APNewsBreak: Feds say Arpaio violated civil rights
PHOENIX The federal government issued a scathing report Thursday that outlines how Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office has committed a wide range of civil rights violations against Latinos, including a pattern of racial profiling and discrimination and carrying out heavy-handed immigration patrols based on racially charged citizen complaints.
The report, obtained by The Associated Press ahead of its release, is a result of the U.S. Justice Department's three-year investigation of Arpaio's office amid complaints of racial profiling and a culture of bias at the agency's top level.
The Justice Department's conclusions in the civil probe mark the federal government's harshest rebuke of a national political fixture who has risen to prominence for his immigration crackdowns and became coveted endorsement among candidates in the GOP presidential field.
Apart from the civil rights probe, a federal grand jury also has been investigating Arpaio's office on criminal abuse-of-power allegations since at least December 2009 and is specifically examining the investigative work of the sheriff's anti-public corruption squad.
The civil rights report said federal authorities will continue to investigate complaints of deputies using excessive force against Latinos, whether the sheriff's office failed to provide adequately police services in Hispanic communities and a large number of sex-crimes cases that were assigned to the agency but weren't followed up on or investigated at all.
The report took the sheriff's office to task for launching immigration patrols, known as "sweeps," based on complaints that Latinos were merely gathering near a business without committing crimes. Federal authorities single out Arpaio himself and said his office, known as MCSO, has no clear policies to guard against the violations, even after he changed some of his top aides earlier this year.
"Arpaio's own actions have helped nurture MCSO's culture of bias," wrote Thomas Perez, who heads the Justice Department's civil rights division, adding that the sheriff frequently gave such racially charged letters to some of his top aides and saved them in his own files.
"MCSO is broken in a number of critical respects. The problems are deeply rooted in MCSO's culture," he said Thursday.
The Justice Department's expert on measuring racial profiling said it's the most egregious case of racial profiling in the nation that he has seen or reviewed in professional literature, Perez said.
Investigators interviewed more than 400 people, including Arpaio, reviewed thousands of documents and toured county jails as part of its probe, he said.
If the sheriff's office doesn't turn around its policies and practices, the federal government could pull millions of dollars of federal funding.
Arpaio's office did not immediately respond to AP requests for comment.
The report will require Arpaio to set up effective policies against discrimination, improve training and make other changes that would be monitored for compliance by a judge. Arpaio faces a Jan. 4 deadline for saying whether he wants to work out an agreement. If not, the federal government will sue him and let a judge decide the complaint.
Arpaio, the self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in America, has long denied the racial profiling allegation, saying people are stopped if deputies have probable cause to believe they have committed crimes and that deputies later find many of them are illegal immigrants.
Arpaio has built his reputation on jailing inmates in tents and dressing them in pink underwear, selling himself to voters as unceasingly tough on crime and pushing the bounds of how far local police can go to confront illegal immigration.
The report also said he and some top staffers tried to silence people who have spoken out against the sheriff's office by arresting people without cause, filing meritless lawsuits against opponents and starting investigations of critics.

Creative Problem Solving: Habits That Need Changing
Glassman, Edward, Supervisory Management
Creative Problem Solving: Habits That Need Changing
MANY MANAGERS ARE UNAWARE OF THE IMPACT THEY have on the creativity of their departments. Certain managerial habits that are productive at other times can stifle employee problem solving and create a work environment in which workers feel uncomfortable about offering their ideas for consideration. Fortunately, these habits can be changed. New behavior patterns that stimulate creative thinking can be substituted for the six identified here. The Quick Fix, the Stifler, the Gauntlet, the Timer, the Controller, and the Distractor are all labels describing habits of managers that have one over-riding fault in common: They can impair the creativity of employees. Are you guilty of practicing these? To find out, let's look more closely at them.
Avoid the Quick Fix
The Quick Fix happens when you and others settle on the first adequate solution to a problem you are discussing and thereby deny your creative ability to find a better solution. The danger of this habit is that it enables the mind to cling to old perspectives that were successful during previous problem solving.
Getting out of the Quick Fix is easier said than done. But one way is to set a quota of five to ten new and different ideas before choosing a solution. Another way is to list ideas non-evaluatively in a three-minute mini-brainstorming session before proceeding further.
Another unfortunate habit associated with the Quick Fix is rushing to generate solutions before actually defining the problem. Then it is almost impossible to avoid old perspectives. To solve problems creatively, we need to examine as many perspectives as possible, and this can be accomplished only by looking at the problem from various aspects, even stepping back from the problem and pretending to be someone else.
Gaining new perspectives can come about in many ways: if you deliberately reverse and distort your view of the problem; if you systematically list what you like about the current situation and what you would like improved; if you conscientiously answer the why, who, what, where, when, and again why about the given problem; and so on. The power in these approaches lies not in generating a specific new idea but in the process that opens the mind to a multitude of new perspectives. Remember, there is research that suggests people who first spend time defining problems produce ideas that are more creative than people who rush to generate solutions first.
Avoid stifling
The Stifler is probably the habit that most impairs the creativity of others. Try it out for yourself. Before you read further, write down five to ten comments about the following idea: Let's train bears in the north woods to climb telephone poles in winter and shake loose the ice that accumulates on the transmission wires. Don't read on until you've done this.
Now, categorize your responses. Put an "I" by any response that showed an interest in the idea; a "P" if your response was truly positive; an "N" if your response was negative; a "C" if your response indicated curiosity as to why the idea was proposed; and an "NC" if it was neutral.
What have you got? If you're like most people, the most common response is negative, even ridicule though I merely asked for comments. Quick negative criticism is very common to our society--and very destructive of creativity.
Still, a manager must give honest opinions about new ideas. How can you do this without stifling creativity?
I suggest three approaches:
The first is I.P.N.C. That is, in responding to an idea, try to see that your first comments indicate interest (I) in the idea and what your subordinate thinks. This should be followed by all the positive (P) comments you can muster. Then you can state your negative (N) comments but as concerns. Finally, indicate curiosity (C) about why the idea was proposed or how your concerns can be dealt with. …

WWII Stories
It was the bloodiest conflict in human history. At the time, World War II affected nearly everyone on earth. Many current Bay area residents experienced the struggles of WWII first hand. For Veteran's Day week, we bring you three Florida Stories from WWII.
In conjunction with Ken Burns' "The War," WUSF has produced a pair of documentaries focusing on two Bay area communities and their residents who served in the military at that time. "Tampa Goes to War," will air Thursday, November 15 at 10:00 PM, immediately after the fifth part of "The War." "Plant City Goes to War" will air Saturday, November 17 at 10:00 PM.
This week's stories:
1. Lars Dohm was a young boy of seven when the war reached his native Denmark. He spoke with his son David about his experience during this difficult time.
2. Our second story comes from William Russell. He talks with his wife Catherine about his WWII experience in the South Pacific. He was told he would be serving with the Seabees when he enlisted in the US Navy in 1943.
3. Finally, we hear from Edith Illgen. She was a young girl living in Germany when the war broke out. Edith tells about living under the Hitler regime and the drastic differences from American war life. She speaks with her friend Carol Byrd.
Tuesday at 6:30 PM | Sunday at 7:30 AM on WUSF 89.7
Monday at 10:00 PM on WSMR 89.1
Carson Cooper is a familiar voice. He has become a favorite of WUSF listeners as the local host of NPR's "Morning Edition" on WUSF 89.7 since he took the job in 2000. Carson has worked in Tampa Bay radio for more than two decades. He has been the host of WUSF 89.7's Florida Matters since its launch in 2006. During that time he has reported on a variety of issues of importance to the community, including growth management, education, transportation, affordable housing, taxation, public health and the environment.
Contact Information
Florida Matters isn't just one-way communication. We want you to get involved in the conversation each week and tell us what you think about the topics we're discussing. All you have to do is sign up for a free account on our Web site -- it's free, easy, and we promise we won't share your information!

Not What Happened but Why
By John Leonard
Published: March 23, 2003
By Susan Sontag.
131 pp. New York:
Farrar, Straus & Giroux. $20.
Toward the end of ''Regarding the Pain of Others,'' her coruscating sermon on how we picture suffering, Susan Sontag loses her temper. As usual she's been playing a solitary hand, shuffling contradictions, dealing provocations, turning over anguished faces, numbing numerals, even a jumping jack (''we have lids on our eyes, we do not have doors on our ears''). But she seems personally offended by those ''citizens of modernity, consumers of violence as spectacle, adepts of proximity without risk'' who ''will do anything to keep themselves from being moved.'' And she is all of a sudden ferocious:
''To speak of reality becoming a spectacle is a breathtaking provincialism. It universalizes the viewing habits of a small, educated population living in the rich part of the world, where news has been converted into entertainment. . . . It assumes that everyone is a spectator. It suggests, perversely, unseriously, that there is no real suffering in the world. But it is absurd to identify the world with those zones in the well-off countries where people have the dubious privilege of being spectators, or of declining to be spectators, of other people's pain . . . consumers of news, who know nothing at first hand about war and massive injustice and terror. There are hundreds of millions of television watchers who are far from inured to what they see on television. They do not have the luxury of patronizing reality.''
So much, then, for Guy Debord, Jean Baudrillard and their French-fried American fellows in the media studies programs, looking down on staged events as if from zeppelins, or like the kings of Burma on the backs of elephants, remote and twitchy among the pixels, with multiple views in slo-mo, intimate focus or broad scan, and an IV-feed of chitchat. When we think about the pictures we have seen from Bosnia, Rwanda and Chechnya, about the videotapes available to us of Rodney King being beaten and Daniel Pearl being murdered, media theory seems merely impudent.
Yet Sontag has no more use for the pure of heart and perpetually incredulous who are always shocked by the wounds of the world, by evidence of ''hands-on'' cruelty and proof ''that depravity exists.'' Where have they been? After a century and a half of photojournalistic witness, ''a vast repository'' of ''atrocious images'' already exists to remind us of what people can do to each other. At this late date, to be surprised is to be morally defective: ''No one after a certain age has the right to this kind of innocence, of superficiality, to this degree of ignorance, or amnesia.''
So there is suffering, and there are cameras, and it is possible to worry about the motives of the men and women behind the cameras, whether one may be too arty, another a bit mercenary, a third a violence junkie, as it is possible to worry about whether our looking at the pictures they bring back from the wound is voyeuristic or pornographic; whether such witness, competing for notice among so many other clamors, seems more authentic the more it's amateurish (accidental, like satellite surveillance); whether excess exposure to atrocity glossies dulls Jack and jades Jill; or whether. . . . But then again, maybe these worries are self-indulgent and beside the point, which should be to think our way past what happened to why. ''It is not a defect,'' Sontag says, ''that we do not suffer enough'' when we see these images:
''Neither is the photograph supposed to repair our ignorance about the history and causes of the suffering it picks out and frames. Such images cannot be more than an invitation to pay attention, to reflect, to learn, to examine the rationalizations for mass suffering offered by established powers. Who caused what the picture shows? Who is responsible? Is it excusable? Was it inevitable? Is there some state of affairs which we have accepted up to now that ought to be challenged?''
Photographs ''haunt'' us; ''narratives can make us understand.'' As thinking people used to do, before what Sontag calls ''the era of shopping,'' we are invited to make distinctions and connections, and then maybe fix something. Or have all of us already sold, leased or leveraged our skepticism, our intellectual property rights and our firstborn child for a seat at the table and a shot at the trough?
Sontag of course has done our homework for us, her usual archaeology. She follows the trail of photojournalism from Roger Fenton in the Valley of Death after the charge of the Light Brigade, to Mathew Brady's illustrating of America's Civil War, to Robert Capa among Spanish Republicans, to the horrors of Buchenwald and Hiroshima, to famine in India and carnage in Biafra and napalm in Vietnam and ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. After consulting Goya on what a victorious army does to a civilian population, she takes us to Tuol Sleng, near Phnom Penh, to look at the photographs the Khmer Rouge took of thousands of suspected ''intellectuals'' and ''counterrevolutionaries'' (meaning Cambodians who had gone to school, spoke a foreign language or wore glasses) after they were tortured but before they were murdered.

Venezuela's Hugo Chavez dies
CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuela's vice president announced that President Hugo Chavez died on Tuesday, ending 14 years of rule by the firebrand socialist but leaving his party firmly in control of the nation.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro said that Chavez died "after battling a tough illness for nearly two years."
The death apparently sets up a presidential election to replace Chavez, whose illness prevented him from taking the oath of office for the term to which he was re-elected last year.
Under the constitution, the head of Congress, Diosdado Cabello, would assume the interim presidency.
The announcement came just hours after Maduro announced the government had expelled two U.S. diplomats from the country.
Maduro also said "we have no doubt" that Chavez's cancer, which was first diagnosed in June 2011, was induced by foul play by "the historical enemies of our homeland."
He compared the situation to the death of the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, claiming Arafat was "inoculated with an illness."
Chavez's inner circle has long claimed the United States was behind a failed 2002 attempt to overthrow him, and he has frequently played the anti-American card to stir up support. Venezuela has been without a U.S. ambassador since July 2010.
Maduro is Chavez's self-anointed successor and has been taking on a larger role since the socialist leader urged Venezuelans to choose him as president before disappearing in early December to undergo a fourth round of cancer surgery in Cuba.
Venezuela's Constitution calls for snap presidential elections to be held if Chavez dies, and some analysts wondered whether Maduro's suggesting the country was under attack by U.S. subterfuge might not be an excuse to delay the election and tighten his grip on power.
The government announced late Monday that Chavez's condition was "very delicate" due to a "new, severe" respiratory infection threw an already anxious nation into even greater uncertainty
"We don't know if he's alive or if he's dead, because they are manipulating the public," Antonio Perez, a retired 60-year-old public servant, said of the government. "Everyone want to just see the president to know if it's true that he's still with us."
Supporters of the 58-year-old president prayed for Chavez on Tuesday at a chapel outside the military hospital where the government says he has been since Feb. 18.
Maduro aired his claim of an alleged attempt to destabilize "Venezuelan society" and the "political system constructed in recent years" before the nation's high command, and the governors of 20 of 23 states loyal to President Chavez, half of them former military officers.
He accused U.S. Embassy's Air Force attache Col. David Delmonaco of spying on Venezuela's military and seeking to involve officers in "destabilizing projects." Maduro gave Delmonaco 24 hours to leave, and U.S. officials said he had already departed the country.
Later Tuesday, Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said a second U.S. Air Force attache was being expelled, also for alleged espionage.
"Let's remember that active participation of the United States in the fascist coup of 2002," Jaua said.
Chavez had neither been seen nor heard from, except for photos released in mid-February, since submitting to a fourth round of surgery in Cuba on Dec. 11 for an unspecified cancer in the pelvic area. It was first diagnosed in June 2011.
The government said Chavez returned home on Feb. 18 and has been confined to Caracas' military hospital ever since.
Maduro said Tuesday that the government was "on the trail of other elements that figure in this entire venomous scenario and are seeking to stir up trouble."
The man Chavez defeated in Oct. 7 presidential elections, the youthful Miranda state Gov. Henrique Capriles, would be expected to represent the opposition in any new elections.

Synopsis: Based on Jill Ciment's novel, Heroic Measures, Ruth & Alex is set over a weekend where a couple (Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton) must decide whether or not to sell their Brooklyn walk up of 40 years. The story takes a comedic turn when the dynamic couple have to contend with eccentric open house guests, their pushy realtor niece, and the health of their beloved family dog — all while navigating a New York on edge from what turns out to be an media-generated terror threat.
To help sift through the number of new releases (independent or otherwise), we've created the Weekly Film Guide. Below you'll find basic plot, personnel and cinema information for today's fresh offerings.Read More »

Given the world as it is today, here are some questions I thought I would address to whoever has some answers to share. Feel free to respond to any or all of them, approach them however you want (philosophically, religiously, or otherwise) and be sure to elaborate on your answer as you deem necessary.
1. When you think about the future of our world, are you hopeful or pessimistic?
2. What, specifically, is it that makes you hopeful/pessimistic?
3. How do you think the world will turn out "in the end?"

The Trefot and Trifunctionalityby Vidar / Gungnir Hama AOR The number three takes a prominent numerical place in our faith, evidenced in our mythology, all Indo-European myths, symbols, theology and culture. The simple and organic numerology symbolised in the trefot symbol of the Odinic Rite serves to illustrate a basic theme of our troth and culture, that of functionalism, namely trifunctionality.

All I can say is that it will follow a new character's journey.
Please, if there is anything you would like to see in the new part just leave a comment on this post. Technobrains Inc suggested Stalin and…. TraDah!
Not sure if this is a good idea or not…. I'd also like to say thank you to everyone for playing. I can't believe anyone would be interested in such nonsense.
Also if you have any ideas what you'd like to see in hell feel free to say in a comment. I'm totally open to ideas.]]>

Held on March 9, the New Orleans leg of the CitySolve Urban Race sets packs of competitors loose through the city on an adult scavenger hunt. The competition begins at noon at The Bulldog, and check in runs from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Teams of up to four walk, skip, or run through the little-known nooks of New Orleans and nearby locales and solve clues and complete challenges that take them through neighborhoods such as the French Quarter, Lower Garden District, and Marigny.
CitySolve Urban Race
CitySolve Urban Race lets citizens explore their metropolis through a one-day odyssey that tests speed, stamina, and smarts. Teams scamper through their burb as they solve clues ranging from anagrams and pop-culture trivia to deciphering graffiti written in pig Latin. Interspersed throughout the race are mettle-testing physical challenges, molding iron wills to such tasks as dodgeball, improv comedy games, or identifying ice-cream flavors. Each day's race also awards winners for best costumes and best tweet. Each urban iditarod takes between two to three hours, and jet packs are strictly prohibited.

To turn bullets into gold in Arrange Mode you will first have to collect gems. Once you have gems you can change to Kakusai Mode (press :bbut:). In Kakusai Mode, bullets will turn to gold.
Since Kakusai Mode slows down the game and makes bullet patterns more intense, wait a little before shooting to maximize your gold outcome.

Simply clear Arrange Mode with all characters. Continues are allowed.
In Arrange Mode, you have 2 different kinds of bullets. Blue and Red. These can be cancelled by shooting them with different shot types. To cancel blue bullets shoot at them with your regular shot (tap :abut:) and to cancel red bullets shoot at them with your laser (hold down :abut:). I will check if you can set the rank to 1.

Just max out your gold counter by killing enemies in Kakusai Mode (press :bbut:). Once your gold counter reaches 1000, go into Kakusai mode. As soon as you run out of gems, you will go into Kakusai Overmode and your gold counter will start depleating. In Kakusai Overmode, all bullets are red but are all cancelled as long as you have gold so just hold down :abut: and wait for the achievement to pop up.

Select Tateha (the character on the right) and reach the 5th Stage Boss without losing a single life. This will make a much harder version of Seseri appear.
Once you've reached her you can be hit and continue as much as you like, just defeat her and the achievement is yours.
Can be done on Xbox 360 Novice mode but not on Black Label Novice.

just will not unlock...cant work out why :(
Phase 1: just destroy the boss
Phase 2: destroy the small cannons on each side of the boss, then destroy the boss itself
Phase 3: again just destroy the boss
Phase 4: destroy both cannons on each side, then destroy the boss
Phase 5: again destroy both cannons on each side BUT don't harm the boss any further. Instead wait until he self-destructs and you should get the achievement
can be done in Arcade / Xbox360 / Novice 360 modes (I suggest Novice 360 though...)
ah...cheers for the help :) ...have not been shooting the last phase at all!!
thanks for the help... but i still suck at this awesome game ;)
i'm quite new to bullet hell, you guys have any hints for beginners?
Espgaluda is kinda hard, harder than Futari 1.5. Maybe you should have started with this one, to get used to it.
In order to better understand the scoring system, etc... have a look at this, it should help: Click click.
Well, good luck ;)

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...1/UP9AdOE=.jpg Gain 1,000,000 Points by using bullet proximity slowdown in Overmode in 1 round
How can i split bullits ? and how can i get the other 2 achievements ???
If my memory serves me correct you can:
- split bullets by flying near them in Zetsushikai (hold Kakusei button when you have gems AND gold), you should even be able to fly through bullets as long as the blue bar in the lower right screen is filled
- lose points through bullet proximity slowdown: during normal play you can slow down bullets at close range but again only as long as the blue bar in the lower right is filled. This slowdown will also decrease our score, just use it until you have lost 1.000.000 points. Gold will fill up your blue bar again
- gain points through bullet proximity slowdown: only possible in Zetsushikai Over (note that in Black Label there are Zetsushikai Over and Kakusei Over which are different modes!!!). you enter Zetsushikai Over by entering Zetsushikai with more gold than gems and then let the gems run out. If you try to enter Zetsushikai with already 0 gems you will enter Kakusei Over instead which won't work! In Zetsushikai Over again fly close to bullets but this time you will get points instead of losing them. Just get 1.000.000 points that way (should go pretty fast).
Hope this helps :)
:Bounce:Yeah, that helps! A big "THANK YOU" 4 U (^_^)
The first boss fight has excellent opportunities for this, but you should be slowing and getting gold the whole time on this level as well.
Also, your proximity gauge is filled to half when you die in Novice. Go to the last stage with all the lives you can get, and in the boss fight, start doing suicides after you've emptied your gauge. You do get some gauge back from destroying forms of the bosses, but not much.
Thanks Helg0r for explaining the Zetsushikai Over activation, this helped me :)
hello, i get stuck at 475/1000. i got a few questions, to improve the guide.
someone please answer me :)
any method ?
any method ?
any method ?
how to grew your kasukei level ?
how to stay at this level ?
thanks goodbye :D
You're welcome :) I was confused by the Zetsushikai/Kakusei Over thing too at first so I'm glad that I could help.
as far as jokuzo's questions go:
1.) it is cumulative and counts across all games played in Arrange. A good way to grind gems/gold is playing as Tateha at rank 99*99 and then try to milk bosses as much as possible since gems and gold from converted bullets count. Grinding these two out took me around 35~40 hours so don't expect them to come fast...
2.) Forget about the "revenge" thing, it just means that a total of 10mil enemy bullets have been fired in Arrange. It will come naturally while going for the 10mil gem/gold achievement.
3.) Not cumulative, only your current credit counts. I'd advise you to play in Black Novice and get used to the chaining system there. Use Kakusei to cloud the screen with bullets and revert back to normal mode and cash in. Have a look at the top scoring replays to give you an idea what are good places for high combos and how effective chaining works in general.
4.) The two FINISH 1000 achievements are easily obtained during the stage 2 boss. At the end of phase 1 go into Kakusei and then chain the whole boss (it could be helpful if you use a continue during stage 1 to be at MAX-power). You just need to manage your gem-counter depending on whether you want to finish in Zetsushikai or Zetsushikai Over (see my post above for explanations regarding Zetsushika Over).
5.) The 2 extends in stage 1 have to be gotten in Arcade or Xbox360 modes, black Label and Arrange are NOT allowed. Again have a look at the top scoring replays how to accomplish this.
6.) Can be done in Arcade, Xbox360 and Novice360. Go into Kakusei without having any gems (or deplete all gems while already in Kakusei) to enter Kakusei Over. You should see a red circle around your character which slowly fills. Every time it is full your Kakusei levels is raised by one (this levels is retained during your whole credit). So simply let it fill three times and then stay in this mode for another 5 minutes. Should unlock somewhere during stage 3.
7.) + 8.) + 9.) Yes cumulative, Arcade, Xbox360 and Novice360 sgould count toward this.
10.) Try Black Label for this one
There you go :)
Ok guy's. I love Cave games realy, but this time...Espgaluda makes me crazy...
I don't get it with the two Zetsushikai or Zetsushikai Over FINISH achivements. I know the system:
Tap B
Kakusai (with chrystals and gold)
Kakusai Over (only gold)
Hold B
Zetsushikai (with chrystals and gold)
Zetsushikai Over (only gold)
I read all posts above...i don't get it.
I play Black Label Novice, default settings, Level 2, Boss (like metioned above)
I shot at him (normal) till right the end of phase 1, then i tag him with Kakusai and switch back to normal, finish him of, a chain till 300-400 appears. Same for phase 2.
Then the final phase, i let him fire his bullets, and hold B for Zetsushikai Over and finish him off....i ONLY get a combo of max. 700x...how the hell i get a 1000x finish?
Sorry for post no. 5 about this, but i try it 20 times and don't get it.
PS: Can i restart a level and still get achivements? Not realy or....???
Nope restarts are not allowed to get achievements :(
...but I might still be able to help you as I probably see what your flaw is (or maybe I didn't become clear enough before). When going for the 1000x finish during the 2nd stage boss, don't go out of Kakusei once you clear the first phase! This way you retain your combo-bar and can achieve the 1000 multiplier (if you can't make it try to start at the end of phase 2, it should still be enough...?)
Um it just came to my mind that you could also enter Zetsushikai directly instead of Kakusei, it should work too and you don't have to switch between Kakusei - Normal - Zetsushikai...
Hope that makes it clearer :)
(btw you can also try for these achievements during the 4th and 5th stage bosses but playing up to those and then failing is maybe even more frustrating than the stage 2 boss tactic)
EDIT: I did it, greaaaat. Just the first try! Thats so easy if you know how it's going.
QUESTION: Can i use the game options for every mode and achivement? Or do i must play "default"? That would be interesting! Thanks! :D
QUESTION: Which is the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...ts/1191/s9.jpgウェーッハッハッハー10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.png Destroy all of the Stage 4 boss's parts and defeat the last form by time-out
Which mode, i try Xbox 360 mode!? How long must i wait? Can i die during the waiting?
I nearly play the game 60 times, but after i destroy all his cannons he doesen't die?!? Btw, Timeout? It's the boss, how long does a "time out" go? Some people say it's not the boss of level 4 it's the mid boss of level 3 (got 6 cannons too)?!? Help would be great! :)
As a CAVE standard you have to play on default settings to unlock achievements (except for the rank related achievements in Arrange mode where you may alter the character ranks).
It is definitely the stage 4 boss. I would estimate that you have to wait 5-10 minutesfor him to time out. Dying is okay but I'm not sure about using a continue... can be done in Arcade / Xbox360 / Novice360. :)
Yep, this can be done in Novice mode to make the thing easier ;)
This may not be easier than the stage 2 boss strategy - especially retries take time - but it worked for me.
Thanks for the guide and the comments. Very useful.
thank you for your answers, i've unlocked a few more achievements ^^
thanks goodbye ^^
You're welcome. Here are some more answers :)
1.) Yes, you should be able to do this in any mode but I am not 100% certain about Black Label. Just to be on the safe side stick to Arcade / Xbox360 / Novice 360
2.) It can ONLY be done in Arcade / Xbox360. Novice or Omake are NOT allowed. To fight against Shin Seseri you need to raise the Kakusei level to 3 (stay in Kakusei Over until the red circle has filled three times) and make it to the stage 5 boss without losing a single life.
3.) There are roughly 300-400 Asagi clones per playthrough. For converting 100.000 bullets into gold I'd suggest going for the both-extends-in-stage1-achievement and it will come very quickly. Have a look at the leaderboards and try to mimic the top-scoring players.
thanks for your answers ^^
does the x500 canceled bullets in zetsushikai mode counts to the 100.000 counter ?
edit : auto answer, i just have got the achievement while i was in zetsishikai mode ^^ so yes it counts ^^
i've got the 15 lives achievements in the same playtrought ^^ 590/1000 ^^

I know this has been discussed in this thread already, but I have been trying for days to get this one. I cannot for the life of me get the timing down. I feel dumb, does anyone happen to have a video by chance, lol?
thx in advance.
It should be possible in Novice 360, so make sure you fulfill both requirements for Shin Seseri:
1. Don't get hit until you reach the stage 5 boss
2. Raise Kakusei level to 3 (to raise Kakusei level stay in Kakusei Over until the red circle has filled three times)
sorry for that stupid question - can't help it so :)

Senate Democrats propose income tax
By Kylee Zabel, Reporter
WNPA Olympia News Bureau
Senate Coalition-Majority Leader Rodney Tom (D-48th District, Bellevue) chastised Democrat members for playing politics and not taking the will of Washingtonians seriously by introducing five fiscal reform bills before the Senate Ways and Means Committee Feb. 14, Valentine's Day.
One, Senate Bill (SB) 5166, would eliminate the state's portion of the property tax and create an income tax. The legislation would also reduce the state's retail sales tax from 6.5 to 3.5 percent.
While it received a public hearing, comments made by Tom indicated that the legislation would not move forward in the Senate this session.
Legislation sponsor Sen. Maralyn Chase (D-32nd District, Shoreline) believes that an income tax is the appropriate response to the slowly improving economy and high rate of unemployment.
"Until our people, the workforce, have enough disposable income in their pockets to go out to our brick-and-mortar stores to buy durable goods, we are not going to have economic recovery, given our present tax structure," she said. "I think it's crucial that people begin to understand that consumption drives our system."
The state's revenue relies heavily on property, business and occupation (B&O) and sales taxes. Forty-three states levy a personal income tax, with the exception of Washington, Nevada, South Dakota, Wyoming, Alaska, Florida and Texas. Only seven of the 43 states have a flat-rate income tax.
Forty-five states collect a sales tax ranging from an average of 2 to 10 percent and most states have property taxes, typically administered by local jurisdictions.
While the legislation aims to eliminate the state's share of property tax, used primarily for education, counties would continue to levy local property taxes to support municipal and county services, Local sales tax also is excluded from the proposed legislation.
Lucinda Young of the Washington Education Association stated that an income tax would assist the legislature in meeting the requirements set out by the (Supreme Court's) McCleary decision to increase public education funding. The tax would also help address issues outside of the classroom that can potentially hinder student academic achievement. Young explained that when students are burdened with other concerns, such as hunger, poor health or poverty, it's more difficult for them to concentrate on their education.
"My members know that a child who is sick can't learn," she said. "So we don't believe that you can decimate the rest of the budget in order to meet this paramount duty."
An estimated $1.3 billion in revenue would be acquired within this current biennium if an income tax were to be instituted. In the 2015-2017 biennium, $6.6 billion would be expected.
In 2010, $8.8 billion was collected in property taxes and about 54 percent of that revenue is spent on public schools. The state sales tax is responsible for roughly 50 percent of the state's general fund.
If the bill were to take effect, the state would lose an estimated $1.05 billion for fiscal year 2015 and $2 billion in 2016, according to the legislation's fiscal note.
While proponents said that the income tax would provide a more reliable source of revenue to the state, opponents said that more jobs would be destroyed and small businesses would take a hit.
"The voters of this state have repeatedly said that they do not want a state income tax," said Tom, "yet here we go again hearing the same old proposals aimed at taxing our small-business owners out of business and taking every last dime out of the pockets of middle-class families."
Jason Mercier of the Washington Policy Center claimed that 67,810 private and public sector jobs would be lost by 2016 due to the impact an income tax would have on businesses, according to an economic model created by the Beacon Hill Institute of Suffolk University in Boston.
More than 650 full-time employees would be required to implement and administer the income tax if enacted, costing $125 million by the 2017-2019 biennium. Most of these job positions would be with the Department of Revenue and Board of Tax appeals. Program changes for record keeping would also need to be changed, also contributing to the $125 million price tag.
But the executive director of the Economic Opportunity Institute, John Burbank, said that Washington's current tax structure just isn't equitable.
In the current system, low-income families pay 17 percent of their income in taxes, middle-income families pay 10 percent and the top 1 percent contributes about 2.8 percent. Essentially, the poor are paying a greater share of their net earnings. According to the act's graduated three-rate structure, in which higher earners pay a higher tax rate, families with an income higher than $120,650 would pay $3,574 in taxes plus 6 percent of the excess over $120,650.
Burbank said that the proposed tax structure would increase taxes for millionaires by about $50,000. "If (the $50,000) remains with a millionaire, its likelihood is that it will be used for investments in Wall Street or a travel to Paris," Burbank said. "That's good for the French economy, but it doesn't do anything for our economy."
However, Trent England of the Freedom Foundation said that some of the people most heavily impacted from the bill are people who do directly invest in Washington's economy.
"Contrary to the cartoony view just presented of rich people in our state flying off to Paris, many of the people who would be impacted by a tax like this are small business owners, other business owners, people who do invest in our communities," said England.
"I think the idea that this somehow affects someone's pejorative, cartoony image of what a rich person is like is really offensive to many of the residents of our state," he continued.
During 2010, voters rejected Initiative 1098, which would have imposed an income tax on those in the top 1 percent by a 65 percent margin.
"If all they (Senate Democrats) want to do is introduce one ridiculous tax proposal after another, then I guarantee they are wasting their time," said Tom. "They either need to get serious and work with us on creating jobs, reforming education and producing a sustainable budget, or they need to get out of the way."

The problem is that I dont own any Apple device that will run this game. But my friend told me that this game is available on PC via Steam. I am going to download his game on my PC, but before I do, I wanted to know if the PC game is worth playing?

I'm trying to analyze a video file and detect if it has a network logo on the bottom right corner. I figured it might be easier if I just take a few random frames and see if they have a logo/water mark in common.
I just have no idea how to start. is there any to do this using API/Command line?

Oklahoma City Barons: Brandon Davidson returns to lineup
Defenseman Brandon Davidson, who underwent treatment for testicular cancer, returned Friday night. It was Davidson's first game since Oct. 28. He was in the starting lineup and received a standing ovation.
"I felt like I had been out forever," Davidson said. "I can't describe how much I missed the game and how much this meant to me. It was definitely a stepping stone moving forward. I was very emotional with all the fans being very appreciative."
Davidson played forward for the first time in years filling in for Antti Tyrvainen, who was sidelined by an upper body strain.
"I think it's the first time since I was 15 years old," Davidson said after Oklahoma City's 4-3 victory over Grand Rapids at the Cox Center. "It was definitely a change of pace, that's for sure."
Edmonton goaltender coach Fred Chabot has been in Oklahoma City all week working with three Barons goaltenders. Niko Hovinen, picked up off waivers by the Oilers, got his second consecutive start.
"It was a good chance for Freddie to see him in a game so he has something to go on," said Barons coach Todd Nelson. "Now he can work on certain things with Niko."
Veteran defenseman Theo Peckham, who has played 125 games with the Oilers the past two seasons, is with the Barons on a conditioning assignment.
"They say my weight is a little high," Peckham said. "It was a relief just to get back out there, to be part of a team. You practice every day, but when you skate by yourself afterward it can get pretty tiring."
Peckham was involved in the game-winning goal with 7:50 to play when Philippe Cornet tipped in Peckham's slap shot.
Signed earlier this week, veteran defenseman Randy Jones, 31, played for the first time in nearly 10 months since he was with Winnipeg last season. ... Forward Mark Arcobello was reassigned to Oklahoma City after playing one game with Edmonton. In his NHL debut, Arcobello played on a line with former Barons teammates Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle.

ScissorTales: In saving Red Andrews Christmas Dinner, Oklahoma City comes up big again
OKLAHOMA City has done it again. People in this generous city wasted no time rallying to save the annual Red Andrews Christmas Dinner, which just a week ago seemed headed for oblivion when it was announced it wouldn't be held this year due to health issues involving leading organizers.
Early this week, one of Red Andrews' nephews, Larry Cassil, said he would take on the challenge of hosting the dinner, a fixture since 1940s and which last year fed about 6,000 less-fortunate Oklahomans. By Wednesday, it was announced a foundation had been formed to make sure the dinner continues.
"Collectively we have implemented a plan to ensure the dinner's success in perpetuity," said attorney Robert Goldman, whose family has long been involved with the event. He said response to the original announcement had been "overwhelming."
Goldman is chairman of the foundation's board. Other board members are Cassil and attorney John Yoeckel, a member of the Oklahoma City Planning Commission.
"Many citizens in this city found the news of the discontinuation of the Red Andrews dinner unacceptable," said Teresa Rose, director of community relations for Chesapeake Energy Corp. "Calls were made, and we discovered that a lot of people felt the same way."
So the needy in our community still have a place to go on Christmas Day for a hot meal and a gift. Kudos.
Rising star
in the House
It hasn't taken long for U.S. Rep. James Lankford to make an impression on fellow Republican members. In April 2011, four months after taking office, Lankford, R-Oklahoma City, was chosen to give the Republican response to President Barack Obama's weekly radio address. He continued to shine as chairman of a House subcommittee on intergovernmental relations and with his work in helping craft a federal highway bill. This week his stock rose some more when he was elected chairman of the House Policy Committee, the No. 5 spot in the House Republican hierarchy. The committee helps craft GOP positions on issues and makes sure members are up to speed on them. Two of Lankford's Oklahoma colleagues saw this coming. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Moore, recently raved to us about Lankford's first two years, and Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Cheyenne, who's about to begin his 19th year in the House, called Lankford "the most unfreshman freshman I've ever seen." Congratulations!
Reid's revenge
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has grown weary of Republicans using filibusters to block legislation. So instead of forwarding better legislation, Reid is considering a vote in January to change the rules of the Senate — and doing so with the backing of a simple majority of members. It normally takes a two-thirds vote to change Senate rules. Reid says he doesn't want to end the filibuster, "but we're going to make the Senate a more meaningful place, we're going to make it so that we can get things done." That's comical coming from a man who hasn't seemed to mind that the Senate he controls hasn't submitted a budget proposal in three years. Changing the rules by simple majority is called the "nuclear option" for a reason. If he follows through, Reid is sure to feel the heat from that blast.
Hope over experience?
Critics have warned Oklahoma officials who are considering expansion of the Medicaid program in order to obtain Obamacare subsidies that the cost of the program is already unsustainable and will only get worse if more people are added to the rolls. Evidence for that argument can be seen in neighboring Arkansas where that state's Medicaid program has a shortfall of $358 million. Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe is proposing a combination of new spending (including one-time funds) and budget cuts to address the problem. And that's the situation without an expansion of the program. In Oklahoma, lawmakers in recent years have raided the Insure Oklahoma fund, which is meant to help citizens obtain private insurance, in order to prop up Medicaid. Medicaid's Oklahoma costs continue to escalate even without the Obamacare expansion. In both Oklahoma and Arkansas, an expansion of Medicaid could be the triumph of hope over budget experience.
Eating their own
Want a glimpse of what happens to businesses reliant on government regulation to stay viable? Take a look at California, where cheese makers benefit from a state law governing the price they pay for milk. The price has been so low that many dairies are now going out of business — an estimated 100 out of roughly 1,600 this year. Dairy owners obviously favor raising the price. Cheese makers argue a milk price increase could drive them out of business given the high cost of operating in California due to its other excessive regulations. To offset the impact of overreaching government regulations, cheese makers are forced to promote ... other overreaching government regulations. Instead of competing through the marketplace and letting consumers ultimately determine price, California's dairies and cheese makers must compete in lobbying state lawmakers. That's no way to run an economy.
Could be worse
Oklahoma Democrats, having further lost seats in the Legislature, may be licking their wounds but things could be worse. In Arkansas, Democrats lost a seat to a Green Party candidate due to self-inflicted wounds. Fred Smith won a state House race after a judge ruled that votes for his Democratic opponent could not be counted. Democratic Rep. Hudson Hallum had pleaded guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to commit election fraud and resigned from office after his name was placed on the ballot. Since no Republican filed for the seat, Smith won by default. Smith previously held the same seat as a Democrat before resigning when facing legal charges of his own. Still, losing to a Green Party candidate at the same time Republicans won control of the Arkansas Legislature had to be salt in the wound for Natural State Democrats.
In the Oklahoma House of Representatives, lawmakers take their oath of office in November, but the House speaker isn't formally elected until January. State Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, suggests that means the House Speaker-elect may not be authorized to expend funds during those two months. That's nonsense, because the House budget was authorized in July. Taken to its logical extreme, Reynolds' argument would have House employees go without pay for two months and then get back pay in January. What public purpose would that serve? Such pharisaical legalism is pointless, but then Reynolds often specializes in such objections. He once debated against his own amendment on the House floor. Reynolds' actions appear united not by ideological commitment, but by the unseemly desire to disrupt orderly operation of the Legislature — even when it's to the detriment of citizens and the cause of good government.

La Fuga
0 Shouts - 1,894,514 Scrobbles
Spanish rock band La Fuga were born in July of 1996 in Reinosa, a small industrial town south of Cantabria. Edu (drums), Rulo (guitar and voice), Fito (lead guitar and voice), and Inaki (bass) all left previous bands behind in hopes of forming a solid group. It was not long before La Fuga were performing regularly in Reinosa and the surrounding area. In June of 1997 the group took to the studio to record its first record, the self-produced El Camino. Thanks to local success and acclaim, the group was soon offered the opportunity to work with Fak Records on its first truly market-ready project, Mira. In the process, La Fuga lost Fito to other projects, yet took to the road anyway, touring to support their new record with a new lead guitar player, Nando. A short time later the group produced its second studio production, called A Golpes de Rock and Roll. The record's success and acclaim among local critics opened doors for further projects A Las Doce and Calles de Papel. The group's fifth record release, Negociando Gasolina, was issued in 2005, followed by Nubes y Claros: En Acústico in 2006. Read more on Last.fm.
