...There's been something of a zombie revival lately. What do you attribute that to? I think partly it has to do with Brooks. But in a larger sense, people realize that zombies are likeable villains. You have sympathy for them. Zombies haven't chosen to be horrible. They've been infected, and now they're sort of doomed to walk the earth with this singular purpose of seeking out and infecting other people. So there's something tragic about them...
Harrington's recent success has come with an asterisk. Tiger Woods was absent with a knee injury during Harrington's last two major wins, and many now question whether the Irish player's workmanlike skill can challenge golf's chosen one. Harrington carries no false hope. "When Tiger's having a good week, there's not much opportunity for anyone else," he says. His mental coach has instructed him to focus on his own game, as there's not much he or anyone else can learn from studying his monumentally talented rival. "It's silly to pay attention to someone...
...responsibility for providing troop replacements falls to the senior noncommissioned officers who have chosen to make recruiting their career in the U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC).

From the perspective of the White House, the setting in South Bend is impeccable...
...yellow composting barrels without having the waste grinded. Food waste to be composted—either made into pulp by machine or manually collected—is bagged and put into marked barrels, from which it is picked up by local waste management companies. Martin explained that Pforzheimer was chosen for the manual composting pilot program because it had a loading dock and showed interest in the project. “It’s a place where all the elements come together,” she said. Robert V. Fitzsimmons ’10, the Pforzheimer House Food Literacy...
