CLOSE CALL: After a hectic schedule for her high-powered role as a litigator in the TV show "Damages," Glenn Close kicked back at the Giorgio Armani Privé couture show Monday, where guests included Prince Albert of Monaco's girlfriend, the swimmer Charlene Wittstock and actress Claudia Cardinale.
"I feel like I've just been let out of school," Close said. "I'm ready to party." Wearing the same black and white Armani outfit as when "101 Dalmatians" premiered in 1996, Close said she's been going back to her closet and having items retouched by the label. Top model Eugenia Silva said she's just joined a cast of models, including Irina Lazareanu and Karen Elson, in a Michael Thompson shoot for Tiffany's next campaign. "I loved doing it. Tiffany's is so New York," Silva said, adding she next hopes to start an acting career.
British actress Kirsten Lea, meanwhile, said she's relishing being showered with fashion freebies thanks to her upcoming role in the romantic comedy "Fashionistas,' directed by Donald Petrie of "How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days" fame.
"It's 'The Devil Wears Prada' meets 'The Secret of My Success,'" said Lea, adding the movie, due to start shooting in New York this spring, has caught the attention of labels like Jimmy Choo for product placement opportunities.
Lea is in Paris for fittings at Armani and Dior for the BAFTA awards while she hopes "The Soloist," her Hollywood debut, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx, will be an Oscar contender next year.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Is Investigating The Board Of Directors Of Titanium Metals Corporation (TIE) For Potential Breaches Of Fiduciary Duties
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities firm headquartered in New York City, is investigating the Board of Directors of Titanium Metals Corporation ("Titanium" or the "Company") (NYSE: TIE) for potential breaches of fiduciary duties related to the sale of the Company to Precision Castparts Corp. ("Precision") (NYSE: PCP). Under the terms of the proposed transaction, Titanium's stockholders will receive $16.50 per each share of Titanium, while according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one financial analyst has set a price target of $20 for Titanium. The proposed transaction is structured as a tender offer and may be effectuated without a shareholder vote. The time is of the essence since the tender offer is to expire on December 19, 2012.
Furthermore, on November 20, 2012, the Company filed a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the S.E.C., which recommends that Titanium's shareholders tender their shares to Precision without adequate disclosure of all material information.
Request more information now by clicking here: www.faruqilaw.com/TIE . There is no cost or obligation to you.
The investigation focuses on whether Titanium's Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders by failing to conduct an adequate and fair sales process prior to agreeing to this proposed transaction, whether and by how much this proposed transaction undervalues the Company to the detriment of Titanium's shareholders.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP is a national law firm which represents investors and individuals in class action litigation. The firm is focused on providing exemplary legal services in complex litigation in the areas of securities, shareholder, antitrust and consumer litigation, throughout all phases of litigation.

February 2005 Announcements
Call for Nominations: APA Distinguished Science Awards
The APA Board of Scientific Affairs (BSA) invites nominations for its ongoing awards program. Awards are given in three categories:
The Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award is presented to individuals who have made distinguished theoretical or empirical contributions to basic research in psychology.
The Distinguished Scientific Award for the Applications of Psychology is given to individuals who have made exceptional theoretical or empirical advances in psychology leading to the understanding or amelioration of important practical problems.
To submit a nomination for the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award and the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award for the Applications of Psychology, you should provide a letter of nomination; the nominee's current vita with list of publications; the names and addresses of several scientists who are familiar with the nominee's work; and a list of ten most significant and representative publications, and at least five reprints representative of the nominee's contribution (reprints, preferably in electronic form).
The Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology is awarded to outstanding young psychologists who are 9 years or less post-PhD (1996 or later). The 2006 Early Career Awards will be given in five areas:
- animal learning and behavior, comparative
- psychopathology
- health
- developmental
- cognition/human learning
The categories should be interpreted broadly and are not meant to be exclusive; all areas of psychology are of sufficient merit to be considered for awards.
To submit a nomination for the Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology, you should provide a letter of nomination, the nominee's current vita with list of publications, and up to five representative reprints.
To obtain nomination forms and more information, you can go to the Science Directorate or you can contact Suzanne Wandersman, Science Directorate, American Psychological Association, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242; by phone, (202) 336-6000; by fax, (202) 336-5953; or by email.
The deadline for all award nominations is June 1, 2005
Advanced Statistical Training in Psychology (ASTP) Program Accepting Applications
The ASTP will be held at the University of Maryland July 9 – 17, 2005. Applications will be accepted until February 23, 2005. ASTP is an intensive, hands-on seminar in which students learn about psychological statistics and research methods in a dynamic setting that emphasizes the skills it takes to analyze and interpret real data. Much of the statistical instruction will be geared toward the use of computer-assisted statistical packages (SPSS). ASTP will target students from traditionally underrepresented groups in psychology. The definition of underrepresented groups for this program is extremely broad. The seminar will undoubtedly include students who are members of ethnic minority groups, but it will also include first generation college students and students who have had to overcome other kinds of social, physical or economic barriers on the road to academic excellence.
Call for Nominations: Meritorious Research Service Commendation
The APA Board of Scientific Affairs (BSA) is soliciting nominations for the Meritorious Research Service Commendation. This commendation recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to psychological science through their service as employees of the federal government or other organizations. Contributions are defined according to service to the field that directly or indirectly advances opportunities and resources for psychological science. This may include staff at federal or non-federal research funding, regulatory or other agencies. Nominees may be active or retired but ordinarily will have a minimum of 10 years of such service. The individual's personal scholarly achievements (i.e., research, teaching, and writing) are not considered in the selection process independent of their service contributions.
To submit a nomination provide the following:
- A letter of nomination that describes and supports the individual's contributions (e.g., nature of the individual's service to psychological science, positions held, program development activities). The nomination letters should be no more than two pages long.
- A curriculum vita
- Three letters of support from scientists, at least two from outside the nominee's organization
Deadline for submitting nominations is March 1, 2005. Please send nominations to Suzanne Wandersman via email. For a list of past recipients, visit Meritorious Award.
2005 Academic Career Workshops
The Science Directorate's Academic Career Workshops have become an integral part of many scientific society meetings. We continue to receive rave review from attendees. The purpose of these workshops is to introduce graduate and postdoctoral students to the nuts and bolts of pursuing an academic career. Topics range from a description of variations in the academic culture across institutions to the pragmatics of the recruiting and hiring process.
See the career website for the 2005 Academic Career Workshop schedule. If you are interested in additional information about the workshops, such as co-hosting or attending one, please contact Deborah McCall by phone at 202-218-3590 or via email.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Set dancing moves to Mondays
Thursday, October 31, 2013
DURHAM — Seacoast Set Dancers' classes are moving! In an attempt to find a better night to dance that doesn't conflict with weekend activities, the group will now meet on Mondays from 7-9 p.m. Classes began earlier this fall, are open to the public, and the fee is still just $5 per person. Bring your friends, but if you don't have a partner, join them and they'll find someone for you to dance with. It's a great way to meet new people and have fun while getting in your 10,000 steps for exercise as well! Classes are held at the Durham Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Hall, 20 Madbury Road. The hall has a fine wood floor for dancing that has just the right "give and slide" to make set dancing pleasurable.
It's necessary to take set dancing classes to learn the movements, listen to the beat of the music (which is a vigorous tempo of traditional Irish tunes - done to reels, jigs, and polkas) and to begin learning the basic set dances. There are about a dozen set dances that are frequently danced at ceilis (that's Irish for party or dance), and these sets are emphasized in the class. The instructor first demonstrates and breaks down each figure into smaller parts for the class to practice, before starting the music. The polka step and reel step are similar, but different, and mastering the shift in weight in each is critical to the timing of the dance and ultimately, your enjoyment of the dance form.
Join the class now and you'll be ready to dance at a ceili! More information about the classes, the ceili, and videos demonstrating set dancing can be found on the club website: www.SeacoastSetDancers.org, or you can contact Sue Dunlavey by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

In this scenario
Armed Homeowner Shoots Robbers During Daytime Invasion (AZ) - YouTube
the homeowner opened fire from within his home at the perps before they could enter the house. Under the same circumstances, tactically, it seems like a good idea to shoot at them from within your house as they obviously meant harm. It just would seem to me, that it is better to ward off/stop the attack than try to defend once they are inside your home. Of course, you are responsible for any bullet fired, but what are you to do????

Top Critic Reviews
Rotten: Nichols takes an ad hoc approach to comic irony and the movie seems to have been enshrined by American audiences because each moment in isolation "works," no matter that they tend to cancel each other out.
- Alan Dale, Blogcritics.org, Thursday, June 24, 2010
Fresh: The emotional elevation of the film is due in no small measure to the extraordinarily engaging performances of Anne Bancroft as the wife-mother-mistress, Dustin Hoffman as the lumbering Lancelot, and Katherine Ross as his fair Elaine.
- Andrew Sarris, Village Voice, Monday, January 14, 2013
Audience Reviews
Could "The Graduate" be the first art-house movie of all time? Ehh, I don't think so, but it's definitely a game-changer. At its time, Hollywood dished out grand epics after grand epics with "perfect" and steady camerawork, larger than life characters, and narratives that stretch at an epic scale. But "The Graduate" does a U-turn on the traditional ways of filmmaking. Unconventional mechanics like quick zooms, strangely edited shots, and lingering close-ups are riddled about in "The Graduate". It does enough difference for it to stand out among other films alike it. But to say that the narrative is different from the rest is an understatement -- its daring, bold, and darkly challenging. Especially after the time the Production Code came to a close, "The Graduate" dives head-first into dark waters. This is a psychologically driven character-study of a young innocent boy finding his place in the world to be a "different" man. "The Graduate" is absolutely effective in what it intends to do. Everything is cohesively crafted: strong thematic foundation, solid character development, sharp writing, and thought-provoking symbolism. Entertaining, provocative, and strangely disturbing, "The Graduate" immerses audiences into a young boy's world that's trying to make the best out of his life.
- fb1463751009, Tuesday, November 27, 2012
With the soundtrack, screenplay, direction and performances The Graduate become one of the most tense and remarkable love stories in cinema.
- fb100002359227440, Friday, August 3, 2012
THE GRADUATE certainly is the classic I've been told of. The somewhat quirky characters and their dialogue give this movie some outrageously funny wit, yet there is also a great amount of drama. The film is actually much more a drama, just touched up lovingly with comedy. We see the story through the eyes of Benjamin Braddock, who is a week away from turning twenty-one years old when the story unfolds. He's a rather calm, patient character who would be nice to be around. Complemented by the serene soundtrack by Simon & Garfunkel, his character takes off. Dustin Hoffman's performance indeed familiarizes us with his character even more. The depth produced is what makes such heated arguments placed in the latter half of the film so emotional. It's impressive how much we understand him and his point of view without one bit of narration. read more at themoviefreakblog.com

Annual OKC-wide Men's Retreat
"Hazak"... Hebrew for "be strong." Throughout the Scriptures, God calls men to be strong. From Joshua to Solomon to men in the early church, His voice was clear.
The call of God is the same to men today.
It is a call for men to rise up in obedience to Jesus when it's not popular.
It is a call for men to courageously resist evil and embrace the gospel in their own hearts and homes.
It is a call to speak words of life and peace into the chaos of our world.
HAZAK … Come hear His voice for yourself.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from your Buddy PelicansFan!
Hey bro! As you know, I'm generally spot on with the gas prices going up or down. Quickly and I'm gonna ask you and others to pass it on to everyone as I just don't have the time to do it this time. We might go back up on gas, or rather, WE WILL shortly by about six to 12 cents a gallon minimum with a strong probability of going back up 14 to 22 cents a gallon, possibly even more. In the midwest and the west coast, mountain states, Alaska and Hawaii, I expect the price jumps to be more. It's coming just in-time for the holiday you know!
Congrats on 2.2 million points
Enjoy the 4th!
It's a little late, but May the 4th be with you! Something I wanted to say: I AM a greenie mind you, but I'm not an eco-nazi like some are. You want to pay $5 to $14 a gallon for gas? Some want you to. Do you drive a EV or a hybrid at least? Some would rather see you in jail if you're not. Some of them are getting more extreme all the time. You're gas prices might start to go up there within the next two to four days. Where it goes up to this time I'm not certain. If it doesn't go up within the next five days or so and we get a further break going down or sideways on price, then we'll most likely be going up by the 15th to the 24th at the latest. I had REALLY hoped we'd have a break through until the 15th, but it not looking like that. You have a good weekend ahead.
You have made it 6 years. Happy GB anniversary good buddy.
Something different: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8VQfwgMwIE Enjoy! Pass it on!
Today is our buddy CPayZombie's birthday. Please stop by his WB and wish him a good one!
Now that there is a nice bird. Live long & prosper!

If you cause physical harm to your body in order to deal with overwhelming feelings, know that you have nothing to be ashamed of. It's likely that you're keeping yourself alive and maintaining psychological integrity with the only tool you have right now. It's a crude and ultimately self-destructive tool, but it works; you get relief from the overwhelming pain/fear/anxiety in your life. The prospect of giving it up may be unthinkable, which makes sense; you may not realize that self-harm isn't the only or even best coping method around.
