Central to the mission of the Program in Physical Therapy is the mission and goals of Florida Gulf Coast University and the College of Health Professions and Social Work. Reflective of this, the academic program is designed to meet the diverse needs of the college students of today and of the future. The program prepares students to enter contemporary practice in the field of physical therapy. Students become proficient in employing current sources of information as they relate to learning and evidence-based practice. Students develop into self-directed learners through the active learning format that characterizes the program - skills that aid them in being resourceful scholars and clinicians.
The Doctor of Physical Therapy Program at Florida Gulf Coast University is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), 111 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314; telephone: 703-706-3245; email: email@example.com; website: www.capteonline.org.
Students are admitted to the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program in the fall of each year. For priority consideration, all application materials must be received by December 16th of the year in which entry is sought. Application materials received after December 16th will be considered on a space available basis. All applications to the Doctor of Physical Therapy program must be submitted through the Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service (www.ptcas.org).
The Department of Physical Therapy and Human Performance conducts a competitive admissions process. The following are the minimum requirements for admission to the entry-level physical therapy program. (Please note that meeting the minimum requirements for admission does not guarantee admission to the Physical Therapy program.) All applicants must have:
Criminal Background Check
All students admitted to the DPT program must complete a criminal background check. A student may encounter potential problems with clinical education placement and/or licensure as a physical therapist if he or she has a criminal record. For specific information, contact the Florida Board of Physical Therapy Practice through its website. If a student has a criminal record, it is the responsibility of the student to inquire with the Florida Board of Physical Therapy Practice as to whether a criminal record may limit the student's ability to obtain licensure as a physical therapist or practice in certain settings.
Admissions Decision Appeals
A student may appeal admissions decisions by contacting the Office of the Dean in the College of Health Professions and Social Work at 239-590-7451. Through the Dean's Office, the student brings an appeal to the CHPSW Student Appeals Committee. If the student is not satisfied with the outcome of this process, he or she may bring the appeal to the University Ombudsman (www.fgcu.edu/ombudsman).

INNISFIL — Home-based businesses can expect some new municipal standards following bylaw reviews, the town's economic development officer says.
Small businesses will be part of a zoning review, Rachel Sullivan told small business owners at an Oct. 16 information session held at town hall.
The Town is undertaking "a very comprehensive zoning bylaw review" to update standards and guidelines, which "are very important for local businesses, especially for home-based businesses," Sullivan said.
She invited business owners to review the draft bylaws and give town staff their input, either directly, or by attending an upcoming public information session.
The Town of Innisfil does not licence businesses and has no data on how many home businesses are in the municipality.
During the session, Mayor Barb Baguley reiterated the importance of small businesses to Innisfil's economy.
"The growth of Innisfil's economy is tied directly to the success of small and medium-sized businesses, particularly those operating out of homes or shared office space," said Mayor Barb Baguley. "What's become apparent to me is small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of our economy. We're fortunate in Innisfil to have an amazing group of small businesses. Helping small businesses succeed is one of the key focuses from Inspiring Innisfil 2020."
Guest speakers lawyer Marc Duco and chartered accountant Susan Morrison, both who work in Innisfil, highlighted the legal and financial pros and cons of different methods of setting up a business, including sole proprietorships, partnerships or incorporation.
"It's important to have a team giving you proper advice," stressed Duco. "In terms of estate planning, no matter what business entity is used, everyone should have a will and a power of attorney."
Staff of the Innisfil Public Library gave a brief video presentation of the Digital Media Lab now set up at the Lakeshore branch. Here, free of charge, businesspeople can avail themselves in the latest computer hardware and software in order to create professional looking promotional materials for their enterprises.

Leg Splint
Charles Eames experimented with molded shell forms for chairs before the war, collaborating with Eero Saarinen on an award-winning chair design in 1940. These experiments were put to good use during the war when Eames and his colleagues used molded plywood technology to develop a lightweight leg splint and a litter for soldiers injured in the field. Just as a chair seat needed to conform to the human body, so did a splint. The ability to mold plywood efficiently into curving shapes had important implications for postwar design.

A car's Volvo power steering system allows all drivers to control the wheels using a low amount of exertion. The system makes use of a particular hydraulic fluid which helps in providing effortless and uncomplicated steering. A power-steering pump handles the hydraulic liquid according to the user's handling needs. To regulate the amount of power that the hydraulic liquid makes, your automobile makes use of a power steering pump.
A power-steering pump works with the hydraulic liquid depending on the motorist's handling situation. Routinely inspect your automobile's Volvo power-steering system together with all its own parts for any water leaks. Should you notice a difference in controlling your vehicle, examine the power steering parts ASAP. Replacing your power steering pump may be challenging for beginners since you need to take out various other components as well. If you can not replace the Volvo pump by yourself, head off straight to a repair shop that will assist.
In case you see any kind of liquid leaking under your Volvo close to your steering parts, get a mechanic to look at it quickly. Get the perfect component from different brands including Motorcraft, MBL and Dayco to suit your car using our user-friendly online search engine to find the things you need. All of our products have a cheapest price guarantee as a result you are sure to get the most value for your money when you purchase at Parts Train.

Austin Baby CLOSED IN FEB 2010
The diaper service still exists though.
I really want to love this store, but just can't – I started shopping at Austin baby when I was expecting my son 2 years ago. I signed up for their diaper service, and never had any problems. My problems started when I wanted to actually shop there.
So many times I have gone into the store for something, diapers, liners or whatnot, and they are never in stock. They are constantly out of what I want.
After the 5th or 6th time, I started calling to see if they have the item I want. Well that would be great, if they answered the phone. I hardly ever can get through to them.
I want to love this store. I want to shop local for the baby items I need, but I just don't even bother with Austin Baby anymore.
Cool Local Store, No Organization, Questionable Service – What I love about Austin Baby is that it was developed by a group of mothers who want to help other mothers make wise choices when it comes to raising babies. It is full of information about cloth diapering, offers what looks like a wonderful diaper service, and almost everything you find in there is high quality stuff. You can also find many things organic, hip baby clothes, and used diaper covers!
Now for the cons. The service at this store lacks in organization. Wanting to support local business, I placed an order through the store at the end of May rather than order directly from the manufacturer. I tried to do this online, but the checkout page wasn't sized correctly and I couldn't see it all. I placed the order by phone. A few days later someone called thinking I ordered something I didn't. After clearing this up, "the order was placed." By the end of June I hadn't heard anything so I called the store and the woman who answered said she had just been looking at the order and was going to call me. But I had to call? She told me she wasn't sure the order had been placed, she'd need to talk to the owner and would call me back that day. Two days later I still hadn't heard anything, so I called. The person who answered said she'd look into it and call me back that day. A day later I received a call from the person I believe to be the owner, stating that the reason they didn't have the order was that the company didn't have it in stock. That was absolutely NOT TRUE. I had been to the company website myself and it was in stock. Why not be honest, and own up to forgetting to place the order? She told me she'd attempt to place another order. She called back, told me she placed the order, and since I had to wait so long, they'd drop it off at my house. In early July, the order arrived and I was told I could pick it up. I didn't remind them they were supposed to drop it off at my house.
In this time, I remembered that when I set up diaper service 6 months ago, I was told that the monthly direct pay agreement would be mailed to me by the owner. I followed up to see whether they had received this authorization (as I didn't recall receiving it). Sure enough, they didn't have the authorization form; I never received it!
At the store, I asked the sales person whether they had any Bac-Out. They did not. She told me that they sell out of it quickly, and when I asked when she expected to have more in, she replied "It's an item we regularly stock." So I asked her whether deliveries were made on a certain day, to which she responded that they weren't, but that they regularly stock the bac-out sprayer. So helpful, thanks! Then I asked if the small baskets of diaper covers were all they had in stock (aside from the used ones). They were, "why?" There were about 2 covers of each size except small. I didn't even ask when she thought they'd have more smalls in. As much as I love to support local businesses, I had to go home and order Bac-Out and diaper covers in appropriate sizes from the internet! And before I left, I requested the credit card authorization form so that there would be no excuse for them not having it!
could be better – i registered here before i had my baby. kept hearing from my friends that when they went to buy things off the registry, they didnt have it in stock. i've gone myself on several different occasions to buy diapers or doublers or liners and each time they are on back order have a wait of 2 or more weeks. when i go on line to different websites im able to order what i need and have it delivered in 2 days, dont get why they cant. its hard to wait on diapers or supplies for your baby when you need them. bad business, have lost a lot of business from us. not impressed, but could be great.
Best baby store in Austin! – this is the best baby store ever! All natural prooducts, revolutionalry products u dont see anywhere else except online and can buy here! Cloth diapers, baby carriers, toys, cute baby and toddler tees, shoes, natural insect repellant that works, nursing items, furniture (round crib) etc. Great tye-dyes that say "Hippie"! The staff is great very friendly and helpful! Great play area for kids and babies! My kids played for an hr, no prob! Park right up front. Local mom's makes some items!
Great experiences shopping here – I've been to this store a few times since I started cloth diapering my toddler and always receive great customer service. They have tons of cloth diapers and accessories, neat baby clothes, baby/toddler shoes, some body products, slings, and other accessories. I love how they have locally made stuff! I have not been to another diapering store, but I think their selection of diapers, and "natural" parenting products is great. Far better than Babies R Us.
We started cloth diapering later in the game (when my child was 13 months) so I had tons of questions about getting started. Every time I've been in there are quite a few customers in the shop that need help, but we are all tended to. The owner guided me through the process of selecting just the right diaper for my toddler without spending a small fortune. I appreciate that as there are so many types to choose! I walked out of the store confident that cloth diapering would work for me and all the stuff to get started. When I did a lot of research on different diaper forums, I was pretty confused about what diaper to get, how to get started, and how to wash them. It was nice driving to the shop and just getting some advice and do my shopping in person. I think they have some cloth first-timer classes for free, but I didn't go to one.
I've since been back a few times, and I always receive as much help as I need. Their return policy didn't seem disagreeable to me at all considering the nature of the product. I've always been able to park in the parking lot. We're still cloth diapering, and I think a lot of that is due to getting some advice from a real person that has cloth diapered her own kids. I will shop there again and would recommend it to a friend.
beautiful store! – I love Austin Baby! The only place in town with cloth diapers, free diapering demos, kind mamas, and unique baby items. Please stay around b/c Austin moms need you!! love it!
Great personal service – I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed my visit to Austin Baby today. I wanted to buy a pouch for my baby that is due in June. The staff were so helpful in giving me information about babywearing and helping to fit me during my visit. They even encouraged me to try on different sizes and to walk around the store to see how it feels.
But, I thought the most amazing part was during my visit, was how the owner responded to a business person waiting to talk to her about some new opportunities. Instead of talking with that person, which I would have totally understood and would have been fine with, she asked her to wait and spent the next 10 minutes helping me out before going back to have the business conversation. I felt very valued and important and even though it was something I wouldn't expect someone to do, it was really nice and appreciated.
I was concerned that I may not have picked the right size for my baby and because my body shape is different right now due to the pregnancy. They assured me, that even though it would be past the 60 day return policy, as long as the pouch was in a returnable condition (no spit-up, pet hair, stains, etc.) , that I could exchange the sizes.
I think if you are interested in supporting a local, growing business, going to Austin Baby would be a good choice. The personal service doesn't compare to any chain or internet store that I have experienced. It was a great visit and comforting for a first time mom.
Local, friendly, hard-to-find baby items – I was looking for a place in Austin that sold the Moby wraps and found them here. The store is a little hard to find, but I had no problems with parking. The sales woman was very friendly and showed me how to use the wrap. There is also an area for older children to play while mom shops. I didn't experience any of the problems others have suggested, but I also have not had to return anything. I will go back to buy cloth diapers though.
AVOID! Terrible Customer Service – 1 star is too high, but was the lowest I could give. Having delivered a premature infant was stressful enough. But to add to the insult was the poor service here. They were happy to sell you items, but returns were a negative. After I was incorrectly fitted for a sling they refused to refit or take back the sling. They prided themselves that it would fit until 35 pounds. Well at 8 pounds my child could not fit, this was even after I lost 20 pounds from the pregnancy in 1 month.
After hounding the staff and waiting for the call from the owner, I received the run around again. The owner finally contacted me after months of waiting and excuses. Thus you can see how easy it was to pass the 60 day return period. Each person would give a different story of what they could do to help me with the sling issue. I was even invited to the store to remedy the situation. Their idea of a remedy of course was to return the item (get no refund), pay them for another and be excused. That certainly is different then the story over the phone. Needless to say after being ignored and treated poorly I won't be going back. My mother's group will also not be supporting such a negative store. BUYER BEWARE!!

Halloween's goriest costumes go extra-small
Prepare yourself this Halloween for a procession of pint-sized trick-or-treaters like none you've encountered before. If the companies that gamble on offering the right mix of costumes are correct, visitors to your doorstep will include a grisly array of waist-high killer clowns brandishing blood-soaked machetes, deranged convicts and zombie ninjas armed with knives.
Add to that the full roster of fictional killers who gave people nightmares during the '80s and '90s — Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees from "Friday the 13th" and Chucky, the murderous doll from "Child's Play" — now available in sizes that can fit a 5-year-old.

Summary of The Tao of Willie Summary of The Tao of Willie Reviews for The Tao of Willie An Excerpt from The Tao of Willie
Born in small-town Texas during the Great Depression, Willie Nelson was raised to believe in helping his neighbors and living without pretense. After many hardscrabble years as a poorly paid songwriter (often watching his work become a gold mine for other performers), Willie finally found his own voicethe gentle but unmistakably honest sound that has made him an American icon. Now the master of harmonization has created a guide to finding harmony in everyday life. Featuring vignettes from each chapter of his seventy-plus years (along with plenty of his favorite jokes), The Tao of Willie captures his views on money, love, war, religion, cowboys, and other essential Willie topics.[T]he book is a wily tour through Nelsons obsessions. . . . (The New Times Book Review)
Loosely based on the principles of the Chinese philosophy of the Tao Te Cheng, which Willie has admired and followed for much of his adult life, this inspiring and entertaining collection of Willie wisdom takes us from his roadhouse days, when he united redneck rockers with straitlaced country music fans, to the mega-sized benefit concerts and environmentalism that define his boundless heart. In the spirit of his fellow Texan Harvey Penicks Little Red Book, Willies timeless insights sparkle with clarity: Its like having a one-on-one conversation with the sage himself.
Seriously fun guide offers readers the full Nelson. . . . [a] whimsical yet serious guide to happiness. . . . The Willie philosophy is simple, a blending of do unto others as you would have them do unto you and dont sweat the small stuff. (Boston, Sunday Herald)

Randolph Plaza
Unbuilt Design Award Submission
Randolph Plaza is a proposed Class A commercial office tower in Chicagos Loop. It is located within the Randolph Street open space plan, and faces a public plaza across Franklin Street. The Grade Level lobby is designed to relate to the plaza, with a large wintergarden that features a commissioned work of public art, as well as landscaping and water features.
The lease levels are designed to optimize lease depth efficiencies, and to provide column-free corner offices. The exterior wall is floor-to-ceiling glass throughout, providing stunning city views. A two-story atrium is provided at the reception level of the mid-rise tenant.
The building is designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification, employing exemplary building energy optimization and water reclamation systems. Fuel cells provide a combined heat and power source, generating power on-site through natural gas conversion, resulting in a significant reduction of utility power demand. Heat produced as a by-product of conversion is used for heating domestic water. High-efficiency boilers heat tenant floors through the fire protection sprinkler system. Storm water and domestic grey water are harvested and treated on-site, and circulated to irrigate landscaping and to flush high-efficiency toilets and urinals, significantly reducing potable water use and storm water discharge.

When Did Anti-Abortion Radicalization Become Acceptable?
Rep. King held hearings on the threat of Muslim "radicalization" in America--but what about women and abortion doctors who face threats every day?
LAKEWOOD, COLO.—On Thursday, the House Homeland Security Committee held a hearing on the threats Muslim "radicalization" poses to America.
Meanwhile, a woman seeking healthcare at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Denver, or anywhere in the country, was screamed at as she walked through the door. How about some Homeland Security for her?
Every day in this country, reproductive healthcare providers at Planned Parenthood clinics, and abortion doctors at other facilities, and the patients who need them, are routinely harassed and threatened. When did this become OK?
Dr. George Tiller, an abortion provider in Kansas, used to wear a bulletproof vest to work. He made the mistake of not wearing one to his church, which is where he was shot and killed. How many other civilian professionals have to wear a bulletproof vest to do their job? [See which members of Congress get the most from pro-choice groups.]
We have so normalized the anti-choice extremism in this country that a certain level of mundane, daily ugliness has become unremarkable. It's a yawner to policymakers, unfit for congressional hearings or regular news coverage.
And if the harassment inside the building isn't enough, now policymakers are forcing harassment inside the building. Texas Republicans in the state legislature voted this week to force any woman seeking an abortion—even if she's a victim of rape or incest—to undergo a sonogram and a lecture about the fetus. Similar laws have passed and are likely to pass in other states. Because, apparently, women are too dumb to think through the implications on their own.
This harassment even extends to ballot measures. Last fall I worked on the No on 62 Campaign, part of a broad-based coalition opposing an anti-choice amendment to the Colorado Constitution. Part of our training for the No on 62 Campaign included a briefing by Planned Parenthood security officers, many of whom have worked in law enforcement for years. [See which members of Congress get the most from pro-life groups.]
The Planned Parenthood clinic in Denver where we often met—and this is a pro-choice city in a pro-choice state—is ringed with a 10-foot-high fence, cameras, and manned by a guard at the gate. Every day, a group of about a dozen people parks outside with grisly pictures and bullhorns and screams at anyone—patient, provider, visitor—who enters the clinic. Even our campaign headquarters were the object of nasty phone calls—our pregnant admin person, who answered the phones, got called some ugly names at least a couple times a week. It became a humorous game of epithet bingo—"Have you been called a fornicating whore today?"
Our press conference in Colorado Springs was hijacked by the opposition, who shoved people out of the way to grab the microphone and start yelling. Our Facebook page was hijacked by the opposition posting gruesome pictures and accusing us of being "No on 62 Nazis," and put up their own Facebook page stating the same. And when I accompanied one of our spokespeople, Jeremy Shaver from the Interfaith Alliance, to a debate, there were armed guards in the room keeping an eye on the other side. [Check out a roundup of this month's best political cartoons.]
It's not the posturing about "outside agitators" that worries me. It's the acceptance of a level of hatred directed at women, especially poor women, seeking reproductive healthcare and abortions. And it's the acceptance of threats and violence directed at the doctors, staff, and healthcare workers trying to provide it to them.

Denver >Lodging > The Oxford Hotel
1600 17th St, Denver, CO | Directions 8020239.752131 -104.999337
Neighborhoods: Northwest Denver, Union Station, LoDo
Great hotel BUT.. – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!
Excellent History and location – This hotel is literally a block from Union Station, one block off the 16th Street Mall, and within walking distance of most of LoDo. They offer a courtesy car that will take you to the convention center, Pepsi center, coors field, etc.
Negatives are: the (quite) small queen room I stayed in goes for over $100 a night, parking costs $15 a night for public lot with no In/Out or $26 for Valet. Internet is only free your first 24 hours. No Breakfast, no coffee/tea in the room.
Watch your bill! This hotel isn't worth the price – We went to this hotel to celebrate a special day. We arrived at check in time and found our room wasn't ready. We had to wait a hour for our room to be ready. We upgraded to a nicer room and when we walked in we quickly realized we should not have wasted the money.
The room doors still use old school keys which is cute but not very comforting when it comes to safety. It appears the windows have never been upgraded since the hotel was built in the 1800's and there are no blinds for privacy. One must close the heavy drapes to keep in the warmth, to keep out the horns of traffic below and to have privacy but you sacrifice sunshine. The staff was nice enough to give us complementary pretzels and the five piece bath was nice.
We checked out thinking the hotel was just okay until I looked at my credit card bill a few days later. The hotel had charged us $250 after we checked out. When I called to see why they told us the fee was for smoking in our non-smoking room. My husband and I DO NOT SMOKE and I have no idea where they came up with this charge! I called four times in attempts to get this fixed. Each time someone told me they would call me back after investigating the charge but I never received a return call. The last time I called they told me they would refund the charge only because I was contesting it and they had to, not because they were actually wrong and we really didn't smoke in the room. They eventually refunded the charge over a week later.
Wonderful Experience – My wife and I stayed at the Oxford Hotel this December at it was a fantastic surprise. The hotel staff set the tone for our stay right from the start. Two gentlemen were already unloading our bags before I stepped out of the vehicle. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The room service staff was helpful and timely. The next morning, I found a large silver coffee dispenser in the foyer area of our hotel floor accompanied with glass mugs, creamer, etc. The hotel staff does this every morning on each floor, as well as to stock the lobby lounge with complementary copies of the New York Times, USA Today, and the Denver Post. When my wife and I decided to go exploring Lower Downtown (LoDo) that morning, the hotel concierge recommended we use their complimentary town car (which will take you anywhere you need to go, and pick you up, within a 2 mile radius of the hotel). The driver was extremely nice, and provided several suggestions for dinner/entertainment. Last but not least, the fitness center was great as well (moderately sized but equipped with numerous treadmills, eliptical trainers, bikes, free weights, and a dedicated area for fitness classes (which are offered by the fitness center/spa staff). Overall, for the service and price, the Oxford Hotel is hard to beat!
Suspicious – We had a horrible experience at the Oxford Hotel. The hotel itself was satisfactory however when I found extra charges on my account from room service I tried to resolve it with the front desk management. Instead of crediting my account he ADDED more money! If I didn't double check my bill again I would have paid more than what is supposed to be charged.
I have called numerous times and finally spoke to a supervisor who assured me that she would send me an itemized copy of my bill. Seven weeks later and I am still waiting for it so that I can dispute the extra charges.
I would highly advise to double check the folio before leaving the Oxford Hotel. There is definitely something going on specially with the room service charges and added gratuity.
How does this place get 4 stars? – 1st room: paint bubled in areas in the main room, obvious where the wall has been patched, paint chipped in some areas in the bathroom. Bathrrom was small, plastic bath tub. Toliet made the bathroom feel very much like a public stall. Holes visible in the wall where the head board used to be attached. Several tiles were cracked in the bathroom. Got woken up at 5:30 with various loud trucks. Noise continued until 8:00. Room temp. was warm and the air conditioning was non-functional. Sheets had ciggarette burns. Boasted 42" plasma TV. Picture quality was horrible. May be a good tv but they had a poor video feed.
Requested a different room. Explained problems with room. Staff at front desk was RUDE, but changed my room. No offer to help move rooms.
New room was much improved. But the plug on the sink was non-functional.
Horrible experience.
Shoe shines and sherry on the house: Stay at this grand hotel and get rock-star service. – The Scene
In 1891, the luxurious Oxford Hotel was built next to Union Station and became the hub of downtown Denver. With a renovation in 1983, it now anchors the revitalized Lower Downtown District. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Oxford is Denver's oldest remaining grand hotel. Coors Field, the 16th Street Mall, Larimer Square, the Tattered Cover bookstore and many fine restaurants, shops and galleries are all within easy walking distance.
The Details
Furnished with European antiques, the lobby area and guest rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The Oxford is known for exemplary service, including complimentary tea and coffee, afternoon sherry, newspapers, shoe shines and downtown limousine service. Inside the Oxford, McCormick's Fish House and the popular art-deco Cruise Room bar (modeled after the bar on the Queen Mary) are favorite downtown destinations.
A TRULY WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!! – My daughter & I visited the Oxford Hotel and were very thankful for the terrific service, beautiful rooms, and for the delicious restaraunte (McCormick's). Also, the Tattered Cover was awesome. What a truly superb holiday!
overrated – My husband and I stayed at the Oxford a while ago on our anniversary and to begin, the room was gorgeous and the doormen were extremely nice. I loved being driven to dinner...BUT just a warning, watch your bill...we were charged for parking when it was included in our package and then were charged for opening the mini-bar but did not take anything. In their defense, the charges were refunded two months later after 4 phone calls. Great weekend, just a reminder to keep your eyes open.

Soft Sided Portable Dog Crate 23 24
Great for Travel-portable and lightweight We use the crate for traveling in the car with our 50 lb dog and the large size works perfectly in the back of our 2013 escape. The crate is easy to set up and tear down and is lovingly referred to as "Katie's pack-and-play." I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a portable crate and has a dog who is crate trained. As this crate has a good deal of mesh, I would not recommend this crate for dogs with crate anxiety or highly destructive dogs. We are currently on our second soft-sided crate. The fabric is extremely durable and I think the crate's weak spot is the mesh. As our then puppy was not 100% crate trained, the first crate did a good job withstanding lots of pawing, but was eventually sent back after almost a year of use since our then puppy had ripped a few holes in the mesh and had ripped off the zipper clip. We had no problems returning the first crate and were happy to receive a new one. January 10, 2014
Not Very Durable My 3 month old puppy, who only weighs 9 pounds, broke through the zipper of this crate the second time that I put him in it, which leads me to believe that it is not durable at all. It is an expensive crate that can't even serve it's purpose with a 9 pound puppy. April 17, 2014
Super travel option! This is a great travel crate. I got the XL size for my 80 lb. labradoodle and it is just the right size. I wouldn't suggest it for a dog bigger than that. It is easy to set up, lightweight but sturdy, and folds flat for storage. Definitely worth the price. Best part was that I needed it in 2 days and Frontgate got it shipped immediately to me. They are the best! March 7, 2014
Zippers broke I loved the look and idea of this crate. Initially, we were happy but, my 5 month old standard poodle easily bit through two zippers in a matter of 1.5 months. Bummer. Clearly, the zipper piece needs to be upgraded for pets and this is not a dog that is going around our home destroying things. March 5, 2014
Wonderful Travel Crate This Crate is easy and quick to assemble and just as easy and compact to store. Our beagle does not like riding in the car, but this allows her to ride comfortably and safely. She also enjoys having it as her home away from home when she travels. It is sturdy and easy to keep clean. It is also both prettier and lighter than most travel crates. February 3, 2014
Nice product Love the product. Wish the side zipper would unizip from the top so dog could poke his head out just a little. The xl size is very big. I could almost fit two 90 lbs. labs in there. January 19, 2011
withstands scratching and pawing Our new puppy had long nails for awhile and clawed at the crate a few times. To my surprise, no holes! Durable and looks great. January 5, 2014
NIce crate This crate is perfect for a behaved dog, i have seen my friends crate, their dog is just BAD , he chews everything and destroyed the crate in about 30 minutes. As for my dog he loves it and does not chew it. If I had one recommendation , it would be to make the mesh screen weaved tighter, my dog sheds A LOT and his fur does get through the screen into the car. I had to improvise my own additional screen to act as a second barrier. It is easy to set up easy to put away, its not heavy. August 6, 2013

Answer:To ensure that your dog has enough room, we recommend that you first measure your dog at shoulder and their full length and compare to the dimensions of each crate. Most likely the Large or Extra Large will be the best fit.

Answer:We appreciate your interest in this item. A Havanese is typically a smaller dog, which when full grown will weigh between 10-16 lb and stand 8-12 inches tall. Depending on the exact size of your dog, we would recommend either the x-small or small size crate - depending on which would give your dog the ability to stand up completely.

Adelanto resident Victor Antonio Barbosa-Castillo, 20, died at the scene shortly after noon on Friday, according to a San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department release.
VICTORVILLE • A 20-year-old driver was killed Friday afternoon when his sedan was crushed in a two-vehicle collision on Village Drive near Powerline Road.
A call came in at 12:03 p.m. that two vehicles collided, San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said. Several patrol units and medical staff responded to the scene.
The driver of the Saturn sedan was driving north on Village Drive when he lost control and crossed into the southbound lane, according to a sheriff's news release. The car collided with a white Chevrolet truck.
The driver of the truck wasn't injured but the Saturn driver died at the scene, according to the release. The Saturn driver was identified late Friday night as 20-year-old Victor Antonio Barbosa-Castillo of Adelanto. No passengers were in either vehicle.
Village Drive was closed in both directions around the crash scene until about 5:30 p.m.

The Wildlife Forecast
Wednesday, September 01, 2010
Media contact: Patricia Behnke
Many of us Floridians don't like to go too long
without getting a whiff of salt air. Even those of us living inland
are always within an hour or two of one coast or another. We take
our lovely white-sand beaches, crystal clear blue water and clear
skies dotted with fluffy white clouds for granted.
At least we took them for granted until April 20.
On that day, the dire possibility of oiled wildlife and
petroleum-covered beaches loomed as the explosion from the
Deepwater Horizon oil rig reverberated through economic and
environmental lines.
Now that the gushing oil well has been capped, we
breathe a sigh of cautious celebration. But our dependence on
fossil fuels still comes at a high cost.
The carbon dioxide emissions created from burning
fossil fuels do more than change our climate. They also cause a
phenomenon known as ocean acidification. While scientists debate
the severity of climate change, most can look at the data and agree
that the increase in the atmosphere's carbon dioxide levels impacts
ocean life.
"Ocean acidification and climate change share a
common insidious influence," said Bob Glazer, a biologist with the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and a
co-leader of the FWC's climate change research and monitoring
working group. "They are both caused by the increases in carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere."
The process of ocean acidification does not mean
the ocean is turning into a boiling cauldron of acid. It refers to
changes in the water because of the additional carbon dioxide from
the environment.
The U.S. Geological Survey's website explains the
process of ocean acidification. Even though the ocean serves as a
natural reservoir for carbon dioxide, increasing carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere and the resulting uptake by the ocean results in
increased seawater acidity. This process results in a decrease in
the ocean's pH.
NOAA's State of the Science Fact Sheet on ocean
acidification states oceans have absorbed approximately 50 percent
of the carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels, which has
increased ocean acidity by about 30 percent since the start of the
Industrial Revolution. Even small changes in the acidity of
seawater can have dramatic effects on sea life, which may
"The health of the oceans is essential to the
marine life it supports as well as to the atmosphere," Glazer said.
"The proper balance within the seawater regulates carbon dioxide,
the production of oxygen, the cycling of nitrogen and other
important nutrients, and affects processes such as cloud formation.
It is all a fragile balancing act."
The increase in ocean acidification adds more
stress to ecosystems already stressed by human activities. The FWC
and other wildlife managers know that addressing this issue
requires reducing those stresses over which we have better
"For example, we can reduce pollution and runoff
from land, develop wise coastal zoning regulations, eliminate
destructive fishing practices and restore ecosystem integrity,"
Glazer said. "These approaches increase the health of ecosystems
and are just good management practices; period."
For every tragedy that occurs, such as the
Deepwater Horizon oil spill, opportunity exists for re-evaluation
of priorities.
If I shorten the length of my shower, I won't
change a thing. But if 18 million people in Florida collectively
commit to doing at least one thing in their daily lives that will
lessen their dependence on fossil fuel consumption, we might stand
a chance at reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
Some of these things will even be good for our
wallets as well as the environment. You've heard them all before,
but it doesn't hurt to have reminders, especially today. Turning
off the lights when you leave the room will lower electric bills by
not burning electricity and not pumping out more heat into the
room. When an old bulb burns out, replace it with a compact
fluorescent light bulb. These last longer and use less energy. The
cost of the bulbs is coming down, too. I bought a package of six
recently for $2 each. Start there for now. Then, next month, try a
few more changes. Soon we'll all be substantially impacting life
both above and below the sea.

Monday night's discussion of the novel, "Things Fall Apart," shows how we as a community keep things together.
The novel, taught in Douglas County's sophomore English classes, is set in 1800s colonial Africa and discusses the changes caused by Europeans from a native standpoint.
A parent of one of those sophomores challenged the book's use in the curriculum after reading a synopsis.
On Monday night, she told members of a panel convened to discuss the book's use that after reading all of it, it wasn't as bad as she originally thought. She still didn't agree with parts of it.

"Peculiar" Sick Spells
"Peculiar" Sick Spells-Will some one tell me what was the matter with my dog. Of course this is always the way-write after the dog is dead. But advice may come in handy, for I have six dogs left. Now, getting down to business: My dog was a fox terrier and ever since I got him he would suddenly be taken with peculiar sick spells. They never lasted over three or four days. He lost flesh rapidly and gained the same. Just a few days ago he took sick. I thought it was one of his old spells, so did not pay any attention to it, till finally he became so poor I got worried. I live five miles from any experienced person who knows anything about dogs, so did not know what to do. He would not eat, but would drink water. His throat seemed very sore for he swallowed hard, and his eyes burned with a feverish glitter, but he seemed in no pain. He lay all day breathing regular, but he never for an instant closing his eyes. He also had dysentery. He was cold through. When I picked him up he lay stiff in by hands. His heart beat rather slow. I thought by his eyes he had fever, I gave him a dose of aconite, but this did not stay in his stomach long enough to do any good. Towards evening he breathed harder and died very quietly.
Presumably intestinal parasites, most likely tapeworm. The peculiar sick spells you describe fit the usual symptoms in cases of tapeworm. For the benefit of dog owners generally the more pronounced usual tapeworm symptoms are given as follows: Bloated abdomen, harsh coat, staring on back and skin eruptions; falling of hair; dry hot nose; hacky cough, irregular appetite; diarrhea, varying to constipation; frequent vomiting; slimy, blood-stained stools; pale gums; bulging eyes; convulsions; fits; twitching of muscles in sleep; refusal of clean food and hunting up something nasty to devour lustily; white flakes clinging to surface of solid feces, which are segments of the worm and an unmistakable sign. It should be understood, however, that not all of the enumerated symptoms appear at any one time in any case and that any portion of them will suffice to determine the case.

LINCOLN — Last week, Lauren Cook jumped ahead of the game that most college seniors are facing in a shaky economy.
The transportation and hospitality management major planned an elegant, four-course dinner for a final project and impressed a local catering company enough that she was approached about a job after graduation.
Her father, John, was proud, eagerly relating the story to a room full of acquaintances.
"Oh my gosh! He's bragging to everyone. I'm so embarrassed!" the daughter said in a sheepish-yet-grateful way that kids accept such approval from parents.
It was a glimpse — small but unmistakable — that the time is drawing close when John Cook, the Nebraska volleyball coach, and Lauren Cook, the team's standout setter, will finally be able to remove the fence between their two relationships.
A coach applauds his players' off-court happiness. A father wants it for his daughter more than air.
"You come to college, you go through these experiences, you learn, you grow, you get humbled," John Cook said. "You compete, you get a degree, and you get prepared for the world. That's what it's about for all these kids.
"At the end of the day, that's what they're going to remember."
The Husker coach prides himself on being an educator, but there are plenty of lessons he couldn't prepare his daughter for the past three years. Many of those were public, and painful.
It's hard to explain how growth has to come in front of crowds of 4,000. How humility may mean your face splashed on the front page of a newspaper. Decisions bring consequences. Failure provides perspective.
Lauren Cook began her career deliberately far from her father. The high school All-American from Lincoln Pius X enrolled at UCLA and was named the nation's top freshman. But she wasn't happy in Los Angeles. She raised eyebrows when she left UCLA and transferred home to the program she had grown up watching her father lead.
After splitting time at setter with the team's returning starter in 2010, Lauren took sole possession of the starting job a year ago.
That was supposed to be the year she proved herself. Instead, it was one of the toughest of her life.
While the team she left behind at UCLA would eventually win the national championship, Lauren was in the headlines for an October car accident that left two people injured. Her father suspended her for two matches late in the season as the Huskers entered a funk.
Nebraska held on to win the Big Ten championship, but the season ended with a home loss to Kansas State in the second round of the NCAA tournament. It was the earliest the Huskers had exited the postseason in 18 years.
"I look at some of the greatest people in the world, and you look at how many times they've failed," Lauren Cook said. "Then, you look at yourself and you think 'OK, I'm failing, but this is how I'm going to get success.' That's how I've looked at it. With success comes failure, and with failure comes success.
"I wouldn't give up what I have here. Because what I have here is way more important to me (than being at UCLA), and I care way more about that and how happy I am here."
What she knows she has now is a relationship with her father that is stronger than ever. That fence she built to ensure that her teammates could trust the coach's daughter — she publicly refers to him as "Coach" almost without fail — could come down away from the court. John Cook had to dispense discipline during his daughter's legal troubles, but the father's love was never far.
The two work even closer this season now that John is coaching the setters for the first time in Lauren's career, which in practices and matches has sometimes led to sharp words that are not unfamiliar to coaches and players. Or fathers and daughters who sometimes disagree.
"It's funny looking back on it, because sometimes we really get into it," Lauren said. "Like, 'Dad, no, we're going with this play. Listen to me, this is going to work.' And he's like 'No, I want you to run this.'
"But, sometimes, I'll be about to call a play, and he'll say 'Lauren, run this.' And I'll say 'Oh my gosh, I was just going to call that.' It's like wavelengthed on our brains."
What becomes of the fence Saturday for No. 10 Nebraska (22-6, 14-5 Big Ten), facing Northwestern (16-14, 5-14) at 7 p.m. on Senior Night? Do the Cooks celebrate the end-of-season ceremony as coach and player or father and daughter?
Neither is saying.
"You'll have to see," Lauren said.
But no matter if it's a coach-player handshake or a father-daughter embrace, there's nothing a fence can do to block John Cook's pride.
"She has done a great job here," the father said. "She's worked hard. It's not easy having your dad be the coach. It's just not easy. But she's done a great job of managing that.
"She's a great kid."

One dead, 9 injured in I-15 crash
Collision shut down freeway between Barstow and Baker
Though California Highway Patrol officials initially reported two people had died in the collision, Sgt. Paul Ellis said as of 4:45 p.m. there was only one confirmed fatality.
One person was killed and nine more injured in a two-vehicle crash Saturday morning that shut down Interstate 15 near Afton Road, roughly half-way between Barstow and Baker.
Authorities believe alcohol was a factor in the collision, though the cause remains under investigation.
Five people were riding in a silver Ford F-150 southbound on the freeway just before 9 a.m., according to Sgt. Paul Ellis with the California Highway Patrol. Shortly after the Ford passed a black Chevrolet suburban, which was also carrying five people, Ellis said the two vehicles collided, sending both flying into the dirt median.
The suburban rolled multiple times and four of the five passengers were ejected.
One of those passengers — an older Hispanic man — died at the scene. Authorities aren't releasing his name yet pending notification of next of kin.
Four Mercy Air helicopters were called in to fly the wounded out to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center and Loma Linda University Medical Center, according to Ellis.
The five passengers in the Ford all suffered minor to moderate injuries, Ellis said, with some driven by ambulance to Barstow Community Hospital and one transported to ARMC.
Northbound lanes were shut down for nearly an hour, as helicopters landed there to transport the injured. Traffic was backed up for nine miles, Ellis said, with many northbound drivers heading to Las Vegas for the three-day weekend.
Authorities aren't saying yet what caused the collision or who is believed to be at fault, though Ellis said they suspect alcohol was involved.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on this crash is encouraged to call CHP dispatch at (760) 255-8750 or call WeTip at (800) 78-CRIME.
