You don't have to look much farther than Jamie Hacking to see just how sorry the state of AMA road racing has become. Instead of anxiously looking forward to trying to win a fourth AMA title, one of the series' biggest stars has spent the majority of his off-season decorating a nursery for the expected arrival of his and his wife Rachel's first child on March 25."I've been working on this baby room," Hacking said this morning from his home in North Carolina. "I've got nothing. It's pretty bad, pretty sad. For the 11 years that I've been in it, I've never seen it decline as much as it did."Hacking officially lost his ride with the Monster Kawasaki team when Kawasaki announced it was pulling the plug in mid-December, but it didn't catch him off-guard."We knew that was happening," Hacking said. "Obviously, we knew it before it was published. They told us that they weren't going to go racing. They kept us informed of what was going on at Kawasaki and this and that. They didn't see themselves doing anything, but they wanted to call and make sure that we didn't feel left out and that nothing was going on behind our backs. It wasn't a shock to us."Hacking saw the writing on the wall at the end of the season and started talks with different teams in the paddock, but nothing came of it."I talked to some people before the end of the season that were interested in doing some things for next year, but a lot of things have happened since then," he said. "People were waiting on sponsorship and with the series taking a big fall like it's done... people didn't know the TV was going to be there, people can't get big sponsors, then the tracks were thinning down. Everybody got scared away. I definitely talked to some people, but talking's different than signing papers. I think there are a lot of people out there who say they've got this and got that and I think it's all BS really. Until you see something in front of you to sign, nobody's got nothing."A baby on the way and no job on the horizon can bring a lot of stress, but Hacking has a handle on that."Me and Rachel told ourselves that obviously it's stressful and people don't have jobs," he said. "It's not just me, but there are a lot of good people out there - mechanics, everybody. People who deserve to have jobs, don't have jobs. We looked at ourselves and we have the added stress of the new baby coming, but what's the point of us stressing out? Why should we sit here and stress out when there's nothing we can do? I can look around at my house and see everything that I've gotten because of racing and I can't complain - that's for damn sure. If things came to an end today, I'd have to look at it fulfilling my time doing something else. But I won't have to go out on the street and start sweeping up people's trash."But this isn't the way Hacking wants his career to come to a close. You don't win three AMA titles (two in Supersport, one in Superstock), win Superbike races, work your way to being a factory star, and then have it just end like this."I don't want to leave this sport this way," Hacking said. "I want to leave the sport with some good memories and some old time racing that we all used to enjoy. Maybe a few more wins. I'm kind of winless here for the past few years and I'd like to go out winning and having a good time and then maybe announce my retirement and retire like a real racer should. Not get pushed to the side like this."There's always hope that a ride will come along, but it's slim pickings right now and Hacking knows it."You would think I would be at the top of the list, but if people don't have any money they think, 'We can't even approach him.' They have the respect of, 'Hey, this guy's a multi-time champion, we can't go to him with this. This will be an insult.' Then they go to somebody who they can afford, but they really don't want. I'm open to all options, anybody's offers, but I'm not going to go out there and ride for nothing. There are a lot of guys who will ride for nothing. Let's look at it... that's not going to pay the bills. We're here to put on a race and show the fans what we can do, but at the end of the day we all need to pay our bills and racing for free doesn't pay the bills. For me to put my life on the line and put on a good show for free... it's not worth it."Hacking feels fortunate that he came along when he did... racing in what now looks like the glory days of AMA Superbike racing."I would hate to be in these kids shoes right now, I really would," he said. "That's what I tried to tell some of these guys this year... guys were fighting everything I was trying to go against. I tried to tell these guys that these DMG rules were not going to work. You can't go racing like that. But I don't have to worry about it like they do. I can tell you right now that Ben Spies will be the last guy... I can't see anything for the next 10 years - anybody even remotely making the jump over there [to World Superbike/MotoGP]. There's no way. They can't. Nobody is looking here at 'em. It's bad."As for the immediate future, Hacking says, "I can get ready in no time, but I've just been enjoying myself really. I'll ride it on out and see what comes down the pipeline."And there's always prepping for the baby."We spent a lot of time decorating this nursery up and we've done a good job with it. I'm pretty proud of it actually."

Recently I downloaded a plugin that will scale an image very nicely so that say you want to take an image 300X300 to 300X500 it'll do that without the usual distorts and it keeps the image appearing relatively unchanged except sizes and darned if I can remember the name of it or where it's located..
I know this is an odd request and I'm probably not wording it to make sense, but I can't think of a better way of wording it.. I have the old woman (84) complaining endlessly to me about how restaurants add things she doesn't like and blah, blah, blah so it's interfering with my communications system in my head. :-/
Anyway does anyone know this filter/plugin and the name of it?
Thanks.... Now ya know why I'm going batty.. as if you needed that info.

So BMW won't be in Moto GP? So, what is Colin Edwards riding?
I know he's at the back, (about a week behind the others) & doesn't get much TV time, but it's still a BM.
Mind you, he's been on a lot of other bikes today at Mugello so watch this space.....

Dreadful outing shows all of Alfredo Aceves' faults
Dreadful outing shows all of Alfredo Aceves' faults
Great unknown

Here's the problem with Alfredo Aceves:
When he's good, he's pretty good. But when he's bad, the Red Sox end up offering free tickets to anyone who paid money to sit through the misery.
Yeah, yeah, the Sox ostensibly made last night's free ticket offer because of the weather, a nor'eastery mix of cold, wind, rain, wind, cold, wind and rain that forced an end to the 13-0 laugher after just seven innings.
But by the time Aceves was done with his work against the Oakland A's, the elements were the least of anyone's problems.

For the first time ever, I was able to sleep on the flight. Between climbing San Francisco hills and ingesting "No Jet-Lag" pills, neither of us got too stir-crazy. I did, however, keep leaving things behind and Martin (or other thoughtful travellers) picked up after me - my jacket, my glasses and various other things. I was not so lucky with my guidebook.

What's up with A Family Darkly?January 23rd, 2008
As my long-term readers are probably already aware, Carroll & Graf, an imprint of Avalon, was scheduled to release my memoir, A Family Darkly: Love, Loss, and the Final Passions of Philip K. Dick in May, 2006. Due to lawsuit threats from the Dick estate that never actually materialized, it has never been released. Avalon has since been acquired by Perseus, which eliminated the Carroll & Graf imprint.
There has been some misinformation about what happened to the book circulating on the Internet for the last couple of years, so allow me to clear a few of them up. Despite the estate's online claims to the contrary, it has never produced a list of text-specific changes that they would like to see made in the book. (In 2005, prior to the lawsuit threats being made, I made the few extremely minor changes that they did request; the threats to my publisher came after the estate's handlers knew I had made the requested revisions, but without their having asked me for any further alterations to the text.) The estate has not pursued legal action, nor, indeed, furnished any evidence to either me or my publisher that any aspect of the book was untrue. In fact, I had prior written permission from the estate to write what I liked in the book. However, while a $2 million threat was hanging over the book, the publisher felt it was not prudent go ahead with it.
To date, that is where the project stands: in limbo. (I have given a slightly fuller account of what happened subsequently in a February, 2008 interview on a prominent French Philip K. Dick fansite.) At this juncture, it is my understanding that the rights are once again available. Please contact my agency for further details.
The fact that Amazon still lists the book as having come out in 2006 has confused many people; apparently, the publisher has never corrected this information, despite my having requested it repeatedly. The author, surprisingly, is unable to alter the publisher's input on this subject.
Unfortunately, this misinformation has evidently led some readers to make fruitless attempts to track down remaining copies from a first print run that never actually existed. To prevent further frustration, allow me to say: my memoir was not released, so there are not now, nor have there ever been copies available for sale.
I am pursuing other publication possibilities, however, and shall post updates on those efforts here. Thank you for your interest — I assure you, the truth will someday be told to a wider audience.

Zulgad: Teammates confident that Jerome Simpson will make a difference
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Percy Harvin didn't attempt to temper expectations Sunday when asked about the return of fellow Minnesota Vikings receiver Jerome Simpson from his three-game NFL suspension.
"Let's party," Harvin said. "It's another weapon. We'll welcome him back. It's something for us to keep going, for us to keep going we need all our weapons."
On Monday, Christian Ponder was given an opportunity to calm the masses when the subject of Simpson's return was broached. The quarterback didn't take it.
"It's going to be big," Ponder said of Simpson's return. "Obviously, he's a good player and he's just going to add another dimension to this offense. We've obviously done well without him, but he will make us better when he gets back.
"We built a great connection all through preseason and he's been working out and everything. (He has been) staying in shape. I think he'll have a pretty early impact once he gets out there."
Perhaps Harvin and Ponder really expect Simpson's availability will make the Vikings' virtually nonexistent vertical passing game a viable threat beginning Sunday in Detroit. Or maybe, the two players are simply holding out hope that that will be the case.
The Vikings have surprised many with their 2-1 start -- a 24-13 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday was one of the biggest upsets in the NFL this young season -- but one area where they have had little impact is getting the ball downfield.
Of Ponder's 97 passes, only four have traveled father than 20 yards in the air. Ponder's longest pass play was a 29-yard completion.
So, is Simpson confident he will be able to accomplish what the likes of Michael Jenkins, Devin Aromashodu and Stephen Burton have not? If he is, he certainly wasn't willing to say it Monday.
And unlike Harvin and Ponder, Simpson jumped at the opportunity to manage expectations.
"We've just got to stay in the game plan and just win ballgames," he said. "It doesn't matter if we're throwing short passes or long passes. We've have just got to execute the game plan and just win ballgames."
Simpson will be happy simply to be back on a football field come Sunday afternoon.
By now, his troubles have been well documented.
Simpson pleaded guilty last March 1 to a felony charge that was the result of approximately 2 pounds of marijuana being shipped to his home in Northern Kentucky. He ended up spending 15 days in jail and also was sentenced to three years' probation.
But as Simpson was having issues off the field, he also was putting together a solid season on it. He caught a career-high 50 passes for 725 yards with four touchdowns in 16 games and 14 starts in his fourth season with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Simpson's longest catch of the season went for 84 yards and he had one of the NFL's most memorable plays of the year in Week 16 when he did a front flip over Arizona Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington to get into the end zone.
The Vikings took notice of Simpson's production and after meeting with him and clearing up concerns about his character, they signed him to a one-year, $2 million deal last April that included an initial roster bonus of $950,000.
The only thing was Simpson had to sit out the first three games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
"I couldn't wait until Monday morning came just because I was so excited," said Simpson, who caught three passes for 43 yards in the preseason with the Vikings. "I know that everything has passed (and) is behind me now. Hopefully this is the last time I've got to talk about the suspension."
After working out with the Vikings during the offseason and training camp, Simpson spent the past three Sundays in his house watching his new team play. It wasn't easy and Simpson admits he wasn't calm.
"I screamed the whole time, I was just like a fan," said Simpson, who also sat out the final two preseason games. "Maybe even worse than a real fan. It was just me and my French Bulldog. I was kind of there by myself most of the time because I was getting too riled up for him. But, yes, I was into the game the whole time and I hate the commercial breaks. Hate those."
Simpson, 26, won't have to worry about sitting through commercial breaks any longer. What he will have to concern himself with is getting back into game shape as quickly as possible.
NFL rules enabled Simpson to spend time at Winter Park during his suspension and he was eligible to sit in on all team meetings. The only thing Simpson could not do was practice with his teammates. That officially changed Monday and Simpson will take part in his first regular-season practice when the Vikings begin preparations for Detroit on Wednesday.
"I think I'm pretty good on the playbook and everything," Simpson said. "But it's still just hearing it called by Christian and going out there and doing it. But I think I'll be OK because I was able to hear the plays and see them run in practice on film (during meetings)."
Simpson realizes that not having had contact in a few weeks means he likely will be very sore by next Monday morning after taking a pounding in Detroit. "I've just got to get my body prepared for that," he said.
Coach Leslie Frazier knows that won't be simple.
"That's going to be a little bit of a challenge for him, the contact part of it, wearing the pads again, the speed of the game," Frazier said. "But the good thing is he's a veteran player who has been in the league for a while. But it's still different when you've been away from it now for the period of time that he has.
"So we'll just kind of have to see how he does in practice and that will probably determine how much we'll get him involved early in the game. But we've got to bring him along. We want to utilize his gifts and we definitely want to be able to take advantage of his talents."
While Simpson is known for his athleticism, Ponder said what impressed him the most was the football-intelligence the receiver possesses and his ability to get open. Harvin possesses the same skill set.
This could present issues for the Lions' 20th-ranked pass defense provided Simpson can work himself into the mix in timely fashion after only a few days back at practice.
"These guys have done an incredible job," he said. "I hope that when I come back (there are) no missteps and I don't put the offense behind anything. I just want to keep on rolling and just be that piece to the puzzle that helps this team connect even better."
Unlike when he was yelling at his television set at home, Simpson also knows he will have to maintain his calm when he's in uniform.
"I've got to keep my poise and everything," he said. "I'm pretty sure I'm going to be excited, but once I catch that first ball and that first play I'll be right back in the groove."

She was preceded in death by grandparents Leo and Ellen Wheelock; parents Jack and Betty Thompson; brothers Robert Leo Thompson and John L. Thompson; sisters Arleen Thompson and Louise (Thompson) Bradley; uncle Richard Wheelock; aunt Leola Swinney.
Lorrine is survived by sons Bill Donovan and wife of Lakeview, Steven Donovan and wife of Portland and Robert J. Thompson of Lakeview; daughter Becky Cowdrey of Lakeview; sister Lucille Denton of Lakeview; best friend Barb; Special nephew Adam; 14 Grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; numerous nieces, nephews and eight cousins.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, Aug. 7, 2011 at 2 p.m. at the Lakeview Eagle's Lodge, followed by a pot luck lunch. Interment will be in the Sunset Park Cemetery.
Donations in memory of Lorrine may be made to Desert Rose Funeral Chapel (to help defray the costs of the funeral), 1705 N. 4th St., Lakeview 97630, the Library Building Fund, 513 Center St., Lakeview 97630 or to a charity of the donor's choice.

How short is the Social Security Disability Medical Exam?
I've never been to a social security disability medical exam. But as a disability examiner, I may have sent thousands of individuals to these types of exams. Most were for physical assessments, some were for xrays, some were for pulmonary function tests, and many were for mental testing (either a full psychiatric exam, a mental status exam, or a psychological IQ exam).
Mental exams, by necessity, take a certain amount of time and, generally, there's no real way around this. Basically, the examining psychologist or psychiatrist can only ask questions but so fast and the disability applicant who is being questioned can only answer questions but so fast. However, a physical CE (C.E. stands for consultative examination) is different. And very often a physical examination will last only as long as ten minutes. I've probably gotten hundreds of calls from claimants who had been to one of these exams who were amazed that it had been so brief. And, usually, the question was: "How could the doctor learn anything about me in just ten minutes?". And, of course, the answer is that they can't, or at least it is very unlikely.
The purpose of going to one of these physical exams is so that the disability examiner who is working on the case can state that he or she has recent medical evidence, which is a requirement for closing a case. In most instances, this sort of exam and the report that follows from it serves no other purpose.

A family spent the night out of their home following a gas leak early Monday.
Lexington Firefighters think carbon monoxide started leaking from the furnace or hot water heater at the home on Lakeview Drive, off Liberty Road.
Firefighters say a carbon monoxide detector likely saved the four occupants' lives by waking them up.
None had to go to the hospital.

Sophomore linebacker Frank Shannon left last weekend's 38-30 win over Texas Tech with an injury and didn't return, but coach Bob Stoops said he expects Shannon to be OK for next Thursday's game at Baylor.
Oklahoma football: Frank Shannon, Jaz Reynolds expected back
"They initially thought when they took him to the hospital, right away they thought it was a spleen injury," Stoops said. "But that checked out OK. The last I'd heard was a deep tissue bruise."
Shannon leads Oklahoma with 53 tackles this season.
Senior receiver Jaz Reynolds missed the Texas Tech game after being injured during an "accident" last week at practice, Stoops said.
"Jaz should be back," Stoops said. "They told me he would be ready to practice this week. He had an accident just running, practice last week, that kind of held him out."
Reynolds has caught seven passes for 153 yards and a touchdown this season so far.
Stoops said junior Trey Franks has moved back to wide receiver permanently after spending the last year or so working with the defensive backs.
"We just feel Trey wasn't in a position to do as much defensively now, and some of those young players have come along that we feel there's more opportunity for him to contribute out there at the receiver position, and so hopefully we'll be able to get him more and more work," Stoops said.
Franks caught 51 passes for 459 yards and a touchdown over his first two seasons on campus, but was suspended for all of last season after violating unspecified team rules. During his suspension, he moved to safety and stayed there until last week.
After recent losses, players at Nebraska and Missouri have been the target of negative comments by fans on Twitter.

BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet borrows gestures, cards from webOS 74
Our pals at CrackBerry.com have posted up the full video demo of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet from the AdobeMAX conference and we couldn't help notice a few ...familiar... things. First up, the running apps minimize into, well, cards that you can move left and right on the screen. Yes, the card view contains a quick-launch bar on the bottom as well. How to you get to that view? ....swipe up from the bottom. Jump to 3:10 to see it.
We can't speak to whether we're in patent territory here, but it's not crazy to ask. If nothing else, HP needs to get the PalmPad out quickly, lest RIM take too much of their thunder away. Video after the break!

Looks like a nice device. Looks like not this xmas, but possibly next xmas will be the battle of the tablets once they all come down a bit in price.
They are demonstrating what awesome technology WebOS has. Pity they squandered a 2 year lead. But I still love the OS.
hopefully HP / Palm gets to market first, that would crush any desire to come out with the product.
In other news, it's been revealed that Microsoft is collecting $10-15 PER PHONE from HTC and other handset makers that use Android, as 'protection money' against patent lawsuits from Microsoft....
Too bad hp is too much of a 'nice guy'
what will it take for developers to port and to make more apps for webos besides improving hardware and release apis....
If it comes down to number of users, then webos might be in trouble. Blackberry os got great makeover, android maybe will get there with couple more updates. Will they be willing to change to webOS just because it multitask better? I hope so.
I'm staying with webOS Just because it is orignal and multitasKING os. The only thing I miss is quality productive apps, which I guess are not coming since developers look for profit and webOS don't have as many users as android.
WebOS does lack brand name Apps. HP/Palm needs to look at iTunes top 100 Apps under all Categories and pay all of those developers to port them over to WebOS. It is embarrassing how few Sports Apps are available considering the WebOS has been around for over a 1-1/2 years.
I sense A copyright lawsuit coming.......
Impressive....But I am still going to wait for a WebOS tablet....
I see that the cards is not as smooth as in webOS but drags a bit. the webOS tablet will BE a LOT better. I will wait for the Palm tablet to become available before buying anything else. webOS 4ever!!!
Yeah, I noticed that too. The animation is choppy and the response to the touch is pretty poor (The pinch to zoom response in that first app was killing me). Say what you will, but WebOS actually responds fairly nicely to swipes and gestures. PlayBook is currently laggy as molasses (though, honestly, I'm sure RIM is probably working on fixing that).
wonder how long it takes for HP to slap patent lawsuits.. It's one thing to mess with a small companies patents it's another when that small company becomes a part of the largest computer company in the world with money for Apples lawyers.. Lol
Wow HP. Your move.
This is just an imitation...furthermore,want to clarify here.In my opinion,it'll be a minor threat for HP.First, the blackberry OS 6 is still premature,compared to webOS( such as SDK and fragmentation), it is just a risk taking move by RIM to invest into tablet.Second,try to think another way, when everyone talking about the Playbook copy the card ideas from HP Palm,it has indirectly promoting webOS. Lastly, this miltitasking format on Playbook, I think it looks more similar to Coverflow by apple or Google's Chromium OS.
In contrast, HP can imitate their moves as well,since they still haven't show their last cards (in poker). In the history of HP,they have good record on touchscreen tablet,like the convertible series. In my opinion, it'll not be surprise to see Touchsmart(for media)+webOS(for major functions) combination in the new HP tablet....
The BlackBerry PlayBook is actually running QNX and not BB OS6. QNX is said to be very similar to webOS. Hopefully, HP will not rush a webOS tablet to market just to beat RIM to the punch. They need to make a great Tablet to gain market share and not a mediocre one.
If Palm had made the original Pre like the Pre Plus. They would still be an independent Company today...
"Legally", i can't say anything about patent infringement...so all I'll say is (as publically known) a big reason HP purchased palm was for their intellectual property...hint hint
Everybody wants to be webOS but there only 1 webOS.. And ppl are going to start realizing that next yr with the HP hardware blitz ;)
If I had to work every day with that dude in the purple shirt I would probably end up putting the beat down on him after the 3rd day.
a. noy. ing.
He reminded me of a bobble head doll, the way he kept shaking his head at every word.
WebOS wanna be...
Look at them acting like multitasking is something new. What other device can run multiple apps at the same time? hmmmm...
So are we feeling flattered or pissed.
I'm hoping HP is pissed. I know I would be.
It's nice to see Blackberry trying to ketch up and "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" but it's just that, cheap imitation. Much like how the Torch is in many ways a Pre knock-off. (not innovative) This is merely WebOs Multitasking at it's core, but not executed as nicely as WebOs does.
HP does need to get their tablet out quick. People need to SEE WebOs, so they can see how superior it is compared to other OS's. Sadly if they don't hurry many with think, WebOs is like the Playbook" not "The Playbook is like Webos." It's still a small portion of individuals have experience WebOs.
And HP needs to sue Blackberry just to scare them from stealing more things from Palm. Does Blackberry not have any of their own innovations?
This makes me mad and flattered and mad and flattered and mad and flattered, I'm so confused!
It's: "I don't know... I'm CONFUUUUUUUUUSED!"
Everyone is copying what Palm did 2 years ago. It is very sad. HP should do something.
Dang....that was hot. Especially with Adobe Air built into the OS. That was one (huge) thing that I've been hoping webos would do. It would increase the OS's possibilities tremendously!!! That said, I'm still a WebOs fan...die hard. But I have to say, I think other companies are starting to take advantage of HP's "downtime" with WebOs because they know its potential (hats off to Palm, truly revolutionary) aaannnd they know it can never be purely duplicated. However the closer they get, the softer the HPalm sting.
Don't forget that this whole "card view" thing is also a lot like Windows Flip 3D that was introduced with Vista, which was well before WebOS. And Microsoft probably got the idea from somewhere else too, so I'm guessing that someone else is pissed that Microsoft, HPalm, and RIM all stole their idea.
I will be getting an iden phone because of my job I smashed a few pres but the webos tablet I'll be waiting for it
Even if HP doesn't decide to sue over this, they need to at least come out and SAY they're thinking about a possible lawsuit. I agree with one of the posters above; if they let this slide, public perception will shift and they'll mock HP/Palm for being copycats.
I think they should sue. By the time HP/Palm's tablet comes out, they'll have a damn hard time convincing the public that their tablet is superior. By that time, the competing technology will be entrenched.
This worries me. I know that most above think that WebOS will triumph in the end, but I am not so sure. Problem is, no one cares who had "it" first. WebOS is not very well known, especially compared to Blackberry.
As more popular companies start to take the elements that make WebOS stand apart, it is less likely that those familiar with a brand will look to change OS, especially to a "new" relatively unknown OS. (Even if it was first and not "new".) I mean, the ONLY reason I changed from BB to Palm was because I wanted a touchscreen with a physical keyboard and didnt like android. I am SO glad I did, I LOVE WebOS now (MUCH more than BB). But if BB had a touchscreen (on Sprint)had Palm had not had something that stood out, I wouldnt have ever looked Palms way.
If I was HPalm, I would get on the ball NOW. Once even the hype of a Blackberry Tablet is out to the general public, it is unlikely that many from the general public would want to buy a random HP device that they have never heard of over a "sleek new blackberry" that already has tons of App support.
But who knows; this is just my opinion.
"i'm a new webos user. it's nice that hp/palm thought enough of the new blackberry playbook cards and gestures to use it on hp/palm phones."
not really a new user, but "see what i did there"?
This kind of stuff brings to light the fact that what most people around here think is a great webOS innovation is really just a user interface feature - one that is not really novel. Ever seen Cover Flow? Apple purchased it and introduced it into iTunes in 2006:
So, there is nothing really novel about the cards. There's no reason to get excited about seeing it on other devices.
It's becoming clear that HP/Palm must truly innovate like mad in order to differentiate themselves in light of these devices popping out all over the place. Things like Just Type and Exhibition. Their stated intention to expand WebOS into everything should no longer be thought of as a goal to make money, but a mandate for survival in the smartphone/tablet market, and to some extent in the enterprise market. It's clear HP must out-innovate Apple. Time is not their friend. "Hurry" is an understatement...
Great point. And at least with Stacks they have something to directly point to and say "hey, they're copying us and that's flattering, but we still do it better." They just need to keep that up and continue to innovate and improve on their ideas and differentiating features.
there is nothing novel about cards, but there are some things novel about how a "touch screen" devices handles the cards
Except that as a OS-level interface to indicate multiple applications running at once, it was novel when Palm intro'd it with WebOS. Of course it's not novel now with everyone and their mom aping it.
I searched for Coverflow patents. Nada.
Found this a few months ago during PalmCast.
It truly is a rip off and I can see people already thinking that blackberry came up with it. Hp does need to act. But the way they can act is by putting it out there that the new tablet they're coming out with was born and bred by the card multitasking innovated by the Palm Pre. Put the blatant infringement front and forward for the consumers to see and let the people see that blackberry was biting off Palm. Tech folks like us know this already but the general public may not. Plus, hp needs to show their substance over style and show how card multitasking is supposed to be.
That's the height of the news around here, bitching about other hardware that's actually being demonstrated and released? I suppose when your company releases their latest product in the last country they actually released the previous gen hardware in that makes sense.
webOS didn't use the card metaphor first, they just use it best.
"webOS didn't use the card metaphor first, they just use it best."
That's a good point. And I think that they will continue to do so. At least we know that they've already improved the tech in a novel way with 2.0 (Stacks). There's nothing to indicate that going forward they won't continue to refine their ideas in ways that the competition won't expect. I think that more than this "sue 'em HP!" approach, continuing to innovate the metaphor and make it more and more useful is the best way to combat those companies who wish to "flatter" Palm by appropriating their UI/UX design metaphors.
LAWSUIT!!! If it appears far too much like WebOS, then HP should sue. HP needs to get on the ball and demo their WebOS tablet soon or they will get left behind in the tablet category as well as Smartphones.
you can't file suit against someone for and invention because you did it first, you have to have a patent...however, the company that copied it cannot get a patent unless they improved the invention
I'm giving HP the benefit of the doubt, that said... if HP don't hint or teases the webos tablet soon, it would confirm that all they care about is selling printers and ink. mind share is slipping away (even more)
What HPalm needs to do is come up with a catchy name for cards & trademark the Name! Then anyone who uses it has to refer to it by name.. Like Kleenex, Xerox copy, etc.. And users will ask for that feature by name..
So get creative & post some names here like:
*Flying Toaster Cards (remember that screen saver?)
*My Palm Cards
*Just Cards.. & Just Type
*Cards R Us ( don't know how to reverse the R?)
This is what kills me about patents. How can you patent a "concept"? Let's assume that RIM did not steal any of the code to implement this so we don't have to deal with that.
More importantly how can you prove that a concept is infringing on a patent? You can't just say "well, it looks and operates kind of the same" does there have to be some bar level that has to be achieved to show infringement?
Thank God the first football team to throw a forward pass was not able to patent it and not allow other teams to use it too.
It is more than just a concept, a user must physically contact the device in order for the device to display multiple "cards," the actual code does not matter as you can perform the same functionality using different algorithms, as long as a physical device is performing some type of processing that results in an effect related to the physical device, it is eligible to be patented.
to mikey... ummmm... nice analogy? (insert confused smiley here)
I saw this video in an engadget article and was aghast at how blatantly they had ripped off WebOS. Swiping up from a gesture area to minimize to cards and pull up the shortcut bar? I mean honestly. That's the kind of thing that REALLY should be licensed.
Cover flow and Alt tab were around before webos cards. people don't get bent out of shape Palm didn't invent this idea.
Cover flow was used to show music and pictures and sometimes folders. Alt-tab (up until Vista for mainstreamers and XP Powertoys for tweakers) was just a row of icons. You're right that Palm didn't come up with the idea from the aether, but they did apply it in a novel way (fully interactive way to show the running applications on an operating system), and that is actually what invention is most of the time.
Well this is def absurd but even still Im not sure whos going to buy a blackberry tablet. I know I wont. Blackberry is not associated with "hip" technology. Pass.
Ah WebOS Faithful, are we really suprised? Everyone is always going to borrow a good idea. In this era its all about mindshare and visibility, you can harp on all you like about how its a webOS knockoff - and it is - hands down, but.... the point is, RIM is now SEEN as the first company to use card "true" multitasking...no matter what H/Palm bring out, everyone is going primarily think of the playbook, not the Palmpad.
I live in London and I'm a doctor, in the past year since the Pre came out, I've rotated through 3 different hospitals and not met anyone else using a Pre, everyone has an Iphone or an android handset...most people see the Pre and ask "what is that???"
I'm just pissed off H/Palm have once again dropped the ball on SELLING the key features and strengths of WebOS, they have ZERO visibility right now. Damage done.
You have hit the nail on the head. Palm dropped the ball and now that other companies have had ample time to emulate webOS features, there is no reason to switch to a webOS phone. Without enough users to justify the effort, there is no reason for developers to create apps for webOS. Palm had 18 months lead time to do something with their innovative OS to gain market share and they struck out. Even though webOS is still better at the moment, they have no mindshare and will never lure the app developers from Android or iPhone. However, Android and iPhone are more than capable of copying the best features of webOS. I'm afraid it is probably too late for Palm.
I hope, HP/Palm has the patents and will sue them into the ground...
that's a huge and nice screen to make a presentation. Thats how you make a great business impact on people
Hell with the tablets, if their smart Rim should put this Qnx OS on their blackberrys it will be a "killer" for them and i'm not talking about Iphone!
Ummmm I have a question??? Does anyone remember some of the things that Palm "borrowed" from Apple? Pinch to zoom? iTunes sync? I'm just sayin...
I've been waiting a long time to finially see the specs on the webos tablet & it's finally here. Sweet, hp is letting blackberry build it's webos tablet.
I didn't know hp was licensing webos out to rim...
maybe it won't be such a bad idea to license out webos.
Lol first the torch and now this. If HP doesnt do anything, i mean even rumors of a suit, im will lose all respect for them.
There is no reason why tablets shouldn't use Mac OS X's expose-style viewing for selecting applications/windows. Don't make me scroll through a list when I could just be tapping the window I want.
am glad that I don't have an iphone or android because that wouldn't make my phone special and fuck it if they have shit load of apps I can move around my apps with one swipe yay the pre best phone

This is great by the way, because when the PalmPad comes out there will be an argument of who did it first. And obviously non-webOS'ers will find out.
I downloaded the SDK to checkout the platform. It's complete garbage, just like every other platform RIM has produced.
WebOS is state of the art, and I am confident it will prevail with the release of modern hardware. But who knows, people still seem to be buying BB phones with that nasty software.

The Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) team at HP TippingPoint has published details on no less than five zero-day security vulnerabilities impacting Microsoft Office.
Back in August 2010, ZDI's Aaron Portnoy was announcing a change in the Disclosure Policy of the vulnerability research outfit.
Essentially, ZDI published limited advisories on the unpatched Office security flaws because the vulnerabilities have been reported to Microsoft more than six months ago and, the Redmond company has yet to provide updates designed to resolve the issues.
ZDI does not offer the full details related to the 0-day vulnerabilities, but only minimal information, as well as some workaround advice to help customers protect themselves against potential exploits.
All vulnerabilities disclosed at the start of this week could allow an attacker to execute code remotely on an affected machine, which would qualify the flaws for a maximum severity rating of Critical from the software giant.
The Redmond company recently published a video series enabling customers to get insight into the patch cooking process at Microsoft.
The software giant's approach to vulnerability management is extremely complex, and in this regard it could offer an explanation why some of the security updates to its products require a longer baking time than others.
Here is a list with the Office 0-day vulnerabilities from ZDI (it seems that Office 2010 is not affected and that the flaws impact older releases of the productivity suite, including Office 2007 and Office 2003):
- ZDI-CAN-811 - Microsoft Office Excel 2003 Invalid Object Type Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
- ZDI-CAN-829 - Microsoft Office Excel Office Art Object Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
- ZDI-CAN-904 - Microsoft Office Excel Axis Properties Record Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
- ZDI-CAN-798 - Microsoft Excel 2007 Office Drawing Layer Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
- ZDI-CAN-827 - Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 OfficeArt Atom Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.

Jad Fair live in Austin
I had somewhat forgotten about Jad Fair over the years. After watching Half Japanese: The Band That Would Be King years ago, and being rather touched by the story behind Jad and his bandmates, not to mention their music, I've been unable to find much by way of recent activity. Then I heard he was playing in my hometown, Austin. Jad Fair live: this should get interesting, and interesting turned out to be an understatement.

1978-01-28 Alexis Arguello w rsc 13 (15) Alfredo Escalera, Loubriel Stadium, Bayamon, Puerto Rico - WBC
1978-01-28 Alexis Arguello w rsc 13 (15) Alfredo Escalera, Loubriel Stadium, Bayamon, Puerto Rico - WBC. Referee: Arthur Mercante. A new WBC champion was crowned when Arguello (129½) battered Escalera (130) into submission at 2.34 of the 13th round after badly cutting him up with vicious punches from both hands. Having suffered a disputed knockdown in the second, Escalera regrouped before slugging it out with Arguello, which saw him cut over both eyes and suffering a split lip by the end of the fifth. Although missing a fair amount with his much-vaunted right, Arguello's left was rarely out of Escalera's face and the position looked hopeless for the champion. However, in the 11th and 12th rounds Escalera made a spirited comeback, even cutting Arguello below the left eye, but in the 13th it was apparent that the former was fighting on empty and when further damage was seen on the bottom lip the referee called it off on the 2.24 mark.

At the beginning there were static HTML pages. Then came the dynamically created pages, and flash animated pages. Today thousands of websites are based on some sort of a content management system (CMS). One of the main reasons why CMS is so popular is the ease of managing the website. The content as well as the look and feel of the site.
With a use of CMS, you can compartmentalize the different aspects of the website. One can change the content without knowing a single line of code. Another person can change the look of the site (commonly known as the front-end of the website) without having to worry about the features and the content being affected. Also, another can change the features and interactivity of the website with much ease.
Some of the most common Open Source CMS systems that are available today are WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal.
WordPress is one of the most user-friendly open source CMS platforms available. May users find this system powerful enough for their websites goals and tasks. With the help of thousands of plugins available, both free and paid, you can build websites with many common features. However for a more advanced systems WordPress is not a good solutions.
If your looking to develop a new website, blog site, a small brochure website for your business, or any other small scale website WordPress can be the ideal solution.
We offer WordPress design services. Contact us to learn more on whether wordpress is a good solutions for your needs. The consultation is completely FREE and no commitments necessary.
Joomla is a more advanced CMS system that can handle complex features. Also, it have a large extension library. For many of the medium scale projects, that requires to be managed by non-technical staff, Joomla is a very good solution. We have developed many Joomla websites with hundreds of features for our clients all over the world and they have found it very easy to use and manage.
Joomla can be somewhat confusing at the beginning and overwhelming. However, with a couple of hours of training on the system, one can find Joomla to be very easy to use. We provide Joomla and other CMS training. Click here or Contact us for more information.
Drupal on the other hand is the best system to develop sites that have extremely customized features. It can handle any kind of custom features and processes with ease. If your site requires such custom built features, Drupal could be your best friend. However, managing Drupal websites can be hard for a non-technical person, and requires some level of web programming understanding.
We are well known to plan and develop ideal solutions for website and CMS requirements. Contact us now to discuss your project. The consultation is FREE and there are no commitments.

The dollar traded lower against the emerging market and dollar-bloc currencies, though posted moderate gains against the euro following sub-forecast German production data.

On July 9, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed H.R. 4114, the "Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment [COLA] Act of 2012." The recorded vote for passage was 369-0. It now heads to the Senate for consideration and passage. If enacted, H.R. 4114 would increase the annual cost-of-living rate between 1.3 and 1.9 percent for veterans and would go into effect on Dec. 1.
The amount of the COLA is not currently known because it is based on the costs of goods and services determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index; the calculation will not be finalized until October.
Press conference for revised Stolen Valor Act
The "Stolen Valor Act of 2005" (Public Law 109-437) made it a crime to lie about military service and awards, but the law recently was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. In response, the bipartisan "Stolen Valor Act of 2011" was introduced by Rep. Joe Heck, R-Nev., as H.R. 1775, and Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., introduced a companion bill, S. 1728.
These bills make a key change to the Stolen Valor Act of 2005 by punishing individuals who misrepresent their military service in order to profit. Based on the Supreme Court's ruling, the legislation should be constitutional because it focuses on those who seek to benefit from their misrepresentations.
On July 10, Heck and Brown conducted a press conference – attended by American Legion Legislative Division staff – to call on Congress to pass the Stolen Valor Act of 2011. "The Supreme Court laid down a marker in its recent decision on Stolen Valor, but it also left the door open to valid congressional action," said Heck, a colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves. "I believe that we must defend the valor of those who have served our country but also that we must protect the very liberties for which our service men and women sacrificed. The Stolen Valor Act of 2011 would achieve both objectives, and Congress should move quickly to pass this legislation."
"The recent Supreme Court ruling should give Congress a sense of urgency to protect the valor of the deserving few," said Brown, a lieutenant colonel in the Army National Guard. "It is wrong and cowardly for people to make fraudulent statements in order to receive distinctions that they have not earned. We need to ensure that no one can benefit from making false claims and steal the true valor of the courageous service men and women who selflessly defend our freedom." Heck's bill has 67 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, while Brown's measure is co-sponsored by Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Dean Heller, R-Nev.
Members of The American Legion family are asked to contact their House and Senate members and urge them to become co-sponsors of their chamber's respective bills. If they are already co-sponsors, be sure to thank them.
VA panel marks up legislation for full House action
On July 11, American Legion Legislative Division staff attended the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs markup hearing in which three bills were advanced to the full House for consideration. All three bills – H.R. 4057, the "Improving Transparency of Education Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2012" as amended; H.R. 5747, the "Military Family Home Protection Act" as amended; and H.R. 5948, the "Veterans Fiduciary Reform Act of 2012" as amended – unanimously passed the full committee and were recommended to the floor. Included in these three pieces of legislation were 17 different legislative proposals.
H.R. 5948 seeks to prevent financially incompetent veterans from being cheated by fiduciaries appointed to help manage their money by:
Amendments include a ban on the burial of sex offenders at Arlington National Cemetery, a requirement for the allowance of freedom of conscience in VA cemeteries, a requirement for disclosure of VA data breeches, an increase in VA employee accountability requirements, authorization of a cap on VA bonus payments and a resolution honoring the Patriot Guard Riders.
H.R. 5747 would accomplish several things. It would:
Additional amendments include further improvements to refinancing rights for deployed servicemembers and increased USERRA/FMLA protections.
H.R. 4057 would direct the VA secretary to develop a comprehensive policy to improve outreach and transparency to veterans and members of the armed forces through the provision of information on institutions of higher learning. In developing the policy, it would require the secretary to conduct a market survey to determine the availability of a commercially available, off-the-shelf online tools that would allow veterans to determine whether they are academically ready to engage in postsecondary education and training opportunities, and provide a list of providers of such opportunities.
Amendments include a licensing/credentialing proposal for OIF/OEF veterans, a proposal which would require that housing provided to homeless veterans meet minimum levels of safety, and a proposal which would require a "burn pit registry" for returning veterans who have had exposure to toxic burn pits while deployed.
Certification/licensure bill signed into law
On July 23, President Obama signed into law P.L. 112-147, the "Veterans Skills to Jobs Act," legislation to benefit veteran jobseekers. The House of Representatives voted on the bill on July 9, approving it by a recorded vote of 369-0. The Senate unanimously approved the measure two days later.
This law directs the head of each federal department and agency to treat relevant military training as sufficient to satisfy training or certification requirements for federal licenses.
During the bill's consideration on the House floor, H.R. 4155's sponsor – Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif. – stated, "If you've had the best training in the world, you ought to be able to get the best jobs in the world, and this body ought to make sure that certification, that licensure is a seamless process. If you leave active duty today, you ought to have work tomorrow in the private sector utilizing that very same training."

Ok, I am in the process of buying my cart and harnesses for my miniature horse. I got her last summer, and she's my first miniature. I want to use her in parades eventually. But I'll be driving her through a little community. There is no where else flat for her to drive, and even going this way I will have to get out a few times. But I am concerned about dogs. There are large dogs (shepards, rotts, huskies, etc) that run loose. It's just the way it is around her. It's rural WV. I'm used to it on my big horse! I'm not scared of that. But she is such a little thing, I am scared they may attack her.
Do any of you carry pepper spray or anything in particular that may deter a too curious pooch? I don't want to hurt a dog, unless they r trying to hurt my baby, but I'd like something to keep them detered.
