"Disgustingly good," was Stoudamire, said fellow senior Channing Frye, who scored 15 points and added 11 rebounds.

This includes the quixotic group of current and former students that are seeking to solve the state's higher-education funding problems through litigation. This week the plaintiffs, led by former UA student and former state Rep. John Kromko, made their case once again. They argue that because the Arizona Constitution requires all state educational institutions to be "as nearly free as possible," last year's tuition increase was illegal. A state trial judge threw the case out a year ago, but Kromko and associates have moved up to the court of appeals.

It's a blogger'svirtualworld?and we livejust on theedgeof it. 42 1 World Literature Today sk a foodie (see below)what's on his or her reading list thesedays, and more likely thannot theanswers are going toend indot-com. Or else they'llhave started out thatway?as online sensations turnedprint best-sellers. In less thana decade, with the wellsprings of traditional media sputtering,foodblogs have begun to spoutwith restaurant news and reviews, recipes, and mouthwatering photos (literal cheesecake shots, you might say) to thepoint ofbecoming an integralpart of the foodmedia. Some more than others, granted. Like the five-year-old Chocolate & Zucchini?whose creator, a twenty-somethingParisian named Clotilde Dusoulier, now has two tomes under her assez chicbelt and thousands upon thousands of readers in two languages. Like theJulie/JuliaProject?one of the firstand best "cook-through blogs," in which JuliePowell details the triumphsand travailsofpreparing one recipe fromJuliaChild's Mastering the Art ofFrenchCookingdaily over thecourse of a year (amovie adaptation will be coming to a theaternear you in 2009, directed byNora Ephron and starring Meryl Streep). Like Waiter Rant, Steve Dublanica's account of lifeon thedinner shift?now snarky,now philosophical, and now a smash memoir.1 And unlike, say,me. I'm the author of a rathermodestly trafficked blog about theDenver dining scene,which I launched to jumpstarta freelance food-writingcareer thatcame toa shuddering haltwhen Imoved west fromBoston at theonset of therecession lastyear. I call it Denveater?a somewhat precious portmanteau, tobe sure (all the more in my dreams,where I turn"www" upside down to spell "mmm!"), but I'm stuckwith itnow. In most other respects, however, I'm freer than I've ever been, and not just because I don't have editors peering over my shoulder. Mind you, that's a key perk. As Lauren Clark ofDrinkboston.com puts it,"I don't have to tailor my ideas to appeal to [their]caprices"; concurs Leena Trivedi-Grenier?the Chicago-based author of both Leenaeats.com and a thesis on food-blog usage in theU.S., for which she received anM. A. inGastronomy at theUniversity ofAdelaide?"No one's thereto change the titleofmy post to some silly,cheesy, catchy thingthathas nothing at all todo with the writing; no one is telling me, 'This is too provocative' orThat doesn't follow the style of thepublication.'" But our sense of freedom has arguablymore todo with thenature of the Internetitself:as theblogosphere is infinite,so theprescribed limitsof the food writing genre are expanding to thevanishing point inall sortsof ways?some inspirational, others controversial, not only forme andmy cohortsbut also fortheestablished foodmedia and even for chefs, restaurateurs, and other industry pros. For one thing, in cyberspace, no one yet everyone can hear you scream.Much as blogs have evolved in thepast tenyears (Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary dates the coinage of the word to 1999),most remain fundamentally true to theiretymo logical roots as weblogs?personal journals that,though public, are not so much actively circulated as free-floating. While the X-villeDaily exists above all for X-villeans, landing on theirdoor steps and stacked at nearby kiosks, vittlesinxville.typepad.com may or may not reach them?any more than itmay or may not appeal tosomeone inY-town. Readership is incidental if not acci dental, dependent on the luckof thedraw that isGoogling?just as authorship per se ranges from professional to ambivalent to downright oblivious. In researching this piece, I created a thread on my favorite discussion board, Chowhound.com, titled "Calling All Bloggers: Why Do You Do It?"2One respondent, "Foodie" isa vexed term intheworld of online food lovers, as Atlanta Journal-Constitution reviewerJohnKessler detailed ina recentcolumn: "At first, Ms. Foodie seemed a pleasant enough rejoinderto the dour, effeteMr. Gourmet. . .chirping merrily about anything . . .
