Footballers call for racism fines to pay for anti-racism campaigning.
Managers, players and ex-pros back call for racism fines to pay for anti-racism campaigning.
Names from across English football have endorsed calls from Show Racism The Red Card (SRtRC) for FA fines in racist cases to be given to anti-racism campaigns.
SRtRC has called for all fines in cases of racist abuse, for example the recent cases of John Terry and Luis Suarez, to be split 50-50 between its campaign and Kick It Out.**
This is a great idea - football is a very powerful vehicle for combating racism. It's the duty of everyone in the football family to help support the fight against racism in the game and society at large. The FA should definitely make this happen."
Those who have already backed the call include former-England manager Graham Taylor, Robbie Keane, former-England defender Sol Campbell, former-Sunderland player Kevin Ball, former-England and Liverpool legend John Barnes, former-Newcastle forward David Kelly and former-full back John Beresford.
A teenager has admitted in court that he lied to police as to his whereabouts on the day of the alleged attack.

Interpretations: Contemporary Jewish Art is mixed media exhibit which includes concrete sculptures such as Hebrew Letter Eggs, by Chattanooga artist Kem Alexander, multi-media paper works and handmade artist books such as a Box for Queen Esther by South Carolina artist Jane (Sheindal) Muller, and collage paper cuts such as Sabbath by Atlanta artist Flora Rosefsky.
The exhibit includes the artists' interpretations of Biblical stories in Hebrew, Yiddish and English as well as the visualizations of Jewish rituals and festivals, and the joyous journey of spiritual life.
"We are excited to showcase high quality art work that is playful, educational and celebratory." says Ann Treadwell, program director and exhibition curator. "Each artist has made her mark illustrating significant life cycle events."
Kem Alexander: Kem's work has recently been purchased by the Tennessee State Museum after winning Best in Show at the 2012 TACA Best of Tennessee exhibit. Her work has shown in Chattanooga, Nashville, Birmingham and Atlanta.
Jane (Sheindal) Muller: Jane is a self-taught artist, a poet, and is the director of Jewish Studies at the Columbia Jewish Day School. Her work has been exhibited in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee.
Flora Rosefsky: Flora began her career as a self-taught folk artist while living in upstate New York and later studied art at Syracuse University and Binghamton University. Rosefsky has exhibited her work in one woman shows as well as juried competitions and selected invitational shows.
The second exhibit is a part of P2G (Partnership Together) a program of the Jewish Agency for Israel and local Jewish Federations. Windows of Identity is a joint exhibition of artists from the Hadera-Eron region of Israel and the Southern United States. A total of 50 artists were engaged in a project to express through their art, their Jewish identity, Israeli and Zionist character. Each artist was given a 40 inch by 40 inch format on which to create his or her work. This exhibit has shown in Israel, in Nashville and is scheduled to continue touring through the Southeastern United States. Local papercutting artist, Deborah Tepper, is among the artists whose work is included in the exhibit.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Chattanooga and its programs are open to everyone regardless of religious affiliation. The Jewish Federation of Greater Chattanooga builds and fosters a strong unified Jewish community and strives to ensure its well-being and continuity locally, in Israel, and throughout the world.

Take women's labor-force participation. From 1950 to 2000, it surged from 30.9 percent to 59.9 percent; but in 2012, it was 57.7 percent, with the falloff starting before the recession. Some older women are retiring; some younger women are staying home. High-school and college graduation rates have leveled off and, in some cases, declined. Business investment rates have also dropped. It seems that "only a surge in [innovation] can keep U.S. economic growth from faltering," writes Lindsey. But innovation, too, has weakened.
Admittedly, predictions like these aren't infallible. Actual growth could exceed expectations. Still, slow growth is more than scare talk. When adjusted for population increases, it reduces per capita income gains to 1 percent to 1.5 percent annually, Lindsey calculates. That's half to three-quarters the historical rate. The amount is small enough to be skimmed off by rising taxes, higher health insurance premiums or growing inequality. For many households, it would mean stagnation or worse.
What looms — it's already occurred in Europe — is a more contentious future. Economic growth serves as social glue that neutralizes other differences. Without it, economic and political competition becomes a game of musical chairs, where "one person's gain is another's loss," King writes. There's a "breakdown of trust," as expectations are continually disappointed. It's an often ugly process that is convincingly confirmed by Washington's current political firestorm.

As someone who speaks on this subject of framerates a lot, I'll break it down again for people who don't care. For most games, 30fps, or even sub 30fps, may not even matter. For slow adventure titles, puzzle games, or anything else that doesn't require precision inputs from the player, a lower framerate is manageable. It might cut down on motion blur and other nauseating effects (especially in VR), but games are generally playable.

But for action titles, especially ones that rely on frame-perfect moments and combos (like the Souls games, or the Devil May Cry series), a consistent 60fps framerate is desirable. Having the game slow down or blur during a moment where a crucial dodge or combo is required, forcing an untimely death, isn't a fun gameplay experience. Some people enjoy a lower framerate as a "cinematic experience" -- which is fine -- but it causes problems for many players.

Thankfully, the folks over at Team Ninja have allowed options for both mindsets in the recent Nioh demo. You can opt for a "movie mode," which results in better visuals, or an "action mode" that sports a smoother framerate. Whether this will be included in the final version is yet to be seen, but I love that it's there, and would placate both hardcore and casual action fans alike. In fact, I can see myself using both in my playthrough, swapping to action mode when facing off against bosses.

Nioh, Team Ninja's latest action romp that actually doesn't look half bad, is getting a demo today. Not just any demo either -- as this one will only be available for a limited time.

Yep, you have from today until May 5 to grab it, and then it'll be gone. The demo allows the use of the spear, axe, and katana weapon types. After completing it, players will net the "Mark of the Conqueror DLC," which will contain "exclusive in-game content" when it actually launches.

My guess is some lame weapon skin add-on or something that you'll outlevel in an hour but who knows?! At this point you really have nothing to lose, outside of potentially wasting your time given Team Ninja's inconsistent recent track record.

A trailer was released alongside the announcement that Team Ninja's Nioh would be getting a demo on the PlayStation 4 this month, as seen above.

In the YouTube comments, viewer Alucard3362 begged the developers to include dismemberment with "Dismemberment please!", to which Team Ninja responded that the game "will have it for the West."

While the developers didn't outright say the feature would be exclusive to the Americas and Europe, it certainly seems implied.

Does that mean that Japanese players are getting a censored version? I thought the Japanese version was always the original version as it was intended to be played. Does that mean our version will be the "uncensored version" or is this just another case of a game being localized to fit the culture of a different part of the world? We all know America has no problem with depicting violence while Japan doesn't mind showing skin on characters of varying ages.

I, for one, am outraged for Japan.

Somehow Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune manages to have even less gameplay than previous titles, and even more focus on sexualization -- one cast member that doesn't look quite legal -- but maybe you're into that? Hope you're also into grinding put in place to tempt you to buy microtransactions because that is a hot new feature you can only find in this Asia exclusive title.

Nioh, where have you been? These past few eras have been filled with misfires like Ninja Gaiden 3 -- we could use a savior like you.

Last year while attending TGS, I wasn't able to preview Team Ninja's upcoming Nioh, as it was merely a video demonstration. Finally, months later, the developer has made the session public, and holy shit it's like a modern day Onimusha, and there may even be a few Souls elements in there (see 0:54).

This has always looked good but this demo single-handedly shot up my interest meter.

As much as I like the idea of that hunks-in-swimsuits story sitting at the top of the site's Dead or Alive feed for eternity, release date news and screenshots of another character and stage in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round are worth touching on.

The next few content drops are going to be crossovers. Naotora Ii from Samurai Warriors will debut in Last Round for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 17, 2016, followed by an appearance in the PC version on March 29. She's $5.99 standalone, or $11.99 bundled with her "debut" costume pack (which is $7.99 on its own). There can never only be just one set! Speaking of: a Samurai Warriors costume pack for existing DoA characters drops on March 29.

There's also a bit of free content. Dead or Alive 3's Azuchi stage, based on Oda Nobunaga's real-world Azuchi Castle, hits Last Round (PS4 and Xbox One) on March 17.

Lastly, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja did that thing games do where they try to justify why a crossover character would show up to fight in a different time period. It's sufficiently silly:

"Dragged into a mysterious portal by-way-of a M.I.S.T. time-traveling experiment, the ruler of Japan's Warring States era Ii Clan, Naotora Ii, emerges in present-day next to a competitor of the Dead or Alive fighting tournament. Given no other choice but to fight for her life, and keeping her family motto of 'once on the battlefield, one must face the enemy head on' in mind, a determined Naotora sets out to emerge victorious from this strange new challenge."

If that doesn't make sense yet, it might after you rummage through this gallery. (It won't.)

It's a damn shame that Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 isn't coming to the west, because, as these newly released screens show, the game has some amazing lookin' environments. It's obvious that Team Ninja put a lot of love and care into the gorgeous aesthetics. Makes me wish I could trade the chilly December weather for a Caribbean island right now!

It's not just volleyball, clapping titties, and virtual reality you're getting with Dead or Alive Xtreme 3. No, no, no. As shown off in this new video, there's also tug-of-war and pool crossing minigames. The latter would be pretty fucking hard in real life. Which one of you has a pool?

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is coming to PS4 and Vita in Japan on February 25. There's an English version coming to Asia, but no explicit word on a Western release.

Dissidia Final Fantasy launches in Japanese arcades on Nov. 26, Square Enix announced today.

The three-on-three arena fighter is in development at Koei Tecmo's Team Ninja, the studio best known for its work on the Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden series.

While the arcade machines for the game were developed using PS4 hardware, Square Enix producer Square Enix producer Ichiro Hazama previously stated fans shouldn't expect a console release until the arcade version has been out for at least a year.

Maybe another reason to go to Japan, as if there weren't enough already.

Costco no longer sells its bulk chicken breasts in individually wrapped two-breast packs. Now it's just a giant plastic sack full of chicken breasts. Imagine: me, you, and some friends. We each grab a couple breasts and proceed to have an infectious little slap fight with them, slimy and smacky and still cool from the fridge.

That's all I can think about seeing this powerful display of PS4 physics and disgusting booty bump sound effects. These characters are silicone skin membrane filled with chicken breasts and imbued with enough sentience to flail and slap and slop around like a brain dead octopus thrown onto a dock.

Dead or Alive Xtreme fans will probably be thrilled to hear Team Ninja will be taking things up a notch, as the developer has revealed plans to incorporate PlayStation VR functionality in its next risqué beach volleyball game, Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune for PlayStation 4.

The new technology should help players ogle the title's scantily-clad cast, which was also just announced at Tokyo Game Show. Decided by a popular vote, Marie Rose, Honoka, Kasumi, Ayane, Kokoro, Nyotengu, Hitomi, Momiji, and Helena will all appear in the upcoming game.

What stands out to you at Tokyo Game Show 2015? Nioh, yeah?

It's got that Onimusha / Souls thing going for it, which is a damn good thing to have.

More details have come out for the Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja action-RPG, as reported by 4Gamer and picked up by Gematsu. Like its contemporaries, Nioh will have an online component. You'll come across "bloody sword mounds" of fallen players that show their name, level, and untimely death. From that point, you can battle their "corpse deviation" to earn items.

Sounds good. Looks good. Now I just want to know how it feels.

While Koei has been kicking around ideas for a game called Nioh since before the PlayStation 3 days -- take a look at this trailer from 2005! -- the project is only now coming to fruition. During Tokyo Game Show this week, it was re-revealed as a PS4 exclusive set to arrive next year.

Nioh is a Team Ninja-developed action-RPG about samurai and oni that's clearly inspired by what From Software has been up to these past several years. The new trailer is quite the reintroduction.

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, which may come west and will feature women in bikinis playing volleyball on the beach, is filling out its swimsuit roster by way of fan vote. And, perhaps surprisingly, fans of the series known for its jiggle physics are pulling for (or to) a more modest bust.

Marie Rose, who is apparently 18, but looks younger, is leading the fan vote and almost a lock to make it in the game according to these mid-point voting figures. The official roster will be confirmed at Tokyo Game Show, but as it stands, the following characters are in:

Just in case you were concerned that Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 would not feature Japanese women in bikinis playing volleyball on the beach, I am here to reassure you that Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 will in fact feature Japanese women in bikinis playing volleyball on the beach, as evidenced by these first screenshots, courtesy of 4Gamer.

But wait: you have concerns over which bikini-clad women will make it in, reality show style. It's true, of 15 possible vacation goers, only 9 get the PTO. To vote, you have to download the glamour shots of your favorites. Nine top downloaded characters make it in the game, which is coming to PlayStation 4 (subtitled Fortune) and PlayStation Vita (subtitled Venus).

It may come west, too.

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is in development for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, the latest issue of Famitsu reveals, while also giving fans in the West some hope of seeing a localized release.

Though Koei Tecmo currently only has plans to distribute the upcoming project in Asian markets, producer Yosuke Hayashi now says a western version may be in the cards if demand is there.

For those unfamiliar with the Xtreme series, it's a little different than traditional Dead or Alive games. The spin-offs follow a number of familiar faces from the franchise as they take a break from the fighting to hit the beach, where they play volleyball and participate in various other activities -- most of which are thinly-veiled excuses to ogle the scantily clad characters' giant bouncing breasts.

Koei Tecmo hasn't yet announced a launch window for the sexy sports sim mini-game festa.

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is in development, Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi announced today at the Dead or Alive festival.

The Dead or Alive Xtreme series is best known as the volleyball game all about unlocking the skimpy outfits for polygonal babes and then ogling them as their boobs bounce unrealistically while they jump around in the sand, because you're a very sad and lonely person.

But don't pitch a tent in anticipation just yet unless you live in Asia, as the game is getting released there exclusively, according to Dead or Alive's official Facebook page. Perhaps we are getting a surprise male only version outside of Asian, allowing us to stare at Zack's thick, long, and curved antenna on his shiny costumes while he fondles some balls. Yay!

Now excuse me while I go back to played my modded version of Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 with some tasteful and artistic skins I found on a forum.

Team Ninja was supposed to enable online multiplayer for the PC port of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round by the end of June, months after the game debuted on Steam. Hasn't happened.

"[D]ue to major issues found during the beta test, we will be postponing the release of the update," said the studio. Participants can stick with the beta, if they want, or revert back to the offline game.

"We apologize for the last minute notification and regret deeply the trouble we have caused our Steam customers who were looking forward to the online functionality," said Team Ninja. "We will update the website with a new release date as soon as it is set."

I'd also like to point out that there's $294.95 worth of DLC for sale. No, really.

The currently Japan-only, arcade-only (a PS4 release down the line is likely) Final Fantasy fighter (spun off from the PSP series) has some new footage fresh from arcade cabinet location testing.

The 3-on-3 fighter looks deep. Right now the breakdown of the six confirmed characters is Heavy (Cloud, Warrior of Light), Speed (Lightning, Onion Knight), and Ranged (Terra, Y'shtola).

Not as on the nose as the Senran Kagura cross over and a bit more creative than the many "as few clothes as possible" packs, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round (the fourth, final iteration of Dead or Alive 5) debuted its super hero costume pack yesterday.

Remember, there's a convenient $93 season pass for all the costume packs in this the fourth release of the same game. Hopefully the PC bugs and missing features have been addressed.

[Update: Here's new trailer for the game, as spotted by community member FlanxLycanth.]

Dragon Quest Heroes isn't the only project Square Enix and Koei Tecmo are collaborating on, as the companies just announced Team Ninja is co-developing the latest Dissidia Final Fantasy.

The announcement was made earlier today at a special event in Tokyo, Japan.

Dissidia Final Fantasy will feature at least 50 playable characters, including the likes of Ramza (Final Fantasy Tactics) and Y'shtola (Final Fantasy XIV), so expect to see plenty of familiar faces.

The three-on-three arcade fighting game is powered by custom hardware developed using PS4 innards, indicating it will probably come to consoles sometime following its arcade release this fall.

Sony Computer Entertainment boss Atsushi Morita spoke at the event, saying the companies are discussing a console version. However, Square Enix producer Ichiro Hazama asserted the fighter will be arcade-exclusive for at least a year before any ports are released.

At least that should give the development team plenty of time to work out any bugs.

Forget the Dead or Alive 5 Last Round nude mods. This is where it's at.

A modder named Esppiral used their retexturing skills to turn DoA's Jacky Bryant into Shenmue star Ryo Hazuki, and Akira Yuki into Longsun Zhao. Even the Dojo stage looks all Shenmue-y.

Imperfect as Last Round's PC version is right now, I'd suggest waiting for Team Ninja to issue fixes and add such features as, uh, online multiplayer before buying. Ryo can wait. He's good at that.

Senran Kagura and Dead or Alive have started a new life together with costumes that, well... they explode. What else did you expect? This relationship between the two properties -- which is purely platonic -- has spawned 16 DLC outfits for Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, available today in Japan.

You can see the costumes intact in the gallery below, or in various states of disrepair in this video.

Choose carefully.

Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is the fourth, final iteration of Dead or Alive 5, but that doesn't mean it can't have bugs or a $93 season pass for all the fighters' additional costumes. I guess Last Round doesn't mean "complete" or "here's all the costumes for buying this for a fourth time."

Out now is the second of three Ninja Clan packs ($14.50, or $2 each).

A sixteen costume Senran Kagura crossover pack is also slated for this month and the final three costume sets will be released on a monthly basis.

Koei Tecmo has been riding Dead or Alive 5 since 2012. If you count the PlayStation Vita-enhanced Dead or Alive 5 Plus, the recent Dead or Alive 5 Last Round release marks the fourth iteration. It has a couple new characters and stages, a higher resolution on current generation consoles, and plenty of skimpy costumes.

It also has some bugs, particularly on Xbox One, which sees a lot of crashes while looking for a game online and arcade stick functionality issues. The PlayStation versions have more specific issues. On PS3, you can't tag team Hayate and Phase 4, while on PS4, pausing a replay when it shows a Power Blow can crash the game.

The team has a list of known issues here and ways to try and circumvent some of them.

When I say "Dead or Alive PC mods," you think ___?

You don't need to answer that. The series debuts on Steam this March and if mods created for past console versions are any indication, things are about to get wild. But hopefully not too wild.

"We have to deal with mod issues from an IP holder perspective," Dead or Alive 5: Last Round director Yohei Shimbori told MCV. "We would like to ask PC users to play our game in good moral and manner. Otherwise, we won't be able to release a title for PC again."

Wishful thinking if I've ever seen it.

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round won't hit its original February 17, 2015 release on PC, as Koei Tecmo has pushed the game to March 30 "[i]n order to provide you with the best possible experience..."

To that end, the company is giving away the Halloween 2013 costume set to everyone who buys Last Round on Steam. That's 28 outfits, many of them predictably scandalous.

Frankly, I've got a feeling the port won't be without its issues, delay or no delay, but let's shelve that thought until launch. At the very least, the PC version of Last Round will not support online multiplayer right away -- that's supposed to arrive "within three months of release."

But then again, mods. They're going to escalate quickly.

It's great to see a series like Dead or Alive finally come to PC. Less great, however, is that "Online modes for Dead or Alive 5 Last Round will be added in a patch within three months of release."

I suppose it comes down to which we would prefer: getting the feature-incomplete game on February 17 alongside the console versions, or having the PC port arrive later with online enabled from day one. Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja thought the former option was the way to go, clearly.

On Steam, they're doing that "pre-purchase rewards" thing in which the more people pay for Dead or Alive 5 up front, the more rewards (in this case, costumes) pre-purchasers get. Those swimsuits aren't going to unlock themselves, and I don't want to miss a thing.

Language is supposed to illuminate meaning, but it doesn't always work that way. As usage evolves, definitions change, and different people start using the same word to mean entirely different things. Rather than asking, "What is a brand?" a better question might be, "Who is a brand?" Every brand has a persona. Think of your brand as a person. What is that person like? What can you expect when you interact with that person? Creating a successful brand involves associating personality traits and values into a product or service. Branding is an essential part of a business long-term marketing plan. Short-term marketing campaigns may unearth and activate buyers but brand is what ultimately determines if these buyers will become life long customers. A proper brand requires an emotional element to reach these long term customers. It requires a connection beyond the functionality of a product or service, a connection of personalities, a connection with you and your customers. MHcreatives strives to create a brand that combines who YOU are with what YOU do.

"That's natural, ... After you hit a ground ball in that situation the least I can do is hustle. Fortunately, I beat it out."
"Berkeley played well. We didn't hit our shots when we needed to, and Berkeley hustled. They deserved to win."
"You could say it was fatigue. We got out hustled the last three games, out rebounded and I guess its energy. We didn't compete as a team. I hope this loss is a wake up call. I hope we do something during this little break to take care of our bodies because I know I am. I'm dead tired. The last three losses have been frustrating. Any loss is frustrating."
