The show began at 8:24 p.m., with "Wrecking Ball," the new song about Giants Stadium and its imminent destruction that Springsteen premiered at opening night of this five-show stand, Wednesday.
There were no major surprises early on. The first six songs were all also played on Wednesday. A fast "No Surrender" brought a bit of punk-like energy into the show, though, and Springsteen delighted fans by racing through the crowd, on the stadium floor, during "Hungry Heart." Afterwards, he collapsed on the stage, as if exhausted by the effort, but got right back up.
The "Darkness On the Edge Of Town" portion of the show began with the seventh song, "Badlands." Springsteen announced on Monday that he and the band will play one classic album, in its original order, at each show on this stand.
They are not attempting to play note-for-note reproductions of the songs as they were heard on the albums, but are playing them as they play them now.
"Badlands," for instance, retained the reprise that has become a custom when Springsteen plays it live. "Adam Raised a Cain" featured an extended, howling Springsteen guitar solo. "Racing In the Street" had a gorgeous, extended instrumental interlude as well, featuring keyboardist Roy Bittan. Guitarist Nils Lofgren, who wasn't on the album, added a stunning solo to "Prove It All Night," pulling every virtuosic trick out of his bag.
The band played "Born To Run" on Wednesday. It will play "Born In the U.S.A." tomorrow and on Oct. 9, and "Born To Run" again on Oct. 8.
The "Darkness" segments feel more momentous than the "Born To Run" segment did on Wednesday, because quite a few of these songs, such as "Something In the Night," "Streets Of Fire" and "Factory," only make rare appearances at Springsteen concerts these days. Only "Meeting Across the River," from "Born To Run," is comparably rare.
The band took a well-deserved collective bow after the "Darkness" songs.

As he did on Wednesday, Springsteen let a young fan sing part of "Waitin' On a Sunny Day." But this time, he did it after climbing up into the stadium's lower tier, on the side of the stage.
Springsteen collected fans' requests, written on signs, as the band played "Raise Your Hand." Springsteen propped up signs for "I'm Goin' Down" and "Be True" as he and the band played sharp versions of these songs. They also turned in an appropriately raucous version of the requested Elvis Presley hit "Jailhouse Rock," which, according to Springsteen, they had never played before.
For those keeping a scorecard: Curt Ramm, the trumpeter who also appeared at Wednesday night's show, was back. Patti Scialfa is absent, as she was on Wednesday.
Max Weinberg played drums for most of the evening. His son, Jay Weinberg, subbed for him on "Born To Run," and kept a furious beat.
There were fireworks, as the were on opening night, after "American Land."
It was a cool night, but not as cold as Wednesday, and there was some rain late in the evening.
The show ended at 11:12, after 30 songs. At two hours and 48 minutes, it was a little shorter than Wednesday.
Here is the show's setlist ("Darkness" songs are in bold, asterisks denote songs not played on Wednesday):
"Wrecking Ball"

ITV is searching for Jewish families in Manchester to star in a television documentary about levels of religious observance in the community.
Although filming is not due to start until February or March, on Thursday some preliminary footage was shot at Manchester Jewish Museum, following Holocaust survivor Jack Aisenberg.
But producer Chris Malone said the focus would be more on a "celebration" of Jewish families and their events.
He said: "We are hoping to find three families from a broad spectrum of religious observance.
"Our programme is solely focused on the Jewish community in Manchester since it's the second biggest in the country. The production is also coming out of Granada, so Manchester is our home base really."
Mr Malone has been responsible for a number of documentaries for ITV including following Poirot star David Suchet, explaining some of the behind-the-scenes real-life dramas on the Orient Express.
The ITV show is the second documentary to focus on the Manchester community after Channel 4's BAFTA-nominated The Family began researching Jewish families for its next series.

In the last few months, two mixtapes from Crosby have been circulating throughout the ether, additions to a collection of archival media from this artistic multidisciplinarian also known as Crosby Coolest, Clockwork Cros and Crosmopolitan.
New York Posterboy, a concept project set in the offices of the New York Post, follows an eager cub reporter working to break Crosby to the paper. To explain Downtown 85 best, we'll borrow from the press materials, which describe it well. Downtown 85 "appropriates upon the narrative of Basquiat and his fellow urban artists who come from around the world to the Manhattan's Lower East Side to work with a shared sense of freedom". The vibe definitely invokes a bohemian existence, and the narrative, a series of skits that string the project together, helps visualize the evolution of the artist, his path through life and his LES surroundings.
With an eclectic mix of poetic hip hop, these two projects demonstrate Crosby's unique musical lane, thoughtful and experimental, but not unapproachable. Both projects showcase a conceptual approach to hip hop that we enjoy, and each have individual gems, but the appreciation for Cros' ideas are heightened when ingesting each project as a whole.
On the surface, Crosby doesn't command immediate attention. He doesn't necessarily possess a voice, swag or demeanor that immediately stands out, but as with good modern art, an open-mind and a few looks/listens, will provide heads who favor artistic, intellectual and progressive hip hop, something to connect with.
As we mentioned, Crosby Coolest has several vehicles to display his creativity; music, crafting clocks for sale, working with Swizz Beatz, supplying artwork for his Monster Monday music series, and video production projects. Find out more about Crosby Coolest at www.crosmopolitan.com.

Businesses around the Holland area are fueling the drive to pass a tax levy for upgrades at Tulip City Airport.
A coalition of some 80 employers, West Michigan Works, became the latest business group to formally endorse the 0.1-mill levy that goes before voters in four communities May 6.
As with other supporters, West Michigan Works views the question as supporting a critical economic driver for the area.
"We have to have the infrastructure for our companies to be able to access their customers around the world," West Michigan Works executive director Randy Boileau said. "Communities prosper and grow when they make smart decisions about investing in infrastructure, and this is an investment that's going to come back and pay returns time and time over a period of years."
Earlier support came from the Holland Area Chamber of Commerce, the Zeeland Chamber of Commerce and the Holland Area Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Individual corporations and business leaders that use Tulip City Airport also are on board, forming a ballot committee, the Jobs and Economy Team, or JET, to support the issue.
The ballot committee through the end of 2007 raised $54,000 to promote the millage proposal.
Campaign coordinator Jim Storey expects much more to have been raised by the time the next campaign finance statements are filed in late April.
The corporate and business support for the airport reflects how vital Tulip City is seen among business leaders, Storey said.
"For them it's an economic development issue," said Storey, who concedes the tax levy remains a tough sell to the general public.
"We have to convince people that this is a worthwhile investment," he said.
If voters in all four communities - the cities of Holland and Zeeland as well as Holland Township and Park Township - all approve the millage, it would generate $384,000 annually to pay for airport upgrades, including new instrument-landing equipment to replace an aging system.
The money also would pay to have U.S. Customs Service inspections conducted at the airport for flights arriving from overseas. Corporate flights now landing in Holland must stop first at Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids for a customs inspection before continuing on to Tulip City.
Among the corporations backing the millage proposal are Haworth Inc., Johnson Controls Inc., Gentex Corp., Tiara Yachts and Herman Miller Inc. - all of which are global corporations and use Tulip City to connect with clients around the world.
"We're in a global economy. If you want to expand and reach out in a global economy, you have to make it easier to get here," Storey said.
Tulip City Airport last year handled more than 52,000 takeoffs and landings that included 2,000 flights hauling freight and 24,000 passengers on charter and corporate flights.

HUNH. Those letters emblazoned on the front of a new Auburn T-shirt sold at J&M Bookstore tell the story of a football strategy: "Hurry Up, No Huddle."
On the back, the shirt paraphrases a quote by Coach Gus Malzhan: "Quit Your Whining (You Get 3 Time-Outs)."
The shirts sell for $14.99 each here.
Many T-shirts worn by 'Bama fans today will focus mainly on the "Saban Nation" and the university's collection of National Championship trophies.
Here's a look at some 2013 T-shirt slogans. Click the price to see photos of the shirts.
What Auburn fans will be wearing today
While there will still be plenty of T-shirts lamenting the April loss of the poisoned oaks at Toomer's Corner worn in Jordan-Hare Stadium today, some new slogans focusing on Auburn's hurry-up offense and Malzahn's debut as head coach will be plentiful.
- A variety of "Gus Bus" slogans. With the arrival of former offensive coordinator as head coach, Auburn fans celebrate the arrival of a new era in football. Most Tees have the slogan, "Get on the Gus Bus" ($15.99, available at most stores) but one version says "In Gus we Trust." ($14.99, Kinnucan's). Another version says simply: "The Gus Bus: SEC Express." ($19.95, eBay)and "All in the Gus Bus," playing on Auburn's fan slogan, "all in." ($21.99, Skreened)
- "Fast and Furious: Auburn Football." Another reference to the hurry-up offense. ($15.99, Tiger Rags)
- "It's back," on the front. The back of the shirt says: "Smash-Mouth, Fast-Paced, In-Your-Face Football." The slogan is a play on Malzahn's quote about "the blue-collar, hard-nosed, hit-you-in-the-mouth Auburn football that's made Auburn great." ($16.99, Tiger Rags)
See a related story on Auburn fashion trends here.
What 'Bama fans will be wearing today
Fans in T-Town today are focused on one thing and one thing only: a 16th national title.
Well, that, and making fun of Auburn.
- A T-shirt found at Gray and Holt Dry Goods in Athens refers to Auburn's 2012 losing season: "Bless Their Hearts, Tigers Try So Hard." ($19.95)
- Other shirts focus on Coach Nick Saban's legacy of three national championships. One shirt has a photo of the iconoic houndstooth hat worn by Alabama's "winningest" coach, the legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant beside the straw hat worn by Saban. The slogan says: "From One Tradition to the Next." ($19.95, eBay) Another shirt plays on the TV commercial featuring "the most interesting man in America:" Accompanying a picture of Nick Saban and a crystal football is the slogan: "I May Not Go to the Championship Game Every Year but When I Do, I Win." ($19.95, eBay)
- Other shirts focus on the number of national championships. One has the slogan: "#rolltideproblems" beneath a photo of a helmet with a No.15 on the side. It then reads "Having to change the number on your helmet again." ($19.95, Fanatics.com) A shirt featuring photos of championship rings says simply: "It's What We Do." ($24.95, Gray and Holt Dry Goods) Another shirt refers to the crystal football trophies awarded to national champions: "The Crystal Palace, Bryant-Denny Stadium." ($19.95, Roll Tide District)

A file photo shows Johnny Weissmuller, right, as Tarzan, Maureen O'Sullivan as Jane, and Cheetah the chimpanzee, in a scene from the 1932 movie "Tarzan the Ape Man."
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
PALM HARBOR, Fla. — A Florida animal sanctuary says Cheetah the chimpanzee sidekick in the Tarzan movies of the early 1930s has died at age 80.
The Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor announced that Cheetah died Dec. 24 of kidney failure.
Sanctuary outreach director Debbie Cobb on Wednesday told The Tampa Tribune that Cheetah was outgoing, loved finger painting and liked to see people laugh. She says he seemed to be tuned into human feelings.
Based on the works of author Edgar Rice Burroughs, the Tarzan stories, which have spawned scores of books and films over the years, chronicle the adventures of a man who was raised by apes in Africa.
Cheetah was the comic relief in the Tarzan films that starred American Olympic gold medal swimmer Johnny Weissmuller. Cobb says Cheetah came to the sanctuary from Weissmuller's estate sometime around 1960.
Cobb says Cheetah wasn't a troublemaker. Still, sanctuary volunteer Ron Priest says that when the chimp didn't like what was going on, he would throw feces.

SPRINGFIELD -- The legacy of the Sisters of St. Joseph was a recurrent theme when Elms College in Chicopee held its 82nd commencement on Saturday morning at the MassMutual Center in Springfield.
Speaker after speaker evoked the ideals of service, social justice and rigorous study promoted by the female religious order, which founded the college in 1928.
The graduating class of 415 was the largest in the history of the college. The audience burst into cheers when Elms President Mary Reap noted that some of the graduates were the first in their families to attend college.
They cheered again when Reap acknowledged the first students to graduate from the college's Master of Business Administration Program, the students who came from faraway places, and the students who will be going to Jamaica with Passionist volunteers this summer.
"We love you, we praise you, we're proud of you," Reap told the graduates.
Sister Maxyne D. Schneider, Ph.D., president of the Sisters of St. Joseph, gave the commencement address. Though her order has been in the news recently because it faces a dire financial crisis – neither the Vatican nor the Springfield Diocese are responsible for its financial well-being – Schneider emphasized the joys she has experienced at the Elms, first as a student, then as a chemistry professor and a dean, and currently as a trustee.
The earliest nuns at the Elms, she told the assembly, served as housekeepers, switchboard operators and house mothers for $50 a month until the 1960s. "We have invested our lives in this institution," said Schneider, "and it was worth the investment."
She also regaled the assembly with a story about how she left her mark as a student -- by accidentally connecting a water pump in reverse in a chemistry class and leaving an orange stain on the ceiling that lasted for years.
Michael D. Bissonnette, mayor of Chicopee, urged the graduates to "restore civility to our public discourse" and saluted the college's athletes with a fist pump and a shout of "Go, Blazers!"
Also speaking was class valedictorian Katherine Himmelman, of Southampton, who graduated with a 4.0 grade point average and a double major of history and secondary education. She urged her classmates to set goals and then push beyond them, quoting Robert Browning: "A man's reach must exceed his grasp,/ Or what's a heaven for?"
Himmelman also transfixed her listeners with a story about "my Nana," who was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago, subsequently suffered a stroke, and yet had such a fighting spirit that she was sitting in the audience.
Honorary degrees were awarded to Schneider and to Bishop Timothy A. McDonnell.

I stumbled upon this on my walk tonight in West LA, at Stoner Park… 😦
Yes I have reported it to LA Parks and Recreation.
What is "bad faith" in matters of equality [and stereotypes]
"…it is only necessary to act in the customary, ordinary, usual, even polite manner. Nonetheless, I doubt that any of us who does so is totally without the knowledge that something is wrong.
This great, fuzzy area of human ingenuity is what Jean Paul Sartre calls "bad faith." When spelled out the techniques use to maintain bad faith look morally atrocious and appallingly silly. That is because they are morally atrocious and appallingly silly. But this only shows when one spells them out, i.e., becomes aware of them. Hence this one effort among many to do just that."
Russ, J. (1984) How to Suppress Women's Writing, London: The Women's Press.
"I saw the Blue Angels fly when I was a young kid," Marine Corps Capt. Katie Higgins said. "I was definitely inspired by that."
Higgins is a third-generation military aviator and the first female pilot in the team's 69-year history.
"My dad was an A-7 pilot initially, and then he transferred to the F-18 Hornet, which is actually out here on the line," Higgins said. "It's a great family legacy to have, that's for sure."
Now, she's providing the inspiration.
"I think by including a lady on the team, that just shows little girls and guys that women can do whatever they put their mind to," Higgins said. "Little girls have told me that they didn't even know that ladies could fly aircraft, that women could be in the cockpit."
They've been in American military cockpits for more than 20 years, but it's taken this long for a woman to become part of the Blue Angels team.
"We do a very thorough interview where they get to know each one of us and find the right person for the team next year, and so it just so happened that they haven't had a female pilot that has fit quite perfectly," Higgins said.
Capt. Tom Frosch is the commander of the Blue Angels and said, "it's not that we weren't ready, we were just looking for the right person."
He was one of 17 officers that voted Higgins onto the team and said they haven't had any challenges integrating a female pilot into the unit.
"Any female can fly any aircraft in our inventory," he said.
For more about Captain Katie Higgins, see the article on the CBS News website:
Homelessness in Los Angeles is a significant and chronic problem. It is so much more challenging for homeless women to find safe shelter for themselves, their children, and away from addicts, violence, and sexual predators. The new Guadalupe Homeless Project Women's Shelter in Boyle Heights is a facility designed for exclusive use of homeless women. The following article by Maya Sugarman of KPCC (89.3 FM) provides an excellent write-up of the shelter itself, and insight into the challenges facing homeless women in East Los Angeles.
For more than six years, Vickie, a 63-year-old homeless artist, did most of her sleeping on Los Angeles' public buses.
"Nobody's going to rape me on a bus," says Vickie, who asked that her last name be withheld to protect her privacy. "It's the safest place for a woman to be. The only problem is you never get to lie down flat."
Fear of rape, violence and theft had kept Vickie off the streets at night. But she says that fear also kept her away from homeless shelters, where she could have gotten a bed.
"Some of them have bad reputations," she notes. "The ones that have outstanding reputations are always full."
What finally coaxed Vickie off of buses was the opening of a women's-only shelter in Boyle Heights, one of a very few in Los Angeles, and the only one to cater to older women like her. The Guadalupe Homeless Project Women's Shelter has 15 beds arranged in a converted classroom that used to house an after-school program. It's run by Proyecto Pastoral, a nonprofit under the auspices of East L.A's Dolores Mission. Most of the women are in their 50s and 60s. The oldest is 80.
Raquel Roman, the shelter's director, says the need for a women's shelter in East L.A. became clear last year, when the body of a 36-year-old homeless woman named Lorenza Arellano was found floating in the lake at Hollenbeck Park. Arellano had often eaten dinner at a men's shelter that Proyecto Pastoral has run in the community for decades, recalls Roman, but because its beds were not open to women, she slept in the park. Police said she died of a drug overdose, though how she ended up in the lake remains a mystery.
"Her tragic death was a shock to all of us," Roman says, "and I was really compelled to say, we need to provide services to women in our community that are in the same situation."
Amy Turk, program director for the Downtown Women's Center, a day center for homeless women, says that other than the new Boyle Heights shelter, she knows of only two other women-only shelters in Los Angeles, totaling roughly 300 beds.
Yet the need for them is great, she adds, because the fear of violence often keeps women away from traditional shelters, much as it did with Vickie. A majority of homeless women recently surveyed by the center reported being victims of sexual abuse or other violence. A vast majority said they preferred women-specific homeless services.
And yet "we hardly ever see any funding geared solely toward unaccompanied women who are experiencing homelessness," Turk says. Women trying to escape abusive partners have more options. So do homeless women with underage children, but they tend to be younger, and overall the population of homeless women is getting older.
As they age, Turk notes, they're getting sicker faster than the housed population, which makes it harder for them to stay on the streets.
Those challenges are evident among the women at the Guadalupe Homeless Project, where each evening they do daily chores before being taken by van to a nearby school cafeteria where they're served dinner.
Carlette Luka, a 59-year-old from Hawaii, has an easy smile and a jovial demeanor, but suffers from high blood pressure and a bad hip. She uses a walker. Before arriving at the shelter, she says she often slept in a graveyard to avoid trouble.
Another 59-year-old, who sings in her church's gospel choir and asked not to be named, treks out on foot every morning to look for work but is slowed down by plantar fasciitis and pre-diabetes. Several women are getting treatment for mental health issues.
The goal of most of these women is to eventually find a job and an apartment, a task made difficult by the reluctance of many employers to hire older women, according to Roman. Some of the women at the shelter face the added complication of being in the U.S. illegally.
But some of the women are starting to get back on their feet. At 53, Eva Gonzalez is among the shelter's younger residents. She once had a business designing and selling dresses for quinceañeras. For reasons she'll only hint at, she lost the business, and then her home. She stayed in hotels and with friends, then finally heard about the shelter and secured a bed there.
For weeks, she struggled to find work.
"They told me I was too old," she recalls. Gonzalez finally found work selling dresses in downtown L.A.'s garment district, adding that she's saving money and plans to get a place of her own.
Unlike some of the women living with her in the shelter, Gonzalez says she still has time to start over.

1. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your living situation.
It doesn't matter what kind of living situation you're in, whether you have housemates, live alone, live unmarried with a partner, or live with your ex still. You don't need to explain to anyone why you live the way that you do.
2. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your life priorities.
Want to open a business? Become a pastor at your church? Sell all your belongings and backpack through India? Go for it! And remember, you don't have to explain your priorities to anyone. They are yours, and you don't have to try to impress people with them.
3. You don't owe anyone an apology if you are not sorry.
If you've done something that someone else doesn't like but that you don't regret, you don't owe them an apology. An apology is to try to rectify a mistake and the impact it's had on others.
4. You don't owe anyone an explanation for requiring alone time.
If you need alone time, you're not being rude, introverted, or unfriendly. You just need time alone. You don't have to explain your need for that. Just enjoy that precious time alone.
5. You don't owe anyone your agreement on their personal beliefs.
When people share their personal beliefs with you, it's often a sign of trust that should be cherished. It's a window into their souls and the way they think. But just because someone has shared their personal beliefs with you doesn't mean you have to nod in agreement. Also, see #3.
6. You don't owe anyone a yes to everything they say.
I know it can be hard to say no to the hard ask, but just know that you don't have to say yes to everything everyone asks of you. Know your limits and what you're willing to do for others.
7. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your physical appearance.
If you've lost weight, gained weight, changed your hair, grown a beard, or done anything with your physical appearance, you don't owe anyone an explanation for it. You're just doing you. They can deal with pink hair.
8. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your food preferences.
We all like different types of food. If someone tries to judge you over it, don't engage. You don't have to explain what kind of food you like to eat. You just eat what you want to.
9. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your sex life.
Whether your sex life doesn't exist or does with another consenting adult, it's no one's business but your own. People will try to judge you for who you sleep with or what your sexuality is, but what they think generally doesn't matter.
10. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your career or personal life choices.
When it comes to the direction you're going in life, you don't owe anyone an explanation for your career or the direction you've opted to go. Just go for it! The people who truly care for you will back you up.
11. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your religious or political views.
Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Catholic, Protestant or Muslim, it's your choice and you don't owe anyone an explanation for it. If someone wants to have a fun, candid discussion with you and you also want that, have at it! A good debate or exchange of ideas is a lot of fun.
12. You don't owe anyone an explanation for being single.
It doesn't matter if you're single by design or by accident – you're single! Chances are, you're pretty happy with it too. You might get pressured to go find a partner and get married, but you march to the beat of your own drum.
13. You don't owe anyone a date just because they asked.
This is such an important thing to remember. You don't have to say yes just because someone asked you to go out with them!
14. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your decision about marriage.
Want to get married at 18? Don't ever want to get married? As long as you're an adult making decisions of your own accord, your decision about marriage is yours alone.
15. You don't owe anyone an explanation for your relationship choices.
Did you forgive a cheater? Did you get back together with your ex? Did you say no to a marriage proposal? These decisions were made by you for your own set of reasons, and you don't owe anyone an explanation for that.
Yes, I stole I.D.I.C. from Star Trek, but it most certainly seems to apply with regards to the greatest and most unfathomable human emotion: love.

I've been on suboxone (16mg) for 7 days. I missed my 11:30am dosage this passed Friday as I was going to see my psychiatrist and tell him I wanted off ~ he strongly disagreed for now!

No,I do this all the time. as long as you dont go over the perscribed dose in 24 hours you will be fine. but the next time you miss your dose for that long and you can wait till the next dose,then do that. but for now just go back to your normal dossing times. do you dose 1 or 2 times a day? hope this helps you out... subzero58... pete
Thanks Pete, I dose once a day taking two 8mg films a day at the same time
Ok, then just go back to your reg dose time. In R/B instruction manual they say just not to doubble up on your dose ever,that's good advise.I split my dose 8am and 4pm just works better for me that way. but I take it for pain management. in the beginning my doc wanted me to take it all at once but i'm kinda of a light weight. but it is importent to get into a routine with your meds. I set an alarm on my cell phone to remind me and still hafta set 3 snooze times with each alarm. dont beat yourself up your just starting on sub. sounds like your have a good doctor,just keep good communications open with him or her. And find a counslor you feel comfortable with and stick with it. It has helpped me in excepting I may have to be on sub for longer then I first thought. hit me up anytime,pete
i agree, you dont have to take this med at exactly the same time everyday. as long as you take the dosage your prescribed in a 24 hr period youll b ok. ive been on suboxone for 5 years, and have forgetten many times. these meds stay in your system a long time. ive actually went 2 days trying not to take them and didnt feel any discomfort until the 3rd day when i realized i cannot stop cold turkey. as soon as i took my dose, i was back to normal again.

DETROIT – The last thing any of the Detroit Red Wings wanted to do Thursday night was take a penalty that could have cost them in yet another virtual must-win game as they try to make the NHL playoffs.
So imagine how rookie forward Gustav Nyquist felt in the first two periods against the Nashville Predators.
After not being assessed a single penalty in his first 20 NHL games this season, Nyquist was hit with three – that's right, three – in the first 32 minutes against Nashville. The rest of the team took two.
"It's just bad by me," said Nyquist, a third-line forward. "This is probably the worst game to be taking penalties. It's an important game. You have to try to shake it off. But obviously that's not what you want to be doing."
Not at all.
Yet things worked out well for both Nyquist and the Red Wings in a 5-2 victory that moved them within a point of clinching a playoff berth for the 22nd straight season.
None of Nyquist's penalties led to a power-play goal and he ended up drawing a big penalty himself when Nick Spaling slashed Nyquist with 1:03 left in the second period.
The Red Wings cashed in less than 17 seconds later, when Pavel Datsyuk scored in the final minute on the power play to make it 4-2 heading to the third.
"That's what I'm trying to do out there very shift," Nyquist said. "I guess that felt a little better but I still shouldn't be taking three penalties in a game."
Maybe not but the Red Wings don't have many other complaints with Nyquist or the rest of their first-year players these days.
The third line of Nyquist, Damien Brunner and Joakim Andersson has been playing well along with the fourth line, which produced a goal for the second straight night when veteran Patrick Eaves gave Detroit a 3-2 lead early in the second period.
"It's huge for us," said veteran forward Justin Abdelkader. "Those guys have been all doing a great job up and down throughout our lineup. We've had great depth and a lot of young guys have been thrust into some bigger roles, maybe roles at the start of the season I didn't think they'd be in.
"It's been important for us all year, especially down the stretch here and as we go forward."
Like fellow rookies Joakim Andersson and Brian Lashoff, Nyquist began the season in Grand Rapids before getting the call to join the Red Wings.
He's was leading the AHL in scoring with 23 goals and 60 points for the Grand Rapids Griffins March 20, when he was recalled for the fourth and final time this season.
The Red Wings envision Nyquist as an eventual top-six forward but at age 23 with only 39 games under his belt, there are going to be games like the one vs. Nashville when not everything goes according to the script.
But Nyquist isn't alone in there.
"I didn't think our young guys that have been so good for us were as good tonight," coach Mike Babcock said. "Back-to-back, that happens to you sometimes. Mentally, you're just not as engaged. I thought that showed but good effort by our team."
The Nashville game was Detroit's second in 24 hours.
Wednesday night, the Red Wings beat defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles 3-1 and Nyquist admitted the grind created by the lockout might have had something to do with his three penalties.
"Maybe," he said. "It's been a lot of travel all year and it's coming down to the wire. Maybe it was that but we have to find a way to be a little better.
'We've got a big game already Saturday down in Dallas. We'll travel tomorrow, regroup and come out sharp the next game."
In 21 NHL games this season, Nyquist has three goals and three assists. Babcock likes the way he's fit in with Brunner, who has 12 goals among 26 points, and Andersson, who has scored three times to go with five assists in 37 games.
"They've played well," Babcock said. "Andy's a very intelligent player, plays well defensively. Gus makes plays and Brunner shoots the puck. They've been good for us. Brunner has speed and they put a lot of pressure on the other team.
"That was a spot we got dominated in most of the year, the three hole, and we're way better off now because we're at least even and maybe ahead in that spot."
Now, the Red Wings head to Dallas looking to finish the regular season Saturday with a four-game winning streak to keep the longest playoff streak in North American pro spots alive.
"The first step is to get into the playoffs," Nyquist said. "But if we get in, we feel we have a great team in here. (Goaltender Jimmy Howard) is playing unbelievable. The veterans are carrying us right now. That's what we need.
"So we like our team and hopefully we'll get into the playoffs. We have unbelievable leadership. That's something you definitely want in the playoffs."

LANSING, MI — Gov. Rick Snyder offered a preview of two topics he plans to discuss during his State of the State address on Wednesday: developing a talented workforce and protecting the Great Lakes.
The two issues have risen toward the top of Snyder's priority list, he said while speaking at the Michigan Agri-Business Association's conference and trade show in Lansing on Monday.
The Republican governor told attendees he wants to re-establish the water use advisory council to better safeguard the Great Lakes.
"I think we're going to see more challenges with variations of climate. I'm not getting into why it happens, but I think we're going to see a more challenging climate over the next decade or two, potentially with drought challenges and everything else," he said. "We have an asset that most places don't have. We can't abuse that asset, we can't waste that asset. We need to be smart about using it."
Snyder also wants to focus on talent.
"I don't think most Michiganders understand how technically sophisticated you need to be to be in your industry," he said.
The key is figuring out what skills are necessary to fill in-demand jobs, and then working with educators and training programs to develop the talent, he said.
John Desgrange recognizes the need to recruit young people to the agriculture field.
"The biggest thing is getting kids into ag now. There's not very many ag families out there with kids coming through school that want to stick with it," said Desgrange, who sprays pesticides for the Eaton Farm Bureau Co-op.
Snyder discussed three other goals he has for Michigan's agriculture industry:
1. Increase exports of agricultural products, including value-added items.
2. Ensure that value-added food and commodity processing occurs in Michigan-based facilities.
3. Continue to invest in agricultural research and development, and improve partnerships with universities, especially Michigan State University.
The Michigan Agri-Business Association's 80th annual winter conference and trade show runs through Wednesday at the Lansing Center.

MATTAWAN — A top-three finish at this year's Division 2 bowling state championship would seem like the natural progression for Mattawan's Justin Houser.
The senior lost in the round of 16 last season, but his motivation comes from more than last season's shortcoming.
Houser has been bowling for as long as he can remember and he's always had family members involved, including his dad, Ken, who has been like a personal coach, and his brother Tyler, who finished third in the state just a few years ago and sometimes reminds Justin of that point.
"Sometimes, at practice, he'll tell me he's better than me," Justin Houser said. "There's a little teasing, but it's not too bad."
Houser appreciates his brother's occasional tips as well as the instruction he gets from his dad.
"My dad talks to me a lot," said Houser, who has a 205 average this season. "He's the No. 1 person involved. He's the one who taught me most of what I know.
"It's fun working with him. I've been bowling my whole life, so I know what I'm doing wrong most of the time, but he'll come up to me and say something and I'll throw a strike the next throw. It's a big comfort. It can't be too much of a comfort though, because you're the one that has to throw on that last strike, but it is nice when you don't know what you're doing wrong and he has advice for you."
Fixing mistakes is something Houser is determined to do as he attempts to get back to the state finals.
"I've been working on making spares," he said. "Last year, when I went head-to-head, I missed some pins and I lost. Instead of bowling with a full 10 pins in practice, I'll shoot at the 10 pin or the 7 pin to see how the ball slides."
Mattawan coach Jim Sprau believes Houser can repeat his success.
"I think he's going to do well no matter what," Sprau said. "He's got a lot of power. He throws a ball a lot of kids can't. His dad taught him well."
Houser will also be leading a team of nine Wildcats a season after the squad finished third in the Southwest Michigan High School Bowling Conference Red Division and advanced to the state finals for the first time ever, where it finished 18th in qualifying at states.
"He started off on a strong team as a freshman with his brother Tyler playing," Sprau explained. "Justin has been good this year about keeping the team together this year with the experience he has. He's trying to keep a positive attitude on the team."
While the Wildcats have six seniors, Sprau said there isn't much experience within the group.
"A lot of them are first-year bowlers," he said of the seniors. "We lost two starters from last year and we're looking for a couple freshmen to step up."
Mattawan will look to A.J. Brewer and Will Barnes to step in this season and be contributors.
"I'm looking for the freshmen to get some experience this year so they can replace Justin next year," Sprau said. "They're going to have to step up. We do need more bowlers. We need to get the word out."
Houser admitted leadership isn't easy.
"It's hard," he said. "I try to do my best. I talk to them and let them know it's not just about them bowling, it's about the team. I'll go up to them and talk to them or watch them bowl. I think it helps a lot with nerves, especially when a kid needs to move over after a first shot. A lot of these kids need to be told that and good bowlers know that and can tell them that.
"Kids like A.J. want to improve and want to be the anchor and he comes and asks for help. I like that."
Houser does believe in the team this year.
"I think the team can go to state," he said. "I think we can definitely make top three in the division."

Real Madrid''s results don''t determine my future: Mourinho
Submitted by Rajiv Dhoot on Sun, 02/06/2011 - 05:32
Madrid (Spain), Feb. 6 : Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has said that his future at the club doesn''t depend on his leading the side to good results, but on other factors.
Speaking in his weekly pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday''s league game against Real Sociedad, the Xinhua news agency quoted Mourinho as saying: "My future has nothing to do with sporting results, with us being in the cup final or winning or losing the Champions League or the league."
He added: "Those are decisions that have to be taken by the club, my decision has to do with being happy and that the club is as well. At the moment you can say that I am happy, but that has nothing to do with results."
He further said: "I am not in the perfect club, but the perfect club doesn''t exist and I am not the perfect coach, because he doesn''t exist either."
"We are improving the structure of the club and we are going in a direction that I like, if the results arrive then even better and we will all be happier, but my decisions have a lot to do with my capacity to do my job in the best way possible," he added. (ANI)

The Birmingham City Council today approved two measures moving forward a project to build a pedestrian footbridge over railroad tracks in the Collegeville neighborhood.
The council voted to accept an agreement between the city and the state on the $4 million project and a resolution requesting the appointment of Jim North and Associates for $125,000 in lawyers' fees for the project.
Mayor William Bell restated his support for the project but said the city does not have all the money needed to complete it. The city's total commitment to the project is more than $1 million, of which $259,000 is allocated in the capital budget.
"This is going to take a process over a period of time," Bell said. "We are committed to it, but we are going to do it in an orderly fashion. But we'll get there."
The city will pay $250,000 for planning and engineering that takes about a year and half to complete. With federal and state money secured, Councilwoman Maxine Parker, whose district includes Collegeville, said the city is close to beginning a project to remove barriers created by trains fencing in the Collegeville neighborhood. The pedestrian overpass is planned near Hudson Elementary School.
"This is the beginning of the project," Parker said later. "There is a light at the end of the tunnel, hope is always there, and we see the beginning of a new day regarding the tracks in Collegeville."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kenny Rogers frustrated the Kansas City Royals for six innings Tuesday night, and then reliever Fernando Rodney dominated them.
Rogers got the 7-1 win for the Detroit Tigers, but didn't return after the two-hour, 20-minute rain delay that came while he was warming up in the seventh inning.
Rodney warmed up just before midnight as a small band of enthusiastic fans left from the crowd 22,074 chanted, "Let's go Royals!"
He took the wind out of their sails pretty quickly after allowing a leadoff single to Esteban German. Rodney struck out four and didn't allow another runner to reach base, while reaching 97 mph on the radar gun.
Rodney, looking better with every start since a rocky return from the disabled list five weeks ago, was all smiles walking off the mound. So much for his usual poker face. He slapped high-fives with nearly every teammate and coach in the dugout.
Tuesday's game: Detroit beat Kansas City, 7-1, behind the superb pitching of Kenny Rogers and Fernando Rodney. It has outscored the Royals, 26-5, in the first two games of this series.
Record: 51-49
Renteria much better: Shortstop Edgar Renteria broke an 0-for-12 slump with a pair of singles and also lined out to left. He charged a ball to make a nice play, and moved much better. An injured hamstring had been hampering him.
Next game: 2:10 p.m. Wednesday vs. Kansas City (Armando Galarraga vs. Zack Greinke), FSN.
"He was tremendous, outstanding," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "His last two outings have been absolutely lights out."
Rodney had seven strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings of one-hit shutout pitching in those two games, the first coming Saturday at Baltimore.
"People have a tendency to forget how good he really was in 2006," Leyland said. "He was our closer when Todd Jones was out (and had nine saves)."
Joel Zumaya got the first two Royals he faced in the ninth, striking out cleanup hitter Jose Guillen. But Esteban German then hit a triple that landed on the muddy warning track at the base of the wall, which it splattered like a paint ball shot.
He got John Buck to ground out for the final out.
"When (Zumaya) and Rodney are healthy and throwing like they can, they take you up two notches," Leyland said. "They were a huge part of us going to the World Series (in 2006)."
Second baseman Placido Polanco had a solo homer, his fourth of the season, and drove in a pair of runs along with third baseman Carlos Guillen.
Magglio Ordonez had three hits, and Gary Sheffield's sacrifice fly in the fifth was his 1,600th RBI, moving him ahead of Hall of Famer Nap Lajoie into 29th place.
Rogers (8-6) allowed one hit in six innings to Royals not named Mark Grudzielanek.
Grudzialanek went 3-for-3, driving in Kansas City's only run in the first inning with a single after rookie shortstop Mike Aviles doubled.
Grudzialanek is 15-for-23 (.652) against Rogers in his career.
"I was really good except for Mark," Rogers said. "I tried all kinds of pitches ... I'm going to throw him knuckleballs next time, and I don't even have one. He's hitting everything else. He's going to be begging for me to keep pitching."
Rogers, 43, was asked if he's made any decisions about 2009, when he will be a free agent.
"Things will work themselves out," he said. "My wife says I've lied to her too many times about what I'm going to do. But she's already said, 'You are pitching again.' "
He shook his head and smiled. Why leave when you're going this good?
Rogers snapped a personal five-game losing streak to the Royals, and broke his tie for 19th on the all-time win list for left-handers with Tigers 1968 World Series hero Mickey Lolich. He's now tied for 18th with Earl Whitehill with 218 wins.
Rogers said he hoped to go back out and pitch, but gave up on that once the delay took over one hour. Leyland didn't give him any choice on that, he said.
"I was hoping for a rain out to get a complete game," said Rogers, smiling and saying that also would've saved the bullpen from use.
The game ended about 12 hours and 30 minutes before today's first pitch.
"Not too many big league games get called any more," Leyland said. "It's tough (to play again so quickly), but it's what we do for a living."

Central's golf season ends
WEST LAFAYETTE – The golf season came to a close for Steubenville Catholic Central on Wednesday at the Division III regionals at River Greens Golf Course.
The Crusaders shot 338, falling short of qualifying for the state tournament by four strokes.
Central was led by Austin Meronoff with a 76, who fell short by one stroke for qualifying as an individual; Josh Merriman with 86; Mike Manfresca 88; Nick Ivkovich 88 and Jason Bensur with 95.
"We played our practice round on Sunday and scored 327, and I told the kids that I didn't think that was good enough to qualify, turns out it was, so I think we went in to the district pressing to shoot lower," said Central coach Rocky Augustine.
"We will graduate three seniors, Mike Manfresca, Josh Merriman and Jason Bensur all outstanding individuals and students and I will miss all of them. Our program is getting bigger and we have some good young kids who can step in next year, so our goals will remain the same.
"We will take some time off then get back to work this winter to prepare for next fall."
The Crusaders finished the season 65-21.

NEWARK — High schoolers from across New Jersey and neighboring states gridlocked the lobbies of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center today as they left one session of the 2012 Dodge Poetry Festival and crashed into those waiting for the next one to begin.
Four juniors from Spotswood High School, part of a group of 11 from their school, had just heard "From Homer to Hip Hop: Poetry and the Oral Tradition" with poets Rachel McKibbens, Patricia Smith and Taylor Mali.
"I was about to cry at one point," Rebecca Carroll said about McKibbens. "The way she reads is really different."
The students were also glad they saw Mali, who has written two books and recorded four CDs of spoken word poetry.
"He was really awesome," Julia Williams said. "He was a teacher so he knew what kinds of things we think and talk about."
"It's cool to hear the voices of the poets," Casey Sullivan said. "It's very inspirational."
Abigail Schnoor, 17, is one of a group of 30 from Guilderland High School in New York who spent three hours on a bus from the suburb of Albany. She was rolled by the live performances, she said as she waited in the festival store to buy a souvenir mug.
"It makes me want to read more," she said.
Festival organizers said almost 5,000 students registered to attend today's High School Student Day.
The Dodge Foundation has partnered with Guidebook to create a festival app for mobile devices. It has daily schedules, alphabetical list of poets and list of venues, and allows users to build their own schedules and track their favorite poets. Download from dodgepoetry.org.

Party planned on the prairie
"An old-fashioned barn party is shaping up on Ebey's Prairie.The Trust Board of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve and the Nature Conservancy of Washington are hosting a party at the Smith Farm on Ebey's Prairie from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 6.The event, which is free and open to the public, is being held to celebrate the protection - via donation and purchase by the Nature Conservancy - of more than 500 acres of bluff and forest land that once belonged to Robert Pratt.Honoring Pratt's stewardship and protection of the land is the other purpose of the party. A dedication ceremony honoring Pratt and other supporters will be held from 1:30 to 2 p.m. Pratt, who was 84 when he died, grew up on, then inherited, more than 650 acres in the heart of the reserve. The land - including fields, forests, beaches, historic buildings, part of Parego's Lake and the Bluff Trail - is arguably the most desirable area on the reserve. The bluff trail alone attracts thousands of hikers each year with its winding, climbing trail overlooking Admiralty Inlet and the Olympic Mountains to the west.Throughout his life, Pratt rejected offers to sell or develop his land. But his death raised concerns among the reserve's supporters as to who would inherit the land and what would they do with it.Some of those fears were allayed when terms of Pratt's will surfaced, stipulating that four parcels, totalling about 127 acres, be acquired by a non-profit agency, such as the Nature Conservancy, for example, as my Executor may deem most appropriate. ...Pratt's executor, the Seattle law firm Oles, Rinker and Baker, deemed The Nature Conservancy was the most appropriate agency. The firm also negotiated the sale of the bulk of Pratt's estate - another 407 acres willed to an East Coast woman and slated to go on sale on the open market - to the Conservancy for $5 million. The event is a chance for us to say thank you. Thank you to Robert Pratt, who had the foresight to protect this land, to the Whidbey community and to our many donors, said Curt Soper, director of the Conservancy's conservation programs.I've been waiting for this day for two decades, said reserve manager Rob Harbour. This is truly a moment in history worth celebrating.Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve was created by Congress in 1978 and is comprised of 17,000-acres of farmland, beach and forest in the heart of Central Whidbey. Much of it is privately owned. With the recent purchase, Harbour said, more than 2,140 acres on the reserve will be protected from development.The donation and sale of Pratt's land to the Nature Conservancy represents the largest single acquisition for protection since the reserve's creation. ----------------Prairie partyWhat: Party on the Prairie includes refreshments, bluff and beach walks, live music, an an Ebey's art show and wagon rides. Party-goers are also invited to bring picnic lunches.Where: Smith Farm on Ebey's Prairie, 339 S. Ebey Road from When: From 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 6.Also, the Nature Conservancy of Washington and the Trust Board of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve are inviting artists who have painted or photographed Ebey's Landing to display their work at the Aug.6 celebration.The non-juried exhibit is open to all artists and photographers interested in participating. Artists will be responsible for bringing their work to the event and picking it up afterward.For information, or to participate, call the Coupeville Arts Center: 678-3396."

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. I'm getting an error message, but I'm fairly confidant that the error is due to the current capabilities of OpenMx, and not to user error.
Given some mxMatrix P and the definition variables foo and bar, the following works:
mxAlgebra(P[data.foo, ], name='Work')
But the following breaks:
mxAlgebra(P[data.foo, data.bar], name='Break')
Here are some simplified test cases:
# Works
xdat <- data.frame(foo=rep(1, 10), bar=rep(2, 10))
wmod <- mxModel(
name = 'WorkingModel',
mxData(observed=xdat, type='raw'),
mxMatrix(nrow=10, ncol=2,
values=c(rep(0.5, 10), rep(0.3, 10)),
mxAlgebra(P[data.foo, 2], name='Fred'),
mxAlgebra(sum(G), name='R')
# Breaks
xdat <- data.frame(foo=rep(1, 10), bar=rep(2, 10))
bmod <- mxModel(
name = 'BreakingModel',
mxData(observed=xdat, type='raw'),
mxMatrix(nrow=10, ncol=2,
values=c(rep(0.5, 10), rep(0.3, 10)),
mxAlgebra(P[data.foo, data.bar], name='Fred'),
mxAlgebra(sum(G), name='R')
#Running BreakingModel
#Error in mxRun(bmod) :
# Attempted to set improper value (1, 1) from (10, 0) matrix.
# End Test cases
The only difference is using data.bar instead of the number 2. It appears that definition variables work with square bracket, but you can only use one definition variable with them.
I know in the current case this is a silly thing to be doing with models, but later I want to optimize the values of the P matrix based on some definition variables. A non-optimizing case needs to works before I can be concerned with optimization.
Oops. It was a bug in my code. Thanks to Tim for finding it. It's been fixed in the repository: http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/dev/changeset/1194.
It looks like this is a strange interaction with the mxRowObjective, rather than a problem with the square bracket operator. Similar cases seem to work in FIMLObjective functions.
There's a reason that Row Objective isn't in the documented function set yet--it's still fragile and untested.
I'll take a look at it when I can and get back to you about the fix.
I think this may have something to do with the dimensions of the data frame and the dimensions of the matrix into which data.foo and data.bar are being placed. Also, I am accustomed to seeing data.foo's and the like used as labels for matrix elements in an mxMatrix command, rather than bits of algebra in mxAlgebra commands. Note that the definition variable approach is designed to operate in a row-by-row fashion. That is, the definition variables corresponding to the *row* of data being analyzed are to be placed in specific matrix elements. In order to get rows of data from the dataframe into the matrix P, I would make P 1 by 2.
Nevertheless, I am also a bit stuck. First, the "Works" part of your script does not work for me (possibly I am using a later version of OpenMx). Second, when I try to fix it thusly:
> #-----------------------------
> # Works
> xdat <- data.frame(foo=rep(1, 10), bar=rep(2, 10))
> wmod <- mxModel(
+ name = 'WorkingModel',
+ mxData(observed=xdat, type='raw'),
+ mxMatrix(nrow=1, ncol=2,
+ values=c(.5,.3),labels=list('data.foo','data.bar'),
+ name='P'),
+ mxAlgebra("P",name="Fred"),
+ mxRowObjective(rowAlgebra='Fred',
+ rowResults='G',
+ reduceAlgebra='R'),
+ mxAlgebra(sum(G), name='R')
+ )
Error: 'labels' argument to mxMatrix must be a scalar, a vector, or a matrix.
> mxRun(wmod)@objective@result
Running WorkingModel
Error in mxRun(wmod) :
VECTOR_ELT() can only be applied to a 'list', not a 'character'
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In mxRun(wmod) : NAs introduced by coercion
2: In mxRun(wmod) :
Internal Error: Algebra has been passed incorrectly: detected NoOp: (Operator Arg ...)
I end up with some errors that I am having difficulty parsing into my brain. Probably I have not understood mxRowObjective(). Like you, I await feedback from the coding team...
Sorry, the 'WorkingModel' only works with revision 1189. The mxRowObjective does not work with the latest binary release.
For your script, changing labels=list('data.foo', 'data.bar') to labels=c('data.foo', 'data.bar') should make it come up with a different error. The error says that labels should be a vector, c(...), and you set it as a list, list(...).
Also, I'm not trying to populate the P matrix. I'm trying to *select* the data.foo row and the data.bar column of the matrix P. Then I'd like to put this element of the P matrix into the algebra 'Fred'.
This is an odd thing to do, but since data.foo is all 1's and data.bar is all 2's the objective should come out the same as using mxAlgebra(P[1, 2], name='Fred'), which works.
I see... have svn'd up to 1191 and your error is reproducible, and I agree that it looks like a bug, since data.bar ought to have populated Fred with a 2.
Michael S, any ideas?

Pesto Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Roasted Asparagus
A quick and easy dish for those busy weeknights, and it's chockfull of veggies!
Pesto is seriously one of my favorite things ever. It is so easy to make, it's incredibly versatile, and it pretty much tastes amazing in and on anything and everything.
Like for this pasta dish here, I tossed the pesto in some simple ingredients like sun dried tomatoes, roasted asparagus and mozzarella cubes, finishing it off with a fried egg, and it was seriously one of the best weeknight meals ever! It's so simple and easy to whip up, and my most favorite thing about it is that some of the pesto gets stuck in the crevices of the shell pasta. AH-MAZING, right? Plus, this tastes just as good, if not better, as work leftovers since the mozzarella cubes gets all melted/ooey-gooey in between the pasta. Mmmmmm.
So here's how you make this:
Boil up some salted water and cook the pasta according to package instructions.
While that's happening, let's roast some fresh asparagus in olive oil, salt and pepper in a 450 degree F oven for about 10 minutes or so. Let it cool a bit before you cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Then we'll take some homemade pesto and julienned sun dried tomatoes…
and toss it with the pasta with some fresh mozzarella cubes.
Top with a fried egg…
and let the yolk just oooooze out before you dive in.
Pesto Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Roasted Asparagus
A quick and easy dish for those busy weeknights, and it's chockfull of veggies!
- 8 ounces medium shell pasta
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup basil pesto
- 1/3 cup julienned sun dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained
- 1/3 cup diced mozzarella cubes
- Fried egg, for serving
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
- Place asparagus in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, to taste; gently toss to combine. Place into oven and roast for 8-12 minutes, or until tender but crisp. Let cool before cutting into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine pasta, asparagus, pesto, sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella.
- Serve immediately with a fried egg, if desired.
Why It's A Smart Choice
One of the main components of pesto is pine nuts. These nuts are a good source of magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, and phosphorous. Nuts are like nature's multi-mineral!

What a great company - a special $2.00 per share dividend for Christmas. Thank you DKS management. And a special thank you to our Congress for its lack of clarity, common sense and fiscal responsibility in making these special dividends possible.
I'm glad Ed and the boys can cash in - but as an employee - a full time employee - a few more hours - especially when I average 32.5 - would be increased just a little bit!
