Major Section: RELEASE-NOTES
Once again
ld only takes one required argument, as the
bind-flg has
been deleted.
Three commands have been added in the spirit of
Pe! is
similar to
pe but it prints all events with the given name, rather
than just the most recent. The command
pf prints the corollary
formula corresponding to a name or rune. The command
pl (print
lemmas) prints rules whose top function symbol is the given name.
See pe!, see pf, and see pl.
Book naming conventions have been changed somewhat. The
.lisp extension is now prohibited! Directories are
supported, including a notion of ``connected book directory''.
See book-name. Also, the second argument of
certify-book is
now optional, defaulting to
Compilation is now supported inside the Acl2 loop. See comp and see set-compile-fns.
The default color is now part of the Acl2 world;
Ld-color is no longer an
ld special.
Instead, colors are events; see the documentation for
blue, and
A table exists for controlling whether Acl2 prints comments when it
forces hypotheses of rules; see
force-table. Also, it is now
possible to turn off the forcing of assumptions by disabling the
definition of force; see force.
The event
defconstant is no longer supported, but a very similar
defconst, has been provided in its place. See defconst.
The event for defining congruence relations is now
Patterns are now allowed in
:expand hints. See the documentation
:expand inside the documentation for hints.
We have improved the way we report rules used by the simplifier. All runes of the same type are reported together in the running commentary associated with each goal, so that for example, executable counterparts are listed separately from definitions, and rewrite rules are listed separately from linear rules. The preprocessor now mentions ``simple'' rules; see simple.
The mechanism for printing warning messages for new rewrite rules,
related to subsumption, now avoids worrying about nonrecursive
function symbols when those symbols are disabled. These messages
have also been eliminated for the case where the old rule is a
definition rule.
Backquote has been modified so that it can usually provide predictable results when used on the left side of a rewrite rule.
Time statistics are now printed even when an event fails.
The Acl2 trace package has been modified so that it prints using the
values of the Lisp globals
*print-level* and
Table has been modified so that the
:clear option lets you replace
the entire table with one that satisfies the
val and key guards (if
any); see table.
We have relaxed the translation rules for
:measure hints to
so that the the same rules apply to these terms that apply to terms
defthm events. In particular, in
:measure hints
mv is treated
just like
list, and
state receives no special handling.
The loop-stopper test has been relaxed. The old test required that every new argument be strictly less than the corresponding old argument in a certain term-order. The new test uses a lexicographic order on term lists instead. For example, consider the following rewrite rule.
(equal (variable-update var1 val1 (variable-update var2 val2 vs)) (variable-update var2 val2 (variable-update var1 val1 vs)))This rule is permutative. Now imagine that we want to apply this rule to the term
(variable-update u y (variable-update u x vs)).Since the actual corresponding to both
var1 and
var2 is
u, which
is not strictly less than itself in the term-order, this rule would
fail to be applied in this situation when using the old test.
However, since the pair
(u x) is lexicographically less than the
(u y) with respect to our term-order, the rule is in fact
applied using our new test.
Messages about events now contain a space after certain left parentheses, in order to assist emacs users. For example, the event
(defthm abc (equal (+ (len x) 0) (len x)))leads to a summary containing the line
Form: ( DEFTHM ABC ...)and hence, if you search backwards for ``
(defthm abc'', you won't
stop at this message.
More tautology checking is done during a proof; in fact, no goal
printed to the screen, except for the results of applying
:use and
:by hints or the top-level goals from an induction proof, are known
to Acl2 to be tautologies.
ld-query-control-alist may now be used to suppress printing of
queries; see ld-query-control-alist.
Warning messages are printed with short summary strings, for example
the string ``
Use'' in the following message.
Acl2 Warning [Use] in DEFTHM: It is unusual to :USE an enabled :REWRITE or :DEFINITION rule, so you may want to consider disabling FOO.At the end of the event, just before the time is printed, all such summary strings are printed out.
The keyword command
:u has been introduced as an abbreviation for
max. Printing of query messages is suppressed by
The keyword
:cheat is no longer supported by any event form.
Some irrelevant formals are detected; see irrelevant-formals.
A bug in the application of metafunctions was fixed: now if the output of a metafunction is equal to its input, the application of the metafunction is deemed unsuccessful and the next metafunction is tried.
An example has been added to the documentation for equivalence to suggest how to make use of equivalence relations in rewriting.
The following Common Lisp functions have been added to Acl2:
string-upcase, and
A documentation section called
proof-checker has been added for the
interactive facility, whose documentation has been slightly
improved. See in particular the documentation for

are now permitted in books. These are:

Escaping Cuba On A Windsurfing Board
Cuban windsurfer missing after attempting to cross Florida Straits
KEY WEST, Florida Thu Feb 20, 2014 6:58pm EST
(Reuters) - Three Cuban migrants attempted to windsurf across the Florida Straits to reach the United States on Tuesday, but only one is known to have reached dry land.
A second was rescued at sea by a fisherman Thursday morning. The U.S. Coast Guard continued late Thursday to search for the third migrant.
Henry Vergara Negrin, 24, said he left Jibacoa, Cuba, near Havana at 9 a.m. Tuesday with two companions on separate boards, according to a report by the Key West, Florida, police.
Jibacoa is a fishing village in the Mayabeque province of Cuba about 97 miles south of Key West.
Negrin came ashore at Key West's luxury Reach Resort nine and a half hours later. Hotel guests and the hotel's beach bartender helped him to a lounge chair where the staff took care of him, hotel spokeswoman Lisa Cole told Reuters.
"They made sure he was comfortable, got him some towels, water. They said he looked exhausted," Cole said.
Negrin is the first reported Cuban windsurfer to make the treacherous crossing in two decades. A couple of windsurfer cases were documented during a mass exodus of Cubans in 1994 known as the "rafter crisis."
Many Cuban have died trying to cross the Straits as they flee their communist-ruled homeland."

"Migrant windsurfs to U.S. from Cuba
BY ADAM LINHARDT Citizen Staff
A Cuban migrant windsurfed from Cuba to Key West Tuesday, but two other windsurfers he was with were apparently lost in the Gulf Stream about 60 miles south of the Florida Keys, according to Key West police and the Coast Guard.
Henry Hugo Vergara Negrin, 24, came ashore at The Reach Resort, 1435 Simonton St., at 6:35 p.m. and told police he and the others left Jibacoa, Cuba, at 9 a.m. Tuesday bound for the U.S. on windsurfing boards.
Jibacoa is a fishing village in the Mayabeque Province of Cuba on the island nation's northwest coastline.
Coast Guard Cutter Key Biscayne from Key West and the Miami-based Bernard C. Webber Cutter, as well as a Coast Guard twin-engine HC-144 Ocean Sentry search plane, also from Miami, began searching for the other two windsurfers about 7 p.m. Tuesday, said Sector Key West spokesman Ensign Peter Bermont.
There are also fast response boats from Sector Key West patrolling the Keys shoreline in case the other two made it to shore elsewhere, Bermont said.
Negrin told police the other two men were known to him as Amando and Dwarta, but he reportedly did not know or did not provide their last names.
"We're saturating the search area," Bermont said. "He said he lost sight of them approximately 60 nautical miles south of Key West. Part of our search pattern includes following the Gulf Stream drift pattern as well as following the route of the one we know made it ashore."
Negrin was treated briefly Tuesday night at Lower Keys Medical Center after his 9 1/2-hour journey for blisters on his hands before being turned over to U.S. Custom and Border Patrol agents, who processed him at the CBP station in Marathon and then released on his own recognizance, said spokeswoman Elee Erice.
Negrin received aid from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in Miami after he was released from the CBP station in Marathon, said Francisco Figueroa of the Church World Service resettlement agency."
More at: http://keysnews.com/node/53658
He may have worked at Breezes Jibacoa as they have windsurfing there. I recall another fellow who windsurfed to the USA from Cuba worked at a windsurfing concession in Cuba. You would need considerable windsurfing skill to make it to Key West in the conditions the Straits of Florida can throw out. It looks like the wind may have been easterly for some of the time in the low 20's making the crossing a beam reach. This is based on NWS records near Key West and Weatherunderground archive records for Havana and Varadero, Cuba. Jibacoa falls between these two places. There were points when the wind swung to the northeast likely creating short wavelength steep waves impeding progress.

Stories of other windsurfers who made the crossing in the 1990's.
"3 Cubans Windsurf To Freedom
May 01, 1994|By Knight-Ridder/Tribune.
MIAMI Three Cuban refugees who escaped the island on sailboards glided for 12 hours as sharks circled them-then, exhausted, they stretched out and took naps. Three hours later, at 3 a.m. Wednesday, they heard the rumble of a boat and sent up a flare. It was a group of American fishermen on their way back from a tournament in Cozumel.
"I was thinking, `Please, let a boat come by and pick us up. Enough with the heroism,"' said Alexander Morales, 21, a professional windsurfer. "And the boat did come." Hitching a ride with the fishermen, Morales, Carlos Lopez Gonzalez, 26, and Roberto Gonzalez Ortiz, 22, arrived in Key West Wednesday morning.
The men first concocted their plan more than two months ago. They rigged their sailboards for the trip across the Florida Straits with special seats, similar to swings, and sturdy sails. And they trained every day, at least four hours a day, often longer. But they lost a powerful ally the moment they left the coast of Santa Fe, their hometown, at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. The wind died, leaving them idle and impatient for long stretches. The sharks edged in closer. At night, the predators never left them alone.
"It's very risky, very tiring," said Morales, who competed on Cuba's windsurfing team. "You are nothing compared to the sea. So insignificant." Cuba's border guards never suspected a thing. Windsurfers sail along the Santa Fe coast all the time. "We had done this all our lives, so the border guards couldn't say anything to us," Morales said. Just to be safe, he and the others hugged Cuba's coastline as they sailed toward Mariel. They each carried a liter of water. Twenty miles offshore, they changed course and headed to Key West. They didn't feel safe from Cuban authorities until nightfall.
Their conditioning served them well: During 12 hours of non-stop windsurfing, their feet and hands throbbed, but they didn't think about the pain. Only at midnight, after they nearly collapsed from fatigue, did they let down the sails to rest. "I had trained my whole life for this," Morales said. The men aren't alone. Three other Cubans have windsurfed their way to South Florida this year, according to the Church World Service resettlement agency.
On Friday, Morales was reunited with his father, Alexander Morales. Father and son hadn't seen each other since 1979. Morales' mother and half his family are still in Cuba. "That's a small little board, 3 inches of width. You have nothing to protect yourself with," Morales' father said. "It's unbelievable.""
"Boardsailing: Freedom Jiber
Outside magazine, May 1994
How long had he planned the daring crossing, reporters wanted to know last February. Eugenio Maderal Roman, who'd just arrived in Marathon, Florida, after a nine-hour, 110-mile boardsailing odyssey from Cuba, hadn't planned it at all. "If I'd thought about it twice, I wouldn't have done it," said Roman, a 21-year-old boardsailing instructor at the Club Tropical hotel in Cuba's Varadero Beach resort area. Actually, Roman knew it was possible because a boyhood friend had made a similar journey in 1990, but he never seriously considered such an insane stunt. "I went surfing, to catch some air," said Roman, who launched from his girlfriend's house on Varadero Beach at 1 P.M. on February 8 and headed for his aunt's place a few miles east of there. But the winds were unfavorable for a family visit, so Roman sailed out to sea instead--and he kept sailing. Navigating first by the sun and later by the North Star, he rode the steady eight- to 15-knot easterlies until he was five miles off Marathon. When the winds died, he stood on his board and rowed with his mast until he rolled up, exhausted, on the beach. Roman, who hopes to be granted political asylum in the United States, said, "Something was calling me.""
"April 23, 1990 A New Dawn
Lester Moreno Perez fled Cuba by boardsailing toward Florida under cover of darkness
by Sam Moses
In the annals of great escapes, the flight by 17-year-old Lester Moreno Perez from Cuba to the U.S. surely must rank as one of the most imaginative. At 8:30 on the night of Thursday, March 1, Lester crept along the beach in Varadero, a resort town on the north coast of Cuba, and launched his sailboard into the shark-haunted waters of the Straits of Florida. Guided first by the stars and then by the hazy glow from concentrations of electric lights in towns beyond the horizon, Lester sailed with 20-knot winds, heading for the Florida Keys, 90 miles away.
Two hours past daybreak on Friday, Lester was sighted by the Korean crew of the Tina D, a Bahamian-registered freighter. The boom on his craft was broken, and he was just barely making headway, 30 miles south of Key West. The astonished crew pulled Lester aboard, fed him spicy chicken and white rice, and then radioed the U.S. Coast Guard, which sent the patrol boat Fitkinak to take him into custody. After five days in the Krome Detention Center in Miami while paperwork was being processed, he was issued a visa by U.S. immigration officials and released into the welcoming arms of his relatives.
Except for his rich imagination and broad streak of courage, Lester could be any 17-year-old who decides to leave home, He was raised in the shoreside town of Varadero, the second-oldest of five children in his family. "As soon as I started thinking a little bitwhen I was seven or eight years oldI wanted to come to America," he says. Independent thinking ran in the family; his grandfather, Urbino, had been imprisoned for attending a counterrevolutionary meeting early in Fidel Castro's regime and spent nearly five years in jail. Furthermore, Lester's sister Leslie, who had been on the national swim team and had traveled to several foreign countries, had told intriguing tales of life outside Cuba. Lester also did not like the idea of serving three years in the Cuban army and then facing the possibility of having his career chosen for him by the Communist Party. There was also trouble at home; he and his stepfather, Roberto, were at odds, mostly over politics. So Lester decided he wanted to go to America, not Angola.
When he was 10 years old, Lester taught himself to windsurf by hanging around the European and Canadian tourists who rented boards on the beach at Varadero. "If you made friends with them, they would sometimes let you use their equipment," he says. As he grew older and got better at the sport, he found he liked the isolation and freedom of the sea. "Sometimes I would sail for eight hours without stopping, and go very far out," he says. His windsurfing to freedom seemed destined."

They are focusing the search for the third windsurfer Armando, 28, in the Islamorada area.
"Following Negrin's arrival, the Coast Guard launched its search for the two others. Thursday, a boater found a man Negrin identified as Dwarta, 23, floating on a windsurfing board off Big Pine Key. Dwarta was suffering from exposure when picked up.
His location has the Coast Guard now focusing on Islamorada as the likely location for the third man based on tides and currents. Negrin identified that man as Amando, 28.
"If he's still on that board, then his chance of surviving increases significantly," said Coast Guard Ensign Peter Bermont.
He said that since Tuesday, the overall search with boats and planes had 20 specific searches covering more than 8,000 nautical miles."

I just saw an unconfirmed report and video of what was described as the rescue boat docking on Facebook that the third windsurfer, Amando, was found by the USCG off the Key West area yesterday at 5:30 pm. He was reportedly taken to the Lower Keys Medical Center in Key West for treatment. If this is true, I hope he makes a full, rapid recovery.

It is confirmed, the third windsurfer was recovered by the USCG on Friday.
"Cuban lost while windsurfing to Fla. found adrift
KEY WEST, Fla. -- The third and last Cuban migrant who disappeared while trying to windsurf across the Florida Straits has been found adrift.
Coast Guard officials found the man late Friday afternoon. He was barely able to speak. Coast Guardsman Petty Officer Third Class Alex Davis tells The Key West Citizen (http://bit.ly/1grZjWC ) the man would probably not have made it one more day. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is investigating and will determine whether the men will be taken back to Cuba.
The three migrants left Jibacoa, Cuba, on Tuesday. One made it to Key West more than nine hours later and told authorities that he lost sight of the others about 60 miles south of Key West. A second was found by a boater Thursday.

A few years (ago maybe 3) I met an excuban who said 20-30 years ago he fled Cuba on a windsurfer. I think he was on one tack until his harness broke the rope strap in the middle of the night. He then had to get into the water and replace it with the line from the other side. I think this was reported in the news at that time. He went on to become a pediatrician in Florida. He was interested in learning to kiteboarder.

Participants are evaluated and treated in the National Eye Institute. Blood or other tissue samples (e.g., urine, stool, hair, saliva or cheek swab) may be collected for future laboratory studies.
|Condition or disease
|Eye Diseases
The National Eye Institute (NEI) is conducting a study to evaluate and provide standard treatment to participants with various diagnosed and undiagnosed ocular conditions.
Objectives: The primary objective of this protocol is to provide a reservoir of patients for enrollment into new research protocols throughout the NEI laboratories. Evaluating and treating participants will allow the NEI specialists to maintain their expertise and gain additional knowledge of the course of various eye disorders. The information obtained will allow for the evaluation of standard treatments of the studied eye diseases. This understanding may lead to ideas for future protocols. In some cases, blood or other biologic samples (including tear fluid, urine, saliva, hair, stool or a cheek swab) will be obtained for future laboratory studies.
Study Population: The number of participants to be enrolled has no logical upper limit, but will be set to 5,000 patients with ocular diseases and their unaffected first-degree relatives.
Design: This is an observational natural history study of multiple ocular diseases and their progression and physiology.
Outcome Measures: No formal outcomes will be measured; however the clinical assessments of enrolled participants can be used to measure the response to standard treatment. In addition, DNA samples obtained may be used to identify and verify causative mutations, which may help establish pathogenic mechanisms and genotype-phenotype correlations.

The micro-lending phenomenon that is Kiva.org intrigues me a great deal, because I've honestly never been sure how exactly it works and if it's really making a difference in the lives of people. So it was a pleasant surprise to find that it's cofounder, Jessica Jackley, was part of the Willow Creek Leadership Summit. If you don't know, Kiva's mission is connecting people through lending to aleviate poverty. By providing microfinancing to entrepreneurs in developing nations, those entrepreneurs have the funding they need to make their business a success.
It's a very interesting concept, because it's very different from what we typically see. It's not about aleviating poverty for people, it's equipping people to do it themselves. I am very much a believer in development vs. aid (in the sense that we just throw cash at a problem and hope it goes away), and it's refreshing to see that, so far in Kiva's case, it's working really well. To date, more than 48 million dollars have been loaned through Kiva by ordinary people, and so far, 98.6% of this has been paid back in full. The secret, Jackley believes, is trust. "When you're trust-based, you can get a lot more done. We believe if people are treated like we trust them, they most likely will [follow through.]" What Kivaand Jackley have seen so far is that entrepreneurs really are following through. Parents, now with a thriving small business, can buy clothes and pay their childrens' school fees. It's lead to improved health and better living conditions. It's very exciting stuff.
Jackley is definitely a young lady who believes in the innate goodness of people—and that people actually want to give sacrificially ("It's where a lot of our joy comes from," says Jackley). I really have no comment on that point, sufficed to say that she has a very charitable attitude, and that it's wonderful that Kiva's experiencing such phenomenal success.
What I see in something like Kiva is a great potential for those of us here in the developed world to love our neighbor in an exceedingly practical way, and one that we might not have otherwise.
Andrew Rugasira, Good African Coffee
Andrew Rugasira's session was Thinking Forward: Aid vs. Trade. The Founder and CEO of Good African Coffee, Rugasira, a graduate of the University of London (where he received an honors degree in Law & Economics from the School of Oriental and African studies), is incredibly passionate about seeing Africa taking a strong position in the world economy. He wants to change the perspective the world holds about Africa. And that means ending changing our mindset from aid to trade. Because, as Rugasira believes, handouts don't develop people and nations.
"There is no country in the world that was developed by handouts—so why is Africa different? Africans are looking for the same opportunities as an American, English [or] Indian entrepreneur. [We're] not looking for a handout."
The statistics are startling. Between 1970 and 2000, Africa received $400 billion in aid. And during that time, the GDP dropped and conditions worsened. Rather than making the situation better, it actually made it worse.
"[Aid] creates a culture of dependency. It undermines the integrity and dignity of recipient countries," says Rugasira.
"Integrity is being truthful about what you need to do to get out of a situation." Aid (in the sense that Rugasira is speaking of) completely undermines this. "People have lost faith in themselves. [They believe] that they can't do anything. That help only comes from outside… [And we want] the opportunity to bring quality products to the market and help Africans help themselves."
Rugasira's message is refreshing. I often struggle with the question of how much good are we really doing by doling out billions of dollars a year in foreign aid. When some countries have as much as 40 percent of their budget coming from aid, you know there's something wrong with the system. I think aid in the sense of emergency, life saving assistance is incredibly important and necessary, which is why I'm grateful for organizations like the Red Cross, World Vision and several others. But I think it's necessary that we look to assisting the poor around the world develop the skills required to not only aleviate poverty, but transform their society. That's why it's good that organizations like Good African Coffee and even Compassion exist.
We all know who Bono is, love him or hate him. And depending on the church, you won't be the least bit surprised to hear at least one or two U2 songs in the worship set.
Honestly, for Bono's part of the Summit, I'm not sure even how necessary it was. It didn't really add anything except a bit of Bono. There was one great line thrown out in his interview with Bill Hybels, though, so perhaps that's the reason he was there. In speaking about the Church's sudden ramp up to assist the poor, particularly with HIV/AIDS treatment, Bono said, "As a person who's really giving off about the Church, you have completely ruined it for me, because the Church has done incredible things, and… I'm taken aback. I think we referred to it [the Church] as the sleeping giant, but I didn't know the giant could run that fast. And there's no doubt in my mind that had the church not woken up on the issue of AIDS, we would not have two million Africans on retro-viral drugs. That simply would not have happened."
That was a nice, albeit backhanded, encouragement, I suppose. It was enjoyable to see Bill Hybels get a few digs in at Bono for not being involved in a local church.
And that is my big take-away from Bono's session at the Willow Creek Leadership Summit.

The single most important part of pre-service teacher preparation is student teaching. We believe that a rich field experience, where candidates can learn to examine and refine their teaching, is the direct result of building thoughtful and lasting partnerships with local schools and districts. We invite our local school partners to contact us for more information about professional development opportunities, support for mentor teachers, and grant projects that help us work together to prepare high quality teachers to enter the workforce. Current projects include the Yearlong Residency Program, the C0-Teaching Project, and our TRIO Project, a National Professional Development grant sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education.

As difficult as it was for the Kansas City Chiefs to play through the murder-suicide of linebacker Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend, it wasn't ordinary for the Carolina Panthers as they prepared for an opponent that was dealing with such tragedy.
"I ran into Coach (Romeo) Crennel before the game, and I could tell he was really emotional," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Sunday in a postgame phone conversation. "I told our guys that it was going to be an emotional game for them, and we had to match their emotional energy with our own emotional energy. That's definitely what we saw from them. Kudos to them."
Rivera said the lines of communication from the NFL, the Chiefs and the Panthers were open in terms of whether or not the game would be played. Once it was decided the Panthers would travel to Kansas City to play, it was all about getting Rivera's team prepared.
Rivera went on: "We would have liked to have won the football game. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. It's just so unfortunate (what occurred), but both sides had to play and do what we could to make the best of the situation."
Rivera, as a player with Chicago in 1990, said the Bears went through a turbulent emotional strain when defensive lineman Fred Washington was killed in a car accident late in the season. Rivera didn't draw on that when discussing things with his team, but he understood what Chiefs players and coaches and staffers could have been feeling.
"It's hard and emotional, and you go up and down with it," Rivera said.

Professor Emeritus, Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience
Dr. Faber, a neuroscientist, studies the basic mechanisms of synaptic transmission in the central nervous system and factors involved in the regulation of the strength of the synaptic connections between neurons. Synapses are the fundamental units of information-processing in the brain, and both the release of neurotransmitters and the responsiveness of the postsynaptic cells to those transmitters can be modified by patterns of activity or produced from within. This plasticity may involve short- or long-term modifications in the function and/or structure of synapses.
Dr. Faber and his colleagues use a number of experimental models, including identified neurons in the goldfish midbrain. Various techniques are used to study the regulation of synaptic transmission at identified central synapses and the goldfish's behavioral escape response. The lab complements cellular techniques with behavioral studies to investigate how neurons and neural circuits integrate sensory information and shape the resulting motor behavior. Recently, he has extended these studies to ask questions about modifications in synaptic transmission and nerve cell excitability in mouse models of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Huntington's disease.

After you run Boot Camp Assistant, your Mac starts up in Windows and launches an installer for Windows Support Software. This software delivers drivers to help your Mac run Windows.
In some cases, Boot Camp Assistant doesn't launch the installer automatically. If you see these symptoms when you use Windows, it might indicate that Windows Support Software wasn't installed successfully:
- An error message says that Apple Software Update has stopped working.
- One or more screen resolutions are missing or unavailable for your display in Windows.
- You can't adjust the brightness of your built-in display in Windows.
- Your Apple mouse, trackpad, or keyboard isn't working in Windows. (Note that Force Touch isn't designed to work in Windows.)
- You don't hear audio from the built-in speakers of your Mac in Windows.
- The built-in microphone or camera of your Mac isn't recognized in Windows.
To fix these issues, you can install the Windows Support Software manually.
Install Windows Support Software manually
If you experience the symptoms listed above — or if you know that Windows Support Software did not install through Boot Camp Assistant — you can run the installer with these steps.
Because Windows drivers haven't been installed at this point, you might find that a USB mouse makes navigation easier.
- Go to the OSXRESERVED partition, which is usually the D:\ drive.
- Open the BootCamp folder in the OSXRESERVED partition and run the Setup file. Make sure that you run Setup from within the BootCamp folder, and not from any other location.
- Follow the onscreen prompts to finish installation of Windows Support Software for Boot Camp.
If you prefer, you can type
D:\BootCamp\setup.exe in the command line to run the installer.

Q I've been noting for months the construction of what appears to be a light-rail connection from the Coliseum BART station to the Oakland airport. When will this be completed, how often will it run, and where will it go in the airport?
Allen Simon
Palo Alto
A By November or December, the automated train (no driver) will connect the BART station at the Oakland Coliseum with the airport on a mostly elevated guideway that spans the length of Hegenberger Road. It will likely charge a standard fare of $6 and make the trek directly to the airport in less than 8½ minutes, with vehicles departing every four minutes. The project will cost $484 million. Testing of trains began a couple of weeks ago.
Q Amtrak question. You up for it? A couple of years ago the Amtrak Coast Starlight stopped using the Richmond BART station. Not sure why, as there is no other way to access BART from this train. My question: Will the Coast Starlight use the new BART-Oakland airport station once the new tram starts up? Seems like such a good fit. BART connection, new airport tram, sports.
Rick Cory
A I agree, but Union Pacific Railroad says no. It discontinued the stop two years ago because of scheduling conflicts.
Q I wanted to know why gas prices in the Campbell area have dropped 30 cents a gallon in the past month but in Livermore and in the Tri-Valley area only 10 cents a gallon? Can't be competition? Zone pricing?
Kavin Michaelson
San Francisco
A This is one of those mysteries at the pump. Usually, prices in places such as Livermore are less expensive than in the South Bay, but occasionally it gets turned upside down. Since I live near Campbell and am paying $3.79 a gallon, I'm not complaining.
Q There is one place where being a road boulder deserves a ticket: the toll-carpool lanes on Interstate 680. I got caught behind someone going 55 mph on the southbound toll lane from Vallecitos Road to Mission Boulevard, and a convoy of angry cars piled up behind me. The other lanes were moving faster, but there was no legal way to get out of the lane except at a very few locations.
So I waited for one of those few locations and zipped around the road boulder on the right, getting it done as quickly as I could and then settling back down to 65. What happened next?
A cop with flashers! He pulled me over for going 81 mph while I did my passing maneuver. He apparently did not care about the quarter-mile worth of cars piled up behind the slow driver. It's my first and only "speeding ticket" in 15 years.
If people aren't planning to go near the limit in the toll lanes, they should not get in it in the first place. I think CHP pulled over the wrong guy.
P.S. I was driving a Tesla Roadster, a cop magnet if there ever was one.
John Gustafson
A I agree, but 81 mph? I would have stayed in the toll lane at 55.
Q I am curious about all the three-way signals on Bowers Avenue between El Camino Real and Monroe Street in Santa Clara. Is there a good reason why these signals are three-way? They are maddening! Hopefully you can use some of your clout to get these converted to regular four-way signals.
Frank Mangini
Santa Clara
A I hate three-way signals as well. The city has looked at converting lights from three-way to normal four-way signals in the past. But residents' concerns and desire to maintain on-street parking in front of their houses stopped those plans. Bowers is not wide enough to provide two lanes in each direction, a left-turn pocket and on-street parking without purchasing frontyards of properties near the intersection.
Q I am not impressed with the food at Levi's Stadium — hot dog, $6.50. On a bun that was hard.
Jerry Karp
Santa Clara
A Ouch.

Building expansion plans for bringing a Dick's Sporting Goods to Target Center won Beaufort County Development Review Team last week.
The decision means the developer, Stafford Properties Inc. of Atlanta, can file for construction permits with the county building office, said Tony Criscitiello, Beaufort County planning director.
Stafford Properties in December entered a lease agreement with Dick's, the United States' largest full-line sporting goods retail, to open a store in the Target Center on U.S. 278 east of S.C. 46.
For the Dick's, Stafford plans to add 10,000 square feet to the back of the building formerly occupied by Goody's, making it 40,000 square feet.
Also, Criscitiello said, the panel deferred action on Stafford's requests for development approvals for parking lot and U.S. 278 intersection changes. Stafford's plans include adding a U.S. 278 access point at the stop light for the Best Buy/Home Depot entrance.
"We approved it … just for the building," he said.
The project engineer, Andrews & Burgess, Inc., of Beaufort, is proposing some minor changes regarding parking, the front buffer and access that the team could take up as soon as Wednesday, Criscitiello said.
"But in respect to the Dick's Sporting Goods, the redevelopment of that space for the store, we approved that, so that no delay would be caused by dealing with the other issues," he said. "There was no reason to hold up Dick's Sporting Goods for one week (for the related projects)."
On Jan. 11, the Southern Beaufort County Corridor Review gave final design approvals for the expansion and a facade change. That cleared the way for development permitting.
Will Euhart, Stafford director of leasing and development, has said Dick's could open by Nov. 1, if not sooner.

We don't take that position to irritate people; we take that position because we believe in it. We believe in it, in part, in a spirit of enlightened self-interest, because the rights of each one of us are co-extensive with the rights of everyone who is arrested and prosecuted in the criminal courts. If we all don't enjoy the same rights, then no one enjoys any rights at all; some of us merely enjoy privilege.

Man Arrested After Pursuit in Eastern Sioux Falls
A pursuit through eastern Sioux Falls early Wednesday reached speeds of 75 miles per hour.
It began around 2am on East 41st Street near Southeastern Avenue when a vehicle passed a police car at a high rate of speed and almost went out of control.
Spokesman Sam Clemens says an officer followed the vehicle on Southeastern, 26th Street and Bahnson Avenue before losing sight of it. He says at times, the driver reached 75 miles per hour on Southeastern where the speed limit is 35 mph.
The officer was able to get a plate number, and about 45 minutes later, 22-year-old Marcus Steven Shields was located and arrested.
He is charged with a half-dozen offenses including aggravated eluding, DWI-first offense, driving with a suspended license and no insurance.

University of Illinois (U of I) research is showing that the baby pig can help provide answers to the study of infant brain development in predicting behavioral problems such as cognitive deficits, anxiety disorders, depression and autism.
Researchers are finding that baby pigs can be trained in traditional learning and memory tests that can directly benefit human health.
"Studies suggest that inadequate nutrition, stress and infection leave fingerprints in early brain development that can make a person more vulnerable to behavior disorders later in life," says Rodney Johnson, DVM, U of I professor of animal sciences and director of the Division of Nutritional Sciences. "We are interested in learning how the brain develops during this time and how cognitive ability is affected. Our goal is to understand how to promote brain and cognitive development, and minimize potential experiential influences that might hinder the process."
The use of the pig in neuroscience research is gaining in popularity because pigs anatomically resemble humans and many of their organs grow and develop similarly.
Pigs are also precocial, meaning they are born with well-developed sensory and motor systems, allowing them to be very mobile and weaned at an early age.
"Most important, the pig brain's growth spurt occurs perinatally – a little before and a little after birth," Johnson says. "In contrast, the rodent's brain growth spurt occurs after birth and the non-human primate's occurs before birth, making them less ideal to study and compare to humans."
The brain's rapid growth spurt involves a critical period of time, Johnson says.
"We know that if something goes wrong during this developmental period, the brain can be permanently altered," he says. "We believe that events occurring during this developmental period may underlie some of the behavioral problems that emerge later in life."
For the study, piglets were weaned at 2 days of age and provided a milk system that delivered 14 small meals a day to mimic the number of meals they'd receive from their mothers.
At 2 weeks of age, piglets were trained to find a milk reward in an eight-arm radial maze, a large version of models typically used to study rodent behavior. The eight arms of the maze came equipped with cups the exact size piglets fed from during the day. Seven bowls contained inaccessible milk and one bowl contained milk that was accessible. The goal was to teach the piglets how to find the accessible bowl of milk.
To create cues for the piglets, researchers covered the opening of each maze arm with a blue or white curtain. The piglets learned color cues to remember where to find milk. In the first test, accessible milk was behind the blue curtain.
"The piglets learned quickly after day one where to find their reward," Johnson says. "This simple associative learning task was not hard for them to complete.
"But then, we did a reversal learning test where the white curtain became the entrance to the cup of accessible milk. This was more complicated because the piglets had to learn to stop going to the blue and then associate white with milk. It required a greater cognitive load, but it was one that they learned over time."
Researchers also studied how peripheral immune activation affects cognitive processing. One group of piglets received an immunostimulant to mimic a common viral infection, which took pigs more time to complete the reversal learning test.
"When the immune system encounters an infectious agent, it responds and conveys information to the brain," he explains. "We were able to show that when the peripheral immune system conveyed information to the brain in the neonate, their cognitive abilities were hindered. That reveals another advantage of the neonatal piglet model."
The Johnson lab is using MRI imaging to study brain development in piglets from 2 weeks of age until sexual maturity or an adolescent stage.

To create an iconic visual presentation in the Milwaukee skyline and foster the economic growth of the city while also creating an exciting destination, the owner worked with Milwaukee-based Rinka Chung Architecture. According to the architect's website, the opulent yet restrained Moderne style was the biggest design theory for the facility, reminiscent of progress and forward momentum. "Visually, the glassy shaft is stretched even wider by adjacent vertical windows and slips delicately into the more dominant horizontal reticulation of the building. A flat, curved roofline appears to float above a continuous band of set-in glass."

Hi guys! Back from the dead to share my latest project. Sorry for the unceremonious departure, I have a number of drafted farewells that I never got around to posting but I could never commit myself to a real goodbye.
This first collection is a tribute to my favourite literary star crossed lovers Tristan and Iseult (specifically the Joseph Bedier pairing, it's absolutely necessary that they love each other because of the love potion you guys! It's so much more tragic!). Each piece is brought to life under the skilled workmanship of master tailors who hand-finish and hand-cut garments to minimize waste. My friend and production manager oversees a safe and humane workplace and works closely with our tailors to ensure quality. I hope you like it! I'm wearing my Iseult dress until it becomes one with my skin and I can no longer remove it.
All clothes pictured available here!

The research behind the report entitled Linux on the Desktop: Lessons from Mainstream Business Adoptionwas compiled via an online survey that polled 1,275 IT professionals from the U.K., U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries across Western Europe and the Nordics. 90 percent of the study's respondents had direct experience with desktop Linux deployment in their business.
According to Freeform Dynamics' analysis of the data, experienced users said that Linux on the desktop was best achieved when it was first targeted to groups of non-technical users. Transaction workers and general professional workers were seen as more than twice as likely to be primary targets for desktop Linux adoption than mobile and creative staff. A majority of the respondents indicated that Linux desktop deployments to these targeted groups was easier than anticipated.
Notable statistics of the study include:
- 71% of respondents indicated cost reduction as their primary driver for adoption.
- 35% stated the ease of securing the desktop was another primary driver
- 32% cited the lowering of overheads associated with maintenance and support in general were factors contributing to the benefit of desktop Linux adoption
- Those with experience of Linux desktop rollouts are 50% more likely to regard non-technical users such as general professional users and transaction workers as primary targets for Linux
- 58% of those with prior experience of a Linux desktop rollout see general professional users as primary targets
- 52% of those with prior experience of a Linux desktop rollout see transaction workers as primary targets.
- 32% of those with prior experience of a Linux desktop rollout see power users as primary targets.
- 47% of respondents said usability was the main consideration when evaluating or selecting a desktop Linux distribution for use in a business environment

A bill to help parents teach their kids about sex won committee approval on Monday after more than an hour of discussion that often veered into the perpetual debate over the role of schools versus parents in sex education.
The Senate Education Committee voted 4-2 on Monday to advance SB39 to the Senate floor. The bill would require the state school board to develop and offer optional online training to parents on how to educate their kids about sex. The bill would not change how sex education is taught in schools.
Bill sponsor Sen. Stuart Reid, R-Ogden, said schools have an important role when it comes to teaching kids about sex, "but there's also a role for the parents, and too often we abdicate that responsibility over to the educators and don't really accept that the first responsibility is with the parents."
He said he thought of the idea after the brouhaha last session over a bill, HB363, that would have scaled back sex education in Utah schools. Though the Legislature passed that bill, the governor ultimately vetoed it.
Reid said he felt the discussion last year was the wrong one, and he wanted to bring the conversation back this year to parental responsibility.
But speakers and lawmakers had varying opinions on the proposal Monday, with some supporting it and others criticizing it as impractical and still relying too much on the state.
Connor Boyack of the Libertas Institute said it shouldn't be schools' responsibility to educate parents, and it seems unnecessary to create such an online program when many organizations already offer materials online.
State Superintendent Martell Menlove also said the state school board opposes the bill. He said the bill would likely cost money to implement despite Reid's assertion that it wouldn't. For example, it could cost cash to notify parents about the program's availability twice a year as the bill proposes. Menlove also said it would be difficult for the board to create an online program appropriate for all students and parents.
It was a sentiment echoed by Sen. Patricia Jones, D-Holladay.
"I just feel like we're putting our good education people in a very awkward position because no matter what they come up with for the curriculum … it seems to me someone will not feel comfortable with what that is," Jones said.
In fact, a couple of years ago the State Office of Education created a slideshow presentation about contraception for sex education teachers to use in their classrooms, with the intention of ensuring consistency across the state. They pulled that slideshow, however, after some conservatives voiced objections, though schools are allowed, by law, to teach about contraception.
But others expressed enthusiastic support Monday for SB39, including a handful of students.
Timpview High School student Rachel Sybrowsky said her debate team has spent much time discussing the issue. She said any cost of developing such training for parents is well worth the money that would be saved by helping to prevent teen pregnancies and other problems.
"We don't believe sex education is the mutually exclusive right of parents or education," Sybrowsky said. "SB39 provides a choice."
Fellow Timpview High student Parker Christensen added that students might feel more free to ask questions at home than they would in a classroom.
Gayle Ruzicka, head of the conservative Utah Eagle Forum, said of the bill: "I just think it makes all the sense in the world. Why would we not make it easier for [parents] so they can just access it online."
Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Eagle Mountain, also voiced support, saying he admired Reid's approach to tackling the issue.
"Sometimes we talk about the proper role of government, and I don't think it should have ever been to perform sex education for our children, certainly not the way it's presented now…I think it's appropriate to take steps to bring it back," Madsen said.
But Reid said that the intention of his bill is not necessarily to replace sex education in schools.
Jones and Sen. Howard Stephenson, R-Draper, were the only committee members to vote against the bill Monday. Stephenson wondered at one point if it would be better to hold the bill in committee to explore more ways to deliver the information digitally.

The Valley of the Moon by Jack London
Book III
Chapter XV
Ever north, through a fat and flourishing rejuvenated land, stopping at the towns of Willows, Red Bluff and Redding, crossing the counties of Colusa, Glenn, Tehama, and Shasta, went the spruce wagon drawn by the dappled chestnuts with cream-colored manes and tails. Billy picked up only three horses for shipment, although he visited many farms; and Saxon talked with the women while he looked over the stock with the men. And Saxon grew the more convinced that the valley she sought lay not there.
At Redding they crossed the Sacramento on a cable ferry, and made a day's scorching traverse through rol}ing foot-hills and flat tablelands. The heat grew more insupportable, and the trees and shrubs were blasted and dead. Then they came again to the Sacramento, where the great smelters of Kennett explained the destruction of the vegetation.
They climbed out of the smelting town, where eyrie houses perched insecurely on a precipitous landscape. It was a broad, well-engineered road that took them up a grade miles long and plunged down into the Canyon of the Sacramento. The road, rock-surfaced and easy-graded, hewn out of the canyon wall, grew so narrow that Billy worried for fear of meeting opposite-bound teams. Far below, the river frothed and flowed over pebbly shallows, or broke tumultuously over boulders and cascades, in its race for the great valley they had left behind.
Sometimes, on the wider stretches of road, Saxon drove and Billy walked to lighten the load. She insisted on taking her turns at walking, and when he breathed the panting mares on the steep, and Saxon stood by their heads caressing them and cheering them, Billy's joy was too deep for any turn of speech as he gazed at his beautiful horses and his glowing girl, trim and colorful in her golden brown corduroy, the brown corduroy calves swelling sweetly under the abbreviated slim skirt. And when her answering look of happiness came to him--a sudden dimness in her straight gray eyes--he was overmastered by the knowledge that he must say something or burst.
"O. you kid!" he cried.
And with radiant face she answered, "O, you kid!"
They camped one night in a deep dent in the canyon, where was snuggled a box-factory village, and where a toothless ancient, gazing with faded eyes at their traveling outfit, asked: "Be you showin'?"
They passed Castle Crags, mighty-bastioned and glowing red against the palpitating blue sky. They caught their first glimpse of Mt. Shasta, a rose-tinted snow-peak rising, a sunset dream, between and beyond green interlacing walls of canyon--a landmark destined to be with them for many days. At unexpected turns, after mounting some steep grade, Shasta would appear again, still distant, now showing two peaks and glacial fields of shimmering white. Miles and miles and days and days they climbed, with Shasta ever developing new forms and phases in her summer snows.
"A moving picture in the sky," said Billy at last.
"Oh,--it is all so beautiful," sighed Saxon. "But there are no moon-valleys here."
They encountered a plague of butterflies, and for days drove through untold millions of the fluttering beauties that covered the road with uniform velvet-brown. And ever the road seemed to rise under the noses of the snorting mares, filling the air with noiseless flight, drifting down the breeze in clouds of brown and yellow soft-flaked as snow, and piling in mounds against the fences, ever driven to float helplessly on the irrigation ditches along the roadside. Hazel and Hattie soon grew used to them though Possum never ceased being made frantic.
"Huh!--who ever heard of butterfly-broke horses?" Billy chaffed. "That's worth fifty bucks more on their price."
"Wait till you get across the Oregon line into the Rogue River Valley," they were told. "There's God's Paradise --climate, scenery, and fruit-farming; fruit ranches that yield two hundred per cent. on a valuation of five hundred dollars an acre."
"Gee!" Billy said, when he had driven on out of hearing; "that's too rich for our digestion."
And Saxon said, "I don't know about apples in the valley of the moon, but I do know that the yield is ten thousand per cent. of happiness on a valuation of one Billy, one Saxon, a Hazel, a Hattie, and a Possum."
Through Siskiyou County and across high mountains, they came to Ashland and Medford and camped beside the wild Rogue River.
"This is wonderful and glorious," pronounced Saxon; "but it is not the valley of the moon."
"Nope, it ain't the valley of the moon," agreed Billy, and he said it on the evening of the day he hooked a monster steelhead, standing to his neck in the ice-cold water of the Rogue and fighting for forty minutes, with screaming reel, ere he drew his finny prize to the bank and with the scalp-yell of a Comanche jumped and clutched it by the gills.
"'Them that looks finds,'" predicted Saxon, as they drew north out of Grant's Pass, and held north across the mountains and fruitful Oregon valleys.
One day, in camp by the Umpqua River, Billy bent over to begin skinning the first deer he had ever shot. He raised his eyes to Saxon and remarked:
"If I didn't know California, I guess Oregon'd suit me from the ground up."
In the evening, replete with deer meat, resting on his elbow and smoking his after-supper cigarette, he said:
"Maybe they ain't no valley of the moon. An' if they ain't, what of it? We could keep on this way forever. I don't ask nothing better."
"There is a valley of the moon," Saxon answered soberly. "And we are going to find it. We've got to. Why Billy, it would never do, never to settle down. There would be no little Hazels and little Hatties, nor little . . . Billies--"
"Nor little Saxons," Billy interjected.
"Nor little Possums," she hurried on, nodding her head and reaching out a caressing hand to where the fox terrier was ecstatically gnawing a deer-rib. A vicious snarl and a wicked snap that barely missed her fingers were her reward.
"Possum!" she cried in sharp reproof, again extending her hand.
"Don't, " Billy warned. "He can't help it, and he's likely to get you next time."
Even more compelling was the menacing threat that Possum growled, his jaws close-guarding the bone, eyes blazing insanely, the hair rising stiffly on his neck.
"It's a good dog that sticks up for its bone," Billy championed. "I wouldn't care to own one that didn't."
"But it's my Possum," Saxon protested. "And he loves me. Besides, he must love me more than an old bone. And he must mind me.--Here, you, Possum, give me that bone! Give me that bone, sir!"
Her hand went out gingerly, and the growl rose in volume and key till it culminated in a snap.
"I tell you it's instinct," Billy repeated. "He does love you, but he just can't help doin' it. "
"He's got a right to defend his bones from strangers but not from his mother," Saxon argued. "I shall make him give up that bone to me."
"Fox terriers is awful highstrung, Saxon. You'll likely get him hysterical."
But she was obstinately set in her purpose. She picked up a short stick of firewood.
"Now, sir, give me that bone."
She threatened with the stick, and the dog's growling became ferocious. Again he snapped, then crouched back over his bone. Saxon raised the stick as if to strike him, and he suddenly abandoned the bone, rolled over on his back at her feet, four legs in the air, his ears lying meekly back, his eyes swimming and eloquent with submission and appeal.
"My God!" Billy breathed in solemn awe. "Look at it!--presenting his solar plexus to you, his vitals an' his life, all defense down, as much as sayin': 'Here I am" Stamp on me. Kick the life outa me. I love you, I am your slave, but I just can't help defendin' my bone. My instinct's stronger'n me. Kill me, but I can't help it."
Saxon was melted. Tears were in her eyes as she stooped and gathered the mite of an animal in her arms. Possum was in a frenzy of agitation, whining, trembling, writhing, twisting, licking her face, all for forgiveness.
"Heart of gold with a rose in his mouth," Saxon crooned, burying her face in the soft and quivering bundle of sensibilities. "Mother is sorry. She'll never bother you again that way. There, there, little love. See? There's your bone. Take it."
She put him down, but he hesitated between her and the bone, patently looking to her for surety of permission, yet continuing to tremble in the terrible struggle between duty and desire that seemed tearing him asunder. Not until she repeated that it was all right and nodded her head consentingly did he go to the bone. And once, a minute later, he raised his head with a sudden startle and gazed inquiringly at her. She nodded and smiled, and Possum, with a happy sigh of satisfaction, dropped his head down to the precious deer-rib.
"That Mercedes was right when she said men fought over jobs like dogs over bones," Billy enunciated slowly. "It's instinct. Why, I couldn't no more help reaching my fist to the point of a scab's jaw than could Possum from snappin' at you. They's no explainin' it. What a man has to he has to. The fact that he does a thing shows he had to do it whether he can explain it or not. You remember Hall couldn't explain why he stuck that stick between Timothy McManus's legs in the foot race. What a man has to, he has to. That's all I know about it. I never had no earthly reason to beat up that lodger we had, Jimmy Harmon. He was a good guy, square an' all right. But I just had to, with the strike goin' to smash, an' everything so bitter inside me that I could taste it. I never told you, but I saw 'm once after I got out--when my arms was mendin'. I went down to the roundhouse an' waited for 'm to come in off a run, an' apologized to 'm. Now why did I apologize? I don't know, except for the same reason I punched 'm--I just had to."
And so Billy expounded the why of like in terms of realism, in the camp by the Umpqua River, while Possum expounded it, in similar terms of fang and appetite, on the rib of deer.

A national contest to name America's "Ultimate Fishing Town" has sparked some friendly competition between Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
A national contest to name America's "Ultimate Fishing Town" has sparked some friendly competition between Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet is reminding residents to vote for Cocodrie in the World Fishing Network's Ultimate Fishing Town contest.
"Cocodrie is one of the many places in our community that has earned us the reputation of being the Saltwater Fishing Capital of the World," Claudet said. "By voting for Cocodrie, residents can help us make the rest of the world aware of the tremendous recreational fishing we have available in Terrebonne Parish."
Meanwhile, a nonprofit group called Launch Leeville is drumming up votes for the south Lafourche town.
"Don't forget to take time and vote for the Ultimate Fishing Town Competition," the newly formed group, which promotes Leeville as a fishing destination, posted on its Facebook page Friday. "Please share this with your family and friends. We need everyone's help. You can vote four times per day. Cocodrie is still ahead of us!"
You can vote up to four times per 24-hour period, once every six hours, at www.ultimatefishingtown.com. Voting started April 15 and will end Friday.
As of this morning, Cocodrie was in fourth place with 5,136 votes. Leeville was in 11th place with 594 votes. Grand Isle was in 18th place with 61 votes.
In the lead were Cape Hatteras, N.C., with 11,299 votes; Grand Lake, Colo., with 9,802; and Pont Breeze on Lake Ontario, N.Y., with 9,207.
The winning town gets a $25,000 community donation and is featured on the cable fishing network. The network will work with the winning town's local government to help determine how to spend the money to be put toward benefiting local anglers.
