The theme for this year's Fire Prevention Week is "Stay Fire Smart! Don't Get Burned." The easiest way to protect yourself from fire is to always exit the building when you hear a fire alarm and see those flashing lights.

NASA's Messenger spacecraft, which is carrying an $8.7 million University of Colorado instrument, will make its third and final flyby of Mercury on September 29. The mission? To take pictures of Mercury to put up on Facebook. Well, not quite. The mission is to take high-resolution color images of the surface terrain, as well as taking ultraviolet and visible light measurements of the planet's harsh surface. The biggest question that scientists are hoping to solve is the amount of iron there is on Mercury's surface. Iron is the main cause for a strong magnetic field. Over the next couple of years, images and information will stream back into the country, allowing more and more CU students to become involved in analyzing the data. For more information on the Messenger mission and to see what your fellow CU students are investigating, go to http://www.colorado.edu/news/r/d8b462aa4456fc10e063fc9f9aa5c5a5.html. ### Health concerns for traveling abroad Before traveling, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention advises that all travelers should make sure they are up to date on their vaccines, medications, and overall health.
