HANNA CITY, Ill.-- Saturday's nicer weather attracted quite a few people out to Wildlife Prairie State Park.
Wildlife lovers young and old came out Saturday for Wildlife Prairie State Park's spring wake up.
The park had free admission and was packed with hundreds of people.
Visitors had the unique opportunity to leave their mark on the park by decorating stepping stones.
8-year-old Addison Deal says she's happy her stepping stone will be featured in the park.
Her father, Clay Deal says they'll be coming back more often to see it.
Clay Deal said, "We try to make it out here about once a month we're going to try to get out here a little more often this year that's why were here on opening day."
He took the opportunity to become a member so his family can enjoy their favorite exhibits whenever they want.
Deal said, "It's just a great resource for the area it's a wonderful place to bring the kids there's so much to do it's great to have them outdoors instead of watching television so it's just a great resource and we love to support this."
And all that support is what makes it possible for the park to stay open year-round.
Event Coordinator Melissa Sauder says some new changes are coming to the park.
Sauder said, "The butterfly habitat will be opening in May and lots of improvements are going on so it's really great because it feels like it's coming back to life."
Back to Wildlife for the start of spring.

KENNEWICK, Wash. -- Luke Lee-Knight has started every game in net for the Tri-City Americans since Eric Comrie's hip injury. That is all 12 games so far in January, with another one Wednesday against Prince George. Lee-Knight has seven wins and a 3.74 goals against average. Lee-Knight admits last weekend's back-to-back games were a true test physically.
"It's definitely a bit of fatigue, but I'm taking care of my body well enough. I'm at that age where I know what to be doing and when to do it, when to not," Lee-Knight said.
"If you look at the shots on goal and the quality chances the two teams had over the weekend, it's not just a reflecting of Luke, it's the people that were in front of him. I think collectively we have to tighten up and not allow some of the great scoring opportunities," head coach Jim Hiller added.

Matt Forte's line on Sunday night was 39 Yards, 19 Carries, Zero Touchdowns, good for 2 yards per carry. Take a wild guess to why that happened.
Eight men in the Box.
Not just Eight men in the Box, but good run defenders who've held teams to 73 yards per game on the ground.
Lets take a look at how the Houston Texans punished the Bears running game when they ran out of the 2TE/2RB
First and Ten at 11:43 in the 3rd Quarter, at the Texans 41 yard line. Texans come out onto the field with 10 players, Earl Bennett the lone wideout moving from left to right across the 2TE/2RB formation, Whitney Mercilus comes running out onto the field to the RLB spot. The Texans have their down linemen bunched up over the middle of the formation.
At the snap the play flows to the right, Webb blocks Watt, Louis pulls into the double team block that Carimi and Louis execute to take out the LDE, Antonio Smith, in what is your simple Power O run, pull the LG, and seal the inside of the hole while the play moves to the right.
Problem is, Lance Louis gets there slowly, but all those bodies in the center of the formation make it difficult for holes to be opened. Garza gets pushed around by Rookie DT Jared Crick, while moving towards the hole.Even Danieal Manning was standing right over the left side where Davis was handling Whitney Mercilus if Forte cut back.
The Texans were sniffing out these plays, these double team blocks that open up big holes inside for Forte to run between and into some daylight. Michael Bush had a few of those hisself. The problem is, not only having 8 men in the box, but having your linemen closed together, it forces you to run outside, even with double team blocking, even though you have guys on the outside.
But it wasn't there.
Matt Spaeth got beat on the edge by Connor Barwin closing off that end. Nowhere to go. What you see here is a disciplined effort on the defending the run by containing the edges, and not letting the offensive linemen create seams for the generally shifty Matt Forte to hit and gain positive yardage. It wasn't just positive play by the Texans, but solid adjustment and coaching by Wade Phillips.
Next up is again, First and Ten on the Bears 48 yard line. Bears once again in the 2TE/2RB formation, only with Brandon Marshall replacing Earl Bennett. Texans are in the 5-3. Yes. 5-3. With a safety in the box as well. Nine guys in the box.
What does Forte do?
Try to run it at the bubble.
Now, I don't know what Tice was trying to prove, running up the middle and all, but these inside runs were doing NOTHING, nothing at all. Again, the Texans DL is bunched in the center, and the OLB's outside of the TE's. Matt Spaeth does a better job this time around pushing LOLB Connor Barton, but still, the gaps inside are too small for Matt Forte to fit through, and again, minimal gain.
Now, Mike Bush had a good run in this formation, but, the blocking was also better. 13:10 in the Fourth, same 2TE/2RB formation that That gap, on the right side between the LOLB and the LDE, gets sucked up with the double team and Evan Rodriguez blocks James Bradie inside.
And that's the gap that Forte wanted all day, but never got. Lets take a look at it from the back, because the side view doesn't do that hole justice.
Kellen Davis pushed Connor Barton outside just enough, and Evan Rodriguez got his ILB inside to give Bush that hole, and he took it to a hurdle at the end into Danieal Manning.
Looking back, I would have liked to see the Bears try to run a bit more out of a 3 wide set, as the OLB's were constantly dominating the TE's in the running game. The Bears tried forcing the play, but Wade's defense played it right, and the OLB's executed well in containing the edges to keep forte from escaping. The Bears ran that formation a lot against the Texans, and while it worked alright against the pass rush, the Bears line had little chance against that stout run defense. Going through the film, what they tried to execute on offense seemed to be opposed to what they should have been doing. As I was discussing with Wiltfong briefly: Where are the stretch plays, where are the counters, the outside runs?
So, I ask, in addition: What about the passing calls? They've been very good lately, but the running? It's like Mike Tice hasn't figured out how to run against defense, how to make changes in the run game when defenses start doing things. It was something they tried to force, but couldn't actually execute. How much of it was the field? How much of it was Tice not forcing the defense to play outside of what they're comfortable with?
I feel Mike Tice came into the game with one gameplan and stuck with it through the entire game, as if it wasn't raining, as if the Bears were going to be able to move the ball through the air, and his lack of adjustments led to a poor showing in the run game, on a sloppy night.

"Top Seven Predictions for the Future of Research"
My colleague, Uta Grothkopf, ESO Library just shared this blog and I thought I would continue the sharing...what do you all think? Is this the direction you see?
Jisc (originally: Joint Information Systems Committee) is an organization in the UK that offers leadership and support to UK educational organizations (http://www.jisc.ac.uk/aboutus.aspx). Sarah Porter, head of innovation at Jisc, and Torsten Reimer published an blog post entitled
"Top seven predictions for the future of research"
According to the authors, these are:
1. Research will go mobile
Tablet computers and mobile phones are sophisticated enough to collect data during field work and sometimes even to process it, allowing researchers to share findings instantaneously with distributed teams across the globe
2. Lines between professionals, amateurs and the public will blur Researchers and citizen scientists collaborate through "crowd sourcing" (example: Galaxy Zoo)
3. Researchers fully embrace social media Scientists increasingly use social media to share and discover information. Social media will enhance the visibility and reputation of researchers (example: "altmetrics", alternative metrics to journal impact factors based on discussions and mentioning in social media)
4. Data will drive research across many disciplines Data-driven research will become more prominent in many disciplines including for instance the humanities
5. Automate it
Automated parts of the research process can help cope with the ever increasing amount of information, e.g., text mining to identify relevant research publications.
6. Visualize it
Use of visualization and info-graphics will increase
7. Researchers as data managers
With data at the heart of their activities, researchers will have to be more involved in its management and curation

Nick, Please read the comments on teh EDI article, let's have a real artcle on the merits and results of that (with student and anon teacher input). Sort of depressing we have 5 teachers just for evaluating, not teaching :( Google, I do appreciate your donations. Maybe the next one can be a chef and some healthy local food for school lunches.

The "best EDI teachers" have nothing to do with being a good teacher. It would be fun to watch one of these glorified flash-in-the-pan EDI teacher give the more experienced teacher advice on how to teach.

We should terminate politically correct Craig Goldman, superintendent of the Mountain View Whisman School District and find someone with real down-to-earth teaching ideas.

While recapping the Nuggets loss to the Suns last week – a game I attended in person – I watched several injured Nuggets duke it out against the Suns while Nuggets superstar small forward Carmelo Anthony sat out his sixth consecutive game as the result of an ankle sprain, even though both he and his head coach had indicated that Melo would likely play before tipoff. In fact, the Suns game was the third game in a row before which Melo and his coach indicated he would probably play, but didn't.
During and after that game a number of fans, me included, were grumbling about Melo's absence. I mean, he said he would probably play. His coach said he would probably play. And here the team's other and much older superstar, Chauncey Billups, was playing on a bad ankle himself. And thus, we started discussing Melo's absence altogether with questions like: "Is he not playing because he's only 80% and doesn't want his scoring average going down?" "Does he think by playing it will hurt his MVP chances?" "Is he just saving himself for the marquee games coming up, including the All-Star Game?" In sum, we were questioning Melo's toughness. That's what fans do.
In my recap of that game, I attempted to capture the tone among the fans from the game and openly questioned Melo's toughness, complete with a clearly written caveat that I'm not in the Nuggets locker room, don't talk to the training staff and it's not my body being questioned.
In response, a number of my most loyal readers all but revolted against me. In the comments, one reader said I was "speculating, not reporting." Another said "this is irresponsible journalism." And another called my questioning of Melo's toughness "an unsupported, frivolous claim."
And you know what? They were all 100% correct.
The only catch is, I'm not journalist, don't pretend to be and don't really want to be. And this brings me to what I refer to as the "Blogger's Dilemma."
With more and more sports bloggers – or fans-as-columnists, if you will – being granted access to their favorite teams in the form of one-time press passes, season-long credentials and exclusive interviews (like the one I conducted with Nuggets head coach George Karl), the lines are blurring between what it means to be a blogger versus what it means to be a journalist. And I'm concerned that our attempt to become journalists compromises our ability to be good bloggers. That's the Blogger's Dilemma, and I suspect every writer and editor at SB Nation is wrestling with this right now as I am.
As a fan, I can question Carmelo Anthony's toughness if I feel the signs add up saying so. As a journalist, I can only question Melo's toughness if I know for a fact that he's able to play, but is electing not to by confirming the story with multiple sources close to the team or in that locker room.
The catch with access, of course, is that you have to be fair and balanced (and not the Fox News version of "fair and balanced") at all times, which often comes across as being soft and lacking a firm point of view. And it's that perceived softness – fair or not – from many of our nation's sports journalists is what turned fans in droves towards sports blogs in the first place. What makes sites like Denver Stiffs immensely popular is that we have no filter, no reservations and can make bold proclamations from our cheap seats view (actually, if you knew how much I pay for Nuggets season tickets, they're anything but cheap). In the very recent past, our success or failure didn't depend on our access, but rather our point of view and ability to articulate that point of view in a refreshing, entertaining and, perhaps most importantly, relatable fashion. After all, when was the last time your local tenured sports journalist purchased a game ticket?
Well aware of this Blogger's Dilemma, in November of last year SB Nation founder and editor-in-chief Tyler Bleszinski sent around a group email to all the SB Nation community editors with the subject line stating: "What would you like me to call you?" The gist of Tyler's email was that we should no longer label ourselves as "bloggers," as that moniker has a negative connotation with regards to getting press credentials from teams and leagues, but instead we should label ourselves as "editors" or "writers." From a strategic standpoint, I'm in agreement with Tyler here, although I'm not convinced that being labeled a blogger, again really a fan-as-columnist, is such a bad thing. And thus it was at that point I decided not to call myself "writer" nor "editor" nor "blogger," but instead have opted for "fan advocate". Because at the end of the day, that's what many of us are. We advocate on behalf of the average sports fan whose hard-earned money should be returned with an earnest effort on the hardwood, field, diamond, rink, inside the locker room and coaches' quarters and all the way up to the owner's office. Lest we forget that without our dollars and support, there are no multimillion dollar sports franchises.
(On a side note, when Denver Stiffs recently got some ink in the Denver Post and I was referred to – as always – as a "blogger", I wrote the columnist requesting I be labeled as a "fan advocate" in the future. He emailed me back with a tongue-in-cheek response: "You can be a 'fan advocate' if I can be a 'truth seeker'". Touché, I suppose.)
In hindsight, the way I went about questioning Melo's injury in my game recap last week was inarticulate at best (borrowing a page from President Obama's "cover your ass" playbook) and somewhat irresponsible at worst. With a sensitive topic like a player's health being involved, I shouldn't have posed an argument but rather a question that left the issue of Melo's toughness open for the readers to debate, just as the fans at Pepsi Center were debating it. But even if I really believed that Melo was sitting out games to keep his scoring title in-tact, shouldn't I have been able to say so? Or have we at SB Nation and elsewhere in the sports blogosphere crossed the line into real journalism so much that questioning a player's toughness is no longer on the table unless we have hard facts to back it up?
I've always looked at writing Denver Stiffs and engaging with our amazingly passionate community like a conversation/debate you have at a sports bar with your friends and fellow fans. I've never pretended to be a deliverer of facts or breaking news.
The problem, however (and it's a good problem to have, frankly), is that like many of my colleagues at SB Nation I'm looked upon by my community to deliver information in addition to opining on it. In other words, I'm hardly a normal fan. A normal fan doesn't get asked his opinion on local sports talk radio with regularity. A normal fan doesn't get to have an exclusive interview with the head coach he once wanted fired. A normal fan doesn't get to schmooze with team executives and the mainstream media guys who cover the team after games. You know, like actual journalists do. Heck, most normal fans aren't even season ticket holders (unfortunately due to professional teams pricing true fans out of their arenas), which grants you an additional morsel of respect with the organization because you can always say to a player, coach or team executive: "Hey, give me five minutes…I pay your salary." (And make no mistake about it, I've said that many times and it never gets old!)
The Blogger's Dilemma has been on my mind all season as I've been trying to get Denver Stiffs credentialed since training camp. You'd think that a site representing over a full Pepsi Center's worth of Nuggets fans that gets an uncountable number of page views a month would get a seat at the press table for one of the more under-covered teams in the NBA. You'd think. But the Nuggets have been stingy about handing them over and perhaps with some justification given that I still brand players, coaches and executives as "Stiffs" when they don't do their jobs. Jobs my readers and I help pay for.
Which begs the question: are credentials even worth it if sports bloggers have to soften our stances in order to procure them? I for one certainly won't sellout my site's principles just to get a press badge and be another mouthpiece for my favorite team.
After all, I'm not a journalist. I'm a fan advocate.

The Spain-Florida Foundation 500 Years brought together leading Latin American legal experts, diplomats and the former heads of government of Uruguay, Spain and El Salvador to discuss the impact and legacy of the Constitution of Cadiz. The two-day conference, hosted by the FIU College of Law, was titled "Homage to the Bicentenary of the 1812 Cadiz Constitution" and started on Oct. 18, 2012.
Matthew C. Mirow, Associate Dean of International & Graduate Studies and Professor of Law, served as a panelists on a discussion on the historical aspects of the Constitution of Cadiz. In his presentation, Mirow addressed the promulgation of the Constitution of Cadiz in Florida.
"This Constitution governed Spanish Florida from 1812 to 1815 and then again from 1820 until 1821 when Spain turned Florida over to the United States," said Mirow. "Daily political life in Florida's Spanish colonial cities was governed by this document, and cities like St. Augustine ordered their activities around the requirements, rights, and duties expressed in this Constitution."
The basis for this talk has just been published by Mirow in 24 Florida Journal of International Law 1-60 (2012).

The Best Baked Treats in Toronto
Narrowing down Toronto's best baked treats is hard. I mean, really hard. I doubt there's a neighbourhood in this city that doesn't have something delicious to offer. Buttery croissants, crumbly scones, chewy brownies, gooey danishes - there's no shortage of sweet treats out there.
Salivating already? The list below is just a starting point to discover Toronto's best cakes, cookies and pies - oh my!
The Queen of Tarts reigns supreme on this list, and with good reason. Walking into their little Roncesvalles shop, you're instantly met with a display case of tarts so delicious looking that you'll want to just gather them all into your arms and run away (their Mexican Chocolate tart is their most popular, but I'm a personal fan of the Peppermint Patty). They're also known for their pop-culture inspired gingerbread cookies (if you thought Jon Stewart was yummy before, wait till you see him in cookie form).
Below is the rest of Toronto's top places for baked treats. As you can see, these spots are (relatively) spread out - so regardless of where you live, I'd suggest that any of these are worth the trip.
Is your favourite spot missing? Perhaps you can find it in our list of the Best Bread in Toronto
The best in buttery croissants -- but get there early, especially on Saturdays, or you may be out of luck. More »
Athens Pastries
Sweet and savoury Greek pastries -- and even the option to buy fresh phyllo, if you're feeling ambitious and want to bake your own. More »
Pain Perdu
The Toronto Star has three times named them Best Croissant, but don't miss out on their other breads and pastries, and of course, their actual pain perdu (french toast.) More »
Patisserie La Cigogne
This may be the closest you'll ever come to that fantasy of eating croissants on a terrace in Paris. French pastry chef Thierry Schmitt's makes treats that will truly take you away. More »
Kensington Natural Bakery
An absolute haven for those who can't (or choose not to) eat dairy, wheat, gluten, peanuts, etc. Try their surprisingly good no-sugar no-dairy cookies. More »
A bit expensive, but worth it. For a rare French treat, try the gateau basque -- a loaf of shortbread filled with anise-flavoured custard. More »
You can't go wrong with Frangipane; they specialize in both pastries and chocolates. Throw in a nice selection of petit fours, and you've got yourself a pretty perfect store. More »
Jules Cafe Patisserie
This Mt Pleasant shop makes a fantastic pain au chocolait (chocolate croissant, for the rest of us.) More »
Venezia Bakery
It's lucky Venezia has two locations along Ossington (one at Dundas, and one at Dupont) - that way if you accidentally eat all your amazing Portuguese custard tarts on the way home, you can pick up more. More »
Brazil Bakery
Another great spot for Portuguese custard tarts, plus malasadas dois (big, lemony Portuguese donuts). More »
Mary MacLeod's Shortbread
You know what they say -- do one thing and do it well. You won't find anything but shortbread here, but the flavours (like vanilla walnut and chocolate crunch) keep it interesting. Limited hours outside the holiday season. More »

I want Carsten's Saturday afternoon.
queen of tarts needs improvement!! congrats for being around for 10 years but i bought several items from them and found them to be tasteless-specifically there lemon tart, perhaps not there best dessert. maybe they are "known" for something else?; they also have weird/limited open hours. Dufflet pastry is ok to, i find alot of there dessert taste like 'sugar/sweet' as opposed to having any flavour, ex. chocolate,lemon.

BioSyntrx Macula Complete - 180 Capsules
BioSyntrx Macula Complete is a high-energy premium broad-spectrum dietary supplement of vitamins, minerals and antioxidant phytochemicals designed to support optimal body and retinal function. The nutrient levels in BioSyntrx Macula Complete do not exceed the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) safe upper limits for long-term daily consumption. BioSyntrx Macula Complete is also designed to address mitochondria function, including energy production. BioSyntrx Macula Complete includes efficacious amounts of acetyl-l-carnitine, CoQ10 and lipoic acid.When you take BioSyntrx Macula Complete you do not need additional multiple vitamin supplements. BioSyntrx Macula Complete is made in the U.S.A in a NSF GMP registered facility. BioSyntrx Macula Complete is properly balanced with a full-spectrum of minerals, including zinc, copper and manganese, which are all three required to produce manganese super-oxide dismutase (Mn SOD), which is necessary to neutralize singlet oxygen and the super-oxide free-radicals suggested to contribute to vascular disease and degenerative diseases of the eyes, including macula degeneration. This issue is not adequately addressed in products that only include the ingredients in the ARED study formulation. BioSyntrx Macula Complete also includes the minerals associated with blood sugar control, chromium and vanadium.Macula Complete includes the nutrients used the three major studies on nutrition as it relates to eye health.
The nutrients included in these studies inhibited AMD disease progression in the study participants. We also added efficacious amounts of Alpha Lipoic Acid, CoQ10, and Acetyl-L-Carnitine, which have been suggested in peer-reviewed studies to support the mitochondria, as well as to support production of cellular (ATP) energy.
Macula Complete is an appropriate supplement for those AMD patients who have or those who have or continue to smoke since it does not include beta carotene a source of Vitamin A. The AREDS formulation includes 25,000 IUs of beta carotene; the amount has been linked to increased risk of lung cancer in those who smoke and beta carotene interferes with lutein and zeaxanthin absorption, which is vital for optimal pigment. The preformed vitamin A in Macula Complete is retinyl palmitate, which provides adequate vitamin A for night vision, wound healing, immune protection and appropriate cellular differentiation. The full-spectrum of B vitamins in Macula Complete are included to help prevent DNA damage and inapropriate gene transcription, and to control blood levels of homocysteine, which has been suggested in published studies to increase the risk of dry AMD becoming wet. The Vitamin C included in Macula Complete is a balanced combination of water soluble ascorbic acid and fat soluble ascorbal palmitate to insure continuous circulating vitamin C. Vitamin E is presented in Macula Complete as 30 IU of d-alpha tocopherol primarily from mixed tocopherols, as well as 30 mg of Vitamin E tocotrienols to balance alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherols and tocotrienols. The plant-based nutrients included in Macula Complete include Ginkgo biloba, grape seed extract, quercetin, hesperidin, rutin, bilberry, trans-resveratrol and green tea. These nutrients have been suggested in peer-reviewed scientific literature to address vascular related inflammatory diseases of the entire body and the retina, including glaucoma, cataract and diabetic retinopathy. Potent Macula and Full Body Protection
Age Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a degenerative condition of the macula (the central retina). It is the most common cause of vision loss in Americans age 50 and older, particularly in blue-eyed, post-menopausal females. Its prevalence increases with age. AMD is caused by arterial damage, which decreases blood flow into the capillaries that nourish the retina and macula and deprives the sensitive retinal tissue of oxygen and nutrients it needs to function and thrive. As a result the central vision deteriorates. The macula is located at the center of the retina. The retina sends light from the eye to the brain, and the macula allows you to see fine detail.
Macular degeneration varies widely in severity. In the worst cases, ARMD causes a complete loss of central vision, making reading or driving impossible. For others, it may cause only slight distortion. Fortunately, macular degeneration does not cause total blindness since it does not affect the peripheral vision. Macular degeneration is classified as either wet (neovascular) or dry (non-neovascular). About 10% of people who suffer from macular degeneration have wet AMD. This type occurs when new vessels form to improve the blood supply to oxygen-deprived retinal tissue. However, the new vessels are very delicate and break easily, causing bleeding and damage to surrounding tissue.
People with wet macular degeneration develop new blood vessels under the retina. This causes hemorrhage, swelling, and scar tissue. The more common form of AMD, dry macular degeneration, results in less severe, more gradual loss of vision. Macular degeneration may be caused by a variety of factors. Genetics, age, nutrition, smoking and sunlight exposure all play a role.
Several peer-reviewed studies have shown a strong link between nutrition and the development of macular degeneration. It has been scientifically demonstrated that people with diets high in fruits and vegetables (especially dark green leafy vegetables and berries) have a lower incidence of macular degeneration. The almost seven year Age Related Eye Disease (ARED) study conducted by The National Eye Institute demonstrated a 25% decrease in the progression of diagnosed macular degeneration in those people who supplemented their diets with specific minerals and antioxidants.
Macula Complete Frequently Asked Questions
What is the source of lutein in Oculair and Macula Complete?The lutein we include in Macula Complete and Oculair (FloraGLO) is the best available. It is 20% crystalline liquid suspended in corn oil, which is purified from marigold petal extract using a very special patented process. This type of lutein is far more bioavailable than the 5% dry form used by most multiple manufacturers. Unlike lutein esters, this lutein is chemically identical to lutein found in spinach, kale, collard greens, and other green leafy vegetables in our diet. We take the extra time to run our powder multiple formulation through dryers (this allows us to use the 20% crystalline liquid) before encapsulating to ensure the best absorption rate for our customers.
Just what is the macula?The macula is the most sensitive area in the retina. It is located in the center of the back of the eye where images are focused by the lens system of the eye. Macula means spot, and since the macula is yellowish in color it is called the macula lutea. Lutea means yellow in Latin. Lutein, an important carotenoid antioxidant, is important in the treatment of macular degeneration. Lutein is found in high concentrations in both spinach and kale.
Why did my eye doctor suggest that I start with one half dose of Macula Complete for the first two weeks and then build up to the full dosage the second two weeks?Macula Complete is a concentrated super-potent multiple vitamin/minerar/antioxidant, which can produce an immediate detox effect in some people - these are usually the people who are the most nutrient deficient. It is important that you not discontinue taking Macula Complete if you get slight headaches or upset stomachs. Most people easily adjust to the formulation by starting with one or two capsules a day (always with food) and then slowly working up to the six-per-day full dosage.
Why does Macula Complete contain such expensive nutrients like acetyl-l-carnitine, CoQ10 and large amounts of lipoic acid? The other mucula formulations do not include these nutrients.All of these nutrients have specifically been shown to dramatically improve cellular mitochondria function in histopathologic studies. Improved mitochondria function provides beneficial effects in preventing and treating Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
Does excessive zinc supplementation increase the risk of prostate cancer?The July 2003 Journal of The National Cancer Institute reported that men who supplement with 100 mg of daily zinc are at twice the risk of advanced prostate cancer, as are men who supplement with amounts that excessively exceed the Institute of Medicine safe upper limits of zinc for more than 10 years. This data was collected from a 14 year follow-up survey of 46,974 health professionals. Biosyntrx multiples are designed for long-term use and include no more than 40-50 mg of zinc, as monomethinonine, which is properly balanced with the full-spectrum of minerals for optimal safety.
Is Macula Complete appropriate for smokers or former smokers?After lengthly study of both the ATBC and CARET beta carotene/lung cancer trials, the Biosyntrx Scientific advisors are confident that Oculair and Macula Complete are safe for smokers and former smokers. The research and design team carefully studied the beta-carotene trials from the mid 1990s before including a very small amount of beta-carotene in our multiple formulations to address specific issues of singlet oxygen formation and diseases of the eye. Biosyntrx multiples include less than one (1) mg beta-carotene, which is appropriately balanced with a complete host of carotenoids and other phytonutrient antioxidants, including 400 IUs of mixed tochpherol Vitamin E and 500 mg of Vitamin C, which are both vital to healthy lungs for all who smoke or have smoke damaged lungs.
Does Macula Complete Include Both Lutein and Zeaxanthin?Absolutely. Macula tissue preference for these two zanthophylls has been proven to our scientific advisors satisfaction. Macula Complete is the only full-spectrum multiple formulations available to the AMD patients that includes 10 mg of the highest concentrate FloraGlo Lutein, appropriately balanced with 4 mg of pure Zeaxanthin, which is the preferred carotenoid of the central macula. Biosyntrx does not make zeaxanthin label claims for the amount of zeaxanthin or meso-zeaxanthin that might be converted from supplemental lutein, as do most other companies.
What does the word "COMPLETE" mean in the name Macula Complete?The Macula Complete vitamin/mineral/antioxidant formula is designed to meet the needs of the delicate neurovascular structures in the central, most sensitive part of the retins. In addition to the specific vitamins, minerals and antioxidants needed for retinal health, Macula Complete contains effective amounts of the nutrients that are lacking in most other available products. In other words, when you take Macula Complete, you do not need to take any other multiple vitamin product. Remember, what's good for the eyes is good for the whole body.
I've been told that supplemental bilberry and Ginko biloba might increase the risk of retinal bleeding for patients with wet macular degeneration. Is this so?This is a great question and one that is ask by a number of AMD patients. It's important to understand that although both of these nutrients tend to slightly thin the blood, they also dramatically improve ocular microcirculation and protect the vascular endothelium, as well as inhibit collegen destruction and decrease capillary fragility. Retinal bleeds are normally caused by capillary fragility, not thin blood. Biosyntrx multiple formulations also include an antioxidant bioflavinoid complex that includes quercetin, rutin and hesperidin, which further strengthen the capillaries that feed the eye and the brain, as well as the fragile capillaries formed during subretinal neovascularization.
Should beta-carotene be used as the primary source of supplemental Vitamin A and does beta-carotene interfere with Lutein absorption?Not in the opinion of the Biosyntrx team. Pre-formed Vitamin A, or retinol, is absolutely essential for eye health, wound healing, and proper immune function. Beta-carotene, as pro-formed Vitamin A, only attempts to metabolically convert to retinol when and if the vitamin A cellular stores are retinol deficient. The beta-carotene/retinol conversion becomes more and more difficult with the aging process. Recent science suggests that beta-carotene converts to retinol at less that half the rate once published. Excessive amounts of supplemental hydrocarbon antioxidant carotenoids, which include beta-carotene, are also thought to compete for transport space with the carotenoid xanthophylls like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are particularly important to the prevention of degenerative disease of the macula.
Is Macula Complete safe for people who take blood thinners like Coumadin?Yes it is safe. However, we recommend that Coumadin patients have their clotting time checked on on a regular basis. Essential Fatty Acids, fish oil, vitamin E, bilberry, and Ginko biloba are all reported to slightly reduce clotting time - therefore, it may be necessary to slightly lower the amount of prescription Coumadin taken on a daily basis. We do not recommend patients ever reducing the amount of Coumadin they take without physician knowledge.
