Here's a tip: After you have asked three times for your child to do something, stop being verbal and resort to gestures.
It's one of those little annoyances that kids will do to manipulate us parents and caregivers for attention. Let's face it, they all love the sound of mommy's voice and the more they hear it, the more satisfied they are!
Sit down!
Come around the bed!
Give to mommy!
Wipe your chin!
Lay still!
Don't move!
The list is endless, but you needn't go hoarse repeating yourself. If you don't know sign language that's okay. Invent a gesture for each command. Using the command will switch gears in their brains where they go from auditory to visual and it may be enough to get the response you are looking for.

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 45 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by STITCH LOVE IT! This is a great makeup mirror! Exactly as promised... travels well even when checked in suitcase at the airport. May 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 4mickey6 I had to give some extra thought before purchasing this item because of some of the reviews. Ignore the negatives. This is a great mirror and I recommend it highly. No item can be 100% positive but come on. July 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buyer2306 Handy lighted mirror Lighted mirror which really works in low light. You have to get very close to the mirror to see yourself correctly, but then you can see everything! It will be great for putting on make-up while traveling and at home. Leans back a bit more than I like, but it's workable. July 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by queenbee Necessary Travel Companion Finally, I won't be guessing what face I present to the world. The travel mirror is great. I can actually see with the 10X magnification and the lighting chases away all shadows that make applying makeup impossible. The folding stand is also helpful and leaves hands free. This is one necessary companion I will never leave home without! August 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TheWu Packable Pro Travel Mirror Returned the item because I did not read the description. It would be great if you wanted magnification only. It was compact and had a good design for packing. August 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GrammyRose Nice mirror This is exactly what I needed. I use a 10x mirror at home and needed on for travel. The lighted feature is a real plus. September 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GailJW Absolutely perfect mirror! I have been looking for a lighted mirror that would travel well and this really fit the bill. It is very thin so it fits easily in a smaller suitcase and it stands at a perfect angle. I used it immediately and wonder how I ever traveled without it! October 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PaminTexas Love the mirror This fits flat and is so much better than trying to look through a 3" mirror! Top folds back to make a stand which is nice. November 27, 2013

Here's how RW members rated this race (476 votes).
In short: Excellent, challenging eventIn full: But six minutes slower my PB! Roll on next year...Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Brilliant raceIn full: My first marlow half and will add this to my list of races. Excellent marshalling and organisation, great scenery and a tough course, 10 out of 10.I would also like to wish the guy who had to go to hospital a speedy recovery and best wishes to his family. Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Fantastic, will definately be back next year!Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: There are worse ways to spend a Sunday (honest!)In full: No need to trek to New England to see the striking autumnal colours when the Marlow Half is on your doorstep.A great day out with even the weather proving ideal. The 'pool' at the top of one of the hills was a leftover from the previous night's rain, and made sure that you didn't finish as dry as you started.Marshals were brilliant and full of enthusiasm and encouragement; I'm only sorry that I was too knackered to thank them as I passed!Realistically, a PB was never on the cards here, on a course which I hear has been voted the third hardest half in the country. I did manage to shave a couple of minutes off my previous visit from 2005 though, and was pleased enough with that.Of the course, I could only really remember the hill at the 8 mile stage. In reality it wasn't as bad as I remembered. That's not to say it is easy; I ran the whole course, but it still took me ages to overtake the chap in front who walked up.Organisation was excellent, and the medical emergency near the finish served to test all involved.I'm sure I speak for all participants in thanking both the club and ambulance services for their professionalism, and also wishing the runner involved a speedy recovery.Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: enjoyed it a lot ... not sure why In full: must be the atmosphere and organisation, not the hill at mile 8! Easy 2 miles downhill to finish blunts the memory of the uphills which went before. Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: loved itIn full: This is the second time iv run this race, it just gets better, i knocked 6 minutes of my time and got 1:35 so i was very pleased with that and shocked, I will be back again next year cheers Marlow Striders...Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Hilly half a good sunday training runDate of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Hills, Hills and more hills with a few downhillsIn full: Again, well done Marlow Striders for putting on an excellent event. I knocked 7-8 mins off from last years race so I am really pleased on that course. Was delighted to receive a spot prize for a whole body spray tanning treatment from a nice lady at the finish. She must of thought I looked deserving of a good holiday! Weather just right, didn't even mind the floods as I made headway through the middle while others were picking their way around the edges.Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Tough and Hilly CourseIn full: Good Organistion and friendly atmosphere. This is a tough course due to the number of hills and undulations.Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: I found the hills very difficult but I don't do hills normally.In full: I found the hills very difficult but I don't do hills normally.Date of review: November 3, 2008

Everything You've Heard About Failing Schools Is Wrong, writes Kristina Rizga in Mother Jones after spending 18 months "embedded" at San Francisco's Mission High. Rizga followed a Salvadoran girl who'd joined her mother in the U.S. after the rape, torture and murder of her beloved aunt.
At a San Francisco middle school, Maria learned almost no English in a special class for immigrants and then in a mainstream class.
At Mission High, the struggling school she'd chosen against the advice of her friends and relatives, Maria earned high grades in math and some days caught herself speaking English even with her Spanish-speaking teachers. By 11th grade, she wrote long papers on complex topics like desegregation and the war in Iraq. She became addicted to winning debates in class, despite her shyness and heavy accent. In her junior year, she became the go-to translator and advocate for her mother, her aunts, and for other Latino kids at school. In March, Maria and her teachers were celebrating acceptance letters to five colleges and two prestigious scholarships, including one from Dave Eggers' writing center, 826 Valencia.
But Maria, who's still learning English vocabulary, scores poorly on state exams. Despite a rising graduation and college-going rate, Mission High scores among the lowest-performing 5 percent of schools in the country.
The article — go ahead, read the whole thing — reminded me of The New Kids, a book on a small New York City high school for recent immigrants. The school pushes all students –who come from Tibet, Africa, Haiti, China, you name it — to college. But they're way, way behind in reading, writing and math. Some have missed years of schooling. Or they just haven't had enough time to learn English. Can they really make it in college without the mentoring their high school provides? If the problem is just weak English skills, the super-motivated probably can. But what makes sense for the rest?

Dartmouth Wins Third Straight
from press release
WORCESTER, Mass. — The Dartmouth men's
lacrosse team improved its winning streak to three games on
Wednesday with a 16-7 victory at Holy Cross. The Big Green improved
to 3-1 on the season, and the Crusaders dropped to 0-4.
Freshman Jeff Perkins (Dallas, Texas) scored his first three career goals on Sunday against Mercer and continued the scoring streak by tallying five goals against Holy Cross. Perkins also added an assist in the contest for seven points. He now has eight goals on the season and nine points. Sophomore Nikki Dysenchuck (Darien, Conn.) and junior Drew Tunney (Greenwich, Conn.) each added three goals to help pace the team.
After the Crusaders tied the game at 3-3 with 26 seconds left in the first period, the Big Green scored nine straight goals to blow the game open and take a 12-3 lead. The run spanned 21:15 of game time and Perkins scored three of the nine goals.
Dartmouth scored two man-up goals in the contest and a man-down score. Junior Fergus Campbell (New Canaan, Conn.) made eight saves in net to earn the victory. Junior Kip Dooley (Minneapolis, Minn.) had five points in the game on two goals and three assists. He leads the team in points on the season with 14 on six goals and eight assists.
It is the first three-game winning streak for Dartmouth since the 2007 season when the team won four straight.
The Big Green next play on their spring break trip when they play at Duke on Sunday, March 20, at 1 p.m.

N. Y. Power Authority Expects First Allocations Under Recharge New York In April: Power deliveries on track for July 1 for Governor's new statewide power program
Michael Saltzman
(914) 390-8181
March 26, 2012
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) announced Monday that it is continuing the competitive review of more than 1,000 applications from businesses and not-for-profit organizations for the ReCharge New York (RNY) Program, a lower-cost power initiative signed into law last year by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for retaining and creating jobs throughout New York State from a mix of NYPA hydropower and economical market power sources.
Due to the large number of applications and the extensive information being evaluated on such matters as applicants' power needs and plans for capital investments for protecting or creating jobs, the first power allocations from the 910-megawatt (MW) program are likely to be made at the regular meeting of the NYPA Board of Trustees on April 24, instead of its March 27 meeting. This will not affect the July 1 statutory implementation date when RNY power will begin to flow to initial customers under long-term contracts of up to seven years.
Under the ReCharge New York legislation, the New York State Economic Development Power Allocation Board—a four-member board established in 1987—will recommend the RNY allocations to the NYPA trustees on the basis of various criteria. In addition to jobs and capital investments, they include the extent to which an allocation would be consistent with existing regional economic development strategies, applicant's risk of closure or curtailing operations, the significance of the applicant's facility to the local economy, and its commitment to maximize energy efficiency.
"NYPA staff has been thoroughly engaged for months in reviewing a vast amount of data and other information from applications submitted by prospective ReCharge New York customers," said James F. Pasquale, NYPA senior vice president, Marketing and Economic Development. "We've made great progress in the competitive review of the applications for ReCharge New York and are looking forward to the first recommendations and allocations in April, as we work to maximize the economic development benefits in the state."
ReCharge New York will replace two other statewide programs—the Power for Jobs and Energy Cost Savings Benefit—that expire on June 30. The economic development benefits of those programs, which NYPA has also administered, have been limited by the short terms of their state legislative extensions and the lack of statutory provision for adding new customers. The long-term contracts to be provided under RNY will provide businesses with electricity-rate stability for investing in their facilities, which is especially important for energy-intensive enterprises such as manufacturers and to their ability to add new jobs.
Unlike its predecessor programs, RNY allows for new allocations from the assigned pool of power, including a block of 455 MW of low-cost hydropower from NYPA's Niagara and St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt projects that is being made available for eligible employers for the first time.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

The Americano is an irresistible summer cooler.
For July, our most patriotic month, serve Americano cocktails all around. Some sources say the cocktail got its name because Americans traveling in Italy (where the drink originated) took a shine to it. And who wouldn�t? Combining the spicy, bitter-orange refreshment of Campari with the sweetness of vermouth and the fizz of club soda, it�s an irresistible summer cooler. Whatever the name�s origin, think of it as a nod to our good taste. For each cocktail: 1 �ounce Campari 1 �ounce sweet vermouth 1 �ounce club soda Orange peel twist and/or orange slice 1. Pour the Campari and vermouth over ice in a rocks glass. Add a splash of club soda. Garnish with both an orange peel twist and/or orange slice. For a fantastic�patriotic�meal, check out the menu below. Relish wine and cocktails columnist WINI MORANVILLE guides you to the best wine and spirits for the money.

International assistance for Mali
French troops bound for Mali
© picture alliance / abaca
France and a number of African states have helped to stop the advance of Islamist groups in Mali. Speaking on 13 January, Foreign Minister Westerwelle said that it was right for France to have responded to the Malian Government's call for help. He emphasized that there was no question of German combat troops being deployed. However, the German Government is considering how it can support France without involvement in military action.
Speaking on the telephone to his French counterpart, Laurent Fabius, on 14 January, Foreign Minister Westerwelle conveyed the German Government's offer to examine together with the French Government how Germany – which will not be sending combat troops – can support the French mission in political, logistical, medical and humanitarian terms. The Ministers agreed that the two Governments should liaise closely on this.
The French Government intervened in the conflict on 11 January, in response to a plea from the Government of Mali and in accordance with international law. Several African states also took part in the move. Previously, Islamist groups already in control of large parts of northern Malihad advanced as far as Konna, a town around 700 kilometres to the north-east of the capital, Bamako.
In an emergency session held on 10 January, the United Nations Security Council noted that the worsening situation was a threat to Mali's stability and to international peace and security. This was after the Council adopted Resolution 2085 (2012) on 20 December 2012, which authorizes an African-led International Support Mission in Mali (AFISMA).
The West African state of Mali has been beset by severe crisis since early 2012. Fighting between Government troops and Tuareg rebels broke out in the north of the country in January 2012. The situation was then exacerbated by a coup in March 2012, in which sections of the military overthrew President Touré. Islamist groups managed to gain control of large parts of northern Mali during the coup and the related unrest.
A roadmap for transition is indispensable
Foreign Minister Westerwelle declared on 13 January that Germanywholehearted supported African efforts to mediate a political process. "For a durable settlement of the Maliconflict," he said, "can only be achieved through a political solution under which constitutional order is restored throughout Mali and the justified concerns of the North are addressed."

In its statement issued on 10 January, the Security Council also reiterated its call for the various forces in Mali to produce a roadmap for political transition and the restoration of constitutional order.
A roadmap which covers the whole of Mali is also seen as a precondition of European Union support in the form of training for Mali's armed forces. The EU Foreign Ministers on 10 December 2012 approved a Crisis Management Concept to serve as the basis for an EU training mission for Mali. Minister Westerwelle announced on 13 January that the planning process for this training mission was underway. Westerwelle advocates a swift decision on the part of the EU Foreign Ministers about how to proceed, perhaps in the context of a special session.
According to United Nations estimates, more than 410,000 people have had to leave northern Mali so far, fleeing a conflict which is reported to be affecting around 5 million people.

Integers are your primary data-type for number storage.
On the Arduino Uno (and other ATMega based boards) an
int stores a 16-bit (2-byte) value. This yields a range of -32,768 to 32,767 (minimum value of -2^15 and a maximum value of (2^15) - 1).
On the Arduino Due and SAMD based boards (like MKR1000 and Zero), an
int stores a 32-bit (4-byte) value. This yields a range of -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 (minimum value of -2^31 and a maximum value of (2^31) - 1).
int's store negative numbers with a technique called 2's complement math. The highest bit, sometimes referred to as the "sign" bit, flags the number as a negative number. The rest of the bits are inverted and 1 is added.
The Arduino takes care of dealing with negative numbers for you, so that arithmetic operations work transparently in the expected manner. There can be an unexpected complication in dealing with the bitshift right operator (>>) however.
int ledPin = 13;
int var = val;
When variables are made to exceed their maximum capacity they "roll over" back to their minimum capacity, note that this happens in both directions. Example for a 16-bit int:
int x; x = -32768; x = x - 1; // x now contains 32,767 - rolls over in neg. direction x = 32767; x = x + 1; // x now contains -32,768 - rolls over

My kids love these, 4 a day, every day
Posted by LantauMama on Jun 02, 2013
My kids are 6 and 7 now, and have been taking these for 4 years. We call them 'fish bubbles' and the kids happily eat the recommended 4 a day. When they were much younger we used the oil... terrible smell. Then we used some other capsules but if any of the liquid touched anything the smell was awful and would not wash out. These are great, no awful smell, great tasting, and easy to eat - my kids love their 'fish bubbles'
excellent taste
Posted by Reviewer1637065 on Jun 04, 2013
My daughter loves this fish oil. It has a great fresh strawberry flavour without the sugar that some other childrens fish oils have. she will happily pop them in her mouth. Highly recommend this.
Kids love them!
Posted by eathealthy on Jun 29, 2013
We started giving these to our son around 18 months of age. They are like a treat to kids and have a delightful strawberry flavor. Our naturopath suggested we give these for brain/eye development and to reduce allergies and eczema. They help to nourish the immune system so that it doesn't overreact. Highly recommended.If you like my review check out my page by clicking eathealthy in blue above to see reviews of all the products I have purchased from iHerb!
Love them

Great taste!

It's unbelievable, but my autistic kid (5) who is very picky about food likes these soft gels, so I'm happy!
toddlers like them and I do too!

My granddaughter has been chewing these since she was 2 (4 yrs now). I started chewing them also and discovered they are an easy alternative to swallowing adult-sized capsules or spoonfuls of cod liver oil.

When I first received these I thought that my kids would never take these. To my surprise they liked them better than the gummy fruit variety. They always ask for their juicy vitamin because they are liquid filled.

Disney Purchases Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 Billion USD, Episode VII Set for 2015 Release
Tiffany Kaiser

Bob Iger and George Lucas
(Source: The Walt Disney Company)
Disney will make Episodes 7, 8 and 9 as well
"Star Wars" will be making its way back to the big screen now that The Walt Disney Company has acquired Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 billion USD.
Disney said it is buying Lucasfilm Ltd. with cash and stock, and the deal includes Lucasfilm's high-tech production companies (Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound) and the rights to the "Indiana Jones" franchise.
Even though George Lucas, the creator of
"Star Wars"
and founder of Lucasfilm Ltd., said he was done making new versions of his mega popular epic space opera, he's going to allow Disney to bring "Star Wars" back to life.
Disney is currently working on a new "Star Wars" trilogy, beginning with "Episode 7." The new episode is due out in 2015, and Episodes 8 and 9 will shortly follow. According to Disney, the new trilogy will follow Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo beyond "Return of the Jedi," which was the third film in the original trilogy (but is chronologically the sixth film in the franchise).
"For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see 'Star Wars' passed from one generation to the next," said Lucas. "It's now time for me to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers. I've always believed that 'Star Wars' could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime."
Kathleen Kennedy, the current co-chairman of Lucasfilm, will become the president of the unit. She will also be executive producer for the new trilogy.
Kennedy has been working with Lucas and a team of writers to discuss the storyline for "Episode 7." Kennedy said it's essential to have Lucas present as a key advisor during the making of the next trilogy, and she even referred to him as "her Yoda." Lucas has provided his story lines for the new trilogy.
"I always said I wasn't going to do any more and that's true, because I'm not going to do any more, but that doesn't mean I'm unwilling to turn it over to Kathy to do more," said Lucas.
Lucas has received quite a bit of criticism in the recent past due to his decisions involving "Star Wars." Despite creating the hugely popular original trilogy in the 1970s and 80s, he quickly became the bad guy when
the second trilogy
was released. Many fans disliked the new story line, which took place prior to the original trilogy. Fans also hated new characters, such as Jar Jar Binks.
To make matters worse, Lucas
changed some key details in the original trilogy
(such as the scene where Greedo takes the first shot at Han Solo in a bar) and released 3D versions of the movies earlier this year, marking Lucas as a "sell out."
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007

Wide Gamut Color Examples
These images display the wide gamut capabilities of HD View.
Each image was processed from RAW in Photoshop with ProPhoto as
the working color space. The left half of the image was
converted to sRGB 8bit then back to ProPhoto 16bit. The
net effect is a ProPhoto image with the left half clipped to the
sRGB gamut. These images are then
exported to HD View in the
ProPhoto space. On a calibrated wide gamut monitor such as
Samsung XL20 the difference between left half and right half
of the image is very noticeable. On an sRGB monitor there
will be no difference between left half and right half.

Jaime Hernandez: For modern coins issued from 1965 to date, the Proof 1990 No S Lincoln cent is considered a beast, to say the least.
Primarily because less than 200 examples exist. It is from an extremely dynamic and popular series. It is the only proof coin from 1909 to 2009 or in the entire Lincoln cent series, which is missing the extremely significant mint mark. The coin exist against all odds. Moreover, the missing mint mark is clearly transparent, even with the naked eye.
First of all, in 1985 the U.S. Mint abandoned the practice of punching mint marks on to working coin dies and instead, it began punching the mint mark directly on to the working hubs. However, the 1990 No S Proof Lincoln cent was inadvertently struck by a mint state die which was accidentally treated like a proof die.
This occurred since the Mint inadvertently shipped a mint state die to the San Francisco Mint without the die containing the S mint mark. This mint state die was then polished, sand blasted, struck several times and remarkably, it was then transformed into a proof die, or what I like to call a beast! Amazingly, the 1990 No S Proof Lincoln cents deceived both the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints.
The 1990 No S Lincoln cents were first discovered on July 18, 1990 by Jim Gullen of New York. Following the discovery, the U.S. Mint publicly announced that several 1990 Proof Lincoln cents with missing mint marks were accidentally struck at the San Francisco Mint. The Mint also confirmed the destruction of 145 examples of the 1990 No S Proof Lincoln cents.
The 1990 No S Proof Lincoln cents were found in regular 1990 Proof Sets as well as being found in 1990 Prestige Proof Sets. At the time, the Mint was producing approximately about 3,700 proof Lincoln cents from each pair of dies. Therefore, in the early 1990's most collectors and dealers had the notion that thousands of 1990 No S Proof Lincoln cents existed. However, time would contradict these figures and prove otherwise, since less than 200 coins have surfaced.
The estimate of less than 200 coins existing is due to the simple fact that these coins are seldom encountered. For approximately 20 years, the approximate figure of fewer than 200 coins extant has remained somewhat stable. For years, there have not been any reports of more 1990 No S Proof Lincoln cents being discovered. The majority of 1990 Proof and Prestige sets have been inspected. Dealers, collectors and cherry pickers of both modern and classic coins are well aware of this variety, especially, since it commands thousands of dollars even in the lowest grades. Lastly, this coin is hardly encountered in any major dealers inventory or even at some of the major auctions, where only a few examples make an appearance every year.
The 1990 Proof Lincoln cent with the No S mint mark is also amidst several other proof No S mint mark coins. These include the 1976 No S Eisenhower Dollar, the 1968, 1970, 1975, and 1983 No S dimes. Also the 1971 No S nickel.
All seven different proof No S coins have always been very popular and have always commanded huge premiums. Completing a set of proof No S coins is practically impossible. Primarily, because there is only one 1976 Proof No S Ike known. The 1976 No S proof Ike is the scarcest of all the No S proof coins. The 1975 no S dime is the second scarcest, with two examples known. The 1968 No S Dime being the third scarcest, with only about a dozen examples known. Finally, the 1990 No S Lincoln cent being the third scarcest of the No S coins, with less than 200 examples known.

A painting of President Obama in a crucifixion pose — complete with a crown of thorns on his head — has gone on display at Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery in Boston. It's just a metaphor (duh!), said artist Michael D'Antuono. He blamed conservative media for "trying to promote the idea that liberals believe the president to literally be our savior," reports Fox News.
A campus museum can raise a community college's profile and attract donors. Actor Vincent Price, known for his roles in horror films such as "The Fly," donated 2,000 works of art to what's now known as the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College.

Maryland Adds Bernhardts to Round Out Coaching Staff
from Press Release
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland men's lacrosse coach John Tillman announced today that Jake and Jesse Bernhardt have returned to the program as members of the coaching staff. Jesse will be the Terps' volunteer assistant coach, while Jake will serve as the program's director of lacrosse operations.
"I'm thrilled to welcome back Jake and Jesse as members of our staff," said Tillman. "They are two of the finest student-athletes I've had the privilege to coach. I'm pleased to welcome them back to College Park. As sons of a successful and well-respected coach, they possess the character and work ethic that you want the players in your program to be exposed to. In addition, they understand the importance and great tradition of Maryland Lacrosse."
Jesse Bernhardt returns as the volunteer assistant coach and will be helping with the Terps' overall defense, man-down unit and faceoff wings. Jesse was a two-time All-America long pole midfielder for Maryland from 2010-13, helping lead the Terps to the 2011 ACC tournament title and back-to-back appearances in the NCAA championship game in 2011 and 2012. After graduating in 2013, Bernhardt continued his lacrosse career in Major League Lacrosse, where he helped the Chesapeake Bayhawks capture the 2013 MLL Championship as a starting close defender. He is currently one of 52 players competing for a spot on the U.S. National Team that will compete at the 2014 FIL World Championships in Denver in July.
"Jesse was like a coach on the field for us for the past couple of seasons, so it's a natural fit for him to come back in a coaching capacity," said Tillman. "His experience this past summer, playing close defense for the Bayhawks and his continuing experience with Team USA gives him a broader perspective and some fresh ideas to bring to the program."
As the director of lacrosse operations, Jake Bernhardt will be involved with every aspect of the Terrapin program from an administrative perspective, including overseeing team travel and meals, camp operations, practice scheduling and helping coordinate with the program's other support units, including academics, community engagement, equipment, marketing, media relations and sports medicine. Bernhardt was a successful two-way midfielder from 2009-11 and 2013, helping the Terps win the 2011 ACC tournament title and reach the 2011 NCAA championship game. After graduating in 2013, Bernhardt continued his lacrosse career as a member of the MLL's Ohio Machine.
"Jake was a two-time captain and his responsibilities as a leader in our program will be invaluable. He is passionate, organized and very bright. Brian Phipps and Fran Gormley set a high bar here in their role in this position, but I am confident that Jake will do a terrific job as well." said Tillman.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Thomas Jefferson, our least Christian president
(RNS) This Fourth of July, after the parades are over, I propose we all devote a few minutes to remembering our least Christian president. Instead of reading David Barton, go straight to Thomas Jefferson himself and to the words he chose to deliver on his first day as president. By Stephen Prothero.

Despite a diverse representation of thirty-plus national territories, the Caribbean is often categorized as a homogeneous entity of tropical fun in the sun. However, originality and the unexpected still prevail within the palm-fringed utopias christened by Christopher Columbus back in that fateful year of 1492. In fact, the island Columbus affectionately dubbed the "Fat Virgin" for its strikingly awkward shape boasts an aura and splendor completely dissimilar from the Caribbean's predictable carbon copies.
More remote than its U.S. and British Virgin Island counterparts, sparsely populated Virgin Gorda teems with distinctive gifts of spiritual enchantment and untouched natural endowment. At the "Fat Virgin's" extremities two world-class resorts, Biras Creek and Little Dix Bay, so perfectly champion the island's intended simplicity and matchless serenity.
Isolated on a 140-acre peninsula of tropical desert and downy sands, accessible only by boat or helicopter, Biras Creek Resort merges luxury, adventure, and sumptuous seclusion. The expansive resort lies at the crossroads of North Sound lagoon, the Caribbean bay, and the open Atlantic Ocean, presenting a wealth of opportunity for unadulterated aquatic bliss. Paddleboards, Hobie cats, and kayaks are just the beginning. Complimentary snorkeling excursions depart daily to assorted underwater hot spots. Unlimited use of the house Boston Whalers (small but powerful motorized boats) facilitates a journey of personal discovery to surrounding reefs and lesser-known islets of the BVIs. Add some great hiking trails, personal bicycles, tennis courts, and horseback riding to the mix, and time at Biras Creek plays out like a limitless session of adult recess.
But it's not all about outdoor rapture. Relaxation is also high on the Biras agenda. Oversized hammocks sway between picture perfect palm trees along crystalline Deep Bay – the ideal locale for a good read, a sun kissed nap, or a refreshing swim. The plunge pools of the superbly appointed Grand Suites and Premiere Suites spill over the rising tides of Berchers Bay. These suites exude a barefoot luxe decadence that has made Biras a Relais & Châteaux favorite for years. Most importantly, the resort's intentionally limited inventory – 28 suites – allows the utmost personal and private experience of this unspoiled paradise.
For couples and families less keen on the constant Robinson Crusoe solitude and the physical fitness motif, Little Dix Bay is a stylish and sophisticated pampering sanctuary along one of the most verdant and stunning stretches of Virgin Gorda. Little Dix offers accommodations ranging from boutique beachfront bungalows to luxe treehouses to phenomenal villas with jaw-dropping views of the island. These exquisite panoramas also serve as the backdrop for the outdoor SENSE spa and the hilltop infinity pool. Flawless tropical design and downy sands notwithstanding, Little Dix's most unique feature is the signature "Beach Drop" experience, where the resort houseboat delivers guests to a dozen outstanding beaches across the island. While the impressive, labyrinthine rock formation 'The Baths' and surrounding Devil's Bay remain the most requested stop, the majority of these fantasy drop points are clandestine, uninhabited bays flaunting the emerald and azure hues of Caribbean dreams.
Whether you exhibit a type A or type B vacation personality (or a little bit of both), Biras Creek Resort and Little Dix Bay are two of the most unforgettable and inspirational experiences in all the Caribbean.
For your escape to Biras Creek Resort, visit www.biras.com or call 877.883.0756. To experience Little Dix Bay, visit www.littledixbay.com or call 888.ROSEWOOD.

Current Finest Possible Set Rating
: 66.913
View Set Composition
( Shop )
For circulation strike coins the Liberty Seated dime series is filled with key dates and tremendous condition rarities. It is also filled with wonderful values, as many low population rarities in MS65 or better can be purchased for a few thousand dollars.
The proofs offer more challenge as many issues are rare. PCGS has only certified one example of many of the dates and zero examples of a few others! Starting with the incredibly pretty 1837 No Stars and continuing on for two decades, there are only two proofs that are relatively easy to locate (1856 and 1857) and even those are great rarities when compared to most U. S. coins. It might take a lifetime to complete this set, but what an accomplishment it would be!
Notes: This set has bonuses. Please see the Set Composition for a listing.

|Fila Sentinel Women's Shoe Scores
|Arch Support
|Foot Support/Stability
|Overall Sole Durability
|Toe Durability
The Sentinel, the newest shoe offering from Fila, comes in a modern package while offering solid support for quick movers on the court. Worn by touring pros Julia Goerges and Jelena Jankovic, the Sentinel raised our playtesters' curiosity. They laced up their Sentinels, took to the courts and quickly found that Fila hit the nail on the head when it comes to support, stability and durability. With fresh color options and a six-month outsole guarantee, Fila Sentinel proves to be a great choice for players looking for a stable shoe.
First things first with these Fila Sentinels. They do require a bit of a break-in. All three of our playtesters agreed that it took a minimum of two hours to open these shoes up and find optimal comfort. Brittany said the break-in period allowed the shoes to "mold around my feet, and let the upper loosen up a bit." She added, "I found these shoes to have a good amount of cushioning throughout the shoe, especially under the heel and around the ankle. I would describe the cushioning as very plush and pillowy."
"No wonder Fila went with the name Sentinel for this shoe," began Karly. "They sure kept an eye out for the comfort of my feet. With all the padding, comfort was easily the standout feature of this shoe. I never experienced any rubbing or pinching, and I was really happy with the soft feel of the shoe. There was just a slight break-in needed, but it only took about two hours for most of the stiffness to go away."
Disagreeing slightly was Michelle. She felt the cushioning was adequate, but she didn't consider it a plush shoe. She said, "I never felt like it lacked cushioning, but it wasn't as soft or pillowy as some of the shoes we have recently playtested. I did experience some rubbing on the outside of my big toe on both feet. I also wanted to note that I experienced a bit of knee soreness after wearing these shoes, which isn't normal for me, and is part of the reason why the comfort score is on the lower side."
Our playtesters agreed ventilation was not a strong suit for the Sentinel, even with the added mesh in the shoe's upper. Karly said, "It didn't take much time for me to want to take them off once my hit was over. Ventilation was missing from this shoe entirely. The shoes felt very hot once I got my heart-rate up and started to sweat. The temperature turned into a real distraction."
"The ventilation was not great in these shoes, but that's never a deal breaker for me," Michelle commented. However, she did have an issue because the lack of ventilation caused her feet to sweat. She noted, "The colorway that I wore (white/teal/grey) did bleed through onto my socks and some of the white parts of my shoe. Again, it wasn't a deal breaker for me, but I did have to start wearing black socks because these shoes turned several pairs of white socks blue."
Chiming in about the lack of ventilation, Brittany added, "I struggled with the ventilation of this shoe. While there is a fair amount of mesh on the upper, I didn't find a lot of air circulation and my feet were definitely heating up. As soon as I finished playing tennis I had to remove my shoes and change my socks. We are playtesting these shoes in the summer, and that makes the lack of ventilation even more noticeable."
The Sentinels provided good support for Michelle's high arches. She said, "I enjoyed how this shoe felt a bit snug around the arches and gave me a supportive feel in that area. I felt like the shoe held my foot well in the arch area."
However, Brittany struggled with the arch supports, explaining, "For some reason, the arch support of this shoe did not work for my medium arches. I thought that the support on my inner arches was a tad on the low side and wasn't giving me enough support. On the other hand (or should I say foot), the lateral arch support was too high, making my outer arches ache."
Karly added, "I usually don't have any issues with arch support, and I didn't here. The support was just fine for me. My arches never ached, so no complaints from me!"
Although the Sentinel lacks ventilation, it made up for it in the area of support and stability. All of our playtesters found this shoe to be very stable, and it gave them the right amount of support on the court. "For me, the support and stability were the best features of the shoe," said Brittany. "I thought that the ankle collar held my ankle in place when I was making aggressive cuts, and I felt very confident moving all over the court. I thought the fit was more glove-like and kept the middle and front of my foot in place. I had some heel slippage, but that was fixed with a retightening of my laces. I will note that the toe box is a little wide, but it didn't pose any major problems on my narrow width foot."
The stability was solid for Karly, who stated, "I was able to move in any direction, or start and stop quickly without worrying about hurting myself. The shoe was a little roomy in the toe box so I experienced some sliding within the shoe, but I felt like it didn't affect the stability at all. There was enough material to brace my foot so I wouldn't roll an ankle."
Michelle found the Sentinel's strength to be its support and stability. She said, "The sock-like fit of this shoe ensures a stable and supportive ride. It provided a solid feel on the court, and I was never worried about twisting an ankle. Like Brittany and Karly mentioned, the toe box is a bit wide, but my feet didn't slide inside the shoes, and I thought they were very stable shoes."
The Sentinel comes with a six-month outsole warranty, and our playtesters had a lot of confidence in the outsole Fila has put on this shoe. All our players began to see some wear after significant use, but they were confident that the shoe's outsole would last longer than expected. Karly started to notice some smoothing of the outsole after about 15 hours of play, but thought it was nothing to worry about. She said, "The soles held up just fine and still have a ton more time left on of them. From the wear I've experienced so far, I'd say the Sentinel's durability is about average compared with most of today's shoes. They're not the toughest shoes out there, but they'll last long enough to get a good amount of play out of them."
Michelle echoed those comments, saying, "After two weeks of wearing just these shoes on the court (playing around 15 hours) I began to see some wear on the outsole under the toe, which is where I normally wear out my shoes. However, they are still holding up OK after a month of solid use. I love that if needed, I would be able to take advantage of the six-month durability guarantee with these shoes -- definitely an added benefit for me."
"The sole durability held up about average compared with other shoes of similar weight and stability," commented Brittany. "I could see the start of some wear in the normal places under my big toes. However, I thought a real added bonus of this shoe was the six-month outsole durability guarantee."
Our toe draggers, Karly and Brittany, found the toe bumper on these shoes held up pretty well to their vigorous on-court movement. Brittany said, "I thought there was medium durability on the toe. I saw some smoothing on the toe bumper within the first couple hits. The material above the toe bumper did not look as durable for those heavy toe draggers."
Karly added, "I have a tendency to drag my toes from time to time, but that didn't faze the Sentinels at all. The front of the shoe held up just fine, and I didn't see any significant damage. There is plenty of coverage around the front of the shoe to keep it well protected."
Michelle found the Sentinel offered the type of traction that she likes from her shoes, and described it by saying, "They gripped the court really well, and I could easily start and stop and change direction with no problems. It's definitely one of the stronger features of this shoe."
"The traction was good, especially for how heavy the shoes felt," said Karly. "They allowed just enough give so I didn't feel too stuck to the ground, and they were just tacky enough to get a good grip on the ground. I was able to get a good feel for the court with the exceptional traction."
Brittany agreed and added, "The traction on this shoe was a little above average for me. I thought the shoe gripped the court well enough, even though it was on the heavier side. It didn't have too much grip, so I never felt like I was stuck when changing directions. Additionally, I never felt the outsole was too slick. I never slipped when starting or stopping on the court."
Fila has built the Sentinels to be durable and stable, so naturally they have a bit of added weight. In fact, they are one of the heavier shoes on the market. When it comes to the weight of a shoe, Brittany gravitates toward a lighter, faster shoe. With that being said, she commented, "I put these shoes on and tried to guess the weight. They felt and played heavier than their actual weight. I didn't feel like I was moving as quickly as I could on the court, and the shoes felt a little bulky. They are also a little higher off the ground, which contributed to the clunky feel."
Michelle agreed that this shoe felt like it was on the heavy side. She said, "It felt a little heavy and bulky on the court for me. I don't usually mind heavier shoes because they have built-in support and stability, but this shoe didn't feel as quick as some of the other shoes in the same weight range."
Karly said, "When I first saw their actual weight I was expecting to see a number much higher than what was listed. The Sentinels were one of the clunkiest shoes I've ever worn. My movement on court felt much slower and louder than usual, and after playing in them my knees generally ached from making the heavy starts and stops. I think Fila could've easily sacrificed some of the extra padding to make these shoes feel lighter."
Karly � "All the padding and the solid feel provided great stability."
Brittany � "I liked the stability and the sole durability (especially with the six-month guarantee)."
Michelle � "Stability, support and traction."
Karly � "The heaviness took a toll on my movement. I couldn't move as fast in the Sentinels."
Brittany � "I didn't like the lack of ventilation, and the shoe felt a tad clunky for me."
Michelle � "These shoes bothered my knees a bit and felt a little slow and heavy on the court."
Karly � "The Sentinels played a lot like the KSwiss Bigshot IIs -- both were very padded, offered similar stability and could have improved on ventilation and weight."
Brittany � "I would compare this shoe to the Babolat Propulse 3. The solid amount of stability and support were similar between the two shoes, as was the heavier, bulky feel. Additionally, I struggled with the fit of both shoes."
Michelle - "These felt pretty unique to me, and I can't say that I have worn anything that reminds me of these shoes."
Playtester Foot Types:
Karly - Medium width, Medium-low arch
Brittany - Narrow width, Medium arch
Michelle - Medium width, High arch

Internal Medicine Divisions
We are pleased that you are interested in learning more about the University of Michigan's Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program. The Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Michigan was founded in 1967. Since then, it has become recognized nationally for its exemplary record of patient care, research and teaching. The Division provides both research-oriented and clinical training, allowing fellows to develop as physician-scientists and/or clinical infectious diseases consultants. We value flexibility, and the learning experiences are designed to meet the individual goals of each fellow.
Divisional training activities occur at both the University of Michigan Health System and the nearby Ann Arbor Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The University of Michigan Health System is among the best in the world, ranked in the top 15 health systems in the country in the most recent U.S. News and World Report. The Department of Internal Medicine consists of over 600 full time academic faculty, and is ranked fourth in the country in NIH research dollars. At both institutions, fellows are taught exclusively by full time members of the infectious disease faculty and fellows have the opportunity to follow patients seen as inpatient consultations in the outpatient setting.
Research opportunities are available for fellows interested in basic mechanisms of disease or those interested in pursuing more clinically oriented projects. As the medical center is located in the midst of the main campus of the University of Michigan, research mentors may include faculty from The School of Public Health, or other schools or departments throughout the University and Medical School.
More than eighty Infectious Diseases specialists have completed their fellowship training in our program. Approximately half have entered academic medicine and have become respected faculty members, clinicians, teachers, or investigators at their medical schools. One is a Department Chair and four have been appointed Chiefs of Infectious Diseases Divisions elsewhere. Most of the other half are employed by hospitals or private practices; many are on the staff of hospitals with accredited residency programs and have affiliations with medical schools. Three have assumed important positions related to antibiotic research and development in the pharmaceutical industry. Without exception, our trainees continue to distinguish themselves in patient care, teaching, and research.
Ann Arbor is a wonderful place to live, and is consistently ranked as one of the most livable cities in the country. For further information about the Ann Arbor area, please visit our Living in Ann Arbor page.

5 Best SUVs Under $25,000
Total SUV sales are up 12.4% this year, according to MotorIntelligence, as the era of the crossover takes hold. By ditching the truck axles for car platforms, trimming fuel costs and giving U.S. drivers all of their space without all the added cost, the crossover won over a buyer base that the recession finally sent running from oversized SUVs.
Crossover sales alone are up 14% this year from last year, while small SUV sales have jumped 8.8%. The crossover's 2.5 million sales in the U.S. through September are even starting to challenge those of the venerable midsize sedan, which still holds the lead among vehicle categories with 2.8 million sold.
The problem is that SUVs still, largely, are not cheap automobiles. That $30,000 ceiling does a poor job of containing them, and prices that regularly soar above it have kept even crossover sales at bay.
However, there are a host of crossover SUVs out the that fall just below that mark. With help from Kelley Blue Book, we found five examples of quality SUVs selling for less than $25,000. Among them are vehicles that have earned so much good will for staying relatively affordable that they've found a place among the Top 10 best-selling vehicles in the country:

As October looms, this means a few things here in South Florida: road construction will become increasingly grating as snowbird traffic begins to grow; pre-season social gigs will pop up with casual flair; and the South Florida theater scene begins its 2012-13 seasons.
Theater in South Florida took a hit during the recession, losing Florida Stage in June 2011, while Boca's main stage, Caldwell Theatre, is fighting for life-support, as the playhouse is scheduled for foreclosure auction. But, like many situations, when the establishment takes a blow, upstarts and independent operations quickly form to fill the void, and the South Florida theater scene is no different. In fact, the scene has never seemed so vibrant as it does today, with small production houses joining the ranks of established standards from Jupiter to Boca, all progressively advancing theater and drama.
To help prime the cultural pump, below is a listing of the theaters, playhouses, production companies (both professional and community) and acting troupes whose stagings are set to make 2012-13 Palm Beach County's most moving season yet.
Slow Burn Theatre Co.
Established in August 2009, Slow Burn Theatre Co. came about to fill a void in the South Florida musical theater scene, with a mission to be a "locally based professional theatre company providing the South Florida community the opportunity to see daring, contemporary and intelligent works of musical theatre." In the few short years Slow Burn has been on the scene, it has achieved this mission with provocative and adventurous production like Bat Boy: The Musical, Urinetown and the seminal The Rocky Horror Show. The 2012-13 season continues this new South Florida tradition, perhaps even taking it a step further.
Avenue Q, opening the season October 26 to November 4, is a musical comedy that navigates those tricky years after college as human and puppet try to find their purpose in life. Slow Burn follows this up with Side Show from January 31 to February 16. The play is based on the true story of Siamese twins Violet and Daisy Hilton as they go from Depression-era Vaudeville to early '30s Hollywood. The stage changes gears with the musical thriller Sweeney Todd, April 12-21, a musical that will have the audience leaving a little unhinged and, oddly enough, a bit hungry. Slow Burn's 2012-13 season comes to close a little later in the year (hurray for SoFlo natives) with the production of The Wedding Singer, June 12-30—a salute to awesomeness of the '80s.
All Slow Burn Theatre Co. performances are staged at the West Boca Performing Arts Theater. For showtimes and ticket info, visit Slow Burn Theatre Co.'s website: slowburntheatre.org.
The Plaza Theatre
Manalapan's only professional theater company, The Plaza Theatre, specializes in comedies, musicals, cabarets and light dramas. The four-production 2012-13 season highlights entertainment for entertainment's sake, starting with a little cabaret.
The 2012 Fall Cabaret Series starts September 29-30 with "Broadway at the Plaza II," starring Julie Kleiner, Leah Sessa, Bryan Ortega and Barry Tarrallo. "A Tribute to Ethel Merman" from October 6-7 celebrates the "First Lady of musical comedy stage" as Missy McArdle reimagines some of Merman's most memorable songs. The fall cabaret series comes to a close when Mia Matthews and friends present "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" from October 13-14.
The Plaza Theatre's main stage kicks of the season with Driving Miss Daisy from October 19 through November 18. Murray Schisgal's comedy LUV gives the Plaza a dose of Broadway from December 6-30. Middle-age love and second chances takes the stage January 17 through February 10 with Neil Simon's Chapter Two. The Plaza Theatre puts a musical note of finality to its 2012-13 season with the comedy Waistwatchers The Musical!, running from February 21 to March 31.
For showtimes and tickets, visit The Plaza Theatre's website: theplazatheatre.net.
The Women's Theatre Project
The Women's Theatre Project, "a company of professional female theatre artists dedicated to producing theatrical works exploring the female voice," has a new home for its 2012-13 season: Willow Theatre at Sugar Sands Park in Boca Raton. This move from Fort Lauderdale to Boca is a boon for Palm Beach County, as the Willow Stage offers TWTP a chance to broaden its reach with its 155-seats and a growing theater fan base in the immediate Boca area.
TWTP will put on two productions for its 2012-13 season: the Barbara Pease Weber comedy Delval Divas from November 2-18 and Faye Sholiton's memory play, The Interview, running January 4-20. For showtimes and ticket information, visit The Women's Theatre Project's website: womenstheatreproject.com.
Palm Beach Dramaworks
West Palm Beach's only resident theater, Palm Beach Dramaworks, had a banner 2011-12 season, breaking in its new Clematis Street theater with thought-provoking drama of the highest order. The downtown theater looks to continue its mission with five productions for the 2012-13 season.
Starting things off October 12 through November 11, the Pulitzer Prize-winning romance Talley's Folly by Lanford Wilson opens on the Donald and Ann Brown stage. Edward Albee's dark comedy and Pulitzer Prize winner, A Delicate Balance, runs from December 7 through January 6, a cautionary tale of when a guest truly becomes a pest. Drama in its highest form, Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun challenges the audience with an emotionally and intellectually provocative play from February 1 to March 3. From March 29 through April 28, PB Dramaworks returns to comedy with Eugene Ionesco's Exit the King, a tale about the difficulties of moving on. The 2012-13 season wraps with Brian Friel's Dancing at Lughnasa, a memory play about the rural upbringing of two sisters in Ireland.
For showtimes and ticket information, visit Palm Beach Dramaworks' website: palmbeachdramaworks.org.
FAU Theatre and Dance
Established in 1966, Florida Atlantic University's theater department has seen monumental growth since its humble beginnings 46 years ago. Now part of the school of arts, the theatre and dance department includes bachelors of arts in theatre for general education, design and technology, and performance as well as advanced degrees and a master's of fine arts in acting as well as design and technology. Staged at FAU's Art Complex, which includes the Carole & Barry Kaye Performing Arts Auditorium, Studio One and Two theaters, and the University Theatre, student performances are fully produced by FAU students.
The 2012-13 theater season and the Studio One Theatre stage has an eye for drama, starting September 28 with the production of Neal Bell's Thérèse Raquin, adapted from the Émile Zola novel of the same name, running through October 7. November 9-18 is Tennessee Williams' play Summer and Smoke, his follow-up to A Streetcar Named Desire. Peter Shaffer's drama Equus runs February 15-24, a suspense-filled play about a psychiatrist's attempt to treat a young man convicted of blinding six horses. FAU's four-production season comes to a close with Lysistrata, a musical adaptation of Aristophanes, April 12-21.
Students of dance take on the University Theatre Stage for three engagements this season that are not to be missed: Dances We Dance: Fall Showcase, November 30 and December 1; Repertory Dance Theatre Ensemble, February 1-3; Dances We Dance: Spring Showcase, April 26-27. Dancers, from classically trained and multi-generational to contemporary and modern, will perform an array of dance genres, showcasing choreography, technical skill and the expressive merit of dance.
For tickets and showtimes, visit FAU's department of theatre and dance's website: fau.edu/theatre.
Lake Worth Playhouse
The Lake Worth Playhouse, one of Palm Beach County's cultural mainstays, was so excited about its Diamond Jubilee—understandably so—that it opened its 2012-13 billings in July with Hairspray. Now, a few months removed, Lake Worth Playhouse is at is again with an additional five productions for season proper.
The King of Siam and his English governess kick-start the fall offerings with The King and I, opening October 4-21. Next is 1970s Broadway byway of the 1940s, when The 1940's Radio Hour, a musical portraying "the final holiday broadcast of the Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade on the New York radio station WOV in December 1942," takes the stage November 15 through December 2. The Tony Award-winning musical The Drowsy Chaperone rings in 2013 from January 17 to February 3. The Larry Shue comedy The Foreigner opens February 28 and runs through March 17. To round out Lake Worth Playhouse's sixtieth season, the greatest musical on earth, Barnum, part musical theater part circus, running April 11-28. As a supplement to the ongoing season, limited engagement performances and events are scheduled throughout; check here and mark your calendar: www.lakeworthplayhouse.org

Delray Beach Playhouse
Established in 1947, the Delray Beach Playhouse is one of the area's oldest-running theaters. This year, the community theater plans on making its 2012-13 season its biggest yet with five main stage plays and five Broadway musical songbook repertoires. The playhouse plays begin October 5 with the Jerome Chodorov and Norman Panama mystery, A Talent for Murder, running through October 21. The Von Trapp take the stage next with The Sound of Music from November 30 through December 16. Ethel Waters: His Eye is on the Sparrow, a musical biography by Larry Parr, runs from January 25 through February 10. Joe DiPietro's comedy, The Last Romance, takes the stage March 22 through the April 7. The Delray Beach Playhouse 2012-13 season comes to a close with a production of A.R. Gurney's Sylvia.

Maltz Jupiter Theatre
North County's premiere theater destination, Maltz Jupiter Theatre, is fresh off a banner year, pulling in eight Carbonell Awards (the most of any South Florida nominee) and a record-breaking 7,350 subscribers for the 2012-13 season—and that was by the end of June! All this adds to big expectations for 2012-13, and with the production lineup set to launch in October, it looks like the Maltz will fully fill those shoes and then some for its tenth anniversary season.
The theater starts the season off with a single-night run of Through the Looking Glass, a contemporary retelling of Lewis Carroll's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The Maltz's full five-production run starts October 30 through November 11 with the Tony Award-winning bio-drama, Amadeus. Harold Hill goes for the long con in the classic American musical The Music Man, November 27 through December 16. Ringing in the New Year with umbrella in hand, Singin' in the Rain brings its classic songbook to stage January 8-27. The Maltz shifts to drama February 5-17 with the production of the critically acclaimed Doubt. Rounding out the Maltz' tenth anniversary season, the Tony Award-winning musical Thoroughly Modern Millie will have members of the audience dancing the Charleston in the aisles March 5-24.
For showtimes and tickets, visit the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's website: jupitertheatre.org.
The Theatre at Arts Garage
Arts Garage and the Creative City Collaborative is, to me, one of the most exciting things to happen to PBC in years. It's a cultural home base where musicians, visual artists and performers can bring their work to an educated and eager audience, a vital component to vibrant community. Continuing this mission, Arts Garage added theater to its offerings with The Theatre at Arts Garage, a new dynamic to an already ambitious art undertaking, debuting with Woody Sez in March.
The Theatre at Arts Garage begins its 2012-13 season December 7-30 with the production of Lauren Gunderson's Exit, Pursued by a Bear, best described as a contemporary Southern "revenge comedy." The theatre follows this up with the production of Gloucester Blue by acclaimed playwright Israel Horowitz (father of Adam Keefe Horowitz, aka Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys) from January 25 through February 17. The Theatre wraps its 2012-13-fall season with the March 15 through April 14 production of drama Lungs, from playwright Duncan MacMillan.
For show times and tickets, visit Arts Garage's website: artsgarage.org.
SOL Children Theatre Troupe
Though most think of theater as an outlet for adults, live theater can be a powerful experience for children. SOL Children Theatre Troupe strives to unlock that power for children, giving them the tools to provide theater at its highest form. SOL's mission to "provide children with a safe, secure and highly professionalized theatre experience" shines through with the production value of the performances. Armed with this mission, SOL is helping train the next generation of theater professionals and fans. Testament to this is SOL's 2012-13 season, where the kids lead the productions.
SOL's tenth season kicks off with Rumplestiltskin, October 26 to November 11. A two-day engagement of The Commedia Pinocchio gives theatergoers a much-needed break from the Nutcracker from December 21-23. Timberlake Wertenbaker's The Ash Girl, January 18 to February 3, is a reimagining of Cinderella, with a light shined on darker recesses of the story, which are oft glossed-over in Disney-esque versions. Speaking of Disney, SOL presents a musical experience February 22-24 with the "Disney on Broadway & Musical Theatre Comedy Concert." The one-act musical comedy, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, May 4-19, seems an apropos fit for SOL, celebrating the whimsy of childhood to the wisdom of old age. SOL puts bow on its tenth season with the Broadway musical Beauty and the Beast from August 9-25.
