The Federal Government has issued a recall for Old Navy footed and non-footed one-piece sleepers with the style number starting with 476746. The Healthy Canadians notice says: “They are made of 100% cotton. The hazard identified by Health Canada’s sampling and evaluation program has determined that these products do not meet the flammability requirements for children’s sleepwear under Canadian law. Loose-fitting children’s sleepwear can contact ignition sources such as stove elements, candles, and matches more readily than tight-fitting sleepwear, and once ignited will burn rapidly, potentially resulting in severe burns to large areas of the child’s body. For this reason, cotton is not permitted in loose-fitting sleepwear. Neither Health Canada nor Old Navy has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of the affected sleepwear.” The recall notes that some 15,550 of the recalled products were sold in Canada between June 2012 to February 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and return them to where they were purchased.

Timothy Doner isn’t the captain of the basketball team. He’s not the student council president and he’s not starring in his school’s play. But the 17-year-old teenager easily stands apart from the rest of his peers at school, if not the rest of the youth in the U.S. Doner will practice languages at restaurants and meet-ups throughout New York, speaking Arabic in Astoria, Queens to Mandarin in New York City’s Chinatown. He’ll even order his kabob from street vendors using arabic.  New Tang  Dynasty TV. 

Toronto management committee has voted to include showers at a city hall bike station so that sweaty cyclists can emerge from their trip downtown smelling sweet. The decision follows previous approval to put showers in a bike station to be built at Union Station. Of course, not all cyclists will be able to use the showers even if they want to. There will not be enough. In fact, it is an open question whether anyone will use them. It depends how many people like the idea of showering in a municipal parking garage. (You summon up your images, we’ll summon up ours). Beyond this, the whole thing will require the loss of 24 parking spaces which at present produce $70,000 in revenue. The total cost of the station and showers will be $1.2 million. This is being done, so far as anyone can tell, because riding a bicycle to work is an act of good. Story
