From : WGBH Forum Network | Public Domain Podcast
A genetic disease mostly affecting those of African descent, sickle cell produces debilitating pain and a life sometimes cut short, especially for the undiagnosed. And as a burden largely borne by the underprivileged, sickle cell is not just a medical problem, but a social one. Chasing the Crescent Moon explores the challenges posed by sickle cell through the story of one physician and the lives he has touched. Dr. Kwaku Ohene-Frempong grew from a child of Ghanaian cocoa farmers to become a Yale scholar, an Olympic athlete, and one of the most important international warriors against sickle cell. He also bore a son who suffers from the disease. In his greatest accomplishment, Dr. Frempong established the only city-wide newborn screening for sickle cell in all of West Africa, where 1 in 50 babies suffers from the illness. This radio documentary relates Dr. Frempong's remarkable journey as well as the dramatic stories of his coworkers, staff, patients and their families. Set in Ghana and Philadelphia, the documentary travels from the high tech Comprehensive Sickle Cell Clinic that Dr. Frempong heads at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to his overcrowded Ghanaian clinic. The stories educate, advocate and entrance, conveying the unusual medical and social burdens faced by those fighting sickle cell.

The Jimmy Carter Library presents Heralding Freedom, a discussion of the gulag, the American civil rights movement, and human rights. The Soviet gulag prison system imprisoned millions of innocent people during its infamous history. A panel of human rights leaders discuss its impact on Russia and the world today, as well as offering comparisons to the American civil rights movement. Former US President Jimmy Carter and Ambassador Andrew Young discuss the suppression of political and religious dissidents in the former Soviet Union, the US civil rights movement, and the current work of The Carter Center on human rights.

ATTN: http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/09/army_homeland_090708w/ Above is source for the Amy Goodman news brief. I saw lots of reports calling her various leftist scum slurs and thought a little background would be good for people new to the subject. She was at ground zero on 9/11 and was on the front lines at the RNC where she was FALSELY (charges since dropped) arrested along with her film crew (all credentialed press). She ran from the delegate floor to the street to FIND the cops she was wrongfully detained with her colleagues. Do not attempt to discredit her as she is well respected. Amy's been reporting for over a decade. Many experience cognitive dissonance when reading unsettling yet highly factual and intellectual news. In psychology, cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling or stress caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a fundamental cognitive drive to reduce this dissonance by modifying an existing belief, or rejecting one of the contradictory ideas. - wiki FAIR USE NOTICE: This site contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
