SUSAN ZIRINSKY – EXECUTIVE PRODUCER,  48 HOURS: DEVIL’S ISLAND

48 HOURS: DEVIL’S ISLAND – An ex-Marine with a secret life has a girlfriend who goes missing in Panama – was it murder?

Peter Van Sant and 48 HOURS travel to Panama to investigate the disappearance and death of a California woman who moved there with a boyfriend, who turned out not to be as perfect as he seemed in, “Devil’s Island” to be broadcast Nov. 15, 2014 (10:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Looking for a fresh start, Yvonne Baldelli and her boyfriend Brian Brimager moved to the beach-side community in Panama. He was an ex-Marine trying to make a go of it as a bar singer. She planned on making bathing suits and sell them to tourists.

Baldelli described a life of bliss in Panama in frequent emails to family members. But then the emails stopped. And about a month after the last email, Valenzuela got a text from Brimager saying he was back in the United States, without Baldelli. In an email sent earlier, that Valenzuela had overlooked, Brimager wrote he and Baldelli had broken up after she found out Brimager had a child with another woman.

The news would rock Baldelli’s family and kick off a search for the young woman who appeared to have a bright future ahead. Instead, they would face driving a two-country investigation into the disappearance – and ultimately, the death of Yvonne Baldelli.
The police investigation would lead through the swamps of Panama and back to San Diego, where they learned Brimager was leading a second life and had a wife. Baldelli’s family also learned the couple was not as happy as suggested. There were stories of heavy drinking and fighting.

Van Sant and the 48 HOURS team travel to Panama to follow police searching a swamp for Baldelli’s remains and talk to locals about the couple. Van Sant and the team also confront  Brimager in San Diego, where he lives with his wife and child. Will he talk?

ACTOR TIM DEKAY - USA'S WHITE COLLAR - THE FINAL SEASON PROMISES TO SHOCK AND EXCITE FANS

Bid Farewell to One of TV’s Best Bromances! The Final Season of White Collar Promises to Shock and Excite Fans…

Upstate New York native Tim DeKay is a triple threat on stage, television and film. His many TV credits include starring in HBO’s “Carnivále” and “Tell Me You Love Me,” along with roles on “Brothers & Sisters,” “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” “Party of Five” and “Seinfeld” as the classic Bizarro Jerry. His varied film work includes “Get Smart,” “Swordfish,” “Welcome to the Neighborhood” and “Big Eden.” DeKay is well known for his extensive theater resume, on Broadway and off.

White Collar has been a critical and ratings success since it launched on USA Network six seasons ago. The series focuses on the unlikely partnership between the very intelligent and charming con-artist Neal Caffrey (played by Matt Bomer) and the hard-working and earnest FBI agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay). In exchange for his freedom, and on the condition that he wear an ankle bracelet at all times, Caffrey provides his expertise in thievery to help Burke and his fellow agents catch other elusive white collar criminals. The chemistry between cop and con has helped the show develop a massive and loyal following.

This final season picks up on last season’s cliffhanger, when Caffrey has disappeared, without his ankle bracelet; and Burke and his agents attempt to infiltrate an infamous crime ring. Viewers will be shocked by the ending.

RICHARD STERBAN FROM THE OAK RIDGE BOYS – SUPPORTING THE AMERICAN LEGION AND THE SERVICES PROVIDED FOR VETERANS 

THE OAK RIDGE BOYS ASK LISTENERS TO SUPPORT THE AMERICAN LEGION AND THE SERVICES PROVIDED FOR VETERANS

The American Legion and the Grammy Award-winning Oak Ridge Boys are uniting to raise awareness and support for the needs of U.S. military veterans, including better detection and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), help with the VA benefits process, as well as education and career opportunities for those who served our nation in uniform.

The American Legion is the country’s largest veterans service organization, with 2.4 million members who work every day on behalf of the men and women who have served our nation in uniform. The Oak Ridge Boys will participate in a national fundraising and awareness campaign to support the detection and treatment of mental health issues among veterans, 22 of whom are lost each day to suicide.

DID YOU KNOW?

• U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that upwards of 20 percent of veterans from the recent wars are confronting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
• The most recent data of veteran suicides reports we are losing 22 veterans a day by their own hands – a heartbreaking trend that must be changed.
• This fundraising campaign will help support better detection and treatment of PTSD, help with the VA benefits process, and education and career opportunities for those who served our nation in uniform.
• This Veterans Day, The Oak Ridge Boys will be in Branson, MO, home to America's largest Veterans Day celebration, Veterans Homecoming Week. They will be performing Nov 11-13 at Oak Ridge Boys Theater.
• The Oaks encourage listeners to learn more about supporting the services available through The American Legion by visiting www.SupportLegion.org and making a donation.

JOHN MCINTOSH & ELIZABETH MCINTOSH – HOW TO ERASE NEGATIVE THINKING

New Book Takes Innovative Clinical Approach to Erasing Negative Thinking What do head lice, also known as nits, have to do with living a happier, healthier life?
Good question.

Doctor John McIntosh and Rev. Elizabeth McIntosh, authors of an important new book, MASTERING NEGATIVE IMPULSIVE THOUGHTS, use “nits” as both an acronym for their book’s title and as an analogy for the clearly unhealthy effects of negative thinking.

“Negative thoughts occur impulsively, so that is why they are Negative Impulsive Thoughts, or NITs, for short,” the authors say. “The nice analogy is that nits are also head lice and both (nits and NITs) are irritating, contagious, hard to recognize, hard to eliminate, breed fast, and spread like an epidemic.”

Unlike other, similar books that claim to have a magic route to happiness and health, MASTERING NEGATIVE IMPULSIVE THOUGHTS is based on solid clinical research, say the authors, who together have extensive experience in general medicine, medical research, and holistic health/wellness practices.

“Through our clinical experience, we have found that people have Negative Impulsive Thoughts and don’t realize it,” says Doctor John. “It’s the first time anyone in this field has actually defined negative thoughts so they can be recognized with three effective questions and given the reader a three-step process to treat them. This is a revolutionary new approach with many techniques to change the way you think forever! Evidence from medical research … clearly proves that controlling negative thinking can increase your lifespan by nine years; reduce heart attacks, strokes, cancers, infections, and mental illness; increase your productivity and creativity; and cause measurable increases in anti-oxidant levels in your blood.”

 “This is not a soft and fluffy subject,” adds Elizabeth. “It has major physical and psychological effects on your health, well-being and productivity. This book gets people to reflect on their own internal dialogue, and once they recognize their NITs, they are able to take control over them and empower their lives.”

Doctor John also notes that, from a medical perspective, “We see people all the time who have bad emotional experiences and then develop life-threatening diseases. There’s a strong correlation medically that thinking negatively has a direct effect on people’s health. From a clinical perspective, controlling negative thoughts is just as important as not smoking, exercise and eating a low fat diet!”

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Doctor H. John McIntosh is known as the “Medical Guru” through his columns and media presence.  He was educated as a medical doctor in Scotland. He received a general medical degree from Dundee University Medical School in 1984 and moved to Australia in 1993. He received his Specialist Physician qualification in 1988 from the Royal College of Physicians (UK) and specialist Family Physician qualifications in 1990 from the Royal College of General Practitioners. Other certifications include: Approved Trainer of medical students, Royal Australian College of General Practitioners; James Cook University Medical School, Central Queensland University; Trainer of Cognitive Institute programs, Cognitive Institute of Australia; Approved Trainer of sports medicine first aid courses, Sports Medicine, Australia; and Approved Allergan Cosmetic Injector training and trainer of injectors (doctors and nurses).

In 2013, his medical clinics were awarded the national AGPAL Community Engagement Award for outstanding level of commitment and involvement of the community and won a finalist award in the 2014 Telstra Australian Business Awards.

PHIL LEMPERT, THE SUPERMARKET GURU - TOP FOOD TRENDS FOR 2015

THIS WEEKS TREND:

Grazing Golden-Agers: Ninety-one percent of people say they snack daily, according to Nielsen.
While snacking is on the rise among all ages and genders, research shows that snacking among consumers over the age of 65 could contribute to additional years with a higher quality of life. We’ll see more boomers – those raised in the “three square meals a day” era – employ a “grazing” approach to eating next year.

When boomers snack, they’ll focus on foods rich in nutrients like protein, fiber and Omega3s that can help promote bone health. Other popular snack choices include plant-based proteins and whole grains, like DAVID® Sunflowers Seeds and Orville Redenbacher’s® Gourmet Naturals made with with 100% whole grain popcorn.

LEO PEARLSTEIN - HANDY HINTS FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER

THE TURKEY When you buy a turkey, look for one that has a Pop-Up Timer.  When the little stem pops up you’ll know that the turkey has been cooked to perfection.
SEASONING Many people season the top of the turkey.  What you are doing is seasoning the skin, not the turkey.  What you do is shake the seasoning into the cavity and, by the way, I recommend poultry seasoning.

SEASONING UNDER THE SKIN Here’s an easy way to add some zest to your turkey.  Make a mixture of 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a handful of fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of your favorite herb, 2 cloves of garlic minced (optional) and a few sprinkles of salt and pepper.  Another option is to add 2 teaspoons of yellow mustard.  Then, on the top of the turkey breast let the loose skin and gently push your hand forward to make a pocket, then take a thin slice of orange, dip it into the mixture and place it in the pocket on top of the breast.  There should be room for 2 or 3 slices. You’ll have a great tasting turkey.

HOT ROLLS Here’s another tip.  Your guests will be very impressed if you serve them hot rolls.  Buy some Rhodes Ready Baked Frozen Rolls and in the morning take out as many as you need, place them on a baking sheet or muffin tin and let them rise.  They have no preservatives, with a real delicious homemade taste.  Here’s the secret.  When you’re carving the turkey, the other is empty, place the rolls that have risen and let them bake for 15-20 minutes.  Then you can take the hot turkey and the hot rolls to the table at the same time.

MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES Take your regular mashed potatoes and divide into 2 parts.  To the 2nd part, white you are mashing the potatoes, take a couple of teaspoons of Morehouse yellow mustard and keep mixing.  Taste to see how you like the flavor.  You can add more if you wish to increase the flavor.  That could be a pleasant surprise for your guests.  When you serve the potatoes, in a table tent in front of the serving bowl, indicate traditional mashed potatoes and Mustard mashed potatoes.

DESSERT You will have the usual pies, cakes & cookies that everyone looks forward to.  Give your guests an unexpected treat and add icecold watermelon slices or cubes.  It will be a welcomed treat at the end of your heavy meal, cold and refreshing and only 40 calories, which will still let them enjoy the heavy desserts, too.  Watermelon is very healthy.  It’s loaded with antioxidants and vitamins.  It has more lycopene than any other fruit or vegetable.

ALLAN KARL – AUTHOR, FORKS—THREE YEARS. FIVE CONTINENTS. ONE MOTORCYCLE

Why would someone sell everything they own, pull roots, and travel for three years around the world alone—on a motorcycle. Through adventurous stories, 700+ color photos, and the flavors of local food in 40 global recipes, FORKS brings the world to your table: the kindness of strangers, the beauty of humanity, the colors of culture, and the powerful gift of human connection.

Of the many lessons learned on the road, the most important, we are never alone. It’s always possible to connect with people, even in the most challenging and dangerous circumstances!

One day Allan Karl woke up to discover that he was unemployed and his marriage had ended in divorce.

Allan looked at these forks in the road of his life as an opportunity to both follow a life-long dream and pursue his passions. He hopped on his motorcycle and traveled around the world--alone. After three years and 62,000 miles of riding, through 35 countries on 5 continents, he returned home only to set out on another journey--to share the truths he'd uncovered and the lessons learned during his adventure around the world.

Between these pages, Allan shares the discoveries, cultures, and connections he made on this global adventure. Through stories, color photos, and the flavors of real local food, FORKS brings his adventure to life and the world to your table: the kindness of strangers, the beauty of humanity, the colors of culture, and the powerful gift of human connection.

"Even though I set out on his journey alone, I was never alone. If I was ever lost, lonely or hungry, I would turn around and always find someone there." The real truth is that it's easy to connect with people--humanity--even in the most challenging situations.

Like when he was ordered into the Colombian jungle at gunpoint, or when he crushed his leg in the middle of nowhere in Bolivia, or how he had to beg the governments of Syria and Sudan to let him across their borders. Every photograph, story, and recipe in this book presents readers with an opportunity to witness new cultures, taste exotic flavors, or journey into dangerous and unknown territories. Every experience is an opportunity to connect with others.
