STS-114 Daily Launch Window?

Does anybody have the launch window, nominal in-plane liftoff times for
STS-114 for the range of days (May 15 thru June 3) that NASA is
planning to launch? Unless the Space Station is going to be doing a lot of
maneuvering between now and then these times are pretty much fixed.

I don't have the complete range of windows. The mission press kit lists
3:50 p.m. EDT as the "preferred in-plane launch time" on May 15 with a
5 minute window. I understand that the window is a little earlier each
day but don't know the math involved.

About 24 minutes earlier each day. Four of that 24 comes from the Earth's
motion around the sun, the other 20 from the westward shift of ISS' orbit
plane due to Earth's equatorial bulge.
