      <div style="color: #ffffff">[Copyright 2015 NPR][Copyright 2015 NPR][Copyright 2015 NPR]Republican presidential candidates will square off for the third time  night. The lineup looks similar to the last debate with the exception of Scott Walker, who dropped out t. 22.
The debate, hosted by CNBC, is expected to focus on business and the economy. It will last two hours, including commercials, and give each candidate a 30-second opening and closing statements. Those were demands made by Donald Trump and Ben Carson, who were unhappy with the three hour GOP debate last th. According to NPR's tallies, Trump has had the most speaking time in all the debates so far.
The four candidates lowest in the polls will take the stage at 6 p.m. ET for the "undercard" debate. The remaining 11 will debate in the prime time event at 8 p.m. ET. Check back at each commercial break to see NPR's updated speaking times.
Here's the tally for the 6 p.m. ET debate, as of the fourth commercial break:
Bobby Jindal: 9:12
Rick Santorum: 8:21
Lindsey Graham: 8:08
George Pataki: 7:18Turkish police raided a broadcasting company in Istanbul known for supporting a government opposition group. The crackdown on the media company is the latest attempt by the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to quell dissent just days before the country's general election on . 1.
The police forcibly entered the company's building and took the Kanalturk and Bugun TV stations off the air. a Vidinli, a journalist for Bugun TV, live tweeted the takeover:
As NPR's Peter Kenyon reported last th, the silencing of journalists in Turkey has been going on for some time:

"Journalists say police have searched several companies. They belong to a group linked to Fellah Gulen. He's the Islamic scholar and self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania. His supporters run some media outlets that have been quite critical of the government. An opposition politician says it's a crackdown on dissent. Basically, analysts say the environment is getting worse."

Kanalturk and Bugun TV belong to Gulen.
The Turkish government, however, says it doesn't arrest people for committing journalism, Peter says. "They say that all of the charges against journalists are for violating security laws or terrorism laws, and these give pretty sweeping powers to authorities."
According to the BBC, 's raid was "linked to an investigation into the group on suspicion on 'terror financing' and 'terror propaganda,' Ankara's chief prosecutor's office said in a statement."[Copyright 2015 NPR][Copyright 2015 NPR]Aimee Argote's voice has the power to bring music to life. The Des Ark singer, guitarist and founder can invigorate a song with her soft, compelling vocals. In the band's new video, her simple routine brings to life a wooden figurine, which dances wildly, snakes in hand, around a fire  a contrast to the gentle music and sentimental words.
"Snake Stuff," from Des Ark's third full-length album, Everything Dies, captures Argote's enchantment and tacit strength. "And when will I get used to this? / Breathing life into these things I love until they quit on me." Sweet and strong, the song and its video find magic in the ordinary.
Andy Byers, who directed the video, writes that he sees Argote as "a force of a woman, and a source of power that gets pulled from somewhere ethereal. I liked the idea that by performing these daily rituals, Aimee ends up becoming the creator of something beyond her understanding or realization."Dr. Tim Littlewood handles more gross and terrifying creatures than just about anyone in London.
And he loves it.
"I'm a parasitologist," he explains, "so I tend to work on things that live inside other animals. And most people think of them as quite gross and revolting. But upon looking at these things and studying them, [I find] they are the most beautiful, spectacular animals you can find."
Although you wouldn't want to get one inside of you.
Littlewood works in London's Natural History Museum, which is a temple to science. The halls are lined with stone arches in amber and blue. Ceilings are vaulted like a cathedral, with light streaming down onto the specimens below.
Littlewood leads us into the museum's depths, where slithery creatures lurk, unseen by tourists.
Our first stop was a plain set of cabinets  buzzing with history. The cabinets were owned by the Rothschild family  as in Baron Rothschild  and he was an avid collector of fleas.
Now fleas  not strike you as the most interesting of parasites, but Littlewood quickly corrects this misapprehension.
"I think they're great," he says. "They're small, they jump enormous heights, they do horrible things to people. What can be more fascinating than that?"
In Littlewood's tour of tiny terrors, we move on to a roundworm known as anisakus simplex. "They look a lot like vermicelli," he says. "A couple of inches long."
And you could run into one at the neighborhood fishger. "Now it wouldn't be too unusual for you to take a piece of ine fish that you bought from the ket nice and fresh, and you start fileting it and a couple of these things start wriggling out," says Littlewood.
If you cook the fish, you'll be okay.
On the other hand, if you're a sushi fan, be wary. You could ingest one of these roundworms. "It is extremely unpleasant because they burrow inside your flesh, and they like to dig around," Littlewood says.
Fish aren't the only potentially hazardous food.
"When you talk to a parasitologist, I can put you off pretty much any food stuff there is," he says. "We can put you off meat quite easily. But I can also put you off plants."
A parasite known as a liver fluke will "put their larval stages on plant material," Littlewood says. "A classic case is watercress." If you ate watercress that carried liver fluke eggs, "you would have a lovely population of flattened liver flukes."
But you don't have to worry about the fat parasite that looks like a grub. They're known as isopod crustaceans. They have legs and exoskeletons and look like mini-armadillos.
"Inspiration for Hollywood movies I'd say," Littlewood says. Fortunately, they're found in fish, clinging to the tongue, which will begin "to atrophy, degrade and fall apart, but the isopod stays there, so it becomes a functional tongue."
Littlewood pauses to admire the new role: "That's a beautiful adaptation as a parasite."
He shares one last parasitic worm, brought in by a member of the museum staff.
It came up due to "natural processes," says Littlewood. "[The staff member] was alarmed one  to see something unexpected in his bathroom, and good soul that he was, remembering that this was a biological specimen and shouldn't necessarily be flushed away. he retrieved the specimen and brought it to us."
This is one parasite story with a happy ending, reports Littlewood: "In the case of this particular individual, this singular problem solved itself."
As a footnote, I emailed Littlewood to inquire whether Halloween candy is safe from parasites. Children everywhere will be happy to hear his response: "There should be no parasites in Halloween candy." <a href="http://wannonce.co/px5dpYh1GMCeCaoVdXl6oOYd9V524CjX4UEZeNfP5ZIJ1kq-gKYM1M7Qip0qlQ79"><a></div>
