has anyone heard of this RPG? Suikoden is an old-school RPG involving collecting 108 Stars of Destiny to join your revolution and rewrite history. It's a brilliant series with great storyline, interesting characters (and cute!) and fun gameplay! sure, the graphics is nothing to die for, but trust me, you're usually engrossed with the story to notice much. plus, you can play this game at a leisurely pace and enjoy the mini-games!
as you can see, i'm a hard-core Suikoden fan hoping to preach my fave RPG here the latest one is out, part V, and if any of you is disappointed with part III or IV, fear not, for part V is great and worth every penny!
the story's placed in the Queendom of Falena (female dominatrix XD) and you're playing the Prince. Your mum is a great and just ruler...or so you rhough. The clogs of destiny has once again begun to move, but who knows, you might be able to change fate.
alright, so that was a sucky summary, but check out all the gamesites out there and this game got great reviews. i've played all the games from I to IV and greatly looking forward to V! so are you going to try it?
Seems to be interesting. I might give it a try. Can u elaborate more about the storyline?
the Suikoden series is set in a fantasy medieval-like world and each game explores a different section of the world. in this fifth saga, we go towards the East side: Queendom of Falena, where the ruler will always be female and holds the Sun Rune. You play the current Queen's son aka the Prince, and your job is to quell the rebellion against your mum's reign.
I'm not going to spoil the game for you, but Suikoden's trait is to gather 108 Stars of Destiny (characters) in order to change history. This RPG has 3 fighting modes, party battle, war battle and dual fights. the usual spell-casting and world-exploring is there, along with mini-games at your headquarters. oh, and your HQ grows as you collect more Stars of Destiny. this version got great reviews and i'm going crazy waiting for my copy to come. apparently it's out of stock
is this the sort of game you like?
YES!! This is definitely the type that i like! Any more reccomendation? I love it when u can use more than 3-5 permanant character. I like it more like this and chrono cross. Does it have romance in genso suikoden though?
romance? it's very subtle and it doesn't usually involve the main character though. i mean, a few from the 108 stars will definitely have a romantic story or 2 neh? you can usually choose from 50+ people out of the 108, as the others will be support or shopkeepers in your headquarters.
i also recommend Tales of Legendia and Star Ocean III if you love RPGs.
Of course, I love rpgs. Thats the only ps games I play other than puzzles and racing. Then whats the diff between genso suikoden 1 - 5? Same storyline diff chars? What is Tales of Legendia and Star Ocean III about?
each suikoden has the same basics (that is to collect all 108 Stars) and although set in the same world, the timeline and area is different. the main characters are all different, but if you played I first, you can get him as a member in II. the best thing about Suikoden is the story, character depth and the achievement you feel after getting all 108 Stars. you usually get the best ending if you get them all. i recommend playing I, II, III and V. for more info, go to http://www.suikosource.com/games/
Tales of Legendia is the latest PS2 release of the Tales series. I've played Tales of Destiny and Eternia and they're sweet! it involves real-time battle system on a platform and has cute SD characters. the 3D graphics is awesome and surprisingly, the voice acting is good. Star Ocean III is also real-time fighting, but it's a more serious game. good voice acting and quality graphics too, and there's this cool sidequest of inventing items that will take hours of your life away.
Real time fighting is? Which suikoden u feel is the best. Though my bro have only II , Vand tactics. i think. Well only some but not the 1st one. Anyways, thx for the recommendation. I've been searching for new rpgs game this few days but been having a hard time. Thx for the link too.
real-time fighting means you fight like an adventure game, not turn-based as with many RPGs. your brother has 2 and 5 only? well, try them out first and if you like them, get the whole series
there are a few more good recent RPGs like Wild Arms Alter Code F, Grandia III, Dragonquest VIII and Kingdom Hearts 2. if you're into strategy-RPG, try Disgaea.
Ah. Ic. I dont like real time. I like turn based more. That way my heart stays safe. Not from shock like the time i play resident evil >.< Omg.. How did it went so far. The typo. I meant that my bro have Genso Suikoden III, IV and Tactics. I've played wild arms before. Wild arm 1 is the best of all the series. 2nd one is ok but it becomes abit boring in the middle. 3 sucks. 4 haven't tried it yet. Played abit of alter code F and i am abit dissapointed in the appearance. The opening of wild arm 1 is much better than alter code F. The art as well. Its like alter code F is more to anime-like. And honestly i dislike it. And the handleling is abit hard. Maybe coz of my joystick. Hmm, all u mention here except for kingdom heart 2 is in my bro's posession. Are all of them real time fighting or turn based?
oh don't worry. RPG's real-time is not like resident evil. it's similar to fighting games actually, and the game will still pause when you're going through the inventory. turn-based RPGs would be Suikoden, Wild Arms...not sure about Grandia. all strategy games are turn-based too. why don't you try them out to see if you like the feel of it? i'm currently playing Legendia and Radiata Stories now, and i think i'll abandon Radiata since Legendia is really fun!
Have i ever told u i love u lele? Well, if i haven't, i do. I love suikoden III. Checked it out last night and played it abit. Ohhh The opening makes my heart thump so hard. And i had this increadible feeling when i listen to the opening song. It match perfectly with the amv and the storyline >.< Can't wait to play it. Im bought suikoden II and playing it atm. My bro said Suikoden II is the most interesting of all. Not sure about that yet. By legendia u mean tales of legendia?
hahaha cool! i'm glad you like suikoden and yes, suikoden II is the best game of the series, though i haven't played 5 yet. you may find the 2D graphics kiddy, but it's old and the fact that they can put in so much detail with 2D is awesome! III is fun, and a lot of new suikoden players love that more than II, but i find there's a lack of depth due to the multiple POV. well, play it out first and find out which you like best. let me know if you want to join a suikoden forum. i'll intro you mine and you can join in the empire i'm in
yes, legendia is tales of legendia. a new tales is coming out: tales of the abyss. can't wait >_<
Yea but i still have to complain they dont let us name the characters... (my fav part of every rpg games) >.>; I dont mind the 2d kiddy graphic. Its decent enough. Its also very comical. III, im really intrigue by the opening. Especially the blond lady with a wand? doing the spell and behind her came this mask guy who is very pottential to be kakkoi handsome guys <fan of romance> ~.~ U know its a coincidence. 2 days ago my bro came home from U bringing kingdom hearts 2 and suikoden V. But Suikoden V is busted for some reason so we had to buy a new one. So we went to a game shop yesterday. And i found tales of legendia. I remembered u saying something about it, so i ask my bro to buy it along with the new (working) suikoden V. Both in English and has np. Then i check the ps games. Looking for something for me to play in my pc since he is hogging the ps2 and i found the last cd of suikoden II in the store. Ps games are really hard to find nowadays. Which is very lucky and coincidental. xD Oh, i got a question for u. What the function of vase and books?
woah u found suikoden 2?? ur really really lucky man! they're sold for 100 bucks online now since they're pretty rare! have fun with legendia! ah well, you don't really get to play the kakkoi guy and the blond girl unless you get all 108 stars of destiny. go to gamefaqs.com for the guides.
you get to name the main character in II and V i think. but naming all 108? i don't think that's necessary neh? in II, vases are just for show. bring them to the bathhouse and decorate the place. you can put the peeing boy in the bathhouse too. books are just for more story info, no big deal. all RPGs have to have a collection of some sort

GTA: Saudia Arabia Stories is the first and only game in the series with a protagonist/playable character with no intention of harming others. It was released by Rockstar in 2035, as the 46th game in the
series. Rockstar had released it in desperation for money as none of the games were selling, likely because each time somebody beat a GTA game, approximately 2.56 new games would be released. The
game was playable on several platforms and was the only game to give no information about the protagonist except his religion. PC, Hologame 2000, Xbox 3456, PS9, iCouch, iTV, iplaygame, and iPad
v. 75.68.901, would all be platforms for which the game was playable. It was delayed nine times because Rockstar workers were "intoxicated and so their plot was........not perfect, to say the least." It will
feature a camel and car system, and the player can "jack" both of these. However, the button used will make your character ask for a ride on the camel or car, and even pay. To hail a car/camel or taxi/yellow
camel, there will be a different button. Your character can wield weapons, but not use them, or punch. In-game features include getting a job and eating to refill "that tiny oval in the top-right corner of the
screen; health bar, was it? I forget." -Rockstar worker
"You didn't forget, you're too drunk off your ass!" -said worker's drunk friend, three minutes before he was charged with lewd conduct
"YOU'RE an ass!" -If you don't get it by now, screw you.
The graphics are beautiful, but who looks for games based on their graphics? For the hologame, a player may choose to
Well, that's just it. Rockstar has no more information on it. I wonder why.

Citi Wary Of NPV Valuation, Bearish On South African Miners, Even As It Upgrades Gold Forecast
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Citi upgraded their gold price forecast to $1405/ounce in 2013, $1250 in 2014, $1350 in 2015, and $1370 in 2016.
But the broker is still negative on South African gold miners because of weak balance sheets and negative cash flows.
Here is what analysts Johann Steyn and Craig Irwin wrote about AngloGold Ashanti (AU), which they maintain a Sell rating on:
We think ANG is badly positioned given 1) a weak balance sheet, 2) high capex commitments, and 3) the failure to dispose of high-cost, non core assets during the past 3-years' heyday.
On Harmony Gold Mining (HMY) (another Sell):
As the highest cost producer, HAR would not only have FCF problems, but its much talked about Wafi/golpu (W/G) project is unfeasible in our view. In fact, we already estimated this project to have a negative NPV of USD595m in our 30 August 2012 note "Wafi/Golpu: Not the Darling It Use To Be", when our average gold price assumptions were ~30% above current spot. As a result, we had to revert to an EV/reserve multiple valuation method at that stage in order to have a positive value on this project. One may now argue that any multiple might be too high a value at the current spot gold price. Yet, W/G still forms 63% of our HAR valuation.
The analysts have the most positive outlook on Gold Fields (GFI), which is only a Neutral:
Even though we view GFI's recent acquisitions in Australia as value destroying ("Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush – Downgrade to Sell"), we believe its recent restructuring and improved guidance make it best positioned in the current environment.
The analysts also have a few interesting comments on the NPV valuation methodology, which they think is deeply flawed:
NPV calculations are normally based on assumptions of rising production, stabilizing unit costs and falling capex. These are based mostly on company guidance and go strongly against historical trends.

\nHannah got a book deal! Well, an e-book deal. Still, that's nothing to sneeze at. (Barf at? Yes. Sneeze at? No.) I like how she at least has the modesty to hold the back of her dress down while she's puking near a bunch of al fresco diners. She's really growing as a person.
But, praise Lena, we won't be denied an ass shot for long—except this time it's Booth Jonathan's. Is this like an FCC equal time rule or something? Last week, we clocked 24 solid minutes of Hannah's naked body, so this week we're legally obligated to get the equivalent in Booth's pasty butt cheeks.
The body origami that Jorma Taccone does to keep "lil' Jorma" from making an appearance is impressive and terrifying. I heard the Olympics got rid of wrestling last week; maybe that'll open up a spot for competitive wiener obstruction, because this guy is a gold medalist. (I was in a band called Competitive Wiener Obstruction once. They kicked me out and changed their name to Train.)
Meanwhile, Marnie (our girl Allison Williams), the hottest character on the show, casually wraps herself in a queen-size duvet cover and slips into the bathroom, revealing nothing. Seems a little less than intimate, but, you know, I'm modest, too. After my wife and I are done with our romantic time, it's right back on with my snow pants.
Back to Marnie. I'm just going to dole out some brutally honest tough love: You're tragic. Return that Judy Jetson dress and use the money to buy a clue. Jessa, you're the worst. I recommend longer and deeper naps in the tub. Adam, baking soda won't heal dog bites. At least I don't think it will. Might Wikipedia that one later, just in case. Booth, the way you treat Marnie is deplorable, but your wine-breaking temper tantrum is the real sin. Respect the vino, man. I broke off a cork in a bottle of Turning Leaf last week and almost cried.
But real men cry. Sometimes while getting real with a muzzled Border Collie mix on Staten Island. Poor, poor pitiful Ray. Which brings me to the fact that Ray and Adam's field trip to Staten Island is amazing. How did it take us this long to get such exquisite interaction from these two? Aggression meets aggression—anger squared! Girls struck gold here. How soon can we spin this off? Let's have Ray move into Adam's workshop apartment (he's homeless anyway), let them keep the dog, and give them a lecherous neighbor like Larry from Three's Company to pop by for occasional comic relief. Call me, HBO.

new running form, mile PR and categorical goals
I have a very tight medial hamstring in my right leg, causing so much pain in my knee that I can barely walk. But when I run, I can't feel it at all.
My plan was to run 6 x 1 mile intervals like usual. During my first interval, something strange happened. I started using my arms to help me along. It just came naturually. And I felt more like a running machine than my usual awkward self. A 6:30 pace with arm pumping became easier and more efficient than my 6:45 pace without. To make a long story short, in the 3rd mile everything came together and I ran a mile PR of 6:21 (!). I have run miles faster in races, but I have never officially timed them. So this is my PR by default. My next mile was in 6:48, so I didn't completely ruin my chance at running the rest. But by that time, my knee was hurting, so I had to stop the intervals.
A mile in 6:21 doesn't sound that fast. (and a lot of you probably hate me for writing that, but when I have run a 5k in 19:20, it's not that fast). BUT in the fall, I could not get myself to run ONE mile interval in less than 7 minutes in practice, let alone many in a row.
But what am I training for? This question was posed to me by my running friend, Mette, who just amazingly ran a 10k PR in 38:50. Well, there is the easy answer: I am training for the 15k on Saturday, the 80k Hells Hills in Texas and The Copenhagen Marathon at the end of May. But then there is the real answer: I am training to just be BETTER.
Here are my physical categorical goals:
Running: faster at all distances (except less than 1 mile... I've given up on that)
Swimming: Go for a 30 lap PR once a week (I tought myself to swim now 5 years ago and since we have lived in Denmark, I have gone from a fastest time of 45 minutes to 37 minutes (two days ago)... I alternate using that between-the-legs floaty thing and not to strengthen my arms)
Biking: Become less afraid of dying. Be able to ride an Ironman distance.
Looks/weight: more lean, stronger abs, no pimples, more tan :)
The one immediate numerical goal I have is to run the 15k in less than 63 minutes.
I guess I could talk about emotional and mental/metal goals, but you would all fall asleep (if you haven't already).
Running song of the day: Tik Tok by Ke$ha (sorry, it's intervals, I just need something fast)

So much fun to set goals - even funner to meet them. Out of curiosity, how did you come up with a goal time of 63? is it based somehow on your average interval time when doing miles?
Congrats on your mile PB! Even more impressive that it was done in the middle of a work-out.

I think goals are important. I train to revive some of the speed I used to have, to complete new trail races I haven't explored, to fulfill all the hopes of others (it weighing a bit on me, but I am using it to my benefits when lazy), to look good in any clothes, to be sexy when I am 60, to not have to deal with gut falling out and legs extending beyond imagination, to be able to backpack and hike a lot even when I can't run races anymore, and to connect with those special crazy people I wouldn't have been able to otherwise.

Congrats! Keep up good work but be careful and do not injure yourself. Hope your hamstring/knee feels better. I think that I should set some goals for myself because I have been running, but without a real plans for races or anything and it is always better to have some goals. So I am going to plan my next race and set a goal!

I suppose a 6:21 doesn't sound that fast compared to, oh I don't know, an elite runner getting paid to run day in and day out, but I think your time sounds fantastic. Congrats on your mile PR!
Do you have enough sun in Denmark to get a tan? I think the winter whiteness of my stomach would blind someone right now if they caught a glimpse of it. :)
Good luck at your race on Saturday!

I, for one, am curious about your emotional goals. :)

Piccola!, Leslie :)... I figure 1st 5k in 20, 2nd in 21, 3rd in just under 22.
Olga, I totally agree with your goal of being active when older. SR and I often say that stiffness is a terrible disease of aging. It is so so so important to stay active just to prevent the consequences of not doing it.
Awesome mmmonyka! I am excited to see what the race will be...
Diana, I also like completely unattainable goals, like getting tan in Denmark. Oh, but wait!, I'm going to Texas! Are you feeling similarly defficient in Vit D there in Holland?
Jrahn, I just heard an interview with Peter Belli (a Danish musician and actor) who said the reason he has been so ihappily married for the past 40 years is every day he finds something he loves about his wife, June, and every day touches her in a loving way. Well, that is a goal I have for my marriage with SR. And yes, it is also good to write down goals like that!

Nice job on the mile repeats - everytime I read your training I think I need to start speed work... but my excuse is the weather (forgetting that I have a treadmill in my basement)...
I agree on the running reasons - one of my fav quotes:
"I run to exceed my perceived limits, to do better than I think I can." Eric Clifton

From a basic research standpoint, lentiviral vectors are very intriguing substrates. On the one hand, the HIV-1 genome offers expanded cloning capacity and the capability to transduce nondividing cells such as hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and neurons. However, concerns associated with the potential risk of generating replication competent lentiviral particles require the removal of significant portions of the HIV genome, most notably the envelope protein (env). In their work published as the feature article in the October issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, Bell et. al show that envelope proteins derived from the endogenous feline virus RD114 provide a versatile and effective method to pseudotype lentiviral vectors. The work was carried out by Anthony Bell; working together with David Fegen, Maureen Ward and Arthur Bank at Columbia University Medical School.
Dr. Bell stated, "The majority of lentiviral vectors are pseudotyped or packaged with the envelope from the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G). VSV-G equips lentiviral vectors with a broad host cell tropism and increased particle stability. Increased particle stability enables viral supernatants to be concentrated via high-speed centrifugation to enhance their infectivity. VSV-G is cytotoxic, however, a feature that essentially prohibits the constitutive expression of lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with this envelope. Therefore, nontoxic viral envelopes such as RD114 are being investigated. RD114 is a particularly attractive alternative because this envelope also provides increased particle stability and its receptor is widely expressed on HSCs. Hence, RD114 could prove to be an essential component of therapeutic lentiviral vector systems.
Together, the research team compared the packaging efficiency of three envelopes: VSV-G, RD114 and RDpro with two lentiviral vectors. RDpro is an RD114-HIV chimera designed to pseudotype lentiviral vectors with higher efficiency. In the transient expression format, as expected VSV-G, provided the higher relative titer values. The nontoxic nature of the RD114, however, enabled typical transfection reactions to be extended from 48 to 96 hours. VSV-G transfections are generally limited to 48 hours. Hence, RD114 envelopes offer an effective means to increase the total viral yield of lentiviral supernatants vs. VSV-G. The versatility of RD114 proteins was exploited further to generate a "mixed" lentiviral expression system. This expression system is composed of stably expressed RD114 proteins that pseudotype lentiviral vectors generated in trans.
Dr. Bell said, "We are very excited about the data received in the mixed expression format. We were also pleasantly surprised that the native RD114 envelope outperformed the chimeric envelope, RDpro. In regard to gene therapy, we show that RDpro supernatants effectively transduce peripheral blood HSCs. We believe that this level of transduction can be enhanced further upon optimization of the concentration protocol."
Dr. Steven R. Goodman, Editor-in-Chief of Experimental Biology and Medicine said "This exciting study by Anthony Bell and colleagues demonstrates the value of using nontoxic envelope proteins as a viable alternative to pseudotype lentiviral vectors. This has great potential for future gene therapeutic approaches".

This desk review examines the human rights situation for sexual minorities in six countries in insular Southeast Asia, namely Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Timor-Leste. It considers domestic laws and practices, as well as the international human rights instruments and obligations that each country is signatory. It concludes with recommendations to improve the rights framework in the sub-region so that HIV prevention and health programmes can be more accessible and responsive to the needs of sexual minorities.

A 15-tonne ball of congealed fat -- dubbed Britain's biggest ever "fatberg" -- has been dredged up from a London sewer, utility company Thames Water said Tuesday.
It took 10 days to remove the double-decker bus-sized lump of festering food fat mixed with sanitary wipes which formed in drains under a major road in Kingston, southwest London.
The colossal "fatberg" was discovered when local residents in the well-to-do suburb complained that their toilets would not flush.
Had it not been removed, the blockage could have led to raw sewage flooding homes, streets and businesses, Thames Water said.
"While we've removed greater volumes of fat from under central London in the past, we've never seen a single, congealed lump of lard this big clogging our sewers before," Gordon Hailwood, waste contracts supervisor for the company, said in a statement.
"Given we've got the biggest sewers and this is the biggest 'fatberg' we've encountered, we reckon it has to be the biggest such berg in British history.
"The sewer was almost completely clogged with over 15 tonnes of fat. If we hadn't discovered it in time, raw sewage could have started spurting out of manholes across the whole of Kingston.
"It was so big it damaged the sewer and repairs will take up to six weeks."
Images from inside the sewer showed that the rotting mound of fat had reduced the 70 by 48-centimetre (27-inch by 19-inch) drain to five percent of its normal capacity.
While the risk of stomach-churning sewage belching up through people's toilets might have been averted, Londoners could soon be washing with it anyway.
CountyClean Environmental Services, the waste management company that removed the deposit, said it would go to good use.
"We recycle everything that we remove -- the water is extracted and the remaining fats and oils are turned into products like soap, biodiesel and fuel," a CountyClean spokesman told AFP.

The last thing the private equity industry needs is another scandal. Former Bain exec Mitt Romney's presidential run is thrusting the whole industry into the limelight, and as we speak several firms are being probed by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
That said: Here's the new scandal people are paying attention to...
Peter Lattman and Eric Lichtbau of the New York Times report that Court documents reveal that private equity firms, including Bain Capital, may have colluded to suppress the prices of companies they intended to buy.
That could be improper bid-rigging.
This information was included in a lawsuit brought by shareholders in Boston. They say this manipulation of price cost them billions in the sale of around two dozen companies including Neiman Marcus, Toys R' Us and Lowes and AMC movie chains and more from 2003 to 2007. Note that these deals came out after Romney left the, but in the world of politics, the ongoing drip of negative news about Bain doesn't help.
It's a class action suit.
The case centers on the "club deals" that became popular during the leveraged buyout boom of 2003 to 2007, a period that the complaint calls the "Conspiratorial Era." It claims there was a complex web of collusive arrangements involving 11 of the world's largest buyout firms on 19 deals.
In the buyout of HCA, for instance, Bain, K.K.R. and Merrill Lynch bought the company in 2006 for $32.1 billion, then a record. Documents produced by the defendants and filed this week showed e-mails and meetings indicating that other equity firms had agreed to "stand down" and avoid bidding with the understanding that they would be brought into future deals.
E-mails cited in the lawsuit indicate that another private equity firm, TPG, said it had discussed the HCA acquisition with executives for Bain and K.K.R. and had decided not to bid on the company because "our relationship with them, K.K.R. and Bain, was more important."
Lawyers for Bain say that this is just an attempt to hurt Mitt Romney's campaign. Romney's campaign says all of this happened long after he left Bain anyway.
Either way, according to the NYT, prosecutors say that there are more embarrassing e-mails to come. That should be interesting.

(CBS News) Wal-Mart is making a big promise to veterans. America's largest private employer is offering a job to any recent military vet who wants one. The plan targets a large group of people that are looking for work.
Wal-Mart's five year plan promises a job to any veteran who has been honorably discharged from active duty within the past 12 months. In doing so, it would double that number of veterans working in its stores and offices, from 100,000 to 200,000 veterans.
Wal-Mart pledges to hire 100,000 plus veterans
Wal-Mart chief executive officer Bill Simon unveiled the plan Tuesday in New York. He said at the time, "Not every returning veteran wants to work in retail. But every veteran who does, will have a place to go."
Janise Hooper is an Air Force veteran looking for part-time work as she studies to be a nurse. She said of Wal-Mart's action, "That's a lot of people to hire. I hope they stick to it because I know there are a lot of unemployed vets that can really use the help."
There are more veterans out of work than in the general population: the unemployment rate for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan is 10.8 percent, a full three percent higher than the national rate of 7.8 percent.
Jeffrey McZeal, a veteran who's been out of work for six months, said he hopes Wal-Mart's plan will inspire others. McZeal said, "I thought that was a great thing, I mean I don't hear any other companies making that type of commitment. So, with Wal-Mart doing it, Wal-Mart being kind of big, everybody knows of Wal-Mart, it's a household name, hopefully some others will follow just the same."
Because he was discharged in 2001, he would not be eligible for Wal-Mart's new hiring plan. "I wish this could have been done a long time ago," he said. "But better now than never."
Wal-Mart also announced a $50 billion "Buy American" program the company says is part of its effort to stimulate the U.S. economy. The plan comes at a time when the retail giant has been the target of workers who want higher salaries and more opportunities for full-time work. The company's offer to hire veterans that apply will begin on Memorial Day.

Alfred Fontville de Breanski was born into a family of painters.
Not only was his father the highly regarded Victorian landscape
painter, Alfred de Bréanski, Sr., but his mother was the Welsh
painter, Annie Roberts. In addition, his uncle Gustave de Bréanski was
a noted seascape painter, and his aunt Julie had also trained as an
artist. Working as a painter, then, was something of a family
business. Born in London in 1877, the young de Breanski was the oldest
son in a family of seven children. Naturally, he began to study art
early in life, training with his father and uncle along with his
younger brother, Arthur. He then enrolled at St. Martins School of Art,

my first cutting
She didn't seem to notice me. I was talking to my friend Tricia, who had been showing me some of her new whips. The whips were on the counter, and this American lady was very interested, she even asked if she could buy one. The whips were made by the whipmaker residing at Club Doma, the place we were having a women's playparty that night. Tricia works at the club as a professional submissive, I found out about the party through Tania who was organizing the party and I was kind of surprised to find Tricia there. The American woman was a butch, she seemed to be a dominant, and she was there alone. But she wouldn't pay attention to me as she was talking to Tricia while I tried to get her attention.
So I turned to Tricia again, and I heard the American woman talk to someone, about whips, and about other toys... when the Dutch woman showed her knife.
"I've never actually used it, it's a surgical knife that I can take with me" while she showed she could take the knife apart and a blade came out.
"You have done cutting?"
"No, never done it, I'd love to, but I haven't found someone to cut, as yet"
I forgot about Tricia who was talking about the video they just made, she was very proud of her pic on the cover...
"Really? There must be women who like that, you just have to find them"
"I know, never found one though" and she walked away to pick up her drink from a table at the other end of the room. I smiled at the American lady.
"Do you have a lot of experience in cutting?" I asked naively. She grinned. I enjoyed she did pay attention to me now.
"You bet I have."
"I've never been cut, but I'd certainly like that."
The Dutch girl got her drink and joined us.
"Hey, it's not that difficult, I found you a woman to practice on" nodding at me.
"You mean you want to be cut?"
"Yes, as I told her, I've never done that but I'd like it very much."
Turning to the American "did you bring any gear?"
"Sure, I always bring knives and stuff to parties. You never know you know."
I couldn't believe to hear myself say "why don't you show her, you can make a cutting on me"
You know, I went to this party alone, my gf isn't into bdsm that much, she wouldn't come. I know she doesn't mind me having marks and stripes, she'd even expect me to have some marks. I don't have a playpartner at the moment, in fact I hadn't been going to parties at all for the last half a year since I met MJ. Somehow having her has been quite enough. What would she say if she saw the cutting marks? I decided I did want to find out. She wouldn't mind.
"You have in mind a particular design?"
"Uhm, no, you're the artist, is there anything you're particularly good at?"
"I like a spiders web. I also like feathers very much."
"Then I'll have a spiders web, I like to have something that's connected to you personally"
"How big should it be?"
"Uhm, dunno. How big can you make it?"
She grins. "any size you like. Where will you have it?"
"any place you favour? I don't know anything about cutting, I don't know where you can cut"
"The back is most appropriate for a first cutting. How about this big?" indicating four inches.
"Sure, that's good. Any bigger would scare off my gf."
I lay down on a bench, my head on the edge, my arms hanging down, my hands touching the floor. She opens a plastic box which contains little bottles, latex gloves, and a lot of other stuff. She picks up a handle and opens a little packages. In it is a surgical blade, ready to connect to the handle. Tricia is in charge of the music, I had asked her for Deep Forest. I like Deep Forest since Raelyn played Bohemia while she pierced my labia. The paper towel feels cold as my back is rubbed with a fluid.
"are you comfortable?"
I smile at her. I couldn't be more comfortable.
"If there's anything, just say so. We want you to be comfortable".
How nice she is to me, where only less than an hour ago she completely ignored me. She talks about her wife, and about kids, and about a lot of things I don't hear. D is paying attention to everything she does.
"I clean up the area with a soapy solution, then I take away the soap with alcohol"
D is very curious, as we both know chances are she'll be the next person to cut me. It's strange, two hours ago I didn't know D, nor the American woman, and now they're about to cut my back.
"are you comfortable? Is it ok if this girl strokes you while I cut?" pointing at a woman behind me, I can't see her. I smile. Anything, I'll do anything for a new experience.
"Now relax, just lie down, you'll be all right, I won't cut deep at all"
I sigh. I relax. And I feel the tip of the blade touch my shoulder. It doesn't hurt. I hardly feel the blade as it goes through my skin. I feel her fingers widen the cut she probably made. I feel a paper towel on my skin, apparenly she removes some blood. I'm being cut!
The second cut I can feel, like the third and the fourth. I stop counting. I lay down and relax. I feel the blade go through my skin in a very long cut and I take a deep breath.
"Good girl, breath with the cut. Here's a long one, are you ok? Just relax"
I smile at her. I couldn't feel better. Soon after the first cut I feel the endorphins rush my body and my head. The effect is much stronger than from a whipping or even a proper caning. I fly away.........
"Here we go" and I take a deep breath again. The cut takes longer than I can keep taking a breath. I feel her strong fingers pull the edges of the cut. Later, I'll find out that she does that to make the blood come out a little, so creating a red stripe as if the line was made by a pen and red ink. It sure looks like red ink. Then, she makes a series of quick short cuts. I can't figure why a spiders web would need a series of short cuts. How could I have known she'd make a couple of feathers hanging down from the web?
"Here's another long cut, just relax and take a deep breath" Somehow, the cuts get more painful. I have a lot of experience with whips and canes, this is different. A cane hurts most at it's first few strikes. Then, even if the strikes are harder, when the endorphins come I don't feel the pain any more. Now, this cutting does hurt even with the endorphins rushing my body. What surprises me is that while the first cutting, I could hardly feel, now I do feel the pain. The long cuts do hurt a lot. I groan. I feel a tiny tear come up in my eye, but although I don't mind crying, my eyes stay dry.
D is almost speechless. I know she's watching carefully. Every once in a while the American woman talks to her, explaining what she's doing or giving advice on do's and don'ts.
"You don't want to push the knife. It cuts deep enough even without pressing. If you press, you'll cut right through to the bone" I feel hands stroking my back and my bare bottom. Small hands, they feel very soft. I fly, higher than I've ever done before, and believe me I've felt these endorphins before. Yes, I fly......
She can't take her eyes off my back. The girl who's been stroking me is a gorgeous dark haired Indonesian looking woman dressed in lack, she's very sexy. I turn around, to see a spiders web with three feathers hanging down, in bright red ink. Small drops are still coming out, just a few though. I turn to the one who did that to me and hug her.
"It's beautiful, thank you so much for doing that, I like it so much!" She smiles at me. I hug her again. I kiss her cheeks and turn to the mirror again. It's quite big, a three inch spiders web with four inch feathers hanging down. She couldn't resist to make those feathers. "Oh, thank you so much!"
More women come into the room, women who haven't dared to watch but who are very anxious to see the results. I show them. D is inspecting my back, admiring the details. I sure hope she has learned a lot, and also I hope she's impressed by my taking the cutting, I do want her to cut me some time, soon as she thinks she can do it. She smiles at me.
It's Wednesday now, four days after the party. Yesterday night, MJ assisted me in taking some pictures of my back. The cutting has healed pretty quickly, though I found some blood on the sheets on Monday morning. It's still very beautiful. MJ doesn't want it to be permanent, I know it won't be permanent, but still, I guess I wouldn't mind very much if some of it stayed visible for a long time. I'd want to have some sign reminding me of that remarkable lady who made such a fine work of art on my back.

My 4 Favorite Bronzers./
I think I use a bronzer almost everyday. When I go for an all out made up look or a natural one (which I do for school), I depend on a bronzer to bring a bit of color and glow to my face.
I am lucky enough to try so many bronzers and my friends are always asking me which ones work best. I figured I would tell them and you at the same time. Out of the ones I have tried, these are my 4 Favorite Bronzers that I keep on my makeup table.
Benefit Cosmetics Dallas - $28.00
This is a pretty golden rose shade of bronzer. I really like this one when I feel tired as it warms up my complexion, giving me a healthy glow. Sometimes I layer this one over one of the more brown based bronzers listed below.
Stila Sun Gel Bronzer - $24.00
This is my favorite gel bronzer that I sometimes use on more than just my cheeks! It is pretty to even dab on my eyes and lips for a really pretty golden glow. It lasts all day too, which I like.
COVERGIRL TRUblend Microminerals Bronzer -$11.00
I saw this one at CVS and just had to have it. I love how it is portable for when I think I might need a touch up on the go. I throw it in my back pack and sweep the bronzer with the brush over my cheeks, chin, forehead and tip of my nose. The bronzer and brush come in one sleek compartment making it simple and easy to use.
MAC Creme Bronzer from MAC To the Beach - $25.00
This one just came out and I took it from my Mom right away. It is a cream bronzer that is so easy to blend and it lasts all day. I use it alone on my cheeks or with Dallas (above) for a little extra shimmer. This creamy bronzer has 2 colors. I use Beach Bronze.
So, what's your favorite bronzer? Did yours make my favorites list? Do you prefer a powder, gel or creamy? I can't wait to hear. PLEASE leave me a comment about your favorite bronzer!!!

copyright, Philip-Lorca DiCorcia
These simple, yet highly-narrative, images from DiCorcia's "Heads" series were secretly taken on the streets of New York City with 1 light (which was attached to scaffolding and unbeknownst to the subjects).
Camera: Nikon F2 with 300mm lens and Kodak Portra 100 ASA film, set on a tripod across the street. Shot at 1/60, f22, ISO 100. The lens was stopped down to create a dark canvas for the characters to pop against.
Lighting: The hidden strobe is a Profoto Magnum reflector with 10 degree honeycomb grid at f22. It's positioned high and to camera left on temporary scaffolding with a super clamp. DiCorcia waits until a pedestrian walks by the marked spot, then takes their portrait.
Comments: Most of the New Yorkers in this series were such New Yorkers that they didn't really notice the blinding strobe flashing in their eyes and walked on without any comment. Except Erno Nussenzweig, who sued DiCorcia for $2 million before the case was finally dismissed.

Poorly explained, vague robot love at that. The best kind.
What we have here is Heart&Slash, a retro-ish 3D beat 'em up with roguelike elements. The developer wanted to combine the fast-paced combat of brawlers like Bayonetta with the huge number of customisation options seen in roguelike RPGs — basically, you're a robot, and as you beat up other robots, you get lotsa robot parts and weapons to have fun with. Observe: Story-wise, Heart&Slash is about finding love and fighting against oppression and conformity in a dystopian, machine-dominated sci-fi world. Or something along those lines. Really, it's a bit murky at this point. An interesting idea, nevertheless, on top of an already good-looking brawler.
Look for Heart&Slash to arrive on PC in December.

Carpetgrass is a creeping, warm season perennial grass that is native to the West Indies. Carpetgrass was introduced into the United States in the early 1800s and has become naturalized in the southeastern states, especially on poorly drained soils. Carpetgrass physically resembles centipede grass in terms of leaf density and shape.
Where to grow
Carpetgrass will grow in tropical and subtropical areas. It is best adapted to the coastal gulf states, including Florida, Louisiana, eastern Texas, Alabama, southern Georgia, South Carolina and coastal Virginia.
Carpetgrass grows on wet, low-pH soils where few other grasses persist, and has moderate shade tolerance. It is low growing and produces a dense turf with good color if moderate fertilization rates are applied. It is a low-maintenance grass that does not require excessive amounts of fertilizer. Carpetgrass also can be grown from seed.
Carpetgrass will not survive on very dry soils unless irrigated frequently. It has shallow roots that impart poor drought tolerance. During the summer, carpetgrass produces numerous tall, thin seedheads that require frequent mowing for removal. It has poor cold tolerance, turning brown with the first cold spell. It is also slow to green up in the spring. Carpetgrass has poor salt tolerance and a medium leaf texture. It is subject to insect, nematode, and disease problems. It does not grow well outside of acidic (pH: 5.0 to 5.5) soils. Carpetgrass is not recommended for a high-quality lawn; however, it can be used in wet, shady areas where ease of maintenance is more important than quality. Carpetgrass is not used for hay production.
Carpetgrass may be established from seeds or sprigs. Sod is not commonly available. Success with either propagation method is highly dependent on proper soil preparation. Germination of Carpetgrass will occur within 14-21 days if the conditions are all correct.
Carpetgrass thrives in wet soil and will require irrigation if grown on well-drained soils. Irrigating as needed is an excellent way to water any grass, provided the proper amount of water is applied when needed and not at a later or more convenient time. When using this approach, water at the first sign of wilt and apply 3/4 inch of water per application. During prolonged droughts, it may be necessary to water carpetgrass every other day. If carpetgrass is grown on naturally wet soils where it is best adapted, irrigation may not be necessary.
Pest Problems
Carpetgrass is damaged by nematodes and several insects and diseases. Refer to pest control chapters of the Florida Lawn Handbook for control measures.
Lawn caterpillars, mole crickets and spittlebugs cause damage. Worms are especially damaging on well-fertilized carpetgrass.
The principal disease affecting carpetgrass is brown patch.
If carpetgrass is grown on poorly drained, wet soils, nematodes should not be a major problem. However, on well-drained soils, nematodes can cause very serious damage to carpetgrass. These soilborne, microscopic worms attack the grass roots and, if not controlled, can weaken or ultimately kill the entire lawn.
Seeding is easier and less expensive than sprigging. Use fresh, weed-free seed. Broadcast at the
rate of 4 - 5 pounds per 1000 square feet. Planting dates are April to July. It is advisable to kill any existing weeds with a nonselective herbicide such as glyphosate before planting.
Proper fertilization of carpet grass is an important practice in a good maintenance program. Carpetgrass does not tolerate excessive use of fertilizer, especially nitrogen. For a low-fertility regime, a complete fertilizer can be applied at 1 pound of N per 1000 square feet annually. For a slightly higher quality lawn, up to 2 pounds of N can be applied annually.
If fertilized as recommended, carpetgrass will require mowing every 10 to 14 days at a height of 1 to 2 inches. Weekly mowing with a rotary mower may be necessary during the summer to remove the unsightly seedheads.

Early and Continuous Screening
Early and continuous screening is intended to identify children with special health care needs as early as possible so families can receive appropriate services to address those needs. Continuous screenings also help identify and prevent secondary conditions that interfere with a child's development and well-being.
According to the 2009-10 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs (NS-CSHCN), 66.8 percent of North Dakota children with special health care needs were screened early and continuously for special health care needs compared to 78.6 percent at the national level.

Early Hearing Detection and Intervention or Hearing Loss
- National Center on Hearing Assessment and Management (NCHAM) serves as the National Technical Resource Center for all state-based Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs in the United States. Their goal is to ensure that all infants and toddlers with hearing loss are identified as early as possible and provided with timely and appropriate audiological, educational and medical intervention.
- National Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) houses the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Program, which works with states and territories to ensure that infants are screened for hearing loss no later than one month of age, infants who do not pass the screening for hearing loss get a full hearing evaluation no later than 3 months of age, and infants with a hearing loss receive intervention services no later than 6 months of age. When a child's hearing loss is identified soon after birth, families and professionals can make sure the child gets timely follow-up testing and intervention services at an early age. This will help the child develop communication and language skills that will last a lifetime.
- ND Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (ND EHDI) works to provide hearing screenings to all newborns in the state before hospital discharge and to refer those identified with a hearing loss to appropriate early intervention services.
Newborn Screening
- National Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) houses the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Newborn Screening Program, which promotes that all babies are screened, even if they look healthy, because some medical conditions cannot be seen by just looking at the baby. Finding these conditions soon after birth can help prevent some serious problems, such as brain damage, organ damage and even death.
- North Dakota Department of Health Newborn Screening Program's purpose is to test all newborns in North Dakota for early signs of a number of treatable disorders, as mandated by the North Dakota Century Code and the Agency Rules.
Vision Screening
- Infant See� is a public health program designed to ensure early detection of eye conditions in babies. Member optometrists provide a comprehensive eye and vision assessment for infants within the first year of life regardless of a family's income or access to insurance coverage.
Developmental Screening/Autism Screening
- Developmental Monitoring and Screening - a child's growth and development are kept track of through a partnership between the parent and the health professional. At each well-child visit, the doctor looks for developmental delays or problems and discusses any concerns the parent might have. This is called developmental monitoring (or surveillance). Any problems noticed during developmental monitoring should be followed-up with developmental screening.
- "Learn the Signs. Act Early" is a campaign that aims to educate parents about childhood development, including early warning signs of autism and other developmental disorders, and encourages developmental screening and intervention.
Preventative well-child visits
- The American Academy of Pediatrics
developed a set of comprehensive health supervision guidelines for
well-child care, called Bright Futures, for pediatricians to follow. Its
mission is to promote and improve the health, education, and well-being of
infants, children, adolescents, families and communities. Well-child care
gives the parent an opportunity to raise questions and concerns about their
child's development, behavior and general well-being.
Title V/Maternal and Child Health State Performance Measure Fact Sheet
The North Dakota Department of Health's Maternal and Child Health Services Title V Block Grant Program has placed priority on comprehensive screening, assessment and treatment for the MCH population. For more information on Title V efforts, see ND's state performance measure fact sheet .

Broadway lights go up in post-Sandy NYC
NEW YORK (AP) -- The lights were to go up again on Broadway Wednesday for the first time since Hurricane Sandy hit New York, as entertainers strove to head back to work in a city still wracked by power-outages and a suspended subway system.
Though some Broadway shows, including "Mary Poppins" and "The Lion King" were remaining dark Wednesday, the curtain was to rise for many of the other 38 shows, including "Cyrano De Bergerac." Patrick Page, who plays the villain Comte de Guiche in the production, was heading back to the theater for a matinee performance, even if he was unsure if there would be anyone in the seats.
"Broadway is as important an icon of New York City as the subways, so to get back to work is a sign that we can bounce back," he said. "This has been such a tough time for so many and it's vital that we show the lights are on and there's great work being done onstage."
Page said he spent a restless time off in his Upper West Side neighborhood, worried about his in-laws along the New Jersey shore -- he is married to actress and TV personality Paige Davis. He said he checked Facebook to find out how friends were fairing, obsessively watched the news and went out to check that neighbors had ridden out the storm.
"We're New Yorkers," he said. "We'll get through this."
That was also the spirit of New York's late-night TV hosts, all of whom were to be back in production Wednesday. The remaining holdouts -- Jon Stewart with "The Daily Show" and Stephen Colbert with "The Colbert Report" -- were to join David Letterman ("The Late Show"), Jimmy Fallon ("Late Night") and Jimmy Kimmel ("Jimmy Kimmel Live"), who is doing a week of shows in Brooklyn, on the airwaves.
Out of safety and caution, Letterman taped Monday and Tuesday's episodes in front of an empty Ed Sullivan Theater. Fallon did the same at Rockefeller Center on Monday.

Vice-President of the European Commission, EU Justice Commissioner
Assuring data protection in the age of the internet
BBA (British Bankers' Association) Data Protection and Privacy Conference
London, 20 June 2011
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am delighted to be here at the British Bankers' Association's Data Protection and Privacy Conference to share with you my ideas on the upcoming data protection reform for Europe.
The protection of personal data is one of the basic values for people in Europe, for the Member States of the EU and for the EU institutions. The fundamental right to personal data protection is guaranteed for every person in Europe, citizens and non-citizens alike.
Current legal framework and envisaged reform
The current EU legal framework for protecting personal data is from 1995. In the meantime, rapid technological developments and globalisation have profoundly changed the world around us, and brought new challenges for data privacy. With social networking sites, cloud computing, location-based services and smart cards we leave digital traces with every move we make.
In this 'brave new data world' we need a robust set of rules. Our knowledge-based economies thrive on the free exchange of data. Our aim should be to preserve freedom of information and data flows, to create a level-playing field for businesses when it comes to data protection obligations, and to protect the personal data of individuals.
In order to find out how to best address these challenges in practice, the Commission has consulted widely. We held a public consultation on the review of the current legal framework followed by targeted stakeholders' consultations throughout 2010. I am very grateful for the British Bankers' Association's valuable contribution to the public consultation, submitted by the European Banking Federation. We also received comprehensive and insightful responses from the UK Ministry of Justice, the Information Commissioner's Office and the Bar Council of England and Wales.
The consultations have confirmed that the underlying principles of the current EU data protection legislation are still very much valid and have stood the test of time. However, it became equally clear that the EU needs a more comprehensive and more coherent approach in its policy for the fundamental right to personal data protection.
One of the concerns raised by the European Banking Federation is the diversity of rules and requirements across different EU Member States and the resulting administrative costs, especially for banks operating in several EU Member States. The upcoming data protection reform is an opportunity to streamline those rules. The current diversity of rules across Member States comes at a huge cost to citizens and businesses alike. A level-playing field is clearly in businesses' interest.
This reform will greatly simplify the regulatory environment and will substantially reduce the administrative burden. We need to drastically cut red tape, do away with all the notification obligations and requirements that are excessively bureaucratic, unnecessary and ineffective. Instead, we will focus on those requirements which really enhance legal certainty.
Companies handling personal data in several EU countries currently have to meet different requirements in different Member States. This creates legal uncertainty and extra costs. The new legislation will clarify which law applies, across the EU.
This is what I will do for businesses. In turn, I expect businesses to do their share to ensure safe and transparent digital products and services.
People must know how their data is being used. Service providers have to increase transparency on how a service operates, what data is collected and further processed, for what purposes, and where and how it is stored. In light of recent data theft scandals, let me add that I expect companies to do more to keep their customers' personal data secure. Whether it is the Play Station, Google or Facebook – I can well understand if users lose trust in the internet and in companies offering online services. Without this confidence, business and the economy as a whole will suffer. We have to regain that trust.
A recent survey across the EU found that while 62% of people trust banks to protect their data, 35% do not. These figures mean there is no room for complacency for the banking sector.
Data security
We often hear from citizens who are concerned about the security of their personal data, especially in online transactions. This was also one of the main concerns individual users raised in the public consultation.
Only recently, we witnessed a massive security theft in online gaming services affecting millions of users around the world. This incident highlights why companies need to reinforce the security of the information they hold. Frequent incidents of data security breaches risk undermining consumers' trust in the online economy.
Companies should beef up their precautions against identity theft and better protect consumers' personal data. They should immediately notify breaches of data security and confidentiality.
I intend to introduce a mandatory requirement to notify data security breaches – the same as I did for telecoms and internet access when I was Telecoms Commissioner, but this time for all sectors, including banking and financial services.
I understand that some in the banking sector are concerned that a mandatory notification requirement would be an additional administrative burden. However, I do believe that an obligation to notify incidents of serious data security breach is entirely proportionate and would enhance consumers' confidence in data security and oversight mechanisms.
It would also create a stronger incentive for business to conduct serious risk assessments to protect personal data and to implement the appropriate security measures protecting the confidentiality, the integrity and the availability of personal data.
Ladies and gentlemen, we will finalise our proposals for revising the EU data protection legislation in the coming months. As I said earlier, we have consulted widely on this major reform of data protection in the EU, and we have taken into account many suggestions and concerns of experts and stakeholders. During my visit to London, I will have the opportunity to discuss our proposals with Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke who gave a very thoughtful speech on EU data protection reform in Brussels last month.
I welcome the proactive attitude of the United Kingdom's government on privacy and personal data protection. This appears to reflect the public mood. Just to give you an example: I have received letters from parents concerned that their children are fingerprinted in school, without their consent. I have urged the UK authorities to solve this injustice and received assurances that children's biometric data should only be used once parental consent has been obtained.
In fact, outlawing the finger-printing of children at school was one of the commitments set out in the Coalition Agreement as part of this Government's agenda in upholding civil liberties. It features alongside the "ending of storage of internet and email records without good reason". These commitments go very much in the same direction as the protection that is at the heart of the reform of the data protection rules.
So, it is hardly surprising that I can agree with a great deal in Kenneth Clarke's Brussels speech. For example, in re-visiting the EU's data protection rules, there is no need to reinvent the underlying principles. Many of the principles of the current Directive have indeed stood the test of time. I also fully agree that we need to make the rules more relevant to modern methods of business. We need to reinforce the internal market logic of the existing directive, which too often fails to provide businesses with sufficient clarity. Instead it confronts them with a variety of often conflicting standards. I agree with Kenneth Clarke that this needs to be addressed.
He is also right to observe that outside the economic context of the internal market, there is more room, and also a need, for flexibility in the way national authorities meet their data protection objectives. That means a more nuanced approach when we revise the rules on law enforcement to make sure that they comply with the extra guarantees provided by the Lisbon Treaty.
It also goes without saying that reform of the current rules should work with the grain of national systems of enforcement and national constitutional traditions. But if I may be permitted to round off my speech, by returning to my point of departure: what worked in 1995 needs to be adapted to the internet society in which we increasingly live.
We have to be as creative in our thinking on regulatory design, as those who have created and designed the internet and the cloud. I do not see the cloud as a threat to our rights, but as a challenge.
Take the cloud, the story goes that the data in cross-border and cross-continent flows is impossible to regulate. This is not my vision of the future. I agree with those businesses arguing that regulation would be feasible if we make them more accountable! This is why I am considering the inclusion of the "accountability principle" in my reform so that data of citizens exported to third countries is always exported with their rights attached.
Or take the "right to be forgotten". "Impossible" some say, "get over it". Well, I don't agree. Already the current Directive gives individuals a possibility to have their data deleted, in particular when the processing is unlawful. Or take the e-Privacy Directive, where subscribers are entitled to have data that is contained in public directories withdrawn.
I do not approach this subject of the "right to be forgotten" lightly. I know that there is a balance to be struck with freedom of expression. It may also call for some flexibility in the way this balance is struck, but I cannot accept that individuals have no say over their data once it has been launched into cyberspace.
I know that your conference today will touch on many of these issues. I am sure that we can learn from your experiences to build a data protection regime fitted to our new age.
Thank you.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Freshman Christine Clark hit a jumper with 3.5 seconds on the clock to give the Harvard women's basketball team a 69-68 win over Columbia Friday night at Levien Gymnasium. The Crimson improves to 10-6 overall, 2-0 in Ivy League play and 25-0 against the Lions at Levien Gym.
Sophomore Victoria Lippert led four Crimson players in double figures with 20 points including four in the final minute of the game. Brogan Berry added 15 points, while Emma Markley added 15 and Clark put up 10. Markley moved into 10th on the all-time rebounds list at Harvard after leading the team with five on the night
Harvard and Columbia battled it out in the first half with the Crimson holding a 31-30 edge at the half. The Crimson took an early 5-2 lead on a Matera three-pointer before the Lions went on a 5-0 run to take its first lead of the game, 7-5, with 16:32 left in the first half. Jackie Alemany was a spark off the bench for the Crimson scoring seven points and grabbing two rebounds in five minutes to help Harvard to its largest lead of the first half, 16-11, with 10:44 on the clock. Four minutes late a lay-up from Markley put the visiting team up four, but a Kathleen Barry three and a lay-up from Dywer gave the Lions a 23-22 advantage. The team's trade leads three more times before the end of the half with an Emma Golen lay-up putting the Crimson on top before the end of the half.
Markley had eight points, five assists, three rebounds a block and a steal in the first 20 minutes of action. Columbia outrebounded the Crimson, 23-16 in the first half, including 10 offensive boards to keep the score close. Harvard made 46.7 percent of its shots in the opening frame.
Both teams struggled offensively in the first five minutes of the second stanza as neither team was able to pull away from the other. Harvard held a 45-41 leads with 12:18 left in the game, but a Taylor Ward three-point play and another lay-up by the Lions put Columbia up 46-45 a minute later. After trading leads, the Lions drained a three to go up 53-50 – its largest lead on the night. Lippert converted on a three-point play on the other end on Harvard's next possession to tie the game with 7:40 left on the clock. The teams went back and forth with the lead until the very end. Lippert hit a pair of free throws and then a jumper to give the Crimson a one-point advantage.
Harvard shot 45.8 percent from the field and 81.3 percent from the free throw line. Columbia hit 40.3 percent of its shots and outrebounded the Crimson, 43-33.
The Crimson continues its road trip at Cornell Saturday. The Big Red defeated Dartmouth Friday night. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. in Ithaca, N.Y.

The Cameron Clan was described as 'Fiercer than fierceness itself' and it was reputed to be one of the most ancient clans of Scotland. The hereditary name of the chiefs of the Clan is MacDhomnuill Duibh, from their ancestor "Black Donald".
The first assured chief of the clan was not found until 1411, when Donald Du reigned in that year. Following this date, the clan split into three separate branches, one each at Letterfinlay, Strone and Glen Nevis, with the clan seat at Lochaber.
The Camerons are said to have traditionally descended from the Kings of Denmark and probably assisted in the restoration of King Fergus II in 404. The first written records of the Cameron Clan date back to the 13th century.
In 1214, Adam de Kamerun was witness to a charter to the monks of Cupar. In 1219, Hugh Cambrun was the sheriff of Forfar and in 1233, Johannes Cambron was a charter witness in Moray. In 1360, the Cameron Clan received the first official grant of the lands of Lochaber and they were later granted Locheil, and Locharkaig, by the Lord of the Isles.
In 1360 they received the first official grant of the lands of Lochaber. They were later granted Locheil, and Locharkaig, by the Lord of the Isles. The Camerons were continually at feud with the Clan Chattan, and notable amongst the battles was that of Charles Hill. Suffering defeat in 1370 they rose to prominence at the Battle of Harlaw, but again were forfeited. King James IV restored their lands in 1493.

We get some criticism from people for liking Domino's Pizza (because we live in New York) but let's be clear: Domino's is pretty delicious and serves a roll in our culinary selection on occasion. It's like what Taco Bell is to Mexican food—it's not the same or better, just different.
So with that preamble, we're excited and miffed to see the official Domino's app get updated for Windows Phone 8—with some killer features too. The bad news is it's only for the UK and Ireland, which as an American I find…odd.
What's new in version 22.214.171.124 just released to the Store today? Glad you asked.
- Live tile notifications – these tell you the latest deals on offer from your nearest store!
- Voice command – you can start the app with a simple voice command, including: "Domino's Pizza, I am hungry", "Domino's Pizza" or "Domino's feed me"
- NFC - you can redeem vouchers by tapping on any flyer, poster or other Domino's Pizza NFC-tagged print material!
Call us crazy, but that sounds like a pretty rocking app update. In addition, you can still browse their menu, place orders, track your delivery and get updates on deals.
So why is this not in the US, the home of Domino's? We have no idea. They do have iOS and Android apps and clearly they are dabbling in Windows Phone (the 7.x version came out a year ago) but we have no idea why they would be so obstinate in releasing one for the States.
Anyway, if you're in the UK and Ireland and like to indulge in some Domino's pizza (we won't judge) you'll want to pick up the Windows Phone 8 version here in the Store. Thanks, Benjamin C., for the tip!
Oh and for our US residents, the best we can do for you is PapaHutNo's Pizza app, which boasts that it
"…makes it easy to find the closest Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, and/or Domino's pizza location. In addition, its Deal Feed function merges each chain's Facebook feed, making it easy to find out what the latest promotions are. Health information about the pizza options is only a couple clicks away, as are online ordering screens."
You can pick up PapaHutNo's Pizza here in the Store for all Windows Phones.

Cycling we're actually doing pretty well coming in to the games but we'll probably mess up in the Olympics.
Interestingly enough given the posts above, we didn't win any medals in any shooting competitions (apart from a bronze in the archery) in Athens. Think we won one in Sydney (admittedly a gold) and that was the first shooting medal since about 88.
Our top sports i'd say were Rowing, Sailing, Cycling and Equestrian, throwing in Modern Pentathlon.
Below that we have Athletics, Swimming, Archery, Badminton, Diving,maybe Judo and Boxing where we can expect the odd medal.
Apart from that we're dreaming in the other sports
Here's the BOA's predictions of medals
Cycling 6 (probably conservative)
Athletics 5 (very optimistic)
Sailing 4 (Probably about right)
