			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Writing Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan here . . .  This is why I love my work.</p>
<p>Writers of Science Fiction and Fantasy, check out <a href="http://laurelannehill.com/" target="_blank">Laurel Anne Hil</a>l; see how she builds her magnificent platform!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Shanghai-Steam-anthology-bookcover-194x300.jpg" alt="" width="155" height="240" /></p>
<div>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Dear Teresa,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Sit down.  This news is amazing.  And YOU are part of it.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I just received an email.  <em>Shanghai Steam</em> (the anthology containing my &#8220;Moon-Flame Woman&#8221; short story) has been nominated for a 2013 Aurora Award.  The Aurora Awards are sponsored by the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association.  This honor is BIG, and my story &#8212; the story you helped me revise &#8211; has placement near the front of the anthology.  So let&#8217;s do the happy dance together.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Aurora does not have an award for a short story collection, so <em>Shanghai Steam</em> was nominated in the category of &#8220;Best Related Work &#8212; English.&#8221;  Each category contains only five nominations.  That&#8217;s FIVE out of all the related types of science fiction/fantasy works done by Canadians during the year.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Thank you for helping me create an authentic main character.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Love,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Laurel</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/cf/c0/dd1f4a16d31b0a7f0235f2.L._V141208145_SX200_.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="266" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Where Do We Find Heroes? They Show Up&#8211;Young, Middle-Aged&#8211;What They Do&#8211;All Inspirational</strong></div>
<p>First honoree in this video from <a href="http://midpenmedia.org/watch/videosontheweb/local_heroes.html" target="_blank">The Media Center</a> is <a href="http://bardirosmankoodrin.com/" target="_blank">Bardi Rosman Koodrin</a>. In the interview, Bardi tells about her remarkable experience when she was five years old.</p>
<div>Here&#8217;s an email from courageous Bardi to me:</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Speaking of angels, did I send you the link to my interview for Local Heroes?  Aside from the 5 minute clip, there is a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIP-VwznHBI" target="_blank">20 minute  version on YouTube</a> where I discuss the pivotal night in my life when I was visited  by an otherworldly woman bathed in white light.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #4427ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIP-VwznHBI" target="_blank"><br />
</a></span></span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">BTW,  had a meeting with the <em><strong>Patch</strong></em> editor yesterday.  My &#8220;<a href="http://sanbruno.patch.com/users/bardi-rosman-koodrin" target="_blank">Healing Chronicles</a>&#8221;  column is back on!!!!!!!  I so appreciate your efforts to help me and  your blogging worked!!!&#8221;</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *</span></strong></h2>
<div>My dear colleague Kate Farrell (yes! this is the same Kate Farrell who created the anthology <em><a href="http://wisdomhasavoice.com/anthology/" target="_blank">Wisdom Has a Voice: Daughters Remember Mothers</a></em>) tells me via facebook:</div>
<div>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">&#8220;Hi  Teresa! I know how supportive you are of library programs. Here&#8217;s a  article about how Wallenberg students kept the school library running  with no librarian and have received such community recognition.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>
<div style="padding-left: 60px;">By Bryan Lowry</div>
<div style="padding-left: 60px;">SF Public Schools Examiner</div>
<div>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">Wallenberg Traditional High School is one of the smaller high schools  in SFUSD with an enrollment of less than 700 students.  By comparison  Lowell High School holds over 2,600 students.  Wallenberg’s tiny campus  was once an elementary school before transforming into a high school in  1981 named after Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who saved the  lives of thousands of European Jews during the Holocaust.  Accordingly,  the school’s maxim is: “One individual can make a difference.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">For the past four years Logan Cai, a student currently in his senior  year, has been proving the truth of that maxim.  The school requires  students to perform community service in order to graduate, but Logan’s  service has far surpassed the minimum requirements.  Among many other  projects, Logan has been volunteering as the school’s librarian.  His  efforts have earned him the 2011 Jefferson Award for public service.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Budget shortfalls in 2009 caused SFUSD to lay off Kate Farrell, the  school’s librarian, and cut her position from the school’s budget for  the 2009-2010 school year.  Wallenberg was on the verge of becoming a  high school without a library until Ms. Farrell made a suggestion: let  Logan run it.  Logan and his partner Fanny Lau were founding members of  the school’s Ravenous Readers Book Club and Ms. Farrell had trained them  as library interns</strong>.  When the budget crisis occurred she believed her  interns were ready to take the reins.</p>

</div>
<div>Below is a great article by Angela Pang for Asian Week:</p>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">&#8220;100,000 People Gather to Celebrate APA Heritage&#8221;</span></div>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #336600; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">By: Angela Pang</span></span></strong></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #000000;">The brisk air and wind could not scare away the masses, as tens of thousands came out to San Francisco&#8217;s Civic Center and Little Saigon neighborhood for the 6th Annual Asian Heritage Street Celebration on Saturday May 15, 2010. Over 160 booths ranging from arts and crafts, community, and nonprofits, lined Larkin Street from Grove to Ellis Streets.</span></span></p>
<div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #000000;">The fair, organized by the AsianWeek Foundation, was packed with nonstop attraction and many firsts this year &#8211; including a Mah Jong section, a Wine and Jazz Area, and a balut eating contest.</span></span></p>
<p>Also, for first time in AHSC history, the San Francisco Consulates General of Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore in the spirit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) collaboration, jointly participated in the festival, hosting a pavilion that featured their countries&#8217; respective cuisine, arts and craft, tourism and trade.<br />
The crowd, estimated at 100,000 throughout the day, munched on delicious Korean tacos, BBQ, lumpia, and cupcakes, while others could be seen sipping from their commemorative souvenir wine glasses as they scoped out the numerous arts and crafts booths. The most popular item of the day, without a doubt, were the furry Panda hats, which could be seen on fairgoers of all ages and ethnicities.</p>
<div>The fair commenced with an energetic lion dance and a dazzling display of ethnic attire.</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #666666; font-size: x-small;"><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">A much buzzed about exhibit &#8211; the giant inflatable 20 feet long Super Colon, presented by the California Colon Cancer Control Program, did not disappoint. Many eagerly strolled in to get a up-close look at healthy colon tissue and various stages of colon cancer. The display was part of a comprehensive health section that also featured hepatitis B screenings and education, liver cancer awareness, HIV rapid testing, body fat screenings, asthma screenings, blood pressure checks, and the chance for people to register to become bone marrow/stem cell donors. </span></span></p>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"><br />
</span></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<div><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103420646230&amp;s=9373&amp;e=0013OLYHW7Z3gv7faJGAQWsRw8GnTE4quxz4DrPaclMznlTMeJCSabKbHeutsGUl8KwzEgvr4eiKYiL2H26w-Gfkbd8HiKQeMV5ndbstQwbkkK6K2jk-1qLyg==" target="_blank"> </a>ABC 7 Anchor Alan Wang, who is chronically infected with hepatitis B, spoke to attendees about the importance of getting screened for the disease and seeking appropriate medical care if diagnosed with HBV. California Pacific Medical Center and San Francisco Hep B Free screened approximately 200 people for Hep B which affects 1 in 10 Asian and Pacific Islanders.</div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> Fresh off their tour recent Japan tour with Lady Gaga, the adorable boys of Far*East Movement all sporting shades, had hundreds of screaming fans crowding the Civic Center stage, bobbing their heads and pumping their fists in the air as they performed a handful of songs, including their hit, &#8220;Girls on the Dance Floor.&#8221;<br />
</span></p>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;The festival keeps getting bigger and more successful each year.,&#8221; said Supervisor Eric Mar. &#8220;It is doing a great job of helping revitalize the Little Saigon and Civic Center area.&#8221;<br />
</span></p>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Mar also commended the AHSC for their school fundraising program, which provides prizes and administrative support for San Francisco students and school groups to sell raffle tickets, with all proceeds returned to participating schools</span></p>
<p>A big smash hit of the day, was the Balut Eating Contest sponsored by Mama Sitas and the Filipino America Arts Exposition. Hundreds watched nine contestants all clad in bright orange Lola Sitas aprons, quickly crack their eggs and gobble away.</p>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Ultimately Mike Marcelo<em> <span style="font-size: 8pt;">(pictured right)</span></em> a student from the University of San Francisco School of Law, won the epic chow down and said he hoped the contest helped dispel any misconceptions about this Filipino cultural delicacy which is also shared by the Vietnamese and other South East Asians.</p>
<div>Two veteran crowd pleasers also returned to the fair &#8211; a display of over 60 modern J-Cars and high-end European Sports cars, along with Muay Thai Kickboxing matches throughout the afternoon.</div>
<p></span></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The annual event stresses the diversity of the Asian Pacific American community with representation from all ethnicities performing live on stage, and offers a huge selection of arts and crafts, plus food. In six years, the celebration has become the country&#8217;s largest assemblage of Asian Americans.<br />
</span></p>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The celebration was co-presented by the California Pacific Medical Center and Subaru of America.</span></p>
<div><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">SAVE THE DATE:</span></span></div>
<div>The 7th Annual Asian Heritage Street Celebration will take place Saturday May 21, 2011 at Civic Center/Little Saigon.</div>
