"Charles Spedding (born 19 May 1952 in Bishop Auckland, County Durham) is a male English former long-distance runner. ==Athletics career== Spedding was fourth in the 10,000 metres representing England, at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. and was England’s Amateur Athletic Association (AAA) 10,000 m champion in 1983 in a time of 28:08.12. His first marathon was the Houston Marathon in 1984, which he won by "the thickness of a vest". Spedding followed this by winning the London Marathon in 1984 and the bronze medal for Great Britain in the marathon at the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, United States, finishing just 2 seconds behind silver medallist John Treacy. Although it was the first British Olympic marathon medal for 20 years, and the last won by Britain (male or female), the performance was one of 16 British medals in athletics that year, and it possibly did not get the recognition it deserved. In 1985 he set a PB and English Marathon record of 2:08.33 (which stood until 2014) when he finished second behind Steve Jones in the London Marathon. He is the third fastest British marathon runner after Jones and Mo Farah. He represented England in the marathon event, at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1987, he finished 8th in the London Marathon in 2:10.32. He also competed at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, finishing 6th. ==Post athletics== Spedding is a pharmacist by trade. In September 2009, he published an autobiography of his running career called From Last to First. He was awarded an Honorary Fellowship from the University of Sunderland in 2012.Nicola Weatherall, "Sunderland University to honour Eddie Izzard, Charlie Spedding and Alastair Stewart", The Journal, 5 July 2012 In November 2019 he published a book Stop Feeding Us Lies: How Health and Happiness Come to Those Who Seek the Truth which examines dietary recommendations and lifestyle approaches which he analyses as being causes of high levels of obesity, type 2 diabetes and other illnesses. ==Achievements== { - !colspan="7"Representing - rowspan=31984 Houston Marathon Houston, United States bgcolor="gold" 1st Marathon 2:11:54 - London Marathon London, United Kingdom bgcolor="gold" 1st Marathon 2:09:57 - Olympic Games Los Angeles, United States bgcolor="cc9966" 3rd Marathon 2:09:58 - 1985 London Marathon London, United Kingdom bgcolor="silver" 2nd Marathon 2:08:33 - 1986 Chicago Marathon Chicago, United States bgcolor="cc9966" 3rd Marathon 2:10:13 - 1987 London Marathon London, United Kingdom 8th Marathon 2:10:32 - rowspan=21988 London Marathon London, United Kingdom 10th Marathon 2:12:28 - Olympic Games Seoul, South Korea 6th Marathon 2:12:19 } == References == ==External links== * Charlie Spedding: We're running out of time for legacy in the Independent * Article from 2003 in the Evening Chronicle * From Last to First * Power of 10 UK Men's Marathon Rankings * Power of 10 Profile: Charlie Spedding Category:1952 births Category:Living people Category:Sportspeople from Bishop Auckland Category:English male marathon runners Category:Olympic athletes of Great Britain Category:Olympic bronze medallists for Great Britain Category:Athletes (track and field) at the 1984 Summer Olympics Category:Athletes (track and field) at the 1988 Summer Olympics Category:Commonwealth Games competitors for England Category:Athletes (track and field) at the 1982 Commonwealth Games Category:Athletes (track and field) at the 1986 Commonwealth Games Category:London Marathon male winners Category:People educated at Durham School Category:Alumni of the University of Sunderland Category:Olympic bronze medalists in athletics (track and field) Category:Medalists at the 1984 Summer Olympics "

""Paternity" is the second episode of the medical drama House, which was first broadcast on November 23, 2004. A teenage boy is struck on the head in a lacrosse game and is found to have hallucinations and night terrors that are not due to concussion. ==Plot== When a clinic patient claims to have an appointment with the diagnostic department, House is skeptical of the letter which he himself supposedly wrote to the family. House realizes that it was written by Cameron, but listens when he hears that one of the symptoms is night terrors. The patient, Dan (Scott Mechlowicz), is a 16-year-old lacrosse player who has been recently hit in the head in a game. House suggests that the night terrors were a result in post-traumatic stress disorder from sexual abuse and his double vision was caused by a concussion and/or eye strain. Then he notices Dan's foot twitch with a myoclonic jerk which normally only occurs when falling asleep. He immediately admits Dan and starts diagnosis with his team. House claims that Dan's father is not his true biological father and makes a bet with Foreman. None of the tests show why the night terrors occurred, but House finds a large blockage in one of Dan's brain ventricles. House and his team relieve the pressure, but they find that the blockage is not causing the other symptoms. During the night, Dan is found missing from his bed. Cameron, Chase, and Foreman soon locate him on the roof, where he is hallucinating that he is on the lacrosse field. House is excited by this new development — it rules out his previous diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. The new diagnosis provided by Cameron is neurosyphilis. To treat this, they inject penicillin through a lumbar puncture, but during the injection Dan suffers an auditory hallucination, which rules out this diagnosis. House is stumped by this new development, and admits his problems to Wilson. Dan's parents are angered to discover House having coffee with Wilson while their son is dying. After House quickly elaborates in great detail exactly what Dan's condition is it at the time, he tells them to go and support Dan, after which he takes their coffee cups to run DNA tests. The tests show that neither parent is biologically related to Dan. House remembers a baby he treated earlier whose mother did not want to vaccinate the child and hypothesizes that infant Dan may have caught the measles virus, which remained latent for 16 years. Avoiding a dangerous procedure to confirm this unusual case, they biopsy Dan's retina to find the virus, confirming House's diagnosis of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Dan recovers fully after brain surgery and reveals that he already knew he was adopted, but that he does not care. ==Medical aspects== The sequence of tentative diagnoses in this case was: #Sexual abuse #Concussion #Degenerative disease #Hydrocephalus #Multiple sclerosis #Neurosyphilis #Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis The treatment for the final diagnosis was to inject interferon into the brain. The story exaggerates the difficulty of explaining this treatment for dramatic effect but the problem of obtaining informed consent in complex cases is a real one. The medical advisor for this episode was Lisa Sanders. Error: The biopsy of the retina is taken with a needle through the central cornea, which would not be an optimum site due to scarring. Additionally, the needle moves "through the pupil", ignoring the crystalline lens located directly behind the pupil. Finally, the biopsy would seemingly be taken in the central retina known as the fovea - the area of the most sensitive vision, again leading to unnecessary permanent damage to the patient's central vision. ==Recurring themes== The theme that "everybody lies" appears here in the question of the patient's paternity. The parents had lied to him in not telling him that he was adopted and do not admit this to House either. ==Reception== Robert Bianco, writing in USA Today, recommended the episode as "first-rate". ==References== ==External links== * "Paternity" at Fox.com * * Category:House (season 1) episodes Category:2004 American television episodes Category:Measles in fiction Category:Medical diagnosis it:Episodi di Dr. House - Medical Division (prima stagione)#Problemi di adozione "
"Stephen Hammerton (fl. 1629-47) was a boy player or child actor in English Renaissance theatre, one of the young performers who specialized in female roles in the period before women appeared on the stage. His case illuminates the conditions of boy actors in this era. ==Beginnings== Stephen Hammerton was the son of a Richard Hammerton of Hellifield, Yorkshire. In his youth he was apprenticed to a London merchant tailor, William Waverly, of the Strand. At the time, veteran actors Richard Gunnell and William Blagrave, founders of the Salisbury Court Theatre, were struggling to form a new company of child actors, similar to the Children of the Chapel and the Children of Paul's of thirty years before.Peter Thomson et al., eds., The Cambridge History of British Theatre, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2004; Vol. 1, p. 149. Those troupes, famous in their own time, had been highly effective at training young actors and funnelling them into the adult companies that needed their talent; but the troupes of boy players had been defunct for nearly fifteen years when Blagrave and Gunnell started their Children of the Revels troupe in 1629. The relevant documents indicate clearly that part of the project's rationale was the training of young actors for the King's Men at the Blackfriars Theatre. Blagrave had encountered the young Hammerton and decided that the Children of the Revels needed him. Blagrave purchased the remaining nine years of Hammerton's apprenticeship contract from Waverly in October 1629. (Hammerton allegedly agreed to this change; it happened "by and with his own liking.") This was not a unique transaction; there are other instances on record in which actors and theatre managers effectively bought the services of boys for their troupes.Viviana Comensoli and Anne Russell, Enacting Gender on the English Renaissance Stage, Champaigne, University of Illinois Press, 1999; p. 184. ==King's Men== Unfortunately, the new boys' company failed to attain success, because of a long closure of the theatres due to bubonic plague at the time. According to one report, the boys were left without adequate food and clothing; fourteen boys had seven shirts among them, and one of the fourteen died of neglect. Hammerton fared better, though; sometime in 1632 he jumped to, or was recruited into, the King's Men. His transition was not without controversy; manager Blagrave was involved in a lawsuit over control of the apprentice actor.G. E. Bentley, "The Salisbury Court Theater and Its Boy Players," Huntington Library Quarterly Vol. 40 No. 2 (February 1977), pp. 129-49. In November 1632, Blagrave joined with William Beeston in a petition to the Lord Chamberlain to recover custody of Hammerton. Beeston's involvement in the matter is cryptic, and the Blagrave/Beeston suit was unsuccessful;Bentley, pp. 143-4, 148-9. Hammerton remained with the King's Men and acted for them for the next ten years, till the theatres were closed in September 1642 at the start of the English Civil War. ==Female to male== Hammerton started out by playing female roles, as would be expected; in 1632 he played Oriana, the heroine in John Fletcher's The Wild Goose Chase. In 1633, when William Prynne published Histriomastix, the Players' Scourge, his famous attack on the theatre and the players, he singled out Hammerton as "a most noted and beautiful woman-actor." By the late 1630s Hammerton transitioned from female to male roles. He played in Sir John Suckling's The Goblins, James Shirley's The Doubtful Heir, and Thomas Killigrew's The Parson's Wedding.Andrew Gurr, The Shakespeare Company 1594-1642, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2004; p. 229. Amyntor in the Beaumont and Fletcher play The Maid's Tragedy was the type of "juvenile lead" part for which he became famous. He acquired a reputation as a sort of 17th-century matinee idol, especially favored by the young women in the audience. The Epilogue to The Goblins comments on Hammerton's popularity: ::The women -- Oh if Stephen should be killed, ::Or miss the lady, how the plot is spilled? Killigrew makes the same point at the end of The Parson's Wedding: if "Stephen misses the Wench...that alone is enough to spoil the Play." (Hammerton's celebrity was such that he was identifiable by his first name alone -- much like celebrities of later centuries.) Hammerton was made a Groom of the Chamber on 22 January 1641, along with five other King's Men. After the theatres closed in 1642, Hammerton's fortunes, like those of the other King's Men, were eclipsed and obscured. He was one of the ten King's Men who signed the dedication to the first Beaumont and Fletcher folio in 1647. ==References== Category:King's Men (playing company) Category:Year of birth missing Category:Year of death missing Category:17th-century English male actors Category:English male stage actors Category:Boy players "
