SuperCable Pro is Super!
Here is my review in the TW format of the WeissCannon SuperCable Pro 16.
Stringing: It was eerily similar to MCS which is easy to string up. Smell, feel and gauge seemed the same. Out on the court, it was very easy to tell they were not even close to being the same string.
Tension it is strung: 60 pounds on a lockout machine full bed
Your regular string set up: Weiss Cannon Black 5 Edge 17 Mains(52#)/Genesis Thunder Blast 16 Crosses(56#)
Racket: Pro Kennex 7G (this is different than the others tested in the Babolat PST+)
String pattern of your racquet: 16 x 20
Power (or lack there of): Low/Medium powered multi
Feel: Average
Tension maintenance: Initial tension loss was 12% according to RacquetTune. The last reading before breakage I got was 16.5%.
Price: $9.95/set, $89.90/reel.
Overall comments and feedback: See below
General: I did not know what to think when I first started hitting with this string. It is not one where you feel a close connection to the string bed since there is not much dwell time. The only other string like this where I played well with it was Tecnifibre DuraMix.
Serve/Return of Serve: This is not the most powerful string but I could still get aces with it due to the accuracy. My 2nd serve did not feel like it was getting much spin but my opponents could not do anything with it and I could visually see the ball was bouncing quite high. Returns were just terrific with this string. I can easily go into a mode of chipping returns back if I miss a few but this string begged me to take cuts at serves.
Strokes: Good spin on both wings even though it did not feel like it was coming off the strings with much spin. Depth control was excellent. I made very few unforced errors. The slice backhand was average. The reason I'm ranking this string so high is that I just felt like I could hit the ball as hard as I wanted and it would stay in. There is no better feeling on a tennis court than being free to hit out and watching almost every ball land in the court.
Volleys: Volleys are average with this string. I hit so many winners that I did not get much chance to use it at net.
Touch shots: Touch shots were average with this string. Again, I was too busy pounding winners to mess with too many drop shots.
Softness: This is a medium stiffness multi.
Tension: 60 was perfect for me.
Durability: This one lasted a little over 8 sets. Only 3 of those sets were long, the other 5 I won easily so that probably means closer to 7 hours before breakage.
Movement: String movement was the worst of any string I can remember. The anal retentive type would NOT be happy with this string (cough cough KCraig).
Conclusion: This was the best mid-priced range multi I tried until my Prince Premiere Attack 16 playtest. I'm with PVAudio, WeissCannon just makes some of the best strings out there. Let's hope some high profile professional player does not discover this and raise all our prices. Shh, don't tell anyone...
UPDATE: I've heard for years this string is no longer being made but I keep seeing it for sale???

This nation was not found on christian values, remember there were people that were already here when America was "discovered". Also, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin wanted to make sure that people always had freedom from religion, not of. Read a history book because most of you are uneducated idiots. This nation was not founded on judeo-christian values, it was ruined by them. Most of you make me sick, this girl did an amazingly brave thing. How would you guys feel if it was a prayer to Buddha or Mohammed? You would want it taken down, right? That is what I thought.
"Now what about the hundreds or thousands of kids who look forward to reading that banner everyday or ones that base there lives on it!"
Bwahahahahahahahahahahha. You're kidding right? It's pretty clear the only reason anyone cares about this banner is because it's being removed.

Defending champion Saina Nehwal survived a scare in her campaign opener as she struggled past Indonesia's Lindaweni Fanetri in an energy-sapping three game thriller at the Indonesian Super Series Premier here on Tuesday.
World No.2 Saina had to play out of her skin against the 14th ranked Fanetri, who posed a huge threat to the Indian before surrendering 17-21 29-27 13-21 in an hour and 14 minutes in a women's singles first round match at the Istora Gelora Bung Karno Stadium here.
The 23-year-old from Hyderabad will take on the winner of the match between Sayaka Takahashi of Japan and Thailand's Porntip Buranaprasertsuk in the pre-quarterfinals on Wednesday.
Saina, seeded second, relied on her smashes, while Fanetri dominated the net play.
In the opening game, Fanetri was leading 5-2 initially and it was only from tied 9-9 that Saina could get ahead of the Indonesian even though she was always breathing down her neck.
Fierce battle
The 24-year-old Indonesian, egged on by the local crowd, raised her game and engaged in a fierce battle and went into the breather with a slender 11-9 advantage in the second game.
Saina battled on and turned the tables at 15-15 but even though she was just two points away from pocketing the match, Fanetri clawed back at the right time and eventually roared back into the contest after an intense fight till the end.
However, in the decider, Saina showed why she is considered to be one of the best in the business. While the gruelling second game took a toll on Fanetri, Saina's fitness came to her rescue as she zoomed ahead to a 5-0 lead.
Thereafter the Indian just didn't allow the Indonesian to come close and at the end won the issue comfortably.
In the mixed doubles, World No. 29 pair of Tarun Kona and Ashwini Ponnappa prevailed over Praveen Jordan and Vita Marissa, ranked 30, 21-18 14-21 25-23 in a 53-minute engrossing battle. The Indian pair will face the seventh seeded Polish combo of Robert Mateusiak and Nadiezda Zieba in the pre-quarterfinals on Wednesday.

Yeah that's what I'm doing, I used the dummies from one of the deloreans now all I have to do is rotate the axises so it looks like a car and not something from space. I am going to use the regular gull wing for the moment while I try to make the doors function much like the SLR.

Ok, let us know how it goes.
|Jul 5 2007, 9:28pm Anchor
Well not good so far. I've been working with the hood and I can't seem to get it to open forward. I've rotated the axis of the parts and dummies every which way and the hood opens into the car when damaged instead of forwards
|Jul 5 2007, 9:32pm Anchor
oh, that, thats a handling flag. Just add 4 to your handling flags.
Edited by (in order): Delorean88us, Delorean88us
|Jul 5 2007, 9:37pm Anchor
Oh that's what that is, ok i thought it had something to do with the dummy. Is there something for the doors too or are those just dummy oriented.
Also the Lybian's van does the same thing with its hood would adding that 4 do the same thing?
|Jul 5 2007, 9:38pm Anchor
those are dummy orientated. Adding 4 would do the same thing with the lybian van as well.
|Jul 5 2007, 9:45pm Anchor
Good, that means now I can work on the doors, and fix the Lybians van. Thanks.
|Jul 5 2007, 9:46pm Anchor
no problem. Can't wait for the 2004 delorean to come out. Gonna be fun to drive. Oh, are you going to make the hover converted version of it?
|Jul 5 2007, 9:59pm Anchor
Ok, I added the 4 and the car acted really weird, I opened the handling file with CFG Studio and there's a rev bonnet option that added a number five. I'm going to try that and see if it works. I do suppose I can put the hover things on the car. I think I could make them extras, or if you prefer something else let me know.
|Jul 5 2007, 10:01pm Anchor
Hmm, maybe if i find a way to add planes, make it a seperate model like the delorean. Extras won't work, as the wheels will still show.
And i didn't know you had cfg studio. If so, i would have told you just to tick off rev bonnet. Oh well, there's always the delorean's handling flags.
|Jul 5 2007, 10:10pm Anchor
Ok, hmm what if you try using one of the helicopters as an alternate model? But I can make it a separate model no sweat.
Hehehe well now you know. With the hood working now I can move on to the doors.
|Jul 5 2007, 10:12pm Anchor
haha, that works.
|Jul 5 2007, 10:14pm Anchor
Cool, you think you could handle the handling file for it cause I have no clue how to mess with helicopters handling.

I think you can open the passenger side door and then leave it open but you have to pull a passenger out first and then move away from the door.

How does a firm emerge as 'leader of the pack'? Why do most of the small firms so common in the early years of new industries disappear? This unit looks at how and why change occurs through the industry life cycle, at the role of innnovation and at how production costs, demand and technology interact to shape industrial structure.
After studying this unit you should be able to:
- appreciate the importance of technological change, costs of production and consumer preferences to the changing organisation of production;
- understand the relation between the quantity demanded of a good and its price as represented by the demand curve;
- understand economic models of the relation between firms' costs and output;
- analyse the role of technology and costs in influencing industry structure over the life cycle.

Innovation, markets and industrial change
This unit looks at the role of innovation in the development of industries and considers how production costs change as sales increase and as new technology is introduced into the production process. It looks at the relation between consumer demand for a good and that good's price, and at how the relation between output and production costs in different markets can dramatically affect industry structure. In describing these issues, the unit introduces the range of activities that constitutes economics: formulating theories, modelling, debate and persuasion, analysis of data, understanding the behaviour of economic institutions such as companies and households, and analysing economic processes. It also seeks to show how all of these economic techniques can be used to build up a rich understanding of innovation and economic change.

Dynamic SSL Certificate Generation
Goal: Reduce the number of "certificate mismatch" browser warnings when impersonating a site using the SslBump feature
Status: complete
Version: 3.2
Developer: AlexRousskov, Andrew Balabohin
More: Squid v3.1 (r9820) implementation; requires SslBump
This page describes dynamic SSL certificate generation feature for SslBump environments.
SslBump users know how many certificate warnings a single complex site (using dedicated image, style, and/or advertisement servers for embedded content) can generate. The warnings are legitimate and are caused by Squid-provided site certificate. Two things may be wrong with that certificate:
- Squid certificate is not signed by a trusted authority.
- Squid certificate name does not match the site domain name.
Squid can do nothing about (A), but in most targeted environments, users will trust the "man in the middle" authority and install the corresponding root certificate.
To avoid mismatch (B), the DynamicSslCert feature concentrates on generating site certificates that match the requested site domain name. Please note that the browser site name check does not really add much security in an SslBump environment where the user already trusts the "man in the middle". The check only adds warnings and creates page rendering problems in browsers that try to reduce the number of warnings by blocking some embedded content.
Usage hints
Here is the quick guide of how to make Dynamic SSL Certificate Generation feature work with your Squid installation. This simple document does not include all possible configurations.
Build Squid
Add SSL Bump and certificate generation options when building Squid. Dynamic generation of SSL certificates is not enabled by default:
./configure --enable-ssl --enable-ssl-crtd ... make all make install
Create Self-Signed Root CA Certificate
This certificate will be used by Squid to generate dynamic certificates for proxied sites. For all practical purposes, this certificate becomes a Root certificate and you become a Root CA.
If your certificate is compromised, any user trusting (knowingly or otherwise) your Root certificate may not be able to detect man-in-the-middle attacks orchestrated by others.
Create directory to store the certificate (the exact location is not important):
cd /etc/squid mkdir ssl_cert chown squid:squid chmod 700 ssl_cert cd ssl_cert
Create self-signed certificate (you will be asked to provide information that will be incorporated into your certificate):
- using OpenSSL:
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -x509 -keyout myCA.pem -out myCA.pem
- using GnuTLS certtool:
certtool --generate-privkey --outfile ca-key.pem certtool --generate-self-signed --load-privkey ca-key.pem --outfile myCA.pem
You can also specify some required additional CA's attributes in openssl.cfg to reduce the questions:
[ v3_req ] basicConstraints = CA:FALSE keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment [ v3_ca ] keyUsage = cRLSign, keyCertSign
Create a DER-encoded certificate to import into users' browsers
openssl x509 -in myCA.pem -outform DER -out myCA.der
The result file (myCA.der) should be imported into the 'Authorities' section of users' browsers.
For example, in FireFox:
- Open 'Preferences'
- Go to the 'Advanced' section, 'Encryption' tab
- Press the 'View Certificates' button and go to the 'Authorities' tab
- Press the 'Import' button, select the .der file that was created previously and pres 'OK'
In theory, you must either import your root certificate into browsers or instruct users on how to do that. Unfortunately, it is apparently a common practice among well-known Root CAs to issue subordinate root certificates. If you have obtained such a subordinate root certificate from a Root CA already trusted by your users, you do not need to import your certificate into browsers. However, going down this path may result in removal of the well-known Root CA certificate from browsers around the world. Such a removal will make your local SslBump-based infrastructure inoperable until you import your certificate, but that may only be the beginning of your troubles. Will the affected Root CA go after you to recoup their world-wide damages? What will your users do when they learn that you have been decrypting their traffic without their consent?
Configure Squid
Open squid.conf for editing, find http_port option and add certificate-related options. For example:
http_port 3128 ssl-bump generate-host-certificates=on dynamic_cert_mem_cache_size=4MB cert=/etc/squid/ssl_cert/myCA.pem
Also add the following lines to enable SSL bumping:
always_direct allow all ssl_bump allow all # the following two options are unsafe and not always necessary: sslproxy_cert_error allow all sslproxy_flags DONT_VERIFY_PEER
Configure access permissions according to your requirements: in the above configuration, the 'allow all' rules are given only as an example.
Additional configuration options (see below) can be added to squid.conf to tune the certificate helper configuration, but they are not required. If omitted, default values will be used.
sslcrtd_program /usr/local/squid/libexec/ssl_crtd -s /usr/local/squid/var/lib/ssl_db -M 4MB sslcrtd_children 5
Default disk cache size is 4MB ('-M 4MB' above), which in general will be enough to store ~1000 certificates,
- if Squid is used in busy environments this may need to be increased, as well as the number of 'sslcrtd_children'.
More information about the configuration options above can be found in /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf.documented or equivalent
Prepare directory for caching certificates:
/usr/local/squid/libexec/ssl_crtd -c -s /usr/local/squid/var/lib/ssl_db
The above command initializes the SSL database for storing cached certificates. More information about the ssl_ctrld program can be found in /usr/local/squid/libexec/ssl_crtd -h output.
If you run a multi-Squid environment with several certificates caching locations, you may also need to use the '-n' option when initializing ssl_db. The option sets the initial database serial number, which is incremented and used in each new certificate. To avoid serial number overlapping among instances, the initial serial may need to be set manually.
NOTE: whenever you change the signing CA be sure to erase and re-initialize the certificate database. It contains signed certificates and clients may experience connectivity problems when the signing CA no longer matches your configured CA.
After the SSL DB is initialized, make the directory writable for the squid user such as 'nobody':
chown -R nobody /usr/local/squid/var/lib/ssl_db
Now you can start Squid, modify users' browsers settings to use the proxy (if needed), and make sure that the signing certificate is correctly imported into the browsers. If everything was done correctly, Squid should process HTTPS sites without any warnings.
No dynamically generated certificates for intercepted connections
While SslBump itself works fine in transparent redirection environments (e.g. those using WCCP or iptables), dynamic certificate generation does not: To generate the certificate dynamically, Squid must know the server domain name. That information is not available at the time the HTTPS client TCP connection is intercepted and bumped. Currently, you cannot use dynamic certificate generation for transparent connections until bump-server-first is supported.
We believe it is technically possible to implement dynamic certificate generation for transparent connections. Doing so requires turning Squid transaction handling steps upside down, so that the secure connection with the server is established before the secure connection with the client. The implementation will be difficult, but it will allow Squid to get the server name from the server certificate and use that to generate a fake server certificate to give to the client. This connect-to-server-first approach can even support SNI. See bump-server-first feature for more information.
While this limitation is significant, it does not render the feature useless, of course. Many corporate deployments do not intercept connections but need to generate certificates.

Lady Gaga tried on this gorgeous wedding dress. Copyright [Twitter]Our first thought was omg! Lady Gaga's getting married. And what a stunning bride she makes.

[Related gallery: Lady Gaga's best outfits]
However, our hopes of Gaga nuptials were dashed, as she confirmed: "'It's my best friends wedding she made us try on dresses! BRIDESMAIDS VERA [Wang] Baby."
Lady Gaga looked stunning in the Vera Wang dress, which actually looks very similar to Rochelle Wiseman's wedding dress from the collection.
The dress was fitted with a ruffled fishtail, and Gaga teamed the beautiful dress with a flowing veil.
Lady Gaga posted this image to fans, of her with her boyfriend. Copyright [Lady GAGA]We could be forgiven for thinking that Gaga was getting married herself, after the racy image of her and her boyfriend that she posted online this week.
The photo was to celebrate Lady Gaga and her boyfriend Taylor Kinney's first year anniversary.
It showed them appearing to be skinny dipping in a pool, with Taylor holding Gaga in his arms and planting a kiss on her lips.
The pair met on the set of Lady Gaga's You and I video a year ago, and look pretty loved up to us - here's hoping for an actual wedding soon.

America is truly doomed. At least the idea of America, that experiment in self-government and liberty.
I say that not because of the spying revelations, which came hard on the heels of the ongoing Benghazi, IRS and AP/Fox News scandals. That government is spying on the people does not surprise me. I have long maintained Ś and have been called paranoid for it Ś that the government is monitoring every phone call and digital communication in this country.
That is why I like to use encryption technology when emailing, though very few of my correspondents have the same security sense as I do. Besides, despite claims to the contrary, I suspect the federal government has a backdoor to every encryption technology in use today.
However, as Sherlock Holmes told Dr. John Watson in ôA Scandal in Bohemia,ö ôYou see but you do not observe.ö That is the case here.
What civil libertarians see is the spying issue. That, to most of them, is the ôproblemö at hand.
However, the true problem is deeper. It is the reaction of the American people to the spying revelations.
In a Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll, a majority of Americans were OK with the federal government spying on them if it meant the possibility that it could prevent a terrorist attack.
The poll found that 56 percent of Americans consider the National Security Agencyĺs accessing of telephone call records of millions of Americans through secret court orders ôacceptable,ö while 41 percent call the practice ôunacceptable.ö
Additionally, 62 percent of Americans say itĺs more important for the government to investigate terrorist threats, even if those investigations intrude on personal privacy, while 34 percent say privacy should be the focus, regardless of the effect on such investigations.
I have met these people myself. When asked about the spying, they invariably say, in one form or another, ôYou have nothing to fear, if you have nothing to hide.ö
That my friends, is the death knell of a society when it becomes the prevalent view. That is something you expect from Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda for Nazi Germany. That kind of thinking has no place in a free society, especially in this digital age when any electronic communication can be kept indefinitely.
The idea that if you have nothing to hide, then you should be free from fear does not stand up to scrutiny. For example, as this spying here demonstrates, the collection of data often lasts longer than those who initiated it. So even if the initial people involved would not misuse the data, there is no guarantee that future government functionaries would not misuse the data.
That counters the claim put out by the once-libertarian Cato Institute that because the data has not been abused or breached, then government has done something right and we should be OK with the spying.
Another problem is that data collected by the government will eventually be shared across the government and, probably, with the private sector and the public, whether intentionally or through a data breach. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of cases of data being publicized through intentional theft as well as accidental losses, such as leaving a memory stick in the park or having a laptop stolen from a car.
Finally, there is no way to ensure that the data collected is even accurate. Every week we hear cases of mistaken identity or incorrect addresses leading authorities to harass the wrong people or kick in the wrong door, a mistake that is sometimes fatal.
The poll shows the hypocrisy, or idiocy, of the American voter. Sixty-nine percent of Democrats say terrorism investigations, not privacy, should be the governmentĺs main concern, which is an 18-percentage-point jump from early January 2006, when the NSA activity under the George W. Bush administration was first reported. Compared with that time, Republicansĺ focus on privacy has increased 22 points.
The Cato Institute is defending government spying, Democrats are claiming terrorism investigations are more important than privacy and Republicans are defending privacy against fighting terrorism.
What a topsy-turvy world. It is indeed strange times in which we live.

Calling footfaults is important

I've quoted the rules above for non-officiated games, not officiated games.
No one is disputing what the rule is in officiated games so you need to do some reading about what the precise topic is.
I must thank you for quoting this however because look how much the word 'imaginary' features in the defintion.
Is there anything imaginary about where a ball bounces?
Its a technical rule.
Funnily enough, I wouldn't call the movement of the back foot forward in a pinpoint serve as a 'slight movement', but it is interpreted as such.

ITF Tennis Rules (dated July 16, 2012), please see Rule 18, page 8:

b. Touch the baseline or the court with either foot; or
c. Touch the area outside the imaginary extension of the sideline with either
foot; or
d. Touch the imaginary extension of the centre mark with either foot.
If the server breaks this rule it is a Foot Fault.
Okay, so the cheater is now suggesting that someone that is playing by the rules is somehow doing it out of gamesmanship? So, let me see...I'm going to hook calls and if the other person objects, it's the victim's attempt at gamesmanship?
Maybe it would help if you let us know what country you are located, because obviously you are playing by different rules. Also judging by your interest in Nicki Minaj, I'm going to assume you are a petulant teenager that knows it all and are incapable of acknowledging [foot] fault?

Hair Loss Health Center
Hair Loss and Oral Contraceptives
In this article
Since approval by the FDA in 1960, oral contraception (the Pill) has become one of the most popular forms of birth control used today. Millions of women are prescribed the Pill each year in this country, but very few are aware that oral contraceptives are a common trigger of hair loss.
The Pill suppresses ovulation by the combined actions of the hormones estrogen and progestin, or in some cases progestin alone. Women who are predisposed to hormonal-related hair loss, or who are hypersensitive to the hormonal changes taking place in their bodies, can have hair loss to varying degrees while on the Pill or, more commonly, several weeks or months after stopping the Pill. (However, the Pill can be prescribed for androgenetic alopecia - female pattern baldness. See Treatments.)
Recommended Related to Hair Loss - Women
Tips to Care for Thinning Hair
People lose hair for various reasons. Illness and medication (like chemotherapy to treat cancer) can cause hair loss. Hair loss can also be inherited from a parent. Often, hair thins because it is fine-textured -- or because too many harsh chemicals have been used on it -- so it breaks easily. These are hair care tips to help protect hair, prevent further hair loss, and add volume to your existing hair. What Your Hair Says About Your Health
Read the Tips to Care for Thinning Hair article > >
The American Hair Loss Association (ALHA) recognizes that for the most part oral contraceptives are a safe and effective form of birth control. It also recognizes that the Pill has been clinically proven to have other health benefits for some women who use them. However, the AHLA believes that it is imperative for all women -- especially for those who have a history of hair loss in their family -- to be aware of the potentially devastating effects birth control pills can have on normal hair growth.
The AHLA recommends that all women interested in using oral contraceptives for the prevention of conception should only use low-androgen index birth control pills. Pills with the least androgenic activity include norgestimate (in Ortho-Cyclen, Ortho Tri-Cyclen), norethindrone (in Ovcon 35), desogestrel (in Mircette), or ethynodiol diacetate (in Demulen, Zovia). If there is a strong predisposition for genetic hair loss in your family, the AHLA recommends the use of another non-hormonal form of birth control. Each woman should decide based on her own needs in consultation with her own doctor.
The hormonal contraceptives listed below have a significant potential for causing or exacerbating hair loss. Note that any medication or therapy that alters a woman's hormones -- including, but not limited to, contraceptives -- can trigger hair loss.
Progestin implants, such as Norplant, are small rods implanted surgically beneath the skin, usually on the upper arm. The rods release a continuous dose of progestin to prevent ovulation.
Hormone injections of progestin, such as Depo-Provera, are given into the muscles of the upper arm or buttocks. This injection prevents ovulation.
The skin patch (Ortho Evra) is placed on your shoulder, buttocks, or other location. It continually releases progestin and estrogen.
The vaginal ring (NuvaRing) is a flexible ring about 2 inches in diameter inserted into the vagina. It releases progestin and estrogen.

Camp ClapHans Soft Launch
While there's still a ways to go on this one (mainly content), we're proud to announce that the redesign for the Camp ClapHans website is officially online. It's always a blast when we get to let our imaginations run wild on a project (especially hiding little details for the kids to find), and it's even better when the work is for such an amazing organization!
My "Beansprout's" First Logos
If this seems to be a departure from our usual style, there's a good reason. This was done by our very youngest new logo designer, my 6-year-old son, Grant. It just about melted my heart when he came in with these last week ...
Snader Racing Website Redesign
Snader Racing's Austin Snader is an up-and-coming road race driver in Sealy, TX.

A day after India's new Prime Minister Narendra Modi held bilateral talks with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday, Islamabad on Wednesday said both the PMs recognised the need to turn a new leaf in the relations between the two South Asian neighbours.
Sartaj Aziz, the advisor to the Pakistan's Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs and National Security, told a press conference that since Modi and Sharif met during a ceremonial occasion, Kashmir was discussed, but it was not substantially on the agenda. Whenever Kashmir is discussed, the view of Hurriyat leaders has to be taken along, added Aziz.
Giving an insight into the meeting held between Modi and Sharif, Aziz said the Pakistani PM conveyed it to his Indian counterpart that the people and the government of Pakistan were committed to fighting terrorism.
Underlining that the outcome of the meeting was much better than expected, Aziz said Sharif invited Modi to Pakistan.
He added that Sharif told Modi that Lahore peace declaration, which was inked under the BJP government, is a good starting point.
Both the sides express mutual concern to convert confrontation into cooperation.
"Foreign secretaries of both sides (India and Pakistan) will meet to review and take forward bilateral agenda," added the Pakistan NSA.
On the issue of Mumbai attacks, Aziz said: "Let law take its course. India reiterated that the process should be expedited. Nothing new in this."
Modi had surprised everyone when he invited Sharif on the occasion of his oath-taking ceremony as India's PM. The Pakistani PM had eventually accepted the invitation and paid two-day visit to India with a delegation.

How Technology Will Alter the American EconomyEconomists and scientists agree: the world of innovation is going to change everything.
What's next for the American economy?
Well, that depends on whom you ask — and how far you believe technology can lead it forward. During a pair of lively discussions at this year's Aspen Ideas Festival, a series of experts on American economics and technology brought forward their thoughts on how we're doing — and where innovation can take the economy in the future.
Where we stand today
It's a simple question: Is America on the right track economically?
The answers, of course, aren't so simple.
According to Jason Furman, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and a former principal deputy director of the National Economic Council, the general trends are positive. "The most important ingredient in the economy is productivity," said Furman. "The combination of information technology and the way it has manifested itself in broadband, mobile computing, and cloud computing, our economy has really seemed to speed up."
"In terms of overall potential for the economy," said Furman, "it's gotten better over the past 20 years."
Tom Fanning, the Chairman, President and CEO of Southern Company, as well as a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's board of directors, presented a different opinion.
"Value is a function of risk and return," said Fanning. "When I look at the last few years of the economy, not only is it slow, it is riskier. The volatility is higher."
"What we've got to do is get to a sustainable economy that is regular," added Fanning.
How innovations will change everything
So, how can Americans attain a more sustainable economy?
The answer is, perhaps not surprisingly, through American ingenuity. Fanning, in particular, was bullish on the ways in which businesses can advance the overall economic strength of the country through technology.
"There's a lot of reasons why, from a geopolitical standpoint," said Fanning, "the United States should take and could take actions that could create a lot more certainty, and allow CEOs in the United States to take decisive action to grow the economy."
Advances in technology, in particular, have massive potential to shape the future of the economy, as well as how Americans build wealth. A 2011 report from the Brookings Institution estimated that each 10 percentage point increase in broadband Internet penetration adds 1.3 percent to a high income country's gross domestic product and 1.21 percent for low to middle-income nations.
Andrew McAfee, co-author of The Second Machine Age and Associate Director and Principal Research Scientist at MIT Sloan School of Management's Center for Digital Business, discussed how major investments in technology means big things for job prospects, wages, and well-being. "I think there is a lot of change coming to our economy," said McAfee, "in particular our employment situation."
The result of technological advancement, according to McAfee, is productive upheaval. Whether it be driverless cars, journalism created by machines via data sets or instant translation on a phone call, McAfee said American companies must evolve and embrace these newfound capabilities. In turn, this will foster amazing advances in productivity and drive the nation's economy.
"We should love technological progress," explained McAfee. "It's only going to become a bigger deal going forward."

I just spent the last ten hours watching every one of the extended edition Lord of the Rings movies back to back and realized that I don't like those movies as much as I remembered liking them. Maybe it was just the monotony of watching them for ten hours with no real breaks other then to go to the fridge to open a new can of pop or to open a new bag of chips, 7up pop and Old Dutch: Sour Cream & Onion flavored chips by the way, but by the end of it I couldn't wait for the movies to get over.
So it got me to wondering- has anyone else here done any marathon watching of a movie/TV series before? How long was it, and how did you feel about it by the time it was over? What's your personal best run at a marathon watching of a movie/TV series?
Right now I'm working on M*A*S*H and I'm almost done season 3. I got about half way through Xena and got distracted by my Star Trek run to keep watching it. I couldn't pull off doing both at the same time no matter how I tried.

BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- U.S. regulators have delayed by three months a decision on the approval of Vivus' obesity drug Qnexa. The new approval decision date has been moved to July 17 from April 17.
Vivus and the U.S Food and Drug Administration need the extra time to reach agreement on a risk management plan, or REMS, which will put in place safeguards and restrictions on the way the company can market and sell Qnexa.Does the extra time requested by FDA suggest the agency is leaning towards approving Qnexa? I've asked the top six contestants in TheStreet's 2012 FDA Drug Approval Contest to answer this very important question. These guys have racked up an impressive track record to date, so pay attention to what they say. For the record, none of the contest leaders correctly predicted the delay in the Qnexa decision, but then only 7 of the 60 contestants overall got this one right. However, the reasons for and against Qnexa approval still apply. @cbhwatch Contest record to date: 12-1 Hometown: New Braunfels, Tex. Age: 30 Occupation: Accountant, biotech investor for five years. The secret to your FDA drug approval picking success: Blogs/articles I read from people I follow on Twitter, reading Twitter comments, reading SEC filings, and most importantly -- luck. I travel a lot for work, so in the evenings I read just about anything relating to biotech. Your Vivus Qnexa prediction: Approval. Why? Best efficacy out of all three obesity drugs; positive Orexigen Therapeutics (OREX - Get Report) panel with lack of efficacy; and the REMS

State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki affirmed support for Libya's democratic transition and called for the seating of the new Council of Representatives as soon as possible. She also stressed the role of Libya's Constitution Drafting Assembly in building the new country and said its work should continue without interference or violence.

Major League Baseball said Wednesday it intends to eliminate home plate collisions by 2015 at the latest. Not everyone is pleased.
Pete Rose Slams MLB's Decision To Eliminate Home Plate Collisions
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, chairman of the rules committee, made the announcement Wednesday at the winter meetings. Player safety and concern over concussions were major factors in the decision.
Ichiro Joins Rare Company, Reaches Incredible Feat With 4,000th Hit
Suzuki's teammates streamed out of the dugout and surrounded him at first base, Curtis Granderson giving him the first hug. A grinning Suzuki then faced the cheering fans and bowed, doffing his helmet.
Pete Rose: I Should Have Picked Alcohol, Drugs Or Beating My Wife
"And to be honest with you, I picked the wrong vice," Rose said. "I should have picked alcohol. I should have picked drugs or I should have picked beating up my wife or girlfriend because if you do those three, you get a second chance."
Pete Rose On A-Rod, PED Bans: Admit It And Be Forgiven
Pete Rose admitted in 2004 to betting on baseball after nearly 15 years of denials. He says players wrapped up in scandal shouldn't follow his lead.
A-Rod's Rise And Fall Is Water-Cooler Discussion Across America
Monday's decision by baseball Commissioner Bud Selig will define A-Rod's career, overshadowing his 647 home runs.
A-Rod Awaits MLB's Verdict, Pete Rose Keeps Waiting For Second Chance
"It's like I'm Al Capone or something," Rose said. "But guys are starting to come back to my side now because they see what is happening in baseball. Guys are doing things that alter records and they get 65 games. I got 24 years."
Hartnett: A-Rod Could Have Been King, Instead Leaves Behind Shattered Legacy
No one is shedding a tear for A-Rod. Whether he misses 150 games or two seasons, engages himself in a long, bitter legal fight or finds himself with a Pete Rose-like lifetime ban, it doesn't matter. His reputation cannot be restored.
Keidel: We Shouldn't Be Angry About A-Rod's Money, But Rather His Lies
We aren't angry at A-Rod because he makes the most money, but because he told the most lies. His montage of malfeasance is galling even by our subterranean standards.
Keidel: Will The PED Era Ever End? Don't Count On It
Remember when BALCO fell like the Roman Empire? Somewhere in the ashes, we assumed that a fatal blow was struck against dopers and dealers. We thought that the eye of the steroid storm had drifted off to the sea of history. How's that going?

Latest Roald Amundsen Stories
Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen might have been the first person to reach the South Pole, but an international team of scientists has discovered that he was actually beaten to his destination – by industrial air pollution.
Thanks to Internet search giant Google's controversial Street View imaging system you can now take a virtual tour of the vast icy, desolate landscape right on your desktop.
Explorers, scientists, and the prime minister of Norway gathered at the South Pole Wednesday to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the date that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first man to ever lead a successful expedition to the Antarctic site.
January 17th marks the 99th anniversary of Robert Falcon Scott's bittersweet conquest of the South Pole.
A race to the South Pole has been something of a replay of the first historic one, with a Norwegian team defeating a British team. Rune Malterud and Stian Aker of Team Missing Link, both members of the Norwegian military, finished the race Wednesday, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Latest Roald Amundsen Reference Libraries
Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer that was known for his expeditions into polar regions. He is best known for his discovery of the South Pole, being the first recognized explorer to reach the North Pole, and being the first explorer to travel along the Northwest Passage. He was born to Jens Amundsen and Hanna Sahlqvist in July of 1872. His family owned and managed a number of ships, but his mother did not want him to join the family trade, encouraging him to become a doctor. Amundsen...
The Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is a U.S. research facility based at the South Pole, in Antarctica. It is the southernmost continually inhabited place on the planet. Its name honors Roald Amundsen who reached the South Pole in December 1911, and Robert F. Scott who reached the South Pole in January 1912. The station was constructed in 1956 to support the International Geophysical Year in 1957. It has been continuously occupied since then. It currently lies within 330 feet of the...

Cam went overboard based on personal opinion. In my opinion.
To pretend that things weren't what they were in the past is ingnorant, to bury your head in the sand and make the claim that it cannot be talked about is just guilt.
Things were different, times change and if we can't talk about it where does it leave us? If we're too afraid or guilty to talk about our past - yes even that which is truly an embarassment - where does that leave our future?
Bottom line though, this is a private forum owned by a person or company which we do not pay to utilize so if the owning party says no to this then no it is. I do not believe that it is Cam's decision to make even though he obviously has the power to lock a thread. I may be wrong though as I do not truly know how it works behind the curtain.

Discontinued Drugs in 2005 - Featured Series of Reports From Expert Opinion.
Dr Keith Suckling (formerly GlaxoSmithKline, UK) provides his expert opinion on cardiovascular drugs that were dropped from clinical development in 2005; and Professor Lloyd Kelland (Head of Biology, Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research, University College London) discusses the 20 drugs discontinued in 2005 in the field of oncology.
These will be followed in later issues by papers on pulmonary, dermatological, gastrointestinal and arthritis drugs by Professor Kenneth KC Lee (The Chinese University of Hong Kong); drugs for disorders of the central nervous system by Professor Robert Kerwin (Professor of Clinical Neuropharmacology, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London); anti-infectives by Dr Nafsika Georgopapadakou (MethylGene); and renal, endocrine and metabolic drugs by Dr Jerry Colca (Kalamazoo Metabolic Research).
The series of papers is introduced by an editorial, featured in the November issue, by Dr Louis A Tartaglia (Senior Vice President and General Manager, Drug Repositioning and Selection, Gene Logic) on the value of drug repositioning.
Data from the Pharmaprojects drug R&D pipeline database estimates around 100 compounds are discontinued every year, at an enormous cost to the pharmaceutical industry. There is clearly a need to identify the reasons for these failures and develop better and more efficient methods to avoid such losses in future.
TARTAGLIA LA: Complementary new approaches enable repositioning of failed drug candidates. Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs (2006) 15(11):1295-1298 doi:10.1517/135437126.96.36.1995 http://www.expertopin.com/doi/abs/10.1517/135437126.96.36.1995

For me, this generation holds more hope than any previous generation I could name, including my own.
The Sochi Olympic Games were supposed to mark the pinnacle of Putin power and prestige, but instead it may mark the moment of his undoing.
Halfway through the tantalizingly trashy trailer for what looks like a painfully literal movie called Son of God, the eight-year-old boy inside me gave a whoop of hopeful pleasure.
Like so many other aspects of his story, the nature of the castaway's faith remains cloaked in mystery.
Tradition is of great significance to Catholics. But what is meant by "Tradition" in a Church that is now 2000-years-old? When we speak of Tradition, we must speak of historical process.
For Augustine, the true significance of marriage was not procreation, but the enduring friendship of two human beings who are innately social creatures.
Avoiding the "F" word wasn't a conscious decision on my part. Rather, I accepted the game that was in place. I sized things up from the standpoint of what I needed to do to succeed. I learned the rules and played as well as I could. That all changed on December 5, 2000.
This week, I've really been thinking about things. So I grabbed my computer and I wrote my very first letter... to God.
