Foreign Affairs
The Group of Eight (G-8) summit on July 21–23 on Okinawa dominated Japanese foreign policy during the year. On July 8 finance ministers issued reports from meetings that were a prelude to the summit. The reports noted the explosion of information technology and called for reform of the international financial system. A second set of reports emerged from meetings of foreign ministers, and they stressed the need to prevent regional conflicts in part by reforming UN peacekeeping procedures. One report emphasized the importance of reducing tensions between North and South Korea.
While taking a recess from the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David, Maryland, U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton arrived on Okinawa on July 21. He was the first president to visit the island since its reversion to Japan in 1972. He stopped first in the city of Itoman for a memorial service dedicated to the more than 200,000 Americans, Japanese, and others who died in 1945 in the Battle of Okinawa. During his stay Clinton promised "to reduce our footprint on this island."
The climax of the summit came with the issue of a communiqué entitled "Okinawa 2000" by the heads of state. This document called for reorganization of the UN, especially the Security Council (Japan was still not a permanent member). It also proposed the establishment of a digital opportunity task force to address what the Japanese called "the digital divide" between developed and less-developed areas.
By the close of the G-8 summit, the main criticism of the Japanese was that their government had spent $750 million in hosting the conference. Moreover, many Okinawa residents were restive over the American involvement in mounting the meetings. In December 1999 Washington had offered Tokyo $1 billion for the reconstruction of the city of Nago, where much of the summit took place. American military officers hoped eventually to construct a new heliport there. A U.S. air base at Futenma (farther south) had been closed as a result of protests from Japanese living nearby. Okinawa, which makes up less than 1% of Japan's geographic area, had 75% of the U.S. military bases in the country and hosted two-thirds of the American troops based in Japan.
In other foreign policy issues, Prime Minister Mori met with Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg on April 29. Their otherwise cordial exchange was shadowed by an incident in an area under lingering dispute. On April 21 a Russian coast guard vessel had fired on a Japanese fishing vessel near small islands between Hokkaido and the Russian-held Kuril Islands. The islets, long claimed by Japan, had been occupied by Russian forces since World War II. Tokyo continued to press for the return of what the Japanese called the Northern Territories and to make way for a formal peace treaty, delayed since 1945. During their meeting Mori briefed Putin on the upcoming Okinawa summit, which Putin later attended, and both expressed the desire to resolve the territorial claim by the end of the year. On September 5, however, while Putin was in Tokyo for additional talks with Mori, he rejected the claim of Japanese sovereignty over the islands and thus demolished hopes for signing a peace treaty in 2000.
During the year Japan and the U.S. continued their difficult negotiations on trade. In January the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled that steel-plate imports from Japan were being priced below cost of production. This cleared the way for imposition of punitive dumping duties. On March 23 in Tokyo, Japanese and American negotiators suspended talks on deregulation of Japan's telecommunications market. Washington had demanded a reduction in fees to connect to the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) system. It was pointed out that NTT, a former state monopoly, still controlled 99% of local phone traffic. After nine days of intense negotiations, on July 19 the U.S. and Japan reached an agreement to cut linking costs by about 40% over three years.
In May Mori made the obligatory trip to Washington. He offered President Clinton opinions on information technology; the president, in turn, repeated his demand for deregulation in communications. In July Japan sent six ships to the northwestern Pacific on whale-hunting expeditions. Their targets were minke, Bryde's, and sperm whales. The Japanese argued that international conventions allowed such hunts, provided that the mission was to conduct scientific research. Critics pointed out that once the Japanese catches were examined, the whale meat was resold in Japan at high prices to distributors and expensive restaurants. U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright stated that the U.S. was "deeply troubled" by the expansion of whaling. On September 13 President Clinton announced that Japanese fishermen might be expelled from American waters and additional sanctions could be imposed in coming months.
Japan's relations with China were shaped by American policy. Like Washington, Tokyo had formal relations with Beijing and agreed that there was but one China. The Japanese insisted that a solution to the status of Taiwan had to be peaceful. To the consternation of Chinese officials, Japan agreed with the U.S. on joint guidelines to defend undefined "areas surrounding Japan." The Chinese believed those areas included Taiwan.
Japanese retained commercial interests in Taiwan. Indeed, lively trade made its way through the island and Hong Kong to China. Big corporations were fascinated by the size of the potential market on the mainland. On May 29 Japan's largest carmaker, the Toyota Motor Corp., announced that the Chinese government had authorized the formation of a joint venture with China's Tianjin Automobile Xiali Corp. Toyota planned to open a plant in Tianjin by 2002. Total investment in the company would be about $100 million. Toyota was the third Japanese auto company to link with Chinese firms, following the Suzuki Motor Corp. and the Honda Motor Co. Tianjin Xiali was already producing a compact car, known as the Charade, in Japan.
An equally difficult situation marked Japan's ties with the Korean peninsula. Tokyo had established formal ties with Seoul. Only informal contact was sporadically maintained with Pyongyang. On April 5, after eight years of silence, talks regarding the possible normalization of Japan's relations with North Korea opened in Pyongyang, albeit on shaky ground. North Korean negotiators insisted that Japan first apologize for the occupation of the peninsula from 1910 to 1945 and, further, discuss compensation for the occupation. Japan's chief representative repeated Japan's 1995 apology to its neighbours for wartime aggression but refused to offer compensation, then went on to counter by citing other issues: the North's missile buildup and suspected nuclear weapons program as well as its reported abduction of Japanese nationals. The two sides suspended negotiations. After the slight thaw in contacts between Seoul and Pyongyang, talks in Tokyo in late August between Japan and North Korea resulted once again in the entrenchment of positions and another suspension of negotiations.
During the year Japan took the lead in expanding an unusual regional bloc. On April 22 delegates from 16 countries and territories in the South Pacific gathered in Miyazaki. The Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) represented an array of islands ranging from Palau and Micronesia to Samoa and Kiribati and included such nations as Australia and New Zealand. PIF chairman Kuniwo Nakamura of Palau and Prime Minister Mori welcomed the group, which urged the responsible management of natural resources and attention to environmental problems in the South Pacific.

He's been using the Resource Center since September of last year, initially for research and writing purposes, but then to start looking for work.
He now primarily uses it for job searches.
"I can get pretty much any job listing in the area here, and it doesn't take long to do a job search."
He doesn't have computer access at home.
"Internet can be fairly pricey, so I am here every day."
It is a resource that allows him to see who is hiring and apply online for a position.
"I got a call from CVPH (Medical Center) about a job, and it required certain skills," MacAbee said. "You can get those online through here."

Mayoral election will move to the center
Not just based on ideology -- the center of San Diego is up for grabs
• DeMaio's best performance was topping 55 percent in five precincts, four of which were in Rancho Bernardo. The other was in Pomerado.
• Filner's strongest support was five precincts in which he topped 72 percent — located in the Encanto and Chollas Park neighborhoods.
Neither DeMaio nor Filner said they were surprised by the breakdowns given their past public service in the half of the city they dominated. Both also promised they would compete in all areas of the city in the fall regardless of their opponent's inherent advantage in certain areas.
"The south is majority Democrat and the north is Republican, it's as simple as that," Filner said. "I'm not surprised, but we're going to change it in the election by campaigning on issues in neighborhoods that are not necessarily majority Democrat. For me, the whole city is a battleground. I like to say potholes have no party. People want solutions. They want issues that are out of this partisan thing that has caused so much gridlock. Got to have intelligent, rational solutions and that's what I'm going to offer everywhere — north, south and middle."
DeMaio said the voting results show he can win votes south of I-8 because he fared better than Dumanis and Fletcher in many of those neighborhoods.
"I think it just reflects kind of the dynamics of a four-person primary, but what you'll see I think in the general election is a real broad-based coalition that we're building of Democrats, Republicans and independents all around the city," he said. "We are going to be walking in every neighborhood. We're going to be holding community coffees. Because I want to make sure that I'm the mayor for all of San Diego, not just a dividing line, but the mayor for all of San Diego. And that means that even if I don't win a neighborhood I'm going to be there so I can listen and learn and build relationships."
DeMaio finished first in the primary with 31.5 percent of the vote while Filner was a close second with 30.4 percent for a difference of about 2,500 votes. Fletcher and Dumanis had 24 percent and 13 percent, respectively. The runoff is Nov. 6.

Scott & White Emergency Hospital at Cedar Park is the result of the health system's continued leadership in providing care in an area that has experienced robust population growth.
"We are pleased to offer this community the access to additional Scott & White services and to provide emergency care options for residents in western Williamson County," said Ernie Bovio , chief executive officer for Scott & White Healthcare - Round Rock Region.

Is Judaism a Political Philosophy? Reflections on Spinoza, Strauss, and Levinas
The Athenaeum is pleased to host Professor Oona Eisenstadt of Pomona College as the final speaker in the series on the political and Jewish thought behind the philosopher Leo Strauss. Professor Eisenstadt continues the exploration of the political theory to which Strauss contributed, and its intersection with modern Jewish theology. By looking at Strauss in the context of other Jewish philosophers, such as the French Jewish moral philosopher Emmanuel Lévinas and the Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza, Eisenstadt attempts to answer the question, "Is Judaism a political philosophy?"
Professor Eisenstadt holds the Fred Krinsky Chair of Jewish Studies and is assistant professor of Religious Studies at Pomona College, where she teaches about Jewish mysticism, religious ethics, and post-Holocaust philosophy. Eisenstadt received her undergraduate and doctoral degrees from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, before moving on to postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Toronto and Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Her current research involves interdisciplinary approaches to Levinas' postmodern philosophy, as referenced in her book, Driven Back to the Text: The Premodern Sources of Levinas' Postmodernism, published in 2001.
Professor Oona Eisenstadt presents the final lecture in the series "Leo Strauss and Modern Jewish Thought," planned in conjunction with Professor Gary Gilbert and co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights.

Rated 5 out of 5�by SoccerMom2014 Warm & Durable Tights My 9-year old son wears these during soccer games in the winter months - a medium fits him snug like they should, and they have held up well, even after slide tackling and blocking PK's! Bought these instead of higher priced options based on other reviews, which turned out to be a good decision. December 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sue68 These tights are great My son plays soccer in the spring and fall and he loves these to help keep his legs warm. They hold up really good with all the washing and use he gets. October 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mom Excellent Quality My nine year old son uses these pants under his football gear for cold weather games. Excellent quality, dry and warm on some of the coldest game days. October 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lc Warm and comfy My son wears this under his football pants. Comfortable and warm. October 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by FBCoach Very good product! I bought this product for my boys to wear on cold days while playing flag football and baseball. They both were very complimentary of the tights, and have worn them a few times. Our only issue with them is there length, the Youth Mediums seem to run a little longer than most products of this type. Fortunately to long is much better than too short, so it has not been a big issue. Very Comfortable Warm under shorts or pants Wick sweet away from skin January 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by csquared Cold Weather Tights great for sports I bought these for my daughter to wear during the cold soccer season. They keep her legs warm in the 30 and 40 degree temperature. While she says they are not the softest, she is happy with them. March 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Haymom Love them! My son hates to wear sweatpants for soccer practice. This year it has been so cold I didn't want him to freeze. When we found these he said he would give them a try. He loves them and I don't feel his cold knees for hours once he gets home. They are the so he layers his uniform over and stays warm without bulk. March 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Vince Love it! I bought this for my 10 year old son and he loves it.The fit is good and so far it has worn well. January 22, 2015

Cruising To Mars: The Rover's Tasks
By editor
NASA launched the Mars Science Laboratory from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on Saturday. The MSL is five times heavier than the rovers currently on Mars and has twice as many scientific instruments. It will take nine months for the spacecraft to reach the Red Planet, and there's plenty of things for it to do before then.

Matilda Faulkner Holloway
Hello Anita,
Thank you for your suggestion. Matilda's father was Russell Faulkner- there was never Artimus as part of his name. I've researched this family for 40 years and have written a book on them. His father is unknown at this time. There is lots of misinformation on the Internet. There was an Amos Richard Faulkner living in the same area. Their relationship, if any, is unknown. So folks have even called Russell Faulkner "Amos Russell" mixing him up with Amos Richard. They were not too far apart in age.
A link to my book- if you are further interested.
I explain all of this in it. http://www.lulu.com/shop/search.ep?keyWords=families+of+russell+faulkner&type=

Games that deceived you...?
What are some games that you guys bought and were excited, for but then completely let down by it?
My top one would have to be Skyrim.
I hate to say it but i liked oblivion a whole lot more.
Let me know some of yours.
Mafia 2. Oh LORD MAFIA 2.
I did see a female Orc at Bellethor's General Store, buying a box of Redguards -RAGEface14, in a topic about Orc menstruation.
Sony PS4 Conference = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5SVJw4ZcJY
Postal III because I loved the first two games, but they decided to outsource the game to a Russian studio that seemed to think gamers LOVE escort and protection missions so they made 90% of the game with them. Gone was the open world of part 2 and everything else good about part 2. It was a really bad 3rd person shooter with clunky controls, terrible hit detection, the worst AI, and very little in the way of fun. It was so bad that the series creators disowned the game and removed it from their web store after vowing to never outsource their games ever again. I paid $40 for that s***.
Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens Colonial Marines so much hype and both games just sucked. With Duke, I get where Gearbox was because they spent a lot of money to buy the IP only to end up with a really bad game that they had to sell as is. Aliens was the case of them being too busy with Borderlands 2 so they outsource it to several studios which decided to throw everything out and piss on it so they could make their own Aliens game to the dismay of everyone.
Werewolf The Last Warrior the graphics and music were awesome for the NES but it just wasn't a very good game. The controls get really confusing like to this day I still can't figure out how to climb the pipes on the ceiling. The game is mostly throwing an endless stream of enemies from all directions. But look at the awesome box art, how could any kid not beg their parents to buy this game?
From: kel25 | #004
Nobody cares but you. Oh noes two similar topics?! GameFaqs is going to explode!
jet force gemini. I got a vhs in the mail one day and the guy in the video made the game all exciting. When I played it, eventually, the game got worse and worse. Biggest let down i ever experienced

Calm down kid. I don't really care. Just pointing out that there was already a topic in it full of answers the TC was looking for.
Sony PS4 Conference = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5SVJw4ZcJY
Skyward Sword
PSN: DGray_Squally
Now playing: Fallout 3 (PC) , Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Uncharted 2, Rocksmith
Siren: Blood Curse
I got excited when I played the demo for the first time. Also, the fact that the music that plays while you highlight the game in the XMB freaked me out and thought the game is promising to be scary.
I end up importing the disc version of the game. It was fun at the first few chapters but it went completely downhill to the very end and made me wish I never played the game. :(
Whatever that is on your mind is my signature.

David Cage speaks openly on the state of videogames...
Currently putting the finishing touches to the long awaited Fahrenheit for Atari and with a number of new titles in the pipeline, Derek dela Fuente took the opportunity in speaking with David Cage CEO Quantic Dream and Writer/Director of Omikron and Fahrenheit about the company at large, his forthright opinions on the state of the videogame industry and Omikron 2.
TVG: When was Quantic Dream formed and what is your mission statement?
Quantic Dream was established back in 1997. We believe videogames can become an extraordinary platform to tell original stories and become a real main stream entertainment media. After a long period where games were more toys for kids, there will be a strong need for creativity and creators having a vision. This is exactly where we want to be.
TVG: What is your core expertise and how many people work at Quantic?
Quantic Dream has developed over the years a unique expertise in interactive storytelling and Action/Adventure games. We create games with a very strong creative vision, based on innovation and originality.
Depending on the development cycles, 40 to 75 people work at Quantic.
TVG: Do you create your own in-house tools and what kind of R/D department do you have and what would you say is the most important tool youâ??ve created?
All the tools we use (except 3D modelling and texturing) are done in house. We have developed our own cross-platform 3D engine for the PS2/PC/XBOX (ICE); a very powerful scripting tool called â??IAMâ?; and a set of tools to optimize the production pipeline, including an asset-management tool similar to "Alienbrain" called "DataSafe".
R&D has always been a very important department in the company, with up to 20 people working on the technology.
We are especially proud of our global approach to technology. Rather than just thinking about one aspect, like rendering for example, we worked on the production chain has a whole.
IAM (our scripting tool) is maybe one of the tools we are the most proud of. It includes a module called "M3" (for Movie Maker Module) that is a sort of "Premiere" in real time 3D. It allows to create cinema like sequences in real-time very easily.
TVG: Where does the PC sit in your future plans and what are your thoughts on PS3 and XBOX2 and do you believe that innovation comes through better technology?54
We see technology as a tool to achieve higher creative goals. A better technology can open new creative possibilities, but at the end, it is only a vehicle for ideas. If you have no idea, technology won't help you (well in fact, sometimes it doesâ?¦).
PC is an interesting platform for the future, and technical innovations may come from there. Quantic will continue to develop for PC, as PC players know our company and expect to see our titles. But we also want to be extremely aggressive on the Next-Gen consoles front as we believe that the console market will continue to expand, and thus offer interesting opportunities for the company able to develop high profile titles.
On a creative point of view, I like the idea that all gamers will see exactly the experience as I have designed it, with the same controllers and video cards, which is never the case on PC. Consoles also make games very accessible, without any drivers to download or configurations to worry aboutâ?¦
TVG: You own your own optical Motion-Capture studio; quite an extravagant expense in developer circles. Firstly how does this help with the creation of a game and is this a resource that other developers can use?
Our MoCap studio was of incredible value for Fahrenheit. In fact, the game could not have been done without an in-house facility. We experimented as much as we could, made extensive use of the set, we pushed the envelope as far as we could. Most of all, we fully integrated MoCap in our pipeline both on a production and technical point of view.
We are also sharing our expertise with other production whether for special effects in movies, commercials, 3D series or other video games.
TVG: What are your current thoughts on the gaming scene and what do you feel Quantic does best?
I am convinced that we cannot continue to make the same video games than over the last ten years, just adding more polys. Games have to evolve, get more depth to seduce older people and not only kids. It has the potential to leave its ghetto and become respectable and accessible to all. This industry needs to understand that it is possible to make games that are not only based on primitive violence. It needs to understand originality and innovation, take creative risks rather than try to stick to "me-too" products or movie licences. To dare, innovate, be original and true, may be a wiser strategy in the future.
TVG: Quantic Dream games have a big focus on people so would you consider using more actors and do you feel the games industry is still moving closer to the film industry as we were once told it was?
We are getting closer to the film industry, but sometimes in the wrong way. Most of the time, we copy the worst part of cinema. We take their B-series movies (sometimes C-seriesâ?¦), we sometimes believe we have the talent of movie creators, but most of the time, we are quite far away. Look at the best videogame story you can find, and compare it to the worst movie scenario. There may not be a big differenceâ?¦
In games, some people still believe that what is important is to kill and destroy. In movies, the talented creators have understood for very long that the only thing that matters is the story. Characters, emotions, relationships, identification, these are the real values, not finding the right crate for ammoâ?¦
Quantic Dream and Fahrenheit try to explore this totally unknown territory of having a solid story in a game, and rethink interactivity to allow to play with a story. I don't know if Fahrenheit will sell 5% of what GTA sold, but to me, this is clearly a very new and exciting direction.
TVG: The publisher/developer synergy appears to be going through a tumultuous period, with several publishers aggressively acquiring development studios to work in-house and even publishers looking at rival publishers to strengthen their own control of the market. Is this a sign of the resource and sheer investment needed for the Next-Gen and does it mean the death-knoll for smaller, perhaps more creative projects and teams?
Publishers start to understand that you can make games in very different ways : you can use a factory, or use a small creative studio. With the factories they have built over the year, they get tasteless, colourless, very clean products. They are very polished and well done, but they lack vision and creativity, just because no one can be really creative in a factory.
This is why big publishers will understand at some point that creativity lies in small studios, that creators want to work with a small team of people they like and that they can create games that no big studio would even think of. Publishers will continue to make their sports games and other franchises in their factories, but they will want more and more to explore new possibilities based on creativity.
TVG: If you had one wish for the progression of the gaming industry, or could change one thing what would it be?
Dare to innovate; start to think about what will work tomorrow and not what worked yesterday; give more consideration to game creators (hum sorry, these are three thingsâ?¦).
TVG: What can gamers look towards in 2005 from Quantic Dream and can you tell us briefly about the current state of Omikron 2?
Omikron 2 is at a very early prototyping stage. We have a lot of ambitions for this title. We want to make it a killer-app for Next-Gen consoles. We also want to remind players that Quantic Dream was the first company to create a city in real-time 3D, long before GTA. We want to create the most beautiful city ever seen in a video game, and use it within a very strong story.
We are also currently working on two other original titles that are in their early stage too.
TVG would like to thank David Cage for taking the time to answer our questions and providing an insight into the need for developers and publishers to take the risk and expand upon the concepts offered to gamers.

DUBLIN, Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wphflk/microscopy_markets) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Microscopy Markets" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769)
Microscopy is a complex, high-technology market focused on producing enlarged images of very small objects. There is a perception that traditional light and electron microscopy will gradually be replaced by the newly emerging Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Raman confocal systems, but traditional techniques will in reality continue to thrive as they contribute to a growing trend toward correlative microscopy in which multiple microscopy and/or spectroscopy techniques combine to investigate several integrated facets of a problem.
Microscopy industry players face numerous challenges, including the complexity of the instrumentation and the technical support required to maintain customer bases, but the broad applicability of microscopy techniques and ongoing innovations continue to drive growth in the sector. This report describes major microscope market segments and includes examinations of light, confocal, electron, ion and scanning probe microscopes. It assesses the microscopy market drivers and bottlenecks from the perspective of the medical and scientific communities and discusses the potential benefits of the microscopy market for different sectors.
The focus is on end-user markets, including hospitals, research facilities, freestanding clinics and equipment-leasing companies. This study also examines companies that are actively developing and marketing microscopy products around the world. The report includes current and forecasted market shares by company and profit/business opportunities by imaging segment.
