  <description>&lt;img src=&quot;/images/highlights/christiebrinkley/pics1.gif&quot; align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;The children of today face an unprecedented health crisis:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- Less than 2% of children are eating in line with the food pyramid&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- &#189; of children between the ages of 2 - 15 have fatty streaks in their arteries, literally, the beginning stages of heart disease&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; 
- 30 - 40% of all children born in 2000 are expected to acquire type 2 diabetes at some point in their lives, and for African Americans and Hispanics, the numbers are even more frightening - 40 -53% will get type 2 diabetes&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- Cancer is expected to increase by 50% by the year 2020&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Environmental factors including pesticides, cleaning products and diesel from school buses also contributes to poor health in children, including asthma and potentially cancer.  NYC school children have the highest rates of asthma in the country.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Children who eat breakfast and lunch at school eat nearly half of their meals at school each week while school is in session, but it's not just the meals that are the problem, the whole school food environment can contribute to poor health in children: class parties, fundraising with food, a la carte lines in the cafeteria, school stores, food used as rewards, idling school buses, pesticides, and cleaning products.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&quot;If we don't model what we teach, then we're teaching something else.&quot; ~ author unknown&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The New York Coalition for Healthy School Food (NYCHSF) is a statewide nonprofit that works to improve the health and well-being of New York's students by advocating for healthy plant-based foods, farm to school programs (including organic where possible), the elimination of unhealthy competitive foods in all areas of the school (not just the cafeteria), comprehensive nutrition policy, and education to create food- and health-literate students. Such changes result in better health, better grades, and better behavior. NYCHSF provides educational resources,  information, and presentations to parents, students, teachers, food service directors and administrators for making positive changes; advocates for more funding for school foods; and for all foods to be healthy choices.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wellness in the Schools (WITS) is a parent-run nonprofit involved with children's environmental health, nutrition and fitness in the New York City public schools. We are currently spearheading the first green cleaning initiative in the NYC public schools called Clean, Green Schools. We are advocating cleaner-fueled school buses, which will not only protect our children's health, but also will help fight global warming. In addition, we are passionate in our pursuit of healthier school food for all NYC school children. Our goal is to create healthier schools for New York City's 1.1 million students.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; These two organizations that focus on our children are joining forces with Christie Brinkley who is of course well known for her commitment to healthy living and an unwavering support of the environment. From travel to fine dining to incredible merchandise, we are proud to be working with Christie Brinkley and both The New York Coalition for Healthy School Food and Wellness in the Schools.

      <name>Meet President Clinton After he Delivers an Incredible Speech</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Through the William J. Clinton Foundation, President Clinton promotes the values of fairness and opportunity for all. His vision is the Foundation's mission: to strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence. Together with the generosity of citizens and volunteers, President Clinton and the Foundation are vigorously working to advance those principles that move us beyond differences to a common future of shared responsibility, shared benefits, and shared values.   He shares the goals for this auction of promoting healthy living and eating for our future generation.  As the President stated: &quot;The older I get, especially following my own brush with mortality, the more determined I am to try to prevent anyone younger than me from dying. That's why my foundation is bringing care and treatment to children and adults with HIV/AIDS in the developing world and why I continue to promote religious, racial and ethnic reconciliation in troubled areas. And that's also a big part of why I believe we've got to act now to turn the tide of childhood obesity in America.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  We are incredibly proud and honored to be offering an opportunity to spend time with The President.  The winner of this incredible once in a lifetime experience will be able to experience the legendary Clinton charisma first hand during a speech and meet with The President afterwards.  There is no topic that can not be discussed with truly one of the leading figures of the last century!

      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: Private tour of Peter Max's studio with a signed dedicated poster and dinner for two at Candle 79.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Peter Max is one of the most successful artists in America today. It was his psychedelic style that first launched his career as an art icon in the '60's and landed him on the cover of Life magazine. Since then, Peter Max has enjoyed an exciting career as a painter for U.S. presidents Carter, Ford, Bush, Reagan, and Clinton and as the Official Artist of the Grammys, the World Cup Soccer Tournament, five Super Bowls, the U.S. Tennis Open, the NHL All-Star Game, and most recently the 2006 Olympics. Max's patriotism inspired him to create an annual July 4th tradition of painting the Statue of Liberty, and he personally helped to actualize the statue's restoration. His global vision compelled him to lend his creativity to produce posters for many international events, including the Summit of the Americas, Gorbachev's State of the World Forum, and the United Nations Earth Summit, for which he designed a series of twelve stamps that became the best-selling stamps in U.N. history. His love of the earth and its inhabitants shines through in his vibrant colors and themes that affirm life and love. Always an optimist, Max sees a fabulous new age for the new millennium, filled with enormous possibilities. He also sees a need for a greater responsibility to our planet, and he is ever ready to serve as the &quot;&quot;Global Artist.&quot;&quot; The amazing Peter Max will give you a tour of his New York City studio then you will take home a signed dedicated poster from this iconic art legend. We guarantee an amazing time and a once in a lifetime opportunity to tour Peter Max's studio and take home a dedicated poster! </description>

      <name>Jacob Collins Painting</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description> 

New York artist Jacob Collins (b.1964) paints interiors, still lifes, portraits, figures, and landscapes with unparalleled technical mastery and skill. Throughout his career he has continued his passionate and indefatigable mission to paint what he calls ?Traditional Art?:
art that is real, beautiful, gutsy, well drawn, subtle, humanist, deeply felt, intelligent, slowly learned, and finely made. While reinvigorating the classical ideals of beauty, his paintings demonstrate that the great tradition of realist painting can be fresh and deserving of its place in the canon of contemporary art. In addition to painting full time, Collins is the founder and director of his own private art school, The Water Street Atelier, and has recently co-founded the new Grand Central Academy in New York, paving the way for a new generation of representational artists for whom tradition is held in the highest esteem.</description>

Dr. McDougall has cared for thousands of patients over almost 3 decades of medical practice and has run a highly successful live-in program for more than 17 years. Dr. McDougall has developed a nourishing , low-fat, starch-based diet that not only promotes a broad range of dramatic and lasting health benefits such as weight (fat) loss, but most importantly can also reverse serious illness, such as heart disease, without drugs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


As with many leaders of public opinion, he often finds it necessary to challenge the accepted wisdom of the time, and was one of the first traditional physicians of the medical &quot;establishment&quot; to assert that adoption of a vegetarian diet can reverse unfavorable medical conditions such as heart disease. Medical research is now confirming this assertion. And slowly but surely, medical practitioners are accepting it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


Dr. McDougall is the author of several national bestsellers including: The McDougall Plan: 12 Days to Dynamic Health, McDougall's Medicine: A Challenging Second Opinion, The McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss, The New McDougall Cookbook, The McDougall Program for Women, and his latest ground breaking book, The McDougall Program for a Healthy Heart.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


A graduate of Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine, he performed his internship at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, and his medical residency at the University of Hawaii. He is certified as an internist by the Board of Internal Medicine and the National Board of Medical Examiners.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


To make it easier for people to eat well on the go, Dr. McDougall co-founded Dr. McDougall's Right Food's Inc., a producer of high quality vegetarian cuisine. The convenience meals are consistent with his health-supporting guidelines of 10% or less calories from fat, strictly vegetarian so there's no cholesterol, and no added oils. Dr. McDougall is the Chairman of the Company. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <name>Lunch with Dirty Sexy Money star Billy  Baldwin</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes: Lunch with Billy Baldwin in LA.  Valid for two people for one year, based on availability.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; William Baldwin has distinguished himself as an actor/ producer/writer who continues to showcase his multitude of talents in the world of film and television.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Baldwin can be seen in the following upcoming independent films -- he co-stars with Tim Robbins, William Hurt and Bridget Moynahan in the Henry Bean-directed black comedy &quot;Noise,&quot; as well as &quot;American Fork,&quot; which was an official selection in the 2007 Slamdance Film Festival and the HBO Comedy Arts Festival.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Baldwin makes his television series debut starring in the highly-anticipated ABC series, &quot;Dirty Sexy Money,&quot; opposite Jill Clayburgh, Donald Sutherland and Peter Krause. The tongue-in-cheek drama focuses on the wealth, power &amp; privilege of the fictional Darling family of New York City- and the idealistic lawyer who works for them. Baldwin portrays Patrick Darling, the state Attorney General pondering a Senate run - who is also harboring a multitude of scandalous secrets. The show has been called a mixture of &quot;Dynasty,&quot; &quot;Desperate Housewives&quot; and &quot;Six Feet Under.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Baldwin is also partnered with Chazz Palminteri in writing and producing a drama series for Fox Television Studios. In 2005, Baldwin memorably starred with Laura Linney and Jeff Daniels in the critical award-winning hit film &quot;The Squid &amp; The Whale.&quot; The drama, directed by Noah Baumbach and produced by Wes Anderson, was recognized on over 200 Top 10 Lists that year.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Baldwin has starred in over 25 films of varied genres. He appeared in the screen adaptation of Noel Coward?s &quot;Relative Values&quot; with Steven Fry, Colin Firth and Julie Andrews; the Irish Hell's Kitchen drama &quot;One Eyed King&quot; with Chazz Palminteri and Armand Assante; and &quot;The Brotherhood of Murder,&quot; a drama about a breakaway faction of the Aryan Nation with Peter Gallagher and Kelly Lynch. Other film credits include &quot;Backdraft,&quot; &quot;Curdled,&quot; &quot;Virus,&quot; &quot;Pyromaniacs: A Love Story,&quot; &quot;Shattered Image,&quot; &quot;Double Bang,&quot; &quot;Fair Game,&quot; &quot;Sliver,&quot; &quot;Three of Hearts,&quot; &quot;Flatliners,&quot; &quot;Internal Affairs,&quot; and the &quot;The Preppy Murder.&quot; He made his feature film debut in Oliver Stone's &quot;Born on the Fourth of July.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <name>Land a Spot in the New Sorvino Reality TV Show, </name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>You've seen Paul Sorvino in GoodFellas and Law and Order, but you've never seen him get down on his 56 acre ranch, &quot;HorseFellas&quot; style! Now is your chance to experience a day in the life of a working horse rescue ranch, with the bossman himself, Paulie. Come tour this amazing animal compound with Paul and his daughter, Amanda. The dynamic father-daughter duo produced the hip flick, The Trouble with Cali written by Amanda and directed by Paul, in the winter of 2007. Now that the movie is in post-production, the Sorvino team is working together again, this time for the animals, in an edgy yet hilarious reality TV show called The Goodfather.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

In a typical episode, Paul and Amanda are called to the trenches of urgent animal rescues, going &quot;undercover&quot; to spring animals from shady characters, horse killers and old timer puppy millers. But sometimes  there's enough drama back at the ranch to justify filming an entire episode on the home front with 10 rescued horses, a Holstein Heifer named Christmas, a rescued veal calf, and a pack of ex-shelter dogs  Come and join the adventures at Sorvino's family farm, HorseFellas ... Take a casual riding lesson with HorseFellas' own, Valerie Wierzbicki, or a dressage lesson with &quot;r&quot; dressage judge and trainer, Melissa Van De Wal. Meet and ride the ex-racehorses who were led out of the slaughter trucks and into Paulie's horse-heaven-on earth compound. Feed Christmas Cow and Frosting Calf some peppermints, and meet Unicorn, the up and coming white shepherd star of The Goodfather. Pose for The Goodfather poster photo shoot directed by acclaimed pet photographer, Jacqueline Dormer. Take a tour of the Sorvino sculpting studio, and if you decide to adopt an ex-slaughter-bound racehorse, and you are approved, you can make arrangements for Paulie to create a personalized, bronzed sculpture of you and your adopted horse! Before leaving the compound, you will be sent on your way with a &quot;HorseFellas Saddle Bag,&quot; filled to the brim with fun horsey goodies, including a rolled up and autographed Goodfather poster, featuring YOU! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to become a reality TV show star, while joining the Sorvino family for a day in their quest to save horses, cows, dogs, and nurse mare foals. And although The Goodfather goes undercover to expose the darker side of the horse biz, the show itself is a hilarious, fun, and heartwarming. You'll see Paul Sorvino like you've never seen him before .. as a gun-toting cowboy from the deep south who gets down with the most notorious horse traders in town! Bring your riding chaps for this one -- and your cowboy hats! Start working on your best Texan accent! You'll never land another TV role like this one again ... guaranteed!
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <name>Visit &quot;The Nightclub of New York&quot;, Feinstein's at Loews Regency and meet Michael Feinstein</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>Includes:  2 tickets to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feinsteinsatloewsregency.com&quot;target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Feinstein's at Loews Regency &lt;/a&gt;; dinner any Tuesday - Thursday during December; meet &amp; greet and photo op after (please bring your own camera).  Drinks, tax and gratuity on full meal value not included. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

There was a time when a great hotel was known by its nightclub: the Empire Room at the Waldorf, the Persian Room at the Plaza, the Royal Box at the Americana. People &quot;dressed to the nines&quot; for what they knew would be a memorable evening out.  Feinstein's is now that place in New York: the next generation of great supper clubs. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The total experience of an evening at Feinstein's at Loews Regency - a wonderful performance in an intimate space by a great entertainer, fine food, the most attentive waitstaff in town, all occurring in a supremely sophisticated &quot;only in New York&quot; environment - is a unique reflection of what is best about New York City. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Michael Feinstein, one of the premiere interpreters of American popular song, has been a household name since the success of his 1988 one-man Broadway show, Isn't It Romantic.  He enjoys an active performance calendar, including major concert halls, symphony orchestras, intimate jazz clubs and college campuses.  More than a mere performer, he is nationally recognized for his commitment to the American popular song, both celebrating its art and preserving its legacy for the next generation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

 

Enjoy an evening for 2 at Feinstein's at Loews and meet and have your picture taken with the man himself, Michael Feinstein!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <name>Necklace by NYC Jewelry Designer Renee Lewis</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description> 

Renee Lewis' jewelry is all one of a kind. Each piece is unique, and her jewelry has been worn by Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, R&amp;B singer Faith Evans, No Doubt's Gwen Stefani, and many others. &quot;I always place a small diamond on the side of my necklaces-slightly off center-so that the twinkle comes from an unexpected part of the neck and catches you by surprise. It's magical and sexy, I compare it to Cindy Crawford's beauty mark- she doesn't need it, but it sends you over the edge.&quot; Such analogies are not uncommon for the loquacious Lewis, who is quite magical herself. Like her modern, sensual jewelry, Lewis is truly one of a kind. To make her jewelry, she uses parts from Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian designs. Every single element is one to four centuries old, Lewis says. Lewis was drawn to working with vintage materials because she always liked things made in candle light and given in love. &quot;My jewelry is sexy-I've been saying it for years,&quot; Lewis said. &quot;It's not overtly sexual; it's sensual. It's about you, what you're wearing. It's about who you are. It's not screaming about what it is.&quot; Lewis works only with antique diamonds. &quot;I abhor new diamonds,&quot; she declares. While her insistence on working with vintage stones exclusively can pose challenges because of their limited availability, she nevertheless adheres to her rule. Newly mined diamonds are often altered through heat treatment or laser-filling, and they radiate an intense sparkle that can seem artificial. Lewis jewelry is available in Barney's New York.

      <name>Meet Alicia Keys Ater Attending a Concert</name>
      <short_description></short_description>
      <description>
Enjoy prime seating at an Alicia Keys concert with a friend. After the concert, meet Alicia and get your picture taken with her (bring your own camera). Go home with signed CD?s and an autographed picture. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
 

Alicia Key's artistic light is so bright it could illuminate a pitch-black room. A true musical prodigy whose multi-dimensional gifts emerged at age five, the beautiful Alicia has taken modern R&amp;B soul to a whole new level.Born aware of her old soul, yet living in New York's inner city amidst the dominance of Biggie and Jay Z, Alicia's natural talents blossomed into a rare mix of hip-hop flavor and insightful, wise-beyond-her-years songwriting. Coupling this with the singer's spine-tingling vocal power, positively stirring live performances and expertise as a classically trained pianist, Alicia Keys could be this generation's Roberta Flack.
