CHICAGO (November 26, 2012) – HIMSS honors Dr. Jeremy Bradley Family Practice located in Owensboro, Ky., as a winner of the 2012 Ambulatory HIMSS Davies Award of Excellence. Since 1994, the Nicholas E. Davies Award recognizes excellence in health information technology, specifically excellence in use of the EHR to successfully improve quality of care and patient safety while achieving a demonstrated return on investment.
The Ambulatory HIMSS Davies Award of Excellence recognizes the most exemplary implementations and utilizations of EHR in independent ambulatory practices, community health clinics/organizations, and enterprise clinics. The award requires that staff in the healthcare system applying for the award assess and document their progress and accomplishments against a framework for thinking about the process of implementing an EHR.
The 2012 Ambulatory HIMSS Davies Award of Excellence winner Dr. Jeremy Bradley opened his practice in 2000 to meet the clinical needs of Daviess County, a federally designated primary care physician shortage location. Dr. Bradley provides primary care to over 9,000 active patients, with 50% of patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or uninsured. The practice employs one physician, one nurse practitioner, and one physician assistant.
In 2008, Dr. Bradley implemented a fully integrated EHR into the practice. The introduction of EHR-enabled clinical quality measurement and reporting, and later Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) practice transformation, with all of its attendant changes in provider roles and office workflow, resulted in vastly improved delivery of clinical care and a return on initial investment of 200 percent.. Following the completion of the EHR implementation, Dr. Bradley was honored by the Bridges to Excellence program for improved quality outcomes associated with diabetes and hypertension, and the practice was the first ambulatory clinic in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to earn Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) status from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA.)
"Dr. Bradley has used EHR technology to improve patient outcomes over time and ensure evidence-based, high quality care," says John Bender, MD, chair, Davies Ambulatory Committee, and Medical Director, Miramont Family Medicine, in Ft. Collins, Colo. "All of us on the Davies Ambulatory Committee congratulates Dr. Jeremy Bradley for his focus on improving the quality of healthcare delivery with the best use of health IT."
Dr. Jeremy Bradley Family Practice will be recognized at the 2013 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition in New Orleans, La. on March 3-7, 2013. For more information on applying for the HIMSS Davies Awards of Excellence, visit the HIMSS website. Applications are accepted throughout the year.

Exploring Veganism
I'm not a vegan or even a vegetarian... but I am considering it. Working in baby steps, phasing out a few things at a time. I like it because it would be healthier for me and for the planet. The biggest difficulty to me is learning a new staple set of recipes; how to know what to subtitute for what; and keeping it financially cheap. One of my friends suggested this site to help with learning new things to cook and how to make the transition. It also helps that I have a handful of friends who are vegan that I can go to for advice. And they are also part of why I am interested. Becuase I like making dinner parties and snacks when friends come over - and I love my friends and don't want to disclude any of them if I can. So here I am hoping to learn some new thigns and make some online friends. :)
fr most ingredients,there's alternatives to them now than there was years ago.they have substitutes for mayo,sour cream,cheese,milk,meat,eggs depending on what you're gonna be cooking.but you have to be sure you get supplements for vitamin B12,either in vitamin form(pill,chewable,dissolvable,etc...) or from fortified foods and nutritional yeast.I'm newly vegan so I'm still getting used to it.there's a lot of good recipes on this site to try.
Hello, one big thing is the cooking. Its extremely different. Once you get it though it's awesome! One suggestion is not quite telling your guests its vegan untill they have eatten it! For some weird reason, or maybe its just my friends and family, people get soo detoured when I tell them it's vegan before they eat. I made awesome cookies with my bro and friend from my new 101 of the best vegan burgers on the planet book for Christmas. Out of the 20 people here only 5 were not phased when I said they were vegan. Everyone else actively stayed away and went for box! EHHH!

Zero-Coupon Bond
A bond that pays no interest. It is sold at a discount from par and matures at par. These are fairly illiquid investments because they do not benefit from changes in interest rates. However, they tend to be low-risk. Zero-coupon bonds fluctuate in price, sometimes dramatically, with changes in interest rates. Sometimes zero-coupon bonds are issued as such; other times they are bonds stripped of their coupons by a financial institution and resold as zero-coupon bonds. A zero-coupon bond is less formally known as a zero.

WASHINGTON, April 26 (UPI) -- The House will vote on taking money from the U.S. healthcare-overhaul law to keep student-loan interest rates from doubling, House Speaker John Boehner said.
Boehner, R-Ohio -- who said the vote would happen Friday -- accused President Barack Obama of political theatrics in his two-day tour of three university campuses in swing states to get Congress to extend the low interest rate on federal student loans.
"You know this week, the president is traveling the country on the taxpayer's dime, campaigning and trying to invent a fight where there isn't one and never has been one on this issue of student loans," Boehner said in a hastily arranged news conference Wednesday.
"Let's fix the problems for young Americans and leave the campaign theatrics for the fall," Boehner said.
The House speaker said the $5.9 billion one-year extension of the low interest rate would be paid for out of a $17 billion prevention and public health fund in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Obama administration's signature healthcare law. Boehner called the healthcare money a "slush fund."
Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., responded, saying Republicans were "yet again asking working families to pay the price instead of closing tax loopholes that benefit special interests."
House Democrats introduced their own measure, which would cancel tax subsidies for big oil companies as a way to pay for freezing student loan rates at current levels.
At his college stops, Obama assailed congressional Republicans for actions he said held up legislation to prevent the interest rate on subsidized Stafford student loans from doubling to 6.8 percent July 1.
Those loans are taken out by nearly 8 million students each year.
A few hours before Boehner spoke, Obama told University of Iowa students a Boehner spokesman had said Obama's focus on student loans was an effort to "distract people from the economy."
"Now think about that for a second, because these guys don't get it," Obama told the boisterous student audience. "If you do well, the economy does well. This is about the economy. What economy are they talking about? You are the economy."
Obama spoke to audiences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Colorado at Boulder Tuesday.
The low interest rate resulted from the 2007 College Cost Reduction and Access Act, which reduced interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans for the following four academic years to the current 3.4 percent, with the proviso the rates would revert to 6.8 percent July 1.
When the 2007 law was passed, 77 Republicans -- including many still in Congress -- voted for it, The New York Times said.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated a one-year freeze on the subsidized Stafford loan interest rate would cost $6 billion.

The Letters of Edward FitzGerald, Vol. I, 1830-1850
Edward FitzGerald (1809-1883) is in all the histories of English literature, and in every Dictionary of Quotations, as the translator of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. That apart, he has not a universal name. Nor did he crave one. When he published his scanty writings, he did it anonymously and in tiny editions. For much of his life he led an inconspicuous existence in one of the least spectacular parts of England. By his own account, he went nowhere, saw no one, and did nothing. He was a quiet man in a quiet place, and it suited him.
Alfred Tennyson thought that the boat race in FitzGerald's Euphranor (published in 1851) was one of the finest things in English prose. But FitzGerald did nothing to push the book. In 1859, when he gave his translation of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám to Bernard Quaritch, the great London book-seller/publisher, he walked in with just an armful of copies, wrapped in a brown paper parcel; and he did his best to make sure that no one would ever identify him as the author of what would soon be some of the most celebrated formulations in Victorian literature. (Had it not been for the persistence of an American admirer of the Rubáiyát, Charles Eliot Norton, FitzGerald might have got away with it.) In this, as in many other matters relating to the outer world, FitzGerald was morbidly, defiantly, and irreducibly odd.
But there was a matter in which he was exactly like everyone else, whether he liked it or not. After he was dead, people were free to publish his letters, and they lost no time in doing it. In 1889 his friend W. Aldis Wright brought out a three-volume set of FitzGerald's Letters and Literary Remains. In 1894, 1895, 1901, 1902-1903, 1908, 1923, 1926, and 1932 further letters were published in one context or another. All gave great pleasure, and a remarkably high proportion of the books in question are available to this day from reprint houses. Henry James, as so often, set the tone for the rest of us when he wrote in 1897 of "the delightful letters of that peculiarly Suffolk genius, Edward FitzGerald"; and in particular the pocketable two-volume Macmillan edition of 1894 has been a long-time favorite.
By nature both ardent and solitary, hearth-bound and expansive, FitzGerald was a predestined letter writer. In fact he really preferred letters to life. Already when he was only twenty-two he wrote to W.M. Thackeray as follows: "Now, Thackeray, I lay you ten thousand pounds that you will be thoroughly disappointed when we come together—our letters have been so warm that we shall expect each minute to contain a sentence like those in our letters. But in letters we are not always together: there are no blue devilish moments: one of us isn't kept waiting for the other: and above all in letters…

ESSAY- Write on: Who do they think they are?
"Who do think you are?" That's the snide little voice that writers hear when we sit down to work, our pens hovering over paper, our fingers poised above keyboards. Who cares what we have to say?
Okay, maybe I'm the only one who hears that voice, but I don't think I'm alone in this. In fact, it's whispering in my left ear as I type the words you're reading now. No one's around, so I just muttered, "Shut up! Leave me alone!"
You're right: I need counseling. (A shrink specializing in counseling writers could make a fortune, if only writers could afford such a luxury.) I just know that I'd have truckloads of confidence today if I'd had some serious encouragement and training in my tender years.
When I was a kid, one of my great pleasures was curling up inside a box with a flashlight and a Nancy Drew mystery novel. (Hmm... come to think of it, maybe I should start saving up for those counseling sessions.) Near the end of fourth grade, having read maybe a dozen of these stories, I figured I could write one, too. I took a few sheets of lined paper home from school, sharpened a pencil and came up with page one of my own mystery novel.
One night while my parents and I were lingering at the dinner table, I showed them my opus. Dad read it carefully, taking slow drags on his after-dinner cigarette, then asked whether I had copied it out of one of my Nancy Drew books.
Now that I'm older and wiser, and have hacked my own way through the parenthood thicket, I know that Dad meant that to be a compliment. At the time, I took it as an accusation of plagiarism. I retreated to my room, and decided that, since I had no discernable individual style, what would be the point of writing? The literary world already had Carolyn Keene– it didn't need me.
In high school, apart from completing assignments, and scribbling my boyfriends' names on my book covers– with "Mrs." tacked onto the front of the name– it never occurred to me to write anything. I would have been embarrassed to be caught writing. After all, who did I think I was, anyway? I'd never met anyone who had written a book. I assumed that writers were members of a superior race. Regular people, like me, shouldn't bother to pick up a pen.
The next time I dared to give in to the creative impulse I was in my late 20s. My husband and I co-wrote a play, which won a contest, and it was produced as part of a playwrights' festival. Spurred by that encouragement, I've been writing ever since.
Our three children inherited our penchant for writing. Lucky for them, they found out about the Young Writers Workshop at the University of Virginia when they were in high school. Waldo, Jackson, and Jill are all Workshop alumni.
The YWW is a program run by the Curry School of Education. High-school students blessed with the desire to write apply for a coveted space in one of their two- or three-week residential summer sessions. Talented kids from all over the country come to Charlottesville for this life-changing experience.
What a relief it must be for a kid to go from a school where his peers likely have little regard for anyone's writing ability to an environment in which this talent is appreciated, where, at last, the student writer is honored, and is immersed, for a few sweet weeks, in a world of ideas expressed as poetry, playwriting, fiction, creative non-fiction, and song.
According to Workshop Director Margo Figgins, "The most important thing that happens here is that students are taken absolutely seriously. Their work as writers becomes the focus of everybody's attention here."
Oh, how I wish a life-altering program like the Young Writers Workshop had been around when the beginning of a mystery novel was streaming from my pencil. I would have understood from that early age that being a writer was something even I could contemplate.
This summer, the folks at YWW are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the program. For a quarter-century, the Workshop has been giving kids the confidence to define themselves as writers, and to demonstrate their talent and creativity publicly.
I bet these Workshop alumni don't hear any nasty little voices in their heads saying, "Who do you think you are?" They already know.

Full-scale offensives like Fallujah inevitably exact a psychic toll. Yet the punishing strain of fighting a hydra-headed insurgency afflicts U.S. troops even on what passes for a normal day in Iraq. Sergeant Justin Harding of the Ramadi-based 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, can't get one of those October days out of his head. His squad, Reaper 2 of Whiskey Company, was heading back to base along one of Iraq's most dangerous roads. The squad's convoy, towing a vehicle disabled by a roadside bomb, was running at slow speed, making it vulnerable to ambush. Sure enough, an insurgent with a rocket-propelled-grenade (RPG) launcher,...

The University's Model United Nations team has been recognized as a distinguished delegation for its representation of the African country of Tanzania. The students attended Model UN earlier this month in New York City where they received the honor, which only 10 percent of the teams earn, and also took home the award for best paper.
"When our name was finally called, it was such a proud, exciting, and relieving feeling. We knew we had done really well at the conference and were excited about the work we had done, and to be recognized for our dedication and level of involvement at the end of the year is incredible and rewarding," said junior Danielle Duchesne, president of UNH's Model UN team.
According to Alynna Lyon, associate professor of political science and the faculty coordinator for the UNH Model UN program, for the first time UNH students took home the awards for "Distinguished Delegation" and "Best Paper." The award-winning paper was written by Kayleigh Mitchell, a senior from Merrimack, N.H.
"This particular group demonstrated extraordinary commitment both in preparation and at the conference itself. Many students began working on their papers months prior to the simulation, and the selection of students to attend New York was competitive," Lyon said.
More than 5,000 delegates, half from outside the United States, come to New York City each spring to discuss current global issues on 20 selected committees. Outside conference sessions, delegations enjoy the proximity to Permanent Missions of other countries to the United Nations and to the United Nations itself.
To compete at Model UN, the team developed a profile of Tanzania that included information on the country's demographics, history, and government. Each team member was responsible for research relevant to their particular UN committee and the topics to be covered at the conference as they related to Tanzania. Students also prepared for the resolution paper process, giving speeches in committee, and the flow of debate and parliamentary procedure.
"The goals of the group going into the week were to participate in the conference as much as possible, to lead collaborative initiatives to best represent Tanzania's role as an exceptional state in Africa, and to make sure to embody the spirit of the UN with compromise, collaboration, and developing solutions that could be accepted by consensus," Duchesne said.
"Tanzania has no strong opinions against any country, so it was great to be able to work with so many countries from all different areas of the world. However, it would often be difficult to work with countries within the African Union because Tanzania is an exception to much of Africa. Africa includes 53 independent member-states to the UN, and they are typically clumped all together as having all of the same problems, same people, and same development rates under 'Africa.' However, Tanzania has managed to escape many of the problems that have plagued many other states because of its stronger, stable government," she said.
While in New York City, the UNH students met with officials with the Tanzania Permanent Mission to the UN, including Justin Seruhere, minister plenipotentiary on disarmament and international security, and Modest Mero, minister plenipotentiary on economic and financial matters. After speaking with the officials, the students proposed a number of legislative initiatives at Model UN, including controlling small weapons use and illicit trade in areas of conflict and refugee populations, and asking more developed countries to support lesser developed countries in implementing strategies and plans for sustainable and green development.
"We are all very proud of the solutions we created because they are all in character with Tanzania's aspirations, and real-world situations and capacities," Duchesne said.

text: Latest news Back to 'BUCL' Map of social media-generated snow depth data across Birmingham With all the snow at the weekend, Catherine Muller teamed up with the online local news provider 'Birmingham Updates' (@BhamUpdates) - who has over 70,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter - in order to collect snow depth data within and surrounding Birmingham. Over 170 people responded to the experiment, noting typical snow depth plus the first 3 characters of their post code. After taking the mean of the data for each post code area an interpolated map layer was produced [fig. 1]. Obviously, the accuracy of the measurements could not be verified (e.g. inches may have been reported by some when it should have been centimetres!). However, in most cases there was more than one measurement for each post code area so a basic 'spatial coherency' quality check was conducted before averaging. Furthermore, the data appears to correlate well with the cumulative radar data. A few US weather companies (e.g. AccuWeather) are beginning to use social media platforms for supplementing weather observations, and in the UK the Met Office's 'Weather Observations Website' (http://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/) collates amateur weather observations, whilst UK Snow Map (www.uksnowmap.com) takes observations of falling snow from Twitter users, who give it a rating out of 10 and report using #uksnowmap. However, this experiment may have been the first its kind to produce an interpolated snow depth map at such a spatial resolution using social media platforms, and certainly engaged a number of people. In fact, Prof Alice Roberts and Prof Iain Stewart both re-tweeted the map as a good example of using public-generated data, and as a result increased the visibility of the Birmingham Urban Climate Laboratory (BUCL). Once BUCL is fully operational, we would like to repeat this experiment during a heat-wave event (perhaps using measurements from car thermometers after sunset) since we would then be able to compare the results with measurements from our network. *The Journal 'Weather' are running a 1-page feature on this work in their March edition.

What's to Become of Us? And Other Berkeley Trivia
Now that the election is behind us, it's time once again to speculate on that eternal existential question: Why bother?
The motto behind this journalistic endeavor, which has taken a variety of forms in the past ten years, is that if people knew what was going on they'd do something about it. This has turned out to be only partially true, because some of the people some of the time want to know something about what's up, but lots of people lots of the time would rather not know, thank you.
In the period when we could afford to pay reporters and printers, a lot of information got thrown at the civic wall like beatniks' spaghetti, and some of it stuck. But often it didn't.
My own most recent involvement with figuring out what dominates the Berkeley brain has been bracketed by two official crusades to make homelessness and other unsightly forms of street life disappear, both of them spearheaded by self-styled liberal/progressive elected officials. In my garage last time I looked (I try not to do that too often) there is still a twenty-year old sign saying "Assemblyman Bates Supports Measures N & O".
Twenty years ago N and O were the letters identifying ballot measures equivalent to this year's Measure S: attempts to legislate misery out of sight. That pair of proposals rousted me out of the political torpor induced by twelve years working to establish a technology company and raising my kids.
I'd spent my early adult years working in the civil rights and anti-war movements, managing political campaigns, going to law school and working as a journalist, but at that point I'd been assuming that the local leftish ensemble, Berkeley Citizens Action, was looking out for my interests and the causes I cared about. It was a rude shock to discover that some of the BCA-backed city councilmembers and legislators I'd supported with my votes and small contributions over close to twenty years were backing a clearly unconstitutional ordinance aimed at restricting freedom of speech.
I joined in the effort to try to explain what was wrong with N and O, but we failed and it passed, partly because there was no longer a local newspaper which reached Berkeley voters. However the ordinance was thrown out when it reached federal court, and civil libertarians hoped a stake had been driven through its heart.
No such luck. Fast forward to Brave New Berkeley 2012, and some of the same cast of characters (including Tom Bates and Linda Maio, still officeholders after all this time) try again—minus the flagrant First Amendment violation. But this time Berkeley voters nixed their plan, and by a healthy margin too.
What's made the difference? I'd like to hope that a resurgent local news scene helped.
In the intervening time, we'd done our part by taking over a failed start-up, the Berkeley Daily Planet, supporting it through eight years but never managing to attract enough advertising revenue from local businesses to break even. What we did manage to do was to attract others to the Berkeley news scene, so that it finally looked like a serious market to a number of publications.
In 1992, as I remember it, there was nothing but the printed San Francisco Chronicle, and the Comical, as we called it then, had a standard template for their Berkeley stories: everything you ever wanted to know about Bezerkeley, a fantasyland where screamingly funny stuff happens all the time. There also was a weekly faux-local paper, predominantly shopping news, operated by a conservative regional chain which produced duplicate issues with different mastheads in towns throughout the East Bay hills and studiously avoided controversy of any kind.
The Daily Cal, then as now, varied widely in quality from year to year and only reached people near the UC campus. The East Bay Express was a literary standout, but not much for news.
Things are a good bit better now. The Chron does occasional serious stories about Berkeley, even if they don't always understand what they observe. The weekly Hills chain has been subsumed into the larger, more professional Media News chain which provides factual stories about Berkeley written by decent reporters. Its variously flagged front pages, which now include the Berkeley Voice, the Contra Costa Times, the Oakland Tribune and the San Jose Mercury, reach quite a few Berkeley readers.
The Daily Cal, which has lots of diligent student reporters who manage to cover many stories, can serve a wider audience thanks to the internet. Online, Berkeleyside.com, anxious not to be considered just a blog, sometimes offers very respectable stories reported by the owner-operators, employee reporters and freelancers, as well as providing a platform for advocates and naysayers of all kinds. And lots of lively locals (Jane Stillwater, Richard Brenneman, Ted Friedman and others) are blogging away with abandon, sometimes on local topics.
During the recent election all of these sources supplied voters with what added up to an impressive variety of useful information and opinion on Measure S which probably contributed to its defeat. Readers seemed to get what it was about.
(The Express, on the other hand, three or four owners down the line from its salad days, is sadly but a thin, shrill echo of its former substantial self. It ran a single story on Measure S by a writer whose beat is usually entertainment—one-sided at best, advertiser-driven at worst.)
Here at what's left of the Berkeley Daily Planet we keep chugging away at informing the public, as much as it's possible to do that with an all-volunteer army. We've been lucky to get contributions from some fine pro bono reporters in the couple of years since we ended commercial print publication. We continue to get excellent opinion, analysis and criticism from people who could hold their own in any arena. ..
News reporting is difficult and time-consuming, and it's not reasonable to expect volunteers to do it for very long at a stretch. News analysis, as we define it (lots of facts colored by some opinion) attracts writers who understand what's going on from a participant's point of view, but even they get burned out. Opinion writing depends on passion, which waxes and wanes.
Publishing all of this online, even on a weekly schedule, is a good bit of work. And I'm not getting any younger, nor are the grandkids. The time has really come to wind down.
But as I've been writing this, two unsolicited news stories complete with photos have come in my email, along with an offer for a timely and useful service feature from an expert in her field. The faithful columnists have sent along their weekly pieces, which have devoted fans. KPFA fans are sounding off on their upcoming election.
It seems wrong to turn such generous free-will offerings down cold. And a new incarnation of Measure S is bound to appear on the horizon sooner or later—as we all learned in Grade Six, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
Nevertheless, we're thinking hard about a way to shift gears, to lessen our time commitment while still serving as a watchdog when injustice appears on the horizon and continuing to provide a forum for the bounty our Berkeley community offers. In the next couple of months or so, as we enjoy the winter holidays, we'll do that by not worrying so much about deadlines, posting whatever comes in when it's convenient rather than creating a new issue every Friday.
Some friends have suggested converting to a blog format, where writers, including me, can do their own posting in a linear, sequential framework. Others think the Planet should become a journal of opinion, perhaps a quarterly, or maybe a magazine devoted to long-form articles on local or wider topics. Many long for another print publication, but that's even more time-consuming and very expensive.
We'd like our readers, as they have many times in the past, to write in with their ideas about what the next step should be. My address is email@example.com. We're waiting to hear what you think. After the new year, we'll revisit this question.

It's been quite a whirlwind these past two weeks—UK National Coffee Throwing Championship, Cup North, and BGE's CoLab: Paris—but after three very successful events, we're back in the post-editing chair and ready to share some of what's been said.
First up from Cup North is none other than 3FE's mad-ideas man, Tamper Tantrum co-founder, and all around gentle giant, Colin Harmon with his twitter-sourced talk title, "Fuck Cupping." Described as "an exploration of cupping as an appropriate process, and the silly metrics we use in coffee shops", "Fuck Cupping" is an eye-opening look at the cupping protocol, its use in shops, and what it means to be innovative in general.
We don't really have much to say other than that, really. This is Colin's third talk at a live event and it's just as much of a mic drop as his presentation at the first ever Tamper Tantrum in 2011.

Astrobiology Top 10: Mars Mission Lifts Off
NASA's Mars Science Laboratory, with its Curiosity rover, awaits launch atop an Atlas V rocket at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. Image Credit: Pat Corkery, United Launch Alliance
NASA began a historic voyage to Mars with the Nov. 26 launch of the Mars Science Laboratory, which carries a car-sized rover named Curiosity. Liftoff from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station aboard an Atlas V rocket occurred at 10:02 a.m. EST (7:02 a.m. PST).
"We are very excited about sending the world's most advanced scientific laboratory to Mars," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said. "MSL will tell us critical things we need to know about Mars, and while it advances science, we'll be working on the capabilities for a human mission to the Red Planet and to other destinations where we've never been."
The mission will pioneer precision landing technology and a sky-crane touchdown to place Curiosity near the foot of a mountain inside Gale Crater on Aug. 6, 2012. During a nearly two-year prime mission after landing, the rover will investigate whether the region has ever offered conditions favorable for microbial life, including the chemical ingredients for life.
"The launch vehicle has given us a great injection into our trajectory, and we're on our way to Mars," said Mars Science Laboratory Project Manager Peter Theisinger of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "The spacecraft is in communication, thermally stable and power positive."
The Atlas V initially lofted the spacecraft into Earth orbit and then, with a second burst from the vehicle's upper stage, pushed it out of Earth orbit into a 352-million-mile (567-million-kilometer) journey to Mars.
"Our first trajectory correction maneuver will be in about two weeks," Theisinger said. "We'll do instrument checkouts in the next several weeks and continue with thorough preparations for the landing on Mars and operations on the surface."
Curiosity's ambitious science goals are among the mission's many differences from earlier Mars rovers. It will use a drill and scoop at the end of its robotic arm to gather soil and powdered samples of rock interiors, then sieve and parcel out these samples into analytical laboratory instruments inside the rover. Curiosity carries 10 science instruments with a total mass 15 times as large as the science-instrument payloads on the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity. Some of the tools are the first of their kind on Mars, such as a laser-firing instrument for checking the elemental composition of rocks from a distance, and an X-ray diffraction instrument for definitive identification of minerals in powdered samples.
To haul and wield its science payload, Curiosity is twice as long and five times as heavy as Spirit or Opportunity. Because of its one-ton mass, Curiosity is too heavy to employ airbags to cushion its landing as previous Mars rovers could. Part of the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft is a rocket-powered descent stage that will lower the rover on tethers as the rocket engines control the speed of descent.

The mission's landing site offers Curiosity access for driving to layers of the mountain inside Gale Crater. Observations from orbit have identified clay and sulfate minerals in the lower layers, indicating a wet history.
Precision landing maneuvers as the spacecraft flies through the Martian atmosphere before opening its parachute make Gale a safe target for the first time. This innovation shrinks the target area to less than one-fourth the size of earlier Mars landing targets. Without it, rough terrain at the edges of Curiosity's target would make the site unacceptably hazardous.
The innovations for landing a heavier spacecraft with greater precision are steps in technology development for human Mars missions. In addition, Curiosity carries an instrument for monitoring the natural radiation environment on Mars, important information for designing human Mars missions that protect astronauts' health.
The mission is managed by JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The rover was designed, developed and assembled at JPL. NASA's Launch Services Program at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida managed the launch. NASA's Space Network provided space communication services for the launch vehicle. NASA's Deep Space Network will provide spacecraft acquisition and mission communication.
The Mars Science Laboratory mission is of immense importance to NASA's astrobiological objectives at Mars, and will help scientists determine whether or not past or present life could have gained a foothold on Mars. The Mars Science Laboratory, along with its Curiosity rover, is truly NASA's first astrobiology mission since the Viking landers of the 1970s.

Curiosity's Instrument Package
- SAM (Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer) will be able to measure mineralogy, organics and isotopes in rocks, soil and the atmosphere of Mars. SAM will search for a range of compounds of carbon, such as methane, that could be associated with life.
- The CheMin (Chemistry and Mineralogy) instrument will study minerals in rocks and soil. Minerals are shaped by the conditions in which they form, and studying the minerals in samples can thereby provide evidence of past martian environments.
- The Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument will vaporize dust from the surface and analyze underlying rock. ChemCam can even analyze samples from a distance.
- The Mast Camera (MastCam) will take color images and video of the martian surface, providing astrobiologists with a ground-level view of the research site in Gale Crater. This will allow scientists to guide the rover and identify features of interest that provide information about past environmental conditions, and sites that can be examined up close with other instruments.
- The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) will provide close-up views of minerals, textures, and structures in rocks, debris, and dust. This will help astrobiologists identify geomorphological evidence of liquid water.
- MARDI (Mars Descent Imager) will take video during MSL's descent. This 'astronaut' view of the terrain will help scientists identify science targets and guide the rover.
- RAD (Radiation Assessment Detector) will measure radiation at the surface. This data is useful in determining the current habitability of the martian surface and challenges that could face future human explorers. Radiation will also be a major obstacle for organisms that are used to aid long-duration human missions, such as crops that might be grown for food on Mars.
- The APSX (Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer) instrument will measure chemical elements in rocks and soils. APSX data will help identify environments that were once exposed to liquid water. APSX was funded through international partnership with the Canadian Space Agency.
- REMS (Rover Environmental Monitoring Station) is a weather station that will provide data concerning the environment of modern-day Gale Crater. This information will help astrobiologists determine the potential for life on present-day Mars and the conditions that could confront future missions. REMS was funded through international partnership with the Spanish government and the Centro de Astrobiologica in Spain.
- The DAN (Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons) instrument is able to detect water content in ice and minerals. DAN is also able to search for layers of water and ice up to 2 meters below the surface. Studying the water content of present day Mars can help astrobiologists determine how much water could have been present at the surface on ancient Mars, and where these reservoirs of water have disappeared to today. By searching for water and ice beneath the surface, DAN will also help astrobiologists identify potential environments for extant life on present-day Mars. DAN was funded through international partnership with the Russian Space Agency.

Next year was supposed to be a big season for referenda on the ballot.
After all, a record number of referendums -- the name for ballot measures that seek to block an act of the legislature -- have been filed this year: eight.
But three have failed to make the ballot, and a fourth -- to reverse legislation to include material about the contributions of gays and lesbians in school curriculums -- is likely to come up short of the necessary signatures.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Why do referenda keep failing?
Because California makes it too hard to qualify referenda.
The problem boils down to two things: too many signatures and too little time. Backers of a referendum have to collect the same number of valid signatures necessary for an initiative -- 504,760 -- but in much less time: 90 days, as opposed to the 150 days permitted for an initiative.
To collect that many signatures that fast requires so much money that only the wealthiest people and interests have any chance of reaching the standard.
Amazon, before it abandoned its referendum effort as a part of a deal, was on its way to spending $5 million to qualify a referendum of legislation to tax purchases.
Why does this matter? Because referendums are the healthiest form of direct democracy.
California's initiative process, which allows people and groups to circumvent the legislative process entirely, is famously inflexible. Interest groups and voters have used it for carve-outs that make the budget more difficult to balance and the state more difficult to govern.
But the referendum offers the people the ability to pass judgment -- and communicate directly -- with lawmakers.
It's a more direct and less damaging process, that's more likely to produce engagement with the government, and deliberation over what the legislature is doing.
One possible reform would be to reduce signature standards and provide more time for referenda -- while putting a few restrictions on the initiative process.
A direct democracy that had more referendums and fewer initiatives almost certainly would be healthier.
