Loads find for me also pinged the webpage and everything is fine. What web browser do you have and is this the only web page in which you have problems?
Do you have a program that blocks ad's like Norton's Ad blocker? For instance I have Norton Internet Security and once in a while it will mistake a picture or text as advertisement. Also delete your cache first and check if you can get the news if not delete your cookies as well in Internet Options.(If you want; backup your cookies if there is some passwords you don't remember off hand) Lastly make sure you have java enabled or even have it installed, if not http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
If I were you please stop using internet explorer and start using opera or firefox which I use http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/. You will not regret it. If you have any questions shoot away.
Not as easily and both browser's are faster in loading and you won't get any worms or virusus because active x is off, but you can still get a worm/virus but not as easily like internet explorer. Got for it :thumb:
