It sounds like someone was really trying to put the "beyond" in Bed, Bath And Beyond: the company announced that metal tissue boxes containing low levels of radiation had to be removed from stores in cities across the country, including NY. The company claims there is little risk for people who already bought one of the boxes—but they said the same thing to Bruce Banner, and look how that turned out.

Bed, Bath And Beyond Yanks Radioactive Tissue Boxes From NY Stores
Who's The Biggest "Hellraiser" On Our Streets?
As the NY Post continues their takedown of the pedicab industry today, we wonder who causes the most trouble on the city's streets.
It's Raining...Icicles
Following the snow storm, there's no doubt that the sidewalks in the city weren't all ice-free this week. Earlier this year the DoT told us, "The City is generally in charge of snow removal on streets and sidewalks, though property owners share in that responsibility on adjacent sidewalks." But what about all of that melting snow dripping on your head? NY1 reports today that "The Department of Buildings says property owners should safely remove any ice or snow from buildings." (Having an icicle fall on you is just as possible as you falling on the ice, after all.) They also say that "melting snow can damage the building's structural integrity and that cold temperatures could create a safety hazard in the form of icicles." Mother Nature is quickly loosening up those frozen daggers, so be careful out there!
