The plan: Six teams in four days in three cities, with an eye toward the NL Central race. Go forth and explore baseball country, the editor said, and then he used a bunch of words that East Coasters like to invoke when talking about the Midwest, like "Americana" and "heartland" and "cheese curds." I told him I would do my best. </description><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 04:58:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>More storms thrash Wisconsin as Ohio cleans up</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/27/flooding.ap/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/27/flooding.ap/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Another round of thunderstorms brought more rain and a flash-flood warning to an already deluged southwestern Wisconsin on Monday, forcing residents below four dams to evacuate.</description><pubDate>Tue, 28 Aug 2007 12:29:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>A gift that will help your kids grow rich</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2007/08/23/pf/money_life_september/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2007/08/23/pf/money_life_september/index.htm</guid><description>Around this time each year, as the graduation season winds down and the wedding season goes into full gear, I get a lot of questions along the following lines: "Do you know of a good gift for my niece/son/goddaughter who just got engaged/got married/ graduated from law school/landed that first job?"</description><pubDate>Tue, 28 Aug 2007 01:03:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>25 dead as storms collide in Midwest, Plains</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/22/midwest.flooding/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/22/midwest.flooding/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Two storm systems colliding along the nation's midsection set off a spate of weather warnings from Colorado to Ohio as the deadly combination moved toward the Great Lakes on Wednesday.</description><pubDate>Thu, 23 Aug 2007 06:14:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>At least 4 killed after foot of rain floods upper Midwest</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/19/flooding.ap/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/19/flooding.ap/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Severe storms deluged parts of the upper Midwest during the night with as much as a foot of rain, causing flooding that washed away bridges and roads and killed at least four people, authorities said Sunday.</description><pubDate>Mon, 20 Aug 2007 02:33:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Wildfires throughout history</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/30/historic.wildfires/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/30/historic.wildfires/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Wildfires have long been feared for their potentially devastating impact on the landscape and people's lives.

Miller Lite tap in the kitchen, poker room in the basement, John Belushi poster on the TV room wall and -- everyone's favorite -- padded red bra hanging from the antlers of a six-point trophy buck. "I was just doing laundry one day, and it snuck its way into my clothes," Badgers defensive back Ben Strickland says mischievously while watching Pardon the Interruption from the depths of a recliner. In Thomas's room upstairs, his laptop rests on homemade legs: four rolls of toilet paper. In the backyard there's a hot tub, a hammock and a couch. The best in late-night college carryout is within stumbling distance on Madison's busy streets.</description><pubDate>Tue, 17 Apr 2007 14:05:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Regional Breakdown: Midwest</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/ncaa/specials/ncaa_tourney/2007/03/12/midwest.region/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/ncaa/specials/ncaa_tourney/2007/03/12/midwest.region/index.html</guid><description>Underrated: Oregon   It was easy to dismiss the Ducks during the middle of the Pac-10 season when their defensive deficiencies were glaring and the losses piled up, but Ernie Kent's crew has righted the ship while adding even more weapons on the offensive end.

What's more, Maarty Leunen is just the sort of rebounding wide-body big man who'll make things tough for Notre Dame's Luke Harangody in Round 2 and Wisconsin's Brian Butch-less interior guys in Round 3.</description><pubDate>Mon, 12 Mar 2007 13:09:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Trading places</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/luke_winn/02/22/power.rankings/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/luke_winn/02/22/power.rankings/index.html</guid><description>In the search for a new No. 1, now that Florida and Wisconsin have fallen, the logical thing to do -- if you subscribe to the Coaches' poll's logic of "bumping" teams up the ranks -- would be to grant the throne to Ohio State.
