Vision Advantage® gives you everything you need for total, lifelong eye health
Poor eye health doesn't have to be an inevitable part of aging. You absolutely can enjoy clear, sharp vision no matter how old you are. I've met people in India and China in their 80s who have no sign of age-related eye struggles. I uncovered their secret and made it part of my Vision Advantage® supplement.
- Promotes clear, sharp vision
- Keeps your macula and lenses healthy
- Reduces free-radical stress in the eyes
- Reduces eyestrain and fatigue
- Gives you more confidence and freedom
- And so much more…
Vision Advantage combines ALL the nutrients your eyes need from around the world. You get thousands of years of ancient healing wisdom and the very best scientific advancements starting with the "King of Carotenoids"—astaxanthin.
Full 6 mg research dose of astaxanthin reduces eye strain and fatigue
Seems everyone is jumping on the astaxanthin bandwagon these days. Suddenly it's the "hot" antioxidant everyone is praising. I agree that astaxanthin is a powerful nutrient. That's why it's been a signature ingredient in my Vision Advantage formula—for years.
Astaxanthin comes from microalgae that are found in abundance from arctic marine environments to common fresh water rock pools throughout the world. It's what gives the pink and red color to salmon, shrimp, and lobster. Several double-blind, placebo studies have shown that a special form of astaxanthin reduces the symptoms of eyestrain and fatigue and improves dimness of sight.
Plus, studies show that astaxanthin promotes visual acuity. I've given you a full 6 mg of research level astaxanthin in each daily dose. But astaxanthin is just one of the many unique breakthroughs found in Vision Advantage.
The great Chinese herbal combination for sharp vision
In China, I discovered their best-kept secret for clear, keen vision—an ancient Chinese recipe called Hachimijiogan (pronounced ah-chi-mijo-jan) that's a precise blend of eight different herbs.
Research suggests this combination of herbs supports your eyes' lenses, nerves, and arteries. Specifically, it helps reduce free-radical stress on the optic nerve, promote electrolyte balance in your lenses, and support blood flow in the retinal artery.
The 5,000-year-old Indian secret for healthy eyes
In India, one of their favorite solutions for lifelong, healthy vision is a famous Ayurvedic herbal complex called Triphala, which means "three fruits." When combined, the health-boosting fruits support optimal eye health.
"Natural sunglasses" to filter out harmful ultraviolet rays
Lutein and zeaxanthin work together to shield your eyes from absorbing blue light, the most high-energy and potentially most damaging kind of light that reaches your retina. Plus, this powerful duo protects lens density and helps support the health of your macula.
A shield of antioxidants to safeguard your lenses
The biggest threat to your eyes is free-radical damage. In Vision Advantage, I've given you an arsenal of antioxidants, including N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC), which is most effective at increasing glutathione levels. This is critical because glutathione is nature's shield for your eyes and lenses, helping you protect your precious eyesight.
Nowhere else will you find supplements for eye health based on traditionally used vision breakthroughs from around the world and the latest scientific research and advances. Vision Advantage keeps your eyes healthy in every way possible.

Science and Quality
Lutein and Zeaxanthin
In the six year, Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), researchers found that supplementation with lutein, beta carotene, vitamins E and C, zinc and copper helped to reduce the risk of macular degeneration by 25% in people at high risk for developing advanced macular degeneration. Supplementation also helped to reduce the risk of vision loss.1
Another study published on lutein and eye health showed that 10 mg supplemented with or without other antioxidants supports visual function by increasing macula pigment density, and promotes visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and glare recovery time.2
A study examined subjects' tolerance to glare. After four months of taking 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin daily, glare tolerance greatly increased. By six months, the time needed for subjects' to see clearly again after viewing a bright glaring light significantly decreased.3
A combination of vitamin C (180 mg), vitamin E (45 IU), zinc (22.5 mg), copper (1 mg), lutein (10 mg), zeaxanthin (1 mg), and astaxanthin (4 mg) was tested in a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study. In the trial, subjects took the combination (or placebo) for one year. Researchers found that those taking the antioxidant supplement exhibited significant improvements in central vision.4
In a double-blind, placebo controlled trial, 59 subjects who regularly worked in front of computer monitors (VDTs) for at least 6 hours per day and complained of eye fatigue were randomly divided and given either 6 mg of astaxanthin or placebo for 4 weeks. At the end of the study, those taking the astaxanthin exhibited increased power of accommodation (how fast the eyes are able to switch focus from near to distant objects), and reduced symptoms of eye strain and fatigue, including "heavy head," "dimness of sight," and "stiff shoulders and back."5
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 26 healthy participants working in front of VDTs took 5 mg of astaxanthin (or placebo) for one month. At the end of the trial, those taking the supplement reported a 54% reduction in eye fatigue complaints. Their power of accommodation was also significantly improved.6
Vitamin A (as beta carotene)
Research suggests that a higher dietary intake of carotenoids is associated with healthy maintenance of macular tissue.7
Vitamin E
Epidemiological data suggests that higher intakes of vitamin E, including that from supplements, may help promote the health of the eye lenses.8
Vitamin C
Observational studies (studies in which researchers observe the participants to try to identify lifestyle factors associated with better health) tell us that people who regularly use vitamin C supplements are less likely to develop eye conditions associated with oxidative stress.9

Whipple's disease is a rare infectious disease.
Whipple's disease is caused by a specific type of bacteria. It causes abnormal changes on the wall of the small intestine. These changes disrupt the villi. Villi are tiny, finger-like structures that stick out from the wall of the intestine to help absorb nutrients. As a result, some nutrients are not absorbed properly and do not reach the rest of the body.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
There is no evidence that Whipple's disease is passed from person to person. But, there is some evidence that the bacteria may be present in people who are healthy. This suggests that the few people who develop the disease may have an abnormal response to the bacteria. Some people with Whipple's disease may have a genetic defect that makes them more likely to develop the disease. Whipple's disease occurs mainly in middle-aged men.
This disease can affect many parts of the body. The small intestine is the main organ affected. Symptoms usually begin slowly and occur in stages. The first stage includes:
The disease is usually not diagnosed until several years later when additional symptoms may develop. These include:
If the disease is not treated, this second stage may last for a number of years. Then, more severe symptoms may occur due to the lack of nutrients reaching different parts of the body. Symptoms may occur in any part of the body, but most likely the heart, nervous system, brain, lungs, eyes, or skin. If the disease still is not treated, it usually causes death in this third stage.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Taking antibiotics can cure Whipple's disease. Often, a combination of antibiotics is used. These drugs kill the bacteria that cause the disease. Your doctor will work with you to find the best types and doses for you. Antibiotics may be given orally or by IV.
If you have a more severe case of Whipple's disease, you may also need intravenous antibiotics, fluid, and electrolyte replacement when you begin treatment. Electrolytes are salts and other substances in your body fluid that your heart and brain need to work properly. You may also need to take supplements of certain vitamins and minerals that your body is not absorbing normally on its own. These may include:
Symptoms usually go away after a few weeks to a few months on antibiotics. Your doctor may check your progress with the PCR test to see if any of the disease-causing bacteria are left. However, you will still need to take antibiotics for 1-2 years to prevent the disease from returning.
There are no current guidelines to prevent Whipple's disease.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - September has been "Putting Kids 1st" month, an effort to help raise money for hungry kids in Mesa County.
People have been asked to brown bag their lunch on Thursday, September 27th, and save the money they would have spent to give to Kids Aid, the backpack program, and The House - a place for homeless teens.
MBC Grand Broadcasting radio stations have been working hard on spreading the word about the brown bag initiative.
"The generosity in this community just blows my mind everytime we do something," said Wendy Likes, promotions director for MBC Grand Broadcasting. "We're really thankful that we've been able to stand behind this and put the kids first, and hopefully the rest of the community is going to as well."
For those unable to pack a lunch, multiple restaurants have joined alongside the program to offer "Brown Bag Specials". The funds from their specials willb edonated to the program.
Qdoba, Papa Kelsey's, Kannah Creek Brewing Company, Papa John's Pizza, Applebee's, and Wraps on Main are all participating in Thursday's outreach.
To conclude the month-long initiative, a radio-thon will be held at the Rimrock Walmart on Saturday, September 29th, from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM. Businesses and restaurants will present their checks to "Putting Kids 1st"

Performance and Hospitality Rider Corporate and Promotional Events
The 501st Legion (hereafter referred to as "the Legion", "the 501st", and "Vader's Fist") is a Star Wars fan club dedicated to celebrating the Star Wars® universe through costuming; specifically the costumes and characters of the Stormtrooper and other Imperial forces, as well as non-affiliated villains and denizens. The Legion is an all-volunteer organization formed for the express purpose of bringing together costume enthusiasts under a collective identity within which to operate. The Legion seeks to promote interest in Star Wars through the building and wearing of quality costumes, and to facilitate the use of these costumes for Star Wars-related events as well as contributions to the local community through costumed charity and volunteer work.
The Legion recognizes it holds no claim over the costumes and characters it portrays, and that their use is a privilege extended by Lucasfilm Ltd. (LFL). The members of the Legion acknowledge and accept that while in costume, we represent the Star Wars brand and will do so professionally and responsibly at all times.
The Venue, Sponsor (hereafter referred to as "the Sponsor") is the event coordinator, sponsor, venue, or other entity, organization, company or individual requesting an appearance by members of the Legion.
The Sponsor understands and acknowledges that the Legion is an entirely all volunteer organization and as such makes no guarantee of their ability to provide specific character types, and character quantities.
The majority of the Legion membership are not SAG or Equity members or Extras. Radical changes in call times, daytime rehearsals, etc., all put extra stress on Legion members. Legion members are volunteer performers and shouldn't be asked to stage extensive scenes or other heavily choreographed action.
Depending on various conditions, 30 to 45 minutes is the maximum amount of time a trooper-or any other helmeted or masked character-should go without a break. While it is possible a helmeted/masked character can go longer than this period of time, provisions should be made in scheduling to allow characters to take breaks during an appearance longer than 30 minutes. Breaks normally consist of the masked character being able to go somewhere out of sight (in order to remove their helmet/mask, drink water and/or take a "quick breather"). "Open faced" costumes, such as Imperial Officers, Death Star Troopers and technicians can be available for longer periods. For larger/longer events, a 2 hour shift (with breaks interspersed every 30 minutes) is pretty much the maximum a fully enclosed character can handle without a substantial break.
Corporate and Promotional Event Definition
A corporate or promotional event is any event sponsored by a corporate, advertising, promotions or marketing firm for the purpose of promoting a product, sale, media release. Examples include: Book Launches, Product Launches, Movie Premiers, Television, Radio or Internet based series season kick-offs, or other media events such as concerts, television shows and games shows.
It should be noted that the Legion does not participate in political or protest events.
Typically the product or event must have some relationship to the Star Wars franchise and may require permission and sanction by Lucasfilm Ltd. If the Legion has any question of the validity of the product or event the Legion reserves the right to contact Lucasfilm Ltd. Regarding the event.
Legion members will be happy to sign nondisclosure agreements upon request. Please provide a copy of the agreement to the Legion and the local event coordinator for review a minimum of one week prior to the event.
Charity Event Requirements may be found here http://www.501st.com/databank/CharityEventRider
Private Event Requirements may be found here http://www.501st.com/databank/PrivateEventRider
Character Compensation
While the Legion and its members do not accept appearance fees, a donation in the name of the 501st Legion to a reputable charity commiserate with the number of troopers requested and the duration of the event is greatly appreciated. The sponsor is encouraged to pick a charity they are familiar with or the Legion can suggest a charity that may fit the event. For a list of charities the Legion has worked with in the past or to make donations, please vistit our page at Razzoo.com
Minimum Requirements:
If the Sponsor is not local to the event, i.e. a national store chain or marketing or promotional agency, the Sponsor shall provide a local contact with sufficient authority to be contacted by the local Legion Garrison Command Staff or Garrison Event Coordinator not less than two weeks prior to the event. The legion may request a longer lead time and contact information earlier for large venue events especially if more than 12 troopers are requested by the Sponsor.
The Sponsor shall provide at a minimum free parking, secure changing facilities and bottled water for Legion participants including costumed characters and handlers.
It is recommended that a minimum "performance area" be set aside for indoor promotional events of approximately 15 square feet per character, while this area need not be rigidly maintained adequate space is required for helmeted and caped characters (Stormtroopers, Clonetroopers, Darth Vader, etc) to provide a safe environment for both the Legion members and the general public. The area of visibility while in helmets is limited.
Example: Book Stores - a clear area typically used for reading and book signings is usually adequate. Walking the aisles and book stacks is not.
Legion Support Personnel
Many of the costumes provided by the Legion membership have limited visibility and freedom of movement. As such it is common for the Legion to bring support personnel or 'handlers' to events. The handlers assist the costumed characters in dressing prior to the event and act as extra eyes and ears for the costumed characters. Our handlers are typically Legion members, family members, or potential new members who are working on achieving membership in the Legion.
Often the handlers will be additional costumed characters without helmets such as Imperial Officers Imperial Crew or they may be dressed in a Legion or Garrison shirt and jeans or slacks. Please advise the local event coordinator of the level of formality of your event so the Legion handlers may dress appropriately. Costumed characters that typically require handlers are any helmeted or masked costume such as Darth Vader, Stormtroopers or any other costume involving a helmet or full face mask. The local Legion event coordinator will discuss the number of handlers they feel are appropriate for your event.
While handlers are there for the safety and security of the costumed characters the Sponsor is ultimately responsible for the security of the event.
Venue Relations:
The Sponsor is responsible for notifying and coordinating the event with local venue management, ownership and security.
|Note in some commercial, common use and civil properties, i.e. malls, the venues or local jurisdictions forbid the wearing of masks or carrying of replica weapons in public. The appearance of costumed characters and the policy of the venue or local jurisdiction regarding prop weapons must be clarified and cleared by the sponsor not less than one week prior to the event.
The Sponsor agrees to allow full access to the performance venue and pre-performance facilities to the Legion members acting as costumed characters or handlers a minimum of one hour prior to the event. This requirement may be adjusted depending on the scope and scale of the event and a agreed upon by the Sponsor and the local Legion event coordinator.
Autographs and Photographs:
Autographs are often requested of the Legion members. It is the policy of the Legion to grant these requests. Members typically sign in a manor consistent with their character for example; TK-#### Storm Trooper or Darth Vader – SL-####. We cannot and will not require the purchase of an item to sign in order to grant an autograph. Items may be available, such as books, frames, etc. however the Sponsor agrees not to require the purchase of any item, coupon, ticket or token in order to obtain an autograph or photograph with a costumed character. Likewise the sponsor, if a charity agrees not to require a donation in order to receive an autograph or take a photograph with a costumed character.
Travel and Expenses:
If the event is a multi-garrison event or requires Legion Members to travel in excess of 50 miles the Sponsor may be asked to compensate the participating membership for travel expenses including but not limited to fuel, meals, lodging. The Sponsor may elect to provide travel, lodging and meals directly if they so choose.
|Note: Traveling with armor creates many challenges, additional baggage fees or insured express shipping may be required to deliver costumes to and from the event location if the member is traveling by air.
Required Amenities:
- A Changing Facility
- Access to restroom facilities
- Bottled Water
- Meal and snacks if the event is scheduled to run more than four hours.
- Donation commiserate with the number of troopers and duration of the event in the name of the 501st Legion to a reputable charity.
Requested amenities:
- Clear clean tables in the changing facility
- Chairs / Barstools
In general a good rule of thumb would be one (1) 2' x 6' or 2' x 8' table with chairs for every 3 to 4 characters. Due to restricted mobility, most armored characters cannot sit down in their costumes. "Bar stools" are an excellent seat for Stormtroopers if they are available.
Nice Touches:
- Snacks or meals if the event is scheduled for more than two hours.
- Event tickets or passes (musical, theatrical, film or exhibit events)
- Access to non-public restroom facilities

Ok, so I have a VERY interesting product to share with y'all today...it's called X-Four. I discovered it last week while in Vancouver, BC...and I don't know what to make of it, but I sure do like it...here we go...
I am VERY tempted to put this booze in the Int'l Whiskey section, despite the fact that it is marketed as VODKA.... and here's why.
X-Four is a handcrafted, microdistillery product, hand bottled in Okanagan, British Columbia. That is pretty straight forward, but here's where it gets weird....they call it a "handcrafted vodka distilled 4 times," BUT, when you read it closer it states that it is made from CORN, RYE and Glacier Fed Water.......SO, it is distilled 4 times, but all the grain used is whiskey grain...which means that it's actually just 80 proof white dog whiskey, right?!!?
Whatever the case may be, it's freaking delicious. It does have a somewhat medicinal alcohol burn to the nose, but there's a strong hint of rye and licorice/anise. It drinks smoothly, and tastes of charred cereal, anise and a hint of rye as well, finishing clean. with a pleasant residual coat on the tongue. The locals at the fancy liquor store told me to drink it straight or on the rocks...and I can't complain.
Has anyone else ever seen this stuff? I've provided a picture....I may repost this elsewhere, since it's such an oddity....but if you can track it down, you should!

While Barry Sanders wasn't criticized for missing voluntary workouts back in the day, Ndamukong Suh has been blasted by the Lions fan base. (Daniel Mears / Detroit News)
Retired Lions players Herman Moore and Lomas Brown have been through the turmoil of a high-profile teammate refusing to attend voluntary mini-camp and practices.
The difference is people accepted Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders skipping camp. Most do not accept current Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh doing the same thing.
While Sanders skipped practices with the blessings of his head coach and the organization in the 1990s, Suh is making national headlines and does not have the same support from teammates and the franchise.
Here is the difference. Teammates and the public loved Sanders. The same cannot be said about Suh, who is a polarizing figure. Some guys in the dressing room like him. Others do not. Suh has forced the fan base to become hypocrites. The same fan based that defended Sanders is the same one attacking Suh.
I wrote columns criticizing Sanders for missing mini-camp. People told me to leave Barry alone. I made the same arguments against Sanders that you criticize Suh for. He was a high-profile player in the dressing room that teammates looked up to and asked to lead more.
He did not.
Brown said Lions players are breaking an unwritten rule of brotherhood. He believes some of this drama surrounding Suh has to do with money. Suh is either bucking to make big money here or somewhere else.
Suh also appears to be a guy that wants out. That does not set well with Detroiters.
�I think it is overblown, to be honest with you,� Brown said. �I don�t think he�s got a whole bunch of guys advocating for him in that locker room. That seems to be one of the biggest differences with him. They shouldn�t be mad. There is an unwritten rule that you don�t get in the way of a man and his money. When it is time for him to get his money, you are supposed to understand that.
�Players need to understand all the things they (an organization) can do to you. Guys are supposed to understand that is an unwritten rule. That�s all.�
Moore, meanwhile, said teammates left Sanders alone because they believed in him. There was no controversy and players didn�t talk much about it.
�We always knew Barry would come in prepared,� Moore said. �We knew it was voluntary and we took it as much.�
Sanders was an unassuming player that was likeable in the dressing room. He rarely ruffled feathers until he walked out on the team after 10 years. He supported teammates and became angry when he believed some of his guys were getting jerked around by management during contract talks.
That earned trust and support. Would Suh ever do the same? I doubt it.
I do come with advice for Suh. If he wants to stay here, he must reach out and win over his dressing room. I�ve run into a couple guys this summer and they did not have a lot of nice things to say about him. And both only asked for one thing: They want him to drop the �me� talk and turn it into �we� when all of the guys are in the privacy of the dressing room. Suh must meet with guys and ask how he can become a better teammate.
If he does that and made it clear he wants to be here, then he has a chance. Right now, he is a distraction.
What's the difference?
Many in the public screamed to trade Suh after he skipped voluntary workouts. Some fans view it as a slap in the face to new coach Jim Caldwell and his staff.
That is going overboard, but I will admit I do not understand the man. A few days after missing the second set of voluntary workouts, he showed up at the practice facility and met with coaches. So maybe it is a sign he wants to work things out here, or maybe he simply wants to do it on his time.
�I understand (why people are upset),� Moore said. �But this is voluntary and not mandatory. It is what it is. There is an unwritten word that you should be there. I believe football players should be there if they are able to. I tried to make it as often as I could, but at the same time I am not going to criticize a guy if he is not going to come.
�He has that right.�
Suh has the right just as Sanders did back in the day. The message is entirely different from the public. Back then, the people said leave Barry alone. Today, the mob wants Suh�s head on a platter.

In politics, unlike love, its often better to have never run at all than to have run and lost. But thats not always the case.
Congressman Steve King acknowledged Monday there might be a political cost for him to publicly think about a U.S. Senate campaign if he ultimately decides not to run.
King, speaking to reporters in Des Moines, said the chances are a little more than 50-50 that hell seek the GOP nomination for the seat to be vacated by Sen. Tom Harkin in 2014. He said he will undertake intensive analysis of polling and other data this week and meet soon with his top campaign officials.
He said Monday hes trying to move toward a decision soon in fairness to other Republicans who may want to run either for the Senate or Kings 4th District congressional seat. Thats a change from a month ago, when King said he wouldnt rush into a decision.
King has considered challenging Harkin in the past and also had discussed the possibility of running for governor. He was asked Monday if there could be a down side to staying on the sidelines.
Maybe, he said. Its hard to measure political capital. It comes and goes over a lot of things.
Political capital would seem like a small consideration compared to the possibility of running and losing. But the congressman, known for his blast-furnace rhetoric, is approaching the topic of a Senate run with asbestos gloves. On one hand, he projects confidence in his ability to appeal to voters statewide and raise the money necessary to win. On the other, he indicates his gut could override even favorable campaign prospects.
I have thrown a bid into the trash even though the numbers all look good, because my guts told me this isnt right, he said, relating the situation to his experience as an earthmoving contractor.
The gut-check option is a wise hedge for preserving some of that political capital. It gives King an excuse other than lousy prospects of winning the general election for staying out of the race.
King was also carefully deferential to other well-known Republicans who may be interested in a Senate run. He met with Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds last week in Washington, but he declined to speak in detail about their discussion as it relates to 2014. Reynolds and Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey have both indicated they would consider running for Senate.
Statewide polling and conventional wisdom suggest King would have an advantage in a Republican primary. Some prominent Republicans think Reynolds or Northey would have far better odds of winning the general election, however.
Kings hinting strongly that he hopes the three of them can avoid a primary. You couldnt ask for a better scenario of people who are friends, have mutual respect for each other and can come to a point where I think we can all together make the best decision as to what to offer Iowans from the Republican Party, he said.
I doubt some factions of the GOP would agree its in their best interest to have the Senate nomination orchestrated from the top, however. A couple of potential candidates from the religious conservative wing of the GOP have indicated they might run if King doesnt. Even if King doesnt overtly back one of his good friends in the establishment, he wont win many friends from his ideological base by remaining neutral.
Philosopher Bertrand Russell was an advocate of the no guts, no glory theory in matters of the heart: Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness. On the other hand, we have Benjamin Franklin: Distrust and caution are the parents of security.
For King, theres far greater risk that hell end his political career by overreaching than harm it by staying put. But he notes this opportunity may never come along again. Ive never wanted to be the guy who looked back and said woulda coulda shoulda, as well, King said.
Regret is a heavy price for a risk not taken. Well soon know whether King is willing to pay it.

Jack Morris has just one year of eligibility remaining to be voted into the Hall of Fame by the writers. It is unlikely they will do so. (Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Considering Sparky Anderson's plaque was hoisted in 2000 at Cooperstown, N.Y., the 1984 world champion Tigers haven't thrown a complete shutout in cracking baseball's Hall of Fame.
But it's a curiosity unique to those skilled Tigers teams of the 1980s that Anderson, a manager, has been enshrined while none of his players has measured up.
Wednesday's tallies made it one more year in which Jack Morris and Alan Trammell failed to get the minimum 75 percent of votes necessary for Hall of Fame entry. Lou Whitaker missed a decade ago in getting even five percent of the vote required to earn another look from members of the Baseball Writers Association of America who handle each year's Hall of Fame vote.
Lance Parrish. Darrell Evans. Kirk Gibson. Willie Hernandez. Neither did they, in past years, get a serious look from voters who, at various times over the decades, have elected Ralph Kiner, Jim Rice, and Bruce Sutter.
"I don't know, I honestly just don't know," Parrish, the towering Tigers catcher from the team's 1980s heyday, was saying Wednesday, speaking about the Tigers as much as about an election that saw nobody win induction for 2013.
"As far as our guys, I think Jack should be in, and Tram should be in, and I think Lou should be given a lot more consideration, just to name three guys off the top of my head. If they're not in, they should be very near the top. And, personally, I think Jack should be in right now."
On the borderline
Speaking from southern California, where he was traveling with his wife, Arlyne, Parrish was as confused as some of his old teammates as to why the '84 Tigers have been that rare championship team minus a Hall of Fame player.
"When you look at those years, we had some good seasons, but we won only one world championship," Parrish said of the 1980s, when the Tigers led all of baseball in victories. "We had some good players, but probably nobody on our team would you automatically say: 'He's a definite Hall of Famer.'
"We have a lot of borderline guys who, depending upon the mood of the voters, might yet have a chance. But I still believe Jack should be in the Hall of Fame. I saw how he stacked up against the best pitchers in the game, and that's Hall of Fame stuff."
There were no disagreements from Tom Brookens and Dan Petry. Nor was there any deep outrage from players who, like Parrish, agree the 1984 world champions were the embodiment of a talented, cohesive gang that featured a balance of blue-chip performers more than it flaunted superstars.
"I don't know if I have an answer as to why Tigers players don't seem to warrant Hall of Fame votes," said Brookens, who played third base on Anderson's '80s teams and who is now the team's third-base coach. "Maybe we were just a good team with a team concept and no one feels that there were any Hall of Fame players there.
"I certainly believe Jack and Tram both are worthy of Cooperstown, just as I understand it's truly an elite group of guys in the Hall, and it needs to stay that way. But, sometimes, I think it almost becomes too elite — that some guys who deserve to be there are passed on."
Just one title
Petry is in line with his Tigers brethren. He pitched in the same starting rotation as Morris. He won a championship ring. He was part of a nucleus that arrived from 1979-80 and stoked Detroit's '80s baseball bonfire.
He is mystified. But in playing the devil's advocate, Petry also can acknowledge the difficulty in crashing Cooperstown.
"It's such a good question," he said, "but the only thing that jumps out at me is: Did people expect the Tigers to win more championships, all because we had guys like Jack, Tram, and Lou, who played together for so long? Lance, you can put him in there, too, and make a case for him and the Hall."
ESPN was in its infancy during the 1980s. Games were not regularly televised even on the Tigers network. There was no Internet. Sabermetrics that today guide many voters were obscure and even mistrusted.
And yet it's intriguing, if not bewildering: How could teams so good for so long have failed to place at least one man in baseball's eternal shrine?
"I just don't understand it," Parrish said, in that familiar soft-toned voice. "I don't get it."

Peter Fischer of Cortlandt addresses a hearing in Nanuet on Wednesday about the environmental rules those building the new Tappan Zee Bridge should follow. / Michael Risinit/The Journal News
Be heard
The state Department of Environmental Conservation will hold more hearings at 2 and 6 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Westchester Marriott, 670 White Plains Road, Tarrytown. Written comments can be submitted until Feb. 18 by mail to John J. Ferguson, NYS DEC Division of Environmental Permits, 625 Broadway, Fourth Floor, Albany, NY 12233-1750, or by email to depprmt@gw .dec.state .ny.us.
NANUET — Two speakers Wednesday told the state Department of Environmental Conservation not to be cheap in protecting the Hudson River during the construction of the new Tappan Zee Bridge.
I have witnessed many changes for the bad and the good of the Hudson River, said Peter Fischer, 70, of Cortlandt. There should be in (my opinion) no skimping on costs related to all environmental issues pertaining to this build out.
His comments came during the first of several public hearings the DEC is holding this week about the bridge. The agency is reviewing a draft permit for the state Thruway Authority that will dictate how much dredging is done, other ways the river bottom may be affected and how many Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon may be killed during construction. The DEC will decide whether to issue the permit to the Thruway Authority after the comment period closes Feb. 18, a spokeswoman said.
The Thruway Authority applied for the original permit in late March. That application, Riverkeeper attorney Phillip Musegaas said, expires next month. If the DEC doesnt issue a final permit before then, he said, the project can proceed without one and without the protections it would put in place. He appealed to the DEC for that not to happen.
Musegaas said the state should pay for more mitigation projects in the Hudson and seek input from the public as to which projects will provide the most benefit. The Thruway Authority is already setting aside $8 million to restore wetlands, replant oyster beds and study sturgeon.
Hayley Carlock, an attorney with Scenic Hudson, said she plans to speak at Thursdays hearing. Her written comments echo Musegass and Fischers sentiment.
Scenic Hudson believes that funding for in-river mitigation projects should be more substantial for a project of such a large size, impact and cost, she wrote.

Minnie Mouse ditches the polka dots for a new look from Lanvin
CHESSY, France (AP) — Forever-young Minnie Mouse is growing up and moving on from her old red and white polka dots.
It was unveiled at a catwalk show in Disneyland Paris on Saturday evening.
Gone was the oversized hair bow that has been the signature of the character since she was created in 1928. In its place, the catwalk presentation showcased a smaller-sized red tiara alongside a thick, bejeweled hourglass gown with padded shoulders.
"Walt Disney was the one that actually designed Minnie. It's the first time an actual designer has come into the picture and designed a dress for her," Lanvin's designer Alber Elbaz told The Associated Press following the show.
"It was a great challenge and responsibility to do. I just wanted her to shine... I wanted to give her a crown in red, and the dress in blue, (a signature) for Lanvin."
The dress got applause from the celebrity-filled front row including actress Virginie Ledoyen and model Natalia Vodianova.
But the more mature look — which also did away with her famed white bloomers — didn't impress everyone.
"It's definitely more mature. It looks a bit mother of the bride," said spectator Matthew Gallagher. "I preferred the polka dots."
Traditionalists will be pleased to know that Disney says Minnie will be allowed to keep her red and white look for normal events.
Minnie has also kept her full hourglass figure. Last October, images destined for Barneys New York shop window were criticized after Minnie became a long, lean high-fashion model.
Dubbed "skinny Minnie" the short film featured the mouse-fatale in a hot-pink, ruffle covered Lanvin dress — with longer legs, leaner arms and daintier gloved hands.
"We're not here to transform people," said Elbaz. "We love her the way she is."

Roy Whitelow, 33, is charged with one count of battery to law enforcement officers, as a repeater, after he allegedly scratched a correctional officer's neck and made it bleed.
According to the criminal complaint, law enforcement officers visited Whitelow at the Fond du Lac County Jail around 1 p.m. Feb. 14 to obtain a court-ordered DNA sample. While attempting to get the sample, Whitelow became aggressive and said, "you ain't getting nothing from me until I talk to ...

Body lice are tiny insects, about the size of a sesame seed. Body lice live in your clothing and bedding and travel to your skin several times a day to feed on blood. The most common sites for bites are around the waist, groin and armpits — places where clothing seams are most likely to touch skin.
Body lice are most common in crowded and unhygienic living conditions, such as refugee camps and shelters for the homeless. Body lice bites can spread certain types of diseases and can even cause epidemics.
Clothing and bedding that have been infested with body lice should be laundered in hot, soapy water and machine dried using the hot cycle.

LAS CRUCES >> A new ordinance may be responsible for a drop in false alarm reports, officials say, partially freeing emergency responders from a bog that has cramped their efficiency.
That ordinance is about to grow teeth, a set capable of biting at the wallets of Las Crucens.
Early numbers suggest the ordinance -- at least the section already installed -- has decreased false alarms in Las Cruces. This week, Mesilla Valley Region Dispatch Authority Director Hugo Costa said reports of false alarms encountered by LCPD fell more than 25 percent since January. LCFD Battalion Chief Ted Sweetser said reports of false fire alarms fell 20 percent when comparing May 2011 data to that of this May.
It also has shortened the time firefighters spend on-scene at false alarm calls.
"Hopefully, we can attribute it to the alarm ordinance," said Sweetser, adding that it's too early to draw that conclusion.
False alarms have been a costly hindrance to emergency responders. In a presentation to City Council, officials reported that they responded to 8,846 alarm calls in 2011. About 99 percent of those calls -- more than 8,700 of them -- turned out to be false alarms. Those mistakes use resources and cost taxpayers within the city an estimated $400,000.
After a year of discussions, Las Cruces City Council adopted in January an overhauled alarm ordinance aimed at slashing false alarms. One of the major elements, implemented then, requires firms that monitor alarms to double check them: They now have to make at least two calls to find out if the alarm was accidentally tripped.
"It's not a burden," said Jimmy Neeley, longtime owner of Allied Security.
He called such an ordinance "normal."
The second major piece of the new alarm ordinance allows the city to levy fines for multiple false alarms or failing to register a home or business alarm.
That aspect of the alarm ordinance was set to take effect today. But, Costa said, minor delays will push that back "into next week."
Fines and registration fees collected will pay for administration of the alarm ordinance, which is handled by MVRDA. Such an agreement required a contract between the city and MVRDA, Costa said, one that wasn't finalized till Tuesday.
As a result, Las Crucens with alarms at their homes or businesses won't be able to register them with MVRDA until at least next week.
How that delay affects the enforcement of the fines remains unclear.
Under the ordinance, if officials respond to a false alarm at an unregistered address, MVRDA can fine the responsible party $100. Annual registration will cost $25 for homes and $50 for business.
It's not clear if the city will allow a grace period, once registration opens, providing alarm users a chance to register. Several officials simply did not know that answer, they said.
There is a similar cushion for false alarms. Registered alarm users can have up to two false alarms -- meaning emergency personnel respond after the alarm is activated -- without penalty.
A third false alarm will result in a $100 fine. Beyond that, the fine rises in $100 increments and tops out at $300 at false alarm No. 5. If a sixth false alarm is reported, police and firefighters will respond only if the emergency is verified.
Costa said alarm users will receive a letter from MVRDA after each false alarm.
An arbitrator will hear appeals from alarm uses, and there are exceptions, such as weather that will be considered.
"We don't want to fine," Costa said. "But maybe it's an incentive. ... We want false alarms to be as close to zero as possible. We want the pendulum to swing the other way. It's usually a correctable issue."
He noted that fewer false alarms mean more open lines at MVRDA, the area's dispatch center. Currently, the outdated building can handle at most 12 simultaneous calls.
Neeley and other local alarm company owners interviewed by the Sun-News supported the purpose of the ordinance, though some had concerns about specific aspects of its implementation.
Phillip Vanveen, owner of Eagle Security, said he would have preferred that the fines go straight to the alarm companies, which could pass the fines to the appropriate customer unless the false alarm was the result of a malfunction. That would have spared an additional level of "bureaucracy" and, in his mind, kept customer's data more secure.
Costa said the information collected by MVRDA will be secure and basic, just a name, address and contact numbers.
Officials expect the new alarm ordinance to reach optimum effectiveness in "three to four years."

That might be right. I've looked over the promo materials and can't find a clue. They do say it's at least 5 years old. It's possible they were thinking about this in 2007. When was that video dated, where Lunn has the bottle on his desk? I've made an inquiry.
By the way, I like the $24.99 price point very much. Yet another reason to not buy Templeton.

Talley takes the lead at AJGA Girls Championship Three-time Rolex Junior All-American leads after first round
GREENVILLE, S.C. Emma Talley of Princeton, Ky., fired a 5-under-par 67 to lead the AJGA Girls Championship after the first round. Talley has three AJGA victories in 2011 and leads by two strokes at The Furman Golf Club.
The AJGA Girls Championship is a 54-hole stroke-play event conducted by the American Junior Golf Association at The Furman Golf Club in Greenville, S.C. The 78-player field features golfers from 16 states and 10 countries, who are playing the par-72 course at 6,124 yards.
2010 Rolex Junior All-American, Talley is currently ranked No. 31 in the Polo Golf Rankings. She credited her consistency and seven birdies to post a 5-under-par after 18 holes.
I was hitting my irons really close today and then making the putts, Talley said. I was consistent overall out here which is a good thing on this course.
Annie Park of Levittown, N.Y., is in second place with a 3-under-par 69 and Karen Chung of Livingston, N.J., is in third carding a 2-under-par 70. Tied for fourth are Rachel Dai of Suwanee, Ga., August Kim of Searingtown, N.Y., and Rinko Mitsunaga of Roswell, Ga., all with a 1-under-par 71.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA provides valuable exposure for college golf scholarships, and has an annual junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 49 states and more than 40 countries.

That would be great to see, but even the hard-hitting Sam Peter couldn't knock out WK. I've seen Brock fight once, but he's not in WK's league.
Since WK went under the wings of Emanuel Steward he's been much better in conditioning, defense, and footwork which has elevated his overall skills.
Boxing Fans?
Talk about any other sports here.
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, hobbes
Well, that was a one-sided fight. Brock's fighting style was the only thing that kept him 'till the 7th round. He ate too many hard jabs until WK's right took him out (as expected). But great to see two fighters going for the heavyweight championship where one holds a PhD and the other a Bachelor's degree.
Anyhow, on to Pacquiao vs. Morales this Saturday!

Manny killed Morales, it wasn't even funny. Ha! @ the weigh-in Morales looked like he was from a STARVING 3rd world country. He actually tried to let em fly with Manny...It wasn't a fight---***030***---
btw, one of the undercards got robbed...+ he was phillipino 2...ROBBED I SAY...
Nah, I missed it! I had to travel to Latin America that Saturday evening and didn't have enough time before my flight. I'll have to catch it on HBO this weekend. Anyhow, I was very confident that Manny would destroy Morales worse this time—and I'm glad he did. Manny is just much quicker and the harder puncher. Is Barrerra next (again)? I saw the first match and rematch would be great! Also, remember Prince Naseem Hamed. I would love for him and Manny to hook up so Manny could knock his ass out, too!
Supposedly Morales lost the weight gradually this time to help him better adjust to the fighting weight. So Morales was letting em fly huh? That would spell for a short night, for Manny will not back down and his counter punches are deadly.
I know there's another Filipino boxing sensation who's up and coming. What was this guy's name who got robbed? That's really too bad. These guys sacrifice and really train their asses off for months, and whenever you see that, it's a real freakin' shame.
Speaking of the Philippine Islands, I'm traveling there on business the end of next week. Can't wait!
Thanks, Bay-dub. Hopefully they can make this work, for a Manny vs. Barrera II would be a war!
Jaca is fighting tonight versus Marquez. Never seen Jaca, but Marquez is a cagey veteran and an excellent boxer, so he'll probably have an edge.
I'd like to see Manny get a rematch with Marquez, as well. Manny should have won that first fight by a slight edge (especially since he floored Marquez three times).

sorry fellas but boxing is dying quickly and MMA is rising faster...
I agree that MMA is on the rise. But there's no reason why the two can't co-exist (much like football, basketball, and baseball). Boxing is still in a different class because it's an art form vs. a free-for-all that usually ends up on the ground, wresting, grappling, and chocking. Right now, it doesn't help (especially for casual fans) that there are just not as many boxing sensations or juggernauts to get excited about—especially in the Heavyweight Division.
Emanuel Steward actually talked about this when asked about the Heavys. There's a shortage of promising U.S. boxers who can really challenge for the crown. Maybe they are pursuing football, basketball, or baseball. When there is no great rising heavyweight or champion to draw attention, it doesn't generate much interest. The lighter weights alone cannot carry it. But it's cyclical. And people are forgetting how lucrative money can be in boxing when you rule a division—and the fame is global. But the cycle could likely be the same with MMA. And when the novelty wears out, it'll plateau.

Georges St. Pierre is the new UFC Welterwieght champion! Way to go
UFC fan here
migya make the ring fall on ya
Back to MMA. This chick is one pretty face, great bod, and deadly puncher. Here you go, Mig:
Nah, X-Bay. This is still a boxing thread. We can't let that die.
MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts. I saw Gina fight on HBO or SHO, first time for girls to be televised, and she's tough. Undefeated w/ KO power. She's more of a boxer, though--and with excellent mechanics, balance, and timing. Doesn't like it on the floor, and lets her opponents get up.
But, dayamm, I'd like to wrestle with her, though.

The development corporation has used a state loan program three times this year in expectations of creating about 200 local jobs.
Gov. Tom Corbett announced Wednesday that Alternate Heating Systems LLC is moving forward with an expansion project, expected to retain its current 35 jobs and create 19 more.
The company, known for its 97 percent efficient boilers, is diversifying into the production of utility trailers under the trade name BWise Trailers.
The Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority on April 3 agreed to provide a $1.85 million, 15-year low-interest loan to the FCADC on behalf of AHS.
FCADC President L. Michael Ross said FCADC has agreed to buy the Alternative Heating Systems building at 1086 Wayne Ave. in Chambersburg for $3.7 million and lease it back to the company. The low-interest PIDA loan was "absolutely critical" to the creative financial package.
Ross said PIDA loans have played a key role in two similar FCADC financing arrangements expected to create about 150 jobs: n FCADC purchased the former Vogele America plant, 1445 Sheffler Drive, in Chambersburg and is leasing it to paint maker Sunset Industrial Applications, an affiliate of the local Sunset Metal Works. Jobs: 60.
n FCADC also acquired the former Olson & Olson facility at 1101 Sheffler Drive and will lease it to Wipro Infrastructure Engineering, an international maker of hydraulic cylinders. Jobs: 74.
PIDA lowered its interest rates to an unprecedented 1.5 percent in December, down from 2.75 percent. It was a key recommendation of the Governor's Manufacturing Advisory Council.
"Companies like AHS are investing in our communities and employing Pennsylvanians and my administration is proud to support the growth of these businesses," Corbett said. "As a result of this expansion project, new jobs are coming to Franklin County."
AHS announced two years ago that it was consolidating its Harrisonville, Edenville and St. Thomas operations to an 80,000-square-foot facility at 1086 Wayne Ave., the former site of Hitch Things. The move was to increase production and to cut costs. AHS makes wood, coal, multi-fuel and waste oil boilers, heaters and furnaces for home, business and industry. The devices have become popular with rising fuel prices, dependence on imported fuels and increased focus on environmental issues.
The manufacture of trailers will allow the company to balance the seasonal nature of making furnaces, Ross said. The company can grow its business and add jobs while FCADC can diversify its revenue stream. The lease holder plans to make improvements to the building.
Brian Wise, owner of AHS, has previous experience in the local manufacture of utility trailers. He had co-owned manufacturer Bri-Mar Trailers and owned Hitch Things, a maker of trailer parts.
"Brian has a track record of being able to create family-sustaining job opportunities," Ross said.
AHS has hired many workers already and plans to hire more over the next year, according to Wise. Jobs are in welding, machining and assembly.
PIDA provides capital for building acquisition, construction and renovation work, primarily for manufacturers, industrial developers, research and development firms, agricultural processors and employers looking to establish national or regional headquarters in Pennsylvania.
PIDA this year has approved $26.4 million in low-interest loans that have resulted in $53.2 million in private investment and supported 8,389 jobs.

NotReallyHere wrote:You sure like flashes don't you? XD Anyway, the sync in this was done really well, but I think you overdid it a little. Especially in the beginning, when all you hear is this piano? sound and quiet singing the video moves rapidly and flashes on every note of the piano-thing when the singing suggest it should actually be a slow part. In the middle part some of the flashes were a bit too strong in my opinion, but since the beats are a lot stronger here the pacing felt a lot better. Also, between 0:46-:048 you go back-forward-back-forward, this kills the flow a bit. (I suggest watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu6h0MDnF6w, I wouldn't have been able to tell what exactly felt off about that part if I hadn't seen it). The last part is where, to me at least, the video fits the music best. Flashes seem (not sure if they are) a bit weaker than in the middle, transitions feel better because the scenes are more similar. That's the way to go! One last thing: there were white borders around the whole vid. I assume this was intentional but I don't really understand why. It's like you made a screen... in a screen.
Either way, don't let this wall of text discourage you. You definitely have skills, they just need some finetuning.
P.S.: Completely unrelated note but I'm pretty sure the word "collab" is used for having two editors on one video, not multiple sources.
