A bunch of huge football players were crawling around on their hands and knees at the end of Tuesday’s Miami Dolphins’ practice. They were trying to help out defensive end Kendall Langford, who had lost one of his earrings. Langford said the diamond was nearly 2.5 carats. He was joined by several of his Dolphins teammates who looked around the field for about an hour after practice. But the search was in vain, the earring was still missing. Langford wouldn’t say how much the earring was worth but one jewelry distributor says it could be worth more than $50,000. Dolphins coach Tony Sparano didn’t take part in the search, though he did watch for a while.

There are seven types of parents you'll find on move-in day. What type best describes your folks? • The disapproving parents. They have a complaint about every little detail of the dorm room. • The divorced parents. They both insist on helping you move in but their real motive is trying to get you to like one of them more than the other. • The overly friendly parents. They want to meet and get to know everyone in the entire dorm. • The parents who went to this school. All they talk about is how much everything has changed and how it used to be when they were there. • The over-prepared parents. They come with everything you could possibly need, including a toolbox in case any repairs are needed. • The trashy parents. They think the college has given you some real fancy digs to live in. And before they leave, they treat you to a special goodbye dinner -- at KFC. • The parents who won't leave. They have no idea that all you wanted from them is a ride and some help carrying bags into your room. But since they took you there and you're their baby, they think you need them there for a while.
