Lamu, Kenya (CNN) -- In many ways, it seems like time has given Lamu a wide berth. The East African island, perched placidly off Kenya's coast, is home to one of the oldest continuously inhabited Swahili towns -- an ethnic group in East Africa who have lived here for more than 700 years. There are no cars on the island -- the streets are too narrow and winding. Instead, locals rely on donkeys for transport on the land, and dhows to travel throughout the archipelago. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lamu was once the most important international trade center in East Africa -- as is evidenced by the Arab, Indian, Persian and European influences in the local architecture. The most Swahili feature, however, is the use of coral stone, which reigns supreme throughout the island. Not only is coral stone strong, it's a few degrees cooler than cement, making it an ideal building resource in a region known for its sweltering heat. @highlight Lamu is one of the oldest continuously inhabited Swahili towns @highlight There are no cars on the island -- the streets are too narrow and winding @highlight Instead, locals rely on donkeys for transport on the land, and dhows to travel throughout the archipelago

Entering Tuesday, @placeholder residents braced for the worst from a storm that has already caused considerable devastation as it headed north from the Caribbean.

(CNN) -- After churning through the Caribbean and chugging up the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Isaac made landfall over southeastern Louisiana on Tuesday night -- bringing with it sustained winds of 80 mph and torrential, stinging rains. According to the National Hurricane Center, the storm's center moved over land in Plaquemines Parish at 6:45 p.m. (7:45 p.m. ET) -- one day before the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which left nearly 1,800 dead and caused billions of dollars worth of damage along the Gulf Coast. Isaac's eye then "wobbled westward" and moved back over Gulf waters, and by 10 p.m. CT was centered about 75 miles southeast of Houma, Louisiana -- all while keeping its strength as it lashed those onshore. @highlight NEW: Storm surges of over 10 feet are reported in Shell Beach, Louisiana @highlight NEW: Isaac's eye is 75 miles from New Orleans, but the city has been impacted already @highlight Around 220,000 Entergy Louisiana customers don't have power @highlight The storm may get even stronger as it moves inland, the hurricane center says

If @placeholder's enemies think that we are shrinking away from crises, that rhetoric and nonintervention are now our standard operating procedure, that would indeed be worrisome.

North Korea is dangerously close to crossing a line. Not the line that leads to a missile attack on the United States, but the one that separates being a rogue state from being a parody of a rogue state. Pyongyang's bluster is as comical as its nuclear threats are implausible. This does not mean the United States should take the threats lightly. As Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has explained, when a country with a big army and nuclear weapons starts getting reckless, it is irresponsible to dismiss the possibility that it would actually do something insanely self-destructive. But the bigger concern has to do with why North Korea is rattling its saber. The reason may reflect more on the United States than we care to acknowledge. @highlight David Rothkopf: Pyongyang's bluster comical and implausible, but it must be taken seriously @highlight He says enemies may mistakenly believe U.S. caution on intervention means it's "soft" @highlight He says more often than not, U.S. posture is policy, but testing resolve would be error @highlight Rothkopf: Obama has shown that when threat is most urgent he does not hesitate to act

"While the worst of the last few storms is behind us, there still is a significant threat from thundershowers that are forming off the coast," @placeholder said at a news conference Thursday night, warning of the potential for lightning, hail and water spouts.

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Rain pounded water-logged Los Angeles on Thursday, and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said more than 300 city residents were ordered to evacuate because of the threat of mudslides. "We continue to urge the public who live in these areas to evacuate, to heed the warnings of our police officers and firefighters, our first responders, who are there to protect your public safety," the mayor said. Just over 500 Los Angeles County residents who were advised to flee their homes earlier had done so by Thursday morning, said Capt. Sam Padilla of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. @highlight Just over 500 Los Angeles County residents also were evacuated @highlight Mudslides a serious threat to areas near hills stripped of vegetation by wildfires @highlight Snow closes roads in mountain areas of Southern California

NEW YORK (CNN) -- After declaring last week that he won't publicly discuss his sexual relationships with staffers again, David Letterman continued his mea culpa Monday night -- saying his wife had been "horribly hurt by my behavior." David Letterman has mined private events in his life for very public jokes on his show. The host of CBS' "Late Show" said he now has to try to repair his relationship with Regina Lasko. "Either you're going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you're going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed, so let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me," he told the audience. @highlight "I got my work cut out for me," David Letterman says of his marriage @highlight His mea culpa marks first public comments since last week's 'sextortion' revelations @highlight During the show, Letterman said he spent the weekend "raking my hate mail" @highlight A CBS producer is accused of threatening Letterman unless he was paid $2M

The casting of @placeholder is all about the cuteness factor.

(CNN) -- A visit to the whirlpool tub cool-down zone signals the endgame for Sunday's Super Bowl competitors. But for the furry beasts of the annual Puppy Bowl, a jump in the water pit means the competition for cuteness has only just begun. Prime time is playtime for the scamps who have provided alternative programming to America's biggest sports viewing experience for nine years. According to Animal Planet, the 12-hour Puppy Bowl marathon drew 8.7 million viewers last year. The broadcast's overload of adorable has included "cheerleaders" of various species; hamsters "flying" in the blimp over the Puppy Bowl stadium; Meep the bird, who, naturally, tweets from the sidelines (he got 21,000 followers on Twitter during last year's Puppy Bowl); and even a hairless Chinese Crested "streaker" puppy. @highlight 12 hours of frolicking puppies is Animal Planet's Super Bowl counter-programming @highlight Slow-mo cute cams and cameras stuck in squeaky toys aim to capture the cute @highlight Instead of rooting for a Puppy Bowl team, viewers can root for an MVP
