Fantasy Works Publishing: We are a fantasy publishing company offering full service (absolutely no fees) to our authors and excellent, well edited, high quality books for our readers. When we say that we accept series, we mean the entire series at one time. Reason being, our wish is to relieve the author of the burden associated with completing book two. By that, I mean the burdensome task of shopping book two around to yet another publisher before beginning book three. It's a nasty little cycle we aim to eradicate.
We also understand this goes against the grain of traditional publishing. Who cares. They only want to test the waters with new authors, and if immediate success isn't found, then toss you to the curb and move on to the next author. The thing is, with any new author, success is rarely found in the first book. Usually, it is the author's productivity, relentless marketing and proven quality of work that leads to sustained success.
Pandamoon Publishing: Pandamoon Publishing is an independent publishing house in Austin Texas. We are a royalty-paying, non-subsidy publisher who believes the relationship between the author and the publisher is paramount to success. We are different in that our management team has decades of invaluable experience in publishing and other technology and consumer industries and we bring the best practices of each to the publishing realm.
I am a successful serial entrepreneur and this is my third startup. My first company was an advertising agency which focused on traditional advertising, market research, and an interactive division that was responsible for delivering content to customers in new and exciting ways. After 12 years, I sold that company and started a global management consultancy practice which provided companies with operational, procedural, publishing, and marketing solutions. I sold my interest in that firm last year and have been focused on creating Pandamoon since then.
Pandamoon is a unique opportunity that utilizes all of my skill sets at once, as well as my love of technology, publishing, marketing, and lifelong learning. I have spent the last year building a team of extremely experienced and talented editorial, production, and publicity people who share my passion for building strong relationships with our authors. Everyone here has been quick to learn the value of and adopt my processes that are so efficient that we can reduce production time and return a much higher royalty rate to our authors. Bottom line, I know that our success is totally dependent upon the level of customer service, support, and response that we provide our readers and authors.

#Pit2Pub Twitter Pitch Party
Who has fun spending hours creating that perfect 140-character pitch? Then bouncing that sentence or two off others to see if it's fantastic? And finally having to create a couple more so you're not posting the same one every few hours?
I know what you're going through. In fact, I did quite a few Twitter Pitch Parties so I know your pain. I remember what it was like to see that little colored star and then checking and re-checking my email to confirm that someone did in fact click on my pitch and favorited it. My heart pounded and my palms were sweaty, all the while hoping and praying that it wasn't a joke from a friend or some complete stranger marked it and not re-tweeted it by mistake. I remember trolling the feed all day long and not actually working.
So it's because of those reasons that my cousin Ann and I wanted to help other authors. Why not pay it forward? We both are fortunate enough to have a published book, and working on our second. But let's face it, the best reason for us doing this? IT'S FUN! So let's have a blast, help each other out, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find that perfect relationship between author and publisher.
Here's the date for #Pit2Pub: July 15, 2015 starts at 8AM and ends at 8PM (CST or CDT, which is Chicago time).
What is #Pit2Pub?
A Twitter Pitch Party for writers to tweet a 140-character pitch for their completed manuscripts. Have several variations of your Twitter pitch available. The pitch must include the hashtag #Pit2Pub, the Age Group, and the Genre (#YA, #MG, #A, etc. see chart below) in the tweet. It's important to include the hashtag(s).
Age Groups Hashtags:
#PB = Picture Book
#C = Children's
#CB = Chapter Books
#CL = Children's Lit
#MG = Middle Grade
#YA = Young Adult
#NA = New Adult
#A = Adult
Authors of all genres are welcome to pitch their completed and polished manuscripts. You can pitch more than one manuscript. Tweet your pitch throughout the day, but no more than twice per hour per manuscript.Remember to include the hashtag #Pit2Pub and genre.
The publishers may tweet their submission preferences and favorite your tweet if they wish to see more. If you get a favorite from a publisher, follow their submission directions on their website or look for them on this blog. Then send them their request as soon as you can. They may have tweeted what they want you to send, so check their twitter feed for that information.
Make sure to put "Pit2Pub Request: TITLE" in the subject line of your email when sending your request.
Don't tweet publishers directly, unless they tweet you first.
Don't favorite friends' tweets. You can RT your friends to show your support. Save favoriting for publisher requests to avoid confusion.
Be sure you research each requesting publisher. Don't submit if you don't want to work with them.
Be nice and courteous to each other and to the industry professionals. If you do see abuse, please report it to Twitter or notify Ann or myself right away.
Check back on this blog (http://www.kristinvanrisseghem.com/blog) or Ann's Blog (http://annmnoser.com) as we post the list of comfirmed publishers who have signed up to monitor the feed on July 15, 2015!
Thank you! And let the fun begin!!!

Story highlights
- Cosby faces three charges of felony indecent assault
- Cosby's trial is set to begin in June 2017
Norristown, Pennsylvania (CNN)Spending two days sitting in a Pennsylvania courtroom listening to lawyers argue over his blindness -- and with a criminal trial seven months away -- is likely the last place Bill Cosby imagined he would find himself at 79 years of age.
But that's where he was this week as a Montgomery County judge listened to lengthy pre-trial arguments on several key issues -- the outcome of which will significantly shape the famous comedian's upcoming trial.
Much has changed in Cosby's life since May of last year when he wrapped up his "Far From Finished" comedy tour. Not only does he now face three counts of aggravated indecent assault stemming from accusations made by a former Temple University employee, Andrea Constand, but his lawyers say he is blind, and that condition is severely hampering his defense.
Cosby has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
'Can he really not see a photo six inches from his face?'
TV cameras, reporters, and onlookers swarmed the Norristown courthouse on Tuesday and Wednesday, hoping to catch their first glimpse of Cosby since his lawyers revealed in court filings last month that he suffers from a "degenerative eye condition."
"He can't write, he can't read, he can't draw or drive -- he's blind," defense attorney, Angela Agrusa, told CNN Friday.
Constand's allegations are only part of a longer story for prosecutors, as they want to show he's engaged in a specific, repeated pattern of criminal behavior over the years by introducing testimony from at least 13 other women who claim that Cosby sexually assaulted them. And this is where his sight becomes a legal issue, because Cosby's lawyers say the Commonwealth should have charged him long ago, and it is now impossible for him to effectively refute such claims, as he cannot identify the accusers without his sight.
"[W]ithout his eyesight, Mr. Cosby cannot even determine whether he has ever even seen some of his accusers, let alone develop defenses and gather exculpatory evidence," Cosby's lawyers said in a motion to get the case dismissed. On Tuesday, his lawyers provided Judge Steven O'Neill with a report from ophthalmologist Dr. David G. Lotufo to corroborate their claims.
While the report has not been released to the public, Cosby's lawyers revealed to CNN that the report by Lotufo said Cosby has "severe" glaucoma in both eyes and is already blind in his right eye.
Cosby's lawyers told CNN that Lotufo recently conducted a "full evaluation" of Cosby before making the diagnosis.
But in court on Wednesday, prosecutors initially cast doubt on the reliability of Lotufo's report, questioning whether it could constitute reliable evidence without a baseline evaluation of Cosby's vision at the time of the alleged incident in 2005. "It looks like something you'd get from a LensCrafters at a mall," Deputy District Attorney Robert Falin argued, referring to Dr. Lotufo's report -- causing Cosby to laugh out loud.
"Can he really not see a photo six inches from his face?" Falin added, posing the question to make his point.
'This didn't happen overnight'
Those who are close to Cosby say he has suffered from a gradual decline in vision for years. While unbeknownst to audiences who attended his performances last year, Cosby required neon yellow tape be stretched from the backstage area to his chair on stage so that he could see, according to his publicist, Andrew Wyatt.
"This didn't happen overnight," Wyatt told CNN on Thursday. Wyatt is regularly seen at court hearings by Cosby's side, guiding him by the bicep in and out of the courthouse, and helping him into his car.
His loss of sight has been a "major adjustment" in his life, according to Agrusa -- though it remains unclear when exactly he was first diagnosed with glaucoma or declared legally blind.
Medical experts say that glaucoma does "progressive damage" to the optic nerve, leading to blind spots in one's vision. Often by the time a person first notices symptoms, the condition has advanced, according to Dr. Anastasios Costarides of the Emory Eye Center in Atlanta.
"Once you've lost vision from glaucoma, you can't bring it back," Costarides, who is not involved in the Cosby case, told CNN.
Some legal experts, however, say that it is unlikely Cosby's blindness will result in the dismissal of all charges. Laura Coates, CNN legal analyst and a former prosecutor, explained that even if Cosby is blind, he has "ample tools at his disposal to provide his lawyers with an alibi or other exculpatory evidence" to challenge the credibility of the 13 other accusers. A fair trial is not "contingent on eyesight," Coates said.
The judge gave no indication when he would issue a ruling on the defense motion to dismiss.
Expressions in court show mixed emotions
Vision issues aside, the famous entertainer did not shy away from showing his feelings in court this week, entering the courtroom with a confident stride and cracking a smile as his lawyers wrangled with the judge. "He's doing well, he's in great spirits," Wyatt told CNN.
Yet at other times, he appeared more withdrawn.
Cosby frowned, looking down at the floor as District Attorney Kevin Steele began describing alleged "drug-facilitated rapes" and a "decades-long pattern of sexual assault." During other long stretches of argument, Cosby leaned back in his chair away from counsel table, with his head in his hand.
Cosby's wife, Camille, was not with him in court this week, but Wyatt told CNN that Cosby has the "full support" of his family and friends, and Wyatt expects that his wife will attend trial.
"He just looks so sad to me ... I feel bad for him," a supporter, Monica Lyons, said outside the courthouse as she watched Cosby's car drive away. "He's been America's dad for so long."

This legislation will set up a new government bureaucracy to monitor and further study the as-yet undemonstrated pressing problem of homegrown terrorism and radicalization. It will no doubt prove to be another bureaucracy that artificially inflates problems so as to guarantee its future existence and funding. But it may do so at great further expense to our civil liberties. What disturbs me most about this legislation is that it leaves the door wide open for the broadest definition of what constitutes "radicalization." Could otherwise nonviolent anti-tax, anti-war, or anti-abortion groups fall under the watchful eye of this new government commission? Assurances otherwise in this legislation are unconvincing.More HERE on the same bill. And HERE, too. Share

Fox News Says It Was Cheated in Charter/Time Warner Deal
MANHATTAN (CN) — Fox News sued Charter Communications over its $60 billion purchase of Time Warner Cable, claiming the telecommunications giant has illegally reneged on a 2014 agreement to boost carriage rates on the conservative channel.
The July 19 lawsuit claims Charter, which is now the second-largest broadband company in the United States, lied in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Communications Commission, and in correspondence with Fox News, by muddling whether it was purchasing Time Warner, or Time Warner was purchasing it.
As a result of the merger, a 2014 affiliation agreement between Fox News and Time Warner was scrapped, despite assurances that the agreement would survive corporate acquisition of Time Warner.
On May 18, Charter purchased Time Warner for roughly $60 billion. The deal also included Bright House Networks.
At the time, Charter spokesman Alex Dudley was reported as saying Charter would phase out the Time Warner Cable name over time.
After the purchase, the acquisition agreement included a proviso that all previous agreements would be terminated, including the 2014 rate-agreement with Fox News. That agreement would expire in 2018, according to the lawsuit filed in New York County Supreme Court. The exact terms of the deal are now publicly known.
Fox News claims that it was aware of the potential of a Charter acquisition in 2014, and that its agreement took that possibility into account.
However, the 2014 agreement was fraudulently scrapped due to a complicated ruse in which Charter took the position that it was being acquired by a Time Warner holding company, when in fact the reverse was true, the lawsuit states. The ruse was "no more clearly seen that, since its acquisitions of TWC, Charter has reportedly decided to vacate the Time Warner Center and move all operations to Charter's offices in Connecticut," the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit cites several financial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which state that Charter would be the ultimate parent company.
However, in a June 24 letter, Charter's general counsel and corporate secretary Richard Dykhouse told Fox News that both former Time Warner systems and Charter systems were now owned by the Time Warner-related entity Spectrum Management Holding Company.
"We appreciate that, as publicly reported, the transactions were not self-explanatory," Dykhouse wrote in the letter. "[C]ontrary to the assertions in your letter, [Charter systems] are eligible for inclusion under the applicable TWC agreement and will be governed by the terms of the applicable TWC agreement."
Earlier this month Univision filed a similar breach-of-contract lawsuit against Charter, claiming the company was trying to jack up programming rates. Unlike Fox News, however, Univision's contract with Charter runs through 2022.
It appears that the Fox News lawsuit might follow in Univision's footsteps. Lawyers from Greenberg Traurig, who represent Fox News, have asked to attend a July 26 judicial conference in the Univision case.
An e-mail request for comment from Charter on the two lawsuits was not immediately returned.

Just as it is true for women, the right accessory can complete an outfit and help make a man fell well dressed and confident. Often, men who dislike to shop will treat these matters as a second thought, even after investing large sums in a tailored suit. But a bit of care can give a guy an edge and help him to feel well dressed and confident. To find the right, interesting accessory, avoid the big department stores in the financial district and start exploring the world of boutiques. Here are a few suggestions to get you started.
556 Hayes St.
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 864-5692
Nomads was one of the first boutiques to settle in the fashionable district of San Francisco's Hayes Valley neighborhood. It opened its doors in the early 1990s, just before the turn of the millennium. Nomads specializes in casual clothing and, in keeping with its name, it proudly offers selections from all over the world. Among the many accessories available here are a fine selection of bow ties and such delicious luxuries as tiny portable speakers to connect to an iPod.
1521 Fillmore St.
San Francisco, CA 94115
(415) 359-1999
Since opening The Brooklyn Circus in 2006, designer Ouigi Theodore's elegant take on the classics has developed an almost cultish following. No Yankee Doodle Dandy would think of letting a season go by without a visit. A trip to this marvelous store is an adventure in elegance, tradition and clothing as art. Hat lovers will be especially delighted, but anybody who takes pleasure in fine clothing is likely to enjoy this exceptional boutique experience. Customers also appreciate the exceptional service and attention to detail (such as the comfortable and inviting seating area in the middle of the store).
526 Castro St.
San Francisco, CA 94114
(415) 241-9200
As you might imagine, this boutique specializes in Italian fashion. It is serious enough to make buying trips every year to both Rome and Milan. The owners boast that they try to seek out lesser-known designers to introduce American customers to Italian style they just can't find elsewhere. Tucked away on the second floor, this boutique definitely makes customers feel as though they have stumbled upon a well-kept secret. This may be the best place in the city to find a truly elegant belt because the leather goods here are exceptional.
510 Valencia St.
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 255-9747
For the edgiest choices in all aspects of culture, including clothes, San Franciscans know to head to the Mission District. A colorful blend of upscale and down, it is the center of the city's bohemian life, much like North Beach was for the beatniks of the 50s, or the Haight for the hippies during the Summer of Love. Here are the best bookstores, the best taquerias, the hippest music venues, the most poetical reading series and the funkiest boutiques. Five and Diamond is a great example. Not for everybody, Five and Diamond proudly specializes in what it calls "alternative fashions and jewelry."
212 Clement St.
San Francisco, CA 94118
(415) 386-1600
Far from the center of town, out near the Pacific Ocean (who remembers that San Francisco is a beach town), is the Clement Street shopping district in the neighborhood known as the Inner Richmond. Here you'll find this unpretentious boutique owned and run by two sisters who take pride in making sure that "everyone feels at home" when entering their shop. Seed Store isn't cheap, but here you will find a most excellent selection of wallets and bags that'll make you feel like a million bucks.
Charles Kruger is well known in the Bay area as "The Storming Bohemian" ever since he entered the Bay Area cultural scene in the summer of 2009, attending 90 cultural events in 90 days and blogging about it. This project was successful enough to warrant a mention in The New York Times. His coverage of Bay area theatre can be found at Examiner.com.

Much ado about Australopithecus sediba
Researchers do not know where they should place Australopithecus sediba.
Joel Kontinen
The popular media have once again been busy promoting a purported human ancestor. This time, however, some newspapers have taken a surprisingly critical approach. The Independent, published in London, quotes Australian evolution researcher Darren Curnoe, who says: "Australopithecus sediba is the wrong species, in the wrong place, and at the wrong time. It is way too primitive to be the ancestor of the human genus Homo, one of our direct ancestors."
The fossils, estimated to be just under two million years old, are almost half a million years younger than the earliest known specimens of H. habilis.
Found in a cave in Malapa, South Africa, the two fossils – an adult and a juvenile – have already attracted much discussion and even criticism in the evolution camp, although they were published just two days ago in Science. Their discoverers, Lee Berger and colleagues, gave them the name Australopithecus sediba.
Many other anthropologists feel that it is far too early to regard the fossils as a new species. According to Nature news, anthropologists Tim White and Fred Grine criticised Berger and his colleagues for using the juvenile specimen in determining whether it differs sufficiently from Homo fossils. This obviously distorted their conclusion.
The assumed age of the fossils - 1.78 – 1. 95 million years – is also interesting. The researchers came up with this date by examining the ground below them by the uranium –lead (U-Pb) method. However, if for instance water had moved the fossils, the credibility of the dates will be much weaker.
Interpreting and dating fossils is an intriguing game. In 1990 J. Shreeve wrote in Discover magazine: "Everybody knows fossils are fickle; bones will sing any song you want to hear."

This quote from Bob Kauflin's Worship Matters struck me this week – I hope you find it helpful as well:
Although we never know exactly how people are going to respond during a meeting [time of worship], we tend to reap what we sow. If our leadership focuses on musical experiences, we'll reap a desire for better sounds, cooler progressions, and more creative arrangements. If we sow to immediate feelings, we'll reap meetings driven by the pursuit of emotional highs. If we lead in such a way that we're the center of attention, we'll reap a man-centered focus, shallow compliments, and ungodly comparisons. (Worship Matters, pg. 59)

Fans of CBS shows no longer have to use iOS to watch full, HD-quality TV episodes while on the road: the broadcaster has just released Android and Windows 8 versions of its namesake video app. As on Apple's platform, viewers can watch already-aired programming for free. Delays for show access range from 24 hours for off-peak shows to as many as eight days for primetime material. Neither client syncs with the CBS Connect second screen app, although the network promises Android integration in the fall. BlackBerry users also won't be left out -- CBS plans to launch a native BlackBerry 10 client before the end of 2013. If you're ready to watch NCIS on a Nexus 7 or a Surface, you can grab either of the just-released apps at the source links.
CBS launches full episode streaming TV apps for Android and Windows 8

App Offers Episodes of All Entertainment Series in CBS's Primetime Lineup
Eight Days After Initial Broadcast; Daytime and Late Night Series 24 Hours After Broadcast
Synced Second-Screen Experiences and Connect Live's Weekly Video Chats
With CBS Talent Now Available on iOS and Coming Soon to Android
NEW YORK – Oct. 4, 2013 – CBS Interactive today announced its popular CBS App, offering full-episode streaming of the CBS Television Network's programming, is now available for Android and Windows 8* users and will be coming to BlackBerry 10 before the end of the year.
This fall, the CBS App will offer fans more programming than ever before for catch-up viewing, including every episode of CBS's new and returning primetime entertainment series eight days after broadcast. In addition, the app will offer episodes of many classic CBS shows like MACGYVER, STAR TREK and PERRY MASON.
Originally launched in March, the CBS App for iOS has been downloaded nearly 4 million times. In addition to full-episode streaming, the iOS app recently added the CBS Connect iPad App's synced second-screen experiences and social TV features as well as Connect Live, CBS.com's weekly live video chats with CBS talent. Both CBS Sync and Connect Live will extend to the Android app this fall.
"When we launched on iOS in March, we promised fans we would bring the CBS App to all major platforms by fall premieres. Today we are doing exactly that," said Jim Lanzone, President of CBS Interactive. "In addition, we're launching new social and second-screen features, as well as access to more content than ever before. We've seen a tremendous response to the app to date, and we'll continue to innovate on behalf of CBS fans in the weeks and months ahead."
The iOS app's recent integration of the CBS Connect App's social TV features includes synced second-screen experiences for nine of CBS's leading shows, including fall series CRIMINAL MINDS, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, HAWAII FIVE-0, NCIS: LOS ANGELES, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, SURVIVOR and THE MENTALIST, with more to be added.
"Digital has become an authentic part of the HAWAII FIVE-0 storytelling process," said Peter Lenkov, Executive Producer of HAWAII FIVE-0. "Through the CBS Connect App and now the CBS App, #H50 viewers are able to go beyond the regular viewing experience and get a deeper look at the show and our Five-0 team while they watch live or on-demand. The synced experiences offer our fans a great way to dive deeper into the storyline each week and find out some secrets about McGarrett and the rest of the Five-0 ohana!"
The CBS App offers popular shows from CBS's primetime, daytime and late night lineup, including 2 BROKE GIRLS, BIG BANG THEORY, ELEMENTARY, NCIS, PERSON OF INTEREST, THE GOOD WIFE, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS and THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, among many others. This fall, the app will also include full episodes of all the new fall entertainment series in CBS's primetime lineup in addition to the CBS App's newly introduced CBS Classics content.
Daytime and late night programming is available within 24 hours after initial airing, while most primetime programs will be available on the eighth day after broadcast.

Weah to quit Liberia
Former Chelsea and Manchester City striker George Weah has announced that he is to quit international football after coming under fire from supporters during Liberia's 2-1 home defeat to Ghana in World Cup qualifying on Sunday.
The one-time African, European and FIFA world player of the year will continue in his role as technical director for the game with Sierra Leone on July 14th before quitting the country to start a new life in the United States.
His decision comes after Liberian fans hurled objects, as well as abuse, at the 34-year-old following the defeat which saw Liberia drop to second in their World Cup qualifying group.
Nigeria, who beat Sudan 4-0 at the weekend to go top, are now favourites to go to the finals in Japan and Korea with both sides having just one more game to play.
The news has come as a major blow to the Liberian football authorities, who had hoped Weah would guide the team in next year's African Nations Cup in Mali.
Speaking to local radio station DC101, Weah said: "I am finished. I am resigning after the Freetown game and they can bring in new people to take them to the African Cup.
"I will not play with them any more and I will not coach any more."
Weah has become an ambassador for Liberia on a world stage and a figurehead for sport in the country.
He is also a great example of how talented sportsmen and women can escape poverty to reach the top of their chosen profession.
However, he made the decision to leave after his mother was also insulted by the boo-boys.
He added: "I will not have anybody insult my mother.
"For that reason I will never be part of the Liberian team. I am going to leave Liberia and go to the States and live my life."
Weah, who ended the season at Marseille after a disappointing spell at Maine Road, also criticised the attitude of his team-mates, whom he believed let the country down against Ghana.
He said: "They behaved like only George Weah wanted to go to the World Cup.
"They do not have conviction and do not have priorities. They behaved like unprofessional players." -PA

BUZZ: Campana at Orsay, Thanksgiving Dinner at Ralph Lauren's, Antoine, Caffe Burlot
Support us for just $60 a year

Fill in your credentials below.
Musée d'Orsay, Café Campana, Paris 7th
The Musée d'Orsay is the talk of the town's art afficionadoes. The much-loved former railway station created in Beaux-Arts style by Victor Laloux for the Exposition Universelle 1900 has undergone major transformations over the last two years.
The former gare d'Orsay relaunched in 1986 as a museum showcasing French nineteenth-century art and sculpture, with bold interior design by architect Gae Aulenti, a perfect fusion of form and content. A super success from day one, long lines formed outside to pay homage to, say, Manet's Olympia and Déjeuner sur l'Herbe and awesome works by Rodin, Monet, Renoir, Pisarro, Van Gogh, et al.
And, talking Déjeuner sur l'Herbe, there are three watering holes for hungry artistas:
On Level 1, Café du Lion, a basement canteen for fast food.
Level 2, The Restaurant, also transforms to a tea room on Thursday from 2:45-5.30 pm.
And, on Level 5 of the new Pavilion Amont that leads from the new Impressionist Gallery, the handsome three-dimensional, 180-seater, Café Campana with futuristic décor by the Brazilian Campana Brothers, Fernando and Humberto. A provocative jumble of orange twisted coated wire fencing, sea anemone chairs by Edra and the magnificent station clock as the focal point. Note the blue aquarium effect, read: Jules Verne meets the Matrix.
But what about the food?
Perfect for the ladies who do. Carrot & coriander soup. PPP: Penne rigate, Parma Ham, Parmesan and Pesto. Croq' Monsieur. Wok-fried beef and Chinese noodles. A kir royale (12€). Then Salade Niҫoise with a glass of Château Roubine rosé Côtes de Provence (8€ or 32 a bottle). Salmonistas should get the "Tout est bon dans le saumon." Marinated, smoked, cooked, roe, blinis & tzatziki. Caesar Salad or Cheese by Quatrehomme. Desserts include Chocolat or Café Liégeois. Coupe Copacabana, tarte du jour, giant éclair and, mmmm, mini Opéra, mini Financier (no darling, cake, not Jérôme Kerviel) or a mini fig sablé.
Chef Yann Landureau says he'll create dishes to match exhibitions, but it's early days. Go there for the adventure of the new Musée d'Orsay, to get turned on by probably the best museum of its type in the world. C'est ҫa Paris—j'adore.

Antoine, Paris 16th
Appropriate, a fish restaurant on the quai opposite the Seine, n'est-ce pas, chérie?
"After an absence of nearly a century, Atlantic salmon have returned to France's Seine River, with hundreds swimming past the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame cathedral this year alone," researchers said. Salmon in the city!
In 2010 Antoine reeled in Pudlo's "Restaurant of the Year" award with special mention for the open "aquarium" kitchen, le boat-shaped bar and the "neon poisson" sculpture on the wall.
"Antoine Vigneron is the captain and founder of the restaurant, creating his own address after 15 years spent at Le Bristol, he's now the Fish King of Paris," Pudlo says.
Wearing the whites is Michelin-starred Chef Mickaël Feval, enchanted with all things piscatorial, he gets up at four in the morning to find the best in the market. Feval's is up there with Saint Peter, a fisher of men. His backstory's impressive, learning with Briffard (rigeur), the late Loiseau (joie de vivre), Antoine Westermann (creativity), Bruno Oger (imagination) and Thierry Barot (conviviality).
"The seasons decide my menus," he says. "At present it's oysters and oursins, daurade and daurade royale we're working."
Plus on the lunch menu this week: Maquereaux mi-cuit au raifort, légumes, pickles to begin. Pavé de cabillaud rôti, Carottes parisiennes aux zestes de clémentine. To finish: Velouté poire, biscuit cacao, glace fève de Tonka.
But don't ignore the signature Bouillabaisse de petite pêche, rouille au safran du Quercy de Mr Chevalier. "Bouiller" (to boil) and "abaisser" (to reduce). Starters include Tataki de Bonite Sarda-Sarda, autour des betteraves de Mr Thiebault (see photo). Carpaccio de Maigre de ligne, Caviar Osciètre et blinis. But, be warned, portions are enormous. The Bar de ligne de Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie is grilled over fennel and flamed before it comes to table with purée de Rattes du Touquet. It's enough for four and they don't do doggie bags here—it's much too raffiné, darling. Carnivores can have chicken from Les Landes or Ris de Veau Rôti, risotto aux cèpes, jus de veau à la betterave, poêlée de girolles. Goat's cheese is from Père Fabre and les Comtés from Marie Quatrehomme, great bread by Poujauran, butter by Monsieur Bordier.
Chef Pâtissier Franҫois Régien (ex-Lasserre, Ledoyen, Marius & Janette, Westermann, has a light touch with the likes of Soufflé chaud à la passion, coulis de fruit de la passion, sorbet passion and Pomme Reine des Reinettes flambée au Calvados, sorbet Granny Smith. Wines, by the glass, from 6-16€. Try the tangerine perfumed Saint-Joseph "Grand Duc" Domaine du Monteillet 2010 at 9€ or 50€ a bottle. Or the red Burgundy Monthélie from 10th generation winemaker Xavier Monnot at 9€ or a bottle at 45€. Deep, dense, fruity, hits the right spot.
At lunch Antoine is bright, with views of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower, at night it's très romantique, especially when the Iron Lady sparkles. A great place to "put a ring on it," . . . if he doesn't do it there, he'll never do it, babe.

Caffé Burlot, Paris 8th
When Thierry (Burlot) met Thierry (Costes) they got to chatting, as people do, and by the end of the evening had given a "high five" to launching a restaurant together, inspired by 1950s Italy.
Burlot & Costes are currently the Lennon and McCartney of the rue Colisée, their trat's buzzing with the likes of Johnny and Laetitia Hallyday, Marc Lavoine, Trish Desseigne, read: le tout Paris. Burlot (worked with Chef Feval, see above, and also at Le Crillon, his own restaurant, Le Quinze, Zebra Square, and Cristal Room, Baccarat, etc.).
The space was formerly L'Appart. "We're very happy with the design by Milan architects Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran, they've created lots of spaces, so diners can be either public or very private. The basement is great for private parties and they've given us silver loos with armchairs, what more could you want?"
The Caffé has a couture/industrial theme, soft colors and sexy lighting—well, it is Costes, what did you expect, Ikea?
Open the menu and blink, it begins with desserts. Why, Thierry, why?
"I've studied ze ladies," he admits. He's as sexy as his restaurant. "Zay alwayz look at ze dezzerts first, so I thought, put zem out of their misery."
And Thierry, if they want to begin with dessert?
"Is not a problem," he grins.
So Monica Belluci (or you and I) could order cacao soufflé tout chocolat. Fragola millefeuille croustillant, que des fraises, absolutely spectacular. Tirame'su veneziano biscuit, espresso & crème aux oeufs. Al forno figues rôties & origan frais, etc., or, is this a dessert, starter or main? Caprese glace mozzarella, basilic feuille tomate pulpe. Wines go from a Château Lafitte Rothschild 1996 at 1,520€ to a white Pouilles IGT Tomaresca Chardonnay 2010 31€ or cocktails and glasses from 9€.
As far as mains go, "à la broche" jeune agneau rôti & nepita, an herb Thierry has sent by La Poste from Corsica. Branzino loup épais sur la plancha, figues & asperges. Lasagnette fine pâte, ragu di Bologne & épinards. Mix and match starters and mains, as in Culatello di zibello D.O.P charcuterie d'exception then Spaghetti chair de tomates artisanale, basilic.
Caffé Burlot is noisy, vibrant and interesting. The two Thierrys have created a unique addy, with no rules, make your own mind up about the composition of your lunch/dinner.
They've done all the hard work, so you don't have A Hard Day's Night.

Thanksgiving menu at Le Ralph's, Paris 6th
Ralph Lauren says he doesn't design clothes, he designs dreams.
At his handsome Paris Left Bank flagship there's a Thanksgiving menu with all the bells and whistles. Begin with mulled cider and Champagne. Appetizers are: butternut squash soup or Vermont winter leaf salad. Mouthwatering mains to make you really homesick, but with a French twist to make you really glad you're here: Roasted Heirloom Turkey, Calvados gravy, all the trimmings such as smashed sweet potatoes, maple-roasted root vegetables, buttermilk biscuits with cranberry butter. Finish with Ralph's Homemade Apple Pie, Charleston Pecan Pie, Harvest Pumpkin Pie.

Entertaining in the French Style. Stories and recipes from Paris to Provence to Saignon, a tiny medieval town in the Luberon Mountains. Beautiful photography illustrates the pleasure of a well-laid table, whether an intimate breakfast or a dinner party with friends. Entertaining in the French Style gives readers a glimpse into the everyday lives of French artists, farmers, chefs, and cheesemakers, of regular French couples and families, and the central roles of both food and setting in capturing the nuanced romantic notion of entertaining with French influence.
The French Way: How France Embraced and Rejected American Values and Power. November 2011 release: There are over 1,000 McDonald's on French soil. Two Disney theme parks have opened near Paris in the last two decades. And American-inspired vocabulary such as "le weekend" has been absorbed into the French language. But as former French president Jacques Chirac put it: "The U.S. finds France unbearably pretentious. And we find the U.S. unbearably hegemonic." Are the French fascinated or threatened by America? They Americanize yet are notorious for expressions of anti-Americanism. From McDonald's and Coca-Cola to free markets and foreign policy, this book looks closely at the conflicts and contradictions of France's relationship to American politics and culture. Richard Kuisel shows how the French have used America as both yardstick and foil to measure their own distinct national identity.

Oscar Wilde in Paris. September 2011 release: In his last years in London, Wilde's behavior can only be described as reckless. It was as if he was asking to be caught, and eventually he was caught. Yet he had begun his travels happily, visiting France for the first time as a student, then spending his honeymoon in Paris. In frequent trips to the French capital he met well-known writers, feeling at ease with them, and preparing a theatrical career with Sarah Bernhardt – then at the height of her fame. Now the pace of Herbert Lottman's book slows, allowing the reader to follow Wilde's disgrace: his indifference to indictment, his careless attitude toward witnesses who turn against him, as if he did not face a mandatory sentence of two years of hard labor. Then self-exile to France, rejection by literary society, inability to write, poverty and deadly disease…

Pulmonary Hypertension
The increased pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs means that your heart has to work harder to pump blood into the lungs. This can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and lightheadedness. If left untreated, the increased pressure can damage your heart. This may lead to serious or life-threatening complications, such as heart failure or arrhythmias, which are irregular heart rhythms.
Explore this Health Topic to learn more about pulmonary hypertension, our role in research and clinical trials to improve health, and where to find more information.
Causes - Pulmonary Hypertension
Youror other medical conditions can cause hypertension. Certain medical conditions can damage, change, or block the blood vessels of the pulmonary arteries. The cause of pulmonary hypertension is not always clear.
To understand pulmonary hypertension, it is helpful to understand the flow of blood through the heart and lungs. The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your body's tissues. The pulmonary arteries connect your right heart and lungs. The heart pumps blood through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs to become oxygen-rich blood. The force or pressure of the blood against the walls of the pulmonary arteries is called the pulmonary pressure.

- Pulmonary Hypertension
Geneare found in some people who have a family history of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Mutations are also found often in patients who do not have a family history.
Medical conditions
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Many medical conditions can cause pulmonary hypertension. One type of pulmonary hypertension—called pulmonary arterial hypertension—is caused by conditions that result in narrowing of the pulmonary arteries themselves, such as scleroderma or HIV. Narrowed blood vessels can increase blood pressure in the lungs.
Medical conditions that can cause pulmonary hypertension include:
- venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the lungs, called pulmonary embolism, a type of
- Chronic exposure to high altitude
- Chronic kidney failure
- Congenital heart defects or congenital narrowing of the pulmonary arteries
- Connective tissue diseases, such as scleroderma
- Infection with parasites, such as schistosomiasis or Echinococcus, which are tapeworms
- Left heart diseases, such as left heart failure, which may be caused by high blood pressure throughout your body or ischemic heart disease; and heart valve diseases, such as aortic and mitral valve disease
- Liver diseases, such as cirrhosis, that lead to higher-than-normal blood pressures in the liver
- Lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease, or sleep apnea
- Metabolic disorders, such as thyroid disorders or Gaucher disease
- Sarcoidosis
- Sickle cell disease

Risk Factors - Pulmonary Hypertension
You may have an increased risk for pulmonary hypertension because of your age, environment, family history and, lifestyle habits, medicines you are taking, other medical conditions, or sex.
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Your risk of pulmonary hypertension goes up as you get older, although it may occur at any age. The condition is typically diagnosed between ages 30 and 60.
- Pulmonary Hypertension
You may be at an increased risk of pulmonary hypertension if you have or are exposed to the following:
- Asbestos or silica
- Infection caused by parasites such as schistosomiasis or Echinococcus, which are tapeworms
Family history and genetics
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Certain genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome, congenital heart disease, and Gaucher disease, can increase your risk of developing pulmonary hypertension.
A family history of blood clots or pulmonary embolism also increases your risk of developing pulmonary hypertension.
Lifestyle habits
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Unhealthy lifestyle habits can increase the risk of pulmonary hypertension. These habits include:
- Illegal drugs, such as cocaine and amphetamines
- Smoking
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Some medicines may increase your risk of pulmonary hypertension, including:
- Chemotherapy medicines to treat , such as dasatinib, mitomycin C, and cyclophosphamide
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to treat depression and anxiety. SSRIs may cause pulmonary arterial hypertension in newborns whose mothers have taken these medicines during pregnancy.
- Weight-loss drugs such as fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine, which are no longer approved for weight loss in the United States
Other medical conditions
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Certain medical conditions may increase your risk of developing pulmonary hypertension:
- Blood clotting disorders, such as blood clots in the lungs, a higher-than-normal platelet count in your blood, and conditions that make your blood more likely to clot, such as protein S and C deficiency, factor V Leiden thrombophilia, antithrombin III deficiency, and antiphospholipid syndrome
- Chronic kidney disease
- Diseases that change the structure of the chest wall, such as scoliosis
- Infections such as hepatitis B or C
- Liver disease such as cirrhosis
- Surgical removal of the spleen
- Thyroid diseases
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension is more common in women than in men. Pulmonary hypertension with certain types of heart failure is also more common in women.
Screening and Prevention - Pulmonary Hypertension
To screen for pulmonary hypertension, your doctor will determine whether you have any known risk factors and may have you undergo screening tests. Screening is not usually performed unless you have known risk factors such as scleroderma. Your doctor may recommend prevention strategies to help you lower your risk of developing pulmonary hypertension.
Tests to screen for pulmonary hypertension
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Based on your symptoms or risk factors, your doctor may recommend the following tests to screen for changes in the heart or lungs that may be related to pulmonary hypertension.
- Echocardiography to look at your heart's function and structure and estimate pulmonary artery pressure
- Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) to look for signs of changes in your heart or abnormal rhythms in your heart's electrical activity.
- Pulmonary function tests to look for changes in lung function for conditions such as systemic sclerosis, COPD, or interstitial lung diseases
Based on the results of these screening tests, your doctor may do follow-up tests to see whether you have higher-than-normal pressures in the pulmonary arteries. These other tests can help diagnose pulmonary hypertension.
Prevention strategies
- Pulmonary Hypertension
To help prevent pulmonary hypertension, your doctor may recommend controlling certain medical conditions, avoiding certain medicines or illegal drugs, and protecting yourself against environmental hazards that are risk factors.

Signs, Symptoms, and Complications - Pulmonary Hypertension
and of pulmonary hypertension are sometimes hard to recognize, because they are similar to those of other medical conditions. People may have symptoms for years before being diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. These symptoms may get worse over time and could eventually lead to serious complications such as right heart failure.
Signs and symptoms
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Signs and symptoms of pulmonary hypertension may include the following:
- Chest pain
- Cough that is dry or may produce blood
- Hoarseness
- Light-headedness, fainting, or dizziness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Shortness of breath, first with physical activity and then without it as the disease gets worse
- Swelling of your abdomen, legs, or feet caused by fluid buildup
- Weakness
- Wheezing
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Complications of pulmonary hypertension may include the following:
- Anemia
- Arrhythmias and bundle branch blocks of the heart
- Blood clots in the pulmonary arteries
- Bleeding in the lungs, which may be life-threatening
- Heart failure, especially right ventricular failure
- Liver damage from increased pressure in the right heart
- Pericardial , which is a collection of fluid in the sac-like structure around the heart
- Pregnancy complications that can be life-threatening for the mother and baby
Look for
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Diagnosis - Pulmonary Hypertension
To diagnose pulmonary hypertension, your doctor may ask you questions about your medical history and do a physical exam. Your doctor may also test you for pulmonary hypertension based on your signs and symptoms and risk factors. A diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension will be made if tests show higher-than-normal pressure in the pulmonary arteries.
Confirming high pressures in the pulmonary arteries
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Normal pressure in the pulmonary arteries is between 11 and 20 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) when measured by cardiac catheterization. Your doctor may perform the following tests to confirm high pressures in the pulmonary arteries.
- Cardiac catheterization to provide a definite diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension. A diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is made if the pulmonary artery pressure is 25 mm Hg or greater while at rest.
- Echocardiography to estimate pulmonary artery pressure. An estimated pulmonary artery pressure of 35 to 40 mm Hg or greater on echocardiography suggests pulmonary hypertension. A diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension may be made when enough changes are seen on an echocardiogram. If the echocardiogram suggests pulmonary hypertension, then right heart catheterization may be the next step.
Medical history and physical exam
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Your doctor may ask you about any signs and symptoms you have been experiencing and any risk factors such as other medical conditions you have.
Your doctor will also perform a physical exam to look for signs that may help diagnose your condition. As part of this exam, your doctor may do the following:
- Check whether the oxygen levels in your blood are low. This may be done by pulse oximetry, in which a probe is placed on your finger to check your oxygen levels.
- Feel your liver to see if it is larger than normal.
- Listen to your heart to see if there are changes in how it sounds, and also to find out if your heartbeat is faster than normal or irregular or if you have a new heart murmur.
- Listen to your lungs for sounds that could be caused by heart failure or interstitial lung disease.
- Look at the veins in your neck to see if they are larger than normal.
- Look for swelling in your abdomen and legs that may be caused by fluid buildup.
- Measure your blood pressure.
Diagnostic tests
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Your doctor may order blood tests and imaging tests to help diagnose pulmonary hypertension.
- Blood tests to look for increased risk of blood clots, stress on the heart, or anemia.
- Cardiac MRI to get detailed pictures of the structure and functioning of the heart and surrounding blood vessels.
- Chest X-ray to look at the size and shape of the heart and surrounding blood vessels, including the pulmonary arteries.
- Echocardiogram (echo) to look for signs of pulmonary hypertension and also study the heart's structure and functioning. If the echocardiogram suggests pulmonary hypertension, then right heart catheterization may be the next step.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) to look for signs of changes in your heart or abnormal rhythms in your heart's electrical activity caused by pulmonary hypertension. You may still have pulmonary hypertension if you have a normal ECG.
Tests for other medical conditions
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Your doctor may order additional tests to see whether another condition or medicine may be causing your pulmonary hypertension. Doctors can use this information to develop your treatment plan.

- Return to Risk Factors to review family history, medical conditions, or other factors that increase your risk of developing pulmonary hypertension.
- Return to Signs, Symptoms, and Complications to review common signs and symptoms of pulmonary hypertension.
Treatment - Pulmonary Hypertension
If you are diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, your doctor will determine your treatment plan based on the cause of disease, if it is known. Your doctor may recommend healthy lifestyle changes, medicines, or other treatments aimed at keeping your symptoms from getting worse, increasing your ability to exercise, improving heart function, and ensuring a better quality of life. There is no cure for pulmonary hypertension unless chronic blood clots in the lungs are the cause.
Healthy lifestyle changes
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Depending on the cause of your pulmonary hypertension, your doctor may recommend healthy lifestyle changes.
- Heart-healthy eating, which includes eating less salt, to lower blood pressure or cholesterol if high levels of these contributed to the cause of your pulmonary hypertension. Eating less salt will help control your body fluids and may improve heart function.
- Physical activity as recommended and supervised by your doctor
- Physical rehabilitation to improve your ability to exercise and also boost your quality of life
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Medicines to treat pulmonary hypertension may include:
- Anticoagulation or blood thinners to prevent blood clots in people whose pulmonary hypertension is caused by chronic blood clots in the lungs. These thinners also can help some people who have pulmonary arterial hypertension, heart failure, or other risk factors for blood clots.
- Digitalis, or digoxin to control the rate blood is pumped throughout the body.
- Vasodilator therapy to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure in the pulmonary artery most affected in people who have pulmonary arterial hypertension. This includes calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine and diltiazem, as well as newer groups of medicines called endothelin receptor antagonists and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.
Procedures and therapies
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Your doctor may recommend a procedure, surgery, or therapy to treat pulmonary hypertension.
- Oxygen therapy if oxygen levels in the blood are too low.
- Balloon atrial septostomy to decrease pressure in the right heart chambers and improve the output of the left heart and oxygenation of the blood. In this procedure, a small hole is made in the wall between the right and left to allow blood to flow from the right to the left atrium.
- Balloon pulmonary angioplasty to lower the blood pressure in your pulmonary artery and improve heart function in people who cannot have a pulmonary endarterectomy.
- Pulmonary endarterectomy surgery to remove blood clots from the inside of the blood vessels of the lungs.
Treatments for other conditions
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Your doctor may recommend medicines or procedures to treat the condition that is causing your pulmonary hypertension.
- Blood pressure medicines such as angiotensin-converting enzymes inhibitors, beta blockers, or calcium channel blockers when left heart disease is the cause
- Blood transfusions or hydroxyurea to treat sickle cell disease
- Heart valve repair
- Iron supplements to increase blood iron levels and improve anemia

After you are diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, it is important to follow your treatment plan, get regular care, and learn how to monitor your condition. Taking these steps can slow down the progression of the disease and may improve your condition. Your specific treatment plan will depend on the cause of your pulmonary hypertension, as well as how advanced it is.
Receive routine follow-up care
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Your follow-up care may include recommendations such as these:
- Participate in support groups, counseling, and education efforts that can help you manage the activities of daily living, experience a successful pregnancy, and generally improve the quality of your life.
- Get the recommended vaccines, which often include a vaccine for pneumococcus and an influenza, or flu, shot every year at the start of flu season.
Return to Treatment to review possible treatment options for your pulmonary hypertension.
Monitor your condition
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Talk to your doctor about new or concerning symptoms. People who have pulmonary hypertension may need regular tests. Your doctor may recommend the following to monitor your condition and treatment response:
- Six-minute walk test to monitor your ability to exercise
- Blood tests to check hemoglobin, iron, and electrolyte levels; kidney, liver, and thyroid function; your blood's ability to clot; and signs of stress on the heart
- Cardiac catheterization
- Cardiac MRI to monitor your heart's size and how well it is working
- Chest X-ray
- Echocardiography to monitor your heart's size and how well it is working, and measure the pressure in your right heart chambers
- Electrocardiogram to check for irregular heartbeats
- Pulmonary function tests to check for any change in your lung function
If your pulmonary hypertension is severe or does not respond to treatment, your doctor may talk to you about a lung transplant or a heart and lung transplant.
Prevent complications over your lifetime
- Pulmonary Hypertension
To help prevent some of the complications of pulmonary hypertension, your doctor may recommend the following.
- Make heart-healthy lifestyle changes such as heart-healthy eating if your pulmonary hypertension is due to heart failure from ischemic heart disease or high blood pressure.
- Engage in regular physical activity. Before starting any exercise program, ask your doctor about what level of physical activity is right for you.
- Avoid high altitudes when possible and discuss with your doctor any plans for air travel or visits to places at high altitude.
- Talk to your doctor if you are planning to get pregnant, as there is an increased risk of pregnancy complications.
- Treat other medical conditions, such as COPD, heart conditions, and sleep apnea.
Learn the warning signs of serious complications and have a plan
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Even with treatment, pulmonary hypertension may lead to serious complications such as heart failure and arrhythmias. Know the signs and symptoms of pulmonary hypertension and how to recognize the possible complications.
If you are taking a blood thinner, this will increase your risk of bleeding. If you experience any abnormal bleeding, such as blood in your stool, black stool, or coughing up blood, contact your doctor right away. If you fall while taking a blood thinner, you are at higher risk for bleeding inside your head. Let your doctor know if you have fallen while taking a blood thinner.
Some treatments for pulmonary hypertension must be given through a long-term intravenous (IV) line. Call your doctor right away if you have any signs of infection. Signs of infection include redness, swelling, or yellow discharge where the IV is inserted; a fever of 100.3°F or higher; and chills.

We are committed to advancing science and translating discoveries into clinical practice to promote the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders, including pulmonary hypertension. Learn about the current and future NHLBI efforts to improve health through research and scientific discovery.
Improving health with current research
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Learn about the following ways the NHLBI continues to translate current research into improved health for people with pulmonary hypertension. Research on this topic is part of the NHLBI's broader commitment to advancing lung disease scientific discovery.
- The NHLBI Accelerates Translation of Discoveries into Innovative Approaches. The Vascular Interventions/Innovations and Therapeutic Advances (VITA) Program is a translational program that supports and accelerates early-stage development of promising diagnostics and treatments. VITA seeks to address unmet clinical needs for vascular diseases, particularly in underserved medical communities.
- The NHLBI Advances Personalized Medicine for Pulmonary Hypertension. The NHLBI and the Cardiovascular Medical Research and Education Fund held a workshop that addressed multiple topics that are central to the development of true personalized medicine in pulmonary vascular disease, including pulmonary hypertension. The workshop also identified needs and made recommendations to the NHLBI for future research priorities in this area.
- The NHLBI Stimulates New Treatment Approaches for Pulmonary Hypertension. Our Centers for Advanced Diagnostics and Experimental Therapeutics in Lung Diseases (CADET) program was created to fund the development of new drugs and diagnostics for pulmonary diseases and sleep-disordered breathing. Researchers in this program have discovered a new way to stop and potentially reverse the changes that occur with pulmonary hypertension through the use of antibodies that target two proteins which contribute to the disease. Visit NHLBI Supports CADET Researchers to Produce New Pulmonary Disease Drugs (Part 3) for more information.
Learn about the pioneering research contributions we have made that improved clinical care.
- The NHLBI helped establish the first registry of patients who have a type of pulmonary hypertension. The NHLBI established the Patient Registry for Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH Registry) to learn about the causes, natural history, and outcomes of patients who have pulmonary hypertension. Patients were enrolled from 32 medical centers across the United States and were followed for five years. Before the NHLBI PPH registry was established, little was known about the disease. Since its development, the registry has formed the basis of comparison studies on pulmonary arterial hypertension.
- The NHLBI hosted a working group to advance the detection and prediction of complications from blood diseases. The Blood Diagnostic Working Group explored new technologies for diagnosing and predicting diseases and complications such as pulmonary hypertension in sickle cell disease. Visit Blood Diagnostics Working Group — Blood Diagnostics: Blood will tell!
- The NHLBI supports research on new treatments for pulmonary hypertension. NHLBI-supported researchers identified ways to stop the growth of cells that contribute to the narrowing of blood vessels in the lungs. This work may help in the discovery of new medicines to treat or prevent pulmonary hypertension. Read Researchers find new targets for treating pulmonary hypertension to learn more about this research.
Advancing research for improved health
- Pulmonary Hypertension
In support of our mission, we are committed to advancing pulmonary hypertension research in part through the following ways.
- We perform research. Our Division of Intramural Research, which includes investigators from the Sickle Cell Branch, is actively engaged in the study of pulmonary hypertension.
- We fund research. The research we fund today will help improve our future health. Our Division of Lung Diseases and its Lung Biology and Disease Branch oversee much of the research on pulmonary hypertension that we fund. Search the NIH RePORTER to learn about research the NHLBI funds on pulmonary hypertension.
- We stimulate high-impact research. Our Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) Program now includes participants who have pulmonary hypertension. This work may help us understand how genes contribute to differences in disease severity and to how patients respond to treatment, particularly in patients who have sickle cell disease. The NHLBI Strategic Vision highlights ways we may support research over the next decade, including research on pulmonary hypertension.
Learn about exciting research areas the NHLBI is exploring about pulmonary hypertension.
- Better understanding pulmonary hypertension in people who have HIV. The NHLBI is supporting research to understand why people with HIV develop pulmonary hypertension.
- Developing new treatments by understanding the role of estrogen in pulmonary hypertension. Estrogen may help heart function, but it may also increase the risk of pulmonary hypertension. A better understanding may help develop new treatments for pulmonary hypertension that target estrogen pathways.
- Gaining insight into the genetics of pulmonary hypertension. In the Pulmonary Hypertension and the Hypoxic Response in Sickle Cell Disease (PUSH) trial, researchers are looking at genetic information that may help predict which patients with sickle cell disease are at higher risk for pulmonary hypertension. Other researchers are looking at the genetic changes that may lead to pulmonary hypertension in people who have an inherited disease called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and potential new treatments to correct these genetic changes.
- Learning about pulmonary hypertension in adults who have sickle cell disease. We are interested in why some adults with sickle cell disease later develop pulmonary hypertension. A better understanding may help develop ways to prevent pulmonary hypertension in these patients.
- Learning more about the causes of pulmonary hypertension. One of the Compelling Questions in the NHLBI Strategic Vision addresses learning more about heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which is a cause of pulmonary hypertension.

New York marijuana activist Dana Beal has been arrested again in the Midwest, this time with 150 pounds of pot. Nebraska police apprehended Beal and two others in a van on Wednesday in Ashland near Interstate 80 (just West of Omaha) after the vehicle was stopped for driving erratically. Bail was set at $500,000.
Dana Beal was last seen in San Francisco at the NORML Conference. Presumably, he was driving back from California when the bust took place.
The Cures Not Wars founder has had numerous run-ins with the law, the most recent of which came last June when Illinois authorities confiscated a small amount of marijuana and $150,000 from him. This past May, Beal pled guilty to the pot charge and paid a fine, but the cash was not returned.
Beal organizes the annual Global Marijuana March each May.
