Category: American History/Biography NOLA: WWIR 004926 Series Title: Washington Week Length: 30 minutes Airdate: 1/1/2010 7:00:00 PM Service: PBS Format: Segment Length: 00:00:00 Happy New Year, but before we look ahead, we take a look back, tonight on Washington Week. A thwarted attempt to blow a plane from the sky revives old fears about terrorism and the tradeoffs we make to feel safe. President Barack Obama said, "This was a serious reminder of the dangers that we face and the nature of those who threaten our homeland." Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) said, "The threat to the United States is real. I think this administration has downplayed it. They need to recognize it." At the end of the year and the end of a decade, a new scare. Michael Duffy of Time Magazine provides context. Then, a roundtable with three Washington Week panelists whose books tell us much about the year just passed and the year to come. Dan Balz, author of "The Battle for America 2008," the story of the election. Joan Biskupic, author of "American Original," a biography of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. And David Sanger, author of "The Inheritance," a look at the challenges of our foreign policy. Category: American History/Biography NOLA: AMEX 002202 Series Title: Wyatt Earp: American Experience Length: 60 minutes Airdate: 1/25/2010 8:00:00 PM Service: PBS Format: Documentary Segment Length: 00:56:46 He has been portrayed in countless movies and television shows by some of Hollywood's greatest actors, including Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart and, more recently, Kevin Costner, but these popular fictions belie the complexities and flaws of a man whose life is a lens on politics, justice and economic opportunity on the American frontier. As a young man, Wyatt Earp was a caricature of the Western lawman, spending his days drinking in saloons, gambling, visiting brothels and gaining notoriety as the legendary gunman in the shootout at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. Shortly after his death in 1929, distressed Americans down on their luck transformed Wyatt Earp into a folk hero: a central figure in the American narrative of how the West was won, a man who took control of his own destiny.

Latrobe's tumultuous life was a series of creative triumphs, personal tragedies and constant re-invention. The film features computer-generated animation, interviews with architects and historians and location shooting as Goldberger explores Latrobe's life, from his early years in England to his immigration to the young republic and his work on such iconic buildings as the U.S. Capitol, the White House and the Baltimore Basilica. Category: American History/Biography NOLA: BMJL 001340 Series Title: Bill Moyers Journal Length: 60 minutes Airdate: 1/29/2010 8:00:00 PM Service: PBS Format: Segment Length: 00:00:00 AFL-CIO's Richard Trumka: AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka joins Bill Moyers on the JOURNAL to talk about why he thinks labor remains relevant, how labor has fared thus far under the Obama presidency, and the role he envisions for unions in the future.

Category: Arts NOLA: AMMS 002208 Series Title: American Masters Episode Title: Sam Cooke: Crossing Over Length: 60 minutes Airdate: 1/11/2010 8:00:00 PM Service: PBS Format: Documentary Segment Length: 00:00:00 Sam Cooke put the spirit of the Black church into popular music -- creating a new sound and setting into motion a chain of events that forever altered the course of popular music and race relations in America. With "You Send Me" in 1957, Cooke became the first African American artist to reach #1 on both the R&B and the pop charts. It was groundbreaking. It was also risky for this young gospel performer to alienate his fans by embracing "the devil's music" -- but he proved, with his pop/gospel hybrid, that it was, indeed, possible to win over white teenage listeners and keep his faithful church followers intact. Category: Arts NOLA: APLO 006009 Series Title: Place of Our Own; A Episode Title: The Importance of Music Length: 30 minutes Airdate: 1/21/2010 6:00:00 AM Service: PBS-PLUS Format: Segment Length: 00:00:00 English-language companion to the Spanish-language series LOS NINOS EN SU CASA. Both shows are designed for parents or anyone else who takes care of young kids: grandparents, nannies, babysitters and home daycare providers. The shows cover subjects such as: tantrums, literacy, preventing obesity, speech and language delays. These series combine an entertainment format -- the daytime talk/demonstration show -- with solid educational information on how young children learn, and what adults need to know to help kids be prepared for kindergarten and beyond.

  • Oberweis Supports Making It Harder for Women to Get Birth Control and Opposes a Woman's Right to Choose Even in Cases of Rape
    Oberweis supports making it harder for women to get birth control and opposes a woman’s right to choose even in cases of rape and incest. 2016: Oberweis Voted Against Requiring Individual Or Group Health Policies To Cover All Contraceptive Drugs. Oberweis voted against HB5576, “Makes changes to a Section concerning coverage for contraceptives. Provides that an individual or group health policy shall provide coverage for all contraceptive drugs, devices, and other products approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, including over-the-counter contraceptive drugs, devices, and products; voluntary sterilization procedures; contraceptive services, patient education, and counseling on contraception; and follow-up services related to their use. Provides that if the United States Food and Drug Administration has approved one or more therapeutic equivalent versions of a contraceptive drug, device, or product, a policy is not required to include all therapeutic equivalent versions in its formulary, so long as at least one is included and covered without cost-sharing; if an individual's attending provider recommends a particular service or item approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration based on a determination of medical necessity with respect to that individual, the plan or issuer must cover that service or item without cost sharing and the plan or issuer must defer to the determination of the attending provider; if a drug, device or product is not covered, plans and issuers must have an easily accessible, transparent, and sufficiently expedient process that is not unduly burdensome on the individual or a provider or person acting as a patient's authorized representative to ensure coverage without cost sharing; and that coverage must provide for the dispensing of 12 months' worth of contraception at one time.

  • Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting?
    Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? For More Information Contact: Tom Rosenstiel, Director, Project for Excellence in Journalism Amy Mitchell, Associate Director Matt Carlson, Wally Dean, Dante Chinni, Atiba Pertilla, Research Nancy Anderson, Tom Avila, Staff Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has suggested we are getting only “slices” of the war. Other observers have likened the media coverage to seeing the battlefield through “a soda straw.” The battle for Iraq is war as we’ve never it seen before. It is the first full-scale American military engagement in the age of the Internet, multiple cable channels and a mixed media culture that has stretched the definition of journalism. The most noted characteristic of the media coverage so far, however, is the new system of “embedding” some 600 journalists with American and British troops. What are Americans getting on television from this “embedded” reporting? How close to the action are the “embeds” getting? Who are they talking to? What are they talking about? To provide some framework for the discussion, the Project for Excellence in Journalism conducted a content analysis of the embedded reports on television during three of the first six days of the war. The Project is affiliated with Columbia University and funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The embedded coverage, the research found, is largely anecdotal. It’s both exciting and dull, combat focused, and mostly live and unedited. Much of it lacks context but it is usually rich in detail. It has all the virtues and vices of reporting only what you can see.
