Read an Excerpt
Cara Taylor wiped sweaty hands against the tight satin of her skirt, hoping she didn't leave an imprint. Tonight was the night. The biggest night of her career as a croupier thus far, and she'd just been dealt a blow she wasn't sure she could recover from.
Bobby wanted her to throw the game. Cara took a deep breath to steady herself. She could do this. She had to do this. The men who would arrive at her table in just a few minutes were some of the wealthiest, most daring men in the world. In many ways, though they made her job possible, she loathed them. They were accustomed to waging millions of dollars on one turn of the cards, and just as accustomed to losing as they were winning. This was child's play for them.
Did it matter if she was the instrument of their losses tonight? Not one of them would go home poor. Not one of them understood what it was like to lose everything they had, to fight and struggle for survival on a daily basis.
Cara knew. She'd been fighting to save her family since Hurricane Katrina blew through New Orleans over five years ago and devastated their home. And not only their home; Katrina had also blown away the diaphanous veil obscuring her father's dark secrets. With her father's betrayal and her mother's subsequent breakdown, it had been Cara's responsibility as the oldest to make sure her family was safe and well. It had taken a long time and a lot of worknot to mention putting her own dreams on holdbut she'd gotten them back on their feet.
Tonight, she finally had a chance to put financial worries behind them for good. She would set Mama up with enough money to make sure the house was paid for and the exorbitant insurance premiums covered. Since the hurricane, insurance companies had raised their rates through the roof. And Mama didn't want to move farther inland.
Though it often frustrated Cara, she also understood it in a perverse way: New Orleans was home. Mama had been born and raised there, and she couldn't leave it. Nor, it seemed, could Cara's sister, Evie. She chewed the inside of her lip. If not for Evie staying home to help Mama and their little brother, Remy, Cara wouldn't be here. And since she was here, she owed it to them all to do everything she could to secure their future.
After tonight, Remy would continue to have the specialized care he needed, which was the most important consideration of all. The bonus Bobby had promised her when she'd agreed to come to Nice for the opening of his new casino would finally enable her to achieve all the goals she'd had when she'd left home.
But first she had to throw this game.
"You understand what you have to do," an oily voice said from behind her.
Cara turned smoothly, hoping her distress didn't show on her face. "Of course."
Bobby Gold winked as he tapped her on the ass. Cara did her best not to flinch. She'd never liked Bobby, but he was the king of the casinos in Vegasand abroad, as this new multi-billion-dollar facility located in an old French palace in the center of Nice proved.
When she'd begun working as a croupier, it had been for one of Bobby's rivals. It hadn't taken long for Bobby to find her and offer her a job. She'd refused at firstbut money, and her desperate need for it, had eventually won out. And, other than the occasional leering pass from the man, she'd had no reason to regret her decision. Until now.
Bobby's gold tooth caught the light as he smiled. She'd never been sure if it was an affectation, or if the man really needed a gold tooth. Nevertheless, it disgusted her.
"Keep the players happy, Cara. Use those beautiful breasts of yours to distract them as much as possible. And keep an eye on the man I point out to you. When the stakes get high enough, he'll give you the signal."
Cara's face burned, but whether from Bobby's casual suggestion she use her breasts to distract the players or from the idea of cheatingof going against her entire moral compassshe wasn't quite sure. She suspected it was a bit of both. Cheating wasn't in her lexicon, especially after the devastation her father had caused. Adultery was a different kind of cheating, but the results were the same. It was simply wrong.
And she wasn't a cheater, period.
Cara slid a nervous hand down her skirt once more. She wanted to pull her shirt closed a bit more, but she wouldn't do so while Bobby leered at her. Usually, her uniform consisted of a long skirt and a high white-collared shirt with a bow tie.
Tonight, Bobby had given her a new uniform. Short, tight black satin mini, and deep-V crimson silk blouse. The bow tie was still a part of the uniform, only now it was around her bare throat.
Just get through tonight, Cara, and you can go back home and never see Bobby Gold again.
A pang of wistfulness shot through her at the thought of leaving Nice before she'd even gotten to explore it. She'd put her dreams of adventure on hold after Katrina's devastation, and now that she'd finally gotten to go somewhere wonderful, she was about to leave again.
"I'll do what I can, boss," she said.
Bobby's face grew hard, his gaze cold and cruel. She'd seen that look before. A shiver washed over her at the thought of all Bobby was capable of.
"Make sure that you do, Cara. I'd hate to have to punish you."
Before she could answer, he turned away and strode toward the bar. Cara let out a long breath. She turned back to the table as the black velvet curtain to the private entrance parted. A tall blond man strode into the room and went straight for the bar. She could hear his accent as he ordered. German. Count von Hofstein, then.
As the minutes trickled by, several more men entered the luxurious room that Bobby had set aside for this very special game. A fat sheikh, who wore a headdress with his three-piece suit and sported a huge ruby ring on the index finger of his left hand. An African man, tall and handsome with luminous ebony skin, came in and took a seat at the table. One by one, the seats filled. The men were quiet, contemplating the game perhaps.
When there was only one chair left, the curtain parted again and another man entered. Cara's pulse kicked up. He was tall, lean and impeccably dressed in a bespoke tuxedo. His hair was darkblack or brownand his eyes were the most piercing shade of silver she'd ever seen. His jaw was strong, handsome, his lips almost cruel in their sensuality. Everything about him screamed money.
And everything about his demeanor said he didn't give a damn about anyone or anything.
Cara shivered as a chill prickled down her spine. She'd never had quite this reaction to the sight of a man before. She'd moved with her ex to Las Vegas, but she hadn't done so because her heart had fluttered when James had entered a room.
This man's expression, so cold and distant, grew even chillier as he looked at her. She quickly glanced away, cursing herself for staring.
Great. He probably thought she was one of those women working in a casino in order to snag a rich husband. She'd had more than one man assume she was looking for a good time, but she'd quickly set the record straight whenever any of them assumed she was up for sale along with the poker chips.
A touch on her arm startled her, and she jumped, her heart slamming into her ribs. Bobby pulled her away from the table. Cara folded her arms over her breasts, hating the way Bobby looked down her shirt, and hating that he knew it bothered her by the way he grinned at her.
"Don't get any ideas of being noble, Cara," he said. "That bonus I promised you will go a long way toward helping your sweet mama, so make sure you remember it." He leaned in close, ran a fat hand down her arm. "The man with the red tie is Brubaker. When it's time, pass the play to him. He'll take care of the rest."
"Yes, boss," she said, hoping her revulsion didn't show.
Cara returned to the table and took out her deck of cards. After announcing the rules of the game, she shuffled. Then she passed the deck to the player on her right, who also shuffled. After a series of shuffles and cutting the deck, Cara dealt the cards.
The man with the silver eyes was directly across from her. He picked up his cards. There was no flash of emotion, no indication whether he was pleased or irritated, before he set them back down. During her time in Vegas, she'd seen her share of card sharks and amateurs. She'd always been able to tell what a player thought of his hand by the telltale little signs she'd observed at countless tables. But this man was unreadable.
Until he looked up and caught her gaze. His eyes bored into hers, and her pulse skittered wildly. For the first time tonight, she was glad she wasn't wearing a high collar. Because she'd have been sweating beneath this man's gaze if she had been.
His mind did not appear to be on the cards lying in front of him. Slowly, his gaze slipped over her, lingering on her breasts, before sliding back up. His regard didn't repulse her the way Bobby's had. No, if anything, her skin tingled with awareness and heat.
Cara dropped her eyes to the green baize of the table. She had to concentrate on this game, had to be prepared to perform her task when the time came. She didn't have the leisure to gape at gorgeous men.
Gorgeous, useless men
Jack Wolfe thumbed the cards he held and waited for someone to call. He hadn't spent time at a card table lately, but when he'd heard Bobby Gold was opening a casino right here in Nice, where Jack had been spending a great deal of time for his business lately, he'd been unable to resist.
He and Bobby didn't know each other well, but they went back a long wayand not a moment of it was pleasant. Bobby never missed an opportunity to spew his rhetoric about lazy, inbred British aristocrats and their inability to manage their money. Jack knew it was a dig at his long-dead father, and though he couldn't care less what manner of disparaging things anyone said about that sorry excuse for a human being, Jack couldn't turn down the chance to beat Bobby at his own game.
Jack didn't frequent casinosthe stock market was far more challengingbut tonight was a special case. He'd once gone head-to-head with Bobby in a game of chance. It hadn't even been serious, just a random event set up by one of Jack's friends who'd been telling Bobby that Jack was a whiz with cards. Bobby, as a new casino owner at the time, had been unable to resist. And when he'd repeatedly lost everything, he'd grown angry.
Yes, Bobby Gold was a mean brute of a man. Jack didn't need the money, but he would certainly enjoy watching Gold's fat face turn purple when he won the jackpot. He'd thought Gold might try to keep him out of the game, but the man merely nodded at him. It made Jack wonder what Gold had up his sleeve.
Cards weren't a challenge at all, not any longer. It had been years since Jack had enjoyed a game, but he'd never lost the ability to read those around him. And he never would. Reading people was second nature to him. Growing up, he'd needed to be able to tell what someonehis fatherwas about to do based on the twitch of a muscle, the tick of an eyelid or the jerk of the lips. Then, it had been a survival skill. That it was also a skill which translated to the card table was something he'd found out much later.
These days he preferred the high stakes of stock trading, the rush when he made a killer deal and the satisfaction of doing it all again just a short while later. The sums were much greater, the thrill much more intense. And the need to read people, still very necessary, was relegated to determining the behavior of the pack.
Jack looked up at the croupier again and lifted an eyebrow when she glanced away nervously. The instant he'd walked behind the curtain and seen her standing there, in her little top and even littler skirt, he'd felt like the evening would be much more interesting than he'd originally anticipated.
He'd watched with interest when Gold had taken her away for a word. Her body language was defensive and her face closed off, though he'd thought he'd seen a flicker of unease in the way she'd swept her long hair off her shoulder. When Bobby leaned in and ran a hand down her arm, Jack had to stifle the urge to leap across the table and punch the man in the face.
As the hand finished and the sexy croupier called the first break in play, the men got up from the table and filtered to various corners of the luxuriously appointed room. Some whipped out cell phones while others chatted quietly.
Jack didn't move. He stretched out his long legs beneath the table and took a sip of his drink. Mineral water with a twist of lime while he was playing. He didn't drink alcohol when he needed his senses to be sharp.
The croupier straightened the chips with quick movements. Jack found himself mesmerized by the elegance of her long-fingered hands, the way she seemed to caress the chips before letting them go. He imagined those hands on his body and was instantly glad he'd decided to remain seated.

The science of smiling: A guide to human's most powerful gesture
Why did the Mona Lisa become one of the most famous paintings of all time? That's a question an incredible amount of people have asked themselves in the past. And one possible answer is this: because of her unique smile.
Leo Widrich
Notes that the smile is known as the expression representing the most intense positive state of emotion.
For a smile to emerge on your face, neural pathways fire, traveling from the brain's cortex to the stem. Neural impulses then transmit the signals to the cranial and facial muscles causing you to smile.
The smile, however, does not end with the curvuture of the mouth. The smile triggers neural impulses that fire back to the brain, creating a positive feedback loop. This generates further positive emotion. So, the brain tells your muscles to smile, and a report is sent back to the brain which causes further positive emotion and reinforces the smiling.
Few rewards stimulate the mind more intensely than a smile, not even chocolate or exercise. The positive effects are many, including a reduction in stress throughout your body and brain, similar in some ways to getting a good sleep, studies have demonstrated.
Children smile more often than adults, and this is one of the reasons we enjoy being around them. They smile frequently which causes us to smile more. Small children average about 400 smiles in a day, while a happy adult only smiles 40 - 50 times. The true average is closer to 20 per day, which may say a lot about the high levels of depression in adults.
Smiling does more than simply demonstrate or cause joy. It decreases stress hormones that affect our body and mind in unhealthy ways. Smiles rid our bodies of negative hormones.
One interesting note is that, of course, smiles can be faked, but humans are able to detect them, and the fake smiles do not have the powerful physiological effects that true smiles create.

Travers 147: Too Much of a Good Thing?
LOS ANGELES, August 27, 2016--HRI blogger Tom Jicha accomplished what many racing writers attempt but precious few achieve when he presented his
for the 2016 Travers.
To me, his unequivocal selection of Arrogate appeared the handicapping equivalent of Babe Ruth's famously pointing to where he was about to deliver a home run.
While the DRF's Mike Beer also predicted the son of Unbridled Song's victory in his "Race of the Day" video, he didn't match Jicha's confidence or his vision as follows:
"… Arrogate, at 10-1, is the one who interests me most of anyone in the field. He's never run in a stakes but the stylish way he has won all three of his two-turn races, the most recent at 1-20, suggests still untapped brilliance.
Statistically, Arrogate mirrors the career of American Pharoah. He got beat in his sprint debut but he's been untouchable since. ..."
TJ is my new handicapping hero … at least until next week.
On a track that started to resemble Santa Anita when successive seven-furlong sprints shaded 1:21 on the broadcast timer (but not in the subsequent DRF charts), trainer Bob Baffert previewed his West Coast wizardry with a wire-to-wire win by Drefong in the King's Bishop under jockey Mike Smith.
When that Hall of Fame duo teamed up again for their Travers triumph, the rider completed an Alabama/Travers double, having won the former with another West Coast sensation, Songbird.

A Legacy That's Worth Leaving
LOS ANGELES, July 28, 2016—Steven Crist's retirement from the Daily Racing Form qualified him as the most newsworthy development of last week. Though better known as a Daily Racing Form executive and columnist, acclaimed author of betting books and influential horseplayer advocate, he had also worked as a New York Racing Assn. executive under then CEO, Kenny Noe Jr.
In a subsequent Q&A interview by the
Thoroughbred Daily News
, Crist candidly described the experience:
"… It was frustrating. I discovered there was this whole political side to the job. Kenny and I took a lot of early morning plane rides up to Albany to talk to dopey legislators. You had to do them favors or give them things. It was just horrible."
Asked about his impact when writing about New York racing and politics, he replied,
"… It's hard to feel any sense of accomplishment. It just gets worse and worse and it doesn't matter what they say… they're never held accountable for anything. What Andrew Cuomo has done, making a deal with NYRA and then taking it back, it's just disgraceful."
Crist's announcement came on the heels of another news-making development made by friend and former DRF colleague, Charles Hayward. The former NYRA CEO garnered
media attention
"the formation of Hayward Advisory Services LLC to assist racing companies grow their business through a strategic planning process and by introducing revenue and cost-saving initiatives."
This is Hayward's next step in an effort to restore his relevance in the wake of attempts to further assassinate his character by minions of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and assorted industry commentators.
In what some observers attribute to the Governor's 'agenda' to optimize state revenues from gambling through casinos at the expense of horse racing in the state, Hayward was fired upon the official discovery of NYRA's incontrovertible failure to lower takeout beyond the legislated sunset date for a temporary state-imposed increase.
Ironically, the wayward Hayward was condemned by e-mails from and to Crist, who had inquired about the issue at the behest of a DRF reader.

A Travers Performance for the Ages
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, August 28, 2016—
Dear Diary,
In the post-race press conference following the 147th running of the Travers, Dr. John Chandler of Juddmonte Farms, who within a half-hour's time saw Flintshire and Arrogate win two of the most prestigious races run at this storied course, was asked the meaning of Arrogate:
"Being arrogant," answered Chandler, "but not in an unpleasant sense… and not really a real word."
This description was totally apt, appropriate in the wake of what simply was one of the most dominatingly surreal performances in the history of Thoroughbred racing.
Hyperbole, you say? Fine.
Feel free designate another performance, other than Secretariat's 1973 Belmont Stakes, Seattle Slew's remarkable nose loss in the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup and Dr. Fager's world-record 1:32 1/5 mile in the 1968 Washington Park Handicap under 134 pounds.

Stars Shine: Good Horses = Good Racing = Good Business
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, August 21, 2016—
Dear Diary,
Who said you can't go home again? Like New Orleans, Saratoga is a place you feel more than see. It's as if you've never left, especially given five decades of prior experience.
In Saratoga, the horse that has the right of way at all times. Posted signs virtually everywhere tells you as much.
As for Saturday's racing, including the final two legs of a special Pick 4 wager that combined three Grade 1 stakes and a Grade 2, the final two legs at Del Mar, was spectacular.
Saturday was the kind of day when you feel sorry for all those people who just don't get it about the game. Even the non-stakes where highly competitive, featuring many tight finishes.
Betting notwithstanding, it boggles the brain that sports fans seem unwilling to appreciate the athleticism involved in the sport of Thoroughbred racing; the equines, the jockeys and, most significantly, the interaction between them.
On sun-baked afternoons from coast to coast, two SoCal based horses, Songbird and California Chrome, were so dominant they made graded stakes-winning rivals appear inferior by comparison.
Questions were answered. Songbird, indeed, can carry her speed a mile and a quarter, even if it took 26.99 seconds to close the deal.

Travers Day: A Veritable Feast for Everyone
Saratoga Springs, Aug. 25, 2016--Horse players are a tough crowd. Making them all happy is well nigh impossible.
(If you don't think so, read from the comments section of this site.)
However, Saturday's Travers might be able to turn the trick. The Midsummer Derby is loaded with star power for people who still get turned on by the sport. Every 3-year-old of consequence, save Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist, who is undergoing a "growth spurt," will be here.
That so many horses have the credentials to win will make it a super betting race for those who reduce champion thoroughbreds to "the two horse" or "the six horse."
Preakness winner Exaggerator, off a smashing win in the Haskell, is the 3-1 morning line favorite. In spite of his lustrous credentials, that price probably will be available when the 14-horse field is loaded.
If beating the favorite is your game, you could be handsomely rewarded. The winners of the Belmont Stakes, Jim Dandy, Tampa Bay Derby and Louisiana Derby are all double digits on the opening line.

Lost: A Racetrack and Probably Some Fans
SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 18--What a relief. In the midst of my 1600-mile drive to Saratoga, I began reading stories that said the track at Saratoga had been lost on Saturday. My immediate thought was, how could people be wasting time looking for Pokemon when the most famous race track in America is missing?
Thankfully, this turned out to be hyperbole. The lost track, as described by Johnny Velazquez, turned out to be justification for the jockeys to refuse to ride the last six races of the card.
I was on the road, so I have no idea how extreme conditions were at the Spa. But I do know I have been there many times when it was raining when I woke up in the morning, never stopped all day, yet a complete program was run.
I also know that no matter how hard it might have been raining, it likely didn't exceed the Biblical downpours at Gulfstream a couple of times a week during summer. Nevertheless there hasn't been a rain cancellation in my memory.
When it's really bad or lightning is in the area, horses are held in the paddock until conditions become more tolerable. Even on the gloomiest of days, there is sufficient natural light during to run until 7 p.m. and beyond. NYRA called it quits not much after 3 p.m.
NYRA certainly didn't want to lose a Saturday at Saratoga. However, you have to wonder how much effort was made to save the cancelled races. You also have to wonder how much consideration was given to the potential long term repercussions to Saratoga and the Adirondacks tourism industry.
Saratoga probably draws a greater percentage of fans from in excess of 100 miles away than any other racetrack in America, especially on a Saturday. Fans last Saturday are likely to think twice the next time they consider the marathon drive if there is even a hint of a storm.
Also, fans pay $200 or more a night in area hotels and motels to spend a day or two at the Spa. Speaking from first-hand knowledge, a lot of these reservations are made weeks or months in advance. There also is sure to be hesitation on the part of many to making this commitment next year.

Travers Day All-Grade 1 Pick 4
Exclusively for
reprinted via promotional agreement
Posted comments on winners with notable money finishers
8-Tourist (5-2)
won his lone start on this course, three of four at this trip lifetime and exits long series of G1 event. Has enough tactical gas to overcome wide draw and reunites with winning rider Rosario. Worthy favorite.
7-A Lot (10-1)
drops significant weight exiting two rapidly run sprints, gets switch to Javier. Has run very well on this course but this is a different level and had better inside draw in last week's canceled renewal.
6-Songbird (1-5)
is 9-for-9 lifetime and needs no introduction. Biggest hurdle figures to be today's trip but did drew out in final furlong winning CCA Oaks here at 9 furlongs July 24. Has continued to train well over the strip.
3-Going for Broke (10-1)
obviously, Chad is en fuego and this filly has benefit of winning 9 furlongs over the track. Only loss sprinting in debut over speed-kind strip. Bred for the trip with Irad on the re-ride and will be running in the lane.
1-Orino (10-1)
has never been entered this cheaply but draws in with salty NY-Bred group. Barn's horses always live here, draws pole and attracts Johnny; wakeup potential.
5-True Charm (12-1)
comes off comprehensive open lengths score in recent off-turfer here and has run very competitively in two of three turf starts; live threat to repeat with Lezcano on the re-ride.
4-Laura's Patriot (12-1)
was a very willing fourth going 7/8s in Belmont finale and appears well suited by the turnback; getting weight for all and apprentice, struggling here, has ability.
7-Wantagh Queen (20-1)
raced wide in one of these, her Spa turf return, following maiden-claiming Belmont win. Second at this trip last year now gets switch to Geroux; surprise package?
RACE 8 Grade 1 KING'S BISHOP 3 YO 7 FURLONGS
1-Economic Model (6-1)
placed gamely after making mid-race run into stretch in G3 Dwyer. Broke maiden here in 2015 and second to rapid Awesome Banner at trip in Swale. Training strongly in blinkers.
2-Fish Trappe Road (8-1)
has improved markedly since turned back into sprint this spring, beating 'Model' in latest. Loves this trip (3) 2-1-0 and owns tactical speed and kick; fair value on early line.
3-Summer Revolution (6-1)
has been visually impressive in two rapidly run starts at today's trip, including Spa debut. Extremely fast figures on both Thoro-Graph and Pricci Energy Rating scales but takes substantial rise here. Intriguing.
4-Tail of S'avall (30-1)
was third behind 'Model' and 'Road' in Dwyer and did make maiden here in debut at 2. Tough draw given his style and dynamics in bulky field.
5-Bird Song (30-1)
has been developing nicely this summer for Wilkes and jumped up to win Spa debut July 24. Distance should suit, Jose Ortiz re-rides, but makes significant class rise here.
6-Mohaymen (5-1)
has been toughened at the highest levels all season long and is 2-for-2 in career rounding one turn. Suited by dynamics, style and distance but has not shown development since leaving Gulfstream. Mixed signals.

Saratoga Late Pick 4, Roll Tide
Exclusively for
reprinted via promotional agreement
1-King Kreesa (12-1)
won the Forbidden Apple after getting loose in soft fractions on a speed-kind course…but these are Grade 1 rivals.
2-Grand Arch (6-1)
returns to what might be his favorite course--over which he won this race last year. A four-time winner at the trip, returns with profitable spacing for Lynch barn that's come alive recently. Nicely drawn, sheds 6 pounds and ML odds offers value.
3-Reporting Star (20-1)
four of five lifetime wins have come at this trip, sheds six pounds, and won G3 Appleton at the distance three back. In top hands but this is a different level.
4-Force the Pass (8-1)
just missed catching 'Kreesa' after chasing the loose leader in the Forbidden Apple. Has enough versatility to adapt to dynamics, well drawn and three of four lifetime wins at today's distance. Excellent value on early line.
5-Blacktype (10-1)
won the Oceanport when Jersey Joe took advantage of demanding course and timed his late run perfectly. Meeting tougher, obviously, and at his best with a little more ground.
6-Ring Weekend (3-1)
handles any type of footing, has won at G1 level, and just missed in G2 Dixie making first start in 14 months. Loves tis course, working bullets at Fair Hill base and goes very well for Johnny.
7-A Lot (10-1)
drops significant weight exiting two rapidly run sprints, gets switch to Javier. Has run very well on this course but this is a different level and had better inside draw in last week's canceled renewal.
8-Tourist (5-2)
won his lone start on this course, three of four at this trip lifetime and exits long series of G1 event. Has enough tactical gas to overcome wide draw and reunites with winning rider Rosario. Worthy favorite.
9-Takeover Target (9-2)
would have preferred last week's softer ground but likes Spa turf. Freshened awaiting this, sheds five pounds but loses Rosario to Tourist. Chad white hot, has good spacing, but this a tough spot.

Get Nick's E-Cookbooks for just
Meat Tortellini with Garlic Cream Sauce
Tortellini di Carne con il Sugo di Crema all'Aglio
1 recipe Fresh Pasta Sheets Regular Batch
1 recipe Garlic Cream Sauce (see Nick's recipe)
4 tablespoon Olive Oil
¼ cup diced Celery
¼ cup diced Carrot
¼ cup diced Onion
4 large Garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1pound Ground Veal
1 ounce chopped Prosciutto (1/4 cup)
½ cup White Wine
1 cup Chicken Stock
¼ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black Pepper
1 Egg
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Tablespoon Italian Style Bread Crumbs

Fresh Pasta Sheets
Chicken Stock
Serves 4-6
Printable Version
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and slowly sauté the celery, carrot, onion and garlic until they are tender and golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and add the ground veal and prosciutto. Cook, stirring often, until the meat starts to brown, 10-12 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze, gently scraping the bottom of the pan to dislodge any flavorful brown bits. Reduce the liquid by half, about 1 minute. Add the stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until it is nearly dry, 15-16 minutes.
Cool the filling slightly and puree in a food processor or blender with the egg, Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs to a thick paste.
To make the tortellini, cut the fresh pasta sheets into 2 inch squares. Place a teaspoon of the filling into the center of a square and fold over to make a triangle. Press out any excess air and seal the edges, dampening lightly with water if needed for a tight seal. Pull the corners of the longest side of the triangle down and pinch together. Fold the remaining tip back to form a tortellini. Place the finished pasta on a well floured tray and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cover and chill until ready to use.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the pasta in the boiling water until it is al dente and heated through, 2-3 minutes. Drain well and return to the empty pot. Gently toss together the tortellini and the warm Garlic Cream Sauce and serve hot.

A motorist and a store clerk were injured when two trucks crashed on Route 4 in Canaan, New Hampshire Thursday morning, causing one truck to careen into the Pleasant Valley Store.
Stephen Ryan, of North Billerica, Mass., was attempting to make a left turn into the Pleasant Valley Store when he collided with a truck driven by Canaan resident, Donald Stapelfeld. The impact forced Stapelfeld's truck into the south side of the store. The truck went through the wall of the store and stopped in the counter area.
Ryan and his passenger were uninjured in the collision. Stapelfeld, who was not wearing a seatbelt, sustained minor injuries. The store clerk was not struck by the truck or debris but was transported to a nearby hospital for back pain related to the crash.
The crash is under investigation. No charges have been filed.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call Canaan Police Chief Samuel W. Frank at 603-523-7400.

"Typically, given its condition, it's something we would euthanize right away," conceded Mike Demlong, wildlife education program manager for the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
Because it came from the Yarnell Hill fire and had such a rough time, we decided to give it a second chance.

Sometimes, it is hard understand why transfers happen in soccer. In 2013, Falcao, one of the best central forwards in the world, signed with the French club Monaco which just was promoted from the second league. He had offers from almost every big club in the world, but decided to join Monaco.
Radamel Falcao Garcia Zarate was born on February 10, 1986, in Santa Marta, Colombia. In his youth, Falcao played in the soccer academy named "Lanceros Fair Play", for which he played as a 13-year-old in the second Colombian League. At the age of fifteen, he joined the youth academy of the Argentine club River Plate.
At the age of 20 he made his debut for River Plate in the Argentine Primera División and scored twice in his first game. In 2005, he suffered a serious knee injury and finally returned, completely recovered, in 2007 after several failed comeback attempts.
In the summer of 2009, Falcao moved to the top Portuguese club FC Porto. In the first four games for his new club, he scored four goals and ended the season with a total of 25 goals. The following season was very successful for him as well. He scored 17 goals in 14 Europa League games and beat Jurgen Klinsmann´s all-time record and helped his team winning the title.
In the Portuguese championship, FC Porto had a superior striking duo with Falcao (16 goals) and Hulk (23 goals) and they easily won the league title. With a 6-2 victory in the cup final against Vitória Guimar&atilede;es and Porto finally won the European triple. Falcao had been selected in this year's election to the European Footballer of the Year and placed 5th.
Although Falcao had extended his contract with Porto until July 2015, Atlético Madrid signed him on August 18, 2011. The striker signed a five-year contract. The transfer fee was about $58 million according to media reports.
He made his debut against Valencia in the Primera División on November 10, 2011, the first day of the 2011/12 season. In his second league game, he scored 3 goals in a 4-0 win over Racing Santander. With a total of 12 goals in 15 games, he successfully defended the top scorer title in the Europa league. In the league, Falcao scored 24 goals.
For the 2013/14 season, Falcao moved to the French first division club AS Monaco. He signed a contract over five years, lasting until June 30, 2018. He should earn $18 million per season. In his first league game on August 10, 2013, Falcao scored his first goal in a 2-0 win over Bordeaux.

The seven astronauts set to blast off aboard NASA?s space shuttle Discovery next month climbed aboard their spacecraft Wednesday for a launch dress rehearsal that ended in a mock emergency escape.
Clad in bright orange pressure suits, shuttle commander Lee Archambault and his STS-119 crew strapped into their seats aboard Discovery for the traditional preflight review at NASA?s seaside Pad 39A launch site at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. The astronauts are due to launch Feb. 12 to deliver new solar arrays to the International Space Station.
?This is really the culmination of our training, when we get the chance to come out here for a few days,? Archambault told reporters Monday after he and his crew arrived at the Florida spaceport from Houston, Texas. ?We did a nice pad flyby on our way in. It?s beautiful to see Discovery out on the pad.?
Archambault and his STS-119 crewmates spend several days going through NASA?s traditional Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test. The astronauts got a chance to examine Discovery and its solar array cargo, as well as practice driving NASA?s M-113 turret-less tank. Archambault and pilot Tony Antonelli also practiced landing at the nearby Shuttle Landing Facility using an aircraft modified to perform like a returning space shuttle.
The training session precedes every shuttle mission to give astronauts the opportunity to get a hands-on look at their actual spacecraft and practice emergency launch pad escape plans by simulating a launch abort just before 11:00 a.m. EST (1600 GMT). During a real launch pad emergency, astronauts would zip away from Pad 39A in zip line baskets, then use the tank to drive out to a safe distance.
?They?re safely out of the shuttle,? NASA spokesperson Allard Beutel told SPACE.com from the spaceport today. ?The simulation went just fine.?
Discovery?s STS-119 astronauts were due to head back to NASA?s Johnson Space Center in Houston this afternoon to complete their last few weeks of prelaunch training. Meanwhile, engineers at the Kennedy Space Center shut Discovery?s payload bay doors today for what?s expected to be the final time before the spacecraft?s planned Feb. 12 launch at 7:32 a.m. EST (1232 GMT).
NASA shuttle program managers began a preliminary two-day meeting today to discuss Discovery?s readiness for launch. A full Flight Readiness Review is scheduled for Feb. 3, when top NASA officials are expected to set an official Feb. 12 launch date for the mission.
Beutel said that shuttle workers installed Discovery?s cargo - the last pair of U.S. built solar wings and their attached Starboard-6 truss segment - last weekend. To date, the shuttle is in fine shape for its February launch, he added.
?Right now, there?s nothing hardware-wise or crew-wise that would affect plans for the launch next month,? Beutel said, adding that the number of glitches with Discovery have been extremely low.

A legal battle between Appalachian Regional Healthcare and the Kentucky and West Virginia Nurses Associations has come to a conclusion.
A federal judge ruled in favor of the Registered Nurses, saying ARH has to pay back money lost to the nurses plus interest.
Registered Nurses at Kentucky and West Virginia ARH facilities have been awarded a rough total of more than two million dollars.
That's the amount KNA members say will include interest. It's an amount that registered nurses are jumping for joy about.
It was the contract between nurses and ARH to be paid for 40 hours, for working three, 12 hour shifts, that executive director of the Kentucky Nurses Association, Sharon Mercer says puts the money back in the nurses pockets.
Even though the nurses were being paid for four extra hours they may not have worked, KNA officials say they were saving ARH money from paying time and a half for overtime when nurses were only scheduled to work eight hour shifts. In past interviews, ARH officials told WYMT, the schedule change was to save money and was not a violation of the contract, but a federal judge disagreed.
The judge's order follows an arbitrator's award back in April to reinstate the 36-40 work schedule and pay back the registered nurses with interest at the federal judgment rate.
ARH released this statement, saying "We're disappointed with the decision. We will be evaluating the decision with our attorneys to consider what, if any, additional action will be taken in this matter."
The decision can be appealed by ARH, but officials have not said for sure if they will pursue that option.

OSCAR: Who's Wearing Whom To Awards?
From Issue #4 of Deadline's recent awards print editions, noted fashion editor/writer Elizabeth Snead filed this report:
No, it's not too early to ask that question about the Oscars or the Golden Globes or the BAFTAs or the SAG Awards or to speculate about the actress considered this Hollywood awards season's biggest "get" among the global fashion industry that has taken root. Clothes and accessories designers, personal stylists, and image-makers who hook up celebrities with prestige brands already are predicting which actresses will wear whose haute couture (especially if they fit into a runway sample size 2).
The fact is, what stars showcase on the red carpets is based on their existing relationships. Several actresses touted for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress nominations this year, like Anne Hathaway, Nicole Kidman, and Annette Bening, already have long fashion histories. Style-icon Hathaway (Love & Other Drugs) favors Oscar classics from Armani, Valentino and Marchesa. Oscar winner Kidman (Rabbit Hole) has worked with many top designers during her career including, Chanel, Balenciaga, and her designer/stylist L'Wren Scott. Annette Bening (The Kids Are Alright) has long been on Team Armani.
Carey Mulligan (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and Never Let Me Go) often wears Balenciaga; Lanvin; and Prada, the house that did her most recent Oscar gown adorned with tiny forks and spoons. Michelle Williams wowed critics with her trend-setting, mustard-yellow Vera Wang for her Oscar nod in 2006, but recently wore Chanel couture at the Blue Valentine Cannes premiere. Amy Adams (The Fighter) has picked Carolina Herrera for three highly-praised Oscar carpet strolls. Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right) loves edgier Lanvin and Balenciaga — plus, Tom Ford has directed her, so he might give her something special from his new collection that recently debuted during NYC Fashion Week. The always-eclectic Tilda Swinton (I Am Love) has designers she describes as "friends who send me boxes" including, Alber Elbaz (whom she's nicknamed 'Albert Elbows'), Haider Ackermann, Dior's John Galliano, Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere, Viktor & Rolf, and Vivienne Westwood.
This season's biggest Oscar 'get' might be Natalie Portman (Black Swan), if only she hadn't recently signed her first fragrance contract — for Parfums Christian Dior. The natural assumption is that she'll do Dior on Oscar Day just like she did at Mike Nichols' recent AFI tribute. But there's already chatter she might don Rodarte for some red carpets because of her long history with its Pasadena-based designing sisters, Kate and Laura Mulleavy. And don't forget that she insisted on Rodarte designing the exquisite ballerina costumes for Black Swan. Natalie already wore a stunning red Rodarte gown to the Venice Film Festival, but also carried a Dior bag.
Indeed, fashion's equivalent of Facebook status is which actresses have which multimillion-dollar brand ambassador deals for designer jewelry, clothing, and fragrances. That may mean they're 'done' for the 2011 awards season because, deep in the contract's fine print, are requirements that these actresses wear — or at least give first consideration to — those designers' fashions. Milla Jovovich (Stone) models in Escada's Fall 2010 ad campaign that featured some Oscar-worthy fabwear. While she wore a Temperley orange silk gown to the recent Hollywood Awards, fashion folks predict she'll wear Escada to the Academy Awards. And Blake Lively (The Town) is known to have a friendship with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, thus explaining her recent front-row seat at a Chanel Paris haute-couture show. After her appearance with Karl Lagerfeld at the Chanel boutique reopening during New York Fashion Week, it was reported that Lively was in Paris shooting a Chanel handbag ad campaign. Insiders now consider her locked this awards season.
Among previous Oscar-nominated or-winning actresses, Keira Knightley (Never Let Me Go) is still the face of Chanel's Coco fragrance. And she continues to stand by her brand, wearing Chanel at the Rome and London film festivals. No surprise since, in September, she hopped on a motorcycle in Paris to shoot a new Chanel Coco ad. Marion Cotillard (Inception) stars in a series of Lady Dior print ads and short films, including films directed by David Lynch and John Cameron Mitchell (Rabbit Hole). No surprise that she favors Dior gowns for big awards. Same with Charlize Theron, who's the face of J'Adore fragrance: she keeps wearing Dior (like John Galliano's controversial rosebud-bosomed gown at last year's Oscars). This means many designers will go after the uncommitted, like Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone), Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Mila Kunis (Black Swan), Rebecca Hall (The Town), perhaps Juliette Lewis (Conviction), even 12-year-old Elle Fanning (Somewhere), and, of course, Kristen Stewart (Welcome To The Rileys, The Twilight Saga).
Some already have fashion help. Lawrence — who wore Thakoon to pick up her New Hollywood Award — is being styled by Estee Stanley, who also dresses Jessica Biel and Penelope Cruz. Noomi Rapace — who wore British designer Alexander McQueen to get her Hollywood Spotlight Award, and two Elie Saab gowns to the Venice Film Festival — was dressed by very influential stylist Elizabeth Stewart, who also dresses Cate Blanchett. Even Kristen Stewart has been improved by stylist Tara Swennen, who dressed her this year in high fashion from Elie Saab, Balenciaga, Herve Leger, Dolce & Gabbana, Oscar de la Renta, and Monique Lhuillier (for the last Oscars). Kristen has even switched her signature Keds for Christian Louboutin heels.
Also still up for grabs are these fine and mature actresses: Lesley Manville (Another Year), Sally Hawkins (Made In Dagenham), Sissy Spacek (Get Low), Dale Dickey (Winter's Bone), Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom), Melissa Leo (The Fighter), Dianne Wiest (Rabbit Hole), and Gemma Jones (You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger).
Natalie Portman's going to surprise everyone by showing up in a black version of Bjork's swan dress. You heard it here first.
i`ll be wearing a smile
Haha, awesome.
Thank you for saying "whom"! Listening to those uneducated chatterboxes on the various red carpets, constantly screeching "Who are you wearing?", drives me bonkers.
Looks like Natalie will wearing something from a Parenthood store now that she's pregnant. I could see Rodarte making something just for her…she wears that designer a lot.
Natalie Portman is going to show up in a designer maternity dress.
Nikki why is this topic on your normally hard news site? It's more suited for Hollywood Life or People or Life & Style. This is not industry related news no matter how you want to spin it. I know it's the holidays and real news is slow but this is a waste of space this is not a post that should appear on the Finkester's site. Yes I just coined that phrase "the Finkester" and I'm copyrighting it and registering it as a trademark. (C) (R)
cue the decline of DHD.
Your article totally makes sense. So sad that actor's bodies have become "billboards". When did style become a commodity? I'd really love to see a celeb go against the grain and wear an indie designer, not a label financed by conglomerates. FYI, Blake Lively doesn't employ a stylist. She says she "styles" herself. Ugh! Everything about her is so contrived. She looks like a 40 year old woman!
Ouch Sally Hawkins labelled mature, please she's only 36 and can fit into whatever.
Hollywood actresses as models is not really a new phenomenon. Style became a commodity the minute Hollywood decided to name the actors on screen. In the golden age of Hollywood fanzines described the fashions of Hollywood's popular actresses and the magazines even provided fans with patterns so you could make your own star outfit at home. As early as in 1928 Mary Pickford was one of the first Hollywood actresses to wear french couture to the Oscars, Lanvin I believe. I'd say that this link between fashion and film that is just around 100 years old makes this an article that is industry relevant. And I'm pretty sure that the billion dollar industry that co-exits in the field of fashion and film would agree.
Happy Awards season to you all!

Japanese Performance magazine to showcase Pro-R range
05.07.11 // by admin
Our very own Director of Parts and Logistics, Darren James, has recently been interviewed by Japanese Performance magazine about the roll out of Pro-R. The article will appear in the next edition, but here's a sneak peak of what Darren has to say:
"Expect things to be very different at your local Subaru dealer from now on. We have listened to what our owners wanted and we are delivering it. Not only are we one of the few manufacturers to still be offering a dedicated sports model with the WRX Sti, but the products and people that we have assembled are the very best names in the business. If we're honest, we haven't engaged with Subaru tuning enthusiasts as much as we could have over the last few years, and these new developments will dramatically reverse that trend. The Pro-R range goes all the way back to the GC8 Classic Imprezas, meaning we have every Impreza model covered and we're investing heavily in developing dedicated Pro-R Performance Centres, where drivers can go for expert advice and fitting. All of the range is being race-proven in Time Attack and when fitted to cars still within warranty, won't affect that cover in any way."
Be sure to pick up a copy to read the full story.

WASHINGTON (WOMENSENEWS)--One of two pro-choice populists is on track to become the first woman ever elected to represent Minnesota in the Senate next year.
That is the view of prominent Democrats in the state, who are placing early bets that either Amy Klobuchar, a county prosecutor, or Patty Wetterling, a citizen activist, will win the endorsement of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) at the state convention in May of 2006.
In the last century, liberal parties representing the state's farmers and laborers merged with the state's Democratic Party, giving rise to today's DFL Party, which serves the same function as Democratic parties in other states.
"If I had to predict who's going to get the endorsement, I'd say it would be Amy or Patty," DFL Chair Mike Erlandson said, adding: "Both have uniquely different strengths, and both are working very, very hard. I think they're going to have strong campaigns."
Two other Democrats--both male--are also running in the swing-state race that is already drawing nationwide attention as a possible indications for the outcomes of the 2006 mid-term elections. They are Kelly Doran, a wealthy real estate developer, and Ford Bell, a little-known veterinarian.
Another male Democrat, Mike Ciresi, a wealthy attorney who ran for the Senate in 2000, is also reportedly mulling a bid.
On the Republican side, Rep. Mark Kennedy of Minnesota is the clear favorite over Harold Shudlick, a retired minister.
Jack Uldrich, a writer and lecturer and former government official with a relatively low political profile, is also running as an Independent.
Competitive open-seat races--especially those in "purple states" like Minnesota--often provide tips on the national mood because the forces of incumbency aren't pulling voters toward one party or another, said Steven Schier, a professor of political science at Carleton College in Northfield, Minn.
National Party Steers Clear
Unlike the national GOP, which has coalesced around Kennedy, officials at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the party's national fundraising arm in Washington, D.C., have steered clear of a race they regard as one of the party's prime opportunities.
Although pro-choice activists were angered when Charles E. Schumer, chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, helped clear the field for Bob Casey Jr., a Democrat who opposes abortion rights, in Pennsylvania's Senate race earlier this year, they are content for the party to stand back for now.
"They're both very strong," said Ramona Oliver, spokesperson for EMILY's List, a political action committee in Washington, D.C., devoted to electing pro-choice female Democrats, referring to Klobuchar and Wetterling. "We're going to wait and see how things percolate before we make any official decisions."
Minnesota's independent-minded voters elected Republicans to the governor's office and the Senate in 2002 but backed Democratic candidates for president over George W. Bush in 2000 and in 2004. The state's eight-member congressional delegation is evenly divided, as is control of the state legislature, where Democrats rule the state Senate and Republicans hold the majority in the state House of Representatives.
"I think both sides will consider it winnable," said Bill Flanigan, a political scientist at the University of Minnesota. "It will bring in national money and generate a lot of enthusiasm and effort."
Schier said odds were good that one of the women will win the party's endorsement next May and perhaps the September primary. But he did note that the race is still a long way off. "They both can raise a lot of money, they have good name recognition and they have reasonable candidate skills."
Boost Expected From Endorsement
The party's endorsement is expected to provide an immediate boost to the recipient in the months before the state's September 2006 primary. A late primary victory could provide the momentum needed to prevail in the November general election, shaping up as one of the most competitive of the 2006 midterm election cycle.
That the party chair is willing to lend his backing to the two women a year out from the state party convention and a year-and-a-half out from the general election is a testament to the strength of these women's campaigns.
Wetterling and Klobuchar revved up their campaigns soon after Democratic Sen. Mark Dayton in February announced plans to retire next year. Since then, both have been traveling around the state building grassroots support, securing early endorsements and raising money.
"There are different ways to answer that," said Flanigan, when asked which of the two women had the advantage. "The most important way is who has the best lineup of party insiders on their side . . . I'm sure one of them has more of that kind of support, but I don't know which it is."
Similar Profiles
Ideologically, the two women cut similar profiles. Each supports abortion rights and emphasizes affordable health care and education. Both call for fiscal responsibility, such as efforts to reduce the federal budget deficit and oppose extending additional tax cuts for the wealthy. Klobuchar declined to discuss her ideological differences with Wetterling. "Because we haven't had any forums, it's hard to say where we differ on the issues," she said in a telephone interview.
Wetterling also downplayed her political differences with Klobuchar. "The brightest differences between us have less to do with ideology and much more to do with our different life experiences and perspectives," she said via email.
Klobuchar has won two elections to serve as county prosecutor for Minneapolis and the surrounding area. Wetterling, a former math teacher, became a successful advocate for children's issues after her son Jacob was abducted in 1989. In 2004, she won her party's nomination to challenge Kennedy–now the likely Republican nominee for the Senate--but failed to oust him.
Both women are fairly well known in the state and have proven fund-raising prowess.
Klobuchar is a familiar surname in Minnesota, thanks to her elected office and also to her father's byline on sports stories and columns published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Wetterling has drawn attention in the state--and the nation--for her work to enact state and federal laws requiring states to implement registries of sex offenders and community notification systems to locate abducted children.
Klobuchar has so far raised $592,000, according to the latest fundraising reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. That is roughly twice as much as the $330,000 Wetterling had raised as of March 31, according to FEC reports.
Kennedy, meanwhile, raised $560,000 in the first quarter of the year, the FEC reports indicated.
