Revision as of 02:20, 18 April 2009
| Note: this FAQ is a short list of answers to common problems.
It is not supposed to be a substitute for the user's guide that provides much more detailed information about using Stellarium, landscapes, customization, astronomy, etc. This page will only list the bare minimum to get you up and running.
General questions
What is Stellarium?
Stellarium is an open source desktop planetarium for Linux/Unix, Windows and MacOSX. It renders the skies in realtime using OpenGL, which means the skies will look exactly like what you see with your eyes, binoculars, or a small telescope. Stellarium is very simple to use, which is one of its biggest advantages: it can easily be used by beginners. The Stellarium project was started by Fabien Chéreau during the summer of 2001 and uses Sourceforge intensively. Access the Sourceforge project page here.
Is Stellarium free?
Yes! Stellarium is open source software. Anyone has the right to download and use the software for free, to distribute it without modifying to other people, or modify the source code, all of this under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Where can I download Stellarium?
Via the download page. Stellarium is hosted on Sourceforge servers. After clicking on the right link of the download page, you will be taken to a list of Sourceforge servers, each with their location. Click on the file icon of the one geographically closest to you, it ensures a speedy download.
Where can I provide feedback?
Your ideas and comments are invaluable to Stellarium. Have a look at the homepage to see where you can get personal support, ask for new features, report bugs and even submit your own patches.
Installing Stellarium
What are Stellarium's system requirements?
A graphics card capable of rendering OpenGL. A Riva TNT2, released in 1999 or 2000, should do. Stellarium is also fairly processor intensive, so you will get higher framerates with faster processors. Any reasonably recent computer should be able to run Stellarium. Furthermore your computer should be running a Linux, Windows or MacOSX operating system.
To give you an idea of what's possible, we've had success with these older computers:
- Pentium III 800Mhz, 128MB RAM, Intel on board graphics (under Windows XP).
- AMD K6 400 Mhz, 256MB RAM, Nvidia Gforce2 AGP, DirectX 9.0 (Windows XP)
- Mac PPC's back to about 667MHz, running at least OSX 10.3.9, any Mac Intel
How do I install Stellarium?
For Windows users, run the downloaded file "setup.exe" and follow the instructions. For Linux users, the easiest is to find a pre-compiled package for your distribution. But it is also possible to compile the program yourself: detailed compilation instructions for Linux, Posix, Cygwin and MacOSX are available in the "INSTALL" file. Mac OSX users should download the dmg file, double click on it to open, the application is contained inside, drag the application to your Applications folder.
How do I uninstall Stellarium?
- For Windows users, uninstall Stellarium using the "Add or Remove Programs" applet in the Windows control panel.
- For Linux users, use your package manager if you installed a pre-compiled version.
- If you compiled yourself you can uninstall by typing "make uninstall" in the compilation directory.
- If you compiled yourself, ran make install as root afterwards, and removed the compilation directory
- First redownload (if necessary) and extract the source of the version that is installed
- To see what version you've installed run:
stellarium --version
- To see what version you've installed run:
- Then run:
./configure && sudo make uninstall
- First redownload (if necessary) and extract the source of the version that is installed
Using Stellarium
How do I start using Stellarium?
- Set your location first! The default location is Paris, France. You can click on your location on the map in the configuration window, or enter coordinates manually. Don't forget to save the changes. Do that by clicking "set as default". From now on, the sky will look exactly as it looks where you live when you run Stellarium. If you take Stellarium along on a trip with a laptop, you will need to adjust your location of course.
- Use the mouse or arrow keys to look around.
- Use the page up and page down keys to zoom in and out.
- Use the left mouse button to select an object, the right button to deselect the object and middle mouse button or spacebar to center on the selected object.
- Zooming on nebulas or planets is very interesting...
- J slows down or reverses speed, L increases time speed, and K makes time return to normal speed.
- Press the H key for help.
You are running Stellarium on one of those fancy widescreen laptops, and there is no option specifying your screen resolution in the menu. In that case, just open the config.ini file with a text editor, and find the screen_w and screen_h values. Set the numbers to the desired dimensions, save the file and restart Stellarium: enjoy the view!
Is there a user's guide to Stellarium?
Yes. Find out everything you want to know about Stellarium, and the astronomic principles you see demonstrated in the program. Essential reading. See here for more information
You can type in a specific date using the text menu (also known as the Text User Interface, or TUI):
- Press the m key to bring up the TUI.
- Use the cursor keys to navigate to item 2.1 Sky Time.
- Use the left/right cursor to highlight the year/month/day/hour which you wish to change.
- You can increment or decrement the value using the up/down cursors, or
- Type in the required value
- Press RETURN or ESC to go back to selecting TUI menu items if you want to change another setting, or simply press m to close the TUI.
- In version 0.9.1 there is a known bug meaning it is not possible to select years before 1 A.D. We're working on it.
- The TUI is disabled in versions 0.10.0 (beta) through 0.10.2. A new TUI is in development, and will be available as a plugin at some future date.
How do I use other constellation art in Stellarium?
Want to use other drawings than the ones included in Stellarium, like your own drawings, or antique drawings from the Uranographia?
You will need to change the constellation textures, and possibly adjust their coordinates in the constellationsart.fab file. If they're not burdened by restrictive copyrights, you can share the set you made with the rest of the community.
Is it possible to show more stars?
Stellarium uses the Hipparcos catalog, which contains over 120000 stars. It is currently not possible to use other star catalogs. Additional stars allowed in Stellarium may be found at the sourceforge download site: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=48857&package_id=233730
Is Stellarium available in my language?
Starting from version 0.8.0, Stellarium can be tailored to show your language. Settings are in the preferences window, or in the config.ini file. It is possible that the translation isn't complete yet, so we would be grateful if the talented translators among the Stellarium users would contribute to the translations. Info about the process is on the translation page.
I can't install Stellarium.
Read the installation instructions contained in the "INSTALL" file, which comes with Stellarium.
Stellarium installs, but does not run.
0.9.0 / OSX If you have upgraded from an older version of Stellarium, and your old config.ini file was set so that Stellarium started in full screen mode, 0.9.0 will fail to start. Just edit your config.ini file and edit the line with the fullscreen setting so the value is false.
For other problems, we can offer some accounts of what people experienced in the past. Maybe a file necessary for Stellarium was corrupted or badly formatted in some way. Try reinstalling, don't forget to backup any Stellarium files you might have customized.
Stellarium reports basic actions on standard output and standard error. This output can be read in the cmd window on Windows, or can be seen by starting Stellarium from a terminal in Linux and OS X. Have a read of this output and see if there is any helpful information. If you can't fix your problem, post a support request, and include this output.
Message on console, "locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid"
If stellarium does not start, and you see this message on the console:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid Abort trap
Try setting the LC_ALL environment variable to "C" and re-run.
Message on console,"stellarium.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience
If stellarium does gets this error, set the hardware acceleration to none
Right click desktop select properites/ settings/ advanced/ trouble shoot
I experience very slow rendering, very low framerates on my computer.
This happens when hardware rendering is disabled. If you have a 3D video card, make sure that your OpenGL drivers are installed and up to date.
Stellarium crashes after it has been running for a while.
Stellarium is pretty processor intensive. This means things can get quite warm inside your computer. If you experience freezes or computer crashes, you might have a heat problem. If this is the case, other processor intensive tasks such as mp3 encoding should lead to the same problem. In the newest versions, a frame rate limiter is present. That should solve your problem.
Some moons are in another position than they should be.
Currently we have no accurate ephemeris for Charon and no ephemeris for Neptunian satellites at all. The other satellite ephemeris should be correct. When you compare with what you see in your telescope you should enable light travel time compensation in config.ini.
The non-Latin font for my language doesn't show up
Chances are your language is included, but the program doesn't include a font for your language, as we're concerned about download size. Find a font for your language, and tell the program which font to use in the config.ini file. See Display complex characters in Stellarium for more details.
Stellarium runs fullscreen at a refresh rate of 60Hz
This is a bug in Windows XP. There are numerous fixes, and there is a small program available for it here (install at your own risk): RefreshLock.
My local language isn't complete, or some terms are incorrect
Translations in Stellarium are a community effort, so it is possible that a local translator started the project, but never finished it, or didn't find help with some specific words. You can help us! Translation tips are on this page: Translation using gettext
I'm having display problems (e.g. fonts render as dots)
Problems range from missing parts in the Stellarium interface, text display problems (on S3 and ATI Rage graphics cards), to missing stars. They mostly occur on older hardware, or on specific on-board graphics chips (an onboard Geforce 4MX user solved the problem by reverting to the older 184.108.40.206 driver for his model). We advise experimenting with the graphics driver (updating, changing settings, reverting to older versions) if you're comfortable doing this. For users experiencing problems with S3 graphics controllers, update the driver to the S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR driver for Windows XP.
Many GUI enhancement, theme engine and skinning programs for Windows can cause problems with OpenGL applications including Stellarium. Please try disabling these if you have them running: WindowBlinds, WindowFX, ObjectDock, IconPackager and Entbloess (and similar programs).
I can't record scripts (on Windows)
- Note: Since version 0.10.1, Stellarium has a new scripting engine. The text bellow applies to versions prior to that.
Stellarium attempts to save a Stellarium script file (.sts) in your user directory. On international versions of Windows, this doesn't work perfectly yet, as the program is looking for the English "Documents and Settings" folder. Workaround: open the stderr.txt file in the Stellarium directory to see where Stellarium is trying to write, create that folder, and you should be able to record scripts now.
When in full screen mode, I still see some of my desktop (on Windows)
If you run WindowBlinds or another skinning/theme program, try de-activating it, or adding Stellarium to the list of applications which should be excluded.
I can't save screenshots (on Windows Vista)
Vista doesn't allow most user programs to write to the Desktop directory. You can choose another directory to save screenshots to by editing the shortcut in the start menu which is used to start Stellarium, like this:
stellarium.exe --screenshot-dir "C:\Path\To\Dir"
In version 0.10.1, the screenshot save directory can be set via the GUI, in the Tools tab of the Configuration window.
Can I use Stellarium screenshots in my book/website/calendar etc?
Probably. Please have a read of this thread in the forums which discusses the legal implications of using Stellarium screenshots. If you are embarking on a commercial venture, you should probably talk to a lawyer and/or your publisher about it.
"There is no year 0", or "BC dates are a year out"
Stellarium 0.9.1 and later uses astronomical year numbering.
The conventional BC/AD (or BCE/CE) scheme has no year 0 because at the time of it's creation, Europeans were widely ignorant of the concept of the number zero, thus the year before 1 AD is 1 BC. This makes arithmetic awkward, and for this reason astronomers often use a different scheme, referring to AD dates as a positive integer, and re-designating 1 BC/BCE as the year 0. Thus:

A book by Vincent Hargreaves, doctor of marine biology, on the keeping of freshwater plants and fish.
Worth. Every. Penny. This is probably the best aquarium book I've ever encountered, with so many plants and fish I can't possibly memorize them all. Data is up to date and rational, each fish with it's own photo and description. Only lacking in that it doesn't have minimum tank sizes, but considering how much debate can be there, it's probably for the better.------------------------------10 gallon planted with betta

At Blue Ridge Community College, employees play a significant role in our students' lives — as teachers, advisers and mentors. Our faculty and staff assist students in finding purpose and direction in the educational process, setting them on a path to meet their career and life goals.
Each year Blue Ridge Community College Educational Foundation honors several outstanding employees for their service to the community, the college and its students. I am pleased to announce the 2013 recipients of these awards.
◆ Benjamin J. Hardy, English instructor, is the recipient of the prestigious Dr. and Mrs. William D. Killian Outstanding Teacher Award. Hardy inspires fellow faculty members to move forward. Through his work on the Student Success Committee, he encouraged faculty members to examine their current teaching and advising strategies, and ask themselves, "Am I doing the best I can for this student?"
The hours he has spent researching and learning about the ways to help our students succeed demonstrate his dedication to the students and Blue Ridge Community College.
◆ Alice Crisp, director of instructional technologies and distance learning, is the recipient of the Dr. Molly A. Parkhill Staff Person of the Year Award.
This award, established by Dr.
Parkhill in 2011, recognizes an employee for individual achievement and exceptional contributions, including personal and professional development, service to the college, leadership, initiative and exceptional performance.
Alice has been indispensable to curriculum and continuing education faculty in the development and delivery of online education. She was instrumental in recognizing and promoting the need for an instructional design expert and also served the college last year as interim vice president for Technology and CIO. Alice is a champion for professional development and creates valuable faculty training opportunities.
◆ Brian Glaze, art faculty, is the recipient of the Dr. Eliza B.
Graue Extra Mile Award. A former educator herself, Dr. Graue knew that many capable students would not continue their education if it were not for the support, inspiration, understanding and encouragement provided by their teachers.
The Dr. Eliza B. Graue Extra Mile Award recognized Brian for, in some special way, touching the lives of students at Blue Ridge Community College.
Brian has helped countless students with every kind of technical, art or social issue you can think of. He puts so much effort into seeing his students succeed (even when they are no longer in his classes). For many years, the college has promoted the importance of health in the productivity, wellbeing and retention of its faculty and staff. The college also strongly encourages the integration of good health into all facets of community college life.
◆ Kirsten Bunch, registrar, is the Wellness Employee of the Year. Last year, she was faced with some life-changing facts about her health and needed to get healthy. Because of past health issues, her doctors did not give her much hope. But, as in all things that she does, she set to prove that she could and thus began the FIGHT!
Kirsten did not just go for weight loss; she went the whole way in a lifestyle change. She has accomplished what her doctors said could not be done; she has made major life-changing decisions and stood fast to those decisions, plus she has shared the gift of a healthier lifestyle with her division.
◆ Brad Toms, Fire Protection Technology faculty, is the Dr.
David W. Sink Jr. Community Service Award recipient. This award, established by Dr. Sink, recognizes employees who have given exceptional service to their community unrelated to their job duties.
Brad shares his expertise and time to make a positive impact in Transylvania County. He has banked more than 40 hours for the Mountain Song Festival and volunteers his time to conduct presentations to students in the Brevard area. Last year, he mentored a high school completing a project on fire safety.
Additionally, he serves as captain for his church's spring co-ed softball team, volunteers outside of paid hours with local fire departments, participates with the fundraiser Cops 4 Kids Toy Drive in Brevard, works on the parade detail, and serves on the Relay for Life Committee.
Congratulations to these faculty and staff for this recognition of their contributions to Blue Ridge Community College.
Lee Anna Haney is director of marketing and communications at Blue Ridge Community College and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 828-694-1885.
BRCC salutes faculty, staff who make a difference
At Blue Ridge Community College, employees play a significant role in our students' lives — as teachers, advisers and mentors. Our faculty and staff assist students in finding purpose and direction in the educational process, setting them on a path to meet their career and life goals.

text: Eye Care Appointments: What to Ask Your Eye Care Professional (NewsUSA) - If you wear contact lenses, chances are your conversations with your eye care professional covers routine eye exams, contact lens comfort and ordering new contact lenses. But when was the last time you discussed contact lens care with your eye care professional? A recent survey conducted by Wakefield Research and sponsored by Alcon found that most contact lens wearers surveyed haven't had a conversation about lens care with their doctor in three years. "Many contact lens wearers incorrectly assume their current contact lens care routine works fine. Unfortunately, many wearers don't discuss contact lens care during each appointment, which means they may unintentionally practice poor habits that could lead to discomfort, blurred vision or even infection," says Dr. Mile Brujic, an optometrist in Bowling Green, Ohio. Below are some questions Dr. Brujic encourages all contact lens wearers to ask during appointments: 1. What type of lens solution is right for me? According to the survey, 60 percent of contact lens wearers believe that all lens care solutions are the same. Lens care solutions are formulated differently and are designed for various uses, including cleaning, rinsing, disinfecting and storing. By asking your eye care professional to make a recommendation, you'll increase your chances of getting a solution that works best. 2. Should I change lens care solution brands? Always consult your eye care professional before changing your lens care solution brand. During regular eye appointments, address any questions about your lens care solution with your doctor. 3. Am I cleaning my contact lenses and lens case properly? Your eye care professional can tell you if you are practicing proper lens care hygiene. He or she can also identify poor habits such as reusing solution or wearing lenses longer than recommended. 4. Is my lens case clean, and how often should I replace it? Follow the product instructions for cleaning and storing your contact lens case. Allow the lens case to air dry each time the contact lenses are removed. Replace your contact lens storage case as directed by the product manufacturer. 5. When should I replace my contact lenses? Follow the contact lens replacement schedule prescribed by your eye care professional. Using contact lenses longer than directed by the product instructions or your eye care professional can lead to discomfort and complications. For more information and a downloadable list of questions you can bring to your next appointment, visit PourtThatOut.com. Next >

Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hello from our service,
My name is Chas, I am so happy to help you today.Before we get started, I would like to help us get on the same page so that our interaction will go smoothly.I might give you an answer immediately, or ask you a question. Either way, we are likely to be in a question and answer format, so you will need to click reply to expert if:a. You want to add detail.b. Your question was not fully answered.c. You want to ask further questions.Since I am inviting you back to do any of these, do not use a 1 or 2 rating or this will likely NOT help you get a satisfactory answer. It will delay our task, and it tends to be depressing for the expert trying to help you, often right at the beginning of the exchange, before we have accomplished our task.I know the rating system is somewhat complicated, but you do not have to do a negative rating in order not to pay or to get your deposit back.In addition, a negative rating only serves to rate the expert doing his/her utmost to help you. The expert also will not get paid under these circumstances.Negative ratings do not cover site problems, delays, or anything else on the site that might annoy you, as experts are only involved in trying to answer your questions.Negative ratings do not cover posts that do not come through, or any other difficulties...experts face those just as you do. This includes frustrations that you might have had before meeting your expert.I would like to say that we are also on the honors system. I in good faith am going to do my utmost to ensure your satisfaction. But, it is up to your honor to click a smiley face and make sure that I am compensated for my time and effort. Please realize we are only compensated PER smiley per click and from bonuses, so extensive time with you would hopefully stimulate your consideration of this aspect of the system.
Can I get the complete model number of the unit?

Salmonellosis is an infection with bacteria called salmonella. Salmonella can grow in a variety of places, such as water, raw meat, seafood, certain pets, and eggs.
Salmonellosis is caused by ingestion of a strain of bacteria called salmonella. After the bacteria are ingested, within 6-48 hours they will pass through the stomach to the intestine where inflammation occurs and spreads.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of salmonellosis include:
- Eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs, fish, or seafood
- Eating unpasteurized dairy products
- Eating other contaminated foods
- Drinking contaminated water
- Handling reptiles, especially turtles
- Taking antibiotics
- A compromised immune system, such as in:
- Elderly persons
- Infants
- People with HIV/AIDS
- People with low stomach acidity, such as those who take medication that reduces stomach acid
Symptoms occur within 12-72 hours and may include:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps
- Fever
- Vomiting
- Headaches
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may test your stool or blood to confirm presence of the bacteria
Over-the-counter medications or oral rehydration solutions may be used to treat the symptoms of salmonellosis. The symptoms will usually improve on their own within 2-5 days. If symptoms are severe, talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
- Rehydration therapy— Oral or IV fluid replacement is needed; electrolytes may also be added to the solution.
- Acetaminophen or ibuprofen—Over-the-counter pain relievers may be used to reduce fever or treat headaches and other pain.
- Antibiotics—These are required only in severe cases where blood infection may occur. Antibiotic use in non-severe cases does not improve a person's outcome. It may cause the bacteria to stay longer in your system.
To help reduce your chance of salmonellosis:
- Frequently wash hands and surfaces.
- Wash hands and cutting boards with hot soapy water before and after handling raw foods.
- Wash utensils thoroughly after using them on raw meats, fish, or poultry.
- Do not use the same cutting boards for raw meats and raw vegetables.
- Do not drink unpasteurized milk.
- Drink bottled or purified water when traveling.
- Cook all foods to appropriate temperatures.
- Place foods in the refrigerator promptly.
- Wash hands after handling reptiles.
- Certain medications, like those to reduce stomach acid, may increase your risk for salmonellosis. Talk to your doctor about this risk.

Musial's 1942 club was Cardinals' best
They were saying goodbye to Stan the Man in St. Louis on Thursday, and I thought back to the last time I had a cherished one-on-one chat with the Hall of Famer.
One thing about Musial -- sugarcoating wasn't part of his mostly polite vocabulary.
St. Louis had just rallied to shock Houston, 10-7, in Game 1 of the 2004 National League Championship Series, and the buzz around the baseball-rich city was this could be the best Cardinals team of all-time.
St. Louis, with a powerful offense, had easily eliminated the Dodgers in the NL Division Series.
"Best team ever?" Stan repeated my question.
"No," he said emphatically, without hesitation. "This isn't the best Cardinals team ever. Our club in 1942 was better."
I was just beginning my love affair with baseball in 1942, when the Cardinals, managed by Billy Southworth and captained by Terry Moore, tore through August and September, overtook the Brooklyn Dodgers and, after losing the first game of the World Series to the mighty Yankees, 7-4, won the next four.
It was New York's first loss in the Series since 1926, and you can look it up. The Cards also beat them that October.
Musial, who died at 92 on Saturday, ended his 22-year career after the 1963 season with a .331 batting average, 475 home runs, 3,630 hits, three NL MVP Awards and seven batting championships, and with grace, sportsmanship and unequalled integrity.
For him, however, 1942 was always special. He was just 21, batted .315 in 140 games and played in his first of four World Series, and the team he said was the best he ever played on.
I mentioned to Musial that my dad and I listened to that Series, Stan's first full season in the Major Leagues.
Musial was on a roll now.
He rattled off how deep the Yankees were, a cast of superstars that included Joe DiMaggio, Joe Gordon, Charlie Keller, Bill Dickey, Phil Rizzuto and Red Ruffing.
"The [fifth] game was tied, 2-2, in the ninth inning with Walker Cooper on second base when Whitey Kurowski homered off Ruffing and we won it," Musial remembered.
Stan pointed out that coming from behind was a trademark of the 1942 Cards, a reputation the 2004 team had established as it led the Major Leagues with 105 victories and easily won the NL Central title.
"We never got down, even when we were behind," Musial said. "This team today does the same thing. The game last night was typical. We dropped behind, but the guys kept hitting and scoring and won big. [Albert] Pujols, [Scott] Rolen, [Jim] Edmonds, [Larry] Walker -- those guys are great hitters."
On Aug. 5, 1942, the Cardinals trailed Brooklyn by 10 games, but won 44 of their final 53 to take the NL pennant by two games.
As Musial talked that morning in 2004, I jotted down statistical comparisons.
The 1942 Cardinals had better pitching.
They had two 20-game winners and two other pitchers who won 13 games. Mort Cooper, the ace, was 22-7, threw 10 shutouts, had a 1.78 earned run average and was voted the NL MVP Award winner. Rookie Johnny Beazley was 21-6, with a 2.13 ERA, followed by Howie Krist (13-3, 2.51 ERA) and Max Lanier (13-8, 2.96 ERA).
The 1942 Cards led the NL in runs scored (755), batting (.268), and slugging (.379). They were sixth in home runs with 60. Only 60? Enos Slaughter led with 13.
Their pitchers led the NL in ERA (2.55) and strikeouts (651).
I mentioned to Musial that the 2004 Cardinals fell just one victory short of the 1942 team record, but the '04 club's 105 wins were the most in the Majors. Pujols and Co. led the NL in runs scored (855), batting (.278) and slugging (.460), and were third in home runs (214).
Although the 2004 Cards had no 20-game winner, they were second to Atlanta (3.74) for team ERA at 3.75.
So, with one victory for the 2004 Cardinals in the best-of-seven NLCS, I kept pushing for Musial's overall appraisal.
Again, there was little hesitation.
"We had great teams in 1943 and 1944, but I rank this current team right behind our '42 club," he finally said. "Overall, this team has more power and good relief pitching. I do think this is the Cardinals' best offensive team ever."
Then, in the typical gentlemanly Musial fashion, he added: "In '42, we played together and fought together. … We had that Cardinal spirit; we thought we could beat anybody and we did. We fought tooth and nail. They'd knock us down; we'd knock them down. Pitching inside then was part of the game."
Musial was quick to say "this team also has that Cardinal spirit, which is so important. They're an exciting club to watch."
Looking back, the 2004 Cardinals, trailing the Astros, three games to two, came from behind to win the NLCS and advance to the World Series.
Stan was hoping the Yankees would be the American League opponent, creating the same match as 1942.
Of course, it didn't happen. Not only did the Red Sox push the Yankees aside to face the Cardinals, they swept St. Louis in four games.
Years later, during a Hall of Fame induction weekend at Cooperstown, I reminded Stan of that interview and the comparison we made. I reiterated the 1942 club was a much better Cardinals team.
"Do you still say the 2004 team was second best?" I asked.
"Our team in 1942 was better," Musial said, with a broad smile. There was no reference to 2004.
Vintage Stan the Man.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government stands poised for its first partial shutdown in 17 years at midnight Monday after a weekend with no signs of negotiations or compromise from either the House or Senate to avert it.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress say they don't want a shutdown, though neither side is budging from their positions to avoid one. House Republicans want to delay President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act for a year and make other changes to the health law. The president and Democrats vow not to let that happen.
Hanging in the balance are 800,000 federal workers who would be sent home Tuesday if Congress fails to pass a stopgap spending bill before funding expires Monday night. Standard & Poor's 500 Index futures slid and contracts on Asian equity gauges retreated on concerns of a shutdown.
Asked Sunday if he thought the government would shut down, Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin, the chamber's No. 2 Democrat, said, "I'm afraid I do."
"We know what is going to happen," Durbin said on CBS's "Face the Nation" program. "We are going to face the prospect of the government shutting down."
The fallout would be far-reaching: national parks and IRS call centres probably would close. Those wanting to renew passports would have to wait and the backlog of veterans' disability claims could increase.
The political implications are much less clear. Democrats are painting Republicans as obstructionists who are trying to undo a law passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court. Republicans say they are trying to save Americans from the effects of Obamacare and that Democrats won't negotiate.
A Bloomberg National poll conducted Sept. 20-23 shows Americans narrowly blame Republicans for what's gone wrong in Washington, just as they did when the government closed in 1995 and 1996 — two of the 17 times U.S. funding stopped since 1977.
The Senate convenes at 2 p.m. Monday and is set to reject the House's latest plan to delay Obamacare and repeal a tax on medical devices, and send back a temporary spending measure.
House Republicans said they'll respond by again asking for changes to Obamacare and spent yesterday trying to shift blame for a shutdown to the Democrats.
California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the No. 3 House Republican, didn't rule out the possibility of passing a spending measure that lasts a few days to give the parties time to negotiate — if Democrats are prepared to go along with some Republican efforts to trim back Obamacare.
"We will not shut the government down," McCarthy said on the "Fox News Sunday" program. "If we have to negotiate a little longer, we will continue to negotiate."
Even that option seemed unlikely, as Democrats have said they aren't interested in changes to Obamacare, first passed by Congress in 2010.
House Republican leaders don't expect to have enough Republicans who support a measure that only extends federal spending, according to a leadership aide who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss party strategy.
If that's what the Senate passes Monday, a likely option for House Republicans to attach to the spending measure is a provision ending the government's contribution to health insurance for members of Congress and their staffs, the aide said.
Trying to push Senate Democrats into action, about 20 House Republicans gathered Sunday in front of the Senate side of the U.S. Capitol and accused Democrats of wanting a shutdown to score political points.
"This is the old football strategy," said Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Ark., holding a football. "When you get to where you want to be in a football game, you run out the clock."
In a government shutdown, essential operations and programs with dedicated funding would continue. That includes mail delivery, air-traffic control and Social Security payments.
A shutdown could reduce fourth-quarter economic growth by as much as 1.4 percentage points, depending on its duration, according to economists. The biggest effect would come from the output lost from furloughed workers.
A brief government shutdown won't lead to any significant change of the Treasury Department's forecast for when the U.S. will breach the debt limit, a Treasury spokeswoman said Sunday in an e-mail. The Treasury has said measures to avoid breaching the debt ceiling will be exhausted on Oct. 17.
The White House on Sunday released a photo of Obama meeting with his top staff, including Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and budget director Sylvia Mathews Burwell. A cabinet meeting was scheduled for today. While there was no public statement Sunday, Obama plans to make public statements this week calling on the Republicans to pass legislation he'll sign, according to a senior administration official who asked for anonymity.
The latest House plan, which passed after midnight Sunday, would authorize 10 weeks of spending starting Oct. 1 only if much of the Obama health law is delayed for a year.
The proposal opened the second round of volleys with the Senate. While House Republicans have moved slightly off their position, from defunding Obamacare to delaying most of its provisions, Democrats haven't budged in their support for the health law.
Texas Republican Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz criticized Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D, for not calling the Senate into session Sunday to consider the latest House proposal.
"There's no reason the Senate should be home on vacation," Cruz, who last week spoke on the Senate floor for more than 21 hours to protest the health-care law, said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
The Senate can act quickly to pass legislation, if all 100 members agree. If a single member objects, it would block legislation from being passed for four days or more.
When the Senate amends the proposal, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, will have four main choices, two of which avert a shutdown. He could pass the Senate bill with mostly Democratic votes or attempt a short-term funding extension to keep the government open past Oct. 1, when fiscal year 2014 begins.
The other two options lead to a shutdown. Boehner could add health-law provisions to the spending bill and ask the Senate to go along, which Senate Democratic leaders have said they'd reject, or do nothing and wait for the political fallout.
The U.S. has had 17 funding gaps from 1977 to 1996, based on a Congressional Research Service analysis. In 1995 and 1996, interruptions lasted from Nov. 14 to Nov. 19 and from Dec. 16 to Jan. 6, as Republicans led by House Speaker Newt Gingrich clashed over the budget with President Bill Clinton.
The latest House plan leaves intact some parts of the health-care law already in effect, such as requirements that insurers cover pre-existing conditions and that family plans cover children to age 26. The bill would let insurers deny abortion coverage based on religious or moral objections.
The House measure would delay a requirement for people to purchase coverage or face a penalty, and postpone the creation of marketplaces — which are supposed to start functioning Oct. 1 — where people could shop for coverage from private insurers. Further, it would repeal the 2.3 per cent medical device tax, which would increase the U.S. deficit by about $29 billion during the next decade.
Republicans and Democrats began bracing for a shutdown by attempting to affix blame on the other side. It's at least the fourth time in the past three years that lawmakers have taken a budget battle to the brink of a fiscal crisis, each time averting the worst-case scenario just before or after the deadline.
"This has been the Congress of chronic chaos since Day One, and this is just another episode," said Rep. Israel, D-N.Y.

AMES, Iowa – Jan. 27, 2013 – 9 a.m. update – While the first wave of precipitation continues to move northeast through the state, a second wave has entered Iowa from the south. Although not as intense and wide as the first band, more moisture is still moving northward through the Midwestern region.
Air and pavement temperatures are remaining fairly steady or rising slightly. Temperatures in the southwest corner of the state and along a line that stretches up the I-29 corridor to Sioux City is above freezing; most of the rest of the state is at or below freezing.
Instant icing of windshields and roadway surfaces (as well as driveways, sidewalks and parking lots) can be expected in the areas with freezing temperatures.
Several crashes have been reported this morning. Bridges, as well exit and entrance ramps, freeze first and stay slick longer since they are elevated. Drivers need to exercise additional caution in these areas. Road maintenance crews are also directing additional attention to these problem areas.
If possible, postpone travel in ice-covered areas of the state. If you must travel, reduce your speed, wear your seatbelt and put extra space between your vehicle and the others sharing the roadway.
Attention regional travelers: Check with your airport regarding potential travel delays and cancellations. Freezing rain is also occurring in parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin; heavy snow is forecast for some of the northern regions of these states, as well as Michigan.
Iowa travel information is available 24/7 at http://www.511ia.org/; or by calling 511 in Iowa or 800-288-1047 nationwide.

A recent paper written by professors at the Columbia Business School and the University of Pittsburgh found a correlation between self-esteem and lack of self-control in people who use social networks, specifically Facebook. According to the paper, users who have strong ties to their Facebook friends and spend more time on Facebook are less likely to exhibit self-control, as demonstrated by lower credit scores and higher debt levels.
According to the paper, "Are Close Friends the Enemy? Online Social Networks, Self-Esteem, and Self-Control," after browsing their Facebook profile, participants with a greater number of strong ties were more likely to experience an increase in self-esteem, simply because they care more about the opinion of those ties.
That bump in self-esteem, though, led to a drop in self-control. The authors, Keith Wilcox, assistant professor of marketing at Columbia Business School, and Andrew Stephen, assistant professor of business administration at the University of Pittsburgh, referred to research from 2006 that found consumers can be more indulgent or impulsive when they have "elevated feelings of self-worth."
The authors asked participants to indicate the number of credit cards they owned and the amount of debt they had accrued. They also asked for their credit score. They found that the more often participants used Facebook, the lower their credit score and the higher their debt tended to be.
But perhaps those participants are just bad with money and their financial straits have nothing to do with Facebook. "It is possible that people with strong ties to their friends spend an inordinate amount of time online or on social networking sites, instead of exercising or socializing with offline friends, which could offer an alternative explanation for our findings," they acknowledged.
Wilcox and Stephen questioned participants on their offline behavior to determine how much of an effect social networking really has. They found no significant correlation between the amount of time participants spent online, the percent of that time spent on social networks, the time spent with friends offline and the number of relationships a participant had offline.
"This research advances our knowledge of social networks by demonstrating that social networks can have significant effects on consumer judgment and decision-making, even in tasks that are unrelated to social network use or more general social behavior," the authors wrote.
Wilcox and Stephen referred to 2010 data from Nielsen that found social media use accounts for 23% of time spent online, about twice as much as any other online activity. Regarding Facebook specifically, in 2012 people spent about 700 billion minutes each month on the site, according to the paper.
The paper was published online in the Journal of Consumer Research and will appear in print in the June 2013 issue.
The authors conducted a total of five studies to test their hypotheses. Other studies focused on participants' health and ability to perform mental tasks like solving word puzzles. To read more about the testing procedure for each of the studies, click here.

(Stress Echocardiogram, Exercise Echocardiography, Exercise Echo)
An echocardiogram is a noninvasive (the skin is not pierced) procedure used to assess the heart's function and structures. An exercise echocardiogram is performed to assess the heart's response to stress or exercise. During the procedure, a transducer (like a microphone) sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. When the transducer is placed on the chest at certain locations and angles, the ultrasonic sound waves move through the skin and other body tissues to the heart tissues, where the waves bounce or "echo" off of the heart structures. The transducer picks up the reflected waves and sends them to a computer. The computer displays the echoes as images of the heart walls and valves.
After the resting echocardiogram images have been obtained, the person will begin to exercise on a treadmill or stationary bicycle. The doctor will compare the resting echocardiogram with the test done immediately after exercise.
An exercise echocardiogram may utilize one or more of several special types of echocardiography, as listed below:
Other related procedures that may be used to assess the heart include resting or exercise electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), Holter monitor, signal-averaged ECG, cardiac catheterization, chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT scan) of the chest, electrophysiological studies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart, myocardial perfusion scans, radionuclide angiography, and cardiac CT scan. Please see these procedures for additional information.
An exercise echocardiogram, obtained after you have exercised on a treadmill or stationary bicycle, may be performed for the following reasons:
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend an exercise echocardiogram.
Possible risks associated with an exercise echocardiogram include, but are not limited to, the following:
If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your health care provider.
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure.
Certain factors or conditions may interfere with the accuracy of an exercise echocardiogram. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
An exercise echocardiogram may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.
Generally, an exercise echocardiogram follows this process:
You may resume your usual diet and activities unless your doctor advises you differently.
Generally, there is no special type of care following an exercise echocardiogram. However, your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.

After all the months of waiting and dreaming, it is exciting when your baby is finally born. But it takes time and effort for parents to get to know their newborn, and time for the newborn to adjust to the new world.
Getting to know your new baby is part of a fascinating but relatively simple process called bonding, in which you essentially "fall in love" with each other. Although bonding is a natural process, it takes effort. Some ways to help make this process easier include rooming-in at the hospital with your baby and techniques such as infant massage.
Some evidence shows that massage of premature infants may increase weight-gain and help with neurological development.
Certified infant massage therapists often offer classes to teach techniques in infant massage. However, many parents find that spending time with their baby helps them learn how to stroke and cuddle in ways that baby and parents both prefer.

Wow, I followed this and it doesn't work, either method......
Now what? nobody to turn to, no more help available. Is it an ATI problem or a Dapper one?
I would have never believed that as "advanced" as this O/S is that it is this difficult to get a display driver to work.
This is absolutely incredible....
the problem is the driver, not the operating system.. ATI should take a lesson from nVidia.

try using ONLY 128MB of UMA memory instead of Sideport+UMA
This is a really strange problem with the HP/Compaq R4000/zv6000:
Once upon a time, ATI driver fglrx_6_8_0-8.13.4-1.i386.rpm provided full DRI and 3D support on Ubuntu 5.04 kernel 2.6.10. ( wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-8.13.4-1.i386.rpm )
Then, ATI's new releases only worked if we used 128MB of shared/system/UMA memory along with the 128MB of onboard video memory many of these laptop models have.
Now, after installing Ubuntu 6.0.6 kernel 2.6.15, the ATI driver will only work with full DRI and 3D support if I totally disable the 128MB of onboard video memory and use ONLY shared/system/UMA memory( 128MB )....
Now, with my fully functioning Ubuntu 5.0.4 installation, when I go from only Sideport to only UMA, the glxgears output goes from ~1200fps to ~500fps
With the new kernel and Xorg server of Ubuntu 6.0.6 running only UMA video memory and the 5.0.4 version of glxgears, output from that program is ~800fps. Still a 30% decrease in performance from using the 128MB of onboard/Sideport video memory.
IMO, running like this is not a fix but a crippled hack and it would be really nice if HP/Compaq or ATI would tell us what the problem is, why it exists, how it is to be fixed. So try just 128M of UMA in your BIOS and see if that enables you to get DRI/Direct Rendering working with the ATI/fglrx driver.
OK - I noticed that the wiki had been updated to reflect the 8.26.18 release but the line relating to the Xpress 200M card not functioning with the 8.25.18 drivers was unchanged. Can someone confirm if the 8.26.18 drivers work with the 200M card or not?
- I just tried it with the 8.28.8 drivers and while it does run with Sideport and UMA on it doesn't run well, including drawing errors and freezes shortly after logging in.
Also effected my xpress 200m on 64bit hp pavillion. changing to fglrx and using the guide worked. but only at 128mb uma. this could be a problem for a few people and could be mentioned.
almost work in Compaq nx7010
I tryied everything I found with this $#%&"@ ati video card and, after 3 days of little sleeping and several distros & reinstallations, the closest to a working configuration I got was with Ubuntu dapper and method 1 in your guide (including HP zt3000 / Compaq nx7000 troubleshooting). Logically it seems to work (fglrxinfo reports OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc., etc.) but phisically it doesn't (see the picture at [1]). Image is barely usable (loggin in that way I was able to run fglrxinfo), it covers 60% of the screen horizontally and flickers a lot.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Mhhh could you post please your xorg.conf file in order to double check it? You could add the following too: max resolution (seems to be 1280 x 800 TFT), GPU Model (seems to be an ATI Radeon Mobility 9200, issue a lspci -v to know exactly the chipset type). With that info in hand __perhaps__ something can be done, some log files would be appreciated too.
As you describe it could be a problem with the Modelines configuration in xorg driving the TFT display out of sync. Try a lower resolution (say 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480); if it doesn't work try defining a manual modeline for the resolution you are trying. Good luck and keep posting! :-)
nx7000 problem
I have a strange problem with the ModeLine. It works when i use the ModeLine for the nx7010, but only the default resolution of 1680x1050. When i choose a lower resolution for example 1024x768 the screen is not useable. Can somebody help me? I have testet some ModeLine generaters, but nothing works.
I found that I also needed to "apt-get install debhelper" before I could manually install the ati drivers
It worked in Etch for me.
I have Etch installed, with a Radeon 9550 card. I followed this guide, and the drivers installed without event. It was flawless. I want to thank whoever wrote this tutorial. Documentation does not get any better than this! This is why Ubuntu will take over the world, because of its fantastic user community!

Prospects give Bucs food for thought in AFL
Baseball has the Futures Game, annually showcasing the game's brightest prospects during All-Star Game festivities. Then there's the "Futures League" -- the Arizona Fall League, which puts elite young talent on extended display. As a barometer, the sudden impact of this postseason loop is unmistakable. All one needs to do is glance at some of the AFL participants last fall who zoomed to the Majors this summer: Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Brandon Crawford. Seven Pirates prospects spent six weeks on this fast track, which concluded its schedule on Thursday (the final act, the AFL Championship Game between Peoria and Salt River, comes up Saturday afternoon). All played as Scottsdale Scorpions, with various degrees of success. Most intriguing were the performances of a trio who are eligible for exposure in next month's Rule 5 Draft, unless protected by being placed on the Pirates' 40-man roster. Right now, there are 34 on that roster, which must be filed by next Tuesday. However, not all six vacancies will be filled by promotions from the Minor Leagues. Teams normally keep a few openings for future trades or free-agent signings. Right-hander Vic Black's AFL line is blatantly misleading: It shows that the reliever put up an ERA of 11.81 in 12 outings covering 10 2/3 innings. However, half of the 14 runs he allowed came in one two-third-inning glitch on Nov. 8 against Peoria. Remove that blotch, and his showing was in line with his eye-catching resume with Double-A Altoona: 1.65 ERA with 85 strikeouts in 51 games and 60 innings. For better or for worse, Pittsburgh general manager Neal Huntington simply does not believe in having prospects skip a rung on the Minor League ladder but Black, a 2009 supplemental-round Draft pick who can push his fastball close to triple digits, could be in the big league picture by the second half of the 2013 season. Right-handed starter Kyle Kaminska -- he accompanied Gaby Sanchez from Miami in last July's deal for Gorkys Hernandez -- built on his good first impression. He went 3-1 with a 1.61 ERA and 0.93 WHIP and continued to show tremendous command. The 24-year-old had 21 strikeouts versus four walks in 28 innings, this after a 22-to-2 ratio in 28 innings between Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis following the trade. The third Rule 5-eligible will be a tough call -- and is a fascinating subject. You have to love the name -- Gift Ngoepe -- and the fact he hails from South Africa. But he has shown little offensive development -- he hit .232 at Advanced Class A Bradenton this season, his fourth with the organization, and .261 with Scottsdale. He's a smooth-fielding middle infielder, but the Bucs are loaded with that type of player. The clock is ticking slower on the other four AFL participants, all of whom were drafted in 2010 and spent this past season with Double-A Altoona: First baseman Matt Curry (.285 with 11 homers and 76 RBIs for Altoona) batted .253, with one homer, six RBIs and four stolen bases. Outfielder Adalberto Santos (.340, with 17 steals and terrific plate discipline, drawing 32 walks with 39 strikeouts) hit .299 with one homer and 11 RBIs and was successful on nine of 10 steal attempts. Right-hander Brandon Cumpton (12-11 with 3.84 ERA) made a noteworthy conversion to relief, putting up a 2.57 ERA in 11 appearances covering 14 innings. Tyler Waldron (8-10, 4.89 with Bradenton and Altoona) another righty giving bullpen work a try after having started 62 of his 68 Minor League games, posted an ERA of 3.14 in 10 outings and 14 1/3 innings.

Zito receives Hutch Award for humanitarian efforts
SEATTLE -- Barry Zito's story of personal redemption got the silver-screen treatment when he rebounded from a few lost years by the Bay to pitch his San Francisco Giants out of a jam and become a huge factor in them winning the 2012 World Series.
It would be difficult to top such a monumental achievement for an athlete, but Zito's accomplishments off the mound are far more significant in the world outside sports, and that spirit was honored Wednesday when he accepted the 48th Hutch Award for outstanding community service at the annual luncheon at Safeco Field.
The Hutch Award, a national honor presented by the Seattle-based Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, has been given every year since 1965 in honor of Major League player and manager Fred Hutchinson, who died of cancer a year earlier at the age of 45, and its list of honorees reads like a Hall of Fame roster.
Winners have included Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Carl Yastrzemski, Pete Rose, Joe Torre, Willie McCovey, Willie Stargell, Lou Brock, George Brett and Johnny Bench.
Now they include Zito, who in April 2005 founded the nonprofit organization Strikeouts For Troops, which provides the comforts of home for injured troops. What began with a simple idea and simple math -- money donated to troops by Zito for each strikeout -- has grown into funds provided for a wealth of statistical categories by over 100 Major League players.
The philanthropic effort has reached beyond baseball and has built on its success by furnishing grants that assist service members recovering at Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas, the Naval Medical Center in San Diego -- where Zito grew up -- plus Walter Reed National Military Medical in Washington, D.C., and other care facilities, including Fisher House.
The money raised by Strikeouts For Troops has enabled loved ones to travel to be near injured family members and provides adaptive equipment for easy transitions at home and other necessities. It also has helped support morale-building events, research and treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder issues, and supplied holiday gifts and meals for military children and more.
"That's what really matters at the end of the day," Zito said. "It's great to have the sports and entertainment world to get us away from the daily grind of life, but all that stuff goes away when a family member is ill or when you have an illness yourself.
"So to focus on the things that really matter … that's what it really means."
In addition to founding and overseeing Strikeouts For Troops, Zito and his wife, Amber, also support the St. Anthony Foundation, which provides thousands of meals every day to San Francisco's hungry and homeless. They also support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Special Olympics, Make-A-Wish Foundation, global illiteracy, organ donation and cancer research.
During his day in Seattle, Zito also pledged financial and moral support to the "Hutch" moving forward.
His interest in the facility was piqued by a morning trip through its impressive labs along with keynote speaker and former Mariners manager Lou Piniella. The two put on white coats and tagged along with their tour guide, Beverly Torok-Storb of the clinical research division. They got a tutorial on HeLa cells, looked in on an electron microscope, saw laser cyclometers in action, and witnessed how much work goes into fighting this deadly disease.
Back at the ballpark, Zito was touched by the speech by former Hutch patient and leukemia survivor Ryan Kiggins, who ended his presentation by thanking his disease for the courage and motivation it provided him while he was trying to -- and ultimately succeeding in -- beating it.
That seemed to mean a lot more than Zito's World Series championship or the beautiful Hutch Award, which was a glass sculpture by renowned Seattle artist Dale Chihuly.
"Sometimes when there's adversity, instead of fighting it so hard and getting emotional about it, you can learn a lesson," Zito said. "There are gifts in that."
