Article: Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 and anaphylactoid reaction in rats and mice after intravenous dextran and white egg administration[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Anesthetized mice or rats received intravenously 6%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 90% dextran and/or white egg (1ml/rat or 0.15ml/mouse) into their tails. Medication (/kg b.w., 5ml/kg) was given intraperitoneally (BPC 157 10µg, 1µg, 10ng, 10pg/kg, chloropyramine 20mg/kg, cimetidine 10mg/kg intraperitoneally, alone or in combination while controls received an equivolume of saline), immediately after challenge or, alternatively, at 5min after or 24 or 48h before challenge. The effect was assessed at 5, 10, 20 and 30min after dextran and/or white egg challenge. We commonly noted prominent edema involving the face, upper and lower lip, snout, paws and scrotum (presented with extreme cyanosis), poor respiration and the number of fatalities after dextran and/or white egg application. Contrary, BPC 157 regimens (10µg, 1µg, 10ng, 10pg/kg) effectively, may both prevent anaphylactoid reactions that may arise from dextran and/or white egg application and furthermore, rescue already advanced reactions when given after the challenge. Chloropyramine and cimetidine given alone were only moderately effective. When given together with BPC 157, the observed effect correlates with the strong effect of BPC 157 given alone.European journal of pharmacology 01/2014; 28(1).

Article: Stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 heals cysteamine-colitis and colon-colon-anastomosis and counteracts cuprizone brain injuries and motor disability.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 was suggested to link inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis, and thereby, shown to equally counteract the models of both of those diseases. For colitis, cysteamine (400 mg/kg intrarectally (1 ml/rat)) and colon-colon anastomosis (sacrifice at day 3, 5, 7, and 14) were used. BPC 157 (10 μg/kg, 10 ng/kg) was applied either intraperitoneally once time daily (first application immediately after surgery, last at 24 hours before sacrifice) or per-orally in drinking water (0.16 μg/ml/12 ml/day till the sacrifice) while controls simultaneously received an equivolume of saline (5 ml/kg) intraperitoneally or drinking water only (12 ml/day). A multiple sclerosis suited toxic rat model, cuprizone (compared with standard, a several times higher regimen, 2.5% of diet regimen + 1 g/kg intragastrically/day) was combined with BPC 157 (in drinking water 0.16 μg or 0.16 ng/ml/12 ml/day/rat + 10 μg or 10 ng/kg intragastrically/day) till the sacrifice at day 4. In general, the controls could not heal cysteamine colitis and colon-colon anastomosis. BPC 157 induced an efficient healing of both at the same time. Likewise, cuprizone-controls clearly exhibited an exaggerated and accelerated damaging process; nerve damage appeared in various brain areas, with most prominent damage in corpus callosum, laterodorsal thalamus, nucleus reunions, anterior horn motor neurons. BPC 157-cuprizone rats had consistently less nerve damage in all damaged areas, especially in those areas that otherwise were most affected. Consistently, BPC 157 counteracted cerebellar ataxia and impaired forelimb function. Thereby, this experimental evidence advocates BPC 157 in both inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis therapy.Journal of physiology and pharmacology: an official journal of the Polish Physiological Society 10/2013; 64(5):597-612. · 2.48 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The healing effect of BPC 157 on rat femoral head osteonecrosis was monitored by Raman spectroscopy. Three groups of rats were defined: an injured group treated with BPC 157 (10 μg/kg/daily ip), an injured control group (treated with saline, 5 ml/kg/daily ip), and an uninjured healthy group. The spectra were recorded and the healing effect assessed on samples harvested from animals which were sacrificed 3 and 6 weeks after being injured. The statistical analysis of the recorded spectra showed statistical differences between the BPC 157-treated, control, and healthy groups of animals. In particular, after 6 weeks the spectral resemblance between the healthy and BPC 157 samples indicated a positive BPC 157 influence on the healing process of rat femoral head.Journal of Molecular Structure 07/2013; 1044:308–313.

ABSTRACT: We reviewed stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157-NO-system-relation, its close participation in Moncada's (maintained vascular integrity, platelets control) homeostatic healing response of NO-system to injury. Namely, BPC 157 particular healing effect also affects all events after vascular integrity loss (dependent on circumstances, it reduces either thrombosis (abdominal aorta anastomosis) or bleeding/thrombocytopenia (amputation, heparin, warfarin, aspirin)) and in a series of different injurious models, acute and chronic, BPC 157 consistently advances healing after severe injuries in various tissues spontaneously unable to heal; stimulates egr-1 and naB2 genes; exhibits high safety (LD1 not achieved)). Hypothesis, that BPC 157 (since formed constitutively in the gastric mucosa, stable in human gastric juice, along with significance of NO-synthase and the basal formation of NO in stomach mucosa, greater than that seen in other tissues) exhibits a general, effective competing both with L-arginine analogues (i. e. , L-NAME) and L-arginine, and that this has some physiologic importance (NO-generation), later, practically supports its beneficial effects illustrating BPC 157 and NO-system mutual (with L-NAME/L-arginine; alone and together) relations in (i) gastric mucosa and mucosal protection, following alcohol lesions, in cytoprotection course, NO-generation, and blood pressure regulation; (ii) alcohol acute/chronic intoxication, and withdrawal; (iii) cardiovascular disturbances, chronic heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and arrhythmias; (iv) disturbances after hypokalemia and hyperkalemia, and potassium-cell membrane dysfunction; and finally, in (v) complex healing failure, proved by the fistulas healing, colocutaneous and esophagocutaneous. However, how this advantage of modulating NO-system (i. e. , particular effect on eNOS gene), may be practically translated into an enhanced clinical performance remains to be determined.Current pharmaceutical design 06/2013; DOI:10.2174/13816128113190990411 · 4.41 Impact Factor
Article: BPC 157 AND BLOOD VESSELS.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This review focuses on the described effects of BPC 157 on blood vessels after different types of damage, and elucidates by investigating different aspects of vascular response to injury (endothelium damage, clotting, thrombosis, vasoconstriction, vasodilatation, vasculoneogenesis and edema formation) especially in connection to the healing processes. In this respect, BPC 157 was concluded to be the most potent angiomodulatory agent, acting through different vasoactive pathways and systems (e.g. NO, VEGF, FAK) and leading to optimization of the vascular response followed, as it has to be expected, by optimization of the healing process.Current pharmaceutical design 06/2013; DOI:10.2174/13816128113199990421 · 4.41 Impact Factor
Article: Salutary effect of gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 in two different stress urinary incontinence models in female rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Since an originally anti-ulcer stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (PL 14736) was shown to promote healing of injured striated muscle and smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal tract, we explored its therapeutic potentials for leak point pressure (LPP) recovery in rat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after transabdominal urethrolysis (TU) and prolonged vaginal dilatation (VD). Material and Methods During a 7-day period, TU-rats and VD-rats (or healthy rats) received BPC 157, either (i) intraperitoneally, 10 µg/kg or 10 ng/kg, once daily (first administration 30 min after surgery, last 24 h before LPP-testing and sacrifice), or (ii) per-orally, 10 µg/kg in drinking water (0.16 µg/mL, 12 mL/rat/day). Vesicourethral segments were harvested for immunohistochemical evaluation. Results All BPC 157 regimens counteracted decrease of LPP values in TU-rats and VD-rats. Additionally, BPC 157-TU rats (µg-intraperitoneally or per-orally) and BPC 157-VD rats (µg intraperitoneally) reached LPP values originally noted in healthy rats. Conversely, in healthy rats, BPC 157 did not alter LPP. Immunohistochemical studies revealed higher desmin (delineates striated organization of skeletal muscle), smooth muscle actin, and CD34 (angiogenic marker) positivity within the urethral wall in BPC 157-treated rats vs. controls, as well as overall preserved muscle/connective tissue ratio assessed with Mallory's trichrome staining. Conclusions Pentadecapeptide BPC 157, applied parenterally or per-orally, appears to ameliorate the SUI in rat models, improving the otherwise detrimental course of healing after VD and TU, which may be analogous to human injury. These beneficial effects may possibly be selectively used in future strategies for treatment of SUI.03/2013; 19:93-102.

Article: Mortal hyperkalemia disturbances in rats are NO-system related. The life saving effect of pentadecapeptide BPC 157.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We demonstrate the full counteracting ability of stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 against KCl-overdose (intraperitoneal (i), intragastric (ii), in vitro (iii)), NO-system related. (i) We demonstrated potential (/kg) of: BPC 157 (10ng, 10μg ip, complete counteraction), L-arginine (100mg ip, attenuation) vs. L-NAME (5mg ip, deadly aggravation), given alone and/or combined, before or after intraperitoneal KCl-solution application (9mEq/kg). Therapy was confronted with promptly unrelenting hyperkalemia (>12mmol/L), arrhythmias (and muscular weakness, hypertension, low pressure in lower esophageal and pyloric sphincter) with an ultimate and a regularly inevitable lethal outcome within 30minutes. Previously, we established BPC 157-NO-system interaction; now, a huge life-saving potential. Given 30min before KCl, all BPC 157 regimens regain sinus rhythm, less prolongation of QRS, no asystolic pause. BPC 157 therapy, given 10min after KCl-application, starts the rescue within 5-10minutes, completely restoring normal sinus rhythm at 1h. Likewise, other hyperkalemia-disturbances (muscular weakness, hypertension, low sphincteric pressure) were also counteracted. Accordingly with NO-system relation, deadly aggravation by L-NAME: L-arginine brings to the controls values while BPC 157 always completely nullified lesions, markedly below those of controls. Combined with L-arginine, BPC 157 exhibited no additive effect. (ii) Intragastric KCl-solution application (27mEq/kg)-(hyperkalemia 7mmol/L): severe stomach mucosal lesions, sphincters failure and peaked T waves were fully counteracted by intragastric BPC 157 (10ng, 10μg) application, given 30min before or 10min after KCl. (iii). In HEK293 cells, hyperkalemic conditions (18.6mM potassium concentrations), BPC 157 directly affects potassium conductance, counteracting the effect on membrane potential and depolarizations caused by hyperkalemic conditions.Regulatory Peptides 01/2013; DOI:10.1016/j.regpep.2012.12.007 · 2.01 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 is an anti-ulcer peptidergic agent, proven in clinical trials to be both safe in inflammatory bowel disease (PL-10, PLD-116, PL 14736) and wound healing, stable in human gastric juice, with no toxicity being reported. Recently, we claim that BPC 157 may be used as an antidote against NSAIDs. We focused on BPC 157 beneficial effects on stomach, duodenum, intestine, liver and brain injuries, adjuvant arthritis, pain, hyper/hypothermia, obstructive thrombus formation and thrombolysis, blood vessel function, counteraction of prolonged bleeding and thrombocytopenia after application of various anticoagulants and anti-platelet agents and wound healing improvement. The arguments for BPC 157 antidote activity (i.e., the role of BPC 157 in cytoprotection, being a novel mediator of Roberts cytoprotection and BPC 157 beneficial effects on NSAID mediated lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, liver and brain and finally, counteraction of aspirin-induced prolonged bleeding and thrombocytopenia) obviously have a counteracting effect on several established side-effects of NSAID use. The mentioned variety of the beneficial effects portrayed by BPC 157 may well be a foundation for establishing BPC 157 as a NSAID antidote since no other single agent has portrayed a similar array of effects. Unlike NSAIDs, a very high safety (no reported toxicity (LD1 could be not achieved)) profile is reported for BPC 157. Also, unlike the different dosage levels of aspirin, as a NSAID prototype, which differ by a factor of about ten, all these beneficial and counteracting effects of BPC 157 were obtained using the equipotent dosage (µg, ng/kg) in parenteral or peroral regimens.Current pharmaceutical design 08/2012; DOI:10.2174/13816128130111 · 4.41 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, M.W. 1419) may be the new drug stable in human gastric juice, effective both in the upper and lower GI tract, and free of side effects. BPC 157, in addition to an antiulcer effect efficient in therapy of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (PL 14736) so far only tested in clinical phase II, has a very safe profile, and exhibited a particular wound healing effect. It also has shown to interact with the NO-system, providing endothelium protection and angiogenic effect, even in severely impaired conditions (i.e., it stimulated expression of early growth response 1 gene responsible for cytokine and growth factor generation and early extracellular matrix (collagen) formation (but also its repressor nerve growth factor 1-A binding protein-2)), important to counteract severe complications of advanced and poorly controlled IBD. Hopefully, the lessons from animal studies, particularly advanced intestinal anastomosis healing, reversed short bowel syndrome and fistula healing indicate BPC 157's high significance in further IBD therapy. Also, this supportive evidence (i.e., no toxic effect, limit test negative, LD1 not achieved, no side effect in trials) may counteract the problems commonly exercised in the use of peptidergic agents, particularly those used on a long-term basis.Current Medicinal Chemistry 01/2012; 19(1):126-32.

Article: BPC 157 therapy to detriment sphincters failure-esophagitis-pancreatitis in rat and acute pancreatitis patients low sphincters pressure.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Possibly, acute esophagitis and pancreatitis cause each other, and we focused on sphincteric failure as the common causative key able to induce either esophagitis and acute pancreatitis or both of them, and thereby investigate the presence of a common therapy nominator. This may be an anti-ulcer pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (tested for inflammatory bowel disease, wound treatment) affecting esophagitis, lower esophageal and pyloric sphincters failure and acute pancreatitis (10 μg/kg, 10 ng/kg intraperitoneally or in drinking water). The esophagitis-sphincter failure procedure (i.e., insertion of the tubes into the sphincters, lower esophageal and pyloric) and acute pancreatitis procedure (i.e., bile duct ligation) were combined in rats. Esophageal manometry was done in acute pancreatitis patients. In rats acute pancreatitis procedure produced also esophagitis and both sphincter failure, decreased pressure 24 h post-surgery. Furthermore, bile duct ligation alone immediately declines the pressure in both sphincters. Vice versa, the esophagitis-sphincter failure procedure alone produced acute pancreatitis. What's more, these lesions (esophagitis, sphincter failure, acute pancreatitis when combined) aggravate each other (tubes into sphincters and ligated bile duct). Counteraction occurred by BPC 157 therapies. In acute pancreatitis patients lower pressure at rest was in both esophageal sphincters in acute pancreatitis patients. We conclude that BPC 157 could cure esophagitis/sphincter/acute pancreatitis healing failure.Journal of physiology and pharmacology: an official journal of the Polish Physiological Society 10/2011; 62(5):527-34. · 2.48 Impact Factor
Article: Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 reduces bleeding time and thrombocytopenia after amputation in rats treated with heparin, warfarin or aspirin[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recently, in rat abdominal aorta terminoterminal-anastomosis the stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 prevents obstructive thrombus formation and rapidly destroys already formed obstructive thrombus. Also, BPC 157 wound healing may signify the clot as conductive matrix or "scaffold" to speed up wound healing process, and decrease bleeding. Here, in rats, BPC 157 (10 μg/kg, 10 ng/kg) improved always reduced bleeding time and amount of bleeding after (tail) amputation only, heparin (250 mg/kg, 25mg/kg, 10mg/kg i.v.), warfarin (1.5mg/kg i.g. once daily for 3 consecutive days), aspirin (0.1g/kg i.g. (once daily/3 consecutive days) or 1.0 g/kg i.p. once), and amputation associated with those agents application. BPC 157 counteracting regimens (i.v., i.p., i.g. (immediately after any challenge)) correspondingly follow the route of bleeding-agents application. All heparin-, warfarin-, and aspirin-rats and normal-rats that received BPC 157 exhibited lesser fall in platelets count. BPC 157 attenuated over-increased APTT-, TT-values in 10mg/kg heparin-rats, but did not influence heparin activity (anti-Xa test). Indicatively, unless counteracted in BPC 157 rats, excessive bleeding-acute thrombocytopenia (<20% of initial values in heparin-rats) approaches substantial fall in platelets count known in type II HIT. Also, BPC 157 markedly prolongs the survival time (heparin-rats, 25mg/kg, right foot amputation).Thrombosis Research 08/2011; 129(5):652-9. DOI:10.1016/j.thromres.2011.07.035 · 2.43 Impact Factor
Article: Ibuprofen hepatic encephalopathy, hepatomegaly, gastric lesion and gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 in rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chronic ibuprofen (0.4 g/kg intraperitoneally, once daily for 4 weeks) evidenced a series of pathologies, not previously reported in ibuprofen-dosed rats, namely hepatic encephalopathy, gastric lesions, hepatomegaly, increased AST and ALT serum values with prolonged sedation/unconsciousness, and weight loss. In particular, ibuprofen toxicity was brain edema, particularly in the cerebellum, with the white matter being more affected than in gray matter. In addition, damaged and red neurons, in the absence of anti-inflammatory reaction was observed, particularly in the cerebral cortex and cerebellar nuclei, but was also present although to a lesser extent in the hippocampus, dentate nucleus and Purkinje cells. An anti-ulcer peptide shown to have no toxicity, the stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, MW 1419, 10 μg, 10 ng/kg) inhibited the pathology seen with ibuprofen (i) when given intraperitoneally, immediately after ibuprofen daily or (ii) when given in drinking water (0.16 μg, 0.16 ng/ml). Counteracted were all adverse effects, such as hepatic encephalopathy, the gastric lesions, hepatomegaly, increased liver serum values. In addition, BPC 157 treated rats showed no behavioral disturbances and maintained normal weight gain. Thus, apart from efficacy in inflammatory bowel disease and various wound treatments, BPC 157 was also effective when given after ibuprofen.European journal of pharmacology 05/2011; 667(1-3):322-9.

ABSTRACT: Stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 is an anti-ulcer peptidergic agent, safe in inflammatory bowel disease clinical trials (GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, M.W. 1419, PL 14736) and wound healing, stable in human gastric juice and has no reported toxicity. We focused on BPC 157 as a therapy in peridontitis, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, intestine, liver and pancreas lesions. Particularly, it has a prominent effect on alcohol-lesions (i.e., acute, chronic) and NSAIDs-lesions (interestingly, BPC 157 both prevents and reverses adjuvant arthritis). In rat esophagitis and failed function of both lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and pyloric sphincters (PS), BPC 157 increased pressure in both sphincters till normal and reduced esophagitis. However, in healthy rats, it may decrease (PS) or increase (LES) the pressure in sphincters. It has strong angiogenic potential, it acts protectively on endothelium, prevents and reverses thrombus formation after abdominal aorta anastomosis, affects many central disturbances (i.e., dopamine and 5-HT system), the NO-system (either L-arginine and L-NAME effects), endothelin, acts as a free radical scavenger (counteracting CCl4-, paracetamol-, diclofenac-injuries) and exhibits neuroprotective properties. BPC 157 successfully heals the intestinal anastomosis, gastrocutaneous, duodenocutaneous and colocutaneous fistulas in rats, as well as interacting with the NO-system. Interestingly, the fistula closure was achieved even when the BPC 157 therapy was postponed for one month. In short-bowel syndrome escalating throughout 4 weeks, the constant weight gain above preoperative values started immediately with peroral and parental BPC 157 therapy and the villus height, crypth depth and muscle thickness (inner (circular) muscular layer) additionally increased. Thus, BPC 157 may improve gastrointestinal tract therapy.Current pharmaceutical design 05/2011; 17(16):1612-32. DOI:10.2174/138161211796196954 · 4.41 Impact Factor

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
Elaine spent over 11 years working in television and radio as a producer, writer and correspondent for MTV Asia, KPIX/CBS 5, and radio stations like KSAN and KTCT in San Francisco. After leaving broadcasting, she began working for financial software giant, Intuit, where she managed their customer word-of-mouth programs and then spearheaded their internal social media communication strategies. She's also managed external communications for BlogHer, the largest community of women bloggers online, and is currently the director of corporate communications at Rocket Fuel, a digital advertising technology startup in Silicon Valley. Her personal blog, VirgoBlue , was started in 2007 as a way to express her love of food as she explores the culinary delights of the Bay Area and beyond.
The host and co-creator of the television show "FoodCrafters" and "Ask Aida," she attended Cornell University and then the esteemed Le Cordon Bleu in Paris where she studied culinary AND pastry arts. She ended up in San Francisco when she became one of the editors of the online food magazine, CHOW. Currently, she's working on her first cookbook, tentatively titled, "Keys to the Kitchen," due out in 2012. Here are Aida's top Bay Area spots for food fiends like herself (that aren't restaurants).
The popular Indian food truck Curry Up Now has hit the big time. Their first brick and mortar restaurant opened this past Saturday in downtown San Mateo to long lines out the door. Fortunately, they invited some friends, family and food bloggers for a sneak peak the day before they opened to the public.
An overview of the trend of online coupon sites for restaurant deals. Who benefits and who does not?
Almost every food craving you could ever think of could be satisfied by at least one of the food trucks at any given Off the Grid location in San Francisco. In just a couple of years, OtG in Fort Mason has become the single largest weekly block party for foodies in the Bay Area.
But with almost every food category being represented there, is there fear of street food being a trend that's reaching oversaturation? Off the Grid's man-in-charge, Matt Cohen, says absolutely not.
Osteria Coppa in San Mateo is owned by the folks who run Sam's Chowder House in Half Moon Bay; a Peninsula institution. Executive Chef Chanan Kamen takes pride in his handmade pastas and hand-stretched pizzas, and it shows. His resume includes Michelin-starred Quince and Jardinere in San Francisco, and Picholine and Tabla in New York City.
Ruth Reichl was kind enough to carve out some time to chat with me while on a recent trip to Palo Alto for a speaking engagement. I asked her about how life has changed since the closing of Gourmet magazine, how she feels about food bloggers, and what she really thinks about Ruth Bourdain.
For most Americans, Chinese food is about Fried Rice, Chow Mein and the occasional Kung Pao Chicken. But China's a big country, and just like in the States, each region has its own specialties. The food from Shanghai is no exception. Here are some tried and true favorites you'll find at a typical Shanghainese restaurant. If they do these dishes well, you'll be golden.
From SF Weekly to the Wall Street Journal, the JapaCurry food truck has been getting a lot of press lately for ruffling feathers with San Francisco restaurants located in the areas where the truck is parked.
But one question hasn't been asked much through it all…How's the food?
Can vegans, vegetarians and carnivores really share a foodie-worthy meal at the same table? They certainly can at Gather in Berkeley. And that's just the way Esquire Magazine's 2010 Chef of the Year, and Gather's Executive Chef, Sean Baker, likes it.
As one of the first food trucks to hit the Bay Area culinary scene, Curry Up Now has seen all the trials and tribulations that come with this niche business. They specialize in authentic Indian street food with some fusion elements thrown in for good measure. I sat down with husband and wife team, Rana and Akash Kapoor, to ask them what they've learned, what's next, and why it's all worth it.
Just when you think you've gotten through the most food-filled time of year, the Fancy Food Show descends upon the Bay Area and rears its tasty and gluttonous head.
This amazingly large annual show takes up two entire Moscone Center expo halls and contains 80,000 food and beverage products, 1300 exhibitors and 17,000 attendees.

The Rose City Grand Tour brings hundreds of new customers to small-town businesses.
The Coast's tourism industry is expected to be slightly better than last year.
Farmers market managers say that while the growing season is just beginning to blossom, a wider variety of shoppers are popping up in local markets and vendors are adapting to changing customer needs.
Nonprofits find themselves competing more and more with businesses for customers, and libraries are no exception. However, Oregon's 130 public libraries are thriving and many are expanding an already loyal customer base.
It's good to know you can be 8,000 miles from home and still get Oregon beer.

Actress Kelly McGillis, who came out last year, tied the knot with her partner, Melanie Leis, a sales executive, last week in a civil union ceremony in Collingswood, as reported in the New York Times.
The Top Gun and Witness star, married twice before, told The Inquirer's Carrie Rickey over the summer about her low-key life in Camden County.

There's all kinds of intrigue surrounding the move of Il Pittore -- the Italian concept that Stephen Starr and longtime chef Chris Painter are cooking up.
Last week's news was that Starr had bailed on the initial location, the spot at Third and Bainbridge Streets in Queen Village that formerly housed Ansill. Why? No one is talking.
But Il Pittore has a new home. Just signed and sealed: The project is going into 1221-23 Locust St., which for a generation was the swish French establishment Deux Cheminees. (Early last year, a restaurateur from L.A. had leased the place and started heavy construction before the deal fell through.)

Better late than never, I say.
A year ago, Marc Vetri of Vetri, Osteria, and Amis fame challenged Michael Symon to an Iron Chef battle in Kitchen Stadium.
Food Network says it will be on Oct. 17 at 10 p.m.
Michael Klein, Philly.com
Top Chef winner Kevin Sbraga says he got "two and a half, maybe three hours" sleep last night between between a finale-viewing party at Osteria and the start of a round of media interviews in New York.
Asked what the win would do, he said: "First and foremost, it will help me get my own restaurant, which is what I've always wanted to do. That was the major reason I went on the show."
Since returning to the Philly area in 2004, the Willingboro native, now 31, has worked for Georges Perrier and Jose Garces, and is still listed as executive chef at the Stephen Starr-managed Rat's in Hamilton Township, N.J. I say "still listed" because he was due to leave on Sept. 26, but given the media circus, likely won't be back much.

Talks on S Korea continue
Saturday 03 January 1998
US commercial banks met last night to continue talks on how to help South Korea emerge from its financial crisis, according to reports from New York. The meeting, which followed Monday's gathering of US bankers at the Federal Reserve Bank, reportedly dealt with ways to roll over Korean debt. Bankers agree on the pressing urgency to address Korea's problem of maturing short-term obligations, but the talks will revolve around methods of restructuring the country's public and private debt.
On Monday JP Morgan proposed a mammoth debt offering and swap arrangement. Meanwhile, South Korea reported a record balance of trade surplus in December, as a weaker won made exports cheaper in global markets and led to a steep decline in imports.

Between the Motos: Travis Baker
Racer X Interview
Haley Whisennand / Racer X Online
Hanging on the edge of the top ten for the entire season is a challenge of its own. Eager to bounce back after a difficult 2011 season riddled with inconsistency and injury, Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda's Travis Baker had a decent showing in the West Coast Supercross series, finishing tenth overall. With only the Nationals left before his contract is up, he looked to stay healthy and consistent in 2012. With only four rounds left to the season, Baker is looking to continue improving each week. We caught up with him for this week's Between the Motos.
Racer X: First off, start by telling us how Washougal went for you.
Travis Baker: Washougal was a struggle for me. I qualified tenth, which was pretty good. Top ten, I try to do that every round. Then I went into the motos feeling good, but I crashed on the first lap of both motos. So I came from the back in both motos and ran 14-15 for thirteenth overall. I showed a little bit of speed, but it was a struggle.
Was the reason you crashed on the first lap of both motos the same?
The first lap of the first moto, I washed out my front end. The dirt's tricky there. I just kind of felt like I could run it in. I couldn't, went down. Then second one, just got a bad start and got caught up in all the chaos and some guy just cleaned out my front wheel.
A lot of riders said the track was really one-lined this year. Did you think the same thing?
Yeah, the track was really one-lined. I mean, there were some spots with a couple lines where there's that one really fast line and then one alright line. It was hard to pass guys. The top five guys went fast and then the group from like eighth to fourteenth, where I was, we all stayed in the same line, kind of.
Obviously you're doing a lot better so far this season than you were last year. What was your goal coming into this year?
The goal was to be a top ten guy. I just wanted to do better than that and to keep improving. Last year I struggled with being consistent and getting hurt. So that was my goal this year, stay consistently around tenth and just keep improving and getting better.
Is there anything in particular that you've been struggling with all season?
A little bit. I mean, really just going faster! Those top guys are good. I don't know. I just need to get more speed and build more confidence.
You had your best race at RedBud. Was there something about that day that really suited you?
It was hot. I don't know, I just felt good on the track. Actually, Budds Creek, there and Millville, I felt pretty good. Like I said, I'm taking this year to get better and better.
When I'm at the races, I notice that you and your teammates all seem pretty close. What is it like to have a team that's so close compared to some of the other teams that don't really spend as much time with each other?
Our team is really close. The team manager, mechanics, Troy [Lee] and the riders, we're always joking around. It's a good atmosphere to be around. You've got to keep the fun in the sport you love.
Now you've got a few weeks off before you go into the last leg of the series. What are you going to be doing over the break?
Riding, trying to get faster so I'm not getting smoked and uh [laughs] no, I'm kidding. Just riding and getting better. Then I'll do a little jet skiing. Yeah, just trying to get better.
What are your goals for the end of the season?
I want to be, like I said, in the top ten and just try and get better. I've shown that I can, I just need to do it every round. I've just got to.
When does your contract run till?
This is my last year. I'm trying to figure it all out right now to see what's going on next year. We're talking, but nothing's signed yet.

Great house. Decent location. Love the kitchen besides the little red island that could. Love the interior but the furniture could be on the same level as the home's design.
Oh…it's terribly unbalanced from the outside. it wants to be a castle, and a mountain chalet, and a country house…and it ends up being none of them very well. Looking at the position on the lot, there is plenty of room to put those garage doors off to the side; why the designer didn't I can't imagine.
While I know the inside isn't fully decorated (or even finished), it just looks very cold and unwelcoming. I can't imagine sitting in that great room space and feeling the least bit cozy or comfortable. The library/den flat out gives me the shivers thinking of being in there, and it's not because of the snow outside the window. Even the family room doesn't look welcoming and the red ceiling in the breakfast nook doesn't help. The bedrooms upstairs aren't much better.
It looks like this is the largest house in the area, and the neighborhood seems to contain mostly unremarkable houses otherwise. This house sits right next to a commercial building of some type, which is a huge black mark against any house in this price range.
Completely agree. There's lots of mish mash going on here. Take a look in the kitchen. The Island doesn't look like it belongs at all. You have contemporary windows, along with french provincial mixed together. Another example is the fireplace treatments; all of which are from different periods. It just doesn't work.
One other thing…I think the builder must have gotten into financial trouble with this house.
Outside is pretty ugly and has no flow; the two-story circular window and the slim, almost prison-like windows on the right hand side compete with each other terribly. The rear seems unfinished.
I don't mind the inside. The entrance foyer columns need to go and the living room fireplace is too huge/plain, but I like the openness and materials used. I'm not too fond of the formal dining area being in the same space as the living area; it should have had its own space. The kitchen cabinetry is too bold and those chandeliers are too frilly.
For the asking price it doesn't seem too horrible. I do like the fact that it has a 15-car garage though.
Kenny, that 'mansion of the day' of december 25 is quite something!
The home has some nice features but I couldn't get past the ridiculous little pot on the little table in the entry or the antique baby carriage. Why the $%^& would someone put those in that type of home?
I like this one a lot. Tasteful interior, great location, and a fair price considering what I just said and the amount of square footage.
I think the house looks nice enough for Utah, the price is very good in terms of being able to get alot of house and continue to upgrade it. My biggest drawback as others have said, the exterior could have been magnificent had they stuck to one design and not mixed it up.
I live in Utah and the houses here are beautiful , but I have to be honest I do not like this home, it was foreclosed and unfinished for about a year and someone came in and tried to fix it, even now the yard is unfinished and it's right on a busy street. The builder abviously wanted people to see this before the owners got kicked out.
The layout isn't bad and I actually like the french doors between the dining room and kitchen; that being said, this house is bi-polar, it's either mixture of overly ornate or bland builders grade. The exterior is hideous!

On The Scene: The Beer Business
|| Print |
|On the Scene
|Thursday, June 10, 2010
The Oregon Entrepreneurs Network holds a PubTalk every month. But last night's topic was particularly apropos: the business of beer.
The panel included Irene Firmat of Full Sail Brewing, Jamie Floyd of Ninkasi, and Charlie Devereux of Double Mountain. Oregon's craft beer industry brings $2.3 billion into the state's economy annually and employs 4700 people.
There are 37 craft brewing companies in Portland alone, the highest number of any city in the world.
The beer entrepreneurs spoke to an audience of eager ears: when moderator Lisa Morrison of KXL's Beer O'Clock asked who in the audience was thinking about starting a brewing company, more than half of the hands went up. But how does one go about this venture?
Each of the entrepreneurs had a different story. Firmat started Full Sail in 1987 when the biggest challenge for a craft brewer was finding a market.
"People really didn't understand why we needed to start a small brewery when there were three breweries already here: Anheiser Busch, Miller, and Coors." Now, Full Sail is a well-established company itself, far beyond startup status.
In 2006, Lloyd started Ninkasi in a market that understood the value of craft brews. Lloyd has an almost spiritual view of the value of beer (Ninkasi is the name of the Sumerian goddess of fermentation), and chose the location carefully.
"I really thought Eugene deserved an identity piece."
Ninkasi's dedication to Eugene paid off; much of its funding came from the city's government. And the company has expanded: a questioner at the PubTalk congratulated Floyd and asked him how it is that he sees the beer "everywhere."
Devereux opened Double Mountain just three years ago, after years of dedication to beer brewing and a failed brewery opening on the east coast. Now Double Mountain has a successful brewpub and 200 retail accounts.
Every story is different, but there is advice aplenty for everyone thinking of going into the industry.
"We are a very capital intensive business," said Devereux. "If you want to grow you've got to spend."
The entrepreneurs all agreed on this point. In such a capital-intensive industry, risk exposure is huge.
"The hardest thing to prepare for is success, so plan for it," said Devereux. "All you have to do is stop and you drop the ball."
Other challenges come from the regulations in the industry.
"It's basically the most regulated industry there is," said Floyd. "If you aren't a political person, it might make you pull your hair out how much that effects the bottom line."
The relationship between an investor and a brewer is frought with problems. Perhaps this is why Firmat has gone to an employee-owned business model, and Floyd is heading that way.
If you do deal with investors, though, be careful.
"Connect on a soul level," said Floyd. And if you're looking to invest, "make sure there's someone on the other end who knows what to do with your money."
"Invest in good people," added Devereux. "We're all making good beer."
"There are a million different ways that people have found to make it work," said Devereux. "Don't get hung up on making it work a certain way. This is the best market for beer in the world."

What's hilarious is that the new ubuntu unit policy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy is the pretty much what people voted not to do in the brainstorm http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/17839/
What's hilarious is that the new ubuntu unit policy https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy is the pretty much what people voted not to do in the brainstorm http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/17839/
I understand why the new unit policy is needed. And I can use it when writing programs or write essays. But I will never ever use it orally in a technical situation. kilo is 2^10 This is because 10^3 is not viable. The SI prefix is only used in marketing purposes and for those mortals.
Since we are righting wrongs ... (although it is slightly OT)
Consider the common (well, it used to be) V29 16 point QAM modulation. The baud rate is 2400 baud (symbols per second). But since each symbol represents 1-of-16 different data points, it carries four bits of information across. Hence, the bit-rate is 2400 * 4 = 9600 bits / second.
Glad they've done this, but they should display all sizes in iB, rather than B, or at least give you the option to choose for yourself how sizes are displayed. For your information, although CD's are measured in MiBs, DVDs are measured in GBs - so although at first this may cause some CD confusion, it will avoid more confusion in the long run.
Yep, they're measured differently.Code:CD = 700MiB DVD = 4.7GB

Until the day comes that we abolish the bit as the fundamental unit of all computation-and that includes the size of the registers in your cpu, to the pins coming out the bottom of that cpu, to the number of transistors used to represent a unit of memory in silicon memory chips, abandoning base-2 operations and all of the logic(electrical and algorithmic) based on that base, any mucking around the numbers being displayed at either the OS level or application level is just flat out, unconditionally wrong.
If one feels one must adhere to standards, which often amount to little more than mere conventions, even while one is transgressing against some 100 years of established binary usage in all things computational, the one can change the 2 letter prefix(MB) to a 3 letter prefix (MiB) if that really floats your boat.
The issue at hand here is that the binary basis of computers is not *merely* a convention, it is not simply a matter that we talk about computers this way or that. It is not simply a standard. Our agreement, yours and mine-means NOTHING in terms of computation, in terms of algorithmic and electrical logic, which is the basis of the computer.
Computers ARE binary, that is how they function, how they are built, how they are designed and how they work. In a world where almost everything is arbitrary, and we just need to agree to get along, computers are like stalwart reminders that not everything *is* arbitrary. (this impotence, this being thrown-back on ourselves in a futile attempt to make computers more human, even though there is NOTHING human about computers in terms of how they function, is the ultimate source of this little charade)
If you break the underlying link between the numbers that we get displayed in the outputs from the OS, from applications, etc. and the binary basis of these calculations you will get nothing more than a world of hurt:confusion, mistakes, wrong assumptions, and outright frustration.
The SI is a wonderful system. It's advantages are too many as to be denied. Personally I wish that the whole world would make the switch. But as with any standard, standards are only useful within a specific scope of application. In the scientific world where SI has had nearly universal success, it's success has been based on the fact that at the basis of all scientific activity there lies act of measuring. How we measure things is by definition arbitrary. And if we construct countless devices and instruments which record measurements in units that facilitate our practical utilities, science as a whole, and all things dependent on science make spectacular progress. Yet how much memory is being used is not in the first instance a measurement. There is a difference between that which is being measured and the measurement. One is a representation the other is not. How much memory is being used on a given media is a reality, not simply a way of looking at it. If you attempt to write more data to a medium than it can hold Bad Things Happen(TM). Regardless of how you or I or anyone else looks at it.
Go ahead and change to GiB,MiB and KiB. I can ignore the little 'i' and get on with things. Change the actual numbers and you turn my computer into something which continually misrepresents, something that I cannot count on, something where it's only consistency is in the consistency of it's inaccuracy. And although we are used to such from politicians I really don't want my computer to become that way.
Have a nice day

Madonnas of the Prairie: Depictions of Women in the American West
February 13, 2015 -- May 10, 2015
National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum
1700 NE 63rd St.
Oklahoma City, OK 73111
This exhibit features more than 100 works from the late 19th century through the present representing women in the American West. While artists in the 1800s often depicted women as victims, passive observers, or passengers in the settlement of the west, subsequent portrayals show women in more active roles. Through the 20th century, women were portrayed as performers in Wild West shows and rodeos, as workers on farms and ranches, and as brave and heroic "pioneer mother" figures. The exhibit features paintings and sculptures that show these complex portrayals of women and honors the sacrifices of the "Madonnas of the Prairie" who endured the countless hardships of life in the American West.
Intent to Deceive: Fakes and Forgeries in the Art World
February 14, 2015 -- May 10, 2015
Oklahoma City Museum of Art
415 Couch Dr.
Oklahoma City, OK 73102
This groundbreaking exhibition spotlights more than 60 works by some of the world's most notorious con artists, illuminating their dubious legacies and examining how their talents, charm, and audacity beguiled the art world of the 20th century through the present day. Several ingenious forgers during this time are profiled in this exhibition representing some of the most infamous scandals of our times. Included in each forger's profile are their original works, personal effects and ephemera, photographs, film clips, and representations of the material and techniques used to create these convincing artworks. Also included are original works of art by modern masters such as Charles Courtney Curran, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Paul Signac, and others, shown alongside several of the world's most accomplished art forgers to test perceptions of authenticity.

Back to life, back to reality - sort of.
... We happened upon windy mountain roads and discovered unbelievable vistas. We traveled down gravel roads in pursuit of a winery only to find sheep, ram and horned cows. We ventured along dirt paths to encounter secluded beaches attended only by locals.

Today we hit the Corsican coast. It was absolutely beautiful. However the wind was just nippy enough to prevent us from frolicking in the water. But that didn't stop Nico from playing in the sand and Aunt Josie from taking a wine-induced nap on the beach. Then we drove along the scenic route to L'Ile Rousse and continuously had to lift our jaws from off the ground. The views were spectacular.
We had no real destination in mind for L'Ile, only that it was supposed to ...
Netherlands to France -- via Italy, naturally.
... had a baby I hadn't yet met.
On Friday I flew from Amsterdam to Pisa, Italy. We drove to the lovely agriturismo they were staying at just outside of Lucca. It was a working olive oil farm and absolutely gorgeous. Tuscany looks just like every picture or painting you've ever seen of it. Breathtaking.
My night in Italy offered lots of laughter and some truly phenomenal food -- and a bit too much Italian vino. ...
Monticello and beyond!
... We were hoping to spend some time on the beach today either at Calvi or at one of the numerous beaches between our village and Calvi but the wind was blowing a gale. We went down to the beach at Calvi and got well and truly sand blasted. Nice touch, there is a train that goes to the beach - right to the beach. Not a stupid tourist train (and there are plenty of those!), a real train. How good is that? From there, a walk to the citadel, ...

Although spatio-temporal patterns of influenza spread often suggest that environmental factors play a role, their effect on the geographical variation in the timing of annual epidemics has not been assessed. We examined the effect of solar radiation, dew point, temperature and geographical position on the city-specific timing of epidemics in the USA. Using paediatric in-patient data from hospitals in 35 cities for each influenza season in the study period 2000–2005, we determined 'epidemic timing' by identifying the week of peak influenza activity. For each city we calculated averages of daily climate measurements for 1 October to 31 December. Bayesian hierarchical models were used to assess the strength of association between each variable and epidemic timing. Of the climate variables only solar radiation was significantly related to epidemic timing (95% CI −0·027 to −0·0032). Future studies may elucidate biological mechanisms intrinsically linked to solar radiation that contribute to epidemic timing in temperate regions.
