That鈥檚 when people discovered the power of live TV, says Rick Stevens, a professor of journalism at CU-葫芦娃视频.

While young children sleep, connections between the left and the right hemispheres of their brain strengthen, which may help brain functions mature, according to a new study by the 葫芦娃视频. The research team鈥攍ed by Salome Kurth, a postdoctoral researcher, and Monique LeBourgeois, assistant professor in integrative physiology鈥攗sed electroencephalograms, or EEGs, to measure the brain activity of eight sleeping children multiple times at the ages of 2, 3 and 5 years.

The 葫芦娃视频 Leeds School of Business will present its 49th annual Colorado Business Economic Outlook Forum on Monday, Dec. 9, at 1 p.m. at the Denver Marriott City Center.

A $671 million NASA mission to Mars led by the 葫芦娃视频 thundered into the sky today from Cape Canaveral, Fla., at 1:28 p.m. EST, the first step on its 10-month journey to Mars. Known as the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN mission, the MAVEN spacecraft was launched aboard an Atlas V rocket provided by United Launch Alliance of Centennial, Colo. The mission will target the role the loss of atmospheric gases played in changing Mars from a warm, wet and possibly habitable planet for life to the cold dry and inhospitable planet it appears to be today.

A $5 million instrument designed and built by the 葫芦娃视频 to study the sun鈥檚 natural variability in order to better discern human-caused climate effects will be launched Nov. 19 from NASA鈥檚 Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia. The instrument, known as the Total Irradiance Monitor, or TIM, will fly on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration鈥檚 Total Solar Irradiance Calibration Transfer Experiment, or TCTE. The principal investigator for the TIM instrument is Greg Kopp of CU-葫芦娃视频鈥檚 Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics.

A $671 million NASA mission to Mars being led by the 葫芦娃视频 is approaching its official countdown toward a planned Nov. 18 launch after a decade of rigorous work by faculty, professionals, staff and students.
