Left portlet not visible

I am attempting to get situated with CREME96, however as I going through the tutorial I was unable to continue much farther through the test line as I wasn't able to find the "Left Portlet" that holds all of the tools. I am not sure if I am missing something or if there is an error somewhere.

It should be visible once you are in your member folder ('my folder').
Depending on the screen, you may need to scroll down to see the tools
under the 'news' portlet.
