12:00 Nature Drakensberg: Barrier of Spears The Drakensberg Mountains are Southern Africa's Alps, rising more than 11,000 feet into the sky. But beneath their shimmering beauty lies an incredibly hostile environment for the surprising number of creatures that manage to live there. Each spring, drenching rains destroy the grasslands at the base of the mountains, and those who would survive must climb straight up sheer cliffs of volcanic rock, through gauntlets of storms and snow, to reach the carpets of grass on the plateau. The baboons that make this astonishing annual journey may have the advantage of agility, but eland, the world's largest antelope, have long, spindly legs and heavy bodies, which make the climb all but unbelievable. All have babies at their sides while vultures circle overhead. (cc)

8:00 Nova Becoming Human: Birth of Humanity NOVA presents a definitive three-part special that investigates explosive new discoveries that are transforming the picture of how we became human. The first program explores fresh clues about our earliest ancestors in Africa, including the stunningly complete fossil nicknamed "Lucy's Child." These three-million-year-old bones from Ethiopia reveal humanity's oldest and most telltale trait, upright walking, rather than a big brain. The second program tackles the mysteries of how our ancestors managed to survive in a savannah teeming with vicious predators, and when and why they first left the African cradle to colonize every corner of the earth. In the final program, NOVA probes a wave of dramatic new evidence, based partly on cutting-edge DNA analysis, that reveals new insights into how we became the creative and "behaviorally modern" humans of today, and what really happened to the enigmatic Neanderthals who faded into extinction. Shot "in the trenches" as discoveries were unearthed throughout Africa and Europe, each hour of "Becoming Human" unfolds with a forensic investigation into the life and death of a specific hominid ancestor. Dry bones spring back to vivid life with stunning animation, the product of a unique NOVA collaboration between top anthropologists and a talented team of movie animators. (cc)

This program documents how young Native leaders formed the Just Transition Coalition and succeeded in a legal battle to close a large dirty coal plant not far from Las Vegas, which sends electricity to California. "Power Paths" follows their efforts to bring training and new jobs in renewable energy, installing solar energy and large wind turbines on their lands. Now for the first time in 60 years, Native Americans may receive some economic justice for the harm caused to their natural resources. (cc)

9:00 Earth Days: American Experience It is now all the rage in the Age of Al Gore and Barack Obama, but can you remember when everyone in America was not "Going Green?" "Earth Days" looks back to the dawn and development of the modern environmental movement -- from its post-war rumblings in the 1950s and the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson's incendiary bestseller Silent Spring, to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration and the subsequent firestorm of political action. The stories of the era's pioneers -- among them former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall; biologist/Population Bomb author Paul Ehrlich; Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand; Apollo Nine astronaut Rusty Schweickart; and renewable energy pioneer Hunter Lovins -- are illustrated with an incredible array of footage from candy-colored Eisenhower-era tableau to classic tear-jerking 1970s anti-litterbug PSAs. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Robert Stone (Oswald's Ghost, Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst) this AMERICAN EXPERIENCE film is both a meditation on man's complex relationship with nature and a history of the revolutionary achievements -- and missed opportunities -- of groundbreaking eco-activism.

3:00 Tackling Diabetes with Dr. Neal Barnard Leading clinical researcher, adjunct associate professor of medicine, author, and health advocate, Neal Barnard, MD shares his scientifically proven system to taking control of diabetes through nutrition, without drugs in Tackling Diabetes with Dr. Neil Barnard. The 3-segment, 60-minute program is targeted at diabetics and those at risk of becoming diabetic based on genes and current lifestyle habits. Dr. Barnard's new approach addresses diabetes, but it also helps with other ailments including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and weight. In the program, Dr. Barnard explains the different types of diabetes and how each can be triggered by genetics, weight, poor diet and lack of physical activity or pregnancy. Dr. Barnard reveals in-depth scientific studies from leading national organizations, unveiling results that not only diminish diabetes, but increase energy and weight loss. Dr. Barnard explains the research and offers simple, step-by-step guidelines to apply the research into one's lifestyle. Not all bodies are wired the same. Many are predisposed to diabetes through genetics. However, the same simple guidelines can be used to protect the body from head to toe including the heart, eyes and bones. Through a series of studies, Dr. Barnard discovered that it is possible to repair insulin function and reverse Type 2 diabetes through nutrition. By following Dr. Barnard's life-changing approach, viewers will be able to control blood sugar three times more effectively than with the standard dietary regimen for people with diabetes. Dr. Barnard's program is a three-rule system to taking control of diabetes including a vegan diet, low in fat and low glycemic index. A vegan diet means avoiding all animal products and, instead, eating regular meals in the four food groups -- vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes. In Takling Control of Diabetes, Dr. Barnard presents the effects from fat, fiber and calories. Did you know adding 14 grams of fiber to your diet can cut your daily calorie intake by 10%? Or that 9 calories equate to one fat gram?; And that the percentage of fat in beef versus chicken only differs by 6%? In the special, Dr. Barnard teaches basic dietary guidelines to identifying fiber-rich foods, foods low in fat and low glycemic index foods, with no limits or calorie counting. Dr. Neal Barnard is the author of numerous scientific and medical publications and more than 15 books. He is frequently called on by news programs and international medical associations to speak on nutrition, research issues and areas in modern medicine. Dr. Barnard received his M.D. degree at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. and is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, a Life Member of the American Medical Association, and a member of the American Diabetes Association. In 1985, Dr. Barnard founded the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a nationwide group of physicians and lay supporters promoting preventive medicine and addressing controversies in modern medicine.

The 20-piece Lawrence Welk Orchestra, playing many of Welk's original arrangements, not only flawlessly support the stars, but also take a moment to shine on their own during a special tribute to Dixieland music, Welk's favorite American musical idiom.

2:00 New Science of Learning: Brain Fitness for Kids For many years, the conventional wisdom in science and education had been that the majority of the brain's functioning was established during the "critical period" of the first few years of life. It was thought that after these first years that the brain was hardwired by the child's neurological history, genetics and life experiences. Following this way of thinking, a teacher worked within 'limits' rather than exploring the possibilities of a child's ability to learn. Following this theory meant that by the age of 5 years old, some children seemed destined for success and others were marked for a life of poor to moderate performance. This thinking has doomed generations of children to a limited learning experience and an often deflated sense of self worth. Over the last decade, a series of neuroscience breakthroughs and educational research findings have led to a new understanding of the learning capabilities of the brain. A growing body of "educational neuroscience" has shown that under the right conditions, the "plastic" brain of a child is continuously improvable in very fundamental respects. The general neurological skills and abilities of a child---of their brain---that are required for success in school (how fast they learn; how well they read; how reliably they respond with the right answer; how effectively they address a complex problem) can be very substantially improved in most cases, at any age. We have traditionally focused on improving the education of children by applying strategies that load their brains with more and more content or "what they should know". But with The New Science of Learning we understand that we can improve the brain that the child brings to any learning situation. Using these new approaches, the performance abilities of "normal" or even "high-achieving" children can be rapidly improved. Perhaps most importantly, many "under -achieving", children otherwise destined for failure can be empowered to succeed. That includes children with moderate or even severe impairments in language, reading, attention, or in other abilities that will limit their achievements in childhood and in life. The foundation of all learning lies in language, not only the ability to speak but to understand what is being said and to process that information in a rapid and accurate way. This processing ability is what underlies all learning and what can be most impacted using neuroplasticity. We can increase the speed and accuracy of processing by focusing on four key cognitive skill sets:Memory - The ability to store information and ideas. Memory isn't just about dates and facts, it is essential for word recognition, comprehension of complex sentences, and remembering instructions.Attention - The ability to focus on information and tasks and of equal importance is the ability to ignore distractions. Processing Rate - The rate at which a child is able to accurately perceive and manipulate information. In the context of reading, processing rate refers to the rate at which a student can distinguish speech sounds and identify letter and word forms to create meaning.Sequencing - Placing the detail of information in its accustomed order, (for example, days of the week, the alphabet, etc). In the context of reading, sequencing is the ability to determine the order of letters within words or words within sentences. Throughout the program we hear from experts and scientists working on the cutting edge of neuroplasticity research and we also witness how their work intersects with the lives of real children. From Dr. April Benasich's research on the brain waves of babies that may help predict learning disabilities, to the true and moving story of Willie Brown. Willie and his mother Belinda tell the story of Willie's struggles through the educational system and his ultimate triumph, learning to read at the age of 17. This revolution in educational neuroscience points to a second, powerful, more fundamental strategy: By appropriate brain plasticity-based training, we can substantially improve and greatly elaborate the ability of a brain to take in ANY content. By building a better brain, students are empowered to get much more out of all learning and school. Applying this science gives us a new model of learning, one that results in engaged learning no matter what the topic, by empowered and confident students. (cc)
