Aside from not having the fennel this was a quick and easy meal to prepare. I served this over whole wheat bow tie pasta and didn't bother with the mozzarella sprinkled on top.

I thought 8 servings would be too much so I cut the recipe in half. I thought it was delicious. The flavor was excellent and it was very easy to make. I wouldn't change a thing. My kids ate it, however, they picked out the green pepper, tomatoes, and mushrooms.

Made half of the recipe for two of us; then made the full reciped for a Senior dinner and came home with very little. Super taste; the pepperoni and the red pepper flakes give it a spicey taste. I like what others have said they put in it. I'm sure it would only enhance it. Love it and plan on passing this recipe around.
Mar 1, 2011
I made it; we ate it ... and ate it. Even my co-workers loved the leftovers. I added some Italian sausage, black olives and artichoke hearts to my sauce and used penne pasta (since that's what I had on hand). My Italian husband said it's a winner.
Feb 26, 2011
My whole family loved this!! I added a bit of browned hamburger to make it a bit meatier for my guys.
Feb 25, 2011
I printed the recipe out to make this weekend. This is very similar to my fave dish at our local restaurant - although they also put crumbled It. sausage and olives in it & use penne pasta - they call it Penne Rustica & charge $14.95
Feb 23, 2011
how about nutritional values?
Feb 21, 2011
This is fabulous - def make again and perfect just the way it is!
Feb 21, 2011
I made this ewcipe today and it was wonderful. You can change the recipe any way you like, that doesn't mean there is something wrong with it. I omited the mushrooms because I have an alergy to them. My husband also loved it..Can't wait to share it with my friends.

"Our strategy has shifted" may be the most unfortunate phrase ever uttered by a Microsoft exec. Bob Muglia, President of the Server and Tools Division, said it in his interview with Mary Jo Foley. Pundits and Silverlight detractors have been partying on it for more than a week.
It should just be good theater. Unfortunately, it has spooked the herd. More than a few of our customers and prospects are wondering if Silverlight is "dead".
Some Silverlight defenders counter by reminding us that HTML 5 is not ready and runs on less than 1% of installed browsers.
But the merits and demerits of HTML 5 are beside the point. If you're considering building in Silverlight, you have to know that Silverlight itself has a future. You don't care about Silverlight 5. You want to know there will be a Silverlight 10. You want to believe that Microsoft sees Silverlight as a strategic, mainstream web development platform.
I believe Microsoft sees Silverlight as a strategic, mainstream web development platform … for many years to come.
Don't take it on my authority; I don't have any authority. Believe Bob Muglia when he sets the record straight. If I may paraphrase, Bob said Microsoft is investing heavily in HTML 5 because that is the standards-based technology with the potential for the broadest possible reach. Investment in HTML 5 does not mean abandoning Silverlight. It's not a retreat from Silverlight. Far from it. Silverlight thrives … on the web, on the desktop, and on the phone.
Bob simply acknowledged that Microsoft will vigorously pursue multiple web technologies to meet diverse market needs.
Where is IdeaBlade going?
It's IdeaBlade's mission to help business application developers reach their users wherever they are, using whatever technology they want to use. Our DevForce product drives Console applications, "headless" services, Windows Forms, WPF, Silverlight, and HTML applications written with Web Forms and MVC. Next month we'll release our support for an OData API that enables any client … including any phone … to access your DevForce business model. When there is a way to write applications in HTML 5, we'll be there too.
We are always balancing our portfolio of client technologies. But to be clear, we believe Silverlight is now – and will remain for the foreseeable future – the best way to build and deliver business applications to the web. Bob Muglia said it too: "Silverlight provides the richest way to build Web-delivered client apps", especially "enterprise application[s] … both inside and outside the browser."
No HTML technology today can match Silverlight in capability or productivity for the web application developer. A comparable HTML 5 platform by all accounts is years away.
What's all the Fuss?
The story at last year's PDC was "three screens and a cloud" glued together by Silverlight. Barely a year later they're ballyhooing HTML 5 as the glue. A third of the keynote goes to IE 9 and HTML 5; Silverlight is hardly mentioned. Then Bob says "strategic shift" and the stuff hits the fan.
What we have here is a failure to communicate. Microsoft evangelizes the shiny new balls but seems less adept at the sustained marketing necessary to keep existing brands burning bright – xBox excepted. The Silverlight team is going great guns on Silverlight vNext development back in Redmond but you would not know that at PDC and there is still no public target for a putative Silverlight 5 release. Other consumer-facing corporations invest in their brands, especially successful brands. Even soap is regularly "new and improved." Microsoft can't count on product development to keep the brand alive. They should be as relentless on the marketing front.
They tried mightily to recover the Silverlight momentum. Muglia apologized (yes – he said "apologize") for his part in launching the controversy. Read his post carefully; he was adamant that Silverlight is a strategic technology with a long future. When you're done reading Bob, read Scott Guthrie's post which reiterates and elaborates on Bob's themes; Scott is Vice President of the Developer Division and he ought to know.
Of course they also have to promote HTML 5 in a big way and Silverlight must pay a price for its previously exaggerated ambitions. The truth is that Silverlight will have less reach than we once hoped. It will still be cross-platform – running in many browsers and on both Mac and Windows. But the grand vision of Silverlight on every device on the planet cannot be realized. That was always a tall order and, over the last year, it became obviously unachievable. Apple blocked them successfully on iPhone and iPad … and will continue to do so as long as their market share permits.
Microsoft must have a future on these devices; they are too important to ignore. And Microsoft also must provide an alternative to Silverlight in other venues where Silverlight is shut out. We all know that some customers prohibit browser plug-ins … which precludes both Silverlight and Flash.
Silverlight was never the only game in town. You've heard about MVC, yes? MVC is an HTML technology and will likely be the backbone of HTML 5 development. Scott Guthrie is as avid a promoter and staunch ally of MVC as he has been of Silverlight. His blog posts for the last few years give each technology equal love.
MVC did not diminish Scott's enthusiasm for Silverlight … and neither does the prospect of HTML 5.
Silverlight is not just the Phone
Reading some of the press, you might fear that Silverlight had been relegated to a phone development platform. They talked a ton about "Silverlight + Phone" at PDC. Silverlight is indeed the preferred platform for the Windows Phone 7; other than XNA it is the only development platform for WP7. I suspect Muglia was so phone-conscious that, in the interview moment, he just didn't think of what else we use Silverlight for … hence his unfortunate "other sweet spots" comment.
Give him a break. WP7 is the hot new thing. According to Steve Ballmer, it's Microsoft's next billion dollar product. It's a big deal and a key theme at PDC. Talking up Silverlight on the phone is called "staying on message".
But Silverlight is also the premier client technology in many other spaces. For example, it's the best way to build applications on top of SharePoint and that process got a lot easier with SharePoint 2010. We saw Silverlight front-ends on Azure. We are seeing Silverlight front-ends on Bing.
From our perspective, the most important fact: Silverlight remains the recommended client platform for distributed business applications, both inside and outside the browser. Bob Muglia said it. Scott Guthrie reiterated it.
The FUD Factor
Do you think it is curious that some in the technical press and the Silverlight detractors so eagerly cling to Muglia's one inapt phrase? Why do they misrepresent and dismiss his clarification? Do these people really know something? Do they have secret inside Microsoft skinny? Do they mention unnamed sources? A "deep throat" of some kind?
No. All they do is read the same tea leaves everyone else is stirring: Muglia's interview, the IE9 PDC publicity parade, the lack of a big Silverlight announcement … and throw in their own wishful thinking (egregious example here).
I have no inside scoop either. I'm reading what you're reading.
I do have real-world experience developing with Silverlight (question: can you name a "Silverlight is Dead" article by anyone who has written a Silverlight application?)
I have my Microsoft contacts and I spoke to as many of them as I could reach. Every one of them … without exception and without equivocation … believes passionately that Microsoft is committed to Silverlight. They are dead certain that the Silverlight franchise is growing. They believe that HTML 5 is a big bet too … but that it does not dim Silverlight's star. And no one expected a "strategic shift" announcement.
I worked at GE for twelve years. I know what a "strategic shift" looks like. We would never learn of a "strategic shift" by reading a Friday afternoon interview in a trade rag. GE doesn't work that way. GE would prepare us for a bombshell like that. The board would know. The senior executives would know. The press kit would be prepared. Company meetings would be scheduled at every level.
Microsoft is no GE … but it isn't stupid either. There was no preparation. Muglia's remarks were a bolt from the blue – as he said himself. There wasn't supposed to be an announcement. All we have here is an interview by an executive trying to stay on message: Azure, WP7, IE9+HTML5.
If you've ever worked for a business or run a business, you know how this happens: a casual remark to a journalist gets wildly misunderstood and misrepresented. You don't make a critical decision on this basis. You exercise prudent judgment and listen when company executives correct the record.
Well … what of HTML 5?
Now I must speak for myself, not IdeaBlade.
HTML is the way to get the broadest possible reach. HTML 4 is perceived to lack the pizzazz for the new breed of rich internet applications so everyone is pinning hopes on HTML 5. There are some problems with that:
1. Near zero reach for the next few years. A tiny fraction of browsers installed today support HTML 5. It takes a long time to replace the installed base of browsers (proof: even Microsoft can't seem to kill off IE6). Plug-ins (like Silverlight and Flash) have been adopted much more readily than new browsers.
2. HTML 5 is not a standard yet. The WC3 doesn't think it's ready; see here and here. The browser wars of the 1990s are coming back and it's going to be hell for the developers trying to write applications that actually work on all the browsers on all the devices. One wag described HTML 5 as "Write once, test everywhere!"
3. The developer story is missing. Applications don't build themselves. You need libraries and tools to design, develop, debug, and test. None of this infrastructure exists for HTML 5. You need experience and best practices to build an application properly. No one has experience building HTML 5 applications. The essential foundation of human and physical capital is years away.
4. HTML 5 sets the lowest common denominator for user experience. The Silverlight team wrote convincingly about this in a recent post. The comparatively low HTML standard and limited capabilities may be good enough for some applications; will it be good enough for yours? Or will it prevent your RIA developers from delivering the rich experience and features that your application requires and that your market demands?
Ask yourself why your application is not on the web today? If HTML 4 were a viable option, why aren't you there now? Is it because you can't affordably deliver the rich responsive experience of your existing application? What is it about HTML 5 that will change that picture? What in HTML 5 will make your application better than it would be in HTML 4?
Silverlight remains more productive, more testable, more maintainable than any HTML-targeted approach. I can think of other excellent reasons to build an HTML application. But if the balance of considerations favored Silverlight last week, I can't imagine why the distant prospect of HTML 5 should change the equation today … as long as you believe Silverlight is going to continue to grow and improve … as I clearly do.

Despite the presence of numerous current-gen titles running rampant on the Xbox Live "most played" lists every week, Halo 2 still remains at the top of the pack. The original Xbox smash hit has managed to stay in contention for three years and one console generation, and it shows no signs of stopping—well, until Halo 3 comes out. While hungry fans await the third and final installment of the series, though, they're going to have some brand new content for Halo 2 to chew through.
As a thank you to fans and in answer to their outcries for more maps, Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios have announced a pair of map remakes for Halo 2 from the original Halo. The two maps have been selected based on their popularity and will be completely remade and tweaked ever-so-slightly. From the press release:
The king of "Halo" maps has returned at last. Hang 'Em High, arguably the most popular multiplayer map for the original title, has been reimagined for "Halo 2" as Tombstone, with all-new graphics, features and a few hidden surprises. Now fans will enjoy the dangerous catwalks and trenches that made this the most requested "Halo" multiplayer map ever, with a modernized "Halo 2" flavor.
The second map, Desolation, is a symmetrical, Deathmatch-oriented map and a beautiful remake of the original Derelict. With new graphics and effects and a massive gameplay overhaul, the old favorite is now faster-paced and more balanced than ever – perfect for intense "Halo 2" combat.
The maps will cost a modest $4 and are set to release on April 17. Judging by the 800 million hours spent by Halo 2 players since the game's launch, I take it that these maps will be quite the hit.

Apple's 11.6in MacBook Air release imminent?
Manufacturer ramping up as skinny laptop shrinks
Apple's previously rumoured 11.6in MacBook Air may be nearing release.
Industry moles cited by DigiTimes say that Apple's contract manufacturing partner Quanta will ship up to half a million "11.6in MacBooks" out of its factories by the end of the year.
It seems unlikely that Apple would offer an 11.6in version of its plastic-clad 13.3in MacBook, but with the MacBook Pro range now also extending down to 13.3in screens, there's little room in between these two for the also 13.3in MacBook Air.
The Air was always aimed at buyers seeking a sub-notebook, laptops in which performance plays second fiddle to portability. The Air hasn't been updated for almost 18 months, so it's due a revamp, and to offer it in a reduced size would certainly allow it to slip out from between MacBook and MacBook Pro.
Speculation that the next Air will be an 11.6in machine was first whispered back in June, but the rumour mill has been quiet on the matter since.
If the shift to an 11.6in model seems unlikely, consider 2003's 12in PowerBook G4, which won over a lot of fans for its compact size. Chunky by today's standards, the G4 was ultra-compact back then - a time before tablets and netbooks. The Air came close as an alternative, thanks to its thin design, but it was still quite a wide machine. An 11.6in Air would prove the true successor to the 12in G4 - and as the next, keyboard equipped step up from the iPad. ®

I recently came across this beauty tip from one of the masters of skincare, Ole Henrisken. You simply pour some apple juice in an ice cube tray and allow it to freeze. Then once you have frozen cubes, glide one over the surface of freshly cleansed skin for a minute or two. The frozen juice contains alpha hydroxy acid, which is naturally anti-aging and helps the skin's renewal process. Henriksen says, "it feels like a mini facelift!"
The cubes are also quite tasty to add to seltzer or to have on their own as a refreshing treat.

Obesity is a leading risk factor for some of the nation's most complicated and costly chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
According to ShapUp.org as the nation looks toward controlling health care costs, no workable agenda can ignore the pressing issue of combating obesity in America. After smoking, which causes an estimated 400,000 deaths annually, weight-related conditions are the second leading cause of death in the U.S., resulting in about 300,000 preventable deaths each year. Walking with treadmill desks and proper dietary choices could go a long way in reducing these statistics.
What's worse, dramatic new statistics show that unhealthy weight has increased at record levels over the past decade up from 25 percent of adults in 1980 to 34 percent today. As a result, an estimated 58 million adult Americans, or over a third of the adult population is overweight. This high incidence of obesity is particularly pronounced in minority populations, especially among women, and is rampant among low-income ethnic populations.
Obesity is also a serious health problem for the nation's children. Since 1980 there has been a 42% increase in childhood obesity rates. One out of five teenagers are now considered significantly overweight. What makes this jump in childhood obesity especially worrisome is that overweight in children is related to cardiovascular disease. The death rate from heart disease among children has risen as a result. This is a total tragedy considering that is preventable with exercise and diet.
Escalating rates of obesity are considered a major public health threat because they are directly linked to a number of disabling and life-threatening diseases. Medical researchers calculate that 88 to 97 percent of all cases of Type II (non-insulin dependent) diabetes, 57 to 70 percent of coronary heart disease cases, 11 percent of breast cancers, and 10 percent of colon cancers that are diagnosed in overweight Americans are attributable to obesity.
Further, about a third of all cases of hypertension are thought to be due to obesity, while 70 percent of gallstone cases are attributable to being overweight. What's more, unhealthy weight is associated with osteoarthritis and gout, along with a number of other disabling conditions.
For this reason, obesity is one of the most pervasive health risks affecting Americans today and is also a multibillion dollar drain on the U.S. economy. Medical researchers, using prospective studies and national health statistics, put the cost of obesity at more than $150 billion annually. This includes $45.8 billion in direct costs, such as hospital care and physician services-or 6.8 percent of all health care costs.
Further, obesity costs the economy $18.9 billion a year for such indirect costs as lost output caused by death and disability from weight-related diseases. The number of work days lost to illness attributable to obesity amounts to 53.6 million days per year. This lost productivity costs employers an additional $4.06 billion annually.
These costs, while staggering, can clearly be reduced over time if the country puts it resources behind a national mobilization to promote healthy weight and increased physical activity. Central to this effort is the need to change public perceptions of obesity from an appearance problem to a disease that can be prevented, treated and successfully managed. Walking with treadmill desks could also go a long way in changing the sedentary nature of most people's lives.

Teachers truly can have a major impact.
It's what prompted Lynne Hendrix, retiring as a professor of accountancy after 29 years at the college, to go into higher education.
"I had a few fantastic professors, but one in particular made a difference in my life," she said. "Teachers really do make a difference in helping students achieve their goal."
She found that her best instructors had worked in accounting, so she first went into public accounting herself. She loved it, so much that she nearly stayed in the profession, but a timely (and persistent) invitation from Hope won her over.
Professor Hendrix has made a priority of conveying her enthusiasm for the profession, teaching and living into the slogan "Accounting is Fun." She's also emphasized providing experience for students, directing an accounting internship program that's placed them with firms across the country. Her career highlights include having worked with colleagues Sylvia Boyd and Herb Martin to expand accounting into a major.
Her impact on the Hope community has extended well beyond her department. For the past 24 years, she's been the college's female faculty representative to the MIAA and NCAA. It's been a big commitment, with administrative duties such as serving on committees, calculating team GPAs and nominating individuals for awards and assuring eligibility, but, in true liberal arts fashion, she's valued what Hope athletics bring to students.
"It's another thing that I became passionate about," she said. "I was never a college athlete, but I saw the benefit of athletics—teamwork, listening skills, leadership skills, the realization that there's something bigger than you: the team."
"It's an easy job at a Division III school and in particular at Hope because most of our coaches are also professors, and the professors and athletic directors are primarily concerned about students' academic performance," she said. "That being said, we take athletics very seriously."
She retires ready for other priorities—more involvement in church and community, more time visiting family, sailing on the Great Lakes and other travel—but she also has no regrets about making the change from accounting to Hope.
"You have wonderful students, you have wonderful colleagues, and I learned to appreciate so much the Christian atmosphere of the college," she said. "I look back now and think, 'Why was it such a difficult decision?'"

Was told today that she's almost 4 months along . . . she looks so good. Didn't even know she was pg. Sadly, I see her differently now . . . she's a fluffy now and I'm so jealous and sad. I'm jealous that she gets to complete a full day of teaching without having to puke behind her desk . . . I'm jeaous she can wear heels and make-up at 4m pg . . . her hair is even done and not in the ponytail I wore everyday because that's all I could manage. My goodness, she probably showers every morning before work. I am just so jealous of her that I never got that. I never got to "wait" to tell people at work that I was pg, they knew when I was in the hospital and I had to say why.
Sorry for the vent . . . this is the only place I know people would understand . . .

How to shop for a lens filter?
After deliberating for a long time, which ultra wide lens to get for my Nikon D90 I will go for the Tokina 11-16mm, which I have found for approx £450. Now, the next step is finding the right filter so I am hoping you can help me. I don't want to fork out ridiculous money, but then again I don't want to buy anything cheap for the sake of saving a few bob. I don't see the point of spending a sizeable amount on a lens only to ruin the results with a cheap filter. So, in summary, what is the best filter:price alternative that you would recommend? And also perhaps a polarising filter?
Thanks in advance

The Spring Classics are happy to announce the addition of "The Express Route".
Several riders have expressed their desire to participate and had asked about a route that may be as scenic, perhaps with marginally less climbing. The Express Route will get you to the food and the beer over roads just as scenic albiet in a swifter fashion.
Make no mistake, it's going to be no Sunday ride in the park… riders will still be crushing 80ish miles of riding over varied surfaces and climbing 7,000 vertical feet and change.

Employers Offer Little Help To Workers Sorting Out 401(k) Options
By Carole Fleck , June 13, 2012 02:54 PM
If you give a worker (a cookie and) solid financial benefits, the worker has a much better chance of living comfortably in retirement. And if the worker understands and appreciate those benefits, the happier he or she will be. And the happier the worker is, the more productive he or she will be. And that will boost the employer's bottom line.
But there was also a darker tale told by the new Bank of America Merrill Lynch report, which examined the views of 1,000 employers and 1,000 employees on the availability and usefulness of workplace benefits -- from 401(k) plans and health savings accounts (HSA) to financial advice and education.
It showed that a majority of employers surveyed rated as a core company value giving workers solid financial benefits. Yet they offered their employees very little guidance in sorting out these difficult investment decisions, particularly as workers were transitioning into retirement. In fact, retiring workers were largely on their own in deciding what to do with their 401(k) assets as they prepared to leave the workforce permanently.
Only 39 percent of employers offered advice to their employees on what to do with their 401(k) assets. Just 20 percent educated employees on preparing for future health care costs -- a huge consideration in retirement planning -- or about when it may be best to collect Social Security benefits. It may seem enticing to take Social Security early, for example, but doing so could permanently reduce the benefit amount by as much as 32 percent a month.
How important 401(k) plans were to employees didn't come as a surprise: 91 percent viewed their plans as one of the most critical savings tools leading to a financially secure retirement. But that lack of education by employers may be why just 42 percent of employees surveyed thought they were on track to a comfortable retirement. But 22 percent had no idea whether they were on track or not. And 73 percent believe they'll be working into their 70s.
"Our country's retirement system is facing a great deal of scrutiny," says Kevin Crain, head of Institutional Retirement and Benefit Services for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "Corporate benefit leaders and the retirement services industry must work together to continuously improve . . . the financial lives of the employees participating in it."
The latest study also repeated a finding from last year's report: The recession and rocky recovery continued to heighten employers' sense of responsibility for their employees' financial well-being later in life. Nearly 70 percent said they felt that responsibility.
Yet only 55 percent communicate with employees about their financial benefit plans once a year or less. Most employers (80 percent) acknowledged the need to discuss the broader advantages of benefit plans.

BRASELTON, Ga. (April 21, 2012) - Blake Young scored one of the more improbable and remarkable victories in AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike history on Saturday at Road Atlanta in the opening half of the Triumph Big Kahuna Atlanta presented by Dunlop Tire and LeoVince.
The opening 13 laps of the battle went exactly to script; title rivals Josh Hayes on the Monster Energy Graves Yamaha YZF-R1 and Young aboard the Yoshimura Racing Suzuki GSX-R1000 made a rapid escape from the field and once again settled in for what seemed likely to be a race-long showdown to the checkered flag.
Young sat in Hayes' tow for much of the race's first half before making his move on lap 10 of 20. The two then engaged in repeated duels entering Turn 10a and heading down the hill to Turn 12 with the lap leader point still up for grabs.
Young was able to enter 10a on either the inside or outside with success, but Hayes proved capable of countering by swinging back under to out-accelerate Young heading down the hill in order to reclaim the advantage.
The two did precisely that on lap 13 but disaster struck during the lap-14 encore. The leaders came together heading down the hill as Hayes overtook Young; the Wisconsin native was slammed down to the pavement as their bikes got hung up together with Young's front wheel in the air. Blake's year-plus streak without a crash was ended in an instant, along with his title hopes -- or so it seemed.
A red flag was immediately thrown as the Suzuki star rolled around in obvious pain. However, Young gritted it out, refused medical attention, and limped back to his fallen machine and rode it back into the pitlane to prepare for the restart. At the same time Hayes stopped and waited to check on his rival's condition.
Forced to regrid at the very back of the field, Young somehow sliced his way up to fourth by the completion of the opening lap of the restart. The fall didn't temper Young's aggressiveness in the least -- if anything, he was only more determined. He quickly ripped past National Guard Jordan Suzuki's Roger Hayden and Hayes' teammate (and two-time holeshot winner), Josh Herrin, to glue himself right back on his nemesis' rear wheel.
Young and Hayes resumed their earlier heavyweight tilt, trading inside and outside overtakings to the final lap. The Suzuki pilot made a slingshot maneuver into the lead on the backstraight and then heavily defended through the chicane and down the hill.
Hayes made a last-gasp attempt up the inside of the race's final corner, but Young squared him up and leapt back past as they accelerated to the stripe, winning by 0.293-seconds at the checkered flag.
After winning the first Big Kahuna race of '12, Young joked, "I could have used that surf board when I surfed down the pavement."
"I wasn't too happy about starting on the back row," Young said of the restart. "But I guess that's the rule. It was a good race for us today -- I got a spectacular race. I tried to settle in but I found myself trying to get a breath and it was pretty tough. I was taking a lot of short breaths -- I don't know if it was a result of the crash or because of the adrenaline.
"Once I got to the back of Josh, it seemed like he had a pace that I didn't think I could keep up with but maybe try to do something toward the end there and get a wheel in and mount a pass. I would have been happy to come away with second today.
"Josh came up in the inside on the last lap. He came up there pretty fast and I knew it was going to be tough to get slowed down there and I just squared him up and took it back."
In a show of sportsmanship, Hayes bowed to the victorious Young on his victory lap.
Hayes said, "All-in-all, for me it was a pretty good day. I'm not even that upset about losing the race. More than anything I was really upset when me and Blake tangled up and I realized he wasn't there. It scared me pretty bad.
"For him to be able to get his stuff together and get back out there and race the way he did... bravo. Man, I think it's a great story. It was a hero ride and it's great for our sport. Big congrats to him."
Herrin and Hayden did an admirable job to stick with the leading duo in the post-red flag sprint. Rookie Herrin ultimately scored the first SuperBike podium of his career, finishing less than a second behind the win.
"At the first start I just didn't have the pace to race with Josh and Blake -- they were riding really good," Herrin admitted. "When the red flag came out, it gave me a second chance and I decided to take advantage of it. I felt really good going back out and just gave it everything I had. I didn't give up at all. I was hoping for (the win). It didn't come but I got on the podium, which was my main goal for the weekend."
Hayden came home in fourth while Team Amsoil/Hero EBR's Geoff May picked up an impressive top-five at his home circuit.
Chris Fillmore (KTM/HMC) finished in sixth, with Steve Rapp (Attack Performance Kawasaki), Ben Bostrom (Jordan Suzuki), Chris Clark (Yoshimura Racing Suzuki) and Danny Eslick (Team Hero EBR) rounding out the top ten.
AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike
Former series champion Martin Cardenas won his first AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike contest of the year on Saturday. The GEICO Suzuki rider set pole and ran away with the 20-lap race, although it was not without two drama-filled moments he experienced while riding alone. The second near-miss saw Cardenas, then with a five-second lead, run through the grass to keep from crashing. The Colombian quickly regrouped and set his quick lap of the race the following time around, though.
"It was enough to win this race. I thought it was going to be a big battle like always," said Cardenas, surprised to have run much of the race by himself.
Dane Westby earned second with a brilliant ride. Westby, on board the M4 Broaster Chicken Suzuki, got a poor start and charged through the top 10 to second place. The Oklahoman's race was reminiscent of his Mid-Ohio victory last season as he continued to gain momentum throughout.
Tommy Hayden earned third in his substitute ride on the Y.E.S. Graves Yamaha. Hayden had a race-long battle with Benny Solis (Riders Discount Vesrah Suzuki) who crashed at turn 10 on the penultimate lap. Jake Zemke, riding for the local Ducshop Ducati team, followed. Cory West (Riders Discount Vesrah Suzuki) was solid on his way to fifth place, ahead of former AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike race-winner Bobby Fong (Meen Motorsports) and Huntley Nash in his best ever GoPro Daytona SportBike result for LTD Racing.
DAYTONA® 200 Winner Joey Pascarella earned eighth in his first race for SGA Racing. J.D.Beach was ninth for RoadRace Factory/Red Bull and Michael Beck (Full Tuck Racing) rounded out the top 10.
**AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport **
James Rispoli (Orient Express Celtic Racing) won for the second time in 2012. The reigning AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport king emerged victorious in a hard-fought battle with Jake Lewis (Riders Discount Vesrah Suzuki) that took 16 laps to decide. Rispoli and Lewis both led before Rispoli consolidated the lead at the end to take victory.
Four riders comprised the next group, with Castrol Triumph's Dustin Dominguez taking the spot and the last place on the podium ahead of Travis Wyman (Harv's H-D Yamaha) and Stefano Mesa (Kneedraggers.com Yamaha). RoadRace Factory/Red Bull's Hayden Gillim ran third for much of the race, but faded to sixth.
**AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series **
Tyler O'Hara won pole for the AMA Pro Vance & Hines Series at Road Atlanta. O'Hara, who won the Indianapolis race last year, set a best mark of 1:39.478 on his Bartel's Harley -Davidson XR1200.
Youth and experience were both showcased as Kyle Wyman (KWR), Michael Barnes (Bartel's), and Steve Rapp (Harv's Harley-Davidson) will round out the front row.

I harangued an old guildy, Tickk, enough to drag him away from SWTOR for a couple of nights.
He hasn't played in a while, his gear is just a little bit behind, so when the question of whether to random the BGs or enjoy the SotA weekend, we went with SotA.
One of the good things about SotA is that is more forgiving of less geared players. It's less Player vs. Player, more Machine vs. Player (and Player vs. Machine).
The other thing is that 2 coordinating Frost Mages can cause a lot of havoc in SotA.
Pretty soon we fell into a rhythm. We would play chicken with the 1st frost nova, but after that we would take turns and the Demos would lurch from nova to nova until they were destroyed.
Then I realized that not only were we destroying the Demos, we were also destroying the drivers.
Between Tickk and I we had 6 frost novas (2x: Frost Nova, Pet Freeze, Cone of Cold) and that's before we take cooldowns or Cold Snap into account.
We normally took the Demos down within 5 of those, so the best part was watching the drivers scrambling from the exploding Demo, only to find themselves at the mercy of two Frost Mages and their allies, frozen with no escape.
It was slaughter. There was always one more nova in the barrel and those punks were never lucky.
I should have kept that Clint Eastwood picture for today….
Gnomer and Out!

Consider the MWE below. In the first notation the superindex is higher than necessary since the lower end of the brackets is taken as reference point for the box in which the superindex is set. This is UGLY! Solution: use
Is there any method how I can tell LaTeX (by some code in the preamble) that

Unfortunatelly, I discovered
smash too late and the doc is too long now to do this manually.
$X^{(N)}_t$ vs $X^N_t$ vs $X^{\smash{(N)}}_t$
PS: Or is it bad LaTeX style to use
smash too often? i suppose one had better interfere with LaTeX as little as possible: so is my aesthetic criticism of the notation without

As I neared the ridge, I could hear a set of shuffling, twitchy half-steps, more like pained spasms than any sort of a gait. And when I saw it. . . Oh gods. . . It's like. . . that face. . . THAT HORRIBLE FACE!
"How is he? Will my son ever recover from the bugs that turned his brain to mush?"
The doctor pointed to where the thirty-seven year old was playing with toys on the floor. "It's been five years now and he has the brain of a child, give it another five and we can start the basics of teaching him magic again. He knows who you are but...but he will never have the same personality again, and by the time he regains all his magic skills at their former levels he will be in his sixties."
The flower commonly known as "Blood Petal," Haemorosa is a member of the Necrofoenae family - a family of plants that exhibit a disturbing affinity for the dead.
-Court Herbologist Gertrard di Vini, from his tome "dyFoenis Terrae Modae" - On the Plants of New Terra
One way of getting here, The Concave, is through conflagration of your Soul. Not a nice way to arrive, but at least you'll have the benefit of a guide, unlike most others.
Death cults, worshipers of dark powers, necromancers, and eaters of the dead. Individually these cults are horrible in society and the repercussions can have lasting effects on those they influence and affect. But what if that not just a small group tried to influence their belief on a people, but an entire people tried to use their belief to take over the world?
In a time before time, the creation of Baymaroen was primordial as all worlds are. Forces of energy clashing in a climactic font of brilliance to form the bedrock of the world. Silence issued forth for an eternity but lasting an instant. The appearance of the Firstborn was instantaneous. Life created itself from the cosmic essence left behind by creation. This is the story of the first war, the Untold War.
The Blood Beast, while originally a construct, has surpassed its beginnings to assume a place of infamy.
There are a number of ways to reach The Concave; it seems that falling is one of them, but falling from where?
The follow string of Mirror-folk evolutions, Mihradhz, Mihrral, and Mihradamagus, are collectively known as The Mirr. They are all curious and slightly annoying, each in their own way. They advance through their lives by pestering the rare mortals who visit their plane.
The Mihradhz shrieked, with a sound like fingernails on slate, as it was dragged headlong into our world by a greedy and uncaring spellcaster whose only desire was to defeat his rivals.
The characters are given the task of transporting a flask of highly volatile liquid a long distance. The flask cannot be shaken too much or it will explode. The adventure involves stormy sea-voyages, bumpy cart rides through densely populated towns and horseback combat. In short there are many opportunities for it to break and explode.

Last week, a group of Abington Friends School students — Julie Moskowitz, Monica Guest and Rachel Chmelko — unveiled what might be the best tasting piece of artwork that has ever been placed in the gallery space of Chestnut Hill's Woodmere Art Museum.
The artwork, a gingerbread replica of the museum, detailed with gumballs, cinnamon bark, gumdrops and frosting, is currently on display at the museum and will stay on display for as long as the gingerbread holds up. The students built the museum under the instruction of art teacher Marlene Gawarkiewicz.
"It's really thrilling," said the museum's director, William Valerio, last Friday. "They had to look at the building, figure out the proportions and recreate the architecture all the way up to the Victorian tower."
The building is not a perfect scale replica, but it is a pretty good resemblance of the original. The students even placed tiny candy paintings on the walls. The students used soup cans to bake the curved parts of the museum's exterior walls.
"They really brought the building to life," Valerio said.
Visitors to the museum can find the gingerbread house on a table just a few yards away from Frederic Church's "Sunset in the Berkshire Hills," a prize piece in the museum's permanent collection.

"Hitler and Mars Bars," an Intriguing Title by an Interesting Author, Dianne Ascroft, Who Visits the Child Finder Trilogy
Hitler and Mars Bars is the story of a German boy growing up in war-torn Germany and post war rural Ireland. Set against the backdrop of Operation Shamrock, a little known Irish Red Cross initiative which helped German children after World War II, my novel explores a previously hidden slice of Irish and German history.
Erich, growing up in Germany's embattled Ruhr area during World War II, knows only war and deprivation. His mother disappears after a heavy bombing raid leaving him distraught. After the war the Red Cross transports Erich and his younger brother, Hans, to Ireland, along with hundreds of other children, to recuperate from the devastating conditions in their homeland. During the next few years Erich moves around Ireland through a string of foster families. He experiences the best and worst of Irish life, enduring indifference and brutality and sometimes finding love and acceptance. Plucky and resilient, Erich confronts every challenge he meets and never loses hope. Hitler and Mars Bars is the tale of a boy who is flung into a foreign land to grow and forge a new life.

As I drove home from this week's National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) Los Angeles chapter meeting, one thought dominated my mind: We're all in this together. It seemed like most people at the meeting already knew each other from working together previously. Even though I was mute in the meeting (I'm the type to observe and understand before saying much), I never felt left out. The diversity in the group from young to old, different racial background, skin condition, or treatment therapies didn't matter so much as the fact that we shared the desire to serve the psoriasis community.
I am quite busy with work, family, school, and soccer (club level is a category all in itself!). Still I want to be part of something bigger that can improve the quality of life of those suffering with psoriasis. One of the best ways is to connect with others who share the same goals and passions. I enjoy writing this blog and will continue to do so. At the same time, I want to get involved with others in a larger movement and do something locally.
Why the NPF? I shared with one of the members after the meeting that the NPF educated me about psoriasis when I was a teen struggling to understand what was happening to my skin. I remember those old pamphlets clearly. In those days we didn't have the Internet and the plethora of psoriasis web sites out there. No blogs. I don't remember seeing any public service announcements. Instead, I had a few pamphlets from the NPF that helped me understand my condition and what treatments my doctor prescribed for me. I ordered more when I started taking a new medication, such as methotrexate or ultraviolet light treatment (UVB). The NPF is not the only psoriasis organization or group to join, but it's one I personally feel connected to.
Working in non-profit all these years (mostly at churches), I understand the challenges of recruiting volunteers, fundraising, and motivating for a cause. It does take money to provide research grants, educational material, etc. But more importantly, for the movement to be successful, it takes self-awareness that we psoriatics are all in this together, and we had better start working together and helping each other out. I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing in my volunteer work, nor do I have a clear picture how much time, energy, or money I can give. Because of my own personal story and training I want to help in mentoring, educating, and supporting others.
I hope that you too will consider how to get involved, even in a small ways such as giving the amount you would spend going to dinner to a psoriasis organization, participating in an online forum, or reaching out to one person you know with psoriasis. President Obama, in his speech at the memorial service for the Tucson shooting victims, said, "What matters is not wealth, or status, or power or fame, but how well we have loved, and what small part we have played in making the lives of others better." Since we are all in this together, let's play a small part to make the lives of others with psoriasis better.
How have you been involved in supporting a cause, such as psoriasis, and how did it make you feel? Let's share our stories and encourage each other to keep it up!

Japan tourism and Fukushima: Abukuma Cave, Koriyama, and Ura-Bandai
Japan tourism and Fukushima: Abukuma Cave, Koriyama, and Ura-Bandai
Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
Fukushima is a stunning prefecture in Japan which is awash with amazing landscapes where people can escape the stresses of life. Koriyama is the commercial capital of Fukushima prefecture and for many tourists this city is an ideal base. Also, since the events of March 11, 2011, this part of Japan received international attention because of the nuclear crisis but for the vast majority of this lovely prefecture, life is in full swing and is open for business. Therefore, for internal tourists in Japan and international tourists, it is a great way to support the local economy and at the same time have an amazing holiday because of the stunning nature of Fukushima.
Koriyama is an ideal base because of the amenities available which are top notch. This applies to high quality hotels, modern transport system which is served by the Shinkansen train system, excellent restaurants, stylish boutiques and a buzzing fashion scene, accessible to many places to visit, and a host of other factors. Indeed, it is clear that Koriyama in 2012 is a dynamic city which is the heart of the ongoing development of this beautiful prefecture.
The Abukuma Cave in Fukushima is a great place to visit because this limestone cave is well looked after and provides amazing views inside. Individuals are given two options which apply to a relaxing walk within Abukuma Cave. Therefore, for individuals who are not so healthy then this walk is advised because you can enjoy at your own leisure. However, if you are healthy and adore a challenge then the complex route is most rewarding. Yet be prepared for two or three very difficult areas where you have to nearly crawl in order to get through and continue your walk.
Scenic views within the cave are enthralling and clearly this limestone cave is well preserved and serves tourism in Fukushima extremely well. The views outside Abukuma Cave are also richly rewarding and you have other tourist attractions to enjoy. Therefore, a visit to Abukuma Cave is extremely rewarding and the history behind the formation of stalactites and stalagmites is very interesting.
Another amazing places to visit in Fukushima is Ura-Bandai and this notably applies to Goshiki-numa (five ponds of color). Of course the entire area is awash with amazing scenary and walks to enjoy. Yet the walk in Goshiki-numa is extremely rewarding and will always stay with you because of the stunning scenary and the richness of color. The reason behind the different colors of ponds, and why you have so many ponds and lakes, is because of the volcanic eruption of 1888 which flowed naturally into the Nagase-gawa which is a major river.
Most notable lakes and ponds that were created after the lava from the eruption in 1888 occurred apply to Nakase-numa Pond, Lake Onogawa-ko, Oguni-numa Pond, Lake Hibara-ko, and Lake Akimoto-ko. You also have a wealth of marsh areas. In total you have more than 100 ponds and lakes within the Ura-Bandai area (Bandai-kogen Highlands) and the Goshiki-numa (five ponds of color) walk is a must for all nature lovers. After all, the richness of different colors is a wonder to behold and the walking trail is really enjoyable and for photographers it is a paradize.
Also, for lovers of art and culture you have a stunning museum to visit called Morohashi Museum of Modern Art. The architecture of this museum is really pleasing on the eye and the backdrop of stunning mountains and a stream passing by the art gallery is truly inspiring and melts the heart.
The Morohashi Museum of Modern Art concentrates on such great artists like Paul Cezanne, Salvador Dali, and Pablo Picasso. Currently, you have a major exhibition which highlights the work of Salvador Dali. Also, within this lovely art museum you have many galleries to explore other artists and you also have a nice place to drink coffee and eat cake. This enchanting museum is a must place to visit because it provides a lovely cultural angle which blends naturally within the stunning scenary of Ura-Bandai.
Throughout Fukushima you have many amazing places to visit and given the circumstances of March 11, 2011, it is essential for internal tourists to support the local economy. The same applies to international tourists because Fukushima prefecture and the Tohoku region needs to recover completely from the devastation of the tsunami which killed so many individuals and caused havoc.
At the same time, tourists will be richly rewarded because Fukushima prefecture is a real gem. In Koriyama you will notice a thriving commercial centre where fashion is a major feature. From this ideal base you can visit many tourist attractions including stunning mountain ranges, lakes, ponds, the amazing Abukuma Cave, Tsuruga Castle, Oyaku-en Garden, and so much more. Simply put, Fukushima prefecture is an ideal location for tourists to enjoy stunning nature and relax by visiting an onsen, whereby you can refresh your body and mind.

The Standard-Times of New Bedford is joining a small but growing list of Massachusetts dailies that are charging readers to access big portions of their Web sites.
In The Standard-Times� case, the paper will offer a variety of new print and online subscription plans starting on Jan. 12, with an �all-access� rate of $4.60 per week.
The paper will adopt what it calls a �sampling� model in which visitors to the site will be able to access three stories a month before they are asked to register and become a subscriber. If they choose free registration, they�ll be able to access up to seven additional stories before being required to subscribe.
Certain features such as classified ads, calendar listings and blogs will remain free of charge to all viewers.
The newspaper�s decision to begin charging wasn�t much of a surprise: News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch has said he would like to see online subscriptions at the company�s papers. The Standard-Times, The Cape Cod Times and several smaller community papers in Southeastern Massachusetts became part of News Corp. as part of its Dow Jones & Co. acquisition in mid-2007.
Other Massachusetts dailies that already charge for online access include the Athol Daily News and the Daily Hampshire Gazette in Northampton.
Pat Purcell, the publisher of the Boston Herald and the executive chairman of the News Corp. subsidiary that includes its papers in this state, has said he plans to put in place an online subscription system for the Herald next year.
