Toxic Substances Control Act Section 5 New Chemical and Significant New Use Notifications: Delay in Processing Due to Lack of Authorized Funding; Extension of Review Periods
Due to a lapse of appropriations and the Agency shutdown, EPA is extending (pursuant to TSCA sections 5(c) and 26(c) and 40 CFR 720.75(c)) the review periods for all TSCA section 5 Premanufacture Notices (PMNs), Significant New Use Notices (SNUNs), Microbial Commercial Activity Notices (MCANs), and exemption notices that were submitted to the Agency under section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA; 15 U.S.C. section 2604) before October 1, 2013, and for which the review period has not expired as of October 1, 2013.
There is a possibility that the chemical substances submitted for review in these TSCA section 5 notifications may need to be regulated by EPA under TSCA. The Agency requires an extension of the review periods to complete its risk assessments, to examine its regulatory options, and to prepare the necessary documents, should regulatory action be required. Therefore, EPA has determined that good cause exists to extend, under TSCA section 5(c), the review period for each such TSCA section 5 notification.
The duration of this extension period is equivalent to the duration of the shutdown, i.e., equivalent to the number of days accruing from October 1, 2013, and the date on which this shutdown terminated on October 16, 2013, and EPA operations resumed on October 17, 2013, or a total of 16 days.
Also, during the shutdown, new notifications submitted on or after October 1, 2013, through E-PMN/CDX or other methods were not processed. Consequently, the review period for any TSCA section 5 notice submitted during the shutdown did not begin until operations resumed on October 17, 2013. Information on the duration of the furlough can be found on www.opm.gov.

Alison L.CanadaHairDark BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairWorks Well, But Extremely Strong SmellAlthough hair rules seems to cater towards a different hair type than mine (mine is naturally very fine and straight), this particular hair spray works for all hair textures - mine included. The packaging is nice and light-weight and the product itself does a good job of keeping my styles in place. The main problem for me is the scent... it is SO strong and feels almost like you're breathing in toxic fumes if you accidentally get a whiff. I can only use this spray in well-ventilated spaces while also holding my breath. The good news is this only seems to be an issue when actually using the product. Once it's in your hair, the scent is no longer noticeable.3 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Advanced registration is required in the tryout by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include the following information: Name, DOB, Grade, School, Level, Position(s), B/T, Ht/Wt.
The goals of our team programs are to develop players on and off the field, educate them as to the process of being recruited/scouted and encourage them to be leaders in their school community. Our focus will be on the access to our organizational resources, education and development in a competitive environment. We play baseball the "D-backs Way," with an aggressive style on the field, and with a professional approach to the game. Our offseason training programs allow for personalized development under the watchful eyes of our Player Development staff.

By Superior Source5 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jul 2016
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.35 lbs (0.16 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Beware of Scorched-Earth Strategies in Climate Debates
With the apparent collapse last week of U.S. Senate consideration of a meaningful climate policy, it is important to reflect on what could be a very serious long-term casualty of these acrimonious climate policy debates, namely the demonizing of cap-and-trade … Continue reading

They're here to learn more about Occupy Portland: How it started, what it means and, perhaps most important, where it's going. It has been about 48 hours since the last vestiges of the encampments in the parks across the street were torn down, with cops and city workers carting off wet nylon by the truckload and encircling the dead leaves with barbed-wire-topped fencing.
Tonight's program is a 90-minute "teach-in" presented by the Dill Pickle Club—a city club for the iPhone generation—and it features teachers, Occupiers and press. Veronica Dujon, a fortysomething Portland State University sociology professor with a tight brown turtleneck and lilting Caribbean accent, is the most engaging of the group.
Veronica Dujon speaks at the 99% teach-in
"People are responding in the way they know how to," she tells an enraptured crowd. "It happens in Argentina, it happens in Bolivia, it happens in Brazil...and every time it happens, those who would prefer the status quo or those who do not understand the movement are quick to try and contain it."
After the presenters wrap up, a handful of audience members dart to a lonely microphone for the obligatory Q&A session. What happens, mostly, is bloviating—some of it passionate, some of it painfully disjointed.
"I go to a health club where I had a screaming argument with [City Commissioner] Nick Fish once," says Jeremy, a stocky middle-aged agitator in stiff brown Carhartts pants who rambles on without asking a question. "Well, he didn't yell back, he just walked away."
Suddenly, a well-curated teach-in becomes a microcosm for the same criticisms Occupy detractors love to point out: The movement's tent is too big, its fringe is too readily embraced. And now it has been evicted. In cities where Occupy is now less a physical presence than a collection of big ideas, some wonder where to look for the seeds of revolution that seemed to be sprouting two months ago. In Portland, it's not hard to find stories about regular people working to solve some of the problems that Occupy Portland spotlighted. Here are four of them.
The problem: Big businesses—especially fast-food chains—rob money from the local economy, ruin the environment and often exacerbate our country's health problems.
A solution: Redefining corporate success.
The solver: Burgerville CEO Jeff Harvey.
Burgerville's one-story headquarters in downtown Vancouver, Wash., looks like any other office building, save for the comically large knife and fork that serve as its front-door handles. Just through those doors, across from the desk of a bubbly receptionist, is an open office door belonging to Burgerville CEO Jeff Harvey.
Harvey's close-cut hair, rosy cheeks and wide frame make him as unassuming and folksy as one of Burgerville's restaurants. But like Burgerville itself, Harvey's looks are deceiving. His admission that he's basically vegetarian—you've got to eat the odd hamburger to be the boss—is a bit more surprising.
For 50 years, the family-run company has been inextricably linked to local farms and ranches. After all, its parent company, the Holland, started as a dairy. It wasn't until the '80s that then-boss Tom Mears gave the company an official mission: Serve With Love.
The phrase can seem trite to those outside the company, but when Harvey came to Burgerville eight years ago, he realized how seriously the business took its mantra, which he's helped expand on. To that end, Burgerville—which has 38 locations in Oregon and Washington—offers its employees $15-a-month healthcare plans and plays local music in its restaurants.
But perhaps most impressive is Burgerville's commitment to staying both green and local. The company has invested heavily in sustainability over the past decade, buying 100 percent of its energy from wind power, converting its cooking oil to biodiesel for its fleet of trucks, and investing in an elaborate in-restaurant composting program. (Burgerville's packaging is almost all compostable, though Harvey looks pained while addressing straws and salad-dressing packets.) The company's ingredients come almost exclusively from the Northwest, from hormone-free beef to cage-free hens: Even the dried cranberries it uses on its salads are from the Willamette Valley.
Burgerville CEO Jeff Harvey talks sustainability in this company-produced 2010 video
While there are financial benefits to being green—composting efforts, for example, save around $200,000 a year by reducing packaging and garbage-hauling fees—mostly it doesn't pencil out well. Burgerville is different because the yardsticks by which it measures success are different. The key to getting businesses to look beyond the basics has been "getting a business case that looked at all the potentials for benefit, as opposed to 'did it sell more burgers today?'" Harvey says. "That narrow look will never justify these sustainable approaches."
Burgerville, which is privately held but has reported annual revenues of more than $60 million, has looked at the idea of offering shares to the public, but ultimately backed out because it wanted to retain control of the direction of the brand.
Harvey uses the same sort of business vernacular to explain that he sympathizes with Occupy protesters. "The level of dissatisfaction is high across the board," he says. "That means wholesale change of social structures. I don't think we've got a model for that. I've long believed that business probably has a whole lot more to contribute to social solutions than government ever could. [But] how do you get businesses to talk about that with a conscience to the community and not the almighty dollar? I think the time is just about here."
The problem: The same big banks that caused the financial collapse are still doing shady shit with our money.
A solution: The 99 percent should keep its money in small, local banks.
The solvers: Move Your Money Portland's Rachel Blumberg, Sam Coomes, Neal Morgan and Lisa Schonberg.
The assembly of notable Portland indie rockers—Coomes fronts Quasi, Morgan plays drums for Joanna Newsom and Bill Callahan, Blumberg has drummed for the Decemberists and M. Ward, and Schonberg plays with STLS and Kickball—will probably never take the stage together, but they did manage to build a website. That site, moveyourmoneyportland.com, has thus far gathered more than 150 digital pledges from bands, venues and individual members of the music community who have pledged to put their money in local banks or credit unions. The site doesn't give advice on which local banks or credit unions people should consider—but group members agree that removing funds from national banks is a good place to start.
The widely circulated 2009 video made by Move Your Money advocates
Inspired by the international Move Your Money movement—launched by the Huffington Post in 2009 and based in part by lessons from the film It's a Wonderful Life—these local musicians-turned-activists say it's not just about the pledges. By attaching their names and faces to money moving, the group hopes to develop a grassroots model that can spread.
"Obviously there are people doing this exact same thing all around the world," says Morgan. "This is not a new idea, but we thought maybe this is a replicable model. The musicians do it in Portland, cool. Maybe the visual artists do it in Portland. Maybe the poets do it in Portland...I'm going to put some of the larger businesses in Portland on notice. We'll come knocking after this. Businesses that brand and advertise themselves as being community-focused and local, I'm going to ask them where they bank."
Morgan may not have to do much persuading. Portland's Mississippi Studios, which put its name on the Move Your Money website, switched from Bank of America in 2008.
"I would never go back in a million years," says Mississippi Studios founder Jim Brunberg. "Albina Bank doesn't have any of the hidden fees, and they call me if I'm stupid and about to bounce a check. As a small-business protector, they have made it possible for Mississippi Studios to weather the recession."
The Thermals' Hutch Harris switched from Chase to Advantis Credit Union after Morgan contacted him, and his band is in the process of evaluating its local options. "It was something I just didn't know very much about," Harris says. "For the band, you want to make sure you can deposit money on the road, and that's where Chase was good. But I guess a lot of credit unions are linked together."
Bands aren't the only entities evaluating where their money is kept. Taking a cue from the Occupy movement and similar legislation in Seattle, the City of Portland is considering a reassessment of its banking strategies. Occupy protesters should take credit (no pun intended) for the increased focus on banking politics, as well.
"You need the demonstration to bring the attention and build the energy," Morgan says. "But you need things like this that are concrete. That's what [Occupy] did for me: It made me do the research."

USU Eastern students Melissa Scheid, Yong Soo Kim and Arsene Mugisha stand by this year's version of a holiday tree in the school's library. The tree is built out of bound periodicals and then decorated in a traditional way.
The USU Eastern Library has a new centerpiece that will stand until the holidays are over.
It's a book tree.
The tree was the idea of Library Director Lori Brassaw who asked Public Services Manager Aimee Lauritsen to work on constructing it.
The tree is composed of library periodicals of different colors stacked up in a conical shape until they reach the tip of the book tree.
"I looked at different designs I could find so we could built it sturdy and stable and not have it fall down and hurt anyone," said Lauritsen on Wednesday. "The periodicals we used to build it are past print and they are available on-line now so using them for this project would not affect their availability."
Color was a consideration. A tree should be colorful (even though real ones are generally just green) so Lauritsen said she had a student worker pick carefully.
"I had her pull a lot of green bound periodicals and we used those in every other level and then filled in with various colors on the other levels," she said.
She said she doesn't know exactly how many books are in the tree but she thinks there are about 600. She says there are about 30 books on the first outside ring.
"All you can see is the outside circle, but we have also filled in the middle," she said. "It isn't hollow. If we hadn't filled it it could cave in."
While it is pretty much a hit with everyone that sees it, there is trepidation on the part of the student workers.
"When they see it they are torn," she laughed. "They think it is pretty neat but then they remember that they will have to be the ones that will reshelve all those periodicals and then they are not so sure. They say 'Wow, we are going to have to put all those books away.'"
The library is constantly looking for ways to display their wares and it seems there is no better way than to put them up in tree fashion.
The library stands in the middle of campus and anyone who wants to see the tree can come in during regular business hours (Monday - Thursday 8 a.m.-10 p.m., Friday: 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday: Noon-5 p.m. and Sunday: 2 p.m.-10 p.m.).
The tree will be taken down after the first of the year.

Salt I Knife
Out of Stock Product Number: 4976
Spyderco's Salt I features H1 (non-rusting steel). Salt I has a more rounded tip that's a bit thicker at the point. Since H1 was developed specifically for use in and around water, rounding the tip better met the requirements of cutting chores associated with boating and fishing. The Spyderco Round Hole is increased in diameter to 14mm facilitating easier access for gloved or wet hands. All inside/outside steel components (lock bar, pins and clip) have been treated making them impervious to rust and pitting. Volcano Grip texturing covers both sides of the FRN handle for friction-resistance to slipping. David Boye's locking lever dent is a standard feature that inhibits the lock from accidental release if the handle is gripped with great force. A matching black steel pocket clip positions for left/right tip-up portability. A hole running through the hollow clip screw makes a lanyard pipe for stringing thong or cord through when using around water.

JAY-Another game and another night of poor road conditions for the boy's hockey team from North Country.
They must really like that holiday favorite 'Let it Snow,' because each of the last two times out, the weather was frightful, but inside was indeed delightful, as the Falcons once again scored five third period goals, besting 1-3 Rice to stay undefeated at 4-0 in the young season.
"We pressured early, controlled the pace, but did not get any return on our efforts in the first two periods," said coach Andrew Roy.
It was 1-0 Rice after one period of play, but in the second Ryan Paul scored on a feed from Ross DeLaBruere and Logan Fortier to knot things up at 1-1.
After Rice went ahead later in the second, Paul struck again to make it 2-2 going into the third.
DeLaBruere and Fortier once more assisted on the goal.
The third period belonged to the Falcons penalty-killing unit, and specifically DeLaBruere, who had two short-handed goals and set up Paul's third of the game in the frame.
Said Roy, "It was important for us that Ryan got that hat-trick, as he and Ross had been dominant all game long."
Kody Halikas and first year man Ben Pecue had the other North Country goals.
Pecue has been more than up to the task in his first year playing at the Metro level, and Roy commented on how well he is doing.
"Ben is doing a good job of getting the puck to the net. He has a quick release, and he does a lot of the simple things well. With only three defenseman, we definitely leaned on him and Quentin Nelson a lot in this game."
While they showed up on the score sheet only once, the line of Adam Viens, Halikas and Travis Tetreault had a nice outing for the Falcons, sustaining pressure all game long, while doing a lot of important things that help a club win games.
It was another fine performance for goalie Chris Bronson, who turned away twenty-one shots in the game, while the Falcons put thirty-plus on the Green Knight net.
A tough opponent awaits North Country in the new year, as the boys will head over to Chittenden County to face off against the Colchester Lakers on Wednesday evening at 6:30.
