I took some time today and updated my Java (had to get an admin acct 
that I thought I already had) and the new ranker looks good. In the date 
range selection fields, Are the rank start and end dates the dates which 
the order of the matrix should be based on, and the interaction matrix 
dates the dates for which the agonisms should be selected? I like the 
changes so far though!

Where are we now? Jun will you continue to work from your end, or shall 
we pass everything off to Michael now? What works best for the both of 
you? Do either of you need more information from our end?

Thanks!
Cheers
Lacey
