"We're so happy, our feet are off the floor," said astronaut Stephen Robinson, who coordinated the spacewalk from inside the shuttle-station complex. It was unwieldy work because of the extra-long hoses and potentially hazardous because of the ammonia. Patrick said the ammonia was solid by the time it bounced off his visor and right glove Saturday night, as he was undoing a connection.

"It was about the kind of quantity of stuff that you would expect if you didn't empty the straw at the end of your drink bag," Patrick reported. "Yeah if you were drinking ammonia," Robinson said from inside. Patrick had a good laugh. Mission Control said slight leakage was expected. As a precaution, Behnken inspected Patrick's suit at the end of the plumbing job, but no contamination was spotted.

Nevertheless, the space-walkers were instructed to wrap up everything early to allow extra time for safety procedures back in the air lock. "I know you guys can't see it, but the lights are on" in Tranquility, shuttle commander George Zamka said as the six-hour spacewalk wrapped up. The $400 million-plus Tranquility and lookout supplied by the European Space Agency will hold life-support systems as well as exercise equipment and a toilet. The domed lookout is essentially an enormous bay window that will provide breathtaking views of Earth. Its seven windows includes the largest ever flown in space: a round one 31 inches across.

While preparing the observation deck for its planned move to another side of Tranquility, the astronauts could not put on an insulating cover at the hatch. It simply did not fit; something interfered with the lock-down bars. Late Saturday, the space station's commander, Jeffrey Williams, reported that bolts seemed to be causing the interference. He removed all eight bolts, saying the clearance would be tight but that the cover likely would fit. It did, with some coaxing NASAThe Associated Press This image taken from video and made available by NASA shows astronauts Robert Behnken and Nicholas Patrick during their spacewalk as they work Saturday outside the International Space Station.

The cover is needed to protect a seal and docking mechanisms from getting too cold when that port is unoccupied. Mission Control had some good news for the six shuttle astronauts before the spacewalk got under way: They will get to spend an extra day at the space station. Mission managers added a 14th day to the mission to give the crew time to move water-recycling equipment into Tranquility.

Ned Hunter, 425-9641 By MARCIA DUNN The Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. The International Space Station's newest room came alive with power Sunday after spacewalking astronauts managed to hook up plumbing despite an ammonia leak. Even though Nicholas Patrick's suit got hit with ammonia, none of the frozen toxic drops stuck to him.

The mishap forced a slightly early end to the spacewalk, however, so the spacewalkers could go through safety procedures. It was the second excursion in three days for Patrick and Robert Behnken. They have one more spacewalk to complete work on the Tranquility room and its attached observation deck, the last major building blocks of the 11-year-old space station. Shuttle Endeavour carried up the pieces last week. With the throw of a few switches, Behnken and Patrick got ammonia coolant flowing through the newly routed Tranquility hoses.

That, in turn, got Tranquility surging with power; most of its systems could not be turned on without a way to get rid of the heat generated by the equipment inside.

She also warned newly-weds not to start doing things for each other that they cannot keep doing throughout their entire married lives.

But such hikes also hit a huge number of Americans who mostly went unmentioned in the furor the 46 million with no insurance at all. That's because for most people who don't get insurance through their jobs and do not qualify for government assistance, the only option is buying individual policies like the ones in WellPoint's Anthem Blue Cross plan, often with high deductibles.

"It's terrible when you come to the house of the Lord and start doing this," Miller said. "It's just something you don't do." Investigators believe the men were targeting someone in the church but don't know if the two who were hit were the intended targets, French said. "If it wasn't the victims that were hit, it was somebody near them," she said.

French said investigators were interviewing witnesses to see if anyone recognized the men. A handful of congregants returned to the church after police processed the crime scene and finished the service. Without younger, healthier consumers, Anthem said, the remaining customers had to shoulder the costs of their own care. 'The result is an insured pool that utilizes significantly more services per individual than under better economic times," the company wrote in a letter sent to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, defending the hike. "The economic thing makes some sense, no doubt about it," said Gary Claxton, an expert on the private insurance market at the Kaiser Family Foundation.

"If people don't have as much money, there are not going to be as many people who can afford to buy insurance and the ones who are more likely to do that will always be the healthier ones." "There's just not any choices. We have thought about just not carrying insurance at all, but it's scary for The Associated Press RICHMOND, Calif. A man wearing a hooded sweatshirt walked into a San Francisco Bay area church and opened fire during a Sunday service, wounding two teenagers, police said. Two other men also wearing hooded sweatshirts were with the gunman when the shooting took place at about 12:30 p.m. in front of about 100 people at New Gethsemane Church in Christ, Richmond police Sgt.

Charles Miller, a 64-year-old deacon at evenly divided between those whose care is shouldered by government and those without any insurance at all. The cost of employer-sponsored health insurance at big companies rose 7 to 10 percent this year, said Tom Billet of Towers Watson, a benefits consulting firm. Preliminary estimates for next year call for roughly the same increase much lower than the ones set out by Anthem and other individual insurers.

"The individual market is sort of its own animal, so to speak," he said. At first glance, WellPoint's rate hike affects only a small group some of the 800,000 people in California who buy dissent to the project. Protesting neighbors have said they received little to no notice that a landfill was going to be built near their properties. Nicholas Beadle, 425-9763 Jeanne Morales, insurance premium was unexpectedly raised the church, said members' of the congregation were about to tell the men to take off their hoods when the shooting began. "I was listening to the choir and all of a sudden there was a 'pop pop pop pop Miller told the San Francisco Chronicle.

"Everyone hit the floor. I didn't know the shooting was inside the church at first, until I heard all of the hollering and screaming." A 14-year-old boy was hit in the shoulder and a 19-year-old man was struck in the leg, French said. Both victims, whose names haven't been released, were hospitalized and were expected to survive. There were no other injuries. The three men fled and no its individual coverage.

But it's also about many more, since just about any American is or, given the uncertainties of the economy, can be a candidate for individual coverage at any time. Millions in group plans have lost jobs and the insurance they count on as a benefit. People in individual plans are trying to keep up with escalating premiums. Some without insurance do so to save money, but as they get older may decide it's not worth the risk. WellPoint defended the hike as a response to the economy.

More consumers are tight. on money and, as a result, those who are younger and healthier are dropping out or taking a pass on individual insurance, leaving a pool of less healthy people requiring more costly care. new set of hear aids mill-level SS00 oft rmli-en) iechnoknv with any other otters.

That conundrum is at the heart of a disagreement that has frozen Democratic health reform efforts in Congress. Reform bills would require most of the uninsured to buy coverage, an idea many Americans detest as heavy-handed government. But without sharing costs across the broadest cross-section of consumers and prohibiting insurers from charg-ing people different premiums depending on their health status, the result is a scenario very much like Anthem's. "I know the American people get frustrated in debating something like health care because you get a whole bunch of different claims being made by different groups and different interests," President Barack Obama said earlier this week in addressing the Anthem hike. "But what is also true is that without some action on the part of Congress, it is very unlikely that we see any reconsideration on Commissioner Aaron Ellison, whose district includes the Denmark area.

Deaton said that Ellison, who declined comment last week, should have made a better effort to gauge whether residents approved of the planned landfill.

Anthem will postpone its plan to raise rates for some California residents who buy insurance on their own, after reaching a deal Saturday with state regulators. The new rates were supposed to start on March 1.

Anthem will delay the hike until May 1, giving the state time to review the increase with the help of an outside consultant.
