Brian Eno once said that there are two kinds of artists; those who influence the general public, and artists who influence other artists. It's hard to imagine what the landscape of popular music would look like today without the influence of Lou Reed. Lou's roots with the Velvet Underground helped pave the way for a multitude of others, and his career as a solo artist pushed the boundaries further still.
But even if you're not a fan of Lou's work, chances are that one of your favorite artists is. Imagine... had there been no Lou Reed or Velvet Underground, there would likely be no Patti Smith or David Bowie or Iggy Pop. There would have been no Talking Heads, no R.E.M., no Joy Division, no Sex Pistols, or no Television. No Roxy Music or Cars or Dream Syndicate or [insert most any other contemporary artist here]. From the dark streetwise tales of Heroin and Sweet Jane to the stratospheric drone of Metal Machine Music to the full-scale crunch of his collaboration with Metallica (at the age of sixty nine, no less), Lou never failed to push the limits, and the respect he earned among his contemporaries (and fans) is nothing short of astounding.
Thanks to Lou, our world is a much more interesting place. He will be deeply missed.

I wasn't a huge fan of Vampire Weekend before the release of their third album but I have to admit, I think they've hit on something special with their newest, Modern Vampires of the City. Their music is still as erudite and as catchy as ever, but where their early output came across as precious and affected, the new tunes exhibit an abundance of creative skill, lyrical depth and narrative complexity. One of the best albums of 2013, get your ears on it.
I have a new favorite little song ditty. The original is called Call Me Maybe and is recorded by a Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen. I have never heard of this singer, my daughter told me about her. The song I heard and really really liked and have played several times is a spoof of this song. Toledo Lucas County Public Library did a spoof music rendition of this song and posted it on YouTube. They called it Read it Maybe and it is posted by JL Jones. In this rendition The Toledo Lucas County Public Library wants you to try a book and read it (maybe). They let you know the staff can suggest a book, and that if you have a hard time getting to the library physically that they have e-books. They show a print copy of a book and then the Nook version. They use a ton of children in the video. I found it a refreshing and a pleasing way to hear about what they have to offer. It applies to all libraries so give it a listen and then try Kalamazoo Public Library.
BTW one way I think we are better than Toledo Lucas is that they say scan the barcode and we have RFID so all you have to do is wave the book over the pad, you don't have to try and line up the red line with the barcode. If you are checking out tens of books, and we encourage you to do so, our investment in RFID will save you time on check out and on returns. If you return a book to the central library you could slide it through our computerized book drop and it will automatically and instantaneously check in your book by reading the RFID tag as it slides down the chute. But Toledo Lucas Library has an aquarium and that is cool too.
The robots from Daft Punk are back after an eight year break with a new record released today and all of the new tracks are available NOW, for KPL patrons to download for free through our Freegal service. Random Access Memories is unmistakably a Daft Punk record, with the familiar vocoder and synth aesthetic, but breaks new territory with some live instrumentation thrown into the mix. The robots have collaborated with a bevy of their human musical heroes on the record and the results are often sublime, especially on THE summer jam of 2013 imo 'Get Lucky' featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers. If this track doesn't entice you to check out Freegal and all of the great free music available with your KPL card, and get you dancing at the same time, nothing will.
In 2001 the way the world listens to music changed when Apple introduced the iPod. Two years later, the iTunes Store opened for business offering owners of iPods a virtual place to purchase music. Over the past ten years billions of songs have been downloaded to the many Apple iOS devices. Some would argue that iTunes has destroyed the idea of a "traditional" album, but others claim that more people listen to different music because it is easier to access music. No matter how you feel, it is hard to deny that iTunes is the "King of all Media Delivery Systems."
I was curious to find out what the most played song was in the iTunes libraries of the staff at KPL. The answers not only provided me with insight on the listening habits of staff, but also inspired me to seek out the stuff in the library.
The most played song in my iTunes library is Matthew Sweet's "I've Been Waiting" from his 1991 album, Girlfriend. When I think about why this particular song is on top of the list, I recall the summer when both my daughters requested to listen to it multiple times. They liked to roll down the windows and sing along to infectious tune. My guess is the top tracks from other staff have a similar story.
• "Too Late" by Shoes, Karl Knack, Audio Visual •"Fluorescent Adolescent" by Arctic Monkeys, Anne Herrington, Law Library • "Plasticities" by Andrew Bird, Susan Lindemann, Facilities Management • "Teenage Riot" by Sonic Youth, Michael Cockrell, Adult Services •"Feels Like Home" by Edwina Hayes, Jill Lansky, Teen Services • "Gobbledigook" by Sigur Ros, Rick Hale, Patron Services •"Baby Girl" by Sugarland, Andrea Vernola, Youth Services • "Dirty Little Secret" by All-American Rejects, Wendy Hand, IT • "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson, Angela Fortin, Oshtemo • "Myth" by Beach House, Ryan Gage, Audio Visual
Last week, I wrote about the passing of Alvin Lee, arguably one of the world's great guitarists. They always say these things happen in threes.
Just a few weeks beforehand, February 18 to be exact, we lost Kevin Ayers. Ayers was a key player in Britain's Canterbury scene during the late 1960s. He was a founding member of the band Soft Machine, and an active solo artist. Ayers' list of early collaborators reads like a Who's Who of influential artists; from Brian Eno, Nico and John Cale (June 1, 1974), to Floydian madman Syd Barrett, Elton John, Robert Wyatt, Mike Oldfield, and others. His first solo album, Joy of a Toy, was released on EMI's new Harvest label in 1969, right beside early (now classic) releases by Deep Purple and Pink Floyd. His sixteenth and last studio album, The Unfairground, was released in 2007 to much acclaim. Ayers was 68.
This week, one more member of "British Rock Royalty" joined his departed contemporaries. Peter Banks was a founding member and the original guitarist in the prog band Yes. He was featured on the band's first two recordings, Yes and Time and a Word, before being replaced by Steve Howe in 1970. He achieved a certain degree of success with the UK band Flash during the mid-1970s. An occasional series of solo albums followed during the 1990s. Banks passed away in London on March 8 at the age of 65.
Some great early footage of Yes with Peter Banks (and later with Steve Howe) follows...
I bet it's a bit daunting to make music when your sister is Beyoncé, but Solange is doing well for herself. I enjoyed the Motown feel of her 2008 album Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams, but I'm loving her new EP True. Both are available for checkout at KPL.
And for anyone who just can't wait until the Super Bowl half-time show, KPL has plenty of Beyoncé and Destiny's Child for your listening pleasure.
I have this weird passion for obscure, offbeat Christmas recordings. Bing Crosby and Paul McCartney are all well and good, but how about Jimi Hendrix playing "Little Drummer Boy?" Well, at least you're on the right track. Or how about Robert Fripp doing "Silent Night" ala Frippertronics (yes, I mean the old school red flexi disc)? You're getting there. Or… how about The Residents' original "Santa Dog" single?? Now, that's what I'm talkin' about. The weirder, the better.
But truth be known, the lighter new agey type of ambient instrumental holiday stuff… you know, solo guitar, solo piano, acoustic ensembles… is one of my many guilty pleasures (don't tell anybody, ok?). I have lots, but there's always room for more. So that's where this week's Friends Finds come in. Of just that sort, I managed to grab a fresh copy of Ottmar Liebert's Poet & Angels (1990) on Higher Octave. And what would the acoustic holidays be without the stuff on Windham Hill(?), so I snagged a couple of seasonal samplers that I didn't have… A Winter Solstice Reunion (1998) with all the label regulars… Will Ackerman, Darol Anger, Liz Story, etc.; and Winter Wonderland (1999), a more mainstream but still likeable compilation with David Arkenstone, Alex de Grassi, Tuck & Patti, and others. At a buck apiece, I couldn't go wrong.
And just to satisfy my need for "the road less traveled," I also grabbed a copy of the Roches' We Three Kings (1994) on Rykodisc. (Actually, it's not weird at all… the Roche sisters are amazing.) And the best part is, there are plenty more where those came from (in fact, there's a whole cart full!). So stock up, the holidays are coming!
Consider this little series my own version of "Flea Market Finds," an ongoing report of the latest bargains unearthed in the lower level of Central Library. What a treasure we have (quite literally) in the Friends Bookstore. When you can grab high quality books, music, and movies for little more than pocket change, life is good. And all the proceeds go to a great cause, too. So shop often; you never know what you'll find. And stay tuned… I'll let you know what I find!
This is an ambitious aural excursion that you really owe it to yourself to experience. But be warned, this isn't your typical singer-songwriter verse-chorus-verse stuff. Bill Caskey's Dymaxion Mothership takes the listener on a complex journey across a lush audio landscape that ranges from contemplative voice and piano to full-on multi-instrumental madness. Some parts are complex and challenging, while other bits are… well… as Buddy Guy once put it, "so funky you can smell it." Tempo changes are around every corner and the production is superb. Bill's lyrics are chock full of quirky wit and introspective wordsmanship, creatively weaving imaginative tales of love and life; dreams, a small town in the summertime, and dogs chasing dragonflies. The overall result is a carefully crafted musical journey that's anything but ordinary.
"My doggie like to chase dem dinosaursShe plays for sport even though she never scoresBarn swallows hunting bugs in the springtimeShe jumps up and tries to utilize her hang timeBarn swallows slip and glideDoggie tongue hangin' out the side…"
Musical similarities? Sure, some of the obvious influences creep in here and there… "Hey Alligator" has an undeniable Steeler's Wheel feel about it (remember those guys?), "Biggest Heart" could have been on Wally De Backer's (Gotye) last album, and echoes of old school Steely Dan linger throughout… but the final outcome is all of these things… and yet none of them actually. Dymaxion Mothership is an intensely rich and remarkably satisfying original musical experience. Climb aboard the Mothership… it's an outing you don't want to miss.
In case you didn't know (shame on you!), The Relations (including Bill Caskey) put on a July concert at Central Library featuring material from Dymaxion Mothership. The concert is now up in its entirety on KPL's YouTube channel and our Concert Archives page.
Frankie Valli and the Four (4) Seasons made their mark on the popular music charts in the early 1960's, combining heavily orchestrated melodies with doo-wop vocal harmonies. With his broad vocal range and unmistakable pipes, Valli helped the group score hit after hit, including such pop standards (aka "oldies") as Big Girls Don't Cry, Sherry, Walk Like a Man, Dawn (Go Away), Ronnie, The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore, and Working My Way Back To You. Recent interest in the group has come about recently due to the success of the Broadway production of Jersey Boys. Check out Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons: The Definitive Pop Collection for an introduction to their timeless hits.

May We Feel Compassion
May each of us find our true path and learn from our mistakes (karma) and accept each other's evolutionary pathway and not feel, show, or express disapproval with the choices the other makes.
May we feel compassion instead of hatred, love instead of anger, and an acceptance not only of others but of ourselves as well. May each of us do all of the above in a mindful way.

A fantastic marathon run by the local people of Tresco. The course is quite tough and consists of 7.5 laps of the island with 3 hills per lap. The scenery is fantastic, with excellent views of the surrounding islands as you run around the course. There are plenty of water/feeding stations around the course. The support during the race from locals and supporting families and friends is second to none. The medal presentation in the village hall is a very personal touch that makes Tresco special. A spectacular post-race buffet put on by the local chefs is not to be missed. A truly memorable marathon that should be done by every runner at least once.
Excellent support with pre and post massage, and champagne buffet medal ceremony to finish. Small restricted field of 125, and runners have to raise a set sponsorship amount for cystic fibrosis. Cannot fault the organization; definitely one to do....
Excellent day. The organization was brilliant, the course was tough but a challenge, and the other runners were very generous with their comments and encouragement. Thoroughly enjoyed the day; one of the best I have had. Thank you.

Footage in N. Korea state-sponsored video depicting missile attack against U.S. looks familiar to gamers
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
North Korea is threatening a third nuclear test, and this time Kim Jong Un (**Sexiest Man Alive 2012) is going multi-media by releasing a video to accompany the nuke test:
It begins benignly enough, with an image of a sleeping young North Korean man, and a genteel piano version of the US feel-good pop anthem We Are the World providing the musical backdrop.
But the YouTube video recently posted by Uriminzokkiri, North Korea's official website, quickly takes a more sinister turn as the man's dream continues into the realms of Stalinist fantasy.
Within seconds he is aboard a space shuttle, launched into orbit by the same type of rocket the North successfully launched in December. The shuttle orbits Earth, at one point passing over a jubilant and reunified Korean peninsula, before the focus switches to an unidentified city draped in the Stars and Stripes.
What appear to be missiles rain down on the city, setting fire to high-rise buildings in scenes reminiscent of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York.
"Somewhere in the United States, black clouds of smoke are billowing," the Korean-language caption says. "It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze."
The ease with which the North's dozing pilot circumnavigates the planet owes more to North Korea's ability in visual special effects than the reality of its space programme.
During the "dream" sequence, an attack on New York is depicted:
Drudge links to this video from the game Modern Warfare 3 that shows the exact same scene:
The video isn't from North Korea's assuredly excellent special effects team, rather it's taken directly from a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 cutscene. You can't make this stuff up.
In the game, the US comes under attack by an angry Russia during what amounts to World War III, hence Manhattan being under fire by a barrage of missiles. But in the North Korean video, they're taking all the credit.
The good news is that the U.S. government won't have to respond to this threat. The army of Activision lawyers who are about to mobilize against Kim Jong Un for copyright infringement is about to make D-Day look like a cub scout meeting.

Letter: Thank you, 'I Grow Lemont'
To the Editor:
On behalf of Lemont Township and the Lemont Food Pantries, I would like to thank "I Grow Lemont" sincerely for assisting households here in Lemont Township that are struggling to live at or below the local poverty level. You have assisted in so many ways with what you have put on the tables in these homes. Your vision, the product of your work and your compassion has produced fresh, healthy eating for homes that otherwise have passed on purchasing nutritious options because of the cost.
To supply fresh vegetables via donations to the food pantries, distribution through events hosted for low-income households, or allowing myself to hand deliver fresh veggies to individual's homes is a gift that has been received with much gratitude and appreciation.

text: EcoFriend -- One of the many product designs that could very well describe what future technology would be like is the Wind Challenger Project, a ship design said to reduce fuel consumption considerably, and particularly in huge merchant vessels. The project is being developed by a group comprising members from the University of Tokyo and by fusing old school concepts with modern technology.The team's idea is to use giant retractable sails measuring 20 meters wide and 50 meters high and maximizing wind energy. It has performed computer simulations for various shipping routes such as the Yokohama – Seattle route with results that proved to be encouraging. The simulations show that hybrid ships with engines and sails are believed to bring down annual fuel consumption by around 30 percent. Read the Full Article

Ed Stephenson was named associate head men's lacrosse coach at UMBC on July 1, 2011.
Stephenson, who served as the head coach at Binghamton University since the program's inception in 2001 until March of 2011, returns to Baltimore, where he was the first full-time assistant coach for the Retrievers from 1995-2000.
"I am absolutely thrilled to have Ed Stephenson return to UMBC," Zimmerman said. "Coach Stephenson is a person of principle and strong character. He has proven himself to be one of the top defensive minds in the game of lacrosse and is admired and respected by his colleagues. His ability to relate to players both on and off the field is invaluable to their growth and development."
Stephenson built a very successful program at Binghamton both on and off of the field. In 2004, the Bearcats' third year of competition, Stephenson directed the squad to an undefeated conference regular season. He earned America East Coach of the Year honors that season, as the Bearcats were the nation's top team in scoring defense. In 2006, he piloted the squad to its first top-20 ranking at No. 16.
Stephenson led
The program earned a prestigious National Sportsmanship Award in 2004 and 2006, demonstrating the highest levels of integrity and character. Under Stephenson, the Bearcats maintained the highest men's lacrosse team grade-point average and earned the highest percentage of academic honorees in the America East Conference from 2005-10.
Stephenson also coached the inaugural Division I women's lacrosse team at
Stephenson has served on the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Rules Committee (2008-11), the USILA Men's Lacrosse weekly ranking committee from (2006-11) and the NCAA Men's Lacrosse All-America voting committee (2008-11), and he was an NCAA site representative for the 2010 NCAA Division I first-round games in Ithaca, N.Y.
Stephenson had an outstanding playing career, earning All-America honors as a defenseman at
Stephenson earned his bachelor's degree from
"Coach Stephenson is very familiar with UMBC and the America East Conference," Zimmerman said. "He has a healthy perspective on the balance between athletics and academics and his energy is contagious. Our players will benefit immensely from their interaction and relationship with Coach Stephenson."

As the holiday season approaches, we all look towards the mountains for winter activities such as skiing and snowboarding. Don't forget that there are many other family oriented things to do whether you are going just for a day or have longer to spend.
Banff is always a great place to spend some time. My kids used to love stopping to see the hoodoos, riding up the gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain and, of course, spending time on Banff Avenue visiting the candy store and the rock shop.
Think of dog-sledding and horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice skating, tobogganing and sledding. The Hot Springs are open year round as is the Gondola. Just imagine the snowy vistas you can see from the top of the mountain!! Check the Town of Banff website for information on winter activities.
If you prefer to be indoors, you can visit some of the museums such as the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies (I loved the historic photographs) or the Banff Park Museum National Historic Site of Canada (The kids loved the animals.) One of my personal favorites is a stroll through the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Legend has it that the main stairway is haunted by the ghost of a bride who fell as she descended the stairs.
Jasper is another great place to go. The Maligne Canyon ice walk offers a chance to see frozen waterfalls and fanciful ice formations. The Jasper tourism site lists the tour companies which will guide you through this frozen wonderland. You can find information on both indoor and outdoor activities on this webpage.
Lake Louise and Canmore also offer a host of winter activities. I particularly love skating on Lake Louise with the mountains towering around us.
You can make the most of your visit by checking out some of these great books at Calgary Public Library before you go. Find some hidden corners that you haven't discovered before.

Vibrant Health Field of Greens - 426 g. (15.02 oz)
Vibrant Health Field of Greens is a collection of organic, Kosher, raw green foods that sets a new standard in green food nutrition, supporting for immunity, and overall health. Vibrant Health Field of Greens sets a new standard for purity and healthful goodness among purely green foods. Vibrant Health Field of Greens is the benchmark green food product for anyone seeking an organic, purely green food with maximum nutritional value.
Vibrant Health Field of Greens has assiduously sought the absolute highest quality green food ingredients. New technologies have been brought to bear on the components of Vibrant Health Field of Greens so that full nutrition can be delivered. Each food is processed in the gentlest manner possible, and dried at the lowest temperature ever employed in this industry. That means each ingredient is a truly raw food. Full nutrition from the best greens from the best organic farmers in the United States flows into each jar of Field of Greens and then out to you each time you use it.
More Than Just Wheat Grass Field of Greens is not just wheat grass or wheat grass juice powder, and not just barley grass either. It is a unique combination of the best green foods that can grow from organic soil. And that's important. Field of Greens is made from 100% certified organic:
Raw Food Vibrant Health and its suppliers have gone one step farther in the use of certified organic ingredients. We have taken great care to dry and process each ingredient at the lowest possible temperature in order to preserve as much of the full nutrient value of the plant in its raw state.
The exact definition of raw food varies, but the general consensus states that a raw food is a food that has not been altered by any method that would change its basic chemical structure through heating. The temperature at which changes take place is designated at or over 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Ingredients in Field of Greens have been dried at temperatures ranging from 40 degrees to 94 degrees Fahrenheit.
About Vibrant Health
Vibrant Health is a brand of products to assist the healing of illness and the establishment of optimum health. Both natural pharmaceuticals (nutraceuticals) and products for general health improvement can be found within the line.
Nutritional science and biochemistry have taken us far beyond the simpler concept of nutritional supplementation by vitamins and minerals alone. Product development at Vibrant Health is based on scientific discoveries that lead us to combine recognized nutrients with more recently identified natural therapeutic factors from plants, animals, earth and laboratory into truly effective dietary supplements and concentrated foods.
Vibrant Health Motivation Vibrant Health was founded in order to provide trustworthy, high-quality nutritional supplements that deliver the benefits claimed. We anticipate that if our quality products work, then our consumers will appreciate our efforts, and we will survive to develop additional, helpful products. After all, our purpose is to do our best to deliver robust health to the consumer or patient.
The Science of Vibrant Health
Vibrant Health is a brand for those seeking vibrant health. Our promise is to design and market the most nutritionally valuable food supplements we can for the benefit of all men, women, and children. Delivering on that promise is a serious endeavor, and we work diligently toward that end for you.
Vibrant Health's products provide supplemental nutrition that can support human biochemistry. Since the human body appears to carry a certain infinite wisdom, the establishment of optimum health often follows appropriate dietary improvements. The steady decline in trace nutrient value of our fresh foods — as evidenced in the U.S. Deaprtment of Agriculture's analyses of our food supply — has, in the opinion of Vibrant Health, established a mandate for supplemental nutrition. We believe supplemental nutrition is no longer an option, it is a necessity if one hopes to achieve robust and vibrant health.

Q: What is a "green food"? A: A green food, in our estimation, is more than just anything that is green. Yes, it is important that the food be a green plant, but the concept of a "green food" in the dietary supplement industry carries with it the understanding that it is not only green, but also nutrient dense. At the top of the list of such foods are parsley, and the cereal grasses. Each of these foods is decidedly NOT succulent, meaning they are not pumped up with water or sugars or starches or fats. You can think of them as the power packed, lean athletes of the plant kingdom. Relative to the amount of calories present in the plants, there is a much greater biomass of trace nutrients than in any other food we know of at this time. If you dry such green foods, and then powder them, opening cells to full digestion, or take away the small amount of cellulose through juicing in order to release the nutrients, the beneficial impact on biochemistry can be significant.
Q: What is a "super food"? A: The term "super food" has become muddied recently with the introduction of individual exotic plants such as Amla and Goji berries, for example, many of which are touted as super foods by themselves. The claim is based on their content of unique polyphenols or broad range of nutrients (as in the case of Amla) that give them better nutrient density than foods commonly eaten. However, as marketing has its way, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, broccoli, onions and cauliflower, among others, are now having the term "super food" attached to them, some more deservedly than others.
Given that Vibrant Health introduced the first "super food," Green Vibrance, to the retail market in 1992, we probably have – or at least had – the authority to define the term. Our interpretation is that a super food aggressively presents the human body with a broad range of nutrients at meaningful potencies but along with the fewest number of calories possible. In other words, a super food MUST be extremely nutrient dense. But in order to make good on its promise of being "super," those nutrients must make it into the body, and be utilized. Therefore, a comprehensive super food must also do all it can to rehabilitate or enhance digestive capabilities in the consumer, and improve circulation so that those nutrients can ultimately be delivered to every cell of the body. In addition, our modern, more hygienic environment, infused as it is with man-made toxic elements (e.g. dioxins, PCBs, lead, cadmium, pesticides, etc.), requires both improvement to our immune systems, and support for liver function. If immunity is strong, and the liver is efficiently removing waste substances and toxins, one's health can be advanced to a "super" level. These are, indeed, the core functions of Green Vibrance.
Q: What are the benefits for athletes in adding green foods to their regimen? A: Endurance, strength and faster recovery. As each cell is provided the trace nutrients it needs to function at optimal efficiency (a primary goal of Green Vibrance for instance), cells will have no trouble producing energy on demand, thereby boosting both strength and endurance. It follows that cellular wastes, generated during a workout, will be more efficiently expelled from the cell, and that tissue repair will be more speedily accomplished.
Q: How do you recommend athletes add green foods to their diet effectively? A: Simply mixing them into water or a smoothie or a favorite juice is sufficient. In the case of Green Vibrance, more probiotics will survive the digestive process if the product is taken 30 to 45 minutes AFTER a meal. At that stage of digestion, food from the preceding meal has diluted stomach acid, raising pH to a level that will not degrade the probiotics in Green Vibrance.
Q: Does Green Vibrance contain any phytates or lectins? These are found in grains and I cannot consume them. A: Whole grains can indeed be looked upon as the primary source for phytates. Lectins are more abundant in beans. Phytates are famous for inhibiting absorption of minerals, while lectins interfere with protein digestion, and slow the breakdown of carbohydrate. Both come from the mature seed of the plant.
Green Vibrance DOES NOT contain any component derived from any mature grain or bean other than 200 mg of de- oiled flaxseed and pure, anti-nutrient free phospholipids (lecithin) from soybeans. No ingredient within Green Vibrance is known to be a source of either phytates or lectins. Cereal grasses from wheat, oat or barley are just that: grasses. They are the immature plant that sprouts from the ground looking very much like a ramrod straight, unmowed the lawn before harvest. These immature plants are extremely nutrient dense just prior to the jointing phase, and are still many, many weeks away from developing their seed heads. Therefore, since Green Vibrance contains cereal grass juice powders and neither any grains from a mature plant's seed head nor any bean extracts or powders or substances of any kind, Green Vibrance is not known to contain any phytates or lectins.
One primary goal of Green Vibrance is to deliver concentrated nutrition and improve the consumer's digestive capabilities. The formula was specifically designed so that it would not contain either phytates or lectins, substances that interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption. On the contrary, it contains a host of (rather costly) ingredients whose roles are to enhance digestive capabilities, making nutrient absorption more rapid and efficient.

Rhode Island has two groups of shellfishermen. One group digs clams off the bottom of Narragansett Bay. These are the wild harvesters. Many Rhode Islanders call them quahoggers.
By John Lee
Contributing Writer | 11/25/13 |
A few years ago Point Judith scallop captain Michael Marchetti had a conversation with Peg Parker, the executive director of the Rhode Island-based Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation. They talked about scallop guts, or viscera, the part of the animal that every scallop boat tosses overboard as an unused byproduct, saving only the white meats that end up on dinner plates. "Michael was interested in coming up with ways to use the viscera that might benefit the fishing industry," Parker said.

PROVIDENCE – The Department of Health is advising restaurants, markets and consumers that raw and undercooked oysters and hard clams harvested from waters with specific lot numbers in Norwalk and Westport, Conn., have been named as the source of a number of illnesses related to the bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which can cause serious illness. According to the department, among the distributors who received the recalled shellfish was a distributor in Rhode Island, American Mussel.

At Western, she found her niche in the Honors Program, a rigorous academic program for highly motivated and excelling students. Gelfer, a geology student and member of Western's women's rowing team, finds a way to balance rigorous classes that include lengthy labs and a sport - in her case, one that is both physically demanding and time-consuming. That's the way of life for most honors students at Western. Admission to the program is based solely on academic record, and while Honors students are high academic achievers, the program attracts some of the university's most balanced and involved students. Like Gelfer, many of them are also athletes or musicians - generally well-rounded individuals who know how to juggle many responsibilities and activities. The program appeals to high-achieving students, says Honors Program director and history professor George Mariz, because of the attention they receive here. With about 60 honors students per year graduating and a low professor-to-student ratio, students have access to private-college education within a larger university - without the hefty private-college price tag. The past few years have seen high student interest, with about 480 applicants in 2010, about 530 in 2011 and a record-shattering 870 this year. One of every 11 students who applied to Western this year also applied to the Honors Program. Mariz has noticed an overlap between students who are applying to Western Honors and students applying to private small liberal arts colleges, and in some years, even the larger, more well-known schools such Stanford, Rice and Yale. Honors courses are not necessarily harder, he says; they are just a different kind of work. They're discussion-based and push for critical thinking. "Our classes are small, they're highly interactive - there's a lot of interaction between students and faculty, a lot of interaction among students themselves," Mariz says. |

Thge Loyola MAROON October 31,1991 Volume 70 No. 9 Loyola University New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 Candlelight march reclaims the night By Chris Raphael and Abby Krai Staff Writers Students and faculty from Loyola and Tulane campuses "took back the night" with a peaceful vengeance last Thursday in a candlelight march to protest and raise awareness of violence against women. According to some women, it was the first time they felt safe walking around campus anywhere during the nighttime this year. Starting from Tulane's Pocket Park, approximately 300 marchers paraded down Freret Street to St. Charles Avenue, shouting "Sisters united will never be defeated" and "Take your hands off my body." Ending up at Loyola's horseshoe, the demonstrators placed a Venus symbol, draped in tissue splattered with red substance symbolizing blood, in front of the Jesus statue outside Marquette Hall. The march, the first of its kind, was organized and paid for by several organizations from Loyola and Tulane universities, including Loyola's Sexual Aggression Committee, the Women's Issues Organization, the Loyola University Community Action Program (LUCAP), City College Women, and Alpha Chi Omega. The marchers wore green arm bands representing their refusal to surrender their agenda and their hope that fear of violence would no longer rule their lives. In an opening address from the Pocket Park, Dr. Rebecca Mark, English professor at Tulane, proclaimed the march a "night of echoes and shadows." "I hear the echoes of my friends and lovers who have been raped in the night undercover, in the day in their beds by boyfriends, and in their homes by fathers," she said. "I hear the echoes of my black sisters under slavery... terrified of the footsteps which mean yes, once again the white master is entering their cabin — entering against their will, their lives, entering by force and violence, raping, wrenching,wrenching, tearing their bodies. I hear their silent screams... right here on plantation land. " "We take back the power... to walk when we want, where we want, with whom we want," she concluded. Several other women also addressed the crowd, painfully reliving the violence they had been subjugated to and convincing other women to seek help for battery, rape, and other violent crimes. "Being in a destructive relationship is like an open wound; it just continues to fester and it never heals," said Denise Gremillion, an employee in Loyola's admissions office. "The LUCAP promotes literacy among local poor By Lisa Burns Assistant News Editor The small parking area at the Our Lady of Lourdes Social Service Center buzzed with the excitement of children's laughter as if it were recess, and playtime was due to end at any moment. Then the children began to point in the direction of a small white van approaching the curb. No celebrities got out, or at least none that would be easily recognizable. lastead, a small groupof college students hurriedly jumped from the van and greeted the enthusiastic kids with as much fervor as was be ingdisplaycd before them. This was school, and these children were ready and willing to learn. They range from grades two through five and are part of a program to improve student literacy sponsored by Loyola students. After-school tutoring is a part of the Loyola University Community Action Program (LUCAP), which sponsors similar programs ai St. Monica Social Service Center and Sophie B. Wright Middle School. Tutoring is given in reading, writing, and math to poor children who are at risk of failure in school due to poor student-teacher relations or domestic problems. Sister Anita, director of the Our Lady of Lourdes center, believes that Loyola's partici pation in the program will help to attain the goal of creating closer relationships between students and teachers. "1 feel it's a fantastic program reachingout to students who don't have role models, and the Loyola students are role models who really relate to these children." Sister Anita admits that the program, which is in its first semester at Lourdes, still has a lot of kinks. She said the relationships between tutors and children are excellent, but she believes that the tutors could use more direction in areas to Eager to learn — Lyonel, a participant in LUCAP's student literarcy program at Our Lady of Lourdes Social Service Center, is surprisingly more than happy to hand in his homework. /Photo by Greer Gattuso Religous Studies: a profile of scholastic distinction By (irej; Lacour Staff writer Dr. Daniel Sheridan, associate professor of religious studies, sat in his office last Tuesday afternoon against a backdrop of the instruments of his trade: books on Christianity, ancient Indian religion, comparative religion, and academic life, all stacked on a huge bookshelf towering behind his desk. Asked if he saw a conflict between the intellectual concerns of his department and those of faith, he paused and thought. "No," he finally said, "the two are eminently compatible." There are within the operations of Loyola's religious studies department several examples like this, in which seeming academic enemies become partners. Intellectual and academic concerns do not interfere with students' faith but enhance it, say professors. Faculty are politically and socially liberal, Dr. James Gaffney, department chairperson and professor of religious studies, says, but they are nonetheless disturbed by the "political correctness" movement sweeping campuses. Three seniorreligious stud ies faculty were adamant in their lack of support of the Rev. George Lundy, S.J., senior vice president and dean of Faculties, last year, but each insists they were so out of concern for Lundy and Loyola, not rancor. Eminent compatibility. Strange bedfellows. "There's a definite de-emphasis," Gaffney said of his department, "on party-line Catholic orthodoxy." "Sound academically" Gaffney stressed his view of the importance of "pluralism" in any academic study of religion."The notion is that, particularly for an undergraduate in a country like the United States, what's needed is an awareness of various religious traditions. These people of various faiths are the people we have to live with, and we should be able to approach them with intelligenceSee Women's night /page 3 See LUCAP/page 3 See Religious studies /page 4 - Seepjrigef^.fl.^
