About Michael Ferraro

As early as childhood, Chef Michael Ferraro’s interest in food took flight revolving around his family’s kitchen table. With Southern Italian parents, Michael was exposed to a style of cooking that fused fine Mediterranean flavors with the quality and freshness of Southern Italy’s ingredients. This authentic Italian home cooking experience paved the road for Michael as he went on to graduate from the Culinary Institute of America at the young age of 20. His driven zeal for the kitchen sparked many prominent opportunities fresh out of the CIA.

Beginning with an internship under Chef Waldy Malouf at Beacon Restaurant, Ferraro’s culinary repertoire continued to flourish. Taking on Chef de Partie at Jean-Georges’, then, two-star restaurant, Mercer Kitchen, he developed and refined his culinary techniques even further. Michael proceeded to New York City’s famed 5-star, 5-diamond Four Seasons Hotel where he served as Chef Tournant. It was here where he extended his skills to all outlets of the hotel, landing him at their fine dining restaurant, Fifty Seven Fifty Seven, pleasing the palettes of New York City’s most exclusive clientele. After spending 3 years with the Four Seasons, Ferraro went on to take the role of Sous Chef at the Biltmore Room working under Chef Gary Robins. At the Biltmore Room, Ferraro was exposed to the creative expressions of Chef Gary Robins’ use of Asian and progressive American cooking techniques. Following the closing of the Biltmore Room, Ferraro took top toque as Chef de Cuisine at Patina Restaurant Groups’ Café Centro.

Drawing on his prior experiences and creativity, Ferraro honed and complimented the classic French flavors at Café Centro by bringing inventive techniques and modern flair to the classic Parisian brasserie. Ferraro’s next move brought him to the fine dining seafood restaurant, Fresh Tribeca.

Ferraro is currently in the kitchen at the popular Soho restaurant, Delicatessen where he has made significant changes to the menu. Ferraro’s vast menu of whimsical comfort food is one you’ll want to select from again and again including such offerings as Roasted Sea Scallops with Sweet Potatoes, Charred Apple, Bacon and Warm Egg Yolk, Grandma’s Meatloaf with Whipped Potatoes and Wilted Kale, and Tuna Tartare with Wasabi Tobiko, Crème Fraiche and Taro Root Chips.

Ferraro is also the Executive Chef of macbar, a restaurant fully dedicated to gourmet macaroni & cheese. Located behind big sister Delicatessen, Chef Ferraro has created a menu full of unique flavors including such standouts asMayan Chipotle with chicken diablo, chihuahua cheese and green onions; Mac Lobsta’ with tender chunks of fresh lobster, cognac, tarragon and marscapone; Mac Quack with duck confit, fontina, caramelized onion and fine herbs; and Carbonara with pancetta, green peas and parmigiano cheese.

His elegantly casual approach to cooking has brought him acclaim from journalists and diners alike.  Chef Ferraro has also been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, Food Network, and the Cooking Channel. This year, Zagat honored Ferraro as one of New York City’s “30-Under-30” Up-and-Coming Chefs to watch.

He will be playing again for The Lustgarten Foundation www.lustgarten.org.

Deep Purple Co-founder Looses Battle with Pancreatic Cancer

 

Jon Lord, the keyboardist and co-founder of Deep Purple, has died. He was 71 years old, andaccording to reports had been receiving treatment for pancreatic cancer since last year.

As a member of Deep Purple, Lord played on all the band’s definitive hits, including their breakout cover of Billy Joe Royal’s “Hush” (Lord’s vibey organ playing gave the song its haunting psychedelic quality) and on the iconic smash “Smoke on the Water,” which he also co-wrote.

All told, Deep Purple sold over 100 million albums worldwide, and the bulk of that business was done during Lord’s first tenure with the band, which lasted from the group’s inception in 1968 until the band collectively went on hiatus in 1976. He rejoined when the group reconstituted in 1984 and retired from the group for good in 2002.

In addition to his work with Deep Purple, Lord also worked with Whitesnake and found considerable success as a classical composer, penning a handful of well-received concertos mostly during the Deep Purple hiatus in the late ’70s.

Through his keyboard work in Deep Purple, Lord is often credited as the artist who made it reasonable for hard rock bands to incorporate strings, horns, and keys into their sounds, leading to the multiplatinum hybrid sounds of bands like Def Leppard and Bon Jovi.

In honor of Lord, check out this clip of him and the rest of Deep Purple playing “Hush” on a 1968 episode of Playboy After Dark:

Sally Ride Dead: First American Woman In Space Dies At 61

Sally Ride, the first American woman to travel into space, died Monday at the age of 61, the Associated Press reported.

The cause of death was pancreatic cancer, according to a statement posted on the website of Sally Ride Science, a science education company she founded in 2001. She had been battling the disease for 17 months.

On June 18, 1983, Ride became the first American woman to fly in space when she blasted off on the Challenger as part of the STS-7 crew, according to NASA.

She flew her second shuttle mission on October 5, 1984, again aboard the Challenger. That mission, STS-41G, was the first shuttle crew to include two women.

After she retired from NASA in 1987, Ride became a member of the faculty of the University of California, San Diego and the California Space Institute, according to a statement posted to Sally Ride Science.
According to its website, Sally Ride Science is "dedicated to supporting girls’ and boys’ interests in science, math and technology."

Ride is survived by her partner Tam O’Shaughnessy, as well as her mother, sister, niece and nephew.

Scientists expose deadly trick behind pancreatic cancer

In the early stages of pancreatic cancer, tumor cells establish an immunosuppressive environment that allows them to grow and divide freely, a discovery that could lead to more effective treatments for this aggressive disease.

Working with mouse models of pancreatic cancer, a team led by Dafna Bar-Sagi, PhD, of the New York University (NYU) School of Medicine in New York City, found that a mutation of the KRAS gene, which is present in 95% of all pancreatic cancers, triggers the expression of a protein known as GM-CSF. GM-CSF then directs accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the area surrounding the tumor. These cells suppress the immune system's natural defense against growing tumor cells.

Blocking GM-CSF production in the cancer cells disrupted the accumulation of the suppressor cells and restored the immune system's tumor-killing response.

“Our study suggests a therapeutic strategy for harnessing the antitumor potential of the immune system,” commented Bar-Sagi in a statement issued by NYU Langone Medical Center/NYU School of Medicine to announce the group's results, which were published in the journal Cancer Cell (2012;21[6]:836-847).
Because the vast majority of human pancreatic cancer samples tested by the investigators expressed the GM-CSF protein prominently, Bar-Sagi expects that the findings will be applicable to a significant proportion of human pancreatic cancer cases and is hopeful that the new information will eventually lead to new drug therapies that block the production or function of the GM-CSF protein. The research may also have implications for colon, lung, and other cancers in which KRAS mutations are prevalent.

What are the warning signs of pancreatic cancer? Is there a test that can diagnose it before symptoms appear? And, is there any way to prevent it?

We turned to Yale pancreatic cancer expert Ronald Salem, M.D., professor of surgery and section chief of surgical oncology at Yale School of Medicine.  He writes: 


“Despite the many advances in cancer therapy, pancreas cancer remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat. In part this is due to the lack of early warning signs and the difficulty in detecting the condition early. Certain individuals, however, are at increased risk of developing this cancer, and careful screening of this population may allow the cancer to be picked up at an early stage
.
“People who have a strong family history of cancer, a history of certain genetic disorders such as the BRCA2 population with breast cancer, for example, have a higher risk of developing pancreas cancer. Heightened attention to vague abdominal symptoms with appropriate radiological evaluation (as necessary) may help identify the condition earlier.

“Individuals who are found to have abnormal liver function tests during routine blood work need to be evaluated further. An increasing number of individuals are being found to have cysts of the pancreas during evaluation for other disorders, and while many of these have no cancer potential, some have the propensity to transform into pancreas cancer. These individuals need to be evaluated by an expert team to determine if intervention is necessary prior to the development of cancer.

“CT scans, MRI and endoscopic ultrasound are the best radiologic tests available to evaluate the pancreas. Often these tests will pick up pancreas abnormalities long before the development of clinical symptoms, allowing intervention to be carried out at an earlier stage.”

Pancreatic Cancer Overview from MD Anderson Cancer Center

Pancreas cancer, also called pancreatic cancer, occurs when cancer cells form in the tissues of the pancreas. About 32,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer are diagnosed each year in the United States. Pancreatic cancer represents only 2 percent of all cancer cases, but it is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, ranking behind lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer. For people whose cancer has not spread, the five-year survival rate is 16 percent. For all patients combined, the one-year survival rate is 24 percent and the five-year rate is about 5 percent.

The main reason for the low survival rate from pancreatic cancer is that it is difficult to detect in its earliest stages. By the time a person has symptoms, the cancer has often reached a large size and spread to other organs. Because the pancreas is deep inside the body, a doctor cannot see or feel tumors during a routine physical exam.

The pancreas has two different functions: It makes enzymes that go to the small intestine to help digest food, and it makes hormones, such as insulin, that are secreted into the bloodstream. Almost all pancreatic cancers start in the cells that line the ducts of the pancreas and are called adenocarcinomas. The ducts of the pancreas allow the flow of enzymes through the pancreas and into the small intestine. Tumors that arise from the hormone-producing cells are much less common.

Surgery, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy are treatment options for pancreatic cancer. Depending on how far the cancer has spread, two or even all of these treatments could be combined. Patients should also consider clinical trials with new treatments as they may offer improved survival. (In a clinical trial, patients voluntarily receive drugs or procedures that already have been researched in successful laboratory or animal studies to find a better way to prevent, diagnose or treat a disease.) Patients should talk to their doctors to learn more about their clinical trial options.

Need-to-Know Anatomy

The pancreas is a 6-inch-long organ located deep within the upper abdomen, surrounded by the stomach, small intestine, liver, and spleen. It is shaped something like a fish, with a head, a midsection called the body, and the tail at the narrow end.
The pancreas helps the body digest food and regulate blood sugar with the help of two kinds of cells: exocrine cells and endocrine cells.

• The exocrine cells of the pancreas make enzymes that aid in digestion. As food enters the stomach, these enzymes leave the pancreas, flowing through the pancreatic duct and into the small intestine, where they help digest fats and proteins.

• A smaller number of cells in the pancreas are endocrine cells. These cells are nestled among the exocrine cells in clusters called islets. They make hormones, such as insulin, that are secreted into the bloodstream and help balance the amount of sugar in the blood.

Both the exocrine and endocrine cells of the pancreas can grow abnormally and become cancerous, but 95 percent of pancreas cancers start in duct cells in the exocrine part of the gland. The most common type is adenocarcinoma.

Causes

Cancer begins in the body's cells, which are constantly dividing and multiplying to replace old, damaged cells. Cancer cells develop because of damage to DNA—a substance in every cell that directs all activities. Some people are prone to having damaged DNA based on inherited genetic syndromes, or a person's DNA can become damaged from an environmental exposure, like smoking. Normally when DNA becomes damaged the body is able to repair it. In cancer cells, the damaged DNA is not repaired. If an abnormal cell begins to divide, it eventually forms a malignant (cancerous) tumor. Like other cancer cells, pancreas cancer cells can travel through the bloodstream to other parts of the body. When cancer spreads from its original site, it is called metastasis.

Risk Factors

The exact cause of pancreatic cancer is not known, but research indicates that people with certain risk factors are more likely than others to develop pancreas cancer. If you think you may be at risk for pancreas cancer, discuss this concern with your doctor.
Age—The risk of pancreatic cancer increases sharply after 50 years of age. At the time of diagnosis, most patients are between 60 and 80 years of age.
Race—African-Americans are more likely to have pancreatic cancer than other ethnic groups.
Smoking—The risk of pancreatic cancer is higher among smokers.
Obesity—People having a body mass index of 30 or greater are more likely to develop pancreatic cancer.
Chronic pancreatitis—This long-term inflammation of the pancreas is linked with a slightly higher risk of pancreas cancer. Chronic pancreatitis may be difficult to diagnose, but most people have symptoms, including abdominal pain.
Sudden onset diabetes or sudden change in blood sugar control (for people with diabetes)— Diabetes, which is being diagnosed increasingly as obesity rates rise, can be both a risk factor and an early symptom of pancreatic cancer. The exact mechanism linking diabetes with pancreatic cancer is being studied, but may be caused by high concentrations of insulin or other hormones.
Family history—Pancreatic cancer seems to run in some families. The exact genes responsible have not been fully identified, but changes in DNA that increase a person's risk for other types of cancer may also increase the risk of pancreatic cancer.
