The 360 would probably not the worst target, but the PS3 is rather completely out of question. The device is too different from yet supported computers. Also Sony will not allow to use the hardware at its maximum. Plus, the current PS3 doesn't support 3rd party OSs anymore.
While a 360 port would be nice, I think resources are better spend to support as many Appe ppc computers as possible, especially the powerbooks are a good next goal.
Once a bit broader user base is established maybe demand will be high enough to sustain production of new ppc devices (be them based on Freescale 8610 or some QorIQ or AMCC's Titan or IBM's 476FB). But in the current situation ApplePowerC computers are the best choice.
Pffft. PS3 is a much easier target than 360 which is totally closed. At least PS3 has a history of supporting an 'other' OS. Of course they dropped that on the slim model, but the older models are still on shelves (barely). Also the 360 does funky stuff to make it seem as though you have multiple CPUs. The PS3, to all intents and purposes, only has one CPU, which is all an Amiga-like OS can support anyway. 2D acceleration, while not ideal, is plenty for a desktop experience, and 512meg is not a showstopper for such small footprint OSes with traditionally small apps. If you leave the Cell stuff alone for all but 3D or movie playback it would be a neat little low cost machine to run an OS on. With standard hardware and a large installed hardware base I would have thought a port to PS3 would be a no-brainer. Indeed OS4 devs openly contemplated how they might go about using the cells, so at least there is some thought in that direction.

By Sharon Bernstein
LOS ANGELES, May 1, 2013 - As many as 3,000 prison inmates in central California deemed to be at risk from a potentially lethal lung disease may need to be moved to other regions under an order from a court-appointed federal overseer.
The directive, issued on Monday, marks the latest effort to stem cases of valley fever, or coccidioidomycosis, at two prisons where the disease was found to have contributed to the deaths of nearly three dozen inmates from 2006 to 2011.
But it could complicate court-ordered efforts to reduce overcrowding across California's prison system, the nation's largest.
The pneumonia-like illness, contracted by inhaling fungal spores that grow in the dry soils of the American Southwest, is not contagious. But the spores become airborne when soil is disturbed by wind, construction, farming and other activities.
Problems with the disease at two prisons in San Joaquin Valley, the state's agricultural heartland, were documented on Wednesday in court papers filed by J. Clark Kelso, appointed as a federal receiver for medical issues at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Previous attempts to reduce both the number of infections and the severity of cases were ineffective, Kelso's spokeswoman, Joyce Hayhoe, told Reuters.
After a report last year found that problems continued at Pleasant Valley State Prison and Avenal State Prison, Kelso asked correctional officials to stop transferring some inmates there who were considered to be at high risk, Hayhoe said.
Among those deemed to be at higher risk of contracting or dying from the disease were African-Americans, inmates of Filipino heritage, those with compromised immune systems and those who older than 55.
On Monday, Kelso went a step further, directing the state to cease housing inmates who fell into those categories at the two prisons in question, though he stopped short of explicitly ordering those inmates to be transferred out.
On Wednesday, he added diabetics to the list of high-risk inmates, court papers showed. He called the state's response so far "anemic."
Jeffrey Callison, a spokesman for the Corrections Department, acknowledged that the state has not stopped sending at-risk prisoners to the two facilities, nor have any been moved out. Kelso's directive to stop housing vulnerable prisoners in the region came "out of the blue," he said.
Callison said that immediately complying with the receiver's directive "would be an enormous undertaking."
Dr. John Galgiani, a valley fever expert hired by lawyers representing inmates, agreed with the federal receiver and prison officials that no outbreak of the disease had been declared in the San Joaquin Valley.
But in his own court filing, Galgiani said the persistence of the illness in the two prisons amounted to a "medical emergency."
Noting a recent report by Kelso's office, Galgiani said in a court declaration that the infection rate at Pleasant Valley State Prison was "1,000 times the rate for Californians generally." Valley fever was a contributing cause of death in 34 cases between 2006 and 2011 in the two institutions, he wrote.
Symptoms of valley fever include a cough, fever, chest pains and muscle aches that can last for many weeks or months. But fewer than half of infected individuals become sick, and only a small percentage become severely ill.
The disease can be fatal, but the mortality rate among infected patients is about 0.1 percent, said Galgiani, an infectious disease specialist who directs the University of Arizona Valley Fever Center for Excellence.
A recent study found that Valley fever was identified as an underlying or contributing cause to 3,089 U.S. deaths during an 18-year span, from 1990 to 2008.
Those most at risk for life-threatening complications from the illness include the elderly and people with compromised immune systems, Galgiani said.
An estimated 150,000 infections occur in the Southwest each year, the majority of them in Arizona. California accounts for nearly all the remaining cases.

ROME- In an electoral landscape crowded with some of the most colourful personalities in European politics, Italy's centre-left leader Pier Luigi Bersani is a conspicuously unglamorous exception.
Bald, rumpled and habitually seen dragging on a stumpy Tuscan cigar, opinion polls suggest the 61-year-old head of the Democratic Party (PD) is the man most likely to lead the next government after elections on Sunday and Monday.
The son of a mechanic who ran a small petrol station near the northern city of Piacenza, Bersani made his way up through regional politics before a spell as a well-regarded industry minister under former Prime Minister Romano Prodi.
Bersani lacks the professorial aura of Mario Monti, and is no match as a speaker to the two great showmen of Italian politics: media magnate Silvio Berlusconi and Beppe Grillo, the rabble-rousing comic whose anti-establishment 5-Star movement is set to enter parliament for the first time.
But Bersani has traded on a homespun image and even rivals acknowledge his decency.
"I'm sure Bersani would govern well, though he still has to prove himself. He was a good industry minister," said Monti, who has been harshly critical of PD allies like Nichi Vendola, head of the leftist SEL party, or the hardline trade union CGIL.
Bersani has pledged to maintain the broad reform course set by Monti while easing the burden of austerity policies on ordinary families and pensioners. He has also expressed strong reserves about moves to ease hiring and firing rules that were one of the centrepieces of Monti's reform drive.
Although financial markets appear unruffled at the prospect of a Bersani victory, doubts persist about his capacity to emulate German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, the last European centre-left leader to push through major economic reforms.
But while he has none of the international prestige of Monti, a former European commissioner who has been praised by U.S. President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, none of Italy's allies have expressed concern about the prospect of Bersani taking power.
"I think we're heading in the same direction," said Jean-Claude Juncker, former head of the group of euro zone finance ministers, after a meeting with Bersani in Brussels in December.
Other rivals have been less kind, deriding Bersani, a former communist and practising Catholic as an essentially local politician with narrow horizons and a man who would be unable to impose himself on his more left-wing partners.
"Bersani is like a beer, not champagne and certainly not barolo," said one veteran centre-right senator, referring to the expensive Italian red wine that is popular abroad.
"He's nice, he doesn't scare anyone, he won't have much effect. He's the image of Italy today," he said.
Exploiting the deep suspicion of the left felt by a significant part of the electorate, Berlusconi brands Bersani a communist who would sell Italy out to his radical partners.
He has also done his best to tie Bersani to a scandal at Monte dei Paschi di Siena, a bank with close ties to regional politicians from the Democratic Party.
But although Bersani has sharpened his left-wing rhetoric and has had several spiky exchanges with Monti, with whom he may still have to form a government alliance, the PD leader appears more pragmatist than revolutionary.
His immediate priorities include passing anti-corruption legislation, strengthening Italy's often feeble state institutions and reducing payroll taxes to boost employment.
He has pledged to ease the burden of a much-hated housing tax on poorer homeowners by taxing the rich more heavily but has denied planning a more generalized "wealth tax."
Above all, he has promised not to deal in the kind of "fairy stories" he accuses Berlusconi of peddling to voters.
In a profoundly conservative country like Italy, Bersani's provincial image and his prosaic talk of fairness and improving people's lives may be no handicap after the turbulent era of Berlusconi and the year of austerity under Monti.
But in a back-handed warning, his ally Vendola noted that plain talk may not be enough to turn Italy around and a more inspiring message may be needed if he is to avoid the failure of previous left-wing leaders.
"Berlusconi understood that the country needed a dream," he said. "While the left sold itself as a group of good condominium administrators."

Secret Service Interviewed Aaron Swartz's Friends About Guerilla Open Access Manifesto
from the because-that-must-be-evil,-right? dept
There really isn't that much interesting in the documents, as they mostly focus on items seized via search warrants. However, there are two interesting tidbits, both highlighted by Poulsen in his article. The first is more evidence that the feds really did think that the Open Access Manifesto was a key bit of evidence in the case. The documents (towards the very end) include very heavily redacted passages from interviews done by the Secret Service and Cambridge police of at least two individuals, and in both cases there are questions asked (and answered) about the manifesto. In one, a woman notes that Swartz had started a Google Group called Guerilla Open Access. For what it's worth, this Google Group used to exist over here, but disappeared a long time ago. Another interview involves a male friend of Swartz, who was asked about the manifesto and said he read it and became interested in the ideas in it, though he never spoke to Swartz about whether or not Swartz actually wrote it. The friend did tell the Secret Service that "They believe that the open access movement is a human rights issue."
Of course, it's hard to see how the open access movement isn't a human rights issue in many ways, though that doesn't automatically mean that everyone supports copying and releasing all works.
The other interesting thing in the document concerns when the search warrant was finally executed for Swartz's apartment. As had been noted earlier, for reasons that still are murky, the search warrant wasn't executed until about a month after Swartz was arrested, and many people have questioned the timing on that. The report notes that Swartz himself seemed reasonably annoyed that his home was searched and items seized a month after the whole thing happened.
Swartz was home at the time the search was executed. While the search was conducted, Swartz made statements to the effect of, what took you so long, and why didn't you do this earlier?The report also mentions that the agents saw Swartz walk out to the street and then "sprint away," later catching up to him at his office at Harvard. There's really not that much detail here, but interesting to see that the feds really did seem so focused on the manifesto. I'm sure there will be other interesting findings if the other documents are released -- and not completely redacted. It really does seem bizarre to have so many redactions, given that the case is now completely over.

With the holidays around the corner, we're gearing up for visits from our close relatives, who make the trek down to our neck of the woods every year.
Fortunately for us, we've got plenty of room, so they can camp out in the basement or our guest room without disturbing my own kids. But I know not everyone has as much room as we do. And I can tell you this, if we didn't, you can bet my out of town guests wouldn't be sleeping in my kids' rooms.
I'm all for showing hospitality to my family, even friends, and it's certainly good for my own kids to see that we do what we can to help out those we love, but I worked too darn hard to get my kids to actually sleep in their rooms to move them for an adult who should be able to sleep just about anywhere.
I'm more than happy to get them a blow-up mattress, or an extra blanket or two for the couch, but when it comes to sleep, if my kids don't get it, then I don't get it, and this makes me very unhappy.
But let's be honest here, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Because as much as we think we know Grandmom and Grandpa, what about Uncle Bill or Cousin Michelle who we haven't seen in years? We teach our kids to not talk to strangers and yet, we're willing to say that "2nd cousin twice-removed I'm not sure how he's related to you actually" will be sleeping with them in their bedroom.
Sorry, that just doesn't fly.
We never assume that we'll be able to stay with our own families when we go and visit them. Not just because we have four children and that's a bit challenging for anyone to accommodate, but also because we don't want to put anyone out, whether it's just us, or our entire family of six.
So as much as we're willing to do what we can for friends and family, if it means that we've got to risk our kids' sleep or safety, I'll happily direct them to the closest hotel and call it a night. I'd prefer to keep the "Happy" in my "Happy Holidays!" thank you very much.
Would you move your kids to accommodate out of town adult holiday guests?

- 1.2 Molly Letsch (Graduate Student Symposium Committee)
- 1.3 Tsitsi McPherson (Welcome Committee)
- 1.4 Nanci Ross (Faculty Representative)

- 1.9 Jason Hill (GSS Representative)
- 2 Other Business
Officers' Reports
Kat Shaw (GSA Treasurer)
- We have no pizza today because we are in the red from purchase of t-shirts.
- Our balance is approximately -$76. There was a $30 donation just now that brings us up to -$46. Buy t-shirts to complete our fundraising effort!
- Some money is still owed by grads for t-shirts picked up but not paid for at the Graduate Student Symposium.
Molly Letsch (Graduate Student Symposium Committee)
- Tsitsi McPherson asked if we invited grads from the Geosciences department (students of Mike Willig and others), e.g., Dave Hoover.
- Jessica Budke: Are they on the EEB listserv?
- Nanci Ross: Dave got the notice, but he didn't think he was invited.
- Krissa Skogen: We invited students from Geosciences last year to come and talk, and students at Avery Point.
- It was decided that students from these departments need to be invited explicitly in the future.
- Attendance at the symposium was roughly 60, fewer toward the afternoon. Although there were relatively few presenters, there were more audience members than last year.
- Many faculty members were out of town that weekend for other reasons, including funerals. This semester also, many faculty are on sabbatical.
- The weekend we held the symposium was highly approved beforehand by faculty as a good weekend to hold it.
- A budget has been submitted to the GSS for next year, asking for funds to support 70 attendants because of the trend of increasing attendance.
Tsitsi McPherson (Welcome Committee)
- Four people were welcomed at the Graduate Student Symposium. Three of the four are coming as of now. The last one was not enticed by wild and crazy Storrs.
- Tsitsi searched for 1.5 hours to find exciting things to do in Storrs to include in the welcome packet.
- Tsitsi now has a list of people coming in the fall.
Nanci Ross (Faculty Representative)
- Nanci just sent an email about the faculty meeting this week.
Summer Funding
- One question was asked, can we find out earlier about summer funding? The answer is no, because that funding depends on making sure students don't already have summer funding.
- There was mention of encouraging grads to help mentor honors undergrad students in exchange for summer support. There are lots of honors undergrads and not enough labs for them to work in. The incentive was given as $1500 per undergrad, but this is still a work in progress.
- Tsitsi: What if, for example, you're going to Belize for the summer?
- Nanci thinks the money could be deferred, or undergrads could be employed while the advisory grad student is away, doing unsupervised work.
- Susan Herrick: Does this include SURF funding? Can we take on SURF undergrads for the $1500 incentive?
- The money should still be available for grads who mentor SURF undergrads.
- Nic Tippery: Where does the money come from?
- Nanci: The powers-that-be have been touting the honors program, but they have no place for them to work. The money would come from the honors program.
- Tsitsi: What if, for example, you're going to Belize for the summer?
- Nanci: Grads should push for this program. Undergrads need a faculty mentor to conduct summer research, but faculty are often too busy to sign on. Grads could bridge the gap and be the effective mentor for these students.
- 40% of honors undergrads are Biology students. MCB doesn't invite honors undergrads like we could.
- Nanci reminded us that this is currently just an idea that Janine Caira is kicking around, and it is not yet full-fledged.
Building Update
- Building update: TLS will not be torn down. There is the potential for a new EEB building where the greenhouses are currently, but it won't be very big.
Admissions Update
- Admissions update: There will be 10 new students in the fall.
- We're a bit over budget for supporting grad students. We're often over budget, so no worries.
- The university approved a 3% grad pay raise. Be glad because it almost didn't happen, but letters of support had already been sent out.
- At the same time they hired 300-400 new administrators.
Graduate Student Unionization
- There is a bill in the Connecticut legislature now to allow graduate students to unionize (mentioned by Carl Schaefer). The bill is expected to pass. If it passes, afterwards we will have the option to form a union at some time in the future.
- The AAUP has offered, if we want to unionize, to help us set up and organize.
- Nanci, who has a strong pro-union stance from growing up in Detroit, thinks unionizing is important. For example, she remembers the cohort of 2003, when people were talking about how great the grad student health insurance was. Shortly thereafter, grads were not considered state employees in one crucial component, for the purpose of health insurance. The university saved us in the end, but having a union could have been effective in that situation.
- Krissa: There was talk then (in the GSS) about forming a union. But at the time it was illegal.
- Susan Herrick: It could cost us.
- Nanci: At the University of Michigan, grads were able to bargain for 12 months of pay, and a maximum of two semesters teaching for their entire tenure.
- Nicola Plowes: Less time as a TA could amount to shorter tenure as a grad student, thus less cost for university overall.
- Amanda Wendt: What is the status of the bill?
- Nanci: It should sail through, but it wouldn't hurt to contact your legislators.
- Krissa: UConn would oppose a union.
- Susan Herrick mentioned she is part of AAUP because of her job at ECSU. There are two points to consider:
- The union takes their costs out of every paycheck.
- The union will defend horrible employees with the same force as good ones.
- Susan also mentioned that technically we're not full time employees but temporary, as far as the state is concerned.
Maxi Polihronakis (Grad-Invited Seminar Committee)
- There have been 10 nominated speakers. Nominations will be accepted through tonight.
- Em Komisky: Will you send the list around?
- Maxi: Yes, next week.
- Em Komisky: Will you send the list around?
- The schedule for spring next year is already filling up. It could be the next fall before the speaker could come, in which case Maxi would not be able to coordinate his/her visit.
- Em: How does the selection/arrangement process work?
- Maxi: 1. We vote to choose the person. 2. The person confirms that he/she will come. 3. We arrange a date for the seminar. If any of these steps doesn't work out, we take our second choice, and so on.
- Em: How does the selection/arrangement process work?
- Andy Bush is covering the seminar coordinator position for Bernard Goffinet.
Diego Sustaita (Monday Evening Seminar)
- The final MES of the semester will be on April 30. The speaker will be Ivan Castro-Arellano, a postdoc of Mike Willig. The MES still needs to find a faculty home to host. Mike Willig has not responded yet, and he lives pretty far away.
- Em mentioned that she has a home too, but it's far away also.
Tsitsi McPherson (Curriculum Committee)
- There was a change discussed for Cindi Jones' EEB 276 (Plant Anatomy) class. There is a wish to change the number of lab hours. Currently, the lab for this course meets twice per week for 2 hours each time. The proposal is to change this to one lab session per week, with the total time reduced from 4 hours to 3.5 hours. The single longer lab period will allow more thorough investigation of the material presented.
- [There was confusion at the meeting of this announcement being about Cindi Jones' Developmental Plant Morphology class, which Jessica Budke and Em Komisky refuted.]
Krissa Skogen (Center for Conservation and Biodiversity)
- The CCB co-sponsored the Teale lecture by David Sibley.
- Bioblitz is coming up, June 8-9 in Middletown, CT.
- Dave Wagner is the local contact, he can put you in contact with your respective person.
Jason Hill (GSS Representative)
- Jessica: Was our Graduate Student Symposium budget voted on?
- Jason: Not yet. Not sure why.
- Nic: What budget?
- Jessica: The budget for next year's Graduate Student Symposium.
Other Business
Carrie Fyler
- The 4th annual Jim and Carrie's Romantic Willimantic Pub Crawl will be happening Friday, June 1.
- Rachel Prunier and Em object to June 1, because they will be in South Africa and Vermont, respectively.
Nic Tippery (GSA Secretary)
- You have probably noticed the GSA meeting minutes are committed to EEBedia. When I do that, I put a link by everyone's name who speaks or gets mentioned. Links that don't go anywhere are red and uninformative. I suggest that everyone with an EEBedia account (i.e., everybody) should give themselves a personal page, even as brief as to list their contact information. It is much simpler to link within EEBedia than to link to external sites like personal pages on the EEB site. Some great examples of personal sites on EEBedia are those of Carrie Fyler, Molly Letsch, and Amy Weiss, who has started a page of songs about plants. Any contributions you can make to reduce the number of red links are greatly appreciated.
Jessica Budke
- Pat Anderson sent an email around asking if grads wanted to talk about funding, dispersal of funds, and reporting funding to the government. For example, what is the best way to get your Bamford Funds dispersed so you have access to them and are minimally taxed. Many students were interested in having that meeting. It was voted on and decided to have the meeting Monday next week, during the 1-2pm time slot that Pat has available. Stay tuned for an email from Jessica confirming the time.
- Tsitsi: There is form 970 from the IRS to report scholarships and grants.
- Molly: It's very dense and confusing.
- Tsitsi: It's pretty easy.
- Tsitsi: There is form 970 from the IRS to report scholarships and grants.
Susan Herrick
- Susan: My house will be ready for an end-of-summer party. We have a pool and a playground suitable for adults.
Buy t-shirts! Or pay for them if you haven't yet.
Adjourned 6:02pm

Staff Reviews
Street Fighter reviewReviewed December 15, 2003
Marc Golding says: "That guy in the first player slot with red hair, jerking about as if frames of animation are missing, is Ryu. You might recognize him; his hair has gotten darker with age and he has since doffed the ruby red slippers he wears in this incarnation. The blonde guy occupying the spot opposite his Japanese counterpart is the barefooted Ken. He seems to have gotten prettier with age, which is a good thing, because hes ugly as sin in this game. (Perhaps the Masters Corporation was on the cusp of multibillion dollar success, allowing young Ken to later go under the knife.) These are the only two characters you can select from. "

Street Fighter reviewReviewed July 05, 2004
goldenvortex says: "Capcom's Street Fighter series was the progenitor of fighting games and today it is still respected in the hearts of beat-em-up fans and general gamers alike. When you think of Street Fighter I guarantee you will immediately think of Street Fighter 2 Championship edition, possibly the most famous fighting game in history. The original Street Fighter however remains almost forgotten now probably due to the reason it mainly lay in the arcades of the late eighties and was knocked aside for the go..."

First sighting of this native bird!
|(Photo: National Park Service)
We had a fairly good look at him. I'm certain that he was a pileated woodpecker, not a red-bellied or red-headed woodpecker. I checked the range map, and we are within an area where it's very possible a pileated would be overwintering or even breeding.
It was a great thrill to see a pileated woodpecker. I've seen them in pictures, of course, but before today, never n real life!

So there you have it, the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto V.Can you believe it actually loaded? We noticed a lot of disparate environments, but all centered around Vinewood, a stand-in for Los Angeles. We're definitely getting back into some of the GTA: San Andreas stomping grounds.
Our hero is a dad who says he's trying to be a good guy, but, well, it's a Grand Theft Auto game, so you can guess how well that works out. There are also a lot of images of financial ruin, so we're guessing the current economic crisis is going to play a big role. What'd you notice?

"Getting a little more oomph out of your MacBook Air after giving Flash the boot? Adobe's Shantanu Narayen stopped just short of saying that's Apple's fault for not handing Adobe a device ahead of time. We asked the CEO what the greater battery life sans flash in Apple's new laptop meant for the platform vis-a-vis HTML5 at the Web 2.0 Summit just a few minutes ago. He said it's really all about optimizing for silicon: 'When we have access to hardware acceleration, we've proven that Flash has equal or better performance on every platform.' You wouldn't be blamed for thinking that sentence a cop-out, but that's actually not the case - the chief executive says they've presently got a Macbook Air in the labs and have an optimized beta of Flash for the device presently in testing."

Tropical Storm Humberto re-forms in the Atlantic
September 16, 2013
MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Humberto (oom-BEHR'-toh) has re-formed far out over the Atlantic.
The storm's maximum sustained winds Monday morning are near 40 mph (65 kph) with slow strengthening expected over the next few days.
Humberto is centered about 1,200 miles (1,930 kilometers) southwest of the Azores and is moving west-northwest near 8 mph (13 kph).
The storm is not a threat to land and its forecast track currently shows it will stay over water.

Hi all,
I am wondering why I can create shapes with the fill and stroke I specify only in templates and not when I select a new action script 3.0 or any of the other types of flash documents. Does anyone have a link to information on this or can explain what I need to configure?
I have tried to answer your same question under flash section, if the answer is helpful then please close this thread.

History and Old Stuff...
I have a neat old book that I bought at an estate tag sale. Both of its covers are completely detached but all of the pages are still bound together, except three pages from the front. I don't think any pages are missing. To store it on the bookshelf, I stack the parts of the book in their correct order, tie them with ribbon like a package, and place the whole thing in a soft cloth envelope I made for it.
The book's poor condition makes it almost worthless, but I enjoy owning it. It is a 1903 edition of Gaskell's Compendium of Forms. On the frontispiece (above, click to enlarge), the book's contents are summarized, and on another page, the following dedication appears.
--- To ---
The Young Men And Young Women
Of The
United States
Who Wish To Master At Their Own Homes
The Most Necessary Forms and Laws
of Business and Society,
This Book Is Affectionately Inscribed By
The Author.
The Young Men And Young Women
Of The
United States
Who Wish To Master At Their Own Homes
The Most Necessary Forms and Laws
of Business and Society,
This Book Is Affectionately Inscribed By
The Author.
The book's pages are embellished with many finely decorated drop caps (big fancy capital letters) at the beginnings of the various sections, as well as many other pen-and-ink illustrations and designs. Mr. Gaskell was a famous calligrapher who had already published a best-selling book about the art, so I assume he was the primary artist of the book. I don't know that for sure, but no other artist is given credit on the title page at the front of the book.
One section is dedicated to the subject of handwriting. He talks about the importance of sitting properly, using the right muscles, mastering various sorts of curves and slanted lines, and correctly spacing letters and words. The types of practice he suggests in his "Twelve Lessons In Penmanship" were still in use when I was introduced to the Palmer Method of cursive writing in the late 1950's.
Another section of the book is devoted to letter writing. Mr. Gaskell gives examples of suitable letters for nearly every occasion. For example, here is a suggested text "From a Gentleman to a Lady, Making a Declaration."
My Dear Miss Hunter:- You cannot but have been aware for some time past that my feelings toward you have been stronger than those of mere friendship. Our long acquaintance has given me ample opportunity to learn the excellences of your character, and to prize them at their full value. It has also afforded you a like opportunity to judge whether I possess those characteristics which you would desire in a husband. Am I presumptious in hoping that you will consent to become my wife? Until I receive your answer I shall remain,
Your anxious but no less ardent admirer, Charles Carter
Notice that the gentleman does not actually ask the lady to be his wife. He asks if he may presume to hope that she will consent.
I can't begin to list everything of interest in Gaskell's Compendium of Forms, but you can browse through an online version of the book. It is not a complete replica, but it contains many interesting excerpts of the book's sections, as well as some of the illustrations. Or you can buy your own copy at AbeBooks.

Say you had a family secret.
A juicy one. The kind that speaks volumes about families. And you wrote a book about it. But your family hates the book. Or, at the very least, potentially feels embarrassment from it. Would you still release that book? Say the book was very good, serious art — would that matter? Does art sometimes trump family?
Michael Hainey and Brooke Wyeth might be able to relate.
Brooke is fictional, the protagonist of Jon Robin Baitz's "Other Desert Cities," the story of a daughter about to release a very unflattering family memoir; the play runs through Sunday at the Goodman Theatre. But Hainey is real, a former Chicagoan whose own (and much more generous) memoir, "After Visiting Friends," arrives Tuesday. (His book tour begins Feb. 25 at the Harold Washington Library, followed by several additional Chicago readings.) We asked Hainey — as well as actress Tracy Michelle Arnold (who plays Brooke) and director Henry Wishcamper of "Other Desert Cities" — to reflect on the discomfort.
Interview with Michael Hainey, author of "After Visiting Friends"
Bob Hainey worked at this newspaper.
He met his wife here. She was Barbara Hudak then. She wrote the TV listings. They were married in 1961. He died in 1970 at 35. Hainey's obituary in the Tribune said he had worked here as a reporter, a copy editor and an assistant photo editor, and that he died of a "massive cerebral hemorrhage." Which is what the Chicago Sun-Times also ran with as the cause of death; he was head of the copy desk there when he died.
Here's where it gets weird.
The obituary that ran in other local newspapers said Hainey died of a heart attack. This never sat right with Michael Hainey, Bob's youngest son. But then, a lot about his father's death never sat right. Indeed, Michael Hainey, now deputy editor of GQ magazine, took the title of his new memoir, "After Visiting Friends," from another odd part of a local obit: It said his father died near Irving Park Road and that he was visiting friends. Except that his father was working that night, the Sun-Times was five miles away and the time of death was 5:07 a.m.
Michael Hainey, who grew up in Park Ridge (and was briefly a freelancer for the Tribune), has written something of a family mystery wrapped in an ode to Chicago newspaper tradition. It's also the kind of harrowing read that, at least for the author, led to "long nights awake, thinking about all the permutations that come from writing a book like this." By coincidence, when I talked to Hainey last week, he had just spoken to his mother, who had come back from a Goodman Theatre performance of "Other Desert Cities," which tells the story of a writer of an explosive family memoir. The following is an edited version of a conversation with Hainey.
Q: What an appropriate night of theater.
A: She started telling me about it, about how it was about a daughter who basically writes about her family and something involving a family secret no one talks about. I said, "Oh … well … that's interesting, Mom …"
Q: Did she see similarities?
A: I don't know. I did, but we didn't talk about it.
Q: Ironically.
A: As I say in the book, the word "family" and the word "secrets" have always been synonymous in my mind. And so I guess that I think every family has its secrets, and those secrets can be profound or small, but they will undoubtedly become more profound the more they get denied or pushed back into a closet.
Q: Without giving away exactly what happened — your father's story failed the smell test.
A: Right. Things don't add up. In fact, I think that if my story has any resonance, it would be because there is a deeper theme here: the family secret that we all wonder about and wish we could search out. I worked on (the subject) for a good 10 years, and from the start I thought of it as a book, which was a leap of faith because I had no publisher or answers. But about four or five years ago, when I started to see it as something, I told (my family): "You know that thing I've been looking into? How I keep asking about that thing?" I think the idea was sort of abstract to them at first. "OK, keep us posted. …" That was their reaction.
Q: Your family never asked you to not write this?
A: No, no, though it was a good two years where I sat on the knowledge of what I had learned before I presented it to my mother. I thought for a while that maybe I (shouldn't) finish. There was a year where I didn't know what to do about the book. The fear of hurting my mother or losing her love was paramount. Even with my brother, the moment in the book where I tell him what I've been doing — we're at the playground with his kids, and I ask, "You ever notice gaps in dad's story?" — that was after at least a year of thinking about this.
Q: Your brother and mother (both of whom still live in Chicago) have since read it?
A:Oh, yeah, and if they said, "Don't release this," I don't know, then this would be a different story. By the way, I didn't tell them what I was doing for a while, not out of secrecy but more because it felt like some stone I had been working in my shoe, and sometimes you just have to gather the strength to ask certain questions.
Q: Did you ask about your father's death when you were a kid?
A: I thought about it from the time I was 9 or 10 years old, which might sound extraordinary, but the story I would hear — I mean, I watched police shows! I watched "Adam-12"! "Columbo"! Why weren't police there if my father died of cerebral hemorrhage in the street? Did he die in the street? Why did an uncle get to him first? Why did the obituaries in newspapers seem to change the details? I don't know what the first hint was, but I remember working up the courage once to ask at the kitchen table, "Wait, tell me again how dad died?" But everyone repeated the same story, and this was not a chatty house to begin with.
Q: All in all, do you think of your family as more secretive than anyone else's?
A:Well, there's the Nixon family.
Interview with Tracy Michelle Arnold and Henry Wishcamper, from the play "Other Desert Cities"
Brooke Wyeth, the fictional author at the center of "Other Desert Cities," currently at the Goodman Theatre, has been in and out of mental health institutions, gone though bouts of depression and emerged healthy, with a great, powerful memoir she has written about her family and the callous way she believes her parents treated the death of her older brother. But there is more than one truth here. We asked Tracy Michelle Arnold, who plays Brooke, and Henry Wishcamper, who's directing the show, to reflect on the real-world ramifications of such a story. The following has been edited and combined from two conversations.
Q: Where do you fall — release a damaging family memoir or not?
Wishcamper: It's hard. As a kid, I didn't always think through the ramifications of what I was saying. Now I wish I had. I don't know. I think the play should leave you with questions of your own accountability. I think I relate most to the part of the play that says the world is complicated, and there is a high cost to truth-telling.
Arnold: It's a tricky thing, to talk about the responsibility of an artist and being true to yourself when the art is memoir. Unless you are going to talk about only yourself, of course. Which is impossible. The character's perspective is not my own. Brooke is not fully matured, and for 99 percent of the play you see a woman who can't move past certain events in her life. Couple that with mental illness, and you're in dangerous waters.
Q: Do you think the quality of the work matters?
Wishcamper: I think it should. I think the job of the artist is to hold a mirror up to themselves, and if the work isn't truthful, it's not worth much. But I don't think art trumps everything. That's how Brooke feels at one point, though we never hear her explicitly say that. And by the end, I doubt she feels the same way.
Arnold: The character Trip (Brooke's brother) says what matters on your deathbed is not that you created great art once, and it got great reviews, but that you were a decent person. I guess that's the side I'm on.
Q: The safe side.
Arnold: Right, it is. I'm 43 and I have a child to be responsible to now. I have to think about the legacy of the work that I choose as an actress now. That's how motherhood changed me. It made it easier to choose the roles I play, because now I am consciously thinking about how my choices will reflect on my family.
Wishcamper: As a director, my work is not as baldly or identifiably autobiographical perhaps, but I've found it interesting because, talking to people, I think about half the audience sides strongly with the daughter and the other side with her parents, and often (the audience) spent part of the play siding against those people.
Q: Could you release a book like this?
Arnold: I think I could, but I would wait until the people were gone or I had gotten their blessing. But it's interesting: We have (discussions) after the show (with the audience), and the other day these people asked how could her parents have expected Brooke to be mentally healthy and loyal if they haven't been truthful themselves.
Q: She can only work with what she knows.
Arnold: Yes, but it's wrong to call it a memoir at some point, when it's plainly a version. I read Patti Davis' memoir, which was an influence on the playwright (Jon Robin Baitz), and I don't know if I believe all of it. She is really harsh (about her parents, Nancy and Ronald Reagan), though I believe some of it too. Another source for the play was Julian Barnes' (novel) "The Sense of an Ending," which deals with how you can carry a memory around, then someone confronts (it) with their completely different version. Truth is relative.
Q: But isn't a whitewashed version of events, one that a family might like, no less offensive?
Arnold: Totally agree. Patti Davis makes clear her frustration that her parents would put on this loving public face, which is partly what rankles Brooke. Some people go through their lives pretending. But at the end of the day, it's not always the worst thing. This woman at a donor event we had, she said to me, "I had a good idea what my youth was about, but this play made me want to sit down my parents, now that they don't feel they have to protect me as much." It's like finally you can ask, "Remember that Christmas nobody talked?"
Q: But should you?
Arnold: Right. Who knows what'd you hear?

I'm so lost. This is just getting worse.
All weekend, I had my husband on duty to do everything for me so all that I had to do all day was pump every two hours. I STILL couldn't do it. I feel so incredibly worthless. Not once have I had a day when I've been able to pump as much as I need to to keep my supply up - not even five times a day, let alone every two hours - and I don't have other kids to look after. Other mothers manage it, and they have children to look after, dogs to walk, a house to clean, you name it. Yet I can't manage a single day of pumping, when it's my only duty all day long. What is wrong with me? I'm trying SO hard. This weekend I even set an alarm every two hours so I wouldn't forget, and I didn't forget, I didn't have time. How is that even possible?
The pain itself is getting worse, too. Last night I had shooting pains through my breast after I nursed her (I know that this is a symptom of thrush; I'm calling a doctor today to see someone ASAP). The pain in my nipples will not let up, and seems worse than ever. They're also starting to turn white.
I'd like to fill you all in on what's happened today, because it's very typical of a normal day for me. LO woke around 7am and I pumped while my husband fed her formula. She only took around 1oz before she fell asleep. By 8:20, she was hungry again, so I nursed her. After 45 minutes - with me in pain the entire time - she was asleep again, and none of my methods woke her up, so I was pretty confident she was finished eating. The moment I stood up to put her in her bassinet, she threw up what I'd guestimate to be everything she'd just eaten, and started giving me her hungry cry again. I couldn't even think about nursing her, so I gave her a bottle of formula. She took half an ounce and was done. I put her, sleeping, in her swing. Ten minutes later she was awake and hungry again. This time she took 1oz, then fell asleep again. And repeat, over and over. She's been crying, on and off, all day. That ten minutes this morning was the longest consecutive period that she hasn't been crying. Every time, I rule out diaper change; needing to burp; needing to be held; being tired. All that she wants is to eat, but then she falls asleep as she's doing it and doesn't get enough.
She's nursed for about an hour and thirty minutes today, total, and has had about 4.5oz of formula. After she spat up and got hungry again immediately after I nursed her this morning, I couldn't stop crying. Why am I doing this to myself when she just isn't ever satisfied?

User1 wants to compile a stored procedure owned by another schema, say User2 schema.
The procedure begins with
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE user2.procedureABC AS ...
(Notice the porcedure explicitely mentions the schema owner)
All privs for the proc have been granted to User1:
User2> grant execute, debug, all on procedureABC to user1;
My problem is User1 still cannot compile the procedure from his own schema. One solution is to grant the system privilege "Alter any procedure" - this works but now User1 can compile any procedure in any schema.
Please advise.
Thank you!
