Bethel Signs MGM Contract
New System
Insures Safety
For Girls' Dorms
As plans to select an architect
for the new campus rush hurriedly
on, Miss Effie Nelson, dean of wo-men,
has announced acquisition of
a new safety system for the girls'
In a joint meeting of the Hag-strom
and Bodien dorm councils
last week, Miss Nelson was re-ported
to have said:
"Mr. Lidbom has picked up a
dandy piece of surplus from the
government. A conference man
took the contract for wrecking
a de-activated prisoner-of-war
camp and generously offered to
sell the school an entire set of
cell-block doors and switches for
less than half price."
Upon investigation, the new
equipment was found to be truly
remarkable, and soon cries of "I
wonder what it's like!" and "Do
we all get to have one?" echoed
through Miss Nelson's office.
Feeling that the present system
had many flaws and was often not
completely objective, the girls were
obviously delighted with the new
Every evening at 10:40, when
all the girls are safely in, and
have had ample time to discuss
their evening's activities and pre-pare
themselves for a night of
rest, they will gather at the
doors to their rooms.
When everyone has been count-ed,
the campuser will take her
place at the end of the hall and
push a button so that all the doors
will swing open.
At the signal to enter, the girls
are expected to rush into their
rooms, glad to be removed from
annoying disturbances and pester-ing
friends. The campuser will
then push another button, and the
doors will swing shut, keeping the
girls safe and undisturbed until
ly and realistically converted into
a gigantic Egyptian banquet room.
"We plan no delineation between
the stage and the audience," Mr.
Rott supposedly commented, "and
hope to include everyone in an ex-perience
total drama."
Chairman of the'event, Liz
Carlsork was heard to have sup-ported
this cowpt since "this
will completelysolve our prob-lems
with the Friday night pro-gram
and the Saturday night
banquet by combining them both
on the same night."
Due to the mammoth construc-tion
problems created by the set-ting
of the opera, Harold Lidbom,
business manager, was reported to
have pledged the entire summer's
work of the maintenance depart-ment.
"Of course this means a
temporary abandonment of plans
for the rennovation of faculty of-fices,
but I'm sure they won't mind
waiting one more year."
MOST ENTHUSIASTIC about the
proposed program was, of course,
the music department, which has
required all its music majors to
aid in working on the opera.
"We feel that our revised cur-riculum
has allowed our majors
too much extra-time which could
be employed successfully in a
homecoming program," Julius
Whitinger, chairman of the de-partment,
was reported as say-ing.

study has already unearthed a
grave error in the ancient Scan-dinavian
calendar, making John
Alexis Edgren's birthday fall on
May 1, instead of the traditional
February date. In order to atone
for these many years of aberration,
Founder's week will henceforth be
held the first week in May.
A May-pole dance will become
part of the week's festivities, in
the hopes of binding the Bethel
family and its supports more
closely together. This will neces-sitate
moving the flagpole to the
center of the campus.
As Dean Larson was reported to
have said, "A flag after all, makes
a more fitting patriotic center for
the campus than the present sym-bol
of waste and corruption."

Phy Ed Finally Receives
True Credit Enumeration
Congratulations are in order to faculty members for their
most recent decision regarding academic policy. An informed
source has reported that the faculty, meeting in closed session,
voted unanimously to effect changes in three areas.
First of all, at the request of the current freshman class,
the credit remuneration for physical education was increased
to an allotment of one and one half credits per semester. The
change was necessitated by the large number of hours which
students were spending outside of class memorizing complex
badminton and ping pong rules and the extra practice time
required in order to pass the skill tests. The extremely compe-titive
pressures involved were also a factor.
After a closer inspection of this program, the faculty also
decided to make physical education a four-year requirement.
Justly concerned with the health of the student body, the fac-ulty
expressed the prevelant opinion of "Whenever in doubt,
require it!" Such action is more than commendatory as it em-phasizes
once again the faculty's desire to ascertain and react
to issues significant to the student body.
Following this action, the faculty granted a long-standing
request by completely eliminating any credit for participation
in music groups. Once again the faculty is to be commended for
their perceptive knowledgeability of the student situation. Here
the faculty correctly reasoned that since those students in-volved
with these activities were wholly and entirely dedicated
to their groups, they would be more than willing to sacrific-ially
contribute hours of their time Besides, the academicity
of this program was surely questionable.
Concomitant with these was the decision to lower the
total credit requirement for graduation, an act in keeping
with decisions made earlier in the year. The total was changed
from 123 credits to an even 100, as it was felt that this number
was more in the context of the current Decade Ten. With the
addition of the eight credits to the physical education program,
this would thus allow each student enough extra time to par-ticipate
in at least one extra-curricular activity.
Administration Heads For
Civil Defense Supplies
An interesting development is reportedly taking place in
the administrative offices on the first floor, for it has been
rumored that the administration has offered to trade locations
with the student offices in the lower level.
No reasons for this proposed change have been revealed
by those involved, but one has only to consider the location
of the survival supplies to realize a partial cause for the switch.
However, the most horrifying aspect of this situation lies
in the fact that with student offices located on the first floor,
they would be so easily accessible to any student enrolled in the
college that there would be little excuse for non-participation.
The effect which this situation might have in creating just
one huge social group on campus has implications of far too
vast a nature to even consider further.

Student Crime Ring Steals
Bethel's Rival of Mona Lisa
At the instigation of the Bodien
dorm council a search is being or-ganized
to find a priceless piece
of art that mysteriously disappear-ed
from the Bodien Lounge over
the weekend.
The dorm council issued a state-ment
to the press early today a-bout
the theft. The missing pic-ture
is a portrait of the Mrs. Bo-dien,
patron saint of the dormi-tory.
The president of the dorm
council indicated that the picture
has been missing several times
in the past but has always been
returned. On one occasion the
picture was discovered in the
course of a police search of the
women's dorm, calmly sitting in
the ladies room.
On another occasion the poor
lady was the unwitting witness of
a crime that transpired in the sen-ate
office. And, earlier this school
year, Mrs. Bodien was fondly pre-sented
as a birthday remembrance
to a counselor in the Edgren dor-mitory,
by some youthful prank-sters.
However, dorm council president
Judy Van feels that this recent
theft is of a different nature than
the others which were obviously
intended as good natured fun.
Bethel's Art Treasure
whereby a student's answers to
questions are met immediately by
an affirmative or negative re-sponse.
THIS IS accomplished by flash-ing
the image of a concerned tea-cher
on a screen, an approving
smile designating "Correct" and
an admonishing frown "Incorrect."
The major purpose of THE
TEACHER is to produce students
who can think and express them-selves
imaginatively. According
to one of the English faculty
members, "The thought of hun-dreds
of truly original young
minds pouring forth from Bethel
every year is, well, it's, Well,
it's tremendously exciting."
The invention instills creativity
in several ways. First it insists
upon imaginatively correct rhet-oric.
Thus, a student who composes
a paragraph under THE TEACH-ER's
guidance and omits a topic
sentence is met with the appro-prite
A STUDENT not relating every
sentence directly to the topic sen-tence
receives a similar response.
According to his closest associates,
Ernest Hemingway committed sui-cide
shortly after 25 minutes spent
with THE TEACHER.
The device also effectively cor-rects
spelling mistakes. Last
month, a U. of M. student suf-fered
nervous collapse from be-ing
met by an array of 144 leer-ing
faces after feeding a research
paper into THE TEACHER.
However, it is felt that this pun-ishment
is much more educational-ly
effective than merely failing
students who mis-spell.
The third way in which THE
TEACHER inspires originality is
by censoring vague, abstract, and
therefore bad writing. The works

minor exceptions of philosophers,
theologians, political theorists, sci-
Rallying to the call of President
John F. Kennedy, Dr. Anton Pear-son,
pacifist professor of Old
Testament at Bethel theological
seminary is reported to have or-ganized
a very unusual venture.
After considerable research, Dr.
Pearson has discovered that the
distance around the city of Jericho
seven times was nearly 50 miles,
and has contrived a plan that will
combine the best parts of JFK's
command for physical fitness and
the Lord's command to do away
with those who do not believe as
we do, all without betraying his
pacifist principles.
WHEN ASKED to elucidate his
plan, Dr. Pearson is said to have
said: "I have found that the dis-tance
seven times around the Vati-can
is quite close to the Biblical
distance around Jericho.

An organization has recently
been formed on campus with the
purpose, in the words of its foun-der,
Dr. Roy Butler, "in a very
real sense, to encourage the de-velopment
of a true Christian art."
Dr. Butler has indicated that the
organization is open to both stu-dents
and faculty members alike.
The group will function as a ser-vice
organization. The name of the
group is I.C.O.N. No adequate ex-planation
of what the initials stand
for has been made.
The very first purpose of the
group will be to rid the campus
of those art objects which, ac-cording
to Dr. Butler, "do not
in a very real sense express
through the intrinsicality of the
sensuous content, as a self-con-sistent
whole the basic presup-positions
of Christian theism."
Dr. Butler suggested at the or-ganizational
meeting of the I.C.O.N.
that a member should use as a
test of an art object the question,
"What is it?"
It is believed that more Bethel-ites
will join the organization when
word gets around that when a suf-ficiently
large quantity of unau-thentic
art objects have been col-lected
a torchlight parade and
weiner roast will be held.
Meanwhile, two unidentified
art students have volunteered to
sleep in the art lab until heavier
locks can be put on the doors.
Also, the Bethel authors club is
circulating a petition that But-ler's

"Wink It! Wink IC' screams veteran tiddly-wink
cheerleader Don Allison as Dr. Roy Dalton pre-pares
to sink another one for the glory of the school.
At latest count, nine separate dormitory teams had
been formed and even the women's office staff was
threatening to organize. Administrative reaction to
the game was varied, but one was heard to comment,
"But what would the constituency say if they knew
that Harvard was doing it too?"
10 -C In its continual striving to pro-mote
campus-wide physical fitness,
the athletic department has seen
fit to add yet another varsity team
to represent Bethel in inter-colleg-iate
sports competition.
Recently formed is the Bethel
Royal tiddlywink squad, predicted
to be the largest crowd-drawer
since girls' basketball. According
to rumor, coach Gene Glader push-ed
for the formation of a tiddly-winks
team after observing the
high level of interest shown for
the game in the physical education
Try-outs were held in the field-house
last week where forty to
fifty tiddlywinking hopefuls com-peted
for varsity positions. The
team, reduced to six members,
includes captain Ray "Soft-shot"
Shepherd, Don "Flip" Moore,
Lee "Winker" Bajuniemi, Jim
"Tilt" Nelson, Vince "Slap-shot"
Bloom and Phil "Lucky" Bolin-der.
"Winker" Bajuniemi, the team's
most promising player so far, has
been amazing fellow team mem-bers
and spectators alike with his
spectacular ten foot slop-shot.
Those of you who thrilled to
"Winker's" thirty foot "swishers'
on the basketball court, will be
doubly-thrilled as the wink is flip-ped,
sails end over end through
the air, and settles in the cup with
a resounding "clink," touching
nary a part of the lip of the cup
in the process.
Coaching this year's team will
be Dr. Roy Dalton, a four year
varsity player in his college days
and a constant pusher for the
sport since coming to Bethel. Dr.
Dalton was overheard saying,
"Now I'll show Healy what it's
like to have a winning team at
Roy mentioned last week that
the uniforms for the team would
be white with blue and gold polka
Some of the opponents on this
year's schedule include the U. of
Minnesota, Harvard, Yale, Colum-bia
and Arkansas State Abnormal.

Word is out that the athletic department has conformed to the
trend and commissioned coaches Jerry Healy, Owen Halleen and Gene
Glader on a two-month recruiting trip to General conference overseas
missions. Until Healy's wife received a request for extra athletic scholar-ship
funds, no word had been received concerning the trio's where-abouts.
Through subsequent correspondence we have learned of their
recruiting attempts.
Armed with wrist watches and trinkets, the team penetrated the
dark jungles of Africa until they encountered an unusual native.
Perceiving him to be a Ubangi, Healy recommended leaving him
since he was under seven feet. It was reported that Healy questioned
what use such big lips could be, but Halleen immediately disagreed
and signed him up; he could use him for a catcher.
Healy's biggest concern, of course, was finding a substitute for ace
senior basketball player, Lee Bajuniemi. Finding such a substitute re-mained
a puzzle to the recruiters until Glader hit upon a brilliant idea.
The others mutually approved and the group immediately set out for
the nearest Pygmie village. Their hopes, however, were stifled when
they discovered that the village had no Pygmies.
Halleen recognized one of the natives as a Watusi of modest sta-ture.
Finding him friendly, Healy casually sauntered over to him and
stood next to him. Then he timidly looked into his eyes and in his
bashful little way asked, "You playum basketball?" The native smiled,
reached down to pat him on the head and answered, "I dunno, think
I'm tall enough?"
Primarily concerned with building up the football team, Halleen
made it known in all the neighboring villages what he was looking
for. One of the chieftans, somewhat familiar with the game, offered
him an elephant in exchange for a trinket. But Halleen refused,
mumbling something to the effect of what would he want with an
elephant when he had Vince Bloom?
After meeting John Wayne chasing rhinoceros and having coffee
with him at the local coffee shop, the coaches continued their recruit-ing
safari. Glader, who has recently been suspected of feather-bedding
with foam rubber, set as his goal finding someone to run with his
crack distance runner, Fred Purcell. But the closest he could come was
a gazelle with overdrive.

Welcome to Bull in the Basement This site is to share my passion in the value of working with your hands which is something I learned from my father. Being raised without the proverbial silver spoon in our mouths, we looked to our hands to build our dreams. Ultimately, I would spend 17 years of my life building a Lamborghini Countach from scratch and in all places, my basement.
What has been a lifelong vision finally came to fruition in 2008 when we used a backhoe to dig a ramp in front of my house, busted out a basement wall and breathed life into what I call my Bull in the Basement . To say the least, this journey has been a wild and challenging ride that has had a profound impact on my family, friends and my spiritual life as a whole. It is an insane, yet an inspirational story that I wish to share with everyone who cares to hear.
I have a wonderful wife named Eileen, who has supported an obsessive husband with a car in our basement for 17 years. She has put up with unimaginable extremes, both financially as well as mentally and I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart for her tenacity to believe in me.
We sincerely thank you for your interest in our website and you can support us by sharing our Testimony and Ministry with others.
GOD Bless you my new friend,
Ken & Eileen Imhoff

Okay, well I guess I haven't posted anything in a while. It's been crazy round here, and I've neglected the one web log that updates up to a dozen people on my goings on. Shame on me. So, real quick.
I just finished up a weekend helping to put on CAKE, the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo. It was a whole ton of work that me and fellow organizers Neil Brideau, Edie Fake, Max Morris, and Grace Tran put together. It happened this past weekend, (June 16th and 17th) at Columbia Colleges Ludington building. I uploaded some pictures of the weekend and the side events over on the CAKE flicker page.
It was a great time, and I met a lot of new people and saw old friends. It was the first alternative comics show in the city in 16 years and by all accounts was a success. Never ones to rest on our laurels, the organizers were seen on Grace's porch the night after the show discussing the events and preparing for next year.
I could go on with the details of the show, but I'm still too tired....
Also since I've last posted things have been growing with the guys over at bindledog. We recently saw the debut of Comedy Bang Bang on IFC. Why is this significant? Because Comedy Bang Bang is a great podcast and now a great TV show? No, Because the super talent know as Paul Hornschemeier was the concept artist of the show? No... well....yes, yes because of that, and because Paul hired us at bindledog on the animate his artwork for the title sequence. So that was fun. You can see the show and our title sequence every Friday night over on IFC. That's the Independent Film Channel....Yes it's a cable channel...Yes, really....they've been around for a while...I don't know ten years?....Yes, really. We're also still putting out cartoons once in a while for other people who run a sporting organization of sorts. In unrelated news, Dave Dameshek has a great podcast, we love that guy.
Last, and certainly least when it comes to the time I have left, is the Burning Building Comix Collection that I'm still working on. That sucker is nearly done, but keeps getting pushed back by the likes of CAKE and IFC. Still I promise it will be done, and soon!....whats that? ....I don't know a couple weeks, maybe sooner...yeah, well then off to the printer!...what's that?...it take a couple months, they're over seas....(sigh).
Also, my kids are great.

WESTERVILLE, Ohio -- Charley Hoffman played so badly on the last day at the Memorial that he thought about skipping the U.S. Open qualifier. He changed his mind and now is headed to Merion.
Hoffman, whose 81 was the worst score in the final round at the Memorial, opened with a 7-under 65 at The Lakes and followed with a 68 at Brookside to lead a group of 15 players who qualified for the U.S. Open. The Columbus-area qualifier was filled with several PGA Tour players who had been at Muirfield Village.
"Frankly, I wasn't sure I was going to play in the qualifier," Hoffman said. "I didn't know if I would show up. I had been out six of the last seven weeks. That bad round got me motivated, and Sunday night I decided I didn't want to let that linger."
He qualified for his third U.S. Open.
Josh Teater, Robert Karlsson and Luke Guthrie pulled off an "Open double." All three qualified for the British Open in a 36-hole qualifier two weeks ago, and both earned a spot in the U.S. Open on Monday. Teater was in the group that tied for second, while Guthrie got the last spot in an 11-for-7 playoff.
Others who qualified from Columbus -- David Hearn, Nicholas Thompson, Brendan Steele, David Lingmerth and Brandt Jobe. Along with Guthrie, the other playoff survivors were Ted Potter Jr., Aaron Baddeley, Rory Sabbatini, Justin Hicks, Sang-moon Bae and Doug LaBelle II.
Sabbatini, who will be making his 11th trip to the U.S. Open, got in with a birdie on the second playoff hole, just before darkness fell. Two alternates were still to be decided.
"It's very grueling. I'm tired, I'm beat, I'm ready to sit down and do nothing," he said, adding that now he has to figure out a flight plan to get to Memphis for this week's tour event. "I got 4 hours of sleep last night. I had to wait for my clubs to arrive after they were lost. I got them in time, though."
The final stage of U.S. Open qualifying stretched one end of the country to the other on Monday with 11 sites hosting 36-hole qualifiers. The two largest were built around the PGA Tour -- Columbus with 15 spots and Memphis, Tenn., with nine spots, ahead of the St. Jude Classic this week.
Two sites had to return Tuesday morning to decide the final spot in a playoff -- Ryan Palmer and Zack Fischer in Dallas, and 15-year-old David Snyder and John Nieporte in the Bradenton, Fla., qualifer.
The surprise in Memphis was Kevin Sutherland. He is recovering from a neck injury that kept him out much of last season, has made only one cut this year and hasn't competed on Sunday. He had his older brother, former tour player David Sutherland, caddie for him and produced rounds of 66-67 to qualify for his first U.S. Open since 2009 at Bethpage Black.
The heroics belonged to Scott Langley, a PGA Tour rookie who nailed down a spot on the strength of a hole-in-one in his second round. Also advancing at Colonial Country Club outside Memphis were Shawn Stefani, Jerry Kelly, Morgan Hoffmann, Joe Ogilvie, Alistair Presnell, Andrew Svoboda and mini-tour player Brandon Crick. Scott Stallings, who tied for fourth in the Memorial and then flew down to Tennessee, was the odd man out in a 3-for-2 playoff.
The day was not without a bizarre disqualification.
Two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen was in the Rockville, Md., qualifier, but only for one round. After opening with a 75, it was discovered he was wearing steel spikes, typical on the PGA Tour but not allowed at Woodmont Country Club.
All players were notified about the ban on spikes in a letter dated May 20 -- it was the second item, right above a notification that shorts were allowed. The only two sectional sites that allow steel spikes are the two PGA Tour locations in Ohio and Memphis. The U.S. Open championship, which starts June 13, also allows metal spikes.
In other qualifiers:
- In Ball Ground, Ga., Michael Kim atoned for Cal's failure to win the NCAA title by earning a spot in the U.S. Open.
Kim might have had the longest trip to get to Merion next week for the second major championship. Cal ended its dream season by losing in the NCAA semifinals on Saturday. Kim was in Ohio on Sunday to receive the Jack Nicklaus Award as the top Division I player -- presented by Nicklaus himself -- and then he returned to Georgia for qualifying. He had rounds of 67-66 at Hawk's Ridge in Ball Ground, Ga. to tie for medalist honors and earn one of three spots.
- In Springfield, Ohio, Brian Stuard earned one of two spots with rounds of 65-64 to win medalist honors by six shots. It will be his first major championship.
- In New York, 18-year-old Gavin Hall birdied his last four holes to get into his first U.S. Open. He shared medalist honors with Jesse Smith in getting one of four spots. The fourth and final spot went to Jim Herman, who has Richard Sterne to thank for that. Sterne, eligible through his world ranking, withdrew from the U.S. Open, so the USGA awarded an extra spot to the New York qualifier.
- In Rockville, Md., the qualifiers included Russell Knox of Scotland, Mathew Goggin of Australia and Adam Hadwin of Canada. It did not include Sam Saunders, the grandson of Arnold Palmer, who bogeyed his last hole. Golf Channel reported that he missed a tap-in early in this round, and Saunders wound up losing out on the last spot in a playoff. That went to Matt Bettencourt.
- In Dallas, 19-year-old Jordan Spieth can add the U.S. Open to his burgeoning schedule. He ran off three late birdies and shared medalist honors with Edward Loar and Matt Weibring. The fourth spot featured a 2-for-1 playoff between PGA Tour winner Palmer and Fischer.
- In Washington state, Wil Collins and Cheng-Tsung Pan earned the two spots. Casey Martin, the golf coach at Oregon, opened with a 77 and tied for 21st.
- In St. Louis, 54-year-old Jay Don Blake was the medalist. Blake wasn't even going to play until he received a letter in the mail earlier this year that he was exempt into the second stage. He figured he might as well give it a try.
- At Newport Beach, Calif., Max Homa made it two Golden Bears in the U.S. Open. He joined fellow amateur Cory McElyea in getting the two spots in a playoff. Among the other five who qualified was Roger Tambellini and Bio Kim.
- In Bradenton, Fla., amateur Kevin Phelan was medalist. The qualifier was stopped by rain for about 90 minutes, and the playoff for the final spot was to resume Tuesday.

Hard to pin down but director says Carmen will float
TUESDAY 10.30am. Rehearsals. Day one. Short in stature, but big on ideas director Gale Edwards tells the cast and crew assembled for a new production of one of the world's most popular operas she deliberately won't date her production of Carmen. They also have just three weeks of rehearsals.
Edwards ''reserves the right'' to draw broadly on imagery from the long dictatorship of Spain's General Franco, she says, standing in the aptly named Hall of Legends at Sydney Olympic Park.
Besides, she confides to Fairfax Media, people will nitpick about, say, the specific details of a soldier's outfit if a particular year is named.
Yet who would notice? Amid the bright and blingy white and red matador costumes, pop-art yellow and black-skirted bullfight ladies, the gaggle of dancing boys flaying one gypsy's four-metre-round skirt into shapes and 60 flamenco dancers, Opera Australia is preparing a riot of colour to launch Bizet's Carmen as its second Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour from March 22.
Following last year's success of La Traviata, Carmen will be staged on a platform to be built at Mrs Macquarie's Chair. Construction begins next week, with Carmen spelt out in blood-red letters Hollywood-style and white searchlights raking the sky.
Carmen was a ''revolutionary thinker, far ahead of her time'', Edwards tells the assembled throng. She was ''much more'' than a femme fatale: ''She said, 'I have the right to go where I want, do what I want, and stand outside the status quo'.'' Carmen was ''fighting for things only recently achieved by women''.
Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita was Edwards's inspiration, an idea she workshopped for 18 months with set designer Brian Thomson, but is merely a clue to the show's date.
The dance choreographer Kelley Abbey tells them she is aiming for ''muscular, athletic, juicy delivery and shape''. Of more than 300 costumes across four acts, the costume designer Julie Lynch singles out the male flamenco dancers' white singlets and tight pants as a favourite. ''I enjoyed those fittings,'' she smiles.
The previous night, Opera Australia took the cast by boat to Mrs Macquarie's Chair. One of the two performers who will alternate the role of Carmen, Israel-born, New York-based Rinat Shaham - who has portrayed Carmen in 37 productions - entertained the gathering by singing the famous aria Habanera, between sips of South Australian shiraz.
The second Carmen, Milijana Nikolic, has been doing fittings for Carmen's red dress. Given Nikolic is 185 centimetres tall, that won't help Shaham, who is much shorter.
Given the ambition of four very different acts and a vintage Jaguar Mark 5 to emerge from a holding bay carrying toreador lover Escamillo, fittings should be a snap.

January 2015 Dr. Paul E. M. Phillips spoke on "Phasic Dopamine Transmission During Substance Abuse," describing investigations that he has led into the role of brief, seconds-long bursts of dopamine signaling in addictive processes. Dr. Rita Z. Goldstein spoke on "Targeting the Brain, Cognition, and Motivation for Intervention in Addiction."
November 2014 This animation shows the rapid passage of cocaine through the brain. It demonstrates that the intensity of the cocaine "high" parallels the trajectory of cocaine levels in the brain.
October 2014 Research shows that some gene variants that influence body mass index also shape smoking behaviors.
August 2014 Four high school students were honored for their work regarding e-cigarettes, the GABAA neuroreceptor, and adolescent multitasking.
July 2014 The Scientific Director of NIDA's Intramural Research Program talks about switching off animals' compulsive cocaine seeking by optogenetically activating the prefrontal cortex, and the implications of this work for people. In an accompanying podcast, Dr. Bonci walks viewers through experiments that showed that prefrontal cortex activity levels may constitute a simple switch controlling whether or not animals compulsively seek cocaine.
June 2014 Two recent studies suggest that genotyping may enable clinicians to base therapies on individual patients' potential responsiveness to opioid drugs' therapeutic effects and vulnerability to their harmful effects.
May 2014 A brain response occurs in the nucleus accumbens when rats encounter a cue that they associate with previous cocaine self-administration, but not a cue associated with a pleasurable non-drug experience. Moreover, the response correlates in time and intensity with the animals' cue-induced relapse to cocaine-seeking.
May 2014 One of NIDA's goals is to try to understand the individual differences that contribute to whether or not someone who takes a drug will become addicted to it. Dr. Rutter's research focuses on three types of differences: Environmental, developmental, and genetic and epigenetic.
March 2014
Methamphetamine alters brain structures involved in decision-making and impairs the ability to suppress habitual behaviors that have become useless or counterproductive. The two effects were correlated, indicating that the structural change underlies the decline in mental flexibility.

January 2014 Ketoprofen, an anti-inflammatory agent commonly prescribed to treat arthritis, reduces neuronal damage in rats that have been exposed to chronic stress and methamphetamine. If this finding of a recent NIDA-supported study extrapolates to humans, anti-inflammatory medications may gain a place in the treatment of methamphetamine addiction.

The fact of the matter is I actually like gift giving. And of course… I LOVE gift getting. ☺ I think it's the pressure that usually ends up getting to me and ruining the beauty of it. Sometimes I think it would be nice if you could just give a friend a gift the third Saturday of July and say MERRY CHRISTMAS! Or, be walking through the mall and grab something small for your Mom just because you know she would like it, and not still feel obligated to find something she may or may not like by December 25th. Nobody has to pretend they love the new flannel pajamas from Grandma.
So, out of all the "gifts" I might get this year, I think I may have already received my favorite one. I just finished slathering my lips with my new Burt's Bees chapstick, bought for me by my best friend this weekend while we were out enjoying life and being thankful for the amazing friendships we've kept alive the last 15 years. (In case you aren't aware, Burt's Bee's is the fancy schmancy stuff, not just the regular, plain kind I usually purchase for myself. It's easily four bucks at least.) Hours earlier I had complained of chapped lips and while she was at the register purchasing a book at Border's, she saw the chapstick and thought of me. When she got back to the table she told me to close my eyes and hold out my palm, then proceeded to drop this little gem into my outstretched hand. I squealed in delight. No, really…I did. Hopefully she realizes that it's probably the best Christmas gift I'll get this year and that she is totally off the hook a month from now. Because to me, that simple act of kindness was indicative of how I want all my gifts to be given. Simple...from the heart…and given just because. If it happens in December that's fine, but it's not necessary. Every time I use my chapstick I will think of her and the amazing, thoughtful friend that she is. Merry Christmas to me… on November 28th.
And here are some pics of the people I love and are thankful for that I got to spend some quality time with this weekend...
My beautiful cousins,sis, and I
My best friends (the chapstick giver is 2nd from right!)

Doug, Thank you very much for sharing the context of your decision. My initial question was: "In the context where a public protocol and it participating private implementation/services are all described using the same language/formalism, how important are cancellation/compensating transactions and visual notations?" Best, Edwin -----Original Message----- From: Doug Bunting [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 3:08 PM To: email@example.com Cc: 'Jeff Mischkinsky'; firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Proposed Draft Charter for Choreography WG Edwin, In earlier teleconferences, the group consensus seemed to head away from the distinction you're making. Public and private are recursive contexts in this domain. Even in the most widely distributed choreography use case, some aspects of the "private" description may be important to all participating services because they are operating as peers. The business use case David Burdett forwarded shows this relatively clearly: The three companies and their tools need to know more than "just" the separate interfaces to the other companies. As well, decisions made rely on information "internal" to the choreography all are involved in. I believe the current charter is appropriately silent on this distinction and that it reflects our thinking. Please let us know if I'm mis-remembering something or misinterpreting your comments. thanx, doug Edwin Khodabakchian wrote: Jeff, It seems that the working group is walking towards a spefication that describes/combines both the public protocol/interface and the private implementation (executable workflow language). If that is the case, shouldn't the requirements for private implementation also include the need for a transactional model? Exceptions are really what make execution of compositions/workflows complex by increasing the variability of the fabric that ties the services together. As discussed in the mailing list earlier, exceptions can not be abstracted out of the workflow logic. It seems that the only way to reduce this complexity and make the solution viable for production systems is to have a framework for cancellation/compensation/transactions built into the language. Also visualization/notations are a very important aspect of the problem: XML is a pretty inhuman programming language and therefore the goal/dream here is that most of the private implementations will be generated by visual tools. BPMI for example has be working on a notation language for about a year or so. BPML learned the hard way that the notation language was a very important aspect of the usability and therefore could not be an after thought. Any thoughts?

Group Home Page <> 4. Meetings <> 5. Resources <> 6. W3C Team Involvement <> 7. Intellectual Property <> 6. References <> 1 Goals and Scope of the Web Services Choreography Working Group It has become clear that a next step in the evolution of Web services will be the ability to compose and describe the relationships between Web services. Although differing terminology is used in the industry, such as orchestration, collaboration, coordination, conversations, etc., the terms all share a common characteristic of defining linkages and usage patterns between web services. For the purpose of this document, and without prejudice, we use the term choreography as a moniker to denote this space. Many presentations at the W3C Workshop on Web services of 11-12 April 2001 pointed to the need for a common interface and composition language to help address choreography. The Web Services Architecture Requirements working draft created by the Web Services Architecture WG also lists the idea of Web service choreography capabilities as a Critical Success Factor, in support of several different top-level goals for the nascent Web services architecture. Two technical submissions -- WSCL[6] <> , and WSCI[2] <> , have recently been published by the W3C as Technical Notes. There are other industry efforts in the area of choreography languages, such as BPML[7] <> (defined by BPMI.org), BPSS[8] <> (defined by ebXML.org), IBM's WSFL[9] <> , MSFT's XLANG[10] <> , and IBM/MSFT/BEA's BPEL4WS[3] <> and their companion specifications WS-Coordination[4] <> and WS-Transaction[5] <> ), etc. The problems posed by the lack of a widely adopted choreography specification, the current proliferation of overlapping work, and the time required to complete this effort merit the chartering a new W3C WG now. This WG should address the choreography space encompassed by the input documents and deliverables. This WG should also coordinate with other WGs within the Web Service Activity, with the aim of developing an interoperable and open standard for Web service choreography WSDL has proved very useful for describing a single service. Currently complex natural language describing the obligations of the participants detailing how to use a service (sequencing, state management, etc.) have to accompany a WSDL description. The next step is to partially replace these somewhat imprecise instructions with precise language. This will simplify the daunting task companies now face when trying to use web services to integrate their business processes. In a B2B context such a specification could reduce the cost of integrating with new trading partners and responding to changes in existing interfaces. In addition, creating a standard language to describe the relationships between document exchanges will be helpful to other standards bodies, such as RosettaNet or CIDX, giving them a standard infrastructure for message choreography and enabling them to focus on the core competencies relevant to their domain. The Web Services Choreography Working Group, part of the Web Services <file:///2002/ws/Activity> Activity, is chartered to create the definition of a choreography, language(s) for describing a choreography, as well as the rules for composition of, and interaction among, such choreographed Web services. The language(s) should build upon the foundation of the Web Service Description Language <file:///2002/ws/desc/> (WSDL). 1.1 Inputs The Working Group shall start by considering the various input documents listed below and refine the scope and factorization of the choreography space. The Working Group is also expected to be aware of other work that has been published in this area, although it is not a formal input. The Working Group shall consider, at a minimum, as input: * Web <http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/arch/2/08/wd-wsa-arch-20020821.html> Services Architecture [1] <> * BPEL4WS <http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-bpel/> [3] <> (if made available to the W3C by its owners) * WSCI <http://www.w3.org/TR/wscl10/> [2] <> * W3C Choreography Workshop [date tbd] 1.2 Deliverables The Working Group shall produce the following deliverables: * A requirements document. including a detailed description of the factorization of the Choreography space * Usage scenarios * One or more specifications of choreography language(s) and its XML Schema. * A Primer * A test suite A test suite will be developed by the Working Group in order to assess advancement to Proposed Recommendation stage and to promote interoperability. The Working Group is expected to demonstrate two interoperable implementations during the Candidate Recommendation phase. Conformance requirements must be clearly stated in the specification produced. The choreography specification(s) shall define (at a minimum) the behavior and language constructs for the following key concepts: * Composition features * The ability to define a choregraphy as a web service, i.e. a recursive composition model. * Definition of the choreography's externally observable behavior. * Ability to specify externally defined constraints. * Ability to represent stateful choreographies. * Definition of the identity of a choreography instance. * Lifecycle management (e.g. creation, termination, etc.). * Message exchange interactions between web services (e.g. receive, invoke, etc.). * Behavior definitions (e.g. sequencing, looping concurrent execution, etc.). * Scoping rules. * Activities. * Associations * Roles based on web service use. * Linkages between web services. * References to web services. * Message exchanges * Conversations - correlated message exchanges that define interactions between web services. * Correlations and their life cycle management. * Correlation relationships with choreography instances and state. * State Management * Definition, manipulation, and query capabilities 2 Out of Scope 2.1 Qualities It is obvious that transactions, security, reliability, availability, and other such qualities are intimately related with Web service choreography, some more than others. It is not the goal of this group to define these mechanisms, but it must clearly articulate the boundaries. 2.2 Mappings to Programming Languages Web services are composed of interfaces to applications, which can be written in different programming languages. The purpose of the Working Group is to provide a framework that supports a wide variety of applications and programming languages, and is not geared towards any programming language. Given the wide variety of programming languages, the Working Group should not define mappings to any programming languages. 3 Schedule These are subject to revision due to editorial needs and external scheduling issues; updates will be negotiated with the related groups <> and recorded on the Web Services Choreography Working Group home page. Meeting dates are mentioned here for planning purposes. December 2002 Working Group chartered January 2003 W3C Workshop on Web Services Choreography February 2003 First Working Group face-to-face meeting <> April 2003 First requirements document for Web services choreography July 2003 First Working Draft of the Web services choreography specification. January 2004 Candidate Recommendation for the Web services choreography specification. June 2004 Recommendation for the Web services choreography specification. June 2004 Working Group ends The target duration of the Working Group is 2 years, through June 2004. Experience suggests that 6 months of contingency should be allowed to accommodate unexpected obstacles to progress. 4 Relationship with Other Work 4.1 W3C Groups and Activities XML and XML derived activities have become a strategic technology in W3C and elsewhere. Each deliverable of any Working Group must satisfy the dependencies from other W3C Working Groups before it can advance to Candidate Recommendation. Web Services Activity The Web Services Architecture Working Group has been chartered to create a document describing the architecture of Web services. A working draft of this document is now available. The Working Group will continue to take this document into account while designing the choreography language in order to make sure that Web services can be deployed in an optimal way, as recommended by the Web Services Architecture Working Group. The Working Group must describe services accessible via WSDL 1.2 defined by the Web Services Description Group. It is expected that other Working Groups will be formed to deal with different aspects of the Web services architecture. The Working Group will closely coordinate its work with any other Working Group formed within the Web Services Activity and generally in the Web services area, as well as with relevant Working Groups outside of the Web Services Activity. The Working Group will participate in the Web Services Coordination Group. XML Activity The typing of the messages must be possible using XML Schema. While no dependencies other than the one with the XML Schema Working Group are presently identified, the Web Services Description Working Group should be prepared to coordinate with the XML Activity as necessary. QA Activity The Working Group will develop a primer and a test suite in order to improve the quality of the documents produced and their implementations. Internationalization Activity The Internationalization Working Group will review work to ensure that principles developed by that group are consistently applied. Web Accessibility Initiative The work of the Working Group will be subject to review by this project. XForms Working Group XForms can be seen as providing a user interface for Web services. The Working Group will call for requirements from the XForms Working Group, if any. 4.2 External Groups The Web Services Choreography Working Group should liaise with at least the following groups outside W3C (see also W3C liaisons with other organizations): ebXML Joint Co-ordination Committee The ebXML initiative <http://www.ebxml.org/> was a joint activity of UN/CEFACT <http://www.unece.org/> (the United Nations body responsible for UN/EDIFACT <http://www.unece.org/trade/untdid/welcome.htm> ) and OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org/> (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards). Their charter was to develop an XML-based infrastructure for electronic commerce, with a particular focus on making connections between EDI and XML. While the original ebXML initiative's charter ended in May of 2001, the work transitioned to the respective sponsoring organizations (OASIS and UN/CEFACT) under the auspices of an MOU signed by the two in May of 2001. UN/CEFACT (United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business) The International Trade and Business Processes Group (TBG) maintains ebXML Business Process Specification Schema, a metamodel for business processes that is part of the ebXML framework. BPMI.org BPMI.org is a non-profit working towards establishing standards for the management of business processes that span multiple applications, corporate departments and business partners. Workflow Management Coalition The Workflow Management Coalition, founded in August 1993, is a non-profit, international organization of workflow vendors, users, analysts and university/research groups. The Coalition's mission is to promote and develop the use of workflow through the establishment of standards for software terminology, interoperability and connectivity between workflow products. 5 Participation, Meetings, and Logistics 5.1 Participation To join the Web Services Choreography Working Group, please follow the instructions of section 4.2.3 of the Process Document, sending email to the Working Group Chair and the W3C Team contact. The nomination must include explicit agreement to this charter, including its goals, an IPR <> disclosure and the level of effort required of the representative. Each Member organization may have at most two participants in the Working Group. Only Working Group participants may engage in formal votes on substantive issues. When a formal vote is required, each Member organization or group of related Members is allowed one vote, even though the Member may have several participants in the Working Group. The W3C Team is expected to have at most two participants in the Working Group (including the Team contact). When a formal vote is required, the Team is allowed one vote. Membership is also open to invited experts from the community, selected by the Chair in order to balance the technical experience of the group. Each participant should expect to spend one day per week on work for this Working Group. 5.2 Email Communication The Working Group will utilize a public mailing list <email@example.com <mailto:email@example.com> > for its technical email communications. It is referred to in the rest of this document as the Working Group mailing list. A Member-only mailing list <firstname.lastname@example.com <mailto:email@example.com> > is available for administrative purposes only. 5.3 Group Home Page The Working Group has a home page that records the history of the group, provides access to the archives, meeting minutes, updated schedule of deliverables, membership list, and relevant documents and resources. The page is available to the public and should be maintained by the Chair in collaboration with the W3C Team contact. 5.4 Meetings The Working Group will have distributed and face-to-face meetings. A one- to two-hour Working Group distributed meeting will be held every week. When necessary to meet agreed-upon deadlines, distributed meetings may be held twice a week. The Working Group may schedule face-to-face meetings in a manner that maximizes co-location with events that Working Group members would be attending anyway. Participation in meetings (distributed or face-to-face) is limited to participants in good standing and individuals invited at the discretion of the Chair to specific meetings. Decisions taken in meetings must be announced on the Working Group mailing list. Observers may take part in decision-making at the discretion of the Chair. Meeting records must include attendance, the results of group decisions, and action items. They must be made publicly available except for non-technical issues that do not directly affect the output of the Working Group. The Chair will decide which issues are not made public. 5.5 Resources To be successful, we expect the Working Group to have approximately 20 to 30 active participants. A large public review group that will participate in the mailing list discussions is expected. The Chair for the Web Services Choreography Working Group will be XXXX. 5.6 W3C Team Involvement The W3C Team expects to dedicate the time of the services of one Team Contact, full-time, for the 2-year duration of the Working Group. XXXX will provide this effort. 5.7 Intellectual Property W3C promotes an open working environment. Whenever possible, technical decisions should be made unencumbered by intellectual property right (IPR) claims. W3C's policy for intellectual property is set out in section 2.2 of the W3C Process document. Members of the Working Group are expected to disclose any intellectual property they have in the area. This WG will work on a royalty-free <http://www.w3.org/TR/patent-practice#sec-Licensing> basis, as defined in the W3C Current Patent Practice <http://www.w3.org/TR/patent-practice> document. The Working Group is thus obliged to produce a specification which relies only on intellectual property available on a royalty-free basis. If it proves impossible to produce specifications implementable on a royalty-free basis, then a Patent Advisory Group will be launched as described in the W3C Current Patent <http://www.w3.org/TR/patent-practice#sec-PAG> Practice document. Members disclose patent and other IPR claims by sending email to <email@example.com>, an archived mailing <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/patent-issues/> list that is readable by Members and the W3C Team. Members must disclose all IPR claims to this mailing list but they may also copy other recipients. IPR disclosures are expected to be made public; Members should specify if their disclosure is confidential. 6 References [1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/arch/2/08/wd-wsa-arch-20020821.html [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/wsci/ [3] http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-bpel/ [4] http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-coor/ [5] http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-transpec/ [6] http://www.w3.org/TR/wscl10/ [7] http://www.bmpi.org [8] http://www.ebxml.org/specs/ebBPSS.pdf [9] http://www-3.ibm.com/software/solutions/webservices/pdf/WSFL.pdf [10] http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/xml_wsspecs/xlang-c/default.htm <http://www.ebxml.org/specs/ebBPSS.pdf> _____ Team Contact: XXXXXReceived on Thursday, 7 November 2002 18:43:11 UTC

Meet Our Girl…Holly, the romantic! When you first meet Holly, you will fall in love with her precious paisley print and lovely lace. One of our newest members to the Aerie family, Holly gives you the perfect fit for any special occasion.
Let's talk style. Holly has a balconette frame, and has a super romantic fit that is perfect for your low scoop neck tees. She's different than our pushup bras because her cut is straight across and gives you a bit more of a fuller look at the top, instead of pushing them in and creating cleavage. When asked what her favorite part about Holly was, Lori F. Aerie's Vice President shared, "it has the perfect amount of lift!" What's doing the work behind-the-scenes? Just a little bit of soft foam padding that gives you that natural lift. Plus, she has soft adjustable straps to make a long day a lot easier.
While fit is incredibly important, especially with a new bra, we know color is really what makes it or break it! We offer three unique colors and patterns for the Holiday season:
– Paisley Print, in True Black and Buff
– Embroidered Dot, in Natural Nude and Stone
– Allover Lace, in True Black, Star, and Soft Muslin
"The Paisley Print is my favorite and I love it's menswear inspired feel," shares Aerie's Senior Director of Marketing, Dana S. If you take a closer look at the design, you can spy a bow cinch at the bridge of the front of the bra that almost looks like the knot in a tie.
Maybe it's her seasonal name, or maybe it's her luxurious lace, but we are head over heels for Holly. Try her now in stores and online. Need help determining your bra size? Ask a bra expert once you enter your local Aerie for a free bra fitting.
Love Holly? Share with us your new favorite with #AeriePretty on Instagram or Twitter and tag @Aerie, or comment below!
xo, Aerie

By Claudia Assis
Forget about never-ending quarterly losses or share prices that peaked in the aughts. If you ask their fans, fuel-cell makers and their suppliers are turning a corner, much like solar stocks have.
Or, they're being propped up by short sellers betting they're overpriced and due for a steep correction. Depends on who you talk to.
This much, however, is indisputable: fuel-cell stocks are having a great week, a great month, and a great year.
For Richard Seamans, of Seamans Capital Management, companies in the fuel-cell sector are transitioning from money losers to money makers, and they're rewarding those who spotted this early.
Seamans Capital bought shares of Canadian fuel-cell maker Ballard Power Systems Inc. /quotes/zigman/42601/realtime CA:BLD last April. Several months later it added shares of Plug Power Inc. /quotes/zigman/5142101/delayed /quotes/nls/plug PLUG to its portfolio, back when Plug shares were hovering around $1. Ballard provides fuel cells for Plug Power's systems.
"I saw that they were similar to where solar was in 2011, 2012," he said — compellingly priced and poised for share-price increase. "We could see that clean energy had turned."
Costs, as with solar, are falling rapidly, and demand is on the rise as the energy they produce and store becomes more competitive with traditional energy sources. Seamans has also invested in Hydrogenics Corp. /quotes/zigman/49322/realtime CA:HYG and FuelCell Energy Inc. /quotes/zigman/67190/delayed /quotes/nls/fcel FCEL
It doesn't bother him that such companies have yet to report profits, or that they last reported a profit a long time ago. He bought mining stocks in the early 2000s, just before they took off, and claims his early investments in solar have also paid off. Fuel-cell makers and suppliers are poised to make the same upturn, he said.
The market seems to agree, at least for now.
Earlier this week, FuelCell hit multi-year highs and was the most heavily traded stock on the Nasdaq. Shares have been up 200% over the past 12 months. They've jumped 64% this week alone, adding another 7% on Friday.
A lot of that is thanks to Plug Power.
Plug Power has traded as low as 14 cents a share low within past 12 months. The share price has rocketed, however, following a relatively small deal with FedEx Corp. /quotes/zigman/254280/delayed /quotes/nls/fdx FDX that will use the company's fuel cells to extend the range of a few FedEx electric trucks. The other big boost came from a contract with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. /quotes/zigman/245476/delayed /quotes/nls/wmt WMT that will put Plug Power fuel cells in forklifts at six of the retailer's distribution centers.
For the week, Plug Power shares have gained 68%, Ballard shares are up 41%, and Hydrogenics shares are up nearly 6%.
They've been very poor performers in the past, said David Schoenwald, a portfolio manager with the New Alternatives Fund. The fund has invested in FuelCell Energy Inc. since 1992, when it went public and was then called Energy Research Corp.
The company was profitable once upon a time (its website claims it was the first stationary fuel cell manufacturer to generate a quarterly gross profit), but hasn't been for at least five years.
Why hang on to FuelCell stock? "It has great promise," Schoenwald said. "It can produce energy efficiently, cleanly, and reliably." He also says its technology can be disruptive.
Still, FuelCell's recent gains confound him. "I wouldn't be adding at this level," he said.
Again, the word of the day is promise. Analysts at Cowen & Co. said this week they expect Plug Power to amass more contracts with current customers, and there's potential expand to Europe. That would also lift Ballard, a Plug Power supplier, and the same tide could lift FuelCell Energy and others.
Plug Power said Thursday it had priced a $22.4 million stock offering. Shares were off nearly 7% earlier, although they recovered some ground.
Cowen & Co. is the deal's sole underwriter. Net proceeds of about $21.5 million will be used as working capital and other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, the Latham, N.Y., company said.
Plug Power shares have gained about 4,600% in the past 12 months. It's set to report fourth-quarter results March 13. Analysts polled by FactSet are looking for a loss of 8 cents a share, narrowing a 22-cent per-share loss a year earlier. Sales are seen coming in at $7.40 million, up from $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

AC Milan star Mattia De Sciglio is the most improved player in European football, according to the percentage increase in his transfer market value.
The Italian under-21 international has seen his transfer asking price rise by almost 6000 per cent over the past 18 months - the biggest value rise in one of Europe's top five leagues.
Using information from transfermrkt.co.uk, GMS has put together a top 10 containing the most improved players over the last year and a half based solely on the increase in their market value and their percentage rise.
We're basing the 10 contenders here on the biggest rise in the percentage of their value. We've also included their market value in 2012, and their market value now in 2013 - with the percentage taken from the difference between the two.
So while the likes of Edinson Cavani and Radamel Falcao have seen their transfer valuations rise by upwards of £25m over the past 18 months, they don't make the cut because their overall improvement in terms of percentage is much less.
Just for comparison and clarity - Cavani has seen his value increase by 124 percent, from £21.5m in January 2012 to £48.5m in June 2013.
That's a significant improvement, but it doesn't compare to someone like De Sciglio. His value has jumped from £125,000 in January 2012 to almost £8m in June 2013 - a massive rise of 5900 per cent. That's a much more impressive improvement, and reflects his rise from relative unknown to Serie 'A' starlet.
Anyway, lets dive into the top 10 - scroll through the count down by hitting the arrows at the top or bottom of the article!
