"I've signed a new contract
I am very pleased to have signed a new contract with Liverpool, which takes
me up to the year 2007. I am just a bit disappointed that the newspapers
printed what they did today before an official announcement could be made.
I don't know how the papers got hold of the story, because neither I nor my
agent – in fact, nobody at all as far as I am aware – had said anything to
anyone. Actually, it was a bit embarrassing to read some of the things that
have been written, because they are not true.
I am not going to go into any details, except to say that some of the figures
which have been mentioned in the newspapers have been considerably
exaggerated. This is the truth. I had been in discussions with Liverpool for
some time, and it is always pleasing when such negotiations come to a
positive end.
I love every day I spend at Liverpool. This is a fantastic club and I have
felt at home ever since I walked through the door just over a year ago. I
believe I have worked hard during my career and that I have earned the right
to play at such a great club. But I never take one minute for granted. I am
grateful for every moment I am a Liverpool player.
It may sound like a cliche, but I can tell you that wearing the Liverpool
shirt really is an honour for me. And I am proud that Gerard Houllier and the
directors are showing me enough confidence that they have been prepared to
improve my contract. This means a lot to me.
I had no hesitation in signing it. I mean, who wouldn't want to play for a
club like Liverpool? I get on well with my team-mates and the staff, I love
the supporters, and my family and I are settled in the area. Everything is
perfect for me.
I was very satisfied with my first season here, and I hope I can do at least
as well for the club this year. Apart from being happy at Liverpool, another
reason I have signed is that I have as much faith in the club as the club has
in me. We have a very good manager, who wants to win trophies, and that
corresponds exactly with my ambition. We are definitely going in the right
direction.
There are some fantastic players at this club. We came very close to being
champions last season. Because of the quality of our squad I think we can do
just as well, if not better, this year provided we keep working hard and
believing in ourselves.
I desperately want to win trophies with Liverpool. Partly because I am
ambitious and partly because I would like to give something back to the club
and to the people who have done so much for me."
Oj dudziu, dudziu, nie rozplywaj sie tak nad tym liverpoolem, bo antagonisci
zaraz ci wypomna, ze o dumie z noszenia koszulki z bialym orlem nigdy nie
wspominales. I znowu bedzie, ze Dudek olewa repre. Juz z 10 razy pislaes jak
to sie tam wspaniale czujesz, jak dla mnie wystarczy. A co do emerytury to
powiem tak - w koncu ktos odejdzie z tego klubu - albo Dudek, albo Kirkland.
Im szybciej zarzad the reds podejmie decyzje, tym lepiej dla jednego z tych
bramkarzy. Z przedluzenia umowy z Dudkiem wynika, ze chyba to bedzie Kirkland.

Jak polecasz aby uzywac MAC to moze kupic kazdy z ATHLON 64,
zainstalowac LINUX i ciagnac programy MAC pod linux bedzie tanszy i

Przy zmianie technologi lepiej zaczekac na Athlon 64 z PCI-express niz
na G5 ktory na rynku bedzie w lipcu.
Apple JUZ sie przestal liczyc na rynku graficznym.
Apple G5 w ogole nie podskakuje do Athlon 64!
Z drugiej strony PCI-express jest jedynym rozsadnym posunieciem.
ATI: PCIe-enabled notebooks to account for 60-70% of global shipments in summer
About 60-70% of global notebook shipments this summer will feature PCI Express
(PCIe)-enabled graphics solutions, buoyed by the launch of Intel’s Sonoma
platform later this month and the support of PCIe-compliant graphics chips by
the leading notebook vendors, stated Rick Bergman, senior vice president and
general manager of desktop business unit at ATI Technologies, yesterday in
Taipei.
Demand for PCIe-enabled graphics chips will definitely surge after Intel
launches its new Sonoma notebook platform, Bergman noted. The chip giant is
slated to launch the new platform on January 19, according to an earlier
DigiTimes report.
In addition, PCIe-enabled desktops will account for 50% of global desktop
shipments by the middle of this year and will continue to advance to 90% by
year-end, Bergman said.
ATI has so far shipped over four million PCIe-enabled graphics chipsets
worldwide, accounting for about 80% market share in this segment, Bergman
stated.
In related news, ATI has set up an R&D center in Shanghai, the second of such
facilities in Asia after it established an R&D center in South Korea in
November last year, according to market sources.
The Shanghai center, which will have a group of 60 R&D staff, aims to develop
consumer electronics-related products for the China market, the sources added.

Commentator: Good afternoon, and welcome to a packed
Olympic stadium, München, for the second leg of this
exciting final. And here come the Germans now, led by
their skipper "Nobby" Hegel. They must surely start
favorites this afternoon. They've certainly attracted the
most attention from the press with their team problems.
And let's now see their line-up:

10 NIETZSCHE
11 HEIDEGGER
Commentator: The Germans playing 4-2-4, Leibniz in goal,
back four Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Schelling, front
runners Schlegel, Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, and Heidegger,
and the midfield duo of Beckenbauer and Jaspers.
Beckenbauer obviously a bit of a surprise there. And here
come the Greeks, led out by their veteran centre half
Herakleitos. Let's look at their team:

11 ARKIMEDES
Commentator: As you'd expect, it's a much more defensive
line-up. Plato's in goal, Socrates a front runner there,
and Aristotle as sweeper. Aristotle, very much the man in
form. One surprise is the inclusion of Archimedes. Well,
here comes the referee: K'ung fu-tsze (Confucius) and his
two linesmen, St Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas. And as
the two skippers come together to shake hands we're ready
for the start of this very exciting final.. The referee,
Mr. Confucius, checks his sand...and... [The referee
blows his whistle.] ...they're off! [The players stroll
about, philosophising.] Nietzsche and Hegel there, Karl
Jaspers number 7 on the outside, Wittgenstein there with
him. There's Beckenbauer, Schelling's in there, Heidegger
covering, Schopenhauer. And now it's the Greeks.
Epikuros, Plotinus number six, Aristotle, Empedokles of
Acraga, and Demokrites with him. There's Archimedes,
Socrates, there he is, Socrates, Socrates there going
through... There's the ball, there's the ball! We'll be
bringing you back to this exciting contest the moment
anything interesting happens.

GERMANY 0
GREECE 0
Commentator: Well, there may be no score, but there's
certainly no lack of excitement here. As you can see,
Nietzsche has just been booked for arguing with the
referee. He accused Confucius of having no free will, and
Confucius he say, "Name go in book." And this is
Nietzsche's third booking in four games. [Referee's
whistle] And, who's that? It's Karl Marx. Karl Marx is
warming up. It looks as though there's going to be a
substitution on the German side. Obviously manager Martin
Luther has decided on all-out attack, as indeed he must,
with only two minutes of the match to go. But the big
question is: Who is he going to replace? Who is going to
come off? It could be Jaspers, Hegel or Schopenhauer. But
it's Wittgenstein! Wittgenstein, who saw his aunty only
last week! And here's Marx! [Marx runs energetically onto
the pitch] Let's see if he can put some life into this
German attack. [He starts philosophising, like all the
rest.] Evidently not. What a shame. Well, now, with just
over a minute left, a replay on Tuesday looks absolutely
vital. There's Archimedes, and I think he's had an idea!
Archimedes: Heureka! [He and the other Greeks start
playing football.]
Commentator: Archimedes out to Socrates, Socrates back to
Archimedes, Archimedes out to Herakleitos, he beats
Hegel, Herakleitos, a little flick, here he comes on the
far post, Socrates is there! Socrates heads it in!
Socrates has scored! The Greeks are going mad! The Greeks
are going mad, Socrates scores, what a beautiful cross
from Archimedes! The Germans are disputing it. Hegel is
arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of
non-naturalistic ethics; Kant, via the categorical
imperative, is holding that ontologically it exists only
in the imagination; and Marx is claiming it was offside.
But Confucius has answered them with the final whistle!
It's all over! Germany, having trounced England's famous
midfield trio of Bentham, Locke and Hobbes in the
semi-final, have been beaten by the odd goal, and let's
see it again. There it is, Socrates, Socrates heads in
and Leibniz doesn't have a chance. And just look at those
delighted Greeks. There they are, "Chopper" Sophocles,
Empedokles of Acragus, what a game he had. And Epikuros
is there, and Socrates, the captain, who scored what was
probably the most important goal of his career.
Temat: Koniec Forda Taurusa
Koniec Forda Taurusa
After 21 years and nearly 7 million cars, Ford is giving up on its iconic car
Updated: 12:24 p.m. ET Oct 20, 2006
DEARBORN, Mich. - Sometime next week, the assembly line at a Ford plant near
Atlanta will come to a halt, signaling the end of a family sedan so
revolutionary that its 1985 debut changed forever the way cars look, feel and
drive.
Say goodbye to the Taurus.
After 21 years and sales of nearly 7 million cars, Ford Motor Co. is giving
up on what some call the most influential automobile since Henry Ford's Model
T. The Taurus is credited with moving America away from boxy V-8 powered gas-
guzzling bedrooms-on-wheels to aerodynamic, more efficient cars with crisper
handling.
To many, the Taurus' death was slow and painful as Ford in recent years
abandoned the car that saved the company, focusing instead on high-profit
trucks and sport utility vehicles.
"When that thing came out, it was a big deal," said Robert Thompson,
professor of popular culture at Syracuse University. "It so much became kind
of the template of what a modern car was going to look like."
The Taurus, so futuristic that critics called it a "jellybean" or a "flying
potato," made its debut late in 1985, with 1979 gasoline shortages still
fresh in consumers' minds. The U.S. economy was just pulling out of a
downturn when the scalloped Taurus, initially equipped with V-6 and four-
cylinder engines, hit showrooms. It was an immediate hit, with buyers
snapping up more than 263,000 in 1986, its first full year on the market.
It became the best-selling car in America in 1992 with sales of nearly
410,000, unseating the Honda Accord just as Japanese imports were starting to
take hold in the U.S., and it held the top spot for five straight years until
it was supplanted by the Toyota Camry in 1997. Even near death in September,
it remained Ford's top-selling car.
Ford also sold another 2 million Mercury Sables, the Taurus' nearly identical
twin.
Dominated the sedan segment
"It was really the last full-size American passenger sedan to dominate the
segment," said Jim Sanfilippo, senior industry analyst for Bloomfield Hills-
based Automotive Marketing Consultants Inc.
Ford was losing billions in the early 1980s when Taurus was just an idea.
Philip Caldwell, chief executive at the time, challenged designers and
engineers to come up with a radically different car that would return Ford to
profitability.
"We were in terrible condition financially," recalled Jack Telnack, chief
designer on the original Taurus who retired in 1998. "He said `Look, we need
something really different, really new, that will kind of set the pace out
there.' "
Nearly 1,000 people worked on the car, many coming from Ford's European
operations. They had spotted a trend that U.S. buyers were moving away from
big, cushy cars to better-handling European models, Telnack said.
Engineers met that trend with a stiffer suspension, and they also gave the
car more interior room, firmer seats, better ergonomics and more trunk space,
said Telnack.
The car also had a lot of new "surprise and delight" features including a
cargo net to hold grocery bags in the trunk and rear-seat headrests and heat
ducts, said Joel Pitcoff, the Taurus' marketing manager at the time.
It was a hit in market research tests, and sales beat expectations, said Sam
Pack, owner of three Dallas-area Ford dealerships who took part in Taurus
research.
The car's sales remained strong until it got a makeover in 1996. Although the
second version sold well, it never matched the original's numbers.
Still, company officials said the Taurus restored Ford's reputation for
quality.
Frank Ribezzo, a lawyer in North Smithfield, R.I., is selling a 1997 Taurus
for $950 after running up 210,000 miles. It's his third Taurus, with the
first two going over 220,000 miles.
Ribezzo said he buys them used because they don't cost much and, save for the
transmissions, they're reliable.
"As far as used cars, their value just goes to hell in a hand basket in a
couple of years. But they run," Ribezzo said.
In the late 1990s, the Taurus became symptomatic of Ford's current ills. The
company focused on high-profit trucks and sport utility vehicles, leaving the
car almost unchanged for 10 years with little advertising support. In the
meantime, competitors had copied the Taurus and refined their models, and the
Taurus eventually became solely a rental car and fleet vehicle.
"It didn't keep pace. That's the whole story in four words," said Pitcoff.
Ford, left with few desirable cars, was caught flat-footed this year when
consumer tastes shifted away from trucks. Sales have dropped 8.6 percent
through September, and the company lost $1.4 billion in the first half of the
year.
Withering on the vine
"They put no money into that product for the last several years," Telnack
said of the Taurus. "They just let it wither on the vine. It's criminal. The
car had a great reputation, a good name. I don't understand what they were
waiting for."
The lack of attention to the Taurus has angered workers at the assembly plant
in Hapeville, Ga.
Earle Chafim, a 22-year electrician who repairs welding robots, said workers
met company goals, yet Ford still decided to shutter the plant.
"The biggest part I hate is we got the No. 1-selling car in the company, we
won so many awards for being No. 1, it's a shame. We're still outselling
other cars, and we're not even taking orders anymore," he said.
Ray Daniels, a 33-year company veteran, blamed Ford for not updating the
Taurus and keeping the name.
"If they'd kept the name, we'd still be here," he said.
Mark Fields, Ford's president of the Americas, said he, too, can't understand
how the company strayed so far from the Taurus. He wasn't with Ford when
those decisions were made, but said he knows well that Ford's 1980s
turnaround was led by appealing products, something he's trying to duplicate
now.
"We are very, very focused on what customers want," he said.
When the lights go out on the last Taurus in Hapeville next week, there won't
be any ceremony.
"It's not a reason for celebration," said plant manager Dale Wishnousky,
proudly adding that workers raised quality levels since Ford announced the
plant closure. "There will certainly be tears shed. There's already been
tears shed."

States Try to Control Noxious Hogweed
Mon Aug 11,11:29 AM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!
By DAN NEPHIN, Associated Press Writer
McKEAN, Pa. - Giant hogweed is far prettier — and far nastier — than its
name.
Likened to Queen Anne's lace on steroids and in the same plant family as
carrots, the invasive species is unusual among plants because it can cause
second-degree chemical burns.
It has taken root in a handful of states, including Pennsylvania, which has
a heavy concentration in Erie County.
Because of the danger it poses, Pennsylvania has established an eradication
program and a hogweed hot line for reporting sightings. Hogweed is also on
the noxious weed list maintained by the United States Department of
Agriculture and Pennsylvania, meaning it's against the law to grow, sell or
distribute it.
Northwestern Pennsylvania is considered to have the greatest number of
hogweed plants of any of the areas where the weed has turned up. Hundreds of
sites have been documented around Erie alone. It's also been found in
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon and Washington.
Connecticut and Massachusetts each confirmed hogweed findings in at least 14
towns, as of July.
"We suspect that we have a lot more," said Steven Antunes-Kenyon, an
environmental analyst with the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural
Resources. That's prompted the state to begin a public awareness campaign.
The Pennsylvania program is led by Mike Zeller, an inspector with the state
Department of Agriculture, and his partner Jason Fuller.
On a recent morning, Fuller located a massive specimen growing against an
elm tree along a field in Erie County, between McKean and Edinboro. With a
machete, Zeller lopped off some small elm branches to get at the hogweed.
After he chopped it, Fuller doused it with a powerful chemical concoction of
weed killer.
Using commercial weed killers, Zeller said, is "like shooting bullets at
Superman."
The specimen, well over 10 feet tall, had a green and purple-splotched
hollow main stock about 3 inches in diameter. Green leaves up to several
feet long grew from the stalk, which was topped with an umbrella-like spray
of small white flowers.
Margaret Corbin, an avid gardener in Erie County, fell for hogweed more than
a decade ago. She saw it growing along a yard and asked the homeowners if
she could have some. They didn't know where it came from, but told her she
was welcome to it.
Several years later, her small plants had grown and spread. Corbin thinned
them, getting their watery sap on her leg as she chopped. Two days later,
the area was red and blistered, prompting her to seek medical treatment and
learn more about hogweed. She also destroyed her plants and advises people
against getting too close.
"It's just pretty nasty stuff," Corbin said. A photo of her red and
blistered leg appears in the state's hogweed awareness brochure.
"If you just bump against it, you're probably (not going to have a
reaction)," said Alan Tasker, the national program manager for noxious weeds
for the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. "But if you get
the sap on you, it will definitely trigger the photosensitivity."
The sap causes a change in human skin, effectively turning the affected area
into a receptor that gathers the sun's energy and reduces resistance to
sunburn, Zeller said. Exposure to sunlight causes the affected area to
blister — sometimes up to several years.
Zeller has been burned nine times, once so badly that he had a brownish-
purple scar that lasted three years. Anyone exposed to the sap should
immediately wash with soap and water and shield the area from sunlight for
at least two weeks, he said.
No one is certain why hogweed is so prevalent around Erie. Zeller said some
of it apparently was brought over by people of Eastern European descent from
the Caucasus Mountain area, where it's native.
Tasker said Erie's climate may help hogweed do well.
"It loves the cold," Zeller said. "It's the first plant up in spring and the
last down in the fall."
Zeller, however, doesn't think hogweed is spreading. "More people are
becoming aware of what it is and are reporting it," he said.
The goal is to rid Pennsylvania of it, hopefully in several years.
"No plants (will) go to flower that we know of. We just attack and attack
and attack," he said.

Stanisław Skalski odszedł na zawsze ...
General Stanislaw Skalski
Top Polish ace of the Second World War who fought daringly in Poland, over
London and in North Africa
The leading Polish fighter ace of the Second World War, Stanislaw Skalski,
wasted no time and made his first kill in the early morning of September 1,
1939. Full of the chivalric instincts of another age, he landed in a field
beside the German bomber he had shot down, pulled the two wounded crew clear
of the wreckage and bandaged them up before handing them over to the police.
But what he saw the Germans doing to his country soon turned him into a
deadly killer. A brilliant flier, with extraordinary eyesight and lightning
reactions, he thrived on danger and was entirely in his element in the thick
of battle. He often brought something of its danger and exhilaration into
everyday life. He liked his drink strong and his women beautiful but
difficult. Being headstrong and even quarrelsome, he could be an awkward
subordinate, but he was a brilliant unit commander, adored by his men.
He was also an exceptionally brave man. Shot down during the Battle of
Britain, he injured a leg and was so badly burnt that he flinched whenever
anyone lit a cigarette near him. But he absconded from the infirmary to
rejoin his squadron, and since he could not walk properly, let alone run, he
would sit in his cockpit awaiting the scramble.
Stanislaw Skalski was born on November 27, 1915, in southern Russia, where
his father was an estate manager. Two years later the family moved back to
south-eastern Poland. He went to school locally in Dubno, and in 1933
enrolled at the Warsaw School of Political Science. He took up gliding and in
1936 left university to enter the Air Force Officers’ Training School at
Deblin. He passed out on August 15, 1938, and was posted to the 4th Air
Regiment stationed at Torun.
He commanded a section (six planes) of it against the Germans in September
1939. They were equipped with outdated fighters that possessed less than half
the speed and one-eighth of the Messerschmitt’s firepower. Yet Skalski
managed to shoot down six German planes before, halfway through September,
his own machine gave out.
Along with the bulk of the Polish Air Force, he crossed the border into
neutral Romania on September 17, 1939, whence they were evacuated via Syria
to France, and from there to Britain. In July 1940 he was posted to RAF 501
Squadron at Gravesend, in which he fought throughout the Battle of Britain.
He was twice shot down, but himself destroyed six German planes between
August 30 and October 8, 1940, and it was only then that he agreed to go to
hospital to have his wounds properly seen to.
It was not until March 1941 that he was well again, and he was then posted to
306 Polish Squadron, forming up at Church Fenton from the remnants of the
Torun Air Regiment. In June 1942 he was given command of 317 City of Wilno
Squadron at Northolt, just in time for the Dieppe raid. On their first foray
across the Channel, Skalski and his colleague of 303 Polish Squadron got
bored, since the German fighters avoided combat and concentrated on strafing
the landing troops. On the next sortie, Skalski’s squadron flew in front,
weaving and veering like a bunch of untrained novices, while 303 kept an eye
on them from far above and behind. A large formation of Focke-Wulf 190s saw
the unsteady progress of 317 and could not resist an easy prize. It dived
down on to Skalski’s Spitfires, but was immediately set upon from behind by
303. Within 10 minutes, 15 German planes had been shot down, with no own
losses.
In January 1943 he put together the Polish Fighting Team, better known as
Skalski’s Circus, a unit of 15 Polish fighter-pilots who fought alongside 145
Squadron in North Africa in the final push against Rommel. In recognition of
his exceptional performance, Skalski was given command of 601 County of
London Squadron in Malta — becoming the first Pole to lead a British
squadron.
The next year he was back in the Polish Air Force, leading 133 Polish wing
over the landing beaches on D-Day and during the fighting in Normandy. On
June 24 he scored his 22nd and last kill, a Messerschmitt 109.
In October 1944 he was sent on a staff course to the US, and on his return in
February 1945 he was posted to the staff of 11 Fighter Group and later to RAF
Command in occupied Germany. By the end of the war he had attained the rank
of Group Captain and apart from the highest Polish decorations he had won the
DSO, the DFC three times and the American DFC.
He was offered exciting jobs in the RAF and the USAAF, but he believed it his
duty to devote his talents and experience to the cause of his own country. On
June 8, 1947, he returned to Poland and joined its new air force, founded
under Soviet aegis, with the rank of major. But on June 4, 1948, he was
arrested for espionage along with other Battle of Britain veterans. He was
questioned and tortured, and finally condemned to death.
While some of his colleagues were shot, his sentence was commuted to 25
years. He was amnestied in 1956, after the thaw consequent on Stalin’s death,
and was entirely rehabilitated. In 1957 he rejoined the Polish Air Force,
from which he retired in 1968. He continued to take an active interest in
flying, as vice-president of the Polish Aeroclub, and published a book about
his wartime experiences. In later years he lived quietly and humbly in a
small flat in Warsaw.
It was characteristic of this awkward and unpredictable man that in 1989, the
50th anniversary of the Nazi invasion, when everyone else in Poland was
commemorating their own dead and their country’s sufferings, Skalski dug out
of his papers the names of the two Germans he had shot down on the first day
of the war and started a search for them through the German press.
Incredibly, he traced one of them and the widow of the other, and he
commemorated the war staying with them in the Bavarian Alps.
Stanislaw Skalski, DSO, DFC and two Bars, fighter ace, was born on October
27, 1915. He died on November 12, 2004, aged 89.
Bye !

1939. They were equipped with outdated fighters that possessed less than half
the speed and one-eighth of the Messerschmitt 's firepower. Yet Skalski managed
to shoot down six German planes before, halfway through September, his own
machine gave out.
Along with the bulk of the Polish Air Force, he crossed the border into neutral
Romania on September 17, 1939, whence they were evacuated via Syria to France,
and from there to Britain. In July 1940 he was posted to RAF 501 Squadron at
Gravesend, in which he fought throughout the Battle of Britain. He was twice
shot down, but himself destroyed six German planes between August 30 and
October 8, 1940, and it was only then that he agreed to go to hospital to have
his wounds properly seen to.
It was not until March 1941 that he was well again, and he was then posted to
306 Polish Squadron, forming up at Church Fenton from the remnants of the Torun
Air Regiment. In June 1942 he was given command of 317 City of Wilno Squadron
at Northolt, just in time for the Dieppe raid. On their first foray across the
Channel, Skalski and his colleague of 303 Polish Squadron got bored, since the
German fighters avoided combat and concentrated on strafing the landing troops.
On the next sortie, Skalski 's squadron flew in front, weaving and veering like
a bunch of untrained novices, while 303 kept an eye on them from far above and
behind. A large formation of Focke-Wulf 190s saw the unsteady progress of 317
and could not resist an easy prize. It dived down on to Skalski 's Spitfires,
but was immediately set upon from behind by 303. Within 10 minutes, 15 German
planes had been shot down, with no own losses.
In January 1943 he put together the Polish Fighting Team, better known as
Skalski 's Circus, a unit of 15 Polish fighter-pilots who fought alongside 145
Squadron in North Africa in the final push against Rommel. In recognition of
his exceptional performance, Skalski was given command of 601 County of London
Squadron in Malta - becoming the first Pole to lead a British squadron.
The next year he was back in the Polish Air Force, leading 133 Polish wing over
the landing beaches on D-Day and during the fighting in Normandy. On June 24 he
scored his 22nd and last kill, a Messerschmitt 109.
In October 1944 he was sent on a staff course to the US, and on his return in
February 1945 he was posted to the staff of 11 Fighter Group and later to RAF
Command in occupied Germany. By the end of the war he had attained the rank of
Group Captain and apart from the highest Polish decorations he had won the DSO,
the DFC three times and the American DFC.
He was offered exciting jobs in the RAF and the USAAF, but he believed it his
duty to devote his talents and experience to the cause of his own country. On
June 8, 1947, he returned to Poland and joined its new air force, founded under
Soviet aegis, with the rank of major. But on June 4, 1948, he was arrested for
espionage along with other Battle of Britain veterans. He was questioned and
tortured, and finally condemned to death.
While some of his colleagues were shot, his sentence was commuted to 25 years.
He was amnestied in 1956, after the thaw consequent on Stalin 's death, and was
entirely rehabilitated. In 1957 he rejoined the Polish Air Force, from which he
retired in 1968. He continued to take an active interest in flying, as vice-
president of the Polish Aeroclub, and published a book about his wartime
experiences. In later years he lived quietly and humbly in a small flat in
Warsaw.
It was characteristic of this awkward and unpredictable man that in 1989, the
50th anniversary of the Nazi invasion, when everyone else in Poland was
commemorating their own dead and their country 's sufferings, Skalski dug out
of his papers the names of the two Germans he had shot down on the first day of
the war and started a search for them through the German press. Incredibly, he
traced one of them and the widow of the other, and he commemorated the war
staying with them in the Bavarian Alps.
Stanislaw Skalski, DSO, DFC and two Bars, fighter ace, was born on October 27,
1915. He died on November 12, 2004, aged 89.

Czesc pamieci gen. Skalskiego!
The leading Polish fighter ace of the Second World War, Stanislaw Skalski,
wasted no time and made his first kill in the early morning of September 1,
1939. Full of the chivalric instincts of another age, he landed in a field
beside the German bomber he had shot down, pulled the two wounded crew clear of
the wreckage and bandaged them up before handing them over to the police.
But what he saw the Germans doing to his country soon turned him into a deadly
killer. A brilliant flier, with extraordinary eyesight and lightning reactions,
he thrived on danger and was entirely in his element in the thick of battle. He
often brought something of its danger and exhilaration into everyday life. He
liked his drink strong and his women beautiful but difficult. Being headstrong
and even quarrelsome, he could be an awkward subordinate, but he was a
brilliant unit commander, adored by his men.
He was also an exceptionally brave man. Shot down during the Battle of Britain,
he injured a leg and was so badly burnt that he flinched whenever anyone lit a
cigarette near him. But he absconded from the infirmary to rejoin his squadron,
and since he could not walk properly, let alone run, he would sit in his
cockpit awaiting the scramble.
Stanislaw Skalski was born on November 27, 1915, in southern Russia, where his
father was an estate manager. Two years later the family moved back to south-
eastern Poland. He went to school locally in Dubno, and in 1933 enrolled at the
Warsaw School of Political Science. He took up gliding and in 1936 left
university to enter the Air Force Officers ' Training School at Deblin. He
passed out on August 15, 1938, and was posted to the 4th Air Regiment stationed
at Torun.

General Stanislaw Skalski
Top Polish ace of the Second World War who fought daringly in Poland, over

Temat: Milan padrone d Europa
Il Milan & egrave; campione d'Europa
Quarantamila italiani alla conquista delle terre britanniche: non se ne
vedevano tanti dai tempi dei legionari. Nessun conflitto (si spera) con le
popolazioni locali, cortesi, ospitanti di un colossale derby nostrano in
trasferta. Il nostro calcio calamiterŕ gli occhi del mondo e potrŕ essere
fiero di questa rivincita dopo qualche anno di crisi. Perň il ruolo impone dei
doveri. Non tanto sulla qualitŕ dello spettacolo (sfide cosě emotivamente
importanti condizionano quasi sempre il rendimento), quanto sul fair-play di
calciatori e tifosi. Juve-Milan č un magnifico spot per l’immagine del Paese,
non roviniamolo. Partita storica, cosě ricca di duelli da sembrare una disfida
di Barletta. Proviamo a valutarli.
JUVE vs MILAN - La regina degli scudetti e il re delle Coppe. Per anni Torino
domina in campionato ma stenta a emergere in Europa, anche se col tempo
vincerŕ tutti i trofei disponibili. La Coppa campioni č una tortura. Vince
solo due finali su sei ed in modo stentato. Nel 1985 davanti ai morti
dell’Heysel per un rigore inesistente. Nel 1996 all’Olimpico ai rigori, grazie
a Peruzzi. Il Milan non ha la continuitŕ militaresca della Juve in campionato,
ma si esalta nei grandi palcoscenici. Adora la Coppa campioni: 8 finali, 5
successi nitidi, 3 sconfitte di misura. Č il primo a portarla in Italia nel
1963 con Rocco. Due le firma Nereo, due Sacchi, una Capello pur avendo
infilato tre finali di seguito. Quest’anno, in campionato, una vittoria a
testa. Ma quella juventina (senza Montero, Trezeguet, Tudor, Zambrotta) fu piů
netta del 2-1. Al Milan mancavano Gattuso e Dida. Il quale fu determinante nel
difendere quella rossonera, nonostante Del Piero e Trezeguet fossero
convalescenti (entrarono solo nella ripresa) e Di Vaio mancasse. Se ci fosse
Nedved sarebbe doveroso pronosticare Juve. La sua assenza equilibra un po’ le
forze. Ma il Milan saprŕ reggere al ritmo juventino?
AGNELLI vs BERLUSCONI - Quando Berlusconi lo strappň al fallimento, il Milan
aveva vinto 10 scudetti contro i 22 della Juve ed i 12 dell’Inter. Nei
diciotto anni precedenti ne aveva conquistato appena uno. Rianimň una
tifoseria rassegnata con acquisti, arrivi in elicottero e proclami.
Inizialmente si lasciň guidare dall’esperienza di Liedholm, poi visti i magri
risultati, compě una rivisitazione analitica del calcio dai contratti alle
crostate. Impose una filosofia innovatrice trasformata in 6 scudetti e 6
finali di Champions League. Nessuno osava sfidare sul mercato calcistico la
potenza di Gianni Agnelli, lui lo fece. Quella rivalitŕ fece impennare i
prezzi. Da buon sportivo l’Avvocato si entusiasmň al gioco del magnifico Milan
sacchiano, diventandone un divertito spettatore. Mentre la Juve bonipertiana
viveva una lunga e sofferta astinenza da scudetto. Interrotta nel ’95, quando
la gestione passň ad Umberto Agnelli, il quale prima si preoccupň di creare un
forte management e di riequilibrare i conti, poi dei giocatori. Berlusconi
appartiene alla categoria dei mecenati, dei presidenti tifosi. Sgrida Galliani
perché lo costringe a ripianare passivi pesanti ma non resiste alla tentazione
di prendere Rui Costa, Nesta, Rivaldo ecc. Umberto, invece, vuole una Juve
economicamente sana, capace di autofinanziarsi e di vincere il piů possibile.
Senza farsi condizionare da tifo, piazza, critica. Ciň frutta 5 scudetti e 4
finali di Coppa campioni.
LIPPI vs ANCELOTTI - Allievi prediletti di due profeti del calcio: Bernardini
e Sacchi. Capaci di mixare ideologie ed esperienze diverse in un gioco
equilibrato fra attacco e difesa. Lippi un po’ asprigno, Ancelotti un filo
troppo bonario. L’irrequietezza della gente vissuta sul mare, la pazienza
della terra. Lippi si convinse d’essere diventato cosě bravo da potersene
andare all’Inter e dimostrare alla dirigenza juventina che mago avesse
perduto. Le batoste fanno crescere e questo Lippi - lo dicono i risultati - č
migliore di quello pre-Inter. Anche ad Ancelotti č servito il licenziamento
dalla Juve: lo ha un po’ indurito, anche nei confronti dello spogliatoio.
Entrambi son stati bravi e creativi, inventando un gioco diverso rispetto alla
stagione precedente. Inutile parlare di rivincite: essere arrivati a questo
traguardo lo č giŕ.
GIRAUDO vs GALLIANI - Costretti a dividersi. Considerati i migliori manager
del settore. Molto diversi. Giraudo ha una visione industriale del calcio. Si
fa un programma e lo si segue. Ciascuno ha le proprie competenze ma ogni
problema viene sviscerato insieme. Galliani fa i programmi ma se capita
l’occasione di comprare un giocatore importante se li dimentica. Tanto c’č
Berlusconi. Perfezionisti: hanno affrontato meglio di tutti i problemi medici.
TREZEGUET vs INZAGHI - Tutti sottolineano la rivalitŕ fra Pippo e Del Piero,
ricordandone i dissapori. Ma Inzaghi fu ceduto per far giocare Trezeguet di
cui č molto simile: con Alex poteva coesistere, col francese no. Piů completo
ma meno guizzante del milanista. Determinanti entrambi, ma Del Piero č piů
continuo di Sheva: come coppia quella juventina ha fatto meglio finora.
FERRARA vs MALDINI - Due querce ai cui rami sono appesi mucchi di scudetti e
di coppe. I simboli delle loro squadre, due splendidi modelli di sportivi e di
uomini. Guerrieri in campo, ma civili, saggi, mai sbracati e volgari. Per
Paolo il ricordo del padre che quarant’anni fa a Londra alzň per primo questa
coppa.
TACCHINARDI vs PIRLO - I due registi rigenerati da questo campionato. Il primo
raggiungendo un rendimento da nazionale, il secondo inventandosi play-maker.
DAVIDS vs SEEDORF - L’ex milanista, l’ex interista. Che errore cederli.
L’anima della grande Olanda, i signori del centrocampo.
CAMORANESI vs RUI COSTA - I fantasisti che hanno immesso bellezza nel gioco,
respiro all’attacco, creativitŕ a due macchine molto muscolari.
NESTA vs MONTERO - L’archetipo del difensore. Per il giovane ruggente e il
veterano declinante la definitiva consacrazione.
ZAMBROTTA vs GATTUSO - Da gregari a protagonisti, le grandi rivelazioni della
stagione anche per la loro adattabilitŕ.
BUFFON vs DIDA - Se Juve e Milan sono arrivate a Manchester molto č dipeso da
loro.
