AMERICAN TALIBAN by Pearl Abraham (Random House)
Abraham's riveting fourth novel shows how the unthinkable can happen when a young American dreamer becomes a fanatic. In the months leading up to 9/11, college-bound John Jude Parish—lover of Dylan and the Tao Te Ching—becomes smitten with the rigor and doctrinal purity of radical Islam. He ends up thirsting for self-abnegation in the forbidding mountains of Pakistan. This nuanced portrait of a homegrown terrorist goes far beyond the headline evoked by its title to explore the imperatives of love, the lure of exotic adventure and the rocky terrain of faith.
THE WOMAN WHO SHOT MUSSOLINI by Frances Stonor Saunders (Metropolitan Books)
Violet Gibson was an Irish aristocrat and an oddball—that much is certain. But the question behind this heady mix of biography and cultural history is whether insanity or outrage led her to shoot Italy's charismatic leader Benito Mussolini in 1926. Her bullet grazed his nose and crazed his nation, yet, strangely, Gibson has been all but forgotten by historians. Anecdotes about twentieth-century feminists, Fascists and self-serving diplomats make Saunders's book a tantalizing read.
WHAT BECOMES by A. L. Kennedy (Alfred A. Knopf)
Wary, love-starved men and women populate this Scottish writer's searing new collection of stories. Among the standouts: the darkly funny "Another," in which the widow of a beloved children's entertainer (a "total bastard" to his wife) auditions his professional, and domestic, replacement, and "Sympathy," a kind of verbal strip search in which two people rapaciously yet tenderly lay bare each other's loneliness during a one-night stand. These
are tales of quiet crisis, told with empathy and raw nerve.

- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fat-free whipped topping
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Add sugar; cook and stir over low heat until gelatin and sugar are completely dissolved. Remove from the heat. Whisk in sour cream and vanilla. Refrigerate until slightly thickened.
- Fold in whipped topping. Pour into a 4 cup heart-shaped or other shape mold coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate until firm.
- For sauce, drain raspberries, reserving syrup; set berries aside. Add enough water to the syrup to measure 3/4 cup. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and sugar. Stir in syrup mixture until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in berries. Refrigerate until serving.

In this lab we apply principles from engineering and physics to living systems to better understand mechanics, materials and structure as well as evolutionary processes. A good deal of work that goes on here is on cartilaginous fishes, though there is also a strong interest in amphibians and reptiles.
Adam Summers is the associate director of the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories and an associate professor in the department of Biology and in the School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences.
Adam's research is heavily collections based and he holds research associate positions at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at UC Berkeley and the Los Angeles County Museum.
Current research topics include the evolution and mechanical properties of cartilage and tendon, swimming mechanics of sharks, respiratory patterns of sharks and rays and solid-solid interactions in aquatic organisms.

Ever wonder the real reason why women are paid less than men?
Women who work full-time earn, on average, 77 percent of what men do. It's a lingering problem — one I've spent lots of time thinking and writing about over the years — and it can't be ignored.
I'm well aware of the usual explanations: Some women take time out of the workplace to raise families and care for aging relatives; the types of jobs they do often aren't as high-paying as men's and so forth. But I've long thought that some other reason lurks beneath the surface.
And now I've found it.

The traditional end of summer arrives Monday, but the music calendar remains in mid-summer form. The weather's cooling down to boot, so enjoy the last few chances you have to see music in the great outdoors. Let's examine our best options for this long holiday weekend, shall we?
Starting Thursday, as part of its Town Park concert series, the Newpark Resort is hosting Texas soul dynamo Ruthie Foster for a free 6 p.m. show. Check out Ruthie belting "Travelin' Shoes," right here:
Also Thursday, "Mary Poppins" begins a nearly month-long run at the Capitol Theatre with 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. shows Thursday. Tickets remain on sale at arttix.com. You have a lot of chances between now and Sept. 25 to see this production. Should be a hoot.
Also, the final two shows of the Red Butte summer lineup hit this weekend, starting Thursday with trance-groovers Thievery Corp., playing a 7:30 p.m. show. It's always good to dance at RBG and this show probably offers more of a chance to do so than Sunday night's sold-out show featuring Alison Kraus and Union Station. While Kraus' blend of bluegrass, folk and pop music is highly danceable, the crowd will probably be seated much of the night. This will be despite dobro master Jerry Douglas's presence, which helps fuel Krauss's gigs with a bluegrass stomp-party element.
And in an adventurous, intriguing pairing, Dawes opens the sold-out show. This California quartet is touring behind its sophomore effort, "Nothing Is Wrong." And while it's not quite as strong as their debut album, it still shows a lot of promise and gets better with subsequent listenings. These guys have garnered a lot of buzz and have backed Robbie Robertson of The Band recently. Meanwhile, here's Alison singing one of my favorite Billy Joe Shaver songs.
Also Thursday, an intriguing indie-rock gig at The Urban Lounge as San Francisco duo Two Gallants roll through. These folk rockers have a stark, appealing sound. Check out "Steady Rollin'" right here:
And Thursday night, the Utes football season begins at Rice-Eccles Stadium against the Big Sky's Montana State Bobcats. As always ride TRAX if you can and don't drive around the U. between 5 and 7 p.m., unless you want to drive really slow for a while. The game is sold out and starts at 6 p.m.
A cool option for some on Friday, at The State Room, will be to watch a simulcast of Vermont rock band Phish live from their first of three shows this weekend in Denver. Admission is free, but you should RSVP and be sure to bring a non-perishable food item for the Utah Food Bank. What's funny is that I know people who still live and breathe this band and I know other people who think they're the worst thing in music. They're far from THAT, but I don't fly around the country to see them either.
And in Park City on Saturday, California singer-songwriter Jackie Greene will play a free concert at The Canyons. Greene's originals are under-loved and sadly, a lot of people hit these shows seemingly just to hear the handful of Grateful Dead or Beatles' covers that are standard fare. That's a shame, because as much as the covers are, Greene's own songs are the real centerpiece. Check out "Nothing from Nothing" below:
And don't forget dance-rockers extraordinaire Starf***er are at Kilby Court. Looking forward to that one. Tickets are $13 in advance and $15 the day of.

MY BODY IN MY TWENTIES I wore lots of harem pants and loose tees in college, so my weight, 200-plus pounds, didn't bother me. That changed when I got a job in publishing and needed to wear work clothes. One day I bent over and split my suit pants. Each morning I threw a tantrum in front of my closet. My pants and skirts were too tight; my blouses gaped. I'd try on 10 outfits and be in tears by the time I walked out the door.
THE TURNING POINT Walking around my neighborhood with my two little girls, I noticed a few other overweight moms. They looked uncomfortable and unkempt, and I imagined they ate fried food, fed their kids doughnuts and lived in sloppy apartments. And then I realized, people may be thinking the same thing about me.
THE MAKEOVER In January 2010, I went to a party for the opening of a Soul Cycle Spinning studio near my apartment. I signed up for a class. Canceled it. Signed up for another class; canceled that, too. Then on Valentine's Day a friend came over for a Champagne brunch, and later that day, still giddy from the bubbles, we took a Spin class together. I wore yoga pants and a big T-shirt so nobody could see my flabby arms. But I loved the energy in that room, and when I finished 45 minutes later, there was a huge puddle of sweat in front of my bike. I started going three, four, then five mornings a week. In a year, I dropped 40 pounds. I also began changing how I ate. I wasn't a big overeater, but I ate mindlessly, pickingmac-and-cheese or chicken nuggets off my kids' plates. At the end of the day, I'd unwind with a glass of wine—or three. So I cut out cheese, bread and all but the occasional glass of wine and added more fish and greens to my diet.
THE MILESTONE One day in Spin class, we were pedaling fast to the song "Proud Mary." I had my eyes closed, and when I opened them, everyone was laughing. I had gone so fast, I'd actually moved my bike across the room.
MY BODY TODAY I'm happier than I've ever been. I've reached 156 pounds, have added years to my life and am a better role model for my girls. Sure, my abs could be more toned and my arms more defined. But that's fine-tuning. I'm proud of what I look like. I may not be a supermodel, but I walk with my head high, and I swagger.

I've been debating for some time now whether to renew my subscription when it runs out in the fall. I'm 65 and most of the articles are geared toward women in their 40's and 50's. The make-up and fashions featured are largely irrelevant to my life, now that I've retired to rural Vermont. I do enjoy reading about strong women, especially those who have reinvented themselves successfully. Then your June issue arrived and made my mind up for me. A $1,345 plastic bag? Are you serious? I hope any of your other readers who thought for even a second of spending that much money on that tote will stop and send the amount instead to the Irene Recovery Fund (www.vtirenefund.org ). It would go to so much better use for those Vermonters still struggling to recover from last August's flooding.

Turkey burgers with umami paste recipe
The turkey burgers with umami paste were so moist and flavorful. I've made them twice and shared the recipe with several coworkers. I will make them on a routine basis. Thank you.
--Sherry Johnson
While I appreciate the article on Title IX as well as the athletic opportunities it has afforded girls, I wonder why no one is questioning the role of women in professional sports? That's great that these young girls get to play sports during their school years, but then what? Young boys can aspire to be just like Derek Jeter or Dwayne Wade. But young girls don't have the same pro athlete stars to look up to. I know we have the WNBA, but those women don't get the same coverage as their male counterparts (and probably not the same inflated paychecks, I'm assuming). What about women's baseball? Women's soccer? Heck, women's football? If I had the means and the business know-how, you can bet I'd be bringing back the All-American Girls (WOMEN) Professional Baseball League.
--Laurie LeaheyGood for you—always open to suggestions!
April issue: Makeup must-haves . . . where are we? Nothing after 60.
May issue: The best ever! Yes, Zumba is great at 80!
June issue: Skin doc confidential = super rating!
Where are we who are 65 to 85? After 60, I got cancer and a black belt; I biked across the U.S., skied to the North Pole and ran Boston . . .
We are active and out there with money (because of savvy decisions) and time. Need a pull-out section (we no longer save stuff or buy green bananas) devoted to 65 and successfully climbing called "More with Amour"! Don't forget us!!!!
Love and hugs,
Sue Schmidt
I am a big fan of your magazine. It is the first magazine that has the courage to address the women over 20-30 years old.
I read your editorial this month, and I had to put my opinion in. I am all for the older woman looking good, and if it takes a laser or plastic surgery procedure to do so, then I am there. But you seem to stop at the 40- to 50-year-old women. What about the rest of us? The baby boomers who are 65 and our mothers who are 90+. I am 65, and I still want to look the best I can.
I exercise, keep my weight down, try to shop for fashions that look good on me without calling out to the skin that has betrayed me and the age spots that defy me. Whenever I see the word "diminishes" fine lines and wrinkles, I know that it will do me absolutely no good. I am over the diminishing stage. However, I still try everything. And how about my 91-year-old mother, who looks fantastic with her glowing silver hair and beautiful God-given blue eyes. We want articles about us. You think your magazine is special because you put a 40-year-old model on the cover. When I was 40 years old, I could compete with any woman in the good-looks department. No problem. Now, let's consider the 65-year-old woman and the 91-year-old woman. We exist. We buy cosmetics and fashion. We probably have more money to spend than the 40-year-old girls. I want to see your picture as editor-in-chief when you are 65. Let's get a bit more real with MORE. You really could put yourself on the map if you went for the baby boomers who are full of life and want a magazine that supports our needs.
Keep up the good work and dig deeper into the aging department, and let's live until we die.

I have subscribed to MORE magazine for many years. Recently I read about the survey/contest. I guess you are asking for readers' opinions. I think the past three or four issues were the worst I have ever seen. The issues do not have many pages, and there were so many pages wasted on photos of just stuff. The April issue had pages 80–87 with photos of the most uninteresting jewelry. That was also in another issue. The clothes that are featured are now just pages of photographs of clothes, e.g., pages 36, 38. The same is featured in other issues. The magazine has lost substance. It is not worth subscribing to anymore. The stories are also not interesting. I subscribe to Allure, and even though they feature mostly stuff, the stories are interesting. They even have short stories written by famous writers.
One good thing I have noticed: MORE features more African Americans on the cover, finally! Now it's time to feature Latinas on the cover.
I hope the magazine improves and becomes worth keeping my subscription. I did like the before-and-after makeovers of regular women. I think it's helpful to see what fashion designs are good and bad for different body types.
--Maria Vega
Your Notebook article "Return of the Gender Card" is just the kind of irresponsible reporting that makes my blood boil at times. To find it in MORE magazine, which I subscribe to for fashion advice for women of my age, is insulting!
The whole basis of the trumped-up assertion that women's rights are being denied is preposterous. No one is being denied birth control or access to abortion. It's just that the taxpayers are tired of paying for it for others. Those who are morally opposed to these "freedoms" should not be obligated to fund those who CHOOSE to use these services.
We Americans are becoming so used to having everything paid for out of the common fund, we cry foul when it's not "free." Shame on Andrea Mitchell and those like her who continue to trump up these ridiculously fabricated untruths for political attention and votes for their candidate in the November election.
For true "inequality," look to other countries, not the U.S. There's no obstruction to health care or birth control in the U.S., period!
--Suzette Lenzen
Tears fell from my eyes when I read the "letter from the editor" in the April 2012 issue of MORE. I am only 36 now, and my children are teens. Getting busy with the world they are building for themselves.
Slowing down is not an option; it's a natural path we all face in our lives. When we, as moms, stuff in one day all those activities that make us feel useful, we feel needed. When things change, it's in us to find ourselves again—the garden is an option, volunteering in local organizations, reading all those books we never had time before, and so on.
Life is a box of chocolates. Some sweet, some bitter, still worthwhile living and loving. Awareness is a great key.
Amazing passage. Thank you.
--Angelica Hernandez
MORE magazine is boring. There, I said it, and I don't mean any personal offense. It's just that you can page through the magazine in a half hour and there is really nothing worth stopping to read. The articles are all the same; they are someone's story about something. This gets old after a while, especially when you have multiple stories of the same type in one issue.
Then the "fashion" pages, multiple full-page outlines of plastic jewelry? Come on, this may fly in Seventeen magazine, but this is supposed to be for the working-class women, most of whom wouldn't be caught dead wearing plastic. A cubic zirconium maybe, but plastic?? This seems like a complete waste of space and makes you wonder if you needed something to just fill up a few pages. There are too many references and articles about celebrities and politicians. If I want to read about this, then I'll buy the National Enquirer. You've got at least seven pages with junk from pharmaceutical ads. Where are all the fitness articles? There is next to nothing about eating healthy, exercise, how to make your body look thinner by clothes, makeup and shoes. There is nothing about surviving in the workforce, nothing about job seeking or career advice. There are far more advertisements (full page) than articles. As a business owner, I understand you need the advertisements, but full-page ads should be at least a 1:3 ratio to reading materials. How about some articles about couponing, saving money, cutting costs?? The captions on the front page are not indicative of what is inside the magazine; it's misleading to your readers.
No offense, but you asked for honest opinions, good or bad.
--Donna Kraige
I applaud your effort to bring attention to the epidemic of prescription drug addiction in this country in your article "Lethal Weapon." As a physician, I too have watched in horror as drugs that were once used only in extreme situations are now handed out as routine home medications. I think, however, that your article missed a large piece of the picture. When insurance companies began denying hospital stays after major surgery (think knee replacement, back surgery, mastectomy) and sent patients home to cope with severe pain after only 24 hours of care, what exactly were their physicians supposed to do? Tell them to take Motrin? For many patients, post-op pain is worse the second or third day after surgery. Physicians receive little training on outpatient pain management, especially management of post-op pain in the outpatient setting. The last thing a compassionate physician wants is for his or her patient to go home and become incapacitated because of pain, thereby setting themselves up for further complications. Can we for once take a look at who is really driving the health care, or lack thereof, in this country? If you think for one second your physician chooses your plan of care, think again. In the long run, your care, and your prescriptions, are managed by your health care plan.
--Elizabeth Patrenos, MD
Andrea Mitchell indicates that women voters are concerned about threats to their rights. Concerning contraception, no one is denying the right of women to use contraceptives; however, by forcing Church-related employers who do not believe in contraception to provide contraceptives, the health care bill would be denying the Church its right to practice its beliefs. I am grateful for both the opportunity to use contraceptives and to worship without goverment control.
--Robyn Hospodka
I was thrilled at the concept of the magazine when it first came out. I read it and subscribed, but over time I came to realize that you cover women over 40 but you really stop providing any articles of interest or substance for women over 65. My guess is that you ladies involved in the production of the magazine have to join the "over 65" age group to better appreciate this time frame. Maybe then you will be inspired and equipped to comment on and to celebrate this different stage. Also, by then there will be so many of you, as baby boomers, that you will be compelled to address the "over 65" age group. Maybe you will even have a "More+" monthly edition just for that group . . . who knows? It could be fun. Anyways, enjoy the journey!
--Diane Milne
Hear, hear! The last few comments are spot-on! Instead of empowering women and challenging them to rely on things other than sex and sexiness, More goes in the other direction. The Madeleine Stowe photos play into the hands of those who think women should look, smell, act and be a certain way. The reader who asserted that the magazine insists on ignoring Republican readers gets my applause, too. Too much more and I'll find another magazine.
I am almost 49 years old, and this is the first time ever I am writing to a magazine. I just finished taking the online survey in the hopes I would have an opportunity somewhere in the survey to weigh in on something I noticed—I assumed there would be some sort of general "comments box." Unfortunately, the box that asked for comments about improving the magazine was my opportunity, but since the completion bar showed I was only at about 75% at that point, I assumed there would be a more generic box later on. Clearly I was wrong, but I still feel the need to make my comment—hence this e-mail. I have always found More to be a pretty well-balanced perspective on coming into our own in the world. But in the June issue, that balance didn't just shift—it went completely off-kilter.

If my friend spent $1,345.00 on a clear plastic bag, I would:
1. Smack her in the forehead a la "I could have had a V-8" style.
2. March her back to the store to return it.
3. Take her to lunch and see what I needed to do to help restore either her self-esteem or her overall sanity.
4. Write a letter to the editor of the magazine that recommended this purchase to find out what wine she was drinking so that I could have a glass as well the next time I needed to take complete leave of my senses.
Balance. Taking charge of our lives. Making good decisions. Becoming our authentic selves. Buying stunning shoes because they make us feel powerful and sexy. Embracing our thighs and our dysfunctional families. Becoming financially independent and fiscally savvy. Changing our world. Changing our children's world. Reinventing ourselves. Listening to and following our passions. Spending an obscene amount of money on a plastic bag because of the designer label.
One of these things is not like the others. And it diminishes everything else on the list. Leave that to Style or Cosmo. MORE is typically above that.

1. Love the magazine . . . turned a gal pal onto it. She gave me a Xmas subscription last year. Alas, I only received three issues and nothing was ever done, and I called three times to complain. Now I just buy it from newsstand. Am a fan on Facebook, too.
2. Would love to see more features on women who are in their sixties. In attached photo, I'm in the middle, celebrating my 65th on May 12!!! Everyone says I don't look my age . . . and I am overcoming arthritis, severe osteoporosis, an incurable autoimmune disease and a stroke! Positive thinking and spirituality help!
3. One of my friends is Angela Paul . . . one of your over-50 model winners from years back. Is there any way that I can get a back issue so that I could see her feature? I'll pay!
4. Yours is the best publication for women!!
--Mei Ling Moore
I was SO excited to see the gorgeous swimsuits in your June issue. I was NOT so excited to see that, aside from the two-piece swimsuits, not a single suit appeared to come in cup sizes. According to the New York Times, WWD, NY Daily News and prominent bra retailers like Tomima of HerRoom, 36DD is the new average cup size. It was nice to see some suits in larger sizes, but finding a one-piece bathing suit to fit (let alone support) a large top has been a lifelong challenge for a lot of us. Buying a larger suit just doesn't cut it!
--Eileen Haas-Linde, Cape Coral, FL
I subscribe to MORE and enjoy the articles, but I have one complaint. I find the print to be very small and difficult to read. I don't know the age of your average reader, but I am in my sixties and cannot read some of your articles (even with my reading glasses). I know that after the age of 40 most women are using glasses for close reading, and I'm guessing that I'm not the only one having this problem. Maybe I'm the only one to bring it to your attention. So thanks for listening.
Keep up the good work . . . the articles are useful and relevant (love the humor also).
--Sue Bratton, Canton, Ohio
I very much enjoyed your latest article regarding the landmark legislation Title IX. My daughter benefited greatly from this legislation not only in her athletic career as a Division I athlete but also in the educational opportunities that were open to her because of its passage. I made sure that she was aware of how Title IX gave her a broader world of opportunities. I wanted her to know much different her life would be if she lived the world of narrow opportunities that was mine as a girl before this revolutionary legislation.
One of Title IX's lesser-known elements is the equal access to educational programs for either sex. Enrollment in shop classes, mechanical drawing, ROTC and home economics is no longer segregated by gender. Equal access is also extended to the pregnant teen. Gone are the days when a pregnant teen was forced to drop out of school. Title IX requires access to educational programs for even those students who now have the added responsibility of a child. These young women now have the chance to earn their high school diplomas and be on a more equal footing in the job market and as an educated parent.
Today's young women often do not know the struggles that went before them to achieve equal access and therefore do not know that powerful forces are eager to eliminate the oversight that has kept Title IX alive. Our previous president attempted to eliminate or eviscerate Title IX. We are only beginning to see the fruits of Title IX and must continue to be vigilant or risk losing one of our most empowering pieces of legislation for gender equity.
--Mary Jander Roberts
The article "Lethal Weapon" highlights a very real problem that is not getting enough attention. About three years ago, my brother-in-law had rotator cuff surgery. He became addicted to oxycodone, receiving multiple 30-day prescriptions from three different doctors. He struggled with the addiction and went through detox. We thought he was clean, but he relapsed this year and went through another detox program around Easter. He died suddenly eight days ago from a massive heart attack. He was 48. Among some family members, it is thought that the damage to his heart was caused by the prescription drugs and drugs used for detox, which I believe was methadone. He leaves behind a wife and two children, along with his own parents. Our lives are forever changed due to the decisions that his doctors made.

LOVE the "Meet the MORE staff" page! What a great gratitude and desire/goals listing, lovely eclectic mix of folks! Also, really enjoy content, marketing and mantra for women of "style and substance" as the theme so resonates to the empowered woman. I've also enjoyed participating in this year's MORE Beauty Search 2012 contest; it's been such fun! All the best to every participant and much gratitude to the staff for the time and effort in choosing winners. Looking forward to outcome, announcement and continued best of MORE!
--Heather Watkins
I was very disappointed in your article "Return of the Gender Card" and feel that it betrays the true issue. The issue is not a woman's right to birth control but who is paying for it. This was never mentioned in the article by Christina Bellantoni and indicates to me that she and your readers have been seriously misled. If I agree that a woman has the right to decide for herself if she will take birth control or have an abortion, that's one thing, but if as a woman I don't believe in one or both, why should I be forced to pay for it for someone else? Isn't it my right not to?
--Linda Pelliccioni
The numerous generations of our family will now cancel our subscriptions to More because of Andrea Mitchell's completely biased and certified–by–President Obama article. We are so sick of the biased media, and unfortunately you people have joined the club. There are two sides to every story, and fair and balanced media reports that.
I LOVE your magazine. It is unique and refreshing, and has information and articles unlike any other. Very nice. Thank you.
--Susan Sayles
When I received your June issue today, I had to immediately read your article about Madeleine Stowe because I am a HUGE fan of Revenge! It's nice to know more about her now. (I couldn't imagine Victoria Grayson doing some of the things Madeleine has done!) I hope we see a lot more of her in the future.
--Rita Stalvig
Too bad Madeleine Stowe's "romantic sensibility" doesn't extend to animals. I liked her before I read this article because I didn't know much about her. Ick!

Announcing the 2013-14 Season
"Unto the Breach!"
(Memphis, TN, July 23, 2013) –– Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), the Mid-South's professional classical theatre, today announced its 2013-14 schedule of plays and education schools tour.
Following the record-breaking success of its fifth performance season, TSC was informed last month that its matching civic funding for its vast education programs in its community was being entirely eliminated. That same week, the National Endowment for the Arts/ArtsMidwest recognized TSC for its innovative education and performance programming with a matching Shakespeare in American Communities grant. TSC was one of the youngest organizations to receive the recognition.
In a matter of days, the grant was matched by Shakespeare supporters from Germantown, Memphis, the Mid-South, and from across the U.S. Letters from over 200 supporters to TSC and its community's elected officials, together with their generosity, inspired a different type of beginning to TSC's sixth season.
"It has been our mission since day one, and our responsibility to our community, that we always provide innovative educational student programming together with our professional Shakespeare productions at deep discount, or for free," says founder and producing artistic director Dan McCleary. "I never want money to be the thing that prevents our community's students from having a chance to love the plays of William Shakespeare and to learn from them on their own terms. And yes, for the record, I do believe Shakespeare can change the world for the better, and I'm starting with my hometown.
"Too many of our schools here are defined as 'underprivileged' and "underserved.' So, we have work to do; and as long as we have 80 schools and nearly 15,000 students who want us teaching them and playing for them, like last year, then we will be determined to fill the breach created by the elimination of our municipal government funding for the coming season. If I have learned anything from my involvement in the plays of William Shakespeare in 25 years and from our galvanizing TSC supporters these past two months, it is that artistic courage and social activism, particularly in the face of adversity, can affect positive change."
Unto the Breach!
The Un-Common Courage of William Shakespeare
Substituting for its usual full-cast production of a Shakespeare play in the autumn is a special two-performance Benefit show in the 824-seat Germantown Performing Arts Center/Duncan-Williams Performance Hall to help restore education funding to our community's classrooms. Ticket revenue will go to TSC's education program.
Unto the Breach! the Un-Common Courage of William Shakespeare will feature Dan McCleary and resident artist/Education Director Stephanie Shine on stage with music in this 90-minute exploration of Shakespeare's courage of creativity, of the heart, of conviction, and of forgiveness. Scenes will be performed from plays Richard III, King Lear, Love's Labor's Lost, Twelfth Night, Coriolanus, The Merchant of Venice, The Winter's Tale, Macbeth, As You Like It and more.
The Benefit show plays Saturday, September 7 at 7:30 pm and Tuesday, September 10 at 7:00 pm. A special all-school matinee with discounted tickets will be made possible by TSC's sponsors on September 10 at 10:30 am at GPAC.
McCleary and Shine (Gertrude in TSC's acclaimed Hamlet) take the stage for the first time together. A real-life married couple brought together by Shakespeare, both have more than 55 years of experience playing most of the canon, including 30 major/title roles.
Benefit tickets are $30, and seating is general admission. A special Free Will Kids' Night is in effect for both performances: Children 17 years and younger will be admitted FREE when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian. Limit: four children per guardian. Press Opening is September 7 at 7:30 pm.
Unto the Breach! is supported and partnered by The Barbara B. Apperson Angel Fund, ArtsMemphis, Nancy and Dan Copp, Independent Bank, Milton T. Schaeffer, and GPAC/Duncan-Williams Performance Hall.
It's a Wonderful Life:
A Live Radio Play
Back by popular demand is last year's holiday hit It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play playing November 20 – December 8, 2013, in the Winegardner Auditorium at Dixon Gallery & Gardens in Memphis, directed by Stephanie Shine.
Sponsored by FedEx Corporation and adapted for the stage by Joe Landry, It's a Wonderful Life returns the Bailey family to the stage to celebrate everyone's end-of-year holidays. The loving classic that embraces the beset George Bailey as he discovers how wonderful his life really is transfers from the famous black-and-white film version to a live 1946 radio play, complete with period jingles, carols, and creative sound effects. Returning cast: Amelia Fischer, Bradley Kroeker, Lorraine Cotton, and WKNO's Jim Eikner as Clarence Oddbody, Angel 2nd Class.
Tickets for the November 20 Preview performance are $15. Free Will Kids' Nights are on November 21, 28, and December 5. WKNO Memphis public radio will broadcast the November 21 performance live on 91.1 FM at 7:00 pm. Press Opening is November 21 at 7:00 pm.
Romeo and Juliet
Made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts/ArtsMidwest and Shakespeare in American Communities, William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet plays Germantown Performing Arts Center/Duncan-Williams Performance Hall on January 28 and 30 at 7:00 pm, directed by Stephanie Shine. Three, discounted morning matinees that week for school students will also be made available.
Experience the full-bodied love story as if for the first time with these professional, young players. The play everyone is introduced to in their early teen years on the page comes vibrantly alive on the GPAC stage as a cast of eight explores the mortal acts of too-young lovers who bury their parents' strife with their lives.
This production is inspired by TSC's innovative Romeo and Juliet Project, which has been raising grades, changing young lives, and affecting entire student bodies throughout the Memphis area for two years.
Parents are invited to discover with their children all of the heart-felt, or well-intentioned, or tragic decisions made by the play's teenagers and adults alike in this "two hours traffic of our stage," followed by a community forum with the audience, actors, and director.
A special Free Will Kids' Night is in effect for both performances: Children 17 years and younger will be admitted FREE when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian. Limit: four children per guardian. Press Opening is January 28 at 7:00 pm.
Fifth Annual Valentine's Gala
Save the Date with your special someone at GPAC on February 14, 2014! Broadway celebrities Charles Strouse and Marin Mazzie & Jason Danieley have taken center stage the last two years. Guess who's romancing you this year! (We will announce soon.)

Don't miss the Fifth Annual Valentine's Gala –the most original, fun party of the year! For single tickets and sponsorships of ten seats, please call TSC's Development Office at (901) 759-0620.
The Taming of the Shrew
William Shakespeare's early commedia piece The Taming of the Shrew, directed by Dan McCleary, plays inside the Dixon's Winegardner Auditorium from April 23 – May 4, 2014, in Memphis.
One of Shakespeare's most outrageously funny and controversial plays shows up quite by accident on the 1927 doorstep of Mr. Hugo Dixon of Memphis, Tennessee. He hires the traveling theatre troupe to perform a play for mirth and merriment in his luxurious home, which one day will become Dixon Gallery & Gardens.
In the play, Kate neither looks nor acts like her younger, alluring sister Bianca – nor any other woman, for that matter. This is bad news for Bianca, since she cannot wed until Kate does. Any man who's man enough to tackle the shrewish Kate wins a wealthy dowry, says her father, but is Kate too high a price to pay? Not for the recently destitute Petruchio. He arrives looking to wed for riches, not love. The meeting of Petruchio and Kate is one of the hallmark scenes in all of theatre.
But something happens after their name-calling, arm-wrestling, horse-riding, sleep-deprived, mutually-starved trip to the altar – they inexplicably fall in love.
Tickets for the April 23-24 Preview performances are $15. Free Will Kids' Nights are on April 24 and May 1. Press Opening is April 25 at 7:00 pm.
Sponsored by Ann and Wellford Tabor, and The Dunbar Abston Fund for Sustainable Excellence.
The Mid-South Schools Tour:
Shake(s), Rattle, & Roll
It's hip. It's cool. It's an adventure with the original SOUL MAN! Students will discover chart-topping, toe-tapping, feet-stomping, got-to-jump-out-of-your-seat-and-move-with-it SHAKESPEARE – direct from Memphis! Featuring Slade Kyle, two actors play with breathtaking dexterity through a whirlwind of scenes and soliloquies sure to make students want to SHOUT!
Directed and created by Stephanie Shine, Shake(s), Rattle, & Roll is a 45-minute show, with accompanying talk-back, that travels to schools in the Mid-South, across Tennessee, and throughout the Southeast from October 2013 through April 2014. Call TSC's Education Office to book your school or class at (901) 759-0620.

Henry V Trailer
Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, calls to action-packed theatrical life the battlefields and courts of an ambitious young king in William Shakespeare's masterwork on the chaos of war and the romance of peace: Henry V.
The rousing play famous for its many powerful speeches and orations, including "O for a muse of fire," and "Once more unto the breach," and "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers" plays in a fun, new "wooden o" on the University's mainstage from June 9-19.
Featuring a new, Elizabethan seating configuration that places patrons just off the raised stage (for only $10), a moving set, and slides of original wood-cuts from the early 15th century, TSC's production of Henry V employs ten professional actors, including AEA performers from around the country. They will play over 30 roles in what is perhaps Shakespeare's most theatrically self-aware play: "And let us, ciphers to this great account,/On your imaginary forces work."

Though costumed for 15th century battle and adorned for the period's courts of England and France, the company of actors constantly address their audience, changing costumes and characters in plan view, inviting the audience to become the eleventh actor.
The production's title sponsors are FedEx; Ann and Wellford Tabor; and Pat, Ernest, Marian, and Martha Kelly. Together, they make possible Free Will Kids' Night each Thursday night (up to four children 17 years and younger admitted free when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian). Additional funding is generously provided by the University of Memphis and First Tennessee Foundation.
Henry V is produced in memory of TSC friend, Dan Copp, who died in 2015. From 1943 to 1945, Lieutenant Copp served in the U.S. Navy on the battleship Tennessee. He saw action in the Pacific theater from the Aleutians to the South Sea Islands. With this production, TSC honors Dan's courage, service, and friendship.
Directed by TSC's Stephanie Shine (A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet), Henry V features a professional ensemble from around the country: Montana native Colton Swibold in the title role, Paul Kiernan (recently in TSC's Twelfth Night) as Fluellen/Canterbury/Cambridge/Burgundy, Gabriel Vaughan (recently in TSC's Twelfth Night) as Dauphin/Westmerland/Jamy/Williams, Phil Darius Wallace (recently in TSC's A Midsummer Night's Dream) as Exeter/Nym/Orleance, Michael Khanlarian (recently in TSC's All's Well That Ends Well) as Pistol/Constable, Heather Roberts (TSC's All's Well That Ends Well) as Montjoy/Quickly/Alice/MacMorris, and Kaitlyn Maurer (TSC's A Midsummer Night's Dream) as Katherine/Grey/French prisoner.
New to the acting company are Jeffrey David Kent as Gower/French King/Ely/Erpingham, Blake Currie as Gloucester/boy, and Nic Picou as Scroop/Borbon/Bates/Bardolph.Read More
Tennessee Shakespeare Company
Announces Eighth Season of Plays and Education Programs:

(Memphis, TN, September 1, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), the Mid-South's professional classical theatre, today announced its 2015-16 performance season, which commemorates the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death with a celebration of plays, readings, salons, feasts, and extensive programming for children.
TSC continues its cultural/educational partnerships with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance and with Dixon Gallery & Gardens. Full productions of Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well (Dixon) and Henry V (UofM) will feature professional, AEA casts from around the country and Memphis.
The Company also partners with the Memphis Hunt & Polo Club to feature three weeks of feasts and two-hour readings of Shakespeare plays that TSC has not yet produced. The Southern Literary Salons continue in September with a focus on Harper Lee, and in February spotlighting Ernest Hemingway in Key West. The Seventh Annual Shakespeare Gala at Germantown Performing Arts Center moves to April to commemorate Celebration 400 during the month of the 400th anniversary.
Running concurrently with the performance season are the expanded offerings of TSC's Education and Outreach Department.

Memphis, TN (July 27, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, presents its third and final developing musical reading on the U of M mainstage with The Oliver Experiment by Jeremy Desmon and Jeff Thomson on August 15 at 7:00 pm.Read More
Midsummer Night
Live music, glow sticks, and power chords!
Featuring Broadway's Katrina Lenk and Eric B. Anthony
Memphis, TN (June 15, 2015) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company, in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, presents its second developing musical reading on the U of M mainstage with Midsummer Night by Valerie Vigoda and Brendan Milburn on June 27 at 7:00 pm.
Tickets for the reading are just $15, or $10 for Students and Seniors.
Midsummer Night, directed by Janet Roston, is the second of three developing musicals in TSC's inaugural Showplace Memphis: Musical Works in Progress.
Broadway's Katrina Lenk and Eric B. Anthony
Sponsored by one of Broadway's elite musical licensing companies, Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW) and President/CEO Steve Spiegel, based in New York City, Showplace Memphis has been devised as the next creative stage for three musicals en route to full productions in New York and on the regional theatre circuit across the U.S. The first musical in Showplace Memphis last month was a very successful reading of Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney Musical. The final musical will be a charming and surprising new piece, The Oliver Experiment (August 15).
TRW has selected the musicals, and the Actors' Equity casts and directors are coming from all around the country and Memphis.
The cast includes Broadway's Katrina Lenk (Once; Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark; The Miracle Worker) as Titania and Eric B. Anthony (The Lion King; Hairspray; Mary Poppins) as Puck.
Songwriters Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda join with co-creator/director Janet Roston (Artistic Director of The Los Angeles Rock Opera Company) for this new take on William Shakespeare's beloved comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. The musical is set within a modern-day rock festival. It's a rollicking collision of rock music, iambic pentameter, and hipsters – where rock stars Titania and Oberon quarrel, festival assistant Puck creates havoc, and roadie Bottom gets a chance to shine.
Keyboardist Milburn and electric violinist Vigoda have been singing and writing songs together for over 20 years, first for their band GrooveLily, and more recently for musical theatre and film. Theatre: Striking Twelve, Sleeping Beauty Wakes, Beautiful Poison, Wheelhouse, Toy Story: The Musical, Long Short Story, A Midsummer Night's Dream, its complete reworking as the rock musical Midsummer Night, and Ernest Shackleton Loves Me. Film: many songs for Tinker Bell for Disney animated movies. Additional music is provided by Gene Lewin.
The Midsummer Night creators and cast will collaborate and rehearse at the U of M for ten days leading up to its reading. Though it will be going through both script and music changes, Midsummer Night will be played and sung in its entirety and with musical accompaniment on the U of M's mainstage. No other design elements (scenic/costumes/lights) will be integrated.
Audiences will have an opportunity to speak with the actors and creators of Midsummer Night immediately following its reading. Audiences also will inform the production by completing an audience survey that will help the creative team in future development phases.Read More

These easy, protein-packed granola bites are perfect for snacking on to reenergize your day. Kids and adults alike all love them!
Most days of the week, I stumble in from the gym and into the fridge, looking for a protein-packed snack to help me refuel after a workout. While these granola bites are pretty tiny, they pack TONS of tasty flavor and if you just need a "nosh", they're perfect for filling up fast.
The base is oatmeal, but peanut butter, honey and ground flaxseed also join the mix to make for a well-rounded snack. Flax seed is a taste-free, powdery additive full of heart-healthy omega 3's and fiber. You can find the ground variety at most health food stores, some groceries, and sometimes the food sections of discount retailers like Marshalls and Home Goods. It's also great for sneaking into cereal, oatmeal and yogurt!
Enjoy these nutritious little bites after a workout, stick 'em in the kiddos lunchbox, or snack on them to reenergize your day!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chrystal Tea of Love! My fiancé served this tea on our first date. He planned a beautiful picnic in a garden with blankets, pillows, flowers, tea sandwiches, PG Tips and cake. Even though it was a hot summer day in the garden, the tea was so good I drank every drop! On our second date, he brought me a box of PG Tips! I have always taken my tea with milk and sugar. This tea tastes so good with milk, I have even been able to ween myself off the sugar! PG Tips has been a constant in our relationship and when we have the chance, we always settle down with a pot of tea and conversation. I don't know how, but we will probably include PG Tips as a wedding favor for our wedding... exactly one year after our first date! January 7, 2013

I have this weird 'problem'... Since I've flashed my brick with Lejos it makes a soft periodic sound alternating between a buzz and a high-pitched sound every half second or so when its on. Its really soft, and you can only hear it when you are close to the device, but I'm sure it wasn't there before. Other than that it functions properly... so
Any idea what this might be? Is it the speaker or maybe the battery monitor?

Rated 5 out of 5 by veenu love it and bought two more! Can I just tell you how much I love this product? My friend recommended I check out world market online earring trees when I needed a way to organize my jewelry so I could see my earrings and not lose them. I couldn't be more pleased. I can now see all my earrings and the piece is so beautiful with jewelry on it that it has become a decoration piece! Everyone oohs and ahhs when they see it! I loved it so much that I bought another for myself and one for my mom! It is so perfect. I stayed up until midnight organizing my jewelry on it and excitedly took pictures to show my friend and my mom. Everyone loved it! Thanks guys! August 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SHaltom Just what I needed! I am delighted with this product. The odd number of holes on each tier is a puzzler but not a big deal. It looks beautiful with all the earrings in it and even holds some necklaces on the inside. I am very glad that I bought it! June 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by alistashley Cute & affordable organizer. LOVE this earring holder. My earrings were starting to clutter up in a different dish that I had been using, and with limited space I needed something that wasn't too clunky (jewelry armoires, that means you) but still able to hold a good bit. Found this in store and instantly fell in love with it! The distressed finish makes it a perfect addition to my bedroom, and the fact that it spins makes it fun and easy to use. My only issue: If you like to separate your earring pairs so that each has their own slot, you should know that they won't even out properly. There are 21 holes per ring, leaving you with a lonely, leftover slot on each tier. With four rings, that still gives you room for two additional pairs, but if you're a bit of an organizational fiend, it might not be your cup of tea. Even still, it's a charming pick for folks of all ages. Would I buy it again? Definitely. September 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Great display of earrings Earrings show well. Hanging earrings work best. It is a little hard to attach stud earrings. September 13, 2013

Here's the message - don't overlook your floors as canvases for art. And today's high-style rugs definitely qualify as art. "A quality, handcrafted carpet is a critical first step in amplifying a room's spirit and function," says Robin Gray whose describes her handmade custom and ready-made rugs as works of art for the floor. (They also make great wall hangings). She's right. Check out just a few of her bold, graphic pieces I spotted while visiting Regency Royale in SLC this week.
Jillian Arrowsmith showing me Robin Gray rugs and assorted pattern options.
"Gray works with artisans in India, and Nepal. Each carpet carries the GoodWeave imprimatur guaranteeing that no child labor was involved in its production, and that working conditions are of the highest standards." she explains. Now you can really feel great about making your floors look great.

Former Arkansas Treasurer Martha Shoffner is due in court to enter a plea to charges she steered state investments to a bond broker who paid her $36,000 in cash.
Shoffner is scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joe Volpe Thursday for her arraignment. Shoffner has said she plans to plead not guilty, but Volpe denied her request to waive her appearance at the hearing.
Shoffner was indicted June 5 on 14 federal counts of extortion and bribery charges. She was arrested at her Newport home last month after the FBI said it caught her on tape accepting a $6,000 payment from the broker, who hasn't been identified.
Shoffner resigned days after the arrest.
Shoffner has said she accepted the cash but did not intentionally steer investments to the broker.

Civil Rights — Past & Present
During the 2013-14 academic year, Bradley University will celebrate civil rights past and present in honor of the 50th anniversary of the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
From Bradley's beginning in 1897: the University maintained an open admission policy that provided for men and women, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic level or sexual orientation.
From Peoria's early days: In 1854, Abraham Lincoln gave one of the first and the most powerful public speeches against the extension of slavery in front of the city's courthouse and the nation knew that here was a place that sought to respect all people.
And, from its very roots: When Bradley University founder Lydia Moss Bradley and her husband Tobias looked for a place to settle, they insisted that it be in a non-slave state.
We have a year of exciting and informative events and activities planned around our theme. Please join us for an educational journey that takes place outside of the traditional classroom. We look forward to learning and being inspired by our guest speakers and special events centered on this landmark civil rights legislation.
Standing Together and only together will we continue to make much needed progress.

The Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph and Jewish Chronicle all report on a row that has erupted between Baroness Catherine Ashton, the EU High Representative on Foreign and Security Policy, and Israeli officials after an inaccurate transcript of comments she made at a conference on Palestinian youth was circulated.
Baroness Ashton, reflecting on the murders in Toulouse referred to the plight of innocent children caught in the crossfire of conflict around the world including in Gaza and Sderot, but her comments were reported as mentioning only Gaza inviting the rebuke of Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, for drawing a parallel between the "targeted massacre of children" and Israel's "surgical defensive actions … intended to strike at terrorists".
Both the Jewish Chronicle and the Daily Mail have failed to incorporate the corrected transcript of Ashton's comments mentioning "what is happening in Gaza and in Sderot and in different parts of the world," when the oversight was rectified by her office and her actual comments uploaded.
From the EU Observer:
"Just about every top politician in Israel has in the past 24 hours attacked EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton for her remarks about killing of Jewish and Palestinian children.
"One MP, Danny Danon, called her "anti-Semitic." Another, Einat Wilf, said: "Whoever says such things isn't worthy of representing the European Union."
"What Ashton actually said, at a UN conference on Palestinian refugees in Brussels on Monday (19 March), was: "When we remember what happened in Toulouse today, when we remember what happened when I was in Norway last week, a year ago. When we know what's happening in Syria, when we see what's happened in Gaza and Sderot, in different parts of the world, we remember young people and children who lose their lives."
"Reacting to the criticism, Ashton told MEPs at a hearing in the EU parliament on Tuesday: "I am really saddened at the distortion of my remarks ... I drew no parallel whatsoever between this tragedy and events elsewhere in the Middle East."
"The EU damage-control effort was not helped by its handling of the official transcript of her UN comments.
"The first version put online made no mention of the Gaza-rocket-pounded Israeli town of Sderot, indicating that her original intention was to make no allusion to Palestinian culpability. But a second version updated the text with her actual remarks, including Sderot, when the Israeli reactions began to come out.
"An EU diplomat earlier told this website that Ashton's visit to Gaza in 2010, where she saw first-hand the squalid living conditions and fear of Israeli air strikes, was "a life-changing experience" for the British politician."
Israeli officials have launched a vicious attack against Baroness Ashton. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for example stated that "What especially outrages me is the comparison between a targeted massacre of children and the surgical defensive actions of the IDF intended to strike at terrorists using children as human shields."
The dubious claim on the use of children as human shields aside, what Netanyahu's comments suggest is an unwillingness to countenance the suffering of Palestinian children on a daily basis.
Journalists and human rights campaigners have long advocated the level of suffering experienced Palestinian children under Israeli occupation; reports have highlighted issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, malnutrition, insufficient access to medical care, as well as the more overtly deliberate mistreatment of minors in Israeli custody (as highlighted in recent special reports by the Guardian and the Independent- here and here).
Moreover, what responses such as those expressed by the Israeli leadership cloud is the human suffering which unites people of different backgrounds, different faith and even those on opposite sides of a conflict. Those criticising Ashton should ask themselves if there is not a common innocence and tragedy which befalls all children caught up in violence and conflict situations, whatever their religious background and whomever the perpetrator.
The furore sparked by the misreporting of Lady Ashton's remarks, including pressure to force her resignation, raises questions of whether the slip is for some an opportunity to exploit the situation and seek a replacement for the role of EU foreign affairs chief. One who will be less critical of Israel.
A full transcript of Baroness Ashton's speech is available to read here.
