MILLERS CREEK — Three local teams placed in the top seven in the Blackhawk Invitational wrestling tournament Saturday.
North Surry took the top honors as seven of its wrestlers placed in the top four with three winning their weights.
Surry Central wasn't far behind in fourth, and Mount Airy took a major step forward from last year to finish seventh.
Eleven teams, with about 150 total wrestlers, took part in the individual-style tourney at West Wilkes High. Teams accrued points based on how their wrestlers performed.
In the double-elimination format, wrestlers had to win at least three matches to claim the top spot.
Of the 14 weight classes, four went to local wrestlers, while several others challenged for the title.
The Greyhounds won first place at 120 lbs. with Austin McMillian, 126 lbs. with Tristen Brannock and 195 with Levi Slate.
In the 126 final, Brannock beat West Wilkes' Jake St. Germain, who finished second in the state for 1A last year. That win earned Brannock the Most Outstanding Wrestler award.
Slate entered the third period of the 195 final tied 1-1 with East Surry's Cody Gaskell. Slate took Gaskell down, but the Cardinal escaped for a 3-2 score. Neither earned another point for the narrow decision win.
Coach Eric Jessup said he wasn't sure how his team would respond today with three starters out. Austin Collins had the flu, Dakota Goss had a sore back and Saige Wolfe a sore shoulder.
With Goss out, Dalton Golden wrestled up one weight class at 182 pounds. Rather than struggle, the senior reached the finals and finished second.
Also for the Hounds, Austin Rozier (132) grabbed third place, while fourth places went to Devyn Green (145) and Corbin Bullins (170).
"This may have been the best Blackhawk yet," said Central Coach Stephen Priddy. The overall competition was great, with just 13.5 points separating the top four teams.
North Surry tallied 127.5 points, edging West Wilkes at 122.5. West Caldwell was a close third at 120.5, then Central at 114.
"You always think you can do a little bit better, but overall I was extremely pleased with how we wrestled," said Priddy.
Heavyweight Wes Brown won first place, and two other Eagles finished in second.
"Wes looked really good today," said Priddy. "He saw his best competition so far this year."
Jared Dimmette had struggled in a couple of matches to start the season after making the switch from football.
On this day, however, he won his first two matches by pin, then lost in the finals for second place.
"I was extremely pleased with how he wrestled," said Priddy.
At 106, Nathon Bautista finished second. Also for the Eagles, Kevin Pack was third, Bryant White third, Raymond Dance fourth and Nick Coe fourth.
Even the ones who didn't place like Zack Martin showed improvement, Priddy said.
He mentioned Dance's strong mindset throughout the day.
Right off the bat Raymond had to face North's Caleb Lowe, who edged him 5-4 last weekend. Dance pinned Lowe to advance.
In the semifinals, he went against North Davidson's Seth Murdock (6-0 coming into the tournament).
Murdock won a technical fall on him at North Surry to open the season, but Raymond fought tough with him this time. Even though he lost, Raymond took the match the distance.
Mount Airy continues its drastic turnaround from last year. The Bears earned just 18 team points and had just one wrestler place in the top four last year.
On Saturday, the Bears placed five wrestlers and finished with 78 points, just behind South Stokes.
Three wrestlers advanced to the finals, and two others made it to the consolation finals, noted Coach Steve Braune.
Triston Mabry bumped up from 145 to 152 this week and wrestled well on his feet, said the coach. He won two minor decisions, one by four points and one by six. He lost in the final by a major decision, but did not get pinned, Braune noted.
At 160, Dallas Smith pinned two opponents to reach the finals. He, too, lost a major decision but avoided a fall.
Mason Timmerman, nursing a sore shoulder, still managed to reach the final for 220.
"He got caught in a throw and couldn't back his way out right at the end of the first period," said Braune.
"Brian Bennett had a great day," the coach said. The heavyweight lost to Wes Brown in the first round, but fought for all six minutes without getting pinned.
Then he finished every match early up to the consolation finals, getting a couple of pins and one win where the opponent was flagged for flagrant misconduct for an elbow swing. He lost in the last match to finish fourth.
Jamie Smith also finished fourth at 132. He lost in the first match, then pinned his way to the consolation finals.
Next weekend, Mount Airy and Surry Central will participate in the Mount Tabor Super Duals Friday and Saturday.
North Surry and East Surry will travel to South Stokes for the Joe Via Tournament.

To handle your shipping preferences, locating the best transport firm that will make certain that your goods will arrive successfully is essential. Choosing the right shipment firm is often a intimidating undertaking because there are an abundance of forwarding freight shipping companies in Singapore. A great number of components have to be thought about before you make your selection. In the long run, however, your own preference will be solely in line with the credibility of the transport company.
A number of firms have a tendency to base their preferences mainly on the value cited by the shipping organization. Certainly, it can't be argued that it is only natural to consider a less expensive shipping company. In spite of this, that should not be your principal concern. Remember the fact that a minimal cost is not necessarily a really good rate. Due to the high number of shipping companies in Singapore, you should choose the services of a corporation that has a great deal of experience in dealing with the items well. Employing a tough component to pack the delicate merchandise with is absolutely essential. The idea is: you have to opt for a transport business that delivers your items to its desired destination in one piece.
The capacity of the logistics firm to quickly send out the product to its destination must be considered before making a final decision. This especially refers to companies with time-sensitive deliveries. Make sure to keep away from transport corporations who can't deliver the cargo as stated. Otherwise, be prepared to put up with the consequences. If the shipping company you chose neglected to send out the freight in a timely manner, prepare to deal with the grievances of unsatisfied clientele. Many shipping companies in Singapore have effectively held on to a reasonable business simply because they often ship without delay. So choose prudently.
As a final point, a logistics enterprise that offers you proper insurance must be given importance above others that don't. You ought to know at this point exactly how critical it is to receive insurance coverage. After all, you cant ever absolutely guarantee that nothing at all will screw up. You simply cannot completely get rid of the probability of your goods being robbed. To present you a reassurance, you need to pick a logistics firm that will take total responsibility for your cargo. Don't hesitate to be extra cautious, especially when it will let you prevail over adversity. Go with a great courier company as a way to stay thriving in your business. This is the solution to picking out the ideal from the numerous shipping companies in Singapore.
To address your shipping demands, finding the best shipment company that will make sure that your merchandise will get there without trouble is of the utmost importance. As there are loads of shipping companies in Singapore, it may turn out to be difficult to acquire a reliable one. There are numerous significant elements to consider before deciding. Ultimately, however, your own preference is going to be entirely in line with the credibility of the shipping company.
A few companies have a predisposition to base their selections mainly on the value quoted by the shipment business. Of course, it is only sensible to choose a shipping firm that offers a great service at a sensible value. Nevertheless, price concerns ought not to be the only thing in your head. After all, the most affordable price is not always the ideal rate. Given the high variety of shipping companies in Singapore, you should go for the services of a enterprise that has plenty of knowledge in managing the merchandise properly. The packaging ought to be sturdy enough to keep the fragile goods intact. The most important thing is to select a shipment firm that will ensure the security of your goods right up until it gets into the hands of your client.
The capability of the freight corporation to send out the cargo on time is an additional critical element that has to be taken into account. This particularly applies to organizations with time-sensitive shipments. Be sure to steer clear of logistics companies who can't deliver the products as stated. Otherwise, your company will surely pay the price. If the shipping company you've chosen fails you, expect to lose your consumers. A few shipping companies in Singapore are well-known for their reliability when it comes to meeting delivery due dates. As such, make certain you decide to make the correct choice.
Lastly, a shipping firm that offers you adequate insurance coverage should be prioritized above others that do not. You can't minimize the relevance of having your shipment insured. After all, you cant ever really guarantee that hardly anything will go wrong. The possibility of your merchandise being compromised in transit can't be eliminated. To assure that the shipping company will be held liable, it is far better decide on one with adequate insurance protection. Don't hesitate to be extra cautious, especially if it will enable you to triumph over adversity. Select a excellent logistics organization as a way to stay flourishing in your company. That is the ideal tips that we can give you so that you can select one on which of the shipping companies in Singapore to opt for.

Nah, that trailer is older and was made for a different reason, besides, it has characters that aren't Sony exclusives. It's still pretty cool.

- Celebrity Couples Who've Lasted Longer Than Expected
It's no secret that it's hard to have a healthy relationship in Hollywood, but some couples have lasted longer than we expected! Ashton Kutcher's and Mila Kunis's characters on "That 70's Show" may have dated, but they didn't spark a real-life romance until now. After Ashton's highly publicized divorce from Demi Moore and Mila's split from longtime beau Macaulay Culkin, the timing seems to be just right for this adorable duo. Since getting together in April 2012, they have been spotted together all over the globe, and their busy shooting schedules don't seem to be getting in the way of their lasting love. Given Tiger Woods' rocky — and very public — relationship past, the Internet was buzzing when he officially announced via Facebook in March that he's dating Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn. The super athletic pair even made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala earlier this month. So what's in store for summer? We're guessing that Lindsey will be a staple on the sidelines, cheering on her man on the golf course.

The Cannes Film Festival is not only a place for Hollywood's A-listers to present their latest projects, but it's also a venue where the most glamorous stars can shine on the red carpet! While some celebs wow us with their selections, even with the help of stylists, it's easy to fall prey to fashion misses. So, who earned high marks on our red carpet report card? Cindy Crawford gets an A+ for her white Roberto Cavalli gown. With the plunging neckline and gold embellishments, it proved that her supermodel days are far from over. And Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence rocked the red carpet at the premiere of "Catching Fire" in a classic yet elegant black-and-white Christian Dior gown. While these ladies looked stunning on the red carpet, Eva Longoria showed a little too much skin (even accidentally flashing the crowd!) in a blue Atelier Versace gown that looked a lot like a mermaid's net. And Kirsten Dunst donned a black Michael van der Ham printed dress that she could have easily pulled out of her grandmother's closet.

PRESTONSBURG - Floyd County Fiscal Court members sat down again Monday to work on a spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year, but after going line-by-line through the budget, officials still found themselves with a nearly $300,000 shortfall.
Court members worked for nearly five hours Monday trying to find enough tiny cuts to the budget to stave off having to make drastic cuts to services, or increase revenues through additional fees and taxes.
Thus far, the magistrates have been against adding a 1 percent tax to the budget, which would bring in an estimated $1.9 million, and have also balked at having fee offices such as the county clerk and sheriff pay for their own health insurance.
Sheriff John K Blackburn says his office begins every new year with a zero balance, and asked the court how he is supposed to pay for his health insurance when he already has to borrow money to make payroll at the beginning of each year.
"You know I start out zero amount every year," Blackburn said. "I have to borrow money every year from the state to get started."
County treasurer David Layne responded that if the sheriff's department began covering its own health insurance, they could pay their premium in December, when the department still has cash flow.
Denzil Allen, of Hatton and Allen Insurance, told the court that the county's health insurance for the coming year would likely be $681 per month, per employee. Allen said he was still working to reduce the rate by another 1 percent. The rate includes a $500 deductible. The city of Prestonsburg has chosen to reduce costs through restructuring health care, and while monthly rates are significantly less, the costs are pushed on to employees who are faced with a deductible of $3,000.
Some progress was made during the meeting. After discovering a series of errors related to insurance costs based on incorrect numbers of employees, the court was able to make some significant savings. However, by meeting's end, the court still remained $270,000 away from a balanced budget. Though no votes were taken, magistrates did appear to be working from a budget that included a 3 percent hotel tax. The use of money generated from the tax is however limited to tourism activities. Officials estimate that they will generate roughly $80,000 a year from the hotel tax.
During the marathon work session, the magistrates went line by line through the budget, looking to make cuts in everything from coffee to cell phones. Layne told them repeatedly that they would not find enough savings in line-item cuts to make up the difference.
"You can't take single line-items and balance the budget," Layne said. "You can't."
At one point, Magistrate John Goble said that they merely wanted to cut the "fluff."
"I ain't got no fluff to cut, John," Layne responded. "We cut the fluff."
"Some of them are overinflated," Goble replied. "Cut $1,000 off each line-item."
"There isn't a thousand dollars to cut," Layne said.
"It's like the sky is falling," Goble said.
"It has," answered Layne.
Officials are considering a raise to the garbage rate, with an estimated $50,000 revenue per 50 cent raise to the rates. While senior rates are frozen, county taxpayers would be on the hook for as much as $16.25, to cover the $270,000 short fall.
Magistrates believed they had narrowed the gap another $200,000 drawing from a rainy day fund, until Judge-Executive R.D. "Doc" Marshall and Road Foreman Mike Jarrell informed them that three recent projects, which are still in progress, had likely already drained $156,000 of that fund.
If officials can't find away to make serious cuts or find new revenues, the road department will likely feel the burden of next year's budget woes. When asked by Magistrate Goble how much the county spent on roads last year, Jarrell said, "Oh hellfire, son." According to Jarrell, the county spent $109,000 for gravel and $170,000 for fuel last year, which Layne and Jarrell both said is already over budget, with almost 60 days remaining in this fiscal year.
Removing another $270,000 from their budget would likely cripple the county's ability to repair roads and respond to disasters. More ominous still is the fact that the county has not had a significant natural disaster since the Martin flood of 2009, nearly four years ago.
Adding further insult to injury for the county's budget woes was yet another round of discussions related to "phantom bills" allegedly owed to Harpo Castle and C&C construction which have been estimated to be anywhere between $300,000 and $500,000. Current budget projections do not account for those alleged expenses, as the judge said no bills have submitted. Castle told Times Staff on Tuesday that the county actually owes three companies under his direction more than $800,000.
Judge-Executive R.D. "Doc" Marshall said last week that the county is expected to continue to receive coal severance through the 2013-14 fiscal year, but that more cuts will likely have to be made in next year's budget.
The county has seen its budgets continue to shrink over the last three years, as coal severance tax revenues and the economy have both gone south, but must still have a balanced budget ready for state approval on June 1, and a second reading and approval of that budget by June 30.
The county's next regularly scheduled meeting is Friday.

Third man sentenced to prison in Rolladium gang shooting WITH VIDEO
The third man charged in the December 2011 gang-related shooting at a Waterford Township roller rink that left six people injured was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
Robert German, 20, pleaded no contest last month to 14 charges related to the shooting at the Rolladium in Waterford around 2 a.m. Dec. 23, 2011. The life sentence was for conspiracy to commit murder.
Investigators found German hiding at a Pontiac residence in August.
"(German) didn't come forward and surrender himself when the incident first occurred, (but) when he was apprehended ... he was straightforward immediately," German's attorney, Michael McCarthy, said before the sentence was read by Oakland County Circuit Judge James Alexander.
"I think it's noteworthy that he also told the detectives that he did not want either of the two codefendants to involve themselves in what he considered his own problem. He has taken full responsibility."
German's codefendants, Cheyenne Ingram and Tre-Andis Jamison, were sentenced last year to 21 to 70 years in prison after juries found them guilty of similar charges.
German was also sentenced to 18 to 70 years in prison for six counts of assault with intent to commit murder. He will serve those sentences concurrently, but consecutively to the life sentence.
After sentencing, McCarthy noted that German's sentence was on the high end of sentencing guidelines but was lower than the sentence his codefendants received. Continued...
"He took full responsibility for being involved in this," McCarthy said.
"He didn't really want any other person to involve themselves, so those two men who did made those decisions on their own — certainly not on his request.
"Mr. German did not wish to put anyone through the trauma of trial again. He took responsibility the day he got arrested. He made a very full, inculpatory statement to the investigating detectives at that time, back at the end of August, and he had no intention of taking this matter to trial from that point forward."
A sentence of up to two years for each of six counts of possession of a firearm in commission of a felony, as well as three to five years for one count of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, will also be served concurrently with the life sentence.
A lawsuit filed against the owners of the Rolladium and promoter of the party that occurred there that night states that German, Jamison and Ingram were members of the "1st E Gang," which fought with members of the "Goon Squad" gang that night.

Comments about All-Aluminum Products Wonder Wheeler Deluxe All Terrain Cart:
This product is so perfect for transporting everything from the car to the beach in 1 trip!
TERRIBLE! Cracked Plastic!
By Jon
from West Michigan
I was rally excited for this product, then in arrived and all hopes were smashed on the rocks. It came cracked at the hinges, the plastic holding it was very easy to break apart from what remained. "Hey, these things happened." I thought and ordered the replacement. It wasn't cracked on arrival, as I put it together, however, one of the small wheel tabs broke off, so it wouldn't attach to the port. I grabbed a wheel from the old damaged one I haven't returned yet, that did ft. I then finished it, then as I tried to collapse it, which is easy to do, plastic around one of the hinges cracked off. I've read the reviews on this item, most seemed positive. This version was less expensive, so I believe they went with a cheaper form of plastic as it breaks so easily. This is an item designed to take to the beach, an enviroment of corse particles, lugging and pulling, rough terrain. Yet this item couldn't withstand my living room. Cheap plastic, very disappointed.
Broke During Assembly - Cust. Serv. A+
By KKMom
from Sacramento, CA
Was excited to see this product to help transport our stuff to swim meets. Was disappointed that a front wheel broke during assembly. Called customer service and they sent a replacement right away. Just received it, so I have not attempted a second try at assembling, nor have I had a chance to use it yet.
Great for Beach, poor assembly
By Amy
from West Chester, OH
The concept of this item is great for a beach vacation. The problem was that when assembled both front wheels broke. We had to call the manufacturer and they sent two new wheels, but not in time for our departure on the beach vacation. I guess we'll be ready for next year.

About Me Grandparent
Product is good but could be great if the parts were of a little better quality! Sadly our 1st one came broken from shipping, but the company was great in promptly replying to our email and when we followed their process, our account with a refund once they received the damaged product. We ended up buying same product locally for $20 more, because we needed it asap. We like the cart and use it in Florida on the beach. It works best pulling on the hard packed sand, but pulls fairly easy in the softer sand as well. Obviously it's WAY better than trying to carry all our beach stuff by ourselves! We would recommend it :))

I was LUCKY to obtain mine from a yard sale for [$]...CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!! It was brand new never used. I had no idea what a gem of a find it was until I started using it. I bring groceries from the car and use as a laundry hamper for clean clothes to be folded. It's great at the mall during Holidays when the stores don't have carts provided for your shopping. You have your own portable cart/buggy.
I am very happy with this product.
By Peggy
from Central Pennsylvania
This was a great help. We were able to take everything we needed for a day at the beach in one trip. Everything was loaded on here except the large canopy, the boogie boards and our 3 month old grandson. My sister in law is planning to buy one and I have already recommended it to another friend.
6 years and counting
By PJ

About Me First Time Parent
Bought this 6 years ago from OneStep and it has been used every weekend twice at beach plus other times, dragged through sand and on ground and long distances fully loaded. Just starting to show wear and tear - just the most awesome value for the price. The copycat version at large wholesalers is smaller and more expensive - so we are coming here to get #2 for our family.
not as easy as advertised
By teacher
from New Orleans
It turned out that it did not roll easily on the sand as advertised, at least not on Gulf Shores sand. It had to be pulled rather than pushed. Disappointed, as I had been looking and looking, and I trusted One Step to offer the best product on the market.
Great cart!
By Second time around
from Wooridge, IL
We love this cart. We have used at the beach on our vacation in Hilton Head, SC (just pull with the larger wheels first on the sand) and all of her stuff (chairs, cooler, umbrella, towels, table, sand toys) fit. We also use it for our older son's sport games so we don't have to carry the baseball equipment, chairs, diaper bag for our daughter, cooler with snacks/drinks, etc. I feel like we already got our money's worth in one summer.
All-Terrain Cart
By Nana Stacks
from Beverly MA
This cart is very handy and convenient. My only problem with it was the loss of the right front wheel the minute I rolled it onto the sand at the beach. The part of the wheel that attaches it to the cart snapped off. The cart is still usable, but is less than perfect.
Missing front wheel parts
By GDaddy
from Newport Beach, CA
Intended to haul gear to the beach but can't use it because it arrived missing front wheel parts.
By LBM
from Cape May, nj
This product is awful. We took it to the beach twice and then decided it was easier just to carry our things in our hands. The wheels do not turn once it gets on the sand so it is extremely difficult to pull (it took two of us) and impossible to push. We did not have it overloaded, we had one umbrella and a few towels and a chair. It also makes a high pitched squeaking sound like metal on metal. It was so loud that a neighbor asked us along the way if we wanted to borrow her WD-40. Maybe we just got a dud but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
Love it!
By Faucette
from Fuquay Varina, NC
I bought this product for our beach trip. I took both my kids (2 and 4) to the beach by myself and I could have never done it without the cart! It held towels, toys, a cooler, beach chairs, the umbrella, etc. The cart is made to be pulled in the sand...so as long as you do that, you're good to go!
Excellent Cart!
By Beach Mom
from Columbia, SC
Purchased this for the beach because it's so hard to manage all the beach gear and two young children. We've used it one weekend and LOVE it. It is well worth the price. Easy to PULL, even in soft sand. Pushes easily on boardwalks, streets, packed sand. Love the removeable bag that comes with it! Took up about as much space as a stroller (the kind you can hook a carseat/carrier into), which wasn't too bad. Held up great for the first weekend... hoping it lasts a long time. NOTE: the box was damaged and a plastic part broken when it arrived. the customer service rep gladly sent out a replacement and sent a pre-paid return label with no problems.

The U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs will a hold an informational hearing on Feb. 9 to discuss internet gambling issues in light of the Justice Department's new view of federal law.
The last hearing of the Indian Affairs Committee on Nov. 17th illuminated several key issues, and the upcoming hearing is an ideal forum for bringing them into clearer focus.
For example, there already exists a federal agency with experience regulating gambling. If the federal government is going to assume new duties related to the regulation of gambling on the internet, it might make most sense to delegate those duties to an agency that already has relevant experience. In the United States, that agency is the National Indian Gaming Commission.
Created pursuant to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. 2701), the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) oversees aspects of the regulation of gambling on tribal territory in conjunction with tribal regulatory authorities who are local to the tribe.
General Counsel for NIGC, Larry S. Roberts, appeared as a witness at the Indian Affairs Committee's last hearing, but at that time Roberts was generally reluctant to comment on any potential role for NIGC because no federal bill has ever proposed to give NIGC a role. Nonetheless, Roberts' testimony and the question and answer exchange which takes place afterward provides great perspective of the issues.
Overall, compared to the earlier hearings in the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the discussion at the Indian Affairs Committee's last hearing was far more productive. This is partly because the Indian Affairs Committee proceeded on the assumption that regulation is probably necessary, so the committee was therefore able to spend more time contemplating the most effective means to achieve necessary goals. Meanwhile the House Energy and Commerce Committee has struggled to overcome the gateway question of whether internet gambling should even be regulated in the first place.
Video of the last Indian Gaming Committee hearing on Nov. 17th is available for streaming on the committee's website.
Also available on the committee's website is the testimony of all witnesses at the last hearing, including Larry S. Roberts, General Counsel of the National Indian Gaming Commission; Bruce "Two Dogs" Bozsum, Chairman of the Mohegan Tribe (located within Connecticut); Glen Gobin, Chairman of Tulalip Tribes (located within Washington); Ernie Stevens, Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Association; Alfonse D'Amato, Chairman of the Poker Players Alliance; Penny Coleman, Principal of Coleman Indian Law (firm based in Washington, D.C.); and Grant W. Eve, whose company provides consulting and certified public accounting firms for more than 100 tribal entities.

Each year, Scouting units (Packs, Troops, and Crews) are required to renew their charters with the Dan Beard Council. A charter is the official agreement between the council and your local chartered organization to provide a program under the auspices of the BSA. The process of renewing a unit's charter reinforces this agreement year-to-year and provides an opportunity to update registration records and qualify for Quality Unit status.
This year, the volunteer commissioner staff has committed to a goal of 100% of correct and complete charter renewal packets being turned in by the on-time deadline of December 16, 2011 -- an ambitious goal that can only be met by the assistance of unit volunteers collaborating with their Unit Commissioners to complete the process promptly.
The charter renewal information is to completed by the unit, typically the Committee Chairman or the Chartered Organization Representative. The council prepares a charter renewal packet for each unit, which is distributed at the October district roundtable meetings (packets can also be picked up at the Scout Achievement Center or requested from your District Executive). The packet includes a handbook for completing and "error-free" charter, the unit roster as of October 1, 2012, the charter renewal worksheet, and a Direct Contact Leader Training Validation Worksheet. Before beginning the process, you should carefully read the handbook to understand the process -- be sure to contact your Unit Commissioner or District Executive if you have questions.
After reviewing the instructions, collect the most current information from your members for updating your unit roster and any adult or youth applications for anyone that is not already registered. Next, login to the Internet Recharter system (available October 15, 2012) and follow the screens to complete the online portion of the charter. Collect all membership and insurance fees from your members and prepare the payment to the Dan Beard Council. Obtain signatures from the Unit Leader and Institution Head (the executive officer of your organization), complete the other forms in the packet, and return the packet to your Unit Commissioner by December 14, 2012.
In the past, many charter packets have been submitted with incomplete information, missing signatures, or incorrect payment -- this causes the charter to enter a "defective" status and it cannot be processed. Defective charters result in additional work for the unit volunteers and Unit Commissioners and can cause the charter to miss the on-time renewal deadline. For the 2012 charter renewal process, the commissioner staff has implemented an "error-free" packet requirement. By striving to educate unit volunteers on the renewal process, providing clearer instructions, and rejecting charter packets with errors, the commissioner staff will be able to most effectively manage the recharter process council-wide.
Charter packets will only be accepted for turn-in after a review by the Unit Commissioner and/or a professional for errors. A packet will not be accepted unless it includes:
Units can qualify for free rank advancement patches from the Scout Shop by meeting the Free Rank requirements. This means that rank advancement patches will be given to the unit at no cost for all of 2012 when submitting an advancement report to the Scout Shop. Note that these patches only include rank advancements, not belt loops, arrow points, merit badges, or other achievements. The requirements for Free Rank Advancements have been reduced from previous years and now include:
After verification, units that meet this requirements will be notified by email by January 20, 2013.

Bugatti Galibier 16C teased in extended YouTube clip
The Bugatti 16C Galibier was introduced to the United States at the Los Angeles auto show in 2009. It featured the same 16-cylinder engine as the Veyron with the same 1000-hp-or-so output.
We didn't hear much about the car until last April when Bloomberg news reported that parent company VW OK'd plans to build the ultra-luxury sedan. The report said that Bugatti and Bentley chief Wolfgang Durheimer had been pushing for the car to be made since his arrival.
We experienced radio silence on the car for almost a year until yesterday, when the company uploaded a near five-minute video on YouTube extolling the virtues of the mythical beast.
The video is full of symbolism and metaphors and an awful lot of fuzzy detailed shots of the car. We're not sure if this is a good sign for the Galibier. But more 1,000-plus hp cars are okay in our book.

So So Satisfied (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 514992) Warner/Wounded Bird, 1977 — Condition: New Copy
Sublimely satisfying work from Ashford & Simpson – a stone killer from the height of their late 70s glory days on Warner Brothers! The pair are working together wonderfully at this point – wrapped up in that blend of upbeat soul and righteous undercurrents that made them a real cut above in mainstream soul – getting great help from arrangers William Eaton, Paul Riser, and Al Gorgoni – all of whom know how to hit that perfect Ashford & Simpson balance between tightness, class, and soulful spontaneity! Backings are always filled with lots of jazzy touches, too – the kind of sophisticated soul elements other would cop from the pair in years to come – and titles include "Over & Over", "It's You", "If You're Lying", "Couldn't Get Enough", "Destiny", "So So Satisfied", and "Tried Tested & Found True". CD features 4 bonus tracks – "Over & Over (12" disco mix)", "Over & Over (Simphouse M&M mix)", "Tried Tested & Found True (12" disco mix)", and "Tried Tested & True (Simphouse M&M mix)". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Saturday Morning Fever: Plano West looking to finally make an impact on Day 2
BY Kevin Hageland, firstname.lastname@example.com
Plano West is no stranger to the Division I FOX Sports Southwest 7-on-7 State Championship Tournament.
But heading into the 15th incarnation of the event, which takes place Friday and Saturday at Texas A&M's Penberthy Intramural Fields, West has a very defined goal it has never achieved in College Station: win on Day 2.
"We've made no secret about the fact that we want to win games on Saturday," said Kelly Mercer, West offensive coordinator. "And the kids are really confident this year. They believe in what they are doing and who is playing alongside them. So even if we don't match up with all the teams athletically, we feel we can outplay and outhustle them."
Led by quarterback Travis Korry and the wide receiver trio of Austin Copeland, Zac Gideo and Will Baldridge on offense as well as Tim Okposin, John Rind and Davis Roeschke on defense, West will have its work cut out if it hopes to remain undefeated through pool play let alone the weekend.
West is in Pool I with Tyler Lee, Port Arthur Memorial and Waco.
"The pools are always hard to gauge going in because there really is no specific set of seeding," Mercer said. "So usually you only know the basics about some of these teams, such as how they have looked in the fall and who they beat to qualify for 7-on-7 state."
West won't have to worry about that with all of Friday's pool play games though as West beat Tyler Lee, 43-20, three weeks ago in the champions pool at the Rockwall SQT.
"It was an amazing day for us; we played good defense and were able to consistently keep them from scoring," Mercer said. "But at the same time, Tyler Lee had already qualified for state, so you might have to take that win with a grain of salt because they might not have had all their players out there.
"Plus they have been to state something like 14 years in a row, so you know they are very adept at 7-on-7."
West closes pool play at 6 p.m. Friday on Field A against Lee with games at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Field B versus Waco and Memorial, respectively.
"I'm from the Waco area and they are usually filled with athletes, but I'm not sure how that will translate to 7-on-7," Mercer said. "Now Memorial, the feeling is this could be the most talented 7-on-7 team we have faced in a long, long time. They have some ferocious defensive backs."
That scouting report aside, Mercer is not ready to concede any game.
"I expect all our pool play games to be close at halftime," he said. "But we believe our conditioning will be key and can carry us through in the second half."
Conditioning is just one of the aspects West will focus on Friday.
"This is another chance to compete and beat the guy across from you, which is the goal 60-70 times every Friday night," Mercer said. "And it's another chance to run what is basically the same offense and defense we will use in the fall against offenses and defenses we've never seen before.
"It'll be fun to watch the kids adjust."
The adjustments will continue off the field.
"Being able to travel and deal with a different schedule is good for these kids to experience," Mercer said. "And we have some team building activities scheduled as well, so I think this is going to be a great experience and hopefully one that helps us respond in the fall."
The ultimate goal is to improve for the start of the varsity season, but this weekend is big for the Wolves as well.
All teams will play Saturday with the top two from each pool participating in the Championship Bracket and the bottom two going to the Consolation Bracket. It will take four wins to get to the finals of either 32-team field, which culminate at Kyle Field, but West is focused on starting with at least one win Saturday.
"There have been a couple times where we felt like we could win some games on Saturday and then came out and just didn't play as well as we could," Mercer said. "We feel this group is ready to do that; these guys are ready to take that next step."

It's going to be a looooong day |
We never co-slept when Abbey was a baby; she was in her cot from day one. Some parents hate the thought of their baby being in a room alone, in a big cot, so young - but I loved it. I recognised very early on that I needed my own space, and having that time while Abbey was asleep meant I could be a better parent when she was awake.
Middle of the night feeds (although short-lived - don't hate me), I got up for, preferring to be fully awake and then have good quality sleep when it was over.
So baby co-sleeping wasn't done here.
But somewhere between teething and toddlerhood, that message got lost. She'd wake in the middle of the night and walk to our room, and a very tired Steve would help her climb into our bed. I'm no help - I sleep through her waking. But once she's in our bed, it's a different story.
Neither Steve nor I sleep while she's there. The minute one of us begins to nod off, there comes a kick or a roll over that pushes us to the very edge of the bed. And you're left hanging there, not wanting to push her over and wake her. I lie there hoping that her being so close next to me means Steve will be able to fall asleep, and then spend the next few hours alternately worrying about random things that seem important but that I don't even remember in the morning, and checking the clock to lament how many hours it will be until she'll wake.
It's that limbo state between sleep and awake. Not asleep enough to be rested, but not awake enough to have a logical thought, like: Just get up and put her into her own bed and then we'll all get some sleep.
A couple of months ago, Steve and I realised she ended up in our bed most nights and we were falling into this cycle of tiredness. So we called an end to it, and I asked Steve to wake me when Abbey woke and I'd take her back to bed and stay up to deal with any fuss that incurred. A short-term struggle for the long-term aim of sleep. Glorious sleep.
It was done, and it worked well. But the odd night of lazily and sleepily letting her into our bed throws our lives into chaos.
Steve has to go to work, and it's worrying thinking about him being so tired when he works up ladders, with sharp blades and dangerous materials, and often has to drive a fair distance from home.
And me, well, it's hard to be a good parent when you're exhausted. Any parent will attest to that (and many know sleep deprivation far worse than I've experienced). I spend the day biting my tongue, trying to talk nicely to my well-rested, energetic daughter, angry at myself for not waking and putting her back to bed, irrationally angry at Steve for not waking me to put her back to bed, and feeling sorry for myself that I have a toddler who doesn't nap.
Co-sleeping? Yep, I hate it.
Do you, or did you, co-sleep? Love it or hate it? And does anyone actually manage to get a good night's sleep with a child in their bed?

Knicks beat Pistons in London
LONDON (AP) — Carmelo Anthony returned to his Olympic gold medal past and scored 26 points Thursday to lead the New York Knicks to a 102-87 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Anthony scored 18 in the first half as the Knicks (25-13) jumped out to a 16-2 lead before holding a double-digit lead for most of the game.
Amare Stoudemire added 17 points for the Knicks and J.R. Smith scored 16. Will Bynum led the Pistons with 22 points.
The Pistons (14-25) were the home team at the O2 Arena in London, the site of the Olympic gold-medal game during last year's London Games. It was the third regular-season NBA game played at the venue, where the then-New Jersey Nets swept the Toronto Raptors in a pair of games two years ago.
Anthony and Tyson Chandler were on the team that celebrated a gold medal for the United States with a win over Spain in August. Chandler scored 10 points on Thursday and pulled down 14 rebounds.
Anthony has now scored at least 20 points in 25 straight games, extending the longest such streak of his career.
After Tayshaun Prince netted a pair of free throws for the opening points of the game, the Knicks went on tear.
Chandler started it off with a dunk, and Anthony soon followed with a pair of 3-pointers sandwiched between Jason Kidd's 3-pointer and Chris Copeland's layup.
Iman Shumpert, in his season debut after recovering from knee surgery, nailed another 3-pointer soon after to complete the 16-0 run and put the Knicks in control.
Trailing 56-41 at the half, the Pistons mounted a third-quarter comeback. They scored 10 straight points midway through the period amid their own 16-2 run to cut the lead to 67-63. Continued...
Anthony ended the run with a pass rather than another basket.
The Knicks forward drilled a pass across the baseline to Steve Novak, who nailed a jumper. Stoudemire then sank a free throw before Smith hit a jump shot after running the court with his own rebound. Anthony finished off the third quarter with a lay-in to make it 75-63.
In the fourth, the Pistons briefly cut the lead to single digits when Bynum scored seven straight points to make it 83-75, but the Knicks pulled away again — this time for good.
The Knicks had won only three of their last eight games heading into Thursday's action, but they now have won two straight and next host the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
For the Pistons, who next host the Boston Celtics on Sunday, it's their second loss in a row. But they have still won five of the last eight.
The crowd at the O2 cheered loudly at times, but there were stretches of silence during some portions of the game. There was even a quiet moment before the game started, though it appeared to be an accident.
With Stoudemire and Prince on the court before the game speaking to the crowd with a microphone, the sound went out just as Prince was thanking the fans for their support.
The fans let out a round of boos, but they soon started cheering again as the game got underway.
In the second quarter, the referees had to resort to the video replay to make a flagrant foul call on Pistons forward Austin Daye. With Chandler driving toward the hoop, Daye hit him hard and knocked him to the ground.
Chandler made both free throws and Smith added a 3-pointer about 10 seconds later to make it 44-24 midway through the quarter. Continued...
Notes: Knicks fan and movie director Spike Lee made the trip to London to see his team and sat courtside as usual, wearing a blue suit with an orange tie. ... The Knicks' game against the Nets on Monday — Martin Luther King Jr. Day — at Madison Square Garden will mark the 14th consecutive year in which the team is playing on a holiday, and 27th overall. ... Several soccer players came to the O2 to watch, including former Arsenal great Thierry Henry. ... Former NBA players Bill Laimbeer and John Starks were also at the game.
