Graco Recalls Strollers
Hazard: The hinges on the strollers canopy pose a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to the child when the consumer is opening or closing the canopy.
Incidents/Injuries: Graco has received seven reports of children placing their fingers in the strollers canopy hinge mechanism while the canopy was being opened or closed, resulting in five fingertip amputations and two fingertip lacerations.
Dorel Asia Cribs
Hazard: The drop side hardware can fail causing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop side detaches it creates a space in which an infant or toddler can become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. In addition, the recalled cribs can pose a serious entrapment and strangulation hazard when a slat is damaged. This can occur while the crib is in use, in storage, being put together, taken apart or reassembled; or during shipping and handling.
Reports: CPSC and Dorel Asia SRL received a report of the death of 6-month old child from Cedar Rapids, Iowa who became entrapped and strangled in a crib after the drop side hardware broke. The crib continued to be used after the parents tried to repair the drop side themselves. CPSC and Dorel Asia received reports of 31 drop side incidents. In six of those incidents, children were entrapped between the drop side and crib mattress. Three children suffered from bruises as a result of the entrapment. In addition, CPSC and Dorel Asia received reports of 36 incidents of slat breakage, including seven reports of bruises and scratches to children and two reports of entrapment that resulted in no injury.
Drop Side Cribs Recalled by Caramia Furniture
Hazard: The slats on the cribs drop-side can detach from the top and bottom rails, posing fall and entrapment hazards to the child.
Incidents/Injuries: The firm has received 18 reports of slats detaching from the rails of the crib. No injuries have been reported.

Cribs recalled after 3 deaths
WASHINGTON Government safety officials Tuesday announced a recall of more than 500,000 drop-side cribs sold at Buy Buy Baby, Kmart, Wal-Mart and other stores after the death of three infants.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says plastic hardware on Generation 2 Worldwide and ChildESIGNS cribs can break and allow the drop side to detach. In addition, the mattress supports can break away from the crib frames. Both defects create gaps where a small child can be trapped and suffocate or strangle.
The agency has received three reports of children who died after getting trapped in gaps between the drop sides of their cribs and their mattresses.
An 8-month-old boy from Newark, Ohio, suffocated in July 2007 after the drop side of his crib detached due to a broken stop tab on the lower track. An 8-month-old boy from Richmond, Ind., suffocated in October 2003 after broken hardware allowed the drop side to detach from his crib's headboard in one corner. A 6-month-old boy from Staunton, Va., suffocated in September 2002 after two missing screws allowed the lower drop side track of his crib to pull away from the headboard post.
Consumer advocates have complained for years about the problems associated with drop side cribs.
ASTM International, an organization that sets voluntary industry safety standards for everything from toys to the steel used in commercial buildings, approved a new standard last November that requires four immovable sides for full-size cribs. The industry groups refusal to certify drop-side cribs is a big step toward eliminating the manufacture of new cribs in this style.
The CPSC has received 20 other reports of incidents involving detached drop sides and eight reports of incidents involving detached mattress supports.
The cribs were made by Generation 2 Worldwide, which went out of business in 2005. The CPSC believes that more than 500,000 cribs were sold. They were available nationwide at furniture and other stores, including Buy Buy Baby, Kmart, Wal-Mart.
Crib owners should contact the place of purchase for information on remedies including refunds, replacements and store credit. CPSC says owners should contact the agency if they have difficulty getting a remedy.
Mclaren strollers: Same amputation risk if you fold it up while the child is in it. My wife's sister has one. While its open there's no chance it will fold on its own when I've played with it.

What am I missing here? Why would you fold a stroller with the child in it?
I don't think my wife would be too happy if I tried to fold up our MacLaren with my daughter still in it.
I never fold it up if she's near it any ways.
Oh, I put our Storkcraft back together for our 2nd child, with those new parts they give you so it no longer drops. Seems pretty solid.

You're not missing anything, some people are stupid and/or lazy. Having used the stroller many times I can't see why you'd do that either.

Gov't orders recall of 1.2 million high chairs
Gov't agency announces recall of 1.2 million high chairs; cites 'fall hazard' to children
Thursday March 18, 2010, 7:12 am
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government is announcing a recall of some 1.2 million high chairs, saying they pose a fall hazard to children.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the voluntary recall Thursday involving the product made by Graco Children's Products, Inc., of Atlanta.
The regulatory agency said "screws holding the front legs of the high chair can loosen and fall out" and said cracking plastic brackets can cause the high chair to "tip over unexpectedly." These tip-overs resulted in 24 reports of injuries including bumps and bruises to the head, a hairline fracture to the arm and cuts, bumps and bruises and scratches to the body."
The CPSC said consumers should stop using the high chairs immediately and identified the recall product as "all Harmony-TM high chairs." It said the product is no longer in production and said the model number can be located on the underside of the foot rest.
WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following products. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
Name of product: Evenflo Top-of-Stair Plus Wood Gates
Units: About 150,000 in the United States and 33,000 in Canada
Manufacturer: Evenflo Co. Inc. of Miamisburg, Ohio
Hazard: The slats on the gate can break or detach, posing a fall hazard to children.
tubular mattress support rails can bend or detach, creating voids in the mattress above that can become suffocation hazards for infants. at least one child has died this way.
drop side hardware can fail. inspect it, make sure parts are secure etc. from all the recalls, it sounds like drop sides were a neat idea, but not practical in real life application.

OTTAWA Health Canada on Thursday warned parents to inspect their babies' cribs in the wake of two new massive crib recalls in the United States linked to one suffocation death and 99 incidents of hardware problems.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday announced the recall of all Simplicity full-sized cribs with tubular metal mattress-support frames, blamed for the suffocation death of a one-year old from Massachusetts.
The frames can bend or detach, causing part of the mattress to collapse and creating a suffocation hazard for infants and toddlers, the commission said in a statement.
Citing entrapment and suffocation hazards, the commission also announced Thursday the recall of about 217,000 Graco-branded drop-side cribs made by LaJobi, Inc. of New Jersey. The drop-side hardware can break or fail, along the drop side to detach from the crib, creating a hazardous gap.
The CPSC and LaJobi have received 99 reports of drop side incidents, including hardware breakage and drop side detachment. There were two incidents in which children became entrapped in the gap, but were successfully freed by caregivers, the commission said.
In Canada, the distributor of Simplicity cribs was not immediately available to say whether any of these Simplicity cribs have been sold in Canada. However, Montreal-based Elfe Juvenile Products Inc., which also imported the newly recalled Graco crib in the U.S., confirmed on its website that about 5,180 of the recalled Graco-branded cribs have been sold in Canada.
Health Canada, meanwhile, issued a statement Thursday, saying it is aware of the two cribs recalls in the U.S., but under current legislation, "Canada does not have mandatory recall powers or the ability to trace products through the supply chain. As a result, we are following up with Canadian manufacturers and distributors to determine whether these products were available in Canada and pose a risk to Canadians."
In the meantime, "we encourage parents to inspect their cribs for worn or broken hardware or any other visible signs of wear or damage."
Since 2007, Elfe has issued four crib recalls, three involving Simplicity drop-side cribs and one involving Generation 2 Worldwide and "ChildESIGNS" drop-side cribs. Earlier Simplicity crib recalls followed news of suffocation deaths of two babies in the United States.

the seam of ikea "Len" crib pillows can unravel & become a strangling hazard or wrap around fingers/limbs etc. they've been pulled off shelves across canada. very few incidents considering how many have sold, but still worth checking out.
IMO, if a seam thread is loose and could unravel, a potential preventative fix might be to put a couple drops of "thread stop" (or crazy glue) so it can't come apart or unravel.
Quote » Ikea pulls crib pillow from shelves pending investigation
'Len' pillow has been sold at Ikea stores since 1996. Nearly 12,000 Len pillows were sold last year alone, and this is the first time the company has received a complaint about the item.
Photograph by: Screen grab, Ikea.com
CALGARY Parents across Canada are responding to a Calgary mother's alert about a potentially faulty Ikea crib pillow that apparently unravelled, nearly strangling her 15-month-old.
Melinda Gombert said she woke last week to a screaming toddler and was horrified to find her son Lucas with a thread from his crib pillow wrapped around his neck three times and around his waist once.
"No parent wants to walk into their kid's room and see a string of any kind wrapped around their child's neck," Gombert said Monday. "It was terrifying. I was scared, and then I was angry, and I don't want it to happen to anyone else."
Ikea has since pulled the "Len" crib pillow from all its stores in Canada while it investigates.
The drama began when Gombert removed Lukas' pillowcase after he threw up on it. During the night, she said, the pillow's side seam unravelled, winding around the toddler's throat and waist as he tossed and turned in his sleep.
The next day, she said, Lucas had a red welt around his throat for hours. Gombert, a professional photographer, took a picture of her son's neck and sent it with an e-mail to Ikea and Health Canada.
"We are taking the situation very seriously," Ikea spokeswoman Madeleine Lowenborg-Frick said. "We are investigating the product, and in the meanwhile, because the safety of our customers and anyone that comes in contact with our product is of the utmost importance to us, we've pulled the product off the shelves across Canada."
Gombert also posted the incident on an Internet parenting forum, which saw more than 10 pages of discussion threads within days.
Filomena Lowry was shocked after reading about the forum a similar incident had happened to her toddler, Jack, last January, she claimed. In her case, she said, the Ikea pillow unravelled about four months after buying it, with the thread wrapping around the 24-month-old's arm.
At first, the mother from Ajax, Ont., dismissed the incident as shoddy merchandise, and her mother restitched the pillow. But Lowry said she decided to speak up after seeing it had happened to others.
"When I read her experience and saw the pictures of Lucas' neck, it made me realize the potential of what could have occurred," she said. "That made it important for me to raise the issue with the manufacturer."
Lowenborg-Frick called the incident isolated, adding the company welcomed people to come forward if they have come across similar problems.
"If the product is found to be unsafe and there is a flaw in the design, then we would certainly recall it immediately," she said.
Nearly 12,000 Len pillows which retail for $12.99 were sold last year alone, said Lowenborg-Frick, adding this is the first time the company has received a complaint about the item.
The item has been sold at Ikea since 1996, and is only recommended for children 12 months and older.
"I would like the problem fixed," Gombert said. "I would really like Ikea to follow through their investigation and hopefully find sufficient evidence to either have the pillow remanufactured in a safer manner or just pull them all together."
In Canada, recalls are negotiated and voluntarily agreed on by the company responsible for the product.
A Health Canada spokeswoman said Monday the department is aware of the matter, but not in a position to discuss the details at this time.
"(Health Canada) is reviewing the situation carefully, and will not hesitate to take any action that may be necessary to protect the health and safety of Canadians," Stephane Shank said in an e-mailed statement.
"Health Canada would like to remind consumers that soft mattresses, pillows, comforters, stuffed toys and bumper pads should not be used in cribs."

4 deaths prompt Graco stroller recall
Wed Oct 20, 12:48 pm ET
WASHINGTON Baby gear maker Graco is recalling about 2 million strollers after receiving reports that four infants died in the strollers.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which announced the recall Wednesday, said the four infants became trapped inside the strollers and were strangled. The deaths occurred between 2003 and 2005.
The strollers being recalled are older versions of the Graco Quattro Tour and MetroLite strollers and travel systems, all made before 2007 and distributed by Graco Children's Products Inc. of Atlanta.
CPSC says if babies aren't strapped into the strollers properly, they can slide through the opening between the stroller tray and bottom of the seat - where they can get stuck and be strangled. The commission also said it was aware of five reports of infants becoming trapped, resulting in cuts and bruises, and one report of an infant having difficulty breathing.
The recalled strollers were made before the development in 2008 of a voluntary standard that requires a larger stroller opening between the stroller's tray and seat bottom in order to prevent entrapment and strangulation.
The recalled strollers were sold at retailers nationwide between November 2000 and December 2007.
More information on the model numbers involved in the recall can be found at the company's website, http://www.gracobaby.com.
We have a Graco stroller made in 06' I think. Never had any problems with it, mind you we used it properly.
I can't wait to get rid of it though. I call it the Behemoth. It takes up almost the entire trunk space.
800,000 child car seats recalled in US
Mon Feb 14, 12:09 pm ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) Leading child car seat maker Dorel is recalling nearly 800,000 kids' car seats due to a faulty button for locking and releasing the harness, the US highway safety department said Monday.
The Canadian group's Dorel Juvenile division said the recall involves car seats sold under the brand names Safety 1st, Cosco, Quinny, Maxi-Cosi brands, Disney and Eddie Bauer, produced between May 1, 2008 and April 30, 2009.
The button sometimes does not return to its locked position as it is supposed to do, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a statement.
That can lead to the harness loosening, increasing the risk that the child will be hurt in a crash, it said.
Dorel said that owners of the seats will be given a free tube of lubricant to put on the center front adjuster of the strap, so that the button will lock into place as intended.
"This voluntary recall is being conducted out of an abundance of caution with no reported incidents or injuries," Dorel said in a statement on its website.
The specific seat production numbers were available at www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls.
Here's a new dumb one:
B.O.B Strollers. I won't even go into the amazing level of stupidity I think about this one.
Jogging Strollers Recalled by B.O.B. Trailers Due to Strangulation Hazard
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: B.O.B.® single and double strollers
Units: About 337,000 in the United States and 20,000 in Canada
Importer: B.O.B. Trailers Inc., of Boise, Idaho
Hazard: A drawstring on the stroller can get wrapped around a childs neck, posing a strangulation hazard.
Injuries/Incidents: The firm has received one report of an 11-month-old girl who got entangled at the neck by the strollers drawstring. The child was freed by her mother.
We have one of these and its amazing. I read the recall when it came out and when I arrived at the section describing the "defect" I was baffled to say the least. You'd have to try to hang yourself on purpose with this one to create a hazard. I guess if you make it possible, someone will do it..
Made me remember about the tylenol recall.
I haven't seen infant's tylenol on shelves since I made that post. We have been using the "alternative" brand acetominophen(spelling?) equal. Is tylenol ever going to re-release their product?

BTW, back on topic this reminds me that this fall I received yet another recall letter from BOB, the terms of which are even more absurb. Seems this time the logo affixed to the hood could come off and pose a chocking hazard. Using this logic any fabric item with a logo stuck on should be getting recalled.
IMO there's a higher risk my child will ingest a ladybug than ingest the logo.
Combi Coccoro and others
Combi USA, Inc. (Combi) is recalling certain model 8220 (Coccoro) child restraints manufactured January 6, 2009, through December 5, 2012; model 8836 (Zeus 360) child restraints manufactured February 25, 2009, through May 24, 2012; and model 8815 (Zeus Turn) manufactured from July 15, 2007, through March 25, 2009. The harness webbing fails to meet minimum breaking strength requirements. Thus, these child seats fail to comply to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

- Open Championship
Faldo eyes surprise Muirfield return
Six-time major champion Sir Nick Faldo has hinted that he could make a surprise return to play in next year's Open Championship.
Faldo, 55, has not played in the event he won three times as a professional since 2010 - when he missed the cut at St Andrews - but would qualify for a place in the field due to his status as a former champion.
The Englishman has focused on his career as a commentator since that disappointment, skipping Opens at both Royal St Georges and Royal Lytham & St Annes in the interim. But the return of the tournament to Muirfield, site of two of his three Open victories, has led him to consider a fleeting comeback.
However, unsavoury weather - and the prospect of playing poorly - could yet see him stick to the commentator's booth.
"I'm actually in curiosity mode at the moment," Faldo told GQ. "I'm thinking, 'Could I sneak off somewhere quietly and play a tournament just for a laugh?'
"I think I will have a go. There's Muirfield next year, but if I got rough weather, I'd hate it. I'm not the kind of guy who could go there and shoot an 80. That would drive me up the wall."
Faldo has fond memories of Muirfield, revealing that he still regards his 1992 second round of 64 at the course as the greatest he ever played.
"The second round at Muirfield in 1992 is [the best round I've ever played]," he said. "I shot 64 and that record still stands. That was one of those floating days; everything came off."
Faldo also reflected on his last significant role at a golf event, as European captain at the 2010 Ryder Cup. The Englishman, who was pilloried in the press for Europe's defeat, claimed that Sergio Garcia was "uninspirable" that week, a contributing cause to the loss.
"I let the players decide the playing order on Sunday," he reflected. "We sent Sergio Garcia out first to try to inspire him, but he was uninspirable that week. Padraig Harrington wanted to go out last and I got b******** for that.
"But the real bottom line is that that week, they played better than us."

Pool slides are fun for all ages, but there are risks involved with using them. There have been countless injuries from misuse, ranging from scrapes and bruises to deaths.
It is very important to follow these helpful safety tips when you are using a pool slide. The Official Swimming Pool Slide Rules!
#1 Make sure the slide is mounted per the manufacture recommended specs . For a copy of the Swimming Pool Slide Safety Standard, by the Consumer Product Safety Commission click here.
#2 Children younger than six years old or shorter than three feet tall should not use pool slides .
#3 Don't push or scuffle on the ladder or stairs of the slide. Only one person on ladder at a time.
#4 Wait for your turn. Do not try to slide until you see the child before you has cleared the slide landing area or left the pool.

Winner No. 1: Charles Meyer, Maintenance Supervisor - Projects San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center
After reviewing the aforementioned photo of damaged alternate electric branch supply to parking lot lighting, the most applicable Code section appears to be Article 347, Rigid NonMetallic Conduit, specifically Section 347-3 (c) Uses Not Permitted, Physical Damage. "Rigid nonmetallic conduit shall not be installed where subject to physical damage, unless identified for such use." I do not believe the raceway in the photograph was identified for such use, and the scale of the photograph was such that I could not discern the manufacturer's identification markings. Other considerations for this installation are:
1. Had the raceway been encased in concrete to protect it from damage, it may have been acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
2. Use of nonmetallic raceway where exposed to direct sunlight is contra-indicated due to the deleterious effect of ultraviolet radiation on non-metallic components.
3. Nonmetallic raceways have a much greater modulus of expansion than their metallic counterparts, thus necessitating the use of expansion joints, again, specifically identified for such use. Additionally, the raceway as shown may not be of the proper type to withstand the expected ambient temperatures; Sections 347-9 & 347-3, (d), (e) and 347-9.
4. As this installation does not appear to be of such caliber of workmanship to be accepted by most Authorities having Jurisdiction, I question whether the work was undertaking under proper permit, thus causing the whole of the installed work in this area to be reviewed by the local building department.
Winner No. 2: Jakob T. Wipf, second year student in the Electrical Construction and Wiring Apprenticeship training program at Ulster County, B.O.C.E.S in Port Ewen, NY.
First, all three conduits where pulled apart by vertical movement. This is a violation of Section 300-5(j). The installer shall provide expansion joints to prevent damage from movement by settlement or frost heaves of fill material.
Secondly, it is in violation of Section 410-15 (b)(1) where raceway Riser or cable is not installed within the pole, a nipple shall be brazed or welded to the pole "OPPOSITE THE HANDHOLE" for the supply connection.

This baseball season has been full of reminders of what steroids have wrought on the game of baseball. From the Alex Rodriguez admission to the Manny Ramirez suspension to the Raul Ibanez speculation, it's been hard to escape the shadow that performance enhancing drugs have cast over the league.
And, yet, those of us who love baseball still want to believe in the game the same way we did when we were young and awed by the feats of men who seemed like giants. Men like Albert Pujols, who told us all to believe in him on a Sports Illustrated cover in March. All too often, those kinds of boasts are followed by unhappy truths that make you feel like a fool for believing an athlete was anything but human in the first place.
Pujols, though, keeps making it hard to dismiss him as just another athlete. For his latest feat, he played Babe Ruth on Sunday.
After opening the third inning with a fly out, Pujols returned to the Cardinals clubhouse to review video. There he predicted to assistant hitting coach Mike Aldrete that his next at-bat would ricochet off the yet-to-open Royals Hall of Fame behind the visitors bullpen in left field. "He didn't say he might hit the Hall of Fame. He said he would hit the Hall of Fame," Aldrete recalled.
Pujols returned in the fourth inning against Royals starting pitcher Gil Meche with the bases loaded and one out in a 4-4 game. Pujols and Meche reached a full count. By then Meche had shown Pujols every pitch in his repertoire except a change-up. When Meche finally threw the pitch, Pujols swatted it some 423 feet off a Hall of Fame window.
Read the entire game story from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for more from his teammates and manager Tony La Russa, and notice that none of them seemed all that surprised by what Pujols was able to do on Sunday. They almost expected it, in fact, which is a sign that there's something pretty spectacular going on here.
Pujols is on pace for the best year of his career, and currently leads the National League in runs, RBI, home runs, OPS and, at ninth in batting average, we may have a run at a triple crown. He could finish with 60+ home runs and more than 160 RBI, numbers that the Babe would be proud of.
There's one final parallel between Ruth and Pujols that bears mentioning. While baseball struggled in the aftermath of the Black Sox scandal in the 1919 World Series, Ruth emerged to change the storyline into a more positive one. Could Pujols do the same thing? It seems impossible, given the justifiable cynicism and pessimism that many of baseball's biggest stars birthed with their drug use. But, again, for those of us who want to believe, Pujols is giving us a lot of ammunition.
It's more than unfair to pin the hopes of clean baseball on the shoulders of Pujols, but, as the SI article above made clear, he doesn't mind carrying the burden. That's a good thing, because it becomes less avoidable as he continues to burnish his legend with every passing day.

Mykonos | Cyclades
Come summer and the world's rich and famous start descending for their annual pilgrimage to the indisputable queen among Greek islands. At the same time posh and easy-going, Mykonos is first and foremost a party island with a pulsing nightlife.
Having said that, you can spend your time in perfect isolation should you wish so -it is, after all, a safe haven for international celebs. Add to that the stunning beaches, stylish boutiques and top-notch restaurants, and you might begin to understand why this island has been a star since the '60s. The setting is typical Cycladic, a jagged slab smack in the middle of the Aegean, with its dramatic cliffs giving way to pristine beaches with crystal clear waters.
Despite its early development, the island has thankfully stayed true to its vernacular architecture that calls for low-rise, stark-white buildings resembling bundles of cubes. If you want to enjoy a cosmopolitan lifestyle at one of the world's hottest party islands, or spend some quality time with your family without having to give up the luxuries of a world-class destination, Mykonos is your place to be.
Delos and RheniaToday a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Delos was once a spiritual hub for ancient Greece that flourished during Athens' golden age. The today deserted island was thought to be the birthplace of god Apollo and his sister Artemis. Charter a yacht and visit the island's archaeological sites and then head for the nearby island of Rhenia to enjoy the sun, sand and local cuisine.
ChoraMykonos' picture-perfect Chora is a gem among Greek island towns. Wander around its cobbled streets, capture its photogenic churches, take in the vistas under the windmills and visit the art galleries and designer boutiques before lunching at one of the town's exquisite restaurants.
Little VeniceFittingly named after Italy's fairy-tale city, Chora's Little Venice is one of the island's most romantic spots, its rugged waterfront houses bursting with colour as the sun dives into the cerulean horizon.
Panagia ParaportianiMykonos' post-card perfect church is one of Greece's most photographed sites. Comprising five small churches that were bundled together, their whitewashed walls reflecting the sun and posing a striking contrast with the azure sky.
As any self-respecting tourist guide will tell you, a tour to Delos is a must. Hop on one of the little boats that take you the tiny islet, once a religious powerhouse to ancient Greece and one of today's most important archaeological sites. If you're a fan of the arts and culture, you will find an array of cutting-edge galleries that host exhibitions of local and international artists. Shopping is a form of art, too, in Mykonos.
Walking through the narrow alleys of the town, you will come across little local shops and luxury boutiques that are open until late at night during peak season. Island living is of course all about the beaches, and Mykonos is thankfully big enough to satisfy every taste. If you're in a cosmopolitan mood, head for Psarou, the favorite haunt of the rich and famous, or the fashionable bay of Panormos with its stylish beach restaurant.
If you want to escape the crowds, try Agios Sostis, Lia or Kapari. Mykonos is famed for its nightlife for a reason -the island is full of hip venues that range from easy-going seaside bars to pulsing night-clubs that host international DJs. If you're not in a party mood, you can stroll the village of Ano Mera to get a feel of old Mykonos, or watch a movie under the stars at the open-sky gardens of Cine Manto in Chora.
Mykonos has an international airport that serves flights from many major cities around Europe and beyond. The old and the new port are connected to Pireuas, Rafina and many Greek islands including Paros, Naxos, Santorini and Crete.
This being Greece's most glamorous destination, there is an abundance of luxury villas to rent around the island. Villas in Mykonos range from spectacular sanctuaries at remote settings, to luxurious private villas in some of the island's hottest locations. Our Greek Villas team has strived to create a diverse collection of the island's most exquisite luxury villas that will satisfy any taste and need.

Restaurants, Counties, Colleges Promote Tap Water
Actions to promote tap over bottled water are spreading across the globe.
Restaurants in California, Oregon, New York, Maine, and other states are serving only tap water. Students at Brown University were inspired to start Beyond the Bottle after Washington University in St. Louis ended sales of bottled water on its campus.
Seattle University and Gonzaga University in Washington state, and the University of Portland in Oregon, have also ended sales of bottled water. Multnomah County became the first county in Oregon to ban bottled water from county meetings and functions. Efforts to prevent a bottling company from extracting millions of liters of water from the local aquifer led the city of Bundanoon, Australia, to ban the sale and production of bottled water. Toronto, London, and other cities in Ontario, Canada as well as school boards in Ottawa and Waterloo have stopped the sale of bottled water in municipal facilities.
Bottled water is marketed as superior to tap, but public water supplies are actually cleaner, less expensive, and more environmentally responsible, according to organizations like Take Back the Tap, Food and Water Watch, and Stop Corporate Abuse. They are mounting campaigns to combat misconceptions caused by bottled-water marketing.
EPA tap water regulations are more rigorous and require more disclosure than FDA bottled water regulations, according to a 2009 Government Accountability Office report. The cost of bottled water can run 10,000 times more than tap. An estimated 25 percent of bottled waters, often marketed as spring water or mineral water, comes from public tap water.
According to the Pacific Institute, the 38 billion plastic bottles
sold in 2005 used 900,000 tons of plastic, which required more than 1.7
million barrels of oil for transport. More than 75 percent of discarded
water bottles end up in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to

Meningitis B: Cuba's Got the Vaccine—Why Don't We?
Meningococcal Meningitis in the U.S.
Brief Overview:
History: The Neisseria meningitidis bacterium, carried by clinically asymptomatic individuals, is a major cause of bacterial meningitis worldwide. Outbreaks occur in groups of individuals housed in close proximity, e.g. dormitories, etc. and spread rapidly through the respiratory route. Fatality rates of 10-14% are common as are significant neurologic sequellae for those who survive.
Each year in the US, according to the CDC, there are 1,700-3,400 cases of meningococcal meningitis which are now increasingly resistant to most common antibiotics. Vaccines have been developed and deployed in the U.S. for some, but not all strains of the organism. In the U.S. we lack the ability to immunize against Serogroup B which is the organism found in periodic outbreaks in the Pacific Northwest and other areas.
Notably, a vaccine with proven effectiveness against Serogroup B was developed in Cuba by the Finlay Institute in the 1980s. Since then, 55 million doses have been administered in Cuba and other countries and it is registered for use in 15 countries, but not the United States because of the U.S. embargo against Cuba. Early on, Cuban scientists at the Institute offered their vaccine to U.S. health authorities, which were facing outbreaks on a recurring basis, but received no positive response. (Today, even contacts between researchers from the two countries are stymied: under the Bush administration, CDC (Centers for Disease Control) staff are among the federal employees banned from travel to the island.)
VA-MENGOC-BC :: Epidemiological impact in Havana City: Children below 6 years of age
With the embargo constraint and probable political backlash were the vaccine to be imported, families in the outbreak areas are at ever greater risk of contracting a commonly fatal disease for which antibiotics, even if administered early, may not prevent fatalities. Vaccine manufacturers, seeking larger markets, have been reluctant to commit resources to the development, especially when it is available in any other country with an agreement with the Finlay Institute.
Discussions about the Cuban vaccine with researchers at the CDC and NIH reveal opinions that range from scientific interest tempered with skepticism to outright rejection of the notion. Most assert that the large number of serogroup B subtypes make the vaccine less likely to be effective in other regions. However, one brave researcher opined that there was enough evidence in support of the vaccine to develop a clinical trial. Of course, this is simply an opinion, not a program.
Addressing this concern, European and Cuban investigators published (Vaccine Immunology, Jan. 2007) a report evaluating the immunogenicity and safety of a 3-dose regimen of a variation on the current version of the Cuban serogroup B vaccine. Using a variety of antigenic components of the organism to develop the vaccine, the investigators report that not only did immunization produce antibodies against the related strains in the vaccine, but also against strains not included, confirming the potential for clinical cross-protection. In other words, a population-based clinical trial is certainly merited, and might well provide further evidence of protection. If successful, this would be vital to U.S. citizens, especially in susceptible areas.
Since the vaccine became available in Cuba there have been, in Washington State alone, 1274 cases with 100 deaths and unknown numbers of survivors with permanent neurological impairment. It is worth noting that in some countries, after children are vaccinated against other sero-groups, incidence of sero-group B has actually increased, making the need for a vaccine all the more urgent. This danger is compounded if parents are erroneously let to believe that their children, vaccinated against other strains of meningitis, have been protected against all strains.
Last month there was a small outbreak in Fresno, California. Three cases, all serogroup B were rapidly treated. None of the three had been previously immunized with the available vaccine and all recovered.

About The Kooks
Arriving a good decade after the peak of Brit-pop, the new millennial rockers the Kooks revived that knowing, catchy clatter in the mid-2000s. Their debut Inside In/Inside Out appeared in 2006, the same year as the Arctic Monkeys' debut -- the two bands may have been mild rivals but their near-simultaneous debuts did represent the birth of a new generation of British guitar bands, one as indebted to the Strokes as they were to classic rock -- and it was a major hit in their native U.K., peaking at number two on its way toward quadruple platinum. Success came easy but it was slightly hard to maintain. Konk, their 2008 sophomore album, entered the U.K. charts at number one but slid down rather quickly, and 2011's Junk of the Heart didn't revive their fortunes, but the quartet stuck to it, re-emerging in 2014 with Listen, a record that found them broadening their sound to encompass soul, dance, and new wave while retaining a love of the classic British pop/rock that was at their foundation since their inception.
That inception happened in 2004, when vocalist/guitarist Luke Pritchard, guitarist Hugh Harris, bassist Max Rafferty, and drummer Paul Garred formed at Brighton Music College. Realizing they shared similar tastes, they took their name from a song on David Bowie's Hunky Dory and recorded a demo tape that, along with a handful of gigs, soon gathered interest from several record labels. Four months after their formation, the group signed with Virgin Records. They recorded their debut, Inside In/Inside Out, in 2005 -- two singles, "Eddie's Gun" and "Sofa Song," appeared over the course of the year -- and it was released in January 2006. Debuting at nine on the U.K. charts, it climbed its way to two as "You Don't Love Me" reached 12, while "Naïve" and "She Moves in Her Own Way" cracked the U.K. Top 10. All these hits helped Inside In/Inside Out achieve quadruple-platinum status in the U.K. but the album didn't attract much notice in America once it was released in October of that year; it did well in Australia, however, earning a platinum certification.
As the Kooks began prepping their second album in early 2008, bassist Rafferty was fired; his temporary replacement was Dan Logan, who'd previously played with Cat the Dog. Konk, named after the studio where it was recorded (a studio owned by the Kinks' Ray Davies), appeared amidst this turmoil in April 2008. It debuted at number one on the U.K. charts -- and peaked at 41 in the U.S. -- but ultimately it didn't perform as well as the debut, with just the lead single "Always Where I Need to Be" reaching the Top 10; it would eventually be certified gold in the U.K.. By the end of the year, Peter Denton joined as bassist. During the recording of their third album in 2009, drummer Garred departed; the band cycled through replacements in the studio and stage before settling on Alexis Nunez. Garred finished up sessions for their third album, Junk of the Heart, which also saw the band reuniting with their original producer, Tony Hoffer. Junk of the Heart saw the Kooks smooth up their sound but it didn't pay off commercially; it debuted at 10 on the British charts but generated no hit singles. Conscious that it was time for a change of pace, the band hired London hip-hop producer Inflo to helm 2014's Listen, which was also their first to feature Nunez on drums. The resulting record bore stronger dance, soul, and electronic influences without jettisoning pop. It was released internationally in September 2014, debuting at 16 on the U.K. charts and 85 in the U.S. In 2017, the band reconvened for an ambitious "best-of" tour in support of the release of the career-spanning Best of the Kooks compilation. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

In the first 15 minutes of last week's game against Chivas USA, the Houston Dynamo had two chances on goal. The first resulted in a goal, the second came agonizingly close.
On both plays the duo of Geoff Cameron and Corey Ashe fed perfect passes to each other. It's a sign of something for the two friends, who hope their off-the-field connection continues to translate on the field.
"He and I have a great relationship," Ashe said. "We go home and discuss the game. He looks for me and I look for him. He's a great player. He knows I like to run at guys one on one and if he sees that opportunity he plays me and I look for him. He's the quarterback of the team at central mid, good touches, give him the ball and let him do the work."
In finishing drills, the duo seems to find each other more than most. Even though its likely subconscious, Cameron agrees that they both know each other's game almost better than they know they're own games.
"We have that little connection," Cameron said. "I know how he likes the ball and if he's trucking and he's running behind the defense."
Coach Dominic Kinnear credited both players with just making good reads on both plays and downplayed any significance to the two playing together.
"I think the guy's just played what they saw," said Kinnear. "We we're making good runs off the ball and finding ourselves in good position and we had time and we we're picking the right pass. Whether it was Corey to Geoff or Geoff to Corey, I don't think it had much to do with it other than they both just picked the right pass."
With forwards Cam Weaver and Brian Ching out injured for this weekend's game against the Chicago Fire, Ashe may once again be chosen to start at right mid, pushing Brian Mullan up to forward again. If so, Ashe will have the responsibility of having to work against the Fire's talismanic midfielder Marco Pappa, something the Dynamo midfielder notes won't be easy.
"He's a good player, predominantly left footed and it's going to be a tough match," Ashe said. "But I can't really focus on him, I am more trying to focus on what I can do to them and see how it goes."
Regardless of whether Ashe or Mullan starts on the right flank Kinnear has faith in his team's depth to overcome the team's early injuries and in particular faith in Ashe.
"I just think when something bad happens to somebody that opens the door or opportunity for the other guy," Kinnear said. "We talked to Corey about playing on the right, and he's done it before. He's out there for a number of reasons, and one of the reasons is that we have confidence in him."

Fashion Icon Or Swagger Jacker? 10 Styles Rihanna Was Accused Of Stealing [Photo Gallery]
Is reckless Pop starlet Rihanna a fashion icon with unique style or a sneaky swagger jacker who steals fashion concepts from lesser knowns/D-Z List celebs? You be the judge.
Here's a photo gallery of styles Rihanna was accused of stealing. Take a look.
Doobie wrap remix
Patwa's manager on Rih-Rih jacking the doobie do: "I just find it very insulting that something we brought to those people was too "ghetto". But now Rihanna can accept awards while proudly displaying it. I am really hurt by this and wanted to scream. But I wrote to you guys. Wanted to let someone else know that she stole that look from Patwa."
Up-and-coming fashion designer/creative director Venus X (left) claims Rih-Rih stole her ghetto goth style and overall swag.
"Ghetto Goth"
"The Cassie"
Teyana Taylor's boyish-femme "style"
"I do feel like I influence a lot of artists. When I came in the game, it wasn't okay to be a girl and wear sneakers and hats and streetwear. Now the tomboy thing, it's Hot. Rihanna and Rita Ora are fly and s[w]exy. I'm happy I was able to pave that way" — Teyana (who was clearly gone off that Paula Patton)
Aaliyah's iconic style
Young elderly grey hair trend
Kelis on Rih-Rih stealing her quirky punk rock style: "You know what. Listen, it'd be totally ridiculous for me to not acknowledge it if someone asks. The reality is, what is she like 20? I mean, what else is she supposed to do? I mean honestly. I don't have any animosity at all whatsoever. That's what she's supposed to do."

Fefe Dobson's everything
Fefe on Rih-Rih biting her style: "I mean, for sure I question that, but who wouldn't. She is supposedly a fan of mine. I try to take it as a compliment. It gets a little much when she starts getting the same tattoos as me but overall I just want people to separate the image and listen to the music."

For this study, the authors analyzed data from 204,591 hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke patients. Those patients were admitted to 1,563 hospitals that use National Institute of Health Stroke Score and insurance status data and participate in the Get With the Guidelines-Stroke program. The authors concluded that while 63.7% of patients arrived to the hospital via EMS, older patients using Medicaid and Medicare insurance and severe stroke patients were more likely to use EMS services. Race and ethnic minorities and people living in rural areas were less likely to use EMS services. Use of EMS services is associated with earlier arrival, prompter evaluation, more rapid treatment, and greater eligibility for treatment with tissue-type plasminogen activator.

District: Teacher's actions were 'cause for alarm'
BEDFORD, N.Y. – School officials in New York are defending the firing of a teacher who reportedly claimed the Newtown, Conn., school shooter was programmed by the government, sought a rifle that could fit into a backpack, and expressed a desire to "kill people" and shoot down a plane.
In defending the May firing of 35-year-old Adam Heller, a Fox Lane High School English teacher, the Bedford school district argued that there was "too much of a chance that he is a time bomb waiting to explode."
"A teacher may have bizarre beliefs and still be a fine teacher," the district said in court papers responding to a lawsuit by Heller challenging his dismissal. "But when a teacher combines a paranoid belief system, demonstrated mental instability, strong suicidal tendencies, repeated expeditions to purchase weapons, and expressions of homicidal desires, and when he refuses to give an honest account of why he wanted to purchase weapons, there is genuine cause for alarm."
Nearly 300 pages of court documents filed last week by the district reveal details about Heller's eight-day disciplinary hearing that resulted in his firing and show that the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit was consulted in the case. Heller had recently acquired three guns and was seeking a fourth when Pound Ridge police stepped in. An independent psychiatric evaluation ordered by the school found that Heller could be suffering from schizophrenia and psychosis and that his suicidal thoughts could indicate a potential for "aggressive conduct."
The documents also detail Heller's online conversations regarding the Newtown massacre with a friend and "medium" who reported her concerns to the FBI. That prompted agents to notify Bedford police that Heller made multiple suicidal and homicidal statements online and spoke about stockpiling weapons.
Among the findings in the disciplinary hearing were that Heller made comments on the Internet between December 2012 and January 2013 that he believed the government was "run by Nazis" and caused the Newtown massacre by controlling the mind of shooter Adam Lanza.
Heller was also concerned his own mind was being controlled by sinister forces and withdrew about $50,000 in cash from his bank account in anticipation of "civil unrest." He expressed a belief that entities "came to this planet in order to try to control us" and the government or aliens caused Superstorm Sandy, the hearing found.
After testimony from the Bedford and Pound Ridge police chiefs, an independent psychiatrist, the school superintendent, Heller and one his friends, the hearing officer found that Heller failed to cooperate with the school-ordered psychiatric evaluation and wasn't fit to return to work.
Heller's lawyer, Michael Sussman, claims his client is simply exercising free speech rights and poses a "risk to nobody." Heller took a renewed interest in the gun culture in recent years, including in the wake of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary and the ensuing political debate about gun control legislation.
Heller, Sussman said, bought a shotgun on Dec. 13, 2012, for skeet shooting, then bought a Russian rifle the next day, the date of the Newtown massacre. A couple of weeks later, a friend, who had been caring for a man with dementia, gave Heller the man's .22-caliber rifle.
"Heller never brought these guns to school or ever intended to do so," Sussman wrote.
The district claims Heller sought a fourth gun on Jan. 18, 2013, that could be disassembled to fit into a backpack. Sussman claimed Heller didn't buy that gun out of fear it could soon be banned.
Police had been following him that day and stopped him on his way home from the gun store. They asked to talk with him at his house, where they seized his guns.

Organic products have gained immersed popularity in beauty salons and spas. Being made up of natural ingredients, they are a great alternative to cosmetics which are made of harmful chemicals. The natural ingredient of organic products is what makes it an absolute choice for utmost skin care. Not only women, but men too are spotted in beauty salons where they are busy working on their looks and taking care of their skin and hair.
What makes an organic salon work?
Organic spas are a one stop solution to all your beauty needs. Starting from pedicure, manicure, facials, bleaches and other such dedicated services, organic salons have been an absolute favorite for people all around. Massage therapies are also immensely popular and are in heavy demand these days. Spent a day at an organic spa and feel relaxed and energized. That's the beauty of a spa and what it does to rejuvenate your body mind and soul. Beauty treatments like cosmetic therapies are also something hast makes a spa unique in their approach and offering. These days spas have picked up small to moderate cosmetic therapies and one can avoid a cosmetic surgeon's clinic to avail the same.
Change the way you look
We all know how a simple change in the hairstyle can alter the way we look. At beauty spas and hair salons, skin and hair care is left at the hands of the industry professionals who offer the very best services that one and all craves for. The skin and hair care experts have been trained to deliver a dedicated service and hence one can't seem to get a better option than that anywhere but in the spas. Another dedicated service that is being offered is the color treatment which is hugely popular among all age groups starting from teen to adults. Hair coloring is an essential part as it works on the roots and improper or unskilled way of coloring can lead to heavy damage including hair loss. This is one place where an organic spa seeks to differ and offer a markedly different approach. Usage of chemical free herbal products is a plus point at the organic spas where customers are always looking out for the best deal in the market.
What water does to your skin and body?
Spa refers to water treatment. Water is an essential element that works wonders both inside and outside of human body and hence works splendidly to offer remedy thus improving health without having to consume any medicines. Moreover, it also revitalizes the mind, the body and spirit and leaves you feeling all charged and energized.
Services at ease
Beauty salons and spas are always teamed up with offers all year round so it won't be much of a difficulty to get yourself a booking. These days, many hair salons and spas offer an online booking service which makes it easy for people to book their appointments when they are busy all week and doesn't have time to visit the spa physically.

About Us
About UsEagle River Nordic was established in the Northwoods of Wisconsin in 1977. In 1981 we built an earth-sheltered passive solar ski center out in the Nicolet National Forest. This is our headquarters for bench testing skis and on-snow testing which collaborates the data from our bench test for the "best ski fit".
What sets us apart from all other cross country retail/mail order business is our testing of all the skis in our inventory, storing the data and fitting the skis to the skier. We test every ski we sell. We ask the skier questions re: height, weight, type of skiing, ability, where he intends to use the skis and snow/track conditions. With this information we look at our inventory and recommend skis or you can fill out the Ski Data Form on our website. We fit the skis to the skier and guarantee the fit of the skis.
We built the first model of the tester in 1979. It simply tested for flex of the skis. A few year's later, we developed the tester we have now that has pressure transducers every 10 cm and gives us a complete pressure distribution of the ski. The pressure distribution is the signature of that particular brand and model. We use this data for fitting skis to the skier. Over the course of years we've tested over 30,000 pairs of skis. We have skiers all over the United States & Canada, a few in Australia and even Japan that have bought their skis based on our testing. It works -- and makes our sport so much more enjoyable.
"The Fast Ski Catalog", mailed in 1979, was our first "catalog". It was a single legal size sheet printed on both sides (blue ink on grey paper). The next year we printed a "real catalog" (still blue on grey -- no 4-color). In 1982, we had our first 4-color catalog -- the beginning of our mail order business. We stock the highest quality equipment, apparel, wax and accessories that we use and believe in. We have satisfied customers all over the United States that will only buy their skis from Eagle River Nordic. Shop with confidence.

Head Coach Jerry Smith
On the game:
"First and foremost, I'm really happy for the seniors, they've put in four, and in some cases, five seasons of hard work into our program, and today was mostly about them and I thought they played extremely well. Even some seniors that aren't regular starters for us played very well today."
"All in all it was a great day, we got a shutout, scored a number of goals and created a number of chances, and didn't suffer any major injuries."
On the performance of the seniors:
"Marian Dalmy was the player of the game, she just dominated the entire match, and Bonnie, it was great that she also scored a goal as well. Julie Ryder came back and played awesome. Even though it's a 4-0 win and a shutout, Julie had a lot to do with that, she made some exceptional saves. I can't imagine the game having gone really any better."
On staying in the hunt for the WCC title:
"One of our major goals in phase four of the season is to win the conference championship, and we know that we'll have at least a share of the title going into our last game at Saint Mary's. We're excited about being in that position, and having our fate in our hands, we are very excited about that. Hopefully we'll even get the chance to win an outright conference championship, but right now we're happy to still be in the hunt."
Defender Marian Dalmy:
On scoring two goals and getting an assist on Senior Day:
"It was great and so much fun, that was the point of today, I just enjoyed myself and it was great having my friends out there with me."
On staying in the conference race with the win:
"We knew even after playing in L.A. that we could still get a share of the title, we just knew that from then on out we had to win all of our games. We really want to end our season with wins heading into the playoffs."

Weekend Getaways: Sayulita, Mexico
At American Eagle Outfitters, we believe the journey is in the destination. To that end, we're introducing a new feature on our blog. Every Friday, we'll be featuring a different city—perfect to plan your upcoming weekend getaways throughout the summer, right? We're kicking things off with a guide to Sayulita, Mexico, which was the location of our Summer 2013 photo shoot. Queue up the AEO Summer 2013 playlist and get inspired to pack your bags…
The best part of going on vacation is shopping for new clothes. Since you're headed to the beach, a swimsuit is essential. Show off your tan with the AE Macrame Triangle Bikini and take your look from beach to bonfire with the AE Open Stitch Hoodie and AE Hi Rise Festival Shortie. Save space in your bag with the AE Ruffled Romper in case you need a dressier look. Round out your suitcase with surf-inspired accessories like the AEO Beaded Wedge Sandal, AEO Laceless Espadrille, AE Bustier Cami, AEO Macrame Bag, AEO Floppy Hat, AE Sunglasses, and a bunch of bracelets.
Guys' surf style is easy because you can start any look with your swimwear, like the AE Printed Board Short. Throw on an AE Photo Real Tank and layer with the AE Signature Hoodie Tee for cooler temps when the sun goes down. Pack brightly-colored AE Longboard Shorts and the AE Plaid Short Sleeve Button-Down for a dressier look. Finish your look with the AEO Straw Fedora, AE Destroyed Denim Cutoff Shorts, AE Flip-Flops, and AE Sunglasses.
El Itacate: It's no secret that we love tacos at AE (see our past travel guides). El Itacate, located right outside the main plaza, is one step above a taco cart with a few seats outside, but the food makes up for the lack of ambiance. Portions are large and cheap – we say go for the steak and mahi mahi tacos.
If you've had one too many tacos, head over to Orangy for a fresh-pressed juice or smoothie. Located a few blocks from the beach, Orangy is the perfect place to fuel-up for a day of surfing.
Before you leave town, don't forget to stop by ChocoBanana, overlooking the town plaza. Their house roasted coffee is the best in Sayulita and their namesake ChocoBananas are world-famous. Grab a frozen chocolate banana covered in your choice of granola, coconut, or sprinkles to cool down after a day on the beach.
Sayulita is above all else a surf town. Don't worry about packing your board – the beach is lined with surf rental and instruction shops. Not into the surf scene? Try stand-up paddle boarding, or SUP. Most of the shops will have SUP boards for rent and it's a great total body work out.
If you prefer a day of relaxing to hitting the waves… well, you're on the beach! Spend the morning catching some rays and after lunch, wander the streets of Sayulita and load up on handmade jewelry, tote bags, and trinkets to bring home to your friends.
