If Nancy Reagan Makes It to the White House, So Will Designer James Galanos
He dressed Jackie and Lady Bird. Princess Grace went to him for her engagement party. Diana Ross caused a sensation in his slinky white sheath at the 1979 Academy Awards. But to James Galanos, 55, the crowning achievement of a career as one of America's revered haut couturiers would be to know that his gowns were hanging again on the second floor of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Nancy Reagan is his hope. She has been Galanos' favorite—and vice versa—for nearly 15 years. These days Nancy is busy campaigning in his clothes but not talking much about the man who made them. She has a point. Gowns costing from $1,500 to $15,000 are not the most popular political issue. "Nobody could afford to dress completely with Jimmy," Nancy once confessed, even though the 5'4" aspiring First Lady is sometimes able to buy size 6 samples. "I hang on to what I have."
That's plenty, even though she has recently augmented her campaign wardrobe with Adolfo's more practical knit suits. Nancy Reagan was named to fashion's Hall of Fame in 1974 after three years on the Best Dressed List. Galanos is generally given credit. He is a three-time Coty winner whose elegant, understated clothes are often compared to those of the late dean of U.S. designers, Norman Norell. High-strung and wiry (5'10½", 136 pounds), Galanos is known as Jimmy to a few old friends, though he prefers the royal "we" when referring to himself. "This is a snob operation and that is what we want," he sniffs.
He is particularly pleased when he spots a customer wearing a 20-year-old Galanos dress or suit. "My clothes are long-term investments," he explains. "They usually end up in museums too. Women who spend this kind of money understand."
The only son of Greek-born parents, Galanos grew up in southern New Jersey where his father, Gregory, a frustrated artist, owned restaurants and his mother, Helen, helped with the books. Galanos remembers that he was "a loner, surrounded by three sisters. I never sewed; I just sketched. It was simply instinctive. As a young boy I had no fashion influences around me but all the while I was dreaming of Paris and New York."
After graduating from high school, he enrolled at the Traphagen School of Fashion in New York where he learned to cut patterns and drape. To pay for his room in a West Side residential hotel, Galanos sold sketches at $5 apiece to Seventh Avenue designers. "It was very hard to get started," he recalls. "When I was in my black moods I would go home to New Jersey. Then I'd return to New York and try again."
His doggedness paid off in 1944, when he traveled to California and signed on as a sketch artist for Hollywood film designer Jean Louis. A studio strike put him out of work, so he took off for Paris to apprentice with Robert Piguet, following in the footsteps of Christian Dior and Hubert Givenchy.
Back in Los Angeles by 1947, Galanos struck out on his own. His first collection there was snapped up by Saks Fifth Avenue. "I did extravagant little cotton dresses with a lot of charm that sold for $125 and up," he reminisces. "Today that's what a button costs. I was green and shy but the press loved me." His first show in New York in 1951 generated $400,000 worth of orders. These days Galanos is worth two to five million dollars.
Twice a year he crosses the U.S., promoting his clothes at Saks, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman-Marcus. (Recently he has also been pushing his new perfume, Galanos, at $100 an ounce. It's a woodsy floral scent he dabs on instead of aftershave.) This spring Galanos featured mostly black and white in his collection of suits, dresses and ball gowns. "A soft, full line," he says. "No eccentricities." However, his collection did tout culottes for day and evening and he raised hemlines to the knee, "to the dismay of my clients."
Earlier this year bachelor Galanos retired his key at Flippers Roller Boogie Palace in L.A. when a skater knocked him down and broke his wrist (he swore off skiing in 1962 after fracturing his collarbone). Now Galanos prefers entertaining friends in his new whirlpool in the courtyard of his Beverly Hills home. Because he doesn't like to cook, Galanos hops into his black 1965 Rolls-Royce and heads for McDonald's for breakfast. He eats dinner out too, admitting that he keeps nothing in the refrigerator but a bottle of champagne. "There used to be caviar," he sighs. "But I can't afford it anymore."

In FOX's tough-guy-filled Prison Break, Sarah Wayne Callies holds her own as Sara Tancredi, the prison doctor with a druggie past who helped inmate Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and his crew bust out and is now a fugitive herself. The Honolulu-reared actress, 29, who's expecting her first child, talked to PEOPLE's Brenda Rodriguez.
On sharing one awkwardly similar trait with her character
I begged them to change her name, but they were set on Sara. When I've played other characters, people will walk by you and holler your character's name and you know they're not talking to you. Now people can get me to turn around and talk. It's strange.
On playing the role of a recovering drug addict
On behalf of friends [who deal with this issue], I wanted to get it right. I talked to a woman who was in recovery, I talked to a counselor, I watched Requiem for a Dream and Rush, and I read William S. Burroughs's Junky.
On growing up in Hawaii
It kept me out of trouble. On weekends, you'd wake up, go to the beach, go hiking, and by the time people in Iowa were drinking beer out of the back of a pickup truck, you were fast asleep.
On what she does when she's not on the run
I love cooking. My signature dish? I make a pasta sauce from scratch that my husband [Josh] loves. [I add] jalapeño peppers to give it a kick. You gotta watch a man sweat when he eats a meal you make. It's important!

What the Job of the Appraiser Is
Thanks to programs like PBS' Antiques Roadshow in combination with the recession of the past few years more people than ever have been taking a look at their personal libraries to see if perhaps they have a book or two or more that might have a surprising or even a suspected financial value. People request appraisals of their books for a variety of reasons. The volumes may be part of a current or future estate settlement, whether for death or divorce. Appraisers are also called in for insurance estimates and even in criminal cases. One criminal case in particular that I worked on, the appraised value of the books was a deciding factor in the length of the accused person's jail term.
As an appraiser, I can provide an unbiased opinion on the value of an entire collection, a small group of books or even a single volume. I can give either a quick verbal appraisal or a detailed, formal appraisal that is written out and referenced with sources if there is any dispute. Any legal situation usually requires a formal appraisal and the cost varies from $50 to several hundred dollars, depending on the nature of the appraisal itself.
Another factor that affects the appraisal is the role of the appraiser. Is the appraiser an independent estimator or a potential buyer? The more formal the appraisal, the further away the appraiser should be (in terms of buying interests) from the materials themselves. The Internal Revenue Service restricts dealers who have helped amass the collection in any way from being the appraiser in a property value case. I have turned down some appraisal jobs and let the client know that it was because I didn't want to restrict myself from bidding in the future.
The final appraisal report will vary in total amount depending on whether the client requested a wholesale or retail price evaluation. Wholesale appraisals are done in cases where the collection may be sold to other dealers, while a retail appraisal is done for insurance and other such cases where the entire collection would have to be replaced. When you call an appraiser, be sure that you are both very clear about the nature of the appraisal and the intended purpose of the report.
Doing It Yourself
Many people think that an appraiser is unnecessary. A good number of people approach me at lectures and want to figure out the values themselves. They may think that an appraiser won't give them a straight answer so they decide to scour the price guides on their own. However, all of those catalogs and auction reports must be used judiciously. The prices in American Book Prices Current, for instance, are based on particular volumes sold at auctions. The books in your collection may be in better or worse shape, vary slightly in detail or may not be in high demand at the time you go to sell. Nothing, not even the best price guide in the world, can substitute for the experience and knowledge of a professional appraiser.
Most dealers can look through a list and immediately note the books of value and the rare volumes that can net you a profit. It can save a seller a great deal of time if he or she gets an informal initial appraisal from a knowledgeable dealer. If you are upfront with the dealer and make it clear that you may get a second opinion, there won't be any hard feelings.
When preparing a list of books, be sure to note the author, title, date and publisher. I generally assume that the books are in good condition. However, if you have a signed or illustrated edition, bring that to the appraiser's attention. The first question I usually ask is approximately how many books there are in the entire collection. I then want to know if a large number are on one specific subject. Someone who amasses 100 books on orchid growing, for example, likely will have some volumes of value.
Here's a general rule of thumb: the less the book is about, the more valuable it is. A 200-page book on World War II in most cases isn't as valuable, as a 200-page book on General Patton. Supply and demand also dictates a book's selling potential. Currently, the trend in collecting is towards purchasing the best of the best, the top-notch books in each category rather than buying complete sets of all the books on that topic, The trend is inflating the prices of the top books and driving down demand and prices for the mid-range books. The mid-range is even harder to sell today than in previous years.
What is rare?
Essentially, a book that is limited in supply and unique for some reason is rare. The first English edition of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is not as rare as the first German edition but is worth more because it is in higher demand. Any of the children's books illustrated by Maxfield Parrish or N.C. Wyatt can fetch u p to $1,000 if they are signed and rare. One mistake that many people make is thinking that their collection isn't worth much because they don't have even a single title that is considered rare. In reality, a collection of 1,000 books, even if they are only worth $2-5 dollars a piece, can net the seller several thousand dollars.
There is the occasional client who has had a rare book and not been aware of it. One house I visited in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a woman was selling me a collection of books that she hoped would be worth about $1,000 dollars. I gave her a bid of $900 on them. She asked if there was anything else I might take a look at. On a nearby shelf, she had a set of a dozen books by Robert Frost. I leafed through them and then looked in the front pages.
There, hand-written and signed, were stanzas by Frost himself, a gift to the woman's late husband. These 12 books were worth thousands of dollars, far more than the woman expected to receive for her collection.
Sometimes, it pays to spend the extra moments looking under the jacket or the last fin of the book – you never know what you might find. If you are unsure about the value of what you do find, call in an appraiser. He or she will give you an honest and thorough answer or point you in the right direction if you want to do it yourself.

SACRAMENTO. CA - Second year Campbell Law students Beth Stowell, Thomas Harper and Luke Dalton were highly competitive at the 2009 Asylum and Refugee Law National Moot Court Competition, sponsored by U.C. Davis School of Law on February 7. The competition was held at the U.S. District Court for Eastern District of California in Sacramento, CA. It is the only immigration law moot court competition on the West Coast, and the only one in the nation devoted exclusively to the topic of asylum and refugee law.
Campbell's three-person team was recognized as producing the Best Brief in the competition. Additionally, Beth Stowell was presented with the Best Oral Advocate award and Thomas Harper received the second place Oral Advocate award. Campbell finished second in overall program behind U.C. Hastings School of Law. Professor of Law, Lynn Buzzard, coached this highly competitive team.
"This marks the third year in a row that Campbell Law has brought home a Best Brief award in a national competition," said Dean Melissa Essary. "The quality of our student's written work and case analysis is second to none."
Other awards earned by Campbell Law moot court teams in recent years include national championships at the 2008 Jerome Prince Evidence Competition at the Brooklyn School of Law and 2007 William E. McGee National Civil Rights Moot Court Competition at the University of Minnesota School of Law. In both instances, Campbell Law teams were also presented with Best Brief and Best Oral Advocate awards.
About Campbell Law School: Since its founding in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University has developed lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion and professional competence, and who view the law as a calling to serve others and create a more just society. The School has been recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) as having the nation's top Professionalism Program and by the American Academy of Trial Lawyers for having the nation's best Trial Advocacy Program. In 2008, the Law School's Moot Court Program was ranked in the top ten nationally by the University of Houston's Blakely Advocacy Institute among 196 ABA accredited law schools. Campbell Law boasts more than 3,000 alumni, including 2,000 who reside and work in North Carolina. For the past 20 years, Campbell Law's record of success on the North Carolina bar exam is unsurpassed by any other North Carolina law school. In the fall of 2009, Campbell Law School will relocate from the main Campbell University campus to a new location in downtown Raleigh.

Is Your Personal and Private Information Safe Online?5MinutesForMom
My friend and I were out walking our dogs the other day and a neighbor called us over to borrow a cell phone. The mailbox for the street had been broken into — the door wide open revealing all the empty personal mail boxes.
I imagined all the stolen mail and the chaos it would cause — credit card statements, phone bills, Christmas gifts and checks… I felt terrible for my affected neighbors. I have had my van broken into and my purse stolen before. Credit cards, money, Social Insurance Numbers, Health Care Numbers, etc. It was terrible!
As I walked home, I thought about our lives online — and the panic people have about shopping, banking, and sharing personal information online.
I live my life online. Like most of you, I bank, shop, work, run businesses, blog, tweet, Facebook, etc., and I do it all "risking" my private personal information and online safety.
But really — how "risky" is this lifestyle???
Sure, there are experts who will have you ready to unplug and move to the woods, but do we have to live in fear?
I have lived and worked online for a decade and I have never had anything "stolen" — other than photos of my kids, my writing, etc., from my blog.
In fact, the most thefts I have experienced were "offline" — stolen wallets, stolen mail, stolen iPhone, stolen camera packed with photos and videos of my kids. They weren't from people hacking into my online accounts or busting my passwords.
Yes, I take reasonable precautions. I use strong passwords and change them often, (but not nearly as often as some people do.) I am careful when using public wi-fi and do not log into bank accounts, etc.
But, do I stay up at night worrying that my personal information is at risk? Well, do you worry about your mail arriving? Because whether it is the mailbox on the corner of your street or your online bank account, bad things can happen.
Keep a close eye on your accounts, watching for unusual behavior, just as you have to for offline risks.
Assume that anything you post on social media sites, regardless of how "private" your settings, may be seen by the "public." So as Kelby Carr puts it, "Don't put anything online you wouldn't put on a billboard."
And then relax.
Protection is an illusion. We never were safe from thieves and we never will be safe. Lock your doors yes. But don't stay up all night watching the door.
What about you? How vigilant are you about your online safety? Does it cause you stress? Do you think I am too relaxed in my approach?

George Washington's Prayer in the Snow
By Charles E. Gower
One of the greatest scenes ever
Depicted in our country's history
And founding, was the Father of
Our Country, praying on bended knee,
At Valley Forge, in the snow.
George Washington was that man,
Our founding Father, who was
Praying on bended knee in the snow
A country would be born through
That prayer, called America!
America would be known as
Home of the brave and the free
And also a home where God's grace
Would dwell. As long as God's word
Was preached.
Miracle after miracle would follow
After that prayer in the snow.
The Father of our Country, George
Washington, would lay the
Foundation for our country and
Our creed, by praying for
God's guidance, along, on
Bended knee in the snow.
George Washington's knee prints in the
Snow are a testimony of what God
Can do through the prayer of one man,
Praying for his country, on bended knee in the snow.
The Sun
By Frances Barry
The worst of the storm lasted for two hours.
I could hear branches falling as I lay in bed.
A tree fell on the house; four trees fell on a neighbor's.
The clouds were heavy and grey for a week.
The sky turned blue gradually.
Finally, the sun came out, revealing,
In its brilliance, dust mites in the kitchen window.
By Shayla Gray
Every single year I look forward to fall
Out of the seasons it is my favorite of them all
I listen to the howling of the wind
Which reminds me that I have a friend
Honey baked ham and sweet pecan pie
May put a few pounds on the edge of my thighs
I sip warm apple cider as I walk around the pumpkin patch
In hope that it is a cold I somehow do not catch
I watch the leaves change colors as they fall from each tree
Then I look around at all of the miracles in life that I see
Watching Disney movies and drinking hot cocoa
Wrapped up in my fuzzy blanket with no place to go
Roasting marshmallows in the hot blazing fire
Dreaming of the love from a man whom I desire
My cheeks stay flushed and my nose begins to run
Then I realize this season has only just begun
Holding my lovers hand as I lay on a pile of hay
I gaze at the stars and wish it would stay that way
The fire burns out and days grow colder
The autumn breeze calms itself
And my hands begin to look older
My lips begin to chap
And the snow starts to fall
Then I remember the days of autumn
The best season of all.
Lover's Bond
By Anthony Pennington
Hate and loss is all I've ever known
Until I met you, the seed of love had not been sewn.
You caled my seething anger
And healed my broken heart.
Now my soul yearns for you
As this world tears us apart.
Though we may not know the outcome of this tragic tale,
Through all this darkness,
Our gift of love shall prevail.
Together or not, we will always be as one
For we share the strongest bond of all,
Our beautiful son.
By Kenneth Hinkle
Nothing else is like a good friend
Who with your time you like to spend
Who's love and friendship never end.
Who is with you through thick and thin
If you have one you will win
Nothing else is like a good friend.
They will know you through and through
They will help you when it is due
Who's love and friendship never end.
When you share a faith belief
It is such a big relief
Nothing else is like a good friend.
Whether you lose or gain
Your friend will remain
Who's love and friendship never end.
Many interests you may share
Such a friendship is very rare
Nothing else is like a good friend.
When I have a friend like you
I will never be so blue
Who's love and friendship never end.
Who still loves you when you fail
Even when you lose your sail
Nothing else is like a good friend.
Encouragement is in the mail
In the rain or in the hail
Who's love and friendship never end.
It's good to have a friend true blue
Until the final round is threw
Nothing else is like a good friend
Who's love and friendship never end.
By Donna Lucas
Why did you leave me
all alone?
And where did you go?
It has been awhile now
Since you went home.
Seems like it was
only yesterday
You were still here.
But I know where you
are mom.
Now that you are gone.
You don't know how
much I miss you.
Or how much I really
did care.
But you left me
here alone.
So why did you
leave me?
The days are so dark
at times.
And the days are
so long.
I know where you
are mom.
And I miss you so.
I know you have
your wings.
And I'm glad that
you do.
Be good up there
And I'll see you soon.
Out of Darkness
By Barbara A. Lee
Out of the darkness, I see a glimmer of light
A figure approaching, not too clear, but very bright
Could this possibly be Jesus, coming to save my soul
Am I one of the lost sheep, who wandered from the fold
When I first turned away from Him, I knew it was wrong
I can't remember when it started, or how long I had been gone
My wicked ways now haunt me, and it is hard to turn around
Where do I start I ask myself, and how can I be found
Seeing the light encouraged me, gave me hope to start again
Confession must be my first step, to repent for every sin
Rid myself of my iniquities, live in faith and believe
Knowing I've been forgiven, give thanks to Him for my reprieve
Now the darkness has left me, and toward the light I reach out
Given the second chance from God, I no longer have any doubt
Humbly I will live my life, never again to have any shame
Serving Him in all I do, will be done in Jesus name.
Valentine's Day
By C.F. Catlett
Valentine's Day will soon be here,
As we celebrate our loved ones for another year,
A day for sharing,
A day for love, a day for caring.
So give your Valentine your heart,
Keep them close and never part,
And thank the Lord up above,
For your Valentine and his love.
The Ides of March
By Patt Welsh
Early spring comes to mind
Leaving winter behind
The crocus peeking
Up from the ground
One of the first signs
That abounds
In gardens
Being tilled
The smell of overturned soil
The beans
Carrots and greens
Turnips and tomatoes
Lettuce and peas
Corn and potatoes
Lots of things
Placed on your table
All fresh commodities.
By Frances Barry
March will never
change. Each
day, the chilly
forsythia promises
that freezing mists
will follow
the cold rain.

In a push for increased government transparency, the Obama administration has announced it will require each Cabinet-level department to post online three collections of "high-value" data—covering everything from tire safety ratings to workplaces where injuries have occurred—previously undisclosed to the public.
The effort aims to fulfill a promise made by President Obama, in his first days in office, for greater openness in government. —JCL
The Obama administration on Friday is posting to the Internet a wealth of government data from all Cabinet-level departments, on topics ranging from child car seats to Medicare services.
The mountain of newly available information comes a year and a day after President Barack Obama promised on his first full day on the job an open, transparent government.
Under a Dec. 8 White House directive, each department must post online at least three collections of "high-value" government data that never have been previously disclosed.

Local advertising pros especially liked the Super Bowl ads for Budweiser and Chrysler, commercials that told poignant stories without overtly pitching products.
For people in the advertising business, the event is a chance to size up what their peers have created for television's biggest sports spectacle, this year at a rate of up to $4 million for 30 seconds of airtime.
They gave a thumbs-up to a touching Budweiser ad featuring a Clydesdale reunited with its trainer, which ranked No. 1 in USA Today's annual survey. They also were impressed with "The Farmer," an unconventional, captivating ad that turned out to be for Dodge Ram trucks.
"They really gave you warm, fuzzy feelings inside and made an emotional connection with the viewer," said Jillian D. Benedict, senior copywriter with Eric Mower + Associates.
The Budweiser ad said nothing about how the beer tastes, and the Chrysler ad didn't hail the truck's performance. But John D. Cimperman Jr., principal of Cenergy Communications, said commercials such as those succeed in a different way, by burnishing the brand. "You want to buy a product from a company that shares your likes, shares your values."
"The Farmer" kept viewers guessing about its sponsor until the very end, with powerful images of farmers and narration by the late radio broadcaster Paul Harvey.
William M. Collins, a principal with Travers Collins & Co., called the spot "riveting."
"It was so simple," he said. "It was emotional. It struck a chord. You couldn't help but get caught up in it."
Benedict was watching the game with a group of people and saw the ad's effect on them.
"That quieted the whole room," she said. "That was a 2-minute ad and was just showing [photographic] stills. It just had the stopping power it needed."
Benedict praised the subtle style. "One thing I liked about it was, when they showed the truck, it wasn't all in your face. It was just there."
Collins appreciated the patriotic tone of Jeep's ad, narrated by Oprah Winfrey and focused on people waiting for family members in the military to come home.
Benedict had mixed feelings about Chrysler's approach to that one: "It felt like they were using the military to boost their own brand." It might have come across better, she said, if Chrysler had used the ad to thank the troops and put a small company logo at the end.
While the Super Bowl remains center stage for TV ads, many of the spots are now released before the game, a practice unheard of years ago. The strategy generates debate in the advertising world, over whether to keep the surprise or reveal the whole thing in order to get people talking before the ad is aired during the game.
Benedict said that if she were working on an ad to run during the Super Bowl, she would understand the urge to release it in advance. But as a viewer? "I think it's like looking at your presents before Christmas," she said.
Benedict wonders if releasing ads early lessens the impact with viewers on game day. "A lot of the time because we've seen them," she said, "they're totally tuned out."
Cimperman thinks revealing an entire Super Bowl ad ahead of time is a mistake. "One point of the impact of a commercial is to catch people by surprise, catch them off-guard." He favors a nuanced approach, like releasing a "teaser" of an ad before the game, or a "behind-the-scenes" glimpse of a spot to build interest.
Collins sees both sides of the issue. Some may favor the payoff from a surprise, but what if the game is a dud and the audience dwindles before your ad debuts? "You roll the dice a little bit," Collins said. Revealing an ad ahead of time, he said, takes greater of advantage of the money poured into producing and paying for it. "You want to maximize your investment and amortize your costs," he said.
Interactive trends have taken root. Viewers voted online for how ads for Coca-Cola and Audi should end, as well as helping choose a Doritos ad to air during the game. Meanwhile, there are some constants, such as racy GoDaddy.com ads that spark controversy – and have people still talking about them after the game.
What makes a Super Bowl ad effective? "To me," Cimperman said, "it's not the amount of money you spend on production. It's the simplicity; it's the clarity of the idea."

Sarah Ziff, who founded the Model Alliance, speaks out.
The former model Sarah Ziff, creator of the behind-the-scenes documentary, Picture Me, which depicted an honest portrait of the ups and downs of modeling, penned a piece for the BBC which we think is just terrific. In her continuing efforts to effect change in the fashion industry, Ziff makes a few key points:
- First and foremost, Ziff cites the problem of a "Peter Pan syndrome" in the industry. The models are too young and they stay too young, making it hard for adult women to view them and believe, body-wise, that it's ever okay to grow up.
- The public's superficial criticism of very thin models is pretty pointless. Telling someone to "eat a hamburger" doesn't change anything in fashion.
- More pressing than addressing whether models under 18 years old should be permitted to work is the issue of the conditions in which all models, of any age, have to work. The conditions are totally unregulated, and Ziff believes it needs to be the first thing to change.
- As is a problem in many industries, Ziff wants to fight for models to have access to affordable healthcare. Models: they're just like us!
Speaking out like this in an ongoing way is incredibly valuable — if any real change is going to be made in fashion, it's probably going to have to be sparked from within. Ziff's 2010 documentary can be credited with helping kick off the current wave of model protection initiatives, including her own Model Alliance, founded last year, and the organization Stand Up For Fashion, started by former model Yomi Abiola, to assist working models and change the culture of fashion. Now, as even regular members of the public begin to get deeply involved in how models are portrayed, it's becoming more of a reality that fashion advertising and editorial work will look significantly different in an imaginable future.

Insmed (NASDAQ: INSM ) will have nearly $60 million at its disposal if a new public stock offering goes as planned. The company is floating 6 million shares of its common stock in a public issue that has been priced at $10.40 per share. The gross take will be $62.4 million, which the firm said should net it around $58 million after fees and expenses.
Insmed said it plans to use those proceeds for the continued development of its ARIKACE, an antibiotic used to treat lung infections. It will also utilize the funds for working capital and for "general corporate purposes."
Leerink Swan is the sole book-runner of the issue, which is expected to close "on or about" July 22.
At the moment, Insmed has approximately 31.8 million shares outstanding, and its stock trades at $11.78 per share.

A simple test of smooth-pursuit eye movements disclosed a striking association between deviant eye tracking and clinically diagnosed schizophrenia. A high proportion of the schizophrenic patients' first-degree relatives who were not themselves clinically schizophrenic also showed deviant eye-tracking behavior. The relationship of poor eye tracking and schizophrenia is even stronger when specific psychological test evidence of thought disorder is used operationally to classify patients. The eye-tracking dysfunction may thus represent a genetic marker that can prove highly useful for studying the transmission of a vulnerability to schizophrenia. The findings suggest proprioceptive and interoceptive involvement in schizophrenic pathology.

This week's post on movie news and movie rumors brings you up to date on the latest from Hollywood. First up, Denis Leary has been added to the cast of Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot. He will play the father of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). Leary has gone from comedian to dramatic actor (TV's "Rescue Me") to this. Will likely be a relatively small role.
The hit Paranormal Activity will see a third movie in the franchise. After the success of the first film which was made for $25k and earned over $100mm to the latest still in theaters, making over $80mm thus far on a $3mm budget, adding a new film was essentially a no-brainer. Will this become the new Saw franchise or will it end at three movies though? The third movie will drop on 10/21/11.
George Clooney is looking to take the lead in Steven Soderbergh's just announced Man from U.N.C.L.E. This would be a remake based on the TV series. Clooney would play agent Napoleon Soto and the film will reportedly retain its original 1960's setting.
Another A-lister, Iron Man 2 star Robert Downey Jr. is looking closely at How to Talk to Girls. This one still has to be at the rumor stage in the sense that the article is quick to make mention that no deal has been struck yet and RDJ is only interested in the project at this juncture.
Hostel director Eli Roth is going to produce a movie based on the fake Clown movie trailer. You can look at the trailer by clicking on the link, it's not really my cup of tea.
Not imminently related but THR has a book review of "75 Years of DC Comics." The book will run you a mere 2 bills if you want it. You can get up on your superhero knowledge with this one.
Hopeful filmmakers now have another option to try to get their project seen and/or to market with Amazon Studios. The announcement was made earlier this week, but here is a breakdown on what it might really have to offer.
Finally, it appears all of you Keanu Reeves fans will have an opportunity to see his movie Henry's Crime. It has found distribution and will be released into 10 markets in the Spring of 2011. The movie co-stars Vera Farmiga and James Caan. Whoa! Here is a scene, just because I like you so much.

The preferred playground of the hip and fabulous.
The creator of and brains behind this resort, the impeccable George Maloof, wanted a hip place near the Strip, for every type of play and every style of player. Succeeding far beyond his wildest dreams, he spawned this venue that includes N9NE Steakhouse and ghostbar, featuring intimate seating vessels, twelve-foot floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor ghost deck. The Pearl Concert Theater offers state-of-the-art stage technology in an intimate setting --- there's not a single bad seat in the house. Two towers house 703 rooms that have recently been redesigned and completely remodeled. A third tower, Palms Place, is home to opulent suites and a spa. The two bachelor party suites are also popular, and big-name entertainers vie to stay in the full-floor Real World Suite, in which the MTV show was filmed. The Fantasy Tower is exactly that: a playground with amenities to help guests fulfill their wildest dreams. Fun themes include the Bowling Suite, complete with two regulation-size bowling lanes; the Hot Pink Suite, which is pink, silver and furry; and the fantasy granddaddy of them all, the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa, which has, among other incredible features, an outdoor Jacuzzi that juts out from the building. The three-story, 18,000-square-foot spa overlooks the swimming pools. Alizé (created and operated by acclaimed chef-restaurateur André Rochat) occupies the top floor and has a spectacular view of the Strip and surrounding mountains. The Palms Pool features 24 private luxury cabanas and three bungalows that can be combined to create one big party atmosphere.

Boykin: "Persecution" Of Christian Soldiers, Politicians A Sign Of The End Times
Former Lt. General Jerry Boykin has emerged as a Religious Right hero as a leading opponent of civil rights for American Muslims, fervent critic of President Obama, and a rigid supporter of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Boykin also presents himself as the victim of anti-Christian persecution when he was reprimanded after he delivered a speech in uniform during which he said he was part of an "army of God" fighting "Satan," and that the Muslim warlords he fought worshipped an "idol."
Yesterday, in an interview with Janet Parshall, Boykin argued that the "persecution" of Christian soldiers and public figures was actually a sign of the End Times:
Boykin: Jesus tells us in Luke 21 that before all the signs of His return ultimately are completed that they will take us before kings and rulers and persecute us in His name. And that is, just scripture, that's prophesy, and I think we're seeing that persecution now of Christians, particularly of Christians in uniform, Christians that are prominent Christians, Christians that are in the public eye. That persecution is going to increase as we come closer to the time of Jesus' return.
Boykin has consistently warned that Christians like himself were encountering discrimination and that religious soldiers will be negatively impacted by the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, telling the Christian Broadcasting Network that the "presence of people who are homosexual has a divisive effect" on the military as "one person who would demonstrate what I consider to be aberrant behavior can really tear up the integrity of the organization." Now, it appears that this supposed persecution signals the Second Coming.

'I Wish Someone Help Me Write this Song'; Or, the Efficient Allocation of Resources in Rock Bands
Cinzia Ciardi
Università di Pisa - Facoltà di Scienze Politiche

Universita di Pisa - Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche; CESifo (Center for Economic Studies and Ifo Institute)
February 21, 2010
Economics, they say, can explain (almost) everything. In this paper, we argue that with a little help from its friends - that is, borrowing a few insights from psychology and sociology - economics can explain also why certain rock bands have had more success than others. We argue that the two most successful rock bands of all times in terms of album sales - Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd - have both relied on an efficient internal organisation in which productive tasks were allocated according to the principle of comparative advantage. We also note that efficient organisational structures are difficult to achieve and to maintain in the case of rock bands. Finally, we suggest that our analysis yields valuable insights for the study of the internal organisation of productive teams without a pre-ordained hierarchical structure.

My plan is as follows:
6 oz 2% greek yogurt (3.5g fat)
1/2 banana and handful of strawberries
1/2 chicken breast
1 cup sweet potatoes (unfortunately, already buttered - so maybe 1/2 T butter)
A few Boston lettuce leaves
3 or 4 oz Flounder
2/3 cup White rice
3 oz 2% greek yogurt
Some questions -
How much fruit and non-starchy vegetables are detrimental? A banana, an apple, strawberries - is that too much fructose, and then the lettuce? Do I have enough starch?
Do I have too much fat for this to work? Is 2% yogurt ok? It's just what I happen to have.
I plugged it in cronometer, and this is 80g protein, 185g carbs, 16g fat. (Note, I am a very small person, so all is lower).
Planned exercise is sprints.

He had been ill for some time and had to share directing duties on his last film "Chaos" with co-helmer and scribe Khaled Youssef after the physical demands of the shoot began to take its toll.
Pic, a sprawling melodramatic take on everything from police corruption, torture and rape in Cairo, was one of Chahine's biggest hits and topped the Egyptian box office when released late last year.
Chahine, by some margin the Arab world's most famous director, has enjoyed an illustrious career spanning more than half a century. He came of age during Egyptian cinema's golden age in the 1950s and 1960s when the country's film industry, dubbed Hollywood on the Nile, lagged behind only Hollywood and Bollywood in terms of film production.
"Cairo Station," Chahine's 1958 adaptation of Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz's novel, is arguably the great director's masterpiece, although other works such as "Al-asfur" ("The Sparrow"), "Al-ard" ("The Land") and "Al-siraa fil wadi" ("Struggle in the Valley"), in which Chahine gave Omar Sharif his first role, are all deemed classics of Arab cinema.
Chahine, who studied acting in the U.S. during the 1940s, retained a long-held love affair with America, even devoting the final part of his "Alexandria" trilogy to his time spent in New York with the 2004 feature "Alexandria…New York."
In his later years, Chahine become increasingly critical of American foreign policy in the Middle East and also a vocal opponent to the spread of Islamic fundamentalism. His 1997 feature "Al-massir" ("Destiny") presciently foretold the dangers of religious extremism. That same year he was honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Cannes Film Festival.
"Chaos" was selected in competition in last year's Venice Film Festival and Chahine personally attended the film's preem, despite his ailing health.

Recently, I have been thinking back about my experiences with OPA and the various roles I have played for the association. I have enjoyed the time I have spent as a committee member, a board member and as our Finance Officer. I now look forward to my next year as President, and hope that I am able to enjoy the same fulfilling experience through this new role. As a person, I know that working as a volunteer for OPA has enhanced my sense of purpose in life, and helped me feel I am making a positive contribution to my profession and the world around me. As I reflect on all this, it reminds of two important facts regarding our association. One is the crucial influence OPA has on the profession of psychology in Ohio. The second is the fact that the majority of this significant work would be impossible without the energy and support of the many volunteers on which OPA depends.
As most members consider important work of our association, I believe they are more aware of the accomplishments made on behalf of the members, and perhaps less aware of how much this work depends on our volunteers. I urge of all our members to consider these facts together, that volunteering provides individual benefits for the volunteer, as well as crucial benefits for the association. In my various roles as an OPA volunteer and leader, I have found myself in conversations with a number of psychologists who are interested in becoming more involved with the work of the association. I urge them to consider their own interests, strengths, talents, and then get to know the work of the various committees of OPA to find an area which matches their resources.
While most of our committees could benefit from the efforts of willing helpers, I would like to highlight here the work of specific groups many people are attracted to. A huge role for OPA is advocacy. All psychologists benefit when OPA advocates for legislation and public policy which reflects the interests of psychologists. Our Advocacy Committee attracts individuals who have a passion for helping to coordinate this kind of work. Additionally, our Legislative Day actively seeks participants who are interested in receiving more training and experience in meeting with legislators and discussing key issues.
An important role for OPA is providing quality education for our members and other professionals. This service also provides the association with an important source of income. Continuing education opportunities are provided through our annual convention, stand alone workshops, and through our developing list of webinars. Individuals who have an interest in this are often find fulfillment through volunteering for our Education Committee or submitting a proposal in their area of expertise to teach one of these offerings.
Recently, a number of people have contacted me who have concerns about the emerging bullying issued so much in public awareness lately. I am pleased to announce that OPA will be forming a task force specifically aimed at addressing this issue, and this group is actively seeking new members.
In an effort to recruit more psychologists at the beginning of their career, as well as make OPA more relevant for this group, we have a newly formed Early Career Psychologists Committee. Individuals who are just starting their career but are concerned that OPA may not be important for them would find working with this committee to be an opportunity to make their voice heard. Within the past year, the newly formed Disaster Response Committee has been working to enhance our Disaster Response Network here in Ohio. This is a group of mental health professional who are trained by the Red Cross to be mental health workers at disaster sights. This committee is just beginning their work of recruiting, organizing, and training volunteers, and is open for additional members.
These are only a few of the areas where fulfilling volunteer experiences are available. In the future, I will look for ways of highlighting the work in other areas. In the meantime, I urge all members to investigate any area of interest they have. If you would like to obtain more information, you may do so by connecting with the committee, task force and affiliate page on the OPA website where links to chair email addresses are available.

Camden, Tenn.
UT Martin agriculture student Michael Katrutsa was 14 when he moved to the United States from the Ukraine and settled in Camden, Tenn. The long process began to gain U.S. citizenship, which finally happened in 2012. This milestone was followed by his first opportunity to vote as a U.S. citizen in the recent elections.
"[The process} is long and tedious," Katrutsa said. "I came here just about seven years ago and it took about six years."
He then described in detail the channels of obtaining a temporary green card, and then permanent green card, plus a biometrics test in Nashville and a citizenship interview in Memphis to ensure that he could read and speak English and had knowledge of American government. The language part, he said, was "easy as pie," because he had attended Camden High School since coming to the United States and his mother had been an English teacher in the Ukraine.
"Then you have to go to Memphis again for the naturalization ceremony, where you take your oaths. There were 248 people there from different countries, 48 different nations," he said. "I'm proud to get it. I'm proud to be an American."
Katrutsa settled into farm life when he moved to rural Camden and became active in the National FFA Organization in high school, which sparked his interest in agriculture at UT Martin.
"I was president of FFA my senior year [of high school]. I got involved in judging … livestock judging, soil judging, horse judging …" he said.
It comes as no surprise he chose UT Martin for its agriculture program.
"It's one of the best schools in the state for agriculture. They have a reputation for that," he said.
Plant science, how to identify weeds, and soil fertility and erosion were some subjects he mentioned learning about during class and some he was able to implement while working for himself to complete the program's internship requirement.
"We have a particular tract of land, and we have to figure out conservation practices for the particular piece of land," he said of one class project.
Overall, Katrutsa praised UT Martin as a student centered school with good opportunities.
"The professors are great. They will bend over backwards to help you.
Katrutsa is also practically a renaissance man as he raises and sells vegetables at a farmer's market six days per week during summer months, currently commutes to campus from Camden where he takes a heavy course load of 23 hours, and plays the piano and organ at Liberty United Methodist Church in Camden.
"I actually play the organ. My mom plays the piano but when she's not there I play the piano," he said with a smile.

Poulter Says Rules of Golf Should Be Re-examined
Never one to shy away from his opinion, England's Ian Poulter, the 11th-ranked golfer in the world, said the Rules of Golf need to be re-examined to avoid the kinds of disqualifications that have occurred in recent weeks.
Poulter said Wednesday on the eve of the European Tour's Volvo Golf Champions in Bahrain that "if you look at a number of the scenarios and situations that we've had in the last 12 months, I think a lot of rules certainly need to be re-looked at for sure."
Among the high-profile players recently DQ-ed was Padraig Harrington, who didn't replace his ball correctly when it moved after he picked up his marker in last week's Abu Dhabi Golf Championship. Earlier this month Camilo Villegas was disqualified from the PGA Tour's season-opening Tournament of Champions after a different rule violation.
In both instances, the players did not assess themselves the requisite two-stroke penalty for their offenses and were disqualified after their rounds for signing incorrect scorecards. Also in both cases a television viewer saw the infractions and called in to notify officials.
"I think there's no common sense involved with a number of the rules, so that needs to be addressed," added Poulter.
On his Twitter account, he later opined: "Rules of Golf Book, Rule 22-4, Paragraph 3, Line 7 - the rules of golf are complete b****cks and are stuck back in 1932."
"There's no common sense involved with a number of the rules, so that needs to be addressed, and even Jack Nicklaus said it last week," Poulter also said.
Tiger Woods, who made his PGA Tour season debut Thursday in the Farmers Insurance Open, also weighed in on the matter. "It's our responsibility to know the rules, that's part of playing the game," Woods said.
"We are out there doing it for a living, but the only difference with these rulings is that some infractions have happened and will continue to happen (and not be picked up), but some guys are on TV all the time, so it's maybe not a level playing field."

Carolina Tiger Rescue, formerly the Carnivore Preservation Trust, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit wildlife sanctuary whose mission is saving and protecting wild cats in captivity and in the wild.
Titan Tiger
Donate in Memory
Date of Birth
Date of Death
Titan arrived at Carolina Tiger Rescue in November, 2010; part of a group of 3 lions and 3 tigers that were rescued when the Wild Animal Orphanage (WAO), a large sanctuary in Texas, closed its doors due to funding issues.
Prior to his life at WAO, Titan lived at the Corpus Christi Zoo in Texas, who surrendered him to the SPCA when they were closed due to violations of the Animal Welfare Act.
Titan was very relaxed and was best buds with Bali but unfortnuately Titan began having problems with his hips and Bali played too rough with him. They were eventualy separated.
Carolina Tiger's medical team sedated Titan on Apr 13th, 2012, to evaluate the status of his hips which had been impairing his mobility for some time. Titan had not been responding to various treatments to manage his pain. Given our lack of additional options for treatment, the decision was made to euthanize him. Titan won the hearts of many by being a talkative and friendly tiger. He loved to come to the fence and chat a while with anyone that was willing to come over for a visit, even when the attempt was clearly painful. His gentle soul will be greatly missed.

Hej, jeg hedder Leila!
hi, i am a hair dresser in NYC. i live with my cat and my boyfriend. i love to travel and see other places. 5 things i can't live with out are comfy shoes (for all my adventures) , a good book (for adventures while i am stationary), a blow dryer (for keeping my crazy hair in check), tofu (because I'm a vegetarian), and a yoga mat (for feeling good while said adventuring)
my favorite travel destinations are everywhere and anywhere. i haven't traveled much but i am working on changing that. one of the great things about growing up in NYC is you can get a sneak peak in to all these other cultures, and the result has been that i am so curious to get out and experience everything first hand.
when i am not at work making people gorgeous, i take french classes (for the past 2 years) i practice yoga almost everyday. i like to cook and i also teach assistants at my salon to get them to be hair stylists themselves one day
i think i would be a good guest because i am extremely tidy. my NYC apartment is super small so cleanliness is high on my list of priorities. i also live by the motto "treat others how you would like to be treated", needless to say if someone stayed in my house i would expect all my things to be respected so that is just what you can expect of me.

Shaved Berry Ice And Berry Ice SmoothieMacki West
My kid had oral surgery yesterday and she was a champ! I'm serious, after general anesthesia, coming home and napping for 2 hours it was as if nothing had happened. The only problem was that I hadn't stocked up on soft foods, like smoothie supplies and ice cream. We got back from a trip the evening before and the cupboard and fridge were bare so we had to wing it. I think it was meant to be. The night before the surgery we went for a walk and our neighbor offered us lemons from her tree. Sylvie went and found a double lemon and wanted to make fresh lemonade out of it, so we did and this one lemon made a ton of juice! Cut to the following day post surgery hunger attack and request for a smoothie. Uh oh. Then I remembered I had made a ton of berry ice and still had plenty in the freezer. Those berry ice cubes and fresh lemonade made the most wonderful smoothies out there. They were so good we decided to make shaved ice out of just the berry ice. Those were equally delicious. Both were perfect post surgery food for Sylvie and perfect cool-off-on-a-hot-summer-day for Lincoln and I.
Look at the size of this double lemon!
This was taken the day of her oral surgery. Look at that happy girl!
Berry Ice Smoothie Recipe
homemade lemonade (or store bought, but fresh is so good and easy)
Here's how you make the berry ice. For lemonade we just squeeze lemons (1 or 2) and add water and agave to taste. Place 5 ice cubes in the blender and almost cover with lemonade. Blend until smooth. Pour into cup and enjoy!
Berry Shaved Ice Recipe
I have a small electric snow cone maker, but it was not shaving this ice, so I busted out my vintage Ice-O-Matic with a hand crank that shaves the ice. Worked like a charm and left it kind of chunky so it was extra delish.
