If CSA News Does Not Download to Your Computer...
Note: For some reason the CSANews Hyperlink may not work in some email systems. If it fails for you, follow one of these two instructions:
A. Try Copying the link to your web browser:
- Copy this link to your Web Browser address line (http://www.csama.org/NWS0702.PDF), then click "GO"
- CSA News may contain quite a few graphics. It could take several minutes to download.
- Tip: Most browsers seem to download part of the newsletter, open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader and show you the first page. We think it is more convenient to download CSANews to your disk, and open and print it from there. Some browsers allow you to right click on the link. The then give you several options including "Save target to disk." See below for tips on how to do this.

About CSA News:
CSA News is published by the Creation Science Association for Mid-America, 22509 State Line Road, Cleveland, MO 64734. CSA News issues are publixhed every other month, dated on odd-numbered months, e.g., January, March, but mailed about the 2nd week of the even-numbered month preceding it's date.
CSA News is sent only to those who request it. You may request either "hard copy" via the postal service or "Electronic" delivery. Notification of electronic mail is sent via email, but CSA News is not attached to the email. Rather, a link to the www.csama.org website is included in the email that should download the current newsletter automatically.
Occasionally people decide "Uncle Charlie needs to read this" and put Uncle Charlie's name on our mail list. Also, we do allow people to buy a subscription for someone. We try to notify the recipient when this occurs. If you do not want to receive CSA News, reply, adding 'REMOVE' to subject. If you are on the snail mail list, and wish to be removed, send us an email, letter, or phone call to to that effect. Currently, electronic versions of CSA documents are saved in Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) format. This format offers the promise of reasonable platform independence, and reasonably compact files. Thus far, the promise has been largely, but not completely, fulfilled, but we remain hopeful.
Reporting Problems:
We have about 10% of our pilot sites report problems, usually minor, with each newsletter. Please let us know your experience too. Send us your notes and comments, especially any problems you have. Please include following:
- Some information about "Acrobat Reader Version" you are using
Note: You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader (v4 or above). Most computers have it. If you do not, it is free at www.adobe.com, at the bottom of their home page, click the "Get Acrobat Reader" button. The CSA News documents are quite complex. They have a lot of information in 4 pages. They can take several minutes to download.
- The Steps you employed trying to download CSA News

We trust you will find CSA News, articles, meetings, Safaris and other services useful.
