Several springs later ... a nod to Ed Wade
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — With the recent signing of manager Charlie Manuel to a two-year contract extension and general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. to a four-year deal, the Phillies rewarded their two most important non-players for their contributions to the success of the franchise.
Neither would have been in a position to succeed were it not for one man – a guy often criticized publicly, but who actually set the wheels in motion for the baseball renaissance that has engulfed Philadelphia the last few years.
Ed Wade left the Phillies sighs of relief from the faithful fan base. Pat Gillick replaced him and within three seasons directed the Phils to a world championship.
Wade was the forgotten man. He was a footnote, a link to a bygone era of getting close but no cigars.
Although it has been duly noted that he was overseeing the construction of the farm system that produced several of the big names on the Phillies today, it is sometimes forgotten that he was the guy responsible for bringing in Manuel and Amaro as well.
"One of those decisions wasn't very popular in the court of public opinion at the time, but it looks like both decisions turned out very well," Wade said prior to the Phillies 7-6 win against the Houston Astros. "I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but I knew at the time what Charlie would bring to the clubhouse and to the dugout and how he would instill the right kind of attitude into the players."
Amaro was an easier hire for Wade, as there is always less fanfare for lower-tier executives, but Amaro doesn't forget who it was that gave him his break in the business.
"When I came in the spring of 1998, right around this time, almost exactly this date in 1998 to express to Ed (Wade) that I had interest in being in the Phillies organization in some capacity, really I thought I might end up being the coach or a scout or something like that," Amaro said. "For Ed to have the faith in me to get the opportunity … to literally come off the field and be in the front office, I'll forever be indebted to Ed for that opportunity."
Wade, who was hired as Houston general manager in 2007, is trying to recreate with the Astros what he started with the Phillies in the early part of the last decade.
"When I got here, we wanted to create a winning environment, but more importantly, we wanted to focus on building a farm system that was depleted," Wade said. "It's very similar to where we were when I took over in Philadelphia and the goal is to get the Astros to where the Phillies are today. We're certainly not there yet, and we're a couple years away, but we're getting there." Continued...
Wade is getting there with a very familiar philosophy: Trust in a patient developmental program and fill in with valuable veterans until the young guys are ready. Then, build a staff of smart baseball folks with whom he is familiar.
That's why former Phils first base coach Brad Mills is the manager, a guy Wade gushes over, saying he has the total package for a manager and that he will be "the last manager I ever hire."
The Astros roster is littered with former Phillies. There's Michael Bourn, Brett Meyers, J.A. Happ, Jason Michaels and Sergio Escalona – who happens to be wearing Roy Oswalt's old No. 44 with Houston.
It's also a team stocking up on good, young talent, the kind that can make it to the major leagues in the next few seasons.
Knowing Wade's philosophy, even if the Astros start climbing up the pecking order in the National League Central, unless they are ready to be serious postseason contenders, he won't abandon the future to make things better in the short term.
It was an approach that didn't sit well with the Phillies faithful, especially in the years they were coming tantalizingly close to the playoffs with Larry Bowa as manager but falling just short.
Fans wanted the Phillies to make a bold move -– and they had their chances to do so.
"At one point, we had a chance to get Barry Zito from Oakland when he was a Cy Young-type pitcher," Wade admitted. "However, the asking price was (Chase) Utley, (Ryan) Madson and Bourn.
"At the time that would have been a popular move, to get that caliber of a left-handed pitcher for a bunch of prospects nobody really knew anything about. But flash forward a little bit, and that deal wouldn't have made much sense for the Phillies, would it?"
No, it wouldn't. Which is why Ed Wade deserves more credit than he's ever gotten in Philadelphia for the product that's on the field today. Continued...
Gillick brought in the missing pieces to a championship puzzle. Amaro brought about the excitement for this season, landing three-fifths of the greatest pitching rotation since the invention of things that rotate.
But it was Wade's diligence and patience that keeps Philadelphia fans thankful to have Utley, Madson, Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels and Jimmy Rollins. It was Wade who plucked Shane Victorino from the Rule 5 draft. It was Wade who stuck by Pat Burrell, who eventually led the championship parade down Broad Street.
So if the 2011 Phillies go on to another championship with the same core and people start talking about erecting statues and renaming streets around Citizens Bank Park, they should at the very least name the adjacent parking lot after Ed Wade.

Years of shopping flea markets and yard sales have left Bobbie Wakamo with a good eye for quality used goods and a talent for pricing such items. That has made her an ideal volunteer with United Methodist Children's Home, whose principal fundraisers are its flea markets.
"I know what I'm doing," said 80-year-old Wakamo, who's been volunteering with the children's home approximately 20 years. "We have a reputation for good value and we don't sell junk. I identify the items that are up to our standards. Some aren't what we want, but are still in decent shape; we donate those to another charity." Some items, she said, aren't suitable for sale or giveaway and are sent for recycling. There are usually three sales a year, but donations are accepted all year long, so Wakamo stays busy not only sorting by quality, but putting like items together—even down to organizing clothing by size."
Wakamo's devotion to volunteer work has led to her being named this year's Georgia winner of the Home Instead Senior Care network's Salute to Senior Service award. The sponsoring organization, Home Instead Senior Care, provides non-medical in-home services to older people. In the nationwide competition, launched this year to honor seniors' commitments to their causes and communities, she emerged as one of 50 winners from among approximately 1,330 entries.
Jeff Huber, president and chief operating officer of Home Instead Inc., called Wakamo "a senior hero to many."
"She has shown that volunteer opportunities for older adults should not diminish because of age. Seniors such as Bobbie are making important contributions to their communities through charities, nonprofit organizations and faith communities," he said.
Jane Howland, who nominated Wakamo, said, "Bobbie Wakamo can be found almost any day of the month rummaging through old clothes and dusty, discarded furniture…though most of us couldn't think of anything much worse."
Wakamo calls her work at the South Columbia Drive facility "my job" and attends it as faithfully as any paid employee might.
The more than 550 volunteer hours she puts in each year includes helping to oversee the work of 60 volunteers at the home. Wakamo explained that she doesn't want volunteers who aren't serious. "Anyone who thinks they can just drop by for a couple of hours and it'll be fun doesn't understand what we're doing here. This is hard work. There's a system and we want volunteers to understand that system. We want consistency in the way we select and price the items."
A retired nurse, Wakamo said she believes her training and experience in health care have contributed to her organizing skills and attention to detail that are so valued at the children's home.
In her work with the children's home over the years, Wakamo has sorted through countless donated clothing, sports equipment, books, jewelry, shoes, toys, games, furniture and china. Two buildings on the Methodist Children's Home campus are devoted largely to storage of donated items. In a building erected in 1907, china and glassware alone fill a large room. Another is filled with clothing. In the adjacent building are rooms of furniture and a collection of books larger than one might find at many libraries.
"The flea markets are such an important fundraiser for the home," said Wakamo, who estimated that each raises about $35,000. "I'm proud to be associated with this organization," she said of the home founded to care for Civil War orphans. It has been at the Decatur location since the 1870s.
Thanks to the meticulous work of volunteers, the flea market has a reputation as one of the best in the metropolitan Atlanta area. "People know they can get great bargains here. They line up outside even before we open," Wakamo said.
She said she plans to continue to volunteer with United Methodist Children's Home as long as her schedule allows.

When he was the managing partner at the Stamford, Conn., office of Dreier LLP, Joseph M. Pastore III handpicked a group of lawyers to work at the financial litigation firm. Much of the group's work involved defending brokerage firms against charges brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Among the lawyers Pastore brought in were Leanne M. Shofi and William M. Dailey. They worked closely together, but time and circumstances pulled the trio apart. "We always joked about getting the band back together," Pastore said.
Last month, they did. The three former colleagues opened a new Stamford firm -- Pastore, Shofi & Dailey -- that may eventually have more than 10 lawyers and could include a Florida office. "We are starting out small but we are looking to grow," said Pastore, whose new firm continues to represent financial service companies and investment groups. "I think we're already practicing at a big-firm level. That's the nature of our work style. We're focusing on the financial practice, but our goal is to have a full-service law firm."
In 2009, law firm founder Marc Dreier was arrested for securities fraud and his 200-lawyer, New York City-based firm collapsed. That prompted Pastore to help form a new 15-lawyer firm called Pastore & Osterberg, with intellectual property attorney Eric Osterberg. The office was later acquired by the 500-lawyer firm Fox Rothschild.
Pastore left Fox Rothschild in 2011 because one of the clients he had brought from Dreier was engaged in a legal dispute with a client of Fox Rothschild. Rather than give up the client, Pastore moved on. But Dailey kept working at Fox Rothschild and Shofi went off to raise a family. Pastore kept himself busy as partner in the security and litigation practices with Smith, Gambrell & Russell, a New York-based firm of 175 lawyers that has a Stamford office.
But all this time, Pastore said, he's been looking to re-create the skill set and the esprit de corps he had at Dreier. That wasn't possible right after the implosion. "Our impulse when that happened was, let's just get everyone back in the boat" and re-employed, Pastore said. "But ever since, I've had a hard time finding a firm that really understands our market, which is Connecticut and New York."
Elaborating, Pastore said hedge fund managers and other clients in Fairfield County expect sophisticated legal services to be provided with a speed and efficiency that "not everyone gets.
"The way I see it, we're in a customer service business," said Pastore, a Ridgefield, Conn., resident. "We're good at what we do, we're smart people but we've also got to provide value to our clients. And that in my mind means you don't bill them disproportionately to the task."
What he means by that, is if a client has a dispute that's worth $5,000, "and you bill them $5,000, then you haven't added any value for your client. Instead, you've hurt the client in that situation."

france was not loyal to Saddam, we participated in the first Gulf war remember, and we still support your war in Afghanistan. We are maybe foolish to still support this war, we should withdraw and totally review our alliances, instead of the us looking for friends in the east, Russia and China in special. The US needs to make a big gesture if not they'll loose their last allies. And France, on the contrary to Russia, China and brasil, still is a US-ally. But the us has confused friendship with subjugation, we are not the kind of people to accept us-dictates, especially based on obvious lies such as in Iraq.So what of France and its loyal and brave defence of Saddam
Hussein and his invasions, his mass-murder, his genocide?
Where has all that loyalty to a dictator gotten them in 2 years?
IF France had been loyal to Saddam we would have disregarded the embargo as Iran, Russia and Syria did and provide him billions of the most advanced weapons. Perhaps we SHOULD have done this, since it would have given Iraq a fair chance to defend itself and would have prevented this invasion which costed over 100000 lifes and fueled extremism all over the muslim world.
You talk like someone who don't know anything about the world. Just visit egypt and talk to the people, if you find a single person supporting the us-invasion I'll give you a brand new car... you are always talking about democracy in the Arab world but if there would be really democracy you will be the biggest looser, since Arabs (ordinary Arabs, not their coward leaders) hate your guts (not ours) and will elect anti-American leaders, as they will do in Iraq as well. Your rethorics is so full of BS, for example claiming Iraq was part of the war against "islamofascism" while of course everyone including the us-senate knows Saddam was an ennemy of Al-Quaida and Iraq was one of the most secular countries in the arab world where religious minorities were protected. All this of course has come to an end, and yet one more country will soon be turned into an islamic republic. And they all owe it to G W BUSH, NOT France.... france is your scapegoat to conceal your own failures.
it has always been around 10%, in the us unemployment is rising more than in france, especially since G W took power.--Unemployment is at 10 percent and rising;
so what about the rise of the national debt and the deficit under Bush junior?--the national debt has doubled in eight years to
EUR 1,000 billion;
Still among the best of Europe. btw can you provide this statistics?--the country has fallen to tenth position in the
European Union for income per head of population.
Yet in GB around 80% of the people disapproved the war in Iraq including the majority of members of his own labor party. But in GB the problem is that the rightwing opposition party is even worse and certainly no alternative. But the leftwing maire of London who refused to meet bush and always criticised the war in Iraq is increasingly popular, and perhaps he'll succeed Blair.The German now concede that The UK is the leading power in
Europe, Shroeder's approval ratings is in the mid-twenties
while Tony Blair is set to win an unprecedented 3rd term.
Yep, they want a more equal society, unlike the us where child poverty is most widespread among western nations. In the US 50% voted for an exposed lier who sent 1000's of young Americans to die in the Iraqi desert. 50% voted for a government and party including rightwing christian fundamentalists who want to punish abortion with prison sentences and forbid the teaching of the evolution theory... 50% voted for a party wich mainly represents the interests of the weapons and petrol industry, and refusing to ratify treaties to protect world environment... 50% of Americans voted for a person who made the US a roughe internationally isolated country.--More than 20 percent of the French electorate say they
will vote for the Soviet-style Communist far-left;
Le Pen, as much as I dislike this fascist, is not nearly as rightwing as many republicans in the us.--More than 20 percent of the electorate say they may vote
for the intend to chose the xenophobic Le Pen far-right;
our european system is superior and garantees a better life compared to the us where you have to pay an arm and a leg for virtually everything, where there's no job security, medicines, university tuitions are extremely expensive and where you have much less vacation and much longer days to work. We won't change this, any government changing this system is suicidal.Chirac center-right government has to act like weasels because
its unable carry out any major structural reform all its done
was to tinker with the pension system.
you may jump to this conclusions because you don't read or speak French so how would you know? ever heard of Cannes festival? many french movies are garbages, but this equally is true for 95% of American movies. my preferate French movie is "baise-moi"...--Discounting cliché-ridden one-offs like "Amélie Poulain," there
has not been a film of world significance for a quarter of a
century, and the same is true in literature and the visual arts.
Hahahaha, ISRAEL is in a deep economic crisis, France is not. The US virtually is begging france to invest in Iraq and American investments have NOT been reduced, since american companies do not necessarily listen to the Bush-administration and continue to invest in france.--and lastly, France current and historic anti-semitism and
outright loathing of a "little sh|tty country" has cost it
$billions in foreign investement - it's price the France pays
for cuddling Islamo-Facists like Arafat and Saddam.

Regarding Israel don't worry! We are in crises for over 4000 years. And we continue to handle crises long time after many peoples finished their crises.
the economic growth has slowed down since 2000 as all over Europe but it's starting to grow again, France is still among the most competitive countries in Europe with an incredible living standard. Israel may survive, but its economic conditions and stability are not an example to France for sure...
Spoken like a true bus rider.
I get the same, as for Xela's next link.

[,QUOTE=Mediocrates]The EU has approximately the same total GDP as the US but with 450 million people vs 290 million. So on average growth and percapita GDP is lower
We will all be suffering about incomes and taxes , but is only money in US, France needs also more brain,we suffer a big lake of thinkers ,they all left France to Britain those days.
The NY Times had this report earlier this month
[..In less than a decade, there has been a radical shift in France's
prison population, a shift that officials and experts say poses a
monumental challenge.
Despite making up only 10 percent of the population,
Muslims account for most of the country's inmates and a growing
percentage of the prison populations in many other European countries,
an indication of their place at the bottom of the Continent's hierarchy.
With radical strains of Islam percolating through Europe, authorities
are unsure how to address the spiritual needs of the prisoners while
guarding against the potentially toxic mix of extremist ideology and
a criminal past. One result is often neglect, which officials say
can be a still greater force for radicalization. ..]
Read the full article here:
Indeed - looks like France has a problem, in about a month the IMF
will release the statistics of the ever decreasing investment flows
into France. There's a reason for it too.
[..The greatest danger to the West from Islamist extremists is now
centred in Europe, not the Middle East, according to two experts...]
and now for a few choice quotes from takeo --> #32
--[.. france was not loyal to Saddam,.. ]
oh yeah?
--[And France, on the contrary to Russia, China and brasil,
still is a US-ally..]
Thanks to de Villipin - demoted to "Interior Minister" after Chirac
was trounced in last March elections - France is, as Chirac puts it
"a friend" - it is no longer an ally. Please let's not be delusional : )
"Friend" exchange embassies and are not at war. Allies are totally
--[..You talk like someone who don't know anything about the world.
Just visit egypt and talk to the people...]
The question is not doing what the Arab street wants, its about doing
the right thing.
Here's what Saddamites and France has forgotten -- and what will always
remembered in the history books:
Their beloved Saddam in 1990, invaded a sovereign member of the United
Nations, it was forceably expelled, Iraq signed a cease fire in which
the key demand from the UNSC was to prove disarmament in six
months. 13 years later it still refused to prove disarmament,
and as a state sponsor of Islamo-Terrorism after Sept.11th - it was
given one chance. Iraq refused to prove disarmament once again
and today Saddam Hussein sits in a prison awaiting trial for geneocide.
France and Saddamites did all it could to keep Saddam Hussein in power
longer. Thus permanently damaging the United Nations credibility for
a generation -- much like the League of Nations in 1934.
For a nation pretty much defeated in WWI, conquered in WWII,
surrendering at Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam, defeated in Algeria, chased out
of most of Africa and currently having half its Ivory Coast in rebel hands:
France and takeo sure seems to enjoy lecturing the USA about "I told you
so" in Iraq.
The day France has a victory at anything, that'll be the day the rest
of the world will listen to its whine about Iraq.
France inherently supported Saddam Hussien. He and France are the historic
and isolated losers.
--[..our european system is superior..]
Everybody believes their own system is superior, Mexico, Ireland etc -
whatever is it, nothing new here - just don't forget that whatever system
exists, "Europe is superior" because you are under adult supervision the US

12/12/12: Aaron Rodgers Day
By: Kris Schuller
Updated: December 12, 2012
Green Bay, WI (WFRV) For many people across the world today's date - December 12, 2012 or "12-12-12" - means a special wedding day, or a unique birthday. However, here in Packerland, "12-12-12" holds another meaning. It's a day set aside statewide, to specifically honor the Packers MVP quarterback and a day to keep up the fight against childhood cancer.
Every Sunday during football season Aaron Rodgers' play proves to Packers fans why he deserves to be cheered. Today number 12's efforts, were officially honored by all in Wisconsin - on this official "Aaron Rodgers Day."
"Thank you. Yes it's exciting," said Aaron Rodgers in the team's locker room. "I want to thank all the kids wearing my jerseys today and the ones who aren't as well."
"He does a lot for young lives, this community," said Green Bay Mayor, Jim Schmitt. "He's not only a gifted athlete, but an all around good guy and people want to celebrate this special day."
"I still cry every time I go to Lambeau Field, " said Jennifer Brilowski of Stevens Point.
This Stevens Point native is credited with creating the day. A longtime fan of Rodgers play and his off the field support in the fight against childhood cancer, she created a Facebook page, asking that "12/12/12" become Aaron's special day. The idea caught the attention of state lawmakers, who unanimously approved it earlier this year.
"I never expected it to go this far," said Brilowski.
"It's really special - it's a great honor," said Rodgers. "I appreciate the recognition from Governor Walker and the folks who started the Facebook page that liked it enough to gain some recognition."
And while the day was marked by fans embracing the fun of it all, lots of jerseys - photos - even a wedding or two, Rodgers hopes those who support him will also back the MACC Fund - Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer.
"It's tough at times when you get to know people and they are not here anymore, " said the Packers MVP. "But it's my opportunity to use the platform I've been given to make a difference.
Both Rodgers and Brilowski are urging people to make a $12 dollar donation today to the MACC Fund by visiting the organization's website.

The Harrells Christian Academy varsity boys and girls lost road games to Village Christian Tuesday night, the girls in a breath-holding 45-43 match and the boys by a far larger margin, 65-52.
In the barn-burner girls game, the Lady Crusaders started out on top, leading after one quarter 10-6 and controlling the second period, taking a 28-17 lead into the half.
But Village Christian wouldn't go away, easing their way back in the third quarter and holding Harrells at the same time. At the end of the frame, the score was 37-21.
The fourth quarter proved to be the turnaround for Village, who outscored Harrells 23 to 6 to get back in the game and secure the win.
Regan Murphy led scoring for the Lady Crusaders with 19 points and 4 rebounds. Also scoring was Choloe Campbell, 7 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals; Bucky Everette, 7 points, 6 rebounds, 6 steals and 3 blocks; Margaret Clark, 4 points, 4 rebounds; Emily Benton, 2 points, 5 rebounds and 5 steals; Anna Huff, 2 points, 6 rebounds; and Haylee Parks, 2 points and 3 rebounds.
The loss puts Harrells record at 15-3 overall and 7-2 in conference. Their next game is Thursday, Feb. 7 at home versus Coastal Christian High School.
The varsity Crusaders put up a valiant effort against the home playing Village Christian team, but couldn't secure the win.
Village led after the first quarter 17-6, but the Crusaders fought hard to overcome the deficit. Village, however, had other ideas, pouring on the defense in the second period and creating offense from turnovers. At the break Village was up 42-17.
But the Crusaders continued to give it all they had, staying in the game and fighting their way back from a double-digit deficit. The Harrells boys had a strong showing in the fourth, outscoring Village 20 to 5, but the spurt was too late to overcome the deficit.
Graham DiPinto led scoring for the Crusaders with 24 points. Also scoring was Patrick Walker, 6; Kelly Nelms, 6;Hayden Parks, 4; Josh Driskill, 4; Zack Carlton, 2; Zachary Batts, 2; Chris Cannady, 2; John Wesley Hairr, 1

Astronomy on the Desktop
Many people's initial exposure to science is through astronomy, and they are inspired by that first look through a telescope or their first glimpse of a Hubble image. Several software packages are available for the Linux desktop that allow users to enjoy their love of the stars. I look at several packages in this article that should be available for most distributions.
The first is Stellarium, my personal favorite for day-to-day stargazing. When you install it, you get a thorough star catalog. By default, Stellarium starts up in full-screen mode. The layout makes for a very attractive display of the sky above you, and almost all the details of the display are customizable.
Figure 1. Opening Stellarium gives you a look at the local sky.
If you hover your mouse pointer over either the bottom-left border or the lower-left-side border, one of two configuration panels appears. From here, you can set visual items, such as constellation outlines, constellation names, whether galaxies and nebulae are visible, as well as a coordinate grid. You also can set location and time values. This means you not only can see what the sky looked like in the past or what it will look like in the future, but you also can see what it looks like on the other side of the planet. Additionally, you can add even more stars to the catalog that Stellarium uses.
Figure 2. You can set the time so it's later, letting you check out what you might want to look for that evening.
Figure 3. The configuration window lets you download even more star catalogs.
Stellarium includes a script capability. With it, you can script views of starfields and share them with others. When you install Stellarium, you get several demo scripts to use as examples. As of version 0.10.1, there is a new scripting engine based on the Qt scripting engine. A full API is available, allowing you to interact with all of the functions that Stellarium provides. It is a full scripting language called ECMAscript. You may know it better as JavaScript. You can define your own functions, encapsulating larger chunks of work. There is a for statement, providing a loop structure that will look familiar to C and Java programmers.
To access and run scripts in Stellarium, you need to open the configuration window and click on the scripts tab. Once you've written your own scripts and want to run them, you can place them in the scripts subdirectory of the user data directory. On Linux machines, the user data directory is $HOME/.stellarium. Once you put your script files there, along with any textures they may require, they will show up within the list of scripts in the configuration window. A plugin architecture also is available, but it is much harder to use, and the API varies from version to version.
The nice thing about Stellarium is that it isn't limited to your computer. It can interact with the real world in a couple ways. The first is through telescope control. Stellarium provides two different mechanisms for controlling your telescope. The older mechanism is a client-server model. The server runs as a standalone application that connects to and controls one telescope. It then can listen to one or more clients, which can include Stellarium. Several options are available for the server portion, and they provide control for many telescopes from Meade, Celestron and others. The second mechanism is a plugin for Stellarium, which first was available in version 0.10.3. This mechanism can send only slew instructions to the telescope, which essentially are "go to" instructions.
One major warning is that Stellarium will not stop you from slewing to the sun. This could damage both eyes and equipment if you don't have proper filters on your telescope, so always be careful if you are working during the day.
The plugin can interact with pretty much any telescope that understands either the Meade LX200 interface or the Celestron NexStar interface.
The other way Stellarium can interact with the real world is as a planetarium. Stellarium can handle the calculations involved in projecting over a sphere. This way, you can make a DIY planetarium. You need a dome onto which you can project your display across the inside. You also need a video projector and a spherical security mirror. Use the spherical distortion feature in Stellarium and then project the results through the video projector and onto the mirror. Then, you can lie back under the dome and see the sky above you. The Stellarium Web site has links to groups on the Internet where you can find help and hints when building your own planetarium.
The other popular astronomy program is Celestia. Celestia is a three-dimensional simulation of the universe. Where most astronomy software shows you what the sky looks like from the surface of the Earth, Celestia can show you what the sky looks like from anywhere in the solar system.
Figure 4. When you first open Celestia, you get a satellite-eye view of the Earth.
Joey Bernard has a background in both physics and computer science. This serves him well in his day job as a computational research consultant at the University of New Brunswick. He also teaches computational physics and parallel programming.
where are the stars?
got stellarium v0.11.2 on fedora 16, but unlike v0.11.1 on ubuntu 11.04, my sky looks practically empty. only major objects depicted. or maybe my version of stellarium is actually for liliput? :)

Tons more available
The Ubuntu Wiki has a nice list with a ton more software, though I haven't had the chance to check any out aside from Stellarium and Celestia yet. Too much light pollution here to take a huge interest...
Good article, great software
I've been using both Stellarium and Celestia on Linux for many years, they are both excellent programs.
What about KStars
KStars should have been included in this article.
Love this stuff
I'll have to try Stellarium, been using Celestia for a long time now. Thanks...

First Data and Raiffeisen Bank Expand Collaboration in Poland
- Category: International
WARSAW, January 9, 2012 – First Data Corporation, a global leader in electronic commerce and payment processing, has expanded its cooperation with Raiffeisen Bank Poland, one of the leading banks in the country. First Data's Polish business will provide card payment processing services to support the bank with its implementation of a new contactless card programme.
First Data and Raiffeisen Bank Poland have cooperated for over ten years, during which time First Data has delivered a comprehensive range of outsourcing services for issuing and processing of debit, charge and credit cards. Raiffeisen Bank's current customer offering will be expanded to include contactless payments functionality with the introduction of Visa payWave payment cards which are embedded with an antenna and microchip.
The cards can be used by cardholders to make quick low-value cashless payments at thousands of merchant locations across Poland and all over the world. Cardholders simply place the card near a special terminal equipped with a contactless card reader to initiate the transaction. The transaction is executed in a split second.
"Our aim is to understand the needs of our customers and offer innovative cashless payment solutions to meet these needs," said Andrzej Swiech, director of the Individual Clients Department, Raiffeisen Bank Poland. "Issuing cards, equipped with contactless technology, in cooperation with a trusted provider such as First Data, will enable us to achieve our objective. The addition of Visa payWave cards to our portfolio will also enable us to offer a safe, convenient product to our customers and will strengthen our position as a modern financial institution."
"The number of merchants offering the convenience of contactless cashless payments, which forgo PIN entry, is gradually increasing," said Grzegorz Dlugosz, a member of the board at First Data's business in Poland. "Thanks to this ability to reach new market segments, which previously did not accept cashless payments, contactless cards are becoming increasingly popular in Poland and are another step toward replacing cash payments with payments made using cards."

WILLIAMSON — Prescription drug abuse continues to be one of the most prevalent issues in Appalachia, seemingly affecting every facet throughout the area.
The Strong Through Our Plan (STOP) Coalition will hold an open forum town hall meeting 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5, at Williamson City Hall to discuss these issues, get feedback from the community and talk about how to move forward in the fight against prescription drug abuse.
West Virginia leads the nation in overdose deaths per capita, and it's estimated that approximately 150,000 citizens need treatment for substance abuse problems. Mingo County is ranked seventh out of the state's 55 counties in overdose deaths caused by prescription drugs, falling from the number two spot in years prior.
STOP also plans on hosting three more town hall meetings in the upcoming months to discuss underage drinking, synthetic drugs, such as K2 or bath salts, and drug-endangered pregnancies.
Everyone is welcome and invited to attend the upcoming meeting as well as future ones.
The series of meetings is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention and the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau for Behavior Health and Health Facilities.
For more information, visit www.drugfreemingo.org, email Assistant Director Joshua Murphy at email@example.com or call (304) 664-3986.

Right on the heels of a very successful Google I/O conference during which Google has shows on stage that Chrome was becoming as good on mobile as it is on desktop, the company also launched a new television ad that I've seen a couple of time on live TV since. It is true that with 750M active users, it's hard to argue that Chrome isn't experiencing a meteoric rise. However, shortly after the new ad came out, Microsoft has allegedly build a spoof that capitalizes on what many end-users think: that everything Google does is used to spy on us, in order to sell more ads.

Dell introduced us to its XPS 18 back in March of this year as the company's newest all-in-one (AIO) computer, which at the time, we were impressed with its ultra-thin 18.4-inch display. In fact, the entire computer fits within the display making it quite an AIO to use as you don't have to worry about setting up a mini tower somewhere on your desk, instead, just finding a spot for the display and you'll be good to go.
During our hands-on time with the XPS 18, Dell made sure to emphasize its intention was to provide a true AIO experience and doesn't want its users to think the product is just a rather large tablet. Instead, Dell wants us to consider the XPS 18 as a "mobile" computer that you can easily move around your home and not one that you would take with you to the park or across the U.S. when traveling. But if you're looking for a desktop replacement, is the XPS 18 the kind of machine you would want instead of buying an actual desktop PC? That's one of the factors we'll be looking into of our review of the XPS 18. So, without further ado – let's take a look at what Dell has to offer, shall we?

Still need to upgrade to Skype? Microsoft offers one month of free calling to get started
Microsoft is sending out more reminders to consumers who are still using Messenger with an offer for them to upgrade to Skype. On April 8th, the company will be merging both Messenger and Skype together, including IM and contact lists. This will require consumers to upgrade to the communication service, which will see the end of Messenger as we know it. To help soften the blow, Microsoft is offering a month of free calls for those who sign up with Skype.
To be able to redeem the welcome gift, one has to download and install the latest version of Skype, sign into a Microsoft account (using the same email address used for Xbox, Outlook.com, etc.) and head on over to Skype to set up payment details and you're good to go. This trial enables consumers to call mobile phones and landlines in numerous countries.
The reason why said details are required is that a subscription ($9.99) will automatically be started once the free trial is over - so be sure to cancel before the trial is up (by the 27th day) should you not wish to pay. It's stated on the website that a promotional price will be offered for those who sign up for the paid subscription with over 50% off the usual price.

Any clarification on what happens to the messaging app for Windows and in particular Windows Phone 7.x? I assume they wtill still function the way they do, but from what I've read it is just a matter of time.
zeronoise says:
the backend of the messenger app is already using Skype so it should continue to function
accursedvenom says:
Too bad the Skype app on 7.x is worthless.
dam s says:
It's the opposite, is Skype using the backend of Messenger, for message service
LaNiQuE says:
Hey Rich is this only for U.S Skype users or could my cousin in Italy get the free trail
adrian1338 says:
actually it looks like its for all users
stumpy1570 says:
Does this mean all im's from Skype will show up under my messaging hub on the phone April 8th?
dam s says:
already now the message from Skype show up under Messange Hub (if the message are sent from skype to messenger account)
inteller says:
everyone needs to understand Messaging app != Windows Live Messenger. The Messaging app on all the respective formats will continue to work, MS is just exercising everything "Windows Live"
ListenUpGuys says:
I have a Skype account and a Hotmail, both of which I want to keep. Can I associate my Hotmail email with my existing Skype name, keeping both as one account?
AtOmIc031 says:
I think you can :)
tbonenga says:
If I use Tmobile for my cellular service. I also use a Verizon jetpack for when I'm outta Tmobiles service area. Could I port my Tmobile # to Skype and cancel my Tmobile cellular service? I'm currently using a Rogers Nokia 920. If I basically just ran the phone off WiFi and Skype would I loose any features?
iRS73 says:
Still no notification when i get a message....... but i love updates :)
uopjo6 says:
Did I mention Video calling with Skype on a 920 burns your hands. No joke.
Mark3dyn says:
I had the previous version installed, but when Skype calls came in and I wanted to answer on my MacBook, it wouldn't let me if the phone was logged in. It would be a very rare occasion that I'd use Skype on the phone vs my laptop or desktop. Anyone else have this problem?
Bob101910 says:
This might explain why messenger doesn't work on my phone anymore when I change my status to online.
Etios says:
Skype app on WP 7.5 and 7.8 is a horrible,unusable mess, MS please update your app on your own platform so that its atleast in usable condidtion before updating the rival platforms wilth latest features.
accursedvenom says:
Sean D. says:
Does anyone know of a way to have people's real names show up in the Skype contacts? I have a bunch of contacts in skype and I have no clue who they are.
MadSci2 says:
Watch out MSoft. CISCO Phone is in beta, but already beginning to eat up enterprise VOIP, and it will have an App for Windows Phone 8. You heard it here first ;-)
Wilbur Klick says:
I don't want skype.
I just want to continue using my email (had this account for over 10 years).
Previous announcements said that the email account would continue to be free.
But now I'm getting the impression that I must pay for skype (even though I don't want it and have not plans of using it).
Therefore - the email account will not be free because I'm being forced to pay for skype in order to keep my email?
Is that correct?

If I review more speakers like the Gallo Acoustics Nucleus Reference Strada, my Office Depot bill will skyrocket. Within the first 2 minutes of listening to this speaker, I filled a page and a half of my lab notebook with verbiage — and the torrential scribbling continued for days, consuming paper faster than a schnauzer snarfs up Snausages.
The writer F. Scott Fitzgerald famously said there are no second acts in American lives. But what about third acts? Speaker impresario Sandy Gross is a cofounder of two of the best-known companies in the home theater/audio biz: Polk Audio and Definitive Technology.
Ah, the remote control. The gizmo that gets no respect. Lost under the sofa cushions, berated when its batteries are dead, made into a chew toy by the dog, cursed at for having too many buttons, cursed at for having too few. And now the poor thing seems destined to become yet another fine piece of technological roadkill.
Epson's new 9700UB projector offers a lot of letters for $3,200. Letters like ISF, THX, HQV, E-TORL, and 3LCD. All of those acronyms mean something to a knowing videophile, but they don't in themselves guarantee a good-looking picture. With projectors, however, certain acronyms can give some indication of the steps taken toward producing quality video.

It might just be my eyes, but the BeoSound 8 has a certain visual resemblance to a Fiat 500, or maybe a Frogeye Sprite. Or Peter Lorre. There's just something visually arresting about the two connected discs. To be honest, I'm not sure if I like it. Then again, what do I know? My idea of high style is putting on shoes.

Birders theorize that he might have been blown off course by a jet stream. but the plucky bird found himself an extremely bird-friendly Eastern habitat at the home of Muriel and John Stahl at 2049 Windsor Road. Mrs. Stahl said that she and her husband are serious gardeners but are also interested bird watchers and have numerous feeders around their magnificently landscaped yard, which backs onto Brookside Creek. They feed both birds and mallard ducks each day. and the off-course tanager somehow found this very habitable backyard for his new winter home. •'We first noticed him around December 31. but we were busy with the holidays. 1 don't know how long he was there before. Normally the Stahls have at least 20 varieties of birds in their yard, but those birds are normal for the area. 1 noticed this bird — yellow with dark wings, tail and back, a yellow beak and a reddish head. The red becomes more prominent as it nears spring," said Mrs. Stahl. Eventually, they began to do a little research: "My husband looked up Eastern birds in the Sibley bird book since we had never seen this bird before. At first he thought it was an orchard oriole, which is native to this area, but the oriole has a black beak." Her husband put the book down and wfhile going about her chores, Mrs. Stahl suddenly noticed a picture on the co%'er. It was a w-estem tanager, and she said, "That's our bird!" The week before Super Bowl Sunday, Mr. Stahl called the Wild Bird Alert Hotline, which is run by the Audubon Society, to see if there were any unusual bird sightings in the area. . At Mrs. Stahl's suggestion, Mr. Stahl called back to mention their bird. They then sent a picture of the bird to Tony Lauro, who coordinates news of the sightings, and he called back immediately to ask. "How man\' people can we bring?" Since then at least 150 birders have visited the Windsor Road address. There were 30 the first weekend the sighting was publicized. The Stahls have a picture on their front door of the bird with a note welcoming birders to walk around the back and sit on their deck to watch for the bird. At first the bird stayed longer at the feeder and came back in shorter intervals. Lately, the time at the feeder has been less and the intervals longer. The longest he's been away is 2 1/2 hours. One warm day he even ate sunflower seeds that they had put on a table on their backyard deck. Mrs. Stahl has nothing but praise for the birders she has met. "They are so polite. They are so thankful. The}- just stand on the deck and I have to encourage them to sit down. They have come from as far away as Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Some come from upstate, Connecticut, New .Tersey, Massachusetts and. of course. Long Island and some have come back several times.

This year $4,957,022 was raised through taxes. In 2007-2008, the board proposes to raise $5,071,033 through taxes, an increase of 2.3 percent from this year.

1. | White Castle | ||
The ultimate stoner fast food joint popularized by "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle". Sometimes open 24/7, catering to potheads with a nasty case of the munchies. For fuck's sake, they actually sell a goddamn paper case filled with 30 burgers. You'll get the runs and your heart will explode...but it's really freaking good! I'm high as shit and it's 1 in the morning. Let's go to White Castle.
2. | white castle | ||
A restaurant full of little mini burgers. Burger Shack Employee - Just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers, with those little itty bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one... just makes me wanna burn this motherfucker down. Come on Pookie lets burn this MOTHERFUCKER DOWN!!
3. | White Castle | ||
The best fucking burger place in the tri-state area. Bryce and Derek go to White Castle.
4. | White Castle | ||
WC is the first hamburger chain ever opened (1921 in Ohio). Burgers were 5 cents at the time. The building was designed to show strength and purity.
WC is located in 10 different states (MI, OH, IL, IN, NY, KY, TN, MO, MN). It is NOT the same as Krystal burger. Cooked on a cushion of steaming onions, the little square burgers (with five holes for the steam go through so the burgers never have to be turned) are served up on little soft buns with pickle chips and mustard. If you order them "with everything," you get ketchup, too. You can order cheeseburgers and other miscellanea as well. The catch-phrase, "It's What You Crave," is apropos, as any Castle fan knows, they are addictive. It's the place you go to when you get kicked out of your wedding hall at 2 am, bars close, or you just need that taste. They are easy to find in bad neighborhoods, you have to look a bit in the burbs (bad neighborhoods serve 'em up faster). They can be sent packed in dry ice to other parts of the country, or you can find them in the freezer section. But, nothing beats them hot and fresh. They used to be called sliders or gut bombs, but now they are trademarked as Slyders. They are often purchased by the sack (10) or the case (30). After drinking too much, they are consumed in "time trials," to see the top speed for consuming a sack of 10. When I visit Detroit, the first stop from the airport is the White Castle on Livernois and Warren Ave. Don't bring the good car.
"Yeah, lemme have 20 Castles with everything, two cokes, a shake, and onion chips." |
5. | white castle | ||
The only place that you remember to go to after you close down the bars. usually will employ the kids from the short bus or the local trailor park. She let me hit it on da first date cause i took her to white castle.
6. | White Castle | ||
1. Fast food restaraunt which sells hamburgers.
2. Fast food restaraunt which sells drugs. 3. Place to leave annoying people at late hours, in bad neighborhoods. Family Guy: Russell! Where have you been?! You should have been here hours ago!
Russell: I was at White Castle. Family Guy: Were you buying hamburgers or were you buying dope? Russell: Neither, they left me in Patterson, NJ, at 2:15 am. Family Guy: Why? Russell: Cause I'm a nerd. Bob: Write up. |
7. | White Castle | ||
A term used for hooking up with your ex. Used because just like the restaurant White Castle, it seems like a good idea at the time, but you really regret it the following morning. Shit dude, I just pulled a White Castle with Katie last night. That was a bad idea.
