The 15 strongest U.S. metros
Oct/09BC
Employment and economic muscle
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke might think the country is out of the recession, but unemployment is rising from Connecticut to California and banks are taking possession of a growing share of American homes. But some metros across the nation have managed to stay out of the recession’s path and could now be poised for recovery. Using data and analysis from the Brookings Institution’s new MetroMonitor study, BusinessWeek.com ranked the nation’s top 40 economies based on job growth, employment, economic growth and home prices. And Texas seems to be the clear winner, with San Antonio at the top of the list and five metros in the top 10. To see which metros made the list, read on.
Best of Frozen Pizza
Oct/09BC

Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine bought ate many different brands of pizzas from the grocery store, the listed categories below are the ones that came out on top.
BEST OVERALL: American Flatbread Cheese and Herb
“It’s pizza in its purest form,” one taster said, “simple and earthy.” (americanflatbread.com for stores)
BEST CHEESE: Wolfgang Puck All-Natural Margherita
This pie won raves over the “big, pretty” tomato slices and strong flavors of olive oil and herbs: “It tastes like fresh pesto.”
BEST PEPPERONI: Tombstone Pepperoni
Tasters called it “one generously topped” pie. The supermarket standby also scored big for its “thick and salty” slices.
BEST VEGETABLE: DiGiorno Rising Crust Spinach, Mushroom & Garlic
“It’s doughy on the inside and crisp on the outside,” said one taster. And this well-decorated pie is smothered with “loads of spinach” and “fresh-tasting mushrooms.”
BEST SAUSAGE: Home Run Inn Deep Dish Sausage
Tasters said the inside-out deep-dish pie is worth the fuss, praising its “crunchy crust,” “big tomato chunks” and “juicy sausage.” (homeruninn.com for stores)
BEST CRUST: Amy’s Kitchen 3-Cheese Pizza with Cornmeal Crust
Freezers aren’t always kind to pizza crust—making them doughy, dense or limp. But judges noted the “great cornmeal texture” on this unique recipe.
BEST ODDBALL
California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken
The frozen supermarket version of the restaurant’s pie beat plenty of wacky pizzas. Judges loved the “tangy” sauce and “mountain of toppings.”
