Martian asteroid

Has anyone seen/heard anything more concerning the asteroid that has a chance to collide with Mars on the 30th? I thought there'd be updated trajectory info by now...

Howdy,

I haven't really heard or seen anything in the news myself. but if your interested, you can go to the NEO website from JPL and look up more info on the asteroid. here's the link: http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2007+WD5&orb=1

Also, here is an article I found from the Planetary Society on the subject:
