Editor's note: 24 Hawkeyes to Watch is a feature released Thursday, July 28, highlighting one athlete from each of the 24 intercollegiate sports offered by the University of Iowa. More than 700 talented student-athletes are currently busy preparing for the 2011-12 athletics year at the UI. Hawkeyesports.com will introduce you to 24 Hawkeyes who, for one reason or another, are poised to play a prominent role in the intercollegiate athletics program at the UI in the coming year.
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The light came on and everything came together for University of Iowa women's golfer Chelsea Harris leading into her final spring with the Hawkeyes in 2012. Now she's playing the best golf of her career.
"I told coach (UI head coach Megan Menzel) something clicked this semester, and I wish I would have realized it earlier," said Harris, the lone senior on the UI roster. "It is about taking it one shot at a time. It's so easy to say and you hear it all the time, but to implement it into your game and your approach is another thing.
"If you put all your effort into one shot and then walk up to that next one and do it again, the round goes by so much easier and faster. It's amazing how much the mental aspects can help your game. My mental game has been so much better this year and it has shown."
That approach has led to Harris posting three top-15 finishes during the spring season, which includes a runner-up showing at the Saluki Invitational on March 25-26 in Carbondale, Ill. She carded a four-over par 148 (72-76) in the 36-hole tournament to tally the best finish of her collegiate career.
"On paper, she has had a great spring, and she's had some of her best finishes, which has been really great to see," said Menzel. "Her attitude and approach to the game every single day has allowed her to be so consistent.
"She has grown in the mental aspects of the game. She goes out very calmly and approaches each shot one at a time, all the way through her putting. She's having a lot of confidence in herself and believing that she can play well."
Harris credits her grandfather and father with introducing her to the game. Her grandfather gave her a cut down set of his old clubs when she was four or five years old, and her dad signed her up for a "Hook a Kid on Golf" program, which resulted in her first set of TaylorMade irons.
Even though she started playing at a young age, Harris didn't know whether she wanted to play college basketball or golf when she was in the early stages of high school at Normal (Ill.) Community. After focusing mainly on basketball in junior high, she settled on golf.
"I was decent at golf and was decent at basketball too, so it was a toss-up," said Harris. "I didn't know if I wanted to play DII basketball or DI golf. I love golf so much -- it's my passion -- so I decided golf was the way to go."
Harris immediately stepped into the Iowa lineup as a freshman after leading the Pioneers to three state championships and being a three-time all-conference and a two-time most valuable player and conference champion.
She posted an 81.3 scoring average over 31 rounds in her first season, and that average has improved every year since. She posted a 77.6 average as a sophomore, a 77.1 mark as a junior and currently has a career-low 76.43 average over 23 rounds this season.
The key to Harris' improvement is the result of the work she put in around the greens.
"My short game has improved so much," she said. "I came here with a pretty good swing. I have always had a good swing, been a great ball-striker, but that only gets you so far in college golf. I really needed to crack down on my short game.
"My wedges are a lot better. I can always expect a birdie opportunity inside 120 yards, and now I am confident enough that I can make that putt."
One of the reasons that Harris' confidence with her putter has risen can be traced back to her recent move to the belly putter.
"I switched to a long putter last year, and aside from all the jokes and comments that I get, it has been a good asset to my bag," said Harris.
Harris has been a valuable piece to Menzel's rebuilding effort since the first-year coach took over in August. Harris is the only senior on a seven-player squad that includes four underclassmen.
"Her no-nonsense approach to things has been really good," said Menzel. "She's great at setting a good tone every day and is not afraid to lead by example. She also has a strong attitude and reminds us what are goals are day-in and day-out."
Harris says she tries to provide an example for her teammates to follow.
"I try to lead by example, work hard and play as well as I can to try to better the program," she said. "I hope everyone goes at it the same way I do and tries to give 100 percent every day, one and off the golf course."
Harris hopes that the Hawkeyes can put it all together over the final month of the season, and after she graduates in May with a degree in recreation management she has her sights set on qualifying school and playing on the Futures Tour.
"I want to leave this season feeling good about my career," said Harris. "I would love to make it to NCAA regionals, so I hope we can come together these last few tournaments and make it happen. I want to leave here and feel like I did something positive for the program and made an impact on the underclassmen.
Menzel is fortunate to have the opportunity to have a senior like Harris during her first season with the Hawkeyes.
"Chelsea has continued to get better, and she'll leave here as one of the strongest players in Iowa women's golf history," she said. "I can learn a lot from her as a coach, and hopefully, she's been able to learn from me as well. I am excited that she has been having such a successful senior season, and it will do a lot for us in the future."

Author and illustrator Sally Kindberg reports from Wordplay's tenth birthday
Day One
Two taxis, a train and three planes later – it should have only been two planes, but there was a 'maintenance problem' – and I eventually arrived in Lerwick, the capital of Shetland, 170 kilometres north of mainland Scotland. I was there to take part in the tenth Wordplay Book Festival, running drawing workshops and promoting a new omnibus edition of three Bloomsbury comic strip books. Charming author and curator Donald S. Murray met me at the capital's tiny airport and drove me to my hotel, telling me all sorts of weird and wonderful stories along the way. I now know how to make gannet pie, but probably won't.
Day Two
Islanders are storytellers, and Wordplay was full of them. The next morning at breakfast Jonathan Meades, in a tangerine coloured shirt, discussed the merits of Stornaway black pudding with ex Oz and Time Out editor Roger Hutchinson, who was here to talk about his new book, the true story of Uist islander Angus MacPhee, artist extraordinaire who spent fifty years in an asylum weaving hats and shoes from marram grass and flowers. Later at the Islesburgh Community Centre (Wordplay H.Q), I listened to Simon Armitage read beautifully, tapping his foot to the rhythms of his poetry, his broad face impassive under the almost-Beatle hairstyle. He told us about his ambitions to be a rock star when he was a young man – "or at least, a contender" – and apologised to the treeless Shetland islanders when he read his poem "Redwood". That evening there was a reception and buffet. Exhausted (my Space comic strip workshop was very busy) but happy, I overheard a smiling Orcadian poet say: "There'll be instruments later". Sadly I never discovered what they were, because I fell asleep at my hotel at 9.30 p.m.
Day Three
Astonishingly bright weather. As I was setting up my workshop in Room Ten, I got chatting with a woman sitting at one of the drawing tables and making up her face (turquoise eyeshadow). We had a chat about the pros and cons of doing one's face in public, and I suddenly realised it was Liz Lochhead, National Poet of Scotland, about to be interviewed. I missed this as it coincided with my next comic strip event, but managed to squeeze into a packed hall for James Naughtie's event afterwards. He talked about the importance of the psychology of politics, the fascination of human interaction, and related brilliant anecdotes about, for instance, the ex-Stasi spymaster who wanted to sell his cookbook after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Peter Mandelson changing his trousers during a BBC radio interview.
Later still, in the green room (aka Room Nine), we were given tiny boxes of birthday cake to celebrate Wordplay's tenth birthday. Mine got a bit soggy in a downpour on the way back to my hotel, but it's going to be one of my treasures. Unless I get peckish on the long journey back to London of course.
Sally Kindberg is an author and illustrator who also runs drawing workshops for both adults and children. Her The Comic Strip Book Big Fat Book of Knowledge is out now. See more at www.sallykindberg.co.uk

Asthma Health Center
Pregnancy and Asthma
In this article
Just because you have asthma doesn't mean that you can't have a healthy pregnancy. But you have to keep your asthma in control. According to the American Lung Association, about a third of pregnant women with asthma will find their asthma symptoms improve during pregnancy, a third will have worse asthma, and a third will have stable disease symptoms.
What if My Asthma Isn't Well Controlled During Pregnancy?
If you do not keep your asthma under control during your pregnancy, you may have less oxygen delivered to your blood. It is very important to keep your asthma under control during your pregnancy, because the developing fetus receives oxygen from the mother's blood. Having good control of asthma also improves the risk for pregnancy complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, and preeclampsia (dangerously high blood pressure during pregnancy).
Can I Continue to Take Asthma Medicine During Pregnancy?
Several scientific studies have shown that if you do not control your asthma properly during pregnancy, you are much more likely to harm both yourself and your baby than if you use appropriate drugs to control your asthma.
If you are using an asthma inhaler, studies of its safety during pregnancy have been reassuring. In addition, the risk for asthma attacks decreases and lung function is improved with treatment.
If you take oral medications to control your asthma, you may want to talk to your doctor about a change to your regimen since there is not as much evidence on safety.
If you already receive allergy shots, you can safely continue to do so. However, they should not be initiated during pregnancy.
The most appropriate thing to do is to talk to your doctor, who will look at how severe your asthma is and what treatment is appropriate for you while you're pregnant.
How Can I Reduce Asthma's Impact on my Baby?
Good asthma control is the key to a successful pregnancy. To lessen the impact of your condition on your unborn baby:
- Have an asthma plan. Work with your asthma doctor to determine the right kind and quantity of asthma medication for you to take.
- Recognize your asthma triggers. Keep a diary of what triggers the worsening of your asthma and find ways to avoid those triggers.
- Receive coordinated care. Make sure your asthma doctor and your pregnancy provider coordinate your care.

SlingPlayer Mobile updated for Windows Mobile and Symbian
Sling Media has just made the updates for SlingPlayer Mobile available at their web site for those running the Windows Mobile for Pocket PC and Smartphone OS, as well as for the Symbian OS. No detailed description containing the changes made by the update have been made available yet, but expect it to have minor improvements over the old version.
Now SlingPlayer for Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone are on version 1.6, while SlingPlayer for Symbian is now rocking version 1.1. However, the SlingPlayer for Palm has not received any updates as of this time's writing, and there is no word on when (or if it will ever come) it will come for Palm.
The updated software also adds support for a few new devices, which are the Nokia N95 8GB, Treo 500v, and the Samsung i760.
The updated software will be free to download as long as you are already a certified subscriber of the service. But if you want to sign up for a new account with Sling, then you're going to have to pay a grand total of $30 per handset for it. Which is not too shabby if you're the type who just can't live without having TV to go. Having a Slingbox set up at home is also a requirement, unless you want to watch make-believe TV on your mobile.
The updated software clients are now available for download here. And of course, if all else fails, there's Youtube.

Kenya is still on her kill-NeNe-with-kindness kick and plans a Mexican getaway for the couples. It's her way of taking some of the blame for how poorly the pillow talk event ended. Everyone had some concerns about the trip. NeNe still has no desire to be friends with Kenya, but let's assume she had to go on the trip due to a contractual obligation from the network.
Phaedra didn't want Apollo anywhere near Kenya after the flirtation between the two in Anguilla and the text message scandal from last season. Kandi just figured Kenya had something up her sleeve as usual.
Before the trip, Kenya and Marlo have a sit down to discuss why NeNe is throwing major shade at Marlo. Marlo confesses that NeNe called her on three-way with Cynthia and demanded Marlo stopped hanging with Kenya.
Marlo said to NeNe, "I'm a grown ass woman and I can be friends with whoever I wanna be friends with." She concludes that NeNe's anger stems from losing her job on the show The New Normal and only doing guest appearances on Glee. "She's a fake and a phony. I don't know this NeNe," Marlo says with tears in her eyes.
Peter for some reason decides to reach out to Kordell to see what went wrong with his marriage to Porsha. He claims Porsha let her mother and the rest of her family disrespect their marriage. He also adds that Porsha knew the divorce was coming, although she claimed she was blindsided by the divorce on Twitter. He calls her a knucklehead who lost her condo by not paying the taxes. By the end of the conversation he softens his tone by stating, "I'm gonna always love that girl…but I love her enough to let her go do what she gotta do. I'm at peace with my heart."
Kenya shows up to Mexico early with her date. No, not the African Prince she claims to be dating who bought her a Bentley – but with Miss Lawrence. Everyone but Phaedra and Apollo showed up and was greeted by the overly enthusiastic Kenya twirling around in a two-piece bikini and poncho.
Somewhere in Kenya's head she thinks it's appropriate to put a picture of herself in a bikini in everyone's suite to greet them. More mess is stirred when she makes the couples split up at the dinner table. Who does that? But they all take it in stride and laugh it off. Phaedra and Apollo show up just in time for dinner and luckily they don't get split up. Who's betting had they shown up earlier Kenya would've sat Apollo right next to her?
The subject of Kordell is brought up before the wine starts flowing or appetizers are brought out. Peter mentioned earlier that he'd spoken to Kordell and now Gregg asks her point blank if she blocked her blessing by not reconciling with Kordell. He chimes in about his second chance with NeNe. Porsha was really crazy to even entertain this topic, but she does without tears or getting too angry. Porsha isn't exactly a wordsmith so she had a difficult time explaining herself, but why should she have to?
She says his celebrity status was tainted and she made it her mission to clean up his reputation. Peter was upset about it sounding like she married him as a P.R. campaign. Gregg and Kandi come to Porsha's defense when it looked like she was being attacked by Kenya and Peter.
Did Porsha marry Kordell to be his beard and for him to take care of her financially as part of the deal? Do you believe Kordell when he says her family caused problems in their marriage? Are you Team Porsha or Team Kordell?

Well, maybe you can give them a gift card to Jo-Ann Fabrics so they have more choices.
Jotting it down for posterity: I feel really good right now/today. It's been kind of a slow day. The Facebook discussion ended up making me feel empowered, intelligent, and loved (for the support I got from other people). I don't know if this will last throughout the evening, since I have no idea what I'll do, but I'm glad I feel this way right now, at least. Time to go home!
Word of the day: blop, thanks to Finnegans Wake.
Ex. A blop of cream in my tea would do me nicely.
Dammit, now I really want some chai.
Off to therapy in a few minutes. It's been several weeks since I last went! There will be a lot to catch up on.
It occurred to me this morning that I might want to take a break from this journal for a week sometime soon. I'm curious what it would feel like I stop writing here. I'd still be on the boards, reading and commenting elsewhere. I just feel like I don't really need the accountability right now for food, therapy and my blog have been a good outlet for the brain stuff, and I'm not exercising anyway (plus that would go up on Fitocracy). Maybe I'll vanish for Thanksgiving week.
Last night, I ate one of the bone-in pork chops that I made two nights ago with some broc. I had another glass of wine (poured the rest out this morning) and 4 servings of pie filling until I finally felt full. I also cooked some rice (too much water, have to remember under-measure, I ended up having to drain it). I cooked up two chicken breasts, so one is chopped up for my lunch today, along with some buttered rice. Boyfriend will probably take the other for lunch. He seems to be eating the regular food/leftovers for dinner/lunch at work, and having ramen late at night. I might talk to him this weekend about maybe getting him some frozen things that he can heat up at work, like chicken tenders or something, so he can eat something other than ramen at night, but we don't end up spending a ton by adding in a full extra meal. Or I'll just convince him that we can afford it and I'll just have to start cooking more. It's not a big deal to make multiple meals worth of food at once, I just generally don't. Of course, now it's the weekend, so I don't need to cook a lot unless I'm going to try to freeze things. I think at some point, I want to put together frozen meals that just need to be dumped in the crock pot. I might start with 4, so we have one a week, and prep them at the same time every month. If that seems to work well, I'll start prepping more. I might not try this until December, things just feel too busy right now, even if they aren't.
It's apparent to me that I'm still not eating enough. I often forget that people around here and mostly trying to lose body fat. I am not, so my maintenance-level eating will look a bit different than the daily eats I see on the board. It's kind of obnoxious, needing to eat 3x a day, or at least a certain amount every day. I feel like eating is a hassle, which is probably not a good way to feel about it.
I bought the car parts yesterday. Once they arrive, I'll talk to Boyfriend's dad again about making time to work on the car. I think we might be able to rent garage space from my sister's ex, though I don't know how much $$ he'll want for it. I really hope we can take care of the work that needs to be done in a reasonable amount of time. I also hope that we can get the car towed for free.
I emailed my tattoo artist yesterday on a whim. I picked out a sketch that she had available. It's going to be of my cat (a stylized version of her...holding a stylized mouse-phone). I'll probably wait till January (or until after the car is under my name/done) to get it done, but I'm excited. Nervous, but the same way I felt about my owl & eagle tattoo. I just don't know where I want this one to go.
I logged into my bank account this morning for the first time all month. We can afford to see Skyfall this weekend (hoping it comes out at the local theater, which is cheaper), but otherwise, I don't think I'll be spending money on anything extra. We're doing fine, though, things are on track. I'll buy Boyfriend's Christmas gift(s) later in the month, when I'm sure I have enough and/or I can see if I need to wait till next month. I owe Boyfriend some money for his car and my mom some money for my part of the phone bill, so I don't think I'll make any savings this month. That's fine.
I might ask my mom to get me a stainless steel 14-piece kitchen set for Christmas. It's $80 on BJ's website. She could use my member ID. I'm still undecided on whether we should stick with BJ's or switch to Costco. I haven't been able to get any good feedback on which is better in my area. I know Costco has some better things, like Kerrygold Butter, and almond butter, as well as grass-fed beef. It will take just as long to get to Costco as it does to BJ's, but it will be on the highway instead of through towns.
Shopping list for the weekend
-pork roast or beef roast of some kind, for the crock pot
-white potatoes & sweet poatoes
-coconut milk
-pumpkin puree ($7.99 for 3 29oz cans at BJ's Wholesale)
-bacon? (haven't been eating it lately, but it's nice to have)
-butter? (have to check the freezer)
-chicken stock ($1.99 at Whole Foods for a larger carton, for potential crock pot creations)
-carrots (for crock pot creation? probably not needed for a roast)
-garlic powder
I always put carrots in my roast...
I'll miss you while you take your week sabatical.
Hope the car thing works out for you. If we lived closer to each other, we'd let you use our garage and our tools for free... and I'd ask Brad to load the car on the trailer and haul it for you. Hell... Brad and his dad would probably do the work for you so you wouldn't have to worry about it. They love tinkering - hence the reason behind the race car... makes me wish you lived closer. I'd be thrilled to have you as a guest!
I submitted an order to Vitacost. Hopefully it's not too late for you to earn the rewards. It was too late for me to use my "new member $10 coupon"... it expired on the 3rd and I didn't realize it...
Primal since March 5, 2012
SW: 221 | CW: 204 | LPW: 166 | UGW: 140 (80 lbs loss)
I like to defrost my meaty goodness and make stuff over the weekend that I can eat during the week. Last weekend took a very small pork butt, probably just 2-3 pounds, and seasoned all over with S&P. Took a bunch of garlic and sliced the cloves into little spears, then pricked the butt all over and jammed them in. Browned on all sides in bacon fat, then into a 300F oven with lid on and a scatter of rosemary beneath and on top, and one bottle of beer (used a Sam Adams Octoberfest, but white wine would work splendidly too). Low and slow for ~3 hours, until that bish is flaking. For the last 45 minutes or so, I tossed in shreds of cabbage for an impromptu kraut, it sucked in all the porkfat goodness and sweetness from the booze.
Man, that shit was tasty. In general, pork butt (actually the shoulder) is economical, delicious comfort food, and you can dial up a ton of different spice combos.
Back when I ate bread, I made a similar pork and kraut number, then whonked a pile on a piece of buttered pumpernickel, hit the mess with more butter on top, then baked it for about 20 minutes at 350F. This doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you, it's a toe-curler. If I do another pork roast, I may just cheat and buy some dark bread and go for it.
Also love chuck roasts and short ribs. Have some ribs defrosting as we speak, usually just go no-huddle and skip the recipe. Brown the fat, saute some aromatics/mirepoux, low and slow with booze and herbs, Capt. Fatty does all the work. Any root veggies (turnips, parsnips, taters, carrots) work with roasts.
Jenn, I'll let you know if I ever get to Iowa Man, I'd love for someone else to do this work for me. I think Boyfriend and his dad will do the work once we get the car and parts to a garage. Boyfriend's dad tends to take over when he knows what he's doing. I'll...take pictures? haha
FW, that pork butt is exactly what I want to make, but in the crock pot. Is there an alternative to alcohol I could use? Would water or broth be okay? I don't want to go out and buy booze just for this. I started to feel like my evening was really dull without wine this week, even though it was just 3 nights, so that's why I threw it out this morning. I tend to act like an addict about sugar and booze pretty easily.
I think I'll do my slow cooker meal on Mondays so I have one day a week where I don't have to worry about dinner at all when I get home.
I know slow cookers are beloved by folks here but I rarely use mine.
Note to self: bring candy and wine if I ever meet Tasha...
That's an instant migraine, but I'd be pretty chipper and chatty!

Edited | This list is Confirmed.
Hayate no Gotoku © Hata Kenjiro/Shogakukan
If the rumored 28 January manga list is right, Elex will end January with a 50-tankoubon, two-box set and four-mangazine count. What this would mean for the Commitment versus Fulfillment index I'm tracking monthly is something I will discuss in another post.
As for this list, of the nine tankou releasing (minus another One Piece collection and the first Conan manga box set), five shounen titles catch up from an initial December schedule. IOW, we're looking at a 55-percent Resked here. They are: B'T X 13, Ge Ge Ge Kitaro 5, Sersan Keroro 13, Hayate the Combat Butler 10, and Lum, The Invader Girl 6 (that I speculated would be part of the 28 January batch and got right).
The remaining tetrad—Meteodo 3 (penultimate volume), Tsubasa 7, and two new series, Roadside Angel and TOTO!—are original January releases. Roadside Angel AKA Michibata no Tenshi by Emura-sensei is a HanaLaLa graduate, while TOTO! by Osada Yu-Ko-sensei finished serialization in Shonen Magz, the latest issue of which (#55) streets the day before the manga volumes do. Synopses/blurbs after the list. (BTW, the same ShoMagz premieres another supernatural series, Ghost Doctor (Youkai no Oisha-san) AKA Yokai Doctor by Satou Yuuki-sensei.)

Due to recent events between the government & New Balance, hopefully this petition is no longer needed. Thank you all for helping out. The petition is now closed.
4/25/2014 - Secretary of Defense Christine Fox sent a letter to Maine Rep. Michaud that the Pentagon has issued a new rule that will require recruits to use an $80 allowance for running shoes to buy only a product made entirely in the United States. It also states that, currently, "no footwear manufacturer sells Berry Amendment-compliant athletic shoes." When they become available they must be tested. Until then, "recruits can buy any brand that meets their needs," said Fox.
We finally made it to 200....I know we can make it to 1000...in fact we should be able to do 10,000. I'm not giving up on this. Thanks for all your help!
Our men and women in uniform deserve the very best uniforms and equipment and, thanks to the 1941 Berry Amendment, those uniforms must be made in the USA. But a loophole in this amendment excludes athletic footwear and, as a result, the US government spends $15 million annually on footwear vouchers for soldiers, without requiring the footwear to be American made.
This can not be allowed to go on any longer when there are companies in America willing and waiting for this order. Our servicemen are Americans and every part of their uniform down to their sneakers should be made in America.
Please sign the petition to get the President, the Department of Defense, and Congress to see that every part of a US servicemen's uniform is entirley made in the US.
Problem on this page? Briefly let us know what isn't working for you and we'll try to make it right!

The fall in oil prices has had little impact on new terminal construction work. Operators are still responding primarily to changing global liquid product flows
The American Petroleum Institute (API) has announced the creation of a Midstream Department that will focus on issues related to energy infrastructure and the transport of oil and natural gas.
US After consistent profit growth reports, some of the major players in the US midstream sector posted weak results for the third quarter. The local crude oil market is not as dependable as some might think
EXPANSION The annual HCB roundup of global terminal expansion and construction projects sees refinery closures continuing to cause a structural shift in terminal demand, while nervousness over the future rate of economic recovery is keeping a lid on optimism
OIL January became another month during which shale play energy production in North America drove big announcements regarding rail infrastructure developments
RAIL Shale play energy production in North America continues to drive new business for rail tank operators and manufacturers as infrastructure develops, while opportunities for rail movements of liquids in bulk are opening up in other territories too
EXPANSIONS This year's annual round-up of expansion work at the world's bulk liquids storage terminals is similar in extent to last year's and many of the key drivers for growth remain unchanged
Plains All American Pipeline LP (PAA) has completed the previously announced acquisition of the Yorktown terminal and Jal Pipeline from Western Refining. The total value of the deal is put at some $220m.
Plains All American Pipeline is to go ahead with the Phase IV expansion of its St James, Louisiana terminal, including construction of an additional 1.2m bbl (190,000 m3) of oil storage capacity by the third quarter 2012.

Comic-Con is in full swing. Fans are flooding San Diego in hopes of catching glimpses of never before seen footage of upcoming films or television shows or seeing some of their favorite stars doing panel interviews . If you are a fan of "The Walking Dead" then you hit pay dirt yesterday, July 25, as not only the first trailer to season 5 was seen, but it also revealed when the season premiere would occur.
You can see "The Walking Dead" season 5 trailer by clicking the video above. You may recall that season 4 finished with a real cliffhanger. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and most of his people made it to Terminus, only to discover it was not the haven they were promised. Instead, they all wound up locked away in a boxcar of a train with the show ending on Rick's words, "They're screwing with the wrong people."
Be warned that this "The Walking Dead" season 5 trailer does contain minor spoilers. For example, you better stop reading if you don't want to know Rick and Carl (Chandler Riggs) are reunited with baby Judith. You may think that the show would pit Rick's group against the people at Terminus, but instead it appears they set out on a journey for Washington D.C. to get Dr. Eugene Porter there so he can help bring this outbreak to a close. Of course, tensions are very high between the two groups.
One element of the show that gets better season after season is the makeup effects. Greg Nicotero and his K.N.B. crew have outdone themselves again because the walkers that appear in the trailer look more frightening than ever before. There is one cool looking one with a beard, one female walker wearing glasses that comes right at the camera and one that could only be described as with having a droopy face.
The clips in the trailer come fast and furious. There is a one second clip that may catch the eye of fans who are familiar with the comic book. It comes at the 2:21 mark. The makers of the show may be trying to mislead everyone, but in that brief moment it appears to be a moment from issue #100. We will have to wait until October 12 when season 5 of "The Walking Dead" premieres to see if, indeed, that is what's happening.

Nokia 6710 Navigator and Nokia 6720 classic break cover – GPS-enabled smartphones
Alongside Nokia E75 and Nokia E55, other two new Finnish handsets have been officially announced today at MWC 2009: Nokia 6710 Navigator and Nokia 6720 classic.
Part of Nokia's GPS-enabled family of products, 6710 Navigator and 6720 classic are two mid-end Symbian smartphones that bring nothing new when it comes to design – I even dare say they're a bit on the boring side.
However, the handsets do have some nice features, including advanced GPS capabilities, Nokia Maps and 5MP autofocus cameras with Carl Zeiss lens, dual-LED flash and geotagging.
Nokia 6710 Navigator is a slider that pretty much resembles the 6210 Navigator:
The 6710 Navigator will be available in the third quarter of 2009, for 300 Euros (it will have a Nokia CR-111 car holder included in the box).
Unlike the new Navigator, Nokia 6720 classic is a candybar. It comes with improved voice quality, TV-out and 20 days of stand-by time.
The 6720 classic will be outed in the second quarter of 2009, for 245 Euros.

Get me to the church on time
Naturally, my fabulous hat sparked conversation. Many of us were very much around in 1969 when the revolution (it's been a long, winding road) began at the Stonewall Inn in NYC. The Internet provided some background for me: "The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. They are frequently cited as the first instance in American history when people in the homosexual community fought back against a government-sponsored system that persecuted sexual minorities, and they have become the defining event that marked the start of the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world."
Thrilled that I'll always have my incredibly macho hat to commemorate the event, I toasted New York along with the others, and hearing no whispers of dissent in the garden, moved on, silently praying that other states will join the ranks, while making a mental note to find someone to propose to. Positive that wedding invitations would begin flooding the mailbox, I decided (always a bridesmaid... ) to have a good attitude about my love life and celebrate that, if nothing else, it's legal!
Even though the hat was still in the truck, I thought better of wearing it to the NACL Theatre (www.nacl.org) in Highland Lake, NY (which is in an old church… hmmm) where they were celebrating their own moment—the commencement of the theatre's 11th season with "Darwinii-The Comeuppance of Man" (www.nightjarapothecary.net/darwinii), conceived and directed by Glen Berger and Brett Keyser.
The one-man show was riveting, amusing and deep-thought provoking, and the NACL performance space was transformed into a "Charles Darwin Experience" that, quite simply, blew me away. Berger and Keyser have impressive credentials, and I was impressed accordingly. I left the theatre with a strong desire to read everything Darwin wrote and see everything the NACL has to offer throughout the season, which promises to be stellar.
I may not be getting married in the morning, but have a good idea of where the ceremony and reception should take place, having enriched my soul with beautiful gardens, envisioning a great jazz trio playing in a magical space where anything can happen, and the confidence that New York will stand by me, whatever comes my way.

Looking for DIY ideas for younger eyes, softer skin, or thicker hair? Consider avoiding the chemicals by using all natural products to make homemade scrubs, masks, and conditioners.
Many foods go beyond their duty to nourish our insides. Several can be used topically to nourish our outsides and make us more beautiful, naturally.
Directions to create your Sweet Potato Eye Mask:
This natural concoction will firm that delicate skin around the eyes while smoothing out the appearance of crow's feet.
Mix the following ingredients into a small dish or ramekin:
- 2 T. warm sweet potato (canned or fresh)
- Small dab of petroleum jelly
- Gently dab around the lower part of both eyes
- Allow to sit for *10 minutes
- Rinse with warm water and gently pat dry
* NOTE: To conceal those dark circles under the eye, leave the mask on for 15 minutes. This allows a slight amount of the orange pigment to transfer to the skin.
Organic Advantages:
- Sweet potatoes are rich in Vitamin A which protects skin from aging with use of free radicals, boosts collagen production, aids in wrinkle reduction, and firms the skin
- Sweet potatoes are a gentle topical product that doesn't irritate the delicate areas of the eye
- Petroleum jelly seals in moisture and adds hydration

Bethenny Frankel recently welcomed Ramona Singer to her show, Bethenny, and during the hour-long chat, the pair discusses the cast of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Carlton Gebbia, specifically.
According to a March 11 report by Absurd To Sublime, Bethenny, who is a close friend of Kyle Richards, slammed Carlton during the show, telling fans, "The witch needs to go."
Once she got word of the harsh comment, Carlton reacted on Twitter with a witty diss of her own. "Congrats on the cancellation of ur show you must be so 'relieved'!" she wrote. "Thanks 4 the luv today but U First, I insist."
In recent weeks, rumors have circulated that Carlton, along with fellow cast newbie Joyce Giraud, are on the verge of being replaced on the series because of a lackluster debut. Although nothing has been confirmed, Carlton and Joyce don't appear to have become a part of the group as much as the producers were hoping.
In the past, the series has done well when real relationships are involved, but according to the latest reports, the women of Beverly Hills are all very much separate when it comes to their personal lives and come together only for filming.

QUEST-FISH is a project funded by the UK Natural Environment Research council (NERC) with co-funding from the WorldFish Centre and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, investigating how climate change would affect the potential production for global fisheries resources in the future, compared to past and present scenarios. QUEST-Fish specifically focused on the added impacts that climate change is likely to cause on global fish production, and on the subsequent additional risks and vulnerabilities to human societies.
The QUEST-Fish Consortium included the Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), The National Oceanography Centre Liverpool (NOCL), The Universities of East Anglia (UEA), Plymouth (UoP) and Portsmouth (UP), The Centre for the Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS), and the WorldFish Centre (WF).
QUEST-Fish received funding for the period 2007-2010, and is now officially completed. However, the data continues to be exploited by the Consortium scientists and will remain an active research area for some time.

CINCINNATI - Bullying is a growing problem in schools across the country, but a local author and artist are hoping to bring it to an end.

It is a book about a young boy and friends who are challenged by a school bully.
The book is written for an age group of 4 to 9 years old.
At the end of the book, there are questions designed to seek out possible problems that a child may have kept secret.

Half of Australian jobs are likely to vanish over the next 20 years.
Almost all of the jobs that replace them will require maths.
But our kids aren't ready.
A third of Australian high school students won't even be able to navigate the adult world of numbers, while most of our top students won't reach anything like their full potential.
This is because our students and teachers are stuck in a 19th century learning model.
There is hope
Teachers and students must adopt a strategy that focuses single mindedly on what each student knows now, target their teaching to what each student is ready to learn next, and track every student's progress over time.Maths Pathway is at the centre of a movement of schools who are completely reforming the way they structure, teach and assess maths.
Maths Pathway Schools don't put batches of students through a production line.
Instead, they craft individual learning.
Maths Pathway Teachers don't deliver whole-class lectures from the whiteboard.
Instead, they become more impactful.
Maths Pathway Students don't sit one-size-fits-all tests on topics.
Instead, they have personalised assessment.
All backed by world class teacher and student training, the best support you will ever get, and proactive data monitoring
The Maths Pathway StoryHow two teachers built a nationwide community of schools from a garage
The Movement so Far
Committed Teachers
Learning Students
Inspired Schools
Join the Movement
Empower your teachers and students to learn better than you ever thought possible.
