Johan Spanner for The New York Times
Turkey is a secular parliamentary democracy located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and bordered by eight countries.
One of the largest middle-income partners of the World Bank Group, Turkey has an expanding economy and is continuing to pursue its candidacy for full membership in the European Union, which remains Turkey's largest economic partner. Joining NATO in 1952, Turkey has also ensured and fostered a close bilateral partnership with the United States.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey is an increasingly assertive regional player at a time when several of its neighbors are locked in sometimes violent struggles for democracy. Erdogan's tenure has faced its own significant challenges, with public demonstrations and civil unrest, beginning in May 2013, that have brought some of the nation's most unsettling discord in decades.

Former Raider Marcus Allen To Light Al Davis Memorial Flame -
More than 20 years after Raiders owner Al Davis decided to park running back Marcus Allen on the bench until his contract expired, Allen will attend a Raiders game. Paul Gutierrez of CSNBayArea.com reports that Allen will light the flame that honors the long-time owner's memory, prior to their game against the Steelers. It's happening at the behest of Mark Davis, Al's son. The development comes years after something happened to drive a wedge between the two men that never was resolved before Davis died last year. "He told me he was going to get me," Allen said in 1992. "We've had conversations. I don't know for what reason, but he told me he was going to get me." In 2010, Davis declined to delve into the details. "I'm not going to tell you," Davis told Ice Cube, who put together a documentary on the team. "It's a deeper story than you even dream, that I was well aware of, and I just got a certain approach to life." The truth still isn't known (it's believed in some circles that Davis didn't approve of Allen's friendship with O.J. Simpson — which would make Davis a genius), but it's great to see Allen let bygones be bygones.

November 25, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A grand jury in Nevada has indicted a 29-year-old man on charges that could get him the death penalty in a Las Vegas Strip crash that killed an off-duty California Highway Patrol officer and the officer's relative.
The 10-count indictment filed Friday accuses James Robert Montgomery of two counts each of murder and kidnapping in the August crash that killed Officer Jesus Magdaleno Jr. and his brother-in-law, Felix Brandon Cruz III.
Montgomery is accused of stealing the officer's truck from a casino valet stand and crashing it with the two men in the cargo bed.
Montgomery, of Tustin, Calif., previously pleaded not guilty to all charges. They also include robbery, burglary and auto theft.
He's being held without bail at the Clark County jail. His arraignment is Nov. 25.

Gentlewoman style: how to wear primary colours
Summer is when I get (a little bit) more adventurous with colour so I'm well into all the primary brights we're seeing popping up everywhere. Rich royal blue is an easy choice for the colour-shy as it's almost a neutral so I'd wear that in a bomber jacket or rain mac (I'm currently looking for the perfect single-breasted mac). My manicure of the moment is Estee Lauder's Pure Colour in Impassioned, a candy apple red that can skew either formal or casual. I also can't get enough of Kelly green, especially in a fun print (hello Mother Of Pearl shorts), while a sunny shade of yellow lends itself beautifully to accents – this jolly Fendi key fob for example. Finally, thank you Keep It Chic for alerting me to Thomas Maier's Cruise 15 collection. You can't buy it now but as inspiration for a relaxed red suit, it serves very nicely…
Guest report: Techno Sports-luxe – a triangulated trend where streetstyle and high fashion dovetail with a sports vibe
Sports-luxe is back into the fashionista psyche, judging by the recent round of SS14 catwalks, but this time around it's infused with a tech-enhanced performance.
In London, Stella McCartney showcased her new performance-fabrics focused range for Adidas 'to inspire women to get their sweat on'. From spinning to aerial yoga, the collection integrated sustainable textiles and lightweight breathable outerwear into a more dynamic offer. Continue reading

Buy it now: new spring things
This winter I did really well on the jumper front so for now I can ease off on the knitwear buying. That said, I'm very drawn to Stella's fruit salad chevron stripes and these Maria La Rosa socks. For tapping into the big 60s monochrome story, Motel's block-striped top will come in very useful, both with tailored skirts (like Carven's lush poppy red one) and boy fit jeans. Its loosely cut proportions are very flattering and the zip at the back makes it slightly more dressy. While the skinny cigarette heel is making a huge comeback, chunky heels and flatforms are still best for everyday city living – preferably dipped in silver or gold…

Fort Lauderdale Beach can be a nightmare at times, and let's not even mention -- woo!-- spring break. Bierbrunnen offers a welcome respite from the beachfront bumpin' and grindin' of many other Fort Liquordale establishments. When the clock strikes 4:30 p.m., the German beers (including the drink of the gods, Erdinger) drop down by $1 and domestic and well drinks are half price. Until 7 p.m. it's open season for day drunks, sun-stroked beach dwellers, tourists, and whoever else happens to wander into this open-air bar. Three and a half hours is plenty of time to let loose with co-workers, friends, or strangers, gather some "liquid courage," and possibly embarrass yourself. Isn't that what happy hours are all about?

HARVARD (WIFR) -- The McHenry County Coroner is investigating the death of a 12 year-old Harvard boy who fell out of a canoe in a retention pond.
It happened yesterday evening near 811 Apple Valley Road in Harvard.
A canoe carrying the 12 year-old and two others capsized, dumping them all in the water. The 12 year-old was initially seen flailing in the water, but he eventually went under.
Calls for help alerted a nearby uncle, who attempted to rescue the victim. Multiple fire and rescue units were also called to assist. The other two young men were able to get to shore.
A dive team found the victim's body in 15-20 feet of water, about 125 feet from the shore. They tried to revive him, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at Harvard Mercy Hospital.

ResumeWritingService.biz ReviewResumewritingservice.biz company had been highly recommended by a close friend. The website is done very professionally and provides you with all the information needed to be able to settle on the best package for you. They provide you with easy access to resume writing services, prices, how they operate, their writers, tips, samples and FAQ. The only problem I experienced was the popping chat box requesting me to begin a live conversation with the support agents. The chat feature is a plus but very annoying when browsing the site.
Reasons you Didn't Get the InterviewYou have a perfect resume and you know you are the perfect person for the job you just applied for. You are very confident you are going to get called for an interview. However, you don't get a call and you sit there unhappily wondering why. Here are a few reasons you didn't get the interview for your dream job.
Resumewriters.com Company ReviewThe first impression Resumewriters.com gave me that it could have been done more professional seeing that they specialize more in Executive Resumes, and very cluttered. It has all the writing services you would expect to see on a Resume Writing Service. They offer specialized services and help on-line, however descriptions of services provided are dull and not an easy to use site.
Resume2hire.com Company Review
Searching on the net I arrived at Resume2hire.com, the website provides you with an easy to use feeling with much to offer from getting started, how they work, pricing, samples, testimonials and support. They even provide you with a live chat facility the only problem I had is that there is no contact number for those with no internet connection.
USA jobs Resume Builder – Be The Lucky One
The USA job market is an extremely competitive one. There may be hundreds of thousands of applicants vying for a single position meaning that while one person may luck off, thousands of others will be without a job. The question is how to make sure that you are that one lucky person who got the coveted position. The reality is that the majority of people applying for a job will make at least one mistake on their resume and that single mistake can completely create the wrong impression regardless of any outstanding credentials that may be listed on it.
Proresumewritingservices.com Company ReviewProResumeWritingServices.com I found through the normal search providers, the website is easy on the eye and all the information needed is shown on the first page, making it easy to use.
They provide you with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee work and even a Flat 50% discount offer that is valid for 24 hours.
What makes them a good choice to use that they have been rated the best Resume Writing Service (according to Top resume writing survey 2012-2013) and have published 7 books on resume writing and interview planning.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - American teenager Lexi Thompson took a two-shot lead after the second round of the Dubai Ladies Masters on Thursday, putting her on course to become the second youngest winner ever on the European Tour.
The 16-year-old Thompson, who became the youngster winner on the LPGA Tour winner earlier this year, strung together six birdies on her way to a bogey-free 6-under 66 and a total of 136 for the tournament.
Tied for 16th after the first day, Thompson got her short game and irons working on Thursday, hitting a lob wedge to within 10 feet of the pin on the second hole and sending a 178-yard iron shot on the next hole ro within 15 feet of the hole. She birdied both holes.
Swedish veteran Sophie Gustafson (67) and Margherita Rigon (68) shared second place, while Paraguay's Julieta Granada and Becky Morgan of Wales were a further shot back on 139.
"I just made a few more putts today," Thompson said. "I hit it a little bit closer. I was just thinking 'stay steady' and playing consistent."
Thompson has started to match the hype that has surrounded her arrival on the tour, winning the Navistar LPGA Classic by five strokes in September.
A victory in Dubai would make her the second youngest winner on the European Tour after Amy Yang of South Korea, who won the ANZ Masters in 2006 at 16 years, 191 days. That is just over five months younger than Thompson.
"This is such a great tournament and it would be an honor to win this," Thompson said. "So I'm jut going to try and take it easy and play one shot at a time."
Fellow American Michelle Wie climbed back into contention, shooting a 5-under 67 to remain four shots adrift. Wie also got her start on the LPGA Tour at 16 - turning pro two years ago.
However, she has struggled to meet expectations, winning only twice on the LPGA tour and this year falling to 17th in the world rankings due to nagging injuries and a drop in form.
The 22-year-old Wie, looking for her first win of the year, bounced back from an opening 73 in which her shaky putting led to three bogeys. On Thursday, Wie had a bogey-free round in the season-ending event and sank several key birdie putts, including a 30-footer on No. 12. She had five birdies overall, including four on the back nine for a total of 140.
"A little frustrated after the last two holes, but I kept steady out there today," said Wie, who missed a 12-foot birdie putt on No. 18. "I made a couple more putts, and I have two more days to try and shoot some more low scores. I'm still in contention, and going to go out there tomorrow, shoot another low round."
Playing alongside Wie, the 38-year-old Gustafson is also looking for her first victory of the year. She was five shots back after the first day, but had five birdies in a bogey-free second round.
"I was striking the ball very well, so it feels good," Gustafson said. "I was actually hitting the ball awful on Tuesday during the Pro Am, but the Swedish coaches that are here this week from the Swedish Golf Federation helped me find my ball striking."
Four-time major winner Laura Davies (81) continued to struggle in Dubai. The 48-year-old Englishwoman is at 156 will miss the cut for the second week in a row.
She made an early exit at the Indian Open - only the fourth time she had missed a cut on tour - after her caddie failed to show up for the first round because of visa problems. She carried her own bag and shot 3 over the first day.
This week, Davies said her problems came down to poor play. Needing a sub-par round Thursday for any chance to play into the weekend, Davies had three bogeys and two double-bogeys on the front nine to end her chances.
"I started nicely. Three-putted the first and had an eagle chance on 3 and just missed it," Davies said. "On the fourth hole, I hit what I thought was a good chip and it went in the water. Triple-bogey, six over. The cut is obviously going to be 1 or 2 (over) and that is a long ways back from there."

In this episode, friend of MBR, Shane DeMars, discusses his experience in the first annual AntiEpic Gravel Grinder near Monument, Colorado. The ride takes place on some unique Colorado terrain. Rather than the usual mountain rides that many Coloradans are accustomed to, it is miles and miles of wide open and rolling terrain filled with great gravel roads.

Yo, mall rats: Facebook and Cisco in Wi-Fi hookup to track your retail, social life
Facebook just got into the consensual Wi-Fi data-pumping game after it inked a deal with networking giant Cisco that will allow businesses to better target people's shopping and social habits. The free content ad network will play swapsies with its users by getting them to agree to hand over their "customer preferences and …
""which in turn will help them do a better job with targeted ads. ""
The only "good job" with targeted adverts is..... no adverts.
Which is my best profile?
Depends on which profile you choose to use.
Maybe its time for another two or three FB profiles depending on where I'm going to shop.
T'internet is becoming like Mr Benn and the fancy dress shop -- who will I be today?
If you are not paying a fee for a service
...then you are the fee or alternatively TANSTAAFL
Don't like it, don't use it. Targeted ad's are there so that facebook et all can run their DC's etc. Doesn't make them right but you (currently) have a choice to avoid using these services, it's not mandatory to post your every action live using whatever wifi is available.
Re: Which is my best profile?
This month I'll be logging into 'The Cloud' wifi network with the name.. Dr Anton Phibes
Re: Which is my best profile?
"This month I'll be logging into 'The Cloud' wifi network with the name.. Dr Anton Phibes"
Oh dear.
I'll continue to use my mobile connection to do what it was defined to do, thanks. Or use the existing free wifi that shops and shopping centres already provide.
Targetted ads? Seriously? I bought a Velux blind about 2 months ago. I've had nothing but ads for Velux blinds ever since (locked down machine, no adblock etc). Because, y'know, buying that blind is going to be such a regular experience that it's good I see ads for it.
Re: Thanks
" Or use the existing free wifi that shops and shopping centres already provide."
Do you think that shopping centres are not harvesting data about you for commercial purposes?
This solution, coined CMX for Facebook Wi-Fi...
Can anybody suggest what this means? Is "coined" supposed to be a hip alternative to "called"? If so, are quotation marks optional when you use it?
To "coin" name for something is well-established English usage. Not sure they've conjugated it correctly here, mind. Their words, not El Reg's.
"Not sure they've conjugated it correctly here, mind."
No, they haven't. To coin a name (or other word) is to create it. The word they were probably looking for is "termed" or "called".
They were actually looking for the phrase 'a made up term, that sounds a bit trendy as it has an 'X' in it, created in the vain hope that it might catch on and sound like a real thing we can charge for rather than just a way to get as much data on people as possible and sell it on. Also it sounds better than "personal data pimping"'
What's really sad is
There's so many people out there who'll think this is fantastic.
"In a world gone mad, we will not spank the monkey, but the monkey will spank us. "
errm, ok different film. (Same characters though), IGMC.
free content ad network
I always parse that phrase as "content free ad network". Is it just me?
Give them data.
Anybody up for a fork of Android? Features to be included: Spoofing MAC address and geolocation data, randomly selecting user ID and contacts from a pool, random web searches so the real ones become statistically insignificant, etc. They want data? Give them data, lots of it, all useless crap.
Stop using facebook!
If you care about privacy, then you will stop using facebook. If you really care about privacy, then you won't use google either. Where to go? Try Ravetree, DuckDuckGo, HushMail, etc. They offer great services and they don't violate our privacy.
Re: Stop using facebook!
Or switch back to using a phone without a data connection?
A little difficult to slurp your data without a connection isn't it?

A wicked comedy about the perils of making your dreams come true Quirky, clever, cubicle-bound Jennifer Johnson is desperate. Everyone around her is getting married, while she's still single and stuck writing ad copy about men's dress socks. Her life hits crisis level, launching her into a humiliating and painfully hilarious quest to find Prince Charming at any cost. This includes agonizing online dates, diet-clinic cults, drag-queen fights, and a debilitating addiction to Cinnabon icing. When she meets handsome, wealthy Brad Keller, she wonders if he's the answer to all her dreams, or is he just too good to be true? Darkly funny and outrageously honest, McElhatton's wit shines in this no-holds-barred cautionary tale about getting what you want--and how it can be the worst thing for you.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Vice President-elect Joe Biden chose as his chief of staff a man who once served in that same role for Vice President Al Gore, Democratic officials said Thursday.
Ron Klain also was an adviser for Biden during his Democratic primary bid and helped the Delaware senator prepare for the vice presidential debate during the fall campaign.
The officials disclosed Biden's selection on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly for President-elect Barack Obama's transition team. That group is planning to announce senior staff appointment later this week.
Klain is the latest former Clinton administration official that Obama has turned to as he moves from campaigning to governing and sets up his own administration.
Klain is a former partner in the Washington law and lobbying firm O'Melveny & Myers. At the firm, Klain's lobbying clients included Fannie Mae, U.S. Airways, Time Warner and the Coalition for Asbestos Resolution, a business group that sought government help resolving asbestos lawsuits, Senate lobbying records show. The most recent lobbying Klain appears to have done was in 2004 for Fannie Mae and Time Warner.
Last week, Obama named Rahm Emanuel, a former Clinton political and policy adviser in the White House, as his chief of staff, and former Clinton veteran John Podesta is among those leading his transition team.
And on Wednesday, Obama named a team heavy on experience in the Clinton administration to help guide transition efforts in the State, Defense and Treasury departments. He named two leaders for each of the three agencies, and all six served in some capacity under President Clinton.
Klain was involved in both of Clinton's presidential campaigns, and was Gore's top aide in the vice presidential office for several years. He later had a senior role in Gore's 2000 campaign, including the Florida recount and Supreme Court stand off that ultimately tipped the election to George W. Bush. Actor Kevin Spacey played Klain in the 2008 HBO film "Recount."
In 2004, Klain was among several veterans of the Clinton-Gore political campaigns who advised retired Gen. Wesley Clark in the Democratic primaries. He backed Biden, whom he had known from working with Senate committees, four years later.

Rokita won re-election on November 6, 2012.[1]
He previously was the Indiana Secretary of State from 2002 to 2010.[2]
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Rokita is an average Republican member of Congress, meaning he will vote with the Republican Party on the majority of bills.
Rokita grew up in Munster, located in Lake County in Northwest Indiana. He holds a bachelor of arts degree from Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, where he was an Eli Lilly Fellow. He has a law degree from Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis.[2]
- 2002-2010: 59th Secretary of State of Indiana[3]
- 2011-Present: United States House of Representatives, Indiana's 4th Congressional District
Political experience
After several years as a practicing attorney in the state, Todd Rokita established himself politically in the Secretary of State's office in 1997, first as its general counsel and then as deputy secretary of state prior to his election for the top position in 2002. Rokita was elected by his national peers to serve on the nine-member federal Executive Board of the Election Assistance Commission. The Commission is charged by law to address election reform issues on a nation-wide basis. Rokita has testified about Indiana's voting reform efforts before the United States Congress. He also serves as Indiana's chief securities fraud investigator having closed hundreds of enforcement actions against violators of securities law, uncovered investor fraud scams, and helped secure numerous felony convictions and millions of dollars in restitution and fines during his tenure. Rokita has served as both treasurer and president of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS).
In September 2009, Rokita outlined a plan to reform how Indiana's legislative districts are drawn to reduce gerrymandering. He proposed making it a felony for lawmakers to use political data or incumbents' addresses when drawing electoral maps. Indiana's congressional districts and districts for the Indiana State Senate and Indiana House of Representatives will next be redrawn after the 2010 Census. Rokita says boundaries should follow existing county and township lines, and that each of the 50 Senate districts should be divided into two House districts. This will lead to more competitive legislative elections.
He has received the Aspen-Rodel Fellowship in Public Leadership, Toll Fellowship from the Council of State Governments, the Indianapolis Choice Award from the Indianapolis Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), Merit Award from the International Association of Commercial Administrators (IACA) and the Small Business Statesman of the Year from the National Federation of Independent Business.

- Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education
- Subcommittee on Workforce Protections
- Committee on House Administration
- United States House of Representatives Committee on Budget[5]

Black voter comment
At a Republican event in Indiana, Rokita encouraged his political peers to reach out to the black community. While discussing how ninety percent of blacks ultimately end up voting for the Democratic Party in national elections, he remarked, "How can that be? Ninety to ten. Who's the master and who's the slave in the relationship? How can that be healthy?" Four days following these remarks, Rokita issued an apology. [15] Rokita also met privately with 11 members of the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus to apologize for the comment. Rep. Vernon Smith, D-Gary, told reporters, "He apologized to our satisfaction. We do believe he was sincere in his apology," Smith said. "I think there are greater issues -- education, health, economics for the black community -- that are more important than us spending all this time on a slip of the lip. I do believe that we all make mistakes (and) that if we expect to be forgiven, we need to forgive."

November 28, 2014
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Republican Rep. Dean Heller's use of the Broadway classic "Big Spender" in Nevada radio and television ads criticizing his Democratic opponent, Jill Derby, has resulted in a lawsuit filed against him by the estate of the music's composer, Cy Coleman.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court by the estate, through its Notable Music Co., naming Heller and his media firm, Texas-based Weeks & Co. LLP. That followed a letter from the estate asking Heller to stop using the song in his advertisements.
Coleman's widow, Shelby Coleman, says the estate turned down a request to use "Big Spender" as background music in the ads critical of travel expenses by Derby during her 18 years as a state university-college system regent, but the ads were produced anyway.
Heller spokesman Stewart Bybee has said the song is "an obvious parody," and there's "no rational likelihood that any reasonable person would mistake it for the original song or lyrics."

Re: He went cold turkey last week
Andromeda--So sorry to hear about DH getting a DUI, I've never gotten one but people come to my AA group all the time by court order for them. If it is a first offence withluck it won't be too bad.
I can guarentee (this thing doesn't have a spell checker) that the paxil could cause his alcohol cravings. That's why I am going to AA meetings. The drugs make you want to drink and take away the willpower to keep from doing it, and makes it so you don't even care to stop.
Having been on paxil for eight months and then going cold turkey could more than likely cause some problems, but they might not show upright away. Seeing that he has only been off the drug for a week reinstating shouldn't be too hard, if he is aminable, that whould have him stable for the court date. Once that is past you could try to get him on a proper taper, 'cause CT is usually bad news in the long run.
Wishing you the best,keep us posted.

Research Interests
In the early 1990s, my lab derived ES cells from an Old World monkey (the rhesus macaque) and a New World monkey (the common marmoset), work that led to derivation of human ES cells in 1998. Much of my lab's research after that derivation was dedicated to establishing human ES cells as an accepted, practical model system. To that end, we developed defined culture conditions, methods for genetic manipulation, and approaches for the in vitro differentiation of human ES cells to key lineages of clinical importance including hematopoietic, neural, cardiac, and placental tissues. More recently, in 2007, my laboratory described the isolation of human induced pluripotent (iPS cells) cells with the basic properties of human ES cells but derived from somatic cells.
My research now focuses on understanding how a cell can maintain or change identity, how a cell chooses between self-renewal and the initial decision to differentiate, and how a differentiated cell with limited developmental potential can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent cell.
My current research interests include:
- Examining the transcriptional networks in ES cells that mediate self-renewal and commitment to each of the basic lineages of the early embryo.
- Mapping the epigenome of ES cells and their early-differentiated derivatives as a participant in the San Diego Epigenome Center.
- Improving methods for generating human iPS cells, and correcting genetic defects in iPS cells generated from patients with degenerative retinal disease
- Developing new strategies to convert human pluripotent stem and somatic cells into hematopoietic, vascular, and cardiac progenitor cells.
- Understanding clocking mechanisms that control developmental rates.
