WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama has nominated the sister of National Public Radio legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg (TOH'-ten-burgh) for a federal judgeship.

Obama on Wednesday tapped Amy Totenberg for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. She has been in private practice and has served as an arbitrator in Atlanta since 2000.

Ah, what happened to the “proudly hitting hit without looking at the picture” tagline?

Interesting to note with the pronunciation thing that “Tot’’ in German means ‘’dead’’.

Interesting, indeed. "Toten" should be the plural form. "Berg" appears to mean "mountain". So, "Totenberg" literally translates to "mountain of the dead" or "dead mountain". (/BabelFish)
