Sandy Book Drive
After seeing the plea for books on our website, Member-at-Large Jaonne Foster, a journalist from Charlottesville, VA, wrote a piece for the Jefferson Madison Regional Library newsletter seeking donations. Hong Yao, our contact from the Queens Library system in New York, reports that many books were received. Many libraries are not ready to receive more books yet, and so our call for donations to the Queens libraries is now on hold until more libraries are rebuilt and ready to process more donations. We are still in contact with libraries in need, and are working on helping libraries across the country affected by natural disaster, such as in Moore, OK.
Library budgets are being slashed everywhere, and so the need for cash donations to help communities maintain these resources will not end soon. Donate directly to your local library, or
click on the Donate Now button to donate any amount, no matter how small, to help libraries maintain their collections. Please add a note to your donation specifying "Sandy Book Drive," and all donations marked this way will go directly to libraries we're working with. Thank you to the Publications Committee and Katie Witek, Nat'l Letters Chair, and Atlanta author Renea Winchester, for their work on this!

Pennies for Pen Arts
Do you like competitions? An old fund raiser, "Pennies for Pen Arts", has been revived and is called "Cash for Creativity." Chaired by Judy Woods-Knight of Tacoma, WA, branch, a member of the newly established fund raising committee, the challenge is for each branch at each meeting to collect "cash" for a donation to the Endowment Fund, which supports the Pen Arts building and its special programs. Each month after the branch meeting, a check should be sent by the treasurer (or whoever collects the donations) to National (1300 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC). Please put CEF in notation line of check. The winning branch will be recognized at the 2014 biennial in Atlanta!
The fund raising committee was established at the June 2012 board meeting to help alleviate our deficit. Christina Laurie of the Cape Cod, MA, branch is chairman.

Bylaws Updates
Proposed amendments to the Bylaws, approved by the National Executive Board, were approved by the membership at the business meeting of the NLAPW Biennial Convention, April, 2012, in Washington, D.C. Changes include remaning the National Executive Board to Board of Directors. The Board of Directors elected positions are now streamlined with a majority elected by the membership, the remainder by the Board of Directors.
Standing committees have been reorganized to emphasize the three classifications of membership. Art, Letters, and Music will each evaluate credentials, plan and execute outreach programming, instructional workshops and showcases for members' creative work and conduct competitions for awards. These three committees will recommend policies and procedures guiding their classification.
Future amendments to the bylaws will be by a process involving submission by any member followed by debate at the branch level. The ballot sent to every member in good standing for election of officers will include the proposed amendments.

Healing serenade; Nurse comforts patients and families with original songs
"You Can Make It Back" By Rod Salaysay
I stared up on the wallThere's big waves on a poster boardA hero, she once had to save the life of a man.Her father, a soft-spoken kind of manHe has tears in his eyesThe baby that once he held so tightHas to fight for her life.
You always try to face the oceanBut the waves can pull you downBut keep on fighting, keep on breathingAnd I will make sure you can make it back.
Those love notes from people who care so muchThe good times and all of the fun you've hadTogether, we'll write chapters one to fiveI just know where to start.Directions of where everything will endWe'll take it a mile at a timeTomorrow I'm sure we will laugh and cryI'll be here all the time.
You always try to face the oceanBut the waves can pull you downKeep on fighting, keep on breathingAnd I will make sure you can make it back.
Just dream until it's timeI'll shine the light in your eyesA hero, you're always recognized by the man.You always try to face the oceanBut the waves can pull you downKeep on fighting, keep on breathingAnd I will make sure you can make it back.
After working as a nurse for 24 years, Rod Salaysay knows that it takes more than medicine to help someone who is severely ill or injured. It also requires understanding, comfort and compassion for both the patient and the family.
But after more than three years of working in the trauma unit at La Jolla's Scripps Memorial Hospital and caring daily for people on the precipice of death, Salaysay wanted to offer his patients something more. So, he puts his feelings of hope, love and support into original songs that he sings to them, even if they may not always hear him.
Last year, 21-year-old surfer and lifeguard Ashley Benedict lay in a coma for 27 days after being hit by a car and suffering a traumatic brain injury. With her grieving family by her side night and day, Salaysay sought to console them as he strummed his guitar and sang "You Can Make It Back," which he had written especially for her.
"I'm not sure if she heard it or not, but it was so intense, so beautiful, I think she did hear it," says her father Michael of Encinitas, who became very emotional just talking about Salaysay. "For weeks we were all a wreck, not knowing if she would live or die, and this song meant so much to all of us. Rod means so much to us."
Salaysay calls patients like Ashley, who is now home and making steady progress in her recovery, inspirations "who have opened my eyes."
"I feel so blessed to be able to use my gift and do this for them," says the 50-year-old Philippines native, noting that he always makes a CD for the family. "It might seem corny, but I'm so happy I can make a difference in their lives and help them during their hard times."
Although Salaysay put himself through college playing the guitar in coffeehouses around Manila, his music took a back seat to the demands of job and family as he got older. It wasn't until he moved to California about 10 years ago and joined his church choir that he began playing again for his own enjoyment.
The thought of composing original songs to inspire others never occurred to him until about three years ago, when he was attending a severely injured patient in an induced coma.
"While I was sitting there by his bed one night, I started scribbling down what I thought he'd like to tell his mother if he could speak. When I got home from work that night, I found the piece of paper (with the notes) in my pocket, and my first song was born," he says.

On Location USA: Movies Set in Los Angeles
Since the birth of Hollywood, film and LA have been inextricably intertwined, and there are seemingly innumerable movies set in Los Angeles. This beautiful relationship began when the first studio opened up in 1911, situated on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street. It's not hard to see why the industry settled in this town of perpetual sun and sandy beaches. Los Angeles has attracted everyone from hometown directors like Steven Spielberg to foreign auteurs like Nicolas Winding Refn, who desire its palm-lined boulevards and gritty cityscape to help tell their stories. Over the years, the city has doubled for New York, Ireland, and Japan, but Los Angeles is best when cast as itself.
So, get the popcorn ready for our five favourite movies set in Los Angeles. They're sure to put you in an L.A. state of mind…
Blade Runner
Long Goodbye
This oft-forgotten Robert Altman film sees Raymond Chandler's favourite noir character Philip Marlowe alive in 1970s Los Angeles. Elliot Gould plays the hardboiled detective's culture shock at the free love era to perfection. Whether it's his yoga loving neighbours at his Hollywood Hills apartment, the famous Hightower Building, or his clients living in the artist enclave of Malibu Colony, Long Goodbye is a perfect postcard of the time.

The Columbia River Compact is scheduled to meet by teleconference at 1 p.m. Monday to consider a commercial fishing period for spring chinook and sturgeon in the lower river.
Given that the river is closed on Tuesday to sport fishing, I'd guess the commercials will get eight hours to fish, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. That's the time frame the Washington and Oregon staff biologists recommended last week.
I'll post a story here on the web shortly after the compact is over and will put a story in Tuesday's paper.
Test fishing on Sunday in the Wahkiakum County area caught 55 chinook and 12 steelhead in 16 drifts using 41/4-inch mesh nets. Ninety-one percent of the chinook were fin-clipped and 48 percent were upper Columbia salmon. Sixty-seven percent of the steelhead were fin-clipped.
Streamflows are extremely high in the river. The flow at Bonneville Dam this morning was just short of 350,000 cubic feet per second. At Beaver Army Terminal on the Oregon side downstream of Longview, the flow this morning was 606,000, compared to a norm of 232,000.
The Willamette River at Portland this morning was flowing at 159,000 cubic feet per second, compared to an average of 32,200.
The river is getting murkier, too. I drove up state Highway 14 through the Columbia Gorge on Sunday.
While the color of Rock Creek and Wind River looked acceptable, the Little White Salmon River is running brown and Drano Lake is very muddy. No one was fishing at the mouth of Wind River or Drano.
The White Salmon River is muddy, which is a constant since the breaching of Condit Dam in late October.
Liking to hike
There were more than 25 cars parked at the Dog Mountain trailhead at about noon on Sunday. This is with a temperature of 42 degrees, a mild west wind and steady rain.
I can understand the attraction of Dog Mountain in late May and early June, when the balsamroot display is spectacular along with the lupine and paintbrush. But on a gray, rainy day in April, go figure.

Indian shares are forecast to scale new highs next year after elections, attracting offshore funds despite an expected rough period for emerging markets when the US Federal Reserve shifts monetary policy, a Reuters poll showed.
The poll predicts a better performance than this year's 9 per cent increase but far more modest than the 25 per cent surge in 2012 when foreign investors bought a massive $24.4 billion worth of Indian stocks.
The consensus of 21 strategists and brokerages polled Dec 4-11 put the index at 22,625 by the middle of next year and an all-time high of 24,000 by year-end, a gain of just over 13 per cent from Wednesday's close of 21,171.41.
Uncertainty about the outcome of the elections, due by May, has prompted many investors and businesses to delay decisions as there are no clear favorites among leading parties to win a majority when India goes to elections.
Vivek Mahajan, head of research at Aditya Birla Money, says Indian shares will rise after the vote "on expectation of improvement in economic activity, better policy decision-making and an improvement in the investment climate."
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government has been weakened by years of fractious coalition rule and has struggled to push through reforms in the labour market, taxation system and financial markets owing to lack of political consensus.
The main opposition party is widely perceived as more business-friendly by investors and its victory in recent state elections pushed the BSE Sensex to a record high of 21,483.74 on Monday.
This makes for more moving parts than usual in putting together a forecast.
"The market call in 2014 is more challenging for us than we can remember in a while. It requires us to anticipate what the Fed will do, second-guess election results and then forecast India's policy response," wrote analysts at Morgan Stanley.
"If all three go the market's way, we may be in a bull market. However, if two out of three go against the market, we could see significant downside to indices."
Morgan has the lowest forecast in the sample, calling the Sensex at 20,840 by the end of next year.
Indeed, a loss of confidence in government policymaking, a yawning current account deficit and a sharp slowdown in growth hampered the market's performance this year.
The ride isn't likely to be smooth in 2014 either.
Starmine data shows seven of the 30 companies that make up the index will likely see earnings drop next fiscal year. Six

The lines win you the game.
Finally our OLINE and DLINE showed up.
There is a common denominator in all of those completion.
The OLine did its job. NOBODY was even close to CK. Kudos to the Oline.
The Dline finally shows up after being absent for the last few games.
I was in the Rams game and believe me they were getting blown away.
Lets not forget CK also played most of that game last week. The OLine did not play well.
What happens when OLine shows up - better running game and better passing, WR have time to get open (unlike last week).
DLine actually stopped the other side on 3rd down plays (again unlike last week)
Great job CK for playing on fire!
There was an analyst that got it right this week. If Alex plays Bears will not blitz much because he said that teams don't like blitzing Alex because he reads blitzes well. If CK plays then the Bears will blitz and be closer to the line. That did happen but our OLINE took care of those blitzes and CK completed the passes. Oline did not let anybody get near CK except for a couple of times.
Great all around win.
Go Niners!

Chinese Internet Use Surges Past 450 Million People In 2010
There were 457 million Internet users in China by the end of 2010, according to a new report from the China Internet Network Information Center. That's more than one-third of the Asian giant's population and 73 million more people than 2009.
By comparison, the entire population of the United States in 2010 was 308 million in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The report, as covered by the Chinese news agency Xinhua, documents the explosive growth of online commerce and microblogging. But there are also sore spots, including relatively slow Internet access speeds and low penetration in rural areas. Xinhua says the biggest group of users are mobile:
About 66.2 percent of Internet users, or 303 million, used mobile phones to surf the net, an increase of 5.4 percentage points from the previous year, the report said.

Gritty, earthy, unlikely friendship is finally entering India's creative consciousness. This is partly because our cinema has always favoured fantasy over realism, and partly because friendship has evolved over time and now demands a new language of expression.
There is a Chinese saying: 'If you save someone's life, you become responsible for them'. Nautanki Saala, made on a budget of Rs 12 crore and releasing on April 12, opens with this line. Kai Po Che, which released on February 22 and cost Rs 18 crore, has grossed Rs 40 crore by the second weekend. It is the first of a new wave of buddy films coming out of Bollywood. The new perspective is the ability to see unlikeliness as a part of friendship, that was once portrayed as unidimensional.A host of forthcoming films echo this change. There's Chashme Baddoor, a remake by David Dhawan of the 1981 Sai Paranjape classic, on a budget of Rs 25 crore and set to release on April 5, with a star cast of Ali Zafar, Siddharth, and Divyendu Sharma. And there's Farhan Akhtar's Fukrey, made on a budget of Rs 15 crore, releasing on June 14, the story of four high-school wastrels played by Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, Ali Faizal, and Richa Chadda.
The shift began with advertisements like Airtel's 2011 TV campaign Har Ek Friend Zaroori Hota Hai-now running its sequel as Jo Mera Hai Woh Tera Hai-and Tata DoCoMo's Friendship Express. Today, it is captured in advertising campaigns like that of Fastrack and Café Coffee Day's Sit Down series, and in TV shows like Channel V's The Buddy Project and Best Friends Forever.
This is a shift from the buddy films sparked by Dil Chahta Hai (2001). Its producers and childhood friends Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan and Zoya Akhtar, created films that subconsciously reflected their own friendships in an urban setting. Many films followed suit.
The real story of Indian friendship is only now coming into our creative consciousness. This is partly because our cinema has always favoured fantasy over realism, and partly because friendship has evolved over time and now demands a new language of expression. For instance, India is yet to make a gang-of-girls film, like Hollywood's Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants or Bridesmaids.

... ah bone, is the pit of a man after the cumbering flesh has been eaten away.
NOTHING CURED BILL BASS'S headaches so quickly as a call about a corpse. Even after twenty years of identifying human remains, the anticipation of a new case brought instant relief from whatever budget shortfall or stack of exams had started his head pounding in the first place. For that matter, Bass didn't think to grumble at being roused from his bed in the predawn darkness on a cold and rain-whipped morning just before New Year's—by all rights the midpoint in a college professor's winter break.
When Bass accepted the University of Tennessee's invitation to create an anthropology department in 1971, word quickly spread that one of the nation's leading "bone men" was about to take up residence. The governor's office immediately enlisted him to be Tennessee's first state forensic anthropologist, on call twenty-four hours a day. Having honed his art on the sparsely populated prairie around the University of Kansas, Bass expected to deal with the occasional discovery of skeletal remains. He requisi
