Verizon Wireless is offering small cellular carriers a chance to get new phone models faster.

Like other large carriers, Verizon Wireless sometimes exclusively locks up new models for six months to a year. On Friday, it said it would let small carriers, those with less than 500,000 subscribers, get the phones in six months or less.

The carriers that could take advantage of the offer are mainly rural.

New NASA photos of the moon show the leftovers from man’s exploration 40 years ago. For the first time, photos from space pinpoint equipment left behind from Apollo landings, and even the well-worn tracks made by astronauts on the moon surface. The images are from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which was launched last month and now circles the moon in search of future landing sites.

The photos were released Friday, in time for the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing on July 20, 1969. A picture of the Apollo 11 site shows the Eagle lunar module used by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.

It was a reunion of reunions.

Twelve Apollo astronauts reminisced, traded stories and poked fun at each other Friday night as the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing and moonwalk approached.

The astronauts, including first moonmen Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, attended the ceremony in which the National Aviation Hall of Fame presented the Apollo crews with the “Spirit of Flight” award for their courage and dedication.

The crowd of hundreds at the National Museum of the United States Air Force erupted in cheers when a video chronicling the space program replayed Armstrong’s famous first words after stepping on the moon July 20, 1969: “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Good Morning good people
There is so many people out there that have never had to sacrifice their time,
so they dont understand hard work…. I mean 10-12 hours a day…every day,
and we have a president that wants to tax us even more….
I cant work any more then I do….if we are at 58-60% taxes..we have to cut back on employees,
thats the bottom line,
The president is going after the people that create jobs, that 5% he is talking about.
That 5%… are the people that create jobs for the middle class,
so if they have to cut back…that will hurt the economy even more..there is about 21.5 million small business out there…if every small business cuts 5 jobs..thats about 100 million people out of work…think about that…talk about problems, and with all this out of control spending,
you know where we are heading….
we will go Bankrupt if you spend more then you have coming in,
thats commom sense.

That sounds like a lovely sight, Bruce. Good point about abortion. A friend sent me an article this morning, saying that abortion is going to be included in this ridiculous health care scam. Funding for abortions and to build more clinics. Nice. When did I lose the ability to determine what I wanted to spend my hard-earned money on? Welcome to the United Socialist States.

On that sad note, I must run off to work. Have a wonderful Friday.
