This special NA MELE presentation is the first in a series of master-apprentice themed programs in which younger, up-and-coming musicians are mentored by older, more established artists. The pairing of Cyril Pahinui and Peter Moon Jr. has a special significance, as both are the sons of Hawaiian music icons: slack key guitar legend Gabby "Pops" Pahinui and Peter Moon Sr. - a seminal figure in the Hawaiian Renaissance of the 1970s.
Cyril and Peter Moon Jr.'s master-apprentice process is rooted in the "old style" approach to teaching: watch, listen and learn. That was how Cyril learned from his father, and this technique seems to bear fruit with Peter Moon Jr. as the two of them, along with special guest Jeff Ahoy on steel guitar, raise the roof in a jam session at the PBS Hawaii studio.

Winner of the 2010
Tony Award for Best New Musical, Memphis turns the radio dial back to the 1950s

of music transcends race lines and airwaves. His romantic interest is Felicia
Farrell (Montego Glover), a young black singer whose career is on the rise but
who can't make the break out of segregated clubs on her own. When the two
collaborate, her soulful music reaches radio audiences everywhere, and the
golden era of early rock 'n' roll takes flight. But as things heat up, whether
the world is really ready for their music - or their love - is put to a test.
With an original story by Joe DiPietro and a new score with music by David
Bryan, the production is directed by Christopher Ashley and choreographed by
Sergio Trujillo.

This program answers
many questions Americans have about this insistently insular religious
community, whose intense faith and adherence to 500-year-old traditions have by
turns captivated and repelled, awed and irritated, inspired and confused for more
than a century. With unprecedented access, built on patience and hard-won
trust, the film is the first to penetrate deeply and explore this
attention-averse group. In doing so, the program paints an intimate portrait of
contemporary Amish faith and life. It questions why and how the Amish, a
closed, communal culture, have thrived within one of the most open,
individualistic societies on earth; explores how, despite their ingrained
submissiveness, the Amish have successfully asserted themselves in resisting
the encroachments of modern society and government; asks what Americans'
attraction to the Amish says about deep American values; and looks at what the
future holds for a community whose existence is so rooted in the past.

Description:
In October 2009, a striking portrait of a young woman in Renaissance dress made world news headlines. Originally sold two years before for around $20,000, the portrait is now thought to be an undiscovered Leonardo da Vinci masterwork worth more than $100 million. How did cutting-edge imaging analysis help tie the portrait to Leonardo? NOVA meets a new breed of experts who are approaching 'cold case' art mysteries as if they were crime scenes, determined to discover who committed the art, and follows art sleuths as they deploy new techniques to combat the multi-billion dollar criminal market in stolen and fraudulent art.

Legend paints it as a solitary, blood-thirsty killer that roams the icy heart of the frozen north, taking down prey as large as moose, crushing bones to powder with its powerful jaws.

This film will take viewers into the secretive world of the largest and least-known member of the weasel family to reveal who this dynamic little devil truly is. Hard-wired to endure an environment of scarcity, the wolverine is one of the most efficient and resourceful carnivores on Earth.

Are human beings, in an effort to outwit raccoons, actually making them smarter and unwittingly contributing to their evolutionary success? Are the complex obstacles that our fast-paced urban world throws at them actually pushing the development of raccoon brains? In this episode scientists from around the world share their thoughts and work to explore this scientific theory. Attempting to do something that has never been done before, they closely follow a family of urban raccoons as they navigate the complex world of a big city.

Description:
From the outside, lions and tigers look very different, but once their skins are removed and they are dissected, even the experts find it hard to tell them apart. One of the most characteristic features of these magnificent animals - something that distinguishes them from the small cats - is their ability to roar. The team delves into the lion's throat to find the voice box and makes a discovery that helps explain the way the vocal apparatus works. Later, biologist Simon Watt comes face to face with a liger - a cross between a lion and a tiger - proof of the two species' similarity.

This program follows the charismatic Dr. Kenny Broad as he dives into blue holes - underwater caves that formed during the last ice age when sea level was nearly 400 feet below what it is today. They are Earth's least explored and perhaps most dangerous frontiers. With an interdisciplinary team of climatologists, paleontologists and anthropologists, Broad investigates the hidden history of Earth's climate as revealed by finds in this spectacularly beautiful "alternate universe."

Description:
Whales and dolphins remain a constant source of fascination. But how much do we really know about them? Whales and dolphins, known as cetaceans, may appear to be totally alien to us, but with their mental ability, group communication and the recent discovery that dolphins have individual names, they are closer to us than we ever imagined. This 3-hour NATURE special provides new insights into the lives of whales and dolphins in a visually powerful, engaging and entertaining format. Teams of intrepid scientists equipped with the latest technology are making extraordinary breakthroughs in their understanding of these intelligent life forms that may safeguard their survival.
Hour 1, Giant Lives, concentrates on the great whales, such as the blue and the bowhead, which are the largest animals that have ever lived on our planet. Yet these mighty leviathans feed on tiny shrimp and sardines.
Hour 2, Deep Thinkers, reveals how, in some respects, the brains of whales and dolphins are more complex than ours. Whales and dolphins work co-operatively, show empathy and are self-aware. Find out how clever, and how much like us, whales and dolphins might be.
Hour 3, Voices of the Sea, reveals a surprising underwater world where sound takes the place of sight. Humpback whales' songs carry thousands of miles, while a sperm whale scans the ocean depths with a sonar laser beam louder than a thunderclap.

Description:
For two centuries, American whale oil lit the world - powering the start of the
industrial revolution and laying the groundwork for a truly global economy.
From its stunning rise as an economic force in the 18th century to its
precipitous decline in the decades following the Civil War, the whaling industry
mapped millions of miles of uncharted ocean, opened new seaways and
markets, employed the world's most multi-cultural workforce and shrank the
globe by bringing once remote reaches of the Earth into contact as never
before - all the while capturing the American imagination. As Americans now
see fortunes rise and fall on the global energy and consumer markets, the rapid
commoditization of whales and the sharp decline of the whaling industry serve
as a stark reminder of the volatility of the global marketplace.

The bushfires that tore through the Australian
state of
2009 incinerated over a million acres of land, including key mountain ash forest
ecosystems. Fires are a natural force of nature that spur regeneration, but the
immediate aftermath of this giant firestorm was devastation. Kangaroos and
koalas, wombats and wallabies, endangered possums and gliders, lizards,
echidnas, birds of all kinds, and even fish that lived among these eucalypts
were overcome by the flames. Millions died. But burned and traumatized
survivors tenderly nursed back to health at wildlife hospitals showed a
remarkable ability to bounce back, and the environment an extraordinary
capacity for healing.
