Wines are tasted blind by varietal, region and given points.
This year, we are hosting an Wine Harvest Dinner directly following the tasting. This dinner will be a celebration of the region's wines and culinary delights. As a fundraiser for both organizations there will be a silent auctions in which a portion of the proceeds will benefit both programs.

The Most Ghetto-est City you will ever see in your god forbidden life.

The slums outside of L.A. This area is very poor and revolves around gang violence, sex and drug dealing. Compton has produced famous rap artist such as Dr. Dre, IceCube and The Game

Compton is like the ocean. It's real pretty, but anytime anything can happen. The city has two major gangfactions : Southside Crips (SSC) who reside around Alondra Boulevard and intersection Avalon Blvd; And Piru Bloods in the North East section of Compton, just below Lynwood. Other sets include Leuders Park Piru, Elm Lane Piru, Kelly Park Crips, Compton Varrio 70's, Compton Varrio Largos, and the Varrio Alondra's. Murders peaked at an all time high in 1994 with 90 homicides, making it the third most dangerous city per capita in the USA. Between the years 1985 to May 2006, there have been 1397 murders in Compton, most of which are gang/drug related and involve young Black/Hispanic men between the 15-29 age bracket. A young Black male, is 25 times more likely to die from homicide compared to a White male of the same age living in the city. Despite popular misconceptions, the people of Compton are on the whole friendly and welcoming, and do not all deal drugs and gang bang which has been so cunningly potrayed in the bullshit corporate machine. Anytime you come into Compton, you will immediately sense a strong Community Spirit and kinship amongst its people which you wouldn't find in a White gated community in some Californian suburb out in the hills.

A dangerous small city outside of Los Angeles,California. Compton has a lot of known gangs,drug dealers,pimps,prostitutes. The police basicly gave up patrolling and cleaning the city up. A lot of famous rapstars came from Compton like NWA and The Game.
Compton is sooo hood and gangsta.

A nice looking city outside of LA, overpopulated by wangsters who kill people because they didnt wear the same color as them, and who walk around with bandanas covering there faces cuz they think it makes them bad ass. They act hardcore when they are in big groups or have guns on them, but when alone they are about as tough as the average person. most end up dead or in jail fighting for something that is meaningless when all those people could all just stop the bullshit get along. as a result of there wangster lifestyles, most kids in compton end up having no futures at all.
cpt crip wangster: im crippin compton, i'm gonna go kill some guy just cuz he wears red instead of blue, which will cause his gang to become angry at me, kill me and continue a meaningless cycle of violence

Mariah Vigil's buzzer beater couldn't have mattered much less.
It couldn't have mattered much more, either.
Up on Sanford by eight points, Vigil got a long pass with just enough time to lay one up for the 57-47 final margin in a game that already was well in hand.
That the game was Round 1 of the Class 2A Region 3 tournament with its single-elimination rule made the buzzer-beater matter a little bit more. That it also capped a win that put the Bobcats into the regional championship game with a CHSAA Class 2A Girls Basketball State Championships tournament berth on the line fulfilled its worthiness.
"We wanted it," Sky Cotton said.
The extent of the Bobcats' desire looked in question for the first quarter, in which they tried to give away the game at Durango High School.
Ignacio gave Sanford the ball 10 times on turnovers in the first eight minutes, most of them in the first four minutes, including its first three possessions in a row.
"Our emotions and our excitement got a hold of us," Valerie Armstrong said of the slew of turnovers.
The Bobcats trailed by as much as 8-4 before finishing the quarter down 13-12.
But after the Bobcats "talked about it ... if you want to call it that," as coach Justa Whitt dubbed the halftime chat, the Ignacio girls came out with a different attitude.
It wasn't a pleasant team conference, but it had a pleasant result for IHS.
"In the second quarter we woke up and got back to our game," Cotton said.
To anyone who's seen Ignacio play, it was a familiar game: Defense, defense and fast-break layups spiced up with intermittent 3-pointers.
From the point guard position, Michelle Simmons directed the action, tallying 16 points on her bounding drives down low. The senior added six assists.
And those assists were crucial against the much taller Indians who racked up their fair share of blocks.
"Their size definitely had us overpowered," Whitt said.
"It was a struggle, but we'd drive in and kick it out," Cotton said.
She liked that kick-out, too. Cotton scored 12 points, half of them on 3s.
"I try to make all my shots for my team," she said. "Get us going, get our confidence up and keep us rolling."
It rubbed off. Gabs Garcia scored eight, including one 3, before she had to hurry out of the gymnasium to make it to a Catholic Catechism retreat, and she was one of six Ignacio girls who scored Friday.
"I like that statline, where it's pretty even across the board," Whitt said. "That's what I told the girls: Everyone has to contribute."
The Bobcats scored 15 points from beyond the arc on the night, 12 of them before intermission to lead 27-20 at halftime.
But Sanford's size gave the Indians an offensive advantage, too, and they'd use it to make a run at the lead in the final two quarters.
The Bobcats pulled ahead by as many as 11 in the opening minutes of the second half, but the Indians leaned on their post size to go on an 8-0 run and pull within three points at 31-28.
Kelli Canty scored four of them en route to a team-high-tying 12, Bailee Canty scored two on the way to 12, too, and Jaycee Canty scored the other basket, finishing with 10.
Still, it was as close as the Indians would get. Ignacio opened up a multiple-basket lead and held on for the win.
Ignacio will play Paonia at 1 p.m. today at DHS for the regional championship and a spot in the state tournament's elite eight.
Paonia beat Del Norte 43-28 on Friday at DHS in the other regional semifinal.

Astros eager to reverse fortunes as May arrives
Peacock makes third start as Felix looks for first win since April 11
The Astros are hoping a flip of the calendar will bring better luck. After getting swept in a two-game series at home by the Nationals, they finished April with a 9-19 record.
Houston will have to start its May schedule against Seattle ace Felix Hernandez when the teams open a three-game series Friday at Minute Maid Park.
Last week, the Astros nearly swept the Mariners at Safeco Field, taking the first two games. But in the series finale, Kyle Seager hit home runs in the seventh and ninth innings to help Seattle to a 5-3 comeback win. It snapped the Mariners' eight-game losing streak and sent the Astros into a spin, as Houston has lost five of its last seven games.
The Astros have let some winnable games slip away. They have blown four saves and are 0-4 when the game is tied after the eighth inning.
"It's early. We've got guys kind of finding their roles and kind of getting their feet underneath them a little bit," said catcher Jason Castro. "It's the first month. That's why we play for six [months] at a minimum. All we can do is keep plugging away and doing what we need to do to be prepared to get out here and compete."
The Astros competed well against Hernandez on April 21, sending him to his first loss of the season in a 7-2 road victory over the 2010 American League Cy Young Award winner. "King Felix" allowed seven hits, six runs (two earned) and a walk in seven innings.
Astros: Peacock ready
On Friday, Houston will hand the ball to Brad Peacock for his third start of the season. The first two came against Oakland. Peacock worked five innings in his previous start on April 25, and he gave up five runs (three earned) with five hits and six walks. He left the game with a 5-5 tie, but the A's wound up winning, 12-5.
Peacock has lasted five innings in both of his starts since taking the rotation spot of Lucas Harrell, who was designated for assignment. In those two starts, Peacock is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA in 10 innings, including nine walks, seven strikeouts and a 1.90 WHIP.
In Peacock's last start, he was done after five frames when his pitch count reached 92.
"Definitely fastball location, I was struggling all night with it," Peacock said. "Luckily, I had some offspeed to help me out. But I was at 90-something pitches through five innings, which isn't too good, so I just battled all night."
Mariners: Hernandez ready to bounce back
After Hernandez's rough start against the Astros, he went six innings, giving up five hits, three runs and three walks while picking up a no-decision in a 6-3 loss to the Rangers on Saturday. Hernandez also struck out four and walked three on 107 pitches, but he couldn't hold a 3-0 lead entering the fifth inning.
"They were swinging at the first pitch," Hernandez said. "I made a couple mistakes and they put good swings on it."
It was better than his previous outing against Houston, but it didn't meet Hernandez's standards after he got off to a 3-0 start to begin the season. Hernandez is 3-1 with a 2.40 ERA and has an incredible 47-7 K-BB ratio, but he hasn't won a start since April 11.
Worth noting
• The Astros are 2-1 against the Mariners despite their rough start to the regular season.
• Entering their game Thursday against the Yankees, the Mariners had played 21 of their first 25 games of the season against division opponents and 14 of their first 25 on the road. That ranks as the toughest schedule in the AL, according to baseballreference.com.

Our History
In 1927, Menlo College was founded as a two-year program for young men to complete their lower division coursework before transferring to an upper division college or university.
When Stanford University considered dropping its freshman and sophomore classes, it was imagined that Menlo College might become the junior college division of Stanford University. Menlo's fate rested with the Stanford Board of Trustees until 1932 when Stanford decided to remain a four-year undergraduate university with graduate schools.

I felt that I could become a part of a special family, and I was honored to accept the reins as its chief champion.

Student Body
We're always hearing students and alumni say, "Menlo is like a family." This is no accident; it's core to who we are. We have found that living, learning and playing together in a small, close-knit community builds relationships that strengthen students while they are here and for the rest of their lives.
At Menlo College, we pride ourselves on having a diverse student body. More than half our students identify as non-white, and 17% represent 30 different nations in Asia, Europe, Latin America and Africa. Nearly a quarter of our faculty come from countries other than the US.
At Menlo, we believe on-campus living is an essential part of the Menlo experience. We have instituted residence policies with the goal of maintaining a substantial on-campus student body, and making on-campus living a positive experience for all.

At Menlo, we believe on-campus living is an essential part of the Menlo experience. We have instituted residence policies with the goal of maintaining a substantial on-campus student body, and making on-campus living a positive experience for all. Once you are accepted to Menlo, we will send you more detailed information and instructions regarding on-campus housing.
All unmarried students who are under the age of 21 before the start of a semester must reside on campus, unless they live with their parents or adult guardian within the vicinity of the college (defined as within 30 miles of the college). This policy does not apply to students with junior standing or those who have lived on campus for four semesters.
All international students must live on campus during their first year at Menlo. This will help you become more comfortable in the American educational system and student life at Menlo. However, international students with previous collegiate experience in the United States, or those who wish to reside with their parents in the immediate vicinity of the college, may petition the Office of Residential Life for a waiver of this requirement.
Students may not change from resident to day student status after July 15th for the Fall Semester or after December 1st for the Spring Semester—regardless of their eligibility to reside off-campus—without incurring a financial penalty. All requests for change of status must be made using the appropriate form available in the Office of Residential Life.
Resident Directors and Resident Assistants enforce all rules and regulations of the college. Students are expected to adhere to residence hall policies established in the interest of maintaining a pleasant, respectful and peaceful living atmosphere that is compatible with, and necessary for, a positive educational environment.
Policies are outlined in the Housing Application (Download PDF), as well as in the Student Handbook (which includes the Student Code of Conduct). Copies of the Housing Application are also available from the Office of Student Affairs.
A student who officially withdraws, changes residence status or who is otherwise removed from campus housing may be eligible for a refund. If you are eligible for a refund, the date that you officially check out of your residence hall room with a staff member is the date that will be used to calculate residence fee refunds.
Room and board fees will be prorated through the 20th class day of occupancy. Room and board is a combined fee, not separated for billing purposes. There is no refund beyond the 20th class day during a semester. For additional information, please see Tuition and Fees.
In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Menlo College is committed to providing students with reasonable accommodation for well documented disability. Individuals who are seeking disability accommodations within the residence halls are encouraged to indicate this intention in their Housing Application. Additionally, please submit the following information to the Acting Disabilities Coordinator as soon as possible:
This information should be mailed to the following address:
ATT: Acting Disabilities Coordinator
Still have questions? Please contact the Office of Residential Life.

Collegeboxes.com, owned by U-Haul International, Inc., will store student's belongings, including odd-sized items as well as boxed items, in their nearby, secure, climate-controlled facility and will transport them to and from campus as part of the service fee.

You should also add to the article that Mandriva Linux 2008 was released with RandR applet for KDE. More info here.
Phoronix: A Newbie's Guide To RandR 1.2
Recently there has been much talk about RandR 1.2 support with RadeonHD and Nouveau (among other drivers), and as a result we have been asked many times now "what is RandR, and why do I care?" Well, RandR is the "Resize and Rotate" extension in X.Org and the v1.2 update introduces new functionality such as dynamic hot-plugging support for display devices. To help those who may be new to Linux or just never took advantage of this X.Org technology, we have written a brief guide with some of the RandR basics.
You should also add to the article that Mandriva Linux 2008 was released with RandR applet for KDE. More info here.
Thank you phoronix!
Still being fairly new to Linux (ubuntu in particular, I started with 7.04) I once again realised the CLI is of far more use than any GUI workaround. grandr kept crashing on my system but everything works fine with xrandr. This report is just what I needed!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the article! I've been searching for a primer on xrandr for quite some time now.
However, I wonder if I can make any use of xrandr's display switching features when using the ATI fglrx-Driver.
It is possible to create virtual resolution with xrandr?
For example: Screen size is 1600x1200 but on monitor it is displayed 1024x768 and I can move screen with mouse...
Great article...
oh there is one little typo in the second paragraph it says "RandR stands for Reside and Rotate"
Yes. with an xorg.conf file, a line goes in the "Display" subsection of the "Screen" section. I'm not sure if this is possible with the CLI, or what the syntax would be.
Here's a sample xorg.conf file for the radeon driver under Fedora 8.
Right now the naming of display outputs and the recognition of particular RandR lines in xorg.conf varies slightly between the various drivers. I hope there is some convergence on this in the future.

I feel so stupid. I thought my IBM Thinkpad could use 800x600
(see bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=456955 )
but I can't manage it anymore. All I get is younger users laughing at me.
$ xrandr --fb 800x600
xrandr: specified screen 800x600 not large enough for output LVDS (1024x768+0+0)
does that mean that no matter even if one day I am told what to put in
xorg.conf, I will never be able to get less that 1024x768?

Paul Reiser as a weekend warrior of the comedy circuit?
After 20 years, the comedian, actor, author and musician has returned to stand-up comedy and will bring his act to Grass Valley Saturday with comedian and Grass Valley resident Steve Hytner.
The Los Angeles-based Reiser said he decided to return to his roots in stand-up this past year and told his agent to "throw the net out … whoever wants me, I'll go."
Reiser performs mainly on weekends, in Cleveland, Palm Desert and soon at The Center for the Arts in Grass Valley.
"I'm having fun," Reiser said of the stand-up gigs. "It's exactly as hard and rewarding as it used to be."
A stand-up act at a charity event reminded Reiser how gratifying it feels to be on stage with an audience, he said.
"It's just you and nice people gathered in one room. … It's as low-tech as you can get," Reiser said, adding that for him, it's "embarrassingly fun." Although Reiser got his start doing stand-up, he is widely known for his starring role alongside Helen Hunt on the long-running NBC series "Mad About You," which he also co-created and co-produced. He also wrote the sitcom's theme song, "The Final Frontier."
Besides his acting and his comedy Reiser is an accomplished musician. His most recent music project, "Unusual Suspects," is an album of original songs he wrote with celebrated British singer/songwriter Julia Fordham. Reiser arranged and played piano for the album.
Reiser's written works include "Familyhood," "Babyhood" and, his first book, "Couplehood," which sold more than 2 million copies and reached the No. 1 spot on The New York Times bestseller list.
The TV shows and books grew out of his stand-up comedy, Reiser said. Now it is coming full circle with a stand-up act that showcases fresh new material.
"Now I have a relationship with the audience. If you come to see me, you get the chance to see who I really am," he added.
His material still focuses on family and relationships, but it is a new act because, as Reiser points out, it's a continuing conversation. It changes because life changes. Reiser simultaneously describes his own marriage of nearly 25 years as "terrifically happily married" and still hard work.
"For me, I find that honesty is the best way to go. Most of my material is autobiographical with slight comic exaggerations," he said. "When you talk about something that is real and true to you it will invariably be true and ring a bell for someone else."
Big laughs in small town
Unlike Reiser, Steve Hytner has spent his career enmeshed in the stand-up realm. But like his friend and fellow comedian, Hytner, too, is more famously known for his role on a TV sitcom, playing Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up comedy competition Kenny Bania on the immensely popular "Seinfeld."
"I've been doing this 30 years, but it's still the 800-pound gorilla," Hytner said of Bania, pointing out that at this very moment, an episode of "Seinfeld" is on TV.
Hytner has also starred as a series regular on seven TV shows and has been a guest repeatedly on more than 50 others. He has appeared in 25 films and is considered one of America's most recognized character actors. A sampling of his work includes: "Hung", "Mike and Molly", "Two and a Half Men," "Curb your Enthusiasm," "CSI," "CSI New York," "Boston Legal," "Friends," "Roswell," and "King of Queens."
While Hytner still works on TV shows — he currently has a recurring role as a principal on the ABC comedy "Family Tools" — his focus now is on his son, Jack. Hytner moved to Grass Valley to spend more time with his young son after weekend visits just weren't enough, he said.
"I like Grass Valley as a place for Jack to grow up," Hytner said of life in the Sierra foothills.
"So far, so good. It's been a year and a half and I'm getting away with it," he said of the transition from Southern California.
Hytner has adapted his career to keep him closer to home. That includes on-camera work, stand-up and voice overs.
"I'm really kind of focusing on stuff that allows me to be around Jack," Hytner said. "And you know, he's worth it."
Saturday will be the first time Hytner has performed in his newly adopted hometown. He and Reiser became friends when they worked together on "The Marrying Man" movie. When he learned Reiser was performing at The Center for the Arts, he took the opportunity to once again join his friend. Hytner will perform for 20-30 minutes before handing the mic off to Reiser.
Tickets are still available for Saturday's performance. It is $40 for members and $45 for non-members. The performance is part of The Center for the Arts Comedy Series presented in cooperation with Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital's "Laughter is the Best Medicine" program.

Benedict XVI favored handmade red shoes. What will Pope Francis wear? / Johannes Eisele, AFP/Getty Images
Pope Benedict XVI will soon be the world's first prelate to be known as "His Holiness Benedict XVI, Roman pontiff emeritus."
Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi announced Tuesday that after the 8 p.m. close of business at the Vatican Thursday, Benedict loses his Swiss Guard (they're only for the acting pope) and gives up his papal ring (it will be smashed).
He keeps the white cassock but bye-bye to fashionista's favorite touch, the red shoes.
Instead, Benedict will shift to a pair of brown shoes he was given on the 2012 papal visit to Mexico, according to the National Catholic Reporter.
More than 50,000 tickets have been requested for his final general audience in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday. Thursday, he meets with cardinals and civil dignitaries.
Then, just three hours before the end of the papacy, Benedict will take a helicopter off to Castel Gandolfo, the papal retreat outside Rome, where he will greet the public.
The retired archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, who is going to Rome for Thursday's farewell but is too old to vote in the conclave, said Tuesday that the cardinals will meet for eight to 10 days of advisory talks before they begin the conclave.
That information went out on a tweet from a London Catholic paper, The Tablet. But there will be no tweeting from the Sistine Chapel. "Conclave" means "to lock with a key" and the cardinals will be sealed off from social media once they enter.

Whether we are 5 or 50, we can be faced with the question of "what do I want to do when I grow up?" We usually have a better sense of what we don't want than where we might fit. But using the techniques of vocational astrology, you can gain insight into your unique areas of opportunity.
About a third of our lives are spent working. What most of us want is not just a job, but something that can utilize our talents and bring us satisfaction. The seeds of our personality, proclivities, likes and dislikes can be found in the natal chart. Using vocational analysis, you can discover whether being your own boss is a good option, what types of work are most satisfying, and what issues you may encounter in your work environment.
When it comes to choosing a career, knowing your strengths as well as weaknesses gives you a leg up in today's competitive environment. Please join Faye Cossar and Judith Holloway this fall for a 10-week in-depth course that shows you how vocational astrology can help you and your clients discover your passion.
Instructor: Kate Petty
Course is 5 weeks
Prerequisite: basic astrology including use of transits, solar arc directions, and secondary progressions
This is a practical, hands-on course designed for astrologers who would like to incorporate some basic symmetrical techniques into their practice. Each student will work with two charts throughout the course: their own or someone close to them, and that of a public figure. Students will be expected to apply each covered technique to their two chosen charts each week. A portion of each live online session will be interactive, as methods are applied and findings uncovered and shared by students. This is primarily an experiential course and will include the introduction of several visual tools including dials, midpoint trees, and arc openings. There will be weekly assignments. The course is offered on either a pass/fail or audit basis.
Primary Instructors: Kelley Surtees and Georgia Stathis
Either W112 or W113 may be taken to complete the certificate for Moving the Chart in Time. In addition, W112 may be taken as an elective for the certificate diploma; Pre-requisite: W110 (and preferably W111) or Challenge
You may have worked with transits, progressions, directions or other methods of moving the chart in time, but still find it difficult to synthesize all the different factors or choose the right tool to answer a specific question, this course will help.
Students will receive guided practice in learning how to analyze the chart, select an appropriate method for the issue at hand, identify key factors, help your clients understand life events and potentials for action and growth.
Instructor: Gary Christen
This course builds on the work done in E510 and E511. By the end of the course, students will not only understand how to implement the principles and techniques of Symmetrical Astrology, but be able to evaluate, select and apply specific principles as needed to help a client or answer a question with regard to chart interpretation, moving the chart in time and space, and forecasting.
Requirements: This is an advanced-level course. Students need a strong grounding in basic astrological symbolism and natal interpretation, and the principles of Symmetrical Astrology and its applied use in interpretation. E511 or equivalent required.

Major Section: NOTE-2-7
Francisco J. Martin-Mateos emailed us a soundness bug (!) in our handling of
functional instantiation (for example see functional-instantiation-example).
We are grateful for that email, which clearly illustrated the problem.
It is included just below the definition of push-clause
in ACL2 source file
, where we have fixed the bug. This bug was fixed in a
re-release of Version 2.6 in February, 2002.
Rob Sumners emailed us a soundness bug (!) in function commutative-p1
which is used by the ACL2 bdd package. We are grateful for his help;
his email gave a proof of nil and also pointed to the problem function.
This bug was fixed in a re-release of Version 2.6 in February, 2002.
We discovered and fixed a soundness bug illustrated by the book below, which
was certifiable in Version 2.6 and ends in a proof of nil
. The event
(verify-guards foo)
should have been rejected, because foo
calls a
function whose guards have not been verified, namely, bar
. However, ACL2
did not notice the call of function bar
in the body of foo
because it
was looking in the simplified (normalized) body of foo
rather than in the
original body of foo
. During processing of the book below, the logical
definition of zp
is used before (verify-guards foo)
, and (zp -3)
reduces to t
in the logic. After (verify-guards foo)
simplifies (foo -3)
by going into raw Lisp, where (zp -3)
evaluated and reduces to nil
(in-package "ACL2") (defun bar (x) (zp x)) (defthm zp-false-on-negatives (implies (< x 0) (bar x)) :rule-classes :type-prescription) (defun foo (x) (declare (xargs :guard (rationalp x) :verify-guards nil)) (if (< x 0) (if (bar x) 0 1) ; simplified body reduces this line to 0 17)) (defthm foo-of-minus-3-is-0 (equal (foo -3) 0) :rule-classes nil) (verify-guards foo) (defthm foo-of-minus-3-is-1 (equal (foo -3) 1) :rule-classes nil) (defthm bug nil :rule-classes nil :hints (("Goal" :use (foo-of-minus-3-is-0 foo-of-minus-3-is-1))))The above bug exploited the fact that
has a different definition in
raw Lisp than in the logic for arguments that violate its guard). The
following example caused a hard error in raw Lisp, though not a soundness
(in-package "ACL2") (defun bar (x) (cons (car x) (car x))) (defun foo (x) (declare (xargs :guard t :verify-guards nil)) (if (bar x) x nil)) (verify-guards foo) (defthm bug (equal (foo 3) t) :rule-classes nil)We have made a minor change to the notion of the formula of a function symbol, related to the change above, which however is unlikely to be noticeable.
In order to make it harder to hit problems like the guard problem above, we
have slighly modified the raw Lisp definition of zp
A break-rewrite
command, :ancestors
, was broken, but has been
fixed. Thanks to Eric Smith for bringing the problem to our attention, and
to Robert Krug for supplying the final part of the fix.
Some proof-checker commands caused errors when all goals have already been proved. This has been fixed. Thanks to Matt Wilding for reporting this bug.
Fixed a bug in :
. When compiling uncompiled functions with
very large definitions, ACL2 was inserted a backslash (\
) character into
generated files.
Fixed the :type-alist
command (see brr-commands), whose
output was difficult to read when typed after an :eval
Fixed some clumsy handling of errors when including an uncertified book, for
example, with the error message when including an uncertified book with a bad
event. Thanks to Eric Smith for pointing out this problem.
Two modifications to certify-book
now cause it to reflect natural
expectations with respect to soundness. First, it now has default values of
instead of t
for keyword arguments :skip-proofs-okp
. Thanks to Robert Krug for suggesting this change and the
ACL2 seminar at the University of Texas for discussing it. Second, when
(respectively, :defaxioms-okp
) is nil
, either
explicitly or by default, then skip-proofs
commands (respectively,
events) are disallowed inside any included books, regardless
of the keyword parameters passed to include-book
. This had not been
the case for previous versions of ACL2, regardless of the values of
or :defaxioms-okp
passed to include-book
Improved warnings and errors for certify-book
and include-book
mention the portcullis as a possible source of skip-proofs
ACL2 formerly caused an error when hints in a :
not well-formed. This situation could arise as follows when certifying a
book. A lemma FOO is proved LOCAL
ly to the book (or, is present in a
sub-book that is included locally). The :corollary
of a subsequent
theorem, BAR, disables that rule in a hint. When BAR is proved, this is not
a problem. But certify-book
makes a second pass after processing the
events in a book: it essentially does an include-book
. During the
pass, FOO is not known (because it was local
), and
therefore ACL2 fails to process the disable
of FOO in an
hint. The fix is that during include-book
, hints
are ignored in corollaries just as they have been for the main theorem (or
It was possible for guard verification to succeed where it should have
failed. We have fixed the bug (which was in source function (ironically
named!) fcons-term-smart
). Thanks to Robert Krug for sending us an
example of bungled guard verification. It turns out that this bug was also
present in Version_2.6.
The proof-checker command =
has been improved. Formerly, it could
fail to apply when certain implies
terms were in the context. Thanks
to Pete Manolios for bringing this problem to our attention.
The command add-binop
failed to work. This has been fixed. Thanks to
Rob Sumners for pointing out this problem. Also see note-2-7-other for a
discussion of how this and another table are no longer part of the
Book certification could cause a segmentation fault in cases where the certification world (see certify-book) has a very large number of events. This has been fixed.
We now allow empty :use
hints and empty hints, as requested by Eric
Smith. Examples:
("Goal" :use ()) ("Goal")
A large mutual-recursion
nest could cause a stack overflow when
executing either :pr FN
, :pr! FN
, or :monitor (:definition FN) t
where FN
is in that large mutual recursion nest. This has been fixed
(implementation detail: function actual-props
has been made
tail-recursive). NOTE: If you just want the definition of FN
can be much faster than :
if FN
is in a large mutual-recursion
Hard Lisp errors could occur when including uncertified books. This has been fixed; ACL2 now does syntax-checking formerly omitted when including uncertified books.
Previously, the evaluation of defstobj
and mutual-recursion
could cause ``undefined'' warnings when the form was compiled. This has been
fixed. Thanks to Eric Smith for bring a mutual-recursion
example to our
A bug has been fixed in the syntactic check for valid :
values. Formerly, valid :loop-stopper
values were erroneously restricted
to lists of length at most 2 (a minor problem, since these lists typically
have length 1), and the function symbol(s) need not have been defined in the
current ACL2 world. Thanks to Eric Smith for sending an example to
demonstrate the latter problem.
Functions definitions that are :non-executable
(see xargs) had never
been recognized as redundant, but this has been fixed. Thanks to Vernon
Austel for pointing out this problem.
Compilation using :
now compiles user-defined
mode functions. Formerly only :
functions could be compiled using :comp
Handling of :by
hints has been improved in essentially three ways. The
primary change is that now, when the current goal exactly matches the
supplied lemma instance, the subsumption test will always succeeds
(see hints, in particular the discussion of :by
). Second, certain proof
failures involving :by
hints were failing silently, with duplicate
messages ``As indicated by the hint, this goal is subsumed by....'' This
could happen when the original goal was among the goals generated by applying
the hint. This problem has been fixed by no longer considering this proof
step to be specious (see specious-simplification). Third and finally, when
the lemma-instance refers to a definition, the original body of that
definition is used rather than the simplfied (``normalized'') body.
In addition to the obove, we now recognize more cases of specious simplification (see specious-simplification). Thanks to Eric Smith for bringing this issue to our attention.
Fixed building of ACL2 under CLISP so that (1) the appropriate ACL2 startup message is printed out when ACL2 starts up, and (2) the lisp process supplied to make, e.g., LISP=/usr/bin/clisp, is the one written out to the saved ACL2 file. Thanks to Dave Greve and Noah Friedman for suggesting (2). Also, ACL2 now works with CLISP 2.30. We have accommodated a change in CLISP's handling of streams and its package-locking mechanism, as well as certain non-standard characters that formerly could cause CLISP 2.30 to break, even when those characters are in comments.
Eliminated compiler warnings for CMU Lisp.
Fixed an incorrect error supplied when book certification proceeded so
quickly that the file write dates of the book (.lisp
file) and the
corresponding compiled file are equal. Now that error only occurs if the
compiled file has a strictly earlier write date, which probably should never
Fixed an infinite loop when executing make clean-books
(and hence
with targets that call clean-books
, namely,
, regression-fresh
, and
), which could occur when any subdirectories of
are missing -- even workshops/
, which is intended to be
optional. Thanks to Pete Manolios for pointing out this bug.
The include-book
command now works properly even when filenames, or
their directories or parent directories (etc.) are links. Thanks to Matt
Wilding for pointing out this problem.
The commands :
have been fixed. Formerly,
there was a bug when :puff
or :puff*
caused the execution of an
for an absolute pathname, P
, that was other than
the current connected book directory (see cbd). When including P
, any
subsidiary include-book
with a relative pathname would be erroneously
considered relative to the current cbd
rather than relative to the
directory of P
. Thanks to Pete Manolios and Matt Wilding for pointing
out this problem.
It had been possible in a ``large'' ACL2 image to call
successfully on built-in function sys-call
with undesirable results. This hole has been plugged. Thanks to Rob Sumners
for pointing out this problem. The new function gc$
must also stay in
ACL2 no longer warns when certifying a book based on local
whose guards have not yet been verified. Thanks to Pete Manolios for
pointing out this issue.
An occasional ``slow array warning'' had been possible during proofs. The following sequence shows how to evoke that warning in previous versions.
(in-theory (disable binary-append)) (in-theory (enable binary-append)) (in-theory (disable binary-append)) (ubt 2) (thm (equal (car (cons x y)) x))(See note-2-7-other for a discussion of a change to
support of this fix; however, users should not need to read that discussion.)
The raw Lisp code for defchoose
had a small bug, which was only
evidenced in CLISP implementations as far as we know. It has been fixed.
When ld
is applied to a stringp file name, it now temporarily sets the
connected book directory (see cbd) to the directory of that file while
evaluating forms in that file. To see the effect of this change, imagine a
subdirectory "sub"
of the current directory, and imagine executing
(ld "sub/foo.lisp")
, where file foo.lisp
contains the form
(include-book "bar")
. Presumably the intention was to consider the
file bar.lisp
in the same directory, sub/
, as foo.lisp
. Ld
now honors that intention, but in previous versions "bar.lisp"
have been a reference to a file in the current directory, not in sub/
For users of run-acl2
[perhaps there are none!]: A fix has been provided
by a Debian user via Camm Maguire so that acl2-mode anyone using that?] will
work in Xemacs, which apparently uses variable lisp-mode-shared-map
than shared-lisp-mode-map
ACL2 has, for a long time (always?), had a mechanism for avoiding re-proving
constraints generated by :functional-instance
in :use
and :by
hints. But this mechanism had not applied to defined
(as opposed to constrained) functions. This has been fixed. Thanks to
Francisco J. Martin-Mateos (ChesKo) for pointing out this problem by sending
a clear example.
