Ingredients
1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
3 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 (10 ounce) package frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
2 cups white chocolate chips
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
1.In a medium bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
2.In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil, and continue boiling 5 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds.
3.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring occasionally until smooth.
4.In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate. Pour half of batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan, and again spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over the top. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
5.Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.

Honda Motor Co. may face North America production delays of two to three months, a top official said Thursday.

John Mendel, American Honda Motor Co. executive vice president, told trade publication Automotive News the current time line for temporary shutdowns is between 60 and 90 days.

The automaker, which has its North American production headquarters in Marysville, began idling plants for short periods of time March 30 to conserve parts.

Since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Honda (NYSE: HMC) and other automakers have been hindered by damage both to their facilities and supplier operations. Rolling blackouts and damaged rail lines and highways continue to slow and stop vehicle and part production and shipping in the Asian nation.

Honda has more than 13,000 employees in Ohio. In the Dayton region, that includes 2,400 workers at its Anna engine plant, 1,050 workers at its Logan County transmission plant and 225 employees in Troy at a consolidation facility.

Honda is not alone in facing challenges in the aftermath of the massive earthquake.

Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE: TM) faces temporary production stoppages in North America.
The same goes for General Motors (NYSE: GM), which has said parts supply shortages are forcing it to reduce production at some of its North American facilities as well.

Some local auto dealers may be forced to deliver bad news to customers as Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) said it is facing a possible shortage of black and red colored vehicles – especially trucks and SUVs – because a paint ingredient used in those colors was manufactured in Japan and is in short supply.

Production cuts by automakers will likely be felt locally as it has operations in Troy, and the Dayton-area has dozens of suppliers to the auto industry. West Chester-based AK Steel Holding (NYSE: AKS) sells steel to many of the big automakers.

Other suppliers to the auto industry include Johnson Controls Inc. (NYSE: JCI), Magna International Inc. (NYSE: MGA) and Lear Corp. (NYSE: LEA).
