More than thirty years after the second wave of the women's movement, girls and women in the United States have made great strides. Today's young women imagine a life full of possibilities and free of barriers. But there is a long way to go. Women still occupy only a small fraction of the top leadership positions in government and the corporate world.
You can help to make a difference.
The Young Women's Leadership Institute takes the complex relationship between gender and leadership as its focus. Students will develop action-oriented leadership plans during the session.
Barnard College has itself been a distinguished leader in the higher education of women since its founding in 1889, and Barnard has produced graduates who go on to extraordinary leadership roles in a wide range of fields.
Young Women's Leadership Institute participants should be curious, passionate, and willing to take risks. The Young Women's Leadership Institute will allow you to develop those qualities and push you in new directions as you explore leadership through a feminist lens. You will have a unique opportunity to learn from college faculty and staff, current students, alumnae, and other professional facilitators. Reading and writing assignments, along with off-campus site visits in New York City, will all be part of your experience.
The academic foundation of the institute will focus on gender issues, social change, and leadership in the form of a morning class. Students will choose from one of the following morning courses:
Women's Studies 101 (Julie Bleha)
This course serves as an introduction to the field of women's studies. The class begins with an interrogation of the term feminism, and broadens into a three-part inquiry: an exploration of women's history, an introduction to some important concepts of women's studies, and an appraisal of some contemporary issues in women's studies including studies of women in business and law, politics, journalism, the arts, education, and healthcare. The instructor will bring the class's unique perspective to bear on the program's broader themes, through dialogue with the sister class on the film watched as a joint project.
Women, Men, Families, and States (Maxine Weisgrau)
This course explores ideas about gender and society, and how they play out in families in different cultures. We will look at women's and men's roles as social constructions, and discuss feminist perspectives on family and politics. Contemporary controversies around defining American families will illustrate discussions of how ideas about gender and parenting are negotiated and contested. The class will also explore the concepts of civic engagement, research design and information gathering in advocacy initiatives developed by the students.
After morning class, students move on to full afternoons of workshops, seminars, and discussions. Finally, you will apply what you've learned by participating in a Leadership Lab project. Working in small groups, you will design and execute a project to improve the pre-college community, and share what you have accomplished at a student-run conference.
The intensive nature of the Young Women's Leadership Institute program will build a strong sense of community among its participants. While much learning will take place in traditional classroom settings, the residence hall will also be an important site for intellectual and social development, so all Leadership Institute students must live on campus in air-conditioned housing.
And as if that weren't enough, Leadership Institute students will meet with Barnard alumnae in their workplaces. These sessions introduce you to different fields and the education or professional training they require.
In past summers, students have met with professionals from organizations such as the National Organization for Women, the Third Wave Foundation, the Women's Bureau of the US Department of Labor, film centers, photo studios, and MTV/Viacom.

Online holiday spending to hit $43.4 billion this year
Online retailers will have good reason to make merry this holiday season.
People shopping via the Internet will spend to the tune of $43.4 billion during November and December, according to a report out today from ComScore.
That figure is a 17 percent gain over last year's online holiday spending, which itself rose 15 percent over 2010's number. It's also way ahead of the retail industry's expectation of just a 4.1 percent rise in overall consumer spending this season.
"The strength leading up to and during the holiday season-to-date, in addition to a … Read more

"According to opinions in the lower courts, people may be strip-searched after arrests for violating a leash law, driving without a license and failing to pay child support. Citing examples from briefs submitted to the Supreme Court, Justice Breyer wrote that people have been subjected to "the humiliation of a visual strip search" after being arrested for driving with a noisy muffler, failing to use a turn signal and riding a bicycle without an audible bell. A nun was strip-searched, he wrote, after an arrest for trespassing during an antiwar demonstration." http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/03/us/jus...wanted=all
Those are all perfect examples of how screwed up the system is. Thank Geo. Stuff just makes me shake my head and curse.

Is there knowledge-tree document management alternative based on php and MySQL for self-hosted Knowledge management apps?
What kind of documentation do you need it for? Internal as in an intranet? External as in help docs? I've never heard of knowledgetree, but I'd have to agree with paintturtle. We used their free open source core product for our intranet at my old company and we're just starting to use their TCS "social knowledge base" for our help documentation where I am now. | |||||||||
Not sure if this helps you or not since like knowledge-tree, MindTouch TCS is a cloud-based business solution. It is an extremely flexible knowledge base created with keeping teams of business professionals in mind with it's WYSIWYG editor. The desktop connector helps you manage and import your Microsoft Office documents --- so no new tools to learn. :) If you really need a self-hosted solution you may want to look into MindTouch Platform. It doesn't have the useful knowledge base features such as self organizing content. It is, however, still a great way for teams to collaborate and you can still use the desktop connector for your Office docs. And there is a free trial. Best of luck to you! | ||||

Lot of mixed press:
Deadline Hollywood
Hollywood Reporter
I'm very surprised to hear some showgoers say it looked like a soap opera! Obviously, people are going to have to get used to the frame rate so they can judge the film for what it is -- dramatically and technically.
Well, they can always fix it in post if they decide so (or the studio makes them to).
Honestly, I'm not surprised to see this kind of reaction, even watching something in 30p makes me fell that it looks like video, not to mention 48fps.
It'll take time for people to adjust to this new format and ultimately the audience will decide if it's good enough or not, in other words if they want to see it on screen.

If anyone owns a samsung HD tv with Auto motion plus, im sure this is what its like. I HATE when auto motion plus is on. makes it have that soap opera feel to it. great for sports when you wanna see the action, but for anything else its total crap. I like the motion blur from 24fps. it gives me that fantasy feeling. I dont want to feel like its real. i hope it doesnt end up looking like that samsung tv. keeping my fingers crossed.
Brilliant marketing ploy. I will have to see it at least twice now - once at 48 and 24. :)
I know what you mean, Domenic. Every time I go into a TV section of a tech store there are tens of LCD TVs and for some reason this mode is enabled on all of them.
And they usually show big Hollywood blockbusters that look like they were shot on Sony DVCam. It just freaks me out.
At NAB Christie was showing a high fps test James Cameron shot. It showed 3D at 24, 48, and 60 side by side. It was awesome to see this in person. High fps is definitely the way to go on a 3D film. I don't care too much for 3D, but when presented like this you forget you are watching stereo and can watch the film. They also showed footage acquired at 48 and 60 projected at 24 and I couldn't see a difference with the footage shot at 24.
3D should be high fps. 2D should be 24
I think this is one of the most interesting things I've read on REDUSER in a while. Didn't realize that the frame rate jump in 3D could make such a difference. Very, very interesting...
I wonder why? Is it because your eye splits it in two? So 48fps divided by 2 is essentially 24frames for each eye? Kind of like how interlacing is blending two fields at once, is 3D sterescopic the blending of two streams of data, and in this case you need to double the frame rate in order replicate the "feel" of 24?
Does that mean the shutter speed is going up to? To 96? That wouldn't give you the motion blur we're used to in 24. I wonder if they "add" motion blur when they down-convert the 3D back to 2D.
Haven't seen this so I won't judge it until then. Tried to shoot some footage on my Epic at 48fps and didn't really liked what I saw in 2D, however.

GlamModelz.com Magazine would like to extend a warm and hardy welcome to Jeff of DeHaven Digital Photography as one of our newest Contributing Photographers. Jeff, from Littleton, Colorado is available for commercial, fashion, portraiture, pinup and glamour projects. Jeff's work inspires us with his unique, creative eye for beauty, fashion, glamour and his awe inspiring talent in lighting. GlamModelz.com Magazine is proud and honored to have him on the team and we look forward to his creative style adding to our own.
GlamModelz Magazine: Let's get started! Tell me about your background…how did you get started in Photography?
Jeff DeHaven: I am what you might consider a "late bloomer" in the realm of photography. I started out at an early age in the broadcasting and television business; moved into video editing, then onto computer animation, and recently photography. As a whole I have always had an interest in visual arts. Through chance and networking, I stumbled into a large scale glamour shoot for a local bar that wanted a calendar produced featuring their waitresses. I have been shooting ever since. It has become a passion, an obsession, and I am driven to improve with every day and every shoot.
GlamModelz Magazine: Why Glamour, Beauty? What other genre's and styles interest you?
Jeff DeHaven: Glamour, Beauty, Fashion are all genres that connect the viewer and model in a very visceral and uniquely intimate way. It is a moment in time, a capture of pure beauty that is stopped and preserved by the image–using techniques that our eyes would never process–the high intensity of studio lighting enhancing skin tone or the reflection of sunlight outdoors for fill light. "The tricks of the trade" to create that perfect moment in time and the end results from this creative exercise are very fulfilling to me. Getting that perfect capture of a beautiful model is a collaboration that creates art that I am proud to display, and one that the model can share in as well.
I enjoy a large spectrum of photography styles and genres, particularly macro and HDR (high dynamic range) landscape photography.
Macro photography is a joy, as you create images that bring the smallest details or elements and make them larger than life. Seeing the pollen particles on a flower, or the tiny hooks on a Praying Mantis' arms, or a more recent obsession: water droplets- capturing the moment of impact.
HDR landscape photography creates powerfully toned images that represent a full spectrum of exposure that would otherwise be impossible in a single capture. It is a combination of several exposures (image captures) to combine, tonemap and better represent the full gamut of what our eyes can see. For example, when you expose an image for the foreground, and it's a very sunny day, you may acquire a decent capture, although the sky is blown out to pure white. If you expose that same image for the sky, trying to capture all the cloud details and blue, you will end up with a very dark foreground. However; if you take several exposures (captures), one balanced, the second two stops above and a third image that is two stops below, then combine them into a High Dynamic Range image (HDR) and then tonemap that image for viewing using a program like photomatix, then you are playing with some fun stuff!
GlamModelz Magazine: What or who inspires you as a photographer?
Jeff DeHaven: My fellow GlamModelz photographers are certainly an inspiration to me. In fact, Dave Davis is largely responsible for the success of my first large scale studio glamour shoot. I am also driven, compelled, obsessed with creating art and imagery that grabs people's attention. I am fortunate to have friends that have worked in the industry and offer me real critique to help improve my craft.
GlamModelz Magazine: What challenges do you face in this industry? What would you change about it, if you could?
Jeff DeHaven: There is definitely a lot of competition in this industry, as well as technical challenges. There is nothing I could do to change that fact, however I look at these challenges as an opportunity, educational and mental, to improve my work constantly. To rise above the competition and show what a truly driven and passionate individual can accomplish.
GlamModelz Magazine: What equipment is essential for you as a photographer, to capture your "best shot"?
Jeff DeHaven: Good glass and quality lighting is key for me. It doesn't matter what camera you use, but a sharp lens and proper use of lighting can make or break an image. I happen to use Canon gear, specifically the EOS 5D MkII and all my lenses are "L" series, which are top of the line for Canon cameras.
GlamModelz Magazine: Paid vs. TF* shoots – What are your views and preferences?
Jeff DeHaven: I am still building a portfolio in glamour and fashion photography, it is a constantly evolving genre, so I will work with models interested in enhancing their portfolio as well. There is a well known saying that if you are good at something, never do it for free- and I do charge for portrait work among many other commercial venues of photography–see my website: www.dehavendigital.com . I can see the value in exchanging my time for quality portfolio pieces as both parties can benefit greatly.
GlamModelz Magazine: How would you best describe your personal style?
Jeff DeHaven: Under construction! I am evolving as I go; not sure how to pin down a particular style, but I tend to enjoy a more vibrant and warm style of image- where the colors are rich, the tones are balanced and the resulting image shows depth.
GlamModelz Magazine: What drives you?
Jeff DeHaven: My son is my world, a source of inspiration for me to be the best I can. To set an example for him. I am also driven by a passion for excellence, constant improvement.
GlamModelz Magazine: What qualities should Models/MUA's/Stylists, etc have to work with you?
Jeff DeHaven: Be professional, on-time, ready. Have fun, have a sense of humor, know how to "work it"! Makeup artists and stylists put in alot of time just like the photographer and model. When everyone is working and doing their part, enjoying themselves, magic and epic images are the result.
GlamModelz Magazine: Tell us about your biggest accomplishment to date or what makes you most proud.
Jeff DeHaven: My career in both Photography and I.T. are all self taught, and I am very proud of my ambitions bearing fruit. I have a strong will and determination to learn and improve, and that is a great source of pride for me. As of 2010 I am a full time photographer, this is my business and profession.
GlamModelz Magazine: What advice do you have for new/amateur photographers who want to shoot glamour?
Jeff DeHaven: Be passionate, dedicated to learning and don't ever fall into a trap where you think you know more than anyone else. There is always more to learn… about everything. Do research, try tutorials, read the information on Glammodelz.com and other sites or blogs like Strobist.com. Don't be afraid to try new things or "break the rules". Use your camera equipment and experiment, defy the light meter every now and then.
GlamModelz Magazine: Any advice for models?
Jeff DeHaven: Use a mirror, work on your poses. Learn to be as expressive as possible, particularly with your eyes. Learn your best angles and use them. Always keep in mind where your lighting is. If you will be doing any glamour photography that exposes skin, do not wear a bra or other constrictive clothing to your shoot as the lines and creases in your skin will take time to wear off.
GlamModelz Magazine: In addition to photography, do you have other skills/interests/talents in which you excel?
Jeff DeHaven: I am very proficient in all areas of Information Technology, this was my main job until switching to photography in 2010. I have worked in 3D animation, stills, video editing, sound editing, and music. I am also classically trained in Graphic Design, proficient in the entire Adobe creative suite, Quark Xpress, etc…
GlamModelz Magazine: What other interesting facts would you like GlamModelz readers to know about you?
Jeff DeHaven: I once ate 46 pieces of sushi in one sitting, and I am not a big guy. I love sushi. However; I do NOT like monkfish liver, I almost projectile vomited trying that.
Jeff DeHaven's Gallery
GlamModelz Magazine: Where can we see more of your work? How can models who wish to shoot with you contact you?
Jeff DeHaven: You can see more of my work on my website www.dehavendigital.com, my Flickr.com Photostream, or if you would like to see more of my 3D artwork, my DeviantArt page.
To get a hold of me, go to my website and use the contact page.

My wife and I went there for a simple dinner. The food was amazing! The wine was excellent! And the wait staff was very good! Simply put, I would drive another 4 hours just to dine there again in the future!
The food is out of the ordinary. Very creative and tasty dishes so fresh and organic! The brussel sprout salad is a must. The chocolate flourless cake was perfection. Avoid the pumpkin sorbet, sounded good, but turned out not very good.
We stumbled onto Passionfish this trip to Monterey and what a find it was! Fresh, creative food with So many layered flavors in every dish and an expansive , reasonably priced wine list is highlighted with lots of feedback on the wines and winemakers. We slowly savored the complex ingredients In the Brussels sprout salad, the honeyed goat cheese salad, the sand dabs and braised Waygu beef and spartzle. All of the flavors were expertly combined to complement each other we so enjoyed the entire experience. Service was bright and attentive . If you love experiencing fresh, creative cuisine thus is a restaurant we highly recommend and we look forward to our next visit. Bob Apetit!
Every course is outstanding. The ingredients used are married well and complimentary. Also, the care and presentation of each course is a work of art. We enjoyed an appetizer with a glass of wine. We shared a delicious salad. We each had an entree with another glass of wine. The finale was a shared dessert with a dessert wine and a cup of coffee. A nice dining experience making it a lovely evening.
Our dinner was delicious. The wine was very good and quite affordable and our server was fantastic, knowledgeable and great personality. We will definitely return when in Monterey next .
This is where my husband took me when we first started dating and we loved it. So we thought it fitting to spend our 1st wedding anniversary here. The food was amazing, the service was fantastic, and we were treated like kings. I highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed!
This restaurant has been recommended to us for several years, I don't know why it took us so long to eat here! It was fantastic! All the fish dishes were perfectly cooked, goat cheese salad was to-die-for, and the wine truly was close to retail prices. We would highly recommend it to anyone. We were in the dining section to the right when entering the restaurant, it was very quiet and you felt like you were alone, even when every table was filled with diners. A very enjoyable meal.
We liked Passion Fish so much we went back the following night. Great selection of wines, well-priced, and very creative ways of cooking fish. Highly recommend the stuffed trout, the halibut and the sturgeon on their fall menu.
I visit Pacific Grove once a year, and always eat at Passionfish a couple times - I can't say enough good things about the quality of the food! The fish and seafood are consistently fresh and prepared to perfection. Of course, the pear bread pudding is a must every time. I think it's my all time favorite dessert - yum!
We had 3 for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised by the unique preparation of the dishes. The salads were different in content and taste. The dinner menu was extremely diverse as we had sturgeon, an unusual and delicious lamb preparation and scallops. The wine selection was phenomenal if not overwhelming. The server was exceptionally attentive even though the restaurant was full. We had a wonderful meal on our last night in town. Kudos.
We've dined at Passionfish several times and they have all been wonderful dining experiences. Ambience is pleasant, not at all noisy, excellent service and the food is great. We had guest this time and they loved it too.
Great dining experience; unusual wine values and unusual list.
Passionfish is located in a quiet town where one might not expect to enjoy such a wonderful gourmet experience. It is off the beaten track for sure. We arrived early but were greeted warmly and seated immediately. It is most obvious that they take great pride in their preparation and flavors and presentation of their food. Their wine list is sensible and allows one to explore new wines without having to pay through the nose. They are knowledgeable about the wine. We sat for two hours and were never rushed although the restaurant was full. It was truly a glorious experience.
Passionfish is a great neighborhood restaurant in downtown Pacific Grove. We have been going there for years and always get wonderful food and service.
That about says it. Excellent, fresh, sustainable fish. Good wines at agrest price. Not to be missed.
The scallops were so good that I don't think I'll ever be able to satisfy that craving ever again.
I made reservations for my 5 year wedding anniversary and they went above and beyond by customizing our table and putting candles in our dessert without us asking for anything extra. They were very knowledgeable about their wines and what would pair well.
This was our first time to Passionfish. We usually visit Pacific Grove once a year and have consistently read glowing reviews about it. Well, the reviews are true. The food was excellent and fairly priced for a restaurant with its reputation. The wine list is amazing, it was hard to chose with the selection being so large. We will definitely be back on our next visit.
Passionfish came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. As the name implies the menu is predominantly all fish but with some unique and tasty food treatments. Presentation was also good. We had the deep fried catfish appetizer (delicious) and clam chowder (also delicious). My seatmates and I ate the halibut, tilapia and sea scallops - all which were delicious. Great service and decent wine list. Deserves a try if you don't mind moderate prices.
The food, menu and service here outstanding... We've been the same time frame each year and if we lived closer would be regulars. Nevertheless, we cherish each evening we spend here. Our waiter for the last two years has been attentive, informed, and gracious. The chef/kitchen are somehow able to continually surprise me with both their inventive menu creations AND their almost flawless execution of their original creations/taste profiles/ingredient combinations (this last visit only marked something less than perfection in that the duck confit was a bit dried out and not as moist as I'd have preferred). The Front of the House is always welcoming and at ease. Their wine list is outstanding and pricing makes it possible to try varied wines
I love this restaurant's policy of serving wine at retail prices, but it was hard to find what I wanted on the wine list. The "Bordeaux" page didn't have a single true French Bordeaux, and all the other wines were scattered into very confusing categories. I like French wine, so a page of French reds and whites would have been greatly appreciated. The food was very, very good, but I really had trouble finding a good French wine to go with both our choices (beef and lamb, so a Bordeaux would have been perfect).
My husband and I dined at Passionfish to celebrate his birthday! The food and experience were fabulous. I highly recommend the quality and attention to the detail and presentation of our meal.
My halibut was fabulous and my friend's scallops were equally delicious. Sauces and risotto and vegetables all enhance the delicate flavors of the seafood. Also, the service was flawless...attentive and unobtrusive. I can't wait to go back and we will when on the Monterey Peninsula.
This restaurant consistently dishes out great food. Service was excellent, appetizers and entrees were served just the right time apart Wine list is very good and very fairly priced. Foodie's this is your best bet in Monterey area.
Loved our dinner here - everything was delicious, the menus had lots of appealing options from appetizers through desserts, the wine selection was great and we appreciated having so many half bottles to choose from, and our server was friendly and attentive. One of our favorite meals in the Monterey area - we will be back.
Food was good but not great. Gnocci was pasty. Scallops were very tasty. Wine choice was very oaky and good.
I made reservations for our third dinner at this amazing place. Excellent food that always exceeds expectations. Locally sourced organic ingredients that give you peace of mind as a consumer. Great environment and wine list. Both my wife and I walked out with happy bellies and a smile on our faces. Try the torte if you're a chocolate fan.
Attentive/knowledgeable server. Best to make a reservation ahead of time, it is quite a popular restaurant. The portions of the starter, salad. and entrees were very healthy. My husband and I split the crab cake, squash soup, and crab/avocado salad. I appreciated that the restaurant was very accommodating and split the food on separate plates. All three were good but the crab/avocado salad and dressing was outstanding as to taste and quantity of crab. Entrees ordered were the sea scallops and sturgeon (which was good) but we felt the scallops were exquisite. Dessert was the pear bread pudding with whipped cream which hit the spot for a tasty sweet dessert. All around an excellent dining experience that we will repeat again in the future.
This is our second time to Passionfish. They did not disappoint. Would come back a third time when we're visiting Monterey. Definitely a neighborhood gem.
I loved everything. There were three of us and we had bites of each person's meal. The lamb is delicate with lovely flavors, the brussel sprouts salad was yummy. the scallops were cooked perfectly, the halibut was delicious and I loved the chocolate truffle cake - perfect for gluten free eaters. Very accommodating for gluten free and when I asked for a wine choice that would go well with the lamb the choice was impeccable.
We have eaten here many times while visiting the area and have never been disappointed. They always have great sustainable seafood dishes, creative salads, and excellent desserts. We recommend it to anyone dining in the area.
Lovely, understated place. Interesting menu with emphasis, of course, on fish. Wonderful, comprehensive, quirky wine list. Would be delighted to go back when I return to the Monterey area.
Have been to Passionfish 1-2 times a year for many years; it's one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Our server was outstanding - very knowledgeable about all the dishes & was able to help my husband select appropriate gluten-free choices. She was also incredibly knowledgeable about the extensive wine list and wines from various regions of France. She was the standard to which all servers should aspire! The brussels sprouts salad was excellent; scrumptious without being overly rich. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the sturgeon entree that he ordered. Loving scallops, I ordered the scallop appetizer, which was a bit unusual (capers, raisins, "fried risotto cake"), and perhaps not my favorite preparation.
We drive down from Palo Alto to Pacific Grove just to dine here! Fabulous, interesting food and an exquisite wine list. Servers are all knowledgeable and the prices are amazing! Must experience!
I would highly recommend Passionfish. The food was amazing and the service was great! The waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu which we appreciated.
Really enjoyed passonfish. The food was excellent (lamb and duck were our entrees, brussel sprout salad starter). The flourless chocolate cake was amazing. Wine list is good and reasonably priced. Feels like the restaurant wants to be accessible to all, not stuffy or full of itself like so many other Monterey hot spots, which is very cool.
When we stay in Carmel, we always make it a point to visit Pacific Grove and have a great dinner at Passionfish. The great tastes of all the dishes are amazing, and the suggested wines are always the best. Worth the drive and a great way to spend a vacation dinner. We always recommend Passionfish to friends visiting the area.
We had a reservation, but actually went early and they were able to accommodate us. The food, as usual was excellent, fresh tasting and perfectly prepared. We will go again.
My friend raved about this place but most of the main courses we had were mediocre to decent. Even the deserts left us wanting. Avoid the duck as it's overdone and dry. Creme brûlée was also bitter. They did comp the deserts but we really expected better.
Unforgettably savory fish and seafood dishes served in a pleasant setting. The brussel sprout starter is not to be missed. Convenient downtown location with ample street parking.
We return to Passion Fish any time we are in the Monterey area. It is always excellent and the service is fantastic. The menus are so well planned with attention to detail and imagination. Prices are resonable and the entire experience is always memorable.
Not only do they have an incredible wine list, but the food was unbelievable. The scallops served on a risotto cake with raisins and capers was unforgettable. The atmosphere was relaxing and the service extremely attentive. Our server was very helpful with wine and food suggestions.
We had a very nice evening at Passionfish, and most surprising to me was the reasonable prices. Recommended.
The restaurant is lovely. Service is excellent and the food is obviously prepared by people with great passion for cooking. The wine list is truly exceptional. The best part is that the prices of wines are some of the most reasonable I have seen. Take your SO for a lovely, romantic, delicious evening.
I came with my wife from Finland for 2w California vacation. In one B&B we stayed, a couple from San Diego recomended this restaurant for great food. So we stopped By for a dinner and were really happy we did. She had Sturgeon and I had Tilapia. Both were excellent, giving praise for the gentle and fresh taste of fish. We eat a lot of fish in Finland, so we really appreciate the right cooking. It was yperfect except the coffee, which was notbfresh, but we forgave it for the great food.
Great variety of tasty food, warm and engaging surveys
We dine at Passionfish every year for husbands birthday. Always a delicious meal. We lingered for nearly two hours and never felt rushed. They have a great and reasonably priced wine list but if you want to bring your own, it's only $20 corkage. Simply prepared, freshest ingredients at a reasonable price.
We celebrated an anniversary and my husband's birthday at Passion Fish again this year. We had great food (beef pasta and the scallops) and enjoyed the special touches that make the restaurant an especially nice place for special occasions. For example, our table had "Happy Birthday and Anniversary" written with a flourish on the brown paper covering the table cloth. Our desserts came with candles. People nearby were also celebrating a birthday or anniversary, and it was very pleasant to chat with them briefly and wish them congratulations.
A must if you come to the Monterey Peninsula. Best food on the Peninsula. Chef Walter is a genius.
The restaurant is a place that we will definitely go back to again. The food was incredible and the owners and staff make you feel incredibly welcome and happy to be there.

Walk/Ride Day Corporate Challenge
Who is Bostons greenest commuting champion? Local institutions are competing in the Green Streets Initiatives (GSI) Walk/Ride Day Corporate Challenge, a seven-month competition to encourage active, sustainable commutes.
The great thing about Walk/Ride Days is that we set the bar very low, said Janie Katz-Christy, GSIs Executive Director. Its only one day a month and its multi-modal, so its easy for employers to encourage their staff to walk, ride a bike, carpool, or take public transportation on this basis."
Participants include: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Cambridge Health Alliance, Children's Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School and School of Public Health, Massachusetts General Hospital, Merck Boston, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, and many others.
Many of these once-a-month changes become daily, permanent habits, Katz-Christy continued. Weve already seen things change in a great way.
Employers wishing to register for the Challenge must do so by March 28 at http://gogreenstreets.org/sign-walkride-day-corporate-challenge.
As part of Walk/Ride Day, GSI partners with area organizations to host monthly Green Drinks events in both Cambridge and Boston. This month, Green Drinks will take place on March 28 at Freshii in Boston and Area Four in Cambridge, with co-hosts Cambridge Energy Alliance, Cambridge Local First, and the Boston Society of Architects Committee on the Environment. To RSVP, visit marchgreendrinks.eventbrite.com or bostonmarchgreendrinks.eventbrite.com.

Benton slammed by Rebels
Sports Editor
For much of the first half of their game the Raiders of Benton Academy led Humphreys Academy. However, a five-point second quarter gave the Rebels the lead they would never relinquish as they won 48-38.
Benton trailed by just one point at halftime and kept pace with Humphreys, for the most part, scoring 15 points while giving up 18.
The fourth quarter saw the Rebels defense shut down Benton's offense just as it did in the first half, allowing the Raiders just six points. It would be just enough for Humphreys to head back home with a 10-point victory.
Bo Dickerson led the Raiders from the field with seven points while Chase Ward had six.

Tempers Flare During Meeting With Solons By MERRILEE LEATHERMAN Journal Staff Writer Tempers flared Tuesday when newly-elected black leg-islator Alphonse Jackson Jr. charged Confederate Memo-rial Medical Center with hav-ing serious human relations — and other — problems be-tween blacks and whites. The exchange took place during a noon meeting of the hospital's board of directors and l e g i s l a t o r s from the Northwest Louisiana area. Jackson charged, "People (blacks) have been here for years who have not received any promotions and there are some who have lost their seniority when they took ma-ternity leave." ROBERT HALL, assistant director, reminded Jackson that "the Civil Service Com-mission says that unless an employe qualifies for a step-up, he can remain in the same position for years." Sen.-elect C. Kay Carter asked Hall if blacks are advised of opportunities to rise within the Civil Service structure. Hall replied, "Yes, we encourage blacks to attend graduate programs in many things . . . nursing, for in-stance." Jackson said, "I'm not here to cause problems, but how do you account for the fact that there are several departments that are 'lily-white'?", adding that if the hospital is serious about wanting to improve things it should look into this situation. HOSPITAL DIRECTOR Dr. Edgar Galloway told Jackson, "There is no discrimination in this hospital. Don't come in here with accusations that you know nothing about — give me some specific instances and not generalities." Asking, "Who is responsible for administering the person-nel problems?", Jackson claimed that hospital workers have told him "We have serious problems — human relations wise." Jackson add-ed that, "When whites are nearby, the blacks won't dis-cuss their problems because they feel intimidated. When the whites move away, they tell me." Referring to a list of 12 g r i e v a n c e s he says were drawn up by hospital em-ployes, Jackson said after the petition had been mailed to the hospital blacks were in-timidated by people who inter-viewed them using tape re-corders. HALL AGREED Confeder-ate thad received the petition and that the grievances had been c h e c k e d , but added "there were no tape recorders used." Board chairman T. B. Lan-ford told Jackson, "I have told you before that you and I together would check out any complaints within the hospital at any time you wish." Jackson also attacked the admissions area of the hospi-tal and asked if there are any plans to d e c r e a s e waiting periods. He said, "What con-cerns me is that people have been out there since 7 a.m. and have yet to be seen. I feel 1 a committee should look at what can be done to reduce the waiting time." HALL TOLD Jackson all patients do not have to wait, but many do. He reminded Jackson and the other legisla-tors that an average of 300 out-patients are seen daily and 140,000 are seen yearly. He also said it is hoped the new outpatient clinic will help to relieve the situation. Sen. H a r o l d Montgomery emphasized, "You are going to have to wait in any hospital — whether a patient is paying or not — carrying this load. In a private hospital, he said, "my family has had to wait as long as four hours." Sen. Montgomery also cited an example of Confederate's effectiveness in treating pa-tients. "A black friend of mine who was sick couldn't get into a Ruston general hospital, even with me telling them that I would pay the bill. Since I couldn't get him into any hospital there, I brought him to Confederate. Sure, he had to wait, but he did get in." REP.-ELECT Art Sour said that, under the circumstances, he felt Confederate's staff was doing a good job considering the caseload. "I'm very impressed," said Sour. "Confederate is operat-ing in a fairly efficient man-ner and I think it is being handled on a humane basis. Like any state agency, it can't be as personalized as the relationship between the pri-vate doctor and his patient." Rep. - elect B. F. O'Neal agreed with Sour's views on the hospital's effectiveness, adding, "It isn't perfect, but the world isn't perfect. With what you have to work, you're doing a good job." CARTER SAID, "I believe Dr. Galloway knows what is going on in the hospital, but I can see where more staff is needed to handle the work." (Hall and Galloway have explained that there are a number of vacant positions at the hospital that can't be filled due to lack of funds.) "Your problems are large," said Carter. "I was not aware that the programs of this hospital are as great as they are. However," he added, "I think we need to look at everything. There does seem to be a lack of communication not only between the adminis-tration and its employes, but also between the administra-tion and the community."

Forty Years, No Cup in B.C.
It might be the Curse of Steve Moore, but that would only cover the playoff failures that have occurred over the past seven years.
In all, the Vancouver Canucks have hit the 40-year mark in terms of unsuccessfully trying to capture the Stanley Cup. So many good players, two Cup final appearances, one horrific incident that stained the game forever in 2004, a lifetime of disappointments. From Orland Kurtenbach to Henrik Sedin, the Canucks have tried it every which way and have yet to come up with the winning formula.
The 2009-10 season ended exactly the way last season ended, with a one-sided blowout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks last night at GM Place by a 5-1 score. Just as Roberto Luongo couldn't deliver top-notch goaltending last spring, he couldn't do it again this spring, outplayed by Finnish rookie Antti Niemi in Game 6 with the Canucks facing elimination.
The Hawks go through to the Western Conference final for the second straight year, and will face the San Jose Sharks as the two best teams in the west have pushed their way into the Final Four. It should be a terrific series, with two big lines - Joe Thornton between Dany Heatley and Patrick Marleau for the Sharks, Jonathan Toews-Patrick Kane-Dustin Byfuglien for the Hawks - set to go head-to-head.
Chicago's blue-chip defensive pair of Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook made a huge difference against the Canucks, and they'll need all the rest they can get before the Western Conference final begins in California.
For Vancouver, a blueline that some experts warned last fall was too brittle proved to be just that. Willie Mitchell was lost before the playoffs began, Sami Salo was hobbled before last night and Alexander Edler went down in the first period after a big hit by Byfuglien. GM Mike Gillis chose to spend his big dollars on Luongo - whose 12-year extension kicks in next season - and forwards Henrik and Daniel Sedin, leaving the club without anything like a Keith or a Seabrook on the back end. Kevin Bieksa, Christian Erhoff and Shane O'Brien were all game last night, but that's not an elite blueline.
Head coach Alain Vigneault could be faulted for not dressing seven D-men last night, and after four years on the job without getting out of the second round, he may find his time in Vancouver is up.
None of the Canucks big stars came through, yet the club is married to all of them for the long term. Luongo is no longer considered one of the best goalies in the game and will make $10 million next year, the first of his $64 million pact. The Sedin twins, probably signed to below market value at $6.1 per season each, have four more years on their deals. Ryan Kesler, who didn't score a goal against Chicago or do much at all, sees his six-year, $30 million contract kick in next season.
The blueline is thin, although Edler looks like a comer. You might wonder if a good puck handler like the very available Tomas Kaberle could benefit the 'Nucks. Kyle Wellwood did his best but isn't a consistent point producer and Pavol Demitra was a huge disappointment based on how well he played for Slovakia at the Olympics in Vancouver. In the end, this was a team that couldn't win in the pressure cooker of playing on home ice. Team Canada may have won Olympic gold with Luongo in net at GM Place, but the Canucks were 0-3 there against the Hawks, surrendering 17 goals in those three games.
The tragic flaw of this team is that it was completely built around the belief that Luongo was one of the greatest goalies ever to play. They made him captain, and gave him a monster contract, and the result is a netminder who couldn't handle the weight and at 31, isn't as good as he was three years ago.
Now the franchise enters its fifth decade, still waiting for a championship.

Dear Steve --thank you so much for the excellent photo of J P Campbell's tombstone but especially for the newspaper clipping you included--I am helping a lady named Helen H. McDarment trace her Campbell kin and John P. Campbell is one of them. She is having a very hard time in tracing this line. J P Campbell had a brother, W T Campbell, who also was a Cumberland Presbyterian minister but almost untraceable--I am telling you this in case you are related to this line and can help her but if that is not the case you have my thanks for going beyond and above my request. With kind regards Myrtle Mandane Ennis

Ms. Clyde
I've noticed you've done such a great job photographing Fairmount's stones. Can you tell me if you have found one with the first name of 'Jeffery Clyde' or Jeffery C? My step grandmother was married to Clarence S Carson, then remarried, and I don't know her last name. Seems like it started with a 'P'. I'm wondering if she's buried here.

The question of "The role of God in my life" requires definitions – of "God" and of "my life."
The challenge the title poses reminds me of an invitation I received in 1988 to deliver the Georgetown Bicentennial Address. Since it was at the university – not just the medical school – and since I had never been at Georgetown before, the President made what he thought was a helpful suggestion for a theme: "build your talk around the single book that, in your entire lifetime, you went back to most often for inspiration or stimulation."
I chose the Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats, for that was a book I had read, over and over again, while courting my wife, celebrating the birth of my children, or seeking solace or perspective from the hurts of the world.
The problem was that, while I loved Yeats's poetry, I was not a Yeats expert, and the setting for the address was to be at a university with plenty of poets and scholars. This evening I find myself, once again, in a similar situation – giving an address in a church, talking about "God," and I am certainly not a theologian.
I will therefore approach the task with an emphasis on something about which I do know – "my life" – and will try to define a concept of "God" that began in a first generation Irish household in the Bronx. The immigrant relatives I can recall, had a deep faith in the Roman Catholic Church, and much of the cycle of our lives was defined by weekly Confessions, Lenten fasts, First Friday Masses, Baptisms, Confirmations, and the celebrations of the joy of life at the birth of the baby Jesus at Christmas or the Resurrection from the dead on Easter morning.
Nevertheless, this immigrant clan was not afraid, at least in the privacy of the home, to question both the pronouncements of religion and the logic of clergy, especially the official hierarchy.
There was a fundamental respect and loyalty to the Church but, again, this was tempered by a deep suspicion of pomposity and assumptions of unquestioned authority. We were told to beware of those "who genuflect too much", who deferred too easily to "the cloth," when they should be seeking justice and equity and truth, whatever that was. Also, as was typically Irish, dinner conversations were filled with probing questions regarding the mysteries of life.
My father was the first physician in a generation of police officers, and seemed to have inherited the mantle of family chieftain – at least for that part of the clan that multiplied in cold water flats from Fordham Road to Hells Kitchen, and later out to Breezy Point and Belle Harbor. He had been well trained in Jesuit logic – some people claim that is an oxymoron – and he encouraged his children to parse and analyze diverse intellectual positions. At the end of the day he would probably accept an ex cathedra declaration by the Pope, but he sure didn't like it. He didn't want to miss the chance to argue every facet, to see and appreciate every nuance of every issue.
I can recall him, many times, at our diner table dissecting some arcane theological argument with the local priest. It was an unfair intellectual battle, for the priest, who undoubtedly possessed profound faith had, nonetheless, little capacity to explain the basis for his devout beliefs, and my father would pursue the poor man till he surrendered with a defensive mutter: "Ah, but it's God's will."
My father was a wise physician, and he knew life was rarely that simple. He would be the devil's advocate, one night defending monotheism, and the next arguing passionately for the rights of atheists or agnostics. We were expected to stand our ground, and defend our assigned positions.
Looking back on those wonder-filled years I am reminded of the dilemma faced by the Irish sisters in Brian Friel's play, Dancing at Lunghasa, when their beloved brother, a missionary priest in Africa, having gone "slightly native," comes home and tries to explain the universality of religious beliefs, and the indigenous celebrations he would lead for his parishioners in appeasing a reluctant "rain God." The traditional Irish villagers didn't want to hear this heresy – they had their faith and their "God" - a complex Father, Son, and Holy Ghost arrangement – and that should be enough for anyone, especially a priest.
But is it? My early kitchen table education was broad and good enough to incorporate other views and, as I began my own life's journeys, I was very grateful for the stimulating, sometimes perverse, and peculiar philosophical foundation of youth. When I first went to India – more than 50 years ago – I worked in Calcutta, where the Hindu majority believe cows are sacred, and even flies and mosquitoes might possess, in their tiny bodies, a previous being. By the time I left Calcutta, after 4 months, I really wasn't certain that I might not be a cow in the next life, and I wasn't really certain it mattered much.
Helping people mattered. Seeing the unique, the beautiful – call it a soul, spirit, the hand of "God" – but finding something special in every human being became the raison d'etre for my life. Obsession with theological conformity and liturgical niceties simply didn't seem very important, as you discovered "God" in the Somali bush, or in a totally Islamic culture.
We lived for several years in the Middle East. When our second son was born there, I became very friendly with a local Italian missionary who baptized him. Fr. Ruffino once told me that as a young priest, he would measure his success in his first Chinese mission by the number of baptisms he would perform in a year and he would happily send an annual report back to the Vatican. After decades of this satisfying service to the Church he was sent to Egypt where proselytizing for a non-Islamic religion was strictly forbidden, and converting and baptizing were grounds for expulsion. He had to change his criteria; he would give witness by simply being there, but all his other ceremonial roles as a priest were over. There was but one God, and Mohammed was his Prophet. Gradually Fr. Ruffino came to accept that his Arab neighbors were his family, no better, no worse than those he once washed free of original sin in the sanctified waters of Christ.
So where does this leave me in my search for "God"? A poet – who happened to be a Jesuit priest – once wrote of the odd manifestations of the Almighty. Gerard Manley Hopkins discovered Christ, not in vestments, or on an altar, but in everyday life:
Glory be to God for dappled things - For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings; Landscape plotted and pieced-fold, fallow,
And plough; And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
I think that is where I come out. After many years of medical practice,
long periods of loneliness and reflection in what some would call the God-forsaken deserts of Somalia, or the swamps of Sudan, or working all over the world amidst refugees in the chaos that follows war and natural disasters, I found my own spiritual strength.
I can identify with the Christ who came down to wash feet, know rejection and die on a cross. Hidden in the humble, sacred pockets of life are the good thieves who will go to paradise, the trusting leper who will be cured.
The Resurrection, to me, is reflected every day in the tenacity and nobility of sick people, and the remarkable resilience of men, women, and children, often against overwhelming odds.
For many years I have devoted much of my non-clinical energies in trying to identify workable bridges between medicine, public health, and the softer discipline of diplomacy. One only has to work in conflict zones for a very short time to appreciate the dehumanizing effects of fear, injury, rape, or even of survival under appalling refugee conditions. No avenue can be left untried in the search to heal the wounds of war and build a new peace.
When combatants can agree on little else they sometimes – not always – will cease killing and maiming only for a humanitarian effort – one that can often help both sides. Using this respect for health projects, we established "corridors of tranquility, neutral areas in bitter civil wars.
These pauses allowed for discussion and dialogue; no matter how brief, they can provide the foundation blocks for eventual reconciliation.
It is sometimes difficult to talk about "God" to those intent on destroying their enemies, and formal religions have had a pretty dismal record in the search for peace. An inordinate amount of people still die because of differences over what is considered "the true faith," surely an odd justification for the slaughter of neighboring innocent civilians. In the former Yugoslavia, both Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and Lord David Owen tried for three years to find a compromise to end the killing. They told me, in deep frustration, that none of the religious leaders –Muslim, Orthodox, or Roman Catholic – ever found the courage to move beyond their parochial concerns.
At The Center for International Humanitarian Cooperation we have recently initiated a project that will try to identify universal values, the common spirituality that seems to exist in all cultures, even during wars. All over the world different civilizations have developed methods — sometimes positive, sometimes negative —to prevent the worst excesses of war. These strands of humanitarian decency must be emphasized, and woven, not only into Geneva Conventions and legal documents, but into some commonly accepted fabric so that we can learn to survive together, not threatened by, but actually celebrating the diversity of, mankind.
It is in this search for universal values, a search that may allow peace to be reborn from the ashes of war, that today I most clearly see "God." It is into that troubled gray zone of conflicts and reconstruction that I hope "God" will help and guide me in leading a better life of service to those in need.
*As a distinguished doctor of medicine, Dr. Kevin Cahill Cahill began his medical career in 1961, studying tropical disease in the slums of Calcutta beside Mother Theresa.
Cahill has cared for patients in 65 countries in some of the most war-torn places in the world, and was among the first to predict the famine in Somalia.. He treated Pope John Paul after his assassination attempt and also President Ronald Reagan. He is President-General of the American Irish Historical Society
This is an essay in To Bear Witness: A Journey of Healing and Solidarity which will be published by Fordham Univ. Press in 2013.
The entire article is covered by the phrase "It's all in your head".
The Catholic Christian Faith is all about finding Jesus Christ as the God-Man, within ourselves at baptism, nourished in Eucharist, offering His forginessss at MAas we begin it with I confess, and seeking it in the old Irish -Eastern Church practice of being guided by an anam-chara/soul friend in life and when we have heavy stuff to unload. Anyone who critiques a papal infallible document has a short shift- and every teaching from Bible to formal teaching is rooted in God's own Revelation, hence arguing with Him is way above my pay-scale. Rejecting pomposity is a healthy attitude, but one has to be careful not to confuse the personality with the actual Message. 2 Phil 6-11 is a great model for me: jesus reversed the Adam-Eve role of "God, let me do it my way" coached by the Snake; Jesus became obedient and surrendered to the Evil He found in each of us and the systems we use to Control rather than Serve and that is why we follow Him and win and do not get out ass-kicking by playing God over each other.
Cahill runs the AIHS like his own personal fiefdom.
Perhaps we might all (some more than others-see below) benefit from reflecting on the theme "God in one's life in a troubled world" comparing The measured, sage comments of Dr, Cahill with those of Fr. "Blame the rape victims" Corsi, and his :Mu church right or wrong" Catholic Taliban groupies elsewhere on IC this week. Just Sayin' !
I second Searlit's eMotion, and a Happy New Year 2013 to all.
And you to Searlit
Happy New Year's Eve everyone!
Faith, reason, and a life spent contributing to progress for humankind: It's a formula for a meaningful life well lived. People who wrestle with faith, who do their own thinking, and who aren't afraid to try to do some good have no time to listen to moral authorities telling them what to believe, how not to live, how to vote, and when to shut up! They also make the world an interesting place for everyone. Happy New Year, everyone -- athbhliain faoi shéan is faoi mhaise daoibh!
A portrait of an Irish man who is erudite, compassionate and kind. His good works speak for themselves so it's interesting that he grapples with his faith as he navigates his life. I don't believe in a great deity that's shaping our ends but I don't scoff at those who do. In any case his life has taught him to appreciate the miraculous in the every day, which puts him closer to the Irish poets than the Irish saints. They're better company.
What is the point of this piece beyond free advertising for a religious cult masquerading as a human interest profile? Will we enjoy some balance with an equal opportunity for the Director of Athiest Ireland?
A very erudite and well argued piece by Dr Kevin who seeks the common spiritual values that unites all humanity as one family. This is a very Catholic concept which does not reject what is good in other cultures without comprising Christian principles.
This fella can sure string sentences together, and looks the part of a thinker, as well. Why can't we have him rather than Cardinal Dolan? I wouldn't mind calling Dr. Cahill "Your Eminence", since this one looks like he's thought through a thought or two.
A thoughtful and precise piece mereflow,but I'm afraid you will now be castigated by the God people for your forthrightness.
i cant believe in any diety that suposedly we are made in his image,what kind of inteligence creatate a defecating,urinating,menstuating,dribbling creature like man ,obviously not very god like,but if they would accept logic reason,darwin,evolution,and feel the remnants of a prehensile tail between the cheeks of their ass,they might finally realise they are just evolved apes,(but they can never accept that,they have to be something more)and even though in the last 150 years man has honed his destructive nature to higher arts of mass destruction than ever before,this god that you cant see,feel,smell,touch or hear,has remained deaf to the misery and suffering,priests and religions through the ages have held mankind in thrall through fear and superstition,whils at the same time blessing the armies and generals who kill in the name of these gods.enough.i despair that in the face of all this evidence of mayhem mankind still clings to the darkness of false theology.
Jesus said that God is Spirit and so you can find God anywhere by inviting Him into your life. Believe in His Son Jesus Christ and the work of the Cross. Surrender your rebellious nature to God in Heaven and then He can instil in you the Holy Spirit.
