Interesting! I forgot Siri was in beta. I think we can all agree it has matured so much since its original release two years ago.
Same goes with apps. Some apps are blah and boring and others are awesome and offer alot of benefits depending on how many or how much of the API's that Apple has and what the developers integrate into there apps.
With time, things just become less cumbersome to use. I don't think there's anything wrong with the way technology advances.
The early stages of things are just rocky and require lots of steps to use. Over time, people just figure out how to do the same thing in fewer steps. And it's not always about laziness, but sometimes about being able to do more in a short period of time because of the shorter amount of time required to carry out a task.
And what's more, there are so many other reasons to use Siri yet unmentioned. One of the most important uses for me is the ability to set a reminder while driving home. My commute is about 90 minutes, plenty of time to forget something. And this keeps my fingers free and eyes on the road. Sounds more strategic than lazy to me.
I hope you like Siri, or rather, it likes you because I've had nothing but a horrible experience since day one.

2013's Under-the-Radar Prospects
MiLB.com staff picks out players to watch for this season
By MiLB.com Staff | April 2, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Though prospect pundits strive to get it right, it's inevitable that a prospect will come out of nowhere and put himself on the radar. Tony Cingrani is the perfect example of such a player. Nowhere to be found among Cincinnati's Top 20 prospects entering 2012, Cingrani tore through the California League and Southern League, ending up on MLB.com's Top 100 list.
To that end, the staff of MiLB.com has compiled a list of a prospect in each league who might not garner as much attention as some others in their organizations but could be on the lips of fans everywhere come September.
International League
Alex Colome, SP, Durham Bulls: Though fans and opponents alike might focus on Chris Archer, Jake Odorizzi and Mike Montgomery in the Durham rotation, Colome and his 96-97 mph fastball seem well-set to catch some people off-guard. The 24-year-old right-hander held a 3.44 ERA between two levels last season to go with 90 strikeouts in 91 2/3 innings while limited by injuries. If he can stay healthy and continue to improve his command, Colome should be able to build a resume strong enough for Major League consideration as the season progresses.
Pacific Coast League
Chase Anderson, SP, Reno Aces: Anderson entered 2012 with little fanfare and few expectations. Selected in the ninth round of the 2009 draft out of Oklahoma University, the right-hander logged just 13 1/3 innings in 2011 before being shut down with a strained flexor tendon in his throwing elbow. Healthy again last spring, Anderson started the season in Mobile, going 5-4 with a 2.86 ERA. He struck out 97 batters over 104 innings, and he was selected to participate in the prospect-laden Arizona Fall League where he was named to the Rising Stars team. Anderson doesn't throw hard, but scouts rave about his changeup as well as his ability to complement his sinking fastball with a nasty hook. He's flying under the radar with the likes of Tyler Skaggs, Archie Bradley, David Holmberg and Zeke Spruill in the system, but Arizona's No. 20 prospect is one to keep an eye on in 2013.
Eastern League
Nik Turley, SP, Trenton Thunder: There are 50 rounds in the MLB Draft and 6-foot-4 Nik Turley was selected in the last of them, No. 1,502 overall in 2008 -- the third-to-last player picked that year. Despite the late attention (teams expected him to attend BYU), the 23-year-old California native enters Opening Day ranked as the Yankees' No. 14 prospect after going 10-5 with a 3.00 ERA and 117 strikeouts in 24 games at two levels last year. A lefty who strikes out about a batter an inning, Turley will likely anchor the Trenton rotation after earning Florida State League All-Star honors last summer with Class A Advanced Tampa.
Southern League
Stefen Romero, 2B, Jackson Generals: A 12th-round pick out of Oregon State in 2010, Romero has improved with each step up the Minor League ladder. After hitting .357/.391/.581 at High Desert early last season, the 24-year-old trumped that effort by batting .347/.391/.620 over 56 games in his first taste of Double-A action at Jackson. Romero made a statement early this spring, going 4-for-5 with two homers, a double and seven RBIs against the Royals on March 7 but missed the rest of the Cactus League schedule with a strained left oblique. When he returns, the Southern League will be on notice. (Recent Q&A with Romero.)
Texas League
Domingo Santana, OF, Corpus Christi Hooks: If it wasn't for the Astros' infusion of prospects via trades, there would be more talk of toolsy outfielder Domingo Santana. Now Houston's 13th-ranked Minor Leaguer by MLB.com's standard, Santana has shown the ability to hit for average (.302) and power (23 home runs) while throwing out runners with regularity from his right-field spot. He did strike out 148 times in 119 Cal League games in 2012, but he won't turn 21 until this season's penultimate month, and he'll be playing in Double-A. The Texas League gives him the perfect test: With just eight teams on the circuit, he'll be forced to make even more adjustments at the plate facing familiar pitchers. And if he can increase his contact rate, he could emerge as one of the Astros' -- and the game's -- best young players. Other relative unknowns on the circuit include No. 19 Rockies prospect Cristhian Adames, a 21-year-old shortstop whose offensive game could soon keep pace with his plus defense and Josh Bowman, an unranked A's pitching prospect who some think can mimic Dan Straily's out-of-nowhere rise through the ranks from a year ago.
California League
Clayton Blackburn, SP, San Jose Giants: After flat-out dominating the Class A South Atlantic League in 2012, the Giants moved Blackburn up to the California League for the playoffs. There he fanned nine over seven one-run innings in the playoff opener for San Jose. Considered the club's No. 11 prospect, Blackburn has posted a 2.24 ERA since being selected in the 16th round of the 2011 Draft. The 20-year-old right-hander led the organization with a 1.02 WHIP and was second with 143 strikeouts for Augusta while finishing second in the league with a 2.54 ERA.
Carolina League
Keury De La Cruz, OF, Salem Red Sox: A 200-point swing in OPS is one way for a prospect with question marks to become an ascendant slugger in a hurry. Coming off a .682 OPS in 71 games with Class A Short-Season Lowell in the New York-Penn League in 2011, Keury de la Cruz found himself facing a lot of, well, questions. And he responded to the tune of a .308/.352/.536 line with 19 homers in 116 games with Class A Greenville. Combined with a six-game stint for Class A Advanced Salem, he hit .307/.350/.533 overall with 20 homers and 87 RBIs, exactly a 201-point turnaround from the year before, and earned himself the slugger label.
Florida State League
Steven Moya, OF, Lakeland Flying Tigers: Standing in at 6-foot-7, Moya and his left-handed swing have the potential to bring some formidable pop to the Flying Tigers lineup. The No. 11 prospect in the Tigers system was off to an impressive start last year as a 19-year-old in the Midwest League, where he had an .801 OPS through 59 games before Tommy John surgery ended his season. His plate approach could use sharpening, and it's often a challenge for players of Moya's height to master a naturally larger strike zone, but if he does, his size and athleticism could lead him to a successful career as a slugging right fielder.
Midwest League
Dan Vogelbach, 1B, Kane County Cougars: If one checked the final stat lines for Class A Short-Season Boise last year, the numbers from one recent Cubs Draft pick would have immediately jumped off the screen. Sporting a .322/.410/.608 slash line with 10 homers and 31 RBIs in 37 games, this prospect tore through the Northwest League after doing the same to the Rookie-level Arizona League. It was not, however, the line of the obvious choice and 2012 sixth overall selection Albert Almora, but rather Chicago's 2011 second-rounder Dan Vogelbach. With a .322/.410/.641 overall line in 61 games last year, the first baseman may not have Almora's pedigree or positional value, but he showed his bat will make a lot of noise this year in the Midwest League.
South Atlantic League
C.J. Edwards, OF, Hickory Crawdads: As a 48th-round pick in the 2011 Draft, not much has been expected of Edwards, but he was able to open some eyes in his 2011 pro debut. The lanky right-hander -- he stands 6-foot-2 while weighing just 155 pounds -- did not allow a run over 20 innings in the Arizona League and put up a 2.11 ERA in 10 Northwest League starts a year ago. Overall, he held batters to a .141 batting average and struck out 85 in 67 innings between the two levels. That put him at the No. 20 spot on MLB.com's rankings of Rangers prospects, but if he comes close to reproducing those numbers for the Crawdads, don't be surprised to see him rocket up even higher.

Hugh Grant
Turned 53, September 9. Grant has built a reputation for playing the charming and irresistible male lead in many romantic comedies. He turned those expectations on their head when he played several massively evil characters in Cloud Atlas, including a slave trader and a savage futuristic cannibal. However, his highest-rated film on the review site Rotten Tomatoes is his classic Jane Austen adaptation Sense and Sensibility, which has a 98 percent rating on the site.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- LPGA and tournament officials say they have a new name and sponsor for the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic.
The tournament in Ohio now will be known as the Marathon Classic presented by Owens Corning & O-I.
Actor and Toledo native Jamie Farr is stepping away from the tournament after 28 years.
He says the addition of Ohio-based Marathon Petroleum Corp. will take the tournament to new heights.
Organizers say all four rounds of this year's event in mid-July will be on The Golf Channel. The tournament in recent years has had only limited television coverage.

Tick-borne Disease Prevention
Prevention of tick-borne illness hinges on preventing ticks from attaching and obtaining a blood meal from individuals. This can be accomplished by avoiding tick habitat, using personal protection methods, and changing the environment to reduce the presence of ticks.
Adult ticks prefer high grass, low brush, or shrubs, where they can come in contact with a mammal (human, deer, dog, and etc.) for their next blood meal. Tick larval and nymph stages prefer shady, moist ground litter, stone walls, woodpiles, and etc. where they can contact a small rodent, mammal, or a sitting human for their next blood meal. Adult ticks perch on leaves of low brush or on grass stems awaiting the passing of a potential host. They recognize approaching humans or other mammals by movement, body heat, and carbon dioxide from exhaled breath. As the potential host moves by the tick, it crawls onto the host and proceeds to look for a place for attachment and feeding.
If tick-infested areas cannot be avoided because of work or recreational activities, there are combinations of prevention steps that can be taken to reduce the possibility that ticks will reach the skin and attach for sufficient time to transmit the disease. Recommendations for personal protection are:
1. Wear shoes that cover the entire foot (no sandals), socks, and long pants. Long- sleeved shirts are also desirable.
2. Use insect repellents with DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-touamide, or N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) on clothing and skin.
DEET is available in various concentrations from a number of manufacturers. Concentrations of DEET between 10 percent and 30 percent are adequate for most occasions. A concentration of 10 percent protects for up to 2 hours, while a 30 percent concentration will protect for up to 5 hours. Concentrations above 50 percent do not increase length of protection.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, DEET solutions should not be used on children less than 2 months of age. Concentrations above 30% should not be used on infants and children.
When using DEET always follow the manufacturers' recommendations appearing on the product label. Those recommendations include the following:
For additional guidance on use of the use of insect repellents, click here.
3. Apply permethrin to clothing or mosquito nets. Unlike DEET, permethrin is an insecticide that kills insects that come into contact with it. Permethrin kills or stuns insects that touch treated fabric. Permethrin is available under several brand names.
When using permethrin follow the manufacturers' label directions closely when treating fabric. It will adhere to fabric through several washings, and remains effective without harming or staining the fabric.
Permethrin is biodegradable and does not accumulate in the environment, but it is toxic to fish and other aquatic life and must not be disposed of in a manner that would contaminate waterways.
Recommendations for use:
4. Conduct a thorough body check for ticks at the end of the day. A warm soapy shower will help remove ticks, but a visual search of the body is essential to ensure all ticks have been removed. The larval and nymph ticks are much smaller than adult ticks and can easily be missed, especially in hair.
If a tick is attached to the skin, it can be removed with either tweezers or forceps by grasping the tick by the head, right at skin level. Remove the tick by pulling firmly and steadily upward. Ticks should not be removed with bare fingers, but if tweezers or forceps are not available, tissue paper or a paper towel can be used to prevent the passing of any possible infection.
Populations of deer ticks, as well as other ticks, can be reduced around the home with minor landscaping changes that reduce shade and moisture. Landscaping efforts that have shown to be effective are:
In severe cases of tick infestation in residential areas, a single application of insecticide on the lawn or in other tick infected areas can be very effective in reducing the tick population. Prior to taking this step, individuals should discuss the appropriate insecticide and the application rate with a licensed pesticide applicator.

Arctic Defender Shield Winter Covers for Above Ground Pools
Superior Strength, And "Heat Shield" Algae Fighting Technology!
SAVE up to $15 on Cover Clips! When purchased with an above ground pool cover.
Back to
Keep debris out of your pool this winter with an Arctic Defender Shield above ground pool cover and spring opening will be a breeze. In addition, the Arctic Defender Shield winter cover can prevent damage to your pool walls and surfaces by protecting your pool from falling debris in even the nastiest winter weather.
The Arctic Defender Shield has all the features of our standard winter pool covers but it is made of an even more durable fabric! This winter pool cover features a cutting edge "rip stop" fabric weave technique that stops tears and rips before they start. This winter cover also contains an additional layer of silver fabric that works in combination with a black bottom layer to prevent light penetration (algae needs light to grow!) and further reduce algae growth. This unique silver layer also deflects heat and keeps the pool water cooler which also helps prevent algae growth.
The Arctic Defender Shield is made of extra wide material to reduce the number of seams and all seams are heat sealed rather than sewn for a more durable and water-tight seal. The tightly woven inner scrim is topped by a premium, extra-thick polyethylene weather resistant coating. This makes our Arctic Defender Shield winter pool cover extremely durable and highly resistant to U.V., acids, alkalis, salt, mildew, chlorine, and other pool chemicals.
- Offers an extra large 4 foot overlap for a better fit.
- All pool covers come complete with heavy-duty vinyl coated cable and winch.
- Please order by pool size! (All covers accommodate an 18-inch water drop.)
- 16-Year Warranty (4 Full Years)
- Available with or without cover clips.

The activities and priorities of the National Park Service (NPS) Social Science Branch are guided by Director's Order #78: Social Science (PDF - 104KB). Current activities of the Social Science Branch include the following. For more information, please use our contact form and select Social Science as the message category.
Technical Assistance
The Social Science Branch provides technical assistance to parks, regions, the Department of the Interior, and NPS partners. Assistance focuses on helping parks find appropriate technical support for their social science needs.
The Social Science Branch is responsible for working with scientists and managers to help them obtain OMB approval for NPS-sponsored surveys (Paperwork Reduction Act requirements). The NPS (with DOI and OMB) developed a program to streamline the survey approval process. The program—"Expedited Approval for NPS-Sponsored Public Surveys"—was launched in 1998 and was renewed and expanded in 2001. This program significantly reduces the approval period for most NPS-sponsored public surveys, saving time and money.
Research to Meet National Needs
The NPS social science needs range in scale from individual parks and partnership programs to the system-wide and interagency level. The Social Science Branch supports and sponsors key research relevant to system-wide national needs.
The Money Generation Model (MGM2)
MGM2 is a set of Microsoft Excel workbooks for estimating the economic impacts of NPS visitor spending on a local region. MGM2 is an update of the NPS Money Generation Model as originally developed by Ken Hornback. Daniel Stynes and Dennis Propst at Michigan State University have developed the new version, called MGM2. Like the original Money Generation Model, MGM2 estimates the impacts that park visitors have on the local economy in terms of their contribution to sales, income, and jobs in the area. The Money Generation Model produces quantifiable measures of park economic benefits that can be used for planning, concessions management, budget justifications, policy analysis, and marketing. Refinements to the MGM make MGM2 more readily applicable to evaluating management, policy, and marketing alternatives, both inside and outside the park. Economic impact information has proven quite helpful in fostering partnerships within the community and garnering support for park policies and interests. The economic analysis also helps to identify the roles the park, local community, and tourism businesses play in attracting and serving visitors.
The Money Generation Model is applied to selected Visitor Services Project (VSP) studies each year. Special reports are prepared for those parks choosing to incorporate the Economic Impact Analysis Module in the VSP study. Visit the Products page for copies of those reports.
Social Science Research Review Series
Each review paper in the Social Science Research Review series focuses on a specific issue critical to the management of the National Park System. The purpose of these reviews is to provide a basis for scientific understanding of the issue. Experts are commissioned to write the review papers, and each paper undergoes peer-review. Several research reviews have been published and widely distributed throughout the NPS. Visit the Products page for copies of these reports.
Social Science Studies Collection
As part of the effort to conduct and promote state-of-the-art social science related to the mission of the National Park Service and deliver usable knowledge to NPS managers and the public, the Social Science Branch has established the Social Science Studies Collection. This collection reflects a growing demand by park managers for information on the relationship between people and parks. Currently, it includes more than 260 records including study reports, images, and other documents produced by or for the NPS from disciplines such as recreation resource management, economics, geography, psychology, political science, and sociology. The electronic version of the collection is now available on the NPS Focus Digital Library & Research Station website. A list of documents (PDF - 79KB) is available. A full catalog (PDF - 531KB) including abstracts is also available.
Visitor Services Project
The Visitor Services Project (VSP) provides NPS managers with scientific information about visitors that can be used to improve services and protect resources. The VSP has conducted over 150 in-depth visitor studies in units of the National Park System, offered technical assistance to parks, developed new evaluation tools, and provided training throughout the NPS. A brochure (PDF - 184KB) describing the VSP is available for download. For more information, visit the VSP website.
Visitor Survey Card
In Fiscal Year 1998, the Social Science Branch implemented a mail-back customer satisfaction card similar to surveys successfully used by major U.S. corporations. The survey is used annually by all NPS units to systematically measure and report performance related to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) goals IIa1 (visitor satisfaction) and IIb1 (visitor understanding and appreciation). Results for 13 indicators (including park facilities, visitor services, and recreational opportunities) are reported at the park, cluster, regional, and national levels. For more information, visit the VSC website. The FY07 Systemwide Reports (PDF - 225KB) are also available.
Visitor Use Statistics
Visitor Use Statistics staff coordinate visitor counting protocols Systemwide and provide visitation statistics and forecasts for areas administered by the NPS. Download historic and current visitor use statistics for 374 of the more than 400 units of the National Park System from the Visitor Use Statistics website.

Beyonce offers congrats to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio | Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - After Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their baby, Beyonce was among the many to offer her congratulations.
The reality star started having contractions Friday night and went into labor in the early hours of Saturday. The delivery of Kimye's daughter was a little ahead of schedule, as she was reportedly due in July.
On Monday, Beyonce wrote a post on her Tumblr offering up congratulations to Kardashian and West. "Congratulations Kim & Kanye," Beyonce wrote with a photo of the couple. "Enjoy this beautiful moment together." Like Kardashian, Beyonce is a new mother. She gave birth to her daughter Blue Ivy in January 2012.
Kardashian recently announced the sex of her baby on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. "I'm so excited we're having a girl," she said. "Who doesn't want a girl? I think they are the best. I know that'sreally what Kanye has always wanted."

Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College Tornados were edged by visiting Alderson-Broaddus College, 8-6, Tuesday afternoon in diamond action at Gil Coan Field. The Tornados had the bases loaded with two out in the ninth but were unable to score.
Renato Lopez (San Leandro, Calif.) threw a staggering 129 pitches in eight innings of work and picked up the win for the Battlers (8-2). Lopez allowed six runs (two earned) and struck out eight while walking just one. Pedro Castellanos (Stockton, Calif.) pitched a roller coaster ninth but did not allow a run for the save. Spencer Linn (Fletcher, N.C.) allowed eight runs (five earned) in four and two-third innings and took the loss to fall to 2-2. The senior struck out five batters.
The Tornados (6-12) struck first and hard, putting up a four-spot in the 2nd inning. Vance Crook (West Union, S.C.) brought home the first run with an RBI single up the middle, and two batters later Brice Warner (Clover, S.C.) knocked home a pair with a single that hugged the right field line to make it 3-0. Warner scored the final run of the inning, on a double from Matthew Pruitt (Hendersonville, N.C.).
Alderson-Broaddus narrowed the gap in the 4th inning, scoring first on an RBI single from Damon Arnold (Wellsville, N.Y.) to get their first marker on the board. Two batters later, Ronnie Whitt (Hamilton, Ohio) scored on a Tornado error to make the margin 4-2.
The Battlers did most of their damage in the 5th frame. With the bases loaded and no one out, Zach Marshall (Lima, Ohio) cleared the bases with a double to the left-center gap, giving the road side their first lead of the day. Whitt followed with an RBI single of his own, and an RBI hit from Gary Valadez (Torrance, Calif.) and a sac fly from Mark Ruiz (Manteca, Calif.) made it 8-4 Alderson-Broaddus midway through the game.
The final Tornado runs came in the 8th inning. William Scholer (Norwalk, Iowa) led off the frame with a home run, his 2nd of the season. Two batters later, M.A. Dozier (Cumming, Ga.) singled; he eventually scored on a wild pitch to make the score 8-6.
Brevard loaded the bases in the final inning thanks to two Castellanos free passes and a single from Kellen Moman (Greenville, S.C.). But the Battler closer retired Dozier to end the game.
The bullpen was perhaps the highlight of the day for Brevard. Jacob White (Elkin, N.C.), Payne Parker (Florence, S.C.) and Luke Smithson combined to pitch four and one-third innings of scorless ball in relief of Linn.
The Tornados resume SAC play Friday night with a match-up at Lincoln Memorial, a 7 p.m. start. The Battlers stay in the Tar Heel State to face Mars Hill Wednesday at 3 p.m.

But if you can get past the predilection for alliteration and the teehee!
I congratulated him on a "well-deserved win" and he commended me my alliteration, smiling profusely all the while.
The reader will note the alliteration of the l's in the third and fourth lines, and the h's in the next two.
The "Cape to Cairo" railroad is another case of alliteration.
The alliteration is without complexity,--a dreary procession of sibilants.
Nikita, surnamed Necator, with a sinister aptness of alliteration!
The origins of alliteration in Germanic verse are lost in the general mass of Germanic origins.
alliteration is nearly the only effect of that kind which the ancients had in common with us.
I did so purely for the sake of alliteration, Ana; and I shall make no further allusion to them.
English poetry has used chiefly rhyme, stress, and alliteration.
1650s, "a begining with the same letter," from Modern Latin alliterationem (nominative alliteratio), noun of action from past participle stem of alliterare "to begin with the same letter," from Latin ad- "to" (see ad-) + littera (also litera) "letter, script" (see letter). Formed on model of obliteration, etc. Related: Alliterational.
The repetition of the beginning sounds of words, as in "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers," "long-lived," "short shrift," and "the fickle finger of fate."

Cameron Diaz reportedly dating one of Paris Hilton's exes
With the Hollywood dating pool being so small guess it's only a matter of time before you find yourself dating an ex of Paris Hilton.
The socialite has worked her way through Tinsel Town's eligible bachelors like a dose of salts so it's no surprise Cameron Diaz is now dating a former Hilty paramour.
Reports have been swirling for a while now that the actress is hooking up with Benji Madden but the pair made it official Tuesday as they stepped out hand in hand in New York City.
Madden has been spending a lot of time down under recently as he's working as a mentor on the Voice Kids Australia—but seems he's still been finding time for a little loving stateside.
Rumor has it Benji's sister-in-law Nicole Richie played matchmaker between him and Diaz—and according to X-17, things are going swimmingly between the two.
"Cameron is pretty into him… she likes the bad boys! But the thing is, Benji's actually a really nice guy," a source says.
"They've been having fun together, making sure it doesn't get too serious too fast."
Yeah, that's probably wise.
Diaz, who's previously dated Justin Timberlake, A-Rod and Jared Leto, likes to play the field—or so she claims.
"There are many soulmates. My soul has a lot of different facets and it needs a lot of different men," she confessed recently.
Madden dated Hilton for nine months back in 2008.

I see children ranging from four years old through teenage. I try to make therapy an enjoyable learning experience as much as possible. My goal also is to include parent sessions as you are the long term caregivers and good communication with you is key. We may use play therapy, art therapy, sandtray therapy, family therapy or another modality to help address issues such as anger management, ADHD, behavior problems, social, academic or family issues. In addition, I do cognitive and ADHD assessments as well as diagnostic emotional testing when needed. I also provide parent guidance so you can be less reactive when dealing with your children and learn to set compassionate limits.

I work with children from elementary age and up by building on their strengths, consulting with parents to help integrate the best structure into their lives, helping them expand their ways of expression through play, using expressive therapies and advocating for them when needed in the schools. I provide them with opportunities to practice the skills I build with them in our therapy sessions. I use cognitive behavioral strategies, expressive therapies and body work to engage with them and build opportunities to learn new skills.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn't be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child?

How to fold a plastic bag30 Oct
If you are anything like me, you will probably have loads of plastic bags lying around the house. These invariably make their way into a larger 'mother' bag with the aim of keeping the house tidy. However, they still seem to take up more space than they should and finding the right bag requires emptying the entire contents of said mother bag onto the floor, defeating its primary purpose. Anyway, if this is you, keep reading for today is your lucky day!
My flatmate Rie has been practice the art of plastic bag folding for a while now. Previously I have just accepted this without much thought and continued with my shameful mother bag ways. Today though, I finally learnt the secrets of plastic bag folding for myself and now I will share them with you in just six easy to follow steps.
You may notice that in the following photos, there is just one hand shown carrying out seemingly complicated and dexterous tasks. This was due to the necessity of holding my camera. If you are not taking photos of your own plastic bag folding attempts (perhaps for a similar step-by-step guide), I suggest you employ all available hands.
Step 1
Flatten the plastic bag (ideally on a flat and sturdy surface) by tucking in both sides.
Step 2
Fold the bag in half lengthways and then fold it in half again. Squeeze any air out of the bag as you do this.
Step 3
Fold the bottom end of the plastic bag at a 45 degree angle so that it make a triangle shape as shown below.
Step 4
Fold once again from the bottom of the bag, this time along the folded edge that you just created in Step 3.
Step 5
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you reach the handles of the plastic bag. The number of times you will need to fold the plastic bag will depend on both its height and width.
Step 6
Finally, tuck the handles into the slit that has now formed at one edge of your folded triangle
You should now be left with a neat triangle shaped package, saving you space, reducing the time spent searching for suitable plastic bags to line the bin with and impressing guests (depending, of course, how easily impressed your guests are).
Happy plastic bag folding !
Googlewhack18 Oct
I have searched using Google thousands of times now. Yesterday however, I achieved something I had never achieved before… a Google search yielding just 1 result (see the image below)! This is often termed a Googlewhack. Although a 'proper' Google whack consists of two real words (as opposed to my poorly spelt made up ones) and those two words feature in the text of the result in their entirety (as mine didn't), I still think it was quite an achievement. Feel free to post any Googlewhacks you find in the comments.

By Julie Muhlstein Herald Columnist
Nick Jzyk, 17, watered a garden. Andrew Simmons, 5, wore his dad's tie for spirit day at school. In the beginners' room, longtime teacher Ann Plunkett helped 2-year-olds learn. And in Andrew Stewart's middle and high school classroom, his students worked on English assignments.
It was a typical Thursday at Montessori Schools of Snohomish County.
Infants, high-schoolers and children all ages in between share the small campus near Everett Mall. They are the latest generation at a school that started more than 50 years ago in the basement of a Lynnwood home.
Today, the founders' daughter is co-director of the school launched in 1962. "It was only a preschool. I was about 3," said Kathy Gunnell, 55, whose parents, Wayne and Barbara Templin, began what would become Montessori Schools of Snohomish County. "Mom did the preschool, and Dad went to London for elementary Montessori training," she said.
She and her husband, Kory Gunnell, who live in Lake Stevens, now run the school, where one of their six children is still a student. Their daughter, Tawnya Valentine, 29, is a teacher at the school, and the Gunnells have several grandchildren there.
The name Montessori Schools of Snohomish County reflects the past, when there were several smaller sites, from north Seattle to Marysville. By the mid-1980s, the schools had become a nonprofit corporation and were consolidated at the present campus. Kathy Gunnell said many of the school's parents work at the Boeing Co. in Everett.
Alumni, current parents and others with connections to Montessori Schools of Snohomish County or the former Little Way Montessori are invited to celebrate Saturday at a 50th anniversary reunion dinner and auction. Proceeds from the event at Lynnwood's Embassy Suites will benefit the school, which now has about 150 students.
The Montessori approach to education takes its name from Dr. Maria Montessori. The Italian doctor, who died in 1952, opened the first Montessori school — the Casa dei Bambini or "Children's House" — in 1907 in Rome. The philosophy emphasizes hands-on learning, freedom within limits, and a sense of order. There are a number of other schools in the region that use the Montessori method of teaching.
On Thursday, it wasn't hard to see it in practice. The youngest preschoolers, on the floor with educational toys, were helped to keep playthings contained on individual mats. "Their space lets them see 'It's my work,'" Kathy Gunnell said.
Kory Gunnell's job is normally administrative, but he was substitute teaching Thursday in the classroom for 5- to 10-year-olds. One of approximately 20 teachers was out of the day.
Other staff in the room helped oversee small groups. Some children worked on math facts by counting and sorting objects. Others were reading or talking with teachers. A little boy in an art area finished painting petals on a wooden flower cut-out — a Mother's Day gift.
More than a school, the campus offers infant day care beginning at 6 weeks old. Before- and after-school extended activity is available. And one marked difference from other schools, the program operates all summer. There are spring and winter vacations, but families take vacations year-round and children catch up at their own pace.
Tuition is roughly $800 to $925 per month, depending on age. Infant care is more expensive.
For Teresa Padilla, of Bothell, the cost is well worth it. Her 5-year-old son, Tony, attends the Montessori school. Her two older sons, now 19 and 23, went there before going to public schools.
"I fell in love with the teachers," said Padilla, whose children learned sign language by age 2. "It's all kind of self-motivating. Kids work at their own pace, but the teachers push them along. They become very independent. Teachers have a level of respect for their students — little people all the way up to high schoolers. There's no harshness, no bullying there," she said.
"I'm just learning more," said Robert Degrat, 14, who switched to the Montessori school from Everett's Eisenhower Middle School. He said he has more time for assignments and a better connection with teachers at his new school.
Kathy Gunnell said Montessori appeals to parents of both fast learners and children who need more time. "We don't lose kids trying to teach to the norm. It's individualized," she said.
There were just eight students when her parents started their basement preschool. Wayne and Barbara Templin are deceased, but their legacy continues.
"I've been at this school my whole life," said 14-year-old Zak Templin, who has a sister and twin younger brothers at the school.
"He's my nephew," Kathy Gunnell said.

Reunion dinner
Montessori Schools of Snohomish County will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a "50 Golden Years" reunion dinner and auction at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Embassy Suites, 20610 44th Ave. W., Lynnwood. Registration starts at 5 p.m. Cost is $50 per person or $100 per couple. To RSVP, call 425-355-1311. The school is at 1804 Puget Drive, Everett. www.mymssc.com.

Wingate, N.C. - Brevard senior Alycia Andrade captured the women's title at the Wingate Pre-Conference Invitational Thursday afternoon on the campus of Wingate University. Andrade (Somerset, Mass.) finished the 5K course in a time of 20:07, 14 seconds ahead of Francis Marion's Kelly May (Bowling Green, Ohio). The individual victory is the first of the season for Andrade.
Wingate's Gold squad won the team portion of the event, followed in order by Catawba, Wingate's Blue team, Francis Marion, North Greenville and Johnson C. Smith.
The Tornado women's squad did not officially place after failing to meet the minimum of five runners, but the two Tornados that accompanied Andrade to Wingate turned in strong performances of their own. Brittany Radenbaugh (Columbia, S.C.) finished 14th with a time of 23:00, and Meghan Grimes (Ft. Pierce, Fla.) crossed the finish line 29th with a time of 25:12.
The Tornado men's squad finished fifth overall. The host school's White squad took the team title, with Francis Marion finishing second, Wingate Gold finishing third, and North Greenville fourth.
Brevard was led by Damon Martin (Indian Trail, N.C.), who finished 20th with a 5K time of 18:40, 2:50 behind individual winner Jayce Watson (Millersport, Ohio) of Wingate. Jonathon Lavelle (Tunnel Hill, Ga.) checked in 23rd with a time of 18:57, followed by 29th-place Tiffen Tapia (Gainesville, Fla.), with a time of 19:39. Zach Hazen (Inman, S.C.) finished 30th after running the course in 19:46, and Michael de Kozlowski (Columbia, S.C.) placed 32nd in a time of 20:12. Ryan Forsyth (Chesapeake, Va.) rounded out the Tornado side with a 35th-place finish, crossing the line six seconds shy of 21 minutes even.
The Tornados continue their season October 25th at the SAC Championships.

Southern Utah's men's basketball team begins its longest home stretch of the season Thursday night when the Thunderbirds host Portland State at 7:05 p.m. in the Centrum. SUU will play four straight at home, including a Saturday match-up with Eastern Washington, before returning to the road on Feb. 7 at Idaho State.
The Thunderbirds (5-12/3-5 Big Sky) will be looking to snap a five-game skid Thursday night. After opening Big Sky play with a 3-0 mark the team has come upon hard times, losing five straight, none by more than eight points. Last week the Thunderbirds suffered a foul-plagued 73-67 loss at Montana on Thursday night and on Monday it was a 76-68 setback at Montana State.

Heuir Named BSC Player of the Week: SUU's Damon Heuir was named Big Sky Co-Player of the Week, along with Weber State's Scott Bamforth, for his performance the week of Jan. 5. Heuir scored a Big Sky season-high 30 points to lead SUU to its first road win of the season, a 90-77 victory at Northern Arizona. Heuir started a 22-2 first-half run with a 3-pointer and he buried two more threes during the stretch that lifted SUU from a 9-7 deficit to a 29-11 lead. He went on to score 20 of his points in the second half, including a 3-pointer for the first basket of the period to lift SUU to a 45-30 lead and 5-of-6 free throws in the final 1:04 to keep the Lumberjacks at bay. He hit 6-of-11 shots, 4-of-6 3-pointers and 14-of-16 free throws in the game. The 14 made free throws are also the most in the Big Sky this season. In addition to his scoring, he pulled down four rebounds, dished out two assists, picked off two steals and blocked a shot.
The Coaches:
Head Coach Nick Robinson (Stanford, 2005) is 5-12 in his first season at SUU and his first season as a head coach. Coach Robinson came to Southern Utah from LSU, where he spent three seasons on the staff. Prior to his time at LSU Robinson spent a season at William Jewell College and two seasons on the staff at his alma mater, Stanford. During his time as an assistant coach, Robinson helped guide his teams to a combined record of 87-47 and four post-season appearances, including two NCAA, one NIT and one NAIA Division I national tournaments. This is the first time Robinson has coached against Portland State.
Robinson is assisted by Jared Barrett (Eastern Oregon, 1996), Todd Okeson (Nevada, 2005) and Drew Allen (Southern Utah, 2010).
Tyler Geving (Central Washington, 1996) is 49-60 in his fourth season at the helm of the Viking program. Coach Geving is 0-0 vs. SUU.
Affiliations: Southern Utah is in its first season as a member of the Big Sky Conference. All of SUU's sports except gymnastics and men's golf compete in the Big Sky. Gymnastics is an affiliate member of the WAC while men's golf competes in the American Sky Conference. Portland State is also a member of the Big Sky.
The Schedule: The Thunderbirds have played nine non-conference games, three at home, four true road contests, and two neutral court match-ups. They have played four conference games at home and two on the road. SUU opened at #21 Gonzaga, then played three games in three days at the World Vision Classic, meeting Green Bay, Cal State Fullerton and host Nevada before opening its home schedule against Carroll College. SUU also played non-conference games at TCU, at Denver, and at home against San Diego Christian and San Diego. SUU has just one non-conference game remaining, a BracketBuster match-up at home on Feb. 23.
Last Time Out: Jackson Stevenett scored 19 points to become just the 11th player in Southern Utah basketball history to score 1,000 career points, while Damon Heuir added 20 points and Jayson Cheesman contributed a career-high 13 but the Thunderbirds lost a 76-68 decision at Montana State. The game was a one-point affair with 2:38 to play but the Bobcats outscored the Thunderbirds 9-3 down the stretch to claim the victory. All nine points came from the free throw line as the T-Birds were fouling down the stretch and MSU was taking advantage of the opportunities. Cheesman blocked three shots to move into fifth place on the SUU single-season list with 40. Jordan Johnson got his second straight start then pulled down a career-high seven rebounds and tied his career-best with a team-high five assists. Tyson Koehler got his first start of the season with Jaren Jackson on the bench with the flu. SUU out-rebounded the Bobcats 37-13 and held a 13-11 assists edge but turned the ball over 13 tomes to 11 for MSU.
T-Birds In The National Ranks: SUU has two players ranked among the NCAA's top-50 after Sunday's games, and the team ranks in the top-50 in one category and in the top-100 in three. Jayson Cheesman is 37th in blocks per game with an average of 2.31, while Jackson Stevenett is 44th in free throw percentage at .870.

Moving Up The Ranks:
Jackson Stevenett has exactly 1,000 points in his three-plus seasons as a Thunderbird. He is currently 11th on SUU's career scoring list and needs 77 to tie Russell Otis (1984-86) in 10th. He also has 416 career rebounds, which ranks 16th on the SUU career list. He needs six to tie Kerry Rupp (422, 1974-77) in 15th place and 47 to move into the top-10, where Davor Marcelic is 10th with 463.
Jayson Cheesman has 40 blocked shots this season, which ranks fifth on SUU's single-season list and ninth on the career list. He needs eight to tie Kenyatta Clyde in fourth place and 24 to tie Matt Hodgson (2009-10) atop the single-season list. He needs five to move into a tie with Richard Barton (1986-87, 1990-93) in eighth place and six to tie Fred House (1998-2001 in seventh on the career list.
Cleaning The Glass:
- The Thunderbirds have won the battle of the boards 12 times this season. They were out-rebounded in their first three games of the season then won the battle of the boards in nine straight contests before Sacramento State had a 41-38 edge on the boards and Weber State held a 46-41 advantage. SUU got back on the glass vs. Idaho State, however, out-rebounding the Bengals 43-34, edged Montana on the boards 30-28 and had a 37-33 advantage over Montana State.
- SUU has reeled in 40 or more caroms eight times this season. Last year's team had a total of four 40-rebound games.
- SUU pulled down a season-high 51 rebounds vs. San Diego Christian. The team's high mark vs. a Division I foe was 45, against Northern Colorado.
Block Party:
- SUU averages 5.3 blocks per game, which ranks second in the Big Sky. The Thunderbirds have rejected 89 shots this season, including 12 against North Dakota, SUU's highest total since the team combined for 13 rejections against Panhandle State on Dec. 14, 2010 and the highest total in the Big Sky so far this season. The Thunderbirds were in double-digits against San Diego as well, when they blocked 10 shots.
- Jayson Cheesman didn't take much time to break into the SUU record books. In his first game as a Thunderbird the junior transfer from Salt Lake Community College blocked five shots, which tied the sixth-highest single-game blocks total in SUU history. With 40 total blocks this season Cheesman is all alone in fifth place on the SUU single-season list.
- Cal Hanks tied Cheesman in sixth place on that single-game list when he came off the bench to block five shots against North Dakota. Hanks had three last week to give him 18 blocks on the season.
- SUU blocked five shots at Montana, giving the team five or more blocks in a game 11 times this season.
T-Bird Notes:
- Jackson Stevenett's 19 points at Montana gave him exactly 1,000 for his career. He is just the 11th player in SUU history to break the 1,000 point mark and just the third to cross that threshold since 1993. Jeff Monaco finished his career in 2001 with 1,568 points (second on SUU's all-time list) while Davis Baker finished his in 2010 with 1,205 (sixth on SUU's all-time list).
- Montana hit just two 3-pointers and attempted just seven, opponent season-lows for SUU. The Grizzlies also went without a blocked shot, marking the only time this season an opponent didn't reject at least one T-Bird try.
- Julian Scott, who missed five games with a foot injury, then played in the NAU, Sac State, Weber State and Idaho State games, was lost for the season with a knee injury suffered in practice January 18.
- The Thunderbirds had just four players foul out of the nine non-conference games (including two at TCU) but have had 12 disqualifications in the seven Big Sky contests so far, including two at both Northern Arizona and Sac State and three against Weber State and at Montana.
- SUU was the first team to win its first three Big Sky Conference games in its first season of play since Boise State started out 4-0 back in 1970-71.
- SUU shot .568 from the floor and .538 from 3-point range at NAU - both season-high percentages - and knocked down 78.6 percent of its free throws, including 10-of-12 in the final 1:08 to clinch the win.
- The T-Birds attempted a season-high 42 free throws and hit a season-high 33 of them at NAU. En route to his Big Sky-season-high 30 points Damon Heuir hit a team-high 4-of-6 3-pointers and 14-of-16 free throws. The 14 made free throws are also the most in a single game in the Big Sky this season.
- Stevenett has scored a career-high 29 points twice this season, at Gonzaga and again vs. Weber State. Stevenett's 29 points at Gonzaga was tied as the highest single-game point total in the Big Sky this season until Heuir scored 30 at NAU. Stevenett's 11 field goals made against the Zags is the highest total in the conference so far this season, while his 11-of-15 shooting night (.733) ranks second-best in the Sky, behind Northern Colorado's Connor Osborne, who hit 8-of-9 shots against University of the Southwest.
- Stevenett and Heuir are the only two players to lead the Thunderbirds in scoring this season. Heuir has led the 'Birds in nine games and Stevenett has paced the team eight times.
- Jordan Johnson hit the first 3-pointer of the season and the second of his career at NAU. He buried another against Idaho State and one more at Montana.
- Northern Arizona hit just 3-of-17 3-pointers against the Thunderbirds, 17.6 percent. It was the lowest percentage and tied for the second-fewest long-range baskets by the Lumberjacks this season.
- SUU posted its first win of the season after trailing at the half, trailing in the last minute and when scoring fewer than 60 points when it came back for the 51-50 win over Northern Colorado. In that game the Thunderbirds also notched their first win when the opponent turned the ball over more (UNC had 18 turnovers to SUU's 14), when the opponent's bench outscored the 'Birds (14-8), in a game decided by seven or fewer points and when the opponent shot a better percentage from the floor (.380-to-.339).
- SUU had a season-high six players score in double figures against San Diego Christian. Stevenett led the way with 15, while Damon Heuir and Wade Collie each finished with 13. Jayson Cheesman finished with 12 points and both Jaren Jeffery and Jordan Johnson had 10. For Cheesman and Johnson the totals were career-highs while Collie's 13 were a season-high. Johnson was a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor while Collie was 5-of-6 and Hanks, who finished with a then-career-high seven points, was 3-for-3 from the field as SUU finished with a season-best 55.9 field goal percentage.
- SUU combined for a season-high 18 assists vs. SDCC. Freshman A.J. Hess came off the bench to lead the squad with a career-high five dimes vs. the Hawks, while Collie had four and all but two Thunderbirds who saw action dished out at least one.

- Southern Utah plays 14 home games this season, including 10 Big Sky Conference contests and one in the BracketBusters tournament. The 10 conference match-ups are the most ever in a season for SUU, a far cry from the four the team had in 1993-94 and 1994-95 when it was a member of the five-team American West Conference and there were just four home conference dates. The last several years SUU has played nine Summit League games per season in the Centrum.
- SUU and the University of North Dakota are in their first seasons in the Big Sky, making it an 11-team conference. The Thunderbirds had been members of the Summit League (nee. Mid-Continent Conference) for the past 15 seasons before joining the BSC.

Photo gallery: San Bernardino Man Reunites With Dog
SAN BERNARDINO - It's a story that has generated hundreds of dollars in donations, a job offer and even a marriage proposal. And also a few barks.
Dave Thomas, 36, of San Bernardino was separated from his dog, Buzz, last week when he was arrested in the city. The male pit bull mix, whose full name is Buzz Lightyear, was placed in the animal shelter in San Bernardino, and Thomas, who had only $6 in his pocket, couldn't afford the estimated $400 to free his dog.
"It made me crazy," Thomas said.
So when a frequent shelter visitor saw him crying next to his dog's cage, the woman decided to do something about it.
Maria Sanchez, a Riverside resident, says she visits the shelter daily on her lunch break to take pictures and raise awareness about dogs needing to be adopted. She posted pictures of Thomas with his dog on Facebook, asking for people to help.
"It went viral," Sanchez said. "It's just crazy."
But Sanchez also faced another problem: She had no way of reaching Thomas, and he didn't leave any information with the shelter.
That's when dog lovers from around the county stepped up again, with more than 3,500 people sharing a post on Facebook asking if anyone recognized the man and others trading emails or phone calls.
Robin Barker, an Oregon resident with family in San Bernardino, said she was emailed by a Washington resident.
"I had people driving around San Bernardino looking for him," Barker said, saying the story resonated early on with many people who incorrectly thought Thomas was homeless. "Whether he's homeless or whatever, this is all he has in the world, and he obviously loves this dog. Animals have such a sad plight in this world to begin with, and if we can just reunite one man with his dog, that would be great."
Eventually, reporters who tracked down Thomas connected her with him.
By Tuesday morning, Sanchez said donations had grown to more than $2,000.
Despite Thomas' hopes to get his dog back Tuesday, he'll have to wait a little bit longer.
Sanchez said shelter officials won't release Buzz until he is neutered by a veterinarian. Thomas is hoping to retrieve his dog this afternoon.
Police said they followed protocol in having animal control officers take the dog to the shelter because Thomas and a woman he was with were both arrested and no one was available to take the animal.
Police Lt. Paul Williams said Thomas was suspected of possessing drugs for sale. Thomas claims he was arrested because he failed to show up to court for speeding tickets.
"He wasn't arrested for speeding tickets," Williams said. "He was arrested for a felony crime."
Thomas said he had marijuana when he was arrested, but he showed reporters paperwork on Tuesday indicating he's a medical marijuana patient.
Despite the arrest, Thomas said he was overwhelmed by the support.
"It's just incredible," he said. "I believe it's for my dog and not me."

'Data walls' in Massachusetts shame students with low test scores
At least one psychopathically cruel person involved in the Holyoke, Mass. public school system thinks it is a good idea to use "data walls" to motivate students.
A data wall is a public display — for grade-school kids, or junior high kids or high school kids — which exhibits test scores or reading levels of all kids for every kid to see. Publicly displayed posters listing the first and last names of students as young as third grade — and perhaps even younger — inform anyone who leers which students are succeeding and which students are failing in a given academic area.
Such a wall might make the most advanced kid in a class feel proud. The kids who struggle with some subject, however—maybe not so much.
Some public school classrooms in Holyoke have been using data walls since the beginning of this academic year, reports local Fox affiliate WGGB. They show each student's name along with progress in a particular academic area.

39th Annual Sugar Bowl Classic ~ December 31, 1972
Trivia question: Exactly who won the 39th Sugar Bowl?
On the field, the answer is Oklahoma. The official outcome would be questioned afterward.
But that was months later.
Before kickoff, a virus struck the Penn State team, and bad health news hit Oklahoma.
Joe Paterno learned the day of the game he would be without much of his ground attack - John Cappelletti, who had rushed for 1,117 yards during the regular-season, had a 102-degree fever and was out of the Sugar Bowl. The Penn State coach had the flu himself, but refused to have his temperature taken so no one could command him from the sideline.
Chuck Fairbanks, coach of the Sooners, decided hours before kickoff that the knee of starting split end John Carroll still hadn't recovered sufficiently. It was a major decision because much of Paterno's pre-game concern centered on Carroll. Just before the game, freshman Tinker Owens was told he would start.
Oklahoma was stymied until the Sooners started hammering the Nittany Lions in the middle. "That's where most of our success came from," said OU quarterback Dave Robertson. It opened up the passing lanes. After 10 consecutive running plays used five minutes of the clock in the second period and put Oklahoma at the 27, OU put the first points up. "We called what we referred to as '346-S-Post,' said Owens. "It was a fake dive and I would go down field. Penn State was playing me man-to-man and really watching for Joe Washington to get the ball."
Owens made an over-the-shoulder catch at the 7 between two defenders, worked himself loose and went over. "It was funny," Tinker said. "I didn't even think I would catch it. The ball was right there, but it was over my shoulder and I had to look up and back. After I caught it, I just kept running and the guy on me slid off."
The half ended with the same 7-0 score, and it was obvious that without Cappelletti, Penn State was seriously hindered. The Sooners concentrated on stopping a suddenly one-dimensional offense.
Two minutes into the fourth quarter, Gary Hayman dropped an Oklahoma punt and Ken Jones recovered on the Lions' 33. After a couple of plays, Joe Wylie unleashed a halfback pass in the highlight (though disputed) of the night. "I ran a post pattern again," Owens said, "and the ball was a little underthrown. I dove for it and caught it between my elbows. It didn't bounce at all."
The Penn State contingent, and some reporters, felt the reception at the 1 was trapped. The film was unclear. Owens maintained it was a catch. "I caught it," he said. "I knew I had it then, I know I had it now."
Leon Crosswhite went in two plays later and, after Rick Fulcher's kick, Oklahoma led 14-0 with 9:46 to go.
Owens, in his third starting assignment, had five receptions for 132 yards, which resulted in one touchdown and set up another. He would receive the Miller-Digby Trophy.
Three months later there was a question of having to change the score: A joint investigation by the University of Oklahoma and the Big Eight Conference revealed that the high school transcripts of freshman quarterback Kerry Jackson and center-linebacker Mike Phillips had been tampered with. As a result, Oklahoma voluntarily forfeited every game in which the pair participated, including the Sugar Bowl.
Penn State coach Joe Paterno refused to change the outcome. "It's a shame that a great effort by an Oklahoma football team has to be marred by an inexcusable recruiting violation such as this incident," Paterno said in a prepared statement. "However, irrespective of what action Oklahoma or the Sugar Bowl would take in regards to the forfeit, our players and the Oklahoma players know who won the game."
Penn State-Oklahoma was a treasure trove for trivia buffs: it was the first Sugar Bowl every played on a Sunday; it was the first time two Sugar Bowls were played in the same calendar year (Jan. 1, 1972 and Dec. 31, 1972); one team, Oklahoma, won two Sugar Bowls in the same year; and for the first time a freshman was the game's MVP.
