FILE - This March 14, 2013, photo, Gov. Gary Herbert makes remarks during Diversity Day at the Utah State Capitol, in Salt Lake City. The federal government has approved Utah to become the first state to have a dual-model health insurance exchange in which the state and the federal government divide responsibilities. Herbert first requested this arrangement in February, and the two sides had been negotiating since. Herbert said in a conference call with media Friday, May 10, 2013 that the state got everything it wanted and didn't back down. The plan allows Utah to continue to run its existing health insurance marketplace for small businesses. The federal government will run the state's individual exchange. Once the rule becomes official, other states will have the option to consider this plan too. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File)

In this , Friday, Nov. 6, 2009 file photo Michael Reagan, son of former US president Ronald Reagan, speaks during a news conference in Berlin. It sounds like a mismatch: a son of an illustrious Republican president supporting a Democrat-turned-independent, ex-Obama administration official in his quest to run for New York City mayor on the GOP line. But Michael Reagan is urging city Republican leaders to give Adolfo Carrion Jr. permission to run in the primary, saying it would strike a note of openness and diversity for a party that’s grappling with how to attract Hispanic voters.

In this photo taken on Sept. 15, 2012, Nay Myo Wai, chairman of Peace and Diversity party and a land rights activist, talks during an interview in Yangon, Myanmar. The landscape of Mingaladon township, northern outskirts of Yangon, tells a story of economic upheaval. Skeletons of factories for a new industrial zone rise from thick green rice paddies local farmers say were seized illegally by the Zaykabar Company, one of Myanmar’s most powerful companies. Human rights groups say land battles could intensify because companies tied to the military and business elite are rushing to grab land as the country emerges from five decades of isolation and opens its economy. Nay Myo Wai is leading the farmers in their fight against the company. (AP Photo/Khin Maung Win)
