McCLELLANVILLE Steven Young finally broke down, weeping in the principals office. It was a first for the big, cheery kid so many classmates relied on for hope in this tight-knit community.
Steven Young
HOMETOWN: AwendawHIGH SCHOOL: Lincoln HS (enrollment 138) in McClellanvilleFOOTBALL: 5-11, 275-pound redshirt freshman defensive tackleMAJOR: General engineeringWORKS: Weekends as a dishwasher and busboy at T.W. Graham & Co. in McClellanville
Lincoln High School annually has some of the lowest academic statistics in Charleston County, but Young excelled in the classroom. He is now a sophomore engineering major at Clemson.
Chick-fil-A Bowl
WHO: No. 14 Clemson (10-2, 7-1 ACC) vs. No. 9 LSU (10-2, 6-2 SEC) WHERE: AtlantaWHEN: 7:30 p.m. todayTV: ESPNLINE: LSU by 5
That tenacity, that resilience, said Dr. Yvonne Commodore, the Lincoln principal. Steven has always had a mission. Nothing and no one are going to stop him.
Never mind that Lincoln had perhaps the worst high school team in South Carolina in 2010, Youngs senior year. He thought he could play college football. He wasnt recruited to Clemson but made the team as a walk-on defensive tackle, and appeared in two games this season.
To take high school engineering classes, Young commuted each school day, driving a 1999 gray Dodge Durango 30 miles down Highway 17 to Mount Pleasant. He went from Lincoln, one of the smallest public schools in the state (138 students), to a new socio-economic world at Wando High School (3,800 students).
Barbara Young, a single mom with four children, got help from her sister Betty and saved just enough money to pay cash for Stevens truck at an auction.
But, so close to college dreams, Young found a roadblock gas money.
Stevens heart was aching, Commodore said. He confided that he was having trouble. He also talked about how difficult it was with no dad in the picture, about how he was worried about his mom working so hard. But before he left the office, he said, Dr. Commodore, Im going to be a better person for this.
In this tiny Atlantic Coast inlet town known for shrimp, Spanish moss and hospitality, some Lincoln High School sponsors quietly volunteered to pay for gas.
Commodore plans to watch the Chick-fil-A Bowl tonight. Young probably wont see action when No. 14-ranked Clemson faces No. 9 LSU at the Georgia Dome. Then again, the 5-11, 275-pound Awendaw resident already has defied odds, demographics and football gravity.
Im just a focused and determined guy, said Young, 20. No one knows how hard youre willing to work except yourself and God. You can do anything you put your mind to, but you just have to work hard.
Engineering classes are among the most challenging at Clemson. Young, who wants to be an electrical engineer, said he has time for four or five hours of sleep per night.
Im good at math, he said. But this math is very, very hard.
Unlike 85 of his Clemson teammates, Young doesnt have an athletic scholarship. His aid package is a patchwork of grants and loans. There are financial gaps.
I need money to wash clothes, things like that, Young said.
So he works available weekends washing bits of seafood and rice off plates at McClellanvilles most popular restaurant, T.W. Graham & Co.
How many bowl-bound college football players do you think worked last weekend between the end of a postseason practice schedule and kickoff? Young did, eagerly grabbing holiday shifts among the old oaks on Pinckney Street.
I feel like I can set a great example for kids at Lincoln, Young said. Every time I go home, I go straight to work.
Teachers drop by T.W. Graham & Co. when Young is working in the busy kitchen. They sometimes bring high school or middle school students.
Some of the kids ask how they can be like me or get to Clemson, Young said. I just let them know you have to work hard, that nothing is easy. Trust me, it has not been easy for me.
Only nine players
The Lincoln Yellow Jackets had a roster including as few as 15 players during Youngs junior and senior seasons.
Steven never got discouraged, said Michael Donald, the Lincoln head coach when Young was a senior. He wasnt so much an outspoken leader, but he led by example.
The greatest opportunity to triumph over incredible adversity came one chilly autumn night, a three-hour bus ride south of the Lincoln locker room. Even for Lincoln, what happened in the 2009 regular-season finale at Hardeeville High School was humbling.
It was their homecoming, Young said. We had some guys get hurt. We finished the game with nine players.
Lincoln lost, 47-12, to cap a winless season.
At the end of the game, the Hardeeville coach came over to us, Young recalled. He said, You all tried so hard; you are such a determined team. We all prayed together. It felt like we won the game.
Again as a senior, Young started on both sides of the line.
Again, Lincoln lost every game.
The high school football website maxpreps.com ranked Lincoln No. 236 dead last among South Carolina teams in 2010, and 14,489th among 14,494 teams ranked nationally.
Just 13 months later, a wide-eyed Young had willed his way into Clemsons Orange Bowl traveling party. He ate lavish team meals at the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa on South Ocean Drive in Hollywood, Fla. The glassy, space-age structure towers above the beach.
I couldnt believe it, Young said. I came from a (Class) 1A high school and we were winless, and here I am in Miami playing football at a major conference school getting ready for a big bowl game.
The Tigers went jet skiing.
Yeah, jet skiing, Young said. I had never been jet skiing in my life. I just took it all in.
Young wears an orange wristband he got from Clemson kicker Chandler Catanzaro. On one side it says Psalm 27 and on the other No Fear.
Mommy hero
Barbara Young works seven days a week at Seewee Restaurant on Highway 17 in Awendaw.
Monday through Saturday as a cook, she said. On Sundays, I wait tables.
She works Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights as a cook at T.W. Graham & Co.
Just the two jobs now, but for a while it was three.
I didnt stay at Waffle House long, Barbara Young said, because I have to help out with my mother.
She beams at the mention of Steven.
He still calls me mommy, Barbara Young said. He tells everybody, If my mommy can work two jobs, I can do whatever it takes.
Young plans to use his engineering degree to take care of his mother. Goals and achievement run in the family. Steven, who also draws inspiration from grandparents on his mothers side, has two older sisters. Martha is a teacher at Daniel Island Academy and Tasha is a cosmetologist. Younger sister Jessica is a Wando High School senior.
Steven could have transferred to Wando to make his high school life less hectic. Dr. Commodore said that would have been the prudent decision.
But Steven insisted on graduating from Lincoln, she said. He said, Its just something I want to do.
Rudy or not
It happens that Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney overcame a rough childhood, made the Alabama football team as a walk-on wide receiver and helped the Crimson Tide win the 1992 national title.
Twenty years later, Swinney has a soft spot for walk-ons in general, Young in particular.
I am so impressed with Steven, Swinney said. To take what youve been given and try to make the best of it, thats the message we try to get across to all of our players.
Young was a longshot when he asked his high school coach to phone Clemson and ask about a tryout. Though 25 would-be Tigers showed up on a hot August day in 2011, Clemson Director of Player Personnel Mike Dooley announced he needed only five. Young got the call that night.
Getting to play two snaps in Clemsons 41-7 victory over Furman on Sept. 15 and one snap in a 45-10 rout of Maryland on Nov. 10 surprised Young, who is a redshirt freshman athletically.
I wanted to get on the field and I was determined, Young said. But I didnt think it would come so early; Im still learning and Im still young. Playing at Death Valley was just a great experience. The first time, it was like, I want to do everything right. But my first snap went better than I thought; I didnt mess up. The second time I played, I ran their center over. It made me think, I can do this.
Swinney got a kick out of watching Clemson starters cheer for Young.
Some coaches dont even let (walk-ons) dress out for games, Swinney said. They might only play a few plays and rarely, but its good for team morale. To see the faces of their teammates and their excitement, thats fun. And we all have the greatest respect for Steven.
Alphabetically, Steven Young is the very last player on the Clemson roster.
But hes first in other ways, and in the hearts of family and friends all across the brackish water from Awendaw to McClellanville.
Im at one of the top engineering schools in the nation and Im playing football, Young said. Thats made me more determined.
If Youngs story sounds like a movie, thats because before there was Steven Young, there was Rudy, the walk-on player at Notre Dame who got a sack on the last play of the last game of his senior year. Young hasnt seen the movie. No, sir. Ive never heard of it.
But that doesnt change the fact that he wants to get a sack.
Oh, yes, sir, Young said. The Maryland game, I thought I was going to get a sack but I tripped. But I know it will come if I keep working hard.

I watched all of the Hawks-Wild series. I think the Ducks were a legit team, but the Hawks' regular season dominance is a more accurate reflection of their actual skill level than the Ducks' was. Some Wings fans are programmed to remember Corey Crawford as that scared 3rd stringer that got forced into the Playoff game against the Wings a bunch of years back, but the dude is legit, and their defense is STACKED. Minnesota created nothing against them. They're basically a super-powered version of Detroit (not unsurprising given the Bowman connection). Toews and Kane are "star" players that aren't as offensively dominant as, say, Crosby and Malkin, but they play hard all over the ice. Plus, Chicago has redeveloped their role players, which was a predictable problem for them in '11 and '12 after their contract with the devil (and the CBA) to stockpile as much top-level talent as the old CBA would "allow".
But I feel good about Detroit right now, so I'm going Detroit in 6 (the most popular answer). I would not be in furious indignation if Chicago ends up with a 3-0 lead on us - they are that good. But much of this regular season really was an unexpected tryout to figure out which of our "B" or "C" level prospects could be NHL'ers, and what roles they would play. Abdelkader suddenly looks like he's built for the Playoffs, ala Franzen or Kesler (not to that level, but you get the poitn). Nyquist is a stud, and Kindl is worlds better than he was when he came up. And there's few, if any, goalies I would trade Howard for right now in terms of how he's played in the Playoffs.
If we get any type of secondary scoring, Datsyuk and Z will eventually show up. But I do think we need a split in Chicago, or we won't be able to dig out against a team like this.

Buffalo police are reviewing a surveillance video of a robbery Sunday evening at the 7-Eleven store at 171 Grant St.
Officers said a young man wearing a black-and-white plaid scarf over his face tossed a note on the counter at about 6:50 p.m., demanding "everything you got or everyone's going to get shot." He also ordered a clerk to "open the second drawer" before he escaped with an undetermined amount of money in $5 and $1 bills, police said.
The clerk said the bandit, who spoke Spanish, fled east on Auburn Avenue. He was described as Hispanic, in his late teens or early 20s, with hazel eyes, wearing blue jeans, a red jacket with a white hoodie underneath and a dark-colored baseball cap under the hood and black gloves.

A year ends and accomplishments are many
Cora Jackson-Fossett
Public Affairs Director
Department of Public Works
City of Los Angeles, California
Chair, APWA Diversity Committee
We accomplished quite a bit over the past year during my tenure as chair of APWA's Diversity Committee, and I want to wish good luck to Augie Chang who will be assuming this position while I move over to the Membership Committee.
I also want to thank and wish good luck to all the other members of the Diversity Committee, Chapter Diversity Liaisons and all those others in the APWA family who lent their support to helping make our activities over the past year so interesting, so unforgettable and so fulfilling.
But before taking leave of this position, I would like to share with you some of the highlights over the past year of our efforts at addressing—and increasing—diversity in APWA.
Most recently, we planned and are conducting educational sessions on diversity at this year's APWA International Public Works Congress and Exposition to be held at the Kansas City (Mo.) Convention Center on September 10-13.
The titles of these workshops offer insights into the topics of discussions: One is called "Challenges of Diversity in Dealing with Emergency Response," during which attendees will be taught the importance of supplying the three R's to every emergency response activity: Rules, Routine and Respect. Robert Chandler, Ph.D., of Pepperdine University in Malibu, will lead the class.
The second session the Diversity Committee is presenting at Congress is called "Developing a Winning Workforce." It deals with fostering attitudes of accountability and inclusiveness through the use of conflict resolution techniques, employee recognition and development tools, and recruitment practices that reach out to a diverse community. Speakers are Jennifer Adams, Rosa Inchausti and Glenn Kephart, P.E., of Tempe, Arizona.
The third session in which all should be interested is called "A View from the Top—Women in Public Works Talk about their Lives and Careers." This panel discussion will feature women who have "made it" in the public works profession. They will discuss such topics as career paths and how young professionals can avoid specific pitfalls and missteps as they move forward in their careers.
In other achievements during last year's Congress, the Diversity Committee held the largest First-Timers Meeting ever, with more than 200 newcomers in attendance. We hope this year's turnout will be as good—or even better.
Building on its successful debut last year, the Women in Public Works Forum at the 2006 Congress will be a breakfast event with a speaker. The Diversity Luncheon has been changed to a Diversity Brunch and will feature Afsaneh Sunnie House, Vice President of the URS Corporation in San Diego. She will speak on "The Changing Role of Women in Public Works." House's career in transportation and public works spans 22 years in managing numerous complex projects for state and local agencies throughout California. She has just completed her term as the International President of the Women's Transportation Seminar, and she has implemented numerous mentoring and professional development programs.
The Diversity Committee also prepared a diversity brochure for students on opportunities within the field of public works that will be distributed to chapters working on student membership programs.
Another activity involved submitting a statement to be added to the criteria for the PACE (President's Award for Chapter Excellence) Award which will identify if a chapter is involved in inclusiveness activities within their chapter. The statement was approved by the Board and will be entered into the criteria for the 2007 PACE Award program.
A subcommittee of the Diversity Committee also worked with APWA's Leadership and Management Committee to prepare background work on the role of women in public works. A survey was sent to women who attended the 2005 Women's Focus Group and the responses were studied. The results of the survey will be shared during this year's Congress.
Another activity of the committee during the year included the evaluation of submissions for the Diversity Exemplary Practices Award. The Engineering and Capital Projects Department Diversity Committee of the City of San Diego was selected to be the recipient of the award.
Our committee also followed up on responses to our survey of members interested in sharing their organization's experiences in the area of diversity and agreed to make contact with Chapter Diversity Liaisons a minimum of three-four times a year. The focus for the first contact was to make them aware of the Diversity Committee's web page and ask them to use it to share success of their chapter in the area of diversity/inclusiveness. The second contact was to advise them of the Board's support for diversity in APWA, and to search out writers for essays on their experiences as women in the field of public works. The Diversity Committee will consider the submitted essays for publication at a future date.
Again, this has been a very good, enjoyable and productive year for me and the other members of APWA's Diversity Committee. I look forward to working with APWA in the future in any capacity where I am needed.
Good luck to all of you and I urge you to make diversity and inclusiveness a way of life in all that you do.

The Stetson University baseball program will host its annual Blood Drive, in conjunction with Florida's Blood Centers, on Monday, November 19.
The event will be held at Melching Field at Conrad Park in DeLand and will run from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
"This is an event that's important to our players and coaches and is vital in the effort to stockpile blood supplies heading into the holiday season," Hatters baseball coach Pete Dunn said. "It seems as if the call goes out every year at this time for donations because blood supplies run low. This is a way for our program to give back to the community.
"This community supports the Stetson baseball program throughout the year, and this is a way for us to show our appreciation."
While all of the member of the Stetson baseball team will participate in the Blood Drive, the Hatters are asking that members of the Stetson University faculty, staff and students, as well as the DeLand community, come out in support of this effort by donating a pint of blood.
People interested in donating can schedule an appointment by calling 1-888-9-DONATE (936-6283) or online.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Two students at the Herbert W. Boyer School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Computing are the first Computing and Information Science majors to complete National Science Foundation-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) last summer. Joseph Anderson, a senior double major in Computing and Information Science and Mathematics, participated in TRACK – Training and Research in Advanced Computer Knowledge – at the University of New Orleans, and Shauna Hetrick, a junior Computing and Information Science major, pursued research with JHAVÉ, an algorithm visualization software tool used in teaching computer science, at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh. Both were awarded fully-funded, ten-week programs. "The research at UNO was focused on signal processing and image processing," Mr. Anderson explained. "Our particular project was fish tracking and identification using underwater video. It was kind of neat. My assignment was segmenting and actually finding fish in the pictures. I learned a lot about small group coordination and it improved my technical writing. I also learned a lot more math and statistics skills to solve real world problems." Mr. Anderson had previously served as a programming intern in work conducted on campus with Ethix Systems. "I learned about how to work and improve systems they designed to coordinate tasks more efficiently," he said. "I was involved in the actual planning, from database to modeling the interface. It was a great experience." He also works as a desktop analyst in the College's Information Services Department. "My role is primarily product research and documentation, managing the systems used to control all of the computers." He is also beginning work on his senior research project which is an application to interface with the Support Suite software which the help desk will use to manage the student hardware that goes in and out so they can track which students had what software in the past." He expects to graduate in May and pursue graduate school studies toward a Ph.D. in mathematics or computer science – or a combination of the two – in Pittsburgh, Boston or Indiana. I am very interested in the juncture of philosophy, math and computer science." A graduate of Derry Area High School, Mr. Anderson is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Anderson of Derry and a member of St. Martin's Parish in New Derry. In his leisure time, he participates in Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, has played trumpet in the Westmoreland Youth Symphony, takes organ lessons, and is starting a computer science colloquium club – popular at the nation's top schools – where students can get together to talk about math and computers, physics and chemistry. Speaking about her summer research, Ms. Hetrick related, "Our program tried to make it like a mini-grad program where we get the information at the beginning and then they cut us loose to work on our projects. Each group got a list of topics and we chose one and developed algorithm visualization for that topic. We also had to do a textbook page online describing our topic so that a student could go and do the visualization. We also did a research poster and paper on how we developed our software." "Our topic was object composition which was a little different because it is not necessarily an algorithm but rather a concept that many people have trouble with so we are trying to visualize that to help beginner computer science students," she continued. "I really enjoyed the research aspect of it and may pursue graduate study in that area but I haven't yet decided." She previously did an internship at Concurrent Technologies Corporation. "We did a research project there as well as a research paper and presentation," she added. "I am just trying to get as much experience as I can. The problem solving that is involved is enjoyable for me." In addition to her CIS major and minors in mathematics and Spanish, she still finds time to pitch for the Lady Bearcat varsity softball team, chair the committee for Colleges Against Cancer, tutor for the CIS Department, and participate in the computer science club. "I am in Alpha Lambda Delta and participate in their service projects and like to volunteer when Campus Ministry is making pillows for children in the hospital. I always do that." What has she enjoyed most about her educational pursuit at SVC? "I just like that faculty challenge me but aren't overwhelming to where I feel like I can't do it," she responded. "It makes me excited to keep trying. I like the entire faculty. They are all very accessible and open, excited to help students learn." Ms. Hetrick was honored to learn that the poster she and her study partner created last summer was accepted at a research conference sponsored by CCSC (Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges) Midwest for Computer Science Education. "We were invited to attend the conference in Huntingdon, Indiana, September 23-25 and were awarded first place for our poster. It was a great experience." Daughter of Robert and Kelly Hetrick of Johnstown, she graduated from Westmont Hilltop High School and belongs to Saint Patrick's R.C. Church. Br. David Carlson, O.S.B., chairperson of the Computing and Information Science Department in the Boyer School, said that Mr. Anderson and Ms. Hetrick are both outstanding students. "For both of them to obtain a high-quality summer research experience in the same summer is a significant accomplishment," he said. "They have already made many positive contributions to the Department, to the College, and to the wider community. I am sure we will hear more good things about them in the future."

The Clean Air Coalition on Tuesday called on the Western New York delegation to the State Legislature to support a full package of campaign finance reform measures aimed at leveling the playing field between the public and corporate entities that run afoul of environmental protection laws.
The brief demonstration was held in Aqua Lane Park off River Road in the Town of Tonawanda, not far from Tonawanda Coke, and came on the heels of guilty verdicts last week on 14 of the 19 federal criminal charges against the plant for pollution.
"After 10 years, Tonawanda Coke was found guilty by a jury of its peers for violating the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ... and for obstruction of justice. That happened because ordinary citizens organized and made Albany listen to them, but it shouldn't take 10 years," said Erin Heaney, the coalition's executive director. Heaney was joined by other coalition members, as well as members of Citizen Action and the Sierra Club and Tonawanda residents who charged that the state's campaign finance laws are rigged against ordinary citizens and in favor of corporate interests.
"Our members today are holding up signs with how much corporations in the Town of Tonawanda have donated to politicians over about the last five years," she said.
"Tonawanda Coke has given over $50,000. Noco has given nearly $200,000. Dunlop has given about $1,000. NRG Huntley, the coal plant right behind us, has given over $100,000," she said.
"If we're going to continue to make change here in the Town of Tonawanda, we need our voices to be heard in Albany just as loud as corporate polluters who can afford to pay to have their voices heard," she added.
Heaney and the coalition called on state Sen. Mark Grisanti, R-Buffalo, and Assemblyman Robin Schimminger, D-Kenmore, whose districts include Tonawanda Coke, to support reforms. These include public financing of elections, rules limiting the size of campaign donations and laws that promote transparency so that the public may know from whom elected officials are receiving campaign donations.
"We need your support on this bill so we can take back people power," said Tonawanda resident Ron Malec.
"New Yorkers can no longer afford to allow big corporate polluters to undermine our democracy," said Jim Anderson, vice president of Citizen Action.
"We keep paying for the bad choices from politicians who serve corporate interests. It's time to fix our broken campaign finance system with publicly financed elections this legislative session," he added.

The Buffalo Bills' depth at cornerback is being put to the test at a bad time.
On tap is a meeting with Tom Brady and the big, bad New England Patriots in Gillette Stadium, the Bills' House of Horrors over the past dozen years.
Buffalo won't have second-year cornerback Aaron Williams available for the game after he suffered a right knee injury in Sunday's 21-9 loss to the Houston Texans that coach Chan Gailey said will keep him out 2-3 weeks.
"It wasn't as bad as it could have been. He's going to miss a few weeks, but it's not a season-ender," Gailey said about Williams, who had an MRI done on his knee Monday.
That's good long-term news, but still leaves the Bills with a big hole to fill Sunday at a place they haven't won since the 2000 season. Complicating matters is the uncertain status of veteran Terrence McGee, who missed the Texans' game and has been a part-time player all season following surgery last season to repair a torn patellar tendon in his left knee.
McGee said he'll practice Wednesday but will have to see how his knee responds before knowing if he'll be able to play against the Patriots.
"That would be important. I don't know what his status will be this week," Gailey said.
"He had the week off and we'll see if he can get back to practice Wednesday or Thursday, or Wednesday and Thursday, hopefully, and things are better, but I don't know that."
McGee played a season-high 36 snaps (49 percent) in Week Six at Arizona, but his knee did not respond favorably and he was limited to just 14 snaps (22 percent) the following week in a home loss to the Titans.
Even with the added rest of the team's bye week, he was held out Sunday.
"To be honest, I can't even tell you where my mind's at right now. It's definitely frustrating," he said. "You definitely get mad, upset, all that kind of stuff, but at the same time you always come in here and try and work and hope for the best, really. Pray about it."
McGee's had good and bad weeks dealing with the soreness in his knee, but lately that's been trending down.
"It's something I've been dealing with, but at the same time you can kind of say it's surprising," he said. "It's been down, down, down ... hopefully this week is one of the weeks it's back up."
McGee knows as well as anyone on the defense how important it will be to have as many healthy bodies in the defensive backfield as possible on Sunday. Brady holds a 19-2 career record against the Bills and has completed 65.3 percent of his passes with 49 touchdowns and just 17 interceptions.
"With Tom Brady passing the ball and the type of weapons they've got out there, we definitely need a healthy secondary," McGee said.
Should McGee be unable to go, Leodis McKelvin will get his most extensive work since the season opener. McKelvin played 22 snaps in Week One against the New York Jets as the slot cornerback, but lost that role the following week to Justin Rogers.
McKelvin has seen just spot duty on defense since then, including three games where he took no defensive snaps at all.
"It's a time I've been waiting on since the beginning of the season. Especially with the nickel situation, how that went," McKelvin said. "I didn't want it to come that way with the injury, but as far as me getting my shot, it's time for me to step up."
McKelvin, who has excelled as a returner, has split his time in practice between the slot and covering outside receivers.
"I've been playing on the outside all my life, so me playing on the outside is not a big issue," he said. "Whatever they ask me to do, I'm going to go out there and give it my all."
The former first-round pick has never been one to lack confidence.
"I can hold my own. That's how I feel right now," he said. "I feel very comfortable with what I can do coming in for us. ... I'm vey hungry."
The Bills also have been getting rookie cornerback Ron Brooks up to speed. He made his season debut Sunday after being activated from injured reserve and made one tackle against the Texans.

This site is an attempt to share some of the experience that I have gained as a GP in Hertfordshire and a reviewer and editor with the Cochrane Airways Group. Evidence Based Health Care starts with the patient in the consulting room, and in my view there is no substitute for good listening to find out the reason for that particular visit, as I have written in an article for Doctor. However there are questions arising from almost every consultation that I cannot answer, and from time to time I attempt to turn these into a four-part question (as described in the EBM handbook by Sackett et al). For those who want to read more about the PICO framework for such questions, please see the article that I wrote for Pulse on asking a good question. There are further articles in this series on critical reading.
We have successfully introduced an evidence-based policy for the place of antibiotics in children with acute otitis media and details are now available on the Evidence to Change Practice page , including a link to the published report of our new approach and the resulting change in prescribing in the BMJ. We used a handout to explain the reason for our change and this is available in the version that we currently use; feel free to adapt it for your own use if you wish.
Visual Rx is free software to convert Odds Ratios into Numbers Needed to Treat. This was designed to help with the interpretation of results from Systematic Reviews and clinical trials by producing a graphical display demonstrating the impact of treatment if it were given to 100 people with the relevant condition.
Other pages on this site link to a series of articles that I have written for Update and Prescriber and Doctor on understanding statistics and critical appraisal and a variety of prescribing issues. I have added a Bibliography of some books that I have found helpful for those who want to read more.
The first Cochrane systematic review that I have authored compares the use of spacers and nebulisers to deliver Beta-agonists in acute asthma. This has now been updated four times over the past 10 years. The full version of the review is published in the Cochrane Library.
I hope this site may serve as a stimulus to others to find answers to day-to-day questions from practice, and will help those who want to understand some of the tricks to look for when reading articles in medical journals. Please feel free to email me

Women who eat slowly may end up consuming less calories than fast-eating women, despite longer duration of eating occasions.
Researchers from the University of Rhode Island, USA, assessed the influence of eating rate on caloric intake. For that purpose, 30 healthy women aged 18-48 years were recruited and asked to visit the laboratory on three separate occasions. In the first visit, they completed questionnaires assessing their personal health history, eating rate, and levels of dietary restraint and chronic weight-focused behaviour. In the next two visits, participants were asked to eat a pre-prepared lunch either quickly or slowly. In the visit that they had to eat quickly, they were given big spoons and were supposed to consume food without pauses between bites. Under slow eating conditions, small spoons were provided and the subjects were asked to take small bites, put down the spoon between bites and chew each bite 20 to 30 times. Hunger, satiety, desire to eat, and thirst were assessed at regular intervals before, during and after the meal.
The analysis revealed that although eating under slow conditions made the meal last 20 minutes longer, subjects ate less calories (579 vs 646 kcal) and smaller quantities of food (399 vs 445 g) when compared to the fast eating pattern. Additionally, satiety ratings as well as water consumption were significantly higher during the slow meal, suggesting a potential aiding mechanism.
In conclusion, a slower rate of eating may contribute to lower energy intake in healthy women. More research is required to test if these findings apply to the whole population, different meal types, and longer study periods.
For more information, see:
Andrade et al. (2008) Eating Slowly Led to Decreases in Energy Intake within Meals in Healthy Women. J Am Diet Assoc. 2008;108:1186-1191.

I a very sorry that I bought this "lamp". It has a very weak beam and a short neck and a small lighting field. It is touch and go even to turn it on. I found it was temperamental and abandoned its use the very first day.I didn't find it up to Levenger's usual high quality and wouldn't recommend it to a soul.As far as I am concerned I find it absolutely useless.

Thank goodness this was a gift with purchase!

Initially it was a great idea. I used it every night for about a week when I needed to replace the batteries. I paid over 8 dollars for 2 batteries and then it still didn't work. I also was disappointed that there was no on off switch. I needed to loosen the light in order to turn it off.
Merchant response: Thank you for your comments and your patience. This seems to be an isolated issue. Please contact us at 1-800-545-0242 and we'll issue a replacement at no charge. Thank you for the opportunity to make it right.

This light really burns through the batteries, is hard to attach to anything and is really not a good product. I don't recommend it at all. It also used a hard to find battery product.
Doesn't work well on Levenger lap desks
By luxmissus
from No Cal
I use this on my lapdesk (which I love). The weight of the lamp head tilts the apparatus forward so that it isn't practical.I've solved the problem by adding extra bulk (with cardboard) to the desk so that it holds better but since it was made to go with it, I think it ought to work correctly without having any jerry-rigging.
Exactly what I was looking for!
By Liz
from Salelm, Oregon
I'm a knitter and on long evening car trips couldn't knit without the dome light on which bothers the driver. I clip the laplighter on the sun visor and it gives me the right amount of light in the right spot for my knitting without the ambient light that interferes with the driver's vision. The batteries have been long lasting and I couldn't be happier with the whole setup.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use this light with my lap desk but find it great for reading on the plane. It stows easily and sets up practically anywhere.

Too flimsy
By Miko
from Undisclosed
This is not a well made item. It broke after one day of use. Definitely not worth $24, or even $5. I ordered the Midnight Reader lamp years ago and am still completely satisfied with it.
Light not bright
By Viking
from Portage, MI
The style and assembly of the lamplighter was well done, but the amount of light given off was quite low. Not enough to really make much of a difference. I returned the item.

Got something to read, or something to write or a little paperwork? Thought so. Really want to sit at that desk or maybe you are on the road? Why struggle when this little light lets you work when and where you want. Quit waking up your spouse with that bedside lamp and shine a littlle light where it is needed.

Open source learning - Open High School
Open source goes to high school
Before heading out to film this story on the Open High School of Utah, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had a lot of the same questions most people would have about an online high school: What kind of students go to high school online? How are teachers building their curriculum from open educational resources and what does it look like? How are the students interacting with their teachers and other students in an online venue?
After spending a day with the founding members, administration, faculty, and a room full of students and their parents, we got answers to all those questions, and left feeling like we were witnessing the beginnings of something phenomenal.
Technology rules at Open High where their approach to learning embraces the idea that teaching shouldn't be as static as the textbooks on which it's based. Shattering traditional methods, the Open High School of Utah curriculum is built from open educational resources. These resources are the foundation for their content and are aligned with Utah state standards to ensure the highest quality educational experience. The teachers enhance with screencasts, interactive components, and engaging activities to create high quality curricula for their students.
The use of open resources also makes it possible to very easily modify the curriculum to meet student needs. This is perhaps the most exciting aspect of the Open High School of Utah! Every student's educational experience can be customized to best fit their needs, turning the one-size-fits-all, teach-to-the-middle education system on its head.
In keeping with their mission the Open High School of Utah, a public charter school, is the first secondary school to share the curriculum they develop as an open educational resource. Today they announce the release of ten semesters of creative commons licensed content at www.ocw.openhighschool.org.
Opensource.com invites you to watch the video below and share this amazing story. If you are interested in learning more about the Open High School of Utah, check out the website.

The most positive thing I have seen all year.
The entire Open Source community needs to get
behind this.
It's great to see open source ideals getting some traction in a public school setting. However, you don't need to wait for the schools. Homeschoolers have been doing this for 20+ years.
I am skeptical of your claims. :)
We serve a large homeschool population and the parents appreciate the transparency that the online arena affords them, the data, and the high-level curriculum and instruction our teachers provide. It's a good fit because they have the level of participation they desire in their student's education but aren't overloaded having to plan and teach all 7 subjects.
I'd say there's so much more than 7 things you can be taught in school. What are the 7 subjects?
Certainly there are more than seven subjects :-) We currently teach 26 different courses, but any given student only has 6-7 at a time because the graduation requirements in Utah are 24-28 credits for four years of high school. The point is that some homeschool parents enjoy having their student at home without having seven preps to worry about.
Good work; the beginnings of something phenomenal indeed. I referenced your story in a blog post today wherein I described the prediction of such programs years ago by a visionary new media guru. That post is here: http://bit.ly/cZrStO. Do you guys take credit for the "Property of Everyone" tagline, or is that the work of people at Open High?
Great initiative,
there is a similar effort on university level from the Free Knowledge Institute (http://www.freeknowledge.eu), the Free Technology Academy (http://www.ftacademy.org). Fantastic to see that Open Source Education is spreading.

P.S. What's that icon in the lower left corner at 2:24 in the video above? ;-) Oh well, progress... not perfection. C'est la vie.
Could someone caption the video? Or at least turn on YouTube's auto-captioner, such as it is? I've referred several colleagues, some of whom are deaf, to this article. Thanks.
@messer, can we do this on YouTube?
I just went to the YouTube site and told it to try... Not quite ready for prime time, sad to say.
Check out my handiwork. :-)
And, if you find mistakes, well, it's open source! Fix it yourself! ;-)
(Note the cut 'n' paste Javascript textbox on the above page for embedding the captioned version into your page.)
Whether people believe it or not, this is the wave of the future in education. Check out the link below to Khan Academy.
The government continues to cut funding for education and schools..where will it go?...The answer is simple. To the most flexible and accessible platform there is, the internet.

Dear Santa: Then and now
As Christmas nears, millions of children around the world are using these two words to begin their letters to Santa , with the hope he will bring what they want.
These letters are often sent by obliging parents to Santa's home at the North Pole. However, back in time, it was popular to send "Dear Santa" letters to a local newspaper, which published them.
Our newspaper collection includes over 120 million pages dating back to 1609, and a quick search using the keywords "Dear Santa" brings really interesting results... Continue reading "Dear Santa: Then and now" »

The Stetson women's soccer team will hit the road this weekend, opening a five-game road trip that will last nearly the entire month of September. The Hatters play at Georgia Southern on Friday at 7:00 p.m., and then challenge South Carolina State on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
This weekend, the Hatters (1-1-1) will be looking to bounce back from their first loss of the season. Stetson fell to Florida International by a score of 2-0 last Friday after opening the year 1-0-1 with a win over Troy and a draw against Embry-Riddle.
For fans unable to make it to the games this weekend, you can keep up with the action on Friday by tuning in to live stats or the subscription based live video stream available at GSEagles.com. Sunday's game can be followed on the @StetsonWSoccer Twitter feed or by signing up for Hat-Alerts.
• Stetson suffered its first loss of the season last weekend, falling to FIU at home by a score of 2-0. Last season the Hatters lost to the Panthers 4-0.
• After opening the season with five straight home games – including exhibitions – the Hatters will now begin a five-game road trip before finally returning home on Sept. 27.
• Stetson earned its first win of the season on Aug. 25, defeating Troy 2-1 in overtime. It marked the first victory at Stetson for new head coach Manoj Khettry.
• Kait Jones' game-winner in the 99th minute against Troy was the fifth score of her career and just the second game-winner.
• Carmen Bernecker's first half goal against Troy was the first goal of her career at Stetson.
• Amber Grose assisted on both goals on Sunday, matching her team-leading season total from 2012.
• Stetson and Georgia Southern have met four times in the all-time series. Each team has won twice, playing each season from 1993-95, and then in 2012.
• Last season Georgia Southern defeated Stetson 2-0 in DeLand early in the year. The Hatters' last victory was in 1995.
• Stetson and South Carolina State have met just two times in the all-time series, with the Hatters coming out victorious both in 2000 and 2001.

Penn State has landed one of the top high school football recruits in the class of 2014.
Thomas Holley, a defensive lineman from New York City rated as one of top 100 prospects in the country by all four major recruiting services, announced a commitment to Penn State on Tuesday morning. The 6-foot-4, 299-pounder also was considering Florida at the end and had made an official visit to Ohio State, as well.
Notre Dame, Alabama, Florida State, USC and Miami were among the other top programs that had offered Holley a scholarship. He had more than 20 scholarship offers and has been selected to play in the Under-Armour All-American Game in January.
Holley figures to play defensive tackle for the Nittany Lions, but internet sites reported that he also could see time at defensive end -- attempts to reach Holley and his coach, Shawn O'Connor, were unsuccessful by press deadline. Holley made 65 tackles this season for Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn as the Railsplitters went 13-0 and won the New York Public Schools Athletic League championship.
Holley had seven tackles in a 28-27 victory over Tottenville in the PSAL final.
"He is a highly motivated kid who pays attention and I can see a tremendous improvement in him from when he first got on the field," O'Connor said to the New York Daily News last week. "He's highly motivated and he has tremendous physical ability."
For the season, Holley also made seven sacks and had 24 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, along with a fumble recovery.
"For me, I like a school to have the total package," Holley told the Daily News in an article focusing on his college choice. "Do they have what I want to major in - for me that's business - how is the environment, because it's a place I'll have to live the next three or four years, and then the football program . . .does it have what I need to be successful?"
Nittany Lion defensive line coach Larry Johnson's track record of turning out NFL players seemed to get Holley's attention.
"That's where I want to get, and if he's a person who can get me there and have me prepared better than another person, then why not?" Holley told the Daily News.
Holley joins New Jersey's Antoine White and junior college transfer Tarow Barney as defensive tackles in this Penn State recruiting class. The Nittany Lions also have been involved with Virginia four-star prospect Derrick Nnadi.
The Nittany Lions graduate starters DaQuan Jones and Kyle Baublitz, so they needed to replenish the ranks on the interior of the defensive line. They won't have a senior defensive tackle who came to the college on scholarship next fall.
Holley's commitment gives Penn State 17 recruits in a class expected to eventually include 23 or 24 players. There have been conflicting reports that the Lions also might have gotten a commitment from Rahway, N.J. linebacker/running back Donte Raymond -- Raymond, who had committed to Delaware, had denied those reports.

As other people here said this wasn´t a typical audince for figure skating competition. The audince didn´t come to see skating in general, people came to see how Russia was going to get more medals. It is like soccer or ice hockey - you don´t applaud when the opposite team scores.
As I said, I have heard boos and hisses and whistles watching broadcasts from every other country. I never heard a single disrespectful noise while watching the Olympics from Russia.
I merged the old Russian audiences thread with this current one. In the older thread, there was some discussion of American audience at the 2003 Worlds. At the time I wrote up my experience as an audience member. It led to a discussion of figure skating audiences. In case anyone is interested, here's the thread:
Here are some things I'd like to clarify about the Russian audience in Sochi:
1) I agree that most of the crowd were not real figure skating fans, people have arrived from all over the country to cheer for their skaters holding Russian flags with the names of their cities - this is a typical football or hockey crowd and they were behaving as football fans: shouting, supporting Russian skaters whenever it was appropriate or not
2) Some of them might not even know the names of figure skaters or the elements so they couldn't appreciate some really good skates. Out of Non-Russian skaters the biggest support was given to Carolina, Brian (as the veterans) and probably to some Japanese skaters.
3) American or Canadian skaters are always met carefully, as well as Russian skaters are met in North America (I can still remember 2013 World Championship, there was awkward silence when any Russian skater was about to take the ice). Btw Julia stated that during Skate Canada 2013 warm-up the audience cheered Gracie, Akiko but when her name was pronounced there was complete silence
4) If you want to see the most knowledgable Russian audience you'd better come to Moscow, Cup of Russia (I'm not talking about the scores here). These people are not as the crowd in Sochi. They are really interested and supportive, at least I have noticed that.
5) The fact that the crowd cheered when smb was falling or making mistakes is wrong. People are cheering not because they are happy! It's a way to support the skater. I don't know about other audiences but in Russia they always do that! And if a skater has a heavy fall it's almost obligatory to clap right until the end of the routine.
6) Finally it's the Olympic Games! I guess the people are under pressure to cheer for Russia, because it's not only figure skating rivalry but also medal rivalry overall. The more medals - the better. Russia has its emperor ambitions, it never can be enough + the revenge for other Olympic losses like Slutskaya for ex. (many people are still angry)
And please don't write anything about Putin buying medals or whatever! He has nothing to do with figure skating (he came to see team event because he thought he had to as the President, probably to show the world that figure skating is the vital sport for Russia). Apart from the Olympics Putin doesn't care about FS. It's all again his ambitions and trying to show the world that he's knowledgable in the sport which looks really funny as he doesn't really enjoy it and doesn't care much.
^ Yes that happened a lot to, thank you for pointing out.

Political correctness? L.M.B.O. That was one of those rare moments where somebody should have jumped up and asked her to step down and let a man be appointed to take her position. I would have paid big money to see the expression on her face!!
Seriously, she asked that, this is not a misprint? I bet she is even contemplating hanging a sign asking voters to please refrain from voting for any women candidates!
I am laughing so hard on this! Ugggh!

Officials report little progress on drilling in state forest

Garben78, we had the same problem with garbage and trespassers on our land when we lived on 87. I hired a company to install 6 security cameras on our property, now remember pictures don't lie.
While we were on vacation we had seismic testing people and natural gas people on our property and we did not lease. They left behind their garbage and even used my hose to rinse off their boots, of course all on video.
We turned the video over to the State Police and the companies were fined for trespassing and littering on our property and we never had a problem after that and even though we sold the house the new owners are still using the cameras.

Royalties are no less by the way Francine do you recall what DCNR got for the leases? No? Over $4000 per acre so take that to the bank as most of the private land owners got screwed and ended up with crappy $100 per acre early leases do your homework you'll see. It all comes down to those who cry the most stand losing the least, as most have no play in the gas

Many of these whiners only want to use the forest for dumping their garbage, drinking underage, dropping off unwanted pets and setting up meth labs.
A 24 hour presence by the gas industry disrupts those plans.

Want to hear something negative about Rock Run area not concerning the gas industry? No? Well to bad here it is if you know anything of the area you'll know the reason the area has been closed to camping etc is because of a bunch if slobs years ago way before big gas did nothing but litter the crap out of it so their is your pristine wilderness like it or not it's the truth

>pincer, you nailed it! What a fracking joke indeed. For those that have been living under a rock and did not know: Tom Corbett, Richard Allan, & DCNR are the most corrupt politicians ever to hold office. The mountains around Pine Creek and below English Center, Larry's Creek are already littered with gas well pads. Soon to become industrial wastelands once a spill or an explosion and fire occur. Keep out of the Loyalsock State Forest ! KEEP IT WILD !!!
13 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The reason Tom Corbett has not reversed the moratorium is because he wants to get re-elected, then watch out, that will be the first thing he does because we all know he is a gas industry puppet. As for believing DCNR that the gas industry tries to minimize the effects of gas drilling in our forests, sell that to someone who will buy it, just another puppet for the gas industry. Take one drive to the mountains surrounding the Pine Creek Valley and you will see just how concerned the gas industry is about keeping the natural look of the forest...what a fracking joke.

If your child is filling up on crackers and juice, his brain isn't getting enough fuel. Without steady energy, he'll have trouble controlling his behavior.
To keep your child on more of an even keel, let him graze on something better: fresh fruit slices and veggies dipped in plain yogurt, for example.
Children's behavior often deteriorates in the late morning and late afternoon, or three to four hours after a meal, suggests pediatrician and author William Sears. Children simply run out of fuel. Let your child nibble on nutritious foods throughout the day, Sears says, to smooth out mood swings.
The "glycemic index" of a particular food refers to the rate at which sugar from the food enters brain cells and other cells of the body. The best energy for the brain isn't dumped into cells rapidly, but is absorbed more slowly. Sears lists these favorable foods on the website www.askdrsears.com.
• Fruits: Grapefruit, apples, cherries, oranges and grapes have a low glycemic index. Fruits have a lower G.I. than fruit juices, because the fiber in the fruit slows the absorption of the fruit sugar.
• Cereals and grains: Oatmeal and bran have the lowest G.I. Other foods with a favorable G.I. are spaghetti and rice. Corn flakes and sugar-coated cereals have higher glycemic indexes.
• Vegetables and legumes: Soybeans, kidney beans, chick peas and lentils have the lowest glycemic index of any food. Potatoes and carrots have a much higher G.I.
• Dairy products: Milk and yogurt have low glycemic indexes. Plain yogurt has a lower G.I. than yogurt with fruit preserves or added sugar.
Dr. Rallie McAllister, whose books include "The Mommy M.D. Guide to the Toddler Years," agrees that letting children graze on nutritious foods is a healthy approach. Also, kids are more likely to eat fruits, vegetables and other nutritious foods if they're fun and easy to eat.
Cut your child's food into fun shapes and sizes, she suggests. For example, you can cut apples into building blocks, slice celery and carrots into quarters to make logs, and cut broccoli and cauliflower florets so that they look like miniature trees.
Kids love dipping and decorating their food. Fill a small container with yogurt or a wholesome type of salad dressing, such as one made with olive oil, and allow your child to dip away. Or fill a squirt bottle with yogurt or salad dressing and allow her to decorate her food, McAllister suggests.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests these ideas for snacks:
• Layer vanilla yogurt and mandarin oranges or blueberries in a glass. Top with a sprinkle of granola.
• Break a graham cracker into bite-size pieces. Add to low-fat chocolate pudding.
• Toast an English muffin, drizzle with pizza sauce and sprinkle with low-fat mozzarella cheese.
• Top a banana with low-fat vanilla and strawberry frozen yogurt. Sprinkle with your favorite whole-grain cereal.
• Fill a waffle cone with cut-up fruit and top with low-fat vanilla yogurt.
• Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on hot popcorn.
• Peel a banana and dip it in yogurt. Roll in crushed cereal and freeze.
Ideas for dips:
• Baby carrots and cherry tomatoes in low-fat ranch dressing.
• Strawberries or apple slices in low-fat yogurt.
• Pita chips in hummus.
• Graham crackers in applesauce.
• Animal crackers in low-fat pudding.
• Bread sticks in salsa.
• A granola bar in low-fat yogurt.
Parenting tip
According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, children who eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to concentrate better, have better problem-solving skills, be more alert and think more creatively.
