Nicholas Merrill, an internet service provider who received an FBI National Security Letter (NSL) asking for information about a client which he refused, speaks of his experiences over nearly 9 years in which he was forbidden to tell anyone, including his family; how he resisted in the courts helped by the ACLU and the NYCLU; how his case led a judge to declare NSLs unconstitutional and Congress to amend the Patriot Act so NSL recipients can seek legal relief, yet how the Justice Dept. is still accumulating personal information on hundreds of thousands of American citizens.

An in depth discussion with Bai Di, a woman who grew up during the Cultural Revolution in China and took part in it, about the true story of one of the most important and vilified events in human history
Nov. 8, 2011, 11:47 p.m.
Since manâs romance with fossil fuels and electricity began, bicycles have mostly been viewed as an obsolete technology. But pedaling remains one of the most efficient mechanisms to harvest human energy. While it falls short of a panacea, increasing our use of pedaling beyond traditional transportation is on the rise â and it shows what's possible. The simple, healthy act of pedaling is replacing fossil fuels for a growing list of innovative projects.
Around the world, bicycle-based systems are powering boats and snowplows, school busses, water lifting machines in farming villages that have no electricity, gyms and rec centers, and even music concerts. And with gas-powered generators in New Yorkâs Zucchotti Park being banned, the protestors at Occupy Wall Street have turned to pedal power for alternative electricity generation as well.
From obesity to climate change, solving some of our most seemingly intractable problems start with the simplest of steps, or in this case, pedals. This week on Sea Change Radio, we talk pedal power with two evangelists for the technology. First, host Alex Wise speaks with Adam Boesel, whose Green Micro Gym in Portland, Oregon is raising awareness alongside pulses. Then, we hear from Paul Freedman, the founder of Rock The Bike, a San Francisco organization that puts on pedal-powered concerts and other events.

Canadian mining companies in Africa
Nov. 8, 2011, 6:34 p.m.
The African continent contains a tremendous wealth of minerals, yet the profits from those resources are not flowing to the countries where they are found. In fact, much of the money is going to Canadian mining companies. Africa now accounts for about 17 percent of Canadian mining assets abroad, up from 11 percent in 2001. Bonnie Campbell is a professor of political economy at the Department of Political Science at the University of Québec in Montreal.
