A little bit more (perhaps last we'll hear, hopefully) about the fuel cell issue in the MMT wrap-up from the execute package:
There is no plan to push in the phase A circuit breaker unless the H2
motor is struggling, the fuel cell is flooding, or the pH sensor is needed to
troubleshoot an issue with the fuel cell. The cb retention device was installed as a
precaution. You can expect no additional discussion of this item in the MMT
summaries unless the situation changes.
Edit: there's also a good explanation about the issue with the speedbrake channel in the flight control system during launch.

And we have a good burn!!
I wonder if we will be able to have the Flight Deck Camera coverage during docking like in STS-114? Sure Hope So as it really is cool as you can barely make out the station running into the ODS.

What's with the lack of ISS video for the RBAR? 
Possibly Ku blockage, if I had to guess; the P6 gets in the way to some extent...
