Soul Calibur V is the fighting game that almost never was. Tago Hisaharu Producer speaks through it
fighting games and beat-em-ups are like Marmite, inspiring both the fanaticism or complete indifference. If your tastes tend toward the former, which will surely be aware of the Soul Calibur series of games. They first appeared in arcades in 1996 (then called Soul Edge) and one of the few games that add weapons to the Japanese beat-em-up plan, quickly established a loyal following. Now publisher and developer Namco Bandai Soul Project apply the finishing touches on Soul Calibur V, which hits PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 February 3, 2012. An event in London gave us the opportunity to put our hands on it and a test of its producer, Hisaharu Tago.
people with an encyclopedic knowledge of the world of fighting games may find this a bit surprising - from 2008 Soul Calibur IV version of the game the group was broken and it seemed that the days of the franchise were made. But what happened Tago said: ". The idea behind the team was to create a new IP address There are many members of the team very, very talented Soul Calibur, so at the end of Soul Calibur IV we believe that time could extend this talent and use it elsewhere. However, I became the producer of Soul Calibur V and reassemble all the world and thus we are here. "
Tago
community stresses that fans Soul Calibur played a huge role in this turn:. "At the end of Soul Calibur IV, we believe that the community was not large, but we got a notice for comments, and we received an incredible amount -.. much more than we expected at this time that he was motivated to move forward "
Hands-on
As expected, given the source, the players who have played a previous game of the Soul Calibur feel comfortable with Soul Calibur V. Like its predecessors, is a fighting game classic Japanese style in which the characters in the spotlight. They range from small and agile in all giants and heavy, with a fighting style and individual choice of weapons, swords to guns. There is a story mode typically baroque. You can activate special moves and once you have completed your meter, an attack called critical point of view that is spectacular in appearance and effect on your opponent.
as guests
Soul Calibur series has a long tradition of including guest characters other game franchises - Link, Darth Vader and Kratos God of War took place in previous versions. In the case of London, intrusion Tago-san revealed that Soul Calibur V will be nothing less than Ezio Auditore di Firenze, the current star games creed of the assassin. Discusses Tago become a murderer of Florence in a soul Calibur character V: "It is an action game character, so when it comes in a fighting game, what kind of strategies will be able to use to do this was fun type? things. And, of course, the character of Ubisoft, and really is love. I understand that, too, because I do the characters and I really love. "Carthage said Ezio will be able to use six weapons - more than any other character in the game -. Including guns and knives hidden, and you will be able to fight more effectively with short and long distances
Nick Cowen talks about Sefton Hill, director of studies at play Rocksteady, to make the best Batman game of all time
When we talked to Dax Ginn (Marketing Director Rocksteady games)
earlier this year
, sounded as if you started working on Batman: Arkham City before Batman: Arkham Asylum is complete. Games were developed in collaboration?
No, nothing is developed in tandem! Ideas were really kicking at that time - it certainly has not begun development. As a study that tends to focus on one thing and everything is focused on finishing Arkham Asylum.
Once done, start thinking about where we could go. Arkham City was a rough idea of ??what we wanted. We did some conceptual drawings for it - you can actually find in the game - but that's what we get with it before Arkham Asylum has been done. (Laughter) We're not smart enough to develop two sets of this size at the same time
Dax also said that the game was due to technical considerations. Made to cover some of the gadgets of Batman and abilities? Have you had any ideas he had put aside and wait for them in this game?
never really a concept waiting to be honest. Arkham City started with a blank slate, in fact, mainly because we firmly believe that we must make the best game we can do. This is what we do with all our means. If we have a good idea that we want in the game, put it in the game, unless you have literally five minutes before release. I try to squeeze in every idea that it is possible that after the way the production team said: "This must stop Good !'.
There is no notion of retaining all the ideas. I think it is so rare that they have the ability to run a game that has this level of expectation that goes around. We must make the best game we could do - then we worry about what comes after
this in mind, is it a clue that landed on the editing room with Arkham City
was not true. What tends to happen is that we find some ideas, test them and then transformed into other types of things. Let's try something, decide that it was not very good, but we liked him a little ... Our process is very repetitive. There is nothing really all fall into our game completely formed. Could it be that the effect of a change or a mechanical device, but there is nothing to be rejected completely.
one of the strongest aspect of the game is the story that was written by (author of Batman The Animated Series) Paul Dini, but I guess you had an idea Arkham City where they wanted ground to cover before they are involved. Without being too spoilerific, there are some very important advances in the history of the game ...
[Laughs] Of course!
How many of these events were set in stone since the beginning? Did you know, for example, how I wanted the story to end?
knew from the start. Paul Dini has just flown in early development with a guy from DC, we work closely with, and we all started around ideas. We knew exactly where we wanted to go - without getting into spoilers -. Until the end
knew the major plot points, and the game developed meets our journey. So we started to learn the game of five or six main time, but the rest is due to the development process. There are many things in the game, if you play a second time will make more sense the second time you play.
Part
fun to play Batman villains to be with her ...
is probably
How
the hierarchy of evil that happened? Did you know exactly what villains who loved him and how that all locations in the plots and subplots? He made some bad guys start out as major players and have lowered their roles?
It tends to occur most back (laughs). We tend to have a nasty visit the room, then decided, "Hey we really like this character, we will give them more to do!". Once the characters were in the game, then you could use and develop their potential in the story a little more.
knew we wanted the Joker to the right from the start, for obvious reasons. We also wanted Two-Face and the Penguin, because both are great iconic characters Batman, and needed two player characters who believe they are fighting for control of the streets. All the bad guys from Batman, the two have more influence.
Hugo Strange
also came early. Was one of those questions that we had to "Who do you want to run the prison and would be an interesting challenge for Batman? We liked the idea of ??having a character who knew Batman was and could threaten a completely different way.
The Riddler in this game more important than trade in the last game, and many puzzles that makes you win trophies are terribly difficult to crack. He intended from the beginning? To punish players like that?

BlizzCon 2011: Study offers first panel designed to illuminate the history of its action RPG franchise, stating the eternal conflict, angels and demons.
DiabloIII_98390_embed.jpg">
Curiously, BlizzCon seven-year history, has never been a panel devoted explicitly to the tradition of the Diablo series. That changed today, however, as senior vice president in the history of Blizzard and franchise development Chris Metzen took the stage with Diablo III Kevin Martens lead content designer and senior designer Leonard Boyarsky world.
heroes face Azmodan and Belial. Metzen began the session with a sort of excuse for the large amount of tweaking was done in the tradition of Diablo before the third game's release. He said the franchise was developed by three different companies with different writers, eight novels, and as such, "was a sort of catastrophe." To tighten the universe, Blizzard had to spend a few retconning intentional, but stressed that the only study these changes to enhance the property. As an example of change, Blizzard gave an identity to the Ranger, who was the hero of Diablo. In the future, the universe implies that this character is a warrior from the original game, and was given the name Aiden. Metzen said that only one of the reasons for this change is that if history were to be counted Devil in a different environment, that character must be the starting point for this. He stressed that none of these developments is currently underway. First Science Conference, Metzen was launched in the eternal conflict, war is raging between the Heavens and the Burning Hells since the beginning of time. The motivation in this conflict is to take control of the Stone World. This artifact is a relic of the original conflict between the manifestations of good and evil. Contains an aspect of the Creator, and it can control shape reality at will. The World is Stone in the center of the universe, at a place called Pandemonium, and control of the force went back and forth between the High Heavens and Burning Hells over time. At present, control Pandemonium High Heaven, and under his reign that the angel Inarius abandoned the eternal conflict, and a faction of angels and demons stole the Stone of the world and led to the sanctuary. In this case, were mixed, the creation of humanity, and DNA has two angels and demons, fear that human beings may be stronger than they. This process is also sent Heaven and Hell in the confusion after losing the momentum of their conflict. Therefore, they call a truce in the conflict to recover the Stone of the world, while making a pact not to interfere directly with humanity.

high definition Of course, everyone was most excited about was that the new units. Browder began the discussion by highlighting the current problems facing the Terran faction. He admitted that the team was disappointed with the performance of Thor, the lack of a good option to counter a Protoss Zealot rush late in the game when using the load capacity (apart from comets tedious) and also ... You do not want t give the terran gameplay options more. They already have enough, said Browder. this in mind, announced that the Hellion wins a processing capacity. When used, this ability to change fast and agile battle HellionHellion the slow and difficult. This new unit has the Hellion ... s flamethrower weapon, but is now an accountant full-time for the fans (as well as being one of the first half of the game harassment unit). Next is the Destroyer. Browder said that little machine is a cheap way for the Terrans to control the spacing on the map. Once implemented, the Destroyer provides a radiation field that permanently damage enemy units are nearby. However, this unit will be shut down if a friendly unit, the unit allied or friendly worker is in your range. Therefore, you should stay away from his army to be effective. In addition, the damage caused by the waves of radiation does not accumulate in order to keep them at bay. Finally, was the Warhound. Browder described the unit as an average cost, fast movements, a smaller version of Thor that functions as an anti-mech. All it means is that ... Ideal for a Terran Protoss enemy or vehicle in flight or on ground, while Thor allow up to a real super-paper greatly improved the output unit damage s. You ... They are also now limited to a Thor at a time.
Kim took over next and some of the problems presented by the Zerg. At the beginning of the game, he says, the Zerg are struggling to fight against an entrenched player. Instead of fighting against the player directly, but must be expanded in an economic battle. He also referred to the supervisor ... Do not get used t much, and the briber is a very limited application.
Enter the Viper, a new launcher Zerg unit to replace the supervisor. Function as a bottleneck to break with three support capabilities. Reduced temporarily blinding cloud of attack range of all units of land within the cloud of combat and prevention based on the skills of the energy used. Removal takes a reader of the Viper location ... s (and is ideal for units with low tear hidden in the back). Parasite eye allows the plant a seed in any environment, no unit mass, making the unit in a detector.
The Swarm was the next Host. This unit of burrows in the ground and spit the waves of time units of life called locusts, so that the Swarm accommodate a form of "the artillery of the Zerg." These locusts are free to re ... endless and ... re designed to help control the Zerg on the map. "It s ... Zerg swarm endless knocking at your door, and won t stop ... until they find a way to deal with it, "said Browder.
Movie Studio Summit Entertainment has become known for his ridiculous aggressive attempts to "protect" what they believe is their intellectual property. Just look at the list of stories we wrote about the company. Zine is now closed, stopped for a documentary on the real city, where Twilight is supposed to take place, has a fashion designer to identify which one of their jackets was worn by "Bella" in Twilight
, was involved in a legal battle with Bath & Bodyworks for sale a body lotion called "Twilight Woods," which had nothing to do with the film, and filed criminal charges against a fan who Twitter are some pictures of the entire shooting of the latest movie Twilight.
is a company that has a huge complex of rights, and a somewhat erroneous notion of the right of intellectual property.
His latest initiative is to continue the person who owns Twilight.com - which was in 1994, eleven years before Stephenie Meyer released the first Twilight book and thirteen years before Summit Entertainment has bought the film rights to the book. The site is fairly simple, Amazon has some links for people to buy legitimate products Twilight (as you might think Summit would ...).
The main complaint, once again, shows the lack of technological Summit. The study indicates that the site with links to unauthorized violation
Find best price for : --Sony-- Only one month after the RIAA has reorganized the administration and promotion of people who had taken the recording industry over a cliff to give them more power, it seems that the MPAA has done the same. Chris Dodd, who waited several weeks before breaking his promise not to become a lobbyist after leaving the Senate and join the MPAA (Welcome to Hollywood, where he gives his word on something that makes no sense), a gathered to his new management team ... and more of the same. The same people who make bad decisions for the MPAA is taking the same path as the RIAA before catastrophic.
The key player here is Michael O'Leary, who has been vice president, but will assume a greater role. You may remember O'Leary try his ridiculous to claim that censorship of the Internet by protecting intellectual property is part of the American way.
What is really sad is that if any of these organizations actually led people with some idea of where the opportunities are going on in your world today 'Today, you might actually see some progress, rather than the tactic of claiming that you can break the internet to save the business models of companies inherited some who do not want to disturb the innovation. I must admit that you have difficulty understanding the minds of people who try to impede the progress and supporting business models dead, but it seems to pay well for now.

The audience at the London Coliseum, it was an exciting display of virtuosity on the night of Friday, when Ivan Vasiliev, the meaning of 22, the Bolshoi had the lead role in the ballet Roland Small, The Young Man and Death.
The work presented in a triple bill of work presented by the English National Ballet Petit and when the veteran French choreographer died earlier this month, Vassiliev offered his services for free. He said the director Wayne Eagling ENB would play the role famous demanding (Mikhail Baryshnikov dance in the Hollywood movie sleepless nights) as a personal tribute to an artist he admired.
So, one night, the phenomenon was born in Vladivostok has taken its place among the dancers of ENB, and electrified them and us. The ballet tells the story of a young painter who is suffering terribly rejected by the girl he loves (Jia Zhang, who made his debut in the role) and then hangs himself. Created in Paris in 1946, the play is full of existential despair, and a note be achieved very precisely where to play convincingly. The last time I was in London on the agenda farewell to Darcey Bussell Sadler Wells in 2006, Igor Zelensky Mariinsky Ballet has been duly neurotic that the young man, but not convinced that the Bussell dominatrix without mercy, and the room not very start.
This version, however, flies. Vasiliev, bulging eyes and his muscular body shaking with rage barely controlled, requires the attention of the first. His physical performance is huge and raw materials, the expressions of the era of silent films. And jumps, as always, it seems to challenge the seriousness - Vol immersion in particular that seems to hang, horizontally, about six feet off the ground. It has absolutely the delicacy of the great Mikhail Baryshnikov, but a wounded lion furious, sincerity, which is ultimately more interesting. He puts his pain on the line.
Greek-American comedian went from marginal survival lessons with Jimmy Carr Edinburgh to work with Steven Soderbergh and Ang Lee. "We must be crazy," said
Jimmy Carr
may not strike everyone as his idea of ??a great humanist, but certainly not a good deed Demetri Martin. When Martin came to make his debut in the UK at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2003, eight of 10 cats took under his wing man.
"I met Jimmy in the United States," says Martin, "and he was the only one who knew when I left. He very kindly took me to dinner the first night that I 'were there. And the first things he said was: "Let's review the bit, and I'll tell you what the words are defined aa .'"
certainly not take long for American comics meet the tastes of the United Kingdom: he won the Perrier Award this summer. Now he's back here to their shows for the first time in over five years. It is a long-awaited return, but Martin is minimized expectations. "I am curious to see who is present and shows how it goes," he said. "I mean, quite large in London. And I will not make the room bigger. Therefore, it should itself."
If you are not familiar with dry, but very well prepared this Greek American stand-up - around the top-drawer single line and a refined sense of the absurd - you should check your TV set solo, the important things with Demetri Martin on Comedy Central recently canceled after two seasons excellent. Well, we canceled. "I tell people it was my choice, and I got it just before it was canceled:" Hi, this is Comedy Central ... "" Before you say anything, Comedy Central, I just want you to know that in no case make the show more. "I'll call each other a break." He also said that one of the most important lessons taught in the sample "was never Google myself." However, it was an excellent showcase for his talent.
want to write jokes about the chairs and dogs, not the Congress. I was surprised when I called the Daily Show "
The series has left the back of a special foot well received, and before that, a season in The Daily Show, a strange task for him to do, somehow, above the minutes comment satire is not much that Demetri Martin is about. "I do not wake up every morning and topical things in writing comedy and choose not to share with the world," he said, "I'm not interested. I want to write jokes about the chairs and dogs, not what I think Congress. I was surprised when I called for a meeting. "
Even more surprising is that Martin was allowed to do their own thing for the host and supreme creator Jon Stewart, as a correspondent for the youth. "Jon gave me the opportunity of your program that was very generous of you. Never, 'Oh, I love your stuff. "I was more than he respected me and treated me like a colleague who was great. You know Jon is a powerful man in comedy, certainly comedy in New York. I was delighted to work with him, and I was working with Conan O'Brien, who was also good. I always tell people I have two perfect comedies. "
British viewers who missed the Daily Show points may have seen Martin in a cameo, but memorable heavily Conchords - when he appeared with Todd Barry in the movie to break the legs of novelty shot rebound ( "Bounce, bounce, bounce the puppy ").
"In 2004, he shared an apartment with Bret and Jemaine in Edinburgh, so we were roommates for the summer," he said. "When I got the call saying, ' Hey, we want you to enjoy being in an episode, "he says," great "and gave me the script and had a line! I was pissed! I thought, "these guys I have offended in any way? And then when I arrived, I had a few more lines. It's funny how the right to, like, "You wanted me to be in an episode, I assumed that it would co-star, may become a series regular." "Uh, no, say only one word. OK, cut !'"
At the top of the work and live television, he also found time to write a book under the title of this book is wonderfully colorful. He describes it as a "mixed bag" of all sorts of different parts comedy, including short fiction, drawings, the exterior wall of the list and, of course, the comic - examples of what can be seen at throughout this document. The genesis of the project came from the books you wear. Since the beginning of stand-up in 1997, he was always a pen in hand to eliminate any idea that comes. Martin believes that has more than 60 laptops, as now, and refers to him as his contempt "secret hideout on." But, says: "When I received the offer for the book, had an advantage because I could go through my books and find that the core ideas, so the story of a monster who did this he wants - I wonder if. I could write this story, I wonder if that's what you need. "
politicians who blame the riots on the lack of discipline in schools were all wrong, says
Phil Beadle
Therefore, citizenship classes were a success, then! And next week, lessons on the subject of countless good citizenship begins with the teacher asks, "So what can we learn from these riots?"
"Well, sir, man, I learned you have to try things before they spoil or get something that does not suit you. Do not go with his handkerchief "
The reaction of the commentators and political unrest was predictable: the voices of the pontificate unlevened right views for any type of experience of people who rightly decry, and the voices on the left who try to justify an outbreak of rampant crime as a response almost led to the current administration of the "scorched earth for the poor" policies.
is the right answer, however, which shows the perverse perspective on the relationship between cause and effect.
attended the Prime Minister, with his coarse simplistic, the "broken society" slogan, to identify the following: ". The next part of our attack is against what is happening in our schools, "The heir to the throne weight:" Schools do not have enough enough extracurricular activities organized games and activities .. "John Howell , Conservative MP for Henley, calls for "more discipline in our schools," and a priest has no idea of ??the riots as evidence of the need to "rebuild education" and begins jibbering about "ethos".
teachers around the country will have to let out a sigh sad - ".. I would like to blame our school is not doing his work is clearly time for me to be fired" - before realizing that 'they were really wet on a beach in northern France. "Wait a minute. I'm sure I'm on vacation. In fact, it may be my fault, can you?"
In fact, the riots took place when schools were on vacation. This reveals the schools to blame for the work to be guilty of reverse logic. The riots are actually evidence to the contrary: that once the expert advice and attention, the moral framework of the daily routine, discipline, and - yes, Charles - extracurricular activities offered by schools are absent from the lives of these children, everything goes quickly to hell in a wheelbarrow.
Why does not anyone asking that the riots occurred in long-term time? Even if they did, I have a strong suspicion of participation under 18 have declined significantly. First, the perturbations in a night school is probably beyond the limits, even in the house of the city center. Second, there were rumors every day of the worst epidemics it was created. Had this been the case of meetings in the course, each school have criticized the accuracy mobilized military, keep children in school, texting parents to pick them up, arrange transportation, and calling for no one had been any doubt about the possible consequences of the behavior dangerously irresponsible.
measured, reasoned responses to the problems were in the teaching profession, their representatives and partner organizations. John Murphy, director of education at the Oasis Community Learning, which was the principal of two schools for children with emotional and behavioral difficulties, puts the nail on the head: "In Recent riots that adopted by political reasons to complex problems. The reality is that those involved were not a group with one of the reasons. They were opportunistic, gang members and there were people who are totally excluded from any involvement with civil society. "
that investigations, Rick Perry, the new favorite, the experts the former governor of Massachusetts. Not so fast
is a familiar story. A presidential favorite stumbles badly in the way the Republican nomination and is considered almost dead. Media attention goes to his rivals on the rise in the polls, his campaign funds swelling. However, head to recalibrate his campaign, he is high, everything is in the critical New Hampshire primary, wins, and the tide of victory.
This happened in mid-2007, when Republican John McCain, heir to "mince words express" ran aground, apparently ending his chances for the presidency. Now we hear the same from the former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who suddenly left the Governor Rick Perry of Texas after leading the Republican field for months. The latest CNN poll has Perry with a 13 point lead over Romney -. A surprising twist two weeks ago, Perry said before
McCain, of course, straightened his steam engine and to victory in 2008, defying the odds-making. We are looking for a repeat?
Not according to most experts, including one that Romney is pronounced a "loser." Another review of the career of Romney, said he has never won an absolute majority in a single election. He saved his re-election race for governor, when polls showed it was almost certain to lose. Perry, the authors suggest, is now a shoo-in to win.
Not so fast, I say. Romney is a weak candidate, and a dubious "favorite" has been evident for months, as I have suggested elsewhere. It also increased, Rick Perry, in an almost dark in May, well before the famous Karl Rove - an inveterate enemy of Perry - he did. However, no candidate has a lead of about 20 points in the first review of the nation New Hampshire primary - as does Romney - is over, no matter how sad appearance. Candidates Perry - finally and resolutely Christian south - have tended to perform poorly in the Granite State, and Romney, who is a resident of New England, which seems stronger now than when he saw Perry
Perry can win the Republican nomination? Apparently, yes. He has already demonstrated its ability to attract voters who feel disappointed too moderate base, and voters think Romney Romney creation is too low. In part, this is their policy - Perry has so far apart on key issues, without giving the impression, like Romney a "flip-flop" - ". Presence ", but mostly it's just her in a year when the wrath of the Tea Party is in fashion, Perry seems harder and more passionate than Romney. But unlike fellowTtea Party darling, Michelle Bachmann, it has a real leadership experience, and despite a quirk or two in Texas, it seems, for now at least, as "eligible".
But it's still early. Presidential campaigns can make or break a couple of weeks. They tend to be battles back and forth for weeks and months, with a momentum change back and forth, as a gaffe, a revelation, or the adoption of campaign strategies. Perry, unlike Romney, has never faced the light of national media attention, which can reveal the flaws of a candidate as relentlessly as a magnifying glass. Ask another fighter in Texas, the independent presidential candidate Ross Perot, H, leading to both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush at the polls for months in 1992, but withdrew after facing relentless media attention, so I was not prepared.
Perry is much more experienced, of course, but have yet to see you sweat - especially when it faces formidable rivals Romney and other Republicans, including Ron Paul in the debates come. Only then we can take any real measure of man.
McCain Romney is not, of course. War has no history of right to appeal, and Perry, in any case is likely to earn more veterans, a key GOP constituency. However, in 2012 Romney Romney is not four years ago. He's older and wiser, and so far, despite its obvious weaknesses in the stump, has proven very adept at raising funds and using their resources in the states of the primary - not only in the New But Hampshire, Iowa, Florida, Michigan and Nevada. And it forward with a detailed work plan that President Obama has even run to catch up. Perry, the master plan for four and five points, after careful consideration, it seems full of platitudes, not the height. Just point to his record of Texas jobs - many are already in question -. Be exhausted in time
Uruguay Oscar Washington Tabarez will face Sergio Markarian of Peru, the man who was once his teacher Football
The student in front of the main paradigm is well established: Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Larry Holmes and Muhammad Ali. Paul Keating, Bob Hawke. Eric Bristow and Phil Taylor. Maybe time André Villas-Boas and Jose Mourinho. In the theory of the anxiety of influence by Harold Bloom, the great writers first need to (metaphorically) kill the writer who has most influenced - Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe, for example - before creating his own style. In most cases, the generation gap is a young upstart to come to the question of the amount found.
Tuesday night in La Plata in Uruguay meet in Peru in the first semifinal of the Copa America, a young man goes to the man who was once his teacher. This, however, is a unique version of the paradigm obsolete. The young man, Oscar Washington Tabarez, is 64, Sergio Markarian, who briefly coached at Bella Vista, the 1970 is just two years older. Both have the same basic principles. Both have the same belief in the importance of preventing the other party to play before they play.
This year, Markarian said that the purpose of an "attractive style" hot Peru. However, he admitted he thought it was "more important" to create "an effective The two round-trip still think he can win the game is played. We need to increase the level of aggression in our brand, and not let the opponent play a lot. "It says a lot of the success of Markarian in their 14 games in charge, Peru conceded just five goals.
Its success has been remarkable. This is the first of Peru in the semifinals in the Copa America in 1997, however, losing 7-0 with Brazil after defeating Argentina's Daniel Passarella very low in the quarter-finals, there is a feeling that it is your appropriate first half since 1983. But the transformation is much deeper than the Markarian. Peru finished last in South America for the World Cup. Leaving his group in the Copa America was a success, especially after the wounds of Claudio Pizarro and Jefferson Farfan. Do it through having lost the dead rubber against Chile, a goal down time clean, and to beat Colombia 2-0 in the quarterfinals is an extraordinary achievement.
Yes, we were lucky in Peru, with Radamel Falcao and missing a penalty shot Dayro Moreno hit a pole on an episode of 15 minutes of intense pressure from Colombia, Peru, but had how to firm and when the opportunities presented to them in overtime, took them. Were devoted to thwart opponents, but it is their right, one of the beauties of football is that the poorest regions can beat the best, by preventing their reproduction. "There is nothing beautiful allowing the opponent to have fun," Markarian said when pressed on the negativity of his team on Saturday, one more question after losing its momentum against Chile in usual wonky smile slipped when he was interviewed by journalists and rejected that of "little mouse".
In a sense, injuries Pizzarro Farfan and worked for Markarian. Since there is no pressure to pack the team with the attackers, and has developed a plan that Paolo Guerrero, who had a magnificent tournament striker Asamoah Gyan and unique style, moves to the left Juan Vargas can cut the left wing and second striker to become an assistant. William Chiroque law has been excellent in a role to come and go, but certainly with a thigh injury.
Markarian belongs to the intellectual tradition of left South American football. He never did as a player, but after graduating, he became director of a fuel distribution. When I was 30, however, since the Uruguay humiliated by Holland in World Cup 1974 and decided that it was his duty to become a football coach and modernization of Uruguay. After learning the trade at the Bella Vista, however, went to Paraguay in 1983 and has never professionally.
His influence has been profound in Paraguay. He won two league titles and two Olimpia with freedom. The hairstyle of the national team for the 1992 Olympics, and many players have to play in the 2002 World Cup which was replaced as coach Cesare Maldini shamefully.
Markarian succeeded in Greece, won a championship with the University of Chile and two degrees Sporting Cristal of Peru and the final of the Copa Libertadores, a remarkable achievement that no club Peru approached again in 14 years.
Tabarez is probably more of an idealist. As Markarian, problems of the press tend to be long, thoughtful, high in the theory and drop sound bites. In the World Cup spoke of his goal of rehabilitating the notion of
claws
supposedly the defining feature of the Uruguayan Football Association, the spirit that has enabled a country three million people to win two World Cups and 14 Copa Americas.
The term literally means "claw", but has strength, determination, mental strength and streetwiseness, the World Cup in 1986, largely for kicking everything that moved, but in 1990 Tabarez Uruguay tempered hardness with a warming spirit. Remain difficult, and not opposed to games, but are far from Uruguay, 25 years ago cynicism. Working interpretation Tabarez, but his problem as he tries to lead Uruguay to a record 15th Copa title, is that man is facing similar heritage and similar ideas, the man sees Bloom as her father Oedipus .
Paraguay v Venezuela
on Peru in the semifinals is remarkable, but Venezuela is unprecedented. They won only four games in Cup history in America and after a single past tense quarter-final at home, started their luck and shows high resistance to reach the semifinals for the first time. Reach 16 under-20 world in Egypt two years ago with a team that included Jose Rondon and Yohandry Orozco - both members of the current workforce, but is used in many banks suggests the future and this can be achieved. The Vinotinto

After playing more broadly in the group, Gerardo Martino back to defend the tradition of Paraguay in the quarterfinals against Brazil, Néstor Ortigoza side by Victor Caceres.

Question:
Can you identify the taxonomic family of birds and species? This bird is very beautiful and mysterious character of a particular life history that makes it special among the birds of North America. Can you tell me who is this?

This is an adult male brown-capped rosy Finch
Leucosticte
australis
. This bird is endemic to the United States, are only high in the central Rocky Mountains, primarily in the State of Colorado. This species is characterized in that it plays in the highest elevation of all bird species in North America: the brown-capped rosy finch nests above the treeline in the alpine tundra and is in the glaciers and snow fields at high altitudes, even in winter to 35 C - as long as the snow covers their food sources.

the UN releases report on justice, an authority on women's rights in Morocco explains why the new Constitution provides for gender equality is key to the reform
Morocco is at an interesting time. Inspired by events in other parts of the region, the February 20 protests by the Movement for Dignity was last week's referendum on constitutional reforms proposed by King Mohammed VI. The mean changes in the executive must be a prime minister, but the king remains in charge of military power, religious and judicial. But what does this mean for women in Morocco?
Despite this progress towards political reform, there are still significant barriers for women seeking justice. Some reflect the position of women in society, and others how the justice system works, with questions on judicial independence, corruption, and especially the lengthy process
Rabea Naciri is a past president of the Women's Democratic Association of Morocco, one of the largest non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Morocco focused on women's rights, and is now on its board. He also teaches at the University of Rabat and served on the progress of the Advisory Group on the UN report released Wednesday Women justice.
For her, the barriers are clear. "Many women can not read and write, and then, of course, his knowledge of the judicial system is low, poverty is a subject too -.. attorneys' fees, transportation costs, resources for mobility In fact, many women have no problems with freedom of movement. and social, there is also a cultural practice, for example, can bring shame, if a woman takes a family member or spouse to the court -. It can be a difficult experience to go and can be feeling bad. "
is also the attitude and perspective of practitioners. "Not to generalize, but some tend to take sides and moralizing. The whole patriarchal system comes in. Some are positioned against the woman, and I do not think you should file for divorce. Even if it has the right to seek divorce if her husband beats her and continues to offer the family, the judges may be against divorce and make women give specific reasons to justify it. "
Because the Family Code was adopted in 2004, efforts have been made by the State and Government to improve access to justice, including the Family Court - of measures such as information centers for women, empowerment of women's rights lawyers and hiring social workers to advise and support women. However, most work is done by NGOs - women's organizations and feminist groups - who have established their own advice centers, in addition to the government
These services are still thin on the ground but are a fundamental support, as Naciri, described the implementation of the Family Code as "a social and political issue of Morocco", in particular on issues such as violence. Official figures show that, as is often the case, who do violence are often the spouses. What is needed now is a network of services for women who have suffered discrimination and violence, to guide them through the entire process of the complaint to the police, medical examinations and the right to justice, Naciri said.
She is quick to acknowledge that progress has been made, but he argues that Morocco still lacks the human and financial resources to provide women effective access to justice. It is particularly difficult to find support in small towns. Even when there is a center, can not always afford or legal knowledge to adequately support these women.
Some police and the courts attempt to establish partnerships for women are supported by NGOs, but, as shown Naciri, "is a very good non-governmental organizations to fill the void, but the state has a responsibility to open the information center for women to have access and support they need to go through the process. yet there is really no understanding of the difficulties, especially in small towns . "
food and child support is essential but often overlooked. If a woman is thrown out of the house of the family, the law says that the husband must meet the material needs of women. But if a woman does not have a job in a crisis, unless the husband or his family give money, no means to survive and care for their children. So how do we report an abusive husband, if he is not sure if will never reach a solution? If the process will lead to a divorce and the husband does not accept your case, how are they and their children to survive? The danger is that only women of independent means can afford to divorce. All this creates a situation where only a small proportion of cases to court.
shadow chancellor said that economists calling for the end of the band are 50 cents tax "do not live in the real world"
Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor, accused of economists calling for the abolition of the tax rate of 50 cents "do not live in the real world."
Balls
stressed the priority to tax cuts should be a temporary reduction in VAT to boost consumer confidence, instead of breaking to higher rents, which he would be "unfair" in the current climate.
comment shadow foreign minister came one day after a group of eminent economists use an article in the Financial Times to urge the chancellor, George Osborne, to scrap the rate of tax by 50 cents the first opportunity.
The group said the UK needed to return to a "tax system internationally competitive" in order to stimulate the economy of stuttering.
economists said the rate of 50 cents "is clearly a form of self-defeat of the Treasury to raise money and reducing tax evasion would be more effective."
but the court said that the ball tax higher income, which "raises billions of pounds" should not be "the first priority."
"Do you really think, when we have to revive the economy, do you really think that the priority is not to reduce the VAT for families or find other ways to help middle-income families, but only to cut taxes for those earning over £ 150 000? "asks Balls.
"I think people see these economists yesterday making these arguments have to think that these people are not in the real world."
said that all taxes must be fair, "and as low as possible," the deficit should be kept under control and that meant "everyone" had to make a contribution.
He added: ". George Osborne, if you want a plan B should listen to advice wiser than"
but their arguments were countered by Kitty Ussher, a former Labour Minister of the Treasury, which uses an article in the Wall Street Journal to argue that the work should be "brave enough" to engage to ditching the maximum rate of tax in the future not to see "all the 1970s-ideological" and focus on some other "very progressive" to fill the gap instead.
argues that the income of the top tax rate will have "no significant impact on the size of the deficit, simply because of the magnitude of the sums involved" and that its importance is that "totemic nature."
Ussher said one reason the work introduced in the 2009 budget was "because there were some Labour politicians who loved to tax on higher incomes, as a matter of principle, regardless of the economic cycle. "
Ussher wrote in the Wall Street Journal: "If the Labour Party to say now that it intends to abolish the tax in the future, it would greatly benefit the leader of the opposition, Ed Miliband, is that the project beyond populism. the kingdom of the grave. And he continues to watch all the 1970s-ideological if the Chancellor own official magazine also determined that the tax does not raise the money. "
Cameron try to defuse the controversy over the withdrawal of the tax rate on people earning 50 pence to £ 150,000 or more, pending the results of a study commissioned by the Chancellor to determine whether the Tax revenue is expected to bring. The review is unlikely to accumulate enough data in time for the spring 2012 budget.
Downing Street confirmed that the priority established in the coalition agreement to increase the personal allowances for the lowest paid in the Parliament on the -. A key commitment Liberal Democrat
But in a sign of tensions between the coalition partners on fiscal policy, the Conservative communities secretary Eric Pickles, broke ranks and said he thought that the rate of 50 cents was probably more harm than good.
Pickles told the BBC: "I think there is a strong enough case and say," Well, it's not really helped much. "Finally, it is probable that more harm than do good. "
said the maximum rate should be "eliminated", but stressed that time was at Osborne. learned Thursday that the government may submit a proposal to increase personal allowances to help stimulate the economy.
writer and environmental activist and journalist Tamsin Omond Lucy Cavendish stop discussion if you have had your day
Tamsin Omond is a writer and environmental activist
I am one of the 12% of 25 - to 32 years who hitchhike. We are a minority, according to a survey by the AA, we are on the way. Only 9% of British drivers would offer us a lift, making the prospect of standing next to the road with a sign a little darker. My first stop last summer, with a destination (Bethlehem), with a budget (? 500) and schedule (three months). Eight weeks, and walks more than 50 years later, I was in an Israeli army jeep was taken in the West Bank. Since survivors of Europe and the Middle East (I'm 26, female and blonde), I'm not afraid to sail a lift in the UK. He was on the side of the road, you have no idea how and when it will end your day. This is an exciting time, based on trust and collaboration. I am sad to read that hitchhiking is declining.
journalist Lucy Cavendish and mother of four
As a teenager, I hung around. I had a boyfriend in Leeds so I went up and down the country in High Wycombe almost every weekend. Then when I was older and had a teaching position in Africa, I hung all over Kenya. But now ... I must say that I am somewhat relieved that the numbers have declined. While it would stop and pick up a hitchhiker (which reminds me of my youth) there is absolutely no way I will let my own children hitchhiking. I understand this is a great way to meet people, it is also terribly insecure. I had some very scary. Engage in Africa as a young woman alone was just a stupid thing. Maybe it was my stupidity that made me through it. Teenagers are not so naive and trusting these days ... I worry if my daughter never said she was going to hitchhike everywhere. In fact, I think that's probably the ban.
My mother tried to engage the ban across the Middle East, but in the end I am old enough to make my own errors he had to settle for a "responsible" for the promise not to take the elevators with single men or groups of men. It was common sense, so I was happy to accept. On the road a couple of cyclists (route from England to India) gave me a book by Dervla Murphy - a travel writer whose transport is the bicycle. There is a large section that is cycling through Albania, who threw stones. I paraphrase: ". People told me I was crazy race through Albania, but sometimes you need to find these things for yourself"
The idea behind my trip to Israel to see if it was possible to rely on the kindness of strangers. It was a risk, of course, but I was determined and acted responsibly throughout - cover me, you travel in groups, men refusing elevators. As I moved into what I've found that people were becoming easier with the idea of ??offering lifts and hitchhiking (and not only lifts - a place to stay, a meals, a trip to the Dead Sea, a luxury spa). The role of the car - as the space dedicated to your calendar - it seems much less accurate in non-Western cultures. Instead, the car is a useful and people are used to stop when he moved down.
I find it interesting that different cultures in different ways from the stop. In the West, we are of course much more dependent on the car than they ever were - it's partly to do with the deterioration of public transport and partly because the cars getting cheaper, safer and better did. There is also, when it comes to hitchhiking, endemic fear of "stranger danger." No, no, I, no statistical evidence that each of us are now in danger of foreigners than ever before. However, all of my generation saw Rutger Hauer in the Highway to Hell
and ourselves for life. It is true that when I was Kenya, have a luxury car because it was felt that there appeared to be a tacit agreement that it was the responsibility of the driver of the car to pick up people on the side of the road and give them a lift. That said, you can not control or skill of the driver. I had to knock on the roof of the truck and ask to be left out! That would be another of my concerns.
You
can act responsibly - to hide and so on - but what about the people you choose? You can not take responsibility. The older I get, the more it worries me.
, Ed Miliband, the objectives of the initiative pressed households plan to restore the conditions for the privatization of energy companies and training
populist On the eve of the conference call, Ed Miliband, plans to turn the fire of the work in the privatized industries - offer a national buying power and a ban on the railways Price Team
Labour leader hopes to restore the conditions of the privatization of industries that contribute most to a decline in living standards. Miliband agreed that the railway companies currently handling charge will be disqualified by the renewal of its license for a Labour government.
also agree to take action against price-fixing by six energy companies requires the pooling of all the energy in a centralized manner, a movement that claims to lower energy prices for 80% of users.
Any company would be able to purchase and supply of energy from the pool to a clear and transparent prices.
initiatives are responsible for aid Miliband as a sign of his willingness to speak of a "silent crisis" because the families of high bond bills, wages and irresponsible speculation pressed.
In an interview with the Guardian, the shadow of Foreign Affairs, Douglas Alexander, said: "The purpose of the conversation around the kitchen tables raises many train tickets and invoices the energy of the people believe that the government simply does not understand the pressures .. "
Coalition government
the lifted the lid on rates of Railway, ie, the tickets are to increase by 8%, with some individual routes to see an increase until to 13% next year. According to the plans being developed by the work, the train operating companies would be excluded from competition for the renewal of their licenses if they meet a set of rules of conduct in the past five years, instead of just " test line narrow bottom. "
Labor source said. "We are enabling these companies to avoid habits that would be prohibited in any other sector and then allowed to tender for contracts as if the past never happened There are legal complexities here, but should not be a basic "something for something" off the railways should not be more pressure on price increases. "
meaning of work, said: "The assessment of what the business will be retroactive to the process of rising prices and irresponsible behavior, now or in the past could be used to disqualify companies the process of submission to the next round of license renewal. "
Work
aims to make the progress of the delivery of rail if they are not profitable or the return of franchises to avoid making payments to taxpayers.
Transport Secretary Philip Hammond plans to offer franchises train only 15. Many companies now demand compensation or acknowledge the work of the seizure if the franchise were quickly taken.
Movement
Miliband at a time when a survey by The Guardian-ICM showed his personal appeal remains low, but voters are increasingly opposed to the government's economic policy.
The survey found that 30% of voters - and only 49% of Labour supporters -. The statement said "the party entitled to Ed Miliband leader"
ratiing final approval from -14 to -16, but now it's worse than both David Cameron and Nick Clegg. Ed Balls, including for the first time, is -18.
But support for the government's economic policy is dangerously low. Only 32% agreed with the statement "the government's tax increases and spending cuts are necessary to protect the economy of Britain." Almost twice as many%, 62, accepts "cuts are too deep and too fast can damage the British economy more than it helps. " Alexander accepts the public bought the Conservatives, the workplace, explaining the decline in 2008. "Frankly, after the crisis in 2008, the Conservatives are more successful than working on developing a public language that makes sense of the economic crisis and helps to explain the electoral defeat."
