About Brooks and Dunn
Brooks and Dunn remain successful solo acts (Updated June 19, 2013)
Unlike most duos and groups whose split and/or retirement status is often shoved to the back burner in favor of big, bold reunions … the chasm of Brooks & Dunn remains firmly etched the annals of country music history.
Still, fans of the duo needn't fret. First and foremost, the solo careers of Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have included albums by each artist (Brooks' "New to This Town" and Dunn's self-titled debut for Arista Nashville). And behind the strength of the single "Bleed Red" Dunn's debut came at the very top of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, as well as number 5 on the Billboard 200.
While both singers were also ready to take that leap, asserting 100% creative control over their own projects, Brooks especially has other things in the mix. Not only does he serve as host of the syndicated radio show American Country Countdown (aka ACC Top 40), he expanded his portfolio when he started a new overnight radio show called "Kickin' It with Kix." The show runs five nights a week on over 4,000 Cumulus Media affiliate stations across the United States.
Not to be out-Dunn (pun intended), Ronnie surprised country music fans leaving the CMT Awards on June 12, 2013 with a surprise set from the rooftop of a nearby restaurant. He played four songs, including new single "Kiss You There" during the performance, with video projected onto the walls of three nearby restaurants. During the set, a flash mob of line dancers also invaded the surrounding streets.
Though the radio gigs, solo projects and unconventional advertising may be a downer to Brooks & Dunn fans holding out hope for a reunion, that both men remain active in country music is a sign that we should never say never.
About Brooks and Dunn
Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn are the two men that made up the most successful duo of all time in any genre, Brooks & Dunn. They debuted in 1991 with their first album, "Brand New Man" and became certified six-times platinum. Fruition has followed Brooks & Dunn with hits like "She's Not the Cheatin' Kind," "My Maria" and "Red Dirt Road." The duo has won two Grammy awards and countless other honors over the course of their 20 year partnership. They retired after their final concert in Nashville in the fall of 2010, but you can count on us for Brooks & Dunn tickets if they ever decide to make a comeback.
Known for their high-energy shows, smooth blend of honkey-tonk and mainstream country and the revival of line dancing thanks to the song "Boot Scootin' Boogie," everything stamped with the Brooks & Dunn name in the early 90's turned to gold. Songs like "My Next Broken Heart" and "Neon Moon" quickly climbed the charts to No. 1, and pretty soon the pair had more hits than they could fit in a headlining show. "Hard Workin' Man," "That Ain't No Way to Go" and "Rock My World (Little Country Girl)" are just a few of the tracks that helped make the duo a true commercial success.
Brooks and Dunn won every Country Music Association (CMA) Vocal Duo of the Year award every year between 1992 and 2006, except for 2000. They captured two Grammys for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group, had their song "Only in America" used in numerous presidential campaigns, and when they weren't making music of their own, collaborated with artists like Reba McEntire on "If You See Him/If You See Her" and "Cowgirls Don't Cry."
The duo closed out an unbelievable career at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on September 2, 2010 with that aforementioned single, "Brand New Man," during the encore. The sold-out show was the final date on their Last Rodeo Tour and also served as a fundraiser for the County Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Both artists continue to record for Arista Nashville label as solo artists.

S African Health Minister Replaced By Obscure Local Doctor
Jacob Zuma, the new South African president, has now replaced the health minister who was praised by campaigners for reversing the country's calamitous policy on Aids, with an obscure local medical doctor.
Announcing his first cabinet, Zuma demoted Barbara Hogan from the health ministry to the less influential public enterprises portfolio.
Medical doctor Aaron Motsoaledi, now serving as a provincial education official, will step in as the new health minister Monday, marking the second change in the position in less than a year.
Some analysts had anticipated that Hogan would be let go after her public criticism of the African National Congress (ANC) leadership earlier this year for refusing to allow the Dalai Lama in a conference on peace and reconciliation.
The outgoing minister Barbara Hogan had been applauded for being the voice of dissention from the denialist policies of former president Thabo Mbeki and his health minister Manto Tshabala-Msimang, who was nicknamed Dr Beetroot after promoted lemons, garlic and beets as treatments for AIDS over life-saving drugs.
Zuma immediately sought to assuage concerns about the appointment, calling Motsoaledi "a well-known doctor who has handled this department at a provincial level in the past."
"He is a very energetic and able comrade so I don't think you should be very worried," Zuma added.
Activists caution that constantly making changes in a ministry that is already known for its lack of organization would distract from the nation's efforts to ease the suffering of 5.7 million South Africans that live with HIV.
"I have to say that it's very disappointing," said Mark Heywood, speaking for the Treatment Action Campaign pressure group, saying that changes in leadership had also been made on a local level across the country.
"We have an entirely new political team responsible for health at a time where the health system is in critical need of resuscitation and in need of continuity and understanding."
The AIDS epidemic, which kills 1,000 South Africans every day, remains a high sensitive topic for Zuma. He is a polygamist in a country where multiple sex partners has increased rate of infections and was second in command to Mbeki, who was responsible for delaying the roll out of life-saving drugs.
But his greatest offense in the issue of AIDS was during a 2006 trial in which he was acquitted of rape. He claims that he reduced his risk of infection by taking a shower after having sex with his HIV-positive accuser.
The absurdity of his statements has plagued him ever since, despite an apology and his shocking political comeback to the country's top office.
Elizabeth Mills of the University of Cape Town says, "Zuma's 'shower theory' has undermined his authority on HIV/AIDS and raised concerns about his capacity to effectively lead the government in the struggle against HIV/AIDS."
"Zuma has not demonstrated leadership with regards to sexual monogamy nor condom use," she added.
The new president has committed himself to strong AIDS messages but activists want tangible leadership in order to stir powerful action on a nation level.
Laetitia Rispel of the Center for Health Policy at the University of the Witwatersrand says, "I hope we will avoid destructive messages and controversies which detract from combating the HIV epidemic."
Another obstacle will be maintaining funding for the world's largest anti-retroviral drugs program that had nearly 700,000 South Africans on treatment at the end of November.
The government says it intends to step up its fight against HIV/AIDS by $112 million and double treatment over the next three years. This may be a difficult promise to follow through with as Zuma's team faces the country's first recession in 17 years.
"I look forward to seeing how he translates rhetoric into practice as our new president. Time will tell," Mills said.
"Should Zuma prove us wrong in our cautious optimism, then South Africans will stand up together and fight until we are heard. We've done it before, and we'll do it again."

What is it?
The Volkswagen Golf in a party frock. No, that's being unnecessarily harsh. This, the second-generation TT, is a bona fide small sports coupe for literally all seasons. Where the Mk1 traded on looks and that solid gold Audi badge, the Mk2 balances a line of Teutonic styling simplicity and genuine handling ability. Consider it an extension of a hairdresser's rank in the salon at your peril, as engines range from 2.0-litre TDI to 2.5-litre RS producing up to 360bhp.
Thanks to the TT's aluminium spaceframe body, Audi has managed to make the whole car lighter than a traditional chassis, and as any motoring enthusiast will attest, low weight equals killer handling. Audi has fitted a new rear suspension and this, together with the lightweight chassis, allows the TT to go through corners with real zeal, and you can jump on the accelerator absurdly early. The steering is nice and precise, while traction remains consistent, no matter the road conditions.
The springs aren't overly firm and the optional adaptive dampers, which react to road surfaces instantly using miniaturised magnet filings, work an absolute treat in keeping the ride compliant and comfortable. Body control, as a result, is great. There's a 2.0-litre TDI diesel with 168bhp, a budget 1.8 TFSI and a 2.0-litre TFSI with 210bhp (both with 258lb ft of torque), a 2.0-litre TTS with 272bhp, and the pumellingly rapid 2.5-litre TT RS.
That last car is a proper quattro – guttural roar, fantastic handling and pumped-up looks. It's even better for 2012 with the TT RS Plus offering a full 360bhp. This hits 60mph from rest in 4.1 seconds, and has the top speed limiter increased to 174mph. A sports exhaust ensures it also sounds better too: how very TG-friendly of them...
On the inside
You'll struggle to get real humans in the rear seats, but small dogs or children won't complain. It's wider and roomier than the Mk1, but the intimacy you desire from a sports car remains.
However, while the instruments are fine to use there isn't the same sense of quality you got from the earlier model. Fine in other cars, less so an Audi. Otherwise there's good visibility, a nice seating position and the knowledge that you're piloting something special.
Unsurprisingly, you'll opt for the diesel should you be concerned by such nuances as 'money'. It returns 53.3mpg and emits 139g/km of CO2 which is the very definition of having cake and munching it. However, exercise your inner Stig with the TT RS and you can expect much less than 31.4mpg, because you'll plant your foot to hear that five-pot. Make it so.

Relais du Pont de Normandie Hotel reviews

A little out of the way. In winter, w/ snow it was a bit of an issue. In summer it must be charming.

On arriving 3 hours earlier than expected, the hotel was all locked up with no-one apparently present. A recorded phone message in rapid-fire French was available, to which we understand someone did respond by returning to the hotel directly. As there was no way of our knowing whether the message had even been received, we visited Beuzeville (abt 9 kms); on returning later to the reception, we were informed the beautiful dining room was closed (Monday). This was very disappointing, as being a main reason for our choice of hotel. It was suggested that we return to Beuzeville, where there was in fact but a single restaurant open on Monday evenings. The staff were amiable enough and breakfast was excellent; however, there seemed a 'take it or leave it' attitude. The purpose of our visit had been the final celebration of our Golden Wedding before returning to UK the next day, so all in all, it was a disappointing experience to us, and I should give only a lukewarm recommendation.

This is not exactly what I expect for the rooms for a hotel mentionned in "Guide de Charme"! Too much expensive for a very basic housing!

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Bring your boat to our deepwater Boathouse and Experience 'The Lincoln Cottage'. Perched high above The Broads, this Gilford landmark offers unsurpassed views from every room and its expansive decks. Designed to entertain, this period home offers all the modern amenities expected in a fine home, with the appointments and rustic charm of yesteryear. Enjoy 200 ft of private shoreline, a grand boat house with a 30' slip and a 24' slip, a large professional kitchen with 2 ranges, 5 ovens, 2 dishwashers, and a field stone wood burning fireplace in the living room. The bedrooms are all on the second floor; two bedrooms have queen beds, one has a twin bunk and twin, and the den has a queen sofabed. The 3rd level game room has a pool table, twin bed, gas fireplace, kitchen and bath. The views from this property are breathtaking. The home is across the street from the waterfront with a driveway across the street and leads down to the water. There is a waterfront swimming area where the natural ledge slopes gently into the lake, providing a natural stone beach.
I am a caretaker in charge of a very special home.
Robert Heinrich purchased this castle in 1995
This property is a well kept secret. The home was built in 1897 as a grand victorian cottage by AV Lincoln, the largest property owner in Charlestown,MA which was at the time the epicenter of Boston. Mr. Lincoln was the real-estate consultant for the railroad, which was booming at the time. Mr lincoln sighted the home perfectly in sech a way that it always is sunlit with the undisputed best view of Winnipesaukee and the Ossipee mountains anywhere.
Every day is beautiful from The Lincoln Cottage, rain or shine. Watching a weather event from here is alost as good as a sunny day. Everything you need for a home away from home is here at the Lincoln Cottage.
We spent a week at the house to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our children and their families. Plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was great for constant food preparation by someone. Lots of room to stand around and visit. I think the view is the highlight of the home. The waterfront area had plenty of chairs to visit or read. Robert was easy to work with and very accommodating.
My family and I just came home from an amazing 5 days at the Lincoln Cottage. First off, the owner/landlord was so accommodating and made sure we had everything ready for us upon arrival (we have a 1 year old and he was kind enough to find an awesome crib which my boy loved sleeping in and high chair) and even put out extra tables and chairs. He was so flexible and accommodating, he was a joy to work with. We did a lot of work planning for this trip and dealt with many owners prior to choosing this home. Robert was by far the best. The house is beautiful! Views are breathtaking! The game room on the top level is amazing and there was so much room for everyone to be comfortable. The kitchen ROCKS! I don't have anything but positives to say and I highly recommend this house. There are a lot of stairs which separate the levels but even with a 1 year old and my folks who are in their late 60s we were all fine. Definitely would rent again! Thank you Robert and the Lincoln Cottage for making our family vacation so memorable!
The Lake Winnipesaukee area is known as home of the first resort area in the United States. It is full of seasonal activities including everything from swimming to flying. The lake itself is 21 miles long and up to 9 miles wide. it is a 63 mile drive to travel the roads circling the lake. The lake is the foundation of a year round resort community featuring water sports, hiking golf and just about everything imaginable in the summer and all winter sport activities as well. The area is known for its exceptional fall foliage.

White Sox pitching coach: 'I don't give a [bleep] what our pitch count is right now'
May 3, 2010, 2:46 PM EDT
Just in case you thought Ozzie Guillen was the only member of the White Sox's coaching staff who likes giving expletive-filled quotes, here's pitching coach Don Cooper on Jake Peavy and the rest of his staff struggling:
You can talk about a whole lot of stuff–mechanics, this and that, and the other things–but it's time to get people out and try to figure a way to help us win games by fighting and clawing.
I can say I love to have low pitch counts, be in the seventh inning with 75 pitches. I don't give a [bleep] what our pitch count is right now. I want you to go out and give us a chance to win the [bleep]ing game. If that's five innings like John Danks did Saturday, it's five innings. If it's like the time before where Danks gave us eight, we won both games. We need to fight and claw. That's what's going on.
Cooper obviously knows far more about pitching than I ever will and has generally done a very good job with the White Sox, but I'm amused by the notion that, for example, Peavy's struggles aren't due to "a whole lot of stuff" like "mechanics" and are instead because he's not "fighting and clawing" enough.
Also, just generally speaking my experience is that it's never a good sign when someone says "this and that, and the other things." On the other hand, Cooper is definitely right to single out John Danks as a positive, because he's 3-0 with a 1.85 ERA and the rest of the White Sox's pitching staff is 7-15 with a 5.46 ERA.

Give me one [bleep] Vassily. Just one please.
That's laced?
- OsandRoyals - May 3, 2010 at 3:57 PM
i'm not sure he's saying that mechanics aren't the problem. I believe he's saying that the pitchers need to figure out how to win even if they have mechanical issues

Seattle Welding Classes with Program and School Information
There are a few schools within 35 miles of Seattle's downtown that have welding programs. Read an overview of three schools' programs, requirements and admission information to find out which school is the right one for you.
Welding Classes in Seattle
Students who want to learn welding have some options in the Seattle area. This article covers three public schools that are within 25 minutes of the city center. At the end of the article, a table compares some important statistics about the schools. Following that, learn about a couple of other schools in the area with welding classes.
- Seattle Community College - South Campus is about 6.5 miles from Seattle's downtown and offers welding certificate and associate's degree programs.
- Programs are also available at Lake Washington Institute of Technology, located about 15 miles northeast of Seattle in Kirkland, WA.
- 16.4 miles south of Seattle, students can find welding classes and degree programs at Renton Technical College.
Seattle Community College - South Campus
There are individual project options available for students and welders who are looking to update their skills during the course of one of these welding programs.
Welding Fabrication Technology Certificate
Students must earn 64-66 credits in order to graduate with this welding certificate. The program's curriculum covers print reading, welding symbols and welding theory. From there, students move on to topics involving different types of arc welding and cutting. In addition to these welding classes, students take courses in communications, business math and human relations psychology.
Associate of Applied Science in Welding Fabrication Technology
This associate's degree program contains the same core courses as the certificate program, in addition to classes in advanced fabrication, drafting technology, computers and pipe shielded metal arc welding. Students must earn 111-113 credits to graduate and must also complete an internship.
Lake Washington Institute of Technology
The welding technology programs at this school can prepare students to take professional certification tests. Courses also train students for work in manufacturing, construction and maintenance.
Certificate of Completion in Welding Technology
In this program, social science, written communication and quantitative reasoning are all topics covered in the core academic requirements. Students can learn about carbon arc, oxy-acetylene and plasma cutting, gas tungsten arc welding, gas metal arc welding and flux core arc welding. It typically takes five quarters to complete this program. The coursework of the program covers 75 credits.
Associate of Applied Science in Welding Technology
Students who choose to pursue the associate's degree program can select a focus in pipe welding, structural and plate welding, welding fabrication or aerospace manufacturing. This program requires 95 credits to complete and usually takes six quarters of study.
Renton Technical College
A counselor and an instructor interview, as well as placement testing, must be completed in order to enroll in these programs. The school's programs can prepare students for certification exams in welding.
Certificate of Completion in Welding
This program offers several classes on blueprint reading and gas tungsten arc welding. There are also courses on pipe welding, welding metallurgy and welding processes. Students can study shielded metal arc welding, as well as oxyacetylene thermal cutting and welding.
Associate of Applied Science in Welding
The associate's degree program offers the same listing of welding courses as the certificate program. Students, however, must also take 20 units of general education courses in subjects like psychology, applied algebra, communication and composition.
Comparison of Schools
The right school can be just as important as the right program. Read below to find out more information about the enrollments, community settings, tuitions and graduation rates for the three featured schools.

Orange County Support Groups Open House
Burbank Support Group Facilitator's Essay Posted on CNN
A Team Challenge Participant's Inspiring Story
As Team Challenge gears up for its triathlon season, ulcerative colitis patient, Grant Henry, gets ready for a challenge of his own. Henry aspires to participate in the IRONMAN World Championship with the greatest endurance athletes of all time to raise awareness and funds for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Henry entered the world-famous Kona Inspired, a contest that allows individuals to share their stories for a chance to participate in the World Championship.
Henry, a 29-year-old Los Angeles resident, has been battling the digestive disease for over six years. He has endured pain, multiple colonoscopies and extended hospitalizations. After joining Team Challenge and completing the Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon, he came back as the Greater LA honoree, continuing his support for the program. Henry made it his mission to raise awareness for those that endure the same pain.
"It started when I was 23—I was the epitome of health. Then, in an instant, my life completely changed," says Henry. "I bled a lot and had uncontrollable diarrhea. I have made it my mission to never let my illness stand in my way. I may not be one of the first people to cross the finish line, but when I do, that sense of accomplishment makes me realize that anything is possible."
Henry created a 90 second video titled "From the Bathroom to Kona" sharing his story with the world. He hopes to participate in the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona on October 12 on behalf of those suffering with IBD. To view and vote for his video, click here!
"I have achieved things that I would have never attempted if it were not for ulcerative colitis. Things that I used to say, 'I can't' to are now replaced with 'I can and I will!" says Henry. "I want to encourage others to push themselves, so I am continuing my adventure with Team Challenge to spread awareness."
On September 22, Team Challenge will be participating in the TriRock San Diego Triathlon, raising funds and awareness. For more information on the Greater LA/OC team, please visit http://ccteamchallenge.force.com/.
Join us this season to make a difference, to get in shape, to support a loved one who suffers from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, to make new friends, to lose weight, or even just to have fun! The possibilities are endless!
For more information on the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America or Team Challenge, please contact Jessica Dean at 310-694-3343 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Orange County Support Groups Seeking New Members!
PARENT NETWORK GROUP is facilitated by volunteers, Pamela George and Matt Bays. This group is a great way for parents of children with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis to learn more about IBD from world-class healthcare professionals, build bonds with area families, and enjoy group activities together. This group meets quarterly in Newport Beach near Fashion Island, and will have a team at the Take Steps walk in Irvine for any interested families.
SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY GROUP is facilitated by Sheila Rowan and Phil Hering. This group hosts speakers, shares the latest information and offers a supportive environment monthly. Meetings take place at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills.
NORTH ORANGE COUNTY GROUP is facilitated by Allison Miller and Darrin Pagenkopp. This group starts out with an icebreaker, hosts speakers, shares support and covers a monthly topic. Meetings take place at Los Alamitos Medical Center. This group also has a voluntary opportunity to join their team, Poo Crew, for the Take Steps walk in June.

Today on Current State: Canada and Michigan seek to strengthen economic ties; the anniversary of the last execution in Michigan; our first Great Lakes Month in Review segment; our Detroit's Water Renaissance series: The Rouge River part two; and a book about family secrets is the next "Great Michigan Read".
Exporting is big business in Michigan, and no country is more crucial than our neighbor to the north: Canada.
On this day 183 years ago, thousands of people gathered to watch the second and the last execution in Michigan. Stephen Simmons was sentenced to death for the murder of his wife. From this case eventually came the end of capital punishment in the State.
Water attracted early settlers to Detroit and water fueled its growth. Now it's an important asset to the city's recovery.
So far we've looked at lucrative walleye fishing on the Detroit River, daylighting streams, rebuilding shorelines and the destruction of the Rouge River. Today we explore efforts to clean up the Rouge.
This week we start our segment Great Lakes Month in Review. We'll take time each month to recap environmental news from around the Great Lakes Basin with Chicago-based commentator and journalist Gary Wilson.
Family secrets are often the stuff of suspenseful movies and fictional page-turners. Detroit native Steve Luxenberg discovered his family had one of its own—the existence of an aunt who had been shut away in a mental institution.

On Apr 11, we upgraded
Thoratec Corp.
), a leader in mechanical circulatory assistance devices to
Neutral, based on its prospects. The company is expected to
report first quarter 2013 results toward the end of Apr.
Why the Upgrade?
Revenues for Thoratec rose 17% year over year to $128 million
in the fourth quarter, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of
$119 million. Its fourth-quarter 2012 adjusted earnings per share
of 34 cents narrowly beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates of 33
cents. Thoratec has reported positive earnings surprises in three
of the last four quarters with an average surprise of 13.9%.
Over the last 90 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2013
has advanced by 2.5% to $1.67 while the same for 2014 has inched
up 0.5% to $1.98 over the same timeframe.
Thoratec's monopoly in the U.S. market, in the case of the
bridge-to-transplant ("BTT") therapy, has come to an end. It
followed FDA approval, in November 2012, for Heartware
International's (HTWR) Ventricular Assist System as a BTT for
patients with end-stage heart failure. Thoratec still enjoys
pre-eminence in the U.S. in the Destination Therapy ("DT")
market. Thoratec faces no near-term competitive threat in DT as
the HeartWare device is not expected to be launched in the near
Thoratec has a proven track-record in R&D. The company is
currently developing its next generation HeartMate III. Thoratec
accomplished first human usage of HeartMate Percutaneous Heart
Pump (HeartMate PHP) in Mar 2013. Next generation HeartMate
devices under development will be less invasive and easier to
implant. However, lack of pipeline visibility and relative lack
of milestones represent concerns.
Other Stocks to Consider
Thoratec carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We are more
optimistic about
Cyberonics Inc.
) and
Given Imaging Ltd.
), each of which carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and are
expected to do well.

Generally recognized as safe (GRAS) is an American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designation that a chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by experts, and so is exempted from the usual Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) food additive tolerance requirements.[1] The concept of food additives being "generally recognized as safe" was first described in the Food Additives Amendment of 1958, and all additives introduced after this time had to be evaluated by new standards.
On January 1, 1958, the FDA established the Food Additives Amendment of 1958, with a list of 700 food substances that were exempt from the then new requirement that manufacturers test food additives before putting them on the market.[2] On August 31, 1960, William W. Goodrich, assistant general counsel of the FDA, addressed the annual meeting (16 Bus. Law. 107 -1960-1961) of the FFDCA. The purpose of the meeting was the forthcoming March 6, 1961, effective date of the enforcement provisions of the "Food Additives Amendment of 1958", referred to as GRAS.[3]
GRAS Inventory[edit]
Around 480 food substances have had notices filed with the FDA since 1998, when FDA received its first GRAS notice.[4][clarification needed (what does this mean?)]
GRAS exemptions[edit]
GRAS exemptions are granted for substances that are generally recognized, among experts qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate their safety, as having been adequately shown through scientific procedures (or, in the case of a substance used in food prior to January 1, 1958, through either scientific procedures or through experience based on common use in food) to be safe under the conditions of their intended use.
Code of Regulations[edit]
The Code of Federal Regulations, Revised as of April 1, 2010,[5] includes (CFR) title 21 170.30(b) that provides general recognition of safety through scientific procedures requires the same quantity and quality of scientific evidence as is required to obtain approval of the substance as a food additive[6] and ordinarily is based upon published studies, which may be corroborated by unpublished studies and other data and information.
Intended use[edit]
The substance must be shown to be "generally recognized" as safe under the conditions of its intended use. The proponent of the exemption has the burden of proving that the use of the substance is "generally recognized" as safe. To establish such recognition, the proponent must show that there is a consensus of expert opinion regarding the safety of the use of the substance. The existence of a severe conflict among experts regarding the safety of a substance precludes a finding of general recognition.
Failure to qualify[edit]
When a use of a substance does not qualify for the GRAS exemption, that use of the substance is subject to the premarket approval mandated by the FFDCA. In such circumstances, the FDA can take enforcement action to stop distribution of the food substance and foods containing it on the grounds that such foods are or contain an unlawful food additive.[7]
A GRAS determination can be self-affirmed or the FDA can be notified of a determination of GRAS by qualified non-governmental experts:
- Self-affirmed. The manufacturer of this chemical or substance had performed all necessary research, including the formation of an expert panel to review safety concerns, and is prepared to use these findings to defend its product's GRAS status.
- FDA Response to GRAS notification. The manufacturer has performed all the aforementioned due diligence, and submitted a GRAS notification to inform the Food & Drug Administration of a determination that the use of a substance is GRAS. Following evaluation the FDA provides three possible responses: 1. FDA does not question the basis for the notifier's GRAS determination, 2. the notification does not provide a sufficient basis for GRAS determination, or 3. the FDA has, at the notifier's request, ceased to evaluate the GRAS notice.
A list of the GRAS notices filed since 1998 can be found on the FDA website GRAS inventory.[9]
