After the deception following the LHC incident on September
19th, the CMS collaboration went through an important challenge by
collecting cosmic data for four weeks. Nearly 300 millions cosmic
events were collected using the full detector at the nominal magnetic
field of 3.8T. Lessons and results from that exercise will be
presented together with preliminary plans for 2009.

I will review the basic elements of explicit and spontaneous
supersymmetry breaking. I will explain F-term and D-term supersymmetry
breaking with pedagological examples. I will discuss possible
applications in model building and related problems, revisiting the
gauge mediation scenario. Finally, I will introduce mechanisms of
dynamical supersymmetry breaking.
