ELLE: On the other hand, is it possible to go through your entire life without ever needing any outside help? Is there such a thing as happily ever after from the moment you say "I do"?
LA: I'm sure for some people who've had relatively placid lives and are not particularly introspectiveso they've had good external circumstancesno death and destruction or financial ruin. And they're not big thinkers, they're not the types who spend too much time wondering what it all means, they can probably get through marriage pretty happily. But I think a fair amount of people will find external circumstances, and their own desires and anxieties, can lead them into tough places. Relationships have stages. For a lot of people it's hard not to go through a stage where you basically are bitterly disappointed that the romance is not as piquant as it was in the beginning and you take that out on each other. If you can feel your disappointment, really feel it together, being honest with each other, and not think you're going to scare the person off, you can get through that and find another model. People want to think that the romance of the beginning will never die, but the truth is it does change. It sounds like such a bummer and so unromantic to say.
ELLE: I found it terribly romantic, though, the couple in the book who did that, who managed to get through all the pain and rediscover each other and create a new relationship.
LA: I think at one point the group's therapist, Judith Coche, said about that couple that they had the chance to not only stay married, but to get married. It is inspiring to see them get, later in their lives, almost a whole new romantic passage. They're lucky, and they never would have done it without the therapy. All the couples in the group have read the book now, and all of them say it's painful to read, to see how they used to be, but then they see how much better off they are and they're so grateful. Which is not to say they'll be happy forever now either. Life is harsh, and forces you back into old ways of relating. But right now they're having some good years in their lives.
ELLE: In the book you talk about how each of the couples met, whether it was a passionate love story or not, and how that plays out into their current situation. Does having a great start predict a happy ending?
LA: I was trying to wrestle with the issue of "settling." So many women talk about it, whether you should or shouldn't settleand I was trying to see if there was any data or good thinking on whether you have to be head over heels at the beginning for your marriage to be a success or whether you can be a little more practical. And there's not a clear answer about it, but it does seem that, if only because of cultural imperatives, to marry someone who you were always lukewarm about can cause problems, if only because it inspires constant questioning of yourself. In another century, when everyone had an arranged marriage, it might have been easier to do that, but now you're supposed to marry for love. On the other hand, what they say is, if the passion you have is so intense that it blocks out the facts of basic incompatibility.
ELLE: Like, you want children, he doesn't, you want to live in a yurt in Patagonia, he wants a McMansion in Scarsdale . . .
LA: Yes, it can get you into trouble. You can't rely on the idea that big love carries the day and it can last you through everythingbecause it can't. On the other hand, you can't say that it's absolutely unnecessary. Sadly, the answer is somewhere in the middle.
ELLE: You need passion and practicality. People often say, when a relationship ends, that it wasn't anything specific, that the other person was just a jerk. Is it ever really all one person's fault when a marriage fails?
LA: There used to be this idea that, if one of the individuals was mentally ill or screwed up; however that's definedthe marriage would always be screwed up. But then Nathan Ackerman, a famous family therapist, said that two neurotics can be happily married, it's what's between them that counts. There is this one couple in the book, where it seemed like she was a better catch than he was, but then you see over time that maybe she is the one who's lucky to be with him. I think if one of the people has to do more changing for things to be better, how the other person responds to the first person's changes is key. It's not like every couple in the book, you can immediately see absolute parity or tell who's "at fault."
ELLE: Another famous therapist you talk about a lot is David Schnarch, who is all about differentiation. He says that he's never seen a couple where there wasn't pretty much parity, in terms of where they were in personal development, that water finds its own level. Do you think that's true?

Albuquerque, NM
After a burglary, we hired Javier to erect a block wall and to repair our security doors. He was totally punctual and cooperative in his dealing with us. His wall turned out beautifully. I plan to use his services again next time I have a project, hopefully without the burglary first!
Albuquerque, NM
They were able to complete major repairs to two concrete walls within one day. The repairs are well done and match the rest of the walls. The crew was thorough and cleaned up after thenselves. We plan to call them back for additional work this spring.

Highlight Reel: Josh Smith high school dunks
When Josh Smith was drafted into the NBA, straight out of high school, Jay Billas said that — of all the players in the 2004 NBA Draft — Smith was the most likely to be a bust. That's high praise, as the draft also included Rafael Araujo, Robert Swift, Kirk Snyder, and Sebastian Telfair… and those are only the players drafted BEFORE Smith was named the 17th pick.
When Bilas made his claim, he must have had limited information. For instance, he mustn't have known that Araujo had no discernible skill, or that Swift was at his best when getting tattoo ink.
Bilas also mustn't have seen this tape of Josh Smith's high school highlights from an All-Star game. The last dunk is obscene.

In the late 1970s Congress began to address the effects of exposure to Agent Orange, a chemical defoliant used by the United States military during the Vietnam War. Congressional committees interviewed Vietnam veterans and consulted medical experts to explore possible links between Agent Orange and certain forms of cancer and other health problems. After experts confirmed the product was harmful to humans, Congress mandated the Department of Veterans Affairs to conduct further research on consequences of Agent Orange exposure and passed laws providing benefits to injured veterans.

Kennesaw State Fall 2013 Applicants - page 13
Just wondering if anyone out there is planning to apply to Kennesaw State for the Fall of 2013. I know the deadline is 3 months away, but I wanted to get a thread started for anyone interested in discussing the process as we go... Read More
- 0Quote from melodious82I got into GPC- but if I get into KSU I will choose KSU.I got into GBCN/Mercer. Just waiting to see what happens with Kennesaw. KSU is closer to me and, of course, much cheaper, but I've heard really great things about GBCN. Not sure what to do if I get into both. Anyone else already get in anywhere? What will you do if you get into KSU as well?
- 0Does anyone know how many students KSU is accepting?
- 0Quote from jenbrewingtonDef try again tomorrow. A previous poster said it wasn't supposed to open until tomorrow.
I can sign onto OWL express but when I click on the interview option it says I cannot sign up.
- 0Quote from stephanie.Thanks! I will, but I am also preparing myself for the reality that I may not have gotten an interview. Congrats to all of you! I know how hard all of you have worked to get to this pointDef try again tomorrow. A previous poster said it wasn't supposed to open until tomorrow.
- 0Have you applied anywhere else?
- 0Mar 5, '13 by perfectionist#1Quote from stephanie.140-150 interview letters were suppose to be sent out. They are accepting 80 for the traditional program and 20 for accelerated.Does anyone know how many students KSU is accepting?
- 0Oh wow. They're accepting way less students then in previous semesters.
- 0Mar 5, '13 by perfectionist#1I had heard it was 60 traditional and 40 accelerated awhile ago so it would be the same amount just different ratios.

Spaced Dog Ear Traditional Picket Fence
- The Spaced Dog Ear fence style is a simple traditional fence design
making it very economical. Picket tops are cut-off at an angle, providing a 'dog-ear' to
the fence picket. This simple style, and others with spaces in-between the pickets, allows
wind to pass freely through the fence. If posts are to be cemented in the ground, use only
pressure treated posts (cedar has an unfavorable reaction when concreted and will rot
prematurely). We prefer to use western red cedar on all of our styles of wood picket
fences, however we can also build most our styles out of treated pine lumber. For above
ground applications, cedar has better weathering properties, i.e. less warping of
components, and a natural resistance to insect infestation. Cedar also has a pleasant
reddish color, and a soothing aroma when first installed. Cedar wood does not require
stain or other type of preservative, however treatment will prolong it's natural beautiful
color. Left to weather, western red cedar will turn a silvery gray color.
Advantages - Spaced picket styles fences allow wind to flow freely between pickets; cementing posts is not necessary, but recommended. This style is simple to build out of components and easy to install if delivered in pre-built panels. Spaced picket styles of wood fence have a traditional appeal and have been very popular in the states for decades.
Disadvantages - Has a neighbor side (the good side) and your side (the post and rail side).
Specifications - 4' High Spaced Dog Ear

If FEED has come reasonably clean about its accounting scandal, selling a few piglets in 2012 will go a long way in establishing credibility.The acid test for the survival of this company will be whether the currently pending deal closes. I am relying on the seller's due dilligence.

Pretty Amazing Changed My Life!
Here, the finalists and winners talk about the huge impact Pretty Amazing had on them.
By Seventeen Magazine
Since being a finalist, I've resumed photography, studying, and school extracurriculars. In April, I shot a cover for PaperCity, a Dallas fashion magazine, and worked on a conceptual series involving a technique called light painting for my AP portfolio.
I spent the summer at Brown University, discussing Autism and Tourette's (among other neuropsychiatric conditions) through the framework of Oliver Sacks' writings, and in San Antonio, I volunteered as a counselor for special needs kids. Since school started up in September, I've devoted my time to cross country (we won states!) and both my school's science and computer science teams.

Good story, great reader - what more can you ask for? I wish it had lasted longer. While the case being investigated is disturbing, the writing is so good that I laughed out loud in a couple of places. If only all audiobooks were so enjoyable.

GrafTech's thermal solutions supported the succesful landing of the Mars Curiosity rover in August 2012.
Seven minutes of white-knuckled, edge-of-your-seat terror! Experts at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) share the challenges of the Curiosity rover's final seven minutes to landing on the surface of Mars on August 5, 2012 (US Pacific time). Click here to watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2I8AoB1xgU
Heat shield, meet Mars. The next video includes a sequence of images showing the (GrafTech!) heat shield hitting the ground on Mars and raising a cloud of dust. The images were taken by the Mars Descent Imager on the mission's Curiosity rover while the rover was still suspended on a parachute after the spacecraft had jettisoned the heat shield.
A dark spot, the shadow of the heat shield, enters the scene from lower left, moving toward the center. The bright heat shield itself is also apparent just before the shadow and hardware meet in the impact on the surface. The area of ground visible in the images is about six-tenths of a mile (1 kilometer) across. The frames shown here are cropped portions of full-frame images from the Mars Descent Imager.
The sequence includes 25 frames, repeated in five run-throughs for this presentation. The action is full speed in the first, fourth and fifth run-throughs. It is one-half and one-eighth speeds in the second and third run-throughs.

With his years of action-packed mission experience and a top training role, Lieutenant Commander Denver understands exactly how tomorrow's soldiers are recruited, sculpted, motivated, and deployed.Now, Denver takes you inside his personal story and the fascinating, demanding SEAL training program he now oversees. He recounts his experience evolving from a young SEAL hopeful pushing his way through Hell Week, into a warrior engaging in dangerous stealth missions across the globe, and finally into a lieutenant commander directing the indoctrination, requalification programs, and the "Hero or Zero" missions his SEALs undertake.From his own SEAL training and missions overseas, Denver details how the SEALs' creative operations became front and center in America's War on Terror-and how they are altering warfare everywhere. In fourteen years as a SEAL officer, Rorke Denver tangled with drug lords in Latin America, stood up to violent mobs in Liberia, and battled terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan. Leading 200 commando missions, he earned the Bronze Star with V for valor. He has also served as flag aide to the admiral in charge and spent the past four years as executive officer of the Navy Special Warfare Center's Advanced Training Command in Coronado, California, directing all phases of the basic and advanced training that prepare men for war in SEAL teams. He recently starred in the film Act of Valor. He is married and has two daughters.Ellis Henican is a columnist at Newsday and an on-air commentator at the Fox News Channel. He has written two recent New York Times bestsellers, Home Team with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and In the Blink of an Eye with NASCAR legend Michael Waltrip.With all the SEALs' recent successes, we have been getting a level of acclaim we're not used to. But something important has been missing in this warm burst of publicity... Correcting that is my mission here.My own SEAL dream was launched by a book.

HOUSTON, May 15, 2013 ― On September 11, 2012 the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya came under attack by a group of about 150 al-Qaeda linked terrorists. The attack lasted almost eight hours and ended with the death of Chris Stevens, our ambassador to Libya, and three other brave Americans.
The absolute incompetence and shameless dishonesty shown by the Obama administration, and Hillary Clinton's State Department before, during, and after the attack will forever leave a black mark on American history.
Before the Terrorist Attack:
Prior to the attack, Ambassador Stevens requested more security numerous times and his requests were repeatedly denied by the State Department.
In fact, the State Department actually decreased security for Ambassador Stevens just months prior to his death. Instead of the typical Marine guard for Ambassadors, the State Department decided to hire a private Libyan security firm to protect Ambassador Stevens, and on the night of the attack, there was not one Marine guarding the consulate or Ambassador Stevens.
SEE RELATED: Maurer: Joe Biden and a failure of leadership (10/14/12)
It is very rare not to have Marine guards protecting our consulates and Ambassadors. Our embassy in Egypt has 30.
It was well known that Western interests had been repeatedly targeted in Benghazi leading up to September 11, 2012. In June of 2012, Britain pulled their ambassador out of Benghazi due to the second attempt on his life. In August the Red Cross withdrew because of numerous attacks on their facility. In June the American consulate in Benghazi was attacked for the second time in a matter of months, with an IED blowing a hole in the outer wall, "large enough for 40 men to get through."
Those Libyan "security guards" the State Department hired in lieu of Marine guards would later reveal Ambassador Stevens' location to the terrorists, who would abduct, kill and drag Ambassador Stevens' body around Benghazi for hours.
During the Attack:
SEE RELATED: Why Obama let the Benghazi four die
On the evening of the attack, Greg Hicks, the second highest ranking official in Libya after the ambassador, was in Tripoli, Libya when he received a phone call from Ambassador Stevens. Stevens told Hicks, "Greg, we are under attack."
Hicks immediately gathered up the rapid response team of highly trained Marines in Tripoli and had them ready to go to Benghazi (about one hour away), when the team was twice told to "Stand down." The team was said to have been "furious."
It is still uncertain who gave the order to stand down and why it was given. Realistically, though, only the Commander in Chief or the Secretary of Defense would make the decision to send American troops into a situation like Benghazi or to let the Ambassador and the others die.
Tyrone Woods and Glenn Dougherty were ex-Navy Seals who were part of a CIA security team stationed about a mile away from the consulate at a CIA annex. When they heard gunshots, they requested permission to assist Ambassador Stevens. They were told to stand down. They ignored the orders and went to the consulate, and brought the body of Sean Smith, an American diplomat, and the rest of the survivors to the CIA annex. Ambassador Stevens' body couldn't be found.
When the terrorists followed them and began attacking the CIA annex, Dougherty and Woods fought off the attackers for over four hours, killing as many as sixty of them by themselves. Their repeated requests for backup were denied. They were murdered on the roof of the annex by mortar rounds. These men are national heroes and should never be forgotten.
President Obama was briefed about the attack, during his regularly scheduled briefing by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at about 5pm Washington D.C. time. The meeting lasted 10-15 minutes, according to Panetta. The President was not heard from for the rest of the night.
Presumably he went to sleep in order to prepare for his long day of fundraising in Las Vegas the following day.
Hillary Clinton was involved, and in fact, called Greg Hicks during the attacks. Hicks briefed her on what was going on and even informed her it was an attack, not a spontaneous protest.
Obama, Clinton and Panetta are complicit in the deaths of these Americans. No one ever requested that Americans be able to fly over and into Benghazi, which was a normal, daily request according to Hicks. No reinforcements were ever going to be sent. There were no plans to ever attempt to save Ambassador Stevens and the others.
The administration's primary defense is that no troops could have arrived within seven or eight hours to help. There are three major issues with this claim.
First, this is another lie. In Tripoli there was a rapid response team that was told to stand down, twice. We also had troops in Italy and other nearby bases that, according to some military experts, could have made it before the attack was over. http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/06/politics/benghazi-whistleblower
The second issue is that terrorist attacks are not sporting events that have a start and end time. The last time an American Ambassador was killed, in 1979 under Jimmy Carter, the terrorists took hostages and the attack lasted months. There was no reason to believe this attack would be over when it was. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2013/05/09/the-damning-dozen-twelve-revelations-from-the-benghazi-hearings-n1591336
Finally, it is very ironic that the administration's defense is that our military was totally unprepared to respond to a terrorist attack against Americans, in the most anti-American, volatile and violent part of the world, on the most iconic day for Islamic terrorists of the year. Our military has over 1.4 million active duty soldiers stationed around the world http://www.vetfriends.com/US-deployments-overseas/ . If none of them can get to Libya within eight hours on Sept. 11, that is a shameless dereliction of duty by the Commander and Chief.
After the Attack:
Following the attack, for over a month the administration lied to the American people repeatedly, claiming that this obvious terrorist attack was actually a "spontaneous protest" that erupted because of a 17 minute, homemade YouTube video that was posted months before the attack that was allegedly offensive to Islam. There was never one shred of evidence for this claim. In fact, it was immediately well known by the administration that this was a terrorist attack.
Mr. Hicks testified that he was aware it was an attack, at the onset, and that he informed Secretary Clinton of such when they spoke on the night of the attack. Ambassador Stevens' last words to Hicks were "Greg we are under attack." Secretary of Defense Panetta testified that he immediately knew it was an attack. The CIA told the State Department it was an attack. The FBI interviewed survivors, including Hicks, who told them it was an attack. The Libyan President, the day after, said it was an attack.
Additionally, the terrorists were very heavily armed with RPGs, mortar rounds, IEDs, AK-47s and other weapons of war. Generally, "spontaneous protesters" don't carry rocket propelled grenade launchers in their purses.
Clinton and Obama both repeatedly blamed a YouTube video for spurring the "spontaneous protest." Most notably, Clinton did so during her testimony to Congress on January 23, 2013, and Obama did so in a Sept. 25, 2012 speech in front of the United Nations.
On September 16, 2012 Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, went on five Sunday shows and used talking points drafted by the CIA, State Deptartment and the White House that included the lie regarding the protest and the YouTube video.
Hicks said of hearing Ambassador Rice's lies: "I was stunned, my jaw dropped, and I was embarrassed."
On November 28, 2012, Jay Carney, white house press secretary, and mouthpiece for Obama, told the press in regards to Susan Rice's talking points that there had only been a "single adjustment that was made." We have since found out that there were actually twelve different versions of the "talking points." They started out mostly true and ended up mostly false.
The reason that Obama put forth this blatant lie was to support his re-election campaign. His foreign policy was an absolute mess and he continuously said in speeches that "al-Qaeda was on the ropes." If al-Qaeda was capable of killing a current United States ambassador, in a coordinated attack, that claim would evaporate and his failed foreign policy would be the center of attention. Obama could not allow that to happen less than two months before the election.
Ex-Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glenn Dougherty repeatedly requested backup during their four hour gun fight with 150 terrorists, and were repeatedly denied. At that point they knew that they were going to die, but kept fighting anyway. Their actions most definitely saved the lives of numerous American diplomats and civilians who were able to escape to Tripoli because of Woods' and Dougherty's heroism. These men embodied the true American spirit, and it is a shame that the country they lived and died for refused to support them in the hour they needed it most.
Benghazi represents one of the most appalling and dishonorable events in recent American history, not only because of the shameless lies, but because Americans were left to die in the midst of a terrorist attack in order to help bolster the political careers of incompetent and heartless politicians.

There's now an old Palm logo on mynewpalm.com... whaaaaat? 14
What. Is. Happening?
Two weeks ago we found out that palm.com was redirecting to mynewpalm.com. It was weird to see activity on the old domain after so many years of silence, and now thanks to a heads-up from @LuneOSfans we've seen another update: the orange globe palm logo.
There was plenty of speculation about what was going on here, with nothing really concrete. The domain was registered by the same company that registered by the same company that managed the registration for gr.am. But what was going on with the Palm redirect? Perhaps somebody had purchased the Palm name and was setting it up for their new ocean-view condominiums or something.
But now if you visit, you get a Palm logo with the cycling text underneath of "Coming soon" and "Smart move" (set in the Copperplate font, so sorry about that). It's a repeating mp4 video (here's the file) and nothing more right now (there's nothing hiding in the source that we can see).
It's worth noting that this is the second-to-last Palm logo. They dropped the circular orange background and went with just the angular wordmark from inside well before the HP purchase. But maybe that old logo's being used for nostalgia's sake, to tug at our heartstrings.
Either way. What. The. Hell?
Just what is mynewpalm.com? 18
Well, this is all together something unexpected. If you point your browser to palm.com, which you might do for nostalgia's sake from time to time, no longer are you redirected to the HP webOS museum website. Instead it, along with every other palm.com address, now redirects to "mynewpalm.com". After years of languishing away under HP, something's happening here.
Digging in with the handy tools at domain name service Whois reveals that mynewpalm.com was registered by the blandly-named company "Corporate Service Corporation". On their website they advertise as being a "Digital Brand Services" company, specializing in digital brand protection. One may think that'd mean doing things like registering potential mis-typings of web domains (go ahead and type gooogle.com with three 'o's into your browser and see where that takes you). Okay, that's interesting.
But dig a little further and look at the most-recent website associated with HP and webOS: gr.am. And, yep, it turns out that the domain name of the short-lived/never-born Gram subsidiary was also registered by CSC. Huh.
So what's the plan with mynewpalm.com? Could HP be resurrecting the Palm brand? After all, the sale of webOS to LG was only of the OS assets and employees — HP kept the Palm branding. It's been a full three years since HP pulled the plug on webOS devices, but even then the Palm brand only held equity among its fans, and for a lot that equity was in nostalgia.
HP's current handheld strategy has been a disappointing line of oversized Android deviced destined solely for developing markets like India. Perhaps the Palm brand could see a revival, but we hope that if HP's planning on doing such a thing, they give the name the justice it deserves. We are, after all, talking about a brand that ushered in the PDA, smartphone, and seamless multitasking eras.
What do you think HP has in store with mynewpalm.com? It's gotta be something, right?
Thanks to Remy X, Preemptive, and lc_lol in the webOS Nation Forums!
HP is shutting down webOS cloud services — including backups, device set-up, and the App Catalog — on 15 January 2015 32
Well, it was bound to happen eventually, and now we know exactly the day when HP will flip the switch on the webOS cloud services servers: 15 January 2015. Just barely six years after the Palm Pre was introduced at CES 2009, HP plans to shut off their last remaining expenses related to their disastrously-managed webOS experiment. The date also falls just short of two years after HP sold off their webOS assets to LG. It's a sad, but not unexpected day. And when the 15th of January does come, all webOS cloud services will go offline.
What all does that entail? Here's what you won't be able to do on a webOS device come January 15th:
- Backups
- Restore
- New device set-up
- Password recovery
- App Catalog app downloads
- App Catalog app updates
- App Catalog app restores
- webOS system updates (you know, if you've for whatever reason not updated in the past three years...)
It's unsurprising to have this come to pass, and we're at least thankful that HP is being forthright and transparent about it. As they say in the FAQ:
Shutting down webOS cloud services is part of an orderly end of life program. HP announced the end of webOS devices (phones and tablets) over 3 years ago but the services were kept running to allow customers to continue to have a richer user experience. The user count has dwindled to the point where it is no longer viable to keep the services running.
It's a sad day, and it'll be a sad day yet when the 15th of January comes and those servers go dark.
But in the meantime, the webOS Nation App Gallery is still up and running. Yeah, we know, we're still here. Any developers interested in moving their apps over to the App Gallery are welcome to do so and can request access to submit apps here (select "Submit Homebrew App" as the category). We know it's not the same as the App Catalog and we don't have a system in place for payments, but what have you got to lose at this point?
For those of you that are wondering how you'll manage in a post-App Catalog world, check out our guide for installing Preware on your webOS device.

Jon Rubinstein: Validated, but Palm sale to HP was "a waste" 44
Given the chance to do things over again, former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein would not have sold the company to HP. When asked by FierceWireless about whether he would have done anything differently, Rubinstein said that he wouldn't "have sold the company to HP. That's for sure. Talk about a waste."
Quite. We're still rather bitter about the abrupt cancellation of webOS, so it's no surprise that the man who dedicated years of his career and his reputation to webOS would also be unhappy with how things turned out. But as we've seen time and time again, Palm was often a victim of circumstance and political carrier games.
The first step down the road to perdition for Palm was their launch partner: third place US carrier Sprint. Said Rubinstein: "We almost had deals with Verizon and with Vodafone, and in the last minute both of those guys decided not to go through with the deal, so we had a deal with Sprint," saying that it was "the best deal we could get at the time."
But all of that is in the past. What's Rubinstein up to these days? As we've previously reported, he's joined the boards of both Amazon and Qualcomm, which Rubinstein says are "uniquely positioned for the future of where things are going." He also spends some of his time helping out some 'small companies'. And, of course, taking time off and relaxing at his Mexican villa from where Ed Colligan lured him away years ago.
And as we've all noticed, a lot of what we love about and was pioneered by webOS has found its way into its former competitors, including yesterday's reveal of iOS 7. Rubinstein listed a number of features, including notifications on Mac OS X, multitasking cards (on, well… everything), Synergy contacts and messaging melding, over-the-air updates, and so much more.
Alas, if wishes were horses we at webOS Nation have a cavalry that would make General Washington proud. At the very least we can feel validated that our mobile operating system of choice was in fact years ahead of the curve, perhaps too far ahead.

HP to issue root certificate fix, ensure continued access to webOS cloud services 94
If you've been watching the webOS Nation Forums or the webOS community on Twitter, you may have seen the troubling reports that a vital "root certificate" on webOS devices is due to expire on July 23, 2013. This certificate is responsible for ensuring secure access to HP's webOS cloud services, including backup and the App Catalog, and once it expires, there's no accessing those services. It's a problem, a ticking time bomb, if you will.
We've been wondering if or when HP was going to fix the issue, and indeed had heard rumblings that a fix was in the works and due - wait for it - in the coming weeks. Today we got word from HP that the fix is indeed coming. In fact, it's due today, and it's coming in the form of an update to the the webOS App Catalog.
Updating one app to update a part of webOS isn't something new to HP. Back in 2011 they issued an update to the Maps app on webOS smartphones, that in addition to switching the mapping service from Google Maps to Bing Maps also installed Enyo framework support on the device. Granted, this isn't as much of a stealth update - the sole purpose of this update to the App Catalog is to install a new, later-expiring root certificate.
The App Catalog update is for webOS 2.1 and higher devices only. For those running older versions of webOS, you'll have to go into the App Catalog and manually download the HP App Catalog Update app.
Seeing as the update is to replace the certificate that expires on July 23, you'll need to do this before July 23. If you don't, it's still possible, but you're going to have to trick the system by setting your device clock back to before July 23, 2013 and then downloading the update.
Once you've updated with the new certificate things should continue to work for quite some time. In fact, we'd expect a shutdown from HP's webOS servers before the new certificates expire. So you should be prepared for that too.

So stay tuned. Next week, it begins. Point your browser to any of our four sister sites for posts each day for great conversation on the things in mobile that really matter. Hint: it's not specs.

And be sure to follow @TalkMobile on Twitter. And we've got a fancy press release if that's your thing.
Let's get the conversation started!

Phoenix ACL for TouchPad passes $35,000 Kickstarter goal with 10 days to spare 48
If you've been waiting to get Android apps running on your webOS-powered HP TouchPad (without having to actually install Android, that is), then you might just be one step closer to your desired future. Two weeks ago, webOS upstarts Phoenix International Communications partnered with OpenMobile to launch a Kickstarter campaign to finance the completion and release of the Android Compatibility Layer for TouchPad. The ACL's purpose is straightforward: to enable the running of Android apps on the TouchPad. The Kickstarter goal was $35,000 - not ambitious by Kickstarter standards.
Two weeks later, that $35,000 funding goal has been met and surpassed, with more than 575 contributors offering an average of $62.39 towards the project. 74 have pledged what amounts to a donation - less than $30 (though some pledge levels do promise swag like a Phoenix-branded LED keychain flashlight), while the rest pledged at least the $30 needed to secure a copy of the ACL on release. Sixteen others have pledged a backing of at least $90, securing access to the ACL one week earlier than lower pledges, 5 offered the $150 required for two weeks of early access, four are putting up $250 for the privilege of being a beta tester (paying to help sort bugs, really?).
Beyond that, a single donation of $500 secured a copy of ACL on a CD with a pack of swag, $600 for the swag pack and a new TouchPad with ACL, and one very dedicated soul pledged a whopping $7500 for a flight to New York, dinner with the Phoenix team, and a rare white 64GB TouchPad along with the requisite ACL and swag pack.
Now that the funding goal has been met, the pressure is really on for the Phoenix team. They've committed to an estimated delivery date of July 2013 for the ACL, and though the funding release for the Kickstarter campaign is still ten days away, we hope they're already hard at work on getting the ACL ready for release. Of course, Kickstarter in no way guarantees the success if any project financed on their platform, so it's going to be up to the webOS Nation community to hold Phoenix to their commitments. After all - it's your money.
Having met that funding goal, Phoenix has laid out their plans for the future of the ACL. Funding in excess of the $35,000 goal is intended to go to developing the ACL's next versions, including an update to replace the current Android 2.3 back-end with something based on Android 4.x instead and plans to release the ACL for the HP Pre3. We also hope they're planning on an Open webOS-compatible version of the ACL - as much as we love our old webOS hardware, the future lies with new hardware powered by the open source version of webOS, not in squeezing more life out of our beloved but aged webOS tablets and smartphones.

Jon Rubinstein returns: Former Palm CEO joins Qualcomm's board 23
When Jon Rubinstein came out of retirement from Apple to join Palm way back in 2007, little did he know the odyssey upon which he and Palm were about to embark. From launching the Palm Pre less than two years later, becoming Palm CEO, guiding Palm into HP's money-filled arms, launching the HP TouchPad tablet, and then watching as all the work he'd overseen got flushed down the toilet, Rubinstein's tenure at the lead of webOS was one of ups and downs, successes and utter chaos. So it was little surprise when, after watching webOS get a thin leash on life as an open source project, Rubinstein left HP in early 2012 for his second retirement.
Rubinstein returned to his Mexican beach villa and resumed the sipping of margaritas while browsing the web on his tiny HP Veer. While he left the door open to returning someday to tech, if anybody needed some time off after the webOS debacle, it was Jon Rubinstein. His schedule of siestas and cervezas is about to be interrupted, though we can't imagine it'll be on an all to frequent basis: Rubinstein was today elected to the board of directors of chip manufacturer Qualcomm.
While Rubinstein joined Palm's board as a very active and hands-on Executive Chairman with the goal of dragging Palm into the future of mobile computing, he's coming to San Diego-based Qualcomm while it's at the top of its game and firing on all cylinders. Rubinstein's addition to the board brings a new heft and decades of computing and mobile experience to the table. Besides webOS, Rubinstein is credited as being the man who made Apple's iPod possible from an engineering standpoint, and was a key player at Steve Jobs's NeXT.

Phoenix teams up with OpenMobile to Kickstart the ACL for TouchPad 85
Way back in 2012 we were introduced to OpenMobile, a company working to build what they called an "Application Compatibility Layer" for running Android apps on Open webOS. They've demonstrated it running in the webOS emulator, but what about on a real live functioning device? That's been elusive. And at CES 2013 we stopped by OpenMobile's booth, only to find no sign of the webOS ACL. Despite the dreams and wishes of many, we wrote off the ACL as not coming back. With webOS now open source and the property of LG and a release on mobile hardware that could run those Android apps looking less likely, why bother with the investment to finish the work?
But in 2013 we're looking a strange confluence of sites and services and people. The webOS movement hasn't died, and thanks groups like Phoenix International Communications there's even the possibility it could see a resurgence. And while they're working on building Open webOS for Android, they're not stopping there. Today Phoenix announced that they've paired up with OpenMobile to resurrect the ACL for the TouchPad.
In a four-minute video on Kickstarter (also after the break) they lay out the case for the ACL on TouchPad. In short: because they want to and they think you want to as well. Thus the Kickstarter campaign. In addition, the video shows off the ACL in action on a TouchPad. Essentially it allows the installation of Android apps as discrete apps on on webOS, including individual apps. There's certainly a bit of OS shock in that Android apps running under the ACL are in essence running a window of Android, complete with back/home/menu buttons at the bottom of the screen and the Android keyboard. The set-up actually is quite similar to what OpenMobile is doing for the Meego-based Sailfish OS, down to the Android 2.3 core to the ACL.
Phoenix has turned to Kickstarter to crowdsource the financing needed to finish the ACL for webOS. They're seeking $35,000 by 23 May 2013, with a touch over $1500 having already been pledged at publish time. As this is on Kickstarter, Phoenix won't get any of the money unless the $35,000 goal is reached by the deadline - if they can't reach it, they get none of the pledged funding. And, as this is Kickstarter, there are several levels of backer rewards, from a copy of the ACL for a $30 pledge to beta testing access for $250 to a trip to New York City for dinner with the leadership of Phoenix for a $5000 commitment (along with the ACL on a CD, a certificate of appreciation, two Phoenix t-shirts, and an LED flashlight keychain).
If Phoenix is able to reach that funding goal, they're anticipating having the OpenMobile ACL complete and available by July. Seeing how the ACL is running its current state on the TouchPad, that goal might not be too ambitious.

Isis Web doesn't bring new WebKit to the TouchPad, but it's still better 34
Way back in February of 2012 - that's over a year ago - HP released to open source the new Isis browser built on the latest WebKit standards. They called it Isis. This Isis browser in built in to Open webOS, and anybody familiar with webOS on the TouchPad would find the user interface instantly familiar. Because it's the same.
While there's an ongoing effort to bring parts of Open webOS, like the new WebKit engine, to older webOS devices like the TouchPad, it's still possible to get things like the updated browser interface. Yes, we just said it's the same, but it's also different. That's why webOS homebrewer Juno Avalon has been working on porting the Isis browser interface to the TouchPad. He's gotten far enough that he felt comfortable packaging it up as an app and distributing it via the WebOS Nation Homebrew Gallery - and so Isis Web for HP TouchPad was born.
While Isis Web shares a common user interface with the existing TouchPad browser and doesn't include the new WebKit, it does at least bring some new goodies to the game without compromising anything that we've known and loved about the old browser. When you tap-and-hold on a link or hit the share button in the address bar, there's a new share dialog that allows you to select from Email, Messaging, Sparrow (Twitter), and Facebook (the TouchPad app).
Isis Web also supports searching the text on a page, an option triggered from the app menu. You can download and save links with a tap-and-hold and when the browser is minimized into card view it stops scrolling.
In the notes for the app release, Avalon notes that this release is only for the TouchPad. While it technically is a complete Enyo app and loads correctly on the Pre 2 and Pre3, it is neither optimized nor functional once it is loaded. Avalon says he's working on a separate release for webOS smartphones.
So go ahead and fire up Preware on your TouchPad or hook and and run webOS Quick Install so you can give Isis Web a try. As an added bonus, Isis Web doesn't replace the default web browser, but it still shares the history and bookmarks database. So there's not a big commitment leap to be made if you want to give Isis Web a try - switch back and forth between it and Web at your leisure.
This is the WindsorNot - the webOS slate smartphone that never was 98
In the early months of 2011, after the HP Pre3, Veer, and TouchPad had been announced at HP's Think Beyond event in February, there were many debates raging inside the halls of the webOS campus in Sunnyvale. Decisions had to be made, projects were going to have to be cut or pushed onto the back burner. Those three devices weren't the only new webOS hardware coming from HP, it was just the first new webOS hardware that was to come from HP.
A smaller webOS tablet, the 7-inch TouchPad Go, was planned for release a few months after the 9.7-inch TouchPad. A Bluetooth audio-equipped Touchstone wireless charger was being tested. The next generation of TouchPads was under development, including models that were thinner, had better screens, and more powerful internals. There was even a model equipped with a full-size slide-out keyboard in the labs, though the likelihood of it ever seeing the light of day was questionable. But those were further away, projects planned for a time when webOS was flourishing in the marketplace.
It's still early 2011, and as enthusiastic as HP's leadership was formerly in the form of CEO Mark Hurd and still is in the form of Personal System Group (and former Palm CEO) Todd Bradley, the crew in Sunnyvale wasn't getting the financial and personnel support needed from HP HQ in Palo Alto to push everything out the door in the quality it needed to be in on the timeframe they wanted to hit. Hurd's replacement, former SAP chief executive Leo Apotheker and HP CFO Cathie Lesjak, aren't as enthusiastic about investing the billions of dollars needed to get webOS running at full steam.
With limited funding available to get the work done, tough decisions have to be made in the webOS Global Business Unit. Sitting after the all-but-done TouchPad Go but before the fancier next-generation TouchPads is a curious webOS smartphone. It shares much of its internals with the HP Pre3 and bears the hallmarks of the clean and simple webOS hardware design language, but it's an entirely different beast.
This is the WindsorNot, the webOS slate smartphone that never was.

At its facilities in Newport on the Isle of Wight, located a few miles off the South Coast of the U.K., Gurit (UK) Ltd. has developed a molding process for its trademarked SPRINT material system that is designed specifically to meet the needs of the customer who wants to cure carbon composite structural parts without the long cycle times and cost associated with the use of an autoclave. The SPRINT prepreg system reportedly cures in less than an hour under vacuum pressure.
Gurit recently set up a lean manufacturing facility to prove the concept's applicability in the real world by manufacturing five exterior body panels for the Aston Martin DBS sports car. The £2 million ($3.2 million) investment has created a 20,000 ft² (2,000m²) pilot facility capable of molding, machining, assembling and painting as many as 45 car sets per week. I was able recently to visit the pilot plant, observe production and assembly of the Aston Martin components and gather the following project data.
Gurit is currently using 35 direct workers on two shifts, with 20 indirect workers who perform accounting, quality-control and manufacturing engineering support functions for this team. The production facility is divided into nine manufacturing cells:
Following kitting and layup, the parts are cured in oil-heated nickel-shell tools (see Fig. 4) supplied by Weber Manufacturing Technologies Inc. (Midland, Ontario, Canada). Parts are layed up and cured under vacuum in one location, thus avoiding the need to move tools around the production shop. All parts are cured with an outside Class-A finish and an inside tooled finish suitable for bonding components, such as stiffeners, to the inside of the hood and boot trunk lid. The high quality of the inner surface is achieved by means of a glass fiber-reinforced caul plate. On parts with a one-piece caul plate, the plate has two functions. It ensures a good, tool surface-like finish, and it also acts as the vacuum medium, avoiding the cost and time required to use vacuum consumable materials, such as reusable silicone rubber bags. On the more complex parts that have multipiece caul plates, a silicone bag is used in addition to the caul plates to seal the entire layup (see Fig. 2, previous page, top right).
The inner and outer panels of the trunk lid and hood are bonded at room temperature, in complex fixtures, which determine the final shape of the very stiff panel assembly. (See Fig. 6). After this assembly step, all parts are inspected for dimension accuracy on a coordinate measurement machine (See Fig. 7) and then visually inspected for surface finish. Gurit says they have to be right the first time — no repairs are allowed on external surfaces.
The finished parts are primed, then placed in special containers and shipped directly to the Aston Martin assembly line. The parts undergo no further inspection until after they are fitted to the car
The Aston Martin parts project represents a significant milestone in efforts to adapt carbon composites for series production in the automotive environment. Its success in a necessarily unforgiving Class A parts program supports Gurit's ambition to expand its business into manufacture at higher volumes, based on the lessons learned from this very impressive pilot plant.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman would like to see Chipper Jones in pinstripes
On baseball's Opening Day, 19-year veteran Chipper Jones trots out to play third base in the classic Yankee pinstripe uniforms… Or at least that is what New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is day dreaming out. Chasman told the press on Monday he wants to lure Jones out of retirement to play for the storied franchise.
"Get it out there," Cashman told reporters because he doe not have a working phone number for Jones' agent, according to the Los Angeles Times. "I would sign him in a heartbeat. He can play third base, first base, DH. He would be perfect."
The Yankees are in need of help because their starting third baseman Alex Rodriguez is out after hip surgery until the All-Star break and first baseman Mark Teixeira will be out for two months with a strained tendon in his wrist.
Cashman's message was received by Jones and he took to twitter for his response.
Enough with the rumors! While I am flattered about the speculation of being enticed out of retirement, I'm happy with life as a bad golfer!
— Chipper Jones (@RealCJ10) March 11, 2013
The New York Times has connected the Yankees to 37-year-old first baseman Derek Lee as another replacement option.

Barack Obama, the US president, has said his administration will take a firmer stance with China on enforcing trade rules, ramping up the tone in a relationship that has shown signs of becoming increasingly strained.
His comments at a meeting on Wednesday with members of his Democratic party come amid tensions between the two countries over a recent arms sale to Taiwan an upcoming visit to the US by the Dalai Lama, and a row over alleged cyber attacks against internet search giant Google.
Speaking to Democrats Obama said that he supported trade agreements with China but urged Beijing to open its markets to more US goods.
"The approach that we are taking is to try to get much tougher about enforcement of existing rules," he said.
He added that what was needed was "putting constant pressure on China and other countries to open up their markets in reciprocal ways".
Obama also hinted that the strength of China's currency, the yuan, remains a divisive issue amid growing anger in the US Congress over the country's monetary policy. Many Western policymakers accuse China of keeping the yuan artificially low for the benefit of its manufacturing industry, funding a flow of cheap exports around the world and causing job losses in firms unable to compete.
US politicians from both major parties have accused Obama and George Bush, his predecessor, of being soft on China by refusing to declare it a currency manipulator.
However, analysts say that Obama's comments are predominantly aimed at appealing to a domestic audience rather than to seriously put pressure on Beijing.
The Chinese government has repeatedly stated that its exchange rate policy is an internal matter, and has warned the US against falling prey to protectionist sentiment.
Obama's message of a tougher stance with Beijing comes against a background of growing strains in Sino-US ties, particularly over Beijing's repeated warnings against the US president meeting the Dalai Lama.
That has infuriated Beijing with Chinese officials saying that that Hu Jintao, the Chinese president, urged Obama not to meet the exiled Tibetan leader during a summit in Beijing in November.
Ma Zhaoxu, a foreign ministry spokesman, told reporters on Wednesday that Hu had "explained China's stern position of resolutely opposing any government leaders and officials meeting the Dalai." "We urge the US to fully grasp the high sensitivity of the Tibetan issues, to prudently and appropriately deal with related matters, and avoid bringing further damage toChina-US relations."
Further fuelling Sino-US tensions is a recent announcement that the US has agreed to $6.4bn weapons package for Taiwan, the self-ruled island that China views as a renegade province.
Tensions over cyber security and control of the internet have also soured ties. Internet giant Google said last month that would no longer follow Chinese internet censorship laws and may pull out of the country altogether after it uncovered a "sophisticated" computer attack on the email accounts of human rights activists protesting against Chinese policies.
Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, called on China to investigate the alleged cyber attacks in a "transparent" manner and said countries restricting free access to information risked "walling themselves off from the progress of the next century".

Happy Friday Night In The Big Town,
Take a look at the Midnight, February 1st radar image:
SLICK & HAZARDOUS TONIGHT! Freezing rain, sleet, and snow will cause significant slick spots through Saturday morning!
Bands of freezing rain, sleet, and snow are now rapidly developing west of Kansas City. Freezing drizzle continues to fall, but is very light at nearly 10 PM. I believe our weather team figured out what caused the very slick conditions earlier. It was likely just partially the freezing drizzle that moved in during the mid-afternoon. It was most likely the earlier graupel/snow showers that fell that accumulated lightly on the roads, then melted, then refroze as the freezing drizzle began and combined with the low sun angle as the sun began to set. Just my thoughts, because that was a lot of slick spot development for such very light freezing drizzle.
Now, this next band of precipitation will likely be heavier with 4-6 inches of snow possible up north. After this system moves by we will quickly turn our attention to the next storm. This forecast 850 mb map is valid at 6 AM Tuesday. It shows a well defined 850 mb low that will likely help produce wide spread snowfall. But, there is also a 0°C line approaching:
This next storm is going to come more into focus on Saturday. I will go over the details tomorrow. Have a great night and please be careful.

Recently being named "Best New Track" by Pitchfork.com, Starred's debut single, No Good, is haunting, delicate, and worthy of the praise it has been receiving from fans and critics alike. Mastered by Patrick Brown, No Good highlights singer Liza Thorn's somber and expressive vocals and Matthew Koshak's equally stimulating and spacey guitar playing. To listen to the song Pitchfork said is, "capable of filling just about any space you put it in," check out the article here.

Two hundred years after the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the trafficking of African children continues unabated. This is one of the most horrific violations of a child's right. Trafficking can be defined as "the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of a child for the purpose of exploitation". Reasons for trafficking children include: sexual exploitation, forced labour and/or slavery, domestic servitude, forced marriages, illegal adoptions, and even forced organ removal or human sacrifice.
Nigeria acts as a source, transit and destination country for trafficking children to Europe, the Middle East and other countries throughout Africa. UNICEF has estimated that over 1.2 million children worldwide are trafficked each year. The highest rates of child trafficking in Nigeria are found in the Niger Delta region, according to research by NAPTIP, the Nigerian Anti-Trafficking Agency.
Children become vulnerable to being trafficked for a number of reasons, with the root causes being poverty and lack of opportunities, corruption and instability and/or armed conflict. Their parents may pay for them to be taken to another country, in the hope that they will gain employment and a better life abroad. Alternatively, children may be sold to traffickers by their parents, or kidnapped by such groups. Street children are particularly susceptible to becoming trafficking victims, as are children who suffer from other forms of discrimination. In the Niger Delta, children who have been stigmatised as 'witches' are extremely at risk as they are usually rejected by their families and communities, and often live on the streets with no-one to care for them.
As one of the few agencies working within Nigeria on this issue, Stepping Stones Nigeria is committed to doing everything in our power to develop a deeper understanding of this complex issue and support the key agencies on the ground in the Niger Delta who are working to prevent the trafficking of innocent children.
