Secret shopper or mystery shopper scams usually arrive disguised as genuine job offers; recently, Better Business Bureau has been receiving inquiries from consumers who've received suspicious emails and letters from alleged "employers."
With most mystery shopper job offer scams, cashiers' checks and letters arrive in the mail.
"Congratulations! You have been selected as a mystery shopper for your area! Deposit the enclosed money order into your personal bank account and shop at the following stores … [large, well-known retailers] … rating your experience with customer service, product availability and cleanliness; wire-transfer the remaining balance back to company headquarters."
A variation of overpayment scams, mystery shopper schemes leave depositors on the hook for the total amount when counterfeit checks ultimately bounce.
"When someone deposits a check, he or she is responsible for that check whether or not it is known that the check is a fake," says Robert W.G. Andrew, CEO of BBB serving Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington.
Employ caution when considering mystery shopper job opportunities and avoid offers that:

Phoenix Correspondent
FORT GIBSON – Class 4A's top-ranked Fort Gibson Tigers proved to be too much for the Hilldale Hornets as junior forward Zach Cobler scored three goals to keep the Tigers undefeated on the season at 4-0, beating Hilldale 8-0.
"Early on in the season we've had problems scoring a lot of goals and even in the first half tonight we let some goals get away from us in one-on-one situations that we should have finished," said Tigers coach Todd Friend. "But I was proud of our guys in the second half when we came out and scored in the first 40 seconds."
For the Hornets (1-4), there weren't a lot of positives about the game according to coach Brent Breckon with the possible exception of the play of his son, Michael, who came up with 13 saves in goal, several of them in those one-on-ones.
"He did a great job. If Michael doesn't have all those saves it would have been 10-0 10 or 15 minutes into the second half," said Breckon. "Again, as we've talked about before it's all about marking up on defense and we're just not getting it done."
Besides the hat trick for Cobler, Johan Chavez had a pair of goals as did Austin Ford while Nick Bailey put in one to round out the Fort Gibson scoring.
The Tigers will begin district play Thursday at Poteau, which is second in the Okrankings.com coaches poll.
FGHS 4, Hilldale 0
Sports headlines are usually reserved for those on offense that score the winning basket, touchdown or, in the case of soccer, goals.
But it was the domination of the midfield and defense by the Lady Tigers that spelled the big difference as they shut out the Lady Hornets at Leo Donahue Tiger Stadium Tuesday night. But defense was also a bright spot in the game for Hilldale, according to coach Brent Breckon.
"The girls played with a lot of heart and desire. We've worked hard on defense and it was just 2-0 until late in the game," said Breckon. "We played Fort Gibson in a preseason tournament and gave up four goals in 50 minutes. Tonight, we played 80 minutes and gave up just four goals."
The Lady Tigers, ranked No. 3, were led by Jordan Raynor with a pair of first-half goals while Brooke Benham had a goal and an assist and Gabby Escamillia put in the final goal off a deflection by Hilldale goalie Nicole Wright, who also had two great saves off shots by Raynor.
Despite having 23 shots on goal, Lady Tigers coach Jamie Snyder was not displeased with the offensive output of her team.
"I would like to have seen a little more in the way of goals but give Hilldale's defense a lot of credit for that," said Snyder. "They're much improved in just the second year of having a soccer program. There were a couple of shots in the first half that I thought we should have finished but otherwise I'm pretty well pleased with the win."
For the Lady Tigers (3-1), the stakes become higher as they begin district play Thursday at Poteau.
"We played Glenpool, which is No.1 in the state and Catoosa, which is No. 4," said Snyder. "We beat Glenpool and lost to Catoosa, so I think we're right there. I'd like us to play a little bit more consistent but our non-district schedule really helped me see where we are compared to the other top teams in the state."
The Lady Hornets (1-4) will play in the Stilwell tournament this weekend before getting into district play next week.

Re: Hardcore rushers... question....youngkyle1 May 11, 2012 11:52 PM (in response to electricfuneralfire)
I'm a hardcore rusher, but in MW2. Marathon lightweight ninja or scrambler pro. MW3 rushing isn't the same, but I know exactly what you mean.It's a very odd question to ask, but it happens to me too. You start out rushing turning on people and drop shotting, but then you loose concentration. I'd say it's more of the motivation, if I could give you advice, i'd say play music that really pumps you up, then your mind gets pumped up making you rush harder and better again. Works for myself.
Re: Hardcore rushers... question....blb128 May 12, 2012 6:01 AM (in response to electricfuneralfire)
I rush alot too and have the same issue. It usually happens to me if I play longer than 4 hours. I lose my focus and concentration. That is when it is time for me to log off for the night.
Re: Hardcore rushers... question....ill-lll May 12, 2012 7:32 PM (in response to blb128)
Rush often but get the same burnout. When it kicks in, I'll switch over to a sniper with quickdraw and pistol secondary. Encourages faster gameplay but you have to play a bit more cautiously. Helps slow things down without losing interest then can go back to rushing after a match or two feeling refreshed.
Re: Hardcore rushers... question....atiredoldguy May 12, 2012 8:12 PM (in response to electricfuneralfire)
I have the same issue regardless of rushing, camping or anything in between.
I can go on a really good killstreak and the instant I die it turns opposite and I wont be able to do anything.
The spawns will trip me up a bit , but the rest just seems to be me, and maybe some bad luck. People have meantioned sniperfrog , and I'm not totally aginst the theory. But it doesnt make sense that it would target me over one nice streak, but let other players to get streak after streak the whole match.
I have also noticed that when I hit certain goals with weapons, particularly kills, that suddenly I just cant do anything right until I switch weapons. I have a goal to get 1000 kills with all primaries before I prestige, and usually when I get close to level 31 it all goes to hell, and those last 50 or 100 kills to top off the 1000 take forever.
Re: Hardcore rushers... question....KTPhoenix May 13, 2012 3:45 AM (in response to electricfuneralfire)
i dont like rushers. i like playing S&D and this is one group i can do without. most of them have a stupid mentality. all the time we hear a guy always complaining that we are camping our spawn.....really? the match just started and you are in our spawn when we are just getting out of it and you are saying we are camping? how does that make sense? its not our fault you have an extreme conditioning class on a very small map. besides, the minute i find out you are a rusher, i WILL camp my spawn just to piss you off. i know you are coming for us so why should i go anywhere? you are just hurting yourself at that point.
the other reason is because when i play against rushers, i dont feel as though i play the way i want to. i want to play the way i want to play, but that is hard when you have people that are basically killing you before you have a chance to figure out where you want to go. i want to take some time to think first. that is how i am whether in game or real life, i like to think before i act. but these people dont let you do that because at first you have to wait for them to rush you, kill them, and THEN figure out the rest of the match. i dont like that.
but that is just my opinion.
Re: Hardcore rushers... question....electricfuneralfire May 13, 2012 11:30 AM (in response to KTPhoenix)
Phoenix that pretty much works both ways lol. And thats the goal of a rusher to kill, to kill you before you have a chance to think. Ive killed many people at the beginning of a match and heard them say things like"how the heck did that dude get there that quick"?
And Phoenix your the type of player (i'll use Mission for example) who camps the spawn on plant side and I rush clear over to your spawn and see no one, when I get there I know I shouldnt go the tad bit further to pursue you into your spawn but I just cant help myself. Then I get shot from every direction lol.
Re: Hardcore rushers... question....atiredoldguy May 13, 2012 11:49 AM (in response to KTPhoenix)
KTPhoenix wrote: the match just started and you are in our spawn when we are just getting out of it and you are saying we are camping? how does that make sense?
Part of that is the spawn process too. I always thought the point of the countdown timer was to sync everyone to spawn at the same time at least at the beginning.
But one day I was waiting to spawn at the start of a match in ffa and noticed I could see an enemy. Well, I can get the jump on him, I thought, since he was facing the other way. Then the guy turns and starts to run toward me. Crap! I thought, I was watching the guy and overlooked the timer........... I tried to fire at him , then realized I hadnt overlooked the timer ( well I guess I had ) it was still on 2................
So, basically, the guy had to spawn at least 3 seconds before me, maybe even 4. Thats plenty of time to get from one spawn to the next on most of the smaller maps.
Re: Hardcore rushers... question....electricfuneralfire May 13, 2012 11:51 AM (in response to electricfuneralfire)
The only time spawn campers make me mad is when they dont get my flank. Example (ill use mission again), on plant side if I have 2 or 3 dudes on my squad camp spawn I expect them to have my back when I rush up to the closest bomb. What I mean is no one should be able to take one of the long ways to our spawn then run back into the middle from our spawn and kill me from behind. Obviously once I clear out the middle and then I get killed from behind there is only one way someone could have came from.
This really doesnt just apply to spawn campers but snipers in general, or people who look down those long sight lines. For another example of what I mean i will use Seatown. Theres always people who go up on that cat walk on plant side and look out those 3 windows down to where that truck is. So when I rush down and into that door into the first floor of the 2 story building, I expect those guys to pick off anyone who try to come in there almost right behind me. I know mistakes happen, but things like this happen way to much. When something like this happens, I will immediately flip through evryones screen to see where they're at and I will usually always see 2 dudes that are looking right down there, where they seen (or should have seen) the dude who killed me coming from a mile away.
And of course some maps it isnt possbile for my teams spawn campers to have my back and I realize this and am fully aware of the dangers lol.
Re: Hardcore rushers... question....DaRyuujin May 13, 2012 12:47 PM (in response to electricfuneralfire)
I rush alot too and I run into the same problem, but what I started to realize is that when your beasting on them as a rush alot of times they will learn where you are rushing froma nd be prepared for your roiutes (espec if they are campoiung) so when I start getting jacked up I will andonmly switch up my routes and maybe not even go to the same area I've been getting kills because then they wont bve expecting me

the world's leading natural and organic foods supermarket, will open a new 40,000-square-foot store in Kildeer on Wednesday, March 6. The much-anticipated store, located at 20281 North Rand Road, will provide the Kildeer community with great-tasting, high-quality, natural and organic foods in a convenient and fresh contemporary setting. The move will be a relocation of the company's Palatine store, which has been part of the Whole Foods Market family since 1998.
Community Involvement
"Our ties to the Palatine community are something we are extremely proud to bring along with us to the new Kildeer store" states Store Team Leader Floyd Staine, who has been with the store since its origin as a Fresh Fields in 1993. For the Palatine store's final community contribution, a surplus of food staples will be donated to Community Keepers, an organization which helps distribute to area food pantries.
To honor their store opening, Whole Foods Market is inviting customers to help choose a beneficiary for the Kildeer store's first Community Support Day. Community members can nominate organizations by visiting the Kildeer store Facebook page and later voting in the store during opening week. In addition, Whole Foods Market will continue its support of the Palatine Opportunity Center through its One Dime at a Time program, where customers in Palatine, and later Kildeer, can opt to donate their reusable bag discount to the local nonprofit.
A Time for Celebration
The store's grand opening celebration will be two-fold: As the company closes its doors in Palatine, customers, community partners and team members (both past and present) will be welcomed to join Store Team Leader, Floyd Staine in toasting the end of an era and placing tokens from the store's 15-year history into a time capsule that will be later buried at the new Kildeer store location.
"It is extremely important to those of us who have been part of the Palatine store legacy to remember our roots, including all those who have worked with us, shopped with us, and helped us grow into this exciting new location" says Staine. On March 6 at 8:45 a.m., Whole Foods Market will welcome the community and local businesses to Kildeer for a bread-breaking ceremony. Mayor Nandia Black will join the festivities, including a tree planting and burial of the Palatine time capsule, as well as a pancake breakfast and entertainment for all to enjoy until the store opens its doors for the first time at 9 a.m.

For The Daily Item
There were plenty of milestones to celebrate Wednesday following the District 4 boys semifinal game between Selinsgrove and Warrior Run.
Yet only one mattered to Chris Lupolt, and that was the final score on the scoreboard.
David Aurand and Dustin Moyer each scored twice and the Seals knocked off the previously undefeated Defenders, 5-2, to advance to Saturday's Class AA championship game against Lewisburg.
In the process, Lupolt notched his 100th career win at the helm of the Selinsgrove boys program.
"It's a nice accomplishment but winning the match and moving on was more important," Lupolt said.
In addition, Aurand with his two goals tied Casey Moyer's single-season team mark of 33, and the senior midfielder has at least one more match to break the deadlock.

you know how kitchen drawer organizers will slide around in the drawer if they're not the exact same size as the drawer they're in?! i was working with a client yesterday and she had a fab idea! attach a couple pieces of velcro to the bottom of the drawer divider–which keeps it from moving around when you open the drawer. priceless.

Irish pub McDaid's is taking the place of Porter's City Tavern, which closed its doors on Raleigh's Hillsborough Street Sunday.
McDaid's owner Robert Beebe hopes to open the new spot in the next three to four weeks, and aims to keep much of the Porter's menu but add Irish dishes.
Beebe is co-owner of other area restaurants, including Trali Irish Pub in North Raleigh and Morrisville.
The closing of Porter's, an upscale restaurant set in a strip of fast food pizza joints and hipster coffee shops near the N.C. State University campus, will allow its owners to focus on opening more eateries under the Vivace name.
"(Porter's) had been there 10 years, and the lease was up. It was decision-making time," said Kevin Jennings, co-owner of Urban Food Group, which owns and manages Porter's, Vivace, Chow and Coquette. "… Our primary focus is duplicating Vivace and opening another restaurant in the Triangle."
Jennings has several potential projects in the works, including ideas for restaurants in Cary, Raleigh, Southern Pines, Tampa, Fla., Atlanta and Denver. Each project's fate, however, depends on how the others come together.
"Because of our limited funds, if something happens, it will knock out another project," Jennings said. "We will see what comes together and scrap others."
Porter's opened in 2003, and aimed to serve professors and professionals who wanted a high-end meal in a university center surrounded by low-end eateries. The menu included foods such as coriander spiced tuna, roasted chicken and filet mignon.
"The Irish pub that's coming in will backfill Porter's," Jennings said.
McDaid's is at 2412 Hillsborough St.
Raleigh's Berkeley Cafe is shutting down this fall, but not for good. The venerable downtown restaurant will close Oct. 1 for a three-month period of renovations.
"We're doing a massive upgrade," owner John Blomquist said Thursday. "New ceilings, floors, tables, chairs, equipment, bathrooms, patio out back and a bigger kitchen. It will probably be a good $100,000 to do all this."
Reopening is tentatively set for Jan. 6. Meantime, the Berkeley will still be a venue during September's Hopscotch music festival. Blomquist is also donating 15 percent of September sales to a melanoma research fund, the Amanda Wall-Corey Haddon Memorial Walk.
Jibarra, known for its empanadas, guacamole and tacos, will close its doors Sunday night and reopen Sept. 2 as Jose and Sons, a Mexican restaurant with a Southern twist.
"It will be Southern-inspired Mexican food that's oriented around our upbringing," co-owner Charlie Ibarra said about his family's restaurant.
Ibarra also hopes the new concept will be a good fit in the expanding downtown Raleigh community. Jibarra first opened in North Raleigh seven years ago and moved to the Raleigh Depot in 2008.
"Jose and Sons will be a more appropriate concept (now that downtown) is much more neighborhood and community oriented," Ibarra said.
Jose and Sons will offer dishes such as shrimp and grits made from masa, homemade cheeses, poblano pepper cornbread, chicharron and waffles and chile rellenos filled with local market-sourced ingredients. The restaurant will keep some of Jibarra's menu items, including its seasonal guacamole.
Ibarra hopes to use fresh ingredients in drinks that include citrus cocktails and an "Ole' Fashioned."
Jose and Sons will partner with other area businesses to create items for its menu. Videri Chocolate Factory is providing homemade mocha bitters and neighboring craft beer store Tasty Beverage is adding a few of its favorite beers to Jose's menu each month.
Jose and Sons is at 327 W. Davie St., Suite 102.

Something wicked this way comes . . . and it keeps coming and coming and coming. . . .
William Shakespeare was one of history's greatest writers, a master of words with a body of work that is truly impressive . . . some may say a little too impressive for a single man to accomplish in one lifetime. Perhaps, as many have speculated, he had assistance. Or perhaps the explanation is more . . . unusual.
Who was William Shakespeare?
Who was the Dark Lady of the Sonnets?
Why are the undead stalking the alleyways of London?
And can they be stopped?
Something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark.
So brace yourself for a wild ride through twisted streets and shadowed graveyards of Elizabethan London, where you'll discover how the Bard got his Bite.

"Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't."
Hamlet (Act II, Scene II)
London, Autumn-1592
What was left of the man shambled into the dark alley, and I followed. I had little choice.
I am a chasseur, a hunter. What I hunt are those whose souls are controlled by another. I call them the tibonage.

North Star named Jim Livingston as its head football coach during the district's school board of directors meeting on Tuesday night.
A 1996 North Star graduate and former football player, Livingston spent more than a decade coaching the Cougars' junior high team, including four seasons as a successful head junior high coach.
Last season, he was the varsity quarterbacks coach under Stacy Schmitt, who announced his retirement last month.
"Our No. 1 goal is to win a District 5 championship, just as it is any other year," said Livingston, who turns 38 later this month. "We want to continue the winning ways. Stacy really turned the program around at the school."
Schmitt had a 78-45 record and four District 5 championships during 11 seasons coaching the Cougars football program, which had only three winning seasons in the 29 years prior to his taking the head coach position in 2003.
"Jim is very offensive-minded," said Schmitt, who remains North Star's athletic director. "I think that will be his strong suit here at North Star."
Schmitt said Livingston also brings hometown intangibles to the position.
"He's very active in the community – the fire company, every charity you could imagine in the community," Schmitt said.
"Jim's very well-respected. I think it will benefit the program that he can reach out to every level from the elementary all the way up to the varsity."
Livingston will coach many of the players he mentored during his tenure with the junior high program and last season as quarterbacks coach.
He led the Cougars junior high program to multiple undefeated records, according to Schmitt.
"We like to run a little bit of everything," Livingston said. "My main philosophy is to make the defense adjust to you. You don't adjust to the defense. We'll run different sets. We did it throughout junior high. We'll run spreads, option, triple option, especially with the group coming up through. There are a bunch of athletes.
"I've been pretty lucky. I've had the opportunity to coach both the Strasiser brothers (Max and Tony), Brantley Rice and a bunch of good athletes coming through here the last few years."

Original recipe yields 24 servings
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place rack in the lowest position of the oven.
- Remove the turkey neck and giblets, rinse the turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in the roasting pan. Loosely fill the body cavity with stuffing. Rub the skin with the softened butter, and season with salt and pepper. Position an aluminum foil tent over the turkey.
- Place turkey in the oven, and pour 2 cups turkey stock into the bottom of the roasting pan. Baste all over every 30 minutes with the juices on the bottom of the pan. Whenever the drippings evaporate, add stock to moisten them, about 1 to 2 cups at a time. Remove aluminum foil after 2 1/2 hours. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the meaty part of the thigh reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C), about 4 hours.
- Transfer the turkey to a large serving platter, and let it stand for at least 20 to 30 minutes before carving.

This is the turkey recipe I used when I roasted my first-ever 19lb bird three years ago. It turned out perfectly then and has every year since. My version calls for placing the turkey on a v-shaped rack in the roasting pan. This allows air to circulate under the bird and should address any issues related to the bottom not cooking as thoroughly as the top or being soggy. I have never had to turn the bird over. Other hints: truss the wings under the bird with baking string or wrap in aluminum foil to keep from over-browning. For the rest of the turkey, I place the aluminum foil tightly over the breast-portion only. Then, I remove the foil on the breast 1 hour before the bird is done (my 19lb birds, stuffed, tend to roast in about 5 hours, so I remove at the 4 hour mark). The breast is always beautifully brown and not overdone; very juicy! Baste as directed (every 30 minutes) with turkey or chicken stock. When you check the temperature, be sure you're not hitting the bone; keep it in the fleshy part of the thigh meat. I also check the internal temperature of the stuffing to ensure it's at 160. Standing time is *important.* I rest mine at least 30 minutes, up to 45. It won't get cold--keeps it juicy! I use good quality boxed or homemade chicken stock instead of turkey stock. This is such an easy recipe. You don't need to over-think it or second-guess it. It's worked for me every single time. And...the drippings make delicious pan gravy! Enjoy!

I used this recipe for our Thanksgiving turkey and my family loved it! I put 1/4 cup of butter between the breast meat and the skin, then after each basting I brushed the entire turkey with melted butter. Not the greatest method for calorie counting, but I've never had a turkey so moist. It was incredible!
OH MY GOSH... what a shock to see *my* secret recipe on the internet... lol. I've always done my turkey mostly this way. I also put butter under the skin as some reviewers do... and use chicken broth. Oh!! and big ol chunks of onions and celery around, under and in the bird. But (I don't recommend this method) I put my bird in on 250 degrees late late Wednesday night... don't baste at all, get up early and remove foil, baste REALLY well, turn up the heat to 375 until brown, basting often. Always excellent!! Frees up my oven, we wake up to the smell of *Thanksgiving* and it really sets a great mood for the day. Have done this for years!!

Draft history is loaded with tales of teams surprising even those whom they select.
Such is Kevin Butler's story. Let's turn back the clock to 1985. Butler, then a highly regarded placekicking prospect from Georgia, expected the Bills or Dolphins to draft him. Instead, the Bears, who already had an established placekicker in Bob Thomas, took him, and in Round Four, earlier than Butler expected.
"Wow, they're just wanting me to push this veteran," Butler thought at the time.
Ultimately, Butler won the job for a team that would go on to win the Super Bowl in his first NFL season. And he learned a lesson about teams and their draft picks.
"Teams don't use draft picks to push people," Butler said. "They use them with the expectation that you can certainly contribute."
One round before Butler was selected in 1985, the Rams selected Clemson P Dale Hatcher. The Buccaneers took Hatcher's college teammate, PK Donald Igwebuike, in Round 10. No punter-placekicker tandems from the same school have been selected in the same draft since.
But that could change later this week. Georgia P Drew Butler, Kevin Butler's son, is PFW's top-rated player at his position, and he stands a reasonable chance to be drafted. Likewise, Georgia PK Blair Walsh sits atop PFW's position rankings. Butler, according to PFW's 2012 Draft Preview, could go in Rounds Five or Six, with Walsh potentially coming off the board in Rounds Six or Seven.
Butler, who captured the Ray Guy Award as college football's top punter in 2009, averaged 44.2 yards on 58 punts as a senior. The right-footed Butler, personnel analyst Nolan Nawrocki wrote in PFW's 2012 Draft Preview, is a "(s)trong-legged, consistent, pedigreed, polished punter" who is "pro-ready, worthy of a draft pick and should have longetivity like his father."
Kevin Butler, who played 13 NFL seasons, believes Drew's all-around game, including his leg strength and directional kicking, will serve him well.
"He's an efficient kicker," Kevin Butler said. "As a punter goes, you have to be efficient."
Drew Butler is confident he can kick at the next level.
"I know my talent and my technique will translate well," he said.
He also knows he's fortunate to have his father as a resource.
"He's walked (in) these shoes, and he understands what it takes to be successful at the next level," Drew Butler said.
Walsh, like Drew Butler, had great success early in his collegiate career. Walsh earned Georgia's PK job as a true freshman, and as a sophomore, he connected on 20-of-22 field-goal attempts. The following season, he connected on 20-of-23 FG attempts. But as a senior, Walsh struggled, hitting just 21 field goals in 35 tries.
Kevin Butler, who's part of the radio broadcast team for Georgia games, saw first-hand as Walsh worked to recapture his best form. Walsh's problems, the elder Butler said, were a case of someone who badly wanted to do well for his teammates.
"I started pressing a little too much," Walsh admitted.
Georgia head coach Mark Richt believes Walsh's body of work and talent will get him an NFL shot — and that he will make the most of it.
"The guy is just so strong fundamentally and so strong physically," Richt said in March. "Somebody's going to be real excited about him, and he's going to get back on the track he had his sophomore and junior year, which was phenomenal, and he's going to be a great pro for a long time, I believe."
Walsh has NFL-caliber leg strength; he drilled 10-of-16 FG attempts of 50 yards or more, and he kicked off very well at the NFL Scouting Combine, according to Kevin Butler. Like Drew Butler, Walsh went through a handful of private workouts for NFL clubs.
Walsh doesn't duck questions about his final season in Athens, but he is understandably ready to turn the page.
"I've moved on, and I'm ready to go," he said.
It is now all over but the waiting for Walsh and Butler. If their phones ring during the draft, it likely will be on Saturday, when Rounds 4-7 are held. Each will play golf to pass the time on Saturday — Walsh with his sister, who will play golf for UGA next year; and Butler with his father.
Kevin Butler expects Drew to be drafted. He notes that a pair of former Bears teammates — Ron Rivera in Carolina and Jeff Fisher in St. Louis — could be adding punters.
By the same token, Kevin Butler wants to prepare his son for the prospect of going undrafted.
"That's the life of a kicker," Kevin Butler said of such uncertainty. "Welcome to the kicker fraternity."
It's an exclusive club, one with no legacy bids. So if Drew Butler's cell phone rings on Saturday, he will have earned it. And should that call come in the final four rounds, it won't be an offer to be a camp leg.
His father can tell him a thing or two about that.

The Town of Salina will be offering free animal registration throughout the month of April, according to Animal Control Officer Josh Davis.
Davis submitted a request to the town Board of Trustees at their March meeting asking for the fee waiver. The motion was approved.
In the written request, Davis, who has worked part-time for the town for over a year, said he has found the town ordinances on animal control difficult to enforce.
"Unregistered animals are a concern, a violation of city ordinance, and can be difficult to enforce, especially for indoor animals that are rarely seen outside," Davis wrote. "By animals not being registered, (I) cannot verify that shots are current for the animal, as well as it makes it difficult to prove ownership of the animal if (it's) running at large."
Davis said the town has ordinances to cover all of these issues, and are helpful when residents understand them and do their part to comply.
"As per Salina City Ordinances for Animal Control / Domestic Animals: All domestic animals are required to be registered (4-122); all domestic animals are required to be vaccinated for rabies (4-121) and all domestic animals are required to be in a fenced yard/pen/or on a leash unless the animal is kept inside (4-102, 4-103)," Davis said.
Citizens can view a complete listing of city ordinances regarding animal control issues by requesting it from Davis.
"All current city animal tags are considered to be expired on May 1," Davis said. "We are issuing new tags that have tag numbers of 200 or higher, so beginning May 1, all animal tags that are lower than 200 will be considered to be expired."
Davis hopes to use the month of April to update animal records as well as educate pet owners as to the ordinances relating to pet ownership.
To obtain a city tag for a domestic animal, or to renew a current tag, pet owners can go to city hall during normal business hours Monday through Friday from
8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"Any on duty police officer or an employee at city hall can take your basic information and pass that information on to me," Davis said, adding that he will then contact pet owners and arrange for the registration. Citizens can contact city hall at (918) 434-5026.
"The only thing that will be required for free registration is proof of a current rabies vaccination," Davis said. "Please take advantage of this offer so that when animal control enforcement begins on May 1, it will have little effect on you and your pets."

When Lake Forest Park Police Detective Tony Matthews created the Website CanYouId.me in 2010 to enable Washington Law Enforcement to seek tips directly from the public, he might not have predicted the popularity or success of the site.
To date, 57 of the hundreds of suspects appearing on the site have been apprehended, and 167 officers from nearly 50 Washington Law Enforcement agencies utilize the site, which also works closely with Washington's Most Wanted. Edmonds Police are among those who take advantage of the free online resource.
Now, the department has added the ultimate social tool to its arsenal to help officers reach even more citizens with photos of suspected thieves, robbers, and vehicles suspected in hit-and-run accidents-- Facebook.
Now to get the scoop on wanted criminal suspects from Marysville to Arlington, instead having to go to the site every time you want to see what's new, you can "Like" CanYouId.me on Facebook.
Matthews unveiled the new Facebook page to the Lake Forest Park City Council last Thursday evening, and started populating it with content on Monday.
The site itself is pretty self-supporting, Matthews said. Law enforcement officers post their own photos on open cases--often security camera footage--and remove the photos if a suspect is identified for questioning. Sometimes a photo of a potential witness to a crime is posted as well to help police locate them. LFP Police covers the minimal web hosting costs.
Matthews said that there's been some interest in a property identification site, which could come in the future as resources allow, though there's no current plan by LFP to develop such a site. He said law enforcement often has a really difficult time finding the owners of recovered property.
Have you ever been able to help law enforcement out with an identification? Tell us in the comments.

Gary was a graduate of the Whitehall school system and a member of Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church.
He worked for E.B. Metal Products for many, many years.
Gary was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying his motorcycle and snowmobile as well as four-wheeling. Playing cards with his cousin, Bobby and his wife Theresa, was a joy.

Austin and his wife Karen of Ticonderoga; a daughter, Michelle Hilbert of Crown Point; two sisters, Gail Dickinson and Shirley LaChapelle and her husband Perley (Butch); four grandchildren, Brandon Austin and Kylie Austin, Josh Hilbert and Amanda Hilbert; great-grandson, Karsen Austin; two stepgranddaughters, Kendra Mango and Karissa Cook; seven stepgrandchildren and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Family and friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, at the Jillson Funeral Home, Inc., 46 Williams St., Whitehall, NY. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, at Our Lady of Hope Roman Catholic Church, 9 Wheeler Ave., Whitehall, with Rev. Terence Healy, officiating.

The family would like to thank Pattie Carpentier, a very special friend for many years, for her constant love and support and her comforting care. We would also like to thank High Peaks Hospice for their guidance and support.
Expressions of sympathy may take the form of a donation in Gary's memory to Our Lady of Hope Roman Catholic Church, 6 Wheeler Avenue, Whitehall, NY 12887.

Last week, a seventh teen was arrested in connection with the fight between 30 high school and college students at Lake Nanuet on Saturday, Jan. 12.
Four teens from Pearl River and Nanuet were injured in the fight during which baseball bats and a knife were used and were taken to the hospital.
According to police, the brawl involved 30 male teens, aged 17 and 18, from Clarkstown North and Nanuet high schools. Police have filed charges including attempted gang assault, assault and criminal possession of a weapon against the seven youths from New City and Congers.
The males arrested in regards to the Lake Nanuet incident who were charged with felonies are as follows:
- Anthony Walsh, 17, New City (Attempted gang assault 1st, assault 2, and assault 3rd)
- Troy Kay, 18, New City (Attempted gang assault 1st, assault 2, and assault 3rd)
- Edward Ruckel, 17, Congers (Attempted gang assault 1st, assault 2, and assault 3rd)
- Nicholas Termine, 18, Congers (assault 2nd, assault 3rd)
- Anthony Termine, 17, Congers (assault 2nd, assault 3rd)
Jo Anne Fratianni of the Clarkstown Police Department said that since the other two arrested were only for misdemeanors, nothing can be released on them.
- 18, New City, assault 3rd
- 17, New City, criminal possession of a weapon 4th
Their court date is Wednesday, Jan. 30 in Clarkstown Justice Court in front of Judge Rolf Thorsen. Kay, his parents and an attorney appeared for the 9:30 a.m. hearing. The rest appeared later in the day because of school. The court said that all pleaded not guilty and are scheduled to be back in Clarkstown Justice Court March 27.

Valeri Nichushkin
Position: Right wing
Foreign team: Chelyabinsk (KHL)
Born: Chelyabinsk, Russia
Measurables: 6-foot-3, 196 pounds
2012-13 stats: 18 games, 4 goals, 2 assists, 6 points
Central Scouting rank: No. 2 (European)
Lowdown: So how can a guy with pedestrian stats and a reputation for inconsistency make his way into consideration for the first overall pick? Pure, unadulterated talent. Nichushkin is a slick-skating big man who has the ability to make defensemen look as if they're standing still. Few players in the draft can match his skating ability, especially in one-on-one situations, where he also uses his long reach to get around goaltenders. The combination of size, speed and a passion for heading toward the net amazes scouts.
The 18-year-old played at three levels in Russia this season: junior, second division and the Kontinental Hockey League. He had six goals and nine points in 25 playoff games with Chelyabinsk, which traded him to Moscow Dynamo after the season.
That's where the red flags come in. He's tried to convince folks that he really wants to play in the NHL next season, but the KHL paycheck waves in the background. Nichushkin added he will skate only in the NHL or KHL; the AHL is not an option. He had just one goal and two points in six games at the world junior championships.
They said it: "When Nichushkin is at his best, he's by far better than Barkov, but he's not always at his best. He's a big, strong player with a high overall skill set. He can score the big goals and can dominate games." – Goran Stubb, NHL director of European scouting, to NHL.com while comparing Nichushkin to top-rated European skater Aleksander Barkov.
