Food glorious food temptsthousands at trade show

NEW YORK A blond woman in fishnet stockings and a bluebodysuit with the word "Police stitched on the lapel standsinside Jacob K. Javits Convention Center offering samples of

bagels. When she notices a visitor with a camera, she asks,"Would you like me to pose?"Nearby, Brenda Lee Mojica points to dozens of delectable-lookingpastries at Lecoq Cuisines booth."Would you like to try anything?" she said.Thought youd never ask.

The International Restaurant and Foodservice Show, which wrapsup today, is ostensibly a trade show for the food industry, with550 vendors and such on-site events as the Ultimate BaristaChallenge, the U.S. Pastry Competition and the New York WineExpo.It is also seemingly miles of aisles of free food from gelato,chocolate wafers, Jamaican coffee, cassoulet, pate, flatbreadsand Parmesan peppercorn crackers to duck, lamb, vacuumed

fried vegetables, and savory red crab and meat combos, offeredby companies from here to Tokyo.Resistance, you quickly discover, is futile."This one is completely natural. Smell it first," cooed a rep atHarvest Song preserves."I think you should try some," John McLaughlin said of his hotsauces, preserves and sodas from Wyckoff-based Heartbreaking

Visitors check out a food truck made by Custom Mobile Food Equipment ofHammonton.

The trade show is much more than just tasty temptation at everyturn; it is a showcase for the latest in food equipment andtechnology. Ovens and ranges, chocolate melters andconcentrated topping bases, and, over in the Japanese Pavilion,fearsome-looking kitchen knives and a "revolving sushi factory" a handsome rectangular box with a moving belt to displaysushi.Dr. Smoothie and the Teaologist were at the show ... and so

were Allergy Chefs Inc. One booth advertised "100 percentcompostable, biodegradable, microwaveable, waterproof, oil-proof and non-toxic" tableware. Another promised to "Unleashthe Taste."Then there was the guy in the bowling shirt and his faithful travelcompanion a white refrigerator door.The door is named "Fridgie," and it goes to every trade show thatPage Mesher attends."The only door that has frequent flier miles," said Mesher,president of Off the Wall Magnetics.

The company makes refrigerator magnets. "Theyre a tried andtrue promotional product," Mesher said. "Restaurants need to bein a customers kitchen. If youre in the pizza business and notdoing magnets, youre not going to be in the pizza business for

long."

How many magnets has Off the Wall, in business 20 years,made?"When we made our billionth, I stopped counting," Mesherreplied.You dont have to tell Guy Selph that gourmet food trucks are

suddenly the rage. Selph is in charge of sales and marketing atCustom Mobile Food Equipment, a Hammonton company in

business for 55 years. The Atlantic County, family-ownedbusiness makes food carts, kiosks, scooters, mobile kitchens, icecream vans, even emergency service food trucks for the likes ofthe Red Cross.Building a truck takes eight to 10 weeks; prices range from$60,000 to about $265,000.

company president Joel Green was showing off the latest kitchenequipment, particularly a 40-inch by 40-inch Blodgett convectionoven at his booth."The new big thing is green," Green said. "Everyone wants to

control costs. theyre looking for that one piece of equipment thatwill do the work of five pieces of equipment."Over at Forgione Associates, Theresa Forgione was bringing theheat. The Queens food broker offered samples of Cholula hotsauce, dubbed "the flavorful fire.""People want flavor in their food, not just heat," Forgioneexplained.The free food went on and on: lamb sausage from Le Bec FineFoods in Linden; duck from Crescent Duck Farm on Long Island;

pork sausage from Fossil Farms in Boonton.Edible flowers, why not? San Marcos, Calif.-based Fresh Originsoffers 350 varieties of edible flowers, micro greens, "tinyveggies" and more. They even crystallize flowers and greens,turning them into displays that can last up to two years withoutrefrigeration.Boscos Family Foods offered Karl Ehmer chicken bratwurst,

Alpine ham, andouille, farmers salami and dry-cured bacon,while McLaughlin, from Heartbreaking Dawns, talked about goingfrom abstract painter to food maker.

"Foods my medium. I dont even paint anymore," he said.The company name? Its from French poet Arthur Rimbaud: "But

truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are heartbreaking."Its probably a good idea to save the shochu for last at a tradeshow like this. The distilled liquor long popular in Japan Japanese samurai not only drank it, but used it to cure injuriesafter battle is now making inroads in America.

Stem Cells Can Repair a Damaged CorneaScienceDaily (Mar. 5, 2012) A new cornea may be theonly way to prevent a patient going blind -- but there is ashortage of donated corneas and the queue fortransplantation is long. Scientists at the SahlgrenskaAcademy have for the first time successfully cultivated stemcells on human corneas, which may in the long term removethe need for donators.

Approximately 500 corneal transplantations are carried out each year inSweden, and about 100,000 in the world. The damaged and cloudy corneathat is turning the patient blind is replaced with a healthy, transparent one.But the procedure requires a donated cornea, and there is a severeshortage of donated material. This is particularly the case throughout theworld, where religious or political views often hinder the use of donated

material.Replacing donated corneasScientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, havetaken the first step towards replacing donated corneas with corneascultivated from stem cells.Scientists Charles Hanson and Ulf Stenevi have used defective corneasobtained from the ophthalmology clinic at Sahlgrenska University Hospital

in Mlndal. Their study is now published in the journal ActaOphthalmologica, and shows how human stem cells can be caused todevelop into what are known as "epithelial cells" after 16 days' culture inthe laboratory and a further 6 days' culture on a cornea. It is the epithelialcells that maintain the transparency of the cornea.

First time ever on human corneas"Similar experiments have been carried out on animals, but this is the firsttime that stem cells have been grown on damaged human corneas. Itmeans that we have taken the first step towards being able to use stemcells to treat damaged corneas," says Charles Hanson."If we can establish a routine method for this, the availability of material forpatients who need a new cornea will be essentially unlimited. Both thesurgical procedures and the aftercare will also become much moresimple," says Ulf Stenevi.Few clinics conduct tranplants

Only a few clinics are currently able to transplant corneas. Many of thetransplantations in Sweden are carried out at the ophthalmology clinic atSahlgrenska University Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology, Mlndal.

Obama cuts refinance costs

for some mortgages

http://money.cnn.com/2012/03/06/real_estate/obama_mortgages/index.htm?iid=HP_LN

The new fees are for borrowers whose FHA loans were issued beforeJune 1, 2009. An estimated 2 to 3 million borrowers could take

advantage of the savings, which could reduce mortgage payments forthe typical FHA borrower by about a thousand dollars a year,according to the administration.Borrowers who refinance their existing FHA loans will pay an upfrontinsurance premium equal to 0.1% of the mortgage amount -- $100 fora $100,000 loan -- plus an annual fee of 0.55%.The fees being announced for refinancing contrast sharply with thecost of obtaining a new FHA loan, according to Jaret Seiberg, ananalyst with the Washington Research Group. A borrower making a3.5% down payment on a home purchase as of April 1 will pay a1.75% upfront fee and a 1.25% annual fee.Those purchase feeswere raised barely a week ago to improve the FHA's capital reserve.Has Obama's housing policy failed?Still, lowering refinancing fees "should be broadly positive for housingand the economy by reducing foreclosures and freeing up income forconsumers to spend on other goods and services," Seiberg said.The new policy will also make it easier for the banks to refinanceloans because it directs the FHA to not count these refinanced loanstoward the lender's "compare ratio." That calculates the

performances of loans issued by the lenders and compares it to otherlenders's performances.Some lenders have not wanted to refinance FHA loans because theytended to have been made during years of high default rates,according to Seiberg. The administration proposal eliminates thedownside to banks making these refinance loans.This FHA refinance fee reduction is the latest in along line of

administration initiativesintended to jump start the housing marketand, by extension, the economy.It can be thought of as an addition to the Home Affordable RefinanceProgram (HARP). The program enables borrowers with mortgagesbacked by Fannie Mae (FNMA,Fortune 500) or Freddie Mac (FRE)to refinance even when they are deep underwater on their loans,owing far more than their homes are worth.By reducing mortgage payments, both HARP and the new FHA feesfree up money that could now be spent on other things like consumergoods.
