Everest Road - Blacktop to Basecamp
June 20, 2007


BEIJING -- China plans to build a highway on the side of Mount Everest to pave the way for the Olympic torch's journey to the peak of the world's tallest mountain.

In April, organizers of the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics announced ambitious plans for the longest torch relay in Olympic history -- a 137,000-kilometer, 130-day route that will cross five continents and scale Mount Everest.

The Xinhua news agency reported yesterday that construction of the road, budgeted at 150 million yuan ($19.7 million) would turn a 108-kilometer rough path from the foot of the 8,850-meter-tall mountain to a base camp at 5,200 meters "into a blacktop highway fenced by undulating guardrails."

Xinhua said construction of the road would start next week and would take about four months to complete.

An official from the Secretariat of the Tibetan government confirmed the project was planned, but declined to give details. Routes from Tibet and Nepal are the most commonly used to go up the mountain.

Twinject Review

From Rick Curtis at Outdoor Ed.com
According to medical students 35% of patients may experience anaphylactic reactions requiring more than 1 dose of epinephrine. In the past the only product available has been the Epi-pen manufactured by Dey Pharmacuetical. The Dey Product is a one-dose unit which means that a second unit would need to be available to give a second dose.

The Twinject product is a unique departure from the Epi-pen in that it has two doses in each injector. The first dose is given with an autoinjecting needle similar to the Epi-pen. Removal of a cap allows for a second dose to be administered manuallt. Since 36% of patients who end up receiving epinephrine for anaphylaxis require a second dose the Twinject offers significant advantages over the Epi-pen. The Twinject is available in both adult (0.3 mg Epinephrine) and child (0.15 mg Epinephrine) units. With a retail cost comparable to Epi-pen. Programs who carry multiple doses will see considerable cost savings for first aid kit purchases.
