2013-2014 Guidelines
Sponsored by Academic Affairs
Duquesne University
The purpose of these awards is to recognize faculty members who have implemented innovative ways of teaching and have assessed the impact on student learning. The innovation may have been used at other institutions or in other fields, but must be newly adapted to Duquesne in your field.
All full-time faculty who have taught one full year at Duquesne are eligible. Faculty are invited to submit collaborative and multi-course projects. Award submissions featuring entire academic programs are not eligible.
Award Benefits
Winners will receive $1000 at the annual spring Celebration of Teaching Excellence. They will present a poster at the Celebration, and participate in an award winners' panel the next fall. In addition to receiving public recognition and a strong endorsement of their teaching at Duquesne, many award winners have presented papers at national conferences and published peer reviewed articles featuring their innovation.
Selection Criteria
1. Contribution to Student Learning
An analysis of your innovation's contribution to student learning is critical to winning this award. Evidence of student learning is the most important of the three criteria.
Various ways exist to demonstrate student learning related to your innovation. Learning involves human participants in a real-life context, which, of course, precludes controlling all variables. That said, your analysis of evidence can result in a rigorous claim that your innovation resulted in student learning. In so far as possible, apply the principles of your chosen methodology, be it quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods.
It is helpful to reviewers if you have some comparison data from past courses (prior to the innovation) or a quasi-control group. These comparisons can include the gaps you identified that motivated you to implement the creative approach in the first place.
Plan how you will collect and analyze student learning data when you are planning the course(s). If you are including more than one innovation, discuss explicitly how the innovations form a coherent whole to meet the three award criteria.
Assessment begins with learning goals. Evidence of student learning needs to be directly tied to each of the learning goals outlined in the submission. Indeed, there needs to be alignment between the goals, teaching/learning methods, and the evidence of learning. Multiple kinds of evidence make the submission stronger. There must be direct evidence of student-learning. Indirect evidence is often useful.
Direct evidence – required
--definition: assessment of actual student performance which demonstrates what students learned and the extent to which students met the learning goals
--examples (not exhaustive list): written assignments, performances, presentations, observations of quality of field work (e.g., clinical, internships), reflection on theory and practice (e.g. service-learning), research and capstone projects, exams, standardized tests, licensure exams, student publications
Indirect evidence – strongly encouraged
--definition: perspectives on teaching and learning that provide insights on the learning process so that you can examine what promotes or hinders learning
--examples (not exhaustive list): student self-appraisals of learning, satisfaction or confidence surveys, peer review by faculty, focus groups (e.g., with students, alumni, community partners, employers of graduates), employer feedback
In short, here are the criteria related to evidence of student learning:
- Integrated into the teaching/learning design (alignment of goals - teaching/learning - assessment)
- Begins with learning goals
- Evidence is tied to each learning goal
- Direct evidence is required
- Indirect evidence is very useful but is not sufficient
- Multiple kinds of evidence strengthen the submission
2. Innovativeness
Innovation comes in many different forms, and rarely if ever means "creating from scratch." These examples of creative teaching are not exhaustive, but may be helpful as applicants describe their projects. The innovation must always be linked to student learning.
- Adapting teaching/learning methods from other fields and contexts that are useful to your students' learning. Using teaching methods and tools not widely used in your field, or not practiced in your program at Duquesne.
- Implementing a unique combination of common teaching strategies to solve a learner-related problem (e.g., attrition of students) or address a persistent challenge.
- Crafting new materials.
- Devising a way to address a bottleneck in student learning that you have observed over the years.
- Addressing new competency demands, for example, coming from societal/employment needs, national associations, accrediting bodies, or the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Innovativeness needs to be described within the context of the applicant's department/school and discipline. Creativity involves both imagination and a sense of realism. Therefore, feasibility, replicability, and potential sustainability of the innovation are valued in this award process.
Please provide evidence to assist the review committee in evaluating the innovativeness of your proposal. Examples of ways to document innovativeness
--the chair and dean letters of support need to address the uniqueness of the teaching/learning strategy within the department and school
--conference papers and journal articles that outline current practices or call for improved teaching and learning strategies in the relevant discipline
--an external colleague letter attesting to the innovativeness within the applicant's field regionally or nationally
--professional disciplinary organization's review of programs across the nation relevant to the innovation
--peer-reviewed conference presentations or publications by the faculty member making the submission (often, however, this step occurs after the person receives the Creative Teaching Award; many previous award recipients have presented their work nationally)
Briefly give credit to those people you know have had an impact on this innovative project in the prose and references.
3. Scope of the Innovation
Innovations that extend throughout a course will be most highly valued. Innovations that are used for a portion of a course are eligible, but will be less competitive. Past awards have been made for multi-course projects. The Creative Teaching Award is not intended for entire programs.
Please note that criterion #1 is, by far, the most important. The Review Committee will be looking for an analysis of student learning evidence relevant to your innovation on student learning.
Application Procedure
1. The following items constitute a complete application for a Duquesne University Creative Teaching Award:
- Application Cover Sheet (download Word version) with your signature and that of your Dean. If you have a Department Chair or Division Head, that person's signature is also required.
- Narrative, no longer than eight (8) double-spaced pages (12-point font) consisting of the six sections outlined below. Past review committee members attest that it is difficult to describe the innovation clearly and thoroughly in fewer pages, but that 8 is sufficient. Please use page numbers.
- Letter of Support from your Dean. If you have a Department Chair or Division Head, a Letter of Support from that person must also be included. These letters should address the three award criteria outlined above.
- Appendices. Additional information to support your application. This should be very selective and might consist, for example, of innovative assessments or tables of findings. All information in the Appendices must be summarized in the eight-page narrative, since reviewers may not read the Appendices in detail, but refer to them only for clarification of points made in the proposal narrative.
2. Narrative
You are writing to a group of faculty who don't know your field. Use common submission formats and explain terms and concepts.
The narrative (8 pages) should include the following sections:
- Course and Context in Which the Innovation was Introduced
- Motivation for the Innovation
- Learning Goals of the Innovation (in terms of what students are expected to know and do)
- Description of the Innovation (including scope)
- Evidence of the Innovation's Contribution to Student Learning (directly tied to each learning goal)
- Degree of Innovation (self-developed, adapted, borrowed)
Sample winning dossiers are available for you to peruse in CTE.
3. An original and ten copies of a complete submission must be received by the Center for Teaching Excellence, 20 Chatham Square (Murphy Building), by Tuesday, January 21, 2014 by 4:00 p.m. In addition, please submit a Word document to firstname.lastname@example.com
Please note that the application should be completed well before the deadline to allow sufficient time for your Dean (and Department Chair, if applicable) to review your application, sign it, and write a thoughtful letter of support.
Consultation and Samples
Faculty interested in submitting an award dossier are invited to attend the fall CTE workshop: a panel discussion of winners from the previous year and a session on how to collect and present evidence of student learning. Individual consultation is also available from CTE.
Samples of Creative Teaching Award Components
Sample Dossier - Jeff Evanseck, Chemistry & Biochemistry
Sample Dossier - Cynthia Walters & Yvonne Weideman, Nursing
Sample Dossier - Susan Goldberg, Psychology
Selection Process & Committee
A faculty committee of school representatives including primarily past Creative Teaching Award winners will be responsible for selecting the award winners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a control group? Do I need exact measures of the difference in learning by students who have experienced the innovation and those who have not?
You do not need to do quasi-scientific design (such as treatment and control groups; there are logistical and ethical issues here). That said, reviewers do find comparison data from previous courses or quasi-control groups useful. Sometimes, however, it is hard to compare previous learning with that of the innovation because the learning goals and competencies themselves are new.
Could I use my Student Evaluation Survey (SES) results as evidence for this award?
The standard SES items ask questions about instructors and how well they teach, give students feedback, make themselves available to students, etc. They do not focus on students' learning relevant to the innovation described in one's award submission. Sometimes students will mention in the open-ended comments aspects of the teaching/course that are relevant to the innovation. These comments can provide relevant indirect evidence from the students' point of view. It is not the same as an analysis of actual student performance (direct evidence).
Do I need Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for using my students as human subjects?
IRB is not necessary for applying for the Creative Teaching Award because it is internal to Duquesne. If, however, you plan to present or publish about the innovation beyond Duquesne University, be sure to allow sufficient time to obtain IRB Approval for using your students' learning data – prior to collecting it.
Whose signatures do we get if there is more than one department involved?
Get letters supporting your dossier from all the chairs and deans involved.

Chen Guangcheng lost his sight when he was very young, but he has been searching for lights all these years against darkness. He is a peasant living in Shangdong province, Dongshegu village.
Even though he is blind, he studied very hard to become a barefoot lawyer and has been giving legal advice to disable people since 1996. In 2005, he revealed the illegal forced abortion practice in Linyi County to Time magazine and the National Family Planning and Population Commission was forced to launch an investigation in August 2005. A month later, several Linyi officials were detained.
Chen disappeared in March 2006, and found out being detained by local government. Until June 2006, the local government annouced his formal arrest under the charge of destruction of property and assembling a crowd to disrupt traffic. He was sentenced to 4 years and 3 months imprisonment yesterday by the court.
Chen was on trial on August 18, however, on the eve of the trial, his lawyers were arrested by local police accused them of stealing from local gangster group. In the end, his lawyers could not represent him and the court designated another lawyer for him.
According to Chen's lawyers' defending statement (full version in Chinese), all the evidence against Chen was from 4 local villagers, who were detained and could not be reached by lawyers. Yet, their statement against Chen appeared to be contradictory. After the trail, the 4 villagers who took action to break the glass of a car were released.
As for the disruption of traffic, numerous villagers proved that it was the local police who took action to block the car rather than Chen.
The lawyers also pointed out that the the investigation were illegal. Chen were illegally detained from March-June 2006 and recieved death threat from investigation team. The local polices used all excuses to stop the lawyers from getting evidences. They were detained by polices several times from June 2005-August 2006, beaten by local gangsters and falsely charged of minor crime such as stealing. Chen was denied of his rights to meet his lawyers before the trial.
At the end of the statement, the lawyers pointed out that the local officials should be on trial, not Chen.
Prof. Jerome Cohen of NYU Law School commented that (quoted from the Chinese Law Prof Blog)
The extremely harsh sentence for Chen Guangcheng confirms not only the lawlessness and vindictiveness of the authorities of Linyi City but also the determination of the national Communist Party Political-Legal Committee to intimidate and suppress the country's rising generation of human rights activist-lawyers. There was no valid basis for the charges against Chen. That is why all legal procedures were thrown out the window in his "trial". Otherwise his lawyers, who were never allowed in the courtroom, would have exposed the process as the farce that it was. Moreover, even if this idealistic and peaceful blind man who has led an exemplary life had been genuinely guilty of the charges, as his wife pointed out, the sentence is wildly disproportionate to the alleged offenses. It is another shameful demonstration by the highest leaders in the country - not merely the Linyi authorities - that all those in China who take seriously the regime's policies and legislation trumpeting "a socialist rule of law" do so at their peril. Chen's is not an isolated case, of course, but is related to the current campaign against lawyers, journalists and others who stoke the fires of the nation's increasing rights consciousness. But Chen is a justifiably famous person whose case will become a worldwide symbol of injustice in China. I will take my Chen Guangcheng T-shirt to my opening class on "Law and Society in China".

A Tommy Fan ficition! (I'm sorry if this is a bit cheesy!)
Tommy stared blankly at the mirror, as always. I started the process of getting Tommy in his pajamas. One that i enjoyed, in a guilty way. I took off his tie, and button down shirt. I still had never understood why Mrs. Walker always dressed Tommy up. I shrugged his shirt off of his shoulders, and quietly appreciated his chest. I blushed to myself as I looked up at him. He was still looking into the mirror.
I bit my lip, as I unbuttoned his pants. I let them drop to his ankles, I mean, I was doing my job wasn't I? It was my job to get Tommy ready for bed when the Walkers went out. I couldn't resist myself, I suddenly shot my hand up and dragged my hand down his chest.
At that moment I swore that I heard Tommy groan. I kept my eyes on him as I moved my hand down to his boxers. The Walkers had always encouraged me to try and "wake" Tommy up, so I was doing them a favor.
I slowly pulled his boxers down and gasped. I wrapped my hand around his length and heard a moan. I quickly looked up at Tommy. His eyes were closed and his mouth was open.
"Tommy?" I whispered.
He didn't answer me but I could tell something had changed in him. I hesitated, but started to move my hand, stroking him steadily. He groaned once again and i watched a drop of sweat make its way down his chest. I moved my hand faster, and kissed his tip. His moans and pants got louder as my actions became faster.
At last, he finished. With a final groan of pleasure. I looked up at him, and him down at me.
"Who are you?" he asked.

La Cage aux folles (1978)
Alternate title: The Mad Cage, La Cage, Birds of a Feather
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
2 Readers' Reviews
August 11th, 20084:10 pm
It is possible that Mr. Canby is confusing this movie with another, as this is one of the most classic French comedies in the genre, and is absolutely side-splitting. I can only assume that Mr. Canby might have only watched the film over-dubbed, as that is the only reason for his off-target review. Most things Francis Veber touches are golden, this film possibly most of all. What makes "La Cage aux Folles" so good is not only its really, honestly funny laughs but the prevalent feeling of fun. It's not only super funny, but it's a lot of fun.
— alphabool, Irvington

I first saw this in the late 60s and could not understand Vincent Canby's hostile review. It is one of the funniest, lovingly presented films about the gay lifestyle in St. Tropez that I could imagine. It is a love story, simply and endearingly told without malice. In contrast, Robin William's remake is harsh, and despite its efforts to be sympathetic to gay life, strident. Go with the original and live with the subtitles.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). HPV is the virus that causes genital warts.
In addition to causing genital warts, an HPV infection can mean trouble for both girls and guys:
Both girls and guys can get HPV from sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex. Most people infected with HPV don't know they have it because they don't notice any signs or problems. People do not always develop genital warts, but the virus is still in their system and it could be causing damage. This means that people with HPV can pass the infection to others without knowing it.
Because HPV can cause problems like genital warts and some kinds of cancer, a vaccine is an important step in preventing infection and protecting against the spread of HPV.
That's why doctors recommend that all girls and guys get the vaccine at these ages:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the HPV vaccine as safe for both guys and girls ages 9 to 26 years old.
The HPV vaccine is given as three injections over a 6-month period. The vaccine does not protect people against strains of HPV that might have infected them before getting the vaccine. Being vaccinated before having sex for the first time is the most effective way to prevent HPV infection. But even if you have had sex, don't give up on getting the vaccine. It's still the best way to protect against strains of the virus that you may not have come in contact with.
The vaccine doesn't protect against all types of HPV. Anyone having sex should get routine checkups at a doctor's office or health clinic. Girls should get Pap smears when a doctor recommends it — usually around age 21 unless there are signs of a problem before that.
The HPV vaccine is not a replacement for using condoms to protect against other strains of HPV — and other STDs — when having sex.
Most of the side effects that people get from the HPV vaccine are minor. They may include swelling or pain at the site of the shot, or feeling faint after getting the vaccine. As with other vaccines, there is a small chance of an allergic reaction.
A few people have reported health problems after getting the shot. The FDA is monitoring the vaccine closely to make sure these are not caused by the vaccine itself.
Most people have no trouble with the vaccine. You can lessen your risk of fainting by sitting down for 15 minutes after each shot.
For people who are having sex, condoms offer some protection against HPV. Condoms can't completely prevent infections because hard-to-see warts can be outside the area covered by a condom, and the virus can infect people even when a partner doesn't have warts. Also, condoms can break.
The only way to be completely sure about preventing HPV infections and other STDs is not to have sex (abstinence).
Spermicidal foams, creams, and jellies have not been proven to protect against HPV or genital warts. If you have questions about the vaccine or are concerned about STDs, talk to your doctor.

Family Veterinary Clinic's New Home is Now Open!
Crofton, Gambrills and Bowie, thank you for allowing us to serve you for twenty seven years. In that time we have been known as the vet clinic "in the house", now it is our pleasure to introduce our new home. After much consideration for your ideas and concerns we believe that our new home will mix all of the "feel" that you have come to expect with all of the technology your loved ones deserve. The pictures say it all, a state of the art facility wrapped in the arms of a home. Enjoy!
At Family Veterinary Clinic, we take surgery very seriously. Our veterinarians have thirty years combined experience, fifteen serving the Crofton, Gambrills and Bowie areas. Both have extensive knowledge and skill in spays, neuters, cesarean section, cystotomy, exploratory laparotomy, resection and anastomosis, minor reconstruction, digit amputation, mass removals, tail docking/declawing, and eye surgeries. In addition to our primary veterinarians we also employ the services of Dr. Marilyn Kostolich a, Board Certified, surgeon who performs many other more complex surgeries e.g. ACL repairs. All of these surgeries are performed in our "state of the art" facility, outfitted with the latest surgical equipment.
Anyone considering having surgery performed on their loved one is faced with a daunting amount of information. Whether it comes from their veterinarian, an online source or friends who have had similar procedures, it can be confusing and sometimes even scary. The following are just a few guidelines when considering having a procedure done.
There are plenty of resources to familiarize you with the procedure prior to having it performed. Ask your veterinarian to explain what they will be doing; they should be willing to go over it in as much detail as you like. Go to reputable web-sites, such as ones sponsored by universities. (Click Here)
Like their human counterparts, veterinarians have become specialized, from general practitioners that you see every year to specialists that only work in one area. Just as with human medicine, it is important to get the right doctor and although most veterinarians are capable of performing surgeries such as spays and neuters it is a good idea to have a "Board Certified Surgeon" perform more complicated ones such as orthopedic repairs. (What is a Board Certified Surgeon?)
This old proverb could be expanded to say, "A clean, well equipped and maintained surgery is next to godliness". When general anesthesia is administered every measure should be taken, both pre and post operative, to increase the chances of a positive outcome. Most of the surgeries performed by your veterinarian call for general anesthesia. As is with the human medical field, there are standards and practices used to promote success. The veterinary field has adopted most of these standards, look for these when making your selection.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Nine Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (March 5 through March 11)
Date of News Release: 03/12/12
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Preliminary statistics* indicate that nine people died in nine separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, March 5 through Sunday, March 11, 2012.
All nine of the victims were traveling in motor vehicles. Seven were not wearing seat belts. Two of the fatalities were the result of crashes involving alcohol.
Single-fatality crashes occurred in each of the following counties: Allen, Breathitt, Graves, Hardin, Hart, Jefferson, Lewis, McCracken and Washington counties.
Through March 11, preliminary statistics* indicate that 116 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2012. This is five fewer than reported for this time period in 2011. Of the 104 motor vehicle fatalities, 60 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the two motorcycle fatalities, one was not wearing a helmet. One of the two ATV fatalities was not wearing a helmet. Eight pedestrians have been killed. A total of 18 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas. Crash data for this report is generated from the Kentucky Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

A new study by the University of Sussex finds that the repetition is important for little learners.
Dr. Jessica Horst and her researchers say that children who were read the same story three times back-to-back, instead of three different stories, actually retain 3.6 of the new words they've been introduced to instead of the 2.6 of the "variety" group."
Also, DUH.

MED18/388: Defining the Optimal Framework Required for the Development of Multimedia Web-based Training: The Mater Misericordiae Hospital / Institute of Healthcare Informatics experience
B Moran
Mater Misericordiae Hospital, Dublin, Ireland
ABSTRACTIntroduction: The provision of education, training and pedagogy, its associated science is being radically impacted by technological developments and changing methodologies in the imparting and acquisition of knowledge. This is resulting in the thrust and focus of higher education moving from a traditional university centred process to a more student-orientated one. The Internet's propensity for real-time interaction makes computer-based training, or distance learning, viable for accommodating medical education needs. In medicine many concepts are visual or structural and in many cases clinical reasoning is based on spatial abstraction of structures. Incorporating these principles, the Institute developed the concept of the Virtual Study Centre (VSC), utilising methodologies which take advantage of the developments in web based computing and communication infrastructures to specifically address the difficulties associated with existing methods of distance learning.
Methods: The VSC is a 'hypermedia' learning environment, which offers a more flexible approach to learning for both producers and users of educational material. It is achieved through distributed student access to networked learning resources. A project team was established to define the specific models of learning scenarios where synchronous interaction played an important role. Utilising an assessment matrix based on the requirement outcomes of the learning scenarios, it evaluated products available in the web-based training area for quality, extent and complexity in respect to multimedia design, interactivity and overall ease of use. Each product had to comply with their criteria under the following headings: technical composition, infra-structural design, regional and cultural constraints. A compromise in the quality and speed of audio and video was not an option. To provide the best we expected the best from the products so that we could provide a well-crafted teaching system, which could be used throughout the medical profession.
Results: We have identified the optimal model based standards required in software tool-sets to develop and support multimedia web-based training.
Discussion: A fundamental element in the provision of distance education is interaction. This paper illustrates the considerable deficit in the availability of quality media-rich tool-sets on the market, which enables optimum interaction. It details the research undertaken in the provision of the levels of interaction necessary to provide a fully integrated web-based education facility and the difficulties of tailoring a traditionally taught course for the web. It develops and explores the issues surrounding the monitoring, examination and identification of students and defines an approach to underpin optimum tool-set assessment and utilisation.

Scarlett Johansson is one of the best actresses in Hollywood today. She plays an alien in her next film, the highly anticipated Under the Skin, and her performance is said to be daring, artistic, and unlike anything we've ever seen from the movie star. In celebration of this, below are Johansson's best performances ranked from least memorable to most memorable. For brevity's sake, the list is limited to 10 of Johansson's roles, and we can only imagine that this is just the beginning of a remarkable career in the movies.

World War II and exile
From this time onward Mann's imaginative effort was directed to the novel, scarcely interrupted by the charming personal novella Early Sorrow or by Mario and the Magician, a novella that, in the person of a seedy illusionist, symbolizes the character of Fascism. His literary and cultural essays began to play an ever-growing part in elucidating and communicating his awareness of the fragility of humaneness, tolerance, and reason in the face of political crisis. His essays on Freud (1929) and Wagner (1933) are concerned with this, as are those on Goethe (1932), who more and more became for Mann an exemplary figure in his wisdom and balance. The various essays on Nietzsche document with particular poignancy Mann's struggle against attitudes once dear to him. In 1930 he gave a courageous address in Berlin, Ein Appell an die Vernunft (An Appeal to Reason), appealing for the formation of a common front of the cultured bourgeoisie and the Socialist working class against the inhuman fanaticism of the National Socialists. In essays and on lecture tours in Germany, to Paris, Vienna, Warsaw, Amsterdam, and elsewhere during the 1930s, Mann, while steadfastly attacking Nazi policy, often expressed sympathy with socialist and communist principles in the very general sense that they were the guarantee of humanism and freedom.
When Hitler became chancellor early in 1933, Mann and his wife, on holiday in Switzerland, were warned by their son and daughter in Munich not to return. For some years his home was in Switzerland, near Zürich, but he traveled widely, visiting the United States on lecture tours and finally, in 1938, settling there, first at Princeton, and from 1941 to 1952 in southern California. In 1936 he was deprived of his German citizenship; in the same year the University of Bonn took away the honorary doctorate it had bestowed in 1919 (it was restored in 1949). From 1936 to 1944 Mann was a citizen of Czechoslovakia. In 1944 he became a U.S. citizen.
After the war, Mann visited both East Germany and West Germany several times and received many public honours, but he refused to return to Germany to live. In 1952 he settled again near Zürich. His last major essayson Goethe (1949), Chekhov (1954), and Schiller (1955)are impressive evocations of the moral and social responsibilities of writers.

Why Should A Child Take Nutritional SupplementsIn Dr. Murray Clarke's clinic as a homeopathic pediatrician, his efforts are dedicated to understanding what promotes health. This includes what causes, what prevents, as well as what heals the diverse conditions affecting our children. Careful nurturing through the formative years creates the basis for good health throughout life. On the physical level, this means a healthful diet and nutritional supplements.
A child who does not receive enough of all the essential vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids will be much more prone to a wide variety of illnesses. Dr. Murray Clarke developed the ChildLife line of nutritional supplements to increase awareness about these deficiencies and their consequences, and to provide all the necessary ingredients in a great tasting and readily available form. The body and mind developed during childhood create the foundation for the rest of your child's life. It is Dr. Murray Clarke's hope that ChildLife Essentials will play an ongoing role in developing and maintaining many healthful and hopeful lives.

- What tools can I use to improve my writing?
- How will I know when my writing is better?
Today, we finish up our two part series on writing effectively. If you missed last week's cast, go back and listen to it now. Why get only half the fun?
As a quick reminder, remember the word "SEVENTEEN" appeared in last week's introduction text (which as you may recall, I read word for word on the podcast). One note - in today's cast, Mark makes reference to THAT introductory blog post. Again, he is referring to LAST WEEK's introduction. Please keep that in mind as you listen.

Here's a BEHAVIOR you can do
Here's a BEHAVIOR you can do today to start editing your writing. When responding to an email that doesn't require a "right-now†response, write your reply, but instead of pressing Send, leave it in your Draft folder for a few hours. I guarantee when you open and review it, you'll find ways to make it more effective (most likely, you'll find that the point you're trying to make is buried a few sentences down!). So: review, edit, then send. You'll be trading a few hours of urgency for a whole lot of effectiveness!

Thank you. Two superb and casts with
Thank you. Two superb and casts with immediate use for managers. You might have to wait 3 weeks to get one-on-ones into a calendar, but you can improve your writing immediately.
Technical environments challenge managers. IT particularly is a syllable-rich environment. It's also like any other business : lack of clarity leads to mistakes. Mistakes take time to fix and cost real money. Following the principles in your podcasts will improve managers' clarity.
I like the clarity index. It's simple. Two other useful resources to improve your writing:
1. BullFighter: http://www.fightthebull.com/bullfighter.asp
Plugs into Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Nothing is more humbling than a Bullfighter analysis on a piece of prose you rushed out.
Warning: it's a lot less simple than the clarity index, but it does also test for jargon use. For amusement, try running a press release through it.
2. The Plain English Campaign: http://www.plainenglish.co.uk/
Brought to the rest of us by those who invented the language, and still own the copyright, the Brits. OK, technically, the English.
As well as championing and awarding plain English in all media, they also present awards for various crimes against the language. A fellow Australian, Germaine Greer, was a joint recipient in 2006 for a column in the Guardian: "'The first attribute of the art object is that it creates a discontinuity between itself and the unsynthesised manifold".
Yes, quite. I'd comment on the "inaccessibility" of such language, but I wouldn't be putting SEVENTEEN at the end of my writing, would I? :-)
Mark and Michael, I enjoyed the last
Mark and Michael,
I enjoyed the last two podcasts on writing. I had two quick additions.
Acronyms are confusing to me because they often are new to me and too often are not explained. They seem to be created faster than they are spelled out. I prefer to spell out the term the first time it appears in a document (even e-mail) and then put the abbreviation in parentheses. I do this for all but the most well known acronyms or for e-mails to closest associates who I know understand the acronym from previous conversation.
Second: short emails that are high on your clarity index always seem less harsh to me if the words "please†and "thank you†appear somewhere in them. Also, opening and closing salutations to e-mail make me more likely to read and accept the message. If you are writing to me, the letter better be addressed to me.
I find funny that so many people
I find funny that so many people don't consider good writing as an essential communication skill. When I was promoted from a programmer to a manager title, my director told me my writing skills weighted a lot in the balance. My native language is French, so many of the tips you gave didn't directly apply to me. But a good knowledge of the grammar rules about punctuation will give you a very similar result to the word counting trick in most latine languages.
Also, fast typing save me a lot of time in a week. To any manager making heavy use of emails and still typing with two fingers: take a class or download a training software. You will find yourself not trying to walk around email/documentation task, but going through it faster, and moving to something else.

Yes,A very good topic. Writing is important for me.
Hello, I was really intrigued by the
I was really intrigued by the concept of a "score" on my writing, so I looked up the writing clarity index (Flesch Reading Ease) you referenced: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flesch-Kincaid_Readability_Test
In word, to turn this measurement feature on, choose Tools // Options // Spelling & Grammar // and check the "Show readability statistics" box. To check a word document, choose Tools // Spelling and Grammar, and after the spell check it will give you a pop up with the rating and also convert that score into an approximate grade level for reading. One of my documents had a 16.8 so I suppose that means 4th year university? LOL.
Thanks for sharing - it was fun to learn about. I'm working my way through all your podcasts and appreciate the time you take to explain the skills and concepts. I've been evangelizing your podcasts all over the place! Well done!

Tuesday night's 66-64 win over Clemson was big in a lot of ways …
1) Tech showed consistency from game-to-game it hadn't during a well-documented four-game stretch against Georgia, Duke, Virginia and North Carolina.
2) Tech won a game on a last-second possession, providing itself another mental reminder of how much different this team is than last year's.
3) Tech held serve on its home court, and is now 2-1 at Alexander in conference play, (1-1 on the road), something that's so important going forward as the ACC teams start beating each other up. (Last night was a prime example of the physical toll!)
But something else occurred to me too, as the frenzy settled. Yes even for a writer covering the wackiness, the heart rate had to return to normal. It's cliché, that thing we always hear about good teams having "different players step up every night" (I know, I know, stop me if you've heard it before.) But I think it's cliché because it's true. And it dawned on me last night that in the last three big wins for Tech, it's been somebody else for the Yellow Jackets.
Against Duke: Gani Lawal scored 21 points in 23 minutes, on 8-of-9 shooting and collected nine rebounds.
Against North Carolina: Iman Shumpert scored 30 points in 36 minutes, on 10-of-17 shooting from the floor and 7-of-9 free throws.
Against Clemson: Derrick Favors scored 17 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, blocked three shots and had one steal in 31 minutes.
And that effort for Favors, was with, as Coach Paul Hewitt said afterward, leaving some points on the floor. He went 1-for-5 at the free throw line and missed a layup he should have dunked.
Yes, those are your three McDonald's All-Americans, the most talented guys on the floor. You've also got Zachery Peacock demanding the ball in the final seconds and playing like a senior.
So the next step for this team would be to see one of its complementary guys lead the way. Yes, but who?
Brian Oliver is not afraid to pull the trigger, we've seen that, and he's getting more comfortable and secure with the ball in ACC play. Glen Rice Jr. showed last night that he's taking the next step and man, does he play with aggressiveness and enthusiasm, to go along with the basketball smarts, Hewitt complimented last night. Can Mfon Udofia get hot in an ACC game, like he did with 26 points against Siena?
Could it be one of those three guys? I'm sure you guys would settle for another game against Florida State Sunday where the two big post men had double-doubles, Shumpert played a good floor game (6 assists, 3 turnovers, two steals, eight rebounds), and the whole team played solid defense.
Hey, I stink at predicting. I'll leave that to y'all!
Josh Smith on Favors
After seeing that Hawks' Josh Smith was at the Clemson game last night, I was curious what he thought about Favors. And instead of scrambling over there at halftime (hey, I was talking to some other folks I needed to) I leaned on my new AJC colleague and Hawks writer Michael Cunningham for a little help. He just came through bigtime.
Here's what Smith had to say: " I know him. That's my little partner. He's young. He's still got a lot of growth left. That will come with playing time. I think he will get better as the season progresses. He's a walking double-double, I will say that. He needs the opportunity to showcase his skills a little more on the blocks."
Favors honor
Kudos to Derrick Favors who is getting his No. 34 jersey retired by South Atlanta High School on Tuesday night. Coach Michael Reddick said he'll be honored at halftime of South Atlanta's 7 p.m. boys game. I'm sure it's a proud moment for the seemingly sort of bashful kid.
Even without Favors, South Atlanta is off to a great season. The Hornets are 14-1 and ranked No. 1 in Class AAA.
Shumpert's finger
Shumpert had an ice pack on his left hand last night after the game and said he hurt his middle finger reaching in trying to strip Trevor Booker, and by the end of the game "it was throbbing." Considering he finished the game, and that Tech will have had four days off between the Clemson game and Sunday's game at FSU, I doubt it will be an issue, but I'll keep you posted.
Hewitt said after the game that Shumpert was suffering from cramps at the end of the game last night. I'm guessing that's why he wasn't on the floor that play when Udofia traveled around the 30-second mark. There wasn't a guy who didn't have to dig deep late in that game. For that reason it was fun to watch, even if it got a little ugly.

Glad to see multiple players step up when we need them! Deandre Bell also had a decent game, hitting a clutch baseline jumper towards the end of the game and also hustling on defense. With more consistent play from the freshman guards I think we could build bigger leads.
Was the finger the reason Mfon was handling the rock at the end of the game instead of Shumpert?
January 20th, 2010
6:35 pm
Nice column Carroll. You covered all the bases.
Seeing Favors have a big game was a nice change. Shumpert was off on his shooting. But I thought, from the TV, that the team showed more chemistry the last two games. The defense was really nice in both games.
Has Hewitt now settled on the 8 guys who play? Everyone knows his role?
January 20th, 2010
8:05 pm
Good column Carroll. Udofia seems to me like he's pressing/trying to do too much. I think he'll settle down soon and start to contribute more.

Congratulations to Coach Hewitt on a very nice win as the Yellow Jackets keep the momentum going in the ACC.

Favors looked really good against Clemson. His game is definitely improving as the season progresses. I've seen it mentioned that he could be a top-5 pick in this year's draft (and I'm pretty certain he's leaving Tech after this year). Right now, the bottom 5 teams in the NBA are Indiana, Philadelphia, Golden State, Minnesota and New Jersey. The next 5 teams (which are all within 3 games of Indiana) are New York, Milwaukee, Sacramento, Detroit and Washington.
I think Detroit wouldn't be a horrible team to play for, with Gordon, Hamilton, Villanueva and Tayshaun. I think Golden State would be a fun place to play, and they have a nice young nucleus of Ellis, Stephen Curry, Biedrins, Azubuike, and Tech's own Anthony Morrow. Minnesota sports Al Jefferson, Jonny Flynn and Kevin Love. But what would be really interesting is the Knicks signing LeBron and tanking enough gamed to pick up Favors in the draft.
Sucks that we'll only see him at Alexander Memorial Coliseum for this 1 year, but it'll be fun following the local kid's career, which should be a long one.

10:06 pm
It was a good win, but I would feel that the Duke win was better. Clemson and GT left way too much on the floor. Either team could say that they did not play their best. The point is when offered a chance to win GT floundered, then clemson floundered, then GT stepped up and won when they were offered the chance again.
I am a Clemson fan and am cautiously optimistic about the team, but it is a long ACC season. We will know more about each team when they play again at Clemson. I feel we should have won, but I am sure any fan feels that way about their team.
My only point to GT fans – Hewitt better start winning consisently. If Oliver Purnell had the athletic and basketball talent that GT has had over the last 5 years, we would have won the ACC. You have got to admit that GT has underperformed. Some might profess it is like Clemson in football.

North Carolina is struggling quite a bit this season. They had a recruiting class that was rated similarly to Tech's last year and a much more highly rated class the year before compared to Tech. Both Tech and North Carolina have 7 fresh and soph's on their roster. Although this is the first year NC has struggled, the point is that even a coach like Roy Williams can have trouble with a very young team no matter how talented it is.

gt is lame in all sports. gt men's basketball can win the rest of their games but they will lose in the 1st round in the acc tournament and 1st round in the ncaa. so enjoy your "success" but it will mean nothing at the end of the season.
Oh yeah by the way…. UGA 73 – gt 66!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

Bell is a class act from some rough parts in southern cal. he also contributes to the youth there, and WILL be or will show that he's our "Mario West." I would love to see Oliver, Rice Jr., Miller, etc. on the floor more, but i am now believing in CPW that he is the X FACTOR. I am getting strokes and certainly nearly throwing my glass on the screen as usual, but I'm more than satisfied with CPW's all around coaching since the NCAA championship game(yes… our last great "winning season"). His half court set ups are much better due to an overall better acc and big guard in Shumpert(definite first rounder).
We stilllllllll need adjustments in the inbound's pass.
I hope we go all the way to the final four(capable of with CPH), but what will happen next season? We got to ask with Lawal, Favors, and most likely Shumpert gone, and not including the "X FACTOR" in Bell.
Either way,

Does Tech even run any offensive plays? They looked like a rag-tag street pick-up game…bodies flying all over…very hard to watch…if you appreciate nice offense…as I've said beforeTech would be great this year with a mature "lights out" point guard to manage this craziness…Somebody needs to really take control…this (type) of play only wins games because of the defense…Honestly, i've never seen so many dumb passes and turnovers… Go Jackets!

Thank you Carroll, and add my applause for your reporting that others have given.
As to the cliche about someone new stepping up, it is natural in sports for many reasons, some of them: (1) the opposing coach is always looking for the best matchups to stop the other team's player(s) and sometimes the opposing coach succeeds; it then becomes necessary for someone to step up; (2) players are human beings, in this case, kids transitioning from teen years to adult years; while everyone tries to bring their "A" game everyone night, no one can actually do that.

We shot 11-22 from the free throw line, didn't we? That is awful. All the empty seats, too, should be an indication that we have given up on Hewitt. Unranked Wake Forest won at UNC by 13 and never relinquished their lead. Puts our win in perspective. NC St beating Duke more then shows those wins mean next to nothing. So much talent on this team – so sad how Hewitt can coach them into being really great.

Tech fans are fairweather fans. I especially love the part about, "…not to hate, BUT.." LOL
This is from an Alabama rag:
"FAN SUPPORT: What did Peek love most about playing for Alabama?
The school's fan support.
"We love them to death," Peek said. "They're fanatics and they're fanatical, and that's why I love them. I came from Georgia Tech, where – you know, no hating – but they had fair-weather fans. Unless they had a big game, they really didn't want to show up. … That's why I love this place so much. It has so much heritage and tradition. They almost live and die with you every Saturday. And that's why you love them to death. At the end of the day, we almost want to win those games as much for them."

UGA Women beat Number 3 vols tonight while Georgia tek beat Savannah State.
Typical cupcakes for Georgia tek in EVERY SPORT.
This Sport, Georgia tek LOST to UGA as well 50-56.
AJ-C has NO ARTICLE ON YOUR GAME AGAINST SAVANNAH STATE TONIGHT.
UGA Lady Bulldogs are 70-15 against current ACC teams, mostly on the Strength of Andy Landers 29-3 Record against Georgia tek, including 12-0 in Athens.
15 times Andy Landers has beat Pat Summitt. No coach has done better against Pat Summitt than Andy Landers.
18 times the 2 teams have met with both teams ranked in the Top 10 in the Nation. The vols beat Andy Landers for the National Championship Game in 1996.
53-50, as Andy Landers teaches Defense.
Vincent J. Dooley, as UGA Athletics Director, hired Andy Landers as UGA Lady Bulldogs' Head Women's Basketball Coach April 1979.
26 NCAA Tournaments for UGA's Andy Landers is 2nd Best in The Nation, including 5 Final 4 for Andy Landers.
25 Wins a season and this is the 29th Season at UGA for Andy Landers, who is now over 800 Wins in his Career and already named to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.
He Graduates ALL of his Players. All.
19 of his former players have played in the WNBA.
429 weeks Andy Landers has been Ranked in the AP Poll, which is 3rd Best in the Nation.
And, tonight Andy Landers beat Pat Summitt for the 15th time head-to-head.
Runner-Up in 1985 and 1996, the 5 Final 4s, 10 Elite 8s, and 16 Sweet 16s, Andy Landers has been ultra successful as a motivator and as a recruiter, along with his main prowess of teaching Defense.
Only 3 teams have done better since 1979 than Andy Landers' teams, taking the Final AP Poll Rankings and comparing them across all teams.
11 SEC Championships or SEC Tournament Championships for Andy Landers at UGA, and that is 2nd Best in The SEC, the Nation's Premier Women's Basketball Conference forever – like Football.
Janet Harris, 4-Time Consensus All-America.
Teresa Edwards won her 1st Gold Medal in 1984, and is the 1st Woman or Man to compete in 5 Olympics in Basketball. Teresa Edwards Won her 4th Gold Medal in 2000.
Katrina McClain competed in 3 Olympics with Teresa Edwards winning the Gold Medal in 1988 and 1996 together as the Backbone of the U.S. Olympics Team.
Recently the vols have had Superior Basketball Teams under Pat Summitt, but the games were not decided until the final basket really ever in the history between Andy Landers and Pat Summitt.
National Coach of the Year 4 times, Andy Landers is a lot of fun to watch coach.
31 All-America UGA Players Andy Landers recruited here.
57 All-SEC Academic Honor Roll, Andy Landers' Student-Athletes are much better than Georgia tek's in the classroom, and always have been. These 57 All-SEC Academic Honor Roll players for Andy Landers are in fact his 57 Best Players.
They all Graduate.
Andy Landers so far this year has beat Georgia tek again (he's Never Lost them in Athens, and sports a haughty 29-3 Record Head-to-Head against Georgia tek), Oklahoma, Rutgers, Virginia, Kentucky and Pat Summitt's Tennessee Lady vols, and all 6 of them are Top 25 teams.
He will play another 10 Top 25 teams before the end of the season, and 4 of those are coming up now against 4 Ranked SEC Teams.
We don't have the typical Andy Landers' Guards this season, but they are a terror on Defense and push the ball underneath very well to The Bigs. They just can't hit the broad side of a barn.
His inside players however, have been stellar. Ask the vols, who had lost only 1 game all season long and were Ranked Number 3. Andy Landers was Number 8. Those 2 will change places after tonight.
When Jasmine James makes a basket or Ashley Houts, Andy Landers will have a team like his teams of the past and we shall make a run through The NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament yet again this season.
Porsa Phillips and Angel Robinson make a great duo underneath for Andy Landers. Meredith Mitchell is a complete player. They all 5 play Defense as well as any Andy Landers has ever taught. It is really all he teaches. They get it. Tonight, for example, we forced the vols into 23 turnovers, none more crucial than their last.
Andy Landers' Lady Bulldogs and Pat Summitt's Lady vols are The Class of The SEC.
The Win tonight was in HDTV on ESPN2, the host of the NCAA Women's Tournament. The SEC Tournament this year is at Gwinnett Arena in Duluth Georgia.
Tennessee and Georgia both could be Number 1 Seeds.
The SEC expects at this point to put 7 SEC Teams in The NCAA Tournament, with only 5 SEC teams not making the Big Dance while the Big East expects to have 8 who will not make the Big Dance.
Notre Dame, you should note, does Consider Itself in the Big East Conference. The BCS gives them a bye playing their soft lousy easy schedules in football, but has changed the rules to favor Notre Dame alone.
It would mean so much to The Lady Dawgs if we would get off our butts and build a replacement for The Stegosaurus.
Playing at Stegeman tonight, Andy Landers on the season, is now 18-1.
January 21st, 2010
11:29 pm
Who the hell is Andy Landers?
January 22nd, 2010
6:15 am
Andy Landers it the guy who when he beat Georgia tek on your court last year, your coach would not shake his hand. He is 28-3 vs. Georgia tek in basketball, including 12-0 at Stegeman.
Al Groh is a 66 year old, old coot, who cannot identify with 18-year old nerds. He is washed up. Your Defense was a LOT WORSE than UGA's, yet he interviewed for a coach and ends up with a guy Georgia tek can AFFORD with your # 48 attendance, having to give away 4 Coca-Colas, 2 hot dogs, 2 bags of boiled peanuts and a parking pass to sell a ticket.
It was obvious that since the day Paul Johnson FIRED JON TENUTA that he needed a Defensive Coordinator to replace him. He started interviewing one long before Coach Richt finally had to cave in to our pressure to get rid of our D.C. which then took him 4 top guys all far better than Al Groh and then to 11 year NFL career man Todd Grantham, who by the way is worth and therefore paid 3 times what Al Groh gets at Georgia tek.
8 of 9 in Coach Richt Era is assured.
30-24 while you played 6 games against teams NOT EVEN IN A BOWL GAME, yet LOST 3, and the Academics of your Football team are WAY WORSE under Paul Johnson than they are at UGA.
You are Losers.
And, you are really POOR SPORTS, Georgia tek fans, both of you.
January 22nd, 2010
8:48 am
Carroll, you are doing a great job, lots of information and enthusiasm.
I still see a lot of Ground Hog Day, lousy free throw shooting and too many turnovers.
UNC and Duke are down this year so the ACC is wide open. We don't have a coach who can win it.
Maybe we can make the finals of the ACC tournament but turnovers and f/t's will be our doom once again.
The NCAA's 2nd round elimination by a school only few have heard of.

The FSU game will be a good measure of how much we've improved since we've already played them this year. They are #1 in the nation in opponent's FG % though, so expect a tough defense.

Girl Scout travels path of service with destinations trip to Costa Rica
HOUSTON (August 2010) – Girl Scout Senior Lauren R. traveled to Costa Rica July 19-Aug. 3 on the "Costa Rica Service Challenge" destinations trip. destinations are travel adventures for Girl Scouts ages 11-17 that take place all over the world and give girls the chance to meet remarkable girls, develop leadership skills, gain confidence and enjoy valuable learning opportunities.
"I applied for this destination because I had such an amazing experience last year with Costa Rica Outward Bound," says Lauren, a sophomore at St. Agnes Academy.
To go on a destinations trip, girls must submit an application, two personal references and an essay explaining why they want to participate in the event and what skills or talents they can contribute to the group. Girl Scouts can apply for up to four trips per year. A limited number of girls are chosen for each destination, and no more than two girls from one Girl Scout council are chosen to encourage attendees to make new friends. After being chosen for a destination, Girl Scouts are responsible for raising the funds to go on the trip through selling cookies, money earned at a job or personal savings.
At the beginning of the "Costa Rica Service Challenge" destination, Dana visited the capital city of San Jose where she hiked in the dense rainforests and cloud forests. After several days of trekking and camping into some of most remote parts of the country, Dana lived with indigenous families, learned about their unique way of life and helped them with a range of the activities that allow them to survive.
Hiking out of the rainforest, Dana visited Costa Rica's western coast, home to some of the best rafting rivers and surfing beaches in the world as well as more opportunities to make a positive impact though service. Here Dana spent several days learning how to catch waves, ride the rapids and help preserve the local environment.
Toward the end of the adventure, she braved the rapids during a day of whitewater rafting and experienced the vibrant culture of San Jose through visits to museums and a 100-year-old marketplace.
Girl Scouts were introduced to Costa Rica Outward Bound's unique approach to outdoor education and personal development. Weaved into all activities were discussions and meetings about leadership. Girls explored how the challenges they meet in and out of the Costa Rican wilderness helped confront other challenges that life presents.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

I was a little relucant at first, because I thought the matierial would be too thin. Not at all. The fabric is thick enough to cover any undergarments well, but I do recommend seamless undergarments to keep the look smooth. I am also pretty busty and this dress has some extra padding in the bust area that I am having removed. Other than that, I only need to hem it a couple of inches to keep it from dragging on the ground. So excited!!! January 21, 2014

A Mason County man will serve a year and a half in federal prison for dumping sewage into a lake, U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin recently announced.
Frank Zuspan, 61, pleaded guilty in September 2012 to dumping a pollutant into waters of the United States without a permit.
Zuspan admitted that in 2010, he took a 2,400-gallon sewage hauling truck to a Mason County property and illegally dumped the sewage into a lake that connected to the Ohio River.
According to the news release, Zuspan admitted to doing this on several occasions between November 2010 and February 2011.
"You can't pour raw sewage into your neighbors' water supply," Goodwin said in the release. "It's dangerous, and it's illegal, for obvious reasons. People should know better."
The Environmental Protection Agency conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Erik S. Goes and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Perry McDaniel handled the prosecution.
