Princeton undergraduate Lekha Kanchinadam is among the students in a yearlong humanities "supercourse" for freshmen titled "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Western Culture from Antiquity to the Modern Period." Team-taught by professors across the humanities departments, the course spans 3,000 years of Western culture and thought through a plurality of perspectives.

Video feature: Freshmen delve into a humanities 'blockbuster' course
Posted April 27, 2012; 12:00 p.m.
"Two semesters. 10 professors. 3,000 years of culture." It's not a film trailer, but the catchphrase used to describe a "blockbuster" course at Princeton for freshmen titled "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Western Culture from Antiquity to the Modern Period." This video produced by the Broadcast Center offers comments from students enrolled in the course.
Generally referred to as the HUM sequence (HUM 216-219), this team-taught, double-credit supercourse examines Western history, philosophy, literature, religion and art from ancient times to the 20th century. The faculty represents a broad spectrum of humanities departments.
Play the "From Sophocles to Shelley " video.
The sequence's multidisciplinary approach is designed to engage students in the plurality of perspectives essential to the humanities.
Readings throughout the year range from Aristotle, Dante, Homer and Plato to Shakespeare, Flaubert, Austen and Nietzsche. "You get the scope, you get to see all the works in relation to each other, how they flow into each other. You can see how two texts present the same ideas," said freshman Paul Fanto.
"The sequence is one of our best recruiting devices for very smart students," said Carol Rigolot, executive director of the Council of the Humanities. Admission to the sequence is limited to a select number of students chosen on the basis of letters describing why they wish to enroll in the course.
"As a freshman, it sets you up for so many different disciplines. It builds you a scaffolding of all of Western thought. If you put it on your resume, it sounds like you know everything — and, in a sense, you feel like you do," said Andrew Frazier, a member of the Class of 2015.

Sunrise Audio Xcited
" (This is my first review ever so, if you see something you don't agree with, it's a free country. Voice your opinions. But this is only one person's thoughts. Take it with a grain of salt.) I've been hearing about this IEM for the past year now. I was most intrigued by the reviews. It was hard to see a review about the Xcited (and its older brother, the Xcape IE, which our brother Spica,..." --amzies01
Sunrise Xcape Impressive Edition
The SW-Xcape is a more balanced IEM with a sweet midrange and nice bass, yet never compromises detail anywhere in the spectrum, notably the highs. Highs are neither in the forefront or in the background; they are balanced with the rest of the spectrum and are present as the recording dictates. There is a slight emphasis on the midrange, which is great for strings, vocals, and rock, but is still...
" Impressed with the sound overall, balanced throughout the frequency range (bass is tight, medium to high frequencies not bad but I still think my Shures are better in the mid to high). That being said, the build is very worrisome - the right shell came apart exposing the tiny speaker and had to be glued. The cord is very flimsy and appears it won't take much of a yank to break the cord...." --jlopes89

Video feature: 'Princeton Orange Bowl'
Posted February 19, 2013; 12:00 p.m.
The juice might have been virtual but the competition was real when Princeton undergraduates recently kicked off the annual Princeton Orange Bowl — or "OJ Game" — an event in which teams compete to build the best virtual orange juice business. In a single grueling day after extensive preparation, groups of students buy and sell virtual orange or orange juice futures, sign contracts, and arrange for manufacturing, shipping and storage. From a computerized control room, a group of faculty and graduate students monitor the students' progress and throw the occasional cold front or orange blight their way.
"The game allows people to learn to not only solve difficult analytical problems, but to also do so in teams," said Warren Powell, a professor of operations research and financial engineering who has run the event for more than 15 years. "At the end of the day, it really boils down to how well they work together."
Play the "Princeton Orange Bowl" video.
The competition, highlighted in this video, is the culmination of the students' efforts in "Operations and Information Engineering," a senior-level course that focuses on applying mathematical analysis to complex systems.
"We have been working now for two or three months on this game, spent some late nights," said Will Harrel, the leader of the HarrelsBarrels team.
Although the game forces the students to think on their feet, Powell said, they have to crunch the numbers to be successful.
"You cannot win this game by luck," Powell said. "You have to do analysis. It's careful planning and execution that wins."

An aromatic herb, Mint (Mentha longifolia) has been used for a wide variety of purposes including culinary, household, and medicinal. It is also known by the names mentha, Wild Mint, balderjan, and inzinziniba. Mentha longifolia is a hardy perennial that grows as tall as three feet and spreads to an equal length. In dry or unfavorable conditions, it grows to a shorter height. The leaves have a coarse texture with edges that are a bit prickly to the touch. Mint grows quickly, creeping along the ground to which it is anchored by an underground root system. The leaves, which do not have stalks, are generally light to dark green, but may even appear to have a gray coloring.
Once the plant reaches full maturity, it produces small flowers at the tip of the stems. The flowers are clustered into spikes and vary in color from mauve to white. Flowering typically occurs throughout the summer months and perhaps into the fall, depending on weather conditions and location. Mentha longifolia flowers contain both male and female parts (hermaphroditic), and pollination occurs through insect activity. Mint plants are useful when a desire to attract wildlife exists. Additionally, mint deters rodents from going into any area where it is prevalent and harmful insects from attacking garden plants. While mint attracts butterflies and bees, it deters insect pests.
Mint plants are best grown in moist soil that can be acidic, basic, or neutral in pH. It grows well in sandy, loamy, or clay soils, while also having the ability to flourish in soil that is hardened with a high consistency of clay because the roots are strong enough to penetrate the soil. Mint grows well in both sunny and partially sunny conditions. Able to resist frost, Mentha longifolia grows throughout the world in many different locations. Available in many varieties, aromatic mint plants are highly prized for their refreshing scents and ease of cultivation.
Mint delivers a refreshing flavor that has been included in formulas for candy, jelly, tea, and gum. Mint leaves are used in cooking to flavor main dishes as well as being used for decorative garnishes for many culinary dishes. Mint may be consumed raw or cooked. Its aromatic flavor and scent are commonly used to flavor salads, teas, and chutneys. Many varieties of mint are available, but popular types include those offering peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, and apple mint scents/flavors. It has also been used as a natural deodorizer for both the kitchen and bathroom.
Mint contains anti-inflammatory properties that help to prevent environmental and physiological damage to the body as well as aiding in soothing the skin from minor irritations and inflammations. Containing natural antibacterial capabilities, mint is useful in helping to prevent blemishes and acne breakouts from occurring as well as in the prevention of foot odor. Therefore, it is often found in acne treatments and foot products. The inclusion of mint in acne treatments is exceptionally good for oily skin types.
Due to the invigorating, refreshing scent offered by mint, it is often used in bath products for home use as well as at spas. Not only is mint included to energize the individual, but it is also added to bath products to assist in alleviating the discomfort associated with sore muscles. Mint is sometimes used in shaving products to help prevent ingrown hairs. It softens and hydrates the skin.
Essential oil of mint has been attributed with the following capabilities: carminative (offers relief from intestinal gas), stimulant (invigorates physiological activity), antispasmodic (controls involuntary muscle spasms), and anti-asthmatic (delivers relief from symptoms associated with asthma). Traditionally, wild mint has been used to help heal wounds and minimize scarring.
Mint has often been used as an herbal remedy since it is considered to provide beneficial capabilities in treating various maladies, most particularly disorders of the stomach. Throughout time, people have chewed on sprigs of mint not only to freshen the breath, but also to ease stomach upset. The essential oil that is extracted from mint offers a refreshing scent that is utilized in many products including toothpaste, mouthwashes, dental rinses, breath mints, candy, and chewing gum. Mint is included in teas to promote the relief of discomfort associated with colds, asthma, headaches, indigestion, stomach cramps, and flatulence.

Varilight V-Plus Ultra Flat Brushed Steel, 4 Gang (Quad), 1 or 2 Way Push-on/Push-off 4x300 Watt Low Voltage intelligent Dimmer, with (Leading Edge) Technology, with Brushed Steel Knobs (For Mains and Almost All Low Voltage Applications)VARILIGHT Dimmer Switches have an industry-wide reputation for exceptional performance, long life and innovation at attractive prices. This VARILIGHT V-Plus (Intelligent IQ) Series dimmer, like all our products, is designed to meet the latest European Safety Legislation.The V-Plus dimmer is equipped with Self Re-setting Overload Protection, so is able to handle overload situations, for example, if the wattage of the bulbs/lamps are accidentally too high on a circuit. This is achieved by either, stepping down the dimmer's output to the lamps (if the watts are marginally overloaded), or the dimmer cuts out before there is any damage, (if the watts are grossly overloaded), until the load is reduced. This dimmer series also contains a heat sensor which again stops damage to the dimmer, if it becomes too hot.The V-Plus Series Dimmer has Soft Start Technology, allowing a longer life span of the bulbs or lamps used by increasing the brightness level softly, which also creates a welcoming effect.The V-Plus Series dimmers can be used for mains voltage, low voltage transformer loads, or control of awkward loads. V-Plus Dimmers can be used for mains incandescent GLS lamps (standard mains light bulbs), up to the maximum load as specified on the dimmer. They can also dim GU10 or similar Hi Spot Mains Halogen lamps (only use quality UK supplied lamps) up to the maximum load as specified on dimmer. Good quality Dimmable Electronic Transformers can also be dimmed using this dimmer, please note that noise levels can depend on the quality of the Transformer being used. Choose the V-Pro Series to eliminate Dimmer Buzz, created from Dimmable Electronic Transformers. When using Electronic Low Voltage Transformers we recommend that a maximum of 5 good quality Dimmable Electronic Transformers are used (10 if Varilight) with this Dimmer range. Please note: add the watts of the bulbs/lamps if using Varilight Transformers, to determine which dimmer to select, but if using another manufacturer of transformer, add up the VA of the Transformers so it does not exceed the maximum of the dimmer. This V-Plus Series Dimmer can be used for wire-wound Low Voltage Transformers (NOT RECOMMENDED FOR LARGE TORROIDAL TRANSFORMERS) up to maximum load as specified on dimmer and can also be used on Fans and other inductive load appliances, but please check with manufacturer of appliance.The V-Plus Dimmer Series uses Leading Edge Technology.V-Plus Dimmers can be used in 2-way circuits (where one lighting circuit is controlled from two locations). In order to achieve 2-way switching, they must be paired with a standard 2-way switch in the other location. 3-way switching can also be achieved by adding an intermediate switch in to the circuit. Please note, if total dimming is preferred from all switched locations, in a 2 or 3-way circuit then choose the Varilight Touch and Remote range of dimmers, in conjunction with Slave Dimmers.Choose V-Pro Dimmer Series if dimming LED'sThis Dimmer has a maximum of 300 Watts and minimum of 40 Watts Please see Varilight's recommendation of maximum loads in the Compatibility guide PDF found in "Specs & PDF's"

|Following World War I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, the League of Nations awarded Britain the mandate to govern much of the Middle East. Britain demarcated a semi-autonomous region of Transjordan from Palestine in the early 1920s. The area gained its independence in 1946 and thereafter became The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The country's long-time ruler, King HUSSEIN (1953-99), successfully navigated competing pressures from the major powers (US, USSR, and UK), various Arab states, Israel, and a large internal Palestinian population. Jordan lost the West Bank to Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. King HUSSEIN in 1988 permanently relinquished Jordanian claims to the West Bank; in 1994 he signed a peace treaty with Israel. King ABDALLAH II, King HUSSEIN's eldest son, assumed the throne following his father's death in 1999. He implemented modest political and economic reforms, but in the wake of the "Arab Revolution" across the Middle East, Jordanians continue to press for further political liberalization, government reforms, and economic improvements.

Jordan's economy is among the smallest in the Middle East, with insufficient supplies of water, oil, and other natural resources, underlying the government's heavy reliance on foreign assistance. Other economic challenges for the government include chronic high rates of poverty, unemployment, inflation, and a large budget deficit. Since assuming the throne in 1999, King ABDALLAH has implemented significant economic reforms, such as opening the trade regime, privatizing state-owned companies, and eliminating some fuel subsidies, which in the last decade spurred economic growth by attracting foreign investment and creating some jobs. The global economic slowdown and regional turmoil, however, have depressed Jordan''s GDP growth, impacting export-oriented sectors, construction, and tourism. In 2011 and 2012, the government approved two economic relief packages and a budgetary supplement, meant to improve the living conditions for the middle and poor classes. Jordan''s finances have also been strained by a series of natural gas pipeline attacks in Egypt, causing Jordan to substitute more expensive diesel imports, primarily from Saudi Arabia, to generate electricity. Jordan is currently exploring nuclear power generation in addition to the exploitation of abundant oil shale reserves and renewable technologies to forestall energy shortfalls. In 2012, to correct budgetary and balance of payments imbalances, Jordan entered into a $2.1 billion, multiple year International Monetary Fund Stand-By Arrangement. Jordan''s financial sector has been relatively isolated from the international financial crisis because of its limited exposure to overseas capital markets. Jordan will continue to depend heavily on foreign assistance to finance the deficit in 2013.

After graduating with a degree in journalism from Ohio State University and working in the newspaper business for many years, the first time Sherryl Woods sat down to write a novel, she struggled with the lack of quotes and pages of facts she was used to having. And then, thanks to a very perceptive friend, she realized she got to use her imagination to make it all up!
Since then, for more than 100 women's fiction, romance and mystery novels, Sherryl's been making up all sorts of things -- characters, storylines, entire communities. The best part, she says, is that her heroes do exactly what she tells them to do, unlike any of the men she's ever known.
But even though Sherryl's allowed her imagination free rein, she still likes to write novels that are grounded in reality. "I want my characters and situations to resonate with my readers. Nothing pleases me more than to hear from a reader that she'd been through exactly that situation, and it all rang true for her. Better yet, that she, like the heroine not only survived, but thrived!"

Katherine Clifton (left) and Shreya Nathan (right) were among the many freshmen who were matched together as roommates by filling out a questionnaire about their living habits. Often these seemingly random pairings turn into lifelong friendships at Princeton.

Posted April 2, 2012; 12:00 p.m.
Before starting freshman year, each incoming student is asked to fill out a detailed survey asking questions such as, "Are you an early riser?" and "Do you consider yourself organized and neat?" in relation to living habits.
Though students are randomly assigned to one of six close-knit residential colleges, much thought goes into which pairs or groups of students will get along based on the answers the students give on their questionnaires. In this video, roommates provide perspectives from their first year and from their last.
Play the "Roommates" video.
"You never know who you're going to be put with," said senior Kevin Laskey. "Sometimes, the mystical sheets that tell you exactly who you're going to be with … don't work. And sometimes they work out extremely well. But either way, a lot of it is if you come into it with the right mindset."
According to freshman Shreya Nathan, "The best part is really just knowing that everyone is … right there with you learning the same things about themselves, about Princeton, about each other. So that just makes it that much easier to bond."

Most, if not all of us have hero's, idols, or sports figures that we are fans of. Now, I am not one to oogle over celebrities or go out of my way to get an autograph. In fact I am quite the opposite and continuously preach that we need to be careful of who we "worship" in regards to being fans.
Having said that…
Today is one of my favorite actors birthday's. Marion Robert Morrison, also know as John Wayne was born this day in 1907. Now it can be debated that John Wayne may not be the best role model, but as an actor he always played the hero. He was an enduring American icon, he epitomized rugged masculinity and is famous for his demeanor, including his distinctive calm voice, walk, and height. He played Football at USC (not my favorite school… but at least it was Football).
John Wayne as a character and man symbolized American values and ideals. By the middle of his career, Wayne had developed a larger-than-life image, and as his career progressed, he selected roles that would not compromise his off-screen image. In his last film, the Shootist, he refused to allow his character to shoot a man in the back as was originally scripted, saying "I've made over 250 pictures and have never shot a guy in the back. Change it."
John Wayne was and will always be a character that we can look to as a man! He treated women with respect, he understood the value of service, he lived through his characters a sense of duty. In his "real" life he believed in these things also. He raised his family that way and even toward the end of his life, he publically supported conservative causes and promoted a life of ideals and Values.
Now I know that you have all heard or seen this before, but I am going to post it here on my blog just in case you want to use it or be reminded of the great man who was John Wayne.. yep.. one of my hero's.
So here is how it went. John Wayne was invited to speak at a fund-raising dinner for a Scout ranch. The ranch was to honor Mr. Wayne by naming the ranch the 'John Wayne Outpost camp'.
At the dinner, John Wayne spoke reciting the Scout Law. He said during his speech that the" twelve points of the Scout Law are "nice words". "Trouble is" he continued, "we learn them so young we sometimes don't get all the understanding that goes with them. I take care of that in my family. As each boy reaches Scout age, I make sure he learns the Scout Law. Then I break it down for him, with a few things I have picked up in more than half a century since I learned it."
Then be broke down the law like this:
"TRUSTWORTHY The badge of honesty. Having it lets you look at any man in the eye. Lacking it, he won't look back. Keep this one at the top of your list.
LOYAL The very word is life itself; for without loyalty we have no love of person or country
HELPFUL Part sharing, part caring. By helping each other, we help ourselves; not to mention mankind. Be always full of help — the dying man's last words.
FRIENDLY Brotherhood is part of that word. You can take it in a lot of directions – and do – but make sure and start with brotherhood.
COURTEOUS Allow each person his human dignity; which means a lot more than saying, "Yes, ma'am" and "Thank you, sir." It reflects an attitude that later in life you wish you had honored more… earlier in life. Save yourself that problem. Do it now.
KIND This one word would stop wars and erase hatreds. But it's like your bicycle, it's just no good unless you get out and use it.
OBEDIENT Starts at home. Practice it in your family. Enlarge it in your friends. Share it with humanity.
CHEERFUL Anyone can put on a happy face when the going is good. The secret is to wear it as a mask for your problems. It might surprise you how many others do the same thing.
THRIFTY Means a lot more than putting pennies away; and it is the opposite of cheap. Common sense covers it just about as well as anything.
BRAVE You don't have to fight to be brave. Millions of good, fine, decent folks show more bravery than heavyweight champs just by getting out of bed every morning, going out to do a good day's work, and living the best life they know how against the law of odds. Keep the word handy every day of your life.
CLEAN Soap and water helps a lot on the outside. But it is the inside that counts, and don't ever forget it.
REVERENT Believe in anything that you want to believe in, but keep God at the top of it. With Him, life can be a beautiful experience. Without Him, you are just biding time."
John Wayne then thanked those at the dinner for putting his name on the outpost camp and said, "I would rather see it here than on all the theater marquees the world over."
John Wayne is an American icon. I have been a fan for as long as I can remember.
I will close with my favorite quote from John Wayne:
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Neil Balduc of Bessemer, MI won the Midwest Modified feature at the Proctor
Speedway Sunday night. Balduc started on the pole but got snookered by veteran
Bill Matzdorf at the start. Matzdorf bolted from the outside of the second row and
took the lead which he held until the white flag lap when Balduc who had been
dogging Matzdorf''s tire tracks since the restart after the caution for Dan Wilson's
spin early in the 20 lap event, sailed by to the lead and took home his second
feature win of the season. Deven VanHouse and Loren Inman lurked in the top
five for the entire event but couldn't muster enough steam to challenge the two
leaders. Balduc had his own battle for several laps as he had to let Matzdorf go
while he battled with Kingsley to keep second. Balduc finally broke away from
Kingsley, closed on Matzdorf and those two broke away to duke it out for the win.
In the closing laps the top five pulled away from the pack which was led by Josh
Kevin Salin put in a stout run in the 20 lap Super Stock main event. Salin
started inside the second row and got a great run off turn two on the initial lap to
take the lead. Scott Lawrence charged through from the third row to join outside
pole sitter Donnie Lofdahl in persuit of Salin in the early going. Lawrence made a
move to the outside off turn four to take second and edge ahead but the veteran
Salin was up to the task and regained the point off turn two. A caution flag slowed
the action and, at the green, Salin led Lawrence, Lofdahl, Rick Simpson and Andy
Davey. Dave moved to third but the caution flew again for Simpson at the exit of
turn two and the veteran racer was out. This all happened in the first five laps and
with fifteen to go, Lawrence grabbed the lead at the restart and drove away from
the second place battle. The caution flag flew again for Roy Pumala. At the same
time Mike Bellefeuille suffered extensive damage in turn one and was also
through. Lawrence maintained the lead as Salin, Davey, Lofdahl and Pat
Heikkinen squabbled for second. Just before the mid point of the race a pair of
caution flags slowed the action and set up a single file restart. At the half way
mark Lawrence led Salin and Davey but the caution flag seemed to appear more
than the green flag. Davey finally secured the second spot and battled with
Lawrence for the win in the waning laps and was able to get close using the hight
side. The white flag appeared and Davey had one circuit to get it done but couldn't
quite make it as Lawrence took the win. Davey had to settle for second, Salin hung
around got third Heikkinen was fourth and Lofdahl got back to fifth after being
one of the cautions.
It was 20 laps for the Modifieds and pole sitter E. J. Hietala took the lead with
Darrell Nelson hot on his heels along with Ryan Aho and Kevin Eder. Hietala lost
control in turn four and spun collecting Nelson in a minor collision. This left
Nelson in the catbird seat at the front as Eder shot forward into second surprising
Aho while Jody Bellefeuille ran in fourth. Aho recovered and pulled up to Eder
and they went wheel to wheel for second. Nelson was in command and was never
challenged until near the end when the caution flag appeared and Eder was tagged
setting up a green/white/checkered finish. Nelson easily held off Aho for the win.
Scott Heikkinen was third, Hietala made it back to fourth and Nick Musel hung
around and finished fifth. It was the first time in several years that Musel had been
behind the wheel of a race car.
Kyle Peterlin was on his game in the 25 lap WISSOTA Late Model feature as
he started in the third row. It eventually came down to a hare and hound race
between he and Darrell Nelson. At the green flag Joey Ogston took the lead with
Tim McMann second and Peterlin quickly into third. Nelson ran fourth as Peterlin
moved to the outside of McMann for second and made the pass. Peterlin then ran
down Ogston and made the move to the lead. Nelson soon disposed of Ogston and
set out after Peterlin trying everything he could to get around the young driver. It
looked as though a lapped car might play a part but they both navigated around it
and continued the cat and mouse game. Harry Hanson brought out the only caution
of the event with a spin in turn three. Nelson tried to get by Peterlin on the restart
but failed and Peterlin led the rest of the way though Nelson was never very far
away. After the race Peterlin said his inside tires had really gone away and he was
just hugging the marker tires in the corners and hoping for the best. It was a sweep
for Peterlin. Nelson was second, McMann held onto third,Ogston was fourth and
Aaron Lillo finished fifth.
The finale of the evening was 15 laps for the Proctor Pure Stocks. Former track
champion Josh Loucks won the event, or rather it fell into his lap. Eric Anderson
had planned to start the 7A at the back and just take the green flag but repairs were
made to the ailing water pump and Anderson started in his planned start up near
the front. At the start there occurred a mess in turn four on the first lap as several
cars tried to fit in a limited space. With no laps in, the restart saw Craig Horak take
the multi hued green station wagon to the point. Anderson was second, Esten
Nelson who won the make up feature was third, Loucks was fourth and Glenn
Dammer ran fifth. Horak continued to lead, Anderson maintained second and
Loucks moved moved to third and Dammer, Nelson and Mike Blevins were in a
struggle for fourth. Horak was flummoxed by a lapped car and spun bringing out
the caution. Officials went back a lap and Horak was restored to the front. Horak
stayed in front for several laps until Anderson and Loucks shouldered by with
Anderson in the lead. Horak then brought out the caution flag when he spun in
turn one taking himself out of contention. This left a green/white/checkered dash
to the finish. Prior to the Horak spin Anderson's car began to emit heavy smoke.
Coming down the front stretch for the white flag Anderson headed the heavily
smoking #7A off the pit exit falling to a 14th place finish while a surprised and
elated Loucks steered the #8L to the checkered flag and the victory lane. Blevins,
Nelson Dammer and Keith Koski finished in the top five.

Ok, so before everyone gets completely tired of hearing about the Over the Edge fund Raiser.. let me do one or two more posts on it and then we will call it good.
Yesterday I went over the edge for Scouting. So far the Council has about 125,000 in donations for this single event, that's an unofficial number.. I am just doing the math that 50 of us went over the edge, and to do that you had to raise at least $2500. That's a pretty good chunk of change for a quick fund-raising effort. The nice part, in my opinion, is that we did it without a ton of hype and with the effort of just a few.
That said… it was a good fund-raiser and I am happy that there is a cool incentive for raising the money.
When I 'landed' I was interviewed by some one with a camera looking very official. He asked some questions about the event and what I felt about it. I thought I might share some thoughts.
First. As stated above, I think it was cool that relatively a few people raised this much money for our council. 50 people. There were more people who participated in the fund-raiser, many Scouters made an attempt at getting to the edge, a lot came up short, but every penny counts. Now just imagine if more people would have made the commitment to go over the edge.. We could have made a lot more for Scouting programs. Just a thought. I am taking a "that's cool" approach to the few because I value their dedication to the effort. I talked with one Edger.. he never thought that he would get to the Edge. It was never his intent to go over the edge, he just wanted to raise some money for the council and call it good. One thing led to another and here he was… getting in the harness to go over the edge. So when I say 50, I am focusing only on the folks that went over the edge.
Now, for those folks to raise that kind of money a lot of people had to step up. Each of those 50 people asked for donations. That amounted to a large amount of participation from within the Scouting community as well as true friends of Scouts and Scouters.
I did a lot of "asking" via Twitter and got a great response. Georgia, Maine, Canada, England, to name a few areas that responded, and from around my Council too. Parents from my Jamboree Troop, Wood Badge Friends, Parents from my Troop all stepped up. Leatherman's headquarters is here in Portland and as luck would have it a Scout in my Troop has a Dad that works for Leatherman up in the big office. Conversations leading to the Edge caught the attention of Jake Nichol the President and CEO of Leatherman. He took interest in this effort and made a major contribution to my fund-raising goal.
Second. Friends. Yesterday was like many days at Scouting events. Filled with laughter and friends. Adam Cox and I were scheduled for 10:00 Am to go over the edge together. But from the time I checked in to the time we drove away… it was friends all over the place. I suppose that is the way it is everywhere in Scouting. I saw so many Scouters that I had the pleasure of working with at Jamboree, Wood Badge, Order of the Arrow functions, Training classes and other Scouting Events. The more active you are, the bigger your circle of friends is in Scouting. I could not turn in any direction without seeing a friend. And that made the whole event special.
Our Scout Executive went over the Edge right before Adam and I. It was fun to joke around with him and encourage him all the way down. He is an enthusiastic leader and sets a great example for not only his staff but Scouters in the Council also.
I was talking with my wife last night about how great it is to have so many great Scouting friends. They are good people who really dedicate time and energy to Scouting. And at the end of the day, when you look at the profile created by this great group of people.. it is all about serving others. They all could have spent yesterday making money for themselves, or enjoying the time with their families or doing something other than being a part of this event. But time and time again, we see the same folks, these same dedicated people giving of themselves to make Scouting better in our community, to make our council just that much stronger, to be among friends.
And finally, the event itself. The fact that on Friday in June the Boy Scouts of America would be rappelling down the second tallest building in Portland. Right in the heart of city. The fact that all day long, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Scouters took turns going over the edge of the roof of the USBancorp Tower in view of the whole city. That was cool. It is no secret that the city of Portland does not maintain traditional values that are consistent with the Scout Oath and Law. Why that is? I don't know. It's just the way it is. But we have a very large Scouting community here. There have now been two major events in the heart of Portland that I would never have thought I would see. Hundreds of Scouts and Scouters marching in the Rose festival parade and this Over the Edge event. I am glad that I have been able to not only see these events, but participate in them. Maybe the more we put it out there.. the more the city will embrace Scouting and soon will take to our values. That last one, I will wait for, it's not going to happen any time soon.
But none of that will dampen the scouting spirit of those of us that love Scouting and are willing to put our bodies over the edge.
The Over the Edge event was very well-organized. From the time we walked into the "Ready Room" the professionalism and enthusiasm was there. The Council staff and the OTE staff were friendly and dedicated to making this the safest, funnest event ever. And they did. From the fitting of the harness and explanation of the process to the training on the roof and ultimately the hook up and decent from the top, the staff did a fantastic job. At no time did I feel in danger, frightened, or uncomfortable about what I was doing.
It was great to go down the building with my friend Adam. He had a bit of a challenge right at the edge, but it was great to see him conquer his fear and take the next step and go over. We were talking on the roof that we were either Stupid or motivated.. or a bit of both. But you know this is what it is.. we love Scouting!
Final thought.
If the Over the Edge comes to your council. DO IT!. We will be doing it again next year. It's a great way to raise some money for your council and a fun way to do it! Sure beats selling popcorn.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Over the Edge
Ok, so before everyone gets completely tired of hearing about the Over the Edge fund Raiser.. let me do one or two more posts on it and then we will call it good.

Tilghman treasures the Princeton experience, urges graduates to lead lives of service
Posted June 4, 2013; 02:30 p.m.
In her final Commencement address June 4 as president of Princeton University, Shirley M. Tilghman reflected on the Princeton experience and urged graduates to lead lives of purpose and service.
After serving at the helm of the University since 2001, Tilghman will return to the faculty at the end of this academic year. She will be succeeded by Provost Christopher L. Eisgruber, who will become Princeton's 20th president on July 1.
Tilghman, who received an honorary doctoral degree during the ceremony, said that she, like the graduating students, has been thinking about what she has learned and what she will "take away from this remarkable University."

Speaking to a crowd of approximately 10,000 students and guests assembled on the sun-dappled front lawn of Nassau Hall, Tilghman addressed the new Princeton graduates after conferring their degrees. "You are the beneficiaries of that most distinctive of American inventions — a modern liberal arts education — and you leave here knowing far more about the world in general, and your chosen discipline in particular, than when you arrived," she said.
Whether a "dancer who studied physics" or an "accredited civil engineer inspired by green technology" or "a chemist resolved to cure cancer," all Princeton students have absorbed the value of learning, Tilghman said.
"Your education has not so much given you all the answers as it has taught you to ask the right questions," she said. "It has given you a thirst for free inquiry and the nimbleness of mind to cut through complexity to the insights within. It has given you a powerful voice to make your case and the intellectual confidence to change your mind. And it has exposed you to the staggering breadth and richness of your own and other societies around the world. It is the best preparation I can imagine for the rest of your life."

The Princeton experience extends far beyond the classroom, Tilghman said, emphasizing how much students learn by being members of a "close-knit community living and working and playing on this beautiful and cherished campus."
Quoting Nobel laureate and Princeton emerita professor Toni Morrison's address at the University's 250th anniversary celebration in 1996, Tilghman said that Princeton's " ... strength is knowing what its founders knew, that service to the individual, to the government, to the world requires unwavering commitment to intellectual freedom, [and] a fierce commitment to virtues already being debased by apathy: virtues such as integrity and honor and fair play and courage."
"The key word here is 'service,'" Tilghman said, stressing that "with the privilege of a liberal arts education . . . comes an obligation to pursue a life that is larger than you, to be in the service of this and all nations."
In asking the graduates to "affirmatively make a choice to serve," Tilghman quoted another speaker at Princeton — Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, a member of the Class of 1986, who gave an address at Baccalaureate in 2010. Tilghman said that among his questions offered as a "touchstone to guide those choices" were:
"Will inertia be your guide, or will you follow your passions?"
"Will you choose a life of ease, or a life of service and adventure?"
"Will you wilt under criticism, or will you follow your convictions?"
"Will you be clever at the expense of others, or will you be kind?"
In closing, Tilghman gave her traditional send-off one last time: "As you pass proudly through the FitzRandolph Gate today, as citizens of this and many other nations, I hope you will carry forward the spirit of Princeton and make use of the education you have acquired here.
"And, as I have instructed graduates for the last 12 years, I fully expect you to do as you have done at Princeton — to aim high and be bold!"

Pomp and circumstance
Tilghman shared the podium with two Princeton seniors: valedictorian Aman Sinha, a mechanical and aerospace engineering major from Ivyland, Pa.; and salutatorian Amelia Bensch-Schaus, a classics major from Swarthmore, Pa.
Sinha told his classmates that all their experiences at Princeton "will collectively help us in some inchoate way" and that while they have learned many lessons, there are many more to come. "Learning how to embody not just intelligence but also virtue, for example, or learning how to chase not just success but happiness: many of these lessons we will have to teach ourselves, and some we will only learn after we walk out FitzRandolph Gate," he said.
Bensch-Schaus delivered the salutatory address in Latin. This Princeton tradition dates to the first Commencement in 1748, when the entire ceremony was conducted in Latin. The Latin Salutatory, Princeton's oldest student honor, began as a formal address but today often contains humorous tributes and a fond farewell to Princeton campus life.
Bensch-Schaus thanked Tilghman for tending to her "final flock" and honored the gathered professors and parents. In closing, she said: "Once we entered these very gates as sheep, but now we will emerge from these same gates as men and women unafraid of hungry wolves and fierce storms; we will emerge as tigers of Princeton."

The University awarded degrees to 1,261 undergraduates in the Class of 2013, five from other classes and 892 graduate students at its 266th Commencement.
In a surprise announcement not printed in the day's program, Tilghman was recognized for her leadership as president and was conferred an honorary doctoral degree by Kathryn Hall, chair of the Board of Trustees. Tilghman received a standing ovation when the degree was given. The University also conferred honorary degrees upon five individuals for their contributions to architecture, literature, the humanities, human rights, medicine and science: Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health; Lorraine Daston, executive director of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin; Frank Gehry, world-renowned design architect; Toni Morrison, the Robert F. Goheen Professor in the Humanities Emeritus at Princeton; and Sakena Yacoobi, executive director of the Afghan Institute of Learning.
As part of its annual Commencement ceremony, Princeton honored excellence in teaching. Four Princeton faculty members received President's Awards for Distinguished Teaching and four outstanding secondary school teachers from across New Jersey were recognized for their work.
Princeton students received numerous honors over the last few days of the academic year.

On June 3, seniors were recognized at Class Day ceremonies, where the keynote speaker was editor of The New Yorker David Remnick, a member of the Class of 1981. He exhorted the graduating class to meet the "demands, the responsibilities, that freedom asks of you." He said: "But you came here not merely to set out on a trade or profession, but to exercise the freedom of your minds. You're needed in the larger world — and not merely to shop and take up space. The stakes are huge. The project of building a free society isn't something you can farm out to the experts. You must, in some way, play your part."
Five graduate students were honored for excellence in teaching at the Association of Princeton Alumni's Tribute to Teaching Reception June 1. An afternoon thunderstorm disrupted the Hooding ceremony for advanced degree candidates on June 3, moving the students indoors to Whig Hall, where they received their hoods. The keynote speaker was author and entrepreneur Sheryl WuDunn, a 1988 graduate alumna.
At the Baccalaureate service June 1, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve and former chair of the economics department at Princeton, offered suggestions and observations for the graduating students. He said: "Whatever life may have in store for you, each of you has a grand, lifelong project, and that is the development of yourself as a human being."
Webcasts of Princeton graduation events will be available on the University's WebMedia site.
