While producing our investigative podcast "Who Is Rich Blee?", intended to be released on Sunday, our team managed to deduce the likely identities of two CIA employees at the heart of a notorious failure in the run up to the September 11th tragedy.
Savvy internet searches based on minimal background details helped us determine candidates for the two CIA employees. When the names were used by our interviewers repeatedly during interviews and never corrected by the interviewees, we began to feel more certain. Ironically, it was the response from CIA that provided final confirmation.
On Thursday, we submitted our script to CIA along with a request to interview the two employees. We wanted to be fair in giving them a chance to tell their sides of the story. Instead, the Agency sent us a message threatening that if we went forward with the names included in the piece that it would be a potential violation of federal criminal law.
A prominent civil liberties attorney has advised us that the law cited, the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, has never been used to convict a journalist. The law pertains to government employees who violate their security clearances, certainly not those who find "classified information" in open-source materials posted on the Net.
The threat of prosecution under this act may be a baseless attempt by CIA to intimidate journalists exposing wrongdoing by their employees. Or it may announce an intention by the U.S. government to dangerously expand precedent in the application… Continue reading

A former FBI agent has told the BBC that he is being prevented from telling the truth about the events of 9/11 and what has happened since.
Ali Soufan alleges that crucial intelligence was not passed on from the CIA before the attacks in 2001.
He has written a book detailing some of his claims and has been speaking to the BBC's Security Correspondent Gordon Corera in his first on camera interview on the subject.
In response to the allegations in this report the CIA issued a statement to the BBC that said: "Any suggestion that the CIA purposely refused to share critical lead information on the 9/11 plots with the FBI is baseless."
"The suggestion that the Central Intelligence Agency has requested redactions on this publication because it does not like the content is ridiculous."
The CIA decline to comment on the record about the accusations regarding waterboarding and interrogation.
Unofficial transcript of video, "Former FBI Agent says truth of 9/11 remains hidden" :
Gordon Corera: Stepping out of the shadows, appearing for the first time on camera, Ali Soufan, the former FBI agent with an eyewitness account some people don't want him to tell.
Ali Soufan: They are trying to stop me and others from telling the world what really happened over there.
Gordon Corera: He believes huge mistakes were made with devastating consequences. Born in Lebanon, Soufan had… Continue reading
Comment from Janice Matthews
Regarding video, "9/11: A Conspiracy Theory," described as "Everything you ever wanted to know about the 9/11 conspiracy theory in under 5 minutes."
Bravo! Kudos! Congratulations!! Thanks to independent journalist James Corbett for producing this outstanding video, now complete with transcript linking key facts to evidence. Really … go to The Corbett Report, take five minutes and watch this.
James has also posted the video at YouTube, which is embedded below. I highly recommend you go straight to the source, however, for the video with valuable transcript and links.
Former minister says group was prepared to see bin Laden put on trial prior to 9/11, but US was not interested.
The Taliban government in Afghanistan offered to present Osama bin Laden for a trial long before the attacks of September 11, 2001, but the US government showed no interest, according to a senior aide to the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar.
View the 30 second video at the end of this article: from Feb. 2001 White House Press Conference
Wakil Ahmad Muttawakil, Taliban's last foreign minister, told Al Jazeera in an exclusive interview that his government had made several proposals to the United States to present the al-Qaeda leader, considered the mastermind of the 2001 attacks, for trial for his involvement in plots targeting US facilities during the 1990s.
"Even before the [9/11] attacks, our Islamic Emirate had tried through various proposals to resolve the Osama issue. One such proposal was to set up a three-nation court, or something under the supervision of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference [OIC]," Muttawakil said.
"But the US showed no interest in it. They kept demanding we hand him over, but we had no relations with the US, no agreement of any sort. They did not recognise our government."
The US did not recognise the Taliban government and had no direct diplomatic relations with the group which controlled most of Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001.
But proposals by the Taliban were relayed to the US through indirect channels such as the US embassy in Pakistan or the informal Taliban office for the UN in New York, Muttawakil said.…

The former co-chair of a Congressional inquiry after the September 11, 2001
attacks called on the U.S. government to reopen its investigation following
a news report linking the hijackers to a Saudi Arabian couple who lived in Florida.
Former U.S. Senator Bob Graham said he has no reason to doubt the news report,
which said the Saudi Arabian couple abruptly abandoned their luxury home in
Sarasota two weeks before the attacks, leaving behind a full refrigerator, clothes,
furnishings and a new car in the driveway.
The report was published by BrowardBulldog.org., a nonprofit Internet news
site and was simultaneously published on the news website of the Miami Herald.
If true, it reveals another Saudi terrorism connection that was never disclosed
by the FBI to the public or to the 2002 joint Congressional intelligence committee
investigating the attacks, said Graham, who was co-chair of the committee.
The FBI office in Tampa issued a statement on Monday saying the Sarasota case
was one of many leads that "were resolved and determined not to be related
to any threat nor connected to the 9/11 plot."
Graham called the Sarasota case "eerily similar" to the FBI's failure
to tell the intelligence committee about a former Saudi civil servant, Omar
al-Bayoumi, who supported two hijackers while they were living in San Diego.
Graham said an investigator for his committee independently unearthed the information
about al-Bayoumi.
"Why did the U.S. government go to such lengths to cover up the Saudi
involvement?" Graham said.…

In the US on September 11, 2011, the tenth anniversary of 9/11, politicians and their presstitute media presented Americans with "A Day of Remembrance," a propaganda exercise that hardened the 9/11 lies into dogma. Meanwhile, in Toronto, Canada, at Ryerson University the four-day International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001, came to a close at 5pm.
During the four days of hearings, distinguished scientists and scholars and professional architects and engineers presented the results of years of their independent research into all aspects of 9/11 to a distinguished panel consisting of the honorary president of the Italian Supreme Court who was an investigative judge who presided over terrorism cases and three distinguished scholars of high renown and judgment. The distinguished panel's task is to produce a report with their judgment of the evidence presented by the expert witnesses.
The Toronto Hearings were streamed live over the Internet. I was able to watch many of the presentations over the four days. I was impressed that the extremely high level of intelligence and scientific competence of the witnesses was matched by a high level of integrity, a quality rare in US politics and totally absent in the American media.
As I stressed in my recent interview about 9/11 with Jim Corbett and Global Research, I am a reporter, not an independent researcher into 9/11. I pay attention when the fact-based community finds problems with the official propaganda. Perhaps this reflects my age. My… Continue reading
A congresswoman demanded details be revealed to the public about FBI
investigation into Saudi family with ties to hijackers in Sarasota.
By Dan Christensen
Special to The Miami Herald
A decade after the FBI found ties between a Saudi family living quietly near Sarasota and the 9/11 hijackers, a Florida Democratic congresswoman is calling on the House Intelligence Committee to investigate whether agents revealed their findings to Congress.
Kathy Castor said she was troubled over reports that federal agents discovered a luxury home where the family was living was visited by vehicles used by the hijackers and phone calls were linked between the home and the terrorists, but Congress was not told of the discovery.
The family abruptly left the home less than two weeks before the attacks, leaving a new car in the driveway, a refrigerator stuffed with food, toys in the pool — and an open safe in the master bedroom, according to administrators at the development.
"One of the great criticisms of the pre-9/11 intelligence operations," Castor wrote in her letter on Monday to the committee's two senior members, "was the lack of cooperation and information sharing among agencies."
The dispute over what Congress knew about the case emerged last week after The Miami Herald reported about the little known FBI investigation at the upscale development on Florida's west coast.
Former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, the Florida Democrat who chaired the congressional Joint Inquiry into the deadly hijackings, said he was never told about the case, while… Continue reading
HistoryCommons.org has been offline the last few days, including the Complete 9/11 Timeline, as we reported early morning 9/11 as part of our story about the CIA threatening the "9/11: Press for Truth" filmmakers. It is a relief to report this morning that the site is once again available.
If you have not been aware or taken advantage of this astounding research tool, or participated in the development of this "experiment in open-content civic journalism," I encourage you to do so. The 32 individual timelines hosted at HistoryCommons offer an astounding wealth of information drawn from the media on subjects such as the events on 9/11, it's environmental effects, anthrax, Iraq war, neocon influences on US politics, George W. Bush's treatment of American troops, electoral politics, and much more.
Students often write to me asking where and how to start researching on some aspect of 9/11 or related matter for class projects and research papers; HistoryCommons.org is where I tell them to start. Not only is the information presented in a comprehensible manner, every single entry is thoroughly sourced. I challenge anyone to review what's at HistoryCommons.org and maintain their belief that people asking questions are lunatics or morons.
Thank you, Paul Thompson and all of you who dedicate your time, voluntarily, to civic journalism and assembling this incredibly valuable historical record. I know our posterity will thank you, as well. Welcome back!

30+ 9/11 Truth Hit Pieces In 2 Weeks
For the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attack, the mainstream media has offered
an unprecedented level of apparent bias against reasonable people invested in
justice for the victims of 9/11. The majority of articles below imply that "truthers"
are driven by a fear of chaos and uncertainty to draw comfort from misdirected
rage. Most of the articles make sweeping generalization about those involved
while others are outright insulting.
9/11 Truth Hit Piece #1 — CNN World
"Conspiracy theories are for losers"
The Author: Dr. Joseph Parent and Dr. Joseph Uscinski
The Setup: "The world is awash in conspiracy theories. ["9/11 "truther"
beliefs"] […] The "birther" conspiracy theorists […]
Obama is a secret Muslim intent on instituting Sharia Law […] the president
blew up the Deepwater Horizon […] Osama bin Laden is not dead […]
the Holocaust never happened […] the world is run by the Council on Foreign
Relations, the Freemasons or the Federal Reserve. The list sprawls on."
The Premise: "When Republicans are in power, right-leaning villains such
as big business dominate conspiracy theorizing. When Democrats are in power,
left-leaning villains such as socialists become the top peril."
Misdirection: "Although conspiracy theories have anti-democratic aspects, in
this respect they are very fair: All of us get to play the villain eventually."
9/11 Truth Hit Piece #2 — AFP
"9/11 conspiracy theories thrive 10 years on"
The Author: Sebastian Smith
The Setup: "Defying countless official and non-governmental enquiries,
media reporting, and often common sense, a significant number of people fervently
disbelieve that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda sent 19 hijackers to execute
the September 11, 2001 massacre.…

9/11 remains one of the most misunderstood events in modern history. The first myth is that it came out of the blue on an unsuspecting America. In fact it is known that 11 countries provided advance warnings to the US about the 9/11 attacks, including Russia and Israel which sent 2 senior Mossad experts to Washington in August 2001 with a list of terrorist suspects that included 4 of the 9/11 hijackers, none of whom was arrested. Moussaoui, now thought to be the 20th hijacker, was arrested in August 2001 after an instructor reported he showed a suspicious interest in learning how to steer large airliners, and Newsweek later revealed (20 May 2002) that an agent had written that month that Moussaoui might be planning to crash into the Twin Towers. Richard Clarke, counter-terrorism chief in the White House, has since said that "50 CIA personnel knew that al-Hamzi and al-Mihdhar (2 of the hijackers) were in the US in July-August 2001, including the Director", but never passed the information to the FBI. And the former US federal crimes prosecutor, John Loftus, has stated that "the information provided by European intelligence services prior to 9/11 was so extensive that it is no longer possible for either the CIA or FBI to assert a defence of incompetence".
Second, 9/11 is portrayed as acts of unprovoked aggression perpetrated without cause other than wilful violence. In fact Osama bin Laden repeatedly demanded in the 1990s… Continue reading

On this sad anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in post-war history I am reminded of the prophetic words spoken by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address to the nation in 1961: "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
Eisenhower was the supreme commander in western Europe who had led America to victory against one of the most evil regimes in history, a man who had witnessed the depths of human depravity, and wanted finally to warn us that the war machine which had been created to defend freedom in WWII could equally be used for the opposite purpose, and that it was up to the American people to guard against this possibility.
Eisenhower coined the phrase "military industrial complex" which became the catch-cry of the anti-war movement of the 1960s, describing an economic and political fusion of power involving armaments manufacturers, construction companies, banks, democratic governments and puppet dictatorships.
As Marine Major General Smedley Butler put it, War is a Racket. In his seminal book on the subject Butler declares, "I spent 33 years in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a… Continue reading

On Thursday, September 8, 2011, the CIA issued legal threats against producers Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy on their discovery of the identities of the two key CIA analysts who executed the Tenet-Black-Blee cover-up in the case of two key 9/11 hijackers. The analysts were referred to only by first names initially, but were going to be fully named in a follow up segment.
Nowosielski and Duffy are working with legal advisors and we will have more on this soon. Meanwhile you can listen to our recent exclusive interview with the producers and their discovery here at Boiling Frogs Post:
Podcast Show #55: The Boiling Frogs Presents Ray Nowosielski & John Duffy (see link below)
Also, here are related interviews with Paul Thompson based on the expose by the two producers: Part 1 & Part 2. (also at story below)
The producers' website was taken down yesterday. We are in touch with them, and we will keep you informed. Please disseminate this stunning new development, the CIA's panic, and the content of their interview. Thank You.

Although the story of the CIA's actions in the run-up to 9/11 is complicated, at a fairly early point in any examination of them it becomes clear the agency committed multiple failures, and that these failures enabled the attacks to go forward. The key issue that remains in dispute ten years on is whether these "failures" were deliberate or simply the product of overwork and incompetence. Making an informed judgment means taking the time to look at all the failures, put them in order, and analyze what it all means.
Perhaps the most comprehensible problem is the scope of the CIA's failings. There was not one error by some lowly neophyte, but a massive string of failures. As Tom Wilshire, one of the key CIA officials involved in the withholding of the information commented to the Congressional Inquiry, "[E]very place that something could have gone wrong in this over a year and a half, it went wrong. All the processes that had been put in place, all the safeguards, everything else, they failed at every possible opportunity. Nothing went right."
In addition, some of the failures were extremely serious. For example, the alleged failure by Alec Station, the CIA's bin Laden unit, to inform CIA Director George Tenet that Flight 77 hijacker Khalid Almihdhar was in the country in August 2001 is simply beyond comprehension. Added to this, the failures were committed by a small group of intelligence officers, centered on Wilshire and his… Continue reading

Filmmakers Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy join us to discuss their extensive research, interviews and findings which have resulted in the unmasking of three former top CIA officials- George Tenet, Cofer Black and Richard Blee- and their role in withholding intelligence on two key 9/11 hijackers and subsequent cover-ups. Duffy and Nowosielski provide us with a detailed account of their new interview with former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke and his allegations against the CIA officials- Tenet, Black and Blee — accusing them of knowingly withholding intelligence from the White House, the FBI, Immigration and the State and Defense Departments. They discuss two key CIA analysts who were instrumental in this cover up, a joint statement issued by the three accused… Continue reading

In These Times
This weekend, the public will mourn a site of loss, recasting the painful memories and haunting fears that still hover over the aftermath at Ground Zero. But the people who worked and breathed that tragedy in the days and months following September 11 won't be at the primary commemoration ceremony for the families of victims. The Mayor's decision to limit the attendees by excluding the 9/11 first responders is an unnerving metaphor for an unhealed scar of 9/11. Many of the rescue and recovery workers who labored at Ground Zero have been plagued by a metastasizing medical crisis, aggravated by chronic political failure.
This week, 9/11 firefighters and police chiefs rallied to demand changes to the rules governing compensation for health problems tied to poisonous air and debris at Ground Zero. They want federal funds to support treatment for cancer, which is currently omitted from the primary legislation covering Ground Zero-related medical needs. For years, researchers have been uncovering fresh evidence of widespread and devastating illnesses afflicting a large portion of people exposed to the aftermath; ongoing health issues range from crippling lung and breathing problems to post-traumatic stress disorder. But adequate funding for 9/11 workers has often been ensnared in political gridlock, not to mention the general incompetence of the healthcare system.
The UK Guardian reports that new research could trump politicians' concerns over potential cancer liabilities:
Cancer treatment has… Continue reading

Senior Pentagon officials scrubbed key details about a top-secret military intelligence unit's efforts in tracking Osama bin Laden and suspected al-Qaeda terrorists from official reports they prepared for a Congressional committee probing the 9/11 terrorist attacks, new documents obtained by Truthout reveal.
Moreover, in what appears to be an attempt to cover up the military unit's intelligence work, a September 2008 Defense Department (DoD) Inspector General's (IG) report that probed complaints lodged by the former deputy chief of the military unit in question, the Asymmetrical Threats Division of Joint Forces Intelligence Command (JFIC), also known as DO5, about the crucial information withheld from Congress, claimed "the tracking of Usama Bin Ladin did not fall within JFIC's mission."
But the IG's assertion is untrue, according to the documents obtained by Truthout, undercutting the official narrative about who knew what and when in the months leading up to 9/11.
Much of JFIC's work on al-Qaeda and Bin Laden remains shrouded in secrecy and has not been cited in media reports revolving around pre-9/11 intelligence, which has focused heavily over the past decade on CIA and FBI "intelligence failures." Only a few details about the military intelligence unit have surfaced since then, notably in two previous reports published recently by Truthout.
JFIC was the intelligence component of United States Joint Forces Command (JFCOM). In 2005, it was renamed the Joint Intelligence Command for Intelligence. Last month, JFCOM was shuttered, reportedly due to Pentagon budget cuts,… Continue reading

Photo credit: Benjamin Norman for The New York Times. A meeting of people at a cafe in Greenwich Village on Thursday night of people who have alternate views of what happened
on 9/11.
"No bullhorning during the memorial."
That's always been the rule of thumb among "truther" demonstrators
at ground zero on Sept. 11, out of respect for relatives of victims of the terror
attack, said Mike Skuthan, 32, a Web designer from Long Island who attends the
demonstrations every year.
But after this Sunday's memorial, Mr. Skuthan said, the bullhorns and
signs will again be brought out and the groups will walk from one location to
another in Manhattan chanting their message and engaging passers-by to help
them call for a new investigation into the attacks.
"You have the usual chants — '9-11 Truth Ends Wars,'
or 'Two planes, three buildings,' " Mr. Skuthan said. "The
popular one this year will probably be, 'Ten years, no justice.'
Members of the so-called 9-11 Truth movement range from extreme conspiracy
theorists who believe that the Bush administration engineered the attacks to
consolidate power, roll back civil liberties and help oil mogul friends. But
then there are more moderate factions that simply insist that top government
officials know more about the attacks than they have acknowledged, and then
used then used the attacks as a pretext for invading Iraq. A large percentage
of activists outline — often in great detail… Continue reading

IMO, it's a positive sign that the GNOME fellows are going for better quality regarding their vision of an fancy 3D accelerated desktop (similarly to Unity).
Users who like the traditional efficient interface (a taskbar allowing to switch to any application anytime with a single click) have great options like lxde and xfce.
They are truly mature desktop environments:
- very stable due to multiple years of bugfixes
- customizable
- efficient resource usage (memory footprint, gpu)
- proven desktop model for the Desktop user
Those who like the fancy and shiny new stuff should go Unity, GNOME and they pay certain price in terms of perhaps more bugs and certain resource requirements (e.g. GPU).
There's enough goodness left for those who stick with the more traditional UI.

Solar City Tower with 'urban waterfall' proposed for 2016 Rio Olympics
Article Summary
Aside from the events that take place as part of the Olympics, it seems the competition is also on for each Games to become "greener" than those that have gone before. This year's Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver boasted a variety of green initiatives, including Canada's biggest "living roof." London looks set to outdo Vancouver in 2012, but Rio is looking to up the ante again and be the first zero-carbon footprint games when it hosts the Summer Olympics in 2016. To help the city achieve this goal Swiss-based RAFAA Architecture and Design has proposed a Solar City Tower which features an eye-catching energy-generating waterfall.

This technique gathers a great volume of Iron Sand and compresses it into a high-density shape. This greatly increases the hardness, creating a gigantic steel-like weapon in an instant. The weight and size of these shapes are so great, they can easily shatter bedrock and break through most defences with one hit.
Because the weapon is made out of Iron Sand, the shape can be whatever the user wants, and can even be changed during the fight. This allows the user to create the best weapon for the fight, by taking into account the opponent's abilities and the surrounding environment. Since the Iron Sand generates a strong magnetic field, the opponent cannot use any metal weapons or tools.
Two shapes have been shown:
- The Giant Spear (巨大槍, Kyodaisō): by forming the Iron Sand into a triangular, spindle-shaped object (much like a pyramid) and tapering it into a sharp point at one end, the user creates a giant spear, which can extend rapidly to pierce an opponent or spin like a giant top.
- The Giant Hammer (巨大鉄槌, Kyodai Tettsui): by forming the Iron Sand into a large rectangular shape, the area of contact is increased greatly, creating a giant, hard-to-evade hammer.

I am so keen to see these guys live. Who's with me ?
I am so keen to see these guys live. Who's with me ?
I agree, but when & where can I see them???
No, don't, don't cut my hair, Ned loves my hair.
They put on such a great show, hoping for no tough conflicts b/c I'd love to see them again.
I used to like beach house a lot more. My opinion now is that they are an above average but not great indie band. Bloom is overrated. They are good but not great live.
That's my 2 cents.
They did not wow me in '10. I can always listen to 10 mile, though.
St.Vincent-Florence-BrandNew-Desaparecidos-OFF-ChicanoBatman-MØ-NightTerrorsOf1927-Drake... nah, just kidding, Fuck Drake
wow... didnt realize Bloom is their 4th album. Saw them in '10 and it was pretty good.
still prob my favorite jam, though i should go and listen to those first two albums.
Coachella 07 (the introduction), 08 (the bands), 09 (the documentary), 10 (the people i came with), 11 (the relationship test... we passed), 12 (whatever the weather, Dirty Epic forever), 13 (the year of the troll)
"Lazuli" is THE Coachella song
I'ma ball at the mall shuttin' down the sea wall
This will be the 4th time I've seen them live. Love them. Victoria Legrand is an angel.
Would love to see them play a late night show. I think they're going to get a very large crowd.
Will be my fifth time seeing them, I'm completely entranced by their live performances.
can't wait
Coach 06,07,08,09,10,11,12,13.1,14.1
Sasquatch 12
Lolla 11(Chile)
Street Scene 07,08,09
Rock the Bells 07
This has to be the most boring band in indie rock right now. And I like some pretty boring shit.
I would *like* to like them. I'll stay open minded, but...damn.
1 Coachella before I got sober, 7 since. I support both versions. If you wanna do the sober version, roll with us:
Click Soberchella 2013 for meeting details
I missed them in 2010, but won't miss them this time. I have Bloom on constant repeat in my car right now. Love it!
Sunset Outdoor please.
Sunset Outdoor would be great, but so would a nighttime set. Their lights from last tour were a great compliment to the whole atmosphere.
The Treasure Island show during sunset with a pink sky was really amazing, that needs to happen at Coachella.
They were great at the El Rey last year, I look forward to seeing them again barring any major conflicts.
2005, 2007, 2011, 2012 W1, 2012 W2, 2013 W1, 2013 W2, 2014 W1, 2014 W2 and 2015 W1 & 2015 W2!!
saw them at Primavera Sound during sunset and it was perfect, very atmospheric vibes
Yeah good sunset band for taking a break / sit on the ground .
I watched these last week. I quite like them on record but live they are so boring.
Her head bangin turns me on. Hope they play on the sea.

Holga's iPhone case features a vintage rotating wheel with lens filters
The Holga iPhone Lens Filter is an iPhone 4/4S case featuring a rotating wheel containing camera lens filters
Article Summary

Mildred Cohn, the first female president of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the first woman appointed to the Journal of Biological Chemistry editorial board, passed away on Oct. 12 at age 96. Information on Cohn's life and pioneering work in nuclear magnetic resonance can be found in an article, titled "Mildred Cohn: Isotopic and Spectroscopic Trailblazer," in the September 2009 issue of ASBMB Today. Below are reflections by her friends and colleagues.
Mildred Cohn was one of the great figures of 20th century biochemistry/biophysics. She influenced several generations of scientists with her brilliant use of physical methods to probe the structures and functions of proteins. She was also one of my scientific heroes. She wasn't very tall, but if, as Robert Browning said, the best way to measure someone is by the length of the shadow that his or her mind casts, then Mildred Cohn was a giant.
Gregory A. Petsko Gyula and Katica Tauber professor of biochemistry and chemistry Brandeis University
Mildred didn't have very many graduate students, and I was her last. It was 1976. Mildred distinctly told me that I could do a rotation but that she was no longer taking students. A fellowship allowed me to persist, and, one or two papers later, she officially accepted me as her student. At first, I was intimidated and couldn't bring myself to call her "Mildred" like everyone else did. She was only slightly younger than my grandmother, and it just didn't seem right to call someone of her generation by his or her first name!
When Mildred was elected the first female president of the American Society of Biological Chemists (now ASBMB), I don't recall there being any great fuss about that honor in the lab. She did, however, include me in the presidential festivities at the annual meeting. While I was a student, Mildred also was honored in a fete thrown by members of the chemistry department at Penn.
But it is not the honors that stand out. Mostly, I recall the extreme pleasure of spending hours in her long, narrow and windowless office bouncing around ideas about methods and mechanisms. Mildred's questions were piercing, and it was quite an education to learn to expect them. She was a fabulous mentor. By example, she taught both scientific integrity and generosity. Mildred also insisted that I earn first authorship on our papers by writing them myself.
Later, in my role as a student, I also got the pleasure of house-sitting for Mildred and Henry in Penn Valley. There, I came to appreciate that in her professional life she was Mildred Cohn, but in her personal life was Mildred Primakoff. In fact, when editing our papers, she would sometimes call my writing girlish, meaning not succinct, and sign her comments "MCP." It was an era when "male chauvinist pig" was a common phrase, and Mrs. Primakoff enjoyed the irony of her initials!

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress

How to not be a tourist: AKA: ten things I learned in London today Jun 02, 2013
Wandering around London, alone, amidst crowds of families, strangers, losers, businessmen and lepers, I learnt a bit about how to fit in. The irony of that last sentence is that I've never quite learnt how to fit in at home. But here, lost in the crowds bumping shoulders with thousands of strangers, I find a way to quietly assimilate to the expectations of local society. Let me 'splain. 1. Don't carry around a paper map. Instead, hunt and peck on the map on your phone. You'll look just like the local texting his or her mate to meet up for drinks later. Only tourists use a paper map. 2. Purchase your souvenirs at the end of the day, not at the start. Nothing shouts tourist like carrying around a bag full of "I LOVE LONDON bracelets" and "My mom...

Many many years ago, in a small, reasonably priced apartment in Bellingham, my before-husband told me a story from his childhood about decision making. He played basketball at the church league up the street from his house during his Elementary and Jr. High years. Being a somewhat shy kid, he never had the confidence on the court that could allow him to succeed among other sweaty 10 year olds. The pressure of the ball being tossed at him was sometimes too much and he'd freeze, or just take off running like Forest Gump, forgetting all main facets of the game; namely that you have to bounce the ball whilst running and throw it at a high hoop thingy. I don't know the details of the rules, really. I wasn't there. His dad used to coach the team and would watch incredulously... Read moreTraveling Mom May 16, 2013
I'm sitting in a cafe in Manchester, UK. It's familiar, this cafe. The music, the people, the coffee. I think this is the key to traveling… everything at one point becomes familiar, even if only because we're sitting on the same globe under the same sky. My family rings me daily, the video turning morning in to silly faces and kisses from across the pond. I marvel at the technology compared to my first trip to the UK in 2001 when I punched in a 400 digit number to reach a calling card and the country code and finally the home phone in hopes to reach my husband. Now I wake the children up on video phone, ala Jeston's like, rousing sleeping heads just before my dinner time. I've been asked "how do you do it? How can you travel and leave your...

I was counting the railroad tiles out the window when my facilitator read, "Is often prone to daydreaming…" Yes, I thought, my daughter does that! I take a note to remember that frequent daydreaming is a sign of ADHD. I fidget and look at the clock. How LONG is this meeting? It's been 45 minutes already. My foot bounces at the end of my leg, a habit that irritates nearly every office mate I've ever had. I swirl my foot in circles and take more notes. "Fidgeting, constant moving, even in adults…" Impulsivity, forgetfulness, distractibility. If I hadn't been diagnosed a year and a half ago, this might come as a shock. Today, though, I sit, fidgeting, for nearly TWO HOURS (mygod two hours!) in my first Adult ADHD Women's Support... Read more

Tea Party organizes in Indian Valley
Alicia Knadler
Indian Valley Editor
Those who are interested in the grass-roots move to take back the country might like to attend the Tea Party organizational meeting for Indian Valley area Wednesday, Oct 20. The meeting will be at 6 p.m., in room 5 of the old Main Street School, located across from the Greenville Post Office.
The non-partisan group is an offshoot of the Almanor Basin Tea Party, where there will be another meeting Tuesday, Oct. 26, at 6 p.m., in the Chester Veterans Memorial Hall.
The hall is located on Gay Street, behind Maria Walker's Restaurant.
There will also be November meetings in both towns.
The focus of the group is information sharing, and not to endorse a particular candidate. Since elections are imminent, much of the information shared at the next meetings will be about the propositions.
For more information about the Indian Valley group, those interested may call Linda Hampton at 530-284-6975.

On Wednesday, the site announced that users will be able to download their entire personal Twitter archive. That includes their tweets and retweets, and there will be tools to let users search them by date, keywords, hashtags or @usernames.
"You make Twitter what it is. And if you tweet, you may have found yourself wanting to go back in time and explore your past Tweets," Mollie Vandor of Twitter's engineering team wrote in a blog post. "Maybe you wanted to recall your reaction to the 2008 election, reminisce on what you said to your partner on your 10th anniversary or just see your first few Tweets."
According to Twitter, a small percentage of users who have their language set to English have already gotten the tool. It will be rolling out to all users over the coming weeks and months, according to the blog post.
To look for the archive tool, go to Settings and scroll to the bottom. If the feature is enabled, users will have the option to request their archive there.
Users will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to access the archive once it's been downloaded.
The archive tool was a result of one of Twitter's quarterly "Hack Weeks," during which employees take breaks from their regular jobs to work on new and innovative projects of their choosing.

Jirōchō Wasabi (ワサビ次郎長, Wasabi Jirōchō) is the head of the Wasabi family in the Land of Tea, which is a clan warring with the nearby Wagarashi family.
He is depicted as kind, sympathetic, and honest, in contrast to the Wagarashi family's leader, Kyūroku Wagarashi, who is very dishonest and manipulative. He apparently took in Idate Morino after finding him on the streets. While Idate was racing, he expressed great faith in Idate, even to the extent of betting his own life.
Jirōchō has grey shaggy hair and light black-coloured eyes.
Part I
Search for Tsunade Arc
Jirōchō is first shown to be an old friend of Tsunade, helping her in telling the loan sharks Senta and Bunzō that Tsunade's debt to the Akagi Gang was paid.
Land of Tea Arc
Presumably as a sign of his unwavering friendship to Tsunade and after learning of her appointment as Hokage, he commissioned a mission for her from the Land of Tea which Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura took. He is shown as the head of the Wasabi family and his clan had to run against the Wagarashi family to show who gets to run the Land of Tea for the next four years. As shown at the beginning of the race, Jirōchō had complete faith in Idate even though it seemed as if he was running away. After Idate won the race, Jirōchō was very proud of him.

VATICAN CITY â?? The too-short cassock should have been a giveaway.
A man tried to sneak into secret talks Monday that are being held by the Catholic cardinals who will select the next pope.
Wearing a makeshift bishop costume, he arrived at the Vatican with an entourage of fake clerics, even posing for photos with a real cardinal.
He then made it past at least one level of security before being stopped outside the Sistine Chapel.
The impostor was identified by Italian news agency ANSA as Ralph Napierski. He is a German who said he is part of a non-existent Catholic institution called Corpus Dei (a play on "Opus Dei," a real Catholic group). His attempted infiltration prompted the Vatican to hold discussions on improving security that already includes sweeping the Sistine Chapel for listening devices.
Napierski was wearing a too-short cassock, a black fedora in place of a clergy's skull cap and a bright purple-pink sash that turned out to be a simple winter scarf. He was accompanied by a small entourage of fake priest assistants, according to some Italian news reports.
Napierski milled around the area outside the meetings for half an hour with no problems. He told onlookers his name was Basilius and that he was a bishop in the Italian Orthodox Church, which does not exist.
At one point he posed for a photo with Italian Cardinal Sergio Sebastiani, president emeritus of the Vatican's Prefecture for Economic Affairs.
Napierski was stopped by security before he was able to enter the auditorium hosting the meetings. It is not clear what his intentions were in trying to enter the meetings.
This is not the first time bogus clergy tried to enter an important church function. Just last year, a small group of fake bishops reportedly entered the beatification mass for John Paul II.
According to Robert Mickens, a veteran correspondent for The Tablet, the U.K.-based Catholic newspaper, it's not surprising this kind of attempt happens from time to time.
"The church is very hierarchical, and so it can be quite awkward for security personnel to stop a senior cleric and ask to see his badge," Mickens said.
Father Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, would not comment on Napierski's alleged attempt to enter the congregations. "All I can say is that everyone seated for the congregation is a real cardinal," he said.

The four North Dakota Game and Fish Department district advisory board meetings scheduled for tonight and tomorrow have been postponed.
The meeting in Belfield is rescheduled for Monday, April 22; Esmond and Watford City are rescheduled for Tuesday, April 23; and Fordville is rescheduled for Wednesday, April 24.
Increases in North Dakota hunting, fishing and boat registration fees recently passed by the state legislature will not take effect until 2014.
Terry Steinwand, director of the State Game and Fish Department, said the current three-year boat registration cycle runs through December, and 2013-14 hunting and fishing licenses are in effect through next March. Therefore, registration fees for boat owners will go up Jan. 1, 2014, while hunters and anglers will see the license increase in April, 2014.
North Dakota's paddlefish snagging season opens May 1 and is scheduled to continue through the end of the month. However, depending on the overall harvest, an early in-season closure may occur with a 36-hour notice issued by the state Game and Fish Department.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is prohibiting all open burning, including campfires, until further notice on the Oahe Wildlife Management Area along both sides of the Missouri River.
Even though the area recently received some much-needed moisture, wildlife resource management supervisor Bill Haase said this heavily wooded recreation area is still prone to wildfires prior to spring green-up.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's annual bighorn sheep survey revealed a minimum of 297 bighorn sheep in western North Dakota. The 2012 count was second highest on record and 5 percent above last year's survey.
In total, biologists counted 87 rams, 156 ewes and a record 54 lambs. Not included are approximately 30 bighorn sheep in the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
Big game biologist Brett Wiedmann said the northern badlands population was the highest on record, but the southern badlands herds declined slightly.
The next guide and outfitter written examination is May 11 at 1 p.m. at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department office in Bismarck. The test is given periodically to anyone interested in becoming a hunting guide or outfitter in the state.
In addition to passing a written exam, qualifications for becoming a guide include a background check for criminal and game and fish violations; certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and standard first aid; and employment by or contract with a licensed hunting outfitter.
North Dakota's spring turkey season opens Saturday, April 13 and continues through May 19.
Hunters are reminded a 2013-14 hunting license is required, as last year's 2012-13 licenses expired March 31. In addition to the spring turkey license, hunters must have a fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate, and a general game and habitat license. Also, hunters ages 16 and older must possess a small game license, or combination license.
All spring turkey licenses for 2013 have been issued.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department advisory board meeting for District 3 is scheduled April 15 at the Fire Hall in Esmond. District 3 includes Benson, Cavalier, Eddy, Ramsey, Rolette and Towner counties.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m., and is hosted by the Buffalo Lake Wildlife Club. At 6 p.m., Game and Fish along with other conservation partners, will hold an informational session for landowners interested in qualifying land for the Conservation Reserve Program general signup May 20-June 14. A short formal presentation will begin at 6:30.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department invites landowners interested in qualifying land for the next Conservation Reserve Program general signup to attend an informational session held prior to the upcoming district advisory board meetings.
Eight district advisory board meetings are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. the week of April 15-18. At 6 p.m. before each meeting, Game and Fish along with other conservation partners, will discuss options with producers to enroll land for the CRP general signup May 20-June 14. A short formal presentation will begin at 6:30.
The State Game and Fish Department invites all North Dakota schools participating in the National Archery in the Schools Program to register for the annual state tournament. The 2013 tournament is April 12-13 at the VFW Sports Center in Bismarck.
North Dakota's 2013 bighorn sheep auction license sold for a record $75,000 at the March 23 Midwest Chapter of the Wild Sheep Foundation annual meeting in Bloomington, Minn. The previous high of $50,000 was set in 2007.
In addition, a 5 percent conservation fee for all auction licenses generated an additional $3,750 from the sale of North Dakota's license.
North Dakota's auction license allows the winning bidder the rare privilege of pursuing a North Dakota bighorn on a self-guided hunt.
Outdoor enthusiasts are invited to attend a North Dakota Game and Fish Department advisory board meeting in their area.
These public meetings, held each spring and fall, provide citizens with an opportunity to discuss fish and wildlife issues and ask questions of their district advisors and agency personnel.

The goal of our camps is to provide the best water polo experience we can for your child. For this reason we limit the size of the camps and insure that our staff has a high level of experience. The Princeton water polo program has won the Eastern Championship three times in the past four years, twice with the men and once with the women. Both programs are continuously ranked in the top 20 annually. Head coach Luis Nicolao has been named coach of the year on numerous occasions, has played and coached at the National level and has coached 16 collegiate All-Americans. Assistant Coach Derek Ellingson brings a tremendous amount of experience as well, he played on every level and coached high school to Club to College. He was the head coach of Queens College before Princeton where he coached two Olympians. Volunteer Coach Momir Ivetic played club water polo in his home country of Serbia and in Russia he also played college water polo for St. Francis college and years of international playing experience. The Princeton staff along with current collegiate players, other college coaches and some of the top high school coaches in the country will insure that your child has a memorable experience at camp. Some of the schools that have been represented in the past with either a coach or a current player are: Harvard, GW, Iona, Wagner, Bucknell, Hawaii, Villanova, LMU, Stanford to just name a few.
The Elite Camp is for the serious athlete who has aspirations to play at the college level. Campers will be divided based on age and experience level to ensure each individual is able to train and compete against the appropriate level of competition. Morning sessions will focus on individual skill development, while afternoon and evening sessions will focus on team tactics and team play. Campers will receive high level instruction at every skill or game station from a coach who understands what it takes to play at the college level. Sessions will be intense and designed to push each camper past their comfort zone in order to improve their overall play. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from some of the best coaches from across the country while playing the sport that you love.
All camps and clinics will be held on the Princeton University campus, one of the most beautiful and historic campuses in the world. The Winter Clinic and Elite Camps will be held in DeNunzio Pool, Princeton's indoor, Olympic-sized swimming facility.
Campers attending the Elite Camps will reside in Princeton University dormitories and dine in one of the school's dining halls. All dormitories will have adult supervision with a minimum of a 10:1 camper to counselor ratio plus a Health Director.
**Camp dorms do not have air conditioning. We recommend you bring a fan with you to camp.**
Princeton University reserves the right to cancel, postpone or reschedule any camp or clinic because of low enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances. In the unfortunate case a camp or clinic is canceled, Princeton University will issue a full refund of the fees paid. Princeton University cannot be held responsible for any related costs, charges or expenses, including but not limited to; cancellation/change fees assessed by airlines, hotels, car services or travel agencies.

Looking for Waterproof Cameras?
Start shoppingVideo: Canon PowerShot D20 waterproof camera
Canon PowerShot D20 waterproof camera
Zak: I'm here at Massanutten waterpark in Virginia today having some fun with the Canon D20 PowerShot waterproof camera. So this is another one of those cameras you can take underwater, you can drop it from, you know, a reasonable distance, and it'll take some punishment. It's a great one to bring to the beach or obviously a place like this water park. It's got built-in GPS if you want to tag your photos that way.
It's got an interesting design, too. You can see here it looks like a shark took a bite out of the end of it. I thought that was weird at first, but then I started holding the camera and my finger just did this automatically so somebody must have thought of that.
Anyway, it was a lot of fun to use and we got fantastic underwater pictures with it. And it shoots full High Def movies. It's got a dedicated button right here on the back so no matter what you're doing, you can punch that button and start shooting a High Def movie. You can even slow it down and do a slow motion movie, which I really like to do when you've got your kid coming down a waterslide or a wave is about to hit him or something's gonna happen. It's fun to have that.
Anyway, it's a go everywhere camera that you can bring on the ski slopes, to the beach, take it surfing with you, mountain biking, whatever you like to do. And you'll have a ton of fun with it. So if you have any questions about the PowerShot D20, or weatherproof cameras in general, just give us a call.

MSDE began a four-year cycle approach to monitoring and evaluating the quality of service-learning implementation in the local school systems. In year one of the cycle, systems submit their detailed, written service-learning implementation plans to the MSDE. A panel of stakeholders (students, teachers, administrators, community based organization representatives, MSDE and other government agency staff, etc.) review the documents and provide feedback to the local superintendents on the strengths of the program and potential areas of challenge. In years 2-4, each system receives a Quality Review on site visit by MSDE staff. The three Quality Review rubrics are used during the visit and a report highlighting strengths, challenges, and suggested next steps is sent to the local superintendent.
Quality Reviews are an opportunity to gain knowledge about service-learning programs and learn from one another about strategies and activities that work well. The Maryland State Department of Education is always delighted to uncover effective approaches to service-learning and share those around the state as models for strengthening programs.
The one day visit will involve:
1) A meeting with central office staff responsible for oversight of the service-learning program and any key staff that plays a role in program implementation (e.g. various content area specialists, etc.). This meeting usually lasts one to two hours.
2) Visits to preferably two schools that are representative of your service-learning program's scope (e.g. one middle school and one high school, or an elementary school and middle school, etc.). The school visit involves a meeting with school leadership for service-learning and then an opportunity to meet with teachers and students who have engaged in service-learning projects. Each visit usually lasts one to two hours. Please choose schools that we have not visited on previous Quality Review visits, if your system is large enough to accommodate that request.
NEW -- This cycle of reviews, we are asking local school systems to conduct a self assessment using the three Quality Review rubrics before the actual visit. Those completed rubrics should be presented to reviewers when they arrive on the visit day. Below are the three Quality Review rubrics.
In addition, if your school system is receiving Learn and Serve America funding, the Quality Review visit will act as an on-site visit for that program. We ask that you have relevant documentation of grant status, particular regarding the budget, available when we meet.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores, student academic growth, and college readiness. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as "Above Average" and the lowest "Below Average." It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.
Rating Breakdown
Test score rating | 1 |
The test score rating examines how students at this school performed on standardized tests compared with other schools in the state. This rating is based on 2012-13 NJ ASK, HSPA, and/or NJBCT results from the New Jersey Department of Education. | |
College readiness rating | 3 |
The college readiness rating combines this high school's graduation rates with data about college entrance exams, both of which are indicators of how well schools are preparing students for success in college and beyond. This rating is based on composite SAT scores, ACT/SAT participation, and four-year adjusted graduation rates from 2012-13. |

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Examples of Terms: (cond ((caar x) (cons t x)) (t 0)) ; an untranslated term(if (car (car x)) (cons 't x) '0) ; a translated term
(car (cons x y) 'nil v) ; a pseudo-term
In traditional first-order predicate calculus a ``term'' is a syntactic entity denoting some object in the universe of individuals. Often, for example, the syntactic characterization of a term is that it is either a variable symbol or the application of a function symbol to the appropriate number of argument terms. Traditionally, ``atomic formulas'' are built from terms with predicate symbols such as ``equal'' and ``member;'' ``formulas'' are then built from atomic formulas with propositional ``operators'' like ``not,'' ``and,'' and ``implies.'' Theorems are formulas. Theorems are ``valid'' in the sense that the value of a theorem is true, in any model of the axioms and under all possible assignments of individuals to variables.
However, in ACL2, terms are used in place of both atomic formulas
and formulas. ACL2 does not have predicate symbols or propositional
operators as distinguished syntactic entities. The ACL2 universe of
individuals includes a ``true'' object (denoted by t
) and a
``false'' object (denoted by nil
), predicates and propositional
operators are functions that return these objects. Theorems in ACL2
are terms and the ``validity'' of a term means that, under no
assignment to the variables does the term evaluate to nil
We use the word ``term'' in ACL2 in three distinct senses. We will speak of ``translated'' terms, ``untranslated'' terms, and ``pseudo-'' terms.
Translated Terms: The Strict Sense and Internal Form
In its most strict sense, a ``term'' is either a legal variable
symbol, a quoted constant, or the application of an n-ary function
symbol or closed lambda
expression to a true list of n terms.
The legal variable symbols are symbols other than t
or nil
which are not in the keyword package, do not start with ampersand,
do not start and end with asterisks, and if in the main Lisp
package, do not violate an appropriate restriction (see name).
Quoted constants are expressions of the form (quote x)
, where x
any ACL2 object. Such expressions may also be written 'x
Closed lambda
expressions are expressions of the form
(lambda (v1 ... vn) body)
where the vi
are distinct legal
variable symbols, body
is a term, and the only free variables in
are among the vi
The function termp
, which takes two arguments, an alleged term x
a logical world w
(see world), recognizes terms of a given
extension of the logic. Termp
is defined in :
Its definition may be inspected with :
for a complete
specification of what we mean by ``term'' in the most strict sense.
Most ACL2 term-processing functions deal with terms in this strict
sense and use termp
as a guard. That is, the ``internal form''
of a term satisfies termp
, the strict sense of the word ``term.''
Untranslated Terms: What the User Types
While terms in the strict sense are easy to explore (because their structure is so regular and simple) they can be cumbersome to type. Thus, ACL2 supports a more sugary syntax that includes uses of macros and constant symbols. Very roughly speaking, macros are functions that produce terms as their results. Constants are symbols that are associated with quoted objects. Terms in this sugary syntax are ``translated'' to terms in the strict sense; the sugary syntax is more often called ``untranslated.'' Roughly speaking, translation just implements macroexpansion, the replacement of constant symbols by their quoted values, and the checking of all the rules governing the strict sense of ``term.''
More precisely, macro symbols are as described in the documentation
for defmacro
. A macro, mac
, can be thought of as a function,
, from ACL2 objects to an ACL2 object to be treated as an
untranslated term. For example, caar
is defined as a macro symbol;
the associated macro function maps the object x
into the object
(car (car x))
. A macro form is a ``call'' of a macro symbol,
i.e., a list whose car
is the macro symbol and whose cdr
is an
arbitrary true list of objects, used as a term. Macroexpansion is
the process of replacing in an untranslated term every occurrence of
a macro form by the result of applying the macro function to the
appropriate arguments. The ``appropriate'' arguments are determined
by the exact form of the definition of the macro; macros support
positional, keyword, optional and other kinds of arguments.
See defmacro.
In addition to macroexpansion and constant symbol dereferencing,
translation implements the mapping of let
and let*
forms into
applications of lambda
expressions and closes lambda
containing free variables. Thus, the translation of
(let ((x (1+ i))) (cons x k))can be seen as a two-step process that first produces
((lambda (x) (cons x k)) (1+ i))and then
((lambda (x k) (cons x k)) (1+ i) k) .Observe that the body of the
and of the first lambda
expression contains a free k
which is finally bound and passed
into the second lambda
When we say, of an event-level function such as defun
or defthm
that some argument ``must be a term'' we mean an untranslated term.
The event functions translate their term-like arguments.
To better understand the mapping between untranslated terms and
translated terms it is convenient to use the keyword command :
to see examples of translations. See trans and also
see trans1.
Finally, we note that the theorem prover prints terms in
untranslated form. But there can be more than one correct untranslated
term corresponding to a given translated term. For example, the
translated term (if x y 'nil)
can be untranslated as (if x y nil)
and can also be untranslated as (and x y)
. The theorem prover
attempts to print an untranslated term that is as helpful to the
user as possible. In particular, consider a term of the form
(nth k st)
where st
is a single-threaded object
(see stobj) and the kth
accessor of st
is, say, kn
. The
theorem prover typically would expand (kn st)
to (nth k st)
. If
is large then it could be difficult for the user to make sense out
of a proof transcript that mentions the expanded term. Fortunately,
the untranslation of (nth k st)
would be (nth *kn* st)
; here
would be a constant (see defconst) added by the defstobj
event introducing st
, defined to have value k
. The user can
extend this user-friendly style of printing applications of nth
stobjs; see add-nth-alias. These remarks about printing
applications of function nth
extend naturally to function
. Moreover, the prover will attempt to treat terms as
stobjs for the above purpose when appropriate. For example, if
function foo
has signature ((foo * st) => (mv * * * st))
, where
is introduced with (defstobj st f0 f1)
, then the term
(nth '1 (mv-nth '3 (foo x st0)))
will be printed as
(nth *f1* (mv-nth 3 (foo x st0)))
Pseudo-Terms: A Common Guard for Metafunctions
Because termp
is defined in :
mode, it cannot be used
effectively in conjectures to be proved. Furthermore, from the
perspective of merely guarding a term processing function, termp
often checks more than is required. Finally, because termp
requires the logical world as one of its arguments it is impossible
to use termp
as a guard in places where the logical world is not
itself one of the arguments.
For these reasons we support the idea of ``pseudo-terms.'' A
pseudo-term is either a symbol (but not necessarily one having the
syntax of a legal variable symbol), a true list beginning with quote
(but not necessarily well-formed), or the ``application of'' a
symbol or pseudo lambda
expression to a true list of
pseudo-terms. A pseudo lambda
expression is an expression of the
form (lambda (v1 ... vn) body)
where the vi
are all symbols
and body
is a pseudo-term.
Pseudo-terms are recognized by the unary function pseudo-termp
. If
(termp x w)
is true, then (pseudo-termp x)
is true. However, if x
fails to be a (strict) term it may nevertheless still be a
pseudo-term. For example, (car a b)
is not a term, because car
applied to the wrong number of arguments, but it is a pseudo-term.
The structures recognized by pseudo-termp
can be recursively
explored with the same simplicity that terms can be. In particular,
if x
is not a variablep
or an fquotep
, then (ffn-symb x)
is the
function (symbol
or lambda
expression) and (fargs x)
is the list of
argument pseudo-terms. A metafunction may use pseudo-termp
as the
