New, more effective boundary training technology
Pulsed Proportional Stimulus
TX-1 base station transmitter
Dual radio receiver RC-8 collar
Works on yards from 1/10 acre to 50 acres
The new HC-8000 Super System uses a completely new, more effective boundary training technology that delivers a far more effective and humane method of delivering shock stimulus that trains your pet more quickly with less discomfort. The HC-8000 features the Pulsed Proportional Stimulus super advanced TX-1 base station transmitter with fully illuminated system status panel, power boost feature and optional rechargeable back-up battery. Transmitter is waterproof and outdoor mountable. Transmitter is current controlled providing consistent field width over very long wire lengths. RC-8 collar features dual radio receivers for precise and consistent range, built-in shock and battery test button and long life replaceable battery.
The new Pulsed Proportional Stimulus technology applies shock in very short, quickly pulsating bursts. As your pet moves closer to the boundary wire, the delivery rate of these bursts is continuously increased until your pet decides to retreat. The initial shock is a full voltage stimulus. It will definitely get your pet's attention, but it's too quick to produce any noticeable pain. However, if your pet continues on an approach toward the boundary wire, the shock pulses are continuously increased, becoming continuously more intense as the distance to the boundary wire decreases, until it becomes unbearable for even the toughest, most stubborn animal. This new approach actually allows your pet to decide for itself how much stimulus it is willing to accept before retreating away from the boundary.
The new, powerful, ultra-advanced TX-1 base station features a Fully Illuminated System Control Panel that continuously shows you System Status, Battery Condition, Wire Loop Break Alarm, Power Mode, Power Boost Switch, Easy Adjust Field Width Control, Water-Sealed Housing, Smart Power Switch, Optional Rechargeable Back-Up Battery, and Built-In Lightning Protection. Add as many collars as you need. There is no limit to the number of collars it can control. Signal range works on yards from 1/10 acre to 50 acres (with additional wire).
The new RC-8, Super-Slim is collar is slimmer and better than any other radio dog containment collar made. It features a battery test LED, built-in test lamp, stimulus test button, tone speaker, super strong molded strap, solid copper stimulus probes, and an extra rugged, waterproof casing. An audible sound burst is simultaneous with the pulsed stimulus because it has been shown that dogs train up to three times faster when tones are used as a reinforcing stimulus. The result is a vastly more effective, more humane electronic pet fence.
Complete System Includes:
• 1 RC-8 Super Slim Collar
• 1 HC-8000 Superior Base Station Transmitter
• 1 AC Wall Adapter
• 500 feet Heavy Duty Ultra-wire
• 50 Boundary Flags
• 5 Wire Splicers
• Complete Installation and Training Manual

I don't but going to someone on here I think uses Evernote app. I'm going to try it.
I "voted" YES - but am very inconsistent about it, I actually keep a better log in the summer when I train more and have less time for logs then during the winter months when I train sporadically. Probably because the winter training is just real basic stuff.
One other thing I do is keep a log of the Hunt Test set ups/Quals that I run and any concepts that the dog(s) have an issue with, especially if it knocks us out. I hate training "after the test", but I need to remember what the hole in the program is and train for it for the "next time.

When I was obedience training a pair of German shepherds for a friend I kept very detailed logs on my laptop. I used a Windows Office program called OneNote that I love very much. I wrote down what happened after every training session and looked over it just before the next one. 15 min after to write and reflect, 5 minutes before to refresh.
Now that I'm just working with my own dog I don't do as much. I am doing a lot more planning of what I'm going to work on before hand. Makes the training flow much smoother.

The spacious Alumni Center, opened in 2010, won't hold the entire Keene State alumni family (33,000 strong and counting). But like any family homestead, it is an anchor, meeting place, and focal point for alumni activities and gatherings.
Alumni and guests enter the building through the light-filled reception gallery and lobby. It is an inviting place to meet and mingle with comfortable furniture, wireless access, and a working fireplace. Centennial Hall, and the adjoining terrace, is designed to accommodate Reunion banquets, class meetings, job fairs, events for campus and the community, as well as private events.
The second floor of the building, reached by stairs or elevator, houses the College Advancement Division staff (Alumni and Parent Relations, Development, Advancement Services, and Marketing and Communications).
The Alumni Center is designed with environmentally friendly building materials and enfolds the former Newman Center building into the floor plan.

September 2008 Construction Update
September 27th, 2008 marks the one year anniversary of the public opening of the Visitor & Administration Center and the commencement of construction on the new Parking Garden. The Center has garnered acclaim from National, State and City chapters of the American Institute of Architects as well as coverage from industry publications such as GreenSource, Metropolis, Metropolitan Home and the Architects Newspaper. In June, the Center earned Platinum LEED certification, making it the first public building in New York City to achieve this level of certification from the US Green Building Council.
The Garden has since collaborated with Columbia University to monitor the performance of its 3,000 sq ft green roof, as well as a sample black roof and white roof, through a network of weather instrumentation. For live data from this system, visit the tab on the left or click here.

Well, I'm home. Have been for a few days, actually, but in between jetlag, flaky internet, and nesting, I haven't gotten around to posting.
The flight home was ghastly and let's never talk about it, okay? I am still processing my thoughts on the trip overall but I guess the quick version is: 2.5 months is a long time to be city-hopping, it was more expensive than I expected, it was great to meet people everywhere (hi! thanks!), and I really want to spend more time in Andalusia and in the north-east of England.
Now I'm home I'm sorting out money (yay Centrelink) and work (some balance of Growstuff and more audio stuff), settling into our rearranged home (we have a new housemate, and a significant turnover and reshuffling of furniture as a result), and trying to restart my social life. Incidentally, if you're interested in my domestic blog it's over here and likely to have lots of food/gardening/crafts in the near future. NESTING. SPRING CLEANING. MORE NESTING.
I'm becoming increasingly disenchanted with social networking websites and probably going to delete my Facebook account. Yes, again. Especially after they outed queer students to their parents and then blamed the students for not understanding Facebook's "robust privacy controls" — despite the students having locked down their accounts, and Facebook ignoring those settings.
With the way Twitter is going these days, I may drop that too. Or at least stop using it as a primary interface to the world. I keep coming back to the fact that if I'm going to create stuff, I don't want some corporate jerkwads shoving ads all over it, potentially ads for things that are anathema to me. See, for example, that time when LiveJournal put anti-equality ads all over someone's post celebrating a same-sex marriage, or the "Meet Hot Gamer Chicks" ads we used to get on the Geek Feminism wiki. I'll gladly pay money to support a service, but I won't stick around for that sort of misuse of my words.
So, if you want to be sure to keep following me even if I drop off those places, you might want to subscribe to my blog (by RSS, or you can get email updates if you prefer — there's a subscription form on the bottom of every page on my site.); or subscribe to my journal on Dreamwidth (mostly an aggregate of this blog and my domesticity blog, with a few other things from time to time); or on whatever the next not-completely-asshatty social network gets enough people to be worth the trouble.

That was the most disgusting hoax I've ever seen! An old psycho who likes to pretend he's still in his glory days even though he loses his breath after one verse of the first song? And what was that "band" he had? Looks like after he fired the real talent, he went to a stinking circus looking for half-witted clowns to fill out the roster!
Sorry, but it's not GNR without Slash. Axl and Slash are both as vital to that band as Mick and Keith are to the Stones. Without either, it's not the same.
And Axl looks like he could take tips in aging well from David Lee Roth. Not to mention that even Brian Wilson thinks he's completely insane.
From here forward, I propose that we all refer to anything after The Spaghetti Incident? as the work of a bad cover band called The-b*****d-cover-band-stealing-the-name-of-one
W Axl Rose needs to be flogged with whips soaked in yak spit. Any solo release by any of the other Gunners is a million times better than the garbage he does with his cover band. Yes, even Duff's pretty miserable Believe In Me.
Viva Guns Sans Rose!

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
A south Mississippi woman was beaten, bound and burned within an inch of her life in the Pratts community on Sept. 14 and Mississippi law has no statute to charge the suspects for attempted murder.
After speaking with one of the suspects, Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said, he learned they thought the victim was dead when they set her on fire.
Had the victim been dead and the suspects still caught and arrested, they could have been charged with murder – possibly capital murder – but because she rolled the fire out and somehow made her way to a nearby house, the suspects received lesser charges.
Christopher Mink, 40, of Baldwyn, is charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault and third-degree arson with a bond of $1 million and the other suspect, Cherie Clark, 40, of Baldwyn, is charged with aggravated assault and kidnapping. Clark's bond was set at $500,000 last week. Both are still in the Lee County jail.
Johnson said that, from talking to the victim, other accounts and evidence, they believe she was bound with plastic zip ties, assaulted and then transported in the back of a truck to a dump site where she was covered in a lighter-fluid-like accellereant and set on fire.
The victim is recovering at an undisclosed location and Johnson said doctors have given her hope of surviving her injuries.
Johnson said if the victim does not survive, he will push for the death penalty.
If found guilty, Mink could receive up to a life sentence in Mississippi Department of Corrections' custody for kidnapping and up to 23 years in the state penitentiary for assault and arson. He also could get one year in the state penitentiary and one year in MDOC custody, according to the law's minimum charges.
"When you look at aggravated assault, whether they broke her arm or she's in the shape she's in now, it's the same penalty," Johnson said. "That's a lot to play with."
District Attorney Trent Kelly said he and other public prosecutors have been in talks with state legislators about the way murder, manslaughter and aggravated assault charges are worded.
"There are conversations like attempted murder we've been having for six months of so," Kelly said. "I think an attempted murder statute would be helpful."
Johnson said a statute that based on aggravated assault or attempted murder penalty on the extent and duration of a victim's injuries would be something he would like to see.
"If it's a broken arm that looks like it will heal, that's one thing," Johnson said. "But if you lose some means of ability or eyesight or hearing – if you're losing that, I think the aggravated assault should have a different minimum for loss of quality of life sustained, based on the longevity of the injuries."
The amount of time served under each penalty ultimately is chosen by the judge, if a jury finds the suspect guilty. In the case of kidnapping, if the jury agrees on a life sentence, the suspect receives a life sentence; but if they find the suspect guilty and can't agree on a life sentence, the judge can give the suspect between one and 30 years in MDOC custody.
Mink and Clark are set to appear before the next grand jury in the First Judicial District. Johnson said he is comfortable going to court with the evidence and testimony they have now.
A circuit court hold has been placed on Mink, pending a hearing slated for Friday. At the hearing, the court will be petitioned to revoke Mink's $1 million bond, meaning he could remain in jail until his trial.

Rumor has it that Lane Kiffins has paid the CSPD, under the table of course, to get as many Aggie defensive players kicked off the team as possible.
This time they made a mistake and arrested one that hadn't been drinking. Also one that won't put up with their crap and is fighting back through the legal system.

I misspoke, the magnets are in the hands, not the lightsabers, so you should be able to store the sabers regardless of direction equally fine - they might be carrying some residual magnetic energy, but that should bleed off since they're not magnets themselves but just ferrous. That said, I haven't got this figure and sadly likely won't, so I dunno if the problem is that the pockets are too small or something else.
Yeah, I can see getting it if you have the funds, but compared to pricing from just 2 or 3 years ago, it's a hard pill to swallow. This is the most expensive figure in the line to date, and it really doesn't offer THAT much product beyond what the others do. The goodwill Sideshow enjoyed when their figures were cheaper - where we could overlook little errors and problems - has unfortunately evaporated with this new pricing structure so it puts everything under a microscope.

The Hunt For a New 'Hunger Games' Director Is On
The Playlist has broken a pretty major story, confirming that director Gary Ross will not be back to helm the second and/or third films in The Hunger Games franchise. There have been rumblings all week about contract negotiations, and Ross has now politely passed. The site chalks it up to both Ross's lack of desire to stay in the same universe for the next several years combined with a somewhat low-ball offer from Lionsgate. Whatever the case, Ross is gone and the hunt for a new director is now on.

So like a lot of other folks on the planet right now - I'm addicted to Pinterest! I'm finding quite a few good recipes as well as some new Food Hussy readers!
One of the recipes that has taken Pinterest by storm is the Bird's Nest Breakfast Cups - there are a few recipes out there - but I found one from The Little Birdie Blog.
Bird's Nest Breakfast Cups
1 24 oz. bag of shredded hash browns
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tbs oil (I use olive oil)
1/3 cup shredded cheddar
Bacon bits or 8=10 pieces of cooked bacon, crumbled
Extra shredded cheddar
Muffin tin
- Take your bag of hash browns and mix in the salt, pepper, oil and 1/3 cup shredded cheese.
- Divide amongst the cups in your muffin tin, making sure to grease tin beforehand.
- Bake hash browns at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until toasty.
- Once they're finished, take them out and lower the temp of the oven to 350 degrees.
- Crack an egg into each of the cups
- Top with bacon and a sprinkle of extra cheese
- Bake at 350 degrees for 13-16 minutes (or until the eggs are as firm as you like them).
- Slide a knife along the edges to remove from pan when cooled.
Birdie Notes:
- I like to break the yolks in my eggs a bit once I put them into the hash brown cups
- When I cheat on these, I use the Oscar Meyer Bacon pieces found in the "salad dressing" section of the grocery store. They're the closest thing to fresh bacon I can find, and all-natural. :)
- You can also experiment with ham, sausage, and veggies to make them your own!
Food Hussy Notes:
- I will scramble the eggs next time - I broke them like she recommended and they came out sort of like hardboiled eggs - which isn't a bad thing - but I want to see if I can get them a little fluffier.
- I added salsa before baking and it was a really fantastic addition - it added a little juiciness and lots of flavor!
- Have fun - add what you like and/or what you have in the fridge!

By NEMS Daily Journal
Silver Airways continues its struggles to stabilize and assure reliability for its flights on the Tupelo/Atlanta route, as an angry letter from the relative of a customer who was left stranded over last weekend in Atlanta described in Tuesday's Daily Journal.
Silver, which started its 18-flights-per-week schedule in October, is the successor to Mesaba, a regional Delta Air Lines subsidiary, which stopped its service because it was unprofitable, even under the Essential Air Service subsidy it received. Silver also is under EAS, a federal program to help maintain service at what could be characterized as struggling airports.
Silver, which is a restart of an older airline that declared bankruptcy and then emerged with a new name and some new routes, arguably has not been as unreliable as individual customers, in their personal situations, experienced. Every airline passenger would agree that any flight missed or canceled or long delayed becomes a gross inconvenience, potentially ruining family plans and/or business travel.
Silver, in its own defense, says most, but not all, of the recent flight cancellations were weather-related, which hooks into safety. Airplanes, being unequal machines, don't all have the same weather capability.
Tupelo flyers, it should be noted, are not alone among Silver's complaining customers. Passengers at some other airports have similar complaints.
The three-month run that forms Silver's record in Tupelo has seen a 53 percent decline in passenger boardings compared to the same period a year ago, a steepening of the trend that was apparent during 2012, even when Delta was serving Tupelo Regional.
In fact, Tupelo boardings fell below 10,000 for the first time in recent memory, and that will cost the airport about $1 million in federal support during the 2014 budget cycle that begins in October.
The long-term trouble that weak and declining boardings pose is the main concern for the airport authority. Pushing Silver to be more efficient is a reasonable expectation, but any other carrier would be under the same pressure to provide service and schedules that could pull boardings back to healthy levels, which had been the long-term status of passenger service in Tupelo.
The path to follow is transparency with the traveling public by the Tupelo Airport Authority, airport executives and Silver Airways.

PostNuke needs PostNuke usersThe gist may be the difference between a need and an asset, or possibly between users and contributors. Maybe I'm being picky here, but I'll stand by my words that a software project does not need users. Usually "a project needs users" is stated like a self-explaining mantra, which to me it is not. Let me elaborate: I am a user, like most of us here, to any number of OS projects. Not a single one of them needs me. And how should they ? To most of them I do not contribute, and they don't know that I'm out there using their software. If I emigrate to a lone beach after having written these lines and never again touch a keyboard for the rest of my natural life it will not make the slightest difference to them. And heaven forbid it should!
Treat users like your greatest asset and they will turn around and become your greatest asset.
By contributing, as in "giving useful and usable feedback" I may turn into an asset for a project. Even a single accurate description of a bug will help. By contributing more I get more valuable for a project. I may become a developer on a project by contributing code, design, whatever. And I can still be replaced. If the project is interesting enough it will be carried through.If I don't report that bug, someone else will.
I'll go one step further: I may start a project, or make a unique contribution, something only I could have done. If I'm any good that contribution will still exist and be usable when I leave the project. The fact that individuals can be replaced is in my opinion one of the biggest assets of open source.
To return to my original point: Most users of software are not assets for the project or the team that produced it. They are just consumers, and thus are not needed at all. This is true for most of us, for most of the software we use. Some users will turn into assets - or let themselves be turned - and if you want to argue that then we need them, so be it. I rest my case. :-)
And as an afterthought...the yet-to-be-named ProjectX will be open to a community again. Of course.
A second afterthought on re-reading this...maybe I missed your point completely and the need for users is derived from some measure of success, or satisfaction in having done something that a lot of people make use of. This is a legitimate motivation, but it is not mine. If you draw motivation from a userbase in any way at all the argument put forth above becomes invalid for you and the need for users self-evident indeed.

a joke he made in a column for a Dallas paper. Five people wrote pieces about President Bush moving to Dallas. Here is what has David Feherty in trouble.
"From my own experience visiting troops in the middle east, I can tell you this though, despite how the conflict has been portrayed in our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Osama bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death."
He also wrote this about the George and Laura.
"Given the events of the past eight years, once George the Second escaped from Washington, D.C., I think most of us here in Dallas would have understood if he and the former First Missus had moved someplace a little more secluded than Preston Hollow. Like Area 51, maybe, or some sandbar in the Galapagos Islands, just so they could catch their breath for a couple of years and take stock of their lives."

Appelget named director of community and regional affairs
Posted April 10, 2006; 01:01 p.m.
Woodbridge, Jezierny take on new responsibilities
Kristin S. Appelget, president and chief executive officer of the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce, a member and former president of West Windsor Township Council, and a fourth-generation resident of the Princeton area has been named Princeton University's director of community and regional affairs.
She will begin her new position on May 22, succeeding Pam Hersh, who left the University in March to become vice president for government and community affairs for the Princeton HealthCare System.
"As president of the chamber and a council member in West Windsor, Kristin has been an excellent leader and an attentive listener," said Robert K. Durkee, the University's vice president and secretary, who announced the appointment. "She is widely respected and admired for her intelligence and perceptiveness, her ability to work effectively with a wide range of people, and her deep commitment to the communities in which she has lived and worked. She is thoughtful, approachable, creative, persistent and hard-working. I can't imagine a better person to take on the many and demanding responsibilities of this critically important -- and uniquely challenging -- position."
A magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., Appelget worked in the financial services industry until 2002 when she left UBS PaineWebber to become president and CEO of the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce. Under her leadership, the chamber changed its organizational structure, achieved unprecedented growth in membership, relocated in Princeton Borough, created new programs, and interacted extensively with local, regional and statewide government officials on public policy creation, implementation and advocacy.
In 1999, Appelget was elected to a four-year term on the West Windsor Township Council, and she was re-elected in 2003. She served twice as president, in 2000-01 and 2003-04, and once as vice president, in 1999-2000. She will be leaving her position on township council on May 8. A member and current treasurer of the YWCA board of directors and a recipient of several awards from the Princeton Corridor Rotary Club, Appelget also has served on the Princeton HealthCare System Community Advisory Committee for Strategic Planning and the West Windsor-Plainsboro High School Futures Committee. Last year she was recognized with the West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South Alumni Achievement Award.
A lifelong resident of the Princeton region, Appelget traces her family's history to the early 20th century when her great-grandfather, Jacques Honore, left a position as a barber in Oxford, England, with the intention of moving to the American West to become a farmer. Instead he ended up in Princeton, and around 1913 he opened the legendary Jack Honore Barber Shop. Appelget's grandmother, Ann Clayton, was part of a family that owned the venerable dry goods store, H.P. Clayton's, and delivered coal to families in Princeton. Her grandmother was the first woman hired by RCA when it moved to the Princeton area. She also worked for 26 years for the Princeton Red Cross, including 14 years as executive director.
"As a lifelong resident of the Princeton region, I have an understanding of the critical role that Princeton University plays throughout the area," Appelget said. "My new position will allow me to bring my experience as a lifetime local resident, my time in local government, my involvement in community organizations and my love of Princeton together to continue the University's tradition of active outreach to our neighbors. I am excited by the opportunity and the challenge."
The director of community and regional affairs oversees and seeks to strengthen the University's relationships with the five municipalities and two counties in which it is located (Princeton Borough, Princeton Township, West Windsor Township, Plainsboro Township, South Brunswick Township, Mercer County and Middlesex County). The director works with governing bodies, approval agencies, key staff and elected and appointed officials on issues related to such topics as transportation, land use, planning, zoning, approval processes, affordable housing, economic development, civil rights and human rights, volunteer engagement and University contributions.
In addition to Appelget's appointment, Durkee announced two other changes related to the community and regional affairs office:
- Responsibility for the University's relations with the state of New Jersey will be reassigned from this office to Director of Public Affairs Karen Jezierny and the name of the office will revert from "community and state affairs" to its original "community and regional affairs." Jezierny, a former assistant treasurer of the state of New Jersey and a former member of the staff of the speaker of the New Jersey General Assembly, was appointed director of public affairs in 2004. At the time she was serving as director of the University's Policy Research Institute for the Region, having previously served the University as associate dean for administration in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and as Hersh's predecessor as director of community and state affairs.
- Karen Woodbridge, an 18-year member of the Office of Community and State Affairs and currently its associate director, will be promoted to the position of director of community relations in the renamed Office of Community and Regional Affairs. In cooperation with the director of community and regional affairs, she will be responsible for representing the University in the community, especially outside of governmental and regulatory venues, and will seek to encourage multiple forms of interaction between the University and the community. She also will oversee the University's community auditing and continuing education programs, and will continue to serve as a special assistant to the vice president and secretary.
"These changes significantly increase Princeton's capacity to become engaged in local, state and regional matters, and to encourage additional relationships between the University and members of the community," Durkee said. "They recognize Karen Jezierny's skills and experience in working with the state, and they allow Karen Woodbridge to take more senior level responsibility for a broad range of community relations initiatives. At the same time, they allow Kristin Appelget to focus even more time and attention on the broad range of community and regional issues that will be her principal responsibility, working closely and collaboratively with Karen Jezierny, Karen Woodbridge, community officials and many University colleagues whose responsibilities relate to municipal and regional agencies and organizations."

THE man behind a popular boot sale is fighting to get the weekly event back.
Peter Stevenson, 66, has launched a planning appeal after Basildon Council banned him from running the Big One boot sale from Stevenson's Farm, off the A127 in Wickford.
When he sold one of his fields to the Dogs Trust, which has built a rehoming centre on the land, council officers assumed Mr Stevenson would retire, but he had other ideas.
He continued to run the "Big One" from his west field, next to his house, until Basildon Council issued him with a legal notice at the beginning of last year.
It also stops him putting on 14 events a year, which any landowner is entitled to do without securing planning permission.
Mr Stevenson said: "People come up to me and my wife in the supermarket and say they can't believe what Basildon Council is doing.
"I have had to lay off staff, it's lost me a lot of business and cost money to go to appeal. Even if we win the appeal, it's going to take time to build the boot sale back up to what it was.
"I'm very annoyed with the council because it should have let us continue working while all this was ongoing."
A planning inquiry in front of a Government inspector has been scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 11.
Mr Stevenson said he has aerial photographs and statements from witnesses proving the boot sale has been taking place at Stevenson's Farm every Sunday between March and October for the past 24 years.
Basildon Council previously refused a certificate of lawful use because "Mr Stevenson has not demonstrated on the balance of probabilities that the land to the west of Stevenson's Farm has been used for car boot sales for more than 14 days per annum for a period of ten years".
A spokesman for Basildon Council said: "Mr Stevenson has lodged an appeal against the council's certificate of lawful existing use refusal to hold car boot sales at the site.
"An independent public inquiry will now be held on November 11 to consider whether the use is lawful.
"The council will defend its reasons for refusal at the inquiry."

Challenges in genetic diagnostics
Rapid development in genetic based molecular diagnostics has made wide application of tools, from basic research to detection of abnormalities in human health, possible. However, the industry faces various challenges in implementing genetic based molecular diagnostic at clinical stage.
Frost and Sullivan notes that while these advanced, automated and integrated technologies widen the application scope of molecular diagnostics, they also lead to high test costs, which are unaffordable to huge sections of patients in Asia-Pacific. Besides, lack of healthcare insurance and reimbursement schemes for diagnostics, which usually are not considered as important as drugs, further limits adoption in the region. The shortage of skilled technicians and insufficient infrastructure adds to the challenge. Physicians and pathologists are not trained to operate genetic diagnostic tools and this creates a gap in understanding the appropriate application of the technology.
"Expanding testing menus and application areas, as well as developing automated instruments through research and development are also crucial," notes Ms Gulifeiya. "Molecular diagnostic companies must look to enhance the accuracy of test results and reduce time consumption," she added.
Frost and Sullivan mentions that clinicians and patients must be educated on the medical value and benefit of molecular diagnostics as well as the need for early detection and preventive medicine. It emphasizes that governments need to establish reimbursements for molecular tests to boost test volumes as well as to reduce the treatment costs.
