Duke has chance to grow in road game against Virginia
Posted October 18, 2013
Updated October 19, 2013
Clemson and Florida State are getting much of the national attention ahead of their Saturday evening showdown (8 p.m., ABC, 620 AM The Buzz), and that's perfectly fine. I've lived on the East Coast since 1988, and there hasn't been a bigger Atlantic Coast Conference game.
But there are other games going on. In fact, the Duke Blue Devils are one of the most intriguing teams in the league, and they have a chance to get one step closer to a bowl game – and continued relevancy as a football program – with a road win over Virginia.
Saturday's game (3:30 p.m., 620 AM The Buzz) is one Duke has lost more often than not in the past, but if David Cutcliffe and his team are going to continue on the path to staying competitive, they need to find a way to win. Logan: Clemson, FSU battle important for ACC
If you want to be significant, you have to learn to win on the road. If they can beat the Cavaliers, they're sitting at 5-2 with several winnable games left on the schedule. In other words, they'd likely be a bowl team for the second straight year.
Having Anthony Boone back at quarterback doesn't hurt. In his first game back against Navy, he was dominant, throwing for 295 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-7 win. He reminds me of David Garrard. He's well built, strong, mobile and he throws a beautiful football, and that win over Navy was a quality victory.
Tigers, Seminoles should be fun to watch
Now, about the game everyone, and I mean everyone, is counting down to.
I'm leaning toward the Tigers because of the schedule they've played so far in the season, but I'm also positive Florida State – and its defense in particular – are the best Clemson has faced all season.
Every year, ACC defensive coordinators are getting a bit better at defending Chad Morris' spread attack, and this year is no different. North Carolina State and Boston College both slowed down the Tigers, and neither of those teams has near the talent the Seminoles will bring with them to Death Valley.
The difference in the game will likely be quarterback play, and in that case, I'll take Tajh Boyd's experience. FSU freshman Jameis Winston has been scary good and looks like an NFL player today, but he's also not had to make all of these ridiculous plays under the amount of game pressure he will face Saturday night.
Expect the Tigers to win a close one.
ECU better be prepared to play against Southern Miss
There is a lot of angst in the eastern part of the state because of ECU's 36-33 three-overtime loss to Tulane, and much of the anger is being directed at kicker Warren Harvey.
Harvey missed a field goal in regulation that would have won the game, and he missed another one in the third overtime that opened the door for the Green Wave to kill it. Instead of being angry at the kicker, fans should be more upset with the rest of the Pirates for putting the game in Harvey's hands. The football program shouldn't rest on someone's leg.
ECU had a chance to go on the road and take advantage of back-to-back wins over North Carolina and Middle Tennessee, and the Pirates failed miserably. They went up and down the field between the 20s, and they couldn't get the job done. It's the most frustrating thing a coach can go through, and it's another example of not finishing.
Now, as they get ready for Southern Mississippi, the Pirates are going to have to rebound quickly. Say what you will about Southern Mississippi's 17-game losing streak, but each loss gets them closer to their next win.
When you're playing a team like that, it's like someone pulling a pin to the hand grenade and putting it on the floor. It's going to go off at some point, and ECU better make sure they aren't the team that gets blown up. You better buckle it up, strap it up and bring your best effort.
If I were Ruffin McNeill, I might go look up some of the old film of this series, because Southern Miss has owned the Pirates.

Upon first purchase, the DC43H hoover is great. It's lightweight build and sleek design makes quick clean up jobs a pleasure and can be carried out with considerable ease. Cleaning small corners and all the nooks and crannies of your home can take a matter of seconds. A thought such as "Let me quickly just get those crumbs from by the fridge before I go out" would be perfectly suited to the owner of this machine as it is readily available in it's holder whenever it is needed.
Similarly, the DC43H is a killer item for someone who likes to keep the interior of their car in good stead. Rather than lugging a large vacuum outside for a quick clean up, the Dyson is much quicker and has saved me a lot of time.
Some other positives:
- Plastic dust catcher is very easy to remove
- The design is of high quality, durable material
- I have never rub out of battery life with up to hour long cleaning sessions.
The DC43H has it's downfalls when you start to think it can do more than it is capable of. The machine does not have the robust characteristics of a full sized vacuum cleaner and cannot handle any where near as much strain of medium sized items such as food chunks or parts of wrappers. I have had similar experiences in the car when cleaning, as you cannot always see what has been sucked into the vacuum under the seats, but you can immediately see the Dyson's displeasure when a slightly larger item goes up.
When abused, the Dyson begins to show signs of slowing very quickly and mine has lost at least 60% of it's suction power after 1 year. This loss is so great that it now struggles with the most basic of tasks. With a proper look over, it could probably be restored to a 99% performance, but my point is it's lack of resilience.
I am not suggesting that the Dyson is no good, but it has some very distinct limitations that should noted before purchase. Although it can probably outperform most other vacuum cleaners of it's size on the market, it should only be purchased as an 'added extra' to your cleaning arsenal as it does not have the power or resilience of handling a big mess.
My husband convinced me we needed a small hand held cleaner but to be honest I thought it was a bit of a fad and wouldn't get that much use. How wrong I was! This little chap is ideal for our home with its steep stairs and messy toddler.
With the traditional grey and yellow features it is pretty obviously a Dyson. With no bags it is easy to see when it needs emptying and is super simple to empty into the bin. It is quite compact and is just a bit longer than a shoe box although the charger does make it bigger. We find that it sits nicely behind our speakers. I find it a comfortable weight to use and I am not body builder and it is easy to press the button on the handle to switch it on.
I find it difficult to clean all our stairs with our upright Dyson but this cleaner is ideal for reaching the places other cleaners can't and makes light work of the stairs. It is also quite handy for cleaning the entrance when I can't be bothered to carry the big Dyson down all the stairs. This is very handy when someone comes in with muddy boots as you can quickly hoover up the dirt before it is trampled all over the house.
The hand held Dyson is great when my toddler decides to throw cereal over the floor and tackles most types of mess well. Heavens knows it gets a good workout from my son! Being quite compact it gets easily around table and chair legs which is very convenient. It copes very well on all of our surfaces including tiles, carpet and laminate. (Yes our son is that messy!)
The other place it is a star cleaner is in the car. We like to get out and about at the weekend so mud, twigs and small stones all seem to find their way into the car. Add to this mess my son creates with rice cakes and biscuits and you can understand why I would buy the Dyson for the car alone. Again it is great for getting dirt off the carpets and the car seats.
The only drawback is that although it charges quick fast there is no indicator to show how much charge it has remaining. This sometimes means that it loses power in the middle of a clean up. The solution is to charge it after use but we don't always remember to do this.
I am very happy with our purchase. It takes a lot of hard work out of cleaning the stairs and car. For quick clean up of spills it is faster to grab that than to get the big Dyson out so it really does suit us. At around ÂŁ170 it is not cheap but we find it works well for us and I consider it value for money as it does a lot of work and I expect it will last for a long time.
I love the way they describe it as a 'digital motor', meaning, it either works at full power, or it doesn't! Not that I have a problem with this. After all, a handheld vac with a dwindling battery is not much use to man or beast.
This is a super little vac - a good powerful suction makes it ideal for quickly clearing up mess. The gun type trigger makes it a doddle to use. To empty, hold over bin and press red switch and the underside pops open and releases the rubbish. It comes with a long nozzle, plus a useful tool that adjusts from a brush into a normal nozzle.
Battery life is only about 5 mins, but to be honest, that's all you really need it for - any bigger job and you'd just get the main vac out.
It's certainly the best effort at a handheld vac I've seen so far.
Dyson is most certainly the household name when it comes to vacuum cleaners.
This Dyson cost me the best part of ÂŁ150 and I bought it primarily to hoover out our car after taking the dogs for a walk and to clear up after our small child.
On both aspects, this hoover does the job satisfyingly. The power of suction is quite impressive. (due to the Dyson digital motor being three times more powerful than a conventional hand held vacuum motor).. This makes it not only more powerful than other but also more energy efficient.
The DC30 is incredibly lightweight. weighing only 1.2 Kg, this makes it easy to handle and carry even when full. My parents, despite "maturing" as they would politely say, do not struggle at all using this product and are impressed at its ease of use and handling.
Its charging is fast. I tend to use for 10mins and charge overnight to fully restore, but I read that it advises it charges 3x quicker than any other of its kind.
As for ease of use, emptying the bin couldn't be easier. You simply press a button, when holding the vacuum over a bin to avoid making the mistake I did on first use, and the bottom pops open dropping the dust straight out. It is much easier to use this as a style specifically for the car, than the standard hoover.
Complimenting it, is a wide debris nozzle and brush.
The only negative is that it only has a 6 minute constant suction for every charge. I find it frustrating when it starts to drain.
Dyson the main name when it comes to vacuum cleaners. Not necessarily the main name when it comes to hand held vacuum cleaners. This Dyson DC30 cost me ÂŁ150 almost two years ago. The main reason I got it was to clean the car. This I am thankful to say is a job it does extremely well. The power of suction is quite impressive. This is because of the Dyson digital motor which they say is three times more powerful than a conventional hand held vacuum motor. This makes it not only more powerful but also more energy efficient.
The DC30 weighs only 1.2 Kg, this makes it easy to handle and carry even when full. It charges quicker than my previous model and the packaging and booklet say it recharges three times faster than other models.
Emptying the bin couldn't be easier. You simply press a button when holding the vacuum over a bin and the bottom pops open dropping the dust straight out.
You get a wide debris nozzle and brush with it. These are great for anything that's hard to lift and hard to get at. The crevice tool gets into the tightest of places. This is a must when using to clean the car.
The overall look is very Dyson. It has a large grey handle and a long nozzle. The very top is bright custard yellow, while the power switch / trigger is dark red.
This has been of great use to me since I got it, as a standard plug in vacuum is very awkward to use in a car.
The only down side is that it only has a 6 minute constant suction for every charge. I find it frustrating when it starts to drain. That's my only problem with this otherwise great hand held vacuum.
This can be bought from - diy.com for ÂŁ119.98
This item was purchased for those quick jobs and particularly for use vacuuming the car. First of all, it looks fantastic and unlike any other handheld vacuums I've seen.
It is particularly powerful, the only downside of the product is due to this, the great power means it is very noisy, I'd say more noisy than other similar vacuums.
However, the suction it creates is brilliant, there is no trouble sucking up those usually hard to get pieces. The 'nozzle' of the vacuum, being long and thin means you can easily access small and hard to reach areas.
The brush attachment is also very useful.
The charging port is wall mounted in my house, this means it is very easily accessible and does not take up storage space that could be used to other items.
It is also both easy to empty and clean.
The ergonomics of the item are also great, it feels very natural to hold and the hand positioning is ideal.
Great product, highly recommended.
Again, like most of my reviews, I'm going to start by telling you why I purchased this device. And, once again, that reason is because it looks sensational. This vaccum looks like some kind of futuristic death ray gun and there is nothing un-cool about that.
This vaccum features Dyson's well known 'Cyclone-technology' which claims to never lose suction. And in the time I have owned this, which must be around a year and a half now, I have to say that this claim is standing up to the test. This little handheld vaccum can clean my carpets far better than my panasonic upright vaccum and has none of this spitting nonsense that you get with other vaccums.
One of the best features of this product is probably the nozzle extenstions, which are designed to allow you to vaccum floors without the need to bend down. You simply push a little button on the top of the product and clip your nozzle in to place. This design only works because of the immense suction power of the dyson, which can easily handle sucking the dust all the way up this fairly long tube. What's more is the ends of the nozzles all have the perfect angle on them so that when your holding the vaccum in your hand the nozzle will go flat against the floor, pretty nifty.
My favourite feature of this product, however, has to be the trap door style release at the bottom. This is a bagless vaccum and therefore collects all of the dust etc in the contre of the body. Then to release it you simply hold your vaccum over a bin, press the little blue button and the door at the bottom of the product opens, allowing all of the waste to fall into the bin beneath. It's a very simple way of doing things and a brilliant idea. However, be certain that when you are done that you close the doors FIRMLY, otherwise you might find that upon your next use you simply move the dirt around.
The only downsides to this product have to be it's weight, which can be a little bit heavy on your arm after about 5 minutes of use, but that is not a huge problem as the next downside is the battery life, which after a full charge (which takes around 3 hours) only lasts about 5-6 minutes. But this thing is so efficient that cleaning doesnt take any more than 5 minutes.
Overall this is a very well designed product which has unparralleled suction power. It is perfect for cleaning areas such as the stairs, the car or around tables and skirting boards etc. However it is quite pricey, at around ÂŁ110, but I feel it is worth the money.
The Dyson DC30 is a fantastic all round house hold tool capable of achieving all your vacuuming needs, it is a typical Dyson in terms of fantastic engineering and operational qualities, it is fantastically made and the most powerful hand held vacuum I have ever owned or used. I combine it with a regular Dyson for doing regular housework, I use the big one on the mass of the carpet and then go around the edges with this little beast, I also use it to quickly clear patches when its not too bad, it keeps its charge well and you get fantastic usage for your money. Its also compact enough to take away to the caravan and does a fantastic job there too, you pay a little extra for Dysons but its so obvious why, I found it to be another success for them and I am very pleased with the purchase.
The Headline for this item I chose because it is only for quick jobs. I got this as I though it would be easy to use for cleaning the car outside. However after charging for about an hour at the least there is only 6 minutes working time. Not really long enough to clean a car!
With this aside the actual suction of the machine is very good for its size and does really pick up lots of dirt and dust. This is contained in the see through chamber and so easy to see what you are picking up.
To empty the chamber you just need to push a button and the container falls off then it is just dropped into the bin.
The item is quite cumbersome and it is not very flexible in trying to manuver it in small spaces, but if just cleaner the sofa or the stairs it is fine!
The item is quite light so it does not ache your arm holding it. It is quite long and so does tend to "Drop" down when holding it.
The charger can be srewed to the wall to allow easy storage and charging. Being no good at DIY mine is not up on the wall yet!
I would not reply on this for all your vacuming as it does not have enough continued power in it. You also can not use it whilst plugged into the wall. There is a little light gage on the side telling you how much power you have left so it does not die on you with out warning.
All in all it is a good little unit but dont expect too much from it. Good for small areas or stairs but that is about it!
When you hear the word Dyson most people instantly think of a vacuum cleaner with the suction power than never dies, and you'd be right in thinking that.
Dyson have done it again, this time in a hand held vacuum cleaner for those jobs that are a little too far from that plug socket, or for that quick clean up. This particular hand held vacuum cleaner which I bought a few months back, is called the Dyson DC30... What a name eh..?
Anyway, as I said, I have been the proud owner of this Dyson handheld, although when I say proud I'm going over the top a little there to be honest, and have used it so many times I feel like I can now safely give my honest opinion about it.
So, the Dyson DC30 is, as I said, a hand held vacuum cleaner with the power of a sturdy electric upright.
* 40 airwatts
* full charge gives around 6 minutes of use
* 133W motor
* 14.8 volts
* Low battery indicator
* 0.35 litre dust container
* Lifetime filtration
* Washable filter
* 205(H) x 322(W) x 116mm(D)
* 1.25 kg in weight
* Comes with a crevice tool, brush and a debris nozzle
Well that's the specs out of the way with.... Although I will add that it uses what Dyson call 'Unique Root cyclone technology' giving no loss of suction unlike the standard filter vacuum cleaners.
And with Dysons new digital motor it gives as good a suction as ever in a much lighter unit.
It may look like some kind of deadly weapon from a Star Trek movie, especially when the cleaning attachments are on. The cleaning attachments protrude from the front, strutting out from the dust container, just below the infamous Dyson cyclone system.
There is a lovely 'Dyson' yellow plastic casing covering the 'cyclone' system, curving around the top of the dust container. The 'trigger', or on/off switch, is house behind the 'yellow' case, just below the 14.8 watt motor.
In fact the entire unit reminds me of an industrial sized drill, albeit a bit of a yellow one at that.
It stands up on its own due to the flat base below the 'trigger' section, the dust container stopping it from tipping over forwards, although the weight of the motor keeps it steady.
This unit is a little heavier than many handheld models on the market but the slight weight almost compensates for the great suction power, even if the power lasts as long as a politicians promise.
The charging unit itself is neat and tidy with a good sized cable, being almost 2 metres long.
Emptying the dust container is easy, being just a matter of pressing the blue button on the top, the one which stands out from the yellow 'cyclone' cover. This then allows the dust container base to drop open, emptying the contents into the waiting bin, but do remember to hold the unit over a bin before pressing the blue button.
Then there's the easy matter of changing the cleaning attachments, simply by pressing the button on the front of the protruding attached nozzle, slipping the detachable nozzles in place.
It's not all good though, possibly due to the fact that to have something which is so powerful it will take some power to perform. In other words it may have some great suction power but even after a full charge, which can take up to 3 and a half hours, the battery is surprisingly bad, lasting maybe five minutes, making this Dyson handheld a bit of a let down for those longer cleaning jobs due to the low battery life.
Although holding the Dyson aloft for that length of time does tend to have a bit of a drain on ones wrist, in fact, after several minutes of use I found that my wrist felt like it does when I've being having a watering can in my hand for a while, (and I mean watering can and nothing else).
In all, Dyson has created a sort of miniature version of there very famous and remarkably powerful vacuum cleaner, although it can weigh your wrist down a little.
It does clean better than any other hand held vacuum but for the price, which does come in at around the ÂŁ110.00 mark, I do feel a little disgruntled at what I have for the price I paid.
Would I recommend this unit to you?
Well...yes and no... I'm sort of standing in the middle, sitting on the fence so to speak.
On the scores out of ten I would give it 10 out of 10 for the power, but I would have to knock off at least 3 for the weight, then drop another 2 for the price, so in the end I would have to go mid way and give this unit 5 out of 10.
If the price came below the ÂŁ100.00 mark, maybe of they didn't charge so much for the Dyson logo, then I would say get this vacuum for those sudden spills that need that deeper clean.
I bought this item primarily due to becoming a dog owner. It was getting rather tedious constantly lugging out my main Dyson to hoover stray dog hairs which seemed to get everywhere. This prooved useful in hoovering up those annoying dog hairs. In addition to this it has also prooven useful in clearning up the mess my 9 month old seems to make during meal times.
This handheld hoover has a powerful suction and always pick up effectively and quickly. The downside to this item is that the power does not last for long enough and I find myself charging this constantly.
It also needs emptying regulary but this does not pose a probelm due to the fact it is easy and quick to empty.
Overall I feel for the use I get form this item I did not get my moneys worth. However this is easy to use and does what it claims to.
Dyson's are known for their excellent suction, thought out design and reliability. I'm glad to say this product follows that trend.
This little device has excellent suction and it is, by far, the best handheld vacuum cleaner I have ever used. It is a slightly heavier than some of the competing products but this caused no difficulty while vacuuming. The attachments are easy to attach/remove.
I found the vacuum cleaner very easy to empty; in fact, it is far easier than any other handheld vacuum cleaner I have used. To empty, you simply hold it over a bin, press a button and the bottom opens causing the contents to fall into the bin.
Quite often, the dust/crumbs/etc will stick and not fall into the bid. In these cases you have to pull the dust out manual. Although this was a disadvantage and a little bit inconvenient, it really wasn't much of a problem and might be as a result of me filling the vacuum cleaner too full.
On that note, I should say that the vacuum cleaner does need emptied quite regularly but it only takes two minutes to empty. On the plus side, the reason it needs emptied so often is due to its excellent suction capabilities that mean lots of dust/crumbs/etc and picked up.
I found battery life to be okay but not brilliant. I get 1 or 2 uses out of the vacuum cleaner in between charges. On the other hand, I have never used a handheld vacuum cleaner which I have thought had good battery life. Keeping the product plugged in when not in use means that battery life is seldom an issue.
I have had absolutely no reliability issues with this, or any other Dyson product I have owned. The build quality is excellent.
This product is more expensive than other similar products but I feel it is good value for money. Cheaper products tend to be less reliable, more difficult to use, and be poorer at vacuuming. I would recommend paying that bit extra for this product as it really is worth the money.
Having bought four of these mini vacs in the past, only for them to end up in the back of the cupboard because they just never quite seemed to have the power they required, i was pretty sceptical about purchasing another one, but we had some vouchers that needed to be used up, and already having the dyson ball, this took my fancy! I read up on it and found that a few people rated it quite highly so i cautiously bought one... and am delighted to find that it really is wonderful! I manage to hoover the stairs with my toddler 'helping', and it effortlessly picks up the piles of biscuit crumbs etc that said child leaves a trail of wherever she goes.
Battery life is incredible, i have never yet managed to run it out - can do hall stairs and landing, and go around and get stray crumbs and fluff from all other rooms quite happily before it even starts to slow down.
Can be a little tough to empty, but some of these that i've tried have been near impossible - i would say that if you have any problems at all with joint mobilty in your hands you may want to try before you buy, as the very straightforward looking catch is very stiff and needs to be prised open with both hands sadly.
Having said all that, there are two real drawbacks to this fabulous little machine... the first is that this seems to be the only thing that will wake my daughter from her nap every time it is switched on, without fail! And secondly, i keep finding it missing because hubby has pinched it for some little tidying up job in the garage...!
A brilliant bit of kit that's incredibly useful when it comes to getting at hard to reach places that an ordinary Dyson/hoover can't handle! Between its super quick recharges, it lasts roughly 25/30 mins. Emptying it is far from hard. That being said, this is by no means a replacement for the good old hoover but its an incredibly useful cleaning tool for smaller jobs that you often encounter in and around the house and even car. If I'm being honest, when I first bought this product I had no idea that I'd find it as useful as I do now and use it as often as I do now. It has a handy little extension on the end of the arm that makes it even easier to reach places that are usually out of reach. In addition to this, the suction (as you'd expect) is top notch. Well done, Dyson.
This is a perfect hand held hover! We own one and it is fantastic. It is brilliant for getting to all those hard to reach places as well as cleaning up silly little patches of dirt! I use this hover to clean my car as it saves time and energy because I don't have to get the extension lead out or the large heavy hover and carry it around the place and get it outside! On average it last about 20 mins before it needs recharging but it does recharge incredibly quickly! It is also so easy to empty and it is not fiddly or difficult and you defiantly don't end up getting all the rubbish all over the floor again. I wouldn't say swoop your old heavy hover for this one as you should stick to a larger hover for larger house hold cleaning. This hoover is much more suitable for small jobs! Every home should own one! The hover has a small extension on the end of the arm to make it even easier to reach in those out of normal reach area, also it has two different heads a plain plastic one which sucks up pretty much everything or you can use the head with a small brush on the end.
I hope this is helpful! I definatly recomend one they are so handy just to pick up and store away on its charger.

Major League Baseball owners wrapped up their two-day meetings this morning, and the expanded use of instant replay was among the topics discussed.
But it appears little progress was made in terms of implementation. And that news comes amid a collection of botched calls in recent weeks that have only fueled the demand for a system that can ensure the correct calls are made.
MLB DISCIPLINE: Crew chief suspended two games
There had been hope that more replay would be in place by the start of this season, though obviously wasn't the case. And then there were near-promises that such a system would be ready for the 2014 season. But now even that seems to be in question.
"Time will tell," commissioner Bud Selig, according to CBSSports.com. "The more issues they raise, the more complex it gets. I'm not going to make any predictions (about next year)."
WITRADO: Growing rift between players and umpires
However, it does seem to be a matter of when—not if—expanded use of instant replay will arrive. Executive vice president of baseball operations Joe Torre has headed a committee to study the options available and suggest the best plan to implement, and he said everyone involved wants to make sure they get this right.
"We're not going to send something out there just to meet a deadline," Torre said, according to CBSSports.com. "We don't want to do a knee-jerk thing."
As of now, the only plays that can be reviewed are disputed home runs.

Why do we send animals to other zoos?Ā In many cases, we're simply mimicking nature, where offspring are "kicked out of the nest."Ā This avoids conflicts that arise between adults and maturing children as well as potential inbreeding between parents and children.
Endangered animals may be sent away to breed with unrelated individuals, so that the population remains genetically diverse.
Within the last month, a few well-known zoo critters have moved on to live at other accredited zoos.ĀTuck, a Ruppell's griffon vulture born here in 2011 and her companion, Natelie, who lived here for about a year after hatching at the Detroit Zoo, recently went to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.
Kesi, a female reticulated giraffe born here in June 2010 and the youngest member of our herd, now lives at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.ĀHer departure helped with management of our own herd:ĀKesi is now removed from any potential breeding situations with her father, Jelani, and she now lives with giraffes that are unrelated to her.
The Species Survival Plan (SSP), which coordinates breeding among endangered animals in zoos, recommended that our female Sumatran tiger, Kemala, be moved to the Toronto Zoo to breed with a male whose bloodlines make him a good match for her.
Though these three moves have come in quick succession, we're not sending all our animals away! New critters will arrive this winter and in the spring - stay tuned for details.Do your last minute holiday shopping at the zoo.
*The Gift Shop is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. It has a huge selection of plush stuffed animals and unique animal-themed gifts. Members get 10 percent off!

Has the romance genre embraced feminism with strong, muscular arms? That's the question explored in an Atlantic article about how romance novels and feminism became unlikely bedfellows. Writer Jessica Luther explains that in the 1970s, feminists were challenging the patriarchy, while romance novels played into it. Today, however, many younger authors write while taking the gains of feminism for granted.
A heroine who makes choices, an undermining of gender expectations, and women enjoying sex for pleasure are all characteristics of "feminist" romance novels. Still, today's authors, like Cecilia Grant, do admit in the article that bodice-rippers and the women's movement don't always go together seamlessly. In the article, Grant explains, "A romance novel, by definition, privileges the romantic relationship above other aspects of the characters' lives. And in a culture that already bombards women with the message that finding and keeping a man is their most important goal in life, it can be difficult to make a case for romance as a feminist-friendly medium."
Even so, in many modern romance novels, a woman is the subject of sex, rather than the object, and that should be considered a positive advancement and worthy example. Get a taste of romance novels with feminist flair.

By editorial --
A letter to the editor from Charles Moton this week addressed the fact that he had to purchase tags for his dog from Irving, Texas.
Director of Lake County Animal Care and Control, Bill Davidson, confirmed the organization contracts with PetData licensing service in Texas.
Davidson said using the service saves a tremendous amount of money, allowing them to achieve budget goals.
PetData provides animal licensing services for municipalities and animal welfare agencies throughout the United States. PetData has issued more than 4.7 million animal licenses for more than 44 cities, counties and animal agencies. Davidson said by utilizing the service all of the billing and tags are taken care of and remain current.
Davidson said licenses are still sold at Lake County Animal Care and Control at the animal shelter building, located at 4949 Helbush Drive in Lakeport next to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility, and at Clearlake Veterinary Hospital, or Middletown Animal Hospital.
Moton thought it would be wise if a business in Lake County or a temp service could benefit from the money and employ residents in need of work, as opposed to a company across the country. He made some really valid points.
Davidson is simply searching for the most cost-effective and efficient service. Someone from Lake County ought to give PetData a run for its money. Should some industrious person or group wish to start a new business in Lake County, it seems taking an example from the folks at PetData might be a wise choice. Since the early 1990s PetData has built a booming business. Processing and billing can be accomplished anywhere.

"I've been fortunate," Mertz said of his longevity in the role. "Johnny's been a character not that many people want to portray — at least as John Chapman."
This year's festival takes place 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday in Johnny Appleseed Park, behind Memorial Coliseum.
The event also will be without another highly visible and longtime actor, President Abraham Lincoln. Fritz Klein, who portrays Lincoln, has a schedule conflict this year but is expected back next year.
Mertz, 54, has portrayed Chapman at almost every Johnny Appleseed Festival since 1979. He performed for the first 10 years for free, and then took about five years off.
During planning for the 1993 festival, the festival board and local historic group Settlers Inc. invited him to put in a bid to return as a paid presenter of John Chapman. He did, and he has been paid to portray the legend each year since.
He will be replaced this year by Steve McPhail of Upland, who has been a history teacher for 35 years and has been portraying John Chapman for about 25 years, said Bruce Hayes, festival director of administration.
Hayes said the change to McPhail grew out of the festival board's efforts to put a float in the Fort Wayne Newspapers Three Rivers Festival parade in July.
The Johnny Appleseed Festival doesn't usually put a float in the parade, he said. But with the parade theme "Legends and Landmarks," Johnny Appleseed Festival board members thought their absence would be conspicuous, he added.
They scraped together a minimal amount of money to create a float, and asked Mertz to volunteer to be Johnny Appleseed on it, Hayes said, noting all festival board members and workers are volunteers.
Mertz asked to be paid for being on the float, but they had no money to pay him, Hayes said. After a few attempts to persuade Mertz to change his mind, they contacted McPhail, who appeared as John Chapman on the float for free.
"He did a great job with it," Hayes said, so they decided to hire him to portray John Chapman at this weekend's festival.
McPhail will be paid for his appearances this weekend, but he charges a lower rate than Mertz, Hayes said.
Festivalgoers will see him around the grounds and also at several "Meet John Chapman" appearances on the Festival, Folk and Pioneer stages at various times Saturday and Sunday.
Hayes said all vendors and performers have to reapply each year, and their performance this year will factor into whether they are invited back next year.
Mertz has researched John Chapman extensively and tries to portray him as accurately as possible, he said. McPhail has done the same, it says on his website, www.johnnyappleseed1774.com.
Mertz, who plans to continue portraying John Chapman at future area events, has enjoyed participating in the Johnny Appleseed Festival, which celebrates pioneer life around the time of John Chapman.
"It is just a really pleasant way to reflect on history and to immerse yourself in it," he said.
The festival also helps many good community groups, which sell food or other items as a fundraiser, he said. In addition, he enjoys the friendships he has made over the years with other regular vendors and performers.
But Mertz said this year's change may be "a good break."
He's had some back problems in the past, and walking around the festival grounds for two days in one shoe and one boot — to illustrate Chapman's use of castoff clothing — isn't always easy. He also is concerned that, if he ever can't portray Chapman, there may not be anyone else to do so.
So Mertz plans to give the festival, and McPhail, some space.
Saturday, he will be at his job as a young adult specialist at the Allen County Public Library's Shawnee branch library. Sunday, he probably will just stay home.
But the festival likely won't be far from his mind.
"I probably will hear the cannons," he said, "because I don't live that far away."

Gyorko's first homer shows signs of things to come
CHICAGO -- Jedd Gyorko hit 62 home runs in three seasons in the Minor Leagues. Entering Thursday's series finale at Wrigley Field, he's hit one in the big leagues. But that learning curve is shortening.
"I've been swinging the bat a lot better as of late," Gyorko said. "I had a feeling it might be coming soon, just from the way my at-bats have been going, so it's good to get that first one out of the way."
His first Major League homer came Wednesday night against Cubs starter Scott Feldman in the eighth inning of a 6-2 loss. He hit a two-seam fastball out to left-center field.
"The biggest learning curve happens immediately, and the quicker you understand there's a difference, you'll be better off for it," manager Bud Black said. "The biggest leap is that initial month, that initial first half, that initial first year. And I think Jedd has the baseball awareness, the aptitude to understand that this is a different game."
Gyorko hit 30 homers and drove in 100 runs last season between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A Tucson. He was productive in Spring Training this year -- hitting .257 with four homers and 12 RBIs -- forcing the Padres to promote him to the big leagues. He's hit .250 with seven doubles, a home run and nine RBIs through 26 games.
"We're not easing him in," Black said. "He's playing every day and he's playing like every inning. But he's up for it. He likes to play. He's a player."

Lance is the man, that's all
Go Pacers
Pacers have to find minutes for Lance in the playoffs. He is a matchup nightmare
Enjoyed the Lance Stephenson show tonight!
How was the halftime?
It's just a matter of time for Lance. I've always felt that.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Happiest I have been after a loss in a long time. Fun game.
When his shot is falling yes, I'm not sure I'm ready to have him play meaningful minutes on the playoffs just yet.
Regardless tonight had to be great for his confidence.
42-24 record. #3 seed in East. Fifth best record in the league. I'll take it.
Just beat Orlando in the first round.
When Lance gets a consistent jumper he is going to be pretty good.
Im not one to count my eggs before they're hatched but we should crush the Magic.
True they are BACKING into the playoffs. Charlotte is hanging with them. That tells you all you need to know.
I bet he is alot better shooter than he has shown in the previous games. He always seems to be thinking to much on the court and I don't think he had confidence in his shot earlier in the season.
I'm ready for a playoff schedule.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Orlando is still dangerous. J rich, Anderson, Nelson, Reddick. They have some players
I'm as pleased as I can be about a loss.
Now, the real test begins.
Those players aren't nearly as dangerous when opposing teams are actually guarding them as opposed to focusing on Howard.
J.J. Reddick guarding paul george trollololololol
I've already got a bad feeling. Too much over confidence.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Amped for the playoffs!!!
Should crush a redbull!!! And a 6 pack! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

Nightlife in Fort Lauderdale
McSorley's Beach Pub – McSorley's Beach Pub as you could assume is located right off the beach in Fort Lauderdale. It's often described as a beach pub impersonating an Irish Bar. At McSorley's you'll find the typical Irish liquors and beers although that's really the only Irish part of the bar. It certainly doesn't display any other Irish attributes than the standard Guinness and Irish Whiskeys.
One of the big attractions at McSorley's is the $20 all you can drink from 8-10pm Friday nights. This event attracts a huge crowd and you'll find most of the locals taking advantage of this drink special almost every week.
Another main attraction is the rooftop bar at McSorley's. Once the sun sets the party starts. Local huge DJs play a variety of top 40 hits, house, EDM, and other party music and the predominately younger crowd takes over the rooftop bar. It's a tale of two worlds because downstairs you'll find a laid-back crowd and upstairs is a rowdy, younger crowd partying, dancing, and drinking.
For locals, McSorley's is a great spot to go and have a few drinks, especially during the $20 all you can drink. Upstairs is a great atmosphere to if you're in the mood for a more energetic night, although there are plenty of clubs in Fort Lauderdale as well.
33rd Street Wine Bar – Every town needs to have a classy, relaxing wine bar to go to and in Fort Lauderdale it is the 33rd Street Wine Bar.

The Staff are incredibly knowledgeable about wines and can help you pair your wine with a food item on their menu. The tapas are incredibly popular as well as the cheese platter, depending on the type of wine you choose. Either way, you'll be able to find the perfect combination of food and wine with the help of the friendly staff if you so need it.
On some nights, local live bands come in to perform, primarily jazz music. The music is generally quieter but is soothing and sets the perfect romantic, intimate tone. If a quieter, relaxing evening is in store for you, the 33rd Street Wine Bar is a great choice.
Vibe – If you are looking for a high-energy night in a nightclub setting, then you want to go Vibe Nightclub. Vibe is arguably one of Fort Lauderdale's hottest nightclubs and as soon as you walk in you'll feel like you just walked into a lavish dreamland.
The bar has several different sections with a main dance floor, a side room, and plenty of outdoor seating. There are several fully stocked bars in the club and as soon as happy hour hits, the club fills up with 20-somethings looking to party and dance their night away.
If you plan on going with a group, do yourself a favor and purchase bottle service. While expensive, bottle service will allow you some private seating in one of the luxurious VIP areas and the service staff will cater to your needs all night long. Plus, you'll have the best seating and views in the entire club and can be closer to enjoy finest music in all of Fort Lauderdale.
Tap 42 – Beer lovers can rejoice because there's a perfect bar for you in Fort Lauderdale called Tap 42. As soon as you walk in you'll realize you are in one of Fort Lauderdale's best beer bars. A large chalkboard displays all the beers and their ABV as well as a chart explaining what type of beer each beer on draft is.
As you can imagine, there are 42 beers on tap featuring local brews, domestic beers, and imported beers as well. If you're with a group of friends you can purchase a Tap 42 flight, which features three 8-ounce draft beers to sample. In addition to its excellent selection of beers, Tap 42 has a full bar with several hand crafted cocktails, which are also popular among the locals.
The food is also some of the best traditional American cooking in all of Fort Lauderdale. The burgers and sliders are incredibly popular as well as the sweet potato fries. Outdoor patio seating is also opened when the weather is nice and the entire bar fills up incredibly fast. Tap 42 is hands down the best place for beer lovers and to enjoy traditional American Cooking.

March SEOM
Grad of ECD program knows how to guide students
Stacey Raymond is the welcome face of the Early Childhood Development lab in Union Hall, where she assists students with their assignments, guides them to resources, answers thousands of questions, updates the job board, organizes the Practicum Manual, and much, much more.
But it's what she doesn't do that may be more important.
As a graduate of the Early Childhood Development program, Raymond knows the difference between doing something for a student, and helping them learn how to do it themselves.
Raymond was given the March Staff Employee of the Month Award at last week's First Wednesday meeting, which was attended by nearly all of her coworkers.
"While (the ECD Lab) can be a very busy place, it is also a setting where a student can have the individual attention of a staff member who knows her role. The added value for the faculty is that Stacey becomes aware of gaps in learning, and can feed this back to the faculty so adjustments in the curriculum can be made," says Marilyn Pramschufer, chair of Human Services. "This is one of the most direct ways to tap into student success."
"Stacey is always one of the people that students mention as someone who helped them be successful in the program," says Christine Creagh, faculty member in ECD. "Many students report that she has provided them with the encouragement and support they need as they try to juggle school, work, and family life."
Part-time advisor gives students a Blueprint for success
Sheri Harrington only works part time in Advising Services, but you'd never know it from the sheer volume of innovative and wide-ranging projects she produces. You might believe it's the work of many dedicated advisors!
"In addition to her duties as advisor, Sheri has taken on various projects that impact students in profoundly positive ways," says Beth Stanley, advisor, who, along with advisor Janet McDermott, nominated her for Part Time Staff Employee of the Month. "She helps create our newsletter Connections, and serves on an internal committee to promote good morale and team building. She organizes and implements the BLUEprint workshops that are geared toward student success. She works to promote the workshops using fliers, web materials, emails, social media and COLS classes. And she implemented the 'table top' series for students who don't have time to attend a full workshop."
"Remember, this is a part-time employee!" remarked supervisor Dawn Blair at the First Wednesday meeting last week. "She was nominated by her peers, who see just how much she brings to the position each and every day."
Instructors invited to encourage student submissions
The editors of Et al.: An Online Journal of Excellence in Writing Across the Curriculum, a publication of the Columbus State Writing Centers, are now seeking submissions for the next issue of the journal.
Et al. accepts submissions of student-written works created in response to any writing assignment given in any class at Columbus State. Instructors can direct their students to more information, including a manuscript-submission form, here: http://www.cscc.edu/academics/departments/et-al/
For questions or more information, contact the Writing Center at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Mumps reminder
While there have been no reported cases of mumps at Columbus State, as we begin spring break we want students, faculty and staff to be aware that there appears to be a small outbreak on the campus of nearby Ohio State University. Nearly a dozen suspected cases of mumps have been reported at Ohio State in the past couple of weeks.
Because mumps is very contagious, it's important to be alert in the coming days of the symptoms and how to minimize your chance of infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the mumps virus typically starts with a few days of fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, and loss of appetite. It is followed by swelling around the face.
Because most people have now been vaccinated, (MMR is the Measles Mumps Rubella vaccination) mumps has become a rare disease in the United States. If you think that you may have symptoms, please see a doctor as soon as possible. Additional information from the CDC is here: http://www.cdc.gov/mumps/.

Pediatricians and Specialists
To help you coordinate your baby's follow-up care, you'll need a pediatrician with whom you can communicate and whom you trust. This primary doctor should ensure that specialists are updated on your baby's health. You also need a doctor who has experience in preemie care, says Dr. Judy Bernbaum, director of the Neonatal Follow-Up Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "In this day and age of managed care, a doctor's time is limited, so you need someone who can recognize needs quickly," she says.
If you live in a metropolitan area with one or more busy NICUs, your baby may be followed up with at a specialty clinic that houses some (or all) of the specialists your preemie needs. There are more than 60 of these one-stop shops for preemie care in the United States. You may have the option to have your baby seen for regular follow-up care or on a consulting basis in conjunction with your pediatrician.
Frequency of doctors' visits will depend on your baby's individual needs, but you'll find your calendar full for at least the first year.
Eye Care
Research shows that babies born nine or more weeks before they're due or with birth weights at 3 pounds or less are more likely to develop an eye disease called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Caused by an abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina, ROP can lead to mild or severe eye or vision problems. In most cases, ROP is diagnosed within six weeks of birth during routine hospital exams. According to Dr. Nieca Caltrider, a pediatric ophthalmologist in Colorado Springs, most ROP resolves by itself or stops with treatment.
If ROP was diagnosed in the hospital, plan for ongoing follow-up exams with a pediatric ophthalmologist until the condition is resolved. If ROP progresses and the blood vessels move outside of the retina, surgical treatment may be necessary. Evaluations for potential problems caused by ROP, such as nearsightedness and amblyopia (lazy eye), should also be a part of routine checkups.
Ear Care
Most hospitals screen an infant's hearing before discharge; however, if your baby wasn't tested, request a hearing evaluation immediately. Babies born early are at risk for hearing loss. Also, be on the lookout for ear infections that could cause hearing loss. Signs include fussiness, rubbing or pulling the ears, drainage from the ears, trouble sucking, poor appetite, fever, and temporary hearing loss. Preemies who were on a ventilator, who have frequent colds, and who have a family history of ear infections are at greater risk.
If a hearing loss is diagnosed, your baby will most likely see a pediatric audiologist. Your child's speech and language development should also be monitored. If a loss has not been detected, watch for signs of hearing difficulties (not responsive to sounds, delay in babbling, starts cooing or babbling and then stops), and report any concerns to your doctor.
Respiratory Health
Lung-related illnesses are the most common medical problems in preterm infants. "About 40 percent of preemies are re-hospitalized for a respiratory illness within the first year of homecoming," says Diane Eastman, a pediatric nurse practitioner at the High-Risk Infant Follow-Up Program at the Children's Hospital of Iowa. That's because preemies, particularly those born very early and very small, don't have normal, healthy lung tissue that fights off viruses, she says.
Preemies are also at risk for contracting two serious respiratory infections: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza (the flu). Your pediatrician will want to see your baby at the first signs of a cold (runny nose, irritability, or coughing). Early and aggressive treatment of colds is typical. You may need to stay away from public places during cold season or until your baby is healthier and bigger. Your doctor also may prescribe preventive treatments for RSV and the flu.
Picking a Pediatrician
Here are some important questions to ask when selecting a pediatrician for your premature baby, adapted from Your Premature Baby and Child: Helpful Answers and Advice by Amy E. Tracy and Dianne I. Maroney:
- What experience have you had caring for premature infants or multiples? Ask specifically about conditions your preemie has.
- How are the preemies and multiples you've cared for doing today? Be wary if the doctor says they are all doing fine: Most preemies have some difficulties, and you want a doctor who will be open and honest.
- What requirements do you have for referring patients to specialists or therapists? A good doctor will not be afraid to make referrals for difficult or unusual cases.
- What hospital do you use? You'll probably feel more comfortable returning to the hospital where your baby (or babies) were born or to one with a special emphasis on high-risk infants.

Andrew Garfield is stepping into Tobey Maguire's superhero shoes in The Amazing Spider-Man, released in cinemas on Tuesday, July 3. The actor opens up about coping with being in the limelight, falling for his co-star Emma Stone and overcoming his nerves about taking on the iconic role.
By Kate Whiting.
Stepping into a superhero suit is a big deal for any actor. But for 28-year-old Andrew Garfield, putting on the iconic red and blue latex of Spider-Man was the fulfilment of a boyhood ambition.
"It was an incredibly profound moment," says the actor, who grew up in leafy Surrey and is instantly recognisable with his dark brown quiff rising up from a boyishly handsome face.
"It was the first costume I ever wore as a three-year-old, so it's always meant so much to me. When I first put on the suit, I was emotionally overwhelmed because it was something I'd always fantasised about."
As is often the case though, the reality soon proved to be a little less glamorous than the dream.
"The suit's not designed for comfort," Garfield adds, laughing. "It's designed for looking awesome on the outside and feeling terrible on the inside! So that first moment was mostly just itchy and uncomfortable."
And with great superpowers comes great responsibility. For Garfield, this means proving to the millions of Marvel Comics fans, and the film's producers, that he can pull off the part.
It's exactly 10 years since Tobey Maguire first donned the Spidey outfit in Spider-Man (which broke box office records as the first ever film to take more than 100 million dollars in a single weekend) and only five years since his third and final outing in Spider-Man 3.
Garfield is philosophical about the pressure he's under. "I'm not scared," he says, absently running a hand over a lightly stubbled chin.
"I am playing the same character Tobey played but that's the way it goes. There will be comparisons and there's no way to control that. I have to let that go.
"But I respect what he did immensely, and when I was 19 I watched that first Spider-Man and it reminded me how much that character always meant to me and reignited my passion for it.
"So it's an honour to step into the suit after him, and I'm excited to then pass it on to the next person, you know?"
As well as the itchiness, Garfield also experienced a mini epiphany when he first put on the suit, which helped lift some of the burden.
"I realised it's too big a symbol for me to fill and I think it's too big a symbol for even Peter Parker to fill. I don't think he ever feels like he can live up to the symbol that he creates," he says.
"That suddenly made me feel freer to explore the character and the journey."
Like the first Maguire film, The Amazing Spider-Man is an origins tale, explaining how Peter Parker becomes the superhero, but that's where the similarities end.
The love interest in the film is not Mary Jane, but Peter's school crush Gwen Stacy, and the villain is The Lizard, rather than the Green Goblin. It's also filmed in spine-tingling 3D.
Aptly-surnamed director Marc Webb and Marvel Studios founder Avi Arad knew that if they were going to bring the character back so soon after his last incarnation, they would need to do something different.
Arad says: "We didn't know what made him Peter, so we went to the origin-origin, in which he lost his parents, encumbered by not knowing what really happened. Are they dead or alive? Were they good or bad people?
"When you meet Peter, you see the complexity of an orphan. It's a very different set-up."
It's no secret now that Garfield fell for his co-star Emma Stone (who plays Gwen Stacy) on set. The pair have been dating since last summer, often photographed together looking very much in love.
He admits it was vital that their characters had good on-screen chemistry.
"All the dynamics are based in love," he says. "I think [what's] important is that the dynamic between Peter and Gwen is based in love and based in them fulfilling something in the other."
He also found it "very easy" to love Rhys Ifans, who plays Peter's dad's former partner Dr Curtis Connors and his vengeful alter-ego, The Lizard.
"There was something so simple and immediate between me and Rhys. We're from the same island and that helped a great deal. Then we just worked really hard. But it has to be based in love otherwise you don't care, you know?"
Garfield was actually born in Los Angeles to an American dad and English mum. The family moved to Surrey when he was three and Garfield started acting classes in Guildford when he was 12, later training at the Central School for Speech and Drama.
In 2008, he won a Bafta for his breakout performance as a released convict in Boy A, and in 2010 received Golden Globe and Bafta nominations for his part in the Facebook film The Social Network. This followed his touching portrayal of Tommy, alongside Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan, in Never Let Me Go.
Until now, Garfield's been able to keep a fairly low profile, but when The Amazing Spider-Man is released he'll be thrust into the limelight.
"I don't think anything can prepare you for it. I think you have to just move with it, but it scares me, it's something I could do without," he says of media intrusion.
"That might sound strange because here I am, going, 'Look at me, look at me!' But I kind of don't mean it. I want you to look at the character, at the mask. I want you to look at Peter Parker."
To get into role, he spent hours reading Spider-Man comics, watching the movies and trying to "inundate" himself with the qualities of the character.
"But actually, the most useful thing was going back to my very personal connection to it. I feel a very, very deep connection and always have to Peter Parker," Garfield concludes.
"And I think the three-year-old inside of me was the best kind of compass I could have."

James Collins has no doubts manager Sam Allardyce is the man to take West Ham forward
West Ham defender James Collins has no doubts manager Sam Allardyce is the man to take the team forward.
Last Updated: 18/05/13 7:47am
Allardyce ended speculation last week, signing a new two-year contract after successfully keeping the east London club in the top flight.
West Ham could secure a top-10 finish if they beat relegated Reading on Sunday, and Collins believes Allardyce is the man to continue the club's progression.
"It is great the manager has signed his new contract, we as a team are flourishing and I know he only wants us to be getting better and better," he said.
"We are all enjoying it here. He along with all of us at the club can look to the future and plan what we want to do next in trying to take our club to the next level."
A ninth victory at Upton Park would cement a top-10 finish and set the Irons up to press on again next term.
And Collins added: "We have had a great season, to win and to finish 10th would be great.
"It is always good to finish well. In my experience if you finish one season well you normally start the next season well."

Exhibitors will provide hands-on activities, booths and opportunities to engage audiences who haven't ever or don't often get exposure to the great outdoors - especially the resources located right in Houston's big backyard. "By introducing Texans, especially urban adults and kids, to outdoor recreation, our woods and waters and natural places become more relevant and important to them," said Heidi Rao, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hunter education specialist in Houston. "We believe recreation leads to conservation. If they're out there enjoying the natural world, they come to care about it and finally to care for it." Take Me Outdoors Houston will take place from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sat. Oct. 8 at Discovery Green, a 12-acre park created by a public/private partnership between the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy. The park's mission is to provide a beautiful, urban green space in the heart of Houston that serves as a village green for the city. It is located across Avenida de las Americas from the George R. Brown Convention Center and the Hilton Americas Hotel, sitting between the Toyota Center and Minute Maid Park. Since the park opened in April 2008, it has welcomed more than 1 million visitors and hosted more than 800 public and private events. Take Me Outdoors Houston will consist of a variety of exhibitors clustered in topical zones. The Nature & Environmental Zone will include a Rock Climbing Wall, TPWD's State Parks Division, Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program, and Urban Outdoor Program; Armand Bayou Nature Center; Jesse Jones Park and Nature Center; Houston Sierra Club; Wetlands Center and Baytown Nature Center; Student Conservation Association; Nature Heritage Society; Harris County 4-H and Master Gardeners; and Gulf Coast Master Naturalists. The Hunting & Wildlife Conservation Zone will include TPWD's Hunter Education Program & Instructor Association, Spanish Hunter Education Program, Youth Hunter Education Challenge, TPWD Law Enforcement, and Wildlife Division; Texas State Rifle Association & air gun booth; and Laser Shot Shooting Simulator. The Fishing & Aquatic Conservation Zone will include TPWD's Coastal and Inland Fisheries Divisions, TPWD Angler Education Program, Texas Toyota Bass Classic booth & Neighborhood Fishing program; Texas Coastal Watershed Program; and Landry's Downtown Aquarium. There will also be two educational demonstrations of live hawks and other raptors in flight by master falconer John Karger of "Last Chance Forever - the Bird of Prey Conservancy." Flying demonstrations will be at 11:00am & 1:00pm.

CHICAGO -- With some of their big hitters getting the day off, it was sharp pitching that helped the Dodgers break a franchise record that stood for 89 years.
Chris Capuano scattered six hits over 6 innings and the Dodgers set a team record with their 13th consecutive road win, 3-0 over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.
The Dodgers, who haven't lost on the road since July 6 in San Francisco, eclipsed the 1924 mark set by the Brooklyn Robins.
"You go out there and you're just waiting to see who's going to drive in the runs and get the big hits," Capuano said. "It's a good feeling when you come to the park."
The Dodgers are in the middle of a stretch of 26 games in 27 days, and manager Don Mattingly gave his infield an alternative look by taking four-time All-Star first
baseman Adrian Gonzales, hot-hitting second baseman Mark Ellis and third baseman Juan Uribe out of the starting lineup.
No matter. There were others who came through.
Carl Crawford broke open a 1-0 game by driving in two runs with a single in the sixth inning. Jerry Hairston Jr. singled in the first run in the third for the NL West-leading Dodgers, who are 13-2 since the All-Star break, capping a 30-7 surge.
"It's a good feeling to be a part of history, to keep winning," Crawford said. "The team is jelling really well right now."
Capuano (4-6) came up with his second strong start in a row and third in his last four. He struck out five and walked only one before four relievers closed it out.
"Cappy really did a good job finishing pitches, the whole thing," Mattingly said. "Some nice plays in the infield, but Cap was really efficient doing his thing."
The Dodgers turned three of their four double plays behind Capuano, who has been rocked at times this year. But on Saturday he was in command.
"For me, he's attacked with his fastball more and continued to use that and not always get to his off-speed," Mattingly said. "I just think he's used his whole repertoire for the right guys."
Brandon League relieved Capuano with one out in the seventh and runners on first and second but got out of the inning by getting Cody Ransom to ground into a double play. Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his 16th save in 19 chances.
Jeff Samardzija (6-10) allowed three runs over six innings in Chicago's third consecutive loss. He gave up seven hits, five walks and hit a batter but got out of jams with nine strikeouts.
Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig had a pair of singles and scored a run. Puig made a diving catch on Starlin Castro's line drive into the gap with one out in seventh and a Chicago runner on second to preserve the shutout. He left the game after the inning with a bruised thumb.
The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the third on Hairston's RBI single.
