Ellis & Jennings combine for 44 points, 1 turnover
Monta Ellis scored six of his 22 points in the final 2 minutes to help the Milwaukee Bucks hold off the New Orleans Hornets 117-113 on Saturday night.
Brandon Jennings also had 22 points, and Mike Dunleavy added 17 for Milwaukee, 6-2 in its best start since opening 9-1 in 2001-02.
Top overall draft pick Anthony Davis had a season-high 28 points and tied his season high with 11 rebounds for New Orleans. Ryan Anderson added 20 points for the Hornets.
Davis had consecutive three-point plays to pull the Hornets to 110-108 with 2:02 to play, but Ellis hit a 20-footer falling away from the basket for Milwaukee.
Anderson tipped in a miss for New Orleans, and Ellis hit another jumper for the Bucks. After Anderson missed a shot from in close, Milwaukee's Larry Sanders missed a layup, then made up for it when he blocked Anderson's driving shot. The Bucks controlled the ball, forcing Roger Mason to foul Jennings, who made one of two free throws for a 115-110 lead with 12.3 seconds to go.
After a timeout, Anderson hit a tough 3 with 4.8 seconds left. Greivis Vasquez immediately fouled Ellis and he made both free throws to cap the scoring. The last chance for the Hornets came when Davis' inbound pass went across the court and off Mason's hands as time expired.
Anderson's 3 gave the Hornets a 94-91 lead to start the fourth, but the Bucks answered with an 11-2 run sparked by two three-pointers from Beno Udrih and one from Jennings for a 102-96 lead with 8:12 to play.
The Bucks were coming off a 99-85 victory over Indiana on Wednesday night, while the Hornets were beaten 110-95 by Oklahoma City on Friday night. The Hornets have lost four of five.
Ellis and Jennings each had nine assists in Milwaukee's rare win against the Hornets. Milwaukee had dropped 11 of the last 12 meetings dating to Jan. 30, 2006. Their last victory was Feb. 24, 2010, 115-95.
NOTES: Milwaukee scored 60 points or more in the first half for the third consecutive game. ... The Hornets shot 64.7 percent (11 of 17) in the first quarter. ... The Hornets shot 60 percent through three quarters, then shot 38 percent in the fourth.

Best/Worst of 2009: Fergie Wedding Cheese
Maybe if you sell your wedding photos to a magazine you're just f-cking asking for it. In light of what happened after… well… enough said.
Remember these pictures? The original article is here and the entire album is here. The black and white ones, really, are the worst of the lot. Fergie and Josh undressing each other, in bed together, feigning tenderness together as a photographer and his assistant adjust the light and her publicist stands around handling the situation…SO ROMANTIC.
How else do you think celebrity photo shoots go down?
You think these were "candid"?
It's the ultimate in contrivance. All for a fee. Not sure exactly how much but there was a cheque. Like two loser f-cking reality show stars, only Fergie is a multimillion album artist, solo AND in a band. Which makes it even tackier.
I especially enjoy the one where she's unbuttoning his shirt. Come ON.

HER2-positive breast cancer is a breast cancer that tests positive for a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which promotes the growth of cancer cells.
In about 1 of every 5 breast cancers, the cancer cells have a gene mutation that makes an excess of the HER2 protein. HER2-positive breast cancers tend to be more aggressive than other types of breast cancer. They're less likely to be sensitive to hormone therapy, though many people with HER2-positive breast cancer can still benefit from hormone therapy.
Treatments that specifically target HER2 are very effective. These treatments are so effective that the prognosis for HER2-positive breast cancer is actually quite good.
Treatments include:
In addition, there are several new medications being developed that also target HER2 and are being tested in clinical trials.
Certain standard chemotherapy drugs also can be effective in treating HER2-positive breast cancers, although these drugs don't specifically target the HER2 protein.
Experts recommend that every invasive breast cancer be tested for the presence of HER2 because the results significantly impact treatment recommendations and decisions. HER2 testing is not done routinely for ductal carcinoma in situ, except as part of a clinical trial.
Whenever breast cancer recurs or spreads, the cancer cells should be retested for HER2 as well as for hormone receptor status, as these can change from the original diagnosis.

WALTHAM, Mass. – Over the course of two games today, Brandeis senior 1B Marianne Specker (So. Windsor, Conn./Westminster School) drove in 10 runs as the Judges defeated local rivals Lasell College, 20-1 in five innings in the opener and 8-3 in the nightcap. The Judges won their fifth game in a row to improve to 10-8 on the season, while the Lasers fall to 4-20.
In the first game, Specker set a career-high with seven RBI, helping the Judges to match their highest offensive output and established the largest margin of victory in head coach Jessica Johnson's six-year tenure with the program. Specker went 2-for-4 and scored two runs. She hit a three-run triple in the second inning that took advantage of an outfield shifted expecting her to go the other way. Specker reached on an error in the third inning that produced two runs, and in the fourth, she blasted a grand slam, Brandeis's first since last March 26. It was her first home of the season and the fifth of her career. The seven RBI are the most in a game by a Brandeis player since at least 2004. In game two, Specker went 1-for-3 with a three-run double that opened the scoring in the third inning.
The Judges' other top offensive performance was turned in by sophomore 2B Leah McWilliams (Billerica, Mass./Billerica Memorial), who reached base in all seven of her plate appearances. McWilliams had six hits in six at-bats, going 3-for-3 in each game, along with a walk in the first contest. She scored three runs in both games and drove in three in the first and two more in the second. Senior Lauren Porcaro (Shrewsbury, Mass./Shrewsbury) doubled in both games, giving her a team-leading six on the season, while senior Caroline Miller (Bala Cynwyd, Pa./Harriton) smacked her third home run of the season in the first contest.
In the circle for Brandeis, Miller struck out six and allowed two hits in three innings of game one to earn the win, improving to 5-4 on the season. In the nightcap, sophomore Melissa Nolan (Windsor, Conn./Loomis Chaffee) tossed seven innings of four-hit ball, giving up three earned runs. She fanned eight and walked four, improving to 3-1 in the process.
For Lasell on the afternoon, rookie 3B Mary Fontaine (Nashua, N.H./Nashua South) hit a home run in the fourth inning of game one, spoiling Brandeis's shutout bid. It was her second of the season. Junior LF Candace Hankard (Wakefield, Mass./Wakefield Memorial) had a two-run double for the Lasers in game two, while senior 1B Jaqui Saluti (Braintree, Mass./Braintree) also had a double and was the visitors' only multiple hitter on the day. Jaqui's sister Alison suffered the loss for Lasell in the second game, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits and two walks in six innings. She struck out three.
Brandeis returns to action tomorrow afternoon against Suffolk University at 3:30 p.m. Lasell is at Mount Ida for a GNAC doubleheader Friday at 3:00 p.m.

2005 HEMI Engine Challenge Results
We Have a Winner In One of the Closest Engine Competitions Ever
Those of you who have been following our Hemi engine challenge are aware that all of the competitors tweaked some serious power from their 500-inch elephant engines. All the engines in the competition made at least 650 hp, with the top engines pushing well past the 700hp mark. our competition had the added twist of factoring the horsepower and torque the engine made into the price of the engine to determine who made the most power for the dollar. Our idea was to demonstrate the variety of components and building techniques the builders utilized to make great power, while keeping the cost at a reasonable level. This year we congratulate Chuck Lofgren and his team from Lofgren Auto Specialties in Cedar, Minnesota, who squeezed the most power-per-dollar from the smallest cubic-inch engine entered in the competition.
We want all our readers to know this was a very close competition. While some of the builders obviously went for peak power numbers, others were intent on keeping costs down and shooting for the best power-per-dollar. To calculate the power-per-dollar of the engines, we used third-party retailers to price all the major components of each engine. Labor was assumed to be equal and couldn't really be judged accurately, so it was not factored into our formula. Even with engines topped with cylinder heads from Indy, Stage V, Mopar Performance, and a set of factory cast-iron units, as well as induction ranging from dual Edelbrock carburetors to a single Holley Dominator mounted on an Indy single plane intake, our top competitors were separated only by decimal points. Regardless of the combination, all of these engines performed very well, and we would be happy to have any of them in our cars.
While all our competitors used the same Mopar Performance block as required by the rules of our challenge, what went inside the block was very different. Since the competition was based on the cost of the parts, as well as the power made, exotic, pricey pieces were kept to a minimum in most engines. Each builder concentrated on putting together a solid combination, spending extra money where they thought it would help the most. Some utilized special friction enhancing coatings, while others opted for dual-carburetor induction.
Starting with the Lofgren entry, we'll give an overview of each builder's techniques, as well as the parts they used in their engine. Look for in-depth breakdowns of the engines and their components in future issues. We're sure you'll agree that all of these builders have earned some well-deserved respect when it comes to building a potent street Hemi. We're also sure you'll be impressed with the diversity of parts and techniques used by the builders to make their power.

Lofgren Auto SpecialtiesCedar, MinnesotaOur top honors in this year's engine challenge go to Chuck Lofgren and his team for their potent 485ci iron-headed Hemi. This engine made more than 725 hp during its judged dyno pulls and pulled strongly all the way past our 7,000-rpm limit for the competition. Due in part to an aggressive cam profile, this engine had 4.0 inches of manifold vacuum at 1,000 rpm, which probably limits the use of power brakes, but are you really concerned with power brakes when you have some 725 hp on tap? Chuck used a stout bottom end, consisting of an Eagle crank and rods, combined with Mopar Performance pistons, a Melling oil pump, and Milodon oil pan to keep everything lubricated. To keep costs down, Lofgren's utilized a used set of '68 casting, factory Hemi cylinder heads, which were massaged for optimum flow. One of the tricks utilized in this engine was the use of custom nail-head Ferrea intake valves that Chuck says were good for significantly more cylinder head flow on the intake side. Cam Motion provided the bumpstick for this engine that not only made good top-end power, but had very broad torque and power curves. Topping off the combination was an Indy single plane intake with a Barry Grant 1090 King Demon carburetor. Lofgren Auto Specialties did a great job of nursing very respectable power from this economical combination of parts to lead the competition in this year's challenge. Chuck says this combination will retail for $22,900 carb to pan.
Muscle MotorsLansing, MichiganMike Ware of Muscle Motors had some tricks up his sleeve for the engine challenge. After overcoming several difficulties during the dyno pulls, Mike attained a respectable 666.5 hp from his entry in the challenge and a very streetable 5.9 inches of manifold vacuum, but we have a feeling he wasn't going for the peak horsepower lead. Mike's combination of economical parts, combined with respectable horsepower and torque numbers had what it took to earn a very close second place in the contest. Muscle Motors utilized a great combination of off-the-shelf parts, combined with their own Private Label crankshaft and connecting rods, to build the most economically priced engine in the competition. Trading power for cost, Mike utilized Mopar Performance aluminum cylinder heads on his engine. Steel heads would make more power because of their thermal efficiency, but the aluminum units actually retail for less money. Diamond pistons and a Competition Cams solid flat tappet camshaft and matching springs were installed in this engine and topped off with a King Demon 1190 carburetor mounted on an Indy single plane intake. Muscle Motors retail price for this engine is $17,150 complete.
J.D. Engine and MachineColumbia, MissouriJeff Dickey and his team from J.D. Engine and Machine hold the title for making the most power in our competition. Jeff's tunnel-ram-equipped Hemi blasted its way to a best pull of more than 728 hp and 615 lb-ft of torque to lead the field in terms of power. Even more impressive is the fact they did it with a hurt engine. At least two valvesprings were weakened to the point of valve float, causing power to drop dramatically above 6,700 rpm and probably costing Jeff top honors in our challenge. Even so, J.D. Engine and Machine made a respectable third place showing and topped the field with a power-brake-friendly 6.75 inches of manifold vacuum. Jeff utilized a solid combination of economical parts, including an Eagle crank and rods, Diamond pistons, and a Comp cam and lifters to achieve his goals. He topped off his combination with Stage V Engineering aluminum cylinder heads. Jeff and his team concentrated on cylinder head flow, compression, and induction to achieve their power numbers and were the only competitors to utilize a tunnel-ram intake. The Indy dual-quad unit matched with a pair of Holley 750 Dominators did its job as his competition-leading power was still climbing when valve float took its toll, limiting his peak power to 6,700 rpm--300 rpm shy of the limit set by the rules. We're sure this combination with a new set of valvesprings would have impressed us with even higher numbers. While the tunnel ram and Dominators made great power, the induction setup was also the most expensive in the competition, taking away from the power-per-dollar rating and landing Jeff in third Place. Jeff and his shop can build as much power as your budget allows and will retail this potent street Hemi for $22,000 complete.
Speed-O-MotiveWest Covina, CaliforniaHolding the honors for most power with a single carburetor, and coming in fourth in the power-per-dollar competition is Speed-O-Motive's entry, which made some 722.6 hp and 618.8 lb-ft of torque. Manifold vacuum for this engine was 5.0 inches at 1,000 rpm, which would certainly allow power brakes if desired. August Cedarstrand of Speed-O-Motive was probably the most laid-back competitor we had--making only minor ignition timing changes to his engine during the dyno pulls. Utilizing Eagle crank and rods, combined with Ross pistons and a Competition Cams custom-ground camshaft, their durable bottom-end was topped with Stage V engineering street Hemi cylinder heads and an Indy intake sporting a Barry Grant Race Demon carburetor. The only technique utilized by Speed-O-Motive that could be considered exotic was their extensive use of metal coatings as both friction improvers and heat barriers in their motor. These special coatings have been shown to improve both power and endurance, but the gains come at the cost of dollars. Speed-O-Motives retail price for this Hemi is $17,900 complete and includes delivery to any of the 48 states.
Mid America Racing EnginesWashington, IowaDavid Bruns of Mid America Racing Engines built what was probably the most streetable entry to earn fifth place honors in our competition. Even with the lowest compression ratio of any of the entrants, Mid America made a street friendly 666 hp and showed a very broad torque curve. Though manifold vacuum was a somewhat low 4.2 inches, this engine was making an amazing 530 lb-ft of torque at a low 3,000 rpm. Inside their Mopar Performance block, David utilized an Eagle crank with durable, though expensive, Manley connecting rods. JE forged pistons completed this tough rotating assembly, which was topped with Indy CNC ported aluminum cylinder heads and a single Dominator-fed Indy intake. An Isky cam actuated the Indy valves to provide a smooth operating engine with very reasonable idle qualities. Of all the engines tested in our competition, the Mid America entry was the happiest running on the 93-octane Rockett Brand fuel. This engine sounded as if it would run very strongly even on lower octane fuel, showing no signs of detonation during the dyno pulls. David utilized metal coatings on the pistons; relying on quality parts and accurate assembly techniques to make his power and give his engine the longevity to provide years of street use. The Mid America entry retails for $20,000 complete.
Indy Cylinder HeadIndianapolis, IndianaThere is likely no name more well-known than Indy Cylinder Head when it comes to making Mopar power. Whether big-block, small-block, or Hemi, Indy Cylinder Head has a reputation for manufacturing top-quality parts utilizing cutting-edge technology. More than thirty years experience have taught the guys at Indy how to make reliable power without breaking your automotive budget. Unfortunately, a wiped-out camshaft severely limited the power made by the Indy Cylinder Head entry, landing them a sixth place in our challenge. While their 649 hp was certainly respectable, we're sure these guys could have been more competitive if not for the camshaft problem they encountered. Manifold vacuum was a strong 6.5 inches, indicating the streetability of this combination. Indy used the smallest bore/longest stroke combination of any entrant and utilized a strong--and pricey--Callies 4.500 stroke crankshaft. Tough Manley H-beam rods connected to Arias small-dome forged pistons rounded out their rotating assembly. When it came to camshaft selection, Indy chose to use their entry for some research and development. Testing a welded and re-ground billet core with Comp solid flat tappet lifters proved to be their downfall as a compatibility issue caused several cam lobes to wear excessively, limiting the output of their engine. Topped with their CNC ported aluminum cylinder heads and a King Demon-fed single-plane Indy intake, their engine definitely had more potential than was shown in our challenge. Indy's price for this engine (without the camshaft problem) is a reasonable $17,950 complete.
Hemis OnlyAkron, OhioLarry Sheppard of Hemis Only is probably one of the most experienced Hemi engine builders in the country. In addition to his engine building expertise, Larry serves time as a Top Fuel mechanic and clutch man. The 701 hp that his engine made was impressive, but we were more impressed with the contest-leading 639 lb-ft of torque that his entry made. This was definitely a solid engine and made these numbers after a dyno malfunction caused the engine to backfire, detonate, and collapse two piston domes, pinching the rings in the process. Even with a damaged engine, Larry's numbers, factored into the cost of his entry, would have certainly placed him higher than seventh in our challenge, but during the post-test inspection, Larry was found to be using parts that were outside the rules of the competition. Unfortunately, it seems the copy of the challenge rules that Larry received was missing the page that dictated legal crankshafts and lifters. While we will not be officially disqualifying Larry because the mistake seems to be inadvertent, we do not feel it would be fair to the other competitors to rank Larry's entry where it would have placed had he used legal parts. Nevertheless, we were impressed with the power and torque the Hemis Only entry made and wish we could have seen its true potential.
We at Mopar Muscle were very impressed with all the engines entered in this year's challenge and would like to thank all the participants and sponsors of our competition. We encourage you to contact any of these professional builders regarding your next engine project. We found all our competitors to be true Mopar guys with experience building small-blocks, big-blocks, and Hemi engines. All our competitors have full-service machine shops and can help meet your needs, whether you want a turnkey crate engine or just need machine shop services. We congratulate all our competitors for bringing solid combinations to our challenge, as well as for their professionalism. We can only hope that next year's competition is as fun and exciting as this one.

Ben Bernanke was pitched a softball on Tuesday in his first public appearance since stepping down as chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve in January.
Answering questions at a forum hosted by the National Bank of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, Mr. Bernanke defended the biggest and boldest decisions in his eight-year career as Fed chairman, while admitting the central bank could have done a better job explaining its bailouts of large financial institutions to the public.
Mr. Bernanke, who helped steer the world's biggest economy through the worst global recession since the Great Depression, said the Fed could have mitigated the crisis had it known what was coming, but nevertheless did well under the circumstances.
"Obviously I wish we hadn't had a crisis," he said. "I wish the recovery had been faster. On the other hand, things could have been a lot worse. We did in fact stabilize the system. We have had recovery. I think this is a good thing to leave to history. People will make their judgments about this. It's not a simple answer."
Since leaving the Fed, Mr. Bernanke has faced criticism over the central bank's failure to act more aggressively in 2008 as Lehman Brothers teetered on the brink of failure and systemic financial stresses appeared to be mounting.
Former shareholders of the insurance giant AIG are also contending in a lawsuit that the Fed's hastily-arranged bailout – one of Mr. Bernanke's signature post-crisis moves – was unfair to them.
Looking back, Mr. Bernanke said there wasn't a reasonable alternative to the AIG bailout, even if it sent a message that the government was going to rescue big financial companies. The government ended up netting a $22.7 billion profit from the deal.
"We felt we had to do that because given how bad-off the markets already were, the collapse of AIG, the largest insurance company in the world, would probably have completely cratered the markets," he said. "It was a very, very difficult decision because we were committing initially $85 billion and ultimately $182 billion. It's a lot of money, and you don't want to lose that kind of money."
One of the biggest tensions at the Fed as it lowered interest rates and helped avert the collapse of some of the country's largest banks was how to communicate these actions to the public in line with the Fed's legal mandate: to ensure full employment and keep the economy ticking, Mr. Bernanke said. The Fed's fundamental role was to serve the average American, he said, but the help the Fed extended to big financial firms struck a sometimes discordant tone.
"The natural reaction from the guy on Main Street is, well, how come you're bailing them out and not bailing me out?" he said. "And the answer is complicated: by preventing the system from collapsing, we are protecting the economy and we are protecting you. It's a complicated argument to make, and I don't think we always made it as well as we could have, frankly."
With the depths of the crisis behind it, Mr. Bernanke said the U.S. had a good chance of seeing 3% GDP growth this year, thanks to better household balance sheets, a slight loosening of the fiscal purse strings and recovery in the housing market.
After leaving the Fed, Mr. Bernanke joined the Brookings Institution, a Washington think-tank. He is working on a memoir and said he plans to do speaking engagements. He also appears to be basking in the relative ease of a less-scrutinized life: per the Washington Post, he's been seen in the capital recently wearing polo shirts with a Brookings ID slung around his neck.

(CBS News) SANFORD, Florida - The defense of George Zimmerman rests on a violent fight that he said occurred before he fired the shot that killed Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman is neighborhood watch volunteer at the center of the case. It was almost five weeks that Martin, the unarmed 17-year-old, was killed after Zimmerman found him suspicious. We don't know what happened immediately immediately before the shot was fired. CBS News correspondent Mark Strassman has new evidence in the case.
Trayvon Martin was buried in Miami with a gunshot wound to his chest. But otherwise, according to Richard Kurtz, the funeral director who prepared Martin for burial, his body showed no injuries.
"We could see no physical signs like there had been a scuffle [or] there had been a fight," he said. "The hands -- I didn't see any knuckles, bruises or what have you. And that is something we would have covered up if it would have been there."
Video shows Zimmerman with cops; Dad speaks out
Complete coverage: The shooting of Trayvon Martin
And as a surveillance tape shows, George Zimmerman in handcuffs, 40 minutes after he killed Trayvon Martin. He seemed to show no apparent injuries, either.
Yet Zimmerman claims Martin beat him and threatened his life, so he shot the teenager in self-defense.
But Ben Crump, the lawyer for Martin's parents, said the video shows a murderer.
"Look at that video," he said. "Do you see any blood on his head? He said he broke his nose. Look at that video. And look at how easy he walks out of the car."
Zimmerman, a crime watch volunteer, thought Martin looked suspicious, called police, and followed Martin along a street and around a corner.
Robert Zimmerman, the gunman's father, told WOFL-TV in Orlando that Martin suddenly confronted his son.
Watch the full interview with Richard Kurtz, the funeral director who prepared Trayvon Martin's body for burial, below:
"At that point he was punched in the nose," he said. "His nose was broken. and he was knocked to the concrete. Trayvon Martin got on top of him and just started beating him in the face and in the nose, hitting his head on the concrete."
Police reports noted Zimmerman was "bleeding from the nose and the back of the head." But a closer look at Zimmerman shows no obvious head or face injuries. At one point, an officer does check the back of his head.
Martin's family contends this video proves police never wanted to arrest Zimmerman.
And Cheryl Brown said a widespread perception is wrong: Sanford police wanted to charge Zimmerman. She identified Chris Serino as the lead investigator who questioned people in the neighborhood.
"Detective Serino -- did you have the sense when he interviewed you that he thought it was a killing in self-defense?" Strassmann asked Brown.
"No, because he actually stated to me in my family room that 'we do not believe it was self-defense and we need to prove it,'" said Brown.
A special prosecutor will now decide whether Zimmerman deserves to be charged. Zimmerman's father insists his son is also a victim here.
"...They are just making up stuff that are not true about George. How he is being portrayed is an absolute lie."
Robert Zimmerman said Martin beat his son for more than one minute. And when his son fired his .9-mm, Robert Zimmerman said it was because he had no choice.

When Andrew Stanton was in London last month, I went down to see almost twenty minutes of the film and to hear what he had to say about it. He was most interesting, not to mention infectiously passionate. I've already shared his empassioned feelings about how the movie industry is broken.
One of the most interesting things Stanton had to say, I think, was his explanation of why the film is now called just John Carter, plain and simple and without Of Mars. It seems to be a controversial decision, but he certainly has his reasons:
Here's the real truth of it. I'd already changed it from A Princess Of Mars to John Carter Of Mars. I don't like to get fixated on it, but I changed Princess Of Mars… because not a single boy would go.
And then the other truth is, no girl would go to see John Carter Of Mars. So I said, "I don't won't to do anything out of fear, I hate doing things out of fear, but I can't ignore that truth."
All the time we were making this big character story which just so happens to be in this big, spectacular new environment. But it's not about the spectacle, it's about the investment. I thought, I've really worked hard to make all of this an origin story. It's about a guy becoming John Carter. So I'm not misrepresenting what this movie is, it's John Carter.
Mars is going to stick on any other film in the series. But by then, it won't have a stigma to it.
Any other film in the series? Yep. Stay tuned for more on that soon…

Today we went tree hunting at our local farm. Funny how we have made that place a regular stop for most of our holiday traditions. Summer berries on St. Jean Baptiste Holiday, Apples in the fall, pumpkins for Halloween, and a tree for Christmas. We've certainly gotten our money's worth from the annual family passes.
This month at Scrap YOUrself challenge blog, we're all about those little family traditions we all hold so dear. Stop by and have a look at the beautiful creations from the design team.
We unwrap new jammies and stories Christmas Eve as do many families. Not only do the new pajamas make for nice Christmas photos that night and next morning, We love winding up the excitement of the night with some quiet time reading together before bed. I know that sooner than later, those little boys will be too big to fit on my lap, and The Gingerbread Pirates and other loved stories will be a faded memory.
Take the time to scrap your present or past Christmas traditions this month, and be sure to include yourself in the photos, so those memories can be passed on.

If the world of golf was a planet-sized, dimpled white ball, Tiger Woods would be the Atlas holding it aloft on his shoulders.
From busboys to CEOs, from television executives to clerks at sporting goods stores, as goes the world's greatest golfer, so goes an entire industry. And this Atlas has been doing a lot of shrugging lately. But now that he has announced his long-awaited return to the sport, there is a palpable buzz throughout the sport and all the people who depend on it to make a living.
No community was more relieved at news that Woods is getting back in the game than the city of Augusta, Ga., site of the PGA's Masters tournament. News that Woods would play his first competitive round in nearly five months at the prestigious tourney sent the city of 200,000, located 150 miles east of Atlanta, into overdrive.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Residents and merchants are working around the clock this week to prepare for Woods' return to the tournament he has won four times. As landscapers tend to pristine yards and business owners spruce up their shops and restaurants, everyone is breathing a sigh of relief, and smelling money.
"Part of the lifeblood of Augusta is people renting their house during Masters week," says Chuck Baldwin, owner of the cajun-themed French Market Grille, which he calls "ground zero" for visitors attending the Master's tournament. In recent months, Baldwin noticed that people were getting nervous that Woods wouldn't participate, which was driving down rental prices.
"There was a house asking $7,000 for the week, and once Tiger committed, they changed their price to $21,000 and rented it immediately," he says. "Some people pay six months of their mortgage from renting their house."
Area hotels and bed-and-breakfasts get in on the action as well. While the city does not keep a week-by-week tally of income, last year lodging tax collections for the month of April totaled $9.75 million, up 200 percent from the average month. The Masters drives the annual boom, and this year's could be bigger than ever.
The excitement in Augusta started long before Woods swings a club and launches his quest for a fifth green jacket at the fabled Augusta National Golf Club, as media from all over the world descends on this bucolic city to set up camp. "There's a sense of gleeful anticipation," says Baldwin.
At Bonventura Discount Golf, one of the oldest golfing retail chains in the country, owner L.D. Waters is just happy that golf season is starting up again. The Masters is the first major tournament of the year and it always sparks renewed interested in golf equipment.
"It's like having Christmas during April," says Waters, noting that his business usually earns as much money during Master's week as it does during the entire holiday season.
And that's just to start. "We do more business after," says Waters. "People tend to make the big purchases after the tournament ends. They usually see a product they like on television and come in and pick it up after the Masters ends."
Waters hopes that a stellar performance by Woods will boost his Tiger Woods products, whose sales have been in the rough since the scandal.
However, Doug Janchik, co-owner of onlygolfapparel.com said that his national sales of Tiger Woods products have actually gone up 14 percent since January. He thinks that Woods enjoys a loyal fan base and attributes the bump in sales to all the media attention he's getting. "Every time he's on TV, we sell product," he said.
Still, some are worried that Woods threw his visor into the ring too late for many long-term planners who have opted out of coming to Augusta this year.
"Last year was quieter. I believe this year will be the same due to the economy," said Karen Miller, manager of Somewhere in Augusta, a bustling restaurant and sports bar less than half a mile from the Masters fairways. "I believe if Tiger had said he was coming earlier, things would be busier."
Nevertheless, Miller and her crew are "busy as bees right now," setting up extra tables and chairs, fencing off a beer garden, and updating the menu. Miller says she looks forward to the event every year, even if she's scheduled to work 86 hours that week.
And the restaurant is cashing in on all the Tiger Woods hoopla as well. Batches of T-shirts reading "Tiger's Back - Masters 2010," are flying off the shelves. "We've sold out twice already," says Miller.
At The Playground, a happening bar in downtown Augusta, manager Sam Adam hasn't concocted any quick money-making schemes involving Woods, although she thinks a "sex-on-the-golf-course" could be a popular drink. "Coconut rum and melon liqueur!" she laughed.
Although Adam will be working seven straight 12-hour shifts during the Masters, she says it's thrilling meeting people from all over the world. "We get people from Germany, England, Italy, all over America. And people from Ireland who order Bud. That always cracks me up," she said.
Some find it hard to criticize a man they know puts money in their pocket. "If you think it doesn't happen with most athletes, I think you have your head in the sand," said Karen Miller.
"He's an amazing golfer and he always has been. His personal life shouldn't affect anything," Adams added.
The world will be watching when Woods tees off, but whether his return is triumphant or disappointing, the city of Augusta figures to hit the green.

No new feature for FluidMark, it's still based on PhysX 2.8.4 (I will start very shortly the dev of new tests/benchmarks with PhysX 3.x, just few things to finish before). FluidMark 1.5.1 is a maintenance release and comes with ZoomGPU 1.8.12 that supports latest NVIDIA GPUs (GTX Titan as well as some notebook GPUs like GTX 600M series, GT 600M series). And for command line lovers, two new parameters have been added to launch FluidMark with Preset:1080 or Preset:720 (scores can be stored in a CSV file).
FluidMark 1.5.2 DOWNLOAD
What is FluidMark?
FluidMark is a fluid simulation benchmark based on NVIDIA PhysX engine. The fluid simulation uses the SPH or Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method where interparticle forces are considered (SPH requires more CPU or GPU horsepower!). FluidMark support both CPU and GPU PhysX and in CPU mode, multi-core CPUs are supported (see HERE). FluidMark uses an OpenGL 2 renderer for drawing the 3D scene.
FluidMark 1.5.2 changelog
- Bugfix: in some situations, the score box was not displayed at the end of the benchmark.
- Change: GPU monitoring code updated with ZoomGPU 1.8.13.
FluidMark 1.5.1 changelog
- New: added two command line params: /preset_1080 and /preset_720.
- New: added NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan as well as several mobile GPUs: GTX 6xxM, GT 6xxM, GT 5xxM.
- Change: GPU monitoring code updated with ZoomGPU 1.8.12.

Journalist security is still a maturing field, but news organizations are devoting more attention to preparing their reporters and photographers for the dangers particular to the profession. That means understanding risks that are constantly evolving. The brutal attack on CBS correspondent Lara Logan at a Cairo demonstration has drawn worldwide attention to the issue of sexual assault against journalists--CPJ issued new guidelines on the threat today--but the case also points to an emerging, if lesser-known threat. In the past 18 months, more journalists have been killed covering violent demonstrations and other non-military events than at any time since CPJ began keeping detailed records two decades ago.
"The Lara Logan case drove the point home, that we must prepare our journalists not only for the battlefield but for all of the various new threats they face when covering the news," said Larry Rubenstein, a photojournalist who recently became Thomson Reuters' general manager for safety and logistics for editorial. "But we've been seeing it for some time and are continually reviewing our training."
For decades the overwhelming majority of all journalists killed worldwide, nearly three out four, were murdered outright. Most were local journalists murdered in direct reprisal for their work. Fewer than one in five were killed in combat. And even fewer, about one in 10, were killed covering violent demonstrations.
That seems to have changed, at least for the time being. The rise of street demonstrations and related violent clashes poses an emerging threat to journalists. So far this year, for the first time that CPJ has documented, more journalists (eight) died in violent protests than were murdered (four) or killed on the battlefield (five).
The shift began last year, when one in four work-related fatalities was related to street demonstrations. One has go to back well over a decade in CPJ's database to find a time when a sizeable number of journalists were killed outside of murder or military combat. (The year was 1997, when five documentary filmmakers were among 17 people killed in a bomb attack in India.)
Rubenstein says Thomson Reuters is adjusting its security training and protocols to take into account a shift from battlefield hazards to civilian threats. The changes include more training in cultural skills to help journalists navigate chaotic crowds. Security professionals who train journalists say they are adjusting their curriculum to reflect the challenges.
For years, former military personnel--especially British Royal Marines who dominate firms such as Centurion and Tor International--have provided much of the security training for journalists. But today civilian experts are taking a more prominent role in preparing journalists for risks that are particular to the field, including the threat of sexual aggression on the job.
Melissa Soalt is one. "Predators will often test you first," said Soalt, an independent self-defense expert who specializes in training women. "So women must maintain their physical space through body language, demeanor, and even tone of voice."
Properly addressing the aftermath of a sexual assault, when trauma may set in, is very important as well. Among news organizations, there is increasing awareness of the need to provide stress and trauma management to staffers. The Associated Press has done exemplary work in developing procedures to help manage stress, according to trauma experts. "We make every effort to calibrate our response to our employees' reactions to covering violent or difficult situations," Santiago Lyon, AP's director of photography, told CPJ. "We seek out leaders in the field of trauma separately to that end."
Covering the news, of course, requires constant adjustment to ever-changing events. New organizations are learning that the security of their journalists also depends on understanding and adjusting to evolving threats.

Sony Creative Software Sound Forge Pro 10 Review
FIG. 1: Sony Creative Software Sound Forge 10''s new event-based editing can be used quite effectively in the multichannel audio window, where you can create events from within files and drag them into other tracks.
Sony Creative Software's Sound Forge Pro multichannel audio editor has reached the major milestone of Version 10. Long one of the most popular and full-featured Windows audio applications, the new update receives a number of obvious enhancements and even more that are under the hood. Among the major additions are event-based editing; built-in CD authoring and burning; support for DLS, GIG and SF2 file formats; and new high-end plug-ins such as iZotope's Mastering Effects Bundle and 64-bit SRC and MBIT+ dithering effects. Combined, these features move Sound Forge Pro ever closer to a full-blown audio production workstation.
We reviewed Sound Forge 9 in the October 2007 issue, so have a look at that review (available online at emusician.com/editing/emusic_sony_creative_software_sound_forge_9) if you haven't been following the development of the program. This review will focus primarily on the new features in V. 10.
Main Event
Sound Forge Pro 10's most significant update is event-based editing. This feature allows you to have multiple independent clips of audio on a track and move them around as needed. Events can be selected and dragged or copied to a new location with automatic, adjustable crossfades applied, or you can add an effect to or process just a single snippet. You can also apply simple envelopes (ASR only, but with variable curves) with just a few clicks. It's easy to split a long file into any number of events, or you can drag an event onto the workspace to create a new file.
Event-based editing gives the program a huge boost in flexibility. Working in Sound Forge's multichannel environment (see Fig. 1), which was introduced in Sound Forge 9, I was able to load multiple files and view them simultaneously, then create events from different files and drag them to a new file to create a composite track. In older versions, this type of work would require numerous copy-and-paste operations, often using trial and error to find the correct location within the destination file. You can copy a mono file to one or both tracks of a stereo file, yet you can't simply drag and drop an event if it has a sample rate different from that of your intended destination and retain the original tempo. This requires resampling the source clip to play at the correct speed.
In addition to creating events manually, Sound Forge will create an event automatically if you simply highlight a region of a file and apply an effect or process to it. At that point, you can either move the event to a new location or leave it in place, and the entire file will play back seamlessly.
Sound Forge doesn't support recording multiple tracks of audio simultaneously, and it couldn't be described as a true DAW. Yet editing and manipulating events in the multichannel window really gives you the feel of working in a multitrack environment, and the program is now suitable for many mixing chores.
Bend and Stretch
Another new addition is zplane's élastique Pro time-stretch and pitch-shift plug-in, which is found in several other popular programs (Ableton Live and Native Instruments Traktor, for example). This plug-in supports stretching from one-tenth to 10 times a selection's original length, and it lets you specify the new length as a ratio, a new tempo (BPM) or an exact time (showing old time vs. new). It also supports pitch-shifting up to two octaves in either direction with an option to preserve formants or have them shift according to the shift amount. For time-stretching, I particularly liked the sound of élastique Pro on vocal material (see Web Clips 1 and 2 for audio examples and the Online Bonus Material for a comparison of élastique and two freeware time-stretching programs). Two of élastique Pro's Stretch modes use transient perseveration, while two do not, so you can choose which option works best for your material.
You won't find many other additions to the Effects or Processes menu in V. 10, but there's a new resonant filter that has a lot of potential. I prefer to use dedicated software such as GRM Tools for most of my filtering needs, but this effect sounds really great. It offers a choice of low/band/highpass options plus adjustable frequency, resonance and wet/dry balance (see Web Clip 3). Sound Forge also now sports high-quality bit and sample-rate conversion via iZotope's tools for those purposes. I do a lot of work using direct sound synthesis in Csound, a software-synthesis programming language, and I appreciate Sound Forge's ability to convert my digitally generated 24-bit files to CD-ready, 16-bit resolution. These converters will also come in handy if you're recording at high sample and bit rates or if you generate a lot of high-resolution audio with soft synths.
FIG. 2: Sound Forge Pro''s support for DLS, GIG and SF2 files means you can tweak your sample libraries directly within the program. Shown here is a cello sample from the Miroslav Vitous Mini Library.
Get the GIG
I have a ton of Tascam GigaSampler GIG files on my hard drive that have mostly gone unused since the demise of that program, but Sound Forge now gives them new life. In Fig. 2, you can see the interface that opens when you load a GIG file; the one here is a set of cello samples from the Miroslav Vitous Mini Library. You can't replace individual samples by dragging and dropping a replacement from the Explorer window, but you can easily add an effect or process to one or more samples or save a single sample to a new file. You also get a full hierarchical view of all the components in your sample bank, although you can't edit any of that information.
A number of improvements to the interface should make your workflow more efficient. For example, the new tabbed window-browsing feature really helps organize your workspace, especially when you have multiple windows open. You can now create and save a different custom window layout for each of the main types of projects you work on. There's also a new option to show an adjustable number of grid lines overlaid on top of a highlighted selection, which is particularly handy if you do a lot of work with loops.
Sony has included a number of new interactive tutorials that should make learning Sound Forge easier. The tutorials run directly from within the program's interface, and they cover a variety of topics including applying an effect and burning a CD. These do a nice job of walking you through each step of the process, but they don't get very deep or cover advanced topics. I hope this series will continue and that more high-end features — for example, working with Sound Forge's excellent Acoustic Modeler convolution effect — will be added.
I've been a Sound Forge user for many years, and the program has always been one of the most stable and reliable applications I've owned. I've also had good success running this on my Mac under Boot Camp. I'd be hard-pressed to recall any time where it crashed or failed to perform as expected. Version 10 adds even more features to an already rich and mature program, and if you haven't upgraded recently, now may be a good time. Even if you own Sound Forge 9, you might find that there are enough enhancements to compel you to upgrade. Check out the demo at Sony's Website to see if the new features suit your needs.

The foods that most commonly cause symptoms of heartburn include:
Acidic foods, such as:
- Citrus foods, like oranges, grapefruits, and their juices
- Tomatoes and tomato products
- Fatty or greasy foods
- Chocolates
- Spicy foods
- Alcohol
- Caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, soda, or tea
- Some herbal products, like peppermint tea
Try to avoid the following:
- Eating within a few hours of your bedtime
- Lying down after you eat
- Overeating—consider eating smaller, more frequent meals spaced over the course of the day
If you are overweight, losing weight can reduce pressure on the LES, which can help relieve symptoms.
Smoking aggravates heartburn symptoms by increasing acid production and relaxing the LES. It also greatly increases your risk of esophageal cancer (especially when combined with alcohol). Talk to your doctor about how you can successfully quit.
If you have problems controlling symptoms with lifestyle changes, or you have heartburn at least 2 days per week, make an appointment with your doctor. Although most digestive conditions that cause heartburn are easily treated, ignoring symptoms can result in serious complications.

It's often rumored that housing conditions in certain single-room occupancy hotels, or SROs, throughout San Francisco are atrocious. And when it comes to SROs under ownership of one family in particular, a lawsuit filed today by City Attorney Dennis Herrera now alleges not only that conditions are unhealthy and inhospitable – they're also illegal.
Hotel owners, managers and operators Balvantsinh "Bill" Thakor, his wife Lataben B. Thakor, and their sons Kiransinh and Bahavasinh Thakor are all named in Herrera's suit, which alleges that the business owners are renting uninhabitable residential rooms to vulnerable occupants, depriving SRO occupants of tenancy rights, maintaining public nuisances, doing construction work without required permits or contractors' licenses, and making false claims for payment from the city.
The SRO owners hold contracts with the city. Herrera's complaint alleges that taxpayer dollars are flowing into the hands of landlords who have allowed their properties to remain moldy, rodent-infested, and unsafe to occupants who are too poor to seek out other options.
We left a message for Balvantsihn "Bill" Thakor and will update this post if we receive a response.
Under the city contracts, homeless people who are pulled off the street by the Department of Public Health's Homeless Outreach Team are temporarily placed in stabilization beds in SROs under the Thakor's ownership. DPH rents out blocks of rooms to provide this temporary transitional housing, while low-income residents may live permanently in other units in the same buildings under their own private arrangements.
"San Francisco's response to our affordable housing crisis must include aggressively protecting our most vulnerable residents — and that's exactly what this case is about," said Herrera. "The Thakor family has exploited low‐income residents by denying them tenancy rights. They've defiantly thumbed their noses at city inspectors over pervasive code violations, which endanger residents and neighbors alike. And they've billed taxpayers for providing clients of city programs with 'clean, safe, habitable' housing, when it was anything but clean, safe, or habitable."
A litany of charges in Herrera's complaint gives an idea of what conditions in some of these properties are like: "[Health and safety code violations include] rampant cockroach and bedbug infestations, failure to provide adequate fire protection and safety, failure to provide adequate security, failure to provide plumbing adequate to avoid repeated sewage leaks, failure to provide safe and functional wiring, failure to provide residential rooms and bathrooms free of mold and mildew, and failure to provide adequate heat."
City Attorney spokesperson Matt Dorsey noted that there had been a host of health and building code violations issued against the hotel operators, but that fines and notices of violation still had not resulted in necessary repairs. With all administrative avenues exhausted, the city is now moving forward with a lawsuit.
"With litigation," Dorsey said, "we have the ability to bring a level of fear that the administrative process cannot."
Meanwhile, a quick search for court records revealed that this isn't the first time Balvantsinh "Bill" Thakor has been named in a lawsuit brought by the City Attorney against SRO hotel owners.
In 2002, records show, then-City Attorney Louise Renne named him along with a host of other defendants in a suit relating to the ownership and operation of the Warfield Hotel, a 63-unit Tenderloin SRO where defendants had allegedly "failed to correct life-safety hazards … thereby forcing residents to live in substandard conditions in violation of applicable state and local housing laws." According to this 2003 editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle, that particular SRO later went "from horrible to habitable."
But even back then, Thakor was described in the Chronicle as "not known for his quick response to code violations." All of which begs the question: With such a terrible track record, how do these hotel owners manage to land city contracts?

SOMERS, Wis. – For the second season in a row following the conference championships, the UMBC men's swimming and diving team has received a national ranking, slotting No. 23 in the latest CollegeSwimming.com poll, the organization announced on Monday.
SEC champion Florida (1013.41) leads the poll while Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) champion University of the Incarnate Word (951.04), who edged the Retrievers, 886-844, over the weekend, ranks 15th. UMBC received 934.00 points, just behind N.C. State (934.30), but ahead of Harvard (933.11).
"We had excellent performances at the CCSA Championships which set us up for this opportunity," said head coach Chad Cradock. "We swam well and received a full-team effort to achieve this."
Over the course of the four-day meet in Knoxville, Tenn., UMBC swimmers broke 12 of 20 school records while Cradock was named the CCSA Male Swimming Coach of the Year. Diving coach Petar Trifonov earned the Male Diving Coach of the Year award after his divers combined for a sweep of the two events. During the dual meet season, the Retriever men posted a 5-2 record which included wins over George Washington and Old Dominion.
Senior Mohamed Hussein (Cairo, Egypt/Victory College) won two individual golds and one individual silver, achieving NCAA "B" cuts in each event, to go with three individual school records at the championship meet. In addition, he won two relay gold medals while aiding the Retrievers to five new program marks and was named the CCSA Most Outstanding Male Swimmer of the Meet.
On the diving boards, junior Ryan Green (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) took the top spot in the 3-meter competition while finishing behind only teammate Carson Wong (Hong Kong/Kowloon Technical School) in the 1-meter event to take home the Most Outstanding Male Diver of the Meet honor. Green, Wong, and senior Tim Perkins (Frederick, Md./Tuscarora) will all represent UMBC at the NCAA Zones meet to be held by Virginia Tech on March 10-12.

The American Way of Eating
What if you can't afford nine-dollar tomatoes? That was the question award-winning journalist Tracie McMillan couldn't escape as she watched the debate about America's meals unfold, one that urges us to pay food's true cost-which is to say, pay more. So in 2009 McMillan embarked on a groundbreaking undercover journey to see what it takes to eat well in America. For nearly a year, she worked, ate, and lived alongside the working poor to examine how Americans eat when price matters.
From the fields of California, a Walmart produce aisle outside of Detroit, and the kitchen of a New York City Applebee's, McMillan takes us into the heart of America's meals. With startling intimacy she portrays the lives and food of Mexican garlic crews, Midwestern produce managers, and Caribbean line cooks, while also chronicling her own attempts to live and eat on meager wages. Along the way, she asked the questions still facing America a decade after the declaration of an obesity epidemic: Why do we eat the way we do? And how can we change it? To find out, McMillan goes beyond the food on her plate to examine the national priorities that put it there. With her absorbing blend of riveting narrative and formidable investigative reporting, McMillan takes us from dusty fields to clanging restaurant kitchens, linking her work to the quality of our meals-and always placing her observations in the context of America's approach not just to farms and kitchens but to wages and work. The surprising answers that McMillan found on her journey have profound implications for our food and agriculture, and also for how we see ourselves as a nation. Through stunning reportage, Tracie McMillan makes the simple case that-city or country, rich or poor-everyone wants good food.
Fearlessly reported and beautifully written, The American Way of Eating goes beyond statistics and culture wars to deliver a book that is fiercely intelligent and compulsively readable. Talking about dinner will never be the same again.

Good content, bad medium
Would you try another book written by Tracie McMillan or narrated by Hillary Huber?
I would try another book written by Tracie McMillan.I would not try another book narrated by Hillary Huber (see below).
Who was your favorite character and why?
Not relevant to my review.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The tone of the reader was detached from and often opposite to the content of the book. The book critiques aspects of the food industry yet the narration sounded like a lively radio voice. The best examples may be several cases where something negative is being said about Wal-Mart but the narrator pronounces the company's name with such gusto you would think it's a commercial.
What character would you cut from The American Way of Eating?
This questions adds no value. It's the author's book for her to publish, not mine to edit.
Any additional comments?
Is there a volume control on the web player? I can't find it.

A bit disappointing
I was browsing through audible and came across the "American Way of Eating" by Tracie McMillan and narrated by Hilary Huber. What caught my attention was this idea of why it is so difficult for so many Americans to eat well. In her book she describes how she takes on a series of unskilled jobs from farm to plate – laboring as a farmhand where she picked grapes, sorted garlic, onions and peaches and later cut garlic. Then she goes on to stock shelves at Wal-Mart and finally works as an expeditor at Applebee's.
I am always interested in the invisible members of society and to that end I can say Hilary Huber does a wonderful job bringing this story to life. In the field there are some interesting stories about how people are living and what people are eating. Then after she leaves the fields we rather lose that perspective instead it mostly about take home pay and what she encounters at work.
Unfortunately the point of her book was supposed to be more about why it is so difficult for American's to eat well. By the end of her book I could not really see the connection between the work she did and people's food choices. I know what it is like to wake up and work in a crappy job all while trying to make ends meet. I know how hard it is to figure out how to pay for the basic necessities of life and while I have always chosen to buy whole food instead of fast or convenience food – her story made it seem like this is not an option.
I think I am disappointed in this book because I wanted more about social change, people making different conscious efforts to support a better food structure. I wanted more time in the fields to see how they did eat and more in depth stories about their health that kind of thing.
So for me the book missed its own mark. I think it was entertaining though just not sure if it is really all that informative.

Interesting Story, Great Narration
This book was a little slow and sometimes felt a little scattered, but overall I found the information to be pretty interesting. I liked narrator Hillary Huber's voice a lot, and it really seemed to fit the author. The style came across as very conversational, and it very much felt like the author was just relating her story to me in a casual and entertaining way.

Great Storytelling!
I am familiar with how it can be disturbing to go behind the kitchen of modern food processing in America, so I was a bit hesitant about this book, not wanting to hear another horror account. Yet I was pleasantly surprised. While disturbing realities are revealed, they are presented in such a way that I did not have nightmares. Rather, this is a journey of beautiful storytelling of one journalist's quest to answer the question of why healthy food is so hard to get and how it got to be that way in America.
The narrator does a splendid job of communicating the intonation, the inflection, and the story the author wanted to share in a way that makes her book an easy-listen.

Gringa Whines
I was really hoping for more in "The American Way of Eating", but it was written in the wrong format. Instead of being in the documentary style, where information is the key, Tracie McMillan tells her story about trying to get labor work in the fields, being a stock boy at Walmart, and working in a kitchen at Apple Bee's. Her experiences gets in the way from the objective for the book because she whines a lot of being under pay, too much work, and working the night shift.
This book fails in many ways. I was looking for information about food, but instead I got a cry story about a Gringa that whines about her job. If you take out the facts about food, you are just getting another story of a person's struggle.
Read "Eating Animals" and "Fast Food Nation", if you want to know more about what we eat. If you want to know more about the meat packing industry, there is no classic better than "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. If you want to know more about what is like working at a restaurant and what its like being a waiter, "Waiter Rant" will be your best choice.
As for "The American Way of Eating", there are enough substance to keep you informed, but it's like watching an episode of Undercover Boss, where it's so much work for the boss and they can't keep up with the workers.

Important story. New perspective.
Would you listen to The American Way of Eating again? Why?
I did listen twice to pick up what I missed the first time around.
What did you like best about this story?
The story is important. I learned that the food I eat is harvested by people who are oppressed and as the food moves along the chain, the people that handle the food are only slightly less oppressed. It doesn't matter whether I buy garlic at Whole Foods or Walmart, the garlic harvesters suffer greatly in their work. The story makes me sad and also made me learn how extremely complicated the situation is. I thought I knew about these things.
What does Hillary Huber bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
Hillary Huber's voice sounded like you would expect the author to sound, so it felt like a first person account.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I frequently think of the boy who damaged his thumb picking peas and the boy who accompanied his mother picking grapes and selling food to the workers. My children don't know how blessed they are.
Any additional comments?
There are many complicated problems related to America's food supply. Food here is so abundant that our poor people are obese. There are other costs to the abundance.

Making healthy food affordable to every American
This is an overlooked topic that deserves attention. We need to eat healthier and need to know how to do that for all ages. Schools need home ec and cooking back in schools instead of cutting electives. I wished the author were able to go under cover with the seed suppliers, farmers and in the suburbs. Thanks to the author for uncovering some of what happens behind the scenes!

This book was excellent. Incredibly interesting content coupled with a reader whose voice was soothing, made for an excellent experience.

Too broad an overview; nothing new to read here
Would you try another book from Tracie McMillan and/or Hillary Huber?
Yes from the narrator Hillary Huber
What was most disappointing about Tracie McMillan's story?
The book read more like a news report with little depth of description.
What does Hillary Huber bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
Hearing live speech always makes a reading more interesting when it is done well
What character would you cut from The American Way of Eating?
There were too many characters to single one out
Any additional comments?
While interesting to a point, the central theme is that one cannot afford to live well on minimum wage or less. No kidding, really? At times the read is very sad and inspires you to want to act in some manner but the truth of business is profits before people.

Sincere story with insincere voice
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have just listened to the book for 10 minutes. It seems like a very sincere and intelligent storytelling which I like very much. But the narrator's voice has such a sneer in it that I need to constantly fight the distraction. I'd really love a more proper voice to go with the book.

Knowing that the students have already undergone numerous literacy lessons, practice questions, and other test preparation activities, I found myself reluctant to provide a list of tips for success. In the end I decided to make a short video to highlight some of the realities of the test. My hope is to bring a little bit of levity to a high stakes assessment experience, that seems to be wearing on teachers and students alike.
By leveraging Creative Commons content produced by the Peach open movie project, I created a metaphor that I hope will resonate with my audience.

Politician aims to protect children with new legislation on ice cream truck vendors
Would keep sex offenders, traffic offenders from operating ice cream trucks
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – When ice cream trucks drive through town, sometimes children are allowed to head out to the truck without adult supervision. One local politician says he is creating a law to help protect those kids.
Citizens in a Clay County neighborhood were recently outraged when they heard Jackie Hall, a convicted sex offender, was making plans to own and operate an ice cream truck.
After hearing about Hall's attempt to operate an ice cream truck, City Councilman Don Redman drafted legislation to limit the type of people who can run or own ice cream trucks in Duval County.
"These are criminals who do not need to be perpetually tempted or given the opportunity to get around our children. It's absurd," said Redman.
Redman's legislation will require people looking to buy or run an ice cream truck to get a permit from the city that would only be available after a background check.
Redman's legislation would also take regulation of ice cream truck operators one step further. Not only would it outlaw registered or convicted sex offenders or predators from the vocation, it would also rule out habitual traffic violators, those with reckless driving or DUI convictions in 3 years or more than three total convictions.
Redman said child safety encompasses more than sexual predators.
"I have grandchildren. I don't want them in harms way," said Redman. "Especially not when they are after something innocent like ice cream."
The new ordinance will not apply to food trucks in the city. The ice cream truck ordinance will be on the City Council's agenda on Jan. 22.
