TriMark Publications, LLC (http://www.trimarkpublications.com), a global leader in the biotechnology, healthcare and life sciences publishing, cites in its newly published Regenerative Medicine Markets report that the global market for regenerative medicine products will exceed $3 billion in 2010 and is expected to reach $4.5 billion by 2014. Regenerative medicine is a technique to treat injuries and diseases with specially-grown tissues by way of several different methods, including stem cell therapy and tissue engineering.

Before scientific advances such as stem cells, remedies for damaged tissue or organ functions due to congenital deformities, injuries, diseases or simple wear-and-tear relied upon either the body's ability to repair itself (or not) or a surgeon's skilled hands. Now, the area of regenerative medicine promises to revolutionize humanity's ability to remedy countless physical maladies that have afflicted humans and other animals through techniques like stem cells and tissue engineering.

In this study, TriMark Publications reviews the market for regenerative medicine solutions. The areas covered in this study include: available and emerging technologies in the field, the U.S. and global market size for regenerative medicine products, and profiles of companies that are focusing on the regenerative medicine sector.

Once upon a time a bestselling author named Gail Carson Levine wrote a picture book about Little Red Riding Hood. Levine was already renowned for her fresh takes on classic fairy tales, such as Ella Enchanted, her Newbery Honor-winning novel based on Cinderella.  For this new book she decided to turn a traditional tale on its head.  Or turn a sheep's tail into a lamb's ear.  Or change a wolf into a sow's purse.  Oh, never mind.

A feisty young shepherd girl teams up with a wolf in Betsy Red Hoodie (HarperCollins), which Publishers Weekly calls an "uproarious adaptation." It's a followup to the popular Betsy Who Cried Wolf, both illustrated by Scott Nash.  Levine works her signature magic with action, suspense, and plenty of woolly humor as the story takes a surprising twist.

Betsy and Zimmo the wolf are friends who guard the sheep.  But when they set out for Grandma's house and Zimmo suddenly races ahead, Betsy worries that maybe he really does intend to eat Grandma.  Wisecracking sheep and punning lambs don't pull the wool over anyone's eyes in this hilarious tale, from which every young reader is sure to come away in a good, not B-A-A-A-D, mood.  Nash's funny illustrations depict a contemporary-looking Betsy (in a red hoodie, of course!), sheep that sport hats, shoes, and backpacks, and an earnest wolf in men's clothing who enjoys picking daisies.

Young readers first encountered Betsy and Zimmo in Betsy Who Cried Wolf, which Kirkus Reviews called "a must-have." The determined young heroine, fresh out of Shepherd School, outfoxes Zimmo the wolf when she discovers his fondness for pie.  But Zimmo, in turn, has a surprise for Betsy.  Drama and wit abound in this delightful romp.

Gail Carson Levine's first book, Ella Enchanted, won a Newbery Honor and was made into a major motion picture.  She has received numerous awards and is the author of seventeen other children's books, many of which have been bestsellers.  Her work has been translated into thirty-five languages.  Levine lives in New York's Hudson Valley.

- "Devilfish - The Life & Times of a Poker Legend", Published Penguin on September 9, Shines Light On Poker Star's Near Murderous Prison Past

The UK's most successful ever tournament poker player, Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliott, is never far from controversy and his new autobiography, published by Penguin on September 9, is expected to fuel debate about the colourful and charismatic gambling legend ahead of the book launch tomorrow at Poker in the Park, London.

In this explosive and insightful book Ulliott reveals, for the first time, the extent of the violent and unpredictable world in which he lived before he found poker fame and fortune.

He details in glorious technicolour his near ruinous stints in prison which saw him spark a riot over a snooker game and in self-defence attempt to smash a skinhead weight lifter with a 10-kilo weight.

Ulliott goes on to admit regularly toting a gun to his backroom poker games around the north of England, and occasionally using it.

However, the violence of his early life is tempered with a decency and sense of humour and has received high praise from those who have read it so far, including:

"The book is, like the man, fast, funny, scary, smart, cocky, colourful, and I adore them both." Vicky Coren, The Observer.

"Ulliott's book is a thrilling ride out of the darkness and into the light. He tells his story with his trademark, tongue-in-cheek humour and is effortlessly charming - even when it turns dark, violent, and is verging on the amoral." Card Player Europe.

"It's realistic, thought-provoking and... compelling stuff." Blonde Poker.

Devilfish launches his new book, Devilfish: Life and Times of a Poker Legend at Poker in the Park on September 3 in Leicester Square at 7.00 p.m. in the Lecture Marquee with a public reading followed by a Q&A and book-signing session.

Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the nation's oldest children's literacy organization, and US Airways (NYSE: LCC) announced they have teamed up to kick-off the third year of "Fly with US. Read with Kids.®," a program designed to demonstrate the importance of reading with young children. A key component of the program will include the Read with Kids Challenge, where participants can log the amount of minutes they spend reading to children. The nationwide goal is to achieve 10 million minutes between September 1 and October 31. Readers can register to participate and log the number of minutes they read to children on an ongoing basis at www.rif.org/readwithkids.

"Reading, much like flying, takes you on journeys to new places and helps you discover new worlds. By partnering with RIF, US Airways is honored to help children in the communities where our employees live and work discover the joy of reading and provide them with a better foundation for academic and economic success. Because of our past successful Read with Kids Challenges, we've increased our goal, but I know we can reach it by working together," said Doug Parker, chairman and CEO of US Airways.

Since the partnership first launched in 2008, US Airways and RIF have helped log a combined total of 14 million minutes read with children as part of the Read with Kids Challenge.  

RIF encourages children to experience reading as a fun daily activity to help foster early childhood literacy development. The launch of this year's RIF-US Airways partnership coincides with the beginning of the new school year and is a timely reminder that September is National Literacy Month. The Read with Kids Challenge helps promote recreational reading habits that prepare students to achieve more in school and life.  

"Motivating children to read at an early age is critical to developing successful students, and RIF is pleased to partner with US Airways to get more communities reading," said Carol H. Rasco, president and CEO of RIF. "Each year, RIF sets a high goal to achieve during the Read with Kids Challenge, and I'm excited to see our nation strive to reach 10 million minutes of reading with children this year."

As part of the Read with Kids Challenge, participants will be entered to win a grand prize drawing of a Walt Disney World® Resort vacation package from US Airways Vacations, US Airways gift cards, and other weekly giveaways. US Airways, the official airline of RIF, will also reward individuals who join them in supporting RIF. For gifts of $50 or more made through the campaign, US Airways will award the donor up to 5,000 Dividend Miles. Donors can also receive Maisy Takes a Trip, a special edition book by best-selling author Lucy Cousins with a donation of at least $25. To sign up for the challenge or to make a donation, visit www.rif.org/readwithkids. More information will be available on Twitter via @RIFWEB or @USAirways, or RIF's Facebook fan page.

Throughout the duration of the campaign, RIF and US Airways will host reading celebrations in Charlotte, N.C., Philadelphia, and Phoenix. The events will feature a RIF book distribution where children get to choose a book for their own home libraries, family-friendly activities, and read-alouds where US Airways employees will interact with students and families.

When first-time author Terry Kelhawk added the tag line, "What they learn about the Koran could change the world or cost them their lives," to the cover of her novel, The Topkapi Secret, it was the novel's protagonists she had in mind. But if some experts on extreme Islam are right, it may be the author herself who should be looking over her shoulder.

Shirin Taber, author of Muslims Next Door: Uncovering Myths And Creating Friendships, though supportive of Kelhawk's right to express herself, is concerned about what may follow.

"The Topkapi Secret is not a book I'd write, and could quite possibly put her life in grave danger for assertions made about the Koran," noted Taber. "Nevertheless, I respect her courage to use a novel to share her research and personal experiences with her readers."

Wafa Sultan, author of A God Who Hates: The Courageous Woman Who Inflamed the Muslim World Speaks Out Against the Evils of Islam, agrees the dangers are real.

"To me, there is no greater virtue than risking your life to save others, and I salute Terry Kelhawk for taking that risk to make our world a better place," Sultan said. "Pointing her finger to what the Quran is about is a noble job that should qualify her for a Nobel Prize."

Kelhawk's publisher, Prometheus Books, has previously published non-fiction books critical of Islam, but The Topkapi Secret is the house's first foray into thriller fiction. Some have noted that the greater attention popular culture may bring to the issue could result in stronger Muslim reactions than purely academic works receive.

For her part, Kelhawk downplays the risks.

"Sure, I've had threats," Kelhawk says. "I knew there were risks when I wrote the book because most Muslims think that the Koran has never been changed, though it has been. Still, the novel has strong Muslim characters in exciting situations and is full of good cultural details about the Middle East. So while some may be offended, others will enjoy it."
