Learn about stoma types
and what to expect
before surgery
It's natural to have a lot of questions before stoma surgery. Having an operation is hard physically and can be an emotional experience. Being well prepared can help you to know what to expect. This section covers questions many people have on ostomy surgery as well as providing information on support and community.

A stoma is the result of an operation to remove disease such as cancer, Crohn's disease or diverticulitis - or from a bowel obstruction or injury to the digestive or urinary system. It is an artificial opening that allows faeces or urine either from the intestine or from the urinary tract to pass.
There are three main types of stoma related to the digestive and urinary system - these are: colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy.
In a colostomy operation, part of your colon is brought to the surface of your abdomen to form the stoma. A colostomy is usually created on the left-hand side of your abdomen. Stools in this part of the intestine are solid and, because a stoma has no muscle to control defecation, will need to be collected using a stoma pouch.There are two different types of colostomy surgery: End colostomy and loop colostomy.End colostomyIf parts of your large bowel (colon) or rectum have been removed, the remaining large bowel is brought to the surface of the abdomen to form a stoma. An end colostomy can be temporary or permanent. The temporary solution is relevant in situations where the diseased part of the bowel has been removed and the remaining part of the bowel needs to rest before the ends are joined together. The permanent solution is chosen in situations where it is too risky or not possible to re-join the two parts of the intestine.Loop colostomyIn a loop colostomy, your bowel is lifted above skin level and held in place with a stoma rod. A cut is made on the exposed bowel loop, and the ends are then rolled down and sewn onto the skin. In this way, a loop stoma actually consists of two stomas (double-barrelled stoma) that are joined together. The loop colostomy is typically a temporary measure performed in acute situations. It can also be carried out to protect a surgical join in the bowel.
In an ileostomy operation, a part of your small bowel called the ileum is brought to the surface of your abdomen to form the stoma. An ileostomy is typically made in cases where the end part of the small bowel is diseased, and is usually made on the right-hand side of your abdomen.Stools in this part of the intestine are generally fluid and, because a stoma has no muscle to control defecation, will need to be collected in a pouch.There are two different types of ileostomy surgery:End ileostomyAn end ileostomy is made when part of your large bowel (colon) is removed (or simply needs to rest) and the end of your small bowel is brought to the surface of the abdomen to form a stoma. An end ileostomy can be temporary or permanent.The temporary solution is relevant in situations where the diseased part of the bowel has been removed and the remaining part needs to rest before the ends are joined together. The permanent solution is chosen in situations where it is too risky or not possible to re-join the two parts of the intestine.Loop ileostomyIn a loop ileostomy, a loop of the small bowel is lifted above skin level and held in place with a stoma rod. A cut is made on the exposed bowel loop, and the ends are then rolled down and sewn onto the skin. In this way, a loop ileostomy actually consists of two stomas that are joined together.The loop ileostomy is typically temporary and performed to protect a surgical join in the bowel. If temporary, it will be closed or reversed in a later operation.
If your bladder or urinary system is damaged or diseased and you are unable to pass urine normally, you will need a urinary diversion. This is called a urostomy, an ileal conduit or a Bricker bladder.
An isolated part of the intestine is brought onto the surface of the right-hand side of your abdomen and the other end is sewn up. The ureters are detached from the bladder and reattached to the isolated section of the intestine. Because this section of the intestine is too small to function as a reservoir, and there is no muscle or valve to control urination, you will need a urostomy pouch to collect the urine.
After surgery, your stoma may be quite swollen to begin with, but will reduce in size over time – usually after six to eight weeks.No sensation, no pain
A stoma is red in colour. This is because it is a mucous membrane, just like the mucous membrane inside your mouth. There is no sensation in the stoma, so it is not at all painful to touch. The stoma can bleed a little when being cleaned, especially in the beginning, but this is quite normal, and should stop shortly afterwards.
Stomas come in all different shapes and sizes - some are quite short and sit flat against the belly, while some protrude a little. Some people will have more than one stoma, depending on their condition.
No matter what type of ostomy you have, all the output from the stoma must be collected in a secure and convenient way. That's where your ostomy pouch comes in. These are designed to adhere to the skin on your abdomen around your stoma and collect the output.
The design of your ostomy pouch will depend on whether you have a colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy. Your stoma care nurse will show you which one is right for you, but the overwhelming majority of pouches are secure and discreet. Nobody will know you're wearing one unless you decide to tell them.
Although it can be difficult at first to accept the fact that you will have to wear an ostomy pouch on your stomach, you should soon start to realise that it's possible to live much as you did before.
How often you change or empty your pouch depends on the type of stoma you have:
The stomachWhen you eat, the food travels down a long, narrow tube called the food pipe into your stomach. Here, the food is churned into smaller pieces and your digestive juices turn it into liquid.The small bowelsThe journey continues as the contents of your stomach move into the small bowel (ileum), where digestion finishes. Your body absorbs the nutrients it needs for energy, growth and building new cells and channels these into the bloodstream.The large bowelWhen all nutrition has been absorbed, the remains move into the large bowel (colon), where your body absorbs more fluid to make the waste more solid. The muscles in your colon wall then push any waste forward into your rectum, where it passes out of your body through your anus, with the aid of the sphincter muscles, as stool.
In a colostomy operation, part of your large bowel (colon) is brought to the surface of your abdomen to form a stoma (opening). A colostomy is usually made on the left-hand side of your abdomen, but may in some circumstances be on the right-hand side. When a colostomy is made on your abdomen it alters the usual way you go to the toilet to pass faeces. Instead of coming out through your anus, your faeces will pass through the stoma. The passing of faeces is usually controlled by a special sphincter muscle in the anus. However, the main difference for you when you have a stoma, is that you are no longer able to hold on to or have control over, when you need to pass faeces. You also do not have any control over when you pass wind or flatus.
In an ileostomy operation, part of your small bowel (ileum) is brought to the surface of your abdomen to form a stoma (opening). An ileostomy is usually made on the right hand side of your abdomen, but may in some circumstances be on the left hand side. When an ileostomy is made on your abdomen, it alters the usual way you go to the toilet to pass faeces. Instead of coming out through your anus, your faeces will pass through the stoma. The passing of faeces is usually controlled by a special sphincter muscle in the anus. However, the main difference for you when you have a stoma, is that you are no longer able to hold on to or have control over, when you need to pass faeces. You also do not have any control over when you pass wind or flatus.
Urine is made by your kidneys and travels down two tubes called the ureters to your bladder. Urine is produced all the time, but it is stored in your bladder until you get a sense that you need to urinate. The urine then passes out of your body through the urethra.UrostomyWhen a urostomy is made, it alters the usual way you pass urine. A passage is made for urine to pass from your kidneys to the outside of your abdomen, ending in a small spout. This is called a stoma (opening). Instead of coming out through your urethra, your urine will pass through the stoma. The passing of urine is usually controlled by a special muscle in the urethra. However, the main difference for you when you have a stoma, is that you are no longer able to hold on to or have control over, when you need to pass urine.
After your stoma operation you will need some time to recover. This is perfectly normal, and the time needed will vary from person to person. Your stoma will change in the first weeks following surgery, in terms of both size and output. Also, you might lose or gain weight in these weeks.Getting started with a pouchHaving a stoma means you have no control over when you defecate or, in the case of a urostomy, when you urinate. This means that you always need to wear a pouch to collect your output.Healthy skinIn order for your pouch to adhere properly, it is very important to keep the skin around your stoma healthy. When the pouch is attached correctly, there is no risk of smell from your stoma and less risk of skin irritation. Before you leave hospital, you will be trained in how to choose and manage your stoma pouch and how to take care of your skin.What about food and drink?In general you can eat and drink as normal. Try to see how your stoma reacts to different foods. Your stoma care nurse or surgeon will advise if you need to take special precautions.In general, your stoma is no hindrance to working, socialising, playing sports, travelling or other hobbies. Your general state of health – physically as well as mentally – will play a big role in determining your quality of life as you move forward.Talk about itNothing is more helpful than someone who really understands what you are going through. You are certainly not alone – the number of people with a stoma worldwide is 1.9 million. Local patient organisations and online support groups offer support through meetings and online chats, to get handy tips, inspiration and personal support.

We're here to help you live a better life by helping you do more of the things you like to do.
Generally, with a colostomy you will need to use a closed bag. But if the output from your stoma is particularly fluid, a drainable bag may be more appropriate. You may want to move away from the clear bag fitted immediately after your operation to an opaque version that could also be smaller. Also if you have had an end colostomy, you may be able to manage your stoma with a colostomy plug or irrigation.
There are two main types of systems:

There are many different types of bag available, and your specialist stoma nurse will be able to help you choose the most appropriate one. You may want to move away from the clear bag fitted immediately after your operation to an opaque version that comes in smaller sizes. Also, you may choose to use a night drainage bag when you get home. There are two main types of systems:
When I was pregnant with my second child, I knew that I had bowel cancer. You know your body, you know if something is wrong, and I knew. This feeling combined with textbook symptoms and a basic knowledge of bowel cancer due to a strong family history (my mother, grandmother and great-grandfather all died from bowel cancer) left me convinced it was the only thing it could be. Even so getting a diagnosis was not as easy as it should have been.
I had been getting rectal bleeding on and off, since around 2006. Over the years I had visited various GPs but they always said the same, that I was too young to have bowel cancer and if the bleeding went, there was nothing to worry about. The bleeding stopped so I breathed a massive sigh of relief, swiped the sweat from my brow and went on in the blissful ignorance that not thinking about things like 'your health' brings. I now know that the bleeding was polyps in the colon which bleed intermittently and grow into cancerous tumours. With the benefit of hindsight this was the beginning of my body developing cancer cells and could have probably been dealt with in the early stages if my initial concerns and symptoms had been taken seriously at the time.
The rectal bleeding and pain became intolerable during my second pregnancy. After what can only be described as an argument with a GP, I was finally referred for a flexi-sigmoid (camera up the rectum) which is as pleasant as it sounds! I remember thinking that it would be the worst thing in the world and now I know that there are much worse things, like chemotherapy, so everything in perspective, people! Going into the hospital for the test was awful, but they found the cancerous tumour straight away and further tests were immediately arranged. I was far from a shocked when the consultant told me he had found a tumour and he believed it was cancerous. The consultant kept saying, I'm sure this comes as a massive surprise to you, I said, "no, not really"! The consultant was shocked, as was the nurse, they kept repeating that they had never met anyone my age with bowel cancer, it was unheard of, things like that. Well if you are going to have cancer, might as well make yourself a medical marvel at the same time! I ended trying to comfort them, was very strange, but if you have cancer you will probably find that looking after the person you've just told, happens a lot.
Further CT, MRI and PET scans showed the cancer was as advanced and severe as it could be without being terminal. My surgeon would later tell me she thought I had cancer for around 4 years (meaning through both my pregnancies) and if I had waited even another 6 months there would have been nothing they could do. It was so far spread that I needed what the doctors kept calling 'radical treatment'. This included three months of chemotherapy, months of daily radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. Followed by a 12 hour operation to remove a large part of the colon, all the surrounding muscle and tissue, the pelvic floor muscles, the rectum and the back wall of the vagina including surrounding muscle and tissue, all just to remove the cancer. Next they were removing my core stomach muscles on one side (I know I never had a 6 pack before but it's kind of nice that I can blame this now!), threading them through my pelvis so a team of plastic-surgeons rebuild certain areas with that muscle. One of the many joys of having surgery to remove cancer is that is can cause cancer (one of life's quirks) so surgery was followed by another three months of chemotherapy. Overwhelming? Yes. Do-able? Absolutely! I was determined to rid my body of this disease and actually couldn't wait to get started, knowing every bout of chemo would be killing more of the disease.
The reality of my treatment wasn't quite that positive. I found it impossibly hard and there were moments when I wanted to give up. I know there is no 'good' time to have cancer but I did feel particularly unlucky to have it with a 3 month and 2-year-old. I felt like I missed most of my daughter's first year. After getting to spend every moment with my son when he was a baby, this was really difficult for me. I missed the first time she rolled over and sat up; the nanny who we were forced to hire enjoyed these moments. I will always remember fondly that when my daughter stood up and lifted her leg as if to take her first step, our nanny quickly pushed her over before she could, and carried her around for the rest of the day so that I wouldn't miss it – bless! And I was there to see it. When I was finding it hard, my husband used to say; "she doesn't care if you see her roll over for the first time or not, she cares that you are alive, to be with her and watch her grow up."
I knew that come the end of treatment if everything went well I would no longer have cancer but I would have… …infertility, early menopause (at 31 years old) and a permanent colostomy bag. Truth be told, I struggled with finding out I needed a colostomy more than finding out I had cancer – cancer I could deal with, this I couldn't. I thought it was the absolute worst thing that could happen to me and I went into a very strange denial about the ostomy, praying it wouldn't happen. I actually said if I didn't have kids I would prefer to die than have a colostomy - this sounds so over-dramatic now but I have heard other people who need colostomy's say the same thing. I only wish I could go back to my pre-operation person now and tell her that it wasn't going to be anything near as bad as she is expecting.
I have never hidden the fact I have a colostomy but I didn't used to be overly vocal about it either. Why? Embarrassment essentially. It still has a terrible stigma and I was beset with fears about the things I wouldn't be able to do and what people would think when they found out. My worst fear bring that people would think that it/I was minging. A fear that derived completely from my own thoughts and perceptions about it what living with a colostomy meant.
I was also worried about what it would be like for my children. I was worried about the possibility of them getting teased at school when their friends found out, or they would think I was strange. I was upset at the thought of never getting to go swimming with them. The truth is, swimming is no problem at all (as I have spoken about here), and they think it's normal. My son asked me recently if all mummy's have them, obviously I said no and explained that I have one to stop me getting very sick again and he was more than happy with that.
The bigger picture of why someone has an ostomy can get forgotten. In my case, it means that I no longer have cancer. In other people's cases, they no longer have a life-threatening and debilitating illness. One person told me how her surgeon told her 'either you have a bag or end up in a bag'. Although this wasn't delicately put, it serves well to remind us that it is what someone is facing going into ostomy surgery. Without this operation, they will die. Yet to some (myself included) having it is still unbearable. As I said before, I thought if I didn't have kids I wouldn't go through with the operation (I will always laugh thinking of my sister saying, "what about me, aren't I worth living for?!")
The thought of having an ostomy is immeasurably worse than the reality. I never thought I would get used to it, yet only a few months after surgery I was telling someone who needed a colostomy that it was nothing to be afraid of and I was managing okay. I was shocked as the words came out of my mouth, I couldn't believe I had said it and that was when I realised – it was true! I could do this, I was, doing this. Do I wish I didn't have it? Yes. But on the whole is it perfectly manageable and there is nothing that I did before that I can't do now.
I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 1990 at just 19 years of age. During the next 15 years, I continued to have several hospitalisations and was in a great deal of pain until in 2008 I had an ileostomy. The early days after the operation of getting your head round how you look, how other people see you, having to try and find the right products that work for you can be hard going, but there really is light at the end of the tunnel.My Stoma Care Nurse helped me deal with each stage of the problems I was encountering and based on those problems, suggested a different product to try. It took time but I got there in the end! I now have a combination of products that really work for me. The biggest advantage for me having an ileostomy is now being able to go for walks free from pain, to be able to give my boys a piggy back without having to give up only after a few seconds because of the excruciating pain – and also to be able to do something as simple as a handstand – something I didn't think twice about in my teens yet for a good half of my life I was in too much pain to even consider doing such a thing.A stoma is a tough thing to have to come to terms with but with some positive thinking and by asking for the appropriate help, I have every confidence that everyone in a similar position can get there – like I did."

Wadi Hamam Excavations
Main Page

The Staff
Khirbet Wadi Hamam, a Roman-period village, is located in the eastern Lower Galilee above the Wadi Arbel (Hamam) gorge, two kilometers west of the Sea of Galilee. The site is situated in a scenic location – beneath the massive cliffs of Mt. Nitai and opposite the cliffs of Mt. Arbel. One of the largest villages in the area during the Roman period, its ancient remains cover some 50 dunams. A large spring beneath the site and the proximity to the ancient route that led from the Sea of Galilee to central Galilee and to the Mediterranean coast can explain the development of such a big settlement here. An archaeological project at Khirbet Wadi Hamam began in 2007, directed by Dr. Uzi Leibner of the Hebrew University's Institute of Archaeology. One of the main research objectives of the project is to shed new light on the highly-debated issue of dating "Galilean"-type synagogues. While the art and architecture of this group of synagogues belongs to the Roman period, some scholars have lately been claiming that these buildings were in fact built during the Byzantine period— mainly in the 5th-6th centuries. This issue is of great importance for understanding the religious, cultural, economic, and even political world of Galilean Jewry in antiquity.
In an attempt to gain a picture of rural life in Roman Galilee, excavations are also being carried out in residential and industrial areas of the ancient village. Other research objectives are to expand our understanding of decline processes that effected Galilean settlements
during the early Byzantine period and to clarify the purpose of a massive fortification located above the site and its relation to the village.
A unique mosaic synagogue floor with depictions of biblical episodes was a major find in previous seasons. Other interesting finds were a massive destruction layer in a residential structure which buried the entire household (including weapons and a hoard of coins from the days of Hadrian); houses with passages to underground chambers; oil lamps; pottery vessels and hundreds of coins.

PITTSBURGH, March 26, 2004 The University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences has formed a new organization to promote and manage entrepreneurial and business development opportunities that come from scientific research taking place across the full spectrum of the university's six schools of the health sciences.
Carolyn E. Green, former director of the Limbach Entrepreneurial Center (LEC) at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is leading the new Office of Enterprise Development, which is part of the university's Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor, Health Sciences. Existing LEC operations will become an operating unit within the new organization with expanded services for faculty in the University of Pittsburgh's schools of Medicine, Dental Medicine, Nursing, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and Pharmacy and the Graduate School of Public Health. A Center for Business Development focusing on industry interactions also will be a part of the new office.
University of Pittsburgh Chancellor Mark Nordenberg hailed the initiative as another example of the university's broad-ranging efforts to improve Pittsburgh-area quality of life.
"This new office is another manifestation of the university's commitment to increasing our substantial economic impact on the region through the commercialization of our medical technologies. We are convinced that, over time, developments such as these will have great value as life sciences business generators," said Chancellor Nordenberg.
"The University of Pittsburgh's ranking among the top-most tier of institutions with respect to National Institutes of Health funding speaks to the quality as well as the quantity of research here," said Arthur S. Levine, M.D., senior vice chancellor, health sciences, and dean of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. "Mining these scientific discoveries for the unique business opportunities they represent is a natural progression for us that benefits not only the university, but the region as a whole."
As a founding director of the LEC with extensive business and management experience, Ms. Green has demonstrated her ability to foster partnerships between university faculty and the life sciences industry to promote appropriate commercialization of research, Dr. Levine noted.
"Research discoveries in the health sciences have the potential to move beyond the scientific community to ultimately improve human health," he said. "However, given that the average cost to bring a new drug to market is $800 million, it is imperative for academic medical centers such as the University of Pittsburgh to partner with industry for drug discovery."
A native of Pittsburgh and a 1987 Pitt graduate, Ms. Green said she relishes expanding her strategic focus on commercialization.
"We have an unprecedented opportunity to increase our impact locally and throughout the global life sciences community," she said. "This new office will expand faculty-centered commercialization activities now available through the LEC and combine them with a proactive, industry-focused business development initiative."
The new effort will continue to develop programs to support an entrepreneurial culture in the scientific community that is poised to take advantage of commercialization opportunities while remaining vigilant with respect to potential conflicts of interest, Ms. Green added.
"Our mission is to reward and retain faculty inventors, build closer ties to industry and promote economic growth in the region," she said.
"UPMC Health Ventures has worked closely with Ms. Green over the past several years in her role as director of the Limbach Entrepreneurial Center in the formation of companies such as ImmunoSite Inc.," said David Hall, director of UPMC Health Ventures, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's investing arm. "We are delighted to extend that interest to areas beyond cancer."

Prepare to see Zac Efron like you've never seen him before—in his underwear!
The erstwhile Troy Bolton stars in "Precious" director Lee Daniel's new "pulpy, sweaty" film, "The Paperboy" (out in limited release tomorrow), as the brother of a reporter (Matthew McConaughey) working to clear a man on death row, all while Zac romances said convict's lady love (Nicole Kidman).
It's a definite departure for the 24-year-old (you have heard all of those golden shower rumors, right?), but we're nonetheless intrigued to see him take on this more mature role. And thanks to our friends at MTV Canada, we're getting a first look at Zac's hunky character poster! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Sons of Anarchy Review: "Turning and Turning"Dan Forcella at . Comments
The buildup is killing me at this point.
Then again, can we really call this build up anymore? After this week's Sons of Anarchy, "Turning and Turning," SAMCRO has still yet to make their way to Belfast, and the day to day work of the Sons in Charming continues to feel unimportant.
What made things worse was that Gemma, who was responsible for a good chunk of the excitement the past few weeks, was handcuffed to a hospital bed the entire episode.
Speaking of Gemma, she's okay! Not that anyone was expecting her condition to be too serious when we returned, but it is still nice to see that she will be fine. Well other than the lifetime sentence she's facing for that double homicide that Stahl framed her for.
Oh yes, we all remember the great Agent Stahl don't we? She's back to her impressive ways of being the absolute worst. How does her partner, who should really just get back to bed, deal with how terrible this woman is at all times?
I mean, Gemma did kill someone, but because Stahl is so awful, I really felt for Gemma as she cried it out.
Thankfully the Irish in this week's episode were not Ashby and Jimmy O. I can actually understand Maureen and McGee when they speak. So his name is Mac McGee? Or does Maureen just call him Mac as a nickname for McGee? Either way it's a great name.I think what I wasn't enjoying about the Irish scenes in the early going is that none of the characters were very redeemable. With a more in depth look at McGee this week, I realized he was a pretty great dude, so I was therefore interested in how he was going to play out the situation. After he helped Maureen understand what she needed to do, they made some progress on getting SAMCRO to Belfast. At this point, I'll believe that Jax and company are going to Belfast when they're staring the old buildings in the face.
Another part of the Irish experience I enjoyed this week was the fact that they give major props to SAMCRO. "Members of the original charter are coming out here soon," Maureen told her daughter. At this point, I feel like part of the Redwood Originals, so when others look at them highly, I feel proud.
We have now arrived at the point in this review where I will rave about how sweet Jackson Teller is. The dude gets harder and harder as the weeks go by, as was showcased this week by his stick up of Jimmy O's number two.
But then he follows that up with what might end up being the smartest strategic move in series history. As he spelled out his plan to Stahl, hand delivering Jimmy O and all the details on the IRA gun running in return for the freedom of the club and Gemma, Jax was a complete stud. He smiled like he knew how awesome he was for making such a bold, but brilliant move. Is it bad that I sat and watched in awe of a fictional character? Yes it is. And because I'm so obsesses with this move, it will without a doubt blow up in his face next week.
And I, as well as others, were correct in thinking that Tara was indeed pregnant back in "Caregiver." She hasn't told anyone yet, but Gemma figured it out all on her own. Albeit, it took her longer than us, but that's to be expected.
Will they finally get to Belfast? Will Jax's deal with Stahl work? How will Gemma handle being cooped up in that hospital? What did you think of this episode?
Some Sons of Anarchy quotes from last night ...
Jax: It's you and me. We're all we got... June. | permalink
Maureen: I piss you off, I get smacked around. I piss off the army, I end up with my head squeezed off by a razor wire. | permalink
Gemma: Quite the secret queen lately.
Tara: Yeah, well I learned from the best. | permalink
Jax: You wanna go undercover Chucky?
Chucky: I accept that. | permalink
Gemma: There's not much more this bitch can do to me.
Clay: Don't underestimate her. She's been demoted, she's desperate.
Stahl: Hey I'm in the room kids. | permalink
Jax: When you talk to your boss, you let him know if I find out he's been lying about my son, I'm gonna track him down. I'm gonna beat the truth out of him. And then I'm gonna let Chibs cut him from ear to ear. | permalink

Gonzales at the Senate Judiciary Oversight Hearing
WASHINGTON, D.C. July 24, 2007
I have the great pleasure to work with over 100,000 dedicated public servants at the Department of Justice. I admire their dedication to the pursuit of justice for all Americans. The Department's many accomplishments are, in reality, their accomplishments. As Attorney General, I have worked with these fine men and women to keep our country safe from terrorists, our neighborhoods free from violent crime and, our children safe from predators. As my written statement explains in more detail, when it comes to keeping our neighborhoods safe and protecting our children the Department has made great progress. In my brief remarks this morning, I want to focus on the Department's number one priority—keeping our country safe from terrorists—and the urgent need for more help from Congress in this fight. As the recent National Intelligence Estimate as well as the attempted car bombings in London and Scotland demonstrate, the threat posed to America and its allies by Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups remains very strong. To respond effectively to this threat, it is imperative that Congress modernize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, known as FISA. Doing so is critically important to intelligence-gathering and makes plain sense. When Congress drafted FISA in 1978, it defined the statute's key provisions in terms of telecommunications technologies that existed at that time. As we all know, there have been sweeping changes in the way we communicate since FISA became law, and these changes have had unintended consequences on FISA's operation. For example, without any change in FISA, technological advancements have actually made it more difficult to conduct surveillance on suspected terrorists and other subjects of foreign intelligence surveillance overseas. In April, at the request of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the Director of National Intelligence transmitted a comprehensive FISA modernization proposal
to Congress. The proposal builds upon thoughtful bills introduced during the last Congress. The bill would accomplish several key objectives. Most importantly, the Administration's proposal restores FISA's original focus on protecting the privacy of U.S. persons in the United States. FISA generally should apply when conducting surveillance on those in the United States, but it should not apply when our Intelligence Community targets persons overseas. Indeed, it was advancements in technology and not any policy decision of Congress that resulted in wide-scale application of FISA and its requirement to go to court to overseas targets. This unintended consequence clogs the FISA process and thereby hurts national security and civil liberties. As amended, FISA's scope would focus on the subject of the surveillance and the subject's location, rather than on the means by which the subject transmits a communication, or the location where the Government intercepts the communication. FISA would become "technology neutral;" its scope would no longer be affected by changes in communications technologies. The bill would also fill a gap in current law by permitting the Government to direct communications companies to assist in the conduct of lawful communications intelligence activities that do not constitute "electronic surveillance" under FISA. This is a critical provision that is a necessary companion to any change in FISA's scope. Importantly, the Administration's proposal would provide a robust process of judicial review for companies that wish to challenge these directives. The Administration's proposal would also provide protections from liability to companies that are alleged to have assisted the Government in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The bill also streamlines the FISA application process to make FISA more efficient, while at the same time ensuring that the FISA Court has the information it needs to make the probable cause finding required. Finally, the Administration's proposal would amend the statutory definition of "agent of a foreign power" to ensure that it includes groups who are engaged in the international proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or who possess or are expected to transmit or receive foreign intelligence information while in the United States. FISA modernization is critically important and we urge the Senate to reform this critical statute as soon as possible. I am hopeful that this is an area where we can work together with the Congress and this Committee. I think we can find common ground on the central principles underpinning the Administration's proposal—and, in particular, on the fact that we should not extend FISA's protections to terrorist suspects located overseas. We already have had several helpful sessions with the Intelligence Committees in the Senate and House on this issue. We look forward to continue to work with the
Senate and this Committee on this important endeavor. Thank you. ###

Nona E. Rose Fall/Winter 2012 collection, styled and photographed by Liz Teich.
I've known the designer, Rachel Sax, of Nona E. Rose for nearly 15 years, since we met both studying fashion and art at RISD for a summer…before going to college together and becoming sorority sisters [insert joke here].
I love that I've watched her style develop over the years and now she's become one of the most creative and fashionable people I know. She's channeled that energy into her work over the years and most recently in her collection of belts—all made in NYC—inspired by vintage designs under the namesake of her stylish grandmothers, Nona E. Rose.
You may be sick of me talking about this line, but I'm a huge fan—and apparently I'm not the only one. Most recently, it got picked up by Henri Bendel and featured in numerous publications and blogs (other than my own!).
I felt so honored when Rachel came to me to not only style, but also photograph her latest collection. We gabbed over coffee while had fun playing with her vintage style, yet fresh pieces.
Lucky you. You can also enjoy the benefits of knowing Rachel and get 20% off on my picks from Nona E. Rose!

Produced by the EUA European Platform of Universities in Energy (EUA-EPUE) after the extensive three-year UNI-SET project, the Action Agenda promotes innovative education and research activities in the field and seeks to support the ambitions of many universities across Europe to strengthen their existing initiatives. It lists concrete examples and suggestions for education programmes in the fields of energy systems and smart grids, renewables integration, and energy efficiency. It also presents ideas for interdisciplinary education in energy, as social sciences and humanities are crucial, together with science and technology, in addressing such a complex and multi-layered challenge.
"Providing a reliable supply of clean and affordable energy raises complex social, political, economic and technical issues that must be addressed in unison," explains Torbjørn Digernes, Chair of the EUA-EPUE Platform. "Universities have a critical role to play in making that happen."
The Action Agenda also calls on policy makers, industry and society to share the responsibility and for close consideration of the link between the Energy Transition and the environment. The Action Agenda will be discussed in detail at the upcoming EUA Energy Clustering Event on 21 and 22 March 2018 at the Université de Lorraine in Nancy, France.
Also in the field of energy, EUA has published the UNI-SET Universities Survey report, which contains extensive information about energy research and education at Europe's universities. Forthcoming is a similar survey report focused on businesses.

The DropBook - 2014
New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane returns to the streets of Mystic River with this love story wrapped in a crime story wrapped in a journey of faith--the basis for the major motion picture The Drop, from Fox Searchlight Pictures directed by Micha#65533;l Roskam, screenplay by Dennis Lehane, and starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, and James Gandolfini.
Three days after Christmas, a lonely bartender looking for a reason to live rescues an abused puppy from a trash can and meets a damaged woman looking for something to believe in. As their relationship grows, they cross paths with the Chechen mafia; a man grown dangerous with age and thwarted hopes; two hapless stick-up artists; a very curious cop; and the original owner of the puppy, who wants his dog back. . . .
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
Bob leads a loser's life, tending a shabby bar, making sure the Chechens get their irregular betting drops, having mercy on an penniless elderly bar fly now and then. Then he rescues a badly battered puppy whimpering in a dumpster, and begins a tenuous friendship with the wary, battered girl who helps him.
I never expected this often harsh tale would end well, but surprisingly it does! Short, but engrossing, worthy of the read.
Kris--Pt. Roberts
It started like the samo samo. Old stuff, you know? In a way it stayed that way. Bar, bets, numbers, dangerous overlords. The end picked up speed but still... An old kind of story Westlake would have written way way back.
As I understand it, this is Dennis Lehane's novelization of his screenplay for the movie of the same name, based upon his short story "Animal Rescue." Prior the reading this book, I saw the film, which was stunning! I have watched it 4 times. Tom Hardy is absolutely brilliant in the role of Bob Saginowski. The editing of the film was a bit severe. I am sure that several critical scenes were left on the cutting room floor. Likewise, the novel seems to have some missing scenes. They each commit the sin of omission (none the less each on its own is a literary treasure), yet they complement each other so well that I urge you to both see the movie and read the book, in whichever order pleases your fancy! You will be rewarded as you find connections in the plot in each that were omitted in the other. I will now be following the books and films of Dennis Lehane.
A fairly entertaining evening read.
I love Dennis Lehane and have read and enjoyed almost all of his books. This book was wonderful. It was a great story, but Lehane made you sympathize with almost all of the characters, no matter how flawed. Superb!
Excellent. At first I was worried that the copyright is held by 20th Cen Fox, not the author. But then realized this is really a spin off of a screen play for a movie I haven't seen yet. Aside from that, this is the author at his best. Easily equal to "Gone Baby Gone" and "Mystic River", but much shorter. Great characterizations, very good dialogue, and an innovative plot.
really liked it--haven't seen the movie so don't know if thats good or bad
Short, taut, tense story with great dialogue. Back to the best of Lehane, after the disappointment of the last of the Kenzie/Gennaro books "Moonlight Mile" and the so-so "Live by Night".

The coach of a New York City basketball team has urged Jay-Z not to end his involvement with the club amid rumours the rapper will have to sell his shares so he can focus on launching a sports management company.
The hip-hop mogul owns just one 15th of a one per cent of a share in the Brooklyn Nets, but he was instrumental in re-branding the team and helping it move from New Jersey to a new home at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Jay-Z even helped design the players' uniform.
However, he is rumoured to be on the verge of giving up his investment in the team, said to be worth around $350,000, so he can focus on building his Roc Nation Sports management firm.
National Basketball Association (NBA) rules state no one associated with a player representation company can hold ownership in an NBA team, suggesting Jay-Z will have to give up his shares.
Brooklyn Nets coach P.J. Carlesimo has now spoken out about the rumours, and urged Jay-Z not to abandon the team.
He tells the New York Daily News, "I would say (Jay-Z) had an enormous amount to do with the re-branding of the team. I was not close to it at all, but from what I heard and what I read and saw, he was huge - it would be hard to overstate how important he was to the re-branding. So it would be disappointing (if he left the Nets). I would be disappointed. I like his involvement with our team."

Todd and his team did an incredible job in getting our home sold and helping us find a new one at the same time.
Throughout the entire process they were an excellent resource for us and helped find the perfect home for our family.
Not only did Todd Schroth help us buy our home 2.5 years ago but he also help sell it. Due to work relocation we didn't get to live there very long, but thankfully we knew of a great realtor who would help us get it back on the market and hopefully sold quickly. Todd first came by the house mid August to revisit the house and give some tips on how to get it ready for the market. Once the house was ready (about 2.5 wks later), his awesome marketing/photographer, Megan Siedzik, came and took beautiful pictures of the house. We packed up and left the state knowing that the house was in good hands, but always with a bit of concern of how long it would take to sell....especially since the busiest of the summer months had already passed and kids were back in school. The house, the day after we left, went on the market, and in only 3 short days was under contract with an offer of $15,000 OVER asking price! Hoo ray!! Todd has always been readily available and he will help save money whenever possible since he knows his real estate business. His laid back, but professional personality makes it super easy to work with him. Thank you Todd and team for your awesome work!
Angela and REMAX sold our home in very little time and helped with the entire process from start to finish. Angela also helped find a great new home for my brother, Rob, great find, location, and great price. Rob was able to close on the sale of our home and close on his new home on the same day. The process went very fast and easy on our part.
Todd very professional and extremely knowledgeable. I really like how Todd leverages all media types for maximum exposure. Also he made himself or one of his Team members available whenever we needed help or had a question. It's also very nice to work with someone who is well connected in the real estate industry.
Todd Schroth and team are professionals that get results. We worked with Todd to sell our home, and to purchase a new home. Initially we met with Todd in our home so he could review and provide recommendations on getting it ready to sale. He was very knowledgeable and made recommendations to ensure a timely sale at the right price. We implemented his recommendations and the house was sold at full asking price in three days with multiple offers!!!!!
Todd worked with us to find the perfect house. He was accessible and willing to show houses when it was convenient for us. Thanks to Todd we were able to view the home we purchased the day it hit the market. Todd provided guidance on what to include in the offer to ensure that we had a competitive offer. In fact, we submitted our offer on the same day the home hit the market and still found ourselves with offers competing against us. Thanks to Todd's real estate knowledge and guidance we were able to secure the winning offer.
In addition to providing outstanding real estate advice, Todd is a resource that should be utilized for all aspects of the buying and selling process. Todd was able to recommend a house cleaning service that made the house model home clean and ready to show. He recommended an insurance agent to secure a home owners policy that exceeded my expectations. Furthermore, his recommendation for a moving company was incredible. They were timely, professional, courteous, and honest. Also the moving company's final price after the move was completed was $750 UNDER their estimate.
A quality realtor does more than just list homes and show homes. They take the stress out of buying, selling, and moving. Todd and team does all of these things and more. We will be recommending Todd to friends and family.
We searched for the right home for us for a very long time. Worked with a few agents along the way. Finally decided Todd was the best choice for us as we felt he was the most knowledgeable and professional.
Ended up buying and selling our home with his help and have nothing but good things to say about Todd and his team. Thank you again.

While you are working to obtain your (B.Eng.) Major degree, you can also complete the requirements for an additional Minor program. This allows you to develop a certain expertise in another area of study which may, or may not, be linked to your Major program. Completion of a Minor usually adds about one term to your total studies at McGill.
As with the Major program, there are separate requirements for a Minor program and it will be shown on your official transcript. Each Minor has a certain credit requirement that you must fulfill before you can graduate from it. Sometimes you are allowed a certain amount of overlap between programs, so that you can use the same course(s) to count both for your Major and Minor. You can even complete several Minors while you are completing your Major if you so choose.
All details can be found in the McGill calendar. However, it is recommended that you discuss all options with your Academic Advisor.
Minor Programs at McGill
Some minor programs that might be of interest to BREE students are:
- Entrepreneurship - 24 credits
- Agricultural Production - 24 credits
- Environment and Ecological Agriculture - 24 credits
- Biotechnology - 21 credits
- Computer Science - 24 credits
- Construction Engineering and Management - 24 credits
- Environmental Engineering - 21 credits
Some special McGill courses and programs in environmental and water resources management are also available in other countries, e.g., Barbados and Panama. These are taught and administered by McGill and carry the same credits as courses taken here.
Programs taught outside of Canada
Inter-campus Transportation
Some of the courses for the minors and other programs are taught on McGill's main campus, in downtown Montreal. The inter-campus shuttle bus service makes it fairly easy to study on both campuses at the same time.

An Overview of Athletics at Susquehanna
Follow SU Athletics on Twitter

Follow SU Athletics on YouTube
(Team) Conference Champions and NCAA Championships Qualifiers
SU Athletics Makes National News
They Wore the Orange and Maroon
About Susquehanna University Athletics
Susquehanna offers 23 varsity sports programs, 12 women's and 11 men's, all of which compete in Division III of the NCAA. Men's and women's golf compete in the Empire 8 Athletic and Centennial Conferences, respectively, while every other team--with the exception of football--is a member of the Landmark Conference. Football is also a member of the Centennial.
These conferences afford the SU Athletics program the opportunity to compete with other well-known institutions while preserving the university's focus on institutional excellence, where athletics act as "a critical component of the undergraduate experience."
Mission Statement
SU Athletics helps the university attain its overall educational mission. Through instruction, counseling, physical conditioning and competition, the programs provide students with social and physical skills that lead to positive personal development. Gender equity, participation and competitive opportunity are primary goals. Central to the purpose of the programs are the development of a sense of fair play, sportsmanship, personal wellness and stimulation to academic inquiry and achievement.
The "River Hawks"
Susquehanna's newest tradition, beginning in fall 2016, is the River Hawk, the university's new nickname. Also known as the osprey, it shares many characteristics with our students—
- Distinctive
- Powerful
- Adaptive
- Resilient
And the river hawk always returns to Susquehanna. A migratory bird that travels great distances, the river hawk always finds its way back to these waters. And Susquehanna students know that no matter how far they go, this incredible place will always be their alma mater.
The "Crusaders"
Prior to 2016-17, Susquehanna was known as the "Crusaders, a nickname adopted in the 1920s when a new athletics director, Luther Grossman, inaugurated a new athletics policy at the university.
In the years following World War I, Susquehanna became briefly embroiled in "big-time" intercollegiate football, which in those days involved importing players who, strictly speaking, were neither students nor amateurs.
Grossman, however, was determined that SU field football teams that were truly representative of the student body and, furthermore, that an extensive intramurals program be developed to offer all SU students some opportunity to engage in athletic competition.
Grossman's campaign was termed a "Crusade," hence the nickname "Crusaders." The motto was "Sports for all and sports for sports' sake."
The Stagg Story
The Division III football championship game is named the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl after former Susquehanna coach Amos Alonzo Stagg Sr.
Stagg, the "Grand Old Man of Football," shared the SU head coach position with his son, Amos Jr., from 1947 to 1952.
During their six years as co-head football coaches for the Crusaders, the Staggs guided the program to a 21-19-3 record, although official NCAA records do not credit the elder Stagg with those 21 wins. If they were included, Stagg would be third on the NCAA's list of career coaching victories at the highest level with 335.
Both Staggs were inducted into the SU Sports Hall of Fame in 1968. The university's football field formally took on the name of Amos Alonzo Stagg Field on September 26, 1981.
Susquehanna dedicated busts of the coaching duo next to Stagg Field prior to its 2006 home opener.
Susquehanna football has incorporated two pieces of its storied history into annual "trophy" games against rivals Lycoming College and Juniata College.
Since 1993, SU has battled Lycoming for the "Stagg Hat Trophy," which is an actual fedora worn by Amos Sr. while he coached at Susquehanna. The hat was given by the elder Stagg to 1954 SU graduate and former assistant coach Rich Young, who donated it to the Sunbury (Pa.) Kiwanis Club to be bronzed and made into a trophy.
From 1960 to 1978, the Kiwanis Charities Festival was the Crusaders' first home game, and the winner took possession of the Stagg Hat Trophy for one year. After the Kiwanis game was discontinued, the "Old Hat" was returned to the trophy case at Susquehanna, where it remained until the Crusaders and Warriors began playing for it on an annual basis in 1993.
SU and Juniata have battled for the "Goal Post Trophy" since 1953. The trophy is a piece of goal post taken from SU's University Field by Juniata fans following their team's 12-7 upset of the Crusaders on Nov. 1, 1952.
Currently, Susquehanna holds a 26-23-1 edge in Goal Post Trophy games.
Susquehanna men's and women's soccer also compete for rivalry trophies each year with Lycoming. The men play for possession of "the Boot," a bronzed and mounted soccer-shoe trophy, while the women play for the "River Derby" Cup.
Susquehanna and Lycoming's softball teams also compete in an annual breast-cancer awareness game.

Casual-Sex Seekers Soar as "Apocalypse" Nears
As the Mayan apocalypse draws ever closer, humans prove that they're not going down without a fight. Or at least a last-minute hookup.
The New York Post reports that ads for casual sex are soaring in advance of doomsday.
The latest end of the world prediction is based on the ancient Mayan calendar and set to occur on the stroke of solstice, or 11:11 a.m. on Dec. 21, 2012. And while some prepare for the apocalypse by digging bunkers and arming themselves to the teeth, New Yorkers in particular seem to want to go out with a different kind of bang.
One casual encounter listing on Craigslist says "Looking for an end of the world sex partner!"—stipulating, of course, that there are no strings attached.
If any of these New Yorkers end up surviving doomsday, they'll have to deal with that awkward post-apocalyptic walk of shame.

Now here's a scary thought. Imagine you could look at the world through Eric Bristow's eyes? Well thanks to the wonders of modern technology, now you can!
Take a spin inside the jaded universe of the 5 times darts World Champ. For only £5.99 a month (£15.99 after the first month) you can experience Eric's nicotine growl in your head, day and night. Never be lonely again as Eric's unique world view permeates your own. Learn mind games from the master of psychological destruction.
That's the advertising copy. But actually it's entirely free, all you need is a twitter account and the wherewithal to find @RealEricBristow. It is worth your time.
Eric Bristow's twitter commentary was the best thing about the final spate of round two Grand Prix matches - aside from a high quality performance from Michael van Gerwen. Mighty Mike knocked out world champ Adrian Lewis to set up a quarter-final with Andy Hamilton.
This is Bristow's twitter profile, "Official Twitter account of 5 x World Darts Champion Eric Bristow. Tweets from management company and sometimes Eric himself."
Eric let his management company take the night off.
"To the many asking , If Nicholson wins this week I will live in the jungle"
Now this is a fine start. Not only a plug for his upcoming appearance on I'm a Celebrity, but an attack on his latest nemesis. When the Asset claimed in an interview at the World Championship that multiple titles lay in his future, Bristow let Nicholson have both barrels.
Never a wallflower, Bristow let him have it. Suffice it to say, Eric thought Nicholson should refrain from idle boasting - that's the polite way to put it.
Please let this hilarious rivalry continue for years to come?
When Nicholson's round two match with Colin Osborne turned out to be a snore-fest - Nicholson won the match 3-1 - Bristow wasn't shy telling his thousands of followers exactly how boring he thought it was.
"Hard work spotting this"
For the uninitiated, spotting is the craft of telling the TV director which out shots or combinations are coming up, to alert the TV cameras. Bristow is regarded as the best spotter in the business.
He's 55 years old, he's been on twitter for a very short time; but he's already mastered the intricacies of social media.
With those four words, "Hard work spotting this," dripping derision, we know exactly what he thinks. Succinct, to the point. He could teach a twitter masterclass. Expect to see him guest spot on the next series of the Apprentice: Eric Bristow, social media and marketing consultant.
And if that wasn't enough, Eric's follow up tweet put Nicholson on the carpet, "how bad was that game like watching bdo."
Perfect. Just perfect. He jabs Nicholson, then, just when you're not expecting it, trains his sights on the BDO - the rival darts organisation - flooring them with an uppercut. Sweet.
They should do Social Network 2: starring Ray Winstone as Eric Bristow. Most of the action would consist of Ray as Eric in a local hostelry, rollups on the table, goading Bobby George from the comfort of his own barstool.
Like this tweet to Bobby Dazzler last night, "@BobbyGeorge180 wanna pick your 4 winners for tonight bo bo and have a little wager on it , tenner?"
Look at that contemptuous nickname: Bo Bo. Eric's in his head. That's mind games, sucka.
In a bonkers tournament where seeds and big names have been dropping like flies, Eric takes to the stage for his final tweet of the day, bows to the assembled audience, delivers the coup de gras:
"my tip newton still going i am the man"
Yes, Eric. You are the man. Wez Newton is the highest ranked player remaining in the tournament.
I'm a Celebrity might actually be worth watching this year. If he can chew up Paul Nicholson like that, witchetty grubs will be a piece of cake.

As their dreams descend into nightmare, Rachel and Jacob are drawn into Bodie's dark world finding treachery and danger in the dreams of others
California (PRWEB) May 20, 2014
From the author of "Fighting Back," a book about a young man who works in the Civilian Conservation Corps in Yosemite in the 1930's, comes a fast-paced, intelligent Western that captures the historical diversity and dynamics that made the American West such a crucible of dreams and heroes. "More Than Gold" tells the story of old Bodie, where people are driven by their passions—both good and evil—willing to risk everything to gain their desires.
Bodie had earned its reputation as the meanest, deadliest gold town in California, but that did not stop people from flocking there with big dreams of wealth and freedom. When Jacob Lawton sold his Kansas farm and followed his vision to Bodie, Rachel and her two children went with him, hitched to Jacob's ambitions. But Rachel had secret desires of her own. As their dreams descend into nightmare, Rachel and Jacob are drawn into Bodie's dark world finding treachery and danger in the dreams of others.
Meanwhile, Bodie and its canyons hold many surprises . . . more than Rachel ever imagined . . . and she discovers there is something far more valuable than gold. Today, Bodie is a ghost town preserved as a California State Park. In December of 1879, Bodie was booming and thousands of people with gold fever swept into the small mining town, some full of hopes and ambitions for more than gold.
"More Than Gold" tells a story about people who want to do the right thing but find themselves mixed up in events and people that destroy their dreams and make them rebuild their lives. The novel is set in the Old West but it tells a tale that happens every day to people who strive to make their lives better.

Many approaches to creating Software Product Lines have emerged that are based on Model-Driven Engineering. This book introduces both Software Product Lines and Model-Driven Engineering, which have separate success stories in industry, and focuses on the practical combination of them. It describes the challenges and benefits of merging these two software development trends and provides the reader with a novel approach and practical mechanisms to improve software development productivity. The book is aimed at engineers and students who wish to understand and apply software product lines and model-driven engineering in their activities today. The concepts and methods are illustrated with two product line examples: the classic smart-home systems and a collection manager information system.Two alternative options must be provided for environmental control: (1) automatic windows and (2) air-conditioning. ...

February 12th, 2014LWAC: Accordion does not appear correctly
Knowledge Base support case for Likno Web Accordion Builder, abstracted and stripped of all user's private info.
Initial Email From: Todd
Initial Email Subject: Web Accordion Display Issue
Support Case Month: September 2013
Greetings! I have a problem with Web Accordion. The issue is demonstrated on the following page: {URL REMOVED}. I am seeking your assistance to know if this is a bug vs. something that I'm doing by somehow badly coding.
Walking past a co-worker's desk (using XP and IE 8), it would appear that:
1. An HTML bullet within an accordion pane appears to have become its own pane, and has replaced the separator (below in #2)
2. The separator that was between the 3rd and 4th pane has disappeared.
Using saucelabs.com, I was able to look at this page with different browsers and was able to confirm the issue first-hand. I was not able to view this issue at my desk using Windows 7 with both Chrome 29.0.1547.76 m and IE 10.0.9200.16686.
This is how it is supposed to look:
Instead, the Web Accordion looks like this:
Thank you for your help!
Reply From: Likno Customer Support
Hello Todd,
Well, this happens because you have some extra </li> that you don't need and as Internet Explorer is more strict in rendering content you see that problem there.
In order to correct that, you need to remove the 2 </li> shown in the screenshot below. Then, recompile your project and re-upload the produced files.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thank you!
Kind Regards,
Aggelos Tsakonas

'Ex-soldiers asked to give way to Mosley' was the headline in the Communist Party newspaper, the Daily Worker, on 30 September 1936. Oswald Mosley, a former Labour Party government minister, set up the British Union of Fascists in 1932, modelling it on Hitler's Nazi Party. Chief among its tactics was the intimidation of East London's Jews with marches and rallies, followed by violent attacks. Mosley announced that he would march through the East End on Sunday 4 October 1936.
The headline in the Daily Worker was a warning to the rebellious Stepney Communists who wanted to challenge the fascists where they marched. The party leadership hated this direct action. They wanted to draw Communists off to a peaceful march against the Spanish fascist Franco, which was planned to take place in Trafalgar Square.
On the Thursday, the Daily Worker promised that 'Sunday will see columns of London youth marching to Trafalgar Square'. Under the headline 'Provocation', they warned that Mosley's march could 'only be construed as a provocation'. There would be a meeting in Shoreditch Town Hall that evening, after the two marches, where the Communist leader Tom Mann would make a token protest against Mosley's incursion.
The police, the Labour Party and the Board of Deputies of British Jews also counselled that people stay away from the Mosley demonstration, for fear of promoting lawlessness.
Stepney Communists thought differently. Forbidden from challenging the fascists directly by their branch committee, they organised instead as an ex-servicemen's association, led by Joe Jacobs. It was they, along with the radical Independent Labour Party, who organised the opposition to Mosley, along with many in the local community. Joe Jacobs had his Communist Party membership suspended for his trouble.
