Baobab, heralded by Organics Processing Magazine as one of 2011′s top organic superfoods, is an African fruit harvested from what locals refer to as “the tree of life.” High in Vitamin C, Baobab has as many antioxidants as goji berries, more calcium than milk, more iron than red meat, more potassium than a banana and more magnesium than spinach.

“When we tasted baobab for the first time at Expo West in March 2011, we were interested in the flavor option, but once we saw that the nutritional benefits were off the charts, we knew we had the chance to once again create another exciting, innovative entry in the granola category,” said Rob Goluba, Director of Marketing for Hearthside Foods. “After our R&D team optimized the Baobab Coconut granola recipe, we quickly introduced this item to our offering to complement our existing industry-leading lineup of delicious bulk granolas.”

Hearthside Foods’ Baobab Coconut granola is available under the new GT Classic brand, in a 25 lb. bulk case. GT Classic Baobab Coconut granola is loaded with over 27 grams of whole grains per serving and is a good source of fiber and protein. This delicious granola product is available in the bulk foods section of natural and specialty retailers across the country.

The LIVE surgery, which occurred on September 24th, was an exciting example of Noble Vision Group’s dedication to delivering cutting edge technology to the eye care market.

Noble Vision Group President Patrick H. Witham commented, “We take tremendous pride in our organization’s ability to be agile and diverse, especially when presented with an opportunity to participate in developing a vehicle to deliver tools that ultimately advance this area of medicine. Of course, an event like this is always much easier when you are afforded the privilege of working with a highly skilled surgeon and great teacher such as Dr. Black.”

Medical professionals from over 14 different countries spanning 4 continents watched as Dr. Evan Black conducted a Laser Assisted Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) Surgery using the MULTIDIODE® S15 OFT System, a laser specially developed for lacrimal surgery. Dr. Black has been performing endonasal DCR since 1998, and using the MULTIDIODE System for transcanalicular DCR since 2007.

The MULTIDIODE® System, produced and distributed by ITI Laser, is the first DCR laser to receive worldwide CE approval and is the only FDA approved laser indicated for DCR surgery. The system is based upon high power, diode, laser, semi-conductor technology and enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures in as little as 10 minutes.

Dr. Black described the event, saying, “The surgery went very well. When the patient was seen postoperatively at one week, he was comfortable, had no edema or eccymosis, and the tearing problem seems to be resolved. We will recheck him in about one month.”

A live question and answer session moderated by Dr. Paul S. Koch immediately followed the surgery and is included in the recorded version. Now open to the public, the recording of the LIVE surgery can be viewed by visiting http://www.michiganliveevents.com/bcast/NV/NVmain.php .
