FALL FUN: Navigating a dinosaur corn maze

This Sunday was the last day the Dinosaur corn maze was open at the Country Way Garden Center in Penfield.  Luckily, me and my colleagues Caroline Tucker and Patrick Kelly were able to rise to the challenge last weekend.  This was my first corn maze experience, and I was excited to put my navigation skills to the test despite dire warnings from our 11 o'clock producer (she was stuck in one at night at a young age and it took her three hours to get out.  She continues to hate them to this day.)

TELEVISION: Remembering Andy Rooney, 1919 - 2011

Known for his grumpy end-of-show commentary, Andy Rooney has been a beloved mainstay of "60 Minutes" for more than 30 years, and a fixture at CBS for more than 60 years.

Rooney died Friday night from complications from a minor surgery. His death came only weeks after announcing he would no longer appear regularly at the end of 60 minutes. In all, he wrote and delivered 1,097 essays for the news program.
