An "instant classic" adventure run of a 50+ mile loop in the remote Northern Yosemite region beginning at Twin Lakes, and including five passes, the Benson Lake riviera and a summit of Volunteer Peak. Total elevation gain was over 11,000 feet and the trip time was 15:28 starting at 5:10 am and finishing up at 8:38 pm as light was fading. Many photos here.
This is a fantastic loop with excellent variety of scenery throughout including Peeler Lake, Kerrick Meadows, the tarns of Seavey Pass, Benson Lake's sandy beach, granite-lined Smedberg Lake, Matterhorn Canyon, and the rugged Sawtooth Ridge. I also climbed Volunteer Peak which rises above Smedberg Lake. Volunteer Peak is one of the more remote summits in Yosemite, but the climb itself is straightforward. The panoramic views from the top include much of Northern Yosemite and its many granite ridges. Specifically, the summit afforded views of Mount Conness, Smedberg Lake, Benson Lake, Tower Peak, Sawtooth Ridge, Matterhon Peak, among other notable points (summit view pictures above).
We encountered generally good trail conditions except a substantial amount of snow remains on the north side of Burro Pass and on both sides of Mule Pass. The snow approaching Mule Pass was becoming hard in the evening and took some time to negotiate with the trail running footwear and no axe/crampons. We saw very few people the entire day and there is a real feeling of solitude and wilderness in this region of the park, which sharply contrasts to the more accessible parts of Yosemite like the Valley or Tuolumne Meadows. I will surely be returning to run this amazing loop again. Many more photos here.

Major Section: ACL2-TUTORIAL
See books for a discussion of books. Briefly, a book is a file whose name ends in ``.lisp'' that contains ACL2 events; see events.
See history for a list of useful commands. Some examples:
See documentation to learn how to print documentation to the terminal. There are also versions of the documentation for Mosaic, Emacs Info, and hardcopy.
:pbt :here ; print the current event :pbt (:here -3) ; print the last four events :u ; undo the last event :pe append ; print the definition of append
There are quite a few kinds of rules allowed in ACL2 besides
rewrite rules, though we hope that beginners won't usually need
to be aware of them. See rule-classes for details. In
particular, there is support for congruence rewriting.
See rune (``RUle NamE'') for a description of the various kinds
of rules in the system. Also see theories for a description of
how to build theories of runes, which are often used in hints;
see hints.
A ``programming mode'' is supported; see program,
see defun-mode, and see default-defun-mode. It can be
useful to prototype functions after executing the command
which will cause definitions to be syntaxed-checked only.
ACL2 supports mutual recursion, though this feature is not tied into the automatic discovery of induction schemas and is often not the best way to proceed when you expect to be reasoning about the functions. See defuns; also see mutual-recursion.
See ld for discussion of how to load files of events. There
are many options to
ld, including ones to suppress proofs and to
control output.
otf-flg (Onward Thru the Fog FLaG) is a useful feature that
Nqthm users have often wished for. It prevents the prover from
aborting a proof attempt and inducting on the original conjecture.
See otf-flg.
ACL2 supports redefinition and redundancy in events; see ld-redefinition-action and see redundant-events.
A proof-tree display feature is available for use with Emacs. This feature provides a view of ACL2 proofs that can be much more useful than reading the stream of characters output by the theorem prover as its ``proof.'' See proof-tree.
An interactive feature similar to Pc-Nqthm is supported in ACL2. See verify and see proof-checker.
ACL2 allows you to monitor the use of rewrite rules. See break-rewrite.
See arrays to read about applicative, fast arrays in ACL2.
To quit the ACL2 command loop, or (in akcl) to return to the ACL2
command loop after an interrupt, type
q. To continue (resume)
after an interrupt (in akcl), type
:r. To cause an interrupt (in
akcl under Unix (trademark of AT&T)), hit control-C (twice, if
inside Emacs). To exit ACL2 altogether, first type
q to exit
the ACL2 command loop, and then exit Lisp (by typing
(user::bye) in akcl).
See state to read about the von Neumannesque ACL2 state object that records the ``current state'' of the ACL2 session. Also see @, and see assign, to learn about reading and setting global state variables.
If you want your own von Neumannesque object, e.g., a structure that
can be ``destructively modified'' but which must be used with some
syntactic restrictions, see stobj.

"One of the problems for historians of most arts is the 'transitional figure.'"
– Dennis Bingham, "Shot From the Sky: The Gypsy Moths and the End of Something," collected in A Little Solitaire: John Frankenheimer and American Film
"[H]e spent the rest of his life trying to figure out what had gone wrong."
– Bill Krohn, "Jonah," collected in A Little Solitaire: John Frankenheimer and American Film
Brian Kellow's new biography of Pauline Kael, one of my lifelong inspirations as a writer, has so many flaws that it would take a second book to enumerate them. Since Kael falls outside the purview of this blog – regrettably, "television" was something of a dirty word to her, a shorthand for commercial aspirations and diminished attention spans; although Kael may have had some enthusiasm for the made-for-television movies of the seventies, this is one of several points on which Kellow contradicts himself – I don't have to do any enumerating. But I will point out one comparatively minor flaw in Kellow's book that got under my skin: Kellow indulges in a few snotty asides against "academia," a phrase he uses so generically that it's hard to tell exactly who he's trying to insult, or why. Like Bill Maher or Keith Olbermann, Kellow comes off as so obnoxious that we want to argue back, even when we agree with him. (The royal "we" is used in honor of La Pauline, although it's one of her devices that makes me uneasy; I'm afraid to emulate it, although Kael often deploys it with great power.) I've staked out my own position as essentially anti-academic, but even I have to acknowledge that it's absurd to suggest that no one on a tenure track is doing valuable writing or research on art and culture. The question is whether those scholars who are creating good work represent the rule or the exception.
Which brings us to the first item in today's book report: a recent collection of scholarly essays that examine the work of the director John Frankenheimer. I picked up the book, which was compiled and edited by Murray Pomerance and R. Barton Palmer, in part because I discovered that its contributors cite my own work a few times (yes, it is possible to accidentally search your own name on Google Books; really, I swear that's how it happened), and also because I remain obsessed with every outpost of Frankenheimeriana. As far as I can recall, I've only returned to the subject of Frankenheimer's early television productions once since I wrote that Senses of Cinema essay, but I know I'll go back again someday. As Frankenheimer's work was in its time the most pyrotechnic, the most resistant to the technological limitations of early television, so it stands out today as the most durable, the most modern, the most cinematic, the most alive.
The title of Pomerance and Palmer's collection is a famous refrain from The Manchurian Candidate, and an odd choice, since (unless I dozed off for a minute) none of the writers in the book quote it. I would have liked to know why the editors felt that line had an overarching meaning within Frankenheimer's oeuvre – a meaning even more potent than the trope of paranoia, a word that's used in nearly every essay in the book. The title characterizes Frankenheimer as a maverick, a loner. But while the director may have thought of himself that way, one of the tragedies of the his career is that he was unable to function as a true independent. Not only did Frankenheimer's vision require budgets of some size, but in interviews he made it clear that he was invested in the idea of a commercial cinema, of box office victory and mainstream recognition.
Within that context, the book's key essay may be Jerry Mosher's well-researched account of the making of Frankenheimer's Impossible Object (1973), a film that self-consciously attempted a non-linear, ambiguous narrative in the style of Resnais or, in particular, Losey. Mosher carefully places the ideas behind Impossible Object (incidentally, the only theatrical Frankenheimer feature I have not seen), and its catastrophic post-production phase and consequent non-release, within the context of the personal and professional lives of the director and his collaborators (chiefly Nicholas Mosley, the original writer and later a memoirist who wrote insightfully about Frankenheimer). Impossible Object became a self-fulfilling prophecy (or Prophecy, as it turned out): Frankenheimer took the film's failure as an affirmation that art cinema was not a viable path for him, and probably as an excuse to embrace a belief system to which he was he already bound.
Other writers who delve in detail into the production histories of individual films include Matthew R. Bernstein, who describes some of the fascinating real-life figures and incidents upon which The Train was based, and James Morrison, whose essay on The Iceman Cometh is a model diagram of how a film's meaning emerges from its maker's technical choices. Charles Ramírez Berg's astute formal analysis of The Manchurian Candidate properly contextualizes the film's imagery as an outgrowth of Frankenheimer's live television technique. Berg includes a detailed consideration of "The Comedian" (a terrific Rod Serling-scripted Playhouse 90) as an exemplar of the director's televisual style. And I was pleased to see my two favorite underdogs in the Frankenheimer filmography, The Gypsy Moths and I Walk the Line, become the subjects of thoughtful consideration, in pieces by Dennis Bingham and Linda Ruth Williams, respectively.
A Little Solitaire also offers ample coverage of Frankenheimer's perhaps overstated "comeback" in cable television during the nineties. Most of these pieces are problematic, but Bill Krohn's ambitious "Jonah," fittingly the final chapter in the book, uses the late television productions and some of Frankenheimer's worst theatrical features (as well as "Forbidden Area," the premiere segment of Playhouse 90, which has only recently resurfaced in private collections), to stitch together the intriguing argument that, following the assassination of his friend Robert F. Kennedy, Frankenheimer became something of a covert, disillusioned radical/nihilist, who consistently charted "the decline and fall of American liberalism." I wasn't entirely persuaded (for one thing, "Jonah" offers without irony the phrase "a superb, understated performance by Ben Affleck"), but Krohn is the liveliest writer in this book, which counts for a lot.
"Coffee has yet another meaning. As Wolfgang Schivelbusch points out, while there is a connection between daze (the condition produced by the consumption of alcohol) and mystification, and more generally between the use of liquors and group feeling, the coffeehouse has throughout its history been dedicated to the support and preservation of the individual identity: 'In coffeehouses the I is central.'"
– Murray Pomerance, "Ashes, Ashes: Structuring Emptiness in All Fall Down," collected in A Little Solitaire: John Frankenheimer and American Film
About half of the essays in A Little Solitaire didn't sell me on their theses; or, to be less charitable, they read as pointless exercises in publish-or-perish log-rolling. That may be a better-than-average success rate for this type of collection. It's disappointing to see not even a single essay focused solely on Frankenheimer's early television work (although the book's invaluable appendix compiles a more complete Frankenheimer videography than I've seen before); but it's also unsurprising, given that one would have to be a collector, or else log considerable archival hours in Los Angeles or New York, in order to see a large amount of that material.
What I find less easy to excuse is the narrowness of the methodologies on display in this collection. Only a few of the authors (Bernstein; Pomerance, writing about All Fall Down; and Morrison, who dredged up cinematographer Ralph Woolsey's memories of filming The Iceman Cometh in an obscure AFI seminar) attempted any archival research, even though Frankenheimer's tempting and extensive papers are available at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. And the only original oral history in evidence is in Pomerance's introductory essay, which includes a few superficial quotes from the actress Evans Evans (the director's widow), and Richard Dysart, who appeared in a single Frankenheimer film (Prophecy, perhaps his worst). I don't understand why these approaches, which would yield more concrete insights and discoveries than the kind of tautological interdisciplinary lint-picking that is evident even in some of the better essays in this book (does Birdman of Alcatraz really benefit from being "read" "through" Foucault?), are undertaken so infrequently. Are they just out of fashion in academia? Is picking up the phone or getting on a plane somehow behaviorally (or, in the second case, financially) beyond the pale for a college professor? Or would the weight of actual history be too much of a reality check on a writer who prefers instead to mash an artist's work into the mold of his or her own professional specialty, whether or not it fits?
"Didn't enjoy working with Tony Franciosa, who kept abusing the stunt men. He purposely wasn't pulling his punches in fight scenes, and he kept doing it despite my warnings to stop . . . so I had to pop him one."
– James Garner, The Garner Files
The succinct sketch of John Frankenheimer that James Garner offers in his long-awaited memoir, The Garner Files, is probably as valuable an observation as any offered in A Little Solitaire. Garner, who starred in Frankenheimer's Grand Prix, thought the director was something of a humorless control freak, who "didn't want anyone with an opinion" in the cast. But Garner admired Frankenheimer's encyclopedic attention to detail and his ability to command a production as huge and potentially dangerous as Grand Prix.
A number of my friends, of both the real and Facebook varieties, have been praising and quoting from The Garner Files. I assume that's because Garner is one of the few living stars from whom many of us would really want to hear at some length, and also (more importantly) because Garner does not shy away from, and indeed even seems to relish, naming and shaming anyone who ever pissed him off. It's a long and entertaining list, one that includes Charles Bronson ("a pain in the ass"), Glen A. Larson (a "thief"), and Lee Marvin (another "pain in the ass"), among others.
In The Garner Files, Garner comes across as a straight shooter, smarter and more introspective than the most of characters he played. He is, for instance, quite conscious of how the laid-back, "natural" quality that was his trademark was in fact carefully constructed. (Garner's theory is that his studied casualness emerged out of a process of getting past his stage fright.) The book ends with a section of testimonials from Garner's family and friends, which include major movie stars as well as racing pals and "below the line" crew members. That kind of victory roll would constitute an exhibition of appalling arrogance in almost anyone else's memoirs, but Garner has allowed his friends to tell stories on him. Some of them are flattering, but others hint at Garner's fallibility and his legendary temper. (The words of Rockford Files co-star Joe Santos, in their entirety: "Garner says he's easygoing, but he's lying. He's angry and desperate, just like I am. That's why Rockford has always worked so well, because Jim is coming from a very passionate, driven place.")
Garner is so resolutely forthright that his book is worth reading, but it's hardly one of the great or even very good autobiographies. Garner acknowledges his collaborator, Jon Winokur, with typical generosity, but that doesn't prevent the book from coming to a dead stop whenever Winokur takes over to fill in the basic facts about Garner's movies and television projects. The sections on the star's two major TV series, Maverick and The Rockford Files, feel especially ghost-written, and add little or nothing to the stories told in Ed Robertson's books on those shows. Garner comes to life a bit more when discussing his favorite films (The Great Escape, The Americanization of Emily, Grand Prix), but I sense that his real passions are for boring shit like golf, auto racing, making money, and (to use his oft-repeated term) "decking" people.
Garner presents himself as a defender of the little guy, and I don't doubt the truth of that. But he also seems to have enjoyed maneuvering himself into situations in which he could punch out people and – because the punchee was behaving badly in some way – still hold onto his image as a good guy. One such person, a golf course heckler, turned out to be a Rockford fan with alcohol and drug problems, who cried after Garner knocked him down. (Again, full credit to Garner for leaving those details in, even if they are presented with a not-my-fault shrug.)
Garner's particular ethics of violence may make him less of a bully than some of the bullies he criticizes (including Frankenheimer), but he strikes me as a bully nonetheless, a hothead who cultivated his temper and unloaded on people whenever he knew he could get away with it. Is a wealthy, powerful, and well-liked movie star ever likely to find himself in situations where he has to hit someone? Was socking Tony Franciosa really an act of standing up for defenseless stuntmen (note the oxymoronic aspect of that phrase) – many of whom probably later found themselves on sets where Franciosa had the power to fire them and Garner wasn't around to intercede – or was it just an ostentatious display of machismo? I still love the television James Garner, the pragmatic, risk-averse "reluctant hero" (Garner's own term) who made Maverick and Rockford so distinctive and down-to-earth and compulsively watchable. But after reading his book, I wonder whether I would like the real James Garner.

"Like Bill Maher or Keith Olbermann, Kellow comes off as so obnoxious that you want to argue back, even when you agree with him."
Thank you for saying this — though, given the opportunity, I might have used stronger verbiage.
I thank you for bringing "A Little Solitaire" to my attention; I'm going to go out and pick it up this afternoon.

Your review of James Garner is one of a person who has never been outside of NY or LA or Chicago. He was a good guy.

You might know that erotic massage is the real key to happiness and should you would like to get away from all of the stress of life, then there isn't anything better than happy ending massage. Happy ending massages are great because you get to relish erotic pleasures together with quality relaxation. Some people believe that happy ending massage is just for men, but that's not the reality in any way. Happy ending massage enhances the blood blow within your body and enables you heart a great deal.
You must be conscious of what things to expect since with some massage parlor, you might ask to acquire something extra and you could be thrown into the street. Before going to the parlor, it's good if you recognize how much you must pay for it. The massage parlor can be complicated and you need to be careful of how to understand if you'll acquire happy ending or not. The simpler way to get to be familiar with massage parlor with happy ending is to look at the rear page ads from the neighborhood entertainment paper. If you need a rub and tug Sydney massage parlours can manage that too.
Experiment with different positions to find out when you can more easily delay ejaculation in a number of them. Pumping the PC muscle is just one of the easiest, simplest and quickest ways to learn how to move power and delay ejaculation. LEARNING THROUGH MASTURBATION Masturbation is a superb approach to develop into skilled at lasting a very long moment. When you get oral sex it's possible to find gonorrhea and Chlamydia, but should you use a condom properly then you need to be safeguarded.
Girls are extremely competitive!' Some women think that men aren't pleased with the lovemaking till they come. First, they should begin on a little level. Where you're able to fulfill foreign ladies.
A small amount of rubbing and a small bit of tugging makes men contented. Allowing a guy to lead isn't always effortless. Many men discover that if they can forego the should keep everything in check, including lovemaking, their ejaculation response gets far more manageable.

Touch is always another great indicator. Whatever the case, stepping down was probably the ideal call. A few want to offer strictly massage solutions, but without being licensed. There's no agency that could inform you directly that they're doing something incriminating.

Innovating in a Recession
The more times change, the more times demand — and reward — thoughtful innovation. Here are some thoughts on three innovative new steps we're taking to better position the College for the future.
Defining our identity in new ways
On Nov. 29, we announced the creation of the new Grinnell College Young Innovator for Social Justice Prize. Following that announcement, some people have asked me why the College is undertaking an expensive new initiative now, in such challenging financial times. That's a legitimate question. It's true that we're facing tight times — all colleges are. Although Grinnell is in good shape overall, we have to adapt to a new financial world. The worst thing we could do, not being in real crisis, is to hunker down and stop doing new things. We have to reallocate resources in all sorts of new ways to do a better job of meeting the College's mission in the future. The Grinnell College Young Innovator for Social Justice Prize is part of a broad plan to define the identity of this college based on its unique features. One of the strongest and most indelible of those is that Grinnell prepares students to change the world for the better. A focus on social justice in one's life can mean anything from becoming a really aware and engaged citizen, to bringing a strong sense of ethics and community and accountability to running a business, to running a large social movement. We want to tell the world about that aspect of the College's identity so we can continue to attract the kinds of people to the College who can best take advantage of that part of our mission and help move it forward. We decided we'd rather offer a prize that advances useful work and contributes more to the mission of the College than do other equally expensive things to build our prestige. There are large educational and social benefits of the prize: We'll involve students in defining the concept and running the annual symposia, and give them, at a young age, a great deal of one-on-one exposure to outstanding people who are doing creative things to promote social justice. We can bring prospective students to the prize symposia to show them what the school stands for. We envision creating relationships with organizations that prizewinners are involved in, which could result in internships and other student learning experiences. We're thinking about an online journal that focuses on young innovators. These kinds of synergies pull together three themes at the core of Grinnell's mission: education, positive social change, and youth. That makes the prize a creative way to achieve many of the College's goals even in a time of tight money — and to strengthen our future. Also, it's in our best interests to be a good community member, and this is one of our contributions to the global community. We can never guarantee outcomes — from this effort or any other effort — but we can make thoughtful decisions, we can take reasonable risks in exploring new avenues, and perhaps most importantly, we can continue to learn as a community what makes us distinctive and how we can further our mission.
Understanding the College's financial dynamics
One of the things we need to do differently and better is to explain our need for resources given our endowment. We need to tell people how much money is coming in, how much is going out, and why we use our resources the way we do — because without broader support from our community and our alumni, we're not going to be able to help future students in the way that we've helped our alumni. We don't want to — and we won't — decrease our support for our students, but there's a price for that, and we're going to have to work harder to get resources for it. We have many students who have real need. And we have real need to offer merit aid as well, so that we have a balanced student body. Plus, in tough economic times, even students who originally came here with significant resources have seen those resources diminish — sometimes dramatically. Also, our alumni and other donors have been more careful recently about long-term donations. So, we need to put together a thoughtful, long-term plan to advance our core mission that is sustainable for the long haul.
Engaging our alumni in the ways they want to engage
We need to engage creatively with our alumni's great passion for the College — even with those who are not in a financial position to give money at this particular point in their lives. Many of our alums go to grad school or into social services, education, or other fields that don't generate large incomes early on. I want to offer all alumni a menu of options that allows us to recognize them and at the same time makes it easier for them to contribute not only dollars, which we want and need, but also time and talent. Many institutions' rolls of giving list donors according to levels defined entirely by dollars, and I don't think that's fair. In some cases a commitment of time or other resources can be at least as valuable. We'll share that menu of options with alumni soon — we hope in the spring of 2011. Meanwhile, I encourage you all to join me in thinking of innovative ways for Grinnell to continue to be the best it can be at achieving its unique mission.

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
We describe the procedure very roughly here.
Fundamental to the procedure is the notion of a linear polynomial
inequality. A ``linear polynomial'' is a sum of terms, each of
which is the product of a rational constant and an ``unknown.'' The
``unknown'' is permitted to be
1 simply to allow a term in the sum
to be constant. Thus, an example linear polynomial is
3*x + 7*a + 2; here
x and
a are the (interesting) unknowns.
However, the unknowns need not be variable symbols. For
(length x) might be used as an unknown in a linear
polynomial. Thus, another linear polynomial is
3*(length x) + 7*a.
A ``linear polynomial inequality'' is an inequality
< or
relation between two linear polynomials. Note that an equality may
be considered as a pair of inequalities; e.q.,
3*x + 7*a + 2 = 0
is the same as the conjunction of
3*x + 7*a + 2 <= 0 and
0 <= 3*x + 7*a + 2.
Certain linear polynomial inequalities can be combined by cross-multiplication and addition to permit the deduction of a third inequality with fewer unknowns. If this deduced inequality is manifestly false, a contradiction has been deduced from the assumed inequalities.
For example, suppose we have two assumptions
p1: 3*x + 7*a < 4 p2: 3 < 2*xand we wish to prove that, given
p1 and
a < 0. As
suggested above, we proceed by assuming the negation of our goal
p3: 0 <= a.and looking for a contradiction.
By cross-multiplying and adding the first two inequalities, (that is,
p1 by
p2 by
3 and adding the respective
sides), we deduce the intermediate result
p4: 6*x + 14*a + 9 < 8 + 6*xwhich, after cancellation, is:
p4: 14*a + 1 < 0.If we then cross-multiply and add
p3 to
p4, we get
p5: 1 <= 0,a contradiction. Thus, we have proved that
p1 and
p2 imply the
negation of
All of the unknowns of an inequality must be eliminated by
cancellation in order to produce a constant inequality. We can
choose to eliminate the unknowns in any order, but we eliminate them in
term-order, largest unknowns first. (See term-order.) That is, two
polys are cancelled against each other only when they have the same
largest unknown. For instance, in the above example we see that
is the largest unknown in each of
p1 and
p2, and
a in
p3 and
Now suppose that this procedure does not produce a contradiction but
instead yields a set of nontrivial inequalities. A contradiction
might still be deduced if we could add to the set some additional
inequalities allowing further cancellations. That is where
:linear lemmas come in. When the set of inequalities has stabilized
under cross-multiplication and addition and no contradiction is
produced, we search the data base of
linear rules for rules about
the unknowns that are candidates for cancellation (i.e., are the
largest unknowns in their respective inequalities). See linear
for a description of how
linear rules are used.
See also
non-linear-arithmetic for a description of an extension
to the linear-arithmetic procedure described here.

The new Telerik app platform spans web, hybrid, and native development as a modular offering composed of UI tools and cloud services.
CEO of Telerik Vassil Terziev says that the days of trying to deliver mobile app strategies in isolation with "silver bullet" frameworks are over and that Telerik supports a modern adaptive development strategy.
"Unlike competing offerings, it allows developers to integrate a single module into their existing infrastructure and adopt the complete platform as their needs grow," he said.
So Telerik offers web, hybrid, and native on any OS: iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Windows, and Blackberry. This extends to any device; i.e., desktops, tablets, smartphones, and on what the company calls any technology: .NET, JavaScript/HTML5, Java JSP, and PHP.
"The Telerik Platform provides a single, unified interface to facilitate streamlined development, deployment, management, and maintenance of cross-platform applications, regardless of the approach taken. It is standalone but also built to integrate with third-party products, so developers can continue to use their existing tools and services, while making it easy to integrate into any development workflow," said Terziev.
A set cloud services is integrated with the entire suite of the Telerik Platform to optimize design, delivery, management, and real-time analysis of apps across all screens.
There are services here for development (including IDE, UI libraries, and APIs), debugging, automated testing, deployment, management, measurement, and collaboration.

When a proof fails during a forcing round it means that the ``gist'' of the proof succeeded but some ``technical detail'' failed. The first question you must ask yourself is whether the forced goals are indeed theorems. We discuss the possibilities below.
If you believe the forced goals are theorems, you should follow the usual methodology for ``fixing'' failed ACL2 proofs, e.g., the identification of key lemmas and their timely and proper use as rules. See failure and see proof-tree.
The rules designed for the goals of forcing rounds are often just what is needed to prove the forced hypothesis at the time it is forced. Thus, you may find that when the system has been ``taught'' how to prove the goals of the forcing round no forcing round is needed. This is intended as a feature to help structure the discovery of the necessary rules.
If a hint must be provided to prove a goal in a forcing round, the
appropriate ``goal specifier'' (the string used to identify the goal
to which the hint is to be applied) is just the text printed on the
line above the formula, e.g.,
"[1]Subgoal *1/3''".
See goal-spec.
If you solve a forcing problem by giving explicit hints for the goals of forcing rounds, you might consider whether you could avoid forcing the assumption in the first place by giving those hints in the appropriate places of the main proof. This is one reason that we print out the origins of each forced assumption. An argument against this style, however, is that an assumption might be forced in hundreds of places in the main goal and proved only once in the forcing round, so that by delaying the proof you actually save time.
We now turn to the possibility that some goal in the forcing round is not a theorem.
There are two possibilities to consider. The first is that the original theorem has insufficient hypotheses to ensure that all the forced hypotheses are in fact always true. The ``fix'' in this case is to amend the original conjecture so that it has adequate hypotheses.
A more difficult situation can arise and that is when the conjecture has sufficient hypotheses but they are not present in the forcing round goal. This can be caused by what we call ``premature'' forcing.
Because ACL2 rewrites from the inside out, it is possible that it
will force hypotheses while the context is insufficient to establish
them. Consider trying to prove
(p x (foo x)). We first rewrite the
formula in an empty context, i.e., assuming nothing. Thus, we
(foo x) in an empty context. If rewriting
(foo x) forces
anything, that forced assumption will have to be proved in an empty
context. This will likely be impossible.
On the other hand, suppose we did not attack
(foo x) until after we
had expanded
p. We might find that the value of its second
(foo x), is relevant only in some cases and in those cases
we might be able to establish the hypotheses forced by
(foo x). Our
premature forcing is thus seen to be a consequence of our ``over
eager'' rewriting.
Here, just for concreteness, is an example you can try. In this
(foo x) rewrites to
x but has a forced hypothesis of
(rationalp x).
P does a case split on that very hypothesis
and uses its second argument only when
x is known to be rational.
Thus, the hypothesis for the
(foo x) rewrite is satisfied. On
the false branch of its case split,
p simplies to
(p1 x) which
can be proved under the assumption that
x is not rational.
(defun p1 (x) (not (rationalp x))) (defun p (x y)(if (rationalp x) (equal x y) (p1 x))) (defun foo (x) x) (defthm foo-rewrite (implies (force (rationalp x)) (equal (foo x) x))) (in-theory (disable foo))The attempt then to do
(thm (p x (foo x))) forces the unprovable
(rationalp x).
Since all ``formulas'' are presented to the theorem prover as single
terms with no hypotheses (e.g., since
implies is a function), this
problem would occur routinely were it not for the fact that the
theorem prover expands certain ``simple'' definitions immediately
without doing anything that can cause a hypothesis to be forced.
See simple. This does not solve the problem, since it is
possible to hide the propositional structure arbitrarily deeply.
For example, one could define
p, above, recursively so that the test
x is rational and the subsequent first ``real'' use of
occurred arbitrarily deeply.
Therefore, the problem remains: what do you do if an impossible goal is forced and yet you know that the original conjecture was adequately protected by hypotheses?
One alternative is to disable forcing entirely. See disable-forcing. Another is to disable the rule that caused the force.
A third alternative is to prove that the negation of the main goal implies the forced hypothesis. For example,
(defthm not-p-implies-rationalp (implies (not (p x (foo x))) (rationalp x)) :rule-classes nil)Observe that we make no rules from this formula. Instead, we merely
:use it in the subgoal where we must establish
(rationalp x).
(thm (p x (foo x)) :hints (("Goal" :use not-p-implies-rationalp)))When we said, above, that
(p x (foo x)) is first rewritten in an
empty context we were misrepresenting the situation slightly. When
we rewrite a literal we know what literal we are rewriting and we
implicitly assume it false. This assumption is ``dangerous'' in
that it can lead us to simplify our goal to
nil and give up -- we
have even seen people make the mistake of assuming the negation of
what they wished to prove and then via a very complicated series of
transformations convince themselves that the formula is false.
Because of this ``tail biting'' we make very weak use of the
negation of our goal. But the use we make of it is sufficient to
establish the forced hypothesis above.
A fourth alternative is to weaken your desired theorem so as to make explicit the required hypotheses, e.g., to prove
(defthm rationalp-implies-main (implies (rationalp x) (p x (foo x))) :rule-classes nil)This of course is unsatisfying because it is not what you originally intended. But all is not lost. You can now prove your main theorem from this one, letting the
implies here provide the
necessary case split.
(thm (p x (foo x)) :hints (("Goal" :use rationalp-implies-main)))

counters stobj
Major Section: STOBJ
Consider again the event
(defstobj counters (NodeCnt :type integer :initially 0) (TipCnt :type integer :initially 0) (IntTipsSeen :type t :initially nil))discussed in stobj-example-1, followed by the definition
(defun reset-counters (counters) (declare (xargs :stobjs (counters))) (seq counters (update-NodeCnt 0 counters) (update-TipCnt 0 counters) (update-IntTipsSeen nil counters)))which, because of the
seq macro in stobj-example-1, is just
syntactic sugar for
(defun reset-counters (counters) (declare (xargs :stobjs (counters))) (let ((counters (update-NodeCnt 0 counters))) (let ((counters (update-TipCnt 0 counters))) (update-IntTipsSeen nil counters)))).
Here is a simple theorem about
(defthm reset-counters-is-constant (implies (countersp x) (equal (reset-counters x) '(0 0 nil))))
Before we talk about how to prove this theorem, note that the theorem is unusual in two respects.
First, it calls
reset-counters on an argument other than the
counters! That is allowed in theorems; logically
speaking, the stobj functions are indistinguishable from ordinary
functions. Their use is syntactically restricted only in
defuns, which might be compiled and run in raw Lisp. Those
restrictions allow us to implement stobj modification destructively.
But logically speaking,
reset-counters and other stobj
``modifying'' functions just create new objects, constructively.
Second, the theorem above explicitly provides the hypothesis that
reset-counters is being applied to an object satisfying
countersp. Such a hypothesis is not always required:
reset-counters is total and will do something no matter what
x is. But in this particular case, the result is not
'(0 0 nil)
x is, at least, a true-list of length three.
To make a long story short, to prove theorems about stobj functions you behave in exactly the way you would to prove the same theorems about the same functions defined without the stobj features.
How can we prove the above theorem? Unfolding the definition of
reset-counters shows that
(reset-counters x) is equal to
(update-IntTipsSeen nil (update-TipCnt 0 (update-NodeCnt 0 x)))which in turn is
(update-nth 2 nil (update-nth 1 0 (update-nth 0 0 x))).Opening up the definition of
update-nth reduces this to
(list* 0 0 nil (cdddr x)).This is clearly equal to
'(0 0 nil), provided we know that
(cdddr x)
Unfortunately, that last fact requires a lemma. The most specific lemma we could provide is
(defthm special-lemma-for-counters (implies (countersp x) (equal (cdddr x) nil)))but if you try to prove that lemma you will find that it requires some reasoning about
len and
true-listp. Furthermore, the special
lemma above is of interest only for
The following lemma about
len is the one we prefer.
(defthm equal-len-n (implies (syntaxp (quotep n)) (equal (equal (len x) n) (if (integerp n) (if (< n 0) nil (if (equal n 0) (atom x) (and (consp x) (equal (len (cdr x)) (- n 1))))) nil))))This lemma will simplify any equality in which a
len expression
is equated to any explicitly given constant n, e.g.,
3, reducing the equation to a conjunction of
consp terms
about the first n
If the above lemma is available then ACL2 immediately proves
(defthm reset-counters-is-constant (implies (countersp x) (equal (reset-counters x) '(0 0 nil))))
The point is presumably well made: proving theorems about single-threaded object accessors and updaters is no different than proving theorems about other recursively defined functions on lists.
As we have seen, operations on stobjs turn into definitions
nth and
update-nth in the logic. Here are two lemmas
that are useful for simplifying terms involving
nth and
which are therefore useful in reasoning about single-threaded objects.
(defthm update-nth-update-nth-same (implies (equal (nfix i1) (nfix i2)) (equal (update-nth i1 v1 (update-nth i2 v2 l)) (update-nth i1 v1 l))))These lemmas are due to Matt Wilding. See nu-rewriter for a discussion of the efficient simplification of terms of the form
(defthm update-nth-update-nth-diff (implies (not (equal (nfix i1) (nfix i2))) (equal (update-nth i1 v1 (update-nth i2 v2 l)) (update-nth i2 v2 (update-nth i1 v1 l)))) :rule-classes ((:rewrite :loop-stopper ((i1 i2)))))
(nth n (update-nth key val lst)), which can be critical in
settings involving sequential bindings that commonly arise in
operations involving stobjs.
We now recommend that you see stobj-example-2.

Ofeibea Quist-Arcton
Ofeibea Quist-Arcton is a journalist and broadcaster from Ghana who reports for NPR News on issues and developments related to West Africa. She spent her early years in Ghana, Italy, Britain and Kenya.
Quist-Arcton has lived and worked in the U.K., France, Ivory Coast, U.S., South Africa and most recently Senegal, traveling all over Africa as a journalist, broadcaster, commentator and host.
After completing high school in Britain, she took a degree in French studies with international relations and Spanish at the London School of Economics (LSE) and went on to study radio journalism at the Polytechnic of Central London, with two internships at the BBC.
Quist-Arcton joined the BBC in 1985, working at a number of regional radio stations all over Britain, moving two years later to the renowned BBC World Service at Bush House in London, as a producer and host in the African Service. She traveled and reported throughout Africa.
She spent the year leading up to 1990 in Paris, on a BBC journalist exchange with Radio France International (RFI), working in "Monito" — a service supplying reports and interviews about Africa to African radio stations, and with RFI's English (for Africa) Service as a host, reporter and editor.
Later in 1990, Quist-Arcton won one of the BBC's coveted foreign correspondents posts, moving to Abidjan, Ivory Coast, to head the corporation's West Africa bureau. From there, she covered 24 countries, straddling the Sahara to the heart of the continent — crisscrossing the continent from Mauritania, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Mali, to Zaire and Congo-Brazzaville, via Chad, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. She contributed to all BBC radio and television outlets, covering the flowering of democracy in the region, as well as the outbreak of civil wars, revolutions and coups, while always keeping an eye on the "other" stories about Africa that receive minimal media attention — including the continent's rich cultural heritage. Quist-Arcton also contributed to NPR programs during her reporting assignment in West and Central Africa.
After four years as BBC West Africa correspondent, she returned to Bush House in 1994, as a host and senior producer on the BBC World Service flagship programs, Newshour & Newsday (now The World Today), and as a contributing Africa specialist for other radio and TV output.
Quist-Arcton laced up her traveling shoes again in 1995 and relocated to Boston as a roving reporter for The World, a co-production between the BBC, Public Radio International (PRI) and WGBH. She lived in Cambridge and enjoyed getting to know Massachusetts and the rest of New England, learning a new language during winter, most of it related to snow!
For The World, she traveled around the United States, providing the program with an African journalist's perspective on North American life. She also spent six months as a roving Africa reporter, covering — among other events — the fall of President Mobutu Sese Seko in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1997.
In 1998, after another stint back at BBC World Service, Quist-Arcton was appointed co-host of the South African Broadcasting Corporation's flagship radio drive-time show, PM Live, based in Johannesburg.
In 2000, she left the BBC to join allAfrica.com (allAfricaGlobal Media) as Africa correspondent, covering the continent's top stories, in all domains, and developing new radio shows for webcast and syndication to radio stations around the continent.
After six years in South Africa, Quist-Arcton joined NPR in November 2004 at the newly-created post of West Africa Correspondent, moving back to her home region, with a new base in Senegal.
Her passions are African art and culture, music, literature, open-air markets, antiques - and learning. She loves to travel and enjoys cycling and photography.

Sure beats the End of the World posts after losing to Miami last week.
We have now beaten the Bears 3 out of the last 4 games in Chicago. Impressive to say the least.
The officiating today was horrific. That overturned call on the Edwards TD was the biggest pile of BS I've seen in a long time. The game sure had that feeling that the refs didn't want Seattle to win. Glad we have the Magic Man RW on our side. If you can't tell by now that he has that precious, rare, "IT" factor, you haven't been around a television this season.
I had a good feeling we would win today just as I had a bad feeling we would lose to Miami last Sunday. This team has so much potential, but still blows it by playing down to lesser opponents. Today, although far from a perfect game, you could plainly see the effort that was so sorely lacking last Sunday was evident today. The team was flying around and the effort was obvious. We still need a pass rush desparetely.
Thought I'd share this quote from RW at the post game presser. God I love this kid.
"I went to the huddle and just told the guys, this is what the season comes down to. Right here. Right now. We've got 97 yards to go. We've got to play one play at a time, stay in the now and just make the plays when we need them."

Next month I will celebrate my 7th anniversary with TSA and the one constant over these past years has been the added elements of responsibility. What started as concentration on aviation security after the attacks of 9/11 has evolved into a web of security tools and partnerships that span all modes of transportation, local and state governments and stakeholders near and far.
While this may be seen as a "puppy post" by some, I thought it would be helpful and informative to let you all know that we are about more than just the TSOs and the FAMS you always hear about.
For instance, we get lots of questions about why this or why that in a foreign country. The fact is, TSA is responsible for implementing and enforcing security standards in domestic airports, that's about 450 airports in our country. We work with our foreign partners to harmonize measures. For instance, approximately 80 countries are on the same regime for liquids. Flights from foreign countries to the United States must adhere to our security standards. TSA has security representatives in 19 countries around the globe. These individuals are responsible for working with local governments and carriers, US and foreign, that fly to, from or over the US to ensure they're complying with regulations.
The agency is working aggressively with our U.S. Coast Guard colleagues to complete the enrollment of all USCG-credentialed mariners and all personnel requiring unescorted access to secure areas of Maritime Transportation Security Act regulated vessels and facilities into the Transportation Worker Identification Card program. With an estimated 1.2 million people to enroll, TSA has already signed up more than 700,000 mariners and is well on the well to meet the nationwide compliance date of April 15.
The original compliance date of September 15 was extended to April 15 as a direct result of collaboration with port officials and industry, and realigns the enrollment period with the original intent of the TWIC final rule. The original compliance date was based on an 18 month enrollment period scheduled to begin March of 2007. The beginning of enrollment was suspended and the first port (Wilmington, DE) began enrolling workers in October 2007. This allowed for less than one year to enroll more than 1.2 million workers.
While nationwide enforcement is being realigned to April 2009, several ports have already complied and several more will become compliant in the coming months.
In Transportation Sector Network Management or TSNM, we lead the unified national effort to protect and secure a wide range of our nation's transportation systems. TSNM covers highway and motor carriers, maritime, mass transit, pipelines, freight rail and general aviation.
As our Web site states, "every day, the transportation network connects cities, manufacturers, and retailers, moving large volumes of goods and individuals through a complex network of approximately 4 million miles of roads and highways, more than 100,000 miles of rail, 600,000 bridges, more than 300 tunnels and numerous sea ports, 2 million miles of pipeline, 500,000 train stations, and 500 public-use airports."
How do we help? Well, essentially through grants and other supporting programs. Unlike aviation security, TSA is not charged with providing the physical security itself but with coordinating and regulating it. So we work with our industry partners and develop tools and exercises that help each "Sector" become more secure and therefore more safe.
For instance, recently TSA worked with local authorities by funding an exercise with a goal of being able to safely and predictably stop a transit bus remotely. Why would we want to stop a bus? Transit buses could be appealing to terrorists because of their unprecedented access to large population centers, critical infrastructures, etc., so stopping a bus might occur if the bus was hijacked by terrorists or was stolen for use as a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED).
The system, developed in coordination with TSA and industry, uses cellular communications and patches into the existing safety controls on the bus to restrict speed and activate the brake system on the bus to bring it to a safe stop and opens the doors for unobstructed access by law enforcement. The commands are received at the speed of texting, giving law enforcement a way to predict, and therefore choose, a location to stop the bus. This is just one example of things TSNM is doing to make all modes of transportation more safe.
Of course one blog post is not enough space to write about the dozens of proprietary K9 teams now charged with screening cargo, the hundreds of rail inspectors working with industry to enhance the secure infrastructure of that system, the men and women of TSA working to shore up general aviation or pipelines or subways or on and on .
So I hope you are as intrigued as I am about the work this agency does, because I would almost bet, you never even knew we did some of the things we do. I know I didn't.

1969 Mustang Parts
For the 1969 model year, the Ford Mustang received a major redesign and restyling that, again, changed many 1969 Ford Mustang parts from those of previous model years. In addition, competition was increasing, so many new 1969 Mustang parts were added to gain more power and performance, and resulted in several new special models including the Mach 1, Boss 302 and Boss 429 Mustangs that were sold alongside the already established Shelby GT350 and GT500.
Refine Your Search
Currently Selected
1969 Mustang PartsTwo notable changes were made with 69 Mustang parts. First, the 1969 Mustang parts on several engines were updated to produce more power, which even resulted a few new engines, including the Boss 302 V-8, two new 351 V-8s, the 428 Cobra Jet/Super Cobra Jet V-8 and the massive Boss 429 V-8. The second change to 69 Mustang parts was with the design of the car itself. New sheet metal was used in 1969, sitting on a larger body, with a new grille design that used quad round headlights for the first time. Just shy of 300,000 Mustangs were sold in 1969.
The 1969 Mustang was also well known for some of the special edition models that have become collector items today. Most of these 1969 Mustangs featured significant performance benefits over the standard coupe/fastback model. Some of these performance 1969 Mustang models included the Mach 1, Boss 302 and the Boss 429. Some of these 1969 Mustangs are pretty rare today and are usually only available for considerable expense.
With these changes, CJ Pony Parts continues to offer over 5,500 1969 Ford Mustang parts for customers. 1969 Mustang parts from Battery Tender, Classic Auto Air, KEE Auto Top, March Performance, Superior Axle and many other vendors are all available. CJ Pony Parts also has nearly any accessory for 69 Mustang parts, too.

Some people prefer Organic Food rather than Non-Organic Food.
What advantages can this benefit us? And how can this effect us?
Let me give you some facts based on studied researches..
1.) Organic Foods are often more expensive. Farmers do not use pesticides or other chemical related products in exchange to that it requires more intensive labor that is why it is said that it is more expensive than the usual price of non-organic foods.
2.) Organic Foods often tastes better. Like for example researchers at Washington State University had proven through lab test trials that the organic berries were consistently judged as sweeter. In addtion to that, new research verifies that some of the organic produce is often lower in nitrates and higher in antioxidants than conventional foods.
3.) Organic Foods have higher nutrient levels. Based on dietary patterns, American nutritionist Virginia Worthington confirmed that there are higher levels of nutrients in organic produced. On the average organic foods do contain higher levels of trace minerals, vitamin C and antioxidant phytonutrients.
4.) Organic Foods reduces health risks. Because organic produce are grown purely natural which do not use chemical fertilizers and other pesticides extensive researches came to conclude that organic produce reduces cancer and other diseases caused by the said chemicals to human body.
So will you go for organic food? It is now up to us what to choose. If you would go for organic food but if you think that it's too expensive then plan for it make a budget for your health diet. It will not be waste of your money. I always believe that anything is worth it if it is for your health. Let's GO ORGANIC!
