SITE NEWS

As every August I will once again be away for 10 days this month starting on August 8th through August 19th. What this means is that all news and results may not be regularly covered during my absence. I have a couple people who may help out if time permits, but I do not expect anyone else to carry the load that I normally undertake. I will try and update anything if I have wifi access, but normally that is hard to come by in the locations where I will be. Thank you all for understanding and also for your continued support.
