BLAINE, MN, January 08, 2013 (Press-News.org) College students who head to school for the first time this winter semester with standard twin-sized sheets in tow will be in for a surprise when they make their dorm room beds for the first time. Most college dorms have twin XL size mattresses, which are longer than traditional twin mattresses, and standard twin size mattresses will not fit. In the winter semester, finding sheets designed for these beds in regular retail stores is challenging, but TwinXL.com, an online retailer catering to college students, has these sheets available year-round.
Twin XL mattresses are five inches longer than standard twin mattresses. This is a benefit for the adult-sized college student trying to get a comfortable night's sleep on one, but it provides a challenge if the only available bedding is bedding for a standard twin. Those extra five inches make a big difference in the way the sheets fit.
Unfortunately, many college freshmen are unaware of this difference, and this leaves some struggling to fit standard twin sheets and bedding onto the twin XL size mattresses, adding to the woes common to underclassmen. When students try to make a standard twin sized sheet set work, the fitted sheets end up stretched and pulled, which weakens the elastic and causes the fitted sheet to slip off during the night. TwinXL.com's extensive line of extra-long sheet sets can help eliminate this problem.
TwinXL.com's products are designed specifically for college dorm settings. This means that the colors and patterns appeal to the college age student. From simple solid colors to trendy prints, students will find exactly what they need for their dorms, and all in the size that truly fits. The company also offers a variety of materials, including microfiber and high-quality Egyptian cotton, to give students sheets that will last their full time at college.
In addition to sheets, TwinXL.com offers comforters, mattress pads and bed skirts, all in the Twin XL size. It is the only place a college student needs to shop to find the bedding and dorm supplies needed to head back to school in comfort and style. The TwinXL.com team recommends purchasing at least two sets, because college life is busy, and sometimes students do not have time to run a load of laundry when their sheets need to be washed.

Motorists Need to Be Cautious When Driving Near New San Jose Bike Lanes
2013-01-08
If you've been traveling around San Jose, you may have noticed some new lanes on local streets. These lanes are part of an enhanced green bikeways project approved by the San Jose City Council, with construction to continue in 2013. This project is meant to get more cyclists on the streets, slow down traffic by eliminating motor vehicle lanes, and ultimately make the city safer for both cyclists and pedestrians. But, as some of the new bike lanes replace vehicle lanes, drivers who are not up to date on the latest developments could be at risk of causing bicycle accidents.

Nap Nanny Baby Recliners Pegged As Dangerous Product, Thousands Recalled
2013-01-08
In late December, four national retailers agreed to recall more than 150,000 Nap Nanny baby recliners in light of reports that the items had caused at least five infant deaths. Designed to cradle young children while they slept, the foam recliners apparently did not feature an effective restraint system, and it was discovered that infants could easy fall over the side.
On December 27, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced their finding that Nap Nanny seats, which were sold between 2009 and 2012, pose a "substantial risk of injury and death to infants." ...
Minnesota Department of Public Safety Cracks Down on Holiday Drunk Driving
2013-01-08
The colder season is filled with holiday festivities. It is tradition for Minnesotans to partake in the merriment of Thanksgiving get-togethers, Christmas parties and New Year's Eve celebrations. The holidays are a time to reunite with old friends and family. However, along with many of these festivities comes the spirit of overindulgence: plenty of gifts, an assortment of rich foods, and in many instances, one too many alcoholic beverages.
In the month of December 2012, Minnesota's Department of Public Safety reported that approximately 1,300 people had been arrested ...
New Government Report Details Most Prevalent Workplace Injuries
2013-01-08
In late 2012, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report compiling all the latest data on occupational injuries and illnesses. The report paints a picture of injury rates that have been relatively stable over the last few years, without any significant gains in workplace safety. Unsurprisingly, those working in certain occupations were far more likely to suffer from a workplace injury.
Injury rates largely unchanged
For every 10,000 full time employees working in 2011, 117 suffered a nonfatal occupational injury or illness that required days away from work ...
