Has Discovery re-entered the atmosphere yet?

They should be landing within half an hour, right? Does anyone know if Discovery made it back into the atmosphere without being hurt or problems?
 
If the crew gets the go-ahead from Mission Control for the first landing opportunity, Collins and Pilot Jim Kelly will execute an engine burn that drops Discovery from orbit at 3:40 a.m. EDT. If weather prohibits landing on that orbit, Discovery will have another opportunity about 90 minutes later.

If they take the first opportunity, they should begin to descend towards the atmosphere in 1:10
 
They're not landing until 4:46 AM EDT. According to the landing faq on nasa.gov, they don't enter the atmosphere until an hour before landing.
