<description><![CDATA[Today Virginia's General Assembly is meeting for a special session convened by Governor Tim Kaine to discuss a recent Supreme Court ruling that determined that the Constitution requires prosecutors to make forensic examiners available for defense cross-examination regarding lab reports on drugs, ballistics and other trial evidence. Prosecutors and forensic scientists are concerned about the increased workload that this ruling is anticipated to create will cripple judicial process. Today we talk about what's at stake with forensic and legal experts.

<title><![CDATA[Food Friday - Craft Brews
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Growth of the craft brewing business has exploded in the United States over the past three decades. Even still, the Nation's top independent brewery, and the largest American owned brewery, the Boston Beer Company (which produces Sam Adams) accounts for less than 1 percent of beer sales in the US. On the heels of the release of the independent film Beer Wars we'll talk about the popularity of craft beers and microbrews and preview this weekend's 8th Annual Virginia Beer Festival. Patrick Evans-Hylton joins us from HR Magazine to talk craft brews on this edition of 'Food Friday'. Guests: Jim Koch, founder of Sam Adams and the Boston Beer Company and Andrew Rathmann, brew master at St. George's Brewery in Hampton, VA.

<title><![CDATA[Building Self-Esteem in Youths
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[A lack of self-confidence can lead children and teens to trouble. A lack of, or low, self-esteem is often cited as a contributing cause for eating disorders, self-mutilation, dating violence, depression and suicide among teens and tweens. The pressures society exerts on teens, girls in particular, often don't help. Today we'll talk with experts who are helping youths bolster their self-esteem. Guests: Dr. Linda Mintle, a licensed therapist, Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, author of The Triple Bind: Saving Our Teenage Girls from Today's Pressures and Alex Ellis, founder of the Tied to Greatness program.

We'll get his thoughts on the lift of the ban and hear about his experience following America's fallen service members home.

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Segment A: HELP! Not Just a Four-Letter Word
Many of us feel that asking for assistance is akin to admitting defeat. Whether we're at work or at home we want to give the impression that we've got it all under control. Motivational speaker Peggy Collins wants us to realize that 'help' is not a taboo four-letter word. She joins us today to share her advice on how to avoid becoming burnt out and overwhelmed by seeking a little assistance and overcoming the stigma of asking for help.Segment B: Two Tough Little Letters: N-O
If asking for help can be a struggle and saying 'no' to requests for time and assistance at work and at home can seem downright impossible. Today we'll talk with two experts with advice on saying 'no' in a positive way - Dr. William Ury, author of The Power of a Positive No and Dr. Nanette Gartrell, author of My Answer Is NO.... If That's Okay with You.

<title><![CDATA[Segment A: Buyer's Remorse Segment B: Local Holiday Shopping Guide]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Many consumers are cutting back on holiday spending this year, but for many the desire to spend on gift giving is a tough practice to give up.  And retailers know just how to appeal to consumers who love a deal.  Does the promise of 'free' shipping when your purchase totals a certain amount encourage you to spend a bit more than you planned when shopping online?  Do you pick up 'impulse buy' items staged near the check-out at your local grocery store?  Behavioral economist Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions, joins us to explain how emotions, social norms and other factors impact our reasoning abilities when it comes to spending.
Segment B: Local Holiday Shopping Guide
Independently owned stores and shops are bearing the brunt of the economic downturn.  Several have closed their doors across Hampton Roads and many more are hoping for a brighter than anticipated holiday shopping season.  We want to hear about your favorite local stores and what they have to offer today on HearSay.

Segment B: Has technology made penmanship a dying art?  As computers replace pencils and pens as the communication tools of choice and schools spend shorter amounts of time on writing instruction, we'll talk about a new study by Vanderbilt University professor Steve Graham that finds a majority of primary-school teachers believe students with fluent handwriting produced written assignments that were superior in quantity and quality and resulted in higher grades.]]></description><category>Society and Culture</category>

<description><![CDATA[Segment A: This year's General Assembly session brought lots of new faces to Richmond.  We'll talk with some of the 'freshman' lawmakers from our region about the experiences, challenges and anticipation of a special session on transportation.  Segment B: When should government foot the bill?  Tight budget times in the Commonwealth means zero dollars for nonstate museums, cultural programs and charities in the next fiscal year.  That impacts numerous organizations in Hampton Roads - including the Chrysler Museum of Art and the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center and leads to the broader question - for what services should state and federal tax dollars be allocated?]]></description><category>Society and Culture</category>

<title><![CDATA[Segment A: What's in a Name? Segment B: A New Age of Philanthropy]]></title> 
<description><![CDATA[Segment A: When choosing a name for your child there's a lot to consider.  Do you want to follow a trend, stick with family traditions, or is a unique moniker more your style? We'll talk about the factors that weigh on parents' minds when trying to name their bundle of joy, including recent findings on the unconscious impact that names have on your life with a researcher from Yale University. Segment B: We tend to think of philanthropists as the elder statesmen of our society. Many of the children in our lives are showing a greater interest in helping others as they are increasingly connected to people within their communities and worldwide through technology. As a result there is a growing trend of young people giving to charities. Some even forgo gifts at their birthdays and request contributions be made to a specific organization instead. We'll talk about it on today's HearSay.]]></description><category>Society and Culture</category>

For all the latest General Assembly news join Cathy and Daily Press reporter Kimball Payne.  Segment B: It made its debut in a Dr. Seuss book and gained popularity as a slang term after a 1951 Newsweek magazine article.  The word nerd conjures up the stereotypical white male with braces and glasses, but in his latest book, "Nerds: Who They Are And Why We Need More of Them", child therapist and psychology professor, Dr. David Anderegg, argues that when bright children start switching off their own lights to avoid being branded nerds, it is bad news for everyone and for the economy.

Segment B: The $200-million Hampton University Proton Therapy and Research Institute will be only the sixth such facility in the nation.

<description><![CDATA[It's been three decades since women entered the work force in large numbers yet the default mental image of a leader is still male.  A recent report titled 'Damned if You Do, Doomed if You Don't', which surveyed senior executives from the United States and Europe found that women who act in ways that are consistent with gender stereotypes are considered less competent. But if they act in ways that are seen as more 'male' like ambitious and assertive, they are seen as too tough and unfeminine.
