10:31 AM PT: There are still three Congressional races outstanding in California, each of which features a Democrat narrowly leading the incumbent Republican. The closeness of these races is reminding us of the protracted statewide count in the Attorney General race between Kamala Harris and Steve Cooley in 2010, but fortunately, each of our outstanding races are each contained in one county.
• CA-36: Moving south in Riverside County, incumbent Republican Mary Bono Mack trails Democrat Raul Ruiz by 4,500 votes, but is refusing to concede. Riverside County tells us that there are 183,000 votes left to count there. Not all of these are in the district - the district only makes up a third of the county - but even given that, there's likely another 60,000-70,000 votes out here. Ruiz's lead is substantially greater than Bera's, meaning that Bono Mack would need to get 53%+ of the vote among the remaining ballots. The Riverside Registrar is promising an update at 6pm PT tonight, so we'll get a better idea then.
• CA-52: Finally, in San Diego, Dem Scott Peters leads Brian Bilbray by 685 votes. The San Diego RoV tell us that there are 450,000 votes left outstanding, but again, most of these will fall outside the district. About 100,000 of these will likely be in the district. (This squares nicely with the turnout from CA-50 in 2008, where approximately 300,000 votes were cast.) As with CA-07, it's to early to conclude anything from Peters' narrow margin.
10:40 AM PT: MI-01: Here's another candidate who isn't conceding even though his race was called by the AP: Democrat Gary McDowell, who currently trails GOP Rep. Dan Benishek by 2,297 votes. There are an unknown number of absentee and provisional ballots that remain uncounted, but more intriguing is this statement from McDowell, whose campaign says it is "looking to resolve discrepancies between AP-reported numbers and tallying errors in some counties." If this is in fact the case, it certainly wouldn't be the first time the AP has screwed up the vote count.
11:04 AM PT: IL-Gov: Hahahahah! Soon-to-be-ex-Rep. Joe Walsh, who just got turned out of his seat by Democrat Tammy Duckworth, is refusing to rule out a gubernatorial bid in 2014! Comedy:
Q. What about a bid for governor for you? A possibility?
A. You know that I believe fervently in that vision. I don't know of many other candidates who articulate that vision. Am I going to do something? Oh gosh, I don't know. People approach me every day and ask, "Walsh, are you going to run for the governor? Are you going to run for Senate?" I want to do my part to lead a movement to present a vision to this. I'd rather go down fighting. Democrats have ruined this state but they've been able to do it because the Republicans have allowed them to.
11:24 AM PT (David Jarman): WA-Gov: The numbers tightened a tiny bit with yesterday's count in the Washington gubernatorial race, where, as is Evergreen State tradition, we may be a few more days before we get a call. Dem Jay Inslee now leads GOPer Rob McKenna 51.1-48.9. King County, however, has at least 400,000 ballots yet to count. The Inslee camp estimates that McKenna would need to pull 45% in the remaining King County ballots to win (and 60% in the remaining non-King County ballots); however, he's currently pulling 37.3% in King County. For a more detailed analysis, you might check out the spreadsheet put together by our own dgb. (The "d" is for Dave, as in Dave's Redistricting App.) His straight-line extrapolation points to a 52.2% win for Inslee in the end.
As for why it takes so long to count all of Washington's ballots, it's always a convenient explanation to blame the state's vote-by-mail system, which only requires ballots to be postmarked by Election Day (as opposed to Oregon, which requires them to be received by Election Day). Goldy argues, though, that Oregon manages to get its count done much faster by virtue of putting more resources into the counting process, and by virtue of starting the count earlier (allowing ballots received early to be processed early). King County has a current processing capacity of only 75,000 ballots per day, so as long as that continues, it's going to take more than a week to count regardless of when the ballot deadline is.
11:29 AM PT: FL-18: So even though GOP Rep. Allen West trails Patrick Murphy by more than the 0.5% margin which would enable him to seek a recount, and even though the remaining absentee ballots look very unlikely to change that picture, this is what he's doing:
West has filed an injunction against Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties supervisor of elections to impound their voting machines and paper ballots. West also is demanding a hand recount in St. Lucie County.A court hearing is taking place in Palm Beach on Thursday at 5pm; a hearing in St. Lucie is scheduled for Friday. Murphy's campaign has issued a fundraising appeal to help defray the legal bills they've suddenly started running up. (Republican law firms are notorious for deploying their associates pro bono to help candidates like West. More like faux bono, amirite?)
11:49 AM PT: FL Lege: Here's a new category to add to the DLCC's list: supermajorities broken. While Florida Democrats are still deep in the minority in both houses of the state legislature, they saw important gains on Tuesday night, and quite critically, those gains have erased the GOP's two-thirds majorities in both chambers. Also of note: Chris Dorworth, who was expected to become the next House speaker, appears to be on the verge of losing to an unheralded and underfunded Democratic challenger. While it would be an understatement to say there's an extremely long way to go before Democrats can even think about taking back power, at least this will put a few brakes on Republican extremism.
12:12 PM PT: NV-Sen: Fuck this, I'm already bored of the 2014 elections. Thankfully, we can move on to 2016, because Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he's "planning on running for reelection" four years hence. Okay, done with 2016. Anyone talk to Heidi Heitkamp yet to see if she plans to seek a second term in '18?
Back to the already-ancient 2012 races for a moment, though. Reid Wilson points out that Nevada's unique "none of the above" ballot option took 45,000 votes in the Senate contest, while GOP Sen. Dean Heller beat Democrat Shelley Berkley by only 12,000. It's hard to say whom NOTA might have helped, but you'll recall that Republicans launched an unsuccessful lawsuit earlier this year to overturn the institution. It's also the first time in quite a while that NOTA (which is only used in statewide races) drew more votes than the winner's margin.
12:27 PM PT: OH-Gov: I think I love former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland as much as I hate the man who beat him two years ago, Republican John Kasich, and I fervently hope that Teddy Ballgame decides on a rematch for 2014. He's always kept the door open to the possibility, but he's 71 and there are other up-and-coming Dems (like Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald) who need Strickland to decide so that they can move forward with their own plans. But for now, we're still reading tea leaves, and here are dregs from the latest cuppa:
"Am I the candidate that is going to run against him? I'm certainly not prepared to say that," Strickland told The Plain Dealer just hours after both Obama and Brown were re-elected. "But I will be fully participating in efforts to get a Democrat in the governor's office. And I think there (are) strong possibilities other than myself that could do that. I haven't closed any doors but I haven't made any plans either."
12:36 PM PT (David Jarman): Polltopia: Sensing a new trend today: newspapers hanging their own pollsters out to dry. One is the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, which published a story about how the pollsters basically got it right... except for their very own pollster, Susquehanna (who almost single-handedly got susceptible people thinking that Pennsylvania was competitive). That seems like basic CYA than an ominous callout, though, as Susquehanna is a Republican polling firm and the Tribune-Review is an explicitly right-wing paper.
The second one seems more important, though: a much bigger and more serious paper, the Miami Herald, published a story giving its own much higher-profile and more seriously-regarded pollster, Mason-Dixon, the opportunity to address its final poll that gave Mitt Romney a 6-point lead on the election's eve. M-D's director, Brad Coker, goes ahead and blames Hurricane Sandy for screwing up his sample (which, of course, had nothing to do with Florida). Given the skepticism with which their article treats Coker's excuses, you've got to wonder whether Mason-Dixon (who were already sacked by the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2010 after their woeful NV-Sen polling) will still be working for the Herald next time.
12:49 PM PT: The Live Digest continues here.

REGION: Local agencies would suffer from proposed budget
$12.5B in cuts would affect higher ed, economic development
Budget cuts proposed Monday by Gov. Jerry Brown would affect government agencies all across San Diego and Riverside counties, including Cal State San Marcos, community colleges, courts, public hospitals and some fire departments.
The governor's $127.4 billion budget proposal seeks to close a $25.4 billion deficit projected over the next 18 months and create a $1 billion reserve.
That would be accomplished with $12.5 billion in spending cuts, $12 billion in revenue increases and $1.9 billion in other adjustments.
The spending cuts, which must be approved by the state Legislature, would affect a wide variety of programs, including health care for the poor, child care subsidies and public universities.
In addition, many state workers would take pay cuts.
Hikes in revenue would come primarily from extending for five years recent increases in sales tax, income tax and vehicle license fees.
Extending those tax increases would need voter approval in June.
The other adjustments include eliminating the roughly 400 redevelopment agencies in California.
The state would pay off all bonded debt accumulated by those agencies. But no future projects could be funded.
Officials from local cities said they expected the proposal to prompt legal challenges that could delay the elimination of redevelopment agencies for months or even years.
The governor's $25.4 billion deficit estimate includes an $8.2 billion projected shortfall for the fiscal year that ends June 30, and a $17.2 billion projected shortfall for the next fiscal year.
The projected deficit would increase to $26.6 billion if the proposed sale of state buildings continues to be blocked by the courts.
K-12 education spared
One area of state spending that was essentially spared from the governor's proposed cuts was kindergarten through 12th-grade education.
"Schools have borne the brunt of spending reductions in recent years, so this budget maintains funding at the same level as the current year," Brown said.
But higher education was not spared.
The California State University and University of California systems would each suffer $500 million in cuts.
CSU Chancellor Charles Reed said the 18 percent funding cut would probably limit access for prospective students and restrict classes for current students at all 23 CSU campuses, including Cal State San Marcos.
In addition, tuition would be increased from $26 to $36 per unit at California community colleges, including Mt. San Jacinto College in Menifee.
Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott said Monday that the tuition hike could reduce statewide enrollment by 350,000 students per year.
Hospitals and medical clinics would be affected by a $1.7 billion cut to the Medi-Cal program. There would also be a $1.5 billion cut to the state's welfare-to-work program and a $500 million cut to the Department of Developmental Services.
The state's court system would take a $200 million cut.
However, some of the windfall from eliminating redevelopment agencies would be transferred to courts under the governor's proposal.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, which helps fights wildfires in most of Riverside County and the rest of the state, would lose $250 million in annual funding under the governor's proposal.

The myth of the Dragon is one of fire breathing creatures that live to terrorize man and their kingdoms. The Jamis Dragon is not the kind that breathes fire, but rather breathes steel and lives to terrorize the trail. The Jamis Dragon is the mountain bike that built Jamis' strong reputation in the early years, and the legend is still going strong. If you're loyal to the 26" wheel size and committed to the character and liveliness of a steel hardtail, the Dragon Pro offers a mountain biking in its purest form.
In 2011 the Dragon Pro was the lightest possible Dragon you could get. Crafted from Reynolds 853 air- hardened steel, the Dragon Pro provides an incredibly resilient and sturdy ride. For the drivetrain, the Dragon Pro employs Shimano Deore XT components including the shifters, both front and rear derailleurs, and the Hallowtech II crankset, for a seamlessly versatile, yet efficient drivetrain. The Shimano Deore XT hydraulic disc brakes bring you to a quick stop, once you've decided to pack it in for the day. The Rock Shox Tora TK 29 fork features 32mm stanchions and 100mm of travel for small bump suspension without reduced stiffness. External rebound damping allow you to customize your suspension to your riding conditions, while the lockout restricts the air spring suspension for rigidity and power transfer.
The WTB Silverado Comp saddle is super light and comfortable, while the Ritchey Comp stem, handlebar and seatpost produce a firm front end for excellent control. The Dragon's proven geometry is both functional on the up hills and comfortable going down. Pair the Dragon Pro bomb-proof steel frame with its clever build-group, and throw in the agility of 26" wheels with 100mm of travel on top, and you've got yourself the fun-machine you've always wanted. To ride a Dragon was once thought impossible. Now you can ride your very own.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)
uses shock waves to break a
kidney stone into small pieces that can more easily
travel through the
urinary tract and pass from the body.
See a picture of
ESWL is usually an
outpatient procedure. You go home after the treatment
and do not have to spend a night in the hospital.
After ESWL, stone fragments usually
pass in the urine for a few days and cause mild pain. If you have a larger
stone, you may need more ESWL or other treatments.
ESWL may be used on people with a
kidney stone that is causing pain or blocking the urine flow. Stones that are
between 4 mm (0.16 in.) and
2 cm (0.8 in.) in diameter are
most likely to be treated with ESWL.
ESWL may work best for kidney
stones in the kidney or in the part of the ureter close to the kidney. Your
surgeon may try to push the stone back into the kidney with a small instrument
(ureteroscope) and then use ESWL.
ESWL is usually not used if
For 9 out of 10 patients who have kidney
stones smaller than
10 mm (0.4 in.)—either in the
kidney or in the
ureter—ESWL gets rid of all of the stone or leaves
only small fragments that don't cause any symptoms.1
Complications of ESWL include:
ESWL does not replace the need for the
preventive treatment of kidney stones, such as drinking enough fluids so that

ESWL does not successfully treat
cystine kidney stones. These stones do not break up easily.

Martin, looks like engine mounting point, not an issue. Mount up the motor and run it through its paces and then check for leaks. On the rear wheel- go with the 94 or whatever you can find to get a disk mounted. Adding the 30+ pounds to the weight for auxiliary fuel tanks, the stock drum will wear out real fast at race speeds. I raced a 91 factory prepped HRC 626 for a few years and went through rear brakes often, sometimes on only a 250 mile race. Have you looked into the removable sub frame option yet? Copy a CR 250/450 design. Find diagram on the web. Add sleeves at mount points and gussets with holes drilled at all weld points. I will look for pics of my old girl to show you.
Coil- double it up with two units.
Ignition- update to XRL 650
Clutch- heavier springs and plates.
Oil cooler- use XR 400 unit, mount 2 up one on top of the other- cool oil,is your best friend.
Frame- gusset the rear mounts where connected at swing arm- just peace of mind- poor welds here.
Wheels- heavy duty spokes, especially on much heavier rear. Stockers will snap on a square edge high speed bump.
More if my feeble mind can recall what my team did back in 91-2.
Keep the posts coming. - Jerry

McAlister's Deli announces its first location in Omaha, Nebraska. The restaurant will kick off a week of Grand Opening festivities on Monday, December 9 beginning at 10:00 a.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony with The Greater Omaha Chamber.
"We are very excited to introduce Omaha to McAlister's great food and genuine hospitality," says McAlister's Deli owner George Pendleton. "McAlister's offers a wide array of menu items from sandwiches and salads to our giant spuds and our famous tea. We look forward to celebrating our grand opening and encourage guests to come and join in the fun." Pendleton currently owns two McAlister's locations in Colorado and plans to open five additional restaurants in the Omaha area over the next three years.
The restaurant, located at 3318 12405 West Center Road in Westwood Plaza, has a week-long celebration planned with daily events including:

Chad Lowe and Kim Painter Tie the Knot
Emmy-winning actor Chad Lowe, 42, brother of Rob Lowe and ex-husband of Hilary Swank, married his long-time girlfriend, film producer Kim Painter on Saturday. Their daughter, 15-month-old Mabel, served as ring bearer and Rob was best man. The nuptials took place in front of a small group consisting of close family and friends at Terranea Resort in Los Angeles.
Lowe and Painter have been together since January 2007, and their daughter was born in May 2009. Baby Mabel is the first girl born into the Lowe family in nearly four generations. While certainly Rob Lowe has the more prominent career, Chad Lowe won an Emmy for his portrayal of a man diagnosed with HIV in Life Goes On and has done stints on television such as ER, 24 , Melrose Place and movies including Pretty Little Liars. He is also a director of My Beautiful Ohio.

Comments about SWELL SOLID SS TEE:
As advertised, the shirt is wider in the shoulders than pocketless SWELL tee shirts. Length is similar, suitable for tucking in. Stitching connecting sleeves to body is like the shoulder yoke stitching, heavier than usual. The fabric is fairly heavy, shirt was made in Honduras.

Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha will kick off the races at the Buddh International Circuit for the upcoming Grand Prix. To be held on October 28, the actors are going to be at the event to promote their upcoming film Son Of Sardaar.
Both Ajay and Sonakshi will come together to sing the National Anthem next week, right before the race. The actors will then sit back and witness India's biggest motor racing spectacle. An ardent fan of motor racing Ajay says, "I have been busy with the post production of Son of Sardaar and F1 is going to be a refreshing outing for me. It feels great to be a part of the sport that has the perfect combination of entertainment, action and excitement. I am surely going to enjoy the experience, and I wish luck to all the drivers."
Looking forward to the whole experience, Sonakshi says, "Girls love fast cars and I just cannot wait for the race. F1 is a boys' sport but I am going to prove that girls can enjoy it as well. This is my first time at a race and I'm going to make sure the experience is SOS size!"
Askari Zaidi confirmed on behalf of the organisers, "We are pleased to announce that Ajay and Sonakshi will be a part of the final day ceremonies of the Indian Grand Prix."
The film revolves around two warring Sardar families and is the remake of Telugu film Maryada Ramanna.

who got a good routine for chest workout
start with either incline or flat (db or bar whichever is your preference)
move onto some type of flies
3 sets of each 9 sets total for the workout
4-6 reps for each set reaching failure between 4-6 reps
stay at the same weight for the exercise
that's why i use and have had great success with
sounds good, why only 4 to 6 reps, is that like really heavy weight, i dont lift light but i dont lift heavy maybe thats my problem
im 170 pounds and i bench 110 10-12 reps
yeah like i said you want to fail on each set between the 4th and 6th rep today for instance i began with incline and did 265 for sets of 6, 6, 5 and failed on the last rep of each
however i would spend A LOT of time researching proper diet as well its way more important than training, you CAN gain with insufficient training and a great diet, but its REALLY hard to gain with great training and a crappy diet
morning Grapefruit, highcarb cereal (frosted mini wheats) skim milk, go to gym in 45 mins workout
come home drink 0 carb protein shake mixed with "GATORADE the special transport system", one hour later peanut butter jelly sandwich water, 3 hours later salad chicken cutlets wheat bread butter, 3 hours later wich would be close to bed maybe a few slices of turkey and carb counters glass of milk "HOOD MILK"
lemme know what u think about that diet, becuase im loosing pounds pretty quickly im doin cardio 4 times a week on a empty stomach in the morning walking 45mins on incline at 6 degrees. i went from 175 to 168 in 3 weeks could i be loosing muscle
welcome travis.good to see you here.lots of good people here and tons of info.just use the search feature.see you at the gym.
you are not eating ANYWHERE near enough food
best i can tell you are barely eating 4 meals a day make it more like 6 and (i'm assuming you want to bulk) try to take in ~2 grams of protein per pound of body weight (adjusting as you gain more weight
see my problem is.... Im tryin to get bigger but its not my main consern i really just wanna rip up my mid section cuz i have neglected it for the last 2 years

youcant "rip up" your midsection anymore than you can rip up something else... your fat comes off as it comes off... some people are prone to store it in different areas...
your diet definitely sucks tho... that looks like maybe 2k calories at the most... i know a lot of girls that eat more than that and are skinny as a rail...
not enough carbs or protein... not even remotely close... why drink a 0 carb protein shake? why not a shake with equal amounts?
seems you need to research your diet before you even begin worrying about a "special" workout
If you want to get ripped, the best way to do it is to put on more muscle. Muscle burns calories just existing. As for the best way to train chest, as it seems to happen so often, I have to agree with Glen. My workout is pretty close to his.
Bench work up to one heavy set to failure. Last week my bench workout was 135x10, 185x10, 225x8, 275x6, 296x6, 315x5
Incline press 3 sets of 4-6
flyes 3 sets of 6-10
I'm 5'8 and the last time on the scale 212 and my chest is almost 50".
im learning im learning, so i guess theres really no way to get lean witout loosing muscle and no way to gain alot of muscle witout adding fat, maybe i can eat alot more and just do cardio twice a day on my off days and once a day on my training days.
Than as I am learning thats to much cardio.......max 4 days a week ( and thats even high).......Cant belive i am saying this but your body needs a day or two off.....
that's just not true man, you CAN lose fat without losing muscle and you CAN gain muscle without gaining fat . . . you just have to know what you are doing and don't drop or gain too much weight at onceOriginally Posted by TravTriggz
gradually ramp calories up or down, never make huge changes, follow a proper diet and you will be fine
its very true that adding muscle will lean you out
a) more muscle will mean more lbm which means lower bf %
b) muscle burns fat just by existing as long as it is in the proper environment (i.e. proper diet)
thanks for the info
i had a session wit my trainer today he layed down some rules for me , probably gonna see alot more progress now
I vary my chest workout every couple of weeks. Here is what I did on Saturday:
Flat Bench - 135*12, 225*8, 295*8, 295*8, 295*8 (Usually am at or near failure on last rep)
Incline Dumbells - 3 sets of 8 with 105lb dumbells (although I am starting to use the bar lately with 225 instead)
High and Low cable flies - 3 sets of each alternating them every set.
I was playing around with a high-rep workout for the past couple of weeks on bench. I did 135*12, 225*8, 225*20, 225*6 (On the last set I would hold the weight 1-2" off my chest for a couple of seconds and then continue).
I have done all different varieties over the past 18 months ranging from sets of 6 to sets of 20. I have seen decent progress in strength. When I started I was barely doing 135*8. Now my max is 375.
Find what works for you, but make sure that you keep changing it up.
Hey Trav,
Here's a link to an article that I thought was a great start. If you find it interesting, click on Dr. John Barardi under "authors" on the left of the page. I think the guys a genius when it comes to nutrition. Most people will end up losing muscle when cutting, and gaining fat when bulking, but it doesn't have to be this way. What helped me is just to keep reading. Every night I find articles and increase my knowledge base. Good luck.

Saudi king shakes up religious establishment
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia The Saudi king on Saturday dismissed the chief of the religious police and a cleric who condoned killing the owners of TV networks that broadcast "immoral" content, signaling an effort to weaken the country's hard-line Sunni establishment.
The shake-up – King Abdullah's first since coming to power in August 2005 – included the appointment of a female deputy minister, the highest government position a Saudi woman has attained.
The king also changed the makeup of an influential body of religious scholars, for the first time giving more moderate Sunnis representation to the group whose duties include issuing the religious edicts known as fatwas.
Saudi Arabia's king does not have unlimited power. He has to take into account the sentiments of the sprawling ruling family as well as that of the powerful religious establishment, which helped found the state nearly a century ago.
Abdullah's changes indicate that he has built the necessary support and consensus in the religious elite and in the ruling family.
The religious establishment has come under persistent criticism, in particular because of the actions of the judiciary and the religious police. Agents of the moral police are responsible for ensuring women are covered and men go to mosques for prayer, among other things, but many Saudis say they exploit their broad mandate to interfere in people's lives.
The changes help to dilute the influence that hard-liners have had for decades. The king, who has promoted moderation and interfaith dialogue, has brought in a group of relatively young officials and scholars.
"This is the true start of the promises of reform," said Jamal Khashoggi, editor of Al-Watan newspaper and an experienced observer of the kingdom's politics. "They bring not only new blood, but also new ideas,"
"They are more moderate and many are also close to the reform agenda of the king, having worked closely with him."
The delay in making these changes could also be in part because the necessary officials and scholars had to be trained for the job.
"The people now in charge are not being ordered to implement reform," Khashoggi added. "They believe in reform."
New judges were also named and the Consultative Council – the closest thing the kingdom has to a parliament – was reshuffled.
The king changed the makeup of an influential body of religious scholars known as the Grand Ulama Commission. Its 21 members will now represent all branches of Sunni Islam, instead of the single strict Hanbali sect that has always governed it.
Abdul-Aziz bin Humain will replace Sheik Ibrahim al-Ghaith as head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, which runs the religious police, according to the agency.
Bin Humain, who is believed to be more moderate than his predecessor, will head a body whose agents have been criticized by Saudis for their harsh behavior.
Asked about the complaints, bin Humain sidestepped the question, telling Al-Arabiya TV: "We will seek to achieve the aspirations of the rulers."
The changes came on Valentine's Day, a busy time for the religious police, who are entrusted with ensuring that no one marks the banned holiday. Agents target shops selling gifts for the occasion, and items that are red or suggest the holiday are removed from the shelves. Some salesmen have been detained for days for infractions.

Turkey Blocks Access To Twitter
Friday, March 21, 2014
When people in Turkey tried to access Twitter today, they were blocked and redirected to a statement from Turkey's telecommunications regulator that cited a court order to apply "protection measures."
The Twitter outage comes after the country's prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, vowed to wipe out Twitter after damaging allegations of corruption in his inner circle surfaced on the social media website.
The BBC's Selin Girit joins Here & Now's Sacha Pfeiffer to discuss the Twitter block in Turkey.
