Welcome to National Caramel P0pcorn Day!
P0pcorn is made by boiling the water inside the corn kernel. As the liquid water becomes gaseous, it occupies much more volume and therefore causes incredible pressure in the kernel that causes it to explode into being inside-out.
Unpopped popcorn kernels are called “old maids.”
Americans consume 17 billion quarts of popped popcorn annually, or 54 quarts per man, woman and child.

Where will Taurean Thompson's skills take him? (Syracuse basketball player evaluations) (PS; Waters)
Syracuse's projected roster for the 2017-18 campaign consists of just eight players. What can SU fans expect from the Orange next season? Over the next week, we will take a daily look at each player on SU's roster.
TAUREAN THOMPSON
Sophomore, 6-10, 225 lbs.
Final stats: 9.2 ppg, 3.8 rpg
2016-17 season
Taurean Thompson averaged 9.2 points per game this past season. If that doesn't sound like a big deal to you, consider past Syracuse centers.
Arinze Onuaku averaged 2.0 points as a freshman. Rakeem Christmas was at 2.8. Etan Thomas had a scoring average of 5.7 points.

Former Syracuse guard Tyler Ennis scores career-high 19 points in Lakers win (PS; AP)
The Los Angeles Lakers were having a blast in a rather meaningless game, dashing up and down the court and flying to the rim for rebounds and dunks.
And no one was having more fun than Tyler Ennis.
Making his first start of the season, Ennis had 19 points in place of injured starter D'Angelo Russell and the Lakers never trailed in a 102-95 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.

Weather turns much nicer this weekend in Central New York (PS; Montreuil)
Syracuse-An extended period of dry weather will kick off this weekend across Central New York as low pressure pulls away and high pressure builds into the southeastern United States.
Central New York will still be under some influence from the late week storm on Saturday. Gusty winds and cool temperatures will be the primary result, as precipitation should move out Friday night and clouds will thin early Saturday morning.
Northwest winds will gust to around 30 mph during the day on Saturday. The cool waters of Lake Ontario will modify the already chilly air and should result in high temperatures Saturday in the low to maybe mid 40s. With the wind, it may feel more like the upper 30s at times.
