According to the survey, The San Francisco metro area (San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont) is twice as humane as the average large metropolitan area.   San Francisco took the top ranking in three of the 12 categories and was in the top ten in seven others. [PRWeb Apr 30, 2007]</description>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2007 -- San Francisco is the most humane city in America, according to a study carried out by The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and released today.  Seattle came in second and Portland third.  According to the survey, The San Francisco metro area (San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont) is twice as humane as the average large metropolitan area.  

Wayne Pacelle, HSUS President and CEO, said that in its survey, the Humane Index, HSUS had ranked the 25 largest metropolitan areas, according to criteria such as the number of vegetarian restaurants per capita, and Congressional leadership on animal issues. San Francisco took the top ranking in three of the 12 categories and was in the top ten in seven others.  San Francisco won with a combined &quot;low&quot; score of 76, compared with a total of 101 by the runner-up.

Representatives from HSUS, San Francisco Department of Animal Care &#38; Control (SF/ACC) and The SF/SPCA will hold a press conference on Monday, April 30 at 11:30 a.m. in SF/ACC Park, at Harrison and 15th Street.

SF/SPCA President Jan McHugh-Smith said today that the attainment of the number one position was a testament to years of dedicated work by the <a href="http://sfspca.org" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="SF SPCA">animal welfare organizations</a> and the citizens of the metropolitan area. &quot;It takes a community to reach this level of achievement,&quot; she noted, &quot;It&#039;s a success that belongs to everyone in the area who works for the betterment of animals&#039; lives.&quot;

The Humane Index is HSUS&#039; first attempt to compare how communities across the nation measure up in terms of the treatment of animals.  West coast cities generally performed better than other areas with San Diego and Los Angeles ranked fifth and sixth respectively.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[San Jose, Calif. (PRWEB) June 22, 2006 -- The first-ever Book Group Expo is a part of history now. The past weekend made San Jose, California a temporary literary Mecca, filled with authors, known and not-yet-discovered, engaged in conversation with hundreds of dedicated readers in Literary Salons that covered a wide variety of topics from mother-daughter relationships to history, death, crime and more.

The two-day affair of readers, writers and fun at San Jose&#8217;s McEnery Convention Center on Saturday, June 17 and Sunday, June 18 delivered a packed and hushed Saturday Morning Salon as author Khaled Hosseini read from and answered questions about his celebrated novel The Kite Runner. Later, another Salon brought down the house with laughter as The Book Group From Hell &#8211; a fully improvised skit featuring Amy Tan (in disguise), Kathi Goldmark, Sam Barry, Susanne Pari, Asa DeMatteo, Audry Ferber, and Rabih Alameddine &#8211; concluded. 

Co-creators Ann Kent and James P. Reber breathed life into the idea about a year ago during what was just a casual lunch that became the launch pad for Book Group Expo. &#8220;We knew the idea was a good one when each person we told took it on as his or her own and joined our efforts,&#8221; said Kent. &#8220;The outpouring of praise and thanks this weekend proved that we struck a chord in a community that I am so glad to be a part of.&#8221;

Reber added, &#8220;The results were incredible &#8211; the energy of everyone throughout the weekend was just amazing. We both feel that Book Group Expo has a great future here and in other cities across the United States. We are excited and committed to bringing BGE back to San Jose next year.&#8221;

Author Liaison Kathi Goldmark and Program Director Susanne Pari worked extremely hard to create thought-provoking salons featuring the pairing of topics and authors that would intrigue the audience.  &#8220;As a result, authors had an opportunity to meet a unique group of readers who posed some of the best questions and comments they had ever heard. &#8220;We had about fifty authors offer to be &#8216;auctioned off,&#8217; for book group visits or phone calls,&#8221; said Goldmark, &#8220;to an audience that was thrilled to learn how valued their support is for literature and writing.&#8221;

The book group phenomenon has had a profound impact on the publishing world, bringing unknown authors to the forefront of literature. Amy Tan notes, &quot;This was a great opportunity for writers to meet their readers and readers to meet the writers whose works they discuss in their groups. It is really book group readers who are keeping literature thriving and relevant, and who can bring good books to a wider audience.&#8221; Tan also encouraged attendees to push the publishers to help put in motion additional ways in which groups could connect with readers suggesting teleconference calls and more.

Philip Prock from Books Inc. reported, &#8220;As a bookseller, I loved this event.  It brought together a wide variety of book lovers and authors for one huge party with wine, chocolate, and intelligent lively discussion.  Because the Expo targeted such a specific segment of serious and enthusiastic readers, folks attending were invested in the event.  Not only did they want to meet authors and attend the panels and discussions, but they purchased a lot of books!&#8221;

Regarding the Salons, Pari said, &#8220;We wanted to create a different kind of Program for readers and authors, salons that would address the topics in fiction that book groups value &#8211; relationships, social behavior, cultural issues &#8211; while also offering expertise on group dynamics and...
