The new Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) crib standards have been published. The new standards were officially recorded in the Federal Register on December 28, 2010. Consumers must replace all noncompliant cribs by December 28, 2012. This new CPSC standards stipulate an outright ban of all drop side cribs as well as incorporating other new, mandatory standards for non-drop side (fixed side) cribs (see below). As long as you check your cribs and ascertain that they are working properly, you may continue to use them until December 28, 2012. The new standards include: • The elimination of traditional “drop side” mechanisms. • Improvement to structural integrity of crib slats with a corresponding new test to pass. • Increased severity vertical mattress impact test to pass. • Horizontal cyclic test to pass. • Elimination of wood screws from key structural elements. • Reduction of toehold exposure. • Marking and labeling improvements. • Testing by a third party conformity assessment body who is CPSC accredited. According to CPSC, no permanent retrofit kit or other “fix” will address all seven of the points covered under the new standards. When purchasing cribs, you should request a certificate of compliance. The certificate of compliance must state that the crib meets the new standards set out in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) – either 16 CFR 1219 (for a full size crib) or 16 CFR 1220 (for a compact-size crib).

Increased … www.physorg.com Like a recurring bad dream, the Occupy movement returned this past weekend. This time there were no appeals about the downtrodden and left behind–only an outburst of violence and vile rhetoric that showed its true face. This is a movement that only pretends to be sympathetic to the victims of America’s current economic problems. Actually, the Occupy gang is thankful for the opportunity these problems offer–an opportunity to bash America once again and everything it stands for. The violence and chaos we saw over the weekend–highlighted by ritualized burning of the American flag and expressions of naked anti-Semitism–is what the Occupy movement is all about. Never mind the 1% and the 99%: that’s all window dressing for a movement that is and always has been 100% anti-American. I say “always has been” because the occupiers are umbilically connected to the Communist Party of the 1930s and the radical New Left of the 1960s. We have seen these people before. They come not to make America better, but to destroy it and to substitute their deformed totalitarian ideas for a system of government and an engine of economic power that have been the envy of the world. And the worst thing about the Occupy …
