Jonathan Corbet is an active kernel contributor, co-founder and president of Linux development community news site LWN.net, and the lead author of Linux Device Drivers, Third Edition.
His renowned Kernel Report has been presented to audiences worldwide, and this year in Melbourne will mark his fourth appearance at Linux.conf.au, to be held in Melbourne, Australia, for six days from 28 January.
Here, Corbet offers a sneak peek at this year's Kernel Report.
Q: What is the main theme of your talk at Melbourne's Linux Conference? A: The real purpose of my talk is to bring attendees up to date with regard to what is happening in the kernel development community. It is a fast-moving project which is very hard to keep up with - the Linux-kernel mailing list, alone, can run up to 500 highly technical messages per day. I do follow this community, though, and have gotten reasonably good at summarising what is happening there - and making hand-waving predictions about what will be happening in the near future.
Q: How has the kernel development process gone over the past year? What were the major happenings? A: The process is running quite smoothly, with four major kernel releases (2.6.20 through .23) being made, and 2.6.24 being brought close to release. I anticipate it will come out just before linux.conf.au begins.
Major events over the last year include the incorporation of several virtualisation implementations (KVM, Lguest, Xen), the dynamic tick patches, a completely new wireless networking stack, the CFS process scheduler and much, much more.
Q: Is the patch flow rate continuing at a high rate? A: It is, in fact, increasing, with the 2.6.24 kernel having the highest patch rate yet. Almost 10,000 separate change-sets were merged in this development cycle, resulting in the addition of about 300,000 lines of code and the modification of many more. One big change - the merger of the i386 and x86-64 architecture code - accounted for a lot of patches, but it was still a tiny part of the whole.
Has the number of developers contributing increased? And has the breakdown of who they work for changed much since last year's Kernel report? A: The number of developers is approximately the same - over the course of one year, about 2,000 individual developers will contribute at least one patch to the kernel.
I have an unquantified sense that more of these developers are being more active, though. Once upon a time, the top 20 developers were responsible for a large majority of the code going into any given kernel release; now they barely do 20 percent. When the kernel summit program committee tried to identify the 70 or so most important developers, we had a very hard time narrowing down the list. The development community is quite broad and is becoming more so.
Q: Are there any new big companies paying for development? A: The list of companies has stayed relatively static, though it does get shuffled a bit from one release to the next, depending on what gets merged into the kernel in that cycle. One recent addition is Movial, which has hired a very active kernel developer and immediately found its way onto the top-20 list.
Q: Which companies would you like to see participating or participating more? A: I'm not going to name specific companies. But the embedded Linux area as a whole continues to suffer from a relatively low level of involvement in the development process. There are a number of reasons for that, and it is not that hard to understand why managers in those companies might conclude that community participation makes little business sense. But the long-term result is that the interests and needs of those companies have relatively little influence in how the kernel is developed.
So many of us have been trying to carry a message to embedded Linux companies for a while now: If you do not want kernel development to favour large, enterprise deployments over your own needs, you need to join the party and help ensure that next year's kernel will be suitable for next year's products. In the process, you'll get better code and the many benefits that result from letting the community help you make your products better.
There are signs that some companies are beginning to hear that message, but we have some ground to cover yet.
Q: Your notes on the previous Kernel Report read, "Some fear that kernel quality is declining: Bugs not getting fixed. Too many features added too quickly. Too little stabilisation time. Kernel developers tend not to agree, but everybody agrees fewer bugs would be better." How has this situation changed this time around? A: In a sense, the situation has not changed at all. There have been no major development process adjustments aimed at reducing bug counts, and the flow of features into the kernel continues unabated.
Some developers still worry that the kernel is slowly deteriorating, and that we will wake up one day and find that things have gone too far, that our kernel is unreliable and that our reputation for quality is gone.
Behind the scenes, though, quite a bit is happening. There is an increasingly fierce focus on preventing regressions and fixing them when they do happen, even if that means backing out features that others want. The reasoning goes like this: if everything which worked before continues to work in the future, it is hard to argue that the quality of the kernel is declining. But if things are allowed to break, then nobody knows for sure.
In support of this effort we have people tracking regressions, working on tools to find or prevent bugs, writing test suites and more. There is also an increased focus on ensuring that patches are properly reviewed before being merged into the mainline. A lot is happening to make the kernel better. I am confident that, five years from now, we will say that we were able to accept unprecedented amounts of new code at a sustained rate for years while improving the quality of the final product.
Q: Do you still think that Linux distributions should be deciding on when a feature is stable enough to be included into one of their release kernels? A: Of course -- why would a distributor ship code which it is not confident of being able to support? Perhaps your question is: Is there a problem with features going into the kernel which are not sufficiently stable for distributors to enable? My belief is that this is not happening. By the time a feature makes it into the mainline, it has already seen a significant amount of testing -- enough to be usable by the more adventurous distributors. By the time the enterprise distributions get around to shipping a given kernel, the final problems will generally have been worked out of it.
To my knowledge, there have been very few features merged into the mainline which are then disabled by distributors shipping a given release. This is especially true of core features -- device drivers will always be a little more variable in their readiness. What happens instead is that distributors will ship code which has not yet made it into the mainline -- the real-time patch sets are a classic example here. So I do not think that distributors are being asked to pick and choose between questionable features in the mainline kernel.
Q: What are some of the most important works going on now in the kernel? A: After a long period of relative quiet, a lot is happening in the file systems area. The ever-increasing size of storage devices is putting some real stresses on current file systems, and the lead time for new file systems can be quite long. File system developers tend to be very conservative folks -- the consequences of file system bugs tend to be particularly unpleasant. So the file systems we'll be using five years from now need to be under development now. The good news is that there are some very interesting projects in this area, a number of which will be represented at linux.conf.au.
The real-time patch set is another interesting area. Real-time performance is useful in a number of surprising places. Banks need it, for example, to be able to guarantee response times to trading requests. When getting an order in a few milliseconds late results in the loss of real money, people pay a lot of attention to response times. Much of the real-time work has found its way into the mainline over the last couple of years, but there is still a lot waiting to be merged. But distributors are shipping it now, and I expect we'll see a lot of it heading toward Linus over the coming year.
Finally, improving hardware support is always an important area of work. Over the course of the next year, though, we will see free drivers for most wireless networking chips and most video adapters, which are traditionally the areas with the most problems. This is happening as a result of an extensive reverse-engineering effort and a change of mind-set at certain vendors. By the end of 2008, I think, most of the hardware hassles will be behind us.
Q: Do you think the current scheduler is doing OK, or is there still room for improvement? A: There's always room for improvement. But I have to say that the complete replacement of the process scheduler appears to have gone quite smoothly. There have been very few complaints so far. That may change as the CFS scheduler makes its way out to more users (most non-developers won't be running it yet), but the fundamental structure appears to be quite sound.
Q: Can you see a tighter integration with ZFS [Sun Microsystems' file system] happening now that the flame wars have settled down a little? A: No. The licensing for ZFS is not compatible with GPLv2, so that code can never make it into the mainline kernel.
There are also software patents involved, and Sun does not appear to have any desire to license those patents for the Linux kernel. So there will not be ZFS in Linux in the foreseeable future.
Q: What distribution do you use on your own machines, and do you use the distribution-supplied kernel on them or not? A: I run a different distribution on every machine I have, just as a way of seeing what everybody is up to. I also try not to endorse specific distributions. I will say, though, that the desktop that I'm typing on at the moment is running Rawhide -- the Fedora development repository. The laptop I'll take to linux.conf.au has Ubuntu Gutsy, though I may jump onto the Hardy development repository before I travel. Development distributions keep me on the front line of the development process, which is a fun and sometimes terrifying place to be.
Once upon a time, I built custom kernels for every machine I deployed; back in the early 1.x days it was almost mandatory. Now I stick with stock kernels on most machines. My desktop is always running the current development kernel, though, so that I can be part of the testing community and make changes of my own. I have a strong belief that, while any testing is good, the best testing is using the software to get real work done. There's a lot of problems which just don't come up in any other situation.
Q: Do people want more Dtrace or have they accepted SystemTap is the way to go? A: What people want is a rock-solid tracing facility that is usable by operations staff. Dtrace has a lot of the needed features, so people ask for it. I believe that, in many ways, SystemTap is an even more powerful mechanism than Dtrace, but it is currently rough around the edges and difficult to use. So, in a very real sense, SystemTap does not, at this time, satisfy the needs being expressed by a wide range of users.
The good news is that work is being done to make SystemTap better. As we used to say in engineering school: the first 90 percent is done, now the developers just have to do the other 90 percent of making it usable. To that end, features like static markers have recently gone into the mainline kernel, making it possible to create a standard set of trace points that anybody can use without having to actually know the kernel code. A year from now, SystemTap (and the other tracing packages currently under development) should be more than good enough. I hope. But we're not there now.

I'm still coming into understanding the conversation on appropriation but as I just started to get a grasp on it a new conversation has come up which is challenging that understanding. The emerging conversation is about African American's cultural appropriation of African culture.
I'm still figuring out my position. After reading some articles and talking to peeps born/raised on the continent I see the frustration but I don't know if it's appropriative. But context is important. I think my being an Afro-Caribbean-Canadian adds an intersection that changes the conversation for me. The issue I've heard the most is Afro-American privilege/ignorance towards Africa which mirrors white supremacy in how it views Africa. I think the conversation is going to be different in the context of places like Toronto where there's more of a merger between African cultures from the diaspora and the continent. I also think Afro-Caribbean culture has stronger ties to African culture than African American culture and thus more fit for cultural exchange to occur rather than appropriation.
I'm still trying to understand the issue and developing my opinions on the topic, but its such an important conversation to have. Its helping me understand cultural appropriation more, and also helping me envision what cross cultural exchange within black communities will look like and what issues have to be addressed in order to make way for it.
Heres an article: Black America, please stop appropriating African clothing and tribal marks.

Judah Friedlander's standup was hilariously entertaining at his Limelight & Accents-sponsored performance on Saturday Oct. 26 in Kuhl Gym, but he lacked the style and relevance of many other modern comedians. Friedlander is most famous for playing Frank Rossitano on the TV show "30 Rock," a similar role to his stand-up persona. His acting work spans back to the late '90s and includes roles in films ranging from Zoolander to Wet Hot American Summer. His talent is obvious and seems to work best in a cast among other funny people.
Friedlander's appearance distinctly reminds one of the cult classic film Clerks, as his uniform is a disheveled "World Champion" T-shirt and jeans with a "World Champion" hat. Think a hipster but middle-aged and doughier. His jokes mirror his physical appearance.
The show's content varied, but the approach was consistent. Friedlander used non-sequitur humor as the driving point. The problem with this device is that it does not make for an incredibly funny joke let alone entertainment for an entire show. Friedlander does pull it off well, all things considered.
The show was an appropriate choice for Parents Weekend compared to Adam Trent's comic/magic show in August, which was funny as well but a bit too saucy for parents looking at where and what their money is going toward.
Friedlander never breaks his persona, similar to Will Ferrell's approach to comedy; there is a persistent fourth wall of sorts between Friedlander and his audience, even though he directly addresses them.
His jokes ranged from situational to modern pop culture and politics. He played off the audience well and stayed relatively neutral in an American climate that is sensitive to political and religious humor even in the context of jest. Friedlander poked fun at topics usually inappropriate to mention due to his maintained persona.
In reference to other artists, Friedlander does not bring anything new or noteworthy to the field. Louis C.K. dominates this realm of comedy with simplicity and a spontaneous approach that works without a persona; his jokes speak for themselves, as he is just an average-looking, middle-aged white guy.
Friedlander's style is required for his content. Friedlander doesn't reach the roaring levels of absurdity that Zach Galifianakis does, for example; rather, he is much more mellow and calm, which is vital to his persona but could be holding him back compared to modern comedians like Steve Carell and Will Ferrell.
Friedlander's personality would be better suited in a group dynamic as a component rather than the single focus of a performance. That's why he's so great in "30 Rock."
The show was worth seeing, but in a realm of Netflix and digital standup with tons of new comic players developing an individual style in the last few years, it's difficult to imagine Friedlander's staying power in this sphere. Friedlander is funny, but the current times call for more than that to garner the full attention of American audiences.

Athletes MUST be academically eligible. Anyone ineligible for more than THREE weeks (combined) will be dismissed from the team. Reason: If they are ineligible, they cannot compete. If they cannot compete we cannot depend on them. Athletes are expected to come to practice and workouts and take part in all team activities except competitions during the ineligible period. An athlete will be ineligible if they have three or more D's or one or more F's.
Any athlete caught using or pictured with tobacco, drugs or alcohol at any point in the year will be suspended (minimum 1 competition) and possibly dismissed from the team at the discretion of the coach. Violations will be considered on a case by case basis and punishment will be at coach Stenbeck and Clark's discretion after inquiry is made.
Any violations of school rules up to and including consistent classroom disruption will be considered violations of team rules and will be subject to consequences during the season or upcoming season as necessary.
If an athlete misses practice, please email coach Stenbeck or Clark and excuse that absence. We operate under the assumption that if you pay $150 and WANT to be a part of the team you will make it a priority to be there. We recognize that our student-athletes have the need to miss practice occasionally. All we ask is that student-athletes take the personal responsibility to let us know what they need in terms of missing practice. If you miss a lot of practice without us knowing the reason behind it, don't be surprised if you are not entered in meets and we essentially move on without you.
If an athlete displays any type of unsportsmanlike conduct at a competition or online, they will be suspended from competition for the next scheduled meet and could result in demotion from Varsity or Junior Varsity. Athletes can also be suspended from competition due to inappropriate behavior during team practices and functions and online videos or posts.
Character matters on this team. Certainly we understand that student-athletes make mistakes and poor choices. We understand that there can be a need for second chances and or moments to let student-athletes learn and have personal growth from mistakes they make. Taking ownership of mistakes and behaviors is an extremely valuable character trait for a student-athlete. A bad moment that is "out of character" where the student athlete takes ownership for behavior or mistake is something where there might be room for a discussion. Overall, We will consider the "body of work" when it comes to character issues on the team. Repeated negative issues, toxic attitudes and habits, poor effort and lack of concern and respect for teammates, coaches, teachers, administration and the community at large is something we won't tolerate. Dismissal form the team is always an option should we feel it the best for team.
Any violation of team rules will be looked at on a case-by-case basis and once the coach makes inquiry, discipline will be handed out. Coaches Stenbeck, Hitzges and Clark reserve the right to dismiss anyone from the team should they deem it appropriate for the overall well-being of the team.
If an athlete requires a visit to the doctor for any reason deemed serious by the coach, which is not limited to but could include, heart problems, Brain injury, severe bone or skin injuries, chronic sickness…the athlete must obtain a medical release from the physician in order to participate in practice and the meets.
The vast majority of the time the Varsity athletes will be determined by the performance of the athlete. The same will apply to the JV. Varsity, Junior Varsity. Positions are subject to change at the discretion of the coach. Often times factors for changes or substitutions include practice time attended, injury, sickness, and attitude of the athlete. Varsity and Junior Varsity positions could also be determined based upon the habits, dedication, improvement, and overall team commitment of the athletes. Should there ever be a tie by two athletes that determines the final spot on Varsity or Junior Varsity, the coach has the right to break the tie by use of any of the following…analysis of previous race performances and situations, a run off of any distance chosen by the coach or a coin flip.
Varsity letters are awarded based on the following criteria:
Cross Country
Track and Field
A further note on Lettering...Athletes must show dedication to the team. While we accommodate multi-sport athletes, a considerate and respectful effort must be made by all athletes to be at practice and to compete in meets for the ENTIRE year. A helpful and positive attitude toward the team is a relished trait that coaches hope to see in their student-athletes. The team needs to matter if you are part of it and student-athletes should make it a priority if they are going to be a part of the team. This DOES come into consideration when we decide on awarding Letters at the end of the year.
Athletes must finish the season to be eligible for end of season awards.
Uniforms must be worn as provided. Running shorts may not sag (must be worn appropriately above the waist) boxer shorts should not be exposed. Jerseys should be tucked into shorts.
What to expect in terms of COST to be in Cross Country and Track and Field....
Athletic fee: $150
Running Shoes: $100-120
Racing Shoes: $40-60
Fundraisers: &15-100 (typically we have a Chipotle night and a 5k with our football team in early August where we look to get each family to recruit friends and family to run in the 5k and pay the $25.00 registration fee per person...all the money going to the program)
Optional Costs:
Team Gear $10-45
Team travel $0-150 (depends on where the team has decided to travel for that year and if you choose to go. ALWAYS OPTIONAL for all athletes)
coaches email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Transportation during season:
Cross Country
Buses are provided to and from meets that are not local during the season.
Off campus practice does happen, Parents/students must be responsible for transportation to practice.
Buses are provided for freshman track meets at Jefferson County stadium.
Buses vary throughout year for track meets based on team needs and location of meet.
Off campus practice happens once or twice weekly in order to get to a track. Carpools are HIGHLY encouraged for student-athletes.
Due to the nature of the sport and our philosophy, no "cuts" will be made and thus no athletes will be denied the opportunity to participate and compete based upon the number of athletes.
Beginners to the program
As you begin in the sports of Track and Field and Cross Country at Dakota Ridge it is important to remember a few principles…
First and foremost this should be fun…if you start not having fun and end up miserable, please communicate that and come discuss with one of the coaches.
Always be smart with your efforts…it's better to just follow the schedule and get things going and build up gradual until you can do more work.
Ideally you will stay injury free, but should you have an ache or pain please follow the "Injury Protocol" outlined in the document "Injury Protocol".
We recommend a good pair of shoes to start
While it will be tempting to do more than what's on the schedule below and jump in with folks who have already been running and training, PLEASE avoid overdoing it. Again, just follow the schedule and do what we have laid out in this schedule for you.
Weeks 1-3
Based on where you are coming from we will get you going with a level of running that will meet your needs. For example…if you are a soccer player and are trying Track or Cross Country, we will be able to get you running a little more to start then someone who is coming out for the team that has never run or played a sport before.
For non-distance events we will get you going with technique and basic beginner workouts.
For distance and Cross Country In general the first three weeks we will get you running about 10-20 minutes 3-4 times a week and you will need to learn how to do strides and the Core routine that we have outlined for the team.
Weeks 4-6
We will start give you a little more running and working out to do during the next three week stretch and if we are in the season we will have you compete.
Distance athletes you can expect to start to push your longest run to about 30 minutes and if not competing yet you will do a workout or two.
You can expect to run a lot of simple easy runs/workouts to get you started in your running/track career. The most important thing is to stay in communication with the coaches on how your feeling.
1. Support your student athlete and attend as many contests as
2. Avoid putting pressure on your student athlete to start, score, or
be the star of the team.
3. Support the coaches in public around other parents and fans.
4. Avoid speaking negatively about the coaches in front of your
student athlete.
5. Understand the ultimate purpose of athletics. It exists as an
integral part of the total education mission of the school and
participation in athletics is a privilege, not a right.
6. Serve as a good role model for students, athletes and other fans.
7. Contribute as members of the booster club. This means
volunteering to help with projects and committees.
8. Appreciate the educational opportunity that your student athlete
is receiving in our athletic program. This includes the enormous
time and effort provided by the coaches.
9. Attend the pre-season parents meeting.

Location: Trellis Bay, BVI
Today we dove an airplane wreck and made a final stop at port before leaving for St. Kitts.Waking up at 6:45 to raise anchor, we enjoyed delicious pancakes on a short motor from Gorda Sound to Great Dog before arriving at our dive site. Everyone got to dive an airplane wreck and our Open Water divers also finished their last certification dive. Raising anchor for the second time we traveled to Trellis Bay – from there our Captain Tor went to clear us out of customs; Carolyn, Kaitlin and Aaron went provisioning for our food for the next week, and the rest of us got to explore what the area had to offer. As soon as we stepped foot back on the boat we started passage prep for our 120-mile passage ahead. After a dinner of fish tacos we split up into watch teams, learned how to do a boat check, and then lifted and anchor and raised the sails as we finally began our passage for Saint Kitts.Today was a good day.

Two giant smartphone manufacturers mix it up in a Delaware federal court
Fifty days after Nokia (NOK) sued Apple (AAPL) for allegedly stealing its intellectual property, Apple has returned the favor.
Nokia's suit, filed in October, claimed Apple was infringing on 10 patents Nokia holds on the integration of GSM, UMTS and wireless LAN — technologies at the heart of Apple's iPhone.
In a press release issued Friday morning, Apple claimed in turn that Nokia has infringed on 13 of its patents. Digital Daily has posted a list of the disputed patents, as well as the company's 78-page filing. (Download it here.)
His words echoed Nokia's rhetoric, when it charged Apple with trying to get a "free ride on the back of Nokia's innovation."
Apple shares closed at $194.67 down 1.76 points (0.9%) for the day. Nokia gained $0.25 (1.99%).
Below the fold: Excerpts from Apple's suit:

In our quick tips series we want to give you some very brief but very useful tips to maximise your track / song post-production.
These are definitely not the be all and end all of the production world, however they should definitely help.
Once you have composed, produced, and mastered your track you need to get it online so that your global audience can have a listen to it.
Today's industry-standard way to get a track or song online is by using Soundcloud. This is a fairly simple way to get your song uploaded as all you need to do is upload the audio file directly to the website. (Approx 6 million active listeners per day per TechCrunch)
However, YouTube is perhaps the location that music producers don't immediately think of because of it's direct link to video rather than audio. The global audience within YouTube is significantly larger than Soundcloud (approx 33 million active watchers per day per youtube.com), so it is definitely worth getting your production work on to this platform as well.
The quick video guide below shows how to transfer your audio demo into a video so that you can upload it to YouTube. The process shown is an offline version of what is offered by mixtovideo.

The Yugoslavian Region-
It's challenging philately and perplexing culture
By Mike Lybarger, Badger Stamp Club
Mike Lybarger has written feature articles for ATFP in the past (September 1997 and January 1999). He recently retired from his position of professor of history and political science at Edgewood College in Madison, Wl.
The NATO air strikes that broke out in Yugoslavia on March 24, 1999, likely sent many philatelists scurrying to their albums in an effort to gain some familiarity with the Balkan states. Since a nation's stamps generally reflect its history and culture, some may even have been searching for clues as to what perpetrated this latest conflict between Serbia and the Kosovo province. While there are some clues to be found on stamps of this region, a tremendous void still exists.
Yugoslavia itself has issued many stamps since its formation in 1918-19 encompassing the republics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Macedonia, and Montenegro. Stamps of these Yugoslav entities, however, are few and far between (see listing on p. 7). Because of their constant state of war, they rarely have been in a position to administer their own postal services. Such discord makes it extremely difficult to trace the histories of these countries through philately. Connecting the dots between overprints to determine occupation and autonomy status, name and boundary changes is indeed a challenge.
For example, Figure 1 shows a 1910 Bosnia and Herzegovina issue with a Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (C.X.C.), 1918 overprint.
Figure 2 depicts King Peter I of Serbia on a 1925 general issue for use throughout the kingdom. Peter I reigned over the region until his death in 1921.
In 1929, the territory of the six united' republics was renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, meaning "Land of the South Slavs." In 1945, the area was proclaimed the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia; and in 1953, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Finally, following the 1991-92 secession of four of the original states, the remaining Serbia and Montenegro declared themselves the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
A further philatelic challenge is deciphering the Cyrillic alphabet used by these countries and the questionable collectibility of their stamps. But that's another story.
What remains is the more underlying question of why all the discord? Why such madness, carnage, and destruction have become a part and parcel of life in what some people call "heavenly Serbia."
To begin, let's go back to "Never again." That vow, uttered by individuals and nations at the conclusion of World War II, meant that never again would Europe permit the wholesale massacre of religious and ethnic groups.
When, in 1946, Churchill spoke about an "Iron Curtain" descending across Europe, he was referring to a condition between Eastern and Western Europe antedating the 20th century. Eastern and Western Europe have always been different. For example, Eastern Europe has never experienced a reformation or a renaissance, both of which have shaped the history of the West for more than four centuries.
After World War I, most of the nations of Western Europe and many in Eastern Europe installed liberal or democratic governments, but only in the West did these take hold. With the exception of Czechoslovakia and Poland, most nations in Eastern Europe moved toward authoritarianism between the wars.
Even in religion, each of the nations went its own way; there were struggles between Orthodox, Slovenian, Roman Catholic, Serbian and Muslim.
To fully understand why this happened, we need to endeavor to come to grips with what Paul Mojzes calls the mythic elements of Yugoslavian history. There is first the myth of land and blood. The land is sacred wherever people of a particular ethnic group live.
The second important myth is the one that turns defeats into victories and is called the crucifixion and resurrection myth. If a people are steadfast in the face of suffering, the songs they sing transform the defeats they suffer and will turn their present defeats into future victories. It seems safe to say that in Yugoslavia today most people learn their history through poems and songs.
The third - and perhaps the most important mythic element - is that time is understood mythologically rather than chronologically. Past and present are so intermixed that a grievance of 700 years duration is viewed as a present grievance requiring action and redress now.
Finally, the fourth myth. The only way a people who have been oppressed can regain their honor and self-respect is by means of war and its glorification. Like the Irish of years past, many people in Yugoslavia today do not want to win their freedom too easily - they want to fight for it.
It is relatively easy to understand how the states, which in 1918-19 became Yugoslavia had vastly different social, economic, political, and religious histories. Moreover, these people swing between freedom and servitude, slavery and liberty, love and hate.
What is not easy to understand is what Mojzes calls "the heritage of horror and savagery that is an element of the everyday world of the Balkans." Two examples will suffice here.
In 1014 the Emperor Basil defeated the forces of Tsar Samuel of the Bulgarian-Macedonian state. Basil had captured 15,000 Bulgarian-Macedonian soldiers.He divided his captives into groups of 100. In each group of 100 he blinded 99 of these men; the 100th man was blinded in one eye only so that he could lead his 99 blind comrades home. When Tsar Samuel beheld his army, he fainted and two days later died. The site of this atrocity is today called Ocevad, which means "dug out eyes."
Another act of savagery is recounted from the life of Starina Novak, a celebrated hero of the Serbs, who was a man of unspeakable cruelty not only to strangers but to his own family as well. A Serbian folk song tells how Starina's son, Grujica, sought permission from his father to murder his mother. Grujica killed his own mother by cutting off her right breast and both arms. With his father, he set the body on fire and warmed his hands on the fire.
Most people tend to give preference to their own group and suspect the motives of strangers. Christ himself urged people to take the log from their own eyes before trying to remove a splinter from their neighbor's eye.
Any outsider would have great difficulty in seeing any physical difference between the people of the Yugoslavian region. For the most part we in the West are used to the metaphor of the good guy and the bad guy.
Finally, we need to ask the question of what the current conflict in this area is all about? Clearly it has been about defending national liberty and territory. It has not been about protecting the value of human life. This war has been about individuals' cherished ideas - or ought to be. It has not been about compassion and liberty for the lives lost at present.
This has been a war about gaining propaganda advantages. It has not been about telling the truth. .
This has been a war of settling accounts. It has not been about building a life based on honesty and decency among human beings.
This has been a war about cruelty and survival at any cost. It has not been about acknowledging the terror and the feeling of empathy with the victims.
This has been a war about differences in religion, ethnicity, and culture. It has not been about faith in God or human beings.
This has been a war in which a bride has been wedded to her fiance at his funeral so she may bear his child.
This has been a war in which atrocities akin to those of Emperor Basil and Starina Novak have been committed. Although they have been videotaped, they've not been re-ported in the news.
This has been a war in which a 17-year-old may write from Zagreb: "You should know that no matter how often this land is trampled upon, Croatia cannot disappear. It would continue even if it had only five inhabitants. I hope to hear from you."
I began with the post-World War II ejaculation "Never again." I conclude with the words of the Greek poet Aeschylus: "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." •

Donald K. "Deke" Slayton - A Wisconsin Hero
By Daniel G. Hammell. Janesville and Walworfh Stamp Clubs. Wisconsin Postal History Society
The following is a prelude to a feature article about the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, which will appear in the April issue of ATFP.
The year 2000 is the 25th anniversary of one of the more momentous events of the decade of the 1970s - namely the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. For over three years, dozens of people in the world's two most powerful countries had labored together redesigning and rebuilding the communications and control systems and the tracking and the docking system so the nearly perfect flight of the spacecraft could take place.
Wisconsin's Deke Slayton (1924-93) was a part of that project. Slayton was born and grew up in Leon, near Sparta, WI. He graduated from Sparta High School and immediately joined the Army Air Forces. He became
a medium bomber pilot and during World War II flew 56 missions in the Italian area and another seven in the Pacific theater.
After the war, Slayton attended the University of Minnesota and in just 2'/z years earned a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering. As part of his Air Force career, he became a test pilot and finally was chosen as one of the original group of Mercury astronauts. A subsequent heart murmur, however, disqualified him from ever flying in that mission. He remained with NASA serving as director of flight crew operations until his heart condition improved and he received certification to join as the third man for the Apollo-Soyuz flight.
At the conclusion of that successful flight, Slayton helped develop NASA's space shuttle program. Due to a recurring heart condition, though, he never flew in space again. He left NASA in 1982 to set up his own business and fly racing planes. Slayton died from cancer in 1993.
Sparta, WI, is the home of the Deke Slayton Memorial, which is housed in Sparta's Space and Bike Museum. The museum is located at 200 West Main St. Hours are Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. - closed on holidays. •

Wisconsin Precancels
By Thomas Sanford, Central Wisconsin Stamp Club
Tom Sanford began collecting precancel stamps in 1960. He is a very active member of the Precancel Stamp Society, currently serving as that group's Wisconsin editor. Tom writes at least six articles a year for the Precancel Forum, the monthly PSS publication.
He has produced three precancel publications of his own: a general Wisconsin local precancel catalog, a complete listing of the printed dated precancels used by Montgomery-Ward, and a checklist of the precancels of Belgium.
Tom is also a member of the Wisconsin Postal History Society, American Philatelic Society, and Bureau Issues Association.
He is a retired paper mill chemist and lives in Wisconsin Rapids.
Have you been collecting U.S. stamps for some time and are at the point where only the more expensive stamps are on your want list? Collecting was more fun when you could add a dozen stamps to your album instead of only one expensive item. You can continue to acquire thousands of U.S. stamps simply by adding precancels to your collection.
Bureau prints
Bureau print precancels are produced separately from other definitives on a two-unit press that prints the stamp design first and then prints the precancellation from a special plate. Bureau print precancels are needed for a complete U.S. definitive collection as much as the Kansas-Nebraska overprints are required for completing the 1926 series.
There are 9,522 known Bureau prints and if that quantity is too much of a challenge, you can collect just the Wisconsin Bureau prints.
Wisconsin Bureau prints
There are 194 Wisconsin Bureau prints. There are also two spelling errors that occurred on the Milwaukee 1 1/2c and 8csheet stamps of the 1926 series. The city is misspelled "Mikwaukee" in two positions on each pane of the stamps.
The rarest Wisconsin Bureau print is the Scott 599 20 coil with the old type Bureau print of Sheboygan. This 2c coil stamp with full perfs catalogs $125. The Sheboygan 2c coil is rare because the post office was robbed in the 1920s and the thieves took all the stamps in the safe. When they discovered the 2c coils were precanceled "Sheboygan," the rogues knew they could not sell them and, therefore, destroyed them.
Local precancels - town collection
To expand your collection of Wisconsin precancels, you can add the local precancels from 654 Wisconsin post offices. A collection of one example from each city is known as a town collection. While 75 percent of the towns can be found with little effort, the remainder requires attending precancel stamp shows and searching dealers' stock books.
Some town cancels are hard to locate because they originated from postal units that were discontinued. Sawyer, Wis., is one where the precancel device was used one time on one stamp denomination before the post office was closed.
Town and types collection
Big cities used several different precancel types over the years. For example, Milwaukee used 17 different local precancel devices and Racine used 13 different types. These two cities were also the first to employ precancels, and the earliest types were used in the 1890s.
A collection of all 1,311 Wisconsin types is known as a town and type collection. This is a popular way of collecting precancels from a state, but finding all the types is very difficult. Some of the precancel devices were in use for such a short time that less than 10 copies exist for some early types. For two Wisconsin towns, the first precancel type is known only on one stamp.
Wisconsin precanceled envelopes
For those interested in postal stationery, Wisconsin precanceled envelopes can be added as a sideline collection. From 1928 to 1965 the Post Office Department provided permit holders with precanceled envelopes for bulk third-class mail. These envelopes can be collected by denomination and watermark from 135 Wisconsin towns. The big user was Milwaukee with Madison a close second. A Wisconsin town collection of precanceled envelopes is not easy to assemble; I am still looking for one from Stevens Point.
General collection
The final way to collect precancels is to acquire one example of each denomination from each stamp issue for each town and type. This is called a general precancel collection and it provides an unending pursuit of precancels as unlisted denominations continue to appear every year.
A complete Wisconsin general collection will number 22,000 stamps or more. After I completed the Wisconsin towns and 95 percent of the types, the only way to continue collecting was to advance to Wisconsin general.
Forty years after I started collecting Wisconsin precancels I have nine two-inch binders housing my collection and the search continues at every local and national precancel show. I use my computer to custom-design and print all my album pages.
Precancel collecting resources
In 1988 I needed a checklist for my Wisconsin precancels so I began compiling a
catalog on my computer. The project expanded and many man-hours later I had edited and published a Wisconsin Local Precancel Catalog. The final revision was produced in 1995 after other collectors supplied more data on unlisted denominations
The catalog is available for $15 plus $3 postage. Send orders to: Tom Sanford, 3031 Second St. So., Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494.
The Precancel Stamp Society is a national organization. Annual dues are $15. Members receive a copy of the monthly bulletin, the Precancel Forum, which also contains information about local precancel stamp shows and the annual national convention held in August.

The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project
By Daniel J. Hammell. Janesville and Walworth Stamp Clubs Wisconsin Postal History Society
The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) was the first significant manned space flight in which the United States participated with Soviet Russia, our greatest rival at the time. The project's objective was to dock the two spacecraft Apollo and Soyuz with each other while in space.
Accomplishing this goal required close cooperation with the Soviets in several areas, including:
• Manpower
• Spacecraft
• Control, communications, and facilities.
The Americans learned a second language - Russian; the Soviets used English, and it took many years of joint meetings before problems were resolved.
The project was executed 25 years ago, with July 17, 1975, celebrated as the date of the climax of the ASTP. This is when the two richest and most powerful nations on Earth proved they could succeed in bringing a difficult and complex task to a successful conclusion.
Planning the project
The ASTP program began in autumn 1959 with discussions between NASA and the Russian Academy of Science. Discussions continued through the spring of 1972, when major details were hammered out at a meeting in Moscow. The meeting culminated on May 24, 1972, with a Space Treaty signed by U.S. President Nixon and Premier Kosygin of the Soviet Union.
The most important detail of the treaty was the joining together in space of an American Apollo spacecraft with a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in mid-July 1975. The mission required partner-ship of the two countries to meet all deadlines peacefully and on time.
During the next three years, the space organizations of both countries worked together to solve the many problems that came up. Five working groups of personnel from both countries each had their own areas of responsibility.
The final dress rehearsal came on June 25, 1975, when the rockets traveled to their respective launching pads. Communications, support systems and various procedures, including the docking, were tested, practiced, and finalized for the flights to proceed.
July 15, 1975, launch day
On July 15, 1975, Soyuz was launched into orbit from Baikonur Spaceport in Siberia at 8:19 a.m. EDT. Cosmonauts aboard were Alexei Leonov (commander) and Valerei Kubasov (engineer). At 3:50 p.m. EDT, Apollo was launched at Kennedy Space Center, FL. Its crew included astronauts Thomas Stafford (commander), Vance Brand (command module pilot), and Donald Slayton (docking module pilot). Both spacecraft launches were perfect as planned and practiced.
Crews on the spacecraft per-formed routine jobs in addition to several experiments in preparation for the major tasks of July 17. The chase continued with the distance between the spacecraft rapidly decreasing all through the day and nighttime hours while the crews slept.
July 16
There was a problem with the probe on Apollo but the crew straightened it out during the early morning hours. The remainder of the second day was busy but routine as the crews started their rest periods later on.
July 17, rendezvous
The morning of July 17, 1975, arrived with the Soyuz spacecraft still not in visible range. The distance, however, steadily decreased until contact was made at 8 a.m. EDT. Changes were made in Apollo's orbit and at 11 a.m. EDT the docking process was completed, enabling the two spacecraft to ride on together as one unit.
When the atmosphere cleared, the hatches were opened and Stafford and Slayton entered Soyuz at 2:17 p.m. EDT to be greeted by Leonov and Kubasov. Handshakes, speeches, along with some gift exchanges and words from U.S. President _ Ford and U.S.S.R. President Brezhnev completed the ceremonies at 5:47 p.m. EDT and wound up a good day for all. The Americans returned to Apollo, and the hatches were closed.
July 18
This was a day for transfer with crewmembers shifting back and forth between the two spacecraft. More experiments were conducted and TV broadcasts were made to both the United States and the Soviet Union. It was a busy but a good day.
July 19
After being together for nearly 44 hours, the first undocking took place at 7:12 a.m. EDT July 19, 1975, followed immediately by the "Artificial Eclipse of the Sun" experiment. After the experiment, the spacecraft quickly redocked for two hours, finally separating for the last time at 10:27 a.m. EDT. The remainder of the day was spent performing experiments as the two spacecraft remained in close proximity.
July 20-21, Soyuz return to Earth
The Soyuz crew finished their experiments and prepared for their return to Earth. According to the flight plan, Soyuz landed at 5:48 p.m. EDT on July 21, 1975, near its Baikonur launch site.
July 23-24, Apollo splashdown
Apollo astronauts continued their experimental work through July 23 and then prepared to leave space.
The Apollo splashdown occurred 4½ miles from the recovery ship New Orleans near Hawaii at 4:18 p.m. EDT on July 24, 1975. Because of some poisonous gas leakage, Apollo astronauts were forced to spend a two-week unscheduled stay in a hospital near Honolulu.
Following their trip back to Houston, the Apollo crew embarked on a tour of the United States and Russia receiving warm greetings at every stop. •

Ethics of Collecting Modern Postal History
By Barbara R. Mueller, Wisconsin Postal History Society
Barbara Mueller, a resident of Jefferson, WI, is one of our nation's most prestigious philatelists. She is the recipient of all of the pertinent honors that philately has to bestow, including the Lichtenstein Award and the American Philatelic Society's Luff Award.
Barbara's books about our hobby can be found in public libraries. Throughout the years, she has served as editor for several distinguished philatelic specialty journals and continues to contribute important research articles.
Needless to say, Barbara also is a member of the Wisconsin Philatelic Hall of Fame. We're, indeed, honored to have her following opinion on a difficult subject.
Last September, while at MILCOPEX, Karen Weigt asked me to write on this subject for ATFP - deadline of April 1. Well, here it is St. Patrick's Day 2000, and I'm rushing to meet her deadline. Frankly, the more I thought about the subject, the less I found to contribute! To put things in perspective, here is the gist of Karen's hypothetical situation:
It concerns the ethics of collecting contemporary used stamps and covers, especially those acquired by somewhat dubious means of the Dumpster-diving ilk. But it can also involve an up-front agreement with a business to pick up discarded envelopes for the sole purpose of clipping the stamps for a youth group.
Occasionally, a truly significant item will turn up that should be kept intact. Is the finder justified in reporting it to the press or a study group while concealing the source and any identification on the cover? Can the finder exhibit the item provided its anonymity is preserved in some manner? Can the item be sold thereafter, perhaps in another part of the country? When, if ever, can the cover come out of the closet?
I can offer no objective answers, only subjective views that involve one's own personal standards of right and wrong, of letting one's conscience be one's guide. I could stop right now, for that would be the ultimate solution. But since Karen won't let me off that easily, here are a few observations that may help.
Shredding laws
In Wisconsin, at least, the entire problem may soon become moot because of the new "Shredding Law" that went into effect on February 1; it requires companies to destroy any records containing personal information before disposing of them. Erasing or modifying records so such information is unreadable before the law allows disposal, but the emphasis is on shredding. Although many businesses already comply with the law, some may still feel vulnerable to the $1,000 fine per incident of failing to obliterate confidential records before they are trashed.
Since I do not know the location or nature of the donor businesses in Karen's example, I can go no further in applying the ramifications of the Shredding Law. However, it and probably similar legislation in other states may have a dampening effect on the enthusiasm of businesses to accommodate do-gooder stamp collectors. No covers - no ethical problem!
Confidentiality and research
An interesting variation of this problem is the use of correspondence contained in 19th-and early 20th-century covers to solve postal history problems, to shed light on the senders as role-players in some specific area of the posts, or to investigate a genealogical or social aspect of the letters. This brings to mind the ongoing series in Global Stamp News, by Robert Welt, a teacher in a New England middle school, who obtains covers from family archives and uses them to teach students about contemporary life at the time of their writing. One must assume that present-day descendants, if any, do not object to the publication of family correspondence...
Which brings up the possibility of finding solutions in another hobby that is booming - genealogy. Undoubtedly, these hobby groups have Web sites that could lead one to information, and there even are genealogy shops; 1 know of one on Highway 26 just north of Janesville called "Origins." The people involved could likely give their perspective on confidentiality.
Thievery from public records
A somewhat related situation regarding revenue stamps was reported in the "Letters to the Editor" section of the February 2000 American Philatelist. The writer, Manfred Groth of San Antonio, says:
"Two of my hobbies are genealogy and philately. Perusing old stamps is as enjoyable to me as reading the original copies of court records written by a clerk with his quill pen some 150 or 200 years ago. On a recent trip to visit county courthouses in Kentucky and Tennessee, I have run across a deplorable situation that affects both hobbies. Certain individuals have decided that revenue stamps on documents filed in courthouses are a source of income. These people have gone to courthouse archives and deliberately cut out the tax stamps (revenues) on documents filed in the post-Civil War era...
"Fortunately, these thieves have not managed to raid all courthouses... "Courthouse records are public documents that can be accessed by all. The removal of revenues from public documents is theft and should not be condoned by anyone.
"Are revenue collectors certain that the items in their collections were not illegally removed from public documents?"
Yes, indeed, many such revenues came out of the courthouses without authorization. I know of an instance here in Jefferson County, WI, many years ago where the son of a highly regarded 19th-century jurist roamed at will in the records and liberated the stamps, which later formed a substantial portion of his estate. Of course, at the time, the local officials thought little of this, although it was, as Mr. Groth said, theft from public records.
Well, our Dumpster divers and collectors of envelopes from businesses are not involved in such a serious crime but in my opinion, they will have to watch their steps as more and more people decide not to risk noncompliance with any new privacy laws and simply cut off their donations, worthy causes or not.
If any of us have personal scruples, then we simply have to forego the pleasures and/ or profits of discovery. After all, we must live with our consciences, and the good of philately or personal gains should be secondary considerations.

Philatelic Scouting
Part 1 – The Birth of Scouting in England
By Donald W Carter, Waukesha County Philatelic Society
We welcome back Don Carter as feature writer for the next two issues. Don has been associated with the Boy Scout movement for nearly 50 years as a Boy Scout and a Scout leader. He additionally holds, membership in the Scouts on Stamps Society International.
Don is also an extremely active member of the West Africa Study Circle and co-editor of The Sierra Leone Stamp Collector, a quarterly e-zine on the Internet. See the October and November 1999 issues far Don's past contributions to ATFP.
Collecting Scout-related philatelic materials has long been a hobby of Scouts, former Scouts, Scouters and others interested in this topical subject. Hundreds of Scouting stamps, covers and cards have been issued by numerous nations since Scouting began.
Lord Baden-Powell of Gillwell was a man of wide interests and many talents. During his lifetime he served as soldier, spy, artist, amateur actor, and founder of the Boy Scout movement in England.
Robert Baden-Powell was born in London, England, on February 2, 1857. His mother was a vice-admiral's daughter and his father was an Oxford University professor of mathematics. His father died when he was three years old.
Raised by his mother and older brothers, Baden-Powell was educated at Charterhouse, a private London school. Never a strong student, he preferred to concentrate on sports, dramatics and art while in school, and he spent numerous holidays camping in nearby woods and sailing with his brothers on the Thames River and along the coast of England.
At the age of 19, he failed the entrance exam to enter Oxford University but scored very high (second out of 70 candidates) on an exam to enter the British Army where he earned his commission and was posted to India as a member of the 13th Hussars, a British cavalry regiment. Baden-Powell served as a soldier for the next 34 years fighting in the Afghan wars of 1880-81. Later he fought in campaigns against the Ashantis in West Africa and the Zulus and Metabeles in Southern Africa. At one time, 1885-86, he traveled through Europe as spy gathering information on military fortifications.
During his career, Baden-Powell developed outstanding skills as a horseman, hunter, outdoorsman, tracker and leader. He was an accomplished artist and draftsman.
While stationed in South Africa in 1899, he was ordered to organize two mounted infantry regiments to guard the borders between Transvaal, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), and Bechuanaland
(Botswana) against intrusion by Dutch settlers, or Boers. He established his headquarters in a small town in Bechuanaland called Mafeking where the Boers laid siege to the town for 217 days. With a small force of 700 soldiers, policemen and volunteers, he held off 7,000 of the enemy until a large British force finally relieved him.
During the siege, Baden-Powell used various devious tactics to fool the Boers into believing he had a major British force with him at Mafeking. It was here that he organized a uniformed corps of young boys to serve as messengers, orderlies and lookouts.
Returning to England a hero, Baden-Powell was promoted to major general and given the task of forming a South African constabulary organized into troops and patrols in much the same structure as he later used in the Scout movement.
In 1903, he returned to England and found that an army manual he had written called Aids to Scouting were being used by boys as a guidebook for outdoors fun. Baden-Powell was asked to rewrite the manual for boy's use. After much research and conducting an experimental summer camp in 1907 on Brownsea Island, he finally published his boys' manual, Scouting for Boys, in January 1908 as a series of pamphlets. It was published in book form in May 1908 and soon became the bible of the British Boy Scout movement. Shortly thereafter, Scout troops were springing up all over England and worldwide as the Scouting idea caught on.
At the first World Jamboree held in London in 1920, Baden-Powell was acclaimed "Chief
Scout of the World." In 1920, he was made a baron.
Baden-Powell's wife, Olave Lady Baden-Powell, founded a similar movement for girls in England and named it the Girl Guides.
Baden-Powell retired to Kenya at the age of 80 where he died on January 1941 shortly before his 84th birthday.
1t is only fitting that many countries have recognized Baden-Powell by issuing stamps honoring the hero of Mafeking and the founder of the Boy Scout movement, •

Philatelic Scouting
Part 2 - boy Scouts of America
By Donald W. Carter, Waukesha County Philatelic Society
This year marks the 90th anniversary of Scouting in America. Soon after Baden-Powell founded scouting in England a few independent Scout troops began to form in different parts of the United States using Powell's books and methods.
Prior to the Scouting movement in England, however, two men in America had been instrumental in organizing woodcraft movements for boys in this country. In 1902, English artist, naturalist, woodsman and writer Ernest Thompson Seton formed an organization known as the Woodcraft Indians. The artist, surveyor and woodsman Daniel Carter Beard formed a second organization for boys called the Sons of Daniel Boone in June 1905.
At this same time, Baden-Powell was further developing his ideas for the Boy Scouting movement. Powell consulted with Seton and adopted many of Seton's ideas into his new program, especially the awarding of badges for completing certain specific tasks or skills.
The story of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) began in 1902 with a wealthy publisher named William D. Boyce who while on a business trip to London became lost in a pea-soup fog. A young boy of about 12 who offered to guide Boyce to the address he was looking for approached him. Offering the lad a shilling tip, the boy refused and informed him that he was a Scout and that Scouts do not accept tips for good turns.
Boyce was impressed, and after he completed his business, the young Scout took him to the British Scout office. Here Boyce acquired books and material, which he took back to the United States. On his return, he became determined to start a Scouting movement in America.
Boyce filed incorporation papers for the Boy Scouts of America on February 8, 1910. He seems to have been unaware of unofficial troops that were already in existence in the country.
In the organization statement Boyce said, "The purpose shall be to promote, through organization and cooperation with other agencies, the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them in Scout craft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues, using the methods which are in common use by Boy Scouts."
For a time, the new organization was slow to grow but with the help of three men from the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), headed by Edgar M. Robinson; the Boy Scouts began to prosper. With Robinson acting as the director, an office was opened as a National Scout Headquarters. Letters began to pour into the tiny one-room office and it became necessary to form a board of civic and youth leaders to guide the fledgling movement.
Seton (of the Woodcraft Indians group) was named the Chief Scout, and with his help the first publications were produced. Beard (of the Sons of Daniel Boone group) and Seton had a long disagreement over the origin of the Boy Scouts and it was some time before they reached agreement.
In 1911, Robinson resigned as BSA's executive secretary to return to the YMCA. A young lawyer named James E. West took the job, and during the next 30 years he built the BSA into a national institution.
The BSA got into the magazine business in 1912 by publishing its first issue of Boys Life in July of that year. A year later, Scouting Magazine for adult leaders was published for the first time.
Early in the formation of the BSA, numerous other youth groups attempted to use the word "scouts" or "scout" in their names. A number of these groups were quasi-military organizations emphasizing marching, drills and the use of live firearms. The worst was a warlike organization called "The American Boy Scout Movement," later "The United States Boy Scouts," which was sponsored by publisher William Randolph Hurst. After a lengthy court battle over the copyrighted name, the BSA won its suit against Hurst. Other competing Scout groups soon merged into the official BSA organization.
Both national and world jamborees (fellowship camps) are usually held every four years. They provide a chance for Scouts to meet each other and to further Scouting experiences not available at a local level. World jamborees, held in different countries, are often commemorated on postage stamps.
Collecting Scouts on stamps
Scouts on Stamps Society International (SOSSI) are the premier philatelic organization associated with collecting Scout-related philatelic materials. It was founded by Harry D. Thorson Jr. in 1951 and has been in existence for 50 years. Membership information can be obtained from Kenneth A. Shuker, 22 Cedar Ln., Cornwall, NY 12518.
A man in California has produced a very fine catalog of worldwide scout stamps and philatelic items. It is titled Scouts on Stamps - A Listing by Country of Issue and can be purchased at a very reasonable price. Its format is a three-ring binder with loose-leaf pages to allow for the annual new supplement pages. For further information, contact Paul's Scout Philatelic Publications, P.O. Box 6173, Moraga, CA 94570-6173; firstname.lastname@example.com.

And being the gentleman that He is, I believe that He has calmly backed out. So how can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand that He leave us alone?"
In light of recent events such as terrorists attacks, school shootings, etc. I think it pretty much all started when Madeline Murray O'Hare, (she was murdered and her body was found recently) complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools, and we said OK.
Then, someone said you better not read the Bible in school... the Bible that says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said, OK. In fact we even agreed that they could take down those 10 commandments, because they just might unduly influence and sway our impressionable little children.
Then, someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. And the school administrators said no faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued (There's a real big difference between disciplining and touching, beating, smacking, humiliating, kicking, etc.) And we said, OK, but then to our amazement we find that these same students are beating up, raping, and even killing not only other sutdents but also the teachers.
Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they want, so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school. And we said, OK, and sure enough now the average boy looks upon all girls as sluts who's only purpose is to be used for pleasure and who deserve absolutely no respect.
And with the boys all taken care of we then decided to allow the girls to have their birth control. And like the boys, the girls can even get theirs without their parents permission. And suddenly most of the female students had their own little birth control tablets.
Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they want since so many of them are still getting pregnant, and they won't even have to tell their parents. And we said, OK, and sure enough they went out, still became pregnant, and had abortions in record numbers.
Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs. And agreeing with them, we said it doesn't matter to me what anyone does in private, as long as I have a job and the economy is good.
And then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women and call it wholesome, down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female body. And we said OK, art is good, but suddenly we found our big beautiful country just saturated with pornography.
And then someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children and then went even further by making them available on the internet. And we said OK, they're entitled to their free speech.
And then the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex, and make parents look like morons. And let's record music that encourages rape, drug use, murder, suicide, and satanic themes. And we said it's just entertainment, it has no adverse effect, and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with, "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."
Funny how we believe everything that the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
Funny how so many people believe in life on other planets and UFO's but reject any possibility that there is a God.
Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says.
Funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan who, by the way, also "believes" in God.
Funny how we are so quick to judge but not to be judged.
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of God is suppressed.
Funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week.
"Dear Concerned Student
I am not allowed in schools"
Sincerely, God

After each basketball game, the boys are recognized by their coach for their actions and attitudes on the court through the presentation of game day stars. The stars are multi-colored and represent the following attributes:
- Blue = Effort
- Red = Defense
- Gray = Offense
- Gold = Sportsmanship
- White = Christlikeness
We're about two-thirds of the way through the season and each week, the boys bring me their stars to attach to their uniform…
Then we talk about what they did during the game to earn that particular star. They take pride in their accomplishment and most importantly, they're learning the importance of hard work on the court, teamwork, and sportsmanship!

After a very comfortable night's sleep I broke camp and set off at around 07:00 into central Reading. The first lock of the day was Caversham lock which was very easy to portage around. The next point of interest was the entrance to the Kennet and Avon Canal which had a inner city waterway look about it. Continuing downstream the large Oracle campus could be seen on the starboard side – a familiar sight from many train journeys through Reading.
I stopped for lunch at the Angel On The Bridge in Henley-on-Thames (taking my boat out of the water at the small public wharf next to the pub) before paddling through the rowing course along Henley Reach and on towards Marlow.
I finished the day's paddling near Bourne End where I set up a very rudimentary camp on the bank of the river. The further downstream I got the more difficult it was to find suitable places to stop for the night. Next to the bank was a busy footpath. As the light faded I was caught in a short rain shower so was glad of having my Basha sheet.

13 Photographs inside the sex lives of people with disabilities / Cosmopolitan
Written by Elizabeth Griffon for Cosmopolitan. Originally published September 4th, 2014.
We love this piece because we want to feature differently abled #realworldsex on MLNP.tv! We welcome submissions from folks who want to show us what awesome disabled #realworldsex looks like.
"I see disability as a mirror for society," says photographer Olivier Fermariello. "Most of us belong to the 99 percent of people who do not fit in the standards of manipulated beauty."
With his series, Je t'aime moi aussi, Fermariello opted to push the dialogue about physical beauty further, photographing what has (sadly) often been a taboo subject: the sex lives of people who have physical disabilities.
"Diversity is scary for people," says Fermariello, "because it reflects our far from perfect appearance. When it gets to matters like sexuality and disability, we usually feel uncomfortable and we rather not want to talk about."
See the rest of Fermariello's beautiful, thoughtful, and NSFW photographs here.

Exercise can help build muscle because of the stress it puts on muscles. Sure, weights can help you build muscle quickly, but body-weight exercises can work to. Here are some of the best body-weight exercises you can do:
1. Pull-ups, Push-ups And Squats- One of the best things about pull-ups is that they work your back and arms, and you can do them on just about any thing you can hang on, or you can do doorway pull-ups. As for push-ups, they work mainly your chest, and they incorporate your shoulders and arms, and all you have to do is get into the push-ups starting position and lower your body down and then back up. If regular push-ups are too difficult to do, then get on your knees and do them that way, as this should make it easier for you. Squats are the king of all leg exercises, and all you have to do is perform the body-weight squat in the same manner you would if you were squatting with a barbell.
2. The Program- SimpleFit.org is where you can find a workout routine that consists of the above exercises. Best of all, you will only need around 90 minutes per week to do the workout. It doesn't matter what your lifestyle is, you should find it easy to fit this workout routine in.
3. Progression- In order to build muscle, you need to get stronger. This means doing very high reps will build more endurance than strength. This is why you should switch things up when you can start doing more pull-ups, squats and push-ups. Continue to read on to find out what exercises you can throw in to make things more challenging for you.
Rings and one-arm push-ups are challenging. Also, if you want to make the one-arm push-ups even more challenging, then you can do them at an incline position, but you can make it even more challenging by decreasing the height. Do these two exercises and you should feel your muscles being thoroughly worked.
One-Arm Pull-ups And One-Arm Squats- One-arm pull-ups are similar to regular ones, but you do them with one-arm, hence the name of the exercise. As for one-leg squats, you perform them the same as regular body-weight squats, except you don't use both legs. These two exercises will make things more challenging for you.
External resistance doesn't necessarily mean using weights. Grab a backpack and put some water bottles in it, and then do exercises. This is just one example of how you can use external resistance. Basically, you want to add some sort of resistance, even if it is not weights.
4. Nutrition. To build muscle, you need to eat right, and some of the foods you should be consuming include meats, eggs and fish, as they are high in protein. Omega-3 fatty acids are something you should consume too, as well as all kinds of veggies and fruit. Make sure you drink plenty of water on a daily basis, and consume pasta, oats, rice and breads, as they are a good source of carbs. consume these types of foods, and exercise constantly, and you could end up building up your muscles and gaining some strength.

Tips For Betting On Redskins Saints – Resilient Saints Look To Make Statement Versus RGIII
The city of New Orleans has become used to the 'us against the world' mentality over the last few years, so in many ways this season isn't expected to be much different than the usual for its beloved Saints. New Orleans won't have head coach Sean Payton, middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma, or defensive end Will Smith available following suspensions from the NFL for their roles in the recent Bountygate scandal, but that has only increased the team's resolve ahead of their sports betting season opener against Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins.
Washington Redskins @ New Orleans Saints
Sunday September 9, 2012 – 1:00 PM ET
Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana
NFL Betting Line: New Orleans Saints – 7
RGIII won't have a bounty on him but he will face a hungry Saints' defense that has something to prove. The Redskins are hoping that Griffin III can do for them what Cam Newton did for the Carolina Panthers as a rookie last season, and it won't take long for them to find out what they have as he starts opposite Drew Brees for New Orleans.
NFL Betting Preview: Washington Redskins
The big play ability that RGIII showed during a Heisman-trophy winning season was enough to convince the Redskins that he could be their franchise quarterback, and the early results have supported that theory. Washington has surrounded its rookie passer with a ton of talent including free agent addition Pierre Garcon, Santana Moss, and Josh Morgan, but a lack of a No. 1 running back could be a concern. Head coach Mike Shanahan has a reputation for breeding successful backs throughout the course of his career, but only time will tell if Roy Helu and Alfred Morris can handle the load until Tim Hightower is healthy. The Redskins' defense has been very consistent in a talented NFC East the last few seasons, and will face a tough rest right away against Brees and the Saints.
NFL Betting Preview: New Orleans Saints
Brees earned the biggest contract in NFL history after breaking the NFL record for passing yards a year ago, and will be relied on even more this season without Payton to help guide him from the sideline. The Saints are very deep at every position on the offense, and there should be no drop off in production as long as Brees can stay healthy. New Orleans could not have landed a better replacement for Greg Williams than new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, and there is potential for those units to be even better this year. The Saints added Curtis Lofton in place of Vilma in the middle, and will now plug veteran defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley in to the heart of the line.
NFL Betting Preview: Outlook & Pick
There is a reason that the online sportsbook sites have the Saints listed as seven-point favorites after all the team went through this past offseason, and the truth is they could blow away that spread if they come out with the sense of urgency expected following the negative press and suspensions they have received. Brees and the offense will put up big numbers, and if the defense can do its job under Spagnuolo then New Orleans should have no trouble covering the number.NFL Betting Pick: New Orleans Saints
