The Buddha never claimed to be God or his emissary on earth. He said only that he was a human being who, in a world of unavoidable pain and suffering, had found a kind of serenity that others could find, too. This documentary by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin tells the story of his life and his journey.

They have provided a seemingly endless supply of natural resources that have helped transform the United States into one of the most powerful nations on Earth. But the story of the Great Lakes over the last few centuries is one of abuse and neglect, where humans have exploited the region’s natural resources and disregarded the long-term effects on the fragile ecosystem. This documentary from Detroit Public TV examines the long-term effects.

The Movie This film delves into the fascinating history of this lowly substance, explaining how four billion years of evolution have created the dirt that recycles our water, gives us food, provides us shelter and is a source of medicine, beauty and culture. But people have endangered this vital living resource with destructive agriculture, mining and development that has yielded catastrophic results: mass starvation, drought and floods. But as the film shows, times are changing – brown is the new green and dirt can be repaired.

We’re glad to hear that because we are always working to maintain and improve our Public TV 13 website, located at wnmutv.nmu.edu, and we’d like our Partners to make use of it. Here’s a sample of what’s available online: During last year’s conversion to digital broadcasts, many viewers were assisted by our monthly online DTV updates. Post-transition, we continue to publish online updates when there is reception-related news – especially technical difficulties, whether they occur over-the-air, via cable or satellite. When we get questions on an interesting topic via phone or email, we also use our online updates to share answers and useful tips. Chances are you will find some useful information if you check our online updates. Our website is also the best place to get the most up-to-date program schedule information for our three channels. About 80% of Partners surveyed indicated that they prefer to get their program information from FanFare. We are happy to know that so many of you appreciate our guide, but since it is printed about two weeks before the beginning of the month, schedule changes often occur after it goes to press. You will find those late schedule updates at wnmutv.nmu.edu. We also have very limited space to present program information in a 16-page printed guide, so you will find much more online, including complete listings for all three channels presented in an interactive grid that can be viewed by day or week. The grid, on our “Schedule” page, includes detailed descriptions that pop up with just a click, and if you find a program that you don’t want to miss, you can arrange to have an email reminder sent directly to you. If you do miss a broadcast, the grid will also tell you if the program airs again. As editor of both FanFare and our website, I spend time after the guide goes to press putting together comprehensive online program highlights. I usually highlight 90-100 programs each month with a paragraph and a graphic for each. On the main page of our site, you will find highlights for today and tomorrow, and on the “Highlights” page you can scan featured programs for the entire month. One of the most useful aspects of our online program information is “links.” When programs have a website associated with them, we provide a link that will take you there directly. Many program sites present a wealth of background information and interactive features. Our newest and most exciting Public TV 13 web feature is still to come. Very soon, we’ll unveil a streaming video player that will allow you to watch complete programs online via your high-speed Internet connection. The new player will feature both PBS programs and our local Public TV 13 productions. You’ll be able to watch High School Bowl, Media Meet and our call-in programs – all available a few days after they are broadcast. We will also provide a collection of our locally-produced history documentaries. We hope you will find this new web feature to be a valuable addition to our broadcasting service. If you haven’t visited lately, make sure to check out our Public TV 13 website. We think you’ll find it so useful you’ll want to make wnmutv.nmu.edu a daily stop on your Internet travels.
