ORLANDO, Fla. -- The kind of team the Orlando Magic eventually wind up becoming this season is a long way from being determined.
But after a summer of massive changes from top to bottom, for one night at least, all the uncertainty about the franchise's long-term future was an afterthought.
On this night, the Magic were plenty happy with what they have.
Buoyed by Glen Davis' 29 points and 10 rebounds, and J.J. Redick's 21 points off the bench, the Magic sprinted out to an early lead and held off the Denver Nuggets 102-89 on Friday night.
Danilo Gallinari led the Nuggets with 23 points, with Ty Lawson chipping in 12. But Denver struggled offensively for the second straight game, unable to dig out of a 20-point first-half hole.
"Amazing, to get our first win in this fashion," said Magic guard Arron Afflalo, who was traded to Orlando this summer as part of the Dwight Howard multi-team deal and finished with seven points against his former team. "Obviously Glen and J.J. stepped up, but it was just a real inspired team effort today."
Afterward, the team presented first-year coach Jacque Vaughn with the game ball to commemorate his first regular-season NBA victory.
Friday marked the Magic's season-opener and first one in eight seasons without Howard, who was traded this summer to Los Angeles Lakers.
"It's exciting man, there's been a lot of change around here," Afflalo said. "The expectations haven't been too high, so for us to get off to this type of start is a good feeling and we're gonna continue to take it one game at a time."
Vaughn thanked his team in the locker room before the game for working so hard to this point.
"It was a good feeling," Vaughn said afterward. "That's the progressive process that we're talking about, that it goes both ways. I'll give and tonight they gave as well."
Orlando did suffer a setback, though, with starting forward Hedo Turkoglu leaving the game in the third quarter with a broken left hand. Vaughn said he would be evaluated again Saturday.
The Nuggets dropped to 0-2 on their season-opening three-game road trip. Much like its opening loss at Philadelphia earlier this week, Denver struggled shooting the ball and was stymied by an early deficit.
"The first half we weren't very good at either end of the court," Denver coach George Karl said. "In Philly, we didn't make shots, but we played great defense and stayed in the game because of that. The second half I thought we played with a lot of energy, and then you get down 20 points, that energy runs out of gas a little bit."
Denver trimmed a 21-point first-half Magic lead to eight points late in the third quarter, but struggled in the fourth as their offensive sets stalled and the Magic were able to get some easy shots on their end.
Gallinari was also the only Denver player to consistently make it to the free-throw line, as Orlando's defense was able to contain the usually active Andre Iguodala, who was held to nine points on 3 of 10 shooting.
"This is just the beginning and we have some new guys on the team and the guys who were injured last year are now trying to get back in shape," Gallinari said. "We didn't do a good job, but I am sure tomorrow we are going to do better."
Meanwhile, Orlando had stretches of offensive crispness both in transition and in the half court, outscoring Denver 60-36 in the paint.
"I want to let everyone know I'm here," Davis said. "I'm here to seize the moment. I'm here to step in the gaps. It was a good night."
Injuries were a problem in the preseason with several Magic players missing part or the entire exhibition schedule with various ailments.
Turkoglu's injury means Vaughn will have to get creative to fill his slot in the starting lineup, with no true small forward healthy enough to immediately fill-in.
Rookie Maurice Harkless, who was acquired in the Howard deal, would seem to be the obvious candidate. But Vaughn said that he only recently was cleared for full-contact practice following sports hernia surgery and will need a few before he's ready for game action. He is currently day-to-day.
Afflalo, at 6-foot-5, is also an option and said he's willing to step into that role if needed.
"That's my brother from another mother, man," said point guard Jameer Nelson. "I've been with Turk so long. It's upsetting to see that. He'll be all right. He's a trooper and we'll pick him up."
Orlando led 58-37 at the break, sparked by Davis and Redick, who each had 15 first-half points.
Despite a roster dealing with several early-season injuries, Vaughn substituted liberally in the early going, playing nine different players.
The fresh legs helped the flow of the offense, with the Magic moving the ball well and getting assists on 16 of their 24 field goals for the half.
The Nuggets, who scored just 38 first-half points in their season-opener, managed only 37 in the opening 24 minutes on Friday.
Nelson said Friday's start was exactly what the Magic needed going forward.
"We're in this together," he said.
Game notes
North Carolina coach Roy Williams sat courtside Friday to support Vaughn, who is the first former Williams' player to become an NBA head coach. Vaughn played for Williams in college at Kansas. ... Orlando opened the season without backup big man Gustavo Ayon (sprained left thumb), swingman DeQuan Jones (strained hip muscle) and F Al Harrington (knee). ... Karl said C Timofey Mozgov (left knee strain) ran during shoot around on Friday, and could be ready for their home opener Tuesday against Detroit. ...The Magic improved to 15-9 all time in season openers.

Sale tries to close out Astros in series finale
Houston rookie Cosart on tap for rubber match at U.S. Cellular Field
When the White Sox conclude their series against the Astros on Wednesday night, Chris Sale will look to get back on track while Adam Dunn will simply try to keep doing what he has been doing.
Dunn went 0-for-4 on Tuesday, but he is hitting .294 with 17 home runs and 48 RBIs since June 8.
"I think there has been a progression to that," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Again, we are looking at teams starting to play a little more straight up than the big shift that everybody has done before. He can still hit homers like he did [Monday night]. I just think it makes him a bigger threat because he has the power to go the other way."
Sale is coming off a very rough outing against the Rangers in which he gave up eight earned runs, eight hits and four home runs in seven innings.
Sale did not give up an earned run in either of his two career starts against the Astros, but Houston is playing some of its best baseball of the season, despite Tuesday night's loss.
The Astros are 7-7 over their last 14 games and will hand the ball to Jarred Cosart for the series finale.
The rookie has a 1.60 ERA, which is the lowest by a starter through his first seven starts in franchise history.
"Just keep building on it," Cosart said. "I had a good bullpen the other day with [pitching coach Doug Brocail] and have been working on pretty much the same stuff since I got here. It's all about putting it together and being consistent."
Astros: Martinez optioned
To make room for Paul Clemens, who made his first Major League start on Tuesday, the Astros optioned David Martinez to Triple-A Oklahoma.
Martinez, a right-hander, recorded his first career win Monday. Over two outings, a span of 5 1/3 innings, Martinez allowed four runs (three earned).
"I was impressed with the fact he came into the game and didn't fare so well in the first inning and went back out and kept the game right there and gave the offense a chance to hit two big home runs and the bullpen chance to close it out late," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "He did a tremendous job, and I think we'll be seeing him back here when the Triple-A playoffs are over."
White Sox: Garcia's first start
Leury Garcia, the player to be named in the Alex Rios trade, made his first start as a member of the White Sox on Tuesday night.
Garcia played second base and batted ninth. On Wednesday, Ventura expects Garcia to start at shortstop.
"He feels comfortable playing in the outfield," Ventura said. "It's valuable to have a guy that versatile to be able to move him around the infield in case something happens."
Worth noting
• The Astros are 4-2 against the White Sox this season.
• Arizona Fall League rosters were released Tuesday. The White Sox have six prospects representing their organization, and the Astros have eight.

Hamlin has compression fracture in lower back
Tuesday - 3/26/2013, 5:34am EDT
AP Auto Racing Writer
Denny Hamlin suffered a compression fracture in his lower spine during a last-lap crash while racing for the win against former teammate Joey Logano, and Joe Gibbs Racing gave no indication Monday how long its driver could be sidelined.
"I just want to go home," Hamlin tweeted from a hospital in Southern California. He later posted a photo of himself giving a thumbs-up and appeared to be wearing a back brace.
The team said he had what is called an L1 compression fracture; essentially, the first vertebra in the lumbar section of his spine collapsed.
Hamlin was released from the hospital Monday night, and JGR said he'd return to North Carolina to be evaluated by Dr. Jerry Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates. A reporter from USA Today spoke to Hamlin outside the hospital and reported Hamlin, wearing a back brace, walked out on his own.
NASCAR does not race this weekend, but returns to action April 7 at Martinsville Speedway, where Hamlin, who is 10th in the Sprint Cup standings, is a four-time winner.
Hamlin was airlifted from the Fontana track after a collision with Logano sent him nearly head-on into the inside wall in a place where Auto Club Speedway does not have energy-absorbing SAFER barriers. There are barriers on the inside of some of the walls, but portions of the track between Turns 1 and 2 and Turns 3 and 4 are not protected.
Track spokesman David Talley said Monday the SAFER barriers are installed upon NASCAR's recommendation, and track officials will wait to see what, if anything, NASCAR recommends after Hamlin's accident.
"NASCAR is reviewing the incident and any improvements that can be made, will be made," Talley said. "If NASCAR feels that additional SAFER Barriers are needed, then we will absolutely make those enhancements. SAFER barrier recommendations are based on past history and this is a situation we, nor NASCAR has ever seen at this track before."
IndyCar last year returned to Auto Club Speedway for the first time since 2005 and the season finale is scheduled to be held at the track in October.
But the issue of the SAFER barriers and Hamlin's impact seemed to be overshadowed by the most recent flare-up in this new feud.
Logano managed to finish third despite wrecking into the outside wall after hitting Hamlin, who spun Logano last week at Bristol to spark a bitter post-race confrontation.
Because of the recent bickering between the former teammates, Logano was somewhat defiant after Sunday's accident.
"He probably shouldn't have done what he did last week, so that's what he gets," Logano said.
On Monday, Logano's car owner said the driver was unaware of Hamlin's condition when he made the comment during a television interview.
"That's a tough thing, Joey had no idea what the situation was with Denny when he was doing the interview," Roger Penske said. "It's one of those things that came out and taken out of context isn't what he meant. He can't take it back, but people are certainly blowing that up to mean something different than what he knew at the time."
Tony Stewart also got into a post-race shoving match with Logano, who aggressively blocked Stewart on a late restart. Stewart claimed Logano threw a water bottle at him when he approached, but crews separated the two before it turned into a full fight.
Stewart later railed against the 22-year-old Logano in several interviews and accused him of being "nothing but a little rich kid that's never had to work in his life."
Logano was 18 when he broke into NASCAR with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2008 with the nickname "Sliced Bread." He'd risen rapidly through the racing ranks with the financial backing from his father, Tom, who used funds from the family's Connecticut waste management company to help his two children pursue their dreams.
Logano had the means to pursue a racing career, and was in Georgia racing quarter midgets at the age of 6 while his older sister chased a life of competitive ice skating.
But Tom Logano's near-constant presence at the NASCAR races hurt Logano's reputation, and him angrily demanding his son go after Kevin Harvick after a 2010 incident at Pocono only made things worse.
On Monday, Patricia Driscoll, girlfriend of Kurt Busch, referred to Logano as (hash)TrustFundRacer in a series of tweets that accused him of reckless racing with "no less than 5 drivers."
"We were lucky that none of the others were hurt by his actions," Driscoll tweeted.

I think some of the first words out of my son's mouth were "fruit snacks!" My son easily goes through a box of fruit snacks a week…. or more (don't worry, I brush his teeth religiously). He can't get enough of them! I decided to give homemade fruit snacks a whirl and he loved them! I found a recipe using gelatin and thought they would come out a little bit like jello jigglers, but they are the texture of fruit snacks and don't need to be refrigerated! I used ice trays from the dollar store for my mold, but you can find jello molds at many dollar stores or WalMart.
Homemade Jello Fruit Snacks Recipe:
1 (3 oz) package gelatin, any flavor
2 (.25 oz) envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/3 c. water
Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour into molds and allow to set at least 20 minutes.

I was a juror that convicted Doug Grant; as after reading Paul Rubin�s article, �Hate For Doug Grant: Despite Scant Evidence That Grant Killed His Wife, the Jury Convicted Him Anyhow� I found it to be very uninformative with the deliberation process in how the jury concluded its verdict. As there were many emotional women on the jury panel, I do believe their opinions and feelings of Doug Grant played a role in the manner of murder which Doug Grant would be charger, yet Doug Grant was found guilty for manslaughter based on "RECKLESSNESS" in not aiding to Fayleen�s care the morning that she was found unresponsive (not dead) in the bathtub. Let me elaborate a little, Doug Grant never called 911 that morning, Doug Grant attempted to perform CPR on a bed (information provided by the defense counsel), Doug Grant called Chad White once finding Fayleen in the tub following with Chad White's call to 911 stating, "I believe that he (Doug Grant) wasn�t going to call 911... he�s (Doug Grant) said that�s he�s afraid and not sure why he would say something like that." Having said this, it was enough reason for me to find Doug Grant guilty for manslaughter under the terms of �RECKLESSNESS.�

Why do you not make anything more than a superficial attempt to interpret your own graphs? For instance, you say:
Unless we are seeing different graphs, that graph is all over the place, with a performance regression at 1600x900, but you make no mention of that.Lastly, with VDrift, which is the most demanding test in this article for running off LLVMpipe, the performance is up by an incredible 67%.
Would you try to make a better effort? Benchmarking sites that focus on Windows do a much better job on analysis. Here is one example:
Notice how the text analyzing the chart is actually reflective of its contents:
If you read through Anandtech's articles, you will see insightful comments about why things perform the way that they do. Their site is having some technical difficulties, so their SSD articles, which are the best examples of this, are offline, but just about all of their reviews on new things go into architectural details and why things perform the way that they do.Initially, the two SAN boxes deliver similar performance, with the Promise box at 2200 IOPS and the ZFS box at 2500 IOPS. The ZFS box with a L2ARC is able to magnify its performance by a factor of ten once the L2ARC is completely populated!
Why don't we see that here? Should the fact that this site focuses on Linux mean that a lower standard of benchmarking is acceptable? I find I can never rely on headlines or other statements here because they are not reflective of the actual benchmark results. I have to see the charts and even then, they are difficult to interpret given the paragraph format describing the test setup.

I currently have only one person editing my work, but in the last few months they've been pretty busy and I feel bad adding to the pile. I've stuck to the one-on-one basis for the ease of it, and I haven't had multiple critiques for some time. I admit I'm afraid of multiple crits because of the possible confusion it may cause me. I also haven't felt comfortable sharing anything online because of fear that someone would take my ideas, and write them better than I could. My writing, even though it could only be considered a hobby for lack of income, is a deep emotional investment to me. I'm afraid that it'll to out to be garbage to others reading it. I have sewn intricate ideas together trying to make something unique, and I'm afraid it'll fail to show the effort I've put in it. I read back a couple threads and saw a critique site mentioned, critters.org, and I was considering joining, but I'm not sure. I don't know what to do yet. Any advice? ~Angela
Critters.org may be a trifle to brutal if you're not yet used to critiques. I hear it's for, let's say, critique-hardened people. I do remember you posting excerpts way back. Am I mistaken? If not, what has changed? Bad experiences? You can reduce the number of people who can see your story if you use the new stories subforum - only logged-in members can see that. Ultimately, if you want feedback, someone will have to read your stuff. Finally, you can start a thread and ask for readers whom you mail the story. I do hope that's allowed, because I did that, heh.
If you're worried about story ideas being taken, just watch Avatar and tell me how valuable originality is. The value lies in the execution, not the high-concept. That said, I know how nerve-wracking it is to put stuff up for random internet yahoos to critique. Only you can decide if you want to do this. It's not for everyone. I put bits and bobs up in the absolutewrite.com forums and do a fair bit of critting there as well, and I've found it invaluable. You cannot be a wilting flower about your writing. You want to sell it and have people read it, don't you? You think editors, agents and the paying public wil be kinder than internet crit groups?
Crit groups are beginners ROFL. I have a wonderful one from an agent that rejected me. I often wonder what was so bad about the work that they were moved to scribble all over the first page listing my faults, rather than just send me the bog standard reject letter. As for crit groups http://sff.onlinewritingworkshop.com/ is good, but it is fee paying. Has a good track record, Elizabeth Bear and Scott Bakker have both been members at some point. You have to earn points to put up work. You do this by doing crits for other people, but you can't get away with I like/don't like type of crit, a lot more detailed and constructive crit is required . There is also a limit to how many sections you can put up at one time and word limits on the sections. Also you can not tell anyone your idea, and still find that someone is, or has is the past worked on a similar idea. Can't copyright ideas, but you can and do the moment you write it your way.
Yahoo Groups has quite a few writing groups in there - some huge, and some not so. Many of these groups go down to line-by-line editing, and it is all free. Of course, you will have to reciprocate in kind. There is, of course, the hassle that goes with finding the right group for you. My ideal group would be relatively small and include at least one professional writer in it. I'm not much for the cattle-car critique group approach. You can often get help from creative writing professors at local colleges. They tend to know where the groups are - and if you are really fortunate you can hook up with a local group for actual face-time. Kerry
BlueAngel, in all my honesty I have to tell you, I would never use any service or website with people who claim to be 'professional' critique-ers. As Holbrook said: The bottom line is this (as flows with my opinion): The best critiques you can ever receive for your written work are from reputable agents and editors from publishers. Why? because these are people who work in the business, and know what has the potential to sell. And yes, I said sell. Some people will say that quality of said work is more important than sales, but the truth of the matter is; if there is no potential to makes money, publishers won't care how 'touching' your book is. And if your debut novel is dreary in sales, everything short of washing the car and cleaning the house of the Acquisitions Editor will help in getting your 2nd work out. My opinion always gets reinforced by a local commercial I see on TV from a large carpet cleaning service: 'Stick with the pros, they know stains'. Of course, equating aspiring authors to stains, isn't the best analogy. I keep mine as well, but someday I will find a very comical use for them...
JT I think you got the wrong end of the stick from my comments. I meant, by their very nature a good critique group is not as blunt. They give, if well run, support as well as advice. There is always someone in the group that has had more knocks than you, learned from those knocks, and willing to pass the knowledge on. And agents, when you are querying rarely give any critique, not unless they are interested. If a editor at a publisher/magazine is working with you, (it is not a critique as such) it is bashing the work into shape once it has been accepted for publication. Totally different thing. Besides a good group can help you build up a thick skin. And both critters and onlinewritingworkshop has folks in the business.
I think it would be a good idea to do what Dawnstorm suggested. I could ask for readers and mail them the work for critique, and I could do some critique in exchange if it's wanted. @ Dawnstorm, I stopped posting mainly due to fear of theft, but I've discovered that those fears were unwarranted. Thanks for everyone else's comments. I think I'll stick with sffworld for now. ~Angela
I've heard very good things in both the online and print media regarding Critters. I joined but I am currently rather busy with my own short story so I have yet to submit any of my own required critiques. I would agree with both Holbrook and JT Billow. Ben Bova (a former editor for Analog) advises aspiring novelists to avoid critiques from friends, family members and other as yet unpublished authors as they do not themselves know what an editor is actually looking for. Rather, he advises seeking critiques--when available--from established authors or those familiar with the industry. However, that's obviously not always a viable option. Add to this, most beginning authors benefit from the support found in writing groups and good writing groups will often have as members, established writers and people from the industry. So writing groups with good reputations can presumably be quite helpful. Mind you, I'm no established author nor am I in the biz; I'm just a guy who reads "how-to" books, but I would advise one thing regarding posting the stories you ultimately wish to sell. Make sure you post those stories strictly to sites where they allow only members who must log in to see your drafts. Magazines and other buyers generally want first rights to a work and if you have already offered your work up for public consumption, they may pass.

In the internal compartment there are four holes, one at either end of the base and one at either end of the lid. This means up to four incencse sticks can be burned at once. The box also has two inner holders to enable the burning of incense cones. Once burning the lid can be closed and the smoke then can drift out through the perforations in the wood. There is a compartment in the underside of the box where it is possible to store up to 20 incense sticks.
This beautiful and convenient box is also a good storage for your incense. When incense are lit, it creates an attractive presentation to have the smoke seep out of the lid.

Helpful Definition for: Amusement & Water Parks
Amusement and water parks are commercially operated parks with food stalls, enjoyable rides and shows for fun and recreational use. In Latham, many amusement parks are organized around some theme. Water parks mainly have various kinds of water rides in Latham. Some water rides are usually gentler and shorter than roller coasters, and many are suitable for all ages. Water rides are especially popular on hot summer days. Water parks, as the name speaks, include more of water, that need you to get wet but knowing how to swim is not so necessary, while amusement parks may only have dry rides.
Amusement parks in Lathamgenerate a portion of their income through the sale of food and drink to their patrons while many restaurants and food stands are operated by the amusement parks themselves, while others are branches of regional or national chains. We can also find many theme parks based on water, which are termed as water parks. Even many amusement parks have a different section for water rides along with usual fun rides, so that all age group people can enjoy their time.
The revenue is collected from admission fees that are paid by guests who visit the parks, also through food courts, parking and souvenirs. Even after entering, there might be need of payment for few rides within the park which is based on the attraction and complexity as well as popularity of that ride.

Major Section: RELEASE-NOTES
See note8-update for yet more recent changes.
Guards have been eliminated from the ACL2 logic. A summary is contained in this brief note. Also see defun-mode and see set-guard-checking.
Guards may be included in defuns as usual but are ignored from the perspective of admission to the logic: functions must terminate on all arguments.
As in Nqthm, primitive functions, e.g., +
and car
, logically
default unexpected arguments to convenient values. Thus, (+ 'abc 3)
is 3
and (car 'abc)
is nil
. See programming, and see
the documentation for the individual primitive functions.
In contrast to earlier versions of ACL2, Version 1.8 logical functions are executed at Nqthm speeds even when guards have not been verified. In versions before 1.8, such functions were interpreted by ACL2.
Colors have been eliminated. Two ``defun-modes'' are supported,
and :
. Roughly speaking, :
does what :red
to do, namely, allow you to prototype functions for execution
without any proof burdens. :
mode does what :blue
used to do,
namely, allow you to add a new definitional axiom to the logic. A
global default-defun-mode is comparable to the old default color.
The system comes up in :
mode. To change the global
defun-mode, type :
or :
at the top-level. To specify
the defun-mode of a defun
locally use
(declare (xargs :mode mode))
The prompt has changed. The initial prompt, indicating :
ACL2 !>If you change to
mode the prompt becomes
ACL2 p!>
Guards can be seen as having either of two roles: (a) they are a
specification device allowing you to characterize the kinds of
inputs a function ``should'' have, or (b) they are an efficiency
device allowing logically defined functions to be executed directly
in Common Lisp. If a guard is specified, as with xargs
, then
it is ``verified'' at defun-time (unless you also specify xargs
:verify-guards nil
). Guard verification means what it always has:
the input guard is shown to imply the guards on all subroutines in
the body. If the guards of a function are verified, then a call of
the function on inputs satisfying the guard can be computed directly
by Common Lisp. Thus, verifying the guards on your functions will
allow them to execute more efficiently. But it does not affect
their logical behavior and since you will automatically get Nqthm
speeds on unverified logical definitions, most users will probably
use guards either as a specification device or only use them when
execution efficiency is extremely important.
Given the presence of guards in the system, two issues are unavoidable.
Are guards verified as part of the defun
process? And are guards checked
when terms are evaluated? We answer both of those questions below.
Roughly speaking, in its initial state the system will try to verify
the guards of a defun
if a :
is supplied in the xargs
and will not try otherwise. However, guard verification in defun
can be inhibited ``locally'' by supplying the xargs
. ``Global'' inhibition can be obtained via
the :
. If you do not use the
, you will not need to think about guard
We now turn to the evaluation of expressions. Even if your functions contain
no guards, the primitive functions do and hence you have the choice: when you
submit an expression for evaluation do you mean for guards to be checked at
runtime or not? Put another way, do you mean for the expression to be
evaluated in Common Lisp (if possible) or in the logic? Note: If Common Lisp
delivers an answer, it will be the same as in the logic, but it might be
erroneous to execute the form in Common Lisp. For example, should
(car 'abc)
cause a guard violation error or return nil
The top-level ACL2 loop has a variable which controls which sense of
execution is provided. To turn ``guard checking on,'' by which we
mean that guards are checked at runtime, execute the top-level form
:set-guard-checking t
. To turn it off, do :set-guard-checking nil
The status of this variable is reflected in the prompt.
ACL2 !>means guard checking is on and
ACL2 >means guard checking is off. The exclamation mark can be thought of as ``barring'' certain computations. The absence of the mark suggests the absence of error messages or unbarred access to the logical axioms. Thus, for example
ACL2 !>(car 'abc)will signal an error, while
ACL2 >(car 'abc)will return
Note that whether or not guards are checked at runtime is
independent of whether you are operating in :
mode or
mode and whether theorems are being proved or not.
(Although it must be added that functions defined in :
mode cannot help but check their guards because no logical
definition exists.)
Version 1.8 permits the verification of the guards of theorems, thus
insuring that all instances of the theorem will evaluate without
error in Common Lisp. To verify the guards of a theorem named
execute the event
(verify-guards name).If a theorem's guards have been verified, the theorem is guaranteed to evaluate without error to non-
in Common Lisp (provided
resource errors do not arise).
Caveat about verify-guards
: implies
is a function symbol, so in the
term (implies p q)
, p
cannot be assumed true when q
is evaluated;
they are both evaluated ``outside.'' Hence, you cannot generally
verify the guards on a theorem if implies
is used to state the
hypotheses. Use if
instead. In a future version of ACL2, implies
will likely be a macro.
See sum-list-example.lisp for a nice example of the use of Version 1.8. This is roughly the same as the documentation for guard-example.
We have removed the capability to do ``old-style-forcing'' as existed before Version 1.5. See note5.
NOTE: Some low level details have, of course, changed. One such
change is that there are no longer two distinct type prescriptions
stored when a function is admitted with its guards verified. So for
example, the type prescription rune for binary-append
is now
(:type-prescription binary-append)while in Versions 1.7 and earlier, there were two such runes:
(:type-prescription binary-append . 1) (:type-prescription binary-append . 2)
Nqthm-style forcing on linear arithmetic assumptions is no longer executed when forcing is disabled.
Functional instantiation now benefits from a trick also used in
Nqthm: once a constraint generated by a :functional-instance
lemma instance (see lemma-instance) has been proved on behalf
of a successful event, it will not have to be re-proved on behalf of
a later event.
and 1-
are now macros in the logic, not functions. Hence, for
example, it is ``safe'' to use them on left-hand sides of rewrite
rules, without invoking the common warning about the presence of
nonrecursive function symbols.
A new documentation section file-reading-example illustrates how to process forms in a file.
A new proof-checker command forwardchain
has been added;
see acl2-pc::forwardchain.
It is now possible to use quantifiers. See defun-sk and see defchoose.
There is a new event set-inhibit-warnings
, which allows the user
to turn off warnings of various types.
see set-inhibit-warnings.
An unsoundness relating encapsulate
and :functional-instance
hints has been remedied, with a few small effects visible at the
user level. The main observable effect is that defaxiom
non-local include-book
events are no longer allowed in the scope
of any encapsulate
event that has a non-empty signature.
When certify-book
is called, we now require that the default
defun-mode (see default-defun-mode) be :
. On a related
note, the default defun-mode is irrelevant to include-book
; the
mode is always set to :
initially, though it may be changed
within the book and reverts to its original value at the conclusion
of the include-book
. A bug in include-book
prevented it from
acting this way even though the documentation said otherwise.
The documentation has been substantially improved. A new section ``Programming'' contains documentation of many useful functions provided by ACL2; see programming. Also, the documentation has been ``marked up'' extensively. Thus in particular, users of Mosaic will find many links in the documentation.
The symbols force
, mv-nth
, and acl2-count
have been added
to the list *acl2-exports*
We now permit most names from the main Lisp package to be used as names, except for names that define functions, macros, or constants. See name.
We have changed the list of imports from the Common Lisp package to
ACL2, i.e., the list *common-lisp-symbols-from-main-lisp-package*
to be exactly those external symbols of the Common Lisp package as
specified by the draft Common Lisp standard. In order to
accommodate this change, we have renamed some ACL2 functions as
shown below, but these and other ramifications of this change should
be transparent to most ACL2 users.
warning --> warning$ print-object --> print-object$
Proof trees are no longer enabled by default. To start them up,
We have added the capability of building smaller images. The
easiest way to do this on a Unix (trademark of AT&T) system is:
make small
Here we will put some less important changes, additions, and so on.
We have added definitions for the Common Lisp function position
(for the test eql
), as well as corresponding versions
and position-eq
that use tests equal
, respectively. See position, see position-equal,
and see position-eq.
The defthm
event rational-listp-implies-rationalp-car
longer exists.
We fixed a bug in the hint mechanism that applied :by
, :cases
, and
hints to the first induction goal when the prover reverted to
proving the original goal by induction.
We fixed a bug in the handling of (set-irrelevant-formals-ok :warn)
In support of removing the old-style forcing capability, we deleted
the initialization of state global old-style-forcing
and deleted the
definitions of recover-assumptions
, recover-assumptions-from-goal
, remove-assumptions
, and split-on-assumptions
and we renamed split-on-assumptions1
to split-on-assumptions
The special value 'none
in the proof-checker commands claim
and =
has been replaced by :none
A bug in the handling of hints by subgoals has been fixed. For
example, formerly a :do-not
hint could be ``erased'' by a :use
on a subgoal. Thanks go to Art Flatau for noticing the bug.
The functions weak-termp
and weak-term-listp
have been
deleted, and their calls have been replaced by corresponding calls
of pseudo-termp
and pseudo-term-listp
. The notion of
has been slightly strenthened by requiring that
terms of the form (quote ...)
have length 2.
Performance has been improved in various ways. At the prover level,
backchaining through the recognizer alist has been eliminated in
order to significantly speed up ACL2's rewriter. Among the other
prover changes (of which there are several, all technical): we no
longer clausify the input term when a proof is interrupted in favor
of inducting on the input term. At the IO level, we have improved
performance somewhat by suitable declarations and proclamations.
These include technical modifications to the macros mv
, and introduction of a macro the-mv
analogous to the
macro the
but for forms returning multiple values.
The function spaces
now takes an extra argument, the current column.
A bug in the proof-checker equiv
command was fixed.
The function intersectp
has been deleted, because it was
essentially duplicated by the function intersectp-equal
We now proclaim functions in AKCL and GCL before compiling books. This should result in somewhat increased speed.
The function repeat
has been eliminated; use make-list
The proof-checker command expand
has been fixed so that it
eliminates let
(lambda) expressions when one would expect it to.
A new primitive function, mv-nth
, has been introduced. Mv-nth
is equivalent to nth
and is used in place of nth
in the
translation of mv-let
expressions. This allows the user to
control the simplification of mv-let
expressions without
affecting how nth
is treated. In that spirit, the rewriter has
been modified so that certain mv-nth
expressions, namely those
produced in the translation of (mv-let (a b c)(mv x y z) p)
, are
given special treatment.
A minor bug in untranslate
has been fixed, which for example will
fix the printing of conjunctions.
now takes a logicp
argument, which indicates whether it
enforces the restriction that :
mode functions do not occur
in the result.
The modified version of trace
provided by ACL2, for use in raw Lisp,
has been modified so that the lisp special variable *trace-alist*
has a slightly different functionality. This alist associates,
using eq
, symbols with the print representations of their values.
For example, initially *trace-alist*
is a one-element list
containing the pair (cons 'state '|*the-live-state*|)
. Thus, one
may cons the pair (cons '*foo* "It's a FOO!")
on to *trace-alist*
then until *foo*
is defined, this change will have no effect, but
after for example
(defconst *foo* 17)then
will print 17
as "It's a FOO!"
also traces the corresponding logic function.
Proof-tree display has been improved slightly in the case of successful proofs and certain event failures.
The function positive-integer-log2
has been deleted.
The macro skip-proofs
now prints a warning message when it is
encountered in the context of an encapsulate
event or a book.
See skip-proofs.
Some functions related to the-fn
and wormhole1
now have
defun-mode :
, but this change is almost certain to
be inconsequential to all users.

Somehow this Dutch-British yet Belgian born (American) actress epidomizes every fantasy we have about Paris. Granted she made quite a few films set in Paris, so with good reason:
Paris - When It Sizzles
Two for the Road
How to Steal a Million
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Funny Face
And granted she became the canvas for Parisien designer, Givenchy to paint many of his finest creations on. They were both mad for each other. She was his muse, he was her best friend and co-creator of her inimitable style.
The collection of pieces on sale are cast-offs given by Hepburn to a long-time teen-age friend of many years, Tanja Star-Busmann.The two met in London when Tanja was 15 years old and Hepburn 20 – just before her career took off.
"I was perhaps her first unofficial fan – writing letters to her from boarding school and receiving replies," Star-Busmann, who is now in her 70s, wrote in the auction catalog. In addition to letters – some of which are to be sold – Hepburn also regularly gave her young confidant her hand-me-downs, which became increasingly fabulous as her star rose".
"Over the years, a cavalcade of boxes filled to the brim ... arrived at my door," wrote Star-Busmann. "Unpacking them was always like Xmas all over."

I was very lucky to see Audrey Hepburn win the Society of Lincoln Center award at a gala tribute in 1991. She was every bit as gracious and lovely as you can imagine...

First Baptist Church, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is one of eight congregations participating in the Biblical Preaching Project within Luther Seminary's Vibrant Congregations Project grant. According to the congregation's profile, First Baptist is the only church in the area with a traditional liturgical approach to Sunday morning worship services.
Here's an excerpt from their profile:
Practice #3: Learning the language of Spiritual Formation
We've developed a "5 year identity plan" that focuses on the journey inward and outward of Spiritual Formation.
If the Word of the God is forming us in our Christian journey, then how do we "do" what the Word tells us from a place of "being" in/with the Word, rather than a place of obligation/guilt.

U.IllinoisThe Shampoo Is GoodI like the shampoo for many reasons; It cleans the hair well, because I use many conditioning products after shampooing, I noticed no product build up in my hair-it acts like a clarifying shampoo. A small amount is all that is needed to clean the hair, one tube goes for a long time. I also noticed that my hair is growing a little faster than usual using the shampoo alone, I just use a deep moisterizing conditioner afterwards. It also has a fresh scent. A definite 4 stars.posted May 12, 2006Link to this post

JenHair Plus ShampooI was really please with the speedy service I got, Im from the uk and recieved my products within two working days.I have used hair growth shampoo and never found they have worked but this product is really good, my hair feels softer, thicker and you can really notice the difference. . my hair really has grown quicker then it normally would 10/10 for this product.posted Feb 8, 2006Link to this post
Unsatisfied CustomerThey Should Call It Hair MinusIts a waste of money, really. Sure, you get that "tingly feeling" when you apply the shampoo, but the product is very misleading. Consumers expect hair to grow much more quickly, when it really only works over the long term. Its barely noticeable, anyhow. The products dry out your hair, and Ive noticed SIGNIFICANT hair loss since I started using this product. Quite frightening, actually. If the conditioner is used toward the scalp, and a different brand of conditioner is used toward the ends, the drying is not so unbearable. It is a real pain in the neck to "massage it over the entire scalp," though. Aside from all of that, I do think that it improves the condition of your existing hair. I only noticed this when I switched back to my normal brand of shampoos and conditioners, though, so I am not completely sure if that change I noticed was due to the Hair Plus products quality or the fact that the other shampoo was that much better. In any case, Ive lost a LOT of hair in the process. Do not purchase this product.posted Jan 4, 2006Link to this post
LeanHouston, TXNot GoodIve been using the product for a couple of months now.. IT DOES NOT WORK, it dries my hair, and its hard to even comb. I havent seen any signs of growth.. DO NOT PURCHASE, even though everyone has different types of hair, it still doesnt work...posted Jan 2, 2006Link to this post
ShreyaUKNot For Dry HairMy hair grow very slowly and using this product did give a feeling of faster growth. But the shampoo is EXTREMELY drying and strips my thin and delicate hair of every ounce of moisture and I have excessive hair fall while applying the conditioner and breakage while brushing as the shampoo makes the hair dry and brittle. The conditioner is also not very viscous and so does not glides in the hair and needs more messaging to reach the scalp and leads to more hair fall. Overall effect is highly distressed hair and scalp, all because the shampoo is too drying.Overall the product itself is good had it not been for its extreme drying effect.posted Nov 5, 2005Link to this post
MaryaCaliforniaNot WorkingI have been using this product for a week and I dont see any growth but IT ONLY GIVES IT VOLUME AND ITS MORE EASIER TO BRUSH MY HAIR.

SashaCaliforniaNot Very Impressed!I already have thick hair and this product makes it even thicker and now out of control. I have to use a TON of product in order to get it through my hair and now I have started adding other shampoos and conditioners into the mix in order to get my hair clean. The conditioner doesnt seem to condition and leaves my hair a bit dry if used alone. I dont feel the "tingle" some of the reviewers talk about. I will finish up the product, but so far I dont notice anything different except thicker, curlier hair. It DOES give thicker, softer hair, but hair growth and condition, I do not see. I feel like I am pulling out half my hair because it is so dry after the treatment when I am trying to style it.posted Oct 21, 2005Link to this post

Seeking series win, Sox face tough challenge in Cosart
Roughed up in last start, Dempster looks to bounce back vs. Astros
It's early August, but the Red Sox have already tied their season total in wins from last season with their 15-10 decision over the Astros on Tuesday.
Boston will look to swiftly move past that mark in the rubber match of its three-game set at Minute Maid Park on Wednesday.
Trying to get the Red Sox's 70th win of the season will be a man who was on the Rangers at this time last year, Ryan Dempster.
Dempster came to Boston as a free agent in the offseason, and he has been fairly consistent since a tough May. However, the right-hander was roughed up for seven earned runs by the Mariners on Thursday.
The 36-year-old struggled badly with his command, and as a result gave up nine hits and five walks over six innings.
He'll be up against rookie Jarred Cosart, who's allowed only three earned runs over his first four Major League starts.
Against the Twins, the 23-year-old's ERA actually rose to 0.96 despite giving up just one earned run over seven innings, while striking out four. It also marked his best outing in terms of base on balls, where the right-hander allowed only one walk.
"I try and learn from the past start and work on stuff in the bullpen with [pitching coach Doug Brocail] and the other coaches and take it into the next start," Cosart said. "We didn't want to walk anybody, and I walked one. … [That's] what I'm trying to build on going forward, is limit the walks. I was able to make some big pitches tonight out of the stretch, and it got me through seven innings."
Making Cosart's triumphant start to his big league career is that three of the four teams he faced are in the top third of the league for runs scored.
He won't get a reprieve Wednesday when he faces the league leaders in the Red Sox, who are coming of a night when they scored 15 runs and chased starter Jordan Lyles in the fifth inning.
Red Sox: Buchholz making progress after a series of setbacks
Clay Buchholz threw 27 pitches off the mound on Tuesday for the first time in three weeks.
"He came out of today's mound work feeling pretty good about himself," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "More importantly, he's built up enough of a foundation that we can build a mound progression for him to follow. That's still in the works, what makes the most sense."
Buchholz is nearing two months on the disabled list with a neck strain. An MRI revealed no structural damage, but the right-hander did have inflammation in the bursa sac area of his shoulder.
"It's just progression," Buchholz said of what he's looking for. "I'm trying to build up more pitches, obviously. I'm not sure how long it's going to take."
Although the progress was good news from a setback in Oakland, there's still a long road until the 28-year-old can return to the Majors.
"There's going to be a progression of bullpen [sessions] before anything else happens," Buchholz said. "The bullpen [sessions] are pretty normal, then some simulated stuff and rehab [games]."
There's still no timetable for Buchholz's return, but at least on Tuesday there were some signs of encouragement for the first time in awhile.
"Today was 27 pitches of decent intensity, with all his pitches thrown," Farrell said. "He felt nothing [in pain] compared to his last bullpen session in Oakland. Today was a good step for him."
Astros: Youth on display in Houston
It's funny how quickly things change. Those words may have been written exclusively for this Astros squad.
Over the past two weeks, Houston has seen a drastic overturn of its roster, with youth being the primary supplement.
After a series of trades, an injury and a pair of veterans removed from the roster, Houston is getting a first-hand look at the depth and talent they have in their system.
The Astros have 11 players on their 25-man roster that have played in Triple-A Oklahoma City since Memorial Day.
"A lot of these guys are growing together, so it's a close-knit group," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "They're anticipating being here for a long time. You can see the camaraderie on our bench. They're watching the game intently. As a manager, we sit here and think, 'This is the start of something good.'"
Having long been one of the youngest club's in the big leagues this season, the Astros now have an average age of 25.7, more than a full year younger on average than any other team.
The influx of youth has allowed Houston to fully take stock of what they have in store for the coming years.
"The maturation that's taken place with our ballclub backwards in age, it's actually a good thing to evaluate the number of players we've been able to evaluate," Porter said. "The questions we had as a staff, we're allowing the players to answer those questions. The big leagues don't lie. We're seeing the answers as this season goes."
Worth noting
• The Red Sox hold an all-time record of 12-3 record against the Astros after Tuesday's victory. All of Boston's losses have come in Houston.
• Dempster will be making his 27th start and 53rd appearance of his career against the Astros on Wednesday. He's 7-12 with a 4.28 ERA with 164 strikeouts.
• Cosart has posted a 0.96 ERA in his first four Major League starts. He is only the second pitcher since earned runs became an official statistic 100 years ago to go six or more innings and allow fewer than two earned runs in each of his first four starts in the Majors. The first to do so was Wayne Simpson of the 1970 Reds.
