Don't know who else has seen this, but I first did on NASAWatch.com:

A nice shot of Discovery in OPF Bay 3 today -- for those of us who don't have access to the OPF:

FWIW, the KSC Video Feeds page has selected one of the OTV cameras in OPF-3, showing Discovery's payload bay:

Article to come, but we've acquired the new FAWG launch manifest (for L2).
Launch date change for STS-122, now NET November 5. LON remains the same as Sept 28. -

That sounds fine. Less strain on the processing flow, all is well. -

Moved from the extensive report (Jan 5) on L2:
OV-103 (STS-122)/OPF-3
Vent door functional has been delayed due to lack of available consoles in firing room 2A; rescheduled for Monday.
MPS/SSME post-flight roll-in operations continue.
WCS removal was completed last night less post ops.
IPR-0005 event timer troubleshooting indicates bad contact on thumb wheel or a bad cable; a breakout box will be installed at the Timer Display Panel to further isolate the failure to the thumbwheel contacts or the timer binary decoder.
FCP picked up IPR 122V -0008 during last waste H2O overboard dump, flow degradation was noticed (MER-14).
Payload removal is scheduled to pick up today.
SCAPE ops for hyper de-servicing and APU catch bottle drains are scheduled for Sunday.
Weekend work: Discovery will be powered up on Sunday to support SCAPE ops for hyper de-servicing and APU catch bottle drains. Other work: SPACEHAB duct removal, RH MLG erosion photos/eddy current insp, WLE instr. data dump, RMS post-flight inspection. -

Wow, that's the right OMS Pod. Didn't think it would look THAT big next to a worker!

Here's a snippet on the Discovery processing - this time from the Stand-up Integration report on L2 (twice a week updates - but expansive). The next update from L2 will be the expansive daily ops reports, which go deeper into every asspect of the day's processing on each orbiter:
OV-103 (STS-122)
· TPS post-flight inspections are about 25% complete.
· On SCAPE, completed hyper deservicing last week.
· One thruster (forward F3D) was identified needing to be changed out. FRCS will need to be removed for that. Will focus on completing V1180 OMS functional, which will get us through the OMS testing to see if there are other thrusters needing to be changed out. Will then know if any other pods need to be removed and returned to HMF besides the FRCS. Have one thruster in question now (R2D).

From L2 (Friday)
OV-103 (STS-122)/OPF-3
V1180 APS Pod functional checkout pre-ops were completed but call-to-stations was delayed due to scupper issues. Testing is scheduled to pick up this morning.
V7253 Orbiter window inspections continue with MIT on windows 7 and 8.
IPR-0004, FES controller B troubleshooting yesterday revealed a bad temperature sensor. The FES functional will hold until vendor evaluation of the failed sensor is conducted.
V1181 (FRCS GHe tank vent: flight) caps have been installed.
OHE-192/V5008, FRCS removal pre-ops worked yesterday and will continue today. F5L and F5R SCAPE work and removal is scheduled for Sunday.
New IPR 122V-0012 for PRYO - During a dedicated hydraulic operation to raise the NLG to support thermography testing, the gear was retracted but the doors did not close. An attempt to assist the doors closed per the paper was made but a technician noticed a hard interference. The gear was extended and hydraulics was powered down. Shop determined the nose landing gear assist thruster was installed, it was supposed to be removed.
V1009, MPS LH2 17 inch disconnect inspections continue.
V6070, Aft MPS cavity purge system flex hose removals are complete.
V6012, Aft hydraulic internal inspections are in work.
CM-441, Midbody bay 11 keel removal is complete.
IPR 122V-0002 RMS end effector troubleshooting continues with auto release testing. Testing could not repeat the on-orbit failure. More to come.

The crew equipment and interface test for the crew of STS-122 has started... quite strange considering I haven't seen anything done for 118 or 120 :O Anyway, some images of the crew with Columbus and Multi-Purpose Experiment Support Structure - Non-Deployable (MPESS-ND) have been posted on KSC Media Archive: http://mediaarchive.ksc.nasa.gov/search.cfm?cat=4

It's not as big as I had imagined.

Why are they conducting CEIT so early? The 118 and 120 crews haven't done theirs (as far as I've heard). Any particular reason for this?

One of several reports from today (dated today) on L2:
OV-103 (STS-122)/OPF-3
GNC Startracker inspection complete/good.
V1180 APS Pod Functional Checkout continues – reference IPR’s below.
IPR 112V-0015 to COOS, RPOD OX Leg secondary reg initial flow was 281 PSI, should be NMT 279 PSI. Detected during V1180 VL3 Op 222. Constrain to V5101.
IPR 112V-0016 TO COOS LPOD OX He system MD412 leg leak of 1480, should be NMT 100. Detected during V1180 VL2 Op 142-22. Constraint to continue. Troubleshooting has been performed to demate the QD, perform a leak check, and remate the QD – leak rate was still high. Additional troubleshooting to depress and retorque on high side resolved the issue?
HYD-235 WSB 1 offload for relief valve R&R started yesterday, continues today.
Preps for Nose cap Thermography were worked yesterday with inspections beginning today.
OBSS removal is complete.
RMS canister lid removal is scheduled for 2nd shift tonight in preparation for RMS removal on Monday.

More snippets from the expansive processing reports on L2: This one from the Daily Ops (Jan 23):
OV-103 (STS-122)/OPF-3
Engines 1, 2, and 3 dome heat shield removal preparations continue; the davit crane was positioned last night.
V1180 APS pod functional checkout is in work. Flight cap installations are complete less cleanup.
V5098, RMS removal. The lid was removed from the box to support RMS removal from the Orbiter yesterday. Removal is scheduled for today, and transport to the lab is scheduled for Wednesday.
UA-A0056 MTS troubleshooting was worked Monday. INS swapped PCMMU from 1 to 2. ISL wants to stay in this configuration (PCMMU-2, MTU osc-2) for the next few days.
Station to Shuttle Power Transfer System (SSPTS) structural and electrical modifications continue.
V1078, APU 1 lube oil deservicing is complete.
V1014, Radiator flow controller checkout is complete and good.
V5182, Fuel cell 1 jumper tube installation was held up last night due to unavailability of parts. The parts were delivered late 2nd shift and work should continue today.
V1173, The port MPM’s have been repositioned to vertical to support latch release.
V5K32, Window #2 removal was completed on 2nd shift last night.
Post flight tile inspections are 64% complete, with 47 cavities remaining.

It seems that I have lost track of the 1E cargo arrangement. I thought they had manifested the ICC-Lite, but the CEIT photos depict the crew looking at an MPESS-ND. So what's the deal here? ICC-Lite or MPESS-ND on STS-122?

The graphic is on the first post of this thread, if that is what you mean?
