Emporia State professor earns national awardJanuary 30, 2012
Dr. Joe Yanik, professor and chair of the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Economics at Emporia State University, was awarded a certificate for meritorious service from the Mathematical Association of America.
The award was presented Jan. 5 during the 2012 Joint Mathematics Meeting in Boston, Mass. According to information from the MAA, the award is presented for service at the national level or to a Section of the group.
According to information from the MAA, Yanik has been an active member of the Kansas Section for more than 20 years and has served as secretary-treasurer since 2006.
"As secretary-treasurer, Yanik has been the backbone of the Section leadership, providing a sense of continuity and wisdom that helps keep the Section running smoothly, even as the other officers come and go," stated the MAA news release. "Joe cheerfully agrees to serve in any way asked of him, as well as on his own initiative.
"Joe also serves on the Committee on Sections, which has indirectly benefitted the Kansas Section in several ways," the release continued. "In particular, he recognized a number of ways that our Section could improve, which inspired him to spearhead a review of the Section bylaws ahead of the schedule required by the national office. He chaired the committee that drafted new bylaws that will hopefully be put into place soon."
Yanik also is helping plan an upcoming regional meeting the Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska/SE South Dakota Sections. Other roles within the MAA include serving as associate editor of LOCI and serving on the Committee on the Teaching of Undergraduate Mathematics.
Yanik joined the faculty of Emporia State in 1990 along with his wife, Betsy, also a professor in the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Economics at Emporia State University. The two met in graduate school at the University of Kentucky. They have two daughters, Elizabeth and Mary.

Graduation stories: Sisters Elizabeth and Yadira Gonzalez set example for familyMay 11, 2011
When sisters Elizabeth and Yadira Gonzalez accept their diplomas on Saturday, about 20 people in their extended family will be in the audience, many traveling from California and their native Mexico.
The sisters lived in Jalisco, Mexico, before coming to the United States with their mother and siblings to join their father in California before moving to Kansas.
So far, Elizabeth has been the leader on the path the entire family is walking. Now 24, she graduated from Highland Park High School in Topeka in 2005. Yadira, 22, graduated in 2006.
Elizabeth waited for Yadira to finish high school then both enrolled at Allen County Community College. Eventually, they found themselves enrolled together in The Teachers College at ESU.
"Except for two semesters, every semester we took the same exact classes," said Yadira.
The pair saved money by carpooling from Topeka to ESU for classes.
The two chose The Teachers College for its national reputation in the field of teacher education. Once they started taking classes, the benefits of their choice was apparent.
"It's not a job for them," Elizabeth said about The Teachers College faculty. "They have a passion for the job."
Both Elizabeth and Yadira have worked to take that passion with them into the classroom, a step that separated them although both did their student teaching in the Topeka Public Schools — Elizabeth at Whitson Elementary and Yadira at Meadows Elementary.
The pair are so much alike that they find themselves drawn to the same elementary-education positions.
"We want dual language," said Yadira. "We want ELL (English language learner)."
Already they've both interviewed for the same position.
"We're not trying to compete," Yadira said. "Our philosophy is, if somebody has to have the job, it should be one of us.
"If she has it, I'm going to be super happy, as long as one of us has it."
With their mother a retired teacher, the Gonzalez sisters enjoy carrying on a family tradition and also setting an example for other family members. A brother and sister already are taking classes at Allen County Community College. Two younger sisters are in middle and elementary schools.
And both Elizabeth and Yadira have their own children watching their examples. Elizabeth has a 4-year-old daughter and a son born four months ago during her student teaching. Yadira's son is 2 ½ years old.
All will be in Emporia on Saturday to see the sisters walk across the stage.
"It's like the end of almost five years of our sacrifices," Elizabeth said.

REPORT: Late wickets boost Sussex at New Road17-May-2012
Sussex kept Worcestershire at bay on Day Two of their LV=County Championship clash at New Road, as the visitors kept a lead of 84 going into the third day of the match.
Early morning rain at New Road didn't affect the start time and shortly after 11.00am it was Steve Magoffin and James Anyon who picked up where they had left off the evening before, aggressive in their strokeplay and taking their partnership past 50 to accumulate useful runs at the end of the order for Sussex.
The first wicket of the day saw Anyon trying to work Gareth Andrew to leg but only gaining a huge top edge, which saw Richard Jones run in from fine leg to take a good catch, a similar dismissal to that of Ben Brown a day earlier. Monty Panesar was bowled shortly after by Jones to give him his third wicket and see Sussex left the field 315 all out, with Magoffin unbeaten at the other end who played nicely for his 41.
Sussex had to wait until the 18th over to make the breakthrough with the ball and on a chilly day to field, Anyon beat the hosts' skipper Daryl Mitchell for pace as he was trapped lbw. Wickets didn't come easily though and it was after luncheon interval when Magoffin tempted fellow Australian Michael Klinger into nudging one to Michael Yardy at slip.
Both Vikram Solanki and Moeen Ali looked comfortable at the crease for Worcestershire and were three shy of the half-century partnership when Panesar struck, with spin introduced to the match for the first time. Solanki looked to charge him but the ball almost yorked the former England man who departed for 34.
James Cameron showed authority by getting off the mark with a huge six from Panesar which disturbed the tiles on the roof of the New Road Stand but his downfall came when he prodded from the same bowler and Chris Nash took a sharp high chance at short leg.
Worcestershire went in for tea at 123 for 4 and in the opening over after the second interval, Anyon managed to find the edge three times of Moeen (twice) and Pardoe but no chance went to hand. Moeen reached his watchful half-century from 129 balls as a chilly evening session set in at New Road.
The pair played nicely and fell only four runs short of a century partnership when Naveed Arif Gondal made the breakthrough. Moeen looked to play through mid-wicket when he was rapped on the pads, departing for 85. Andrew, returning for his first Championship match of the season, joined the long list of lbw's as Magoffin claimed his second wicket.
It was another later wicket from Gondal which really turned the day and perhaps the game in Sussex's favour. Pardoe, who had played a watchful innings, edged behind to Brown and Worcestershire were reduced to 217 for 7, still 98 behind Sussex.
The hosts had nightwatchman Jack Shantry and Ben Scott at the crease at the end of the day's play and closed on 231 for 7, 84 behind Sussex.

Emporia State students plan to tackle Zumba record againApril 6, 2012
So far, spring in Emporia has been unseasonably warm, but we don't expect triple-digit temperatures to derail a second attempt to set a new world record for a Zumba class.
In September, Emporia State organizers worked to get 1,500 people to fill Welch Stadium for a Zumba class to break the record of 1,223 people set by the City of Brownsville, Texas, and the University of Texas Houston School of Public Health. Unfortunately, hot weather limited the participants in Emporia to 1,036.
At 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 11, Emporia State's Recreation Services wants at least 1,500 people to gather at Welch Stadium to participate in a Zumba class taught by Zumba Jammer Amy Hayden of Emporia. Zumba is an easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning "fitness party."
The free event is open to everyone.
"We want to encourage everyone in the community to come help us reach the record," said Whitney Runer, assistant director of recreation services at ESU. "And don't worry if you have never done Zumba before because no prior experience is necessary to join."
It's simple to participate — just be on Jones Field at ESU's Welch Stadium by 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 11. The gates open at 6:15 p.m. and you'll be given a wristband. Give yourself enough time to get in and be ready to Zumba at 7 p.m. The class runs one hour.
Revenge of Zumba is part of the Fun Fit Week planned by Recreation Services. The four days of events are open to Emporia State students, the Emporia community and others who want to participate. On the schedule are:
- Monday, April 9 — Obstacle course challenge, Welch Stadium, 6:30 p.m.
- Tuesday, April 10 — Outdoor games, Welch Stadium, 6:30 p.m.
- Wednesday, April 11 — Revenge of Zumba
- Thursday, April 12 — Balloon Blast, soccer pitch (northeast of the rec center), 6:30 p.m.
For more information, call the Emporia State rec center, (620) 341-5944 or visit www.emporia.edu/recsport. You also can check out the Zumba event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/368851296488846/.

I don't have Italian blood flowing through my veins and I have to admit when I was little, my knowledge of that country's vast cuisine ended (and began) with pizza, lasagna, ravioli (usually canned) and spaghetti. But when I was in my teens and started venturing beyond my limited culinary sphere, I discovered the joy of many new Italian flavors, including butter-and-cream sauce, which I became obsessed with creating at home. My mom has called this my white phase since most of what I ate was, of course, white. And one of my favorite snacks was baked ricotta cheese smothered in the cream sauce, garlic and freshly chopped rosemary, no pasta necessary (though it's also sort of white and wouldn't have been completely unwelcome). It was so rich, creamy and delicious, it could make me weep. And heck, I was still a kid so I had no concern about either my heart or my waistline and could indulge guilt free in such a decadent dish.
I've since moved beyond the white-food phase, and fortunately am now an equal-opportunity eater of foods of all colors. And while nobody would have predicted this 20 years ago when thoughts of fruits and vegetables were anathema to my diet, I now not only frequently shop at the farmer's market but also am even (gasp!) toying with the idea of committing to a CSA share for the summer and fall. I'm excited about the prospect of getting a ton of fresh vegetables every week while also helping out a local farm, but I hesitate to sign on the dotted line because I'm afraid I'll miss shopping at the market, which I'd be less inclined to do if I already have a fridge full of vegetables at home.
There's just something about seeing the vendors selling the fruits, vegetables, grass-fed meat, cheese and seafood that fills me with such joy. And it's become my favorite way to spend a lunch hour. My options would probably be better if I was one of those early risers (I keep missing the scallops and bacon, for instance) but I take what I can get, which is part of the fun. And while there are more vendors at the Union Square Greenmarket, the market I frequent by my office has a tenth of the crowds and much cheaper prices. Plus, most of my fellow shoppers are United Nations employees so, for instance, when two people are reaching for that last basket of strawberries, an air of diplomacy hangs over what could have turned into an ugly interaction.
This week they finally had ramps. My heart skipped a little when I saw them in all their muddy, leafy, white, green and aromatic glory. I have never cooked with ramps, which are also known as wild leeks, and have only eaten them on rare occasions. In college we had wild onions growing in our yard that would stink up the joint something fierce after a rain (a good stink, mind you, if you like the smell of onions). We'd pull them out of the ground and eat them raw, in ramen noodles or with beans and rice. But I don't know if those were technically ramps or not, so this bundle marked my first official foray into the world of working with these lovely lilies.
As I tried to decide what to cook with my ramps, I petitioned friends and scoured the Internet for ideas. I saw many recipes that scrambled them with bacon and eggs or added them to biscuits, which sounded tasty but a bit uninspired. And one friend said her brother makes a zesty ramp and potato salad, but there were no young potatoes to be found at the market when I shopped.
But lately I've been slightly obsessed with gnudi (yes, it's pronounced nudie) that pillowy Italian dish made up of creamy poached ricotta cheese. If you're not familiar with it, think ravioli filling without the pasta (hence the name, which means naked in Italian) or gnocchi without the potatoes. Tender yet firm on the outside but oozing on the inside, it's slightly naughty but oh so heavenly. And since ramps taste like the marriage between onions and garlic, I thought they'd be the perfect addition to this luscious, rich dish.
My hunch did not disappoint. The ramps were a spectacular match for the cheese and since I sautéed them before adding them to the ricotta mixture, they were pungent but not overpowering. As I ate the gnudi, I realized that I probably love it so much because it reminds me of that baked ricotta dish I made back in my teens; it took me back to a time when the culinary horizon was vast and filled with much uncharted and delicious territory. Yet even though back then my baked ricotta was a vehicle for cream sauce, I decided for this recipe that such a heavy garnish would be gilding the lily (and the arteries) so I opted instead to top my gnudi with just a simple brown-butter drizzle mixed with more ramps.
Unfortunately, ramps have a very short season. But I know I'll be back at the market this week to grab some more as they are my newfound taste of spring. Plus, I'm eager to try that salad my friend mentioned and I bet the fingerling potatoes should be arriving soon. But more than that, cooking with ramps has reminded me that the culinary horizon remains vast, despite my years, and it's always a joy to discover new flavors.
Are you a fan of ramps? What do you like to make with them? And help me make a decision—do you participate in a CSA and what do you find to be the pros and cons?
Gnudi with ramps and brown-butter sauce (adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe for gnudi)
1 bunch of ramps (12 ramps)
1 pound of ricotta cheese
1 egg
3/4 cups of flour plus more for a dredge
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 stick of butter (113.4 grams)
Clean the ramps and remove the roots.
Finely dice the bulbs and julienne the leaves.
On medium heat, sauté the diced bulbs in one tablespoon of olive oil until soft, about three minutes. Add the julienned leaves and sauté another minute or so until soft but still green. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, 3/4 cup of flour, Parmesan, salt, pepper, nutmeg and half the sautéed ramps (about 1/4 cup).
Bring a pot of salted water or stock to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
Meanwhile, form gnudis by taking a tablespoon of the cheese mixture in floured hands, roll it into a ball, flatten it, and then dredge in flour to coat.
Gently place gnudis four at a time in simmering water, and when they float to the top (about three minutes), gently remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. They will be very delicate, so handle with care and keep cooked gnudis separate. Repeat until all are cooked.
Melt a stick of butter in saucepan on medium until nutty brown.
Place gnudis on a plate, drizzle with brown butter and garnish with remaining sautéed ramps.
Feeds four to six.

Ooooooh! I'd forgotten about gnudi! I saw Giada DeLaurentis make them the other day, and knowing my wife's very Texan love of all things cheese. (OK, who am I kidding, I'm a Cali boy and I love it too), I'd planned on making some, then promptly forgot after going on another turkey binge.
Thanks for reminding me, yours looks abso-freakin-lutely delicious!
- Jerry said...
Look naked to me! I'm personally not apart of a CSA, but my friends who are love it. I'd be a part of it, but the one I wanted was $400 upfront and as a poor college student that wasn't going to happen. I just go to the farmer's market and get stuff.
As for ramps, never had them, never heard of them and are very intrigued by them.
My current love is peaches. Fredericksburg just got started and they are juicy. Making a pie tonight! Let you know how it goes.
- Kim U said...
This is our 2nd year in a CSA, and we really love it. I think the biggest pro is really getting to know the people growing your food. Our CSA is small (only around 40 shares), so we really have a good interaction with the farmers. We do still go to the market sometimes though, just to see what other produce is out there and for things like cheese that our farmers don't do.
- Danielle said...
Ramps! I love your use of them. ('Course, I love most any use of them.)
- Alanna said...
Ramps! I'm still peering around, hoping, hoping. Thanks for the inspiration, yes this is inspired in the way other ideas I've seen aren't quite so much.
- Olivia said...
Ohhhh no no no no no no no, that is a very very very very VERY naughty dish!!!
In art historical terms, "ignudi" is a word used to describe nude statues.
- Olivia said...
P.S. Sounds good though. I have never heard of ramps, far as I can remember. How do they compare with, say, chives?
- n. said...
I love ramps! I use them in any and everything: quiches, stirfries, soups, whatever. I've been eating them for a few weeks now just putting them in everything. Just glorious! Last week I made a stir fry with ramps, market pork (I go to Union Square as my office is ON Union Square) and fiddlehead ferns. Fantastic! I also made a quiche last week with ramps, asparagus and maitake mushroom. YUM.
As for CSAs, the only time I belonged to one was when I lived in New Haven. There wasn't a great market there, and the CSA was marvelous. Now, I would miss shopping in my current market. If I worked elsewhere, I would consider the CSA again. But I literally walk through this greenmarket to get to work. THe temptation is too much to resist.
- Jennie said...
I know I'm waaay behind, but what exactly is a CSA? Sounds intriguing at any rate.
Last I used ramps was in one of those "I have nothing in the fridge I can eat" dishes where I made a quick salad of bulgur, canned kidney and garbanzo beans and whatever vegetable scraps I had. They lent a nice fresh garlicky taste, if a bit on the pungent side.
- Lydia said...
Oooh, I've never tried gnudi -- now I'm inspired! As for CSA, I've found that if I get a half share, I still am shopping at the farmers markets to fill in the gaps.
- christine (myplateoryours) said...
This looks drop dead divine, Lisa! I love ramps. I can't find them locally, but I have a ramp tart I make when I can get them. A chef friend who has better sources than I pickles them and has them year round -- they are a great addition to all kinds of things.
I have belonged to a CSA and found that I still shopped at market since the CSA tended to give us tons of what was flourishing in the participating farmers' fields but maybe not so much else. Besides, like Lydia said, you don't need to get a full share, and that leaves you some leeway.
I think the best CSAs are made up of a combination of farmers so you get a wide variety of produce (preferably one like the one I am thinking about this year, that does eggs and cider and other interesting stuff.) I have never regretted joining a CSA and my only hesitance comes in over my travel schedule. When I am going to be gone too much to enjoy it, I don't join, or I find someone to pick up the box on the weeks we are gone.
- Homesick Texan said...
Jerry--The love of cheese knows no boundaries!
Jerry--Sigh, I wish we could get Fredericksburg peaches here, but they don't leave the state. I hope there's still some when I come in August. And I don't know if they have ramps in Texas--I'd never heard of them until I moved here.
Kim--That's definitely one of the appeals for me, getting to know the farmers. Especially when you live in the city and have such a disconnect with nature, that interaction seems like it would be very fulfilling.
Danielle--Thanks, and that's high praise coming from such a creative cook as yourself!
Alanna--Thank you, and they're in full swing here so it shouldn't be long for you.
Olivia--Since they're also known as wild leeks, I'd say they're closer to those than chives. The bulb is similar to a scallion, though.
N--Now that's something else I haven't tried yet, fiddlehead ferns. I saw some at Union Square on Saturday--I think I'll pick some up this week. I'm intrigued! And thanks for your input on CSAs. I think I'm leaning towards doing it less for the bounty and more for the "helping the farmer" aspect. Though if you shop at the market you're also helping the farmer.
Jennie--CSA stands for community sponsored agriculture. It's where the consumer buys a share of the farmer's harvest, and every week you get several pounds of just-picked produce, all very seasonal and fresh. And I love creative meals like that, such a fun challenge!
Lydia--I think the half share is probably the way for me to go as well due to my travels, etc.
Christine--Why thank you! A CSA made up of a combination of farmers sounds terrific, but unfortunately that's not an option near me. The ones I have to choose from just do vegetables, but if you pay more you can also get fruit. That said, one I'm looking at will sell you flowers, honey, eggs and grass-fed beef you if you place a special order. But I think it would be more fun to just get these things in the regular box.

Lovely stuff....
Good lord, did someone made a ramps and fiddlehead stir fry? Can you get any -more- spring in there?
The one downer to a CSA is that the pickup times can be a bit inflexible, and can be tough if you're a 9-5'er.
- SteamyKitchen said...
i'm so sad....i've never had ramps before... :-(
can't find them in markets...thanks for listening. I'll just hide in the corner and mope.
- MissE said...
this looks amazing!! i'd love to make this recipe, but alas, no ramps to be had in Seattle.
what would be the best substitution? scallions and garlic? shallots and garlic? leeks? hrmmm....
i'm interested to know what you think!!
keep the goodness comin'!!!

Girl, you took me right back to the farm. When I was growing up in Munday, TX my dad grew vegetables on a fairly grand scale. He helped pioneer seedless watermelons, as I'm sure I've mentioned. Mom would say, "Get me some potatoes and onions for dinner." Off I'd run barefooted in light colored, soft, hot sand. I'd find the nearest turn-row that had an irrigation pipe with cold ground water running through it, and hop on to cool my sizzling feet. I have to say, it don't get no betta than that.
Grow your own! We'll love to hear your adventures in farming. You can always go to the market to roam and fill in the gaps.
Again, a very inspiring, lovely article and recipe.
- Lisa said...
Ramps -- how wonderful. And I'm ashamed to admit that, though of Italian descent, I've never heard of gnudi! How is that possible? Must rectify that situation.
I was a cofounder of the CSA in our area, but after a while I found I just enjoyed going to the market instead. It wasn't a question of not being willing to use what was given to me, but more that I missed the market, and couldn't really afford to do both. So now I am in a buying club for meats, but am not in a CSA. It works for me.
- Sean said...
Art films? Ha! Gnudi! That's all they are. Gnudi!
Sorry, had a little Valley of the Dolls moment there.
If you wanna get technical (and you know I do), they're pronounced "nyoodee," but they're delicious no matter how you say it.
- Susan said...
I love roasted ramps with a medley of mushrooms, such as morels and chanterelles in a wine and butter sauce.
I've been wanting to make gnudi; thanks for the inspiration!
- The County Clerk said...
For some reason, this one looks like something I might actually attempt. Thank you.
- Freya and Paul said...
We don't have ramps over here (that I know of) and they resemble spring onions which you know as scallions. Must do more research on these as they sound wonderful! I love the gnudi/nudey 'pasta' too!
- Homesick Texan said...
Inane--Thanks. And, yes that's one of my concerns the limited window of time to pick up your box.
SteamyKitchen--Don't be sad, I'd never had them either! It's just something to look forward to trying someday!
MissE--I think leeks with garlic would be your best substitution. Maybe two leeks chopped and three cloves of garlic minced.
Texann--What a wonderful memory! And that's what my mom said, at the very least being part of a CSA would give me fodder for the blog.
Lisa--You must try them, they're so pillowy soft, a joy to eat! And that's my fear, there's less romance in picking up a box than wandering through the market.
Sean--Thanks for the correction! And no need to apologize, but beware, you've got to climb Mount Everest to reach the Valley of the Dolls !
Susan--Mmmm, morels. I haven't seen any yet but am hoping there are some at the market today.
- Homesick Texan said...
Hank--You're welcome, and if you cook it, please let me know how it turns out for you. Do you have ramps in your yard?
Freya and Paul--They are like the marriage of leeks and scallions. And I believe they are just an American lily, but I could be wrong.
- eonyc said...
I only started hearing about ramps last year via gothamist.com, and never heard of fiddlehead ferns til this post! Then yesterday I got my freshdirect.com email, and they are putting BOTH on sale this week!
I'd also never heard of CSA, and today's Daily Candy NYC email is all about it!
Talk about posting some timely topics!!
- rob said...
Well, Lisa, since you asked, Rachel and I are partial to a spaghetti with ramp pesto dish we tried last year when I found ramps for the first time at my local market. You probably know this already, but those things pack a powerful punch, and this pesto doesn't try to hide it in any way, shape, or form. We posted about it here.
As for CSAs, we've also toyed with that idea, but have not yet joined one. Our concerns are similar to yours, I think: we like going to the market and choosing what we want. Still, there's something about committing that just seems like the right thing to do.
By the way, your observation about the diplomacy at your market is brilliant.
- wheresmymind said...
Cheese, Olive Oil and Butter...sounds like a winning combo to me!
- Acme Instant Food said...
Well, I know nada 'bout gnudis and I've never joined the ramp camp (okay I know that was bad I couldn't make anything else rhyme). My problem is that the farmer's markets around here conflict with my work schedule and the Saturday morning ones...well, lets just say that my Saturday mornings are usually reserved for recovering from Friday night (or usually just some selfish down time for myself).
I've decided that I have to get my hands on some ramps because people wax poetic about them every spring. I'm sure I'll love them as I never met an onion I didn't like and I think that garlic is nature's perfect food. Your LOVELY photos, complete with little glimmering dew drops, are reigniting a desire in me to taste some.
- Homesick Texan said...
Lori--Quite timely, indeed! And I had no idea FreshDirect had such an awesome produce selection--I can't even get ramps or fiddlehead ferns at my local Whole Foods.
Rob--Great post, thanks for sharing! If there are any ramps this weekend, I think that's next on my list of things to do with them. As for the commitment factor, I think it's a great thing to do, but shopping at the farmer's market also helps the farmer, albeit on the back end rather than the front end. And I hate to say this, but that was my favorite line in the post so thanks for the compliment! Plus it's very true!
Wheresmymind--You can never go wrong with cheese, olive oil and butter!
Acme Instant Food--I hear you about Saturdays! One of the CSAs I'm considering (because they do a half share) has a Saturday morning pick up and I'm saying to myself, "Is that what I want to do first thing on a Saturday? Saturdays are for sleeping late!" Especially since I work until about 10pm on Fridays. But yes, try some ramps. Hurry, because they'll be gone soon, but I bet you'd love them.
- Vanessa said...
You know how I love our CSA but I still go to the farmers' market for meat... I'm still looking for my rabbit.
Ramps are heavenly...I think they are best lightly wilted and served along side a big fat piece of grass-fed, medium rare, grilled to perfection, beef. Now that's what i'm talking about.
- Kristen said...
I have never had this before, but I am intrigued now. This recipe sounds really good!
- soma said...
Hi- loved ur blog, its my first visit:) have to admit, i just made up my mind to make some home made biscuits...i'm never sure if i can get it done correctly, hence never tried. happy cooking:)
- Homesick Texan said...
Vanessa--I do know how much you love your CSA and your postings on it was partly what prompted me to consider joining my own. And while I haven't been able to find rabbit either, I do know I can get a grass-fed thick piece of beef at the market--a perfect match for ramps.
Kristen--It is really good, especially if you like cheese!
Soma--Welcome! Good luck with the biscuits, they're very easy to make.
- Callie said...
Gnever heard of gnudi, but it sounds good and I happen to have some ricotta in my fridge.
No ramps in Texas, but we do get wild onion all over the place. I've seen those fiddlehead ferns before, but I've never been brave enough to buy them.
I love and hate my CSA. I'm single, so I actually split a box with a friend. An entire box would be way too much for me.
I love the CSA because it's fresh, organic produce. I've tried all sorts of new veggies thanks to it (swiss chard, broccoli rabe, green garlic, fennel, rutabagas). And I've had wonderful tender asparagus for about a month now.
The downside is that you'll wind up eating some of the same veggies week after week. I've been pulling my hair out over what to do with all the swiss chard and other dark greens I've been getting weekly for two months. I like my greens, but not that often! I wind up throwing out some of it...and then feel guilty for doing so.
I still go to the grocery store for plenty of items that the CSA doesn't provide, such as meat and dairy. My CSA does offer meat, eggs, and coffee as special orders, but I'd rather pick out my own in a store or farmer's market.
- bea said...
I even had no idea that these existed. Thank you so much for making me want to explore and look for them now!
- gilly said...
Hi Lisa! I'm with Bea - I too have never heard of these, but they really intrigue me... I'll have to keep my eyes open - either locally or in travels - where ever they show up!
- Julie said...
I've also considered joining a CSA, especially now that the building I work in is a delivery point for the CSA I would join, but I enjoy and look forward to my trips to the market and have (so far) decided against it.
Shopping at the farmer's market is also a way to support small, local farmers.
On the other hand, joining a CSA is an even better way to support small, local farmers, plus there seems to be a fun, creative element to being handed a batch of vegetables every week and figuring out what to do with them.
Your gnudi look great, by the way.
- Homesick Texan said...
Callie--Thanks for the input. I'm excited about the prospect of the creative challenge of cooking with vegetables I might not otherwise eat, but yes, all those greens! I had a friend who split a box and still ended up with five heads of lettuce each week--I love my salad, but still!
Bea--You're welcome. And I bet they have them in Boston since they're all over the East Coast all the way up into Canada.
Gilly--They're really wonderful, if you see some you should definitely try them!
Julie--Yes, that's sort of my conflict--while I know shopping at the market helps the farmer, joining a CSA helps them more. I'm just worried about not being able to finish all the vegetables, which is wasteful.
- peggyvan said...
I may be mistaken but as I recall Ramps are an endangered species. I have seen them growing [but I'd best not say where]in Ohio.
- tasteofbeirut said...
Very interesting post. I don't think i have had these. I would love to try and after reading all these comments maybe joining a CSA is the way!
- aerospoon said...
found your site recently and have been really enjoying your recipes and photographs. i made some fresh ricotta last night and tried this recipe since i had some ramps in the fridge - it turned out delicious! thanks for sharing all of your culinary ideas!

William and Kate enjoy Uluru sunset
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were left marvelling at Uluru at sunset after spending the day in the Australian outback.
William and Kate watched as the landmark sandstone outcrop - also known as Ayers Rock - changed colour before their eyes from a luminous red to a deep purple as the sun dipped below the horizon.
Ahead of their visit to the site, revered by local Aborigines, the Duchess described it as "absolutely stunning" after seeing it from the air while landing at a local airport.
The couple were able to spend more than an hour visiting Uluru before watching the magical sunset.
William and Kate's day in the heart of Australia saw them meet indigenous people from across the country when they visited a training academy aiming to put Aboriginal workers front and centre in the tourism industry.
And they received a traditional welcome from elders from a local community - and a souvenir spear.
Before enjoying the sunset, the Duke and Duchess posed for photographs with Uluru in the background, just like any other tourist couple - but it was the world's media taking the pictures.
After the cameras were put away, William said to Kate: "I actually thought the sun was going to be behind us for some reason, but it's the other way around."
A school girl, who was lucky enough to witness the photo opportunity, joked about the flies that plague anything that moves.
She said: "You were both like magic when the photos were being taken. I was like 'How are they not swatting flies away?'."
Kate laughed: "I know. It was difficult", while William added: "They were all coming for us."
Uluru was named Ayers Rock in 1873 by surveyor and explorer William Gosse in honour of the then chief secretary of South Australia, Sir Henry Ayers.
The sandstone rock, which rises 1,142ft (348m) above the red earth around it and has a circumference of 5.8 miles (9.3km), was formed over hundreds of millions of years when sand was deposited on the bed of an inland sea.
The seabed was compressed into rock and then turned through almost 90 degrees by the shifting of tectonic plates, meaning the layering of the sandstone of Uluru is almost vertical today.
Over hundreds of millions of years, a mountain range that surrounded Uluru was eroded away, leaving the unusually hard sandstone monolith exposed.
Its red colour comes from the oxidisation of iron-bearing minerals within the rock through exposure to air and water. Below the surface, the rock is grey in colour.
William summed up his feelings about Uluru when he told Kate: "It's a beautiful sight though. Quite breath-taking."
Kate changed out of a Roksanda Ilincic dress she wore earlier into a patterned one from high street chain Hobbs for the visit to the landmark.
Earlier, the royal couple enjoyed a rare moment of solitude when they visited a water hole at the bottom of Uluru.
They strolled alone to the secluded spot along the Kuniya walk and were rewarded by the magical sight of a pool of black water surrounded by weathered and sweeping walls of sandstone towering above them.
Tour guide John Sweeney, who accompanied the Duke and Duchess's Aboriginal guide, Sammy Wilson, said: "We let them have a bit of time to themselves, which is pretty rare on a trip like this."
William said: "It is nice and peaceful there - a beautiful spot. It is special."
When the guides re-joined William and Kate, they pointed to two important ancestral beings surrounding the waterhole, Kuniya - the python woman - and Liru - the poisonous snake man - who was hit over the head with a stick by Kuniya to avenge the wounding of her offspring.
Kate chuckled when she read the information on the boards close to the water.
After the couple's brief private moment, the group walked to a small cave, where they viewed Aboriginal artwork painted on to the base of Uluru.
Mr Wilson was well placed to explain its significance to the local Aboriginal settlement of Mutitjulu as his grandfather was the artist.
Mr Sweeney said: "Sammy told them the ancestral story, which relates to how this part of Uluru was formed.
"Sammy showed the cave paintings that his grandfather did, which was one of the last paintings done at Uluru.
"They were very interested in everything that was said. They were an absolute pleasure. They were very inquisitive. They said the rock was very impressive."
Earlier, in a welcome ceremony at a cultural centre in the shadow of Uluru, William and Kate watched as two senior Aboriginal women and a senior man danced and acted out the stories of creation and their ancestors.
The royal visitors, who sat in the shade to escape the stifling heat, were also presented with gifts.
Kate was given a necklace made from natural elements found in the desert -painted gumnuts and rich red ininti seeds.
As the main performance ended, William stood to be given a paddle-shaped hand-made shield called a tjara.
The shield has an ancient history as a defence against spears and clubs.
Before touring Uluru, the couple visited the National Indigenous Training Academy to present recent hospitality and catering graduates with their certificates.
They then went on a brief walkabout, meeting well-wishers who had gathered in the grounds of the academy.
Kate chatted to Amanda Bartels, 30, who had driven for five hours from Alice Springs to see the royal visitors.
Speaking about Uluru, Kate told Ms Bartels, who was holding her 10-month-old son Nathan: "It's absolutely stunning from the air."
The 30-year-old mother, who also brought her five-year-old daughter Aimee-Grace to see Kate, said after meeting the Duchess: "I asked her if she was missing George and she said she was so I said my son could be her George substitute.'
"She let him play with her bracelet and she said 'You like that, do you want it?'.''
During the visit, William was presented with a spear by husband and wife indigenous couple Kamurin and Sherelle Young, who are students at the academy and hope to become managers in hotels.
The royal couple marvelled at the long weapon made from local wood and carved to a sharp point.
Mrs Young said afterwards: "William was pleased, he was so thankful. I told him it was made from wood from the Mulga tree and that it had kangaroo vein, used as twine, on it he was shocked he said 'Wow'."

Achronix sampling first Intel-built FPGAs
4 comments
NEW YORK--Achronix Semiconductor Corp. said Wednesday (Feb. 20) it is now sampling its first 22-nm FPGAs, the first chips built by Intel Corp. for the programmable logic startup.
Although Achronix is delivering the first samples of its Speedster 22iHD1000 FPGAs about four and a half months later than originally planned, some customers--presumably in the telecommunication, networking, test and measurement and high-end computing fields--have been working on designs that will feature the chip for nine months, according to Robert Blake, Achronix president and CEO. The company expects OEM systems featuring the 22-nm FPGAs to reach the market in the second half of 2013.
Achronix (San Jose, Calif.) made a big splash in 2010 when it announced it would use Intel as a foundry partner. It was the first publicly announced foundry deal for the world's biggest chip maker, which builds the Achronix chips using its advanced 22-nm, 3-D tri-gate transistor technology.
The delivery of the first Speedster 22i FPGAs is an important milestone in a multi-year strategic relationship Achronix, said Sunit Rikhi, vice president and general manager of Intels custom foundry business.
Blake acknowledged that the companys decision to be Intels firs foundry customer wasnt easy. Potential risks and concerns among its engineering team were far and wide. They included such issues as restarting the companys design process, learning new development tools, acquiring new IP, increasing development costs and possibly delaying product introductions. However, in retrospect, it was absolutely the right decision, said Blake. Intel, he added, catapults us ahead of our competitors with its 22-nm process technology. Achronix believes that at the 20/22-nm process node, Intel is almost two years ahead of either TSMC or Globalfoundries.
Another advantage in going with Intel is that 100 percent of manufacturing of Achronix FPGAs is done in the United States, as Intel operates wafer fabrication in Oregon and packaging and device testing in Arizona. For our customers in the military and aerospace industry, 100 percent Intel manufacturing in the U.S. means protecting security, said Blake.
But the biggest upside for Achronix came when Intel offered IPs, including high-speed general purpose input/output (GPIO), serializer/deserializer (SerDes) used in high-speed communications, embedded memory blocks and PLLs. By using these hardened IPs as cell-based logic around its FPGA, Achronix was able to save area, reduce power consumption by half, and cut cost and design time similarly, Blake explained.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Alongside a successful line of Mirrorless Hybrid cameras Panasonic continue to refresh their lineup of fixed lens Bridge cameras. Launched in July 2012 the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ200 offers a 24x super zoom, 12fps continuous shooting and 1080 60p HD video. Upgraded from its predecessor, the Lumix DMC-FZ150, this latest model also boasts a fixed maximum aperture, higher resolution EVF, greater ISO and shutter speed ranges as well as a new HDR mode.
Introduced in mid September, the Olympus PEN E-PM2 is the second generation of Olympus' entry-level Micro Four Thirds hybrid camera. It sports a newly updated design with a useful, fixed grip and a touch-screen interface among other updates, but the big news is that it has inherited the sensor of the much-admired Olympus OM-D E-M5, the current top-of-the-line Micro Four Thirds camera.
Panasonic is adding its ninth model to its growing Lumix G-series lineup. In July, the Japanese electronics giant announced the Lumix DMC G5 would replace the Lumix DMC G3. Like its predecessor, the G5 taps the increasingly popular mirrorless Micro Four Thirds technology that Panasonic co-developed back in 2008 with its cross-town Tokyo rival Olympus.
Olympus caused a sensation when it revived the legendary OM line that had enjoyed its heyday in the silver halide era. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 successfully revisits the OM design in terms of its ergonomics and workmanship. Olympus has quite precisely taken advantage of this new family in its line of compact hybrid micro 4:3 cameras to introduce a new 16 Mpix Live MOS sensor. What is this new sensor all about? Does it represent an improvement over current Pen sensors? Does it help the micro 4:3 category to catch up with the APS-C hybrids (with the Sony NEX in the lead)? Our sensor review provides the answers.
Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality.
It's rare in the world of photography for a manufacturer to come up with an entirely new product line from scratch, and it's equally rare for a famous manufacturer such as Nikon (the world market leader) to offer a new lens mount (Nikon CX). This makes the launch of the Nikon 1 line (Nikon J1 and Nikon V1) a major event in photography this fall.
Announced 2 weeks ago, the successor to the Panasonic G2 has already been tested and briefly reviewed on DxOMark. The Panasonic G3 is more than a simple revamp of its predecessor; this new model represents a leap forward for the G Series with:
When speaking about the G3's sensor in their press release, Panasonic proclaimed it was much better than its predecessor at high ISO settings. With that said, let's check out the DxOMark results.

Each week we scour the web for insightful articles to share with the Founder Institute network.
This week's top articles include how to dominate business in 2014; what makes Silicon Valley a massive hub for technology; how to split equity with your co-founder; and more.
Check out our must read articles for the week of January 5 - January 11:
|Planning Ahead: 5 Steps to Dominating Business in 2014
|This year is speeding by and 2014 is just around the corner. While many people wait until New Year's to get their personal and professional lives in order and create the change that they know was long overdue, you shouldn't have to. It is, after all, true that delay is the greatest form of denial.
|How Silicon Valley Became The Man
|Silicon Valley has been taking a lot of heat lately for its power and elitism. That's only natural for a region that has rapidly gained enormous economic and cultural clout. But it seems especially ironic that this is happening in the San Francisco Bay area, that one-time headquarters of flower power where entrepreneurs have long fashioned themselves as rebels and iconoclasts battling robotic rivals (Microsoft, IBM) and liberating workers from the hierarchical ways of corporate life.
|How to Calculate the Equity Split Between Co-Founders in a Startup
|There are a lot of variables to go into calculating a fair equity split a startup team. These key factors must consider each employee's role(s) within the company, the compensation they receive for their work, the people investing in the company, and the people behind the idea of the company. Let's tackle each of these points below.
|Top 4 Traits VC's Desire in Startup Founders
Having a great, defensible business idea in a scalable market is only part of the puzzle to attracting venture capital. A more important part is having a backable management team that can pull off the execution of the plan. Below are the top 4 traits VC's desire in their startup founders:

FBI Director Robert Mueller told the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday, yes, the government does use drones over U.S. soil for surveillance — but not too much.
When asked by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) about the use of unmanned aircraft, Mueller said "Our footprint is very small. We have very few," according to Wired.
Grassley pressed, asking about their purpose, to which Mueller said they were for surveillance. Surveillance on U.S. soil?
"Yes, in a very, very minimal way, and seldom," Mueller said.
The Huffington Post reported Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) expressing privacy concerns over the use of drones and calling them "the greatest threat to the privacy of Americans."
In terms of privacy protections built into the drone program at the moment, Mueller said the program itself "is very narrowly focused on particularized cases and particularized needs," which he called "the principal privacy limitation we have."
He did say the bureau was in the "initial stages" of developing privacy guidelines though.
In May of this year, Attorney General Eric Holder revealed that the Obama administration had killed four Americans using drones in Yemen and Pakistan. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) also showed letters sent by Holder that said "the President has the power to authorize lethal force, such as a drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, and without trial."
The FAA was charged with drafting new regulations that would open up the skies of America to more private, commercial and military drone use by 2015.

An African warlord serving a 50-year sentence in an English jail for crimes against humanity claims he is being denied the right to a family life.
Charles Taylor, the former Liberian president who reportedly ate the hearts of his enemies, says his incarceration in a prison in County Durham keeps him from his wife and 15 children in Africa.
The UK agreed to imprison Taylor, 66, after he was convicted in 2012 of 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including terrorism, murder, rape and using child soldiers during a civil war in Sierra Leone in the 1990s that left tens of thousands of people dead.
He has lodged legal papers with the United Nations' special court for Sierra Leone in The Hague, claiming that his detention in the UK breaches his human rights.
Taylor's lawyer John Jones QC claimed it would save UK taxpayers' money if the war criminal was allowed to serve his sentence in Rwanda alongside the other prisoners convicted by the court.
The Daily Mail reported that Taylor has written to the court arguing that his family should be able to visit him more easily.
He wrote: "My position is that serving my sentence in Rwanda, in my home continent of Africa, would be substantially more humane not only on my own account, but also on account of the impact on my family."
He also said he feared being attacked by other inmates at HMP Frankland and that prisoners carrying out their "own brand of justice" will soon lead to him being seriously injured or killed.
Mr Jones told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: " What he has applied for is for the revocation of the sentence to be served in the UK so that he can serve his sentence in Rwanda where all the other prisoners convicted by the special court for Sierra Leone are.
"He is not suing the British Government, he is not seeking damages from the UK and, on the contrary, for the UK taxpayer it would be much, much cheaper if he were to serve his sentence in Rwanda with all the other prisoners from the special court."
Mr Jones added: "In the eight months that he has been in the UK he has not received a single visit from his wife and children. He has minor children. When he was in The Hague on trial, he had regular visits, they came, they saw him, they went back."
But he said British immigration officials were blocking family visits because they are "not satisfied that they are going to return to Liberia after their visit to see him, which is ridiculous".
The lawyer added: "What we are saying is the UK has a duty to ensure family life, not just for him but for his family. It's a clear duty under international law and English domestic law. If the UK is unable to make these family visits possible, no matter what he has been convicted of, he is going to serve a 50-year sentence, he has got a right to see his wife and children."
As well as the problem with getting visas to visit Taylor, there were also the barriers of cost and distance, Mr Jones said.
"There is also the point of principle: he is the only person convicted by the special court for Sierra Leone to be transferred to a continent outside his continent of origin. That's never happened before.
"One has the impression that there is a deliberate will to isolate him, not just in the UK but in the very north of the UK, where it is even difficult for London counsel to see him.
"Everyone else is in Rwanda, it would be better for the UK taxpayer, why does the UK wish to keep him here?"
Conservative MP Dominic Raab condemned Taylor's legal move, telling the Daily Mail: "It shows the corruption of human rights that such a brutal warlord, convicted of crimes against humanity including terrorism, rape and conscripting child soldiers, thinks he can claim jail violates his right to family life.
"If he's successful, it would turn British human rights laws into a laughing stock around the world."
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "Charles Taylor is being treated in accordance with the United Kingdom's obligations and in the same way as any other prisoner in England and Wales."
Taylor aided rebels in Sierra Leone during the brutal civil war in the 1990s which left 50,000 people dead.
Thousands more were left mutilated in the conflict that became known for the extreme cruelty of rival rebel groups who hacked off the limbs of their victims and carved their initials into opponents.
Taylor helped to plan attacks in return for ''blood diamonds'' mined by slave labourers in Sierra Leone and political influence in the volatile West African region.
He was convicted not only of aiding and abetting Sierra Leone rebels from Liberia, but also of planning some of the attacks carried out by Sierra Leone rebel groups, the Revolutionary United Front and the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council.

Guidelines for early power analysis
4 comments
While design sizes and complexities are increasing steadily, the power budget for electronic devices is aggressively decreasing. This increased demand for low power design is driven by various factors. First, wireless devices cannot afford high power consumption due to the limitations of battery power. Second, even wired devices cannot afford high power consumption as the cooling costs are significant. Additionally, in the last few years, government bodies, such as the European Union, have recognized the need for energy efficient devices and have set strict regulations. So various forces are now compelling the market to produce power-efficient electronic devices.
It is very important for system-on-a-chip (SoC) designers to understand power consumption early in the design cycle to meet the desired power budget. However, one of the complexities involved is that in the initial stages of SoC design not much information is available to accurately estimate power. As the design progresses, power consumption becomes clearer with the availability of simulation vectors, technology libraries and decisions taken for synthesis and routing. On the other hand, the best time to optimize power is in the early stages of the design. The later it gets in the design flow, the harder it gets to make changes to reduce power. One of the biggest challenges for the designer is to have a set of tools and flows which can work right from the very early stage of the design through the later stages in the flow. This article discusses some of the challenges of setting up such a flow and shares five guidelines for early and accurate power analysis at the register transfer level (RTL) of abstraction. The RTL abstraction for an SoC is developed during the early stages.
Guideline 1: Leverage design activity information
One of the required pieces of information needed for any power analysis tool is the toggle, or activity information of the design. Simulation output files, like VCD and FSDB, contain detailed information of the switching activity of each net in the design. This is known as vector-based power estimation. Estimating power using this kind of information is very accurate but is time consuming.
On the other hand, vector-less power estimation is an approach to estimate the power based on probabilistic toggling information. This approach is much faster but can be also less accurate. Several case studies are available to explain why probabilistic power estimation can be inaccurate, primarily because of loss in spatial and temporal correlation between the signals. This is however not just related to the signals.
Consider that you are estimating the power of a memory and have the activity and duty cycles for each net connected to the memory. In the technology libraries, the power table for the memory is described as follows:/* DISABLED POWER */
internal_power() {
related_pg_pin : "VDD" ;
when: "(!BISTEA & !MEA & !DFTMASK) & !LS";
rise_power(INPUT_BY_TRANS) {
values ("0.342393, 0.342393, 0.342393, 0.342393, 0.342393");
internal_power() {
related_pg_pin : "VDD" ;
when: "(!BISTEA & MEA & WEA & !DFTMASK & RMEA & RMA[0] & !RMA[1] & !RMA[2] & !RMA[3] & !LS)";
rise_power(INPUT_BY_TRANS) {
values (" 5.791451,5.791451, 5.791451, 5.791451, 5.791451");
internal_power() {
related_pg_pin : "VDD" ;
when: "(!BISTEA & MEA & !WEA) & !DFTMASK & !RMEA & !LS";
rise_power(INPUT_BY_TRANS) {
values (" 5.067451, 5.067451, 5.067451, 5.067451, 5.067451");
The power for the memory varies significantly based on the different when conditions in the library model. So even if we get an accurate toggle rate and duty cycle of all the nets in the design, no simulation output will provide the duty cycle of these when conditions. This is because these when conditions are not present as nets in the design. So even if you have a very detailed VCD file for the design, to accurately calculate power, the power analysis needs to do an internal cycle-based simulation.

Inwood to engage KC-area ESU alumniSeptember 14, 2011
Efforts to strengthen connections between Emporia State University and the largest metropolitan concentration of ESU alumni in the country will take on new focus with the recent appointment of Nancy Inwood of Olathe as Kansas City-area coordinator for the ESU Alumni Association.
Inwood earned her bachelor's degree in communication from ESU in 2000. She joins the Alumni Association after a ten year career with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, where she most recently served as regional coordinator for Kansas and Missouri and was responsible for a $4 million fundraising budget to provide services to persons with neuromuscular diseases.
"I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to work with ESU alumni in the Kansas City metro area," said Inwood." It is exciting to be able to work directly with so many great alums and share my talents and skills with Emporia State."
"With over 9,000 alumni in the Kansas City metro area, we need a professional staff presence to reach that audience," said Tyler Curtis, director of alumni relations.
ESU's Kansas City-area alumni group annually stages a series of successful events, including a spring golf tournament and the upcoming Oct. 6 Boulevard Brewery social event. "Nancy will work with our alumni volunteers to enhance those activities," Curtis said.
For more information, contact the ESU Alumni Association at (620) 341-5440 or email Nancy Inwood, email@example.com.

REPORT: Beer brews up wickets in crucial CB40 victory for Sharks15-Aug-2012
Sussex Sharks returned to the summit of Group C of the Clydesdale Bank 40 this evening with an impressive 17 run victory over rivals Warwickshire Bears at The PROBIZ County Ground, Hove, with Will Beer and Chris Nash both taking three wickets in a close-run finish, after the runs of Michael Yardy had given the hosts their total.
With skipper Ed Joyce winning the toss and electing to bat, the Sharks made 199 for 9 from their 40 overs as Yardy top-scored with a superb knock of 61.
When Sussex were reduced to 34 for 3 it looked as though the Bears would be well on top in this encounter but the repair job by Murray Goodwin (36) and Yardy was sufficient to take Sussex on to a competitive total, boosted by some late hitting from Kirk Wernars (37 not out). Both Chris Wright and Keith Barker took three wickets for Warwickshire.
The Bears knew that keeping wickets in hand could be the key to winning this contest with only five an over required but they hadn't budgeted for some tight slower bowling from the hosts.
Yardy's eight overs only went for 23 but it was the leg-spin of Beer (pictured) that really played havoc with Warwickshire's order and he claimed figures of 3 for 27 to dislodge batsmen who were well set at the time and looked capable of carrying the visitors over the line. Jim Troughton's 30 was the top-score for the Midlanders although five other batsmen passed 20 and couldn't go on.
Nash also got in on the act late on and infront of a crowd of nearly 4,000 at The PROBIZ, the Sharks returned to the top of group and re-ignited their bid for a semi-final place after last week's defeat to Derbyshire Falcons. They now travel to Yorkshire Carnegie on Sunday in the hope of stretching their lead at the top.
