The Wanderers, a teenage gang in the Bronx of the early 1960s, are just trying to stay alive - and maybe have a little sex. But it's not going to be easy. They're facing murderous parents, unimpressed girls, an all-Chinese gang and a pack of mute Irish maniacs, apathetic teachers, and a ten-year-old cold-blooded killer.

The Glycemic Matrix combines the glycemic index with glycemic density (glycemic load in a gram of food). This maximizes hunger satisfaction while minimizing glycemic impact! The glycemic index measures how rapidly carbohydrate foods are digested, converted to glucose, and cause blood sugars to rise. Lower glycemic index foods satisfy hunger for a longer period of time. The glycemic density adds the weight volume of the food as a consideration. Decreasing the glycemic index and increasing the weight volume of a serving is a powerful new way to manage both our weight and blood sugar levels.

Award-winning author Richard Price here offers a viscerally affecting and accomplished portrait of inner-city America. Veteran homicide detective Rocco Klein's passion for the job gave way long ago. His beat is a rough New Jersey neighborhood where the drug murders blur together, until the day Victor Dunham — a twenty-year-old with a steady job and a clean record — confesses to a shooting outside a fast-food joint. It doesn't take long for Rocco's attention to turn to Victor's brother, a street-corner crack dealer named Strike who seems a more likely suspect for the crime. At once an intense mystery, and a revealing study of two men on opposite sides of an unwinnable war, Clockers is a stunningly well-rendered chronicle of modern life on the streets.
