In the last hundred years we humans have gone from salting food, to canning it, and then to freezing it, in an effort to preserve what we eat. Now, the acclaimed author of Depletion & Abundance & A Nation of Farmers, Sharon Astyk takes a decisive and informative new look at food sustainability--that will change the way we think about food, how we shop and ultimately what we eat. In her well-researched new book, INDEPENDENCE DAYS Sharon Astyk helps readers inventory their pantries and make the necessary choices to achieve more self sufficiency. With the recent economic crisis many Americans have moved from being poor to being hungry. At the same time, the trend to eat locally is shifting from being a pricey fringe activity to an essential element of getting by. But how can you eat locally not just when the farmers markets are bountiful but ALL year-round? Sharon Astyk has established herself in the world of food politics and sustainability, www.sharonastyk.com and http://henandharvest.com

Linda Nathan is the founding headmaster of the Boston Arts Academy, the city’s first and only public high school for the visual and performing arts. BAA sends over 95 percent of its graduates to college—all residents of the city of Boston. The Boston Arts Academy comprises an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse student body, yet 94 percent of its graduates are accepted to college. Compare this with the average urban district rate of 50 percent. How do they do it? This remarkable success, writes Principal Linda Nathan, is in large part due to asking the right questions. With engaging honesty, Nathan gives readers a ring-side seat as faculty, parents, and the students themselves grapple with these questions, attempt to implement solutions, and evaluate the outcomes. Stories that are inspirational as well as heartbreaking reveal the missteps and failures—as well as the successes. Nathan doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but seeks to share her insights on schools that matter, teachers who inspire, and students who achieve. lindanathan.net

Mean Girls, Meaner Women, written by Dr. Erika Holiday and Dr. Joan I. Rosenberg, two well-known psychologists long involved in women's issues, provide answers about this baffling behavior. They take a look at hurtful behavior between women from the perspective of both the target and the victim. The authors use groundbreaking brain research to explain why being the target of a woman's hurtful behavior and being socially excluded can be so excruciatingly painful to women. Holiday and Rosenberg offer compelling information for understanding the hidden dynamics (psychological, biological, social and media influences) that lead women to hurt or oppress women and that comprimise authentic female relationships. Mean Girls, Meaner Women is a riveting read for females interested in understanding women's relationships, building closer and more collaborative bonds with each other, and living authentically. Questions designed to help girls and women increase self awareness and add strength and depth to their relationships with each other are found throughout the book.

I will have on a special guest today. Yan Trokel, M.D. is a Cosmetic Surgeon specializing in cosmetic facial surgery. His areas of expertise include cosmetic facial surgery, endoscopic surgery, reconstructive surgery of the soft and hard tissues following cancer resection or trauma, orthognathic, and craniofacial surgery. Dr. Trokel is the Founder and Director of The YAN Center for Corrective & Cosmetic Surgery. He is a Fellow of the American Association of Maxillofacial Surgeons, The American Medical Association, and The American Dental Association. He is Board eligible by the American Board of Maxillofacial Surgery and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Trokel also serves as a Facial Cosmetic Surgery Consultant in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, NY, and Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, NY. Y-Lift; a NEW proven, non-invasive procedure that restores and improves the appearance of the face from the forehead to jaw line to neck more effectively with more natural-looking results than the antiquated face lift. According to Dr. Trokel, the face is like a balloon. As it deflates, or loses volume as part of the natural aging process, the surface that was once tight becomes misshapen, wrinkled and sunken. The solution is not to remove and tighten excess skin which occurs during a traditional facelift, but to replenish lost volume and restore youthful facial contours. The solution is the Y Lift. There is no longer a need for surgery as the results are so revolutionary and not at all traumatic. www.ylift.com

What if just about everything you thought you knew about supplements and health turned out to be... absolutely wrong? Nutrition expert Dr. Brian Clement, director of the world-famous Hippocrates Health Institute, explores the various myths that have made supplements a "buyer beware" industry. "Supplements Exposed" strips away layers of deception to reveal the truth about what millions of supplement users each year have taken for granted. This provocative book guides you through the minefield of choices you face every time you buy vitamins and minerals. It shows you how to decipher product labels that are otherwise deceptive, how to choose naturally occurring (plant-derived) supplements, why recommended daily allowances spread confusion, and much more.

Acclaimed science writer James Schwartz presents the history of genetics through the eyes of a dozen or so central players, beginning with Charles Darwin and ending with Nobel laureate Hermann J. Muller. In tracing the emerging idea of the gene, Schwartz deconstructs many often-told stories that were meant to reflect glory on the participants and finds that the “official” version of discovery often hides a far more complex and illuminating narrative. The discovery of the structure of DNA and the more recent advances in genome science represent the culmination of one hundred years of concentrated inquiry into the nature of the gene. Schwartz’s multifaceted training as a mathematician, geneticist, and writer enables him to provide a remarkably lucid account of the development of the central ideas about heredity, and at the same time bring to life the brilliant and often eccentric individuals who shaped these ideas.

The Skinny on Success is a compilation of the best thinking on the subject of success. Jim Randal will be here today to talk about it.Relying on thought leaders from ancient Rome to the present day, this book pulls back the curtain on success and separates the wheat from the chaff. If you want the real story, pick it up and invest one hour. It will be one of the best hours you have ever spent!! Webster's Dictionary defines "success" as the "attainment of wealth, favor or eminence." Success is, of course, different for each of us but for most of us, the obtaining of money, fame or power is right up there. Our book is about these kinds of tangible success. We take no position on the importance of material versus spiritual success (or even whether they are mutually exclusive). We believe that 99% of the world's success goes to those people who find the courage to pursue their dreams with everything they have. Do you? www.jimrandel.com

This morning I will have an amazing show! Starting things off will be my first guest Shahla Whitmore from Angelbare. Angelbare’s laser is a low level light laser. The laser therapy unit is the most innovative laser system available in today's market. Angelbare Laser system employs cold and soft laser energy, unlike the lasers used in surgery to burn away or obliterate tissue. It is safe, gentle and effective. The laser treatments focus light energy (photons) that normalize damaged tissue by activating enzymes within the body. The improved blood flow from the light significantly increases the number of red corpuscles that deliver life giving oxygen and nutrients to the hair bulb. The infrared light increases cellular metabolism, blood circulation and the supply of oxygen. The synergistic effect created by the two forms of light gives your hair its best chance for a healthy growth cycle. This process helps to produce a stronger, faster, healthier growing hair shaft and a healthy scalp overall. For more information visit them, call, or visit their webite!

I will also be joined by Tom Elias. He will be here to tell us about The Burzynski treatment. It is non-toxic and based on naturally-occurring peptides, now has orphan designation from the FDA and approval for a Phase III multi-center clinical trial against two types of brain tumors that are virtually incurable by any other method: brain stem gliomas and optical path gliomas. A Phase III trial against astrocytomas is also about to be approved. This is the same treatment the FDA called a fraud while it was attempting to imprison Dr. Burzynski in the late 1990s. The change is due to the treatment's continued strong performance and changes in personnel at the FDA. Our new fourth printing of The Burzynski Breakthrough has just appeared this week, it is not yet in bookstores, but can be ordered at Amazon.com and eBay, discounted about one-third from the cover price at both sites. Orders can also be placed by email at burzbook@aol.com,

Stacey Bell has been a registered dietitian for 35 years, and has worked in that capacity and conducted clinical research studies for 20 years. She received a doctorate in nutrition from Boston University, with Honors in 1994. She was on the faculty at Harvard Medical School in Boston, and has published over 70 peer-reviewed scientific articles. Her research interests included obesity, diabetes, cancer, AIDS, burned patients, and critical illness. Faced with the challenge of counseling her overweight patients, and skeptical of exaggerated claims by some dietary supplements, Stacey J. Bell, D.Sc., dietitian and author decided to conduct her own research project. She took pad and paper into her local drug store and began writing down all the ingredients and ingredient blends for the myriad of supplements being marketed for weight loss. She, along with her colleagues, Wendy Van Ausdal and Greg Grochoski performed a thorough search of scientific journals to determine which of the ingredients were shown to be effective based on published clinical studies. Their goal: “To make consumers, medical professionals, and retailers aware of those supplements that will provide the best results based on published clinical data.” The full results of the study are published in the article, “Do Dietary Supplements Help Promote Weight Loss,” Journal of Dietary Supplements, March, 2009. staceyjbell.com 

Michael Tucker and his wife, Jill Eikenberry, are enjoying the early years of retirement in their dream house, a beautiful 350-year-old stone farmhouse in the central Italian province of Umbria, when life rears its ugly head on their summer plans. Jill’s mother’s second husband, Ralph, has passed away, and Michael and Jill must leave the respite of the Italian countryside and travel westward to console Lora, Jill’s mother, and help her plan her future. Thus begins Family Meals, a beautifully told memoir that explores the meaning of family and examines the sacrifices we make for those we love. After Ralph’s death, Lora begins a rapid decline into dementia, and Jill wrestles with the decision to move her from Santa Barbara to New York City. The Tuckers initially attempt to place Lora in a senior residence in New York, but when an apartment becomes vacant right across the hall from them, they grab it for Lora. Michael and Jill’s children, Alison and Max—much to their parents’ happiness—decide not only to relocate to Manhattan but also move in together. Their family, which had been a loose network of individual strands, has become, remarkably, a unit. It’s all very Italian.

After Robert Jordan's death, Brandon Sanderson was selected by Harriet McDougal (Robert Jordan's widow), to complete the final book in Jordan's epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time. Harriet asked him to complete the series after being deeply impressed by Mistborn: The Final Empire. A Vietnam veteran who got his start in fantasy by extending the popular Conan the Barbarian series, Robert Jordan introduced a series of his own in 1990 and became a cult favorite. The Wheel of Time saga casts an epic struggle against evil in a complex, compelling world that keeps bringing readers back. The final volume of the Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn books, was chosen by Jordan’s editor---his wife, Harriet McDougal---to complete the final book. The scope and size of the volume was such that it could not be contained in a single book, and so Tor proudly presents The Gathering Storm as the first of three novels that will make up A Memory of Light. This short sequence will complete the struggle against the Shadow, bringing to a close a journey begun almost twenty years ago and marking the conclusion of the Wheel of Time, the preeminent fantasy epic of our era. www.brandonsanderson.com

What is hell like, and how does one avoid an eternity of torment? Bill Wiese shares his unforgettable experience during which God allowed him to see and feel the agony people endure in hell. Wiese's visit to the devil's lair lasted just twenty-three minutes, but he returned from this with vivid details etched in his memory. He records an accurate account of his experience in this book, presenting more than three hundred scriptures that verify the horrors he endured and observed.

A graduate of UC-Berkeley with a degree in molecular biology, Wendy Northcutt started collecting the stories that make up the Darwin Awards in 1993, and she founded the Web site soon thereafter. She has been profiled in Salon.com and USA Today, and now divides her time between managing the website and working as an Internet consultant. The Darwin Awards Web site has received awards from Yahoo!, USA Today, and the BBC. Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, The Darwin Awards vividly portrays the finest examples of evolution in action, and shows us just how uncommon common sense can be. Marvel at the thief who steals electrical wires without shutting off the current. Gape at the lawnchair jockey who floats to a height of 16,000 feet suspended by helium balloons. Learn from the man who peers into a gasoline can using a cigarette lighter. All three — and many more — contend for Darwin Awards when their choices culminate in magnificent misadventures. These tales of trial and awe-inspiring error—verified by the author and endorsed by website readers—illustrate the ongoing saga of survival of the fittest in all its selective glory. www.darwinawards.com

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is one of the world’s leading relationship experts and spiritual authorities. His twenty-one books have been bestsellers in seventeen languages, and his award-winning syndicated column is read by a global audience of millions. He is the host of TLC’s award-winning Shalom in the Home and was Oprah Winfrey’s love, marriage, and parenting expert on Oprah and Friends. He served for eleven years as rabbi at Oxford University, where he built the Oxford L’Chaim Society into the University’s second largest student organization. In 2000–2001, Michael Jackson sat down with his close friend and spiritual guide, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, to record what turned out to be the most intimate and revealing conversations of his life. It was Michael’s wish to bare his soul and unburden himself to a public that he knew was deeply suspicious of him. The resulting thirty hours are the basis of The Michael Jackson Tapes. There has never been, and never will be, anything like them.

William J. Mann is the author of Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn, which was named a New York Times Notable Book. Mann has worked as a freelance journalist and editor, and has written several other works of fiction and nonfiction, and now How to Be a Movie Star. In the 60s, Elizabeth Taylor's affair with the married Richard Burton knocked John Glenn's orbit of the moon off front pages nationwide. Yet, despite all the gossip, the larger-than-life personality and influence of this very human woman has never been captured. William Mann, praised by Gore Vidal, Patricia Bosworth, and Gerald Clarke for Kate, uses untapped sources and conversations to show how she ignited the sexual revolution with her on- and off-screen passions, helped kick down the studio system by taking control of her own career, and practically invented the big business of celebrity star-making. With unputdownable storytelling he tells the full truth without losing Taylor's magic, daring, or wit.

Patrick K. O’Donnell is the author of five previous books, including Beyond Valor, winner of the prestigious William E. Colby Award, and the highly acclaimed account of the Battle of Fallujah, We Were One, and now They Dared Return. He lives in Arlington, Virginia. Under the command of Frederick Mayer—a German-Jewish refugee, naturalized American citizen and Wildcat Ranger—Operation Greenup was a brazen military exercise behind enemy lines, using a core of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany and locals to gather intelligence and reduce the resistance from SS soldiers. Armed with research in the National Archives, confidential documents and personal interviews, O'Donnell tells a heart-stopping tale of sabotage by men and women who placed everything on the line against a seemingly unstoppable tyranny. 8 pages of b&w photos; map. A never-before-told World War II story of Jewish soldiers on a dangerous mission within the Third Reich—a tale of adventure, espionage, love, and revenge

My first guest today is Rhonda Lenair. She is known as a prophet and visionary who founded a non-medical paradigm called Self(s) Healing that energetically speed-heals self-sabotaging behaviors and thoughts. Her countenance is represented in pictures as golden water, as she always perfectly reflects the life before her and seamlessly becomes it. In her presence, miracles predictably occur whereby people completely outgrow the desire and need to self-abuse. Since 1987, she has helped over 30,000 people worldwide overcome many self-sabotaging problems (e.g. excessive drinking and other self-destructive behaviors and thoughts) that have failed to respond to traditional and alternative approaches.

My guest today is Irene Murphy Lewis. For twelve years Murphy has been traveling to South Africa, researching the stories and myths of the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert. She recorded these to share with the world, which led to her authoring and illustrating the children's book, Why Ostriches Don't Fly and Other Tales from the African Bush, along with the documentary under the same title. During this process she became captivated by the Bushmen's music, innocence and spirituality, which she has attempted to preserve in her documentary, Music that Floats from Afar. She has a unique ability to give voice to the cultural differences that so often divide the people of the world. Through her powerful presentations, thought-provoking writings, and vivid illustrations, Murphy opens our eyes to important, traditional patterns of life that are somewhat undiscovered, yet terribly threatened of extinction. In doing so, she enables people to connect to and learn from the diverse offerings of society, accessing inspiration and insights that empower them to transform their lives and live in harmony with the world around them. www.imurphylewis.org  or www.globalvoice.ws

Y-Lift; a NEW proven, non-invasive procedure that restores and improves the appearance of the face from the forehead to jaw line to neck more effectively with more natural-looking results than the antiquated face lift. According to Dr. Trokel, the face is like a balloon. As it deflates, or loses volume as part of the natural aging process, the surface that was once tight becomes misshapen, wrinkled and sunken. The solution is not to remove and tighten excess skin which occurs during a traditional facelift, but to replenish lost volume and restore youthful facial contours. The solution is the Y Lift. There is no longer a need for surgery as the results are so revolutionary and not at all traumatic. www.ylift.com

In the tradition of their Haunting of the Presidents, national bestselling authors Joel Martin and William J. Birnes write The Haunting of America: From The Salem Witch Trials to Harry Houdini, the only book to tell the story of how paranormal events influenced and sometimes even drove political events. In a narrative retelling of American history that begins with the Salem Witch Trials of the seventeenth century, Martin and Birnes unearth the roots of America's fascination with the ghosts, goblins, and demons that possess our imaginations and nightmares. The authors examine the political history of the United States through the lens of the paranormal and investigate the spiritual events that inspired public policy: channelers and meduims who have advised presidents, UFOs that frightened the nation's military into launching nuclear bomber squadrons toward the Soviet Union, out-of-body experiencers deployed to gather sensitive intelligence on other countries, and even spirits summoned to communicate with living politicians.

Jane Hersey will be here to talk about Halloween. Are you afraid that your kids will keep acting like little goblins after they shed their costumes this Halloween? If so, you share the concerns of millions of parents whose children become hyperactive after eating Halloween treats containing certain artificial food additives, according to Jane Hersey, director of the nonprofit Feingold Association (www.ADHDdiet.org) and author of Why Can't My Child Behave?"Most parents blame sugar when their kids act up after eating candy, but the most likely culprits are actually synthetic food dyes," said Hersey, whose own daughter's behavior was affected by these additives until she was helped by the Feingold Diet. Surprisingly, most synthetic food dyes are produced in Chinese petrochemical factories. In addition to affecting IQ, it only takes a small amount of these additives to trigger a behavioral reaction, such as a temper tantrum, in many young children. The link between synthetic food dyes and behavior was first discovered by Dr. Ben Feingold, the San Francisco pediatrician and allergist who developed the low-additive Feingold Diet (www.ADHDdiet.org), which became popular in the 1970s. This issue faded after Dr. Feingold's death in 1982, but a highly acclaimed British study from the University of Southampton has catapulted it back onto the national stage.

A national enterprise reporter for New York Times, Timothy Egan possesses a keen talent for capturing the qualities of the places and events he writes about that has garnered him several awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for journalism. In his new book Big Burn, Egan narrates the struggles of the overmatched rangers against the implacable fire with unstoppable dramatic force, through the eyes of the people who lived it. Equally dramatic, though, is the larger story he tells of outsized president Teddy Roosevelt and his chief forester Gifford Pinchot. Pioneering the notion of conservation, Roosevelt and Pinchot did nothing less than create the idea of public land as our national treasure, owned by every citizen. The robber barons fought him and the rangers charged with protecting the reserves, but even as TR's national forests were smoldering they were saved: The heroism shown by those same rangers turned public opinion permanently in favor of the forests, though it changed the mission of theforest service with consequences felt in the fires of today.
