An overcast sky and the threat of heavy rains didn't stop fans from crowding Rumsey Playfield to see Brazilian pop star Maria Rita, who is currently touring in support of her new CD, Samba Meu (Warner Latina). Before the concert, she told us over an e-mail interview that she was looking forward to playing in Central Park.  "I remember the excitement that my friends and I had whenever we went to a concert in Central Park, and now I am playing there," she explained. "I feel like a child – my friends will all be there, it will be crazy... I am not ashamed to say that I am extremely excited about it."
Maria Rita began singing the title song from the new disc from backstage, and as she appeared she got a very warm welcome from her fans. Backed by a 6-piece band, she showcased mostly material from the new disc intertwined with some numbers from her previous works.
One tune that was very well received was "Pagu," a Rita Lee/Zelia Duncan composition that was pretty obscure until Maria Rita reinvented it for her debut disc, giving it a bluesy feel. Other crowd pleasers were Milton Nascimento's "Encontros e Despedidas" and "Caminho das Aguas," both of which were augmented in a live setting by the presence of percussion and guitar (she was accompanied by a piano trio in the studio).
Rita's voice was in a great shape, and she commanded the stage as well, constantly interacting with fans, who in turn joined in on practically every number. She closed the set with a cover of Alcione's classic  "Nao Deixe o Samba Morrer" and "O Homem Falou," a tune from Samba Meu."
The concert was followed by a screening of Walter Lima Jr.'s Os Desafinados, a touching film that follows the career of a fictional bossa-nova era band that comes to the U.S. to try to make it big in the music business while Brazil goes through the military dictatorship in the mid

There has not been much maintenance on sysctl in years, and as a result is there is a lot to do to allow future interesting work to happen, and being ambitious I'm trying to do it all at once :) The patches in this series fall into several general categories. - Removal of useless attempts to override the standard sysctls - Registers of sysctl numbers in sysctl.h so someone else does not use the magic number and conflict. - C99 conversions so it becomes possible to change the layout of struct ctl_table without breaking everything. - Removal of useless claims of module ownership, in the proc dir entries - Removal of sys_sysctl support where people had used conflicting sysctl numbers. Trying to break glibc or other applications by changing the ABI is not cool. 9 instances of this in the kernel seems a little extreme. - General enhancements when I got the junk I could see out. Odds are I missed something, most of the cleanups are simply a result of me working on the sysctl core and glancing at the users and going: What? Eric

Barnett (1-0) fanned six and retired the final 10 batters. The standout from High Point allowed just four singles and didn't walk a batter, lowering his season�s ERA to 0.45. It was his second complete game shutout of the season � this one against a team that reached the 2012 College World Series in Omaha.
Barnett's earlier gem came in a snow-shortened appearance against Dayton.
Gardner-Webb (7-2-1) jumped on top with a run in the first. JJ Nazzaro singled, moved up on a Ryan Hodge bunt and scored on Brad Collins� two-out single.
Nazzaro drove in the second run for the Runnin' Bulldogs, following Scott Johnson's leadoff single in the fifth for a 2-0 lead.
Nazzaro, a junior from Puyallup, Wash., beat out a bunt with two out in the seventh to spark GWU�s final rally. He then stole second, moved to third on a throw and after Hodge walked and swiped second, the pair scored on Scott Coleman�s two-run single.
The �Dogs collected 10 hits led by Nazzaro (3-for-5, 2 runs, SB, RBI) and Hodge (2-for-3, 2B, run, SB).
Stony Brook (0-8) got two of its four singles from Brett Tenuto (2-for-4). Starter Frankie Vanderka (0-2) allowed four runs on eight hits in 6.2 innings.
GWU faces host UNC Wilmington today at 2 p.m.

What is an offense?
An offense is your method to score baskets and get open shots against your opponent. Most coaches consider their offense to be a continuous motion or a play that can be run over and over again. It's common to have more than one offensive set, usually a primary offense and a secondary offense.
In addition, most basketball coaches will have a variety of set plays at their disposal. Set plays are usually just run through one time in special situations. For example, you might want to run a set play at the end of the game or when your offense is stagnant and you really need a basket. Then, if the set play doesn't work, you can flow into your primary offense.

- I am coaching 4th grade girls this year. at what point do you introduce the positions in basketball? How do you go about
doing that? I realize fundamentals are the key. After you teach shooting, rebounding, passing, defense, dribbling, what is the
next step to take with these kids? When does setting screens, cutting to the basket, a basic offense and reviewing the
positions on the floor start?

For all of you that I didn't send the mass mailing to, I was on TV!
C|net has a show called News.com that salks about suit crap and online trends and stuff. They mirror the show's segments online. We're the fourth story down, called "Risque Business".
I know. I didn't title it.
FYI - The stripper barbie they show - thats my desk.
Filthy and I had the following conversation about Tomb Raider today...
Slappy: You know what, in Tomb Raider, when Croft was wearing dresses and "normal" clothes, she has regular (yet spectacular) Jolie Boobies. When shes in the "costume" of grey t-shirt and twin desert eagle .50s, those things DOUBLED IN SIZE!These are conversations married men in their 30's DO have on a daily basis.
The best part of seeing Tomb Raider was seeing Angelina Jolie in the 1995 Classic film Hackers the next day, where she plays hot young hacker "Acid Burn".
What a huge piece of crap that flick is.

|7 Aug 1820
|Joseph was listed as the head of a family on the 1820 Census at Abbeville District, South Carolina. Unaccounted for is 1 male 26-45 and 1 female 26-45..7
|after 7 Aug 1820
|He died at Abbeville District, South Carolina, after 7 Aug 1820.
|An entry from the Biographical Directory of the Senate of the State of South Carolina' 1776-1964, 8 notes that Joseph was "possibly the son of Joseph and Liddy Culpeper." A source or reason for the speculation was not given. Liddy has been identified in land grant records, 9 but it seems likely that the Joseph noted in the same records was her son and not her husband. Liddy and a possible husband will be covered in the next generation.
Lacking any record of Joseph's birth and lacking proof of his parentage, it is necessary to look for clues in extant records and to compile circumstantial evidence. A 1767 deed 10 shows "Joseph Culpeper of Craven County planter" acquiring 100 acres of land from Joseph Jackson, "situate in the fork of Santee & Wateree Rivers, William Thomson, J. P." This record would seem to indicate that Joseph was at least 21 years old by 1767 which would mean that he was probably born before 1746.
On April 3, 1772, Joseph received a royal grant 11 of 400 acres "situate in Craven County on Tom's Creek in the fork between Santee River & the Wateree." In 1769, this portion of Craven County was designated as part of the Camden District and a 1773 map of South Carolina shows, as do today's maps. that Tom's Creek is in the fork of the Congaree and Wateree Rivers which join to form the Santee River. But the land grant was in the same area as the land that Joseph had acquired in 1767 and was very close to the land granted to Liddy Culpeper in 1771.
Joseph was probably in his mid 20's by this time and, although it is not unreasonable to assume that he was or had been married, no record of a wife or children has been found. If, as seems likely, Joseph was the oldest son with a widowed mother and there were younger brothers to look after, he might have put off marriage until the family seemed more settled.
Joseph probably would have been in his early 30's when the Revolutionary War began and, according to a record copied from the list of the Continental Service of South Carolina, "Joseph Culpeper" served as a private in "the 3d South Carolina Regt Commanded by Col. Wm. Thomson" from August 20, 1776. 12 By September of 1781, when he was wounded at the Battle of Eutaw Springs, 13 Joseph was serving as a first lieutenant in Alexander's Troop, 14 Wade Hampton's Regiment, Sumpter's Brigade and on October 1, 1784 he was authorized to receive 141 pounds sterling as "pay and bounty" for his service after April 1, 1782. 15 From 1781 through 1783, Joseph also furnished sheep, and, according to a note by Lt. Col. W. Hampton, Joseph "had a waggon & team in the service of the Brigade of State Troops from 18th June to 25th Nov. 1782 inclusive." 16
Although the Revolutionary War effectively ended when General Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, British troops continued to hold Savannah until July of 1782 and Charleston until December of 1782 and the Treaty of Paris was not signed until September 3, 1783.
Sometime prior to 1782, Joseph acquired 270 acres on Sandy Run Creek near the "Saxagotha Township" in the Orangeburg District across the Congaree River from the Camden District. The land was near what is now the town of Sandy Run in Calhoun County in an area that was designated Lexington District in the 1800 census and which formally became Lexington District in 1804. In 1782, Joseph represented Saxa Gotha in the Fourth General Assembly of South Carolina.
But Joseph still had ties and probably still owned land in Camden District, SC. On October 17, 1783, he was noted, along with Richard Perdue and Morris Moore, in Camden District, SC records witnessing the will of William Goodwyn, Sr.17
Sometime prior to 1785, Joseph married Ann Theiler, the widow of William Geiger. will probated 1 Jul 1781. 18 The marriage to Joseph Culpeper was her third since she had been married previously to Jacob Geiger who died in 1772 by whom she had a son, John. 19
In addition to his continuing service in the South Carolina Assembly, Joseph was also active locally, serving as justice of the peace for Lexington County in 1786 and as tax inquirer for Saxe Gotha from 1786 through 1787. 13
In 1788, as a delegate from Saxe Gotha to the state convention which was held to consider the adoption of the Federal Constitution, Joseph Culpeper voted against ratification. 13
Joseph was elected sheriff of Orangeburg District, SC January 24, 1789 whereupon he resigned his seat in the General Assembly. 13 On 16 Mar 1789, Sheriff Culpepper sold 150 acres on the waters of the Saluda to Rignall Williams. 20
In 1790, Joseph was recorded in the first census of the United States and three males 16 years of age or older and three females were noted in the household. Subtracting out Joseph, his wife, Ann, and her son, John, that leaves one male and two females unidentified. They could have been relatives of Ann or, because of the close ties to Joseph and his family, the third male could have been John Culpepper and one of the two additional females could have been Liddy Culpeper, if she was still living. The other female might even have been John Culpepper's mother but this is only speculation and cannot been proven. Benjamin, Joseph's brother, was also noted in the 1790 Orangeburg District, SC census. No other Culpeper was listed as a head of household in the 1790 South Carolina census.
Joseph Culpeper represented Saxa Gotha at the State Constitutional Convention in 1790. 13 September 6, 1790, the State of South Carolina granted "Joseph Culpeper Esqr" 200 acres of land "in the District of Orangeburgh on the third Branch of Bull Swamp Waters of Edisto River" for his service in the Revolutionary War.21 In 1791, Joseph served as a member of a commission to open and improve navigation on the Congaree River and he also served as road commissioner in 1788 and 1792. 13
In 1792, Joseph was elected to represent Saxa Gotha in the South Carolina Senate, an office which he held until 1796. 22 Joseph appears to have been re-elected as Sheriff since he is noted as Sheriff of Orangeburg in a February 1797 Edgefield District, SC deed 23 deeding land to Richard Bolan.
Joseph is next noted in the 1800 census in Lexington District, SC. John Culpepper and his young family were living nearby. Joseph's brother, Benjamin, was noted with his family in Edgefield District, SC. Subtracting out Joseph, his wife and young son, Joseph Richard' from the 1800 census record leaves a number of people residing with Joseph unaccounted for: one 0-10 year old male, one 16-26 year old male' one 26-45 year old male' one 0-10 year old female, and one 10-16 year old female. Joseph's step-son, John Geiger, might have been one of the older males. Though the other's might have been related, their identity is unknown.
Joseph was noted as being from Orangeburg District, SC in 1807, when he signed a $20,000 administration bond dated December 14, 1807 regarding the estate of Daniel Peak/Peake/Peek. Joseph Culpeper co-signed the bond with John Culpepper who was named one of the administrators of the estate. Joseph would probably have been at least in his early 60's.
Joseph's death is a mystery not just because no will or estate records have been found but also because his own son does not appear to have known even the year of his death. The only notice that has been found of Joseph's death is from an 1856 letter in Joseph's Revolutionary War Pension file 24 from Barnabas Strickland, who was acting as an agent for Joseph's son, Joseph Richard Culpepper. The letter states that Joseph Culpeper died between 1807 and 1810.
Joseph's family was listed in Abbeville District, SC in the 1810 census. The oldest male (Joseph) is shown as 45+, and there is an entry for a male 10-16, who would be Joseph Richard. There are also two males listed as 16-26 and they are otherwise unaccounted for.
In 1813, Jospeh filed suit against Esais Taylor in Lexington District, SC (Case #10, Mfilm # LX 6, Lexington District Papers, 1806-1870)
On 2 Apr 1816, Joseph, along with Wm. Cochran and W. Bradley Lewis, made an inventory of the estate in Abbeville District of John Stokes, Sr. 25
A deed of gift dated May 24, 1818, was found in the SC Archives by Sarah Hodnett Murphy (granddaughter of Louise Culpepper Murphy) in Book D, page 57, miscellaneous records. She writes: "In this deed Joseph gave all of his land, property, slaves, etc. (I think from my notes that he reserved a life estate, which may explain why there are no probate records for his estate after his death) to his son, Joseph Richard Culpepper. He further provided that one slave girl, Cynthia, be given to Joseph Richard's daughter, Sarah Ann Culpepper, in trust, or to the next oldest daughter if Sarah died. I made a notation that Joseph's wife, Ann, could not write her name."
Joseph appears to be on the 1820 census in Abbeville District, with his wife Ann still living, and perhaps his son Joseph Richard and his family living in the household as well.
After a review of the record, it seems probable that Joseph was born in colonial America since he was so active during the Revolution serving as a soldier and provisioning the troops. He was a man of enough substance that he was able to purchase land when he initially came to South Carolina. He was respected enough by his neighbors to be elected to the South Carolina Legislature several times. The names Joseph, John and Benjamin seem to tie in with those of descendants of Robert Culpeper of Norfolk Co., VA, whose father was probably the original immigrant to Virginia. Circumstantial evidence based on the proximity of land suggests that Lydia or "Liddy" Culpeper was possibly the widowed mother of Joseph, John and Benjamin.
Joseph married Ann Theiler, daughter of Hans Jacob Theiler and Magdalena Belon, circa 1783, in Orangeburg District, SC. Born: circa 1742 (?), in Saxe Gotha, SC.

Argentina Reinstates Import Ban on Used Clothing
Argentina has reinstated for a period of five years a ban on the importation of used clothing, clothing accessories, blankets and travelling rugs, bed linen, table linen, toilet linen, kitchen linen and other textile furnishings classified under NCM 6309.00.10 and 6309.00.90 from all sources. This prohibition expired at the end of last year but had previously been in place almost uninterruptedly for more than two decades.
Argentinean authorities indicate that subject merchandise is typically imported in bulk, pallets, sacks (bags) or similar containers. The prohibition is aimed at safeguarding public health and safety and protecting the environment by ensuring that goods that do not comply with minimum sanitary and safety standards are not imported into the country. Argentinean regulations include an exception for used textile and clothing items imported as donations under certain circumstances.

This year has seen a number of changes made by this government about EU migrant workers and benefits, and access to benefits. These changes include denying access to housing benefit for new claimants; limiting receipt of job seekers allowance to three months; and checks on claimants improving ability to speak English. The Roma Support Group, with other agencies, is supporting a "call for evidence" about how these changes are directly affecting particularly the Roma communities in the UK.

text: Culture 5 February 1999 Africa dreaming Country of My Skull Antjie Krog Jonathan Cape, 304pp, £16.99 The Burden of Memory, t Sign-up South Africa and Nigeria are, actually or potentially, the twin giants of the African continent, even if their appallingly bloody recent histories threw up seemingly impassable barriers against a more hopeful future. South Africa seems to have come through those barriers, in a transformation that is routinely, and not foolishly, called miraculous - though it would indeed be foolish to understate its fragility or ambiguity. Nigeria, still under military rule after several failed or deliberately aborted transitions to democracy, has its future hanging in the balance. A key element, perhaps the most truly magical one, in South Africa's "miracle" has been the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Headed by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, one of the most remarkable moral figures of our times, it was charged by the new government with compiling the fullest possible picture of past human rights abuses; to establish the truth of that terrible recent past, and through doing so prevent its perpetuation. Truth and reconciliation were seen as inseparably linked; neither was possible without the other. Country of My Skull is an observer's account of the TRC's hearings and the events around them by a South African radio reporter and important Afrikaans poet. Simultaneously, Wole Soyinka - Nigeria's (and perhaps Africa's) greatest writer, but also its most famous political dissident - has pondered the wider meanings of the TRC and asks what lessons it may carry for his own country and indeed for the whole continent. Krog's and Soyinka's books, composed thousands of miles apart though equally impassioned, are thus yoked together with surprising intimacy. Krog's account is compelling, well written and moving. But it is open to some sharp criticisms - and they've not been lacking in responses to the book within South Africa. In placing herself, her reactions and mood swings so much at the centre of the story as she follows the appalling testimony of the victims, is Krog not displaying a distasteful narcissism? Doesn't her "postmodern" scepticism about the notion of historical truth, interspersing her documentary account with fictionalised autobiographical passages, involve a kind of intellectual frivolity when set against the weight of pain the commission documents? And her confrontations with her own prejudices, including the admission that she cannot "read" the emotions and body language of her fellow black citizens as easily as the whites, might be thought either admirably honest or disconcertingly self-indulgent. Krog's book should ideally be read alongside the TRC report itself (available in its entirety online at http://www.truth.org.za). The report, not just a dry summation, allows victims, survivors and perpetrators to speak for themselves. It includes the commissioners' own reflections on what makes people become oppressors, or on the links between masculinity and violence. Soyinka's latest non-fiction book is less impressive, and seemingly less carefully crafted, than its immediate predecessor on the Nigerian crisis, The Open Sore of a Continent (1996). Indeed its two halves - the first more directly political, musing on the ideas of reconciliation, reparations, forgiveness, truth and memory in the aftermath of tyranny; the second a more literary reflection on the legacy of the "negritude" poets - are only loosely articulated, with the South African example the connecting thread. The text veers between acute insights and portentous generalisations. Soyinka arouses passions, especially among his fellow Nigerians, as strong as those he expresses himself. The pro-government Nigerian press has recently been filled with unpleasant and, if even a quarter true, damaging stories about Soyinka's behaviour. That's only to be expected, and could easily be dismissed were it not that some of the same accusations are repeated by more independent-minded critics, and are circulating widely among the global Nigerian Internet community. Soyinka brings to his political writings the same taste for polemic and satire that make his plays so compelling. He is a forceful, scathingly funny critic of his literary and political opponents; but he is not a discriminating or magnanimous one. He may not be the "tribalist" that some enemies have called him but he can refer, gratuitously, to people's ethnic origins, and his justified pride in the cultural achievements of his own Yoruba tradition sometimes shades towards chauvinism. And he couldn't be called a consistent political thinker. In some places he warns solemnly and movingly against the desire for revenge that so often follows the fall of dictatorship and which South Africa has so far impressively avoided. It is clear, though, that Soyinka himself cannot resist the impulse to vengeance. Wole Soyinka aspires, it seems, to become Nigeria's Vaclav Havel: a philosopher-president overseeing the country's passage back to democracy. He certainly has the intellectual standing and courage for the role. It remains to be seen whether he can achieve the generosity of spirit - the capacity to bring people together - of a Havel, Nelson Mandela or Tutu. Despite being a country of such potential wealth and creativity, Nigeria remains mired in autocracy, corruption and factional violence. Soyinka may be too volatile, too much the angry old man, to attain the required qualities to lead the country back to democratic health.

Care for some free cash on PartyPoker and Poker770?
It sounds too good to be true, but it is true, and it's exclusively available to our loyal PokerNews readers. Right now, you can get your hands on a free $50 on each Poker770 and PartyPoker, and it's surprisingly simple!
Get a Free $50 From Poker770
PokerNews and Poker770 have joined forces to kick-start your bankroll with $50. All you have to do is download Poker770 through PokerNews, enter the bonus code "news50uk," and fill in and submit the details on the form.
Once you've completed those steps and your account has been verified, your account will be credited with $25 immediately. Earn at least one Poker770 point within the first 60 days of receiving that bonus, and you lock up that money. Fail to do so, and you will forfeit your right to the money. The second $25 will then be released when you earn just 500 Poker770 points within 120 days.
This promotion is applicable to players in Andorra, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Greece, Holland, Iceland, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the U.K.
If you live in any of the following countries, the situation is a little different, but you can still get the full free $50: Argentina, Belarus, Bolivia, Chile, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, India, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Madagascar, Mexico, Montenegro, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, Ukraine, Uruguay or Venezuela.
For the aforementioned countries, the free $50 will be split into three parts instead of two. The first $10 will be released into your Poker770 account immediately, another $20 will be released once you have earned 500 Poker770 points within 120 days, and the final $20 will be released once you have earned another 500 Poker770 points within 120 days.
Here are a few other frequently asked questions with helpful answers:
Q: I signed up to Poker770 through PokerNews a long time ago. Am I eligible for the Poker770 $50 FREE offer?
A: If you have not made a deposit or taken advantage of any Poker770 $50 FREE offer in the past, you may be eligible for this offer. If you are not eligible we still invite you to check out Club PokerNews for more offers and promotions at Poker770 and our other featured poker rooms.
Q: I signed up to Poker770 through another site's promo code. Can I still get the Poker770 $50 FREE?
A: Unfortunately, no. This one-of-a-kind promotion is only available via the PokerNews network. If you already signed up through another site, we still invite you to check out Club PokerNews offers and promotions at our other featured poker rooms.
Q: I don't want to participate in the Poker770 $50 FREE promotion, I would like to deposit and receive a first-deposit bonus, how do I get that?
A: Simply send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com in order to receive a generous first-deposit bonus.
What's more, the free Poker770 cash can be easily withdrawn thanks to the low play-through requirements. Either generate just $50 in cash-game rake/tournament fees or just make a deposit of $100 or more into your Poker770 account and you will be able to cash out your free $50. Furthermore, you can withdraw any profits over the initial $50 any time you like.
Get a Free $50 From PartyPoker
For years, PartyPoker has been offering an excellent selection of cash games and tournaments. Now they're offering a great promotion, as well, by giving PokerNews players a free $50. All you need to do is follow the simple steps below:
- Download the PartyPoker software through PokerNews
- Create a new PartyPoker account and enter the bonus code "UKFREE50"
- Fill in the registration form in the PartyPoker cashier
- Return to PokerNews and fill in our small registration form
- Check your email inbox for a confirmation email from firstname.lastname@example.com
Once you have received a confirmation email, $20 will be placed in your PartyPoker account. You must earn at least 40 PartyPoints before you will be able to withdraw the free $20. If you do not earn 40 PartyPoints within 60 days, the initial $20, or whatever remains of it, will be forfeited.
PartyPoints are earned at a rate of two PartyPoints per $1 in rake or tournament fees, so earning 40 within 60 days should be a very easy task even for those of you who play at the micro-stakes. These requirements will be even easier to fulfill if you play on the new FastForward Poker tables, PartyPoker's "fast-fold" poker variant.
Once you have earned 40 PartyPoints, a further $30 will be deposited into your account, bringing the total free cash amount to $50. You must then generate 160 points before you can cash out any of the $30 and must do so within 120 days otherwise the $30, or the remainder of it will be forfeited. Again, meeting the requirements is quite easy especially when you consider you have almost four months to do so.
Here are some answers to other frequently asked questions to help shed some light on the promotion:
Q: Why should I sign-up for $50FREE?
A: With NO DEPOSIT requirement, you can start your PartyPoker career with a $50 bankroll Risk Free! Plus, as a member of Club PokerNews you will automatically qualify for all our EXCLUSIVE PartyPoker promotions.
Q: I signed up to PartyPoker through another site's promo code? Can I get $50FREE?
A: No. This one of a kind free money promotion is only available via the PokerNews Network. If you were unlucky enough to sign up through another site, we still invite you to check out Club PokerNews offers and promotions at our other featured poker rooms.
These two special offers are only available to new PartyPoker and Poker770 customers who have yet to make a deposit onto either site.

The last trailer for UnchainBlades follow-up, UnchainBlades Exxiv, focused on the variety of artists contributing designs to the RPG—from KEI of Hatsune Miku fame to Xenoblade's Kumihiko Tanaka—as well as the music by Nobuo Uematsu's band, The Earthbound Papas. The new trailer, "A Chain Called Fate," still proudly displays all that, while also showing off the story, dungeon crawling, and battle system.
UnchainBlades Exxiv hits Nintendo 3DS and PSP in Japan on November 15, and includes a premium DVD featuring a look at the character designs, a mini-soundtrack, creator interviews, promotional videos, opening animation, and more. The previous game, UnchainBades ReXX, was released in North America as Unchained Blades.

The Olubadan, Oba Odulana Odugade, yesterday said President Goodluck Jonathan's visit to the Alaafin is selective and capable of jeopardising the peace and bringing the Ibadan chieftaincy institution to disrepute.
In a statement by the Secretary of the Oyo State Council of Obas, the Olubadan said while members of the council awaited the president's arrival, Jonathan, accompanied by Governor Abiola Ajimobi, breached the protocol of visiting him first as the council's chairman and went to the palace of Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III.
He said the action showed that Ajimobi still recognises the Alaafin of Oyo as the permanent chairman of the Oyo Council of Obas and Chiefs, contrary to the Chieftaincy Law as amended in 2011 in Cap 37 of the Oyo State Laws, 2000, which says the chairmanship should be rotated among the Alaafin, the Olubadan and Soun of Ogbomoso every two years.
The Olubadan urged the President and Ajimobi to "desist from misleading acts that can disrupt the peace in the state".
