Santa Claus is waiting for you in this breath-taking winter palace. Enjoy a Christmas you'll never forget on holidays to Lapland.
Wrap up warm as you travel to northern Finland where the winters drop to double minus figures but the trip out to this winter arctic tundra is definitely worth it. Family holidays to Lapland let kids experience the full wonder of Santa's workshop complete with elves and reindeer.
The Christmas themes are just some of perks of visiting this snowy spectacle. You can take shelter in accommodation of bed and breakfast hotels or peaceful log cabins, try out a range of winter sports or look up at the shimmering lights of the aurora borealis.
There are plenty of other reasons to visit Lapland away from the Christmas themes. The land remains wintery from October until May making this the best time to try out a range of snowy activities.
Big and small slopes are easily found for skiing and sledging. You can head out on a dogsled ride where huskies pull you through a beautiful winter landscape complete with snow-kissed trees and miles of hills that look like a blank canvas.
During the winter, daylight in Lapland can last as long as four hours from 10am-2pm. This won't be a disappointment though as the extended dark gives you a better chance to witness the aurora borealis, more commonly known as the Northern Lights. The amazing and natural light show sees glimmering greens dance across the night sky. You can find your own natural area to view it or take a Northern Lights tour where guides will take you to some of the best spots.
There are fun activities for families to enjoy around Lapland at night with reindeer pulled sleigh rides being a true winter wonderland experience.
Lapland encompasses a number of small towns within and the city of Rovaniemi is Lapland's capital. This town offers nightspots for families to settle into and others where adults can unwind.
Within the capital there is a range of terrific restaurants as well as pubs and bars. Club Life and Karaoke Bar, Oliver's Corner & Nightclub and the Doris Nightclub invite in all 18 an over visitors in from the cold to the warmth of their respective dancefloors.
There are plenty of opportunities to pick up a Christmas souvenir or two while on holiday in Lapland. The Finnish baubles, lights and crackers make great decorations that can be used for Christmases to come.
Lapland is the English name for this region, it is locally known as Sápmi and there are opportunities to take home some Sami culture with you. Locally made rugs and bags are sold in SusiVilla while the Sampokeskus Shopping Centre is filled with a range of clothing options.
Each of the restaurants across Lapland hold a warm, cosy atmosphere inside, tempting you in from the cold. Places like Santa's Salmon Place are found in small snow covered huts with a crackling fire burning by the tables inside.
Scandinavian cuisine often presents seafood on the menu - a result of the popularity of ice-fishing in the region. There is a range of international flavours available though at restaurants, cafes and bars across Lapland. Wooden cabin surroundings at the Arctic Boulevard, Kotahovi and Santamus provide delicious local foods as well as traditional choices.
Direct flights from the UK to Lapland will take around three and a half hours with layovers in Scandinavian countries increasing the time considerably.
The capital Rovaniemi is just a 10 minute drive away from Santa Claus Village so it is easy to travel between the two by taxi. There is also the option to hire a car here.
There are a couple of popular bus services that run through the towns and snow resorts of Finland. They are regular and reliable so can also help you get around to see the sites.
Lapland remains whitewashed each year between October and early May. This is the time to fly here and experience the Christmas themes and enjoy the range of snowy activities. The average temperatures here can be challengingly cold so remember to wrap up in multiple layers.
Starting at 0°C from October, the temperatures plummet to -12°C in January. The daylight is restricted to around four or five hours a day in the winter too but does present fantastic opportunities to witness the Northern Lights.

Show synopsis
In the years after the Soviet Union imploded, the United States was described first as the globes lone superpower, then as reluctant sheriff, next as the indispensable nation, and, in the wake of 9/11, as a New Rome. In this important and bestselling book, Chalmers Johnson explores the new militarism that is transforming America and compelling its people to pick up the burden of empire.

Outstanding. A good read on the state of American Impirealism
This book is a must read for anyone who thinks they know the United States and what we are all about. Well documented, but not your typical history book.

After 3+ years, Fratelli Lyon says farewell
Ken Lyon bids Design District farewell as he expands his catering biz
Open since 2008, Fratelli Lyon, the stylish Italian eatery from Miami catering veteran Ken Lyon, has closed and will make way for Dena Marino's MC Kitchen. But it's not over for Lyon, not even close. "At Fratelli Lyon, there was a distinctive difference in 'vision' between myself and other partners. Fratelli Lyon was a great concept, something I was very proud of developing - we are currently looking for another location.We are so grateful to the public support, especially for the first 3-years while I was there."
Lyon adds that his eponymous catering company is "booming," and will be offering his clients a "Fratelli Lyon" menu special for the summer. "Since our customers can't come to Fratelli Lyon, we will come to them!" he says. In addition to being at the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach for over 8 years, Lyon also tells us that soon there will be "very interesting things to come for us at the Wolfsonian-FIU" in the fall. We'll keep you posted.

Chocolate lovers of the world, unite. Share a dark-chocolate bar with your sweetheart to celebrate Valentine's Day on Tuesday. While munching away, ponder how the idea of tailoring your eating habits to your own profile, much like tailoring a music list on an iPod, could be the next big thing in health care.
The health benefits of dark chocolate are well established: Those who eat 3.5 ounces a day have lower cholesterol and blood pressure, which are factors in heart health. But it isn't as simple as consuming any old chocolate bar, or eating to your heart's content.
So says David Agus, an oncologist and researcher and the author of a new book, The End of Illness, that has already hit the best-seller lists. Although Agus likes the idea of eating foods like chocolate for positive effect, the problem is that chocolate is a high-calorie, high-fat food, and thus calories may have to be cut by eating less of something else.
Heartening: Dark chocolate may enhance health, but the answer isn't as simple as eating a bar a day, says one doctor. William Waitzman for Barron's
"The complexity of this isn't understood," says Agus, noting that there are many variables involved, including how to define chocolate, and the specific effect it has on the individual.
Indeed, Agus calls his book a "manifesto" to change the thinking about health to a more systemic view from a more targeted view, and for individuals to become more aware of their own health data. (Agus also co-founded a genetic-testing company.)
Moreover, Agus hopes people on social networks will take up the cause of preventive health care to change behavior. Says he: "We need to demand an end to illness," where prevention is paramount.

Low prices dent Rural Equities earnings
Relevant offers
Financial Results
Lower milk, sheep and wool prices pushed farm-owning group Rural Equities' operating earnings for year to June 30 down to $2.9 million from $5.1m in the previous year.
However, directors said they were pleased with the operating performance as the group's six dairy farms achieved record milk production.
The group said that total comprehensive income for the 2012 financial year was $15.8m, up from $3.3m in the year to June 30, 2011.
The substantial increase reflected growth in the value of the group's rural property portfolio.
The June 30 valuation of the property portfolio increased by $14.3m over the prior year. Of the group's 29 properties, 14 are located in Canterbury, where valuations increased considerably.
"The Canterbury farm valuations increased on average by 14.9 per cent while the remaining farm valuations increased by 2.7 per cent," Rural Equities executive chairman David Cushing said.
"This reflects the particularly strong rural real estate market in that province and resulted in the group's total assets being in excess of $200m."
Rural Equities is New Zealand's only publicly traded rural land ownership company and was spun out of North Island-based Williams & Kettle in a reconstruction in 2004.
Net asset value per share as at June 30, 2012 was $4.47, a 13.2 per cent increase from $3.95 as at June 30, 2011.
A fully imputed dividend of 5 cents per share would be paid to shareholders. The dividend record date will be November 16 and the payment date will be November 28.
During the year the company's directors undertook a strategic review of the group's rural property portfolio recognising that it had been held largely unchanged for ten years.
Following that review, four properties that were owned for more than 22 years have been sold or have unconditional sale contracts in place.
One block of the Waimahaka property, near the Manawatu Gorge, and the Ngaruawahia forest block were settled prior to 30 June 2012.
Ernsdale in South Canterbury, Cedars in Mid Canterbury and the other Waimahaka block would settle during the financial year ending June 30, 2013, Cushing said.
Gross proceeds from the sale of these four properties would be $17.9m.
"Rural Equities directors were pleased with progress made following the strategic review which has enhanced the overall quality of the portfolio," Cushing said.
"The group's strategy, to invest in properties within the portfolio, continues."
During the year a $1m capital expenditure project was completed at the Rocklea dairy farm in Canterbury.
"Three centre pivot spray irrigators replaced the border dyke system," Cushing said.
"The benefits of this irrigation conversion are already significant with Rocklea forecasted to produce an additional 60,000 kilograms of milk solids, a 25 per cent increase, over the next two years."
Cushing said Rural Equities was in a strong position with its portfolio of rural properties and low debt levels.

A woman testified Tuesday that her former boyfriend, Rodrickous Jeroski Hodges, stabbed her and a female friend repeatedly after she told him she no longer wanted to see him.
In the incident Dec. 17 at 3700 4th Ave., Ueronica Watkins said Hodges "flipped out" and told her, "If I can't have you, nobody can have you."
General Sessions Court Judge Lila Statom bound two counts of attempted first-degree murder to the Grand Jury against Hodges.
She said the two victims "are only alive today because the police arrived very quickly."
Judge Statom set a total $1 million bond for the 21-year-old Hodges.
Ms. Watkins said Hodges had been stalking her after she broke it off in early December. She said she told him she had moved out of town. She said on Dec. 17 they argued on the phone and then Hodges showed up at her apartment around 11 p.m.
She said they continued to argue after he pushed his way in. She said it appeared he had been drinking and smoking marijuana.
The witness said Hodges became angry and began choking her. She said he also hit her in the face with his fists and hit her in the head with a wine bottle.
She said she had called 911 soon after he arrived and she
Ms. Watkins said after friend Destinee Jackson stopped by she was able to get outside the apartment. She said Hodges later followed them both back inside. He then stabbed her seven times in the chest and once in the leg. She said her lungs collapsed several times and she was in the hospital for 10 days.
Ms. Jackson said she stopped by after work "to chit chat."
She said after she knocked on the door, she saw Hodges peering out a window, then he locked the door. Then she said Ms. Watkins came outside, telling her, "Please help me."
After they were all inside, she said Hodges began attacking both of them with steak knives that were in the apartment. Police said two broken knives were found on the floor and a third one with blood on it was found under his jacket on a dryer.
Police said Hodges admitted stabbing the women. He said he had been drinking.

Could those who did not heed Johnson's complaints of being paralyzed be charged with involuntary manslaughter?
Southeastern WI owes Disability Rights and Barbara Beckert a debt of gratitude for their advocacy on this.
Thank goodness for dedication & commitment of DRW.. steadfast to their mission... to be the voice of those who cannot be heard amid the prattle of bureaucracy. Face it, for years, County has rescripted its mission & programs w/ catch phrases of the day. It might sound good, maybe capture some funding, but it's just noisy chatter, in the absence of meaningful action. Its not rocket science - this structure is shrieking for a framework of mgt. that believes in transformation, demands it, supports it & celebrates it beyond sounding spiffy in reports. Policy makers need to be saturated in knowledge of what it is, before they set deadlines, regulate. Now, it's akin to putting up holiday decorations in a dirty house.New programs, old ones, resurrected, imagined differently - ain't gonna make one lick of good, if it is maintained within the same old same old. Quick hit and run trainings. color wristbands,color coded cards in the chart won't teach the staff how to be respectful,How to listen, how to relate to people. The State signed off on their plan of correction - how can they monitor, if they felt the human rights aspect could be covered by a pocket checklist, reminding people to listen? Who will remind the offenders to take the card out of their pocket to read it? I'm startled by County Exec's reaction. DRW isn't in place to become BFF's with you. Their purpose is to amplify the voices that were not heard by your system of CARE. To help you understand what really matters,Mr. Abele! Surely, Brandon's voice died while living when he spoke for himself. imagine how other patients were traumatized by witnessing this disregard. Are the right people in charge? We need to clean house, then rennovate with education; discover the champions, & elevate them.help the policy makers become capable. Mr. Abele, don't be hatin' the messengers. Be glad they helped you become aware. people matter.
our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter
martin luther king, jr.
"We don't solve anything with rash actions with decisions absent the facts" (CA)
That is absolutely true; imagine the harsh reality Brandon experienced when his physical concerns were generalized to be a figment of his psychiatric illness? The decision to ignore him went on day after day. Imagine how that impacted the other patients & others who had to bear witness to this man's pain? Not only does it not solve anything, ignorance makes things worse. Rash is the perfect word. We should all be allergic to this way of doing. When we become aware of injustice or harm occurring - as members of humanity, we have a moral obligation to act.
"they should have contacted the county before calling on the state to step in"
The county was called - many times by many people; DRW, MHTF, & others asked for help understanding how something like this occurred within the framework of a Quest for Recovery.
"a hasty license revocation would put patients in jeopardy."
DRW is an advocacy agency designed to empower and enhance lives. Decisions are made after research is conducted by trained staff, familiar with person centered, trauma informed care; by professionals who are committed to welcoming people and taking the time to understand their experience. The State and Feds put the word jeopardy on the table.
They found that the lives of human beings from our community were in harms way, as a result of this system of CARE. This County needs higher standards; the lone threat is to business as usual?
Nothing changes if nothing changes-So instead of reacting, how about transforming the system in a meaningful way; make it a priority to listen to peoples stories; HHN-give more than 2 min.; learn to create policy & structure that supports positive change. It's a continuous commitment to quality improvement. Become a change agent.
They said the patients would be transfered to other facilities, WHAT other facilities? I hope its not Rogers. The only treatment they have there are drugging their patients till they are walking zombies. BTW who is going to pay for all of this??? Where was the family when this person was confined to a geriatric chair for days on end? They were real quick to secure an ambulane chaser but not so quick to see their loved one.
Looking forward to when government runs all healthcare.
"voidwhereprohibited", "DON'T BE HATING" !!, well said, well written, you must be a mps grad!
"A hasty license revocation would put patients in jeopardy, Abele said."
So just turn lose on the streets if that's what these do-gooders want, but how is that in the best interest of the patients and community?
DRW is to be applauded for taking the steps it has taken. It is ludicrous that County Executive Abele thinks that DRW needs to contact him or consult with him regarding this matter as DRW is the agency that protects the rights of people living with a disability. His comment that if any staff person acted inappropriately, they would be held accountable, is also disturbing as it is clearly documented that staff said this human being was faking his illness. This is a pattern of abuse that has gone on for years at this institution. DRW's action is more than justified and greatly supported by people who live with a mental health diagnosis. People say they would rather die than go to that institution. That is a sad and scary statement to hear. There have been 6 deaths at this place this year alone. There have been sexual assaults at this institution. How much more evidence does the Federal and State government need? How many more deaths or assaults are needed? I support DRW's action 100% and thank them for taking this action. DRW has offered several possible options for consideration. Barbara Beckert's dedication to those who have no voice is deeply appreciated. Her staff's work is deeply appreciated. How the Mental Health Complex holds so much power in this city amazes me and angers me. Ask yourself--would you want your loved one to go to this place for care? You can put all the "window dressings" on the place...but you can't teach basic human compassion and kindness to human beings. Oh...that's the problem there...they don't see them as human beings. There are some good staff there...time for them to step up and speak up. Thank you Barbara Beckert and DRW staff for your courage and for seeing that people living with a mental illness are not "throw aways". Time for this place to close, start over with a smaller facility and put the largest chunk of monies into community-based services. No more deaths and no more assaults at this horrible place!
I'm sorry, but when i see a headling with John CHisolm and the word John Doe, it just makes me laugh. what a joke. hahahaHide replies
The funny thing is....after the past 2 and a half year witch hunt, they lose some credibility. That's all. His whole office signs a petition, then goes on to try to destroy a man because they did not like the fact he made them pay a small pittance for their health insurance and pension.
You owe Mr. Chisholm and all veterans an apology.
"Timothy D. Russell, a former aide to Gov. Scott Walker, pleaded guilty Thursday to embezzling more that $21,000 from a nonprofit group that raised money for veterans......"
Nardelli, not Walker, reported Russell to the D.A. back in 2009. Walker ignored Nardelli's warning and continued to employ Russell as his Deputy Chief of Staff. It was AFTER Nardelli reported Russell to the D.A. that Walker appointed him in to "Operation Freedom." Gov. Walker cannot claim he didn't know that there were serious concerns about Russell.
"If you can't do the time, don't do the crime."
sorry john boy...you owe me an apology for asking for an apology. You did not address what I wrote wh ich was truth. TilScot walker did that didpicable act of taking from a veterans group. He was conictd and is paying the price for his crime. In case you hid in a cave the past 2 years plus, the DA's office, which has a TON of people who signed the petition to oust Mr. Walker have found NOTHING on Mr.Walker. Mr. Walker..can you read...i said Mr. Walker. I did not say a thing about Mr. Russell. dip dung. I was referring to the witch hunt and the DA's office is a joke on this matter, imo.
Russell, not Walker did that dispicable act.

Fifty years ago, on June 1, 1961, John Holbrook was named the "Outstanding Athlete of the Year" at Manteca Union High School. The award was made at the school's annual awards assembly.

Tavern Uptown
In an atmosphere that feels more like a living room than a tavern (think comfy couches, a stone fireplace, and plasma TVs), sit back and relax.
In an atmosphere that feels more like a living room than a tavern (think comfy couches, a stone fireplace, and plasma TVs), sit back and relax.
If you can't decide from the amazing sushi menu, try one of the combos that feature eight kinds of sushi. Don't forget to try the famed Thai Pearl iced tea.
This premier wine bar boasts more than 100 wines by the glass. Come for the wine, but stay for the tapas. Certified sommeliers offer wine paring with a variety of high-end tapas, including Colorado Elk.
Based on the "Forrest Gump" movie, this restaurant is earnest in its Americana. Try a variety of Southern recipes, including Dixie-style ribs.
Enjoy Lebanese and Persian cuisine. Try the Kobeideh, a kabob made with beef, lamb, onion, and tomato.
Choose from 50 Belgian and domestic microbrews on tap at this cozy old world pub. You'll still have to decide which of the four savory sauces, from marinara to cajun, you'd like on your mussels.
The decor complements the Lebanese and Persian cuisine offered at this eatery. Try the shish kebabs.
It's been dubbed Sushi Den II, but Izakaya Den is more than a replica of its popular cousin. You can still order ultrafresh sushi and sashimi, but the most exciting dishes come in the form of small plates.
Denver's first military-themed restaurant. Rations include burgers, wraps, and plenty of beer. Live music on select nights.
Relax with a beer and a steak or choose from other tasty favorites such as salmon or fried chicken after a tough round of 18.

Imagine this: an 8 mile "race" that on March 22, drew 1300+ runners from "everywhere" to St John. So what's the catch? This is THE meet for the annual toughest, most grueling race around. Trust me, there's even a group from Ohio who make this an annual "must do" event as well as a group dressed in unitards - head to toe and covered fingers - gear that looks like Who-ville or Thing One and Thing Two outfits in bright blue, orange, purple and red. Anyway, I've driven the 8 mile route from Cruz Bay to Coral Bay and trust me … it is crazy non-stop up-down "hills", more like mountains, with hairpin turns and breathtaking views if you've got enough oxygen coursing through your brain to notice. This year, at the 2nd mile mark, runners were hit with a wall of torrential rain that made the course that much more challenging … by the time the first runner (#7) crossed the finish line (in under an hour!) his back side was covered in splattered mud, a scene repeated by all the runners who followed. "Our" runner turned in a personal best and came in under an hour in 17th place!!! What a race! What an event to attend and cheer on the runners! What an event (for someone else) to compete in!!! Mark your calendars for next year's race - it's a hoot!

Mediatech and Rapak entered into a business agreement for the exclusive marketing and sale of aseptic filling equipment and filling glands, including Rapak's Intasept® sterile systems.
The Intasept technology was designed for bioprocess containers used in large-scale production of drugs and biologics. Each bioprocess container has a 16mm Intasept gland. The gland features two laminated barrier membranes, which allows interface sterilization and resealing without removing the bag from the filling head, according to Rapak officials.
The Intasept Model 2416M Filler is just one of the Rapak filling machines offered by Mediatech. The fill glands and adapters are sold in conjunction with the sterile filling machines.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Eighty-six percent of European employers have cut or frozen spending on skills and training in the last 12 months despite a continued concern over skills shortages, according to new research by Accanture commissioned by the Federation of Enterprises in Belgium (FEB) for the European Business Summit 2012.
The survey of 500 senior decision makers from European businesses, government agencies, and civil society organizations reveals that only 18 percent of companies and bodies plan to increase spending on skills and training over the next 12 months. Yet, 43 percent of them currently face at least moderate skills shortages, and 72 percent of respondents say Europe's businesses, policymakers and, civil society organizations need to increase investment in this area.
"There's a double paradox in that European businesses are cutting back on skills development at the very time when they should invest more; and skills shortages are persisting in spite of a very large pool of unused talent here and across the world," said Mark Spelman, managing director of strategy for Accenture.
The Accenture report, "Turning the Tide: How Europe Can Rebuild Skills and Generate Growth," analyzes three key challenges of Europe's skills markets that can be addressed through solutions built on improved insight and collaboration:
Untapped pool of talent:Employers are not sufficiently exploiting the available skills of many of Europe's 25 million unemployed people or the additional 15 million who would like to work but who have withdrawn from the labor force owing to a lack of opportunity (including older people, mothers, and youths). For example, 67 percent of decision makers surveyed think that employers undervalue the skills of older age groups.
Poor labor mobility: While 47 percent of organizations surveyed admit they utilize the skills available within their country to a great or significant extent, this figure falls to 28 percent for those exploiting the wider European labor market.
A lack of collaboration between sectors: While almost two-thirds of respondents agree that Europe's skills challenges can only be solved through collaborative solutions between multiple stakeholders, only 29 percent collaborate with other organizations in their sector and just 18 percent with those in other sectors.
Among the report's key recommendations for employers, policymakers, educational organizations and other groups are the following:
Actions for employers
Actions for policymakers
According to Spelman, "Short term economic needs and the increasing pace of industrial change means that Europe must build an adaptable, transparent, and connected skills ecosystem. This can only be achieved by bringing together business, government and educational groups in ways that can anticipate changing market needs as well as react intelligently to them. Policymakers will play a critical role in enabling this collaboration and removing some of the structural barriers from Europe's skills market."

Advertising Watchdog Sees Big Jump In Green Ad Complaints
The UK's Advertising Standards Authority has released its Annual Report 2007 (PDF).
The ASA says it dealt with record numbers of complaints about environmental claims as advertisers increasingly sought to promote their 'green' credentials. Complaints about environmental claims more than doubled year on year with 556 complaints about 408 ads.
Claims that products and services were carbon "neutral" or "zero" or "negative" were particularly open to challenge, as were statements about CO2 emissions or absolute claims such as "100% recycled" or "wholly sustainable."
Claims about carbon emissions and green tariffs were among those most likely to confuse consumers, but terms such as "sustainable" and "food miles" were also misunderstood.
During the year, a series of rulings by the ASA set benchmarks for all advertisers to follow, according to the report. Shell's press ad depicting industrial chimneys emitting flowers instead of smoke was ruled to be misleading because it implied that Shell used at least the majority of their waste CO2 to grow flowers, whereas the actual amount was a very small proportion when compared to the global activities of Shell.
Another ruling, against Ryanair, judged the claim in one of the airline's ads that aviation accounts for just 2% of emissions to be misleading.
Lexus' headline claim in a magazine ad "High Performance. Low Emissions. Zero Guilt" was ruled misleading because the text in the ad which clarified the claim was not prominent enough and the claim "Zero Guilt" implied the car caused ittle or no harm to the environment.

Widespread hypocrisy about nanotechnology?
Is nanotechnology a ground breaking powerful new technology? Or is it neither new nor really a singular technology? We are told that it heralds "the next industrial revolution". Will its effects be revolutionary? Or familiar and incremental? Is nanotechnology's development inevitable? Or precarious? Are its implications nothing to be afraid of? Or are they so profound as to give cause for alarm? Does nanotechnology raise important new ethical issues or not?
Australian ethicist Dr Robert Sparrow from the Centre for Human Bioethics at Monash University claims that widespread hypocrisy about nanotechnology is a worrying sign and he provides a detailed new critique of the contradictions inherent in the emerging debate about nanotechnology in an essay that is posted on the Friends of the Earth website.

Thanks for not calling it Sacr3d.
This new Sacred game features online (four players) and offline (two players) co-op, which will probably be its main draw when it releases on August 5 for PS3, 360, PC. Plus, your homies' voices can drown out those badly acted, hokey combat barks from the trailer.

Central Michigan (2-1) pulled within 31-29 on Ryan Radcliff's 13-yard TD throw to Titus Davis. The Chippewas failed on the two-point conversion, but they recovered an onside kick and moved to Iowa's 30-yard line in part because of a personal foul on the Hawkeyes (2-2).
FINAL: Mark Weisman's 218 rushing yards and three touchdowns weren't enough to lead Iowa to victory as the Hawkeyes fell 32-31 to Central Michigan on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.
Trailing 31-29, Central Michigan recovered an onside kick with 45 seconds to go after an odd sequence. After the ball blew off the tee twice, the Chippewas tried their first onside kick but did not recover the ball. However, Central Michigan was called for a delay of game on that first kickoff play. And so the Chippewas had to kick it again, an the second time they recovered it.
With the wind at their back, Central Michigan's offense then drove late and attempted a career-long 47-yard field goal for kicker David Harman. After an Iowa timeout to freeze the kicker, Harman made the kick with three seconds to go.
The Chippewas and Iowa traded the lead all game long. There were six lead changes in the game before Central Michigan ended up on top for good.
Ryan Radcliff and Titus Davis had a passing connection going, as Davis racked up 74 yards and two touchdowns on five catches en route to a win for the Chippewas.
Home run plays keyed Central Michigan's scoring attack. The Hawkeyes' defense gave up four plays of at least 20 yards. With 14:09 to go in the fourth quarter, Zurlon Tipton rushed 32 yards for the Chippewas' biggest gain of the game. Despite the highlight, Central Michigan failed to score on that drive, which stalled at the Chippewas' own 39-yard line.
Iowa's James Vandenberg was good for 213 yards during the game, completing 16 of 25 passes. Vandenberg finished the game with one touchdown and no interceptions. Keenan Davis was a key target for Vandenberg. He hauled in six catches for 88 yards.
The Hawkeyes racked up 428 total yards. In addition to Vandenberg's efforts through the air, Iowa also rushed 28 times for 215 yards.
Radcliff threw for 282 yards while completing 26 of 34 passes for Central Michigan. Radcliff finished the game with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Radcliff had a good connection with receiver Cody Wilson. He hauled in eight catches for 106 yards.
The Chippewas' offense finished the game having gained 392 yards. Central Michigan complemented Radcliff's passing with 110 yards rushing on 34 attempts.
