Textbook Rental is simple! Now at your campus bookstore, you can rent the textbooks you need for the semester, then return them at the end of the term.
Renting textbooks saves you on average 50% when compared to a new, printed textbook.
Most forms of payment currently accepted at the bookstore can also be used for rentals. We do require a credit card be kept on file, even if you pay with a different method. Why? Just in case you win the lottery and forget to return your book, we'll need to charge you for it (refer to section on Fees).
If the textbook is returned after the due date, or is damaged, we use the credit card on file to pay for a replacement book and non-return processing fee, as described in your Rental Agreement. We want you to bring the book back so we don't have to charge you!
Yes, you can use your financial aid to pay for your Textbook Rental. However, you will still need to keep a credit card on file with us in order to rent a book.
The rental period begins the day you pay for the Textbook Rental and continues until the the last day of Finals, as shown on your Order Confirmation. All rented textbooks must be returned to the bookstore, in good condition, by the Rental Return Due Date. Textbook Rentals returned via mail must be postmarked by the Rental Return Due Date.
Yes! Just use the return shipping label available online. We recommend if you're returning multiple books, to place them in one box so that you only need one shipping label. Depending on store hours, you can also just drop off your books at the bookstore. Please see the link at the bottom of the page to access the rental return shipping label.
Simple! We post the list of Textbook Rentals on the bookstore website and in the bookstore. Plus if you're shopping in the bookstore, look for signs in the book aisle. Online, it's really easy - if we're renting a textbook, the "Rental" option will display in your book list alongside "New" and/or "Used" (if available). Just check the box and follow the instructions.
The drop/add policy for rented books is the same as for purchased books. Return the book to the bookstore within the allowed period along with drop/add documentation. If you return your book via mail, it must be postmarked within the allowed drop/add return period, and must include a copy of the drop/add documentation along with your book.
Yes! The same return policy applies to rented textbooks as to purchased textbooks. Assuming, of course that you have your receipt, and return the textbook in good condition, along with any components such as CDs, etc. that were included with the textbook when you rented it. If you return your book via mail, it must be postmarked within the refund period allowed by your bookstore.
Yes! If you decide you want to keep your rental book, you can opt to buy at any time during your rental period, unless the rental book is identified as a 'Rental Only' title, which is not available for purchase at any time.
Normal use of highlighting and writing is permitted. The bookstore will use the same standards for determining acceptable condition of rental textbooks that it uses for determining condition of books sold back as used books.
Yes, the bookstore can refuse to accept your rental book if it is not returned in good condition. Good condition will be judged by the bookstore alone, and generally means book spine intact, no excessive damage to cover or contents, all original pages intact, all original components present, and no excessive highlighting, writing or other markings. Normal-use highlighting and writing is permitted. If the bookstore determines your book to be not acceptable for return, then you will be charged for a replacement copy and a non-return processing fee.

TV drama reopens debate over Germans' war guilt
With the wartime generation rapidly disappearing, a television drama about five young Germans in World War II has revived debate in Germany about the role ordinary men and women played in the Nazis' murderous campaign to conquer Europe.
Millions tuned in last week to watch the three-part series "Our Mothers, Our Fathers," which follows five young Germans - two brothers, a nurse, an aspiring female singer and a Jewish tailor - as they struggle through one of the bloodiest conflicts in history.
Three of the characters, including the Jew, survive - disillusioned and physically broken - to confront each other and their own demons in the final episode in the ruins of Berlin.
The series begins in 1941, as the Nazis launch their doomed assault on the Soviet Union, with each character slowly realizing that the world they believed in is falling apart. The brothers learn that the German army isn't as noble as they thought; the nurse regrets betraying a Jewish colleague; the singer's liaison with an SS member turns sour; and the Jew has to fight his fellow Germans to survive.
The mixed reactions to the series underscore how, nearly 70 years after World War II, the conflict remains a source of bitterness in Europe, even for people born after the fighting ended.
Many critics have praised the series as a milestone in Germany's troubled reckoning with its past and an overdue examination of individual guilt in the war. But the drama's depiction of Polish resistance fighters as anti-Semites and Russian soldiers raping the German nurse have drawn particularly angry reactions in Eastern Europe, which suffered the most from the slaughter.
In Germany, meanwhile, some accuse the film of sidelining the Holocaust and depicting Germans as victims rather than a nation responsible for starting a war and committing genocide.
"A film about World War II that omits the bothersome question of six million dead Jews," remarked columnist Jennifer Nathalie Pyka in Juedische Allgemeine, Germany's leading Jewish weekly.
Jan Sueselbeck, a researcher at the University of Marburg, said the series reflects wishful thinking rather than historical facts. The drama glosses over Adolf Hitler's rise to power and the outbreak of war by beginning the story in 1941, two years into the European conflict.
"This film depicts Germans once more the way they would like to have been, but in fact the broad masses were never like that," Sueselbeck said.
On Wednesday, Poland's ambassador to Berlin, Jerzy Marganski, slammed the series in a letter sent to German public television station ZDF, which broadcast the 14 million-euro production.
"The image of Poland and the Polish resistance against the German occupiers as conveyed by this series is perceived by most Poles as extremely unjust and offensive," Marganski wrote. "I, too, am shocked."
Among other criticisms, Marganski said viewers learn nothing of the Warsaw uprising, in which up to 200,000 Polish civilians died, nor of the many Poles who helped Jews. Producer Nico Hofmann said the depictions of "the Polish situation .... are based on historically vetted material" and there was no intention to defame the Poles.
The series also includes an improbable ending in which the Jewish character, Viktor, survives the war but his German lover Greta is executed after trying to save him.
The only American shown is a cigar-chomping officer who ignores Viktor's anguished protest against forgiving a former SS member in the post-war West German administration.
Many Germans born after the war remain largely ignorant of what their parents did because, like many combat veterans or survivors, the elders don't want to talk about it.
Hofmann said one of his goals was to encourage a national debate among the generations "to speak for the first time about the experience" of the war. He said the third and final episode drew a 20.5 percent market share among viewers aged 14-59 years, which he described as "extremely high" for ZDF.
A full, dispassionate accounting of German actions during the war never occurred because the Cold War division of Europe forced former enemies on both sides of the Iron Curtain to set aside their differences to confront a new set of rivals.
Until German reunification in October 1990, communist East Germany promoted the notion that Hitler and his fellow Nazis alone were responsible for the war and that Germans who were not Nazi party members were victims, too. Despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, many Germans still believe that ordinary soldiers didn't participate in and were ignorant of the atrocities committed by Hitler's feared SS and SA units.
"Were German soldiers really so brutal?" the mass-circulation daily Bild newspaper asked after one episode showed German soldiers killing civilians in revenge for a partisan attack.
In fact, soldiers killed thousands of civilians throughout the war and assisted death squads in the large-scale extermination of Eastern Europe's Jews. Some 3 million Russian soldiers died in German captivity, while the final stages of the war saw fanatical Hitler loyalists hand out thousands of death sentences to deserting German soldiers and so-called defeatists.
Since the series aired, newspapers and online forums have been filled with comments by descendants of the war generation, with many saying their parents rarely, if ever, spoke of their experiences.
The debate comes at a sensitive time for Germany's army, which broke with the post-war taboo of sending soldiers abroad only around 20 years ago. Today, almost 5,000 German soldiers are serving alongside Americans and British troops in Afghanistan. Others are involved in international missions in Kosovo, Lebanon and Mali.
"I can imagine that in many families where there are survivors there will be conversations," said Jens Wehner, a historian at the German Military Museum in Dresden.
Many families will have already missed the opportunity to do so, because the number of Germans old enough to have participated in the war and still alive today is dwindling fast.
Census records obtained by The Associated Press put the figure at about 1.85 million, of which fewer than 600,000 are men.
About 5.3 million German soldiers were killed in the war. Another 2.5 million German civilians died in the conflict, excluding almost 150,000 German Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
"Soon nobody will be left who experienced (the war)," warned Frank Schirrmacher, publisher of the conservative daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. He praised the series "for the earnestness, the love of detail and the unwillingness to compromise," which allowed it to have "what it takes to touch the soul of the country."
Hofmann said he produced the series partly for his own father, who volunteered to join Hitler's army at 18, nearly died from wounds and to this day won't say if he took part in atrocities.
Tomasz Szarota, a historian and expert on Poland's wartime underground movement, said the film appeared to contain numerous factual inaccuracies. But a bigger problem was that the series reinforces a current German interpretation that compares Germany's suffering to that of its victims, he said.
"There is this wave in Germany now of being able to talk about German suffering," Szarota said. "The Germans were the last victim of the war that they themselves started."

Pope Francis: What Happens After A Papal Election
Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images
As news spread that the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel was billowing white smoke to signal the election of Pope Francis, anticipation built for the new pontiff's first appearance on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica.
Update at 6:45 p.m. ET: The Vatican says Pope Francis will celebrate an installation Mass on Tuesday, March 19, confirming a date we reported earlier as being tentative.
The new pope, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is the successor to Pope Benedict XVI, now known as "pope emeritus." The introduction of Pope Francis represents the end of an electoral process and the start of a new papacy.
Here's a quick rundown of what happens after a papal conclave makes its choice, and how Pope Francis will begin his duties:
- After being informed of his election and accepting the position, the new pope was asked what name he will use. That means that, yes, there are cardinals in Vatican City today who will likely never utter the name they'd picked out — just in case. It's not known if Bergoglio had the answer "Pope Francis" ready back in 2005, when Benedict was elected.
- As word of the new pontiff's election was signaled to the outside world, the new head of Roman Catholicism received a white robe and other vestments. This was done in a chamber known as the "Room of Tears."
- French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the protodeacon, then appeared on the balcony of St. Peter's, where he announced to the thousands gathered below, "Habemus Papam!" or, "We have a Pope!"
- Pope Francis stepped onto the balcony and delivered an apostolic blessing to the crowd, as well as to the world's estimated 1.2 billion Roman Catholics. The cardinals have "chosen one from far away, but here I am," he said.
- The new pope is expected to begin his public duties almost immediately. As Catholic News reported today, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said the new pontiff might recite the Angelus prayer on Sunday, March 17, and celebrate an installation Mass on March 19.
- At the installation Mass, Pope Francis will receive two more papal items: his "fisherman's ring" signet, as well as a pallium, a wool cloak or band worn across the shoulders.

Intel has been releasing information about Haswell, its next-generation CPU architecture, for months now. Our coverage has already been fairly extensive—we've already got a nice overview of Haswell's CPU architecture itself, along with a primer on its brand-new integrated GPUs. All we need to know now is specific product information, and Intel is finally giving us our first official taste of that today.
This morning's announcements revolve around high-end quad-core chips in the Core i7 and Core i5 families, 12 for desktops and 10 for laptops. If you're looking for specific information about U- and Y- series low-voltage chips for Ultrabooks or anything belonging to the Core i3, Pentium, or Celeron families, you'll have to wait a little while longer. We'll be sure to pass that information along as we have it.
What we'll do here is present a high-level recap of the CPU, GPU, and chipset enhancements Intel is introducing in Haswell. After that, we'll break down the specific CPUs that Intel is announcing today and the kinds of systems you're likely to find them in. Note that all of this information is coming directly from Intel—they're not going to out-and-out make things up, but they're definitely going to present their CPUs in the best possible light. We'll be putting all of the below performance claims to the test as we begin to review Haswell-based systems later this summer.
The CPUs: Performance is up a little, power consumption is down a lot
The biggest part of the fourth-generation Core launch is Haswell itself, the new CPU architecture that supersedes last year's Ivy Bridge (which was itself only a modification of 2011's Sandy Bridge). Haswell is a "tock" in Intel's overarching "tick-tock" refresh strategy, meaning that it is a new architecture built on Intel's established 22nm 3D tri-gate manufacturing process. Next year's refresh, code-named Broadwell, will modify the Haswell architecture for manufacture on Intel's forthcoming 14nm process.
David Kanter has already done a deep dive into the particulars of Haswell's architecture, and we won't attempt to duplicate his explanation and analysis here. Like previous architectures, Haswell should increase performance relative to Ivy Bridge while consuming similar or lower levels of power.
This time around, Intel is actually much more interested in telling us about that lowered power consumption, as is evident in the use of phrases like "biggest [generation-to-generation] battery life increase in Intel history." By the company's measurements, a laptop based on Haswell should in some circumstances be able to get as much as a third more battery life than the same laptop based on Ivy Bridge. We'll need to wait for actual systems to bear that supposition out, though. It's entirely possible that OEMs will choose to keep battery life level while reducing the size of the battery (and thus, their devices' weight and thickness) or adding other power-hungry features like high-resolution displays.
Some of these power savings come because Haswell is the first architecture tailored specifically for the 22nm process rather than being designed for a larger process and then shrunk down, as Ivy Bridge was. Others come from improvements that Intel has made it to idle power usage and the amount of power used when switching between those active and idle states. A new "active idle" power state, also dubbed S0ix, allows the system to continue sending and receiving data without powering the CPU and GPU all the way up. This increases the amount the system can do without being "active" and reduces the amount of power needed to switch to a fully active state.
A side effect of Haswell's low-power leanings is that the architecture will find itself in more form factors than ever, from workstations and servers at the top end to Ultrabooks, convertibles, and tablets at the low end. There will even be some overlap with Atom processors, as we've already seen in some Ivy Bridge-based Windows 8 tablets. That area of overlap will only get larger as Atom continues to get faster (see: Bay Trail, due later this year).
Intel has been pushing Ultrabooks and convertibles hard through the life of the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge architectures and expect that push to continue with Haswell—a source at Intel even told Ars that Haswell-powered Android tablets and laptops are in the cards as the company refines its Android strategy.
Of course, most of this information applies to dual-core, Ultrabook-ready CPUs that haven't yet been announced. Given that Ultrabooks and low-power CPUs are a large and growing piece of Intel's pie, we doubt we'll make it past Computex without those CPUs making an appearance as well.
The GPUs: More power, more choices, more potential for confusion
Intel has improved its integrated GPUs by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and Haswell will continue that trend. With this increased power comes increased complexity, though: there are now at least five separate integrated GPUs that will come with Haswell CPUs, up from three in Ivy Bridge.
We've covered all five products in more detail here, but all of them should support the same basic features: Direct3D 11.1, OpenCL 1.2, and OpenGL 4.1 on the API side; DisplayPort 1.2, which should improve support for 4K resolutions; and a faster version of Intel's QuickSync video encoding engine are all among the highlights.
Intel's new "Iris" GPUs are the ones we'll probably hear the most about, though as we'll see in a bit they're certainly not the ones that will ship in the majority of its chips. The Iris 5100 will roughly double the performance of the Intel HD 4000 GPU in most cases, but it will be confined mostly to performance notebooks and larger Ultrabooks because of its 28 watt TDP (ultra-low-voltage Haswell Ultrabook chips will generally have TDPs of 15 watts or less). The Iris Pro 5200 GPU adds 128MB of eDRAM directly to the processor die to boost performance even further—about 2.5 times the Intel HD 4000 in laptops, according to Intel—but those CPUs' even-higher TDP of 47 watts will confine them to larger notebooks. In desktops, the sole announced CPU with the Iris Pro 5200 delivers almost three times better performance than the HD 4000 by Intel's metrics, likely due to the increased thermal headroom available in a desktop's chassis.
The other GPUs, which retain the Intel HD Graphics branding, are less glamorous but remain a reasonable upgrade over the Intel HD 4000. Intel's slides all seem to suggest that the HD 5000 and the HD 4600 GPUs both deliver performance roughly 1.5 times better than the HD 4000. The difference is that the HD 5000 part is destined for as-yet-unannounced 15 watt TDP Ultrabook parts, while the HD 4600 is the mainstream GPU you'll find paired with most of the CPUs being launched today. The differences between the HD 4600, 4400, and 4200, aren't immediately apparent using the information Intel is providing, but we'd guess that the difference may be in features and perhaps maximum clock speeds rather than raw 3D execution resources.
Finally, there's the lowly Intel HD Graphics at the bottom of the slide, about which we know very little. If past is prologue, this will be a basic GPU with most of the extra features (QuickSync, for instance) disabled, and it will ship only in Haswell-based Pentium and Celeron processors. Typically, new architectures don't trickle down into entry-level CPUs until a few months after their introduction, and we expect that to remain true for Haswell.

KSport offers sophisticated bolt-on brake upgrade kits with ProComp packages that require no vehicle modifications to install. If you're looking to thoroughly revamp your brake system with all-new components which provide serious stopping power that doesn't fade under hard use the way OEM equipment does, ProComp kits offer choices tailored for your intended use. No matter which one you select, you'll get the benefits of decades of racetrack experience and engineering from KSport. All brake calipers are cut from one block of aluminum rather than being cast or welded together. This provides perfectly even thicknesses and strength over every part of the caliper block to eliminate weak spots which lead to fracturing, warpage, and failure over time. To build on the weight-reducing characteristics of the calipers, caliper pistons are also made from aluminum and protected with heavy-duty seals designed to handle racetrack temperatures. Better heat transferrance ensures pistons slide smoothly and evenly without drag, and aluminum construction ensures caliper operation remains uncompromised by corrosion over time. Additionally, an opposed-piston design ensures brake pad grip and wear remain consistent on both sides of the rotor.
All rotors are a 2-piece design to provide light weight, fade-free performance on the racetrack, effective grip during street racing and drifting, and comfortable, easy-to-use operation under normal driving conditions. Lightweight center sections crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum give you the benefit of lower rotational mass – making wheels easier to stop, and giving you the instant snap of brake response that's proper for high performance driving. Because the outer section of the 2-piece rotor can expand and contract independently from the center section, chances of the entire rotor warping due to heat buildup are greatly reduced. And since aluminum is a better conductor of heat, the center sections serve as effective heat sinks by passing heat away faster to the air and to the hub assembly. Combined, these two factors give them a much longer service life than traditional 1-piece rotors. For the serious racetrack driver that's mindful of avoiding temperature buildup which causes brake fluid boiling and pedal fade, KSport 13" and 14" rotors are available with a "full floating" design. Such a layout features an outer section designed to shift slightly as needed. Better self-centering in the caliper lowers brake drag and boosts performance through more even application.
Founded in 2003 in Arizona, KSport USA® Suspension Company has risen to prominence by producing high-performance suspension and brake system upgrades that provide winning results without breaking apart or breaking your wallet.

Any criminal charge is a serious matter. The criminal justice system is complex and frightening for people charged with a crime. Although a person charged with a crime is considered innocent until proven guilty, without proper legal representation a criminal defendant is placed at a severe disadvantage compared to the resources of the government.
If you were arrested or charged with a crime in North Reading, Massachusetts, then your criminal case will most likely be in the Woburn District Court, located at 30 Pleasant St, Woburn, MA 01801, or the Middlesex County Superior Court.
Aprodu | Conley believes that every person suspected of a crime should be able to receive competent representation. In Massachusetts, the criminal process starts with a police investigation or an arrest. Criminal charges can be resolved through motions, plea negotiations and even criminal trials. Even after trial, a person charged or convicted of a crime has a right to appeal or the possibility of having a criminal record sealed or expunged. It is never too early or too late to hire an attorney to represent you in this criminal process. Aprodu | Conley has client-focused attorneys who are experienced and will fight for your rights every step of the way. Whatever you have been charged with, you can contact Aprodu | Conley for a free consultation.

Sandy cools summer business
MANASQUAN, N.J. -- No, it wasn't a great summer to do business at the Jersey shore.
But considering the damage Superstorm Sandy did to the region last fall and the herculean effort to get large swaths of the coast ready for tourists and residents by Memorial Day, many say they are grateful they had any kind of summer season at all this year.
"What hurt us was there are a lot of residents who are still displaced by the storm -- people that I see all the time, whose children I've watched grow up, who I've seen maybe once or twice all summer," said Matthew Riccelli, general manager of Gee Gee's Pizza, which has been a fixture on the Manasquan beach walk for three decades.
The business and an adjacent arcade were wrecked by the storm, which filled the 8-foot-high basement with 6 feet of sand, shattered doors and windows, and flooded interiors. Riccelli said business was down by 30 percent this summer because of the lingering effects of the storm on tourism but also by an exceptionally rainy first half of the season. A carwash his friend owns also is down about 30 percent this summer, he added.
On the Belmar boardwalk, the Exit 98 Boutique reopened in a steel shipping container for this summer. Foot traffic was about the same as last year, but profits were down, said longtime employee Kathy Ferrara.
"Every last thing had to be replaced, from the first piece of clothing to the last paper clip, every hanger, every rack -- Wite-Out! Stupid things like Wite-Out we had to replace," she said.
Gov. Chris Christie, who has based much of his re-election campaign on the state's recovery from the storm, said no one expected a normal summer this year. He spent the first week in August at the shore with his family, sitting on the beach, playing miniature golf, strolling boardwalks and dining out every night.
"We knew that this summer was not going to be like the summer of 2012; I said that right from the beginning," he said. "There's no doubt that business was going to be down all over the Jersey shore because a lot of people, having seen the extraordinary devastation, didn't believe we'd be able to be up and running in time for summer. They turned out to be wrong, and I think we'll get them back next year. But it's a lot better than people in November and December thought it was going to be."
One of them was Richard Garcia. The Monroe, N.Y., man brought his family to Manasquan last week and was surprised at the changes.
"The (dunes) are gone, and there's all these houses going up on pilings," he said. "It looks like the Outer Banks in North Carolina. But we knew it wasn't destroyed."
Mike Clarkin, of Freehold, was pleased with what he saw on the Manasquan beachfront.
"I think they did a wonderful job here," he said. "I miss the sand dunes and there's a lot of construction work going on, but the beach is open and it looks good."
Beach home rentals also slowed this summer. The market on Long Beach island was off by about 25 percent, said Maggie O'Neill, a real estate agent in Ship Bottom. But that figure doesn't distress her.
"If you asked us nine months ago whether we were even going to have a season this year, we would have been hard-pressed to give you an answer," she said.
O'Neill said only about 5 percent of the rental stock on Long Beach Island was unavailable because of lingering storm damage.
"People who rent with us from Staten Island or Connecticut, their primary homes were damaged," she said. "They're working on fixing up their primary homes, and they're not taking vacations this year. Also, many people make their reservations in January and February, and that was a time of great uncertainty. We didn't know what the Jersey shore and the beaches were going to look like come summer. Some people went elsewhere this year."
The southern half of the Jersey shore fared much better in the storm than did Ocean and Monmouth counties and, as a result, saw little disruption of its normal summer tourism rhythms.
Ann Delaney, a real estate agent in Avalon and Stone harbor, said the Cape May County market was about the same this summer. Many property owners had hoped that tourists who normally vacation in northern shore areas hit hard by the storm would flock to southern New Jersey, but that didn't seem to happen on any large scale, she said.

The online world is growing to be an increasingly dangerous place, with multiple national governments including Britain, the U.S., and India alleging that their systems are being regularly hacked and probed by Chinese nationalists. These incidents are the sign of a growing trend and represent the increasing sentiment among military minds that the wars of the future will be waged heavily online.
In the era of online warfare, one of the most powerful attacks are brute force attacks using botnets. These nets control thousands, or in theory, millions of online computers, remotely coordinating them to perform attacks as simple as simple distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks as well as more sophisticated attacks.
The value of having a strong botnet is becoming readily apparent. China already appears to have one, if U.S. intelligence is to be believed. The U.S. is floating plans of building its own botnet to combat its enemies. And it's putting the idea out under the public eye to get feedback, as it prefers its actions be discovered sooner, rather than later for fear of public backlash.
Col. Charles W. Williamson III writes in the Armed Services Journal an article calling for the development of a botnet, using the American public's computers. He wants the botnet to be placed under the U.S. Air Force's command. The Air Force is becoming increasingly involved with online warfare, with the development of a new sub-branch of the Air Force, the Air Force Cyber Command (AFCYBER). AFCYBER deals with a variety of online threats from rogue individuals to dangerous nationalists.
Many see the article as more of an announcement as opposed to a question. Barring massive public feedback, it seems likely the U.S. military will pursue plans to develop a massive botnet for its offensive and defensive purposes. Williamson raises a valid point that any fortress, digital or real-world, will eventually be penetrated by a determined invader. He says the only viable solution is to develop and practice a considered offense.
He points out that cyber security circles agree with him on this point; most security experts realize that no method of data protection is currently foolproof. By merely owning a credible offensive capability, Williamson believes many would-be attackers will be deterred.
How will the botnet be formed? Williamson suggests first repurposing old military computers. He goes on to suggest that the military should consider infecting civilian machines with trojans, making them potential zombies, should the need for the botnet's use arise.
Williamson concludes his ruminations on the botnet with an intriguing question. If another country's civilian infrastructure is attacking our government or civilian infrastructure online, how can the U.S. delicately launch an attack against the attacking infrastructure?
Writes Williamson, "The biggest challenge will be political. How does the US explain to its best friends that we had to shut down their computers? The best remedy for this is prevention. The US and its allies need to engage in a robust joint endeavor to improve net defense and intelligence to minimize this risk."

Microsoft and Mozilla have announced a special release of Firefox that integrates with the Bing search engine. The build, which is called Firefox with Bing, is available for users to download from a Microsoft-hosted website.
When Firefox 4 was released last year, it added Bing as one of the available options in the browser's built-in search box. Google remained the default, but Bing became easily accessible to users who prefer Microsoft's search engine. Microsoft and Mozilla also took the opportunity to establish a revenue-sharing agreement around the search integration.
The new "Firefox with Bing" browser sets Bing as the default search engine and comes with Bing configured as the start page. These changes are tied to the special version of the browser and won't impact the current defaults in regular Firefox releases. Users can also optionally install the Bing Search for Firefox add-on to get the same features in a regular Firefox build.
Mozilla has previously released a number of similarly customized Firefox builds in collaboration with various partners. For example, they released a special version of Firefox with Twitter integration earlier this year. Mozilla has been expanding its relationships with commercial partners over the past year, leading to some unexpected tie-ins. The release of Firefox with Bing is merely the latest development.

Sun leaving its mark as skin cancer proliferates among younger patients
When William Ensling was a young man, he thought nothing of the painful, blistering sunburns he would get while he was out fishing or working construction.
"We didn't really know that much about it then, or that it was really bad for you," he said.
Three years ago, Ensling's wife, Clementine, told him a trip to the doctor was in order after he found a small, dark spot on his shoulder that hadn't been there a few years before.
Since then, Ensling, 75, a Norwich resident, has had seven melanomas removed from all over his body — arms, back, shoulders, legs and stomach. Two of the Enslings' five children are fair-skinned, and one has even had a few suspicious spots removed.
According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. The group expects 59,940 new melanomas to be diagnosed in 2007. While it's most common among the elderly, doctors said they're seeing a gradual increase of young patients.
"Age-wise, I'm seeing people between 40 and 90 years old mostly, but I also took a melanoma off a 17-year-old," said Dr. Howard Rogers, a dermatologist on staff at The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich. "I'm taking more and more skin cancers off people in their 20s. The most common patients I see are women who do tanning in the booths, or men who do construction all summer in the sun."
Spot Changes
The most frequently noted symptoms of skin cancer include a change in the symmetry, border, color or diameter of a mole or spot on the skin. These can occur in each of the three types of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (which are not likely to spread to other parts of the body) and melanoma — and also can appear in the form of a mark or lesion that wasn't on the skin previously.
Rogers said even those who apply sunscreen don't always do enough to protect themselves from a severe burn. It's important to reapply after going in the water or if it's been a few hours since you put it on, he said.
"You really need an SPF of at least 30 and to have enough on that you really have almost a white sheen from it on your skin," he said. "One tiny little capful is not enough to protect yourself or your kids."
Children are particularly at risk because recent studies have linked significant sunburns during childhood to a greater chance of developing skin cancer later on.
"Just one blistering sunburn in childhood can double the risk of getting melanoma later in life," said Dr. Perry Robins, president of The Skin Cancer Foundation.
For starters, don't head out into the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., because rays are at their strongest then. Experts also recommend wearing a hat and sleeved clothing to remain cool but keep the sun off as much skin as possible.
Clementine Ensling said she makes sure her grandson is lathered in sunscreen before he heads outdoors to play during the summer.
Though her husband has endured the removal of his skin cancer well, she said the experience scared her into being proactive. The Enslings now use sunscreen and avoid being outside during the hottest times of the day.
"Everything turned out all right for us, but it was very scary. You figure, we're getting older, everyone has spots," she said. "But you don't know if it's spread or affected anything else. It's just better to be cautious before and not have to worry about it later."

The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: A Shocking Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian Detective. By Kate Summerscale. Illustrated. Walker, 360 pp., $24.95.
By Janice Harayda
Anyone who has slogged through some of the grimmer winners of the Man Booker Prize may look more kindly on British judges after reading this admirable winner of the U.K.'s highest award for nonfiction.
In The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher, Kate Summerscale uses the conventions of the detective novel to tell the true story of the murder of a three-year-old boy whose body turned up in the servants' privy of an English country house in the summer of 1860. And the device works remarkably well despite a few red herrings and questions that have eluded answers for more than a century.
All good writers try to give their books a healthy pace that often depends partly on suspense, but Summerscale goes beyond that. She has structured her book like an old-fashioned detective novel that includes clues hidden in plain sight and a startling twist in the final pages that casts the story in a new light just when you think you understand it.
The murder of young Saville Kent took place at Road Hill House, a 19-room Georgian dwelling in Wiltshire owned by Samuel Kent, a government sub-inspector of factories. On the night the child died, the elder Kent was home along with his pregnant second wife (the former family governess), four children from his first marriage and two from his second, and three-live in female servants. The evidence suggested overwhelmingly that one of those people killed the boy found in an outhouse with his throat slashed.
But there was no obvious motive for the crime, and the stymied local police sought help from Scotland Yard, which sent Detective-Inspector Jonathan "Jack" Whicher to Road Hill. Whicher quickly become convinced that he knew who killed Saville, but in trying to prove it ran up against obstacles than included a public scorn for his work, rooted partly in mid-Victorian notions of social class and family privacy. He found no vindication until five years later when the killer confessed. Some questions about the murder remain unanswered, notwithstanding a mysterious letter from Australia that arrived decades after his death and purported to set the record straight.
Summerscale may overplay the effect the notorious murder had the development of the detective novel, which might have evolved as it did regardless, but this doesn't undermine her achievement. "This was the original country-hour mystery," she writes, "a case in which the investigator needed to find not a person but a person's hidden self." Her careful mapping of that quest would make this book interesting even if the case had not influenced Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone and Charles Dickens's The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
Modern crime stories – whether fiction or nonfiction – often reduce murderers' motives to pop-psychological clichés that are absurdly inadequate to the savagery of the acts committed. By going back nearly a century and a half — before detectives had access to the temptations to facile analysis offered by Freud and Dr. Phil — Summerscale reminds us how much more there may be to it than that.
Best line: Whicher once captured a swindler "who had conned a London saddler out of a gun case, an artist out of two enamel paintings, and an ornithologist out of 18 humming bird skins."
Worst line: "One evening Saville's then nursemaid, Emma Sparks, put the boy to bed, as usual, in a pair of knitted socks." The meaning of "then nursemaid" is clear, but the construction of the phrase is newspaperese.
Reading group guide: A Totally Unathorized Reading Group Guide to The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher appeared on One-Minute Book Reviews on Sept. 30, 2008, in the post that directly preceded this one.

From the White House to the Vatican to the business elite in Davos, Switzerland, one issue keeps seizing the agenda: the growing gap between the very wealthy and everyone else.
It's "the defining challenge of our time," says President Barack Obama, who will spotlight the issue in his State of the Union address Tuesday night. A Gallup poll finds two-thirds of Americans are unhappy with the nation's distribution of wealth. Experts say it may be slowing the economy.
Why has the issue suddenly galvanized attention? Here are questions and answers about the wealth gap – what it is and why it matters.
Q. Has the Obama administration made progress in narrowing the wealth gap?
A. No. By most measures, it's worsened in the past seven years. President Barack Obama managed last year to restore higher tax rates on incomes above $398,350. And he's pushed other steps that might narrow the gap slightly, such as a higher minimum wage. But congressional Republicans have resisted most such measures.
Q. Hasn't there always been a wide gulf between the richest people and the poorest?
A. Yes. What's new is the widening gap between the wealthiest and everyone else. Three decades ago, Americans' income tended to grow at roughly similar rates, no matter how much you made. But since roughly 1980, income has grown most for the top earners. For the poorest 20 percent of families, it's dropped.
Q. So who are the top 1 percent in income?
A. They're bankers, lawyers, hedge fund managers, founders of successful companies, entertainers, senior managers and others. One trend: Corporate executives, doctors, and farmers made up smaller shares of the top 1 percent in 2005 than in 1979.
Q. Where do the 1 percent live?
A. Investor Warren Buffett famously lives in Omaha, Neb. Les Wexner, whose fashion empire includes Victoria's Secret, is an Ohioan. But the wealthy mainly cluster around the largest cities. Of the 515 U.S. billionaires, 96 live around New York City, according to the intelligence firm Wealth-X. Los Angeles is home to 22, Chicago 21, San Francisco 20, Houston 14.
Maryland has the highest concentration of millionaires with 7.7 percent of its residents having $1 million or more in financial assets. New Jersey, Connecticut, Hawaii and Alaska have the next-highest concentrations, according to a report from Phoenix Marketing International.
Q. Does it matter if some people are much richer than others?
A. Most economists say some inequality is needed to reward hard work, talent and innovation. But a wealth gap that's too wide is usually unhealthy. It can slow economic growth, in part because richer Americans save more of their income than do others. Pay concentrated at the top is less likely to be spent.
It can also trigger reckless borrowing. Before the 2008 financial crisis, middle class households struggled to keep up their spending even as their pay stagnated. To do so, they piled up debt. The Great Depression and the Great Recession were both preceded by surging income gaps and heedless borrowing by middle class Americans.
Q. Has it become harder for someone born poor to become rich?
A. The evidence is mixed. Countries that have more equal income distributions, such as Sweden and other Scandinavian countries, tend to enjoy more social mobility. But a study released last week found that the United States isn't any less mobile than it was in the 1970s. A child born in the poorest 20 percent of families in 1986 had a 9 percent chance of reaching the top 20 percent as an adult, the study found – roughly the same odds as in 1971.
Other research has shown that the United States isn't as socially mobile as once thought. In a study of 22 countries, economist Miles Corak of the University of Ottawa found that the United States ranked 15th in social mobility.
Q. So why has income inequality worsened?
A. There's no simple answer. Globalization has created "superstars" and concentrated pay among corporate executives, Wall Street traders, popular entertainers and other financial elite. At the same time, factory workers now compete with 3 billion people in China, India, eastern Europe and elsewhere who weren't working for multinational corporations 20 years ago. These trends have contributed to a "hollowed out" labor market, with more jobs at the higher and lower ends of the pay scale and fewer in the middle.
Q. So what is the best way to shrink the wealth gap?
A. Most ideas break down along political lines. Liberal economists tend to support a higher minimum wage, greater access to pre-school and college education and more spending on roads, bridges and other infrastructure to help generate good-paying jobs. Most favor higher taxes on the wealthy to pay for such programs.
Conservatives tend to back tax cuts, government deregulation and other steps they say will accelerate hiring and growth and raise living standards for everyone. They tend to focus on the need to advance income mobility.

Intel working on TV set-top box to replace cable
Intel Corp. said Tuesday that it will sell a set-top box that brings Internet-delivered movies and shows to a TV set this year.
Erik Huggers, general manager of Intel Media, said the company plans to sell a box that will offer "a vastly superior experience" to today's cable boxes.
There are various boxes today that bring Internet content to TV sets, with popular ones made by Roku and Apple. But Intel wants to go further and make its box and streaming service a replacement for cable.
Rumors of an Intel set-top box and video service emerged last year. Huggers didn't say what the box and service would cost, or when this year such a device would come out. He said Intel's goal is to provide quality rather than undercutting cable pricing.
The video service would also be available on non-TV devices such as the iPad, Huggers said. Cable companies have been making some content available on smartphone and tablet computers as part of their TV Everywhere initiative, but the selection of programs and channels is limited.
Intel is the world's largest chipmaker, but has little direct contact with consumers. Its chief business, making processors for PCs, is stagnating as PC sales are declining and consumers are moving to tablets and smartphones, most of which don't run Intel chips. Huggers said the company was motivated to get into the consumer business after realizing that it needed to control every aspect of the service, from chips to software, to get it right.
Shares of the Santa Clara, California, company rose 16 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $21.19 in afternoon trading, as other technology stocks declined.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs told his biographer before his death in 2011 that he wanted to revolutionize the TV, but Apple so far hasn't revealed anything about those plans. A big obstacle is believed to be that movie studios and TV networks like the current cable model, under which TV customers can't choose to pay channel by channel, but have their choices limited to certain packages. It's a profitable model for them, and they've been reluctant to open up to more flexible programming models.
But Huggers said media companies were showing some flexibility.
"I think we can bring an incredible TV experience via the Internet, to consumers, and that is a great opportunity for programmers," he said at the "D: Dive Into Media" conference in Dana Point, California.
One of the features of the Intel box would be the ability to identify, through a camera, which family member is watching and offer him or her personalized recommendations, Huggers said.

It's the little things lately that fuel me up. The details. Paying attention. So much is out my hands that it's all in the little things. Maybe it's the renewed warmth of Spring doing that to me with very much intensity. Maybe it's the rhythm of the work days that intensified lately. It makes me crave finding my grounds, keeping them and taking care of us.
Food is naturally part of that equilibrium. Roasted chicken and mixed greens enjoyed with friends during a lazy Sunday lunch. A simple salad of heirloom tomatoes shared with B. in between his classes and his music. A classic nosh of French cheeses and pate downtown at a new favorite hang out. A simple plate of lentils and kale topped with a friend egg on a weeknight. Simple. Details. Seasonings. Spices. Balance.
When it comes to dessert, you can bet I am right around the corner with a big plate and large smile! I rarely want a slice of cake or a dozen cookies. Fresh. Seasonal. Textures. Aromas. These words resonate strongly when it comes to picking desserts. There are things I can't have anymore and ingredients I need to pay attention to so desserts need to pack a punch in a few bites. They need to make me weak in the knees or I'll pass. I am a gourmande. I'd like to enjoy that for a while and not feel worse because I am not keeping tabs of what I do.
Most nights dessert is a bowl of strawberries or raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream (my absolute weakness), a handful of cherries, a baked apple. Simple. Then there are the simple but planned out desserts we enjoy a couple of times a week. The ones I come to tell you about here. The ones which flavors dance in my head long before I actually make them.
Like these Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches. They were not just good. They were simple. They were made from scratch with good stuff like homemade vanilla ice cream. And they were gluten free. I know! You're thinking
I could fit one in my hand without a problem. I could do a 3 bite dance just as easily. I could also carry one in my pocket. I am sure the pups would follow me to the end of the earth with such a trick, ahahah! B. simply loved the taste of the wafers which always make me happy as I bake more and more gluten free that he can't point out the switch. He grabbed a handful of plain wafers on his way out earlier. Just like that.
I took the cookie recipe used on a job last week and modified to be gluten free and I was really pleased to see the end products behaved the same while being prepared, baked and stacked. The original recipe called for margarine which I subbed for half butter and half coconut oil (see reasons and how to's in recipe section here) but feel free to use all butter. For the ice cream, I kept it pretty simple and did an eggless base loaded with good vanilla seeds.
Here's what I like about making ice cream sandwiches from scratch beside the obvious "they're better for us": it gives me an excuse to make fresh ice cream for some other night of the week. I don't have to fill all the cookies at once and can do so as we please since they too can be kept in the freezer and I can keep some cookies plain on the side when a chocolate cravings comes knocking at midnight. As it is now....
Why is the freezer door this loud this time of night when everyone is asleep but me? Ha!

Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches:
Makes twelve 3-inch square sandwiches
- you can use 2 cups all purpose flour instead of all the combined gluten free flours (sweet rice through cornstarch)
- for the dotted look on the sandwiches, I used one of the tools comprised in this set that I received as a gift years ago.
For the cookies:
4 tablespoons (55gr) unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 tablespoons coconut oil (55gr), at room temperature
1 cup sucanat (organic cane sugar) muscovado or brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup superfine or regular sweet rice flour
1/2 cup superfine or regular brown rice flour
1/2 cup millet flour
1/2 cup cornstarch (use tapioca flour if allergic to corn)
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Prepare the cookies:
In the bowl of a electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butterm coconut oil and muscovado sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Lower the speed and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the cocoa powder, all the flours, baking powder, and salt. Still with the mixer on low speed, at the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until the dough starts to come together. Gather the dough into a ball and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
On a lightly floured surface or a Silpat, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thick. Use your preferred cookie cutter to cut out as many pieces as you can. Gather and re-roll the scraps if necessary. Make patters on cookie with a fork or other tool (see notes) if desired. Place on lined baking sheet and bake 8 - 10 minutes. Cool completely before sandwiching them with ice cream.
For the vanilla ice cream:
1 cups (250ml) heavy cream
1 cup (250ml) whole milk
1 cup (250ml) whole coconut milk
1/2 cup (125gr) mild honey
1/2 vanilla bean, split open and scraped - seeds set aside
Prepare the ice cream:
In a large saucepan set over medium low heat, bring the cream, milk, coconut milk, honey and vanilla bean seeds to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate, preferably overnight.
Process the mixture into your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's intructions.
Once the ice cream has reached soft serve consistency, pour about half into a 9x9 freeze proof dish lined with plastic wrap (try to get about 1 to 1.5 inch thickness for the ice cream to sandwich later on) and the other half into a freezable container. Freeze until firm.
No ice cream maker? No problem! Pour the cream into a freeze proof container and freeze for a couple of hours. Take it out and whip it with an electric mixer or immersion blender, freeze it again, whip it again....do that four or five times. The mixture won't be quite the same but pretty darn close.
With the same cookie cutter, cut through the ice cream that was poured into the 9x9 inch pan and sandwich in between two cookies. Keep frozen. The cookies will keep well wrapped in the freezer for up to 3 months.
I'll upload the recipe in French either tonight or Wednesday - ran out of steam tonight!
La recette en Francais ce soir ou demain au plus tard. Le boulot ca fatigue - ahahahah!
