The end of April through early May is birthday central in my family. The CCB (Caked Crusader's Brother) is a cheesecake fiend and dropped subtle hints that he would like a cheesecake for his birthday cake. These subtle hints comprised of several emails saying, "make me a cheesecake". Subtlety isn't a gift my family is blessed with.
The addition of raspberries to this cheesecake did make it rather a girly colour but I feel that was balanced against the Darth Vader cake topper. Both Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker's light sabres lit up when you pressed a button on their backs. Surely they are the most man-friendly cake toppers ever?
I have made this cheesecake before but with peaches. The recipe can be found here.
I pureed 400g of raspberries and, after sieving out the seeds, found this gave me enough puree not only for the body of the cheesecake but also to top the cheesecake. I made the topping by simply heating the puree and then whisking in two further gelatine leaves, that had been soaked in cold water until soft and then squeezed dry.

Faux Americana
Why I still love Bruce Springsteen.
In his early live shows, Bruce Springsteen had a habit of rattling off, while the band vamped softly in the background, some thoroughly implausible story from his youth. This he punctuated with a shy, wheezing laugh that let you know he didn't for a second buy into his own bullshit. Back then, in the early 1970s, Bruce was still a regional act, touring the dive bars and dive colleges of the Atlantic coast, playing any venue that would have him. As a matter of routine, a Springsteen show would kick off with audience members throwing gifts onto the stage. Not bras and panties, mind you, but gifts—something thoughtful, not too expensive. Bruce was one of their own, after all, a scrawny little dirtbag from the shore, a minor celebrity of what the great George Trow once called "the disappearing middle distance." By 1978, and the release of Darkness on the Edge of Town, the endearing Jersey wharf rat in Springsteen had been refined away. In its place was a majestic American simpleton with a generic heartland twang, obsessed with cars, Mary, the Man, and the bitterness between fathers and sons. Springsteen has been augmenting and refining that persona for so long now that it's hard to recall its status, not only as an invention, but an invention whose origin wasn't even Bruce Springsteen. For all the po-faced mythic resonance that now accompanies Bruce's every move, we can thank Jon Landau, the ex-Rolling Stone critic who, after catching a typically seismic Springsteen set in 1974, famously wrote, "I saw rock and roll future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen."
Well, Bruce Springsteen was Jon Landau's future. Over the next couple of years, Landau insinuated himself into Bruce's artistic life and consciousness (while remaining on the Rolling Stone masthead) until he became Springsteen's producer, manager, and full-service Svengali. Unlike the down-on-their-luck Springsteens of Freehold, N.J., Landau hailed from the well-appointed suburbs of Boston and had earned an honors degree in history from Brandeis. He filled his new protégé's head with an American Studies syllabus heavy on John Ford, Steinbeck, and Flannery O'Connor. At the same time that he intellectualized Bruce, he anti-intellectualized him. Rock music was transcendent, Landau believed, because it was primitive, not because it could be avant-garde. The White Album and Hendrix and the Velvet Underground had robbed rock of its power, which lay buried in the pre-Beatles era with Del Shannon and the Ronettes. Bruce's musical vocabulary accordingly shrank. By Darkness on the Edge of Town, gone were the West Side Story-esque jazz suites of The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle. In their place were tight, guitar-driven intro-verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus songs. Springsteen's image similarly transformed. On the cover of Darkness, he looks strangely like the sallower cousin of Pacino's Sonny Wortzik, the already quite sallow anti-hero of Dog Day Afternoon. The message was clear: Springsteen himself was one of the unbeautiful losers, flitting along the ghostly fringes of suburban respectability.
Thirty years later, and largely thanks to Landau, Springsteen is no longer a musician. He's a belief system. And, like any belief system worth its salt, he brooks no in-between. You're either in or you're out. This has solidified Bruce's standing with his base, for whom he remains a god of total rock authenticity. But it's killed him with everyone else. To a legion of devout nonbelievers—they're not saying Bruuuce, they're booing—Bruce is more a phenomenon akin to Dianetics or Tinkerbell than "the new Dylan," as the Columbia Records promotions machine once hyped him. And so we've reached a strange juncture. About America's last rock star, it's either Pentecostal enthusiasm or total disdain.
To walk back from this impasse, we need to see Springsteen's persona for what it really is: Jon Landau's middle-class fantasy of white, working-class authenticity. Does it derogate Springsteen to claim that he is, in essence, a white minstrel act? Not at all. Only by peeling back all the layers of awful heartland authenticity and rediscovering the old Jersey bullshitter underneath can we begin to grasp the actual charms of the man and his music. A glimpse of this old bullshitter was recently on display when Springsteen inducted U2 into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame on March 14. Springsteen had recently caught the new iPod commercial featuring the Irish rockers. "Now personally, I live an insanely expensive lifestyle that my wife barely tolerates," the old BSer confided to the audience of industry heavyweights, adding,
Now, I burn money, and that calls for huge amounts of cash flow. But, I also have a ludicrous image of myself that keeps me from truly cashing in. You can see my problem. Woe is me. So the next morning, I call up Jon Landau … and I say, "Did you see that iPod thing?" and he says, "Yes." And he says, "And I hear they didn't take any money." And I said, "They didn't take any money?" and he says, "No." I said, "Smart, wily Irish guys. Anybody—anybody—can do an ad and take the money. But to do the ad and not take the money … that's smart. That's wily." I say, "Jon, I want you to call up Bill Gates or whoever is behind this thing and float this: a red, white and blue iPod signed by Bruce 'The Boss' Springsteen. Now remember, no matter how much money he offers, don't take it!"
Every now and again, the majestic simpleton breaks character, and winks; and about as often, he works his way back to subtlety and a human scale and cuts a pretty great song or album. From the post-Landau period, the harrowing masterpiece Nebraska is the only record you can push on the nonbelievers, followed by the grossly underrated Tunnel of Love. The Oscar-winning "Streets of Philadelphia," an account of a man with AIDS slowly fading into his own living ghost, is the equal of any song he's written. In 1995 Springsteen produced The Ghost of Tom Joad, the culmination of a 15-year obsession with Woody Guthrie, whose biography he had been handed the night after Reagan defeated Carter, in 1980. The album is stronger than its popular reception might lead one to believe. "Across the Border" and "Galveston Bay" are lovely and understated and bring home the fact that Springsteen—a man who wrote monster hits for acts as diverse as Manfred Mann, the Pointer Sisters, and Patti Smith—remains a skilled melodist. Nonetheless, the record is a little distant in its sympathies, as if Springsteen had thumbed through back issues of The Utne Reader before sitting down to compose.
His new album, Devils & Dust, is a sequel to The Ghost of Tom Joad. It's mostly acoustic and intimate in scale; but Springsteen appears to have taken criticism of Tom Joad to heart, and Devils & Dust is warmer, and in patches, fully up-tempo. It's hard to describe how good the good songs are. The title song is classic Springsteen—"a dirty wind's blowing," and a young soldier may "kill the things he loves" to survive. And on "Black Cowboys," Springsteen unites a visionary concision of detail with long lines in a way that channels William Blake:
Come the fall the rain flooded these homes, here in Ezekiel's valley of dry bones, it fell hard and dark to the ground. It fell without a sound. Lynette took up with a man whose business was the boulevard, whose smile was fixed in a face that was never off guard.
Though initially signed as a folkie, Springsteen has never been much of a technician on the acoustic guitar, compared to, say, the infinitely nimble Richard Thompson. But on Devils & Dust there's a new comfort with the instrument; and he decorates many of the songs with a lovely, understated filigree. Ah, but how hard the lapses in taste! The strings and vocal choruses used to punch up the sound are—what other word is there?—corny. Next to, say, Iron and Wine, Devils & Dust too often sounds like a chain store selling faux Americana bric-a-brac. One always suspects with Springsteen that, in addition to a blonde Telecaster and "the Big Man," a focus group lies close at hand. The album is suspiciously tuned in to two recent trends, the exploding population of the Arizona and New Mexico exurbs; and the growing religiosity of the country as a whole. Devils & Dust is very South by Southwest—Mary is now Maria, there's a lot of mesquite and scrub pine, and one song even comes with a handy key to its regional terminology (Mustaneros: Mustangers; Pradera: Prairie; Riata: Rope). It's also crammed with Biblical imagery, from a modern re-telling of the story of Leah to Christ's final solacing of his mother. The first is a silly throwaway; the second is a fetching, Dylan-inspired hymn that ends with the teasing rumination, "Well Jesus kissed his mother's hands/ Whispered, 'Mother, still your tears,/ For remember the soul of the universe/ Willed a world and it appeared.' "
The high watermark for Springsteen commercially, of course, was 1984, when "Born in the USA" somehow caught both the feelings of social dislocation and the euphoric jingoism of the Reagan era. Landau's mythic creation, the blue-collar, rock 'n' roll naif, has never held such broad appeal since. In recent years, Springsteen has settled into a pattern of selling a couple million albums (Born in the USA sold 15 million) to the Bruce die-hards. A clue to who these people are can be found in Springsteen's evolving persona, which is no longer as structured around his own working-class roots. On a short DV film on the CD's flip side, Springsteen says he tries to "disappear" into the voices of the migrant workers and ghetto prisoners whose stories make up Devils & Dust: "What would they do, what wouldn't they do, how would they behave in this circumstance, the rhythm of their speech, that's sort of where the music comes in." With Landau nowhere in evidence (he's thanked, but excluded from the album's formal credits), it is up to Springsteen alone to impersonate the voices of the dispossessed. The pupil has finally surpassed the master.
Nonetheless, here I am, starting to hum its tunes, growing a little devil's patch, hitting the gym, and adding a distant heartland twang to my speech. (My wife, meanwhile, curls up on the sofa in shame.) You old bullshitter, you got me again.

Cutting through in the now crowded space of online recruitment can be intimidating. This week HCTV speaks to Rony Kahan and Chris McDonald of Indeed.com to find out how they are helping recruiters adapt to the changing market.
Video transcript below:
Rony Kahan, Co-founder and CEO Indeed.com
Rony Kahan: Our philosophy has been if you do what's best for a job seeker, the job seekers will come to you, if you have all the job seekers coming to you, then the employers will follow because they are looking for the best job seekers.
Reporter: In the now crowded space of online recruiting, carving your own path is increasingly difficult. Indeed.com have cast their net wide and taken on a simpler and more accessible model, they acknowledge as the change in Australian jobs market.
Rony Kahan: We are very focused on really customising the job search experience in Australia for the Australian market and making sure we take this solution to employers here of how to advertise in a different way.
Chris McDonald, National Manager, Indeed.com, Australia
Chris McDonald: Mobile technology is certainly going to be very prevalent in search for the job seeker. Increasingly we are seeing people turn to mobile devices when they are looking for a job. Australia of course has a very high penetration in the mobile space. They are early adopters and you know job seekers are no different than other users within the market. So increasingly they are turning towards mobile devices to fulfil their job hunting needs. Obviously from a recruiter perspective, it's important that they start to think about mobile, when it comes to advertising their vacancies and have to consider the user habits of those job seekers when they are looking for a career.
Rony Kahan: Traditionally the way a job board works, is a company will post a job, they will pay $300, $400 and they may get one application or they may get a 100 applications. With Indeed it's a pay per click model. That means you only pay for the traffic we actually drive that job. So it's very flexible and very cost effective for the employers.
Chris McDonald: One of the things that we are really encouraging that we are seeing in the Australian market is more of a focus on tracking, exactly how the recruiting is going. So rather than just simply placing ads, you know online or on a job board or traditionally in a newspaper for example, they are getting much more, much deeper in their requirement to actually track the behaviours of their candidates. They want to understand the cost per application, they want to understand how much it costs to actually bring that candidate into the business. So that is certainly a benefit from our model in the sense that you are only paying for the applications or the clicks that you are getting. So therefore obviously it's a much more measurable and probably a fairer way to do business to start to recruit candidates.

Panthers center Stephen Weiss said Wednesday morning the pain in his right wrist was so severe he wasn't helping himself or his team.
After consulting with specialists at the Cleveland Clinic on Monday, Weiss made the decision to have season-ending surgery.
"It doesn't make sense to keep playing like this," he said. "I have to get it fixed. … You can't fake your way through this league. It's too good."
Weiss said the procedure, which he had once before at the end of the 2008-09 season, would be done in Cleveland on Tuesday by Dr. Thomas Graham. Weiss also had surgery on his left wrist in 2006. He has been told he would be able to shoot pucks again in three months.

Weiss said he has had pain in the wrist for over a year and had an MRI done last year that showed he had a problem. Weiss said not properly taping it during NHL lockout workouts and the repetitiveness of taking shot after shot likely contributed to the deterioration.
"This surgery was the last resort. I didn't want to have a second one done," said Weiss, who had just one goal off 19 shots in 17 games this season. Weiss averaged 2.12 shots per game and 23 goals per year over the past three seasons.
"As this season went on, it became evident I couldn't play the way I need to be effective and help the team win games and be the player I need to be. I need to get this thing fixed once and for all and get a fresh start with a healthy wrist when I'm ready to go again."
Weiss is the first to admit this isn't the best time to have a wrist problem.
A pending free agent, Weiss might have played his final game with the Panthers after more than a decade with the team. Drafted fourth overall at the 2001 draft held at the Panthers' arena in Sunrise, Weiss is in his 11th season with Florida.
Weiss said "he wouldn't have written" that Sunday's forgettable loss to Carolina would be his last with the Panthers. Yet, that might have been it for Weiss. And it is something that has crossed his mind.
"It kind of burns at me that is how I could be going out," Weiss said. "But that's life sometimes. You have to deal with the cards you're dealt. This is not an easy decision for myself or the team, but it's something that needs to be done. If it is the last game, it's the last game. I just hope everyone understands why I made this decision. It's been a good ride."
Weiss, who turns 30 next month, hasn't ruled out a return to the Panthers, saying "it would be awesome to finish my career here."
The reality is Weiss' agent and the organization haven't spoken about a new deal and the Panthers will likely want to see how this surgery goes before a new long-term deal is talked about.
Weiss said he would welcome a return to the Panthers and said he hopes to chat with the team "in the not-too distant future."
"I started my career here and you don't see that too often, guys staying for one team," Weiss said. "That would be great. But they have to want me back. If they do, those will be decisions I have to make at some point. I'm going to look at all the options and see what's best for me moving forward."
Weiss said during the lockout he wouldn't negotiate with the Panthers during the season as he didn't want it to be a distraction. Even though that isn't a concern now, general manager Dale Tallon said there is no rush to get something done.
Weiss' contract, signed six years ago and worth $3.1 million per season, expires July 1.
"He couldn't perform up to his capabilities, in his opinion, and he wanted to get it fixed," Tallon said. "It was difficult for him and for all of us. Stephen cares and he feels badly about it, but he's got to do what's best for him, too. This is a big year for him as well."
And although the Panthers haven't fully moved on without Weiss, Mike Santorelli has already taken over his long-time locker stall inside the BB&T Center. Prime real estate, that.
Coincidence Santorelli scored his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets?
"Maybe it brought me a little luck," Santorelli said.
• The Panthers originally planned to practice in Coral Springs on Wednesday but decided to leave for Washington a few hours early because of the massive snow storm in the region.

PELLA — Erupting for four touchdowns in a 13-minute span, the Central College football team used a dominant second half for a 37-9 win over Luther College in an Iowa Conference opener Saturday.
The Dutch defense picked up the pace as well, pitching a second-half shutout.
With the offense struggling, it was a third-quarter punt return that provided the spark. Mike Furlong weaved his way to the Luther 14-yard line with a 27-yard return. Three plays later quarterback Nate Snead broke free for a nine-yard touchdown run and the Dutch were on their way, scoring TDs on their next three possessions as well.
"Both Brett (Wilkin) and Mike (Furlong) have a great history of being talented punt and kick returners," coach Jeff McMartin said. "They've been doing this for four years. They give a great effort and get us great field position."
Snead fueled the offense once again, rushing for a game-high 130 yards on 21 carries and two scores while completing eight of 20 passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns.
Defense got Central (2-1 overall, 1-0 conference) on the board, picking up a safety on an errant first-quarter punt attempt. Following a Luther field goal, Central regained the lead on Snead's 4-yard pass to tight end Cory Nikkel on the first play of the second quarter. It was Nikkel's first career TD reception.
But late in the half, Luther linebacker Kyle McGivney returned an interception 56 yards to the Central 4-yard line and Norse quarterback Chris Reynolds went in on the next play. However, Keith Rush blocked the extra point, making it 9-9 at intermission.
"We put ourselves in a bad situation, but what I'm really proud of, though, is that we blocked the extra point," coach Jeff McMartin said. "That made it a 9-9 game. I thought that was important."
Snead followed his third-quarter TD run with a 35-yard scoring strike to receiver Ben Lechtenberg, his first catch since 2009. A 4-yard Snead scoring run with 12:30 left in the game was followed by a 1-yard TD burst by promising freshman running back Josh Osborn. Osborn set up his own score with a 21-yard dash to the 1.
McMartin said Luther had much to do with Central's slow start.
"Credit Luther, they did a great job in the first half," McMartin said. "They're well coached and they played very hard.
"At halftime we went in and made a few adjustments both offensively and defensively, but most importantly, it was just a matter of keep playing hard. The longer we play and the harder we play, the more opportunities we're going to get."
Central finished with 383 yards total offense to Luther's 240. Two Luther quarterbacks completed 21 of 39 passes for 160 yards but the Norse were limited to 80 yards rushing.
Rush and fellow linebacker Seth Carson each had 11 tackles. Rush had 2.5 tackles for loss while Carson had 1.5 sacks. Linebacker Ryan Steinkamp had seven stops.
S-back Preston West rushed for 59 yards on 12 carries, 2 yards shy of his career best. Jeremy Snead and Wilkin each had two pass receptions.
Central travels to the University of Dubuque next Saturday for a 1 p.m. game. The Spartans took a 2-0 overall record into a Saturday night game with Loras College.

Scooping 'offensive products'
IEEE's Automaton blog has a great article on one of the more entertaining demonstrations at the PR2 Workshop at IROS: P.O.O.P. S.C.O.O.P. (Perception Of Offensive Products and Sensorized Control Of Object Pickup). Ben Cohen, Daniel Benamy, Anthony Cowley, Will McMahan, and Joe Romano, all from the GRASP Lab at Penn, outfitted PR2 with a pooper scooper and developed perception, navigation, and manipulation software to reliably detect and cleanup artificial pet messes. The software was able to achieve a reliability rate of 95% and was able to perform a live demonstration for the workshop audience.
IEEE Spectrum has more on this, and you can download the workshop paper here. More information will be posted on the ROS wiki soon.

Stretching Their Legs
The No. 16 Gauchos opened their 2007 campaign in Riverside, Calif. last weekend at the Cal Baptist Tournament. UCSB defeated its first opponent of the day in host NAIA school Cal Baptist, 9-8. Santa Barbara established an early 4-1 lead over the Lancers, who came back to lead the game 6-8 in the fourth period. The Gauchos went on a 3-0 scoring run to put the game away. Later that day, UCSB took on No. 15 Hartwick and was not as successful as earlier, dropping the game 5-6.
Winter Migration
The Gauchos are making their annual trip to San Diego this weekend for the Triton Invitational The tournament is one of the most competitive in collegiate water polo with 12 of the 16 teams participating ranked in the top 20 this week. Also competing in the tournament will be four other Mountain Pacific Sports Federation teams -- No. 6 San Diego State, Cal State Northridge, No. 7 UC Irvine and No. 15 Long Beach State.
Spreading the Wealth
Santa Barbara distributed Saturday's goals amongst itself with eight different Gauchos scoring over the weekend. Senior center Sarah Kovach led the way with four goals, all of which came in the Cal Baptist game. Sophomore Gillian Morgan also had notable weekend performance scoring one goal in each game.
Gauchos in the Goal
Senior co-captain Rosey Redaelli and junior Jenny Gonzales split time in the cage last weekend for the Gauchos and will look to do so again. Redaelli, who has the most experience of the three returning goalies, averaged 5.5 saves per game last season and started 13 games for UCSB. Redaelli earned her first win of the season last Saturday versus Cal Baptist, notching four saves for the Gauchos. Gonzales had five saves in the Saturday afternoon loss to Hartwick.
Scouting the Broncos
Santa Barbara's only predetermined match of the Triton Invitational will be against Santa Clara on Saturday morning. The Broncos are already 4-1 on the fresh season with recent victories over UC Santa Cruz and Sonoma State. Santa Clara dropped its home opener to then ranked No. 11 San Jose State, 10-5 before rebounding the next week with an upset over then-ranked No. 12 Hartwick, 8-6. The Gaucho defense will have to work to contain senior driver Katie Radvanyi and sophomore driver Brianna Anderson, who are the clear leaders for Santa Clara.

He was a professor of English at Shasta College for 40 years, from 1964 to 2004. After retiring, he conducted historical research on 19th and early 20th century figures on the Colorado Plateau, including the storied life of his relative, Henry Goodman.
As a father, no man could have been prouder than he was of his beloved children: Jennifer Foster of Danville, Calif., and Rich Dalrymple of Chico, Calif. As a doting grandfather, no one could have been more grateful to have been blessed with the grandchildren he was given: Henry and Jackson Dalrymple of Chico, and Riley, Gillian, and Fiona Foster of Danville.

Markets are flowing downstream like a fast-moving river, as investors look set to finish an ugly January with even more losses, after that sunshine session on Thursday.
Strategists have been keeping a close eye on some major support levels for the S&P 500 , with 1,775 and 1,770 both being batted around as levels to watch. But if stock futures are any indication as to how the day is going to progress, you can kiss those goodbye.
Over at SpreadEx, Max Cohen said the S&P 500 is nearing its 150-day moving average, \"a significant technical resistance barrier.
\"Currently trading at 1,764.6, the 150-day moving average is still some 33 points away at 1,732.2. Having already smashed through the 20 and the 50-moving day average in the past three weeks, there is nothing to say we won\'t go lower. However, with it being earnings season, a string of good company performances could turn the tide.\"
Here\'s what Sarhan Capital\'s Adam Sarhan had to say to clients this week:
\"The S&P 500\'s next level of support is 1,767-1,772 (Dec. and Jan. lows) then 1,729 (Sept.\'s high & its 150 daily-moving average). Meanwhile, the next areas of resistance: 1,776 and then 1,812 (50 daily-moving-average line). Of course, if support is breached — expect much lower prices to follow.\"
Here\'s T3 Live\'s Scott Redler weighing in on Friday morning:
\"Starting the year, we had three trends to trade. Sellers were able to break the accelerated trend at SPX 1,813-1,830ish. That was the first spot to reduce risk or change your process. Now the sellers will have their chance to break the intermediate trend at SPX 1,766-1,772 — if that\'s your time frame, then you honor that level. A break or close below that level — then the 150-day can come into play in coming weeks at 1,733 and the 200-day under that is 1,705. Know what you can handle.\"
It\'s a lot of tech talk, but basically strategists are laying out the ground work for a messy Friday, unless things turn around, with a warning from Wal-Mart and some ugly numbers from Mattel and Amazon.com , among others.
But some see light. J.P. Morgan\'s chief U.S. equity strategist, Tom Lee, told CNBC on Friday that 2014 is going to turn into a solid year, and markets are \"within a couple of percent of the bottom.\"

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) - Josh Lesneiwski and his sister Lori usually spend Thanksgiving with family, but this year they decided to volunteer at the Salvation Army instead because this Thanksgiving is different.
It's different from last year when they spent most of their time in a hospital room after Josh fell off a ladder.
"Thirty foot fall. I fell on concrete and broke my back and my head. Broke my head open in 3 places," he said.
"Following his accident there was just an outpouring of support and love and money and everything they needed," said Lori.
This Thanksgiving is different than any holiday season before that, because Josh says that accident changed his perspective, "They're just that much more important to you because you really are thankful for so much more around the holiday time."
It hasn't been easy. After the accident doctors didn't think Josh would live. Then, he spent almost a year in the hospital. He still struggles with his long road to recovery.
"It's like growing up all over again. You have to start over just like a child and learn how to do things again, except harder," said Josh.
Last year friends and family held a "Miracles for Josh" 5k race to raise money for his medical care. Now, he hopes to make the 5k and annual event to help raise money for others with disabilities.
This week Josh took his first steps since the accident, but even if he never walks again he says he would be ok with that, too. His accident taught him to appreciate everything as a gift, and for that he is thankful.

All that prep work I've been doing in New York City for the last few weeks? It jumps to warp speed tomorrow and I, along with my fellow Mobile Nations editors, Phil Nickinson, Daniel Rubino, and Kevin Michaluk, along with the enormously talented Cali Lewis and John P, will be pretty much offline most days this week.
I'll still pop in as much as possible, and I'll share via @reneritchie on Twitter, ADN, and Instagram as much as I can. Apple earnings are coming up on Tuesday, so at the very least I'll make sure I'm around for that.
Meanwhile, our new editor, Peter Cohen, starts tomorrow, and Leanna, Ally, Joe, as well as Chris and Simon will be around to keep things running.
We're going to have a ton of stuff coming your way and soon, so please excuse me for a few while we all work our asses off to make it so.

(CNN) -- With hot summer days ahead, what better way to treat yourself than enjoying a childhood indulgence: ice cream. From decadently sweet to decidedly sinful, the flavors are endless, and a good ice cream shop is never too far away.
This summer, try an ice cream tour. From well-known brands to bucolic family farms, tours of ice cream dairies and factories are just waiting to be explored.
Hansen Dairy -- Hudson, Iowa
Owned and operated by the Hansen family since 1861, the Farm Fresh Dairy offers guests a hands-on tour of the working farm and dairy.
In addition to the usual farm sights, from baby calves to milking parlors to cow barns, guests can also see the creamery, the Hansen farm equipment and even domesticated wallabies that live on the farm. The dish of ice cream you receive at the end is made right there.
You can request for the tour to be hands-on, meaning in addition to the regular activities, you can also feed a calf, milk a cow by hand, make homemade butter and pet a wallaby.
Tours are available Monday through Saturday all year long, but visitors are encouraged to come late March to early November. The walk-through tour is $6, the hands-on experience is $10. Be sure to make an appointment.
If the complimentary ice cream isn't enough, you can also visit Moo Roo in Waterloo, just nine miles up the road. That's Hansen's retail store, which includes their complete dairy line, ice cream, soft-serve, ice cream pies and cakes and their Moo Roo signature chocolate cake roll with ice cream.
Ben & Jerry's -- Waterbury, Vermont
Serving up creative scoops since 1978, Ben & Jerry's is still a beloved American ice cream institution. Their popular tour takes groups of 40 visitors on 30-minute guided trips through their famed Waterbury Factory.
It begins in the Cow Over the Moon theater with a company history movie about founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. Venture on to a glassed-in mezzanine overlooking the ice cream production room and learn about the manufacturing process. A tour wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Flavoroom to sample the flavor of the day.
During the summer, optional outdoor activities include visiting cows in the pasture, picnicking and visiting the Flavor Graveyard to mourn the loss of concoctions past. Also, don't forget to visit the full-service scoop shop for your new favorite flavor.
Visit their website for seasonal hours. Ticket prices are kid friendly -- ages 12 and younger are free admission, $3 for adults and $2 for senior citizens.
Boulder Ice Cream -- Boulder, Colorado
For the health-conscious ice cream indulger, Boulder offers organic cool treats that are 100% natural, meaning no ingredient name has "more than three syllables."
Located five minutes from downtown Boulder, the factory offers tours every Friday and Saturday. Visitors can learn how ice cream is made, enjoy a free ice cream tasting and wrap things up in the "Colorado Natural Products" gift shop.
Popular flavors of their organic ice cream include Island Coconut, Mexican Chocolate and Green Tea.
The tour is free, but it's by appointment only, so be sure to call ahead.
Homeland Creamery -- Julian, North Carolina
A genuine farm tour, this 90-minute excursion begins by giving visitors a hayride view of the farm, from crops in the field to cows in the pasture. Watching baby cows being bottle-fed is a special treat.
Other experiences include getting to milk a "simulated" cow and walking through the milk parlor. Owner/operators Chris, Jayne, David and Terry Bowman aim to enlighten guests about how milk products go from cow to the consumer.
Of course, the tour ends with a sample from their own creamery-made ice cream.
While no weekend tours are available, the farm is open Monday through Friday, with tours beginning at 10 a.m. Admission is $6 a person, ages 2 and older.
Hilmar Cheese Company -- Hilmar, California
Don't be fooled by the name -- this cheese company, founded in 1984, also has cool creamy treats on the premises.
While the Hilmar guided tour mainly highlights the cheese-making process, an impressive all-inclusive experience, visitors can request the Family Fun Ice Cream Activity as well.
After the tour, you can create and eat your own ice cream. Basic ingredients for vanilla ice cream are put in "magic jars." If you follow directions and shake properly, the "magic" happens.
"It's really fun," said Denise Skidmore, director of education and public relations at Hilmar. "If you end up with a milkshake, obviously you've done something wrong. This experience is all about learning the old-fashioned process."
The tour is free, but the activity is $3. Summer tours are Monday through Friday at 11 a.m., beginning June 6 and going through August 26.

Inika Cosmetics has an interesting back story; the founder Miranda Bond struggled with endometriosis and thought shouldn't wouldn't be able to conceive naturally. She decided to change things in her lifestyle, like her diet (very important of course) and eliminating products that contain potentially harmful chemicals that can be found in cosmetics.
Once she began to detox her life she fell pregnant naturally and eventually Inika was born, a 100% natural beauty brand that is vegan friendly, and free of synthetic chemicals.
I am all for eliminating harmful toxins from beauty products, although it's pretty hard to tell what is actually natural and what isn't – a lot of ranges sell themselves as 'organic' but still contain obviously dubious ingredients. Also it's quite hard to find anything that is completely natural on the high street.
I was sent 4 products from the range to try out…
i. Pure Primer
ii. Liquid Mineral Foundation in Honey
iii. Medium Perfection Concealer
iv. Lip Whip in peach
I've been testing these products for a while now and have got a good grasp of them.
The range is well packaged and comes in sleek black. It's a fairly expensive range, with the liquid foundation costing £29.90 on their website at the time of writing (but coming with a foundation brush).
I have to confess my first few uses with the base products did not get off on a good start. Clearly, I am used to high street and high end base products that have a number of preservatives in them. So the main differences I noticed were:
1. Strong Smell – these products have more natural extract in them so they did (especially the primer) have a strong herbal scent.
2. Texture – I noticed the base and the concealer especially has a habit of separating. I had to squeeze out quite a lot of concealer which ran out as liquid before it became a cream!
3. Reactions – Just because something is natural doesn't mean it suits everyone skin. Mine is sensitive and because this stuff must have a lot more active ingredients in it, I did find it tingling a lot to begin with.
I like the primer – it creates a nice base for foundation, possibly the mineral powder foundation would work even better with it than the liquid, but bear in mind it is quite strongly scented.
The liquid mineral foundation is nice, it leaves a sheer glowy coverage. Honey is a bit too yellow and warm for me though – there's not a ton of colour choice in the range but it blends ok.
The concealer is also decent, with a cream texture that felt good around the eyes but fell into the creases somewhat. If you can roll this one around for a while to mix up the product as it's prone to separation.
The Lip While was nice, there wasn't much pigment once it was on my lips, it looked quite sheer and shiny.
Overall, this is a new experience for me and it'll take some getting used to but it's well worth a try if you want to eliminate a lot of toxins from your body – it totally makes sense to me which is why I'll keep trying things from Inika. It'll just take a while for me to wake up from a silicone-paraben induced coma!
A selection of Inika products (including the foundation) launched at QVC in this April.

Sugarpoprecords necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 78 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Sugarpop Records
Sugarpop Records is an indie label all geared up for launch. Our goal is to resurrect Pop music by signing artists that are...wait for it...actually unique and bring a little shimmer and shine to the pop world! Imagine that! We're just as tired as you are of all the vanilla, cookie cutter artists that are filling the top 100 charts. Where is the variety? Where are the "oh wow" artists? Where are the artists that set the world a blaze? Remember those days? Yeah, we do too and we're hoping to bring them back. We've already signed our first band, Air Traffic Controller and we are ready to move full steam ahead. Although, currently we are in "stall" mode until we get our logo designed. We can't put our website up without a logo, we can't put our social networking pages up without a logo, and we can't create tee-shirts and other fun items without a logo. Can you help? Music fans all over the world are counting on you!
Target is an 18-24 year-old male/female (skewing female just a smidge)
My big idea is to have a logo that looks like an old school bottle cap. I would like pink to be the main color w/ sparkly silver as the secondary color. Black and beige can be accent colors.
Those are my ideas, but please don't be shy. Feel free to surprise me with your own ideas. The only thing is, I do want it to sparkle and glitter. Rock n' roll/girly is what I am looking for, but no flowers/roses/butterflies, etc. I don't want the guys to be turned off by the logo.

My e-mail inbox can fill up faster than it takes Jamaican sprinter "Lightning" Bolt to humble his competition. Most of these e-mails don't exactly fit the category of news, but a few of them I just don't have the heart to delete. So I thought I'd share them with a few folks.
A company in Florida has invented a way to turn horse, uh, waste into green energy for the Ocala/Marion community. The area is known as the horse capital of the world, and most assuredly leads the world in the production of horse waste.
Dung from over 35,000 horses will be trucked from farms, training centers, sales companies, and other equine facilities across Marion County to a site owned and managed by the new enterprise. The manure will be mixed with wood waste and then gasified to produce renewable thermal energy, which will then be used to produce green electric power for sale to the power grid.
The facility is expected to convert upwards of 100,000 tons of stall and wood waste per year. The process should produce approximately 7.2 megawatts of exportable energy daily, enough to power over 1,400 homes.
Gives a whole new meaning to the term horsepower, doesn't it?
According to a news release from the Weed Science Society of America, the earthworm's symbiotic relationship with crop production is in danger of being soiled. We all have heard that earthworms feed on plant litter they collect from the soil surface and store inside their narrow, underground homes. As the litter softens and decays, it improves the availability of nutrients in the soil.
Now, though, it appears earthworms could have a sinister side. Scientists have discovered that "underground gardening" by earthworms is contributing to the spread of giant ragweed, a plant that causes sneezes and sniffles, not to mention the fact that some biotypes are resistant to glyphosate.
"Earthworms help ragweed thrive by systematically collecting and burying its seeds in their burrows," said weed ecologist Emilie Regnier of Ohio State University. "In fact, we've found that more than two-thirds of all giant ragweed seedlings emerge from earthworm burrows."
Scientists have long been mystified by the rapid spread of giant ragweed since it produces relatively few seeds. Now research shows that the ergonomic earthworm is one of the culprits.
"Our study shows that nightcrawlers are some of nature's most useful weed farmers," Regnier said. "They actively forage for weed seeds, pull them into their burrows and then 'plant' them under up to several inches of soil."
And finally, news broke on the Internet recently of a record-setting harvest in Norton, Kan., where a 160-acre field of grain was harvested in 10 minutes and 15 seconds. Before you start looking into putting a jet engine on your combine, you should know 100 combines were used to complete the task. I have to admit I'm impressed. Sure hope they had more than one grain truck.

As advocates of healthcare reform see it, change in the United States healthcare system has become an economic necessity – not just socially desirable or politically popular.
"It has to happen," says Regina Herzlinger, an expert at the Harvard Business School in Cambridge, Mass. That's because the business community pays for 55 percent of the nation's total health costs, the government just 45 percent. And many businesses want to get rid of their health costs.
"Bringing costs under control is the only way to … allow our companies to effectively compete around the world," states Sen. John McCain, the leading Republican presidential candidate, on his website.
Those costs have exploded. Healthcare expenditures in the US rose 6.7 percent in 2006 to $2.1 trillion, or 16.1 percent of the nation's total output of goods and services, government economists reported last month. (Last week, the government predicted the nation's healthcare expenditures will reach $4 trillion by 2017.) Most other rich industrial nations, with universal care, spend only 11 to 12 percent of their gross domestic product on healthcare. Canada spends even less, a bit more than 9 percent of GDP, on a single-payer government insurance system for all its people.
US health costs have doubled in the past decade. Yet nearly 48 million Americans have no health insurance. By some health measures, the expensive US health system produces poorer "outcomes" in health than do the cheaper systems in other nations.
In the current campaign season, Senator McCain calls for dozens of reforms to bring down costs and make expenditures more effective in health results. And he states, "we can and must provide access to healthcare for all our citizens." His proposals, though, don't fully embrace the uninsured.
Shannon Brownlee, a senior fellow at the centrist New America Foundation, charges that McCain is "so wedded to the free market that he fails to recognize that there has been market failure" in the healthcare industry.
Democratic presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are more ambitious in their proposed reforms than McCain. They both promise, if elected, to provide guaranteed, affordable care for all Americans.
Both of their proposals have taken key elements from a plan of Jacob Hacker, a political scientist at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. Professor Hacker's template, outlined in an Economic Policy Institute briefing paper, notes: "America's $2.2 trillion-a-year medical complex is enormously wasteful, ill-targeted, inefficient, and unfair. The best medical care is extremely good, but the Rube Goldberg system through which that care is financed is extremely bad – and falling apart." He calls the runaway costs a "grave threat" to the security of family finances and to corporate America's bottom line.
The Hacker plan combines the current employer-based system with a new federally administered insurance pool similar to Medicare, the popular program for older Americans. This new pool would be funded by premiums and copays charged to individuals and employers who sign up, as well as government subsidies. Individuals would automatically be enrolled, either at work or when they seek care. Premiums would be capped, with subsidies for lower-income families.
Employers would have to offer health coverage at least as good as this plan, or, alternatively, pay 6 percent of payroll into the national pool to cover their employees.
The tax deductions currently given employers on healthcare costs would be eliminated in favor of a new standard income-tax deduction for individuals with health insurance.
Hacker was delighted last month when an analysis of his plan by the Lewis Group, a nonpartisan consulting group, held that his proposal would cover 99.6 percent of all Americans without raising total national health spending. Indeed, it would save more than $1 trillion over 10 years, the report held.
None of the leading presidential candidates call for a single-payer system, as in Canada. That may be in part political expediency, considering what is possible. Republicans sometimes call Democrat health plans "socialized medicine."
But a survey by the Harvard School of Public Health finds that the public is not so scared of that term anymore. Asked if socialized medicine would be better than the present system, 45 percent said "better." Another 4 percent said "about the same" and 12 percent "who knows." Only 39 percent ticked off "worse."
Hacker doubts if Americans would go "in one fell swoop" for a single-payer system where individuals choose their own doctors, but government pays the bill.
One reason could be what Sara Robinson, a North Vancouver analyst, calls the many "myths" about Canada's system. One myth is that it is less efficient. Rather, she argues, shareholder profit, inflated CEO salaries, and top-heavy administration in the US system siphon off 20 to 24 percent of healthcare spending.
Canada, says Ms. Brownlee, author of a new book, "Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer," spends about 16 percent of every dollar on administrative costs.

I'm trying to be careful not to show favoritism when linking here to articles by our client newspapers, but every week The Catholic Spirit in St. Paul, Minn., publishes such a treasure trove of interesting pieces that it's hard to resist. For example:
- With Veterans Day coming up this weekend, there's a story of an 89-year-old local man who survived the horrific Bataan Death March during World War II and how his faith in God brought him through the ordeal.
- The two archbishops of St. Paul and Minneapolis — one is a coadjutor — each write weekly columns for the paper. This week Archbishop John C. Nienstedt explores the moral aspects of reproductive technologies — he says he knows the suffering firsthand because his sister and brother-in-law had to face infertility — while Archbishop Harry J. Flynn, in a reprint of a previous column, offers parenting advice direct from St. Paul (the saint, not the city).
- There's also an enlightening look at how we should deal with the consumer boycotts that we are asked to participate in, often for very just and moral causes. The guest column by Kyle Eller is actually a reprint from the article he wrote for The Northern Cross in the Diocese of Duluth, Minn, where he is editor.

The spotlight was on Cody Ruggirello, just like during his high school wrestling days at Valley Central.
The spotlight was on Cody Ruggirello, just like during his high school wrestling days at Valley Central.
Ruggirello shook hands with Iowa's Derek St. John, the nation's top-ranked 157-pounder, in the center circle at Madison Square Garden, and then it was go time.
Wrestling two weight classes up, Ruggirello, a Hofstra redshirt sophomore, survived the full seven minutes, losing to St. John 16-4.
After the match, Ruggirello's older brother, Lou, a former all-American at Hofstra, called to give Cody his observations.
"You are so slow on your feet," Lou said. "What are you doing? He's taking shots and you are not pulling your leg back."
Cody Ruggirello wasn't thinking about the match as a loss. He was using it as a barometer to his road back. The match was just Ruggirello's 11th in three seasons.
Once the state's all-time wins leader at Valley Central, Ruggirello has undergone two back surgeries while at Hofstra.
Ruggirello had a laminectomy, during which a portion of a vertebral bone was removed, in May 2011. He fractured his lower back in preseason workouts in September 2011 and had a spinal fusion last January.
Bones were taken from Ruggirello's hip and foot for the surgery. Four screws hold the vertebrae in place.
Andrew Hecht, a spine consultant for the Jets and Islanders, performed both surgeries at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York.
Ruggirello wasn't given any promises of a return to the mat after the fusion.
Hecht told Ruggirello that, "there's life after wrestling."
"He said, 'Cody I want you to be a successful wrestler, but really you want to be a successful man some day,' " Ruggirello said.
Ruggirello's recovery would determine his wrestling fate. And this time, he needed to be patient. After his first back surgery, Ruggirello jumped into live wrestling too quickly.
"The only way I was going to be able to wrestle again was with rest, physical therapy and staying off the mats," Ruggirello said.
Not an easy thing to do coming from a wrestling family. Ruggirello started dreaming of state titles when he was 5. He joined his father, Lou, and brother, Lou, as a state champion in 2007, his freshman season at Valley Central.
Ruggirello, who won 275 matches in his high school career, went wrestling-free for seven months.
"I was able to make a full recovery and I'm feeling good right now," Ruggirello said.
"I'm happy and my family is just happy that I'm back and able to wrestle. My parents are so into wrestling. For them, they don't care how I am doing (with results) right now."
Feeling good comes with some work. Ruggirello arrives an hour early to practices and matches for treatment. He said he has to stretch 20 times a day to keep his back from stiffening up.
On the mat, Ruggirello, who is 1-5 this season, battles through some aches. College wrestlers like to pull on their opponent's head when locking up. That puts more stress on Ruggirello's back.
"It took a lot of adjusting, knowing your body and knowing the difference between pain or soreness," Ruggirello said. "It's a good opportunity for me now and I can't mess things up. I'm just trying to do everything right."
Ruggirello said he's been given a second chance. He knows he's not the elite wrestler he was in high school just yet. Ruggirello almost feels like he's starting over again and working his way up.
"I feel I could have the potential to be a good college wrestler, a good Division I wrestler," Ruggirello said. "It all takes time. It's not going to just happen with the snap of my fingers."
Ruggirello's comeback will continue this weekend at the Midlands Championships in Chicago. He's wrestling at 149 pounds as a double entry for Hofstra. Ruggirello's results could determine his place in Hofstra's lineup the rest of the season.
"I'm in a different position now," Ruggirello said. "When I was in high school, I had pressure to defend my ranking, but right now if I do well maybe it's not as expected. It's like a different kind of pressure."

On Aug. 22 at approximately 10:30 a.m., President Barack Obama and Air Force One landed without incident at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. After stepping off the massive American aircraft bearing the president's seal, Obama was greeted by Mayor Byron Brown and his staff, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his three daughters, Congressman Brian Higgins, an excited crowd of roughly 50 locals, an eager congregation of media and numerous security details.
The president's arrival marked the beginning of a large tour in which Obama will give several speeches and discussions about college and its prices. After Obama left the airport, he traveled to the University at Buffalo to share his thoughts and ideas on how he plans to get the government involved in helping students pay the hefty price tag for college.
"It's very exciting," Brown said. "Having President Obama discuss such an important topic for families and students is a great honor. For the president to start the tour here about higher education and affordability means that this community is on his radar."
When the president descended from the belly of Air Force One, a renewed energy filled the crowd, which had been standing for more than an hour in anticipation. Obama shook hands and exchanged conversation with Cuomo, Higgins, Brown and Cuomo's daughters before redirecting his attention to the crowd of people permitted to attend the arrival.
As he approached the cheering citizens, Obama exclaimed, "How are all you people?"
The president shook hands, laughed, conversed and took pictures with the crowd during a short 10-minute window. The crowd consisted of family and friends of the staff involved in making the president's arrival possible. Each individual was handpicked and run through security before being allowed to see the president.
Obama shared the few last moments with other dignitaries before disappearing into his large, black tour bus and leaving the tarmac. A 28-vehicle convoy was arranged for the president upon his arrival, including two tour buses, eight police vehicles, an EMS truck and several other utility vehicles.
After the motorcade was out of sight, the crowd began to file back into the shuttle buses to be taken back to the parking lots, but not before sharing the moments they had with their president.
"It was a great experience," remarked Ronnie Lumpkin of Buffalo. "It was the first time I've seen him. He was really personal, he shook hands, he talked with people and took pictures."
Later on, Lumpkin inquired somewhat in disbelief, "He thought of Buffalo, N.Y., to visit? That's great!"
Though the president only paused for about a quarter of an hour at the airport, the amount of security and preparation that was visible to spectators would let them believe he planned to spend a full day on the tarmac. Everywhere one turned, there was state police, government staff, secret service, military personnel, armored vehicles, police vehicles and emergency equipment within shouting distance. Teams of security agents were even posted on top of several buildings within the immediate vicinity with a commanding view of the surrounding area. One reporter's humorous description portrayed the security coverage surprisingly accurately, "Security here is tighter than my 10-year-old skinny jeans."
For those who have been counting, it's been approximately four years since the president last visited Buffalo.

A Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological and biblical research.
The account in the Synoptic gospels of the demoniacs of Gadara is a pivotal event in the Galilean ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. This event is recorded in all three Synoptic gospels (Matt. 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39). This paper will examine several "problems" relating to this account and then an attempt will be made to place it in proper perspective in relation to the whole of the Lord Jesus' ministry.

More torrential rain worsened flooding in the Midwest, spawning high water that swept away an Iowa teenager, caused a traffic nightmare near one of the nation's busiest airports and threatened to swamp a Missouri town for the fifth time in less than a decade.
More torrential rain worsened flooding in the Midwest, spawning high water that swept away an Iowa teenager, caused a traffic nightmare near one of the nation's busiest airports and threatened to swamp a Missouri town for the fifth time in less than a decade.
More than 3 inches of rain fell over much of eastern Iowa and northern Illinois Monday night and Tuesday morning, and some areas got up to 5 inches of rain, National Weather Service meteorologist Mark Fuchs said, capping a week of downpours in the region.
Six Midwest states — North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri — were dealing with significant flooding and there were pockets in some other states. By the weekend, the Mississippi River will be at major flood stage along many Iowa, Illinois and Missouri communities, forecasters said. River flooding could close highways, potentially top levees and threaten some homes and businesses.
The Mississippi River rise came suddenly after a spate of thunderstorms in the last month, Fuchs said.
"The spring wasn't that terribly bad. It was minor flooding, kind of ho hum," he said. "We had a very wet June, and it looks like, initially at least, July will follow suit."
In Iowa, rescue crews on Tuesday afternoon recovered the body of 17-year-old Logan Blake, who was swept away in a Cedar Rapids storm drain Monday night. Authorities say his body was found in three feet of water in a lake one mile away. Blake was with friends on the grounds of an elementary school when he was pulled into the drain by fast-moving water.
The storms were blamed for two deaths in Indiana, where trees fell on homes early Tuesday, killing 14-year-old Daniel Holbrook in Winona Lake and 64-year-old Larry Davisson at Big Long Lake; and in Iowa, where a man died when a building collapsed in high winds.
The sudden rain overwhelmed the Kennedy Expressway, a major Chicago thoroughfare that runs to O'Hare International Airport. All but a single lane of traffic heading to the airport was closed for several hours Tuesday because of standing water. Some desperate air travelers were getting out of taxis and hauling luggage the rest of the way to the airport.
Karen Pride, a spokeswoman for Chicago's aviation department, said Tuesday that some 125 flights at O'Hare had been canceled. A dozen more were scrapped at Midway International Airport.
A Chicago area water authority released millions of gallons of storm runoff and sewage into Lake Michigan to relieve tunnels and reservoirs, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago said.
In Kane County, Illinois, west of Chicago, storms washed out a stretch of an unlit, rural road and created a 10-foot sinkhole that a Ford Taurus drove into early Tuesday morning, trapping both occupants. No one was seriously hurt.
The fast-rising Mississippi River prompted sudden flood-fighting efforts in several towns from southern Iowa to near St. Louis.
One of those was Clarksville, Missouri, about 70 miles north of St. Louis. The town of only about 400 residents draws tens of thousands of visitors every year to one of the widest and most scenic spots on the Mississippi.
It also has no flood protection. In four of the past eight years, Clarksville has been forced to spend $400,000 to $700,000 in city funds to pay for sandbagging operations — the entire annual city budget is $350,000.
The flood is expected to crest nearly 9 feet above flood stage on Tuesday. That's enough to put water into several homes and most downtown businesses. But Mayor Jo Anne Smiley said there will be no organized sandbagging this year.
"The city has no funding to deal with this flood," Smiley said. "Individuals and business owners are on their own."
Homeowners and merchants are already using sand and bags left over from last year to fortify their own properties. Smiley is also trying to get prisoners to help fill and place the bags.
Flood warnings have been issued for multiple areas of central and eastern Iowa and several rivers that flow into the Mississippi were flooding, the National Weather Service said. Lucinda Robertson, a spokeswoman for Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management, said her office received requests from several counties for equipment to cope with the flooding.
In Minnesota, fresh off its wettest June in more than a century, there were signs that the worst flooding may be receding. The flooding has already forced St. Paul to relocate a major food festival and the annual Fourth of July Fireworks display away from the Mississippi River. State leaders said the flooding had caused at least $32 million in damage to public roads, bridges and parks — a tally that's expected to rise as the flood waters recede.
Parts of the Dakotas also saw record rainfall over the weekend. In North Dakota, crews in Bottineau and Renville counties were cutting open some roads to keep water flowing and away from farmhouses. Weekend storms dumped as much as 9 inches of rain.

Watch One Direction Play Soccer + Go Shirtless
When One Direction announced their Where We Are world tour, they did it from London's Wembley Stadium. And then they got shirtless and played with balls. Wait, what?
The adorable fivesome changed in and out of various soccer jerseys and ran about the massive field playing what they call "football" on their side of the pond. They're just as excited to watch the sport when they embark on their tours throughout Latin and South America.
Niall Horan gushed, We're all big football fans. We would love to be in Brazil for the World Cup."

Packer Mania
September 25, 2010 by Judy Trull
Today marked a special day for my husband Tim. As a young boy Tim lived in Green Bay for a time, right across from what was then the Packer practice field. As you can imagine, that is the stuff that dreams are made of for a young kid growing up in any town in America. The Green Bay Packers are a small town NFL team and for Tim and many others like him that creates a certain magic. We have family visiting us and so have to take in the sights, we only live an hour from Green Bay and so they decided to take in the some of the Packer experience. Walking the hallowed turf of Lambeau Field, walking down memory lane in the Packer Hall of Fame, and no trip is complete without a stop at the Packer Pro Shop and lunch at Curlys Pub. All in all a good time was had by Tim, my brother Fred, and my brother in law Dan. Keep us in mind for your next trip to Lambeau Field, and make us part of your destination!
