Theseries begins with "Persuasion." Sally Hawkins ('Little Britain") appears as Anne Elliot, destined for spinsterhood at age 27 after being persuaded eight years earlier to refuse the proposal of dashing Captain Wentworth (Rupert Penry-Janes , "Casanova"). Then chance brings them together again. While her better days are past, his are definitely ahead as he's now rich and free to play the field among eligible young beauties.

GPB Radio will air The DNA Files III, the latest installment in the award-winning NPR series that explores the mysterious world of the genome and its impact on life in the 21st century, Fridays at 3 PM January 4 February 1. Hosted by Peabody- and Emmywinning correspondent John Hockenberry, the series includes five episodes that examine food in the age of biotechnology; how environment works in concert with genetics; the interplay between the inner mind and the outer world; comparative genomics (what do animals tell us about ourselves?); and the pressure of climate change on the species of our planet.
In addition, as part of its participation in a national outreach campaign GPB is

TDheNAF1les
Prnducld by OW. Vision PRODUCTIONS
fohn Hockenberry producing five segments that will be broadcast during Morning Edition on Fridays,

beginning January 4 and All Things Considered Thursdays beginning January 10. The segments examine what is happening in Georgia and seek to raise community awareness about the issues raised in the series.
GPB is also partnering with Atlanta's Fernbank Science Center, known statewide for K-12 excellence in science education, to adapt The DNA Files activities to correlate with mandatory Georgia Performance Standards. In November 2007, Fernbank hosted a hands-on training workshop for high school science teachers. The workshop was videotaped by GPB Education Services and is now available online at GPB's website www.gpb.org.

Designing the Garden: Food in the Age of Biotechnology This program looks at the debates surrounding genetically modified food. Some say manipulating genes in plants and animals is the solution to world hunger; others say it's not safe to eat or grow.
Rewriting Heredity: Environment and the Genome Geneticists now know that genes do not act alone and that environment - from our cells to our neighborhoods works in concert with our genetics.
Beyond Human We humans think we are pretty special creatures within the animal kingdom,

but as scientists try to understand what makes us different from other animals, they keep running into what makes us the same.
The Heat Is On: Evolution in Action Evolution is an ongoing process and as the Earth becomes warmer, changes are being seen in migration patterns of birds, insects, and even in the life in the oceans.
Minding the Brain Researchers today are grappling with the interplay between the inner mind and the outer world and looking at how the brain a person is born with changes in response to the cultural, social, personal, and physical environments the person lives in.

foot-washing Baptist out to save your soul, like it or not;

mechanical genius.When the girl next door breaks Earl's

heart, everybody rallies to help him. He finds purpose in

a fabulous quest: by savi ng the leftover parts from

GPB Radio and

Television Go Under

The Gold Dome

For the 2008

Georgia General

Assembly

GPBRadio Reporters Melissa Stiers, Susanna Cape/auto and Devin Dwyer.

A s state legislators gather for the 2008 Georgia General Assembly this month, Georgia Public Broadcasting Radio and Television will go under the Gold Dome to provide in-depth news coverage and analysis of the legislative action.
Water and property taxes are likely to dominate this year's legislative session. With the drought as a backdrop, lawmakers will debate a statewide water plan. Also, powerful Republicans want to do away with property taxes or at least lower them considerably. And the General Assembly has to pass a state budget for the next fiscal year when the economic outlook may not be so rosy. Other issues including transportation, immigration and healthcare will make their way through the 40 day session.
Listen for legislative updates on GPB Radio during Morning

Edition, All Things Considered and Georgia Gazette every day. You can also visit www.gpb.org to check out our reporters' legislative blog, where you can follow each day's most important stories.
Also, on GPB Television, tune in for the live broadcast of Lawmakers, weeknights at 7 PM with hosts David Zelski and Nwandi Lawson. As the longestrunning television program of its type in public broadcasting history, Lawmakers has been providing in-depth coverage of the General Assembly since debuting in 1971.

The mission of Georgia Public Broadcasting is to create, produce and distribute high quality programs

and services that educate, inform and entertain our audiences and enrich the quality of their lives.
