Sign announcing Kent Harris and Dwayne Cochran's event in Jonesborough (Gary B. Gray/Johnson City Press)
Former Unicoi County Sheriff Kent Harris and Jonesborough businessman Dwayne Cochran are hosting a "No Invitation Required. Everybody Welcome" political meet-and-greet that they say is all-inclusive, unlike Washington County Mayor Dan Eldridge's July 25 invitation-only Republican affair.
Harris, who is challenging Jonesborough Mayor Kelly Wolfe for Tennessee's District 3 Republican Executive Committee seat, singled out Wolfe, who drew up the guest list for the event on Eldridge's farm at which U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, Gov. Bill Halsam and Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey were guests.
Republican incumbents state Rep. Matthew Hill, 7th, and Rep Micah Van Huss, 6th, did not make it onto that list. Hill's challenger, former Johnson City Commissioner Phil Carriger, and Van Huss' opponent, Johnson City Vice Mayor Clayton Stout did attend. The latter were captured in a group shot wedged between Haslam and Eldridge.
"The farm belongs to Dan Eldridge, and he has the right to invite who he wants on it," Harris said Thursday. "I didn't think it was right to not to include Mr. Hill and Mr. Van Huss. Everyone is invited to our event, including Mr. Eldridge and Mr. Wolfe.
"We actually talked about having this before Mr. Eldridge decided to hold his event, but we felt a lot of people were left out that could have had an opportunity to meet all the candidates. Both Republican and independent candidates are welcome. And though they probably won't be given a long time, any candidate who wants to say a few words can do so."
Cochran, who owns a storage rental business, said neither he nor Harris have talked to Eldridge or Wolfe about the event.
"Politically, it's not right," Cochran said about some Republicans being left off Eldridge's guest list. "I was disappointed. When you host something like that, why do you want to make that a closed-door deal? It's like he wants to do everything his way or no way.
"I know him and Kelly Wolfe were working together. If I was doing (Eldridge's) job, I would not stick my head out saying 'I'm for Carriger and Stout.' He's trying to get them on his shirttail and drag them through."
Eldridge declined comment on Thursday.
Any and all candidates from Washington, Unicoi and Carter counties involved in the Aug. 7 state primary and county general election or federal, state and municipal elections scheduled for Nov. 4 can attend the event. It will be held from 4-7 p.m. Saturday on property owned by the Cochran family on Main Street in Jonesborough.
The event will be marked by a large sign that reads: "No Invitation Required. Everybody Welcome."
Music will be provided by Carter Oats, a well-known local bluegrass group from Carter County. An Elvis impersonator will be on hand and hot dogs, chips and drinks will be provided.
"I love Elvis as much as the next guy," Wolfe said. "I hope they have a great event."
Harris said flyers are being distributed to advertise the event. For more information, call 220-0577.

At worst, we had 8,000 this past year. Even as awful as we were, we still averaged 15,000 a game, and with Coach McGee in town we'll be back up to 20,000 plus, especially when SEC teams come to town. There were lots of people at UAB vs. Mississippi State this past season.
At this rate, with this Board of Trustees, UAB will never have it's own stadium. So right now I'm all for anything you can do for Legion Field, even knocking it down and starting over.
Haha you're not going to have to worry about the UAB on-campus stadium for a long, long time. So please for the love of God keep repairing Legion Field. We (UAB) are going to be there for a few more years, at least.
The NCAA should look into every program. Everyone cheats, and most get away with it. But the NCAA is so inept they have to wait for Yahoo sports to do the investigation for them and hand their case to them. So John Cooper should get in touch with Yahoo instead.
If fans show up for games at Legion Field, it supports the argument that UAB already has a stadium that fans will go to if they really want to watch UAB football. Result: no new on-campus stadium. If fans do not show up at Legion Field, it supports the argument that UAB does not have enough fan support to justify building an on-campus stadium. Different actions, same negative outcome. It's a Catch-22, and the Board wouldn't have it any other way.
Go Blazers. GIVE US OUR STADIUM!!!
That was a great game. I was there. Packed, but not a sell out, and yeah I'm pissed about that too. Pretty pathetic, but no amount of complaining is going to get other people off their lazy asses. If so, we wouldn't have any attendance problems.
No complaints or excuses from me about the outcome of the game. We lost because we were playing a better team. Maybe Memphis will try even harder to lose next time, and we can steal it from them. Or maybe we'll keep improving and end up better than they are by the time we play them in Memphis.
GIVE US OUR STADIUM!!! Go Blazers.
We call all the time. You're listening to the wrong station.
I'm loving this guy more and more. GO BLAZERS!!!
(give us our stadium.)
I've heard he's pretty incredible. Go Blazers.
I love this play, love Keith, I even played there about 5 times when it was in Vestavia. What keeps me from showing up? Besides not having ANY money, not even $12, I have never heard of any of these guys he books.
I love the concept of just going out to a listening room and experiencing someone brand new, but in practice it never materializes for me. It definitely would every now and then with a little discretionary in come, but still not enough to affect his bottom line that much... Back when people from Reg's Coffeehouse would come through - Garrison Starr, Griffin House, Clare Burson, etc., I was there in a heartbeat. I guess there's no station in the area right now for them to cooperate with, and that's probably a major obstacle.
Ouch. It's a good thing no one asked you.
It's inherently a popularity contest, so the results are going to be wacky. And it's also not scientific, so only the people that want to respond, and remember to do so, are reflected in the results. I don't think the poll is pretending to be anything else, except for the misleading title.
Reg comment was pretty stupid - he's awesome. Plus name me your favorite "local" DJ, and I'll show you they're based in NY or LA and send their voice spots to the "local" stations over an FTP server. The magic of radio, my friend.
You're SURE it's not Mugshots? For serious?
Woohoo!!! Go Blazers.
Why don't you send this in an email instead of getting off-topic in a comment section on an article?
I bet this guy hates UAB Football too.
Now just give UAB our stadium and all with be right with the world! GO BLAZERS!!!
Damn that kid was good. Go Blazers!
This is awesome. Glass recycling is hard to come by, mainly because of cost, but it's always welcome when someone can provide a way to make it available, especially a pickup service.

3D printing has received a lot of attention recently, with the technology now also being applied in medicine. In a recent procedure, a man had 75 percent of his skull replaced by a 3D-printed implant.
Chief of Neurosurgery at Highland Hospital, Dr. Jason Huang says 3D-printed implants have the potential to more accurately reconstruct a patient's face or skull, greatly aiding their psychological recovery.
"I think this kind of technology can be very helpful," he says. "For us it has it has a better cosmetic effect in repairing a skull defect."
Dr. Huang says he can see this technology being useful in several different applications, including facial reconstruction and spinal trauma.
The company that created the implant, Oxford Performance Materials, claims there are around 500 people each month in the United States who could benefit from the technology.
The 3D implants can now be used to replace damaged bone after being given FDA approval late last month and can be produced within two weeks of the 3D scan.
The implant is made from a special thermo-plastic that has tiny surface details that encourage the growth of cells and bone.

Mira: Hi, I'm Mira. You might remember me by my previous incarnation, Café Mira, which Mike Johnson opened in this very same location way back in 1996. I was the first restaurant he ever owned, I'm quite proud to tell you, and my name translates in Spanish to "look," as in "Look at that!"
Roxane: Ah, oui? Well, I am Roxane, in honor of Cyrano de Bergerac's girlfriend tres sexy! I am what you call zee zut, how do you say... zee "nouvelle fille of zee block?" Pardonne, we little French cafés possess no fingaires to make zee air quotes.

"I always loved the space for fine dining," Johnson says of the site he reacquired after short-lived Restaurant August fizzled there. "But it was too hard to make money doing fine dining, because the space was too big." A downtown-Clayton-lovin' fool (he owns tapas joint BARcelona on Central Avenue), Johnson had already encountered such a dilemma across the street at his erstwhile Figaro (now Barrister's), where, he claims, "We were always busy but still could never make it work."
His solution: Split the storefront, give each side a separate name, and voilà! An intimate high-end operation (Mira), cozied up alongside a casual-fare bistro (Roxane). The sidewalk seating is a contiguous one-and-the-same, while inside the spaces are connected by a short hallway and share restrooms and a kitchen. Though each establishment gets its own menu, a few dishes overlap, and customers may order freely off either list regardless of where they've come to eat.
Mira: My menu's got nine main courses and nine appetizers. You can't get a full-size entrée at Roxane just a lot of cutesy small plates, nothing much bigger than salads and sandwiches. Who'd ever consider "European-style" pizzas and "specialties" like spinach-artichoke dip or French fries I'm sorry, frites a meal? I am quite fluent in air-quoting.
Roxane: Why do zee French women not get fat? Because zee French women understand portion control, zee joie de grazing!
After high school in St. Louis and culinary school in New England, Johnson found employment at Emeril Lagasse's first restaurant in New Orleans, then moved on to restaurants in California wine country. He calls Mira's cuisine, which resurrects a number of dishes from the old Café Mira menu, "contemporary global," and says he likes to work with Asian ingredients and techniques, which he doesn't get much of a chance to do at his other ventures, the Cajun-Creole-Cuban Boogaloo in Maplewood, the Greek tapas joint Momos in University City and the dessert café Cyrano's in Webster Groves.
Mira ends up with a pleasant-to-read bill of fare that creeps toward but never crosses the line into self-conscious fusion. Entrées mostly stick to the straightforward protein/starch/vegetable structure, which permits the flavors and textures to do the talking: the barely seared softness of sesame tuna tataki singed with jalapeños, then given a soft landing on a bed of pineapple confit; a simple salad of baby greens given a boost with spiced peanuts, dried cherries and fried wonton strips; a pork tenderloin marinated in heady ouzo, anchored by a helping of saffron-feta risotto and a ladling of pomegranate-infused molasses. (The vegetarian option, a napoleon of polenta, grilled eggplant, squash and poached tomatoes, is equally clever.)
Maryland crab cakes are an appetizer that rarely surprises. But at Mira they're delightfully well rendered all meat, no breadcrumbs and a minimum of mayo. Even better, they've got inspired playmates on the plate: a pile of delicious roasted beets, an ample watercress garnish and an aromatic mango aioli. The same can be said for a cedar-planked salmon fillet beneath a sweet, sweet onslaught of fennel-potato purée, applewood-smoked bacon and apple beurre blanc. How refreshing to discover a salmon preparation that eschews austerity. Asparagus and goat cheese, hugged by a crisp fried spring roll casing, makes for a luscious appetizer.
Roxane: Excusez-moi? What am I, chopped liver?
Roxane serves three kinds of pâté daily (usually truffle, Champagne and port), all of them house-made and brought forth in enormous quantity on a platter containing lavosh, fruit and grilled baguette slices. Each day also brings changing varieties of mussels, quiche, pasta and artisanal cheeses. The menu is thoroughly Francophilic, so much so that those daily specials are listed on a large chalkboard (as the Parisian bistros do) that hangs above a wall of straight-backed booth seating. Fondue for two is available as a savory cheese course or a chocolaty dessert. Mira's seared tuna is reincarnated here at the center of a salade niçoise whose classic contents are deconstructed into individual piles around the circumference: snappy haricots verts, firm chopped tomatoes, sliced hardboiled egg and a spoonful of zesty tapenade that stands in for the standard black olives.

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/333,644, filed on Jun. 15, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,461,658, issued Oct. 8, 2002.
This invention relates to the use of 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid as a means of improving the sweetness delivery profile of the sweetener sucralose.
Sweeteners are known to impart a number of characteristics to food including, without limitation, odor, flavor, mouthfeel, and aftertaste. These properties, particularly flavor and aftertaste, are well known to vary over the time of tasting, such that each temporal profile is sweetener-specific (Tunaley, A., "Perceptual Characteristics of Sweeteners", Progress in Sweeteners, T. H. Grenby, Ed. Elsevier Applied Science, 1989)).
"Tastands" are eatable compounds that reduce or eliminate undesirable tastes in other eatables, and do so at concentrations below those concentrations at which their own tastes are perceptible. Known tastands, including 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, have been claimed to reduce or eliminate undesirable aftertastes, particularly bitter and/or metallic aftertastes, in eatables containing high-intensity sweeteners. U.S. Pat. No. 5,637,618. For the sake of convenience, the term "DHB" is used herein, where appropriate, to mean 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid and comestible salts thereof.
Tastands have been claimed to reduce or eliminate undesirable tastes by essentially blocking the undesirable taste interaction with the receptor site on the taste bud, without the tastand's imparting a taste of its own. This mechanism has been analogized to competitive inhibition with the binding site of the receptor(s) and/or competitive inhibition with the site(s) that influences the receptor. The tastand has been described as directly interacting with the receptor site for the undesirable taste, thereby preventing interaction of the undesirable taste with the target receptor site.
Sweeteners such as saccharin and 6-methyl-1,2,3-oxathiazin-4(3H)-one-2,2-dioxide potassium salt (acesulfame potassium) are commonly characterized as having bitter and/or metallic aftertastes. Products prepared with 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid along with these sweeteners are claimed to display reduced undesirable aftertastes. In contrast, some high-intensity sweeteners, notably sucralose (1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-β-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galacto-pyranoside) and aspartame (N-L-α-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester), display clean sweet tastes very similar to that of sugar (S. G. Wiet and G. A. Miller, Food Chemistry, 58(4):305-311 (1997)). In other words, these compounds are not characterized as having bitter or metallic aftertastes.
Still, high intensity sweeteners such as sucralose and aspartame are reported to have sweetness delivery problems, i.e., delayed onset and lingering of sweetness (S. G. Wiet, et al., J. Food Sci., 58(3):599-602, 666 (1993)). These phenomena arise via mechanisms which are biochemically distinct from those responsible for generating bitter or metallic aftertastes in response to certain other sweeteners (C.-K. Lee, Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry, 45:199-351 (1987)).
This invention provides a method of improving the sweetness delivery profile of a sucralose-containing ingestible composition, which comprises incorporating therein DHB at a DHB:sucralose weight ratio of from about 0.01% to about 100%.
It was discovered in this invention that 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid alters the rate at which sucralose interacts with "desirable" sweet taste receptor sites (i.e. sites transmitting the perception of sweetness). This finding is surprising, since the rate at which a sweet molecule binds to such desirable sites would not be expected to be altered by the presence of a tastand known to interact with an "undesirable" taste receptor site.
More specifically, since sucralose lacks any significant aftertaste, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid would not have been expected to affect the perception of its sweetness. It was found, however, that 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid significantly reduces the length of time during which sucralose sweetness is perceived. It was also found that 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid does not alter the sweetness delivery profile of aspartame, even though aspartame and sucralose share properties such as an absence of bitter and metallic aftertastes (see Examples below).
Accordingly, this invention provides a method of improving the sweetness delivery profile of a sucralose-containing ingestible composition, which comprises incorporating therein DHB at a DHB:sucralose weight ratio of from about 0.01% to about 100%. As used herein, "sucralose" shall mean 1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-β-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside. DHB, defined above to mean 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid and comestible salts thereof, is recognized by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturer's Association as safe for consumption. Comestible grade DHB is available, for example, from Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, Wis.). Comestible salts of 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid are preferred for use in this invention.
The "sweetness delivery profile" of sucralose, and therefore a sucralose-containing composition, includes both the time period preceding sweetness onset ("onset period"), and the time period during which sweetness lingers ("lingering period"). Reduction in length of either period improves the sweetness delivery profile of a sucralose-containing composition. Thus, in one embodiment of the invention, the improvement comprises reducing the onset period. In another embodiment, the improvement comprises reducing the lingering period. In the preferred embodiment, the improvement comprises reducing both the onset period and the lingering period.
DHB-induced shortening of sweetness onset and lingering periods is measured using an aqueous solution containing only sucralose. This solution constitutes a simple taste system, in that it triggers only sweetness receptors. In more complex sucralose-containing taste systems (e.g., an apple bar) that additionally trigger bitterness, sourness and/or salty receptors, DHB still reduces sweetness onset and lingering periods. However, in such complex systems, this DHB-induced reduction may not be perceived as such. Rather, as shown in the Examples below, this reduction may be perceived quite generally as an increase in overall "liking" of the sucralose-containing composition.
The ingestible composition whose sweetness delivery profile is improved can contain any sweetening amount of sucralose. Typically, this amount ranges from about 0.002% to about 10% by total weight of the ingestible composition. However, this amount can vary greatly depending on the nature of the composition being sweetened.
The amount of DHB added to the ingestible composition can be measured in relation to the amount of sucralose present in the composition. In one embodiment, the DHB:sucralose weight ratio is from about 0.1% to about 50%. In the preferred embodiment, the DHB:sucralose weight ratio is from about 2% to about 10%.
The DHB:sucralose ratio ranges in this invention were determined based on the preferred levels of DHB, and the sucralose levels generally used in ingestible compositions. At the lowest sucralose level (about 50 ppm) and highest DHB level (about 50 ppm) envisioned in this invention, the DHB:sucralose ratio is about 1:1, i.e. about 100%. At the highest sucralose level (as seen in sucralose concentrates and syrups), and lowest DHB level envisioned in this invention, the DHB:sucralose ratio is about 1:10,000, i.e. about 0.01%. Hence, the minimum and maximum DHB:sucralose ratios provided in this invention are about 0.01% and 100%, respectively.
"Incorporating" DHB into the sucralose-containing composition can be performed at any stage of the composition's production. In one embodiment, the incorporating occurs by combining the DHB with sucralose, and then adding the resulting mixture to other components of the composition. In another embodiment, DHB is added to other components of the composition, either before or after sucralose is added. The methods that can be used for incorporating DHB into sucralose-containing compositions are routine in the art, and are exemplified in the Examples below.
As used herein, the term "ingestible composition" means any substance intended for oral consumption either alone or together with another substance. The ingestible composition can be intended for consumption by a human, or other animal such as livestock or domestic animal.
In one embodiment, the ingestible composition is a solid or semi-solid food product. Solid and semi-solid food products include, but are in no way limited to, baked goods, confections, chewing gum, frostings, non-dairy toppings, gelatins, jams, processed fruit, ice milk, yogurt, breakfast cereals and snack foods. In another embodiment, the ingestible composition is a beverage. Beverages include, but are in no way limited to, fruit juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, beverage mixes, milk drinks and alcoholic beverages.
In a further embodiment, the ingestible composition is a sweetener. As used herein, the term "sweetener" means a composition which is not intended for oral consumption by itself, but rather is intended for consumption together with the substance being sweetened or made sweeter. Sweeteners are typically granular in form, but can be in any other suitable form such as powder, liquid or syrup. In one embodiment, the sweetener consists essentially of sucralose. More commonly, however, the sweetener consists essentially of sucralose and a carrier such as dextrose, lactose, maltodextrin or water. One example of this is the sweetener SPLENDA®.
The embodiments of the ingestible composition can optionally contain additional agents. For example, the ingestible composition can contain carriers such as starch, lactose and sucrose itself; bulking agents such as maltodextrins; and adjuvants such as stabilizing agents, coloring agents and viscosity-adjusting agents.
Finally, the ingestible composition can be a pharmaceutical composition. Examples of pharmaceutical compositions include, by way of example, chewable tablets, elixirs and syrups.
Pharmaceutical compositions typically contain one or more pharmaceutical carriers in addition to the active ingredients. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are well known in the art and include, without limitation, phosphate buffers and saline solutions. Additionally, such carriers may be aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions, solids, compressed solids, and emulsions. Examples of non-aqueous solvents are propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Aqueous carriers include, for example, water, alcoholic/aqueous solutions, emulsions and suspensions, including saline and buffered media. Solid carriers include, for example, lactose, cellulose and maltodextrins. Preservatives and other additives may also be present, such as, for example, antimicrobials, antioxidants, chelating agents, inert gases, flavoring and coloring agents and the like.
This invention will be better understood by reference to the Examples which follow, but those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that these Examples are only illustrative of the invention as described more fully in the claims which follow thereafter. Additionally, throughout this application, various publications are cited. The disclosure of these publications is hereby incorporated by reference into this application to describe more fully the state of the art to which this invention pertains.
In each of the following Examples, unless otherwise indicated, at least 55 panelists were used to evaluate the samples. Two statistical tests were used to determine if the addition of DHB significantly alters the various taste perceptions being studied. The first, analysis of variance (also known as "ANOVA"), was used here to determine whether two data sets (i.e., with and without DHB) differ at the 95% confidence level, once any variance between individual tasters is taken into account. The second, Tukey's HSD (Honestly Significant Difference) test, was also used here to determine whether data sets differ at the 95% confidence level. More specifically, Tukey's HSD test takes into account the mean square errors which have been determined by the ANOVA test. Both the ANOVA and Tukey's HSD tests are routinely used in the art.
Sweetness Properties of Sucralose/DHB Solutions
A panel of six trained evaluators determined equally sweet levels of sucralose, sucralose+DHB, aspartame, and aspartame+DHB, all in bottled water. These equally sweet levels were found to be 200 ppm sucralose, 190 ppm sucralose+15 ppm DHB, 550 ppm aspartame, and 535 ppm aspartame+15 ppm DHB. Previous evaluations had shown 15 ppm DHB as optimal for taste alteration in sucralose products. Greater than 50 ppm DHB, in pure water solutions, has a slightly sweet taste and contributes to the total taste of the solution.
For sweetness time-intensity studies, room temperature equally sweet solutions were presented to 12 trained panelists. The panelists had been screened for general sensory acuity and trained in general methods for sweetener assessment as well as time-intensity methods. Training sessions were carried out so that all panelists were conversant with the method as well as the computerized data entry system.
For each evaluation, each panelist took 10 mls of sweetener solution in his mouth and activated the computer timing system. Using a computer mouse, the panelist rated the sweetness intensity on a line scale (ranging from "none" to "extreme") while slowly moving the sample around in his mouth. After 10 seconds, the panelist swallowed the sample and continued to rate for sweetness. Computer timing stopped after a total of 180 seconds.
In each session, panelists received two coded samples, with at least 10 minutes rest and plain cracker and water rinse between samples. Panelists rested for at least 30 minutes between sessions. No more than 3 sessions were allowed on one day. All samples were designated with a random 3-digit code, and sample presentation order was randomized and balanced across panelists.
The data collected by the computer were read every second, for a total of 180 data points per tasting. Mean panelist response was calculated for each time data point. Analysis of variance was carried out to determine the differences between samples. The data from these tests are shown in FIG. 1 and Table 1 (sucralose-related), and FIG. 2 and Table 2 (aspartame-related).
Sweetness Properties of SPLENDA®/DHB Solutions
This Example illustrates the uniqueness of a SPLENDA®-sweetened solution with DHB in accordance with the present invention. Two solutions, equivalent in sweetness to a solution containing 10% sugar by weight, were prepared according to the formulations presented below. The maltodextrin shown in the formulations is a carrier for sucralose in the sweetener SPLENDA®, and is controlled for here by its use in both control and DHB-containing samples.
56 panelists received a 20 ml serving of each solution. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Tukey's HSD tests. Table 3 summarizes the mean scores.
To a significant degree, the DHB-containing sample demonstrated reduced sweetness duration, more natural taste and greater overall "liking."
Baked Apple Bar with SPLENDA®/DHB
Recipe Using SPLENDA®
2 cups all purpose flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1 cup reduced-calorie margarine; ˝ cup egg substitute; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; ˝ cup unsweetened applesauce; 2 cups peeled and grated apples; and 50 g SPLENDA®.
Recipe Using SPLENDA® with DHB
2 cups all purpose flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1 cup reduced-calorie margarine; ˝ cup egg substitute; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; ˝ cup unsweetened applesauce; 2 cups peeled and grated apples; 50 g SPLENDA®; and 0.13 g DHB sodium salt.
The apple bars were prepared according to the following procedures.
The SPLENDA®-sweetened apple bars were evaluated in comparison to the samples containing SPLENDA® with DHB. 66 panelists received a serving of each product, and marked their responses on a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Tukey's HSD tests. Mean scores are shown in Table 4.
The DHB-added sample was perceived as having a significantly faster sweetness onset than that of the control sample. The sample with DHB was significantly better for initial sweetness perception, sweetness intensity, natural sweet taste, aftertaste pleasantness and overall liking. However, no significant differences were noted for bitterness, aftertaste intensity, and duration of aftertaste.
Evaluation of DHB in Sucralose-Sweetened Colas
A. Background
Sensory research was conducted to determine the effect of DHB on sucralose-sweetened cola (220 ppm). The levels of DHB tested were 12.5, 15 and 17.5 ppm.
B. Sensory Testing
Each product was evaluated twice by approximately 28 panelists. Products were evaluated using a computerized sensory data acquisition system. Panelists were seated in individual, partitioned sensory booths to minimize their interaction with each other. Samples were presented one at a time. Each sample was evaluated before the next sample was tasted. Sample presentation order was randomized. Panelists consumed two ounces of refrigerated cola. After completing the evaluation of each sample, panelists were instructed to rinse their mouth thoroughly with a bite of cracker and some bottled water.
C. Results
The products were significantly different for only one attribute. The duration of sweet aftertaste was significantly lower for the cola with 17.5 ppm DHB (sample 4) when compared to the cola with 12.5 ppm of DHB (sample 2). There were no significant differences among products for any of the other attributes. Quantitative data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Tukey's HSD Test. The data are shown in Table 5.

Excellent recipe. I added another 1/4 a cup of peanut butter, just because, and used chunky instead of adding the peanuts at the end. In my oven, they were done perfectly at 10-11 minutes. Turned out great! Thanks!
This recipe works a lot better with two eggs, cookies tend to fall apart other wise.

Delicious! I used half whole wheat and half unbleached flour and they turned out great. I wasn't sure how much crushed peanuts to add so I put in about a 1/4 cup.
Although the taste is nice, these cookies are flat and lifeless. Also, unless you plan on making cookies that are smaller than nilla wafers, there is no way that this recipe yields 5 dozen cookies. I will not be using this recipe again.
WOW! Delicious! I changed only a little so that I had everything I needed in my cabinets already - 3/4 crunchy peanut butter and nixed the dry roasted peanuts. I also used margarine and added 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (chocolate and peanut butter sooo go together!) Cookies came out AMAZING!
Yum! I loved the addition of the chopped peanuts; that was a nice touch. The only criticism I have is that 8-10 minutes was not long enough to bake. After 10 minutes the cookies were still soft inside. It took about 15 minutes.
These cookies were delicious. I thought they were nice and moist - not dry at all as the previous reviewer had said. We used butter flavored Crisco instead of butter - only because we were out.
Very easy recipe. I added about 1/4 cup vanilla flavored chocolate chips and chopped pecans (I was cleaning out my baking cupboard). The cookies looked awesome when I took them out of the oven. 8 minutes was long enough on the middle rack. Any racks lower than that will burn the bottom without cooking the tops. Be careful. I spooned mine into 1.5 inch balls to make 2.5 inch cookies. Don't forget the signature fork marks on the top! The recipe only made 25 cookies, but I probably made mine bigger than the original recipe poster. Overall the cookies got a huge thumbs up from my husband who taste tests all of my baking adventures. Well done! Thanks for sharing!

Owners of an Aroostook County Farm Win Court Case
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) – Good news for the owners of a farm in Aroostook County! A jury has awarded them $1.1 million. The jury ruled for Vaughn and Mary Sleeper of Island falls, the owners of Sleeper Hill Farms, an Aroostook County potato seed farm, who claimed in a lawsuit that their defense lawyer failed to properly represent them in a previous case. The decision came last week after a five-day trial in Portland. The Sleepers hired Daniel Lilley's firm in 2001 to represent them and their business against Agway Inc., the New York-based agricultural conglomerate. The Sleepers alleged Agway withheld money from them. The Sleepers said Lilley, one of Maine's most high profile defense lawyers, didn't do his job properly. Lilley says he was surprised by the verdict because he won $128,000 for the Sleepers. He says he plans to appeal.

Andy La Roche had five RBI's to lead Buffalo to victory. Kevin Pillar and AJ Jimenez also had good games. Casey Lawrence pitched very well again and New Hampshire won. Emilio Guerrero hit a game winning home run in the eighth and Ian Parmley had a walk-off throw to cut down the tying run at the plate to end the game. The GCL Jays won in extra innings.
Lansing were held to just one hit. My notes from my visit to Lansing are at the bottom of this report. Jairo Labourt was shaky in from of Alex Anthopoulos, Vancouver lost. Bluefield lost a close one.
I fear the Yankees.
Game one starter Andrew Case drops a ball at first base that would eventually lead to a second run for Hillsboro in the third inning. The New Brunswick native struck out his first batter looking but that was the only K he registered in three innings. He allowed two runs (one unearned) on four hits and three walks. He reached 95 miles per hour with one pitch but was usually around 90 for his outing.
The Jays have designated Sergio Santos for assigment. Rob Rassmussen has been recalled. Santos has an ERA of close to eight this season and a WHIP over two. Santos has only four, three up, three down innings this year and only one of them has come after April.
I guess if you don't have money to sign players, the release of a non-performer "sends a message" to the team to win now. This maybe explains why AA was looking at Aaron Sanchez as an option for the major league bullpen, he is a Santos replacement.
Matt Smoral struck out nine in five innings and Richard Urena had three hits to lead Bluefield to victory. Scott Gracey one-upped Smoral as he struck out seven in 2.2 innings. Sean Nolin made a rehab start for Dunedin but the hitters won the game by batting around twice. Vancouver won easy with Jairo Labourt leading the way.
Buffalo's hitters are quiet, like the big club, and they lost. Daniel Norris was bombed even though Dalton Pompey and Andy Burns had a couple of hits each. Lansing also lost with yours truly watching.

So I just saw on Channel 6 news that they were hearing that the video shows that Hyde approached a woman to get her attention because somebody who he was out with wanted to talk to her. When Hyde tapped the woman on the shoulder, she pushed his hand away and punched him in the face... They didn't really give any information on what happened after that, but I would say that this won't be as serious as we all thought yesterday.
It could be referring to what I saw on Channel 6 News a little bit ago. I posted about it in the forum, but I'll just put it here too...
I posted it in the forum also, but I figured I'd share it here too for anyone looking. The only video I've seen so far:
Vrabel was introduced as the D-Line coach... I'm assuming that Luke will be taking back his position coaching the Linebackers along with his Co-Defensive Coordinator role?
I have to go with Alabama. There's just something about Nick Saban that rubs me the wrong way and since he's been coaching there it seems like their fans have been the cockiest I've ever seen. The only reason that I have to like about Alabama is that Forrest Gump went there.
And now according to their standings we won 11 games against Big Ten opponents last year... amazing.
If Ohio State does choose to go with somebody other than Fickle after the season is over, what are the chances that the new coach would keep Fickle on the staff as a coordinator or position coach? Fickle has proven to be one of the best assistants in college football and I would hate to see him leave tOSU. Keeping him around would also make it so there is at least some consistency on the coaching staff and somebody who the players and recruits are familiar with at the school.
I'm going to go ahead and say that a hell of a lot of these votes did not come from Ohio State fans. Normally I think the polls on here only get around 400 total votes and right now there are over 900 votes in and it's still climbing. I would guess that at least 25% of the votes came from non-Ohio State fans.
My momma always said, prostitution was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
A no sex rule at a college? Surely I'm not the only one who sees irony in that. If the rules at BYU were strictly enforced, I'd be willing to bet that at least half of the students on that campus would be kicked out of school, lose their scholarships, etc. Pretty much the entire faculty and staff would probably be fired too if they were held to the same rules.

WARRENSBURG When students returned to school this week, they discovered that North Warren Central School has a new person in charge of athletics and physical education.
Jeremy Whipple, 35, a physical education instructor and coach at North Warren in recent years, has stepped into the role of Athletic Director following Jason Humiston's resignation. Humiston moved on this summer to take over the position of Athletic Director at Fort Ann Central School.
During the six years Whipple has been employed at North Warren Central, he's been teaching physical education primarily to students in 4th through 8th grades, and he's coached Junior Varsity soccer and basketball as well as Varsity softball.
Whipple grew up in Hudson Falls, he attended Castleton State College, and was granted a Masters in Education from the University of New England.
In his new post, he oversees all physical education and athletics programs, as well as serving as physical education instructor at the high school level.
Whipple, who resides in Schroon Lake, said he was pleased to follow in the footsteps of Jason Humiston, who is known as a high-energy coach with lofty expectations for the school's teams.
During Humiston's reign, North Warren's in sports teams had remarkable accomplishments despite the school district's small enrollment, Whipple said.
"North Warren has gained the respect of other teams through recent years," Whipple said. "They know they're going to have a real game when they come up against the Cougars, and that's something to take pride in."
Whipple said he had learned a lot from coaching alongside Humiston, and he was going to work hard to keep up the momentum.
"I'm going to pursue the same approach as Jason – his obviously worked," he said. "I expect there to be a smooth transition."
Humiston said he would miss the school staff members and students as well as all the people in the North Warren community.
"Taking the job at Fort Ann and leaving North Warren was a difficult decision to make," he said, noting that he lives in Argyle — minutes away from Fort Ann rather than an hour's commute to Chestertown.

Clippers win Class B again!; Yarmouth makes it four titles in seven years with 5-0 win over Ellsworth
FALMOUTH—The 2010 Yarmouth boys' soccer team was simply perfect.
Make that the 2010 Class B state champion Yarmouth boys' soccer team, which capped arguably the finest season in the program's storied history Saturday morning with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Ellsworth in the state final at Falmouth High School.
The Clippers saved their finest hour for last, scoring three times in the first half and twice more in the second, dominating for 80 minutes as they finished 17-0-1, winning their fourth state title in seven years, ironically, on the field of their fiercest rival.
Showing its balance, Yarmouth got goals from four different players (seniors Campbell Belisle-Haley and Luke Pierce and juniors Eamon Costello and Sam Torres), smothered Ellsworth's attack with its midfield and defense and cruised to a championship celebration.
"I couldn't be more proud of a team," said Clippers coach Mike Hagerty, who won his fifth championship in 14 years in Yarmouth. "They're a tremendous group of individuals. Just an unselfish, hard working group. We got stronger as the game went on and put them on their heels."
Yarmouth has one of the state's most storied traditions, winning state titles as far back as 1973 (the only other previous time the Clippers went through a season without a loss), but this is unquestionably the program's Golden Age as Hagerty and assistants, Dale Wing, Jim Merrill, Joe Burdick, Doug Hoehle and Jon Vigue have created a powerhouse year after year.
The Clippers, winners of a Class C crown in 1982 (2-1 over Piscataquis), co-Class B champs with Ellsworth in 1989 and outright Class B champions in 1997 (2-1 over MCI), won Class B in 2004, 2005 (3-0 against Presque Isle) and again two years ago (1-0 over Presque Isle, on Matt Morrill's late goal).
This fall, Yarmouth got off to a hot start by virtue of its first-ever home turf win over rival Falmouth, the defending champion, then rolled through a brutal slate, winning 13 of 14 contests. The lone blemish was a 1-1 tie at Cape Elizabeth, which could have wound up the win column as well, but that one ended when the lights went out unexpectedly.
The Clippers earned the top seed in Western B and held off No. 8 Oak Hill, 3-0, in the quarterfinals, edged No. 4 York, 1-0, in the semis (on a late Pierce goal), then outlasted Falmouth in an instant classic regional final Wednesday, 1-0, on senior Cotter Jackson's overtime tally.
Ellsworth, coached by the legendary Brian Higgins, won all 14 regular season games and downed No. 9 Hermon, No. 5 Old Town and No. 2 Camden Hills to win its 16th regional championship. The Eagles have captured three outright Class B titles (1985, 1988 and 1993), tying Yarmouth in 1989.
That, of course, suggests that the teams had a history prior to Saturday.
In 1989, they played to a 2-2 tie in the state game. In 2004, the Clippers got a late goal from Justin Morrill and beat the Eagles, 1-0, in the final.
Ellsworth made it to the state game a year ago, but lost to Falmouth, 3-0.
Saturday, the Eagles fell short again as Yarmouth put an ideal punctuation mark on its spectacular season.
The tone was set in the third minute when the Clippers, not showing a hint of nerves, came close to scoring when Torres (who was bequeathed the same shirt that each Morrill brother wore when they played state game hero) crossed to junior Ryan Maguire, who shot just wide.
At the 10 minute mark, Pierce crossed to Torres and the junior sent a shot just off the mark.
Yarmouth would get the only goal it needed with 26:30 to play in the 40-minute first half.
Off a corner kick (and no team in the state is as deadly on set pieces as this one), Maguire floated a perfect ball right in front of the goal where Belisle-Haley soared and headed it past Eagles' senior goalkeeper Jordan Carter, who was knocked out of the play.
"All season, it's been Luke, who's an amazing player, crashing back post and me going to the middle of the goal," said Belisle-Haley. "I was right where I needed to be that time and it was a one-yard header."
"Credit to Campbell," Pierce said. "Getting the first goal was huge."
While Yarmouth would soon break the game open, Ellsworth did have a golden opportunity to draw even midway through the half when senior Andrew Austin's throw-in from the side landed and sat dangerously in front of the goal for a split second before Pierce calmly kicked it away.
The Clippers then turned up their attack, but were initially frustrated as Maguire shot just high with his left foot after a Torres cross, then Maguire's shot forced Carter to make a sprawling save.
With 8:49 left before halftime, Pierce's free kick was bobbled by the goalie. The ball came out to Torres who had an open net, but his shot hit the post and the game remained 1-0.
"Luke took a quick shot, I followed it in, but couldn't get it in," said Torres. "It's happened to me a few times. I didn't want to think about it too much and let it go. I kept playing. That's the most important thing, to work hard. That's what we've done all season."
A lesser team might have hung its head and lost momentum, but the Clippers kept working and were rewarded by scoring an improbable two goals in 37 seconds.
With 3:56 left before halftime, Belisle-Haley fired a blast at Carter, who again bobbled the shot and this time, it cost the Eagles as Costello raced in and fired it home for a 2-0 lead.
It was Costello's first goal of the season.
"Eamon's first goal of the year came in the state game," said Pierce. "Perfect timing."
"Campbell got the ball and we made eye connection," Costello said. "He put it on goal and I followed. The ball is wet and we had to take chances. Our depth is amazing. We have so many guys coming off the bench. There's no doubt that everyone can get it done."
"The first one was beautiful, but the second one opened things up for us," Hagerty added. "(Sam hitting the post) could have been a downer, but the kids, as they have all year, responded the right way."
If that wasn't enough, Yarmouth assumed total control with 3:19 remaining when Belisle-Haley passed to Maguire, whose shot led to another rebound that Pierce easily steered home to make it 3-0 at the break.
"Ryan had a nice cross and the goalie rebounded it right to me," Pierce said.
"We knew we needed to play with our feet," said Torres. "We knew Ellsworth would be a tough team and we needed to play it wide. We got the job done. We just followed the shots. We knew the ground was wet. That was key for us."
"We rested up this week and were giving all our energy in the games," said Belisle-Haley. "We focused on what we needed to do tactically. That made a difference. We were high energy today. We emphasized that we couldn't let up on intensity or energy. We really put our foot on the gas pedal to get those couple goals."
While the Clippers had a commanding lead at halftime (and their fans reveled in the lead and got fired up even further thanks to the cheerleading of Wing during the break), they weren't about to let up.
Just 38 seconds in to the second half, Torres' high shot was saved by Carter. Five minutes later, junior Josh Britten's cross intended for Torres was punched away by the goalie. With 32:04 to play, Belisle-Haley bulled his way past a defender and shot high. Two minutes later, Maguire made a series of pretty moves to elude three defenders before his shot resulted in a fingertip save by Carter.
Then, as it had in the first half, Yarmouth was rewarded with back-to back goals.
With 29:28 to play, Pierce scored his 18th goal of the season (leaving him one shy of the program record shared by former standouts Greg Abbot and Eoin Lynch) and the final goal of his Clippers' career in fitting fashion, with his head. Off a corner, Jackson fed the ball toward the goal and Pierce had no trouble finishing it off to make it 4-0.
"We maintained that 0-0 mentality the rest of the game," said Pierce. "We made sure Cotter went back post. It was perfect. He put it right where my run went. It was simple. I put it in."
Less than three minutes later, with 26:57 left to play, Torres earned a measure of vindication by heading in a pass from Belisle-Haley to make it 5-0, erasing the memory of his close call in the first half.
"It was nice to get that goal," said Torres. "Campbell came down here and played a perfect ball right to my head. It felt great."
From there, Yarmouth protected its lead before Hagerty began substituting liberally, getting every active player on the roster into the game. The clock wound down and the Clippers were state champions once again.
"It feels incredible," Belisle-Haley said. "It's the greatest feeling in the world. I'm so proud of these guys. We worked so hard all season long. We weren't quite sure coming into the season. To not lose a game is more than I ever could have asked for. I love these guys. They're my brothers. I don't have brothers. We've bonded as a unit and I think that was the difference this year."
"It was such a great team win," said Pierce. "I'm so proud of everybody. At the end of the game, having all the seniors out there, I'll keep that with me for the rest of my life. I'm so happy for everybody. Things couldn't have gone any better."
"We didn't expect to score five," Hagerty added. "We knew Ellsworth was a stingy defense. They had a dozen shutouts and a very athletic, good goalie. We knew it would be tough to score. We knew (Ellsworth) wouldn't quit. Led by Campbell today, who I think had one of his best games, and (senior back and free kick specialist) Kyle Groves, we weren't going to bend. I thought the effort was just tremendous for 80 minutes. Everybody got in. When the freshmen got in, we still played well."
Pride of three continents
Two of the happiest Clippers Saturday were freshman Chandler Smith, who recently moved to Yarmouth from Australia, and junior Spanish exchange student Pau Carnero Melero, a midfielder who brought his unique zest to the pitch, winning over the hearts of the fans (especially the females, who always shrieked loudest when the ball was in on his foot) with his play.
"I didn't come here to be a runner-up," said Melero, who frequently brandished a Spanish flag during the postseason. "We have a great team. It's the best team in the state. We're teammates and friends. I thought on the plane (coming to America) that we wouldn't even make the playoffs. The first day, everyone was so understanding with me and so friendly and made my life easier. This is my family. I'll never forget this year."
Either will anyone else in Clippers Nation.
"We were really unified and cohesive as a team,' Pierce said. "Everyone played for each other. We have four freshmen on varsity. It's sad that it's over, but if there's a way to end it, this is it. The coaching was unbelievable. It's been the best four years of my life."
"We didn't think we'd have this good a team, to be honest," said Torres.
"We didn't expect this," added Hagerty, who was given a celebratory ice water bath after the win. "We hoped for the top four. The difference has been their work ethic, every day, every practice. That's attributable to our captains. Three of the best captains we've ever had. Campbell, Luke and Kyle. They work every day. They don't want days off. The three of them down the middle were hard and physical all year. As much as you'd like to think a team is a reflection of their coaches, this team was a reflection of the captains."
Not finished
Yarmouth's eight seniors will be missed, but anyone expecting the Clippers to come back to the pack in 2011 will be disappointed. With the likes of current juniors Britten, Costello, Maguire, Torres and goalkeeper Chris Knaub leading the charge and the freshmen seeking more playing time, Yarmouth figures to be a championship contender anew.
"Next year will be a great year," Costello said. "We have a lot of people coming back."
"We'll be ready to go next season," said Torres. "We'll have good leadership. Chris Knaub's coming back. He's a great goalie. We have great defense. We'll work hard in the midfield. We have a bunch of other young players coming in strong too."
"We have a really good group coming back," Hagerty said. "I have to figure out a way to get Pau married, maybe to coach Wing's daughter and get him to stay! We have a terrific freshman class who will be ready and hungry, especially after seeing this. It was a great ending. I'm very happy."

Fundrasier benefits bereaved children of accident victims
BROADWAY — When Aaron Powers, Kathy Powers, Chris Baker and Becky Powell died in a single-vehicle accident in January, six children were left behind. Now, friends and community members have rallied together to raise funds for those children through a day of entertainment and remembrance.
A score of events — including an auction, musical entertainment and a motorcycle and car show — is slated for March 16 at the Sanford Lions Club Fairgrounds in hopes of raising $60,000 for the children.
Jennifer Sallaz, a close friend of the four who died, said she wanted to find a way to honor her friends and support the children through a shared passion.
"Kathy had a love for Mustangs," Sallaz said. "So I thought let's do a cruise-in. When I put the event up on Facebook, it blew up with people wanting to help and wanting to find a way to donate."
Aaron Powers, 31, and his wife, Kathy Powers, 35, both of Sanford; Baker, 33, of Broadway; and his girlfriend, Powell, 38, of Chapin, S.C., were killed in the single-vehicle accident Jan. 12 in the 600 block of Swanns Station Road. Law enforcement agencies responded to the accident at 2:34 a.m. after the vehicle reportedly ran off the road, hit a tree and struck a vacant home, igniting both the car and house, said N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper Steven Spivey in a previous interview.
More than 100 items have been donated to be auctioned off at 6 p.m. March 16 at the fairgrounds, and nearly 300 bikers are participating in the poker run, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. at Crossroads Ministries, located at 107 Milton Ave., Broadway.
"I think people should come out to show the children they are loved very much and the community is going to be there to support them," Sallaz said. "I think the community should come out and see how much these people were loved and how they are missed."
Tim Copas is helping organize the logistics of the celebration and helped bring award-winning band Dark Water Rising and the Hometown Hero Tour, among other musical performances, to the fairgrounds for the celebration. The music is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
"We have all kinds of activities and vendors coming out," he said. "We want it to be a carnival-type atmosphere at the fairgrounds. It's been a labor of love for the people helping the families out. We want it to be a trip down memory lane."
Tabitha Gautier, who has partnered with Sallaz for the Saturday event, said Baker was a close friend and like a second father to her son.
"(The past months) have been overwhelming," she said. "It's been a whole mix of emotions. There has just been the outpouring of support from the community, and it just shows what these four people meant to our community."
Growing up in a large family, Gautier said she wanted to get involved because of the two children who lost both parents and the four children who lost one parent from the accident.
"There is nothing that touches my heart more than a child," she said. "I hope everyone sees it that way and realizes what we need to do as a community."

Recovery Act Invests $40 million for California Drought Relief
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Mike Connor announced today that $40 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) has been released for drought-relief projects in California. Projects include the installation of temporary pipelines and pumps, drilling and installation of new water wells, well-enhancement projects, and a groundwater monitoring effort. In an interview, Deputy Secretary of the Interior David Hayes said these investments will help preserve permanent crops and associated jobs in an area that is experiencing a prolonged drought, economic hardship and some of the highest unemployment rates in the United States.
Topic / Summary / Transcript
Topic: Deputy Secretary David Hayes was appointed by Secretary Salazar to lead the federal water efforts in California. He says the emergency drought relief will help to stretch limited water supplies.
Up to $40 million will be available through a program that now has identified specific projects that have essentially earned the right to spend this money. Most of those projects are in the Central Valley. They provide opportunities for emergency access to water and essentially enable the stretching of limited water supplies.
Topic: Deputy Secretary Hayes says the drought projects can begin immediately.
This money is ready to go right now. Folks have put in proposals, proposals have been accepted. The paperwork is getting done, the money will flow.
Topic: Deputy Secretary Hayes says California water is a top priority for recovery dollars.
To illustrate the point of how important California is, the entire water budget for the recovery act is about a billion dollars. Fully a third of that we're spending in California. So we are totally focused on making the recovery act dollars work for California and then in partnering with the state in a way that has not happened in the recent past to help solve the continuing conflicts around water and the environment and we're going to continue to stay on the job.
Topic: Deputy Secretary Hayes promises the federal government will be a full partner with California.
Now unfortunately the federal government has not been engaged in California in recent years on these very difficult issues of water and environment. And in fact the governor has essentially had to go it alone with other state interests and stake holders and they've made great progress through their Delta Vision approach to chart a path forward. It's time now for the federal government, which operates the largest water project in the state, to be a full partner with the state. And that's what we're essentially announcing today. Actually this is the latest in a series of announcements.

$120 a day, room and board included. What a scam. Check out hotel prices some time if you think that's a scam. I'm sure it's not top quality hotel room accomadations, but they're feeding you and you're getting instruction from 9 BJJ black belts, including possibly the best BJJ player in the world in Jacare.

Two guys from my academy went a couple of years back.
They stayed in a fantastic villa on the beach, trained with the best in the world, got personal instruction from Leo Viera and Ratinho, got drunk all the time, tapped hookers two or three at a time and came back awesome BJJ players.
There is probably not a better way to spend $120 per day. The guys I know all went back a second time, and got a reduced rate under $100/day.
I would go, except my wife would freak out.

Editor on Duty: Thom Gerretsen (715) 389-2373

Here are the headlines:
The State Supreme Court gets a grade of "F" for its disclosure requirements by justices when they have potential conflicts-of-interest in their cases...
A Milwaukee federal judge sentences a man to five years in prison for helping run a Jamaican lottery scam...
A Waukesha man is charged in the traffic death of a motorcyclist.
Here are the details:
The Wisconsin Supreme Court receiving a failing grade today for disclosure requirements by justices in cases where they might have conflicts-of-interest. A total of 43 states received grades of "F" by the Center for Public Integrity. California and Maryland had the highest grades of "C." Six other states got "D's." Actually, Wisconsin ranked 14th among what the center calls a dismal lot. The federal court system had a better grade than all the states. It was given a "B" for its conflict disclosure requirements. The report noted that Wisconsin justices faced ethics charges in recent years. Annette Ziegler was reprimanded for her involvement in a 2008 case as a Washington County judge, involving a bank in which her husband was a board member. The report also said Justice Ann Walsh Bradley took part in a case in 2011 involving Nestle U-S-A, when she owned at least five-thousand dollars in the company's stock. Bradley ruled against Nestle in that matter. Justices David Prosser and Michael Gableman have also faced ethics allegations in recent years. They and Bradley were not punished by their colleagues.
A federal judge in Milwaukee sentenced a man to five years in prison today, for helping run a lottery scam based in Jamaica. 28-year-old O'Brain Junior Lynch struck a plea deal in June, in which he admitted stealing at least 35-thousand dollars from over 50 people -- including a man from the Milwaukee suburb of Glendale. The man told Federal Judge J-P Stadtmueller how he and his family lost over 116-thousand dollars in the scam. Lynch convinced the victim that he won over five-million dollars plus two cars in the Jamaican Lottery, and the defendant kept pressuring Lynch to pay thousands in feeds to get a prize that was promised for a long time but never came. The man said he cashed out his life insurance, took a loan against his car, sold guns, and borrowed from a relative to pay Lynch. Defense lawyer Daniel Meylink said Lynch was a cab driver in Montego Bay when he was recruited to make what he called "easy money" to help his family -- and Lynch assumed he was pulling off a victimless crime.
A half-million-dollar bond has been set for a Waukesha man accused of driving with a suspended license while causing a crash that killed a motorcyclist. 23-year-old Edi Gomez is due back in court next Tuesday to have his case reviewed. Prosecutors said Gomez was late for work on October 11th when he passed a motorcycle on the right, then lost control and struck the bike. The motorcyclist, 58-year-old James Solveson of Waukesha, was thrown from his bike. Officials said his helmet came off, and his head struck a metal pole. The S-U-V driven by Gomez flipped over three times. At first, authorities said Gomez claimed the motorcycle tried passing him -- but he came clean when witnesses said otherwise. Officials said Gomez admitted tailgating, and he knew his license was suspended at the time. He's charged with negligent homicide, and causing death while driving under suspension.
