After a few modifications, this was amazing! I happened to have all this stuff on hand and I wanted to use it up so I tried this recipe. I added peanuts to the dry ingredients and the chocolate powder went into the wet ingredients, as suggested by another reviewer. I thought that the wet ingredients were not wet enough, so I also added 3 tbsp of butter. I originally tried pouring the wet ingredients on top of the dry ingredients, as written the recipe. However, they would not seep down (wet ingredients still too thick), so I ended up just mixing them in. I'm so glad I did; it was not crumbly at all, and it was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again, with the modifications as described.
Quick, easy and delish!! Will make again. I used almond butter and no sugar, just the honey. I bought some healthier grain rice cereal at the helathfood store.
We really enjoy these bars and what I do is pack the mixture down into the pan to keep the bars from being crumbly. I also stir the cocoa into the hot liqiud before mixing with the cereal.

20" rims on '03 Suburban throwing off performance
I just wanted to switch to some nice chrome rims on my Burb and it seemed like people were okay with 20s on them and didn't complain about performance issues. Well, poor braking, wheels following ruts in the road, water spraying all over the sides, overall "jittery" ride (not stiff...jittery) would be performance issues I'm dealing with.
Rims are 20" Boss 304s. They look smoking hot. But, they aren't going to work for me. I'm going to resell (got them used anyway and shouldn't lose money). I'm guessing that nothing short of a suspension/brake overhaul is going to make these rims work, so I'm looking for advice on something that will look sharp, classy, somewhat "hot rod"-looking. I really like the 2006 LTZ 20" chrome rims, which I THINK is the same truck suspension-wise, and I'm guessing they might be lighter (forged?) wheels that don't throw off the suspension and braking so much, though I would imagine they would still follow the ruts in the roads.
Any ideas for chrome rims that would perform similar to the factory 16x7s? I'm looking at some 16 or 17" American Racing rims, though they're 8" wide instead of 7.
Important points:
- they can't make braking worse (unless I can upgrade the brakes cheaply)
- I can allow a slightly stiffer ride, but not heavier rims that bounce around on bumpy roads
- I would prefer that they aren't much wider, or have an easy fender flare solution that would look nice and combat the "water fountain" spraying past the side windows like my 20s do
- I would like to find used and get what I need for under $1000 (with used tires)
Thanks in advance for any advice!

First off Welcome.. You should be fine with a 20 x 8 1/2 to 9in rim. What tire did you go with? What Sup do you have? Do you have a programer?
Ok to start off a Bigger rim will be more weight so YES it will take a bit longer to stop. You can get some good upgrades for around $400.00 for Good pads and bigger rotors. I have the SSBC system.. 2nd a bigger rim means a shorter tire height so you will get a stiffer ride (don't tell the wife LOL)and better handeling , Less of a flexing of the tire with a this side wall. I've had up to a 22in rim on my old Av but I drive in NYC all the time and don't like to stop short for every pot hole so I stayed with 20's but have my factory 18's on for the winter..08 Z71 Avalanche Mods to date: K&N CAI,Hellwig Swaybars and End Links, Corsa Sport Exhaust, Superchips Programer,IPCW LOF & 3rd brake light and tails, AMI Gas door,Show Hooks and Door locks, Enkei Wheels, with Pirelli tires, StreetScene Bowties, Grant Steering wheel,Muth signal mirrors,SSBC Big Brake kit,Huskyliner Mug gards,Floor mats and Hood shield, McGard Lug nuts and locks, Bedrug, Cervini's Ram Air hood,35watt HID Fog lights, Sylvania bulbs all around ZXE's Highs and Lows, WhiteNight Back up lights,Sirius and HD Radio, SnugTop sitting on deck now Got a Softopper on now,Tempress Boat Hatches....

I have a 2003 LT without the autoride.
I don't have a programmer. What is a "sup"?
285/50-20 tire. I've seen Silverados with the 275/55, but that's not the tire recommended for the Burb from what I've seen. Maybe that tire would be better for the ride but would need the speedo recalibrated? Actually, it seems like my speedo is off a little even with these- like it says I'm going about 1mph slower than I really am instead of being dead on like it was before. I've only driven past one radar speed limit sign, though, which is a crude system for figuring that out.
It seems like more than just a stiff ride. It feels like the suspension can't handle the weight of the wheels, like it doesn't have as much control.

I wouldnt toss them aside just yet, like stated with less tire and more rim you are gonna feel the road more, I would alos have them checked at another shop just to make sure they were balanced correctly, if you tell the shop whats going on they may even do it for free considereing the economy and if they do find something wring it may give them your future business over the place that originally mounted them. And for the speedo, i would just get a programmer that can change the tire/rim size, thats all you need, then you can change it on your own if you ever go back to the stock tires or winter rims. taking it to the dealership could be costly instead of just getting the programmer.99 K1500 Suburban LT "THE BEAST"

There is a little bit of a balance issue with one or two of the wheels that I noticed, but I only detect that at certain speeds. I bought them used with fairly worn tires and didn't expect they were going to be balanced perfectly. I just had the rims swapped, not balanced.
The ride doesn't feel more firm/rough like driving a 2500 or 3500 truck, but it feels more like the much heavier wheels dance around and the suspension and steering can't handle it very well. I'm getting used to it to some degree, but when I first drove out of the shop it was awfully disconcerting.
Even if I could live with the strange handling on rough roads and get bigger brakes to compensate for the weight, I have a lot of rutted roads around here and it's like trying to tame a wild horse driving on those surfaces. I don't know of a way to fix that.
it's annoying when I'm driving my family of 5 around in it and the truck wants to dart around, dance and buck on the bumps and then not stop very well to boot. The truck only has 110k on it, but it sound like it has 300k when things start rattling when I have the big rims on.
Again, I'm not looking to spend much more money to achieve the end goal.
Here is the end goal: find some used or new chrome rims/tires that don't noticeably alter the handling, braking, gas mileage, speedo for under $1000. I can maybe get $300-400 for my stocks because the tires are almost new (I just bought the truck that way a few weeks back) if I can find something that would work year-round. I spent $750 on the 20s with very used tires in exc condition and should be be able to get my money back out.
I was hoping there was a factory 18" chrome from the 00-06 era that would be within spec on the current suspension, but I haven't found one. I found a ton of 20s that were maybe dealer installed, but I don't know if those wheels are still as heavy or if they were lighter, maybe forged, rims that wouldn't make the suspension so whacked. I can deal with a little stiffer ride and maybe even a little wandering on rutted roads if the braking is fine and the suspension didn't freak out.
Does anyone know if the 05-06 Burb had any suspension or brake mods that would have allowed a 20 more easily? I think the LTZ and Z71 did, but I don't know about the LT.

The first two pics are my Burb with the new rims. I know it's very dirty (it rained the day I put them on) but you get the idea.
The next is a truck with American Racing "Fuel" 17s that I think would look nice.
The Dodge has American Racing "Python" 16s, which my BIL has on his 2000 Tahoe and I've always thought they looked great and they had actually been dealer installed as a new truck and haven't had any chrome peel in 140k miles.
The last one is the American Racing "Circuit". A 20" is pictured, but I would stick with an 18x8
There is a thumbnail of a Chevy truck that I tried to delete, but I don't think it worked.

I swapped out my Factory 16in's Rims and am now running.....20in" Silverado Alloy Rims with a Tire Size of 275/55's on my Truck(Pictured Below).........
Regarding your Question........Does anyone know if the 05-06 Burb had any suspension or brake mods that would have allowed a 20 more easily? I think the LTZ and Z71 did, but I don't know about the LT.
Next to the Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package, there is the Z83 and Z85 Suspension Packages and they come with the Following features,
.....Z83 – Delivers a solid, smooth ride wîth 35mm-piston, twin-tube shocks and a 32mm front stabilizer bar
.....Z85 – Designed for enhanced handling and trailer towing, wîth 35mm-piston, monotube shocks and a 36mm front stabilizer bar
.....Z71 – Delivers enhanced off-road capability; features 46mm shocks, off-road jounce bumpers and a 36mm front stabilizer bar; the package also includes a skid plate, heavy-duty air cleaner and Z71 decals on the rear fenders,
.....Next To Tires another part that can Hurt and/or Improve the Ride Comfort and Handling would be Shocks......I went with Edelbrock IAS Shocks......once again a Very Nice Improvement In the Ride Comfort and Handling over the Factory Shock Setup,
.......On the Brake, as mentioned by Enkeiavalanche and yourself, going with an Aftermarket Rotor and Brake Pad setup will help with stopping when going with Bigger Rims,
......I've upgraded to SSBC's Slotted Rotor's and Hawk Ceramic Brake Pads and also installed Russell's SS Braided Brake-lines, going with this Aftermarket Brake Setup, is and has been a Huge Improvement, over the Factory Brake Setup,
One Other Important Item, and that is......Backspace and Offset when ordering Rims......there are a couple of link's here on the Site, if you do a search, that talk about Backspace and Offset.
Last......This link below will allow you to enter your Current Rim and Tire Size Setup and also allow you to enter a Rim and Tire setup size that you may be looking at......and you'll be able to compare the 2 Rim and Tire setup's side by side,

found a better package
Thought I would give an update to this thread. It took awhile, as I had my third child and a lot of life happen since then.
I went back to stocks for a bit, then found some used American Racing "Python" 16" rims that I could swap my stock tires to. Thought I was done. Unfortunately, there was a defect in one of the rims and it wouldn't balance out. The truck vibrated over 70mph. I just sold them today, as I found the rim I always wanted to have on the truck a couple days ago.
I found a steal on some 20" chrome 5-spoke rims off a 2012 Tahoe LTZ that had been totaled out. The previous owner had bought them from his buddy at the salvage company for $1700 with 2000 miles on them, then was selling his truck and I noticed on his ad that he still had the stocks so I worked out a deal to get these. $900 plus I had to buy some lug nuts. 5000 miles on the rims and Bridgestone Dueler tires. Practically stole them.
So, these have a firmer ride, but not punishing. They spin round and true up to 80 mph and feel like butter at that speed. I discovered that there were several reasons for my issues with the Boss rims.
1. my brakes were in much worse shape than I thought. The truck stops just as well now as with my 16" rims, as I just got new brakes a couple weeks ago.
2. the tracking problem on rutted roads was from the 285 width and 50 profile. There was no flex and the tires just wanted to ride up out of the ruts. The 275s have virtually no tracking problems and I don't have to hold on with both hands like I did with the other tires/rims.
3. The ride quality was mostly from the crappy tires I had. The tread was low, and it was also an off-brand tire with a hard compound. These Duelers ride smooth and are GREAT in the rain, too. These tires are also 55 profile instead of 50, so that is a noticeable improvement.
I think the next step is I may be nearing time to replace shocks and I should go with something with a smoother ride that would be more compliant with this rim size.
Looks great!

Easiest fudge recipe ever! This chocolate fudge recipe is super easy to make, and very festive with added peppermint candies.
There's this old house in the town where I live, that used to belong to my great-great grandparents. My mom has memories of this very tiny old house being filled with close to a hundred family members.
Now, it's a museum. It used to house the family dairy business, and now it houses old typewriters and pictures of the winning church basketball team from 1981.
In my head, these hundred cramped family members were treated to a spread of foods, cakes, cookies, and candies. But when I asked my mom what desserts she remembered, she replied, "Fudge. Just fudge. And divinity." Apparently, the cookies and cakes only existed in my head.
I've never really been a pro at fudge. There are so many different versions, and so many different preferences about this popular candy. My mom prefers hers a little stiff, and always with walnuts. Always. It was the same with brownies. "Don't make it without walnuts," she instructed us. "Just don't."
Robb's family makes a less sweet version, what has come to be known as "dirt fudge" in the annals of family history. This is because when Robb's sister gave family fudge to a friend as a "secret Santa" gift, her friend, not realizing who it was from, commented, "This fudge tastes like dirt."
Since I'm sort of new at this whole fudge making thing, I figured I would start small and make the easiest fudge I could find. Which turned out to be the Bittersweet Cinnamon Fudge by Giada de Laurentiis. This stuff is so easy, she literally gives you the entire recipe and process during a commercial.
Just my speed.
What's not my speed? Washing my pan while the fudge was cooking, because someone left it in the fridge with one tiny piece of meatloaf in it, rather than put the leftovers in a baggie or in their mouth, and putting the pan in the sink like a normal person. I can complain, because for once, it wasn't me.
One nice thing about fudge is that if you have a hundred family members to greet during the holidays, you can cut the fudge into little pieces, put it in a box, and it makes a nice gift. You can even make your own box out of scrapbook paper or cardstock and make it super-duper cute.
By the way, Giada was right that this can be made during a commercial break. It really is that easy!

Here are a few other quick and easy holiday favorites!

- Remove from heat, add vanilla and ½ cup peppermint chips. Stir to incorporate.
- Pour into an 8x8 pan lined with greased foil. Press remaining peppermint chips on the top of the fudge.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Use foil to remove fudge from the pan. Cut into squares.

Low attendance at the Garden City pool this summer is causing a financial strain for city leaders.
A combination of issues are to blame, including a number of cooler summer days and an increased family pass price, City Administrator Randy Jones said.
Before the start of the this year's pool season, the Garden City Board of Aldermen voted to raise the cost of the family pool pass from $125 to $175.
"I don't think it was bad, but it did really hurt because we didn't sell as nearly as many passes," Jones said. "They were trying to increase the revenue, but that didn't help."
Rain and cooler temperatures from late May through June are also being noted for the decline.
Jones said a woman from the community volunteers her time to teach water aerobic classes at the pool for 10-20 participants four nights a week. Participants are charged $5 a session, which is given to the city. Last season, the sessions generated more than $2,000 in revenue.
But in the last couple weeks, evening temperatures have been too cool for those avid swimmers to be comfortable in the water.
"It was just too cold so they got out and didn't meet the next night," Jones said. "It's just now getting nice. A lot of I think has to do with the weather."
Jones said the pool had a decent amount of visitors last weekend, July 12-14, including 34 people on Friday, 23 on Saturday and 20 on Sunday.
However, Garden City's budget isn't out of the water just yet even if the weather remains warm the rest of the pool's season.
The city's financial strain of low attendance has also been met with difficulties of paying back the costs of building the pool.
Garden City voters approved a half-cent sales tax in 2006 to build a new pool for the community, but in recent years, the city has struggled to make payments on the construction of the new pool, which opened the following year.
"The voters voted it in that we have this pool and have the half-percent sales tax that was supposed to make the payment," Jones said.
But tax revenues throughout the city are proving to not be enough.
"When we got Dollar General in town, that helped a lot because people quit going to Harrisonville and starting buying a lot of their Walmart-type items there," Jones said. "That really helped our tax revenue, but it still isn't enough."
Jones said other city departments have had to make budget cuts in order to keep the city from sinking into a deficit because of the pool.
"The other departments suffer because we have to have money in the account to not go overdrawn," Jones said.
Three years ago, the pool has also stopped operating on Mondays and Tuesdays, which have typically been slower days, to save on lifeguard costs.
Jones said it costs about $150 a day to staff the lifeguards at the pool.
"We have to pay three lifeguards whether there was anyone there or not, and those were two of our slowest days," Jones said. "We've been trying to think of ways to get people there so we can get out of this mess."
In recent days, the city has been trying to spark a renewed interest to get more people to come to the pool. Jones hosted a free day on Wednesday for area residents.
"We thought if we let them in free one day, maybe they will come back," he said.
The city is also planning a youth night 6-9 p.m. Friday, July 26.
The event is for ages 10-18, and will feature pizza, games, glow sticks and prizes. Admission to the pool is $4. There is an additional cost for food and to participate in the games.
"A couple of my lifeguards had gone to the Harrisonville pool last summer and had a teen night there," Jones said. "They thought it was fun. They played games, had food and prizes, so we're going to try that."
The Garden City Pool is located at 700 Willow Ln. Hours are 1-7 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday.
Daily admission is $5/person. Amenities include zero-depth entry and deck spray features.

Boise is no stranger to top 10 lists, a fact embraced by city and chamber officials as they tout the City of Trees' lifestyle and economic opportunities to potential future residents and businesses.
The latest feather in Boise's cap? Mention as one of the top 25 U.S. cities in which to retire.
The 2014 version of the list, compiled by Forbes, analyzed more than 400 cities, focusing primarily on economic conditions but also giving weight to violent crime rates and bikability/walkability.
Boise was given kudos for its cost of living, favorable tax climate, dry climate, bikability, walkability and volunteer opportunities.

An atheist group is considering a human rights complaint after it says a billboard company refused to run its advertisements in Vancouver.
The Centre for Inquiry Canada created a billboard design depicting a smiling woman alongside a few phrases written in a biblical style.
"Jenn 13:1," it reads. "Praying won't help. Doing will.
Below the group's name, the ad says: "Without God. We're all good."
Pat O'Brien, board member for The Centre for Inquiry Canada, said the organization submitted the ads to Pattison Outdoor but was told they were unacceptable.
"They didn't really give us a good reason why they turned us down. In fact when we asked for some guidelines, they said they didn't have any guidelines that they could give us."

Our Mission:
OperaDelaware is a professional non-profit opera company with a reputation for excellence in both opera and arts education. Our mission is to enrich the cultural lives of adults, families and students within the Mid-Atlantic region through meaningful arts education and the production of grand opera and intimate opera concerts, featuring established and emerging talent.
Our History:
The year was 1945 when a group of local artisans gathered under the guidance of Chick Laird to present classic opera with the finest voices in Wilmington at affordable prices. Today, our patrons are geographically and culturally as diverse as ever, stretching across the East Coast while at the same time reaching deeply into our Wilmington roots. Located in the heart of Wilmington, we serve the entire metropolitan area.
We are the only professional opera company in the state and the 14th oldest in the country. We are a source of economic revitalization and a source of arts education for many schools in the area that have none. We employ nearly 250 full-and part-time local artists and staff members throughout the season and operate on an $850K annual budget.
Artists we have nurtured have performed in major houses throughout the world. We have been the recipient of major grants from national and local organizations and have received numerous awards and recognitions including the National Endowment for the Arts, Opera America, Governor's Award for the Arts, and National Opera Associations' Service to Children's Opera award. We are a company that still retains the founders' original philosophy of "Opera for Everyone."

He founded and directed G&S Players in collaboration with Young Audiences of Atlanta and has also led classes through the Atlanta Opera Studio and Baltimore Opera Studio outreach programs.

He has also presented lectures, recitals, and master-classes under the auspices of the Marilyn Horne Foundation through artist-residencies in high schools and colleges throughout the country.
Hardy was a consultant for a edutainment startup, helping develop story and content ideas while designing and managing production of slideshows and videos used for boardroom presentations.

He has accompanied master classes for Birgit Nilsson, Maureen Forrester, John Duke, Martina Arroyo and David Garvey.
Now in his 29th season with OperaDelaware, Mr. Miller has been principal accompanist since 1985, chorus master since 1995, and was appointed Music Director of OperaDelaware in 2010.
His life-long interest in the history of recorded sound, focusing primarily on classical vocal recordings, inspired him to take an active part in making early recordings available to the public. As Production Coordinator for the CD companies Romophone and Marston, he has participated in the release of over 100 compact discs of historic singers, including the complete recorded output of Emma Eames, Adelina Patti, Nellie Melba, and Lucrezia Bori, the latter having won the Gramophone magazine Best Historic Vocal Recording of the Year award in 1995. He continues to work closely with Ward Marston to this day, providing the public with definitive CD transfers of rare and beautiful material at a fraction of the cost of the original source discs. His own collection of historical recordings has been used as source material for the Great Recordings from the Met series.
Mr. Miller is now in his 47th year as a professional church musician, and is currently Director of Music and Organist at Red Clay Creek Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, Delaware.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A fight inside Club Eclipse escalated into a shooting. The incident has the attention of Albany's Downtown Manager and Downtown Business Owners who've been trying to change the perception that downtown is dangerous.
They're not going to stand for this type of activity downtown. Police believe it is an isolated incident. Still downtown businesses owners are asking code enforcement to step up and get rid of downtown's blacked out windows, that could be hiding dangerous behavior.
Business owners were making calls to the Mayor, Police, and Code Enforcement. They say police are riding the streets downtown, they've added camera to make people feel safe, now they need to get rid of blacked out windows, to get rid of activity that shouldn't be going on.
The shooting outside Club Eclipse in downtown Albany early Sunday morning has the attention of Albany's Downtown Manager Aaron Blair, who's been attracting new business and trying to turn around the perception that downtown isn't safe.
"It's just not something that's going to be acceptable as we move forward," Blair said.
Business owners agree. They say they feel for the man who was attacked and understand people want clubs downtown, but they say violence there can't be tolerated. They say it starts with the business owners and landlords. "If you own a building downtown, could you please come down here and clean up your building and help us out because we're trying to do our part, and I'm upset about it," said B. J. Fletcher of Cafe 230 and the General Store.
Business owners also want Code Enforcement to enforce the city ordinance that makes it illegal for any business to black out their windows. "Anytime you've got to cover up your windows, something is going on in there that shouldn't be going on," said Fletcher.
They want police to be able to see inside. Club Eclipse's windows are blacked out, along with several other businesses. Those we talked to downtown today say one incident isn't going to stop them.
"We walked the streets this morning and felt safe, we think is was just like the police said-- an incident that just happened." said Rev. Darvi Williams, Downtown Patron.
"It's something that we all just have to work through it and I think everything will be okay once we talk about things," said Downtown Patron Cynthia McClendon.
They're encouraged by what they've seen in the way of new businesses. Downtown Manager Aaron Blair says there will always be naysayers, but he says this incident will just make those who love downtown Albany fight that much hard for its success.
Some asked why 17 and 19 year olds were allowed inside the club that is clearly marked 'over 21.'
Code enforcement and Albany police have been asked to investigate. Looking at the crime statistics for downtown, in January the Central District which downtown Albany falls under had 8 robberies, 11 aggravated assaults, and 108 property crimes, although a major of those incidents fell outside the downtown area.

In 2013, realization of the growing inequality and narrowing opportunity that is America almost crowded out the Kardashians, Honey Boo-Boo and Duck Dynasty from the national "conversation."
Eminences sought to explain. Among them was Larry Summers, who wrote that stagnation might be the "new normal." That takes some brass, as his former boss Bill Clinton would say, considering that Summers and his mentor, Bob Rubin, did so much to create this mess.
Tyler Cowen, the libertarian economist It Guy of the moment, writes in his book Average is Over and in a Time magazine essay that the middle class is pretty much toast. A radical hollowing out will leave some at the top and most in the bottom (which doesn't mean they can't be happy).
With some worthy exceptions (Brad DeLong, Paul Krugman, et al), our thinkers tell us we are powerless against the forces that have been reshaping America.
This is nonsense.

Enid News and Eagle
"Bar Rescue," a hit show on Spike TV about saving bars that are about to go under, tells viewers at the top of each show the troubled bar's owners have "agreed to pull back the doors and bust open the books" as a bar expert attempts to rescue them.
It's also advice the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA) may be well-advised to heed after it came under heavy criticism at Tuesday's first of three scheduled legislative public hearings in Oklahoma City.
The hearings, requested by Rep. Bobby Cleveland (R-Slaughte-rville) and held by the Oklahoma House Administrative Rules Committee, heard from several witnesses who expressed concern over OSSAA's administrative process that seems often to be cloaked in secrecy, and at the very least, applies OSSAA's rules in a capricious manner, especially when it comes to appeals, meting out punishment and accounting for its finances. Not a good trifecta.
Cleveland, who called for the hearings and a study after receiving complaints from constituents was blunt in his reasons for asking for the hearing.
"Because the OSSAA makes decisions that affect so many lives and derives money that is public in nature, there must be accountability and transparency," he said, according to The Associated Press. "It is our intention to answer serious questions that have arisen."
It is no secret OSSAA, which oversees high school athletics, has been wildly inconsistent in dealing with sticky issues such as what the penalties should be regarding improper transfers or paperwork mess ups. Many may recall the 2011 football playoff dustup that happened when first OSSAA ruled Guthrie had to forfeit eight games due to an ineligible player, then changed its mind, allowing Guthrie — which would go on to win the Class 5A title — to enter the playoffs, but slapped head coach Rafe Watkins with a suspension.
This past baseball season, OSSAA initially ruled Wright City could not participate in the Class A baseball playoffs due to an ineligible player, was taken to court, and then after the state supreme court ruled OSSAA had full authority, backtracked and overruled itself in a near-comedic manner.
These are not good things when as an organization you have totalitarian control over high school athletics. OSSAA has an annual operating budget of $5.4 million, and generated more than $4.5 million last year from high school playoff gate receipts alone, something that has also become a sore subject.
Duncan High School football coach, Kim Longest, who also is the president of the Oklahoma Football Coaches Association, had harsh words for OSSAA's formula for confiscating playoff gate receipts saying OSSAA has been unwilling to negotiate how revenue is divided.
"You are not going to make any money if you go to the playoffs anymore in football," he told the committee.
OSSAA executive director Ed Sheakley, who strangely wasn't invited to speak Tuesday, said it was true OSSAA is keeping more of the money, but said the group has been "able to increase reimbursement in all other activities."
An omnipotent organization like OSSAA is bound to create hard feelings and not everyone is going to agree when decisions are rendered, however, it appears OSSAA needs to seriously reconsider some of its heavy-handed approach.
It is indeed time for OSSAA to "pull back the doors and bust open the books." That is, if they wish to restore trust and promote an air of cooperation rather than its current atmosphere of suspicion.

Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg's Impersonator Steps Out In SoHo
Posted on Wed Oct 13, 2010 03:20 PM PDT
Is it just me or is actor Jesse Eisenberg more attractive than his Social Network co-stars, Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield? Sorry about it!
The guy who plays Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse) in David Fincher's sure to be award-winning film took a stroll in SoHo this afternoon while chatting on his cell. At least he was out and about in the real world as opposed to updating his Facebook status!
Think Eisenberg will snag an Oscar nod for his brilliant work in The Social Network? He deserves it!

UNT student receives NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
Subscribe Unsubscribe
From a UNT News Service press release
Afshan Kamrudin
Afshan Kamrudin, a senior psychology major, has a received a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship to prepare for a career as a researcher in behavioral health.
The Graduate Research Fellowships are given to students who plan to earn research-focused master's and doctoral degrees in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.
Each student receives a three-year stipend of $30,000, plus $10,500 each year as a cost of education allowance. The students may also receive supplements for travel and computing.
More than 900 students at U.S. colleges and universities are awarded the fellowships each year. Kamrudin, the daughter of Ahmad and Ashraf Kamrudin of Carrollton and a 2005 graduate of Carrollton's Creekview High School, is among 31 students from Texas colleges and universities who received a fellowship this year.
Kamrudin is a student in UNT's Honors College, majoring in psychology and minoring in international studies. She plans to use her fellowship to earn master's and doctoral degrees in behavioral sciences.
"Afshan is an extraordinarily talented young woman whose dedication to research has been evident throughout her undergraduate career. We are very proud that she has been selected for this prestigious award," says Gloria Cox, dean of the Honors College.
While at UNT, Kamrudin has been a student in the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program, a federally funded program that prepares undergraduate students who are the first in their families to attend college or members of racial minority groups to pursue doctoral study. McNair Scholars conduct research with UNT faculty members, and often present their research findings at professional conferences. They also undergo intense preparation for graduate school.
Diana Elrod, McNair Program director, calls Kamrudin "an excellent representative of the UNT McNair program."
"She has a strong desire to have her questions answered and will not rest until she has learned all that is necessary to make a difference in this world. I am convinced her contributions to society will be significant and valuable," she says.
Kamrudin and her McNair mentor, Mark Vosvick, director of UNT's Center for Psychosocial Health, have researched people living with HIV and their quality of life. Although she has always been interested in public health, Kamrudin says conducting research in the center made her more aware of the complexity of the disease, "especially in terms of how psychologists help people already living with HIV or AIDS."
"I am really interested in the effects of HIV and took the opportunity to immerse myself into understanding the psychosocial issues of HIV and AIDS," she says. "Many public health issues center around HIV and AIDS in terms of epidemiology and prevalence, but don't focus on the behavioral aspects as much."
Her research isn't limited to this area, however. Kamrudin will spend three months in Geneva, Switzerland, just after she graduates from UNT to study the World Health Organization's Tobacco Free Initiative. Established in 1998, the initiative focuses international attention, resources and action on disease and deaths caused by tobacco.
Kamrudin received a Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research and Training grant from the Fogarty International Center of the National Institutes of Health to go to Geneva, in a program sponsored by Pennsylvania State University. She was one of only nine undergraduate students selected for the program, which is targeted to students interested in pursuing graduate studies in public health or behavioral health. Kamrudin will receive transportation expenses to and from Geneva and living expenses for three months, plus a stipend of $800 each month.
She also participated in a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates program sponsored by the UNT Department of Anthropology. The summer program provides students with five weeks of intensive instruction in research methodology, theory, data collection and interpretation, critical thinking and writing and other research skills, followed by five weeks of work on an individual research project with a faculty mentor. Kamrudin used a social cultural approach to researching perceptions of stigma among HIV positive women.
In addition, Kamrudin studied the barriers to health care among the immigrant Vietnamese population seeking to use the John Peter Smith Health Network in Fort Worth for her Honors College thesis. She worked with Susan Brown Eve, associate dean of the Honors College.
She has presented her research at the annual meeting of the Society of Behavioral Medicine.
At UNT, Kamrudin has been a tutor for the Student Support Services-Discovery program , teaching students from low-income or minority backgrounds who are the first in their families to attend college, and a supplemental instructor for the UNT Learning Center, helping students who are enrolled in remedial math classes. She is a member of Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society for overall academic excellence and Psi Chi Psychology Honor Society, and recently received a $2,000 Phi Kappa Phi Award of Excellence for her first year of graduate school.
Kamrudin also serves on the Department of Psychology undergraduate faculty-student committee and is involved with the Honors College Honors Council as chair of academic affairs.

The Union-Recorder
"When I want you in my arms, When I want you with all your charms, Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream..."
Well, it's another slow time in terms of broadsides concerning upcoming events. The problem is — there just isn't much coming up.
But let me fill in a few columns of newsprint.
My own merry band of community thespians, the Milledgeville Players, will put on the annual murder mystery dinner (MMD) pretty darn soon. We are still making some final arrangements, so I am hesitant on divulging too many details at this point.
But this should be taking place in late February or possibly early March.
My next column will definitely have some details regarding this always entertaining evening of food, drama and murder, including dates, locations, and MMD themes. So stay tuned.
One of the next events that I do have confirmation on comes courtesy of the folks at Allied Arts. On Friday, Jan. 24, Caroline Aiken is scheduled to perform at Allen's Market.
Caroline Aiken is one of those people who many have never heard of. But if you are "into music," her name rings several bells.
This young lady has performed and recorded with Bonnie Raitt and the Indigo Girls. She has released several discs of her own music and has been a guest performer in many varied venues.
In other words, she has some considerable chops.
I'll give more information in upcoming columns, but Allen's Market has limited seating so you may want to think about getting your tickets early. They are $10 each and can be purchased at Allied Arts headquarters at the Marlor House on North Wayne Street. Give a call to 478-452-3950 for more information or to make sure someone will be there to take your ticket order.
Since I still have some space to go, let me remind all of you out there that this column depends on getting information about upcoming theatrical and musical events. Well, I guess it doesn't "depend" on it. I can always make stuff up. But it's better if I can actually report on "real" happenings rather than just my own peanut butter inspired dreams.
So please let me know if you are part of a play, concert, recital, gallery opening, pedestrian crossing, etc. Or if you are involved in any of the aforementioned activities. Or if you know about these types of events.
I particularly would LOVE to hear from local schools, which I know are often sponsoring plays and concerts.
I get great information from Allied Arts, the Steinway Concert folks at GMC, some aspects of Georgia College, Milledgeville Singers Guild, and a few others. But many other performing arts entities around ye olde Capitol town never give me a clue about what's going on.
So if you are involved in some of these "other" organizations — particularly school type entities - please let me know what you are up to regarding the performing arts. Do not assume that someone else (like the ubiquitous "someone in charge") has sent me the information. I am dependent on the kindness of strangers (in so many ways!).
Oh! And on the behalf of the Milledgeville Players, thank you all for a great 2013. From our MMD of "Bordello of Blood" through the major summer musical "Kiss Me Kate" and finishing with incredible attendance for "Smoke on the Mountain" the citizens of central Georgia provided this little community theatre group with some great patronage. Many thanks.
Our opening lyrics were, of course, from the classic tune "All I Have to Do Is Dream" by the Everly Brothers.
Phil Everly, the younger of the two brothers, passed away Friday. He is survived by his older brother, Don.
I cannot begin to explain the emotions I felt when reading of the passing of Phil Everly. The Everly Brothers were one of the most important musical acts ever in the history of rock and roll. They were among the original inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 1986, along with Chuck Berry, Sam Cooke, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and a few others.
Their two- part vocal harmonies influenced dozens of artists who subsequently went on to influence hundreds more. Without the Everly Brothers, there would never have been the same versions we came to know as the Beatles, the Hollies, the Searchers, the Byrds, Simon and Garfunkel, Buffalo Springfield, the Turtles, and so many more. Their harmonies were built around what was pioneered by Phil and Don.
If you want to know what I'm talking about, just take a listen to "Cathy's Clown" by the Everly Brothers and then listen to the Beatles' "Please Please Me." You'll hear what I mean.
Phil and Don had typical brotherly bickering over the years, often separating for as long as a decade. But they would always come back together at some point, and deliver that incredible music.
They had so many hits including "Bye Bye Love." "Wake up Little Susie," "Bird Dog," "When Will I Be Loved," and "Crying in the Rain." But there is just something in those incredible vocal harmonies in "All I Have to Do Is Dream" that just strikes gold with me.
"I need you so, that I could die. I love you so and that is why, Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream — dream, dream, dream."
Catch you on the flip side.

The Port Arthur News
With a few words in Latin, Pope Benedict VXI did what no pope has done in more than half a millennium, stunning the world by announcing his resignation Monday and leaving the already troubled Catholic Church to replace the leader for its 1 billion followers by Easter.
Closer to home, Bishop Curtis Guillory of the Diocese of Beaumont issued a statement regarding the monumental announcement.
"Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, is a scholar and our pastor. His leadership these eight years was characterized by his love of the Catholic faith and being united with God in his ministry to the Catholic faithful worldwide," Guillory said in a prepared statement. "He has always been a humble man who cares deeply for the Catholic Church. His ministry was not driven by self-interest but by his love of God. It was after much prayer and reflection that Pope Benedict came to the conclusion that he did not have the stamina to continue to care for the Church as he should and wanted to make sure the Church had someone in leadership who could do that. In his own statement, Pope Benedict said that he knows that strength of mind and body are necessary to proclaim the Gospel as he should and that his strength of body is diminishing.
The Pope's announcement came just one day after Guillory marked the silver anniversary of his ordination as bishop.
Guillory met the Pope last March while he was in Rome for the ad limina visit, he said.
"When I met with Pope Benedict in the morning, he seemed strong, but in the afternoon meeting you could see he was frail," he said.
The Pope's announcement came as a shock even to those closest to him, according to the Associated Press.
"Without doubt this is a historic moment," said Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, a protege and former theology student of Benedict's who is considered a papal contender. "Right now, 1.2 billion Catholics the world over are holding their breath."
The move allows for a fast-track conclave to elect a new pope, since the traditional nine days of mourning that would follow a pope's death doesn't have to be observed. It also gives the 85-year-old Benedict great sway over the choice of his successor. Though he will not himself vote, he has hand-picked the bulk of the College of Cardinals — the princes of the church who will elect his successor — to guarantee his conservative legacy and ensure an orthodox future for the church.

BURLINGTON — A comebacker to the mound and potential inning-ending double play turned into a nightmare for the Lowell Spinners as the throw got past the catcher allowing the winning run to score as the Vermont Lake Monsters stole a 3-2 walk-off win from the Spinners last night at Centennial Field.
The loss extended a streak of alternating wins and losses the Spinners have been on since July 11.
The Lake Monsters left a pair on in both the second and third innings and the Spinners (22-18) took advantage in the fourth inning, taking a 2-0 lead. Danny Bethea and Aaron King led off with back-to-back singles, with Cleuluis Rondon moving both men into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. With Colorado at the plate, a wild pitch brought in Bethea and King scored on a sacrifice fly from Colorado to give the Spinners the early lead.
Vermont (22-20) cut the lead in half in the bottom half of the inning.
After the Spinners were h.eld off the board in the top half of the ninth, the lake Monsters grabbed the win on the sloppy play.
Offensively, the Spinners were led by King and Rondon who each had two hits. King snapped a 0-for-18 streak with his two hits, while Bethea picked up a hit in his fourth straight game since joining the team.
Corey Littrell started for the Spinners and went a season-high 2.2 innings, allowing just one hit and two walks, striking out four.

Having moved regularly after graduating college -- and I'm talking on average about every 2 years for the past 12 years -- I have dealt with changing or closing bank accounts quite often. Over this time, there are certain things that I have learned to do regarding our various bank accounts that makes it easier and more organized when we have to switch or close them. While this process is never a fun one for us, developing and abiding by the following rules has certainly made it a simpler thing to do and has kept us from making possibly costly mistakes in the process.
Start Early
I like to get rolling on the process of changing or closing bank accounts well in advance to when I will actually be moving or need them "officially" closed. I do this so that I don't have to rush the process and since different banks can move at different speeds in making account adjustments. It also gives me time to get a new account or accounts open in advance to closing my old ones if necessary. This way I can order new checks, transfer money between accounts, get bill pay or money movement systems set up, and make similar moves. This also allows me some extra time for the next step.
Check on Checks
Depending upon what checks are outstanding, it could be weeks or longer before I'm actually able to completely close out a checking account. I don't want to zero out my balance only to realize after the fact that the account had an outstanding check that bounced and came back to haunt me in the form of an overdraft fee or worse. Therefore, I give myself time to make sure all checks have cleared, and I even wait a little longer if I'm able to do so in an effort to make sure that there are no other surprises coming before I close the account.
Remember to Change Information on Other Accounts
The sort of "surprise" to which I'm referring once came to my wife by way of an old checking account to which she had linked her toll road charge account. After moving, she had forgotten to update the information since it was a rare charge to top up her toll balance (usually once a year since we don't use the toll road that often). When the charge hit a debit card that was linked to an inactive account, we received a bill from the bank. Fortunately, we were in good standing with the bank in our new location and they ended up waiving the fee.
However, this was an important lesson in ensuring that whether by way of debit cards, automated bill pay, or through similar account links that we needed to ensure we had everything cleared and updated before closing out an old account.
Leave a Temporary Balance
This brings me to my last point on changing or closing bank accounts. I tend to leave a balance in those accounts for up to a month after moving the majority of the balance into a new account. This helps me avoid any unforeseen issues like that encountered by my wife and the toll road account situation. If something gets billed unexpectedly or a check I'd forgotten about suddenly clears, I have enough in the account to cover the balance of the transaction before I close it out for good. However, I never continue to spend from this account unless I'm going to keep it open, since that would largely negate the purpose of leaving cash in it to avoid unforeseen issues.

A North Laurel man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after being found guilty of the burning death of his girlfriend in North Laurel.
According to The Laurel Leader, Richard Allen Rodola, 50, received the maximum sentence and will not be eligible for parole until he has served half of his sentence.
Police and prosecutors said before lighting her on fire in the woods by Route 1 in North Laurel in the fall of 2010.
Rodola testified he and Myers, who lived together in the woods, were intoxicated and arguing, and the fire was an accident.
A jury spent 22 hours deliberating before reaching the guilty verdict for second-degree murder and first-degree assault in the death of Myers, according to the Howard County Times.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The March unemployment rate in Tennessee has dipped just below 8 percent.
Karla Davis, commissioner of Labor & Workforce Development, said Thursday the rate fell a tenth of a point to 7.9 percent. It was the eighth straight month of decline, and the rate is at its lowest level since November 2008.
The national figure for March was 8.2 percent, down 0.1 percentage points from February.
Davis said the state lost jobs in March, but the number of unemployed declined at a faster rate.

As I mentioned Thursday in my preview of Immokalee's Class 5A semifinal, this has been a historic year for football in Collier County. We've had three regional champs, meaning three teams have played in the state semifinals.
Of those three games, however, the one we're about to discuss is the only one played within the borders of Collier County.
Not only is Naples High's game against Miami Central the only semifinal to be played in our neck of the woods, but it's the first state semifinal to be played in Southwest Florida in nine years. It worked out pretty well for the home team back then - Naples stomped Miami-Edison 41-0 to move on to the Class 5A title game.
I told you Thursday that I expect Immokalee to win by a razor-thin margin. Can the Golden Eagles join the Indians next weekend at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando? Keep reading to find out...
Class 6A semifinals
MIAMI CENTRAL (10-2) at NAPLES (12-0)
Miami Central (10-2): The Rockets, despite their silly nickname, are about as good as it gets in Florida, maybe the country. Central is 37-4 the last three seasons with a 6A state championship in 2010 and a state runner-up finish last year. Their only losses are to nation power Camden County (Ga.) in 2010, to Seffner-Armwood in last year's 6A title game, and to Loganville (Ga.)-Grayson and the No. 1 team in the nation Manatee this year. And Central returns 15 starters from last year's state runner-up team. (Though, technically the Rockets forfeited their wins last year because of the use of an ineligible player) The Rockets have three players committed to Division I colleges on offense. On defense Central boasts four D-I players and seven more with interest. The biggest names are running backs Joseph Yerby (committed to Florida State) and Dalvin Cook (Clemson), both of whom have rushed for more than 1,200 yards this season. The Rockets have outscored opponents 131-16 this postseason.
Naples (12-0): The Golden Eagles are back in the state semifinals for the first time since they won a state title in 2007. I see a lot of similarities between this team and the '07 squad - no superstars but great chemistry, hard-hitting defense, powerful rushing attack. Heck, those three attributes could describe any Bill Kramer team. This year's Naples team has even died their hair gold just like the players did back in 2007. I picked Naples to win last week against Daytona Beach-Mainland, but I didn't imagine they would roll over the Buccaneers like they did. The Eagles were up 20-0 before Mainland could respond. Naples has a stupid good offense this season and is just 11 points away from breaking the team's single-season record. In fact, Naples has outscored its opponents 604-153, or an average per game score of 50.3-12.8.
For Miami Central to win: The Rockets need their talent-rich defense to keep doing what it's doing. Central has given up just 61 points the last six games and just 16 points in three postseason games. Archbishop McCarthy, Northwestern and Palm Bay all averaged more than 24 points a game and were held to a touchdown or less the past three weeks. But Central hasn't faced an offense like Naples', which churns out 50 points a game. Central coach Telly Lockette was impressed with the Golden Eagles when I interviewed him for the preview story. He said the Rockets have had success against the option this season, but they haven't seen anything like what Naples runs. Central has four defenders committed to Division I schools, but two are defensive backs (which is just fine with Naples, which won't pass much) and two are linebackers. The Rockets also have a pair of huge defensive linemen in a 6-3, 245-pounder and a 6-4, 250-pounder.
Click here for Central's schedule, stats and more on the Miami Herald website
For Naples to win: The defense, which already is having a phenomenal year, will have to play its best game of the season. As stated above, the Rockets have two 1,200-yard backs, but they also have a 1,200-yard passer, so Central will stress Naples' defense all over the field. Though even if the defense stumbles, the Golden Eagles are more than capable of winning a shootout. Central's defense is fast and athletic, so running the ball might be a chore. However, in what could be his last game, look for Naples High senior running back Manny Morgan to do all he can to keep his high school career going.
My pick: I like to go with the team that's hot, and Naples has won 12 in a row. But (sorry, Naples fans, I'm sure you didn't want to read a "but") Central just might be too much. The Golden Eagles probably are a better team with a better system, but sometimes individual talent wins out ... Miami Central 29, Naples 28

The Nickname Rockets has to do with NASA. Miami Central came around during the space race. Nasa gave the school its Rocket Mascot.

Submitted by GUHSD
The Grossmont Union High School District (GUHSD) has been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its Fiscal Year 2010-11 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. Approximately 500 municipalities in the state of California submitted CAFRs, and about 300 received an award. Of all the school districts in the state of California, Grossmont is the only district to have received this distinction.
The Grossmont District's report was judged by an impartial panel that determined it met the high standards of their program, including a constructive spirit of full disclosure to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential uses and user groups to read the CAFR.
The Certificate of Achievement was presented to Scott Patterson, Deputy Superintendent of Business Services, at the June 14 Governing Board meeting by Mr. Dale Nielsen of the Government Finance Officer's Association.

bad batch?
Have been ordering for a while, but they were mouldy within two days this week - white fuzz all over half of the pack - could be the fridge temperature so maybe I will order another to be sure! Always been lucky in the past with these however so would recommend.

They arrived Friday, are supposed to be good through to Monday, but it's Sunday breakfast now and some are completely white :-(. They are good when they are good but have been hit or miss lately.

Here's another post on the importance of "outcomes" research in gaining acceptance for a new drug. It quotes results from a new Camelot Management Consultants study -- where 60% of US and European companies agree outcomes research to show the effectiveness of a new drug is important in gaining acceptance --- yet disturbingly 30% say they don't plan to change the way the go about launching their products.
Camelot says new launches will have to have the following features:
- Aim at expanding the market not just take share
- Re-define therapy guidelines
- Develop smarter pre-launch activities, with more investment in early phases
- Have stakeholders awaiting product and its differentiating features at launch
- Win recognition for creating multi-shareholder value (i.e. patients, prescribers, payers)
- Adapt to changes in the environment during and after the launch

Module 1 - Global Retrieval
Our primary goal in this module is to investigate the challenges and potentials of a semantically integrated public sector information locator service. Our schema integration approach involves the development of a uniform interface - mediated schema - that captures the core concepts of a PSI catalogue. Our data/instance integration approach involves the application of Information Retrieval and other metrics for correlating and integrating the contents of the catalogues.
Main Goals
|Mediated Schema
|Catalogue Integration
|Federated Searching
Work Completed
Part 1: We harvested 5 catalogues of PSI holders around the world. These include the US Raw and Tool catalogues of data.gov, the CKAN dump of data.gov.uk, the OPSI Information Asset Registers, and Australia's online portal to 69 public sector datasets. These include over 9,000 records of PSI.
Browse the catalogues individually using the embedded Linked Data browser: Records Finder
Part 2: A simple cross-catalogue search engine and records correlator. This is a first step towards establishing links between records of the same or different catalogues. For this instalment we explore correlations at the tag/keyword level only. Our methodology includes a full employment of the Vector Space Model, as originally conceived for the SMART retrieval system. We further extend the interpretation of tags via their synonyms and stems using the Wordnet electronic lexicon. Queries are also adjusted with the same minimum expansion.
Explore correlations and search for records using the experimental HTML interface: Catalogues Correlator
Part 3: A more advanced retrieval engine. In this instalment we are working on a variant of the Binary Independence Model and Okapi BM25. The engine will enable automatic and iterative query expansion using a hybrid global and local blind feedback technique. Work in progress...
