Spring 2003
Deadline for
Summer Newsletter - July 1, 2003
Please direct submissions to the Newsletter to Margaret
Collins, Editor
My first words as newsletter editor are to thank Art Weinberg for sharing with us his great editorial skills over the past three years. He streamlined and refined the process so that a potentially (and I believe actually) onerous task has become fun (at least that's what he tells me!). I would also like to thank him for his very kind mentoring over the past months, that has ensured a smooth transition. My thanks also to Steve Qualman and the members of the Publications Committee for awarding this privilege to me. I've always enjoyed the newsletter-it's one of the few paper or email missives that I read cover-to-cover. I hope you all will continue to enjoy the newsletter as well. I'm very open to suggestions. This is your newsletter. Any suggestions you have about topics to include, etc I will gladly entertain.
The spring meeting in Washington, DC was busy and educational as usual. Hotel security, and security elsewhere in the city, was quite prominent. The presentations were truly outstanding. The committee reports follow, and be sure to see the photos at the end of the newsletter.
Speaking of meetings, please plan to attend the interim meeting October 17-19, 2003 at Cincinnati Children's. The scientific program will be worthwhile, and Tall Stacks Music, Arts and Heritage Festival is a unique occurrence. We will strive to achieve the level of graciousness and good humor displayed by our hosts in Dallas in 2002. And we are counting on at least as many registrants! There will be several firsts at the October meeting. All presentations at the meeting will be digital. USCAP is converting to all-digital meetings, next spring I believe, so we are getting a head start at the interim meeting. The Children's Oncology Group Pathology Discipline will provide an update on neuroblastoma, delivered by Hiro Shimada. (See the announcement below from Grace Kim concerning another first-mentoring young pathologists in COG). At the Cincinnati meeting, Dr.Uma Kotagal will speak about the Pursuing Perfection initiative at Cincinnati Children's, particularly from the point of view of the impact of laboratory medicine on perfecting patient care. A "Timely Topic Talk" (the name can change), similar to Dr. Kotagal's, that is a brief overview about a topic of interest to the registrants and is also an area of interest or expertise in the host institution could become a feature at future interim meetings. We sincerely hope you will join us in October. Abstracts are due June 24, 2003 (see message from Abstract Committee below).
Derek DeSa
I am very honoured to have been elected President of the Society and I would like to thank the members for being given this opportunity to serve. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my membership over the last 30 years, and have benefited enormously from the encouragement and friendship which I have received. It is also very heartening to see how much the Society has grown not only in the numbers of members, but also in terms of the activities we sponsor and support. We still have a major problem with recruitment for the future......Inevitably, our meeting in Washington was affected by the conflict in Iraq, but it was gratifying to see that many of our members were able to attend. Personally speaking, the security measures at the hotel seemed to be unduly intense, but, I suppose that is in the nature of things.
The growth of the Society is a tribute to all its members, especially our Founders, but it is worth recording special indebtedness when it is due. Reflecting on the meeting while traveling home, I was struck by the contributions of our most recent past-Presidents and Farber -Landing Lecturers, and how they exemplify many of the changes in the Society's activities.
Milton Finegold, our Farber -Landing Lecturer for 2003, gave us a masterly review of the history of developments in pediatric medicine and child health, to which he has made huge personal contributions. Apart from being the mentor of so many of the brightest talents in the field and a past-President, as the chair of our Research Committee he was instrumental, in part, in the concept and establishment of the Young Investigator grants, thereby helping to create the ethos whereby the Research activities of the Society flourish. The speakers at our symposium at the 1998 Spring meeting (Boston) were not only excellent, but more to the point, all were former recipients of Young Investigator awards. Three went on to win Lotte Strauss awards with papers whose titles reflected the topics of research that the society supported.
Henry Krous as chairman of the Education Committee, oversaw the continued (and apparently exponential) growth of the Educational activities of the Society, through the murky waters of "perceived needs", "continuing medical education credits" and all the other joyous administrative strictures so beloved by some authorities. He also produced a distillate of the activities of the Committee, with a manual that was both road map and first aid kit, so that successors could obtain some perspective and guidance. Workshop planning and Educational activities have become easier to organize (if not execute!) following his tenure. He has been an ardent advocate for greater interaction between our Society and forensic pathology services, in general, and recent developments appear to show that his efforts in that regard are having an effect.
Ron Jaffe was the first Editor when the Society took over the Journal, and melded the reviewers, authors and the Publications Committee into a smoothly functional corpus, establishing our journal as our flagship publication. It is no exaggeration to say that prior to his editorship the Journal was floundering, and we needed the great amount of energy that he and his assistants spent on our behalf.
"Roc" Kaschula was the first to hold the title of Farber -Landing Lecturer. He forcefully expressed the view, nascent until then within our Society, of the need for us to share with other less fortunate, kindred spirits in the wider world of Pediatric Pathology. Growth in our Education, Research and Publication activities, along with increased mentoring, outreach, and broadening of our horizons in a general sense are all activities that should be a source of great pride to our members, and in so many ways, the recent Presidents and Lecturers cited deserve our gratitude.
If there are some who feel the need for even greater and wider-ranging activities it is worth remembering that the Society has come along way from the days of the Pediatric Pathology Club. The 1973 Washington DC meeting of the Pediatric Pathology Club (my first) consisted of about 20 platform papers only. There were no posters, research symposium, workshops or special Lecture (Dr. Ben Landing assumed the title of President at that meeting, following Dr. Bill Donohue). Our numbers have grown, but our activities have grown at an even greater pace. This year we had a record number of submissions for poster and/or platform presentations for the Spring meeting. The Society could not accept 33 of the78 abstracts submitted, many of which exceeded the cut -off rating level! Hopefully, these abstracts will be resubmitted for the Cincinnati meeting.
The Spring meeting is very busy and, since it is set in a large hotel in a large city, inevitably lacks the collegiality of our Fall meetings. However, the change-over of Officers of the Society occurs at this meeting. A new President is hardly noticeable- or needed in all probability- and that is the way it should be. The seamless transfer of functions depends on the excellent quality of our Committee chairs and all the hard work that they are called upon to do. I would like to repeat, once more, the thanks expressed by Henry Krous to all those volunteers who perform these thankless tasks for our greater benefit. However, there is one key Officer of the Society whose enormous influence is crucial, and without whom this Society could not survive. We have had a run of very good Secretary /Treasurers in the past, but when we elected Deb Perry we awarded ourselves a bonus. She is remarkably well-organised, efficient, unflappable and cheerful. Without her we would have had a far more troubled period of growth and expansion over the last five years, and life for all of us would not have been quite so pleasant. Most members may not know, but by the time we returned home from any meeting, there would be the E-mailed minutes of the most recent Council meeting awaiting comments, along with reminders of tasks to be performed etc in the Inbox! Those Presidents who have served under her (the correct description of the reality) will know just how easy it has been with Deb running things. Fortunately in Hal Pinar we have a superb replacement and the transition will be seamless. As a further act of service Deb Perry has produced a detailed guide, akin to the Education Committee guide, so that future Secretaries will have a clearly defined framework and calendar of activities.
We need to thank Art Weinberg, our retiring editor of the Newsletter and welcome Margaret Collins to this post. The success of the Newsletter depends on the timely submission of Committee Reports and this is a not -so - subtle reminder of that fact to all concerned. The Newsletter will carry many useful items of information in addition to the Committee Reports, including the use of digital projection for our presentations in the future. I would like to remind Members that our Newsletter is a vehicle for all of us to use for the professional development of the membership at large, and we should rally behind Margaret.
This is also a good time for me to express my gratitude to the self-proclaimed Oracle of Indianola (Nebraska) for his guidance and leadership this past year. His efforts have brought the difficult topic of forensic Pediatric Pathology to the forefront of the Society's attention, and he has developed links with the association of Medical Examiners. Hopefully, we will see the membership, old and new, use these links towards better collaboration and a greater understanding of pediatric forensic issues everywhere.
What of the future of the Society? We are faced with a looming shortage of trained Pediatric Pathologists, with more vacancies than new candidates. This is one of the Society's greatest challenges. We have to support any attempt to attract new graduates in to Pathology, and, in turn those Residents to Pediatric Pathology. It is small comfort to know that almost all the pediatric subspecialties are experiencing a similar shortfall. The initiative by the Research Committee led by retiring Chair, Raj Kapur, to have a poster competition for case reports by Residents is an excellent start. We need to publicize this competition, and perhaps even throw it open to medical students, since many Medical Schools offer student electives in Pathology or even specific intercalated periods in Pathology during the undergraduate years. In my view the paramount need is to ensure that Pathology does not get submerged in some of the trendy, "problem solving", loosely structured curricula that are becoming all the vogue. I regard the practice of Pathology as a prime example of "biomedical problem solving" (BMP) with Pediatric Pathology as the "primus inter pares". I have always tried to convey that message to students, even in one of the spiritual homes of BMP's, McMaster in Hamilton. I am certain that we must keep Pathology in the forefront of the Medical school curriculum if we are to succeed in attracting candidates to the Specialty in the first place. (It is a pity that we could not have had a recording of Milton Finegold's Farber-Landing Lecture and made it mandatory for all Medical Students to listen. It could have been a marvelous recruiting tool as it was an outstanding portrayal of the inherent excitement, tremendous impact and direct clinical relevance of Pathology!).
Due to a combination of fortuitous circumstances, I have been able to travel fairly extensively in recent months. I always enjoy the opportunity, but travel has served to re-emphasize the great importance of socio-economic factors in the health of children. These vary from abject poverty with a complete lack of facilities to isolated hospitals with over-worked pathologists-or no pathologists with Pediatric pathology expertise. We may not be able to change socio-economic conditions, but as a Society we should be able to trying to foster links with less fortunate colleagues in the isolated corners of the world. I would like to make this a focus of my tenure. The modern age of communication technology makes it possible to develop electronic links that can link individuals as well as offering access to the electronic libraries of the National Libraries of Congress.
The Spring meeting is a time when some of the future activities planned for the Society are announced. This fall we will meet in Cincinnati OH, Oct 16th -18th, with the Perinatal meeting on Oct 19th. I know that I am not alone when I say that I much prefer our collegial Interim (Fall) meetings to the more formal Spring sessions. The 1983 meeting in Cincinnati was one of my favourites, and unless I am sadly mistaken, the meeting in 2003 will become another favourite. The scientific programme will be a great attraction, of course, but the Tall Stacks Festival sounds inviting and intriguing. Prepare your abstracts, book your flights and hotel room early, and see you there.
Business Meeting Minutes
March 23, 2002, Washington, D.C.
President Krous called the business meeting to order at 5:20 p.m. in the Cotillion South room of the Marriott Wardman Park hotel.
The minutes of the 2002 business meeting were approved.
President Krous acknowledged the loss of Drs. Robert Kirschner, Laurence E. Becker, Kurt Aterman, Kristina Keough, Feike Willemse, Mayra Patricia Alvarez-Franco during the past year and a moment of silence was held.
President Krous reported that since the last business meeting, the following Council actions were performed:
President Krous thanked the outgoing chairs for their outstanding work: Dr. Raj Kapur - Research Committee Chair, Dr. Ted Pysher - Practice Committee Chair and Dr. Arthur Weinberg - Newsletter Editor. President Krous thanked the USCAP/SPP management office for their hard work over the past year. Dr. Krous thanked Dr. Deborah Perry for her work as Secretary-Treasurer.
The Secretary-Treasurer reported on the membership status and the financial position of the Society:
At year-end 2002, there were a total of 603 SPP members, with 392 regular, 28 junior, 82 affiliate, 1 honorary, 55 emeritus and 45 life members.
As of January 1, 1998, all Society restricted and unrestricted funds were transferred into mutual fund holdings managed by Salomon Smith Barney. As of December 31, 2002 the SPP had total assets of $522,765, with $281,873 in restricted funds (Vawter, Lotte Strauss, Young Investigator), and $97,532 in unrestricted general funds. All of the funds have significantly lower values than the previous year.
As of January 2003, the three restricted funds (Young Investigator, Lotte Strauss and Vawter) have been consolidated into a single Awards fund, with Salomon Smith Barney. Additional funding was received from the Vawter family. The central management office operations are in good shape, with the transition to the USCAP management team successfully completed.
Reports were heard from the Committee Chairs:
Archives Committee - Dr. Krous reported that Dr. Landing's archives will be archived at the SPP office.
Distinction and Awards Committee - Dr. Perry reported that the Lotte Strauss, Neustein and Vawter awards will be presented tomorrow morning.
Bylaws Committee - No Report.
Education Committee - Dr. Goldstein reported for the Education Committee. Thank you to Drs. OnaMarie Faye-Petersen, David Witte and Daphne DeMello for their service on the Education committee. Special thanks to Dr. Witte for organizing and moderating the 2003 symposium. Thank you to Dr. Laura Finn and the abstract committee for their hard work. The number of abstracts submitted was at an all time high for this meeting. The SPP underwent an ACCME review and with the efforts of Dr. Lisa Teot has full accreditation for another two years. Future activities include a 2004 annual meeting symposium on lung pathology, moderated by Dr. Daphne DeMello. New workshops for 2004 include pediatric gynecology by Dr. Debra Heller and liver pathology by Drs. Jim Dimmick and Gareth Jevon. All future meetings will have100% digital presentations. The SPP has endorsed the St. Jude's Pediatric Hematology symposium in October 2003. Please fill out your meeting evaluation forms for this meeting to help plan future meetings. CME credit forms are available at the SPP meeting registration desk; with one combined form for the general meeting and workshops.
Fellowship Committee - Dr. Greco reported for the Fellowship Committee. A pediatric pathology market survey reveals that there are 18 staff positions available and only 5 fellows finishing their fellowships this summer.
Finance Committee - Dr. Vogler reported for the Finance Committee. The Society will switch the management of the SPP investment accounts from Salomon Smith Barney to Merrill Lynch effective April 1, 2003.
Long-term Planning Committee - Dr. Coffin reported that there are three things that the
long-term planning committee is working on. One is consolidation of previously long-term planning information; the second is an outreach effort by the Society and the third is to develop our vision and roadmap into the future by developing a strategic plan.
Practice Committee - Dr Pysher thanked Drs. Hicks and Russo for their service on the Practice committee. An example of a case from the case surveys will be placed on the SPP website this year. The case survey material is generally supplied by members of the Practice committee, however all members
are encouraged to provide cases. Dr. Kohut is in charge of the case survey program. Perinatal cases are especially needed this year. HIPPA regulations will be followed for all case survey cases. Dr. Pysher reported those results of the survey of SPP membership demographics and practice will be summarized in the PDP journal.
Publications Committee - Dr. Qualman reported for the Publications committee. The website will soon have available a membership database on the SPP website accessible for all members to update their demographic information. Abstract submission online is still being explored,
with tentative plans for spring 2004. Electronic abstract submission will not be available for the fall 2003 meeting. Special thanks to Hal Pinar, webmaster and Margaret Collins, the new newsletter editor. The PDP journal continues to receive a good number of submissions and the journal impact factor has continued to climb. The journal is planning to move to electronic submission of papers by the end of 2003. The new managing editor, Michael Centola, was introduced to the PDP editorial board at this meeting. As of January 1, 2004, the American College of Surgeons will begin inspecting all programs of comprehensive cancer centers (adult and pediatric). 100% compliance
of 90% of the cases is expected, with actual checklist and explanatory notes both reviewed. All protocols will be published in the Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine first. Dr. Coffin reported that the CAP templates would not have to be used if all of the key elements are in the surgical pathology report.
Research Committee - Dr. Roberts reported for the Research committee. The McAdams travel stipend will be given to Dr. Margaret Collins. Seven applications for the YI award were received and the award will be given to Dr. Roberto Gianini for his work "Transgenic expression of survivin in NOD mouse islets ".

Awards for presentations at the Washington DC Spring Meeting 2003
At the SPP's spring meeting in Washington DC in late March, three individuals were recognized for meritorious scientific efforts.
The Vawter Pathologist in Training Award was presented to Dr. M Kshirsagar, M.D. Children's Research Institute, Columbus, OH., for her paper:
CORRELATION OF GENOTYPE/PHENOTYPE IN A NUDE RAT MODEL OF METASTATIC RHABDOMYOSARCOMA. Coauthors are:
C Corpron, J Gastier-Foster, E Albright, M Blumenkratz, F Barr, S Qualman, from the Children's Research Institute, Columbus, OH, and Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA. See below.
The Neustein "Novel Technology" Award was presented to Dr. C Hasan for her paper
(WT). Coauthors are: D Kersey, P Grundy, EJ Perlman and the NWTSG. Children's Memorial Hospital, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL. See below.
The Lotte Strauss Prize, which is awarded annually to the author of the best paper published on a subject germane to pediatric pathology in the preceding year by an individual 40 years of age or younger, was awarded to Dr. Csaba Galambos, M.D. He received the prize as first author of the paper:
ISOFORMS, published in the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and MolecularBiology, 2002;27:194-203. He will be invited to give the
LOTTE STRAUS LECTURE about this work during the Fall Meeting in Cincinnati. Dr. Galambos is currently a Fellow in Pediatric Pathology at Children's Hospital in
Boston, and was formerly at the Department of Pathology in Saint Louis University Health Sciences Center and Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, Saint Louis, Missouri, where he performed the work that culminated in the prized paper. Coauthors are Y-S Ng, A Ali, A Noguchi, S Lovejoy, and PA D'Amore.
Abstract (Neustein Award)
DIFFERENCES IN GENETIC EXPRESSION BETWEEN HYPERPLASTIC PERILOBAR NEPHROGENIC RESTS (HPLNR) AND WILMS TUMORS (WT). C. Hasan MS, D. Kersey BS, P Grundy MD, EJ Perlman MD, and the NWTSG. Children's Memorial Hospital, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.
WT frequently develop in the setting of HPLNR, which are in turn mistaken for WT due to their histologic overlap. Our goals are to investigate 1) the pathogenesis of HPLNR, 2) the development of WT from HPLNR and 3) diagnostic markers able to distinguish between HPLNR and WT. We examine the gene expression profiles of 3 HPLNRs, 3 blastemal or poorly differentiated epithelial WT that arose within a PLNR, and two 16 wk gestation kidneys using Affymetrix HU-133A arrays representing 22,000 genes. Significant differential expression was defines as >3-fold expression difference. Hierarchical clustering analysis showed discrete clustering of the fetal kidneys, the HPLNRs, and the WT; genes showing greater expression in HPLNR included, Pax8, FZD6, Notch2, WISP3, MET, STAT4, and IGFBP4. Genes with increased expression in WT relative to HPLNR included PDGFRA, CSPG2, LDB2, RGS5, IGF2BP3, SFRP1 and THBS. In summary, HPLNR and WT show different genetic expression profiles. Theses differences can be targeted for diagnostic purposes, as well as for understanding the steps in the pathogenesis of HPLNR and WT. The distinct differences between the expression of fetal kidney relative to HPLNR suggest that the pathogenesis of HPLNR may involve different pathways than normal nephrogenesis.
Abstract (Vawter Pathologist in Training Award)
RHABDOMYOSARCOMA. M. Kshirsagar, B.S.;C. Corpron, MD; J. Gastier-Foster, PhD; E. Albright MD; M. Blumenkrantz, MD; F. Barr MD; S. Qualman MD. Children's Research Institute, Columbus, OH, and Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.
A model of rhabdomyasarcoma (RMS) in the athymic nude rate (mu/mu) allows the study of mechanisms underlying metastatic spread and organ predisposition, as well as testing new therapeutic strategies for children with metastatic RMS. A suspension of 1 x 107 cells containing either the Rh28 alveolar RMS (ARMS) cell line [t(2;13)], an ARMS with t(1;13), or a RD2 embryonal RMS cell line (with a p53 mutation) was injected into the left ventricle of 5-7 week old nude rats (n=-12 for each cell line). Each cell line produced a unique pattern of metastatic disease indicating a relationship between the cell line genotype and the phenotypic expression of the RMS subtype. All xenografts showed the stability of translocations (RT-PCR) in the tumors produced and were also MyoD1, myogenin and desmin immunopositive with myogenesis. Twenty-five (25)% of rats receiving t(2;13) cells have been sacrified at means of 58 days post-injection due to palpable subcutaneous interscapular masses, symmetric retroperitoneal and paraspinal masses, and orbital proptosis, with a classic microscopic alveolar pattern. Rats injected with t(1;13) cells had exclusively diffuse skeletal metastases, with 100% of animals developing pathologic fractures and hind limb paralysis between 17.5 to 35 days post-injection. Histologically, the t(1;13) tumors resembled embryonal RMS. Twenty-five (25)% of RD2 injected rats were sacrificed at a mean of 110 days, due to an exclusively miliary pattern of metastatic pulmonary nodules which were also embryonal RMS microscopically. This metastatic xenograft model of RMS may shed new light on the genotypic dictates of metastatic RMS in human patients and its histologic correlates.

Carlos Galliani, Chair
Just a reminder to all members to keep your dues current. We depend on prompt payment to keep benefits, such as receiving PDP, coming.
Ted Pysher, Chair
The Practice Committee met on Friday, March 21, 2003, prior to the SPP annual meeting. The committee gratefully acknowledged the service of Drs. John Hicks, Ted Pysher, and Pierre Russo, who were completing their terms of office.
Evaluations of the Case Study Survey were generally favorable, and these evaluations, as well as a summary of the performance of respondents were shared with Education Committee for use in planning future educational offerings. There was also a discussion of potential applications of digital technology and virtual microscopy to the survey, and Dr. Halit Pinar, Website Editor, will attend the fall meeting of the Practice Committee to explore this further. In the interim, a sample case will be placed on the website, and input from members about this format will be most welcome. We also plan to advertise the survey to residency program directors, and will direct those individuals to the website to view a sample case. As always, SPP members are encouraged to submit cases for the survey, and those wanting to do so should contact Dr. Gloria Kohut, Case Study Subcommittee Chairperson, at
email@example.com .
Case Study Survey cases have never included specific personal identifiers, but to further protect patient confidentiality, the committee recommended that future cases be presented as "case scenarios" without specific dates, full facial photographs, or institutional identifiers -- including the identity and affiliation of the person submitting the case. Submitters of future cases will also be asked to affirm that submissions are in compliance with their institution's HIPAA requirements.
Finally, the committee reviewed the preliminary results of the 2003 Membership Survey that accompanied this year's dues statement. To date, completed questionnaires have been received from 129 of the Society's 603 members; and paint a picture of a diverse, busy, aging, and active group that has no shortage of ideas about the future direction of the SPP. These preliminary findings have already been shared with the Society's Council and Long Range Planning Committee; and will undoubtedly figure into the future plans of other committees. A detailed analysis is being prepared for Pediatric and Developmental Pathology, but if you have not yet responded and wish to do so, an electronic copy of the form can be downloaded from the SPP Website, and then e-mailed as an attachment to Dr. Mary Davis at
Steve Qualman, Chair
A review of the Pediatric and Developmental Pathology (PDP) journal revealed that 133 manuscripts were submitted this year, compared to 140 last year. By late fall of this year, PDP, working with Springer Publishers, hopes to move towards a format of electronic submission of manuscripts to facilitate submissions. A motion to increase the budget for the managing editor to 15 hours per week for the year 2003 was approved. It was also determined that the 2003 travel budget for PDP will be $1500.
The Committee approved financial support for moving the membership database to "Memberclicks". This database will be password protected and members will be able to correct their own data. The central office will also update the database twice a year. Dr. Pinar presented various options for on-line abstract submission. He is continuing to work with various vendors, with plans to review at the Fall 2003 meeting and aim for on-line abstract submission for the Spring 2004 meeting.
As of January 2004, all Pathology practices will be expected to comply with the key ingredients of the American College of Surgeons and College of American Pathologists (CAP) cancer protocols. The Childrens Oncology Group (COG), working with CAP, has protocols for Wilms tumor, neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, retinoblastoma, and Ewing's sarcoma in process. They will be published in the Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Discussion was also held in regards to potential links from the SPP website to the CAP website, where all the protocols will eventually be available. Dr. Qualman will discuss this possibility with the CAP in July, 2003.
Raj Kapur, Chair

In 1995, then-Vancouver Mayor Bruce Hagensen signed a sister-city agreement with Senji Imamichi, then mayor of Joyo, Japan, to formalize a friendship that had begun years earlier.
Until now, no one had comprehensively documented the friendship, which has produced student exchanges, cultural exchanges and business relations.
Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt decided for Joyo's 40th anniversary, the gift from Vancouver should be a written history of the relationship. He knew there would be an invitation coming for someone from the city to attend the celebration, just as a delegation of 12 Joyo officials came to Vancouver this summer for the dedication of the Royce E. Pollard Japanese Friendship garden, named for the former mayor who visited Joyo in 1997 for the city's 25th anniversary.
"There hadn't been a concerted effort to put this all together," Leavitt said. "There's all this stuff in different places, photos and gifts."
The 23-page document, titled, "Celebrating Friendship: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," will be delivered to Joyo officials next week by Hagensen, who will represent the city at a Joyo anniversary celebration on Dec. 4.
No single author is listed on the book, which is a lengthy timeline of events with photos, but several names are acknowledged in the creation of the gift. Those names include Kathy Condon, whom Leavitt contacted about his idea, and Suzanne Luttrell, who Condon credited with doing most of the work.
Hagensen, an honorary citizen of Joyo who will be making his 10th trip to the city, will actually deliver two copies. One will go to city officials and the other to the Joyo Rotary Club, as the sister-city relationship has been sponsored by the Vancouver and Joyo clubs. Each document will be encased in a red-felt-lined wooden box. The boxes are made from combinations of walnut, cherry, maple and swamp ash and were built at Friends of the Carpenter.
A third box will remain with the Rotary Club of Vancouver.
On Nov. 14, Hagensen and Leavitt were among officials who went to see the finished boxes at Friends of the Carpenter, an agency that helps homeless people get basic needs met and has a woodworking shop.
"This is a gift that our friends in Japan will appreciate," Leavitt told the woodworkers. "Literally, you had a hand in it."
The Rev. Duane Sich, executive director of Friends of the Carpenter, led the crowd in prayer.
"Bless Lord these boxes, and also bless the people who will receive them," Sich said.
The cost of producing the document and the boxes was paid for by donations, primarily by members of the Vancouver Rotary Club. The city doesn't have a budget for sister-city related spending, Leavitt said. The Rotary club hosts the relationship and has responsibility for financial obligations. When the city does send gifts, city councilors personally contribute money, he said.
Also, no public money will be used for Hagensen's trip.
Local companies
Joyo, which was incorporated in 1972, is in the center of the Yamashiro Basin, halfway between the cities of Kyoto and Nara.
A delegation from the Columbia River Economic Development Council, including Hagensen, visited Japan in 1984. Hagensen, after the agreement was signed, said the city's economies are globally linked.
"The more we can understand each other's culture, the more successful we'll be," he said in 1996.
Japanese companies such as SEH America, Kyocera and Sharp Corp. have plants in Clark County.
Rotary clubs from the two cities developed a relationship before the sister-city agreement was signed. In 1987, the Tears of Joy Puppet Theatre went to Japan for a tour, for example, and the following year a Japanese theater group came to Vancouver.
In 1996, the Kumamoto University Middle School Choir performed on a trip sponsored by Soroptimist International of Vancouver. In 2006, a children's art exchange began between the cities. Every year, Clark College invites the community to celebrate the blooming cherry trees at the Sakura Festival; the trees were planted on campus in 1990 to symbolize the international friendship. Hudson's Bay High School started a Japanese student exchange program in 1984. A new scholarship, sponsored by SEH America and the Clark College Foundation, will cover full tuition for a Japanese student who resides in the area affected by last year's tsunami in Japan.
After the sister-city agreement was signed, a newspaper editor in Japan said Joyo officials wanted a sister city to give citizens a chance to make American friends and study the principles of freedom and democracy.
Leavitt said he hopes the sister-city bond continues to strengthen, particularly in encouraging more businesses to locate here.

PuteraSculptures are often made with natural materials like stone, wax and wood. But what about using a copy of the Jakarta Globe?
Eko Sethiono, a 52-year-old shop owner, talks to My Jakarta about his unusual sculpting material.
First of all, do you have a background in art?
No, I run a technical equipment shop [laughs]. When I was a kid, I used to express myself by drawing. Now I do it by sculpting and painting paper.
I've found that what I learned about the structure of the human face through drawing can be applied in making precise 3-D sculptures out of newspaper.
How did you discover this new method of sculpting?
Back in 2008, I joined a course at my church. They invited a speaker every week and gave them a souvenir for their trouble. The souvenirs were usually books or religious paraphernalia. I wondered why they couldn't give them something more unique than that, something special that could not be bought at any store. So out of curiosity, I gave newspaper sculpture a try, and it was a success.
So how does it work?
My basic materials are newspaper and glue. For each sculpture, I usually need around eight daily newspapers. First, I make a draft of the thing I want to sculpt, and memorize the form. Then I cut, roll and squeeze the newspaper into the shape I want and cover it with glue to harden it. To make some of my sculptures look more wood-like, I lacquer them with a varnish.
To make a human figure, I start with the body, then work out to the head, arms, legs and accessories. When all the pieces are ready, all I have to do is stick them all together.
How long does it take to make each sculpture?
It really depends on my mood. If I'm in the zone, then I can finish a sculpture in one day. If I'm not really in the mood for it, then the sculpture could take weeks to finish [laughs]. At one time I was so into my sculptures that my wife complained I couldn't think about anything else.
Do you only make sculptures in one color?
No, I make several colorful sculptures, too. To add color, I print colored paper from the computer. With the computer, I can easily recognize the color I want, whether it's the color of human skin, or a trademark and so on. When it's ready, I simply cut the paper and stick it onto my sculpture, piece by piece.
What kind of figures do you sculpt?
I often make Christian figures, like Jesus Christ, Mary or Joseph. As for objects, I have made trishaws, flowers, bells, Vespas and traditional pinisi sailing boats.
What encourages you to make a new sculpture? Do people ever request certain figures?
I sculpt when I want to. Once I took an order from a friend who wanted a gift for his boss overseas. I made a sculpture about 40 centimeters high of a tower with a money bag on top of it. He loved it. But I rarely take orders from anyone else. If someone asks me to make a sculpture for them, then I'll observe that person first. I usually want to find out if they are capable of taking care of things or not. I don't want my creations to go to waste. That would be heart-breaking for me. My biggest sense of achievement is when I give someone one of my creations and he or she loves it. I certainly wouldn't sell them to just anybody.
What is the most difficult thing to sculpt?
Definitely a woman's face. I have no idea why, but I can only make men's faces. I've tried making a woman's face, like when I tried making a sculpture of Mary, but it didn't turn out so well. Maybe the rough texture of newspaper is not suitable for a stereotypical woman's face, which is soft and smooth. But I hope to master it one day.
Why don't you turn your hobby into a business?
I never thought of it. I guess I don't want to change the purpose of my creations. Besides, I think my artwork is still not good enough, even though people tell me it's great. Plus, I know the difference between giving a sculpture as a gift, not as a transaction: appreciation. People appreciate gifts so much more. If it's something you just buy, there is less of a sense of ownership.
Is there a famous sculpter you look up to?
No, I just surf the Internet and look for good sculptures to inspire me. I think it is not the person behind the artwork who is important, but the beauty of the creation itself.
Eko Sethiono was talking to Kevin Sanly

Too Slow
By John
from Lake Anna, VA
About Me Intermediate
Comments about Liquid Force Fish Wakesurf Board 2012:
This board is great if you are having trouble getting up to wakesurf. It's very bouyant and definitely built with the beginner in mind. However, this board is extremely slow and does not respond well when you're trying to give it some gas, making it harder to stay or get back into the sweet spot. I would definitely recommend saving yourself some money and getting something more advanced so you don't have to upgrade as quickly.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My wife and I are both just starting out with wake surfing. This board is stable and easy to get up on. I was up on the first try, and my wife made it in three tries. EVO had the best price I could find and I will use them again in the future.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Catalogue number: WP6/6/4(6)
Annotated proof print illustration of an orang-utan for Wallace's book Studies Scientific and Social, undated, circa 1900.
This proof print shows an illustration of an old male orang-utan, labelled as Simia satyrus (Bornean orang-utan, now called Pongo pygmaeus). The annotations are by Wallace, in preparation for his book Studies Scientific and Social (published in 1900). The book was made up mainly of reprints of important articles written by Wallace over the 35 years from 1865 to 1899. As the title suggests, this covered a broad range of topics that held Wallace's interest, for example geology, animal and plant distribution, anthropology and evolution.
Wallace described the orang-utan: 'Though very large and powerful, it is a harmless creature, feeding on fruit, and never attacking any other animal except in self-defence' (page 157). Wallace had first-hand experience of these apes and recounts his time collecting in Borneo during his Malay Archipelago expedition.
The illustration was included in volume one, chapter seven 'Monkeys: Their Affinities and Distribution' (fig. 7, page 162). The original paper was published in Contemporary Review (December 1881). Wallace wrote 'Huxley's "Man's Place in Nature"' at the top of the proof print. This refers to the origin of the illustration: T.H. Huxley's Man's Place in Nature and Other Anthropological Essays (1863).

This is situated inside crosswords bookstore and it very pricey but worth trying once. Love the baked potato –a meal in itself. My mom loves the Focaccia bread here and the dessert section is amazing. Do try the carrot marzipan cake, baked cheesecake, chocolate caramel and even exotic dessert like Baklava. Everything is presented well with a nice ambiance and it is worth spending some time here.

Good for Light Eats
This branch of Cafe Moshe's is located inside of a crossword book store on a mezzanine floor. So after buying a couple of new books to gorge on, you can climb up to the cafe and sit with a nice coffee or a hot chocolate. The last time I went I order for their Grilled Chicken with Salsa Verde and a Roasted Baby Potato Salad which had a lovely fresh and tangy lemon dressing as well as a Peach Iced Tea. Cozy place to visit for light eats.

Just what you want in a coffee shop
This is a good little coffee shop located inside the crossword bookstore, at Kemps Corner. The menu is the same as the other Moshe's outlets around Mumbai. The food is good and the service is efficient without being intrusive.
It's quite a small palce so meal times are a bit busy.

Good ol' cafe
This is a quite place near Crossword. We seated upstairs, and ordered Cafe Latte and Mocha with Chocolate mudpie.
Their ambiance is pretty likeable, but their place is a little short in space. With 6-7 people upstairs, they will be full. Their staff is quite attentive and ready to serve.
They have good options for quick bites, especially salads. Their menu is quite extensive. Anyways coming to our order, Both the coffees were pretty good. Served with biscuits, I especially like the mugs in which they were served.
Coming to the mudpie, din't actually like the way it was served, and also the taste was pretty ordinary. Nothing great.
Mocha is something you should try. Good place to chill out before having dinner.

Always a favorite
Nothing pleases than a good book coupled with a warm cup of coffee. And of course, some yum filled sandwiches and drooling desserts to make the book reading or meeting friends experience to make it more memorable.
Coming to this place for years -pulled equally by the collection of books downstairs and a cozy cafe upstairs. Always a place to come back to and relax with a book, for hours on go.

Cozy booklover's paradise
Built on the mezzanine floor of the crosswords book shop, this place is great because it serves great coffees and snacks. The best thing about it, is that it allows you to bring books from crosswords and read them whilst you sip your coffee (you want to avoid that if you are clumsy) It is quieter in the afternoons and early evenings but by around 5:30ish it gets very crowded and noisy. Getting a table at this time is almost impossible and reading is out of the question.
Great things to try here are the mocha(love the cute cookies that come with it) and the mushroom open sandwich. It is a little expensive for a cafe but a great way to spend time by yourself!

Say Cheese!
This is the second review I'm writing for this place, and I can't help but say I love this little eatery. Whenever I'm in Kemps Corner, I always stop by! The service is totally perfect - the waiters are attentive and well-mannered. The ambience - that's what I go for!
Now for my second staple from Moshe's! The oven-baked pasta :-)
It's creamy, cheesy and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I added chicken to my pasta - they're pretty generous with add-ons, I must say. I chose the garlicky white sauce and it was yummy! The side platter of garlic bread sticks are chewy, toasty and bursting with flavour. Meal well-cherished.
You have to try some, the portion is well-satisfying for one person.
Damage - Rs. 276

The word is Harissa, mate.
I finally went to this place by pure chance (as I came to Crossword for book-browsing) and also, after hearing a lot about it - decided to stop by. Me and my friend were super-hungry and we keep flitting between items as to figure out what to have.. Finally, we ordered the Grilled Jalapeno Chicken with sun-dried tomatoes and harissa sauce in an onion focaccia (that's an Italian bread flavoured with herbs and onions) & my friend had some average sandwich that I don't even remember! My sandwich, needless to say, was the best sandwich I've had so far! The harissa sauce was totally divine and so sumptuous. It reminded me of a sauce that they use in shawarmas back in the M.E and I love the sauce...it was spicy, tangy, garlicky and very, very mouth-watering.. For dessert, we had the Apple Crumble Pie and I, the Sugar Gooey Chocolate (Tasted weird and not at all chocolatey). My friend was happy with her pie so I guess it was okay. Anyway, I'll never be able to forget the sandwich for a long time to come. :)

Have a quick, yet delicious bite here
Dropped into this place last Saturday afternoon with a few friends. The thing that i liked most about this place was the cozy feel to it, quite possibly because it is tucked away in one small quaint little upstairs corner inside a huge book-store.
The staff was very friendly, we kept nagging them every 5 minutes to give us our table during our wait time but they just smiled and told us to be patient.
the food was very nice and well exceeded my expectations. I tried the honey plum chilli chicken sandwich which was really good but i think it was only on the daily special and not the regular menu. The blueberry cheesecake, the waffles, and a few other desserts that were ordered by us all looked and tasted fresh. I think we each chipped in about Rs. 400 for a sandwich and a dessert.
In a nutshell, this place is a good weekend afternoon/evening hangout spot where you can also get Value-for-money food.

good lill nook
cafe moshe wasnt too bad to begin with but once the menu changed it got better.
though i dont think the hummus is all that great they hve some fantastic crostini options as well as a nice bake.
the dessert selection is pretty good too but the menu is wildly different from the signature Moshe Shek restaurant.
all in all everytime im at Crossword i stop by !
January 12,2007
fave quiet hangout
When I am in the mood to settle down with a great book over a tasty dessert and shot of espresso or cup of coffee, I retreat upstairs in Crosswords in Kemps Corner to this cafe run by the Moshe's people(which people have raved about on burrp). Although you might get a few youngsters sprinkled in throughout the day, this remains a true best for coffee, pastries or light lunch, in the comfort of a great bookstore!

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Have The Real Housewives of Atlanta Filmed the Season 5 Reunion Yet?
We're well into Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but seeing as the first half of the season flew by, we're already thinking about the always-entertaining reunion. In the past, the RHoA reunions have been some of the most lively across the franchise, so when can we expect Andy Cohen to wrangle the H'Wives and sit them down on those fancy couches?
According to Porsha Stewart, the ladies have not yet filmed the Season 5 sit-down. When a Twitter follower asked her if the reunion has been taped, she replied, "not yet in a couple months! I'm soo ready."
A couple of months?! Looks like this season of RHoA is going to be another long one! But the fact that Porsha is so ready for the showdown indicates that she's got some things to get off her pretty little chest!
Are you ready for the RHoA reunion? Sound off below!

The Panthers, who went 21-7 last spring, added two
runs in the top of the fourth as winning pitcher Kyle Hair plated both runs with a bloop single.
The Panthers added eight runs on four hits in the top of the sixth, sending 12 men to the plate. They finished with 15 hits. Joel Roberts and McMicking both had three while Heflin and Brian Doucet both had two.

Workers go the extra mile for TCT
Posted: November 26, 2012|
Workers at Argos in Ely are gearing up for a festive-themed charity run for the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT).
Staff members are taking part in the DoItForCharity Santa Run in Greenwich, London, on Sunday, December 9.
They will be running either the 5km or 10km routes in Father Christmas outfits and hope to raise at least £1,000 for the TCT.
Paul Kesterton, store manager, said: "There are 10 of us taking part and we've chosen to support the TCT. They're an amazing charity and we hope
to raise at least £1,000.
"Half of us will be doing the 10km and the other half will be running the 5km, and we'll all be on our full Santa costumes.
"We're all really looking forward to it."
The store has been supporting the TCT for the last two years and to date has raised in the region of £3,500.
To sponsor them, pop into the store in Ely's High Street or visit www.justgiving.com/Paul-Kesterton.

VESTAL, N.Y. – Senior Nick Decrescenzo (New Milford, Conn.), and sophomores Michael Simon (Durham, Conn.) and Brice Paey (Milton, N.H.), each won conference titles as the University of New Hampshire men's outdoor track & field team placed second at the America East Championships on Saturday and Sunday at Binghamton University's East Gym Track Complex.

Leites: Silva didn't not finish me on purpose
By Evan Stoumbelis
Former UFC Middleweight Thales Leites responded to Anderson Silva's comments today that the Middleweight Champ took it easy on Leites in their title fight because of their friendship.
"First, I want to say that Anderson never attended the New Union, never seen him there, we were never friends or acquaintances besides our profession. No doubt he is a great fighter. If he says he feels he went easy on me because he is my 'friend', I disagree. I was heavily criticized after the fight with Anderson, I really should have tried to fight more and take more chances, but the other opponents who came after me did not do much better. Those who tried to standup exposed themselves, eventually they got knocked out.
I find it funny that a champion in his interviews who always preaches respect for others and the martial arts would give such a statement. I am a fighter always, I know what a fighter does and has to do to get up there. We all have good and bad times in our careers, after all, life is a true giant wheel, being on top, middle or bottom should always keep us humble and keep us quiet. There is no super man, we are all human beings."

Anderson Silva says he took it easy of Thales Leites

i review the fight and it looks like anderson would of ko leites but didnt want to.
Wait, leites still exists?
Anyone who believes in a fight someone would take it easy on someone else is a complete clownbox. Yea your more of a friend then the 75k ko bonus I threw away taking it easy on you. In fact we are such good friends that you deny being my friend….idiots. silva fans are so lost if she start believing this junk. I took it easy on him…haha classic dumbass statement of the year..
Fitch would kick both their asses
Fitch is the p4p best out there
Except for when he got his ass whooped by GSP and knocked out by Hendricks. Mhm. But yah, that doesn't count, he was taking it easy on them right?
Listen, I can understand that Thales would say this, obviously it seems as though AS said that, and then Thales would have to come out saying "No that's not true." However, Andre Pederneiras came out and backed Thales' words. Maybe I don't believe Thales, but Mr. Pederneiras has only given us great champions and interim champions. Nova Uniao fighters bring it (except Thales for some reason). I think Anderson shouldn't have said that (even if I thought it were true…which I don't).
yea he took it easy on Maia and Leities even Stevie Wonder saw that. Imo if they where not Brazilian they wouldve been finished in the 1st
anderson has a right to speak, what he is doing is being superman. no need to kill the heroes, just open yourself up to the contagiousness of their lights and carry the fire. rock on. choosefoam.com
The lack of English skills displayed by some of the "writers " working for BJ Penn.com is disappointing. "Didn't not finish me on purpose"….WTF? Avoiding double negatives is something everyone learns in the 6th grade. Looks like Evan Stoumbelis never made it that far.
That is pretty f*cking brutal man. Maybe we should get jobs here, I mean I love the site but it seems like some of this stuff is just thrown together while watching BJ Penn fights.
There quotes….n in case u havent noticed Brazilians usually talk like that
@Spice 1…That was not a quoted statement, idiot. It's the writer's poor attempt at coming up with a headline for the article.
Aldo vs. Edgar UFC 153 Oct. 13!!!!
Hell yeah!!!! Now it's on!
Holy Jesus Christ!!
I just woke up to this news, F*ck yeah! Frankie won't be getting a fulll training camp but hopefully he is still in shape from his last fight. #WarEdgar!!
when I saw the fight that's what I thought. Anderson was reluctant to hurt him anymore. Thales was busted up and took a lot of punishment, but Silva held back. It was obvious because he took a lot of steam off his punches and he wouldn't hit him in the face. After the fight Anderson embraced him as if they were friends. I do think Silva took mercy on him. I have seen fighters do that before. I've seen fighters look up at the ref like are you going to make a decision.
Well they may not have been "Friends" as Thales put but it's mighty interesting that Thales joined the BlackHouse gym not soon after that fight! So why join somewhere that one of the Top guys in that camp "Held" back from Whooping your Ass? all everyone has to do is look at that fight and tell Anderson did indeed hold back why because Thales and Damien Maia's fights with Anderson are the ONLY ones that didn't end with Anderson "KOing" or Submitting them has he's done to everybody he's fought in the UFC the other only exception is Patrick Cote who blew out his Knee.
75k to anderson silva would be his kids pocket money

October 11 is Day of the Girl!
19 December 2011: The United Nations has declared October 11 as 'International Day of the Girl Child', following an extensive campaign by Plan.
Take action: Join us for this year's International Day of the Girl 2014!
The move comes thanks to the passion and commitment of girls themselves who have lobbied the UN with support from Plan, the Canadian government and all the UN member states, as well as the thousands of people who signed our petition.
Girls face double discrimination due to their gender and age, and are the most marginalised and discriminated group across the globe. This new world day will help to prioritise girls' rights as the salient issue in the coming decades.
Special focus
"By designating October 11th as Day of the Girl we are all agreeing to put a special focus on the rights of girls throughout the world. We know that in many countries girls get left behind in all areas of life from school to work and many are prevented from fulfilling their true potential by severe discrimination and prejudice," said Plan Chief Executive Officer Nigel Chapman.
Many girls have been calling for a Day of the Girl – including Lil Shira, a young woman from Cameroon who was among a Plan-supported delegation of girls at the UN's Commission on the Status of Women earlier this year.
"Girls are being neglected, marginalised, and discriminated in families and society. Most of the girls are ignorant about their rights. The Day of the Girl will make girls feel respected, recognised and their contributions valued in society," she said.
Great day
Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee, a long standing supporter of Plan's Day of the Girl campaign, said: "I think the International Day of the Girl Child would be a great day for the issues of the girl child to be brought to light for media institutions, for government institutions, and for educational institutions to take the time to think: Girls are the future of the world and we definitely need a day dedicated to their issues."
Global launch
Plan's Because I am Girl campaign launches globally on 11 October 2012 - the first ever international Day of the Girl.
Please help us raise 1 million hands to show the UN that the world believes educating girls should be a priority.
Raise Your Hand and spread the word right now at raiseyourhandNOW.com
For all the campaign launch action, please follow us on twitter.com/planglobal and facebook.com/planinternationalWatch campaigners explaining why the Day of the Girl is important to them:

Laurel: Dynamic Strike makes Miracle Wood his third straight victory
Dynamic Strike emerged from a pack of six horses spread across the track with a furlong remaining to record his third straight victory in Saturday's $75,000 Miracle Wood Stakes for 3-year-olds at Laurel Park.
The entire field was bunched within 1 1/2 lengths approaching the eighth pole of the one-mile Miracle Wood. The group soon began to spread out, with Dynamic Strike's uncoupled stablemate, Alpha Mike Foxtrot, breaking down inside the eighth pole and dumping rider Jozbin Santana. Alpha Mike Foxtrot, winner of the Maryland Juvenile Championship in late December, had to be euthanized. Santana was uninjured.
[ROAD TO THE KENTUCKY DERBY: Prep races, point standings, replays]
Dynamic Strike, ridden by Forrest Boyce, outfought stretch-out sprinter Where's Dominic inside the sixteenth pole to reach the wire first in 1:40.58. He won by a length. Lunar Rock finished third at 16-1, 4 1/4 lengths behind the runner-up. New York shipper Vegas No Show faded to fifth, beaten 8 1/2 lengths, as the 4-5 favorite.
A Pennsylvania-bred son of Smart Strike, Dynamic Strike ($7.80) has strung together three consecutive wins since trainer Dick Small stretched him out following a fifth-place finish sprinting in his career debut. Owned by Robert Meyerhoff's Fitzhugh LLC, Dynamic Strike is an early nominee to the Triple Crown series.
"The race set up good," said Boyce. "He's been going to the lead and this was our chance to find out if he could do it another way. He dug in against that other horse and he did it pretty well."
My condolences to Dick Small and his staff on the tragic loss of Alpha Mike Foxtrot.

Chapter 1 : Prologue.

Background: Font color:
"SIRIUS BLACK, GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!" My mothers voice called, trembling through the house. I reluctantly clambered off my bed and trudged down the creaky, musty stairs as slowly as I possibly could.
"SIRIUS!" My mother called again. I quickened my pace.
When I reached the hall, my mother was stood there, positively fuming.
"Sirius Black," She began, taking a deep breath, "I will not tolerate this anymore. At first it was just stupid little pranks, nothing we couldnt handle. But then you started coming home from school, 'Gryffindor' written all over your blood traitors face. You played your music loud, answered back, picked on your little brother. But this, no, I will not have this."
I looked at her, using my most innocent face.
"What have I done this time, mother?" I asked, empathising the last word. Although I knew what I had done.
"YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!" She exploded, "YOU PUT PERMANANT INK ALL OVER MY MOTHERS PORTRAIT, YOU CUT YOUR BROTHER'S HAIR IN HIS SLEEP AND TURNED IT PURPLE - AND WE STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO TURN IT BACK - YOU STOLE A THOUSAND GALLEONS FROM YOUR FATHER AND BOUGHT ANTONIA A MAGICAL DRUM KIT, AND YOU DESTROYED THE BLACK FAMILY LOCKET! YOU FOOL!"
I blinked.
"Do you dare deny what you have done?" My mother said, in a dangerous whisper. I noticed that my younger sister, Antonia, and my brother, Regulus, were watching from the top of the stairs.
"No, mother, I don't deny any of it. In fact, I'm proud of it." I said, calmly.
My mother shrieked.
"GET OUT!" She screamed.
"Excuse me?" I said.
I blinked. I heard Antonia gasp. After I had gotten over the shock, I nodded.
"Alright then, I will, and don't expect me to come back either!"
I turned around and marched back up the stairs. Regulus began walking towards me, an evil look on his face, but I pushed him out of the way and kept walking.
When I reached the top, I stopped. Antonia was stood there, staring up into my eyes. She was nine years old, God bless her - she didn't understand. Her face was already tear-stricken. I loved Antonia the most out of all my family.
"Sirius." She blubbered.
I picked her up and carried her to my bedroom, holding her close. I sat her down on my bed and she watched as I began packing my things.
"You're really going - aren't you?" She asked, in a trembling voice. I looked up. Her eyes were glistening. I turned my gaze away from her and nodded.
"Where are you going to go?" She asked. I shrugged, putting all my spell books in my trunk.
"James' I s'pose." I said. I glanced at Antonia. I could tell she was trying to be brave. She was wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"Hey," I said, sitting on the bed beside her, "Its alright, I'll write to you every day!"
She looked up.
"Promise." I said, wiping her cheeks dry with my sleeve.
Twenty minutes later, I closed the lid on my trunk and stood up. Antonia was sprawled out on my bed, sound asleep. I smiled weakly and kissed her forehead.
"I love you." I whispered.
I picked up my trunk and heaved it to the bedroom door.
Taking one last look at my little sister, I turned the knob and walked out.
Down the stairs.
And into the hall.
My mother was still stood there, with her hand on Regulus' shoulder. My father was stood by the kitchen door, a glass of beer in his hand. None of them spoke as I dragged my trunk across the hall and to the front door.
I opened the door and walked out, without looking back.
I was free.
Sorry it was so short, but Chapter One will be longer! :] I hope you are enjoying the story so far, and I also hope you decide to read the next chapters! x

The 950-acre area is at the western end of Sheep Mountain and is an important winter-feeding site for about 500 deer and 300 elk. The Wyoming Game & Fish Commission purchases this land to provide improved public access to the 20,000 acres of wild lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service on Sheep Mountain.
You will find more than deer and elk in this rough, rocky terrain. Mountain lions, bobcats and coyotes roam here. Clark�s nutcrackers, hairy woodpeckers, turkey vultures, pine siskins and goshawks are just a few of the bird species present.
Land owned by the Wyoming Game & Fish Commission and the U.S. Forest Service on Sheep Mountain provides excellent opportunities for hiking, wildlife watching and hunting. There is a foot trail to the top of Sheep Mountain, an improvement over alternate routes within the habitat area.

Not very well versed in buying a car and I have never
financed one before.
Just wondering if anyone has used e-loan before. Their
rates are substantially better than what my local bank
is offering.
Or quite possibly the dealership - though I won't know
until I get to that stage.
So, any comments on e-loan? Alternatives?

Re: slightly OT: E-loan? Anyone used it?
Yes, they're called 'inquiries' and the more you have, the worse you look.
I guess they feel you're desperate; and if you're desperate, you must have
had a lot of credit problems somewhere in your past, maybe further back than
the report goes. That's just a guess.

Hiya, I'm in ok shape credit wise (as far as FICO score is concerned) so that's
not an issue. I had heard the thing about too many credit cards too, so
I got rid of many I had a few years back, wasn't using them anyway.
As far as too many inquiries, yes you are right, that is not good for your
score. However, as I have learned recently (and I have done a lot of reading
about this in the last week or so)that if a bunch of inquires for instance
for auto loans or boat loans are made within a certain # of days (I forget
14 or 30) they will count as one. I read this on lendingtree.com somewhere.
Of course this assumes that this is true and the inquiries are coded correctly.
Here is a bit from the people who came up with the FICO/credit score.
Fallacy: My score will drop if I apply for new credit.
Fact: If it does, it probably won't drop much. If you apply for several credit
cards within a short period of time, multiple requests for your credit report
information (called "inquiries") will appear on your report. Looking for new
credit can equate with higher risk, but most credit scores are not affected by
multiple inquiries from auto or mortgage lenders within a short period of time.
Typically, these are treated as a single inquiry and will have little impact on
the credit score.

Orange stays unbeaten with easy win
It was all Orange all night in a 56-0 homecoming win over winless Northern Vance on Friday.
Orange kicker Brad Barbee, who kicked eight extra points, sure got a good workout.
"I would go to the sideline and almost immediately be back on the field to kick again," Barbee said. "Very thankful for my offense, how much work they've been putting in. Really good team this year."
Really good as in undefeated both overall and in their two Big Eight games. Orange (6-0, 2-0) has been imposing its will on teams and doing so without a whole bunch of bravado. The Panthers keep it classy.
"We try to get them to play under control. Football is a violent game played by young men that are under control," Orange coach Pat Moser said. "Sometimes our kids can get their dander up, I guess you could say."
Orange scored in all three phases of the game, including an exchange in the second quarter when Brandon Vanhook literally snatched the ball out of the hands of a Northern Vance ball carrier and kept running with it 26 yards into the end zone.
Northern Vance (0-6, 0-2) couldn't get much of anything going offensively and punted a lot, most of those balls landing awkwardly and bouncing around the field.
Orange free safety J.D. Brooks finally got his hands on one of those Vikings punts and followed a wall of blockers to the end zone.
There never was any question about this one. Orange had a 35-0 shutout going at halftime. The Panthers went to their locker room to rest a little bit, and their fans continued celebrating 50 years of Orange football, jamming to the "Cha-Cha Slide" coming through the loudspeakers.
