This month on Open Apple, we talk to Chris Torrence, the new Roger Wagner Volunteer Archivist on behalf of Softalk magazine. Chris is a lifelong Apple II fan, and has recently undertaken the valuable effort of producing a book containing all of Roger Wagner's Assembly Lines columns. This will include all of the articles included in Roger's original book (Assembly Lines: The Book) as well as columns never before available in book form. He's not just republishing the articles, he's annotating, footnoting, and expanding on them as needed. It's a terrific service for the community. We'll dig into that, as well as Chris' start in computing, and how he got to where he is today. We manage to get through an entire show without taking a cheap shot at Commodore, so you won't want to miss this. Wait- no we don't.
We also mark the passing of Lode Runner creator Douglas E. Smith, we talk about printers for some reason, and we talk about more eBay auctions on this show that doesn't talk about eBay auctions. You won't want to miss this month's Weird Gaming, where we run the gamut from incredible educational games that didn't get their due, to horrifying shareware games that can't be forgotten quickly enough. We talk AppleSoft source code in Tech, and lots more. So drop your machine two inches, and let's go!

Before finishing off the last of the delicious pudding, I decided it was best to snap a picture so I could share the recipe. If you like chocolate with a hint of lemon, you are in for a treat! I bet subbing for lime would taste devine as well, and I thought my mint chocolate mousse was a hit. Little E gobbled it all down and made quite the mess. It is so easy and simple to prepare, and tastes much better than any store bought processed pudding I have tried. Not to toot my own horn or anything.
And, you can easily half the recipe if you think it will be too much. I personally found this amount to be perfect. We all had some after dinner and there was just enough left for me the next day.
What are some of your favorite pudding recipes?
Chocolate Lemon Pudding
Yields 4-5 cups
- 2 avocados
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup of liquid sweetener of choice- honey, agave, maple syrup or coconut syrup. (I haven't tried it with date paste, but I am sure that could be used in place of the liquid sweetener.
- 1 1/2 cups of raw cacao powder or sub with carob powder
- 2/3 cup of fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp or more of lemon extract
- Place all the ingredients in a high powered blender (a food processor would work) and incorporate until smoothie.
- Once blended, place in a sealed container in your fridge for 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.
- Keeps for up to 3 or 4 days in the fridge, that is if it lasts that long.

I was still trying to wrap myself around the chocolate with lemon, when I was sneak-attacked by the avocado! Not something I'd expect in a dessert.
But my family l.o.v.e.s chocolate pudding, so maybe I'll try this, just not let them in the kitchen until it's ready to serve. It actually reminds me of when my mother (who was from Switzerland) introduced my father to Birchermues. He said if he hadn't helped her make it (all fruits and juices and oatmeal) he probably would have never tried it. *lol*

KOTA KINABALU: Election Commission chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof is "very sure" that Sabah will see the "best and cleanest election in history."
The election this time around may be hot' and challenging, he said, but it will definitely not be the dirtiest.
"We are very sure of this because of all the new approaches taken to secure the election process and ensure minimal cheating or dishonesty in the electoral roll despite numerous critics from the public on the EC's transparency," he said.
Abdul Aziz said this was made possible by the introduction of the indelible ink, appointment of domestic observers, early voting for army and police personnel and stricter voting methods for overseas Malaysians.
"We have received so many suggestions from the public including non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and political parties on how to improve the election process.
"(We have) implemented some of the best (suggestions) so I am sure the 13th general election will be the best and cleanest," he said after handing out appointment letters to observers, among them Sabah Youth Council, Federation of Chinese Association Sabah and Malaysia History Association (Sabah).
He added that the list of voters in the current rolls are eligible Malaysian citizens whose identities have been verified by the National Registration Department.
Abdul Aziz said observers need to abide by EC rules and are given a month to recruit their volunteers.
Meanwhile, he said as of 8.30am on Wednesday, the number of overseas Malaysians who have registered as voters stood at 1,574 while the total number of voters for the third quarter of last year was 969,479.
"RM52 million has also being allocated as election expenses for Sabah," he added.

The chapter by Shkolnikov and Nemtsov reveals that alcohol consumption is temporally related to mortality trends and to fluctuations in rates of injury and cardiovascular disease in Russia. Alcohol abuse results as well in large productivity losses to society (Cook, 1990). Research to produce evidence on these linkages is still being conducted even as precise measurement of alcohol consumption and abuse remains a problem. Adverse consequences of alcohol abuse include directly related mortality (through, for example, alcohol poisoning, cirrhosis, and stroke) and indirectly related mortality through injury, some intestinal cancers, and hypertension. Mortality directly related to alcohol does not contribute significantly to potential years of life lost as discussed above. However, the chapter by Treml points out that mortality rates due to alcohol poisoning in Russia are extremely high relative to those of other developed countries.
Shkolnikov and Nemtsov also observe that alcohol consumption has generally been higher in Russia and the Baltic states than in the other NIS countries. Official estimates of per capita consumption of alcohol for Russia are unrealistically low, since they ignore the significant role of home production of samogon ("moonshine") and wine in consumption patterns in both urban and rural areas. Samogon consumption in Russia is estimated at roughly 30 to 60 percent of the consumption level of state-produced alcohol. Based on various estimates of real levels of consumption, alcohol consumption in Russia climbed steadily over the 1970s and 1980s, reaching a maximum in 1984, dropping to a low point in 1986 or 1987 as a result of Gorbachev's anti-alcohol campaign, and increasing thereafter until 1992-1993 following the cessation of the campaign. Corrected estimates for the 1990s suggest that Russians drink 14 liters of pure alcohol per capita, with a high concentration among adult males. Drinking among males is roughly estimated to be at levels four times greater than among females, although female drinking began increasing in the 1960s with increased production of wine and beer. Yet recent increases in alcohol-related mortality among females during 1991-1993 suggest increasing levels of alcohol consumption among females (Komarov et al., 1994). This is a cause for concern given the greater susceptibility of women to the negative effects of alcohol (Gavaler and Arria, 1994).
The Russian alcohol consumption level of 14 liters per capita is among the highest levels in the world, but not unique; France has a similar level. What is unique is the high level of consumption combined with binge drinking among Russians. Adverse consequences of alcohol consumption are strongly related to patterns of drinking (Camargo, 1989). Customary drinking patterns in Russia involve binge drinking of large quantities of vodka or samogon with little or no accompanying food, which, as Treml points out, is hypothesized to result in faster intoxication, more frequent violence, serious accidents, stroke, cardiac arrhythmias, and fatal alcohol poisoning. In the European countries of the NIS, the modest benefits of moderate alcohol drinking through a reduction in ischemic

It doesn't matter how many Phuket restaurant options there are, if you don't know about them, what's the point? If you've no way to compare them, how can you decide?
Yet dining out in Phuket — whether for a special occasion at a restaurant brimming with atmosphere, or for a casual local Thai-style lunch — is probably the most important, and potentially one of the most memorable, elements of your visit to the tropical island of Phuket.
Quick restaurant search
Advertisements are everywhere. Every restaurant in Phuket is 'the best'. But at what? Do the ads tell you what it will cost, what's on the menu? How much you'll pay for a bottle of wine? Or, often, even where the place is?
Without real information, too many visitors take pot-luck, or go with the tuk-tuk driver's commission-based recommendation.
Many stay with one or two familiar places, hav ing had one disappointment too many — and no time to waste.
Most miss out on the fabulous array of dining opportunities Phuket offers.
And that's where Where to Eat comes in: Consistent, reliable up-to-date information on restaurants in Phuket that puts the choice where it belongs — with you, the guest.

"The Baldwin Library of Children's Historical Literature contains more than 100,000 volumes, many of which were used by children.
The interaction of the child and the book is evident in the mark of the hand in the Baldwin; there are many examples of marginalia, doodles and inscriptions, bookplates, prize books, crayon scrawl, hand-colored plates, love notes and book anathema.
In addition, many of these books have been used so heavily that they expose somnotexts, or sleeping texts, of scrap paper that were bound into the spines of nineteenth century children's books as padding. These fragments, traditionally referred to as binder's waste, revel in their eccentricity; handwritten sheet music, surgical texts, advertisements for moth killer, Shakespeare and artifacts of the bindery have all survived in this manner.
These unusual para- and peritextual phenomenon will be on display as part of the exhibit curated by Krissy Wilson."
The exhibit will open on August 1st.

CMRS Co-sponsored Conference
CMRS Co-sponsored Lecture
The persistent linkage of crippled and royal bodies in the Middle Ages is nowhere more explicit than in the figure of Jacob, the lame patriarch. After his struggle with the angel (Genesis 32) Jacob remains lame, though imagery and commentary vary enormously in the degrees to which they emphasize or ignore his bodily condition. By the late twelfth century, across the thirteenth and into the fourteenth, Jacob is a single figure upon whom boundaries of time and place, the promise of territorial power, national integrity, divine vision and blessing, and a crippled body all converge. In this lecture, Christopher Baswell (Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Columbia University; Anne Whitney Olin Professor of English, Barnard College) explores the ways these culturally resonant bodies construct intense moments of royalty, power, personal or national integrity, and the work of the sacred.
CMRS Co-sponsored Lecture
CMRS Roundtable
It is widely thought by Church historians, even experts in medieval canon law, that the early Church disapproved of torture and disallowed it in court proceedings, whether secular or ecclesiastical. They base this view on a statement made by Gratian in his Decretum (ca. 1140), but Gratian here refers only to extrajudicial extortion, as is made clear by the Ordinary Gloss. He most certainly allows and prescribes the use of torture by judges in specific circumstances. His doctrine was inherited by heresy inquisitors and was maintained through the sixteenth century, with a dramatic further twist in good time for Galileo's trial in 1632. This talk by Henry Ansgar Kelly (Distinguished Research Professor, English, UCLA) will include a demonstration of the UCLA Corpus Juris Canonici website.
CMRS Distinguished Visiting Scholar Lecture
John Milton's double book of 1645, containing a vernacular volume of English poems (plus a handful in Italian) followed by a volume of Latin poemata (plus a couple in Greek), announces and codifies one of the preeminent early modern poetic careers across languages. On a smaller scale, the oeuvre of Milton's contemporary Andrew Marvell includes a number of Latin and English poems composed in cross-referential pairs. A reading of Marvell's Hortus alongside his famous Garden, or of Ros alongside Drop of Dew, rather than getting bogged down in questions of priority between the two versions, can find an active sense of mutuality between them, and a point of access to some broader questions about poetic bilingualism, as will be discussed by CMRS Distinguished Visiting Scholar Stephen Hinds (Professor of Classics, Byron W. and Alice L. Lockwood Professor of the Humanities University of Washington, Seattle). Stephen Hinds is interested in moments of connection between Latin and vernacular texts which approach the condition of translation without quite being the same thing as translation. His larger project explores not just individual poems but the classical tradition itself as process rather than as product, involving micro-negotiations of authors and readers across language and culture.
CMRS Distinguished Visiting Scholar Lecture
Throughout its long history, conscience has perched precariously at the boundaries of the self. Does it originate outside the mind as a God-given entity or reside within as a unique faculty and defining personal trait? In the sixteenth century it decisively swerved within, as an aspect of distinctive selfhood. Yet, at the very moment of its decisive relocation and apparent triumph, the personal conscience found itself under siege: overburdened and underequipped for its new and formidable responsibilities. This lecture by CMRS Distinguished Visiting Scholar Paul Strohm (Emeritus, Anna S. Garbedian Professor of the Humanities, Columbia University) will touch on More, Calvin, and Foxe as well as plays and religious pamphlets, in considering the vicissitudes of sixteenth-century conscience.

A guy tried breaking in Miley Cyrus' home over the weekend. Luckily, she wasn't home. LAPD say her assistant called 911 after she saw the man on the porch lighting candles. He claimed he was a friend of Miley's for five years and then changed his story to say they were married.
Something tells us he was lying.

Every bit as subversive and disruptive as his debut Un Chien Andalou (1929), this swansong masterpiece from Luis Buñuel is the summation of a 48-year obsession with eroticism, jealousy and violence.
Fernando Rey's horny widower is the bourgeois schmuck stripped of his civility, his passion fanned and doused by a 19-year-old maid (played by Carole Bouquet and Ángela Molina).

Inventing Eastern Europe
The Map of Civilization on the Mind of the Enlightenment
Larry Wolff
436 pp.
13 illus.
Paper $31.95
"Thought-provoking and well written, . . . Wolff's book provides a valuable treatment of the ways in which 'Enlightened' thinkers conceive of the lands east of the Elbe. . . . A very welcome contribution to both the history of the Enlightenment and the Western understanding of Eastern Europe." —The Russian Review
"The distinction between East and West Europe is a seemingly immemorial cliché that desperately needs dismantling, and Wolff does it with erudition and a lively dramatic sense."—Voice Literary Supplement
This is a wide-ranging intellectual history of how, in the 18th century, Europe came to be conceived as divided into "Western Europe" and "Eastern Europe". The author argues that this conceptual reorientation from the previously accepted "Northern" and "Southern" was a work of cultural construction and intellectual artifice created by the philosophes of the Enlightenment. He shows how the philosophers viewed the continent from the perspective of Paris and deliberately cultivated an idea of the backwardness of "Eastern Europe" the more readily to affirm the importance of "Western Europe".

With films like "The Hunger Games" and "Silver Linings Playbook," it's hard not to fall in love with Jennifer Lawrence on the big screen. She's obviously won over the critics too, earning an Oscar and a Golden Globe before turning 25!
Bringing an end to a fun-and-fashion-filled day, Jennifer Lawrence attended the Dior Runway Show after party with Elsa Pataky and Emma Watson.

You know the old saying, you can take the girl out of her hometown, but you can't take the hometown out of the girl? Well Jennifer Lawrence is a prime example of the phrase as she lends her voice to the University of Louisville.
The Oscar-winning actress is the narrator of a minute-long video posted at MeettheCards.com to inform fans about the athletic programs move to the Atlantic Coast Conference from the America Athletic Conference.
It has been a long and amazing journey for Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth and on Friday they filmed the final scene for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 2."
She's found plenty of success in his films, so it's no surprise that Jennifer Lawrence signed on to ANOTHER David O. Russell-directed film.
The Oscar-winning actress opened up about her leading role in "Joy" during her interview on "Live! With Kelly and Michael."
Reporting for duty for another intense day of work, Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth showed up on the set of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 2" in Berlin, Germany on Thursday (May 29).

The crowd immediately screamed, ran for the ocean, and drowned themselves.
That is so sad it's funny.
My dad used to say, "While you're up," to my mom every chance he got.
It is the most palpable memory I have of the two of them when he was alive because it was the most telling, and ultimately, the most romantic.
My mom would laugh when he'd say it. From whatever age you start remembering things right on through the week he died, they did this verbal dance of wit and humor. Dad, from the well-earned comfort of his chair, would ask my mother at the sight of the slightest ankle-jerk if she could please get him, "While you're up," a blah-blah-blah (insert bag of pretzels, string cheese, sliced apples, a napkin, & a bottle of Evian. I'm remembering the later years, here. Shit, my dad's request list reads like a yuppie nightmare. In his heart he was asking for a dry martini, straight up, a good cigar, preferably one rolled tight-as-hell illegally, and some Hank Williams.)
Jeezus. What was my point?
Ok, i'll never catch my breath on this one. That's the never-ending breathless feeling you get when a parent dies. Sometimes, there's just not enough air.
But this is what's what. My father tortured my mother with the "While you're up" line for decades, beautifully, and the only reason he isn't doing the same right now is because he died.
"While you're up" was their love song. For twenty-seven years.
I hope I get to be that lucky.
I don't really know what to do with that.
Alright, who told?
And not the kind of cats Sinatra used to pick up broads with at The Flamingo.

› 'You can be reimbursed if and when the crisis ends, and you're still alive' | John Markakis
Like most Greeks, I have had my medical needs covered by a comprehensive state health insurance programme to which I've contributed all my working life. It is supposed to mean that I don't pay for services and only a token amount for medicines. But at the doctor's last month, the examination over and the prescription written, I was handed a receipt for €50.
'What's this?' I asked.
'My fee.'
'I'm insured, as you know.'
'I know. That's why I've given you a receipt.'
'To do what with it?'
'So you can be reimbursed.'
'If and when the crisis ends, and you're still alive.'
'Are you serious?'
'Quite. The insurance scheme ran out of money and can't pay us. You think we can work for nothing?'
'But they are still deducting a contribution for health insurance from my pension.'
He shrugged. I handed him €50 and and walked out in a daze. Several elderly patients sat in the waiting-room clutching their insurance booklets. They need continuous care, I thought, how will they cope?
'I have insurance,' I told the pharmacist as she picked up a calculator.
'Don't we all?' she replied, handing me a receipt for €13. 'We terminated our agreements with the state.'
'We're owed money since 2009.'
'So, what happens now?'
'Only cash from now on. Here's the receipt and good luck to you.'
The public health system in Greece, dating back to the 1930s, was privatised overnight without public discussion or even an official announcement, simply by bankrupting the insurance programmes.
Well, not exactly overnight: the dismantling began in earnest two years earlier when Greece signed the agreement known here as the Mnimonio ('memorandum') with the European Central Bank, European Commission and International Monetary Fund. Even as a fraction of GDP, which is itself rapidly shrinking, the health budget for 2012 was reduced from 6 per cent to 4 per cent; the allocation for drugs was half the actual cost.
Cancer drugs ran out in the first week of June. The long-serving health minister in the last Pasok government blamed the health minister in the caretaker government, who had been in office two weeks. He scavenged around for drugs and on 6 June, there was a radio announcement that people who needed them should go to a centre in Athens, bringing the appropriate documents. Four more drug centres were opened on 7 June. Queues not seen since the breadlines under German occupation during the Second World War formed outside the centres. Nothing was said about the rest of the country.
On 17 June, for the second time in six weeks, Greeks were called to the polls to say if they wanted to continue with the Mnimonio, with the obvious corollary of returning the establishment parties to power, since they are the only ones committed to the programme.
Eurozone leaders took it on themselves to tutor the Greeks on how to exercise their political rights. One official after another advised them 'to vote with their heads, not their hearts', not 'to let anger dictate their choice' and 'to think of the consequences'. The consequences were spelled out clearly. Unless the signed agreements are implemented to the letter, funding will cease immediately. No carrot was offered to pair off the stick. Instead, every statement ended with the demand that 'Greece pay its debt'. European officeholders generally refrained from voicing the ultimate sanction: Greece's exit from the euro. But bankers, financiers, speculators, newspaper editors and gurus of the global economy were happy to step in with predictions of doom and ideas about the way 'Grexit' would be managed.
The Greek establishment media feasted on these pronouncements, reminding people daily not to be foolish. This was a massive intervention in a sovereign country's internal affairs, a crude effort to manipulate democratic procedure and panic the electorate into reversing in June the verdict it gave in May. Nothing like it has been seen in Western Europe since the US intervened in the early postwar Italian and French elections to prevent the communists from coming to power there.
On election day I offered one of my neighbours, who has throat cancer, a lift to the polling station. He waved his hand dismissively.
'Have you voted? I asked.
He shook his head.
'You mean you're not going to vote?'
'Not now or ever again,' he whispered. 'I'm through with this game.' [++]

OCA Spotlight on Sol Carbonell MC/MPA 2010
The Office of Career Advancement (OCA) Alumni Spotlight Series features interviews with Harvard Kennedy School Alumni who share details of their career journeys. Spotlight interviews are published almost exclusively on the school intranet site where only current students have access, but they are sometimes shared on this blog as well. In this installment of the series, Sol Carbonell MC/MPA 2010, Director of Financial Education for the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, talks about setting goals, financing her education, and ultimately realizing her dreams.
Tell us about your current job.
As Director of Financial Education, my role is to set the vision for our work promoting financial literacy in this region. I manage a team committed to improving the financial capabilities of New England families, and together we develop a strategy that leverages our strengths to further the mission of our department. I spearhead partnerships and collaborative initiatives across units and departments as well as with external organizations. My own interests center on system change and higher impact. I see myself as a facilitator, providing leadership and enabling others to be leaders as well.
Tell us about the journey you've taken to get to where you are.
When I was nine years old, I pasted a picture of myself onto a One Dollar Federal Reserve Note and gave it to my grandmother. The road from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston has been full of adventures. Now, looking back, I recognize the importance of all the decisions that I made along the way and the courage it took to make them at the time. Most important, I remember that friend of a friend who gave me a job opportunity when I was a newly-arrived immigrant, or the stranger who encouraged me to apply to a leadership program—those people who played a critical role in opening doors and inspiring me, whether they knew it or not.
When I started college in Argentina, I had heard about Harvard University and calculated how long it would take me to save the money to take a class there. My calculations said I would need about ten years. (I did not know about inflation and the rising cost of college education back then!) I never could have imagined that ten years later, I would be sitting at the Kennedy School participating in a leadership development program offered by the National Hispana Leadership Institute! It was love at first sight.
Two years after that, I attended HKS for the full experience: the Mid-Career MPA program. After a year of learning, absorbing, questioning, and pondering, my husband and I decided to settle in Boston, his hometown. Having chosen where to live, I began to look for organizations that focused on my interests: economic empowerment, education, poverty alleviation, access to credit. At the Boston Federal Reserve Bank, I am part of Regional and Community Outreach, a key department whose mission is to promote economic growth in low- and moderate-income communities. I have had the opportunity to work on regional community development efforts, and I am now leading a new program on financial education that targets adults. The diversity of my personal and professional experiences has been incredibly valuable for our initiatives. I am proud to be part of an organization committed to leadership, innovation, and excellence in service to others.
Is what you are doing now what you thought you would be doing when you entered HKS?
I would say yes, to some extent. As a seasoned professional, I had a clear understanding of the kinds of work that I enjoy the most and the types of roles that would play to my strengths. I also had an idea of the potential opportunities that I would want to pursue, even if I wasn't sure what my position would ultimately look like. While at HKS, a universe of opportunities opened up. I allowed myself to wonder, experience different cultures, ask many "why" questions, dream a little, sometimes get lost, and at the end of the day, grow a bit. It was not uncommon for me to come back home and tell my husband, "We should move to India! I could probably work on Microfinance…" Well, I didn't get far geographically speaking, but my mind covered great distances, and the choices that I made, informed by what I value the most, leave me at peace.
Is there anything you might have done differently knowing what you know now?
Perhaps, because all the choices that I made had financial implications. As a recent immigrant to the United States, I paid out-of-state tuition and had to carry a lot of debt to finance my own education. I arrived at Harvard University with substantial undergraduate loans and without any kind of financial aid for graduate school, even though I had applied for countless fellowships and scholarships nationwide. Regardless of the financial burdens, my husband and I made the decision to invest in my education, and I will never regret it.
What do you think has been the greatest professional benefit to you from your time at HKS?
My experience at HKS gave me many professional benefits. Besides particular classes that helped to hone certain hard skills, I had the opportunity to experientially sharpen my leadership abilities in Dean Williams's class and my organizing skills in Marshall Ganz's, both of which have proven especially helpful in my job. Those skills are critical when I spearhead taskforces and work to effect change both within the organization and on a larger scale in New England communities. Perhaps one of the most profound classes I took was at the Graduate School of Education: Adult Development with Bob Keagan. This class provided great insights and gave me the framework and theory to better understand adult learners, colleagues, and even my husband!
I would be remiss if I did not mention the importance of the informal conversations, the chats, the dinners, and the opportunities to speak with people from so many different cultures and backgrounds, all within a setting that is inviting, non-competitive, and intellectually stimulating. That, to me, is the greatest value of attending HKS. At the beginning of the year, someone said to our class: "You are at Harvard University. The world comes to you. You'd better take advantage of that." I surely did.
What career advice do you have for busy students juggling problem sets, great Forum events, family demands, social events, and a job search?
It can be overwhelming to juggle family, studying, and trying to find a job at the same time. What helped me was to accept my own reality and understand that everybody was going to have a unique experience at school. I had great communication with my husband about expectations, priorities, and how to help each other accomplish our goals. Having support from loved ones can make a huge difference! We talked about how to organize activities and balance school engagement with life's other demands. Be aware. Be intentional. Do your research. Talk to people.

The Story Never Ends is a tale of hardship and perseverance—one man's journey of discovering personal satisfaction and international notoriety through independent thought and action. It's a tale for journalists and writers but also a lesson for everyone with curiosity, tenacity and dreams. This story details what one regular person can truly accomplish when he sets his mind to it. Joe Bianco began his first day as a newspaper reporter without any formal training in journalism. He ended his lengthy career garnished with two national investigative journalism awards, a Pulitzer Prize nomination, an honorary doctorate of human letters, a Peabody Award, and numerous other recognitions both national and international. After a few years of experience as an award-winning reporter in Pennsylvania, he moved to Oregon and eventually stepped into editor's shoes and developed and directed one of the most highly respected newspaper magazines in the West, The Sunday Oregonian's Northwest Magazine. Village Books is pleased to carry copies of The Story Never Ends. Please call 360-671-2626 to obtain copies.

With such a light MLB schedule Monday night (four games) fantasy baseball owners need to pay even more attention to Tuesday's starting pitchers since these some of the very few starters who could bounce back and still get a two-start week this week. Fortunately for owners who need some help, there are several solid options on the waiver wire in more than half of ESPN leagues. Here's my favorite options widely available for Tuesday:
Possible Pickups
Jason Marquis-San Deigo Padres: (29.4% owned) Marquis and the Padres face the struggling Phillies offense at pitcher-friendly Petco Tuesday night. Marquis hasn't been dominant but has worked around trouble and compiled a 9-2 record with three or two runs allowed in his last five starts. He's 6-1 at home with a .229 BAA and solid numbers across the board even with a lack of high strikeout numbers.
Bronson Arroyo-Cincinnati Reds: (37.3%) Arroyo has allowed two earned runs or fewer in all four of his starts this month going just 1-0 with a 1.57 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP. Facing the A's in Oakland isn't an easy matchup, but Arroyo has been good enough this month to merit taking a shot on him and the Reds as they hit the O.Co coliseum for their interleague series Tuesday.
Kyle Lohse-Milwaukee Brewers: (34.1%) Lohse has bounced back after a rough stretch and has allowed just one earned run in each of his last three starts. He and the Brewers face the Cubs in what should be a good matchup for Lohse.
Stephen Fife-Los Angeles Dodgers: (0.2%) If you need a deep league option, check out Fife who starts against the Giants at home Tuesday. He's allowed two or one earned runs in his last four startes with a 1.35 WHIP and a 2.35 ERA. He's allowed lots of hits but has been able to manage the damage and has 22 strikeouts in 23 innings over that span.

Mayo Clinic completes first genome-wide analysis of peripheral T-cell lymphomas
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have completed the world's first genome-wide sequencing analysis of peripheral T-cell lymphomas, unlocking the genetic secrets of this poorly understood and highly aggressive cancer of the immune system. The researchers, affiliated with Mayo's Center for Individualized Medicine and Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, found 13 genomic abnormalities that were seen in multiple peripheral T-cell lymphomas. Of particular interest, five of these abnormalities relate to production and behavior of the p53 protein — often called the "guardian of the genome" because of the central role it plays in regulating cell life cycles and, therefore, suppressing cancers.

Angel Cabrera (69) and Paul McGinley (70) shared second at 10-under par while Olle Karlsson (73) finished a distant fourth at minus-seven.
Stenson led by three with one round to go and played steady golf with four opening pars. He birdied five before he gave a shot back at seven, a hole he bogeyed twice this week.
The 25-year-old gave the pack a chance to come back with a double-bogey at the ninth after his second shot landed in an difficult lie in a greenside bunker.
Stenson rebounded with an impossible shot at the par-4 10th. He hit a 3-wood from the tee over the water in front of the green and landed in a bank to the right of the putting surface. Stenson decided to hit a high flop shot, then watched as the ball hit the stick and fell in for an eagle-two.
He added a birdie at No. 11 but the tournament was far from over, as Cabrera birdied Nos. 15 and 16 ahead of Stenson. When the leader bogeyed the par-5 15th after he hit into a greenside bunker, the lead was down to two.
Stenson came back with a 15-foot birdie at No. 16 to extend the lead to three, which would prove to be the winning margin.
'Im delighted to have won and it is really special to do it in such a big tournament as this,' said Stenson, who moved into the top-10 on the Order of Merit with the victory. 'I havent really given it much thought really, it will take a while to sink in, but I got the job done today and this is definitely the biggest win of my career - it will have a huge impact for me.'
Stenson won the 2000 Order of Merit on the European Challenge Tour, where he won three times. In all three victories last year, Stenson held the overnight lead heading into the final round and left with the trophy. This year in a transition to the European Tour, Stenson's previous best finish was a tie for 27th at the Portuguese Open.
'I had a really good year last year and was hoping to carry it on and get off to a good start on the main Tour but it didnt happen,' said Stenson. 'So a little while back I sat down and took a look at my game and decided I had to work hard to move onto the next level. I did that, worked really hard over the last couple of weeks, and now I feel like Ive really got it together.'
Cabrera made four birdies over his last 10 holes for a 3-under 69. The winner of the 2001 Argentina Open has now finished in the top-10 in five out six starts in the 2001 campaign.
McGinley, a co-leader with Stenson after the opening round, birdied the last two holes to earn his first top-five finish this season.
'Obviously Im disappointed not to win because I went out to win,' said McGinley. 'But to do that I had to make putts and I didnt do that so it wasnt meant to be.'
Desvonde Botes took fifth at 6-under par and Richard Green finished at minus-five for a solo sixth.
Raphael Jacquelin, Retief Goosen, David Howell, Eduardo Romero and Thomas Bjorn shared seventh at 4-under 284.
Colin Montgomerie finished tied for 12th at 3-under. Defending champion Jose Maria Olazabal, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Darren Clarke were part of a group at 1-under.

Thin privilege is not, when finding out that one of your friends recently had her drink spiked at a nightclub, being told that it's something you'll never have to worry about, because "who'd want to spike a fat, ugly bitch's drink?" After all, fat girls aren't at risk of sexual assault. (Mod Note: Sarcasm. Not actually implying that fat women are not at risk of being sexually assaulted but that we are assumed to not be at risk. -FBP)
Thin privilege is not being told by a boyfriend that he's been cheating on you because of how you look, but if he could combine your "fat girl personality and sense of humour" with her "thin sexy body", he totally would because then he'd have the perfect woman.

Location: Full Sun.
Use: Great middle of the border plant; use with Heliopsis "Summer Nights", Centranthus ruber "Albus", and Digitalis "Snow Thimble".
Specialities: Interesting as a cut flower.
Cultural Tips.
Grams per 1000 seeds: 4. Seeds per Gram: 250.
Seeding Recommendation: 10 g / 1000 plants.
Sowing Rate: 2-3 seeds per cell.
Plug tray recommended size(s): 72 or 128.
Rapidly germinating, keep seed in constant moisture (not wet) with temperatures of about +20°C. Seeds must be covered thinly. Keep in cooler conditions after germination occurs. The germination might be slower and more irregular. This poses no problems.
Best Sowing Dates: Anytime Sowing to Germination: 2 - 3 weeks.

Cutting-Back at Transplanting: Not Necessary.
Growing On: Container Size(s): 1-2 plugs per 11/12 cm; 2-3 plugs per 15 cm.
Vernalization: Some flowering will occur the first year without vernalization, but improved flowering will occur the 2nd year; and 3-10 weeks of cool temperatures might benefit fuller flowering in the first year.
Forcing: There has been no research on "Doubledecker", but an obvious place to experiment - following vernalization - would be raising daytime temperatures to 15° - 17°C. Provide 16 hours of continuous lighting. During the short days of winter, provide a night interruption lighting of 4 hours between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. Some later flowering species can be forced in 14 - 16 weeks and perhaps sooner at warmer temperatures. Further experiments are warranted with "Doubledecker". Fertilization: Medium (150-200 ppm).

By Josh Barro

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board approved new rules yesterday that will change the way states and municipalities report their unfunded pension liabilities. Many governments will report much larger funding gaps, but the actual effects on bond markets and public policy are likely to be small.

The biggest effect of the change is that many pension funds, particularly those with the lowest funding ratios, will have to use lower discount rates to value their liabilities. Think of a discount rate as the inverse of an interest rate -- the lower the discount rate, the more money you must have on hand now to cover a liability that won't be paid until later.

Along with other pension policy experts, I've been critical of the discount rates used by government pension funds. The funds use discount rates of 7.5 percent or 8 percent, set to match their expected rates of return on assets. A discount rate should match the risk associated with the item being discounted. Since a pension looks more like a bond than a stock, with fixed and guaranteed payments, the discount rate for a pension liability should be similar to a bond interest rate: about 5 percent.

This sounds like an arcane accounting matter. But the discount rate is one of the most important components of a pension fund's financials. Typically, adopting a 5 percent discount rate would increase a pension fund's reported liabilities by 30 percent to 40 percent. Universal adoption of a 5 percent pension liability discount rate would add about $2 trillion to the liabilities of state and local pension funds in the United States.

The new GASB rules will force funds with significant underfunding to use "market value" discount rates, close to 5 percent, to value the portion of their liabilities that are not covered by assets. That means reported funding gaps will rise, and they will especially rise at the funds that were already reporting big gaps. Under the new rules, the Illinois Teachers' Pension System, one of the country's worst funded, would have shown just an 18 percent funding ratio as of July 2010.

I was once very enthusiastic about the cleansing power of better pension reporting. State and local governments took on pension liabilities whose size they did not understand. Making clear the size of these liabilities, I thought, would get taxpayers and bondholders to enforce discipline on pension policy.

Since 2009, intervening events have caused me to change my views. Better financial reporting is still a good thing, but it's not likely to spur governments to reform their pension systems.

A similar accounting change required governments, over the last few years, to start reporting very large unfunded liabilities for retiree health benefits. But while governments have started reporting these liabilities, few have been aggressive about funding them -- and the bond markets have reacted to that inaction with a collective shrug.

Bondholders have good reason to be blasé: They expect to be repaid even when a government has pension obligations it hasn't funded and can't service. Six states have passed laws in the last three years that retroactively cut pension benefits earned by government workers, but none has so much as breathed the thought of a general obligation bond default. Several states, including Rhode Island and California, have laws that explicitly place bondholders ahead of pensioners in repayment priority.

Bond investors don't need governments to perform on all their obligations. They just need them to meet their bond obligations. And with this evidence that bondholders will come first, they don't spend a lot of time sweating the size of pension debts.

Taxpayers and pensioners do have an interest in pension underfunding, but in practice the reporting of larger numbers ("You thought you owed $6 billion but really you owe $16 billion") tends to cause their eyes to glaze over. What really moves taxpayers and pensioners to demand reform is when changes in liabilities translate to changes in cash flows: Either governments must start putting lots more money into a pension fund, driving taxes up or spending down; or the pension fund's ability to send actual checks is called into question.

But higher reported liabilities only sometimes translate into current-year cash flow pressures. Some states and cities have legal or constitutional requirements that force them to fund pensions on a specific schedule, or have long traditions of funding their pensions as scheduled. In these jurisdictions (such as San Jose and Rhode Island), sharply rising liabilities have translated into sharply rising current-year pension costs, and therefore into political support for big reforms.

In other places, such as New Jersey and Illinois, lawmakers deal with unaffordable and unfunded pension costs by shirking their obligations to fund pension systems. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has patted himself on the back for proposing that the state deposit $1.1 billion into its state pension fund this year, the largest payment in the state's history. Unfortunately, that falls far short of the actuarially recommended payment of $3.74 billion.

The ability to put off payments to a more convenient time -- or possibly never -- has allowed politicians in New Jersey and Illinois to avoid implementing reforms that would sufficiently contain the growth of pension debts. Both of these states enacted some sort of pension reform in the last few years, but reforms were much more timid and less effective than reform in Rhode Island. Less flexibility on when to make payments likely would have meant more impetus for reform.

And that's where the new GASB rules fall short: They deal only with stated liabilities, not with required cash flows. Even though governments will have to admit their liabilities are bigger than they had claimed, coughing up the extra cash to meet the projected shortfall will be optional.

This isn't GASB's fault -- it only makes recommendations. We need a set of rules that relates to funding, not just to reporting of liabilities. Bigger numbers in financial statements are apparently insufficient to force taxpayers and lawmakers to pay attention. The federal government can, and should, use its powers to force states to adequately fund their pension systems. If higher pension liabilities caused more tax dollars to be diverted into pension funds, then maybe taxpayers and lawmakers would pay more attention to their solvency.

text: Hi John, I don't recall too much about this thing except that we sold a bunch of boxes to Bull that had a 3.5" and a 5.25" floppy in them connected to a compaticard. You can easily make this run without the external setup by just editing the DISKETTE.CFG file. The code has drive X: defined as the 3.5" drive and Y: as the 5.25". There's something itching at the back of my mind that says that the DPS9000 3.5" floppies were of the 360 RPM persuasion and not the usual 300 RPM. If you're interested in handling the 3.5" media and don't have the appropriate drive, I can tell you how to modify a Teac FD-235HF to have it run at 360 RPM. The LHARC archive contains a self-extracting diskette image file (720K 3.5" DS2D media). Your ISP doesn't like EXEs sent in ZIP files but is blissfully ignorant of LHARC--WinRAR should unpack the archive just fine. I can probably provide source code, but I'm going to have to puzzle the thing out--it's been a very long time since I've looked at it.
