(Cycle plugin) Text is not aligned correctedly when loading page for the first time

(Cycle plugin) Text is not aligned correctedly when loading page for the first time

I am using IE 8.

If you go to http://site2.ewart.library.ubc.ca/, you will find the text below the (carousel) image is aligned to the right, while it is supposed to aligned to the center.

However, if you click the left & right button to navigate the carousel, the text will be aligned to the center.

I guess it might be some jquery (and its cycle plug-in) issue. But I am not sure.

Also, the left & right buttons are not aligned corrected. It should be on the right of the dots. It works in FF but not in IE. I do not think it is a jquery plugin issue, just hope to get some hint :)
