Open Question: Can i get into unc ch?

I got 2 c’s this year, in honors spanish 5 (year long along with AP spanish…is an honors class this semester, but is taught at the ap level) and ap environmental science, but if i can get 3 a’s this year, my unweighted gpa will be a 3.5 and my weighted will be a 4.54. I am in nhs, have played piano for 10 years, have danced for 10 years, teach piano, am the vice president of a culinary club, volunteered at duke hospital for 6 weeks, and will volunteer at duke,rex, and/or unc hospitals this summer. I have gotten a bronze presidential award and a mayors award for volunteering. I did a volunteer/internship thing alongside an ophtalmologist in India and will probably go visit Spain with a school group to advance my Spanish this summer. I am also in the top 10% for my school ranking. I just took the SAT for the first time, but I’m pretty sure i bombed it, (1600ish). I think my college essay will be good, and i will have great teacher recommendations. If i take it one or two more times, I am sure i can get at least a 2000. Do you think I can get into UNC CH?; it is the school i really really want to go to, but State is my second chioce I live in state! My weighted gpa has and will be a 4.5 freshman, sophomore, and junior year…will colleges not like that i have not “improved” although i’ve been taking super challenging courses every year? Freshman year: 4 academic, 4 honors…………………8 A’s
Sophomore year: 7 honors, 1 AP………………………..3 A’s 5 B’s
Junior year: 4 AP, 4 honors…………………………….… A’s 2 C’s 4 B’s

Indole compounds in some culinary-medicinal higher basidiomycetes from poland.

Int J Med Mushrooms. 2011; 13(5): 449-54
Muszynska B, Sutkowska-Ziaja K, Ekiert H

Methanolic extracts of two species collected from natural habitats in Poland, Boletus edulis and Suillus luteus, and one species from a commercial source, Pleurotus ostreatus, were analyzed for the presence of non-hallucinogenic indole compounds. The contents of indole compounds in these species were both qualitatively and quantitatively diverse, ranging from 0.01 to 34.11 mg/100 g d.w. Two of 11 tested indole compounds, 5-hydroxytryptophan (0.18, 2.08, 1.63 mg/100 g d.w.) and serotonin (6.52, 10.14, 34.11 mg/100 g d.w.), were present in all three species under study. B. edulis and S. luteus were found to contain L-tryptophan (0.39 and 2.61 mg/100g d.w.) and melatonin (0.68 and 0.71 mg/100 g d.w.). Tryptamine was present in two species, i.e., B. edulis (1.17 mg/100 g d.w.) and in P. ostreatus (0.91mg/100 g d.w.), in which slight amounts of indole acetonitrile (0.04 and 0.01 mg/100 g d.w., respectively) were also identified. Indoleacetic acid was a common metabolite for P. ostreatus and S. luteus and its contents amounted to 0.21 and 0.04 mg/100 g d.w., respectively. Indole compounds degradation products kynurenic acid (2.63 mg/100 g d.w.) and kynurenine sulfate were (19.57 mg/100 g d.w.) were observed only in S. luteus.

Open Question: weight watchers question?

I’m on weight watchers points plus 2012 and I’ve been doing pretty well on it seeing how I didn’t have much to lose in the first place. But for my senior year I wanted to take Culinary Arts as an elective because I’ve always wanted to learn how to cook. My problem is I’m worried that I’ll eat a lot of what we would make seeing how you get to take home what you make half the time. There isn’t really any other elective that I either haven’t taken or want to take so is it worth taking or should I try something else? I know nothing about cooking so that’s why I wanted to take it and my friends have told me to just not eat anything that you make, but if that was the case I wouldn’t be on Weight Watchers in the 1st place. I was also considering Culinary as a career choice but I don’t wanna end up on Fat Chef.

Antiproliferation effect of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) on human ovarian cancer cells in vitro.

Phytomedicine. 2012 Feb 8;
Tai J, Cheung S, Wu M, Hasman D

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a popular culinary/medicinal herb. Recent studies have shown it has pharmacologic activities for cancer chemoprevention and therapy. This study evaluated the antiproliferation activity of rosemary extract (RE) against human ovarian cancer cells, and whether the extract and its three main active ingredients carnosol (CS), carnosic acid (CA) and rosmarinic acid (RA) can enhance the antiproliferation activity of cisplatin (CDDP). Our study showed that RE has significant antiproliferation activity on human ovarian cancer A2780 and its CDDP resistant daughter cell line A2780CP70, with IC(50) (50% inhibitory concentration) estimated at 1/1000 and 1/400 dilutions respectively. RE enhanced the antiproliferation effect with CDDP on both A2780 and A2780CP70 cells. A2780 cells were consistently more sensitive to CS, CA, and RA than A2780CP70 cells between 2.5 and 20μg/ml. CS and RA also showed synergistic antiproliferation effect with CDDP on A2780 cells at some concentrations. RE treated by ultrafiltration, dialysis, and removal of phenolics lost the antiproliferation activity suggested that the activity resides in phenolics with MW

Antitumor Effect of Culinary-Medicinal Oyster Mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.: Fr.) P. Kumm., Derived Protein Fraction on Tumor-Bearing Mice Models.

Int J Med Mushrooms. 2011; 13(5): 427-40
Maiti S, Mallick SK, Bhutia SK, Behera B, Mandal M, Maiti TK

Previously, we reported the in vitro anticancer and immunomodulatory effect of a protein fraction designated as Cibacron blue affinity purified protein (CBAEP) obtained from the culinary-medicinal oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus. In the present study, we investigated the in vivo antitumor potential of CBAEP in different tumor-bearing mice models and studied the detailed mechanism of tumor regression in Dalton lymphoma (DL)-bearing mice. The lethal dose (LD50) of CBAEP was found to be 55 mg/kg body weight and sublethal doses (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg body weight) showed a prolonged tumor survival time in DL, Sarcoma-180, and B16F0 melanoma tumor-bearing mice. Further, CBAEP reduced about 35.68 and 51.43% DL cell growth in 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight, respectively. The in vivo CBAEP treatment showed an apoptotic feature as demonstrated in morphological study and sub-G0/G1 population in cell cycle and Western blot of DL cells. CBAEP also activated immunosuppression condition in DL tumor-bearing host. It also stimulated immune cells in the presence of nonspecific immunostunulator (LPS and ConA) ex vivo as well as enhanced Th1 response with production of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-2. Moreover, it activated tumor-associated macrophages and NK cells. The present findings revealed the potent antitumor property of CBAEP, which might help in developing a new anticancer drug.
