Smyrna wrestler Brent Fleetwood was the only Delaware wrestler to win a championship at the Beast of the East Tournament held this weekend at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark.
Smyrna High School's Brent Fleetwood is officially a "Beast" after capturing the 113 lb. wrestling title Sunday afternoon at the prestigious Beast of the East Wrestling Tournament held at the University of Delaware's Bob Carpenter Center this weekend. The 20th annual tournament packed the Bob on Saturday and Sunday with more than 750 wrestlers from 103 high schools in 13 states. Fleetwood, the top seed in his weight class, defeated the second seed, Aaron Assad of Brecksville by an 8-1 count. In the semifinal round, he narrowly defeated Charles Tucker from Blair Academy 3-1 to get a chance at winning the title.
After the victory, Fleetwood said he was at a loss for words. "I was nervous going out and it's just an awesome feeling. My coach is really big on just going out and opening it up and just acting like it was any other match. I was just trying to pretend it wasn't the Beast of the East finals and I just wrestled and did whatever I could," said Fleetwood.
On Saturday, Fleetwood won his first match with a 17-0 technical fall over Cumberland Valley's (Pa.) Sam Horning. Then, he earned a 5-1 decision over Nick Farro of Delbarton (N.J.) in the second round, and advanced to Sunday's quarterfinal matches by edging J.D. Gregory of Hanover (Va.), with 4-2 decision.
"Brent wrestled a nice match and didn't make any mistakes and just wrestled aggressively. I think he had to come back from a couple of tough matches during the day and Saturday night. It was a great match for him," said Smyrna coach Kurt Howell, a former standout wrestler at Newark High School.
Two other Delaware wrestlers, Caesar Rodney's Micah Hight and Thomas Ott of Cape Henlopen won several matches and accumulated scoring points for their teams.
This year's team Beast is Blair Academy with 305 points. Smyrna was 26th with 61.5 points. A total of 14 local schools participated, including Appoquinimink (10)2, Caesar Rodney (35), Cape Henlopen (76), Caravel (T-95), Delaware Military Academy(86), Middletown (83), Milford (84), Salesianum (68), St. Mark's (72), Sussex Central (61), Sussex Tech (T-91), A.I. DuPont (T-95) and Woodbridge (T-91). St. Mark's has the distinction of participating in all 20 events, and hosted several tournaments in the early days.
Tournament Director Bobby Shaw announced his retirement after ten years at the helm of Beast of the East. Shaw, a former wrestler at Salesianum High School, is only the second person lead the tournament. He'll be replaced by Steve Lex, who's been involved with the organization for several years.
Fleetwood's Tournament Summary:
113 - Brent Fleetwood's place is 1st and has scored 27.50 team points:
Champ. Round 1 – B. Fleetwood (Smyrna) won by tech fall over Sam Horning (Cumberland Valley) (TF 170) Champ. Round 2 - Brent Fleetwood (Smyrna) won by decision over Nick Farro (Delbarton), (Dec 5-1)
Champ. Round 3 - Brent Fleetwood (Smyrna) won by decision over JD Gregory (Hanover), (Dec 4-2)

By Neal Armstrong - Jun 26, 2013 12:31 PM GMT+0400
Foreign-exchange traders becalmed by central bank largesse are finding that even currencies from Group of 10 nations are about as hard to escape as emerging markets once volatility rises.
Norway's krone is the biggest loser among 31 currencies tracked by Bloomberg since June 18, the day before the Federal Reserve signaled it may reduce its stimulus measures this year, falling 5.9 percent against the dollar and 3.6 percent versus the euro. Sweden's krona posted the second-biggest drop. The declines exceeded those of the Polish zloty and Indian rupee.
As two of the three least-traded G-10 developed-nation currencies based on the latest triennial survey by the Bank for International Settlements, the krone and krona trapped investors while the Fed roiled markets worldwide. As long as central banks were tamping down volatility by providing unprecedented stimulus, traders were confident to take ever bigger risks by wading into hard-to-trade currencies.
"In relatively low-liquidity currencies, such as the Scandinavians, you get these big moves when all the investors want to rush through the same exit door," Thomas Kressin, the Munich-based head of European foreign exchange at Pacific Investment Management Co., which oversees about $2 trillion, said in a June 24 phone interview.
'Shallow' Liquidity
Traders who use debt to amplify returns in the krone and krona likely exacerbated the declines by being forced to sell to meet margin calls, Kressin said.
The two Nordic currencies accounted for just 3.5 percent of the $4 trillion of average daily turnover in foreign-exchange markets in the three years to 2010, the Basel, Switzerland-based BIS said. The krone was little changed at 6.0962 to the dollar as of 9:27 a.m. in London, while the krona traded at 6.7173.
"Liquidity is very shallow in the Scandies," Lee Oliver, a London-based director at Citigroup Inc., the second-largest currency trader, wrote in a report to clients on June 24.
Scandinavian midsummer public holidays meant many local traders and investors were absent from their desks at the end of last week, compounding the lack of liquidity, according to Richard Falkenhall, a strategist at SEB AB in Stockholm.
Exiting Trades
"This is a move related to foreign investors" exiting trades, Falkenhall said in a June 24 phone interview. "Probably there were more longs in these trades than we thought," he said, referring to bets an asset will rise.
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said last week the central bank may pare its unprecedented bond-buying program this year and end it in mid-2014 if the economy improves in line with its expectations. His comments after the Fed's June policy meeting sparked a selloff in relatively high-risk assets on speculation there will be less cash circulating in the global economy.
Norway's krone slipped to 6.1737 per dollar, the weakest level since December 2010, and a 2 1/2-year low of 8.0819 per euro on June 24, before rebounding the most in more than a week yesterday. The Swedish krona dropped to a seven-month low of 6.8018 per dollar and a one-year low of 8.8990 versus the euro, before rising for the first time in four days yesterday.
Sweden's currency will end the year at 6.69 per dollar and 8.5 versus the euro, while Norway's krone will be at 5.92 and 7.45, according to median estimates of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News.
Rising Volatility
The JPMorgan Global FX Volatility Index (JPMVXYGL), which measures price swings in currencies, rose as high as 11.96 this week from a more than five-year low 7.05 in December.
The lack of liquidity also pushed up price swings in the Nordic currencies. Three-month volatility in the Norwegian krone versus the dollar jumped 33 percent in the past week and swings inSweden's krona rose 11 percent, Bloomberg data show.
The currencies have been weakening since about the end of the first quarter even as Sweden defies the recession in the euro region and Norway benefits from oil revenues that bolstered its $730 billion sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest.
Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg said that he welcomes a weaker exchange rate.
"I don't mind the krona weakening a little bit when we see problems in the world economy," Borg said yesterday in a phone interview with Bloomberg Television's Francine Lacqua and Guy Johnson. "We don't have a strong krona policy. We believe that the market should set the rate."
Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt echoed that sentiment, saying yesterday said the krona's recent slump has brought relief to exporters after the government ruled out tampering with the exchange rate.
Faster Growth
Sweden's Riksbank has refrained from lowering interest rates, which tend to reduce the appeal of a currency, at its last two policy meetings. Gross domestic product increased 0.6 percent in the first quarter, up from 0.1 percent in the previous three months and compared with a 0.3 percent estimate in a Bloomberg News survey.
Norway (NOGDCOS) will grow 2.4 percent this year and 3 percent in 2014, Statistics Norway forecast on May 30. Its central bank, Norges Bank, has kept inflation below its 2.5 percent target since mid-2009 even as it signaled it may lower its deposit rate from 1.5 percent. That's putting pressure on the krone.
"We are dealing here with fundamentally sound currencies," said Pimco's Kressin. "Once the positions are washed out, investors will have opportunities to buy these currencies at really attractive levels. For long-term investors, this is a great opportunity."
No Target
Norges Bank Governor Oeystein Olsen said June 21 he has no specific target for the krone even as he acknowledged policy makers were aware they would trigger a slump by lowering the outlook for borrowing costs.
Bilal Hafeez, the head of global foreign-exchange strategy at Deutsche Bank AG, the biggest currency trader, said the German lender's data show a build-up of positions in Nordic currencies that still need to be unwound.
"Some of the largest positioning going into the Fed was in the Scandinavian currencies," Hafeez said in a phone interview on June 24. "The market is exhibiting a lot of risk-aversion and position unwinds. Unless we get stabilization in that, or a shift in the domestic story within Scandinavia, I don't think one should try to fade these moves."

In most cases, people think about this when their furniture has endured a lot of wear and tear. The traffic that the furniture has to endure will make it mandatory for you to consider reupholstering the furniture, or throwing them away and getting a new set. As you can imagine, the cost of getting a new set is far higher than upholstering, so most people choose to redo the upholstery again. It makes the furniture look as good as new and infuses a fresh aesthetic appearance in your home too.
On average, you will spend around $647 on upholsterers in Menomonee Falls for your chairs, while couches can cost between $344 and $949. Dining chairs are relatively more affordable to reupholster, since you can get this done for $40 per chair. In case you have a very large sofa, it can cost around $1,200. What you need to do before you sign a contract with anyone is to consult the contractor ahead of time and get them to help you understand the upholstery costs. If you are comfortable with what you have discussed with them, go ahead and let them do their work for you.
While still on the cost consideration, a lot of people are often torn between getting the services of an upholsterer in Menomonee Falls or purchasing new seats. Technically, working with an upholsterer would be the best option because it will be cheaper. Other than that, you are also not contributing to the continuous landfills, which means that you are relatively taking good care of your environment. Old furniture is one of the most common contributors to landfills all over the world, so you can help avoid this by hiring a professional upholsterer for help.
For reference it may be helpful to compare the costs from surrounding towns as well:
In case your furniture is less than 10 years old, you will generally need to get the help of an upholsterer in Menomonee Falls. In fact, this is the best option other than considering replacing them with a new set. If you do not like the outlook on the furniture, visit a professional upholsterer and discuss how they can be of service to you. Such furniture can still serve you for many years, so reworking the fabric will be ideal, and this can also help you with the interior décor.
Most manufacturers use hardwood for the frames of their furniture. After that, they connect the joints with screws, glue or dowels. Hardwood generally lasts longer than most of the other types of wood. In case you have furniture made of hardwood, you have a guarantee of a sturdy performance for years. Furniture refinish in Menomonee Falls will be useful in case you are planning on a new set of furniture. You just need to change the fabric and your furniture will look as good as new.
For any service, it is always wise to know what you are paying for. There are three important services that the upholsterers in Menomonee Falls will perform on your seats. They will re-stuff the cushions, replace all the old fabric with a new one of your choice, and repair the springs and frame where necessary.

Hahahahah Presidents?????????? Weak but the list isn't too bad so far
- February 25, 2008 at 8:35 AM
nu-uh! the presidents will be awesome!
- February 25, 2008 at 8:42 AM
millions of peaches will be the highlight of the fest :)
- February 25, 2008 at 8:46 AM
I am going to see the presidents in a couple weeks, double dose of peaches for me! I have never seen Flaming Lips so I am syked after hearing how amazing they were at the last Sasquatch and Franti always gets the crowd going, I thought it was way more fun having him on a small stage last year.
I am still hoping to see the National and Devon Williams added
- February 25, 2008 at 8:58 AM
Someone at the coachella boards called the end and got this list
Here is the rest of the lineup....
New Pornographers, The National, Beirut, Dedue Fever, Fleet Foxes, The Breeders, Okkervil River, The Little Ones, The Grand Archives, David Bazan, Joshua Morrison, Throw the Statue, Kinski, The Cave Singers, Battles, Jamie Liddell, Ghostland Observatory, Mars Volta (pending), Matt Costa, Awesome, J. Tillman, The Heavenly States, 65 Days of Static, White Heaven?, Mates of State, Blue Scholars, Say Hi, Dyme Def, Siberian, The Shaky Hands
- February 25, 2008 at 9:04 AM
Mars Volta will be great if no one throws piss at them.
Sad to see no Fall of Troy or Schoolyard Heroes.
So is it Flaming Lips and Death Cab for day three then?
- February 25, 2008 at 9:11 AM
where are the raconteurs, gogol bordello or gnarls barkley....sad
- February 25, 2008 at 9:13 AM
Gorgol Bordello are doing a show soon, maybe their tour is taking them too far from the Northwest?
Here's how the lineup is gonna break down, according to the DJ I spoke to (the one who broke the lineup)
Modest Mouse and REM are Staurday
Death Cab and the Cure Sunday (this will be "The End's day", which means a lot of the bands they play will likely play then. POTUSA, Hives, Cold War Kids seem to be likely on that day. Tegan and Sara as well).
Mars Volta (not confirmed) and Flaming Lips Monday.
No shocker that Flaming Lips are closing the show after 2006.
She said more bands are potential, but she wasn't sure who they'd be yet.
- February 25, 2008 at 9:20 AM
ladytron - seattle may 24 @ showbox? wtf
- February 25, 2008 at 9:26 AM
I'd be suprised if built to spill didn't open for whoever headlines on monday. They're definitely popular enough to do it (I saw them open for the pixies a couple years ago at bumbershoot and then the pixies headlined sasquatch...) and monday is the only day without a band before the headliner.
overall this is a pretty good line up. For a while I was hoping for some big get like pearl jam but then I realized that I'd rather have bands like the flaming lips then just about any bigger name...
- February 25, 2008 at 9:55 AM
B2S will probably main stage before Mars Volta, they're gonna open if they get confirmed.
Day by day lineup is in progress on the forums
- February 25, 2008 at 9:57 AM
Only 55 bands?
That's surprising, considering that last year's festival had 40 acts and was only two days.
- February 25, 2008 at 10:10 AM
I'm surprised that they are using the same headliners so soon... Flaming Lips & Death Cab were both there in 2006 (and the Lips played 2004 I think) and Franti played last year (although he got bumped from the main stage due to the wind and had to go on the same time as the Beasties... so maybe that's why he was invited back). Modest Mouse played in 2005 and were at the Gorge last August for Download Fest.
I personally think the Lips are the ultimate festival closer, but maybe not so soon. Guaranteed it will be a good (great) time, but there's something a bit lacking in seeing the same bands at the same festival so soon.
- February 25, 2008 at 10:58 AM
this list is stale. disappointing. seen it before.
- February 25, 2008 at 11:12 AM
Yeah, I totally hate seeing fantasic live bands every 2 years.
Why do awesome bands have to play so often? Can't they wait, like, 5 years between shows? I'd rather see some sucky bands and put DCFC and Flaming Lips on the back burner for 2010.
- February 25, 2008 at 11:21 AM
Sasquatch! seems to be remixing itself this year:
2007-Michael Franti, MIA (cancelled), Ozomatli, The Blakes
2006-DCFC, Flaming Lips, Blue Scholars, Matt Costa, Jamie Lidell, Heavenly States,
2005-Blue Scholars
2004-Built to Spill, New Pornographers
2003-Flaming Lips, DCFC
2002-Thank God NO Ben Harper or JJ!!!
- February 25, 2008 at 11:28 AM
I'd argue that Death Cab is extremely bad live.
I wish they'd branch out from almost purely rock. M83 is playing Neumos on May 25. They should've got him
- February 25, 2008 at 11:29 AM
I'm just glad there's no Jack Johnson, haha.
- February 25, 2008 at 11:36 AM
Great LIVE bands?????? I only see a couple. DCFC is terrible live. I was worried from the beginning that they might get better studio artists than live acts :(. However, Beirut and the Lips will be amazing. I'm still puzzled by the comedy tent/stage. They only have the Conchords listed (Presidents could count also) for comedy, wierd.
- February 25, 2008 at 11:43 AM
But I also do LOVE the combo of the National, then MM, then REM...mmmmm that is a tasty burger.
- February 25, 2008 at 11:43 AM
Yes. M83 would have been perfect. What were they thinking? They sure dropped the ball on that one.
- February 25, 2008 at 12:01 PM
yo fools, i made a Sasquatch playlist!
- February 25, 2008 at 12:03 PM
- Daniel said...
- February 25, 2008 at 12:06 PM
shitty lineup, first year in a long time i'm not going. i could have though tof 20 other headliners that would have fit the bill other the the fucking flamer's lips and death cab for homo. lame. sasquatch, i'm so ashamed of you. have fun emo kids.
i can see it now, skinny pants and eyeliner EVERYWHERE.
- February 25, 2008 at 1:23 PM
Shitty lineup? What the fuck?
This lineup is totally solid. Lots of great indie bands. The headliners may not be everyone's cup of tea (I could care less for bands like the Cure and DCFC) but there are some spectacular newer acts littered throughout.
I'm quite happy to see the Flaming Lips on there since I missed the festival two summers ago. And thank god for Michael Franti.
- February 25, 2008 at 1:53 PM
I glad that the last guy who posted isn't going. He sounds like a downer.
pretty good lineup, some repeats from prevous year. and a couple more mid level band could be awesome.
Anyways thanks Dustin for all your hard work . finally we have a forum for sasquatch.
- February 25, 2008 at 2:10 PM
Wow, gay jokes. Way to show your maturity dude.
BTW, DCFC hasn't headlined yet, and isn't this year, and Flaming Lips weren't supposed to in 06, they were just mainstagers.
Mike Patton? meh (his name shows up on the main festival)
- February 25, 2008 at 2:20 PM
wow, i'm really stoked for this
- February 25, 2008 at 2:43 PM
- Daniel said...
Very solid. Pornos, Beirut, Destroyer, Franti, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, the National, Modest Mouse, MIA!!
I think its a very good lineup so far. Kanye, British Sea Power, Kings of leon and such would have been good, but im sure theres conflict or something.
And, whatever you think of the lineup... you cant deny it, its gonna be one awesome 3 night party!
- February 25, 2008 at 3:18 PM
Thank god there is no Jack Johnson. Every other festival this year (Coachella, Bonnaroo ete) looks relatively poor. That said this year Sasquatch may very well feel like a re-run of one of your favourite TV shows or films.The Flaming Lips again? Modest Mouse and DCFC - good studio bands but not that great live. Spearhead again? MIA again? I could go on. REM and the Cure - 15 + years past their prime. PUSA - with all due respect - WTF? Plus if you live in Seattle and like local music you have seen most of the NW acts big and small at least once or many times. There just isn't enough diversity here. Where are the national rap or dance acts? I guess not every year can be that interesting. That said, I hope but doubt that Spearhead, REM, Beirut, MIA and Flight of the Conchords are the same day. And it looks like the Flaming Lips have a new live show (different from the one that's been doing the rounds for several years now). My guess is we get REM and Modest Mouse on Saturday. The Cure and DCFC on Sunday and The Flaming Lips and Spearhead on Monday. That would be cool cos I could go hiking or sightseeing on Sunday.
- February 25, 2008 at 4:27 PM
is there a list anywhere of which days the bands are playing?
- February 25, 2008 at 5:17 PM
Anonymous the last: I can confirm all but Spearhead as being exactly as you described. and MIA missed out last year, so there's that too.
Last year there were 25ish bands a day, so one might expect another 15 to 20 bands to play. Plus there's the comedy tent; no telling how that'll change things.
- February 25, 2008 at 5:17 PM
Michael Franti likely was invited back because of the windstorm fiasco last year. A) he was moved from the main stage to the Wookie. B)it took for friggin' ever for the roadies to set up the Wookie properly (1.5+ hours) C)Anyone who toughed out the wait ended up missing Spoon, Interpol AND The Beastie Boys.
Death Cab's back because they're local and have a new album to promote.
The Flaming Lips are back because of their new movie or something.
The only group I don't really know the reason for a return performance is Ozomatli. Especially after just a year.
- February 25, 2008 at 6:26 PM
ok, why the f**k does everyone think dcfc sucks live. maybe if you only count the big hit songs like soul meets body or ill follow you into the dark, but when play their old stuff, they rock it. also now they have new songs to promote, i'm sure they'll be really good.
- February 25, 2008 at 6:49 PM
Yea, I'm quite happy with the lineup as it is... but I've definitely got my finger's crossed that they add a few more good acts. Although having adding 15-20 bands seems like a bit much, doesn't it?
- February 25, 2008 at 7:55 PM
Why do DCFC suck? I have seen them in a festival before and they just aren't best suited for that environment. Oh, and "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" may be the worst song ever. And that's from someone who likes everything up to the last album. It sounds like something that a 15 year old with their first crush would write and if anyone "mainstream" had recorded something so trite people would have openly vomited in the street.
- February 25, 2008 at 8:14 PM
Death Cab are great live - but maybe not at a festival setting. And as for repeats - just remember that some bands like the Blue Scholars didn't play on the main stage until 2006. And come on, Flight of the Conchords?? Who's not excited for them?!! I say great lineup!!!
- February 25, 2008 at 8:18 PM
"I Will Follow You into the Dark" is no less trite than mainstream Coldplay's "Fix You". You're entitled to your opinion, but be reasonable.
- February 25, 2008 at 8:32 PM
Hey you make a great point about that stinker from DCFC - it's only competition for most embarrasingly trite, cliched, and childish song ever is the nadir of Coldplay's catalogue. Don't get me wrong I think Ben Gibbard is a terrific songwriter and I am looking forward to the new album. Maybe DCFC could cover "Business Time" and the Flight of the Conchords could cover "I Will Follow You..." at Sasquatch. Ah..wishful thinking.
- February 25, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Not even a day has passed and The Presidents have already been REMOVED!!!!!!!! Who knows, maybe they are trying to set up the Comedy Tent :)!
- February 25, 2008 at 9:55 PM
DCFC when they stray from playing a studio version of their songs live, can be good. Ten minute We Looked Like Giants comes to mind the most.
I think the Presidents weren't supposed to be announced yet. I'll try to find out what's up via the local stations.
- February 26, 2008 at 2:24 PM
Any idea what a "Flaming Lips UFO Show" is?
I saw them in September and it was a slightly different show then they've been doing the past five years or so, but nothing majorly different. Just a bit more subdued and some different (older) songs.
Does it just mean their UFO rig/contraption will be there? 'Cause I'm pretty sure they had that at Sasquatch '06. I could be wrong though.
They have no new material so I'm a bit curious what it means. Why bill it as a "UFO Show" and not just
"The Flaming Lips"?
