URL: http://www.childrenshospital.org/research/cancer/How Cancer Grows and Spreads is an animated Flash presentation that illustrates the growth, progression and metastasis of carcinomas. Cancer researchers Bruce Zetter, PhD, and Marsha Moses, PhD, identify fourteen possible stages of a carcinoma and show the possible paths the disease can take as it moves from one stage to another. Using the presentation's "roadmap," users are able to choose their own routes as they travel from one possible cancer stage to the next. At each stop along the way, they learn details about that stage through descriptions and animated illustrations, and they can learn about current treatments and the latest research advances. Children's Hospital Boston is home to the world's largest research enterprise based at a pediatric medical center, where its discoveries have benefited both children and adults since 1869.

URL: http://www.pbs.org/americannovelHow well do you know your American lit? Can you name the muckraking author who campaigned against the meat-packing industry and later ran for California governor on the Socialist ticket? Or the postmodernist author who discovered a love of literature while working a boring summer job as a parking attendant? Do you know the title of the quintessential American novel that ends, “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”? You’ll find all the answers, and more, at a new companion Web site to an upcoming AMERICAN MASTERS special presentation, Novel Reflections On The American Dream. The site offers a comprehensive exploration of 200 years of the American novel, including in-depth information on more than 50 novels and authors, along with the literary movements they inspired.

URL: http://moneyterms.co.ukMoney Terms is a finanical reference website for investors. Written by an experienced analyst it aims to cover what investors need to know when analysing companies and securities. Site creator Graeme Pietersz commented "Investors need to be able to look up everything from financial ratios to industry terminology. Simple formulae and definitions are easy to find, but these are not enough. Money Terms goes further and explains what matters to investors and why. It also provides guidance on the practical application of financial concepts and numbers." The origin of the site was as a glossary on an investment research website formerly run by Pietersz, an analyst who has previously worked in fund management and stock-broking in Britain and Asia. When the glossary proved to be more popular than the parent site, it became obvious that there was a real need to have this kind of material online.

URL: http://www.VoteMeDebtFree.comVoteMeDebtFree.com offers a social answer to debt in allowing members chances to receive debt relief decided primarily by their peers. At the same time, a growing membership will pave the way to making the site a negotiation powerhouse for its members. VoteMeDebtFree.com offers the Debt Relief Reward, or DRR, a progressive reward beginning at $10,000.00 increasing with each new free registration. This reward is split between two members, the majority going to the member with the most points (obtained through voting) at the time of distribution while the minority will go to a random member. A member’s point total is decided on their total number of votes. However, in lieu of an actual cash reward, the DRR will directly go to creditors as payment on behalf of the recipients to ensure the reward is used for its intended purpose.
