Debugging Embedded Linux Platforms with GDB and Python
If you write code for Linux systems, chances are you will have used the venerable GNU Debugger (GDB). Acting as a back end for many GUIs and the interface to various JTAG debugging tools in the embedded world, GDB is the foremost debugger for Linux. As of release 7.0, GDB gained a compelling new capability: support for scripting debugging actions using a Python interpreter. In this article, I take a look at how to drive GDB using Python and apply this knowledge to the vexatious issue of debugging an embedded Linux platform.
Debugging Linux programs on an x86 PC platform, although not necessarily easy, at least is well supported by a variety of tools. Most Linux distributions package development and debugging tools to assist with anything from profiling runtime performance through tracing memory leaks and detecting deadlocks.
Embedded platforms are rarely so well served. Although a number of projects seek to provide the kind of polish and integration for embedded development that is taken for granted on the desktop, these are not yet widely adopted in all areas of embedded Linux development. Many embedded devices are developed using what effectively is a handcrafted Linux distribution, closely tied to the specific goals of that device. The time required to integrate a wide range of handy debugging tools into that environment, especially in the fast-paced world of consumer electronics, is an overhead few teams can meet.
Many embedded platforms seek to save on resource overhead through the use of "low-fat" system libraries (such as uClibc in the place of glibc), which may make the integration of some debugging tools more difficult. Indeed, in some cases, the architecture of the CPU used by the target platform will prevent the use of certain tools altogether. The excellent Valgrind instrumentation framework, for example, has limited support for the ARM architecture and no support at all for MIPS or SuperH.
The nature of embedded devices often means that CPU cycles and memory are scarce. Any debugging tool that weighs too heavily on either may make its use impractical on an embedded device, especially when attempting to debug race conditions and the like.
The net result of this inconsistent provision of debugging tools across the embedded Linux world is that most developers have to makeshift as best they can with the tools that are available. Happily, GDB is widely available for embedded devices because it is easy to cross-compile and supports a wide range of target architectures. And with the recent integration of Python scripting support, GDB can extended beyond the typical debugging tasks of single stepping and variable examination.
GDB has long supported extension via pre-canned sequences of debugger commands. This ability makes it possible to automate certain parts of a debugging work flow and even implement new debugger functions.
Integrating Python into GDB adds an extra dimension to the possibilities of GDB scripting and extension. In addition to the simple functions and flow control of GDB's native scripting language, the full power of the Python language is made available.
The Python GDB API is presented as a Python module called gdb, which provides access to GDB's internal representation of a process under debugging. The module includes interfaces to process information, threads, stack frames, values and types, functions, symbols and break points. In addition, a mechanism is provided to inject commands into the GDB command-line interface.
The result is that the internals of GDB are now available as a rich set of libraries for programmatic driving of the debugger. This creates a whole range of new opportunities for extension and automation. For example, let's imagine you want to debug calls to malloc() in a large application, but you're really interested only in calls from a certain module. Ideally, you want to be able to break execution only when one of the module's functions is in the backtrace at the point that malloc() is called. The Python API gives you that flexibility.
To explore the use of Python within GDB, let's debug a small C program, the code for which is shown in Listing 1. It performs the simple task of printing the phrase "Hello World!" in a rather convoluted manner, and it has at least one obvious bug. Besides being over-engineered for the task at hand, hello_world.c makes use of two mutexes for serializing access to different data structures, and not all users of these mutexes agree on the order in which locks should be acquired. This quickly yields a runtime deadlock.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I've been going to Giovanni's for over 10 years. The owner is related to (and the pizza is made the same as) Tony's pizza in fairfax, Ciro's in Centerville...other offshoots include Mama Lucia in Fairfax and others. It's what I call typical NY Street Pizza - grande cheese, etc. They are pretty good for this. No elite pizza in the area though.
I've never been to La Villa Roma - where is it?

Vitamix 5200 Series Blender 001372-1101
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
One of our top performers, the Vitamix 5200 Series boasts a large 64-ounce clear plastic jar with a non-slip handle and a control panel with 10 speeds. Even with tough-to-puree kale in the ingredient list, the Vitamix made a velvety smooth smoothie. This blender also produced the perfect margarita and finely ground coffee beans in no time. Therefore, we don't see the absence of ice crushing and smoothie settings as a handicap. Keep in mind this blender's base is fairly large and the jar is tall, so finding a home for it on countertops or in cabinets could be troublesome.

Testicular torsion is the twisting of the spermatic cord, which supports the testes in the scrotum. When this occurs, blood supply is cut off to the testicles and nearby tissue in the scrotum .
Torsion of the testis; Testicular ischemia; Testicular twisting
Some men are more prone to this condition because of defects in the connective tissue within the scrotum. The problem may also occur after an injury to the scrotum that results in a lot of swelling or following heavy exercise. In some cases, there is no clear cause.
The condition is more common during the first year of life and at the beginning of adolescence (puberty). However, it may happen in older men.
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease:
The health care provider will examine you. The exam may show:
You may have a Doppler ultrasound of the testicle to check the blood flow. There will be no blood flowing through the area if you have complete torsion. Blood flow may be reduced if the cord is partially twisted.
Most of the time, surgery is needed to correct the problem. Surgery should be done as soon as possible after symptoms begin. If it is performed within 6 hours, most testicles can be saved.
During surgery, the testicle on the other side is often secured into place as well. This is because the unaffected testicle is at risk of testicular torsion in the future.
The testicle may continue to function properly if the condition is found early and treated right away. The chances that the testicle will need to be removed increase if blood flow is reduced for more than 6 hours. However, the testicle may lose its ability to function if torsion has lasted fewer than 6 hours.
The testicle may shrink if blood supply is cut off for an extended time. It may need to be surgically removed. Shrinkage of the testicle may occur days to months after the torsion has been corrected. Severe infection of the testicle and scrotum is also possible if the blood flow is restricted for an extended period.
Get emergency medical attention if you have symptoms of testicular torsion.
Take steps to avoid injury to the scrotum. Many cases cannot be prevented.

5 OH YEAH DEVIL MAY CRY HD YEAHthedon786 | 06/04/2012 | See all thedon786's reviews (13)What are you waiting for. One of the best action series ever. the price isn't so bad either :)
5 Just awesome.Cloudshop | 14/09/2013 | See all Cloudshop's reviews (1)Every bit of real time graphics (that is 99% of the games) are in glorious crystal clear 60fps 720p resolution. Some of the cut scenes which are pre-rendered videos (very few actually) and menus are in Standard Definition fact which doesnt affect at all the gaming experience. Ive been very indecisive because of some negative reviews Ive read but as soon as the games started it was obvious that the HD treatment was excellent. They look awesomely beautiful and there is no comparison to their PS2 counterparts. I waited to beat the 1st DMC game to have a clearer opinion about the collection before writing this review. I hope it will be helpful.
5 AmazingJSuper | 02/07/2012 | See all JSuper's reviews (10)Absolutely amazing, brings back many good memories. Playing through them again is brilliant, some of the best action games ever made, great setting and characters. They all look really good, the HD upgrade has done a good job! and who can complain at the price? 3 amazing games (well, DMC 2 is not bad but not as good as 1 and 3).
4 2 out of 3 ain't badredhead | 04/04/2012 | See all redhead's reviews (32)2 Of the greats game on the PS2 and one Average, every action game fan should try these. The upgrade to HD is nothing special but what else do you except from capcom. all Devil May Cry Fans should buy this to support the original series
3 another capcom let down. only a little improvedbovmalta | 24/07/2013 | See all bovmalta's reviews (29)this game really isn't good . the characters are not cool the videos in the game are bad and always the same fighting all over a game. it is better then onimusha but still a let down. even it isn't very nice like opening doors without watching the handle.

Griffith because he's such the perfect white knight even after making his deal with the devil. The deadliest thing about Griffith isn't even his own power, but his ability to inspire others to follow him. That and as an antagonist, he brings out the best most interesting qualities of the protagonist.

Rival wrote:I agree that it's a problem with the character, I recently read a few issues of the current "Death of the Family" DC event and while Scott Snyder's aim is clearly to write a story where the Joker is a super terrifying genius, the only impression I get is that the Gotham PD and to a lesser extent Batman and his "family" are brain dead morons.
And I mean I love Griffith as much as the next guy, but it's not like the Crimson Behelith thing isn't ridiculously convenient to write, too. All his talents and manipulation are irrelevant, since once he obtained the Behelith he was destined to become a Godhand and after he became one he faces only opponents he overpowers while a Pope gets brainwashed via dreams to hail him as a Prophet to all of humanity, if he hadn't had the Behelith he would've ended up as a cripple for banging the King's daughter. To me "villain is awesome and succeeds because the will of the entire universe wants him to" is exactly as lazy as "villain is awesome and succeeds because the protagonists act like morons".
BobSagat wrote:You've made a few misunderstandings/oversimplifications here about Berserk.
Simply having a Behelith is not enough. Guts carried one for a long time without ever falling to temptation the way Griffith did. And that's an important part of Griffith character, when temptation arrived he is given a glimpse of his future where he is only a cripple and for anyone else, it would have been a content, if uneventful life, but for Griffith it wasn't enough. Griffith made his choice and what he's done and become is a reflection of that. Unlike a character like Joker who is constantly recycled and reused, Griffith's (and 90% of most other characters) actions carry more weight because this is likely the only story in which he'll ever appear.
Destiny, determinism, causality, etc. are all things that ensured Griffith got to where he did. But even so, Griffith was told he's always been free to make the choice himself because he is after all, "the chosen one".

JR wrote:Alex Pietrangelo is here to stay, but it's not guaranteed he will stay.
The rookie defenseman played his ninth NHL game of the season Thursday night against Phoenix. It's been written many times, but I'll mention it again, if Pietrangelo plays his 10th game on Saturday night or whenever, it will count as a full year toward the Blues owning his rights.
What that means is this: When an NHL team drafts a player, that club owns his rights for seven years. When he plays his 10th game in one season, the clock starts on those seven years. It may not seem like a big deal now, but in 2016, when Pietrangelo is 26, the difference of him becoming a restricted free agent or an unrestricted free agent is a big difference.
I mentioned in my Blues' chat Thursday that the team would likely issue a press release following Pietrangelo's ninth game, acknowledging that he is staying. That will NOT happen.
The Blues are not going to make an announcement, and here's the reason: Pietrangelo will stay with the team and he is expected to exceed nine games and probably stay for the year, but there's still a chance (albeit a small chance) that the Blues could send him back to juniors at any time . . . after 15 games, 30 games, 45 games.
The Blues' position is that they don't want to make an announcement saying that Pietrangelo is staying for the year and then have to send him back for WHATEVER reason.
The club realizes that the clock will start on Pietrangelo, and it would be viewed as an unwise decision to waste a year by sending him back to juniors, but that's the window the Blues are leaving themselves.
(For those who are wondering, Pietrangelo can not play in Peoria this season until his junior season with the Niagara Ice Dogs is completed. That is a rule that protects junior teams from having NHL clubs stash their players away in the minors).
My take: I understand that NHL teams don't want players to get too comfortable. But I think Pietrangelo has shown enough maturity and dedication over the past summer that he wouldn't slack off if he were told that he was staying in St. Louis for the entire season. In fact, Pietrangelo would probably benefit from being off probation. That's basically what it is . . . probation. Since last September, he has been living in a suitcase, not knowing where he would be the next week.
The Blues have every intention in keeping him in St. Louis all year. Perhaps their motivation for not making it official has nothing to do with whether Pietrangelo would get too comfortable. Perhaps they're staying mum because they don't know if their defensive depth will stay healthy, or if they'll be able to trade some of that depth. If those are the reasons for staying quiet, that's understandable.
Still, it would be nice for Pietrangelo to unpack his bags.

Steven Soderbergh is in the midst of his final jaunt behind the camera, in production on the Liberace biopic "Behind The Candelabra", with Michael Douglas as the famed performer and Matt Damon as his young lover. Liberace was famed for being the world's highest-paid entertainer at one point, and enjoyed his fortune with an extravagant lifestyle. Soderbergh revealed that while plans are still coming together for the movie, which is set up at HBO, he hopes to take it to Cannes on May 2013.
The movie is based on the book "Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace" written by Liberace's lover Scott Thorson who met him when when he was seventeen in 1976. Liberace had promised Thorson, who was raised in foster homes, that he would adopt and care for him and eventually the performer incorporated his lover into his lavish Las Vegas stage performances.
Liberace's story is tragic and his relationship with Scott Thorson was not less extravagant than some of his outfits. Liberace always publicly denied that he was homosexual and insisted that Thorson was never his lover. He went to great lengths until his dead from AIDS to cover his sexuality. To get an idea of how eccentric their life was, read the following excerpt from an interview with Scott Thorsonon on Larry King Live that aired on August 12, 2002:
Thorson: Well, he brought the surgeons in. I picked him up in my Rolls-Royce. I drove. They were in Las Vegas. I picked him up and brought him to a Las Vegas mansion on Shirley Street. And Lee was introduced to the doctor and he says, "I want you to come with me." And Lee walked him through — went into the — you know, into the bedroom and said — there was a picture of Liberace. Oh, I guess he was probably in his 30s, Larry. He says, "I want you to create Scott to look like me when he was younger; so he looks like my son." He wanted me as his son. But at the same time, he wanted me as his lover.
The romance ended due to the pianist's sexual promiscuity and Thorson's drug addiction, which led him to contract Hepatitis C. In 1982, Thorson filed a $113 million lawsuit against Liberace, with the palimony suit being the more famous part. But in 1986, the pair reportedly settled out of court for $95,000, two cars, and two pet dogs.
Scott reconciled with Liberace on his death bed, and a year later published the book Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace on which the film is based.
Watch below a short clip of Liberace's Entrance to a las vegas show, featuring all the glamour and glitter only Lee Himself could pull off.… Freaturing Scott Thorson as the limousine Driver.

Go check out the new Bunnywith comic!
ninnypants wrote:Finally a bunny with with that horrible bunny penis covered. I mean honestly that penis is sick.
We all know that bunnies don't have penises, or at least I do. I've been hunting them for years and have never seen one with a penis. You know why that is? Because bunnies reproduce through cellular division, so they don't need genitals. I wish Alex would have paid attention in biology so that he too had this immense knowledge of bunnies. If he had known this I'm sure he wouldn't have brought that disgusting part of the comic into this world.
As I continue to sit here in my office sipping from my glass of orange soda I hope all of you can share the same joy that I have found in the fact that the horrible bunny penis was covered.

4 Awesome- kinect must have game!redfraggle13 | 09/02/2012 | See all redfraggle13's reviews (22)If you have kids or are young at heart you must own this game, had this a few weeks now and con honestly say its one of the best kinect games i've played to date (i'm a kinect games reviewer) the controls although awkward at first are easy to pick up (best for ages 5+). There is so much to do/discover and collect, you can walk all around the park or activate menu to transport to anywhere on the map, collect autographs, go on rides, play mini games, take photographs, unlock secrets, buy merchandise .......list goes on and on. I've played 2-3 hours and completed 10% so as you can see its a big game. for the money you can not find any better.
5 great funhammers21 | 10/01/2012 | See all hammers21's reviews (5)Got this for my kids and they can get me of it. One of the best if not the best kinect game...
5 Just like the real thing!JonAgirre | 08/12/2012 | See all JonAgirre's reviews (8)As other reviewers have noted, the attention put into detail is enormous. It has many types of minigames, which should be revisited after the park characters give you certain quests, such as obtaining 5 forks for Ariel in an on-rails minigame you already cleared as part of a "Finding Nemo" attraction. Two player coop is drop in drop out, easy and satisfactory. With the latest XBOX system update, voice commands have started to work noticeably better, stepping up from getting a rough 40% OK to mostly 95% OK.I advise you to install this game in the hard disk. Loading times are excessive sometimes, and can ultimately bore your kids. Not you, who have probably endured those Spectrum or MSX hard times with loading lapses of over 10 minutes back in the eighties. Some tech, eh?Overall, this is a very good game, perhaps not perfect but it is as good as any kinect game can get to deal with something like disneyworld/land. You'll also find its price to be ridiculous after you discover the gigantic amount of detail put into those graphics, design, music and sound effects. This is a truly impressive effort, not a quick cash-in as some might, and should, think at first sight. The videogame market, as any market, is not an honest one, specially not today.
5 great fun for the familymax573 | 11/08/2012 | See all max573's reviews (5)having been to the park in florida you could see the care and attention put in to this game, the whole family loved it. the controls do take a bit of time to learn but loads to do with hours of fun
5 Kinect Disneyland Adventureslennonjohn | 31/12/2011 | See all lennonjohn's reviews (2)Bought this for my 5 year old for Christmas and he hasn't stopped playing it, thats if he can get his 15 year old sister off of it, loads of exercise, excellent games and easy to follow instructions around the park. Best Kinect game to date

Ingredients & Description
Echinacea Glycerites are a great tasting alternative to traditional liquid supplements. The bitter, pungent taste of Echinacea in liquid extract form makes it difficult for many people, especially children, to ingest. The Echinacea used in Echinacea Glycerites is first extracted in alcohol to harness all the benefits of the herb. Then, the alcohol is evaporated off and naturally sweet glycerin is used as the carrier. Available in delicious lemon, peppermint and orange flavors, these are sure to be a hit with kids of any age!Since it was first introduced into American Medicine by Native Americans in the late 1800's, Echinacea has been one of the most widely used herbs on this continent. With modern research, scientists worldwide are validating the many ways in which Echinacea can strengthen the body's defenses. Echinacea's popularity continues to grow - it is one of the most useful herbs to keep on hand for household use.
Planetary Formulas offers three different products containing premium grade, freshly harvested, pure Echinacea. Obtaining freshly harvested material is essential because Echinacea plants rapidly lose their potency when exposed to heat and light. Once powdered, they can lose their strength in as little as six months.Our harvesters send us whole roots of the current seasons Echinacea. The roots are custom powdered, tableted or extracted immediately, and placed in tightly sealed, light-proof or amber bottles. This insures that every bit of Echinacea potency is maintained. When properly prepared, Echinacea can remain vitally potent for years.
Suggested use: 3 times daily. Children under age 6: 15 drops, age 6-10: 30 drops, Age 11-adult: 60 drops.
Supplement Facts for Orange Liquid Serving Size: 60 Drops (approx. 2.0 ml) Amount%DV - Proprietary Extract Blend: Echinacea Angustifolia Root, and Echinacea Purpurea Root and Seed.2 ml
Other Ingredients: vegetable glycerin, purified water, essential oil of lemon grass.Warning: If you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your health care professional before using this product. Do not use if either tamper-evident seal is broken or missing. Keep out of the reach of children.
Planetary Herbals offers the best of classic herbal traditions, from Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese herbalism to the experience of Western herbal practitioners.

Some christians believe the Earth is only 6000 to 12,000 years old. Where does this age originate from?
No, this is not a universal belief. Some do not take the days in Genesis as literal, and some treat Paradise (as described in Genesis) as being a spiritual world rather than being the same 'world' which we measure with carbon dating and other physical measures. The 6000 years is roughly discerned using clues from stories in the Bible, but there are other measures placing its age closer to 7500 years. What is generally used is the following:
It's a lot of work to do, really. Variations in measures can be explained by differing interpretations of 'day' in Genesis, whether 'in the xth year of y' means that x years preceeded it or x-1 years, and estimates of times not explicitly mentioned. |
The "young earth" figure comes from treating the descriptions of the creation of the earth in Genesis as a literal, continuous, description of earth history. It's fairly simple to do the calculation, adding up the ages of each person described, and concluding how long ago Adam and Eve happened. It was most famously done by Archbishop James Ussher. Most Christians do not believe that the earth is that age, but a substantial minority (mainly in the US) do. See Wikipedia. The discussion of the evidences for and against is far too complex to give even a summary here. |
I'm a young earth creationist.No, not all Christians maintain this belief. Christians can identify themselves with two different categories, Young Earth Creationist (YEC) or Old Earth Creationist (OEC). As a YEC believe that God is more then capable of creating everything in six days and that the earth is less than 10,000 years old. As a YEC my argument originates from the following beliefs. The flood event The Bible talks about a huge flood about ~4,500 years ago. IF you look for the evidence of this flood you'll see that there's actually a lot of evidence. Walt Brown has done some great research on this topic. He holds true to scripture and does not deny any verses. The reason that I mention this flood, is because the flood did some major devastation to this planet when it occurred. In young earth creationist POV we see that the sediment layers, massive fossil deposits and more where created because of this flood. The continental shelves and the oceans were also created because of the flood event. Chemical dating The only evidence that one has of an earth that's millions of years old is chemical dating. One thing that has recently been learned about chemical dating, is that if things are left in water then that thing's chemical dates will show the thing to be much older then it actually is. Well, if all fossilized animals that we're finding today were put there due to a large flood, then it would make sense that the chemical dating shows those fossils to be older then what they actually are. Population More evidence of young earth is given by our current population numbers. If we're the product of millions of years of evolution then we would see an obvious over population issue. But we don't see that, have you ever driven through Wyoming? We're not overpopulated. The entire human race could fit into the state of Virginia with room. If you do a backwards calculation of our current population you find a small group of people ~4k to 6k years ago. Planetary decay I use the word decay very vagly here. The moon is drifting away from our planet. One million years ago and the moon would have been touching the earth. The sun is shrinking because of the constant amount of gases being burned. One million years ago and the sun would have been so hot that no life could have existed on earth. The planet is losing is magnetic field. People chalk this up to some kind of polar shift, which has never been seen or reproduced on any magnetic, ever. We have NEVER witnessed a single star forming, know of one that has recently formed or even know how it would be possible. Scientists calculate that it would be impossible for debris to crush together to form a planet. They have no idea how this could happen. Granite is the same way, there's no way to create granite, it's impossible to have formed from molten lava. conclusion IMHO, those of weak faith believe in man and those with stronger faith believe God. To answer your question, THIS IS WHY some Christians believe in young earth. When voting on this comment do not downvote because you disagree, as this is not an arguement as to whether or not I'm right. This is merely an answer to the question "Do I maintain a belief that the earth is young, and why." I'M NOT DEBATING WHETHER OR NOT THESE ARE FACTS.Again.. I'm not stating these as facts, I'm stating them as my beliefs as a YEC. |
As mentioned elsewhere, the Young Earth belief comes from a literal reading of Genesis. Problems do arise when we try to insert the day-age theory. Assume for a moment that one day is 100 million years. The symbiotic relationships in creation would be separated by hundreds of millions of years. Additionally, if Adam was created on the sixth day, and the sixth day is 100 million years, if we trace down from his line, we would still be in the sixth day... or, if he was created on the last moment on the sixth day, we would still be early on the 7th day. Also, why would we ever read 'day' and think 'millions of years'. The only reason would be what we have heard from scientists. However, every person is biased and brings that to bear upon the conclusions they draw. Darwinism is a theory based on assumptions that cannot be proven. Several pieces of evidence for a young earth are based on the fact that things are wearing out:
The list goes on and on. So, there is a biblical reason to believe in a young earth. Science has failed to prove evolution or deal with the problems mentioned here as well as numerous others. |

SABR's 19th Century Conference a hit at Hall of Fame
The National Pastime's earliest days were a hot topic of conversation for a group of visitors to Cooperstown on Friday.
The Society for American Baseball Research's Nineteenth Century Committee is holding its fourth annual Frederick Ivor-Campbell Base Ball Conference at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's Bullpen Theater over two days, beginning today and continuing all day Saturday. For the 55 registered attendees from across the country, it's an opportunity to engage with others that share the same unique passion.
"I was here two years ago and it was the most fun I've ever had at a conference in my life, and I look forward to this year's to be even more fun," said Long Island's David Nemec, an author of more than 30 books involving baseball. "The presentations are spectacular and the people are most enjoyable to be with."
According to Peter Mancuso, the Nineteenth Century Committee Chairman who runs the conference ("actually this conference runs me," he joked), "there's wonderful people that participate in this conference at all levels. Even if they are not a presenter, they are in the audience asking some really profound questions. And of course we have the great talent of all of these researchers and writers – they really breathe life into the conference."
Included among the varied research presentations are "Bridegrooms and Superbas and Dodgers … Oh My!: The Birth of Brooklyn Baseball in the 19th Century," "The Birth of Baseball Statistics," "Abner Graves: The Man Who Brought Baseball to Cooperstown," "'The Great John L.' and the National Game," "A Comparison of Alexander Cartwright and William Wheaton" and "John B. Day, the Metropolitan Exhibition Company and the Re-establishment of Major League Baseball in New York City."
"I learn something from almost everybody I talk to," Nemec said. "They've delved into different types of research than I have. They have a different slant on certain aspects of the 19th century game. To me the 19th century game was a prism of the entire late 19th century, which was a very fluid, fast-moving time. Society and many features of the country changed very quickly, and baseball kept up with it."
Mancuso concurred, adding, "There might be a common denominator in the room and that is a love of history. If you are a baseball enthusiast and also happen to be lover of history, this is a very unique opportunity to delve into both of those worlds. I think what really makes the conference is the people who attend it. It's a real collection of very knowledgeable people on 19th century baseball.
"I always consider myself at this conference to be the batboy of the all-star game. I just kind of hand out the bats and they go up and hit the home runs."
Bill Francis is a Library Associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Bill, I sure enjoy this committee's work. Of course, having a great-uncle, Samuel Thompson HOF '74, who played in the 19th Century creates the interest for me. My college Fraternity, Phi Delta Theta is also having its Lou Gehrig Award dedication on April 23rd at the Hall. Lou was a Phi Delt when he was at Columbia. Keep sending these interesting articles. Don Thompson

Certificates and Recognition
You may be able to obtain college credit using Saylor Academy materials. Learn about our college credit pathways here.
If you would like your college to award credit for Saylor Academy coursework that is not currently aligned to defined credit pathways, we suggest that you speak with your institution's administrative offices about a number of different options. Firstly, you should talk to a professor, department head, or registrar about the potential to take an existing challenge exam (common at many schools), to earn credit and/or place out of a course for which there is a Saylor Academy equivalent that you have taken. Typically, schools that do have these exams will let students take them anywhere from no cost, to $100 per test.
Alternatively, you could ask to have a school official proctor your Saylor Academy exam attempt (thereby verifying that you are the one who passed the test, and should receive credit for it). This option may require the extra step of having your school review the Saylor course and exam, to determine whether it assesses the same topics as other college level courses on the subject.
If you have already taken and passed a Saylor Academy course, try submitting your digital transcript, available in your ePortfolio, for review by your school.
You should also look into whether your school has a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) program, by which you may be able to write a narrative/create a learning portfolio, based on what you have learned in one of our courses. Often, a student will have to take a PLA writing class from the school first (for regular tuition), but they are then usually able to bundle courses into one portfolio assessment, thereby reducing the cost per credit earned.
We would be happy to assist in any conversation you have with your school!

In the March issue of The Atlantic, Olga Khazan investigates the future of birth control, from remote-controlled implants to a pill for men. The use of contraceptives dates all the way back to 1850 B.C., when women in ancient Egypt used honey, acacia leaves, and lint to block sperm. This two-minute animation traces the history of contraception through the centuries, from sea sponges (500 B.C.), linen sheath condoms (1564), lemon cervical caps (1700), and the "rhythm method" (1920) to modern advancements such as vaginal rings, hormone injections, IUDs, and patches.

Happy New Year 2012!!!!
Hello all, been away for some time, but I am back on the grid of technology again. Life has been keeping me busy with joy and turmoil, but that's another story. I noticed a few old familiar names about.
My search for truth has been ongoing and most of my beliefs/views have not changed much over time, all of the new research/resources (tons) have only proven to add support for my conclusions. Looking forward to interacting with some old friends and maybe some new friends. (even a few others who were less friendly and agreeable) Hope I can find time to contribute some kind of worthwhile input. Looks like things have changed around here somewhat, might be a while before I can get with the program. Must remember how to use those little "smilies"!
Again, a big hello to old long lost friends who remain out there and I'm sorry for the way I had to end things suddenly way back when, regrettably it was all beyond my control. BFN

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- A former Sedgwick County deputy has pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of sexually assaulting two jail inmates.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/15c7C2r ) not guilty pleas were entered Friday on behalf of 23-year-old David Kendall, who's charged with crimes ranging from aggravated sodomy to misdemeanor sexual battery.
Kendall's lawyers contend the incident that led to the charges was staged by an inmate who had consensual sex with Kendall and claimed to have been raped. His lawyers say other alleged victims came forward with abuse stories in hopes of receiving a share of millions of dollars in compensation that might be at stake. The inmates have filed claims seeking more than $20 million.
The judge also Friday refused to lower Kendall's $500,000 bond and set an Oct. 21 trial date.

How can understanding trends help with the economic recovery?
I'm always interested in spotting trends (what influences them and what they in turn influence), so I was quite chuffed to become part of the trend spotting club, helping me share what I stumble across. If you're interested in global trends and being part of a community that discover all sorts of things, the Happy Spotting network might be is where it's at.
The Happy Spotting sign-up image
Amongst other global trend-savvy people, The Happy Spotting network from the people at trendwatching.com, let you share trends on whatever your peep holes discover. If you're interested and want to join the party, more about it and what you can gain as well as give is at the Happy Spotting site.
In joining you become part of the eyes and ears of a community that spans across 170 countries. I've only submitted one Happy Spotting trend so far, so it's early days to feedback what I've experienced so far.
The Happy Spotting network image
There's no doubt that 2012 is going to be a challenging year with a great number of events taking place and an uncertain economy that will need the best from brands and consumers. However, where there are challenges, there are opportunities. This is where creative thinking, concepts, implementation and management of ideas come into their own; making them a reality will create or disrupt environments.
It may very well be differentiators what will inspire us in making a difference and trends can be a step in helping us make this happen. But, are you ready?
You can have a look at the '12 Crucial consumer trends for 2012' on the trendwatching.com website. If Happy Spotting isn't for you, then there are plenty of other or resources or services out there. One such service is The Sense Network, based in Soho London with members across 55 countries.
Slightly different to trendwatching.com and Happy Spotting, is Sense Worldwide. Consisting of thinkers and innovators, this approach is different, but definitely worth checking out also. In terms of terms of trends and seeing keeping up to speed, obvious choices there is The Cool Hunter, Cool Hunting and Trendhunter to take a gander at (note again, this isn't an exhaustive list).
If you're socially inclined, then social networks that are increasing in popularity such as Pinterest might take your fancy (I'm Tim Gibbon on Pinterest and Rachel is pinning her way to a medal).
Trends are going to be a huge part in indentifying what may or may not work in a challenging global economy. One of the first steps is knowing where to keep abreast of the trends and maximising how they can be beneficial to a brand, if not creating them in the first place (a topic we'll no doubt come back to).
If trending isn't not for you, you can always pass the love on to us via @elementalcomms or me @timgibbon when you do see something fabulous.
