Freedom Bound is about the origins of modern America – a history of colonizing, work, and civic identity from the beginnings of English presence on the mainland until the Civil War. It is a history of migrants and migrations, of colonizers and colonized, of households and servitude and slavery, and of the freedom all craved and some found. Above all it is a history of the law that framed the entire process. Freedom Bound tells how colonies were planted in occupied territories, how they were populated with migrants – free and unfree – to do the work of colonizing, and how the newcomers secured possession. It tells of the new civic lives that seemed possible in new commonwealths, and of the constraints that kept many from enjoying them. It follows the story long past the end of the eighteenth century until the American Civil War, when – just for a moment – it seemed that freedom might finally be unbound.Read more

- Empirically exhaustive and methodologically diverse – combines perspectives drawn from social and political history with intellectual history and cultural studies, and quantification with literary analysis
- Joint winner of the 2011 Bancroft Prize
Reviews & endorsements
"Freedom Bound is a truly magisterial work by one of the finest minds currently working in the field of legal history. It is about no less a topic than the origins of modern America – and, in particular, about the law that framed its genesis and its early development. In this exceptionally erudite study, Christopher Tomlins succeeds in achieving an unusual 'thickness' of description, notable alike for its breadth and depth, its subtlety and its comprehensiveness. Even more, he brings an acute analytic eye to a story of enormous complexity, making this a must-read for anyone with a serious interest in either modern American history or law and society." – John Comaroff, University of Chicago and American Bar FoundationSee more reviews
"Beautifully written, deeply researched, and elegantly argued, Freedom Bound is legal history that changes the way we understand U.S. history. Tomlins masterfully retells the story of America's founding by following the developing relationships among labor, law, and civic identity. While focused on early America, Freedom Bound speaks broadly to questions about freedom and equality that continue to define the nation's history into the twenty-first century." – Laura F. Edwards, Duke University
"An ambitious effort to remake the landscape of the history of the origins of American culture, Tomlins' learned and masterful volume may well turn out to be the most important work published in American history over the past quarter century. Transcending the conventional disciplinary categories – England and America, colonial and national – that contribute to the myopia of so many scholars, he leads his reader through a complex, sober, penetrating, and highly persuasive analysis of the fundamental and interactive role of labor, law, and civic imperatives in shaping American society from the late sixteenth century to the American Civil War. Challenging many existing orthodoxies, including the depiction of the American Revolution as a sharp break with the colonial past, it deserves the careful attention of any serious student of, not only the American past, but of the establishment of settler, colonial, and national regimes all over the globe." – Jack P. Greene, Johns Hopkins University
"Take time to savor this magisterial book, the fruit of decades of research and reflection. Christopher Tomlins brilliantly revises our understanding of the ideas and practices that shaped the lives of working people, households, and politics, in an account that stretches from England's Atlantic empire to the eve of the U.S. Civil War. Be warned: many familiar generalizations lie shattered." – Linda K. Kerber, University of Iowa
"Christopher Tomlins has written a passionate, provocative, brilliant book about how law enabled English colonizers to justify taking what was not theirs and then to keep and work what they had taken. With wide-ranging erudition, he uncovers the legalities that shaped what the English expected to find; what they saw; how they interpreted what they found; how they justified what they did; and what social, political, and legal structures they erected in America. Freedom Bound is, by any standard, a magisterial work of stunning originality." – Bruce H. Mann, Harvard Law School
"This sweeping and superb magnum opus is a fascinating account of intricate patchworks of disparate legal systems and codes that ranges all across British North America. Law was anything but a national singularity; rather, it encompassed plural discourses and institutions. The constantly evolving relationship between various freedoms and unfreedoms gives the work a powerful and poignant story line." – Philip Morgan, Johns Hopkins University
"From the beginnings of colonization of the American mainland to the American Civil War, few historians have the knowledge or stamina to rewrite the narrative of American history on such a broad scale. Christopher Tomlins does and has: Freedom Bound is the story of how, from its first imaginings, freedom was bound, limited to white males, secured by the land Native Americans had claimed and populated and by the productive and reproductive labor of wives and slaves. Colonial America is not a time apart; rather it is, in Tomlins' retelling, the formative era of modern America. This is a demanding book – demanding in length, in the range of methodologies it so expertly employs, but most of all in its conclusions. Majestic. Unrelenting. Haunting. Unanswerable." – Barbara Young Welke, University of Minnesota
"Tomlins shows how the vast expanse of land available to British colonizers in North America created the conditions for unfreedom. Scarce labor – free and bound – had to be policed. As a technology of power, law was core to the project of creating the blueprints for the plural forms of colonial governance that provided flexibility in disciplining labor. Freedom Bound takes us from British workshops to the marchlands of North America, from America's initial European settlement to its struggle, after independence, as an expansive republic with the legacy of slavery. More importantly, with deftness, intellectual ambition, and remarkable erudition, it forces us to reconsider how new worlds harbor both potential utopias and dystopias. One word best describes this book: magisterial." – Steven Wilf, University of Connecticut
"What we have long needed is an original and challenging interpretation of early America as a whole. Is there another recent, and not so recent, book that has offered or even attempted the scope and provocation given in Freedom Bound? I can't think of one." Sam Middleton, Journal of American Studies
"Comparative history can suggest how to read the past anew—particularly comparative perspectives inspired by so broad-ranging and thoughtful a work as Freedom Bound." -Tamar Herzog and Richard J. Ross, William and Mary Quarterly
"Freedom Bound illuminates and rewrites what the book marks off as a long foundational moment—a moving equilibrium a quarter of a millennium long—in early English American history. Through the lens of land and labor, Christopher Tomlins's text makes a case for the essential unity of this period with analytic reach, moral force, and literary sensitivity, extending across an expanse of enormous spatial and cultural diversity." Julia Adams, William & Mary Quarterly
"Tomlins is not the first person to write about the history of law that way. But I think he is more articulate than others have been in explaining exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it. It is this clarity of his method that I find especially valuable." -Stuart Banner, William and Mary Quarterly
"Freedom Bound should – and I very much hope will – revolutionize the way we think about the history of American law and American history generally." Peter Onuf, Journal of Legal Education
"... a magisterial synthesis and a work of original research, this brilliant, Bancroft Prize-winning volume has much to say about the complexities of law and colonialism, but it also broadens our understanding of law and legal culture in general." James D. Schmidt, American Historical Review
" Freedom Bound … is long and complex. But it is worth the effort. The work is suffused with an extraordinary and subtle sensibility; and there are even flashes of downright poetry. This is an important book. Awesome, in fact. And also enriching: a real contribution." Lawrence M. Friedman, Law and Politics Book Review
"...a magisterial volume..." -Alfred L. Brophy, The Journal of Southern History

Is it fair, is it even possible to enjoy and look forward to certain books by an author and then have trouble getting through another series of books by the same author? Well, I have to confess that I am in that fix. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel whose main character is a police officer named J.P. Beaumont.
Second Watch, by J.A. Jance, William Morrow, 340pp. $26.99
Is it fair, is it even possible to enjoy and look forward to certain books by an author and then have trouble getting through another series of books by the same author? Well, I have to confess that I am in that fix. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel whose main character is a police officer named J.P. Beaumont.
We pick up this story as the policeman, now at the height of his career in Seattle, Wash., is about to enter surgery to have both knees replaced. I could identify with this fictional character, having had one knee replaced. I could empathize with the initial pain, the never ending supply of pills that were to ease that pain and the relentless activities of the therapists who want just a few more steps and then just another few more steps and then just another few more.
The doctor and the therapists were right of course. My knee is fine and has never given me a bit of trouble since replacement.
While Beaumont is coming out of the fog of anesthesia his mind goes back some twenty years to an unsolved murder that he learned about just before his promotion to homicide. Two young brothers saw a man wrestle a steel drum from the back of a truck and roll it down a hill. They pried the lid off and out fell the body of a young woman.
The case had never been solved and the longer Beaumont thinks about this case the worse he feels. He decides when he is well enough to move around he will return to this case and try to solve it. He had promised the mother of the victim that there would be justice for her daughter.
Still feeling slightly woozy and not able to get around very easily he hires a woman by the name of Marge Herndon who is a very strong willed kind of lady. She oversees his daily activities with a no-nonsense kind of attitude. She does what she said she would do and then a bit more. Her main goal seems to keep him exactly on his post-op schedule and she allows no interference with it by anybody, including Beaumont�s wife, Mel.
There are several flashbacks to when Beaumont was in Vietnam serving in a platoon commanded by a young but extremely capable lieutenant. As far as I could tell, of all the characters depicted in the book, this one character is based on a real live person, Lt. Leonard Douglas Davis. Alas, the good lieutenant did not survive the war.
I have read some other novels by J.A. Jance that I have not liked nearly as much. In fact, if the truth be known, I have found some of her stories, especially the Joanna Brady Mystery series to be a bit less than fascinating.
Also released this month is an autobiographical book by J.A. Jance entitled �After the Fire.� In this release she tells of some of the highlights (and many of the low lights) of her life. Some of the details are expressed in poetry � interesting if not engrossing. She has been through a lot, and life has not always been easy but she continues to flourish, and write.

As a former assistant coach, NCAA administrator, conference commissioner and College Football Association executive director, Chuck Neinas knows the sport like few others. And as the Bowl Championship Series Presidential Oversight Committee prepared Tuesday to adopt a decades-overdue playoff, Neinas couldn't hide his satisfaction.
"I think, generally, we couldn't be ignorant of the public (sentiment)," he said less than a hour before Tuesday's 3 p.m. meeting here at the Dupont Circle Hotel. "There seemed to be a need for it, and I think there was genuinely a feeling that there needed to be some kind of change, and it had to be change of some significance. …
"There's a general feeling we need to do something better to determine the national champion."
That consensus, among fans, media and coaches, has been brewing for years. Indeed, as the CFA's leader, Neinas helped conceive a playoff proposal in 1991. The powers-that-be weren't ready.
"The BCS is part of an evolution," Neinas said. "There was the (Bowl) Alliance, the (Bowl) Coalition, the BCS and now this … four-team playoff. So it's been an evolutionary process.
"The significance will not only be in the four-team playoff, but if the proposal is adopted, the significance will be in how postseason football will be restructured. … I think that the colleges are going to become more involved in the management of postseason football."
A former Big Eight commissioner, Neinas returned to that role on an acting basis after the Big 12 parted ways with Dan Beebe in September 2011. He subsequently joined Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive and the ACC's John Swofford in building a consensus for a playoff that will begin in 2014.
Neinas has since been replaced by a full-time commissioner, former Stanford and Iowa athletic director Bob Bowlsby.
Bowlsby, like Slive and the Big Ten's Jim Delany, is a former chairman of the NCAA basketball tournament selection committee, the same model the playoff will use.
"The only thing we've talked about is, it needs to be of such size so that when people are recused you still have a good group," Neinas said of the committee's possible composition. "While there are critics of the basketball tournament, it's worked pretty well with their selection process."
Basketball panel members leave the room when a team they're affiliated with is discussed. Fans, media and coaches annually debate the basketball tournament field, and the same will occur in football.
But it's better than the BCS, which uses a formula to determine the participants in the national championship game.
"Just a new wave of controversy," Neinas said with a smile. "Give us a chance to work out all the details, and I think you'll have a better understanding."
Check back for more details after the presidents adjourn and take questions.

Uplag is a physiological condition which results from an upgrade of an electronic device, software, or some other technology, that is very disruptive to the upgrader's personal or professional life. Similar to jet lag, symptoms include sleeplessness, fatigue, exhaustion, and general confusion. The condition of uplag may last several days until the upgrader adjusts to the new technology.
Dude's got serious uplag ever since he upgraded to a new Android phone yesterday. He missed our morning project status meeting, and I found him in the men's room, curled up in the fetal position with his Android, rocking back and forth and moaning, "Only fifteen more apps to reinstall."

Have you stalked me yet? Maybe you will after this post…or maybe, you'll just hate me.
I usually have a theme song when I write, and occasionally (when its not too embarassing) I share the song. Remember Arab MONEY $? Well, here's another one that you should nod your head and read to:
Ever meet those girls who say they don't have a lot of girlfriends? The ones not addicted to Meth?
Well, I dont fcking trust them. Don't get me wrong, not all girls with male friends outnumbering female ones are shady/sketch– they usually fall into two categories:
Category 1: (the minority) The guy's girl. They actually love sports and watch the games, not as an excuse to wear slutty team gear–but because it matters to them. They prefer getting down and dirty, they're not vain, and they're real. Cameron Diaz is the hottest Category 1 I have ever seen. Burping competitions anyone?
and as for the majority of them…drum roll please!
Category 2: The Attention Whores (A.W.) They like anything that will get them attention from men, even if it means wearing/saying/doing the most ridiculous things. Some are more obvious than others, but these species are easily spotted by other females. Males? Well, they're slower to catch on, and sometimes they fall into the web– but inevitably, they head for the hills too.
I've had a lot of Category 2's in my life, unfortunately. I finally learned my lesson on how to ID them and just STAY the eff AWAY because they tend to want to project their insecurities onto the people they're around (and thats a problem).
If you're still wondering what an A.W. is, or have never (or think you've never) had one in your life, let me break it down for you:
They are girls who suffer from the Sheep/Wolf Complex. They're the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing.
When its just you and them, or just the girls in an isolated situation, they're sheep like the rest of us. They're fun, they're real…they're your friend. Then there's the social situations: the party, the mehmooni, the club, classroom, workplace, etc –> and they betray their true nature.
In the public view, the claws come out. And they're ravenous- they want to tear apart ALL THE SHEEP.
I'm serious, its like they only see red. You're no longer a person, just competition for attention– in the way of their glory. And it seems, if they're your FRIEND– they want to murder you even more. Ever had a friend
who makes underhanded comments toward you in social situations?
Seems to call dibs on every guy in the room?
And BLATANTLY flirts with anything that has a penis?
There are no boundaries, and sometimes you cringe out of embarassment for them. It doesn't seem to matter if he's available or not, if he's ugly/hot, or your friend or a stranger- they want to revel in the spotlight.
What causes a girl to become such a meth-hater? And why does she end up with no girlfriends?
1. She's very insecure and jealous. We are all insecure and envious, its human nature. But some people can't control their green-eyed monsters and how inferior they feel. I had a friend who couldn't handle not being the hottest girl in the room. Could you imagine that type of anxiety/stress?
Being so conscious of your surroundings and how people perceive you is more a curse than anything else.
2. She enjoys competition. There's nothing wrong with a healthy game of one-on-one, but keep it on the fucking courts man. All that is social does not need to be WARFARE. When we go to a bar, don't hijack the guys I'm talking to because you want to prove you're better than me. Don't throw yourself at men, because you want to prove you can get more attention than me.
Because all I'm going to do is walk away. I don't play those games. You're not better than me, you're just pathetic.
This is how A.W.'s lose all their girlfriends.
3. She has to validate herself, externally. What do I mean by this? Its the same as insecurity but more of an active insecurity. She looks in the mirror, and feels empty FOR SOME REASON. and she looks to fill that emptiness using her surroundings- instead of attempting to understand why she's empty in the first place. One of my friends was clearly so lost in her crisis of 'what are you gonna do with that?' she just constantly relied on her attention-whoring ways to make her feel better. (cough-daddyissuesUP THE ASS cough)
I guess the philosophy behind that is,
"I have nothing else going on that's worth any attention?"
Feel like I'm being harsh? In my defense, I've spent years with wolves, of all breeds. Some Persian, some not, some ugly, and some pretty– but all very lost, insecure, and toxic. And this affected me and my life– you see, your baggage and your problems are all YOUR BUSINESS until they begin to affect ME. Then its my business to either help you, or get the fuck away.
But the only person that can help an attention whore is the whore herself.
I tried for a long time to help my friend, especially because I thought that if I showed her how negatively it was perceived by others it would hit a sore spot for her, and she'd change. But no, shit was waayy too twisted.
"Saaghi, I would want your boyfriend to think I'm hot"
"OMG, I don't understand why he's so interested in me!" (um. Is flirting not a signal of interest? Or did I miss something here?)
"I have like no girlfriends, they're just too catty for me. I get along with guys better."
OH. So GIRLS are too catty for YOU? Its not you who hits on their boyfriends that has a problem?….Got it.
If it was just the comments, I would be able to deal because I tend to tune stupid sh!t out anyway… but a person who can't be happy on her own, will DEFINITELY never be happy for you. So sharing the 'good parts' of your life? FORGET IT. Evil-eye galore joonies. At the end of the day, its like this:
I'm sorry my dad actually loves me.
I'm sorry that time with my girlfriends actually fulfills me.
And I'm really sorry I'm not so insecure, that I need to overcompensate and over-validate. Is that why you mad?
So, if you can identify some A.W.'s in your life, RUN. Don't look back, just RUN. If you don't, your relationship will become so anxiety ridden, and resentful- you'll even begin to question your own identity (take it from me). Don't do this to yourself. At some point, you gotta wash your hands clean, and let them deal with their self-esteem issues on their own.
Don't stoop to their level and compete with them.
Even if it comes down to a guy you both like, don't fall into the black hole and (God forbid) turn into an A.W. Because once the dust settles and the spark of flirting is gone, all that's left is respect…and no guy respects an attention whore.
They're just for playtime. ;)
So as for your attention-whoring career? Dead. GHOSTBUSTER.

As part of the ongoing construction of Bluffton Parkway Phase 5A and the flyover, there will be some lane closures along the Fording Island Road Extension Friday from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The contractor intends to top the trees on the fruit stand side of the road on Friday. Once those trees have been topped, crews will move to the marsh side where the majority of the clearing will be done with heavy machinery. Most of the clearing is expected to take place Friday, while Saturday will be reserved for cleaning the debris. The contractor will be working closely with a Beaufort County Planning Department employee before the work begins, making sure the clearing is carried out correctly.
Flagging operations will be in effect during the above hours.
All motorists need to be cautious while driving in this area both Friday and Saturday. Additionally, motorists should also be mindful of crew on the side of the road.

For 60 years, doctors have believed women were born with all the eggs they'll ever have. Now Harvard scientists are challenging that dogma, saying they've discovered the ovaries of young women harbor very rare stem cells capable of producing new eggs.
If Sunday's report is confirmed, harnessing those stem cells might one day lead to better treatments for women left infertile because of disease — or simply because they're getting older.
"Our current views of ovarian aging are incomplete. There's much more to the story than simply the trickling away of a fixed pool of eggs," said lead researcher Jonathan Tilly of Harvard's Massachusetts General Hospital, who has long hunted these cells in a series of controversial studies.
Tilly's previous work drew fierce skepticism, and independent experts urged caution about the latest findings.
A key next step is to see whether other laboratories can verify the work. If so, then it would take years of additional research to learn how to use the cells, said Teresa Woodruff, fertility preservation chief at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.
Still, even a leading critic said such research may help dispel some of the enduring mystery surrounding how human eggs are born and mature.
"This is going to spark renewed interest, and more than anything else it's giving us some new directions to work in," said David Albertini, director of the University of Kansas' Center for Reproductive Sciences. While he has plenty of questions about the latest work, "I'm less skeptical," he said.
Scientists have long taught that all female mammals are born with a finite supply of egg cells, called ooctyes, that runs out in middle age. Tilly, Mass General's reproductive biology director, first challenged that notion in 2004, reporting that the ovaries of adult mice harbor some egg-producing stem cells. Recently, Tilly noted, a lab in China and another in the U.S. also have reported finding those rare cells in mice.
But do they exist in women? Enter the new work, reported Sunday in the journal Nature Medicine.
First Tilly had to find healthy human ovaries to study. He collaborated with scientists at Japan's Saitama Medical University, who were freezing ovaries donated for research by healthy 20-somethings who underwent a sex-change operation.
Tilly also had to address a criticism: How to tell if he was finding true stem cells or just very immature eggs. His team latched onto a protein believed to sit on the surface of only those purported stem cells and fished them out. To track what happened next, the researchers inserted a gene that makes some jellyfish glow green into those cells. If the cells made eggs, those would glow, too.
"Bang, it worked — cells popped right out" of the human tissue, Tilly said.
Researchers watched through a microscope as new eggs grew in a lab dish. Then came the pivotal experiment: They injected the stem cells into pieces of human ovary. They transplanted the human tissue under the skin of mice, to provide it a nourishing blood supply. Within two weeks, they reported telltale green-tinged egg cells forming.
That's still a long way from showing they'll mature into usable, quality eggs, Albertini said.
And more work is needed to tell exactly what these cells are, cautioned reproductive biologist Kyle Orwig of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, who has watched Tilly's work with great interest.

Judge explains timing of ruling allowing Busti demolitions
The sight of excavators tearing down vacant houses near the Peace Bridge on a chilly Saturday morning in February recalled so many demolitions in Buffalo that had been given a green light late on a Friday afternoon.
But a federal judge Wednesday said there was nothing "underhanded" about the timing of his decision issued at 3:55 p.m. on the Friday before the Saturday demolition, and he dismissed the lawsuit that had sought to prevent the demolition.
But before the suit was dismissed, a lawyer for preservationists and neighbors had the opportunity Wednesday to ask the judge why his February decision was issued late on a Friday afternoon.
"Because of the timing, there was really no opportunity for the plaintiffs to file a notice of appeal," said attorney Richard G. Berger, who represents the Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture and Culture.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy said releasing the decision late on a Friday afternoon was not intentional and that it was a complex case.
"I did spend a lot of time on trying to get it right," he said. "There wasn't anything underhanded about the timing."
The judge acknowledged he couldn't speak for an appeals court but said that if it was any consolation, he wouldn't have ruled favorably on an attempt by the plaintiffs to halt the decision from taking effect.
"I didn't consider it in my mind to be a close call," McCarthy said.
McCarthy's 23-page decision to deny a preliminary injunction that would have prevented the demolition of the houses on Busti Avenue was issued Feb. 22, two months after lawyers for the campaign and the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority argued the case in court for two hours.
"To me it was a very fascinating issue, there was a lot to wrestle with," McCarthy said, acknowledging that the issues raised in the lawsuit were ones he hadn't had to confront in prior cases.
"In this case, I hope in every case, I gave it my best shot," he said.
The decision ruled in the campaign's favor in some matters but ultimately cleared the way for the demolitions to begin.
The lawsuit, filed in June, had stopped demolition work already under way, said Bridge Authority lawyer Adam S. Walters.
The contractor wasn't going to get paid until the work was completed and was therefore motivated to finish the work as quickly as possible after the decision was rendered, Walters told the court.
The houses, on eight contiguous parcels between Vermont and Rhode Island streets, were owned by the Bridge Authority, which is planning a landscaped area in their place.
Neighbors appeared divided on whether the houses should stand, with some calling them eyesores and others saying they provided a physical buffer between the bridge and their neighborhood.
McCarthy's ruling indicated that the properties were dilapidated and unsafe, though preservationists had argued that several houses had historical value and were worthy of being preserved.
Lawyers agreed Wednesday that since the houses had been demolished, nothing was left to be decided, and McCarthy dismissed the case.

Braves second baseman Dan Uggla made $13 million this season, more money than any of his teammates did. That seems like a pretty OK deal for a second baseman that can hit 22 home runs in 448 at-bats. Except that Dan Uggla also sucks, and now he sucks bad enough to be left off the Braves' roster for the upcoming NLDS.
Word that Uggla—who hit .179 this year and struck out 171 times—might become a playoff-roster casualty first got out yesterday, when the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that the Braves were seriously considering leaving their second baseman at home. Today, it became official.
Now, this doesn't mean that Uggla will be sitting at home for the entirety of the playoffs—the Braves could bring him back for their NLCS roster if they advance past the first round—but it's hard to imagine the team bringing back a guy who was 10-for-101 with one extra base hit in his last 36 games.
The good news for Uggla is that he still has two years left on his $62 million deal. Sorry about that, Braves fans.

Pentagon Grounds F-35 Fighter Jets as Fire Is Investigated
Lockheed Martin Planes Have Suffered a String of Technical Problems
The Pentagon late Thursday grounded its entire fleet of Lockheed Martin Corp. F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets as it investigates the cause of a June 23 engine fire on one of the planes.
Additional inspections of the jets, which aren't yet in service, have been ordered following initial findings of the accident probe, the Defense Department said in a statement. "Return to flight will be determined based on inspection results and analysis of engineering data."...

There was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. (Luke 2:25)
Luke doesnt tell us how much time passed between Simeons revelation that he would see the Messiah and the day Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the Temple. But as each day dawned, you can imagine Simeon wondering, Is this the day? Every morning was probably filled with expectation and trust that God would keep his promise.
We can imagine Simeon praying each day and wondering what the Messiah would be like. How would he recognize him? He may have had many ideas but didnt want them to cloud his vision when the Messiah actually arrived. Surely he pored over the Torah and the prophets for insights, even as he tried to read the signs of the times.
As a result, every day that he prayed and pondered Gods word, every time he recalled Gods promise, Simeon became more and more prepared to see Jesus. His heart grew softer and more sensitive to the Holy Spirit. So every day that Jesus did not appear was not a waste or a huge disappointment. Simeon was getting holier!
Speaking of the promised Messiah, the prophet Malachi asked, Who will endure the day of his coming? (Malachi 3:2). Simeons life reflected the answer to this question. It is the one who comes to God day after day and reaffirms that God is faithful, loving, true to his word, and just in all he does. These are the ones who will stand. These are the ones who will hear. These are the ones who will proclaim who Jesus is to the world.
Do you believe that every moment that you pray bears fruit? Every time you come to the Lord, he molds your heart and teaches your mindwhether you recognize it or not. Every day, Jesus is making you ready to receive him when he comes again. So approach his throne of grace today, anticipating his touch. Tell him that you want to receive his grace and his truth. Then, like Simeon, you too will be able to abide the day of Jesus coming.
Father, I love you. I come to you today filled with gratitude that you welcome me. Your promises are true, and I rejoice in the ways you are molding my heart even now.
Malachi 3:1-4; Psalm 24:7-10; Hebrews 2:14-18

Corsair Hydro H80 Review
Cooling down that multi-core CPU can be accomplished with the stock heat sink delivered by the CPU manufacturer, be it Intel or AMD. However, it just does not do a very good job of it. Even at stock clock speeds, the delivered temperatures are "high" for an enthusiast's tastes. This stock cooling solution is meant to keep the silicon within the thermal boundaries set by the manufacturer and must do so in all the chips running in cramped, poorly ventilated cases that are the hallmark of the mass builder. When you think of it, how many die prematurely from running to hot? Cooling and chassis technology have come a long way, with products out now that allow us, enthusiasts and gamers, to step away from that poorly ventilated case and CPU running at stock speeds.
Massive heat sinks and fans can be used to effectively cool down the CPU. Case fans have stretched all the way up to 300mm in chassis that blow air well enough to keep the inside air the same as the outside ambient temperature. Liquid cooling systems can be had from mild (small, self-contained, modestly priced) to wild (full-on systems with separate radiators, pumps, and blocks for the CPU and GPU). Any which way you want to cut it, there is a solution for everyone, but the item that holds our interest for this brief moment is the self-contained liquid cooling solution. Asetek and Coolit were the early primary players in this field and offered up innovative solutions for cooling your processor and more. Both were not that well known to the average enthusiast.
Corsair, on the other hand, had the name recognition and struck gold with the Hydro Series H50 and H70. These first two offerings were put together in partnership with Asetek, while with the Hydro H60, the H80, and the upcoming H100, Corsair has moved to CoolIt for its expertise in putting together and building a high performance all-in-one liquid cooling system. While the 38mm thick radiator looks like a holdout from the H70, the H80 gets the upgrades from the H60, which include a cooling plate with a new micro-channel design, a split-flow manifold, and a push-button control for the fan speed of the dual fans. If the Hydro Series H80 is as capable as the older H70, then Corsair should have another winner on its hands. Let's dig a little deeper into what Corsair is offering in this latest liquid cooling solution.
Closer Look:
Much like most retail boxes, the packaging of the Corsair Hydro Series H80 is chock full of information. On the front panel there is a close-up of the pump/cooling plate and a full view of the system in the bottom left, with the socket compatibility just under the main image. All current sockets from AMD and Intel are supported, including Intel's upcoming Socket 2011 Sandybridge-E processors. The back side shows that the H80 supports Corsair Link Digital technology, shows the benefits of a double thick radiator and dual fans, and talks about the push-button control for the radiator fans. The top shows several more images of what the Hydro Series H80 looks like, as well as again pointing out that the H80 supports Corsair Link Digital in six languages.
Inside the package is a formed cardboard shell that holds the Corsair Hydro Series H80 and all the parts associated with it, including the fans, pump assembly, mounting hardware, radiator assembly, and documentation. The formed cardboard shell does a good job of keeping the hardware in one spot to prevent damage.
Included in the package are the bundled accessories that enable the Corsair Hydro Series H80 to be mounted on a variety of platforms. Documentation includes the instructions, product guide, and a warning not to take this product back to the point of purchase if something is not right. The accessory package includes the Intel and AMD adapters, as well as the common parts kit that includes screws, washers, mounting plates, and all the associated hardware needed to mount the Hydro Series H80 on the latest and upcoming platforms from Intel and AMD.
Now that we know what the package holds, it's time to see how it goes together and how well it works.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The Student Center Complex was filled with excitement and raging fans from all over the country for the final day of the 2013 Women's Collegiate Wrestling Association (WCWA) National Championships. Adding to the excitement was a new team National Champion and two individuals from King University that earned their first titles. Alli Ragan and Kat Perez won their first individual championships to compliment their three runner-up placements.
Alli Ragan (Carbondale, Ill.) earned three wins by technical fall leading into her championship bout against Monica Ramirez (Lindenwood). Though her championship was not won by tech fall, she completed the tournament without having allowed a single point with a 3-0, 6-0 win for her first national championship. In the first period, Ragan recorded three takedowns before cruising to a 6-0 second-period win, stopped with more than a minute remaining.
"It's awesome. It was one of my many goals to accomplish this year," said Ragan. "I knew coming into it, I was like 'okay, I can do it this year'. I was seeded number one and I was like 'this is my time'."
Katarina (Kat) Perez (El Centro, Calif.) entered the match against her teammate, Sarah Hildebrandt, riding off the emotional wave of defeating OCU's Brieana Delgado (5-1, 1-1). Both wrestlers entered the match cautiously but Perez went in for an attack as the final seconds of the first period began to wind off the clock. With a scoop and a slam, Perez dropped her teammate to the mat, barely inside the boundary, just before the buzzer sounded and was awarded a point for a takedown to win the first. Both went back to a tactical approach and deflected one another's attack attempts until the middle of the second when Perez wrapped herself around Hildebrandt following a reach in and put her to the ground, awarding her the clinching point and a national title.
"Kat did a great job," said King head coach Jason Moorman. "It was a little difficult to coach. I just let them go out and wrestle each other. She got her offense and won her first national championship. She wrestled really tough.
She has dealt with a lot of injuries since she's been here," continued Moorman. "When she does come back she gives 100 percent. This has been one of her goals since she's been here at King, to be a national champion. She has a lot of passion about accomplishing that goal."
The Lady Tornado placed third in the team standings, finishing behind new WCWA National Champion Simon Fraser University (British Columbia, Canada) and runner-up Oklahoma City University. The Clan entered the finals round in second place but came back and won the final two bouts at 170 and 191 to overcome the five-time defending national champion Stars, 116-109. King finished with 87 points for a stronghold on the third position, overall.
King also featured three individuals that earned runner-up honors in their respective weight classes. Hildebrandt, who came into the tournament as the top-seed, allowed only one point heading into the title bout while accumulating three wins. After a pin and decision win on day one, the sophomore defeated Tiffany Sluik (Jamestown) in the semifinal round (0-1, 1-0, 1-0) with back-to-back wins in the clinch to set up a teammate-teammate title bout.
Defending 109-pound national champion Emily Martin (Frisco, Texas) battled a strong Victoria Anthony (SFU) in the title bout and displayed a well-balanced mix of aggressiveness and tactical strategy in a low-scoring affair. The former Olympic alternate, Anthony, won the first period with a single takedown (1-0). The second period, both dueled back-and-forth to a 0-0 score, leading to the tie-breaking clinch. Anthony won the draw and chose to take the bottom position. On the whistle, Anthony drove her to the ground for a one-point takedown and the victory, 1-0, 1-0.
Fourteen King wrestlers were awarded All-American honors for placing in the top-8 of their respective weight brackets. This included five fourth-place finishes (Shannon Constantine, 101; Kayla Brendlinger, 116; Amanda Hendey, 143; Lorrie Ramos, 170; Malexis McAdoo, 191), one fifth-place finisher in Samantha Klingel (116), two sixth-place finishers (Ashley Iliff, 101; Victoria Nguyen, 116), and Kerri Bumper's eight-place finish at 170.
Among the King All-Americans, two were freshman (Iliff, McAdoo) and three were participating in their first WCWA National Championship (Hendey).
"We really were really to get that monkey off her [Alli Ragan] back. She finally got her national championship and I know she is feeling really good about that. We're really excited to just to start focusing on her Senior USA events.
Prior to the finals beginning, the WCWA recognized wrestlers and teams with strong academic standings. King was one of three schools that earned the Team Scholar Award, joining OCU and Wayland Baptist. To qualify, the team must sponsor a minimum of 10 wrestlers at the National Championships and have a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Victoria Nguyen represented King on an individual basis and was named a WCWA Scholar-Athlete, one of only 12 in the tournament (must be sophomore status and have a 3.5 GPA or higher).
Additional awards included Simon Fraser head coach Mike Jones earning WCWA Coach of the Year and 130 pounder Helen Maroulis (SFU) was named WCWA Wrestler of the Year.

Armed robbers at a Canton drive-thru shot the clerk and threatened to shoot him again before they fled with the cash.
Detectives continued to investigate the Wednesday night shooting that left a drive-thru clerk in a local hospital emergency room.
Capt. Dave Davis, who heads the police department's Detective Bureau, said that around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday, two men wearing masks and gloves walked into Bub's Drive-Thru, 2401 Tuscarawas St. E.
"The clerk was immediately shot in the right calf by the gun-wielding assailant," Davis said. "They told him to stay on the ground or he would be shot in the head."
Davis said the men took the cash drawer and fled with an undisclosed amount of money, heading east on Tuscarawas in a gray, four-door car, "possibly a Honda or a Toyota."
The victim's injuries were not described as life-threatening, he said.
The clerk's condition was not available on Thursday.
Police continued to look for the men on Thursday.
They were both described as black men. One was 5 feet, 5 inches tall and about 200 pounds. The other was 6 feet, 3 inches tall and about 250 pounds.
Davis asked that anyone with information about the robbers or the incident to call detectives at 330-489-3144 or leave an anonymous tip through TIP411 at cantonohio.gov/police.

42nd Street Forever Vol. 3: Exploitation Explosion (US - DVD R1)
Gabe releases rats and vagrants into his living room to complete the experience...
Quite often the best thing about an exploitation film is its concept and a few choice scenes of sex and violence. There are few things in this world as disappointing as a boring exploitation vehicle. Synapse Films has saved us from this fate by releasing this third volume in their 42nd Street Forever trailer collection, subtitled Exploitation Explosion.
During the golden era of the grindhouse, from the late '60s through the early '80s, trailers were not afraid of spoiling every good moment in the movie they were advertising, much to the chagrin of the poor saps that paid to see them. This DVD, brimming with more then fifty trailers from several exploitation subgenres, is a pretty solid sampling, considering it's the studio's third collection release (fourth if you count the XXX specific release). I've only seen five of the films included here, but can guess that the majority I haven't seen isn't worth a full ninety minutes of my time.
At one hundred and one minutes the collection is a bit of a patience tester, but the concept's attention deficit nature allows for on and off viewing. Another nice possibility is watching this disc with a group of your rowdiest friends. The eclectic subgenre selection is both a plus and a minus, though I should note that the categories are divided by type when watched all at once. I'm a bigger fan of horror, spaghetti westerns, kung fu, samurai, and revenge movies then I am of T & A or fratsploitation subgenres. I'd prefer genre specific trailer releases, but can understand why Synapse would want to spread this stuff out.
There has been some effort made to make these trailers discernable (I'm sure that the source material was awful in most cases), but nobody at Synapse is bending over backwards to make them look great. I'm not complaining, obviously, because the gritty, blotchy, artefacty, streaky and generally dirty nature of these trailers is half their fun. Colours are pretty strong throughout, and details are sharp enough to get us by. The presentation is anamorphically enhanced, with several different aspect ratios appropriately displayed, and progressively scanned.
Again, nobody's looking for perfection here, and Synapse does not disappoint. Every single trailer is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono. The sound is flat as a pancake, and fizzles with distortion, but it's clear enough to discern the wacky music, the cheesy dialogue, and most importantly, the gravely narration. Like the video, the audio quality differs slightly with each trailer, but the overall the disc is pretty consistent.
Our main extra is a fact filled commentary from Fangoria managing editor Michael Gingold, Film Historian Chris Poggiali and AV Maniacs (formally DVDManiacs.net) editor Edwin Samuelson. The commentary works as a piece of entertainment and for its educational merit. Watching fifty two or three minute snippets from fifty different movies is a bit overwhelming, but our trusty commentators are right there with us, guiding us through the facts of the good, bad, and ugly cases. Not only will an attentive listener learn all about the fifty plus films on the collection, but they'll also learn what the actors, director, and producers did outside of each film, and they're never too dry or cold with the material.
A small collection of vintage television spots finishes the disc off. Some of these TV spots are for films not otherwise featured on this volume three collection.
The 42nd Street Forever series is aimed at a pretty small audience, but passing fans of exploitation cinema, specifically those that thought the fake trailers were the best part of Grindhouse will likely enjoy volume three for at least a rent. The expert audio commentary is a huge plus as well.

"Some Samsung printers, including models the Korean company made for Dell, have a backdoor administrator account coded into their firmware, says US CERT.
The brief vulnerability notice does not mention which models have the account, but does say "The vendor has stated that models released after October 31, 2012 are not affected by this vulnerability." Which will be welcome relief for those who acquired a printer in the last month."

You'd be amazed at the number of pwnable printers... At school we'd dump our Warez onto them, they also have a fair amount of storage on the bigger models, default passwords & pwnable firmware. You can even modify what they display on the screen...

"All Things New"
Jason Murphy has traded in his catcher's mask for the pulpit and now the pen. Murphy, the pastor of First Assembly of God Church in Collierville, Tenn., has published his first book, "All Things New." Released earlier this week by Main Street Books, "All Things New" is based on Rev. 21:5. "When we place our faith in Jesus Christ, He makes all things new," said Murphy, the son of Dell and Judy Murphy of Bastrop. "He gives us a new mind and new hope. It's an encouraging book." Murphy took on the project after a church member introduced him to publisher Jonathan Lindburg. "Writing a book was something I have always kind of wanted to do," Murphy said. "One of our church members knew Jonathan. We started talking and turned my transcripts into a book." Like many — it would probably be accurate to say most — ministers, Murphy never intended to become a preacher. "That was not on the radar," Murphy said. Murphy says the call to preach came under humble circumstances. "Oddly enough, it happened when I was going to college," said Murphy, who was a junior at Libscomb (Tenn.) University at the time. "I was going to church in Nashville at Oak Hill Assembly and became friends with the youth pastor. One Saturday night, I was helping the youth pastor clean the church, getting it ready for Sunday morning. While I was vacuuming the floor, the Lord called me to preach. It changed my life, obviously." Although there was no burning bush, bright lights or an audible voice, Murphy said the call to the ministry was unmistakable. "It was not an audible voice — it was so strong, it seemed like it," Murphy said. "It was in my heart." Heeding the call, Murphy began preaching right away at truck stops, homeless shelters, prisons and even on street corners. Graduating from college a year later, in 1999, Murphy stepped into the youth pastor's role at Oak Hill Assembly when his friend moved out of state. "Right about the time I graduated from college, the door opened and I went into the ministry full-time," Murphy said. Returning closer to home, Murphy pastored his first church, Rayville Assembly of God, before moving to New Life Assembly of God in Owasso, Okla. An All-State catcher at Prairie View, Murphy went on to play college baseball at Hinds (Miss.) Community College and Lipscomb where he majored in political science with a minor in communications. Murphy and his wife, the former Kelly Higginbotham of Bastrop, reside in Olive Branch, Miss. with their three children — Josiah (9), Kylah (7) and Moriah (2). "All Things New" is available through the Collierville Assembly web site at www.colliervilleag.com. Murphy's sermons, both live stream and archived, may be heard at www.colliervilleag.com.

Cambodian PM says ready for talks with opposition
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Cambodia's long-serving prime minister said Wednesday that his party was willing to talk with the opposition to resolve complaints that last weekend's general election was unfair. The gesture, from a leader not usually given to compromise, represents an acknowledgement that his opponents' strong showing in the polls could threaten his grip on power.
Prime Minister Hun Sen's ruling party has claimed that it won 68 parliamentary seats to the opposition's 55 in Sunday's election according to provisional official results.
However, the opposition, which increased its number of seats from 29 in the last National Assembly, could boycott the opening of parliament, leaving the lawmaking body short of a quorum and stymieing the formation of a new government.
Hun Sen spoke at his first public appearance since Sunday's polls, striking a conciliatory tone without making any major commitments. He said his Cambodian People's Party was ready to compromise.
The prime minister said that senior officials from his party were ready to open talks with their counterparts in the opposition, and that while he felt constrained from taking part because he was in mourning for the recent death of his father, he would talk directly with opposition leader Sam Rainsy if necessary.
His offer came after Sam Rainsy's opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party escalated its challenge to the election results, claiming it had actually won a majority of assembly seats. The party did not immediately respond to Hun Sen's remarks.
The party had already called for an investigation of voting irregularities, including registration problems that could have disenfranchised more than 1 million people. There have also been accounts of people voting who were not entitled to.
Yim Sovann, a spokesman for the opposition, said that that based on reports from party workers and election observers, his party had won at least 63 of the assembly's 123 seats. Sam Rainsy made a similar claim late Tuesday to a small group of reporters.
Speaking at the construction site for a flyover bridge in Phnom Penh, the capital, Hun Sen conceded that his party had lost seats, but said it led according to provisional results.
"Whether the number of seats in parliament increases or decreases is not important for us, but the main point is working for the sake of our entire nation," said Hun Sen, whose party had 90 seats in the outgoing assembly.
He told reporters that Cambodians should settle the matter among themselves rather than rely on the assistance of other countries — a remark that could be taken as a dig against Sam Rainsy, who actively lobbies foreign governments and rights organizations for support.
Hun Sen said he had heard that the state National Election Committee — generally seen as pro-government and criticized for failing to address registration problems before the election — was inclined to support the opposition's demand to set up an independent committee to investigate election problems.
If this was true, he said, it was a positive development.
The opposition's complaints have been supported by a number of nonpartisan Cambodian and foreign groups.
U.S.-based Human Rights Watch charged Wednesday that the ruling party "appears to have been involved in electoral fraud" in the election, citing residents and ruling party officials it interviewed.
"Senior ruling party officials appear to have been involved in issuing fake election documents and fraudulently registering voters in multiple provinces," Brad Adams, the group's Asia director, said in a statement. "And people from the party seem to have been turning up in places where they clearly don't live and insisting on voting — not to mention the many other claims of fraud around the country."
Hun Sen, who has led Cambodia for 28 years, has a reputation as a tough and wily politician. His party, with the aid of a pliant judiciary, might find a legal loophole to get around an opposition boycott of parliament, or could just continue ruling as a caretaker government, but would find its legitimacy under question at home and abroad.
The opposition's victory claim is evidently part of a strategy to keep pressure on the government, especially while there is still some foreign interest in the election. The United States said Monday that it was "concerned by numerous reported irregularities in the electoral process."
"We call for a transparent and full investigation of all credible reports of irregularities," U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in Washington.
The opposition party has asked voters who were denied their ballots to offer their testimony at the party headquarters in Phnom Penh. About 500 turned up Wednesday morning.
Sam Rainsy told the crowd that their collected complaints would be presented to the National Election Committee and other interested bodies.
"It is a tremendous moment in our history that despite the large-scale theft of votes, our party still won the election," he told the crowd, which chanted "Long live the CNRP."

I'm a new baremetal user as well, but I'm confused by your question
I want to run an app on cores running linux.
If it's baremetal, then there is no OS running on the cores. All you got running on the cores is your baremetal program. I thought that's what baremetal was all about.
2. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkvjain27 Aug 26, 2011 10:44 AM (in response to tedk)
Sorry for the confusion. Actually I am sharing the SCC with other users and it has currently linux loaded on all the cores.
So just wanted to ask if I should explicitly reset the cores or the framework will do it automatically when it launches a baremetal app?
3. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworktedk Aug 26, 2011 11:58 AM (in response to vjain27)1 of 1 people found this helpful
Well, I booted SCC Linux on all my cores. I looked ay sccPerf in the Gui. All the arrows were green, indicating that SCC Linux was running on the cores. I then had to quit the Gui because the launcher will not run at the same time as sccGui. Then, I ran "launcher -z8 hello". Then, I brought up the Gui again and now all the cores have gray arrows. It looks as if the launcher reset all the cores.
You can use the Gui even as a remote user although many users prefer not to. Remotely, VNC works better than X11 forwarding, If you do not use the Gui, you can check whether SCC Linux is running by issuing "sccBoot -s".
I think it makes sense that running a baremetal program resets Linux on the cores on which you run the program. But it does look as if it resets all the cores.

5. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkhoffman Aug 27, 2011 11:26 AM (in response to vjain27)1 of 1 people found this helpful
- as ted kindly pointed out, the eti launcher does reset all the cores and
runs your application without an operating system. linux would need to
be rebooted on the cores in order to use it after using the launcher
- no, there currently isn't any way to specify which nodes get used. the
cores are assigned in a contiguous block starting at core 0.
i can see why it might be interesting. this is something we can consider
- mpb should be the default mode for streams and mpi communication
- scc_find_region was intended to allow the user to query the local core address
for the various resources that the launcher maps into the core's memory. the
original reason for exposing this was to allow users to specify the '-r' flag
to the launcher, and then use the mpbs for their own communications rather
than the streams interface
unfortunately, the rest of the resources (other cores gpbs, etc) are rather
haphazardly represented, and this might be cleaned up in later releases
6. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkhoffman Aug 27, 2011 11:43 AM (in response to tedk)
its not really necessary to reset all the cores....but while brining it up we've had problems with
rouge programs still executing from earlier runs and screwing things up
this is behaviour that can of course be changed
7. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkvjain27 Aug 31, 2011 1:39 AM (in response to hoffman)
Thanks Hoffman!
I just have one more query. I looked at this old post which mentions that ETI's framework uses
DRAM for messaging.
I know the post is quite old and things might have changed but just wanted to confirm
if they have changed the framework so that both MPI and streams api use mpb.
I am using the version compatible with scc 1.3
Vaibhav Jain
8. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkhoffman Aug 31, 2011 9:50 AM (in response to vjain27)
ok, sorry, I misspoke. its been a few months and our use of the terminology is confusing.
the ETI code currently uses dram for the message bodies, and the MPB for the
synchronization pointers. with this arrangement we get similar bandwidth numbers
as RCCE, but are able to cover larger control transfer latencies. I suspect
though this leaves us more subject to contention problems.
this would be easy to add as a flag in a later release. you can also explore the use of the -r flag
which maps the MPBs and lets you do what you want with them. with -r the channels use
to communicate with the launcher are allocated (pointers and bodies) entirely out of DRAM,
and no channels are set up between the backend nodes
9. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkvjain27 Aug 31, 2011 10:55 AM (in response to hoffman)
Hi hoffman,
I wish to experiment with message passing entirely using mpb. Can you please suggest how to proceed after
using the -r option. The user manual says that after using -r MPI and streams are unavailable.
10. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkhoffman Aug 31, 2011 11:33 AM (in response to vjain27)
with the -r option, the messaging that the ETI software uses doesn't use the MPBs, you're free to
play with them as you like. which implies you'd need to write your own messaging layer in
order to use them.
it would be possible to add another mode which drastically reduces the MPI mtu and
allocates the message buffers out of the MPB space. we dont really have alot of resources
to do this, but are looking at various options for ongoing support of the software, so implementing
this is a possiblity
how important is the MPI layer to your work? or are you just interested in looking at messaging
11. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkvjain27 Sep 2, 2011 6:56 AM (in response to hoffman)
I am interested in looking at the messaging performance and don't care much about MPI.
12. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkhoffman Sep 2, 2011 9:37 AM (in response to vjain27)
it should be pretty straightforward to use the '-r' mode and set up ring buffers in the mpbs
in order to run benchmarks. is it acceptable to poll for message arrival, or would you prefer
to use asynchronous interrupts?
13. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkvjain27 Sep 2, 2011 11:03 AM (in response to hoffman)
Actually right now my aim is to gain a better understanding of the system and of the tradeoffs involved in message-passing(such as dram vs mpb).
So to begin with I was thinking of implementing few simple baremetal applications which can use mpb for message passing.
This is basically primitive work. So I was hoping to get some directions and may be some sample code so that I can get started.
I am not looking into running benchmarks and collecting statistics right now (though it might come at a later stage).
14. Re: Queries on ETI Baremetal frameworkhoffman Sep 2, 2011 1:26 PM (in response to vjain27)
well, in ETI land, assuming you are doing polling, all you'd need to do is run
memory_region m;
scc_find_region(MEMORY_REGION_MPB, target, &m)
where m is defined in memory_region.h, and target is the name of the remote node.
m will contain a pointer in your address space to that node's 8k MPB base.
static inline void invalidate_l1_mpb()
__asm__ volatile ( ".byte 0x0f; .byte 0x0a;\n" );
would then be used to flush the lines with the MPB tag

Warriors shake off slow start, beat Hornets 98-88
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Down 11 points early in the second quarter, Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson seemed more than satisfied with the way his team responded.
David Lee finished with 23 points and 16 rebounds, Stephen Curry added 20 points and nine assists and the Warriors shook off a slow start to ease past the New Orleans Hornets 98-88 on Wednesday night.
"There are great leaders on this team that see the finish line," Jackson said. "They see the finish line. They sense it, and they're doing a great job of keeping their foot on the gas pedal, running through the rope. I'm awfully proud of them, but we still have a lot of work to do."
With one eye on the standings and another on the court, the Warriors never looked discouraged.
Jarrett Jack had 19 points and eight assists off the bench against his former team to keep the Warriors in sixth place in the Western Conference playoff chase. Golden State (43-32) remained one game ahead of Houston (42-33), which won 112-102 at Sacramento. The Rockets own the tiebreaker after going 3-1 against the Warriors this season.
Golden State outshot New Orleans 46.2 to 39.8 percent, won the rebounding battler 47 to 39 and fought through foul trouble from its starting backcourt of Curry and Klay Thompson. The Warriors have held three of their last four opponents under 40 percent shooting.
"I think that's the good thing about it. You can go back a couple of games ago where I thought our offense, or lack of offense and making shots, affected us defensively," Jackson said. "Tonight we missed shots, but our defense kept us in the ball game until we began to make shots. That's our brand of basketball."
A style New Orleans never could solve.
Eric Gordon scored 21 points and Robin Lopez had 17 points and seven rebounds for the Hornets, who were swept 4-0 by the Warriors this season. New Orleans led by 11 points in the second quarter before the Warriors surged ahead for good, leading by as much as 16 points in the fourth.
"They switched, they blocked. They did a great job of knowing what we like to do and they really took us out of our offense," said Hornets forward Ryan Anderson, held to three points on 1 of 8 shooting. "They pressured us and we didn't respond very well. I think obviously they stepped it up."
The playoff chase has been evident all over Golden State's faces — literally.
Andrew Bogut convinced his teammates not to shave until the regular-season finale at Portland on April 17 to bond during the playoff push. Golden State closed the homestand 4-1.
With shadows and scruff starting to show, the playoff picture also is becoming clearer.
The Warriors are four games in front of the eighth-place Los Angeles Lakers and 4½ games ahead of the Utah Jazz. Any combination of three Warriors wins or losses by the Jazz would clinch Golden State's first playoff berth since 2007.
"The big thing for us," Lee said, "is continuing to compete."
After not playing since Saturday, Golden State hardly looked like a team headed to the postseason at the start.
At one point in the first quarter, the Warriors missed 10 consecutive shots from the floor during a scoreless stretch of more than 4 minutes. The Hornets took a 30-19 lead early in the second quarter behind a balanced backcourt of Gordon and Greivis Vasquez, though they missed a chance to create more separation when they had the chance.
"We felt like there was a little bit of a lull in the building," Jack said. "The fans were kind of just waiting, chomping at the bit for us to give them something to cheer for."
Once the Warriors found that rhythm, New Orleans struggled to slow them down.
Curry made a pair of 3-pointers and threw a deep pass to Lee for a runaway dunk to highlight a 25-6 surge that gave Golden State a 44-36 lead. Curry added another from beyond the arc to put the Warriors up 51-42 at the break.
New Orleans started strong — and Golden State didn't — again in the second half.
Lopez's short jumper in the lane sliced Golden State's lead to 69-68 late in the third quarter. Jack answered with a 3-pointer on the other end, and Curry hit another at the start of the fourth quarter to put the Warriors up seven and send a 28th straight sellout crowd announced at 19,596 into a frenzy.
Gordon tried to will New Orleans back, but had little help from a young team still trying to find its way. He made 10 of 11 free throws but shot just 5 of 17 from the field.
"Some guys had a tough shooting night but we had more defensive breakdowns in the first half than we've had in full games lately," Hornets coach Monty Williams said. "They did a great job of exploiting that."
NOTES: Hornets reserve F Lance Thomas sat out with a sore foot. Williams said Thomas hurt his foot in a workout Monday and is day to day. ... The Warriors have swept the season series against the Hornets four times in 26 years. ... A moment of silence was held before the game for Greg Willard, a longtime referee who died of pancreatic cancer Monday at age 54.

Put your Rig Building Skill to the test! [challenge!]
Ok so I had a really fun time watching this video of PC Gamer's new superfluous gaming rig. On the surface...you may think nothing of it. I'm guessing they have a budget of around 12k for that rig. What caught my attention though, were the number of amateur mistakes I could spot. Have a look and see how many things you can spot that you'd never do if you were building the "ultimate gaming rig" (in terms of performance) and had 12k and your reputation to blow:

Using the "rice grain" thermal method. Or the thermal paste they used itself.
64GB of Ram. As a "gaming machine", this is a tad unnecessary, as the huge capacity and number of physical sticks is going to toll the IPC a lot more, and performance may suffer. Ie lower OC.
1200W PSU. Seems like they aren't over clocking anything on that system.
The Rep from Digital Storm was pretty good though. Knew his stuff, and didn't look at the camera several times. /s
