Welcome to National Cinnamon-Raisin Bread Day!
The invention of cinnamon-raisin bread has been attributed to Henry David Thoreau, though there have been published recipes for bread with raisins in it since 1671. Since the 1400s, breads made with raisins were made in Europe. In Germany stollen was a Christmas bread. Kulich was an Easter bread made in Russia and panettone was made in Italy.[13] The earliest citation for "raisin bread" in the Oxford English Dictionary is dated to an 1845 article in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine.[14] In England, raisin bread became a common element of high tea from the second half of the nineteenth century.[15] In the 1920s, raisin bread was advertised as "The Bread Of Iron", due to the high iron content of the raisins.[16] The bread became increasingly popular among English bakers in the 1960s.[17]

Who Will Lead SU in Scoring in 2015-16? (thejuice; Dagostino)
Last year, it was Rakeem Christmas. In the 2013-14 and 2012-13 seasons, C.J. Fair was the guy. Two straight seasons prior to that, Kris Joseph did the deed.
All three of those guys represent the leading scorers for the Syracuse basketball team over the last five seasons.
At last check, none of those guys currently reside on the Orange roster. So, who will be labeled top scorer this season?
Of the returning players, two averaged double figures last season. Trevor Cooney averaged 13.4 points per game and Michael Gbinije averaged 12.7 points per game. Tyler Roberson was next on the list at 8.3 per game. The list of possibilities probably ends there.
Of the three, Roberson seems least likely to lead the way. Roberson, while perhaps the most athletic of the bunch, won’t have many plays run for him and won’t have the ball in his hands as much as a big man. In fact, you could make an argument he may average more rebounds each game than points. He has a knack of getting to the boards, which may bode well for his scoring numbers if he can get to the offensive glass and get some easy buckets that way. But, without his number being called too often, Roberson may see only a modest increase in his scoring average.
Cooney…can he? He has averaged double digits in each of the last two seasons and plays a ton of minutes (37.3 per game last season). He attempted 376 shots last season, 76 more than Gbinije. So, the opportunities will be there.

Pasadena Quarterbacks Presents Bill Roth, New Voice of the UCLA Bruins, at Weekly Luncheon (pasadenanow.com; Paramo)
Pasadena Quarterbacks is presenting Bill Roth, the New Voice of the UCLA Bruins, at their weekly lunch meeting on Friday, September 18th, at the Mediterranean Room of the Brookside Golf Club, 1133 Rosemont Avenue, Pasadena.
Roth, a Hall of Fame broadcaster, succeeds Chris Roberts who has held the post for over 20 years. He comes to UCLA after spending the past 27 seasons as the lead play-by-play broadcaster for Virginia Tech’s football and men’s basketball teams.
A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Roth graduated from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications in 1987 with a broadcast journalism degree. UCLA announced his appointment in April.
“I am tremendously grateful, honored and humbled, to be named the new Voice of the Bruins,” Roth said when he was appointed. “I have tremendous respect for the UCLA tradition, having grown up sitting in front of the television in awe of national broadcasts featuring Bruin teams, playing at the historic venues of Pauley Pavilion and the Rose Bowl.”
Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and the program begins at 12 noon. Cost is $25 for members and $40 for non-members.
