quote sephiroth_campbellYou are far too kind. I don't hold punches on the games I did like, let alone a huge dissapointment. But I think you are EXACTLY opposite of reality here. FF XIII was made based on some peoples negative reaction to FF XII. I liked having control of my characters, optional sidequests, thinking and taking an active role in playing a video game. So 12=good and 13=bad.
A 'fanboy' game would be one with great form but little substance. FF XIII is a fanboy game. They probably did rush it a bit too much. I agree that it did have quite a bit more potential. They should have figured out how to give you more control of your characters and not just thrown the few side quests in the game at the very end. Stealing steal was a 'bad' thing.
quote Fire FoxThey need to be more calculating and they wouldn't have this problem. They are polite and eager to please. So they let the cat out of the bag far in advance.
quote sephiroth_campbell1- FF VII's materia system is used.
2- Add new graphics, characters, and storyline.
3- Make loads of money and happy fans.
^Because that is a bad idea HOW?
They have been reusing FFx's skill system for awhile now. It would be on par for them to reuse another games system.
Or maybe they will do like they did for FFT and steal from another designers work. I loved FFT. I am hoping they make Versus like Rogue Galaxy.

quote Principality^ do you remember them saying that the FNC project would consist of 6 titles?
The neowiki page for Final Fantasy says that as well, but I cannot find the interview where it says 6 games. Remember Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII?

Yes, I do remember them saying that it will consist of six forms of media. It's not going to stop them from making further titles though.
Crisis Core, Dissidia, Dirge of Cerberus. These all came out during the production of core Final Fantasy titles and in no way hampered their development. I guess it would just mean that there would be different/multiple production teams. It also would depend on who they have lead in the development of the titles, and what other commitments that they may already have to other promised games.
The Final Fantasy NeoWiki does have an image of a 'business plan' working diagram of what the Fabula Nova Crystallis Project is expected to be.

quote GuardianGriffenI liked having well developed characters, a great backstory for the events of the main story, getting that emotional connection that helped me relate to the main characters in a video game. So 13=good and 12=bad.
I was gonna say something along the lines of "people have different opinions" "there is no wrong anwser". Real state the obvious things because that sentence just irked me I guess, I think. I think though I dislike how you're massively oversimplifying minor minor points and using them to put a blanket black/white label on things.
quote GuardianGriffenNot directed at you but just a general thought set off by your post. This whole Fanboy stuff is stupid.
Person A likes something, Person B don't like said thing and thus try to devalue Person A's character(and in turn his opinion). That's how a lot of people argue/debate, it's quite basic/simplistic and pointless. Pointless that if everyone did this it'd just be a test of who can insult the best. I really don't like this style of argument.
If a game is well liked, it's more often than not a good/decent(not that I'm saying great or excellent) game. There is a correlation between a good game and a popular game, a popular game and a successful game, a successful game and a profitable game. That is what it boils down to on the developer side. Fanboy/Popular games make money.
There are always gonna be people who dislike even the best(considered next to perfect) of games/movies/general media. Does that make a perfect game any less great? Again I'm not saying 'this' game is perfect, but damn if it wasn't popular/successful(it got some great sales right? really, I'm asking).
I don't like when people think they have a better opinion than other people and look down on other peoples opinion, like somehow theirs is worth more. Calling people fanboys or whatever other name even though they're the minority.

quote GuardianGriffen
I agree in part. I didn't like the linearity of XIII and the Cie'th stone missions have kind of a "take it or leave it feel" that are only compelling to complete because of the trophies. You complete the quest and you get a reward; this is really all that's necessary to compel people to hours of playing but there's really no pay-off in the end to justify the time dedicated to these ultimately meaningless achievements. I need more depth in order to get a sense of accomplishment. That being said, I still liked XIII more than XII. Truly. I got attached to the characters enough to keep me going.
I imagine the creative department is playing a game that's kind of like D&D to determine their ideas for XV onward.
Somebody calls out "sphere grid rehash!," then everybody must make a successful saving throw vs. responsibility at a -3 penalty or have the blame pinned on them for the lack of originality. If their time with the company is less than four years they must resign. Nobody ever lands a critical hit in their game.

quote BakkaAgreed
I was indicating a direct corilation between fan responces to FF XII and implementations found in FF XIII. Implementations which I belive to be OVER-CORRECTIONS. FF XIII is like playing the entire FF XII game with three espers as a party. The gambit system is still there. You just swap out which pre-determined gambit characters are in the fight. FF Auto-battle is a more fitting name for that game.
quote 000DESTRUCT0The gameplay is the reason I PLAY a video game. In the end a nifty story isn't enough to make me happy. If I wanted a great story I would watch a movie or read a book. Video games are INTERACTIVE media. As such I expect a level of input on MY PARTY that FF XIII doesn't offer.
quote BakkaI liked the characters/storyline in both games. They may have a tendency to not die, but I don't go hugging my characters in a video game. I have cried at the emotional movie clips. I thought that FF X was far more emotional then either of these games and I would understand if you were saying you like FF X and didn't like FF XII. I don't see a big enough of a change between XII and XIII to justify this statement.

the main critique about FFXII for most is just the fact that there is no controll at all with battles you choose what 'class' you want and the others follow but yet you have no controll over them what so ever....kinda like throwing a stone in a pond you throw it but have no control over the ripples
thus makes the game stupidly hard....but yet the game was a walk in the park which by my oppinion destroys the soul of all ff's as most of you have gathered in other final fnantasys there are some bosses and even story events you get stuck on but FFXIII did not have any aspect of this
where as in most other final fantasys too you had the 'ultimate' boss but where still optional
FF7 the weapons
FF8 ultima and omega weapon
FF9 ozma
FF10 dark aeons/pennance/omega
FF12 yiazmat/espers
but yet FFXIII never had anything but a hard monster which was dumb in my oppinion....
so to me it was like FFX-2 just not really a final fantasy or even existant as one..but you still have a wierd niggling to play it one in a while

FF XII (US) is a different game then FF XII (japan). Not sure what system Europe got. The US got the good game. The skill point system doesn't have blocks with myst charges/espers. All those skills will not exclude any character from getting any other skill on the grid. All characters can have any of the three myst charges, without developing a 'class' or excluding anything in the skill system. My LP grid is 100% full on all my characters with about 64,000 extra LP for each character. The only thing that I don't have with all my characters is the individual espers, being a one person skill in all versions of the game.
quote sephiroth_campbellI am not certain if you are talking about FF XII at all. All of what you said is something I would say for FF XIII. If you don't properly use the gambit system in FF XII, it will function like FF XIII does all the time. If you are running through an area and you loaded your characters with too many gambits, they will lag behind casting extra crap. Turning gambits off all/part way, using the flee command, or zoning to the next area will catch them up. FF XII gives you more options then some people can handle. In FF XIII there is no way to deal with the limitations of this hold-your-hand RPG. Both control and gameplay are highly restrictive. If I could have edited or turned OFF the AI and controlled everything manualy FF XIII would have been heaps better. Both are features found in FF XII.
Difficulty wise FF1 was the only FF game I had issues living in. That is because I was pushing myself to go to places too early in the game. FF XII has portions of it that allow such behavior. In one playthrough, I got the best gear in the game very early and it was a blast from the past that reminded me of FF1. The normal game FF XII didn't offer any significant challenges above the average FF title. Other then Odin, FF XIII was a walk in the park and this makes it the easiest game in the FF series. Odin is much stronger, compared to your party, then bosses before and after the esper. Part of this is because the AI in the game is too stupid to heal properly and part is because the boss Odin if *bleep*ing buff and you have no viable option to heal with another person. SPAM ITEMS TO COMPENSATE FOR FAIL AI. Then when you get the esper he is a wimp. I knew it was comming but I laughed at this.
quote sephiroth_campbellYou play the game with no optional boss and can finish it without the use of the weapon level up system. To get cash to level up your weapons, you kill optional mobs. Now you can kill stronger mobs and get bigger money. So now you have maxed out weapons to kill a boss that was already easy enough to kill and no other target that realy needs it. How is that not considered pointless leveling?
Now the weapon level up system is more simplistic then it is in other games like Dark Cloud or Rogue galaxy. In these games it wasn't pointless to level up your weapons. When weapons leveled up they gained characteristics based on how you leveled them up. There were more types of characteristics that would transfer over from generation to generation then are in FF XIII. These games were action-RPGs for the PS2. With any luck, square will put out an action-RPG that is at least as good as those games.

sorry i did mean FFXIII
but the whole game was pointless abart from the story which was ok i guess but thats it it was like they took some bad and good points from the previous and merged them all together
i think the best would be
materia system from ff7
card game from ff8
sphere grid and break hp/damage limit from ffx
the quckinings from ff12
millions of side quests
standard time based atb (like ff12)
i think the final product with the above would be immense gaming and you maintain total control over everything with the battling and you havce plenty of things to do in other words the exacct opposite of FFXIII

I am afraid future games comming out will not have the substance I have come to expect from a Square game. It wasn't just the story that they got lost in. The graphics of the PS3 seems to mezmorize them into stupidity. If this keeps going I will just wait for them to release the theatrical version of the
To fix FF XIII you change one thing. AI edit. Either they do it or give the option to edit or not use the AI at all. I give credit where credit is due. The storyline was good. If a game has shit gameplay, it is shit reguardless of anything else it might have. For me it is always that simple. No bonus features and the grinding to buff up your weapons for no reason only exasorbates the issue at hand.
quote sephiroth_campbellHere I will agree with Square. If every game was the same, it would get old. That being said FFX, FFXII, and FFXIII all use the sphere grid. A shift in the skill system to that of FF7 or FF2 would be a welcome change. The skill systems in these games have nothing to do with classes and offer flexibility. This would be a great idea for FF XV.
Optional sidequests of some kind help enhance the main game. It adds a level of depth and replayability to a game. Examples here: FF6/7 arena, FF8 card game, FFX blitzball, and FFXII hunts. It just depends on what type of sidequest you like to play. Here is why having a few is a great idea. FF VII had more then your typical game.
I recomend you play Rogue Galaxy. You will then think ATB style games are shit. Action-RPG games are the way to go and Rogue Galaxy offers this. FF XIII Versus might be one idk I haven't seen enough on the game to confirm my hopes. The claims of seemless transitions you hear from versus staff have already been a reality on the PS2 thanks to RG. It could be an amazing game if they manage to do it right.
The KH staff working on FF XIII versus doesn't bother me as much as you might think. I banned the KH games out of principle and inevitability. I deduced the first game looked promising and the games after that would be shit. At some point they might come back to the level of the first game. My theory was that Disneys involvement would cause a reduced quality of game. More involvement means a worse game. In the first game they would be eager to learn. In the further episodes they would 'think' they knew something. Track data for this theory was based on the games that both company had released and my personal knowlege about how humans function. Disney games rely upon the characters alone to sale the game, as they do for all of their products. The gameplay in almost every Disney game is shit. What I find troubling is the lack of attention to the gameplay in FF XIII. They may have caught something from Disney. I shall have to screen my Square games more carefully.

quote GuardianGriffenFor 13 or 12? assuming you mean 13 because that's where most of your aim of degradation of FF goes. I'd call it more like FF tactician, it's less about personal input into the menu and more about the attitude/strategy you carry towards different battles and adapting. I personally think you're over complaining about the auto battle system and playing as one character. Not saying I wouldn't want to switch mid battle but this change seems to of affected you more than a lot of other players, majority of which have widely accepted it.
quote GuardianGriffenWow really? Why not?
quote GuardianGriffenI do.
quote BakkaAbove was the main point I wanted to make, I said that stuff about 13 being superior on character/back-story etc regardless of whether I believe it or not(despite it being true about a strong point for 13). I wanted to show how I could list a few(2 stretched to 3) things to make a blanket statement FF12=bad FF13=good. Thus mocking that reasoning because I think it's very oversimplified.

i do see yopur point for the whole gameplay not being paid any attention but maybe they wanted the game to look good with the cgi rather anything else and hope for the same as FFVIII they done the same thing and just threw a few parts together and hoped but in that instance it worked! FFVIII was a great game but FFXIII was the worst i was playing it again and now that im playing it again i want to turn it off it's a movie not a game i play for 10 mins and bam cutscene...theres no actual aspect of playing it just watching....pointless!
im not saying throw all of the old stuff in newer games but why not add 1 or 2? after all they done it with FFXIII they copied 10 just sperated it into portions so it was wierder.
but most people seem to agree that the best way to gain stats/abilities where by adding them and coming up with combinations such as in FFVII and FFVIII where you could modify and alter your characters to what you want not just throw it all in and eventually be a good all round player for example in FFXII people loved the idea of having a healer, attacker and a tank and whooped everything easily but mine was have 2 attackers and 1 healer...so unless square make the game for everyone where you can alter everything to do with your characters not everyone will be happy...

If you are starving, other things don't matter as much.
If a video game has no gameplay, it is a POS. That's how I roll.
quote sephiroth_campbellThey sort of do.. just not the ones we want them to. FFX has been redone to death because they fell in love with it. I hope the honeymoon is over, because I would like to play another game now.
You know those annoying barriers that don't let your party advance to harder areas... FF1 doesn't have those.
FF2's system is uber cool and makes sence. As you use stats they increase. There are no character levels. Magic and weapon skills level up to 16. They redid this game for the PSx and more recently for the GBAorDS I forget which cause I have a DS and it plays both kinds of games.
FF3,5,Tactics deals with multiple classes that everyone gets to use. You can take skills from other classes and put them together to make a stronger character. Thunder God Cid is the most powerful character in the FF series. Tactics is the only game you ride Chocobos in combat.
If you like FF Tactics Atlus games have some amazing and similar games. Nippon Ichi software created multiple titles you might want to check out. Makai Kingdom - FFT with more vehicles and even buildings in the combat system. Disgea 1,2,3 - FFT + FFX + stronger optional bosses.
quote sephiroth_campbellFF XII - Enter the gambit system... The US version of this game is badass.
Tactical games such as FF3,5,Tactics are also very much like this.
quote BakkaYou are starting to understand why I don't like FF XIII then?
Video game - interactive media - me happy if gameplay good.
Movie - non-interactive media - me happy if storyline good.
Both games can be auto-battled to some degree.
The player has to choose to auto-battle FF XII, so it is the gamers fault. There can be a smooth transition between the auto-battle setup and manual combat.
The auto-battle is forced upon you, along with the rest of the game, in FF XIII. Manualy inputing commands for the ONE character you do get is clumbsy. A team is stronger then an individual. You aren't allowed to swap which character you control. This game relys upon AI more then any other game I have seen and it fails accordingly. There is no option to edit the gambits of the AI classes you do have.
quote BakkaThere are two factors here. You assume I am as biased against FF XIII as you are against FF XII. My priority is and always is the gameplay. If I don't like the storyline, I will mute it or skip the movies. I didn't do this for FF XIII. I played X-2 muted and skipped any movies that irked me, untill the dress-class system didn't interest me anymore. I didn't like the swapping in the middle of battle your classes sort of thing. Just not my cup of tea. I do realize the similarities between the two, but am not useing that as a reason they were 'bad'. The way they swapped the classes in FF XIII made more sence, but X-2 had better control = better gameplay.

If you haven't been keeping up with Beck's online-only "Record Club" enterprise, here's a quick recap: Teaming up with indie luminaries, Beck has created one-day one-off projects covering entire albums, then releasing the studio sessions one track per week via Vimeo clips. The first few efforts gave at least a little insight into his influences, since you'd expect anyone of Beck's lineage to play such classics as The Velvet Underground and Nico and The Songs of Leonard Cohen with proper reverence. The Record Club just wrapped up a rendering of INXS's Kick, which might've seemed kitschy if not for the real effort put into it by the likes of St. Vincent's Annie Clark, Liars, and Os Mutantes; check out the surprisingly tender version of "Never Tear Us Apart".

Back in 1981, tonal guitarist Glenn Branca released a droning, no wave masterpiece called The Ascension. Four electric guitars took the lead on five instrumentals while bass and drums bashed out mechanically precise rhythms. Branca's reputation and compositions grew, as did the criticisms held against him. John Cage openly disparaged his style and approach while Branca himself turned to large electric guitar symphonies. If you want to get a good argument going, debate on whether or not Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth would've had a career had it not been for an album like The Ascension.
So, why is it that, in 2010, when Glenn Branca assembles another four guitar, bass and drum ensemble to record a sequel to The Ascension, hardly anyone says anything? The album is straightforwardly enough called The Ascension: The Sequel, and it seemed to drop with almost no fanfare at all. A small amount of fans are offering their opinions at rateyourmusic.com here, but professional reviews are absent. It's puzzling, considering some would look at this event the same way a film buff would look at The Godfather, Part II.
Birmingham, England's Deluka brought their energetic pop to US shores last year with a five-song EP and they are coming back in a big way this fall with their debut full-length album. Deluka has had a lot of early success, placing a tune in a Rockstar Games video game ("Sleep Is Impossible") and getting remixes of "Cascade" on Spinner and RCRD LBL!.
Today we're premiering a new track, "Nevada", from the upcoming album and also offering a few past highlights as well. "Nevada" is a slice of glittery, electro pop and sounds like a future club hit in the making. The NME has had the best description of the band so far, labeling them as "girl-charged electro-skuzz punk, akin to Ladytron snacking on The Killers for brunch".
When considering past Fourth of Julys, the tune that usually brings a star-spangled tear to my eye is Neil Diamond's "America". Something about this clip, framed in a tasteless, red, white, and blue banner, showcases Diamond's whipped-back mane and shredded voice befittingly. The video encapsulates what I loved about my parents' Fourth-of-July barbecues as a kid. A group of adults could usually be found in the backyard donning similar hairdos, smoking endless cigarettes between highballs and hotdogs. After enough drinks the adults would frequently wind up dancing on the lawn like the middle-aged women in the audience of this clip, lacking rhythm, but full of American spirit.
Tributes on music award shows don't always do the artist justice or give the fans a show to remember, but Prince's tribute last Sunday at the BET Awards was one of the best tributes I've seen in a long, long time. It's been almost a week and I still can't forget how much fun it was to watch Prince watch other artists sing, reinterpret and celebrate his songs in fine fashion. There were many reason the tribute was so good, but for me the main reason the Prince tribute was a classic award show moment was because it gave us a glimpse into how Prince might of responded as a fan at some of his favorite concerts.
As the medley of songs unfolded, it was like we were watching Prince voyage back to the moment when he first went through his own fan-to-artist live concert transformation. Rarely do we get to see artists respond like this at a live show, let along their own music being celebrated by other artists. I can't remember seeing an artist be so moved at an award show like Prince was as he sat in the front row bobbing his head, grinning with pleasure and feeling the groove. And what I love the most was having the chance to see Prince get jazzed emotionally and then physically respond as he watched other artists, who he has inspired, re-inspired him all over again. I still don't know what was better, watching Prince's reactions or watching the other artist's performance themselves.
Either way, it was an excellent live music moment, and it all climaxed when Patti LaBelle flung her shoe and Prince caught it during finale of "Purple Rain". These moments are few and far between during award show tributes. And like Lady's Gaga's performance at the 2009 AMA's, I definitely have a bit more faith in the ability of award shows to deliver the goods for fans at home and the artist watching in the seats.
If you missed the BET award show you can see the whole Prince Tribute on the BET website.

"The times, they are a changin'" wrote Bob Dylan, and that is certainly true of healthcare regulations in Europe right now. With major changes to the regulatory system coming this year, it figures that there is a lot of confusion about what this means for various existing regulations and legislation, and none more so than UDIs.
The FDA deadline for Class II devices is fast approaching later this year, and while progress had been made last year by the IMDRF regarding EU-specific UDI regulations, the situation is still very much up in the air. Meanwhile countries like Turkey are mandating their own requirements, e.g. 2D barcodes.
So what can we do at this stage?
The 2016 European UDIs & Traceability for Medical Devices Forum will bring together regulatory experts from public and regulatory bodies, healthcare organisations and device manufacturers to discuss how best to prepare and react to the European regulatory changes with regards to UDIs.
The FDA UDI Regulations - Class II Deadline This Year!
Of course, for those companies that are FDA-registered, selling or operating in the US, irrespective of the EU regulatory situation you have a deadline fast approaching - the UDI deadline for Class II devices.
For small to mid-sized manufacturers, if you haven't already started your UDI implementation now is definitely the time - depending on your SKUs and number of sites, implementation of either printer/label tech on the lines or software infrastructure to handle the GUDID database submissions can take anywhere from 3-6 months.
For larger manufacturers with higher SKUs, you will no doubt be most or part of the way through your implementation by now, but this is no time to sit on your laurels - there are always ways to improve your project, and challenges during execution to overcome (or avoid altogether)!
And what about direct part marking, what's happening there?
What if you get audited by the FDA? There has already been at least one FDA 483 warning letter citing UDI non-compliance; what can you do to make sure you're protected?
Through regulatory discussions, panels, roundtables and practical case studies, this forum is tailored and uniquely positioned to highlight the state of urgency in the industry, address implementation challenges - plus maximise the ROI of your UDI implementation in the future, ensuring it continues to drive business value.

Arianny Celeste Schools Brittney Palmer
Recently, I've been giving the title of hottest MMA ring girl to Brittney Palmer because not long ago Arianny Celeste put out a terrible music video which was a major turn off. Well, here they are together at the Hard Rock Hotel and it's clearly evident that Brittney was out "boobed" by Arianny. I don't know what the hell she was thinking, but showing up to an event wearing jeans and a blazer alongside your biggest competition is just not good business sense. No wonder Arianny has double the amount of Twitter followers. I hope Brittney has learned something from this.

A Champion to Announce a Champion
New York, NY, August 2, 2010 - To launch the Ultimate Tough GX56 timepiece, G-Shock has recruited L.A. Laker and two-time NBA Champion Lamar Odom to show off their newest timepiece. Sharing undeniable characteristics with the most formidable forward in the league, the GX56 is built to take on the most relentless competitors with both precision and unmatched toughness.
At 6'10", Lamar has the quickness, ball-handling, passing and shooting skills of a guard, and melds them effortlessly with the post-up moves of a power forward. He is the consummate teammate, providing whatever it is that his team requires, all with a selfless passion for the game of basketball. Off the court, Lamar helps support underprivileged youth in New York and Los Angeles through his charity, Cathy's Kids, and is also an actively-working entrepreneur looking to make his mark in entertainment and fashion.
Ke$ha, best known for her chart-topping singles "Tik Tok" and "Your Love is My Drug," officially announced her roles as Brand Ambassador and designer at Casio's annual "Shock the World" press event in New York City. The singer also served as the evening's entertainment, performing a set of hits for press and fans.
In addition, while on tour in Sacramento, CA earlier in the year, Ke$ha participated in an advertising photo shoot, accessorizing with a variety of Baby-G watches set to hit shelves beginning Fall of this year.
"Lamar Odom embodies the G-Shock Gentleman, active with an eye for distinct fashion," said Shigenori Itoh, Vice President of Casio's Timepiece Division. "His commitment and aggressive, relentless playing style make the GX56 a perfect match for his extraordinary standards."
Impressive in size, the GX56 is the largest case design (55.5mm x 53.6mm x 17.5mm) in G-Shock history, nearly forty percent larger than the classic DW5600. A new triple density, triple layer structure elevates the GX56 to a new level of shock resistance. In addition to unmatched shock resistance, it features advanced Self-Charging, Tough Solar Power technology for unwavering reliability on and off the court.
Self-Charging, Tough Solar Power - A tiny, solar panel combined with a large-capacity rechargeable battery enables a variety of energy-hungry functions to operate smoothly. The result is an impressive solar timepiece that assures reliable timekeeping and greatly reduces the need for battery change.
Additional GX56 features also include: Mud Resistance, Auto EL Backlight, World Time (31TZ/48 City + UTC), 4 Daily Alarms and 1 Snooze Alarm, Hourly Time Signal, 1/100th Sec. Stopwatch, Countdown Timer, 12/24 Hr. Formats, and Mineral Glass face for increased scratch resistance.
Available in heritage black (GX56-1A) and hazard orange (GX56-4) for $150 at select Macy's, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Tourneau and other fashion boutiques and www.gshock.com.

Are you feeling that you are a target of Unjust treatment at work? If you have a boss or even office mate that is bothering you or you are required to work with an 3rd party service provider or purchaser who actually attempts to intimidate you or perhaps is harassing to you, it is time to speak to a labor law attorney for more information on Hostile work environment laws. It is not important who's accountable for this sort of behavior, given that the target feels as if she or he is being intimidated, abused or even genuinely offended through their behavior. Both the victim and any witness to this action remains safe with these legal guidelines, as the legal system understands individuals who speak up for the unwilling recipient might also suffer some consequences should they speak up. They aren't originally a primary objective of the conduct, but can end up being a target as a result of their defense of the unwilling recipient. Even though there won't be specific federal legal guidelines set up to protect men and women in cases like this, federal discrimination laws cover circumstances such as this. The discrimination might be dependent upon the man or woman's sex, age, color, race, national origin, faith, disability or even genetic makeup. Additionally, any kind of retaliation against a person who reveals an infringement will be forbidden under these types of laws and regulations. The one exemption to this will be those who serve inside the military services, because there are distinct legal guidelines for the people throughout military service. In addition, to be deemed a inhospitable work area, the sufferer has to be confronted with this kind of action purposefully, and also it needs to be persistent, severe and also repeating. On top of that, it has to interfere with the witness or victim's capacity to do work. Last but not least, the worker needs to be under the impression that she or he has to tolerate this particular action should they want to maintain their work. Many take a look at civil rights as well as discrimination laws whenever determining if they are working in a harmful workplace, yet other laws and regulations may also be used. For this reason, it is best to talk to an attorney at law who actually works in concert with employment law scenarios regularly. On top of that, a victim or witness must understand exactly what steps they ought to take while revealing this behavior. Doing so guarantees a solid court case can be built plus the discrimination and / or harassment stops.

Liberal Opinion Week
"Yoshikado-sensei said, 'They're still there. Spear them! Spear them!' and it was really fun. I was tired, but I realized that even one person can kill a lot of the enemy."
So wrote Mihoko Nakane, a 10-year-old Japanese girl, in her diary in July 1945. She was describing the hand-to-hand combat training she and her classmates were getting for the "decisive battle" to be fought if and when the U.S. and its allies invaded mainland Japan.
It's one of many sobering vignettes recounted in Samuel Yamashita's recently published "Daily Life in Wartime Japan." Drawing on more than 100 wartime diaries, Yamashita offers snapshots of how Japanese civilians mobilized for war, celebrated their military's initial stunning victories, obeyed (or resisted) their government's edicts, and endured the tightening circles of hardship that culminated in the collapse of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

The success of Bernie Sanders' insurgency is a marvel and an achievement.
His showing is a mark of the anger and frustration felt by so many Americans over the abuses of capitalism that led to the crash of 2008. With the help of millions of voters, especially the young, he has broadened a political debate long hemmed in by the dominance of conservative assumptions and the stifling of progressive aspirations.
Sanders has put a progressive alternative to Obamacare (a single-payer system) back on the political agenda. He has offered a sweeping plan to provide free public college education for all Americans, and spoken indefatigably about the corrupting influence of money on our political system.
After hearing an endless stream of preposterous attacks on President Obama as a socialist, we now know what the real thing looks like. And many more Americans now realize that the words "democratic socialism" refer to popular movements in rather attractive places (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) and not to the old Soviet Union.
Internet researchers have long known that the Chinese government manipulates content on the Internet. Not only does it engage in heavy censorship, but it also employs hundreds of thousands of people, the so-called "50 cent army," to write comments on the Internet. New research by Gary King, Jennifer Pan and Margaret Roberts (whom I'll refer to as KPR for convenience) uses sophisticated techniques of gathering and analyzing massive amounts of data to tell us what is going on.
- The fake commenters are being paid by the government.
At this point, the best thing Bernie Sanders's supporters can probably do for his reputation is to vote against him in the remaining primaries and caucuses.
Hillary Clinton long ago wrapped up the nomination. Tuesday's results -- her narrow victory in Kentucky and his win by about 10 percentage points in Oregon -- doesn't change anything: It's over. If you include super-delegates, Clinton is only about 100 delegates away from clinching, and with Democratic proportional allocation she is basically guaranteed to get there.
Yet the closer Clinton gets to her official victory, the more Sanders and his campaign act as if the nomination was unfairly stolen from him -- that somehow the doors of the party have been unfairly closed against his followers. This culminated in an ugly scene in Nevada last weekend, with Sanders supporters threatening Democratic Party officials there.
(WARNING: this post contains plot spoilers to "Captain America: Civil War." Also, this column is called 'Spoiler Alerts,' for goodness sake. You get the idea.)
The plot question that sets "Captain America: Civil War" into motion is the very important question of whether the Avengers should comply with an international regime that will monitor and deploy superheroes. Tony Stark -- a.k.a. Iron Man -- wants to comply with the Sokovia Accords, designed to put constraints on the superheroes. He sees the way the political winds are blowing after some costly collateral damage in New York, D.C., Sokovia and Lagos, and thinks that agreeing now will be better than agreeing later. Steve Rogers -- a.k.a. Captain America -- rejects being the puppets of a remote international regime. He worries that a U.N.-controlled body will use the Avengers to serve its own political agenda and not do the right thing.
If "the truth is out there," as they used to say on the old "X-Files" program, Hillary Clinton says she's eager to expose it.
No, she's not talking about her controversial email server, although an FBI investigation is looking into that, too.
She's talking about UFOs (unidentified flying objects) or, as she corrected Jimmy Kimmel when he recently asked her on his late-night-TV show about possible visitors from other planets, "unexplained aerial phenomena" -- or U.A.P.
"That's the latest nomenclature," she said, scoring points, no doubt, with UFO -- or UAP -- enthusiasts.
Barring any threats to national security, the former secretary of state said, she would open up government files on little green visitors or whoever else may have paid us a visit from other planets.
It would be easier, I suppose, than opening up the texts to her high-priced speeches to Goldman Sachs, as requested by her Democratic rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Pouty, whiney, spoiled-bratism isn't nice coming from a four-year-old. But it's altogether grotesque when it comes from billion-dollar corporations like Uber and Lyft.
The two car-for-hire companies call their service "ridesharing." But these internet-based brats are takers, not sharers: Much of the fares they charge riders ends up in the pockets of their hedge-fund owners.
Still, they insist that they're new-economy, tech-driven geniuses — and that they're above the fusty old local laws that other transportation companies follow. Uber and Lyft have made it corporate policy to throw hissy fits when cities — from Los Angeles to Atlanta, Houston to Portland — have dared to even propose rules to protect customers and drivers.
The latest tantrum from the Silicon Valley giants came in Austin, when the city council adopted a few modest, perfectly reasonable rules — like fingerprint-based background checks for drivers.
The last few weeks have offered Americans a chilling glimpse of three faces of Donald Trump: the stonewaller, the shape-shifter and the liar.
Trump the stonewaller has been on display in his refusal to release his tax returns. "It's none of your business," Trump flatly told ABC's George Stephanopoulos when asked about his effective tax rate.
Stephanopoulos: "Yes or no, do you believe voters have a right to see your tax returns before they make a final decision?"
Trump: "I don't think they do. But I do say this, I will really gladly give them."
Sure, he'd be happy to -- except that he isn't. And it is our business. Voters are entitled to know this information about a candidate for president, a person who would help steer the nation's finances. For decades, presidential candidates have routinely made this material available.
In his interview with the Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly on Tuesday night, Donald Trump tried to pull off a win-win straight out of "The Art of the Deal": at once trying to prove that he was a friend of women and that no woman gets the best of him. It's not clear how well he succeeded, but he was able to put an end to his feud with a star newswoman and make nice with a network he will need in the general election.
The dealmaker was careful to give Kelly something: She got to prove her chops as uber-anchor, hosting her first prime-time special like Barbara Walters lassoing a big player as lead-off batter and peppering him with touchy-feely questions, garnering sky-high ratings.
Kelly stopped short of asking what kind of tree Trump would choose to be, but she did go beyond his building a wall. Regrets? He has a few but he wouldn't name them. When asked if he'd been hurt emotionally, he told Kelly he'd have to get back to her. That's not likely, though. He said looking backward was "not healthy."
The Obama administration's new overtime rule was finalized Tuesday night, and it will go into effect in the nation's workplaces on Dec. 1 of this year. I'll get to the details in a moment, but this update of a vital labor standard is a great advance for working people. I'd go as far as to say that this may be the administration's most significant action on behalf of middle-class paychecks.
Here are the basics of the final rule:
-- The new salary threshold is $47,476, or $913 per week, just about double the current weekly threshold of $455.
To prevent abuse of the overtime law, which maintains that all hourly workers must be paid "time-and-a-half" (1.5 times their base hourly wage) for weekly hours worked beyond 40, employers can't simply make someone exempt by paying them a salary. Salaried workers whose pay is below the OT threshold must also get OT pay. The new threshold represents the 40th percentile pay of full-time, salaried workers in the southern region of the United States. I know: why 40th, why southern, etc.?

"Wrong Window" may owe its name and premise to Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film thriller "Rear Window," but that's pretty much where the similarities end. The 2008 play by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore, which opens Friday night at Curtain Call Theatre in Latham, begins with a man named Jeff looking out his window into the window of another apartment and thinking that his neighbor may have murdered his wife. That's how Hitchcock started his ...

Milwaukee music stalwarts join forces on 'Plays Well With Others'
Local electric guitar whiz Greg Koch called in a bunch of favors for the Greg Koch Band's latest album, "Plays Well With Others." Guest contributors range from New Orleans funk musician Jon Cleary to Paul Barrere from acclaimed genre-blending rock band Little Feat to Leonard Cohen's musical director, Roscoe Beck. There's also an appearance from blues guitarist and singer Joe Bonamassa, who is so popular he sold out the 2,500-seat Riverside Theater this year.
But the most important friend on Koch's new album is closer to home: John Sieger, frontman for local Americana band Semi-Twang. "Plays Well With Others" marks the first time these two local music heavyweights, who have 24 albums between them, have joined forces. Koch wrote the bulk of the music, while Sieger handled the lyrics and sang on all the tracks except one. "I got possessive," Sieger said, half-jokingly.

I am 5'5, 105 lbs, with 32A breasts and wanting a full C cup. I will be having 400CC silicone breast implants, Modplus. Would this give me natural look?
Naturally Looking Full C Cup with 400cc Silicone Breast Implants?
Doctor Answers 22
Natural C Cup
There will be absolutely nothing natural-looking about a 400 cc M+ silicone breast implant on your very lean frame! With a size 32 chest/bra, cup size increases rapidly with even modest volume increases. Larger M+ silicone implants will be too wide for your native breast width, imparting a matronly look to your breasts. Further, these wider implants will encroach upon the armpit area because the implant has to go somewhere. Increasing the volume will most certainly require a High Profile device, especially with Mentor implants. Please consider the long-tern effects of large implants on your soft tissues! You will have ample opportunities to adjust the volume during future implant exchanges, especially if your weight changes in the years to come. With your build, backing off 100 cc or so can still provide a very desirable result. Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done. Speak with a surgeon who has your best interests in mind.
How to achieve a Full C with Breast augmentation - Look at your plastic surgeons results to see what a "C" means to you
The actual size of a breast implant, measured in cc's, is really not very descriptive of what a breast augmentation will look like, or what the cup size will be. It is all relative to the size of the breast and the size of the patient preoperatively. A tall, broad-shouldered patient with small A-cup breasts may require 450cc implants to achieve a C-cup breast volume postoperatively, while a shorter patient with medium B-cup breasts may only need a 250cc implant to achieve a C-cup breast volume. The Full C seems to be one of the mist requested bra sizes, yet it means different things to different people.
If a natural appearance is the goal, then the way to get the size right is to 'try out' different implant volumes and profiles in the operating room. Once the implant pockets have been created, sterile sizers can be placed in the implant pockets, and the upper half of the O.R. table raised so that the resulting breast appearance can be assessed with the patient in an upright 'sitting' position (chest fully upright) while under anesthesia. These sizers are available not only for each implant size but also for each implant profile: low, moderate and high (in this practice we use high-profile implants only in rare instances). Inflatable sizers are used for saline implant augmentations, and pre-filled gel sizers are used for gel implant augmentations.
For any patient there is obviously a range of implant volumes that would be considered natural-appearing, and a volume at which the upper pole of the breast begins to look very unnatural. While one patient may seek an augmentation that is 'perfectly natural', another may be interested in a result that is more on 'the full side of natural', and many patients do ask that the largest implant volume be selected that does not produce an unnatural fullness in the upper pole. Look at many, many before and after images. Using images from your surgeon's before and after gallery is a very valuable means of communicating your goals.

Naturally occuring C cup.
For your given height, you far less than your ideal body weight of 130 lbs.This likely means that any implant placed in a small breast with a small amount of body fat will have an obvious augmentation appearance. Statisitically you would achieve a C cup with a 350cc Implant. The 400cc implant is likely to be somewhat obvious.

400 cc implants not the most natural look for a petite woman
There are really a couple of questions here. One is what you mean by a "natural" look. An interesting study from a few years ago found that what plastic surgeons consider natural was not the same as what patients really wanted when they said the natural look is what they were after. patients tended to select more upper fullness (and so a larger size.) However, 400 cc breasts on a woman of 105 lbs. is just not something that occurs naturally very often. If beleivability is what you want then 400 cc is too large.
The other thing is cup size, which relates to the size of the chest as much as the volume of the breasts. A C cup on one person is a different look than someone of different stature. It's a better idea to focus on the look you want without reference to cup size.
Naturally-looking full 'C' cup with 400cc silicone breast implants?
Consult with a surgeon who will discuss the various options, implants, incision location, implant placement, etc. it is difficult to give you recommendations without an examination and measurements. Good luck and best wishes for a terrific result!
Implant Selection Process
Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.
Dr. Gill

Breast Implant Size
The size of the implants are based on a combination of a patient's goals and objectives and her anatomy. In order to provide a natural looking augmentation, the surgeon needs to evaluate many factors including soft tissue coverage, skin laxity, chest wall width, breast imprint width, the shape of the breasts and relative level of constriction to ensure that the breast implants are appropriate for your body.

The right size for you
Web reference: http://drnichter.com/breast-augmentation/
Cup size
First, cup size is determined by each store and even in each store you will find different cups that fit you. For example, Victoria's Secret has different lines and each line has a slightly different fit. There is even a store in Manhattan that will tell you you are a C cup even if you are flat chested just to give you an ego boost.
Second, each patient likes a cup size that fits HER best in her own opinion. I've had patients who are clearly in the A cup range who don't mind "swimming" in their big bras filled with "chicken cutlets" and I've had other patients who were clearly in the D cup range who like the look of "popping out" of their bras so they wear B cup bras.
Since cup size is both made up by stores and based on the individual style of the patient, it is impossible to predict.
With that said, I use cup size as an idea of what style patients want. Meaning, if a patient is an A cup and says "I want a D," it's a certain implant, whereas the same patient saying "I want a B" is a different implant.
Hope that helps.
Dr. Freiman
Natural Looking Full C Cup, Will 400cc Silicone Breast Implants Achieve that Result for my Breast Augmentation?
Natural appearing can vary from person to person depending their pre-operative size and breast tissue. No question that silicone breast implants tend to give patients a more natural and soft appearance than saline implants. With silicone implants patients can typically go a little bigger and still have a soft natural appearance compared saline implants.
An average implant in the U.S. is around 375cc, so 400cc implants are well within a very common implant size. However patients can have implants that range from 200cc to up to 800cc depending on the their aesthetic goals from their breast augmentation.
I would advise you to do a couple things to help yourself decided what you implant is best for your breast augmentation. One, be open about your aesthetic goals with our plastic surgeon, then he or she will be able to guide you in choosing the correct implant. I typically have patients do at least two sessions of sizing to with the Mentor Sizing System. This system allows patients to come into the office and try on implants with a bra and tank top. They then are able to look at themselves in the mirror and have a realistic idea of what the implants will look like on them as a 400cc implant will look different on different people. The reason I typically have people do this more than once is that the first time people try on implants they tend to feel like everything is big because they are not used to it.
Lastly I would recommend not getting too caught up in cup size as this will vary from bra to bra. Also patients can talk themselves out of the implant that is goal to help them achieve their aesthetic goals form their breast augmentation because of trying to pic a specific cup size. Looking in the mirror and just deciding if you like the way you look in my experience has helped patients find the implant that reaches their goals.
Please spend time discussing your breast implant options with your board certified plastic surgeon.

ANNISTON, Alabama — Authorities say jobs for more than 500 workers could end this spring and summer at the Anniston Army Depot.
The facility's commander, Col. Timothy Sullivan, announced the impending layoffs to employees this week on closed-circuit television.
The Anniston Star reports that Sullivan said on the broadcast that "the numbers are just not good for 2013."
A Wednesday statement from the depot's public affairs office Wednesday said the base's temporary and "term" workers are the ones facing potential unemployment.
Shrene Funderburg, acting president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 1945, said she'd been told that 568 workers' jobs are at stake.
Funderburg said she was informed about the layoffs Tuesday afternoon in a meeting with Sullivan.
