  Fish Fish in North Miami has great variety of fresh seafood

  A trip to the new Fish Fish in North Miami feels like a dive into an exotic aquarium. The shimmery blue iridescent floor, watery faux finished walls, copper lighting, nautical wooden fixtures all being watched over by a carved mermaid lend a magical quality to this casual but upscale fish house.

  Commentary: Sofia Vergara’s ‘Modern Family’ portrayal insults Latinas

  I am not a Latina. I am a middle-aged white guy whose salsa dancing embarrasses my Venezuelan-born wife. But because she is a Latina, and because my teenage daughter is half Latina, I take more than passing interest in how popular culture portrays Latinas. And these days I’m annoyed, because the most popular Latina image out there is, well, almost as embarrassing as my salsa dancing.

  In ballet, females dominate stage while males direct leadership

  Legendary choreographer George Balanchine once said, “ballet is woman,” and that seems to be the case, considering the scarcity of boys aspiring to become ballet dancers compared to the legions of girls. But of the girls who grow up to become top dancers, few have actually graduated into the upper levels of leadership.
