9:00 Wide Angle Heart of Darfur With the Darfur Peace Agreement in shambles and fears rising that the region is headed for a new cycle of bloodletting, Heart of Darfur provides an eyewitness account of what the U.N. Secretary-General has called "the largest humanitarian crisis in the world." Granted access to the capital city of North Darfur in Sudan, Wide Angle reports from Al Fasher, once a sleepy desert town of 30,000, but today home to 100, 000 refugees and 10,000 U.N. personnel. The film captures the desperation of daily life in Al Fasher's sprawling Abu Shouk refugee camp and travels beyond Al Fasher into the volatile rebel-held areas of Sudan to portray the lives of black African villagers who get up every morning to face yet another day filled with threats of looting, murder and rape by Sudan's pro-government Arab militias, known as the Janjaweed. Our cameras follow "the busiest man in Africa" -charismatic General Martin Luther Agwai, commander of the new combined U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force for Darfur - on a mission as he helicopters into hostile areas attempting to coax rebel leaders and some of the Arab tribes into joining the negotiating table. Despite leading the world's largest peacekeeping operation, Agwai, the former head of Nigeria's armed forces, acknowledges the limitations of his role: "We are not here to compel any peace. We are here to work with the Sudanese people - both the government and the parties - to assist them to find peace." After five years of fighting in Sudan, an estimated two-and-a-half million people have fled their homes, more than 200,000 have been killed, and two thirds of all Darfuris - some 4.3 million people - need humanitarian assistance of some kind. Heart of Darfur provides a nuanced report from the heart of an international crisis. (cc)

In a triumph of documentary storytelling, "Election Day" combines 12 stories - shot simultaneously on November 2, 2004, from dawn until long past midnight - into one. Factory workers, ex-felons, harried moms, Native-American activists and diligent poll watchers, from South Dakota to Florida, take the process of democracy into their own hands. The result: an entertaining, inspiring and sometimes unsettling tapestry of citizens determined on one fateful day to make their votes count. (cc)

9:00 Nova scienceNOW "Personal Genome"-- Several companies now offer a personal genetic profile that will predict a person's chances of contracting one of several serious diseases. How do such tests work and how valid are they? Furthermore, what should people do with bad news - or good news?  The hope is that one day our genomes can predict exactly who is likely to get sick and what to do to prevent it. But this new era will have to wait until scientists fully untangle the web of genetic and environmental factors that cause most human disease."Digital Art Authentication"-- Vincent van Gogh has inspired several talented artists to turn their hands to forgery. Can computers be used to identify which works are really his? To find out, NOVA scienceNOW commissioned an expert to make a meticulous copy of a Van Gogh painting, and then challenged three different computer teams to find the imitation in a group that included five genuine Van Goghs. Can digital scans plus clever algorithms unmask the fake?"Carbon Sequestration"-- Can an eighth grader's science fair project show the way to dealing with rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Claire Lackner used an aquarium pump to circulate air through a solution of sodium hydroxide, capturing much of the carbon dioxide in her air sample. The simple experiment got Claire's father, Klaus, thinking: "Could such a principle be applied on a mass scale?" The elder Lackner was actually in a position to follow up, since he's a renowned scientist at Columbia University. A decade later, Klaus has helped form a company that is testing a product that may fulfill this dream. NOVA scienceNOW explores the daunting research challenges that have to be met before such technology can begin to make a dent in atmospheric carbon dioxide."Pardis Sabeti Profile"-- By day, Pardis Sabeti is an assistant professor at Harvard University and a researcher on the genetics of malaria. By night, she and her band Thousand Days play the clubs around greater Boston. The group's EP "Headlight Waves" won Sabeti honorable mention in the Billboard World Song Competition. She has traveled to Africa to study how the malaria parasite interacts with its human hosts. One powerful new tool is the complete map of the malaria parasite's genome, which Sabeti is searching to understand how the parasite develops resistance to the drugs used to fight it. An immigrant from Iran, she was a star student at MIT and won a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford, after which she scored top honors at Harvard Medical School. Then it was a short step into research - and rock 'n' roll! (cc)

10:00 Carrier Super Secrets The ship's location and itinerary are classified. Details of how the nuclear reactor works are top secret. Many aspects of life on a nuclear aircraft carrier are hush-hush. Dating and sex aboard ship are strictly forbidden, but according to one sailor, with 5,000 people on board, relationships are "inevitable," resulting in a "don't ask, don't tell" policy that applies to relationships as well as sexual orientation. When the Nimitz pulls into Hong Kong for a four-day port call, a scandal dramatically alters the lives of two sailors. As the ship departs, the crew learns their itinerary has changed. The captain announces that they are heading for Korea, but the crew can't share this information with their families back home .. . because it's a secret. (cc)

7:30 Equitrekking Maui We ride from the summit to the floor of the crater of a volcano at Haleakala National Park, explore the cowboy town of Makawao and nearby Piiholo Ranch, learn about ancient Hawaii in the rainforests of Kipahulu, and take a sunset ride in the West Maui Mountains. Where else can you ride into the crater of a volcano! On to the island of Maui, we explore the unique geologic features of Haleakala Crater. Along the ride, we pass flora and fauna that have managed to thrive in this harsh environment, including the rare Silversword, a flowering silver plant which stands out amid the deep red and brown cinders of the crater. In the remote region of Kipahulu, accessed by the winding road to Hana, we ride with natives into the rainforest by the sacred sites where they grew up. Kipahulu is a rare place of pristine nature. The land and ways of life here are passed down to the Alaka'i or guides by their Kupuna or elders, who taught them how to survive and flourish off of the natural fruits of the land. Medicine and food are still gathered from the forest. After hearing the songs and prayers of our native guides, who ask for permission to enter the forest, we head up on the mountain trails. We snack on mango and passion fruit, picked off of the trees, as we ride up the green trails, passing wild cows and beautiful waterfalls. Next we explore the cowboy town of Makawao in Maui's Upcountry, before riding through deep gulches and green pastures with views of the ocean at Piiholo Ranch. We take a zip line tour before a sunset ride in the West Maui Mountains. (cc)

The 90 to 120-foot tall installations, which have been designed to protect water quality and aquatic life, will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, and will be lit after sunset, adding a striking element to the city's iconic skyline. The program will examine The Waterfalls as a ?way in? to understand public art and how it enhances the life of the city.  We will look at current installations, permanent installations, and installations from the past.  The program will ask the public for their interpretation of what they experience when looking at a work.  Do they have the ?aha? moment and do they feel the ?wow.?  Part of the attraction of public art is that it is temporary and fleeting, unlike permanent work, which blends into the fabric of the city becoming part of the landscape.We will also speak with people in the art community -- painters, curators, architects and critics (cc)

9:00 History Detectives Red Hand Flag - During her last active duty posting with the Army at Ft. Jackson, a Desert Storm veteran from South Carolina learned about a local, all-but-forgotten African-American infantry regiment in WWI. Years later, she purchased a worn red-white-red striped flag with a red felted hand sewn in the center and small U.S. flags sewn in the corner. The contributor would like to know if her flag was carried into battle by one of the few African-American infantry regiments that fought in WWI under the command of the French. These unsung heroes of the Great War exhibited extraordinary heroism in battle and were highly decorated by the French. If this particular flag has French origins, though, why is it red-white-red-striped and not blue-white-red like the tricolor French flag? HISTORY DETECTIVES host Elyse Luray heads to Columbia, South Carolina, to link this mysterious flag to the legacy of the Red Hand Division and its wartime triumphs.Seth Eastman Painting - A Decatur, Illinois, man purchased a painting that depicts a scene of traditional Native-American life. The contributor, a longtime student of the history of the American West, says the image appealed to him because it was strangely familiar, almost iconic in its imagery. The painting bears the initials "S.E." and the seller's Web page reads "Seth Eastman, American Painting, Oil on Canvas." Could this painting be an authentic work of artist and military officer Seth Eastman - and an accurate depiction of Native-American life in the mid-1800s? HISTORY DETECTIVES host Tukufu Zuberi travels to historic Fort Snelling in Minnesota to examine how Eastman carried out government policies of Native-American removal while capturing on canvas what he believed was a doomed way of life.Isleton Tong - The president of the historical society in Isleton, California, has inherited a two-story wooden building with tin sides that she believes once housed a Chinese Tong. In the late 1800s, Chinese immigrants risked everything to start a new life in America. But Americans who feared losing jobs to the new, cheap labor turned the land of opportunity hostile. Chinatowns burned, ethnic slurs flew and Congress prohibited Chinese laborers from entering or working in the country. For outcast Chinese, Tongs were places of protection and solidarity during this time of chaos, where they could worship, study and settle legal disputes peacefully. In the newspapers, the Tongs were secretive centers of gangland warfare, opium deals and gambling. Was there a Tong operating inside Isleton's once-booming Chinatown? If so, what happened there? HISTORY DETECTIVES host Gwen Wright heads to the Sacramento Delta and to San Francisco to unravel the mystery of the Chinese Tong. (cc)
