May is "Eggs-ceptional" at Bruegger's Bagels

National bagel bakery features eggs for every meal during National Egg Month.

2013-05-02

BURLINGTON, VT, May 02, 2013 (Press-News.org) Bruegger's Bagels kicks off National Egg Month today by highlighting the chain's second-favorite menu item (after fresh-baked New York-style bagels, of course) with an eggs-traordinary happy hour and the return of an eggs-tra special bagel.

Starting May 8 for a limited run, the bagel bakery will bring back its fan-favorite Egg Bagel, voted out of retirement to celebrate the brand's 30th anniversary. Like all of Bruegger's 15-plus varieties, the Egg Bagel is baked fresh all day in each of the chain's more than 300 bakeries.

Guests who prefer their eggs served in one of Bruegger's Bagels' signature egg sandwiches are also in for a treat. Throughout the month of May on its Facebook page, the brand will announce spontaneous happy hour events at participating bakeries, offering its popular egg sandwiches for $1 off the regular price after 2 p.m.

"More and more, people are becoming flexible with how they dine, combining lunch and dinner or requesting breakfast at dinnertime," said Bruegger's Bagels Director of Marketing Judy Kadylak. "Our happy hours highlight what we've always offered: breakfast sandwiches any time of the day - or night."

Guests can join in on the fun and get the deal by visiting and "liking" the Bruegger's Bagels Facebook page or following @Brueggers on Twitter.

Along with the Egg Bagel, Bruegger's Bagels guests can choose among 15 or more bagel varieties as the base for their egg sandwiches, including the new Marble Rye Bagel, available beginning May 8. A twist of two traditional bagel flavors, rye and pumpernickel, the bagel will be featured through August.

Bruegger's all-day breakfast menu features classic combinations as well as chef-inspired creations such as the Egg White and Sundried Tomato Sandwich. Guests can always make their own combination from Brueggers' Bagels' wide variety of fresh-baked bagels and selection of cheeses, breakfast meats, salmon and veggies. Egg whites are also available, as are Bruegger's skinny bagels, with one-third the calories.

JFAST scientists retrieve temperature data from Japan Trench observatory

2013-05-01

With the successful retrieval of a string of instruments from deep beneath the seafloor, an international team of scientists has completed an unprecedented series of operations to obtain crucial temperature measurements of the fault that caused the devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. Emily Brodsky, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences at UC Santa Cruz, helped organize the Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project (JFAST), which successfully drilled across the Tohoku earthquake fault last year and installed a borehole observatory nearly 7 kilometers ...

1 step closer to a blood test for Alzheimer's

2013-05-01

Australian scientists are much closer to developing a screening test for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. They identified blood-based biological markers that are associated with the build up of a toxic protein in the brain which occurs years before symptoms appear and irreversible brain damage has occurred. "Early detection is critical if we are to make any real difference in the battle against Alzheimer's, giving those at risk a much better chance of receiving treatment earlier, before it's too late to do much about it," said Dr Samantha Burnham from CSIRO's ...

Health Affairs examines worldwide pursuit of the 'Triple Aim' in April 2013 issue

Bethesda, MD -- In its April issue, Health Affairs examines how all high-income countries are struggling to achieve the so-called "Triple Aim" - better health and better health care at lower cost. The articles in this issue find that the United States and other high-income countries have much to learn with the "trade" in strategies and tactics likely to flow both ways. Support for the April issue was made possible by The Commonwealth Fund, Britain's Nuffield Trust, and the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London.

HPV leaves its mark in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a form of cancer that affects the cells lining the middle part of the throat, including the soft palate, the base of the tongue, the tonsils, and the pharynx. High-risk types of human papilloma virus (HPV) are increasingly detected in patients with OPSCC; however, HPV-positive OPSCC is highly curable and patients with HPV have better survival compared to HPV-negative patients, whose cancers are usually associate with alcohol and tobacco use. To understand the ...

High-risk types of human papilloma virus (HPV) are increasingly detected in patients with OPSCC; however, HPV-positive OPSCC is highly curable and patients with HPV have better survival compared to HPV-negative patients, whose cancers are usually associate with alcohol and tobacco use.

Searching for therapeutic synergy in primary effusion lymphoma

2013-05-01

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare, fatal form of aggressive B-cell lymphoma caused by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). The disease most commonly occurs in immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV and the elderly. Because current treatment options are not effective, there is a great need for new PEL therapies. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Juan Carlos Ramos and colleagues at the University of Miami used an immunocompromised mouse model of PEL to determine the efficacy of Bortezomib/Vorinostat combination therapy, ...

2 new papers on dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa) and intracranial hemorrhage

2013-05-01

Charlottesville, VA (May 1, 2013). The Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group is pleased to announce publication of two new studies on dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa®) and intracranial hemorrhage: one in the Journal of Neurosurgery and the other in Neurosurgical Focus. Background Dabigatran is an oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) approved by the US FDA in 2010 to lower the risk of stroke and prevent systemic embolism in persons with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Unlike warfarin, the most popular drug prescribed for this condition, dabigatran carries a lower risk ...

'Dirty dozen' invasive species threaten UK

2013-05-01

The researchers, Dr Bellinda Gallardo and Dr David Aldridge from the University of Cambridge, focussed on the 'dirty dozen' – a group of high-risk invasive aquatic plants and animals. Some, like the killer shrimp (Dikerogammarus villosus) and the bloody red mysid (Hemimysis anomala) are already in UK but have yet to spread. Others, such as the Asian clam (Corbicula fluminalis) and the marmokrebs, a crayfish (Procambarus fallax) may not yet have arrived. Working with Species Distribution Models, which are routinely used to predict which regions most suit invasive species, ...

The day NASA's Fermi dodged a 1.5-ton bullet

2013-05-01

NASA scientists don't often learn that their spacecraft is at risk of crashing into another satellite. But when Julie McEnery, the project scientist for NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, checked her email on March 29, 2012, she found herself facing this precise situation. While Fermi is in fine shape today, continuing its mission to map the highest-energy light in the universe, the story of how it sidestepped a potential disaster offers a glimpse at an underappreciated aspect of managing a space mission: orbital traffic control. As McEnery worked through her ...

Outdoor recess time can reduce the risk of nearsightedness in children

2013-05-01

SAN FRANCISCO – May 1, 2013 – Two new studies add to the growing evidence that spending time outdoors may help prevent or minimize nearsightedness in children. A study conducted in Taiwan, which is the first to use an educational policy as a public vision health intervention, finds that when children are required to spend recess time outdoors, their risk of nearsightedness is reduced. A separate study in Danish children is the first to show a direct correlation between seasonal fluctuations in daylight, eye growth and the rate of nearsightedness progression. The research ...
