PISCATAWAY, N.J. (March 10, 2010) – The No. 18/20 Rutgers women's lacrosse team (5-0) got off to its best start in school history, winning its fifth-straight game to open the season with a 17-6 triumph over Saint Joseph's (2-4) on Wednesday, March 10, at the RU Turf Field.
Rutgers previously won four games to start the season in 1990 and tied that feat last week with a win at Delaware. The Scarlet Knights also improved their all-time record against the Hawks to 14-0 with the victory.
Junior midfielder Marlena Welsh (Jarrettsville, Md.) and freshman midfielder Stephanie Anderson (Wading River, N.J.) scored four goals apiece as the Scarlet Knights rolled past the Hawks. Rutgers had four players with three or more goals. Senior attack Brooke Cantwell (Moorestown, N.J.) and sophomore attack Annie McGinley (Moorestown, N.J.) each chipped in three goals to help pace the offense.
Welsh opened the scoring with a goal on an assist from McGinley. The Hawks tied the game four minutes later, however, the Scarlet Knights responded with seven-straight scores to take an 8-1 halftime lead. Anderson broke the tie with her first goal, followed by Welsh with her second of the contest.
Senior Mary Cryan (Newtown Square, Pa.) recorded a first-half tally, while Cantwell and McGinley each had two goals before the break to guide Rutgers to its decisive lead.
Rutgers and Saint Joseph's traded goals to begin the second half, for a 9-3 score. The Scarlet Knights then increased their lead with four consecutive goals as sophomore Ali Steinberg (Suffern, N.Y.) scored two goals during the stretch, and Welsh and Anderson each added a goal to make it 13-3.
The Hawks scored three goals over the final 10 minutes of the match, but RU's 10-goal lead proved insurmountable as the Scarlet Knights cruised to the 17-6 victory.
Cryan and Cantwell led Rutgers with three assists each and senior Meghan Flanagan (Medford, N.J.) also helped in the scoring output, posting a pair of assists.
Senior Faith Richards (Montclair, N.J.) starred on the defensive end with two caused turnovers and five ground balls.
Freshman Lily Kalata (Nesconset, N.Y.) recorded her fifth career start and fifth win in goal. Freshman goalkeeper Aimee Chotikul (Baltimore, Md.) also saw her first collegiate action between the pipes as she replaced Kalata late in the second half.
The Scarlet Knights will embark on a four-game road trip, beginning with Hofstra on Saturday, March 13 at 1:00 p.m.

From staff and wire reports
Patricia Neal was an Academy Award-winning actress known on screen for her husky voice and the quiet strength she brought to roles in such acclaimed films as Hud (1963) and The Fountainhead (1949) and the sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951).
Ultimately the actress, who died of lung cancer Sunday at 84 surrounded by her family at her home in Edgartown, Mass., became just as famous for the tragedies that hit her and her family in the 1960s. That she overcame those misfortunes to once again become an award-winning performer is as much a part of her legacy as are her movie and TV roles.
Neal won a best-actress Oscar for her role opposite Melvyn Douglas and Paul Newman in Hud. Less than two years later, she suffered a series of strokes at age 39. She fought valiantly to regain her speech and the ability to walk, returning to the big screen in 1968 in The Subject Was Roses, for which she received another best-actress Oscar nomination.
In 1971, she played Olivia Walton in The Homecoming: A Christmas Story, a made-for-TV film that served as the pilot for the CBS series The Waltons. It brought her the first of her three Emmy nominations.
The actress was married for 30 years to the late Roald Dahl, the British writer famed for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach and other tales for children. They had five children. They divorced in 1983 after she learned he was having an affair with her best friend.
Before her marriage, she'd had an ill-fated affair with actor Gary Cooper, her co-star in The Fountainhead. He was 47 and she was 22 at the time.
A daughter died of measles in 1962, and her infant son nearly died in 1960 when his carriage was struck by a taxi.
In her 1988 autobiography, As I Am, she wrote, "Frequently my life has been likened to a Greek tragedy, and the actress in me cannot deny that comparison."
In 1999, she starred in her first feature film in 10 years in the title role in Robert Altman's Cookie's Fortune.
She said at the time that movie offers had been scarce in recent years.
"I don't quite understand it, but nobody calls me and nobody wants me. But I love to act."
Neal was born in a mining camp in Packard, Ky., the daughter of a transportation manager for the South Coal & Coke Co. After leaving Knoxville, she attended Northwestern University and then struck out for Broadway.
The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center that helps people recover from strokes and spinal cord and brain injuries is named for her in Knoxville, where she grew up.
Her family said her dedication to the rehab center and advocacy for stroke sufferers was a great source of hope for them and their families and a "constant inspiration to our family."
"You can't give up," she said in a 1999 Associated Press interview. "You sure want to, sometimes."

NFL's Top Earners Of 2015
Entertainment| | By Jason Owen
It gets kind of tricky. Are we going to talk about a player's cap hit (salary and bonuses) for 2015 or what their contract extended over several years will represent in total earnings? Since contracts can be all over the place, for the sake of this list we will focus on the top earning players' 2015 cap hits for 2015. But big question: Are these players worth what they're getting paid? Well, if they can help their team to a winning season, we think they're worth every penny. But if they're a bust, and keep costing their team key games, you might want to say they're overpaid losers.
Note: The rankings for 2014 were based on average annual salary for a player's multi-year contract. For 2015, we're using the cap hit, which includes the actual annual salary plus any bonuses rewarded for that year.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/4/2014 (1196 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
IF he's is going to continue as the head coach, there's an important question Winnipeg Jets fans are likely to have of Paul Maurice.
How long is it going to take to transform the also-ran Jets -- playoff non-qualifiers for three straight seasons in Winnipeg and as a franchise, seven years in a row -- into a winning outfit?
If patience is not your thing, there's a chance you won't like his answer.
"I don't know the answer to that, to be honest with you," Maurice said Sunday, taking a break from his exit meetings with the players, their season concluded at 84 points, 37-35-10.
That did not stop him from giving two further minutes of thought on the matter.
"Kind of starting, really in some ways, from the ground floor," he said. "We'll start with the body, the physical changes we need to make, the fitness level we need to get to. We wouldn't be able to get to that in one summer. It takes a couple of years in my experience and I've been through that twice. This team is probably further ahead than one of the situations; it takes about two years. And it's organizational. It's your team but also your American League team and in the end, then you're just worried about your draft picks and you see how long it takes them to turn pro.
"The style of play? The understanding of what we want to do, the foundation of it shouldn't take too, too long but that doesn't mean you're good at it yet. And Boston is a really good example of that. They won a Cup before they got to the level... the game they're playing now is as advanced as I've seen them play. They're a better team now, I think, than when they won.
"So it'll take a while. The key is how long can you stay right on the direction, right? There's always that you fall off, the injuries, all those other things that happen to your team, pieces that you thought fit but maybe didn't fit exactly the way you want. How long it takes your young players to (get to) that level of being men. I think we made some decent strides in our defensive zone but I think we've got a long way to go there. The last week-and-a-half was when we finally started to get to our offensive zone, we got on the puck better than we had all year. So it'll take a while."
The other major issue for Maurice to address after the conclusion of games was about the team's worst month of the season -- March.
The Jets won in Nashville on March 1, pulling into a points tie with the eighth-place Dallas Stars, but followed that game with a six-game losing streak (0-3-3) and went on to lose 11 games (4-7-4) in the month to fall out of touch with post-season hope.
"The game changed," Maurice responded. "That was a big piece of it. It gets to a more physical, more grinding, tighter game. So we're coming away down a goal instead of up a goal. It's not like we went from winning 5-2 to losing 5-2. It was that little switch and some of that was the way the game changes."
He also said the young team was not deep enough to fully cope with injuries, which began with the loss of effective rookie centre Mark Scheifele and escalated to a half-dozen regulars.
There was a distinct break in Maurice's and the team's success. After that win in Nashville, including that game, the new coach was 11-3-1. He went 7-9-4 the rest of the way.
"In specifics, I pushed them real hard after the Nashville game in two practices," Maurice said. "I can remember walking off the ice thinking, 'That's the way we're supposed to practise and I'm just not sure we were ready to do that yet.' But it needed to happen. I wouldn't change it going back. I wouldn't change the end of this year.
"I know making the playoffs is the prize but it's not. At the end of it, for me, we got far more out of the last month-and-a-half of the season than we did in the first month-and-a-half. I learned more about the players, got an opportunity to draw some lines and explain some things and hold players to certain things that you couldn't early on. And we'll get more value going forward from the end of this hockey season than when I came in."

The night before: In a 2-quart saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add 2/3 cup steel-cut oats (not quick-cooking). Stir, let cool to room temperature. Cover; refrigerate in pan overnight.
In the morning: Add 1/8 teaspoon coarse salt to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until oats are tender but still chewy, 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sean Roman, BlackHeart
Pinning down Canadian producer Sean Roman can be tricky. At times, his productions glisten with a hazy disco sensibility, while at others they recall the powdery fluidity of Art Department and the Visionquest crew. Here, he pops up on the ever-reliable Under The Shade imprint with a trio of touchy-feely tracks variously influenced by electrofunk, classic house, synth-pop, UK bass and Italo. While "Games" - all undulating synth bass, hazy vocals, subtle disco guitars and baggy groove - has the most crossover potential, it's the string-laden, late night bounce of "It Doesn't Matter". This soft focus rave revival theme is continued on "Blinders", which drapes exotic samples and dense percussion over a booming UK garage groove.

BL/BLA: 103949/99-1488 REVIEWER: Jooran S. Kim, Pharm.D.
TYPE : Consult for BLA Supplement SUBMISSION DATE : 2/5/01
DRUG : Ribavirin (200 mg oral capsules) DATE RECEIVED : 3/5/01
SPONSOR : Schering Corporation DRAFT REVIEW : 8/6/01
Ribavirin was approved in 1998 for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, in combination with interferon A (INTRON A). Although in vitro data suggest that ribavirin may possess antiviral activity against some DNA and RNA viruses, the mechanism of action for antiviral activity has not yet been elucidated. The current approved dose of ribavirin (given with INTRON A) is:
Weight (kg) Dose of Ribavirin (divided bid)
£ 75 kg 1000 mg/day
>75 kg 1200 mg/day
A pegylated formulation of interferon A (PEG-INTRON) was recently approved by CBER for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C as monotherapy. The approved dose is 1.0 m g/kg weekly. A combination supplement has been submitted to CBER to seek approval for PEG-INTRON + ribavirin as dual therapy for chronic hepatitis C. This submission is currently under review.
Summary of Ribavirin Pharmacokinetics (please refer to Dr. Rajagopalan's review of ribavirin completed on 5/13/98)
Generally, the pharmacokinetics of ribavirin are variable. In subjects that received ribavirin 600 mg in the morning and 400 mg in the evening for 4 weeks, Cmax and AUC12 values were 3230 (---------) ng/mL and 27800 (------------) ng*h/mL, respectively. For those that received ribavirin 600 mg bid, Cmax was approximately 3480 (-------------) ng/mL and AUC12 was 30300 (--------------) ng*h/mL. Tmax of ribavirin was around 1.5 hours. Following single doses of ribavirin (400, 800 and 1200 mg), AUC was dose proportional, whereas Cmax was less than dose proportional. The percentage of unchanged drug eliminated in the urine decreased as the dose increased. These findings suggest that there may be saturable absorption of ribavirin in the GI tract and saturable urinary elimination. The bioavailability of ribavirin increased significantly (70%) with food. In regards to ribavirin metabolism, in vitro studies indicate that ribavirin is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes. It is, however, postulated that ribavirin may undergo deribosylation followed by amide hydrolysis. The apparent terminal half-life of ribavirin is approximately 274 hours after multiple dose administration. The long half-life may be due to sequestration of ribavirin into red blood cells. To date, the highest ribavirin dose the Agency has reviewed is 1200 mg/day.
CBER Consult
The applicant submitted a BLA supplement (BL 103949/BLA 99-1488) to CBER seeking approval of PEG-INTRON plus ribavirin for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. The pivotal trial is -------------. CBER consulted the Antivirals pharmacokinetics review team at CDER to evaluate a weight-based dosing regimen of ribavirin (administered with PEG-INTRON) proposed by the applicant. The following treatment arms were studied in --------------:
Treatment A: PEG-Intron 1.5 m g/kg qw plus Ribavirin 800 mg/day x 48 wks
Treatment B: PEG-Intron 1.5 m g/kg qw plus Ribavirin 1000/1200 mg/day x 4 wks
PEG-Intron 0.5 m g/kg qw plus Ribavirin 1000/1200 mg/day x 44 wks
Treatment C: Intron A 3MIU tiw plus Ribavirin 1000/1200 mg/day x 48 wks
Treatment A was superior to Treatments B and C, and therefore, PEG-INTRON 1.5 ug/kg once per week is being considered for approval. Based on a logistic regression analysis (and population PK and PK/PD analyses), the applicant has proposed the following dosing regimen of ribavirin, when used in combination with PEG-INTRON 1.5 m g/kg once a week:
Weight (kg) Dose of Ribavirin (divided bid)
<40 to 64 800 mg/day
65 to 85 1000 mg/day
86 to 105 1200 mg/day
> 105 1400 mg/day
The pharmacokinetics review team consulted pharmacometric (PM) specialists, Drs. Jenny Zheng and Sue-Chi Lee, for this review. The purpose of this PM consult was to determine if the applicant's analyses supported the proposed dosing regimen of ribavirin. In addition to --------------, the applicant submitted the report for Study ------------ (SCH 54031: Safety and tolerability of combined ribavirin and PEG-Interferon alfa-2b in subjects with chronic hepatitis C) to support the weight-based dosing regimen of ribavirin. Data from this study were not reviewed because subjects weighing > 105 kg were not enrolled (upper limit was 96 kg), PEG-INTRON doses were completely different to those studied in -------------, and there were a small number of patients (n=6) per dosing arm. Therefore, the PM consult focused on Study --------------.
Later in the review cycle, the CBER review team indicated they were considering a 600 mg/day ribavirin dose for patients who weigh less than 60 kg. The PK and PM consults did not evaluate the appropriateness of the 600 mg/day dose, because the submitted analyses did not address that dose in the proposal.
Dr. Lee mainly reviewed the population PK study from -------------. At this time, the PK/PD data are insufficient to support the applicant's weight-based dosing proposal. We may address this dosing proposal further once the sponsor has addressed the comments from her review. The sponsor has indicated that a study using the weight-based dosing of ribavirin is currently ongoing.

TYPE OF SUBMISSION: Supplemental application REVIEWER: Sue-Chih Lee, Ph.D.
Consult from CBER
The supplemental application was submitted to CBER to support the use of PEG-interferon alfa-2b and ribavirin for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Ribavirin is approved for use with interferon alfa-2b (Intron A) for the same indication while PEG-Intron monotherapy is approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in patients not previously treated with interferon alpha who have compensated liver disease. In the supplemental application, the sponsor also proposes a new weight-based dosing regimen for ribavirin. Hence, a consult was made to the Division of Antiviral Drug Products in CDER to review this proposed dosing recommendation. This review addresses only the population PK and PD analyses for ribavirin. Dr. Jooran Kim is the primary Clinical Pharmacology and Biopharmaceutics Reviewer for this submission.
The proposed dosing regimen for ribavirin in the PEG-Intron and Rebetol dual therapy is listed in the table below. For easy comparison, the approved dosing regimen for ribavirin in the Intron A and rebetol combination therapy is also included in the table.

The PK/PD analyses for ribavirin was conducted to support the weight-based dosing regimen for ribavirin in the PEG-Intron and Rebetol dual therapy. The analysis used data from clinical study ----------- which was conducted in patients with chronic hepatitis C to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two PEG-Intron/REBETOL regimens compared to standard therapy of INTRON A/REBETOL. This was a multicenter, randomized, open-labeled, active-controlled, parallel group Phase III study with a treatment period of 48 weeks and a 24-week follow-up. A total of 1580 patients were randomized and 1530 were treated. The three treatments were:
a) I/R; N=505 INTRON A (3 MIU SC TIW)
Rebetol (£ 75 kg: BID as 400 mg/600 mg;
>75 kg: BID as 600 mg/600 mg)
b) PEG 1.5/R; N=511 PEG-Intron (1.5 µg/kg SC QW)
REBETOL (BID as 400 mg/400 mg)
c) PEG 0.5/R N=514 PEG-Intron (1.5 µg/kg SC QW for 4 weeks
then 0.5 µg/kg SC QW for 44 weeks)
Rebetol (£ 75 kg: BID as 400 mg/600 mg;
>75 kg: BID as 600 mg/600 mg)
Single serum samples for determination of ribavirin concentrations were obtained at treatment weeks 12, 24, and 48 during routine clinic visits.
A. Population PK Analysis
A total of 2911 valid concentrations from 1367 patients comprised the data set. Covariates in the analysis included body weight, age, gender, serum creatinine, and creatinine clearance. The demographics are given in the table below:

The concentration-elapsed time plot is shown below. The peak and trough fluctuation is not pronounced after multiple doses of ribavirin. Therefore, a steady-state infusion model was used to fit the ribavirin concentrations with ribavirin apparent clearance (CLapp) as the primary pharmacokinetic parameter, i.e.,
Css = Dose/24/CLapp
where Dose was the total daily ribavirin dose and CLapp was the apparent clearance of ribavirin.
Note: Data points are designated by genders (M: male; F: female). Two smoothing lines are added (dash line: males; solid line: females)
Apparent clearance (CLapp) was modeled as a function of covariates, including age, body weight, gender, serum creatinine, and creatinine clearance. Apparent clearance was assumed to be log-normally distributed. The residual variability included both additive and constant CV (coefficient of variation) terms. Covariate evaluation was included in the model building process. The contribution of a covariate in a model was determined by the increase in the objective function from the model with the covariate removed (reduced model). This increase was compared to a Chi-square distribution for statistical significance (a = 0.005). Mixed-effects modeling was employed to analyze the data. The model building and parameter estimation were carried out using NONMEM.
Sponsor's analysis results and conclusion:
The sponsor concluded that body weight affected the apparent clearance of ribavirin, and was the most important covariate. Other covariates in the model (Model 11) included age, gender, and serum creatinine. Incorporating different power functions for subjects younger and older than 40 years did not improve the objective function significantly. Clearance increased as a function of body weight and reduced as age or serum creatinine increased. Mean ribavirin clearance estimates were 18.3 L/hr for a typical male patient, and 13.5 L/hr for a typical female patient. The intersubject variability was 24%. The residual variability was 17% at the ribavirin concentration level of 2500 ng/mL.
B. PD Analyses
Only patients receiving Treatment B (PEG-Intron 1.5m g/kg + ribavirin 800 mg/day) were included in the efficacy analysis since PEG-Intron dose level influenced the efficacy outcome.
Efficacy (448 patients):
Sustained virologic response was used as the efficacy measure and was defined as loss of detectable serum HCV-RNA (defined as qPCR < 100 copies/mL) at or after follow-up week 12.
Logistic regression was performed and covariates examined were HCV genotype, baseline viral load (using 2x106 copies/mL as the cutoff), ribavirin steady state concentration and age.
Toxicity (1341 patients):
Toxicity event was defined as having a hemoglobin level of <10.5 g/dL at treatment week 4.
Again logistic regression was performed and covariates investigated were ribavirin Css and baseline hemoglobin level; body weight and age.
Sponsor's analysis results and conclusion:
The following results are based on the sponsor's population PK and PD analyses and simulations.
Efficacy: Higher ribavirin concentrations were associated with a higher chance of response. HCV genotype and baseline viral load had substantial impact on response, with HCV genotype one and high baseline virus count having the lowest chance of response. Age was less influential but statistically significant.
Safety: Ribavirin concentration and baseline hemoglobin level were the most important factors; patients with high ribavirin concentration and low baseline hemoglobin had the highest risk of experiencing toxicity. Body weight and age were also included in the toxicity model for their statistical significance.
Simulation results: The four ribavirin dosage regimens (in combination with PEG-Intron 1.5 mg/kg) evaluated are as follows:
S1: 800 mg/day for every patient;
S2: 1000/1200 mg/day based on WT £ 75/>75 kg;
S3: 13 mg/kg/day; and
S4: 800/1000/1200 mg/day based on WT <65/65-85/>85 kg;
The predicted sustained response rate and hematological toxicity event rate are given in the two tables below. Simulation scenarios S3 and S4 most closely resembles the proposed weight-based dosing regimen. The sponsor considers that these regimens are superior to the fixed 800 mg/day dosage in response rate and their toxicity event rates will still be lower than that for a ribavirin dose of 1000/1200 mg/day (Simulation scenario S2). (Reviewer's note: The sponsor did not indicate the weight range used in the simulation for the open-ended weight categories.)
It is noted that the data set used in the analyses may contain errors, certain assumptions are explicitly or implicitly made in the model without adequate supporting evidence, and the final simulations do not provide an estimate of safety and efficacy for each weight range as specified in the proposed weight-based dosing recommendation. (See below for specific comments.) Therefore, the PK/PD information provided is insufficient to support the weight based dosing regimen as proposed by the sponsor.
The efficacy and safety measures used in the analyses were considered appropriate by Dr. Libero Marzella, the Medical Officer in CBER.
After a review of the PK/PD information provided regarding ribavirin, we communicated most of the following comments to the sponsor. The comments in italic are those yet to be conveyed to the sponsor.
1) Regarding the population PK (PPK) analysis:
2) Regarding the PD analyses:
Through simulation, the sponsor compared the safety and efficacy of the weight-based dosing regimens to those of the clinical trial dose (800 mg/day). This assessment was conducted lumping all patients together. The sponsor should conduct simulations to evaluate the impact on safety and efficacy for each weight range specified in the weight-based dosing recommendation. This simulation should take into account the PK and PD variabilities/distributions. Since some weight categories are open-ended (e.g. >105 kg), the sponsor should indicate the actual weight ranges used in the simulation with justifications.
The PK/PD information provided is insufficient to support the weight based dosing regimen as proposed by the sponsor. The sponsor should address the above comments. Once the sponsor provides the requested information, we can re-evaluate the weight-based dosing regimen.

Ward Churchill never got to talk at Hamilton College. But the controversial ethnic studies professor was supposed to have a platform tonight at his home campus, the University of Colorado at Boulder.
But on Monday, the university called off the appearance, citing [1] security concerns. Ron Stump, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that there were "serious" threats against both Churchill and students who planned to attend. "We have received reports of threats made to students," said Stump. "We felt it was in the best interests of all concerned to cancel the talk at this time in order to allow us more time to plan for such an event at another time."
The talk, titled "Ward Churchill Speaks On His Book: Real Academic Discourse Outside the Filter of the Media," was sponsored by a group of students and faculty members who are backing Churchill. The university administration is currently reviewing [2] his many controversial writings to determine if he should lose his job. Churchill's comments came under scrutiny after some of his writings circulated at Hamilton College, where a speech he was to have made last week was called off amid security threats.
Critics, including many Colorado politicians, have called on the university to dismiss Churchill because of his statements, in the wake of 9/11, that many of those who died in the World Trade Center were "little Eichmanns."
Churchill has said that reporters have distorted his comments, and that his statements are protected by the First Amendment.

Square Enix has gone ahead and given everyone a heads up about when the next Final Fantasy installment would be landing on Android and iOS, most likely in order for everyone to start saving up their pennies so they can afford it. Final Fantasy IV will be arriving on iOS this month while all of us Android gamers will be seeing this next Final Fantasy title arriving on Google Play in early Spring of 2013.
As the story goes for this installment, you will be taking control of Cecil who is out to stop the evil sorcerer Golbez who is trying to use a bunch of powerful crystals to destroy the world. Pretty much your average day in the life of Final Fantasy. FFIV was when the whole idea of switching out party members really started to come into play as well.
So we still have some time to wait till we can get our hands on this new installment into the series. When the iOS version is released, we will actually be able to see what the game looks like as well.

Vaughan takes the plaudits
England batsman Michael Vaughan has been named Professional Cricketers' Association Player of the Year after his golden international summer.
The Yorkshire opener was awarded the prize at this year's ceremony at the Grosvenor Park Hotel in London.
Vaughan scored 900 runs in Tests against Sri Lanka and India this summer, including four centuries.
He twice narrowly missed out on reaching a maiden double-century as he and Indian batsman Rahul Dravid fought to be the top run scorer in the four match series.
Over the course of the summer, he improved his Test average from 31 to 47 and is now set to take on the Australians in harness with Marcus Trescothick, who won the award in 2000.
Although his contribution to Yorkshire's indifferent season was minimal due to international commitments, Vaughan did help them win the C&G Trophy, scoring 31 in the final and sharing an important stand of 93 with Matthew Elliott.
There was also good news for Worcestershire's paceman Kabir Ali who received the Young Player of the Year award.
Kabir has enjoyed a productive season taking 71 wickets as his county fought hard for promotion from division two of the County Championship.
He also claimed 21 scalps in the National League at an average of 26, where the Royals missed out on the title by two points.
Kabir's reward is a berth in the Academy squad in Australia through the winter.

Came here last weekend to look around for some new couches. We were greeted and helped by Tran. We were able to find couches for a decent price which included matching pillows and even found a dinning table as well. Tran was wonderful and answered all our questions. We do have to wait 2 weeks for delivery but for the overall price it's well worth it! This is our third time purchasing furniture from here and we always leave happy!
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
great store with fantastic customer service. Lily and Robert helped me out and were fantastic to work with. Looking forward to our new couch.
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
Solid selection and more than competitive prices. What really made the experience was Tony! He was awesome, patient and didn't try to pressure me at all. He worked really hard to find the right bed and mattress for me, also he never tried to upsell me. When I didn't like the height of the bed because of the box spring, all Tony said was bring it back... No hassle, no drama! Priceless! I'll definitely check them out the next time I need something and I'll be asking for Tony!
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
Great customer service! We came in with our three crazy young kids which aren't the quietest bunch, but everyone here was super friendly and understanding. My only complaint would be when you're spending over $2,000 on a sofa set free delivery would be a nice plus. We had to pay $120 for delivery as my husband has a broken back, or we would have done it ourselves.. but other then that they are great!
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
Thank you Ms. Lynda for all your help and recommendations, you really gave us a great customer service. Definitely 5+
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
I've made multiple purchases here and the staff is very friendly. Terri assisted from start to finish and I appreciate the time spent finding a couch and table.
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
Excellent place, friendly worker, and wide selection. Kenny helped us with our purchases quick and easy. Best place for furniture. Highly recommend!Thanks Furniture USA.
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
Great place . Great selection. Tran , our sales person was very helpful . Polite and professional. Will recommend Tran and this place. Thanks Tran .
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
Wow. Dan helped my fiancé and I out with furnishing our new house. He really knows his leather. Even though we didn't buy the sofas through him, he understood. But the following week, we bought 3 other items from him. They were having a sale. If you buy 2 items at regular price, you get the 3rd item for $1.00. We saved a ton of money with two coffee tables and a dinner cart. with the tortured wood, they match the gold-world look that we have going in our space now. This was a clean sale. Easy as pie.
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
This is the best place to look / purchase furniture! !! No pressure sales tactics, sales reps are knowledgeable and professional; always offer water, thoroughly go over the itemized sales contract. Very well organized and established business. They carry well made and stylish furniture and a wide variety. I have been a repeat customer and will continue shopping here. They even offer military discount! Overall a very pleasant buying experience. Other furniture businesses should follow their example.
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
So I have done business 3 times with them now and I must say I love coming here. Robert is great. Super friendly and easy going. Each time our furniture has arrived we have loved it and been very happy with it. We will definitely return for more pieces for our home. All around a great company all the employees are friendly and welcoming and they don't make you feel pressured into buying. Even checking out was pleasant Ron was great drawing up our final paper work and explaining all of the details to us. Definitely recommend this place to others!
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
This is my go-to furniture store for all of my household needs! Ron and Kenny were super helpful when I was there most recently. They are friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and helpful...no "stalking" while I browsed but there when I needed them! Also, I needed next day delivery and they made it happen for me! I highly recommend this store/location for your future furniture needs!
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
We have purchased 3 recliners here in the last two months. We used to be La-Z-Boy customers, but not anymore. The quality has gone down and the prices continue to go up. The recliners at Furniture USA are comfortable and sold at a very good price. Even their lift chairs are sold at a really affordable price. All their employees make you feel like a valued customer and they're super friendly, but not high pressure at all. The first two times we dealt with Victoria. We actually looked for her the second time we went in because we enjoyed working with her. The third time we went in she wasn't there so Kenny took great care of us. They deliver quickly, but their delivery window is pretty much all day. My only disappointment is that each style chair usually only comes in one color (sometimes two) and you can't order it in a different color fabric.
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
I am a first time buyer and first time financer. But this is by far the best experience I've had buying something. I walked in and we greeted by the lovely Lynda. She directed us straight to the bunk beds (what we came in for). And helped us find the right one for my girls. She was very quick to check the availability of our order. And even offered a discount. After filling out some paper work with Lynda I was directed to Leverra from Acceptance Now. She was a please to work with. We enjoyed a handful of laughed while completing my paper work for a loan. She was fast and very affiliate. And made my experience very joyful. After I was approved for my loan and crunched some numbers I was taken to Sandy. Sandy was done before I even knew it. She knows what she's doing. All three of them have made me experience absolutely amazing!!! Thank you!
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
Walked in and was immediately greeted by Terri's warm smile! She was very helpful and showed me some amazing furniture. I am very happy with my purchases and highly recommended anyone looking for furniture to stop by and ask for Terri. Also, they offer 90day internet free financing with no credit check. Leveria was helpful and got me approved super fast!!
We love our couch! Robert gave us a great deal and was very nice and professional throughout the whole transaction.
Great customer service and great furniture. Their furniture is great quality and for a great price.
Qadeer was our sales representative and was able to get me and my girl the best price on a California King Bed and Nightstands. We are very happy with out purchase. Thank you
I went to buy a sofa and love seat. Drove to a few shops around town and came across this place. When you walk in, the furniture up front looks very upscale - in fact, all of it looks upscale. Having been to a few shops, I knew that I wanted to start in the back and work my way to the front. They have a back area where there are more "affordable" options because I did not want to spend $3,000 to $5,000 on a sofa. Lynda was my sales rep - she found me wandering the floor and asked if I had been helped. I had already seen a set I wanted earlier in the evening (I left the store and came back) so Lynda was more than happy to help me out. She was very knowledgeable and personable on the manufacturing and maintenance of sofas. Her personality was bubbly and entertaining - my friend came with me and we both were very happy to have Lynda as our sales representative and felt like she would be a fun person to invite to your dinner party. The sofa and love-seat I chose came out to roughly $900 and then there is a $99 delivery fee. You can pick up your furniture, if you have a truck, before 5 on weekends and before 7 on weekdays, just an FYI. For the delivery window, they give you the entire day - so they don't specify which hour of the day. In my case, my sofas are coming this Friday anytime from 8am to 6pm or something along those lines - so keep that in mind if you're considering coming here. Definitely A+ service and very good looking furniture and an elegant looking store!!!
Thanks!Best , ~Furniture USA
I don't like the layout of the store. And I don't like sales people following me in the store while I'm browsing through the furniture.
i needed a sleep sofa after a phone call from someone staying at my cabin called and said the frame on mine broke. i called Dan Petty to ask about his stock so hopefully i wouldn't have to look all over the place. he suggested i come in. he had some suggestions when i got there. i went and tried out lying on one and bought it. The owner of the store helped check me out and told me where to go in a couple of days when i come to pick up the sofa. a very pleasant experience.
I really liked the professional costumer service and i would recommend other people to go here.
Every one during my entire moving process was extremely helpful!! Usually when you call any store about their online sales, they'll more than likely direct you to call their national customer service, but not here. I have to say I called at least 3 times (I kept thinking of more questions) and whoever answered the phone had no problem entertaining all of my crazy questions. I went straight to furniture USA after work and I can honestly say that everyone greeted me. They were pretty busy, but I did not have to wait long at all. I've had some pretty bad experiences with sales (car and furniture alike) so I made sure I had my ducks in a row, I even practiced my 'walk-out' speech. But Daniel and Victoria did not try to talk me out of my purchase or convince me to buy anything over an amount I wasn't going to be comfortable paying. I hope you guys know how much of a gem Victoria is!!! I was so happy with how nice and informative she was, and how she understands my love of 'things' *pillows, throws, and little gadgets*. She introduced me to this beautiful app that gives me access to all of those little trinkets I love at great prices. I am so in love with her! Getting my order finished and setting up delivery was a breeze. Now on to my delivery. I had a somewhat tight schedule because I would be moving in as soon as I got my keys, but my small window of time wasn't any hassle for them. I am a firm believer in under promise/ over deliver. Mohammed called me early on to let me know my timeframe and to verify that would work with my schedule. He also called to give me a direct time and when they arrived, I appreciated being kept in the loop. Tom and Mohammed were on time and man, were they fast! But still found time to be so friendly. It was raining today and my entryway remained clean and Tom and Mohammed were very professional. I really want you to understand how appreciative I am to have had such a stress free experience. You have great staff. When I'm ready to buy and furnish my house, you will be the first I call. Thank you so much. UPDATE 5.28.17 I'm still pleased with my initial experience with Furniture USA but I'm not understanding where the customer service went? The couch I purchased broke a few months after owning it. I called the store in the beginning of this year asking who I should contact and I was given the number to Ashley Furniture Corparate. After speaking with corporate, they asked for a purchase date. I called Furniture USA and asked them for my purchase info. When I got back into contact with Ashley, I was informed about the 1 year manufacturers warranty. This was mid-April, I purchased my couch April of last year, NO ONE MENTIONED THAT WARRANTY!!!!! My couch had a structural defect and I could have had my couch replaced but now I have to purchase a new one??!! And on top of that.. knowing that I've been in contact with the store for the last few months and me being a month over the anniversary, no one can help me??!! HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?! I really have to rethink my future furniture purchases.
Captain Dan is the man!

UBS and Deutsche Bank have maintained their "buy" recommendations on
The drilling services and products provider said that it could even exceed this, despite recent macro headwinds and depending on the timing of December shutdowns and the onset of winter weather in North America.
The company also reported that it expects three recent initiatives to significantly contribute to its growth in 2012 and beyond: the creation of Boart Longyear Financial Services; global expansion of mine water drilling services; and sonic equipment sales to the drilling industry worldwide.
UBS has raised its $A earnings per share forecast by 4 per cent for the year to December 2011, to 32.0 cents, and by 15 per cent for 2012 and 2013, to 41.5¢ and 47.7¢ respectively.
Deutsche Bank believes the company offers compelling value based on its 27 per cent discount to its long-run average P/E relative to the ASX Industrials ex banks and the 22 per cent total share holder return implied by its target price of $4, which remains unchanged.

Jason Dufner shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead over Graham DeLaet after the third round of the Zurich Classic.
Winless in 163 starts on the PGA Tour, Dufner lost playoffs last year to Mark Wilson in the Phoenix Open and Keegan Bradley in the PGA Championship for two of his three career runner-up finishes. The former Auburn star had a 17-under 199 total at TPC Louisiana.
DeLaet, from Canada, shot a 66.
Ernie Els and John Rollins were 14 under. Els shot a 68, and Rollins had a 69.
Ryan Palmer tied the course record with a 64 to join Steve Stricker and Cameron Tringale at 13 under. Tringale had a 68, and Stricker a 69.
Second-ranked Luke Donald was 12 under after a 66. He needs to finish at least solo seventh to regain the top spot from Rory McIlroy.
Defending champion Bubba Watson, playing in his first tournament since winning the Masters, was 9 under after a 65. He opened with consecutive 71s to make the cut by a stroke.

It is known that the total number of applicants who applied for appearing in the Teachers Eligibility Test in Assam was 3,56,914 and out of them only 3,24,793 candidates appeared in the test. Thus it can be calculated that around 32,121 applicants changed their mind and decided not to appear. There were few bad incidents of fraudulent activity in certain centres and as many as 20 candidates were disqualified for using unfair means. All these 20 candidates were from Dhubri district with 16 out of them belonging to South Salmara.
There was also news regarding some question paper leak prior to the exam and two persons were arrested in that regard. But, it was later confirmed that those question papers were not authentic and had no match with the real question set being used in TET Assam. After successfully conducting the exam in the state, the empowered committee of TET is all prepared for the proper evaluation of the answersheet and has made some transparent & foolproof arrangements.
The evaluation of the answersheet is being done using three scanners under 24 hours CCTV surveillance and in the presence of 10 distinguished educationist who would be supervising the entire assessment process. Also, the doors to the room will be opened in the morning and closed at the evening in the presence of a magistrate. The 10 eminent educationist selected as part of the neutral observers for supervising the evaluation process are Dr N.K. Choudhury, Dr A.C.Bhagawati, Dr K.M.Pathak, Dr Dinesh Ch. Baishya, Dr N.G.Mahanta, Mr D.R.Boro, Dr Hitesh Deka, Prof. Dilip Kr. Baruah, Dr Ramesh Pathak and Dr Kandarpa Das.
The TET Assam Results 2012 will be made available on 25th January and the same can be obtained both online and offline on that day. The procedure to get TET Exam Results in Assam will be announced later but it is known that the candidates will be able to check them on the department's website. Moreover, those candidates who would be scoring 60% marks or above will be provided marksheets by post to their communication address within 15th February.

Good workmanship and customer service.
Very happy with the service, came and picked up the car, brought it back the same day, nice people.
Picked up car and dropped it off post repair. Very competitive price for work. Good communication. Happy with result on my rear end damaged Audi S3. Will happily use again for future bodywork repairs I may need. Many thanks! Paul.
Great, everything was sound!
Fantastic, can't fault them!
Been to a dodgy garage before this one so was a bit tentative getting my first MOT, went straight through with the health check highlighting one recommendation to be done on the next service. They reconfirmed my grevence with the other garage with the findings and it was an easy trouble free experience.
Great, I'm happy with the service
A fast and prompt service a fraction of dealer prices using dealer quality parts. Car was collected promptly and delivered back washed and valeted. I will be using Global Autocare for all my car service/repairs from now on. an A1 service what more can I say?
Booked my Mrs car in here for a mot at relatively short notice, booking in was simple and at a time good for us. Its a very clean tidy professional garage with friendly helpful staff. Mot was done quickly with a small "common sense" issue rectified in situ and no fail forced on us,we were told promptly once it was done and even had a quick vac n wash (which was very welcomed as there was a huge bird turd on the window). Global were recommend to me by some lads from Elland Road, and I would recommend them in a heart beat.
Very good service - will probably use again in the future
All good
Worst garage I ever been. Was almost sure that the front left wheel bearing needed a change. They changed the rear one saying it was the worst one. The noise remained the same and after telling them that the issue is not fixed they started to blame the gear box which was never the issue in the first place. Whatever they are trying to prove I would not recomend anyone going there for any reason. Now I spent £120 and have exactly the same issue.
Fantastic, found the problem quickly, would use again
Excellent, no problems
Very good job!
Great value and costumer service
Parkside garage is realy helpful and I would definitely recommend, really great customer service and honest advice. My car wasn't fixed due to it being covered under warranty and the team were really helpful telling me who to ring, great listeners. Thanks guys Sophia :)
kept informed throughout the repair,honest and know what there doing,,,recommended
paid about the half of the quote, as problem was something else in the end
Absolutely brilliant, could not fault them!
Took my car straight in and I was out within the half hour. They tried to charge me more but hadn't realised that they had quoted a different price. Staff were helpful.
Friendly guys did a really good job on my car , i would recommend in and out
Quick, easy, nice waiting room as well which always helps!
Even though I'm of the understanding that I was slightly misquoted, they still honoured it and so i also asked them to do my M.O.T too. Few hours later I've got my car back and I'm very happy with their service. Speaking of service, I then followed up and booked my next service in with them for next month. Great place and will be going again and again. Thanks guys!!
The work was carried out quickly and it solved the problem thank you. However the car had oily hand prints on the left hand door pillar, right hand door pillar, the glove box, steering wheel and door handles. A simple wipe would of made this a five star review.
excellent service and great price. Higly recomended and the staff was very friendly and helpful. will definately go again!
Really polite , great customer service and wanting to do the best job possible. Will be using again
Excellent Service at a very competitive price. Will use again and definitely recommend
100% for this garage. Paul & his staff where exstreamley efficient. Had my car in & out in no time & air conditioning now working brilliantly. & was the cheapest around Leeds. I will be taking my car now for services & MOT & all future work. I would recommend this garage to anybody. Top guys & marks. Thanks
All good!

DIY fever + quality meat mania = old-school butchery revival! Artisan cooks who are familiar with their farmers market are now buying small farm raised meat in butcher-sized portions. Dubbed a rock star butcher by the ,em>New York Times, San Francisco chef and self-taught meat expert Ryan Farr demystifies the butchery process with 500 step-by-step photographs, master recipes for key cuts, and a primer on tools, techniques, and meat handling. This visual manual is the first to teach by showing exactly what butchers know, whether cooks want to learn how to turn a primal into familiar and special cuts or to simply identify everything in the case at the market.
About the Author
Ryan Farr is the owner and founder of 4505 Meats, where he makes artisanal sausages and his patented chicharrones, and teaches sell-out butchery classes for home and professional cooks. He lives in San Francisco. Brigit Binns is the author or co-author of 23 cookbooks. Ed Anderson is a photographer specializing in food and the people who make it. He lives in Petaluma, California.
In an era when more cooks want to take control of their food, eat humanely raised meat more responsibly, and enjoy it more, Ryan Farr's book is essential for its superb photography and clear, concise information on the craft of butchery. It's an invaluable resource for chefs and home cooks who want to make use of all parts of the animals we eat.-Michael Ruhlman, author of Ruhlman's Twenty and Charcuterie

Pledge to Preserve the Stories of the African American Experience
In 2013, the country commemorates two events that changed the course of the nation — the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation and the 1963 March on Washington. Separated by 100 years, they are linked together in a larger story of freedom and the American experience - African American history IS America's history. To commemorate these two pivotal achievements, the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), in collaboration with the National Museum of American History (NMAH), presents an exhibition that explores the historical context of these two crucial events, their accomplishments and limitations, and their impact on the generations that followed.
When NMAAHC's doors open in 2015, exhibitions like this and more will make it a place of meaning, of memory, of reflection, of joy, and of hope. The stories, objects, and treasures housed in the NMAAHC's museum will remind us of where we've been; the challenges we still face and what we can become.
Pledge to support the newest museum of the Smithsonian Institution—the National Museum of African American History and Culture—and help preserve the treasures and history that will stimulate a dialogue about race and help to foster a spirit of reconciliation and healing.
By pledging your support today, you'll help NMAAHC:
--- Create a place to tell the stories of African Americans from the earliest days of this country to the election of the first African American president and beyond—moments of pain, but also moments of joy and inspiration
--- Allow all Americans to explore and revel in the African American experience, an experience that has affected and shaped us all
--- Recognize the journey that all Americans have taken together, from Emancipation to the Civil Rights movement, from Harriet Tubman to Barack Obama
--- Serve as a place of collaboration and knowledge sharing
To share this important piece of the American experience—the NMAAHC needs your support.
I believe that African American history IS America's history. I support the National Museum of African American History and Culture as a beacon that reminds us of what we were; what challenges we still face; and what we can become.
Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture started this pledge with a single signature, and now has 62,247 supporters. Start a petition today to change something you care about.

Some other things... I liven in Hell, AKA: Jr. High and High School, where I was severely Hazed and Bullied to the point I spent my last year alone in the art room or library because I couldn't go anywhere else without having something happen to me (Like; food thrown at me, my backpack dumped out, getting my head slammed into lockers, my swimsuit and things cut up and shoved down toilets, verbal and physical attacks, my books getting destroyed, my art pieces for class getting stolen, os on and so forth.)
Other things....I love art, archaeology (historic, mainly, but pre-historic works), doing intricate nail designs for the hell of it, meeting new and interesting people, doing mind-bendy-twisty puzzles and movies. I love Horror, zombie, apocalypse, thriller, and any combination of those in a game or movie!!
~Drawing technical and lifelike drawings with my right hand, and looser abstract drawings with my left hand.
~I am ambidextrous and use it to the fullest extent!
~Cooking made-from-scratch meals, desserts, appetizers and so on. Also creating flavorful new drinks! I love cooking for other people!
~I can speed read, type, and retain information.
~Massages. I studied the human body and massage therapy for two years, so I am good at knowing problem areas and making you feel a hell of a lot better than when you first came in! And no, no happy endings for you.
~Impromptu everything, such as; solving conflicts on the spot, relationship drama that suddenly crashes into me (because seriously, everyone I know, EVERYONE, has come to me at least once for advice, and it usually works)
~I'm good at being an analytical and rational thinker, coming up with an outsiders point of view that sees both problems and where they will lead based on answers given. -_- creepy, I know...
1. Espresso
2. My laptop/internet
3. Books
4. Friends that truly care for me
5. Did I mention Espresso??
6. The ability to travel to new places across the world
That being said, I have taken back control of my life, and am working through these things, recognizing that I am intelligent, otherwise I wouldn't have a 3.4 GPA in college, that I can sing and dance (mostly belly dancing) but am shy about doing it in front of people. My body is another thing. I don't feel attractive at all, and it is a constant on my mind what she said to me.
So, there is a secret that a few people know about, and now you. Please don't feel frightened or discouraged by this in any way! I'm still a pretty awesome person, hehehe.

AN extra £10,000 is being ploughed into Worcester's CCTV system as the city gears up for a busy year.
The city council's Conservative leadership has agreed to ring-fence the cash into a special kitty so that extra staff can be handed shifts to monitor the camera network.
The imminent opening of the Worcester Arena – a £15 million 2,000-seater sports facility in Hylton Road – and attractions at the Hive and the city's growing nightlife means more and more people are expected to enjoy what Worcester has to offer.
During a meeting of the Conservative cabinet, it was agreed to stump up the money so extra staff could be on hand to look at cameras during busy periods. This follows a request by Labour councillor Joy Squires who said it would help people visiting the city feel safe.
Councillor Simon Geraghty, the city council's leader, said: "Over the last year we've had the Queen's visit, the Olympic Torch relay, we've had to respond to the opening of the Hive and generally there doesn't seem to be a problem with CCTV.
"But safety is important, as is people's perception of safety, and monitoring of the cameras is part of that. While I don't think there is evidence of a problem, we are minded to put this small resource in as a buffer. Safety is one of the council's key priorities and if this helps reassure people, we are happy to do it.
"It means that for planned events we've got a reserve we can dip into."
Coun Jabba Riaz, the cabinet member for safer and stronger communities, said: "From a city point of view we've dem-onstrated that we are cap-able of ensuring the safety of our citizens. Safety is part of the police and crime commissioner Bill Longmore's plan and I'll be feeding into this as part of that process."
Cameras in Worcester are looked at 24 hours a day by dedicated staff at Pershore's civic centre after workers were relocated there from the police's Castle Street base in 2011. Following the move the council slashed funding from £150,000 a year to £40,000.
Around six staff look at 100 cameras at the civic centre covering Worcester, Droitwich, Evesham and Pershore, but as they work shifts only some are on duty at any one time.

Strum or thrum should be used, and not drum, when the noisy and unskillful fingering of a musical instrument is meant.
She heard the thrum of the string, and then a piercing scream.
There was one Anchises, a twice five-fingered Trojan, that (as old stories say) used to thrum her jacket.
They had not heard the thrum of the motors on the roadway outside.
"thrum, thrum, thrum," the swing of oars; despite that the rhythm was muffled and subdued.
The man on the table who held the guitar began to thrum on the instrument.
Some thrum a musical instrument the livelong day, and, when they wake at night, proceed at once to their musical performance.
Perhaps he has returned from another world to thrum a harp, or it may be only a banjo.
When he touches Rossetti's lute his melody is blurred by the thrum of the strings that the Italian's fingers have so lately left.

European Art Pottery
For centuries, art pottery and fine porcelain pieces have been a European speciality, whether it's a Gouda or Delft vase from the Netherlands, a Meissen figure from Germany, or a colorful Majolica platter from Italy. During the Art Deco period, Czechoslovakian artists produced brightly colored pitchers and bowls decorated in geometric and floral designs. Austrian sculptor Walter Bosse got his start making whimsical ceramic objects before moving on to bronzes, while tin-glazed earthenware known as faience continues to be a source of pride for French ceramists.

Cravings: eager desire or yearning.
We all have them, food addictions or cravings.
Some cravings are constant. For example, I can't see tiramisu without my mouth-watering and I can think of nothing else until I have some. So why torment myself? And I crave my coffee in the morning. Without it, I'm useless.
Some cravings come and go. Like a favorite dish at a restaurant or ice cream during the warm summer months. Maybe it's some weird food during a pregnancy or perhaps it's the undeniable urge for salty snacks.
Maybe it's not what you eat but when you eat. Maybe late-night food cravings drive you to pillage through the cupboards while everyone else is asleep.
Right now we are addicted to Spiced Bitter Bar Nuts, from Bitters: A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-all.
These nuts are amazing, best served warm, and the entire four cups never last more than two days in our house. I fear we may all actually turn into nuts at the rate we are shoveling these into our mouths, just like Burger Boy who will only eat burgers, eventually turns into a burger, and is chased all over town by people who want to eat him. I wonder who would want to eat us if we turned into nuts? We have plenty of squirrels in the backyard…I think that is a children's book just waiting to be written.
While these nuts taste good on their own, we thought they might taste just as good in biscotti spiced with some additional Bitters and rosemary. We were right!
Spiced Bitter Bar Nuts
4 cups unsalted and raw nuts, pistachios, pecans, almonds, and walnuts
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary (We used dried rosemary, cut and sifted.)
1 teaspoons cayenne pepper (We used only half this amount to keep it tolerable for the kids.)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Angostura bitters
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
1. Preheat the oven to 350.
2. Spread the nuts out on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 minutes (shake the nuts around on the pan halfway through.)
3. Combine the brown sugar, butter, rosemary, cayenne, cinnamon, honey and bitters in a large bowl.
4. Add the nuts to the bowl and mix thoroughly so they're nicely coated.
5. Add the salt and mix again.
Nutty Bitters Biscotti
YIELD: approximately two dozen
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely ground cornmeal
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ tablespoons dried rosemary, cut and sifted
2 eggs and 2 egg whites
1 tablespoon Bitters
1 teaspoon Spiced Bitter Bar Nuts
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place the rack in the middle of the oven.
2. In a large flat-bottomed bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and rosemary.
3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and Bitters.
4. With a rubber spatula, stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until the dough just starts to come together. Dust your hands with flour and knead the dough in the bowl until all the ingredients are incorporated and the dough is tacky.
5. Add the Spiced Bitter Bar Nuts. Knead the dough until incorporated, about 10 – 20 times.
6. Separate the dough in half. Form two logs, approximately 3 inches wide and 1 inch high on a parchment lined baking sheet. Leave several inches between the logs, the dough will spread as it bakes.
7. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, or until the tops begin to crack or split. Transfer logs to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
8. Transfer biscotti logs to a cutting board. Slice the biscotti on a diagonal and place cut side down on the same parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, turning the biscotti once halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
