National news in brief, 8/7
Manning's sentence cut to 90 years
FORT MEADE — A military judge has reduced Army Pfc. Bradley Manning's maximum possible sentence in the WikiLeaks case to 90 years in prison.
Manning had faced up to 136 years in prison after he was convicted of charges related to his disclosure of classified information to the anti-secrecy website. But the judge, Army Col. Denise Lind, found during his sentencing hearing Tuesday that a number of the charges refer to the same actions and therefore were duplicative for sentencing purposes.
Manning was convicted at his court-martial of 20 counts. His defense attorneys had argued that some of the counts amounted to multiple convictions for a single act.
Testimony during Manning's sentencing hearing was to continue.
Jury takes case of reputed crime boss
BOSTON — Jurors began their deliberations Tuesday in the trial of James "Whitey" Bulger, the reputed crime boss who is accused of participating in 19 murders during a two-decade reign over Boston's underworld.
Bulger is charged with orchestrating or committing the killings during the 1970s and '80s while he allegedly led the notorious Winter Hill Gang, a crew of mostly Irish-American gangsters.
Bulger was one of the nation's most wanted fugitives after he fled Boston in 1994 ahead of an indictment. During his 16 years on the run, his secret relationship with the FBI as an informant was revealed, embarrassing the FBI and exposing corruption within the bureau. Bulger, now 83, was finally captured in Santa Monica, Calif., in 2011.
In a 32-count racketeering indictment, Bulger is accused of being a hands-on boss who killed anyone he saw as a potential rival or danger to the gang. He is accused of shooting or strangling some of the victims himself. In other cases, he allegedly ordered the slayings, or participated in some other way.
He is also accused of making millions by extorting drug dealers, bookmakers and legitimate businessmen by threatening to hurt or kill them or their families.
Boy, 2, dies after serving as best man
PITTSBURGH — A terminally ill 2-year-old western Pennsylvania boy who served as his parents' best man at their wedding last weekend has died, according to his mother's Facebook page and a family friend.
Christine Swidorsky Stevenson's Facebook post said little Logan Stevenson died Monday night in her arms at the home she shared with the boy's father, her new husband, Sean Stevenson. The couple live in Jeannette, about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh, and were wed Saturday at a ceremony at their home.
The boy, who had leukemia and other complications, was dressed in a tan pinstripe suit and orange shirt for the wedding. His mother carried him on her shoulder, before he stood and was held by his grandmother, Debbie Stevenson, to witness the 12-minute ceremony.
A family spokeswoman, Sylvia Johnson, of Youngwood, confirmed Logan's death Tuesday.

I have a tutorial question(not homework), that asks to prove that there exists no $x,y \in \mathbb{Z}$, solution for:
$$x^5 - 3y^5 = 2008$$
I originally thought I would solve it by taking all cases $\mod 10$, but realised that would be a massive workload, and also realised it fell through instantly as $x = 1 \mod 1, y = 1 \mod 1$, gave $x^5 - 3y^5 = 8 \mod 10$ instantly. I only thought that method might work because we were doing mod proofs directly prior to the question.
I have absolutely no idea how to solve this problem without using computation, any tips or methods?

Black Teens Name Michael Vick As Favorite NFL Player In Recent Survey
THE KIDS TODAY JUST DON'T GET THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE NOIS blog today points out a recent survey from research company TRU that asked black teens who their favorite athlete was.
In the results, Michael Vick was named by black teens as their favorite NFL player, and in overall popularity, Vick ranked ahead of Tiger Woods, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Reggie Bush, Peyton Manning and Tim Duncan.Again, the survey was given AFTER Vick admitted to abusing dogs. The TRU number-crunchers then opine on the results: "Another explanation for Vick's relative popularity among black teens lies in the fact that survey data show that significantly fewer African-American teens pass judgment on star athletes under suspicion of wrongdoing."
If that wasn't the case, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be cardboard camping under a freeway somewhere in the South Bronx.

I'll not mince words. Goldenrod has an effect for me. I didn't think so originally, as I was using it topically. A capsule with 3 drops taken internally worked well for me. 5 drops worked perhaps a bit too well, causing an erection which felt as if it were in danger of bursting, bordering on discomfort. It could be, of course, that goldenrod just filled in gaps in my system which happened to be missing, so I have no idea what may happen for others. Of this, I am certain – it has to be internal and I'd start with a single drop and work up from there, rather than fill a capsule and back off from that. A trip to the emergency is not an ideal way to spend an evening, at least not around here. Rob
Goldenrod. What an appropriate name for an essential oil that enhances libido. The law of signatures is right on with this one. Alan

PHILADELPHIA -- A popular class of diabetes drugs increases patients' risk of bladder cancer, according to a new study published online this month in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that patients taking thiazolidinedione (TZDs) drugs which account for up to 20 percent of the drugs prescribed to diabetics in the United States -- are two to three times more likely to develop bladder cancer than those who took a sulfonylurea drug, another common class of medications for diabetes.
The authors say the findings are especially important since diabetic patients are known to already be at a slightly increased risk of this type of cancer as compared to the generation population, in which about 30 in 100,000 people develop bladder cancer. Among diabetes patients overall, the incidence of this cancer is typically about 40 out of 100,000.
The authors of the new study analyzed 60,000 Type 2 diabetes patients from the Health Improvement Network (THIN) database in the United Kingdom. They found that patients treated with the TZD drugs pioglitazone (Actos) or rosiglitzaone (Avandia) for five or more years had a two-to-three-fold increase in risk of developing bladder cancer when compared to those who took sulfonylurea drugs. Among patients taking TZDs for that length of time, the team's analysis indicates that 170 patients per 100,000 would be expected to develop the disease. About 60 in 100,000 of those who take sulfonylurea drugs such as glipizide (Glucotrol) -- would be expected to develop bladder cancer.
"Diabetes is one the most common chronic diseases worldwide, affecting 285 million people. There are many factors clinicians must weigh in deciding which drug to use to control a patient's diabetes, and these new data provide important information to include in that decision-making process," said the study's lead author, Ronac Mamtan

Gainesville's First Urban Farm
Published September 5th, 2012
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE - Joseph Price, a regular at St. Francis House traded his friend a donut for some more veggies.
"Carbohydrates are good-- to a point," Price said.
But he may not have to worry for long.
Florida Organic Growers is working on building an organic vegetable garden that will provide more local goods for downtown Gainesville, called Porters Community Farm.
This back part of the farm will be the largest. It will hold ten 55-foot rows of fresh organic vegetables all which will be donate to the St. Francis House.
"It's a good use of land," Lee Smith, the Director of Operations at St. Francis House said. "It's a sizable garden over there and we're going to be the recipients of a lot of their vegetables, which everyone loves fresh vegetables, the canned stuff is okay, but fresh is always better."
The garden is located between Third Street and Fifth Avenue. It will be managed by volunteers.
Gigi Simmons, president of the Porter's Community Neighborhood Organization, says this is a group effort.
"We are also teaching our young children in the community sustainability, and just trying to become responsible citizens and take care of one another," Simmons said.
But to make this farm a reality FOG needs some help.
"We've raised right about... I think about $5,500 of our $12,000 goal," said project coordinator, Travis Mitchell. "So we're getting there but we still need a lot more support."
And as Price continues to pile on the veggies, he tells me he can't wait for the better food options.
"And the folks that sit here will get a whole lot better meal, higher energy food they can stay more active and do more with their day," Price said.

Deputy Superintendent Rob Saxton today released the report card ratings for Oregon's K-12 public schools and districts. These annual report cards provide parents and community members with an overview of school performance in the areas of student achievement, attendance/graduation, participation, and student growth, in addition to key school statistics, demographics, and an overall rating.
A school's overall designation on the report card is determined by a rating system which looks at student achievement on state reading and math tests, growth in student achievement, participation on reading and math tests, and graduation or attendance rates. How well a school does in these areas determines whether they are identified as Outstanding, Satisfactory, or In Need of Improvement.
This will be the final year Oregon releases the current version of the school report cards. As part of the state's federal flexibility waiver, the school report cards will be redesigned to provide better information to parents and communities on how our students, schools, and districts are doing.
As part of Oregon's federal flexibility waiver, the state proposed designing a new State Report Card. Since the timing of the waiver approval did not allow for a redesign to occur before this year's report card release, this year's reports will look much as they have in the past. The main change is the removal of overall Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) designations since these are no longer required under Oregon's waiver. In addition, schools which were identified as Priority, Focus, or Model schools this summer under Oregon's new accountability system received a note of this new designation on their Report Card. Priority, Focus, and Model schools are economically disadvantaged (Title I) schools identified as needing additional supports and interventions (Priority and Focus) or as examples of student success (Model).
Corvallis School District had two Title I elementary schools (Lincoln and Mt. View) receive the Model school designation. Both of these schools also received Outstanding ratings on the Oregon school report cards, as did Adams, Cheldelin, Crescent Valley, Franklin, Hoover, Jefferson, Muddy Creek Charter, and Wilson. Corvallis High, Garfield, and Linus Pauling received Satisfactory ratings. No Corvallis schools were designated as In Need of Improvement.
"As the State strives to create a meaningful and relevant reporting system to share with the community how well our district is doing," said Corvallis Schools Superintendent Dr. Erin Prince, "we take great pride this year in seeing growth for many of our students, especially in middle school math and reading across the district. However, we acknowledge we have work to do to better prepare our students for success in high school and post-secondary/career readiness. While we have made some gains in closing the gap with our sub-groups, we are not closing it fast enough and certainly not with all children. Our staff work extremely hard and are motivated and committed to our students' success. We are fortunate to have such dedicated educators teaching and leading our children. We need to stay the course. Our children depend on it."
School and district report cards are available on the Department's website at: http://www.ode.state.or.us/data/reportcard/reports.aspx
The Corvallis School District does not discriminate on the basis of age, citizenship, color, disability, gender expression, gender identity, national origin, parental or marital status, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation in its programs and activities, and provides equal access to designated youth groups. The following person has been designated to handle inquiries regarding discrimination: Jennifer Duvall, Human Resources Director, firstname.lastname@example.com

Katie Lewis and Rick Parsons
Exploring ideas around notions of landscape, time, and states of flux artists Rick Parsons and Katie Lewis collaborated to make a two-part installation with Lake Tahoe as the point of origin. Parsons and Lewis visited seven different site around the lake with the criteria that each site must have a creek or tributary that feeds into Lake Tahoe.
A total of ninety-eight jars were collected during the site visits and are marked according to the site number and the order in which they were collected. Referring to the idea of sediment and the passage of time the jars are placed according to the same GPS mapping system used during collection, but all seven sites are combined and layered on top of one another to create one composite view.The element of chance and the unknown played an important role in this project. The parameters and methods of working were established before the site visits occurred, but what happened during the visits such as which pigments were found and where, created a point of flux—in a sense the landscape itself determined the final visual outcome. The project also refers to other artistic methods of either interpreting or documenting the landscape such as painting or photography. For example, in the same way a photographer records the landscape the drawings and jars abstractly document the different points around the lake both through the coloring and placement of the pigment.

U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Municipal Bond Market's State Tax System
On May 19, 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court released its long-awaited decision in Davis v. Kentucky Department of Revenue of the Finance and Administration Cabinet, upholding the constitutionality of state laws that tax interest on out-of-state municipal bonds while exempting municipal bonds of in-state issuers. The 7-2 decision, which reversed an intermediate Kentucky appellate court's holding that such laws discriminate against interstate commerce in violation of the U.S. Constitution's "dormant" Commerce Clause, preserves the existing structure of the municipal bond market and, in particular, the state tax preferences that induce state residents to favor their own state's municipal bonds and that have promoted the growth of single-state municipal bond funds.
The Decision's Scope and Effect
The Davis decision ends the current litigation regarding Kentucky's tax statute, and effectively ends copycat lawsuits brought in various other states to the extent that they challenge state tax preferences for in-state "governmental" municipal bonds such as general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. As foreshadowed by Justice Ginsburg's comments at the oral argument, the U.S. Supreme Court limited its holding to such governmental municipal bonds, indicating in a footnote that the decision does not address what the Court characterized as "so-called 'private activity,' 'industrial-revenue' or 'conduit' bonds." In the majority opinion authored by Justice Souter, the Court noted the argument that private activity bonds are different for dormant Commerce Clause purposes from governmental bonds, but said that the argument "was not considered below, was never pressed by the [taxpayer plaintiffs] themselves, and is barely developed by amici," and that accordingly "it is best to set this argument aside and leave for another day any claim that differential treatment of interest on private-activity bonds should be evaluated differently from the treatment of municipal bond interest generally."
Defendants in similar lawsuits in other states likely will move promptly for dismissal of such cases on the basis of the Court's Davis decision. Plaintiffs may resist dismissal by narrowing or amending their challenges so that they are limited to private activity bonds. Private activity bonds constitute approximately one quarter of the municipal bond market. Although the Court did not slam the door on the continuation of such narrower challenges, it went out of its way to hint that any such further litigation was unlikely to succeed. The Court's footnote regarding private activity bonds states that although "we cannot tell with certainty what the consequences would be of holding that Kentucky violates the Commerce Clause by exempting [private activity] bonds … we must assume that it could disrupt important projects that the States have deemed to have public purposes." This language is likely to discourage most, if not all, litigants from devoting the resources necessary to continue the multiyear process of pursuing actions on behalf of a reduced universe of claimants in the face of a precedent that shows no predisposition by the U.S. Supreme Court to interpret the U.S. Constitution in a manner \that would disrupt long-standing state tax practices and market expectations in the municipal marketplace. Also cast into doubt is the viability of pending litigation challenging state tax benefits for a state's own "section 529" college savings program on dormant Commerce Clause grounds. It is possible that, due to the majority opinion's carveout, some official statements for future offerings of private activity bonds will continue to disclose the theoretical possibility of future invalidation of favorable state tax treatment on dormant Commerce Clause grounds, but as a practical matter that risk now appears minimal.
The Decision's Practical and Legal Underpinnings
The Court's majority opinion suggests that the outcome was determined as much by practical considerations as by legal analysis, a point emphasized by Justice Kennedy in a dissent joined by Justice Alito, which notes that the majority's opinion is based on the twin premises that "the interstate discrimination has been entrenched in many States and for a considerable time" and that "were this law to be invalidated, the national market for bonds would be disrupted." As to the existing structure of the municipal bond market and the market consequences of declaring Kentucky-like statutes unconstitutional, the majority opinion relied principally on an amicus brief submitted by Mintz Levin on behalf of the National Federation of Municipal Analysts (NFMA). In particular, the Court focused on the assertion in the NFMA brief that absent state tax preferences for in-state issuers, single-state mutual funds would cease to exist, and adopted the brief's conclusion that "'[t]he main adverse impact of the disappearance of single state funds … would be felt by small municipal issuers' because they 'would stand to lose much of the intrastate market for the bonds that has developed under the currently prevailing state tax system without gaining much of an interstate market from its elimination.'" Based on the NFMA brief's description of the effects of invalidating tax preferences for in-state issuers, the Court concluded that "[f]inancing for long-term municipal improvements would … change radically if the differential tax feature disappeared."
In addition to its consideration of the disruptive effect of upholding the lower court's invalidation of Kentucky's tax preference for its municipal bonds, the Court clearly was influenced by the fact that the other 49 states all joined an amicus brief in support of Kentucky and the status quo. As noted by the majority, "[i]t is striking, after all, that most of the harms allegedly flowing directly or indirectly to Kentucky's sister States and their citizens have failed to dissuade even a single State from supporting the current system; every one of them, including States with no income tax, have lined up with Kentucky in this case." In light of the unanimity of support of the existing system by the states, the Court rejected an outcome "which to a certainty would upset the market in bonds and the settled expectations of their issuers based on the experience of nearly a century."
In terms of legal argument, the Court's majority opinion distinguished a long line of cases under which state tax statutes that discriminate against out-of-state entities have been struck down time and again, and emphasized that, in contrast to those cases, the beneficiaries of Kentucky's tax statute are public sector entities. According to the Court, "[t]he Kentucky tax scheme falls outside the forbidden paradigm because [it] favors, not local private entrepreneurs, but the Commonwealth [of Kentucky] and local governments." The majority opinion relied on last term's United Haulers Association, Inc. v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority case for the proposition that a statute is discriminatory under the dormant Commerce Clause only if it discriminates against "substantially similar" out-of-state entities. The majority opinion accepted Kentucky's argument that for Commerce Clause purposes, a state, as a sovereign within its borders, is unique, and therefore not "substantially similar" to other states. Justice Souter, joined by Justices Stevens and Breyer, articulated a second legal rationale for upholding the Kentucky statute, arguing that the "market participant" exception to the dormant Commerce Clause's ban on in-state favoritism should extend to situations in which a state uses its regulatory powers, such as the taxing power, to bolster its status as a market participant; the other members of the majority declined to join that aspect of the opinion on the basis that it was unnecessary to the result.
All seven Justices in the majority declined to send the case back to the Kentucky courts for the conduct of a balancing test generally required in dormant Commerce Clause litigation involving statutes that are determined to be nondiscriminatory but that nonetheless may adversely impact interstate commerce. Under this so-called Pike balancing, a nondiscriminatory statute may be invalidated if the court determines that the burdens the statute imposes on interstate commerce clearly outweigh the benefits of a state or local practice. Showing no appetite for further judicial scrutiny in this case, the majority asserted that the judicial branch is unsuited to making determinations regarding the burdens and benefits of tax statutes such as Kentucky's, and that any such determination should be made by Congress, which "has some hope of acquiring more complete information than adversary trials may produce, and … is the preferable institution for incurring the economic risks of any alteration in the way things have traditionally been done."
The Court thus validated the decades-old municipal bond taxation system, notwithstanding a substantial legal challenge, because it was persuaded that the existing system is generally accepted and that upending the status quo in an approximately $3 trillion market could severely undermine the public sector and investor expectations. As aptly noted by the majority, "practical consequences have always been relevant in deciding the constitutionality of local tax laws."

Cara Delevingne is the face of Chanel's Resort 2013 campaign, in which the model gives her best impression of Marie Antoinette.
The label's Resort 2013 show was actually held at in the gardens at Versailles, so the campaign continues Karl Lagerfeld's romantic vision of the ancien régime for the season. Cara lounges around in a room covered in opulent gold wallpaper, in updated versions (and when we say updated versions, we mean "versions that use a lot less fabric") of very period-specific clothes, the house's signature jackets, and a few pieces of enamel jewelry. We have to say, this is one of our favorite campaigns in a while. It's soft and feminine as well as intriguing, and the images are undeniably beautiful. Check it out and tell us what you think:

Project: Dhiban Excavation and Development Project
Project / Collection Overview
The Dhiban Excavation and Development Project (DEDP) investigates the archaeology, environment, and history of Dhiban, a Middle Eastern town located today in west-central Jordan. Dhiban has been settled intermittently over the past five millennia and is today the largest town on the Dhiban Plateau. Started in 2004, the DEDP is a collaborative project involving scholars from Europe, the Middle East, and North America, and is directed by Katherine Adelsberger (Knox College), Danielle S. Fatkin (Knox College), Benjamin W. Porter (University of California, Berkeley), and Bruce Routledge (University of Liverpool).
A durable and persistent attachment to place is readily observed at Dhiban, located approximately 70 kilometers south of 'Amman, Jordan's capital city. Over the last five millennia, Dhiban has seen repeated attempts to organize large sedentary populations in unique configurations, only to see these efforts languish after only a few centuries. Physical evidence for these trials are found throughout Dhiban's vicinity, but are most concentrated in a 15-hectare tall adjacent to the modern settlement. Here, physical evidence from the Early Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Nabataean, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic settlements can be recovered using archaeological research methods.
The Dhiban Excavation and Development Project's research design reflects its multi-disciplinary concerns that span history, geology, anthropology, tourism studies, and the materials sciences. The following five goals currently shape the project's research design. More information can be found in the DEDP's publications.
Determining the size, date, and nature of Dhiban's various settlement episodes
An important goal of any archaeological project is to define the size, location, and nature of each settlement episode. This goal is particularly challenging at Dhiban, where most evidence is found in stratified contexts. The careful excavation of particular kinds of organic evidence allows the DEDP to date each settlement episode using radiocarbon dating techniques. The DEDP is also determining the size and nature of each settlement episode using surface survey and excavation of randomly selected units.
Documenting landscape use in Dhiban's vicinity
While its position on the King's Highway in part explains why this location witnessed repeated settlement, Dhiban is barely suitable for large-scale human habitation. No natural springs are found at Dhiban and the area receives less than 300 millimeters of precipitation per year, making rain-fed agricultural production risky and successful water storage a necessity. Why, despite these adverse conditions, did Middle Easterners return--and indeed, continue to return--to this place is an intriguing question that drives us to explore Dhiban's ancient and modern communities.
Reconstructing agricultural, pastoralist, and craft economies
A number of agricultural, pastoral, and craft industries were organized at Dhiban over the past five millennia. Sheep and goat, wheat and barley, commonly produced products in Near Eastern societies, were popular at Dhiban, as were other niche industries. Excavations indicate that the various communities consumed ceramic, stone, metal, and glass objects, some of which were likely produced at or near the settlement. Paleoethnobotanical (i.e., the study of ancient carbonized seeds), zooarchaeological (i.e., the study of ancient animal remains), and materials scientific analytical techniques help piece together how these industries were organized, what resources were used, and how they changed over time.
Measuring the impacts of imperial interventions
Like the rest of the Levant, Dhiban fell under the sway of different empires throughout its history. Written sources and archaeological evidence suggest that at least seven empires were present at Dhiban, from the Assyrian, Roman, and Byzantine to the Ummayad, Mamluk, Ottoman, and finally, the British Empires. The effects these empires had on Dhiban's society and economy, however, differed depending on a number of factors. In some instances, empires introduced new economic demands that led to an increase in Dhiban's population and the intensification of its industries. Just how these processes unfolded at the local level demand careful investigation, making it a key concern for the DEDP.
Understanding the contemporary community's relationship with ancient Dhiban
Sitting south of Tall Dhiban is a thriving Jordan community mainly consisting of families from the Bani Hamida tribe, one of the largest tribes in the kingdom. The community was founded during the British Mandate Period (1918-1948) by nomadic pastoralists. Given the ancient site's proximity to the current town, the two spaces are intertwined in a number of interesting relationships. The site is still used as a park for children and picnickers, and grazing ground for pastoralists living near the site. The DEDP is exploring how the site is used as well as the narratives that circulate about ancient Dhiban.
Planning Dhiban's development as an interpretive site and tourism destination
Dhiban's abundant archaeological resources and its position on a well travelled tourism route, the King's Highway, makes it an ideal destination where guests can learn about Jordan's cultural history as well as how a community with limited natural resources has persisted for the last five millennia. Plans are underway to develop ancient Dhiban's archaeological resources.
The project wishes to thank the Jordanian Department of Antiquities, particularly its director, Dr. Ziad al-Sa'ad, the American Center of Oriental Research in 'Amman, and the Council for British Research in the Levant. A complete list of project sponsors is listed here:

As I entered week 5 of pregnancy, I remember that my biggest concern was dealing with dry skin during pregnancy. (I weighed a respectable 122.9 pounds, and my waist measured 33 inches.) I usually suffer from dry skin, and early pregnancy was no exception. If I step out of the shower without immediately slathering lotion all over myself, I know that I am going to end of rather itchy as soon as my skin dries. Similarly, if I do not put hand lotion on my hands before I get into bed, I know that I am going to wake up at some point during the night from the pain of itchy dry skin on the backs of my hands. Therefore, knowing that the hormonal and physical changes of pregnancy can make dry skin worse, I created a plan of attack to deal with my new pregnancy skin dryness.
First, because my skin gets so dried out after I shower, my main plan for tackling my dry skin was to continue to put lotion on immediately after I stepped out of the shower. I would pat myself dry (but not rub off to protect my delicate skin) and then immediately slather on the lotion. My three favorite lotions at the beginning of my pregnancy were Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Crème, Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Tummy Butter, and Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks. All three of these lotions are gentle on the skin and also offered the added benefit of preventing stretch marks. Although I was less concerned with the possibility of getting stretch marks than with treating my dry and itchy skin, using a product made especially for pregnancy was definitely not going to hurt.
Second, in addition to slathering on the lotion, I also used early pregnancy as the perfect time to start including more liquids into my diet. Drinking plenty of water is not only good for the inside of the body but is also good for the skin. Furthermore, as my pregnancy with my daughter progressed, I would need to increase my fluid intake anyway to maintain the health of my growing baby (and the quantity of my amniotic fluid, in particular), so getting used to drinking more early on would help me out in the long run. Dehydration, in addition to being bad for myself and my daughter, would also lead to more problems with dry skin, so I was doing myself a double favor by drinking more water, decaffeinated tea, milk, and 100% juice.
For expectant mothers like me who suffer from dry skin in general, early pregnancy can be a drying time. The hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause some major skin changes. For me, early pregnancy thus meant using more lotion and drinking more fluids to combat my dry and itchy skin during week 5 of pregnancy.
Did you experience any changes to your skin during early pregnancy?

Behavioral Health
During the past ten years, there has been tremendous growth in terms of understanding behavioral (mental) health and how it manifests itself through other illnesses. When it comes to the disease process, it's fairly safe to say that few diseases affect only the body or only the mind. As Citizens Memorial Healthcare expands its behavioral health services, our focus is to treat the "whole" person, not just the parts.
According to the World Health Organization, five of the ten leading causes of disease burdens are from mental illness. Depression alone is the second greatest cause of disability in the world (after coronary artery disease) and the second most common cause of pain complaints (after advanced arthritis).
When treatment of the body alone fails to give the desired relief, it's often because the part of the illness that affects the brain or mind has been left untreated. Providing "the other half of health care" to treat the neglected organ system and thus, the whole person, often will bring relief.
Numerous studies have shown a definite mind-body connection; for example, half of heart patients develop depression, and depressed patients are three times as likely to have a heart attack.

Jonas Brothers Were "Tense" One Day Before Canceling Tour, Explained Past Break Up in Interview
Is history repeating itself? Just one day before canceling their 19-date tour due to a "deep rift within the band," according to their rep, the Jonas Brothers banded together on Tuesday, Oct. 8 to perform at "We Day" in Minneapolis, Minn. During an interview with radio station KDWB, Kevin, 25, Joe, 24, and Nick, 21, were asked about why they took a three-year break before reuniting in 2012.
"We decided to take a break because, I think, in this crazy world that looks a lot of fun it's also really kind of stressful and crazy at times," Joe explained on behalf of his brothers. "For us, we were like, let's not implode and let's just take some time off and really kind of refocus on what we want to do."
PHOTOS: The Jonas Brothers through the years
During the hiatus, Kevin married Danielle Deleasa (who is now pregnant with their first child), Joe released a solo album, Fastlife, and Nick formed his own blues rock band, Nick Jonas & the Administration.

"We had so many individual ideas -- whether it was personal or business wise -- that we wanted to venture out in," Joe continued. "Having that time to do it was really refreshing. We always have heart for the band, but it's always important for us as well to take time when it's needed."
PHOTOS: The biggest boy bands of all time
According to KDWB, the brothers were "a little tense" when they arrived at their studio on Tuesday. The radio station also reports that the musicians left Minneapolis on separate planes.

The next day, the Jonas Brothers' spokesman, Jesse Derris, confirmed to Us Weekly that the band was canceling their tour just two days before the first show. "There is a deep rift within the band," Derris told Us. "There was a big a disagreement over their music direction."

Hill's® Prescription Diet® d/d® Canine Skin Support Salmon Formula 8 8
Saved me dogs from itching to death We tried everything last summer to help with itching for my 2 yorkie/silky terrier mix. Not until we changed their food from chicken to salmon base and added d/d canine skin support salmon can food did they get relief. They love the taste and I even make baked treats from it. May 29, 2014
This product solved our dog's skin and stomach problems Our vet initially prescribed Hills Science Diet zd food for our senior German Shepherd, who had developed severe skin and digestive problems. There was almost immediate relief for our dog, so we kept her on this diet for several weeks. After a while, she acted constantly hungry and begged to be fed hours ahead of time. Since we could not find a commercial brand that did not make her sick again, we switched to Hills Prescription Diet dd, and she's been absolutely great since. Her digestion is perfect, no skin problems, and she's satisfied. She likes the taste, so we can use small amounts of the canned food as treats, avoiding other treats that she can't tolerate. We're very happy with the dog food, although wish it was a little more affordable. March 5, 2014
Life Saver for Paige Due to my babies severe allergies she was first placed on z/d but it didn't work for her. She is now eating d/d and it has helped tremendously. Due to her allergies this is the only thing she can eat. So Paige enjoys the wet,dry,and treats. February 12, 2014
Happy dog All flavors are enjoyed by my dog. I thought it was a losing battle trying to find a type of food my fussy dog would like and stop the itching and biting. After 9yrs of searching, new vet recommended Prescription Diet D/D. Molly loves it and we no longer have a skin or stomach ptoblem. She is more active and has wonderful shiny coat. April 18, 2015
This product is great For the cost I thought it would be working by now. Vet said give it 6 months and it's been almost 5, still not really any change It would be nice if you could get coupons, ecspecially for people on a fixed income. October 11, 2014
My dog goes crazy for this product 2 years ago my dog had allergy and skin problems but changing her to the Hills skin support has really helped. She absolutely loves the salmon and comes running when the can is opened or pulled from the fridge. Apart from adding it to her dry food I use it fill her toy for a treat and she gets really excited. October 5, 2014
ImprovedSkin For years my hairless Chinese Crested suffered from dry, itchy skin. We tried many interventions to relieve him of this problem such as topical creams and prescription medications. One day my vet recommended we treat the problem from the inside out. That's when we learned about Hill's Prescription Diet d/d. Our dog's skin has been less dry and he doesn't scratch like before. He enjoys the taste as well. I highly recommend this product. September 18, 2014
This product helped my dogs with skin allergies. I highly recommend this product. Using it along with a salmon based dry kibble helped my dogs with skin allergies. June 26, 2014

Ciao: March Madness better be good to follow February Frenzy
The old expression about March coming in like a lamb and going out like a lion is not exactly true this year. Rather, it was February that went out like a lion with one roar after another and if March comes in like a lamb it will become the lamb that is led to slaughter.
The month really will have to be at its roaring best to top the noise left by February. In fact, this year February was so busy that it needed an extra day. You might call it a leap of faith if you'll pardon the pun.
To prove my point I cannot think of any time in recent years when the last two weeks of any month, including December, was so chock full of events that it could make anyone go nuts, if you'll again pardon the pun.
This was especially so in the cultural, social and entertainment areas as the following review of those events shows.
It was a two-week span that began with the end of the ACE Group Classic golf tournament and it certainly was a fortnight that came up aces.
Leading into the crescendo of the final two weeks of the month was the Naples Art, Antique and Jewelry Show, which ran from Feb. 9-13 at the Naples Exhibition Center at Second Avenue South and Goodlette-Frank Road. Its promoters promised an "unrivaled combination of renowned international exhibitors and elegantly composed décor, a must-attend cultural experience."
It delivered all of that to the many hundreds of Neapolitans who were able to attend with the exception of the "unrivaled" part because barely 10 days after those doors closed, the doors opened at the Naples International Art & Antique Fair at the Naples International Pavilion at the intersection of Immokalee and Livingston roads.
Recognizing that it had competition, the NIAAF claimed that, in 2011, it "introduced international fine art galleries to the flourishing art scene of Florida's Gulf Coast."
I will leave the accuracy of that claim to local artisans and gallery owners, as I will leave to the more knowledgeable the determination of which show was the better or more successful. Perhaps a clue could be whether either or both return for an encore in 2013.
What we know will return next year and for many more years to come, is OperaNaples. Now in its seventh season, the company presented its fourth of five 2011-2012 productions with a magnificent performance of Charles Gounod's grandiose opera "Faust," which featured an outstanding cast and orchestra conducted by maestro Paul Adler who has had more than 60 performances under his baton at the Metropolitan Opera.
OperaNaples' final production of the season will be in May when it partners with ArtsNaples in a concert version of Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin." When reminding this past weekend's audiences at Gulf Coast High School's Performing Arts Hall of this, Founder and Artistic Director Stefanie Pearce revealed that this opera will be staged at the Phil, an announcement greeted with spontaneous cheering and applause.
This formal and formidable collaboration proves that OperaNaples, has indeed "come a long way baby" as the old Virginia Slims' marketing slogan put it.
The approval of the affiliation with the Phil is welcome news and a strong signal from new Phil CEO Kathleen van Bergen that her organization will be working with other cultural endeavors in Naples.
Still, the Phil remains top of the heap, king of the hill, as its schedule over the last couple of weeks in February proved. Included were a performance by the incomparable Diana Ross, the second of the Pops Series with Jack Everly conducting the Philharmonic Orchestra in a program featuring the music of the Callaway Sisters, and concluding this weekend with the smash musical "La Cage Aux Folles."
So March, your marching orders are clear. Bring it on with a roar worthy of the MGM Lion.
March Madness better be good to follow February Frenzy in Naples.
But as W. C. Fields purportedly said, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"

Fishing: New site perfect for Back Country Classic tournament
Ron Riley, the architect behind the incredibly popular Caloosa Tournament Series, which has raised almost half a million dollars for charitable efforts throughout the area, was whisked off to a deserted place Saturday.
"We gotta get out there," he said with a smile, pointing to the darkening skies over the Port of the Islands marina. "Half hour to get there and a half hour to get back."
Riley returned from his trip to the isolated strip of land serving as weigh station for the weekend's Back Country Classic, and even with the somewhat uncooperative weather, the tournament was again a smashing success.
Despite being moved from downtown Naples to the more rustic setting on the edge of Everglades City, the event drew 32 teams to the resort for a weekend of fun and fishing. Some $15,000 was up for grabs in cash and prizes, while Riley again made a sizable donation toward athletic scholarships at Florida Gulf Coast University.
"Perfect," Riley said of the new site. "The only issue, if you want to call it that, is that we lost Fort Myers anglers and picked up more from Marco Island, Naples, Goodland and so on. That's OK, though, because the Back Country was always supposed to be a Collier County event."
In fact, the city's largest fishing tournament hardly suffered for the longer commute.
Some anglers said that the bites (from snook, redfish and assorted mystery picks) tapered off as the day wore on, but the midsummer event has always been more of a social scene for locals than it has been a highly competitive tournament.
"It's great," guide Aron Blaisdell said, "because a lot of these guys, we're so busy during season that we never actually get out and get to fish for ourselves. You play a little catch-up, and it's great for all of us to get back together and just hang out."
Capt. Shane Miller, who cast lines alongside fellow captains Ron Houston and Chuck Lapham, said the group hooked just one 40-inch snook through a long, hot day on the water. Still, the long drive was worth it, he said, considering the charity and the company alike.
"The facilities are a lot better," Miller said of Port of the Islands. "It's a great charity, the scholarships at FGCU, and it's just a lot of fun. It's not the kind of tournament you expect to go in and win a ton of cash. In fact, you probably spend more coming here now, but it's just a great, great time and we'll keep coming back."
Now, Riley said, if only they'll get all their friends to come, too.
It wasn't a challenge moving the tournament 20-plus miles from the heart of the city, but like anything, a smooth trial run can only have a positive affect on the future turnout.
"It's a sportsman's paradise, and I've heard nothing but great things," said Riley, whose group will next host the 10th annual Summer Slam on Sept. 12-13 in Fort Myers Beach. "We had another great time and Port of the Islands was just perfect for us."

Paneer Mutter Butter masala
March 22, 2010 by Sandhya Hariharan
This weekend has been quite good with loads of activities... One of them worth mentioning was the Gals Day out :) Leaving our lil ones with the boyz in the house... .. Went out for a movie.. had lunch and a bit of shopping too !! Thanks to our H who have been very supportive and cheerful in sending us to have fun...
Today's post is indeed the paneer mutter butter masala... This is again one of the dishes from my boy's birthday party celebrations !! Soft paneer cubes in rich tomato gravy...
Each one have their own style but never wanted to take any chance with this yet another main course .I browsed and blogged until I composed a satisfactory recipe...
Both my main courses happened to be tomato gravy based.. So the distinct flavours needed to be shown off... This called for an extra attention while preparing it !!I would call this recipe quite a blend of Tarla dalal's , Sanjeev Kapoor's and offcourse with my twist :)
|250gm cut into 16 cubes
|Boiled Green Peas
|1 Cup
|For Frying
|Kitchen Tissues
|2-3 Nos
|Hot Water
|Roughly 1/2 litre
For the gravy:
|Big Tomatoes
|4 Nos
|Double Concentrated tomato puree
|2 Tablespoons
|Tomato Sauce
|1 Tblspn
|Garam masala powder
|1/2 tsp
|Coriander Powder
|1 tsp
|Cumin Powder
|1 tsp
|Turmeric Powder
|1/2 tsp
|to taste
|1 Tblspn
|Low fat Fresh Cream
|1/2 Cup
|SemiSkimmed Milk
|1/2 Cup
|Bay Leaf
|1 Nos
|3 Nos
|4-5 Nos
|Kasturi Methi
|1 Tsp
|Grated Paneer
|2-3 Tblspn
|Chopped Coriander leaves
|for garnishing
For grinding:
|1 Nos
|1" piece
|Garlic Pods
|Red Chilly
- Heat 4 tblspn of oil in a non stick flat pan. Drop in paneer cubes in batches of 4. Fry until we get a light brown color on all the sides. Drain the paneer pieces onto the kitchen towel and immediately drop them into the boiling water containing a bit of salt and turmeric. ( this process will keep the paneer soft & give them a bit of color too)Let them soak in for atleast 10 minutes. Repeat the process for the rest of the pieces.
- Heat butter in a non stick pan , add bay leaf,cloves ,cardamon and saute for a minute. Make a fine paste grinding together Onion, ginger,garlic , cashewnuts and red chillies. Add them and cook till it turns light brown. Meanwhile grind all the 4 tomatoes and keep aside the puree.
- Drop in the double concentrate tomato puree and tomato sauce into the onion mixture over the stove and cook for a minute. Add the set aside tomato puree along with all the powders - turmeric,cumin, coriander ,garam masala and salt .Cook until oil separates from the masala's.
- Drop in the tablespoon full of honey along with milk , cream and about 1/2-3/4th cup of water and allow it to boil. Make sure to cover the gravy with a lid as the tomatoes puree tend to splutter out. Add in Peas along with paneer and the required salt and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Garnish with grated paneer,kasturi methi(remember to fry the methi for few sec on the tava and then crush them between ur palm) & coriander leaves and serve hot with nan or phulkas.

I gave what I could, but it was never as much as I would've liked.
Nine years ago, my brother called me at work to tell me that Mom was in the hospital. She was in bad shape and asking for me. I flew north on the first available flight.
The moment I saw her, I knew she was dying. A couple days later, the doctors confirmed that she had cancer. She had breast cancer that had spread into her lungs. By the time she got to the hospital, it was too late. There was nothing the doctors could do.
She died three weeks later.
I have a good reason for telling you all of this. On Oct. 9, as part of the Ken 2.0 project, I will be participating in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. I've donated to this charity before, but this is the first time that I'm walking.
I'm doing it for my own health, because obesity is a contributing factor to cancer, but mainly I'm doing it for my Mom.
Because I love her. Because I miss her. And because I don't want anyone else to lose someone they love to breast cancer.
I'd like to invite you to join me. I'm probably going to walk the whole 5K, but there are a range of distances you can walk or run. We can spend a little time together or the entire race.
If you cannot join me, please consider making a donation to breast cancer research. I'm trying to raise at least $1,000 but hopefully much more.

Have you ever started a project and just fell into a funk? Lost the innovative mindset you had while working on a project and are just afraid you'll never get it back? There is an answer and its simple. When diving into any task you are in the process of creation, whether it is painting a masterpiece or creating a spreadsheet for your boss. You rely on your senses to "guide" you through the process, and your mastery of the skill gets better through practice. One thing i've come to hold dear to my creative process is Inspiration.
dictionary.com's first post on the meaning of inspiration is as follows. (a few meanings removed)
an inspiring or animating action or influence: I cannot write poetry without inspiration.
something inspired, as an idea.
a result of inspired activity.
a thing or person that inspires.
the act of inspiring; quality or state of being inspired.
the drawing of air into the lungs; inhalation.
Lets break this down a bit and get a handle on true inspiration.
an inspiring or animating action or influence:
The keyword here is influence. Think of your project at hand and find sources that would influence you based on what your final outcome is intended to be. For instance, I'm currently working on a logo project for a jeans company calledRetro Jeans. I needed some kind of influence to kick-start me in the right direction so i went and sought out competitors of the client. I also dove into the true meaning of retro, and i decided to listen to some music that I considered "retro" (George Clinton, Parliment, James Brown, Rick James, some Bossanova, and New Jazz) though its not my favorite, it set the mood for designing for this client. Pandora Radio is a great way to find music pertaining to your influential phrase or idea. Now through the images from their competitors, the meaning behind the word and the music i had pumping into my headphones i believe i came up with a good design (i'd like to share it with you, but since the project is still in progress, i'll wait till the client is 100% satisfied before posting the final result).
something inspired, as an idea:
This goes back to the last paragraph. I used the word retro as my "something inspired" and pulled from it the meanings behind it that i would incorporate into this design. You can use anything that incorporates the basic "idea" into your inspirational gathering. One of my favorite tactics on gathering what the client needs is using their own personal favorites in color, music and food. The first time i asked a client what their favorite food was i got a look of "OMG AR YOU CRAZY!!" but after i explained why i was asking, they were willing to give it to me. The project was completed in about 1/2 the time as normal because i was catering to the clients creative mind. Using this technique you can draw out a mood and sense of what they will be looking for in the final project.
a thing or person that inspires:
Pouring a bit of influence from a person or thing into your bucket of inspiration is a very effective technique. I did both on the Retro Jeans project i was working on. First of all when i though about jeans, what was the first name that popped into my head? Calvin Klein? Levis? Well i went and put on my most comfy pair of Levis and sat there staring at them for about 5 minutes brainstorming the emotions incorporated with wearing a pair of nice jeans. Comfort, Style, Fun, Durability, Relaxation.. all these words popped into my head. I wrote each adjective down as I sat there admiring my Casual Friday. In essence, the physicality of or knowledge from someone or something closely tied to the project at hand gives the inspiration a jump in the right direction.
the act of inspiring; quality or state of being inspired:
Think back on someone you have inspired through your actions or words. Your influence on someone else is a great lesson for getting over that creative funk. If you put yourself in the mentor role, what advice would you give to a friend or colleague to get out of their current funk? Have you ever finished giving advice and said "now if i could only follow my own advice" well, YOU CAN! This is a very important part of inspiration is knowing you are your best source for it. You know how your mind works better than anyone else and can draw on your own experiences of how you've inspired to set yourself up for success. I've been working closely with a friend on her introduction into photo-shopping and showing her techniques and such. One thing that she keeps running into are walls of frustration in not getting the outcome she desired. Of course this will come to her over time with a bit of practice in techniques and such. My advice to her when she would hit these "walls" would be to back away from the project completely and pick it up once her mind wasn't focusing on the frustration. It seemed to work well for her and hearing the elation in her voice after some time had passed on how proud she was of the outcome of her projects gave me a bit of pride knowing that it worked. "now if i could only follow my own advice" *grin*
the drawing of air into the lungs; inhalation:
NOW That is some great advice for inspiration. BREATH!! the act of breathing is neglected more than we care to realize, especially sitting at our desks and working on a project for hours on end. Breathing increases blood flow to the brain which in turn increases awareness and creativity. So in conclusion just breath and reflect a moment. Inspiration comes in many forms, and your techniques for deriving an inspirational bucket to carry with you to your project will be full in no time.
To summarize.
Use your senses, All of them! Music, Art, Quotes, but most importantly use your own personal inspiration you've given to others. Oh and don't forget to breath.

You can learn a lot about a baseball team from its locker room. The clubhouse is where relationships form, character is revealed and leaders speak out (or not). For the major league rookie, clubhouse real estate is valuable — sometimes priceless. Imagine being the rookie who spent eight months out of the year next to Sandy Koufax? Roberto Clemente? Lou Gehrig? Tom Seaver? These were model athletes, wise and humble men, who used their talent to teach.
Today in New York Mets History: August 4, 1982 – Former New York Met Joel Youngblood became the first player in Major League history to get a base hit for two different teams in two different cities in the same day. He started the day as a New York Met and collected a two-run single off Ferguson Jenkins in the third inning at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs. Youngblood was notified he was traded to the Montreal Expos in the fourth inning. He grabbed his bats, left the ballpark and caught a flight to Philadelphia in time for the Expos-Phillies game. He pinch-hit in the seventh inning and singled off Steve Carlton.
Joel Youngblood played for six teams over his 14-year Major League Baseball career – including two in one day. It happened 30 years ago today on August 4, 1982; Youngblood's longest, and in an odd way, his most productive day, as a major league player.
Every year since 1977, New York Mets fans have viewed the Major League Baseball trade deadline as the darkest day in team history.
The trade deadline – June 15, 1977 – was the day the Mets traded Tom Seaver.

For three days in April, the world of aviation was focused on one city and one airport – Memphis and Memphis International – as the prestigious Airport Cities World Conference and Exposition came to town. It was, without a doubt, the largest gathering of its kind ever assembled in Memphis, and the city did not disappoint.
A record number of 630 exhibitors, delegates and speakers from more than 40 countries attended the event, and media from around the world followed the news and activities. While many in attendance were familiar with the concept of an Aerotropolis, very few had actually experienced one. In conjunction with the Greater Memphis Chamber, and the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority made sure that the international guests came away with a full understanding of our community as a destination for business and tourism. Delegates came away understanding not just how an Airport City works, but how a Quadra-Model transportation center (Runway, Road, Rail and River) works together for the common community benefit…more »
One of the most concrete benefits of the Airport Cities Conference was the signing of a letter of intent between business and government officials from Memphis and Paris to foster closer trade ties and develop mutually supportive Aerotropolis activities, all growing from their respective FedEx hubs.
The signing ceremony included Maurice Leroy, France's minister of urban planning; Memphis Mayor AC Wharton; and Larry Cox, CEO of Memphis International Airport. Development of mutually beneficial bio-medical, time sensitive and high value manufacturing, and products and business centered on the activities at the two airports is the focus of the pact. Paris and Memphis are the primary FedEx hubs for North America and Europe, and the agreement is intended to make it easier for the two cities to do business building for the hubs.
With the inclusion of China's Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, a global network covering the world's airports can be created.
Signing the letter of intent between Memphis and Paris are (left to right): John Moore, President & CEO, Greater Memphis Chamber; Larry Cox, President & CEO, Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority; Arnold Perl, Chairman, Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority; Memphis Mayor AC Wharton, Jr.; Maurice Leroy, French Minister of the City, in charge of the major urban project called "Le Grand Paris"; Jean-Claude Detilleux, President of PREDA/Hubstart Paris©; François Cangardel, Real Estate Director, member of the executive board; and Alain Chaillé, President of Aerotropolis Europe.

Fox says "no, sweetie darling" to US AbFab
After seeing how some UK shows have been mangled in the American adaptation -- Life on Mars (although it had its fans), Worst Week, Coupling, Eleventh Hour -- I am glad that the only Ab/Fab I will ever have to savor will be the original.
The fact is that even with Jennifer Saunders on board to work on the American version, Absolutely Fabulous was an essentially British show. It was also a show of its time, the '90s. Eddy and Patsy's antics were outrageously topical, including all the arcane British references to pop culture, drugs, booze, fashion, PR and cosmetic surgery.
Updating it for now and adding American stars, even someone as terrific as Kristen Johnson playing Patsy Stone, was never going to capture the magic of the original. No actresses were ever going to match the career best performances put in by Jennifer Saunders (Edina Monsoon), Joanna Lumly (Patsy), Julia Sawalha (Saffy), June Whitfield (Grandma) and Jane Horrocks (Bubble).
Now, I know someone out there is going to tell me that I'm wrong. It's okay, we're allowed to disagree. And it's true that a great UK comedy like The Office has managed to find its own excellent comic vibe after NBC gave it some time to grow, but the odds were against AbFab. So, today I'm just as glad to check out the BBC America schedule and watch the original in reruns, because there, sweetie, darling, those laughs will never fade away.

The eight bands and the audience at the evening event were treated to unseasonably warm temperatures and almost no wind, allowing the sound to fill the Buccaneer Stadium without being chilled or blown away.
Montague was first place of the four bands in Class C — which also included Whitehall, Fremont and Shelby. The 40-piece Montague band performed music from "Chicago: the Musical."
Spring Lake High School finished second in Class B, less than a point behind Fruitport, with what some parents said was their best performance of the season playing "An American Portrait: the Music of Aaron Copeland."
Mona Shores opted for a noncompetitive Division I rating.
GH band director Iain Novoselich said he was "extremely happy with how the event ran, outstanding participating groups, and great weather with an appreciate audience. Our boosters did a tremendous job setting up and running the competition, and I am looking forward to hosting the event next year."
The Buccaneer band will enter its next competition Saturday at the DeWitt Marching Band Invitational. They will also perform Friday night at the school's home football game.
Spring Lake will perform at Homecoming on Friday night.
Invitational point scoring:
Class C: Montague, 78.4, directed by Emma LaVoie; Whitehall, 77.5; and Fremont 64.8. Shelby opted to go for the Division I noncompetitive rating.
Class B: Fruitport, 85.4 with best color guard, directed by Donald Showich; Spring Lake, 84.9, with best percussion.
Class A: Muskegon, 83.2, best color guard, directed by Janice Lawrence, Brad Taylor, Nick Mosley and Eric Joslin; Mona Shores opted for Division I noncompetitive rating and also received best percussion.

Pediatric Hospital Support in NY*NJ*CT
|Starlight-sponsored murals in outpatient clinic at NY Hospital Queens.
Working in concert with hospital staff, Starlight created a unique hospital program that provides psychosocial support for our partner hospitals. The primary objective is to restore a feeling of safety, confidence, and trust to patients and their families during a time of tremendous distress.
|One of two wheelchair-adaptive vans sponsored by Starlight.
Access to art, music, and dance therapies are among the many ways in which Starlight provides support in hospitals for pediatric patients and their families. Fun, creative outlets like karate, horticulture, adapted yoga for severely disabled children, and video art enhance emotional and physical health simultaneously. Children with chronic physical health struggles often suffer from depression and low self-esteem. The opportunity to enjoy these skill-building hobbies and activities raises confidence and promotes optimism. These programs have a significant and positive impact on the hospitalized child and the entire family.
