Actually the current PAO is Kelly Humphries, Orbit 2 shift on this mission, PAO Pat Ryan is on the crew's overnight sleep period Orbit 3 shift, and PAO Kylie Clem is on the Orbit 1 shift in the morning of the crew's day.

How does the SRMS reach past the s4 truss structure to manuver the s5 and s6 to the end? I think the mobile base only goes as far as the s3. thats gotta be a prettty long reach, unless it has some sort of extension?

It was already done with P5, so you know that S5 is achievable. As for S6, NASA has some video dealing with how they'll do that:

Just caught about a 7 minute visible pass of the shuttle/station - just to my north visible in Southern Ontario Canada. As always, beautiful!

Beautiful pass over northern Indiana a few minutes ago... why does it appear reddish, almost like Mars? I haven't noticed this before, is it the weather or something about the station? Bob

Saw it pass overhead here a few minutes ago. The red is weather related, I think.
What I'm impressed with is the brightness. I'm looking into a lot of lights (literally shining in my face) and some city haze (it's hot here) and I can still see ISS as brightly as I could out in the country before new addition (and the docked shuttle). We'll be seeing this thing in daylight in no time.

Just had a nice pass here too (Buffalo NY). 11:26 PM, magnitude 0.4 according to Heavens Above. It was relatively short (only about 2 minutes), but nice and bright. However, I didn't notice any reddish tint. It probably has to do with weather conditions in your area.

Two very good passes this evening in Toronto.. first was 3 mins and the second for 2 mins... this structure is very bright.. I am amazed how much brighter its getting from the original ISS I witnessed many years ago.
On the second pass I got a few seconds of sunlight reflecting off one of the arrays and the brighness was a lot brighter than Mars... There is no way you can miss a pass anymore.. The first pass I got to resolve three areas of brighness with the unaided eye.. quite a sight..
Colour did change during the two passes.. Expect this as it is lit with light close to the terminator, and thus impacted by the earths atmosphere

Lord knows I'm no orbital mechanic (the extent of my knowledge is that objects do, in fact, orbit the Earth) but I imagine it has to do with the angle at which the station is seen. The closer to the horizon the ruddier it is due to the amount of atmosphere the reflected light is shining through. My pass was somewhat far to the north, hence the reddish color.

Just saw ISS fly past the North Star here in Utah. Seemed about as bright as Jupiter, probably a little brighter. Jupiter was to the south so I was able to glimpse the two on the same pass. Wasn't as bright as Venus. ISS also seemed a little bit "ruddy" and when I observed it through the binoculars there was no "H" shape like I was expecting, but there was a definite beginning of a shape and some little points of light that seemed like they were flying in formation with ISS (probably reflections off other parts of the structure?), it wasn't just a round point of light.

After listening to Holly in the ISS FD update, it seems they have become even more conscious of momentum changes (perhaps they are just talking more about it too?). But one good result may be innovation in the handling of momentum changes. Perhaps increased fuel efficiency through using the thrusters less.
They were seemingly working on contingencies for maintaining attitude after shuttle depart using the CMGs without thrusters. Don't have access to L2 but has this brought out anything new in attitude control?
