Leading up to SportsCentre's Year In Review on Christmas Eve, TSN and TSN.ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013.
Today, we look back at the continuing saga of performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball involving Ryan Braun and Alex Rodriguez.
In the beginning, the Biogenesis story that The Miami New Times broke in January sounded like yet another round of the steroid scandal that has plagued baseball for decades.
The publication reported that it had obtained documents from the Biogenesis clinic that could link three players – newly-signed Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera along with Bartolo Colon and Yasmani Grandal – to positive tests for performance-enhancing drugs.
As the days and weeks wore on, more names emerged as possible links. Bigger names including Ryan Braun, Nelson Cruz and Alex Rodriguez hovered around the report, but would Major League Baseball find the smoking gun on these players that had eluded them in the past when trying to pin star players like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens to PEDs?
Major League Baseball sued Biogenesis owner Anthony Bosch in an attempt to obtain the information it needed to bust the story open. By May, Bosch had agreed to work with MLB and by June the League began to conduct interviews with players it believed to be linked to the case.
In July, some dominos began to fall.
Braun was the first to get suspended on July 22. The Brewers' slugger - who, after successfully appealing a 50-game ban from the 2011 season had declared he had "nothing to hide" – accepted a 65-game ban, enough to keep him out for the duration of the 2013 season.
And then came the flood.
A total of 13 players were handed suspensions, with 50-game bans going to All-Stars like Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera amongst others. Their punishment, however, would pale in comparison to what was headed Rodriguez's way.
The League suspended A-Rod a total of 211 games, enough to keep him off the field until the start of the 2015 season. The hammer came down on Rodriguez not only for alleged use and possession of banned substance over multiple years, but also for what they called, "his attempts to cover up those violations and obstruct a league investigation."
Rodriguez appealed the suspension and actually returned to the field to play 44 games with the New York Yankees at the tail end of the 2013 season. Playing through fan vitriol from fans all year long, Rodriguez posted his lowest percentages since his sophomore 1995 season as a 19-year-old.
A-Rod – the only player to appeal his ban – had his appeal hearing heard over a span of 13 days in November, concluding on Nov. 21. A ruling is expected next month and the saga will be far from over.
Keep up with the latest on Canada's national programs from the governing body for amateur baseball in Canada.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great workout pants. I prefer them over all of my others and wear them multiple times a week. They wash well and still look great. I need to buy more. I like that they are a little higher waisted than most. The front has a little part that is cinched together (sewn) and it is a nice touch.

Frank is unwanted, a hobo, a vagrant. Who would dislike Frank, I don't know. When Gerard comes along, and is kind to Frank and offers Frank food and a roof over his head, will Frank take it? Will G...
It was a park, he knew that much. His face was pressed down against the wood of a bench, like he'd just collapsed onto it. Knowing Frank, he had. Frank checked the gloomy, overcast sky. Snow was coming this winter, it had been predicted to be harsh - Frank knew when he watched the weather channel in a TV shop. The man owning it had said "Hey, if you're not buying, get out!". Frank despised these people the most - people who couldn't spare two seconds for those in need. Ahead of him, perched on a slight incline, was a kids park. One of the mothers kept glaring at him. He'd have spat at her if he'd have gotten a chance, but nasty men don't get nice things. Instead, he sat himself up and looked around. It looked about mid-day. This was bad. It meant that he'd lost half a day of money - not that he ever got much anyway.
His dry lips saw reason to buy water but as Frank lowered his hand to grip his little bag of change he panicked in its absence. Of course, it had been stolen. Frank let himself slump backwards in a hopeless manner, putting his head in his hands and groaning loudly. Some days, he'd never felt anger like it. This was one of those days. With one last shudder, he stood. He ignored the glaring woman, the screaming kids, the scary-looking sky and relieved his bladder behind a tree yet still in plain sight of the kids playground. If life was going to screw him over at least he was having the last laugh, he thought, as he pulled up his torn denim jeans and walked away into the distance. He didn't know exactly what the day had in store for him, but if it was anything like the others then it wouldn't be good.

County Enviromental Issues
Economic Injury Disaster Loan
Kaufman County
The Office of Emergency Management is the successor of the Office of Civil Defense. The Civil Defense Act of 1950 created offices of "Civil Defense" in cities and counties throughout the United States, and was primarily focused on planning for a Nuclear Attack. In the late 1970s, the focus of planning changed to more of an "all hazards" approach, so the offices began to concentrate more on the day-to-day types of emergencies such as severe weather, hazardous materials, large fires, plane crashes, etc.
The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) today is responsible for coordinating the activities of volunteer, public and private agencies in all phases of emergency management (Preparedness, Response, Recovery, and Mitigation). The OEM also develops plans, training programs, exercises, and coordinates emergency management training for Kaufman County and its allied agencies.
The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) also assists City, State, and Federal officials and their respective constituents with disaster preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery programs. The Office also serves as a repository of information concerning hazard identification and mitigation procedures as well as a contact point for incoming information regarding potential threats to the local community or region. OEM also provides the public and media organizations with accurate and timely information regarding emergency management programs and issues in the County.

Spring Football Game: Green Holds Off White, 17-10
April 24, 2010
Final Stats | Quotes | Gallery - Game | Gallery - Youth Clinic
Video Coverage:
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Kirk Cousins is showing midseason form, hitting Mark Dell, B.J. Cunningham and Dion Sims for big plays as the Green team beat the White squad 17-10 in Michigan State's spring game.
Cousins, just the eighth sophomore to lead the Spartans in passing in the last 60 years, found Dell for 58, 44 and 27 yards. He also connected with Cunningham for the game's first score, an 18-yard catch-and-vault, and hit Sims for 37 yards.
Freshman Nick Hill had the game-winning score on a 3-yard run with 6:30 left. He also had the day's long run, a 31-yard dash, but fumbled the ball to White team cornerback Johnny Adams.
Edwin Baker brought the White team back within a touchdown on a nifty 17-yard catch-and-run on a pass from Andrew Maxwell with 1:43 left. But a potential tying drive ended at the Green 22.
Michigan State begins the 2010 season against Western Michigan on Sept. 4 and plays its first six games in the state, including a matchup with Florida Atlantic in Detroit and a visit to Michigan.
Additional Notes:
Prior to the spring game, the Spartan football program hosted the 2010 Youth Clinic on the Duffy Daugherty Practice Fields. More than 600 kids attended this year's event, which featured instruction from Spartan coaches and players.

In 2013, Apple will start making computers in America, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced Thursday -- after a hiatus of almost twenty years.
"We've been working for years on doing more and more in the U.S. Next year, we're going to do one of our existing Mac lines in the United States," Apple CEO Tim Cook told NBC's Brian Williams. He cited several components of the company's products that are already manufactured in America, notably the processors and screens in the iPhones.
"This iPhone … the engine in here is made in America. And not only are the engines in here made in America, engines are made in America and exported," Cook said. By engine, Cook was referring to the "A5" processors that power the phone, which are manufactured by Samsung in an Austin, Texas, facility.
"The glass on this phone is made in Kentucky," he added, a reference to the Corning Gorilla Glass built in a facility in Kentucky.
"Mr. Cook is correct: Corning does produce Gorilla Glass for Apple from our Harrodsburg, Ky., manufacturing plant," Dan Collins, vice president of communication for Corning, told FoxNews.com in May.
But Apple computers themselves haven't been made or even assembled in the U.S.A. for nearly two decades, since the company left its Elk Grove and Fremont, Calif., facilities and switched fully to Chinese manufacturing in 1994, along with the rest of the computer industry.
Apple is clearly already well on the way: Some of the latest iMacs from the company carry a sticker labeled "Assembled in America."
A quick tour of the Apple store in New York's Grand Central Station Wednesday revealed one new iMac with just such a sticker, brought to the location a week ago, a store employee told FoxNews.com, and likely one of the first produced iMacs. A sticker on a second, identical iMac says "Assembled in China," however.
Sources within the FTC told FoxNews.com they had heard that Apple was "in the process of getting approval to set up a plant in California in connection with these products," but could not confirm the information.
Members of the Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce did not return FoxNews.com phone calls.
Cook did not provide any additional details about where the manufacturing facility would be located, how many jobs it would create. But in an interview with Businessweek, Cook said the company would invest more than $100 million in the new project.
"We wanted to do something more substantial. So we'll literally invest over $100 million. This doesn't mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we'll be working with people, and we'll be investing our money."
Not all of the company's plans for America will be in California, however. Eve Richter, economic development and emerging technologies coordinator for the Austin, Texas, Chamber of Commerce, told FoxNews.com the company is planning to expand a facility in that city, known for its high tech and manufacturing industries.
"Apple is building an office, an 'Americas Operations Center,'" Richter told FoxNews.com. While that plant will create more than 3,600 jobs, she said, it is not a manufacturing facility.
"This project that I've talked about, where we'll do a Mac in the United States next year, this is a really good 'nother step for us," Cook told Williams. When asked whether manufacturing in the U.S. will add to the cost of products, Cook deferred the question, instead arguing that the real issue was about the labor pool.
It's not so much about the price as it is about the skills, etc. Over time, there are skills associated with manufacturing that have left the U.S.," Cook said.
"It's not a matter of bringing it back, it's a matter of starting it here," Cook said.

Deep laterally compressed bodies are generally silvery or golden in color, with a short adipose fin, jaws with a single row of sharp tricuspid sheering teeth and no molars. Other characids look somewhat similar but can be distinguished primarily by the dentition. Pacus (Colossoma spp.), and silver dollars (Metynnis spp.) as well as Myleus spp. and Mylossoma spp. have molar-like teeth used for crushing food. In telling Piranhas from Metynnis and other silver dollars, the angle of the jaw is a pretty good characteristic for sorting them...forward jutting lower jaw that forms a V at the angle is a piranha, even upper and lower jaw profile that forms a U at the angle of the jaw is not a piranha.
South America
Feeding Habits
Predatory, with their dentition they are able to bite pieces out of larger prey, as opposed to having to swallow their prey whole, as do most North American freshwater fishes. Often feed in schools and exhibit feeding-frenzy behavior.
Age and Growth
Most less than 2 pounds but up to 16 inches and 6 pounds.
The entire subfamily Serrasalminae is prohibited in Florida due to its predatory nature, human safety concerns and their proven ability to spawn and survive in south Florida.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) receives occasional reports of piranha being caught, but they almost always turn out to be a very similar-looking non native fish, called Pacu (Colosomma spp.), which look similar to piranha but have molar-like teeth and grow to much larger sizes. Due to their popularity in the aquarium industry, individual pacu have been collected a number of times from Florida waters.

Silver dollars are another group of characids that superficially resemble piranha but are primarily herbivorous with molar-like teeth.

FWC Facts:Pacu are often confused for piranha and can be differentiated by their flat teeth, which are designed for grinding nuts and berries.

Police Reports: January 2 - January 7, 2013
Published on Wed, Jan 9, 2013
Read More
January 2, 11:20 a.m.:
Officers were dispatched to a two-vehicle collision involving the U.S. Postal Service and Federal Express. The drivers were not competing for the quickest delivery, but their vehicles were inadvertently competing for the same piece of the parking lot and backed into one another. The postal service vehicle sustained damage to the left door and window and the Fed Ex vehicle sustained cosmetic damage to its rear crash bumper. The cost of repairs exceeded flat rate charges. A report was taken to document the incident.
January 2, 4:08 p.m.:
A resident called police to report having been harassed by two female neighbors in a nearby apartment. An officer listened to the reporting party's description of the event, and tried to advise the tenant that her neighbors had not crossed the line from freedom of speech to illegality on this particular occasion. The reporting party interrupted the explanation by hanging up on the officer before he could complete the conversation.
January 2, 7:20 p.m.:
An anonymous person called dispatch to report the traffic heading into Canada was backed up to H Street along State Route 543 and the traffic was not obeying the traffic light. An officer proceeded to the intersection and monitored the intersection to make sure traffic flowed properly.
January 3, 7:04 a.m.:
Police in Florida called Blaine Police Department, asking officers to contact a Blaine resident to see if they knew their car was in Orlando, Florida, and appeared to have been possibly stolen. An officer located and contacted the car owner at her home. It turned out she knew where her car was and that it had been damaged in a collision.
January 3, 12:28 p.m.:
An officer stopped a vehicle on Peace Portal Drive for speeding. Upon contact the motorist admitted that he shouldn't be driving, because the Department of Licensing had sent him a letter to that effect. The officer checked, and sure enough, the driver's privileges were suspended for an unpaid ticket. The Blaine resident was cited for speeding, failure to provide proof of insurance and driving while suspended. A licensed driver in the vehicle was permitted to take the wheel.
January 4, 9 a.m.:
Blaine Police learned that a group of demonstrators would be gathering in Peace Arch State Park for an event which might possibly impact the state park or the flow of traffic on I-5 at the border. Blaine officers worked with other agencies in the area developing contingency plans for traffic and crowd safety. On Saturday, January 5, officers worked with Washington State Parks, Customs and Border Protection and the demonstration attendees to make sure a safe time was had by all.
January 4, 9:14 a.m.:
An officer observed a car being stored unmoving on the public right of way in a parking stall at the curb in a residential area over the course of many days. He initiated an abandoned vehicle report, and the car will be impounded if the owner does not remove it from the street.
January 5, 1:55 a.m.:
An officer assisted U.S. Border Patrol field agents who contacted a man staggering along the centerline on H Street Road at Valley View. He was trying to walk home after drinking more than his share of alcohol over the evening. Rather than risk the man becoming some passing motorist's unintended hood ornament, an officer transported the inebriate home and left him in the care of his adult brother.
January 5, 12:29 p.m.:
An officer was dispatched when store employees apprehended a shoplifter at their business in the 1700 block of H Street. The 28-year-old Bellingham resident was contacted, arrested and released with a criminal citation and court date. His pilfered stash of pepperoni and energy drinks was recovered.
January 5, 1:29 p.m.:
Police were dispatched to a report of a domestic violence incident in progress at a house on Adelia Street. The arriving officers found the dispute was between two adult brothers and was not yet physical. The men were separated and left the residence to cool off.
January 5, 4:56 p.m.:
A business owner downtown called police after discovering that someone had intentionally caused damage by scraping the finish from the outside of his front doors. No suspects have been identified and extra patrols will be made to the business.
January 6, 6:49 p.m.:
Customs and Border Protection at Peace Arch Port of Entry intercepted a Friday Harbor man in possession of prescription medication without a prescription nor associated packaging. An officer arrested, cited and released the man pending his appearance in court.
January 6, 7 p.m.:
On a dark rainy Sunday evening an officer on patrol came upon an unattended car stopped in a roundabout on D Street. The two wheels lying on the shoulder, a jack lodged under the car and an axle lying on the ground suggested a failed attempt at a tire change. The officer placed flares and traffic cones to make the scene safe and the car's two occupants arrived on foot a short time later. The officer directed their tow truck driver in for a landing by cell phone, and the vehicle was removed within 15 minutes.
January 6, 7:50 p.m.:
A motorist called police after crashing into a light pole in the 800 block of Peace Portal Drive on a dark, rainy night. The driver was not impaired, and simply did not see the light pole as he turned off the road into a business driveway. The driver had already moved the car to a nearby auto mechanic's shop so the road was not blocked. The city light crew that responded estimated the damage to their pole to be about $600. The damage to the front of the driver's Saab sedan was over $750. The driver and his passenger were uninjured, and the event was closed with a state collision report.
January 7, 8:22 a.m.:
A resident called police asking that someone talk to his wife about her habit of using his bank account debit card without his permission. The officer let the lady know that her husband had called the police. He explained to both the husband and wife that Washington was a community property state and their property was assumed to belong equally to both unless they took legal action to change that.
January 7, 10:37 a.m.:
A resident found a young man sitting on Semiahmoo Parkway looking wet and cold and a long way from home. The resident picked the man up, got him some food, gave him some money, and brought him to the police station. Officers contacted the transient's mother, and she arranged for a bus ticket to get her son from Bellingham to her home in Puyallup. A police employee donated some warm dry clothes for the teenager to change into, and a reserve officer transported him to the bus station in Bellingham.

HOUSTON (AP) — Tesco Corp. said Monday that its first-quarter net income fell 39 percent, hurt by reduced rig activity in North America.
The Houston company, which provides technology and services for oil and natural gas drilling, earned $8.8 million, or 22 cents per share, for the three months ended March 31. That compares with $14.5 million, or 37 cents per share, a year ago.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected earnings of 25 cents per share.
Revenue fell 17 percent to $127.1 million from $152.4 million as results weakened in the top drives division because of a drop in the number of units sold and fewer fleet operating days.
But the performance still topped the $126.9 million that Wall Street expected.
Tesco shares finished at $12.71 on Friday. They have traded in a 52-week range of $8.70 to $16.21.

I honestly ask this question myself frequently. But I think it has to do with the vibe of the actual music and not the lyrics. Cuz people don't memorize or really hear the lyrics the first time they listen, they just vibin to the overall track. A lot of the "positive" or conscious hip hop shit has boom bap, out of date beats. It's like I listen to this heavy metal band called Soulfly, and if u just heard the music which is really really really hard, you'd prolly think it's some devil shit cuz it's extremely fast and heavy metal vibes but the lead singer is considered the "Bob Marley of Metal" since his lyrics are actually mad spiritual and positive. And that's why I like it. It's still really hard and he screams in anger but about the injustices of the world, not cuz his girlfriend left him or w/e lol.
I think its the same in hip hop. If you took Waka's beats and added a dope emcee to em, people would listen to it. I think the positive rappers needa just make better music.

Webster Parish School Board OKs North Webster Knights
Webster Parish will lay claim next year to the Knights of North Webster High School. The collaborative effort among the students attending the four schools that will be consolidated next year has proven that you don't need a round table to work together and to establish a sense of community – you just need the right attitude.
"And it was amazing to see (students) work, talk and create together," Webster Parish School Board (WPSB) Secondary Supervisor Morris Busby said. "There was a wonderful atmosphere and there is no doubt they are going to get along.Subscribe to Read!

What Your Nails Say About Your Health (cont.)
Fox agrees there is no need to run to the nearest cardiologist if your nail beds turn red. "It could very well be from nail polish," he says. Before assuming the worst, it's important to look at more common explanations, such as bruises, bleeding beneath the nail, and fungal infections.
When to See a Dermatologist
Many common nail disorders stem from fungal infections, which can cause the nails to crack, peel, and change color and texture. These infections often prove difficult to treat and may require professional help, including prescription antifungal medications. Fox says it's best to see a dermatologist if symptoms persist, especially if the nails start to dislodge from the base or you experience pain and swelling.
Changes in texture, shape, or color that aren't due to a bruise or fungal infection, including irregular growth, pitting or holes in the nails, dark brown streaks beneath the nail and cuticle, or long-standing warts on the nail bed are particular concerns. According to Lior, they can indicate skin cancer. "Warts around the nails have a tendency to develop into squamous cell cancer," she tells WebMD. "If patients see a dark discoloration involving the cuticle, then we worry about melanoma," the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Fox advises reporting these types of changes to a specialist as soon as possible. "Dermatologists are well-trained in deciphering between innocuous and serious nail conditions, as well as determining when a change requires further testing."
Tips for Strong, Healthy Nails
To strengthen your nails, avoid infections, and improve their appearance, try the following tips:
Finally, ask your doctor to take a look at your nails during your next checkup. Fox says this is becoming more routine "because the nails offer such a unique window into the health of our bodies."

5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
Tempur-Pedic International
Another stock insiders are very active in here is Tempur-Pedic International (TPX), a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of premium mattresses and pillows. Insiders are buying this stock into some extreme weakness here, since shares are down by 38% so far in 2012.
Tempur-Pedic International has a market cap of $1.92 billion and an enterprise value of $2.5 billion. This stock trades at a cheap valuation, with a trailing price-to-earnings of 10.53 and a forward price-to-earnings of 10.40. Its estimated growth rate for this year is -12.3%, and for next year it's pegged at 11.5%. This is not a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $134.20 million and its total debt is $683.71 million.A beneficial owner just bought 528,410 shares, or about $16.27 million worth of stock, at $30.44 to $31.50 per share. From a technical perspective, TPX is currently trading below its 200-day moving average and above its 50-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been uptrending very strong for the last three months, with shares moving from a low of $20.70 to its recent high of $36.11 a share. During that uptrend, shares of TPX have mostly made higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed TPX within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. If you're bullish on TPX, then I would look for long-biased trades as long as its trending above $30 a share, and then once it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $34.29 to $36.11 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1,909,600 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then TPX could easily re-fill some of its gap down zone from back in June that started near $45 a share.

With a 13.1 inch tall mid-sized model, Helical Robotics's HR-MP series robots can scale immense wind turbines to inspect them for damage. Unlike the similar tethered prototype GE and International Climbing Machines began developing last year, these wheeled robots are wireless. Controlled by a radio signal and viagra for cheap equipped with digital cameras, the climbing robots may serve to replace high powered telescopes used to inspect wind turbines from the ground, which grow less effective as towers get taller and blades get longer. Remote controlled climbing robots also offer a safer, more practical alternative to www.massing.de inspectors climbing up themselves.
Weighing 42 pounds, the HR-MP20 model (pictured above) can carry up to 20 pounds of sensors and other equipment, has a top climbing speed of 43.6 feet per minute, and, according to Helical Robotics, offers a radio control range of 2500 feet. Using five neodymium magnets, the robot is capable of inexpensive cialis clinging to curved metal surfaces ranging from 7 feet in diameter to flat planes. Controlled by a technician on the ground, once the HR-MP20 scales a tower, it can navigate onto the blades for inspection.

Good Question: What Kind of Cookie Is This?
Here's an interesting case of identify-the-cookie from Marcus in Oslo. Can you help him?
I'm looking for your help identifying a cookie made of almonds (I think). It is a little bit hard on the outside and soft/chewy on the inside. The cookie is dusted with sugar and it is delicious and the perfect companion to your espresso. I live in Oslo, Norway but I can't imagine that it is a local thing. The sign in front of the cookie in the cafe said Brutti ma buoni, which means something like ugly but tasty.
He continues:
The nice thing about it is the soft chewy center and the sugar dusted and a little harder outside. I've seen it in two other Italian coffe shops here in Oslo. But they won't tell me anything about them. When I search the net, the result is a lot of cookies but none looking like this.
OK, cookie sleuths and Italian bakers: any ideas? Do you have a recipe for Marcus? We do want to point out this meringue-based recipe from Mario Batali:
• Ugly But Good Cookies: Brutti ma Buoni
It looks like these cookies are meringue-based, so they can be shaped very differently — flattened, peaked, squished, or mounded up.

(Image: Marcus via email)
23 Comments
There is a nice recipe in Carol Fields' The Italian Baker.
This one may look a little more like yours (which look a little browner than an all-almond version would) --
It has some ground hazelnuts
Call me crazy, but maybe one of the 2500 google search results for "Brutti ma buoni" recipe could be a place to start?
Another tip, via Taza Chocolate on Twitter:
Almond Snowball Cookies
Possibly a type of "Osse di Morti"....Bones of the Dead cookies? They are traditionally made for All Saints' Day in Italy:
To me, it looks like one of these roasted flour cookies that I saw on Chocolate & Zucchini: http://chocolateandzucchini.com/archives/2008/04/squeeze_cookies_a_roasted_flour_experiment.php
Are they something like these Chewy Amaretti Cookies?
Brutti Ma Buoni (literally "ugly but good") are an Italian specialty (obvious, I know). They're usually shaped by dropping spoonfuls onto the baking sheet. I've never seen any shaped like that before. Typically, it's a meringue (egg white and sugar) cookie with chopped or slivered almonds folded in; but it looks like those probably use ground almonds (almond flour). I'm not sure how they got the batter so firm that they could hand-shape them like that. Maybe the bakers are just very gentle?
Unless, of course, they're mislabelled. The Osse di Morti suggestion seems like a good lead. This recipe from Chez Panisse ( http://www.thecookbookcritic.com/archives/2005/12/chez_panisse_de_1.html ) apparently produces a firm dough (with almonds), which is supposed to be hand-shaped and coated in powdered sugar. Seems like a fit.
Well, in any case, congratulations, it seems you've found a very unique cookie! Enjoy them while you can!
Thank you everybody for helping me and giving me links. Iv'e been looking at lots of recepies after finding the name. When I have tested some of the recepies found when searchin for "Brutti ma buoni" the come out as more crispy than soft and chewy. But this http://www.foodtv.ca/recipes/recipedetails.aspx?dishid=6609 suggested by mschatelaine looks like the inside of the cookie im looking for. I will make a testbatch on this tomorrow. I'll keep you posted on the result.
Once again thank you for your time.
I've had those before too! They're so good, unfortunately I can't remember the name. the woman who made them, sold them from a small catering service she'd just opened.
I understand your urge to find them, they are uniquely good.
Marcus, where did you buy them? I'm in Oslo too, and I want to try them.
Ossi di morderi?
Oh my goodness. I bought one of these cookies in a small Italian deli in Salt Lake City and having been trying to recreate them for a year! They referred to them as Angel Clouds. They imported them from a patissaria (sp?) in Italy. I have the link to the manufacturer but its all in Italian and there is not a recipe. I did look at the bag in the store and the ingredients were Almond Flour, Butter, Egg Whites, and Sugar. But no amounts. I have been experimenting in my own kitchen trying to recreate but every cookie has spread and turned crisp. No no no. The Angel Cloud cookie is chewy, slightly dry on the outside, with powdered sugar dusting. They look similar to your picture. Actually, there is a picture on my website www.themorsel.blogspot.com
Anyway, if you are really desperate, I can buy them and ship but they charge US$1 per cookie at the store!!!
I would also guess they are ossi di morti a charming Italian cookie delightfully delicious in spite of translating as bones of the dead. This is one of my favorite cookies- I am gluten intolerant so have some for me- then I will say to you- jeg elsker dag men ikke fur al tid- I have no idea how to spell in Norwegian so if instead of saying that I love you but not for long-( after all it's a good cookie but just a cookie) you should find that I have written something like I enjoy motor oil on my silk blouse or some other absurdity please go by the English translation of my sentiments. If you are ever in San Francisco Victoria Pastry shop has some that will usually make Italians proud.
When you have stuffed yourself silly start eating Cannelle- these are from France and will make you wiggle with glee.
@ Solvi
In Oslo you can find them at EGER cafe, Øvre Slottsgate. Its the new cafe in the far bottom end of the high fashion shopping center EGER. And sometimes you can find them at Lille Oliven, Pilestredet 75 and at La Famiglia, Thorvald Meyers gate 25B.
My tests has the same result as you desciribe they become krisp not shewie. I will try one of the sugested recepies tonight and get back here with the result.
Marcus --
the secret to the chewiness in nut meringue based cookies is in the humidity; the drier the cookie, the crisper.
First try putting the cookies you made into a sealed plastic container for a day or two (maybe even with a slice of apple) and see whether that makes them chewier.
In any case, to get the look of that cookie from David Rocco, you should try underbaking them a little. This is something you have to play with -- each oven is different, and so just following a recipe will not necessarily yield the effect you are looking for. You will probably need to play with whatever recipe you settle on -- adjust the baking time or temperature. The factors include how large the cookie is -- if you change that part of a recipe, it will also affect the chewiness -- if smaller and thinner, it will be crisper, etc.
Also, sugar content is key -- the sugar makes whipped whites shiny, smooth and cohesive.
Just some thoughts for you to play around with!
Thanks Marcus. I found them at Il Moro (where Bogstadveien, Hegdehaugsveien and Professor Dahls gate meets) too. It was yummy but perhaps a bit too sweet for me.
I think it tasted a lot like kransekake ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kransekake for you non-Norwegians), but a bit softer and sweeter.
The result of the first test.
YES! We are getting there... I will do some modifications and will get back with the result.
This is the recepie i used:
1/2 pound (225 g) almonds
1 cup (100 g) flour
1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
Lemon zest, vanilla extract, or orange water
Baked 10 minutes at 175 degrees
the perfect taste is not there yet. But the form and the chewyness was perfect. I want it to taste a little more like marzipan.
These look like Ricciarelli, a Sienese/Tuscan confection. Here's my recipe (modifications based on a Recipezaar find):
Ricciarelli (Sienese Christmas Cookies) Recipe #185333
These are delightfully moist little almond cookies which come from a centuries old Italian recipe. There are many alternatives you can do to the base recipe. The photo shows plain Ricciarelli laced with Rum and Ricciarelli with orange and lemon, dipped in dark chocolate. I've made boxes of these cookies for people and they always seem to come back for more!
by JustEmma
12-16 Cookies
20 min 10 min prep
2 large egg whites
6 ounces ground almonds (Almond Flour or Meal) (I used 1.5 cups of almond meal, not ¾ cup—for almond macaroon-like cookies use 1.25, for denser, use 1.5)
1 tablespoon plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups icing sugar (Powdered Sugar)
1 teaspoon almond extract
rum or brandy or Amaretto
1/2 orange, zest of or 1 lemon, zest of
1 tablespoon candied orange or lemon peel
12 ounces of good dark chocolate
Sieve together the Icing Sugar, Flour and Baking Power into a bowel, then mix in the Ground Almonds.
In a separate bowl, add a couple of drops of almond extract to the egg whites and then whisk until stiff peaks form.
Stir the stiffened egg whites into the dry mixture until a sticky 'dough' is formed.
If you are trying the options, at this point add either a tablespoon of mixed orange/lemon peel OR the zest of half a lemon/orange OR a tablespoon of Rum, Brandy or Amaretto.
Sprinkle a board with sifted Icing Sugar and take a desertspoon full of the dough, roll in the Icing Sugar and form into a ball. Flatten the ball a little with the back of a fork. Continue until all your dough is gone (the amount above should make 12-16 cookies).
Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper and place your dough balls on, taking care to leave space for 'spread' during cooking.
Pop into an oven that's been preheated to Gas Mark 6 (200C, 390F) until golden brown. This should take approximately 10-12 minutes.
Also, forgot to add, the "pinched"/diamond shape are traditional for ricciarelli. That's what they look like/are likely trying to emulate here...
OK, I found it!!! http://cuochella.blogspot.com/2009/04/pizzicotti-di-mandorle.html Its in Italian but I figured out the ingredients and recipe using a translator. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will send you the recipe in English. Its basically 1 cp peeled raw almonds, 1 cup sugar processed to death in a food processor. Then mix in 1 egg white and a little lemon zest. Roll a walnut size ball, pinch with three fingers, then roll in powdered sugar and place on nonstick pan or parchment paper. There is a trick though, you must let the cookies sit over night so they don't collapse when cooking. Bake at 350 for 10 min til brown. Let cool and then dust again with powdered sugar if you like.
I have been reading with interest the recipes. I am desperately looking for the ossi dei morti recipe like they have at Victoria's Bakery in San Francisco. The cookies are hard like a thin bone on the outside and inside lookes like the inside of an old bone with craters and holes. There are nuts, probably almonds or hazelnuts with an almond flavor. The trick to these is dropping the dough by teaspoons on a cookie sheet and drying them over night before baking in the oven. I have found many recipes but never have found the exact one.

Football at Florida Atlantic University was a newly hatched and likely crazy notion back in 1998 when Howard Schnellenberger got an idea to grow interest in his nonexistent team.
I had to have some type of poster to put up around campus, he recalled Monday in that resonant baritone rumble of his. It turned out to be a harbinger.
The poster was entitled FAU: Football In Paradise. It showed four young boys photographed sitting on the sideline at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, looking up at the sky as if daydreaming their futures. Up in the clouds, under a rainbow, a receiver drawn in an FAU Owls uniform was about to catch a perfect pass ahead of a cornerback who happened to be wearing orange and green.
And it looked like that defender had a U on his helmet but you couldnt quite tell because of the clouds, Schnellenberger said, eyes shining, trademark mustache lifting slightly at the corners.
See, the old coachs dream for FAU was that the program would have symbolically arrived when it finally saw Miami on its schedule. That was the carrot.
Now, 15 years after the chase began, that harbinger Schnellenbergers vision and hope finally comes true this Friday night at Dolphins stadium.
The Miami Hurricanes play Florida Atlantic for the first time ever to open this college season, and anybody who knows either program might as well call this what it is: Howard Schnellenberger Week in South Florida. Because it was this man who was really starting both programs at the end of the day, as UM coach Al Golden put it Monday.
Schnellenberger did that figuratively for the Canes, as the iconic symbol of UMs 1983 national championship, the first one, the one that started it all.
He did that literally for FAU, as the man who founded the program from scratch and left it two years ago with a little gem of a new on-campus stadium as his legacy.
This was the day I dreamed of, he said. Miami vs. FAU.
Schnellenberger kids about being in my declining years at 79. But it is no joke how right it feels that this occasion happened with the coach still around to enjoy it.
This will be the first of three meetings over four years, hopefully with many more to come.
Who will the patriarch be rooting for Friday night? The answer may surprise you. That he isnt feigning neutrality may also surprise you.
My heart is at FAU, he said. Then, that sly smile again: Of course it is. Itd be ridiculous me pulling for those powerful, five-time national-champion bullies playing lil old guys who are still wet behind the ears!
Schnellenberger also is being pragmatic, since FAU has paid him to be an ambassador at large spearheading fundraising efforts ever since he retired from coaching after 11 years at the Boca Raton university following the 2011 season.
Make no mistake, though. His five years at UM (1979-83) own a piece of his heart, too. Thatll hit home as the 30th anniversary of that 83 championship team is marked at halftime of Fridays game, after a private reunion on campus Thursday night.
Double honor
Schnellenberger will be an honorary captain of both teams at the pregame coin flip. UM invited him to be its honorary captain: I said only if I could serve in that position on the other side, too.
He plans to spend the first half watching from the UM side of the stadium and the second half on the north side among Owls fans.
I asked if he thinks Friday night will be emotional for him.
That can be a complicated question for some people. Howard, from the foghorn voice to the bears build, conveys a gruff persona. He is of a different generation. He learned under cold-eyed, taciturn giants such as Bear Bryant and Don Shula. He is a mans man of the John Wayne type.
I get emotional as hell inside but I dont show anything to anybody, he said. Because thats what a head coach does.
I asked if he ever cries during a movie.
Yeah I dont do that, he said. To a leader of men, emotion has to be used, distributed wisely. Its like a poker face. Youve got to control your emotions.
This has been a big (and dare say emotional?) couple of weeks for Schnellenberger.
Last Tuesday he was with the 1972 Perfect Season Dolphins on their White House visit, as that teams former offensive coordinator under Shula.
That was like the pony on Christmas that you didnt expect, he said of the honor 41 years after the fact. The whole thing was edifying.
(Howard says things like that. Like harbinger, and edifying. Sometimes you wonder at what point the college professor took a wrong turn and wound up in the athletic department. It is no wonder he is a popular hire for speaking engagements, including one to the FBI Academy just last month in Orlando. Something about Howard is grandiose.)
Schnellenberger volunteers he wasnt a Barack Obama voter but adds, I went because I was invited by the commander in chief, and it was a great privilege to answer his welcome. You absorb the greatness of the event.
Yet that 72 Dolphins visit would not be as special to Schnellenberger as this UM-FAU week is. That wasnt his team. These are.
You feel different when you become the supreme commander, he said. When youre second in command, its his ballgame. You take great joy in it, but that was Shulas team. That was my training ground for things to come.
So it was those things to come that Schnellenberger mentions when you ask what he is proudest of in a coaching career that spanned 53 seasons. He mentions three stops bookended by UM and FAU.
Proudest moments
From a success standpoint, the thing down in Miami has to ring as the crowning project, he said. But from a human standpoint it was going back to my hometown of Louisville and bringing that program to the point we did [from 1985-94].
That was twice as hard as Miami, because at Miami we just had to get that program out of a recession. Then it was something different entirely with FAU, to create something out of nothing. Up here [in Boca], we had to go through foreplay, inception, birth, baptism, confirmation, Bat Mitzvah, childhood everything.
Schnellenberger reflects upon two career mistakes he made, two terrible decisions, he said Monday.
The first was leaving UM after the 83 season to take over a Miami-based USFL team that never happened. Had he not, whos to say Schnellenberger would not have been the Canes coach for all five of their national titles or more?
If he stayed, whats he going to win here, seven, 10 national titles? Canes offensive line coach Art Kehoe wondered Monday. Kehoe played and got his coaching start under Schnellenberger.
My junior we were going to drop football and he goes from that to a national championship, Kehoe said. Hes the main fabric of everything here.
Schnellenberger said his second mistake was leaving Louisville after the 94 season for one ill-fated, miserable year at Oklahoma after which he resigned under pressure.
Lifting himself up a few years later to shepherd the birth of FAU football was an antidote to what happened to me out at Oklahoma, he said. It cured me.
Now Schnellenbergers epic, ebbing career comes full circle with UM vs. FAU. He and wife Beverlee had three children, losing one to complications of cancer in 2008. They have three grandchildren, but two other of his cherished offspring will be playing on Friday night.
I asked if the decades since that 83 championship have seemed to fly by. No, it seems like 30 years, he said. Weve had a full life.
That lifes full impact on football in South Florida has been not less than profound, when you consider a time line and imprint stretching from the Dolphins Perfect Season to the maiden UM championship to that very first FAU football poster touting a team then alive only in one mans imagination.
Remember the rainbow on top of that original poster?
This week, Howard Schnellenberger finds the end of it, at last.

Generic Name: fingolimod (fin GOE li mod)
Brand Name: Gilenya
What is fingolimod?
Fingolimod is an immunosuppressant. It works by keeping immune cells trapped in your lymph nodes so they can't reach the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
Fingolimod is used to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults. This medication will not cure MS, it will only decrease the frequency of relapse symptoms.
Fingolimod may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Before you take fingolimod, tell your doctor if you have an infection, a very slow heart rate, low blood pressure or a history of fainting, high blood pressure, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, asthma or other breathing disorder, congestive heart failure, heart rhythm disorder, a serious heart condition, or if you have ever had an eye condition called uveitis.

To be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects, your blood cells, blood pressure, liver function, and lung function will need to be tested often. You may also need to eye exams. Fingolimod can have long lasting effects on your body. Do not miss any follow up visits to your doctor for blood tests or eye exams.

severe heart failure (that required you to be in the hospital);
"AV block" or sick sinus syndrome (unless you have a pacemaker);
a recent (within the past 6 months) heart attack, stroke, "mini-stroke" or TIA, chest pain (unstable angina), or other serious heart problem; or

Trojan records, founded in 1968, was one of many labels in the United Kingdom that fed the ska, rocksteady and reggae craze sweeping the country. Founder Lee Gopthal had collaborated with Chris Blackwell of Island Records on mail order sales, which prompted Gopthal to start a record store called Musicland (which became part of the Muzik City Record Shops chain). Trojan's name comes from the Croydon-built Trojan truck that was used by Duke Reid in Jamaica, which had Duke Reid - The Trojan King of Sounds painted on the sides.

Fire officials in Fort Wayne say a couple whose home caught on fire dropped their young children out a second-floor window into the arms of people outside, then jumped from the window themselves.
Assistant Fire Chief Michael Miller says 23-year-old Natalie Church, 34-year-old Christopher Dunning and their children ages 4 months and 1½ went to a hospital in stable condition.
The fire was discovered about 7 a.m. Thursday after smoke detectors awoke the couple. It was caused by a malfunction in the power cord of a window air conditioning unit on the first floor.
Firefighters extinguished the fire quickly but it caused heavy smoke damage.

The two women from Washington state boxing for their Olympic lives in the U.S. Olympic trials this week fared as well as could be expected Monday night. Both Queen Underwood and Alex Love won their first fights at Northern Quest Resort & Casino at Airway Heights.
Underwood came out strong and took out Betha Aracil, from new York, in four rounds. She won the decision 22-12 and will face Mikaela Mayer, from Los Angeles, on Tuesday.
"The first fight is always the hardest fight for me – getting into the rhythm," said Underwood. "Tomorrow with the crowd coming out… this is an amazing event, so tomorrow I'll be more prepared."
Underwood said Mondays fight was a tense one for her. It was the first time she had fought with someone from her family in the audience.
"This is home, there's a lot of nerves," she said. "There's a lot outside of the ring that I'm doing – especially for this event. So, this is the first fight and I look forward to doing better."
Love's fight also went to four rounds. The flyweight fighter from Monroe, Wash. put Taversha Norwood, from Georgia, on the ropes and won the contest 24-15. She will fight Marlen Esparza, from Houston, on Tuesday.
"My nerves were crazy, exciting," said Love. "You try to calm down, but I settled in. It feels good. I got the warm-up fight out of the way."
The 24 women are vying for a shot at the international competition in China in May. That competition will be the qualifying tournament to get into the Olympics in London. The 2012 Summer Olympics will be the first time women's boxing will be included in the games.
