SPRING HILL, FL (WFTS/CNN) - Police are investigating after a 10-year-old was found wandering around a Florida neighborhood, naked and drunk.
"He couldn't even stand. He was just, you know. Naked," said Amanda Roesch, a neighbor.
Roesch is a mom.
"And I'm like, come in the house, baby and I went and got some of my son's clothes," she said. "They had come across him, you know, going up and down, naked, completely naked. No underwear, no socks, nothing."
Two neighbors walking their dog came across the 10-year-old wandering the neighborhood without a stitch of clothing. In a state no child should ever experience.
"He was so intoxicated that he didn't realize he had no clothes on," Roesch said.
According to the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, his caretaker, Nedra Byrd, was intoxicated too, and passed out in her home across the street with a friend.
"The juvenile said that the caregiver provided the brandy," said Denise Moloney, Hernando County Sheriff's Office.
When deputies arrived they found a half-empty bottle of Christian Brother's Brandy on her counter and took the fourth-grader to the hospital.
"And they went ahead and did a blood alcohol which came out to .108, which an adult would be considered impaired driving at .08," Moloney said.
Roesch is still shaken-up.
"How do you not know your child is missing and drunk, wandering down a dark road in the cold? I just don't understand."

(Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear an appeal that gives the nine justices a chance to limit the ability of consumers and businesses to litigate disputes as a class.
At issue was whether doctors could collectively arbitrate a dispute over payments with Oxford Health Plans LLC even though the governing arbitration agreement did not mention class actions.
The court has in recent years made it harder for some parties to litigate or arbitrate their claims together, which could boost payouts and lower costs.
In the 2010 case Stolt-Nielsen v. AnimalFeeds International Corp, the court said it "cannot be presumed" that parties to a dispute agreed to accept class arbitration simply by having agreed to arbitrate in the first place.
And the next year, in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, the court gave businesses a big victory by upholding contracts that required customers to arbitrate disputes individually, and waive their right to pursue class-action litigation.
In the Oxford case, an arbitrator allowed class arbitration of a dispute over that company's alleged failure to properly reimburse doctors including John Sutter, who challenged how some 16,500 physicians in New Jersey were reimbursed.
The arbitrator allowed class arbitration despite the silence on that issue of the governing contractual clause, which said: "No civil action concerning any dispute arising under this agreement shall be instituted before any court, and all such disputes shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration."
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia upheld the Oxford arbitrator's decision in April, saying the arbitrator simply "construed the text of the arbitration agreement to authorize and require class arbitration".
But Seth Waxman, a former U.S. solicitor general representing Oxford, said this effectively gave arbitrators unfettered discretion to decide whether there was an "implicit" understanding between parties to allow class arbitration.
He said that while the federal appeals court in New York has taken a similar approach, the federal appeals court in New Orleans required more of a contractual or legal basis.
"A party's right not to be dragooned into class arbitration proceedings that it never agreed to authorize should not depend on which federal court is asked to enforce the ... basic precept that arbitration is a matter of consent, not coercion," Waxman wrote.
The doctors, while noting that the agreement was "atypical", urged the Supreme Court not to take the case.
They said the appellate court split appeared based more on the facts of the particular cases, and that the issue will become less important as more parties use agreements with explicit language about class arbitration.
A decision is expected by the end of June.
The case is Oxford Health Plans LLC v. Sutter, U.S. Supreme Court, No. 12-135.

I-70 back open in South Huntingdon Twp. after acid spill
No injuries reported
I-70 back open in South Huntingdon Twp. after acid spill
No injuries reported
SOUTH HUNTINGDON TOWNSHIP, Pa. —
Westmoreland County emergency management said Interstate 70 between routes 51 and 31 has reopened after it was shut down because a tanker truck leaked hydrochloric acid.
Authorities said at least 100 gallons of acid spilled Sunday afternoon at the intersection of Fitz Henry Road and I-70 in South Huntingdon Township. The highway, which was shut down for nearly four hours, was reopened at 4 p.m, authorities said.
There were no reports of injuries, but the Smithton truck stop was partially evacuated after officials ordered an evacuation of the area within a half-mile of the spill.
The interstate closure resulted in backups that are miles-long in both directions.

UPDATED: Belmont woman killed in Meredith crashBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
March 24. 2013 3:46PM
MEREDITH - A 22-year-old Belmont woman who was a student at a Boston college was killed early Sunday morning when her car slammed into a parked car in a driveway near Old Center Harbor Road, police said.
Meredith Bergeron, of 107 Cotton Hill Road, Belmont, was driving alone traveling east on Route 25 in her 2005 PT Cruiser when she apparently lost control and hit a 2007 Ford Focus in a driveway at 182 Route 25 at 2:36 a.m., according to Sgt. Michael Harper.
Bergeron's vehicle came to rest in the westbound lane. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Both vehicles were totaled, police said. Police are investigating whether speed or alcohol played any role in the crash.
Police were assisted at the scene by workers from the Meredith Fire and Rescue Department, Stewart's Ambulance and the state medical examiner's office.
Bergeron was a graduate Belmont High School's class of 2008, and was a student at Emmanuel College in Boston, Mass., where she had been studying health care, according to Linda Frawley, a family friend. Her father, Dick Bergeron, is a retired police chief from a Massachusetts community, and her mother is a health-care worker, Frawley said.
Bergeron's family was devastated by the death, she said. "She was this delightful young person, this is such a tragedy," Frawley said.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Seismologists say a magnitude-5.3 earthquake has shaken Costa Rica. There are no immediate reports of damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake occurred at 6:19 a.m. (8:19 EST; 12:19 GMT) and was centered eight miles (14 kilometers) north-northeast of the town of Nicoya. The epicenter was about 22 miles (35 kilometers) below the surface.
The agency originally calculated the magnitude as 5.8 but later revised it downward.

The Fringe continues . . .
By Davida Singer
Photo by Vivian Cooper Smith
A scene from Granola! The Muscial. A proud group of granola farmers who dance and sing, battle the dark forces of EvilCorp in a fierce struggle to save their land. Playing at Pace University, Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts, 13 Spruce St, (East of Park Row, near Gold St.), Sun, Aug. 22 at 9:15 pm and Fri, Aug. 27 at 8 pm.
Fringe rules! The 8th New York Internationl Fringe Festival continues to run thru Aug. 29, hosting roughly 200 shows at 20 downtown venues, from Pace University to West 11th Street. More than 1300 performers in a wide range of disciplines, including theater, dance, comedy, buskers, multi-media and spoken word. The tagline for this years FringeNYC, the largest multi-arts festival in North America, is Defy Convention.
This time, among applicants, we saw a preponderance of people with a lot of personal stories to tell, says Producing Artistic Director, Elena Holy. Were 16 days prior to the Republican convention in the same city, and its interesting that so many performers are doing social themes, and all in different genres.
According to Holy, FringeNYC always strives to represent as many voices as possible, and for the 8th Festival the variation has increased, with international companies from Cyprus, Iceland, Germany and Spain, and work from such diverse national cities as Boise, Minneapolis, Miami and Fort Worth.
In this day and age, she elaborates, its so important to have all of these performers come and join us in New York City, especially the international ones. Its an important way to show the reality of who we are, because of how unflattering the picture of Americans has been lately around the world.
Holy stresses that the current FringeNYC has such an extraordinary body of work, its been difficult to create highlights this time around. Instead, she notes a sampling of shows representing the enormous variety present at the Festival.
Theres Hanging Chad, by Greg Klein, the true story of a guy named Chad who moved from Harlem to Florida, which became an issue when his vote wasnt counted. Womyn in Three, written by Caren Lyn Manuel, recounts her transformational experience and the hypothesis that Mary Magdalene and Jesus had a sexual connection. Manuel tracked down the story, and formed a very personal piece out of it. Steven Fales autobiographical work is called Confession of a Mormon Boy, and deals with his religious background, marriage, and realization that he was gay.
From Australia, comes Black Swans of Tresspass, which is almost an installation, with video, slides and puppets, adds Holy. Its a literary hoax about modern Australian poets, where the more traditional writers produce a made-up poet and his work. The dance company from Cyprus with choreographer, Elena Christodoulidou, is doing Lifetime, about our relationship with time, and one of our Canadian companies has a comedy called Pith, about a high society widow and the sailor who takes her on an imaginary journey without leaving her house. Theres a great mix of emerging and experienced artists here. We look for passion, diversity and innovation when we choose, and now we even draw lots of celebrities -soap stars, Broadway people- who want to be part of all this.
Special added attractions to FringeNYC also return with gusto. FringeJR for children offers a musical version of Rapunzel and In My Country, a free, multi-media presentation by international participants. Fringe High has shows appropriate for high school kids, and FringeART boasts an interactive canvas on wheels, So everyone can be part of this finger painting. Also free are the outdoor performances of FringeAL FRESCO, including American Oligopoly, a 20 by 20 live action monopoly game using world politics, Voices of Juarez, based on the recent disappearance of young, Mexican women, and the Suitcase Players with their 15 minute condensed versions of Americans classics like The Glass Menagerie and Death of a Salesman.
This year, the information hub of the Festival, FringeCENTRAL, is located at 127 MacDougal Street, between West 3rd and West 4th Streets, and accessible by all subways. There one can get a leg up on whats happening in the vast schedule of shows running from 3 p.m. to midnight on weekdays and 12 noon to midnight on weekends.
New Yorkers have taken responsibility for FringeNYC for a long time, Holy says. Now we have others stepping in to help us. Pace University has contributed four venues and Leslie Garfield Real Estate donated the FringeCENTRAL space. There are 400-500 volunteers again, and our work a shift, see a show policy still holds. Weve done our best to keep prices down too, with most shows at $15, and the Flex Pass- $110. for 10 shows- is our best deal. The real challenge as our reputation and size grows, is to maintain the spirit, and passion of the festival and the community weve created.
And what does the Artistic Director see as this FringeNYCs special essence?
I think were fortunate we can gather and create in this way, she answers. Its time right now for us to celebrate our rights as human beings and our freedoms. I feel for these 16 days we become stewards of all these artists dreams. The joy of meeting them and seeing them light up and become part of something so special, brings such gratification. Significantly, our applications are always due on Valentines Day, so its like getting valentines from all over the world. Its really hard to have a down day with all of this energy and talent flooding over everything.

On May 21, 2007, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued the Competition Framework for Human Resources Management Line of Business Migrations. This framework provides guidance to agencies planning to upgrade or replace their agency's human resources management systems. As such, the framework is an integral part of the HR LOB Migration Planning Guidance document.
Agencies that wish to conduct a non-competitive migration or a migration based on private-private competition or public-public competition shall prepare a full justification. The justification shall be approved by the agency's Chief Human Capital Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Acquisition Officer. Agencies may wish to use the Exception Business Case Template (Attachment A) in preparing their justification to the Office of Management and Budget.
The following acquisition guidelines, tools, and templates are provided to assist agencies in conducting a public-private competition to select an SSC. Agencies are encouraged to use these, but may leverage, modify, or supplement the guidelines, tools, and templates as necessary to fit their particular needs. Agencies may also develop their own tools and templates.
The Statement of Objectives Template (Attachment B) is provided for agency use, and may be used to formulate agency objectives as part of the SSC selection and evaluation process. This is an important component of the selection process, and will help agencies identify the best qualified HR LOB SSC to provide the agency with a range of human resources and payroll services on a governmentwide basis using a common, open, and reusable architecture.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) Instruction Guidelines provide a standard template to agencies for preparation of SECTION L — Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders included in the RFP template. Agencies should review the standard instruction sections, and determine if these sections apply to their particular HR LOB SSC procurement effort. Agencies have the ability to modify the guidelines in order to match their specific procurement requirements.
In addition to a narrative response to an agency RFP, Offerors will be asked to complete an RFP Price Proposal Table and an RFP Background and Experience Checklist described below.
In addition to providing written proposals, Offerors may be invited by agencies to conduct an Operational Capabilities Demonstration (OCD) of their proposed solution and services. For Offerors selected to perform an OCD, it will be an element of the functional and technical evaluation and will impact the agency's award decision. Through the OCDs, the agency will have the opportunity to investigate further each Offeror's capabilities as described in their written proposal response. At the conclusion of the OCDs, the agency will have more information necessary to comprehensively analyze the offerings and make a final recommendation/decision.
When conducting the OCD evaluations, agencies may use the Guidance for Agency-Level OCDs (Attachment F) as appropriate. Agencies may include unique agency requirements and combine OCDs as necessary depending on the agency SOO and Offeror solutions.
This section includes Evaluation Templates and Criteria to assist agencies in documenting and organizing the evaluation of Offerors' proposals. The templates include evaluation matrices for technical, functional, management, and corporate capabilities, and the corresponding risk matrices.
Attachment G:
The Customer Agency Due Diligence Checklist (Attachment H) is intended to be used by customer agencies planning to select an HR LOB Shared Service Center and represents key items that an agency should consider during the selection process. It is not an exhaustive set of questions and may be refined or expanded based on unique agency requirements. Agencies may require SSC assistance to complete. SSC responses should be documented and evaluated to ensure that the Federal Government's objectives and interests are protected.
Customer agencies may use the checklist during the Notice of Intent phase of a public-private competition or to substantiate the submission of an Exception Business Case. In either case, the agency should review the checklist and seek information that pertains to the services that the agency is seeking.

This paper presents an ongoing research on the behavior and performance of LISP with respect to C in the context of scientific numerical computing. Several simple image processing algorithms are used to evaluate the performance of pixel access and arithmetic operations in both languages. We demonstrate that the behavior of equivalent LISP and C code is similar with respect to the choice of data structures and types, and also to external parameters such as hardware optimization. We further demonstrate that properly typed and optimized LISP code runs as fast as the equivalent C code, or even faster in some cases.

Supermarket chain Kroger is recalling ten-ounce packages of Fresh Selections spinach that have a "best if used by" date of September 16, 2012. Testing revealed the product may contain Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, which if eaten can lead to a severe illness called listeriosis, reports CBS News.
PLUS: Keep Track of Recalls with Our Recall Finder
The product was sold in Kroger stores in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. The recall involves its Kroger, Jay C, Owen's, Pay Less, Scott's, Food 4 Less, Dillons, Baker's and Gerbes stores in Indiana, Illinois and eastern Missouri.
Healthy people who eat the bacteria may not get sick, but the elderly, women who are pregnant, or people who have a weakened immune system are especially at risk for illness. Listeria ingestion can cause fever and muscle aches, often with other gastrointestinal symptoms.
Please read and share!

The reason I am making a post here is because of your Inception article. You say that the limbo is caused by dying in a dream within a dream. This is incorrect. The reason is because Cobb and the others are sedated, so they are constantly avoiding Fischer's dresm guards, even in the first dream layer. You should reword it saying that they must avoid dying because they are sedated.
Thank you for your amazing website, I just wanted there to be clear information
Thanks very much
I'm not sure I understand you fully about Inception. Can you elaborate? I would like to clear it up if I've mis-spoken in my article, but I'm not sure how to re-word based on what you've said. What has sedation got to do with the dream guards? Eg, if they were sedated in their own lucid dream, could they not still go into multiple dream layers and therefore into limbo? (I think I need to watch the movie again....)
Lucky for me I can afford to be wrong about speculative fiction
For example, in the first scene, Arthur died in the second dream layer then went directly into the first dream layer. You word the article saying limbo is caused by dying in a dream within a dream.

Security standards not mandated for visitation sites
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
Murder-suicide revives custody-rights debate
The state Division for Children, Youth and Families has no regulatory oversight of the visitation centers where parents involved in domestic violence cases can meet with their children under court-ordered supervision.
It's up to the individual programs to decide what type of security to provide during supervised visits.
Last Sunday, Menahem "Muni" Savyon shot and killed his 9-year-old son and then committed suicide during a supervised visit at the YWCA's visitation center in Manchester. The child's mother had gotten a restraining order against Savyon in 2012, and he was allowed only supervised visits with his son, Joshua.
Savyon, 54, had previously threatened to kill the mother of his son, the boy and himself, according to court documents.Edwin Kelly, administrative judge of the New Hampshire Circuit Court, said the question of visitation with children is addressed as part of the domestic violence process.
"Where there's a situation where someone raises a question of danger to the child, as happened in this case, the options are expanded to consider supervised visitation centers, if you're lucky enough to be in an area where they have one," he said.
But the court doesn't typically order police protection or other security measures, Kelly said.
"That goes beyond anything that the court would do," he said. "If the issue of dangerousness was raised to such a level that someone felt there was that level of concern, it would be more likely the court would order no visitation."
It's up to parents to arrange meetings at a visitation center and pay for the time spent there.
At Merrimack County Visitation Center, which has locations in Concord, Franklin, Henniker and Pittsfield, parents pay $20 an hour for supervised visits, $10 an hour for "semi-supervised" visits and $5 to exchange children there, according to its website.
Julie Darling, coordinator of MCVC, said she would not talk about the specific security measures in place there because she wanted to protect the families that use the center. But she said deputy sheriffs are in the building during all visits, and they check in the non-custodial parents when they arrive for visitations.
Darling said court orders in each case are reviewed. And she said, "We do assess risk for every family that comes through our doors."
The YWCA in Manchester did not respond to a reporter's questions Friday about what security measures were in place during Savyon's visit with his son last week.
But at a news conference held the day after the shootings, Monica Zulauf, president of the YWCA, said when families are identified as higher risk, they cannot use the center unless they pay for a police detail during a visit.
She said an adult counselor was in the room during the visit between Muni Savyon and Joshua. And she said video surveillance taken during the visit was turned over to police.
Darling said her center is reviewing its security policies because of last Sunday's tragedy in Manchester. "Because I think that no matter how safe of a service you're providing, there's always room for improvement.
"I think it would be remiss for us to not do that in the wake of this tragedy," she said.

Brian Ward and I recorded Episode 29 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience this morning. Our podcast, as I mentioned last time, is now sponsored by Audible.com. Here is how Brian described the podcast on Ricochet:
If it's Bastille Day, this must be the Hinderaker-Ward Experience. Because nothing says anarcho-socialist revolution more than John Hinderaker of Power Line and me, Brian Ward of Fraters Libertas.
Today's podcast includes scintillating commentary on the weather in Minnesota, Obama's Bain Capital smears, and speculation on the VP sweepstakes.
We're also joined by the great John Nolte of Breitbart.com. He's the editor-at-large, covering all things media, entertainment, and politics related at the Breitbart empire. We discuss how things have evolved at Breitbart.com since the tragic loss of Andrew. Then we talk about some of the recent initiatives and stories they've been covering, including the continuing vetting of Barack Obama, the battle to keep Politico and Buzzfeed honest, and the media's ignoring of Obama's continued use of lies and exaggeration regarding Romney's record at Bain Capital. And no conversation with John Nolte would be complete without talking about the movies and some of the releases this summer that bare watching. In particular, John's been hearing some great things about Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises," to be released next week. It's always fun to talk to John and you can see his work at Breitbart.com and follow him on Twitter at @JohnNC
Later, a long overdue Loon of the Week is presented to the longest serving Congressman in history, 86 –year-old John Dingell. Finally, This Week in Gatekeeping, with another disturbing mishap from the media, this time out of Durango Colorado.
This show is brought to you by the fine folks at Audible.com, the internet's LEADING provider of audiobooks with more than 100,000 downloadable titles across all types of literature, including fiction, non-fiction and periodicals.

Colorados public pension system is not sustainable and the state could be in a budget crisis if the systems issues are not addressed, says state Treasurer Walker Stapleton.
Stapleton, a Republican, criticized the states 8 percent rate-of-return assumption in a meeting Wednesday with The Durango Herald editorial board.
States have been cutting the assumed return rate how much a state and its workers have to contribute to the system because of the weak market and low interest rates. Indiana cut its return assumption from 7 to 6.75 percent last year, one of the lowest assumed rates in the country.
California is bleeding red ink because of its public pension system and its rate of return is 7.5 percent, Stapleton said.
Were making larger public promises to employees than even California, he said.
A recent report from Morningstar Inc., a national investment research company, found that the Colorado Public Employees Retirement Association is one of 21 state pension funds that are not fiscally sound, according to a November 2012 Denver Post article.
Stapleton said the state Legislature needs to shift its focus from social issues such as gun control and civil unions to economic ones and address the pension system.

In this interview with Dr. Daniel Redwood, Smith discusses the crucial importance of proper and early diagnosis, the strengths and weaknesses of conventional and alternative medicine, and the ways he and Jane responded to her cancer diagnosis.
Smith is a former Washington correspondent and columnist whose work has been published in the New York Times Magazine, Newsday, Philadelphia Inquirer, Washington Post, Oregonian, Virginian-Pilot and elsewhere. He is the author of five previous books, including Edgar Cayce: My Life as a Seer (St. Martin's) and The Tiger in the Senate, a biography of Wayne Morse. Since 1985, he has served as editor of Venture Inward magazine. He lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Misdiagnosed is available both as a trade paperback and as an ebook.

(Note: Dr. Daniel Redwood, the interviewer, was not among the health practitioners who treated Jane Smith during her illness.)
REDWOOD: What happened in the course of your wife Jane's final illness that led you to conclude that there is a cold war between alternative and conventional medicine, with patients caught in the middle?
BOB SMITH: It was primarily because Jane got trapped in feeling that she had to be loyal to one side or the other, and because she encountered (and I witnessed it) so much hostility on the part of practitioners toward the other side. "Other side" meaning allopathic for alternative practitioners and also an adversarial relationship that existed among certain allopathic physicians toward alternative medicine.
Jane had become very convinced about the efficacy of alternative medicine years ago, and she was always so healthy that for years she never saw a conventional doctor. She didn't have a primary care physician. She saw a chiropractor on a regular monthly schedule and was very healthy for all of the years I knew her, which was roughly ten years. Then she suddenly developed a backache, which led her to her chiropractor and then to other practitioners because the backache persisted. Her search for a solution to her pain lasted four or five months, and she saw many practitioners during that period before she was correctly diagnosed with cancer.
REDWOOD: And that correct diagnosis came from a conventional physician?
SMITH: She saw a series of physicians and surgeons, but it was primarily not because they were allopathic versus alternative, but because they used the latest high-tech means of diagnosing patients.
REDWOOD: MRI and so forth?
SMITH: MRI, bone scans, CT-scans, and just basic x-rays. None of the alternative practitioners used any of those, not even an x-ray. So they were, in effect, guessing what was wrong with her, and treating her according to what they would normally do.
REDWOOD: What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses of alternative and conventonal medicine?
SMITH: I think the greatest strength of alternative medicine is that most of it doesn't have any dire side effects. It seems to me that allopathic medicine has become so oriented toward the use of chemicals and drugs that may help, but also may do harm to the patient. They go through these long trials and the FDA eventually may approve a drug, but with all sorts of warnings about things that could go wrong. Well, a lot of people aren't willing to take those chances and as a consequence are looking for other answers. I think alternative medicine offers help in many ways.

Fedora Licensing
The goal of the Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to create a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from Free and Open Source software.
All software in Fedora must be under licenses in the Fedora licensing list . This list is based on the licenses approved by the Free Software Foundation , OSI and consultation with Red Hat Legal.
If code is multiple licensed, and at least one of the licenses is approved for Fedora, that code can be included in Fedora under the approved license(s) (but only under the terms of the approved license(s)).
License Text
If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package, must be included as documentation.
License: field
Every Fedora package must contain a
License: entry. Maintainers should be aware that the contents of the
License: field are understood to not be legally binding (only the source code itself is), but maintainers must make every possible effort to be accurate when filling the
License: field.
The License: field refers to the licenses of the contents of the binary rpm. When in doubt, ask.
Valid License Short Names
License: field must be filled with the appropriate license Short License identifier(s) from the "Good License" tables on the Fedora Licensing page. If your license does not appear in the tables, it needs to be sent to email@example.com (note that this list is moderated, only members may directly post). If the license is approved, it will be added to the appropriate table.
In the past, Fedora (and Red Hat Linux) packages have used "Distributable" in the
License: field. In virtually all of these cases, this was not correct. Fedora no longer permits packages to use "Distributable" as a valid License. If your package contains content which is freely redistributable without restrictions, but does not contain any license other than explicit permission from the content owner/creator, then that package can use "Freely redistributable without restriction" as its
License: identifier.
License: field for any firmware that disallows modification should be set to: "Redistributable, no modification permitted".
Versioned licenses
Some licenses include the version as part of the Short License Identifier. This is only done when multiple versions of the license differ in significant ways (e.g. one revision is GPLv2 incompatible, while a later version is not). Be careful to ensure that you use the correct Short License Identifier, as shown in the tables on the Fedora Licensing page.
"or later version" licenses
Some licenses state that either the current version of the license or later versions may be used. It is important to note when a license states this. When a license has an "or later version" clause, we note that by appending a + to the Short License Identifier. Please note that there are already special Short License Identifiers for GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+, there is no need to append an additional + for those cases.
GPL and LGPL
Since compatibility of code and library linking is especially complex with GPL and LGPL, Fedora packages can no longer simply use "GPL" or "LGPL" in the
License: field. Please refer to the Fedora Licensing page for the acceptable identifiers, and be careful to ensure that you select the correct one.
Dual Licensing Scenarios
If your package is dual licensed (or triple licensed, etc.), the spec must reflect this by using "or" as a separator. Note that this only applies when the contents of the package are actually under a dual license, and not when the package contains items under multiple, distinct, and independent licenses.
Package libfoo is dual licensed as Mozilla Public License v1.1 and GNU General Public License v2 or later. The package spec must have: License: MPLv1.1 or GPLv2+
Multiple Licensing Scenarios
If your package contains files which are under multiple, distinct, and independent licenses, then the spec must reflect this by using "and" as a separator. Fedora maintainers are highly encouraged to avoid this scenario whenever reasonably possible, by dividing files into subpackages (subpackages can each have their own
License: field).
Example: Package bar-utils contains some files under the Python License, some other files under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2 or later, and one file under the BSD License (no advertising). The package spec must have:
License: Python and LGPLv2+ and BSD
In addition, the package must contain a comment explaining the multiple licensing breakdown. The actual implementation of this is left to the maintainer. Some suggested implementations include
- A comment right above the
License: GPLv2+ and BSD
- Including a file as
%docwhich contains the licensing breakdown for the packaged files, then using:
# For a breakdown of the licensing, see PACKAGE-LICENSING
- Noting the license above the appropriate %files section:
%files %defattr(-,root,root,-) %doc Changes %{_bindir}/cobra-util %{_bindir}/viper-util %{_bindir}/gnu-util %{_bindir}/rms-util %{_bindir}/berkeley-util
Combined Dual and Multiple Licensing Scenario
If you are unlucky enough that your package possesses items multiple, distinct, and independent licenses...AND some of those items are dual licensed, you must note the dual licensed items by wrapping them with parenthesis (). Otherwise, the guidelines for Dual and Multiple Licensing apply.
Example: Package baz-utils contains some files under the Python License, some other files under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2 or later, one file under the BSD License, no advertising, and one file which is dual licensed as Mozilla Public License v1.1 and GNU General Public License v2 or later. The package spec must have:
License: Python and LGPLv2+ and BSD and (MPLv1.1 or GPLv2+)
Since this is a multiple licensing scenario, the package must contain a comment explaining the multiple licensing breakdown. The actual implementation of this is left to the maintainer.
Mixed Source Licensing Scenario
In some cases, it is possible for a binary to be generated from multiple source files with compatible, but differing licenses. Thus, the binary file would actually have simultaneous dual licensing (an AND, as opposed to an OR). For example, it is possible that a binary is generated from a source file licensed as BSD with advertising, and another source file licensed as QPL (which specifies that modifications must be shipped as patches). In this scenario, we'd wrap the list of licenses for that binary with parenthesis, example:
Package spot-utils contains some files under the Python License, but one of the files is generated from a BSD with advertising source file and a QPL source file.
License: Python and (BSD with advertising and QPL)
Software Types
There are some specific software types worth mentioning from a licensing/legal perspective.
Shareware applications are not Open Source code, and are not acceptable for Fedora.
However, it is worth noting that some non-executable content exists that is required to make Open Source applications functional. An example of this would be open sourced game engines, such as Doom, Heretic, and Descent. These game engines come with freely distributable shareware gamedata files.
In this case, the gamedata files can be packaged and included in Fedora, as long as the files meet the requirements for binary firmware .
Patented Software
If a package contains code covered by known patents, then you should seek a written patent grant (and include that grant inside the package) before submitting it for Fedora. This is especially important for GPL/LGPL licensed packages, because of the following clause (from GPLv2):
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
It isn't safe to assume that the patent holder permits royalty-free redistribution, you need to get it in writing.
Some emulators (applications which emulate another platform) are not permitted for inclusion in Fedora. These rules will help you determine if an emulator is acceptable for Fedora.
- Emulators which depend on firmware or ROM files to function may not be included in Fedora, unless the copyright holder(s) for the firmware/ROM files give clear permission for the firmware/ROM files to be distributed (either under a Fedora permissible license or under the Fedora firmware exception criteria). Note: This only covers the situation where an emulator will not run at all without firmware/ROM files. For example, emulators that compile and run, but ship with no game ROMs are not covered by this rule.
- Emulators must not ship with any ROM files (e.g. games) unless those ROM files are available under a Fedora permissible license and have been built from source code in the Fedora buildsystem.
- Emulators must not point to any third-party sites which provide firmware or ROM files that are distributed without the clear and explicit permission of their copyright holders.
- All other Fedora licensing and packaging rules apply to emulators.
QEMU ROMs
Whenever possible, ROMS implementing BIOS or Firmware for QEMU system targets must be built from source on the intended architecture. However, in many situations, this is not practical or possible. As a special exception for those situations where it is not practical or possible, prebuilt binary ROMS implementing BIOS or Firmware for QEMU system targets may be included in Fedora Packages, as long as the corresponding source code is also included in the Source RPM package.
Binary Firmware
Some applications, drivers, and hardware require binary-only firmware to boot Fedora or function properly. Fedora permits inclusion of these files as long as they meet the following requirements:
- The files are non-executable within the Fedora OS context (note: this means that the files cannot run on their own, not that they are just chmod -x)
- The files are not libraries, within the Fedora OS context.
- The files are standalone, not embedded in executable or library code (within the Fedora OS context).
- The files must be necessary for the functionality of open source code being included in Fedora OR to enable Fedora to boot on a specific device, where no other reliable and supported mechanisms exist.
- The files are available under an acceptable firmware license, which is included with the files in the packaging.
The Fedora Project considers a firmware license acceptable if:
- it allows some form of royalty-free use, subject to restrictions that the Fedora Project has determined are acceptable for firmware licenses (see below), and
- it does not restrict redistribution in ways that would make a software license unacceptable under Fedora licensing guidelines, except by:
- requiring that the firmware be redistributed only as incorporated in the redistributor's product (or as a maintenance update for existing end users of the redistributor's product), possibly limited further to those products of the redistributor that support or contain the hardware associated with the licensed firmware; and
- requiring the redistributor to pass on or impose conditions on users that are no more restrictive than those authorized by this Fedora firmware licensing policy.
A non-exhaustive list of restrictions on use that Fedora considers acceptable for firmware licenses are:
- any restrictions that are found in software licenses that are acceptable for Fedora;
- prohibitions on modification;
- prohibitions on reverse engineering, disassembly or decompilation;
- restricting use to use in conjunction with the hardware associated with the firmware license.
If you are unsure whether or not your files meet these requirements, ask on fedora-devel-list, and we will examine them for you.
The License tag for any firmware that disallows modification must be set to: "Redistributable, no modification permitted"
Firmware packages must be named <foo>-firmware, where <foo> is the driver or other hardware component that the firmware is for. In cases of firmware used to boot Fedora on a device, <foo> must be the type of device(s) that the firmware is intended for (e.g. raspberrypi).

Zimbabwe weighs cost of too many elephants
The 14,600-square-kilometre (5,600-square-mile) reserve is home to between 35,000 to 40,000 elephants, twice its capacity.The increase in the elephant population has led to higher demand for water at the park, home to over 100 different species of animals including the "Big Five": elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and the endangered rhinoceros.
Makuwe said the rise in the elephant population at the game reserve, established in 1949, had also led to the destruction of the environment."There is so much activity by the elephants that the vegetation has been affected negatively, the trees are no longer growing as fast as they should.""(The trees) are no longer producing as many seeds as they should. In the long term this will have a negative effect on the entire habitat of Hwange."He said the quality of the forage had gone down, with elephants stripping tree barks and digging roots for food."The African savanna is supposed to be a mosaic of trees and grasses. The moment you start to have more grasslands than trees it is not functioning as African savanna."Makuwe fears small animals and insects who live in the trees risk extinction."If you lose the trees and you are left with the grasslands, then definitely some of the species will be lost," he said.The authorities are yet to find a solution."Some people advocate to let nature take its course ... (but) we are yet to find a method which can convince all the people to accept and bring down the (elephant) population," Makuwe added.With tourists, who have shunned the country over the years, slowly returning, there is little incentive to cull the main attraction. In the meantime, Tom Milliken, of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), said elephants in Hwange were suffering greatly due to the water shortages."This is the worst time of the year for elephants and we still have a month before the rains come," he told AFP. "Elephants have most stress this time of the year when there is no water."

Examples: = -- replace the current subterm by a term equated to it in one of the hypotheses (if such a term exists) (= x) -- replace the current subterm by x, assuming that the prover can show that they are equal (= (+ x y) z) -- replace the term (+ x y) by the term z inside the current subterm, assuming that the prover can prove (equal (+ x y) z) from the current top-level hypotheses or that this term or (equal z (+ x y)) is among the current top-level hypotheses or the current governors (= & z) -- exactly the same as above, if (+ x y) is the current subterm (= (+ x y) z :hints :none) -- same as (= (+ x y) z), except that a new subgoal is created with the current goal's hypotheses and governors as its top-level hypotheses and (equal (+ x y) z) as its conclusion (= (+ x y) z 0) -- exactly the same as immediately above (= (p x) (p y) :equiv iff :otf-flg t :hints (("Subgoal 2" :BY FOO) ("Subgoal 1" :use bar))) -- same as (= (+ x y) z), except that the prover uses the indicated values for otf-flg and hints, and only propositional (iff) equivalence is used (however, it must be that only propositional equivalence matters at the current subterm)If terms
General Form: (= &optional x y &rest keyword-args)
x and
y are supplied, then replace
x by
y inside the
current subterm if they are ``known'' to be ``equal''. Here
``known'' means the following: the prover is called as in the
command (using
keyword-args) to prove
(equal x y), except that a
keyword argument
:equiv is allowed, in which case
(equiv x y) is
proved instead, where
equiv is that argument. (See below for how
governors are handled.)
keyword-args is either a single non-keyword or is a list
of the form
((kw-1 x-1) ... (kw-n x-n)), where each
kw-i is one of
the keywords
:hints. Here
:equiv defaults to
equal if the argument is not supplied or is
nil, and otherwise
should be the name of an ACL2 equivalence relation.
:Otf-flg and
:hints give directives to the prover, as explained above and in the
documentation for the
prove command; however, no prover call is made
:hints is a non-
nil atom or if
keyword-args is a single
non-keyword (more on this below).
Remarks on defaults
(1) If there is only one argument, say
a, then
x defaults to the
current subterm, in the sense that
x is taken to be the current
subterm and
y is taken to be
(2) If there are at least two arguments, then
x may be the symbol
&, which then represents the current subterm. Thus,
(= a) is
equivalent to
(= & a). (Obscure point: actually,
& can be in any
package, except the keyword package.)
(3) If there are no arguments, then we look for a top-level
hypothesis or a governor of the form
(equal c u) or
(equal u c),
c is the current subterm. In that case we replace the current
subterm by
As with the
prove command, we allow goals to be given ``bye''s in
the proof, which may be generated by a
:hints keyword argument in
keyword-args. These result in the creation of new subgoals.
A proof is attempted unless the
:hints argument is a non-
atom other than :
none, or unless there is one element of
keyword-args and it is not a keyword. In that case, if there are
any hypotheses in the current goal, then what is attempted is a
proof of the implication whose antecedent is the conjunction of the
current hypotheses and governors and whose conclusion is the
equal term.
Notes: (1) It is allowed to use abbreviations in the hints.
(2) The keyword :
none has the special role as a value of
hints that is shown clearly in an example above. (3) If there
are governors, then the new subgoal has as additional hypotheses the
current governors.
same as
(lisp x)
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example: (acl2-wrap (pe :here))Same as
General Form: (acl2-wrap form)
(lisp form). This is provided for interface tools that
want to be able to execute the same form in raw Lisp, in the
proof-checker, or in the ACL2 top-level loop
add an abbreviation
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
(add-abbreviation v (* x y)) causes future occurrences of
(* x y) to be printed as
(? v), until (unless) a corresponding
invocation of
remove-abbreviations occurs. In this case we say that
v ``abbreviates''
(* x y).
General Form: (add-abbreviation var &optional raw-term)Let
var be an abbreviation for
raw-term, if
raw-term is supplied,
else for the current subterm. Note that
var must be a variable that
does not already abbreviate some term.
A way to think of abbreviations is as follows. Imagine that
whenever an abbreviation is added, say
v abbreviates
expr, an entry
v to
expr is made in an association list, which we will
call ``
*abbreviations-alist*''. Then simply imagine that
? is a
function defined by something like:
(defun ? (v) (let ((pair (assoc v *abbreviations-alist*))) (if pair (cdr pair) (error ...))))Of course the implementation isn't exactly like that, since the ``constant''
*abbreviations-alist* actually changes each time an
add-abbreviation instruction is successfully invoked. Nevertheless,
if one imagines an appropriate redefinition of the ``constant''
*abbreviations-alist* each time an
add-abbreviation is invoked, then
one will have a clear model of the meaning of such an instruction.
The effect of abbreviations on output is that before printing a
term, each subterm that is abbreviated by a variable
v is first
replaced by
(? v).
The effect of abbreviations on input is that every built-in
proof-checker command accepts abbreviations wherever a term is
expected as an argument, i.e., accepts the syntax
(? v) whenever
abbreviates a term. For example, the second argument of
add-abbreviation may itself use abbreviations that have been defined
by previous
add-abbreviation instructions.

Notice that unlike
prove, the arguments to
bash are spread out, and
are all hints.
Note: All forcing rounds will be skipped (unless there are more
than 15 subgoals generated in the first forcing round, an injustice
that should be rectified by the next release).
prove the current goal using bdds
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: bdd (bdd :vars nil :bdd-constructors (cons) :prove t :literal :all)
The general form is as shown in the latter example above, but with
any keyword-value pairs omitted and with values as described for the
bdd hint; see hints.
This command simply calls the theorem prover with the indicated bdd
hint for the top-level goal. Note that if
:prove is
t (the
default), then the proof will succeed entirely using bdds or else
it will fail immediately. See bdd.

Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example: (bookmark final-goal)Run the instructions in
General Form: (bookmark name &rest instruction-list)
instruction-list (as though this were a
call of
do-all; see the documentation for
do-all), but first insert
a begin bookend with the given name and then, when the instructions
have been completed, insert an end bookend with that same name. See
the documentation of
comm for an explanation of bookends and how
they can affect the display of instructions.
split into two cases
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example: (casesplit (< x y)) -- assuming that we are at the top of the conclusion, add (< x y) as a new top-level hypothesis in the current goal, and create a subgoal identical to the current goal except that it has (not (< x y)) as a new top-level hypothesisWhen the current subterm is the entire conclusion, this instruction adds
General Form: (casesplit expr &optional use-hyps-flag do-not-flatten-flag)
expr as a new top-level hypothesis, and create a subgoal
identical to the existing current goal except that it has the
negation of
expr as a new top-level hypothesis. See also
The optional arguments control the use of governors and the
``flattening'' of new hypotheses, as we now explain.
The argument
use-hyps-flag is only of interest when there are
governors. (To read about governors, see the documentation for the
hyps). In that case, if
use-hyps-flag is not supplied or is
nil, then the description above is correct; but otherwise, it is not
expr but rather it is
(implies govs expr) that is added as a new
top-level hypothesis (and whose negation is added as a top-level
hypothesis for the new goal), where
govs is the conjunction of the
do-not-flatten-flag is supplied and not
nil, then that is
all there is to this command. Otherwise (thus this is the default),
when the claimed term (first argument) is a conjunction (
and) of
terms and the
claim instruction succeeds, then each (nested)
conjunct of the claimed term is added as a separate new top-level
hypothesis. Consider the following example, assuming there are no
(casesplit (and (and (< x y) (integerp a)) (equal r s)) t)Three new top-level hypotheses are added to the current goal, namely
(< x y),
(integerp a), and
(equal r s). In that case, only
one hypothesis is added to create the new goal, namely the negation
(and (< x y) (integerp a) (equal r s)). If the negation of this
term had been
claimed, then it would be the other way around: the
current goal would get a single new hypothesis while the new goal
would be created by adding three hypotheses.
Note: It is allowed to use abbreviations in the hints.
change to another goal.
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: (cg (main . 1)) -- change to the goal (main . 1) cg -- change to the next-to-top goalSame as
General Form: (CG &OPTIONAL goal-name)
(change-goal goal-name t), i.e. change to the indicated
and move the current goal to the end of the goal stack.
change to another goal.
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: (change-goal (main . 1)) -- change to the goal (main . 1) change-goal -- change to the next-to-top goalChange to the goal with the name
General Form: (change-goal &optional goal-name end-flg)
goal-name, i.e. make it the
current goal. However, if
goal-name is
nil or is not supplied, then
it defaults to the next-to-top goal, i.e., the second goal in the
stack of goals. If
end-flg is supplied and not
nil, then move the
current goal to the end of the goal stack; else merely swap it with
the next-to-top goal. Also see documentation for
add a new hypothesis
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: (claim (< x y)) -- attempt to prove (< x y) from the current top-level hypotheses and if successful, then add (< x y) as a new top-level hypothesis in the current goal (claim (< x y) :otf-flg t :hints (("Goal" :induct t))) -- as above, but call the prover using the indicated values for the otf-flg and hints (claim (< x y) 0) -- as above, except instead of attempting to prove (< x y), create a new subgoal with the same top-level hypotheses as the current goal that has (< x y) as its conclusion (claim (< x y) :hints :none) -- same as immediately aboveThis command creates a new subgoal with the same top-level hypotheses as the current goal but with a conclusion of
General Form: (claim expr &rest rest-args)
expr. If
rest-args is a non-empty list headed by a non-keyword, then there
will be no proof attempted for the new subgoal. With that possible
rest-args should consist of keyword arguments. The
keyword argument
:do-not-flatten controls the ``flattening'' of new
hypotheses, just as with the
casesplit command (as described in its
documentation). The remaining
rest-args are used with a call the
prove command on the new subgoal, except that if
:hints is a non-
atom, then the prover is not called -- rather, this is the same as
the situation described above, where
rest-args is a non-empty list
headed by a non-keyword.
Notes: (1) Unlike the
casesplit command, the
command is completely insensitive to governors. (2) It is allowed to
use abbreviations in the hints. (3) The keyword :
none has the
special role as a value of :
hints that is shown clearly in an
example above.
display instructions from the current interactive session
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: comm (comm 10)Prints out instructions in reverse order. This is actually the same as
General Form: (comm &optional n)
(commands n t) -- or,
(commands nil t) if
n is not supplied. As
explained in the documentation for
commands, the final argument of
causes suppression of instructions occurring between so-called
``matching bookends,'' which we now explain.
A ``begin bookend'' is an instruction of the form
(COMMENT :BEGIN x . y).Similarly, an ``end bookend'' is an instruction of the form
(COMMENT :END x' . y').The ``name'' of the first bookend is
x and the ``name'' of the
second bookend is
x'. When such a pair of instructions occurs in
the current state-stack, we call them ``matching bookends'' provided
that they have the same name (i.e.
x equals
x') and if no other
begin or end bookend with name
x occurs between them. The idea now
is that
comm hides matching bookends together with the instructions
they enclose. Here is a more precise explanation of this
``hiding''; probably there is no value in reading on!
comm instruction hides bookends in the following manner. (So does
comment instruction when its second optional argument is supplied
and non-
nil.) First, if the first argument
n is supplied and not
nil, then we consider only the last
n instructions from the
state-stack; otherwise, we consider them all. Now the resulting
list of instructions is replaced by the result of applying the
following process to each pair of matching bookends: the pair is
removed, together with everything in between the begin and end
bookend of the pair, and all this is replaced by the ``instruction''
("***HIDING***" :COMMENT :BEGIN name ...)where
(comment begin name ...) is the begin bookend of the pair.
Finally, after applying this process to each pair of matching
bookends, each begin bookend of the form
(comment begin name ...)
that remains is replaced by
("***UNFINISHED***" :COMMENT :BEGIN name ...) .

switch a hypothesis with the conclusion, negating both
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Example: (contrapose 3)The (optional) argument
General Form: (contrapose &optional n)
n should be a positive integer that does
not exceed the number of hypotheses. Negate the current conclusion
and make it the
nth hypothesis, while negating the current
hypothesis and making it the current conclusion. If no argument is
supplied then the effect is the same as for
(contrapose 1).
Note: By ``negate'' we mean an operation that replaces
nil by
nil for any other explicit value
(not x) by
x, and any other
(not x).
move top-level hypotheses to the conclusion
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: demote -- demote all top-level hypotheses (demote 3 5) -- demote hypotheses 3 and 5For example, if the top-level hypotheses are

y and the
conclusion is
z, then after execution of
demote, the conclusion will

General Form: (demote &rest hyps-indices)Eliminate the indicated (top-level) hypotheses, but replace the conclusion
conc with

hyps is the
conjunction of the hypotheses that were eliminated. If no arguments
are supplied, then all hypotheses are demoted, i.e.
demote is the
same as
(demote 1 2 ... n) where
n is the number of top-level
Note: You must be at the top of the conclusion in order to use
this command. Otherwise, first invoke
top. Also,
demote fails if
there are no top-level hypotheses or if indices are supplied that
are out of range.
move to the indicated subterm
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: (DIVE 1) -- assign the new current subterm to be the first argument of the existing current subterm (DIVE 1 2) -- assign the new current subterm to be the result of first taking the 1st argument of the existing current subterm, and then the 2nd argument of thatFor example, if the current subterm is
(* (+ a b) c),then after
(dive 1) it is
(+ a b).If after that, then
(dive 2) is invoked, the new current subterm
will be
b.Instead of
(dive 1) followed by
(dive 2), the same current subterm
could be obtained by instead submitting the single instruction
(dive 1 2).
General Form: (dive &rest naturals-list)If
naturals-list is a non-empty list
(n_1 ... n_k) of natural
numbers, let the new current subterm be the result of selecting the
n_1-st argument of the current subterm, and then the
n_2-th subterm
of that, ..., finally the
n_k-th subterm.
Dive is related to the command

Note: If
do-all ``fails'', then the failure is hard if and only if
the last instruction it runs has a hard ``failure''.

Examples: (dv 1) -- assign the new current subterm to be the first argument of the existing current subterm (dv 1 2) -- assign the new current subterm to be the result of first taking the 1st argument of the existing current subterm, and then the 2nd argument of thatFor example, if the current subterm is

(dv 2) is invoked, the new current subterm
will be

attempt an equality (or congruence-based) substitution
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER
Examples: (equiv (* x y) 3) -- replace (* x y) by 3 everywhere inside the current subterm, if their equality is among the top-level hypotheses or the governors (equiv x t iff) -- replace x by t everywhere inside the current subterm, where only propositional equivalence needs to be maintained at each occurrence of xSubstitute new for old everywhere inside the current subterm, provided that either (relation old new) or (relation new old) is among the top-level hypotheses or the governors (possibly by way of backchaining and/or refinement; see below). If relation is
General form: (equiv old new &optional relation)
nil or
is not supplied, then it defaults to
equal. See also the command
which is much more flexible. Note that this command fails if no
substitution is actually made.
Note: No substitution takes place inside explicit values. So for
example, the instruction
(equiv 3 x) will cause
3 to be replaced by
x if the current subterm is, say,
(* 3 y), but not if the current
subterm is
(* 4 y) even though
4 = (1+ 3).
The following remarks are quite technical and mostly describe a
certain weak form of ``backchaining'' that has been implemented for
equiv in order to support the
= command. In fact neither the term
(relation old new) nor the term
(relation new old) needs to be
explicitly among the current ``assumptions'', i.e., the top-level
hypothesis or the governors. Rather, there need only be such an
assumption that ``tells us''
(r old new) or
(r new old), for some
equivalence relation
r that refines
relation. Here, ``tells us''
means that either one of the indicated terms is among those
assumptions, or else there is an assumption that is an implication
whose conclusion is one of the indicated terms and whose hypotheses
(gathered up by appropriately flattening the first argument of the
implies term) are all among the current assumptions.

General Forms:

(exit event-name &optional rule-classes do-it-flg) Exit, and store an event.
exit returns you to the ACL2 loop. At a later time,
(verify) may be executed to get back into the same proof-checker
state, as long as there hasn't been an intervening use of the
proof-checker (otherwise see
When given one or more arguments as shown above,
exit still returns
you to the ACL2 loop, but first, if the interactive proof is
complete, then it attempts create a
defthm event with the specified
event-name and
rule-classes (which defaults to
(:rewrite) if not
supplied). The event will be printed to the terminal, and then
normally the user will be queried whether an event should really be
created. However, if the final optional argument
do-it-flg is
supplied and not
nil, then an event will be made without a query.
For example, the form
(exit top-pop-elim (:elim :rewrite) t)causes a
defthm event named
top-pop-elim to be created with
(:elim :rewrite), without a query to the user (because

event is successfully created or if the instruction is simply
otherwise it will be ``soft''. See the documentation for
for an explanation of hard and soft ``failures''. An obscure but
potentially important fact is that if the ``failure'' is hard, then
the error signal is a special signal that the top-level interactive
loop can interpret as a request to exit. Thus for example, a
sequencing command that turns an error triple

This command replaces the hypothesis corresponding to given index,
which should be of the form

the replacement hypothesis will appear as the final hypothesis after
this command is executed.

Their win over New Mills on Saturday took Quakers into third and they can go above second-placed Warrington on goal difference with a victory tonight in what is the first of three midweek games in March.
All three are at Heritage Park, with next week's match being the biggest of the season as the visitors will be top-of-the-table Curzon Ashton, who suffered a slight setback on Monday evening.
They were held 0-0 at home by Northwich Victoria - where Quakers travel to on Saturday - so now hold a ten-point lead over Darlington having played the same number of fixtures.
Martin Gray hopes to eat into that lead tonight against Birkenhead-based opposition, though the manager says his squad requires strengthening.
An injury to centre-back Chris Hunter combined with Alan White's suspension leaves Darlington short on numbers and Gray said: "I'll be speaking to the chairman because we might have to bring one or two players in. We're thin on the ground.
"I'll be speaking to a couple of people and we've already got one or two targets.
"We've got 17 players, that's all we have, and that includes two goalkeepers. That's the way we run our club.
"I'll be speaking to our chief scout and we'll have a talk about some players."
Hunter sustained an ankle injury on Saturday which will sideline him for a couple of weeks while centre-back partner White this evening begins a two-match ban for reaching ten cautions.
Gary Brown and Joe Tait, last season's successful centre-back pairing, are likely to revive their partnership with Stephen Harrison returning at right-back after being dropped on Saturday.
Tonight's game is one of eight this month, though Gray is confident his players can cope with the schedule.
"They're fit lads and they look after themselves," he said. "We said after Saturday's game that they need to look after themselves and start preparing for Wednesday.
"They can have a night out at the end of the season, but right now they need to focus on these games and to be fair they do.
"They're a good bunch, they're professional in their mentality."
Terry Galbraith got both of Quakers' goals on Saturday, and having scored a penalty in the win at Radcliffe Borough recently it means he has scored three of the team's last six goals.
Gray added: "Terry got himself into a good position, finding space at the back stick as a left-back, after a great cross by Stephen Thompson, scoring first-time.
"And we're always confident when he takes penalties so it's nice to see someone different scoring for a change."
