You may want a copy of this book in the form of a planar cellulose information
retrieval system, i.e. a printed book. They make good gifts, and are more familiar
to most of us than electronic copies. But finding a printed copy of a book is
sometimes difficult. This section is intended to give you some help by making it
easy to use the more common ways of searching.
1 The first column consists of links to the home pages of the biggest suppliers of books by mail: Amazon and Barnes & Noble. These two suppliers have mostly new books, and their new book inventory probably has an overlap of something like 90%, but this does not mean that they both have exactly the same price. Both of them also list used books from outside suppliers, and the used book inventories are usually quite different. ABE Books is a loose grouping of some 17,000 independent bookstores that list their inventory in a common database - most of these are used books that vary from just issued best sellers to rare and antique books.
From all three home pages you can do searches, look at comments, check prices of both new and used copies, look at various formats such as hardback, paperback, eBook formats and much more.
2 The second column has links to Barnes & Noble and Amazon pages describing their new eBook Readers. These have become very popular lately as they allow the purchase of new books and textbooks at prices lower than the printed copies, and in a format that many people find attractive.
3 Clicking on the links in the third column sends you to the supplier along with the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) of the book described on this page if we have been able to find that number. Note that an ISBN refers to a specific edition of a book. Thus a single book might have many ISBNs: Hardback edition, softback, large print, foreign language and so on. Usually the book listing on B & N or Amazon will have links to the other editions that are available.
4 Is our ISBN wrong, or perhaps missing all together. Help us out. Search on B&N and Amazon. If you find one, please let us know. Enter the thirteen (Barnes & Noble) or ten (Amazon) digit number (no dashes) in the boxes above and click on the Submit ISBN button. The numbers shown in the boxes are the numbers we have on file, or zero if we haven't found one.

Published on: Apr 24, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print As an estimated 20,000 people descended upon Chicago for the annual BIO convention Monday, assembling to discuss all facets of biotechnology and industry, the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance held another of their ongoing panel discussions, known as the Food Dialogues. Called "The Straight Story on Biotech in Agriculture," the goal of this panel was to talk about how media covers agricultural biotechnology. Moderated by CNBC senior analyst Ron Insana, the panel also included Dr. Bob Goldberg, UCLA plant molecular biologist; Emily Anthes, science journalist and author; Jerry Slocum, Mississippi soybean farmer; Melinda Hemmelgarn, registered dietician and radio host; Mike Olson, radio host; Pam Johnson, Iowa corn farmer; Steve Smith, head of RoldGold tomatoes and chair of saveourcrops.org.Jerry Slocum (speaking) and Ron Insana share ideas at the Food Dialogues Chicago event, April 22. Catch up on the full story at Genetic Modification, a Hot Topic at Food Dialogues: Part One. Panel participants covered GM foods and cropping practices, but when discussion turned to labeling GM foods, Mike Olson referred back to the vote in California against labeling GMOs as "Wounded Knee," saying that the industry's $46 million onslaught against the measure revealed the "ineptitude" of those who campaigned in support of labeling. Emily Anthes, however, didn't believe the labeling measures that have been brought forth so far have been about transparency - which she believes in. "The campaigns haven't been about transparency, they've been about fear. It's also not clear to me that GMOs are all that hard to avoid if that's important to you."The Food Dialogues Chicago panel participants share ideas April 22. Melinda Hemmelgarn added it was important to label because not all types of food have a variety of choice, such as infant formula. Indeed, for years many within and outside agriculture have argued that consumers might be more accepting of GM crops if they had a benefit to consumers, as Olson asserted again during the panel. Bob Goldberg agreed, but added that such products are in development and their introduction has been hindered by anti-GM hysteria. "We have vitamin A rice that's been in development for 10 years and many studies show it's safe. It hasn't gotten out because of regulatory burden and pushback," he explained. He went on to question why there's so much regulation regarding genetic engineering of something, for example, like a hypoallergenic peanut, yet traditional plant breeders can breed a peanut protein into a crop and bring it onto the market with no regulatory oversight.Bob Goldberg, Emily Anthes (speaking) and Jerry Slocum discuss GM food labeling at the Food Dialogues Chicago Event, April 22. "If I created a hypoallergenic peanut in my lab that has not one ounce of that protein, I'd have to go through regulatory hurdles that cost 100 million dollars. So it will never get out there," Goldberg explains. "There have been GM hypoallergenic peanuts that will never get out because of pushback." "But we don't know the unintended consequences of the genetic engineering," Hemmelgarn said, in what became one of the most heated exchanges of the discussion. "But we do know that for the most part, genes function in very predictable ways. And we can use good science to test them," Goldberg argued. "We can't possibly anticipate all of the unintended consequences," Hemmelgarn continued. "Then do you just throw up your hands and say, 'don't do any science'?" Goldberg fired back.

CoQ10 LotionI step out of the shower and the first thing I do after drying off is apply CoQ10 Lotion. It instantly restores pure goodness to my face.
CoQ10 Eye Cream
I feel like I'm pampering my skin when I use it; I can feel it.
Q10 Water Mist
I use it all day long at work, especially during times when my skin is unhappy with me, the weather or anything else that might have offended it. There's a moment of fresh luxury when you spray into the air and walk through the Q10 mist.
Executive assistant to the CFO, eBay, Inc.
I love my job because...
I get to work with smart people who are passionate about the business. Every day we strive to grow and connect commerce for our customers—which may sound a bit "corporate-y," but it's true.
She's got game
From about the time I was 10 years old, a rough estimate would put me at just under 10,000 hours of tennis playing. These days when I'm not injured, my tennis coach and I hit once a week.
My boyfriend and I take our ragdoll kitty to the beach, where she takes on the waves, tries to hunt the gulls (unsuccessfully) and otherwise gets her paws all muddy with wet sand. She even goes to the farmers' market in her stroller. Her trusty companion, our slightly younger and much svelter Bengal looks like a beautiful leopard, but acts like a field mouse.
Guiding light
As an advocate for a foster child, my sole purpose in the complex court and social services system is to be there for the child. An advocate is like a big sister: My primary mission is to expose the child to as much of the world as I can. And when she is older and can make her own decisions, she might also remember what wonderful things the world offers if only you stay on the right path.
Beauty icons
Angelina Jolie for her grace, smarts and sexiness, and Joyce Kreus, another DHC Customer Spotlight. How wonderful was she to get to know? She simply glows! I want to be like her. Read Joyce's interview at DHCcare.com.
All-time favorite beauty look?
I really do like the '20s look with sleek finger waves and dramatic eye makeup.
On feeling beautiful in your own skin
The self-confidence you feel and exude is who you are and is also the essence of being beautiful. Confidence could be the most attractive aspect of a person.
More about Aileen
Do you like to cook?
We love to grill! There is a wonderful Italian butcher shop in our neighborhood where we are able to get the most delectable meats. We treasure the local farmers market where there is fresh produce to be had.
Where do you like to travel and why?
I can't sit still on an airplane, so I like the short hops. My most favorite is Hawaii. I have been to Oahu, Maui and Kauai but not to the big island. It's my next destination. It's got to be the blue water that draws me to Hawaii.
Why is skincare important to you?
Skincare helps me stay in my confidence zone. It's the way I put my best face forward when I go out into the world.

At 93, Alvina Pryor has lived long enough to recognize when she is getting the runaround. And the Hickory Hills resident is pretty sure the Internal Revenue Service is yanking her chain.
Her journey through the seventh layer of bureaucratic damnation started innocently enough in March, when she filed her federal tax return.
Pryor thought her $4,006 refund would be dispersed quickly. After all, she had never had any issues in the past. But in mid-April she received a letter from the IRS saying her return had been delayed because the agency needed more information.
She called the phone number provided on April 18.
"After a two-hour wait, I talked to a representative," Pryor said. "She told me after she got my info that everything was A-OK, and I will receive my refund in six to eight weeks."
Pryor said she waited two months but did not receive her refund. So on June 15, she called again. That time, she was told there was concern that her identity had been stolen, she said.
"I was thinking, just send me the damn money and I don't care about identity theft," Pryor said.
The representative agreed there was nothing wrong with her return, and again promised the $4,006 would arrive in six to eight weeks, Pryor said.
Two months later, on Aug. 13, with the money still missing, Pryor called the IRS yet again. For a third time, she was told to expect her refund in six to eight weeks. By then Pryor was, shall we say, perturbed.
She called the IRS again in September and was told there was still a "hold" on her return, but the hold would be lifted and she would receive her money in — you guessed it — six to eight weeks.
Tired of waiting, she wrote to What's Your Problem? on Oct. 8. "I don't know what the (heck) is going on," she said.
Her instructions were simple. "Make them feel like a little flea," she said.
Pryor said she thought the IRS was stringing her along. And she wasn't happy. "I want to put the government on a slab and slice them into little pieces," she said.
The Problem Solver called IRS spokesman Michael Devine and forwarded Pryor's letter.
Devine said he could not comment specifically on Pryor's situation because of privacy issues but promised to forward her information to the taxpayer advocate for Illinois.
"We will assume a financial hardship for a 93-year-old who hasn't gotten a $4,000 refund," he said. "Thanks for bringing this up to us and I will do the best I can to get it to the person who will make something happen."
On Monday morning, Pryor received a call from an IRS representative, who said her refund has been approved and should arrive by Friday.
"She asked for my Social Security number," Pryor said. "I said 'I shouldn't be giving that to anybody but I guess I'll give it to the IRS.'"
It worked.
A jubilant Pryor called the Problem Solver on Wednesday afternoon.
"I got my dang check today," she said. "I'm feeling good about it. I'm going right to the bank."

Pushing the Perception of Pontoons.
One thing is certain, Manitou Pontoon Boats has never been content with the status quo. While other manufacturers may find satisfaction with simple upgrades to seat fabrics and color schemes; we are continually working to rollout new innovations every year. In fact, Manitou is notorious for our willingness to push the perception of pontoons by developing better handling, safer, faster, more equipped watercraft. This year is no exception, as we were awarded an additional patent for our revolutionary V-Toon® technology that makes our boats even more noticeable. So, whether your desire is to lounge in the most innovative seating group on the water, or give your guests a ride that'll leave them giddy with excitement - you can count on a Manitou to deliver.
Manitou Making Waves Again? Absolutely.
The V-Toon® - an innovation so significant, it was recently awarded a broadened U.S. Patent nearly one year to the day after the original patent. Our V-Toon® technology involves the addition of a larger 27" center aluminum tube, which is then dropped 1.25" below the outside 23" tubes to provide the optimum 5.25" differential. The tubes are then fitted with strategically engineered and placed positive angle lifting strakes resulting in dramatically enhanced planing, performance, and efficiency of the boat. So much so, that the V-Toon® pontoon accelerates, planes, and turns much like a traditional v-hull boat. Dare we say better? Maybe you should try one and judge for yourself?
Whether you're aiming to find the best way to sunbathe in style on the water, fishing for an angler model that doesn't cut any corners, or seeking a stylish and comfortable boat that's backed with some serious muscle, Manitou can find the right boat for your boating needs. To get started, take a look through our buying guide. Browse different floor plans, options, and color packages to determine which of our luxury pontoon models suits your boating needs best. You can also request a brochure of our 2014 models, and find a Manitou dealer near you with the Manitou Dealer Locator.
Manitou Pontoon Boats has changed the way pontoons should look on the water for 2014 with all new wall designs on many of our models. Once again we have looked at what our competitors offered and raised the bar with our own version. From Aurora to Legacy, twin tube to SHP, Manitou Pontoon Boats has a boat that will suit your needs on the water perfectly.View All Manitou Videos

Tirunesh Dibaba double 08
This should be one of mine. (Actually, I didn't save my picks, and now I don't remember all of them. )
Maybe some people picked the 10K race separately (I hope I am not the only one!), so I will just comment on the 5K and the importance of historic double.
As other people mentioned, the 5K race was a letdown after the epic 10K. But it was important because Defar was not in the 10K race. Defar was both the defending Olympic champion and the reigning world champion, and the second fasted woman ever in 5K. And beating her in head to head was very important in defining Dibaba's place in history. I expected Dibaba to win the gold in 10K, I was hoping she would win the gold in 5K.
Just you i'm afraid and it should say
Tirnesh Dibaba in 2008 10000m Final.
i must have made up the double bit !!

The No-Needle Vasectomy
Vasectomy is an operation performed on a man to cause permanent sterility. It works by blocking the transport of sperm from the testicles. Semen is still ejaculated and appears normal, but it will not contain sperm. Vasectomy does not affect a man's sex drive or hormones or sexual performance.
Vasectomy is a common operation, performed about 500,000 times annually in the U.S. It is a brief procedure that is performed in a doctor's office or a clinic. The operation takes about 10 minutes, and you may return to light work the next day, but you will need to avoid strenuous work and sports for one week. You may still be fertile for several weeks after vasectomy. For this reason, you must use temporary birth control until your semen is tested and shows no more sperm.
Vasectomy through the decades has consistently proven to be a safe and effective surgery. Techniques vary among surgeons, depending upon training and experience. Since the 1970s, doctors around the world have contributed to advances in instruments and technique that have made possible less invasive vasectomies.
No-Scalpel Vasectomy
One such advancement was the No-Scalpel Vasectomy, a refinement, based on an innovative instrument introduced by Dr. Li Shunquiang in China, called the sharp dissecting forceps. This innovation eliminated the scalpel. At The Vasectomy Clinic, Dr. Wilson has used the no-scalpel technique since 1989 in over 20,000 vasectomies.
No-Needle No-Scalpel Vasectomy
Eliminating the scalpel was a welcome advance, but many patients still felt anxious about the needle. In 1999 Dr. Wilson first succeeded in eliminating the needle entirely from vasectomy. He called this the no-needle no-scalpel vasectomy (NNNSV), or simply No-Needle Vasectomy (NNV).
In No-Needle Vasectomy, Dr. Wilson uses a "hypospray" injector to instantly deliver a tiny stream of lidocaine solution through the skin and into the vas deferens. There is no needle or syringe. The skin and vas are instantly numb. A second hypospray injection numbs the other vas.
Just one hypospray on each vas is faster and more effective than lidocaine delivered by needle injection. Patients typically describe the sensation as a mild snap, like a rubber band against the skin. So while it is not entirely painless, the hypospray has been widely preferred over a needle among over 16,000 NNV patients at The Vasectomy Clinic. In addition to improving patient comfort and relieving anxiety, it also avoids needle damage to blood vessels in the area.
The result of this continued development and refinement of vasectomy technique has been improved comfort, quick healing, and rare complications for our patients. There are now many doctors in the U.S., Canada, and other countries who have incorporated these advanced techniques to improve vasectomy outcomes for their patients.
The Detailed Surgical Procedure
NOTE: Some men do not care to know all the details of the surgical procedure; you may skip over this section. Others want to know more after reading this summary. We would like to provide you with all the information you need. Please feel free to call us for more information.
After completing the consultation and the necessary paperwork, we will make you comfortable, reclining on an exam table. Your partner may sit beside you. The doctor will examine your genital area and ensure that preparation is adequate. He will cleanse the scrotum with a warm antiseptic solution. He will keep you informed and help you relax during the five to ten minute procedure.
The doctor gently locates each vas deferens and administers local anesthetic with one snap of the hypospray over each vas, which numbs the central skin site and both vasa. The left vas deferens is then held just under the skin on the front of the scrotum while a small puncture opening about 1/8 inch long is made in the skin to expose the vas. The vas is separated from the sheath of surrounding tissues and brought out through the opening. It is then cut and sealed using electrocautery, a small electric current that heats the lining of the vas.
The sealing effect of cautery is temporary, but it stimulates formation of a strong scar that blocks the vas. This method has proven to have a high success rate. The two ends of the vas are then separated by a half-inch, and a layer of sheath tissue is closed with an absorbable suture, forming a barrier between them. This barrier helps to ensure that when healing is taking place, the ends of the vas will not reunite, allowing sperm to cross. The left vas is then put back in place, and the right vas is located and held where it can be reached through the same central opening. The right vas is cut and sealed, and the sheath sutured, just like on the left. The right vas is then put back into place.
No stitches are needed. The small skin opening will seal closed by itself. Your briefs will hold the gauze dressing in place overnight. After a few minutes you may get dressed and leave.
You are to go directly home to rest until the next day. You will be given written instructions for your care after vasectomy (pdf.)
More About Anesthesia Using the Hypospray Jet Injector
The hypospray, or jet injector, Dr. Wilson uses for NNV is the MadaJet. The late Ralph Adam, M.D., founder of Mada Medical, Inc., invented the MadaJet and introduced it in the 1970's. It has most commonly been used for dental anesthesia. It is one of several designs of needle-free jet injectors used in place of a needle and syringe for administration of medications, vaccines, and local anesthetics.
Gas powered jet injectors have been used since the 1940's for immunizing military personnel and school children. The MadaJet utilizes a spring-loaded piston, which generates about 2000 psi in the fluid chamber. The lidocaine fluid is emitted through an orifice of about .006 inches, then through an air space, forming the tiny stream that penetrates the skin. Entering the superficial tissues, the lidocaine disperses evenly and instantly within about a dime-size area to block all the nerve receptors to a depth of about ¼ inch, with great efficiency. Each vas, in turn, must be held accurately in position for the hypospray.

The funny thing is that I really have no beef with the Green Bay Packers. I don't really dislike them. The Packers have a storied history, and those who love the game of football generally look up to that organization as one of football's strong foundations. I think its pretty cool that Green Bay fans can actually buy into the team through $250 shares. I'd be willing to do that with the Broncos.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers seems to have all the right moves. He's a great passer, he's humble, and he doesn't portray that pretty boy, stuffy, vampire-like image of Tom Brady I know we all hate so much. He seems like a normal guy. How can you not like Aaron Rodgers?
All in all, the Green Bay Packers are what you want in a football team. They win in all the right ways. They are defending the Super Bowl Champions. But now that they threaten to become the second team to go undefeated in National Football League history, oh how I hate them so.
I am tired of hearing about the perfection of Rodgers, and seeing the long, straggly hair of Clay Matthews and his defense. They are a team of perfection, and I can't wait to see them lose. Why? Well, I guess I don't really know.
It's not like I have any profound love for the 1972 Miami Dolphins who, so far, are the only team to win all regular season games as well as their post-season games, including the Super Bowl. I could care less about the champagne parties the Dolphin veterans throw themselves every year when there are no undefeated teams left. I wasn't alive when the Dolphins went undefeated, and I don't really care that they are the team that's done it.
I was frightened out of my mind when the 2007 New England Patriots team threatened to become the second undefeated team in history, when they got close to a perfect 19-0 season, but then lost to the underdog Giants in the Super Bowl. Pretty Boy Brady and the Pats went 18-1 and joined the ranks of the 1984 49ers and the 1985 Chicago Bears, both of whom went 18-1. But the Niners and Bears actually won their respective Super Bowls.
For the record, I didn't want to see the Patriots go undefeated because, well, I thoroughly dislike the Patriots. I was almost as happy to see them lose as I was when the Broncos won their first Super Bowl in 1997. I was passionate about that almost-undefeated season for a reason. I remember after about week 11 or 12 during that season looking forward to the next Patriots game to see if there was a team willing to beat them. That's how I spent the last third of that season – hoping that someone would beat the Patriots.
So here it is going into Week 13 of this NFL season, and I am already living week-to-week hoping that someone will finally beat Rodgers and the cheese-head nation. I guess it started just before Thanksgiving when the Packers traveled to Detroit for the NFC North showdown. That didn't go well, and the Packers embarrassed the Lions 27-15. I thought Detroit had a chance but with Ndamukong Suh acting like a clown, it wasn't to be.
So I thought maybe it would be the Giants this last weekend. I mean, after all it was the Giants who took down the Patriots in the Super Bowl to wreck their perfection. It was also the Giants in 1998 that wrecked John Elway and the Broncos' perfect season in Week 14. And while they put up the best fight the Packers have faced so far this season, the Giants were unsuccessful at taking the Packers down losing by a 38-35 score.
So maybe next weekend when the Packers play host to the Raiders? Well, if the Packers win that game they give the Broncos a chance to take over first place in the AFC West. Go Packers in that tilt. After that, Green Bay will face Kansas City, Chicago and then Detroit once again to close out the regular season. Of those games, I guess the best opportunity will come when Green Bay plays Detroit. Without Jay Cutler, Chicago doesn't stand a chance, and with Kyle "neckbeard" Orton at the helm in Kansas City, they don't stand a chance either.
I guess we can only hope that Green Bay wants to keep Rodgers healthy the last game of the season and benches him until the playoffs. Otherwise, this Green Bay team may be the next '72 Miami Dolphins, and that will suck. Why? Well, I like the bragging rights just as it is now. Every now and then you'll hear a peep from one of the surviving members of that Dolphins team, and that's good enough. If the Packers were to do the same thing, it will be a long time coming before someone else can join that club. It will give Green Bay long-term bragging rights that I won't be able to handle. I'm tired of Green Bay's bragging after last year's Super Bowl win.
Lastly, I would like to see Green Bay lose a game because, well, they are the only story in the NFL that's actually bigger than Tim Tebow and the Broncos. And as a rabid Broncos fan I am thoroughly enjoying the attention Tebow is bringing to Denver. Tebow shouldn't have to share a spotlight with Aaron Rodgers. Tebow is The Chosen One. Rodgers is not. Down with the Packers, up with the Tebows.

This function sometimes just fails to work for no appearent reason, returning FALSE and not creating a symlink. Doing the same with exec('ln -s source dest') works perfectly. I recommend using the latter.
symlink — Cria um link simbólico
, string
symlink() cria um link simbólico do
alvo existente com o nome especificado em
Alvo do link.
O nome do link.
TRUE em caso de sucesso ou
FALSE em caso de falha.
Nota: esta função não é implementada na plataforma Windows
This function sometimes just fails to work for no appearent reason, returning FALSE and not creating a symlink. Doing the same with exec('ln -s source dest') works perfectly. I recommend using the latter.
On IIS (Internet Information Services), you need to set permissions to allow the creation of symbolic links.
Go to Local Security Policy -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment and right click on Create symbolic links -> Properties -> Add User or Group and add the "IUSR" user, which should be the user associated with IIS.
A restart may be required.
If this doesn't work, go to IIS Manager -> Authentication -> select Anonymous Authentication -> Edit and enter your current logged in user, which should be an administrator.
Hit OK and now the symlink() function in php should work fine.
Here is a simple way to control who downloads your files...
You will have to set: $filename, $downloaddir, $safedir and $downloadURL.
Basically $filename is the name of a file, $downloaddir is any dir on your server, $safedir is a dir that is not accessible by a browser that contains a file named $filename and $downloadURL is the URL equivalent of your $downloaddir.
The way this works is when a user wants to download a file, a randomly named dir is created in the $downloaddir, and a symbolic link is created to the file being requested. The browser is then redirected to the new link and the download begins.
The code also deletes any past symbolic links created by any past users before creating one for itself. This in effect leaves only one symbolic link at a time and prevents past users from downloading the file again without going through this script. There appears to be no problem if a symbolic link is deleted while another person is downloading from that link.
This is not too great if not many people download the file since the symbolic link will not be deleted until another person downloads the same file.
Anyway enjoy:
$letters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
srand((double) microtime() * 1000000);
$string = '';
for ($i = 1; $i <= rand(4,12); $i++) {
$q = rand(1,24);
$string = $string . $letters[$q];
$handle = opendir($downloaddir);
while ($dir = readdir($handle)) {
if (is_dir($downloaddir . $dir)){
if ($dir != "." && $dir != ".."){
@unlink($downloaddir . $dir . "/" . $filename);
@rmdir($downloaddir . $dir);
mkdir($downloaddir . $string, 0777);
symlink($safedir . $filename, $downloaddir . $string . "/" . $filename);
Header("Location: " . $downloadURL . $string . "/" . $filename);
Um, duh... that's all I gotta say about by previous note. Please delete it. :)
Windows Vista has its own symlink program now (mklink). Hopefully future versions of PHP for Windows will have this function put it?
Anyway, this will work on Vista (assuming your PHP user has the proper permissions):
define('SYMLINK_FILE', 0);
define('SYMLINK_DIR', 1);
define('SYMLINK_JUNCTION', 2);
function symlink ($target, $link, $flag = SYMLINK_FILE) {
switch ($flag) {
case SYMLINK_DIR: $pswitch = '/d'; break;
case SYMLINK_JUNCTION: $pswitch = '/j'; break;
case SYMLINK_FILE:
default: $pswitch = ''; break;
// Change / to \ because it will break otherwise.
$target = str_replace('/', '\\', $target);
$link = str_replace('/', '\\', $link);
return exec('mklink ' . $pswitch . ' "' . $link . '" "' . $target . '"');
Olszewski_marek makes a good suggestion, but the readfile() function can also be used to obscure file downloads from end users.
/* Setup the file that will be sent */
$downloadDir = "some/secret/directory/";
$file = "theFileName.dat";
/* Required for IE, otherwise Content-disposition is ignored */
if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
/* Output HTTP headers that force "Save As" dialog */
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false);
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\\"$file\\";");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".@filesize($downloadDir.$file));
/* Prevent the script from timing out for large files */
/* Send the entire file using @ to ignore all errors */
/* Exit immediately so no garbage follows the file contents */
To make your code portable on unix AND win32, do the following
1. Download http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/linkd.zip
2. Unzip, put linkd.exe in C:\Windows\System32 or C:\WINNT\System32
3. Include in your code the following
function _syslink($t /*target*/ ,$l /*link*/ ) {
if ($_SERVER["WINDIR"]) {
exec("linkd ".$p.$t." ".$p.$l);
} else syslink($t,$l);
function _unlink($l /*link*/ ) {
if ($_SERVER["WINDIR"]) {
exec("linkd ".$p.$l." /D");
} else unlink($l);
4. Enjoy
_symlink(TARGET,LINK) works like symlink() on *nix
_unlink(LINK) to delete properly the link created
Symlinks on windows are created by Symlink() which accept only absolute paths but not relative paths .relative paths on windows are not supported for symlinks
* A function to emulate symbolic links on Windows.
* Uses the junction utility available at:
* http://www.sysinternals.com
* Note that this will only work on NTFS volumes.
* The syntax of the junction utility is:
* junction <junction directory> <junction target>
* Note that the parameter order of the Junction command
* is the reverse of the symlink function!
* @param string $target
* @param string $link
function _symlink( $target, $link ) {
if ($_SERVER['WINDIR'] || $_SERVER['windir']) {
exec('junction "' . $link . '" "' . $target . '"');
} else {
function _unlink($link ) {
if ($_SERVER['WINDIR'] || $_SERVER['windir']) {
exec('junction -d "' . $link . '"');
} else {
Keep in mind when using a shared filesystem such as NFS, that you probably don't want to create a symbolic link with absolute paths e.g.
On Server1 you are running a PHP script that needs to create a symbolic link called widget2 which links to widget1 inside an NFS share mounted on your localhost at /mnt/nfs/widgets
On Server2 this same NFS share is mounted under /usr/local/widgets
If you used absolute paths on Server1, then Server2 would try to reference /mnt/nfs/widgets/widget1 which it won't be able to find...
You need to cd into the directory first, then create the link - that way the link will be relative. Unless you run the PHP script from the same directory where you'll be creating the symbolic links, then you can't use symlink(). Use exec() instead as follows:
exec("cd <nfs mount path>; ln -s <target> <link_name>");
The one difference to using symlinks for controlled file access vs. readfile() is that the HTTP server will handle content-type of the symlink automatically.
If you always want it to be downloaded, this can be a negative point. However, if you want a file of non-predefined type to be viewable in the browser, this can be a real asset.
Of course, you can use fileinfo/mime-magic to do that, but those require a module which isn't always available on shared hosting.
Olszewski seems pretty good, but just to boost the security a bit, the fifth line of his script should read
$q = rand(1,26);
instead of rand(1,24).
Olszewski's method of creating downloadable links on the fly is pretty good.
I use a different technique under Apache where if you want a file, you might use a url like:
But in fact Apache redirects this to a script with a url like:
(The browser address bar will still show the first url).
The script downloadfile.php can then handle all the mucky stuff like checking session variables to see if someone is logged on, whether they have access to mysecretfile.doc, and if you want to encrypt before download.
An advantage of this is that the php code to achieve the equivalent of Olszewski's is shorter, so might execute faster. But more importantly, a casual hacker might think all he has to do is find myverysecurefile.doc under the /home/user/public_html/files/mysecretfile.doc, or copy the url - but there's nothing there! He won't find it or get an Apache error page.
Remember to use absolute paths in both $target and $link.
Use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] plus your desired paths.
On Linux with PHP 5.4.5 i run into a strange Problem when creating a symlink. My script tests with is_link() and is_file() for a symlink and if its not exists, creating this with symlink. So far no problems. But if i manual delete this symlink and this script runs short after, the script does not found the symlink as aspected. But the script fails when creating the symlink with: "symlink(): File exists"
if(is_link($symfile) and is_file($symfile)) echo 'yah!';
else symlink($orginalfile, $symfile); // error :(
clearstatcache() does not work, as aspected, because is_link/is_file already works.
But I figured out a short workaround with using rename:
if(is_link($symfile) and is_file($symfile)) echo 'yah!';
$randfile = 'anywhere_with_rights/random_name';
symlink($orginalfile, $randfile);
rename($randfile, $symfile);
// voilà ... no error

WILLIAMSON COUNTY -- Williamson County homeowners could face unexpected foreclosure and those looking to buy or sell a home could face hidden headaches.
That was the warning Friday night from the Williamson County Clerk's Office after an audit turned up some serious red flags.
After hearing of similar problems around the country, Williamson County hired DK Consultants out of San Antonio to conduct a property records audit. What they found is nearly $1 million that has been lost because of errors in the national electronic registry, meaning homeowners or people looking to buy are at risk.
"As a clerk, our duty is to maintain good records for our citizens," said County Clerk Nancy Rister.
However, in Rister's 14 years with the county, she said she's never dealt with anything like this.
"Many homeowners will never experience a problem, there will be some that will. There will be some that will be foreclosed upon and they've been making all their payments," she said.
Rister said the county discovered, through a property records audit, that ownership documents in the Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS) are now in question.
"They've not recorded millions and millions of documents," she said.
Rister estimates that over 60,000 documents have not been recorded since 2003 in Williamson County alone.
"When you sat at your closing and you signed off on that deed, and you signed that deed of trust because you took a mortgage and the original lender, you signed the note on that too. And then before you even probably left or got the keys to that house and moved in, that note had been sold," Rister explained. "And you got a notice 'send your mortgage payment to this company now instead of this bank' and that happens over and over again. They didn't record all of those different assignments to all those different mortgage companies that they've now sold it to."
In a statement release Friday, MERS wrote:
"There is no merit to the allegations from the Williamson County Clerk's Office. All MERS mortgages are registered in the local land records and all recording fees are properly paid by the lender at the time of recording. Our business model is straightforward and transparent, and MERS' role is clearly spelled out in the contract between the borrower and the lender."
But Rister said someone has to be held accountable for this massive error.
"As a clerk there's not a lot that I could do." Rister said. "This is something that goes to a higher level - prosecutors, the AG's office."
DK Consultants will present the 160-page report on Tuesday morning at the Williamson County Commissioner's court meeting.
Rister advises all homeowners to look up their own records online.
Check your mortgage (Courtesy: Austin Amerian Statesman)
To find out if MERS is tracking your loan, call your mortgage servicer. Or you can do an online search for your deed of trust at http://deed.co.travis.tx.us. On the left of that Web page, click on 'Search Official Public Records.' List your name under 'Grantor,' and for document type, click 'deed of trust.'
Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir suggests that if your loan is in the MERS registry, you should get in touch with MERS and collect as much information as possible about who owns the loan. That information could help if you have to hire an attorney.
For Williamson County: click here and you will be directed to the Williamson County Clerk public records page where you can find public access.

Smuxi is an irssi-inspired, flexible, user-friendly, and cross-platform IRC client for sophisticated users. Smuxi is based on the client-server model: The core application (engine) can be placed onto a server which is connected to the Internet around-the-clock; one or more frontends then connect to the core. This allows the connection to IRC to be kept up even when all frontends have been closed. The combination of screen and irssi served as the example for this architecture. Smuxi also supports the regular single application mode. This behaves like a typical IRC client; it doesn't need separate core management and utilizes a local engine that is used by the local frontend client.

There have been several famous ducks over the years.The Walt Disney Company has "Donald Duck," his girlfriend, "Daisy," and his extended family, which includes nephews, "Huey, Dewey and Louie," and uncle, "Scrooge McDuck." Rival studio, Warner Brothers, has "Daffy Duck." Meanwhile, Clayton State University has been recognized by U.S. News and World Report as the South's most diverse baccalaureate college several times in recent years. But the diversity on the university's Morrow campus is not limited to different human ethnicities. The university is also the home of several ducks, swans and Canada geese, who live out their lives and raise their young amongst the more than 6,000 students who attend Clayton State. But these waterfowl are not like "Howard the Duck." They do not promote an insurance company like the "Aflac Duck," either. The feathered residents of Clayton State can be found near the lakes and ponds, which are spread out across the campus, but many of these fowl can be found in, or near, the university's Swan Lake. In the morning hours, mama ducks can be seen leading their ducklings around the banks of Swan Lake in search of food. The ducklings can also be found wandering near their mothers - but never straying too far away - as they explore their surroundings. - Curt Yeomans

((((huge hugs)))
My WH used to say (in the beginning) that he was just wondering *where* they LIVED (WHY??!)...that he was 'just curious' & 'just making conversation'.
Oh, yeah, right!
Once, when we were seperated 1800 miles during our M for an entire year, I caught him actually trying to find a JOB close by Dayton, OH which would entail him staying at a Holiday Inn ALL WEEK.
Of course, he also had found out that the cute young blonde "secretary" online also *lived* there in Dayton.
Know what was so funny-tragic about all of this?!
"She" was really ME posting a FAKE profile with a FAKE photo!
Dumb ass! UGGGG
I've been through the gammot of emotions the last several days. We are committed to reconciling. Both of us! I installed Safe Eyes on the computer, at his request.
Here's my question of the day. I have some questions for him that I do not want to ask him for fear of the answer. The answers to the ones I already asked were appalling and I don't know if I can handle any more. I want to ask if he saw a picture of her and if he was attracted to her physically (I, of course, want him to say no, so if he says yes I'll be devastated). he also mentioned that SHE had done cybersex in another relationship...so there's the other question...but I don't want to ask it, either.
My emotions keep going everywhere...back and forth, back and forth. One minute I'm hopeful, especially since he is repentant, and the next I'm so angry and hurt.
Me-44 BS
Him-44 WS
Married 18 yrs
Dday 8/25/07
two yr EA (maybe longer, maybe w/ more than one)
4 Kids 15,13,8,8
Its been almost 2 years and I'm not ready to listen/read all his filthy "loving" "hottt" chat logs...but, one day I'll know its time-- & I will.
However, my gut already *knows*...
These are all still things she denies, she is a great role player and has done theatre work in the past. It's almost as if the boudnaries between real life and characters are blurred for her and emotion no longer comes into anymore, that they're not something real. She's angry with me for downloading the transcript of the Skype messages, says she feels violated but within the same breath says it's no big deal and not what i think! I sent her a transcript by email straight after we fell out last week, where she admits to him when she got the pictures of him(one face, one bulging crotch ). Unfortunately she didn't pick that up until the second anniversary of her mums death, so once again I'm the evil vindictive one, not her and her lies. I regret that she received it then , but why should I be the only one hurting right now whilst she still contacts him through SMS!
I'm convinced that our marriage is over, after the lies can I ever feel anything for this woman, but bizarrely I still love her and feel that just maybe she's sick and needs help, that it would be wrong to desert her at this time. Then I return to bitterness and think no, she may see my failings to deliver some of what she wanted from our marriage as good reason, but they do not excuse what she has done, it was her choice to embark on the OEA and those things she wanted are further away than ever.She just pissed with me because I caught her, so its every reason why her actions are right and that's all she see's.Despite the lies she's also told me that he's talked of moving over to the UK to be with her,and then told me she knwo nothing about him(age/image). She is truly lost in a sea of lies, and I see nothing but separation on the horizon(we've not been married a year so D is not possible until Aug at the earliest)
I've said elsewhere it would be easier to cope with if I'd found her in bed with OM.That you can do this to a partner whilst they're in the same room, secretly telling someone how much you miss being with them when the real partner is getting on with real life behind you. It's sickening, and in the last month I've been through a lot, like everybody who finds their way here unfortunately, we are all suffering. Firstly denial that it had happend at all. Hurt as I read the details and hours they spent on line together, Self loathing as I looked for that which I must have done wrong to cause this. Acceptance that this was real and she has no remorse("Can't be an affair we haven't had sex!" she told me amongst the lies). and finally realisation that our marriage is over, and I'm mourning the loss of that now. She isn't back from work until the end of February and I'm honouring the commitments to look after her house until then but once she's back I'm giving her the keys and wishing her well. She's accussed me of holding her back, that she's had her life on hold whilst I sorted a new job then we could move. Well she started her A at the same time I got the new job, and I'm glad we didn't buy another house(our home!)with this lying POS. She can now move in with mr wonderful OM and once the reality of dirty washing and shopping hits home again she'll be off again I'm sure.
Sorry I've turned this into a rant again, I drift between being positive and tolerant to pure hate. Again I'm these are common feelings amongst the betrayed, none of us deserve to be here feeling like we do.We just have to be strong, and weather the emotional storms, we will all get through them with the support of others here, and those true close and friends.
"To love is to suffer" - Terry Pratchett(in Mort)
My H has a long history of porn sites, aol chat and married dating sites. And for many years I never delved into how deep he was into it. I still don't understand myself about how I minmized what was happening, but I guess I didn't want to truly deal. I had 2 little girls when this started and I didn't want to face what I've been facing now that 'some' is out in the open. The 'some' is enough for anyone with self respect to leave for....I'm planning to D now, thank God.
One thing I wanted to share with you is after years of suspicion and ignoring and H gaslighting all the way, I had an A. And when the words guilt or remorse are mentioned from H about me having an A, I feel none. It was the way I chose to feel wanted. So sad to say that, but it's true.
My H chose a computer over me (and our girls) for so many years. But since he is a passive/aggresive it was all done eerily innocently. I can't explain what I mean by that. Only someone who lives with a cyber scumbag can know the frightening slow insanity you live in.
Even after learning of my A, even after being caught multiple times, he still continued online...AFF, aol, IMs, match.com, more porn than you can imagine, TEN private emails/IM accounts. And everybody who knows us thinks he's so meek and so in love with me.
I believe now that being married to and trying to R with a cyber addict is useless. I pity him only now. I cannot wait to be free of this.
Feel free to PM me if you'd like to share. It's hard for my friends and family to understand what this has been like.

"Surviving is important....Thriving is elegant"
You're not an idiot -- just an optimist like me! It's hard when you're wired to want to believe the best in someone no matter what evidence we're handed to the contrary.
Sounds like the writing is on the wall (or in the text message!!) and now it's up to you to determine whether you want to continue to live like this or create a life for yourself in which you're not always wondering if/when/how/where. It's certainly not too much to expect a partner who treats us with dignity and respect -- and doesn't retreat into meaningless sex the minute the going gets a bit tough with us.
Hang in there...and take care of yourself.
Life truly sucks.
Thinking about how brazenly she did this with me in the house(even on Xmas day through messaging) sickens me now. It was out of hand she'd always spent a lot of time with online communities since we met and I never felt this compromised our relationship, but WoW changed that as she became addicted. I wish I'd being more forthright about this when I felt it was too much, but she enjoyed the game and I didn't want to stop her doing things she liked, but ultimately it is going to cost me the one I love the most. and that really hurts, I damned either way.If i'd stopped her she would have resented me for being controlling, and by letting her play, she found an online partner. Life sucks!
My partner has just recently come out of a RL affair ... although that started via chat rooms, progessed to MSN, then texts, then phone calls then pysical for 6 months.
D-Day was August 2007 and he moved out a few weeks later claiming we needed "space" ... a.k.a "i wanna see where the relationship with OW goes"
She dumped him in October, he came back, she wanted him again, so he moved out again although daily told me he still loved me and we were in counselling.
January 2008 admits yet again that he had been in contact with OW (texts, chatrooms but no meeting) but that she finally told him she didnt want him, didnt love him and she had been seeing someone else off chatrooms for months!!
He is now having withdrawal from OW and we are still living seperately but trying to R.
He gave me his passwords to MSN and this week curiosity got the better of me and i looked .... 2 new women added to his MSN.
Both from chatrooms. Initially he is angry because ive dared to spy on him and goes mad for me thinking he is upto something. Doesnt understand why i have a problem with him only talking to females (errrr cause your last chatroom friend you had pysical affair with ????)
He is swearing they are only "friends" and that he isnt looking for someone else or intending on meeting them but he finds it easier to talk to women about his problems ..... (oh so you send them your photo for what reason ??)
Anyway - admits today that he is wrong and that he shouldnt do it, had deleted them off his MSN, swears he wont go in the chatrooms again (1 chatroom on computer and 1 on mobile phone).
Do i believe him ? NO !!!
caught stbxw posting odd photos and deleting history and temp files, basically being all sneaky and acting distant.
put a keylogger on computer and found dozens of lovey/flirtatious messages in one day. checked phone records and found tons of calls. she has denied it, says its not real, says its not a big deal, and has been harsh and cruel to me to "be a man", "get it together", and "quit wallowing in self pity."
she has shown no remorse and no indication of R, other than a brief 24 hour period, which she quickly went back on.
have given her several chances to sign papers, no go. i am going to cancel her cell phone and have her served on tuesday.

Do You Have What It Takes to be One of the
Most Interesting People in Maryland?
- Comptroller's Unclaimed Property Staff Visit Festivals Statewide this Summer -
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (July 1, 2013) – The Most Interesting Man in Maryland, Comptroller Peter Franchot, wants to share the spotlight with lucky taxpayers who are on his agency's list unclaimed property accounts. Agency staff will travel the state to various fairs and festivals all summer long and into the fall, to help reunite one million Marylanders with more than $980 million in unclaimed property.
"Summer is the time to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells at the local fairs and festivals and finding money you never knew you had would make the experience even better," said Comptroller Franchot. "My agency is committed to traveling across the state to reach Marylanders who have unclaimed property," he added.
By law, financial institutions, utilities, insurance companies and other businesses are required to notify the Comptroller of any property that has gone unclaimed, or without activity, for more than three years. Account types include: bank accounts, security deposits, wages and insurance benefits and contents of safe deposit boxes. Real estate is not included. The Comptroller's Office holds these unclaimed property accounts in perpetuity for their owners or their heir to claim at any time.
In 2012, the agency visited eight community events around the state and returned nearly $369,000 to unsuspecting owners. "Last August, at the Maryland State Fair, one lucky person discovered nearly $72,000 in unclaimed property. But if you don't check the list, you'll never know if that could be you," said Comptroller Franchot.
In addition to attending various local events, the agency makes use of several avenues to reach Marylanders throughout the year including publishing a newspaper insert, matching files with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and state Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) records. The state of Maryland does not charge a fee for returning your property.
The Comptroller's Office honored nearly 54,000 claims totaling more than $54.3 million in fiscal year 2012, which ended on June 30, 2012. More than $261 million has been returned to nearly 260,000 owners since January 2007.
The agency's complete list of accounts is always available, for free, online at www.marylandtaxes.com orwww.missingmoney.com.

Summary of Three Tales Summary of Three Tales Reviews for Three Tales An Excerpt from Three Tales
In a vibrant new translation, these three diverse works are a triumphant conclusion to Flaubert's creative life
First published in 1877, these three stories are dominated by questions of doubt, love, loneliness, and religious experiencetogether they confirm Flaubert as a master of the short story. A Simple Heart relates the story of Félicité, an uneducated serving-woman who retains her Catholic faith despite a life of desolation and loss. The Legend of Saint Julian Hospitator, inspired by a stained-glass window in Rouen cathedral, describes the fate of a sadistic hunter destined to murder his own parents. The blend of faith and cruelty that dominates this story may also be found in Herodias, a reworking of the tale of Salome and John the Baptist.

A vigil was held Wednesday night on the USI campus to remember Adrien Mowery, the student found dead of natural causes inside his car last week.
14 News has learned that Adrien Mowery had overcome a lot of obstacles to go back to school.
Adrien was born with a rare heart disease and in 2006 he had a heart transplant. Because of his health, he couldn't always attend class.
"Whenever you're on a campus of 10,000 students, it's easy to believe the lie that you're just a number, that you're just one of 10,000. No, every single student here is important," said student Erin Gillingham. "Every, all 10,000 of us are important, collectively, and by ourselves and we want to make sure if we lost a student, we want to make sure we take a moment to remember that student."
Adrien's sister also talked about the importance of organ donation. She says without Adrien's new heart she would have lost him six years ago.

HARRISONBURG, Va. - James Madison University has hired Loren Messick as an assistant softball
coach, Head Coach Mickey Dean announced. Her appointment is effective immediately.
She spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach at Radford University under JMU's new head coach Dean, including serving as the recruiting coordinator this past season. During her time at Radford, Messick assisted Dean in leading the Highlanders to a 110-59 overall record, a 48-9 Big South Conference record and three consecutive Big South Conference Regular Seasons. During her tenure, Dean also was named the Big South Coach of the Year all three years, with him crediting his entire staff for the award. She was also a part of the 2010 Big South Tournament title and NCAA Regional Appearance, where RU picked up a pair of wins, including one over No. 24 Florida State, and finished as runner-up in the Regional.
Messick, a former Roanoke College standout, joined Radford after spending the 2009 season as an assistant coach at her alma mater. She made a successful transition from player to coach, serving as the Maroons' infield instructor and helping them to a 24-11 overall and 12-6 ODAC (Old Dominion Athletic Conference) record.
As a player, Messick enjoyed a highly successful four-year
career in a Maroon form. The four-time First Team All-ODAC shortstop left
Roanoke ranked in the top ten in sacrifice hits (2nd, 41), batting
(5th, .383), assists (5th, 233), hits (7th,
180) and runs (7th, 135). A mainstay in the starting lineup, Messick
was a key factor in Roanoke winning a pair of ODAC championships (2005 &
2006) and earning NCAA regional bids both seasons, reaching the finals in 2006.
The Maroons, who finished ranked 21st nationally in 2005 and 2006, posted an
impressive 118-38 overall and 57-15 conference record during Messick's
four-year career.
Messick has also served as an assistant coach with a pair of Virginia summer-club teams; the 2009 U-23 Renegades and the 2007 U-16 Northern Neck Rage.

A contingent of Carlson School undergraduate students recently attended LeaderShape, an intensive, six- day leadership development program that was held west of the Twin Cities at Camp Ihduhapi. The national program, which incorporates individual work, group work, and reflection, helps college-age youth sharpen their vision of how they would like to see positive change in their community and world.
This year's program, sponsored by Target Corp., Eaton Corp., and ADC Telecommunications, drew a total of 50 undergraduate students from the Carlson School and the University's College of Science and Engineering. It was the third year that Carlson School undergraduates have attended a LeaderShape program.
"Simply put, the experience was foundation-shaking," says Carlson School student Vall Ajgaonkar, BSB '13. "I feel as though I matured more in the six days of Leadershape than I did in the previous six months. I am now committed to being the very best version of myself. I've already started to put some of the ideas into practice by reminding myself of my dream, and remembering that I can achieve anything if I only try."
Fellow Carlson School student Jonathan Van Keulen saw Leadershape as opportunity to immerse himself in a community of leaders who had different visions and varied perspectives.
"It was inspiring and invigorating to get to know and understand all of these leaders, and to use them to better understand myself," says Van Keulen, BSB '13. "I feel like a changed person after my Leadershape experience. I have definitely found myself looking at mistakes in a much different way. Rather than looking at them as obstacles or stupid errors, I am able to say 'Fascinating!' and treat it as a new opportunity."

KPCC vs. The Sun: Solar flares, cosmic rays, and a chat with the director of the Griffith Observatory
Photo by Objetpetitm via Flickr Creative Commons
Mar. 7, 2012 - Finland, Aurora Borealis
An angry sun is a vengeful sun, and based on the attention given to the solar flare that stormed Earth today, we wondered if somehow we'd upset the giant Lite-Brite in the sky.
Of course not, says longtime director of the Griffith Observatory, Dr. Edwin Krupp. This has been going on for a while, he said, noting that the sun has been around about four and half billion years. Solar activity, he explained, runs in 11 year cycles (solar activity is expected to peak in the current cycle around 2013), and people have been counting the spots on the sun for thousands of years.
The solar telescope at Griffith Observatory has been tracking the activity, Dr. Krupp told KPCC, but as far as viewing goes, this particular group has slipped to the side because of the rotation of the sun.
We asked Dr. Krupp if the museum's cloud and spark chambers — two on-site instruments measuring the bombardment of Earth by cosmic rays — would be seeing an increase in activity following an event like this.

Loan Overview
- What is a loan?
A loan is money you borrow to buy or pay for something that you could not afford to pay for upfront. You are assuming that over time you will be able to pay the money back. You will also owe interest on the loan, which is calculated by the agreed upon interest rate. The terms of the interest rate will be explained to you at the time you borrow the money.
- What kinds of student loans are there?
Broadly speaking, there are two types of student loans -- federal direct loans and private loans. Under the Federal Loan umbrella, there are different loan programs. These programs are known by names such as Direct Stafford, Perkins, and PLUS. Private loans are not handled by the government, and do not adhere to government-set interest rates or terms.
- What is interest?
Interest is the amount you have to pay to borrow money. When you take out a loan, you will owe interest plus the original amount of the loan itself. The amount of interest owed is determined by the interest rate. The interest rate may be fixed, which means it does not change over time; or it may be variable, which means it fluctuates.
- What is the difference between interest and principal?
Interest is the amount you must pay in addition to the original amount of the loan. This original amount is known as the principal.
- How do I apply for federal loans?
You need to complete the FAFSA to be considered for federal loans, such as the Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loans. You should also complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN). The FAFSA can be found at: www.fafsa.gov The federal website for Direct Loans can be found at: www.studentloans.gov
- Do I have to accept the student loan on my Award Letter?
No, you do not. If you do not want the student loan on your award letter, you do not have to accept it. Also, if you do not want the full amount of the loan on your award letter, you can work with the Financial Aid Office to borrow a smaller amount. Remember, be prudent about how much you borrow. Borrow only what you need to attend school.
- If I accept my Federal Direct loan award, how will this affect other forms of student aid?
Accepting a Federal Direct Subsidized and/or Unsubsidized Loan that is included in your financial aid award package should not affect other types of aid you have been awarded.
- What happens to my Stafford loan if I do not attend college at least half-time?
What happens to my Stafford Loans if I do not attend college at least 1/2 time? The government pays the interest on a Subsidized Stafford loan as long as you are enrolled in school at least half-time. If you drop below half time status, your six-month grace period will begin. During the grace period, you will not have to make loan payments. Beginning July 1, 2012 the government will no longer pay the interest on subsidized Stafford loans during your grace period, and interest will begin to accrue once you fall below half time enrollment status. If you resume to over half-time enrollment status within the six month grace period window, your grace period will be reset to six months to begin the next time you fall below a half time status. If you do not resume at least half-time during this period, your loan will go into repayment at the end of the six month grace period. It is important to check the enrollment status requirements at your school to be certain you are enrolled at least half-time.
- If I have already completed a Direct Loan MPN for another school, do I need to complete another one?
No, if you currently have a valid Direct Loan MPN on file, you do not need to complete a new MPN. To retrieve a copy of your MPN, go to studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan

I have a Noritz gas tankless water heater. I'm wanting to put in a recirculation pump so we have fast hot water throughout my home. It looks like there are 3 methods and I'm not sure what the pros and cons are of each.
1st Method: My plumber told me an easy way is to use a pump under the farthest sink and connect the hot and cold water lines there. For this method I would have to use a button, motion detection, etc. I'm not sure I would like to have to activate the pump every time I need it.
2nd Method: This method is called out in the Noritz instruction manual and utilizes a hot water return line. The hot water return line would start at the furthest point on my hot water system and tie back into the Cold water line but not under the sink like Method #1. This system would use a pump, 8-10 gallon storage tank, auquastat etc.
3rd Method: This method is similar to the 2nd method. It would also use a hot water return line starting at the furthest point in my hot water system but it instead ties back to the hot water system. Basically, the hot water line would come from the tankless gas water heater to an electric 2-6 gallon water heater then to the various outlets, then to the pump. After the pump the hot water would tie back into the hot water pipe just before the electric tank. This method would be a hot water loop only and not tie back to the cold water line like the 1st two methods.
I would like to control the system I go with using my home automation system. I can by a regular 110V home automation outlet and control it that way. ie. turn off when the house alarm is armed away and between 12AM and 5AM, etc.
What are the pros and cons of each method? I only have one shot at this so I want to install the most optimum system for my home.
Thanks for your help!

Al Haymon's got another new client, and it's welterweight contender Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero.
Robert Guerrero tells us what he has been doing lately and gives his insight into a potential Floyd Mayweather - Amir Khan fight.
Manny Pacquiao should have an opponent named soon, but it won't be Robert Guerrero or Yuriorkis Gamboa, which isn't really news, but look, a story about it!
Robert Guerrero is looking to break ties with Golden Boy Promotions, which Richard Schaefer says has blindsided him and his company.
Showtime Sports had their biggest boxing year in recent memory, and though the downfall of their rivals at HBO has been greatly exaggerated, there's no arguing that for the first time in years, there's a genuine competition between the two networks.
Floyd Mayweather Sr says that while Manny Pacquiao did a good job this past Saturday, he did that job against an opponent who couldn't do anything, and he still needs to prove more to fight Floyd Mayweather.
Despite some rumors floating about, there is no truth to a proposed Amir Khan-Robert Guerrero fight according to Guerrero's manager. Nevertheless, he says that they would gladly accept a fight with Khan if it were offered.
Relive Floyd Mayweather's triumphs over Miguel Cotto and Robert Guerrero as you get amped up for Mayweather-Canelo on Saturday night.
Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer said recently that he'd like to put together a November 2 fight between Keith Thurman and Robert Guerrero. Thurman is ready to go.
Golden Boy has decided to try and put together 16,000 significant cards in the last 24 hours or so, with Richard Schaefer targeting a November 2 fight between Robert Guerrero and Keith Thurman.

The Tumi Difference
Add-a-bag system
Quickly and easily add another travel piece or business case using our patented Add-A-Bag hook with secure fastened tab closure that holds in excess of 200 pounds. Also, many Tumi business cases and totes feature a back sleeve that slips over extended luggage handles allowing you to stack and carry heavier bags on your wheeled luggage. Used together, these features allow travelers to effortlessly carry two or three items at the same time with one hand.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
Removable Laptop Cover
Our removable laptop cover offers protection for your laptop and convenient carrying options. It can be carried on its own and slips easily into most travel bags, totes and business cases.
This item has a pocket or compartment that is designed to hold eReaders including the iPad, Kindle and Nook.
