The Endeavour will not Launch on Monday and has been postponed 72 hours since Friday. The examination by NASA  concluded that the external fuel tank of the shuttle would be drained of its oxygen and hydrogen propellants and the engineers do not feel it would be a safe launch under these circumstances. This is quite emotional for Mark Kelly the Commander of the shuttle who's wife Gabrielle Gifford was shot in the head back in January travelled all the way from Texas to witness and support her husband while the  Endeavour launches. She may not be able to remain in Florida due to her rehab that needs to take precedence back in Texas.

A 5 year old gets a platinum card from Capital One credit company. The mother became concerned when her son received junk mail for a credit card. The mother called the credit bureau and stated her sons age and would like the mail to stop in fearing that it could get into the wrong hands. They told the mother "to go through the process and apply for the card and the computer will automatically reject him, due to his age." The child did receive the credit card from Capital One and when the mother called the company it automatically activated the card. When she called the company again they refused talk to her because she was not the her  5 year old son "Hunter." She called the Iteam (investigation bureau) and they contacted the company and then they agreed to speak with the mother. The problem is corrected and the Capital One guaranteed that it would not show up on Hunter's credit report.
