Related Product Information
Isolate or deplete CD19+ B cells directly from whole blood, buffy coat or MNC suspensions. For rapid and consistent results in protein or gene expression analysis, lyse the cells while they are still attached to the beads and directly process for further molecular analysis.
Note: To detach the Dynabeads from the isolated cells, use DETACHaBEAD® CD19 (not supplied).
Principle of Isolation
Dynabeads are mixed with the sample in a tube. The Dynabeads will bind to the target cells during a short incubation, and then the bead-bound cells are separated by a magnet.
- Positive isolation – discard the supernatant and use the bead-bound cells for downstream applications (e.g. molecular analysis or cell culture).
- Depletion – discard the bead-bound cells and use the remaining, untouched cells for any application.
Description of Materials
Dynabeads CD19 are uniform, superparamagnetic polystyrene beads (4.5 μm diameter) coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for the CD19 membrane antigen.
Materials Supplied
- 5 ml Dynabeads CD19 pan B 4 x 108beads/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.02% sodium azide (NaN3).
- This product can be used to process up to 5 x 109 cells.
Additional Materials Required
- Magnet (Dynal MPC™): See www.lifetechnologies.com/magnets-selection for magnet recommendations.
- Mixer allowing both tilting and rotation.
- Buffer 1: PBS (without Ca2+ and Mg2+) w/0.1% BSA and 2 mM EDTA, pH 7.4.
- Optional: DETACHaBEAD CD19 (Cat. no. 125.06D)
Dynabeads should be washed before use.
1. Resuspend the Dynabeads in the vial.
2. Transfer the desired volume of Dynabeads to a tube.
3. Add the same volume of Buffer 1, or at least 1 ml, and mix.
4. Place the tube in a magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
5. Remove the tube from the magnet and resuspend the washed Dynabeads in the same volume of Buffer 1 as the initial volume of Dynabeads.
Sample Preparation
Cells can be directly isolated from any sample such as whole blood, bone marrow, MNC suspensions or tissue digests.
Please visit www.invitrogen.com/samplepreparation for a list of recommended sample preparation procedures.
Critical Steps for Cell Isolation
- Use a mixer that tilts and rotates the tubes to ensure Dynabeads do not settle at the bottom of the tube.
- When incubating Dynabeads and cells, the incubation temperature must be 2 - 8°C to reduce phagocytic activity and other metabolic processes.
- Never use less than 25 μl Dynabeads per ml cell sample and at least 4 Dynabeads per target cell.
Table 1: Volume of Dynabeads added per ml of cell sample. The volumes can be scaled up as required.
|Positive isolation
|Sample volume
(e.g. 2.5 x 107 cells/ml)
Max 2.5 x 106 target cells/ml*
|1 ml
|1 ml
|Volume of Dynabeads
|25 μl
|50 μl
|Total no. of cells
processed per product
|5 x 109 cells
|2.5 x 109cells
* If the concentration of target cells is increased, the volume of Dynabeads must be increased accordingly. Cell concentration can be up to 1 x 10 8 cells per ml.
Cell Isolation
- Add Dynabeads to the prepared sample according to table 1.
- Incubate for 20 min (positive isolation) or 30 min (depletion) at 2 - 8°C with gentle tilting and rotation.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 2 min.
- Depletion: Transfer the supernatant containing the unbound cells to a fresh tube for further experiments.
- Positive isolation: Discard the supernatant and gently wash the bead-bound cells 4 times, using the following procedure:
i) Add 1 ml Buffer 1 per 1 x 107Dynabeads.
ii) Place the tube in the magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
- Resuspend the cells in buffer/medium for downstream application. For molecular studies, lyse cells while still attached to the beads and transfer supernatant to a new tube for protein or gene expression analysis.
Detachment of Dynabeads from Isolated Cells
Efficient detachment of Dynabeads CD19 from the positively isolated cells is achieved by using DETACHaBEAD® CD19 (Cat. no. 125.06D) – see protocol at www.invitrogen.com for details.
This product is stable until the expiry date stated on the label when stored unopened at 2-8°C. Store opened vials at 2-8°C and avoid bacterial contamination. Keep Dynabeads in liquid suspension during storage and all handling steps, as drying will result in reduced performance. Resuspend well before use.

An area Coast Guard unit that does multi-service training has a new leader.
An area Coast Guard unit that does multi-service training has a new leader.
A change-of-command ceremony was held Thursday for the Coast Guard Special Missions Training Center located aboard Camp Lejeune.
Capt. Jonathan Riffe assumed command of the unit during the ceremony held at Marston Pavilion, according to Coast Guard information.
Riffe takes the helm from Capt. Mark Wilbert, who had served as commanding officer since 2011.
During the ceremony, Wilbert acknowledged the unit�s place as a Center of Excellence for tactical boat operations.
"It�s been a great two years watching the transformation of the SMTC into the Coast Guard Center of Excellence," said Wilbert.
For Wilbert, the change of command meant the end of an extensive career with the Coast Guard.
Wilbert retired after serving more than 34 years in the service. He enlisted in the Coast Guard in October 1978 and worked his way through the enlisted ranks to chief petty officer before attending officer candidate school in 1988, where he subsequently received his commission.
Wilbert and his wife will be moving to Mount Pleasant, S.C., the Coast Guard said.
Riffe moves up in his career.
He is a 1991 graduate of the Coast Guard Academy, where he earned a bachelor�s degree in electrical engineering. He served as the director of the Force Readiness Command�s Performance Technology Center in Yorktown, Va.
With his new duties, he takes on a unit that develops training to improve performance, ensure safety, and promote proficiency for the tactical communities it serves.
SMTC is located at Courthouse Bay and trains more than 800 Coast Guard and Navy men and woman each year.

See the Incremental
Releases section of the ACL2 Version
2.9 News page for incremental releases.
ACL2 works on Unix/Linux, Macintosh, and some Windows operating systems (at least including Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP). It can be built on top of any of the following Common Lisps:
Obtaining GCL
Gnu Common Lisp (GCL) has probably been the most commonly-used platform for ACL2, certainly among non-commercial Lisps. IMPORTANT: Here we are referring to the non-ANSI version (sometimes called the "CLtL1 version") of GCL. It is probably impossible to build ACL2 with ANSI GCL as of December 2005, but recent GCL advances suggest that this may be possible soon.
Debian package. You do not need to fetch GCL if you download the binary Debian package for ACL2. Thanks to Camm Maguire for maintaining this package.
GCL may be fetched from
If that site goes down, you may be able to find useful information from the GCL Temporary Distribution Site.
GCL maintainer Camm Maguire suggests the following, in order of preference
(most to least):
You may obtain recent CVS versions by executing the following commands if you have CVS installed on your system, which will retrieve the latest development/unstable cvs sources by default.
export CVS_RSH=ssh [or, if using csh: setenv CVS_RSH ssh] cvs -d:ext:email@example.com:/cvsroot/gcl co gclIf you happen to know a particular version of GCL that you wish to obtain, perhaps by following GCL mailing lists, you can replace the commands above by commands such as the following.
export CVS_RSH=ssh [or, if using csh: setenv CVS_RSH ssh] cvs -d:ext:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot/gcl co -r Version_x_y_z -d gcl-x.y.z gcl
Macintosh. Robert Krug has provided instructions for building GCL on Mac OS X, which we include here (very slightly modified, in part with help from Camm Maguire) in case others find them helpful.
The normal build process for GCL on Mac OS X assumes that you have installed fink on your Mac. (If you do not know what this is, don't worry; you probably don't have it or want it.) Here we give instructions that have worked for building GCL on OS X without fink. A. Obtain recent sources (there is a problem, e.g., with gcl-2.6.7). For example, you can do the following: export CVSROOT=:pserver:email@example.com:/sources/gcl cvs -z9 -q co -d gcl-2.6.8pre -r Version_2_6_8pre gcl At some point you may be able to obtain GCL from ftp://ftp.gnu/org/, cd gnu, cd gcl, get gcl-2.6.8.tar.gz, tar xfz gcl-2.6.8.tar.gz) B. Make sure that /usr/local/bin in in your PATH; if not, run: PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin" C. cd <gcl directory> D. You now need to patch file h/powerpc-macosx.defs (this might not be necessary starting with GCL 2.6.8): Replace the line: LIBS := `echo $(LIBS) | sed -e 's/-lncurses/ /'` /sw/lib/libintl.dylib With: LIBS := `echo $(LIBS) | sed -e 's/-lncurses/ /'` /usr/local/lib/libintl.dylib E. Configure and start to build gcl: ./configure make F. Install gcl: sudo make install
Obtaining Allegro Common Lisp
Allegro Common Lisp is probably the most commonly-used commercial platform for
ACL2. You may be able to obtain a trial version from its web site,
Obtaining CMU Common Lisp
CMU Common Lisp (sometimes called CMUCL) is a non-commercial Common Lisp
implementation, available from
Obtaining CLISP
CLISP is a non-commercial Common Lisp implementation, available from
Obtaining OpenMCL
OpenMCL, a free Common Lisp implementation that runs on Macintosh OS X, is
available from
Obtaining MCL
Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL), a commercial Lisp for the Macintosh, is available
Obtaining Lispworks
Lispworks is a commercial Common Lisp available from
Lispworks note. We initially encountered a problem in getting ACL2 to run under LIspworks 4.2.0. The Lispworks folks provided a patch and suggested that we make the following announcement.
Users with LispWorks4.2.7 should ask us at firstname.lastname@example.com for the transform-if-node patch. It will be helpful if they quote (Lisp Support Call #11372) when doing so. Also, they must send a bug form generated from their LispWorks image: instructions at http://www.lispworks.com/support/bug-report.html.
The sources come with books that you may find helpful in your proof development and programming with ACL2. Two collections of books are not included with the sources:
For Linux (especially Debian GNU Linux), you can download the Debian package for Linux. Thanks to Camm Maguire for maintaining this package, and for pointing out that as Debian packages are simply ar and tar archives, they can be unpacked on any linux system, and who says: If someone is running Debian, all they want to do is 'apt-get install acl2', doing likewise for any optional add-on package they wish as well, e.g. emacs, infix, etc.
You can fetch the above package for a linux
system other than Debian and unpack it as follows. First, connect to the
directory under which you install ACL2 versions and download the
.deb file there. Then submit these commands (changing
2.9.3-7" and "
i386" as appropriate).
mkdir acl2_2.9.3-7 cd acl2_2.9.3-7 mv ../acl2_2.9.3-7_i386.deb . ar x acl2_2.9.3-7_i386.deb tar xvfz data.tar.gzThis will create subdirectory
usr/. Edit
usr/bin/acl2 by replacing "
/usr" with the full
pathname for "
Alternatively, you can use the program
alien to convert the
.deb file to
.rpm format. Of course, with the method
shown above or with
alien, you will not have the benefit of
package maintenance.
From time to time, a Windows binary release ("Windows Installer") is made available. Jared Davis has made one available here.

you have Gnu tar by running "

cd dir
gunzip acl2.tar.gz
tar xpvf acl2.tar
rm acl2.tar
[Note for Macintosh users: You may want to look at the sections "Dealing with
Unix linebreaks" and (MCL only) "Memory" in file
[Note for Windows systems: You may be able to download a
gunzip/tar utility from the internet for your system, in which case you may not
need to fetch individual files as discussed below. For example,
djtarnt.exe from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/djtarnt.exe can be used as follows:
djtarnt.exe -x acl2.tar.gzThen again,
acl2.tar.gz contains files in Unix format, hence if
you encounter problems, fetch the files individually. WARNING: At least one
user experienced CR/LF issues when using WinZIP, so you may want to avoid WinZIP.]
Create a subdirectory of dir named
Open an ftp connection to
ftp.cs.utexas.edu by anonymous login and ftp
to the local
acl2-sources subdirectory all of the files
and directories in and below the ftp directory
pub/moore/acl2/v2-9/acl2-sources. You may link to our
ftp sources directory by clicking
[Note: You may need to use text mode, not binary mode, for example if you use Fetch on a Macintosh.]
You will find that
contains many files, subdirectories, sub-subdirectories, etc. We mean
for you to copy over to your local connected directory the entire
structure of files and subdirectories. Thus, when this ftp operation
is done, your local connected directory should have a subdirectory
acl2-sources and it should contain (at some level)
everything obtained by the ftp. Your local
subdirectory will now look exactly as though you had obtained our
acl2.tar.gz and done the
tar and
rm steps of the Unix instructions.
Tip for Windows users: We have received the suggestion that people untarring with winzip should probably turn off smart cr/lf conversion.
Now proceed to Creating An Executable Image.
mcl-acl2-startup.lisp to complete the installation, and then
proceed to Using ACL2.
PLEASE NOTE: The available memory for ACL2 is determined by the underlying Common Lisp executable. If you need more memory, refer to your Common Lisp's instructions for building an executable.
.md5sum file
was created using
md5sum. We may add additional
links from time to time.
Note that the Debian images may work with other Linux systems as well.
Now proceed to Using ACL2.
make LISP=xxx
By default, if no
LISP=xxx is specified,
LISP=gcl is used. On our hosts,
gcl is the name of
GNU Common Lisp, which can be obtained as explained above.
This will create executable
saved_acl2 in the
acl2-sources directory.
The time taken to carry out this process depends on the host processor but may be only a few minutes for a fast processor. The size of the resulting binary image is dependent on which Lisp was used, but it may be in the vicinity of 17 megabytes.
make works for the Common Lisps listed in Requirements above on Unix and Linux systems we have
tested. See the file
acl2-sources/GNUmakefile for further details.
If this
make command does not work for you, please see the
instructions for non-Unix/Linux systems below.
You can now skip to Using ACL2.
mcl-acl2-startup.lisp and then skip to Using
ACL2. If you are using a trial version of Allegro Common Lisp, then
you may not be able to save an image. In that case, skip to Running Without Building an Executable Image.
See also Building an Executable Image on Some Particular Systems, in case you want to skip directly to the instructions in one of its subtopics.
Otherwise, proceed as follows.
Your Common Lisp should be one of those listed in
Requirements above. Filenames
below should default to the dir
directory, e.g., for GCL, connect to
/acl2-sources before invoking GCL or, after
entering GCL, do

fresh Lisp type:
; Initialization, first pass (load "init.lsp") (in-package "ACL2") (load-acl2) (initialize-acl2)This will load the new object files in the Lisp image and bootstrap ACL2 by reading and processing the source files. But the attempt at initialization will end in an error saying that it is impossible to finish because a certain file was compiled during the processing, thus dirtying the image yet again. (If however the attempt ends with an error during compilation of file

fresh GCL session and invoking

proceeding to the next step.
some of which we have tried to incorporate here. A useful point made there is
that when you want to quit ACL2, use
:good-bye (or
(good-bye) which works even in raw Lisp). Or you can use
(user::bye) in raw Lisp. The point is: Avoid
control-d, even thought that often works fine in emacs under
PATH variable gcl-dir
\gcc\bin, where
gcl-dir is the directory where GCL is installed. To get to the place to
set environment variables, you might be able to go to the control panel, under
system, under advanced. Alternately, you might be able to get there by opening
My Computer and right-clicking to get to
then selecting the
Advanced tab. At one time, when GCL/Windows
was release as Maxima, Pete Manolios suggested adding the system variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the value "maxima-dir\gcc\i386-mingw32msvc\include"; this
may or may not be necessary for your GCL installation (and the path would of
course likely be different).
Building ACL2 on Windows from Scratch _____________________________________________________________ Note: The disk space requirements are large. Not including emacs, I had about 275 MB taken up by msys/mingw32/gcl/acl2 during the build process. You can probably use much less space by removing files after you use them, but I didn't bother to do that. Here are the steps I took: Downloaded emacs 21.3 full distribution and installed Downloaded msys 1.10.10, installed to c:\acl2 Downloaded mingw 3.1.0-1, installed to c:\acl2\mingw Downloaded gcl 2.5.3, extracted to c:\acl2\mingw Downloaded acl2 2.8, extracted to c:\acl2\sources Compiling gcl: in msys: cd /acl2/ming2/gcl-2.5.3 ./configure make make install Compiling acl2: copy "etags.exe" to /mingw/bin. you can find this program in your emacs folder, under "bin". in msys: cd /sources make Certifying ACL2 books: This took 111 minutes on my Athlon 2500+ in msys: cd /sources mv nsaved_acl2.gcl.exe saved_acl2.exe vim books/Makefile-generic, remove "nice" from this line: ACL2=time nice ../../saved_acl2 make certify-books ACL2=/sources/saved_acl2.exe
We assume you have obtained ACL2 and placed it in directory dir, as
described above for Unix/Linux or other platforms. If you downloaded a pre-built ACL2 image, then you may skip this section.
Otherwise, connect to subdirectory
acl2-sources of dir,
start up your Common Lisp, and compile by executing the following forms.
This sequence of steps need only be performed once.
(load "init.lsp") (in-package "ACL2") (compile-acl2)Now each time you want to use ACL2, you need only execute the following forms after starting up Common Lisp in subdirectory
acl2-sources of
(load "init.lsp") (in-package "ACL2") (load-acl2) (initialize-acl2)Note. The resulting process includes the ACL2 documentation, and hence will probably be considerably larger (perhaps twice the size) than the result of running an executable image created as described above.
Now proceed to read more about Using ACL2.

megabytes depending on the Lisp, and to certify books.
acl2.tar.gz file in order to build
acl2. That file includes more than just the ACL2 sources proper. It
suffices, for building ACL2, via the instructions above, to fetch only
acl2-sources/*.lisp files, which take up `only' about
5 megabytes, together with the files
acl2-sources/GNUmakefile and
The sources and perhaps an executable image are located on that subdirectory.
However, if you have not saved an image but instead use the directions above
for Running Without Building an Executable Image, skip
to When ACL2 Starts Up below.
The executable image is called
acl2-sources/saved_acl2. You can
invoke ACL2 by running that image, e.g.,
mycomputer% dir
If on a Unix/Linux system, then to make it easy to invoke ACL2 by typing a short command, e.g.,
mycomputer% acl2
you may want to install an executable file on your path, e.g.,
/usr/local/bin/acl2, containing the following two lines:
#!/bin/csh -f
Note: A carriage return in the file after the last line above is important!
Some hosts then automatically enter the ACL2 ``command loop,'' an ACL2 read-eval-print loop with the prompt:
ACL2 !>Other hosts will leave you in Common Lisp's read-eval-print loop. If yours is one of the latter, evaluate the Common Lisp expression
(ACL2::LP) or simply
(LP) if the current
package is
Once in the ACL2 command loop, you can type an ACL2 term, typically followed by ``return'' or ``enter,'' and ACL2 will evaluate the term, print its value, and prompt you for another one. Below are three simple interactions:
ACL2 !>t T ACL2 !>'abc ABC ACL2 !>(+ 2 2) 4
To get out of the ACL2 command loop, type the
:q command.
This returns you to the host Common Lisp. We sometimes call this
``raw Lisp.'' You may re-enter the command loop with
(LP) as above.
Note that when you are in raw Lisp you can overwrite or destroy ACL2 by executing inappropriate Common Lisp expressions. All bets are off once you've exited our loop. That said, many users do it. For example, you might exit our loop, activate some debugging or trace features in raw Lisp, and then reenter our loop. While developing proofs or tracking down problems, this is reasonable behavior.
Now you are ready to test your image.
An easy way to test the theorem prover is to type the following term to the ACL2 command loop:
:mini-proveallThis will cause a moderately long sequence of commands to be processed, each of which is first printed out as though you had typed it. Each will print some text, generally a proof of some conjecture. None should fail.
A more elaborate test is to certify the ``books''
that come with the distribution, which is a good idea anyhow; this is our next
topic. On a Unix/Linux system, you can also certify just a small but useful
subset of the books in a few minutes by executing, in directory
make certify-books-short
acl2-sources/books. See
for information. The general topic of books is discussed thoroughly in the
ACL2 documentation; see the
BOOKS node in the documentation tree.
Books should be ``certified'' before they are used. We do not distribute certificates with our books, mainly because certification produces compiled code specific to the host. You should certify the books locally as a test of your ACL2 image.
It is easy to re-certify all the distributed books in Unix/Linux. We recommend you do this. If you have entered ACL2, exit to the operating system, e.g., by control-d in many systems.
While connected to dir
/acl2-sources, execute
make certify-booksThis will generate minimal output to the screen and will probably take an hour or two. Failure is indicated by the presence of
**CERTIFICATION FAILED** in the log.
To remove the files thus created, invoke:
make clean-books
certify-books target does not cause workshop books to be
certified. If you want to certify those books as well, you will first need to
the gzipped tar file to the
books/ directory, and then gunzip
and extract it. You can certify all the books, including books for the
workshops (including those from the 1999 workshop as described in the
(hardbound) book Computer-Aided
Reasoning: ACL2 Case Studies), using the command:
make regression
By default, certification uses the image
/acl2-sources/saved_acl2. You may specify any ACL2
image, as long as it is either a command on your Unix/Linux path or an absolute file
name, for example as follows.
make certify-books ACL2=my-acl2 make regression ACL2=/u/smith/projects/acl2/saved_acl2
We apologize to non-Unix/Linux users: we do not provide non-Unix/Linux
instructions for recertifying the distributed books. The
certification methods provided by the authors of the books vary
greatly and we codified them in the Unix/Linux makefile (GNUmakefile) used above. Most
subdirectories of
acl2-sources/books contain either a
README file or a
certify.lsp file. Users
who wish to certify one of these books and who cannot figure out (from
these scant clues) what to type to ACL2 should not hesitate to contact
the authors.
Next proceed to the section on Documentation.
ACL2's documentation is a hypertext document that, if printed in book form, is about 1100 pages or more than 2 megabytes of text. Its hypertext character makes it far more pleasing to read with an interactive browser. The documentation is available in four formats: HTML, Texinfo, Postscript and ACL2 documentation strings. All of this material is copyrighted by the University of Texas at Austin and is derived under the GNU General Public License from material copyrighted by Computational Logic, Inc.
Two Web-based guided tours of ACL2 are available from the home page
noted below. If you are already familiar with Nqthm, you might find
it useful to look at the documentation node
NQTHM-TO-ACL2. Another useful documentation topic for
beginning ACL2 users is the node
The ACL2 Home Page is
The home page provides a selected bibliography, a search button (near the top of the page), guided tours of the system, and the complete hypertext documentation tree.
Once you have installed ACL2, the HTML form of the documentation is
available locally as
We urge you to browse your local copy of the documentation rather than our Web copy, simply to reduce Web traffic and the demand on our server. (Macintosh users using MacOS 9 and earlier may, however, find filenames being truncated and hence will want to avoid the local documentation.)
Emacs Info
This is a very convenient format for accessing the ACL2 documentation from within Emacs. In Emacs, invoke
meta-x infoand then, if you are unfamiliar with Info, type
control-h mto see a list of commands available. In particular, type
g (dir
* ACL2 i.j: (dir
Documentation for ACL2 version i.j.
acl2-sources/doc/texinfo.tex which
is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. (See that file
for copyright and license information.)
Users new to emacs may find it helpful to load into emacs the file
/acl2-sources/emacs/emacs-acl2.el. Utilities
offered by this file are documented near the top of the file.
The Postscript version of the documentation is not included in our normal distribution because it is so much less useful than the hyper-text versions. But a gzipped Postscript (1.2 MB) version is available. It prints as a book of about 1000 pages and contains a Table of Contents and an index to all documented topics.
ACL2 Documentation Strings
The ACL2 system has facilities for browsing the documentation. When you are in
the ACL2 command loop, you may query the documentation on a given topic by
typing the command
:doc topic
where topic is the Lisp symbol naming the topic you want to learn about. To learn more about the on-line documentation, type
:help and then return.
Note, however, that you may find it more convenient to view the documentation
in a web browser (starting at
doc/HTML/acl2-doc.html) or in Emacs
info (starting at
This completes the installation of ACL2 Version 2.9. You may wish to
return to the Table of Contents.

alternative is to get all of the many files in the directory
split/, each of which matches the pattern
split-acl2.tar.gz* (e.g., using an `mget' command). Once
you have got all these files, concatenate them together in alphabetic
order, e.g., with the command
cat split-acl2.tar.gz* > acl2.tar.gz
If you are using Version 3.2.0 of Lispworks, there is probably a bug
in the definition of
logeqv. Harlequin has sent us a
patch; if anyone asks us for it, we will ask Harlequin if we may
forward their patch.
If you are running Linux Slackware v3.0:
#+gcl (setq COMPILER::*SPLIT-FILES* 100000)This way the lisp compiler splits large C source files in files of about 100K. Without this line, some systems do not have enough memory to compile the C files. (We saw this problem arise on a machine with 16Mb of actual memory plus 16Mb of virtual memory.)

A Closer Look
I am currently in full-on Spring shopping mode.
Whenever that happens I usually start the process by looking at my photos from the previous year and seeing what ideas I want to pull forward.
This time ,while I was reviewing old images, I found this side view of one of my favorite Summer shots.
Even though this is a simple look it's brilliantly executed and actually brings up several interesting issues regarding menswear.
First, the half-tuck shirt.
Very difficult to execute
Do you just tuck a tiny bit above the belt buckle?
Do you go for a full-frontal tuck as Mr. Cortina as done here?
I think that how the back of the shirt hangs in more important than the method of front tuckage. The length of the shirt has to be short enough so you dont have a ton of fabric folded up back there.
Polos are usually a safe option for the half-tuck.
In the Summer I will usually only do a half-tuck if I am wearing a jacket so only the front can be seen.
The half-tuck is undeniably comfortable and casual but loaded with so many obstacles.
Second, waistband rolling.
Apparently designers and manufactures think all men huge enormous butts.
I always have so much extra room in the back leg panel of my pants that it is really hard to make khakis look even remotely sexy.
I guess it is true that you never hear I guy asking "Do these Dockers make my butt look hot?"
When I have pants altered, the tailor will often bring up the back panels a little bit at the waistband in a similar way that he will remove a roll on the back of a sportcoat.
On a jacket it is called "dropping the collar" or ,in this situation, I guess it is called "dropping the waistband"
Again rolling the waistband is something i do often but only in the back half of the waistband and only when i am wearing a jacket or coat. (often the inner waistband fabric doesn't blend with the fashion fabric, so you would only want to roll the back half anyway)
Third, two inch pant cuff
Dramatic, formal and yet sporty.
The wider cuff just feels more sturdy than a standard cuff width.
Fourth, Italian pant length
I am sure it will change someday (thats fashion) but right at or slightly above the ankle still looks good to me, especially for casual Summer pants.
Fifth, those half-sock/footie things to wear with dress shoes in the Summer for a "no sock" look.
Personally most of the ones I have tried have been very flimsy and never work well.
This Summer I am going with Nike "no show" running socks or soft suede loafers that are much more comfortable to wear in the heat than hard leather shoes.
I bet you didn't think I could get five issues out of this look.

I have tried to glue it back together using the glue you get in the kite repair kit, but it does not hold. I also looked at a crazy glue, but it was not recommended for for water immersed parts. So I was wondering if anybody had the same issue and which glue one has used to fix it.

Save yourself 2 hours and a lot of facepalms... this is gist of the recent "debate" between atheist Matt Dillahunty and Christian apologist Sye Ten Bruggencate.
Views: 194
That's unreal! Did this guy have a reputation as a knowledgeable debater beforehand, or did he just come out 100% stupid and blindside everyone? It seems like all the parties should have known what they'd be getting into before agreeing to this charade.
Bruggencate has been relentlessly challenging Matt to debate him for years. Matt knows full well how ignorant (and dishonest) the guy is. But I guess he decided "Fuck it. I'll spank him once, and then I won't have to hear from him anymore."
Such ignorance. Revelation my ass
I was doing actual face-palms, even with the abridged version.
Matt quoted Bertrand Russell "...the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt". I had never heard that quote before but I sure can relate to it in my own life. On so many issues or topics I find that most atheists, myself included, do not make definitive claims which are not supported by at least a reasonable shred of evidence, data or proof. We obviously have certain biases based upon our own human experience but I applaud the fact that we strive to be accurate and fair in our claims. As Matt mentions, Sye claims to know the absolute truth due to a special friend that tells him what is true. How convenient, arrogant and closed to seeking the truth can one man be? My experience tells me that there are plenty more (millions I dare say) that share that say cocksure belief in something on bad unsupported evidence.

Battle Hardened rallied to the lead in deep stretch and posted his first career victory in Saturday's $200,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes, winning the Grade 3 test for three-year-olds by a comfortable 1 1/4-length margin. The Eddie Kenneally-trained colt completed 1 1/16 miles in 1:44 2/5 with jockey Julien Leparoux.
Owned by Coolmore principals Michael Tabor and Mrs. John Magnier, Battle Hardened opened his racing career last fall, finishing fourth at six furlongs prior to a runner-up at 1 1/16 miles, both maiden special weight events at Churchill Downs, and entered the Sam Davis off a head second in a 1 1/8-mile maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park on New Year's Eve.
He took a big step toward making the Kentucky Derby field on Saturday, picking up $120,000 in graded earnings while improving his overall ledger to 4-1-2-0, $138,855.
"This was a really good bunch of quality horses, but no stars, and that was one reason we decided to take a shot today," said Kenneally, who cross-entered Battle Hardened to a maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park Saturday before opting for the Sam Davis. "He's been training brilliantly and we were happy with how he was coming into the race, so we decided to come here and get some of the big money.
"He showed a little more professionalism today. He relaxed nicely in the thick of things. He was in a group of horses in tight and he had plenty of reasons to back out of there if he wanted to, but he showed a little bit of gameness and a little bit of toughness like you want to see going forward to the bigger races down the road."
Despite being winless, the son of Giant's Causeway was well-regarded by the betting public on Saturday, leaving the Sam Davis starting gate as the 9-2 third choice among 11 rivals. He stalked the pace from his inside post, racing within a couple of lengths in fourth during the early stages as State of Play showed the way on the lead in fractions of :23 3/5 and :47 4/5.
Battle Hardened launched his rally while four wide on the far turn and entered the stretch full of momentum. Gulfstream Park Derby hero Reveron, who raced within striking range during the early stages, was the first to pounce upon a tiring State of Play, opening up a short lead in midstretch as he passed the mile mark in 1:38, but weakened in the final sixteenth as Battle Hardened surged clear.
"He was very professional today," said Leparoux, who was riding Battle Hardened for the first time. "He broke good and put me in the right spot right away. In a big field, I knew we'd be in traffic. When he settled near the inside, he relaxed the way I wanted him to.
"On the second turn, I was able to get out and this horse has a long stride and he kept going. Eddie told me to warm him up good and it went well. I knew he was a maiden, of course, but Eddie told me his last race at Gulfstream was kind of like a win because he had a bad post and some bad luck. He ran big today."
It was a blanket finish for second, with 7-2 second choice Prospective edging the 5-1 Reveron by a nose, and 69-1 longshot Ravelo's Boy was another nose back in fourth. Neck 'n Neck, Fox Rules, State of Play, Burning Time, Moroccan Brew, Holy Highway and 7-2 favorite Ecabroni rounded out the order of finish.
Bred in Kentucky by Lakeside Farm, Battle Hardened sold for $170,000 at the 2010 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July yearling sale. He is out of stakes-winning Northern Fashion mare Jen's Fashion, the dam of 2004's Grade 1 Stephen Foster Handicap winner Colonial Colony. The 12-year-old broodmare produced a Majestic Warrior colt this year.
"We'll definitely take a real good look at the (Grade 2) Tampa Bay Derby (on March 10) and it's very likely," Kenneally said when asked about future plans. "We knew when his races started to go longer he was going to be a better horse. Two-turn races are what he wants to do and he is very good at it."

July 7th, 2017
It's time once again for Comic-Con! This year I'll be sharing the TopatoCo booth (#1229) with old pals Sam Logan and Kory Bing.
I won't have the newest Wondermark collection there — it's not quite finished being printed — but I will sign a sticker you can take home and put in the book when you do get it! Or any other book you own, or whatever!
I'm not doing any panels this year, so I'll just be at the booth the whole time, staring quietly into the middle distance until someone calls my name three times with increasing sharpness. Hope to see you there!
Here's a Wondermark puppet animation that I made a while back but never posted online for some reason!
It is an ACTION STORY about a SPACE EMERGENCY.
It was written by Zach Sigelko, and performed by Zach and myself:
Over on Patreon I've posted a link to an enormous folder full of more experimental puppet videos that Zach and I made!
The above was basically the culmination of this period of experimentation. The archive videos chronicle the early beginnings of our efforts as they gradually grow more refined.
Zach also guested on the latest episode of Malki on the Mark, in which we discuss these puppet videos, and why we made them, and so on.
It was chatting with Zach for this podcast that reminded me that I never really posted many of these online. So thanks, Zach!
I was pleased as punch to be invited to yammer for an hour on ComicLab, the making-comics podcast hosted by my pals Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar.
Here's a direct link to the episode on their site! (And on Overcast.)

Lotus Biscoff Cookie Butter Happy Face Snack
Review Recipe3 stars based on 1482 votes
Another fun recipe we developed to help moms during the "Back to School" Season. It is a great afternoon snack when kids arrive hungry after a school day
- Smooth a six-inch multi-grain or whole wheat flour tortilla lightly with Biscoff Cookie Butter.
- Make a "face" using matchstick-cut or shredded carrots for the "hair", the thin sliced ends of two plum tomatoes for rosy "cheeks", halved pimiento stuffed olives for "eyes" and a whole stuffed olive for the "nose."
- Fashion a smiley "mouth" and "eyebrows" from string cheese whips (or tear string cheese sticks into strips). After admiring the "face," roll up and enjoy.

Available qualification programs
EXIN Agile Scrum is the world's first certification program to combine Agile service management with the Scrum process framework. Scrum is being used by over 70% of Agile teams* which makes this an ideal combination. The advantages of using Agile include increased productivity, improved visibility and being better able to deal with changing priorities. These benefits have led to it being adopted across a wide range of disciplines and organizations and not just in software development.
*The 10th Annual State of Agile report
Within the European Union regulations and standards regarding the protection of data are stringent. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into force in May 2016 and organizations had until May 2018 to change their policies and processes to ensure they fully comply. Companies outside Europe will also need to comply when doing business in Europe. One of the solutions to comply in time is to qualify staff. Having certified professionals with the right level of knowledge can help prepare your organization to face these opportunities. The EXIN Privacy & Data Protection program covers the required knowledge of legislation and regulations relating to data protection and how this knowledge should be used to be compliant.

Normally, Nicki Minaj doesn't like to keep quiet. But now, it looks like she has no choice: the Pink lady has cancelled her performances at the U.K.'s V Festival (August 18 and 19) due to "strained vocal chords," according to a statement released by her publicist on Saturday. The statement says that Minaj already had bruised vocal chords during an August 14th gig in New York, and after a recent x-ray, her doctor suggested that she rest for a few more days. The news also comes just one day after reports that Minaj is a top contender for the open judge's seat on American Idol. Earlier this month, she tweeted that she has to start her fall tour later than planned, but slyly added that when her fans find out why she's postponing it, "they will be very happy." Looks like she has a good excuse to keep mum about that for a while.

I've asked this on Speculation thread, but I'll ask on this thread too... Where is the Starting Line? Does anyone know?
Since there were no updates on the LA starting line, it may be like season 20 (Bridlewood Winery; Santa Barbara) when the starting line is in a weird location. Long Beach or Simi Valley perhaps?

Confirmed Phil was in Lisbon...Posted approx. 2 days ago (from my time GMT+8, 9.22AM now)@my_travel_photo_journal"With Amazing Race host, Phil Keoghan, what are chances of meeting him here!?"Detect the exact spot guys... Lisbon town square maybe?
If the show is filming, Phil doesn't have time to sight see, he's said that himself in one way or another on numerous occasions. He'd be there to either film a location stand-up to introduce the next leg, or a clue marker, or a pit stop. We don't see the pit stop mat, but it is possible that is out of camera view, along with production.

By VINCE LUECKE, Editor
You won't find me eating unhealthy foods any more … at least not until Christmas Eve. I'm on the diet wagon and I'm committed to ending the year in better shape than I've spent the past few years.
Despite the best of intentions, I've plumped up by about 15 pounds over the past year and I both see and feel the extra baggage. My clothes are snugger than I like them and while tight-fitting attire is de rigueur in Latin America, it's not here. Even my standard mail-order haberdasher, LL Bean, has been letting me down. New pants that once had a little spare room in the waist no longer do.
I've been procrastinating when it comes to serious dieting but that all changed last week when a normally respectful nephew all of 4 or 5 years old pointed his finger at me and uttered these hurtful words: "Your belly's big."
I turned red in the face, equally ashamed and mad. I pondered retaliation, no more birthday and Christmas gifts and even disinheritance. But what does a 5-year-old care about money? He laughed and scampered away, leaving me with nothing but the truth.
It wasn't the first recent reminder of gaining weight.
Running on foot to an accident scene a few weeks ago, I stumbled and fell. It was no major accident, but as I landed on my rump, I heard the "oh-no" sound of my trousers splitting in the same general area.
I had to head home for replacement pants.
I've not done a good job of eating well, raiding the candy cabinet here repeatedly late at night and bingeing on potato chips and fried foods at home. I down diet drinks like water despite things that I've read indicating aspartame, an ingredient in most diet colas, is a contributor to not losing weight.
One guilty pleasure I've indulged in for well over a year has been eating with local police at night. Most night-shifters work 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and eat supper around 9 p.m. I tag along from time to time for company and to catch up on news – though it seems the men with badges do more asking questions of me.
Most of them scarf down chicken nuggets by the dozen and big burgers, two and three patties high. I have a chicken or burger wrap, avoiding carbohydrate-laden buns. Cops either have far busier metabolisms than I do or spend more time in the gym because their waistlines have not grown nearly as much as mine.
While my eating habits have suffered, so has my exercise. The bicycle I store at work is seldom used and the gym membership I pay for each month goes unused. All my fault.
So here comes the intervention. First, the goal of losing 40 pounds by Dec. 24. That is surely a safe goal and one I will meet.
So starting today, I'll be riding my bike every day, for at least half an hour and heading to the gym at least four nights a week.
No more really bad food either. Maybe a chicken wrap a couple of times a week but not every night. And no more bad eats at home. I'll be sticking to more fresh fruit and veggies.
I don't have the steely discipline I once did but I should still be able to stick to a routine of eating better and exercising more. But not all of my friends are convinced. A few have wagers I can't meet my goal, not even by half. I won't take their money, but they've agreed to donate $1 to charity for each pound I shed. They'll decide which group gets the donation.
Sacajawea Fireworks
A pontoon-boat ride to Cloverport , Ky., Sept. 4 was a treat that included good friends and wonderful fireworks to cap the Sacajawea Festival. Last year's fireworks had to be shot off in the rain but the Labor Day weekend was sunny and mild. I'm ready for fall.
The boat ride home around 1 a.m. was an adventure, from the steam coming up from the water and the Asian carp jumping out of the water.
I haven't heard of anyone being seriously injured by one of the fish hitting them, but I fear it's only a matter of time. Who knows how bad the problem will be in a few years?

Attention High School Teachers and Counselors
In the last several years, there has been a steady and ominous decrease in the number of students pursuing engineering and technology degrees. Some of this decline is due to the downturn in the auto industry and news reports of jobs moving oversees, but much of it is due to a lack of understanding of the career opportunities engineering offers.
How can you spark your students' interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)?
How can you show them what career opportunities are available to them in these fields?
Ask an engineer to speak to your class!
Lawrence Technological University's engineering professors can help you illustrate how the theory in your science, technology, and mathematics courses can be applied in future careers. They can also stimulate your students to consider technical degrees after high school.
Offered free of charge, "Ask the Engineer" is a service provided by Lawrence Tech in the belief that the future success and prosperity of our country and our children lie in innovation and creative problem solving. Lawrence Tech engineering professors will visit your classroom and discuss topics relevant to your lessons. Choose a presentation listed below and book your speaker by contacting Lawrence Tech's College of Engineering at 248.204.2500 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
|Nowadays, robots are used in a multitude of applications, from surgical operations on patients, to fixing hardware malfunctions on space stations. How are these mechanical systems designed? How do we control these machines to insure they perform their tasks accurately?
|Giscard Kfoury, PhD, is faculty advisor to Lawrence Tech's student Formula SAE® racing team. Kfoury has done extensive research in the areas of robotic manipulator control and observer design, engine vibration and friction estimation, and experimental engine friction measurement. His current research interests include hybrid powertrain modeling, robotics, and unmanned vehicle modeling and control.
|Creativity, Problem
Solving, and
the Engineering
Design Process
|As dramatized in the movie, Apollo 13, engineers solve problems creatively but with a systematic approach utilizing a unique set of tools. What is this approach and how do the skills learned in STEM courses create the foundation? What are the prospects for engineering problem solvers?
|Andrew Gerhart, PhD, is director of Lawrence Tech's thermal science and aerodynamics laboratories. Specializing in the thermalfluid sciences with a concentration in experimental fluid mechanics, heat flow, and power generation, Gerhart has conducted research for Sandia National Laboratories and the U.S. Department of Energy.
|Innovation will be the driving force for our economy, and engineers will have to adopt the "entrepreneurial mindset" to be successful. This is true whether they are the next Bill Gates creating their own company or "intrapreneurs" who innovate within a company. How and why should students adopt an entrepreneurial mindset?
|Don Reimer is a serial entrepreneur and the director of entrepreneurial programs at Lawrence Tech. A certified management consultant, he runs his own consulting firm, the Small Business Strategy Group of Southfield. He advises Lawrence Tech's student Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization and oversees the University's Entrepreneurial Lecture Series.
|Noise Pollution
|How noisy is too noisy? When does too much noise become unhealthy? How do we evaluate noise levels? Students will use noise meters to chart the outdoor and indoor noise level patterns of a lawn mower and a vacuum cleaner. They'll explore the characteristics of sound and the physics of noise propagation and evaluate methods to reduce noise to acceptable level.
|Edmund Yuen, PhD, PE, is the chair of Lawrence Tech's Department of Civil Engineering. His expertise includes environmental and water resources engineering. He has been an engineering consultant for Chrysler over the last 12 years, working on a diverse range of projects in stamping plants, paint shops, and assembly plant facilities.
|Going Green
|Being "green" is more than just recycling or using less oil. It involves both alternative and renewable energy systems, as well as conserving energy and optimizing traditional energy systems. What is the state of "green" engineering and what opportunities exist for engineers in the growing field of sustainability? Note that this is for grades 9 through 12 only.
|Robert Fletcher, PhD, is director of Lawrence Tech's alternative energy program. In addition to industry experience that includes developing advanced radioisotope power supplies for use by NASA in its deep-space missions, Fletcher is currently researching fuel cell durability, battery performance, power and energy for autonomous robots, wind turbines, solar photovoltaic systems, biofuels, and renewable energy systems.
|Rains, Drains,
and Automobiles
|In urban areas, rainwater flows from lawns, streets, and parking lots into drains and sewers, picking up a toxic mix of gas, oil, fertilizer, salt, and chemicals, which then empties into our rivers and lakes. A way to improve this is Low Impact Development, a process of retrofitting urban landscapes to better control water runoff – and cleanse it at the same time – before it empties into the watershed. Students will learn about landscape design features such as green roofs and rain gardens.
|Donald Carpenter, PhD, PE, LEED AP, director of Lawrence Tech's Great Lakes Stormwater Management Institute, specializes in Low Impact Development, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), and innovative stormwater best management practices.
|Systems Modeling
and Simulation
|Systems modeling and simulation is the virtual mimicking of the operation of a real system, such as the day-to-day transactions of a bank, the activity of a stock portfolio over time, or the performance of a factory assembly line. Systems simulation makes it possible for businesses and institutions to analyze their operations to improve efficiency and profitability. Find out more about this growing field and the career opportunities it presents.
|Ahad Ali, PhD, has taught and conducted research all over the world. His areas of interest and expertise are manufacturing systems modeling, simulation and optimization, reliability, web-enabled monitoring, lean manufacturing, artificial intelligence, scheduling, logistics, and supply chain management.
|Water Management
in Green Designs
|All over the world, access to fresh water – or the lack of it – can lead to strife and social unrest. In the Great Lakes region, we have a resource of enormous value: the Great Lakes contain 20 percent of the world's surface freshwater and supply drinking water to 42 million people. Learn about strategies that can conserve and manage the water supply, such as rainwater harvesting, grey water reuse, and water use reduction.
|Donald Carpenter, PhD, PE, LEED AP, director of Lawrence Tech's Great Lakes Stormwater Management Institute, specializes in Low Impact Development, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), and innovative stormwater best management practices.
|Which Way Does
the Wind Blow?
|In addition to simulating conditions using mathematical models, engineers build scaled physical models to better understand the physics of fluids (liquids and gases) in motion. Students view models that deal with such issues as air pollution, navigational shipping channels, orienting baseball stadiums to maximize the effect of wind on the frequency of home runs, and reducing the impact of wind on high-rise buildings. They also see a demonstration of how wind tunnel modeling is used to diffuse paint odors from a large automotive paint shop.
|Edmund Yuen, PhD, PE, is the chair of Lawrence Tech's Department of Civil Engineering. His expertise includes environmental and water resources engineering. He has been an engineering consultant for Chrysler over the last 12 years working on a diverse range of projects in stamping plants, paint shops, and assembly plant facilities.
|Women in
|While women have made significant advances into most of the professions, they are still underrepresented in engineering. In 2003 women comprised only 11 percent of the engineering workforce. Only about 20 percent of all engineering degrees are awarded to women although women now outnumber men in college. As a result, there is significant demand for women in engineering. The opportunities are great, but how should women prepare to be successful in the field?
|Pat Shamamy, PhD, PE, is the faculty advisor for Lawrence Tech's student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers. Shamamy has worked in industry on alloy development for nuclear-powered aircraft, fuel cell research, manufacturing optimization, and agile manufacturing. She recently spent six weeks at Shanghai University teaching engineering materials to Chinese students and also runs her own engineering consulting company.
|Sports Injury Prevention
|Metro Detroit can take pride in its contributions to automotive safety over the past 50 years, but as our ability to prevent fatal injuries grows, we must refocus our efforts on severe and costly injuries that affect a growing proportion of our population: athletes.
|Eric G. Meyer, PhD, is the director of biomedical engineering of Lawrence Tech's Experimental Biomechanics Laboratory. His primary research interests are biomechanics during sports injury and tissue engineering.

ROCKFORD - Ice-covered concrete drainage ditches around town will be monitored by Public Works crews for potential flood dangers, although officials aren't anticipating any problems.
The city will watch the concrete waterways and send crews in to remove ice if a jam could stop the flow of water, Director Tim Hanson said. The city had to hire a contractor once to break apart ice inside a concrete ditch.
Usually, the ice disappears on its own as temperatures climb above freezing.
Jerry Sowers, Public Works director in Loves Park, echoed Hanson. The city's concrete channels have sufficient capacity, so he doesn't expect trouble from ice buildup.
There's no concern about melting or flooding in the coming days because the Rock River Valley will be bitter-cold. A wind-chill advisory is in effect through noon today, with the lowest wind chills expected to reach minus 30. The National Weather Service expects winds of 15 to 30 mph.
The wind-chill advisory warns of dangerous cold air that could result in frostbite or hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
Today's high is expected to reach 5 degrees, with highs in the coming days in the teens.

Roddy White is paying up.
We came down hard on the Atlanta Falcons wide receiver last week after he reneged on a playful NCAA Tournament bet with a fan on Twitter.
White initially promised Dylan Hoyt a Falcons season ticket if 14th-seeded Mercer knocked off Duke. But after the Bears stunned the Blue Devils, the pass-catcher announced that Hoyt would get nothing more than one lowly game ticket to see the Falcons take on the Bears.
That didn't play well with the kangaroo court, but this will:
@DHoyt77 2 season tickets, 2 SB tix, pregame sideline passes to game and a day at camp as my guest. How does that soundâ
Roddy White (@roddywhiteTV)
March 27, 2014
Hoyt tweeted this week that he was fine with White shrinking the terms of the deal, but the receiver's revised offer has gained the Falcon a fan for life:
I tried telling y'all @roddywhiteTV was a good guy in the end!! Couldn't ever imagine something this awesome! #RiseUpâ Dylan Hoyt (@DHoyt77)
March 27, 2014
You've done good, Mr. White. You've done good.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" offers a full recap of the NFL Annual Meeting in Orlando, then proposes player moves that won't happen (but probably should).
