Next we'll talk about what you're eating for lunch.
Then we'll talk with acclaimed author Annie Murphy Paul about her latest book "Origins" published by Simon and Schuster and the massive amounts of success it's had. Description: What makes us the way we are? Some say it's the genes we inherit at conception. Others are sure it's the environment we experience in childhood. But could it be that many of our individual characteristics—our health, our intelligence, our temperaments—are influenced by the conditions we encountered before birth? Click here for more information on this book and a video interview with the author.
Murphy Paul was featured this weekend in the New York Times Book review on Oliver Sacks latest work. Click here to read the review.

11.15.10: Today's Show
Today on The Lisa D Show at noon we'll start the show with an interview with our good friend Chris Babcock. Babcock will discuss issues that matter to him and news that should matter to you.
Then for the live interview segment we'll talk to Peter Svarbein about his very exciting Border Trolley Project. From his press release: If you've come across the mysterious black and white poster images of the trolley driver with a hat dotting various parts of downtown El Paso, then you've probably seen the work of visual artist Peter Svarzbein! The poster series titled “The El Paso Transnational Trolley Project” is a visual art campaign for a make believe transit system aimed at raising awareness of what one vision of the future could be, says Svarzbein, if commuters from El Paso and Juarez felt safe again commuting to and from both cities via a transnational trolley system. With slogans like “Here to Make The Border Safe Again” and “Let Us Take You Home On Either Side of The Border,” the objective of the project is to evoke curiosity, and stir hope for some normalcy in the border region from the surge of violence and uncertainty that has plagued El Paso’s sister-city, Juarez.

#1 Most Read Story on El Paso Times dot com
Today on the www.elpasotimes.com homepage, the #1 most read story is written by Adriana M. Chavez about a rape case from El Paso that will be featured on America's Most Wanted tonight. The victim was a young man and his attacker was a much older man, who promised a higher paying job than selling newspapers. Click here to read the full story.
The victim, Jeremiah McCrimmon, has worked for more than 15 years to get his attacker put behind bars, even going as far as contacting the producers of the Oprah show which is focusing on male victims of abuse. Grant Watkins was featured this week on Talk Radio 1150 as he was in the audience for one of the Oprah shows on this topic, which will air tomorrow. Hopefully this recent media focus of male victims of sexual abuse will help solve this case.
