Radio Baha'i, WLGI is back up to full power as of late afternoon Monday. The air conditioner was replaced with an excellent unit that should last for years, and it is doing a great job of cooling. In fact, I may need to keep a jacket in the transmitter building now.

The silver lining of operating at very low or low power for 3 weeks is that it pushed us to launch online streaming. So now, if you live within our broadcast area you can listen on a regular radio, listen on your computer at home or at work, or listen on your smart phone or tablet. So many choices!!

If you live or travel outside of the FM coverage area, then take us with you via online streaming.

Please spread the word that we are back on the air at full power, and that your friends and family can listen to us online as well, wherever in the world they are (as long as they have Internet access, and some kind of computer or mobile device).

We have some good news for you! The air conditioner for our transmitter building is being replaced Saturday (9/28). If all goes well with the installation, we should be back on the air at full power by the end of the day. If not, we will be off the air until Monday afternoon. We will be off the air completely while they are working in the building, but we will continue our online streaming.

If it weren't for the thousands of clinical trials involving human participants that medical researchers conduct every year, there would no way to know if new drugs or methods of treatment would be safe and effective for use by humans. More than 3,000 clinical trials have been conducted in South Carolina since 1999. However, the rates of participation in trials for African Americans and other minorities are very low, and medical authorities in the state and around the nation are working to increase participation by African Americans and other ethnic minorities. Among them is Dr. Marvella Ford, associate director of cancer disparities at the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Dr. Ford on the current edition of Insight.

Insight airs Monday and Wednesday at 10 a.m., 7 p.m. and midnight.

Agriculture and forestry together represent the top revenue-generating industry in South Carolina, according to Clemson University agronomist and biomass specialist, Jim Frederick. Corn, cotton, tobacco, and soybeans have historically been the top-producing revenue crops in the state, with the Pee Dee and other regions on the Coastal Plain considered the bread basket for production. New agribusinesses and bioenterprises are needed to boost the rural economies of South Carolina. The I-95 Corridor, which runs through the heart of the Coastal Plain, is considered an area of great need due to its high poverty rates, poor quality of education, and high unemployment. To address these problems, coordinated efforts are needed to attract new industries to the I-95 Corridor, especially those associated with agriculture and forestry, the traditional backbone of most rural economies. Many agencies and organizations in South Carolina are interested in seeing the I95 Corridor improve and attract new agribusiness and bioenterprises.

To help address these issues, Clemson University, Francis Marion University, and Florence-Darlington Technical College will host the free, two-day Bioenterprise and I-95 Rural Economic Summit on Sept. 19 and 20 at the Pee Dee Research & Education Center in Florence.

Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Professor Fredrick, the summit coordinator, about the summit on the current edition of Insight.

 The summit is free and open to everyone on a first to register basis. Information about the summit, including the agenda, registration instructions, becoming an exhibitor, and directions, can be found at www.scbioenterprises.com.
