I am trying to find words (specifically physical objects) related to a single word. For example:
Tennis: tennis racket, tennis ball, tennis shoe
Snooker: snooker cue, snooker ball, chalk
Chess: chessboard, chess piece
Bookcase: book
I have tried to use WordNet, specifically the meronym semantic relationship; however, this method is not consistent as the results below show:
Tennis: serve, volley, foot-fault, set point, return, advantage
Snooker: nothing
Chess: chess move, checkerboard (whose own meronym relationships shows 'square' & 'diagonal')
Bookcase: shelve
Weighting of terms will eventually be required, but that is not really a concern now.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
Just an update: Ended up using a mixture of both Jeff's and StompChicken's answers.
The quality of information retrieved from Wikipedia is excellent, specifically how (unsurprisingly) there is so much relevant information (in comparison to some corpora where terms such as 'blog' and 'ipod' do not exist).
The range of results from Wikipedia is the best part. The software is able to match terms such as (lists cut for brevity):
- golf: [ball, iron, tee, bag, club]
- photography: [camera, film, photograph, art, image]
- fishing: [fish, net, hook, trap, bait, lure, rod]
The biggest problem is classifying certain words as physical artefacts; default WordNet is not a reliable resource as many terms (such as 'ipod', and even 'trampolining') do not exist in it.

Heirloom vs hybrid produce? Hopefully, you understand how to recognize the difference because it makes a big difference to the nutrition you're getting!
Yesterday at our buying club pickup, a local farmer dropped by to display and sell his beautiful selection of organic produce.
Not just any old organic produce, however.
Organic heirloom produce.
Most folks don't realize that the organic produce at WalMart, Whole Foods, or even the local healthfood store is almost exclusively hybrid vegetables. Once in awhile you will see some heirloom veggies at the healthfood store, but this is the exception rather than the rule.
Now, I have nothing against organic produce from hybrid seeds. Hybrid is not to be confused with GMO, by the way.
If you're going to pay the premium for organic, however, you might as well go for the best tasting produce. This will almost always be the heirloom varieties and not the modern hybrids at the store.
George DeVault, executive director of Seed Savers Exchange, the leading nonprofit organization dedicated to saving and sharing heirloom and other rare seeds says:
"A lot of the breeding programs for modern hybrids have sacrificed taste and nutrition. The standard Florida tomato is a good example. Instead of old-time juicy tangy tomatoes, it tastes like cardboard. It was bred to be picked green and gas-ripened because that's what was needed for commercial growing and shipping."
Turns out that better taste means more nutritious too. We as consumers are paying a big price for the push by commercial growers for the higher yields and easier shipping (uniform size and ripening) provided by hybrid strains, particularly for organic produce.
I can tell you that organic produce from the store doesn't taste nearly as good as it did 20 years ago which tells me that nutrition is poor. If you've ever used a refractometer to test the nutrient density of produce, you know that better taste means higher nutrition, a contest which heirloom veggies easily win compared with hybrids.
In this video below, I demonstrate the difference between a typical organic store tomato and two heirloom varieties from a local organic farmer.
Seeing is believing! Find a local produce farmer that grows heirloom varieties in rich soil and start enjoying the superior taste and nutrition for yourself. Supporting the production of heirloom varieties in your local community also fosters independence for our farmers as heirloom vegetables are open pollinated which means the seed can be saved from year to year – saving the farmers an unnecessary expenditure each growing season.

Thanks for the knowledge. I always look for good heirlooms at the local farmers market. I've been eating them since I was 10. I still can't get enough of them!
Thank you for this informative video! So which is better: Heirloom that has been sprayed for bugs, or organic hybridized??? Thanks!
Heirloom tomatoes are wonderful but it is the variety of the tomato that determines its color, taste, etc. Some are green when ripe, some orange, some yellow, some pink, some dark red or black. It's all the variety. There are also some delicious hybrid tomatoes, Sungold comes to mind. It is, bar none, the most delicious cherry tomato you will ever taste. You won't find it in a store, you have to grow your own. There are many hybrids for the home gardener and the taste is out of this world. I grow mostly Heirlooms because I like that they are open pollinated, but there are some excellent hybrids that taste amazing and some Heirlooms that taste like nothing. I think what you really mean is that it's the insipid hybrids, bred just for transport and shelf life, that are to be avoided. Most of those you won't find in seed catalogues. If you have a balcony or a deck, you can grow amazing tomatoes. Just use pots.
am i correct to assume that not all heirloom tomatoes (or any vegetables/fruits) are organic??
is it "safer" to eat them than the organic hybrid ones?
Joel Blanchard
I ate what was quite possibly the best tasting tomato I'd ever had 2 days ago. It was a vine-ripened heirloom yellow tomato that I grew organically in my backyard and put in the refrigerator overnight to chill it. A little himalayan sea salt on it and mmmm !
In the spirit of love and giving I will mail some heirloom yellow tomato seeds to you for free! Just email your mailing address to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I couldn't agree with you more Sarah. Not that we need yet another reason to seek out heirloom varieties, but do you know about Mutation Breeding? It's a common practice, which I've heard is also used in organic production, in which seeds are exposed to chemicals or radiation in order to generate mutants with desirable traits to be bred with other cultivars. Health effects have not been adequately tested and I personally would rather avoid them. Sticking to heirloom varieties of foods is one way to do this.
Betty-Jean Johnson Conner via Facebook
We grow only heirloom vegetables using organic practices.
Have you seen the new Walmart commercial where they switch farmer's market fruits and veggies with Walmart fruits and veggies? Do they really believe that people go to farmer's market to get more symmetrical, jumbo fruits? I guess it's to convince the people who don't actually go to Farmer's Markets that they can be confident that their food is just as good.
Hobby gardeners dedicated to chemical free heirloom produce is your best, and cheapest source. Get to know, and support your neighbors that are dedicated to producing good healthy vegetables, dairy, meat, and eggs on as small scale.
Dorsey Clark
I don't know if these are organic or not but Publix sells the "Ugly Ripe" Tomato which is grown in Plant City. Once I tasted one of these, that is all I have purchased as it is just like you said….. the hybrids …. even organic…..taste like cardboard water.
FYI I did save the seeds and am growing them myself this year and they are going crazy. Last count I had 45 growing out there on 5 plants and there are many more flowers.
This is SO true! I don't like the taste of tomatoes… just tomatoes… but when we purchased heirloom organic tomatoes…. WOW I could eat them like an apple!
Jean | DelightfulRepast.com
Sarah, I love heirloom tomatoes but have grown them myself. You've inspired me – my next planting will be heirlooms!
Carol Whelan via Facebook
How do you find these farmers? I live in the Trinity Fl. area and there aren't any farms around here. I would be willing to travel to them however.
Marie Bower
Great video! Once you've tasted a locally grown good organic heirloom tomato, you'll never go back to the hybrid. Heirlooms have been bred for taste, resistance to disease and quantity output. Hybrids (organic or not) have been bred for beauty, shelf-life and transportability. The result is mush.
I've been growing brandywine heirlooms in my garden for years – saving seed each year. In this way, my tomatoes are now adapted to my soil and climate conditions. Ugly- maybe for some. It's fun to watch my guests' eyes pop out when they taste one. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Sarah ~ What is your opinion about purchasing heirloom seeds from a brochure? I currently have tomatoes I'm growing started from seeds advertised as heirloom.
Sarah ~ What do you think about growing vegetables from brochure purchased heirloom seeds? I currently have tomato plants I am growing in my veggie garden.
Cristina Marzullo via Facebook
knowledge is crucial these days especially when it comes to what produce and foods we are consuming…why pay $$$ for organic hybrid produce when you can get heirloom from your local farmers…
Robin Ann Imhof via Facebook
I think most people DO know that the organic produce is quite often a hybrid. It is exceptional to find organic produce that is also an heirloom or non-hybrid.
Sarah @ Politically Incorrect Health
I completely agree! Heirloom food tastes so much better! It is too bad it is more expensive. I have noticed it is really hard to find a good tasting tomato nowadays.
Lisa Pittman Bowman via Facebook
They also cost a lot more! Our food budget is already astronomical.
You're right, they're more expensive. But, you can buy an heirloom tomato plant for the cost of 1-2 tomatoes with the productivity of giving you 30lbs of tomatoes. (A packet of seeds is even far less cost.) If you don't have room for a garden, one tomato plant can easily be planted in a large pot.
Laura Lawson Gambrel via Facebook
Do you have suggestions on an organic fertilizer for my veggies?? Theyre doing okay but I'd love to up the output.
Composted manure is as good as anything. Pay attention as you drive around your neighborhood, where you see horses you will find horse manure. This manure can often times be had for the asking. If you like to fish composted fish is also good.
Stanley Fishman
Sarah, I could not agree more. The heirloom varieties taste so much better!
Breeding plants for shelf life and appearance instead of taste and nutrition is one of the worst mistakes our culture ever made.

The bill, which was pushed by Gov. Roy Barnes, innocuously changed the name of the State Tollway Authority to the State Road and Tollway Authority.
More significantly, it gave the previously obscure agency the ability to issue bonds backed by federal transportation grants. Until then, the authority could only sell bonds backed by the quarters, nickels and dimes drivers tossed into tollbooths.
The magnitude of the change -- if not the stakes for Georgia taxpayers -- began to become clear in June, when Barnes held a press conference unveiling an $8.4 billion plan to expedite 22 years of road projects in about a decade. Like governors before him, Barnes said he'd found a way to catch Georgia up with the rest of the South by putting 98 percent of rural residents within 20 miles of a four-lane, "developmental" highway. He said the program also would tackle Atlanta's air pollution by adding more HOV lanes, bus service in the suburbs and a light rail line from Midtown to Cobb County.
And he announced that he was naming a longtime buddy from his native Cobb County, Jim Croy, as the executive director of the revamped authority. SRTA, the governor declared, would take advantage of a new kind of federal grant to help finance the projects.
Croy had spent most of his career in Cobb County government, the last seven as director of the county's transportation department. In 1999, his old friend and brand new governor tapped him as transportation director for the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority.
But his new job is a doozy. He's spent the last nine months trying to figure out how to pay for all the roads Barnes wants to build.
Like most things Barnes, the expedited road-building plan was heralded across the state right after it was announced. The governor described it as a bridge between the haves in Atlanta and the have-nots in rural Georgia.
Few voices questioned the details. Environmentalists criticized it as a scheme to finance the $2.4 billion Northern Arc highway across Atlanta's suburbs. Georgia Conservancy Policy Director Michael Halicki got his juices going when he started asking questions about the financing; no one would specifically explain how the construction would be funded.
"What raised red flags for us was that the more we looked into the financing, the more we realized what they don't know about financing the transportation projects," Halicki says. "SRTA hasn't been very forthcoming as to what their plans are."
Despite the program's sketchy financing, only the Northern Arc has been singled out for serious opposition -- and even that opposition was scattered among the usual suspects of anti-road environmentalists. After all, it's not as if Joe Six Pack would bitch about using billions of dollars in federal funds to speed up road construction.
But Joe Six Pack might get a bit more concerned if he learned all those roads could cost him -- at the pump, in tolls, even possibly in the form of income taxes.
As with most other things in life, when it comes to roads, you get what you pay for, and you have to pay for what you get. Sort of.
Actually, more than $900 million in the state Department of Transportation budget comes each year from the federal government. But, for decades, the nagging issue over at the state DOT has involved the revenues that Georgians provide directly through the state's unusually low gas tax.
Georgia motorists pay 7.5 cents in taxes for every gallon of gas. A 3 percent sales tax, which is added at the pump to the final price, goes toward gas-tax collections as well.
This year, that's expected to bring in $662.3 million -- money that will be spent on just about everything road-related, from plugging potholes to paying the guys who pick up the trash on the side of the road. It's also used to pay for road construction and to pay off bonds.
One of the limitations of the gas tax is that it can't be used for anything having to do with mass transit, bicycle lanes or other transportation alternatives. The Georgia Constitution requires the money to be spent on roads.
Road builders, DOT bureaucrats, legislators, even governors have tried for decades to raise the gas tax. Even some environmentalists supported a 1992 proposal to increase the tax under the condition that some of the new funds go toward transit. Voters rejected the constitutional amendment that would have allowed that.
But road advocates haven't stopped beating the drum for more gas-tax money. One of the most recent was Charles Floyd, a University of Georgia business professor who has long championed developmental highways. In 1998, Floyd compared the previous 13 years of gas tax revenues to the miles of road the state is responsible for maintaining.

My husband and I stayed her two nights for our anniversary. It was so romantic and exquisite. The room was decorated so beautifully and the lady had fresh flowers and lit incense in our tent. There was enough privacy and hot water but soap/shampoo would have been nice. The water was shut off once but when we were about to check out. The bed was an actual queen size bed - not two twins pushed together like most places in Morocco. The lovely French couple who run the place are hip and super friendly! The picked us up in their Hummer, playing jazz, and took us to the camel guide for our one hour excursion. It was pretty cool! We felt taken care of. They have a cute Boxer named Tituf! The food is delicious. The ambiance is welcoming and the smell of frangipani wafts through the air. There are rose bushes and flowers all around -- it's like luxury camping in the middle of a botanical garden. The place is about 12 miles from the heart of Marrakech so it was a nice transition from the Middle Atlas mountains to downtown Marrakech.

NEW YORK CITY-For Wayne D'Amico, senior advisor at Lance Capital LLC here and principal of Wayne D'Amico & Co. Inc. in Essex, CT, being elected 2013 president of the CCIM Institute is the logical culmination of an involvement with the organization that began two decades ago. A 1989 graduate of New York University's Schack Institute of Real Estate, D'Amico tells GlobeSt.com that he identified CCIM early on as a way to obtain education that supplemented what he learned at NYU.
Beginning with his involvement in the governance of the local CCIM chapter in Connecticut, D'Amico began seeing the organization's real value when he met fellow designees at national gatherings. "I found myself in rooms with all sorts of practitioners from around the country," he recalls. "Some were street brokers in secondary markets; others worked for the major companies in major markets and others were corporate real estate executives. That's when I started to appreciate the opportunities that CCIM presented: to not just do what you do in your market or career path specifically, but also to create opportunities by expanding those horizons to the entire field."
Having rebounded from the industry downturn that set in over the course of 2007 and 2008, in the process hiring Henry White Jr. as CEO in 2010, the organization has been expanding its own horizons in recent years. "CCIM was originally sort of broker-centric; our books took some of the earliest understandings of IRR and FMIRR to the level that they are today," D'Amico says. "But we have evolved; about 40%-plus is now non-traditional brokers.
"We saw the opportunity to work with that growing, diverse membership group, which is everybody from appraisers to property managers, but also the institutional asset managers," he continues. "We've got Brandywine Realty Trust, TIAA-CREF and Liberty Property Trust in our ranks. We have corporate real estate within Walmart and Walgreens; we have the General Services Administration and GE Capital. Those are where we see the growth opportunities, but also a nice complement to our organization and membership."
Growth outside the US has also presented opportunities. "We've had success in delivering our education worldwide over the past seven or eight years; we have CCIM designees in more than 30 countries," says D'Amico. "We have programs in Poland and Russia. We're in China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, and we do very well." There are more than 1,000 CCIM designees outside the US, he adds.
As international markets have offered opportunities to expand CCIM's reach, the organization has trained its sights on how to maximize that potential. "Is the opportunity that people around the world want to know how we do it here in order for them to do it here, or is it that they want to know how we do things so that they can do them over there?" D'Amico asks. "Our mindset has been, 'let's bring our talents and resources and tools to these markets that are emerging,' and clearly that has been accepted. When you tweak, say, the tax codes and other things that are peculiar to that nation, you can create a very capable practitioner in the other country."
The sluggish rebound from the global recession continues to offer challenges as well as opportunities for CRE, but D'Amico thinks CCIM practitioners are especially well equipped to handle both. "When you're moving along at 1% to 2% growth, it almost feels like the train's not moving," he says. "From our standpoint, though, when you see transactions and understand market activity the way we've been trained as CCIMs, it gives you the ability to bob and weave."
For suburban office brokers, for example, "there hasn't been a lot of activity there in the past couple of years," D'Amico says. "So do you continue to bang your head against the wall, or do you look to where the activity is? Maybe in that same marketplace, they've seen a little more activity in, say, industrial. If you're in retail, there are users out there that clearly are into expansion: the home improvement stores, for example. When you're a CCIM, you look at those factors, no matter what the economy is, and try to move what you're doing to the area that's active."

When users searches and clicks a result, we store this search keyword in the DB. What we get is a list of keywords for every item with the number of times item was clicked for that keyword.
In solr schema I have multivalued field "keywords". How can I add that number of clicks for every keyword on every item and than boost so the most clicked items are on/near the top of results for that keyword ?
I use dismax and for the moment the query for "apple" looks someting like this:
qf=title^0.4 keywords:"apple"^0.5
bf=hits^0.4 rating^0.3
So as you can see I boost by "keywords" but the problem is that I don't know which item was most clicked for "apple".
I've tried adding boost parameter to every keyword on initial index import. It didn't help and I'm out of ideas.

Skip to comments.Boy Scout Magazine Going PC?
Posted on 09/01/2006 4:51:41 AM PDT by T-Bird45
RALEIGH Im never surprised to be hit in the face each morning with multicultural, victimization, support-group style reporting in my local papers. Thats the bread and butter of the mainstream media these days. But if any publication was going to resist the trend I figured it would be Scouting magazine. I was wrong.
Scouting bills itself as a family magazine published by the Boy Scouts of America. In the interest of full disclosure, Im a big supporter of the Boy Scouts of America, was an avid Scout as a kid and am the father of two Eagle Scouts. I like the Boy Scouts no-nonsense, no-guilt, in-your-face advocacy of God and country and its ideals as set forth in the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
Imagine my surprise, then, as I leafed through the latest edition of Scouting magazine yesterday. The cover story, Connecting Cultures, sets the mood. It tells how Scouting helps Asian-Americans become part of U.S. society while also maintaining cultural traditions. Also promoted on the cover are Boys with Autism Can Thrive in Scouting and A Bicycle Ride for Insight and Understanding.
The theme is found throughout the publication. A news brief chronicles one Boy Scout councils efforts to highlight the issues of hunger, health, and shelter. Another tells of a Cub Scout pack that was started for homeless boys. There are stories of Scout troops created for sons of incarcerated mothers and disadvantaged youth. Another story tells of a North Carolina man winning an award for exceptional service and leadership to Scouts with disabilities.
The Riding for Insight and Understanding story highlights a California councils program to help Scouts gain a deeper appreciation of different religious faiths. A bike ride took Scouts to 12 houses of worship, including an Islamic Center, where they heard an imam discuss the sixth point of the Scout Laws admonishment to be kind. Religion has always been a big part of Scouting, but only recently, it seems, is it assumed that Scouts wont tolerate other religions without this kind of assistance.
The Connecting Cultures Through Scouting tells the story of a troop of Chinese-American Scouts. We have many people from China, Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines, India, and Korea as well as Caucasians, Hispanics and Native Americans, one Scout leader said in describing the council of which this California troop is a part. While the council may be diverse, this featured troop most certainly is not. Is this an argument for segregation? Is this story saying it is better for troops to be homogenized rather than draw from many different cultures, races and religions?
In Boys With Autism Can Thrive in Scouting With Help, Cub Scout and Boy Scout leaders discuss how theyve dealt with Scouts with autism and pervasive developmental disorders. The story, written by the parent of an autistic child, encourages troop and pack leaders find ways to get autistic and developmentally disabled boys involved in Scouting.
Helping the disadvantaged, the homeless and the boys of the incarcerated are noble callings. Appreciating religions and cultural differences also are things a boy should be taught, preferably by his parents. I kept turning the pages to find articles about camping, hiking, first aid and lifesaving, anything that might make Scouting sound like fun instead of social work. Maybe theyll be in the next issue.
Jon Ham is vice president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of its newspaper, Carolina Journal.
For those who are unaware, this magazine is sent to all registered leaders while the boys continue to receive Boys Life.
BTW, I fully endorse and fit the author's second/disclosures paragraph.
It would be so much more fun if Scouts lived in their own privileged world and never learned a thing about helping other humans, as well as learning how to tie knots.
My son is a Scout. It has done him worlds of good. When I see what it's done for him--the wonderful experiences he's had, the confidence he's acquired, the leadership skills he's developing, the friends he's made--I'm sad that there are poor or homeless boys who can't take part because of the expense and the lack of opportunity. I also regret that there are local boys who do have enough money in their families but don't get involved in Scouting because it's not part of their cultural tradition. An effort to reach out to groups like these is not a bad thing at all. Being a part of Scouting can only make these children better Americans and better men. If that's a liberal philosophy, too bad. Scouting shouldn't just be for rich or middle-class white kids.
I haven't read my copy yet. Let's hope it's an abberation.
Let me correct myself. It's great that Scouts has special units for kids who don't completely fit the "norm."
However, I have a problem with a multicultural bike ride with a visit to the Imam. Right now, our nation is at war with large radical elements of the group the Imam represents. Too few Muslims have done any credible denials of the Islamofascists. Based on that, I would be very hesitant to inculcate any of my Scouts or my kids into aspects of the Islamic culture.
Sounds like you got a special one of a kind issue. What do you have against the scouts promoting to its scout leaders some of the outreach that the organization is doing to help the scouting movement and society. Do you really think the scout leaders need to be reminded about the fun of scouting?
Sounds like someone didnt learn from their parents about taking care of the disadvantaged, appreciating other religions and cultural differences. And since when is first aid and livesaving a fun activity.
There are two types of Scouting. Urban scouting is more service-oriented. Suburban and rural scouting is more skills and outdoor oriented.
The defunding of urban scouting has started to decimate its ranks. It could end up being a moot point. Scouting is HEAVILY dependent on funding these days. We have to pay the people who ask for funding and it isn't cheap.

The theme is found throughout the publication. A news brief chronicles one Boy Scout councils efforts to highlight the issues of hunger, health, and shelter. Another tells of a Cub Scout pack that was started for homeless boys. There are stories of Scout troops created for sons of incarcerated mothers and disadvantaged youth. Another story tells of a North Carolina man winning an award for exceptional service and leadership to Scouts with disabilities.
The ride to different religious houses sounds a little fruity, but I'm having a hard time figuring out why the rest of this is so bad. And are disabled kids somehow inherently inconsistent with "fun"?
Don't count on it. It's tragic, the way PC has infected Scouting in the West. A hideous cancer, that there's no longer something to be robustly proud of and instead, we should ingratiate ourselves in submissive apologetic displays, towards every minority group that comes down the pipe. At exactly the time when we should be proclaiming the message that the Scouting experience provides answers to problems ranging from childhood obesity to lack of respect for seniors. Old-time leaders like myself give the mag a quick scan to see if there's anything in there about someone we know and if not, it goes straight into the bin.
Once again, it seems that a lot of people, even those IN Scouting, miss the actual point of Scouting--to develop the leaders of tomorrow. Scout skills are still very much a part of the overall program, but, thank goodness, BSA has evolved to recognize that the leaders of tomorrow must have a broader training. I read the latest Scouting magazine yesterday, and, as a compassionate conservative (yes, we really do exist and pray for George Bush's success every day), I think it's great. Scouting has not abandoned its core beliefs, but it's broadening them. And exposing more people to this great value system!! I took a group of Scouts to a local mosque after 9-11...maybe we should all start infiltrating them since they've been doing the same to us all this time?!
Hitting the bottle early- or late?
Thanks for demonstrating my point, Hope.
Did you apologise to the imam for the way we provoked 9-11?
Are you really that much of a jerk who can't see the bigger picture here? Do you just want to ignore our enemies, or do you want to engage them and find out what they're doing? Blind liberals are one thing...but just as bad are ignorant conservatives like you.
At what point do you think you'll be able to 'figure it out', Sloth?
When Scouting publishes an account of a Troop visit to a gay Wiccan puppet theatre collective?
Good going.
Are these the manners you teach your scouts?
Maybe we should have the scouts set up camps just across the border from Mexico-- to help welcome the undocumented workers streaming across the borders by the thousands every day. They could "do a good turn daily" by handing out free water and food, while getting a dose of multiculturalism along the way. Two birds with one stone!
And what about practicing first aid on those poor, downtrodden undocumented masses? First Aid merit badge in no time!
Thanks Hope, but I can see the big picture just fine. Your little trip to the mosque is more Ward Churchill than Baden-Powell.
No. I have a special responsibility, towards my Scouts.
I reserve these 'manners' for your kind.
The Boy Scouts are their to make men of boys. I see these stories as documenting that progress and encouraging others.
I never had much of an opinion on Jon Ham, the John Locke Foundation, or the Carolina Journal before today. I do feel that before forming an opinion on someone or something it (or they) deserve at least a standard level of respect to begin with. However, after reading this article, I have lost whatever amount of respect that was for this man, this organization, and their publication.
If someone can do a better job than Mr. Ham and explain to me what the Scouts are doing wrong, then go ahead. Because I don't see anything bad going on here. Clearly, this author has missed the point of what the Scouting movement is all about.
Helping autistic kids = homosexual paganism?
Screw you.
Does anyone rememember why Baden-Powell founded the Boy scouts?
It was so that the children of urbanized England could get exposure to life in the rough as teenagers, and learn the survival skills that would stand them in good stead with the British army. It has evolved into a service organization, to help kids. As someone who's grandfather, father, myself, and sons' participated in Scout's, and worked as a volunteer leader myself, it's the challenge to the Scouts to learn and master skills that they would otherwise never be exposed to that makes Scouting interesting and rewarding. Exposure to multiculturalism is standard school fare. Building a rope bridge across a river is not. Be prepared isn't taught in schools, neither is do a good deed daily.And our education system forgot the whole trustworthy,loyal, helpful,.... Well you get the idea.
hehehe....I prefer, the old, practical, usable magazine ....Looks like Boy Scout Magazine, is sliding to Liberalism. :(
My article....."Lets Talk it Out: A Snake's Side of the Story"
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with maintaining cultural traditions, so long as they are within the bounds of U.S. culture. The problem is that so many new arrivals, legal or not, have no intention of assimilating.
Where does the author say that?
You said: It would be so much more fun if Scouts lived in their own privileged world and never learned a thing about helping other humans, as well as learning how to tie knots.
I think the emphasis of the post is that there was NOTHING about tying knots, camping, etc. in the edition of the publication referred to. It was ALL about diversity. The writer expressly states that the diversity references are good, but suggests that some entertainment and the "roots" of scouting be given at least fair treatment as well. I agree with him.
Scouting is about molding boys into Men of character... Cub Scouts = manhood 101
Boy Scouts = manhood 102
Scouting covers extremely broad areas... Scouting is different things to different kids, and its large and broad enough that they can explore all sorts of things and find the things they love and enjoy and also see and experience things outside their normal sphere.
Scouting has hardly gone PC... if it had, I know I certainly could not be a leader in it.
Now Girl Scouts on the other hand have completely betrayed their original mandate and now is basically run by a bunch of dykes and feminists at the highest levels that don't care a lick about raising women of character, just pushing political correct nonsense. Fortunately most local leaders are still reasonably sane, but the natioinal organization is doing its best to drive all semblence of traditional values out of the organization.
Baden-Powell also had great respect for other cultures and incorporated aspects of those cultures, like those of African tribes he encountered, into Scouting. I would much rather have the world exposed to Boy Scouting and its values than to have the Boy Scouts diminish in growth because of the fear of PC and of isolationism. Rascist and xenophobic Scout leaders do their Scouts so much more harm than good.
I'm sure all three will be distraught upon hearing this news.
And since taqiyah (sp?), or lying to the Infidel for the advancement of Islam is part of their heritage, you can never believe any Muslim anyway. The more devout, the more true.
Off topic, sorry! < /rant >
What interesting timing. I was just chatting with a colleague who has a son with PDD. She was just telling me what a blessing Scouting has been. Her son is a Webelos and loves the activities, loves the out-of-doors, loves being allowed to be a *boy* - none of which he's getting from his public school. I'd much rather young men learn good citizenship skills from an organization with a moral framework and tradition like the BSA than from an organization that is slave to a PC-driven agenda like the public schools. God Bless the BSA.
He mentions not one but two articles on scouting for disabled kids, then says he couldn't find "anything that might make Scouting sound like fun instead of social work." I.e., spending time around handicapped kids is a drag and only someone engaged in PC 'social work' would willingly do so.
Horse hockey, Sloth. The author doesn't say anything of the kind.
What he is saying, quite accurately, is that Scouting (and for that matter, the movement) is in danger of being swamped by multiculti touchy-feely BS. Guiding has sadly succumbed to that, as another poster accurately mentioned. We in Scouting need to guard against the dilution of Baden-Powell's message.
Respect, yes. Deference to, no.
From the sounds of this short article it does not sound as bad as what I was prepared to read. I think that the point that were made could be true with some kids and actually should be a positive look at it. A toubled kid joining scouts turns out to be a CEO of some big company. What is wrong with this type of story. I don't see anything PC about it. The bike ride to various churches was a little much but that was one troop that did that not the entire scouting program. I am not having heartburn over this story at this time unless I am not seeing something and an pointed out by a FREEPER.
Manhood 101 and Manhood 102. I use that in our recruiting flyers for our Pack and Troop.
Must be effective, we signed up 15 or so new Scouts last night. Our Pack/Troop is 100% Homeschooled, so our recuitment pool is a little smaller than normal. The new parents seemed to be highly engaged and excited about Scouting. I'm really geeked myself about this year.
As for the Boy Scouts, I very much appreciated your comments. Our son is long out of scouts, out of the army, and working hard.
The poster who suggested I was drunk is a very poor example of what I hope is not a scout leader. That would be a shame.
Broadening the experiences of young boys is a worthy goal and I certainly approve. (but what do I know)
Thank heavens my son didn't have a scout leader like 'your kind'.
Funny , I have never associated the words rascist and xenophobic with scouting, and all of my scouting experiences have been in the states of Georgia and Florida.
Certainly Scoutings International Jamboree was going on long before integration happened in mainstream society.
Bou Scout's Lead.
But we can't spell ( Boy Scout's Lead)
Ding- Ding- Ding
We have a winner. BP saw the effects of 'camp life' on conscripts in the Boer War (not the 1880-81 conflict) but the second Boer War of 1899 - 1902. His use of young boys during the siege of Mafeking give rise to information later found in Aids to Scouting for NCOs and Men.
Not a lot of scocial engineering in the book. It is about military skills and thinking for yourself.
To read BPs own words about the "WHY" of Scouting see http://www.dshearer.fsbusiness.co.uk/sctfiles/bp_talks.htm
Ask your Dist Commissioner, Council Commissioner or your DE about the 5 Unacceptables.
Five unacceptables: Drug abuse, child abuse, hunger, illiteracy, and youth unemployment. Your point?
Just wondered if you'd heard about them. How that is presented at Commissioner training symposiums, depending on the Council, can get a little PCish. It came to mind as I'm the presenter at an upcomming Council Commissioner Symposium.
I have stayed at the unit level and have not attended Commissioner training to observe how much PC creeps in to the presentations. I can certainly see the potential for PC to rise to lofty heights, depending on the facilitator.
Personally, I think regular program elements address these matters without "special emphasis" because each of the unacceptables are in conflict with the basic tenets and core values within the Scout Law and Oath.
I know, I'm struggling to keep the presentation clean of PCisms.

This paper compares the performances of the binocular cues of stereo and vergence, and the monocular cue of focus for range estimation using an active vision system. The performance of each cue is characterized in terms of sensitivity to errors in the imaging parameters. The effects of random, quantization errors are expressed in terms of the standard deviation of the resulting depth error. The effect of systematic, calibration errors on estimation using each cue is also studied. Performance characterization of each cue is utilized to evaluate the relative performance of the cues. Also discussed, based on such characterization, are ways to select a cue taking into account the computational and reliability aspects of the corresponding estimation process

Occupy MN: Vikings punter Chris Kluwe voices solidarity with 99 percent
Chris Kluwe is the Vikings' lovably off-the-wall punter, who is best known for his love of World of Warcraft and his bass playing for local metal band Tripping Icarus. When he puts on the pads and helmet, he's also a pretty good punter.
But now Kluwe's added another dimension to his varied repertoire. As of this morning's Pioneer Press, he's also an outspoken political thinker.
Talking with sports columnist Bob Sansevere, Kluwe first had to expand on a tweet which made a rather inarguable point about porn stars. But the more interesting quotes came when Kluwe was asked how he felt about the world in general.
"There's a very solid social inequality going on right now in terms of distribution of wealth," Kluwe said. "And I'd like to apologize for the rest of the 1 percent, as one of the 1 percent."
First, because we know how you people think, and we've already piqued your curiosity, let's get the porn star part out of the way.
Kluwe's tweet was in response to an ongoing controversy over New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who was spotted in a Twitter picture with adult film actress Bibi Jones. (That picture is making the rounds on the internet; for those curious, feel free to Google "Gronkowski," though you should only search Ms. Jones' name if you feel like getting fired.) Jones took advantage of her moment in the spotlight, explaining that she'd had flings with several married athletes, though pointing out she'd only spent a bit of time with Gronkowski.
After the controversy roiled for a few days, Kluwe decided he'd heard enough, and added his own commentary to the situation:
Kluwe followed this immediately with a reminder that he's married, and probably will not be appearing in any of Ms. Jones's upcoming pictures or films.

Minnesota is 10 games into its conference season, and hardly anything has been constant.
Andre Hollins went from a slumping shooter to a do-it-all leader whom Richard Pitino calls "the heart and soul" of his team. Mo Walker and Carlos Morris dominate one game and look flummoxed in the next. Nate Mason and DeAndre Mathieu have flipped roles twice.
Mo Walker couldn't stop thinking about his stat line at Nebraska on Jan. 20: Four points, four fouls and three turnovers.
In practice last week, coach Richard Pitino kept reminding him.
"Coach has really been on me about it. He's been making sly comments about it, but I try not to let it get under my skin," Walker said.
Facing the same Nebraska team Saturday, Walker quieted his coach. The redshirt senior center racked up a game-high 19 points, eight rebounds, three steals and two blocks to power the Gophers past Nebraska 60-42.
When Andre Hollins was slumping early on in Big Ten play as the Gophers started 0-5, he had to cope with a sobering fact.
"I wasn't helping them win," he said Saturday.
Now, he's the main reason Minnesota has been marginally successful in its past few games.
Don't look now, Gophers fans, but the Minnesota men's basketball team won two of its last three games in conference play following a 0-5 start in Big Ten play.
Beginning with Wednesday's matchup at Penn State, the next three games for the Gophers will be incredibly winnable and of dire importance.
After this stretch of matchups, Minnesota goes on the road for four of its next five games. Those matchups include Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan State.
When Bakary Konaté visited Minnesota as a recruit to watch the Gophers play Illinois last February, he was in for a surprise.
Konaté met Richard and Rick Pitino in Wichita, Kan., a few months earlier while enrolled at Sunrise Christian Academy under the assumption the father-son duo was recruiting him together — not for separate schools.
Illinois' Malcolm Hill drove to the baseline early in the second half and cocked the ball back behind his head, preparing to dunk over Bakary Konaté.
No dice.
Instead of being flushed through the rim, the ball was blocked out of bounds.
But it wasn't Minnesota's 6-foot-11-inch center that swatted the would-be dunk into the stands. It was Andre Hollins, a 6-foot-2-inch guard who's widely regarded as a one-dimensional sharpshooter, who darted from the weak side for the block.
Minnesota's slow start to conference play is due to a variety of reasons.
Rutgers head coach Eddie Jordan called the close losses "bad luck."
Iowa's Fran McCaffery said the Gophers' Big Ten schedule "wasn't kind to them coming out of the gate."
Holding sharpshooter Terran Petteway to 11 points on 4-for-12 shooting would usually be enough to beat Nebraska.
But conventional wisdom doesn't apply to the Gophers right now.
Not when they keep losing winnable conference games by five points or fewer. Not when they shoot 31 percent from the field. Not when DeAndre Mathieu, the heart and soul of last year's NIT championship team, keeps missing game-tying shots after improbably losing his starting spot to freshman Nate Mason.
The last few weeks have been rough for Andre Hollins.
He shot 28 percent or lower in Minnesota's first five conference games, all of which were losses. Iowa's Jarrod Uthoff hit a game-winning shot in Hollins' face, and the local media hinted at him being part of the Gophers' problem.
But on Saturday, Hollins was a major piece of the solution as Minnesota (12-7, 1-5 Big Ten) topped Rutgers 89-80 for its first conference victory of the season.
