Soundtrack Pro 2.0.1
Sound editors and video editors—the humans, not the software—often seem to live in different worlds. The latest version of Apple's Soundtrack Pro, version 2.0.1, part of Final Cut Studio 2.0.1, seeks to bridge some of those divisions, at least within the suite's workflows. Enhanced recording tools aid dialogue and Foley recording (which includes sound effects and incidental sound), and a new audio Conform facility promises to make reconciling video and audio edits easier. New pro audio features also cater to video production, making it easier to match audio recorded in different locations and to manage surround sound. The challenge for Soundtrack Pro 2 is balancing interface simplicity and the dual demands of video and audio production. Prosumer to pro to more pro Soundtrack Pro has gone through some major transformations, in both features and user expectations, in its four years of existence.

A full house for HomeFront
The nonprofit began in 1990 when executive director Connie Mercer was informed of the many homeless families living out of motel rooms in the area. She and several friends began preparing hot meals for them, as well as providing recreation for children and transportation for adults to doctor’s appointments and job training. The organization officially became known as HomeFront in 1998. Laura Trzasko, development assistant for HomeFront, came up with the idea of merging poker with charity. "I really wanted to plan an event," says the 22-year-old Plainsboro resident, who joined HomeFront six months ago. "Poker is very popular right now," Ms. Trzasko says. "I feel like you can’t miss it when it’s always on ESPN." .
