All air travel in or out of New York has been halted as airlines ground their planes in response to an intensifying blizzard across New England.
LaGuardia and Newark Liberty Airport in neighbouring New Jersey stopped all flights late on Friday afternoon, and John F Kennedy International Airport was doing the same by early evening, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's office said.
"The five New York City airports are open, but airlines are operating on a greatly reduced schedule, with more than 2300 flights cancelled as of mid-afternoon," Cuomo said.
"In the event that some travellers become stranded, airport personnel are preparing cots, blankets and other essentials to assist customers. All air travellers should check with their carriers regarding resumption of flights tomorrow."
Tom Bosco, general manager of LaGuardia, said there were "no further airline arrivals or departures tonight."
"We will strive to keep the airport open throughout the storm, even if the airlines have shut down for the night," he told NY1 television.
He estimated that in the case of a a foot (30cm) of snow - the worst case scenario forecast for New York - services would resume "probably by mid-morning."

My apologizes for the delay in announcing our Spar for the Spurtle winner. It's taken me a few days to organize my thoughts enough to share with you. The event was a resounding success and just about the most fun I've ever had at work (with the actual Golden Spurtle winning out). Here's the deal- it's hard to recap the whole thing and give you those little details that really made the day. At the end of this post, head over and check out all of our photos. The images convey much more than I can fit into a simple blog post. Props to our very own Julie Garner for the beautiful photography!
On Friday I awoke with the familiar butterflies that signal a day much anticipated. I didn't have to compete, but was I ever excited about the shindig and also a wee bit nervous about all of the details (would the bagpiper show up on time? would the burners work? would the judges find the store ok?).
Our three contenders kicked off the day with a personal tour with Bob, something few people get to experience and no one ever forgets. I can tell you about our mill history until I'm blue in the face, but it doesn't compare to hearing the words from Bob himself. I think they all left a little star struck. I hope it didn't affect their kitchen skills too much!
The Spar for the Spurtle competition kicked off at 2 pm at our Whole Grain Store and Visitors Center on Friday, August 26th with a beautiful bagpipe procession lead by Maire O'Brien. Matthew Cox, our former World Porridge Champion, and Bob welcomed the relatively small crowd of friends and family that had gathered to watch the festivities.
Celebrity judges Rachel MacRitchie, Leather Storrs and Kim Sunée waited with eager appetites to try these dishes for themselves while our three contenders got every last detail settled before Matthew started the clock. Each contestant had 30 minutes to create their dish from start to finish, making timing the key ingredient to success.
Naturally, the burners that worked fine an hour before the competition were finicky and not holding even temperatures, so we had a few minutes of head scratching and tapping on the burners to get them started again. It's so hard with this kind of thing. On the one hand, we don't want any of our contestants to have an unfair advantage. On the other hand, this kind of thing did happen at the real Golden Spurtle and no one was going around handing out extra minutes there. BUT, since we are stateside, we made up our own rules and got all the burners started prior to starting the clock. That didn't keep them from hiccuping during the competition, but at some point, you've done all you can do.
My memory is a little blurry, but I believe Jim Schafer was done first with his Nutty Coconut Oatmeal and had the advantage (or disadvantage depending on your perspective) to serve first. What I really liked about Jim's dish beyond the obvious (read: peanut butter and oatmeal) was that he really took to heart each ingredient. He made his own butter folks. You can't say that about someone very often. He also made his own almond milk and put a lot of thought into which kind of peanuts and peanut butter he used in his recipe. Additionally, he broke plating tradition and served each judge a unique bowl to demonstrate the versatility of his dish. I was impressed.
Rachel was next up with her Gingerbread Oatmeal with fresh custard. I think Rachel deserves a little bonus point for the sheer simplicity of her dish. It was very traditional porridge with gingerbread spices, molasses and fresh custard. Where Jim went elaborate with ingredients, Rachel went simple. To top it off, she had baked tiny gingerbread heart cookies to place on her dish. Double points for cuteness!
Merry served her Black Bean Porridge Patties last. Of all the recipes that were entered in our competition, this is one that really intrigued me. I love the concept of a breakfast food being used in a new (and savory!) way. Her patties were just so perfect and her pico de gallo looked simple and tasty.
After the judges had tasted all three dishes, they left and kept us waiting for what felt like forever. They came back and handed Bob the result. He happily announced that Merry Graham was our Spar for the Spurtle winner and would be joining our team in Scotland this October to compete in the Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Championship. Merry was very excited and simply beaming.
The judges told us they had a very hard time choosing, but ultimately chose her dish for its taste, creativity, and overall presentation. I was so glad it wasn't up to me. I think we'd still be there tasting and discussing!
What happens next? Matthew and Merry will train over the phone and work together to get her ready for the Golden Spurtle on October 9th. Merry will be working to get her recipe down to a single burner and learning the ins and outs of making a perfect pot of porridge—all under 30 minutes. We'll keep you posted on her progress and update you when the competition gets closer.
In the meantime, check out the photos and videos. I'll be working to get Merry's recipe along with all of the other amazing recipes that were submitted up here and on our website and will keep you up to date when new recipes are added.

Study To Guide Future Management of Eastern Wild Turkey
AUSTIN, Texas — Proof the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Eastern wild turkey restoration initiative is a booming success can be found in the woods, where thousands of hunters are currently chasing wily gobblers in more than 40 East Texas counties.
The ambitious undertaking to return Eastern wild turkeys to suitable habitat in Texas was made possible through a cooperative partnership between TPWD, private landowners and the National Wild Turkey Federation.
Systematically over a 10-year period beginning in the mid-80s, TPWD released flocks of wild turkeys onto sites identified as having sufficient habitat qualities to support a turkey population. Using funds from hunting license and turkey stamp sales, TPWD purchased wild-trapped Eastern turkeys from other states having surplus birds and the NWTF helped coordinate the deals. More than 7,000 Eastern turkeys were stocked.
"States had never paid for wild turkeys from another state," said Dr. James Earl Kennamer, the NWTF's senior vice president for conservation programs. "While it is illegal to sell wildlife, a plan was developed that allowed a state agency to donate wild turkeys to Texas, but be paid for their trapping costs or replacement value of the turkey. This approach paved the way to obtain the large numbers of birds necessary to restore turkeys in Texas."
And, while turkeys continue to flourish in many areas of East Texas, there are places where the birds have not done as well as biologists had anticipated.
"Some of our stockings in the past have been more successful than others, so the question we have is, 'What is going on?'" said T. Wayne Schwertner, TPWD turkey biologist. "We want the answer before we move forward with additional restoration efforts."
Schwertner will be looking to a group of researchers from Stephen F. Austin University to help solve the mystery. During the next three years, researchers will be using radio telemetry tracking devices to document movements, habitat usage and reproduction of recently released turkeys on three different sites in Nacogdoches, Anderson and Houston counties. About 80 wild-trapped turkeys from Tennessee and South Carolina were stocked at each location.
"The research effort will try to identify the effects on these birds of various management practices, such as prescribed burning, grazing, brush control and other habitat enhancements," said Schwertner. "We're also trying to identify what makes good turkey habitat because there are some places we stocked in the past we thought looked good, but the turkeys didn't, and other sites that we considered marginal habitat where they have done well. As we look at future restoration sites we'll have a better handle on which areas to concentrate on and which areas not to bother with."
As with the previous sites where turkeys were released, no turkey hunting will be allowed for several years on those properties. Private landowners volunteer their land and resources to assist in the effort.
"Once again, this project is showing the importance of partnerships between TPWD and private landowners to conserve resources," said Mike Berger, TPWD Wildlife Division Director. "We applaud these landowners for stepping up to the plate and offering their property as a research site."

Erickson joins Utah coaching staff
SALT LAKE CITY - Over the past 10 years, the Utah Utes have gone 97-34, five times reaching double digit season win totals.
But many of those wins came in the Mountain West conference.
Utah is just a game over .500 in two seasons in the Pac-12.
Games like a 10-point loss to USC and a 7-point loss to UCLA summed up Utah's 5-and-7 season in 2012, their first losing campaign since 2002 - and the first under head coach Kyle Whittingham.
While Wittingham retools the offense, he scored one big addition to his coaching staff in the offseason: former Oregon State head coach and Pac-12 veteran Dennis Erickson is now the co-offensive coordinator.
Whittingham hopes he can work some magic on a unit that ranked 73rd in the FBS in scoring offense at 26.5 points per game
Sophomore quarterback Travis Wilson will lead the new look offense, and is on board with erickson's vision.

A Reality Check on Facebook and Yahoo! Rumors

Although I think there is a possibility that the two companies could work together on this in the future, there are several reasons why you shouldn't believe this report....424 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

STUDENTS who have difficulties attending mainstream education premiered their first film yesterday.
The youngsters, aged 12 to 16, from Wizard Education saw the film, entitled Killer Tortoise, also submitted for a national award through Into Film, supported by professional mentors from the film industry.
The students created, directed and produced the film, a spoof horror, and were inspired by the research they were doing about their school premises — the old George pub in Eastcott Hill.
Headteacher Jo McAree said: "The students interviewed several local people about their memories of the pub and one or two mentioned that previous tenants had kept a tortoise in the garden but that it kept escaping. Others mentioned that there had once been a cellar here."
Support teacher Lee Cain added: "The students' creativity and imagination did the rest. They had some great fun building props, making fake blood, acting and using all the real life sound and camera equipment that was kindly loaned to us."
Working with Keith Phillips, a director from Ideal Films in Swindon, and James Eddings from Inner Sound Creative Development, the students learned about all aspects of creating their own film and accompanying music and sound effects. They even came up with a fun rap that plays over the credits.
They enjoyed the experience so much they are setting up a film club that will start in the autumn.
It was the first time Wizard had run a project like this but they hope to do it again soon. From September, they will be changing what they do as a school and will be focussing on 16- to 19-year-old foundation training for those that find mainstream post-16 options difficult. But there will continue to be a variety of engagement workshops and training places available, for example in music production and possibly more films.
l Anyone interested in finding out more about the film club, future film-making projects, and any of the foundation learning or engagement programmes offered by Wizard can either call 07747 804487 or visit www.wizard education.co.uk


text: Statehouse Beat: Poore joins House hopefuls By Phil Kabler July 13, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- As a resident of the 37th Delegate District, I was despondent about the possibility of losing Meshea Poore as my representative in the House -- until I was reminded that at this point in 1999, there were at least six or seven Democratic "candidates" for the open 2nd Congressional District seat.Ultimately, when the filing deadline closed in January 2000, there were only four Democrats on the ballot, and one was fringe candidate Beth Taylor. Among those who announced their candidacies in 1999 but ultimately opted not to run were Delegates Jon Amores and Mark Hunt.Were I advising Poore, I'd say stay in the House, where her star is rising to the point that there's been speculation she could be named Judiciary chairwoman, rather than attempting a quixotic run for Congress.(Then again, making a run for Congress makes more sense if one anticipates the House of Delegates flips Republican in 2014.)With money and name recognition, Nick Casey will be tough to beat in the primary, and once the primary's over, this is still a congressional district that Larry Sabato pegs as "likely Republican."(Based on that, I asked state GOP Chairman Conrad Lucas if the party has an ace-in-the-hole candidate who has yet to announce. He said not as far as he knows, and presumes Sabato's Crystal Ball rating is based on historical performance.)Also, Delegate Ron Walters, R-Kanawha, said rumors he's getting in the race aren't true, at least not at the present. *More changes at Department of Health and Human Resources: Interim commissioner for the Bureau for Children and Families Doug Robinson is retiring at the end of the month. DHHR Secretary Karen Bowling reportedly told Robinson she wants to put together her own team of commissioners. Robinson was appointed interim commissioner in July 2012 by ex-acting secretary Rocco Fucillo. Concerns are that its coming at a bad time with health-care reform in the works, since BCF runs the local offices where eligibility for programs like Medicaid are determined.Meanwhile, Fucillo is still on the state payroll, with his same salary of $98,400, and a new title as of July 1 of "DHHR executive."Word is, he's been instructed to gear up his private sector job search, however, and that he should not consider his current position to be long-term.Fucillo is probably unfireable, since that would be the final blow to any possible defense to the whistleblower suit brought by ex-DHHR counsel Jennifer Taylor and Susan Perry. *Following a recent item as to why John Raese is taking the demise of the Mountaineer Sports Network so personally, an industry insider sent this note: "The idea that JR is taking the loss of WVU Athletics so personally because he built MetroNews and West Virginia Radio Corp. is interesting, but I think John's ego is ultimately tied to coin."The loss of WVU football and basketball means WVRC can no longer bundle their programming. Let's say you own WPKR-AM in Ona. Let's also say you want to carry the Mountaineers. What WVRC could do was make you an offer you probably couldn't refuse: You can get the Mounties for your station, but you also have to clear their pre- and post-game shows, plus you'll get a deal if you take Sportsline, and Talkline with the steam-released Hoppy Kercheval. It would also be nice if you would consider being a MetroNews affiliate."How many non-WVRC stations carry Hoppy and MetroNews just to get WVU football and basketball? Will they continue to do so if those shows aren't bundled with sports? That is the very real threat to JR's radio empire."Having said all that, I am not a fan of West Virginia Media Holdings. Their production values are horrible. The coaches' shows they do are unwatchable. I can't imagine how they could pretend to have the talent or resources to do any of the non-conference games plus the weekly coaches shows."Points well taken. As noted here before, nearly 30 years ago, MetroNews built its identity through its ties to WVU sports, to the point it was able to vanquish rival statewide radio network Mountainet.What will be interesting to see, as the WVU/IMG Sports radio network is assembled, is whether Raese will swallow his pride and have WVRC stations sign on as affiliates. Better to have a small piece of the pie than none at all. *Finally, congrats to Jann Hoke, director of the governor's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, for receiving one of 48 national Henry Toll Fellowships from the Council of State Governments.Regarded as the nation's premier leadership development program for state government officials, state alumni of the Toll Fellowship program include Robin Capehart, Carte Goodwin, Brooks McCabe and John Unger.Reach Phil Kabler at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1220.

Fire Roasted Ketchup
I've been loving making random condiments this past year. I'm so glad I found these jewel jars to hold all of them. Hubby's favorite of the past year is definitely this fire roasted ketchup. I found the recipe from Rachel Ray when I was looking for a sliders recipe. I didn't end up using her sliders but this ketchup intrigued me enough to try it. Good thing I did!
This condiment provides a great firey flavor that compliments grilled food perfectly. One thing Hubby and I really miss about living in the Midwest is our grill. Our place in Boston is very small and we don't have any room to have a grill anywhere. We miss the ease of being able to just throw something on the grill for a quick meal.
The best thing about this recipe is that it's SO simple to mix up. AND, it makes two jars of ketchup. So you can keep one yourself and give one to a friend. I promise they'll love you for it!
And yes, I do pile that much ketchup on my burgers because this stuff is seriously awesome!
One Year Ago: Chocolate Oreo Rice Krispies Treats
Fire Roasted Ketchup
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1 (15-ounce) can crushed fire roasted tomatoes, about 2 cups
Salt and pepper
Heat a small sauce pot over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and garlic. Cook garlic 2 to 3 minutes then add sugar and vinegar, cook 2 minutes more and stir in tomatoes. Season sauce with salt and pepper and allow it to reduce 5 to 6 minutes more.

wow! looks yummy to me. 🙂Service Express
So at first I was concerned that it had corn in it. Then I saw that those little yellowy looking things were garlic. Now I'm sold! I'll be making this for my best friend's surprise birthday party BBQ. Thanks so much!
Looks awesome!
That looks YUMMY! I am totally making this!
This looks more like a cooked salsa. I bet it's delicious 🙂
This looks really fresh and easy to make! Thanks for sharing!
This is going to be a funny comment coming from me, for those who know me well. This recipe looks great, and I'm a person that hates regular ketchup! As one of the other commenters mentioned, this looks more like a salsa topping which is what I'm hoping for. Also, funny that you mentioned grills since we just purchased our first grill – perfect opportunity to try this recipe!

This looks soooooo yummy. I'm always looking for something new to spread on burgers, it is grilling season after all, well not today, but still.
Lots of yummy love,
Alex aka Ma, What's For Dinner
Thanks for visiting our blog. I like your version of bacon wrapped dates – have to try that too. Also love easy condiment making – looks fabulous

Category: Jane Doe
I recently watched one of the seemingly countless Masterpiece Theater/BBC/theatrical versions of Jane Eyre, and I couldn't help noticing how many times this particularly dreamy Rochester (Toby Stephens) repeated the heroine's name, imbuing it each time with various shades of sweetness, sadness, passion, and more–and it made me fall in love with not only him but the name Jane. And to start wondering what's become of baby-name Jane, one of the most classic girls' names.
For a long time Jane was so popular that she became the Generic American Girl's Name, as in Jane Doe/John Doe and G.I. Jane/G.I. Joe and the everygirl in the Dick and Jane readers. In 1935 there were 8,900 baby Janes born in this country, whereas in 2010, there were just a little over 800 in all of the U.S.
So why did Jane get shunted aside, while her male equivalents have survived and thrived? Was it because—unlike Mary and Elizabeth—she didn't have biblical roots? Was this strong, simple name a victim of over-smooshing—too many Maryjanes and Bettyjanes and Sarajanes for it to stand alone? Was it mortally injured by the pejorative phrase Plain Jane?

Sorrry, not for me :(I'll start off by saying that I wasn't willing to spend the $10 that these retail for, but I found them at an Ulta sale for $2.50.

I think that it will take just as much time to be good at applying these. Problem One: I have large hands and nails, so none of the ready size nails fit my hands. And remember, I am picky so I want them to fit. You do too probably, so I think there aren't many people that these will fit perfectly. Problem two: When I applied these to my fingers, there were some places that "stuck together". I used a pattern (it was a cute denim look), so it was hard to see the imperfections. But my big trouble is that I know the flaws are there and it creeps me out. Remember, I admit to being hard to please in the nail department. I would never be able to use these with a solid color. If I find another deal on them and there are some great patterns available, I will be tempted to try them again. My problems with these Salon Effects are that I found them generally hard to apply to my satisfaction, they didn't fit my hands, and the regular price is more than I am willing to pay for one manicure.

Not as good as Avon'sAvon's, which is no longer made, was thinner, and easier to apply. It really was an instant manicure. I used them for my toes, and the widest strip was not wide enough. It was difficult to apply, a lot of rubbing was necessary for it to adhere. Taking them off was pretty hard also. Once again a lot of rubbing with nail polish remover. On my second try, it was better. I got florescent yellow and pink. — 5 years, 3 months agoaimela | 200 reviews

Quick, easyQUICK TIP: I leave the clear top on so its easier to maneuver where I want it. Bottom line, easiest way to get perfect nails. I wish the designs were cuter though!! There are a few I love, but a lot are just weird. I usually use them for just one accent nail and then put the rest in a ziplock and they last a good long time! — 4 years agoDanielleTherese | 46 reviews
Just not impressedI wanted to love these but I am sorry to say that I just cannot. Really messy application. If you do not get them perfect they wrinkle up on the sides. Beautiful prints but the application ruins it. — 4 years, 1 month agolovemyshoes | 25 reviews

#21: Update from acarrico
Well, turns out I had to cut it out. And I have decided to give up keratin and every other "treatment." I have been using the Curly Girl method for approximately 8 weeks. My hair is FINALLY starting to show the benefits. I am actually quite happy with it - for the first time EVER. NOw that I am being nice to my hair -- it is being a bit nicer to me! ha ha ha. Who would've guessed! Wishing all of you the best...hopefully you won't have to cut it out like I did!!!

In his 1958 hippy classic, The Dharma Bums, the Beat author Mr Jack Kerouac made a prediction. "I see a vision of a great rucksack revolution," he wrote. "Thousands or even millions of young Americans wandering around with rucksacks." His vision was to come true, albeit not quite in the way that he had expected.
What he had called for was a mainstream adoption of backpacker culture - of the footloose, free-spirited way of life that he evoked so vividly in his novels. What happened instead was quite the reverse: the backpack was adopted by mainstream culture. This once humble piece of hiking and mountaineering gear has now evolved to a state of near ubiquity - and it's not just young Americans signing up for this new rucksack revolution.
Commuters slip their laptops into them before dashing for the rush hour train. Cool kids stalk hip neighbourhoods with Fjällräven and Herschel Supply Company bags slung over their shoulders, channelling the trend for all things Nordic and rustic. The likes of Messrs Justin Bieber and Cristiano Ronaldo strut around with eye-catching studded leather styles. Even one-year-olds are getting in on the act. When Prince George was seen with a kangaroo backpack on a recent trip to Sydney it caused an online stampede, and the style sold out within hours.
Of course, the rise of the backpack is hardly surprising, when you consider its intrinsic practicality. But its success, particularly among men, is down to more than that. It's a symptom of an overarching trend towards heritage workwear. The backpack hints at adventure, and of the spirit of the open road; it carries with it, in other words, that romantic notion of which Mr Kerouac spoke.
The backpacks available on MR PORTER can be roughly divided into two categories, those best for use "on the road" or "on the town". The former are functional, rugged and built for adventure - even if to you that means nothing more than venturing across the Williamsburg Bridge in search of a new pop-up bar. The latter have all the fundamental qualities of a backpack, but are constructed instead from luxurious materials, and are not exactly intended for mountaineering use. We've picked out three of each.

Pre-draft camp lacks star power
By Chad Ford
ESPN Insider
# Chad Ford's mock draft: Standard version | Slideshow version
CHICAGO -- After spending Monday in fantasy camp at Hoops Gym, it was time to get back to reality at the NBA Chicago pre-draft camp.
Once again, the roster is proving to be a disappointment. The biggest names in the camp are Duke's Chris Duhon and Xavier's Romain Sato. The only guys with a realistic shot at being picked in the first round -- Providence's Ryan Gomes, Mississippi State's Lawrence Roberts and St. Joseph's Delonte West -- will likely pull out and return to school. It's highly unlikely that any of these guys will get promises given the volatility of the draft and they'd be crazy to take the risk right now.
After watching an international dream camp in Treviso, Italy last week, the best international name the Chicago camp could muster was Serbian combo guard Ivan Koljevic.
The camp is so diluted that Western Carolina's Kevin Martin and JUCO star Donta Smith decided that the camp wasn't worth their while and a staggering 23 players from the Portsmouth Invitational are making repeat appearances here.
OK, enough with the complaining. There are some interesting players here in Chicago. Every year someone comes out of the woodwork and plants himself firmly in the first round. Last year it was Troy Bell and Dahntay Jones who played their way in. Who has a shot at doing it this year?
Insider talked to some GMs in the building on Tuesday evening, and these are the 11 guys they'll be watching closely.
Romain Sato, SG, Xavier
Sato had a solid college career and has several things going for him that could turn him into a good NBA rotation player. He's strong, athletic has very long arms and has a defensive intensity about him that has teams interested. He's been working out very well. If he can dominate here, Sato could go in the late first round to a team looking for a player who can step in right away.
Tony Allen, SG, Oklahoma
Allen is another terrific defensive specialist with long arms, great athleticism and the ability to score when his team needs him. Before all the underclassmen began flooding the draft, scouts believed he had a shot at the late first round. With a great performance here, he could get back there again.
Trevor Ariza, SF, UCLA
Ariza has zero buzz right now. He needs to be here. His specialty is perimeter defense, but he's going to have to show a special skill here to get back into the first round. He has the ability to play point forward at the next level and will need to show it here.
Rickey Paulding, SG, Missouri
At on time, Paulding was considered a candidate for the lottery, but a lackluster senior season killed his buzz. His athleticism is always on display, but if he can start hitting 3s with consistency, Paulding could help himself.
Chris Duhon, PG, Duke
Bernie Bickerstaff claims that Duhon could be a nice NBA journeyman with a lot of work. Oh, how the mighty fall. Duhon, like Paulding, was once thought of as a lottery prospect. Was the Duke system to blame for his sorrowful junior and senior efforts or was Duhon just exposed? Scouts are waiting to see how he fares in a more wide-open system.
Antonio Burks, PG, Memphis
Like Sato, Burks is getting a lot of buzz these days after a string of impressive workouts. He's lightening quick with the ball, has a good NBA body and knows how to score. He was just so-so in Portsmouth. Can he turn it on here?
Arthur Johnson, PF, Missouri
One thing will determine Johnson's stock at the camp. One is official measurements. Is he really 6-foot-9 as he claims or is he closer to 6-foot-7 as scouts claim? Teams like his skills and he should do well here, but the size thing will kill him.
Bryant Matthews, SF, Virginia Tech
Matthews turned a lot of heads at Portsmouth with his athletic play. He was a big-time scorer and rebounder at Virginia Tech. If he can show some of that against the better talent here, he could secure a spot in the second round.
James Lloreda, PF, LSU
Had a solid year at LSU before injuries ended his season early. This is the first look many NBA teams have had of him and they'll be playing close attention. If Lloreda measures a legit 6-foot-9 and plays with his trademark physicality, he could help himself.
Herve Lamizana, F, Rutgers
Lamizana is a very athletic player who has caught the eyes of scouts for the past two years. He's probably a second-round pick for sure, but a solid performance here could really help his stock. One of the few guys here who still has a lot of upside.
Tim Pickett, SG, Florida
Pickett has been a workout wonder, a kid who's buzz has steadily risen throughout the draft process. Shooting is his forte, but he's another one who will rise and fall based on what he measures. He claims he's 6-foot-4, on the small end for a two guard. If he's below that . . . forget about it.
Chicago sleepers
Ronald Murray has become the patron saint of guys from small schools here in Chicago. His breakout performance for the Sonics this season guarantees that these guys will get a close look by scouts this week.
Chris Garnett, C, Indiana Southwest
Glad to see that the NBA relented and let Garnett in. He wasn't invited to Portsmouth, angering some scouts who wanted to see him against better competition. He was pretty dominant in the NAIA. He's got good size and good athleticism for a big man. Lots of questions about his head.
Ricky Minard, G, Morehead State
Great athleticism. Does a little bit of everything. His 5.1 apg have some scouts wondering if he could be the second coming of Murray.
Rich Melzer, SF, Wisconsin River Falls
Melzer didn't do much at Portsmouth, but he's been playing to good reviews at individual workouts. Melzer can get it done inside and outside. A few scouts are very high on him.
Jackie Butler, PF, Coastal Christian Academy, VA
Butler, a former McDonald's All-American, wanted to declare for the draft straight out of high school. When no one bit, he went off to prep school and put up monster numbers (29 ppg, 17 rpg) for his team. He's got good size, athleticism and a body for the four. He could do wonders for his stock with a dominating performance here.
Beno Udrih, PG, Slovenia
Udrih is a draft-eligible Euro with good size for the point guard position. He has the ability to score, is a good shooter, and has some big time experience around Europe. Several teams drafting in the late first round are pretty high on him.
Sergei Lishouk, PF, Ukraine
Several international scouts are pretty high on him. He plays in the Ukraine, making him fairly difficult to scout. Is averaging good numbers over there. Despite his size, 6-11, he likes to shoot it from the perimeter.
Marko Tomas, SG, Croatia
Tomas had a little bit of a buzz going at the Reebok Eurocamp before getting injured. He puts up pretty good numbers in Croatia and knows how to get to the basket. His shooting has also improved. Most likely he'll pull out of the draft, but this could be a good showcase for him down the road.
Missing in action
Who isn't in Chicago is just as interesting as who is. Some decided to skip the camp because they're confident in their draft stock. Others weren't invited at all. Here's a look at six guys who should be here, but aren't.
Roko Leni Ukic, PG, Croatia
Ukic would be one of the top two or three point guards in this camp, but he never received an invite. What gives? A source on the selection committee for the NBA claims that they thought Ukic had the talent to be here, but left him off the squad because they believed he probably would pull out of the draft. Huh? Ukic was one of the few guys who could've propelled his way into the first round with a strong performance here. Had he done it, he would've stayed in the draft. The NBA screwed this one up big time.
Roko-Leni Ukic
Kevin Martin, SG, Western Carolina
Martin received an invite, but pulled out of the camp at the last second, stunning just about everyone here. What gives? He's had solid workouts and decided he'd be better off doing a public workout for teams on Wednesday. Martin might be shooting in an empty gym. He could've put up big numbers here.
Dorrell Wright, SG, South Kent Prep
Wright too received an invite, but pulled out on Monday. Wright has played well in workouts the past few weeks. Did a team get nervous and make him a promise? Probably not. But from what I've picked up here, he probably got enough praise to convince him that he didn't need to play here. Wright, too, could've been showcased here. I think his stock is higher than Martin's, but it would've been nice to see what he could do against more talented players.
Lionel Chalmers, PG, Xavier
Chalmers amazingly didn't get an invite to Portsmouth or Chicago despite being one of the best players in the NCAA Tournament this year. The rationale was that NBA teams had already scouted him enough. You could say the same thing about 15 other, less talented college seniors in the camp. This is a real head scratcher. Chalmers may not have a shot at the first round, but neither do most of the guys here.
Cleiton Sebastiao, C, Brazil
The big guy from Brazil should be here. I don't know whether he received an invite (last time we checked with his agent he hadn't) or not. But if he didn't, it's a shame. Here's a guy who teams really need to see play 5-on-5 basketball. In workouts he can look impressive, but no one knows if he can play basketball. Now it looks like they won't find out.
Darius Rice, SF, Miami
Rice didn't receive an invite to Chicago, putting the final nail in his NBA coffin. He was pretty bad in Portsmouth, but on talent and potential, he's way ahead of some of the players here. He deserved a second chance.

Marketing Wisdom From the Mouth of a Babe
It is often said that children speak with great wisdom. And while my nine-year-old daughter is incredibly bright, I haven't often thought of her as wise. She's cute. She's nine. But is she wise? Last week, I saw an article about her favorite pop star, Taylor Swift, doing something incredibly sweet for a cancer-fighting teenager (here's the article — it's nice). I thought it would be good for my daughter to know something more about her idol than the teenage romances that are typically weaved through her lyrics — so I sent her the article link in an email.
This weekend, when she finally got around to reading her old dad's email (I think she filters me to a "read later" folder), she called me over to the computer. She had just pulled the article up. Without hesitation, she asked, "Dad, do I have to read this? Where is the video?" After telling her she'd have to invest a little effort into READING, I couldn't help but note how she solidified in my mind what is sure to be a future short on text and heavy on digital images.
Consider the following:
Comscore reported that 182 million U.S. Internet users watched online video content in December 2011, at a whopping average total of 23.2 hours per viewer. The total U.S. Internet audience watched 43.5 billion videos.
YouTube reported in January that daily video views topped four billion, an increase of more than 30 percent over the last eight months.
And marketers are responding. This March, eMarketer reported 49 percent of advertisers will increase their spending on videos, while only 2 percent said spending would decrease in this area.
And if you're thinking video isn't as relevant in the B2B marketing space — think again. Our own TriComB2B research on the considered purchase process confirmed that 51 percent of B2B buyers have used online video to gather information as part of the buying process.
So, if you're going into the copywriting field, be prepared to write video scripts, not brochures. Getting ready to build a website? Find a home for some video, especially if your audience consists at least partially of nine-year-olds.
Writing a blog? Oh. I guess this should have been a vlog.

ANYONE who believes that gold is the only currency worth winning in athletics and the other medals are second rate should talk to Emily Hutchinson, writes KEVIN FAHEY.
It's doubtful any other athlete more delighted or proud at the two-day 84th English Schools' Championships than 17-year-old Hutchinson after she won a bronze in the senior girls' shot.
"I am still buzzing with it all," said Hutchinson, 48 hours after her triumph at the Alexander Stadium, Birmingham.
"It makes it all that much better coming after a few years when the medal proved to be so elusive. It is really exciting and rewarding to finally win my first English Schools' medal."
The Devizes School sixth form student, from Bowerhill near Melksham, is certainly no overnight sensation. Clearly talented – she finished sixth in the junior girls' shot on her debut in 2011 – Hutchinson has also applied hard work and dedication to her sport.
She improved to fifth in 212 and fourth last year before finally making her big breakthrough as a first-year senior.
"It was nerve-wracking when I first started out doing the English Schools but over time I have become more confident and have also trained more so things have become easier and I have finally got my reward," added Hutchinson.
"I am relieved really and it is definitely my best ever achievement. I have won at county and south west level but never at the nationals and to finally stand on the podium was amazing.
"It is definitely the highlight of my career so far."
In contrast, rookie Grace Cambers must wonder what all the fuss is about after celebrating her debut in the event, in her first season at athletics, with victory in the junior girls' high jump.
Relying on natural talent – she has never received any formal high jump coaching – the 14-year-old, a pupil at St Mary's School in Calne, finished joint first with Rebecca Hawkins, of Kent, as both girls cleared 1.69m.
The top five girls all cleared the same height and failed at 1.72m, meaning the medals were decided on the number of failures at previous heights. Chambers and Hawkins cleared their heights first time so could not be separated.
"Grace was absolutely thrilled," said proud mum Anna.
"She has always liked athletics and when we lived in New Zealand she won a 100m title in Auckland but this is the first season she has tried the high jump and hasn't had any coaching yet.
"The people at Wiltshire Schools have been incredibly supportive to her and Grace will shortly join Team Bath as well."
One of the unluckiest Wiltshire athletes was Sheldon School's Gemma Shepherd.
Her coach Adrian Clover had predicted that the 16-year-old would produce her best on the big occasion and she did that with a season's best time, but cruelly for the second successive year she was forced into fourth.
Shepherd kicked hard in the final 200m and seemed to have secured bronze only for her rival to rally and deny her that prize.
Emily Dixon's fears that recent niggles had robbed her of her sharpness and a little self-confidence proved well founded but the St Augustine's School student did make the final and came sixth.
The 2013 medallist Grace Davies-Redmond of St Laurence School, Bradford on Avon, admitted she has been struggling for form this season as she makes technical adjustments, which should benefit her long term and failed to progress through the heats.
The other county gold was won by Salisbury's Sophie Merritt in the senior discus.

Community college security guard charged with stealing underwear
Thu, 27 Mar 2014 15:51:17 GMT —
Authorities say a security guard for a western New York community college has been charged with stealing underwear and swimsuits at a student apartment complex.
State police say they started an investigation after receiving information from Immigration and Customs Enforcement regarding possible burglarizes that occurred at Genesee Community College's Village Apartment Complex in the Town of Batavia.
Troopers say that 28-year-old Matthew Lenhard of Corfu, a security guard at the complex, entered at least six apartments to steal undergarments and swimsuits. Several of the garments were recovered at his home.
Lenhard has been charged with burglary and criminal possession of stolen property. He was released after being arraigned.
It couldn't immediately be determined if Lenhard has a lawyer.

A Healthy Investment Idea
I've written columns recently focusing on consumer discretionaries, which haven't been as bad as other sectors amid market weakness. Another less-bad sector has been health care, with a year-to-date gain of 13.8%.
A top price gainer in the sector backed by good earnings performance is Gilead Sciences (GILD), up nearly 13% so far this month. The bulk of the gains came on Nov. 12, when the stock gapped up on news that a combination of three drugs had a 100% success rate in treating 25 patients with the hepatitis C virus. Earnings performance has been on the decline recently, though revenue has grown at double-digit rates in each of the past four quarters. Analysts expect 2012 to wrap up with earnings per share of $3.85, which would be down a penny from 2011. In 2013, earnings are expected to rise 14%, to $4.39 per share. A glance at a weekly chart immediately shows you that Gilead tends to have a wide-and-loose trading character, making it more challenging and potentially frustrating than many large caps....349 more words left in this article.

Protein Differences
Whey Protein
This protein from milk is a by-product of cheese making. About 20% of the protein in milk is whey and 80% is casein.
1. Whey is the highest quality protein, better than all other animal proteins.
2. Digests fast; won't leave you feeling full.
3. Supports immune health from certain protein components.
4. High in BCAAs (branched chain amino acids), important for bodybuilders and dieters since BCAAs can be used for fuel, potentially sparing muscle tissue.
5. Good for lactose-sensitive people.
1. Because it digests fast, it won't keep you satisfied for very long.
2. Lower in naturally occurring glutamine than milk (casein) proteins, which is why glutamine is added to some formulas.
Casein is the predominant protein in milk. For example, the protein in cheese and cottage cheese is casein. Sometimes called calcium-, sodium- or potassium-caseinate.
1. This 'slow' digesting protein keeps you full longer since it must form a gel during digestion before it is absorbed. This slower transit time may extend the exposure of the protein in the intestines and may help increase absorption.
2. Has a naturally high glutamine content, higher than whey, soy or egg.
3. Along with whey, casein is one of the best proteins for building muscle.
4. Very low in lactose.
1. Some people have allergies to casein protein. If you have milk allergies from lactose only, then casein should not pose any problems.Egg Protein (egg white or egg albumen)
This protein used to be the 'gold standard' that all other proteins were measured against, until whey protein came along. Most formulas contain very little egg protein.Strengths:
1. Excellent amino acid profile with sulfur-bearing amino acids.Weaknesses:
1. Slightly bitter taste.
2. People unjustifiably perceive it to be high in cholesterol. But the bad rap on egg comes from the yolk, not the egg white. Protein powders use egg white.
Soy protein is processed from the soybean plant. Most of the fat, fiber and carbs are removed. Since it is a vegetable product, it has no cholesterol.Strengths:
1. Reduces heart disease risk.
2. May help with normal thyroid function to keep your metabolism steady.
3. High in glutamine, about the same as casein.
1. Not as high quality of a protein due to limiting essential amino acids.
2. Not as good as whey or milk proteins for building muscle.
3. Does not taste very good compared to whey or casein.

Maddon wants to see more from Hellickson
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Prior to Friday, Joe Maddon had enjoyed what he had seen from Jeremy Hellickson. The Rays skipper just wanted to see more of it.
In 14 of Hellickson's 31 starts last season, the right-hander lasted fewer than six innings. In all but three of those outings, he threw 90 or more pitches.
Throughout Spring Training, Maddon has preached efficiency to the No. 2 starter on his staff. He had appeared to be turning a corner before laboring through his three innings on Friday, when Hellickson allowed eight runs on seven hits and two walks. He threw 72 pitches and struck out three.
Maddon enjoyed Hellickson's two outings prior to Friday, as the 25-year-old limited the Tigers to three runs on six innings on March 19 and completed seven frames against the Yankees last Sunday.
"I felt great the last two outings," Hellickson said after his Friday outing. "My command was right where I wanted it to be, and that's why it's pretty frustrating today. I thought I was right where I wanted to be. It's just one of those days, but it's pretty frustrating."
In six Grapefruit League outings, Hellickson, the 2011 American League Rookie of the Year, has compiled a 6.75 ERA, yielding 17 runs on 33 hits in 22 2/3 innings.
"The stuff out of his hand is really good," Maddon said before Friday's game. "Overall, it's commanding the fastball, to see if we can pick that up a little bit better."
It's a simple message, and one Maddon has delivered to all of his starting pitchers. The longer the starters last, the easier the burden on the bullpen.
"The thing I talked about is pitching to contact," Maddon said. "Probably the only exception would be when they get to two strikes and need a strikeout. I would just like to see our guys follow that and if we can get all of the starters doing that, then it would place less stress on the bullpen.

Tribe moving forward with Santana's transition
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Indians manager Terry Francona has been impressed with how Carlos Santana has looked at third base this spring. Cleveland plans on moving forward with the catcher's transition, and will have a meeting in the next few days to map out a plan for the rest of camp.
On Friday, Francona said the third-base situation will become more complicated soon because of position players starting to play in consecutive Cactus League games. The Tribe's manager said he needs to figure out how to properly divvy up playing time between Lonnie Chisenhall and Santana.
"It's going to get a little interesting for me here in the next week or so," Francona said. "That's when guys start playing back-to-back days, and we may not be certainly ready to make a decision [about third base]. So we're going to have to be a little creative, because I don't want to short either one of them at-bats."
Asked when Santana might add catching back to the equation, Francona did not have a clear answer.
"I would say in the next three or four days, we're going to sit down and talk through it," Francona said. "It's a little bit of uncharted waters. You don't see anybody playing third and catching in the big leagues, but if he's able to do it, it opens up a lot of different things. The first thing we're going to do is sit and talk."
Santana has looked more comfortable at third base during workouts than in Cactus League games up to this point, but Francona said the team is more focused on the effort behind the scenes. The manager said there has not been enough in game scenarios yet to properly evaluate Santana's progress.
"Carlos looks fine," Francona said. "If he is the third baseman, you're not going to know how he handles it until he's asked to handle it. How many balls have been hit to him? Four? That's just not a fair sample size. You almost hope people hit balls to him.
"But then, if he makes an error in Goodyear, do you say, 'Oh, he can't be our third baseman?' I think we go more on his daily work and things like that. That's all been really good."

The most luxurious wrap from Ellevill in 50% silk and 50% bamboo. Two colored in green and blue. So supersoft!.
All Ellevill designs from the new factory have hemmed rails.
Paisley pattern is a droplet-shaped vegetable motif of Indian and Persian origin, similar to half of the Yin yang symbol. The pattern is sometimes called "Persian pickles" by American traditionalists, especially quilt makers as far back as 1888.
In Sanskrit the design is known as mankolam and has long been used in India. It resembles a mango and has sometimes been associated with Hinduism.
Some design scholars call the distinctive shape boteh and believe it is the convergence of a stylized floral spray and a cypress tree: a Zoroastrian symbol of life and eternity.
The modern French words for paisley are boteh and palme, the latter being a reference to the palm tree, which, along with the pine and the cypress, is one of the traditional botanical motifs thought to have influenced the shape of the paisley element as we now know it.
In Pakistan, paisley designs are widely termed the carrey design. Carrey in Urdu means mango seed.
Ellevill wraps are designed by Ellevill and machine woven in India.
Give perfect support to your child, both small and toddler, optimal comfort and gives no pressure spots for either child or adult.

Our team is not about excuses so instead of lamenting the fact that we were shorthanded we will just congratulate the 76ers on a very well played game. They have a very nice team and we parallel each other in many ways. They have a very strong bench and have shooters that can make you pay for backing off of them. They are physical on defense and have a couple of very athletic players who can use either length (Young) or strength (Iguodala) to make you very uncomfortable.
So hats off to them, they won fair and square. Do I think that it might have been different with our other players? Yes, but that does not imply that I think we would have cake walked to a win. They are a good young team.
However having said all of that Im not worried about tonights loss other than the fact that it goes in the L column. This upcoming week is going to be a test to say the least but lets be honest with ourselves here, we need to know if this team is really about being one of the best in the east or if we are just going to at the top tier of the lower end.
Now I pray to God that Tylers eye is ok and that he can go vs. the Hawks. If he misses then our entire teams chemistry and physical play changes. If both he and Hill are out then I think that this is going to be one painful week.
Lets do the good the bad and the ugly tonight.
The Good:
Team effort: I was proud that we battled hard all night long, not only were we missing players but the players who we were counting on to pick up the pace struggled (in a couple of cases that is putting it mildly). But overall I think the teams energy was right where you wanted it to be, I think everybody left everything on the floor but at the end of the day we are still suffering from an amazing lack of ability to hit open shots.
Roy Hibbert: Spencer Hawes has done a magnificent job of resurrecting his career in Philadelphia. He has become one of the good young centers in the NBA and I think the 76ers should be happy to have him. However he couldnt guard Roy and if anybody would have been able to get the ball to Roy (or better yet hit an open shot to take the double team option away) he would have had a monster night. But between his ankle, fatigue and our guards amazing ability to not get a good entry pass he just outplayed Hawes. Again, that sound you hear in the background is the cash register ringing with David Faulk pushing the buttons.
Tyler Hansbrough: When he was on the court he was very effective and was really on his way to fouling out the front line of the 76ers. However a scratched eye took him out of the game so he didnt have the stat line that he could have. Am I the only one who panics whenever Tyler gets a hit to the head? I just do NOT want anything to affect his balance or make him miss games. He is FAR too important to our club this season for him to miss any extended time.
Dahntay Jones: Ok I know this isnt going to be popular because yes there were a couple of times that the offense stalled when he was in the game. But overall I thought he did a very admirable job of filling in for Danny and he certainly had one of the most spectacular blocks of the season when he jammed Hawes right at the rim. He shot 50% from the floor so in a way he was an improvement over Granger from that aspect anyway. Yes he has his warts but I think he did exactly what you would want the backup to do when they have to step into a starting role.
David West: He tried to keep us going. He is having a very rough time getting his shot to fall (like everyone else on our team) and Im beginning to wonder if he isnt further out of shape than what we originally thought. But overall he played a smart game and his rebounding was solid. I probably would put him in the decent category other than good but well go with this for now.
The Bad:
Lance Stephenson: He would have to improve his game from tonight to be bad, in fact he was abysmal. He had a good steal and a nice break away, but other than that? If it were possible to assign someone to the D-League mid game I would have been all for it. I dont get it to be honest with you. Other than a decent ability to handle the ball and make some very good passes I havent seen really a lot of reasons why we are force feeding this guy min. and Im not a Lance hater at all. But he cant shoot, is a horrid defender and is sometime careless with the basketball but other than that I guess he must be a heck of a player.
Darren Collison: This was just not Darrens night. Hes been very good for most of the season but he couldnt make a clean pass in the post to save his soul tonight and obviously shooting was not on the menu either. Ill give him a pass because for the most part this season he has been very good. But even his defense took a step backwards tonight.
Paul George: SNL cast members are (or were Im not sure if they still do or not) called not ready for prime time players. Well, um yea. Dont let the decent stat line fool you, this was not a good game by the young talented player at all. Lots of sloppy dribbling, a few head down drive to the lane and charge over the defender when other options were available and once again like everyone else just some very poor shooting. Now he did do a good job on the glass so I want to credit him with that. Hell do better next time.
The Ugly:
A.J. Price: Ok his overall game was not ugly, it was in fact bad, but Im sorry two boneheaded plays in the 4th quarter were just too much for me. I dont know which was worse his pull up jumper that he missed only to eventually get the ball back and take and miss the exact same shot again with almost no time off of the clock and not looking for anything else or his brilliant pass behind Collison that blew a four on one fast break. Now mind you both of these plays occurred when the game still mattered and in could have been a chance for us to get some momentum, not saying it would have, but this didnt help. Its early in the season for him and I still would prefer him on the floor to Lance but sorry this just wasnt his best game, not by a long shot. To his credit though he did do a better job on defense than Collison did.
Ok, tough loss but not something we can dwell on and certainly not something that any of us should be making any kind of grand statements about one way or the other.
We all need to get together tomorrow and pass around El Paceros drum and beat on it for awhile and do a healing dance for Tylers eye and Georges back. While were at it we should all chip in some money to get Danny a bottle of Maalox.

Office of Capital Access | Resources
CAPLines is an umbrella program that helps small businesses meet their short-term and cyclical working-capital needs. It features five lines:
Seasonal Line. Borrowers must use the loan proceeds solely to finance the seasonal increases of accounts receivable and inventory (or in some cases associated increased labor costs); it can be revolving or non-revolving.
Contract Line. This line finances the direct labor and material cost associated with performing assignable contract(s); it can be revolving or non-revolving.
Builders Line. If you are a small general contractor or builder constructing or renovating commercial or residential buildings, this can finance direct labor and material costs. The building project serves as the collateral, and loans can be revolving or non-revolving.
Standard Asset-Based Line. This is an asset-based revolving line of credit for businesses unable to meet credit standards associated with long-term credit. It provides financing for cyclical growth, recurring and/or short-term needs. Repayment comes from converting short-term assets into cash, which is remitted to the lender. Businesses continually draw from this line of credit, based on existing assets, and repay as their cash cycle dictates. This line generally is used by businesses that provide credit to other businesses. Because these loans require continual servicing and monitoring of collateral, additional fees may be charged by the lender.
Small Asset-Based Line. This is an asset-based revolving line of credit of up to $200,000. It operates like a standard asset-based line except that some of the stricter servicing requirements are waived, providing the business can consistently show repayment ability from cash flow for the full amount.
Maximum Loan Amounts
Except for the Small Asset-Based Line, which has a maximum loan amount of $200,000, CAPLine loans follow SBA's maximum loan amounts.
Loan Maturities
Each of the five lines of credit has a maturity of up to five (5) years. But because each is tailored to an individual business's needs, a shorter initial maturity may be established. CAPLines funds can be used as needed throughout the term of the loan to purchase short-term assets, as long as sufficient time is allowed to convert the assets into cash at maturity.
Interest Rates, Percentage of Guaranty, Fees
See Terms and Conditions for SBA 7(a) Loans.
Holders of at least 20 percent ownership in the business are generally required to guarantee the loan. Although inadequate collateral will not be the sole reason for denial of a loan request, the nature and value of that collateral does factor into the credit decision.
For More Information
For more information, contact your nearest SBA District Office.

REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. It also promotes alternative methods for the hazard assessment of substances in order to reduce the number of tests on animals.
Substance Identity
Companies have the responsibility of collecting information on the properties and the uses of substances that they manufacture or import at or above one tonne per year. They also have to make an assessment of the hazards and potential risks presented by the substance.
ECHA and the Member States evaluate the information submitted by companies to examine the quality of the registration dossiers and the testing proposals and to clarify if a given substance constitutes a risk to human health or the environment.
The authorisation procedure aims to assure that the risks from Substances of Very High Concern are properly controlled and that these substances are progressively replaced by suitable alternatives while ensuring the good functioning of the EU internal market.
Restrictions are a tool to protect human health and the environment from unacceptable risks posed by chemicals. Restrictions may limit or ban the manufacture, placing on the market or use of a substance.
Downstream Users
You are a downstream user if you use a substance, either on its own or in a mixture, in the course of your industrial or professional activities.
Candidate List substances in articles
The identification of a substance as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and its inclusion in the Candidate List creates certain legal obligations for the importers, producers and suppliers of an article that contains such a substance.
Nanomaterials under REACH and CLP
Nanotechnology is rapidly expanding and is being used in various areas, such as health care, consumer products like cosmetics, electronics, energy technologies, food, and agriculture.
Poison Centres
Poison Centre website is established to host the tools and format to support the submission of information by companies to the appointed bodies and Poison Centres.
