F.E.A.R. is the first notable attempt in a year at toppling the crown of valves epic Half-Life 2; a game that also seemed to have some similarities to busses where time keeping is concerned, although none at all when it comes to a rewarding experience. What we looked at then seemed extremely promising but have Monolith come up with a classic, and should we all be searching for a spare pair of pants? Read article

BSL (Scotland) Bill Update
SCoD welcomes the Bill as it has been introduced. SCoD would like to continue to support Mark Griffin MSP in his work on this Bill and we congratulate him on getting the Bill to this point. The first responses to us from our members have been very positive and that the Bill is clear and concise. There may be small adjustments to be made – for example, for an increase in scrutiny that involves Deaf BSL users; a sentence that is more inclusive of Deafblind BSL users; detailed guidance for the plans; and for the BSL plans to be published in BSL.
Several of our members have asked for more information about the Bill and the papers that come with it. We have put together a number of FAQs – available here – that should make things clearer. We will continue to update these as the Bill progresses through the Committee stages.

'Porgy' director: "I want to go to the theatre and feel my heart beat"
Diane Paulus won a Tony Award for "Pippin;" find out why she loves "The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess"
Diane Paulus, the Tony Award-winning director of "Porgy & Bess," remembers being "knocked out" when she saw the opera.
No wonder then that when the opportunity came to direct, she jumped.
Neapolitans should jump too, at least for tickets. "The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess" plays Artis–Naples Jan. 21-26, complete with a full 23-piece orchestra.
Paulus, who won a Tony for her circus-inspired take on Stephen Sondheim's "Pippin," was inspired by the many aspects of community in "Porgy." Her reinterpretation tweaks plot, dialogue and score to make the show more accessible to modern audiences.
"The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess" is set in Charleston. There, beautiful but tainted Bess struggles to break away from her past while crippled beggar Porgy dreams of a new life.
"They are the most unlikely of couples," Paulus said, describing Porgy and Bess. She calls their love story "heartbreaking," then tells me everything else she packed into the show.
"As much as there is this incredible love story in 'Porgy,'" Paulus said, "it is this story of Catfish Row."
"Hit song after hit song," Paulus said. "Viscerally emotional. There's love, trials. Even a hurricane."
"It's amazing," Nathaniel Stampley, the show's Porgy, said when I asked him to describe the show. "We get a chance to introduce 'Porgy & Bess' to another generation of theatre-goers."
Stampley explains what Paulus brought in translating the 1935 opera to the stage. She allowed far more opportunity for audiences to identify with the characters. There's "more clarity" in the storytelling, he said, as well as more emphasis on relationships in the Catfish Row community.
"Broadway puts the story first," he said. "In opera, the music is in the forefront."
"We're all human beings," Stampley said of the show's powerful message. "We all have the same strengths and weaknesses. We love the same, we hurt the same and we're all going to die."
Don't fret, fans of "Summertime," the "glorious music," as Stampley calls it, is still there.
"One of the great masterpieces," Paulus said of George Gershwin's score. "Such incredibly powerful songs in this show. We know these songs."
A laundry list of singers who covered the hits comes next. Miles Davis. Ella Fitzgerald. Fantasia Barrino.
"This show is in our culture, our DNA," Paulus said. "You go into the subway or into a crowded restaurant and you hear them. "[The songs] are part of fabric of our cultural landscape."
There's "Summertime," of course, recorded more than 33,000 times by different performers. And the list goes on. "It Ain't Necessarily So," "I Loves You Porgy," "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'" and "My Man's Gone Now."
I ask her favorite.
"Bess, You Is My Woman Now," Paulus answers. "[That song] just kills me. It's at the most fragile of moments, Bess allowing herself to be loved."
"Audiences might know what a score it is," Paulus adds, "but they don't know just how moved they're going to be."
How moved?
Paulus offers one final thought.
"I want to go to the theatre and feel my heart beat."

And a little more XCOM over on TLF… almost done!
And a little more XCOM over on TLF… almost done!
So my most recent As-I-Play of XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Part Seven – Girl Fight!) is up on TLF. It's getting close to the end…
Coming up in a couple weeks, Borderlands 2… I'm looking forward to it!
Amid the toxic fallout from August in the gaming world is an idea that's being championed by several feminist critics, including Leigh Alexander at Gamasutra, that the term "gamer" ought to be disposed with.
On the one hand, I completely sympathize with the sentiment that's behind the argument. "Gamers," by which she means the trollish minority of anti-feminist vocal MRA-supporting feminist-conspiracy-theory-touting subset of gamers, have of late been behaving like spoiled toddlers who have been told that they can't eat their entire birthday cake because other people should also get a slice.
But on the other, I think the knee-jerk impulse to excise the term from our vocabulary runs the risk of erasing a lot of what is good about being a gamer. Identifying with the rest of gamer culture – sharing common fandoms and conversations; enjoying the thrill of victory, whether in solo, co-op, or competitive play; experiencing the excitement of new game mechanics or technologies… all those things are also a part of being a gamer. I've found more friends by identifying as a gamer (both board games and videogames) than I have by identifying as anything else. I'd hate to lose that.
I understand, too, the argument that games are becoming an increasingly ubiquitous part of our culture. They are. More people play games – especially casual mobile games – than ever before… or do they? Solitaire has been a staple of people's lives since they could make cards. Dice (or knuckle-bones) can be solitaire, co-op, and competitive, too. In short, whether playing a sport, a board/card game, or a videogame, human beings have been gamers of varying degrees for all eternity. Just because more people play Candy Crush and Flappy Bird than used to play Minesweeper doesn't mean that there isn't a distinction between those folks who are gamers, and Gamers.
Certainly, there isn't a level of monetary commitment one can give to become a Gamer (per a current argument), nor dedicated hours to gaming, nor ownership of a particular set of machinery. Being a Gamer is about attitude and ownership of the identity (not the paraphernalia). It's about putting games before a lot of other things, and wanting to put games before other things because of the positives that gaming represents.
Being a Gamer, to me, means being willing to take risks. It also means wanting to never let go of the impulse to play. Playfulness, and the embrasure of the fantastic that comes with it, is something our society as a whole is sorely lacking. Playfulness can manifest in many ways, not just through gaming, but gaming is, to me at least, one of the most concrete ways that adults have the opportunity to remain playful in a world that is otherwise harsh, unfair, and stressful.
Play is important – physical play, cosplay, identity play, virtual play… all kinds of play that help us to define and redefine ourselves and our beliefs, to experiment with new patterns of thought and ways of engaging with the world, to work out our frustrations in a safe way. And Gamers are (some of the) people who value play more than most.
And that's why I want to not just hold on to the Gamer identity, but to reclaim it and encourage people to embrace it.
I just read the best summary of this week in gaming that I've seen thus far by Chris Plante on Polygon:
Two groups are at opposite ends of this moment:
One side has folded its arms, slumped its shoulders while pouting like an obstinate child that has learned they are getting a little brother or sister but wants to remain the singular focus of his parents affection.
The other side has opened its arms, unable to contain its love and compassion, because they understand they are no longer alone.
This week, the obstinate child threw a temper tantrum, and the industry was stuck in the metaphorical grocery store as everyone was forced to suffer through it together. But unlike a child, the people behind these temper tantrums are hurting others. It's time to grow up. Let's not wait until next week to start.
It's a fantastic summary of what's happening between the so-called "hardcore" gaming fans (a group into which I'm pretty sure I fit by any definition other than one that involves gender- or physical hygiene- or dwelling-place-stereotypes) and gaming's diversity critics (those talking about race and sexuality as well as gender). The final paragraph in particular sums up the horrible feeling of embarrassment that I have as a gamer and a critic over being forced not only to watch, but to take part (partially against my will), like the parent or babysitter or older sibling.
What can we, as the responsible party in this tantrum, do? As with small children, we can't abandon them, we can't smack them, and we don't want to be seen with them, but they are our responsibility and even our family. They, like us, are a part of this community, even sometimes against both our wishes. So we have to do what good parents do: don't encourage, don't take the bait, and wait – patiently or impatiently, as the case may be – for the child to wear itself out and grow up.
In a (hopefully) much less controversial post – my latest As-I-Play post on XCOM: Enemy Unknown is up over at TLF.
In a side note, I'd originally titled the post "Stop, Don't Shoot" when I started writing it the day before the Ferguson protests started. When I went back to keep updating the post I decided that would be a bit tasteless, so you get the title noted above instead.
Yesterday, Anita Sarkeesian of Feminist Frequency released a new Tropes vs. Women in Video Games video – part two of "Women as Background Decoration." As per usual, people seem to either love it or hate it (and I'm pretty sure most of them have come to their respective conclusions before ever clicking on the link or pushing play.
I did a write-up response over on TLF, also as per usual.
On a related but not-repeated-in-my-TLF-post note, I'm starting to become irritated by the people I think of as Sarkeesian cheerleaders (none of whom I know personally, by the way). Not anywhere near to the level with which I am disgusted by the trolls who attack her, mind you, but, I think, in large part because of them.
These are the people to whom Sarkessian can do or say no wrong. Every word, every clip, every tweet are sacrosanct nuggets of gold in the feminist fight against the ravening trollish hordes.
And, to be honest, I can sympathize with the impulse because she is fighting the proverbial good fight. She's doing good work, or at least work for good (although arguably a little of each). I don't want her to stop making her video series, nor do I want her to be subject to the harassment that characterizes (and escalates with) every release of another episode.
But I also think that to hold Sarkeesian up as the pillar of feminist criticism of videogames is problematic and does a disservice to criticism itself on a couple levels.
First – and most importantly as far as I'm concerned – it suggests that to engage with criticism (metacriticism, if you will) is to devalue it and render it meaningless. If that were the case, no academic ever would have a job. The purpose of criticism is to have a critical conversation, which includes discussion and dissent, that engages with both the primary material (here, videogames) and the other critics (Sarkeesian).
Second, the valorization of Sarkeesian as a paragon of feminist criticism creates a black-and-white template in which videogames are seen as either feminist or misogynist, with no room in the middle.
Finally, it polarizes the people surrounding the discussions. If I'm not with Sarkeesian 100%, then I must support the trolls. This is a false dichotomy that hurts feminists and intelligent criticism far more than it hurts the trolls.
Nuance is important. Critical conversations are important. If I take issue with Sarkeesian's depiction of one game among many – Dishonored, for instance – then there should be no problem with me pointing that out. I'm not saying that her work is bad. I'm not saying that there is nothing of value in the episode. I am saying that I disagree with this one point – to criticize a single point is to engage her work in conversation, which, so long as it is done respectfully, ought to be the objective of any critic's work.
So don't wave your finger in my direction and say "But you only don't like this one example" as a reason why my entire criticism is invalid. No, I don't like that example, and that's okay. As Sarkeesian herself says at the start of every episode, it is possible – even positive – for us to criticize the things we like. So instead of name-calling and accusations (from anyone), let's have a conversation.
What did you like in this episode? What didn't you like? Was there a game you thought was missing? A game you thought was misrepresented?
So recent events – of which I'm sure many of you are aware – in the games-journalism world have me thinking about the nature of sexism and how privilege corrupts the idea of social justice. Not only have people been throwing around the term "social justice warrior" as both a personal banner and an insult, depending on one's political and social position, but I've seen several instances of "journalism is corrupt!" being thrown about without anyone really interrogating what that means.
First, and probably most obviously, is the Zoe Quinn debacle in which the developer of Depression Quest (which I've been meaning to play but haven't gotten to in my queue just yet) had some sort of sexual relationship with a person who is not her boyfriend. I'm a little sketchy on the details and would mostly prefer to stay that way, but the end result is that her now-ex-boyfriend got hurt (emotionally and/or pridefully) and marshaled 4chan to recoup his tarnished honor.
I'm not questioning whether or not he has the right to feel hurt by adultery or betrayal or cheating or even being rapidly replaced or whatever it is that happened. He does, absolutely. It's a shitty position in which to be. But that does not give him the right to attack his ex in the manner and to the degree in which he has. Getting a bunch of people to threaten the mental and physical well-being of another person, getting people to post private information and photographs to the public internet, and having people harass said person about her "integrity" and "ethics" while committing unconscionable acts of emotional assault are not appropriate and are in fact horrific and should be arrest-worthy.
Today, I saw this tweet:
.@stephentotilo: Image confirms @patriciaxh had relationship with devs while covering them. Will you investigate?http://t.co/6McAorHJNl
— Subtle Blend (@subtleblend) August 24, 2014
This person's feed is full of disparaging tweets about Quinn, and has now attacked Kotaku's Patricia Hernandez (via Stephen Totilo, editor for Kotaku) for supposed illicit affairs with game devs.
Totilo's policy seems to be that so long as the developers aren't gaining unfairly positive reviews from the relationships, and that the reporters just avoid reporting about those particular devs when possible, it's fine:
My standard has long been this: reporters who are in any way close to people they might report on should recuse themselves …(3)
— Stephen Totilo (@stephentotilo) August 19, 2014
…from reporting about those with whom their close. If they must report about them, disclosure is mandatory. Readers deserve that. (4)
— Stephen Totilo (@stephentotilo) August 19, 2014
@subtleblend seems to think that in the really incredibly small developer-journalist community that any sort of human interaction qualifies as a "relationship." Certainly, advocating about how awesome a developer's game is when one is in a position to influence sales is problematic, but most of the "proof" offered by @subtleblend of bias are collections of quotes and links to Anna Anthropy's blog or games site – not actual reviews. One of them did suggest that one of Anthropy's creations is "cute," but was not the kind of "drop-everything-and-buy-it" kind of review that one would expect from a biased journalist.
But even if there is something problematic about Hernandez's friendship with Anthropy here, the question that no one has yet asked remains: why is it that all of a sudden "everyone" (men) is concerned with journalistic ethics specifically surrounding primarily female developers? Hernandez – who has received her share of harassment in the past simply for being female and a games journalist – is also female, and is therefore subject to this campaign, but notice how the person being harassed in the Zoe Quinn "scandal" is primarily Zoe – and not the other (male) party.
With the exception of Phil Fish (whose life has been thoroughly screwed-with), the subjects of these harassment campaigns are women: Anita Sarkeesian, Carolyn Petit, Anna Anthropy, Zoe Quinn, Patricia Hernandez. What the trollish hordes have concluded (*cough* manufactured *cough*) from this is that women are therefore a threat to journalistic ethics. Not my words, theirs, as Zoya Street explains on Border House. All of which comes down to the same sexist "fears" that women will somehow "corrupt" or "take away" the male-dominated arena of games – both development and journalism, which is – of course – complete bullshit.
Finally, this is the point where I feel the need to say that as a critic of games who is also married to a game developer, banning journalists and critics from any sort of fraternization with game devs is downright idiotic.Now I'm not in a position to give any noticeable benefit to said developer, so my ethics aren't really in question, but I've written on games he's developed and said both positive and negative things about them as a player and a critic because that's my job. Would it be sketchy for me to say that a game my husband worked on is the best thing ever and everyone should buy it? Only if I didn't really think so.
Totilo's point that it's "better" for journalists to be upfront about their relationship with developers allows readers to say "how honest is this? how much does the author's liking of this developer influence their thoughts?" I get why that might be a good CYA for an editor, and why readers might want to be informed of all the elements going into a decision.
But. And this is a but that is mostly applicable for women, both journalists and devs, the disclosure of that information also leads to dismissal – "she's only saying she likes it because she's sleeping with him/he's only saying that because she's sleeping with him." If that is true, it's a problem, but the assumption typically comes with a heavy dose of sexist presumption (in both directions).
In any industry, people marry other people in the industry, people sleep with other people in the industry, and so on. It happens in movies, in music, in tv, in publishing, in games, in academia. Should there be cronyism policies in place? Probably to ensure avoidance of worst-case scenarios, but if both people are capable of conducting themselves like adults, then there shouldn't be an issue. Obviously, there are cases where people can't act like adults, where they publish nude photos and release private information out of spite, but then those are the people who should be punished.
The long and short of it is that people are people. People will become involved with other people in their field of interest because that's what brings people together, whether romantically or platonically. Some of those people will be women. It's time the games industry caught up with the rest of the planet, puts on its big-kid pants, and starts acting like an adult.
The fifth installment of my As-I-Play XCOM series is up over at TLF.
You can use the As-I-Play category tag to find the rest.
This week, Gamespot ran a piece on how Dontnod, the developer who made Remember Me and is currently working on Life is Strange, isn't "trying to fix the industry" by featuring female leads. This struck me as odd on a couple of levels.
First, Dontnod is "trying to fix the industry" by having female leads, but not in a pushy kind of way, which is probably why they said what they did:
"That's not us trying to be different for the sake of being different," creative director Jean-Maxime Moris told Joystiq at Gamescom. "It's not as if we're trying to 'fix the industry.'"
What this says to me is that Dontnod is trying to make games that are good, games that are unique or "fresh" (to use one of the buzzwords), games that aren't the same cookie-cutter white-male-shooter games that everyone else seems to think is required for success. What that means, really, is that they are trying to be different, but not "for the sake of being different" – the idea is to make an original game because that's a good thing, not just to shock people or stick out like a sore thumb.
I find it a little odd that people disparage the idea of being different "for the sake of being different" – that somehow wanting to make something original is not a legitimate goal in and of itself. But that is as it is. Certainly, if a company wants to be successful, they need to make a game that is fun, a game that is popular, but I'm not sure why Moris went out of his way to assure players that "being different" isn't one of the goals.
Second, art director Michel Koch explains the presence of female leads by saying that
"We have women in the dev team–not that many because it's still the video game industry and there are not that many women–but we have women working on the game," Koch said. "And our writer, which is an American writer we've worked with before, he's consulting with his nieces. He's showing scripts to them, to read it and see if it feels genuine and fresh."
There are women on the team. (Admittedly, having women on a development team is a thing that is sadly rare, but here seems more like an apology than a reasonable statement – but that could be the way it's framed and not what Koch intended at all.) Women are a part of the development process, and the game has female leads. Sadly, this is as unusual and innovative as the article frames it – but it shouldn't be.
But that aside, the headline – like the quote – also makes some basic assumptions about videogames and gamers that is still bothersome. It has become headline-worthy point when a developer makes not one, but two games in a row that feature female leads (that aren't a series, like Tomb Raider). My god. I applaud Dontnod for doing it, mind you, but I'd rather see the headline be about the game instead of about a developer defending the choice to make two games in a row featuring female leads.
To be perfectly clear, this is not a post about games or gaming or the gaming community, although it is something that happens in the gaming community and could therefore be applicable. Mostly, it's about something that happens when I go to the grocery store, and when women in general walk down the street, go shopping, or pretty much do anything: catcalling.
Catcalling can be insulting, raunchy, or phrased in the words of compliment. But it isn't. Claire Zulkey tries to explain this in "A Conversation About Friendly Catcalling With My Husband," posted on Jezebel. Her main point in the piece is that being catcalled – even, as in the case she describes, with a compliment – is disconcerting and disruptive. She also points out that there's a difference between commenting on someone's person and commenting on their clothes – a point that I think she's right about.
She says that women generally comment on one another's clothing choices or style – and I've noticed that when strangers (male or female) comment on my clothes I'm always significantly less creeped out than when they comment on my body, body parts, or general attractiveness. If someone passing me on a hiking trail says they like my Aperture Science shirt, I know they're a geek and they get the joke. If someone likes my crazy striped tights, I know they have a sense of whimsy. Those things aren't creepy.
When someone calls out "Hey baby" or "Hey beautiful!" or "Work it baby!" (all things that have been yelled at me while walking to and from the grocery store, although the oddest may be "I like your truck – wanna go for a ride in it?" in the grocery store parking lot). And these comments apply whether the catcall is positive or negative – calling out something about a person's weight or poor fashion sense or hair or body odor or presumed sexuality is equally unacceptable.
To me, it isn't just that catcalling is disconcerting (although it is). It's that it assumes that I personally care what you, a random stranger, think about my body. (What you think about my clothes is only slightly more relevant, as I dress deliberately, but still not really, and I'd prefer that people I don't know keep their opinions about both to themselves.)
Catcalling, most of the time, is aimed at women and perpetrated by men (although not always), and therefore presumes a certain level of domination and ownership. People who catcall – usually men – assume that their opinion about someone else's appearance or self-presentation is more valid than that person's own.
Worse, commenting on my physicality presumes not only that I care what you think about my body, but that you have a right to judge my body. You don't. The only people allowed to judge my body are me, my spouse, and my medical professionals (although they hold questionable status so long as they rely on BMI instead of fitness as a measure – long story).
If you're ever in a position where you have the urge to say something to someone, try this staple: "Hi." Or "Good morning/afternoon/evening." Or "How's it going?" (which in many parts of the country does not actually require an answer in the conventional sense, but a "How're you?" in response). If the person you address smiles and replies, then you've maybe made their day brighter. If they introduce themselves or begin a conversation, maybe you'll make a friend. If they look startled, they have the default "Hello" or "Fine, and you?" response to make back, but do not pursue the conversation. They aren't interested – but at least you haven't made them feel horribly self-conscious or objectified in the process.

As the obesity and diabetes epidemics run rampant across the United States, researchers from macros the country have been studying food eating behavior and nutritional regimes to find what could work to stem the tide. Recently, University of California San Francisco launched a new science and education initiative focused on studying and teaching about the effects of added sugars in our diets.
This program was launched after an exhaustive review of more than 8000 scientific papers was analyzed by researchers from UCSF, UC Davis and Emory University on the health effects of added sugars. Additionally, the meta-analysis showed strong ties between the overconsumption of sugars and the drastically increasing prevalence of chronic diseases.
The initiative's goal is to take the findings from scientific journals and showcase them to the public in ways that allows individuals and communities to improve their own health outcomes. A main target of the initiative and release of this information is that added sugars could be any sugar added at the table, in cooking or in the processing of food. It's important that whether you're in business like Susan McGalla or busy with school that you take an effort to learn more about how much added sugar they are eating since about 74% of processed foods have sugar added under 60 different names on food labels.
Overall, the extensive network of research infrastructure from all of its medical disciplines will be utilized in the effort with members from basic science, population and policy science and translational science.

Yes. Exactly. Thank you.
Is it totally lame that this made me cry?
as always. thank you :)
was this written for TDOR?
well, nevermind. it would help if i read the title!
In my hometown, the Trans Day of Remembrance had an event at the police station where a speech was given saying that the police and paramedics are there to support the community. They talked about violence towards the trans community. This was followed by a march towards Parliament, and concluded with a candle light vigil. Overall, it was very well attended. I have pics of it here.
Thanks for making your comic.
beautifully written and inked, and definitely made me tear up.
well done.
Beautiful. And I don't know if you realize this or know, but this particular post swept through tumblr like a freaking tsunami that day. I was seeing it everywhere! So awesome.
I can only thank you.

Several years ago, when my husband was appointed to the staff of a large congregation in another Conference, I had the opportunity of being present on Sunday mornings a few weeks before we were introduced to the congregation.
Since I am used to worshipping alone in new places, I found myself wandering around the campus on two separate Sunday mornings just to observe how this congregation functioned. I was amazed at how difficult it was to catch anyone's eyes to exchange a friendly greeting and further amazed that I was the one who made myself available to help new people find the nursery and children's classes – luckily I had a tour the previous week! Once we were introduced much of this behavior changed, but for me it was already too late – most of the "traditional, sanctuary people" had shown themselves to be inhospitable to new-comers, so I invested in the "contemporary, gym congregation".
Each year on the day before Thanksgiving, Centenary UMC in Los Angeles has a Turkey Lock-In. Young people spend the evening cooking turkey dinners for shut-ins and low income families. On Thanksgiving, they deliver dishes with meat, vegetables and a side of caring to their neighbors. Jim Karita is one of the grateful recipients: "I wouldn't have any Thanksgiving if it weren't for these fellas with the church. We just appreciate what they're doing for us."Watch more on our YouTube channel »

The Economy of Forgiveness
By Doug Holladay
The British poet and playwright Hannah Moore referred to forgiveness as the "economy of the heart." She explained, "It saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits."
Along with gratitude, all the world's spiritual traditions also emphasize the importance of forgiveness. For many people, however, forgiveness is a more challenging attitude to embrace. As the great English poet Alexander Pope noted, "To err is human, to forgive divine." Not surprisingly, contemporary science has begun to demonstrate the benefits of this divine attribute.
The practice of forgiveness boosts the immune system, lowers high blood pressure, reduces anxiety and depression, and improves sleep patterns, according to Fred Luskin, PhD, director of the Forgiveness Project at Stanford University and author of Forgive for Good. And Dr. Luskin's research suggests that forgiveness is a skill that can be learned. Developing your skill in forgiveness is easier when you remember the following points.

California CASA congratulates San Francisco CASA's Gail Nebenzahl on being named California Volunteer of the Year!
Fourth generation San Franciscan Gail Nebenzahl was awarded the Governor's California Volunteer of the Year Award at a ceremony in the Presidio this morning. Nebenzahl recently completed her service as a board member of SFCASA (San Francisco Court Appointed Special Advocates), after serving as a volunteer advocate. Since 2000, when Gail completed her 40 hours of training and was sworn in by a judge as a CASA, she has worked tirelessly to support the healthy development of children in foster care in San Francisco.
"Gail is the perfect role model of a committed California volunteer. She is not only deeply passionate about foster youth, she also wants to get more people involved in the issue she cares so much about. And she does all this with her trademark humility." – Karen Baker, Chief Service Officer – California Volunteers.
SFCASA's executive director Renee Espinoza also shared "Every youth needs a consistent, supportive adult and Gail not only provided that role for her own family, and for three youth in the foster care system, she also recruited countless volunteers and raised funds to ensure that SFCASA could provide that advocacy and mentoring for hundreds of foster youth each year."
When told of the Award, Gail said "I'm always hesitant to share the story of the work I've done, not just because it needs to be kept confidential but because I'm dealing with real people that I care about. I believe everyone in the family I've worked with deserves respect and I'd never want them to think that I do this for accolades. At the same time I believe every child in foster care should have a CASA and for that to happen, I know we need to spread the word widely. Being a CASA is a wonderful, rich experience for the volunteer advocate, as well!"
A fourth generation San Franciscan, Gail holds a BS from the University of California, San Francisco and earned her MA in Anthropology from San Francisco State University at age 60. While raising three children with her husband Bernard, Gail worked as a dental hygienist for twenty nine years, was active in the integration of public schools, and marched in Civil Rights rallies. She has served on the Board of Cross Cultural Family Center, Jewish Family and Children's Services, and Women's Interfaith Dialogue on the Mideast.
San Francisco CASA is currently recruiting for new advocates, with information sessions held regularly in San Francisco's Mission district. See the volunteer page for more information.
