A young reporter courageously broadcasts her personal struggle with her mother's very rare brain disorder. Touching, candid and truly fine radio work!
All Victoria (Vikky) Cruz knew was that her mother was sick. Her mother hasn't been able to walk in years, can barely speak and goes into rages, but no one ever told Vikky why. Now, at 17-years-old, Vikky struggles to cope with her mother's illness, a rare gentetic disease called neuroacanthytosis, and the ways it's taken over the mother.
Time to see this reposted on the net.
We're hear'n a lot about brain illnesses this week. What are they, which one is the worst one, are there any we should bend for more than others, should we propose forgiving those who insult, hurt, harm and even kill us - if they are driven by brain sickness? Where does stigma come into all of this? Should we have parity? Who is right, who is wrong, what sort of things can we forgive due to mental illness?

The video-sharing Web site YouTube is probably best known as the place to find silly home videos of klutzy cats, clever babies and lip-syncing soccer moms. But YouTube is becoming increasingly important to the music business. In fact, some industry professionals say it has become the MTV of the digital generation.
In the old days, new bands created buzz by playing clubs and getting on local radio. Today, record labels often gauge a new band's popularity by looking on YouTube. Jeff Dodes, head of multimedia for a division of Sony Music, says that's where one of his talent scouts saw the video for the song "The Stanky Leg," by The GS Boyz. "The Stanky Leg" had created so much excitement on YouTube that Sony decided to sign The GS Boyz. And Dodes says that when the group makes its record for the label, he'll take The GS Boyz back to YouTube to promote it.
But once a group is signed to a label promotion teams use a number of tricks to make sure that YouTube users actually see videos by their artists. Jeremy Maciak of Vagrant Records points to a video by the label's band A Cursive Memory. Maciak says the production is simple, consisting of "the band jumping in front of paparazzi and behind velvet ropes all throughout Hollywood with a boom box on their shoulder, singing their song, which is called 'Everything.' "
The video is filled with shots of well-known celebrities, all of whom are named in the video's tags, which Maciak says garnered a lot of exposure for the video. The video was viewed hundreds of thousands of times, but not necessarily because people were looking for the song.The video-sharing Web site YouTube is probably best known as the place to find silly... more
