Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Closing The Gap On Mental Health: When Clinics Close (Part 2)

Reset continues our weeklong series Closing The Gap with a focus on the availability-or the lack of it-of mental health treatment in Chicago. We look back at the city’s decision to close 7 clinics under Mayor Daley, then half of the 12 remaining clinics during the Emanuel administration. Then we talk to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, who was among those who raised concerns about the 2012 closings and the impact it might have on his jail population. Finally we visit with Jennifer Smith, program director at the Encompassing Center, a mental health clinic on the west side created by and for members of the community. For more Reset interviews, subscribe to this podcast and please leave us a rating. That helps other listeners find us.

Consider This from NPR - George Floyd Case: Trial Of Former Police Officer Derek Chauvin Underway

Jury selection in the highly anticipated trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin began Tuesday after being delayed amid an effort to gain clarity on the potential of a third-degree murder charge. Chauvin faces charges in the killing of George Floyd last Memorial Day.

Jamiles Lartey, who reports on criminal justice and policing for The Marshall Project, explains the delay.

NPR's Leila Fadel and Adrian Florido have been covering the trial in Minneapolis.

Benjamin Crump, the attorney representing the family of George Floyd, argues that civil suits could deter police violence — even if settlements aren't accompanied by a criminal conviction.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Ologies with Alie Ward - Nephrology (KIDNEYS) with Samira Farouk

What’s in pee? Should you donate a kidney to a stranger? Which hurts worse: childbirth or kidney stones? Why are some kidneys the size of footballs? March is World Kidney Month and before you shrug it off: 15% of adults have chronic kidney disease -- and most don’t even know it. This episode could save a life. Transplant Nephrologist Dr. Samira Farouk chats about how nephrology is for cool kids, how transplant chains work, legends about bathtubs filled with ice, how dialysis works, where nephrology ends and urology begins, how much water you should drink and why kidney punches aren’t allowed in boxing. Also: asparagus pee and #NephMadness.

SCOTUScast - Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee – Post-Argument SCOTUScast

On March 2, 2021 the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee. The questions before the court were: first, whether Arizona’s out-of-precinct policy, which does not count provisional ballots cast in person on Election Day outside of the voter’s designated precinct, violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act; and, second, whether Arizona’s ballot-collection law, which permits only certain persons (i.e., family and household members, caregivers, mail carriers and elections officials) to handle another person’s completed early ballot, violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act or the 15th Amendment.
Derek Muller, Professor of Law at University of Iowa's College of Law, joins us today to discuss this case's oral argument.
