Attacking Allergies
An estimated one in five Americans suffers from some type of allergy. Pollen, mold, dust, certain foods and animals cause misery for millions. For some unfortunate few, peanuts or bee stings can be the kiss of death. Starting in mid-June, ideastream launches Attacking Allergies - multiple media coverage to explain what happens when the body’s immune system goes awry… why allergies are on the rise… and what you need to know about one of our nation’s most chronic health problems.

Facing Forward: Inside the Plain Dealer series on Johanna Orozco
The Sound of Ideas: Tuesday, September 11, 2007
In the last six months, Johanna Orozco has recovered from a shotgun blast to the face and reconstructive surgery. That would have been enough, but then, there's also the trial of the teen who shot her, her former boyfriend. As she told Plain Dealer reporter Rachel Dissell, "When he actually pleaded guilty, it was more of a relief in my heart than anything else." On the program, we'll talk to Dissell and photographer Gus Chan who spent much of the last six months in operating rooms and by hospital beds, chronicling Orozco's journey. We'll also learn about the surgical science behind facial reconstructions and we'll talk about what lessons Orozco's story holds for teens and parents today. Join us, Tuesday morning at nine.
