Another product recall has been announced Friday as a baby product manufacturer recalled about 447,000 of its infant car seat carriers, including some branded with Eddie Bauer and Disney logos. This was due to reports that the car seat carrying handle can come loose and cause injuries to the baby.

The government announced the recall amid reports that babies have sustained injuries after falling off the car seat when the handles become unhinged. The government said

consumers should immediately stop using the seat’s carrying handle. The bolts that attach the handle to the seat can loosen, causing the handle to separate and creating a fall hazard for babies.

Car seat recall/Dorel Juvenile Group car seats. What car seat brands are included in the recall? The Dorel Juvenile Group car seats recalled include Safety 1st, Eddie Bauer, Cosco and Disney car seats all made in China from January 2008 to April 2009. They were sold at department stores in the United States from January 2008 to December 2009.

The government announced that consumers should not use the handle until a repair kit has been installed. The repair kit includes new screws that consumers can attach to the seat carriers. They can order these free repair kits by contacting Dorel at 866-762-3316 or visiting http://www.djgusa.com/safety_notice.

Is it a sign from above? A divine message? Some people think so including the owner of a calf born in Connecticut last week with a special marking on its forehead – a white cross! Here’s the report from the Associated Press:

A holy cow perhaps? Or maybe a divine bovine? A calf born at a dairy farm in Sterling last week has a white marking on its forehead in the approximate shape of a cross. The calf’s owner, Brad Davis, told WFSB-TV that he thinks the marking may be a message from above, though he’s still trying to figure out
what that message might be.

The mostly brown calf is half Jersey, half Holstein. Neighborhood children named it Moses.

Here’s one for the books, one of the craziest pranks I have ever heard. A woman in a Hummer limousine walks into a Burlington coat store, walks up to the register and announces she had won the lottery. Further, she announces that she will be paying for everyone’s purchases up to $500. Well, that was enough to cause a commotion in Columbus, Ohio with people grabbing clothes and other items, lining up at the register and calling all their friends and relatives to do the same. But, as it turned out, it was
a hoax, a crazy prank by a woman named Linda Brown.

Linda Brown’s lottery hoax then caused a riot at Burlington. Angry Burlington customers (angry at Linda Brown and her hoax) realizing that they were not going to get what they wanted and were promised, threw down clothes and thrashed the store. Some even just ran away with them. According to reports, an employee described the aftermath as like hurricane Katrina just went through the store. (Photo Source)

Linda Brown was arrested and kept in jail pending a mental evaluation. No charges have been filed against her pending the result of the evaluation. Meanwhile, police will be studying security tapes to identify the looters.

It’s that time of the year again, when the most prestigious and coveted awards in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace are given by the Norwegian Committee according to the parameters set by the 1895 will and estate of Swedish chemist and inventor Alfred Nobel. The Nobel Prizes in the specific disciplines (Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, and Literature) and the Prize in Economics, which is commonly identified with them, are widely regarded as the most prestigious award one can receive in those fields. The Nobel Peace Prize conveys social prestige and is often
politically controversial.

For 2009, the prizes in Physiology or Medicine have been announced and it went to Elizabeth H. Blackburn of the University of California, San Francisco, Carol W. Greider of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD and Jack W. Szostak from the Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital. Likewise, the prize for Physics has also been announced: Charles K. Kao of Standard Telecommunication Laboratories, and to Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith of Bell Laboratories. The awardee for this year’s Chemistry prize will be announced anytime now while that for Literature will be announced tomorrow. But the most anticiapted Nobel prize each year is that for Peace.

According to Nobel’s will, the Peace Prize should be awarded “to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” The selection of Nobel Peace Prize winners sometimes causes controversy, as it has become greatly politicized and not related to issues of peace and the list of winners includes people who formerly used violence and terrorism, but then later made exceptional concessions to non-violence in the attempt to achieve peace. For 2009, who will be the winner? No one has a clue except the men and women tasked to deliberate on who will get it.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2009 winner will be announced on Friday. Watch the live stream of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner’s announcement HERE. The live web cast from the Norwegian Nobel Institute, Oslo, Norway, will be on Friday, October 9, 11:00 a.m. CET, 09:00 a.m. GMT (link will be not active until 30 minutes before announcement time). Be among the first to know who this year’s laureate will be.

NOTE: The same live stream link is where you can watch the announcements for Chemistry, Literature and Economics.
