Chef Ben Pollinger, Oceana, NYC

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 19, 2012

Ben Pollinger, Executive Chef of New York City’s Oceana will appear on the Today Show on NBC, Monday morning May 21, where he will be cooking with Kathie Lee and Hoda. Chef Pollinger will be wearing Crooked Brook chef coat style M101, made of White 100% cotton gabardine fabric, a left chest welt pocket, with Blue Suede piping on the collar, cuffs and pocket, and natural Abalone shell buttons.

Embroidery placement is as follows:

About Ben Pollinger

Executive Chef Ben Pollinger leads New York City’s Oceana with a distinctive style of cooking that artfully blends the finest seafood with the best ingredients from a global pantry. His creations express a dedication to seasonal products and classic technique with a vast array of flavor profiles.

“My goal is to intrigue our guests’ palates with the incredible nuances in seafood,” he says. “I cook every dish with that idea in mind, catering to those bright and fresh flavors.”

In addition to maintaining Oceana’s Michelin star for four consecutive years, Pollinger has received outstanding reviews from the New York Post’s Steve Cuozzo and Crain’s Gael Greene. In his three-star review, former The New York Times critic Frank Bruni called Pollinger’s cooking “an exhilarating voyage,” and in 2009, Sam Sifton of The New York Times named his Whole Curried Fried Pink Snapper one of the top 11 dishes of the year. Pollinger and his work have also been featured on programs like “The Today Show”; ABC News “Chef’s Table”, and Esquire named him a rising star chef.

A native of New Jersey, Pollinger graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, as class valedictorian and moved to Monte Carlo to work at the world-renowned Le Louis XV under Chef Alain Ducasse. Upon returning to New York, Pollinger worked for Chef Christian Delouvrier at Les Celebrites and Lespinasse. He spent more than seven years expanding his repertoire with Chef Michael Romano at Union Square Café and Chef Floyd Cardoz at Tabla. Throughout his early career, he developed his particular passion for seafood, intrigued by the broad variety of possibilities and the challenge of preparing delicate ingredients with subtlety and aplomb.

Through his work and extensive travels in France, Italy, and Spain, Pollinger has deepened his appreciation for seasonal ingredients and regional flavors. He gained a profound respect for the complexities that go into creating a stellar dish: the devotion of farmers to the soil and the fishermen to their day’s catch; the thoughtful application of precise techniques to pure ingredients; and the exchange between chefs and the diners they host. As an avid gardener, Pollinger also finds inspiration for his 500-sqaure-foot organic garden at home in New Jersey, which often provides the herbs and spices that flavor his menus for Oceana. When he joined Oceana as executive chef in 2006, he brought with him the skills and desire to create an extraordinary dining experience based on this philosophy. Coupled with his kitchen leadership, Pollinger reflects the Livanos family’s commitment to professionalism and excellence in hospitality.

Pollinger, a father of three children, donates his time to various charitable organizations outside of the kitchen, such as City Harvest, Share Our Strength, Autism Speaks, and the James Beard Foundation. He also serves on the Curriculum Advisory Committee at the French Culinary Institute and is an advisor to the Alaskan Seafood Marketing Institute and the Gohan Society.

The ships will then form a procession as they leave Southampton and head down the Solent. Where the channel widens, the ships will move into a formation to be photographed from the air before they sail onwards to their various destinations.

Departing on July 3, 2012, all seven cruises will be heritage themed with special on board entertainment including a 175th Anniversary Gala dinner, heritage display, guest speakers and more.

The MLM Superheroes Showcase ViSalus Sciences TONIGHT!

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) April 17, 2012

The MLM Superheroes – Independent Promoters of ViSalus Sciences and their Body By Vi-90 Day Challenge announce that they will be hosting an exclusive and private V.I.P webinar tonight, Tuesday, April 17th, 2012 at 7:00 pm PST, 10:00 pm EST. Participants are advised to get there early as The MLM Superheroes say that the webinar is already running over capacity and will be bursting at the seams.

ViSalus Sciences is a health and wellness company that proudly makes a positive impact on Life, Health, and Prosperity worldwide every day thanks to a thriving community of passionate people. The company’s Body by Vi 90-Day Challenge combines leading health products with the support to help people achieve their weight loss and fitness goals, save money along the way, and win from millions in prizes every year.

The MLM Superheroes are an elite team of online and offline marketers that travel the world, freeing people from Corporate bondage; helping to open up a doorway to a life of complete and total freedom.

The team is headed up by international entrepreneur Darren Little – who launched Pamela Anderson’s career in 1989 with Labatt’s Brewing Company. Little also launched Bingo.com, Blackjack.com, Ableauctions.com and a host of other products and services.

“Typically when I am looking to get involved with a company, I look for what I call category creators” said Little in a recent interview. “ViSalus Sciences in my opinion is not only a category creator but it’s the first company that I’ve seen to completely take away the “stigma” of MLM. Their product is “The Challenge” and that Challenge is different for everyone”.

Little went on to say that ViSalus focuses on people’s lifestyle goals and then matches a kit that is designed to help them achieve those goals. So instead of selling products, the company sells kits. This is something that is a complete trendsetter in the industry. Couple that with the “Get 3 and it’s Free” product incentive and an exciting BMW car program and ViSalus has created an industry phenomenon like no one has ever seen before in the North American market.

Tonight on this exclusive and private webinar, The MLM Superheroes will be unveiling the shocking truth about – why 97% of the entire industry is failing in MLM and what you need to do to hit a home run.

ViSalus is currently experiencing record growth. According to a Company press release – their sales grew seven fold from $ 34 million in 2010 to a staggering $ 231 million in 2011. ViSalus was featured in an exclusive insert in the Wall Street Journal called “Why Now Is Prime Time for Direct Selling”.

Plasma Profile Graph from PK Modeling

Cary, NC (PRWEB) April 26, 2012

Anxieties about blockbuster drugs coming off patent in the pharmaceutical industry have led to many companies looking for alternative barriers to competition for their older products. It has also sparked a renewed interest in finding new indications for off patent drug molecules. These companies are seeking out PharmaDirections to take advantage of their PK modeling tools and formulation development techniques that can lead to new intellectual property or can prolong the market life of old products.

While most new drugs are protected by their composition of matter (COM) patents, their patent life is only 20 years and up to 12 years of that could be used up in development and clinical testing (California BioMedical Research Organization). The companies who need to extend patent life beyond the COM or who have found new indications are increasing looking for new ways to protect their franchise. PharmaDirections provides a multitude of techniques to help them out.

One of PharmaDirections’ most useful techniques is combining pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling with formulation development. The scientists at PharmaDirections are skilled in evaluating existing clinical and PK data in order to find problems that can be solved with new approaches. The use PK modeling to find a plasma profile that will solve an existing problem and then work backwards to design a corresponding in-vivo dissolution profile. The formulation development exerts can use that dissolution to design a novel formulation. When the reduction to practice is completed, it is the pharmacokinetic parameters that are claimed which effectively prohibits generic competition. All intellectual property generated by PharmaDirections is considered “works for hire” which means that clients do not have to pay royalties or residuals.

Combining formulation development with pharmacokinetic modeling has led to over 10 patents that have been filed for PharmaDirections’ clients. The additional emphasis will allow these techniques to be offered to an increasing number of similar projects.

About PharmaDirections:

PharmaDirections is a consulting and project management company with a unique approach to managing preclinical, CMC and regulatory affairs programs. We provide strategic planning then oversee and direct the pharmaceutical contract research using our own scientific experts and project managers at our sub-contractors. We are a comprehensive R&D resource for pharmaceutical and biotech companies who need drug product development, but want to remain lean and virtual.
