If you are unable to meet the need of users that are ever increasing because of the advancement in technology and change in lifestyle, you should change the strategy you are currently using.? The basic strategy of advanced website features like Dojo Toolkit, prototype and YUI Library have made a lot of websites become relevant online to meet the need of users. The SERP ranking is very important when it comes to having a website online. This is why the name of a website plays a huge role in search engine optimization.

There are lots of advanced website features that one would be able to make use of. This is why a new website online would not be able to meet up with the established high ranking SEO websites because of no adequate preparation.? There are lots of information that would help a website owner have an edge even if it is a new website. This can be gotten online with no price attached to it. In our world today, there is no charge to the most important information for website design.

Web site design has revolutionized the internet business because a website without a good development or design may not have good numbers of visitors. Advanced website features are features that most website make use of in climbing the SEO ranking within a short time. These media queries was initially investigated by W3C some years.

This feature would help a person understand or get the information about the user viewpoint while on the website. This is what can be seen by applying a specific CSS styles. And this is seen by the type of particular screen size that is used on a website.

Three new genetic links to colorectal cancer

Dec. 23, 2012 ? Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators have identified three new genetic "hotspots" linked to colorectal cancer.

These variants, reported Dec. 23 in an Advanced Online Publication in Nature Genetics, provide new insight into the biology of colorectal cancer -- and could represent new therapeutic targets for the disease.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide -- and rates are particularly high in the United States and other developed countries. Genetics plays an important role in both sporadic and familial (inherited) forms of the disease. However, only about 6 percent of colorectal cancer cases are explained by the rare genetic variants known to confer high risk of colorectal cancer (as seen in familial forms of the disease).

Previous studies on the genetic basis of colorectal cancer have pinpointed several additional variants, but most of the studies were conducted in European/Caucasian populations.

"Looking at different ethnic groups is important because the genetic structures can be different enough that variants identified in one population do not explain risk in other populations," said Wei Zheng, M.D., Ph.D., MPH, an Ingram Professor of Cancer Research and senior author on the study. "Because of the difference in genetic structures and underlying environment exposures, it might be easier to discover some risk variants in studies conducted in non-European populations."

In 2009, Zheng and colleagues in several Asian countries established the "Asia Colorectal Cancer Consortium" to search for novel genetic risk factors for the disease. The consortium included populations in China, Korea and Japan.

Using an approach known as a "genome-wide association study" (or GWAS), Zheng and colleagues began searching for common variants linked to disease risk.

From genomic data obtained from 2,098 colorectal cancer cases and 5,749 controls, the researchers identified 64 variants, or "single nucleotide polymorphisms" (SNPs), that were associated with colorectal cancer.

The investigators then replicated these findings in another set of samples, narrowing down the number of disease-associated variants to four. Three of those four variants were also associated with colorectal cancer risk in a larger European sample.

"The findings from this study are relevant to both Asian and European populations," said Zheng. "Interestingly, these three susceptibility loci were not discovered in previous studies conducted in European-ancestry populations."

This study highlights the importance of conducting genetic studies in non-European populations to fully uncover the genetic basis for common diseases, including colorectal cancer, Zheng noted.

While the specific functions of these newly identified susceptibility loci are not clear yet, several important genes are located in the regions near the risk variants discovered in this study. For example, one risk variant is located near CCND2, the gene encoding cyclin D2, a member of the cyclin family of proteins that regulate the cell cycle. Cyclins have been linked to cancer, but research on the CCND2 gene has been limited. Therefore, the current findings suggest the need for further research on the role of other cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases in carcinogenesis.

"These new discoveries are very exciting," Zheng said. "They will certainly lead to future studies regarding the biology of these regions and the translational potential of these findings in cancer prevention and treatment."

The research was supported in part by grants from the National Cancer Institute (CA070878, CA082729, CA124558, CA148667 and CA122364) of the National Institutes of Health.

Zheng is also a professor of Medicine, director of the Vanderbilt Epidemiology Center, and chief of the Division of Epidemiology at Vanderbilt University.

Other Vanderbilt authors on the paper were: Ben Zhang, Ph.D.; Qiuyin Cai, M.D., Ph.D.; Jirong Long, Ph.D.; Jiajun Shi, Ph.D.; Wanqing Wen, M.D., MPH; Gong Yang, M.D., MPH; Ryan Delahanty, Ph.D., and Xiao-Ou Shu, M.D., Ph.D.

This research was conducted in collaboration with investigators from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (China), Aichi Cancer Center Research Institute (Japan), Korean National Cancer Center (South Korea), the Shanghai Cancer Institute (China), Yonsei University (South Korea), Hallym University College of Medicine (South Korea), National Cancer Institute (USA), Kyoto University Center for Genomic Medicine (Japan), and Seoul National University College of Medicine (South Korea).

Hipster Santa Keeps His List In the Cloud

Face it, Santa is pretty antiquated. I mean, what kind of crazy elf-powered factory must he have up there in the North pole in order to be churning out iPhones and laptops and Wii Us? Ridiculous as it is, you don't want him to get hip, because he'd turn into this. He'd keep his list in the cloud. He'd order all his gifts on Amazon Prime like the rest of us. God only knows what he'd do with Snapchat. Maybe some things are best left outdated. [Reddit] More »

Friendship Bible Church: The Baby Shower

As I pulled the bundle of mail from our mailbox, I sorted through it. Sandwiched between the magazines and credit card offers was a Pepto Bismol pink colored envelope. I flipped it over and a sticker with smiling jungle animals made eye contact with me. I carefully opened it and pulled out a beautifully handcrafted invitation. It was edged in pink and Dr. Seuss bright green stripes. All the friendly animals of the jungle were jumping around the paper. I was expecting this baby shower invitation. Our friend is having her first baby. The baby is a little girl and she has already been named Olivia. This shower will be a celebration of life. A time of anticipation and excitement about the little one who will hopefully make her appearance before Christmas Day.

The shower was held at a very exclusive restaurant. I had been informed that a full luncheon would be served. As I drove to Cleveland, I pondered how many baby showers I had attended in my life. I recalled going to baby shower breakfasts, brunches, picnics, luncheons, after hour parties, during lunch breaks, and open houses just to name a few. I have watched as the Mommy-to-be gets feted with rocking chairs, umbrellas, bunny slippers, floating loungers, recliners, pillows, bubbles, chocolate molded baby buggies, lemonade with curly straws, 500 calorie petit four, neck massages, pedicures, manicures, balloons with Barbie's face, everything pink, everything blue, and everything Disney. I have witnessed every theme from swimming pools to Mother Goose to frogs.?
This baby shower was probably the fanciest I have ever attended. It was complete with the Father-to-be, the Grandparents-to-be, all the aunts and uncles-to-be. Everyone was invited. We were seated at linen clad round tables with crystal glasses, porcelain plates, and real stainless steel utensils. There were none of the baby pink and baby blue paper plates that I host with. Gone were the plastic forks wrapped in paper napkins and curly tied with rainbow ribbon. We feasted on a delicious meal. Prime Rib, chicken Parmesan, Italian pastas and fresh homemade bread. There was an enormous strawberry filled multi-layered cake and gourmet cookies and?gelato and other delicacies. Chocolate hand painted giraffe pretzel rods complimented each table setting. Someone had made "take home goodie bags" filled with more chocolate ...one for everyone in attendance. I felt pampered and I was only a GUEST! This family is greatly anticipating the birth of this little baby. They had planned and dreamed and worked on this baby shower for months. It was a one of a kind baby shower experience. The gift table trailed at least 20 feet long and was laden with every design of baby shower paper and gift bags. I received a lesson in gift wrap design and bow creation by just looking over Baby Olivia's presents. There were the trendy diaper cakes, multi colored and shaped teething rings attached to the handles of the gift bags, stuffed animals peeking out of packages, and boxes wrapped in receiving blankets instead of paper gift wrapping. The wrapping and creativity of many that bestowed gifts on this new Mother was beyond words. Any baby item that has been produced had been purchased for Baby Olivia.? Gift after gift was opened and shared for all to see. I was especially interested in gifts made of fabric. Little soft sleepers and Onesies. Delicate cotton and baby yarn layettes made by a loving Great-Grandmother. Downy blankets and hoodies in every color. Quilts made from quality 100% cotton?fabrics...all created for precious long lasting usage and for leaving a legacy. Every fabric gift was primed for sensitive baby skin. Fragile little baby fingers and toes that would peek out of the blankets. Silken first baby hair that would be hidden in those folds of fabric. Every gift was given from the heart and with love. Given with thoughts of making little Olivia feel welcome and cherished. It was wonderful watching the new parents with their gracious attitude of appreciation for each of their guests. They are a kind and caring couple that truly cherish their family and friends. Little Olivia will grow up well under the watchful care of these two wonderful people.

When I think about the atmosphere of anticipation at that baby shower, I can only imagine how Mary and Joseph must have felt. They prepared and planned for the coming Jesus. Joseph was a carpenter. His passion was building. The Bible doesn't say this... but?I imagine?that he had crafted a cradle of sorts for the dear baby to be lain in. It was probably the best one he had ever created. I can see in my mind's eye the labor of love. The rough strong manly hands on the warm olive wood. Sanding and smoothing, shaping that piece of wood into a work of art, making everything perfect for the infant, using his finish carpentry skills to design a unique creation. The pride of Joseph's skill went into the bed of a King. The personal sacrifice that turned the wood log into a masterpiece.? Mary was a servant girl. She had been trained to care for the home.? She had likely tended to family while she was but a child herself.? Every possible act of love was poured into the forthcoming birth of her baby. She would have?sought out the cleanest, purest, softest, and most durable fabrics.?She would have taken care of her body. No doubt in my mind, that she was very cautious where she went, what she ate, what she drank, and who knew about her precious pregnancy. Extreme care was foremost in her and Joseph minds as the days grew near.

?

Then the announcement...?Caesar's?sinister plan. Everyone was to return to the city of their ancestors... NOW!? No exceptions... DO IT NOW! Don't question... follow the rules... or else. What a shock to the young couple. They had been planning an easy and safe birth. Their families were close and would assist in the birthing. Now... they were thrust out into a cold uncaring world... just the two of them... and God. All their well made plans... cast aside.? They couldn't even take the beautiful olive wood cradle that Joseph had lovingly handcrafted for Baby Jesus.? They knew they had to follow the law and travel to Bethlehem. It would be a hard journey for a woman with child. There might not be any place to find refuge and safety.?They knew and yet they obeyed. There is not one mention of resistance in the Word of God. They did exactly what God told them to do.?

All was ready in Bethlehem the night that Jesus came to earth. Mary and Joseph were prepared. God had prepared more than just their hearts. God had prepared the nation of Israel, the town of Bethlehem, the star, the donkey that carried Mary, the inn keeper that offered his animal stable, Joseph's willingness to take Mary as his wife, and?Mary's first experience with giving birth to her own child. God had prepared every part of Jesus' birth. The people, the animals, the stable, and the nation were all anticipating His arrival. Mary was ready. Joseph was ready. The inn keeper was ready.?All was in place and part of God's magnificent plan. Jesus was sent from Heaven, nurtured in a virgin womb, protected by a son of David, carried by a humble donkey, born in a lowly stable, laid in a stone feeding trough, and wrapped in strips of soft cloth. Cloth that was prepared just for a newborn body. Cloth that was torn from fabric that would protect the tiny baby from the cold and evil world He had just entered.??God had put everything in place for Jesus' arrival on Earth. There was no rushing, no worrying, no questioning. It was the way God wanted it to be on that very first Christmas Day.?

"And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21)

The Christmas Season is here.?Are you ready? Has the truth of the real Christmas Story filled your heart with anticipation for the Little One that came to save you from your sins?

?

Merry Christmas!

?

With love,

?

Beth

Stay ahead of key mobile trends with BI Intelligence, Business Insider's new research and analysis service focused on the mobile industry. Access the full library of research, data, and charts. Sign up for your free trial today >>

Finally! Some good news for Apple.

According to sales data from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, the iPhone now has 53% of the U.S. smartphone market, its highest ever share of the market, up from just 37% a year ago. Android is at 42%, down from 53% a year ago.

Kantar is measuring a 12 week-period ending November 25th to get its market share measurement.

The market share gains are being driven by strong sales of the iPhone 5, which is reassuring considering all the doom and gloom about iPhone 5 demand we've heard from analysts this week. Kantar expects Apple to pick up more share in the coming weeks.

But, it's not all good news for Apple. In the five big European countries ? England, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain ? Android took 61% of the market, up from 52% a year ago. Apple picked up a few points of share, but not as many as Android.

Here's a look at all of Kantar's share data:
