We Can Help The Utes Get Recruits
"NCAA To Let Recruits Have Bagel Spreads - Let The Bribery Begin" - CafeMom.com
There seem to be a lot of these regulations that are totally ridiculous and ineffective, and that's why the NCAA legislative council will consider 91 changes to them when it meets in January. Hallelujah ... I guess? At the very least, it might do away with legislation passed only TWO years ago (?!?!?) that prohibits schools from providing student-athletes with complimentary butter or jam packets to accompany any bagels, fruits, or nuts. (Before that, schools couldn't bribe kids with any food at all, save energy bars. Ha.)If we could team up with the University of Utah in providing bagels to recruits, we would have the best football team in the country. BYU would have to settle for Einstein Bagels and would suffer. Better bagels = better recruits.
But Proposal No. 2011-78 would finally make butter, peanut butter, jelly, and cream cheese a-okay ... maaaaybe by sometime next year.

New York’s famed H&H bagel joint closes ... JPost - International
New York’s famed H&H bagel joint closes ... JPost - International
Curious passersby paused on Sunday morning outside the vacant store where the famed H&H Bagels once stood, peeking through the tainted windows of the former bakery that until just recently had attracted lovers of the ovalshaped bread from near and far.
“Whoa, I can’t believe it,” said Michael Blumenthal, a New Jersey native who hadn’t heard the news that the establishment had shuttered earlier in the week. “It’s an institution. I used to love coming to this place. I tried to bring my friend here today and it’s closed.”

Consider the Bagel - Guardian.co.uk
The deterioration of New York's bagels – and those of everywhere else, come to that – is an inevitable consequence of their modern popularity. Mechanisation, freezers and food scientists are the enemies of flavour and heritage. Eastern European émigrés, often Jewish, brought bagel-making to New York in the late 1800s. For most of the 20th century the heavily unionised bakers turned production of the bread into a cartel – the main advantage of which, by common consent, was that quality remained high. Proper bagels are difficult to do well.
