Bitcoin is a payment system introduced as open-source software in 2009 by developer Satoshi Nakamoto. The payments in the system are recorded in a public ledger using its own unit of account, which is also called bitcoin. Payments work peer-to-peer without a central repository or single administrator, which has led the US Treasury to call bitcoin a decentralized virtual currency. Although its status as a currency is disputed, media reports often refer to bitcoin as a cryptocurrency or digital currency.
Bitcoins are created as a reward for payment processing work in which users offer their computing power to verify and record payments into the public ledger. Called mining, individuals or companies engage in this activity in exchange for transaction fees and newly created bitcoins. Besides mining, bitcoins can be obtained in exchange for fiat money, products, and services. Users can send and receive bitcoins electronically for an optional transaction fee using wallet software on a personal computer, mobile device, or a web application.
Bitcoin as a form of payment for products and services has seen growth,and merchants have an incentive to accept the digital currency because fees are lower than the 2-3% typically imposed by credit card processors. The European Banking Authority has warned that bitcoin lacks consumer protections. Unlike credit cards, any fees are paid by the purchaser not the vendor. Bitcoins can be stolen and chargebacks are impossible. Commercial use of bitcoin is currently small compared to its use by speculators, which has fueled price volatility.
Bitcoin has been a subject of scrutiny amid concerns that it can be used for illegal activities. In October 2013 the US FBI shut down the Silk Road online black market and seized 144,000 bitcoins worth US$28.5 million at the time. The US is considered bitcoin-friendly compared to other governments. In China, buying bitcoins with yuan is subject to restrictions, and bitcoin exchanges are not allowed to hold bank accounts.

This past summer, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Aereo's system for digitizing over-the-air broadcasts infringed the rights of copyright holders even though Aereo had carefully designed its system around previous court rulings. How does copyright work in an era where most copyrighted material is ethereal and why did the Supreme Court come to this conclusion? I will review the history of copyright in the United States and discuss how Congress and the courts have dealt with the shift from paper and physical media to electronic bits and bytes over the past decade. We will then examine the Aero ruling to see how the Court applied previous rulings to this new technology to deal a death blow to Aereo.

ARMing For War: ARM Announces New Cortex-A15
The A15 is based on the same ARM v7-A Cortex architecture as the A9, but adds support for LPAE (Long Physical Address Extensions) and is designed to maintain cache coherency between processors on a die and potentially between chips in a cluster. A15 also supports hardware virtualization and may include an FPU—the A9 has an optional FPU that the A15 may automatically incorporate.
"The launch of the Cortex-A15 MPCore processor marks the beginning of an entirely new era for the ARM Partnership. It brings together more than 20 years of ARM expertise in low-power design with a host of new and very aggressive high-performance technologies," said Mike Inglis, EVP and GM, processor division, ARM. "The Cortex-A15 MPCore processor will become the next major step along the industry's energy efficient computing roadmap and open up a wide range of new application possibilities for our Partners."
The A15 in a four-way implementation
The debut of the Cortex-A15 MPCore processor enhances the ARM Cortex-A Series of processors by providing the electronics industry with the broadest range of software and feature-set compatible processors. The Cortex-A15 extends the capabilities of the ARM Cortex-A Series by adding efficient hardware support for OS virtualization, soft-error recovery, larger memory addressability and system coherency. While remaining true to ARM's power-efficient design heritage, the Cortex-A15 MPCore processor brings a new level of performance scalability as well as a feature set that enables ARM Partners to address a range of innovative and traditional markets with a single processor architecture."
ARM envisions the A15 scaling across the entire spectrum of mobile devices, from single-core and dual-core A15's in smartphones to octal-core A15's as part of wireless infrastructure, home entertainment devices, and ultra power-efficient servers (shh). Not only can ARM15 support more cores than the A9, ARM claims to have tightened interaction between the CPU, GPU, and security modules, and reduced the number of transactions that move off-die.
It'll be 2012 before we see the A15 in devices, but this is the clearest evidence yet that ARM and Intel are on a collision course. When Moorestown debuts in 2011, it'll be going up against devices built around current ARM processors, some of which will be built on GlobalFoundries 28nm process as opposed to TSMC's 40nm technology. That matchup is already guaranteed to stir the pot in some interesting ways—if the A9 performs well against Atom in 2011, the promise of A15 will undoubtedly help ARM convince its licensees that it's capable of countering Intel's assault on the smartphone/MID/UMPC market.

Interestingly, I have not seen this discussed before. Does anyone have any input on this? The v3 has a good reputation around here, and I would be interested in hearing from anyone with a frame of reference. It seems that people dig hybrids in general but does anyone know about the difference on Sq and signature?

|[dev] Performance of exporting through open office
|Mon, 15 Jul 2013 09:54:47 GMT
Hello, i'm looking for options of exporting fairly large XLS,XLSX documents through openoffice. The basic requirement i currently have is to export 300_000*30 cell documents. We need colouring and formulas for documents too (at least smaller ones). We've been using external libraries for it, but because of performance and feature-set i've been thinking about going 'native' with OO. I'm completely green in OO project, however i tried example java project with UNO which was horribly slow. My guess is - most of performance and memory is used for rendering and other ui-things. Finally, my question to you is: * what API should i look on, to format my sheets through openoffice libraries (XLS,XLSX,CSV) - ideally i'd like to access document model instead of statelessly format file (if it's realistic to don't eat-up more than 5Gig memory) * do you think, that using OO components in my situation is a right thing to do? or maybe should i look for external libraries? Or maybe native / good implentation wont help too much, and i should use simple implementation for big documents vs. feature-rich implementation for small documents? Thanks in advance, Mariusz Gliwiński --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Dell Survey Suggests CEOs Believe Cloud Computing Is A Fad
Subject: General Tech | June 12, 2011 - 02:36 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: networking, dell, cloud computing
A recent survey conducted during the first two days of the Cloud Expo by Marketing Solutions and sponsored by Dell suggests that IT professionals believe that their less technical CEOs believe cloud computing to be a "fad" that will soon pass. On the other hand, IT departments see the opportunities and potential of the technology. This gap between the two professions, according to Dell, lies in "the tendency of some enthusiasts to overhype the cloud and its capacity for radical change." Especially with a complex and still evolving technology like cloud computing, CEOs are less likely to see the potential benefits and moreso the obstacles and cost to adopt the methods.
The study surveyed 223 respondents from various industries (excluding technology providers), and found that the attitudes of IT professionals and what they felt their respective CEOs' attitudes were regarding "the cloud" were rather different. The pie graphs in figure 1 below illustrate the gap between the two professions mentioned earlier. Where 47% of those in IT see cloud computing as a natural evolution of the trend towards remote networks and virtualization, only 26% of IT believed that CEOs agreed. Also, while 37% of IT professions stated that cloud computing is a new way to think about their function in IT, "37 percent deemed their business leaders mostly likely to describe the cloud as having "immense potential," contrasted with only 22 percent of the IT pros who said that was their own top descriptor."
Further, the survey examined what both IT professionals and CEOs believed to be obstacles in the way of adopting cloud computing. On the IT professionals' front, 57% believed data security to be the biggest issue, 32% stated industry compliance and governance as the largest obstacle, and 27% thought disaster recovery options to be the most important barrier, contrasted with 51%, 30%, and 22% of CEOs. This comparison can be seen in figure 2 below.
While the survey has handily indicated that enterprises' IT departments are the most comfortable with the idea of adopting cloud computing, other areas of the business could greatly benefit from the technology but are much more opposed to the technology. As seen in figure 3, 66% of IT departments are willing to advocate for cloud computing, only 13% of Research and Development, 13% of Strategy and Business Development, and a mere 5% of Supply Chain Management departments feel that they would move to cloud computing and benefit from the technology.
Dell stated that IT may be able to help in many more functions and departments by advocating for and implementing cloud computing strategies in information-gathering and data-analyzation departments. In doing so, IT could likely benefit the entire company and further educate their CEOs in cloud computing's usefulness to close the gap between the IT professionals' and CEO's beliefs.

Windows 8 UI: Wait, Windows 7?
Subject: General Tech | June 12, 2011 - 08:08 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 8, ImmersiveUI
Microsoft announced and demonstrated their Windows 8 interface a couple of weeks ago and since then there has been some love and some hate for it by various groups. The idea that the new paradigm for icons would display information from the program, particularly in such a fashion, better suits a tablet rather than a traditional desktop interface. Regardless, there would likely be some application for such an interface and you do not need Windows 8 to unofficially have it.
"Start": must be Windows.
ImmersiveUI developer Sergio James Bruccoleri has released a video to show his pre-beta interface for Windows 7. In his demonstration he showed various websites and programs launched with a little bit of feedback in the tiles such as his Facebook name and Xbox Live gamertag with avatar. Bruccoleri has stated that a public beta is forthcoming with "effects and some cool stuffs."
Would you find yourself adding this to your Windows desktop? If so, on what device?
Is The Wintel Era Coming To an End?
Subject: General Tech | June 12, 2011 - 03:21 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: wintel, microsoft, Intel, asustek
DigitTimes reports that the so called "Wintel" era is over. With Wintel representing the fusing of a Windows operating system on Intel x86 processors, Asustek Jonney Shih believes that the time period where Windows and Intel processors dominated the PC, tablet PC, and handset markets have passed. This is due in part to the rise of Android and ARM on the mobile front and increased mind share (and in some cases competitive market share) of the Mac OSX and iOS ecosystems on the PC and mobile platforms respectively. Shih further stated that the rising market share of once-smaller operating systems from competitors encourages healthy competition and innovation in the industry.
As mobile hardware advances to once-unprecedented levels of performance, Asustek sees the lines between what constitutes mobile handsets, ultra-portable computing devices and traditional computers breaking down. All these devices will soon start to coalesce into a new IT market where computing is more about productivity and entertainment more so than choosing differing classes of hardware as they will all be "good enough" machines.
DigiTimes states that the rise of the tablet PC will likely increase manufacturers abilities to try new things and sell numerous units; however, it will also impact and "significantly reshuffle the ranking of the whole IT market."
With Microsoft currently commanding approximately 88.69% of the client OS market share (according to Net Market Share at time of writing), and Intel being the leading manufacturer of x86 CPUs, the "Wintel" relationship still has a good deal of weight to throw around and influence the market; however, on the mobile front the market is much more competitive with other operating systems and hardware advancing rapidly. Will the mobile market have an effect on traditional computing, and do you feel as though the Wintel era is coming to an end?
RAGE on, PC: PCGamer interviews John Carmack
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | June 11, 2011 - 06:28 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: john carmack, id, E3
John Carmack was and is one of the biggest faces in videogame engine development since Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Quake. He was at E3 to promote his company, iD Software's, RAGE: their nearest upcoming release. While he was there, PCGamer managed to corner him for a 22 minute interview ranging from RAGE; to the current and future state of PC gaming; to the perceptive effect of input latency and how framerate affects it.
Look at how stable the framerate is!
- Texture resolution and memory limitations on consoles
- Higher end PCs being approximately 10-fold higher performance than the consoles
- Sandy Bridge is finally barely good enough for integrated graphics to be viable GPUs for games
- DirectX and OpenGL APIs hold the PC back, looking forward to new movements to access GPU better
- His interest focuses on the toolset to let the artists do more with less effort
- PC Gaming is still viable but a minority
- Input latency is longer than people expect, sometimes up to 100ms and beyond
- The exciting yet not necessarily crucial nature of newer rendering technologies
John Carmack always has interesting interviews from his very down to Earth and blunt tone. If you have a free half hour and want to hear one of the best game programmers in the world talk about his trade, this is definitely an interview for you.
Is the InFocus 55" a wall tablet? Do you want it anyway?
Subject: General Tech, Displays, Systems | June 11, 2011 - 07:31 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: wall tablet, InFocus
InFocus is branding their 55-inch touch-screen TV with Windows 7 embedded as a "Wall Tablet". The writers down at HotHardware seem to take offense to a 55-inch device being called a tablet and I must agree. My duration working in high schools and acquiring an education degree grew me well acquainted with SMART boards and this product definitely recalls those memories much more vividly than my experience playing around with tablet devices.
The problem with touch screens in schools is that every screen is treated like one thereafter.
(Video from BusinessWire)
It is quite obvious that InFocus spent quite a large amount of time developing their user interface to dress up Windows 7 as a more whiteboard friendly operating system. Their interface has a custom file browser with annotation capabilities, a custom web browser, a digital whiteboard application, and a video conferencing solution that can interface with open protocols such as Google Talk and more proprietary ones such as Cisco. The unit itself has a 720p video camera and a screen resolution of 1920x1080 with multiple touch recognition, something that most (but not all) SMART boards are incapable of.
It is highly unlikely that you will have one of these $6000 devices in your house unless you happen to require it for professional reasons. For those in the education, training, research, or corporate management fields: a device like this could make your life much easier particularly if you were already considering installing a mass of SMART boards for this purpose. They are expected to ship to interested customers in July.

With all the news from E3 it seems topical to check out the Fragging Frogs and the Gaming Forum, as there is a lot of buzz there right now. You can share your thoughts on a game who's release was once predicted to herald the end of the universe and the latest incarnation of a game that ranks among the favourite of the Frogs, Battlefield 3. (Not that it should be 3, not even counting Bad Company or addons there are more than three Battlefield titles.) That release is a perfect reason for you to play with fellow forum members on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 8PM EDT, where you can get in a real flame war with them! Not everything is good news however, if you own a Codemasters game you should know they've joined PSN in the 'Recently Hacked Club'.
In the General Forum is a fellow looking for a PC to go to college with, so don't recommend a mobile GTX560. The Motherboard Forum is hopping as well; not only because of the new Intel Z68 board but also because of AMD's new 990 chipset ... though there isn't much action in the CPU Forum as AMD released the new chipset and socket but we are still awaiting the arrival of the Bulldozers. The Cases & Cooling Forum members are quite excited by the new self contained water cooling systems Corsair announced at Computex and the Storage Forum is up in arms about the problems with OCZ's Force 3 SSDs, though you nust admit that OCZ has done a stellar job of letting people know what happened and providing a fix.
The people in this Forum may seem a little 'off", but once you get to know them they are a friendly and funny bunch, while all the serious people looking for a debate are hanging out at The Lightning Round. On the other hand, if your fingers are tired out after a long week, why not grab a pint and sit back and watch the newly bottled PC Perspective Podcast, this week we take it to #158!
RAGE delayed a month, lives up to name
Subject: General Tech | June 10, 2011 - 08:55 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: rage, id, delayed
RAGE, which was originally expected to launch September 13th on the PC, 360, and PS3, is now expected to be available on October 4th according to their official website. Neither Bethesda nor iD Software published a press release yet to confirm the release date push yet being on the game's official website there seems to be little doubt that RAGE will end up being an October release.
(Image from iD Software)
Without a press release there is still only speculation about the cause of the delay. Tom's Hardware speculates that the planned release of Gears of War 3 a week after the original date for RAGE pushed up the release date into October to avoid Epic Games' behemoth release. It is also possible that the one month delay was completely development driven. iD was long known for the old-school PC game development "done when it is done" mentality and they have no problems delaying a release to get it to the state that they desire it to be at.
Are you looking forward to RAGE? Discuss in the comments.
In Win Commander II, 1200W of victory?
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling | June 10, 2011 - 06:41 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: in win, 1200w
When you have a beastly computer you need a decent power supply to keep up with it. While I personally seem to be comfortable with a single-rail 750W power supply some people might need more wattage than that. Anandtech recently reviewed the In Win 1200W power supply with its "Japanese Industrial Grade Capacitor" which should be plural and "Strict Voltage Regulation (+/- 5%)" which is only as strict as the ATX spec.
It's designed to blend in with your case.
(Image from Anandtech)
Anandtech had a few complaints about the power supply. Firstly, they complained that the provided cable is only able to carry 10A which is insufficient if you actually intend to draw its rated levels of amperage. They also complained about the price being too high though acknowledge that the price might drop to around the $200 mark though even then it would be up against comparable competition. Check out Anandtech for their review.
When the world's largest motherboard maker says your time is come, you'd best pay attention
Subject: General Tech | June 10, 2011 - 03:43 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: wintel, ubiquitous computing, asus
ASUS is currently the largest motherboard manuacturer on the planet, almost single handedly started the netbook craze and is now working on moving up in the rankings of those companies making tablets and full sized notebooks. So when the chairman of Asustek states that the Wintel era is over, both Microsoft and Intel had better pay attention. Some of us remember the good old days when Cyrix and AMD first started making inroads on Intel's market share and it seemed that the CPU market was going to open wide up. That might not have happened in the way some hoped but we are now seeing a second renaissance, the market is expanding not just beyond Intel and AMD but beyond the chip architecture that has been dominant for so long.
They might not be making motherboards for ARM processors in the near future but from what DigiTimes discovered they are likely to start selling products that have non x86 based products in the very near future.
"The so-called Wintel era is over with no CPU or OS vendors to be able to dominate the PC, tablet PC or handset markets as they did before, according to Asustek chairman Jonney Shih. The breakup of the Wintel alliance offers a brand new opportunity for system vendors to thrive again in the IT market, Shih said.
Shih pointed out that system vendors, which have innovations in design, capabilities in technology R&D, and are closer to the market, will be able to achieve success in the new IT era. Asustek is currently learning from vendors such as Apple and Sony, and is aiming to own a market position within the new IT era, in which the boundaries between the notebook, tablet PC and handset markets are already turning blurry.
Although the rise of tablet PCs is expected to provide system vendors opportunities, it may also significantly reshuffle the ranking of the whole IT market.
Commenting on Acer's recent downward performance, Shih pointed out that Asustek already improved its inventory management system after experiencing the financial crisis in the fourth quarter of 2008, and its retail channel partners all have healthy inventory levels. Asustek is currently checking its downstream partners' inventory levels every Thursday to ensure their supply management.
For the future, company president and CEO Jerry Shen estimates that the company's third quarter performance will be stronger than the second with the IT market in 2011 to return to its usual pattern of having stronger sales in the second half than the first."

Webian OS: Like Chromebook, just Chromeless
Subject: General Tech | June 10, 2011 - 08:09 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: webian, mozilla, chromeless
Google Chromebooks have been talked about quite a bit lately particularly with the announcement of Samsung and Acer varieties nearing retail. You may believe that Google will be your only option as Microsoft and Apple are ignoring the stripped down OS market but you would be wrong. Webian OS has recently been released in preview form and combines Mozilla's Chromeless project-based Webian Shell with openSUSE to make a self-contained OS similar to Google ChromeOS
Tired of what Simon says?
Webian Shell has a very minimalist interface with a tab-focused taskbar, the closest analog to application switching in a web-based operating system. Beyond the tab taskbar there is just a location bar which doubles as a progress bar; combined stop, go, and reload button; a clock; and the site itself. The project is not near completion yet as the developers anticipates to add home screen, widgets, onscreen keyboards, and other features as need arises. Have ideas or wish to contribute?

This is a guide to ASHA documents and references to consider when conducting comprehensive speech-language assessments. Speech-language assessment is a complex process. Assessing, describing, and interpreting an individual's communication ability requires the integration of a variety of information gathered in the evaluation process. ASHA's
Preferred Practice Patterns for the Professions of Speech-Language Pathology
(2004) indicates that comprehensive speech-language pathology assessment includes these components:
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004) has specific provisions concerning the assessment of students (Sections 300.301-300.305) in schools. In addition, SLPs need to follow state and local requirements for the assessments of students.
It is important to note the distinctions between the terms evaluation and assessment according to
IDEA Part C Guidelines. Evaluation means the "procedures used by qualified personnel to determine a child's initial and continuing eligibility..." Assessment means "the ongoing procedures used by qualified personnel to identify the child's unique strengths and needs and the early intervention services appropriate to meet those needs throughout the period of the child's eligibility...and includes the assessment of the child...and the assessment of the child's family..." (IDEA, Part C, Section 303.321)

I moved from the US to Spain recently. Verizon unlocked my Blackberry, and when I got to Spain, signed a contract with Movistar. The phone and text messaging work fine but the browser doesn't work. When you boot the browser, it says something like "server can't be found" and the the next times it would say "insufficient network to process request." Did a hard reset on the phone...
When looking at the host routing table, it is empty. I tried to register the phone but got no response. After speaking with Movistar, they tried to send a message to the phone authorizing it for data on the network but that didn't work, they kept saying they sent the message but nothing changed.
Apart from buying a new phone, any other suggestions or anything I might have missed?

Pretty bloody bad quality images. Look like they were taken underwater.

"On Beyond Zebra" is 5 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor (bolt count in the books is off).
It's given an "R" for pro in some books, but that's obsolete info, as the 2nd bolt was added after the FA (and the FAist was involved in the process). Now it is just minor runout on 5.8-ish terrain, no issue for anyone even considering 5.12b at White Rock.
I was happy to see the photos posted of the FA showing the arete to the left at the crux is "on", trying to go direct without the arete is quite hard.
Samet's description is hilarious, describing the route as "silly", "premeditated", "contrived" and "stupid" (unlike most rock climbing?), but I've still led it a few times.

I added a product on my Blackberry App World vendor portal. I wanted to submit the *.cod file to RIM and tried to add release. While importing the *.cod file, the page showed 6 files imported (Note: i have single *.cod file and releasing it for 5 devices) .
Why is it showing 6 files imported ?
Another problem is I am not clear on naming conventions while bundling *.zip file. I went through the referenced link but didn't get it all.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Is this the probable explanation ?
You need to submit *.cod file, Digital goods are used if your app contains additional content, that is unlocked after user pays for it.
Skip the .zip-file thing, it is a bit complicated, especially for beginners (meh, I didn't use it so far )
Just add a release, define release version and upload your .cod file. If you have different .cod files for different OS versions, upload .cod files one after another and specify minimum OS supported version for each of them.

Paule from Alsacea emailed us photos of her latest couture creation, a semi-fitted, collarless Chanel style jacket made from Missoni knit fabric bought from the first floor of Britex Fabrics. We love the hand-stitched detailing, and the way she accentuated the warm autumnal colors of the knit fabric with wine colored trim and toasty brown buttons. Julie said, "One of my coup-de-coeur was this knit from Missoni. Thick and overdecorated, it was still fairly light in weight. I decided to use Vogue 8804 pattern, a tweed knit vest Chanel style from Claire Shaeffer. A lot of hand sewing went into this project." Novelty wools are available in-store and online, and Vogue patterns are available on Britex Fabrics' 3rd floor.

Contact: email@example.com Type: Opinion of the Scientific Committee/Scientific Panel On request from: European Commission Question Number: EFSA-Q-2012-00911 Adopted: 4 July 2013 Published in the EFSA Journal: 12 August 2013 Affiliation: European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy Send Print Note: Read the article on the Wiley Online Library Abstract: Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety of polyvinyl alcohol-polyethylene glycol-graft-co-polymer (PVA-PEG graft co-polymer) as a film coating for food supplements. PVA-PEG graft co-polymer is a branched molecule consisting of about 75 % PVA and 25 % PEG units. The polymer is currently approved in pharmaceuticals in the EU. The specifications proposed are consistent with those for other already approved film-coating agents for use in the EU, including PVA and PEG, however, the Panel noted that no specifications for the impurities ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide are presently included. The co-polymer is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. In repeated dose oral toxicity studies in animals (rat, rabbit, and dogs) no adverse effects were shown. No chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity studies were provided, but no adverse effects following long-term consumption of PVA-PEG graft co-polymer are expected given the absence of any substance-related adverse effects in the shorter-term toxicity studies and the fact that the co-polymer is virtually not absorbed following oral administration. Based on in vitro and in vivo assays the co-polymer is found to be not genotoxic. From a subchronic feeding study in the dog a NOAEL of approximately 800 mg/kg bw/day (highest dose tested) was identified. Conservative intake estimates from food supplements amounted to 4.3 mg/kg bw/day for children and 5 mg/kg bw/day for adults leading to a sufficient Margin of Safety compared to the NOAEL. From the maximum residual level of vinyl acetate Margins of Exposure of > 106 were calculated. The Panel concluded that the use of PVA-PEG graft co-polymer food supplements as a film coating is of no safety concern at the proposed uses. © European Food Safety Authority, 2013 Keywords: polyvinyl alcohol-polyethylene glycol-graft-co-polymer; PVA-PEG graft co-polymer; CAS Registry Number 96734-39-3; coating food supplements; instant release film coating; PVA; PEG Print on demand Number of Pages: 30

On OSX at least, we need directional triangles for the panels.

About Outmatch
Formed in Toronto, Canada, Outmatch came together when high school friends Martin Acosta (vocals and guitars) and Mike Kovac (bass) met up with Kyle Lazenka (drums) and Jay Formosa (guitar and vocals). The band built a following quickly in the Canadian metropolis, attracting the attention of noted producer Justin Gray. Gray then helped the band on the road to fame by steering them towards -- surprisingly -- Germany, where they linked up with producers the Bermann Brothers, who in turn helped the band get signed to Maxi Media in 2005. Their debut single, "Broken," was released in 2007, and was soon followed by their full-length debut, Weightless, in early 2008. ~ Chris True, Rovi

Design Miami
Reportage from the limited edition design fair
The "jewel" design fair curated by Wava Carpenter who took over from previous Director, Ambra Medda -who by the way yesterday was all smiles at the opening of the new edition- is a non-stop exhibition of ideas, concepts and projects aiming at becoming reference points in the history of design. Starting from the great James Mont's couch in an alluring pearl-gray velvet fabric (1940), which seems to invite you to rest your head on, or Joseph Walsh's oversized carved wood table, part of Studio Furniture Masters a group show belonging to Todd Merrill Antique or even Brazilian brothers Campana's extremely popular creations: furry armchairs that camouflage with tiger cubs and polar bears and whimsical lamps, the Emeralda Chandelier that look like beehives.
All the exhibiting galleries showcase limited edition pieces in line with Design Miami's formula which, launched six years ago, it joined Art Basel in Miami first and then in Basilea in applying to design a concept typical of art: that of limited edition. A very debatable idea but undoubtedly highly fascinating. Talking to the members of MatterMade at Design on/site, I'm told that this section of the fair features projects designed and created ad-hoc after receiving the invitation to exhibit. Among such projects are Ceres, Lindsey Adelman's ten lights with an organic shape and a hi-tech mechanism or the prototype of Graft for Stilwerk, a limited edition dining table in carbon fibre and reinforced plastic that looks like a table covered by an ultra-thin table cloth.
The strength of Design Miami lies in the fact that the fair relies entirely on the work of emerging designers: starting from Konstantin Grcic, winner of the Designer of the year 2010/Design Miami award who designed the catalogue cover to the structure of the temporary hall - a project of up-and-coming New York Studio Moorhead & Moorhead.
The focus is on the choice of materials: Tephra Formations (couches and coffee tables designed by Robert Stadler for London workshop gallery, Carpenters), for instance, look like inflatable pieces of furniture but are in fact made from steel and leather; Wendell Castle's chairs/sculptures for Barry Friedman are made of bronze while the extremely sophisticated Asian vases showcased by Seoemi Seul Gallery are in wood with metal inserts. On the way out the visitor might even decide to lie down on one of the Netscape hammocks and gather his/her thoughts on the fair or watch very eccentric looking characters of the world of design on their way to a party in the Design District, the fair's original quarter.

Amazon Subscription Hike Boosts ShopRunner - Alpha Resource Partners
Alpha Resource Partners says online retail giant, Amazon 's decision to hike its Prime subscription price to $99 has prompted rivals to up the ante.
Shenzhen, China., March 21, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) - Shenzhen-based Alpha Resource Partners has reported that Amazon's decision to raise the subscription fee for its Prime shipping program is being seen as an opportunity for Alibaba-backed rival, ShopRunner.
Amazon's price hike represents the first increase in the company's nine year history and ShopRunner is taking advantage by offering less-than-pleased Amazon Prime customers their own Prime two-day delivery service for free for the first year.
"ShopRunner is definitely taking advantage of this development and the waiver of its usual $79 fee is a good start. Like Amazon, ShopRunner also deals with bricks & mortar retailers and can guarantee two-day shipping but clearly, Amazon didn't hike its prices arbitrarily. Shipping costs have risen significantly and you can rest assured that if they've risen for Amazon, they've almost certainly risen for ShopRunner," said an Alpha Resource Partners researcher.
ShopRunner, which partners with brick-and-mortar retailers to ensure two-day shipping, is launching a program waiving its normal $79 fee for a year for "disgruntled" Prime customers, said Fiona Dias, the company's chief strategy officer.
In recent weeks, Amazon has aggressively targeted new retailers that ShopRunner would typically have arrangements with or be courting. The company has induced retailers to list their merchandise on Amazon's website in exchange for the Prime shipping two-day delivery guarantee.
These retailers would pay Amazon a click-fee for shoppers who are subsequently redirected to their own websites to effect a purchase.
Alpha Resource Partners says it does not expect a mass exodus from Amazon citing the company's strong goodwill and consistent track record for reliability.

Quipped the prophet Elijah one evening whilst lolling about a particularly refulgent cumulonimbus arrangement – "Do you know this what I'm goin' to tell you? It would be easier to tear the night-time from the skies with nowt but the yellow off a badger's teeth, so it would, than to keep even halfways up to date with the recorded works of Jello Biafra."
"Ho, now" says Mohammad from atop a similarly spectacular cloudscape. "He's shockin' altogether, isn't he just? Never sleeps a wink so long as he knows there's a record being made somewhere that he hasn't got somethin' to do with."
"You think you've got them all" Elijah laments, "When here, by Jesus, hasn't some Melvins collaboration you never heard tell of gone and revealed itself at the quantum level somewhere?"
"A man I knew" says St Paul, himself lain bare-back midst the sapphire blooms of a copse underneath, "He was troubled somethin' wicked with a pain under the arm there. Threshing the oxster raw, it was. Says all and sundry; 'That's a cyst is what that is, and the devil's torment thrice over it'll give if you don't get it seen to by a doctor.' So away he goes to the doctor. 'Doctor' says he, 'I've the right hoor of a cyst on my oxster there, would you for mercy's sakes bid it shoo out o' that.'"
Mohammad gives a knowing sigh. "They're the wicked buggers right enough, the cysts. One on the back of my neck at a time, I had. Bad rascals if ever were any."
"The doctor takes the scalpel to the article" St Paul continues, "and here he is pokin' away there, and I'll be damned if it didn't turn out to be no cyst at all but rather six EPs Jello Biafra had somehow released via the poor bastard's immune system someway."
Elijah and Mohammad both tut and shake the heads, the latter saying "For the record shelves can hold no more."
"Damn the shelf can bear another note" Elijah says. Then, after a moment's thought – "Mind you, we'd be a sorry bunch o' boys without them."
"Well this is it" St Paul agrees. "And it's a sacrifice I'd be hard pressed to refuse. Should it prove the ruin of all the armpits and the quarks in the world, still I wouldn't be without a single Jello Biafra recording."
"All the armpits in china I'd relinquish for it" Elijah nods, twirling a length of vapour around his index finger. "Some of the best records ever made, that man put his name to."
A litany of wonders recounted – Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables, Frankenchrist, Prairie Home Invasion, that one with DOA…
"Last Scream Of The Missing Neighbours?" St Paul offers.
"The very one" says Elijah. "The very one."
"D'you what I love most of all?" St. Paul enquires wistfully. "The spoken word records. Aw but they're beautiful so they are. Orations as spectacular as any I've heard that were given on a stage or a podium and not a mountain."
"There's a new one an' all" Mohammad says, "But damn the word I've got to hear for I've been that busy with the you-know-who gettin' up to no end of you-know-what – the fiercest grief I'm gettin' over the head of it. D'you know what they're at next? They've only just -"
At this, Elijah raises a hand, thank God, and also a compact disc player. "Well now" says he. "It just so happens I have here in these clouds a cd-r of In The Grip Of Official Treason that I burned from off the copy Mary stole off Arthur Miller there Saturday past."
"You have not!"
"I have boy."
"Oh but that's the quare wonderful turn of events! And there I thought I'd never hear a word, what with the -"
"Hush now" says St. Paul. "Hush now for by God the last thing we need is a barrage o' that class of talk, thank you all the same."
And so, with much nodding of heads and raising of eyebrows and chortles of "That's the boy, Biafra, you tell them!", Mohammad, St. Paul and Elijah sat huddled about the speakers, cocking the ears to hear over the intermittent raging of Jehovah, Himself busy smiting the balls off of some crew of pagans nestled to the west of Cyprus.
"He's the wild man for the smiting" St Paul says with a skew of the mouth. "Jesus but it'd drive you mad, that bit of smiting he goes on with."
"Quiet till we hear" says Elijah, crossing the legs. "Good stuff, this…"
So much has Jello Biafra to say, and so passionately does he say it, that I'd be truly shocked to the back of my absent vulva to learn he goes through anything less than forty-nine tongues a fortnight.
Throughout his regular spoken word performances, I'd wager he needs a new tongue after every other sentence. Roadies come bounding across the stage, I dare say, decked out in black shirts and trousers so as we can only see the disembodied balding heads hovering eerily about the monitors, soldering the new muscles into place mid-syllable, racing off then into the wings with the spent articles clutched in the paws like jellied eels.
Facts, figures, names dropped and kicked senseless and tossed to the crowd, myths debunked, fresh myths woven…
Like a man possessed he goes, the droll, oft-times incredibly sarcastic delivery masking only slightly the torrent of information each beautifully phrased quip might hold.
Sadly, the audience, most likely, have only got, at most, two ears per head, which is at least eight shy of the ten you'd need to take it all in. Thank God, then, that Alternative Tentacles have long been releasing live albums recorded at these particular performances, and so a fella can pause it a time here and there, can think, muse, take notes, allow himself a bitter laugh without fearing it'll be at the expense of something altogether astounding coming right after the funny thing.
The most recent of these albums, an epic three-disc (or three-psalm) affair by the name of In The Grip Of Official Treason, consists of recordings made at various American venues from 2004 to 2006, the shebang kicking off with an awe-inspiring harangue captured at a Punk Voter / Rock Against Bush extravaganza in 2004.
Characteristically shy and wary of stoking any controversy at all, Jello's been on stage for no more than 30 seconds before he's announcing, with the veins audibly erupting 'neath the skin of his neck, that "Nobody has done more to disrespect and exploit the innocent people who died on September 11th and piss on their graves than George Bush."
Cheers and hollers from the audience.
"If you know anybody who's in the military or thinking of joining up, and you care about them, now would be a really good time to tell them to get the fuck out of there as quick as they can."
Further cheers and hollers.
By the end of the 24-and-a-bit minutes Jello spends wrestling with the microphone, they've been cheering and hollering with such zeal and passion that a fella finds himself pitying both whoever took the stage thereafter, and whoever has to clean the site at the end of the evening – throats choked out faces litter the grounds, a fella can reasonably assume, surely to God.
Of the topics snared and bitten and stomped to colourless mush;
Gulf War Syndrome. Media Distraction / Media Subversion ("Become The Media!"). Military Strategy ("All we're doing is planting the seeds for more Osama Bin Ladens!"). Medical Insurance ("What kind of twisted, fundamentalist, Christian Nazi logic is this? The life of the unborn child is sacred… But once they're born? Fuck 'em!"). The Iraq War ("Hey, I support the troops when I say Bring Them Home!"). National Security. The importance of local elections. The worth of individual action – however slight – in the face of condescending snobbery from the More Radical Than Thou elements. The loss of American jobs to China.
And so on and so forth.
This extraordinary spiel sets the tone, more or less, for the remainder of the set. Incredibly incisive critique coupled with brilliantly rabble-rousing sloganeering, deeply distressing facts and figures nestled alongside the kinds of asides that have a fella hunched and spluttering with the laughter careering out his face like a herd of rabid gazelle.
Upon reflection, also, a fella notes that, in his continual emphasis herein on the importance of grassroots politics, of local elections, of "widening the base of the pyramid", Jello is concerning himself not only with problems but with real, workable solutions – long-term solutions that may take a year or twenty to bear fruit, but which, in their very far-sightedness, are steeled against the disappointment and sense of futility that might otherwise have gripped hold the soul with, for example, the re-election of George W Bush. Biafra, it becomes apparent, never expected anything else. These things don't change in a few months, or a year or two years. The work put in now is in service of a reward or series of rewards flittering up out the cracks in the stone maybe a decade hence.
At near four-hours long, In The Grip Of Official Treason is immense and demanding. It requires a sharpness of ear and brain that most likely isn't gonna hold out much further on first listen than the hilarious, scathing attack on Hilary Clinton and her "friends" near the end of the first disc – "These people are not our friends!"
What it requires is that the listening be spread out over three days – a day per disc – and even then, each disc in itself has so much goin' on that the chances of picking it all up on one spin are nigh-on impossible. Too often the mind will bound towards this or that revelation or musing as a woebegone sailor to the sirens, and will reel around those rocks for maybe forty-five minutes, contemplating and assessing, before returning to the shore, only to find that the disc has ended, that the applause and the hooting has stilled and that nowt but the hiss of the radiators or the batterin' of the wind at the windows and doors remains.
Again, that finger must be jabbed at the Play button. Again, for I've missed the entirety of the updated "Die For Oil, Sucker". Again, for I've missed that brilliant account of Jello's visit to post-Katrina New Orleans. Again, for the stuff about Reconstructionism and theocracy and the coalition twixt the Christian Right and the Jewish Right has passed me by entirely.
Jello Biafra is a hero of mine and the only one that makes me feel guilty for such. The irony of it all – the idolised iconoclast…
He remains important, relevant, exciting, even when so many of his Old School peers (his old bandmates, for example), have fallen knackered to the dirt, content to deal in nowt more than nostalgia, set upon at the last by the wolves so gallantly held at (East) Bay (Ray) for so long.
The shift from red to blue – so beautifully lamented by Billy Bragg in the opening track of William Bloke a decade ago – is not, people like Jello Biafra (and indeed Bragg himself) constantly remind us, inevitable.
It is possible to retain the anger and the passion and the humanity of youth, yes, and to utilise those articles for so long as you're capable of utilising anything, in the pursuit of great and wonderful things.
In The Grip Of Official Treason is a great and wonderful thing from which any amount of great and wonderful things might be wrought.
A Word About The Artwork
The first thing a fella notices about In The Grip Of Official Treason, long before he's ever plucked a disc from out the bindings, is how extraordinarily beautiful those bindings are in themselves.
Folks weep and wail and gnash their teeth over the heads of the sundry casualties of the Download Era. Strewn left and right across the web, bloodied, begouged and degraded wrecks of creatures with names like Sound Quality and Artist Rights and Industry Green.
But for Shafting Noah's Sakes will somebody please consider the artwork?
For sure, you can get a hi-res jpeg image of what the cover might look like in some mystical "physical" realm, you can get the general gist of the thing, but to hold In The Grip Of Official Treason in your hands, to sniff and to feel and to scrutinize with fingers and with eyes every inch of Winston Smith's astounding artwork, or of Jello Biafra's pain-stakingly assembled collage… It is a pleasure of rare potency.
It's a package the likes of which will have you phoning folks for to say "I've finished with the lawnmower / dildo / bottle-opener if you wanna come pick it up" just so as you can have it sitting in full-view on the kitchen table, that they might catch sight of it in passing, and you can chuckle to yourself for the rest of the evening at the thought of the jealousy and the awe battling it out in the whites of their eyes.
To the best of my knowledge there's no real equivalent in the digital realm. To the best of my knowledge no-one sits in their bedroom for sixteen hours salivating over the colours of an mp3.
The artwork is something to be studied and scrutinized for months, years. As is the content of the record. Whilst some references may be dated (Janet Jackson's tittie!) and some names may have already toppled into the most ill-lit corners of historical obscurantism, the point of it all remains valid, the humour remains razor-sharp and the joy of Jello in your ear-holes for a time remains as ineffable a delight as ever it was.

What does Jimmy Kimmel have to say about the big Jay Leno news? After all, when it was looking like Jay was leaving NBC, the likely place for him to go was ABC, which didn't bode well for Jimmy.
"They say this could bring NBC the one thing it is currently lacking in prime-time -- which is anything at all," cracked Jimmy on his show last night. "Although it is probably bad news for my write-in campaign to save Lipstick Jungle. I think I'm going to have to give that up. I'm not going to lie: I feel like a huge chin has been lifted off of my shoulders. I want our loyal viewers to know that I spoke to the president of ABC this morning and he assured me that, unless something better comes along, I will be on this network for many years to come."

To put this strategy to use, you need to own the stock. Selling naked calls is generally very risky because it provides one with limited returns but unlimited risk.
What are covered calls?
An investor basically writes a call option (sells calls) that is backed by with the equivalent number of shares, hence the name covered call. If the stock is purchased at the same time a call contract is sold it's often referred to as a "buy write". On the other hand, if the shares are already from a previous purchase, it is referred to as "overwrite." This is the most basic and widely used strategy, which combines the flexibility of options with stock ownership.
Let us look at an example
Let's say you own 300 shares in Seadrill (NYSE:SDRL), which is currently trading at 40, and you think that there is little chance that the stock is going to hit 45 in the next three to six months. You could for example, sell calls with a strike of 45. The premium you receive is yours to keep. If in the next three to six months SDRL does not trade above 45 (usually the stock has to trade above the strike price on the last trading day), then you hold onto the shares as well as the premium.
Benefits of employing this strategy
Income generation
Each contract trades at a premium (the higher the beta the higher the premium), and the buyer of the contract pays you that premium for the right to purchase 100 shares of the stock at the strike price. The premium is deposited immediately into your brokerage account.
Downside protection and reduction in Portfolio volatility
If the stock drops in value, the premium collected at least provides some type of return, and it can offset all or part of the loss depending on how severely the stock has pulled back. For example, if you sold a covered call against a stock when it was trading $20 for a premium of $2.50, then as long as the stock does not drop below $17.50 you are okay. In essence, you have reduced your entry price to $17.50. If this strategy is actively employed, then you could in general significantly reduce the volatility your portfolio is subjected to.
Predetermined rate of Return
This strategy gives you a decent idea of what your rate of return on your investment will be. Regardless of what takes place you still get to keep the premium. If your shares are called away from you at the strike price, it is easy to figure your profit; this is the difference from what you paid for the stock and the strike price you sold the option, plus the premium you collected. So let's take the above example. If SDRL trades above 45, your shares are called, and you are out at 45. Let's assume you paid $40 for each share, your profit is 5 plus the 2.50 which you received in premium for a total gain of 18.75%.
If the stock starts to drop in price, you lose money on paper (much like any other share holder) when the price of the stock falls in excess of the premium you received.
Converts a common stock into a dividend paying stock
The moment you sell the call option, the stock you own, in essence, has turned into a dividend paying-stock; if it already pays a dividend you have turbo charged your gains.
Repeat the process all over again
If your shares have not been called away from you, you can repeat the whole process again. Utilized properly this strategy can produce an income stream that can surpass the dividend paid out by that specific stock. If the stock does not pay out a dividend, you have just converted into one that does. If the stock is called, there is nothing to prevent you from buying another good stock and repeating the whole process again. Alternatively, if you do not want your shares to be called away, you could roll the call. Buy the call you sold back and sell new out of the money calls.
Buy back the call
If you sold the call for a premium of 2.50 and the call is now trading at 1.00, you could buy the call back, and you still get to keep the difference, which in this case amounts to $1.50. You could take things one step further and start the whole process again by selling calls that are fetching higher premiums. For example, you sold calls on stock X when it was trading at 37 with a strike at 40 for a premium of $2.50. The stock is now trading at 34, so you buy the call back and sell new calls with a strike at 37.50.
Covered call Strategy for Wells Fargo & company (NYSE:WFC):
The stock is rather overbought and has generated a series of negative divergence signals. A negative divergence is when several technical indicators refuse to confirm a stock's recent highs. The stock could easily pullback to the 30.00 ranges. This is a short to midterm strategy (3-6 months). Long term the trend is still up and the outlook remains bullish. A weekly close below 32.00 should result in a test of the 29.80-30.50 ranges. Potentially it could briefly trade down to the 28 ranges before putting in a bottom.
The stock is still in the process of topping out and could test the 34.00-34.50 ranges again. A good sign that a stock is going to pullback is when it puts in a series of lower highs. The Jan 35.00, 2012 calls are trading in the $1.58-1.63 ranges. If the stock trades to the suggested ranges the calls should trade in the 1.80-1.90 ranges. For this example we will assume that we can sell the calls for $1.80. For each call sold, $180 will be deposited into your account.
If the stock trades above 35.00 there is a chance that your shares could be called away. One way to avoid this is to roll the calls. Buy back the old calls and sell new calls. If the stock does not trade above 35.00 you get to keep the premium which in this case works out 5.4% in roughly 6 months. In addition to the premium you will walk away with some capital gains depending which will vary based on your entry price. This strategy should only be employed when a stock is overbought and you are looking to limit your downside or walk away with a predetermined amount of profit.
An additional suggestion
If you are bullish on the long term prospects of this stock, then you could sell puts at with strikes in the 29-30 ranges when the stock trades in the 30.00-31.00 ranges. The Jan 2013, 30 puts are currently trading in the $1.08-$1.11 ranges. If the stock pulls back to the stated ranges these puts should trade in the 2.00-2.25 ranges. If the shares are assigned to your account you will get in at 28.00 or better. If the shares are not assigned to your account, you walk away with an extra 6.8%.

Only put this strategy to play if you can deal with the possibility of having your shares called. One way to deal with this, if you are sitting on substantial gains and do not to deal with the extra tax issues, is to roll the calls. Buy back the old calls and sell new slightly out of the money calls.

Hollywood star Colin Farrell could be joining the cast of True Detective for the second season of the highly acclaimed HBO series.
The Irish actor is reportedly in talks with the makers of True Detective and would be the third major Hollywood star on the show.
Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson starred in the first season of the crime drama, which saw the pair play homicide detectives hunting a serial killer in Louisiana across 17 years.
It is believed that if Farrell did come on board, the show would then focus on the three leads and set in California.
The television series is notable for its use of high profile Hollywood stars playing the leads and casting Farrell would continue this trend.
However, Farrell is not the first actor to be mooted to join the show, there was speculation that Zero Dark Thirty's Jessica Chastain and Brad Pitt, among others, could be taking on major roles on True Detective.
According to the American entertainment news site Deadline.com, Farrell is in "deep talks" over a lead role on the show.

Although he is best known for his work on big Hollywood films, Farrell got his first big break on the British television series Ballykissangel back in 1998, playing Danny Byrne.
If Farrell does seal the deal with the makers of True Detective, the role will see the actor returning to the medium that first brought him to notice.
Earlier this week True Detective received a number of Emmy Awards nominations, including one for Best Drama Series and one for both McConaughey and Harrelson.
Work has already started on the second season of True Detective, with the first two episodes of the series already written.
HBO's head of programming, Michael Lombardo, said that the new scripts are "more exciting than the first season".
Speaking at the audience Television Critics Association press tour on Thursday, Mr Lombardo said [Creator Nic Pizzolatto is] "an incredibly talented writer. And he's blown us away with the first two episodes."
Regarding casting rumours, Lombardo said that they are "in conversations" and that an announcement could be taking place in the next week.

India have called off next month's tour of Pakistan, the government refusing permission amid simmering tension between the nuclear-armed neighbours over the militant attacks in Mumbai in November.
"We have received a letter from the government that the tour is not feasible under the prevailing circumstances," Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief operating officer Ratnakar Shetty told Reuters.
A senior Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official said an official invitation had already been sent to Sri Lanka to play three tests, three one-dayers and a Twenty20 match to replace the cancelled tour.
"It is disappointing for us but we were expecting this," PCB chief operating officer Salim Altaf told reporters in Lahore.
"We believe cricket can help improve relations between the two nations."
The decision to withdraw from the tour, which was due to involve three tests, five one-day games and a Twenty20 international, will raise concerns over the 2011 World Cup to be staged by India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
However, Shetty said: "It is too early to draw any conclusions on an event that is three years away."
Improving ties between the two neighbours suddenly dipped when India blamed Islamist militants based in Pakistan for the attacks in Mumbai which killed at least 179 people.
Any hopes of the Jan. 13-Feb. 19 tour going ahead seemed to disappear when federal sports minister Manohar Singh Gill opposed the trip earlier this month.
Political commentators said Thursday's decision would further harm relations between India and Pakistan.
First Casualty
"India is reducing its contact with Pakistan and the cricket tour had to be the first casualty," political analyst Amulya Ganguli told Reuters. "There is no immediate chance of any improvement of relations between the two countries now."
Others thought the trip should have proceeded.
"I wish the tour had gone ahead as it could have generated some goodwill at a time when it is needed the most," said political commentator Kuldip Nayar.
U.S. and British officials have joined New Delhi in calling on Pakistan to do more to stamp out militant groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, which they blame for the Mumbai attacks, from operating on its soil.
They have also urged restraint from India in its response to the attack and offered help in investigations as well as in the fight against militancy in both countries, which have fought three wars since independence from Britain in 1947.
Political tensions have forced the cancellation of previous series between the neighbours.
In 2004, India toured Pakistan for a full series for the first time in almost 15 years following a thaw in tensions.
The Indians went on to clinch their first test-series win on Pakistan soil.

CAPSULE:1999-2016 is a retrospective collection that represents a golden era for The Faint. The album includes 16 of their most beloved songs from five albums and is an excellent primer for new fans or a classic collection for those who've been nodding along since the Blank-Wave Arcade days. Noisey is running an exclusive premiere of "Skylab1979," one of two new tracks appearing on the album in addition to the recently released "Young & Realistic."
The Omaha-based band had been kicking around for four years prior to that period, but had a hard time hitting their stride. "We didn't make anything we really liked until 1999," frontman Todd Fink laughs. The Faint released some initial material that fit in with the times-reminiscent of the post-punk sounds of Fugazi and other Dischord Records bands-but wasn't anything spectacular, lacking the distinct personality that would eventually come to define them.
It was in writing "Worked Up So Sexual," the hit single from 1999's Blank-Wave Arcade, that the band struck their jackpot moment. They discovered an entirely original fusion of synth sounds over a blaring rock background, one that was as catchy as it was danceable. Just like that, the Faint captured lightning in a bottle.
"I felt lucky... like, blessed or something," Fink remembers. "By the time we'd actually recorded those songs, we were like, 'Yeah, this is where it's at.' We were excited to go play basement shows and little bars and halls and just bring the music that we hunted down, that felt like us."
Still reveling in the success of their newfound identity, the band added death metal guitarist Dapose and released their masterpiece, Danse Macabre, in 2001, one of Saddle Creek's all-time "big three" albums, right up there with Cursive's The Ugly Organ and Bright Eyes' Lifted. It was a dark and sinister work that could still be enjoyed on the dance floor. Songs like "Agenda Suicide" and "Glass Danse" forced blasts of disorienting techno beats into aggressive, almost industrial noise that leaned heavily on filthy bass lines. The album exploded, and their weirdo melange of genres brought them a sizeable audience dancing along.
Armed with their new, dynamic sound, the band released an onslaught onto unsuspecting crowds around the country-a bombastic audio/visual assault of strobe lights, keyboards, and dance-punk. At times, they were convinced that their esoteric style of punk with a fun twist was bound to turn people off, but to their surprise, the Faint began to catch on. Over the next few years, they continued to evolve on Wet from Birth in 2004 and Fasciinatiion in 2008, before taking a hiatus prior to returning for their anticipated 2014 album, Doom Abuse.
CAPSULE:1999-2016 serves to bookend this remarkable 17-year period for the Omaha vets, a time which saw them as imitable pioneers of electro-punk. In addition to highlighting songs from five of The Faint's most popular albums, CAPSULE:1999-2016 features three new songs. The recently released single, "Young & Realistic," and two bonus unreleased songs: "Skylab1979" and "ESP," all of which feature latest member Graham Ulicny (Reptar) on synth duties. The new songs give a glimpse of what's to come for The Faint, as they embark on a new chapter in their long, influential career.

It's calling me…
Can you hear? Its screams and shouts.
On the difficult ways, full of rocks
I fell, I cried, I rose and I tried
I let go my tears….
But don't fear…
of this life.
It's pulling me.
Can you see, it's rough and harsh.
Taking me down in the darker dark
I said to myself never to regret
Though it is worst,
I have faith
In this life…
It's killing me.
Can you feel, ripping off my dreams.
My power and my strength…
But I never cared..no matter
How it hurts…
I wake up with hopes
in these swollen eyes
to live this LIFE….
