1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
1. To define the role that availability of each of the one-carbon nutrients plays in determining the risk of common cancers and to determine the nature of the interactions between these nutrients in this regard.
2. Determine how genetic differences interact with dietary antagonists of one-carbon nutrients in determining cancer risk. (PDRAM NAA09).
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
Appropriate alterations in dietary and nutritional habits have an important role to play in cancer prevention. The nutrients involved in one-carbon metabolism (methionine, choline and the B-vitamins, folate, B12, B6, and B2) have drawn considerable attention in this regard and are the focus of this laboratory. Our mission is to examine the complex roles that these nutrients play in modifying metabolic and genetic pathways that lead to human carcinogenesis and thereby define the means by which cancers can be nutritionally prevented. The program of research emphasizes how these dietary compounds interact with genetic background to modify molecular and signaling pathways which alter the development of cancers and to examine how other exogenous factors, such as alcohol consumption also play a role. The laboratory focuses on colorectal cancer and breast cancer and utilizes animal studies, cell culture studies, and human studies to accomplish our research goals.
3.Progress Report
Supplementation with B Vitamins in Pregnant Mice Protects Offspring from Intestinal Cancer. Previously, ARS-funded researchers at JMUSDA-HNRCA at Tufts University, Boston, MA, indicated that B-vitamin supplementation of pregnant mice protects, while mild depletion enhances, intestinal tumorigenesis in offspring. The investigators have now had the opportunity to explore some of the mechanisms by which this effect appears to be mediated. They have shown that a maternal diet mildly deficient in B vitamins produces alterations in some of the components of the so-called Wnt signaling pathway, a biochemical pathway contained in the cells that line the colon that is pro-cancerous in nature when it is overly activated. They also collaborated with an investigator at another university and examined the same issue in a different mouse model of colon cancer: the same protection against colon cancer with folate supplementation was observed, confirming the validity of the results from the first study. Unraveling the pathways through which the benefits of folate supplementation are mediated should assist in the intelligent design of public health guidelines as to the optimal diet for pregnant women.

Pharmacy made famous by Joyce's Ulysses faces closureTuesday 03 June 2014 23.43
Sweny's historic pharmacy in Dublin faces closure after its volunteers were told they have to pay commercial rates.
Sweny's was made famous by James Joyce's Ulysses.
Leopold Bloom visits the pharmacy and buys a cake of lemon soap.
The volunteers who run it have said they should not have to pay commercial rates as it is no longer a pharmacy and is a registered charity.
They say it now operates as a museum and sells second-hand books and lemon soap.
It also holds daily readings of Joyce novels.
A valuation officer for the Dublin City area visited the store last month.
Volunteer Wendy Conroy said they have received a bill for over €4,000 in annual commercial rates which they cannot afford.
She said they are appealing the decision.
Dublin City Council said it is obliged to charge commercial rates until the appeal is determined.
Sweny's pharmacy was built on Lincoln Place near Merrion Square in Dublin in 1847 as a GP's consulting room and later became a pharmacy.
It has altered very little since then, in memory of Joyce.

KENNEBUNK — Phyllis Emma Johnson, 89, died Friday, Nov. 30, 2012 at Southern Maine Medical Center. She previously resided at Summerfield's and then The Kindred Care in Kennebunk.
Phyllis was born July 11, 1923 in Arlington, Mass., a daughter of Frederick and Mildred (Williams) Cole. She worked at Newton Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts as a dietician, where she met her husband, David Johnson. They moved to Maine and helped her sister with her restaurant in Kennebunkport. She later helped her older sister, Barbara, who started Karen's On A Roll — selling lobster rolls out of a truck on Route 1 in Wells for many years.
Phyllis was a member of the Red Hat Society and the Arundel Golden Girls. She was an avid reader, until her eyes failed, then she discovered books on tape — listening to many each week and conversing with her son regularly about authors. She loved to knit and do needlepoint. And she especially loved her cat Susie.
She is survived by her son, Mark Lancaster, and his wife, Nancy, of San Bernadino, Calif.; her two daughters, Jane Hewitt, and her partner, Phyllis Axton, of Big Bear, Calif. and Alieda Raymond, and her husband, Richard, of Arundel; her niece, Karen Merrill, of Kennebunkport; her nephew, Daniel Lucy, of Hawaii; and her very best friend, Agnes Foss. Phyllis is also survived by five grandchildren, Craig, Dana, Mark, Steven and Michael; and three great-grandchildren.
Memorial services will be held at a later date. Arrangements in care of Bibber Memorial Chapel, 67 Summer St., Kennebunk. www.bibberfuneral.com

Research interests
- Ecology and management of fruit fly
- Sterile insect technique
- Biological control
- Silicon based insect-plant interactions
Olivia Reynolds (née Kvedaras) is a research entomologist who completed her PhD with the cotton industry on the influence of host plants on the mating behaviour of Helicoverpa armigera. After spending nearly two years travelling widely in Europe and gaining work experience after the completion of her PhD, Olivia commenced a postdoctoral fellowship in 2004 with the South African Sugarcane Research Institute and the University of Witwatersrand (Wits). Olivia's postdoctoral work with the sugarcane industry of South Africa has led to significant change in grower practice as a result of applied ecological research. Industry is now recommended to apply silicon (Si) to enhance sugarcane resistance to attack by the stem borer, Eldana saccharina Walker.
In December 2006, Olivia was appointed to NSW DPI*. Olivia is based at the Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute, and is responsible for post-production issues pertaining to fruit fly, with particular emphasis on the Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni. Olivia leads two projects, one which aims to optimise sterile fruit fly releases for improved market access and another national project which aims to optimize a strategic trapping system to provide area-wide freedom from fruit flies. Olivia also collaborates on another two fruit fly projects, one of which is looking at developing female lures for fruit flies and one of which will lead to specific management recommendations on optimal environmental conditions, release rates and release locations for sterile fruit flies. Olivia has also continued her work with silicon (Si) based insect-plant interactions and has recently demonstrated, together with colleagues, that Si applied to plants alters the Herbivore Induced Plant Volatile profile induced when attacked by pests, making plants more attractive to natural enemies; an effect that was reflected in elevated biological control in the field. Olivia also supervises a number of postgraduate students.

Allison's Details from the Past
Location:Seattle, Washington
Square Feet:372
What I Love About My Home
My building was a hotel in the 1920s that has been converted into apartments, and I love the history! There is an old, non-working radiator in the corner, the hardwood floor and walls are aged and grooved, and there are random hinges left on the entryways; I love the details from the past. My goal has been to create a warm and inviting atmosphere by using colors to pop against the stark, white walls.
Biggest Challenge in Furnishing My Home
Despite only having one main room, it was very important to me to still have separate living areas. I used color stories and furniture to divide the "bedroom" from the "living room" from the "office", but I'm constantly thinking up new ways to break up the space!
Comments (29)
The bedroom looks like an Ikea showroom. That's probably why I like it. ;) Good working with what you have.
Cute kitchen. I'm not sure about dark furniture in a small space, it just pops to the eye. Also the closet looks huge, maybe it could be converted so you'll have more space for the living room ?
It feels a bit cramped, at least from the photos.
If I were you, I'd most definitely change the artwork.
To seen the bathroom would have been interesting
and I wouldn't dismiss AllegraM's idea.
It has a very "boudoir" like atmosphere! It's a shame the light in your photos is not very good because I have the feeling your place is much cozier than it looks here.
Oh my gosh. Great job Allison. I never thought that one could make a old hotel room livable. I like your use of tones of purple for the sleeping area and blue for your sitting area.
This is, without hesitation, the best entry in the teeny-tiny division. As the title suggests, Allison's hotel home is a ray of sunshine among a field clouded with cliché design choices. The scarf closet, the ancient phone and the masterfully placed art work made me want to move right in to this "Seattle Sanctuary." Well done Allison.
Allison, I love your apartment! I actually really like your use of dark furniture in a small space - I think it adds sophistication and elegance. The bedroom is my favourite area - the purple and black, along with the candles, the mirror, the simple artwork... gorgeous! It's sexy and cozy, the perfect combination for a bedroom ;o) Overall, fabulous job!
I love the purple chair/mirror/candles set-up, and the funky tropical painting - it's just the right colors for the space!
I too am a hometown Seattlite, so I'd love to know what building this is, but I'd totally understand if you don't want to say. :)
I agree that I think the lighting doesn't do this entry justice. It feels really cramped to me, but I bet it's more cozy in person.
I quite like this one, it's different and quirky. I really like the scarves in the doorway! One thing I would say is the height of the artwork is a bit off, they just need to be a bit lower.
I especially love the little living 'room' you've created. And that green curtain is just gorge!
love the scarves, and the kitchen is super adorable. i think the layout needs some work, though (that closet would make an AWESOME office), and i agree that all the dark furniture isn't doing the space any favours.
Thanks for all of the input, everyone! I have thought about converting my closet area into something more useful, but I just can't part with the walk-in closet... ;)
By the way, my building is in the Eastlake area of Seattle. I love the neighborhood!
Thank you for not making your entry pics irritatingly artsy with vignettes and superficially perfect lighting! Also, I love purple so points for that. I happen to love Ikea and probably go there too often [it's down the street from work...], but the fact that I can probably name most of your furniture is kind of a downer for me :( sorry. It also might mean I need to spend less time there. Great effort and I'm jealous of its charm.
I love how you have seperated the living areas (feel just like you do about that). I cannot believe it is only 372 sq. ft., it looks bigger. Awesome space! Downtown L.A. has turn many old hotels into micro lofts also!!!
Of all the tiny spaces I've seen, this seems like the one that I could most easily "move into" - I like the simplicity, all the colors are those I love, and everything just...fits. Great job!
love how you used the scarves to divide your space, I would prefer to see more continuity in the curtain colors. I understand that you are creating separate areas using color but I think perhaps you should try different shades of the same color or have all the curtains the same with contrasting trim to Tell your color story.
I think I understand your choice on dark furnitures. They really gave a little more personality in your space. I dig it. =) Good luck!
This is my favourite, I love the colours! You have a great style that is fun yet classic. Nothing looks out of place! I especially like the sitting room area. Looks like the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of tea!
while this apartment doesnt seem as professionally designed as the others in this contest, thats why i love it! you get a lot out of your space here and while it does look like an ikea showroom, it looks like one id like to live in. high five for the plum ikea curtains - i have them too and its hard to believe its just $20 a panel for these gorgeous pieces!
I love the scarf curtain! I wonder if there's a way to hide the back of the Poang chair? I have one, too, and it's against a corner because I hate that lighter, contrasting back. Maybe you could faux-upholster it with one of your scarves? :)
LOVE the bed area! & the concept of separating function with color!
Not so sure about black/grey furniture, was expecting more purple/plum and more Art Nouveau feel throughout! :)
Love the idea of living in an ex hotel too!! YAY!!

SXSW is like four days of Christmas, and the Sunday after is the biggest letdown.
After a rough night of sleep from an aching shoulder that may never recover from lugging around a laptop — that I thought was light a few weeks ago when I purchased it, but seemed to gain weight with every mile I walked — I am awake and feel the pangs of SXSW letdown.
I could have done more, I could have walked farther, I could have eaten more than once a day and carried more water. I should have seen the Polyphonic Spree, Andrew Bird, Nellie McKay, Sondre Lerche and a dozen others. I should have said hello to Tom Morello, just to be polite. I should have explored more day parties. I should have told the guy behind me last night from the Onion AV Club, who was just generally being obnoxious about working for the Onion AV Club, that he wasn't really all that special. You know what, guy from the Onion AV Club? The guys from KCRW gave me gum at the Rachel Fuller show. They were classy people, you were a bore.
Exhaustion, frustration and disappointment are a given. No one walks away from SXSW without feeling these key components to any festival. Other than that, I think the overwhelming feeling is that I was here to work and I did. A lot of people are here to party, but I can't think of a worse place to party. So many people, no place to relax, brief sets by obscure-to-"wait, are those the guys with the big hair? I think I heard them on a commercial once" bands, and squalor everywhere.
On the other hand, I love being here. I love having survived it. I even kind of like the squalor. I love that I saw Jandek and can tell people I've seen Jandek, even though I find him unbearable to listen to. Here's a list of other stuff that was great about this year's SXSW:
Meeting Perseph1 and Jana Hunter. I never seem to profile the women of the Houston music scene and I'm glad we were able to showcase them in our coverage.
Eef Barzelay's compelling weirdness.
Seeing Million Year Dance attract passers-by like bears to honey.
Allen Oldies Band on Saturday morning.
The patient, friendly SXSW volunteers. I didn't come across one sour face.
Hearing foreign accents all around.
A refreshing decrease in hipster beards.
Above all, I'm proud that we were able to support the Houston artists who came to Austin this week.
Now I'm going to eat breakfast for the first time in days and not listen to any music.

Algebra Introduction
An expression is just a string of numbers and/or variables, with no equal sign in sight. Part of the reason some people get so freaked out by algebra is that they may see an expression like this:
3x + y2
...and assume that they're looking at some foreign language. What are numbers and letters doing, jumbled together like some sort of keyboard free-for-all? And what is that little "2" doing floating up there near the top? What is it, filled with helium?
Once you understand what these numbers and symbols mean, though, everything becomes easier to handle. For example, say you have a vegetable garden with 3 tomato plants. You high roller, you. How many tomatoes are there on each plant? That's what x stands for. Suppose that you also went through the garden and sprinkled onion seeds in a square plot, with the same number of onions in each row and column. That's what the y stands for, so there are y × y = y2 onions in that square of dirt.
If we're told that each tomato plant yields 4 tomatoes, we know that x = 4 and that there are 12 total tomatoes in your garden (3 × 4 = 12). Then we find out that 3 onion seeds were planted in each row and column, so that's 32 = 9 total onions. How many total veggies are in our garden?
Just plug everything we know into our original expression:
3x + y2
3(4) + 32
12 + 9 = 21 veggies
Meanwhile, you're sitting there and chowing down on that Big Mac while we're counting all the produce in your garden. How ironic.
Algebra is simply a way of abbreviating real-life scenarios—think of it as a type of shorthand for dealing with calculations that can get much more complicated than tallying up tomatoes and onions. Unless you're allergic to tomatoes, in which case we extend our condolences. Understanding what all these abbreviations mean will help you out big-time in the long run.
Pinky swear.

Pat's Review
I wouldn't keep having them come back to my house if they weren't really good.
First of all, Pat from Marshburn's comes out to the house to measure and to help you decide what to do once the men get there. The same men put in my living room carpet maybe 4 years ago, and they remember me and they remember the house. There were two of them, they were neat, and when they finished it was just perfect! I had the whole upstairs painted before they got there, and it was fine after they left. They will be coming back next week to do something else for me too, and I wouldn't keep having them come back to my house if they weren't really good.

Creamy Chilled Horseradish Soup with Tomato and Green Apple
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: How did I end up here? On my way to pairing horseradish with potato, I made a pit stop at another nightshade, tomato. I was thinking about a Bloody Mary, which reminded me of the Heirloom Tomato Soup and Sorbet I made last summer (and how they inspired a tomato sorbet based riff on a Bloody Mary). Although summer is a ways off, my daughter, aka the Tomato Bandit, has two cherry tomato plants that have taken over our raised bed, and are brimming with red beauties. This got me thinking about gazpacho, but with a twist – using green apple instead of cucumber. Once I got my soup chilling however, I decided there were too many seeds, so strained out the solids, stirred in some horseradish-dill-crème fraiche, and ended up with this soup. One taste begins with a sweet burst of tomato and apple, and ends with the peppery bite of horseradish. Crème fraiche and dill round out the flavors of this chilled starter; serve in small bowls, as a little goes a long way. - gingerroot —gingerroot
Food52 Review: Surprisingly complex and vibrant flavors come from just a few ingredients whizzed together in the food processor. A tart Granny Smith apple balances out the horseradish, and a dollop of dill creme fraiche brings it all together. This soup makes for a creative use for a bumper crop of tomatoes from the farmer's market. - broccolirose —broccolirose
Makes 3 cups
for soup
- 30 ripe red Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and cored, sliced and chopped
- 4 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 1 garlic clove
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Juice of ½ a lime
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste if necessary
for horseradish-dill-crème fraiche topping
- 2 tablespoons crème fraiche
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 2 teaspoons fresh dill, snipped
- Squeeze or two of fresh lime wedges, to taste
- Halve cherry tomatoes. Place tomatoes and chopped apple into bowl of a food processor. Add remaining ingredients, and pulse until well combined. Taste for salt, adding more if necessary. Pulse again.
- Strain mixture through a sieve into a quart Pyrex measure or glass bowl. Press down on solids with a spatula to get the most out of the seeds and pulp. Continue to press on solids until quite dry and you have 3 cups of liquid. Discard solids. Cover strained soup with plastic wrap and chill for at least three hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, make your horseradish-dill-crème fraiche by combining ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Remove soup from refrigerator, stir and taste, adjusting seasonings if necessary (salt, lime).

Just *Who* is Still Using IE6 Anyhow?
As I put the final touches on a "simple" one page website, I was met yet again with the all too familiar last step. Checking out how it looks in IE6. Yes, really. Still. And you probably already know the answer. Not good.
Which got me to thinking ...just who are the holdouts that are still using this browser that mangles their web experience and opens them up to all kinds of security issues.
This year the notorious browser will be 10 years old; I doubt anyone will be throwing IE6 a birthday party on August 27th. Some folks did already hold a funeral though. Ten years is a glacial epoch in web years and IE6 has become a symbol of all things bad and bassackwards in the web developer community. Browser stats can vary wildly, but right now according to IE6Countdown 11.6% of the world uses it and W3 Counter still registers 3.23% of the world looking at your website with IE6. So who are these people and why do they do it? Inquiring minds wanted to know. Here's what I found out.
The What
First of all, I found that I was not alone in asking this question. And it looks like many businesses have been asking as well and seemlingly finding a very low ROI (return on investment).
Google, YouTube, Facebook and Amazon no longer worry about your experience if you are looking at their sites on Ye Olde Internet Explorer. And closer to home, Blackbaud and Salesforce agree. Many more large sites are following suit and more web developers are convincing clients that it just isn't worth the time and money required to get sites and applications to play nice with the browser.
And now even Microsoft wants it to stop. They nicely created a website mapping out the end of this painful era - the IE6 Countdown site mentioned above. It's part of their effort to get usage stats under 1% so they can get rid of their embarassing headache, even though the company has committed to continue support for the browser until Windows XP support runs out ... in 2014.
They are pretty serious about reducing usage though. Their 2010 upgrade campaign in Australia asked for people to rat out their IE6 using friends so they could convince them that using IE6 is like drinking 9 year old rotten milk by sending them actual rancid milk. That's pretty hardcore in my book.
The Who & the Where
If you check out IE6 Countdown apparently the answer to our core question lies in big companies like Intel and the countries of China, South Korea and surprisingly India and Japan. Millions of unhappy people locked into a browser not likely of their choice.
Over a third of Chinese (33.8%) and nearly a quarter of South Koreans (24.5%) still use IE6. India and Japan hover around 10% and Saudi Arabi is on their heels with 9.9%.
Government support may have something to do with it - the UK continues to support IE6, Australia, France and Germany don't. I read in the comments on one of the many sites to cover Micorsoftt's campaign that South Korea's government for example is said to have developed their infrastructure to heavily rely on Active X and the browser, making an upgrade very costly. As far as I can tell, the official word at the U.S. federal level is to go with IE8, but it seems many agencies are still using the outdated browser as well.
Although Intel is one of the most notable companies that until last year was still working on IE6, it is not alone. As recently as 2009 IE6 was the browser of choice (60%!) for Enterprise level businesses.
One fairly recent post on the business network LinkedIn's questions and answers section estimated total business usage of IE6 as the default browser at round 12% of all US companies, which partly explains the 2.9% of IE 6 users the USA on the countdown map. I suspect there are some nonprofit offices included there as well.
The Why
Use of the old software is often tied to the use of old machines and other old software. Older hardware seems to be a big part of the reason in the high percentage of IE6 users in countries outside of the US. I was surprised about tech-savvy countries like Japan and India being in that group though. Another regional issue is the huge number of purportedly pirated versions of Windows XP software running throughout Asia, in which upgrades aren't possible.
If you run old versions of Windows like Windows 2000, upgrading to the new versions of IE isn't an option. If critical applications software was tailored to Window 98, or say, your intranet requires IE6, upgrading your operating system may not seem possible. So trying to upgrade the web browser creates a domino effect on the number of upgrades needed. Which adds cost as well as complexity, and likely leads to putting off the task again and again. Check out the comments on this post for more examples and insights.
The larger the organization/company, the bigger the problem becomes. While smaller businesses are shepherded along the upgrade path by buying retail, in bigger firms significant investment in new hardware and software takes place in 3-5 year cycles, so until Microsoft stops offering XP license extensions and major corporations need to switch to Windows 7, which doesn't support IE6, the problem will continue.
And then there are the external application dependencies. Software that is only compatible with this browser. IE6 came with its own now well-known eccentricities, so programming for its specific quirks became the norm. Many organizations have created whole suites of homegrown software, which don't include an upgrade path and would need re-written or replaced if users upgrade their browser.
So the main answer for businesses at least seems to be that existing options for migrating from IE 6 are too pricey & risky.
One other reason that came up in Why You Can't Pry IE6 Out of Their Cold Dead Hands is pretty sad - user control. Since business websites largely remain usable in IE6 but most of the distracting Web 2.0 and social sites fail, workers aren't likely to be updating their Facebook status from work if the company stays old school. This might be part of the slow adoption of new browsers in control conscious China as well.
Nonprofits face all these same challenges and some are probably still using IE6 for one of the reasons above. After all, they are also under severe budget constraints, often have older equipment and their IT staff, when they are lucky enough to have them, may also be intimidated by the cost and effort involved in an organization wide up-grade. So it seems likely that at least some of those statistics come from systemic nonprofit use.
I don't want to seem judgmental in case "you have a friend" still using IE6 or the problems of cost and reprogramming apply to your organization. So, why is it so important to carve out the budget and time to upgrade or swap browsers? Well those security issues are one big reason. And as with other upgrades, new more efficient software and workflows will be available once the switch has been made. Today's successful nonprofits need to be in the modern era, engaged in the social web and show topnotch efficiency for funders and donors. These are good reasons.
And well, even though I don't really believe that kittens will die if you use IE6, I know for a fact that switching will result in many fewer tears shed, curses hurled and hair lost by web developers around the world.
The How:
Web Users
If you aren't being compelled to use IE6 by your organization or company, just don't do it!
- Get IE 9 or at least IE 8 (good if you are stuck on Windows XP) for free, now.
- Maybe you'd like to try out Firefox or Google's Chrome?
- Or one of the dozens of other options you have these days for web browsing technology.
IT Managers
- If you want to move a whole group to a modern version of IE, Microsoft has provided resources to ease the upgrade for IT managers
- If you aren't sure what would be the best move for your organization there is a handy chart at the end of this article.
- And some new hope for backward compatibility with IE6 required sites with the release of UniBrows which allows them to run on IE8. But it ain't cheap.
Web Developers
- If you just want to make sure your content is accessible, then get on board with the Universal IE6 stylesheet for plain vanilla sites with readable content.
- If you simply must have a site look like an "OK" version of your design in IE6, then IE6 fixer is a good place to start. It catches many of the standard "gotchas" inherent to this browser. And you can get separate fixes for IE7 too.
What about your organization? Are you still using IE6? Do you want help to move on? If you let us know in the comments, I'm sure you will receive a lot of support, resources and advice to make the switch. Any real life experiences and additions also appreciated.
Re IE6-
I have got a Windows 7 laptop with IE8 and a Windows XP laptop with IE6. IE6 is the default version of Internet Explorer that is bunled with Windows XP,while IE8 is the default Internet Explorer that come with Windows 7. But I have not upgrade my IE6 on Windows XP because I have found that IE7 for a start is actually worse than IE6 or IE8. IE7 may be all right with Windows Vista which is what it was made to run with(Windows Vista come bunlded with IE7.) But I have used other Windows XP computers that have been upgraded to IE7 or IE8 and the performace of Windows is slower. And on Windows 7,when I upgrade to IE9 I found the same problem and also IE9 crashed all of my other IE based browsers,Green browser and Avant browser.
So on Windows 7 stick with IE8 and on Windows XP it is not woth upgrading to IE8 or IE7 as they are slower than IE9. This is probably because IE is tried to the system in Windows XP and also in Windows 7. And that eacher version of Windows is made to function on the default version of Internet Explorer it comes with. That is Windows XP it's IE6,Windows Vista it is IE7 and Windows 7 it's IE8. but the exception os Windows 2000,98 and 98 which Internet Explorer is not so tied in with Windows.So Windows 98 and 2000 can be upgraded to IE6 which is the highest version you can run on those versions of Windows. On windows 95 however, the highest verion of IE you can run is IE5.5. Andrea Borman.
Who is still using IE6?
I work for a J&J company in field sales and we just got NEW x220T's with XP and IE6! I guess for many of the reasons in this article: Expensive for whole organization (even though they just sent us new IPads for sales interactions, plus the the new Thinkpads for administrative duties), old software programs still in use, and controlling our use on "off task" browsing. But I have to say for many of us in the past this was our ONLY computer and not being compatible with websites where you make online payments, etc., was a huge inconvenience. So we've just had to accept that we have to have our own personal laptops or PC's that have software and browsers that are in the 21st Century! I'll certainly be glad when 2014 gets here!

Having a public health clinic on the grounds of the new Alberta Elementary School is not a good idea. The health clinic needs to find its own property and not compromise the safety of the students and teachers of Alberta. Wake up, City Hall and Tuscaloosa City Board of Education. This is too important.

Concerning the Sound Off about the homeless and hungry, that person hasn't been where I have been for the past three years. It is so hard to get help through food stamps and other agencies because there are so many people in need. I lost my house and job. My whole world has been turned around. You stand in line for hours and hours for one little box of food. This person needs to be praying and volunteering to help instead of putting down people in need.

A 40,000-year-old race of snake people resurface, and with help of Serpentor, Destro, Baroness and Dr. Mindbender, plan to eliminate all of mankind and rebuild Cobrala. Once rulers of Earth, the Snake people were driven underground by ice-age temperatures. While in exile, they developed a plant whose spores turn ordinary men into mindless, weak animals. The key to their plan is G.I. Joe's secret project - the Broadcast Energy Transmitter. Only this device generates enough heat so that the spores can mature. Humankind's very existence depends on G.I. Joe, but are they strong and smart enough to fight a warrior race with 40,000 years of experience? Created in the 1980s at the height of the G.I. Joe craze, this cult classic was broadcast in syndication and released direct to video. Out of print since 2005, it had sold over 80,000 (videoscan) based on momentum of the series and brand alone - before a new feature had started filming. This is the first time this fan-favorite will be available on Blu-ray. Includes Standard DVD Copy of the Feature Film.. Price: $18.39

The 3rd annual Base 2 Base March commenced on May 21, with four dozen participants undertaking a 22-hour, 47-mile ruck march from the Delaware Air National Guard headquarters in New Castle to the Dover Air Force Base. And the money raised - over $1000 this year alone - goes to the USO!
"I would love for deployed servicemembers to see we are thinking of them every day," Tech. Sgt. David Jackson told Master Sgt. Jake Chappelle of 512th AW Public Affairs. "We may be bruised and blistered today, but they do this all the time. This (Base 2 Base March) is just a way of showing our appreciation for what they do."
"The USO Delaware is thrilled that Sergeant Jackson has honored us with his Base 2 Base March," said Joan Cote, USO Delaware director. "It brings awareness about the USO and also provides funding to support his military peers. It's pretty remarkable that this Air Force member takes time away from his family life after a hectic work schedule to coordinate and complete this incredible event year after year. I don't think many people realize what a difficult task the march is. That's pretty impressive."
This event would not have been possible without the dedicated walkers, volunteers, and other folks who made it possible. It was tough going at times, but those who completed the walk all crossed the finish line together, showing that teamwork and support make anything possible. Way to go!

Enrich Your Soil
The Key To A Beautiful Lawn
The most important key to a beautiful, healthy green lawn lies hidden just below the surface. Often ignored and abused, the soil itself plays an important role in the success or failure of the lawn it supports. A fertile, live soil will take the frustration out of maintaining a great lawn and will decrease the amount of time you put into it.
Soil compaction is a major problem with Northwest lawns today. Compacted soil prevents water and fertilizer from reaching the root zone and results in moss or weed invasion and a weak lawn with a general poor appearance….the usual regimen of more water, more fertilizer and more herbicide will not solve the problem.
Dead soil is another major problem with lawns. Improper lawn care practices such as cutting lawns too short and not leaving the clippings have contributed to dead soil which is devoid of humus and microbiotic activity. Try growing your vegetable garden under those conditions. Now you're getting the picture! Bring the dead soil back to life and your rewards will be lower maintenance and an attractive green lawn that enhances the environment.
Step #1: Core-aeration.
Core-aeration is to lawns what rototilling is to vegetable gardens. It is the only method to effectively improve your lawn's soil without destroying the grass. Holes, created by core-aeration, provide easy access to the root zone and provide the opportunity to make the soil more 'lawn friendly'.
Step #2: Backfill the holes with organic fertilizer, lime and Turface Soil Modifier.
The organic fertilizer will provide long-term nutrition for the lawn, as well as stimulate the growth of micro- organisms, necessary for healthy plant growth. Nutrients remain in the root zone longer when the soil contains organic matter. The most important step following core-aeration is to top-dress the lawn with Turface Soil Modifier. Turface is a soil amendment made from porous ceramic which creates permanent pore space in the soil. It won't compact. Within these new pore spaces, roots grow, air, water and nutrients are stored, and microbes live inside the tiny porous granules.
These two steps will put life back into your soil, allowing your lawn to thrive and look beautiful without the usual frustrations. Remember to treat your lawn as you would your vegetable garden, with yearly soil enrichment from organic fertilizers and soil modifiers made possible through core-aeration.

SIKESTON - Sikeston firefighters will soon sport new self-contained breathing apparatus.
The purchase of all new SCBA units for Department of Public Safety firefighters was approved by City Council members during their regular meeting Monday.
Director of Public Safety Drew Juden said this marks "the first time in the history of the department" that "wholesale replacement" of the self-contained breathing gear was possible due to the award of a Fire Act Grant.
The 35 SCBA units the department has now are 12 years old and in need of replacement, Juden said.
The purchase also upgrades the department from low pressure to high pressure units which will enable firefighters to stay in hazardous environments longer.
The cost for the new 35 and 70 spare bottles is $156,380. With the addition of radio interface for 20 units, the cost is $169,828 or about $166,544 with the trade in of the old equipment.
Juden said trading in the old equipment is a better choice than selling or donating to a smaller agency "due to liability," although he advised selling the 81 spare bottles for the old system would be a way to help out another agency and lower the city's out-of-pocket cost.
The city had previously budgeted $175,000 for this purchase with $100,000 coming from the Fire Act Grant.

The murder trial of a former Rochester police captain who fatally shot his son in Old Forge last summer has been postponed until next year.
Michael Leach, 59, was due to begin trial in Herkimer County Court on Nov. 18, but that would not have left enough time for prosecution experts to mentally evaluate Leach.
On Friday, Judge John Crandall granted the prosecution's request to adjourn the trial, but did not set a new trial date until both sides have a better idea how much pre-trial preparations still need to be done.
Leach will return to court on Tuesday, Dec. 10, to report the progress.
Herkimer County District Attorney Jeffrey Carpenter is asking that the judge prevent Leach from arguing a psychiatric defense at trial based on timeliness. Leach's attorney, Joseph Damelio, waited too long to alert the court that he planned to argue Leach was suffering from post-traumatic stress and sleep disorders when he awoke and shot his son, Matthew, in a Clarks Beach Motel room on July 21, 2012, Carpenter argued.
But Crandall indicated he was likely to allow the defense, and encouraged Carpenter to begin arranging for Leach to be evaluated by a prosecution expert.
Leach has already been evaluated by several defense experts, and they will likely be called to testify at trial.
Leach, who at the time was a part-time officer with the Perry Police Department, has said he believed his son was an intruder when he abruptly woke up and fired his duty weapon into the dark inside their motel room.
Prosecutors are also seeking additional records from the defense, including a list of all the prescribed medications Leach has taken since 1974 and all of the documents that a private defense investigator turned over to one of the psychiatrists who evaluated Leach.
Among the items the private investigator uncovered: Newspaper articles from Rochester regarding a 1975 incident when Leach shot and killed a teenage girl while on duty as a rookie officer, as well as news coverage of various home invasions from 2010 to 2012.
As far as the list of Leach's medications, Leach's attorney is questioning whether it's necessary for prosecutors to know every medication Leach has ever taken since the 1970s. Crandall, however, said he wasn't in a position to decide which medications were pertinent to the case.
"I'm not a psychiatrist or a psychologist, so I don't know what might or might not be important to someone examining the defendant," Crandall said.

The Role of the United States Military Lawyer in Projecting a Vision of the Laws of War
Kenneth Anderson
American University - Washington College of Law; Stanford University - The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace; Brookings Institution - Governance Studies
Chicago Journal of International Law, Vol. 4, No. 2, Fall 2003
This article discusses the role of the United States military lawyer in projecting a moral vision of the laws of war, rather than simply acting in a technical and purely lawyerly fashion. The article argues that it is essential that US military lawyers acting in laws of war matters, and especially acting in diplomacy related to laws of war treaties, be willing to project the moral vision which underlies US military interpretations of the laws of war, beyond pure legalism, in order to compete with the moral visions of the laws of war expressed by human rights and other nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) who, believing that they represent humanity in the abstract, rather than some set of parochially national interests, therefore believe that the interpretation, enunciation, evolution, and ownership of the laws of war properly belongs to NGOs and not to military establishments, and not to the US military establishment in particular. The article considers the cases of the Ottawa convention banning landmines, the International Criminal Court debates, and the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo to critique the failure of US military lawyers to assert a moral vision of the laws of war that goes beyond mere national interest or the interest of the United States as a client. It concludes with a call for US military lawyers and their institutional government client to find a role for military lawyers to express a moral vision based around the core concept of the protection of noncombatants, and move beyond mere legalism.

A lawyer for the women, Meyer Fishman, said Michaella McCollum of Northern Ireland and Melissa Reid of Scotland received the sentences Tuesday after taking advantage of an "early termination" process that brought reduced sentences in exchange for collaborating with authorities.
Prosecutors have said the women could have faced up to 15 years in prison.
Prosecutor Gustavo Carbajal said the court also ordered them to pay $3,500 in civil reparations.
The women were arrested on Aug. 6 at Lima's airport as they tried to board a flight for Madrid.

Rapid GDP growth is the best antidote for poverty. That is the big message that comes blaring out of the poverty data for 2009-10. Record GDP growth of 8.5% per year between 2004-05 and 2009-10 has reduced poverty at a record rate of 1.5 percentage points per year, double the 0.7 percentage points per year in the preceding 11 years.
There can be no better refutation of the leftist myth that fast growth has benefited only a small rich coterie while bypassing the poor.

J.P. Morgan Earnings: Four Themes to Watch
Earnings results are in! J.P. Morgan EPS came in at $1.28, higher than expected. The company said mortgage-related losses are still a serious drain, a sign that the U.S. housing market isn't done inflicting pain on the financial world. Click HERE for more.
EPS estimate: $1.16 a share
Revenue outlook: $25.3 billion
Earnings release: 7 a.m. ET
Conference call: 9 a.m. ET. Webcast HERE
Be sure to check back to Deal Journal for continuing coverage of J.P. Morgan earnings.
J.P. Morgan on Wednesday morning will be the first bank to report results for the first quarter of 2011, setting the tone for the country's biggest financial institutions. And in a word, the tone for banks is expected to be: Blah.
The economy still isn't great, which is weighing on consumers' willingness to take out loans. Losses on prior soured loans are improving, but at a slower pace than in prior quarters. And costs are going up. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. said in a research report it expects first-quarter revenue to decline 16% industry wide from a year earlier, but to improve from the fourth quarter.
Four Themes to Watch:
1) Best of a bad bunch? J.P. Morgan may be the head of the laggards. "It appears the company is widely expected to do better than peers, especially in terms of continuing to grow its business via client acquisition," Cowen & Co. said in a research note.
2) Heck, We'll Loan You Money: J.P. Morgan's message: we're open for business. Come here and take out some money. Expect J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to sing praises for the industry, and to beg people to come to his bank branches. Commercial loans should be a highlight for the first quarter, Raymond James said in a recent research note.
3) Litigation expense: In the fourth quarter, J.P. Morgan set aside a surprise $1.5 billion to cover possible legal losses on fizzled mortgage loans and other items. Dimon recently said in his company's annual shareholder letter that mortgage-related issues will take years to resolve, and that J.P. Morgan is going to "make a dedicated effort to describe in detail what we do, how we do it, what the right things to do are, what the mistakes we made are and how we will rectify them."
4) Investment Banking: Analysts are saying that J.P. Morgan's investment bank could be a pleasant surprise. The bank is leading the league tables—the rankings of bankers based on the value of mergers and acquisitions on which they advised. In the fourth quarter, the investment bank was the company's most profitable unit, with $1.5 billion in net income and a 26% jump in revenue. The investment bank revenue should somewhat help offset sluggish fixed-income trading.

Mazda shows first images of redesigned 2014 Mazda6
Mazda released some partial photos of its re-engineered and redesigned 2014 Mazda6 today before its official debut late next month at the Moscow International Automobile Salon. The new midsize sedan will be the second Mazda to incorporate Skyactiv technology, which is an engineering platform for fuel efficiency, performance and design. The new CX-5 compact crossover was the first Mazda to use Skyactiv engineering.
The Mazda6 on view at the show will be a Russian-specification model, Mazda said, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission (the same powertrain available in the CX-5). It also debuts what Mazda calls "i-ELOOP," a capacitor-based regenerative braking system, which in stop-and-go traffic will improve fuel economy by up to 10- percent, the company said in a release.
The capacitor temporarily stores large volumes of electricity that can be charged and discharged rapidly, Mazda says, and unlike batteries the capacitor isn't prone to deterioration through repeated use. 'i-ELOOP' – "Intelligent Energy Loop" – converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into electricity as it decelerates, and uses the stored electricity to power the climate control, audio system and numerous other electrical components including for the engine and transmission.
Mazda will release more information Aug. 29 and it will show the full Mazda6 line at the Paris Motor Show in September.

NEW DELHI: A government body has recommended that state-run BSNL should merge its counterpart MTNL and telecom equipment manufacturer ITI with itself, a move that will help turn around the loss-making telecom giant.
"The board strongly recommends the merger of ITI Ltd with BSNL, or its takeover by BSNL as a separate subsidiary, thereby ensuring strategic vertical integration. This should enable BSNL to combine service-providing with manufacture of products," the Board for Reconstruction of Public Sector Enterprises (BRPSE) said in a note.

Here's a link to an example of what I'm talking about:
Almost every time I make a new post in this category, I use the same table information. At first everything looks perfect, but if I go back to it a few days later, it comes out looking like this. The table columns span the width of my entire website, instead of staying in their own 700px wide table.
And see there's this example, which is the minority in this case, where everything still looks fine. The table columns are the right width and don't spill over.
It has the exact same table code. I have no idea what's happening, and can't figure out what's wrong. Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to keep it from happening in the future.
