You will then receive a kit in the mail, give a cheek swab, and send it in. 1 in 40 registry members will be called for additional testing for a patient. 1 in 300 registry members will be selected as a possible donor for a patient. If you are selected, you will need to give a blood sample for further testing. You will be asked to make a time commitment of up to 30 to 40 hours over a 4-6 week period to attend appointments and donate. If you donate peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), you will receive injections of a drug called filgrastim to increase the number of blood-forming cells in your bloodstream.

Parents, do you know how fast food is being marketed to your kids?


It’s explained in the summary of the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity’s “Measuring Progress in Nutrition and Marketing to Children and Teens” which examines the nutritional quality of fast food menus, advertising on TV/internet, and marketing practices inside restaurants.


http://www.fastfoodmarketing.org/media/FastFoodFACTS


Some tips to counter the FastFood Marketing Megaphone: order milk/fruit/veg instead of soda/French fries, make fast food a special treat, no TV in children’s bedrooms/limit TV time (reduce exposure to commercials/advertising), redefine “snack,” more.
