Palmyra-Macedon senior Katharine Dix is hoping to make a difference.
Dix will spend five days living on only $1.50 worth of food a day to raise money for UNICEF through the Live Below the Line Campaign. The idea is for Dix to be one of thousands around the world living below the poverty line from April 28 through May 2.
According to the World Bank, an estimated 1.4 billion people on earth live below the extreme global poverty level, which is the equivalent of $1.50 per day in the United States.
�I am doing this to raise awareness about poverty around the globe,� she said, adding that it�s also personal. �I�m doing it for me, for things I believe in.�
Dix, 18, of Palmyra,�learned about the campaign online from �Avengers� star Tom Hiddleston, who was also taking part in the challenge. She said she researched the campaign and it seemed �doable.� More importantly, it�s a cause she believes in.
�Working with third world countries, and making the world a better place overall, is what I want to spend the rest of my life doing,� Dix said. �Interning with the United Nations Association of Rochester has opened my eyes and made me want to do more good in the world. As of now, I can only do so much to change the world.�
Dix plans to attend Monmouth University in New Jersey next year to major in political science with a concentration in international relations. Right now, her internship with the UN Association of Rochester has put her on the right track to helping others.
As part of her internship, Dix teaches English to refugees. For many of these people, Dix said living below the poverty line is part of everyday life. Many of them rely on donations for their basic survival.
Dix admits she�s not sure what to expect, but figures she will be eating a lot of grains, rice and bananas. Before she begins, Dix said she will head to Walmart and purchase $7.50 of food. She will then ration that food out to live on for five days.
�How much food that is for one day I honestly don�t know,� she said. �I know it�s very little.�
Dix�s efforts will be rewarded with the money she raises and donates to UNICEF. She has already surpassed her goal of $250, reaching over $300. During her journey living below the line, Dix will journal her experience in her blog, take pictures and video to share with others.

The Saints had matches against some good teams this past week and came up short.
The Saints had matches against some good teams this past week and came up short.
The Saints started out with hosting Blue Earth Area at home on Friday night. The Saints had a lot of motivation to wrestle their best. It was senior night, it was the last home meet of the year and the SCC Championship was on the line.
But it was BEA that came away with the win and the regular dual meet championship when they beat the Saints 33-22.
Saints Head Coach Gene Hildebrandt said it was the first time in some time that BEA had a stacked team.
"BEA has a good team. They just outwrestled us." Hildebrandt said. The Head Coach said many Saints fans came up after the match and said to him that it was a 'good old fashioned' wrestling match.
The match got off on the wrong foot as Mario Garcia lost a decision at 106 lbs. Hildebrandt was hoping for a win at 106 as that would have likely cemented a good Saints lead through the lower weights.
As the match played out, the Saints still wrestled well in the lower weights and got out to a 15-3 lead.
Angel Zamarripa got a one point win at 113 lbs. by an 8-7 score. In his last dual meet home match, a very motivated senior Cody Hanson got a pin in 1:27 of the first period. He pointed up to the crowd after recording the fall.
Two more seniors got decisions at 126 and 132. Richy Soto got a 6-3 win and that was followed by Isaac Carreon eeking out a 2-0 win.
BEA came back and racked up 21 team points to bolt out to a 24-15 lead before the Saints had another win.
The Saints lost four point major decisions at 138 and 145. Mark Alvarado lost at 138 by a score of 9-1 and Kody Curry lost by an 11-3 score at 145 lbs.
Major decisions are awarded when a wrestler has at least eight points in a match, so these two back to back eight point wins gave BEA two additional team points.
Zack Gleiter lost a tough match at 152 lbs. by a score of 9-5. At 160 lbs. the Saints Carlos Marquez lost by a technical fall at 160 lbs. This pushed BEA into the lead by a 19-15 score.
The Saints Colin Hoppe also lost by a technical fall and BEA added another five team points.
Ryan Westman got the Saints back in the winning column at 182 lbs with a 12-2 major decision.
Trailing 24-19 the Saints had a shot at winning the match and the conference championship if they could win out.
Devin Wolle, who has been wrestling in three different weight classes this year, stepped up into 195 and took on a tough Kysten Zierke.
Wolle was taken down in the last fifteen seconds of the first period, but managed to escape with two seconds remaining to trail 2-1 at the end of period one.
Wrestling from the down position, he escaped late in the second period to tie it up at two at the end of two.
Wolle controlled his opponent through the first minute of the third period, but Zierke escaped and Wolle made a risky attempt to prevent the escape. That resulted in a takedown by the Buccanneer and the BEA wrestle put Wolle on his back for two more points and a 7-2 decision.
A decision and a pin at the last two weights could still give the Saints the championship. It was up to brothers Adrian Torres at 220 and Victor Torres at HWT.
Adrian dominated his man at 220 and had a 3-0 in the third period. Adrian made a high risk move going for a pin and was instead put on his back and pinned. He deserves credit for not playing it safe.
Victor won the HWT match by a 6-3 win. That gave BEA the match and the championship with a final score of 33-22.
The Saints wrestled eight seniors last Friday. BEA wrestled four seniors, so the Bucs are likely going to be a team the Saints will have to contend with next year.
On Saturday, the Saints hit the road for a triangular meet against two strong teams at Canby. Waconia was the other team at the meet.
The Saints lost to Canby 33-27. The toughest part of this loss was Isaac Carreon wrestling at 132 lbs. lost by an injury default. This gave Canby six points.
Carreon had previously pinned the Canby wrestler and had his opponent on his back when Isaac suffered a knee injury.
This default loss might have been a twelve point swing against the Saints. With the twelve points the Saints would have won the match. The injury status of Isaac is not know for certain at this time. The Saints also lost to a solid Waconia team 37-29 on Saturday.
On Tuesday night the Saints hit the road to Sibley-East and wrestled in a triangular against Sibley East and Norwood-Young America. The matches went late into the night. At deadline the Plaindealer had the team scores. The Saints split beating NYA by a score of 57-9. The Saints fell to Sibley East 39-19.
For the week the Saints were 1-4. However, the toughest loss of the week might be the one to Isaac Carreon, who went to state last year, if his injury proves to be serious.

Well not exactly, porridge- but my favorite cereal in the whole wide world- LUCKY CHARMS! Tastes so good when it's a bit soft with really cold milk. I hate crunchy cereal so I let it sit in the milk for a few minutes and mmmm yummy! I love it so much I took a picture of it before it got devoured. :)
Anne was wonderful to come over last weekend and help me clean my makeup chaotic vanity. There were just boxes and trays full of stuff. She is really good at cleaning and organizing things and really helped me sort all the junk out in terms of what I use and don't use, and only now do I realize how much crap I actually have and yet I have a bad habit of continuously buying things! (Ugh I need to stop that manic cycle and put my money towards something more useful.) At the end of the night, there were 3 FULL BOXES of things for me to sell! So I will be posting them here SOON (as the store cart on the new site is broken right now), but thank you Anne for helping me clean! Even the BF was like "Wow she is a really good friend if she helped you clean that up, Im your BF and even I wouldn't do that" LOL. He knows how much makeup he "swims in" living with me.
Anyway, I went to Joann's Craft Store last Sunday because they have better storage products (and selection) than Michael's, and lucky for me they had a 4th of July sale where it was 50% OFF on ALL their storage items. I ended up buying the storage cabinet from ArtBin (which btw, I LOVE ArtBin! I use their products to store all my art supplies). It was originally $40, and I bought it for $20! It is the total solution to store all my pigments jars and samples, from eyeshadows, blushes to mineral foundations, it stores a lot of the items I have just laying around.
It is completely covered on all 4 sides and comes with a handle for easy transport and travel. Only one side comes off (like a lid), I purposely keep it off for easy access to my things...
The individual plastic storage trays, of course I labeled them according to its contents since I like labeling everything, LOL.
Comes with removable plastic dividers so that you can organize everything...(Yes I will do a NAIL TUTORIAL soon!)
Some mineral blushes & bronzers:
Sample Mineral Foundations and Concealers:
I first put it on my vanity but ended up moving it somewhere else later on. Some of you asked where I got my vanity, I had it imported, my parents were moving to Washington and they ended up getting furniture for their new house at some warehouse (I don't know the name and mom doesn't remember) and my sister bought one for her room (yes we have matching vanity's and she hates this fact, lol), and at the time I too was moving to a new house and was looking for a dresser of some sort, and my mom showed me a pic of my sister's and I liked it, but when she called the Warehouse they didn't have it anymore, so they had the actual manufacturer ship it to me (took forever since they had to import it from somewhere), and I paid about $400 for it including shipping...it came partially assembled already so it was worth it, and the mirror I bought from them also, it was sold separately but that was in the price...
I can even store some of my MAC Pigments, which is cool for traveling or whatnot, I went from this:
To this:
As we were cleaning, I found this OLD, way back in the day pic of me and the BF, it's my favorite pic since it's so candid, we went to this photo booth in Diamond Bar and we didn't know that the pic was being taken since the light didn't turn on and I was telling him to get ready and he was trying to kiss me but I knew it would go off any second, and sure enough it did!

hei! my aunt is coming here in august! she lives in LA. not sure exactly where. so if you want some stuff, tell me, tell me, so when she gets back there, you can pick it up or i can have it sent to your house. :) no need to pay as long as i can find it. :)
the visa will probably take a long time since the embassy here is pretty much tough coz of a lot of illegal aliens and other stuff.. :) and takes a lot of money to process. it may take a year if i'm unlucky.. sigh!

I looove the storage :D And the nails, and the Lucky Charms. We don't get them here in the UK anymore. I remember having a Lucky Charms mug as a kid that had a 'hidden' picture that only showed when you had a hot drink. Maybe I need to try storing my piggies like that. I love my stacking jars but the pigments keep leaking into the threads of the screw part and I lose some every time I open them :(

I've used "Christian" cosmetic and brow kit/stencils. They have so many colors to choose from, since us women are always changing our hair color. Their kits include one color with brush and three stencils (thick, thin and natural). And also @ Sally's there are stencils that are like stickers and they stick on so applying the powder is SO EASY. Check it out!

The answer is Yes, the Airwalk takes AGD Spec triggers.Originally Posted by Smoothice
Trigger's done, let me know where to send it.
Same for me with the marker. just need to know where and it will be off
I wii donate one of my pump mag kits to add to a gun or just for the parts raffle.
Maghog & hill- it would be best if you guys shipped to Loguzzzzzz. I'll get you his addy or have him get it to you.
Xm15- that's great! With all the extra parts we will either build a Pumpmag or raffle it separately. I will pm you my addy.
Got the address. i will PM him and let him know its on the way.
Still need a sear and pin?
Unless Loguzzzzzz has a nicer rail I will throw in my venomous designs prototype toxic rail courtesy of venemous designs!Originally Posted by SSP REAPER
So send a rt sear and pin!
I was planning to use a ULE Emag rail that is raw polished. I think that the V-D rail is nicer but that is up to you! Either way, as Smoothice has stated, send me an RT sear and axle.Originally Posted by Smoothice
Any idea what the anno on the airwalk is? The ule body is black. We'll have to see the colors before choosing the rail.Originally Posted by Loguzzzzzz
It has a dust black powder coat, I recived it that way from the original owner. The 15* and foregrip are gloss blackOriginally Posted by Smoothice
I have received the valve and the MiniPneuMag from hill160881. Thanks for the generous contribution!
Loguzzzz, PM me your mailing address and I'll send out the trigger.
Wish I had some stuff to donate, sold pretty much all my mag parts off.
Someone should donate a sick anno job on these parts, maybe a dust anno so the parts don't need to be polished and what not. (and I've always been partial to dust anno )
wish I could...
not enough time unfortunately.
PM incoming.Originally Posted by Maghog
Haven't gotten a chance to send the marker yet. It will be in the mail tomorrow
Is a sear still needed? I think I have a RT Pro sear laying around (no pin though)... lmk if you need it to finish this build. Also I might have a spare asa or rail or something if any other finishing bits are needed (air fittings etc.).
This is a great project!
When and where is the auction/raffle? I could donate some SS braid if needed.
You guys are all nuts! But in a good way. Very very generous of all of you guys!
The Triggernomics trigger arrived today and it is as beautiful as you all know is would be!
Big Thanks to Maghog for the wonderful goodie!
I am still waiting on a few pieces.
Just a friendly reminder that I need a little time to complete the build and test it!
John I will ship tomorrow. Which valve are we going with?

Ozioma Okonkwo, a native of Imo State, Nigeria, is one of many international graduate students who attend UAB. He is currently completing a year of internship in the Dementia Clinical Research program at Brown Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island. He is working on a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Neuropsychology here at UAB. The internship is Ozioma's final requirement for graduation.
Ozioma studies the process by which neuropathological alterations lead to cognitive impairment which, in turn, leads to restrictions in the ability to perform everyday activities, such as driving and financial management, among persons with mild cognitive impairment, the clinical prodrome for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. He is also interested in understanding the relationship between cardiovascular health and cognition among older adults.
Ozioma put a lot of thought into choosing UAB for his graduate studies. He explains, "When I first began considering a PhD in Clinical Psychology, specializing in Neuropsychology, my primary interest was in working with persons who had experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Dr. Tom Novack of the UAB Spain Rehabilitation Center is arguably the foremost TBI neuropsychologist in the country, and I wanted to have the opportunity to work with and learn from the best. In addition, UAB's Medical/Clinical Psychology program provides opportunities for students to be mentored by faculty in departments as diverse as maternal and child health, neurology, epidemiology, biomedical engineering, nursing, physical medicine, rheumatology, ophthalmology, and biostatistics to mention a few. This multidisciplinary character of the program suited my personality and my vision of/approach to science."
While at UAB, Ozioma considers his most rewarding experience to be the opportunity to collaborate on a diverse assortment of research projects, ranging from neurometabolic correlates of functional abilities in mild cognitive impairment to quality of life in stroke patients. His influences here at UAB have been numerous, adding, "It is difficult to identify any one person who had the greatest influence on me. A number of individuals influenced me in different ways. To name a few, they include (in alphabetical order) Drs Karlene Ball, James Banos, Paul Blanton, Ed Cook, Elizabeth Griffith, Randall Griffith, Celia Huston, Daniel Marson, Dan Marullo, Tom Novack, David Roth, Hal Thurstin, David Vance, and my esteemed graduate advisor, Virginia Wadley." (A list of honors and awards Ozioma has received while at UAB is located at the end of this article.)
Motivation and support are key components of academic studies, especially in graduate school. Ozioma's motivation comes from a desire to seek answers to those questions that are yet to be considered by other scientists, and to find novel ways of addressing those that have been asked. His wife, Renata, and son, Chidubem, have also been very supportive in his academic pursuits.
After his expected graduation in Summer 2009, Ozioma plans to continue refining his research and clinical interests in mild cognitive impairment and dementia.
Ozioma's Advice to Other Graduate Students:
Be willing to share whatever knowledge you have with your peers. In the process, that knowledge grows exponentially. Do not shrink from asking "difficult" questions. They provide a unique platform for learning. Likewise, do not be deterred by "accusations" (implicit or explicit) of wanting to know too much. There is no such thing!

Life was good. I had been on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten less than four hours and my winter "big hair" problem had almost completely disappeared thanks to tropical humidity. As I slowly buried my toes deep in the powdery white sand of Mullet Bay beach and watched the cerulean blue surf gently lap the shoreline, I realized that this spot pretty much filled all my criteria for an island paradise.
There are 37 beaches on this tiny island, but a tip from a friendly local had led me to this one. The gentle surf and brilliant blue water of the bay are ideal for swimming, and the coconut palms and sea grape trees bordering the white sand provide the perfect shade to enjoy a picnic or to relax with a good book. While the rest of the tourists crowded around the more popular clothing-optional Orient Beach on the opposite side of the island, I was fortunate to enjoy a little peace and quiet in a place frequented mostly by locals.
St. Maarten is a 63-square-km island that has a multitude of offerings when it comes to beaches, restaurants and recreational activities.
It is as multicultural a place as you'll find anywhere, because the French and the Netherlands share a border on this tiny island, making it the smallest land mass divided by two sovereign nations in the world.
There are more than a hundred nationalities on the island. What this means for visitors is that Sint Maarten, as they call it on the Dutch side, or Saint Martin in French, has something for everyone.
I spent a few days living like a local to gain insight into this Caribbean paradise. Here are a few recommendations:
Life's a beach
St. Maarten/St. Martin is famous for its tranquil blue waters and caramel sand beaches. On any given day, you will see cruise ships and luxury yachts moored off the shore of this island, which boasts 37 of the best beaches in the Caribbean. There are beaches for swimming, snorkelling, walking, jogging, partying or people watching, and searching for the right beach can be a great way to spend your vacation.
Mullet Bay: This favourite local beach on the Dutch side of the island is easily accessible and borders the only 18-hole golf course on the island. Enjoy gentle surf, powdery white sand, and the shade of sea grape trees and coconut palms.
Friar's Bay: A family-oriented beach during the day as well as a popular nightspot. There are three beach restaurants that have theme nights and live-music evenings and legendary full-moon parties. North of the French capital, Marigot, it must be reached overland through Cripple Creek.
Dawn Beach: The snorkelling is incredible at Dawn Beach on the reef just off shore. The beach has soft white sand, good shade nearby and a view of St. Barth in the distance. On the east side of Dutch Sint Maarten, it is a little out of the way, but worth a visit. Be sure to visit Mr. Busby's Beach Bar, where beer is only 75 cents.
Orient Beach: This is probably the most popular beach with tourists, and it is also the island's only official "naturist" or clothing-optional beach. There are more than a dozen restaurants and a number of bars that line this stretch and it is the place to go if you want to kite surf and do other water sports.
Dining out
Billed as the Dining Capital of the Caribbean, it's almost a crime to go all-inclusive on this island. There are more than 350 restaurants and cuisine ranges from Vietnamese to Creole.
Johnny Under the Tree BBQ: This funky outdoor barbecue restaurant features picnic tables under a tree in Cole Bay. For under $10 US (all prices in US dollars), you can enjoy fresh grilled lobster, baby back ribs and barbecue chicken with traditional beans and rice. Don't forget to ask for a Johnnycake to go with your meal.
Antoine's: This restaurant is located by the sea and serves up fine sophisticated cuisine on the Dutch side of the island. It boasts an impressive wine list and the service is outstanding. Dinner entrees average $25-$35 each and the service is first-class. (Phone: 599/54-22964)
La Vie en Rose: This French restaurant is appropriately located on the French side of the island and offers classic French cuisine with Caribbean overtones. Dinners are elaborate and service and presentation are exceptional. The mango soup is a must-try item. Dinner entrees range from $24-$44. (Phone: 599/87-54-42)
Golf: Mullet Bay Golf Course (Phone: 599/545-3069) is the only 18-hole championship course on the island. It is located on the Dutch side near Mullet Bay beach. A hurricane damaged the on-site hotel, but the course is still maintained and offers club rentals and a pro shop. It will cost about $100 for 18 holes, including a cart.
Hiking and biking: Tri-Sport rentals (Phone: 599/545-4384) offers bike rentals, maps and directions for several local trails. There is a vast network of hiking trails on the island.
Deep-sea fishing: There are a number of businesses that offer deep-sea fishing. Try Lee's Deep Sea Fishing (599-544-4233). You can have your catch cooked at Lee's Road Side Grill.
If You Go:
- St. Maarten enjoys an average temperature of 27 C year-round.
- It is easiest to get to
St. Maarten through Toronto. A seven-night return airfare and hotel package from Toronto will start at $1,450 Cdn depending on the dates of travel. Contact your travel agent for pricing for your dates.
- For information on Dutch
St. Maarten, call the
St. Maarten Tourist Office at
1-416-622-4300, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the website at www.st-maarten.com. For information on French St. Martin, visit: www.st-martin.org or call 877/956-1234.
- From St. Maarten, it is easy to catch a ferry to neighbouring Caribbean islands only five minutes to an hour away, such as Pinel, Anguilla, Saba and
St. Barth, for a divine daytrip.

Gay Men Say Man Assaulted Them at Movie Theater
A group of young gay men from Lafayette, La., say they were verbally and physically assaulted in a movie theater because of their sexual orientation, the city's newspaper the Advertiser reports.
On Sunday, the men went to see the new comedy starring Barbara Streisand, "Guilt Trip," but were attacked during the movie's previews. Walt Jamison, 23, said when he, his partner and two of his openly gay friends sat down, a man sitting in the row behind them said, "Oh great," and began to spew anti-gay rhetoric.
One of the friends confronted Joseph Menard Jr., 37. When he asked, "Excuse me?" in a non-threatening tone, Menard "stood up and leaned over us and started screaming hate slurs peppered with profanities," Jamison told the newspaper. Jamison went on to say that Menard then "sat down and stood back up and popped my partner in the back of the head," and that Menard, who was with his wife and child, also struck Jamison.
Menard and his family then left the theater but Layette police tracked them down and arrested Menard on simple battery charges. According to the affidavit for his arrest, the local authorities noted the verbal alteration was about the men's "sexual preference." Menard's wife, Carissa Lynn Menard, 31, was charged with resisting arrest.
One of Jamison's friends asked police why Menard wasn't being charged with a hate crime but the officer could not give a response. Louisiana is one of the few southern states that has hate crime laws that protect individuals based on sexual orientation. (It does not cover gender identity.)
A police spokesman admitted that he wasn't sure why Menard was not charged with a hate crime but added that the anti-gay slurs were written in the police report.
""We are shocked and appalled that the incident occurred," Jamison told EDGE.
"Differences between people do not provide reasons or excuses for violent action of any kind."
He went to mention that the response to the incident has "been overwhelmingly positive. Not a single publicly available Facebook, or other social media, post or comment, that I have seen, has defended Menard's actions," Jamison said.
He added that he has not experienced any repercussions from Menard's friends or family. Still, he told EDGE that he and his partner are preparing themselves; he and said they bought their "first cans of mace and are looking into some self-defense lessons. We don't expect any negative backlash, based on the outpouring of love, support, and solidarity."
Jamison told EDGE that he has sought the advice of his father, a lawyer, and his father's colleagues' advice on the case.

PHILADELPHIA — Risking a collision with the Redskins' defense and with high football irony Sunday, Andy Reid finally gave the fans a wish. He authorized what could be a franchise-turning running play.
Though down 25 points and with less than two minutes left, Reid allowed his most valuable offensive player, LeSean McCoy, to run the ball. The result was a seven-yard gain, no points and McCoy in Stage 1 of concussion recovery. There are five published stages of concussion-treatment protocol.
With that, Reid's list of professional headaches reached a new stage of its own.
McCoy has not been ruled out of the Birds' next game, this Monday against the visiting Carolina Panthers. But Reid also characterized Michael Vick's recovery as in "Stage 1" Monday, and the quarterback has been inactive for the last game and a half.
Thus, the twist: As Reid steadfastly hangs onto his job, he may have to do so without both Vick and McCoy … and for the curious reason of committing to a running game, the kind his fans long have craved.
"There are a few things that you wish wouldn't happen," the Birds' coach said at the NovaCare Complex, a day after the 31-6 loss in Washington. "That obviously would be one of them."
After the game Sunday, Reid bristled, insisting he'd given McCoy the ball because he was trying to win the game. That the Eagles would have had to have scored more than three touchdowns in less than two minutes was not in Reid's public equation. By Monday, he elaborated, insisting that he was trying to keep his better players content.
"These kids want to play," Reid said. "There are two sides of this. There's the side that you ask me, 'Did you feel like they quit?' Well, no, these guys want to play. They want to win the game. They want to get better. They want to show that they're all-in. And so there's a fine line there. And then as coaches you want to make sure the guys know that you're all-in, too.
"With that, I don't regret it. It happened. Do I wish he wouldn't have been hurt? Yeah. I do wish he wouldn't have been hurt. But I don't regret that."
McCoy's carry was his 15th of the game, or about on his average of 17.7 rushing attempts. He finished with 45 yards rushing. He also had six receptions for 67 yards. McCoy was carted off FedEx Field, suggesting a heightened crisis. But Reid said Monday that it was his feeling that McCoy's situation was not as severe as Vick's.
"I don't think it is quite that, but who I am to judge it?" Reid said. "We'll know over time here. It didn't seem to be quite as bad just from where he was after the game and his response. He took a good lick there, and we've got to make sure we go through the protocol. We'll see how things go." Added Reid: "We'll just take it day by day. He's got a bit of a headache right now."
Vick was injured in the Eagles' 38-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and was replaced by Nick Foles. Foles played the entire game in Washington. Reid said Monday that Vick will be the Birds' starting quarterback should he be cleared to play Monday.
"Michael is improving with the concussion," Reid said. "He's still not at baseline so he would be considered Stage 1."

Hanley Ramirez hasn't played a whole lot this season, but when he has, he's been knocking the cover off the ball.
Ramirez singled and hit a screaming liner off the left-field foul pole for a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Giants. I'll let you determine whether Tuesday's dinger or his longball Saturday versus the Padres left the park faster.
Hanley has a hit in each of his last eight games and has gone deep four times while driving in 10 runs over that stretch. Overall, he's now batting .361 with five homers and 13 RBI over 61 at-bats this season.
With both Ramirez and Matt Kemp over their hamstring issues, Carl Crawford expected back from his before the All-Star break and Yasiel Puig setting the world on fire, a Dodgers offense that's been very disappointing this season is suddenly looking pretty formidable.
Check out Matthew Pouliot's Tuesday Chat Recap, and be sure to follow @Rotoworld_BB and @RyanPBoyer on Twitter.
Mashing Martin
Craig Gentry was placed on the disabled list over the weekend with a fractured hand, but even before the injury he was already falling out of a platoon with the red-hot Leonys Martin.
Martin entered Tuesday's game against the Yankees in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak that's seen him bat .419/.471/.516 over that stretch. He extended that streak to 10 games in his first at-bat, lining a laser into the right-field seats off of Hiroki Kuroda. In his second at-bat, he went deep again.
The Cuban defector's average is now up to .289, tying his high-water mark for the season. Martin's power/speed combo was slow to come around, as in the first 32 games he had homered just twice and was still looking for his first stolen base. Since then, he's upped his homer total to five and exploded for 12 thefts over 33 games.
Martin is hitting just .226 against southpaws this season after striking out against Boone Logan Tuesday. He's also started a game hitting higher than eighth in the order just once, though he's certainly making a case to be moved up, at least against righties. However, even if he remains towards the bottom of the lineup, he offers a nice power/speed option that could still be on your waiver wire. The 25-year-old is on pace for 11 homers and 25 steals, and it's fair to up his stolen base expectation given what he's done in that area over the last month.
Ackley in the Outfield
Franklin Gutierrez landed back in his familiar spot on the disabled list Tuesday with a strained hamstring. The Mariners called up an outfielder to take his place on the roster. His name? Dustin Ackley.
Yes, the man who not long ago was supposed to be the team's long-term answer at second base has made the move to the outfield. Of course, roaming the outfield is not totally foreign to Ackley. He played some outfield in college and was drafted as an outfielder before making the move to second.
Ackley could still see some time at second base, but with Nick Franklin playing well, most of his playing time will come in left and center field.
"He's been good," manager Eric Wedge told MLB.com of the reports from Triple-A Tacoma on Ackley's outfield defense. "He's played free and easy, he moves well, reacts well. Again, I have not seen it, but I have no hesitation to throw him out there."
Wedge added that Ackley is "going to play... we're going to get him in there." With both Gutierrez and Michael Morse on the disabled list, there should be plenty of at-bats to be had in left and center. The former No. 2 overall pick was hitting just .205/.266/.250 with one homer and one steal when he was demoted last month, but he responded with a .365/.472/.500 line with two homers at Triple-A.
Ackley is certainly capable of turning things around at the big league level, and the soon-to-come multi-position eligibility won't hurt. He's worth a shot in deeper leagues.

Asdrubal Cabrera (quad) is expected to be activated from the disabled list on Wednesday ... Sergio Santos (elbow) is hoping to be activated around the All-Star break ... Mark Teixeira (wrist) was scheduled to be examined by team doctors Tuesday and could be facing season-ending surgery ... Jason Vargas will undergo surgery this week to remove a blood clot from the area of his left armpit ... Brett Lawrie (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment on Wednesday and should be activated early next week ... Clay Buchholz (trapezius) will resume throwing from a mound on Wednesday ...

AS THOUSANDS of teenagers descended on the Gold Coast to start their schoolies celebrations on Saturday, so too did an army of volunteers determined to help keep them safe.
Almost 250 support service team volunteers patrolled the streets giving directions, safety advice and offering a general helping hand to school leavers.
The chief executive of Crime Stoppers Queensland, Trevor O'Hara, said their role was vital to keeping as many teenagers as safe as possible.
''Our role is not to pass judgment but to try and be their best friends,'' Mr O'Hara said. ''We're not the police, we're not security guards or their mums and dads. We're there to give them some tips and try to keep them as safe as possible.''
Volunteers walk the streets of Surfers Paradise in teams of four providing information, walk-home services, a friendly smile and wise advice to school leavers.
Support team volunteer Jeannie Ward, 70, who was on patrol on Saturday night said it was a rewarding way to give back to the community.
''If anyone's sick, or needs a friend or even just some directions, we help them out,'' Ms Ward said. ''I remind them to phone their mum and I'll give them a hug if they need it.''
Also on patrol on the coast on Saturday was Don Bullock, 74, who is volunteering for his 11th year at schoolies. Mr O'Hara said the support team's main message through the week was for teenagers to stick with their mates.

I see the state's semi-privatized lottery isn't doing what it promised. I say semi-private because nothing in Illinois escapes the meddling of government officials trying to justify their existence.
The lottery, a 40-year shakedown of poor people by the state of Illinois, was contracted out to winning bidder Northstar Lottery Group four years ago. The company promised to substantially increase sales, and to pay $1 billion to the state in the fifth year of its 10-year contract. Now it wants to be released from $900 million of that commitment. The company is $200 million short of the amount it owes the state. Northstar complains that politicians have stopped it from offering certain games and from hosting a concert featuring the rapper R. Kelly.
What happened here? First, it seems that Northstar made overly ambitious promises. State leaders should have asked more questions.
Second, I think the state's lousy economy is causing people to re-think whether to buy lottery tickets. At the gas station I frequent, I've noticed fewer people holding up the line buying 10 to 15 lottery tickets, which was common. That's because they're paying nearly $4 a gallon for gas. Also, many are out of jobs. Or maybe the unofficial motto of Las Vegas is beginning to capture the imaginations of Illinoisans: "The House always wins."
I don't want to ban gambling. Personally speaking, I'm just not angry enough at my money to throw it away.
I must comment on the op-ed in Sunday's paper by William L. Hatfield, the director of environmental health for the Boone County Department of Public Health. Yes, I know food safety is important, and that's why the state has regulations to make sure food sales and restaurants are safe. I suspect Hatfield didn't realize it, but he expressed himself in the tone common among today's government bureaucrats and elected officials: We are the experts, we know what's best for you, and you will comply.
Hatfield took exception to a new law signed by Gov. Pat Quinn that exempts small, home baking operations from a labyrinth of bureaucracy-justifying regulations. This exemption was made because of 12-year old Chloe Stirling of Troy, who makes and sells cupcakes to earn money to buy a car when she turns 16. The Madison County Health Department shut her down, resulting in a statewide uproar that embarrassed lawmakers into making the exemption, which allows people to bake things at home and sell up to $1,000 worth per month without regulation.
Hatfield is disturbed about this exemption, saying, "The age of the operator is irrelevant." He went on to question whether home-baked food was prepared by someone who changed a baby or had parakeets flying overhead. He questioned the kind of eggs used and whether the cat jumped on the counter.
Health codes are good in theory but over the years they have become needlessly complicated, expensive to comply with and enforced arbitrarily. Eventually only national chain restaurants with vast financial and legal resources will be able to comply with them. And maybe that's crony capitalists' intent.
As far as uninspected kitchens, well, that's everybody's home kitchen. Some of those kitchens feature a dog walking around, a cat jumping on the counter, parakeets, and moms who have to stop and change baby diapers in the middle of cooking dinner.
That's real life. And somehow we've all survived.
I've never gotten sick from home cooking, eating at friends' houses, church suppers, potlucks, block parties or bake sales. I have become seriously ill from eating at four, government-inspected restaurants here in Rockford, and at one, very popular restaurant on Capitol Hill where I was among about 200 people (according to the next day's Washington Post) who had the seafood special for lunch.
The food poisoning kicked in three hours later, while I was interviewing U.S. Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois, in his office in the Russell Building. That was embarrassing, but Simon was gracious about it, as was typical of that fine gentleman.
I was sick as a dog for two days. And where were the Health Police? Probably at the doughnut shop.

Right -- the guy from "The Lord of the Rings" who killed everything in sight with his awesome archery skills. Yes, Johnny Depp's pirate buddy from "Pirates of the Caribbean." Oh ... right, the man who made a child with Miranda Kerr.
Miranda Kerr.
Yet, the evil website Gawker, siting reports from the National Enquirer, the New York Post and other sources, is trying to make us believe the man who used to wake up next to Miranda Kerr every morning somehow is desperate to date Taylor Swift.
Nope -- calendar doesn't say April 1.
Says Gawker: "Orlando has been bombarding Taylor with text messages and phone calls, begging her for a date," according to a friend of Swift. "But she's been playing hard to get. She's flattered because she thinks Orlando is so sexy and, in normal circumstances, she would leap at the chance."
Well ... yeah. I'm a heterosexual man, and I'd have to give it some thought.
Swift is reportedly concerned that dating Bloom would hurt her friendships with Selena Gomez -- who is said to be hot for Bloom, even if she is still dating Justin Bieber -- and Miranda Kerr, and is worried about being involved in a rebound romance.
The flip side is, she could probably wind up with some great material for a song when she irrationally jettisons him.
"She's looking for a serious relationship," the friend supposedly said. "She doesn't want to be just another notch on his belt. Taylor knows that Selena is nuts about Orlando and wants to have a real relationship with him. Yet all he seems to want to do is ask her about Taylor!"
This is all so confusing to us mere mortals.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Environmental groups fighting fracking say Gov. Andrew Cuomo's order for a new public health study is a sign he may be backing off his plans to allow the hotly debated extraction process.
While Cuomo insists he has made no decision, he has repeatedly said he will approve fracking if the science shows it can be done safely. And the study — if it finds no major threats — could give him the cover to move forward with more political benefits than hits.
"There is no step back," Cuomo told reporters in Syracuse last week when asked about the health study. "I think it will be a more thorough review and it will be a stronger review to withstand a legal challenge. ... Our lawyers say it will be more defensible in the event we're challenged."
Cuomo administration officials have worried privately that continued loud opposition to fracking, which injects chemically laced water into shale formations to release gas, could disrupt other policy work and the governor's re-election campaign without creating a single job.
By addressing any deficiency in the public health review now, they say, Cuomo could knock the legs out from under one potential legal challenge and actually greatly speed up hydrofracking in New York.
For Cuomo, this may be the most politically opportune time move ahead. He has political protection from President Barack Obama, who endorses the process nationwide. Unemployment remains stubbornly high — near 9 percent — in New York, despite his mantra of "jobs, jobs, jobs." And, he has a Republican controlled Senate filled with supporters of hydrofracking.
In the end, political experts don't think Cuomo's 2014 re-election would be threatened by a decision to approve fracking. National politics show it would actually help him in any run for president in 2016.
And while opposition is strong, organized and well-funded, its depth is uncertain. Polls and voter trends show approval of hydrofracking could be, politically, a wash.
The detailed breakdown of responses to an Aug. 21 Siena College poll show a steady trend of 4 in 10 New Yorkers opposed to hydrofracking while 6 in 10 either support it, don't care, or haven't cared enough to learn enough about it to form an opinion.
Politically, it comes down to weighing the real and immediate joblessness crisis in a state where the economic recovery trails the nation, against a possible environmental disaster down the road.
"There may be a short-term political hit" with either choice, said Steven Greenberg of the Siena College poll. "But I don't think it's a political hit of lengthy consequence.
"But I do think there are potential political implications down the road," Greenberg said. "The smart political decision is to let science guide the way."
Tax revenue records obtained by The Associated Press also show an enticing uptick in hotel and restaurant business and overall spending over the past 12 months in communities just north of the Pennsylvania border, which some Albany analysts attribute to overflow business from fracking already under way just south of the state line. Those counties saw double-digit increases, with a 28.7-percent increase in Tioga County, compared to overall statewide increase of 4.7 percent.
Overall sales tax collections increased 6.8 percent in the Southern Tier, the biggest regional jump in the state, and while the statewide average was 4.2 percent.
Bold face names abound on the opposition, although their involvement hasn't yet been shown to have bumped up steady, public opposition. Among the opponents to fracking are Robert F. Kennedy, Cuomo's former brother-in-law, along with musicians Lady Gaga and Paul McCartney. Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon joined Artists Against Fracking led by actor Mark Ruffalo.
Although Albany has a history of being star-struck when celebrities push policies, Cuomo has insisted science alone will make his decision. And he's also earned loads of goodwill and campaign funds from the entertainment industry for his championing of gay marriage in last year.
If a truly independent and thorough public review is undertaken, "I think it gets us there," said Dr. Kathleen Nolan of the Catskill Mountainkeeper environmental group opposed to fracking.

Thanks Mongoose, awesome pieces man, well worth the wait! Pics to come!
Well I got this new barrel.....
And I want to use it on my noxious. Goose is sending me red feedneck ring and detents, but my snatch grip is black...
Anybody want to trade their red snatch grip for my black one? Come on please! I'll throw in some money!
I have a red dropkick.

Since there were so many made already I doubt there would be a market for anymore.
Got my noxious body/ detents/ and vemonized feedneck today
Looks great!!
Ill post piks when I have it all together
was it a 1.5 feedneck or 1"?Originally Posted by Rudz
I asked for 1" and didn't get it when I got my body so I'm hopping if you got 1" mine will be along shortly...
I asked for a 1.5" because he had them in stock, I know he is/ was waiting for the 1" feednecks
Is there any update on the EP bodies?
I dont mean to become impatient but it is dragging
all the gloss black ep bodies are being anno'd now...this is a new anno shop and should have a much better time frameOriginally Posted by ezcreation
Mongoose, you have me down for a gloss black snatch grip?
Still wondering if my body has shipped. Any word 'goose?Originally Posted by Daze

Have not gotten my Red Noxious Body rail and RPG feedneck yet.
Still on the lookout
Everything is coming in and shipping out.Originally Posted by Swamp Thing
Reds are all being done in big batches....to help ensure color matching "Venomous Red is a tricky color"
I'm just waitng on CCM for feednecks to be finished and sent.
EP bodies are almost finished and ready.

ETA on feednecks so the rest of the Noxious bodies can go out?
So, I'll get my EP body and rail, make sure it all builds up and then send it off for custom anno with the rest of the parts. Kinda ironic...
Gonna be cool though.

European Commission
Brussels, 11 June 2013
Ensuring a future for steel in Europe
Since the Davignon Plan of 1977, this is the first time that the Commission has proposed a comprehensive action plan for steel, eleven years after the expiration of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) Treaty in 2002.
The European steel industry has many assets in the form of modern plants, advanced products, demanding clients forcing constant product innovation, an important domestic market and a skilled workforce. However, today it faces major challenges: low demand, increasing energy costs, reliance on imported raw materials, stiff and often unfair competition and challenging environmental requirements. There is a heightened risk of plant closures and job losses.
This memo analyses the challenges the steel industry is facing and presents the European Commission's Action plan, which was published today. It recalls the strategic importance of steel to the EU and its close links to many downstream industrial sectors such as automotive, construction, electronics. It emphasises in no uncertain terms that steel making has a future in Europe.
A. The challenges
Steel demand in Europe is currently 27% below the pre-crisis level. Employment in the sector fell by 10% from 2007 to 2011, as several production sites closed or reduced output. But the EU is still the second largest producer of steel in the world, employing over 360 000 people, with an output of over 177 million tonnes of steel a year, accounting for 11% of global output.
Globally, steel industry currently has approximately 542 million tonnes of excess capacity, of which almost 200 million tonnes are located in China. If capacity remains constant after 2014, it could take five to seven years for demand to match capacity, at the current rate of growth.
Competition is fierce, the Chinese steel industry now accounts for almost 50% of global steel production and China is the largest steel exporter worldwide. In the United States, the fall in energy costs resulting from the shale gas revolution has improved the competitive cost position of the industry, which is now attracting new investments. The US may soon become a net exporter of steel, further increasing global over-supply. Some neighboring countries (Russia, Ukraine and Turkey) have substantially improved their steel production capacity to export to the EU.
This being said, competition is not always fair - There is an increasing trend to protect domestic steelmakers through the imposition of export restrictions and export duties on raw materials, unduly raising steel production costs in the EU. This is the case in India, China, the Russian Federation and Egypt. Investment limitations in, and public procurement preferences for domestic steel sectors are in place in China and the US.
The OECD expects global steel demand to increase to 2.3 billion tonnes by 2025, mainly from the construction, transport and mechanical engineering sectors, in particular in emerging economies. It is vital that the EU steel industry is fit to take full advantage of this next surge in demand.
B. The steel action plan – Steel has a future in Europe
Clearly, we need to stimulate growth in demand for EU steel both within the EU and in third countries, cut costs and increase innovative, sustainable steel production. Only if there is targeted action by the EU, Member States and business will the EU steel industry regain competitiveness and develop the next generation of steel products vital for other key European industries.
1. Ensuring the right regulatory framework
In line with the Commission's Smart Regulation agenda1, EU legislation must be effective and efficient in achieving its objectives. The Commission is determined to identify excessive burdens, inconsistencies, gaps or ineffective measures.
In this context the Commission will finalise a cumulative cost assessment for the steel sector in 2013 to assess the overall EU regulatory burden, as well as thoroughly assessing the impacts of any new initiatives which can be expected to have a major influence on the competitiveness of the steel industry.
In some Member States value-added tax evasion in the domestic steel market negatively affects the operational conditions for steel producers. As a result, they suffer from unfair competition from the black market, leading to cuts in production or closures. The Commission, together with Member States, will therefore investigate possible initiatives against the illegal EU market for steel products, including VAT evasion.
European standards can also promote sustainable production of steel construction products. The steel industry is already developing the Steel Construction Products Mark – SustSteel. It aims to promote sustainability in general, and in the production of steel construction products in particular. Its use may require require specific standardisation activities.
2. Easing restructuring and addressing skill needs
The outlook for employment in the steel sector is of serious concern and deserves full political attention, not least because 40 000 jobs have been lost in recent years, due to restructuring.
Structural funds, and in particular the European Social Fund and the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, as well as several policy instruments can alleviate the social cost of adjustment and ensure that the necessary skills required are retained.
The age structure in most European steel-producing companies is such that more than 20% of the current workforce will have left the industry in the period 2005-2015, and close to 30 % will leave up to 2025. The industry thus needs to be able to attract young and creative talent.
The Commission will launch a series of measures, but also calls on Member States and industry to join in implementing the actions:
Ensure that the granting of EU fans takes into account the durability of the investments in creating and maintaining jobs.
3. Boosting demand for steel
In the EU, steel demand depends on the economic and financial status of a few key sectors which have themselves suffered in the financial crisis.
The construction and the automotive sectors account for a combined share of approximately 40% of steel demand. The EU initiatives targeting these sectors – CARS2020 stimulating demand for vehicles using alternative fuels and "Sustainable Construction" encouraging renovation of buildings – must be implemented.
4. Supporting demand by improving access to foreign markets and ensuring a level playing field at international level
The EU is an open market, but too often non-EU steel producing countries use trade restrictions or distortions including tariff barriers, non-tariff measures, export incentives and subsidies to give unfair advantages to their own steel industries
There is a particular need in this sector for fair international competition and a level playing field. Steelmaking depends on resources that are scarce in Europe. Europe recycles steel scrap, which is one of the inputs to steel-making, but even here there is a shortage in part due to illegal exports.
Bilateral and multilateral trade policy and notably negotiations of free trade agreements (FTAs) are the key instruments to ensure access to third country markets and raw materials, backed up by Trade Defence Instruments to address unfair trade practices. In 2012, eleven new investigations on iron and steel products were initiated following complaints by the industry.
The Commission will also:
5. Boosting competitiveness with the right energy, climate, resource and energy efficiency policies
Energy costs represent approximately 40% of operating costs in steelmaking. As in other Energy Intensive Industries (EII), energy costs are one of the main competitiveness drivers.
European industry pays higher energy prices than most of its international competitors, prices which rose by 27% in real terms between 2005 and early 2012. Future energy policies must identify ways to reduce or compensate for adverse impacts on the competitiveness of EIIs.
Differences in end user electricity prices between EU Member States are due to a complex interaction of various factors, including fuel costs, taxation policy, market structure, renewables policies and different approaches to price regulation. While high shares of renewable energy with low marginal costs can have a downward pressure on wholesale prices, the impact on end user prices from expansion of renewable energy can be negative in the short to medium term through the addition of renewables levies by the Member States. An efficient internal energy market will stimulate competition and reduce prices but this requires adequate cross-border and trans-European energy infrastructure, which will only be achieved through targeted action by the EU and its Member States.
Another challenge is the ETS related increase of electricity prices which hit producers using Electric Arc Furnaces and recycled scrap as the primary raw material particularly hard. Continued investments in energy efficiency are needed: plants using best technologies are already operating close to their thermodynamic limits.
As one of the largest sources of CO2 emissions, the steel industry is at particular risk of carbon leakage. Consequently, it will be allocated emission allowances at 100% of the benchmark based value for free. Under the ETS state aid guidelines it may benefit from financial compensation from 1st January 2013 until 31 December 2020.
Climate policies will be another important driver for technology changes. A stable and transparent regulatory framework is necessary to ensure that long-term investments, indispensable for the renewal of the industrial base, take place. The EU's climate policy post-2020 will play a crucial role as will the commitments and ambitions of non-EU countries. In the short term, an increase in the use of scrap material could make an important contribution to emissions reduction, but the EU availability of quality scrap is limited. Increasing scrap use further necessitates improving and stimulating the recycling market.
A critical area is the successful demonstration of breakthrough technologies for CO2 emission abatement including industrial carbon capture and storage (CCS). There are however important challenges to be taken into account like high costs and lack of public awareness and acceptance.
Ensure global comparability – Standards for emissions
Improved commitments as well as efficient systems of monitoring, reporting and verification must be in place to ensure transparency of the future international climate change agreement and internationally recognised measurement standards are essential to ensure the EU steel industry is not unfairly handicapped.
One innovative idea to support the implementation of the EU Climate Policy and to facilitate achieving the objectives of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is to adopt European Standards for assessing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in EII. Identifying quantifiable contributions to emissions reduction, at plant and industry sector level, requires transparent methodologies and a solid consensus on monitoring, reporting and verification procedures as well as key performance indicators. The standards will enable the performance of plants to be compared globally.
Amongst other initiatives, the Commission proposes:
Member States can contribute to these reduction goals by
The Commission will assess the impact of the measures taken and if necessary give additional recommendations to minimize energy costs for energy intensive industries (EII).
6. Boosting Innovation
The European steel industry is constantly developing new types of steel for specific applications. To further boost this competitive edge, there is a need to stimulate innovative R&D to a much greater extent than in the past, particularly the economically risky and very expensive pilot and demonstration phases.
The European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials (EIP) fosters innovation through the value chain of steel, from exploration and extraction, to efficient processing, recycling and substitution.
The Commission will:
This action by the Commission can be complemented by dedicated programmes at the Member State level. European Investment Bank can also contribute by considering long-term financing applications for projects that aim to ensure compliance with requirements under the Industrial Emissions Directive based on best available techniques (BATs).
Additionally the steel sector benefits from state support measures that contribute to EU 2020 objectives, notably R&D, innovation training and employment aid as well as aid to increase environmental protection.
Within twelve months of the adoption of the Action Plan, the Commission will assess how its implementation has impacted the competitiveness of the steel industry and, if necessary, provide additional recommendations and guidance

Marked man
Hancock Eagle Scout brings forward men from historyBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent April 08. 2013 7:46PM

PETERBOROUGH - "You are a marked man," fellow Eagle Scouts told Stephen Baird, 15, of Hancock at his Eagle Scout ceremony at the Peterborough Community Center Sunday afternoon attended by about 160 people.
The distinction is part of the Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony initiating Baird and acknowledging his work toward achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.
The ceremony took place as part of an American Legion Cheney-Armstrong Post 5 meeting and was well attended by area veterans.
Baird's grandfather, World War II veteran Alfred DeBlois, who died last June, had been a member of the post.
For his Eagle Scout project, Baird of Troop 8 of Peterborough organized 32 volunteers to work 183 hours fixing up the School Kids in Peterborough before and after school program building. The project included building a cedar sandbox and trash corral, renovating the garden area and creating an outdoor music center.
Among the many speakers Sunday was Capt. Larry Brudnicki, who as captain of a Coast Guard ship performed two dramatic rescues during a storm that became known as "The Perfect Storm," which inspired the New York Times best-seller and the blockbuster movie.
Brudnicki recalled becoming an Eagle Scout 50 years ago. He was trumped by 90-year-old World War II army veteran Chet Soule of Peterborough, who has been an Eagle Scout for 76 years.
Soule took off his jacket before approaching the podium to speak to reveal he was wearing his Boy Scouts uniform. As a surprise he presented Baird with a Boy Scout kerchief that had been presented to Soule at the first Boy Scout Jamboree in February 1937.
Soule said the Jamboree was first planned for 1935, but was canceled due to a polio outbreak. Because of World War II the annual Jamborees didn't start again until 1950, he said.
