To read of the stunning news, of the almost-overnight liquidation of the Ataturkist or secularist military caste, and to try to do so from the standpoint of a seriously secular Turk, is to have a small share in the sense of acute national vertigo that must have accompanied the proclamation of a new system in the second two decades of the 20th century.

CLACKAMAS, Ore. – Two popular Oregon fishing destinations will have an added attraction for anglers over the next two months – the possibility of landing a fish worth $1 million.

Henry Hagg Lake in Washington County and Detroit Lake in Marion County are among 65 bodies of water nationwide that have been chosen for inclusion in the “Wanna Go Fishing for Millions” contest sponsored by Cabella’s, Outdoor Channel, and fish and wildlife agencies from approximately 20 states.

Now that was the Anderson Silva we’ve been wanting to see.

After four straight lackluster defenses of his middleweight title, Silva knocked out Vitor Belfort with a front kick to the chin that has to go down as one of the most incredible knockouts we’ve seen in the sport. But part of what makes Silva amazing is that it might not have even been the most incredible knockout of his career: I’m still partial to the stunning elbow he used to knock out Tony Fryklund in 2006.

When you know Silva is capable of such highlight-reel heroics, it’s easy to grow disappointed in him when he delivers sub-par performances, as he did against Patrick Cote, Thales Leites, Demian Maia and Chael Sonnen. But when Silva is on his game, he’s the best in the world, and he’s now back on top of my pound-for-pound rankings.

With neither Serena or Venus Williams in the Australian Open final, it begs the question everyone in the tennis community has been wondering, who will their mother root for?

Oracene Price took to the power of social media — and 140 characters — to let her feelings on Saturday’s final be known. And she was just as honest as we’d all hope she’d be, even letting (hopefully jokingly) Twitterverse know that she was unsure what the finals matchup was:

After she received this all-important answer, she then quickly let it be known who her favorite in Saturday’s match is:

Price doesn’t want Kim Clijsters to win and explains why she wants Li Na “to kick some butt.”

The first half of this makes complete sense. Price wants a new Slam title winner and she wants a Chinese player to win. Perfectly logical reasoning.

What isn’t so clear is why she doesn’t “want (her) vision blurred!” Does Clijsters have special powers that blinds (or affects) people’s vision? This seems like something only Price knows about — and it will become clearer in a forthcoming tweet.

One of Price’s followers then wanted some clarification that she was indeed rooting for Li Na. Price responds with this response, which definitely includes an insult toward Clijsters, but its specific reference is unclear.

The use of “dubious” (which has several meanings) needed a follow-up explanation, but unfortunately we did not get one. She concludes her Twitter rant with the following harsh swipe at Clijsters:

Price probably means “Medusa stare” here not “scare,” but regardless comparing her to a mythological beast is never a compliment. Chris Chase of Yahoo!’s “Busted Racquet” tries to decipher the Medusa reference: “That must mean Oracene either thinks Clijsters is ugly, has snakes for hair or will be beheaded by Perseus in an attempt to rescue his mother from the evil grips of King Polydectes. I’m guessing it’s the third one.”

All eyes will be on @Clijsterskim in the near future.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The last man to win a Grand Slam — who is not named Rafa or Roger — was eliminated from the Australian Open on Thursday.

Juan Martin del Potro, winner of the 2009 U.S. Open and the emerging star of that season, spent most of 2010 recovering from surgery on his right wrist.

The 22-year-old Argentine returned to Melbourne for his first Grand Slam event in a year, but he has not returned to top form.
