Music CD recorders are the most familiar of the lot. They look like standard CD players and can play standard CDs. But they also have the circuitry and lasers to burn music data onto blank CDs known as CD-Recordable or CD-ReWritable discs. (CD-Rs can be recorded on only once; CD-RWs are erasable and can be used again and again.) The resulting CDs sound as good as the originals and, in the case of CD-R discs, will play in any CD player; CD-RW discs require new players...

...initial descent," says space-agency spokesman ANATOLY TKACHYOV, describing a plan to drop the station gradually into descending orbits. If its interlocking modules successfully separate, the station will then tumble piece by piece to earth; Moscow hopes that whatever bits of the 120-ton space station don't burn up in free fall will quietly splash down.

Whether you prefer sunscreen or sunblock, choose one with an SPF rating of at least 15. Light-skinned people should opt for an SPF rating of 30. If it normally takes you 10 minutes to burn at the beach without any protection, an SPF-15 product will let you frolic in the sun for 15 times 10 minutes, or 2 1/2 hours. After that, you've had your radiation dose for the day.
