NASA orders urgent Spacewalk repairs at station
NASA ordered urgent spacewalks to fix a broken cooling line on the International Space Station. Two American astronauts will swap a pump with a bad valve, potentially via two to three spacewalks on Saturday Monday and next Wednesday, delaying a Virginia delivered cargo ship until mid January. The plan follows a cooling system issue that shut down part of the station's ammonia cooling loop and led to cautious government action.

Probert Not Charged in 1999 Sex Case Cited by Myers
Myers argued that because Probert was not charged or convicted of a sex crime in 1999, he would not be included on the sexual offender registry, and thus there would be no official tracking of his activities or other related information.
