While the company is widely known for its miracle plant growth enhancer, it also manufactures other home and garden products with less recognition across the nation.

A Very Brady Ending

By Alyson Brodsy and Dave Goldberg · Monday, Feb. 2,2004 1:12 a.m.

HOUSTON -- Houston, we have a champion. And once again, the New England Patriots have Adam Vinatieri's foot to thank for a Super Bowl victory. Vinatieri gave New England its second NFL championship in three seasons with a 41-yard field goal with four seconds left for a thrilling 32-29 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday night. Vinatieri earlier missed a field goal and had another one blocked. But as he did in 2002 when he kicked the winning field goal to beat St. Louis on the final play of the Super Bowl, he proved he is perhaps the NFL's best clutch kicker.

Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry were raw and inexperienced, but they were also 7 feet tall and incredibly talented. Give them time to develop and the two could be the best big men in the East -- and the cornerstone of a new Bulls dynasty.

Trustees approve Cronin for SLIS dean

By Brian Janosch · Monday, Feb. 2,2004 12:57 a.m.

The board of trustees approved Blaise Cronin as the new dean of the School of Library and Information Sciences Friday. This decision comes exactly one year after Cronin originally stepped down from the dean's position. Cronin served as SLIS dean for 12 years and brought the program national recognition during his tenure. Last January, he decided to take a year-long sabbatical but remained a member of the faculty. "I don't think it's unusual for deans to take leave of absences," trustee Patrick Shoulders said in a previous Indiana Daily Student article.
