Chat with R.A. Dickey
Dickey won a bronze medal with Team USA in the 1996 Olympics.
Welcome to SportsNation! On Monday, we'll chat about the new baseball season with New York Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey, whose book "Wherever I Wind Up" hit stores in March.
Dickey's memoir chronicles more than just his baseball career, also delving into his family's woes and his failures as a husband and father as well as the sexual abuse he suffered as a child.
On the baseball field, Dickey went from being the 18th overall pick in 1996 to bouncing back and forth between the minor and major leagues for the first six years of his career. In 2006, he decided to become a knuckleball pitcher to try and extend his career. It took him a few years, and a few teams, to perfect the pitch but the Mets signed him to a two-year contract in 2011, following his career year when he won 11 games.
Send your questions now and join Dickey Monday at 2:15 p.m. ET!

R.A. is here!
Jeff (NY)
Hey RA, you seem like a pretty cerebral pitcher, do you have any knowledge of advanced statistics/sabermetrics? Dickey be praised!
R.A. Dickey (2:15 PM)
I pay a little bit of attention to those metrics. But as it concerns me, not as much because what I do is unique. The knuckleball is kind of an anomaly. But I do see the merit in those metrics.
Nathan (Kentucky)
What inspired you to write your book?
R.A. Dickey (2:15 PM)
I felt like God has given me a very unique story. I wanted to be a good steward with that story. I wanted to tell the hard truth about the things in my life and perhaps lend hope to those that might have had similar experiences.
Matthew (Columbia, NJ)
R.A. : As a Phillies fan, when you pitch against them, you are bound to have a great start. What makes you so successful against certain teams?
R.A. Dickey (2:16 PM)
Well, what I hope what makes me successful is I have a good knuckleball. That's not necessarily a team thing, that's one me. It's not like I try any harder against a certain team or a team that's capable of hitting me well.
Nathan (Missouri)
Do you feel that spring training is just very repetitive or do you like it in that you get a lot of work in and get a lot out of it?
R.A. Dickey (2:17 PM)
I think it's both. I think the repitition is what makes us better. It is repetitive, but it's something that we need. It allows us to hone our skills.
Kevin (CT)
how long did it take to write? Was it a weird offseason activity?
R.A. Dickey (2:18 PM)
It's taken me about 7 years to put together the book. The actual writing part was over the last year and a half. It was not weird, it was very cathartic.
Andrew (New Jersey)
R.A., do you still keep in touch with any knuckle ball pitchers for pointers?
R.A. Dickey (2:19 PM)
Absolutely. Whenever I have a problem, I'm much more apt to lean on those guys than I am to lean on my own coaches.
Rich (Bradenton, Fla)
Mets off to a 3-0 start, you pitched an excellant game over the weekend and the Mets missed a no-hitter on Sunday, do the players feel confident they'll be in the heat of the pennant race come September?
R.A. Dickey (2:19 PM)
Baseball is a marathon. We are happy that we are 3-0, but we're not taking anything for granted. We have to play hard every day, but we certainly feel we can compete.
Ryan (CA)
athletes usually don't write books in the middle of their careers, was it strange that people will know so much about you, even teammates?
R.A. Dickey (2:20 PM)
It was a risk and it was a risk worth taking for me. I didn't want to hide. I've gotten a lot of encouragement and support from guys who have read the book in the clubhouse.
Jeff (RI)
have guys you know said they learned about you from the book?
R.A. Dickey (2:21 PM)
Yes. I've had a couple of teammates share similar experiences in their own lives. It seems to be a very relatable narrative.
Will (North Arlington NJ) [via mobile]
What are your personal hobbies outside of baseball?
R.A. Dickey (2:22 PM)
I like to be a full time father when I can. I have four children. Keeping up with them is enough of a hobby for me and then playing baseball.
Amandeep (NY,NY)
Is the team feeling looser this year and playing under somewhat less pressure? Everyone seems to have counted the Mets out since before the season even started. You guys seem to be having more fun out there so far this year.
R.A. Dickey (2:23 PM)
We certainly are under the radar and that enables us to lessen the pressure a little bit.
Andy (Huntington, NY)
First of all, thanks for sharing your story and being the type of player my kids can look up to. Speaking of which, my 8-year old son begins his little league season next weekend and he really enjoys pitching (I don't mean to brag, but he's been known to hit 25 mph on the gun) - any tips you could give a young player on the mound?
R.A. Dickey (2:24 PM)
Just encourage him to play and have fun. I wouldn't get too technical at that age. Just enjoy playing the game. There will be enough time to get into the technical teaching as he gets older. Fuel his passion for the game.
Alex (Anaheim)
How does New York compare to other places you've played?
R.A. Dickey (2:24 PM)
New York is the biggest stage that you could play on. The media, the fans. There is a high expectation here. It seems like everybody has a voice. There is a little more pressure to perform well. But you can't let it take you out of being who you are.
Zolty (NY)
R.A, You are an inspiration. When you are on the mound, do you ever wonder, "What in the heck am I doing here", throwing a slow, flutter ball to these great hitters?
R.A. Dickey (2:26 PM)
Early on in my career as a knuckleballer, I did have that fear. What am I doing throwing a 60 MPH pitch to Vladimir Guerrero. You don't have a lot of confidence doing it. As I threw it more, I got a lot more confidence. It didn't matter who was in the box, I felt I could get him out.
Ross (Long Island)
Any of your kids pitchers?
R.A. Dickey (2:26 PM)
I have a 5 year old boy and he likes to play catch. I don't pressure my kids to be me. I just want them to be them. If they like it, great, if not that's OK too.
markus (Indiana)
I'm a mets fan.what is your guy's excpectations for this year?
R.A. Dickey (2:27 PM)
Well, we don't set a number of wins or anything. We just want to play hard every game. We want to control the things we can control. Do we make mental mistakes? Do we pitch well? Those are the things that we preoccupy ourselves with. We try to make smaller goals.
Fred (AL)
after a loss how hard is it to wait to pitch again?
R.A. Dickey (2:28 PM)
That's the worst job in baseball is a starting pitcher after a loss. But the best job is a starting pitcher after a win.
Zolty (NY)
Could you pitch on three days rest for an extended period of time?
R.A. Dickey (2:29 PM)
R.A. Dickey (2:29 PM)
No problem.
Lenny (NY)
what do you hope people get out of your book?
R.A. Dickey (2:30 PM)
I hope that people can see a real story of redemption and hope. That although there are adversities in everybodys' life, there is a way to get to the other side.
R.A. Dickey (2:30 PM)
I appreciate the time. Thanks for chatting.

If it is covered bridges, spotted cows and farmers' markets you seek…look elsewhere. This is the Top of VT.
We have so many winter activities in our Jay Peak Area during this time of year.
This month and next you will find local Sugar houses busy making Maple Syrup. There are plenty to visit to watch the process and don't forget to bring home some Maple Syrup.
You could go check out Lake Memphremagog and participate in an Ice fishing Derby, Go on a Dog sled Ride, Go "Fat Bike" riding, or just be outside enjoying skiing, snowshoeing, skating, and snowmobile riding.
It's not that you won't find such things up here. It's just that they're so…tame. The Top of VT is a bit unruly. An area of the Green Mountains that resists being defined by postcard images. Where people find a place where the clamor and confusion of everyday life is replaced by preciousness stillness and views of boundless expanse; where they discover a community shaped as much by weather and wilderness, as the quirky culture that comes with living and working along an International border.
So yeah, we've got bridges. They just moan with a bit more history. And the spots on our cows are more lopsided than most. And as to our Farmers' Markets, well, you have to see them to believe them.
Come on in and see what's waiting for you in the Jay Peak Region at the Top of VT.

Transcriptome architecture across tissues in the pig

BMC Genomics 2008, 9:173 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-9-173Published: 16 April 2008
Artificial selection has resulted in animal breeds with extreme phenotypes. As an organism is made up of many different tissues and organs, each with its own genetic programme, it is pertinent to ask: How relevant is tissue in terms of total transcriptome variability? Which are the genes most distinctly expressed between tissues? Does breed or sex equally affect the transcriptome across tissues?
In order to gain insight on these issues, we conducted microarray expression profiling of 16 different tissues from four animals of two extreme pig breeds, Large White and Iberian, two males and two females. Mixed model analysis and neighbor – joining trees showed that tissues with similar developmental origin clustered closer than those with different embryonic origins. Often a sound biological interpretation was possible for overrepresented gene ontology categories within differentially expressed genes between groups of tissues. For instance, an excess of nervous system or muscle development genes were found among tissues of ectoderm or mesoderm origins, respectively. Tissue accounted for ~11 times more variability than sex or breed. Nevertheless, we were able to confidently identify genes with differential expression across tissues between breeds (33 genes) and between sexes (19 genes). The genes primarily affected by sex were overall different than those affected by breed or tissue. Interaction with tissue can be important for differentially expressed genes between breeds but not so much for genes whose expression differ between sexes.
Embryonic development leaves an enduring footprint on the transcriptome. The interaction in gene × tissue for differentially expressed genes between breeds suggests that animal breeding has targeted differentially each tissue's transcriptome.

transcosmos and Rikkyo University to Hold Hands-On Type Presentation "Big Data Hand-on Learning Seminar," a Collaborative Project
Hand-on Experience on Assessment of the Marketing Issues and Proposals of the Improvement Measures Using Web Analysis Tools
Tokyo, Japan (PRWEB) December 20, 2012
transcosmos inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and COO: Masataka Okuda; TSE First Section: 9715; hereafter, transcosmos) held a hands-on presentation at the "Big Data hands-on learning seminar," as part of its joint-effort project since Fiscal Year 2011 in conjunction with Rikkyo University's College of Business. transcomos received assistance from Okasan Online Securities Co., Ltd., which is a group company of Okasan Securities Group Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; Representative: Tetsuo Kato, President)
transcosmos has been working on joint projects with Rikkyo University's College of Business since September 2011. During the Fiscal Year 2012, in the first half of the year a lecture on big data was held in an e-business class, and in the second half, because of the necessity for the students to experience actual hands-on work with big data, a program was held for the students where they were required to make presentations for corporations based on website usability research and marketing research (web analysis) through web analysis tools
About "Big Data hands-on learning seminar"
Since September 2012, for the students of Professor Hiroshi Sasaki's seminar at College of Business (40 students in their second and third years), Mr. Naohiro Yamaura, Chief Consultant of transcosmos, has been serving as a lecturer to provide instructions for the students on the training methods of marketing concepts and research methods then held hands-on learning in separate groups. For the web analysis data, the actual website access data kindly provided by Okasan Online Securities Co., Ltd. was used by the students to analyze. On Thursday, December 6, the students had an opportunity to visit the client corporations to present improvement measures at a presentation/event offered by transcosmos. The recruitment personnel from transcosmos' Human Resources Division provided instructions on the presentations, so that the students could utilize the experience in their job-hunting efforts. At the presentation, employees of the participating corporations in charge of web strategy were invited as lecturers to offer their critique.

text: /> Midway through the season, there was no question as to who was the best boys singles player in the state. "He was a lot more mature this season and was really more prepared mentally this season," said Putnam North coach David Diefenderfer, who was selected as Boys Coach of the Year. "His attitude was better, and it helped the whole team." Haworth grew six inches from his freshman to sophomore season and went from being a baby-faced freshman to being an unstoppable force on the court. At 6-foot, opposing players had no weaknesses to exploit as he still had good coverage of the court but had added more power to his game. The school celebrated the championship a few days later, and Haworth said he would like to experience that feeling again. "The girls have three championships, so we don't want to stop with just this one," Haworth said.

Time to make paper New Year's Eve hats in both cones and crowns! If you have been with me for a while you will know this is my third year to make these paper party toppers. This year I am extra fancy and added some crystal beads to the crown and strips of sequins to the cone. To make these hats, just download the PDF below and print onto a card stock paper. Trim all pieces. You will want plastic headbands that you can find at a drug or dollar store. For the crown, use the three tabs to attach to the headband. For the cone, you can use the gold strip to make a fringe tassel for the top. Once you have glued the seam to create a cone, simply use a round hole punch on both sides and slide the headband through both. You can then add your bling. Have fun with it! Thank you to my daughter Emily and her boyfriend Alex for being good sports for the third year of showcasing my paper New Year's Eve hats. Cheers! ~ Lia

- I would probably live in it while I am trying to sell it ..........it would be a vacation and then buy a house for a quarter of that price and start a small diner. Thanx

Its hard to say..
- When I win the HGTV dream home I may be forced to take the cash option for obvious reasons (taxes). However, if it is feasible for a middle class family, I would love to make it work and live in this gorgeous home for as long as I can. I imagine living everyday with excitement and joy from all the adventures there are to offer in Park City, Utah. Good luck to everyone! :)
- —Guest Angelo
Not a Problem
- I agree with Guest RUKiddingme....this would be a high class problem that my husband and I would face head on....such a beautiful home in an even more beautiful location...would do our best to keep it for ourselves, kids and future grandkids. All in God's hands.
- —aproblemworthhaving
Cash Option
- When I win, I will take the cash option and live below my means.
- —Guest DoNotLiveInLaLaLand
This is absolutely my dream home
- and I would find a way to make it happen...creative thinking, financial planning, a bit of shuffling and a will to realize the dream can make this a reality.....
- —Guest scott
- Now that's a high class problem that I'm ready to face head-on!

set up a tax deferred annuity
- I like much of the house but many aspects are designed for the designer, not real functionality. I would sell it ASAP and would skip the accountant and straight to a wealth manager. The wealth manager should be able to set up a tax deferred annuity which I would only draw a much smaller annual amount and get taxed at that lower annual rate as I dip into the money. With proper investment it should last several generations unless you try to leave beyond the means of the interest payments.
- —Guest michaelmm
- First of all THANK YOU HGTV for the chance at a dream home. I could give you a tear jerker story but won't. I would be bless to win altho i would have to take the money. S.S. Would not allow me to keep the home up. I also though would love to see HGTV build some homes that are affordable for the everyday person. These gorgeous homes are only built for the rich. Who really do not need a home like this. How awesome would it be to build 4 smaller homes people could really keep. Just a thought see you in UTAH :)
- —Guest THE WINNER
- Had a lot of heartache this year so we would love to win this home. But on S.S. taxes and up keep would be impossible. But would let us build a smaller home.
- —Guest Granny
Pay the Taxes and Keep the House
- I would consult with a finance advisor to build a 5-year plan to keep the house. That plan would include prize money and any other funds.
- —Guest Firebird
How long would it take to sell?
- I could NOT afford the taxes. Do they usually sell quickly? If not, I could not afford to accept it.
- —csfla
HGTV Dream Home...just give us the keys!
- We are ready to move out of California due to the air qualitly. My husband gets severe sinus infections and the doctors have told him that if he wants to get better, he must move out of California. We have looked at Utah and it is just what the doctor ordered! We would definately keep the home. As for the taxes, God will provide. We know that this would be a blessing from God and we would make it our Dream Home. Winning would give us the chance to enjoy the four seasons! All we will need after we move in is a couple of Four/Wheelers! Thank you HGTV!! Dream Home......here we come!
- —shirleyjean61
It's a tough one
- I would love to keep the house, since i already live in Utah, but same story previous guess, taxes, maintenance to keep it up would be outrageous. So we would take the cash, plus 500 and the car, we would renovate our present home and be very wise with our money. Of course 10 percent would go to God.:) Good luck everyone and God Bless you.
- —Guest Guest me
Dalton Manor
- I'd call it Dalton Manor- use the 500,000 & sell the SUV for taxes. Use it for income for hosting weddings, family reunions & parties where I would cater & host...if zoning permitted, otherwise enjoy it for the short time-and probably sell if no business' were permitted. Use the cash to start a similar business venture.
- —Guest Jackie
Dream Come True
- Even though it is an amazing home if i won I would have to sell it or take the cash option. My family is low income and we get by and live with in our means having this home would be a blessing. But with my babies medical bills and taking care of my family we would have to sell or take cash option. It really is a dream home as it is something I would get to live in my dreams lol.

These new questions led me to do something totally abnormal for my frat pack of jocks and hardcore party people: start a Bible study. I admit that, fueled mostly by my newfound fear and anxiety, I also saw an opportunity to improve our fraternity's free-falling reputation. And if I could pass off my new interest in God as a PR move, then my real motivation could remain secret. After all, normal people don't go around thinking about dying and eternity and the meaning of life every day, do they? And technically, it probably shouldn't have been called a Bible study. This was more of a
Jesus said, "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also" (Luke 6:27 – 29). Normal says to hate your enemies. Jesus says to love them. Normal seeks revenge on those who hurt you. Jesus shows you how to be kind to those who harm you. If someone hits you, then normal swings back. Jesus teaches you to turn the other cheek. Let's be honest. This is not only counterintuitive to everything we learned on the playground in elementary school; it's just downright
These red-yelling words of Jesus struck me full force. Many are on the road to destruction. Few are on the road to life. Where was I? Was I driving with the flow of traffic racing blindly down the wrong highway? Or was I heading in the right direction along with a few others down a one-lane road? Although I wanted to believe I was one of the few, my heart knew I was stuck in a traffic jam. Jesus' words screamed like a big neon sign, pointing out a route that I had failed to notice as I tried to keep up with the convoy of normalcy. The truth of his words suddenly seemed so clear. The
Perhaps the most immediately noticeable change was my commitment to purity — no more sex until marriage. To say the least, my sex-obsessed buddies thought I had really lost it and had drunk more than my share of the bad Kool-Aid. Several frat guys even wagered a hundred dollars that I wouldn't last one month without going back to my old ways. For the record, they lost their

Really? I was born in the UK and am now 43 years old, between the ages of 20 and 30 I lived in some of the most deprived areas of Manchester, outside of playing soldiers at University or a museum I've seen two licensed shotguns and a disabled Russian pistol (war souvenir). Musn't be looking hard enough I suppose.

White Night SoundtrackFeb 3, 2012 Music 7 comments
White Night Soundtrack. I've prepared this album so that people who are too lazy to search for actual composers will get them once. This album is composed...
White Night is a total conversion mod for Amnesia: The Dark Descent; and focuses on mostly storytelling.
This is an old-school type thriller. Although it's not mainly a horror game, it'll have its scares; and will offer beautifully designed levels in an old-fashioned asylum with various puzzles to solve. You will discover what happened to David, what he did, and why the mod is called "White Night". But, how are you going to be sure what's been told you, or what you see is the truth?
Are you ready for our session today? Don't worry, I'm here to heal your mind.
- If you have difficulties installing White Night, check this tutorial.
- If you got stuck, having difficulties understanding story or first time player, check this.

Hi all;
It's been more than 2 and a half years since the last update. I know I left here alone and dead, but I was working on different things which I think you'll find exciting.
I'm very glad that many people played White Night, made countless Let's Plays with hundreds of thousands of watches, gave numerous feedback and support.It's time for good news:
I wrote White Night's story as I progressed making the game, and in the end it became more than I imagined. I was aware that things were too abstract at some points, but still, the story made sense and was immersive. I decided I'd give it a shot, turning it into a book as I had been writing stories for too long and some of them were already published in local magazines many times.
I tuned down the symbolism, removed puzzle sequences, added some never-seen-before scenes (like the encounter of Dr. Patrick, Sofia, and infamous childhood of David); and while writing, David gained himself a character that surprised me.
And here it is. Yes, I'm Tansel Altınel:
Unfortunately printed book is Turkish only and there is no real plan for English version. I'm hoping for an e-book version in the near future featuring both languages.
More exciting news is, I've been working on a new game, called Paralycid. With the experience from White Night and feedback from you, a better game with better storytelling is on the way. I'm now working with a team, Team From Beyond.
Paralycid is a story oriented horror/puzzle game we, as Team From Beyond, are making. It's been nearly a year since we started, and nearly half a year building things around, we are finally able to show something public.
You can follow it here and expect a demo soon.
Regards, Tansel.

White Night full release v1.1 This mod is a total conversion for Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Please read instructions carefully.
Here is the Flashlight and Battery as pickable items. These are the items I use in White Night.
Excellent mod !!!! I can say one of the best horrors.
ps: can I vote for this mod or something ? xD
Also, I had no idea this was released July 5th! Whoa, I really was late to the release party. :P
I don't know why it shows that, I'll pm Henley to fix the problem.
I'm glad you enjoyed though :)
Wow. I jumped. Didn't expect some of the things. Although I find it weird there is a point right at the start you can stare at a creature, nothing happens, it doesn't respond, but you can't reach it, and no insanity drains or anything. Oh well.
I also dragged that knife around with me for as long as possible until the next loading area...and BSOD! But that's my fault, I was forcing the game to use my Sound card, and it has issues with that. :P
Hey i am really looking forward to play it but Tanshaydar,can you please upload your custom story mediafire or megaupload please
Rofl dude ! xD you said you are not here to scare us but I played some of it dont know how far I realy am cause I dont know the story but Im in the part that I got my flashlight .. dude ****** great job the music is so ****** creepy *-* the lvl designs ****** epic and unique and crazy love it :) gj

dont know if it helps but in the hpl file it says : No memory leaks detected. Memory left: 0
Highest Rated (20 agree) 9/10
Inspired heavily by the shady atmospheres of psychological juggernauts of various pedigree, but perhaps no more so than by Session 9 or Jacob's Ladder/Silent Hill, is an Amnesia total conversion mod titled White Night of which I had the pleasure of playing for the better part of the last two evenings for a total of about 3.5-4 hours of game play. White Night has a palpable atmosphere that makes you realize fully the depths of the human mind, and of the shadows hanging over us in our subconscious…

Lowest Rated (9 agree) 1/10
Thankfully this mod is nothing like Amnesia because that game was actually a joy to play. I really wanted to like White NIght, but the tedious controls, linear maps, inane storyline (with poorly-written English), and annoying character voices completely ruined this game for me.

Web-based Series Focuses on Practice Headspace and Business Expansion
PHOENIX, Ariz., January 1, 2013 – Continuing its strategy of positioning chiropractors to deliver enhanced patient care, Neuromechanical Innovations (NMI) launched the
Tuesday Think Tank™
on January 1, 2013. The weekly webinar series succinctly covers essential topics for chiropractic practice growth and expansion with consistency and congruency to successful business values and principles.
"We have to be respectful of Doctor's time," said Christopher Colloca, D.C., CEO of Neuromechanical Innovations and host of the broadcast. "Clinicians are busy with patients, paperwork, and running their office. So we limit our time in the Think Tank to under an hour giving small bites of practical information and insights that they can use each week consistently to help their practice grow and reach more people that need our care." Congruent with NMI's culture of innovation, emphasizing quality and measurement by statistics, practical approaches to clinical and business management are the focus of the discussions in the weekly webinars.
The Think Tank is named after NMI's Boardroom at its corporate headquarters in Chandler, Arizona. "It's where the magic happens in our office," said Dr. Colloca. "In the Think Tank we create our vision, our strategic plan, and our action steps to make it all happen. We wanted to bring our Think Tank into a virtual world where we could help develop the vision for practices using our technology. The
Tuesday Think Tank™
was conceptualized that way."
Tuesday Think Tank™
hour presents a variety of topics weekly including practice management tactics, business expansion strategies, staff development ideas, clinical and technique tips, new research in the industry, and marketing approaches in a fast-paced, no-nonsense format. Special guests will appear throughout the year to share their unique perspectives in the Think Tank as well.
Unique to the
Tuesday Think Tank™
is NMI's commitment to providing the actual practice tools to the attendees free of charge. The inaugural
Tuesday Think Tank™
guests received notes from the presentation, a comprehensive practice analysis and statistics worksheet, and a 2013 strategic marketing calendar as practical tools to implement the week's teachings into their practice.
Tuesday Think Tank™
is held live on Tuesdays at 1:30 pm EST and is free to join. Recorded sessions can be viewed on demand in archived sessions accessible online. "I've become a fan of TED Talks whose motto reads, 'Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world.' I've learned that some of the world's most influential people
give away their ideas and share their concepts
with others today for free. What better way to give back than hosting a free online Think Tank to the profession that has provided me with so much," said Colloca. Registration for the Tuesday Think Tank™ can be found online at

Parker University Announces the Appointment of a New President
Press Release
Written by TAC Staff
Tuesday, 11 December 2012 14:08
DALLAS, December 11, 2012 –
The Board of Trustees of Parker University and Parker Seminars is pleased to announce the appointment of their new president, Brian J. McAulay, DC, PhD. This appointment comes after an intensive three month search conducted by a board-appointed presidential search committee of nine members, headed by Wright L. Lassiter, Jr., PhD, chair of the Board of Trustees.
"The presidential search committee and Board of Trustees felt that Dr. McAulay was the best choice to lead Parker into the future," said Dr. Lassiter. "In the search for a new president, the search committee was mindful of the expansion in the role and mission of the institution as a university. In that regard, Dr. McAulay has a PhD in business and management, the doctor of chiropractic degree, and further professional education at the Harvard University Institute for Educational Management, and was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship in educational administration by the American Council on Education. In addition, a noteworthy aspect of his professional experience is service as a chiropractic department chair and teaching experience in business and management at Philadelphia University and Temple University."
Dr. McAulay replaces Fabrizio Mancini, DC, who has retired after serving as president for just under fourteen years. During his tenure with Parker, Dr. Mancini had a significant impact on both Parker and the chiropractic profession, raising the visibility of the profession by participating in media efforts that reached millions of people never exposed to the chiropractic message. In addition, he oversaw the renaming of the institution to Parker University in April 2011 and guided the institution through a successful SACS reaffirmation in 2012. From a global perspective, Dr. Mancini oversaw the development of internship programs in foreign cities such as Bogota, Colombia and Mexico City, Mexico and instituted Parker Seminars events in countries including Japan, Greece and Australia.
Dr. McAulay brings experience in both the chiropractic profession and higher education to Parker University and Parker Seminars. Dr. McAulay's education is extensive with a PhD from Temple University, a doctor of chiropractic degree from Pennsylvania College of Chiropractic and a bachelor's of commerce from the University of Toronto. In addition, Dr. McAulay participated in the American Council on Education (ACE) Fellows program and the Institute for Educational Management (IEM) program through the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Over the past thirteen years, Dr. McAulay has served as executive vice president/provost and interim president for Sherman College, vice-president for academic affairs at Palmer College, and provost and executive vice president/provost for Life University. Each of these institutions experienced growth and success under Dr. McAulay's leadership.
"I am very proud to become a part of the Parker family and I look forward to helping the institution maintain its reputation as one of the premier schools in chiropractic education." said Dr. McAulay. "While Parker's history is rich with tradition and success, it's the future that is so intriguing to me. This is an exciting time for Parker as the institution looks to expand into new degree programs that complement and support chiropractic. I believe my experience in balancing program expansion and foundational chiropractic programs will certainly be a benefit to Parker in the coming years."
Last year, Parker University developed a strategic plan that called for the introduction of twelve new allied health programs by 2017. The first three degree programs, slated for introduction in January 2013, include an associate's degree in Radiological Technology, a bachelor's degree in Health Information Management and a master's degree in Business Administration with a Concentration in Health Care. All three degrees were carefully selected for introduction based on criteria including how well they support and complement chiropractic, the job forecasts for each degree program and the higher than average expected salaries for each profession these degrees serve.
"Program expansion calls for a president with a unique set of skills and talents." said Dr. Gery Hochanadel, PhD, provost of Parker University. "I am very pleased with the board's decision to hire Dr. McAulay as the next president of Parker. His experience in maintaining chiropractic as the foundational program while expanding degree offerings will be critical to the future of Parker University and the students we serve."
In addition to his role with Parker University, Dr. McAulay will also serve as president of Parker Seminars. With over sixty years supporting the chiropractic profession, Parker Seminars continues to serve the profession as the premier professional seminar dedicated to helping chiropractors and chiropractic assistants build successful practices. Parker Seminars has four North American seminars planned for 2013, with the largest gathering taking place in Las Vegas January 10-12, 2013.
"I am very aware of the impact Parker Seminars and Dr. Parker had on the chiropractic profession and I consider it a great honor to oversee this effort. Parker Seminars is the meeting place for the profession and I intend to continue positioning Parker Seminars as a global resource for the chiropractic profession," said Dr. McAulay.

An enormous need
Musculoskeletal conditions are the leading cause of long term disability worldwide.(1) Spinal disorders represent the vast majority of these conditions in the developing world.

Dr. Haldeman garnered the initial support of foundations and corporations, and in 2010, World Spine Care was officially launched with the vision to bring effective spinal care to communities in need worldwide.
The non-profit organization consists of doctors, surgeons, chiropractors, physiotherapists, and others to fill the profound gap in the developing world between the need and the availability of care.

Top 10 cloud computing lessons
Monday - 11/14/2011, 5:48pm EST
As more agencies move to the cloud, the list of best — and worst — practices is getting longer and more sophisticated.
Yogesh Khanna, the chief technology officer of CSC's North American Public Sector, has compiled his list of top 10 lessons learned.
Khanna writes in Envision Gov IT:
- Focus on selecting and migrating workloads into the right cloud, the right way.
- Know what you have in your enterprise, including apps, middleware and infrastructure.
- Analyze how to consolidate and optimize your data center infrastructure and apps.
- Build a risk profile for each of your workloads and map them on a risk spectrum. Consider placing citizen-facing apps in clouds; however, keep classified and mission-critical, strategic-business-unit data in private, perhaps virtualized environments.
- Identify transformation champions within your organization.
- Demand enterprise-class SLAs.
- Look for service providers that give you easy on- and off-ramps to clouds.
- Roll up your sleeves and collaborate with Industry to address procurement-process challenges.
- Address the likely impact of clouds on your organization from the very beginning. Specifically, focus on improving governance, filling skill gaps, and adapting business processes. Evaluate the role of your IT organization in delivering and managing cloud services to your employees or customers.
- Take a structured approach to change management.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Gymnastics Federation (MGF) have engaged two experts – China's Gao Jian and Russia's Nellie Kim – to address the decline in standard of the national artistic gymnasts.
Gao Jian is the former chief coach of China, who reaped a golden harvest at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, while Nellie is a former Olympic champion and the current FIG women's technical committee chairman.
MGF president Datuk Dr Zakaria Ahmad, fresh from his appointment as a council member of the world governing body (FIG), said: "Gao Jian and Nellie are willing to come in as consultants to revise our training programmes so that we will have a credible team for the 2016 and 2020 Olympic Games.
"Gao Jian will focus on the men while Nellie will oversee the women. They know exactly where our gymnasts stand now and what it will take to improve them.
"All we need is to get the National Sports Council's approval. Gao Jian and Nellie can then get down to business. They can evaluate and draw up a plan on how to develop the team, especially in our bid to strike a medal in the 2020 Olympics.
"We are not generating new ideas and these experts can make the sport exciting again."
He was responding to artistic gymnast Tracie Ang's recent lament over the lack of international exposure and support for a sport that used to have representatives in the Olympic Games. Tracie, who emerged as the national champion for the third time in a three-member field at Bukit Jalil recently, wanted more international exposure to improve herself.
Prior to the National Artistic Championships, the gymnasts had only competed in one international competition in Singapore.
Zakaria agreed that artistic gymnastics has been in a rut over the last two years. Prior to that, Malaysia had representatives at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games (Au Li Yen) and 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Games (Ng Shu Wai).
"We seem to fluctuate in artistic. We used to have the talent but there has been a lack of depth in our squad over the last two years. Our women are not as strong as they used to be and it is even worse with the men. I don't think we are even ready for next year's SEA Games," said Zakaria.
"I agree that we haven't been participating in international meets as much as we should have. But soon, our gymnasts will be busy again."
Gymnastics is one of the sports listed under Malaysia's Road to Rio programme, although the focus will be on the rhythmic discipline.

Ramirez hits 350th homer as Brewers top Pirates
Aramis Ramirez's first home run came so long ago he can barely remember it.
''I know I was just a kid, a 19-year-old kid,'' the Milwaukee Brewers third baseman said.
Ramirez had three hits, including his 350th career home run, and drove in four runs to lead the Milwaukee Brewers over the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-6 on Tuesday night.
Coincidentally, No. 350 came just a short walk from where he hit his first - which also came against his current team. Playing for the Pirates on June 12, 1998, Ramirez took Milwaukee's Scott Karl deep at Three Rivers Stadium.
The 16-year veteran third baseman helped stake the Brewers to a 5-0 lead in the fifth inning, but the Pirates rallied to tie it in the sixth. But Milwaukee pulled out the win when rookie pinch-hitter Caleb Gindl hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning.
''If you would have told me back when I was 19 that I'd hit at least 350 home runs in my career, I would have taken that,'' Ramirez said. ''I was a kid then and I'm an old man now but it just goes to show you that if you play long enough you can put up some numbers.''
The Brewers won their third in four games while handing the Pirates their third straight loss. Pittsburgh dropped 1 1/2 games behind St. Louis in the NL Central after the Cardinals beat Cincinnati 6-1.
With the game tied 6-6, Rafael Betancourt hit a one-out double off Bryan Morris (5-7) and took third on Scooter Gennett's single. Gindl then lifted a fly to right that scored Betancourt.
Milwaukee's Norichka Aoki reached base in all five plate appearances, with two singles and three walks. Jonathan Lucroy added three hits, and Gennett had two.
''I like what we're doing offensively,'' Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. ''That was an outstanding offensive performance.''
Pedro Alvarez went 4-for-4 with a walk, and hit his NL-leading 32nd home run for the Pirates. Neil Walker had a three-run homer among his two hits. Andrew McCutchen, Andrew Lambo and Felix Pie also had two hits.
Earlier Tuesday, the Pirates acquired right fielder Marlon Byrd and catcher John Buck from the New York Mets to bolster an offense that ranks 24th in the major leagues in runs. Both players are expected to join the team on Wednesday.
With the Pirates down by a run, McCutchen doubled and Alvarez walked with one out in the ninth, but Jim Henderson held on for his 22nd save in 25 opportunities.
Rob Wooten (3-0) allowed Alvarez's homer but pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win.
''It was as strange game. Real strange,'' Walker said. ''Back and forth, back and forth. But it was no different than what we've played all year. Down 5-0, a lot of teams pack it in. But we have a lot of heart and nobody's throwing in the towel until the last out.''
Both starting pitchers had rough outings. The Brewers' Kyle Lohse gave up five runs and 13 hits in 5 1-3 innings. Pirates All-Star left-hander Jeff Locke was tagged for five runs and eight hits in 4 2-3 innings.
Lohse had been 4-1 with a 2.05 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break.
Locke has struggled of late, allowing 16 runs and 23 hits in 11 1-3 innings in his last three starts. Over his last seven outings, he is 0-2 with a 7.02 ERA.
Alvarez tied it 6-6 by lining a solo home run off the right-field foul pole, snapping a tie with Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt for the league lead.
''Alvarez is hot and he just smoked that ball,'' Roenicke said.
Milwaukee had gone ahead by a run in top of the inning when Ramirez lined a two-out RBI double to center that scored Lucroy, who had singled.
A first-inning run scored when Ramirez grounded into a double play. He hit a solo home run, his eighth of the season, with one out in the fourth. After Lucroy hit a two-out RBI single in the fourth, Ramirez followed with a two-run double that put the Brewers up 5-0.
The Pirates came back to tie it with four runs in the fifth and one in the sixth.
Pie drove in the first run with a pinch-hit double that bounced off Aoki's glove in right field and, one batter later, Walker hit his ninth home run, a three-run shot that carried over the right-field stands.
Lohse grabbed his head and shouted an obscenity when Aoki failed to make the play.
''You can't afford to give a team like the Pirates second chances and they'll take advantage, which they did because I didn't make pitches after that,'' Lohse said. ''I let the inning get away from me there but fortunately we were able to still win.''
Pie, who remained in the game to play left field, made it 5-5 in the sixth with a run-scoring single but the Pirates were never able to gain a lead.
''It's a good win for us,'' Ramirez said. ''We're in fourth place (in the NL Central) and we're not going to playoffs but it's fun to play teams that are going to the playoffs. These felt like a playoff game.''
NOTES: Pittsburgh LF Starling Marte was examined by hand specialist Thomas Graham on Tuesday and no structural damage was found in his bruised right hand. Marte, on the disabled list since Aug. 19, was told he can't swing a bat for at least two more weeks. . Milwaukee rookie LF Khris Davis' 11-game hitting streak ended as he went 0-for-5. . Pirates 1B Garrett Jones did not start but his slump extended to 1-for-34 when he flied out with the bases loaded in the sixth inning as a pinch-hitter. . LHP Tom Gorzelanny (3-5, 3.60) will start for Milwaukee on Wednesday night against RHP Charlie Morton (5-3, 3.42).

Jeff Green donates $1 million to Georgetown athletic department
Aug 29, 2014, 9:24 AM EDT
Yes, Celtics forward Jeff Green is playing on a four-year, $36.24 million contract.
But he also already missed an entire season due to heart surgery. And he's in a career where income typically stops, even for healthy players, well before they reach 40.
That's a long way of saying $1 million is a lot of money, even to Green.
With that established, Green donated $1 million to his alma mater yesterday.
On their birthday, many people expect to receive gifts. On Thursday, Aug. 28, former Georgetown University men's basketball All-American Jeff Green (C'12), who turns 28-years-old today, announced that he will make a $1 million gift to the athletics department for the John R. Thompson Jr. Intercollegiate Athletics Center.
The building is named in honor of Hall of Fame Men's Basketball Coach John Thompson Jr., who guided the Hoyas for 27 years and influenced generations both on and off the hardwood.
As a junior, Green led Georgetown to the Final Four in 2007 and was selected with the No. 5 pick in the National Basketball Association Draft. Determined to finish his degree, Green continued attending classes during the offseason. He earned his degree in English, with a minor in theology, from Georgetown in 2012.
"I'm very fortunate to be in a position to give back to the University and to the program that has done so much for me," Green said. "The environment created by Coach (John) Thompson III and his staff helped shape me both academically and athletically. Georgetown and Georgetown Basketball is at my core and is part of who I am.
"Georgetown athletes are going to get the chance to work and develop in a world-class, state-of-the-art facility. The Thompson Athletics Center will be the best in the country."
A groundbreaking ceremony for the Thompson Athletics Center is scheduled for September 12, 2014. Green's contribution is part of the $62 million project that will be completely supported through philanthropy.
"This generous gift from Jeff will help to enhance the experience of many future Georgetown student-athletes," Head Coach John Thompson II said. "Jeff's commitment to our school and to our program speaks not only to his experiences as a student and an athlete here, but gives a small glimpse into who he is as a person. We're very fortunate to have Jeff Green represent this institution."
The four-story, 144,000-square-foot Thompson Athletics Center will be constructed adjacent to McDonough Arena and include practice courts, team meeting rooms, men's and women's basketball coaches' offices, and weight-training and sports medicine rooms for all varsity athletes. The new facility also includes a Student-Athlete Academic and Leadership Center, an auditorium, team meeting facilities for varsity programs and a new venue for the Georgetown Athletics Hall of Fame.
Good for Green for giving to a cause he deemed worthy. He can spend his money how he wants, and I'm sure he sees value in the university.
I'll bite my tongue about the virtue of donating to a profit-generating entity like Georgetown Basketball, which – due to NCAA rules – doesn't adequately adequately pay its employees (players) and therefore has extra money laying around.
But the idea of paying it forward to the next generation, especially when it's through an institution that benefitted you? I can get behind that.
- avb300 - Aug 29, 2014 at 9:39 AM
What an idiot. Sure…give a million to a school and a system that makes hundreds of millions of of students.
Forget cancer research and other worthy causes and give back to a school with over a billion in endowment.
- pbtunpaidwriter - Aug 29, 2014 at 12:32 PM
Hard to disagree with you avb. Any other D1 school would put him in the position he's in right now – NBA player making millions.
Can't he just give that money to his family? I'm sure G-Town doesn't need the money that much either.
- mattness11 - Oct 27, 2014 at 3:27 AM
It's not some random donation — the money specifically goes towards the athletics department for the John R. Thompson Jr. Intercollegiate Athletics Center. I'm sure Green doesn't care about the school or the department for that matter, as much as he cares that his beloved coach's legacy lives on through his namesake facility. If you ever had a teacher, coach or mentor that changed your life, you might understand. Besides, I'm sure the donation gives him perks on top of what he already enjoys as distinguished alumnus.
- mp4philly - Aug 29, 2014 at 9:55 AM
Pretty shortsighted on your part. Income may stop or drastically be reduced before 40 but you're overlooking the tax benefits and the fact that he'll have a cushy and likely well paying job for life at Georgetown once his playing days are over.
- sportsfan18 - Aug 29, 2014 at 10:09 AM
Yep, you really bit your tongue there sir…
(no worries, I liked what you did there and do that often too…)
- sportsfan18 - Aug 29, 2014 at 10:10 AM

sorry, meant to say that as a new response, not in reply to yours…

- nicktomfrank - Aug 29, 2014 at 10:06 AM
Jeff Green's heart might be fine now but he certainly needs his head checked.
- timb12 - Aug 29, 2014 at 10:53 AM
But I think we're all dying to know if he did the ALS bucket challenge.
- 5xchamp24 - Aug 29, 2014 at 7:26 PM
He could have given the money to some kids who wanted to go to Georgetown but couldn't afford it. I'm not impressed at all.
- csbanter - Aug 29, 2014 at 10:48 PM
Obviously G'Town meant alot to him and he never forgot them. Sure he could've probably given it to a more worthy charity, but it's his money.
- 1heatedtoombrayduh - Aug 30, 2014 at 12:24 PM
you must have bit your tongue while you were typing the words out..lol
- djshnooks - Aug 31, 2014 at 9:13 PM
That's nice and all…but I think Carmelo donated an entire gymnasium to Syracuse.
It's even named after him, lol.

CAYCE — With winter weather expected to impact much of SCE&G's service territory this week, SCE&G offers the following recommendations to help you and your family stay safe.
During a winter storm, ice can cause tree limbs and entire trees to break and fall, sometimes taking power lines and even meter boxes down with them. Always assume any downed power line you see is live and stay away.
Should the power go out while you are cooking dinner, remember to turn off the stove and remove any cookware from the cooking surface and oven.
It's sometimes hard to resist the urge to supplement a heating system lost during an outage, but household items such as cooking stoves or ovens and outdoor grills should never be used for heat. If you use a fireplace for heat, be sure to extinguish any flames before going to bed.
Supplemental heaters and generators designed for home use should be used with extreme caution, paying close attention to the manufacturer's instructions.
To report a power outage, you can call 1-888-333-4465. You can also report and check the status of your power outage online from your internet-ready mobile device or phone by visiting www.sceg.com/mobile and clicking on storm center. SCE&G's storm center, www.sceg.com/storm provides information and links to help customers prepare for and deal with inclement weather and related power outages – information about how to report power outages and our process for restoring service to our customers, as well as important safety tips.
Now is also a good time to register for SCE&G's texting option. Head to www.sceg.com, login to your account and look for the "Activate Text Options "under the "Account Options" feature and then follow the instructions. If you are experiencing an outage, simply text the word "OUT" to 467234 (gosceg).
Please stay up to date with weather related and safety tips by following SCE&G on Twitter at @scegnews and on Facebook at SCE&G.
SCE&G is a regulated public utility engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity to approximately 675,000 customers in South Carolina. The company also provides natural gas service to approximately 325,000 customers throughout the state. More information about SCE&G is available at www.sceg.com.

In Center for Biological Diversity v. Environmental Protection Agency, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed with leave to amend (pdf) a suit alleging that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) violated section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by failing to consult with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service on the effects of 382 registered pesticides on endangered and threatened species.
The court dismissed the case, holding that plaintiffs failed to allege specific facts constituting agency action for purposes of triggering section 7 consultation for each of the 382 pesticides. The court rejected plaintiff's argument that the EPA's ongoing discretionary control and authority over the pesticides constituted agency action. To establish that there was a duty to consult, plaintiffs would need to allege specific facts identifying affirmative actions taken by the EPA with regard to each of the challenged pesticides.
The court also held that plaintiffs failed to allege sufficient facts to establish that they had standing to bring the case. As plaintiffs were required to allege specific facts with regard to each individual pesticide in order to invoke the section 7 consultation requirement, the court held that plaintiffs were likewise required to allege facts to establish standing for each individual pesticide. The court reasoned that standing to challenge one pesticide did not establish standing with regard to another pesticide.
In addition, the court held that plaintiffs did not plead sufficient facts to establish that the district court had subject matter jurisdiction over the claims. To the extent that plaintiffs' "core objections" were to EPA's pesticide registrations, the suit was governed by the administrative framework of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), not the citizen suit provision of the ESA. The court opined that whether it had subject matter jurisdiction under FIFRA, or whether the claims fell outside the ambit of FIFRA, must be established by plaintiffs with respect to each particular pesticide challenged.

text: Based on a true story and originally aired as a Lifetime Original Movie, this moving drama zeroes in on a family that is nearly torn apart when the 15-year-old daughter announces her pregnancy. Each person in the clan reacts differently to Tina's predicament. Mother suggests that children shouldn't have children. Tina disagrees and insists on keeping the baby. Her father, already upset by other issues, moves out. Tina's little sister finds herself increasingly ignored and resentful. Meanwhile, at school, Tina's friends drift away as her tummy gets bigger, and though her boyfriend at first promised to be supportive, he then chickened out. Forced to attend a special class for unwed mothers, she meets several others in her situation. Her biggest help during her pregnancy is her 19-year-old friend Laurie who had her baby two years before. But while supportive, Laurie also shows Tina how difficult and exhausting, single motherhood can be. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Outstanding Cottage in Beautiful Location
I have found that 5 stars are too often given so that the rating starts to lose its meaning. This truly is a 5 star property. It is beautifully designed and built with pine- planked inside walls that lend such charm and interest. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, a rarity and yet so helpful with a larger family or couples traveling together. There's plenty of space for privacy and also for interaction. The furniture is very nice and actually comfortable...as is the King bed (didn't try the others.) We ate all breakfasts and dinners there so really appreciated the high-end appliances (especially the Jenn-Aire duel fuel stove/oven) and the gas grill. And then there's the magnificent view from the house, from the porch, and from the firepit with chairs area right by the water. And the sound of the waves to lull you to sleep. And then there's the porch. since the photos on this site were taken, beautiful, high quality couch, chairs and tables are now present...we practically lived on that porch. This truly is one listing that is even better then its photos and write-up. As for the practical matters, Tonia was so easy to work with and very responsive. She provides lots of information about what to do, best places to eat, shop, etc. ahead of time and kindly and quickly answered some additional questions we thought of. The house was immaculate and the linens were of excellent quality. Nothing was missing. And our refundable security deposit check was waiting for us when we got home.

Computers come in many different guises; some barely resemble a PC at all. We've had it with plain-vanilla and boring black machines, and we've gone designer. Here's how to get a PC that looks good, both inside and out.
Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana may be yet to embrace the designer wrapping for svelte home electronics concept, but there's nothing stopping you from adding some bling. InWin does a floral case encrusted with rhinestone jewels. Philips' Swarovski crystal-covered USB thumb drives and earphones will complete the look.
And, if you really must, a Hello Kitty crystal-encrusted NEC laptop is available for import from the Far East.
But if you simply want to create a distinctive look for your system, shop around at sites such as eBuyer.com, PC Advisor Shopping, dabs.com, overclockers.co.uk and maplin.co.uk for cases that fit the bill.
For one of the widest range of choices in both PC design and cases to houses them, Commodore offers more than 200 different finishes, superbly applied by airbrush artists.
Laptop fans don't get the professional paint job – but several accessory companies now sell 'skins'. You can either choose one of the existing designs or upload your own photo to be turned into a fascia. At sites such as lapjacks.com, laptopskins.net and the wonderfully named backslaps.co.uk you can order self-adhesive skins from as little as £11.
What's more, everyone from Sony and Apple to Dell and even Lenovo now offer laptops in a choice of coloured finishes. Asus and Acer let you advertise your allegiance to Lamborghini or Ferrari respectively, while Hannspree makes football team-themed screens as well as ones reflecting your interest in other sports.
