about the situation. On today's show, guest host Susan Ormiston talks
to Paul Champ - the lawyer who first brought the complaint forward -

3. LIVING OUT LOUD:
This afternoon, Living Out Loud is on a musical mission. Pretty well
everyone has crafted a rhythm…whether they realize it or not. It can
be tapping a pencil on your desk to build a beat…or blowing across the
neck of a bottle to make a flute-like sound. Today's show pays tribute
to making music with found objects - from pens and paper to fridges
and freezers…there's even garden hosepipe version of Mozart's horn
concerto!
It's "bang it, bash it, twang it and smash it"…on Living Out Loud with
host Robin Brown…today at 1:00 p.m. (1:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

music and revelry on Canada Live… today at 2:00 p.m. (2:30 NT) on CBC

5. IDEAS:
This evening on IDEAS…author Jill Eisen continues her look at how
early experiences can affect our health later on in life. She'll
explore the legacy of early childhood psychologist Harry Harlow…whose
research during the '50s and '60s formed a milestone in the nature/
nurture debate by tipping the balance toward nurture. The debate has
since raged on…and with the advent of the human genome project, the
balance has shifted closer to nature. Tonight's program hears from
Michael Meaney, Steve Suomi and Tom Boyce - three scientists who say
that the debate has become obsolete. They'll join Eisen to explain
their belief that BOTH nature and nurture interact to shape our early
years.
It's part two of the series "The Brains of Babes"…on IDEAS with host
Paul Kennedy, tonight at 9:00 p.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One. Part
