It probably seems hard to believe, but U2 began as a band of four teenagers whose first rehearsal was in Larry Mullins Jr's parent's kitchen in 1976. Over three decades and 170 million album sales later, Ireland's most famous export is one of the biggest bands in the world, having won more Grammy Awards than any other group in history. U2 are almost as well known for their philanthropy and charity work as they are for their music. For over twenty years, lead singer Bono has made a name for himself as a tireless worker for social and economic change in Third World Countries; he too is the only person in history to have been nominated for an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Grammy, and the Nobel Peace Prize. This program documents the story of the band's never ending energy, drive and commitment to social causes; a story of a charismatic showman's efforts to take his influence into politics in order to affect change for the people who need it most - the poor and disadvantaged. Part of what makes U2 so special is that they have the same lineup of band members - Paul Hewson (Bono), Larry Mullins Jr., Dave (The Edge) Evans and Adam Clayton - and are as close as family to each other. Whatever their magic, they continue to capture the imagination of music lovers around the globe. In Part Two of this program, we see five bonus features, including: "The Heart of the Music" - Bono talks about why the band decided to begin a tour for one of their albums in Las Vegas. "UK Hall of Fame" - We see that U2 were among five founding members inducted into the UK Hall of Fame in November, 2004. "Time Magazine Person of the Year" - We learn how in 2005 the award went to three people who had worked hard to make the world a better place through their philanthropy: Bill and Melinda Gates, and Bono from U2. "The Price of Fame" - Bono is quite open about his dislike of the celebrity machine, but he uses his fame to draw attention to the plights of those less fortunate.

The year 1950 was a pivotal year for innovations in air travel, marking the start of the Jet age after the invention of the jet engine by Frank Whittle some nine years earlier. Airlines began to spring up everywhere, catering to the demands of passengers wanting to go just about anywhere, but the flights were domestic only at the time. Pre-war travel was sold as a luxury experience afforded only by the rich, but post war, the emphasis was on comfort and customer service for both the rich and middle class. However air travel was still out of reach for those on a low income. Speed was the key, getting passengers from New York to London or Paris in six and a half to seven hours was the various airlines' biggest coup.
This episode of Dateline Health discusses some of the innovations at Niklaus Children?s Hospital. Guests: ?Diana Azzam, Ph.D., David Mancuso, Pharm.D. Maggie Eidson Fader, M.D.

Journey to the Wild West on today's episode of Travel Thru History! Take a peek behind the curtain of the most entertaining city in the world. It's a place carved out of the Mojave Desert; a place we've come to know as Las Vegas. While the city is known for its endless entertainment options we'll take a look into the intriguing roots that were much different from what Las Vegas is today. We get things rolling by visiting the first permanent structure that was built in the valley. It was a small adobe Mormon Fort that was constructed by Mormon Missionaries. We'll learn how this became an essential crossroad for travelers. We'll blast our way into the 1940's and 50's as we visit the National Atomic Testing museum to learn about how the desert outside of Vegas was used for testing America's secret nuclear weapons. Next we visit the Neon Museum Boneyard, the final resting place for those large neon signs used to light up Las Vegas skyline. Put aside your previous notions of Las Vegas because we're going to prove that there is so much more to Las Vegas than rolling dice.
