Shaver said t]]> Rare is the person who uses their pain to help others.

Photographer Terri Shaver, working out of her East Lansing studio, has done just that with the Oldham Project, which seeks to document women who are battling or who have survived breast cancer.

Shaver’s objectives include enlisting enough sponsors to place photo billboards around town during October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Shaver said the Oldham Project was created following the loss of her sister-in-law’s two sisters to breast cancer.

Her work with another non-profit that provides free portraits to the families of babies who have died, added to her love of portraiture in general, further helped inspire the Oldham Project.

Shaver then connected with Susan G. Komen Mid-Michigan Affiliate executive director Chris Pearson, and that meeting proved instrumental.

"She and I sat down and started a conversation about how we might partner together, and she was 100 percent behind the Oldham Project, what we’re doing and what we provide for the community," Shaver recalled.

Continuing event?

Shaver initially considered carrying out the Oldham Project as a one-time event, but with 47 women now on board, she has a vision for something more lasting.

She’s made some poignant photographs,shop for tiffany necklaces, including one of two sisters – one with breast cancer and one battling ovarian cancer.

"Hopefully, this won’t just be a one-time thing. It will be an annual event that we do, and it will just get better each time," she said.

If Shaver is successful in establishing a long-term foundation for the Oldham Project, it will be because she has improved the understanding of breast cancer in a different way than other organizations.

"There are lots of runs, the Relays and all the kind of things that happen in town to raise awareness about breast cancer," she said.

"I want to do it in a more visual way,thanksgiving earrings, and I’m hoping that women can see how beautiful they will be when they’re bald, that they will feel comfortable when they’re photographed, and that other women will see how comfortable they are with their baldness, and – in kind of a roundabout way – that they won’t be scared of the whole process."

Sea change

The "process" – essentially the sea change Shaver would like to see – is women getting regular mammograms and other preventative care.

"That if they did find a lump they wouldn’t be afraid and not go, because they are already thinking ahead about losing their hair. Women are like that – we’re all about our hair," she said.

Shaver’s not talking in a vacuum, having already had one breast biopsy and another recent health scare.

"It’s amazing – like a car, you can go from zero to 60 in a second," she said.

"You can do the same thing in your brain when you’re facing something like that, when you even hear the word "lump" or "suspicious" or anything like that – you are instantly already planning your funeral. We just do that – I think we do that as women."

Denise Acker

One of Shaver’s first subjects was Lansing resident Denise Acker, who died Aug. 13. Acker battled cancer for more than 10 years, with her last diagnosis in December 2009.

Shaver said Acker – who had heard about the Oldham Project through a friend – contacted her while she was still a patient in the hospital.

"She was the perfect person for our first,tiffany bangle, to be our … poster child for our project," Shaver said of Acker.

The next step is to enlist sponsors,tiffany key rings on sale, both to put photos on billboards and for other purposes.

I would like to give (these women) something. I would like to honor them, to reward them. It’s an incentive to come and do this, not just for the free pictures,tiffany rings sale," said Shaver, who has already had several professional labs express an interest in donating a 16 x 20 print to their portrait subjects.

She’d like to do more, though.

"I would like enough money to go to retailers in the area and put together some goodie bags, so when they walk out the door I could give them this goodie bag of fun, enjoyable things to treat themselves with, lotions and potions and things that women love," Shaver said.

Throw a party

She would also like to throw a party for her photo subjects, envisioning the evening as a fund-raising gala where the women would be the guests of honor.

"All of our supporters would be there, and all of the people who care about the organization would be there to honor them and cheer them on in their battles," Shaver said.

The Oldham Project has also gotten help from Douglas J, who have pledged free makeup applications for up to 120 women; studio space donated by the Gillespie Group; and a donation from Dean Transportation.

"A lot of those people are involved in the community, and they see it as a worthwhile project," Shaver said.

Deputy Police Chief John Livingood said the boy's mother and his siblings had just returned home at 4:10 p.m. Thursday. The car was parked on a steep driveway,]]> A 6-year-old boy from Glenside died after being accidentally struck by his mother’s vehicle,tiffany, which was parked at home, Abington Township police said.

Deputy Police Chief John Livingood said the boy’s mother and his siblings had just returned home at 4:10 p.m. Thursday. The car was parked on a steep driveway,Charm bracelet, and the woman had turned off the engine and removed the key from the ignition.

She unloaded several of the children,money clips, including the boy,Charm pendant, and was preparing to remove the others when the vehicle inexplicably rolled backward, Livingood said Friday.

The boy died from his injuries a short time later at Abington Memorial Hospital.

Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said her office had been notified of the accident but would take no action. She termed the boy’s death a "horrible, unimaginable,Bead bracelet, tragic accident."

Livingood said the vehicle was a 1996 Chevrolet Suburban that had been inspected and appeared to be in good repair.

"We have the vehicle and are having it examined for mechanical defects," he said. "So far, we have not found any."

Livingood said the department was withholding the name of the family until all its members were notified of the boy’s death.

BHS resumes its schedule 1 p.m. today at Walker-Hackensack-Akeley and Tuesday it will visit Moorhead.

"Offensively we dominated and we were able to manufacture many good shots,]]> Andrea Hanson scored three goals and Erin Booth had a goal and three assists to power the Bemidji girls soccer team to a 6-1 home victory over Little Falls Friday in the season opener.

BHS resumes its schedule 1 p.m. today at Walker-Hackensack-Akeley and Tuesday it will visit Moorhead.

"Offensively we dominated and we were able to manufacture many good shots,earrings," said Jacks coach Kelly Schoonover. "We started strong with four goals in the first half but, as expected,cuff Links, we tired in the second half.

"This was a test of endurance and overall we did well,tiffany," Schoonover said.

Bemidji scored all the goals it would need in the opening 40 minutes. Booth opened the scoring about 12 minutes in and eight minutes later Hanson notched her first of the fall. Rachelle LeBlanc drew the Flyers within 2-1 midway through the half but Booth and Maari Stocker answered in the final 10 minutes to give the Jacks their 4-1 cushion.

Hanson iced the victory with a pair of goals in the second stanza.

Paige Niskanen, Caitlin Blotske and Josie Spry also had assists.

Casey Palmer and Whitney Morin combined for three saves in the Bemidji net.

The midfield transition game is something BHS coach Rick Toward thought would take time to develop and Friday’s 2-0 home loss to Little Falls showed that he was correct.

"There were moments when we played well and possessed the ball but we had trouble transitioning,Charm bracelet," Toward said.

"For eight or nine minutes early in the game we controlled play but we couldn’t sustain it," Toward said

"It was a frustrating game but it’s early in the season and we know we have improvements to make.

Grant Bell scored both Little Falls goals. Early in the first half he capped a flurry with a close-range goal and in the second half he scored on a penalty kick.

Carl Graefe and Connor McNallan split the goaltending chores.

BHS will continue its homestand 3 p.m. today against Hillcrest Lutheran Academy. Tuesday the Jacks will host Detroit Lakes at 4 p.m.

The Lumberjack swimmers head to Willmar today for the annual season-opening invitational.

BHS coach Scott Leindecker is anxious to see how his team will compete today because graduation claimed seven key performers and this year’s team could be spearheaded by underclassmen.

"It’s going to take us awhile to come together," Leindecker predicted. "I really won’t know what we have until I see the girls in competition.

"But I’m cautiously optimistic," the coach added.

Bemidji will also be on the road Tuesday when it visits Brainerd.

   SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

   Section 14(a)(3)(B)(vi) of the CPSA, as added by section 102(a)(2) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, directs the CPSC to publish a notice of requirements for accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies to assess children’s products for conformity with "other children’s product safety rules." Section 14(f)(1) of the CPSA defines "children’s product safety rule" as "a consumer product safety rule under [the CPSA] or similar rule, regulation, standard, or ban under any other Act enforced by the Commission, including a rule declaring a consumer product to be a banned hazardous product or substance." Under section 14(a)(3)(A) of the CPSA, each manufacturer (including the importer) or private labeler of products subject to those regulations must have products that are manufactured more than 90 days after the Federal Register publication date of a notice of the requirements for accreditation, tested by a third party conformity assessment body accredited to do so, and must issue a certificate of compliance with the applicable regulations based on that testing. Section 14(a)(2) of the CPSA, as added by section 102(a)(2) of the CPSIA, requires that certification be based on testing of sufficient samples of the product, or samples that are identical in all material respects to the product. The Commission also emphasizes that, irrespective of certification, the product in question must comply with applicable CPSC requirements (see, e.g., section 14(h) of the CPSA, as added by section 102(b) of the CPSIA).

   The Commission also is recognizing limited circumstances in which it will accept certifications based on product testing conducted before the third party conformity assessment body is accepted as accredited by the CPSC. The details regarding those limited circumstances can be found in part IV of this document below.

   This notice provides the criteria and process for Commission acceptance of accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies for testing pursuant to 16 CFR part 1610, Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles, which sets a minimum standard for flammability of clothing textiles under the Flammable Fabrics Act (15 U.S.C. 1191 et seq.) (FFA).

   Section 3(a)(2) of the CPSA defines a children’s product as "a consumer product designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger." Although clothing textiles are often used in nonchildren’s wearing apparel, some clothing textiles are "designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger." Clothing textiles designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger are subject to the third party testing and certification requirements in section 14(a)(2) of the CPSA. Accordingly, this notice of requirements addresses the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies to test such clothing textiles for conformity with 16 CFR part 1610.

   Some clothing textiles are exempt from part 1610 testing. See 16 CFR 1610.1(d). Manufacturers do not need to submit exempt clothing textiles designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger to a third party conformity assessment body to confirm that the exemption applies. For clothing textiles designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger that are subject to 16 CFR part 1610, manufacturers may submit a product for third party testing at either the pre- or post-garment stage of production.

   Although section 14(a)(3)(B)(vi) of the CPSA directs the CPSC to publish a notice of requirements for accreditation of third party conformity assessment bodies to assess conformity with "all other children’s product safety rules," this notice of requirements is limited to the regulations identified immediately above.

   The CPSC also recognizes that section 14(a)(3)(B)(vi) of the CPSA is captioned as "All Other Children’s Product Safety Rules," but the body of the statutory requirement refers only to "other children’s product safety rules." Nevertheless, section 14(a)(3)(B)(vi) of the CPSA could be construed as requiring a notice of requirements for "all" other children’s product safety rules, rather than a notice of requirements for "some" or "certain" children’s product safety rules. However, whether a particular rule represents a "children’s product safety rule" may be subject to interpretation, and the Commission staff is continuing to evaluate which rules, regulations, standards, or bans are "children’s product safety rules." The CPSC intends to issue additional notices of requirements for other rules which the Commission determines to be "children’s product safety rules."

   This notice of requirements applies to all third party conformity assessment bodies as described in section 14(f)(2) of the CPSA. Generally speaking, such third party conformity assessment bodies are: (1) Third party conformity assessment bodies that are not owned,rings, managed, or controlled by a manufacturer or private labeler of a children’s product to be tested by the third party conformity assessment body for certification purposes; (2) "firewalled" conformity assessment bodies (those that are owned, managed, or controlled by a manufacturer or private labeler of a children’s product to be tested by the third party conformity assessment body for certification purposes and that seek accreditation under the additional statutory criteria for "firewalled" conformity assessment bodies); and (3) third party conformity assessment bodies owned or controlled,watches, in whole or in part, by a government.

   The Commission requires baseline accreditation of each category of third party conformity assessment body to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard 17025:2005, "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories." The accreditation must be by an accreditation body that is a signatory to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation-Mutual Recognition Arrangement (ILAC-MRA), and the scope of the accreditation must include testing in accordance with the regulations identified earlier in part I of this document for which the third party conformity assessment body seeks to be accredited.

   (A description of the history and content of the ILAC-MRA approach and of the requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 laboratory accreditation standard is provided in the CPSC staff briefing memorandum "Third Party Conformity Assessment Body Accreditation Requirements for Testing Compliance with 16 CFR Part 1501 (Small Parts Regulations)," dated November 2008 and available on the CPSC’s Web site at http://www.cpsc.gov/library/foia/foia09/brief/smallparts.pdf.)

   The Commission has established an electronic accreditation registration and listing system that can be accessed via its Web site at http://www.cpsc.gov/ABOUT/Cpsia/labaccred.html.

   The Commission stayed the enforcement of certain provisions of section 14(a) of the CPSA in a notice published in the Federal Register on February 9, 2009 (74 FR 6396); the stay applied to testing and certification of various products, including clothing textiles. On December 28, 2009, the Commission published a notice in the Federal Register (74 FR 68588) revising the terms of the stay. One section of the December 28, 2009, notice addressed "Consumer Products or Children’s Products Where the Commission Is Continuing the Stay of Enforcement Until Further Notice," due to factors such as pending rulemaking proceedings affecting the product or the absence of a notice of requirements. The clothing textile testing and certification requirements were included in that section of the December 28, 2009, notice. As the factor preventing the stay from being lifted in the December 28, 2009, notice with regard to testing and certifications of clothing textiles was the absence of a notice of requirements, publication of this notice has the effect of lifting the stay with regard to 16 CFR part 1610.

   The Commission noted in the December 28, 2009, notice that the stay of enforcement did not extend to guaranties under the FFA. The manufacturer or supplier of clothing textiles may issue a guaranty, based on reasonable and representative testing, that the clothing textile complies with FFA standards. The holder of a valid guaranty is not subject to criminal prosecution under section 7 of the FFA (penalties) for a violation of section 3 of the FFA (prohibited transactions).

   The reasonable and representative tests sufficient for the issuance of an FFA guaranty are generally performed by the manufacturer; those tests are sufficient for the issuance of a general conformity certification for nonchildren’s products under section 14(a)(1) of the CPSA. However, because section 14(a)(2) of the CPSA requires children’s products subject to a children’s product safety rule to be tested by an accredited third party conformity assessment body, reasonable and representative tests performed by a manufacturer sufficient for the issuance of an FFA guaranty are not sufficient for the issuance of a certification of compliance with 16 CFR part 1610 for clothing textiles designed or intended primarily for children 12 years of age or younger (unless the manufacturer’s facility is a CPSC-accepted firewalled conformity assessment body). The textiles may be tested by a CPSC-accepted third party laboratory or the final garment may be tested to ensure that the textiles used meet the standard’s flammability requirements.

   This notice of requirements is effective on August 18, 2010. Further, as the publication of this notice of requirements effectively lifts the stay of enforcement with regard to testing and certifications related to 16 CFR part 1610, each manufacturer of a children’s product subject to 16 CFR part 1610 must have any such product manufactured after November 16, 2010 tested by a third party conformity assessment body accredited to do so and must issue a certificate of compliance with 16 CFR part 1610 based on that testing. (Under the CPSA, the term "manufacturer" includes anyone who manufactures or imports a product.)

   This notice of requirements is exempt from the notice and comment rulemaking requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553 (See section 14(a)(3)(G) of the CPSA, as added by section 102(a)(2) of the CPSIA (15 U.S.C. 2063(a)(3)(G)).

II. Accreditation Requirements

A. Baseline Third Party Conformity Assessment Body Accreditation Requirements

   For a third party conformity assessment body to be accredited to test children’s products for conformity with the test methods in the regulations identified earlier in part I of this document, it must be accredited by an ILAC-MRA signatory accrediting body, and the accreditation must be registered with, and accepted by, the Commission. A listing of ILAC-MRA signatory accrediting bodies is available on the Internet at http://ilac.org/membersbycategory.html. The accreditation must be to ISO Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005, "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories," and the scope of the accreditation must expressly include testing to the regulations in 16 CFR part 1610, Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles. A true copy, in English, of the accreditation and scope documents demonstrating compliance with the requirements of this notice must be registered with the Commission electronically. The additional requirements for accreditation of firewalled and governmental conformity assessment bodies are described in parts II.B and II.C of this document below.

   The Commission will maintain on its Web site an up-to-date listing of third party conformity assessment bodies whose accreditations it has accepted and the scope of each accreditation. Subject to the limited provisions for acceptance of "retrospective" testing noted in part IV below, once the Commission adds a third party conformity assessment body to that list, the third party conformity assessment body may commence testing of children’s products to support the manufacturer’s certification that the product complies with the regulations identified earlier in part I of this document.

B. Additional Accreditation Requirements for Firewalled Conformity Assessment Bodies

   In addition to the baseline accreditation requirements in part II.A of this document above, firewalled conformity assessment bodies seeking accredited status must submit to the Commission copies, in English, of their training documents showing how employees are trained to notify the Commission immediately and confidentially of any attempt by the manufacturer, private labeler, or other interested party to hide or exert undue influence over the third party conformity assessment body’s test results. This additional requirement applies to any third party conformity assessment body in which a manufacturer or private labeler of a children’s product to be tested by the third party conformity assessment body owns an interest of ten percent or more. While the Commission is not addressing common parentage of a third party conformity assessment body and a children’s product manufacturer at this time, it will be vigilant to see if this issue needs to be addressed in the future.

   As required by section 14(f)(2)(D) of the CPSA, the Commission must formally accept, by order, the accreditation application of a third party conformity assessment body before the third party conformity assessment body can become an accredited firewalled conformity assessment body.

C. Additional Accreditation Requirements for Governmental Conformity Assessment Bodies

   In addition to the baseline accreditation requirements of part II.A of this document above, the CPSIA permits accreditation of a third party conformity assessment body owned or controlled, in whole or in part,Beads necklace, by a government if:

    * To the extent practicable, manufacturers or private labelers located in any nation are permitted to choose conformity assessment bodies that are not owned or controlled by the government of that nation;

    * The third party conformity assessment body’s testing results are not subject to undue influence by any other person, including another governmental entity;

    * The third party conformity assessment body is not accorded more favorable treatment than other third party conformity assessment bodies that have been accredited in the same nation;

    * The third party conformity assessment body’s testing results are accorded no greater weight by other governmental authorities than those of other accredited third party conformity assessment bodies; and

    * The third party conformity assessment body does not exercise undue influence over other governmental authorities on matters affecting its operations or on decisions by other governmental authorities controlling distribution of products based on outcomes of the third party conformity assessment body’s conformity assessments.

   The Commission will accept the accreditation of a governmental third party conformity assessment body if it meets the baseline accreditation requirements of part II.A of this document above and meets the additional conditions stated here. To obtain this assurance, CPSC staff will engage the governmental entities relevant to the accreditation request.

III. How Does a Third Party Conformity Assessment Body Apply for Acceptance of Its Accreditation?

   The Commission has established an electronic accreditation acceptance and registration system accessed via the Commission’s Internet site at http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/labaccred.html. The applicant provides, in English, basic identifying information concerning its location, the type of accreditation it is seeking, electronic copies of its ILAC-MRA accreditation certificate and scope statement,bracelets, and firewalled third party conformity assessment body training document(s), if relevant.

   Commission staff will review the submission for accuracy and completeness. In the case of baseline third party conformity assessment bodies and government-owned or government-operated conformity assessment bodies, when that review and any necessary discussions with the applicant are satisfactorily completed, the third party conformity assessment body in question is added to the CPSC’s list of accredited third party conformity assessment bodies at http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/labaccred.html. In the case of a firewalled conformity assessment body seeking accredited status, when the staff’s review is complete, the staff transmits its recommendation on accreditation to the Commission for consideration. (A third party conformity assessment body that may ultimately seek acceptance as a firewalled third party conformity assessment body also can initially request acceptance as a third party conformity assessment body accredited for testing of children’s products other than those of its owners.) If the Commission accepts a staff recommendation to accredit a firewalled conformity assessment body, the firewalled conformity assessment body will then be added to the CPSC’s list of accredited third party conformity assessment bodies. In each case, the Commission will notify the third party conformity assessment body electronically of acceptance of its accreditation. All information to support an accreditation acceptance request must be provided in the English language.

   Subject to the limited provisions for acceptance of "retrospective" testing noted in part IV of this document below, once the Commission adds a third party conformity assessment body to the list, the third party conformity assessment body may then begin testing of children’s products to support certification of compliance with the regulations identified earlier in part I of this document for which it has been accredited.

IV. Limited Acceptance of Children’s Product Certifications Based on Third Party Conformity Assessment Body Testing Prior to the Commission’s Acceptance of Accreditation

   The Commission will accept a certificate of compliance with the standard for clothing textiles included in 16 CFR part 1610, Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles, based on testing performed by an accredited third party conformity assessment body (including a government-owned or -controlled conformity assessment body, and a firewalled conformity assessment body) prior to the Commission’s acceptance of its accreditation if:

    * At the time of product testing, the product was tested by a third party conformity assessment body that was ISO/IEC 17025 accredited by an ILAC-MRA member at the time of the test. For firewalled conformity assessment bodies, the firewalled conformity assessment body must be one that the Commission accredited by order at or before the time the product was tested, even though the order will not have included the test methods in the regulations specified in this notice. If the third party conformity assessment body has not been accredited by a Commission order as a firewalled conformity assessment body, the Commission will not accept a certificate of compliance based on testing performed by the third party conformity assessment body before it is accredited, by Commission order, as a firewalled conformity assessment body;

    * The third party conformity assessment body’s application for testing using the test methods in the regulations identified in this notice is accepted by the CPSC on or before October 18, 2010;

    * The product was tested on or after August 18, 2010 with respect to the regulations identified in this notice;

    * The accreditation scope in effect for the third party conformity assessment body at the time of testing expressly included testing to the regulations identified earlier in part I of this document;

    * The test results show compliance with the applicable current standards and/or regulations; and

    * The third party conformity assessment body’s accreditation, including inclusion in its scope the standards described in part I of this notice, remains in effect through the effective date for mandatory third party testing and manufacturer certification for conformity with 16 CFR part 1610.
