FDA issues ANPRM to revise mandatory nutrients
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) in the Federal Register, Docket No. 2006N-0168, titled Food Labeling: Revision of Reference Values and Mandatory Nutrients. The ANPRM requests comments on what new reference values the agency should use to calculate the percent daily value (DV) in the Nutrition Facts and Supplement Facts labels and what factors the agency should consider in establishing such new reference values. In addition, FDA requests comments on whether it should require that certain nutrients be added or removed from the Nutrition Facts and Supplemental Facts labels. Current rules concerning DV have been in effect since 1993. Those rules were developed on diet and health information that was current at the time.
Every School Every Thursday -- Johnston
Name tags were distributed to students during base camp that morning. Each name tag included a table number. Students were instructed to sit at the corresponding table in the cafeteria. The goal of the activity was to get students involved in conversations and make new friends. Every table had discussion questions on them to help prompt conversation. Teachers encouraged their students to take initiative in the conversations and to get to know some new people. Students who could answer questions about others at their table won ice-cream bars. Mix-it-Up Day was a good source of discussion on social boundaries at Summit Middle School. Guidance staff followed the activity by giving staff resources for other suggested activities. Mix-It-Up Day pushes students to venture outside their comfort zones under controlled conditions.
TURKEY: WORRIES MOUNT OVER GOVERNMENT’S COMMITMENT TO ...
The recent vote in the Turkish parliament ending the ban on headscarves at public universities is raising concern about the future direction of Turkey. Some political observers are voicing concern that the government may be turning away from its broad reform agenda covering domestic democratization and Turkeys European Union bid. "The perception shared by many intellectuals is that this reform [over headscarves] will come at the expense of other reforms," says veteran Turkish journalist Yavuz Baydar, a columnist for the English-language newspaper Todays Zaman. "Some intellectuals [who support the government] are starting to have second thoughts about whether the government has a well-defined strategy for change for Turkey, and what triggered this doubt is the priority that the government has put on the headscarf issue." The constitutional reform package that ended the headscarf ban zipped through parliament, after first being introduced only a few weeks ago by the liberal Islamic Justice and Development Party (AKP) government.
