Allegations that Afghan detainees were tortured after Canadian Forces handed them over to Afghan authorities have put the Conservative Government on the defensive. We get the Conservative Party's perspective on what happened, how it happened and whether there were other, better options.
The Asian Carp, an invasive species, has breeched an electric fence designed to keep it out of The Great Lakes. We hear from the U.S. Military, which is taking drastic measures to try to keep the Asian Carp out and a biologist who says the Asian Carp could wipe out more than 80 per cent of the native species in The Great Lakes.
By some estimates every third bite of food you eat only exists because of the pollinating work done by bees. So what would happen if all that work simply disappeared? Fifty-Billion honeybees have died in the last three years. And no one is entirely sure why.

In the wake of allegations that Afghan detainees were abused and even tortured after they were handed over by Canadian Forces, we look at what it would take to mount a legal case against Canada and how strong that case would be.

I saw this as the most commented on the Daily Herald, a suburban Chicago newspaper: White Sox fan beat by Cubs fans, loses eye. It's as bad as it sounds. Now, I grew up in Chicago as a Cub fan, but, since my father was a White Sox fan, I never hated the White Sox or their fans. This story show that intracity rivalries coupled with alcohol at a two-year-old's birthday party don't ever mix well. The comments are the usual rivalry remarks, but, if I can channel Mike Pesca for a moment, this may be a replay of the 1906 World Series. It's the only time that the Cubs and White Sox played each othe for the championship. The White Sox won it, but the mayor and the governor had to declare martial law to quell the riots. Let's hope for calmer heads prevail, lo these 102 years later.
Hope your job search is progressing nicely. Cheers.
Your fan (and friend),
