for some odd reason, IE has taken it upon itself to insert what appears to be a line break inbetween the top heading and the main body... any thoughts or tips?

It appears the same in Opera, so FF may be the odd bird here. In any case, it looks as though you could set its (the div id=head) height to 118px.
i had it set but removed the setting trying to troubleshoot this issue... i forgot to add it back in...
It works like FF in Safari.Quote:

Once the float is cleared, that (padding and/or margin) might be all that is required.
Edit: In fact, removing the position relative from the menu (id=hlinks) division and adding a negative margin-bottom (-1.5em) to the image above it would be about ideal if it were to work out.
