Question: How important is image to the success of an author?
Crosley: I think a back story is important to success. I think I know for me, people have developed a sort of tempest in a teapot kid of lore about how I got published. It can be very frustrating because it can cannibalize and find its way into legitimate reviews. You'd like to think that book review sections exist in sort of a vacuum. It's like 12 angry men somewhere but it's not. They read the same thing you read and the same thing I read. So that's just annoying in terms of just real estate-wise. It can take up a lot of a review. But that review might not have existed were it not for the back story, so it's totally impossible to tell how much it's helping and how much it's hurting to have that kind of thing. In terms of image, in terms of appearance. I think it's important for I guess hype reasons. It's a vehicle to get people to the book. But so is everything. The cover is a vehicle. The title, everything is a foot in the door, and then if you walk into an empty room, you leave. That's really all there is to it. That's all there is to marketing. It's funny. My boss always says that the funniest thing about our jobs is that no one has any idea what we do, which is true because there'll be a lot of people who say "Can we do this with this book? Don't you think the Wall Street Journal should cover it? Don't you think it should be on Oprah?" Yes, I do think those things and it's difficult. The best part of publicity, when it's most fun, is when it snowballs. It's such an uphill climb, especially paperback publicity is such an uphill climb and it's really difficult. But then if a book starts to take off and you have one big media hit and then another, my job gets really fun and it's like chum in the water. And you start looking around and you're like okay, who hasn't covered this and it's the best feeling ever because you actually feel like you're getting someone to read something that you care about. Then the next day you go back to being a glorified Avon lady, just calling people and begging them for just a little bit of coverage of this reissue of a collection of Icelandic short stories. Please, God.
Crosley: No. I don't even know what that means. I feel like I have a good relationship and really enjoy my job, and have a good relationship with the people that make those decisions. And when you do this job for long enough, you can work it backwards. You can see a byline or an article and you can see how it was pitched. You can see someone clearly approached that person to write this piece; they didn't pitch it. Or you can see how they needed to get something in order to do it and in my case, to me it seems crystal clear that I have a combination of really good work contacts and a couple of sincere friends who work at the New York Observer. I think that they were in a meeting and someone said Sloan has a book coming out and someone else said hey, I know her. I think it's a little bit more than that. I think it's a little bit more widespread. I don't want to sell myself too short but not by a whole lot. Isn't Ken Sunshine or somebody like that the most popular publicist? I will say that Sweet Smell of Success is one of my favorite movies. It's a fantastic movie but I don't think I'm quite at the level where someone's going to let me hijack their column and let me write it.
From "glorified Avon Lady" to successful author.

Wheat is one of the most important global agricultural commodities, as this resource is a dietary staple in both developed and emerging markets. Because it is used so widely in the production of food, wheat has appeal as a hedge against inflation.
Wheat prices have shown significant volatility historically, as the supply side of the equation is subject to significant disruptions from extreme weather or other natural disasters. Wheat demand can also fluctuate depending on the health of the global economy.
There are a number of options for investors seeking out wheat exposure; in addition to the liquid futures market, multiple exchange-traded products are available.
We currently do not have any news for Wheat.

Molecular Interventions
Christina Annunziata brings her unique expertise to bear on the problem of ovarian cancer.
"Inside the Beltway" is a phrase normally reserved for discussions of national politics, referring as it does to the highway that surrounds the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Christina Annunziata, M.D., Ph.D., however, has developed her career inside the Beltway as a physician-scientist—first as a medical student and resident at Georgetown University, then rising through the ranks of training and career opportunities within the NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP) to become a tenure-track Investigator.
Over the years, Annunziata's clinical responsibilities have involved her in many trials of investigational drugs with diverse targets, but her own research has remained focused on the NF-κB family of transcription factors. As a student, she studied NF-κB signaling in Hodgkin disease. As a Medical Oncology Fellow with Louis Staudt, M.D., Ph.D., she studied NF-κB in another blood cancer, multiple myeloma.
Now her own laboratory investigates the role of NF-κB signaling in ovarian cancer. "While working in the Staudt laboratory, I was also seeing patients with ovarian cancer as part of my clinical duties. I began to wonder whether NF-κB might play a role in this disease."
Annunziata believes that understanding the nuances of NF-κB function in distinct cell types is key to its value as a therapeutic target. "NF-κB is a very interesting family of molecules. It consists of five subunits that form various combinations of dimers capable of coordinating the expression of multiple genes. NF-κB signaling is important for many different cell types. However, the pathway functions differently according to cell type."
Annunziata and her team found that they could define a distinct gene expression signature that reflected increased NF-κB signaling in ovarian cancer cell lines and that disrupting this signature affected measures of cancer aggressiveness. The signature included genes associated with proliferation, survival, inflammation, adhesion, invasion, and angiogenesis—all the hallmarks of cancer. In collaboration with former IRP colleague Michael Birrer, M.D., Ph.D., now at the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center, they found that this same NF-κB signature in primary tumors is associated with poor prognosis.
"There aren't many direct NF-κB inhibitors available, mainly because of issues related to toxicity. So, we're looking at other points in the pathway that might be more amenable to therapeutic intervention," explained Annunziata. She is currently working with an investigational drug from Tetralogic Pharmaceuticals, TL-32711, which mimics the cell-signaling molecule, Smac. Under certain conditions, Smac shifts the balance of cell signaling from NF-κB -related proliferation to controlled cell death, exactly the shift that should stop cancer in its tracks.
Annunziata and her team are now studying the effects of Smac mimetics in ovarian cancer cell lines and also planning experiments in mouse models. If, as they predict, these drugs alter the NF-κB gene signature and associated cellular activity, the next step will be to move their work into human trials for recurrent ovarian cancer.
"Our hypothesis would be that patients with the highest levels of NF-κB activity would be most responsive to the drug," said Annunziata who is acutely aware of the molecular heterogeneity of ovarian cancers. "It might be that only five percent of ovarian cancers will respond to a particular drug so, appropriate molecular testing is critical otherwise clinical trials will only ever see very low success rates," she explained. They plan to hone in on the most responsive patient population by studying treatment response relative to the level of gene expression from an initial biopsy.
It is also often the case that a tumor evolves to evade a particular drug, which requires switching to another drug or another combination of drugs. "So, options are important," concluded Annunziata, "which is one reason I continue to pursue my work in NF-κB. My personal goal, probably like many of my colleagues in the IRP, is to bring my research into the clinic."
Christina Annunziata, M.D., Ph.D., is an Investigator in the Center for Cancer Research (CCR) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
