...More than a catalog of meals, Pork & Sons tells the story of a community bound together by its passion for pork. It can be navigated with the help of an index, but unlike most standard cookbooks, it can also be appreciated as a narrative by reading front-to-back, letting the flavors and insights unfold over the course of 13 chapters. The pages are peppered with dozens of photographs of the region and its people, and with playful cartoons drawn by Reynaud's close friend, José Reis de Matos. The visuals complement the chatty, engaging voice of the author...
...account, the HMC is potentially shorting shares of some of the companies in question (PetroChina, Sinopec, Petronas).

University spokesman John D. Longbrake said last month, before the students began collecting...
...leaned together on one side of the investment boat. When the boat became totally imbalanced it was enough for only a small wave-initially, the mere rumor of regulatory changes designed to cool China's stock fever-to sink the ship. On Feb. 27, China's main stock index fell 8.8%. Because of the huge leverage and increased computer trading that characterize modern finance, this sell-off triggered sharp declines in other markets from Russia to Malaysia, Japan...
