Food additives have many very important technical functions in foods. Food additives contribute to the overall quality, safety, nutritive value, appeal, convenience, and economy of foods (IFT, 2010; PDF Download). Food and color additives and GRAS substances have been the subjects of research and development, public policy, and regulatory activity as well as public interest for decades.
IFT has addressed food additive topics in numerous ways: through workshops, publications, and expression of scientific viewpoints in numerous forums. IFT is also actively engaged in deliberations on food additives in the scientific and policy arenas (e.g., Codex Committee on Food Additives).
European Food Safety Authority Reaffirms BHA Safety & Current ADI
The Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) (E 320) does not raise concern with respect to genotoxicity and reaffirmed the safety of the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 0.5 mg/kg bw/day. BHA is a synthetic antioxidant authorized in the EU as a food additive. The European Commission requested the BHA reevaluation. BHA has been evaluated several times--the latest was in 1989 by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives and another that same year by the EU Scientific Committee for Food (SCF). Both Committees established an ADI of 0.5 mg/kg bw/day, with SCF's being classified as temporary.
FDA's food ingredient approval process: Safety assurance based on scientific assessment (Rulis and Levitt, 2008)
Alan Rulis and Joseph Levitt, draw upon their first-hand experience within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to review in this 12-page article the details of the Agency's rigorous science-based process for evaluating the safety of new food additives. They address the law, determination of estimated daily intake and acceptable daily intake, roles of toxicological and other specific studies, and post-approval activities. They review the safety evaluations of the fat substitute olestra and sweetener sucralose as case studies, and describe how substances whose use is generally recognized as safe are addressed.

The only thing I could think of to take my mind off of Sheila, and the crash, was asking my brother about Guj Sarwar, the tiger on the back of the great and mighty lizard, Samarkand. When I was a boy, I didn't understand why it was the only other thing I could think about, like something was on the tip of my tongue.
And, Jiri knew everything there was to know about the wastes of the far west, the lizards, and the tigers. He was fifteen years old. Next year, he'd be driving cattle up the highway to Io Town in a flyer all by himself. I was only ten. I didn't even have my own computer terminal yet. I had to share his when he wasn't using it. Everything I knew about the wastes had been from the computer, and from Jiri.
"On the wastes, Simsa," said my brother, "you can't walk on the ground. The sand is all quicksand. It sucks you up and swallows you. You have to ride on the back of giant lizards as big as walking mountains. There're only twenty-five lizards. They have names."

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius pledged swift action on the burgeoning U.S. health-care crisis during her Health and Human Services confirmation hearing Tuesday, arguing that "action is not a choice. It is a necessity."
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius says action to repair the health care system is "not a choice. It is a necessity."
"We face a health system that burdens families, businesses, and government budgets with sky-rocketing costs," she told members of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.
Rising health costs "represent the greatest threat to our long-term economic stability ... We can't fix the economy of America without fixing the health-care system," Sebelius said.
Her testimony came on the same day Sebelius revealed that she recently paid nearly $8,000 in back taxes and interest.
In a letter released Tuesday by the Senate Finance committee and the Department of Health and Human Services, Sebelius said she had errors in her 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax returns.
The errors were found by an accountant that she and her husband hired after she was nominated, she said.
"That evaluation revealed unintentional errors, which we immediately corrected by filing amended returns," Sebelius said in the letter.
Sebelius said she did not have documentation for three charitable donations she and her husband made and deducted, and that she had "insufficient documentation" for some business expenses.
She also said she and her husband sold their home for an amount less than their outstanding mortgage balance and mistakenly continued to deduct the interest. The couple also treated a home equity loan the same way.
The couple have now paid $7,040 in taxes and $878 in interest, she said.
The chairman of that committee, Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, dismissed the problems, calling them "minor, unintentional errors that were immediately corrected through amended returns."
The committee's top Republican, Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, said he was reserving judgment for now.
Sebelius' hearing was chaired by Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, who has made few public appearances since being diagnosed last year with malignant glioma, an often-lethal type of brain tumor.
"Over the past 10 months, I've seen our health-care system up close. I've benefited from the best of medicine," Kennedy said. "But we have too many uninsured Americans. We have sickness care and not health care. We have too much bureaucracy."
If confirmed by the Senate, Sebelius will take office as the Obama administration begins promoting an aggressive agenda that commits $634 billion to overhauling the health-care system over the next 10 years.
Preventive care and universal coverage will be key to reducing costs in the long term, she said. Pursuing both would cut the significant costs tied to emergency room care and chronic disease, she said.
Echoing the president, Sebelius said that she doesn't support a one-size-fits-all, government-run health-care system. She indicated, however, that she would support "a public option, side by side with private insurers in a health insurance exchange."
Among other things, Sebelius also said she believes the Food and Drug Administration should be given the authority to regulate tobacco. Smoking, she noted, is "probably the most expensive cause of illnesses that land people in the hospital."
Sebelius added that congressional involvement will be critical to the success of any major revamping of the health-care system. She cited lessons learned from the Clinton administration's failed 1993-94 health-care initiative, which was criticized for being formulated with too little input from Congress and elsewhere.
Obama has emphasized repeatedly the need for congressional outreach in the health-care debate. He invited senators and representatives to a recent White House summit and tasked several governors with conducting similar state-level meetings.
Several leading Republicans are nevertheless expressing concern that the Democrats ultimately will try to pass major health-care legislation without seriously consulting the GOP minority.
Specifically, Republicans have cited a controversial procedure called budget reconciliation, which would allow the Democrats to pass a major overhaul of health care without the threat of a Republican-led filibuster.
Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyoming, warned Sebelius that if a health-care "reconciliation winds up in the budget bill, it'll be like a declaration of war. ... I hope that that wedge doesn't get thrown in there."
Other Republicans, however, strongly defended the Kansas governor. Former Senate GOP leader Bob Dole, also from Kansas, testified on Sebelius' behalf, arguing that her record had proven her ability to work in a bipartisan manner.
"Sebelius' strength is that she understands health care (and is) willing and able ... to bring parties together in very critical areas," he said.
Sebelius, 60, is the daughter of former Ohio Gov. John Gilligan, who led that state from 1971 to 1975. A two-term Democratic governor in a Republican-leaning state, she previously served as a state insurance commissioner and oversaw Kansas' Medicaid program. She has been credited with boosting health-care assistance for the poor during her tenure.
A number of leading social conservatives have criticized Sebelius for her record on abortion, citing, among other things, her veto as governor of legislation that would have tightened abortion regulations in Kansas.
In vetoing the measure last April, Sebelius wrote that the bill was problematic because it included no exceptions for pregnancies that endanger a woman's life and it allowed individuals to seek court orders preventing a woman from obtaining an abortion, even if the procedure was necessary to save her life.
Catholic League President Bill Donohue recently called Sebelius an "enemy of the unborn." He said her nomination is particularly disturbing because the health and human services secretary is one of the few members of the administration who can directly affect abortion policy.
"Sebelius' support for abortion is so far off the charts that she has been publicly criticized by the last three archbishops of Kansas City," Donohue said in a written statement.
The liberal group Catholics United has come to Sebelius' defense, saying the Kansas governor has taken several steps to lower the abortion rate in her state. The group also has posted excerpts of a 2006 speech in which Sebelius said she opposed abortion.
"My Catholic faith teaches me that all life is sacred, and personally I believe abortion is wrong," she said then. "However, I disagree with the suggestion that criminalizing women and their doctors is an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the number of abortions in our nation."
Another lightning rod for Sebelius is the attendance by Dr. George Tiller and his staff at a 2007 reception she held at the governor's mansion in Topeka.
The doctor, who specializes in late-term abortions and once received the National Abortion Federation's highest honor, bought the right to attend the reception in a charity auction held for the Greater Kansas City Women's Political Caucus, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal.
Tiller is facing charges relating to his practice. Last month, a district judge denied a motion to dismiss the case, meaning Tiller will go to trial on 19 misdemeanor counts relating to how he procured second opinions for late-term abortions, according to The Wichita Eagle.
Former Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota, Obama's first choice for secretary of health and human services, withdrew on February 3 after controversy erupted over his tax records and over his work in a field that some consider lobbying.
CNN's Dana Bash contributed to this report.

Used to really enjoy the morels here in Kentucky until last year I got very sick after eating quite a lot of them. So this year I tried eating just a few bites to be safe, got the same results. Havn't quite figured out why, but I quess "change really is the only constant".

Medal of Honor is a first-person shooter from the makers of Battlefield Bad Company 2 that redefines the genre. For shooter fans and modern military enthusiasts, Medal of Honor is a way to experience today's authentic warfare, because unlike anywhere else in the world of video games, Medal of Honor can deliver intense modern warfare gameplay inspired by the actions of the elite Tier 1 Operators currently active in the military. Features include access to Tier 1 Ops and Army Ranger storylines, realistic weaponry and large-scale online multiplayer.
Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are selected when it is crucial that a mission not fail. These are the Tier 1 Operators. There are over 2 million active soldiers. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a level above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war, experts in the application of controlled violence. The new Medal of Honor game is inspired by and developed with actual Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to fight a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile conditions of present day Afghanistan.
This is a new war. There is a new warrior. He is Tier 1.
Developed by the world-class team at DICE (makers of Battlefield Bad Company 2) the fast-paced multiplayer combat packed into Medal of Honor delivers the perfect mix of tactical warfare and all-out action. 2-24 players are supported in online modes.

For Archiving
Currently, content being uploaded for archival storage is in a specific organization (specified here: Share_Drive_Protocols).
Once this content is placed into the /srv/deposits/content/ directory on libcontent (a Linux server), we :
- verify that it copied correctly across the network,
- check the content with quality control verification scripts (such as File:TestIncoming.txt)
- upload the collection information file content into the database to provide access to the online collection via a web-side php script, and
- then we archive it.
Archiving it means that we weed out extraneous files, re-order content (via copy) according to our storage organization (specified here: Organization_of_completed_content_for_long-term_storage), version the metadata, xml, or text files (linking into the manifest only the version; the updated one overwrites the unversioned copy in the directory) and either create a LOCKSS manifest for this content or alter existing ones to include this content.
We have different versions of the archiving script (Relocating) for different materials (on libcontent). Most content is archived using the relocating script in /srv/storing/; there's another for ETDs in the bornDigital subdirectory, one for MODS in the MODS subdirectory, one for EADs in the eads subdirectory, one for tags and transcriptions in the crowdsource subdirectory, and so forth. In each, by uncommenting out the $test = 1; line, you can run this as a test, which will not change any existing manifests or copy content. Instead, it will write all the manifest changes and creations into one huge file called RelocateManifests, and it will still write a list of what files it will copy where to the "moveme" file.
After running this script for real, run "checkem" which goes through the moveme file, does md5 comparison on the old file and the new one -- if they're the same, it will delete the old on in the deposits directory. If they're not the same, it will output an error and leave the original untouched.
Here's the checkem script: File:Checkem.txt
We also have verification scripts, such as "checkArchive" which verifies that everything in each manifest is in the archive, and everything I intended to link into the manifest is indeed linked there properly.
When we digitize multiple tiny collections, we may combine the spreadsheets, for simplicity. Then, however, they must be split out by collection for archiving: File:SplitExcel.txt

iPhone users sure do watch a lot of video compared to their Android-using counterparts—at least according to video analytics firm Ooyala. In a new report (PDF) published Monday, Ooyala says a full two-thirds—67 percent—of its Web video time in 2012 was consumed by iPhone users, while a third is consumed by Android devices.
The report will undoubtedly feed Apple's party line that iOS users just love to use their devices that much more than Android users. It's important to remember, though, that Ooyala is only measuring video analytics for the companies it offers analytics for—it's possible that the companies using Ooyala target iPhone users more than Android users in their content. Still, as AllThingsD pointed out, videos going through Ooyala are viewed by ~200 million unique users worldwide. That's no small number, targeting or not.
The video-watching numbers are practically a straight reversal of Android's market share numbers when compared to iOS. Ooyala's report cites IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, which put iOS's 2012 market share at a mere 19 percent while Android's sat at 68 percent. Fortune offers several possible explanations for why the two charts seem so skewed, ranging from the possibility that IDC's numbers are just plain wrong to the theory that "Apple users are different from Android users."
Indeed, iPhone users are often "different" from Android users when it comes to software and aesthetic preferences, though it doesn't seem like those differences would translate to something as universal as watching videos on the Internet. What do you think of Ooyala's report and why iPhone users might be making a better showing in the video-watching department?

To the editor:
As a pharmacist who served the community and the surrounding areas as the co-owner of Sunshine Drugs for over 30 years, I felt I needed to perhaps clarify a situation that has recently come to my attention.
It is my understanding that a business will soon be opened under the name of Sunshine Drugs.
Although I wish the owners of this new business well in the endeavor, Iee^also feel that Iee^need to make it clear to everyone that Iee^m in no way assoiciated with, nor in any way a part of, this business.

I need your help.....
I need your help in spreading the word on the global swim event occurring on February 14, 2013. This Valentine's Day Swim (also known as Swim for your Heart") brings an awareness of heart disease and prevention. It's easy to participate! Go for a swim on February 14 and send a donation to YOUR favorite heart charity. This years' event is in memory of Norway's Champion Swimmer Alexander Dale Oen who died at the age of 26 from a heart attack. He was unaware that he had heart disease. In my home state of Maine, Maine Medical Center's Maine Heart Center will be going to poolside at several locations to offer free blood pressures, free cholesterol test and provide heart healthy information to all swimmers. Also, many area businesses are encouraging employees to participate in this event. As of today, there are swimmers from 30 countries who will be participating in this global event. It's not to late to plan an event in your hometown..invite your local medical community to pool side and ask them to provide heart healthy information to swimmers. Please visit the website and view event planning. http://swimforyourheartfeb14.com Thank you.

For upside-down sloths, what goes down can't come up
A sloth can't vomit. It has a one-way throat, handy for eating while dangling upside down by the toes. But the animal has to be careful not to poison itself by nibbling too many toxic leaves that it can't easily purge.
There are upsides and downsides to evolving a body that can hang toes-up for some four to six hours a day, as the three-fingered sloth does, says sloth biologist Rebecca Cliffe of the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica near Limón.
She calls her sloths "three-fingered" instead of the more common "three-toed" because all sloths, even so-called two-toed species, actually have three toes on their hind legs. It's the digits of the front limbs, the fingers, that number either two or three.
One reason both two- and three-fingered sloths have ended up up-ended is that it helps them carry out their fastidious grooming for several hours a day. "They like to scratch with both hands," Cliffe says.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of adding motivational interviewing to
antidepressant treatment for major depressive disorder in Hispanic adults.
Depression is a serious illness that affects a person's mood, thoughts, and physical
well-being. There are multiple types of depressive disorders, with major depressive
disorder (MDD) being one of the most common. The following symptoms may be signs of MDD:
persistent feelings of anxiety, guilt, or hopelessness; irregular sleep and appetite
patterns; lethargy; disinterest in previously enjoyed activities; excessive irritability and
restlessness; suicidal thoughts; and inability to concentrate. Despite the widespread use of
drug treatment for MDD in the United States, it continues to be underutilized in the
Hispanic population. The retention rate in antidepressant therapy (ADT) among the Hispanic
population is half that of the Caucasian population. It is believed that cultural factors
and ambivalence toward seeking treatment interfere with ADT retention in Hispanic adults.
Motivational antidepressant therapy (MADT) involves the use of motivational interviewing
(MI) to discuss treatment with patients. This study will compare the effectiveness of
culturally-specific MADT versus standard antidepressant therapy (SADT) in treating Hispanic
adults with MDD.
Participants in this single-blind study will be randomly assigned to receive either MADT or
SADT. A psychiatrist will conduct all medication visits and will recommend an initial
antidepressant for each participant. Depending on treatment assignment, psychiatrists will
use either the MADT or SADT approach in the medication visits. During the visits,
participants will complete questionnaires, undergo vital sign measurements, and receive
medication. Medication visits will occur weekly during the first two weeks, every 2 weeks
for the next 6 weeks, and then on a monthly basis until the end of the study. In addition to
visits with the psychiatrist, participants will complete 15-minute individual interviews
with a clinician from the Hispanic Treatment Program. Individual interviews will take place
every 2 weeks in the first month of treatment, monthly until the third month, and then every
other month thereafter. The association between treatment, retention, and response will be
assessed after 3 months of treatment. Preliminary outcome data will be obtained after 6 more
months of continued treatment. After the end of treatment, participants may randomly be
asked to participate in a small "focus group" to discuss personal experiences with study

You can extend the standard schema if it is too limited for your directory needs. Follow these guidelines when customizing schema:
Reuse existing schema elements whenever possible.
Minimize the number of mandatory attributes that you define for each object class.
Do not define more than one object class or attribute for the same purpose.
Keep the schema as simple as possible.
When customizing the schema, do not modify, delete, or replace any existing definitions of attributes or object classes in the standard schema. Doing so can lead to compatibility problems with other directories and with LDAP client applications.
Do not modify any Directory Server internal operational attributes. You can, however, create your own operational variables for external applications.
Always define object classes instead of using objectClass: extensibleObject. Directory Server does not perform schema checking for entries that have the object class extensibleObject, so it does not constrain or check what attributes are present on the entry. Typos in applications, for example, giveName for the givenName attribute type, go unnoticed by Directory Server. Also, Directory Server must assume that all otherwise undefined attributes of extensibleObject entries are multivalued and have case-insensitive string syntax. Furthermore, some applications rely on entries having a particular object class. In general, if you have an application that requires an extension to an object class, do not relinquish schema management. Instead, create an auxiliary object class that contains the attributes that are required for the application.
This section contains information about the default directory schema, and about creating customized attributes and object classes.
The schema provided with Directory Server is described in a set of files that are stored in the instance-path/config/schema/directory.
This directory contains all of the common schema for Directory Server and related products. The LDAP v3 standard user and organization schema is located in the 00core.ldif file. The configuration schema used by earlier versions of the directory is located in the 50ns-directory.ldif file. The user created elements such as objectclasses and attributes are stored in 99user.ldif.
Do not modify files in this directory. To manage Directory Server schema, use the ldapmodify(1) command.
Each LDAP object class or attribute must be assigned a unique name and object identifier (OID). When you define a schema, you need an OID that is unique to your organization. One OID is enough to meet all of your schema needs. You then add new branches on that OID for your attributes and object classes.
Obtaining and assigning OIDs in your schema involves doing the following:
Obtaining an OID for your organization from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) or a national organization.
In some countries, corporations already have OIDs assigned to them. If your organization does not already have an OID, you can obtain an OID from IANA.
Creating an OID registry so you can track OID assignments.
An OID registry is a list that you maintain, which gives the OIDs and OID descriptions that are used in your directory schema. A OID registry ensures that no OID is ever used for more than one purpose.
Creating branches in the OID tree to accommodate schema elements.
Create at least two branches under the OID branch or your directory schema, using OID.1 for attributes and OID.2 for object classes. If you want to define your own matching rules or controls, you can add new branches as needed, such as OID.3.
When creating names for new attributes and object classes, make the name meaningful so your schema is easier to use.
Avoid naming collisions between custom schema elements and existing schema elements by including a unique prefix on custom elements. For example, Example.com Corporation might add the prefix Example before each of its custom schema elements. It might also add a special object class called ExamplePerson to identify Example.com employees in its directory.
Note that in LDAP, attribute type names and object class names are case insensitive. Applications should treat them as case insensitive strings.
Add new object classes when the existing object classes do not support all of the information you need to store in a directory entry.
There are two approaches to creating new object classes:
Create many new object classes, one for each object class structure to which you want to add an attribute.
Create a single object class that supports all of the attributes that you create for your directory. You create this kind of an object class by defining it to be an AUXILIARY object class.
Suppose your site wants to create the attributes ExampleDepartmentNumber and ExampleEmergencyPhoneNumber. You can create several object classes that allow some subset of these attributes. You can create an object class called ExamplePerson and have it allow the ExampleDepartmentNumber and ExampleEmergencyPhoneNumber attributes. The parent of ExamplePerson would be inetOrgPerson. You can then create an object class called ExampleOrganization and have it also allow the ExampleDepartmentNumber and ExampleEmergencyPhoneNumber attributes. The parent of ExampleOrganization would be the organization object class.
Your new object classes would appear in LDAP v3 schema format as follows:
objectclasses: (18.104.22.168.22.214.171.124.27.9126.96.36.199 NAME 'ExamplePerson' DESC 'Example Person Object Class' SUP inetorgPerson STRUCTURAL MAY (ExampleDepartmentNumber $ ExampleEmergencyPhoneNumber) ) objectclasses: (220.127.116.11.188.8.131.52.27.9188.8.131.52 NAME 'ExampleOrganization' DESC 'Example Organization Object Class' SUP organization STRUCTURAL MAY (ExampleDepartmentNumber $ ExampleEmergencyPhoneNumber) )
Alternatively, you can create a single object class that allows all of these attributes. Then you can use the object class with any entry on which you want to use the attributes. The single object class would appear as follows:
objectclasses: (220.127.116.11.220.127.116.11.27.9220.127.116.11 NAME 'ExampleEntry' DESC 'Example Auxiliary Object Class' SUP top AUXILIARY MAY (ExampleDepartmentNumber $ ExampleEmergencyPhoneNumber) )
The new ExampleEntry object class is marked AUXILIARY, meaning that it can be used with any entry regardless of its structural object class.
Consider the following when deciding how to implement new object classes.
Multiple STRUCTURAL object classes result in more schema elements to create and maintain.
Generally, the number of elements remains small and needs little maintenance. However, if you plan to add more than two or three object classes to your schema, you might find it easier to use a single object class.
Multiple STRUCTURAL object classes require more careful and more rigid data design.
Rigid data design forces you to consider the object class structure on which every piece of data is placed. You might find this restriction to be either helpful or cumbersome.
Single AUXILIARY object classes simplify data design when you have data that you want to put on more than one type of object class structure.
For example, suppose that you want preferredOS on both a person and a group entry. You might want to create only a single object class to allow this attribute.
Design object classes that relate to real objects and group elements that constitute sensible groupings.
Avoid required attributes for new object classes.
Requiring attributes can make your schema inflexible. When you create a new object class, allow rather than require attributes.
After defining a new object class, you need to decide which attributes the object class allows and requires, and from which object class or classes it inherits.
Add new attributes when the existing attributes do not support all of the information you need to store in a directory entry. Try to use standard attributes whenever possible. Search the attributes that already exist in the default directory schema and use those attributes in association with a new object class.
For example, you might find that you want to store more information on a person entry than the person, organizationalPerson, or inetOrgPerson object classes support. If you want to store birth dates in your directory, no attribute exists within the standard Directory Server schema. You can create a new attribute called dateOfBirth. Allow this attribute to be used on entries that represent people by defining a new auxiliary class that allows this attribute.

ST. PAUL -- One in five Minnesotans are expected to buy health insurance offered by a mostly online marketplace that a newly written bill would establish.
The marketplace, known as a health care exchange, is required by federal law known as Obamacare and must be in place by Oct. 31.
"A Minnesota-based exchange allows Minnesota the opportunity to modernize our public systems," state Sen. Tony Lourey, DFL-Kerrick, said.
The bill Lourey and Rep. Joe Atkins, DFL-Inver Grove Heights, unveiled Wednesday would establish a seven-member public-private board to govern the insurance sales effort that would serve 1.1 million Minnesotans. If the state does not take action, the federal government will set up its own insurance exchange.
The measure would require the state to withhold 3.5 percent of insurance premiums collected from policy sales to fund administration. With that, Lourey and Atkins said, no funds should be needed from state tax money.
Three Republican lawmakers appeared with bill supporters, including five Dayton administration commissioners, at a news conference. They did not promise the GOP was on board and bill backers said the measure needs to build support, especially among businesses.
"There still is a little bit of resistance here and there," Lourey said.
"I think it's a big mistake," Minority Leader Sen. David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, said of Minnesota's participation. "I don't think we should be doing it."
Other Republicans said they will work with Democratic bill authors.
"It's something we have to do in a very short, fast fashion," Sen. Julie Rosen, R-Fairmont, said.
The bill must pass by March 22 for the exchange to begin Oct. 31, Lourey said.
The proposal discussed Wednesday is one of several bills expected to be debated to bring Minnesota into compliance with Obamacare. Lourey said another one probably will be to move low-income Minnesotans in the state-subsidized MinnesotaCare insurance program into the exchange.
"We intend this to be a starting place," Lourey said of the Wednesday bill.
Obamacare is historic, Rep. Tom Huntley, DFL-Duluth, said. He said it was the most important move in health insurance since Medicare and Medicaid were created in 1965.
While all Minnesotans will have access to the exchange, the same plans may not be available statewide.
People who do not want to use computers would have access to insurance purchasing over the telephone or some in-person locations.

As there are so many different toxins in vaccines, many people want to know how to detoxify the body afterwards. Although we want to avoids vaccines entirely, sometimes we're forced to take it, such as flu vaccine. And toxins from vaccines, especially heavy metals are hard to remove from the body in short time. So searching for some natural vaccination detoxification is necessary.

Good Sandwich
- by Ty
I recently seen a recipe for a BLT. But it wasn't just a regular BLT. It was called a "California" BLT. This sandwich is perfect for summer. It's cool, refreshing, light, and healthy. After watching the show (Barefoot Contessa) I immediately ran to store to pick up the missing items that I needed. I didn't follow the recipe to the letter. Here is what I used for each sandwich.
3 pieces of maple bacon
2 slices of avocado
2 pieces of red leaf lettuce
1 slice of tomato
1 potato sandwich roll
1/2 tsp of Kraft mayo
I made them for lunch for me and my son. He loved it!!!! As did I, before making this sandwich I had never ate avocado's before. They made the sandwich cool and rich. Of course you can modify this recipe anyway you like. Also your choice of breads can be endless. I chose potato bread because it's my fav. But don't be afraid to experiment. Another good choice would be a fresh pretzel roll or bakery style french bread. This recipe was such a success, it will be one of my families permanent favorites. Please grab this recipe. You will not be disappointed if you are a fan of BLT's. Thank you food network !!!

Detroit Medical Center today launched the largest "Obamacare" sign-up campaign in Southeast Michigan as more than 60 organizations and elected officials have agreed to participate in the DMC-led Path to Health program.
The purpose of Path to Health is to educate people about health insurance and how to enroll either in a private health insurance policy or Medicaid, said DMC CEO Joe Mullany.
"DMC is just one piece of this puzzle. We really look forward to working with everybody, putting our personal interests aside and putting the interests of the population's health as our No. 1 priority," said Mullany in a statement.
People shopping for private health insurance on the Michigan Health Insurance Marketplace can visit www.healthcare.gov for enrollment information. Most individuals have until March 31 to sign up for coverage, which would begin May 1, before being subject to a financial penalty mandated under the Affordable Care Act.
Most health systems and health insurers in Southeast Michigan have developed programs and campaigns to help enroll people in the nation's new health insurance system or Medicaid expansion in Michigan, which begins April 1.
Moreover, hundreds of trained certified application counselors and navigators at dozens of nonprofit agencies in Michigan are assisting the uninsured enroll in a health care plan. A quick place to start to find information online is at Enroll Michigan.
Participating organizations in DMC's Path to Health include Detroit clergies, nonprofit organizations, health care providers, social services and state services.
Kicking off the campaign this morning at a media event at DMC Children's Hospital of Michigan were Mike Duggan, Detroit mayor and former DMC CEO; Conrad Mallett, campaign chair of Path to Health, and Chris Allen, executive director of the Wayne County Health Authority. Others participating included the Rev. Wendell Anthony, president of the Detroit NAACP, and Margie Mitchell, executive director of MichUCAN.
"People who come in to Sinai-Grace, Detroit Receiving, Harper-Hutzel, even Huron Valley-Sinai all come for a variety of different health care circumstances," said Mallett, who also is DMC's chief administration officer.
"This will allow us to achieve the central plan of the Affordable Care Act, which is preventative care."

Information for Students Transferring to Hunter while on OPT
If you are transferring to Hunter College but are currently on OPT, DO NOT request that your I-20 be released to Hunter. That is, DO NOT ask your previous school to transfer or release your I-20 status to Hunter. This would cause your OPT status to end, and you would not be able to continue being legally employed at your current job. You should only ask your previous school to release the I-20 to Hunter if you do not wish to continue working.
After your OPT has expired, you have 60 days to transfer the I-20 to Hunter College. Therefore, even though you should not transfer the I-20 to Hunter College when you initially transfer in, you should do it once the OPT has expired. Remember, you have 60 days after the OPT has expired to complete this process.

One of the overarching features of Orange County style is our love of the shiny – the bling. There is no shortage of jewelry designers and retailers in Orange County. And it makes sense because a one-of-kind chunky necklace is all you need to make the typical Southern California outfit of premium denim jeans, a silky tank that shows off toned, tan arms, and cool shoes special. Once in awhile, we'll spotlight the doings of Orange County's jewelers and designers here.
Newport Beach-based Rock of Eden, an online jewelry retailer founded by moms Paddi Sharifian (Laguna Hills) and Elizabeth Hargreaves (Laguna Beach), has created a special "remember" necklace to honor the victims of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Conn. The necklace, $80, is made of silver and dark gray rhodium on a matching dark gray 16-inch adjustable chain. Fifty dollars from each necklace sold goes to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund (uwwesternct.org).
But the necklace isn't the only thing worth taking a peek at on the Rock of Eden website. It also has a ton of beautiful and unique contemporary and antique pieces. Also covet-worthy – for the bride with a little edge – the snake and skull diamond engagement ring for $2,900. The ring is rendered in 14-karat gold and includes diamonds and rubies.
Check out Rock of Eden's website, rockofeden.com.
So much for subtlety. Lugano Diamonds in Newport Beach unveiled last week a 10-carat pink padparadscha sapphire ring. The sapphire is delicate in color, set in platinum and surrounded by nearly 2 carats of white and fancy pink diamonds. The ring was designed by jeweler Moti Ferder. It can be worn as a ring or a necklace. The stones are from Sri Lanka.
We can't tell you the price because Lugano wouldn't tell us (it is available upon request for someone who might be in the market to buy it), but it is available to view (and drool over) at the Lugano Diamonds Salon at 620 Newport Center Drive, Suite 100, Newport Beach. For more information (and pricing) call 866-584-2666 or email james@lugano
Men are, generally speaking, more subtle than women, but that does not mean they don't like a little wrist candy occasionally. And this candy comes in the form of high-end watches like the new collection at Vacheron Constantin.
"Some men won't wear jewelry," says Hyla Bauer, senior public relations manager for Vacheron Constantin. Watches are "jewelry they can wear" and have the added attraction of being a sort of gadget, she says.
I got a recent tour of the Vacheron Constantin store at South Coast Plaza, which opened in December 2012. It is an elegant space that walks the line between masculine and feminine and is altogether fabulous. It has the quiet air of a monastery or a museum where the staff cares for precious treasure.
And why not? The watches are works of art. (Bauer said Vacheron Constantin's watches become "heritage" pieces that are passed from father to son to son.) The Swiss watchmaker was established in 1755 and sells timepieces that cost from thousands of dollars to several hundred thousand dollars and more.
There is enough eye candy in the small space to give anyone a sugar rush, but real style, I believe, can be found in the Patrimony Contemporaine and Patrimony Traditionnelle lines.
Encased in 18-karat rose gold or platinum and featuring wrist straps of alligator, the Patrimony lines come in men's and women's, but if I won the lottery, I would buy the men's version – it's just that much cooler. Visit vacheron-constantin.com.
