SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo University head coach Melissa Miller-Mangen has announced the signings of seven student-athletes to join the Lions' men's cross country program in the fall of 2012. The seven incoming athletes include, Michael Walker, Spencer Mathis, David Hill, Matthew Basin, Steven Brown, Valentin Lenz, and Carl Dunne
The seven recruits bring the Lions' roster to 12 male runners, as they join five returners.
"The incoming class is our most talented academically and athletically to date," said Miller-Mangen. "Carl and Valentin are 4.0 students, while Matt, Spencer, David, Mike, Steven possess 3.5 grade-point-averages or higher."
Aside from four local signees in Mathis, Hill, Basin, and Brown, the Lions also sport one recruit from New Jersey, as well as a pair of international student-athletes.
Valentin Lenz
Freshman | Helmholtz Gymnasium Essen (Germany)
A native of Germany, Lenz spent four years running for Helmholtz Gymnasium Essen. Additionally, he competed with the German National Youth team during his senior year, while also earning third-place in the German Triathlon Championships in 2011.
Coach Miller-Mangen's Thoughts: "Valentin is a consistent sub 15:30 runner on any course. He is very diligent and disciplined with his training and recently clocked a 33:23 in his first 10K, which is a minute faster than our school record."
Carl Dunne
Freshman | St Joseph's C.B.S. (Ireland)
A fellow international student-athlete, Dunne attended St. Joseph's C.B.S School in Ireland. He earned fifth-place at the 2010 National Finals and finished with a National Finals First Team selection. Additionally, he earned a ninth-place finish at the 2009 New Balance Ocean State Championships.
Coach Miller-Mangen's Thoughts: "Carl adds experience being on the European U-18 team and recently competed in the trail running championships representing Ireland. Carl's also talented on the track with a 4:00 1500M, and 8:52 3000M. He adds speed to contend with the top in the conference and region, while also possessing 10K experience which is contrary to most American high school distance runners."
Michael Walker
Freshman | Toms River High School-North
Competing at Toms River High School-North under the tutelage of Jack Boylan and Sean Dowd, Walker enjoyed four letter-winning seasons in varsity track and field. A future Business Administration major, Walker impressed on the course as he earned the Walt Disney Invitational junior varsity individual champion, as well as guiding his squad to the Class-A South Jersey team championship.
Coach Reiber's Thoughts: "Mike brings a lot to the table, he comes from a great track program at Toms River North in New Jersey, and I think that his strength in middle distance events will give him the speed advantage he needs at the end of an 8K race. He has the drive to make an immediate impact on the team both in the classroom and on the field."
David Hill
Freshman | Wiregrass Ranch High School
Hill spent four seasons running for Wiregrass Ranch High School. The incoming Criminal Justice major was tabbed all-conference as a senior. He also finished 31st with a time of 16:26.86 at the 2011 Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) State Meet.
Coach Miller's Thoughts: "David really came out and competed well at the State Championships, we are counting on him to be a gamer for our championship meets as well."
Coach Reiber's Thoughts: "David comes to Saint Leo from a dominant cross country program in Florida. His experience running at the front of races will allow him to have the easiest adjustment into the SSC, one of the toughest conferences in the country. We don't have to worry about him putting in the training because he is motivated to succeed and should push some of our returners."
Matthew Basin
Freshman | Wiregrass Ranch High School
A teammate of Hill at Wiregrass Ranch High School, Basin ran varsity cross country as well as track & field for four seasons. His accolades on the course were prominent as he was selected Sunshine Athletic All-Conference, in addition to being named the Coaches Award winner and the team captain.
Coach Reiber's Thoughts: "Matthew is a former teammate of David Hill at Wiregrass. He is an athlete that pushes himself to his limits, and when he learns to not exceed what his body can handle he will make a huge breakthrough."
Spencer Mathis
Freshman | Strawberry Crest High School
A multi-sport star, Mathis made his mark at Strawberry Crest High School. Aside from cross country, Mathis was also a two-time captain of his varsity basketball team. A two-time member of the student-athlete academic honors club, the incoming Sport Business major was named Most Valuable Distance Runner as a senior, in addition to being a Cross Country Leadership Award winner.
Coach Reiber's Thoughts: "Spencer is relatively new to the running world and still has a lot of room to improve. Coming from Strawberry Crest High School as a multi-sport athlete, Spencer will come to Saint Leo and completely focus on running. With the support of his family and our coaching staff I think Spencer could drop a lot of time this year."
Steven Brown
Freshman | Wesley Chapel High School
A three-year member of the Wesley Chapel High School varsity track and field squad, he also competed on the cross country team for two seasons. He earned the Most Outstanding Distance Runner accolade as a junior and senior. Brown, is an incoming Sport Business major.
Coach Reiber's Thoughts: "Steven is another athlete that has a lot of potential. He loves running and has been putting in a lot of miles this summer in order to make the impact that he wants to make. His passion for the sport will rub off on anyone who is around him, and that will help push our team to the next level."
The group will hit the course for the first time on August 31 when they travel to Tampa, Fla. to compete in the Early Bird Classic.

HOUSTON - Well ladies and gentleman, the time has finally come for us to wrap up these Blind Auditions and move on to the (thunder clap) BATTLE ROUNDS (rounds… rounds… rounds…). And yes. I'm probably going to do that every time I mention (thunder clap) BATTLE ROUNDS (rounds… rounds… rounds…). This final batch of Blind Auditions was, as a whole, pretty incredible, including some of the auditions from artists that weren't chosen for teams. Cough cough Kameron Corvet cough cough. Because there were SO many standouts, I might just have to post a lot of videos... #SorryNotSorry.
Let's start with Nathalie Hernandez. What a little MUFFIN! Her voice perfectly matched the adorableocity of her face and personality— she sounds like a mix of Taylor Swift, Vanessa Carlton and cotton candy. I had her pegged for Team Blake because she kind of reminds me of Xenia from Season 1, but lo and behold Xtina snatched this girl right up. Check out her blind audition and see for yourself!Nathalie Hernandez Blind Audition
And then there was Kayla Nevarez. This girl's voice was liquid cool. And she's only 17. COME ON. Xtina fought quite the battle to secure homegirl for her team, and almost had me convinced that she'd be a good coach. But then I remembered the last two seasons of The Voice. Kayla's no fool and went with Team Adam. But the best part was when Kayla whispered to Adam that now "we better win this." Gotta love a girl with gusto.Kayla Nevarez Blind Audition
Is it weird to say that what I liked first about Celica Westbrook were her eyebrows? Whatever, they're awesome. But in addition to having great brows, this lady also has some killer pipes. I don't see how Xtina can really do much to develop Celica as an artist, but I guess we'll see, as Celica was the last addition to finish off Team Xtina.Celica Westbrook Blind Audition
There were some other auditions worthy of honorable mention, like Caitlin Michele aka the-more-than-slightly-under-pitch-version-of-Florence-&-The-Machine, down to the flowy, ethereal robe. Also, Rudy Parris for being the creepiest looking guy I'd probably want to be friends with ever. Also he sings good.
But the final audition of the night provided the phenomenal moment I have been waiting for all season. Cody Belew, otherwise known as MY SOULMATE, literally lost his shizznit all over the stage and Cee-Lo himself when he realized he made Team Red Zone. If there was ever a time for a .gif, it was RIGHT NOW. But let's back up and discuss the amazingness of his pre-audition package:
"I really, truly believe that in a past life, I was an elderly black lady." (Dena's immediate response: OMG ME TOO!)
And then, while he was savoring his victory:
"That's my favorite thing to do, is entertain the crowd with a little bit of (hip thrust) bam-bam." Aaaaand this is when I knew we were destined for each other. Because I love a man who values a little hip action.
This is true love, y'all.Cody Belew Blind Audition
Check out the full team breakdowns for an idea of what we'll be looking forward to in the (thunder clap) BATTLE ROUNDS (rounds… rounds… rounds…)! But what's that? There's a new twist?? It's true. This year there will be STEALS. During the battle rounds, after the winner is proclaimed, the other coaches can steal the losing artist for their own teams. But these coaches gotta be quick on the draw, because if more than one coach wants the artist, the first one to push his/her button wins. I. Love. This. At the very least it should save us from the moments when two really good people were unfortunately pitted against each other, and you're not quite sure which one deserves to go because they made each other better.
I am fit to be tied I'm so pumped for these (thunder clap) BATTLE—ok, now I'm sick of it. But you get the picture! EXCITEMENT ABOUNDS!
Thanks for reading, and as always, thanks for watching KPRC Local 2!

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is suing Morgan Drexen Inc. and its president and CEO Walter Ledda, for allegedly charging illegal upfront fees for debt-settlement services and for deceiving consumers.
The federal watchdog filed the suit in federal district court Tuesday and claims the company -- which it describes as a debt-relief company -- violated the Telemarketing Sales Rule and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. These forbid deceptive acts, practices and telemarketing and prohibit debt-relief firms from charging a fee before services have been given.
According to the CFPB, Morgan Drexen allegedly had consumers sign two contracts, one for debt-settlement services and the other for bankruptcy services. However, the company provided little to no bankruptcy services, but still charged fees. The CFPB considers the bankruptcy contract as a way to disguise illegal fees. Ledda was included in the suit, because he works closely with the day-to-day operations and owns 93 percent of the company.
The CFPB says the ruse affected more than 22,000 consumers since October 2010, charging them millions of dollars in upfront fees. The lawsuit also contends that the company misled consumers by advertising no upfront fees and guaranteeing that consumers would be debt-free in months.
"This company took advantage of people who were struggling," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray in a statement.
In its first statement released Tuesday, Morgan Drexen called the lawsuit "abusive" and "procedural gamemanship," that distracts from a lawsuit the company filed against the CFPB in July. In the suit, Morgan Drexen calls into question the constitutionality of the agency and said it didn't have any lawful standing to obtain personal financial data from the company.
"Now (the CFPB) is engaging in vexatious and litigious conduct by creating a distracting separate lawsuit rather than allowing its constitutional structure to be evaluated in a fair and reasonable procedure by a judge in D.C.," according to the initial statement from Morgan Drexen.
The company released a second statement later Tuesday saying that it is not a debt-settlement company, but rather a support services company for attorneys. The statement also said that Morgan Drexen does not charge any fees; only the attorneys who hire the company charge fees for their work, which "is not out of line for their industry" and "do so in compliance" with federal laws, according to the Morgan Drexen statement.
This isn't Morgan Drexen's first run-in with authorities over its practices. In May, Wisconsin's financial regulator ordered the company to pay $6.1 million in restitution and fines for allegedly violating consumer protection laws regarding debt negotiation. The company was also ordered to shutter its operations in the state. Morgan Drexen is fighting the ruling in court.

With less than a month away from Advancing Sustainability: Business + Design Symposium, Woodbury University students are working vigorously until the big day. The symposium is an annual event that explores various areas in new technology and sustainable concepts focusing on environmental, socioeconomically, and infrastructural issues. The symposium is hosted by TBD, an organization founded and run by students. The Advancing Sustainability team consists of students from various disciplinary backgrounds and career goals, coming together for a common mission: to ensure the sustainability of our environment. Having only heard about the organization, bright and environmentally conscience students across the university decided to join the cause. These students are juniors, seniors, or 5th years enrolled in Woodbury's widely recognized School of Architecture, School of Business, School of Transdisciplinary studies, and School of Media, Culture, and Design. The organization is structured into areas of operations, finance, marketing, branding, program, research, and experience design. Students join groups consisting of duties beyond their area of study, expanding their knowledge and capabilities. A year of planning leading up to the event focuses on every detail. The theme of the event changes annually, however revolves around the topic of sustainability in business and design. The 2012 symposium will focus on the "cardiovascular system" of a city, its infrastructure. After the topic is decided, students contact professionals in the field, organize speakers and panel discussions. This event provides many opportunities to students involved. Students, academia, and accomplished professionals attend the event offering many networking opportunities. The event is open to the public and the cost to attend is very minimal. Lunch and refreshments will be provided at no cost, along with other exciting details. This opportunity comes along only once a year, so make sure to reserve your seat!

Troubleshooters have been sent into a Colchester school after inspectors found pupils were two years behind in their maths, reading and writing.
Cherry Tree Primary School, in Holt Drive, Colchester, was criticised and put in special measures by Ofsted in a report published this week.
The school's headteacher, Edward Constantine, has been replaced by a new troubleshooting leadership team, which will aim to boost standards.
Executive headteacher Iain Birtwell and acting headteacher Maddie Cowley first took charge at the school three weeks ago, following the inspection at the end of March.

Reds deny no-no but drop opener to Bucs
PITTSBURGH -- The Reds have now faced the prospect of being no-hit two Fridays in a row. And although they found ways to break up the bids in the late innings, they haven't found a way to avoid the sting of losing the close games.
Cincinnati got a superb performance from Mike Leake, broke up Edinson Volquez's no-hitter in the seventh and took a lead in the top of the eighth, but all of that was rendered moot in the bottom of the eighth, when the Pirates scored two runs off Jonathan Broxton, handing the Reds a 2-1 loss at PNC Park.
It was the Reds' Major League-leading 32nd one-run defeat of the season.
"You've got to keep going out there and battling," said catcher Devin Mesoraco, who got the Reds' first hit and drove in the lone run with his second. "A loss is a loss, I think. It always stinks when you have the lead and you have the opportunity to win. We just weren't able to score enough runs to not be in that situation, and we couldn't hold it down. There's not a lot to say. That's just what happened."
There was one out in the Pittsburgh eighth for Broxton when pinch-hitter Andrew Lambo sharply bounced a ball off first baseman Todd Frazier's glove; it was ruled a single. The next batter, Josh Harrison, delivered his third hit of the night with a triple off the right-field wall that scored the tying run. Jose Tabata followed with a single past drawn-in third baseman Kristopher Negron to plate Harrison with the go-ahead run.
"I got two ground balls that got hits and I got one that was hit off the wall. It's not like they were knocking the cover off the ball," said Broxton, who is now 4-2 with a 1.86 ERA in 51 appearances.
The Reds' bullpen is 0-12 in decisions since the All-Star break, but Broxton has been one of the most dependable relievers. In his last seven games, totaling 6 1/3 innings, he has allowed five earned runs 11 hits and four walks.
"It looked like a couple of pitches that got the inning started … weren't terribly well-located pitches," manager Bryan Price said of Broxton's outing. "One thing he's done as well as anybody on our staff is, he's been good at locating his fastball this year. It's tough. He's been unbelievable this year. This is a blip on the radar, really."
Last Friday at Great American Ball Park, Braves lefty Mike Minor had a no-hitter for 7 2/3 innings before the Reds lost in 12 innings. This time Volquez kept them hitless for six innings despite a poor track record vs. his former club. Volquez entered 1-2 with a 5.86 ERA in five career starts vs. the Reds, and 0-2 with a 9.64 ERA in two 2014 starts.
On the other side, Leake gave up six hits but worked nicely for seven scoreless innings, with no walks and one strikeout.
"It's a tough one," Price said of the outcome. "You had two pitchers that were locked in -- Volquez threw a great game, and Leake matched him."
Leading off the seventh, Mesoraco rolled a single past diving shortstop Jordy Mercer for the Reds' first hit. Jay Bruce followed with a single off the glove of first baseman Ike Davis. Negron grounded to third base, where Harrison made a diving stop and touched the bag with his hand before throwing out Negron at first base for the double play -- causing the rally to fizzle.
"[Harrison] really kind of made a game-saving play on the ball Negron hit down the line," Price said.
Billy Hamilton hit a one-out single off Volquez in the top of the eighth and swiped second base for his 53rd steal of the season. With one out, Volquez hit Brandon Phillips with a pitch. Lefty Tony Watson replaced Volquez and gave up Mesoraco's RBI single to left field, which scored Hamilton. Left fielder Starling Marte misplayed the ball for an error that allowed Phillips to move to third. As the cutoff throw got away from Mercer, Phillips tried to score, but Harrison recovered the ball and threw out Phillips sliding headfirst at the plate.
"It's his read," Price said of Phillips. "[Third-base coach Steve Smith] had stopped him because you can't anticipate that the ball is going to be bobbled out there. … It was a reaction play and a bang-bang play at the plate. I didn't think it was a terrible play by any means."

Great Energy Challenge Innovator: Eco-Fuel Africa
Project: Training and Creating Micro-Entrepeneurs for Fuel Briquettes
Location: Kampala, Uganda
Summary: Eco-Fuel Africa trains poor Ugandan farmers to turn farm waste into clean-burning fuel briquettes and organic fertilizers (biochar). Starting in 2010, Eco-Fuel Africa has created a strong, distributed network of charcoal-producing farmer-entrepreneurs working across Uganda.
The next phase of expansion consists of establishing 100 new micro-retailers of fuel briquettes. Eco-Fuel Africa will build kiosks and thoroughly train largely illiterate farmers and poor women to carry out this work. In addition, they will construct 100 new manual briquetting machines to produce the fuel briquettes. Manual machines are critical in places where the electrical grid is unreliable, which is widespread in Uganda.
Given the aim to help illiterate farmers and poor women, Eco-Fuel Africa will mentor the newly trained micro-retailers to ensure they can build successful retail businesses. Eco-Fuel Africa will also create market awareness and conduct marketing campaigns on the retailer's behalf.
Goal: To create a network of new clean energy micro-entrepreneurs in Uganda
Project Participants:
- Moses Sanga, CEO
- Ben Tandekwire, operations manager
- Peter Mulinda, CFO
- Winfred Igola, education manager
The Great Energy Challenge grant program, in collaboration with a distinguished group of scientists acting as the board of advisors, awards roughly a half-dozen grants per year. The goal of the grant program is to hasten the growth of promising, global energy solutions as a response to climate change, energy resource constraints and environmental limitations.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (Ivanhoe Newswire) – Every 33 seconds, someone in the U.S. dies from heart disease. That's roughly the equivalent of a September 11th –like tragedy repeating itself every 24 hours, 365 days a year. Now, researchers are learning more about what puts you at risk.
About 80 million Americans are living with it and one million Americans die from heart disease each year. Cleveland Clinic Dr. Stanley Hazen is learning more about what puts you at risk.
"If it's not your genes, it's your environment and our biggest environment exposure is what we eat," Stanley L. Hazen, MD, PhD, Cardiologist and Vice Chair of Research, Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute, told Ivanhoe.
In a clinical study, Hazen and his team discovered that people who have more of a compound called TMAO in their blood are two-and-a-half times more likely to experience heart attack, stroke, or death.
"TMAO just stuck out like sore thumb as being highly correlated with future event risk," Dr. Hazen said.
TMAO is produced when intestinal bacteria digest nutrients found in certain foods like meat. Hazen believes avoiding those foods and upping fiber intake can offset this link over time.
Hazen also found HDL cholesterol – often referred to as the "good cholesterol" –may not be so good after all.
"Simply measuring how much cholesterol is in the HDL particle does not give us a good reflection of its role in protecting from heart disease," Dr. Hazen explained.
The study showed dysfunctional HDL cholesterol in the artery wall actually contributed to heart disease.
"It's the function of the particle that seems to be more important," Dr. Hazen said.
Two new insights that could help researchers develop treatments for the number one killer in our country.
Dr. Hazen says there will likely be a TMAO blood test available in clinics around the country this year. He says identifying this compound is the first step. The next is to develop therapies to stop it – which may stop heart disease from forming.
BACKGROUND: Heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women in the United States and has become one of the most serious public health issues facing Americans. It is a broad term which refers to a variety of related heart conditions, including heart attack, ischemic stroke, and heart failure. The disease kills 600,000 people each year, which is about one out of every four deaths. (Source: http://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/coronary_ad.htm)
TMAO: TMAO is a microbial byproduct of intestinal bacteria that contributes to heart disease and serves as an accurate screening tool for predicting future risks of stroke, heart attack, and death in people not otherwise identified by traditional risk factors and blood tests, according to researchers at the Cleveland Clinic. The current study is an extension of Dr. Stanley Hazen's previous work that found TMAO is produced when intestinal bacteria digest the nutrient phosphatidylcholine, commonly known as lecithin. The previous research showed that TMAO levels in the blood were associated with heart disease. They now have confirmed that gut flora are essential in forming TMAO and demonstrated a relationship between TMAO levels and future cardiac events like heart attack, or stroke. Researchers then found that the higher TMAO blood levels were associated with higher future risks of death and nonfatal heart attack or stroke. "Heart disease remains the number one killer, and while we know how to reduce cholesterol, treat blood pressure, and reduce cardiac risks through diet and other interventions, a substantial residual risk still remains," Dr. Hazen was quoted as saying. "We need to find new pathways to attack heart disease, and these findings strongly suggest that further research into the involvement of gut microbiome in the development of cardiovascular disease could lead to new avenues of prevention and treatment of heart disease." (Source: http://www.news-medical.net/news/20130425/Higher-TMAO-blood-levels-linked-to-increased-risk-of-heart-disease.aspx)
HDL CHOLESTEROL: About one-fourth to one-third of blood cholesterol is carried by high-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL cholesterol is known as "good cholesterol" because levels of HDL seem to protect against heart attack. Low levels of HDL, which is less than 40 mg/dL for men and less than 50 mg/dL for women, also increase the risk of heart disease. Medical experts think that HDL tends to carry cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it's passed from the body. However, Dr. Hazen found that dysfunctional HDL not only no longer does its normal job of clearing plaque, it actually makes them worse by causing inflammation in the vessel walls, and may help explain why drug treatments that boost HDL levels have failed to improve heart disease outcomes. Dr. Hazen says they are close to a blood test that will allow doctors to detect the dysfunctional form of the cholesterol carrier in the blood. "It's not only a new diagnostic test but it's also a potentially new target for the treatment of heart disease, because the dysfunctional HDL is an active pro-inflammatory player now that we see in the disease process," Dr. Hazen was quoted as saying.

K-State Sweeps Wildcat Invitational
K-State Sweeps Wildcat Invitational
Jan. 19, 2013
Complete Results | Photo Gallery | Highlights
MANHATTAN, Kan. – It was another successful day at Ahearn Field House for the K-State track and field teams as the home team dominated the Wildcat Invitational winning all six dual meets against Oklahoma State, Tulsa and UMKC. K-State tallied 18 total victories on the afternoon and three meet records that included some of the top marks of the season in the NCAA.
The Wildcat Invitational was highlighted by the return of Olympic silver medalist Erik Kynard to completion as he jumped for the first time since London. The senior did not disappoint as he urged the large crowd to help him with the slow clap as he jumped. Kynard went on to clear 2.29 meters (7-06.00) to set a new meet record as well as set the standard for the NCAA this season as it is the highest jump so far. Kynard's jump also breaks a collegiate dual meet record, surpassing the previous record of 2.28 meters (7-05.75).
K-State head coach Cliff Rovelto said he was impressed with Kynard's performance, especially considering it is only the third time Kynard has jumped counting practices since the Olympics in August.
However, Rovelto was most impressed with one of his sprinters on Saturday.
Carlos Rodriguez crushed the field in the 200 meters with his time of 21.14 seconds. The time ranks third in school history and was the third meet record of the day to fall by way of the Wildcats. But more impressive is he did it on a flat 200-meter track. Taking a conversion rate into affect used to compare flat track times to banked track times, Rodriguez time converts to 20.87 seconds and currently ranks fifth in the NCAA this season.
"I think Carlos in the 200 was the most impressive thing all day. That's saying something when you're at a meet where a guy breaks the dual meet record in the high jump and another guy goes 17-8 in the pole vault," Rovelto said. "We've had a lot of really good sprinters here, and not very many of them ran that fast. To run that time on a flat 200 is something Terence Newman never did. If you put that performance today on a banked 200-meter track, it's one of the fastest times in the nation, no question."
The pole mark Rovelto mentioned is another event K-State's men shined in.
Junior Kyle Wait moved his way up to No. 2 in K-State history as he cleared 5.40 meters (17-08.75). His mark also is tied for No. 6 on the NCAA list this season and is a new Wildcat Invitational record. Wait and his teammates had great performances with senior Cameron Savage finishing second at 4.95 meters (16-02.75), and sophomore Tommy Brady posted a new personal best at 4.80 meters (15-09.00). Freshman Hannah Rubin won the women's pole vault with her mark of 3.35 meters (10-11.75).
The Wildcat Invitational was scored as a triple dual meet with the men and women all taking on each other from each school. K-State easily bested both sides of Oklahoma State, Tulsa and UMKC on the day.
K-State's men bested Oklahoma State 75-47, UMKC 86-51 and Tulsa 70-59, while the women were victorious over Oklahoma State 81-57, UMKC 86-45 and Tulsa 85-47.
The men and women combined to win 18 events on Saturday with the women's team dominating the sprints.
Freshman Ashley Williams won the 60 meters with her time of 7.55 seconds to rank eighth in school history. Senior Samantha McKnight was close behind in second and won the 200 meters herself with a new personal best time of 25.40. Combined events specialist Richelle Farley left the field in the dust in the 60 meter hurdles as she crossed the line in 8.46 seconds to move into third place in school history and fourth in the Big 12 this year. Tarique Hill was just of his PR of 8.01 as he won the men's hurdles in 8.02 for his third victory of the season in as many meets.
K-State's women and men both won the 4x400 relay, and Chris Campbell ran his way to a win in the 400 meters individually with a new PR of 49.38. Freshman Jay-J Parks won the 600 yards, an event he had not run yet as a Wildcat, clocking in at 1:12.13. The women's 600 yards also went to K-State with freshman Tia Gamble winning at 1:23.84.
Freshman Sonia Gaskin won the women's 800 for K-State after running the 600 yards the last two meets. She crossed the line in 2:14.19.
In addition to Kynard, Wait and Rubin winning their events, the jumps were a strong area for the Wildcats on Saturday.
Newcomer Jharyl Bowry won the men's long jump for K-State with a leap of 7.53 meters (24-08.50), which ranks ninth in school history and is currently No. 1 in the Big 12 Conference this season. Freshman Ifeanyi Otuonye finished second with his mark of 7.29 meters (23-11.00), which is one centimeter better than his outdoor PR in the event from high school and stands right behind Bowry on the Big 12 list. Bowry's mark also stands No. 9 on the NCAA list so far.
Freshman Jordan Matthews won the women's triple jump as she leapt 11.37 meters (37-03.75) on a short approach and with limited practice on certain aspects of the event, according to Rovelto.
One more victory came in the women's weight throw as freshman Sara Savatovic made her debut as a Wildcat. Savatovic just got to K-State last week from Serbia, where she had never competed in the indoor weight throw, instead specializing outdoors in the hammer throw. Savatovic posted a mark of 17.95 meters (58-10.75), just missing the K-State top 10 list in her first meet.
K-State went 1-2-3 in the women's weight throw with Jessica Carter taking second at 17.89 meters (58-08.50) and redshirt freshman Dani Winters third at 16.32 meters (53-06.50). Winters also took second in the shot put and was approximately eight inches short of her PR. Alex Roe finished third in the men's weight throw with a new PR mark of 17.12 meters (56-02.00).
"From a team perspective today was pretty good, and we had a lot of good athletes who didn't compete," Rovelto said. "I think if you take all the people who didn't compete today and have already showed they're pretty competitive, the scores could have been even bigger for us today. It was a good day today and looking forward I think we're in pretty good shape."
The Wildcats will send a large group to Iowa State next week for the Bill Bergan Invitational, which also is a team scored meet. Six athletes will compete in the combined events with two in the men's heptathlon and four in the women's pentathlon to start the meet off Thursday and Friday before a full slate of events culminating on Saturday.

CHARGE FOR A CURE - Join Today!
Last Weekend: 3
February: 6
Season Total: 42
More About Charge for a Cure
November: ALS
December: Lupus
January: Parkinson's Disease
February: Breast Cancer
PHILADELPHIA - Now at the halfway point of the 2011 Ivy League season, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team has raised more than $3,000 behind the help of 66 donors to the team's Charge for a Cure initiative. Donors have pledged a donation for every offensive charge taken by the Quakers this season with all money raised going toward the fight against five different diseases - ALS, Lupus, Parkinson's, Breast Cancer and Cystic Fibrosis.
The team, which took 34 offensive charges last season, has already accrued 42 charges this year with nine games remaining. Between the 66 donors, every charge taken is now worth approximately $80 toward the cause. Donors have included many members of the Penn Athletics Department, Penn Alumni, current athletes, members of the media and family and friends.
"I think this has been a really great effort by so many people," head coach Mike McLaughlin said of the Charge for a Cure initiative. "The money is extremely helpful to the cause and its a great thing, but even more so is the awareness that this initiative brings toward these diseases. We are grateful to raise money for these causes, but we always felt the most important part of this initiative was about raising awareness. We are getting more donors on a daily basis and we hope this continues to grow so that we have the opportunity to reach as many people as possible."
Please join the women's basketball team as it looks to make a difference in the lives of the people that this disease affects every day. To join the team in Charge for a Cure, contact assistant coach Kara Cassidy at email@example.com.

As a top executive at Intel and EMC, Pat Gelsinger helped build the data centers of today. Now, as CEO of VMware, he's promising to deliver the data centers of tomorrow. In this installment of the IDG Enterprise CEO Interview Series, Gelsinger spoke with Chief Content Officer John Gallant and Network World Senior Writer Brandon Butler about what he's accomplished one year into his tenure, and why the company is uniquely positioned to deliver on the vision of software-defined data centers. Gelsinger detailed the company's plans for its upcoming infrastructure-as-a-service offerings and how it will out-duel early leader Amazon in that market. He also discussed VMware's plans to simplify mobility and explained how, rather than threatening the company, OpenStack is widening VMware's market. (Oh, one other thing about OpenStack: He doesn't see it gaining traction in the enterprise.) Gelsinger also shared thoughts on VMware's competitors and discussed how he'll work with former VMware CEO Paul Maritz's new Pivotal spin off.
John Gallant: What did you set out to change at the company and what have you accomplished so far?
Pat Gelsinger: Coming into the company, a number of things were obvious. One was this choreographed plan of the formation of Pivotal and moving the assets from EMC together to do that. I came in here, stepped in to take over as the leader. That freed up Paul [Maritz] to go develop the Pivotal plan, and then we executed on that plan. April 1st was the formal launch of it. But also it was clear that VMware, as we moved those assets out, we needed to simultaneously clarify what it was that we were going to do going forward. We had the core virtualization platform that has been extraordinary for the compute [layer], but we had to lay out very clearly what our next vision was going to be as a company. And we did that, our three priorities for the company, and then got everything aligned against those priorities. We restructured the company, we sold off assets. And really our Q2 earnings call, to me, was sort of the marker: OK, we're done with all that stuff. We've clarified the earnings, we clarified what's in and what's out, where we're going for the future, and obviously, the good financial numbers helped us sort of snap the line in saying: OK, we're ready for up-and-to-the-right for the next decade like we did for the last.

In some ways, Steve Ballmer might never get the credit he deserves. Though Microsoft's stock price hasn't moved much during his tenure, the CEO oversaw years of revenue growth that made the company what it is today. Nevertheless, he's also placed some terrible bets, such as infamously dismissing the potential of devices such as the iPhone and iPad.
Microsoft's board appears to believe in the One Microsoft vision, but both the CEO and his co-directors know that someone else needs to take the helm. Under his leadership, the company executed the rollout of Windows 8 and the Surface line with the nuance of a bull in a china shop. The company has corrected much of this in recent months with Windows 8.1, but some of the missteps, such as initially forcing Win 8 users to boot to the Modern UI, were foreseeably wrong-headed.
Ballmer represents an era of PC monopolies, stack-ranking employee evaluations, and siloed management. By his own admission, he realized the company needed new blood to lead it into an era of collaborative, multidevice, cross-platform workplaces. The Microsoft board reportedly accepted his decision without debate -- lesson learned.
Any additional lessons derived from Ballmer's departure will become clear in 2014, when the company will announce its next CEO. Will he or she be an insider? Someone with a technical background? Will the next CEO share Ballmer's desire to reach consumers?

I'm a second year microbiology grad student in the Barrick Lab, studying the evolution of microbial genomes. Specifically, I'm interested in the use of evolution to evolve a "minimal genome" for E. coli. I'm also interested in gene transfer agents (GTAs), they're really weird (and they share the same acronym as a highly controversial series of video games).
Before coming to Texas, I worked in the Kent Lab at UIUC and the Plant Microbe Interfaces group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now I stick to research that doesn't require subjecting myself to poison ivy and mosquitoes.

Haemophilus influenzae
type B, or Hib, is a bacteria that can cause infections. It usually occurs in children under 5 years old. Hib can lead to:
People can carry Hib bacteria and not know it. These germs can spread from person to person. They usually spread through droplets from an infected person. Sickness will probably not occur when the germs stay in the nose and throat. They can cause serious problems when they spread into the lungs or the bloodstream.
Before the vaccine, severe Hib disease affected about 20,000 United States children.
Symptoms include:
The Hib vaccine is made from inactive parts of the bacteria. It is injected into the muscle.
In general, children should get doses at:
In some cases, your child may only need 3 doses. This depends on which brand the doctor uses.
If a dose is missed, talk to the doctor. There are different catch-up schedules depending on the brand and your child's age.
This vaccine is not routinely recommended for children aged 5 years old. However, it may be given if your child was not vaccinated before and your child has certain conditions, such as:
Like any vaccine, the Hib vaccine can cause serious problems, such as a severe allergic reaction. Most people do not have any problems. Some people have redness, warmth, or swelling near the injection site, as well as a fever.
Acetaminophen is sometimes given to reduce pain and fever that may occur after getting a vaccine. In infants, the medication may weaken the vaccine. Discuss the risks and benefits of taking acetaminophen with the doctor.
The following people should not get the vaccine:
Antibiotics may be given to certain infants and young children who have not been vaccinated and have been exposed to the disease.
In the event of an outbreak, public health officials will determine who is at risk and vaccinate people.

Latrobe girls set playoff goals for coming season
Expectations are high for the Latrobe girls basketball team this season.
The Wildcats hope to snatch a Section 1-AAAA playoff spot after finishing 5-17 overall last year.
"I think that's a realistic goal for this team," coach Greg Fenton said. "If we can try and get the fourth-place finish in the section and make the playoffs. Norwin, Hempfield and Penn-Trafford are strong teams. They're the cream of the crop and certainly we'll try and play with them, but the realistic goal for this team is fourth place and making the playoffs."
This year, Latrobe is returning a relatively young group of starters, including top scorers Emma Kate Womack and Taley Dunaway, both juniors. Womack missed 10 games last year due to injury and is hoping to improve.
"I kind of felt like I let everyone down. It wasn't fun for me either to sit out," Womack said. "I practiced a lot over the summer, and hopefully it shows this season and my shooting percentage goes up."
In addition, Fenton hopes to bank on the experience gained last season, while improving upon turnovers.
"Last year, the biggest problem we had on our young team was turnovers," Fenton said. "We're trying to get an emphasis this year on making all of our possessions count. Last year, not only did we turn the ball over, but the other team went down for uncontested layups or easy layups and that wasn't helping us."
Latrobe will also have to overcome the height obstacle it will face, with many of the Wildcats standing at around 5-foot-7.
"We are extremely small, we don't have much height at all so rebounding is going to be a key for us," Fenton said. "We do have a lot of quickness since we have a lot of small players. We are hoping we can do some things that will play toward our quickness. We are working hard on our ball-handling and making better decisions not only in the fast break, but our offense."
The Wildcats welcome freshmen Maddy Kollar and Jess Havrilla alongside sophomore Anna Ayers.
"We haven't really been having great seasons," returning senior Kaity Finley said, "but we always try our best and maybe this year will be the year that we do make the playoffs with the younger girls as assets to the team."
The Wildcats have used clinics and summer camps to adapt to the addition of new talent, while working on improving their weaknesses for the upcoming season. The coaching staff can't ask for more.
"The girls are working really hard and the coaching staff is very pleased with the intensity and the desire that they have in practice," Fenton said. "Hopefully, it will carry over to this season. We had a lot of girls play a lot of minutes last year, and hopefully when we get into the season and start playing games that experience will help them down the road that they have been in situations like that before and it will show."

The Beacon Phenomenon
Bluetooth technology can be a useful tool for c-store retailers.By Steve Statler, Qualcomm Retail Solutions' Consulting Services Group
Prior to the advent of proximity beacons using Bluetooth Smart technology, convenience store owners were largely insulated against the disruptive effects of mobile technology.
Other retail categories have suffered dropping stock prices, management teams being culled and store closings because of the increased practice of showrooming: customers who price check with their smartphones and buy merchandise online while standing in a store. Due to the convenience element of the c-store business, smartphones haven't had the same effect. Although some consumers price-shop for gas on their phones, the response has not required huge technical investments from merchants.
While the smartphone hasn't disrupted the c-store, however, it is becoming ever-present in it.
So, what is a retail beacon and how is it disruptive? For most, Bluetooth technology is synonymous with getting your headset to talk to your phone. Three years ago, the industry ratified a new standard, Bluetooth 4.0, propelling many startups and some large companies to put Bluetooth to use in a completely different context.
Using Bluetooth technology, proximity beacons allow retailers to understand who is in their store and when they are there. It also provides the ability to engage customers in new and exciting ways, such as enabling mobile payments at the pump, personalizing digital displays, and analyzing and measuring the movements of customers.
Beacons are small, low-cost devices. They can be as tiny as a guitar pick, but are no larger than a couple of decks of cards, with costs as low as $5 to $10 apiece. Often, they are battery powered, allowing versatility of placement inside a gas pump or a beer cave, next to a point-of-sale terminal, a digital display, a category of snacks or an ice cream freezer. They simply alert mobile apps running on a customer's phone when the phone is close to a beacon.
These apps then infer how close the customer is, based on the strength of the signal. A weak signal means they are probably far away, with the opposite being true as well. The app can choose to do different things based on how strong the Bluetooth signal is. A single beacon can:
- Trigger an app to display a welcome message with the offer of the day or a loyalty points update when it detects a lower-strength signal from a customer arriving on the forecourt;
- Monitor presence in-store as the signal gets stronger when the customer enters the c-store; or
- Determine if the customer stood in line and measure for how long, as indicated by an even stronger signal.
Potentially, many apps can leverage the same beacon, whether it's the oil company's app, the c-store company's app, a loyalty wallet that works across different retailers, a social media app that enables check-ins and advertising, or perhaps the game that a passenger is playing in the back seat of the car.
Even though each mobile app is using the same beacon, they can provide a different and unique experience for the consumer.
In an industry where retailers' marketing dollars are in short supply, apps from consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands for the products sold in the c-store are particularly important. These companies possess marketing dollars, are already investing in mobile apps and have their eyes on the prize of a direct relationship with the consumer. Their apps often come in the form of novelties, games or entertainment offerings. By placing a beacon near the shelf or even building it into a promotional display, the CPG company can achieve a level of targeting and immediacy of message at the point of decision that previously has been hard to achieve.
It's been exciting to see the response to the beacon phenomenon. In an industry known for slow adoption due to fragmentation and thin margins, we are seeing rapid change and significant impacts on business. Most of the major players have beacons on their radar, and many are working on pilots now.
Who will the winners and losers be? There are ways for all types and sizes of retailers to take advantage of proximity beacons, but mid-sized retail brands have an advantage. They are large enough to spend the time on this opportunity and typically have the ownership and control of their stores needed for execution.
However, smaller jobbers are looking at their partners and suppliers of systems, and are leveraging what they are doing in a more packaged approach. The big players certainly have the volumes to invest more in apps and the systems to integrate payment, loyalty, digital displays and analytics.
Ultimately, the real winner will be the customer, when convenience stores become more convenient.

The world's tax havens are being forced to clean up their acts.
As regulators clamp down on money flows around the globe, governments, even those that prided themselves on the strength of their secrecy laws, like Switzerland, are facing pressure to share banking information and change their policies.
Now, private banks and wealth managers are scrambling to convert so-called black money - assets that have not been disclosed - into accounts that are above board.
The shift may provide opportunities for the industry. As more funds become legitimate, analysts say financial institutions will be able to sell extra wealth management products to affluent people and enter markets that had previously been off limits.
''There's much less black money now than three years ago,'' said Jean Schaffner, head of the Luxembourg tax practice at the law firm Allen & Overy. ''It's in the banks' interests for clients to come forward with their money.''
For decades, Western governments tolerated offshore tax havens, places where the wealthy could park millions away from the gaze of their domestic authorities. Switzerland, in particular, developed a reputation as a place where the wealthy could rely on secrecy laws.
The tide began to turn in 2008, particularly after the financial crisis prompted many governments to act in concert.
US authorities began pursuing UBS, the largest Swiss bank, saying it had helped thousands to hide money from the Internal Revenue Service.
UBS later settled with the US Justice Department, turning over details of 4450 client accounts and paying a fine of $US780 million in exchange for a deferred prosecution agreement. Other banks, including Credit Suisse and Julius Baer, have been ensnared by the broad investigation.
Global regulators followed with their own crackdown. For years, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development had tried to rein in offshore financial centres that did not meet certain requirements, such as failing to share tax information with other countries.
In 2009, the OECD compiled a blacklist for the Group of 20, which comprises the world's largest economies, exerting pressure on nations to be more forthcoming. To get off the list, several countries and regions, including Andorra, Costa Rica, the British Virgin Islands, Liechtenstein and Monaco, have since agreed to adopt international standards.
''People were defrauding countries because no one was sharing information with each other,'' said Pascal Saint-Amans, director of the centre for tax policy at the OECD in Paris, who has been co-ordinating much of the global overhaul in how tax havens operate. ''I want to crack down on secrecy, and we're doing just that.''
As Switzerland and other locales tightened their controls, many initially flocked to other tax havens like Singapore and Hong Kong, which still offer some of the world's most secret accounts. But these places, too, are facing new pressures.
Several European allies reached an agreement with the US in February to help enforce the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, which requires that virtually every financial institution in the world report any accounts held by Americans.
Many wealthy clients, who previously had not worried about revealing all their international assets to home authorities, are taking advantage of tax amnesty programs in countries like the United States and Britain. The global push against tax havens has been a boon for government coffers.
So far, countries have collected about $US18.7 billion ($18.1 billion) in additional taxes from more than 100,000 wealthy individuals, according to the OECD.
The situation has left private banks scrambling to bolster their risk management practices and educate wealthy clients on the new regulatory environment.
It's a costly process. Banks must stay on top of fast-changing global regulations, ensure that clients are paying tax on all their investments and improve their compliance efforts, for example, by reporting potential tax evasion to authorities.
Still, the changing dynamic could create some opportunities. Analysts say a leaner, more consolidated private banking sector will have greater resources to attract an increasing number of wealthy people from emerging economies. Swiss banks, which have a history of attracting foreign clients, have already expanded into Latin America and Asia, while Austrian banks have focused on Eastern Europe and Russia.
Keeping these new clients will not be easy. Following the financial crisis, the wealthy are demanding lower fees and transparency over where their money is invested.
They also have shied away from complicated financial products, like asset-backed securities, in favour of investments that can be easily sold if the markets take a turn for the worse.

WINTER PARK, Fla. - The pairings are set for the 2011 Sunshine State Conference Women's Soccer Championship. The tournament will begin with two quarterfinal games on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The semifinals will be hosted by top-seeded Saint Leo on Friday, Nov. 4, and the championship final will be contested on the Lions' pitch on Sunday, Nov. 6.
The top six teams in the final SSC regular-season standings earn a spot in the SSC Championship field.
With a conference clinching 1-0 win at Tampa on Thursday, Saint Leo (15-1-1, 7-0-1 SSC) tallied 22 points in conference play to secure the SSC regular-season title and the No. 1 seed for the SSC Championship. The Lions will receive a quarterfinal bye.
Rollins (12-1-2, 6-1 SSC) will host Eckerd on Friday evening in a match that was recently delayed due to inclement weather. Since the Tars currently have 18 points, the outcome of that contest will have no bearing on tournament seeding. The Tars have secured the No. 2 seed and the other quarterfinal bye.
Florida Tech (10-3-1, 4-3-1 SSC) received the No. 3 seed and will host No. 6 Nova Southeastern (9-4-2, 3-3-2 SSC) in a quarterfinal match on Tuesday. The Sharks posted 11 points on the season. The winner of Tuesday's tilt will advance to the semifinals to face No. 2 Rollins.
Both Tech and Tampa (10-5-2, 4-3-1 SSC) recorded 13 points in SSC competition. The teams battled to a scoreless tie when they met in their regular-season match. Florida Tech won the No. 3 seed by virtue of posting a +5 goal differential in SSC matches. Tampa registered a +4 differential in conference competition.
No. 4 Tampa will entertain No. 5 Lynn (9-5-1, 4-4 SSC) in Tuesday's other quarterfinal. The Knights concluded the regular-season with 12 points against SSC opponents. The winner of the showdown will advance to a semifinal date with top-seeded Saint Leo.

wigglestix - you're on the right track. Go to cowpatty's website and read about the genpmk utility, which you can use to create precompiled hash files specific to your AP ESSID.
genpmk requires a password file as imput so pick your favorite password list and use that. You can get a really large password list at the Renderlab's Church of Wifi website (look for 9-final-wordlist.zip). If you open this in windows or add to in Windows, be sure to run the fromdos utility on it (included in BT4) before running genpmk. You can also use John the Ripper output as the password list for genpmk. It takes a little while to create the hash file, but it's worth the time because it really speeds up cracking. Please also note that the AP passphrase must be contained in your password list file.

Jones Seminar: Aim High!
Robert Hargraves, Institute for Lifelong Education at Dartmouth (ILEAD)
Friday, September 24, 2010, 3:30pm
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
Aim High proposes using thorium energy to address environmental problems. Mankind's fossil fuel burning releases CO2 into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and deadly air pollution. Natural resources are rapidly being depleted by world population growth. Safe, inexpensive energy from the liquid fluoride thorium reactor can stop much global warming and raise prosperity of humanity to adopt US and OECD lifestyles, which include lower, sustainable birth rates.
Oak Ridge first developed molten salt reactor technology in 1958-1976. Thorium fuel is transformed to uranium-233 which fissions, producing heat and electric power at a cost less than that from coal power plants — the only way to dissuade developing nations from burning coal. Thorium produces less than 1% of the long-lived radioactive waste of today's nuclear power plants. Existing nuclear power plant waste can be consumed. One ton of plentiful thorium costing $300,000 provides 1 GW-year of electric energy, enough for a city. A 5-year NASA-style shoot-the-moon project can complete technology development of this inexpensive, safe, clean power.
About the Speaker
Robert Hargraves co-authored Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors in the July/August 2010 issue of American Scientist. He is currently teaching Energy Policy and Environmental Choices: Rethinking Nuclear Power at Dartmouth ILEAD in Hanover NH. He was Chief Information Officer at Boston Scientific 1994-2000, senior consultant at Arthur D. Little 1982-1994, Vice President Metropolitan Life Insurance Company 1980-1982, President of DTSS Incorporated 1972-1980, and Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Associate Director of Kiewit Computation Center at Dartmouth College 1967-1978. He earned a Ph.D. in high energy physics from Brown University 1967, and an A.B. majoring in both mathematics and physics at Dartmouth College 1961.

As a part of addressing sustainability of projects in rural Alaska, capital funding and constructing agencies require communities to complete a business plan for projects that are being built. Whether it is a water system, wastewater system, bulk fuel farm or power plant, the need for a solid business plan to achieve sustainability is apparent.
This need prompted each individual agency to create a business plan model that suited their particular agencies needs. The different formats of these plans often required the same information be presented in a different format, order or manner. If a community received project funding from two different agencies, they would be required to do two different business plans in differing formats.
In addition to possibly having to complete two separate plans, there were no provisions in the plan to address how each project may affect the other. This has lead to a confusing system that ultimately does not benefit the community in developing a plan that will lay the framework for sustainable infrastructure.
At the urging of rural policy groups, the Department of Community and Economic Development's (Commerce) Rural Utility Business Advisor (RUBA) program, sought and received funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to create a template model that would streamline community business plans for each of the agencies involved in rural Alaska capital projects.
The Business Planning for Rural Alaska Utilities guidebook and template allow a community to develop its own business plan in an easy-to-follow and logical format that will also satisfy each funding agency's requirements for a project business plan. The plan is not meant to be a "one size fits all" approach because the various infrastructure projects have unique needs. The template is intended to be flexible and allow for easy expansion and contraction to accommodate the needs of the agencies while not overly burdening the community. Ultimately, the business plan is a valuable tool for the community to use -- not just another agency hoop to jump through.

text: The idea behind this website is that the authors of the site collect and encourage accounts from the men & women who experienced WW2 first hand whether at home or abroad. I commend the authors on an excellent website, some of the accounts are harrowing other amusing, but all of them are stories that need to be told, preserved and remembered. Highly recommended.

Print A tradition of 3 generations. Boulet Boots have been creating quality boots since 1933. Original founder Georges-Alidor Boulet established "G.A. Boulet, Inc." in Quebec, Canada which eventually became Boulet Boots. The small town, with a population of roughly four thousand, was known their quality of labor and was known as "The Leather Town" because of it's production of quality leather good and shoes. Boulet Boots would definitely benefit from that work ethic and reputation. Since Boulet Boots was producing some of the highest quality boots at the time, the Canadian government commissioned Boulet Boots to produce all of their military footwear during World War II. In the 1960s, the next generation of Boulet's: Roger, Reynald and Robert assumed responsibility of the company. A company they had been working at since they were very young boys. With that move came the next step in the progression of this storied company. Boulet Boots became the first company in Canada to produce cowboy boots. They continue to specialize in 100% Goodyear Welt construction. In time, third generation Boulet Boots owners, Pierre, Guy and Louis ensure the company maintains their tradition of excellence which makes Boulet one of the best boot makers in the country. Boulet Cowboy Boots are sold in over 15 countries and their durability and comfort is know by cowboys all over the world.

I have two pages- The first contains a single link to the second page. For some reason FF on a MAC is not jumping to the top of the body on teh second page. I have tried setting id="anchor-name and link to the anchor form the first page but it still will not work. On FF for MAC the link is going to a specific place each time in down the body of the next page.
I don't see a link on that page. What is causing the issue?
Sorry, I am still working on it, but the link is right in the center of the footer "Enter"
Ah, right. I did see it eventually, but I recommend you rethink this. You will lose a lot of visitors who don't know what to do with that page. The Enter link is tiny and hard to see, depending on where the link appears over the background. Intro pages like this kind of went out a long time ago, and with good reason, I think. Why not just have that intro at the top of the page, along with the other content?
Anyhow, to the issue at hand: I've looked quite a bit and can't see why the page is jumping to that spot, but it happens in every browser for me. It's not JS that's causing it, as I've tired with that turned off. :-/
Thank you for looking at it. I the id anchor and link worked on some. It puzzles me too. And thank you for your advise on the site. The size is on my list of small tweaks left. I also like the idea of just keeping it all on one scroll page. But how do I make the header which is currently fixed work? If I create a target link to the header navigation how then do I keep it fixed for the rest of the scroll?
On line 245 of the HTML is a #contact-form line that says:
Name: (required)
<input placeholder="Please enter your name" type="text" tabindex="1" required autofocus>
Delete the word "autofocus" to fix the problem.
Thank you! You the man. Although I have taken the approach mentioned previously buy keeping everything on a single page. I will post a new topic as this problem is resolved.
Thank you for the feedback.
Yes, new issues should be posted in new threads.
Nice catch, Ron.
