Welcome to Rice Krispies Treats Day!
Rice Krispies Treats (also called Rice Krispies squares, bars, buns, cakes, orMarshmallow Squares) are a confection commonly made through bindingKellogg's Rice Krispies or another crisp rice cereal together using a combination ofbutter or margarine and melted marshmallows or marshmallow creme.
Rice Krispies Treats are widely thought to have been invented in 1939 by Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day at the Kellogg Company[2] home economics department as a fund raiser for Camp Fire Girls.[3][4][unreliable source?] Kellogg's began to commercially produce plain and chocolate-based treats under the trademark brand-names of "Rice Krispies Treats" (in the U.S. and Mexico), "Squares" (in Canada and the U.K.) and "LCMs" (in Australia and New Zealand) in 1995; however, other manufacturers had offered similar products under variant names (such as "Crisped Rice Treats" or "Marshmallow Treats") prior to this. Kellogg's also offers a themed breakfast cereal.[5]

Malachi Richardson Expected to Play Small Forward in 2015-16 (TNIAAM; Szuba)
Malachi Richardson has come to Syracuse with the reputation of being a tremendous shooter. The 6-foot-6 freshman has a feathery stroke, one that will make Syracuse Orange fans flashback to James Southerland. Now, Mike Waters reports that Jim Boeheim will play Richardson at forward, not guard.
"Malachi will play small forward, which will give us four frontline players. There's never been any other thought for this year."
This will give Syracuse multiple perimeter threats, something that has been lacking the last two seasons on the offensive end. It will also add to the depth at forward.
What this means is that we can expect Trevor Cooney to hover around his typical 37.3 minutes per game of playing time. With Richardson at forward, this means Syracuse will play Michael Gbinije, Tyler Roberson and Tyler Lydon at the forward spots, with Gbinije probably splitting time at point with Kaleb Joseph. This could also mean that freshman Frank Howard might earn some time behind Cooney, Joseph and Gbinije as technically the fourth "guard" in the rotation.

Hop Sustains Dreaded Upper Body Surfing Injury (TNIAAM; Keeley)
Jim Boeheim's assistant and future successor injured his neck in a body surfing accident recently and is wearing a protective brace.
That's sage advice from Syracuse Orange basketball assistant and lady-in-waiting Mike Hopkins, who should probably heed it himself.
Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Mike Hopkins recently suffered a neck injury and is wearing a protecting brace.
The injury happened while Hopkins and his family were visiting his parents in California, he said. Hopkins was body-surfing in the ocean with his kids.
Put it in terms I can understand as a Syracuse fan. Tell me he has an Upper Body Surfing Injury.
According to Mike Waters, the injury is not severe and he has been overseeing SU player workouts and taking recruiting trips since.
And now it's time for Twitter to do what Twitter does best.

Steve Rannazzisi Dropped From BWW Ads After Admitting He Lied About Being in the World Trade Center During the 9/11 Attacks (PS; AP)
Buffalo Wild Wings will stop airing TV commercials featuring comedian Steve Rannazzisi, who said this week that he lied about being in the World Trade Center during the Sept. 11 attacks.
"Upon careful review, we have decided to discontinue airing our current television commercials featuring Steve Rannazzisi," the Minneapolis company said in a statement Thursday.
The New York Times first reported Rannazzisi's admission earlier this week. Rannazzisi, who is also a star on the FXX show "The League," has said in the past that he was working as an account manager for Merrill Lynch on the 54th floor of one of the World Trade Center towers when it was hit with a plane. He and described the "pandemonium" he witnessed when he ran out into the street.
In an interview with comedian Marc Maron, Rannazzisi also said six of the 10 members on a basketball team he played on died.
This week, Rannazzisi said on Twitter he was in fact working in another part of the city, and not at the World Trade Center.
"I don't know why I said this," he wrote. "This was inexcusable."
A representative for Rannazzisi, Matthew Labov, said Thursday the actor had no comment following the decision by Buffalo Wild Wings.
Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. said it started airing the most recent ads featuring Rannazzisi in August, after featuring him in ads around March Madness earlier this year.
