TRILLIUM a new CD by Kori Linae Carothers

Kori moves between the worlds of achingly beautiful acoustic piano composition and lavish keyboard production with remarkable ease. The result is Trillium, a cohesive collection of compositions of stunning breadth and dynamic range, confidently held together by her singular musical voice- Will Ackerman.
Kori was born in Cedar City, Utah. She grew up in Minnesota listening to many varied artists ranging from Rock and Roll to Jazz. When she turned 8, she decided she wanted to learn to play the piano. Her parents encouraged her interest by having her take lessons. Many musical artists influenced Kori's music including: Yanni, Vangelis, Enya, Tangerine Dream, Mannheim Steamroller, Shadowfax, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, to name a few. In May of 2003, Kori's husband took her to see a Yanni concert in the hopes that it would fuel the desire to return to music writing after a 12 year period of off and on writing. It worked!! After a 12 year break, she is back to composing and is performing live locally.

Harve Presnell dies of cancer, age 75

Harve Presnell (September 14, 1933 - June 30, 2009) was a Golden Globe-winning American film, musical theatre and television actor and singer.
His height, booming voice, and operatic training landed him the role of Johnnie Brown in Meredith Willson's musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown on stage which premiered on Broadway in 1960. He later reprised the role in the 1964 film version. He appeared as a cavalry scout in The Glory Guys (1965) and sang the stirring "They Call the Wind Maria" in the 1969 film Paint Your Wagon. Presnell did some other film and television work in the 1960s and early 1970s, but for the next couple of decades concentrated primarily on stage work, playing Rhett Butler in the West End production of Scarlett and touring the United States as Daddy Warbucks in Annie and its sequel, Annie Warbucks, among other productions.

Travel As A Political Act

Travel connects people with people. It helps us fit more comfortably and compatibly into a shrinking world. And it inspires creative new solutions to persistent problems facing our nation. We can’t understand our world without experiencing it. Traveling as a Political Act helps us take that first step. There’s more to travel than good-value hotels, great art, and tasty cuisine. Americans who “travel as a political act” can have the time of their lives and come home smarter—with a better understanding of the interconnectedness of today’s world and just how our nation fits in. In his new book, acclaimed travel writer Rick Steves explains how to travel more thoughtfully—to any destination. He shares a series of field reports from Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East to show how his travels have shaped his politics and broadened his perspective.

Food, Inc. exposes America's industrialized food system and its effect on our environment, health, economy and workers' rights.

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
