There is a pandemic of obesity and associated chronic diseases. Dietary calcium and vitamin D have many extra-skeletal roles in human health. In this review we have summarized the current understanding of their influence on human energy balance by examining the epidemiological, clinical, animal, cellular and molecular evidence. We opine that while calcium and vitamin D are functional nutrients in the battle against obesity, there is a need for prospective human trials to tilt the balance of evidence in favour of these nutrients.
Prevalence estimates of obesity are well over 50% in most WHO regions of the world, except South-East Asia. The observations that poor calcium intakes and inadequate vitamin D status are associated with chronic diseases like obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (T2DM), hence become increasingly important [
An inverse relationship between calcium intake and body weight was first noted by McCarron
A greater fat oxidation and increased faecal fat excretion through increased calcium intake will not result in an instant shedding of all excess body fat. So far reviews of RCTs show either no or a small augmentation of weight and fat loss (~0.7 to 0.9 kg) from calcium whether with or without vitamin D [
Animal and cellular studies strongly indicate a role for the vitamin in energy metabolism. The active form of the vitamin, 1,25(OH)2D, acts through a nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). This receptor is expressed in many cells not directly involved in calcium metabolism [
However 1,25(OH)2D can regulate a spectrum of cellular processes, from proliferation, differentiation and development to apoptosis and secretion [
There is a burgeoning literature on the potential role of vitamin D
The role of calcium and vitamin D in the regulation of energy balance has entered an exciting phase of research. The area receives inputs from epidemiology and clinical nutrition, as well as cellular and molecular research. A majority of the human evidence to date was designed with bone health in mind, and the optimal cut-off to determine vitamin D adequacy is still in discussion. It is our view that both calcium and vitamin D are functional nutrients in the battle against obesity. The drive to tilt the balance of evidence needs to continue, so expert committees acknowledge the extra skeletal effects of these nutrients.
The authors thank the reviewers for their insightful comments.
The authors declare no conflict of interest.
Mario J Soares generated the idea and wrote the first draft, Kaveri Pathak and Emily K Calton reviewed the literature and co-wrote the manuscript.

Walk This Way by Aerosmith Songfacts
This song is about a promiscuous cheerleader who leads a schoolboy through his first sexual experience. It's an extremely sexual song that played perfectly to Aerosmith's young male fanbase while being ambiguous enough to get airplay. Lead singer Steven Tyler, who wrote the lyrics, said, "'Walk This Way' came out all at once. If you listen to the words, they're all really filthy. If you listen closely you'll hear that I disguised it quite cleverly." (Here's that full
interview with Steven Tyler
"Walk This Way" is the title of Aerosmith's 1999 autobiography. In the book, Steven Tyler deconstructs the lyrics to this song. Here's the breakdown:
"Backstroke Lover" is our hero masturbating. His father catches him, and explains that he will someday experience the real thing. One day, he encounters the cheerleader along with "her sister and her cousin," and has a glorious sexual experience (Tyler cops to fantasies about two women at once, which is where this came from).
The "walk this way" line is the experienced girl showing the young man where to put his finger - showing him how to walk. Inspiration came from make-out parties where this kind of thing could happen.
Tyler points out that while the lyrics are sexually charged, it is the girl who is in control.
Aerosmith wasn't well known when this came out, and the song didn't chart when it was first released in September 1975. A year later, after their album
took off, the single was reissued and became a hit. They re-released "
Dream On
" the next year.
Joe Perry came up with the guitar riff for this song and the band developed the track, but four days later (an eternity in their recording schedule at the time) Steven Tyler still didn't have any words for the song. With no lyrics forthcoming, they considered dumping the track, but inspiration struck when the band (minus Tyler and Perry) took a break and went for a walk around New York City, where they were recording.
The movie
Young Frankenstein
was playing in Times Square, so they went to see it. The film is a comedy starring Gene Wilder, and there is a famous scene in the movie where Igor (Marty Feldman) tells Dr. Frankenstein to "Walk This Way," meaning to follow him. Dr. Frankenstein imitates Igor's walk, which the band thought was hilarious. When they saw Tyler the next day, they informed him that the title of the song would be "Walk This Way."
Tyler, however, tells a different story regarding the inspiration for the title. He told our writer Bruce Pollock: "The song title evolved from watching
The Three Stooges
on TV. They walked this way and that."
When Steven Tyler finally came up with lyrics for this song, he entered the studio to record it and realized he left the lyrics in the cab. His incredulous bandmates thought he was just stalling, and they got in another of their many fights. Tyler walked to the stairwell, let out a primal scream, and wrote new lyrics on the wall, since he forgot to bring paper with him. The original lyrics he left in the cab were never recovered.
our interview with Joe Perry
, he explained that he came up with the famous guitar riff at a soundcheck in Hawaii. It was inspired by the New Orleans funk band The Meters, and it all came together when drummer Joey Kramer, joined in. Said Perry: "I just kind of let go and this riff started coming out of the left hand and the right hand, and then it needed a bridge, and I just kind of danced around on the fretboard a little bit, and before I knew it, I had the guts of the song. It had that kind of funk thing to it."
Joe Perry used a talkbox during the chorus. This was the first time the device was used on a hit song. The talkbox allows a guitarist to make strange vocal sounds by "talking" into a vinyl tube attached to the unit, which is hooked up to the output of the guitar amp. Perry also used a talkbox on "Sweet Emotion."
This became one of the first mainstream rap hits when it was covered by Run-D.M.C. in 1986. Steven Tyler and Joe Perry performed this with the rap trio, and it became Run-D.M.C.'s first hit, going to US #4. This collaboration led to many more among prominent rappers and rock musicians, including "
Bring The Noise
" by Public Enemy and Anthrax, and "Encore" by Jay-Z and Linkin Park.
DJs often ripped the labels off their records so no one would know what beats they were using when they performed. Jam Master Jay got one of these records from another DJ, which turned out to be an Aerosmith album. He was working on sampling the opening break when producer Rick Rubin heard it and explained it was a famous rock song. This gave Rubin the idea to have Run-D.M.C. cover the song. The band didn't like the idea of rapping Aerosmith's lyrics, with DMC explaining in
Rolling Stone
(October 15, 2009), "We said, this is hillbilly gibberish, this is bulls--t." With some help from Run's brother Russell Simmons, Rubin convinced them to do it. He grew up in the suburbs listening to groups like Aerosmith, and knew it would be a great way for the group to crossover to a white audience.
The Run-D.M.C. video is the first that Tyler and Perry appeared in. It was the first time many young Aerosmith fans saw what they looked like. Aerosmith would use MTV to expand their audience for the rest of their career, making videos for most of their singles, starting with "
Dude (Looks Like A Lady)
" in 1988, which won two MTV Video Music Awards.
The first video Aerosmith made was for their 1982 song "Lightning Strikes," but MTV passed on that one (here it is
on YouTube
). Joe Perry had left the band at that point.
The Run-D.M.C. cover launched Aerosmith's comeback. They were in drug rehab when it came out, but sobered up and released
Permanent Vacation
in 1987, which gave them a string of hits, their first since "
Come Together
" in 1978. The collaboration also boosted the band's profile in Europe, where Run-D.M.C. was huge.
This was used in an early episode of
The Simpsons
where the band performed the song at Moe's Tavern and let Moe sing along. Aerosmith was one of the first musical guest stars on the show; the episode aired November 21, 1991 and was called "Flaming Moe."
The city of Boston used this in a 1999 publicity campaign to cut back on jaywalking. They used it in commercials encouraging people to use crosswalks.
*NSYNC, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, and Nelly all sang on this with Aerosmith at the 2001 Super Bowl halftime show. The lines "I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder" and "You ain't seen nothin' til you're down on a muffin" seemed a little more interesting with Britney Spears performing.
On the "Rock and Roller Coaster" at Disney's MGM Studios, a virtual Aerosmith gives an introduction before you get on, Aerosmith songs play throughout the ride. When the ride opened, this was the only song that played, which may have instilled a deep hatred of the song among the Disney employees working the roller coaster. This ride is highly recommended by the Songfacts staff.
The then two leading British female pop bands Girls Aloud and Sugababes produced a cover version of this for the official single for the 2007 Comic Relief fundraiser. Their rendition reached #1 in the UK but the following year was voted runner-up in a poll by
Total Guitar
magazine to find out the worst cover of all time. Celine Dion's version of AC/DC's "
You Shook Me All Night Long
" came top of the list.
Steven Tyler told
Rolling Stone
magazine, April 15, 2004: "The Yardbirds' music is a gold mine waiting to be stumbled upon. Aerosmith did, because we grew up in that era. The riff in 'Walk This Way' is just us trying to explore the blues in the Yardbirds model."

This song, for one, didn't use a talk box.
Even if it did, it would be nowhere near the first hit using one.
Steve - South Central, Fl
Knowing someone who helped work on the album many moons ago, I can tell you that Joe didn't write the riff to Walk This Way. What is more, he didn't play the solo either. Word was that the record executives at Columbia were attempting to build America's answer to the Rolling Stones but the boys from Boston didn't necessarily have the chops so help was summoned at times.
Rockheadz - Scarsdale, Ny
Another case of Aerosmith didn't write this killer song but they get credit on the album just the same. One of the industries best kept secrets. Not forever though.
Robert - Waltham, Ma
By Joe? Please! Don't be so naive. These guys look rally cool, however, they sell records by having real songwriters and true musicians contribute to the facade.
Randy C. - Yonkers, Ny
Zack, VT, the guitar lick in this song is not even close to John's lick for Day Tripper. You may want to visit you ENT specialist. Ricky, CA
Richard - Tustin, Ca
When I rode rockn rollercoaster, "dude looks like a lady" was playing.
Phil - Leesburg, Fl
wtf theres a talk box in this? no......akward.
Nick - Seattle, Albania
This was the first Aerosmith song I learned all the words to and it took me a while to get the meanings of the lyrics I was singing. Amazing song none-the-less :D Though it does make me mad I waited 20 minutes for the video on this page to load just to see an Aerosmith album cover and hear the music playing, rather than the actual music video. -.-
Katie - Reno, Nv
This was the first Aerosmith song I'd ever heard. I heard it in that Simpsons episode with Flaming Moes. I didn't really get to them until I got Guitar Hero Aerosmith.I like when they do that whole rap/rock thing like in Sweet Emotion also. It really helped bridge that gap between rock and rap, or as I like to call it, poop. But of course that turned out to be a big mistake. Just ask 500 kids what their favorite band is and you'll see.
Homer - Springfield, Ky
Filthy lyrics, and, oh yeah, it freakin' rocks!
Oldpink - New Castle, In
ain't seen nothin till your down on a muffin. LMFAO!!!!
I think the run DMc version is almost better than the original.
T.j. - Southern Shores,
An American classic, and a highschool tradition
Caitlin - Upper Township, Nj
I still am amazed that after all these years that the censors have not picked up that some of the dirtiest lines (especially from 30 years ago) ever recorded are still being played at family type events-SuperBowl halftime show, 4th of July with the Boston pops, etc. Much of today's music doesn't get played at special events because they just come out and use the words. Stevie Tyler disguised what he was singing about in a way that mainstream America are too dumb to figure out.
Jay - Boston, Ma
Markus - this is so weird. I came on here for info on Walk this Way after it played on iPod and Day Tripper was playing when I read your post about it not sounding like Day Tripper. Not as weird as the inch-long nose hair I pulled out shortly before that, though :-D
Mo - Austin, Tx
Gordo - I can confirm your "Revolution X" theme idea. We have that game at an arcade here.
Trogbob - San Diego, Ca
I was raised with this song!
J.r. - No Where, Oh
Great combination of rock and rap when combined with run DMC.
Julie - Taylor, Tx
There are single and album versions of this song. Easiest way to tell the difference is, for the single version, the first chorus is cut short....goes right into "Just gimme a kiss!" after two choruses.
The riff to Walk This Way doesn't sound anything like Day Tripper IMO.
Different key (E vs B) and completely different sequence of notes.
Markus - La, Ca
Best ever Super Bowl halftime show. Bar none.
Dylan - Port Orange, Fl
best hi hat pump beat ever and the guitar to go along with it. great song
Copperhed - Jupiter, Fl
i agree on the other good tracks on Toys. You See Me Crying is great as well.
Brian - Altoona, Pa
all I know is that this is a VERY dirty song...and I'm going into high school next year...oh boy, it's gonna be scary
Joey - Nowhere Land, Ca
this song is the story of my life. i was a loser in high school, and i did loose my vplates to the hottie next door, and i've had the same experience in the school gym lockers
Haggai - Hobart, Australia
I thought all the hoopla over Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction was ironic considering that this song was sung at the Super Bowl halftime show just a year or two previous.
Fyodor - Denver, Co
Walk this way is probably one of the funkiest rock songs ever. Joe Perry was really into James Brown and wanted to write something like his style. Aerosmith is my favorite band of all time, and I love the track, but I'm a sucker for the lesser known tracks on Toys In The Attic such as Uncle Salty, No More No More, and Adam's Apple. But how can I not mention that the same album also includes Big Ten Inch Record an Sweet Emotion, my favorite song ever? And excuse me Dan from NH, Aerosmith is not a take on the Rolling Stones. I may be crazy but if you take Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger and stand them next to each other, then or now, they look nothing alike. In my opinion, mind you.
Gordon - Lake Havasu City, Az
He can make his eyes vibrate? I didn't know that was possible!!! Hahaha!!!
Stefanie - Rock Hill, Sc
Weird fact- Tom can make his eyes vibrate.
Novella - Houston, Tx
No one can cover this true classic as it orignally came out. Run DMC and Aerosmith doing this song together is great. It eliminates the boundries of not only rock and roll, but rap also. Breaking down the walls as the music video suggested. The cover Macy Gray did on this song was definately not her best work. The song doesn't sound right being sung by a girl...not at all.
Donni - Somewhere, Wa
this is not the song featured on the Rockin' Roller Coaster, he true song is sweet emotion. get your facts right.
Yikhkj - Bnb, Ak
I graduated from Roosevelt H.S. in Yonkers about 4 years after Steve attended there. Working in the Bronxville Movie theater when we were showing Sgt. Peppers Loney Hearts Club Band - the only bearable part being Come Together performed by Aerosmith, Steve's mother and father came to a screening. She was wearing a gold necklace with the "A" with wings logo. I commented on the necklace and said "Oh, are you fan?" She smiled and said "Mommy". I asked her if this song was about his days at Roosevelt. She responded "So Steven tells me." I never looked at the locker room quite the same way.
Charles - Bronxville, Ny
I think this song was used on an Arcade game called "Revolution X" as the end theme.
Gordo - Lab City, Canada
One of the greatest songs by America's greatest Rock bands! The riff is just so classic! When you hear the drum intro, you know its the song, and then the riff comes in. Awesome stuff!
Rikki - Ashtabula, Oh
Aerosmith is a complete take on the Rollin Stones. If you think about it Steven Tyler=Mick Jagger, Joe Perry=Keith Richards, Tom Hamilton=Bill Wyman, Brad Whitford=Brian Jones, Mick Taylor, and Ron Wood, and Joey Kramer=Charlie Watts.
Dan - Lee, Nh
the first song i remember ever been used as a sample (run dmc)
Marlow - Perth, Australia
Wonderful song - one of my all time favorites. It's sampled in the movie "The Replacements". ANyone know who does the cover?
Keith - Millbrae, Ca
My favourite song. Period.
Imran - Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
This song literally changed my life. Whenever I hear that riff I just go nuts. Also, it is very cool that Aerosmith rocked harder than ever after getting sober.
Melissa - Duluth, Mn
This was #336 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 greatest songs ever.
Ross - Independence, Mo
one of the top 15 or 20 riffs of all time
Matt - Millbrae, Ca
I saw the finalists performing this on "American Idol"... and the girls singing the line "you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin." It was so hilarious! (unintentionally, I'm sure)
Shawna - Phoenix, Az
I think the funniest part of this song is the first line. "backstroke lover alwats hiding neath the covers". It's talking about masturbation, this song is amazing and is hysterical
Jimmu - Vineland, Nj
the main riff for this is the same as Day Tripper by the Beatles
Zack - Hinesburg, Vt
The lyrics didn't register with my when I was a college kid in the '70s, but how on earth did they ever get this song on the radio? The lyrics are very raunchy by 1970s standards. Did they play an edited version on the air? This is definitely something my roommate and I would have snickered at if we had noticed.
Karl - Ferndale, Wa
This was definitely not the first hit song to use a talkbox, as stated above. Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do," which came out in 1973, used a talkbox extensively during the solo.
Sam - Champaign, Il
As I once heard a rock singer say, "This is a rock-n-roll song to the N-th degree!" I saw Aerosmith half-a-dozen times in the 1990s, and quite a few other acts both big and small time, some on their way up and some on their way down, and for my money Aerosmith put on the best show. You always got your money's worth from the (former) Toxic Twins and the rest of the band.
Shell - Riverdale, Ga
Appeared in Season 1 Episode 17 of Cold Case on CBS. The name of the episode is "The Lost Soul of Herman Lester."
Jonathan - Natchitoches, La
The "black chick" is Macy Gray. It is quite possibly the most horrible cover I have ever heard. She disgraces this classic.
Kenneth - New York, Ny
have any of you guys (or girls) seen that wierd commercial with the black chick in a blue suit singing kareoki (i don't know how to spell that, i know) disco cover of walk this way and shes dancing and its very creapy and its for a mp3 player?
Charlie - Thomaston, Dc
right on for the great guitar riff by joe perry!
Madison - Atlanta, Ga
What a great song!!! Gets me rocking out everytime. Another great guitar riff by Joe Perry!!!
Brandon - Amherst, Canada
great song!!!add some more damn comments . this song is so good it should have 1,000!
Joe - Oshawa, Canada
I can't believe that there aren't any comments for this great american classic. This is one the greatest songs of all time. God Bless Aerosmith!!

Lorne Greene
Original name: Lyon Green
Feb. 12, 1915
Ottawa Municipality
Ontario, Canada
Sep. 11, 1987
Santa Monica
Los Angeles County
California, USA
Actor. He is most remembered for his role as 'Ben Cartwright' on the 1960s television western series "Bonanza," and as 'Commander Adama' in the 1970s television science fiction series "Battlestar Galactica." Born in Ottawa, Canada, he began his career while attending Canada's Queen's University, and after his graduation, started work in radio broadcasting. His deep, calm, reassuringly strong voice got him started in his film career as the voice of the narrator in several war films, including "Wings of Youth" (1940), "Front of Steel" (1940), and "War Clouds in the Pacific" (1941). During World War II, he made a number of films for the Canadian public, about the actions of the Canadian military during that war, and narrating several numerous other war films. Leaving Canada in the early 1950s for Hollywood, he quickly became a familiar actor in television, radio, and films. In the mid 1960s, his song, "Ringo" in which he speaks, not sings, the words, hit the top of the record list. After playing the voice of 'Big Brother' in the CBS Production of "Nineteen Eighty Four," he was offered the role of 'Ben Cartwright' in the television series, "Bonanza", a role that would make him a star. "Bonanza" ran from 1959 to 1972, one of the longest series in television. From 1963 to 1972, he co-hosted the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with Betty White on NBC-TV. He also had another television series hit in "Battlestar Galactia" which ran from 1978 to 1980. His last role was as General Sam Houston, in the television movie "Alamo: Thirteen Days to Glory" (1987). He had accepted the role of 'Ben Cartwright' in a television movie reprise of "Bonanza" but died before it could be filmed.

Through the IDE, it is only possible to import / export the Code Style settings (Code Editor category of the Preferences). However, you could extract the settings from the JDeveloper user settings directory and copy them on every developer workstation.
Unless you have set the JDEV_USER_DIR and JDEV_USER_HOME environment variables, those settings are located here on a Windows machine:

Under the Clean Water Act, fines for simple negligence would be $1,100 for every barrel spilled, but as much as $4,300 per barrel if a company is found to have been grossly negligent. If the Justice Department has its way, BP could be on the hook for around $18 billion in fines stemming from this piece of the trial … and things aren't looking so hot for BP based on testimony so far.
According to James Dupree — BP's manager in charge of controlling the Macondo blowout — many on the team were never trained to permanently plug a ruptured oil well, and the British company was not fully prepared for such an enormous oil spill. Dupree was directly quoted as saying under oath, "I had no formal training in well-kill operations."
Additionally, prosecutors provided evidence that BP lied about its flow rate estimate of a 5,000 barrels per day — which was much lower than what some internal models were telling BP engineers. According to emails and other internal documents, several BP engineers predicted that the flow rate could have been as high as 100,000 barrels per day.
Meanwhile, both Halliburton (HAL) and Transocean (RIG) — contractors on the project — have also voiced their opinion and provided evidence that BP has lied about the flow rate and delayed the final capping of the well.
The Saga Continues for BP Stock
While BP scored a major victory with the settlement claims injunction, the big battles are still being fought, and things don't look good on that end. If the company is found grossly negligent in its duties to cap the spill, BP stock could be put in a hurt locker thanks to massive fines … not to mention any other lawsuit that might arise from that fact. In fact, some analysts still predict that BP will have to sell off some assets to continue paying for the legal overhang and potential claims.
Despite its rising share price since 2010, I still can't get behind BP stock as an investment. All oil and natural gas companies have legal issues from one time or another, but the continued Macondo saga isn't good. BP continues to be forced to focus solely on this spill, while other firms — such as ConocoPhillips (COP) or Hess (HES) — continue to drive production gains and profits.
There are several large energy firms that are worth an investment. Right now, BP isn't one of them.
As of this writing, Aaron Levitt did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Customs regarding adoptions c1890
My grandmother, Maria Rosa Agostino was adopted in Gioiosa Jonica by the Simeri family. I see that on both her marriage certificate and her Ellis Island manifest, she is listed as Maria Rosa Prudente. Her marriage certificate lists no parents. I understand that an adopted child did not take on the last name of the new parents. My main question is who's surname would she have, the father's or the mother's, or, could Prudente be a name given to an illegitimate child. I know that they were sometimes given names with a stigma attached.
Itaslian women retain their identity which they obtain from their biological father. A womans' children assume the identity of the father but the woman always retains her maiden name. Now if you go to the home page of this very website you will see a discussion of TRACING ITALIAN LINEAGE OF ADOPTEES AND ACESTORS....... start at the top and scroll down until you see this heading. At the end of the first paragraph are >>> click on these for furhter discussion on adopting in Italy both past and present.
In this instant case Prudente would appear to be her biologicval fathers surname. Peter
In this instant case Prudente would appear to be her biologicval fathers surname. Peter
If you go to the website www.paginebianche.it and p[ut in the surname PRUDENTE in the first line and RC (prov. of Reggio Calabria)) in the third line and click CERCA two postings will emerge. Two persons in the province surnamed Prudente by name,address and telephone number. I am furnishing you with this information should you lecet to communicate with them to request possible information about your grandmoithers background. Peter

Requests for Program Proposals
"Time" by David Williams '14, French Studies in Paris
Interested in Leading a Carleton Seminar in 2018-2019?
The Off-Campus Studies Committee would like to work with faculty who wish to propose off-campus seminars or winter break trips for the academic year 2018-2019. Proposals should come from full-time faculty members who have the support of their departments and continuing contracts with the College through the year when the programs are offered.
The OCS Committee is charged with approving a well-balanced calendar – one that offers a diverse portfolio of programs, is thoughtfully distributed among Carleton's three terms, and accommodates new programs alongside established off-campus seminars. Please read the questions on the attached proposal forms with care, giving us the most complete answers you can offer at this point in your planning. We encourage those proposing new programs to consider the student populations typically under-represented in Carleton off-campus study: athletes, male students, and science majors.
Please keep in mind that students who participate in summer seminars are required to take the winter or spring term off. For faculty directors, an OCS seminar term always counts as a two-course load. Depending on the program's structure and pedagogy, the faculty director may choose to teach one, two, or all courses within the seminar. These options can be discussed with OCS staff during the seminar-planning process.
If you are interested in proposing an off-campus seminar for 2018-2019, please complete one of the following forms, and return it to Off-Campus Studies, Leighton 119, no later than Friday, January 13, 2017.
New Program Proposal 2018-19
For faculty proposing to lead a new OCS program
Recurring Program Proposal 2018-19
For faculty seeking to lead an established OCS program
Please discuss your plans with your department colleagues and chair. Provide your department chair with a copy of the completed proposal, and ask them to complete the Chair Endorsement Form. Upon receipt of these materials, the Committee will get back to you with questions and/or directions to complete the program proposal process.
Members of the Committee welcome questions on any part of this process.

New market values in the Premier League
Many market values have been altered after the first successful market value evaluation through our own Transfermarkt.co.uk market value forum. Thanks to everyone who participated in this and a special thank you to users ManUtd78 and ironhammer for the calculations of the new values!
So who are the big winners and the big losers?
Definitely amongst the winners is Newcastle´s new hitman Papiss Demba Cisse! With his immediate impact in the premiership he climbed an impressive £4.5 million from £12 million to now £16.5 million.
Same goes for Gareth Bale and Ramires! While Chelsea´s Ramires mad a jump from £22 million to £26.5 million, Spurs winger Bale even hit £35 million compared to his former £31 million.
Severe injuries are taking their toll. That´s why Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic is going down hard from £31 million all the way to £22.5 million, while Blues midfielder Michael Essien has now only £21 million to show for as opposed to his former £29 million.

Who's the Michigan telemarketer been boning? His $6,500 RealDoll sex doll, Sidore. Tragically, after years of pressing synthetic skin to human skin, Sidore started to fall apart. So what did Dave, who calls himself a "doll husband," do? Take her out with the garbage? No. He had her "reincarnated." He returned Sidore to her original makers and had them make an exact duplicate of her. Now, the two are back to canoodling on the sofa and having sex on a regular basis. (Want to know how they do it?

KRT5 gene
keratin 5
The KRT5 gene provides instructions for making a protein called keratin 5. Keratins are a group of tough, fibrous proteins that form the structural framework of certain cells, particularly cells that make up the skin, hair, and nails. Keratin 5 is produced in cells called keratinocytes found in the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis).
Keratin 5 partners with a similar protein, keratin 14 (produced from the KRT14 gene), to form molecules called keratin intermediate filaments. These filaments assemble into strong networks that help attach keratinocytes together and anchor the epidermis to underlying layers of skin. The network of keratin intermediate filaments provides strength and resiliency to the skin and protects it from being damaged by friction and other everyday physical stresses.
Researchers believe that keratin 5 may also play a role in transporting melanosomes, which are cellular structures that produce a pigment called melanin. The transport of these structures into keratinocytes is important for normal skin coloration (pigmentation).
At least four mutations in the KRT5 gene have been found to cause Dowling-Degos disease. This condition is characterized by various skin abnormalities, particularly a lacy pattern of abnormally dark skin coloring (hyperpigmentation) that occurs most often in the body's folds and creases. Most of these mutations lead to the production of a keratin 5 protein that is abnormally small and nonfunctional or prevent any protein from being produced from the gene. A reduced amount of functional keratin 5 can impair the formation of keratin intermediate filaments. As a result, the organization of the epidermis is altered, leading to the development of different types of skin abnormalities. Additionally, a shortage of keratin 5 may disrupt the movement of pigment-carrying melanosomes into keratinocytes, where they are needed for normal skin pigmentation. This disruption of melanosome transport is thought to cause the pigmentation abnormalities seen in individuals with Dowling-Degos disease.
More than 100 mutations in the KRT5 gene have been identified in people with epidermolysis bullosa simplex, a condition that causes the skin to be very fragile and to blister easily. Most of these mutations alter single protein building blocks (amino acids) used to make keratin 5. The most severe form of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, the Dowling-Meara type, usually results from changes in regions of keratin 5 that are essential for the normal assembly of keratin intermediate filaments. Milder forms of the disorder, including the localized type (formerly called the Weber-Cockayne type) and a form known as the other generalized type (formerly called the Koebner type), are often caused by changes affecting less critical regions of the protein. Another form of the disorder called epidermis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation typically results from a particular KRT5 mutation. This mutation replaces the amino acid proline with the amino acid leucine at protein position 25 (written as Pro25Leu or P25L).
The KRT5 gene mutations responsible for epidermolysis bullosa simplex change the structure and function of keratin 5, preventing it from working effectively with keratin 14 and interfering with the assembly of the keratin intermediate filament network. Mutations that cause severe forms of the disorder severely disrupt the assembly of keratin intermediate filaments, while mutations that result in milder forms impair keratin filament assembly to a lesser degree. A disruption in this network makes keratinocytes fragile and prone to rupture. Minor trauma to the skin, such as rubbing or scratching, can cause these cells to break down, resulting in the formation of painful, fluid-filled blisters.

Long-serving former Australia captain Lucas Neill will not be part of the squad for the World Cup finals due to lack of playing time, coach Ange Postecoglou said on Tuesday.
The 36-year-old former Millwall, Blackburn and West Ham defender joined Watford in England's second tier in February but managed only a few minutes on the pitch before being loaned to Championship strugglers Doncaster in late March.
"In the end I just had to make a decision not so much about the recent history but the last six months in terms of form and fitness," Postecoglou said of Neill.
"There just wasn't enough evidence there for me to say he'd be able to hold up in a World Cup.
"It was both a combination of the lack of regular football and the little niggles he got that made the decision for me."
Under former coach Holger Osieck and Neill, Australia booked their ticket to Brazil after a stuttering last phase of Asian qualifying but were heavily criticised for their stodgy play.
With German Osieck sacked in October following back-to-back 6-0 friendly defeats to Brazil and France, his replacement Postecoglou has been tasked with rejuvenating a demoralised team in time for the finals, which start on June 12.
"I had a conversation with Lucas regarding the World Cup squad and obviously before I announced the 30-man squad next week I thought it was important for me to speak to him directly," Postecoglou said.
"I informed him that he hasn't made the 30, from my perspective paying due respect to the fact that he's been the captain for six years and the captain of the World Cup campaign so far.
"It was difficult, he's worked damn hard to get himself ready and available; he's shown an enormous determination to go to this World Cup.
"You can see why he's played for his country as many times as he has and why he was a leader, he's gone down fighting."
The 96-cap Neill, a veteran of Australia's 2006 and 2010 World Cup finals campaigns, had been without a team since leaving J-League side Omiya Ardija in November, finally signing for Watford before his loan spell at Doncaster.
"He was probably a little bit unlucky in a couple of the moves he made," the coach added.
"And certainly from my perspective, if post-Christmas, from January onwards, if he'd had four months of football under his belt, I guess a different decision would have been made."
Australia's fourth trip to the World Cup finals will be extremely challenging, having being grouped with Spain and the Netherlands, who fought out the 2010 final, as well as Chile.

Sydney is playing host to the Motor Show and that has ignited another round of vehicle marketing campaigns.
Marketing executives said the last quarter of the calendar year was the time when new ad campaigns were launched, in time for Christmas.
Volvo is now launching stage two of its "Bloody Volvo Driver" series.
The group said phase one of the campaign was tracking above target.
That phase was intended to disempower the "bloody Volvo driver" stigma simply by stealing the expression.
When the controversial campaign was launched Volvo's Australian directors said they had staked their jobs on the ads.
"Phase two turns the expression on its head by giving the expression entirely new and entirely positive meanings," Volvo Car Australia managing director Steve Blyth said.
"Three 30-second commercials and one 15-second commercial make up this phase, which began appearing on television from October 12."
Meanwhile, in conjunction with the Motor Show, M&C Saatchi has kicked off Audi's new ads.
The agency employed a professional bug wrangler to help shoot its latest spot for Audi that has been produced to run throughout the Rugby World Cup and the Motor Show.
As with Volvo, Audi's agency used the overseas concept of the campaign but adapted it for Australian audiences.
The TV commercial uses a caterpillar and a millipede, both flown in from north Queensland, to illustrate the power of Audi's unique multitronic technology which allegedly offers a smoother ride than conventional automatic transmission and is faster than manual transmission.
Audi Australia marketing manager Javier Degen said Audi was, as usual, striving to challenge convention.

Project Description2006 RADA
Multifamily / Merit
Located in a historic Washington, D.C., neighborhood where automobile showrooms were standard streetscape fixtures, Langston Lofts' scale, rhythm, and materiality put a contemporary spin on the area's industrial past. Our judges gave the project high marks for its "gorgeous detailing" and "highly articulated façade."
The sleek finished project belies the complex engineering challenge the architects had to overcome. The building site is atop two subway tunnels, posing an enormous structural problem, says principal in charge Robert M. Sponseller, AIA. The design team resolved the issue by building a light-gauge-steel structure on top of a deep-foundation concrete plinth, parking garage, and first-floor retail space.
Large glass openings and balconies of perforated industrial mesh maximize light penetration into the 45-foot-deep units. Inside the lofts, bedrooms are raised, removing impediments to light and creating views over the kitchen.

Product Reassembly Plan for Group 26
From GICL Wiki
Product Reassembly Plan
The process for reassembling the pressure washer is almost the same process as disassembling although it in reverse. If one can disassemble it, one can reassemble without much hassle.
Does your product run the same as before you dis-assembled it?
- After re-assembly the engine continues to move with hand cranking as it did when we received it. There are some minor issues which would prevent it from running at this time. Damage to several gaskets (which appeared to be aged to begin with) and a lack of oil which was removed and disposed of during dis-assembly. As well several hoses were misplaced. Getting the product into a working state should be as simple as adding new oil into it, new gaskets and replacement hoses.
What were the differences between the disassembly/reassembly processes?
- The disassembly/reassembly processes were mostly the same for our group. When the product was being disassembled, our members took precaution to write down the correct sequence of events if they made any mistakes so that others would not have the same problems.
- Almost the same set of tools was used during the reassembly process. The only tool that was not needed was the rubber mallet. The tools necessary are a basic metric socket set (only the 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, and 22mm sockets are needed), and open-end wrenches. The optional pair of pliers can also be used but the funnel is not needed any more to drain the oil from the engine.
- Our group was able to reassemble almost the entire product. The engine is reassembled and mounted back onto the frame. We are just missing a couple of hoses.
Are there any additional recommendations your group would make at the product level (operation, manufacturing, assembly, design, configuration, etc.)?
- One design change which would increase the life of the pressure washer would be to have any exposed metals either covered with plastic shielding, or coated with a highly durable paint. This would reduce rusting and other damage to the engine and washer in general, extending its operational lifetime. This would require a fairly minimal cost increase weighed against a good potential lengthening of the products life.
- During dis-assembly of the product, we noticed that several of the gaskets were in poor condition. A sturdier material for the gaskets may be in order, as well as a slight increase in the width of walls to better prevent them falling apart. Again this would increase costs slightly, but should also improve the functional life of the product.

I've been using XBMC for a while now and have 30+ TV series I've successfully scrapped, but I've just tried to import a new series and for the first time have run into some trouble.
I'm attempting to use TVDB and the series, Invader Zim, goes over two seasons with a total of 46 episodes.
When XBMC goes to scrape it I only end up with 32 episodes (none of which are even from the second season).

I note that a large number of episodes come up as:
DEBUG: VIDEO::CVideoInfoScanner::OnProcessSeriesFolder - no match for show: 'Invader ZIM', season: 2, episode: 7, airdate: '01/01/1601', title: ''
Yet, there clearly is a match on TVDB: http://thetvdb.com/?tab=episode&seriesid...2925&lid=7
I've attempted the import in both DVD Order and Aired Order within the TVDB addon configuration window, both giving identical results.
I really don't care what order it is in, just as long as all the episodes are displayed.
I note that the DVD order on TVDB is in a weird x.y format (eg: DVD Episode # 3.2), I don't know if that's related: http://thetvdb.com/index.php?tab=season&...&order=dvd
Anyone got any thoughts as to what the problem might be?

Doxa Bridge in Paris
Paris-based architecture firm Atelier Zündel Cristea (AZC) has proposed an unusual pedestrian bridge on the Seine that dares us to reconsider our public behavior and our conventions for moving through urban terrain. Why walk (snooze) when you can bounce?
Designed for the competition brief, A Bridge in Paris, AZC's uncanny renderings show three inflatable donuts that are nearly 100 feet in diameter, which span the river and carry leaping passengers on trampoline-like netting: "Our intention is to invite its visitors and inhabitants to engage on a newer and more playful path…An inflatable bridge equipped with giant trampolines, dedicated to the joyful release from gravity as one bounces above the river." 1

Enver Masud: 9/11, Waterboarding, a Confession and the Iraq War
URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62sWJKloSbY
Enver Masud was one of the speakers at a "Demand Accountability for Torture" rally, on June 25, 2009, in John Marshall Park, in Washington, D.C. He questioned how Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was" waterboarded 183 times by the CIA," and then confessed to being the "mastermind of 9/11," can get a "fair trial"in this country. Mr. Masud connected the dots between 9/11, the waterboarding of a detainee, a so-called "confession," and the Iraq War. Mr. Masud is the founder and CEO of "The Wisdom Fund" and the author of "The War on Islam." See, http://twf.org/ For more on waterboarding, go to:

This Friday, India's democracy will be under fire in the movie Satyagraha. In the upcoming film, Amitabh Bachchan is ready to start a movement against corruption. Are you ready to join this movement this weekend?
Satyagraha is political thriller directed by Prakash Jha and the movie is said to reflect the society and focus on the common man and highlight his aggression, struggle and demand for justice.
This multi-starrer movie features Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Amrita Rao and Manoj Bajpayee in the lead roles. The trailers of the movie look pretty intense.
Quite a few scenes from the movie might remind the audience of the Anna Hazare movement that took place in 2011. Although the movie has been inspired by current situations, Jha made it clear to us that Satyagraha is not based on any true story. Jha tells us that Big B does not play the role of the social activist Anna Hazare in Satyagraha.
The movie which is set to release on August 30 will mark another political thriller from Prakash Jha. The director is known for such movies. He also tells us that he is not creating any social message through this movie. Satyagraha will have an uprising of the middle class. Let us wait and watch if this movie brings any changes in the society.
Have a look at the slide show for the preview of Satygraha.
Satyagraha portrays the uprising of the middle class against an unjust system. It is the story of a dynamic and ambitious young man who joins hands with with an idealistic old man and together they ignite people. We may see people's raw anger unleashed in this movie.
Solo Release
Satyagraha will be the only Bollywood movie releasing on August 30. So this gives it a better option at the Box-Office.
Big B
Amitabh Bachachan plays the role of Dwarka Anand. He is a firm believer of truth who goes on indefinite hunger strike in the Gandhian way to demand justice.
Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor is a journalist named Yasmin Ahmed in the movie. She is a strong and independent television reporter who digs deep into situations.
Ajay Devgn
Ajay Devgn is Manav Raghvendra in Satyagraha. He is a brilliant telecommunication czar who uses the ways of the world to get what he wants.
Arjun Rampal
Arjun Rampal plays the role of Arjun. He is a strong man who is committed to become a politician.
Manoj Bajpai
Manoj Bajpai is a young politician named Balram Singh in the film. He uses every means to break the system. He is the real threat to democracy.
Amrita Rao
Amrita Rao plays the role of Sumitra and she is Amitabh Bachchan's daughter-in-law in Satyagraha.
Ajay- Kareena
The movie portrays a strong connect between Kareena Kapoor and Ajay Devgn. However, when the two clash on ideologies they break up and reunite when Ajay comes back to his principles.
Satyagraha was mainly shot in Bhopal. The movie has been produced by UTV Motion Pictures and it has reportedly been made on a budget of Rs.50 crore.
