Newbery Medal winner Clare Vanderpool returns with a coming-of-age tale sprinkled with magic and adventure in Navigating Early, set at the end of World War II. Jack Baker's mother has suddenly died, and his military dad uproots him from Kansas to an all-boys boarding school in Maine. While feeling like a fish out of the very water so prevalent on this campus, Jack does befriend Early Auden, an unusual boy who seems to have his run of the school. Early is an orphan whose brother was a superstar at the school but whom everyone (except Early) believes to have died in the war.
As the two get to know one another, it is clear that while Early may be quirky, even obsessive; he definitely has a gift for numbers. He sees colors in numbers and fashions a story about the number Pi. Early shares his story of Pi with Jack, and Jack agrees to accompany Early on his quest for his missing brother and a legendary great black bear along the Appalachian Trail. Early's Pi story is filled with pirates, volcanoes, and extraordinary escapades. Oddly, the boys' journey parallels Pi's story, as they encounter similar characters and excitement along the Trail. The two travel by land and sea all while overcoming obstacles and learning more about other and themselves.
As they complete this mission together and navigate dangerous paths, each realizes the power of his personal connections and that sometimes what you are looking for isn't always what you find. Vanderpool masterfully weaves the story of the boys' quest with the tale of Pi into a quickly moving narrative with beautiful language and mystical overtones. This stunning novel is homage to the power of stories, the importance of personal journeys, and the power of our individual constellations.
Children's literature is a booming business, and with good reason. As a genre, it is among the most densely populated with high quality, richly developed stories – new classics in the making. And yet, amidst this abundance of new literary treasures, have you found yourself pining for the pastoral tales of Beatrix Potter and Kenneth Grahame? Do you fear that children's classics of a bygone era are in danger of becoming bygone themselves? Newbery Honoree Jacqueline Kelly and illustrator Clint Young put such fears to rest in a new masterpiece: Return to the Willows.
Both a sequel and homage to Grahame's time-honored The Wind in the Willows, author Kelly has created a joyful continuance to the collective adventures of the original author's beloved characters, Toad, Mole, Ratty, and others. Demonstrating a keen sense of Grahame's voice and whimsical style, Kelly succeeds in deftly merging Grahame's attractive setting and fanciful characters with her own conversational and lively style of narration. The result is a jubilant new adventure in the style of the original, rendered uniquely accessible to a 21st-century audience.
Because of its playful tone and engaging language, Kelly's Return to the Willows shines as a read-aloud and is best enjoyed as shared reading. Some of the words may be challenging for younger readers, who may wish to follow along looking at the lush pictures as an adult reads aloud. Recommended for fans of pastoral, anthropomorphic tales, in the tradition of Beatrix Potter and Kenneth Grahame. Longing for read-alikes? Kelly is not the only author revisiting the classics. Readers who find they are craving similar titles will also enjoy Emma Thompson's tribute to Beatrix Potter in The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit.
Take a peek inside the mysterious and mischievous world of twins in three books for children with appeal for multiples and singletons alike. The nineteenth century counting rhyme "Over in the Meadow" inspired Ken Geist's Who's Who which puts the spotlight on twin animals. These six pairs of twins include calves, bunnies, monkeys, and fish and are featured in their natural habitats. Illustrator Henry Cole vividly depicts these landscapes in acrylic and colored pencil and moves from farmyard to jungle to bat cave. The memorable rhymes highlight the twins' activities through the day and match the warm, detailed illustrations.
The Twins' Blanket, written and illustrated by Hyewon Yum, shares the story of identical twin sisters who at age five are growing up and a little apart. The girls' favorite blanket is no longer big enough for sharing, so Mom creates new blankets for each girl with pieces from the old. Yum does a fabulous job of differentiating between these twins, by giving each girl her own side of the book. It isn't until the girls reach out to comfort each other that they cross over the center of the book. Yum, a twin herself, uses prints, colored pencil, watercolor, and other media in her bright illustrations, and makes great use of white space to complement the quiet, narrative text.
In Take Two: a Celebration of Twins, J. Patrick Lewis, the current Children's Poet Laureate teams with Jane Yolen to present more than forty poems about life as a twin. Sophie Blackall's watercolor, pencil, and collage illustrations complement the varied poems which are divided into sections representing stages and milestones, and a final section features famous twins. Lewis is a twin himself and Yolen is the grandmother of twins, so the two are quite familiar with the world of doubles. Readers will also enjoy the "Twin Fact" feature found throughout, such as the Russian woman who was mother to sixteen sets of twins, seven sets of triplets, and four sets of quadruplets!
When was the day? Most grownups can hardly remember. There is a day for each of us when playing with dolls becomes babyish; when windwhooshing down a hill on your bike – your faithful steed! – can't offer the mad thrill it used to do; a day when, inexplicably, you seem to outgrow your best friends. For Jack, that day is today.
Newbery Award winner Jerry Spinelli has written an unusual love story. Not a tale of boy and girl, but a tale of Kid and Kid-dom; of Jack and Hokey Pokey. In Hokey Pokey, there are no adults and there are no babies – there are only Kids and all the delicious experiences of being a Kid. For the littlest Newbies and Snotsippers all the way up to Groundhog Chasers and Big Kids, Hokey Pokey brims with the best that childhood has to offer. There, bikes roam wild until caught and tamed by a daring Kid. Boys and girls are mortal enemies, but mortality only extends as far as playing dead. Cartoons can be watched at any time of day and Jack and his amigos share the stuckfast bond of brotherhood. And until today, until things were different, Jack has relished it all.
Bittersweet and oddly restorative, Hokey Pokey will have fully as much as appeal for adults as for its intended middle grade audience. The thoughtful, almost metaphysical chapters will selectively draw in readers who are ready – those readers who are just reaching the outer limits of Kid-dom and those who have traveled far enough beyond to enjoy looking backward. It is a story of remembering what it was all about. It is a story about embracing what comes next.
The Theodore Seuss Geisel Award, named for beloved children's author/illustrator Dr. Seuss, is given by the American Library Association to the author and illustrator of the "most distinguished American book for beginning readers." The 2013 medal winner is Up, Tall and High, written and illustrated by Ethan Long. Silly, brightly colored cartoon birds are the stars of this trio of brief stories that use broad humor to get across the meanings of the words up, down, tall, small, and high. Fold-out pages and flaps to lift make this a fun book for brand new readers, who will gain confidence as they quickly master basic sight words deftly illustrated with visual cues.
Three honor books have also been named. Well known author/illustrator Mo Willems was given the accolade for Let's Go For a Drive!, starring his wildly popular characters Elephant and Piggie. Simple yet expressive cartoon drawings, color-coded speech bubbles, and an imaginative, laugh-out-loud storyline make this honor book a perfect choice for emerging readers. "Buttons come, and buttons go" in Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons, by illustrator James Dean, and author Eric Litwin, allowing for a counting down opportunity and a reminder to look on the bright side. Repetition, rhyme, bold colors, and a familiar feline character add to the appeal of this picture book.
Rounding out the list is Rabbit & Robot: The Sleepover, written and illustrated by Cece Bell. Following in the grand tradition of comically mismatched friends, this duo must find a way to compromise and give-and-take to get through their get-together. Bell's humorous cartoon illustrations will engage new readers as they make their way through this dialogue-driven book, a great choice for children who have mastered the basics but are not yet ready for easy chapter books.
The Newbery award, given for "the most distinguished contribution to children's literature" by the American Library Association, was announced yesterday. The 2013 medal winner is The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate, a book narrated by an artistic silverback gorilla who has spent the majority of his life on display at a circus-themed shopping mall. Ivan never questions his life in captivity, until the arrival of Ruby, a young elephant who has been taken from her family. Applegate's award-winning novel explores themes of friendship, humanity and the idea that it's never too late to become the person—or gorilla—you're meant to be.
The Newbery committee also named three honor books for 2013. Baltimorean Laura Amy Schlitz, librarian at The Park School, was given the nod for her complex, suspenseful Dickensian tale, Splendors and Glooms. Orphans Lizzie Rose and Parsefall, assistants to an evil puppeteer, Grisini, must clear their names when they are all implicated in the disappearance of Clara, the only daughter of a wealthy doctor. The children must escape not only Grisini, but his longtime rival, a powerful witch. Schlitz was the winner of the 2008 Newbery medal for Good Masters!, Sweet Ladies!: Voices from a Medieval Village.
A second honor novel is Sheila Turnage's Three Times Lucky, set in the small town of Tupelo Landing, North Carolina.Told in a distinctly Southern voice, this character-rich novel follows strong-willed sixth grader Mo LoBeau as she and her best friend, Dale Earnhardt Johnson III, attempt to find out the truth behind a murder. Rounding out the list of Newbery honor books is a nonfiction title, Bomb: The Race to Build—and Steal—the World's Most Dangerous Weapon by Steve Sheinkin. A well-written, true historical thriller, Shienkin's book provides an in-depth exploration of the scientists, politicians, and spies involved in the creation of the devastating atomic bomb. While written for a teen audience, Bomb will appeal to older history buffs as well.
Picture book author and illustrator Jon Klassen, known for his wry illustrations rendered in a muted color palette, was honored today by the American Library Association with the Randolph Caldecott Medal for This is Not my Hat. The book follows a sly minnow who has purloined a hat from a much larger fish and is certain he will get away with his petty crime. The illustrations, however, tell a different story. The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to the illustrator of "the most distinguished picture book for children."
Five Caldecott Honor Books were also named, including Extra Yarn, another book illustrated by Klassen, written by Mac Barnett. Extra Yarn shows the power of one young girl to change her town through kindness and generosity. Rounding out the list are the boy-and-his-penguin tale One Cool Friend, written by Toni Buzzeo, and illustrated by David Small; Green, a meditation on the color, written and illustrated by Laura Vaccaro Seeger; the Twilight Zone-inspired Creepy Carrots!, written by Aaron Reynolds and illustrated by Peter Brown; and the lyrical bedtime story Sleep Like a Tiger, written by Mary Logue and illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Peggy Parish's Amelia Bedelia, the first book in Parish's series about the literal-minded housekeeper whose misadventures have entertained young readers since 1963. As she starts her 50th year, Amelia Bedelia has some big news! She is going to star in her own line of chapter books for new readers. The first two books of Herman Parish's (Peggy's nephew) new chapter book series about young Amelia Bedelia will soon be available. In Amelia Bedelia Means Business, Amelia wants a bike like her new classmate Suzanne's, but it's very expensive. Amelia decides to earn the money for the bike herself with hilarious results. Amelia Bedelia's parents say that she can get a new puppy in Amelia Bedelia Unleashed, so she sets out to find the puppy of her dreams. These new chapter books are a great step up for new readers who are ready for something a little more challenging than the original Amelia Bedelia series.
You can join in the celebration of Amelia Bedelia Day on January 29th by reading your favorite Amelia Bedelia book, or trying one of the crafts and activities on Amelia Bedelia's birthday website.
Ever wondered what your cat is thinking? Why do they do what they do? It's All About Me-Ow, written and illustrated by Hudson Talbott, deciphers all those mysteries and more in a hilarious romp through the life of felines. Spot on and laugh-out-loud funny, Buddy, the family's older, experienced orange tabby takes on the schooling of three new kittens with "A Young Cat's Guide to the Good Life". From comical explanatory charts, lists of "fabulous feline features", to instructions for making the most appealing face for every situation, Buddy schools the wide-eyed kittens in the rigors of "cat-itude", as well as the proper training of humans. Endlessly amusing, the cat's antics, interspersed with actual information and a bit of history, will keep readers in stitches. Slyly humorous, the cartoon illustrations in watercolor, colored pencil and ink, charm and disarm as does the worldly Buddy and earnestly ingenuous kittens. This is a purrfectly fun book for all ages.
What to Expect When You're Expecting Hatchlings: A Guide for Crocodilian Parents (and Curious Kids) is another cleverly humorous picture book, notable as children's nonfiction. Author Bridget Heos (whose favorite book as a child was Lyle, Lyle Crocodile) blends witty reptilian wisdom with real facts in an easy to read Q & A format and playful conversational tone. Turns out reptile parents have the same concerns as human parents – "where should I lay my eggs?"; "what happens after they hatch?" Hatchlings have questions too, like "when do I eat my first water buffalo?" The colorful anthropomorphic cartoon-style artwork, by Canadian illustrator Stephane Jorisch, adds to the whimsy. Included are a glossary and a list of books for further reading and websites. Readers will also want to check out two similarly amusing titles from the author: What to Expect When You're Expecting Joeys: A Guide for Marsupial Parents and What to Expect When You're Expecting Larvae: A Guide for Insect Parents.
Welcome, fellow members of the VFD and other esteemed colleagues of Lemony Snicket. You are apologetically invited to endure the somber account of a celebrated member's decidedly inauspicious apprenticeship: Who Could That Be at This Hour? All other readers are invited to stop reading right now.
Oh, all right, tag along if you absolutely must.
By his own account, Lemony Snicket's education was an unusual one. Just how unusual? Well, that would certainly be the wrong question, but since you're new at this, we'll indulge your overdeveloped sense of curiosity – a phrase which here is the polite substitution for "nosiness". Suffice to say that Snicket's education supplied him with the skills necessary to escape drugging by tea; send secret messages through library loans; free-fall, and other similarly uncomfortable exploits encountered in this book.
What strange sort of book is this? Call it a prequel to unfortunate events, call it a nod to the noir; whatever the classification, Snicket's latest is most certainly a restorative. Who Could That Be at This Hour? is the first in the intended four-volume series, All the Wrong Questions. Chronicling the latter days of his uncommonly strange childhood and early career, the authorized autobiography of the dear and drear Snicket is at turns gloomy and startling, but always entertaining. Readers who have enjoyed A Series of Unfortunate Events will not be disappointed. Staples of Snicket's style – clever wordplay and melancholic narration – are abundant in this new venture, accompanied by superb woodcut illustrations.

NBC Renews 'The Voice' for Fifth and Sixth Seasons
Although NBC's hit competitive reality talent show 'The Voice' didn't win any Emmys this year, losing the award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Show to CBS's 'Amazing Race,' at least it was nominated. And it doesn't mean the Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton-coached series lacks a decent fan base. It doesn't, and the recent announcement from NBC that 'The Voice' is getting renewed for both a fifth and sixth season is proof of that.

The New Mexico Philharmonic is used to playing large venues in the Land of Enchantment and playing for distinguished guests, including the mayor and local congressman, but the audience today was even more special.
Nearly 200 Albuquerque children with autism were treated to a performance of "Peter and the Wolf" and parents got to enjoy this show with their kids for a different reason.
"It was a great thing that it was not only for an autism crowd but that it was a musical performance. There was dancing. It was just an opportunity that you really just don't get to have a lot," said Cay Garcia, a mother of one of the children at the performance.
The man who helped bring the children to the symphony, Anthony Trujillo, is not only is a board member of the New Mexico Philharmonic, but also has a daughter with autism. He calls her his inspiration.
"As a parent of an autistic child, we refrain typically from taking our children to quiet venues, especially symphonies, so I thought this would be a great experience for the autistic children that were here today from Albuquerque Public Schools," Trujillo said.
What makes the event one of a kind, according to the director of the New Mexico Philharmonic Board Maureen Baca, is that it's the first time an event like this has ever been done in the United States with a full professional orchestra performing in a regular concert venue for children with autism.
Everyone involved, including the New Mexico Philharmonic, APS, and Trujillo, plan on having a similar performance next year and hope to bring in students from middle and high schools as well.

The couple have now set up a foundation in her honor to raise awareness about the condition and call for everyone who comes into contact with a child to be vaccinated against it.
it is tragic and so is (IMO) 4 Dr.s that could not recognize it!
It is sounding like the mom did not know she could receive the vax while pregnant. There is no way I would get a vax while pregnant, but some women would, and she had the right to know it was an option.
It does sound like there was some medical negligence going on - first not informing the woman of pertussis risks, and the options availible to lower them, as well as the delayed diagnosis.
the child was three months old when she died and I haven't seen in any of the stories why she did not get her 2month shot - my real issues is, one, the vaccine does not totally 100% prevent it (that doesn't get a big mention in what I have read), secondly, a big BUT! 4 Dr.s don't know what they are looking at - therefor everyone must be vaccinated??
as I stated, I feel the family is doing what they can try and have control over vs (IMO) a medical community that should be the main focus in this - how many times have we read about misdiagnosis due to having the vac? Oh, you can't have that because you were vacced! and I fear (sadly) if you are not trained in what these diseases are you don't know what you are looking at - the man who died in Wales comes to mind, 3 Dr.s there and a discharge too
I never see stats on misdiagnosis (for vac or other disease) and what those true number are - and I know antidotal doesn't count!
Francesca was born Feb. 24, 2012, and became ill in mid-May. Her parents said they saw four doctors who did not recognize the signs of pertussis.
Pertussis, IIRC, is rife with mis and under diagnosis.
Teens and adults get a bad cough, think it is just a bad cough, and do not realise they have pertussis which can be deadly for young infants. They often do not make the whoop sound, so doctors (if they bother to seek help) miss it as well.
Once upon a time (and maybe still?) very few people were diagnosed with pertussis - because, yk, no one could have it. Vaccines got rid of it (snort).
There is no excuse for any of the above. Everyone should be aware that pertussis exists in our communities and can be dangerous for infants.

There is no excuse for any of the above. Everyone should be aware that pertussis exists in our communities and can be dangerous for infants.
I think part of the problem is also that people...GPs and the general public alike...think that once you've had the pertussis vax it's nearly impossible to either transmit the bacteria to others or to come down with an atypical cough yourself. Yet, we've all read the studies. It does occur. I've read elsewhere, numerous times, parents saying, "Well, we've all had boosters, so we're all safe." Um, no. Maybe reduced risk, sure, but that doesn't mean walking around thinking that it'll NEVER happen to you.
My DH was up-to-date on his boosters (work requirement) and he still came down with pertussis and passed it along to DS (unvaxed, 23 months old at the time). DH works in industrial environments with a lot of crap in the air, so he is always coughing for some reason or another. At that time, the cough turned out to be pertussis. Thing was, none of us clued in until DS caught it and presented with the classic whoop.
I was also up-to-date according to the 1980s schedule when I had what I strongly suspect was pertussis. Because I was UTD, my doctor refused to do a swab and said it was completely impossible to get pertussis if you'd been vaccinated, so testing would be a waste of time. He diagnosed bronchitis, even though no bronchitis I'd ever had previously lasted for over eight weeks, was unresponsive to antibiotics, and resulted in coughing so strenuous that I vomited. I've had bronchitis a number of times over my life. None have ever had the same clinical features.
I think there needs to be more awareness out there that the pertussis vaccine is not a panacea. If parents want to do it, fine. If they want all their extended family to get it, well, they can demand it, and hope for compliance. And they can vaccinate their LOs. But they shouldn't assume that they are somehow home free now because of this strategy alone. I get the deep seated, almost visceral, wanting to control all the variables...we've all heard about the new mom who says she will not allow anyone (grandparents, relatives, friends, care providers, playgroup leaders, neighbours, whoever) near the baby without a booster first. Trouble is, the studies are steadily indicating that the bacteria is also working just as furiously to adapt to these strategies and respond accordingly, whether through changing its DNA to become more virulent or to easily colonise older, previously vaccinated hosts. Unfortunately, we cannot control everything. That is an illusion, but one that Western medicine thrives upon. Add the other illusion that the atypical cough CANNOT be pertussis, and we have a problem indeed.
The old Adacel ads used to have that disclaimer in the small print at the bottom saying that they didn't know if giving boosters to all adults would prevent transmission to babies. They should have another, in equally small print, if they wish, that says something along the lines of, "Even with vaccination, there is a 'small' possibility of colonisation and transmission of pertussis bacteria and parents should be vigilant about the health of family members." But then this probably would not go over well with manufacturers, right?

while I admire our First Lady I wonder how a memorial to an ancestor will generate visitors to our county when the reputation of the county is so poor it can not even keep buisness here? How long will it take to see this memorial that would make the visitors have to stay at motels or hotels in our county? I think the complaint about monies being spent for this is not to do it but with other concerns in the county that could use a finanicial boost first? What ever happen to the recreation parks for our youth? Mr. Bell wonders why everything has to have a political undertone to it, I wonder why when someone expresses a concern different from another it has racism undertones?

Why does the budget show cuts in areas except the transportation department? Why is the board messing up a good program like Nutrition Services who makes money for the system? After going to a several meetings it seems to me that the school board has no knowlwdge of the departments Dr. Heatly recommends for reduction, may a little homework on their part, no wait if they do that they may be reprimanded by Dr Heatly and his staff

I don't know about you, but my mind has been consumed with "bad news" lately. So, if I may, I'm going to lighten the mood for a bit. I want to tell you a story about a fish named "Dempsey." Dempsey is no ordinary fish. For starters, he's a parrot cichlid, and his ancestors were first created in Taiwan around 1986. He's "manmade" so to speak.
The Kentucky General Assembly convened its 2015 Regular Session this week, with more than 200 bills already filed and ready for consideration. In many years past, the first week of this off-year "short" session was spent mainly on formalities like electing leaders and appointing committees, with the real work of passing bills beginning in February. But with only 30 days to accomplish so much, I'm proud to say the Senate got down to business passing legislation.
Although legislative sessions in odd-numbered years are relatively new in Kentucky – the first was held in 2001 – the General Assembly has long met during the first full week of January in these years to elect House and Senate leaders and update committee assignments. While the top four leaders in both chambers remained the same last week, there were some changes in the other leadership positions; in fact, nine of the 16 House and Senate leaders are new.
With a new year just beginning, it's a good time to remind everyone to be careful on the roads. That is never truer than when emergency vehicles are trying to reach a scene. Anyone who has been in a car has been on the road when the flashing lights have appeared and sirens have been sounded. Unfortunately, too many of us fail to do what we should to help those emergency vehicles. That means pulling over as close to parallel as possible to the edge or curb of the road, per Chapter 189.930(a) of the Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter.
As states look for ways to improve their quality of life, the first thing they usually do is see how well they stack up with the rest of the country.

Finding the right talent to fill available jobs is a top concern for more and more business leaders. In fact, many employers ready to expand or relocate say a competitive workforce weighs heavier in their location decision than the availability of shovel-ready sites. While every job requires its own specific skills and knowledge, existing and potential employers alike seek candidates with proven workplace skills – the basics that demonstrate a candidate can solve problems and succeed.
It's time again for members of the Kentucky General Assembly to meet for a 30-day "short" session. I have provided a survey covering important topics the General Assembly may consider during the 2014 Session. Please take the time to review it, answer the questions, and return it to: Senator Jimmy Higdon 242 Capital Annex 702 Capitol Ave. Frankfort, KY 40601
Although there is no doubt that we still have a long way to go to recover fully from the national recession that began seven years ago, there have been some encouraging signs in recent days. Early last week, for example, the U.S. Commerce Department reported that the economy grew by five percent between July and September, the fastest quarterly uptick in a decade.
The gift of life. There is no greater gift. And, all too often, we take that gift for granted. We just assume there is going to be a tomorrow. But, tomorrow is never guaranteed. Just this week, a good friend of mine lost her father. His death was sudden, completely unexpected, and just a few days before Christmas. My heart hurts for her. Nothing can prepare you for such a loss. Nothing.
I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas season and a Happy New Year. For the second year in a row, the hustle of Christmas parties, parades, church services and family get-togethers seems more intense with the shorter period between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Don't let the stress and hectic schedule ruin your holiday. I hope I take my own advice when I say slow down and enjoy the holidays.

***WINNER, 2008 PEN Oakland - Josephine Miles National Literary Award
Blacks have been vanishing from college campuses in the United States and reappearing in prisons, videos, and movies. Cecil Brown tackles this unwitting "disappearing act" head on, paying special attention to the situation at UC Berkeley and the University of California system generally. Brown contends that educators have ignored the importance of the oral tradition in African American upbringing, an oversight mirrored by the media. When these students take exams, their abilities are not tested. Further, university officials, administrators, professors, and students are ignoring the phenomenon of the disappearing black student – in both their admissions and hiring policies. With black studies departments shifting the focus from African American and black community interests to black immigrant issues, says Brown, the situation is becoming dire. Dude, Where's My Black Studies Department? offers both a scorching critique and a plan for rethinking and reform of a crucial but largely unacknowledged problem in contemporary society.

Novartis and the Institute for OneWorld Health signed a three-year collaboration to develop a treatment for secretory diarrhea that targets the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulatory (CFTR) chloride ion channel. Novartis will carry out all research and assume associated costs, with OneWorld Health having responsibility for subsequent preclinical and clinical development.
OneWorld Health has been working on an antisecretory diarrhea therapy since 2006, funded by a $47 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The work was based on research carried out at the University of California, San Francisco. The new collaboration will now take advantage f Novartis' knowledge in the area of CFTR structure and function.
In cystic fibrosis, the CFTR gene mutation leads to a buildup of mucus in the lungs, but in secretory diarrhea the infectious agents or toxins induce CFTR hyperactivity that results in excessive loss of water from the body via the gastrointestinal tract. OneWorld believes that because infectious diarrhea is often caused by over-activation of the CF channel, an inhibitor could represent an effective addition to currently available treatments, which are based on oral rehydration, by helping to reduce fluid and electrolyte loss.

David Gold has confirmed that he expects West Ham to annunce some further signings shortly.
The 74-year-old co-chairman told his followers on Twitter that despite no news on the transfer front since the confirmation of Kevin Nolan's arrival, hard work continues behind the scenes.
"Many of you are asking about signings," Gold said, "but please bear with us as we obviously can't reveal any details until a deal us virtually done. Negotiations for new signings are ongoing."
With the current squad back at Chadwell Heath later this week after their summer break, new boss Sam Allardyce will be keen to boost his options.

Learn the four basic steps to making laundry easier, plus the secrets to help make your clothes last longer and look better.
More in Decorating
We asked home-efficiency expert Cynthia Townley Ewer, author of Houseworks, to explain her secrets for making laundry chores simple, easy and successful.
If you skip the sort step before starting the wash, you know what'll happen: red sweater plus white undies equals pink panties (or worse, pink jockey shorts).
To sort laundry, start with color. Separate clothing into white, light-colored, bright and dark divisions to avoid dye-transfer problems. Wash white and light clothing separately to keep dye transfer at bay.
Separating synthetics (polyester, nylon, acrylic) from natural fibers (cotton, linen) can also cure dye-transfer problems; synthetic fibers can be dye magnets, absorbing the castoffs from dye-rich natural fibers.
Troubled by lint in the wash? Keep lint-generators (sweatshirts, towels, flannel fabrics) away from lint attractors (nylon blouses, microfibers) in the laundry process.
For cleaner clothes, sort clothing by soil level. Jeans worn while planting seedlings in the garden aren't good wash-mates for lightly soiled blouses. Fabric weight, too, should be considered; the heavy stitching, brads and buttons on jeans are too rough-and-tumble to share a wash cycle with lighter-weight or delicate clothing.
As you load the washer, check each item of clothing. Close zippers, remove belts and ties, and check pockets for forgotten items that don't belong in the wash. Eyeball each garment, searching for stains and treat them before you wash.

i think that my cat is a government project gone wrong.
My theory is that there is a secret military facility in Logan where they are breeding assassin cats.
They breed to be naturally bitey and vicious and inject them with a poisonous venom that wont hurt them but will kill humans.
then they give these cute little kittens to dignitaries, government officials, and leaders of foreign countries
and they just think it's a cute little kitten and they love it and hold it and laugh when it bites their toes....
but one day while they're sleeping... ROAR! the cat bites and it appears that you died in your sleep.
oh, and they attack and kill house plants because that is the only cure to the deadly poison.
fortunately Mahana's mother escaped from the facility before giving birth so my kitten was never given the poison but she's a trained attack cat.
thus the crazy cat that is currently at my house.

Get to know a company in less than 5 minutes: That's what a Motley Fool Cheat Sheet is all about. If you're new to Melco Crown Entertainment (Nasdaq: MPEL ) , consider this your Foolish way to get introduced and in the know.
What it does
Melco is a casino and hotel resort operator in Macau, one of only six licensed to do so. For those unfamiliar with tiny administrative regions of the People's Republic of China, Macau is like an Asian Las Vegas. Covering 11 square miles (one-sixth the size of Washington, D.C.), the city/region is along the southern shore of China. An enormous part of the region's economy is derived from the gaming (*cough* gambling *cough*) and tourism industry.
Melco owns and runs three major operations in Macau: the Mocha Clubs, the Altira Macau, and the City of Dreams that was just opened last June. The Mocha Clubs are a series of eight gaming parlors that primarily offer slot machines and electronic game tables. The Altira is a different beast: The first six-star casino hotel in the city, it is the tallest building on Macau's Taipa Island and boasts a 183,000-square-foot gaming area. But the real crown jewel in Melco's portfolio is the City of Dreams, a behemoth of a development that includes a hotel, a shopping strip, a theater, and a 420,000-square-foot casino.
At the end of the day, the casinos are the real cash cows. Melco generated $1.33 billion in revenues last year, $1.3 billion of which came from the spread between the casinos' winnings and the winnings of their patrons.
How it stacks up
While Melco's operations are not directly comparable with those of its Las Vegas brethrens -- they operate in a different environment with different demographics and economic conditions -- doing a comparative market study can still be an informative exercise.

What to watch out for
Melco's biggest problem is its continued inability to generate positive free cash flow. The situation gets worse when one considers the company's nearly $2 billion debt-load vs. its paltry $252 million cash hoard.
From an operational standpoint, being situated in Macau gives Melco a lot of exposure to the burgeoning Chinese middle class. However, PRC citizens are still required to get a visa to enter the city, and even then, there are restrictions about how much money a Chinese visitor can bring into Macau (and thus, how much they can gamble away at Melco's casinos).
Why you should care
While this statement could apply to most any company, Melco's past financial history really isn't a very good indicator of how well it'll perform going forward. Since City of Dreams just completed last year, investors still haven't been able to gauge a full year's financials with it included. There's a good chance this could be the turning point once that hand is revealed.

Bearcats Fall to 18th-Ranked Louisville
April 6, 2014 CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati women's lacrosse team fell to No. 18/20 Louisville, 23-2, on Sunday afternoon at Gettler Stadium. The Bearcats (6-6, 0-2 BIG EAST) got goals from Ashley Helmrath (Ellicott City, Md./Maryvale Preparatory) and Courtney Curtis (Mason, Ohio/William Mason). Dani Tunnell (Frederick, Md./Oakdale) and Taylor Young (Cincinnati, Ohio/Sycamore) contributed assists. Louisville (8-3, 2-0 BIG EAST) was led by hat tricks from Laura Patterson, Cortnee Daley and Hannah Koloski. Faye Brust, Colleen O'Malley, Nikki Boltja and Anna Kopecka each posted a pair of goals. Jamie Redding contributed a goal and five assists, while Patterson also had a pair of assists. Despite not scoring, Kaylin Morissette may have been UofL's most valuable player, winning 14 draw controls. Morrisette's ability to win draws helped Louisville control the ball for most of the game. The Cardinals jumped to a 5-0 lead before Curtis scored on a feed from Tunnell. The Bearcats' second goal came with 4:01 left in the first half, with Helmrath scoring from Young. Meg Gulmi (Syosset, N.Y./Syosset) did her best in the cage, making 14 saves in just over 46 minutes of action before giving way to Jennifer Walsh (East Setauket, N.Y./Ward Melville) in relief. Louisville's Ashley Herbst made two saves in earning the victory.
The Bearcats will head to Philadelphia for a pair of league games next weekend as they look to get back on the winning side of the ledger. UC faces Villanova on Friday, April 11, before visiting Temple on Sunday, April 13.

Victor Cruz WR NYG Oct 04 '787 Comments
Victor Cruz managed just three catches for 21 yards in the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Ravens.
Cruz comes up with two duds at the worst time for fantasy owners. He did bang knees with Ravens S James Ihedigbo in the first half and was briefly hobbled, but he never missed a play and it didn't appear to affect him. The real culprit once again was a leaky offensive line and more mind-numbing play from Eli Manning. Cruz will wrap up his second NFL season against the Eagles in Week 17.
Jayfer Oct 04 '78
So happy I benched him for Dez! It won me the championship!
ARTofWARFARE Oct 04 '78
? I'm confused, so why don't you have a trophy under your career? If you win a championship you would have a trophy indicating so. but you don't.
ARTofWARFARE Oct 06 '78
Jayfer got me, but you don't know how many people claim a championship without a trophy, but good job jayfer. Oh yea, i got burnt by cruz but i still made it to the championship...i play for the trophy next week. We play til week 17. Again good job jayfer on winning your first super bowl...its a great feeling. Was it a 10 or 12 tm league?

From Wikitravel
Kortrijk is a city in West Flanders. UnderstandKortrijk is a medium city, it has a good balance of tradition and innovation/modernism. It was seen as the Texas of Flanders, one of the richest and most economic developped areas in Flanders. Kortrijk has always been famous for shopping, and in 2010 a big shopping centre is going to open in the heart of the city. There are numerous traffic-free shopping zones, and lots historical sites in the city centre. Outside the centre there are some less developped hoods, but never really bad neighbourhoods. Kortrijk is not far from France, but it's a rather safe city. Suburbs/sattelite cities like Menen have to endure criminality from French youth and gangsters, but Kortrijk is rather safe.

Our holiday shopping has "wrapped" up and our teacher gifts are set and ready to be delivered. This year it was time to fancy them up a bit, put some sparkle and care into the presentation. This project is posted on Lily Bee today.
I find myself picking up items like this glass jar, wooden and paper boxes and much more to alter at a moments notice :) This time around it worked as packaging for a gift card.
Make sure to pop on over to see Stacey and Cindy's amazing projects. The colors and inspiration will put you in the holiday spirit today!
Remember you have until midnight to enter the gift card giveaway below. Spending my day cleaning my craft space...again. After a new desk, which should be arriving soon for my dear hubby, I felt it was time to purge, clean and organize. Getting a little better parting with items I haven't used in some time and hope to find them new homes. My husband and I share a creative space. His musical equipment, our office computer/desk and my craft area in a room that is about 10' x 12'. It is always a work in progress and when our needs change...so does the space. We shall see if this becomes a three day process (now into day two) or if I can drink one more cup of coffee and finish it up. I have so many new items that I would love to give away to a new home and a box to ship them to someone. I will post it here tomorrow if you are interested in it the giveaway will be posted then. Will include a new Scor-Pal, Xerox sticker maker, paper pads, Maya Road chipboard sets and much more! Tomorrow I will also be sharing a project from Precious Remembrance. Stay tuned...

Canberra Track Classic
Hi Everyone,
On Saturday February 7th I competed on my home track, in the Canberra Track Classic 400H, taking victory in 56.21.
Whilst my time was over half a second faster than my race in Hobart, I narrowly missed the World Championships automatic qualifying time by 0.01s (56.20)!!
I am very happy with my run, however, and I will post the race footage as soon as I can on my '2015 Competitions' page. Check out my '2015 Blog' for further insight into my race and how I felt about it.
Thank you to all of the people who came out to support and cheer on Saturday, particularly my family and friends – you were all amazing and I really appreciate it!!
Lauren :-)
Briggs Athletics Classic
Hi Everyone,
On Sunday January 25th I competed in the Briggs Athletics Classic W400H, winning the event in a time of 56.74.
Hobart put on some blustery, cool and at times, wet conditions for the competition but I didn't let that stop me from running the best race I could. I altered my stride pattern to ideally suit the conditions and it worked really well. I was very happy to run sub-57sec for my second race of the season, particularly in tricky conditions.
I've now had a great week of training since returning to Canberra from Hobart, and am really looking forward to my next 400H race at the Canberra Track Classic on Saturday February 7th!
Check out the video of my race on my '2015 Competition Footage' page and also have a read of my 'blog' to get some insight into my thoughts about the race.
Lauren :-)
Happy 2015!
Hi Everyone,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed a safe, happy and healthy festive break, and that you are all feeling ready for a BIG 2015!!
I'm sorry I haven't posted on here for a while – not much to update except that once I returned home from Glasgow Comm Games, I got straight back into training so that I can give myself the best chance of having a fantastic 2015! I did compete in Morocco in the Continental Cup, but lets just say that my results showed that I had only been back training 3wks after a 2wk break!
I have been doing a lot of aerobic and speed training on the track as well as strength in the gym. I have been achieving training PB's both in the gym and on the track, therefore I am feeling very positive and excited for the Australian season ahead. I am planning to kick off my season in Hobart on January 25th at the Briggs Track Classic. It will most likely be my first 400H hit out and I am really looking forward to seeing the hard work pay off!
Now that 2015 is here and the Australian season is about to begin, I will certainly be more active in posting race results/ videos/ pictures etc so please stick around and enjoy reading/ watching how the year unfolds!
Lauren :-) xo
Glasgow Update
Hi Everyone,
On Thursday night I competed in the Women's 400H FINAL at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. I finished 4th in a time of 56.09, on a very wet night at Hampden Park. The result is bittersweet – Finishing 4th again, after being 4th in Delhi, is quite heartbreaking; I wanted a medal so badly and really believed it was time. On the other hand, I stuck to my race plan, executed it and put myself in the race, and on the day, was beaten by three faster girls.
I am really proud of what I have achieved, along with my amazing coach Matt Beckenham. I really felt like I'd left no stone unturned, which is why it hurt so much, but that is athletics and that's what drives us to keep on keeping on! The depth of women's 400H across the Commonwealth has certainly increased, so 4th in such a high quality field is something to be proud of.
I am very happy to announce that I have been selected to run in the Women's 4x400m Relay FINAL tonight 750pm local time (450am AEST)! The girls did a fantastic job yesterday to make the final, and I am looking forward to joining Anneliese Rubie, Caitlin Sargent and Morgan Mitchell out in the Green and Gold tonight! I know we are going to give it our absolute best, and represent Lyndsay Pekin and Jess Gulli, who helped get the team into the final, to the absolute best of our ability.
Final day of athletics at the Commonwealth Games, so I hope you've got one last lot of loud cheering left in you, to help get us across that line!
Lauren :-)
Tonight is IT!
Hi Everyone,
On Tuesday July 29th I competed in the 400H Heats at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. I finished second in a time of 55.79, which was enough to automatically advance me to the FINAL! I was very happy and relieved to run such a solid race that was good enough to get me into the final.
I will endeavour to find and post my heat and/or my final run to my '2014 Competition Footage' Page as soon as I can!
Tonight, in the 400H FINAL! 8.25pm local time (5.25am Friday AEST). I am really looking forward to running; I have done absolutely everything possible in training, recovery and general everyday life, to give myself the best possible chance tonight. My competition is tough, as you would expect in a Commonwealth Games Final, but I have Lane 5 and just can't wait to mix it with the best tonight, and see what happens!
Thank you to everyone who has sent me messages of support; I appreciate it more than you know! Tonight is the big one, so I hope you've all got everything crossed for me and your loudest cheering voices ready!!
Aussie Aussie Aussie… OI OI OI!!!
Lauren :-)
Glasgow Update
Hi Everyone!
I arrived in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games Village five days ago, and am loving it so far! On Wednesday night I attended the Opening Ceremony, which was a lot of fun! The Australian Team are a lot of fun to be around and the experience was made all the more enjoyable sharing it with Matt (coach) and Mel (training partner).
Action for the Australian Athletics Team begins tomorrow, and I know the next seven days are going to absolutely fly by! My training has been going really well and I have even been able to train in the main stadium at Hampden Park!
Once the startlists are available for my race I will let you know!
Lauren :-)
Glasgow – HERE WE COME!
Hi Everyone,
Tomorrow, July 21st, I will be heading into the Glasgow Commonwealth Games Village, along with my fellow Australian Athletic team-mates! We have had a fantastic time here in Gateshead, UK – staying at The Hilton and training at the Gateshead International Stadium (and facilities).
I arrived here on Wednesday night from Luzern, where I ran 55.98 in my final 400H race before Glasgow. It was another consistent, solid race, where I finished 5th, but only 0.6s off the winner. I am feeling great and have had some awesome sessions in Gateshead, including relay sessions with the 4x400m girls.
It is going to be a busy few days once we arrive in the Village and then on to Australian Team Dinners and of course, the Opening Ceremony!
I will try and keep you up-to-date with the latest news and sessions, as I approach the final week of preparations, before my 400H Heats, which are now July 29th, in the morning session.
Keep on eye on my '2014 Blog' page, for more in-depth information on what I have been up to!
Lauren :-)
Glasgow and Luzern
Hi Everyone,
I am writing this from the beautiful city of Luzern, Switzerland where I will be running my final 400H race before Commonwealth Games tonight at 9.24pm (5.24am AEST). It is a strong field here and I am really looking forward to fine-tuning some elements of my race before I get back into some quality training before Glasgow.
On Friday, July 11th I ran in the 400H at the Glasgow Diamond League, finishing 3rd in 55.78. I was very pleased with my finish and it was another consistent run after my 55.69 in Oordegem the previous week.
Check out my '2014 Competition Footage' page for the video of my race in Glasgow.
There is also a LIVE RESULTS page available for the competition in Luzern tonight.
Lauren :-)
Oordegem Results
Hi Everyone,
I am very happy to report that my opening competition in Europe, on Saturday, went really well! I won the W400H in Oordegem, BEL in 55.69, which is my fastest time in 12mths and also my first Commonwealth Games 'A' Qualifier!
Conditions for my race were fairly blustery, but dry, and the track in Oordegem is pretty fast so I thought I'd be able to run well, if I could put together a solid race. However, I didn't quite expect to run 55.69!
I am also happy to announce that I am confirmed for the W400H in the Glasgow Diamond League, July 11-12! I am very excited to be running at Hampden Park, which will be inundated with Commonwealth Games athletes in three weeks time! It will be a fantastic opportunity to get a feel for the track and conditions, as well as race some of my Commonwealth Games competitors!
To view my 400H race from Oordegem, please check out my '2014 Competition Footage' page.

Cologne and Comps
Hi Everyone!
I'm sorry it has been so long since my last post! Since Nationals (early April) I have been very busy training hard in preparation for Commonwealth Games. I have only run two 400H races since then, and the rest of the time has been spent getting as fit, strong and fast as I can for Glasgow. Despite the temperature dropping to as low as 0⁰C on a few mornings, I have been able to get through some fantastic sessions – both running and hurdles.
I competed twice in Canberra over the last couple of weeks – both races were on a wet track and the temperature would have been around 10⁰C. I ran 57.06 and 56.42, the latter being the fastest time I have run all year. This has filled me with a lot of confidence, as I know that with some added adrenaline, competitions and warmer weather, I will be able to run a lot faster.
I arrived in Cologne, Germany on Wednesday, where I will base until July 10th. There are a lot of Aussie athletes here, also preparing for Commonwealth Games, so it makes the training environment very familiar, and at times competitive! I am really looking forward to doing some sessions with the Aussie female 400m and 400H athletes, where we can all push ourselves.
Tomorrow I will be competing in my first European 400H race – The Memorial Leon Buyle in Oordegem-Lede, Belgium. This is the competition I ran my PB at last year, so hopefully we get some fantastic conditions again and I can post a fast opener to my European campaign.
The W400H is part of the 'pre-program' at 2.15pm (10.15pm AEST).
For more information on the meet, including a full timetable and list of participants, please click here…
Looking forward to sharing the final few weeks of preparations into Commonwealth Games, and of course, the main event in Glasgow!!
Lauren :-)
