My latest featured lady needs no introduction it is none other than Ms. Joni Webb fromCote de Texas and The Skirted Round Table.
The very first time I laid my eyes on Joni's blog I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. Her posts are always so well thought out and researched, full of beautiful images and of course a dose of Joni humor!
While I tend to be a bit shy on her blog. With most of her post reaching well over a 100 comments I never really feel like anything little old me has to say is too important I do enjoy devouring them.
So sit back relax and enjoy I day in the life of Cote de Texas. I think I pretty much figured out her secret to those posts of her…it's STARBUCKS! Read and you will see for yourself.
Wake up – hit up Starbucks for run #1 of the day!!! Then I swing by McDonald's and get a sausage biscuit. Shhh – don't tell my Rabbi! It's a rainy day here in Houston, which sure makes you not want to work too hard.
Next it's time to head to my office for the day. My "office" is actually my back patio where I blog on the computer. Except, oops – it's raining, so I'll have to spend the day at my other office.
OK, I'm all set up in the other office, my back porch. Let's see, I've got my candle going, my laptop is plugged in, my books of fabric samples are out – I need to order some fabrics for clients today, I've got my new Kathryn Ireland book that I'm reading – I'm organized for the day. Except I end up taking a little morning nap for a while out here – it's hard to stay awake when it rains.
Alright, up from my morning nap, time for Starbucks run #2 – where I order the "It's Joni!" into the squawk box. They love me here – do you blame them?
And time for a little lunch. Creature of habit: Whataburger #6 with onion rings, no fries please. They love me here, too.
It's still raining, so I'm back at my alternate office for some serious blogging time after I get those darned fabrics ordered already. Then, I'll have my first appointment of the day, well, afternoon that is. You want to join me?
Let's go. It's going to be a hard commute to my appointment today. My client actually lives in the house directly across the street from me. See the house with the white truck in front of it? Instead of driving there, I'll just walk over and worry about my frizzy hair later, Scarlett.
So, let's see, I REALLY need to concentrate now and work hard. Hmmmm. I like paint sample #2. Done! My client is building new cabinets in the study and the painter is waiting on the color choice.
And I need to check on the progress of the kitchen remodeling, she is putting in a gorgeous matte black granite countertop and a creamy subway tile backsplash – nice and classic. But the best part – a Shaw's sink is going in! Looking good so far.
Appointments are over for the day. Whew, I'm exhausted from all the hard work. I'll just walk back across the street and go home, check in with my office and see what's happening.
Still raining at the office. Think I'll go to the store and buy some flowers, tomorrow's a BIG day here at Cote de Texas. The Houston Chronicle is coming to photograph my dining room table for an article on holiday decorating. Me? Holiday decorating? Haven't they listened to the new Skirted Roundtable this week (HERE)? Shameless plug. I better hurry, it's starting to get dark.
I'm back – the mini roses look just "OK" I guess. I really needed another dozen. I can't believe I have to go set my table for nothing! Well, I could always submit it to Tablescape Tuesday.
The Chronicle is doing a story on something you use each year for your Holiday table – I told them I always use my antique silver meat dome! Except I haven't really even had it since last Christmas! But the editor liked the story, so I"ll just set the table with a few place settings. Where's Eddie Ross when you REALLY need him??????????? You know, I'm kind of tired from my hard day, I think I'll just set the table in the morning. They aren't coming until 3:00 pm so I'll have plenty of time before then. I hope the flowers still look good tomorrow.
Good dinner tonight! Usually I eat Wendy's Caesar salad, but tonight my daughter Elisabeth was sweet enough to go pick up some Chinese and Sushi! Yum – I have real food tonight! One more quick run to Starbucks #3 today – that's actually a light day for me. Then, I'll go back to my office for some late night work.
It's not raining anymore, so I'm back at my "real" office for the night. Until, it's really late at night when I finally get to watch some TV news after Ben goes to bed.
Here I am all snuggly in my chair and ottoman for some serious late night blogging! This is where all the REAL work goes down.
OK, I REALLY need to go to bed – The Morning Joe is already on. I love this show – Joe and Mika, she's so funny. They crack me up. And yes, I'm a liberal, I watch MSNBC! Don't worry, I watch Fox too – just to be all fair and balanced out. In truth I've already been sleeping a few hours on top of my computer. Wish I had a shot of that pretty picture! I can see an impression of the keyboard imbedded in my forehead. Alright, I'm off to bed, I have another really busy day tomorrow with my big photoshoot!!!
A big thank you to Joni! So happy that she participated! It was fun seeing a glimpse of your life and I must say I'm very jealous over your lovely office space. I would take the outdoor cafe table, outdoor sofa or comfy chair any day of the week.
I hope you've all enjoyed a glimpse into the lives of the ladies that make up the The Skirted Round Table. You can catch Megan's day here and Linda is up next Friday!

ACL2 is used to construct mathematical models of computer hardware and software (i.e., ``digital systems'').
A mathematical model is a set of mathematical formulas used to predict the behavior of some artifact.
The use of mathematical models allows faster and cheaper delivery of better systems.
Models need not be complete or perfectly accurate to be useful to the trained engineer.

Friday, March 30, 2012
Join Lady Janitor (a.k.a. Eroca Nicols) and others for a mini festival featuring site-specific play, unapologetic fun and really loud music. Presented in association with Harbourfront Centre.
Event run: March 28–31, 2012
For details inquire at the Info Desk or call 416-973-4000.

Major Section: EVENTS
Examples: (set-inhibit-warnings "theory" "use")Note: This is an event! It does not print the usual event summary but nevertheless changes the ACL2 logical world and is so recorded. Moreover, its effect is to set the
acl2-defaults-table, and
hence its effect is
local to the book or
encapsulate form
containing it; see acl2-defaults-table.
General Form: (set-inhibit-warnings string1 string2 ...)where each string is considered without regard to case. This macro is equivalent to
(table acl2-defaults-table :inhibit-warnings lst),
lst is the list of strings supplied. This macro is an event
(see table), but no output results from a
set-inhibit-warnings event.
The effect of this event is to suppress any warning whose label is a member of this list (where again, case is ignored). For example, the warning
ACL2 Warning [Use] in ( THM ...): It is unusual to :USE ....will not be printed if
"use" (or
"USE", etc.) is a member
of the given list of strings.
Of course, if warnings are inhibited overall --
see set-inhibit-output-lst -- then the value of
:inhibit-warnings is entirely irrelevant.

A rogue state, defined
An Haaretz headline that speaks for itself:
How IDF legal experts legitimized strikes involving Gaza civilians.
Disaster has become big business. Talking to immigrants stuck in limbo in Britain or visiting immigration centers in America, Loewenstein maps the secret networks formed to help corporations bleed what profits they can from economic crisis. He debates with Western contractors in Afghanistan, meets the locals in post-earthquake Haiti, and in Greece finds a country at the mercy of vulture profiteers. In Papua New Guinea, he sees a local community forced to rebel against predatory resource companies and NGOs.
What emerges through Loewenstein's reporting is a dark history of multinational corporations that, with the aid of media and political elites, have grown more powerful than national governments. In the twenty-first century, the vulnerable have become the world's most valuable commodity. Disaster Capitalism is published by Verso in 2015 and in paperback in January 2017.

Modern Turkey was founded in 1923 from the Anatolian remnants of the defeated Ottoman Empire by national hero Mustafa KEMAL, who was later honored with the title Ataturk or "Father of the Turks." Under his authoritarian leadership, the country adopted wide-ranging social, legal, and political reforms. After a period of one-party rule, an experiment with multi-party politics led to the 1950 election victory of the opposition Democratic Party and the peaceful transfer of power. Since then, Turkish political parties have multiplied, but democracy has been fractured by periods of instability and intermittent military coups (1960, 1971, 1980), which in each case eventually resulted in a return of political power to civilians. In 1997, the military again helped engineer the ouster – popularly dubbed a "post-modern coup" – of the then Islamic-oriented government. Turkey intervened militarily on Cyprus in 1974 to prevent a Greek takeover of the island and has since acted as patron state to the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," which only Turkey recognizes. A separatist insurgency begun in 1984 by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) – now known as the Kurdistan People's Congress or Kongra-Gel (KGK) – has dominated the Turkish military's attention and claimed more than 30,000 lives. After the capture of the group's leader in 1999, the insurgents largely withdrew from Turkey mainly to northern Iraq. In 2004, KGK announced an end to its ceasefire and attacks attributed to the KGK increased. Turkey joined the UN in 1945 and in 1952 it became a member of NATO. In 1964, Turkey became an associate member of the European Community. Over the past decade, it has undertaken many reforms to strengthen its democracy and economy; it began accession membership talks with the European Union in 2005.

Economy – overview:
Turkey's largely free-market economy is increasingly driven by its industry and service sectors, although its traditional agriculture sector still accounts for about 25% of employment. An aggressive privatization program has reduced state involvement in basic industry, banking, transport, and communication, and an emerging cadre of middle-class entrepreneurs is adding dynamism to the economy and expanding production beyond the traditional textiles and clothing sectors. The automotive, construction, and electronics industries, are rising in importance and have surpassed textiles within Turkey's export mix. Oil began to flow through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline in May 2006, marking a major milestone that will bring up to 1 million barrels per day from the Caspian to market. Several gas pipelines projects also are moving forward to help transport Central Asian gas to Europe through Turkey, which over the long term will help address Turkey's dependence on imported oil and gas to meet 97% of its energy needs. After Turkey experienced a severe financial crisis in 2001, Ankara adopted financial and fiscal reforms as part of an IMF program. The reforms strengthened the country's economic fundamentals and ushered in an era of strong growth – averaging more than 6% annually until 2008. Global economic conditions and tighter fiscal policy caused GDP to contract in 2009, but Turkey's well-regulated financial markets and banking system helped the country weather the global financial crisis and GDP rebounded strongly to 9.2% in 2010, as exports returned to normal levels following the recession. Growth dropped to approximately 3% in 2012. Turkey's public sector debt to GDP ratio has fallen to about 40%, and at least one rating agency upgraded Turkey's debt to investment grade in 2012. Turkey remains dependent on often volatile, short-term investment to finance its large trade deficit. The stock value of FDI stood at $117 billion at year-end 2012. Inflows have slowed because of continuing economic turmoil in Europe, the source of much of Turkey's FDI. Turkey's relatively high current account deficit, uncertainty related to monetary policy-making, and political turmoil within Turkey's neighborhood leave the economy vulnerable to destabilizing shifts in investor confidence.

Refugees and internally displaced persons:
refugees (country of origin): 11,322 (Iraq) (2012); 463,885 (Syria) (2013)
IDPs: at least 954,000-1.2 million (displaced from 1984-2005 because of fighting between Kurdish PKK and Turkish military; most IDPs are Kurds from eastern and southeastern provinces; no information available on persons displaced by development projects) (2012)
stateless persons: 780 (2012)
Illicit drugs:
key transit route for Southwest Asian heroin to Western Europe and, to a lesser extent, the US – via air, land, and sea routes; major Turkish and other international trafficking organizations operate out of Istanbul; laboratories to convert imported morphine base into heroin exist in remote regions of Turkey and near Istanbul; government maintains strict controls over areas of legal opium poppy cultivation and over output of poppy straw concentrate; lax enforcement of money-laundering controls

We've received many questions on the safety and privacy of the Millimeter Wave Whole Body Imager. As you can see from the chart above, the Millimeter Wave emits a smaller dose than simply walking outside on a sunny day.
I'll quote a few noteworthy items from the Privacy Impact Assessment for TSA Whole Body Imaging. (PIA) I suggest you read the entire assessment for more information.
The Millimeter wave technology uses non-ionizing radio frequency energy in the millimeter wave spectrum to generate an image based on energy reflected from the body. The energy projected by the system is 100,000 times less than a cell phone transmission (.00000597 mW/cm2 for millimeter wave technology compared to 37.5 mW/cm2 for a cell phone)
The images created by whole body imaging technologies are not equivalent to photography and do not present sufficient details that the image could be used for personal identification.
While the equipment has the capability of collecting and storing an image, the image storage functions will be disabled by the manufacturer before the devices are placed in an airport and will not have the capability to be activated by operators.
The TSA is not the first organization to use Millimeter wave technology. It's currently used in various government locations across the United States, as well as international aviation and mass transit environments including:
Domestic locations Federal Court House (VA), Colorado Springs Court House (CO), Department of Corrections facility (PA), Los Angeles County Court House (CA), Cook County Court House (IL)
International airports U.K., Spain, Japan, Australia, Mexico, Thailand, Netherlands
The results in the first week of use at LAX and JFK speak for themselves.
LAX: 544 passengers were screened from 4/18 to 4/22 using Millimeter Wave technology. Only 18 passengers chose not to undergo the screening.

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Many users develop proof scripts in an Emacs buffer and submit one
event at a time to the theorem prover running in a
*shell* buffer.
The script buffer is logically divided into two regions: the events
that have been accepted by the theorem prover and those that have
not yet been accepted. An imaginary ``barrier'' divides these two
regions. The region above the barrier describes the state of the
*shell* buffer (and ACL2's logical world). The region below the
barrier is the ``to do'' list.
We usually start a proof project by typing the key lemmas, and main goal into the to do list. Definitions are here just regarded as theorems to prove (i.e., the measure conjectures). Then we follow ``The Method.''
(1) Think about the proof of the first theorem in the to do list. Structure the proof either as an induction followed by simplification or just simplification. Have the necessary lemmas been proved? That is, are the necessary lemmas in the done list already? If so, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, add the necessary lemmas at the front of the to do list and repeat Step 1.
(2) Call the theorem prover on the first theorem in the to do list and let the output stream into the *shell* buffer. Abort the proof if it runs more than a few seconds.
(3) If the theorem prover succeeded, advance the barrier past the successful command and go to Step 1.
(4) Otherwise, inspect the failed proof attempt, starting from the beginning, not the end. Basically you should look for the first place the proof attempt deviates from your imagined proof. If your imagined proof was inductive, inspect the induction scheme used by ACL2. If that is ok, then find the first subsequent subgoal that is stable under simplification and think about why it was not proved by the simplifier. If your imagined proof was not inductive, then think about the first subgoal stable under simplification, as above. Modify the script appropriately. It usually means adding lemmas to the to do list, just in front of the theorem just tried. It could mean adding hints to the current theorem. In any case, after the modifications go to Step 1.
We do not seriously suggest that this or any rotely applied algorithm will let you drive ACL2 to difficult proofs. Indeed, to remind you of this we call this ``The Method'' rather than ``the method.'' That is, we are aware of the somewhat pretentious nature of any such advice. But these remarks have helped many users approach ACL2 in a constructive and disciplined way.
We say much more about The Method in the ACL2 book. See the home page.
Learning to read failed proofs is a useful skill. There are several kinds of ``checkpoints'' in a proof: (1) a formula to which induction is being (or would be) applied, (2) the first formula stable under simplification, (3) a formula that is possibly generalized, either by cross-fertilizing with and throwing away an equivalence hypothesis or by explicit generalization of a term with a new variable.
At the induction checkpoint, confirm that you believe the formula being proved is a theorem and that it is appropriately strong for an inductive proof. Read the selected induction scheme and make sure it agrees with your idea of how the proof should go.
At the post-simplification checkpoint, which is probably the most
commonly seen, consider whether there are additional rewrite rules
you could prove to make the formula simplify still further. Look
for compositions of function symbols you could rewrite. Look for
contradictions among hypotheses and prove the appropriate
implications: for example, the checkpoint might contain the two
(P (F A)) and
(NOT (Q (G (F A)))) and you might
realize that
(implies (p x) (q (g x))) is a theorem. Look for
signs that your existing rules did not apply, e.g., for terms that
should have been rewritten, and figure out why they were not.
Possible causes include that they do not exactly match your old
rules, that your old rules have hypotheses that cannot be relieved
here -- perhaps because some other rules are missing, or perhaps
your old rules are disabled. If you cannot find any further
simplifications to make in the formula, ask yourself whether it is
valid. If so, sketch a proof. Perhaps the proof is by appeal to a
combination of lemmas you should now prove?
At the two generalization checkpoints --- where hypotheses are discarded or terms are replaced by variables --- ask yourself whether the result is a theorem. It often is not. Think about rewrite rules that would prove the formula. These are often restricted versions of the overly-general formulas created by the system's heuristics.
See proof-tree for a discussion of a tool to help you navigate through
ACL2 proofs.

Top Contributors, 2008 Cycle
This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2008 election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate , rather the money came from the organizations' PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.
Because of contribution limits, organizations that bundle together many individual contributions are often among the top donors to presidential candidates. These contributions can come from the organization's members or employees (and their families). The organization may support one candidate, or hedge its bets by supporting multiple candidates. Groups with national networks of donors - like EMILY's List and Club for Growth - make for particularly big bundlers.
This candidate received no contributions large enough to generate this list.

Getting around on foot in the downtown areas of the massive metropolitan area of Minneapolis and St Paul is a fascinating experience on the famous skyways, a network of enclosed walkways which connect buildings in the city centre at second-storey level, ensuring no pedestrian needs to be exposed to bad weather. About 69 blocks of downtown Minneapolis are connected by skyways. When your feet are tired, hop on the bus: MetroTransit operates one of the largest public transport systems in the United States, running about 73-million bus trips every year. Trip planners and route information are readily available in the city and from hotel concierges. The relatively new Hiawatha Light Rail Transit route links downtown to the airport and the Mall of America, and the Northstar Corridor route takes passengers as far north as Big Lake. The twin cities also have numerous taxi services, available on call or outside hotels and other public venues.

It's inevitable that every several months or so, some cute kid gets their mug posted on a major news publication with a headline reading something like: "Does this look like a terrorist to you?" Anything involving kids or cats gets tons of mileage and everybody starts tweeting and retweeting that there's an 8 year old on the no fly list.
There are no children on the No Fly or Selectee lists.
What happens is the child's name is a match or similar match to an actual individual on the No Fly or Selectee Watch List.
From TSA.gov: Airlines can and should automatically de-select any 8-year-olds out there that appear to be on a watch list. Whether you're eight or 80, the most common occurrence is name confusion and individuals are told they are on the no fly list when in fact, they are not. If you get a boarding pass, you're not on the no fly list.
The no fly list is reserved for individuals that pose a known threat to aviation. The list is an important tool in our multi-layered approach to aviation security and is used daily to keep individuals that pose a threat to aviation off airplanes.
For more information on the list and to learn about the redress process for individuals that believe they may be on a watch list erroneously, click here .
Secure Flight will fix most of these problems in the future. Secure Flight matches passenger information provided by the airlines with data contained in government-maintained watch list records and verifies any potential matches.
Airlines are beginning to ask for name, date of birth, and gender as it appears on the government ID you plan to use when traveling. This is a part of the Secure Flight program requirements. The program will be in full effect for domestic airlines by mid-year and the rest of the airlines are scheduled to be on board by the end of 2010. Initial estimates indicate that under Secure Flight, in excess of 99 percent of passengers who provided the additional data elements will be able to use Internet check-in, kiosks and experience no delays in obtaining their boarding passes.
In the short term, individuals who have been misidentified as a match or possible match for a Watch List can work through the DHS Redress process to resolve the issue.
Secure Flight Related Posts on the TSA Blog
***Update 1/19/2010 - 4:45 PM***
First and foremost, I want to clarify that my post wasn't directed at this or any family who have been inconvenienced in situations such as this, but more at the perpetual reporting that there are children on the No Fly list. As a father of two young children, I sympathize with any parent's frustration at being told their child is on a terrorist watch list, and empathize with any parent going through that situation. It's terrible.
We've said it before , there are no 8 year olds – or other children – on the No Fly or Selectee lists. We may not own the lists (the Terrorist Screening Center does), but we know that kids aren't on them for sure. The ticketing agent, sky cap or other airline employees at the airport do not know who is on or not on a watch list, and they have no business telling a parent that their kid is on one because it's simply not true. Airlines can and should automatically de-select any child that appears to be on a watch list when they see them at the check-in counter. You can also check this out for other debunked myths about watch lists.
Anyone who can't print a boarding pass from home or at a kiosk because they are currently misidentified with someone who is actually on the list should apply for redress to fix the problem. And as I've said before, TSA is working to implement the Secure Flight program, which brings watch list matching back to TSA from the airlines. When people provide their date of birth and gender when booking their flight under Secure Flight, it will eliminate about 99% of misidentifications once its fully implemented.
For anybody who is new to the TSA Blog, please know that I'm a blogger and not an official TSA media spokesperson.
The way I write and address issues is different than a spokesperson would address issues with traditional media, and I certainly didn't mean to belittle the experience of any families who have been through this.

New London's city-owned buildings haunted by decades of deferred repairs
New London - Fire Headquarters on Bank Street does not meet fire and safety codes.
Two-by-fours hold some windows in place. Mold grows around the shower stalls in the unventilated bathrooms.
The ceiling on the third floor of City Hall is so damaged by a leaky roof that went unrepaired for years that each morning, employees sweep up chunks of plaster that have fallen overnight. A room on the first floor, where a broken steam pipe went unchecked for months, is boarded up, shutting off what workers say is a room filled with mold.
At the Martin Center on Broad Street, which houses the Recreation Department, senior center and offices for Youth Affairs and the Water Authority, an industrial-sized plastic trash bag under a hole in the ceiling on the third-floor staircase landing catches dripping water and debris. In the senior center's arts and crafts and computer rooms, window sills are warped from years of water damage. Brown water marks stain the walls.
The city owns dozens of buildings where every day, workers collect taxes, write up zoning reports, file birth certificates and land deeds and provide programs for seniors and students. And every day, those workers and the public face environments rife with decay.
Officials are aware of the conditions, but there is no comprehensive plan for dealing with the problem.
Earlier this month, Ledge Light Health District ordered the city to clean up the vacant room on the first floor of City Hall where the broken steam pipe sent humidity levels into the high 90s and turned the room into a petri dish for mold and mildew.
The public health order highlighted the lack of maintenance over the years on the 1 million square feet of space the city owns in 31 buildings. While the infrastructure is falling apart, there is little money in the $81 million budget to address serious health hazards and building code violations.
"We've been deferring maintenance for decades," said Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio. "We've decimated the public works department to the point where it's really laughable in terms of having the staff and budget we would need to do routine maintenance, even if a building is brand new."
Last year, 12 workers were in the building and maintenance division of Public Works. In 2004, the division had 16. In the 1980s and early 1990s, up to 34 worked there, according to a 2012 Public Works Budget and Staffing History report.
In a city where half the properties are nonprofit and do not pay local taxes, the burden lies with businesses and residents to come up with the money for repairs.
Upgrades and repairs to all the city's buildings could cost an estimated $23 million, according to a 2008 report from the Public Works Department. The average age of city buildings is 54 years.
"None of the buildings have gone through any extensive upgrades/renovations in many years, and most mechanical upgrades have taken place upon emergency failure resulting in reactive maintenance instead of preventative maintenance," wrote Keith Chapman, the former public works director who compiled the report.
While a few of the maintenance projects identified in the report were addressed, most have not been. The buildings remain in pretty much the same condition as described in 2008.
"In budget requests we've made, we have been aggressively trying to address these needs, but (the requests) have never been funded," Finizio said. For example, last year he asked for $500,000 for repairs to City Hall, but the money was never approved.
"We really need to prioritize how we're spending our money," said City Councilor Michael Passero after hearing a request last week from Public Works for $250,000 to make emergency City Hall repairs. "We can't just shoot from the hip anymore. We need a list. ... We really need to prioritize how we're spending our money."
Rips, stains, cracks
During a visit to the senior center last week, Elizabeth Witter, the center's senior coordinator, pointed to peeling paint, water-stained ceilings, ripped carpets and window sills so damaged by water they are nearly disintegrating. Electrical problems plague the kitchen.
"We blow circuits every day," she said. "If you use the coffee pot and the microwave, it will blow."
Recreation Director Tommy Major, who has worked for the city going on 40 years, said he hasn't been in a "good building" since the day he started working in his first office in the former YMCA, where a hole in the ceiling opened to the sky.
"It hasn't been all that great, but I have the utmost respect for my staff. They suck it up. They love their jobs and they come in every day, and they do what's best for the community," he said. In October, the department became the first in the state to earn accreditation through the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies and the National Recreation and Park Association. It was only one of three departments in New England to receive the national accreditation.
At fire headquarters on Bank Street, a two-bay station built in 1939 after the original building was destroyed in the 1938 hurricane, structural problems are evident in the cracked floors and slanted doorways.
Fire Chief Henry E. Kydd Jr. walked through the building last week, past administrative offices where a plastic sheet covers a bookcase and brown streaks stain the walls. Some 20-year-old replacement windows don't lock, and sashes are broken so they can't be opened. Ceiling tiles are water-stained and in some areas missing altogether, exposing the electrical wires and plumbing. In the bathrooms in the center of the building, floor tiles are coming up. The tape around the shower stalls is covered in black mold.
"I would say there's a mold situation here," Kydd said.
The door to a side yard where firefighters sometimes eat at picnic tables doesn't shut tightly because the building has shifted over the years. The sweep, which is where the door meets the floor, had to be replaced three times last year, he said.
"We have to keep out the rodents," he said. "Yes, we have mice. Doesn't everyone?"
In a 2004 report to the city manager, former Fire Chief Ron Samul said the city's three fire stations were inadequate for the needs of the department. The Bank Street headquarters did not meet fire safety codes, was not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and had no fire alarm, sprinkler or fire suppression systems.
"Each station suffers from the effect of years of neglect caused by our failure to provide the resources for routine, annual, preventative maintenance," he wrote in the 10-year-old report.
Kydd said none of those issues has been addressed.
In his report, Samul said it was "questionable if the Bank Street Station meets the basic OSHA requirement," and he recommended that city and fire officials form a committee "to implement a plan to replace the Bank Street Station ..."
No committee was ever formed.
Then-City Manager Richard Brown warned that a loss of state revenues had already forced a tax increase, and many municipal buildings, including an overcrowded police station, needed improvements, too.
Board of Education Chairwoman Margaret Curtin, who was on the City Council in 2004, remembers the report and that nothing was done.
"It's always a Band-Aid here and Band-Aid there. Eventually the Band-Aid is going to break," she said.
The city needs to build up its capital fund, she said.
Maintaining public buildings, especially older ones, is not cheap.
"It's very difficult and very expensive to redevelop these old buildings," said Ned Hammond, the city's economic development coordinator.
'The grandeur of the city'
The city put out a "Request for Proposals" offering the Martin Center for sale late last year, but no one responded, he said. Construction costs have gone up, he said, and renovating old buildings means added costs, such as updating building codes and installing new safety measures, such as water suppression systems.
"Now you have to have sprinkler systems. Those are not cheap," he said.
Constance Kristofik, executive director of New London Landmarks, believes it is worth the effort and the cost to preserve buildings like City Hall.
"These buildings are historical place-markers for civic matters," she said. "A lot of buildings that serve a community, give a sense of place to that city."
City Hall is historically a focal point, she said. It's where the community gathers, records are kept and legislation is enacted.
"It represents the grandeur of the city," she said.
New London Landmarks has agreed to help the city apply for grants to renovate City Hall.
The mayor said citizens now have to decide where their priorities are, and how much they want to invest to maintain the city's infrastructure.
"We need to have an honest debate about spending," Finizio said. "We've come to the point where we've hit the end of the road. ... Now we have to look at restaffing our departments and address routine maintenance problems. ... It's cheaper to maintain buildings as you go, than to have to fix the buildings when they fall apart."

Major Section: RELEASE-NOTES
Important changes:
Versions of ACL2 preceding this one contain a subtle soundness bug! We found a flaw in our detection of subversive-recursions. The bug allowed some subversive recursions to slip through undetected.
We believe it would have been difficult to have exploited this flaw
inadvertently. In particular, the following five conditions are
(1) Introduce a constrained function, say
f, via an
(2) In the same encapsulation, define a clique of mutually recursive functions. This clique must be non-
local and in
:logic mode.
(3) In that mutually recursive clique, use the constrained function
f (perhaps indirectly) so that the termination argument for the
clique depends on properties of the witness for
f. Thus,
f or some other function dependent upon
f, must be used in
an argument in a recursive call or in a term governing a recursive
call. Furthermore, the use of
f must be such that the
termination proof cannot be done without exploiting properties of
the witness for
f. Other uses of the constrained functions in
the clique are ok.
(4) Fail to include the exploited properties of
f among the
constraints of the encapsulation.
(5) Later, outside the encapsulation, explicitly use a functional instantiation in which
f is replaced by a function not enjoying
the crucial properties.
See subversive-recursions for details.
Less important notes:
We have begun to write some introductory tutorial material for those
who wish to learn to program in ACL2. Most of this material is
HTML-based. See the Hyper-Card on the ACL2 home page.
The documentation of
verify-guards was improved to explain why
one might wish to verify the ``guards'' of a
defthm event. The
missing documentation was noticed by John Cowles.
A bug was fixed in cross fertilization. The bug caused the system to report that it had substituted one term for another when in fact no substitution occurred. The bug was noticed by Bill McCune.
