    Looking good.

    I too disabled typekit - improved the fonts a lot.

    I too would like navigation at the top as well as the bottom, and a range of page numbers as well as older and newer. Perhaps 3 first, 3 last, and 3 either side of where you are (avoiding double ups of course) eg instead of "page 8 of 12", you could have "1 2 3 ... 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12".

    I too find too much space on the right in discussion. Could not the two right columns be combined into one ?

    But overall it is a great improvement.

    Cheers,
    Brent.

    I want to be a rebel,
    but mummy says
    I'm not allowed to be,
    so I live in mass conformity,
    I'm lost in uniformity

    Sorry. It just looked too dense (and I didn't have time to drop in any images), so I bolded up the key words.

    C'mon. Admit it. You're just trying to make it easy for those Wilson&Hortonists to turn this into a newspaper article ...

    Hey Giovanni, are the Italians upset about the reffing too. Smeltz's goal seemed to me to be from offside since Reid touched the ball as it went past.

    But the result is different. Traditionally breeding techniques are do not have the same level of precision with respect to which genes are included, ergo the set of genes that is transferred is different, and may require multiple generations to breed out the undesired genes, if this is possible at all.

    I don't have a problem with using GE to figure out which genes are of interest, and then using traditional methods used actually produce the hybrid.

    That's what I do not understand about the Green's policy. Using cross-breeding to mix hundreds of genes together in novels ways is okay. Using GE to insert a single gene in a precise place is not okay. Justified by saying that we do not know what the risks are. I believe that there are more risks in the former than that latter scenario, but in both cases there needs to be plenty of testing and trials done before the result is put into production.

    Unknown risks is not a justification for a blanket ban.

    [It is interesting the number of people - like myself - who have stated that they vote Green, or would like to vote Green, but who are against their GE policy. Perhaps the Greens could broaden their support base by relaxing this policy].
