At long last, the Food and Drug Administration has issued the final rule that defines what foods may carry the term "gluten-free" on their packaging. This is good news for the 3 million people in the U.S. who have celiac disease and others with gluten sensitivity.
In order to use the term "gluten-free" on a food label, the food must meet the following requirements:
It may seem contradictory to say that a food that contains less than 20 ppm gluten is "gluten-free." However, research shows that most individuals with celiac disease can tolerate this amount of gluten without adverse health effects.
It's important to note that this rule holds true for look-alike claims appearing on labels, such as "without gluten," "free of gluten" or "no gluten." These terms will be interpreted to also mean "gluten-free." The rule applies to food products imported from other countries — so imported food products bearing the "gluten-free" claim must meet the above criteria. It also applies to dietary supplements.
Unfortunately, the new rule does not cover foods regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (meats, poultry, certain eggs) or beverages regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (alcohol, distilled spirits, wine, beer). However, the FDA will work with these agencies to ensure that labels for these products will follow suit. Likewise, the FDA is working internally on regulatory efforts to disclose gluten-containing ingredients in drug products.
Manufacturers will have one year to bring package labels into compliance. Thereafter, any food product containing the words "gluten-free" on its label that does not meet the criteria would be deemed misbranded and subject to regulatory enforcement.
I think this is good news and a step in the right direction. Thoughts?

Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
Unfortunately this ruling seems to have avoided the issue of OATS.
Oat is a grain, wind & insect pollinated, that is related to wheat so closely it can be cross pollinated. The fruit, grain, of such pollination contains Gluten.
Because wheat & oats are grown in proximity to each other cross-pollination is common & impossible to prevent completely. Oats may claim to be "gluten-free" because the pure strain of oat does not contain gluten but the oats will still contain an unknown % of cross-pollinated grains.
The bottom line is cross-pollinated oat contains Gluten.
This is great! And now that the rules as to what is allowed to be labeled gluten free by the FDA have been set, the next step is to work toward laws requiring that all foods containing gluten state the word "gluten" clearly on their food label (like what is currently required of the top 8 food allergens http://www.allergycookie.com/?p=628)
I was told I had irritable bowel syndrome some time back and that one suggestion for relief was to try a gluten free diet. This seemed spot on because when I would eat processed bread products I would experience my symptoms. After trying it I did see some relief. I have become innovative with the recipes and have found that Mayo gives excellent recipes online for subscribers.
I decided to try going gluten-free 6 months ago when a friend said how effective being gluten-free is at reducing inflammation in his joints. I figured I had nothing to lose by trying this out. I mostly eat foods that I prepare myself, and it's actually been fun to experiment with new recipes involving rice, potatoes, corn, beans, fruits, veggies, meats, cheese, eggs -- yep the list of what I can have is quite long. I honestly do not miss the breads, cookies, cakes, pasta, etc, but on the rare event that I have a craving for something, most grocery stores have decent replacement products. The results: yes, inflammation is reduced enough that I have discontinued the twice-a-day Aleve that I had been taking for years and years. Even better, I noticed an immediate change in digestion problems -- totally gone! I no longer carry anti-diarreal pills with me, and no longer worry about it! The digestive improvement in itself is enough to keep me from gluten for the rest of my life. (And it came back the one time that I had gluten after about 3 months). But there is even more! My brain is not as foggy. My nose is not constantly plugged up. My cholesterol went from 202 to 149, and triglycerides went from over 250 (high) to 60 (less than 150 is good). I feel like I eat as much fats and carbs as I want, but I want a lot less. And I lost 15 pounds without feeling like I was on a diet. Doctors should recommend this for people who struggle with health issues.
What can I eat. Everything is about losing weight. I am104 pds. Celiac, lactose,no fruit,no sugar(since radiation 30 years ago) Most people who are overweight do not eat enough,just wrong. Cut all sugar out of diet and see how hard it is to keep weight on. Sugar is in everything. People say I wish I had your problem REALLY Oh and you look 10 years older than you are. If I sound feed up I am
Very imformative and enlightening. I have a daughter eating vegetatian, whih her husbasd eating gluten free and a grandson eating regular food. She really has her work cut out for her to accommodate the three.
I was clinically diagnosed with Celiac's about a year ago. Both my biopsy and bloodwork came back positive. I cannot tell you what a life changer being gluten free is!!! Many stores and restaurants are addressing this and producing products that are good tasting. However, to make up for the lack of gluten much more fats and sugars are added to the product,,,,,not to mention that the prices are triple what they are for products with gluten. Can't have it all but I'm still hoping the prices come down.
For questions regarding soy sauce - Kikkoman produces a GLUTEN FREE soy sauce - specified on the label. If one is unsure of gluten in a product, one can usually get the answer on the internet or by contacting the particular company.
A student of mine "got me" onto the idea that my reocurring asthma and pneumonia twice in two years might be gluten-induced.
I took gluten, wheat especially, off my diet and sure enough, mo more lung issues unless someone has "snuck" wheat into something. Mine seems to be mostly wheat-induced and consists of asthma-like wheezing and a heaviness in my chest.
I like the idea that FDA is on the band-wagon for mandatory disclosure.
This labeling is used by a number of food manufacturers who in very small, unreadable typeface include the following: "Made in a facility that processes wheat items."
So, while the physical components may be gluten free, for those who are very sensitive to gluten, such as those with Celiac Disease. this is very deceptive.
Eating gluten free materials from cooking utensils used to cook gluten materials, such as Soy Sauce (Asian restaurants for instance) as an example, could result in a severe reaction from a Celiac patient
Too bad they are allowed to put gluten free when it's not. Our daughter-in-law can't touch any glutton. Seems like misadvertising to me
Great. I wonder if little wee New Zealand will cotton on to this idea.
It will make life so much easier.
Hooray for the USA. Would you know the future status of labelling for Canada??
Just asking.
Almost too good to be true!
I think that,s great but what about soy sauce ?5ujfnb
When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease,the doctor,also added that I eat no additives,as they have hidden gluten. He said that my diet would be a healthy one.
FDA should apply this rule to all medications, both prescription and over the counter.
I always heard that modified food starch and maltodextrin in the U.S. are GF. I never cheat eating GF but find I am now lactose intolerant. This makes it so difficult.
I still remain concerned when I see "gluten free" on the package, but then in the ingredient list see maltodextrin, dextrose and modified food starch, without listing the source of the starch. No source listing = no purchase for me as modified food starch makes me so sick.
It is good that there are some guidelines. However, it is a joke that the FDA comes out with a guideline that the USDA and Alcohol Tobacco Tax Depts are exempt.
I think its pretty neat how people who have the celiac disease can tolerate that amount of gluten without any bad health effects. It says that it doesn't cover the U.S agrigculture of meat, poultry, and eggs though. Its interseting to read about this and I believe they should have somekind of enforcement if the next thing that says gluten free isn't.
Is there any possible surgery to eliminate this disease ??
This is great news. Do companies have to indicate gluten (or a derivative thereof)as an ingredient? ie. pickles that contain malt vinegar? or are all foods assumed to have gluten unless labeled "gluten free"?

The people of Southern Africa fondly refer to it as the Uhuru railway, for it was one of their most effective weapons in the struggle to liberate the region from colonialism and apartheid.
Father of the Nation, Mwalimu Nyerere and Zambia's founder president Kenneth Kaunda, then leaders of the frontline states, hit on the great idea of building the railway in a bid to give landlocked Zambia more clout in supporting the liberation fighters and greater independence in running its economy.
China which was one of the foremost backers of the struggle was approached and agreed, building the 1,860-kilometre line from Kapiri Mposhi to Dar es Salaam in record time.
While Tazara has thus remained a historic symbol of the region's struggles to attain Uhuru (liberation), it is also true that its full economic potential, while appreciated, has never been seriously exploited.
If anything Tazara has become a burden on the economies of the two countries, achieving only ten per cent of its designed capacity of moving five million metric tons of goods per year and about a million passengers per year.
Yet the railway line is strategically placed to contribute immensely to the second liberation of the Southern Africa region, spanning as it does through the most resource endowed area in the region, boasting of various minerals, agricultural products and natural resources.
It was the knowledge of this potential for the company to grow and place itself strategically to benefit from the economic changes in the region that prompted Transport minister Dr Harrison Mwakyembe to instruct the Tazara management to come up with a clear plan for rescuing the company.
We applaud the minister for starting early to tackle one of the sleeping economic giants, the others being TRL and Dar es Salaam Port. We know from hindsight what these infrastructural giants can do to drive the economy in terms of direct and indirect revenues.
"The southern regions and Zambia are not supposed to transport their goods through roads but railways," rightly noted the minister adding that Tazara can improve the country's economy within a short period of time if managed efficiently.
We hope that his directive will be acted on with utmost speed, for we know that several plans are lying at Tazara, having been floated in a bid to breathe new life into the company.
One of those floated sometime last year was the recommendation to invite operators, who would offer various services for an agreed payment to the Authority and the governments of Tanzania and Zambia who own the rail line.
Such a move would require changing the Tazara Act to allow a private-public partnership with investors stepping in to finance operators who would serve the clients and pay Tazara and the two governments.
Areas other than cargo handling which could be exploited immediately are the operation of special trains for the various tourist attractions along the line.
The expanding city of Dar es Salaam could also exploit the line to reduce its debilitating traffic congestion. Experts could check out whether the line could chip in by allowing city trains to run on its tracks to help reduce jams.

I think I've encountered a bug in the shop. Sent a support ticket request and I received no confirmation mail.
That's troubling. Do you remember what the topic was so I can see if it was entered into our system?
By the way, I forget if I mentioned this before but I was unhappy with the rate in which we replied to tickets so we now have a CSR who will be ramping up shortly.
Speaking of by the ways, the lawyers gave us the thumbs up on the in game auction house. I figure that'll reduce the cost per card card and allow new users to get decent files without breaking the bank, so that's on the plate for next sprint.

December 2006
by Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret)
Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England at a recent conference in the nation's capital noted that the greatest long-term threat to America is not weapons of mass destruction, but rather the prospect of losing our strength in science and technology.
England's observations are quite sobering, and remind us of the important role that science and technology play in the military superiority of our armed forces. Although technology is just one of a triad of key elements that are needed to maintain our edge on the battlefield — quality people is the primary component, in addition to first-class training.
Technology is America's great strength and one that we cannot afford to lose. In this context, it is fitting to highlight the important contributions that the Defense Department makes to the nation in this critical realm. In fiscal year 2007, defense S&T remains fairly robust at $13.3 billion — this includes programs in basic research (6.1) and applied research (6.2 and 6.3). One issue of concern, however, is that S&T is only 17 percent of the entire defense RDT&E (research, development, testing and evaluation) budget. That 17 percent share is expected to decline.
The biggest share of the defense S&T budget — $3 billion — belongs to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
DARPA truly is on the leading edge of technology, and provides a winning model for how the government can achieve genuine innovation that also helps us win wars.
Its central areas of investment today focus on robust, secure self-forming networks, detection, precision ID, tracking and destruction of elusive targets, networked manned and unmanned systems, urban area operations, location and characterization of underground structures, assured use of space, cognitive systems, bio-technologies and core technologies such as materials and electronics, according to a recent industry report that was published by the Government Electronics & Information Technology Association.
A number of DARPA projects in recent years highlight not only the innovative thinking at the agency but also its effective approach to establishing partnerships with industry and academia.
DARPA efforts, for example, spawned the development and eventual production of some of the most successful unmanned aerial vehicles currently employed by the military services. And the work continues. Most recently, DARPA, in a joint effort with NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, performed the first-ever autonomous probe-and-drogue airborne refueling operation.
This technology is a critical enabler for affordable, persistent, unmanned strike systems. The same technology also promises to enhance reliability, safety and the range of air refueling manned aircraft.
DARPA also is an active participant in the Defense Department's efforts to develop alternative energy sources. Under the BioFuels program, DARPA is looking for processes that will efficiently produce alternative military jet fuel from agriculture or aquaculture crops.
Another interesting development worth highlighting is DARPA's unveiling of an "immune building" at the Army's Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. It is a research effort to develop, integrate, and demonstrate a system to protect building occupants against chemical and biological warfare agents. The technologies in this program will ultimately be made available to the entire military community through a modeling and simulation toolkit, so building planners and designers can incorporate building protection strategies into new facilities, and retrofit such systems into existing ones.
In the medical field, DARPA also is pushing the edge of technology. It recently awarded a research contract that could lead to the development of drugs to enhance the restorative benefits derived from sleep and offset problems associated with sleep deprivation.
DARPA is one of several government sponsors of the University of Texas Health Science Center's new animal imaging center. The center will allow researchers to test early-stage drugs on mice, rats and primates to find the best candidates to use for drug trials with humans. It is one of the first imaging centers in the country that is able to conduct research on battlefield diseases in animals.
Organizations such as DARPA often work with small businesses, sometimes under traditional contracts and under Small Business Innovation Research programs. The Defense Department funds a billion dollars each year in SBIR projects at small technology companies — projects that serve a defense need and have commercial applications. The program competitively awards up to $850,000 in early-stage R&D funding directly to small technology companies or individual entrepreneurs who form a company.
By the way, this topic and other issues relevant to small businesses, including opportunities in defense science and technology, will be discussed at the National Small Business Conference, which NDIA is hosting next May in Houston, Texas.
The future of this country, as Secretary England said, "depends on how we respond to the challenge" of maintaining our technological superiority, both on and off the battlefield.
Vital to achieving that goal is to sustain a healthy level of funding. The services and DARPA currently enjoy healthy budgets, but according to some estimates, basic science spending is projected to decline as the Pentagon shifts funds to other pressing priorities. That situation has to be watched closely so we do not sacrifice the seed corn of our future capabilities and the superiority that we seek.

How Do I Repair Or Replace My Plastic Painted Bumper?
The purpose of automobile bumpers is to protect functional and cosmetic areas of the car from damage during low-speed impacts. For many decades, bumpers were heavy chrome-plated steel bars bolted onto a vehicle's front and rear. Today's vehicles still have an actual metal bumper beam, but it's structural only and lighter in weight. A plastic piece known as a bumper cover fits over that structural beam, and is painted to provide a seamless look on the front or rear of a vehicle.

Product Categories
Digital to Analog Converters
Product Details
The AD5172/AD5173 are dual-channel, 256-position, one-time programmable (OTP) digital potentiometers1 that employ fuse link technology to achieve memory retention of resistance settings. OTP is a cost-effective alternative to EEMEM for users who do not need to program the digital potentiometer setting in memory more than once. These devices perform the same electronic adjustment function as mechanical potentiometers or variable resistors with enhanced resolution, solid-state reliabil-ity, and superior low temperature coefficient performance.
The AD5172/AD5173 are programmed using a 2-wire, I2C®-compatible digital interface. Unlimited adjustments are allowed before permanently setting the resistance value. During OTP activation, a permanent blow fuse command freezes the wiper position (analogous to placing epoxy on a mechanical trimmer).
Unlike traditional OTP digital potentiometers, the AD5172/ AD5173 have a unique temporary OTP overwrite feature that allows for new adjustments even after a fuse is blown. However, the OTP setting is restored during subsequent power-up condi-tions. This allows users to treat these digital potentiometers as volatile potentiometers with a programmable preset.
- Systems calibration
- Electronics level setting
- Mechanical trimmers replacement in new designs
- Permanent factory PCB setting
- Transducer adjustment of pressure, temperature, position, chemical, and optical sensors
- RF amplifier biasing
- Automotive electronics adjustment
- Gain control and offset adjustment
1 The terms digital potentiometer, VR, and RDAC are used interchangeably.

Product Technologies / Benefits:
- AquaPiston: AquaPiston single flush canister technology uses the force of gravity and a precision-engineered tank, bowl, and trapway to create a strong, efficient siphon during flushing. The canister flush valve's 3:2 ratio optimizes flush performance and resists warping and deterioration, while its durable design features 90% less exposed seal material than a standard 3-inch flapper flush valve, guaranteeing leak-free performance. The light-touch canister requires lower activation force than a flapper, and once activated, allows water to flow into the bowl from all sides (360 degrees), increasing each flush's power and effectiveness.
- Comfort Height: Comfort Height toilets offer the greatest accessibility and ease of use with a bowl height of between 16-1/2" and 18", the same as a standard chair.
- WaterSense Certified Product: To help make a difference on a global scale and to further its role as an industry leader in eco-performance practices, Kohler has established partnerships with a number of environmental organizations, including WaterSense. Many Kohler faucets and toilets are equipped with low-flow technology - they use less water, while continuing to meet superior performance standards.

The Mudwater is a good race it is well run and as good as or better than much much more expensive races hosted by for profit companies to the south. It is an espically good course for spectators and first timers.
Kansas weather can be tricky in July. Storms, flood, heat, locusts anything could be in the mix. In 2012, we lucked out. A cool front worked through the area overnight with a few thundershowers, but nothing too organized Driving to the race I saw a cluster of thundershowers with lightning, but it moved out of the area before we started and I didn't see any lighting by the time I had reached the race site at Lake Afton. The weather that was left gave us a cloud deck to the east that kept the sun off the althletes and the temperature was moderated from the 105F it was the day before. Think about that, if we had raced on Saturday instead of Sunday, 105F, nasty. But a race director can't do anything the weather.
Race Director, Alan, was at the race site when I arrived on Saturday and we did packet pickup. He was surronunded by families enjoying Lake Afton, picnicing, swimming, and playing on the playground equipment. They rent a building at the Lake and were waiting for the prior renters to finish up their family reunion so that tranisition setup could begin. It was 105F. I'm surprised that packet pickup wasn't in Lake Afton itself.
On Sunday morning I arrived at start time (7am) minus one hour and parked. If anything can be improved at Mudwater a more organized parking system might help. People generally just parked along the road into the park, but the road has a significant ditch that's pretty well hidden. One car was parked nose into the ditch and needed a tow truck. It was even a hazard on the bike course. (That was a seriously bad parking decision.) There is lots of parking and the only real suggestion I would give Allan is to make a few more rows closer to the race site where the drainage ditch is shallow.
There are no bike numbers, no assigned racks, and some very basic saftey check items. Nothing at all was intimidating or problematic. I found a spot on the rack and racked in. Chip pickup and body marking were all in the building and went smoothly. The duathlon went off first at 7am and I was already in the water when the gun went off for the Du. Everyone formed a line, with no offical officiating and Alan launched my wave the Oly Men, next. The swim start was pretty relaxed. I like the outside and I normally angle right so my natural tendancy brings me into the pack and I straighten out after that. The swim was good, although you culd walk around the final bouy and many poeple did. You swim parallel to the shore and take another lap for the Oly so I did that. My pet peeve is that some races stand up in the middle of the swim. This is odd because you can run into them or you have to divert. A couple of people did this, but then I worked into deeper water and didn't have to deal with them. As I started my second loop, the last of the sprint athlete waves was launched. I ended up working through them for most of my second loop, but with no real complications. My only major suggestion is to watch out for "the standers" in the swim. I came out of the water middle of the pack for Oly athletes and middle of the pack for the last wave of the sprint. I think Alan announced there were 15 lifeguards in inertubes for this small course and you could stand for 1/2 the course if you wanted too, making it ideal for first time or inexperience or water phobia triathletes. The water wasn't even that muddy. It wasn't cold either so no wetsuits.
I jogged up the hill on the carpet into transition, put on socks and bike shoes and jogged to the mount/dismount line. No problems, the M/D line was further away than I normally see it, but it didn't cause any issues. The bike course was on really good roads. Very smooth and a loop for the oly, out and back for the sprint. The only bad road surface is the north bound section (3miles) near Cheney, KS, Oly only. Otherwise the raod was fabulous really fabulous. There are a couple of longer hills on the Oly about 3/4 through the course and they were about a mile or 3/4 mile each and everything went well. My splits reflected the wind direction of the day, from the east, so the out was much faster than the return. All in all a good bike course. They also had a new handup for water, which I had never done. I am embarrased to reportthat I came in too fast and just beat the bottle out of the first guys hand, but I was able to snag one from the second and there was a third guy if my luck was really really bad. Good organization and the cold water tasted delish.
No problems on the dismount, no problems in transition to run or reracking, off I went on the run. The run course is as dead flat as I have seen. It's got this great loop in it so that if you have family or other spectators, they can be near the intersection of the loop and the back strech and see you four times per loop. There was water, gu brew, cold towels and engouragement at each water stop. I never wanted for water or anything on the run. There is some, but not much shade on the course, and the Sprint does one lap, while the Oly does two. Two laps for me then. I faded a little at the end, but was happy to finish near my race goals. They even announced my name and town at the finish line.
Post race the sprint athletes had already started the party, there were still hotdogs, chips, cookies, and iced electrolyte drinks a plenty. I got some and cooled off. As I realaxed, I noticed that my bike was getting lonley in transition and there wasn't really any control, the bikes didn't have numbers attached and you were allowed in if you had a race bib, so I got my bike a little earlier than normal. I wanted to get back to the hotel and shower before the drive back. So I did.
Low stress, well organized, a race for triathletes, put on by triathletes. I really enjoyed myself. People were beyond nice and the stress level was very low. Much different from my expereince with 300+ athletes last year at the DiscoTri in Texas. Good Job Alan and the crew from the Kansas River Valley Tri Club.

Card games are serious business.
I looked over most of the cards. I feel as if Ariette would need a set or two more before she'd really shine. I'll reserve my other opinions til' later on, mostly because I can't remember any of the other cards.
