News Network: Reno The Washoe Drive Fire, the possible return of Reno's National Championship Air Races, and the
closed-door conclusion of a sexual assault lawsuit
against two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger are all stories Martha Bellisle from the Reno Gazette-Journal
has written about. Bellisle joins us with details about these
and other Reno Area topics she's been covering.
Plant and Human Immune Similarities The
groundbreaking discovery that plants, flies and humans share a
remarkably similar immune system has opened up new avenues for the
development of prevention and therapy against infections, cancer
and inflammatory diseases. The two Nobel laureates who made
this discovery will be speaking at the University of California, Davis
Wednesday. We'll speak with the UC Davis professor
sponsoring their visit, Murray B. Gardner. The symposium is
called "Evolution of Common Molecular Pathways Underlying
Innate Immunity."
Tornado Alley Last spring was the worst
tornado season Northern California ever. Speaking with us
today about the increase of twisters in the valley is an expert on
the matter: Sean Casey, host of the Discovery Channel's hit show,
Storm Chasers, and director of Tornado Alley
3D, which is playing now at the Esquire Imax in Downtown Sacramento.
Ray Manzarek Music events like Tuesday's 40th anniversary reissue of the
Doors' L.A. Woman can have a major impact on independent music
stores. We'll talk with the owner of The Beat
in midtown Sacramento, Rob Fauble, about the sales boost created by
famous album rereleases. We'll also speak with
co-founder of The Doors, Ray Manzarek, about the new album, which
includes a 2 CD set with never-released material and a documentary
DVD.
