Elevated Liver Levels
Hi All.
I have just received my 6 year old (in-tact) male labrador's blood results and his liver related levels are elevated: ALT 231; Amylase 944; RBC 8.5; Hemoglobin 206 and Hematocrit 0.58.
What advice can you give on the best course of action please? I would first like to try a new food (diet) as he did go on to a new food several moths ago and gained 7llbs as it's high in protein, etc, and also accompany it with SAMe. Then, following a few weeks (how many I am unsure) get another test done to see if the levels have dropped. This just seems worth a try to me before jumping right in with biopsies, etc. But, I could be wrong. Please help with advice.
He is showing no signs of jaundice, loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, etc.
Thank you!
PS. Also, what is the best type of food I should buy that will give him the best nutrients and help his liver? And the best SAMe too?
Welcome ManitaD .
Sorry to inform you but, we can't answer any questions unless you fulfill your obligation as stated in the unwritten rules ...would you kindly share a pic of your pooch ?
Along with the results, did your vet give you reference ranges (sometimes laboratories have differing ranges)?
We also recently discovered that our girl, Penny, has liver issues. Nothing alarming yet but we have started her on a home-cooked liver support diet and supplements, SAMe (we use Natural Factors brand) and milk thistle. We're supposed to re-test in several weeks to see if there have been any changes. Here's a site that will provide you with some interesting information and additional useful links: http://www.monicasegal.com/health/liver.php .
"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance." -Will Durant
I have Scotties, a breed known to have wonky liver enzyme levels. There is a very good liver support supplement called Denamarin that I used in one of my dogs who was suffering from hepatitis. It contains both milk thistle and SAM-e. My dog had two levels in the 1,800 to 2,000 range. Six weeks on the supplement dropped the levels to 1,000 and 1,200. She was very ill from other health problems so I don't have long-term results, sadly.
I have also used Denosyl with success as well. My first Scottie had an Alkaline Phosphatase level in the 700-900 range most of his life. My vet would have him take the supplement and then retest in 6 weeks and again at 6 months, just to monitor.
Links to the products mentioned:
If you are not seeing any signs of liver problems and the dog has a good appetite, I don't think you would be wrong to try supplements and diet change and retest in 6 weeks. Both my family vet and my critically ill dog's internal medicine vet used the 6 week guideline to see if the supplements were working. Good luck. And please keep us updated on his condition.
Was it a routine blood test on a dog who appears perfectly healthy, or were you investigating some concern about him?

With Pride
With Pride
Heiko Yang/MGoBlog
"I will wear it with pride."
To a man, the seniors of Team 133 thanked the University of Michigan Club of Greater Detroit for the rings presented to them at last night's annual football bust. They may have been told to do so; the sincerity rang true, regardless.
To earn those rings, the seniors endured far more tumult than the average Wolverine class. A handful committed to Lloyd Carr's class of 2008, witnessing a coaching change before they ever set foot on campus. Every one made the jarring transition from Rich Rodriguez to Brady Hoke, who had the privilege of introducing each senior, charmingly butchering the more complicated majors—the sciences presented a particularly tricky articulative obstacle—and presenting their rings with the requisite bear hug.
Then came the stories, the laughter, and in one case, tears.
Ricky Barnum, heading to the School of Social Work next year after graduating with a degree in Afro-American and African Studies, implored the audience to "hit me up" if they ever need a grant or proposal written.
Will Campbell thanked the strength coaches for turning him "from a 346-pound slob to a 308-pound stud, as you can see."
Brady Hoke, before introducing fullback Paul Gyarmati, noted that Gyarmati's father played bass with Carlos Santana for several years. Gyarmati, off the cuff, thanked his father for "stealing my thunder."
While introducing Jack Kennedy, graduating with degrees in Mathematics and Physics, Hoke quipped, "it was tough, but I got him through."
Elliott Mealer, lumberjack beard intact, started his speech by saying, "I cleaned up for you tonight." He finished with a quote from his late father: "If you don't have good dreams, you have nightmares."
Patrick Omameh, Dr. Arthur D. Robinson Award winner for his academic accomplishments, sweat profusely during his improvised speech. "It's my trademark," he said, with no hint of shame.
Craig Roh thanked Jesus Christ for getting him through two-a-days and fall camp.
Roy Roundtree lit up while reliving his recruitment, recalling high school teammates Michael Shaw and Brandon Moore telling the then-Purdue commit that he might get a Michigan offer—"Man, I get that offer, I'm coming to Michigan," he said, noting how good he looked in a winged helmet.
Roundtree later broke down in tears while thanking Director of Academic Counseling Greg Harden, whom he credited for getting him through Michigan; his genuine thankfulness, even awe, at the prospect of going to grad school was heartwarming.
Floyd Simmons revealed that during games he liked to sit to J.T. Floyd's right on the bench, spelling out "Floyd" "Simmons" with their jersey nameplates, "but no one ever gets a picture of it."
Vincent Smith joked about chasing rabbits in Pahokee, and thanked the coaches for teaching him how to cut-block defensive ends—quite well, one might add.
Hoke called out Steve Wilson for getting into Michigan State's medical school. After mock boos from the crowd, Wilson noted that, yes, he got into State, but the only medical school he really wants to attend is Michigan.
Going last, of course, was Denard Robinson, who thanked virtually everyone associated with the program, including the academic staff that corralled the self-proclaimed "free spirit" and helped him become the first member of his family to graduate from a four-year college. He also apologized to Al Borges—and his wife—for sending him home with so many headaches before closing, aptly, with "this is Michigan, fergodsakes."
The MVP of the bust, however, was also voted Bo Schembechler MVP by the team. Jordan Kovacs, a late arrival after attending the Burlsworth Award ceremony for nation's top former walk-on, brought down the house with his opener:
"I'd first like to thank coach Rich Rodriguez for allowing a slow, unathletic and undersized kid to play at the University of Michigan. That was really nice of him to let Drew Dileo play football here."
Kovacs, who also won the Bob Ufer Spirit Award, finished by saying he was proud to call himself many things, walk-on included, but most of all to be a Michigan Man.
On this night, as the seniors had their football graduation of sorts—a few with more football ahead, many more on their way to becoming doctors, lawyers, social workers, or teachers—it was a fitting close from the captain. All have earned the right to wear their rings with pride.

Tropical Storm Chantal, 5 a.m. Wednesday advisory.
OUTLOOK: All of Florida remains in the cone, but Chantal weakened overnight.
According to the National Hurricane Center, Chantal may no longer have a closed circulation. Wind shear overnight has weakened the storm system.
Chantal is still projected to be about 200 miles east of Miami on Friday, but whether it will surivie as a tropical storm is unknown. But with Chantal's track moving slightly westward, Florida's entire peninsula is in the cone of error.
WHAT FLORIDA CAN EXPECT: Under the latest forecast, the system would parallel the state's coastline close enough to produce gusty winds and rough surf from Miami to Jacksonville.
For now, the National Weather Service calls for both South and Central Florida to see a 40 percent chance of showers and storms on Friday and over the weekend.
PARTICULARS: Now in the Caribbean, Chantal is expected to hit Hispaniola Wednesday at near hurricane strength and arrive in the central Bahamas on Thursday. It then is projected to aims toward South Carolina with a possible landfall on Sunday.
Chantal could produce up to 6 inches of rain and a storm surge of 4 feet above normal tide levels along its path. Its tropical-storm-force winds now extend 90 miles from its center, mainly to the west.
LOCATION: About 260 miles west of San Juan, Puerto Rico or about 960 miles southeast of Miami.
STRENGTH: Maximum sustained winds of 45 mph
MOVEMENT: northwest at 29 mph

OTTAWA — Until recently, I had the same sort of backyard I had growing up in Nepean in the 1970s. Nondescript trees? Check. Lumpy grass? Check. Veggie patch? Check. Crappy chain-link fence overlooking neighbour's dirt patch? Check.
While my kids were little, it was fine. They made mud pies, chased the dog and ran through the sprinkler screaming like banshees.
But as they got older, the backyard got quieter. Peaceful, even. Mostly because no one — not even me — wanted to be there. I couldn't even hang out laundry without the neighbour's four Afghan hounds barking at me through orange hazard mesh on their side of the fence.
Something had to be done. So I decided to reclaim the space and transform it into an outdoor living room and a grown-up oasis — or at least some place I could relax, share a bottle of wine with friends and beckon my hubby, Joe, to feed me peeled grapes.
Easier said than done. In my head, I would get one of my best mates, Tony Hagen of Pagen Enterprises, to pull down the half-dead cedars, clear out the bushes and throw up a seven-foot privacy fence, for starters. Then Joe and I would do the interlock, lay the sod and toss a few perennials in some type of garden bed. The whole project would be done in, what? Two weekends, max.
It's not often that crazy people realize they're crazy. It's kind of like wondering if you're stupid. And yet, there's a point in most DIY renovations when you have the sinking feeling that you might be off your rocker. Or at least that life is not at all like HGTV.
Getting startedSeptember 2010
In a misguided spurt of energy, I convince Tony to take out the 20 decaying cedars we need to remove for a fence. He brings over a wood chipper and grinds me up five barrels of fresh chips for the garden. Unfortunately, the hole left by the vacated trees offers an unparalleled view of my neighbour's backyard, the four dogs and the orange hazard mesh. The space doesn't just look neglected; it looks like someone kicked in its teeth.
Weeks go by and Tony's ever-busy schedule gets fuller. Eventually, snow starts to fall. Tony drops in for a beer and stares at the super-crappiness of my backyard, sans trees. "First thing in the spring," he says with a sheepish grin. "I promise."
April 2011
Chatting with my neighbour, he points out the ugly hole in the backyard, which hasn't improved with spring's rain and mud. "Where's my fence you promised?" he demands. His fence? Hope flares briefly that he'll pitch in financially on the project, since the fence will run down two sides of his yard and there is some moral argument for him to contribute. He stomps away. Guess not.
April 13
Tony comes by to plan. He's an amazingly fast and accurate builder — a barrel-chested man with baseball mitt-sized hands, a quick wit and piercing blue eyes. He quickly jots down the materials I need, muttering to himself and counting on his huge fingers. Then, he takes the list to Home Depot himself — I guess he doesn't trust me to do the job. The man lets me feed him, but he won't let me drive his truck or order supplies. Apparently, my role is to pay bills and call the hydro company before we dig.
The materials arrive three days later. That weekend, Tony brings in a backhoe to tear up the backyard. He's in his element, creating chaos to turn into order. The yard, which was sloped and featured a disused composting box, messy shrubs and a dirt pile, is completely levelled. It's also completely muddy. The dog sniffs every square inch and squats frequently. For the next two weeks until Tony comes back, muddy paw prints are a feature in our Victorian-era house.
April 23
Wet weather clears and Tony returns with his "boys." The "boys" are really young men, most of them related to Tony in the way large French-Canadian families do business. The work starts slowly — tree roots and a buried concrete pad from the old outhouse mean Tony has to disrupt the regular spacing of fence posts to work around the obstacles. The boys set up a massive jig in the driveway, on which they build each fence panel before installing it.
April 28 to 30
Within three days, the fence is up. On the side facing the neighbour's driveway, Tony has made two panels removable, if we ever need access to build our long-planned addition.
He has also brought the fence well inside the property line, to eliminate potential neighbour disputes. Already, the yard looks better, even though it's still pretty much a mud pit.
May 7, 2011
Now we're getting somewhere. Tony brings in a bobcat, a load of gravel and landscape tarp to put underneath. Along with the fence, we're building a small open shed along the garage for storage. While he's at it, he also digs down 18 inches where I want a patio and fills it up with gravel. Did I mention what a great mate he is?
May 14 to 19
Over a few days, Tony and the boys build the shed, roof it, and put a barn door on the front. It doesn't look anything like the rough sketch he drew me on a piece of lumber — it looks bloody amazing. He also gets two of his younger guys — the lawn elves, I call them — to lay the sod I ordered from Petersen's Turf Farm. It's like insta-lawn. Mud pit, be gone!
May 19
Another mate, Chris O'Dell from DC Interlock, comes by for a beer and to give me a quote. Since we've already prepped the area, we get a great deal. He's young, easy on the eyes and an absolute perfectionist when it comes to work.
Over the next few days, Chris and his buddy Josh work through the rain. To get perfect-fitting bricks, Chris runs a blade along the edge of the patio area. It's back-breaking work, but by the time he's done, he has completely transformed the backyard.
June 10
My girlfriend Londea Watson of Carp Country Gardens plants the horseshoe-shaped garden bed with shade-loving things, like hostas, burning bush, astilbe, ferns, hydrangeas and some annuals to fill in colour. My dog steals her lunch — Daisy is a house hog — so we end up making her a sandwich, too.
Joe and I spot a sale on a four-piece conversation set — two armchairs, a couch and a table — from Walmart. I also buy a few pieces of "fence art" and wrought-iron lamps from HomeSense.
July 8
Tony pops in — he's here so often to admire his work, he's like a garden gnome. He looks around the backyard, standing in the same spot he had back in September. We don't say anything for a while. The backyard is quiet. Peaceful, even. And very, very grown up.
Lessons learned
1. Make a budget. Work out your budget beforehand and commit 100 per cent to the project and pushing it through on time. Wondering if you'll have enough money to finish the job should happen before you start, not after the backhoe rips the guts out of your yard and leaves you with a mud pit.
2. Trust the experts. Support your contractors but don't get in their way. Make it a point to discuss whatever issues you may have early, but don't hover and 'make suggestions.' You hired them because they're the experts and you're not. Plus, you don't want to annoy anyone driving a bobcat around your lawn.
3. Call before you dig. Even if it is just your backyard, there may be buried TV cables and hydro lines. It's also the law. Go to on1call.com or call 1-800-400-2255.
4. Talk to your neighbours. They don't have legal obligation to help pay for the fence — it doesn't hurt to ask — but they still share it as common property since it's on a boundary. Any existing fence that has to be altered or removed needs their consent before you start. If the fence is on your side of the property line, you don't need consent, but it's still a good idea to talk to them about the pending construction.
Estimating your costs
Interlock — $18 to $25 a square foot laid, depending on materials used.
Fencing — Pre-fabricated wood fence panels are available and range in price from $88 to $160 for a six- or eight-foot panel, depending on materials used.
Sod — 22 cents a square foot if you pick up your own sod; 26 cents a square foot to have it delivered.

Before they were "The Afters," lead singer Josh Havens worked tirelessly to come up with that perfect, elusive, original band name. And he thought he had it:
"The Screaming Mimes."
Surely, no other band had laid a claim to that name. Right?
"The whole idea of living your faith out loud," Havens said, explaining the "Screaming Mimes" idea.
But there would be no need for white gloves, face makeup and a trapped-inside-a-box routine. The name "Screaming Mimes" was already taken.
So what about "Blisse?" Spelled with an "e." Now, this had to be a keeper.
"We thought spelling it with an 'e' was protecting us," Havens said. "But apparently, even if it sounds like another band (you can't use that name)."
So back to the "lists and lists and lists" of names they had brainstormed, filled with "all sorts of crazy stuff," Havens recalled. "When you're looking for a name, every term or word is taken. It could be 'Delicious Mudpies' and I'm sure there's a band out there called 'Delicious Mudpies.' "
Well, according to Wikipedia, no.
But ultimately, the band kept coming back to "The Afters," a term used in the UK to describe an "After Party," for all the people who weren't invited to the formal banquet or lavish wedding.
"We love what it represented. Everyone's invited," said Havens, whose band The Afters will be playing at Rock the Lakes on Aug. 20 in Milwaukee and Rock the Range on Aug. 27-28 in Denver. "It's non-exclusive. We love the idea that everyone's invited to the table. That's how God is to us."
'Music For Everyone'
And it's that "music for everyone," appeal that has sent Havens and The Afters rocketing up both the Christian Billboard.com and iTunes Christian and Gospel charts.
Their single, "Light Up the Sky," hit the top spot on both measuring sticks in September and their album by the same name has been praised as "unrelentingly uplifting," by Christianity Today and "worth listening to over and over again," by CCM Magazine.
"Light up the Sky is a song about seeing all the signs God gives us to show us He's here," said Havens, whose band has "been through quite a bit … seems like one challenge after the other."
Most devastating was losing their long-time manager, close friend and mentor to a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. The band's drummer also had his best friend pass away suddenly.
"A lot of our friends are dealing with losing their jobs, losing their homes," Havens said. "Through all of it, we were looking for 'Where's God in all these things?' And just seeing how faithful God really is. Always looking and seeing those signs God gives us."
The Afters' latest hit single "Lift Me Up" is also making a strong impact, climbing to its highest spot (16th) on this week's Billboard.com Christian chart. And recently the band returned from a European tour, playing shows in places like Belgium, Holland, Norway, Copenhagen and Denmark.
"The church is in a very different place over there," said Havens, who is half Dutch. "We have a great fan base in Europe. We've been blessed to have kind of cool thing going on."
'More Than Just Making a Splash'
The Afters are no strangers to working with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. The band was involved with the 2009 Rock the River Tour and the FM419 Youth Training Event at Rock the 2010 River-West in Fraser Valley. Havens also traveled to Haiti to help with the relief efforts and contributed to the Healing4Haiti benefit CD project.
So when they were asked to be involved with two festivals on back-to-back weekends in August, there was no hesitation.
"When they called and asked if we would do it, we didn't have to think about it," Havens said. "We were really excited to be apart of these events, because we've seen how they work and the impact they have."
The Afters will be part of the Saturday night lineup in Milwaukee and playing both Saturday night and Sunday evening in Denver. Sunday's event is geared more toward families as Michael W. Smith will also be playing.
"We'll probably make a couple tweaks (for Sunday), but we have a pretty family-friendly set as it is," Havens said. "There's a lot of fun parts and also some worshipful parts."
The band is immersed in a U.S. tour and according to their website, will be playing 54 other concerts all across the country between now and Dec. 4.
"We turned down shows for August because of (the BGEA 'Rock' events), but for me it's totally worth it," Havens said. "We've always had a great experience working with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. We've made some friends that turned out to be really great, close friends.
"And I just love the way you set up the events, the way you think long term. The way you try to get people connected to the local churches. It seems like so much more than just making a splash in a day."

Hi Richard, I think the next sections will probably take us a few months to fill, and even then we may still feel it is too incomplete to publish. We need to draw a line somewhere and say it is good enough for what it is. What we currently have is a base structure for the document that seems to find agreement with the group. To take your analogy, we may not yet have the full box but a pretty decent idea of how it could look like, and that is a point in development that we should ask for feedback on. My suggestion would be to adapt the Abstract and Status of the Document sections to better reflect the current state of the document and what we are looking for from any interested reviewers (see comments #79 and #80). This will help people decide if they want to spend time reviewing this early draft or rather wait for a more complete one to review. On a more clerical note: we are actually required by the W3C Process to publish drafts every three months (so called "heart-beat requirement"). This requirement is there for a reason, it is usually good for groups to publish early and frequently to show the world where they are. All in all there are several reasons for publishing but few against it provided that the current state of the document is made very clear to the readers.

An international group of experts on cognitive science has asserted that animals, including many that are much different from humans, experience the same degree of consciousness as humans. Per the article:
An international group of prominent scientists has signed The Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness in which they are proclaiming their support for the idea that animals are conscious and aware to the degree that humans are ....What's also very interesting about the declaration is the group's acknowledgement that consciousness can emerge in those animals that are very much unlike humans.... "Consequently, say the signatories, the scientific evidence is increasingly indicating that humans are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness....The declaration was signed in the presence of Stephen Hawking ....

Monday, November 2d, 1862
My dearest Netta,
Thank you
for your welcome letter.
I am thankful that your
noble boy is better. Do be
careful what you put into
his little stomach at this
critical time of teething.
The ostrich digestion peculiar
to boys, which he will doubtless
possess in time, is not bestowed
so early. I cannot fancy him
cross. It must be the evil
spirit which Blossom has

I dined with Aunt Patty

It is incomprehensible why

It was true which rich

with a true appreciation of

- Image 2 of 2
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Azia Bishop scored 17 points to help No. 5 Kentucky beat LSU 73-60 on Sunday.
Bishop, a sophomore who was averaging 3.2 points and 2.9 rebounds before Sunday's game, made seven of her 10 shots in 20 minutes. She stepped up at several key passages in which LSU threatened the Wildcats' lead. She also had five rebounds.
The Lady Tigers traded the lead with Kentucky (19-2, 7-1 SEC) several times throughout the first half but could never gain a lead of more than one possession. With 26 seconds left in the first half and the game tied at 26, Bishop hit a 3-pointer. Her layup gave the Wildcats a 31-26 halftime lead.
The Lady Tigers closed Kentucky's lead to 49-45 with 8:40 to play, and Bishop scored her first basket of the second half on the next possession.
Adrienne Webb had 18 points for the Lady Tigers (12-8, 3-4).

When it comes to influencing women and enticing them to purchase something, blogs still rule. So says a survey by BlogHer, a network of more than 3,000 blogs, most of them written and read by women.
The results were released ahead of BlogHer Entrepreneurs, a conference that begins Thursday in Santa Clara.
Nearly all of the BlogHer's audience in the survey and 81 percent of the general population said they trusted blogs for information and advice. In comparison, 86 percent of the BlogHer audience and 67 percent of the general population said they trusted Facebook. Meanwhile, 85 percent of the BlogHer population and 73 percent of the general population trusted Twitter and 85 percent of the BlogHer population and 81 percent of the general population trusted Pinterest.
A much larger percentage — 87 percent — of the BlogHer audience also said they purchased something because of a recommendation from a blog. Facebook trailed at 54 percent. Blogs, the group concluded, are the preferred source for information while women turn to Facebook for friendship and play.
Marketers, of course, are aggressively tapping social media to reach out to women, who drive many of the purchases online (including consumer electronics). One way they've done so is to give away products and services to bloggers, who test them and write about them, with a disclaimer on their site. That was a key strategy, for example, for Zhu Zhu Pets, the runaway holiday toy a few years ago.

|January 1996
As the appropriations process wore on through the spring and summer, it became clear that the USGS would not be abolished but could expect a slight decrease from the previous year's appropriations budget for its core responsibilities. The USBM did not fare so well, and neither did the National Biological Service (NBS), another "Contract" target in the Department of the Interior (DOI). Despite Senate efforts to retain them, both agencies were eliminated and their functions transferred to other agencies, most notably the USGS, which received the mineral information branch of USBM and the bulk of NBS. Thus, the USGS not only survived but received a large budget increase to fund the newly acquired functions. The USGS benefited from Administration support, its own education effort, and the efforts of AGI, the professional societies, and countless individuals who expressed their support for the Survey to Congress.
Just when a collective sigh of relief appeared to be in order, however, a new threat appeared in a separate and lesser known track of the budget process known as budget reconciliation. In August, committees in both the House and Senate considered measures that would hand over most of the Survey's primary functions to the private sector. The trade group for photogrammetry and surveying had been pushing similar legislation for years in an effort to increase contracting of mapping and surveying activities but previously had been unsuccessful. Their effort received a major boost from the new majority because it fit well with their philosophy of limiting government only to those functions that could not be performed by the private sector.
The budget reconciliation process, like the appropriations process, carries out instructions set down in the joint budget resolution, passed in April. While the appropriators toil away at discretionary spending for the coming fiscal year, the authorizing committees (committees other than Appropriations and Budget that have jurisdiction over the bulk of legislation) must deliver legislation that will save enough money to reach the longer-term targets in the budget resolution, in this case a balanced budget in seven years.
The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, chaired by Senator Frank Murkowski (R-Alaska), was required to pass legislation that would save $4 billion over seven years. The budget resolution included suggestions for meeting this target: privatizing the U.S. (uranium) Enrichment Corporation and the federal helium program within USBM, selling some of the Department of Energy's regional power marketing administrations (which distribute power from federal hydroelectric projects), increasing National Park Service entrance and concessions fees, and opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) on Alaska's North Slope to lease sales for oil drilling.
To this list, Murkowski added a number of additional provisions including one that read simply: "By not later than October 1, 1996, the Secretary of the Interior shall contract with private firms for the provision of all surveying and mapping activities of the Department of the Interior." Lacking any specific definition of surveying and mapping activities, this provision could be applied to virtually all of the functions of the USGS as well as several other Interior agencies. In addition, the provision would undermine efforts underway to reauthorize the National Geologic Mapping Act. Although broad in its implications, the provision was the result of specific grievances, particularly in Alaska, that private firms were being forced to compete with Interior agencies for aerial surveying and other contracts. Private firms were also eager to obtain a greater share of USGS map production, 25% of which is already contracted out.
The House Resources Committee, chaired by Representative Don Young (R-Alaska), considered a similar but more detailed surveying and mapping provision. The House language called for the creation of a panel to inventory all mapping and surveying activities done by Interior with the purpose being to move as many as possible out to private-sector contractors. In addition to Interior officials, the panel would include representatives from the Small Business Administration and the industry trade association that was promoting this bill!
Administration reaction to both the House and Senate versions was very strong. In a letter to Murkowski, Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt characterized the Senate provision as "extreme and impractical" with "far-reaching adverse effects" on Interior. He argued that it would turn over "the entire body of work of the U.S. Geological Survey" to the private sector. USGS Director Gordon Eaton released a statement calling the provisions an "eleventh-hour summary execution of the USGS without benefit of debate and discussion in public hearings." Despite this opposition, the House included the mapping provision in its final version of the reconciliation bill.
Opposition to the provision was more successful in the Senate, because it ran afoul of a procedural rule requiring that all reconciliation bill provisions must have saving money as their primary purpose. Without demonstrable savings, as determined (or "scored") by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the provision can be eliminated. A three-fifths majority is required to waive this requirement, known as the Byrd Rule after Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV), the master of parliamentary procedure who crafted it. The reconciliation bill can only be debated for a fixed amount of time, and the Byrd Rule is intended to keep it clean of extraneous provisions that could otherwise be passed without the threat of a filibuster.
When the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources met to vote on their parrt of the reconciliation bill, CBO was running behind and had not yet provided a score for the mapping provision. Without a CBO score and facing strong opposition from ranking minority member Senator J. Bennett Johnston (D-Louisiana), the Energy Committee dropped the mapping provision from the final package that it passed.
In October, the House and Senate held a conference to resolve the differences between their versions of the reconciliation legislation, now renamed the Seven-Year Balanced Budget Reconciliation Act of 1995. By this time, CBO had determined that the House mapping provision contained no anticipated savings and thus was vulnerable to the Byrd rule. Faced with continued opposition in the Senate, the House agreed to drop the provision after reaching a compromise that language be inserted in the report accompanying the bill, stating Congress's intent to act on this issue in the near future. Although report language is non-binding and intended to be explanatory, the Appropriations Committee routinely uses it as a means to control where and how money is spent -- woe be to the agency that crosses these instructions when they come before Congress asking for next year's funding!
Both Murkowski and particularly Young retain their strong interest in this issue and plan to introduce the surveying and mapping provision as a stand-alone bill. There is a very real danger that Congress will try to append a similar contracting provision to the National Geologic Mapping Act reauthorization bill, perhaps dealing a fatal blow to the bipartisan appeal of that legislation. This issue will remain an important one even as the USGS struggles to redefine itself in the face of added responsibilities given to it in the appropriations process.

"I found studying abroad such a critical, life-changing experience that it needs to be mandatory," writes UCLA Daily Bruin columnist Nam-Giao Do.
By Nam-Giao Do for The Daily Bruin
A LOT OF people thought I was crazy to go study for four months in Vietnam.
But having returned to the United States, I have to say that I found studying abroad such a critical, life-changing experience that it needs to be mandatory. The UC system should seriously consider this in our globalizing, tumultuous age. But more importantly, it is up to the students to take the initiative, no matter what their ages or majors.
"They're going to convert you to communism" and "don't eat dog" were common words of comfort before my departure. Who knew I would fall so deeply in love with the people I met, the rich, ancient and changing culture I experienced, and the country where my parents were born and raised. And who knew that when I came back, all I wanted to do was tell people that, despite their time and major-related conflicts and financial hardships, they should make time to study abroad.
Last fall, I studied under the University of California Education Abroad Program for a semester at Hanoi National University with 16 other UC students. With the program, I visited Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum and traveled all throughout the central and southern regions of Vietnam. I helped harvest a rice field, taught English to an elementary school, stayed overnight in ethnic minority villages, learning every day the vibrant history of Vietnam and the prolonged effects of development on the country.
My personal growth has been apparent. I have digested sea turtle, fried frog, snake blood wine and the gentle water buffalo. My karma suffered, but I have to say I didn't eat dog.
I drove a motorbike, zoomed through the streets of Da Lat and Hue and didn't die. I parasailed through the beautiful islands of Nha Trang, learned to love karaoke – it's a big thing in Vietnam – ate KFC because McDonald's is, incredibly, nonexistent, hiked to Heaven's Gate in the northern mountains of Sapa, and had my camera and phone stolen by a mob of desperate females.
And in Da Lat, as we toasted to Obama's victory, the entire restaurant of Australians, Canadians and Finns joined in robustly.
All these experiences directed me to study critically the rapidly changing society of Vietnam and its transformation from a communist to capital-driven economy. Studying last fall at this critical time made me realize and see the positive and negative effects of development on the people.
Most of all, I've made life-long friendships with Vietnamese locals and UC students alike. My faith in humanity is renewed and re-invigorated.
Especially in these times of apprehension and misunderstanding, studying abroad in both a developing and a developed country should be a requirement to graduate college. Of course, coming back to find the United States in an ever-deepening recession makes it difficult to pitch that costly (but priceless) experience. Nevertheless, studying in Vietnam convinced me as well as the 16 other UC students I lived, laughed and learned with last fall that it is so beneficial and even necessary to get away for a while, meet new people and gain new perspectives in life.
In order to study abroad with most programs, students must be a junior or higher with a reasonably good GPA (3.0). UC financial aid does apply to EAP. UC, EAP and the host countries do offer many scholarships. But everyone deserves this experience.
I still urge the school to consider wider studying abroad opportunities in addition to broadening financial aid and scholarships – and I urge the students to broaden their minds by taking the leap and plunging into different cultural experiences. It can only make UCLA and themselves more enriching. It can only further global understanding and open-mindedness.

Michael Vick, who returned to the NFL in 2009 after a two-year prison sentence for running a dogfighting ring, was the second-biggest winner (by percentage) in the first round of EA Sports' fan-voted playoff for the Madden NFL 12 cover.
To no one's surprise, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has demanded Vick's removal from the contest. EA Sports president Peter Moore (pictured) says nothing doing.
"I'm not here to comment on what he did," Moore told the World Congress of Sports conference yesterday. "I personally believe, and this is personal commentary right now, that Michael served his time. He's had a tremendous season."
Moore said EA Sports has received letters from PETA asking for Vick's removal. Moore justified Vick's candidacy on his standout 2010 season, in which the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback led his team to the playoffs, was named the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year and finished second in the league's MVP voting.
In the voting, Vick crushed his first-round opponent, the Dallas Cowboys' DeMarcus Ware, by 76 to 24 percent. Only Atlanta's Matt Ryan, with 89 percent, won a higher percentage of votes in the first round. Vick faces the Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson in the second round. The results of that matchup will be revealed on Monday.
Moore said he would have no problem giving the Madden NFL 12 cover to Vick. Vick has held the spot before, appearing on the cover of Madden NFL 2004, four years before his conviction.

it would be at Max's launch. I have a brand new RRD bar with 3 rides on it and I seem to have picked up someone elses that looks new but has some minor wear and tear. This will be impossible to prove but I thought I might post and see if anyone had a bar that looks "a little better" than they remember.
To clarify, the persons bar I picked up has a gouge made in the bar end from where the right steering line comes out. Chances are this person didnt even know that this was there. But now I am stuck with it!!!
With the popularity of the new RRD kites we should all make sure to label ours so this doesn;t become an ongoing problem.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has successfully completed the cleanup of a superfund site in Long Hill Township and Harding Township, Morris County, NJ. The site, at the edge of a National Wildlife Refuge, had formerly served as an asbestos dump. It has now been removed from the National Priorities List of hazardous waste sites.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has successfully completed the cleanup of a superfund site in Long Hill Township and Harding Township, Morris County, NJ. The site, at the edge of a National Wildlife Refuge, had formerly served as an asbestos dump. It has now been removed from the National Priorities List of hazardous waste sites.
The asbestos dump consisted of three distinct areas. The photo to the right (credit: bing.com) shows an aerial view of the largest area (green patch is capped area). The three areas are:
- The Millington Unit (11 acres)
- The New Vernon and White Bridge Road Unit (42 acres combined)
- The Dietzman Tract (7 acres)
For nearly fifty years, from 1927 to 1975, the site was utilized by several different manufacturing companies for the disposal of waste products containing asbestos. Years of asbestos dumping resulted in soil contamination which threatened to spread. The site is now owned by the State of New Jersey, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and private citizens. The principal responsible party, which helped to pay for the cleanup, is the National Gypsum Company.
The contamination was located in an environmentally sensitive area, the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. It is 7,700 acres of swamps, wooded and wetland areas, and is managed by the USFWS for wildlife habitat and observation. The Great Swamp is home to wide variety of wildflowers, plants, migrating and non-migrating birds. Animals that live there include deer, fox, frogs, snakes, turtles, fish, insects, and more. There are also several lookout points for birds of prey. It receives about 185,000 visitors per year and is a very popular area among cyclists because it is flat, there is very little traffic, and it contains beautiful scenery.
The site was put on the National Priorities List in 1983. Cleanup actions of the three areas included the following:
- Consolidating and solidifying contaminated materials in areas on-site
- Capping the areas of consolidation
- Installing systems to divert surface runoff and improved drainage
- Erosion control
- Environmental impact assessment of the nearby wetlands
- Placing restrictions on future uses for the sites
After monitoring and analyzing data, the EPA determined that the asbestos was successfully contained and does not pose a significant threat to public health or the environment. "The risk from the asbestos at this site has been addressed and now the site can come off the Superfund list," said EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck. "Our assessment found that the cleanup was successful, clearing the way for the deletion of this property from the list of the country's most hazardous waste sites."
New Jersey has the undeserved reputation of being an environmental nightmare, where toxic contamination is always a stone's throw away. However, if any of NJ's detractors were to visit Morris County, they would quickly change their tune. It is a beautiful county with large park lands, friendly residential areas, and charming downtowns. The Great Swamp, in particular, is a hidden ecological gem that should be protected and cherished.

FRISCO, Texas -- Ryan Hollingshead was ready to step away from a professional soccer career forever if that's what it took to help get his brother's church off the ground.
He's thrilled that's not going to be necessary.
On Monday afternoon, FC Dallas announced the signing of Hollingshead a little less than a year after selecting him in the second round of the 2013 MLS SuperDraft and Ryan joins FCD as perhaps one of the most unique signings in franchise history.
"It was really a rollercoaster over this last year trying to figure out if it's going to work out or not," Hollingshead told FCDallas.com. "When they came to me about a month ago, they were basically saying they wanted me out here and I said the same thing that I want to come and want to make this work."
After a breakout senior season at UCLA that saw Hollingshead score seven goals and eight assists en route to earning PAC-12 Player of the Year honors, the Granite Bay, Calif. native had a shot at going as high as the top five in the 2013 SuperDraft, but he had other plans. Hollingshead was nowhere to be found at the ensuing MLS Combine, or even the draft as he and his then-fiancée Taylor performed mission work in Haiti, but that was just the start of a bigger plan the Hollingsheads had in mind.
"The church is named Harvest Bible Chapel Sacramento. It's a church plant from out of Chicago from a guy named James McDonald," said Hollingshead. "He started the first Harvest Church in Chicago and from there they've planted about 90 churches nationally and internationally."

"We had been talking about it [for] years waiting for this because [my brother] had known for a while that he wanted to plant a church and then he finally got the ok that he would be coming back to Sacramento in February. It was very quickly after that that God called me to join him and basically just help him get everything started."
WATCH: Hollingshead goal & assist vs OSU
With the knowledge around the league that it was very unlikely the California-native would be playing in Major League Soccer in 2013, Hollingshead's draft stock dropped to the second round where FC Dallas was gladly willing to take the chance on the talented winger. FCD brought Ryan to the Toyota Stadium facilities in mid-February to observe a practice, and while the sales pitch made an impression on the UCLA graduate, it was clear his mind was made up.
Ryan and his now-wife Taylor headed back to northern California to join his brother as they looked to get Harvest Bible Church off the ground.
"The beginning of a church plant can be lonely," said Hollingshead. "There are a lot of things that need to be done and often times not a lot of people to help with those things. So my wife and I moved back and basically just got to the grind of meeting with people, getting the word out, holding meetings at different places in the area, letting people know about the new church, preaching the bible and we want you to be a part of it. We did that for about seven months and filled the church up to a spot where we could launch a real service."
LISTEN: Soccer Today talks World Cup Draw with Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki
While assisting his brother, Ryan also worked a full-time job with a residential real estate company to pay the bills. The load of a 40-hour work week, his duties with the church and remaining fit in hope of a career in soccer was quite the load, but one that Hollingshead said he "wouldn't change for the world."
"At our first service [on October 6], we had about 175 people after starting with four in February," Hollingshead said with a laugh. "I would say about the average right now is 150 people with about 25 kids. It's awesome and that's a big number for it to be self-sustaining, meaning the tithes brought in helps to pay for the entire ministry that's happening. That's huge because you don't have to raise any outside support and that was our main goal. Now we're there."
Enter FC Dallas.
WATCH: Hollingshead scores vs Washington
Technical Director Fernando Clavijo credited his assistant Luiz Muzzi with never forgetting about Hollingshead, staying in periodic contact throughout the year. With Hollingshead's dream of a self-sustaining church in Sacramento fulfilled, the door suddenly opened up for Ryan to pursue his other dream.
"Now that it's self-sustaining, it gives my wife and I a little bit more freedom to pursue something else," said Hollingshead. "We're really excited. I'm stoked that it worked out and we were able to set up something that worked both for FC Dallas and for us and now I'm just itching to get down there and ready to play."
There's plenty of excitement coming from Frisco as well, as Clavijo and FC Dallas add a player that could potentially make a difference in 2014. Listed at 6'1', 180 pounds, Hollingshead played all over the field in his four years at UCLA, but flourished in 2012 as a big-bodied two-footed attacking winger that loves to run at players, cut inside and have a shot.
WATCH: Hollingshead tallies goal and assist vs Oregon State
"He's a left-sided player that can play anywhere down that side, but attacking mostly," said Clavijo. "He's got a good engine up and down the field. He's always fit and I think that people are going to be happy with him."
"He's a quality individual. He's great to have around and I know he's going to fit well with everything we're doing here. We keep emphasizing that we're looking to not only bring good players in here, but good people too. Hopefully that is a reflection of the organization and a reflection of what the results will be in 2014."
Hollingshead said that his year away from the game shouldn't be too much of an issue as he worked to remain in shape, and now that the FC Dallas contract is finalized he'll be working over the next six weeks to regain his playing shape with a view to 2014 pre-season.
"It was all up in the air, but the way that it worked out and God ordained it, I'm so excited and just ready to prove it," said Hollingshead with his competitive side coming out a little bit. "Of course, when I first turned it down and said I'm going back to Sacramento there were a lot of people talking about it, saying different things, a lot of them rude things and I'm excited to get out there and just prove that I can play and they're going to want to put me on the field."

Secondary School recruitment agency listing
Secondary school teachers teach the national curriculum to pupils aged 11 to 18.
Qualifications and entry requirements
Secondary school teaching is a skilled profession and to work as a secondary school teacher, it is essential to have GCSEs in English and maths and a bachelors degree in a subject relating to the national curriculum. It is possible for prospective teachers to study for a bachelors degree with qualified teacher status (QTS). However, graduates without QTS must take a postgraduate teaching qualification, such as a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), or secure a place on a Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP). Before entering into employment, all secondary school teachers must have a Criminal Records Bureau clearance and experience of working with young people.
Employers and salaries
The main employers of secondary school teaching staff are state-maintained high schools and sixth form colleges. Independent schools also employ secondary school teachers. Full-time, part-time and temporary teacher jobs are readily available, particularly for teachers of subjects such as physics, chemistry, mathematics and modern languages. The majority of secondary school teacher jobs are publicised through specialist recruitment agencies.
Salaries for full-time secondary school teachers start at around £20,000 a year. Staff working in independent schools may earn more than those in state-maintained schools.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo.—A former CIA contractor involved in a fatal shootout in Pakistan and then charged with a felony in Colorado after a fight over a parking space has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor over the objections of the victim.
Raymond Allen Davis pleaded guilty Friday to third-degree assault. He was ordered to serve two years of probation.
Davis had been charged with felony assault, misdemeanor disorderly conduct, and a sentencing enhancing charge of crime of violence before reaching the plea deal that dropped those charges.
The charges stemmed from a fight outside a Highlands Ranch bagel shop in October 2011, about six months after Davis' release from Pakistan.
Jeff Maes says the fight injured his back and neck. His attorney opposed the plea deal, which called for no jail time.

Bcache allows one to use an SSD as a read/write cache (in writeback mode) or read cache (writethrough or writearound) for another blockdevice (generally a rotating HDD or array. This article will show how to install arch using Bcache as the root partition. For an intro to bcache itself, see the bcache homepage. Be sure to read and reference the bcache manual. Bcache is currently in the process of getting merged into the kernel.
An alternative to Bcache is Facebook's Flashcache
Temporary install to SSD
The ArchLinux install disk does not include bcache in its kernel. You could either re-master to the install disk to include this kernel, or do the install twice. The example below is for installing twice.
- Install archlinux as normal to the SSD. Don't go crazy with partitions, just a / and an EFI system partition if you're not booting bios mode. This is just the temporary system we'll use to install the final system.
- Reboot to verify the install in step 1 worked.
- Build and install the bcache enabled kernel and tools (see below). Be sure you install both the kernel and the kernel headers packages that are created.
- Reboot to the bcache enabled kernel
Final install to the HDD
1. Partition your hdd
grub can't handle bcache, so you'll need at least 2 partitions (boot and one for the bcache backing device). If you're doing UEFI, you'll need an EFI System Partition (ESP) as well.
ex: 1 2048 22527 10.0 MiB EF00 EFI System 2 22528 432127 200.0 MiB 8300 arch_boot 3 432128 625142414 297.9 GiB 8300 bcache_backing
2. Configure your HDD as a bcache backing device.
# make-bcache -B /dev/sda3
3. Register any bcache devices with the kernel (this needs to done every bootup)
for i in /dev/sd*; do echo $i; echo $i > /sys/fs/bcache/register_quiet; done
You now have a /dev/bcache0 device
7. Format the bcache device. Use LLVM or btrfs subvolumes if you want to divide up the /dev/bcache0 device how you like (ex for seperate /, /home, /var, etc).
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/bcache0 # mount /dev/bcache0 /mnt/ # btrfs subvolume create /mnt/root # btrfs subvolume create /mnt/home # umount /mnt
8. Reinstall to the bcache volume (alternatively you can rsync the install you made on the SSD)
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 # mkfs.msdos /dev/sda1 (if your ESP is at least 500MB, use mkfs.vfat to make a FAT32 partition instead) # pacman -S arch-install-scripts # mount /dev/bcache0 -o subvol=root,compress=lzo /mnt/ # mkdir /mnt/boot # mkdir /mnt/home # mount /dev/bcache0 -o subvol=home,compress=lzo /mnt/home # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot # mkdir /boot/efi # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi/
do the rest of the installation as normal
9. Build and install the bcache enabled kernel and tools (see below). Feel free to rsync the packages you already built on the SSD to avoid compiling again.
10. Edit the initramfs to register bcache devices on bootup (or it won't find root) Basically we need to do the same thing as in step 3, but every time we boot before the /dev/bcache0 device is available for root. This is done with Mkinitcpio
- a. make a file /usr/lib/initcpio/install/bcache which contains
#!/bin/bash build() { add_runscript } help() { cat <<HELPEOF This hook supports early, automatic registration of bcache devices. This is necessary if your root filesystem is on a /dev/bcacheX device HELPEOF }
- b. make a file /usr/lib/initcpio/hooks/bcache which contains
run_hook() { for i in /dev/sd*; do echo $i > /sys/fs/bcache/register_quiet done }
- c. in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, add bcache to the HOOKS array. ORDER MATTERS. It needs to be after udev and block and before filesystems.
- d. # mkinitcpio -p linux-bcache
11. Reboot and make sure it works from the /dev/bcache0 device
12. delete the partitions from /dev/sdb, format it as a caching device, and link it to the backing device
# parted /dev/sdb mklabel msdos; dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1 # make-bcache -C /dev/sdb # echo <Set UUID from previous command> > /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach # echo /dev/sdb > /sys/fs/bcache/register
If on step 11 you're sent to a busybox shell during root with an error about unable to find root device, you'll see (with ls) that /dev/bcache0 doesn't exist. This probably means something didn't work in step 10. In the mean time, manually register the bcache devices with the kernel as we did in step 3, then type "exit"
Kernel Building
Create the patch file
The code we're interested in is stored in the bcache_for_mainline branch of the bcache git repository.
1. Clone the bcache repo and checkout the bcache-for-upstream branch:
$ git clone http://evilpiepirate.org/git/linux-bcache.git $ cd linux-bcache $ git checkout bcache-for-upstream Branch bcache-for-upstream set up to track remote branch bcache-for-upstream from origin. Switched to a new branch 'bcache-for-upstream'
2. Use "git log" to find the last time bcache was merged with Linus's tree
$ git log
You should see a bunch of commits by Kent Overstreet. Scroll down an eventually you'll find one by Linus Torvalds. Copy the commit hash number for Linus's commit. Ex:
commit 6e0298acc81e98cf1516358f62d6f43187b0bfa3 Author: Kent Overstreet <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: Wed Sep 21 21:43:05 2011 -0700 Revert "rw_semaphore: remove up/down_read_non_owner" This reverts commit 11b80f459adaf91a712f95e7734a17655a36bf30. Bcache needs rw semaphores for cache coherency in writeback mode - writes have to take a read lock on a per cache device rw sem, and release it when the bio completes. But since this is for bios it's naturally not in the context of the process that originally took the lock. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <email@example.com> CC: Christoph Hellwig <firstname.lastname@example.com> CC: David Howells <firstname.lastname@example.com> commit 9931faca02c604c22335f5a935a501bb2ace6e20 Author: Linus Torvalds <email@example.com> Date: Wed Jan 9 18:59:55 2013 -0800 Linux 3.8-rc3
3. Create a patch for all the stuff since the last merge with Linus.
$ git format-patch 9931faca02c --stdout > bcache-patch-3.8-rc3.patch
Build the kernel
The patch made above should apply to a recent kernel. Thankfully, ArchLinux uses a very up to date kernel. It's possible you might have issues with the patch not applying cleanly. That's beyond the scope of this documentation.
Follow the instructions on Kernels/Compilation/Arch_Build_System to build a kernel with the patch applied. Below are the changes I had to make
1. Copy the bcache-patch-3.8-rc3.patch we made earlier into the kernel folder you created in "Getting the Ingredients".
2. Generate an md5sum for the patch using "md5sum bcache-patch-3.8-rc3.patch"
2. Edit the PKGBUILD file and
a. change pkgbase to "linux-bcache". b. add "bcache-patch-3.8-rc3.patch" to the end of the source list. c. add the md5sum from the previous step to the to the md5sums list d. uncomment "Enable make menuconfig" near the end of the build() function e Near the top of the build() function, add the lines to apply the patch # bcache patch against 3.8-rc3 # http://atlas.evilpiepirate.org/git/linux-bcache.git/log/?h=bcache-for-upstream patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/bcache-patch-3.8-rc3.patch"
3. Run makepkg. When the kernel config pops up, be sure to enable bcache. Unless you plan to debug, there's no need for the bcache debugging options.
Block device as cache (BCACHE) [N/m/y/?] (NEW) y Bcache debugging (BCACHE_DEBUG) [N/y/?] (NEW) n Extended runtime checks (BCACHE_EDEBUG) [N/y/?] (NEW) n Debug closures (BCACHE_CLOSURES_DEBUG) [N/y/?] (NEW) n Cgroup controls for bcache (CGROUP_BCACHE) [N/y/?] (NEW) n
4. Install the kernel packages. makepkg will have made a kernel package, docs package, and a headers package.

Over the past few days some eagle eyed gamers who we will not judge spotted something odd about the premium swimsuit costumes that are included with every copy of the Dead or Alive 5: Collector's Edition. Odd as in some are now more family friendly.
no jiggling butt cheeks??? Is that something to complain about? The volley ball game in there wasnt an arcade fighter so i dont think its censored.. I dont care if it is either.. I just want to beat some a$$ & marvel & the graphics
Pretty sad when the DOA5 bathing suits being censored is considered a worthy news item at all.
