New AIDS Drugs Still a Distant Glimmer
March 13, 2002
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
There have been no major breakthroughs in AIDS therapies since the development of protease inhibitors six years ago. And with current therapies bedeviled by serious side effects and growing viral resistance, hopes are fading for a major advance. This was very apparent at the Ninth Retrovirus Conference in Seattle last month.Adapted from:
"It's becoming more and more difficult to make a major breakthrough" in AIDS research, said Raymond Schinazi of Emory University in Atlanta. "All the easy stuff has already been done."
"We weren't expecting a great deal this year, and we didn't get it," said Dr. Harvey A. Elder of Loma Linda University Medical Center.
AIDS therapies have extended lives and slashed the AIDS death rate from about 40,000 a year to 15,000, but the number of new infections has held steady at about 40,000 per year. Almost 1 million Americans are living with an HIV infection, according to new figures from the CDC.
As people live longer, new complications emerge and become apparent. Paramount among them are side effects caused by the drugs themselves, ranging from simple nausea and lethargy to abnormal fat distribution, high cholesterol levels, diabetes and, perhaps, an increased risk of heart attacks.
Given the complications, many are abandoning their drugs. New data show that those who quit are much more likely to develop AIDS or to die. It is hoped that brief interruptions, or structured treatment interruptions, will assist viral control by exposing HIV to the immune system. Several studies of this approach have yielded no new results. However, a new European study did look at the effect of total withdrawal. According to Dr. Jens D. Lundgren of the EuroSIDA Coordinating Office in Denmark, a 25-country study of AIDS treatment regimens found that 16 percent of the 3,610 patients studied have stopped taking their drugs due to side effects. Those who did stop were six times as likely to develop AIDS or to die as those who continued receiving the drugs. Those who stopped for a while and then resumed treatment were still twice as likely to die.
The constantly mutating HIV has continually frustrated researchers. Indeed, the whole point of combination therapy is to reduce viral replication sharply so that the virus cannot mutate. Many times the virus simply mutates despite the decrease in replication. Today, some patients carry viruses that are resistant to many or all of the 15 drugs used to treat HIV. "These are patients who really need new options desperately," said Dr. Martin Markowitz of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York.
Tipranavir is a new protease inhibitor that binds more tightly to the active site of enzymes, clogging the site and preventing the normal function of the virus. "It interacts in a more flexible manner with protease so it is able to bind to drug-resistant HIV," said Markowitz. Unlike existing protease inhibitors, he said, it is actually more effective against resistant viruses than against unmutated ones. Markowitz has reported on a 48-week trial in which tipranavir was combined with the protease inhibitor ritonavir in 41 patients. The combination reduced the virus in the blood to undetectable levels, and none of the patients developed resistance to the drug.
Dr. Brian Gazzard of Chelsea and Westminister Hospital in London described a new reverse transcriptase inhibitor called TMC125 which seems also to be effective against resistant viruses. He and his colleagues gave the new drug to 12 patients for a week. The drug slashed the virus replication by 99 percent even in patients who were resistant to other reverse transcriptase inhibitors. "That's a drop unlike anything we've seen before," said Dr. Joep Lange of the University of Amsterdam. "We need to understand why it has this particular potency."
The greatest long-term promise of new drugs, however, seems to lie in those that attack other parts of HIV's replication cycle, such as its entry into white blood cells. To enter these cells the virus must bind to two receptors, one called CD4 and one called CCR5. Researchers announced some progress on a drug called SCH C developed by Schering-Plough Co.
Finally, there is some good news for patients infected with HIV and the hepatitis C virus. Researchers led by Dr. Raymond Chung of Harvard Medical School, under a government-sponsored study, have been cautiously using the most powerful anti-hepatitis drug, interferon alpha 2-a, called Pegasys, with the conventional form of interferon. At least 90 percent of patients can tolerate the drugs and by 24 weeks, 44 percent of those receiving Pegasys had undetectable levels of hepatitis C virus in the blood.

The State Department's new special envoy for the closure of the prison camp at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba began work this week with a one-day trip to the notorious site and said Wednesday that closing it was a national priority.
Clifford Sloan, a former publisher of Slate magazine and a Washington attorney who's worked in all three branches of government, told McClatchy that he spent Tuesday touring the camp – learning about operations from its military commanders and talking with medical officials, presumably about the hunger strike that's now spread to 106 of the 166 prisoners.
Sloan's arrival this week rejuvenates diplomatic efforts that had been scaled back after his predecessor, Ambassador Daniel Fried, was moved to another department and the position vacated in January. Sloan said that he visited the prison camp on the second day of his new job because he considered it "essential" to have a feel for the place as he forges ties with Congress and foreign governments to move quickly toward the goal of repatriating detainees or finding countries willing to take prisoners in need of resettlement.
"President Obama has been very clear as he laid out the goal, and the objective is to close Guantanamo," Sloan said in a 15-minute interview, the first since his appointment last month. "Our marching orders are clear."
Sloan was reluctant to divulge details of the visit, however. He declined to say whether he'd toured the secret Camp 7, where 16 prisoners once held in clandestine CIA prisons overseas are now held, or whether he'd witnessed any detainees being force fed, a controversial process of forcing nutritional supplements into some hunger strikers via a tube inserted in the nose and snaked down the throat into the stomach.
More than 40 detainees undergo that process daily; human rights groups have deemed such feedings as unethical.
"I did have a chance to talk to medical officials," is all Sloan would say on the matter.
Sloan also confirmed that he met with the detention facility's current commander, Navy Rear Adm. John W. Smith Jr., and the de facto warden, Army Col. John V. Bogdan. Sloan said military officials gave him "a very thorough" tour of the premises, though he couldn't give specifics on which parts of the compound he saw.
Photos of his visit posted on the Pentagon's website showed that Sloan also visited Camp 6, at one point staring into an empty recreational yard, and the detention center's hospital.
Sloan deferred to the military on operational issues, such as whether the detainees could expect an easing anytime soon of the lockdown mode that's been imposed since early February, when guards went through captives' cells and, according to the detainees, seized personal property and disrespected Islam's holy book, the Quran. Prison officials have said they seized contraband, including weapons, during the raids. The searches touched off the hunger strike.
"I felt like I gained a very helpful understanding from going there," Sloan said.
In May, President Barack Obama gave a speech in which he renewed his first-term pledge to close Guantanamo.
Sloan said he reports to Secretary of State John Kerry but also will work closely with the White House on the diplomatic end of emptying the prison. In addition to Sloan, the State Department's Office of Guantanamo Closure includes a deputy and two advisers – all attorneys – and two others to work on issues related to parole-style hearings known as Periodic Review Boards.
A federal task force that was assembled in 2009 concluded that, of the 166 men still at Guantanamo, 46 should be held indefinitely, without trial or charge, and that 56 were approved for transfer. Another 30 Yemenis were deemed eligible for transfer under certain conditions. The rest – 32 – were referred for prosecution.
"We are working as hard as we can and as promptly as we can with foreign governments to move forward," Sloan said.
Under Fried, Sloan's predecessor, 29 detainees were repatriated and another 42 resettled in other countries for a total of 71 released. Since 2011, however, such transfers require certification from the Department of Defense, which hasn't approved a single one and has yet to name its own envoy to work on the prison's closure.

Report: Two-Thirds of Insurance Exchange Enrollees Paid Premiums
Law's Supporters Point to Late Enrollment Surge, Divergence From Higher Rates Some Insurers Released
Around two-thirds of people who had picked insurance plans through HealthCare.gov paid their first month's premium by April 15, according to a report released Wednesday by Republican lawmakers using data from insurers.
The GOP-led House Energy and Commerce Committee asked for payment data from 160 health plans selling policies in the Affordable Care Act's federal insurance exchange. The committee's leaders said that responses showed that across the 36 states served by the federal exchange, 67% of people who had finished the...

* Best Buy names Hubert Joly as new CEO - WSJ

* Best Buy names Hubert Joly as new CEO - WSJ
* Company says board showed "great flexibility"
* Schulze "disappointed" and "surprised" by board
By Michael Erman
NEW YORK, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Talks between struggling
retailer Best Buy Co Inc and its founder Richard Schulze
over taking the company private have broken down after the
company said Schulze had rejected its offer to conduct due
The consumer electronics company, which owns mobile phone
retailer Carphone Warehouse, said on Sunday that it had shown
"great flexibility", offering Schulze a proposal that would have
given him 60 days to put together a deal for the company and the
opportunity to take a buyout offer directly to shareholders from
"Mr Schulze did not accept the company proposal," it said in
a statement.
A source familiar with the situation said that Schulze and
his team were "shocked" by the Best Buy statement because they
thought they were still in talks over an agreement on due
"I am disappointed and surprised by the Best Buy board's
abrupt termination of our discussions," Schulze said in a
statement released early on Monday.
Meanwhile, Best Buy has selected Hubert Joly, former head of
privately held hospitality and travel company Carlson, to
replace interim chief executive Mike Mikan, the Wall Street
Journal said on Monday.
Schulze, the 71-year-old former chairman of Best Buy, said
in a letter to the board this month that he was interested in
teaming up with private equity partners to buy the company for
$24 to $26 per share.
However, he noted obstacles to making an official bid, which
included a provision of Minnesota law that would prevent him
from bringing in private equity firms and his inability to
access the company's financial data.
Best Buy said that the board's offer would have given
Schulze a waiver of Minnesota law so that he could develop a
definitive proposal.
It said that it asked Schulze to agree to "certain
protections for Best Buy and its shareholders, with the goal of
limiting outside distractions", in exchange for opening its
books. It did not detail the conditions.
The retailer has previously called Schulze's proposal
"highly conditional" and asked him to name his still undisclosed
private equity partners.
Schulze, who owns about a fifth of Best Buy's shares, has
said that he plans to fund a deal through a combination of
investments from private equity firms, debt financing and the
reinvestment of about $1 billion of his own equity.
Last week Schulze sent the company's board a second letter
saying that he would be persistent in stalking Best Buy.
"I still hope to work with the board on a mutually
beneficial transaction - but you should know that I am not going
away," he wrote.
Schulze resigned from the company's board in June and said
he was exploring options for his ownership stake. He lost the
chairmanship after an investigation by a board committee found
that he had failed to tell the board about allegations of
personal misconduct by former CEO Brian Dunn.
Best Buy has been closing stores, cutting jobs and trying
out a new store format to improve business. It has faced
criticism for being too slow to react to a changing retail
environment in which many consumers use Best Buy as a "showroom"
to try out gadgets before buying them online or elsewhere for
Best Buy shares closed on Friday at $20.27.

Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Acorda Therapeutics and Peregrine Pharmaceuticals
Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Acorda Therapeutics and Peregrine Pharmaceuticals
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 4, 2013) - The Biotech Industry has skyrocketed in 2012 as an increase in the number of new drug approvals has boosted investor optimism within the industry. The iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology Index Fund (IBB) and the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) have both gained over 35 percent in the past year. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Biotech Industry and provides equity research on Acorda Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: ACOR) and Peregrine Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: PPHM).
Access to the full company reports can be found at:
"In 2011, the U.S. FDA approved 30 new drugs, compared to 21 in 2010," S&P Capital IQ wrote in a note. "Through September 2012, the year-to-date total was 22. We see an improving trend for FDA first cycle review approvals and a rise in the rate of new drug approvals for rare diseases, which we think is helping to boost investor sentiment for the agency, after years of criticism stemming from inconsistency in making and communicating its decisions."
Another key factor in the Biotech Industry's success has been the "patent cliff" major pharmaceuticals have faced in 2012. Major drug manufacturers have looked to biotech companies to help offset major revenue losses from expiring patents as it is less time consuming than developing new drugs through R&D.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman denied on Thursday Israel had agreed to a formula for new talks with Palestinians based on the border of their future state being drawn along lines from before a 1967 war, with agreed land swaps.
An Israeli official had earlier told Reuters that if the Palestinians accepted the formula, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry could announce the relaunch of peace talks. He would describe the future Palestine as existing alongside a "Jewish state" of Israel.
But Mark Regev, a spokesman for Netanyahu, called Reuters and said "the report is untrue". Netanyahu's office had earlier declined to comment on what had been said by the first official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Kerry is visiting the region and hoping to find enough common ground for Israel and the Palestinians to renew peace talks stalled since 2010.
Israel has previously balked at agreeing to the 1967 borders as a basis for talks. Netanyahu demands that the Palestinians explicitly recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
Asked about Reuters' initial report that Israel had agreed to the 1967 formula, a U.S. official cautioned that "there is a great deal of inaccurate information out there right now and our focus is continuing to work through details with both parties".
Kerry said on Wednesday after talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Jordan that gaps between the sides had "very significantly" narrowed.
An Arab League committee said proposals for resuming peace talks made by Kerry, which have not been made public, "provide the ground and a suitable environment to start negotiations".

I am beginner in chocolate making and ordered this single origin milk chocolate and made my first chocolates last week. It is amazingly good, I bought this to make chocolates for family and friends who only like milk chocolate. For myself and 'others' who prefer dark chocolate I bought the single origin Brazil which is equally good. I even mixed the two and it was wonderful. THIS is a wonderful tasting chocolate that even I like. I will be a repeat customer from now on. Even though I am a beginner, I KNOW what good chocolate tastes like and THIS is it.

Four months after the local fertilizer plant exploded, killing 15 people, transforming the lives of everyone in town and damaging buildings for blocks around, including their high school, the West Trojans were preparing to take the field for their first home game since the blast.
The field, which served as a triage site after the April 17 blast in the community 100 miles south of Dallas, has been replanted and repainted in preparation for the season opener against the Little River-Academy Bumblebees. Few Texas traditions are as celebrated or mythologized as high school football under the lights, but Thursday night's kickoff held particular importance for the people of West, who have endured months of struggle and uncertainty.
"Everyone is just really excited that we can do normal things like go to football games, when just a couple of months ago we were hurting so badly," said high school English teacher Chelsey Lauer.
Many of the West's 2,800 residents were expected to cheer on their Trojans. The community held a morning pep rally that included a Czech-themed dance group, in a nod to West's immigrant roots more than a century ago.
The blast destroyed parts of three schools, including the high school. Immediately after the blast, hundreds of students had to be bused more than 10 miles away to another school district. Officials in West repeatedly said they wanted to get classes in August back in town, even if they didn't have permanent buildings.
School resumed this week in three 10-classroom buildings connected by wooden walkways. Lunch is in a portable cafeteria. More portable classrooms are still being trucked in and installed. A power outage Thursday in some classrooms meant students had to be moved out of hot classrooms into the gym, Lauer said.
"I think that we all know that this is an odd time, and we're trying to make the best of moments like that," she said.
The Trojans have been practicing on the track of where one wrecked school building once stood next to West Fertilizer. Both the school and the plant have been demolished.
"Not one complaint, though," said assistant superintendent Jan Hungate. "They were just happy to be here. We can learn a lot from the kids. They've been so resilient."
The signs of rebuilding are evident everywhere in town. A handful of new houses are almost ready for families to move in. Dozens of wrecked homes that had curved walls and spray-painted messages on the front are gone, leaving empty gravel lots waiting to be rebuilt.
The decision by federal officials to reverse their earlier denial of major emergency aid means millions of dollars are expected to flow into West, allowing town and school officials to rebuild water lines and buildings.
The finished product is years away. On Thursday, students and fans of the Trojans were focused on seeing their team back on the field and trying to beat Little River-Academy.
"It's big, not only because we're overcoming adversity," Hungate said. "It's school spirit, and that happens no matter what kind of building you're in."

My hot tub is powered by a 50amp 220v circuit. I can only assume it was wired that way because the manufacturer spec'd it that way, otherwise I would assume the original electrician would have used a 30amp breaker.
The Smarthome Insteon 220v relays are 30amp.
Thoughts on how I could insert something that allows me to control a 50amp 220v circuit using Insteon ?
Would the Elk Heavy Duty Relay Contactor in a Lockable Metal Structured Wiring Panel Enclosure
Item# 72800 be the way to go - and then I guess you wire it into a regular insteon appliancelinc?

I haven't written in quite a while, mostly because I haven't felt as though I have anything of importance to write about, and partly because I've been incredibly busy living life.
My children and I have settled into a "new normal". Single parenting has been a far better experience than I ever could have imagined, and I'm grateful for the experiences I've shared with my children over the past several months. Our farm is thriving, and it hasn't been nearly the struggle I feared it would be to keep up with everything. Quite the opposite!
As with all good things, it is time for our adventures on this farm to come to an end. We were notified just before Christmas that our landlord will be selling this house, and so the kids and I have spent months house-hunting. We've found ourselves the perfect little homestead, near a national park and a beach! The sale was finalised today, and we will move one month from now.
So, this is the end of the Trinity Acres blog. Thank you, dear readers, for sharing this journey with me. It was so very rewarding for me to keep record of my experiences as I learned the ins and outs of small-scale homesteading, and I always appreciated the kind and loving comments you left for me.
I haven't decided whether I will begin a blog when we move to our new place. I suppose if the interest is there, I'll keep on with writing about the trials and triumphs of this way of life. For now, this is goodbye, and thank you.

High Growth Industry Profile
(Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2006-07 Career Guide to Industries)
- Between 2004 and 2014, the Hospitality industry is expected to add 17 percent in wage and salary employment. Within the industry, wage and salary jobs in food services and drinking places are expected to increase by 16 percent between 2004-14, compared to 14 percent growth projected for wage and salary employment in all industries combined.
- Food services and drinking places provided many young people with their first jobs in 2004 - more than 21 percent of workers in these establishments were aged 16 to 19, about 5 times the proportion for all industries.
- The accommodation and food services sector makes up approximately 8 percent of all employment nationally (Bureau of Labor Statistics, Industry at a Glance). Two out of five workers in the industry are part-time - more than twice the proportion for all industries.
(Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2006-07 Career Guide to Industries)
Image and Outreach
- Like other service sectors, hospitality careers are often stereotyped as low-wage and entry-level with little opportunity for advancement. Consequently, qualified workers, especially youth, are unaware of the range of hospitality careers available.
Recruitment and Retention
- With the hospitality industry's growth rate increasing, the importance of finding good employees, especially youth workers, is a high priority. Historically, the hospitality industry has drawn heavily from the youth labor pool to meet their workforce needs, but in recent years the industry has been left with an insufficient pipeline of new workers to satisfy demand. Faced with a shrinking pipeline of workers, the hospitality industry is increasing its recruitment efforts towards youth and developing targeted strategies for previously untapped labor pools.
High turnover is a key challenge in the hospitality industry. The restaurant, hotel and lodging sectors have difficulty retaining skilled workers because of the negative image that the industry faces.
Training and Skill Needs
- Employers have difficulty finding workers who possess basic "soft skills," which are often a prerequisite for success in a customer service-oriented field. English proficiency is a key challenge because a large percentage of the hospitality workforce does not speak English as their primary language. Employers seek language training programs that allow workers to effectively perform their job, which includes providing quality customer service and understanding safety requirements.
- The hospitality industry as a whole lacks consistency and portability in training models and skill certifications. Many employers provide internal training programs for entry-level workers, which makes it difficult to monitor the content of training and the skills acquired.
(Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2006-07 Career Guide to Industries and 2006-07 Occupational Outlook Handbook)
- The diverse range of activities offered by this industry provides excellent job opportunities for people with varied skills and educational backgrounds. Jobs will be plentiful for first-time job seekers, senior citizens and those seeking part-time or alternative work schedules.
- Training for food service managers is available through industry-sponsored seminars; short-term, subject-specific certificate programs; or associate and bachelor's degree programs in management.
- A certification in hospitality management can be obtained through an 18-month training course or a four-year specialized bachelor's degree.
In June 2003, ETA announced the High Growth Job Training Initiative to engage businesses with local education providers and the local/regional workforce investment system to find solutions that address changing talent development needs in various industries.
In October 2005, the Community-Based Job Training Grants were announced to improve the role of community colleges in providing affordable, flexible and accessible education for the nation's workforce.
ETA is investing more than $260 million in 26 different regions across the United States in support of the WIRED (Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development) Initiative. Through WIRED, local leaders design and implement strategic approaches to regional economic development and job growth. WIRED focuses on catalyzing the creation of high skill, high wage opportunities for American workers through an integrated approach to economic and talent development.
These initiatives reinforce ETA's commitment to transform the workforce system by engaging business, education, state and local governments and other federal agencies with the goal of creating a skilled workforce to meet the dynamic needs of today's economy.
ETA has invested $5,979,531 in the hospitality industry. This includes four High Growth Job Training Initiative grants totaling $4,358,544 and one Community-Based Job Training Grants totaling $1,620,987. Leveraged resources from all of the grantees total $8,780,912.

When Scott Thompson decided to leave his post as President of PayPal to join Yahoo as CEO, it reportedly came as a shock to eBay CEO John Donahoe.
And it was a surprising move according to some industry observers.
After all, Thompson was ditching Ebay's fastest growing division to join a company that has been in decline.
It's a decision Thompson may regret for a long time.
Following the revelation that Thompson did not receive a computer science degree, as he had claimed on his resume, Yahoo found itself in the spotlight. One member of the Yahoo board of directors, who was on the search committee that hired Thompson, resigned, and angry shareholders were threatening to take legal action.
The situation came to a head yesterday when Thompson agreed to step down as CEO of Yahoo. According to one report, Yahoo will say that the resignation was part of a termination for "cause", allowing Yahoo to part ways with Thompson without paying him severance and delivering some $6.5m in restricted stock units. According to another report, Thompson agreed to resign after learning that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
While there's more to this story to be written, the big questions now are how interim CEO Ross Levinsohn will manage Yahoo's affairs. Levinsohn, who has been at Yahoo since 2010, is best known for his role as President of Fox Interactive Media. Some to suggest that his background could lead him to pursue a more advertising-focused direction for Yahoo as opposed to the commerce-centric direction Thompson seemed to be taking.
There are also questions as to whether Levinsohn could seek to reverse Thompson's aggressive patent strategy, which saw Yahoo sue Facebook in a lawsuit that has been a PR disaster for the once-great internet giant.
It will probably take a while for everything to play out. Levinsohn is Yahoo's interim CEO, and while he's obviously a viable candidate to take over the position permanently, don't be surprised if Yahoo's board of directors, which itself will be changing quite a bit, takes the appointment of Yahoo's next CEO slowly, if for no reason other than to give the appearance that it's being more careful about who it hires as the company's chief.
In the meantime, one thing is for sure: Yahoo may have solved the problem of a CEO with a bad resume, but it still hasn't solved the problems that Scott Thompson was hired to try to fix.

That compound found in commercially baked bread — yep, the one that's in yoga mats, too — is in the news again.
A report from the Environmental Working Group finds that the compound, azodicarbonamide, is found in close to 500 food products, from Pillsbury Dinner Rolls to Little Debbie products to Wonder Bread.
As you may recall, the sandwich chain Subway got a lot of attention a few weeks back when it announced its plans to remove this compound — which is used to improve dough and maintain bread texture — from its bread.
And as we reported, the kerfuffle came in response to an online petition posted by the creator of the Food Babe blog. The online petition pointed to a range of possible health concerns linked to the compound — everything from asthma to cancer.
But what is the evidence behind these claims?
Let's start with asthma and other respiratory issues. The concerns about breathing problems stem from factory workers who have been exposed to high levels of azodicarbonamide. But it turns out, outside of this occupational exposure, there's no evidence that there's any risk at all to consumers.
It's good to "remind yourself to be more skeptical," says Justin Pagano, who has written that he'd like to see more scientific inquiry and reasoning used in these what's-really-in-your-food campaigns.
He says there's a "generational zeitgeist" among his fellow millennials to "take back food" from the control of large companies and demand transparency.
And he agrees that it is important to be asking questions about how the food we eat may influence our health. Even if the questions are tough to answer.
Take, for instance, the tricky business of interpreting toxicity. John Coupland, a food science professor at Penn State, has blogged about the complexities involved.
He explains that small amounts of two compounds, semicarbazide and urethane, are formed as azodicarbonamide breaks down during the baking process. And it's possible that these compounds may pose a risk.
"The real question is whether these tiny concentrations in bread are toxicologically significant," Coupland writes.
Groups such as the Environmental Working Group argue that since it's not essential and it could pose health risks, azodicarbonamide should be removed from the food supply.
"This is an unnecessary chemical that's added to bread," says EWG scientist David Andrews. And there are viable alternatives, such as ascorbic acid, which is a form of vitamin C.
But the FDA considers small amounts of azodicarbonamide to be safe. The agency long ago set an allowable level of 45 parts per million in dough.
And food scientist Kantha Shelke of Corvus Blue, who works as an independent consultant to the food industry, says this is reasonable. After all, it's the dose that makes the poison. And "45 parts per million is very, very, very small," she says.
But in an era when social media can whip up a frenzy of concern, food companies are becoming quick to respond to get ahead of bad publicity — regardless of the science.
"No [food company or chain] wants to be associated with anything that can be remotely considered harmful," Shelke says.
Which may explain why, in the wake of Subway's announcement, several more manufacturers have also decided to drop azodicarbonamide from their products.
For instance, bread maker Nature's Own noted that it has already phased out the compound from its bread products.
And intuitively, it just feels better to know that a compound used to make yoga mats is being removed from breads.
But maybe I'm just being closed-minded here.
For a different perspective, I reached out to bakery industry consultant Theresa Cogswell. She pointed out that "there are many things used in industrial uses" that cross over into food use as well.
"And the assumption that it's bad for you," she says, is just not accurate.
Take, for instance, sheet rock, or gypsum. It contains calcium sulfate, which is also used as a food additive. In fact, it's used to make tofu.
Hmmm. A vegan favorite contains the same compound that's used to make drywall. Who knew?
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
A few weeks back, the sandwich chain Subway got a lot of attention when it announced its plans to remove a food additive from its bread. The announcement was, in part, a response to an online petition that pointed out this same additive was used in, of all things, the manufacture of yoga mats. The story went viral and since then, as NPR's Allison Aubrey reports, it just won't go away.
ALLISON AUBREY, BYLINE: So the food additive under the spotlight is called azodicarbonamide. It's found in hundreds of baked goods, from Pillsbury Dinner Rolls to Wonder Bread. Commercial bakers love it because it helps keep bread a nice, spongy texture; just as it keeps your yoga mat cushiony. And according to the creator of the blog Food Babe, the yoga mat association is just one concern. Her online petition pointed to links to respiratory problems, asthma, possibly even cancer. And given this list, who wouldn't be concerned?
Twenty-something Justin Pagano, who came across the petition just as the news of it was going viral, says there was definitely a knee-jerk reaction.
JUSTIN PAGANO: Yes, yes, I'll sign your petition. Sign me up right away. This just sounds so terrible.
AUBREY: But Justin says he was skeptical. If this food additive was so bad, he wanted to see the evidence. As a science major in college, he knew his way around scholarly publications. So he decided to do some digging.
PAGANO: I said, you know, do I know anything about this compound? Have I read about it before? And I just started picking it apart.
AUBREY: And this is what he found: Despite the fact that azodicarbonamide is not approved for use in European countries, there are no studies showing it causes asthma in people who eat bread made with it. The reports about breathing problems came from factory workers who have breathed in high levels of the compound.
He also looked for evidence that azodicarbonamide, or its breakdown products, relate to cancer. He says he found a few studies. Mice were exposed to high doses, nothing close to the tiny exposures people get from bread. Now, Justin has no connection to the bread industry. He just considers himself a kind of concerned citizen scientist. And his conclusion?
PAGANO: It's really hard to say, or conclude, that this is bad for you.
AUBREY: And the Food and Drug Administration seems to agree. They reviewed the evidence on this compound years ago, and decided that small amounts in bread were fine. They set a limit of 45 parts per million, and food scientist Kantha Shelke says this makes sense.
KANTHA SHELKE: Forty-five parts per million is very, very, very small. So azodicarbonamide should not be that scary.
AUBREY: But doesn't it just feel wrong that an ingredient found in our bread is also used to make our yoga mats and other, plastic stuff? That's what set off so many headlines. But food scientists say, wait a minute. Think about Sheetrock or drywall. It contains calcium sulfate, or gypsum, which is also used as a food additive. In fact, it's used to make tofu.
So ingredients do cross over, and that doesn't mean they're dangerous. But Kantha Shelke says in an era when social media can whip up a frenzy of concern, regardless of the science, food companies are becoming quick to act.
SHELKE: Nobody wants to be associated with anything that can be remotely considered harmful.
AUBREY: And this explains why: In the wake of Subway's announcement to yank the compound from its bread, other manufacturers have done the same. David Andrews, a scientist with the Environmental Working Group, argues it's the right move.
DAVID ANDREWS: Really, this is an unnecessary chemical that's added to bread.
AUBREY: And as bread manufacturers in Europe already know, there are viable alternatives. One option is ascorbic acid, a form of vitamin C.

LG pitches £7k 55in OLED TV, again
Thin telly requires fat wallet
LG showed off its 55in OLED TV at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, and despite demo'ing the device again this week, this time over here, it's still vague about the release date.
While it will start appearing in showrooms in July, just in time for Olympics footage, and LG will happily take your order, the best delivery date it can offer is sometime before Christmas.
LG didn't talk about pricing, but past comments from the company have suggested it'll be in the region of €9000 (£7200) so it's not like World+Dog will be beating a path to its door.
The near bezel-less telly is a mere 4mm thick - all the bits that do the actual work and all the ports are in a separate unit at the base of the stand - and each pixel's hue is formed from four colours rather than the customary three. In addition to red, green and blue, the OLED TV has a white sub-pixel.
LG says the set has an "infinite" contrast ratio.
Samsung also unwrapped a 55in OLED TV at CES and, likewise, recently showed it off in Europe. It is expected to release the set sometime in the second half of the year for a very similar price. ®

The Brule is #1 in my book for a reason: the Bois Brule River in Northern Wisconsin has everything. Quiet-water, riffles, beautiful wild scenery, rapids, whitewater, and world class fishing. Here is a map of the major sections.
There are three major "sections" of the Bois Brule River. The first section from County Road S to Highway 2 is a very popular day trip with canoe outfitters in the area to assist you with rentals and shuttle rides. It is an easier section with mostly quiet water and a few riffles and rapids. Make sure before doing any of these sections to call for water levels: 715-372-4866. The great thing about this river is thanks to the many wetlands in the area the water level is generally always adequate for paddling.
(Did you know that this river is also called the River of Presidents? 5 US Presidents have stayed and fished on the Bois Brule: Grant, Hoover, Eisenhower, Cleveland and Coolidge)
The second section starts at Highway 2 and ends at Highway 13. The beginning of this section is picturesque and relatively calm, after Pine Tree Landing there are a few challenging rapids and two famous ledges, Lenroot and May's.
About half way through this stretch is the Copper Range Campground and Landing. A great place to camp and fish or just have a picnic lunch. ( There are great fishing spots along this river so be on the lookout after every turn for fishermen and give them plenty of room)
The final section is from Highway 13 to Lake Superior. This section has easy rapids but slows down and widens the closer you get to Lake Superior. It was very ominous the last time we did this section. There was a storm rolling across Lake Superior with black clouds fast approaching. We paddled hard and pulled out in time to watch the storm from our car. This stretch is not as popular as the others, but to paddle out directly into Lake Superior is experience onto its own.
Please share your comments with us about the Bois Brule River, I'm sure many out there have paddled it enough to know every twist and turn.

Law Office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC Announces Investigation of Metals USA Holdings Corporation
Feb 06, 2013, 10:00 EST
BALA CYNWYD, Pa., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Metals USA Holdings Corp. ("Metals USA" or the "Company") (NYSE- MUSA-News) relating to the proposed acquisition by Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. ("Reliance").
Under the terms of the transaction, Metals USA shareholders will receive only $20.65 in cash for each share of Metals USA stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Metals USA for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process to Reliance. The focus of the investigation is whether Metals USA's Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to conduct an adequate and fair sales process prior to agreeing to this proposed transaction. The transaction may undervalue Metals USA as an analyst has set a price target of $21.00 per share for Metals USA stock.
If you own shares of Metals USA stock and wish to discuss the legal ramifications of the proposed transaction, or have any questions, you may e-mail or call the law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC who will, without obligation or cost to you, attempt to answer your questions.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence once used her bow and arrow from The Hunger Games in a bid to scare off strangers inside her mansion.
The 22 year old, who plays skilled adventurer Katniss Everdeen in the movies, had just wrapped up a practise session with her trainer when she drove into her garage and heard voices coming from her house.
Quick-thinking Lawrence picked up her archery set to defend herself from the would-be burglars, but she later discovered they were only a group of construction workers making repairs to her property.
She tells Vanity Fair magazine, "I pulled into my garage and I heard men in my house. And I was like, 'I'm not letting them take my stuff.' I had just gotten back from training, so I had the bow and arrows in the back of my car.
"I went to my car and I put this quiver on me and I had my bow and I loaded it and I'm walking up the stairs. And I look, and my patio doors were open, and there were guys working right there, and I was like, 'Heyyy, how you doin'?'"
And the actress admits her friends were disappointed by the dramatic story's ending: "They were like, 'We've got to stage someone to break into your house and you can kill them!'"

The Baltimore Ravens don't want to have anything to do with the Vince Lombardi Trophy — unless they earn the right to hoist it after the Super Bowl.
NEW ORLEANS — The Baltimore Ravens don't want to have anything to do with the Vince Lombardi Trophy — unless they earn the right to hoist it after the Super Bowl.
Asked Wednesday whether he's considered how great it would be to grasp the trophy after Sunday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers, Ravens coach John Harbaugh scoffed at the suggestion.
"I have given no thought to that," he said. "You don't earn the right to even think about that until you've won the football game and become the one true champion. We're not the one true champion at this point. We're going to fight like crazy to earn that award."
Last week, CBS brought a faux Lombardi Trophy to the Ravens' training facility and asked each player to pose with the hardware.
Linebacker Ray Lewis nixed the idea.
"I told my team, don't ever take pictures with nothing that's not yours, nothing that you haven't earned," Lewis said. "When we hold that Lombardi, whoever holds that Lombardi next Sunday, you've earned it when you touch it. And don't fool yourself and try to trick yourself (by saying), 'This feels great.' Don't go through that. I don't believe in jinxes and all that, I just believe in don't set yourself up for something. Just really work for it."
Lewis grasped the coveted trophy in 2001, after the Ravens beat the New York Giants 34-7 for their only Super Bowl win. That trophy is prominently displayed at the entrance to the team's training complex.
Running back Ray Rice, who is playing in his first Super Bowl, has no desire to hold the trophy until the Ravens earn it.
"We have to work to get that," he said. "I don't want to see the Super Bowl trophy unless it's rightfully ours."
Steve Gleason sure knows how to get people's attention.
The former special teams player — a hero in New Orleans since he blocked a punt for a touchdown in the Saints' first home game after Hurricane Katrina — was accompanied by a brass band and some famous friends as he made the rounds at the Super Bowl media center Wednesday to raise awareness for The Team Gleason House for Innovative Living. The house, located near New Orleans' BioDistrict, uses cutting-edge technology to help people with incurable neuro-muscular disorders like ALS or MS live more independently.
Gleason was diagnosed in January 2011 with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which causes gradual paralysis.
"This disease, for far too long, has been left underfunded and ignored," said former Saints linebacker Scott Fujita, who has remained good friends with Gleason. "That is not acceptable. That's just not acceptable. ... That is the challenge, to get this on people's radar."
Gleason's appearance Wednesday was a start. Fujita, New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu and political pundits James Carville and Mary Matalin joined Gleason to celebrate Chase Bank's $350,000 grant to Team Gleason House. A new public service announcement featuring Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Ray Lewis, Clay Matthews and Herm Edwards also was unveiled.
Using an eye-controlled computer, Gleason gave a speech and answered questions.
"A terminal disease can really mess with your mind. Honestly, it makes you want to run away to the moon," Gleason said. "I did not want to fade away quietly."
While several talented linebackers could be a big focus in the Super Bowl, the last line of defense for each team is filled with big-play stars.
"All four safeties in the scheme are four of the premier safeties in football," Harbaugh said.
For Baltimore, it's free safety Ed Reed and strong safety Bernard Pollard. San Francisco's side features Dashon Goldson and Donte Whitner. It's a tossup which team has more talent. Raven Jacoby Jones is impressed by all of them.
"Ed, of course, is the greatest and Bernard Pollard," he said. "Look at their side, No. 38 (Goldson), he actually played corner in college. He's got good ball skills.
"And 31 (Whitner), him and Pollard are just alike, smash-mouth."
Guess who burned Baltimore cornerback Cary Williams for his first NFL touchdown? That would be Randy Moss, the guy who will be on the other side of the ball again Sunday. Williams was playing for Tennessee in October 2009 when Moss, then with New England, scored on a 40-yard flea flicker.
So, Williams isn't about to question whether Moss still has it at age 35.
"He's a guy who can get over top the defense at any moment," Williams said.
Ravens linebacker and special teams standout Brendon Ayanbadejo learned a valuable lesson when he played in the Super Bowl with Chicago after the 2006 season.
"My last Super Bowl experience was in Miami, and we were kind of happy just to be there," he recalled.
It did not end well: Indianapolis 29, Bears 17.
"If you want to go to a Super Bowl and you want to enjoy it, wait until you're not playing," Ayanbadejo said. "That's the mentality of this team."
Associated Press Writers Janie McCauley and Nancy Armour contributed to this report.

Suffolk Theatre Department alumnus Nael Nacer, CAS '07, is making news once again, this time for his outstanding performance in New Repertory Theatre's production of "The Kite Runner."
The Boston Globe – which calls the show "a compassionate, deeply moving, event-packed journey across eras, cultures, national boundaries, and the emotional terrain of tumultuous lives" – praises Nacer's portrayal of Amir:
For Nael Nacer, a subtle young actor who has been steadily building a reputation since his eye-opening turn two seasons ago in Annie Baker's "The Aliens'' at Company One, "Kite Runner'' represents the kind of showcase his talents deserve.
Nacer responds with a bravura performance, delivering a vividly etched characterization of a writer named Amir, who leaves Afghanistan in his teens but remains haunted by youthful acts of cowardice and callousness for which, three decades later, he gets a chance to partly atone.
Nacer said that his experiences in the University's Theatre Department played a vital part in his decision to pursue a career on stage.
"I learned so much from being able to act in as many shows as I could possibly fit into a school year," he said. "It was an invaluable experience and in some ways a working education. I was studying theatre and learning how to become an actor at the same time."
Suffolk's Theatre Department prepares students for the rigors of a professional career in performance, technical theater, stage management, dramaturgy, and other areas. Many classes are taught by working professionals, and auditions for faculty-directed productions are designed to groom students for professional auditions.

Ja Rule admits to tax evasion
NEWARK, N.J. — Rapper and actor Ja Rule admitted Tuesday that he failed to pay taxes on more than $3 million in income, and he faces up to three years in prison.
The platinum-selling rapper, whose given name is Jeffrey Atkins, earned the money between 2004 and 2006 while he lived in Saddle River, an upscale community in northern New Jersey.
If the plea conditions are met, the government will dismiss two counts against him for unpaid taxes on about $1 million he earned in 2007 and 2008.
Atkins is scheduled to be sentenced June 13 on the three tax evasion charges. He faces up to one year in prison and $100,000 in fines on each count.
Lindsay Lohan's dad arrested in West Hollywood
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Authorities in Los Angeles say Lindsay Lohan's father has been arrested over allegations he held his girlfriend against her will and prevented her from calling 911.
Sheriff's investigators say deputies were dispatched on a domestic violence call at 9 p.m. Monday to Michael Lohan's apartment.
A news release says the 51-year-old was booked for investigation of preventing a report of victimization, false imprisonment and infliction of corporal injury on a cohabitant, all felonies. Bail is set at $200,000.
Charlie Sheen adds more dates to his live tour
LOS ANGELES — Charlie Sheen's "Violent Torpedo of Truth" is growing.
Sheen is adding a dozen more dates to his live show, which is now set to stretch into Canada and continue through May 3.
The outspoken actor announced his first two live performances last week on his Twitter account. Those shows in Detroit and Chicago sold out quickly.
Earlier this week, Sheen added an additional five dates. He tacked on a dozen more late Thursday, including stops in Toronto, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia.
Mel Gibson booked and released on battery charge
LOS ANGELES — California authorities say Mel Gibson was booked and released on a misdemeanor battery charge as part of the criminal case involving his former girlfriend.
Jail records show the actor-director turned himself in Wednesday to the El Segundo Police Department.
The 55-year-old Oscar winner was accused of striking his then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva during a January 2010 fight, but his no contest plea on Friday did not include an admission of guilt.

Canada's 150 Year celebrations have sparked a renewed interest in the life and times of Canadian Confederation. Yet the classic history books written by the giants in the field, University of Toronto's Donald Creighton and Dalhousie University's Peter B. Waite, depict what was essentially a man's world. That is, one populated by Fathers of Confederation dominated by fierce whiskey-fueled parliamentary debates and backroom deals, hatched in smoke-filled parlours.
Writing women into the story of Confederation is not without its challenges. One of the first to attempt do so was Toronto historian Christopher Moore, starting 20 years ago with 1867: How the Fathers Made a Deal and more recently in his 2015 sequel, Three Weeks in Quebec City: The Meeting that Made Canada. He was also the first to make use of a neglected diary from the period: the personal journal of Mercy Anne Coles, the daughter of George Coles, Prince Edward Island delegate to the critically-important Quebec Conference.
Anne McDonald's Miss Confederation builds upon — and greatly expands on — Moore's insights gleaned from Miss Coles' most entertaining diary. While the book reads a great deal — perhaps too much — into Mercy's candid social notes, it is well-written and does help us to see these pivotal events through a younger woman's eyes.
Miss Confederation
Bringing Mercy Coles' Confederation diary to a wider audience is a feat worth celebrating and Anne McDonald, a P.E.I.-born, Regina-based writer and playwright, brings a novelist's flair to the whole project. She beckons readers with an invitation to "pour yourselves a bumper or two (or more) of champagne, have your booster for diphtheria, and come along on the Confederation ride."
McDonald successfully mines the diary to flesh out much more of the social context, providing a more fully evolved woman's perspective. What emerges is a much deeper understanding of the events, and the men, who brokered the federal union of 1867, bringing the initial partners, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, into Confederation.
The diary is a treasure trove of Victorian culture, domestic gossip and subtle social commentary. It covers the period from Oct. 5, 1864 when Mercy and her parents leave Charlottetown for Quebec City, travelling across Canada then back through the United States, returning to the Island in mid-November 1864. Much of the fascination centres on the Quebec Conference held Oct. 10-26, and particularly the balls, banquets, parties and outings designed to court both the women and the Maritime delegates.
The late summer and fall of 1864 was a heady time for a "well-brought-up Island girl" like Mercy Coles. She was the daughter of a veteran P.E.I. politician and, at 26 years old, feeling some pressure to find a match. Constrained by the courtship rituals of the 1860s, her real feelings tend to be hidden behind the spoken lines.
On a long train ride to the Quebec Conference, Mercy caught the eye of Samuel Leonard Tilley, the premier of New Brunswick, a 46-year-old druggist and widower of two years with seven children. On the ride, Tilley showed her the beauty of the White Mountains at night, while being "the only beau of the party with 5 single ladies."
Her hopes soared when Tilley escorted her around at a Quebec City ball, only to be dashed when she fell ill shortly thereafter with what was diagnosed as diphtheria. During the final weeks of the conference, "another woman," in the author's words, "had taken, even demanded, his attention."
Mercy provides vivid and intriguing pen sketches of the leading men of Confederation. John A. Macdonald of Kingston appears as a charming fellow with an irresistible magnetic personality. She described the encounter this way: "I went to dinner in the evening. John A. sat along-side of me. What an old Humbug he is. He brought me my dessert into the Drawing Room. The Conundrum."
She was a sharp-eyed observer of men. We learn that Montrealer Thomas D'Arcy McGee lived up to his reputation by getting drunk and publicly embarrassing Mercy at one of the signature official events. In another passage, Nova Scotia's Dr. Charles Tupper bustles in with his medical bag when she falls ill and is confined to bed.
A note of sadness and disappointment hangs over Mercy Coles's diary of Confederation times. Much like a well-to-do woman in an English romance novel, we see how constrained and limited she was in her public persona, saving her innermost feelings for a private diary.
As the daughter of a prominent P.E.I. public figure, she was shepherded along to Quebec as part of the courtship ritual. She, like her contemporaries, referred to the other ladies as "Miss" this or "Miss" that. At the height of the festivities, she fell deathly ill and lost out to other rivals for the attentions of the men.
Two of her romantic interests, John A. Macdonald and Leonard Tilley, both married in 1867, three years after meeting Mercy at the Quebec Conference. Left behind, she never did marry and lived her entire life on the Island, passing away in Charlottetown at age 83 in 1921.
McDonald's Miss Confederation appears, at first glance, to be a breezy popular history of Confederation times. It is, in fact, an impeccably researched and well-documented book. The author sets the stage well for presenting Mercy Coles's diary and artfully utilizes many excerpts woven together with a pleasant, inviting and engaging narrative.
Our Canada at 150 celebratory year has produced a bumper crop of cultural markers, including some of dubious merit, like the CBC-TV series
McDonald's finely crafted and nuanced history book rises above the crescendo of flag-waving nationalism. It adds a completely new dimension to our nation-making experience — a unique woman's perspective which will stand the test of time.
