Vote comes to Concordia after spending the past five seasons as an assistant coach at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa. Over the past four seasons, Vote served as the Beavers' top assistant. He also served as a student assistant for BVU during the 2007-08 season. In addition, Vote worked as a camp clinician at the University of Iowa wrestling camps in 2006.
At Buena Vista, Vote helped guide three All-Americans, six national qualifiers and four Academic All-Americans.
Before becoming a coach, Vote wrestled at both 149 and 157 pounds for the Beavers during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons. A two-time letter winner with Buena Vista, Vote wrestled for Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge for two seasons and was a national qualifier.
Vote graduated from Buena Vista in 2008 with a degree in exercise science and sports management.
Concordia University, Nebraska, Head Wrestling Coach Dana Vote introduced former two-time National Champion Glenn Rhees as the Bulldog's Graduate Assistant Wrestling Coach on Thursday.
"I am excited to bring in an individual that possesses such a decorated history on the mat, yet more importantly Glenn brings the type of character we strive to build here at Concordia," Vote said.
In addition to his competitive accolades, Rhees brings four years of coaching experience to Concordia. His coaching career began in the spring of 2008 at Mason City High School (Iowa), and over the next two seasons Rhees served as the Freestyle Head Coach for the Mohawks. He went on to become Freestyle Head Coach for Knoxville High School (Iowa) in 2010 and the Head Assistant Coach at Fairfield High School (Iowa) in 2011.
Rhees graduated from Grand View University (Iowa) in 2011 with a degree in liberal arts and a minor in psychology. He wrestled for the Vikings in 2010 and 2011, capturing the 174-pound NAIA National Championship in 2010 and finishing second overall in 2011. Rhees began his collegiate career at North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) in Mason City. Rhees' first National Championship came as a Trojan in 2009 when he won the 174-pound junior college title. His combined individual record collegiate record was 82-12, including 26-3 at NIACC.
"I'm honored to join the Concordia staff and assist Coach Vote as we instill a championship mentality and lifestyle throughout the Bulldog program," Rhees said.
Concordia University, Nebraska Head Wrestling Coach Dana Vote will welcome 2010 NCAA Division III All-American and Buena Vista University (Iowa) transfer Austin Mogg into the fold for the 2013-14 athletic season. Mogg, who officially signed with the Bulldogs on Thursday (June 28), will redshirt his first season on campus and will then have one season of eligibility remaining beginning in the winter of 2013.
The El Reno, Okla., native collected 92 wins while wrestling at 125 pounds in three seasons for Buena Vista, where Vote spent the last five seasons as an assistant coach. Mogg finished fifth in his weight class at the 2010 NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships and earned All-American status.
As a prep at El Reno High School in Oklahoma, Mogg secured top-three individual finishes all four years while competing at 125 pounds. The 5-foot-6 grappler won the 125-pound title his senior season, following second-place finishes as a freshman and as a junior.

Monday marked the first day of a new era in Bulldog wrestling for a number of reasons. First-year head coach Dana Vote began his implementation of a rigorous, high-energy practice philosophy inside the confines of a shiny, new facility. Located within the renovated PE Building, the freshly-minted wrestling room housed its first official practice on Monday.
The addition of the wrestling room was part of the PE Building renovation project that began this past summer. The overhaul also saw the installation of an equipment room, athletic training room, weight room, athletics staff offices and more classrooms.
With the wrestling room now complete, Concordia boasts one of the finest wrestling practice facilities in the NAIA.
Fellow senior Jordan Fowlkes echoed Starkey's comments and added that the facility upgrades will give the Bulldogs a competitive advantage.
In order to become champions, Vote believes that his team must be in better condition than the opposition. Starkey, an NAIA National Championships qualifier at 149 pounds last season, has noticed considerable change already, even with just one practice in the books.
Vote took to the mat himself, going head-to-head with Fowlkes for a good portion of Monday's practice. Vote, a Gilmore City, Iowa, native, lettered twice as a wrestler at Buena Vista during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons.
Despite a roster that contains only 15 names, Fowlkes and company are striving for success on a national stage.
Vote believes Monday's first practice inside the sparkling new wrestling room was simply the start of something big.
Head coach Dana Vote and the Bulldog wrestling program will hold a fall clinic for grades K-12 on Sunday, Nov. 4 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The three-hour clinic will take place inside the brand new wrestling room within the renovated PE Building. The cost is $25 for those who pre-register and $30 for those who choose to pay at the door. Team rates are also available for those who call ahead.

A breath of fresh air has been breathed into the Concordia wrestling program, which saw the addition of first-year head coach Dana Vote and a new wrestling practice facility during the offseason. Vote, most recently the top assistant at NCAA Division III Buena Vista University (Iowa), has quickly sought to cultivate a championship attitude and approach in each of his wrestlers.
"The championship lifestyle that we're preaching here is just doing the right things all the time," Vote said. "Whether you want to do it or not, do it anyway. That means getting the right amount of sleep, doing the right things in the classroom, doing the right things in the wrestling room.
Vote hopes his program of high-energy practices will allow the Bulldogs to offset some of the roster turnover that included the losses of three All-Americans from a squad that finished 19th as a team at nationals last year. However, seven wrestlers who have National Championships experience are back in the fold for 2012-13.
Headed by senior Brandon Starkey at 149 pounds and junior Dillon Heesch, ranked as the No. 10 heavyweight in the nation at the conclusion of last season, the Bulldogs plan to have several more individuals make a splash on the national stage.
Other former national qualifiers include Alex Stepanek (133), Alfredo Torres (184), Seth Crane (184) and Frank Ayala (285). While the overall numbers are low, the Bulldogs believe the quality of their lineup will allow them to compete in a difficult GPAC field.
Unfortunately, Concordia will likely be without senior standout Jordan Fowlkes (125) this season as he recovers from a neck injury that also sidelined him last year. However, the Bulldogs should be able to fill out the remaining nine spots in the lineup with quality wrestlers, including two who are ranked individually to begin the season: Crane (No. 15 in the NAIA at 184) and Heesch (No. 8 at 285).
Stepanek, a junior from St. Paul, Neb., returns after eclipsing the 20-win mark last season. He is making the transition from 141 last season to 133 this year, opening the door for freshman Chandler Brandert (Adams, Neb.) at 141. Brandert has already shown a lot of improvement in practice, according to Vote.
Starkey serves as the team's leader and most experienced wrestler at 149. The St. Paul, Neb., native, who has competed in 97 matches as a Bulldog, is expected to be high on the stand by season's end. Brandon Starkey is joined on this year's squad by his younger brother in incoming freshman Austin, who was a three-time Nebraska high school state runner up. Austin will compete with junior Martin Dobler for time at 157.
The Starkey sibling rivalry has created an interesting dynamic at practice.
Junior Nick Sheppard and sophomore Kale Hintz come in next at 165 and 174, respectively, while Cameron Bruce holds down 197 after a prep career that included two state qualifier appearances in Kansas.
The Bulldogs have the most depth at 184 and 285, with two potential All-Americans at each spot. Vote says both Crane and Torres at 184 have set a great example for the rest of the team through their hard work. At 285, Ayala and Heesch have their sights set on earning a place on the stand come early March after falling short in past seasons. Heesch will first have to overcome injury to get back on the mat.
Concordia begins the season just outside the NAIA Wrestling Coaches' Preseason Top 20 Poll, grouped in the "others receiving votes" category. While conference and national titles may be out of reach this season, Vote plans to take Bulldog wrestling to great heights in a timely fashion.
In this his first season at the helm, in only the fourth season of the program's existence, Vote says his grapplers will focus on enjoying great individual seasons.
Buena Vista transfer Austin Mogg (133) will make a big impact next season after he redshirts during the 2012-13 campaign. Mogg, who has one season of eligibility left, is a 2010 NCAA Division III All-American with 92 career collegiate victories under his belt. His arrival, along with the determination of the current roster, signals a bright future for Concordia wrestling.
The Bulldogs will take to the mat for the first time under Vote at the Swede Open on Saturday. The event, hosted by Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kan., gets started at 9 a.m. Vote will debut at home on Nov. 29 when Concordia welcomes York College for a dual meet.
LINDSBORG, Kan. – First-year head coach Dana Vote took his Bulldog wrestling squad into competition for the first time and came away with four individuals who locked down spots on the medal stand at the Swede Open, hosted by Bethany College (Kan.) on Saturday.
Seventeen teams/clubs were represented at Saturday's open tournament that included several unattached individuals. Highly-ranked NAIA schools such as No. 4 Baker (Kan.), No. 14 Oklahoma City and No. 19 York took part in the event in which no team scores were kept.
Concordia junior Alex Stepanek led the way with a third-place finish at 133, while seniors Frank Ayala (285) and Brandon Starkey (157) and sophomore Seth Crane (184) each carved out fourth place finishes.
Stepanek, a native of St. Paul, Neb., pinned Anthony Calderon of Fort Hays State in 4:58 after receiving a bye in the first round. Stepanek then shook off a quarterfinal loss to Oak Hill Wrestling Club's Tony Livengood to win his final four bouts of the day, including a 10-8 decision over York's Marcus Banducci in the third-place match.
Starkey, a national qualifier last season and St. Paul, Neb., native, began the 2012 season at 157, straying from his customary 149 weight class in which he figures to return to soon. Despite a size disadvantage against several of his competitors, Starkey claimed victories in three of his five bouts.
Starkey ultimately fell to Oklahoma City's Mark Meyer (ranked No. 16 in the NAIA at 157) 7-2 in the third place match to close out his day.
Crane, a sophomore from North Platte, Neb., also went 3-2 on the day to claim fourth place. He pinned Oklahoma City's Cody Sivertsen in a quarterfinal match prior to dropping a 5-0 decision to Baker's Parker Owen in the third-place match.
Ayala had a similar day at 285. The West Covina, Calif., native won by pin over Baker's Chris Tackett in a consolation match and then squeaked by York's Ray Johnson 11-10 to set himself up against Bacone's Cesar Ponce in the third-place bout. Ponce came away with a 6-2 triumph.
Chandler Brandert (141), Peter Ovens (157), Martin Dobler (157), Nick Sheppard (165), Kale Hintz (174) and Cameron Bruce (197) also took to the mat on Saturday for Concordia. Hintz recorded a pin and a victory by major decision, while Bruce also posted one pin.
Overall, Vote was pleased with the way his team began the 2012-13 season. He said that the Bulldogs exceeded his expectations for the first time out. However, he pointed out that there is plenty of room for improvement.
The Bulldogs will return to the mat on Saturday, Nov. 17 when they travel to the University of Nebraska-Kearney Open in Kearney, Neb.
KEARNEY, Neb. – Concordia freshman Austin Starkey, wrestling collegiately for the first time, held his own against top-notch competition at Saturday's University of Nebraska-Kearney Holiday Inn Open. While no Bulldogs made it to the medal stand, Starkey went 2-2 at 157 and took Labette Community College's Jeromy Davenport (ranked as the No. 2 JUCO at 157) to overtime before falling 6-4.
The UNK Open included representatives from 43 different schools, including several quality NAIA programs as well as stout NCAA Division I and II squads. No team scores were kept at the event hosted by Nebraska Kearney, the top-ranked team at the NCAA Division II level. The open tournament featured both elite (mostly juniors and seniors) and amateur (mostly freshmen and sophomores) divisions.
Sophomore Seth Crane (184) took down an NCAA Division I foe in Air Force's Vance Hawk by an 8-4 score. Crane, who placed fourth at 184 in last week's Swede Open, completed the day at 1-2.
Freshman Chandler Brandert also picked up a win by topping New Mexico Highlands' Dan Gaylor 6-2 at 141. Brandert also went 1-2 at the event.
After leading Concordia with a third-place individual finish at last week's Swede Open, junior Alex Stepanek (133) went 0-2 with losses against University of Wyoming's Kasey Garnhart by pin and versus Central Oklahoma's Trison Graham by a 9-2 decision.
While Vote hoped for a little better results, he knew his Bulldogs were up against some of the nation's top wrestlers.
"We wrestled against tough competition," Vote said. "It was good to get out early and see what that kind of competition is all about. It shows us where we need to get.
Concordia, listed in the "others receiving votes" category in the preseason coaches' poll, are off until Nov. 29 when the Bulldogs host 19th-ranked York for their first dual meet of the season. Action will get started at 7 p.m. The Panthers won last year's meeting 37-15.
SEWARD, Neb. – The Bulldogs and first-year head coach Dana Vote struggled to a 36-12 defeat in Concordia's 2012-13 home opening wrestling dual on Thursday. Visiting and 17th-ranked York College (1-0) spoiled the party by racing out to a 21-0 lead to open the match.
On a night with few individual triumphs for the Bulldogs (0-1), freshman Austin Starkey (3-2) continued to look surprisingly comfortable in only the fifth match of his young collegiate career. The rookie looked like anything but as he scored a 6-4 upset of the NAIA's fourth-ranked grappler at 157 in the Panthers' Robert Eklund. Starkey's decision got Concordia on the board and brought life to the Walz Arena crowd.
"I just went in there knowing what I had to do," Starkey said. "I just kept working. Coach has been on us that we have to fight in every position and that's what I did.
The young Starkey caught the attention of Vote immediately in practice and burst onto the scene with a great performance at the University of Nebraska-Kearney Open on Nov. 17. Starkey built upon his near miss against the second-ranked JUCO in the nation at 157 to pull off Thursday's stunner.
Sophomore Seth Crane recorded the Bulldogs' only pin of the night when he nailed down York's Joey Massay at the edge of the mat in 2:36. Crane, a native of North Platte, Neb., who is ranked No. 14 in the NAIA at 184, improved to 5-4 on the season and racked up his second pin.
Heavyweight Frank Ayala (5-4) then concluded the night by staving off the Panthers' Raymond Johnson 5-4, providing Concordia's final tallies. Ayala, a senior from West Covina, Calif., bounced back admirably after going 0-2 against tough competition at the UNK Open.
Nationally-ranked York, coached by former Concordia assistant Ramon Diaz, brought five ranked wrestlers into Thursday's competition. Collectively, the Panthers took four of five decisions in those weight classes with pins by sixth-ranked Joshua Lopez at 141 and by 10th-ranked Bradlee Carls at 197.
The lopsided loss leaves the Bulldogs with plenty of things to work on, but Vote is confident his group will get back to the room and get after it.
Concordia now faces a quick turnaround as it prepares for the Simpson College Invite on Saturday. The action from Indianola, Iowa, will pick up at 9 a.m. Live results will be provided by Track Wrestling.
INDIANOLA, Iowa – Just two days after hosting their first dual of the 2012-13 season, the Bulldogs were back in action at the 13-team Simpson College Invitational on Saturday. Concordia senior Frank Ayala earned a sixth place finish in the heavyweight bracket to headline the day in Indianola, Iowa. As a team, Concordia finished 10th with 43.0 total points.
The Simpson Invite featured several top NAIA and NCAA Division III teams, including the NAIA's top-ranked team in Grand View (Iowa), which boasts three No. 1-ranked individuals. NCAA Division III No. 1 Wartburg (Iowa) and No. 4 Coe (Iowa) also took part in the loaded tournament at Simpson College.
Ayala (8-6) took sixth place thanks to consecutive victories in the consolation bracket at 285. Following a 6-2 win over Coe's Cory Becker in his first match, Ayala was sent to consolation round two after being pinned by Grand View's Eric Thompson in 1:35.
But the West Covina, Calif., native rebounded with a pin of North Iowa Area Community College's Alex Stockton in 4:07 and then a 3-1 overtime decision over Glenn Cothren of Iowa Lakes Community College. Ayala then lost his final bout by an 8-3 score to Central Missouri's Zotaih Tuaquoi with a trip to the consolation final match on the line. The sixth place finish marks Ayala's second tournament placing this season on the heels of a fourth place finish at the Swede Open on Nov. 10.
Freshman Austin Starkey (6-4) won three of his five matches on the day at 157. He picked up a pair of major decisions and pinned Coe's Dylan McLaughlin in 2:24 for the second pin of his young collegiate career.
Bulldog junior Seth Crane (184) pushed his season mark to 7-6 by splitting his four matches at the Simpson Invite. He put forth perhaps his most impressive performance in a 4-2 defeat up against Basil Minto of North Iowa Area Community College. Minto went on to capture the individual title at 184.
A total of nine wrestlers represented Concordia in competition on Saturday. Alex Stepanek (133), Chandler Brandert (141) and Kale Hintz (174) also recorded at least one victory apiece on the day. The Bulldogs' eight pins were the fifth most among the 13 teams at the Invite.
Grand View posted a team title at the event with 223.5 points compared to 158.5 for second place Wartburg.
Vote will return to his alma mater next Saturday as the Bulldogs compete in the Buena Vista University Open in Storm Lake, Iowa. The action will begin at 9 a.m.
STORM LAKE, Iowa – Head coach Dana Vote brought the Bulldogs back to his alma mater on Saturday as part of the Buena Vista University Open in Storm Lake, Iowa. Senior Brandon Starkey emerged from the dust with a fifth-place finish while wrestling for the first time this season at 149. Both junior Alex Stepanek (133) and senior Frank Ayala (285) dropped fifth-place bouts of their own en route to claiming sixth place.
The tournament field included representatives from NAIA No. 1 Grand View (Iowa), No. 6 Morningside, No. 16 Midland, No. 20 York, (RV) Northwestern, (RV) William Penn (Iowa), (RV) Central Baptist (Ark.), Briar Cliff and NCAA schools Augustana (S.D.), Northwest Missouri, Southwest Minnesota State, Wayne State and host Buena Vista. No team scores were kept.
Starkey, who entered the day with a record of 3-4 at 157, placed at a tournament for the second time this season and for the 11th time in his career by winning four matches on the day, including a 4-2 decision over Morningside's Taylor Phipps in his final competition of the day. He began the day by breezing past Briar Cliff's Evan Lynn 16-1 for a technical fall victory before taking down Midland's Nick Schroeder (8-7) and William Penn's Lane Colwell (9-2) in the consolation bracket.
Stepanek, a St. Paul, Neb., native nearly fought his way to the finals of the consolation bracket before falling in a narrow 2-1 decision to Central Baptist's Antonia Rivera in the fifth-place match. Stepanek pushed his season win total to 12 by grabbing five more wins on Saturday. He defeated a host of conference opponents in Morningside's Carter Tegeler (pin; 3:45), Briar Cliff's Albert Voss (pin; 4:43) and Hunter Langley (pin; 4:11) and Northwestern's Richard Ortiz (6-4).
Ayala remained in the championship bracket by scoring pins over his first two opponents in Midland's Micah Kekela (3:22) and Buena Vista's Gable Bonner (3:52) before getting bounced to the consolation bracket. Like Stepanek, Ayala lost by a single point (1-0) in the fifth-place bout in which Briar Cliff's Brian Ervin served as the opponent.
A total of nine wrestlers represented Concordia at the event with seven of the nine winning at least one match on the day. Overall, Bulldog wrestlers went 18-20 with 10 pins and one win by technical fall. Chandler Brandert (141), who went 3-2 with a pair of pins on the day, and Austin Starkey (157), who went 2-2 with one pin, joined Brandon Starkey, Ayala and Stepanek as Concordia grapplers with multiple wins at Buena Vista.
GPAC wrestlers who claimed individual crowns included Briar Cliff's Joseph Weber (149), Midland's Sterling Terry (157), Morningside's Rulin Pederson (174), Midland's Kolton Kersten (197) and Morningside's Tyler Kacmarynski (285).
Concordia is back on the road next Saturday when it will compete at the Raven Duals hosted by Benedictine College (Kan.). The event will get started at 9 a.m. in Atchison, Kan.
ATCHISON, Kan. – Concordia grapplers competed at the first-ever Raven Duals on Saturday at Benedictine College's Ralph Nolan Gymnasium. The Bulldogs won their first match of the day before taking their lumps against quality opponents in the final three dual meets in Atchison, Kan.
Concordia defeated NJCAA Northwest Kansas Technical College 33-19 in a bout that began at 8 a.m. The Bulldogs then fell 30-9 to NAIA Wayland Baptist (Texas), 47-0 to NCAA Division II Fort Hays State (Kan.) and 33-7 to NAIA No. 13-ranked Missouri Baptist to conclude the event. All three losses came to teams either ranked or receiving votes in the national rankings.
Senior Brandon Starkey (149), freshman Austin Starkey (157) and sophomore Seth Crane (184) each went 2-2 on the day to lead the Bulldogs. With his two triumphs, Austin Starkey reached the 10-win plateau for the season, while Brandon Starkey and Crane both have nine victories.
The Raven Duals also featured NAIA No. 6 Morningside, No. 20 York (Neb.), host (RV) Benedictine (Kan.), (RV) Central Baptist (Ark.) and (RV) Truett-McConnell (Ga.).
Complete individual results for the Raven Duals are unavailable at this time.
Concordia is now idle until Jan. 10 when Briar Cliff visits Seward for a 7 p.m. GPAC-opening dual.
SEWARD, Neb. – Four Bulldog wrestlers notched individual wins on Thursday night despite visiting Briar Cliff coming away with a 30-12 victory. The dual marked the GPAC opener for head coach Dana Vote's grapplers, who claimed individual victories at 141, 157, 165 and 174.
Stepanek, a junior who wrestled at 133 in his first 25 matches this season, moved up to 141 to take on the Chargers' Devin DeRocher. Stepanek, a native of St. Paul, Neb., controlled the match from start to finishing taking a 2-0 lead after his first period takedown and then a 4-0 lead at the end of two periods with a reversal. Stepanek (13-13) finished with a 7-2 victory, with a point added for riding time.
"I didn't know what to expect going in. I just bumped up weight classes this week with a difference in strength," Stepanek said. "The good thing for me is that he actually is a 133-pounder but bumped up for this dual.
With Concordia trailing 18-3 after four matches, the Starkey brothers claimed the next two victories at 157 and 165 for the Bulldogs. Brandon (157) got an early takedown of the Chargers' Aaron Largey and then added to his lead with an escape and a takedown in the second period for a 5-1 advantage. The St. Paul, Neb., native got one more takedown in the final period for a 7-2 triumph, his 10th of the season and 63rd of his career.
Brandon's younger brother Austin faced a 7-2 first period deficit in his bout with Dillon Freeman at 165. Austin came back to within 7-6 at the end of the second period before scoring a pair of takedowns in the third period that allowed for an 11-11 tie. Starkey completed a 13-11 overtime win to move to 11-8 on the season.
Concordia fell behind 30-9 going into the heavyweight match in which the Bulldogs' Ayala shook off a defeat to the Chargers' Brian Ervin earlier this season for a better result this time around. The Concordia senior from West Covina, Calif., took a 6-4 decision on Thursday thanks to a reversal and a takedown in the third period following a 2-2 tie at the conclusion of two periods. Ayala improved to 11-14 on the season.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs suffered back-to-back close losses at 174 and 184 where Nick Sheppard and Kale Hintz both fell by just two points. Hintz's loss came by a 6-4 score in overtime when Briar Cliff's Dan Harvey ended the match with a takedown.
Concordia won four of the eight bouts that were contested. The Bulldogs had open weights at 125 and 133.
Briar Cliff's Joseph Weber (149) and Jordan Watkins (197) recorded the only two pins on the night.
For Vote, the improvements his team must make are clear.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Saturday at the Quality Hotel Open hosted by Hastings College. The individual bracket-style event will get started at 9 a.m. Concordia will return to Walz Arena on Jan. 17 when it welcomes Northwestern to Seward for another GPAC dual.
HASTINGS, Neb. – The Bulldogs got back on the mat Saturday at the Quality Hotel Open in Hastings, Neb., two days after a 30-12 GPAC-opening defeat to Briar Cliff. Concordia seniors Frank Ayala and Brandon Starkey headlined the day as Ayala placed third and Starkey fourth in an event that featured wrestlers from a variety of levels, including NCAA Division I.
Starkey capped the day with a record of 4-2, earning two sudden victories and a pin of Hastings' Mike Ganny in 4:41 to get the third-place match. That's where Starkey fell 13-6 to University of Nebraska-Kearney's Colton Johnson. Starkey's fourth-place finish marked his third tournament placement this season and the 12th in his solid Bulldog career.
At 285, Ayala took a 3-1 decision over Bethany's (Kan.) Tyler Smith and pinned Buena Vista's Gable Bonner in 2:56 to get to the third-place bout. The West Covina, Calif., native squared off with Smith again and recorded a sudden victory to notch his team-leading fourth tournament placement of the season.
Austin Starkey continued a fine freshman campaign by posting wins over competitors from Augustana and Arizona State as he finished the day at 2-2.
A total of eight Bulldogs competed on the day at the Quality Hotel Open with five wrestlers grabbing at least one victory. On the day Concordia grapplers totaled 11 victories, three by falls. Stepanek, Brandon Starkey and Ayala each recorded one pin apiece.
Three Concordia wrestlers are now tied for the team lead with 14 wins. Ayala (14-15), Brandon Starkey (14-10) and Stepanek (14-14) are deadlocked for that distinction.
The Bulldogs will host their second GPAC dual on Thursday, Jan. 17 when they welcome Northwestern to Seward. The action will begin at 7 p.m. inside Walz Arena and will be webcast live via the Concordia Sports Network.
SEWARD, Neb. – Concordia senior Brandon Starkey was given the option: wrestle at his customary 157 weight class or move up to 165 and take on Northwestern's top grappler in seventh-ranked Zach Fishman. Starkey, not one to back down from a challenge, chose the latter and wound up with a dominant upset victory to carry the Bulldogs to a 24-19 dual win over conference foe Northwestern inside Walz Arena on Thursday.
The elder Starkey started out slow in falling behind 2-1 after the first period. The fireworks started soon after as the St. Paul, Neb., native notched three second-period takedowns to pull in front 7-4. Playing the role of aggressor, Starkey went for three more takedowns in the final stanza en route to a 13-6 win, just short of a major decision.
For Starkey, who improved to 15-10 on the season, his philosophy was simple. With Fishman on his heels, Starkey pounced like a shark getting a whiff of blood in the water.
For Vote, a first-year head coach, it's his first dual victory at the helm of the Bulldogs.
Even with Starkey's surprise win at 165, Concordia trailed 15-9 and needed more big performances. Junior Alex Stepanek relinquished a 6-1 lead before scoring a third period takedown and adding a point for riding time to secure a 9-6 win over the Red Raiders' Nathan Manfull at 141. Bulldog junior Martin Dobler then used a late escape to squeak out a 3-2 decision over Roger Fender at 149 to put Concordia within 12-6.
After Brandon's brother Austin fell 13-6 to John Lynch at 157, Brandon began a run of three-consecutive victories for the Bulldogs. Concordia junior Nick Sheppard (174) rallied back from an 8-4 deficit to eke out an 11-10 decision thanks to a point for riding time.
That set the stage for the only pin of the night with Concordia's Kale Hintz (184) stepping onto the mat against Northwestern's Luis Rivera-Santiago. Hintz led 5-4 after the first period and held a 9-6 advantage when he wiped out Rivera-Santiago in 4:48 to claim his fourth pin of the season.
Hintz's pin staked the Bulldogs to an 18-15 lead and clinched the match with the Red Raiders having an open weight at 285, where Frank Ayala got credit for his 15th victory of the campaign.
Vote's Bulldogs showed vast improvement in comparison to their GPAC dual with Briar Cliff one week ago. Vote especially liked the toughness and resiliency his team showed in coming back from early deficits.
"Guys just wrestled tough," Vote said. "We talked about it before the dual. It's an attitude. We just got to fight for seven minutes and out-tough these guys and we did it. Three of the matches that we won we were down at one point in the match. We just kept coming back.
Concordia will step outside the GPAC for a rematch at No. 19 York at 7 p.m. on Jan. 24. The Panthers picked up a 36-12 win at Walz Arena on Nov. 29.
YORK, Neb. – Concordia junior Nick Sheppard continued his impressive run of late by pinning York's Joe Massey in 6:18 at Thursday night's dual in York, Neb. The Bulldogs won four of the seven contested matches over the host Panthers before York ultimately secured a 29-21 victory at the Freeman Center.
Sheppard, who had wrestled at either 165 or 174 all season, moved up to 184 on Thursday. Massey took a 3-0 lead into the third period after gaining three near fall points in the second period. Sheppard, a native of Engelwood, Colo., then stunned the home crowd with a sudden strike that eliminated Massey with :42 left in the final period.
With the victory, Sheppard picked up his second-consecutive dual win following last week's 11-10 decision over Northwestern's Yutaka Rodriguez at 174.
Senior Brandon Starkey also picked up where he left off from last Thursday's team dual triumph over Northwestern. He moved back to his customary 157-pound weight class against York and squeaked out a 4-3 decision over Bryan Magno. Starkey (16-10) came back from a modest 2-1 deficit after the first period to nab his seventh win in his last nine matches.
Faced with a 12-0 team deficit, Alex Stepanek (16-15) got the Bulldogs on the board at 141 with an impressive 7-1 decision over Wes Negley. Stepanek controlled the match throughout and tacked on a point for riding time. In doing so, the native of St. Paul, Neb., avenged a loss to York in the Nov. 29 dual when he fell 9-0 to A.J. Jaramillo.
Senior Frank Ayala (16-15) notched Concordia's last win of the night in the heavyweight bout. Just like the first time around in a dual meet against York's Raymond Johnson, this match went down to the wire. Ayala just looked to hold position as the third period buzzer sounded, giving the West Covina, Calif., native an 8-7 decision. Ayala, who lost to Johnson in their most recent battle, defeated his York counterpart 5-4 back on Nov. 29.
Sheppard, who is glad to be back on the mat after missing a large portion of this season with an injury, complimented his teammates for their hard work in the wrestling room. That devotion to the "championship lifestyle" has turned into better results despite a roster low in numbers.
York's 16th-ranked Nicholas Clarke was a runaway winner by technical fall at 149 over Martin Dobler. The Panthers got pins from Kyle Wichman at 165 and by Bradlee Carls, who clinched the dual win with a fall in 1:34 against Cameron Bruce at 197.
Concordia hits the mats for what Vote believes will be his team's most difficult challenge all season on at the Grand View Open on Saturday. The field includes host and NAIA No. 1-ranked Grand View as well as individuals from NCAA Division I squads like Iowa, Iowa State and Nebraska. Action in Des Moines will begin at 9 a.m. Live results will be available at TrackWrestling.com.
DES MOINES, Iowa – The Bulldogs went up against perhaps their stiffest competition all season at Saturday's Grand View Open in Des Moines, Iowa. Senior Brandon Starkey turned in the best day amongst the nine grapplers that head coach Dana Vote took to central Iowa to compete.
The Bulldogs tested their mettle against individuals from NCAA Division I schools like Illinois State, Missouri, Northern Illinois, Northern Iowa and Wisconsin and NAIA No. 1-ranked Grand View. Considering the loaded field, Concordia competed admirably.
Two of the Bulldogs' three wins on the day came against NCAA Division I foes. Wrestling at 157, Brandon Starkey came up with a 5-3 decision over Missouri's Patrick Whitener. At 141, junior Alex Stepanek seized a 2-0 decision over Illinois' State's Kyle Carstens.
The other win belonged to heavyweight Frank Ayala, who recorded the team's only fall of the day when he pinned Hannibal-LaGrange's Mike Wright in 6:05.
Ayala, Starkey and Stepanek each ended up getting eliminated from their respective brackets in their matches immediately following victories. All ended up bowing out in the consolation rounds.
Concordia will now have four GPAC duals before heading to Fremont, Neb., for regionals on Feb. 16. The Bulldogs will dual both No. 17 Dakota Wesleyan and No. 7 Morningside on Tuesday in Fremont. Concordia's final home match of the season will be held Feb. 7 when Hastings visits Walz Arena.
FREMONT, Neb. – Head coach Dana Vote's grapplers went up against a pair of top 20-ranked conference opponents on Tuesday at a triangular that took place at Midland University. In the afternoon GPAC dual, Concordia fell 28-15 against No. 17 Dakota Wesleyan. A few hours later the Bulldogs were upended 43-6 by the day's host – No. 13 Midland. Concordia's conference dual mark dropped to 1-3.
In the day's first match, the Bulldogs got on the board at 141 where Alex Stepanek took a 7-4 decision over the Tigers' Karl Bell for his fourth-straight victory in dual meets. With the win, the junior from St. Paul, Neb., edged over the .500 mark at the time with a record of 18-17.
Following five-straight victories at 149 through 184 for Dakota Wesleyan, freshman Cameron Bruce came through with a pin of Jade Hoisington at 197. With the wipe out of Hoisington, Bruce recorded his third pin of the season.
Senior Frank Ayala completed the match against the Tigers by grabbing a win by forfeit for his 18th victory of the season to tie Stepanek for the team lead. Ayala then went toe-to-toe with highly-ranked Lonnie Brown of Midland in the final bout of the day. Brown, ranked as the No. 9 heavyweight in the NAIA, appeared on his heels at times and even briefly fell behind 5-4 before regaining control to take a 13-8 decision.
However, the Warriors overmatched the Bulldogs for most of the evening until Kale Hintz fought back at 174. Hintz fell behind 8-0 after the first period and seemed to be in danger of losing by technical fall. That's when the tide quickly turned and Hintz took advantage of the opportunity to nail Midland's Asaiah Dyer to the mat for a pin after 3:28 had elapsed. It was Hintz's eighth win of the season and his fifth by fall.
Stepanek fell short of his bid for a fifth-consecutive victory in duals when he was clipped 5-2 by Jacob Luning-Hoshino of the Warriors. Brandon Starkey (157) also had an opportunity in both of his decisions on the day, which included a 13-10 loss to Trever DeVestern and a 4-0 defeat to No. 14 Tyler McMichael of Midland.
The Bulldogs continue a daunting week of matches against ranked conference opponents when they battle No. 7 Morningside in Sioux City, Iowa, at 6 p.m. on Friday. The Mustangs, 9-4 overall (3-0 GPAC) in dual meets this season, are the highest-rated squad in the GPAC.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Seventh-ranked Morningside showed why it is the highest ranked team in the GPAC by dismissing the Bulldogs, 41-3, in Sioux City, Iowa, on Friday. The Mustangs, who possess eight ranked individuals, flexed their muscles with four pins and won seven of the eight contested matches. Concordia now owns dual records of 2-9 overall and 1-4 in the GPAC.
Freshman Austin Starkey provided Bulldog fans something to cheer about with his 8-5 decision over junior Jordan Langley of Morningside at 157. Starkey took control of the match early on by maneuvering for a quick takedown and three back points in just a few-second span. He found himself in danger of being pinned in the second period but rolled through the hold of Langley for a reversal. Starkey tacked on a point for riding time and improved to 14-14 on the season.
The Starkey victory was sandwiched in between dominant bouts by the powerful Mustangs (10-4, 4-0 GPAC). Morningside's No. 9 Kevin Olson (141), Nate Taylor (149), Chris Bridgeford (197) and John Sievert (285) each recorded a fall on the night. The quartet powered Morningside to 40-plus team points for the third time in a dual this season.
Nick Sheppard came the closest to nabbing Concordia's second win of the night. The junior from Englewood, Colo., wrestled to a 0-0 draw after the first period before falling behind in the second. Sheppard never did get on the scoreboard in a 4-0 loss as he was aiming for his fourth win of the season.
The Bulldogs host Hastings on Thursday, Feb. 7 in what will be the final home and conference dual of the season. Concordia all-time wins leader Brandon Starkey (70) will be honored as part of senior day festivities along with heavyweight Frank Ayala. The action will get started at 7 p.m. as head coach Dana Vote's grapplers look to finish strong before heading to Fremont, Neb., for regionals on Feb. 16.
SEWARD, Neb. – Visiting Hastings spoiled Concordia's senior day by cruising to victory in a GPAC dual that lasted just over 30 minutes. The Broncos (6-11, 3-3 GPAC) posted five pins and a major decision on the way to a 52-6 win over the Bulldogs (2-10, 1-5 GPAC) inside Walz Arena on Thursday.
Concordia senior Frank Ayala went out in style in his final appearance at Walz Arena. The heavyweight from West Covina, Calif., fell behind Hastings' Pat Mattfeld 4-1 early on, but quickly turned the tide with a powerful move that sent Mattfeld to his back. Ayala wiped Mattfeld out in 2:15 to pick up his sixth win by fall on the season while improving to 19-19 overall.
Ayala, Concordia's leader in wins this season, was thankful for the chance throughout his career to compete in the Bulldog singlet.
Fellow seniors Brandon Starkey and Jordan Fowlkes were acknowledged along with Ayala prior to the dual for their contributions to the program. Fowlkes has been sidelined all season by injuries while Starkey sat out on Thursday as well. Starkey, the program's all-time wins leader with 70 for his career, is expected to be back for the national qualifier as he makes another run at a national championships appearance.
The Bulldogs could have used the services of Starkey against an aggressive Bronco bunch. Nationally-ranked grapplers Blake Fruchtl (No. 7 at 141) and Jared Leithead (No. 10 at 149) came in and took care of business quickly. Both registered first-period falls as Hastings poured it on.
The only contested match that did not result in a pin occurred at 157 where the Broncos' Connor Blanco won by major decision (11-3) over Austin Starkey after tacking on a point for riding time.
The Bulldogs have finished the regular-season slate and now look forward to qualifying action on Feb. 16 in Fremont, Neb. The top four finishers from each weight class at regionals will advance to the National Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, March 1-2. Concordia currently has three wrestlers ranked in the North qualifying group: Brandon Starkey (No. 6 at 157), Kale Hintz (No. 6 at 174) and Ayala (No. 3 at 285).
For Ayala, the goal is not only to simply qualify for nationals, but to finish off his collegiate wrestling career with a splash.
Freshman Austin Starkey (14-15) and junior Alex Stepanek (18-20) also figure to be in competition for top-four finishes in their respective weights among North qualifying group participants.
With the first season in the history of Concordia wrestling getting underway in 2009, the program needed solid competitors who could pave the way for future success. Enter Brandon Starkey, an accomplished high school grappler from St. Paul, Neb. With him, Starkey brought a family background that emphasized the sport from an early age.
Three years later, that connection sent younger brother Austin to the program. Both arrived at Concordia, products of the teaching of their father Mark, a longtime youth and high school coach in St. Paul, located about 90 miles to the northwest of Seward.
"I really wanted what was best for him, but I kind of tried to push this as far as I could and get him to come here," Brandon said of his brother's recruitment.
Both got their start in wrestling at three or four years of age, schooled in the fundamentals by their biggest influence in the sport – their father. They went after each other in the confines of the household much like any young brothers. Of course the older, bigger brother always had the upper hand.
Austin learned in part by observing Brandon at area tournaments. Both became hooked on wrestling, well-versed on its many intricacies as a passion for the sport brewed almost from their first breaths.
Both Starkeys will enter Saturday's North Qualifying Group Tournament in Fremont, Neb., hoping to make a splash on the mat. Brandon, ranked No. 6 in the North at 157, has qualified for nationals in each of his first three seasons and carries school records for wins (70), matches wrestled (128) and tournament place finishes (12). Austin has gone 14-15 in his first collegiate season. Both will compete at 157 pounds on Saturday.
Brandon, known for his hard work in the practice room, continues to provide a strong example for Austin and the rest of the team as it focuses on its most important part of the schedule. The senior's experience within the program and consistent effort have been critical for head coach Dana Vote as he builds up Bulldog wrestling.
Austin says that his brother's work ethic is one of the most important things he's tried to pick up on.
The quality time in the practice room has allowed both to compete with top opponents throughout this season. Austin enjoyed a major breakthrough in his first career bout in a dual meet when he upset then No. 4-ranked Robert Eklund of York (6-4) at 157 on Nov. 29. Brandon went up a weight to 165 on Jan. 17 and nearly recorded a major decision (13-6) when he defeated seventh-ranked Zach Fishman of Northwestern.
This support has been a key to the development of Austin and Brandon, both athletically and as human beings. Brandon credits his father for always being available to help him get the most out of his talents.
The siblings also work together to make advancements in each other's wrestling careers. They talk after meets about things that went well and things that need to be worked on. During practice they sometimes spar against each other, providing a chance for an intense brother rivalry to bud even more.
That fiery competition yields a deeper admiration among them. So much so that Brandon, his career nearing an end, is rooting for Austin to put forth an even more impressive run in the Bulldog singlet.
If Austin progresses the way Vote believes possible, Brandon may get his wish.
Brandon will soon move on from Concordia and hopes to put his exercise science degree to use at chiropractic school in either St. Louis or Kansas City, while keeping wrestling close to his life.
Even with Brandon's departure after this season and even after Austin finishes his career in 2016, the Starkey legacy will endure. The two have served as bright spots for a program working its way toward greatness while still in its infancy.
FREMONT, Neb. – Senior Brandon Starkey came up short in his bid to earn a berth in the NAIA National Championships for the fourth-consecutive year. Individuals needed to finish in the top four of their respective weight classes in qualifying action or receive an at-large invite in order to compete at nationals. Concordia's 11 grapplers combined for four wins at Saturday's North Qualifying Group Tournament in Fremont, Neb.
Brandon Starkey went head-to-head with younger brother Austin in round two of the consolation bracket at 157 pounds. The elder Starkey squeaked out a 5-4 decision to claim sibling bragging rights. Brandon was then eliminated in round three when Jamestown's (N.D.) Jaykob Miller took an 11-5 decision over the St. Paul, Neb., native.
Peter Ovens picked up a nice win at the North Qualifier after taking his lumps throughout his freshman season. The native of Bellevue, Wash., wrestling at 165, pinned Cameron Childs of Waldorf (Iowa) in 1:40. Ovens finished the day in the second round of the consolation bracket, going 1-2 at the qualifier.
Freshman Chandler Brandert (149) and sophomore Kale Hintz (174) notched a win apiece – both coming in the consolation rounds. Brandert won by decision, 12-9, over Jevon Schnaubert of Jamestown. Meanwhile, Hintz nailed down his sixth pin of the season when he recorded a fall in 1:15 over Jamestown's Tucker Davison.
Although Austin Starkey went 0-2 on the day, he hung right with No. 6-nationally rated Trever Deverstern, falling 8-5. The freshman, who lost his two matches by a combined four points, finished his season 14-17.
Brandon Starkey posted the best record on the team with a mark of 18-16 on the season. His career has culminated with a school record 71 victories in his four seasons in the Bulldog singlet. He also holds program records for matches wrestled (131) and tournament place finishes (12).
Beyond Brandon Starkey, two of the other 10 Concordia wrestlers who competed on Saturday have national championships experience on their resumes. Alex Stepanek (141) and Frank Ayala (285) had previously appeared in at least one national championship tournament.
The 2012-13 campaign has concluded for the Bulldogs. They finished with a record of 2-10 overall and 1-5 in GPAC duals.

Assassin's Creed: Unity το πρώτο επισημο trailer
Qu'ils mangent de la brioche [Let them eat cake]! We have been working on the new Assassin's Creed for more than three years and although we weren't quite ready to show you our full vision for a next-gen only AC, it seems Abstergo are trying to force our hand! So here's a true first look ...
Assassin's Creed: Unity (TBA 2014)
Leaked Images Reveal One Of This Fall's Two Assassin's Creed Games
One of this fall's big Assassin's Creed games, called or code-named Unity, is set at least partly in 18th-century Paris, according to early leaked screenshots obtained by Kotaku.
These screenshots, sent to me by a source who requested anonymity, show Unity's new assassin roaming around what appears to be Paris. You can see Notre Dame, the Seine River, and other Parisian landmarks, and the shots are very clearly from an early version of the game.
What's more, this is just one of two major Assassin's Creed games that will be out later this year, according to a number of sources. Unity will be for the current-gen consoles—Xbox One and PS4—while a second game, possibly called or code-named Comet, will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3. Presumably one or both versions will also be on PC. Sorry, Nintendo fans: I haven't yet heard anything about Wii U.1

Beth SecristBrooke Smith2022-08-18T09:45:18-06:00
Beth Secrist – Founder of Maestro Music Institute, Piano
Beth Secrist began her musical training on the piano at age 9 and continued her studies through high school and then college, first attending Mercyhurst College in Erie, PA on a piano performance scholarship. Post-college, Beth chose to pursue interests in the corporate world, working in a variety of industries for the next 15+ years, though always maintaining her musical interests through teaching in her own private studio. In 2008, Beth decided to make a radical career change which led her back to where her passion truly was—music. She returned to teaching and to school with the vision of living her dream—to start her own school of music.
In 2012, she along with her brother David, founded Maestro Music Institute. The school started small, only offering piano lessons through her own private studio in Denver and working with area schools and churches to bring music back to their schools with on-site lessons. In 2013, the Arvada studio opened and began accepting new students. In late 2014, the Arvada studio had outgrown its space and moved into the commercial space we now occupy on West 64th & Ward Rd. Maestro Music Institute now offers instrumental and vocal music lessons in piano, voice, violin, viola, cello, accoustic & electric guitar, banjo, drums, flute, saxophone, and clarinet.
MMI also has summer camps for instrumental ensembles and theater and holds regular recitals and performances throughout the year for their students to showcase their accomplishments. During MMI's first year, Beth along with fellow pianist, Emily Mesenbrink-Keelan, authored the first in a series of method books entitled "Maestro Music Methods", dedicated to the very young pianist. In 2013, the second method book in the series was completed and published and in the fall of 2015, "The Workbook: building scales, chords and arpeggios" was completed and published. Beth and Emily are working on the next book in the series and expect to have it completed in the near future.

WorldDAB is a membership organisation which operates for the benefit of its members. WorldDAB is organised into four main committees that are governed by the General Assembly and its Steering Board. The operational day to day to running of WorldDAB is undertaken by the WorldDAB Project Office.
The WorldDAB General Assembly is an annual event which provides an opportunity for our international members to come together to make key strategic decisions on the future direction of WorldDAB. The General Assembly is also an opportunity for members to share their experiences and insight on all aspects of digital radio rollout.
Steering Board
Chair and President: Patrick Hannon, Vice President Corporate Development Frontier Silicon
The Steering Board is comprised of elected representatives from WorldDAB member organisations and meets quarterly. The Steering Board oversees the operational and financial management of the Forum. It implements decisions made at the WorldDAB General Assembly and also implements strategic measures to ensure the successful rollout of the DAB family of standards.
Click here to view a full list of WorldDAB Steering Board Members.
Asia Pacific Committee
Chair: Joan Warner, CEO, Commercial Radio Australia
WorldDAB Asia Pacific members represent a large percentage of the Forum. In order to aid in the successful roll out of digital broadcasting across the region the Asia Pacific Committee was formed. It meets regularly throughout Asia to meet the unique needs and concerns of the region and serves as a multifunctional committee, by undertaking in marketing, technical and strategic tasks.
Chair: Lindsay Cornell, Principal Systems Architect, BBC Future Media, UK
The Technical Committee oversees the standardisation of Eureka 147, which is the basis for DAB/DAB+ and DMB technology. It ensures that receiver equipment and broadcast technologies are compatible. The committee also upgrades and advances the standard in line with other technical developments and looks to future-proof all DAB equipment (both receiver and broadcast based).
Spectrum and Network Implementation Committee
Chair: Hanns Wolter, Technical Director, DAB Italia, Italy
The Spectrum and Network Implementation Committee provides guidance on regulatory approaches to facilitate the introduction of DAB services internationally, monitors and lobbies to ensure frequency for DAB and DAB network development and implementation. Topics and activities of the SNIC include advice and best practices on transmission site building, DAB multiplexing and sound processing, DAB monitoring and signal distribution and data service implementation.
How DAB Family of Standards are maintained
Based on the needs of the market, the Steering Board, Technical Committee and its Task Forces draw up a set of user requirements that outline the market parameters such as user functions, timescales and price range. Once consensus on the user requirements is reached the Technical Committee and the relevant Task Force develops the specifications.
This will include examining the technological implications of the user requirements and examination of the technologies available. Once the Technical Committee reaches consensus on the resulting specification, and the Steering Board's support for it has been ensured, the specification is put forward to the Steering Board.
The Steering Board gives the final approval of the specification. It is then offered for standardisation to the relevant international standards body (i.e. ETSI or CENELEC) through the EBU/ETSI/CENELEC Joint Technical Committee or the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R or ITU-T).

This elegant oversized publication documents Monkman's site specific installation focusing on the near extinction of the American bison in the 19th century and the consequent destruction of Aboriginal peoples' way of life. Comprised of a nine-foot high structure simulating a buffalo jump as well as two full-sized bison and a sculpture of Miss Chief, the artist's alter ego, the work incorporates smashed ceramics that recall both the piles of bones found at buffalo jumps and Indigenous ceramics found at sites across North America. Thematics ranging from Picasso's modernism to the Lascaux caves are interlaced throughout the work. Two essays and an interview explore Monkman's work as a radical take on the natural history museum as well as an ingenious investigation into one of the world's finest collections of ceramics. The work is featured in several full page colour plates. Kent Monkman is a multidisciplinary Canadian artist who has had solo exhibitions at numerous Canadian museums and participated in several international group exhibitions notably, The American West at Compton Verney (Warwickshire, UK), Remember Humanity at Witte de With (Rotterdam), and Oh Canada! at MASS MOCA (Boston). Kelvin Browne is Executive Director and CEO of the Gardiner Museum. Sarah Milroy is one of Canada's leading art writers and curators. Tasha Hubbard (Cree) is an award-winning documentary filmmaker.

16 Years old Pakistani-British Boy refused £5 MILLION by US investors for a money saving website
Hisham Sarwar Twitter | Facebook December 13, 2017, 10:59 am 3.3k Views
Teenagers around the world have always been pretty smart. Some are incredibly smart such as Galois who solved difficult mathematical problems; some are brilliant artists, performers, and even entrepreneurs. Some of them can correctly pronounce any word, some are filled with encyclopedic knowledge, and some have the ability to speak multiple languages. So teen geniuses are nothing new however, it does seem like there are more of them around today than ever before.
At first, it is not easy to recognize the smartest teenagers but their abilities emerge as a surprise. A British schoolboy Mohammad Ali, 16, is one of these smartest teenagers alive today. At the age of 12, he launched his first company and earned more than £ 40,000. For the stock market, he created a financial app and his own video game. For the investors he created a money-v website and was offered £5 million which he rejected in the hope of getting a bigger offer.
The teenager is expected to introduce a price comparison site with a 60-year old companion Chris Thorpe and claims it as unique. According to Mr Ali, a group of Americans in London offered to buy the company for a sum more than £5 million. Ali said that the investors from London did not realize the technology that was involved. The offer was rejected because the involved technology is worth millions already and it will be of more value once it gets into the hands of people. He understands that there is a big risk in creating it as a household name but there are no competitors for this as it is a real-time money saving expert.
The idea for the website originally came from an entrepreneur Mr Thorpe who lives with his family in Scarborough. In 2009, he founded Weneed1 as a reverse marketing platform. It was intended to introduce buyers to sellers of goods and services to the UK. He remained unsuccessful in doing that until he met with Mr Ali. According to Ali, he coded the WeNeed1 in his bedroom while completing his A-levels. He has designed the website to make both buyers and sellers aware of the products that are available.
Mr Ali in 2006, made it to the headlines for creating a video game which has per month subscription cost of £5.99 and earned £30,000. He still lives with his parents and siblings. He is still working from his bedroom for the project to launch globally. He says that everything he has learned is from watching videos and reading books and has not gained much knowledge from the education system provided in schools nowadays. He thinks that schools are not preparing people to perform in the real world. He has invested £14, 00 towards refurbishing his parents' house and has placed the majority of his fortune in the saving account to help fund his business venture's in future.
According to estimates, Mr Ali has earned £41,000. He likes to build upon whatever inventions he has made. He is an inspiration for teenagers to get involved in this business all around the world.

Infrastructure bill could lead to Brent Spence companion bridge
By Tino Bovenzi Cincinnati
PUBLISHED 7:45 PM ET Nov. 15, 2021 PUBLISHED 7:45 PM EST Nov. 15, 2021
CINCINNATI — With President Joe Biden putting pen to paper — signing the massive $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill — federal funding will soon to be available for projects to improve bridges, roadways, public transportation, broadband and more, including one of the top infrastructure issues in Ohio — the Brent Spence Bridge.
President Joe Biden signed a record $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill
The Brent Spence Bridge is one focal point that could see improvement by way of the construction of a companion bridge
ODOT and KYTC said it is waiting for guidance from the federal level in order to apply for funds
ODOT reps said the organization is excited for how the infrastructure bill can help update Ohio's roadways and make them safe
The Cincinnati USA Region Chamber views the bill as a win, and will work to use the funds to complete important work to connect people
In July, Biden drew national attention to the bridge, which has been considered a consistent headache for people traveling back and forth from Ohio to Kentucky. With the bipartisan infrastructure deal signed, help may soon be on the way.
Just more than a year ago, a tractor-trailer caught fire on the Brent Spence Bridge, causing a multi-week shutdown. Months of work went into repairing the bridge — now back open with a fresh coat of paint.
However, a major issue still remains. If there is a traffic accident on the bridge, there are no emergency shoulders for cars to pull over, often causing a traffic nightmare for travelers, which is why building a companion bridge is in the planning stages.
Now with funds available via the record infrastructure bill, that project could move into the next steps.

"The president signing today's bill is really landmark to our ability to bring down federal funds to achieve so many of the things that we've been advocating for," Director of The Connected Region of the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber Pete Metz said.
He said this bill is a generational opportunity to connect people, and the Brent Spence Bridge is near the top of the list of things to work on.
"These federal investments make this project closer than it's ever been to reality," Metz said.
In the bill, $550 billion is to be dedicated to transportation, broadband and utilities.
"More federal dollars than we've ever had for a project like this before," Metz said. "I am confident that the states will work together to make sure this happens."
The Ohio Department of Transportation and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet said it's still too early in the process to talk about where the infrastructure funds will specifically go, but did release a statement on the bridge.
"We're excited about the possibility of moving this long-talked about and much-needed project forward," the statement said. "ODOT has been working with our partners at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet on the companion bridge and entire corridor plan for some time. We'll continue those efforts and focus on the opportunities that best help us fund the project and bring it to reality."
Both ODOT and KYTC said they are waiting for guidance from the federal level as to when they can apply, but assured that when that window opens, they will apply for as much funding as they can. Money or grants are not guaranteed to each state in the application process.
Metz said no matter how much funding comes in, Cincinnati will put the funds to good use.
"When the president signs the bill this afternoon it's going to be a huge statement that there is money in Washington to invest in infrastructure and transportation," Metz said. "And we have to be prepared as a region and are prepared as a region to bring those dollars to our community to do so much good."

To get started on the Shepherd Lake/Mount Defiance/Skylands Manor Loop, proceed ahead, passing through an opening in a stone wall by a "Do Not Enter" sign. Immediately turn right, crossing a grassy area. Continue across an old concrete bridge over the Ringwood River (this was the original entrance to the Ringwood Manor estate). At the end of the bridge, white and red-on-white blazes on a brown wand mark the start of the Crossover and Ringwood-Ramapo Trails. Proceed ahead on a footpath, crossing the heavily-traveled Sloatsburg Road. The trails turn left and parallel the road, bear right and climb gently on switchbacks, then continue along the side of the hill, parallel to the road below.
After climbing on another switchback, you'll reach a junction where the white-blazed Crossover Trail leaves to the right. This will be your return route, but you should continue ahead on the red-on-white-blazed Ringwood-Ramapo Trail. Soon, you'll join the former trail route, which comes in from the left. The Ringwood-Ramapo Trail now continues its ascent of Cupsaw Mountain on a steeper grade. As the trail nears the crest of the ridge, the climb steepens.
At the ridgetop, the yellow-blazed Cooper Union Trail joins from the right, and both trails run jointly for 200 feet, descending to a woods road. Here, the Cooper Union Trail leaves to the left, but you should continue to follow the Ringwood-Ramapo Trail, which turns right, soon reaching an old shelter, in poor condition. The shelter was built by "The Hiking, Eating, Arguing and Puzzle-Solving Club of the Cooper Union" (this land, now part of Ringwood State Park, was once owned by Cooper Union). The trail now descends into a valley, climbs a little, then descends into a rocky valley where it crosses a stream and turns left onto a woods road, joining the blue-blazed Cupsaw Brook Trail.
Follow the joint trails, which cross a stream on rocks, then immediately turn left, leaving the woods road. After crossing a stream on rocks and then paralleling it, the blue-blazed Cupsaw Brook Trail leaves to the left. Continue ahead on the Ringwood-Ramapo Trail, which turns right and crosses Cupsaw Brook on a wooden bridge. (From here on, the Ringwood-Ramapo Trail is marked by both red-on-white blazes and brown wands with solid red blazes). After passing a large cascade on the left, the trail bears right, away from the brook, and begins a steady ascent. At the top of the climb, the trail turns left onto a woods road and soon reaches a paved road at a traffic circle near Shepherd Lake.
The trail turns right on the paved road, then immediately left, following the sign in the middle of the traffic circle for the boat launch. It continues through the boat launch parking area, then follows a paved road past a boathouse and a kiosk, where an orange-blazed trail begins. Continue by following a gravel road along the south shore of Shepherd Lake, marked with both red-on-white and orange blazes.
In about a third of a mile, both trails turn right, leaving the road. Continue to follow the blazed trails, which head uphill on a footpath. At an intersection with a woods road, the orange-blazed trail turns left, but you should continue ahead, now following only the red-and-white blazes of the Ringwood-Ramapo Trail.
The trail climbs to the top of a rise, then descends to cross a mountain bike trail. Continue ahead on the red-on-white-blazed trail, which passes an old stone foundation on the left. After crossing a gas pipeline (where many seedlings have been planted to remediate the area), the trail begins to climb the northern shoulder of Mount Defiance, first gradually, then more steeply.
After reaching the 1,040-foot summit, the trail descends steeply and continues along the ridge, paralleling impressive cliffs on the right. At the end of the cliffs, the green-and-white-blazed Halifax Trail comes in from the right and briefly joins the Ringwood-Ramapo Trail. You will soon head down the mountain on the Halifax Trail, but for now, continue ahead for another 350 feet along the Ringwood-Ramapo Trail until you see a large rock outcrop to the right of the trail.
Climb this outcrop, which is studded with cedar trees, to reach a panoramic view from the top. The New Jersey State Botanical Gardens at Skylands Manor may be seen in the foreground, with the Wyanokies in the distance. The Wanaque Reservoir is visible to the left. This is a good place for a break.
When you're ready to continue, retrace your steps on the Ringwood-Ramapo Trail back to the junction with the Halifax Trail. Turn left (west), following the green-on-white blazes, which climb over a small rise and then level off. Just before the trail begins a steady descent, you'll reach a fork. The trail heads left here, but you may wish to follow an unmarked path to the right which leads up to a rock outcrop with a view over the gardens of Skylands Manor.
Continue down the mountain on the green-on-white-blazed trail, which follows a series of gradual switchbacks – the remnants of an old carriage road. At the base of the descent, where the green-on-white trail ends, turn right onto the white-blazed Crossover Trail, which follows a gravel road along the base of the mountain. When you reach a paved road, turn right and follow the road through the grounds of Skylands Manor, passing an English Tudor guest house with a sundial clock on its chimney to the right.
Just beyond a greenhouse, you'll reach a road junction at the entrance to Parking Area A. The double blaze seems to indicate a right turn into the parking area, but you should instead bear left (do not go into the parking area) and then immediately turn right and follow the park access road downhill, passing between two stone eagles that once adorned New York City's Pennsylvania Station. After crossing an intersecting road, follow the white blazes as the trail bears left, reenters the woods, and descends steadily, passing through some wet areas. At the base of the descent, the trail crosses the route of a buried gas pipeline, turns right to parallel it, then turns left and reaches the paved Morris Road.
Turn left on the paved road, cross a stone-walled bridge over Cupsaw Brook, then follow the white blazes as they turn right and reenter the woods, passing a stone foundation on the right. The white-blazed Crossover Trail climbs gradually to reach a T-intersection with a woods road – the route of the yellow-blazed Cooper Union Trail. Turn left, briefly following the joint route of the two trails, then turn right at the next T-intersection and follow the white blazes along a relatively level woods road for about half a mile to a junction with the red-on-white blazed Ringwood-Ramapo Trail. Turn left and follow the joint Crossover and Ringwood-Ramapo Trails, retracing your steps back to the start of the hike.

Crossover Trail is being rerouted
Thanks for your comments! I will revisit the area and look into changing the wording as you have suggested. With regard to the very wet section of the Crossover Trail south of Morris Road, that should change soon. The Jersey Off-Road Bicycle Association (JORBA) is in the process of building a new and improved route for the Crossover Trail north of Morris Road, and when the new trail is completed, the trail section south of Morris Road will be abandoned.

A nice hike for a winter day...
Notlepats on 9/12/16 commented on a bridge being out. No bridges out today and I found the description of the trailhead to be spot on. I've done variations on this hike twice in the past 4 months. The only description I found confusing was how to exit Skylands Manor. It says "double blaze seems to indicate a right turn into the parking area, but you should instead bear left and then immediately turn right...". Although this is correct, I think there are better landmarks. I'd eliminate the wording "bear left" but say something like "follow the road to the right (don't go into the parking lot)". The White Crossover trail was quite wet near Morris Road. I wonder if, instead of paralleling the Cupsaw Brook south of Morris Road, the trail could be rerouted to the north side of Morris Road and avoid some of the marsh.

This was a pretty good hike, nice and long and passes through interesting areas. It took us a while to find the trail heads, which are literally those first two bridges visible from the parking area. The second bridge is still out (seriously? it's been 6 years!!) but can be easily gotten around by crossing a small creek, there are plenty of rocks to step on, or you can take your shoes off and cross, it is only 3 feet deep. The trail seemed like it hadn't been hiked by anybody in along time, lots of spider webs across the pathways and in parts was almost overgrown. It was still well marked. The views were really nice. Like another commenter said, you can definitely hear the skeet shooting through most of it, at least on a satruday afternoon. I would recommend this hike, but bring lots of bug spray and watch out for the muddy swampy areas. I may have fallen on my butt once or twice :) Also wanted to add that the coordinates above took us to a random house 15 minutes away from Ringwood Manor. I would just use "Ringwood Manor" in your GPS and then follow signs to Parking Lot B where the trailheads are.

Note: 25 December, 2013. This page must have been drafted many months ago, and then set aside to attend to more pressing matters, perhaps concerning Peter Monamy. It was then forgotten, until today. It obviously intended to address two of the studies of F.S.Holton, which struck me as having signal relevance to the poem, and which comprehensively refudiate (lovely word --- good enough for Ezra) the garbage peddled by said Pound, and other ludicrously obtuse seekers after Anglo-Saxon paganism. These essays would have been the two titled: Old English Sea Imagery and the Interpretation of "The Seafarer" in: The Yearbook of English Studies vol. 12, 1982, pp. 208-217, see below for opening remarks; and Exegesis and Eschatology in Old English poetry, University of Edinburgh, 1979, see also below for Abstract. Both of these articles can be found, easily, via the internet, where I found them.
Exegesis and Eschatology in Old English poetry 1979.
All that Holton was missing were the correct translations of unwearnum and anfloga, which would have clinched his arguments. Here, from above left, is a particularly attractive statement: "It has long since been recognized that The Seafarer is a unified whole and that it is possible to interpret the first sixty-three-and-a-half lines in a way that is consonant with, and leads up to, the moralizing conclusion." Written in 1982, it is amazing that there are still dense individuals, in 2014, echoing the dumber scholars of the early C20th, and rejecting the poem's 125 line unity.
The Seafarer can be divided into two precise halves: the first half is an exemplum; and the second half draws a didactic, hortatory, moral conclusion. Physically and aesthetically central to the composition is the word unwearnum. An exemplum, courtesy the Free Online Dictionary, is "an anecdote that supports a moral point or sustains an argument, used especially in medieval sermons." The verse moves from the concrete to the abstract, from experience to reflection. The indications are that the experience may have been personal, but unlikely to have been repeated more than a few times; between monasteries, as it were. It is also possible that all that was needed was a vivid imagination. No one supposes that Coleridge had himself endured the trials of his Ancient Mariner. At the same time, the poetic ingenuity, culture and sophistication demonstrated in this work were not entirely acquired at the helm of a sea-craft. Many commentaries during the 19th and 20th centuries have been convinced that the poem is purely autobiographical, whereas it is better understood as a vehicle for doctrine.
The Seafarer is a soðgied. Bosworth-Toller, 1898: "gid, gidd, gied, gyd, gydd, ged, es; n. ..... II. as Old English or Saxon proverbs, riddles, and particular speeches were generally metrical, and their historians were bards, hence, A speech, tale, sermon, proverb, riddle; sermo, dictum, loquela proverbium, ænigma etc." The most natural conclusion, that The Seafarer is a sermon, has been sedulously avoided by all and sundry, except, of course, by Olof Arngart.
See Jackson C.Campbell, Oral Poetry in The Seafarer, Speculum, 1960, pp 87-96. Quote: " .... many early Christian poets, rather than being simple, devout, and unlettered like Caedmon, or even professional pagan scops who continued to exercise their gift after being converted, were often English monks and churchmen, well-educated in Christian Latin literature and actively working to introduce Christian elements into their native poetic tradition, not only in the form of Biblical narratives, but also in matters of diction and formulaic phrasing. ... none of the evidence we can deduce from the poems we have actually precludes a poet putting together a poem in the solitude of a monastic library." Campbell, however, goes on to argue that "it appears" that The Seafarer, although undoubtedly a unity, is " a vivid and dramatic oral poem, full of the older conventions, [which] has been remembered and reworked by a lettered homilist-poet, a man with full knowledge of the style of oral poetry and even a certain reduced command of its formulas." Debatable.
"The value of The Seafarer as a guide for a monastic audience suffering from some sort of doubt, then, is made clear by the position in which the speaker places the audience. By inviting the listener/reader into the seafarer's experience and awareness at each stage of his crisis and conversion, the poet, or possibly poets, offers a subtle guide for one whose faith is suffering. Considering their access to such works as St. Gregory the Great's Cura Pastoralis and John Cassian's Institutes Monachorum, Anglo-Saxon monks would have considered notions of spiritual struggle commonplace. Such a monastic reader, in a time when encouragement is desired, could read The Seafarer, or almost any other spiritually didactic poem in the Exeter Book, and find a figure with whom he or she could identify. In The Seafarer, such a figure reminds a monastic audience of its purpose for renouncing the world: for þon me hatran sind / Dryhtnes dreamas þonne þis deade life / læne on londe (64b-66a), "for the joys of the Lord are dearer to me than this dead life, fleeting on land." Whether this poem was composed by a monastic poet or interpolated for an audience of monks remains unclear; however, the vernacular lyric's therapeutic function for such listeners or readers is confirmed by the speaker's description of his dedicating his life to a spiritual purpose."
