Read an Excerpt
Life-Threatening Emergencies
Dial 911 (Emergency Medical Services). In larger cities, this call will dispatch an emergency vehicle staffed by a rescue squad and based at the nearest fire department. In smaller towns and counties, the operator will connect you with an emergency ambulance service. The direct number for this service is usually found on the first page of your telephone directory. In areas that use 911, children should be taught to dial this number for crises. Increasingly, 911 is being linked to a computer system ("enhanced 911") that can determine the address of the incoming call even if the caller can't speak.
Non-Life-Threatening Emergencies
Call Your Child's Physician. If you don't have a physician, call the near- est emergency room. Always call in first, rather than simply going to an emergency room. Your physician may provide you with critical first aid instructions by phone (e.g., for burns, animal bites, or fractures). Your physician also can help you decide whether a rescue squad should be sent out or if it is safe for you to drive in. In addition, your physician can also tell you if it's safe to be seen in the office or where to take your child for the best emergency care.
If you know the phone number of the nearest Poison Center, call them now. If not, call the National Poison Center hotline at 1-800-222-1222. They will automatically connect you with your local Poison Center.
How to Cut Through Red Tape
When you call in, always state assertively, "This is an emergency." Do not let the answering service or receptionist put you on hold before talking with you. If you are put on hold, hang up and call back immediately.
Life-Threatening or Major Emergencies
Call your rescue squad (911) or ambulance service.
Definition of a Life-Threatening Emergency—Children who may need resuscitation en route (for instance, those with severe breathing difficulty, severe choking, or not breathing) require a 911 call. Other potentially life-threatening emergencies are persistent loss of consciousness (coma), continuing seizure, or bleeding that can't be stopped by direct pressure. Children with major trauma or possible neck injury need splinting before transportation.
The Staff of Emergency Vehicles—Emergency vehicles are staffed by EMTs (Emergency Medical Technicians) or Paramedics. EMTs are trained in Basic Life Support: cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), splinting, bandaging, and so on. Paramedics are EMTs with additional training in Advanced Life Support: drawing blood, starting IVs, intubation, recording EKGs, and so on. EMTs receive 160 hours of training and Paramedics receive 1,200 hours. These pre-hospital care specialists are certified by their national associations. While providing emergency care, they are linked by two-way radio to an emergency room physician at their base hospital.
Rescue Squads Versus Ambulance Services—In larger cities, rescue squads are often available through local fire departments. Usually rescue squads can respond more rapidly than ambulances, and their service is free. After the patient's condition has been stabilized, they will often call an ambulance company for transport to the hospital if it is warranted. In general the police do not transport sick people, so don't call them for medical emergencies.
Non-Life-Threatening Emergencies
Go to the nearest hospital offering emergency services. Try to call your child's physician first.
Definition of Less Severe Emergencies—These concern children who need to be seen as quickly as possible but whose condition is currently stable or at least does not pose a danger of suddenly needing resuscitation. Examples are poisonings, slow bleeding controlled by pressure, severe pain, and seizures that have stopped.
Advantage of Car over an Ambulance—A private car is quicker and less expensive than an ambulance. Another option is to call a taxi.
Driving in to Seek Emergency Care—If you are going by private car, don't leave until you know the exact location of the emergency room you will be going to. It is a good idea to rehearse the drive by the fast- est route before an emergency occurs. Keep your sick child in a car safety seat. Try to have a friend or neighbor accompany you and do the driving. Some parents are too shaken by their child's injury to drive safely.
What to Bring with You to the Emergency Room
•Your health insurance card
•Your child's immunization record
•Your pharmacy's telephone number
•Any medicines your child is taking (or a list of drugs and dosages)
•If your child has been poisoned, bring the container.
•If your child has passed blood in the urine, stool, or vomited material, bring a sample for testing.
•Your child's security object or favorite toy
Every parent should learn how to identify life-threatening symptoms. You need to know in advance when to call 911 rather than trying to reach your doctor, and when it's not safe to try to drive to the hospital. Then you will not make the tragic mistake of attempting to drive your seriously ill child to an emergency room only to have him/her stop breathing or go into shock on the way. If your child ever has any of the following symptoms, call Emergency Medical Services (911) immediately.
Severe Breathing Problems
•Breathing has stopped.
•Your child is choking and unable to breathe or is turning blue.
•Difficulty breathing follows a medicine, food, or bee sting (the concern is for severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis).
Severe Bleeding
•Blood is pumping or spurting from the wound.
•Blood is pouring out and can't be stopped with direct pressure.
Severe Neck Injury
Try not to move your child until EMS arrives.
Seizure or Convulsion Now (hasn't stopped)
Can't Wake Up
Your child is unconscious (in a coma).
All the conditions discussed in this chapter are emergencies. The following emergency symptoms, however, are highlighted because they are either difficult to recognize or not considered serious by some parents. If your child has any of the following symptoms, contact your child's physician immediately.
Sick Newborn
If your baby is less than one month old and looks or acts sick in any way, the problem could be serious (e.g., vomiting, cough, poor color).
Severe Lethargy
To be tired during an illness is normal, but if your child stares off into space, won't smile, has no interest in playing, is too weak to cry, is floppy, or is hard to awaken, these are serious symptoms.
Severe Pain
If your child cries when you touch him or move him, this can be a symptom of meningitis. Such children also don't want to be held. Constant screaming or the inability to sleep also points to severe pain.
Can't Walk
If your child has learned to walk and then loses the ability to stand or walk, the most likely reason is that he or she has a serious injury to the legs or an acute problem with balance. If your child walks bent over, holding his abdomen, he probably has a serious abdominal problem such as appendicitis.
Tender Abdomen
Press on your child's belly while he or she is sitting up in your lap and looking at a book. Normally you should be able to press an inch or so in with your fingers in all parts of the belly without resistance. If he pushes your hand away or screams, this is an important finding. If the belly is also bloated and hard, the condition is even more worrisome. (See Abdominal Pain, page 596.)
Tender Testicle or Scrotum
The sudden onset of pain in the groin area can be due to twisting (torsion) of the testicle. This requires surgery within 8 hours to save the testicle.
Labored Breathing
You should assess your child's breathing after cleaning out the nose and when he is not coughing. If your child is working hard at breathing, has tight croup, or has obvious wheezing, he or she needs to be seen immediately. Other signs of respiratory distress are a rapid breathing rate, bluish lips, or retractions (pulling in between the ribs). (See Breathing Difficulty, Severe, page 36.)
Bluish Lips
Bluish lips, gums, or tongue (cyanosis) can indicate a reduced amount of oxygen in the bloodstream. (See Bluish Lips, page 490.)
The sudden onset of drooling or spitting, especially associated with difficulty in swallowing, can mean that your child has a serious infection of the tonsils, throat, or epiglottis (top part of the windpipe).
Dehydration means that your child's body fluids are at a low level. Dehydration usually follows severe vomiting and/or diarrhea. Suspect dehydration if your child has not urinated in 8 hours (12 hours if over 1 year old), crying produces no tears, the inside of the mouth is dry rather than moist, or the soft spot in the skull is sunken. Dehydrated children are also tired and weak. If your child is alert and active but not making much urine, he isn't dehydrated. Dehydration requires immediate fluid replacement by mouth or intravenously.
Bulging Soft Spot
If the anterior fontanel is tense and bulging, the brain is under pressure. (See Soft Spot, Bulging, page 520.) Since the fontanel normally bulges slightly with crying, assess it when your child is quiet and in an upright position.
Stiff Neck
To test for a stiff neck: With your child lying down, lift his head until the chin touches the middle of the chest. If he is resistant to this, place a toy or other object of interest on his belly so he will have to look down in order to see it. Older children can simply be asked to look at their belly button. A stiff neck can be an early sign of meningitis.
Injured Neck
Any injury to the neck, regardless of symptoms, should be discussed with your physician because of the risk of damage to the spinal cord.
Purple Spots or Dots
Purple or blood-red spots or dots on the skin can be a sign of a serious bloodstream infection. Explained bruises don't count. (See Purple Spots, page 460.)
Fever Over 105°F
All the preceding symptoms are stronger indicators of serious illness than is the level of fever. All of them can occur with low fevers as well as high ones. Serious infections become a special concern only when the temperature rises above 105ºF (40.6ºC). In infants a rectal temperature less than 96.8ºF (36.0ºC) can also be serious.
Suicide Concerns
Because of the marked increase in suicide attempts in adolescence, parents should be alert to any of the following warning signs: preoccupation with thoughts of death or suicide, themes of death in writing or conversation, abrupt withdrawal from friends and family, abrupt loss of interest in favorite pastimes, abrupt decline in schoolwork, reckless risk-taking behavior, depressed mood. Call either the suicide hotline or your child's physician.
Child Abuse Concerns
Call your child's physician or the child abuse hotline if you are afraid you might hurt your child, if someone has injured your child, or if someone has shaken your child. Child abuse has a tendency to escalate, so protect your child by seeking help early. Infants are at the greatest risk for a serious reinjury.

RESUSCITATION (Mouth-to-Mouth Breathing)
If your child has stopped breathing or is gasping for breath (e.g., from choking, croup, carbon monoxide poisoning, drowning, or head trauma), you won't have time to read these guidelines. So read them now. And take an approved CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) or first aid course. You can't learn external cardiac massage purely from reading. Fortunately, more than 90 percent of children who stop breathing still have a pulse and heartbeat (unlike heart attack victims) and they need only artificial respiration to revive them. The steps in mouth-to-mouth breathing are as follows.
Rescue Squad—Have someone call a rescue squad (911) immediately. You're going to need help.
Clear the Mouth—Look for any gum, food, foreign object, or loose orthodontic retainer. If present, remove them with your fingers or a Heimlich maneuver (see Choking, page 11). If any liquid is in the mouth, remove it by turning your child on one side and using gravity.
Position the Head—With your child lying faceup, put a folded blanket or towel (1\2 inch to 2 inches thick) directly under the back of your child's head. Do not put anything under the shoulders or neck. This "sniffing," head-forward position opens the airway and closes the esophagus (thereby keeping air out of the stomach). The jaw and chin can also be pulled forward to open the airway more. (Note: Some adolescents and adults may require slight extension of the neck for optimal breathing.)
Mouth-to-Mouth Breathing
Pinch your child's nostrils closed with one hand and seal the mouth with yours. (In small children, an adult can often seal both the child's nostrils and mouth with his mouth.) Blow air with a steady pressure into your child's lungs until you see the chest rise (the smaller the child, the smaller the volume of your puff). Then remove your mouth and your child will automatically blow the air out without any help (normal recoil of the lungs). During this time, take a breath and refill your lungs. Repeat this at the following rates:
•Under 2 years old: 20 times per minute (once every 3 seconds)
•2 to 12 years old: 15 times per minute (once every 4 seconds)
•Over 12 years old: 12 times per minute (once every 5 seconds)
Occasionally, take several quite deep breaths to bring plenty of oxy- gen into your lungs. (Note: If it is impossible to open the victim's mouth, cover the mouth and give mouth-to-nose breathing.) If 4 or 5 breaths don't move the chest, assume the airway is blocked and perform a Heimlich maneuver 10 times in rapid succession (see Choking, p. 11).
If the heartbeat and carotid pulse are absent, also perform external cardiac massage if you know how to do it. In general, give 5 heart compressions for every 1 breath (i.e., 1-2-3-4-5-breathe, then repeat).

I am a first time mom, and got this as a gift. I love this book. It is very imformative & easy to read. I love how it also gives guidelines on feeding & sleeping by your childs age. Also gives you solutions to problems like ear infections, etc and lets you know what can wait til the next morning to call the Dr. or what is an emergency now! It covers all kinds of things, its just awesome! A must have for new parents! Like the cover says, it is the book you will rech for first!
My husband gave me an earlier edition of this book almost 20 years ago, when we were stationed in Germany. I had a toddler and a newborn baby, and no easy access to medical care or more experienced family members much of the time. This book got me through a lot of scary moments, and more often than not, it eased my fears. It told me when to call the Dr. or go to the emergency room, and what OTC medications to give. I have gotten into the habit of bringing this to baby showers as my gift, because it is a 'tried and true'. Three grown children later, I am ordering a new copy for my pregnant daughter. I feel confident that she can depend on the information in this book to look after our new grandchild. I can't think of a higher recommendation. Buy this book!
We take the calls for 20 pediatricians' offices overnight. The protocols we use to decide when a child needs to go to the ER, make an appt during office hours, or be treated by parents at home were written by this author. We often use this book to give parents additional advice for treating at home, because this book is written in a way that is very easy for parents to understand. It covers everything for illness and injury from the basics (is green poop ok?) to the unusual (what to do for a jellyfish sting). At 2 a.m. with a child who has a fever of 104, you will be glad you have this book!
I received my first copy of this book for Christmas when I was pregnant with my first child 18 years ago. I sarcastically thought, what a gift! But as I had my sons and they grew, I used this book more and more. I'd even have friends call me up and ask me questions on their childrens health and see what my book says! Every baby shower that I am invited too, the mom-to-be gets the current issue of this book! I recieved it as a mom-to-be and I pass on that tradition. Enjoy and good health to your children!
This is the book every parent should have.
I had three different books with the same purpose, but this one quickly became my "bible" of what to do when anything went wrong with my child... from just a fever, to strange rashes, to throwing up in the middle of the night. The presentation format was so incredibly helpful with symptoms and a guide to just how worried I needed (not) to be! The fact that this book had every problem I encountered in raising my two kids was a testament to its completeness. And, we went through plenty! I buy this book for every friend who is expecting a baby.
I buy this book for every pregnant women I know. It is the closest thing to a troubleshooting guide you will get. My reliance in this book for my own child was reinforced because my pediatricians' office uses it, too!
I bought this book for my daughter and her new baby. I was visiting and we used it already during the first week of his life to find out something we were worried about. A must for all new mothers as well for mothers that has more children since each baby is different and new questions come up.

Mike lives in Southern California and when he's not cruising around in a boat or raising parrots he's out in the shop building all sorts of crazy stuff – including this very cool 13-wheel mechanic's tool box.
I like that he built the entire thing, not just the cabinet and drawers but his own heavily modified wheel system. I also like how clean and organized he keeps his shop, tool drawers, and outdoor work area. The 66' Chevy C20 he's restoring is pretty cool too.
The video is kind of long so if you're in hurry here are the highlights:
00:25 what the unit was like when he first had it
01:30 see it roll and hear why he put the handles where he did
02:00 brackets on back for optional shelves
02:40 where the idea of adding more wheels came from
05:00 what it looked like with four wheels and a very quick tour of what's inside each drawer
07:20 how he modified the brackets to hold three wheels each instead of one

The Megafauna of the day for this Tuesday, the 9th of April 2013 is the terribly under-appreciated Phorusrhacos longissimus, of the clade Phorusrhacidae, better known as the Terror Birds.
Extant in the mid-Miocene epoch, P.longissimus stood at up to 2.5m tall and may have weighed as much as 130kg. Its vicious-looking skull was enormous up to 60 cm long, and equipped with a deadly hooked beak.
P. longissimus is thought to have killed its prey by similar action to its only living relatives, the Seriemas - by grabbing the prey in the beak and burdening it against the ground until dead. It has been speculated that it may have also been capable of administering a fatal stabbing blow with the hook of the beak.

Wife of Alleged Cannibal Cop Conspirator Defends 'Disturbing' Fetishes
"It's disturbing, but you've got to accept your partner's flaws in a marriage."
So-called Cannibal Cop Gilberto Valle and his Internet friend Michael Van Hise are accused of conspiring to kidnap, rape, and — in Valle's case — eat multiple women, including a minor. But echoing Valle's defense, Van Hise's 22-year-old wife tells the New York Post today that her husband's talk was just that: twisted fantasies expressed in some strange sort of cybersex, taken out of context. "It's disturbing, but you've got to accept your partner's flaws in a marriage," she said. "I'm not perfect. He's not perfect." And while Van Hise reportedly admitted to feeling sexual urges toward children, including his 7-year-old niece, "He's never caught [an erection] while she's sitting in his lap," his wife claimed. Van Hise is being held without bail because, according to a judge, "there are no conditions that can reasonably assure the safety of the community."

December 7th – 9:00pm Doors
All Ages. $22 adv / $24 dos
Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/rapper Everlast has crafted Songs Of The Ungrateful Living, a masterful 15-cut collection that serves as a soundtrack for modern America. It's an album that pulls from several seemingly unrelated musical and thematic corners of the country to poignantly highlight not only the bleak status of our nation and its inhabitants but also the untapped potential of both.

The first part of the exam will consist in analysing an extract from an action/adventure film. This will be between three to five minutes long and will be typical in some way of the action/adventure genre.The extract will be chosen because it not only fits the genre, but it clearly represents people in a certain way. You will be asked questions on: genre conventions (what you're doing for homework) media language (camera, editing, mise en scene and sound) and representation.
What makes it an action adventure film? You may have to concentrate on typical or atypical narratives (action), settings (city, night, jungle etc), themes (revenge, justice, good vs evil), icons (weapons)
Storyline and Plot:
Tease out the differences between these two terms. Think about the characteristics of Action Adventure films in having fast moving plots which provide plenty of excitement and tension.
All Action Adventure films have recognisable narrative structures which offer a way of examining how a story is organised and shaped in terms of time and events. It is interesting to explore the rules of narrative structure with regard to Action Adventure. For example a defining feature of narrative is the high degree of narrative closure, with all problems resolved and/or our hero triumphant. So in addition to linear structure, narrative can often be seen in terms of oppositional structure too, as a fight between forces of good and evil.
Main characters:
All Action Adventure films have a recognisable heroic central character, a hero or heroine who is able to overcome incredible odds. Whilst some films feature brave heroines, most narratives are organised around traditional gender roles. Teachers might want to explore the extent to which modern films have challenged traditional female (and male) stereotyping.
Oppositional characters:
Action Adventure films tend to feature characters that play opposite the key central character, for example either in the form of a relationship (hero/heroine) or in conflict (hero/villain).
Action Adventure films often involve central characters working towards a final goal (such as seeking treasure). These narratives take place against the backdrop of a variety of exotic and sometimes glamorous locations. These can range from desert landscapes to urban settings. Not only can their use provide the audience with visual pleasures, but the location itself can serve an important narrative function as central characters find themselves battling with the challenges presented by it e.g. surviving earthquakes, struggling, through jungles etc.
Chase, race against time, survival, revenge, love - why is the action taking place? What is driving our hero/es forward?
Q2)Moving image – Camerawork:
• Establishing shots
• Low angle, high angle, canted angle or aerial shots
• Elaborate camera movement such as tracks, steadicam or crane shots
• Hand-held camera
• Point-of-view shots
• Shallow focus and focus pulls.
Moving image – Editing:
• Shot/reverse shot
• Non-continuity editing
• Crosscutting
• Fast-paced editing
• Less common transitions: dissolve, wipe, fade
• Post-production effects.
Moving image – Soundtrack:
• Music
• Synchronous and asynchronous sound
• Diegetic/non-diegetic sound
• Voiceover
• Sound effects
• Sound bridge
Moving image – Mise en scène:
• Lighting (especially low-key lighting)
• Location/set
• Costume and make-up
• Props
• Casting and performance style
• Blocking (the composition of elements within the shot).
Q3) This is the representation question:
At it's simplest, representation is about how people are depicted in the extract. You can look at how other things are being represented such as places, events, aliens, monsters, ideas - but it is best to start with people. Stereotyping is such as big issue in representation that it I often the best place to start. What stereotypes of people do you often find in action/adventure films?
Candidates should be prepared to analyse and discuss the following:
• Stereotyping of people, places/and or events
• Why social groups and/or places are present or absent from the text
• The construction of a world that makes sense to its audience
• What is valued or celebrated by that world.
Candidates should be able to recognise common stereotypes based on factors such as age, gender,
ethnicity, body types, class, region and nationality. They may be able to identify groups that are excluded
from featuring in this genre of text by stereotyping. They might comment on deliberate anti-stereotyping.

I just posted in the horseless riders thread in Off Course but thought I'd mention it here in case people don't look in that thread regularly. I have a couple of ponies if anyone knows a kid rider looking for some saddle time. See my post in the thread if interested. Totally free situation for the right riders so I assume that it is OK to post this. I'm in Lovettsville. Thanks!

After a miserable May and June, Justin Grimm is showing signs he could play a prominent role in the Cubs' bullpen.
"I would say my last five outings felt a lot like last year," said Grimm, who didn't allow a run in his final five appearances of the first half. "Whatever (the problems were), I think it's just more about being aggressive and going at hitters. I did that in the first month but got away from that, and it showed."
After posting a 2.57 ERA in April, Grimm allowed 16 earned runs in his next 21 innings, and his work diminished until the final week of the first half.
The Cubs open the second half Friday against the Texas...

I have urls being generated with a simple integer on the site that allows the user to see past orders.
The problem is that it is very easy to just change that number and then view other peoples orders. I am wondering what would be an easy way to encode this number in the url and then have the php decode it so it can run the controller? It does not have to be super secure, juse something that makes it not so easy for someone to just change the number to see the data. I tried doing something like :
order_id/<?php echo base64_encode($theOrder); ?>
and then in the controller action I tried :
if($orderId = (int) $this->getRequest()->getParam('order_id') && Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn()){
$orderId = (int) $this->getRequest()->getParam('order_id');
$orderId = base64_decode($orderId);
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($orderId);
Mage::register('current_order', $order);
but this doesnt work. What would be a good way to obscure this parameter in the url ?

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) a three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, was the first of the great American modernist poets."No poet ever understood loneliness and separateness better than Robinson," James Dickey has observed. Robinson's lyric poems illuminate the hearts and minds of the most unlikely subjects the downtrodden, the bereft, and the misunderstood. Even while writing in meter and rhyme, he used everyday language with unprecedented power, wit, and sensitivity. With his keen understanding of ordinary people and a gift for harnessing the rhythms of conversational speech, Robinson created the vivid character portraits for which he is best known, among them "Aunt Imogen," "Isaac and Archibald," "Miniver Cheevy," and "Richard Cory." Most of his poems are set in the fictive Tilbury Town based on his boyhood home of Gardiner, Maine but his work reaches far beyond its particular locality in its focus on struggle and redemption in human experience.

Ashley Tisdale in Designer Jeans
Ashley Tisdale in Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans in Rock w/holes
Photographed while leaving dinner with friends, Ashley Tisdale wore her Rag & Bone skinny jeans in Rock with holes, with a gray t shirt and a black leather jacket. I think Ashley looks great here, I love that she chose a more neutral color pallet and didn't over think the outfit.
It seems like we've been seeing fewer photos of Ashley lately, I wonder if she's busy getting ready for her upcoming wedding? She has such a distinctive personal style, I am excited to see what type of dress she chooses! Buy Rag & Bone online at Shopbop.com.
Ashley Tisdale in Rag & Bone The Skinny Jeans in Rock W/Holes
Ashley Tisdale made her way to a salon visit ahead of the Coachella Music Festival last week in Los Angeles, California. We often seem to spot her at the salon!
Ashley wore a pair of Rag & Bone The Skinny Jeans in Rock W/Holes with a lighter grey tee and her Isabel Marant boots. As you know, I love the combination of darker and lighter grey tones together, so I think this is a great casual look. What do you think of it? You can buy these Rag & Bone jeans online at Shopbop.com.

Ashley Tisdale in Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren Boyfriend Jeans
Ashley Tisdale and a friend were spotted doing some shopping at her favourite boutique, Planet Blue, in Los Angeles, California last week.
Ashley wore a pair of Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren boyfriend jeans which she paired with her pink Chloe boots, a tank top, scarf and oversize Celine bag. I actually really like these jeans. It's a nice change seeing Ashley in Denim & Supply and these look great on her, despite being slouchy!

Ashley Tisdale in Genetic Denim Shane Skinny Jeans in Slink
Ashley Tisdale was spotted running some errands around Los Angeles, California. The actress kept things casual with her favorite pair of jeans by Genetic Denim, the Shane Skinny in Slink. She chose to pair them with a t shirt and plaid shirt then later switching it up with a sweater.
Like Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley is one that we don't see too often on DenimBlog anymore and when we do she is usually in a slouchier pair or boyfriend jeans. It is great to see her wear a more fitted classic style. Are you hoping to see more of Ashley this year on the blog? You can click here to purchase Genetic Denim from their website.

Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 30 mins
This is the way I do souvlaki or shish kebab - and I mean the sandwich with pita bread you can find on nearly every street corner in Greece, not just the skewered meat. This is the best! Prep time does not include marinating time. OAMC instructions provided.
Ingredients Nutrition
Meat and Marinade
- 1 1⁄2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut up into 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch cubes (or the meat of your choice)
- 1⁄2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (not traditional, but I like the flavour it adds)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (I use a whole dried one, crumbled)
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 lemon, juice of
- 1 (8 count) packagegreek pita bread
- 1 medium onion, sliced thin
- 1 large tomatoes, sliced thin
- 1 cup tzatziki (Tzatziki)
- 1⁄2 cup chopped parsley
- To marinate meat: Cut tenderloin into bite-size chunks and put into a Tupperware with remaining marinade ingredients.
- Swish everything around to distribute, put in fridge and forget for a day (this long marination is not absolutely necessary- but longer means more flavour. If you haven't the time, just do what you can).
- When ready to BBQ, skewer meat onto metal or wooden skewers (remember to soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 1/2 an hour first) and bbq until the meat is nicely brown all over, and you know you can't possibly wait any longer to eat.
- To prepare the fixings: As you are barbecuing the meat, brush as many pita breads as there are souvlaki generously with olive oil and put on the bbq to crisp slightly or alternatively, into a hot frying pan, and cook about 30-45 seconds per side or until starting to brown and give off a yummy,'toasty' smell.
- Here is the 'technique' part.
- Have cut some squares of foil a bit larger than the pita breads.
- Put a square in the palm of your hand and lay a pita in the centre sitting in your flat palm.
- Take a skewer of meat and place in center of pita.
- Squeeze palm shut around meat to get a grip with the pita and pull out skewer, leaving meat inside the bread.
- Open up your palm slightly, making the pita gape open and throw in some onion, slices of tomato, a good dollop of tzatziki, some parsley, along with a healthy shake of salt.
- Roll sandwich up by squeezing palm again (gently this time as the salad stuff is inside) and enclosing neatly with the foil, giving a twist on the bottom so no yummy juices drip out onto your clothes as you are eating this!
- Enjoy our contribution to fast-food!
- You will never settle for a Big Mac again!
- To freeze: Place meat and marinade in a freezer bag or rigid freezer container.
- To serve: Thaw in fridge overnight and proceed with cooking directions.

Works great on our indoor grill as well!
Just made this today, and, as expected, I didn't like the addition of Worcestershire sauce. It doesn't taste authentic to me. Two weeks ago a Greek colleague of my hubby's came over with a plate of pork souvlaki for grilling. She had told me what she used to make this in general terms--the same basic ingredients as in this recipe, but no Worcestershire sauce. I personally liked the taste much better. I'd make this again, but would omit the W sauce. Thanks!
Great sandwich! I loved the flavor of the meat. I used pork cut into bite size chunks. I think next time (and yes, there will definitely be a next time) I think I will cut it into thin strips rather then into chunks simply because I think it will be easier to eat without the meat falling out of the end. I allowed for the long overnight marinade time and I used the Worcestershire sauce. I don't care for raw onions so I sliced a cucumber into thin slices and garnished the sandwich with them and some torn Romaine as well as the tomatoes the recipe calls for. I served it with your Tzatziki recipe. I made some French fries to go with it. It was a meal that I will enjoy again often. Thank you for posting this delightful recipe.

By Ms. Audra Calloway (AMC)March 30, 2010
PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. -- A Picatinny housing resident and spouse of a Soldier here recently won a first-place prize in the Army-wide Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation's 2009 All-Army Digital Photography Contest.
The photography contest is an annual, juried competition. Photographers compete in one of two groups - either active-duty military or other eligible Army patrons. The works are judged at the regional level and then regional winners compete at the Department of the Army competition.
Six of Jessica St. Clair's pieces were selected to compete at the DA level.
At the Army level, St. Clair placed first in the category of Experimental Photography for her photo titled "Abstracture," which she describes as, "a mind-bending merge of twisted and transformed architectural photographs."
"Captivated by large metal and glass architecture that was surrounding me, I took many pictures detailing the strong repetitive lines and shapes it formed. Then, twisting and turning each photo, I arranged them into a collage of interacting pieces until they created a fascinating construction of organized confusion," St. Clair explained. "My intent with this piece is to draw viewers in to try and figure it out."
St. Clair also received an honorable mention for work "Eye in the Sky" in the Department of the Army level Object category.
"I was ecstatic to see my photographs in the winning line-up. It truly feels wonderful to share pieces of work that are so special to me with the Army community, and it gives me great enjoyment to admire the creative work of others as well," she said.
She also won $300 for her first-place prize.
St. Clair has been the lead designer for the Program Executive Office-C3T Special Projects Office at Fort Monmouth for more than six years.

Q&A: When To Take A Pregnancy Test?
I tested on Sunday with a BFN and AF is actually due tomorrow — could I have just tested too early?
Good question — pregnancy test timing is tricky. Home pregnancy tests detect the presence of a pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. During the first few weeks of pregnancy, the level of hCG in the urine increases rapidly, doubling every 2 to 3 days! That's why you may have greater luck with an HPT if you wait until after you miss your period. The accuracy also varies because your menstrual and ovulation cycle can fluctuate from month to month. Plus, the exact day the fertilized egg implants can vary. Until implantation occurs and the placenta starts to develop, there is no hCG to be detected. Finally, each home pregnancy test kit has a different sensitivity to hCG.
So while it's true that some HPTs can detect hCG up to four or five days before a missed period, it doesn't work for everyone! The FIRST RESPONSE Early Result Pregnancy Test, for example, can be used as early as four days before you expect your period. But when used at that time, only 69% of pregnant women will test positively. That means 31% will get a false negative! Once your period is actually late, the result will be 99% accurate. Meaning, no second guessing and (hopefully) lots of celebrating!

long history short: - we have a bunch of linux servers.
lots of users work with linux Desktops. They use them as testing servers.
All the infrastructure has the Authentication services linked by Quest Auth Services againts an AD. This gives us the option of logon scripts, startup scripts, and other things.
One interesting option this Quest thing gives us is SUDO management. We can edit sudoers file by GPO politics.
Now we are deploying a NAS server from Hitachi with cifs and NFS mapping capabilities.
Servers are managed by IT, so nobody can go root except us.
Desktop users will also mount the NFS shares so they will be able to work with real data and read their own data from servers.
Desktop users can go sudo su.
If desktop users go from root to another user, the NFS let them work as they where the other user.
I would like to keep them from swithching users, but only between AD users, they must be able to switch to apache user or postgres user.
I'm missing something or this is going to be tricky?
Can anybody give me a hand on this thinking?
Many thanks.

Cowboys, Cowgirls open roundball practice
LARAMIE, Wyo. -- The Wyoming basketball teams open practice Saturday for the 2003-04 season.
The Cowgirls, under new coach Joe Legerski, will work out from 8-11 a.m. in the Arena-Auditorium. The Cowboys begin their sixth campaign under Steve McClain with a practice from noon to 2:30 p.m., also in the Double A.
From 11 a.m.-1 p.m., fans who have not yet purchased season tickets for men's basketball games are invited to participate in a Select-A-Seat promotion. Available seats will be marked with cards and balloons, and athletic ticket office personnel will be on hand to help.
At 100-52, McClain has compiled the most wins for a UW men's coach in his first five years. His winning percentage (.658) is second highest behind Willard Witte, who compiled a .724 mark from 1930-31 through 1938-39.
Last year, the Cowboys tied for third in the Mountain West Conference at 8-6, advanced to the second round of the National Invitation Tournament and wound up 21-11 overall.
Wyoming won its NIT opener over Eastern Washington before losing to North Carolina. It was the Cowboys' fourth postseason appearance in McClain's five years.
The loss of senior forward Marc Bailey in the ninth game of the season likely cost UW a return to the NCAA Tournament. Even though he missed 23 games, Bailey ranks 14th on the school scoring list with 1,356 points.
Also gone from last year's squad are Donta Richardson, Uche Nsonwu and Chris McMillian. Richardson and Nsonwu were both first-team All-MWC.
Nsonwu ranks seventh in career blocked shots with 87 and 10th in rebounding with 763. Richardson is ninth in 3-pointers with 102. McMillian is second on the UW assists chart with 434.
Three starters -- Jay Straight, Joe Ries and David Rottinghaus -- are among eight returning lettermen. Ten of the 14 squad members are juniors or seniors.
Straight, a junior point guard, averaged 10.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists. Rottinghaus (6.0 points, 2.6 rebounds) and Ries (7.0 points, 4.2 rebounds) are both senior forwards.
McClain said this year's squad may return to the up-tempo style that defined his first couple teams.
"I think every team in the country is excited about the first day you can get on the floor," he said. "But I've always said it doesn't do any good to be excited the first day if you can't be excited in March.
"That is the attitude I think our team has, is that we are preparing every day to earn a spot in postseason play again this year."
The Cowboys play their first exhibition Nov. 1 against EA Sports. The regular season opener is Nov. 22 at home against Southern Illinois.
"I'm looking forward to the start of practice to see both a number of new players in our program, as well as a good group of returning veterans," McClain said. "I'm anxious to see how they interact with one another and how they mold together into a team."
Legerski welcomes back two starters and seven letterwinners from a women's squad that finished 18-12 overall, 7-7 in the Mountain West Conference and earned a bid to the Women's National Invitation Tournament.
"I'm anxious to get started with practice and look forward to putting together this basketball program," he said. "The challenge for this team will be for the players to adjust to the level of competition in Division I college basketball."
The Cowgirls open with one of two exhibition games against Adams State on Nov. 6 at the Double A. The regular season opener is Nov. 22 at Denver.

Four people were ordered to remain in jail on Sunday pending an investigation into a nightclub fire that killed at least 112 people in Russia's worst blaze in decades, investigators said.
About 130 remained hospitalized, many in critical condition, with injuries from the early Saturday blaze, which witnesses said was sparked by onstage fireworks that shot into the decorative twig ceiling of the Lame Horse club in the Ural Mountains industrial city of Perm. Shocked and grieving relatives on Sunday began to bury the victims of the disaster.
The federal Investigative Committee said the suspects - the club's owner, the executive director, the artistic director and a businessman hired to install pyrotechnics on the night of the blaze - were ordered taken into custody Sunday by Leninsky District Court.
The commitee's Web site said they were suspected of negligence causing multiple deaths and violating fire safety rules causing multiple deaths.
Russian news agencies named the owner as Anatoly Zak. The pyrotechnics expert was named as Sergei Dergunov by his lawyer, Yekaterina Golysheva.
Mourning residents were indignant over the alleged negligence, which President Dmitry Medvedev also criticized in a nationally televised videoconference on Saturday.
Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the club managers had been fined twice in the past for breaking fire safety regulations, which he did not specify. Russian clubs and restaurants often cover ceilings with plastic insulation and a layer of willow twigs to create a rustic look, one of many uses of combustible materials in buildings by businessmen who bribe officials to look the other way.
Nadezhda Zhizhina placed flowers on the icy ground outside the Perm City Morgue in memory of her 21-year-old son, Sergei.
She said she wasn't expecting the compensation officials have promised to other victims' relatives because Sergei earned pocket money at the club as an unofficial administrator.
"I can't even imagine what to do," Zhizhina said, weeping. "He was a golden boy."
She said Sergei's wife, Yulia, was eight months pregnant.
The disaster has shaken this town of over 1 million, mobilizing even those who didn't lose relatives - such as Marina Dryonina.
"This is nothing but criminal negligence," she said. "A terrible tragedy for our town."
Many victims were trapped in a panicked crush for the exit as they attempted to escape the flames and thick black smoke.
Emergency Ministry spokeswoman Darya Kochneva said a man flown to a Moscow hospital had died of severe burns, bringing the toll to at least 112.
Enforcement of fire safety standards is infamously poor in Russia and there have been several catastrophic blazes at drug-treatment facilities, nursing homes, apartment buildings and nightclubs in recent years. The nation records up to 18,000 fire deaths a year, several times the per-capita rate in the United States and other Western countries.
Medvedev demanded that lawmakers draft changes to toughen the criminal punishment for failing to comply with fire safety standards.
Monday has been designated a national day of mourning, with entertainment events and television programs canceled.
4 Detained in Russian Club Fire; 112 Dead

Process safety and risk management systems are implemented to reduce injuries and process incidents. The effectiveness of these systems is dependent on the company's implementation and support for operational discipline (OD)-related programs to ensure that the process safety management system requirements are followed day-to-day at all levels of the organization. However, OD-program-related problems continue to contribute to process incidents, including loss of containment (LOC) incidents, especially since they may not be formally addressed during incident investigations. This article provides a brief historical overview of major LOC incidents, describes how poor OD increases process safety risk and can contribute to LOC incidents, and provides an incident investigation tool to help monitor and improve OD characteristics. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog, 2011

"The Sweetheart Sweep" sounds like a Valentines Day gift coming our way soon. I wonder who they'll get this time around? will it be you?????
United States
#2 Feb 7, 2010
Why would you give them the heads up. They will probably slow down their sales now
#3 Feb 7, 2010
I heard it was going to be named "Cupid's Revenge"
Since: Jan 10
#4 Feb 7, 2010
how about naming it as "Breaking News" lmao...
United States
#5 Feb 7, 2010
they should
've called it "WOODBINE WIPEOUT!"
United States
#6 Feb 8, 2010
Sure hope you're right. That would be the best Valentine's gift we could all get. That is if they would get the right ones! Now that it has been brought to their attention, they will probably all skip town! LOL!
United States

United States
#8 Feb 8, 2010
Dont matter anyway...the majority arrested never see jail...maybe we should vote for a new judge..
United States
#9 Feb 8, 2010
wondering..when they do arrest druggies, is their cars etc confiscated? are the sellers Dr, pharmacy etc informed of the arrest? Can any items confiscated be held until the hearing or not? Seems like some homes should be placed for sell to help finance the Task Force's efforts.I know most dont own homes, but if its a family home and they are aware of the persons drug issues that home should be forfeited?
United States
#10 Feb 8, 2010
it would be more like craigsville wipe out
#11 Feb 9, 2010
i say we all get water balloons and fill them with red paint. throw one at every vehicle that pulls into the druggies houses. heck, mark the druggies house and cars too.
maybe if they know everyone knows who they are, they'll (at least) go somewhere else to buy and sell and leave our community. news flash for those who are going to say, "not everyone who goes to a drug dealers home is a user".- if you aren't buying or selling drugs, you shouldn't hang out at the drug dealers home! i don't go to one of my relatives homes for that very reason!!
not a solution, but it could be fun. happy valentines day! all i know is it doesn't need to be my old neighbor that gets her pain meds stolen again so a pill head theif can get another fix. do something or say nothing!
#12 Feb 9, 2010

what is this junk about the people who tell being the BAD GUYS!?!?! that is why drugs and crime in general are so out of control!
Telling isn't the problem, the problem is the folks breaking the law! telling is how you stop them. the law breakers count on everyone else having this mentallity where they won't tattle, nark, rat, or whatever they want to call it.
they make it dangerous to tell on the criminals, but they make it dangerous not to as well! i'd rather tell if it would get them behind bars and out of my neighborhood!
my children and my grandparents deserve to be able to enjoy their lives without worrying about some druggie breaking in to steal their pain meds or tv set to sell for more drugs! i shouldn't have to drive super slowly and cautiously because some high moron is heading out the road after getting a fix from the guy up the road either!
what are we, in elementary school? GO ON AND TELL ON THEM! THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW, NOT COPYING OFF YOUR HOMEWORK!! Only those worrying about getting in trouble think telling is a problem. if you aren't breaking the law, who cares!?!?

I have a batch script which runs a robocopy. It is failing because the drive is not awake.
In windows explorer, doubling clicking on that icon "wakes" up the link and the cross disappears and the robocopy runs without issue.
How can I wake it up in a batch file?
Additional Info: If my PC sleeps or reboots. The batch script does not run until i wake the drive via the icon. The two machines are not on a domain and they use the same username and password (administrator).

Packing a little less volume than Camelbak's flagship mountain bike hydration pack but every bit as capable, the M.U.L.E. NV Hydration Pack is if you need a lot of water and plenty of storage, but also need to keep an eye on the amount of weight you're carrying. The M.U.L.E. is packing a full three liters of water and over 700 cubic inches of storage space. Camelbak's new Antidote Reservoir graces the hydration sleeve of this beauty, and it's loaded with features that make it easier to fill, easier to clean, and easier to live with.
The M.U.L.E. is more than just a big bag of water, though. From the advanced NV suspension system designed to
keep the load away from your back to the fixed waist belt with
easy-access cargo pockets, the M.U.L.E is a night-and-day improvement over your old hydration pack even before you come to the revolutionary Antidote reservoir.
- NV back panel with articulated pods for a fully ventilated back panel that keeps the load suspended away from your back
- New Antidote reservoir includes a lightweight, quick-seal cap, folding arms on the port to speed drying, and baffles in the body that allow the reservoir to maintain a lower profile when full
- New Quick Link system in reservoir allows you to quickly snap off the tube for cleaning and easily attach accessories like filters, flow meters, and insulated tubes
- Ample main compartment and multiple exterior pockets hold your rain gear, multi-tool, pump, spare tube, lunch, MP3, phone, wallet, and keys, while XC helmet carry stows your dome protector
- Fixed .75-inch belt with cargo pockets keeps the pack from bouncing around as you bomb downhill
- HydroGuard anti-microbial technology inhibits bacterial growth on reservoir and tube surfaces
- Ergo Hydrolock shut-off valve allows you to control water flow and prevents leaks
- XC helmet carry stows your dome protector
- Item #CAM2546

Mule halls it all
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this pack so i could haul my laptop to my college classes on my bike. I wanted something slim, but something that also had a lot of useful features; it ended up being exactly that. There are so many aspects of this bag i could rave about so i will highlight a few of my favorites.
1. The ergonomic shoulder straps are way more comfortable then straight straps and when combined with the plastic guides that connect it to the pack, the strap/guide combo helps the bag conform to your unique body shape.
2. The side pockets on the hip belt are way more convenient then I thought they would be and I probably wont buy another pack without them.
3. The rain cover gives me that extra piece of mind when riding in stormy weather, either on a bike or on my skis, and it also makes me more visible to other people on the move so i don't get hit.
This is a hydration pack but most of the time i just leave the bladder out and use it like a normal bag, plus the hydration sleve is a good size for a laptop or a tablet.
Overall this is a super versatile pack and a great choice for someone looking for a hydration pack that doubles as a do anything backpack.
Perfect for mtn biking
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use this for mtn biking and it is so much better than my old MULE. A little more room, nice pockets and features within. The bladder is great, a quarter turn and you have the lid on tight (no more leaks). This packs has everything you need to carry the essentials for mtn biking. Hand down, this is my favorite pack to date.
Awesome pack!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I use this pack in many different applications from hiking, work, snowboarding, and biking. Works great! I love the built in rain cover.
Just what he wanted!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
My son requested this backpack and was very specific on what he wanted. After he received it he said, "LOVE THE BACKPACK! IT'S PERFECT!" Thank you for a great product and for the awesome shipping! Very quick!
Bright Shamrock/Charcoal
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is my first CamelBak pack. I did my research on several different hydration packs, including trying them on in store before settling on this one. Went with a 3L pack because I can add less water if needed. The pack is a bit heavy, but well worth it for the amount of stuff you could potentially carry!
I bought this to take it hiking (3+ hours). No issues. The 3L water pack provides plenty of water for those who hike in the Arizona Desert.
Review is geared towards people who may be new to hydration packs and the Antidote reservoir system.
Hydration System Review
- fits well against my back, good support especially when using the hip belt.
- the reservoir attaches to a handle (baffle) inside the pack, keeping it from sliding down.
- tubing runs through the top and through one of the straps on the pack. I wasn't aware of the clips on the strap but it keeps the tube in place.
- Hidden dryer arms are fantastic. It's confusing to see where they are unless you watch the video. I recommend having something you can hang it on like a towel rack.
- filling the Antidote reservoir was hard, a bit difficult to close especially if you fill it up all the way. Definitely recommend doing it in the sink. (I use RO or purified water, keeps it clean).
- I had trouble the very first time attaching the tube to the reservoir, wouldn't connect all the way and leaked. Second time, I practiced before filling it, no issues.
The NV back panel system with articulated pods - I didn't notice much of a difference between having this on my back or nothing, so it does a good job of ventilating, but back still gets sweaty.
The cargo pockets on the hip belt do not hold an iPhone 5...it's easy to take the pack off and swing it around to access it if you need it and put it back on.
Quick note - if you get it with white on it, dirt gets on it quickly. Colors are also true to picture.
Overall, this is well worth it and I am very happy for a first-time hydration pack user!
For someone that is new to buying things like this... this review helped a lot. Thank you.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use this everyday. I commute to school and work and this pack is my trusty companion! The pack has enough room for a small binder, a book and even my fleece. I also throw in my wallet, bike lock, pump, and a snack. The 3L reservoir hold the perfect amount of precious water. On weekends, this pack comes along on hikes and longer bike rides. I'm planning on taking this on a backpacking trip as a smaller pack for exploring.
Put this bag through the wringer!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I purchased this bag more as a universal all around smaller backpack. It has performed perfectly. I use it daily for commuting to work, but then on the weekends have used it for anything from long distance trail runs to smaller sport climbing approaches.
I have only owned this bag for a summer, but with everyday use and consistent overloading. I am very happy with my purchase. The bag is still in perfect shape, colors are a little faded after a few mandatory washes but that is to be expected when you treat gear as I do.
On the route to the summit!
The Mule on the route to the summit of Little Bear Peak with my buddy Robin!
Happy with this pack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Wanted a pack for longer rides that held more water, but this pack is so comfortable that I use it for all my rides. This pack has tons of features from helmet hooks, to soft lined gadget pockets, making it the perfect MTB pack.
My Color Scheme
I don't see that BC has my color scheme but here it is and I love its looks!
Another great camel bak product.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Holds plenty of water for a day trip. Has a LOT of storage space with a bunch of pockets. My only knock is that it didn't do to well in the rain. After only about 15-20 minutes in a light rain, the contents of my bag had gotten pretty wet. If you are just doing day rides or hikes and it wont be raining, this is a good bag for you.
This Pack is Great!
This pack is the best little hydration pack I think you can get for a day ride in the mountains! I would say the best part about it is that the soft dry pocket for electronics is great because it is padded enough that when you fall it will most likely not break them! It is not too big, not too small, its all around great!!! Picture will be coming! Love the color schemes too!
CamelBak M.U.L.E. NV Hydration Pack
Great bag
I have the older version of this pack, but I still love it. I use it for everything from hiking, to canoeing trips, etc. Great fit and venting, love the colors, can fit full sized 3L bladder in it. Zippers function great, cool compartment to keep all of the small stuff organized. Lots of room, overall great pack for all around use, or for the intended purpose of shredding mountain bike trails.
The new NV Back Panel Design
Each pod articulates independently for optimal fit, ventilation and security (keeping the pack close to your body when hucking rocks and bombing trails).
MULE NV Hydration Pack Overview
CamelBak M.U.L.E. NV. Redesigned this year with an all-new back panel that contains articulating pods for extreme ventilation and helps lighten the load on your back. Mark Weir does some product testing and describes the best uses of this pack.
is the 3L water reservoir included?
Cesar L.,
Yes it is included.

Visongain's report predicts that medical biobanking market will reach 19.1 bllion dollars in 2015
Press release from: visiongain
The market for medical biobanking technologies and services has expanded rapidly. Biobanks form an important tool for the pharmaceutical industry, to accelerate the discovery and development of drugs. As that industry shifts to more-personalised medicine, the need for high-quality, well-maintained biospecimens intensifies. Biobanking will benefit the pharma and diagnostics industries this decade, the report shows. Many opportunities for providers and users of those services exist.
Dr Syed Ahmed, a senior healthcare industry analyst at visiongain, said: "Advances in genetic and stem cell research, as well as regenerative medicine, have increased the importance of biobanking. Biobanks have been established to support medical research. Those resources will reveal genetic associations with diseases, and also lead to the development of more-personalised therapies.
At the same time, the biobanking industry faces challenges. These include a lack of standardisation and harmonisation of biobanking practices, under-use of stored biospecimens, due to limited networking among biobanks, and ethical and socio-cultural issues."
Visiongain's study forecasts that the overall market and submarkets for medical biobanking technologies and services will grow steadily to 2022. An increasing focus on personalised medicine and stem cell research in a range of therapeutic areas will stimulate the industry. Strong areas will include the human tissue banking and stem cell banking markets, the report concludes. This new work adds to visiongain's wide range of analytical research on emerging industries and markets in healthcare.
