Taratoot Exhibition Featured in Airport Atrium JewishTHE Georgian Volume 24, Number 4 Atlanta, Georgia MAY-JUNE 2012 FREE Taratoot exhibition featured in Airport Atrium “The Les Fleurs Photographic Collection,” by Georgia artist Barry Taratoot, is featured in the Atrium at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. “The pieces in this exhibit are stunningly surreal and focus the viewer’s eye on the exquisite detail in nature’s design,” said David Vogt, Airport Art Program manager. “The con- trolled arrangement and lighting of the flowers create a dynamic composition of textures, sur- faces, and color. The rich, black background serves to emphasize each flower’s unique con- tour and many intricacies.” The exhibition included 15 framed photo- graphs, ranging in size from 30x40 inches to 4x6 feet. Apricot Asiatic Lilly Brisbane Callas Dahlia Lavender White & Yellow Orchids The images defy the viewer to believe what he or she is seeing. The soft, yet vivid, (all photos: Barry J Taratoot Photography) colors of the plants set against solid-black backgrounds look much more like paintings than photos.

For more information, go to vpriv.com. VPRIV is available by prescription only. IndIcatIon VPRIV is a hydrolytic lysosomal glucocerebroside- specific enzyme indicated for long-term enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for pediatric and adult patients with type 1 Gaucher disease. Important Safety InformatIon The most serious side effects seen in patients in clinical trials with VPRIV were allergic reactions. Patients who have experienced allergic reactions to VPRIV or to other enzyme replacement therapy should proceed with caution. The most common side effects observed in clinical trials in patients treated with VPRIV were infusion-related and included: headache, dizziness, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, nausea, weakness/fatigue, and fever. Generally, infusion-related reactions were mild and, in newly treated patients, occurred mostly during the first 6 months of treatment and tended to occur less frequently with time. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088. Please see Brief Summary of the full Prescribing Information on reverse side for additional Important Safety Information. VPRIV® (velaglucerase alfa for injection) Rx Only BRIEF SUMMARY: Consult the Full Prescribing Information for complete product information. Less common adverse reactions affecting more than one patient (>3% in the treatment-naïve group and >2% in the patients switched from imiglucerase to VPRIV treatment) were bone pain, tachycardia, rash, INDICATIONS AND USAGE urticaria, flushing, hypertension, and hypotension. VPRIV is a hydrolytic lysosomal glucocerebroside-specific enzyme indicated for long-term enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for pediatric and adult patients with type 1 Gaucher disease. Pediatric Patients All adult adverse reactions to VPRIV are considered relevant to pediatric patients (ages 4 to 17 years). DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Adverse reactions more commonly seen in pediatric patients compared to adult patients include (>10% The recommended dose is 60 Units/kg administered every other week as a 60-minute intravenous infusion. difference): upper respiratory tract infection, rash, aPTT prolonged, and pyrexia. Patients currently being treated with imiglucerase for type 1 Gaucher disease may be switched to VPRIV. Immunogenicity Patients previously treated on a stable dose of imiglucerase are recommended to begin treatment with VPRIV As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a potential for immunogenicity. In clinical studies, at that same dose when they switch from imiglucerase to VPRIV. 1 of 54 treatment-naïve patients treated with VPRIV developed IgG class antibodies to VPRIV. In this patient, Dosage adjustments can be made based on achievement and maintenance of each patient’s the antibodies were determined to be neutralizing in an in vitro assay. No infusion-related reactions were therapeutic goals. Clinical studies have evaluated doses ranging from 15 Units/kg to 60 Units/kg reported for this patient. It is unknown if the presence of IgG antibodies to VPRIV is associated with a higher every other week. risk of infusion reactions. Patients with an immune response to other enzyme replacement therapies who are switching to VPRIV should continue to be monitored for antibodies. VPRIV should be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Immunogenicity assay results are highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, CONTRAINDICATIONS the observed incidence of antibody positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors, including None. assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to VPRIV with the incidence of antibodies Hypersensitivity Reactions to other products may be misleading. Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients in clinical studies with VPRIV [see ADVERSE DRUG INTERACTIONS REACTIONS]. As with any intravenous protein product, hypersensitivity reactions are possible, therefore No drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted. appropriate medical support should be readily available when VPRIV is administered. If a severe reaction occurs, current medical standards for emergency treatment are to be followed. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category B.

First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

The motives for the grant were to aid worthy poor in England, to strengthen the colonies, increase imperial trade and navigation, and to provide a buffer for Carolina against Spanish Florida. Even though the King had granted the charter for the colony, Oglethorpe wanted to get the consent of the Indians inhabiting the area.
