Hi Carolyn,

This announcement was published in March, 2011. We don't often remove blog posts just in case our readers need to refer to them, no matter how old they may be. ;)

The download seems to be working on my end. Please try again and give it some time to load. Sometimes the articles take time to open.

Hi Liz_S,

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble downloading the article.

What browser are you using and is it up-to-date? When you click download, do you get any pop-up from a pop-up blocker? Also, when you click download are you given a 'new tab' in your browser?

I've opened the article up several times with no problems, and so it may be a browser compatibility issue. You may also have to give it some time for the PDF to download. If you're on a PC, you can also try your "Downloads" folder by simply going to "My Documents" and then "Downloads".

Please let us know if this helps.

Thanks!
