NATURE By Edie Widder, Ph.D.,
Ocean Research & Conservation Association (ORCA)
Water Color
The open ocean environment is the largest living space on
our planet. In fact it encompasses more than 99.9 percent of
our biosphere. This deep-sea jellyfish, called Atolla wyvillei,
is a common inhabitant of this realm, and can be found in
the Atlantic waters off the Treasure Coast. With its brilliant
red pigmentation and elegant flowing tentacles, it is a beau-
tiful sighting as it swims through the spotlight beams of a
submersible. But even more spectacular is the living light
show it can produce when the lights are extinguished. Touch
one of its lappets, the red petals that encircle the rim of its
bell, and it spews out a stream of blue liquid light that hangs
in the water as a distraction for a predator while the jelly
pulses away into the darkness. If that evasive maneuver fails
and the jelly finds itself trapped in the jaws of its attacker,
then its next line of defense is a spectacular pinwheel of light
that effectively illuminates the predator making it easy prey
for its predators. This is equivalent to the flashing lights and
blaring horn on your car alarm system, designed to draw at-
tention to the burglar, which is why this particular type of
bioluminescent display is called a burglar alarm.

Everyone knows that creative people

Not so fast.
In recent years, cognitive neuro-

what actually happens in the brain

their findings are overturning the
overly simplistic notions of the left

to Dr. Whitney Legler, Psy.D, a clini-

“Current thinking in the neurosci-

to a certain side of the brain or a cer-

There are three brain-wide net-

gan as different from its own and
promptly begin attacking the new
organ.

The Hopkins study found a way to
largely resolve this problem through
a process known as “de-sensitiza-
tion.”

The CliffsNotes version of de-sen-
sitization might go something like
this: “Existing antibodies in a trans-
plant patient’s blood are filtered out.
The patient is then given an infusion
of plasma with other antibodies.
Drugs are then given to destroy any
white blood cells that might attack
the new organ.”

However it's described, the results
of de-sensitization have been im-
pressive.

Another major problem with or-
gan transplants, according to Jaffry,
is “ABO.”

Jaffry explains that if an organ do-
nor is blood type A and the recipient
is blood type O, the recipient's body
will reject the organ. But the issue of
blood type incompatibility has been
successfully treated as far back as
1989 through a process called “plas-
mapheresis.”

Plasmapheresis, says Jaffry, in-
volves removing plasma from the
patient and replacing it with plasma
from pooled or multiple donors.
This, she says, makes the incompat-
ibility of blood types “go away.”

Jaffry also cites “pooled immu-
noglobulins” and “immune absorp-
tion” processes as well as chemo-
therapy drugs such as Rituximab
as key ways of resolving ABO blood
incompatibilities.

Since 31 million Americans current-
ly have some form of chronic kidney
disease, many will eventually need a
kidney transplant or face what's left of
their lives undergoing dialysis.

The de-sensitization process does

Marmalade: A ray of sunshine in gloomy Old San Juan

BY TINA RONDEAU Red Snapper Ceviche with Tostones. Popcorn Shrimp.
White Bean Soup.
Columnist Paella.

Puerto Rico’s slow-motion eco-
nomic crisis has cast a bit of a pall
over Old San Juan’s once-vibrant art
and restaurant scene, but one ray of
sunshine amid the gloom is the Mar-
malade Restaurant on Calle Fortale-
za – hailed by many as the best din-
ing on the island.

The creation of owner Executive
Chef Peter Schintler – a protégé of
Master Chef Peter Timmins and an
alumnus of such restaurants as Le
Cirque in New York and the unique
Le Manior Aux Quat Saisons in Ox-
ford, England – Marmalade Restau-
rant offers only tasting menus with
optional wine pairing.

On a visit a week ago, we were for-
tunate to get a last-minute reserva-
tion, and after walking down For-
taleza past a depressing number of
boarded-up storefronts, we entered
through the ultra-chic wine bar and
were ushered to a very nice table in a
cozy side area just off the modernis-
tic yet elegant main room.

Our server Isaac quickly appeared
and explained the three options: a
four-course tasting menu for $69 a
person, a five-course menu for $79 or
a six-course menu for $89. We chose
the six-course menu, and of course
opted for the wine pairing for an ad-
ditional $56 each.

At Marmalade, each diner gets to
build his or her own tasting menu
from an offering of eight appetizers,
10 intermediate dishes and eight en-
trées – enabling two people to sample
up to dozen different dishes in an eve-
ning. Since that also offered the po-
tential of sampling a dozen different
wines, it clearly seemed the way to go.

For the first course, I decided to

Elegant designer details set waterfront home apart

BY SAMANTHA ROHLFING BAITA
Staff Writer

The 4,500-square-foot residence at
123 Springline Drive on The Anchor
in The Moorings is a stunning mas-
terpiece of impeccable renovation
and spot-on creativity, in a waterfront
location that is second to none.

The Moorings is Vero’s premier wa-
terfront community, The Anchor the
crème de la crème – a gated subdivi-
sion of custom-built luxury homes on
an anchor-shaped peninsula fronting
deepwater canals along the Indian
River Lagoon.

Joe Foglia of Foglia Custom Homes
and Page Franzel of Page 2 Design
headed the creative team that worked
with owners John and Leslie Halsted
on what began as “just a few chang-
es” and developed into a “complete
re-do.” The house, built in 1980, was
taken down to the bare bones and
re-created in each and every detail, a
truly stunning transformation.

After only one face-to-face meet-
ing, says Leslie Halsted, the couple
went back to Ohio and, while they re-

ceived constant updates, they didn’t evocative of sky and sea. Fabrics,

of-pearl shells imparts a golden glow.
One of Leslie Halsted’s favor-

ite features is the flooring, made
of thick oak planks, well-oiled and
waxed, with a top-of-the-line water-
proof layer beneath. “I love them,”
she says, “and my husband does, too,
because they’re sound-absorbing.
There’s no clop!” The wood is framed
by limestone tile, smartly designed
to define each space without imped-
ing the feeling of flow.

Just off the living room is the ex-
panded kitchen, which is open to a
family room overlooking the lagoon.
This required the removal of walls
and resulted in a spacious, inviting
area, with plenty of light from under-
cabinet and recessed ceiling lighting.
A large central island features four
slabs of carefully chosen, perfectly
matched marble, which glows in the
soft light of the hand-blown Juliska
pendants hanging above. From the
kitchen, a passage lined with lighted
glassware display cabinets, leads via
a pocket door into the efficiently de-
signed pantry and laundry beyond.

Leslie Halsted said it had taken
Franzel months to locate the daz-
zling, water-like blue green marble
that Halsted envisioned for the coun-
tertops. The marble’s hues are picked
up in the cozy breakfast area nearby.

Meanwhile, the master sanctuary
soothes with its calming, neutral col-
or palette and abundant natural light,
enhanced further by custom built-
ins, tray ceiling, and an absolutely
dreamy walk-in “celebrity” closet.
From here, unique, double-shuttered
mahogany doors let onto the lanai.
A luxurious retreat, the master bath
is certain to impress even the most
discerning lady, with its large Roman
tub, walk-in rain shower, his/hers
vanities and plantation shutters.

Just down the hall is a guest suite
with French doors that open onto a
fragrant herb garden and charming
little patio, allowing guests to easily
come and go. Here, nestled around a
corner, is a designer office nook with
desk and storage area – the perfect
home workspace.
