THE WOODLANDS, Texas, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXRX) announced today that an independent, non-profit organization will provide funding to support the Phase 2 development of LX4211 in type 1 diabetes.
LX4211, a dual inhibitor of sodium glucose transporter 1 and 2 (SGLT1 and SGLT2), was designed to improve control of blood glucose through mechanisms that do not require the pancreas to produce insulin. In type 1 diabetes, also called juvenile diabetes, the pancreas stops producing enough insulin to support life. People with type 1 diabetes must monitor their blood sugar levels through frequent measures of blood glucose in order to select and administer doses of insulin via shots or an insulin pump, multiple times every day. With current insulin therapies, even vigilant management of blood sugar does not eliminate the risk of type 1 diabetes complications such as heart attack, stroke, blindness, and kidney failure.
"Results we have obtained to date with LX4211 encourage us to expand its potential application to both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, a unique opportunity for an oral therapy," said Arthur T. Sands, M.D., Ph.D., Lexicon's president and chief executive officer. "In this new trial, we hope to see significant reductions in the amount of insulin required by type 1 patients as well as more consistent blood sugar control."
LX4211 has already demonstrated beneficial effects on glucose control in clinical trials conducted to date in type 2 diabetes, or adult-onset diabetes. Studies have shown that LX4211 lowers blood sugar levels after meals, reducing glucose absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and triggering the production of beneficial hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that help regulate blood glucose levels. In addition, LX4211 enhances excretion of glucose in the urine, which may also help to reduce the need for insulin, without causing low blood sugar or hypoglycemia. Lexicon expects to have results from an ongoing Phase 2b trial in type 2 diabetes by mid-year 2012.
About the Clinical Trial in Type 1 Diabetes
The initial Phase 2 proof-of-concept study will be a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in approximately 25 adult patients with type 1 diabetes who will receive LX4211 over a one month treatment period. The primary endpoint of the study will be reduction of insulin required with LX4211 as compared to placebo. Secondary endpoints will include multiple measures of blood sugar to show that LX4211 helps to maintain glycemic control during the treatment period. Under the agreement, additional funding could support future Phase 2 trials of LX4211 in type 1 diabetes.
About Type 1 Diabetes
An estimated 1.3 million people in the U.S. have type 1 diabetes, a chronic disease usually caused by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. The resulting decrease in insulin leads to high levels of glucose in the blood, which in turn can lead to acute metabolic complications as well as chronic problems with eyes, kidneys, nervous system and heart. If not properly controlled with insulin therapy, type 1 diabetes can be fatal. Patients with type 1 diabetes are at least 10 times more at risk for cardiovascular disease compared to people without diabetes. The rate of type 1 diabetes incidence among children under the age of 14 is estimated to increase by 3% annually worldwide.

Under the guidance of two expert tutors, your team is introduced to violins and violas, and taught to play a unique composition we commissioned specifically for this team building program. Even if your team has no familiarity with musical instruments, at the end of an hour they will come together (with the help of a backing track) to make beautiful music. Guaranteed!
Where did we come up with this idea?
We launched our first ground-breaking classical music team building activity, called 'Orchestrate,' back in 2006. Since then many blue chip clients have risen to the challenge. It's been an amazing success for us worldwide and is always a client favorite.
As the years passed, we recognised that there are many clients who want to experience a classical music activity, but who didn't have the time and budget to include Orchestrate in their schedule. For that reason, we developed Crescendo. Crescendo presents a budget-friendly alternative that can easily be slotted into a busy conference schedule. And it all takes place in a single room, so there's no need to deal with breakout areas.Catalyst Global Director Mark Davenport explains how Crescendo came to be
Catalyst now offer two incredible classical music team building events with quality instruments and guaranteed results. Click below to find out more about these delightful and unique team building activities:Crescendo Orchestrate!

How can $2-3 trillion of additional investment per year be unlocked out of a global GDP of approximately $ 115 trillion? This is what is required to acheive the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and central to the Better Business, Better World report, released by the Business & Sustainable Development Commission.
Hendrik du Toit has joined over 20 leading global CEOs in spearheading a new approach to improving the way businesses report. This encourages firms to clearly demonstrate their contribution to sustainable long-term value creation for society.
In January 2016 our CEO, Hendrik du Toit, joined a select group of international business, labour and civil society leaders as a member of a new global commission created to highlight the extensive rewards to businesses which take a fundamental role in poverty reduction and sustainable development.

Alida Vracic is the director and founder of the Sarajevo think tank Populari, a small research institute examining political, economic and social trends in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Alida studied law in Sarajevo, worked at the Human Rights Commission at the Bosnian Constitutional Court and for the Department of War Crimes at the BiH State Court. She describes this work as a formative experience:
"The War Crimes Chamber changed me. I have been involved in cases which I wasn't aware of as a child in Sarajevo. I was 14 at the time war broke out in Bosnia, and to me at that time it seemed as if Bosnia was a huge country. While other atrocities were happening elsewhere I was in Sarajevo under the siege.
Covering Northern Bosnia at the war crimes chamber, I woke up again, I've started living other peoples' war stories; concentration camps, rapes, killings. All of a sudden, being under the siege in Sarajevo from 1992-1995 seemed a minor thing."
In Alida's early childhood, during the time of Socialism, national identity did not seem to be important. "Brotherhood and unity" was President Tito's slogan. Alida remembers how in early 1992, just as the war was about to break out, she learnt about ethnicity:
"…it was just another ordinary day at school in Sarajevo, when a friend of mine, Ognjen, said he was Serb. The pride he said that with perplexed me, so as soon as I was at home I phoned my father at his work. I said: 'Dad, listen… today at school, Ognjen said he is Serb. Am I Serb too?' Dad said: 'Well, no, where did you get that from, you are…ermm…well, you are from Sarajevo, so you are Sarajka!' Right, OK, that makes sense – I thought. And it did, more than I knew at the time."
Soon, Alida started to comprehend the meaning of being from a mixed marriage in terms of identity and nationality. Alida's father is a Bosnian Catholic of Croatian, German and Austrian origin, and her mother is a Bosnian Muslim of Turkish origin. She belongs to the Daut family which originally came from Istanbul.
Alida likes to say that she has always remained nothing but a Sarajka; an identity that was shaped in the years she spent as a teenager under the Sarajevo siege, zig-zagging on Sarajevo streets, dodging snipers, collecting water and surviving the siege with other Sarajevans.
As a student Alida worked in a bookstore in Sarajevo, accepting books instead of pay. After her experience at the Constitutional Court, she left Bosnia – like many – to study international public policy at University College London. But in 2007 she came back and set up her new think tank "Populari".

Morales rejects Mariners' qualifying offer
Slugger becomes free agent; Seattle interested in retaining him on longer deal
SEATTLE -- Designated hitter Kendrys Morales rejected the Mariners' qualifying offer on Monday and is now a free agent.
Morales, 30, was one of 13 players to receive a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer last week. All 13 players had until Monday's 2 p.m. PT deadline to accept, and all 13 declined.
A qualifying offer is the equal of the average salary of the 125 top-paid players in the Majors last season and would bind the player to his current team for one season.
Last year, nine players were extended qualifying offers, and all turned them down, as well. Three of those players -- David Ortiz of the Red Sox, Adam LaRoche of the Nationals and Hiroki Kuroda of the Yankees -- wound up re-signing with their original teams. The other six eventually took longer-term deals with new teams.
Rejecting the qualifying offer didn't necessarily earn those players a higher annual salary on the free-agent market. The qualifying offer in 2013 was $13.3 million and five of the nine players who rejected it wound up accepting a lower average annual salary, but for more years.
Rafael Soriano signed with the Nationals for two years at $28 million, LaRoche re-upped with the Nats for two years, $24 million; Ortiz returned to the Red Sox for two years at $26 million, Kyle Lohse took three years and $33 million from the Brewers and Michael Bourn agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal with the Indians.
Kuroda was the only one of the nine last year who took a one-year deal, as he re-signed with the Yankees for $15 million. The three biggest winners were Josh Hamilton to the Angels for five years at $133 million, Justin Upton to the Braves at five years, $75 million, and Nick Swisher to the Indians for four years at $56 million.
The Mariners are interested in pursuing a longer deal with Morales, who led the club in batting average (.277), hits (167), doubles (34), RBIs (80) and extra-base hits (57) in his first season in Seattle after being obtained in a trade with the Angels for Jason Vargas.
Morales hit 23 home runs and tied for fourth in the American League with 15 game-winning RBIs. He hit .312 (44-for-141) with runners in scoring position, providing a needed clutch bat in the middle of Seattle's young order.
That bat will make Morales attractive to some other teams, as well, but he is limited defensively, as Seattle started him just 31 times at first base and 121 times at designated hitter in 2013. The Cuba native missed all of 2011 after shattering his ankle in a home-plate celebration following a walk-off home run against the Mariners in 2010, but he played 134 games with the Angels in 2012 and 156 with Seattle last season.
By making the qualifying bid, the Mariners are assured of receiving a compensatory pick at the end of the first round of June's First-Year Player Draft should Morales sign with another team.
Seattle currently would receive the 32nd overall pick if Morales signs elsewhere, though they would move up or down if teams ahead of them forfeit their own first-round selections by signing players who have turned down qualifying offers or if they sign one of those players themselves.
The Mariners are free to sign any of the other players who rejected qualifying offers without losing their own first-round pick (sixth overall) because teams with a top-10 Draft pick are protected. Instead, Seattle would lose its next available pick, which currently is the sixth selection in the second round, but would be higher if they receive a compensatory pick for Morales.

The Particulars
The Harvard Crimson baseball team takes to the road this weekend for a four-game series at Brown in the first Red Rolfe intra-division games of the season. The teams will play doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday.
Last Year's Series
The teams split last year's series in Cambridge, Mass. with Brown taking the first two games by score of 10-3 and 7-1 before Harvard stormed back for Sunday wins of 6-2 and 9-0.
Sam Franklin posted a .429 batting average with eight runs batted in last year while Tyler Albright hit .400 in the series.
Josh Feit batted .33 with three RBI in the series to lead Brown's returning players.
About Harvard
Harvard enters the weekend in need of some wins as the Crimson sits 5.0 games behind division-leading Dartmouth (6-2). The Crimson has been playing better, especially on offense where Jeff Reynolds is hitting .455 over his past five games, Jake McGuiggan sports a .412 mark (4 doubles) and Danny Moskovits is hitting .333 with an on-base-percentage of .571 in the same span.
Overall, Reynolds leads the team with a .337 batting average while Marcus Way leads in the power department with 12 extra base hits, including five homers, and 17 runs batted in.
Dillon O'Neill and Sam Franklin pace the team with 11 and 10 stolen bases, respectively.
On the mound, Max Perlman (1.91 ERA) has struck out 35 batters in 37.2 innings. He and lefty Eric Eadington, who has 36 strikeouts in 33.1 innings, have each only allowed eight extra base hits this season.
Brent Suter (24 K's, 21.0 IP) had a solid midweek outing on Tuesday against Northeastern with five whiffs in 3.0 innings and will likely throw on Sunday while a fourth starter has not yet been named.
About Brown
The Bears enter play at 4-4 in the Ivy League and 6-18 overall although the team does feature a 7-3 win over Texas on March 12. The Bears have also been playing better as of late and have won three of their last four with a sweep of Columbia last weekend and a split with Penn.
The team has a Thursday game against Connecticut in Storrs, Conn.
Mike DiBiase leads the team with a .338 batting average while John Sheridan (.278) has stolen 10 of 11 base attempts this year. Seven different players have homered but none more than twice and Matt Colantonio (.266) leads the team with seven extra base hits. Pete Greskoff leads with 13 RBI although he is only hitting .185.
On the mound, Matthew Kimball (1-3, 4.09) has thrown two complete games. Number two starter Kevin Carlow (0-5, 6.38) has been touched for 39 hits and 12 walks in 24.0 innings. Carlow earned a win over Harvard last year with a complete game in which he struck out five while allowing five hits and walking four batters. Mark Gormley (0-1, 11.74) is the only other pitcher to start more than three games (4) but has only thrown 7.2 innings in which he has walked 10 batters.
In the bullpen, Josh Feit (1-0, 4.00), also a positional player, leads in appearances (8) while Andrew Bakowski (1-1, 6.10) is the team's best strikeout option with 12 whiffs in 10.1 innings.

Harry Parker Post-Race Comments
NEW LONDON, Conn. – The Eastern-champion Crimson heavyweight varsity, second varsity and freshman eights completed their perfect dual seasons with a sweep of the rival Bulldogs in the 146th Harvard-Yale Regatta, America's oldest intercollegiate sporting event, Saturday afternoon on the Thames River.
It is the fourth straight sweep for the Crimson (7-0), as the Harvard seniors graduate unbeaten in the annual competition. With the 13.7-second victory, the Harvard varsity eight has now captured 11 H-Y wins in the past 12 years. The win also gave head coach Harry Parker his 21st unbeaten dual season and increased Harvard's series lead to 92-54. Earlier, the freshman eight won by 21 seconds and the second varsity won by 30 to set a new three-mile course record.
"I thought the guys all raced really well," said Parker, the Thomas Bolles Head Coach for Harvard Men's Crew. "All three of the crews rowed very solid races, and I thought Yale made a very good fight out of it."
The freshman eights were the first to take to the water in very challenging conditions caused by a strong tailwind. Both squads got off to good, aggressive starts but the Crimson began to pull away and led by two seconds at the half-mile mark.
The margin grew from there. Harvard led by two lengths of open water halfway through the two-mile race and by 14 seconds after another half-mile. The Crimson challenged the course record before settling for a winning time of 9:03.2, while Yale reached the finish in 9:24.2.
The water had calmed significantly by the time the second varsity eights squared off. The Crimson took a slight edge off the start line and led by a boat deck through a half-mile. Harvard rowed at a low, steady stroke rate throughout the race and inched out to a boat-length lead a mile into the race.
The Crimson led by five seconds halfway through the race, doubled that margin over the next half-mile and doubled it again over the next half to lead by more than 20 seconds with a half-mile to go. Harvard made it to the line in 13:38, eclipsing the record of 13:46.1 set by the 2004 Crimson second varsity. Yale finished in 14:08.
The sun came out in time for the varsity race with conditions much improved from the start of racing. Harvard led by a couple seats after a half-mile and by nearly a length following a full mile. Yale (3-4) kept contact and trailed by three seconds through 1.5 miles, but the Crimson soon gained open water and led by six seconds with half the course gone.
Harvard never allowed Yale back in the race. The Crimson advantage reached 10 seconds through three miles and 14 seconds through 3.5. The Crimson finished its perfect dual season with a time of 19:05.7 to Yale's 19:19.1.
Harvard also took the combination race Friday, posting a time of 9:28.6 to Yale's 9:40.5.
The Crimson now turns its attention to the IRA National Championships June 2-4 in Camden, N.J.

The Dynamo secured a 1-0 win over the Montreal Impact on Saturday at BBVA Compass Stadium. Below are some milestones and notes from the victory:
Will Bruin scored the winning goal in the 40th minute for his third goal of the new season after scoring twice in the season opener on March 8.Bruin leads Major League Soccer with three goals.
Bruin is the second player in Dynamo history to score in each of the first two games of the regular season. Brian Ching was the first, scoring four goals in the inaugural match in 2006 before scoring again in Houston's second game. (Note courtesy of the Elias Sports Bureau.)
Following Houston's upcoming off weekend, Bruin will have the chance to become the first Dynamo player to score in the first three games of a season when the club meets Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place on March 29.
The Dynamo can also complete their first 3-0 start to a season with a win at Vancouver next weekend. Houston has never started a season 3-0, with 2-1-0 starts in 2012 and 2013 for its previous best opening to a season.
Saturday was Brad Davis' 200th regular season start with the Dynamo, the most in franchise history. It was also Davis' 315th career MLS regular season game. He is tied with Carey Talley for 17th on the MLS all-time games list.
It was Ricardo Clark's 185th career game in all competitions with the Dynamo to pass Brian Mullan for fifth on the club list.
It was Corey Ashe's 137th career regular season start to pass Pat Onstad for third on the club list.
Tally Hall made four saves to record his 30th career regular season shutout. It was Hall's 140th career start in all competitions with Houston to pass Wade Barrett for eighth on the club list.
It was Bruin's 89th career regular season game to pass Stuart Holden and Richard Mulrooney for 13th on the franchise list.
Houston midfielders Servando Carrasco and Brian Ownby entered in the second half for their 2014 debuts.

Malnutrition treatment center opens in Zaranj hospital
Malnutrition treatment center opens in Zaranj hospital
ZARANJ (Pajhwok): A malnutrition treatment center (MTC) has been established at the civil hospital in Zaranj, the capital of southwestern Nimroz province, home to more malnourished children than other provinces.
Dr. Khusraw Yousafzai, the provincial public health director, said statistics compiled by a non-government organization showed malnourished children were in highest number in Nimroz.
He said about 13.9 percent children in Nimroz were underweight and the highest number could be blamed on misappropriation of foods meant for malnourished children in the past.
Dr. Yousafzai said the newly-established malnutrition treatment section building at the hospital cost 1,200,000 afghanis funded by a national trader and people.
Nimroz governor Mohammad Sami said malnutrition treatment section was equipped with all facilities in order to reduce the number of malnourished children.
He appreciated the national businessman and people's cooperation in development programs and praised their participation in implementation of such projects.
Dr. Fatah Shah Emamzai, head of the Zaranj Hospital, said that the malnutrition treatment section had been previously operating in a ruined room without any medical equipment, but the new centre had many facilities for patients and doctors.

Creating Silhouettes in Pictures
One of the photographs featured in Through the Lens in the March 2009 issue was a silhouette of our very own contributing editor Jessica Sprague in Central Park. I receive a lot of questions about how to create silhouettes, so I thought we'd talk a bit more about them this month!
What do you need to make a subject silhouetted?
It's simple, really, and you can do it with any camera—point and shoot or SLR. All you need is a subject that's backlit. What do I mean by that? Your light source should be coming from behind the subject toward the camera. The best times to get this look are sunrise and sunset. The sun will be coming from the side of the horizon instead of above it, so you are able to place your subject in front of the sun.
To create this look during the middle of the day, have the subject stand in shade, under a building or in front of a window. In this photograph, I had Jessica stand under an archway. As you can see, all the bright light is behind her.
How does the technique work?
You don't actually need to change any settings on your camera. You can make a silhouette just by shooting on auto in backlit situations. This is because your camera meters overall (whatever is in the viewfinder) and then comes up with an exposure. Because there is so much light behind the subject, your camera will expose for the bright light and the subject will appear dark. The trick is to make sure you focus on the subject even though she appears dark; otherwise, the silhouette will be blurry and the image won't look as good.
That's it. Creating a silhouette is fun, simple to do and gives you a great, dramatic look. Try it yourself!

Fortunately, I haven't found anyone in my tree named Sandy.
However, my great grandmother (Mary Alice Schneider), 2nd great grandmother (Mary Alice Egan), and 3rd great grandmother (Mary Alice McDonnall) all loaned their middle names to hurricane Alice. First in 1954 and then again in 1955 (although the first one in 1955 turned out to be the last one in 1954 and would have been named Irene if it had been realized sooner). And yes, these Mary Alices are mothers and daughters. Lucky me.
Another great grandmother, Anna Christine Huber loaned her name to several hurricanes. Anna in 1956, 1961, and 1965 (she was only a tropical storm in 1969 and 1976, and the spelling was changed in 1979 to "Ana"). There was also a tropical storm Christine in 1973, but it never reached hurricane status.
My third great grandfather, Gustav Eugene Stiker, gave his name to several hurricanes as well, but his were more recent: 1990, 2002, and 2008. He was the only major hurricane to form during the 1990 season, and the first hurricane of the season in 2002.
I could hardly leave out hurricanes Joan (my mom) and Jeanne (her twin sister). Joan caused "death and destruction over a dozen countries in the Caribbean and Central America" in 1988. The name has been retired, thankfully. Jeanne was a moderate hurricane in 1980, but never made landfall. She peaked as a category 2 hurricane in 1998, and again in 2004 as a category 3.
And last but not least - hurricane Jenny. Oh yes, there I was in 1961, but barely became a hurricane before being weakened by cold weather, and I tried again in 1969, but never reached hurricane status.
Of course, there are also collateral relatives whose names were used: Bertha, Charley, Hattie, and Josephine.
All told, my ancestors' namesakes caused over 3,400 fatalities and over $15 billion (yes, that's with a B) in damage. Who did the most damage? That would be my Aunt Jeanne with 3,035 deaths and $7 billion in damage. Runner up for fatalities: Joan with 216-334 deaths; runner up for damage: Gustav at $6.61 billion.
So, despite what my mother may have said when I was little, hurricane Jenny didn't hold a candle to her and her sister!
Do we share any ancestors?

A pair of leading Democratic lawmakers are pushing back on a bill staunchly supported by Gov. John Hickenlooper to repurpose part of an old, rural prison campus as a residential facility for the state's homeless.
Sen. Pat Steadman of Denver and Rep. Claire Levy of Boulder question both the cost and whether the initiative isn't more about finding a purpose for the Fort Lyon prison shuttered at Hickenlooper's request than it is about helping resolve homelessness.
"There's some real concerns about the conditions and maintenance of the facility," said Steadman, the chairman of the Joint Budget Committee. "It's an old facility that's going to have ongoing costs for years to come."
Asbestos has been found in the buildings and on the grounds.
Steadman is opposed to the bill, which easily passed the House on Monday. It now goes to the Senate, where it could face a tougher battle.
Facing a budget shortfall two years ago of more than $1 billion, Hickenlooper closed the prison to save the state cash — a move that killed about 200 jobs in Bent County, where poverty rates were hovering near 35 percent.
Since then, his administration has held dozens of meetings with Bent County commissioners and traveled to the nation's capital to try to figure out what to do with the facility and how to help southeastern Colorado.
Late last year, Hickenlooper's office asked the Joint Budget Committee to reserve about $6 million over the next two years to repurpose the sprawling campus to serve the homeless.
But after committee members toured the facility Jan. 21, they rebuffed Hickenlooper's request and later voted unanimously against allotting funds in the state budget to the facility.
Levy, who sits on the Joint Budget Committee, called the bill a "good-faith effort" during discussion on the House floor Monday, but she also offered up criticism.
"It's a bit of the tail wagging the dog," said Levy, who voted against the measure. "So we're saying that there's a homeless problem, there's an unused facility problem. … Let's round up homeless people primarily from the Denver metropolitan area and let's bus them down to Las Animas, and voil…, we've solved two problems."
Levy said she hopes to look at the best ways to serve the chronically homeless and separate that issue from one of an underused facility in rural Colorado.
House Bill 1261 — co-sponsored by more than a dozen Democrats and Republicans — also would provide the homeless with substance-abuse supportive services, medical care and job training.
According to the bill's fiscal note, the state this year would need about $2.8 million to pay for things such as maintenance and utilities.
The cost to run the facility and treat clients would increase to about $4 million annually, said Rep. Leroy Garcia, D-Pueblo, the prime co-sponsor of the measure. The number of clients would increase to about 200 by July 2014 and about 300 by the following July.
"This is a beautiful campus in a great part of the state," Garcia said, noting passage of the measure would initially create about 60 jobs. "A number of veterans come back with post-traumatic stress disorders and can't find work, become homeless, and this rural community would be beneficial to help them transition and get back on their feet."
The measure would empower Colorado Coalition for the Homeless to administer the program. Participation would be voluntary and not limited to veterans — although language tied specifically toward aiding homeless veterans is absent from the legislation.
The state would bus the individuals in from urban and rural parts of Colorado.
Roxane White, Hickenlooper's chief of staff, said she hopes the program can be an anchor for the 500-acre facility, which the state received from the federal government in 2002.
"This is about helping veterans, the homeless and rural Colorado," White said.
But some Republicans believe Hickenlooper, a Democrat, is more interested in helping his image.
"I find it interesting that the governor is pushing to support rural Colorado after a year of just crapping on rural Colorado with gun bills," said Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray.
"If he thinks being a champion for Fort Lyon is going to recover his negative impact on rural Colorado, he's in for another thinking."
Hickenlooper has remained committed to finding a new purpose for Fort Lyon since the facility's closing and prior to the mass shootings in Aurora and Newtown, Conn., that led to the gun debate.
Several state senators, from both sides of the aisle, have said recently that they're unsure whether they will support the bill. And with assistance from Hickenlooper's office, some could make a last-minute trip to tour the facility before the Senate casts its votes.
"I'm not sure we're making Fort Lyon a sustainable facility by just repurposing it," said Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City. "If we're giving money to a facility that we know has structural deficiencies, it just doesn't make fiscal sense."

North Carolina State women's basketball fans know the name Kay Yow. As the team's coach, she achieved more than 700 wins over her 34-year career, became a Hall of Fame inductee, and coached the 1988 women's Olympic team to their gold medal win. In 2009, Yow passed away from breast cancer after battling the disease for two-plus decades. To residents of the Tar Heel state, Yow is a true legend whose story MaryEllen Williams wanted to tell:
Living here in Raleigh, NC, everyone knew the name Kay Yow but what made me want to know more about her was the fact that she was said to be a very special person, someone who was at a higher spiritual level than most of us. As I looked into her more I realized she was known worldwide. I wanted to find out her roots and what made her stand out among the best.
Before she could write Kay's story, which would ultimately be released as her nonfiction book Triumph, MaryEllen spent a considerable amount of time doing research. She watched videos online, read all the newspaper articles she could get her hands
Once she completed her manuscript, MaryEllen decided to skip traditional publishing altogether and go independent for one reason alone: timing. When told it could take years to get an agent and a book contract, she turned to Lulu, which ended up being, "the best thing I ever did because they have bent over
Now Triumph: Inspired by the true life story of legendary Coach Kay Yow can be purchased through Lulu.com as well as both Amazon and Barnes & Noble's websites.
TRIUMPH By MaryEllen Williams
TRIUMPH is an inspiring true-life story of a girl from a small town who became a
To promote Triumph, MaryEllen hired a publicity firm to do a six-week PR campaign. But MaryEllen isn't only relying on them; she knows that an author must also be her own biggest advocate and so she's been hitting the pavement in her hometown of Raleigh. Recently, Quail Ridge Book Store and
Next up for MaryEllen is a screenplay of Kay's story, which she's been dreaming about even before she started the book. It's been an incredible journey she admits — and she's learned quite a few things along the way.
My tips to any author are to work hard, ask anything and everything about your subject. Persevere and never give up. Every hurdle you meet can be overcome. Believe in yourself and your project. You are, as I said, your biggest advocate. Get excited. It's contagious.

Yay, it's a printable paper doll.
I promised myself I wouldn't spend this post whining about everything i have been trying to get done or making excuses. I had this last week off for spring break and I did get some stuff done, so I can't be all unhappy about it. I don't seem to be getting as much done I had hoped, but perhaps I have less then realistic expectations of myself.
{Click Here for a PDF to Print} {Click Here for a PNG to Print} {Click Here for the rest of this series}
Today's Marisole recycles a few things I've done before such as the shoes and the sewing machine. I really wanted to have a sewing machine for the paper Marisoles as well as the magnetic ones and I am just pleased that it came out well. The grey shoes are recolored from the set I drew for my Mother's quilting retreat and the other shoes were drawn at the same time, but not used because she thought the heels were too high. I personally think high heels are fun.
I can't decide how I feel about the patterned shirts in this set. I like them, but I'm not sure how much I like them… I was trying to do more patterns, but I'm not sure I should have. I really don't like the black background that seems to happen when my pictures open in a new window… is it just me or do other people see it too? And does it annoy you all as much as it annoys me?

It was 10 years ago that TWA shut the doors of the TWA Flight Center and 10 years since I've been here. Having returned to this iconic structure and with one footstep inside I traveled back to an age of air travel that will never exist again and to a place frozen in time.

Meaning can take one of three forms: words, glances, and winks. Meaning usually conveys the meaning of something, unless that something HAS no meaning, in which case it's just a big ol' mess of letters. For example:
That word won't win you any points in Scrabble, unless you're very handy with a Russian dictionary and are ignoring the rules of Scrabble (I'm guilty of that, by the way). "Meaning" is the main way in which Scrabble points are awarded, and before Scrabble "meaning" had no definition. 90% of the words in a dictionary were, in fact, fictional and useless. Life in and of itself, is a mean game, full of meaning. Because this article has lots of meaning, don't expect it to make much sense... expect it to have LOTS OF
The Definition of Meaning...
Meaning (
Müh•Nø•Ûng) V.: When someone is mean to you, or is otherwise engaged in mean behavior of the mean type.
Example: In Scrabble, Johnny was meaning when he put down "Zoology" for 580 points. God dammit, I hate you Scrabble! WHY??! WWWHHYYY!! FUCK YOU SCRABBLE!!!
The Second Definition...
Meaning (
Møh•Nü•Ûng) N.: When someone, through words, indicates the... uh, thing that the thing represents... that they... were talking about just now. Did I just write that? Ehh, you know what I mean.
Example: In Scrabble, I was meaning to put down "Zoology" but that damn Johnny beat me to it. I had all the letters, guys, look! Just look at em, I just needed a Z, G, L, and 3 O's and I woulda done it! I was meaning to, okay? Guys, give me half of Johnny's points and we'll call it even.
The Third Definition...
Meaning (
Mø•Nü•Íng) N.: When something is trying to explain something much larger than itself, such as death or life.
Example: When I went to see the guru at the top of the mountain, all he could do was wave his right hand and say, "The way to greatness is not through the wheat... but through the pasture." That slight gesture and those 8 words had so much meaning that I couldn't control myself. After I soiled my pants with feces of enlightenment, the medicine man waved his other hand and said, "The way to meaning is not through the heart... but through the corpuscles." This second meaningful meaning of meaning meant so much to me that I couldn't control myself, and my heart imploded under the significance of the meaning, which, in itself, had so much meaning that the medicine man was obliged to wave both of his hands, clap, rub his nipples, and say, "The way to understanding and meaning is through the mind... not through the toes. Beware the flowers, for although they look pretty, they will just make you gay. Do not stop for the two-legged badger, for he will lead you in CIRCLES." And even though the medicine man knew the meaning of everything... including meaning, he still could not beat Johnny at Scrabble!! FUCK YOU SCRABBLE, YOU'RE SUCH AN ASSHOLE!!!!
The Fourth Definition...
Meaning (
Mü•Nπ•Íng) Adj.: The meaning of something that is subliminal, and just out of reach, or when something is blinked rapidly at you without your awareness.
Example: If some diligent reader would extract every 17th letter in this article, they would find that this is actually a treatise on SMOKING CRACK AND WORSHIPPING SATAN. However, if one extracted every 18th letter, one would find a delicious recipe for smoked Salmon almondene. This article has a liberal, conservative, and moderate bias and would be considered offensive to every single person on the planet if they only knew. Every single picture on this page contains a subtle racist message implying that all Native Americans are medicine men. The constitution of the United States, if read backwards, extols the virtues of worshipping the ancient demon-god Bhaal and EATING BABIES. The "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series is actually a nightmare of blood and horror if one reads the book backwards and skips every 9th letter. In the game of Scrabble, if one actually took the time to
unscrabble unscramble the tiles, one would find that Scrabble is actually a huge anagram for groping waitresses at dirty restaurants. That's how sick they are. Johnny makes me fuckin' SICK. Everyone makes me sick, especially you, "dear reader"... you ASS.
The Fifth Definition...
Meaning (
Mø•Nü•Íng) N.: A thing that happens at murder mystery dinner parties and ancient temples of the "Far East". This definition of meaning is the most meaningful, and is the most used definition. It includes at least one of the following meaningful body movements:
Winks: Winks are probably the most meaningful of ALL body movements. According to the scientists at MIT, Winks contain at least 6 levels of meaning depending on where they are used and how many people are involved. In Scrabble, winking doesn't carry many points, even though you had all the fucking letters!!!
- For example, if there are 3 people involved in winking in the parlor and two of them are women, the first three levels of meaning are obvious. The first level is sarcasm, indicating that the first woman is winking just to be sarcastic on what was previously said. The second level is a comment on all of English society and indicates that winks, in themselves, are part of English society. The third level is a comment on the other two winks, and is a reflection on the whole conversation. The fourth level indicates that the winking has gotten out of hand. The fifth level is ironic and is used to comment on the first two levels, meaning that winking is, of course, part of upper-class English society, but also that they don't care. The sixth level is there to confuse the other two "winkers" as they are professionally known and to score points with the judges. The seventh level is a comment on the sixth level, and is also ironic and sarcastic at the same time.
Nods: Without a doubt, nods are the most meaningful of ALL body movements. Some nods in the Far-East have been known to contain 66 levels of meaning.
- Nods in the Far-East, especially at Ninja Academies, where nodding is the norm, are usually so full of meaning that white-belts and foreigners will have to be led out of the building after being stunned. One of the most famous examples of nods was performed at the Temple of St. DuJitsu in the Himalayas by the ancient master Tim. From one nod to his assistant, Tim conveyed the message that, not only was he leaving the temple, but also that the assistant was to take over, that the lawn needed to be mowed, that he sensed trouble on the horizon, and the current temperature and windspeed among many many other things too deep and meaningful to be mentioned, including the fact that Tim's mother was sick and needed to be taken to the hospital.
Glances: Glances are by far the most meaningful of ALL body movements. A simple glance consists of 6 body movements, and can convey 666 levels of meaning if used properly.
- One of the most meaningful glances ever conceived was by Lady Smorfington in 1889. Her one glance, now considered a Mega-Glance, proved too powerful for the other members of the Scrabble tournament. This mega-glance consisted of 66 eye movements, 66 facial expressions, and 66 deep and meaningful eye-slash-face interactions. It was, according to Lord Snugglebottom, "The most incredible glance I have thus far received, and I have received glances across the world." The glance was, reportedly, caused after Johnny put down the word "Zoology" and caused an uproar. Lady Smorfington knew the significance of the event, and in one glance not only disrupted the game, but disrupted the evening as well. Her face was, to quote Lord Snugglebottom, "A flurry of meaningful winks, nods, blinks, snorts, lip curls, eye brow raises, and frowns, each with, at my count, at least 6 levels of meaning." The glance itself lasted 40 minutes and conveyed the entire range of human emotion plus four emotions known only to rattlesnakes and one known only to bald eagles. The glance was so intense that Lady Smorfington's face could no longer convey the emotion of jealousy afterwards. Johnny, who was sitting across the table, was so mesmerized by all the levels of meaning that he could no longer enjoy his bourbon. Johnny still won the game though, much to the chagrined winks and nods of the other guests. FUCK YOU SCRABBLE! FUCK YOUUUU!!!
Nudges: Nudges can be used by even the noobiest of noobs to convey the stupidest of meanings. Compared with winks and nods, nudges are just plain retarded. They're retarded, okay? If winking is the filet mignon of meaning, then nudging is spam. If nodding is the king of meaning, then nudging is the chamberpot scrubber. If meaning means anything, then don't read too much into nudging. Nudging is stupid, and you should only attempt it if you don't have the energy to wink.
Nipple Rubbing: Before meaning, nipple rubbing was used by cavemen to signal to their mates that it was humping time, or, as modern man would have it, "teH SEXXORZ". Nipple rubbing in the modern era is used to convey something not as harsh as SexXXorz, yet not as subtle as French kissing.
Mustache Twirling: Mustache Twirling can only have one meaning, that the person who committed the twirling is hatching a plot. At it's height, it was used 25 times per hour in the 1920's by people wearing top hats.
Now that you know what meaning is, you can confuse and bewilder your enemies into submission. Be careful that you don't read too little into this article. Every sentence in this article, for your information, has three levels of meaning, just so that you really "get it". If you're playing Scrabble, the most asshole game of all time, be sure to have this article near you and challenge the
