Happy Election Day!
I've recently become obsessed with CBC's radio app for the iPad. Do you know what that means? I've been listening to broadcasts from Inuvik, Goose Bay, Grand Falls. My husband thinks I'm weird. Oh well.
By the way, if I'm ever on Jeopardy!, I pray that there is no Bible category.
Great reviews, as usual. :)
Happy Election Day!
What about Tuktoyaktuk? :D
It's no weirder than watching a bunch of grown men chase around a ball.
No math category for me (I'd smote the shit out of the Bible category).
Thanks. :)
Dude, I got the Monday's Canada FJ wrong, the PEI one! And then I got the poetry one wrong tonight. Take away my honorary Canadian citizenship and my English teacher license!
So, I heard that Andrew Cash is now an MP. The heck?
Your review makes me want to go dust off my scrunchies.
Yeah, but most people, even Canadians, tend to forget that Newfoundland and Labrador are one in the same (I'm assuming you answered Nfld.), so don't be so hard on yourself.
I ran screaming from the room when I saw that the category was going to be poetry-related. ;)
The heck, indeed. Two members of the Toronto punk band L'Étranger are now Members of Parliament. Weird, wild stuff.
The Dusty Scrunchies could have been the name of my Nurse With Wound tribute band, but it isn't.
Oh, and speaking of dusting off retro fashions, did you hear? Doc Martens are trendy again. Yay!
I didn't realize that Doc Martens were ever untrendy!
Can you believe that Icehouse was in a Jeopardy clue? Very odd. I have to say that I'm liking the Teacher Tournament. (Maybe because I am one?)
From about 2000 'til sometime earlier this year, Doc Martens were nowhere to be found within the Queen West trendisphere. Their return was confirmed to me last Tuesday when I saw a woman wearing a pair of cherry docs (which matched perfectly with her jacket) in a subway station (I'd have to go as far back as 1990 to recall the last time I saw someone wearing docs that were cherry coloured) and then spotted another woman sporting a black pair on a streetcar moments later.
Again, it must have occurred during the early part of the show, 'cause I totally missed the Icehouse clue.
So, are you excited about Thor and Something Borrowed? ;)

Germ Warfare: How to Keep Your Kids Healthy
'Tis the season for colds, flu, and strep. Battle the nasty bugs and win with these smart, simple tips.
Living with Germs
Germs are everywhere, all of the time. During the warmer months we generally coexist peacefully with these microscopic organisms. (The hot sun helps kill germs.) But winter is another story. "Cold and flu viruses thrive in nasty weather," says Neil Schachter, M.D., professor of pulmonary medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and author of The Good Doctor's Guide to Colds and Flu (Collins). "Dropping temperatures also cause people to spend more time indoors with windows closed. This allows viruses and bacteria to build up."
Touching a contaminated object and then rubbing your nose or eyes is typically how you catch a cold. These viruses can live on surfaces for up to 24 hours. The flu, on the other hand, is transmitted by droplets of a sick person's sneeze or cough.
In addition, trillions of bacteria are all around you. Most are good bacteria. But some can make people very sick, with respiratory, strep, staph, and other infections. The good news is it doesn't take a lot of effort to steer clear of germs. Here's how.
The Hot Spots
Kitchen Sink & Counter
Believe it or not, the kitchen harbors more germs than your bathroom.
Bug-proof plan: Clean all surfaces, including faucet, with a disinfectant. Unlike antibacterial cleaners, disinfectants kill viruses as well as bacteria. Microwave the cleaning sponge for two minutes between each use.
"The door handle on the fridge is one of the most germ-ridden surfaces in the home," says Charles Gerba, Ph.D., professor at the University of Arizona.
Bug-proof plan: Wipe the handle daily with a spray disinfectant and give your fridge a thorough cleaning inside and out every three months.
Cutting Boards
Raw meat and produce can leave behind bacteria like E. coli and salmonella on food prep surfaces.
Bug-proof plan: Buy two different colored plastic boards. Use one for meat, the other for fruit and veggies. Wash with dish soap every time you cut something new, and toss the cutting boards in whenever you run the dishwasher.
"Bacteria can live on damp towels for seven days," says Gerba.
Bug-proof plan: Change hand towels every day. Switch over to paper towels anytime someone in the house is sick. Never share bath towels, and allow them to dry completely before reusing.
Bathroom Sink and Tub
Twenty-six percent of tubs contain staphylococcus aureus, a bacteria that can cause minor skin problems or serious illnesses, like pneumonia.
Bug-proof plan: Clean the sink and tub weekly with a bleach-based bath and tile cleaning product. Make sure bathrooms are ventilated so surfaces dry completely between uses.
The fecal bacteria in toilets can become airborne when you flush. Handles are contaminated with a variety of germs from dirty hands.
Bug-proof plan: Always close the lid before you flush. Give the inside and outside of the toilet bowl a weekly cleaning with a disinfectant that contains bleach.
Surprising Cootie Culprits
Public bathrooms are cleaned fairly often, so while you're wise to use your hip to push open stall doors and paper towels to manage handles and knobs, you're more likely to pick up the sniffles from other places in your daily travels. Pull out your handy antibacterial wipes when you're:
At the grocery store: How often do you think shopping cart handles are cleaned? Now try to imagine the number of people who use them each day while they are handling produce and packages of raw meat.
Using cashier pens: Pens provided to sign credit card purchases are "superb carriers of cold viruses," Dr. Schachter says, as are pens in doctors' offices and at the bank, and those offered by delivery people—so carry your own!
At the ATM and in the elevator: Press all buttons with a finger or knuckle that you're unlikely to use to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Better yet, use a key on your key ring or a pen from your bag.
Washing your hands: Unless the liquid hand soap in the public bathroom is in its own sealed bag (chances are it isn't), it's likely a breeding fiesta for bacteria. Rinse well with warm water and use your own hand sanitizer.
Hard (Cold) Facts
Why Can't They Cure the Common Cold?
The problem is there are hundreds of different cold viruses out there, and they are constantly changing. So while you can be vaccinated against the current strain of the flu, you'd have to line up and get about 200 or more anti-cold shots.
Kiss and Tell
Pushing an elevator button is more likely to make you sick than kissing your under-the-weather husband. Why? If someone sneezes into his hand before hitting the button, the virus-ridden fluid from his nose awaits you. Saliva, however, contains little, if any, cold virus, explains Dr. Schachter.
Keep Your Distance
Avoid close contact with people who have the flu, advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Droplets in sneezes and coughs can travel up to 6 feet.

Women's Studies Research Center celebrates women making music
Concert and talk honor 25th anniversary of Judith Tick's 'Women Making Music: The West Art Tradition 1150-1950'
The Women and Music Mix, a group of musician-scholars within the Women's Studies Research Center, in collaboration with numerous dignitaries of the Boston music scene, will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Judith Tick's groundbreaking anthology, "Women Making Music: The Western Art Tradition 1150-1950" on Sunday Feb. 3.
The day's events include a free 3:30 p.m. public talk by Judith Tick at the WSRC, Epstein Building (reservations are required and can be made by emailing email@example.com, and a 7:00 p.m. gala concert at Slosberg Recital Hall.
Tickets for the performance are $20; $15 seniors and Brandeis Community; $5 students and can be purchased by calling (781) 736-3400 or online at Brandeis Tickets.
The afternoon talk will feature Tick, a professor at Northeastern University and winner of the Deems Taylor Award from American Society of Composers and Publishers for her biography of composer Ruth Crawford Seeger, speaking on the legacy of women making music, and her recent work on Ella Fitzgerald, with accompanying music by Fitzgerald (performed by singer Claire Dickson with pianist Michael McLaughlin and Vivian Fine with pianist Emily Corbato. A reception with jazz will follow.
The evening concert will celebrate historical and contemporary works by women, featuring excerpts from Maria Teresa Agnesi's opera La Sofonisba, premieres of Ruth Lomon's oratorio Rebekah and of Dana Maiben's song cycle The Green House, songs of Fanny Mendelssohn accompanied on the Brandeis 1827 Viennese fortepiano, and Ruth Crawford Seeger's searing violin sonata of 1926. The works will be performed by some of Boston's best: pianist Sarah Bob, male soprano Robert Crowe, mezzo-soprano Pamela Dellal, violinist Gabriela Diaz, conductor Jane Ring Frank, gambist Laury Gutierrez and La Donna Musicale, the Mockingbird Trio (alto Elizabeth Anker, pianist John McDonald, and violist Scott Woolweaver), fortepianist Vivian Montgomery, violinist Dan Stepner and more.
The Women and Music Mix was initiated at the Women's Studies Research Center, (Shulamit Reinharz, Founding Director) to study the contributions of women to the field of music as composers, performers, teachers, scholars, and sponsors; to bring their work to a wider public through lectures, concerts, conferences, publications and recordings that highlight and explore issues of women and gender. The Women and Music Mix consists of 10 acclaimed Visiting and Resident Scholars who have committed themselves to advancing women's music and bringing their pioneering work to a wider public. The group is made up of composer Ruth Lomon, composer/violinist Dana Maiben, conductor/pianist Jane Ring Frank, musicologist/activist Liane Curtis, keyboardist/musicologist Vivian Montgomery, violist da gamba Laury Gutierrez, conductor Amelia LeClair, actor/director Alexandra Borrie, pianist/photographer Emily Corbato, music therapist Suzanne Hanser, and musicologist Arianne Johnson.

A total of 41 per cent of the respondents in the country said they were "totally committed" to their current employer, according to the latest results from Kelly Global Workforce Index titled 'Engaging Active and Passive Job Seekers (KGWI).
Across APAC (Asia-Pacific), the most engaged employees are in India and Indonesia, with the lowest being in Thailand and Singapore, it said.
Across India, 52 per cent of the employees said they feel valued at work, a level that has remained steady over the past three years.
"One of the major challenges for employers is to rebuild confidence and trust among employees who have been impacted by economic slowdown and job uncertainty. Employee engagement continues to be one of the prime tools to keep employees engaged which helps in retaining talent as well.
"Companies with engaged and committed employees are frequently rewarded with better worker performance, higher productivity, less absenteeism, lower turnover, and higher customer satisfaction," said Kamal Karanth, Managing Director, Kelly Services India.
The survey took responses from around 2,30,000 people across 31 countries with more than 4,000 mid and senior level respondents from India.
A lot of employee tend to switch jobs very early during their tenure in a company. 64 per cent employees in India intend to look for a job with another organisation within one year, the survey noted.
"This is due to the penetration of social media in the day to day lives of workers which also results in frequent job search on online communities," it said.
The survey said that social media has become a key way that employees find work and exchange information about jobs, with approximately 62 per cent using it for important career and employment decisions in the country.
"Social media offers an unprecedented opportunity for employees to engage in discussion about preferred places to work. The report clearly suggested that findings highlight the increasing role that social media is playing in the workplace, with a constant mixing of work-related and social exchanges.
"From an employer's perspective, it means they need to be mindful about the impact of social media activism on their brand and reputation," Karanth said.
The survey also highlighted that among the many reasons for an organisation to be an attractive employer in India include - salary, financial incentives, compensation and benefits at 26 per cent, followed by work life balance at 74 per cent.

The vice president has not showed furlough solidarity!
President Barack Obama's comments about the relatively attractiveness of California Attorney General Kamala Harris remain a topic of conversation for late-night hosts. Since The Daily Show was off Friday, host Jon Stewart got his first shot at the comments, peppering the president with jokes. Stewart hit Obama's jump shot , the return of Mad Men and even our heaviest president in history. Conan O'Brien and The Tonight Show 's Jay Leno both went the retro route and brought up the 42nd American president. Stewart also used the upcoming release of Obama's budget to go retro, using a sight gag comparison from the 1993 classic film Jurassic Park.
Late Night' s Jimmy Fallon had Vice President Joe Biden in his crosshairs. Fallon was the first host so far to mention the run of high-ranking public servants to take salary cuts in solidarity with federal employees, though Fallon's idea of Biden is that of an overgrown child. Leno took a similar route, making a Happy Meal joke.
Fast forward to 2:30 to see Fallon's impression of Biden trying to calculate his voluntary salary cut.

Diary of a Disaster: 6 Months in the Gulf
America awoke the morning of April 21 to learn that BP's well, the Deepwater Horizon, had blown out in the Gulf of Mexico and was on fire. Eleven men were dead. BP began dumping dispersants (toxic chemicals that sink oil) into the Gulf and lies into the media.
I had left Alaska on February 10 for another round of national talks on the democracy crisis and how we can take back our government... from the corporations. My phone went berserk with media requests. Lisa Marie, my assistant and friend, asked when I was going down to the Gulf. "I'm not," I said. She knew better.
For both of us, it was déjà vu. During the Exxon Valdez oil spill 21 years earlier in Alaska, Lisa Marie had worked with traumatized children and families. She worked for several years as a board member and volunteer for the Cordova Family Resource Center. With my doctorate in marine pollution, I became a spokesperson for the commercial fishing industry, testifying in the state legislature and Congress for stronger spill prevention measures and working to ban dispersants, and then starting the Copper River Watershed Project to help the community recover from long-term socioeconomic impacts. Lisa Marie knew I needed time to process my own memories that surged afresh with BP's blowout, the inept government-industry response, and the lies.
It took me a week to come out of my foxhole. I thought about all the mistakes our community had made after the Exxon-Valdez spill, of all that we'd learned during our decades of fighting. All of the communities in the Gulf will make the same mistakes, I thought glumly... unless someone warns them. Suddenly I realized that someone was me.
On May 3, Lisa Marie and I flew to New Orleans. She had a return ticket; I did not. Before the flight, a black limousine took me to a studio in Denver for an interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now!; a black limousine picked us up in New Orleans for an interview with Anderson Cooper on AC 360. The pace didn't slow down for five months.
From May through early October, I drove back and forth across the Gulf, giving community talks and workshops that evolved with the needs:
Shared Exxon Valdez stories and encouraged people to come up with a Plan B—how they could help themselves instead of waiting for BP or the federal government to make them whole as Exxon had promised, but failed, to do in Alaska.
In the town of Jean Lafitte, one Cajun fisherman stopped me mid-talk and begged, "Miss Riki, c-a-a-a-a-lm down!" A week later, my southern hosts had figured out how to "handle" me: "Miss Riki, she's high-strung. You gotta sit 'er down and feed 'er!" That worked.
Encouraged people to take air and water quality samples to document the damage from the spill and the threat to human health (the federal agencies' sampling programs found nothing to support the outbreak of respiratory illnesses and skin "rashes" that residents were experiencing). We amassed documentation of "disappeared" evidence.
A security guard in Florida hid behind bushes to take photos of BP-contracted Waste Management employees dumping wildlife carcasses in a dumpster. She sent the photos from her cell phone. "You can see the bush in the picture!" says Lisa Marie.
Encouraged people to take blood samples to link their illnesses with the high levels of oil and dispersants they were finding in their air and water. They tested outdoor swimming pools, rain, bayous, and beach sand.
Ordinary folks across the Gulf are turning to covert operations, grabbing cameras to document and report oil sightings and dispersant use in coastal seas. One grandmother tells me, "I'm too old for this!" But she keeps feeding me information.
Following massive use of oil dispersants in heavily populated coastal areas, dealt with extremely sick (and now dying) people. (The federal government and BP still deny this occurred, though federal investigators now have documentation. I believe the spraying was done to keep up appearances that the oil was "gone"—conveniently in time for mid-term elections.) Found medical doctors to properly diagnose and treat people as doctors in the Gulf were diagnosing anything but chemical illnesses. Encouraged those challenging re-opening of commercial fisheries, as they were still finding lots of evidence of oil and dispersants.
In Bayou La Batre, Alabama, two state officials tried to convince an audience of fishermen that it was okay to fish in coastal waters. Finally, one exasperated fellow boomed into the microphone, "I am a coon ass, not a dumb ass!"
September and October
Same as August.
In Louisiana, folks are calling the renamed Mineral Management Services, an agency captured by the oil industry it is charged with regulating, "Bummer"—for Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE). It fits. BP and the Coast Guard call the oil that still washes ashore "algae." It's not. The new joke in Louisiana is to go to BP stations and ask them to fill up and check the "algae."
In mid-October, I resumed the national tour that was interrupted in April, finally finding my way home on December 6 after being gone for 290 days! Cordovans showered me with thank-yous, hugs, and "'atta girls." It felt great.
Now I'm back in the Gulf. There's a lot on my list, from continuing the work of banning dispersants to finding a university that will partner with community organizations to conduct a 20-year study on the health impacts of the spill on Gulf residents.
"Action is the Antidote to Despair"
Photo essay: A photographer confronts the BP oil disaster.
The story isn't over. Indeed, this story has the potential to unite Americans in a serious commitment to transition off fossil fuels, starting with a permanent ban on deepwater offshore drilling. It's also an opportunity to confront the dangerous expansion of corporate power—for the people I've met here, watching the government protect BP instead of them has been more instructive than anything I could tell them.
It's not too late to make sure the outcome of this spill is not, as it was twenty years ago, a return to "oil business as usual."

They have next to nothing in common (other than being named beacons of 'high-bro' culture by GQ last year)—we just think there's something deviantly hilarious about crossing an impossibly charming heartthrob (beloved by feminists and Ellen, among others) with perhaps the most vile thing to ever infest TV screens: the reanimated corpses on AMC's zombie drama, The Walking Dead.
Two tips for pulling this off with aplomb:
1) Comb your hair. A sloppy coif will ruin any resemblance to the always-groomed Gosling.
2) Take it easy with the zombie makeup. No festering wounds, no missing lips or jaws. Your riffs on 'Hey girl—I love brains' pick-up lines will have a higher success rate if you simply go matte-grey, with some dark circles under the eyes.

Variations on a Combined Theme
Exactly half of the 46 states imposing corporate income taxes now generally require combined-reporting under certain circumstances. The differences among the definitions and methodologies far outweigh the similarities from one state to another.
September 23, 2010
As of September 2010, there are four states with no corporate income tax, seven separate return states and the remaining states either require, allow or are proposing combined-reporting for unitary businesses or related entities. The last six years saw the increase of the trend towards combined-reporting when Vermont became the first new state to adopt combined-reporting in more than 20 years. Before that time, the same dozen or so states had imposed a combined-reporting requirement on unitary businesses since that concept began in 1980 when California started the trend.
In general, combined-reporting attempts to prevent a multistate corporation from diverting income through related entity transactions to states with low or no corporate income tax. This is done by requiring addbacks of intercompany transactions such as management fees or payments for use of intangibles such as trademarks and patents. The corporation's taxable income is calculated by combining the income of the entire related group, eliminating intercompany transactions and apportioning that income by the combined apportionment percentage. The numerator of the apportionment factors usually includes the in-state values for all entities with nexus in the state and the denominator includes the total everywhere of the entire group. This calculation attempts to treat the entire related group as one business entity to more fairly present the business activity within a state.
The factors addressed in the combined-reporting regulations generally include the following:
The definitions imposed in the largest states vary greatly and account for the complexity involved in combined-reporting for multistate corporations. The accumulation and reporting of data for filing in combined-reporting states greatly complicates the income-tax compliance process.
An attempt at uniformity was made by the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC) in 2006 with the adoption of the Proposed Model Statute for Combined Reporting. Under this model, a corporation engaged in a unitary business with one or more corporations must file a combined return. The following discussion addresses the variations among some of the basic combined-reporting rules of the MTC and the four largest combined-reporting states are California, Illinois, New York and Texas.
Unitary Business
The MTC defines a unitary business as "a single economic enterprise that is made up of either separate parts of a single business entity or of a commonly controlled group of business entities that are sufficiently interdependent, integrated and interrelated through their activities so as to provide a synergy and mutual benefit that produces a sharing or exchange of value among them and a significant flow of value to the separate parts." Texas basically follows this model definition but California does not have a statutory definition, relying instead on regulations, stating that there is a strong presumption of a unitary relationship if any one of the following factors exists:
Case law that mirrored the "three unities test" was established in Butler Brothers v. McColgan to further describe a unitary business existence through:
In the Edison California Stores v. McColgan case, the California Supreme Court held that a unitary business exists if "the operation of the portion of the business done within the state is dependent upon or contributes to the operation of the business without the state", the "contribution or dependency test." Satisfying either the three unities or the contribution or dependency test will determine the existence of a unitary business in California.
In Illinois, the term unitary business group means "a group of persons related through common ownership whose business activities are integrated with, dependent upon or contribute to each other." The following conditions would satisfy this definition:
Substantial Inter-corporate Transactions
A unitary business is not specifically required to determine the applicability of combined-reporting in New York. The existence of "substantial intercorporate transactions among related corporations" will necessitate the filing of a combined return. Facts and circumstances are examined to determine the extent of transactions involved in a related group. The types of typical activities examined in this process include:
The existence of substantial intercorporate transactions may still dictate a combined return, even if the transactions occur based on an arm's length transfer price. "Substantial" transactions may be determined to exist where 50 percent or more of the corporation's annual receipts or expenditures involve related corporations. Multiyear tests may be used if the range of transactions is between 45 percent and 55 percent. The threshold may be met if the aggregate receipts or expenditures over a two-year period equal or exceed 50 percent.
Common Ownership
The concept of common ownership varies among the states in terms of required control and relationship. Under the MTC model, more than 50 percent of the voting power is required for filing a combined return, with constructive ownership rules applied. California, Illinois and Texas follow this definition, but New York requires "substantially all," meaning more than 80 percent, voting control to be included in a combined return. The New York standard follows the federal requirement for filing a consolidated return under Internal Revenue Code section 1504.
Water's Edge Reporting
The MTC model combined-reporting statute does not include a mandatory water's edge reporting clause. If no election is made, all entities — domestic and foreign — would be included in the combined group. With a water's edge election, along with the corporations incorporated in the US, the following entities could be included:
California's statute most closely resembles the MTC model except that a water's edge election is binding for seven years rather than the 10 years required in the MTC model. Illinois, Texas and New York require water's edge filing, which generally includes all taxable entities except those conducting more than 80 percent of its business outside the U.S. or assigns more than 80 percent of its property, payroll or sales to locations outside the U.S.
This comparison only included the four largest combined-reporting states. For large multistate corporations filing in all of the 23 combined-reporting states, the variations in requirements can amount to a staggering burden of paperwork. In addition to the issues discussed here, other complexities arise in the area of includible entities, differing fiscal year-end rules and Joyce v. Finnigan apportionment methods. As this trend towards combined-reporting continues with several states still considering adoption, compliance simplification is not likely to be on the horizon.

Turkey Turmoil Escalates
Turkey's president called for calm Wednesday after a night of running battles between police and pockets of protesters after security forces stormed a landmark central square in Istanbul. Dr. David Pollock, Kaufman Fellow at the Washington Institute For Near East Policy, joins the News Hub. Photo: Getty Images

... the the ... last night more than two thousand people were injured ... Tuesday and early Wednesday as riot police ... stormed the Houston Bowl central square ... today the square is clear and surrounded by riot police though some protesters remain in a nearby park ... Dr David Pollack is the Kauffman fellow at the Washington Institute for near East policy he joins us now ... the eye doctor Dr Pollock good morning ... good morning to ok ... first thing ... I think ... you've won a clear this up ... EA is ... people see protesting in the square they think Cairo but that's unfair right ... how come ... yes ... I think that the other really big differences between what we saw in Cairo in South Korea for two years ago ... and what we're seeing in Istanbul and toxins were today ... first of all just the skill of it ... that that protests in Cairo swelled to ... hundreds of thousands and eventually even millions of Egyptians ... crabbing squares ... and streets ... not just in Cairo but all over the country ... and how I what was happening ... well this one ... I think by the largest estimates might've been about that is at its height ... maybe ... in the tens of thousands load tends ... to twenty maybe thirty thousand people and ... by now after about two weeks of protests were talking and ... really just about a couple of thousand ... of them today only a few hundred left and in another point to make your probably is that ... the democratic institutions in Turkey are much much stronger than they are needed I do I wanna ask you ... how I had right prime minister who won ... decisively crush these protests at this point ... you know you can ever be a hundred percent sure but I would say probably yes and ... the the danger that I see looking forward a few days is if Prime Minister on follows through on his ... promise of a threat depending on which separates you from ... to bring his supporters out into the streets ... I which he said he would do this weekend ... then we may see some pretty nasty confrontations between pro and anti aired on protesters scattered around the country ... but ... I think ... that ... although personally I'm sympathetic to the protesters I think ... that ... they have been divided by the government's tactics that aired on is supposed to meet with some of them today but not others ... and Dave also failed to create ... debt so far ... and the popular support that everyone does enjoy among ... his supporters which I think are probably about half of the Turkish population ... and the yuan is successfully ... catering to that base ... do you think some people say I wonder ... whether ... a year to one's will is a sign that all of this is a sign that Turkey could lose ... some of the secular traditions that ... really if it adopted ... Post Ataturk sentry go ... yet ... well that that's already happening but I mean that one another is what Islamic super state ... no I think that there are limits to how far this process of Islamization is likely to go and Turkey ... and in fact that the fact that these protests are taking place is one of the limits that they're gone or any Turkish government will face ... in trying tickets online ... this country ... more than has happened nevertheless few years ... because they're about half of the Turkish population is pretty staunchly secular ... and traveling in Turkey all around the country myself a few weeks ago I a ... just re discovered ... the existence of a very strong current ... of resentment ... against ... further Islamization of Turkish society and public life ... so I think the Turks themselves are to resist this trend ... okay ... Dr David Pollack from the Washington Institute for near East policy thank so much for joining us this morning ... sure

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Senior Brendan Leiran (Waukon, Iowa/Waukon) rushed for a career-high 164 yards and scored five touchdowns, as Coe rolled Loras 69-7 at Clark Field. Coe moved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in league play.
The Kohawk defense came out firing. Coe entered the game giving up just 7.75 points per game, the second fewest in the country. The Duhawks went three-and-out on the opening drive, as Coe took over at the Loras 43 to start. Outside of a 13-yard pass from senior Jared McNutt (Warren, Ill./Warren) to senior Jared Kuehner (Center Point, Iowa/Center Point-Urbana), Leiran carried the load on the opening drive. On four carries, Leiran rushed for 30 yards, including a nine-yard touchdown with 11:42 left in the first quarter. A botched point-after attempt led to a two-point conversion for juniorJordan Atwater (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Linn-Mar), the first points of Atwater's career.
Following an exchange of punts, Coe started its third drive of the game at its own 32-yard line. On third-and-eight, McNutt found junior Keaton Juergens (Elkader, Iowa/Central Elkader) for a 12-yard gain. Two plays later, Leiran went off the right side for 54-yards, as Coe took a 15-0 lead with 5:29 left in the first quarter.
Another Duhawk three-and-out gave Coe the ball at its own 42-yard line. McNutt completed a 50-yard pass to Juergens, the longest reception of Juergens career, on first down. The next play, Leiran was in from eight-yards out. The PAT was blocked, giving Coe a 21-0 lead with 3:50 left in the first quarter.
Loras put together its second longest drive of the first half following the score, as they went 17-yards on six plays, but juniorMitch Montgomery (Lisbon, Iowa/Lisbon) came away with his first career interception at the Kohawk 47-yard line. Leiran rushed for five yards on first down before McNutt found senior Chase Cooling (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Xavier) for a 23-yard gain before McNutt completed an 11-yard pass to Kuehner. Leiran took the next two carries eight and six yards for his fourth touchdown of the first quarter, putting Coe ahead 28-0 with :31 left in the opening frame. Leiran ended the first quarter with 115 yards on 12 carries.
After a failed fourth-down attempt for the Duhawks, Coe took over at its own 39-yard line. Leiran rushed for back-to-back nine-yard gains before McNutt found Kuehner for a 43-yard touchdown off a screen pass. Just three plays later, juniorLogan Keehner (Guttenberg, Iowa/Clayton Ridge) picked off Dylan Jones for his first career interception. Keehner returned the interception 19 yards to the Loras 18-yard line. After an incomplete pass, junior Gage Mohs (Fredericksburg, Iowa/Sumner-Fredericksburg) rushed for nine yards before Leiran scored for the fifth and final time from nine-yards out with 9:34 left in the first half.
The Duhawks next drive would end in turnover as well, as junior Dylan Youel (Traer, Iowa/North Tama) recovered his first career fumble at the Duhawk 21-yard line. On the next play, McNutt found Kuehner for a 21-yard touchdown pass, as Coe went ahead 49-0 with 8:30 to play in the first half.
With :41 to play in the first half, the Kohawk defense stuffed a punt attempt by the Duhawks, tackling the punter at the two-yard line. Two plays later, freshman Mark Atwater (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Linn-Mar) found senior Jacob Workman(Chadwick, Ill./Milledgeville) for a two-yard touchdown pass, giving Coe a 56-0 lead at the half.
On the Duhawks first possession of the second half, Nate Carrier went 65-yards off the right side for a touchdown, making it 56-7 in favor of the Kohawks with 12:12 to play in the third quarter.
Coe increased its lead to 59-7 with 5:30 to play in the third quarter as junior Wes Anderson (Newhall, Iowa/Benton Community) connected on a 26-yard field goal. The Kohawks got the ball back on an interception by junior Shane Moses(East Peoria, Ill./East Peoria), his second in two weeks. Coe wasn't able to capitalize on the interception, but a fumble on the punt return, recovered by senior Matt Barnd (Marion, Iowa/Marion) gave the Kohawks the ball back at the Loras 24-yard line. Anderson would kick a 20-yard field goal with 12:55 to play in the game, as Coe went ahead 62-7.
The Duhawks went three-and-out once again, this time leading to the final points of the game. Coe went 51-yards on seven plays following the defensive stop, capped by junior Carvin Thompson's (Dallas, Texas/Life Charter) four-yard touchdown run with 7:06 to play.
Coe gained 22 first downs, while holding the Duhawks to seven. Coe rushed for 298 yards, compared to 121 for the Duhawks. The Kohawks threw for 190 yards, while Loras had just 70 yards through the air. Coe led in total yardage 488 to 191, while running just six more plays than Loras. The Duhawks were 2-of-16 on third downs, while Coe was 5-of-13. Loras never entered the red zone, while Coe was 8-for-8 on scoring inside the red zone with six touchdowns.
Leiran finished with a game-high 164 yards rushing and five touchdowns. Mohs added 58 yards on 11 carries, while Thompson had 42 yards on 13 carries, including his second career touchdown. McNutt was 8-for-11 for 179 yards. Kuehner caught five passes for 94 yards, while Juergens caught two for 62 yards.
Senior Bryce Sampson (Roland, Iowa/Roland-Story) led the defense with six tackles. Junior Justin Snorton (Valley Park, Mo./Desmet Jesuit) had a career-high five tackles, while sophomore Mitchell Berendes (Dubuque, Iowa/Hempstead) also had five.
Anderson finished with a career-high 13 points kicking. Cooling had five punts for 194 yards, as he moved into second on Coe's career list with 123 punts and 4,408 punting yards.
Leiran scored 30 points on the day, becoming the sixth player at all NCAA divisions to score 30 or more points in a game this season. He is just the third NCAA Division III player to do so. Leiran also moved to fourth on Coe's career carries list with 479, fourth on the career rushing yards list with 2,607 and eighth on the touchdowns list with 27 rushing touchdowns. His five touchdowns in the win is tied for the second most in school history, second to Carey Bender's NCAA Division III record of eight. Kuehner moved into fourth on the career receptions list with 119 and fourth in the career touchdowns list with 19.
Coe's 69 points were the 11th most in school history, while the 62 point margin of victory was the 10th highest in school history.
The Kohawks (5-0, 2-0 IIAC) return to action next Saturday, as they travel to defending Iowa Conference Champion Dubuque. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. in Dubuque.

Making righteous choices will help get you on the path of righteousness and make sure you don't wander.
A number of years ago, I attended my 20-year high school reunion. I hadn't seen many of my former classmates since graduation day, and I was excited for the opportunity to see them again. Some of these classmates surprised me; a few who were formerly well-behaved youth had since gotten into trouble or seemed to have otherwise changed for the worse. A few others who used to have lower standards were now active Church members, and I could see that the power of the Atonement had been at work in their lives.
However, I noted with interest that the majority of my former classmates were on the same path they had been following in high school. The decisions they had made so many years ago had largely determined where they were today. Many who had been good, righteous teenagers were now righteous adults. And many who had started down the wrong path so long ago were still on that course.
As a teenager, you are faced with decisions every day that can influence the course of your life and will decide what kind of person you will become. You cannot see exactly where your future will lead, but you can ensure your future happiness by making righteous decisions now. Here are some guidelines that will help you when making important decisions. They will help get you on the path of righteousness and make sure you don't wander.
Gauge Your Decisions against the Standards
Several years ago, I was in the market for a van. My wife and I had nine children, and we needed a larger vehicle. One day, I saw a big 12-passenger van for sale. I contacted the owner, who let me take it for a test drive. I was worried about the height of the van, so I decided to drive it home to see if it would fit in our garage.
I eyeballed the van and the garage door, and it looked like the van was too tall. I got a tape measure and measured the van, then the garage door. Sure enough, the van was too tall. But I wanted the van so badly; I wanted it to fit! So I called my wife out and said, "Come out and watch this. I'm going to try to pull the van into the garage and see if I can make it." Luckily, before I actually tried to pull the van in, I thought, Wait a minute, I know I can't make it! I realized that I had two reliable standards already. When I looked at the van, I could see it was too tall. And when I measured the door and the van, I could see the van wouldn't fit. Yet I was almost willing to risk damage to the van and the garage by trying to drive it in. My personal desires almost kept me from trusting the standards.
When you have difficult choices to make, use your parents, your leaders, words of the prophets, and the scriptures as standards to see if your decisions fit, so to speak. The For the Strength of Youth pamphlet is another terrific resource. There's no need to spend a lot of time worrying about many of the choices you're faced with, because the answers are right there in that little pamphlet. It contains very specific guidelines for music, media, dress, and so forth. Follow the standards it contains. Don't be like those who think, "If I look at this standard from a different angle, maybe my unrighteous decision will fit."
Ask If It Leads to Christ
You will find joy as you make choices that help you follow the Savior. Everything our Heavenly Father does is calculated to bring us joy and happiness. "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy" (2 Nephi 2:25). On the other hand, Satan's devices always lead to misery. But he tries to disguise this fact. He tells us, "Commit this sin and it will make you happy." But it's a lie. Sin always leads to misery. Remember Alma's words to Corianton: "Wickedness never was happiness" (Alma 41:10).
Mormon's counsel in Moroni 7 is very wise. In verses 16 and 17 he says: "Wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.
"But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil."
When you are faced with an important decision, be sure that your choice will lead you nearer to Christ.
Be Courageous
It is important that you come to understand how the Holy Ghost works in your life. Learn to recognize and understand the Spirit's gentle promptings, and have the courage to always follow them. When you are faced with a hard decision, following the Holy Ghost can make all the difference.
I remember once, while on a break from high school, a friend and I decided to go hiking through the slot canyons in southern Utah. We drove for several hours to our destination and then hiked to a nice campsite by the river and spent the night.
When we got up in the morning, all my excitement for our hiking trip was gone. Instead, I had a feeling that we ought to return home. For more than two hours this feeling kept bothering me; then suddenly, it went away. I felt so relieved because, frankly, I was afraid to share my feelings with my friend. We'd spent so many hours driving and hiking to our campsite and planned to spend several more days hiking and camping. I was afraid of what my friend would think of me if I said, "I think we ought to go home."
After lunch, my friend left the campsite to be alone for a few minutes. When he returned, he said, "I think we'd better go home."
"I do, too," I said. We cut our trip short and went home.
Today I still think about that experience. I didn't listen to the Spirit—or at least I didn't act on the promptings I felt—and the Spirit left me. I am grateful that my friend had the courage to listen and follow.
You also have the Holy Ghost to give you direction. You know what is right. You can feel it. You know when you're not supposed to watch a certain movie or play a particular video game. You may be tempted to ignore or go against the promptings of the Spirit because you are afraid of how others will react to your decision. Be courageous and do what you know is right.
Now Is the Time
As a teenager, you face challenging decisions on a regular basis. The choices you make now will shape your character and help to determine the person you will be years from now. Don't wait until you're an adult to figure out how to recognize the Spirit; learn now. The Lord will be generous in providing you with opportunities to feel what is right. If you learn to recognize and follow the Spirit, your life will be blessed forever, and you will receive the guidance you need in making important choices.
When you are faced with an important decision, be sure that your choice will lead you nearer to Christ.

Verse One:
If I became the boss,
I would start my own company,
Start hiring more employees,
So we can make a lot of money.
If I became the boss,
I will make a change and a difference,
Building better schools,
And eliminating ignorance.
If I became the boss,
I would take a stand for justice,
To take care of my own community,
To make it cleaner and stop the roughness.
No more drive by's and shoot outs,
No more gangs and guns,
Because we all share the love,
See look how far we've become!
Those who hate will drown,
Not in their sorrow but in our glory,
But that's a whole another story,
We know we aren't fronting,
We know they aren't getting nothing,
Because we all made it into something.
My name is Ryan Ngala,
My rhyme is the best,
I got all these flow's written down on my chest,
As I'm sitting on the throne,
Because I'm representing the Harlem Children's Zone.
Verse Two:
Them fly rich girls will be stunting,
With their shades on, and their legs so long,
They are always stacking their paper,
While jamming out to their favorite song.
All my fly guys will be winning,
With their tailored suits, and african roots,
Keeping it trill,
Cause they know God will.
My Mom doesn't get stressed out,
My Mom will always teach me how to save up,
Because she will always know that,
We know what's up.
This is for all the fly ladies & the fellas,
That I represent for C.S.O, E.T.C, Human Resources,
And all of the other HCZ after school sites above us all,
Starting with the flyest students & the staff members,
Who are also here in the building as well.
We them fly HCZ hustlers,
Who will always be,
Getting to the money,
Always straight stunting,
Best believe me when I say this,
We gotta stay hustling,
You already know.
It's a glorious morning,
In the city of New York/
People came to look for a job,
Some place they can work.
I live in the big apple,
Where there are great things in motion/
Everywhere you turn there is an,
Opportunity waiting for you/
With it's arms wide open.
Verse Three:
Where so many celebrities,
Get a chance to meet and greet,
They get a chance to have an autograph being sign for me,
Now that's very sweet.
Strike a pose for the picture,
It has never been more clearer,
Painting a picture so vivid,
As my dreams gets nearer and nearer.
As I'm getting my paper,
By getting certified big checks,
Every fifth of the week/
Because Harlem Children's Zone Is,
Where you work and don't sleep.
I climb to the top,
But I will never ever stop,
To far reach out my destination,
During the world's most population.
Many Harlem Children's Zone Students graduated,
To The Top Of Their Class,
Having all the haters,
Looking at them so funny,
Wishing that they have all their hard earned money.
As the students, reach to their full potential,
And hopefully one day they will become truly successful,
There's no doubt about it, because the sky is the limit,
Just to let them know if they are in it to win it.

Met Police new HR technology broken, bloated, absent
Fell down the stairs, presumably
An attempted programme to modernise the Metropolitan Police's human resources systems is behind schedule and over-budget.
The force was originally going to spend £38m to create a self-service HR system which it hoped would save it £15m a year in costs. The system was meant to go live in December 2009 - but it is now hoped it will be ready in the second half of this year, and an extra £10m has been added to the budget.
The row with French supplier Steria got so bad that the Met sought legal advice, the Times reports. Steria has yet to respond to our email queries.
A source told the paper: "Lawyers have been consulted but the cost of litigation would be greater than the cost of trying to fix it."
The force employs 55,000 people and is under political pressure to control costs and reduce officers' time spent shuffling paper, as well as cutting civilian headcount.
Home Secretary Theresa May visits the Police Federation this week. The Met's HR director Martin Tiplady, who earns an estimated £175,000, will be hoping the system offers the savings he has previously promised. Tiplady has been in post since 2001 after a long career in local government.
Sounding like someone had swallowed the management consultants' whole dictionary, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said [verbatim]: "A major change programme originally with a go-live date forecast for December 2009 but the technology was not fully developed. The programme is on track with a revised go-live plan forecast for the second half of 2010.
"The project plan has been fully discussed and agreed with all parties including the Metropolitan Police Authority. A revised budget was agreed in 2009. The total programme is £48m delivering £15m in annual savings from next year."
In other news, independent charity CrimeStoppers has launched a website to help track down London's "Most-Wanted" suspects. The site includes pictures, descriptions and information on alleged offences. At the time of writing it seems to be mostly unavailable. ®

CSU safety Ivory Herd suspended; Kivon Cartwright reinstated
EL PASO, TX – Colorado State has suspended senior safety Ivory Herd and he will not play in the Rams' game at UTEP tonight, the team announced today. Herd, who did not make the trip to El Paso with the team, is suspended indefinitely for what was called a violation of team rules.
The Rams will miss Herd, who is fourth on the team in tackles with 30 – the top tackler in the CSU secondary – and a team captain. He also had one interception. This summer, CSU nominated him for the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good Works Team, awarded to players that are the strongest in off-the-field character and leadership among college football players.
CSU has not settled in on a starter in his place, but will most likely be sophomore Ezra Thompson or freshman Drew Reilly. Thompson was reinstated from suspension himself this season prior to the Utah State game. He has 14 tackles in three games. Reilly has four tackles in six games this season.

UK backpacker missing in Australia
A British backpacker has disappeared after he set out on a run in the Australian Outback.
Sam Woodhead was reported missing from a cattle station after he failed to return from a jog two days ago.
Local authorities launched a hunt for Mr Woodhead amid fears he may have lost his way in the hot, isolated region in central Queensland.
His frantic mother is understood to have urged police to widen the search on the grounds that her son, an experienced long-distance runner, could have travelled some way from his base, near the town of Longreach.
His sister, Rebecca, issued an anxious plea for news on Facebook.
"If anyone hears from my brother please contact me ASAP," she wrote.
In another posting, she added: "Thanks so much for all your messages regarding Sam. Still no further news but we have the helicopter going out again in the morning, Aus time, and hundreds of people going on a voluntary search party. will keep you all posted."
Mr Woodhead, reportedly 18-years-old and from Richmond Upon Thames, in Surrey, had been in Australia for eight days before he disappeared on Tuesday afternoon.
The former Brighton College student was reported missing by the owner of Upshot Station, where he was working.
His wallet is understood to have been found at the cattle ranch but there was no sign of his rucksack or running shoes.

In ancient times the physician and musician were one and the same. Music has clearly survived the test of time. As scientists, we are now beginning to discover the phenomenally intricate links between music and our biology.
Yamaha Music and Wellness Institute (YMWI) continues to be actively engaged in exploring the impact of creative musical expression on the human genome as presented in two peer-reviewed scientific research investigations (see RESEARCH).
Recreational Music Making is defined as "enjoyable, accessible and fulfilling group music-based activities that unite people of all ages regardless of their challenges, backgrounds, ethnicity, ability or prior experience." - Karl T. Bruhn

Thursday 3 February, 9:00pm on Fiver
The hit US drama series following the work of independent CBI consultant Patrick Jane continues. In this week's show, Jane and the team are pulled deep inside the world of horse racing after a jockey is found murdered. Patrick St Esprit ('Sons of Anarchy'), Jim Beaver ('Deadwood') and Olesya Rulin ('High School Musical') guest star. Now in its third season, 'The Mentalist' centres around Patrick Jane (Simon Baker, 'The Guardian', 'The Devil Wears Prada'), an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation. Jane made his name as a TV psychic, but quit that job amidst tragic circumstances. As a publicity stunt to raise his own profile, Jane made an on-screen appeal to a serial killer known as Red John – only for the killer to murder Jane's wife and daughter. Jane now readily admits that he was a fraud, but has found that his remarkable powers of observation and psychological manipulation are an asset to the police. As an independent consultant with the CBI, he has a proven track record for solving serious crimes – but he has also gained notoriety for his blatant lack of protocol and his celebrity past. However, Jane's sole motivation in remaining with the bureau is to track down the man responsible for killing his family. No-nonsense CBI senior agent Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney, 'The Craft', 'Prison Break') takes the heat from her boss, Madeleine Hightower (Aunjanue Ellis), for Jane's theatrics and lack of boundaries – but acknowledges his usefulness and counts him as a friend. Lisbon's team includes agents Kimball Cho (Tim Kang), who serves as the lead interrogator with a desert-dry demeanour; Wayne Rigsby (Owain Yeoman), the team's resident explosives expert; and relative newcomer Grace Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti), an optimist who is often at odds with Jane's more jaded views. Although the CBI agents agree that Jane is a loose cannon, they cannot help but admire his charm and knack for clearing cases.
