Each
year shortly after the Logan County Fair, some
of the animals that were exhibited in the junior
livestock shows are taken to Atlanta, where they
are entered in a carcass judging. Gracie Griesheim,
in the picture on the left, was this year's
winner in the
pork carcass class. Gracie is pictured with
University of Illinois meat judges Ben Peterson
and Hunter Galloway. Emma Ritterbush,
pictured at right, took first place in the
beef carcass.

The
shell of a burned-out car is seen in a neighborhood of
Amiens, France, on Tuesday. Dozens of young
men rioted in a troubled district in northern France
after weeks of tensions, pulling drivers from their cars
and stealing the vehicles, and burning a school and a
youth center. The police department in Amiens says at
least 16 officers were hurt by the time the riot ended
Tuesday, some by buckshot.

Viewers were seeing
red after NBC cut away from its coverage of the Olympics closing
ceremony to hype a sitcom featuring a monkey. After the
previously scheduled preview of "Animal Practice" aired at 11
p.m. Sunday, followed by local news, NBC returned at
midnight to finish with an eight-minute medley by The Who. Then host Bob Costas delivered an Olympics postscript before
signing off after just 35 minutes in all.
Twitter lit up with complaints. Disgruntled viewer Nina L.
Diamond seemed to speak for many. She tweeted that, thanks to
this kind of monkey business, NBC has made itself even less
popular than Congress. Meanwhile, viewers feeling duped
might have noted a musical omission by The Who, which skipped
this classic hit: "Won't Get Fooled Again."
Pictured: The Who singer Roger Daltrey
and guitarist Pete Townshend perform during the
closing ceremony at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
The Olympia High School wrestling team
participated in the 2012 Luther College Team Wrestling Camp in Decorah, Iowa. Campers at the 2012 camps participated in team-building activities, intensive
"Train Like a Norseman" sessions, technique sessions and live wrestling
sessions.
Camp participants from the Olympia wrestling team included
(left to right) TJ Peters, Liam O'Rourke, Rook Kassabaum, Caleb Yeazle, lley
Markham and Luke Donovan. Row 2: counselor Fransisco Rueda, Garrett Kelson,
