FA L L 2 0 1 2 1 Ann Carter: A Resource, Advisor and Friend S TA F F S P O T L I G H T Three decades of dedicated service to the Logan community "I will miss her friendliness, her warm smile and her ability to do just about anything at a moment's notice." - DR. PATRICK MONTGOMERY science division. "She has always been a great friend and incredible help, and I'll miss her greatly when she leaves." (From left) Dr. Elizabeth A. Goodman, Ann Carter and Dr. George A. Goodman. Throughout her 30-year career at Logan College of Chiropractic/ University Programs, Ann Carter has proved to be more than a dedicated employee; she personifies Logan's commitment to students, staff and the chiropractic community. With a deep knowledge of the institution's operations, a passion for helping her colleagues, and exemplary service, Ann undoubtedly has played a role in helping Logan become one of the world's premier institutions for chiropractic. Whether she's organizing a special event, greeting alumni, tracking down a missing package or assisting the board of trustees, Ann defines what it means to be Logan's "go-to" person. This December, Ann will retire as executive secretary to Logan President Dr. George A. Goodman. And though she will leave her post behind, Ann's impressions on the Logan community will remain. Compassionate and caring Ann began her long-running career with Logan on Aug. 30, 1982, as a secretary in the audiovisual department. By 1986, she moved into an assistant position in the Office of Chiropractic Affairs where Dr. Goodman served as vice president, and later became the executive secretary to Dr. Goodman in January 1993 when he assumed the presidency at Logan. With her vast knowledge of the institution and access to Logan leadership, it's not surprising that staff and faculty often make a point of dropping by to see Ann. But they insist it is Ann's pleasant disposition that draws them in. "I always enjoy sticking my head in her door when I am passing by and shooting the breeze for a few seconds," said Dr. Daryl Ridgeway, associate professor and chair of the chiropractic 2 LOGAN COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC/UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE Immediate past president of the Logan Faculty Council Dr. Brian Snyder was just a student when Ann joined the Logan staff. During his transition to faculty member, Dr. Snyder found it easy to connect with Ann, who had become that familiar face on the second floor. "I think people are drawn to her personality and compassion," he said. "You're never hesitant to walk in and talk to her if you have a problem. Her departure will be a void for all of us, and it's going to be hard to find a replacement given Ann's knowledge." Dr. Martha Kaeser also recalls Ann's role as an information source during her years as a college student. Now as a faculty member and director of the assessment center, Dr. Kaeser finds herself returning to Ann's desk, seeking professional assistance from her competent and resourceful colleague. "Ann Carter brought a unique character and professional skillset to her position. She will be missed and her position will be challenging to fill because there is only one Ann Carter." - DR. NORMAN KETTNER "I always go to Ann because I know she has the answers, and you could always count on her being pleasant and kind," Dr. Kaeser said. "I feel fortunate to be friends with her and to have worked with her." Hardworking and trustworthy After working full time at Logan each week, it is not uncommon to find Ann lending her helping hands to Logan events on campus in the evenings or on weekends. Bob Snyder, close friend and former director of Logan's Learning Resources Center, said Ann puts in whatever hours are required and then will add hours that are not required to her day because she feels the job at hand is important or necessary. For example, in the early days of ACC-RAC, before the installment of an executive director, it was Ann who co-organized the conference. In recent years, she has coordinated the 50+ Logan alumni gatherings along with organizing any other function the college needs. "Ann has always been there to help or give words of advice, and I feel privileged to know her and to have worked with her." - DR. DARYL RIDGEWAY Bob Snyder and Ann Carter With all that can change in a 30-year career, Ann remains constant. Ann's colleagues say she has always been hard working, positive and eager to help. Her close friend Bob Snyder says Ann's love for her job contributed to her success. "She likes having a finger on the pulse of what's going on at Logan," said Snyder. Friendly and full of life As December draws near, the Logan community will certainly take note of Ann's absence in Dr. Goodman's office. Staff said while they will miss hearing about her family and stories of her Italian ancestry (although she is half Irish, too), they know she will keep in touch. As her chiropractor, Dr. Brian Snyder also hopes to continue seeing her both as a patient and as a friend. Dr. Kaeser also intends on maintaining their relationship. "As her friend, I know I'll continue to see her outside of Logan, but here I'll miss her professional help," she said. For Dr. Ridgeway, he will miss the opportunity to chat about family. He said he always knew that if Ann was having a hectic day, he could make her smile by mentioning one topic. "When I bring up her grandchildren, I just stand back and watch her face light up with a huge smile, especially when she talks about her teenage grandson, a budding musician," he said. "I will definitely miss these talks the most when she retires." "I'm going to miss the opportunity to always stop in and say hi, but I wish her well in her retirement." - DR. MARTHA KAESER Dr. Norman Kettner agrees. As professor and chair of Logan's Radiology Department, Dr. Kettner has also known Ann since she first began her career at Logan. He said Ann thrived amid Logan's fast-paced nature and loved finding solutions to challenges. Because this story is a "surprise" for Ann, who would never have agreed to serving as The Tower's cover feature, Bob Snyder shared information about Ann's future plans. According to Bob, she plans to spend retirement with her family and friends and attend concerts, trivia nights or live theater. He said she also intends to stay close to Logan and volunteer at future Homecoming events. "Her courtesy and efficiency were only exceeded by her presence, poise and professionalism—working with Ann was easy and productive," he said. "From a personal perspective, Ann was warmhearted and her sense of humor always contributed to a welcoming environment." "Ann has truly been a fixture at Logan, and I think people will miss her presence and personality the most," Bob said. "No question, she'll be a great loss to Logan. Ann Carter has been a significant part of my life since 1986. We have shared many experiences that occur with working together for 26 years. Specifically, we shared the drama of the Presidential search, while I was Vice President, in 1992, the untimely death of Ann's life partner and husband Jack fifteen years ago, to Ann being our wedding planner in 2001. You can only imagine how many storms, crises and chaotic events we have witnessed together. Ann is a devout Catholic who handles all problems with grace by quickly sprinkling the Holy Water she stores in her desk drawer along with making a quick call to the Pink Sisters that she keeps on speed dial. These actions have made this Lutheran a believer. Ann has been intensely loyal and held together the office of the President with complete dignity. Over the past 26 years we have had literally hundreds of visitors and guests that I believe have gone away with the impression of being greeted with genuine friendliness and caring. Our office has always been a bee-hive of activity and yet, never once has Ann complained of the work load or hours. Ann, Liz and I will always remain close friends. We have shared not only our Logan life together, but so much more beyond Logan. FA L L 2 0 1 2 3 LOGAN CURRICULA Logan Students Learn Beyond the Classroom Online Curricula Expands to Serve Distance Learners Students worldwide are now one click away from the Logan educational experience. Today, the web transports our online curricula directly to remote learners, making the miles between our students and the campus fade among the distance-learning options. logical step called for taking the masterlevel program online. The simplicity of the online learning experience contrasts with the laborious 10-year process Logan undertook to deliver its courses to scholars regardless of geography. What began with a federal grant earned in 2002 to purchase videoconferencing equipment has evolved throughout the years into accredited online curricula, including Logan's Master of Science Degree in Nutrition and Human Performance now offered entirely online and on campus. "We embarked on this journey a decade ago," said Elizabeth A. Goodman, DC, PhD, Logan's dean of university programs. "It was obvious to our administration that Logan needed a learning management platform to incorporate web-based education into our on-campus coursework. We wanted to then take this platform and develop it into specific online coursework that our trained faculty could take to students across the country and around the globe." To make this vision a reality, Logan hired specialists to develop its distance education program and invested in Blackboard™ technology, which Logan's Associate Vice President of Education Technology Vince McGee, MSEd, considers an incomparable distancelearning tool. With the top talent and 4 "We began seeking approval from the HLC to offer our master's program as a hybrid where our faculty could share its class lectures with students online, while completing the hands-on instruction on campus," said Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. "This blended format met the needs of modern students and practicing DCs who desired advanced learning but had the barriers of time and distance to manage." technology in place, the Logan administration concentrated on its next move: creating the Logan hybrid and submitting it to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association for approval. Hands-on Care, Online Study The year 2007 forever changed the landscape of the Logan campus. Logan broke ground with its first Master of Science Degree in Sports Science and Rehabilitation. The program appealed to both Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) and non-DC students alike. With such a broad student audience and immediate demand for the courses, Logan's next LOGAN COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC/UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE Behind the scenes, Logan administrators and its technology specialists, including McGee and Nicholas Farha, Ph.D., worked to perfect the technological applications and to demonstrate to the HLC that students benefitted from the same learning outcomes regardless of an on-campus or online delivery format. "Throughout this process, our educational mission never changed," added Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. "It's our job to employ best practices that ensure students' learning outcomes." According to McGee, this is where the Blackboard platform shines. He says Blackboard offers several matrices for Logan to measure student outcomes, including how much time the students spend logged into the course. As the administration worked through its HLC review, Logan faculty had some homework to complete as well. "To teach courses online through our Blackboard system, our faculty has to become Blackboard certified, and the process is quite extensive," noted McGee. "Our instructors have to succeed as online students before they can become online educators." Virtually Complete The approval and subsequent success of the hybrid program compelled Logan to return to the commission four years later. This time, Logan was after something different: introducing its entire Master of Science Degree in Nutrition and Human Performance to students online. Ironically, Logan's earlier online achievements made it more difficult to earn HLC approval for the nutrition degree, as the commission has guidelines regarding the amount of online education an institution can offer. "The current literature affirms our focus on online education and motivates us to continue working on behalf of the distant learner," said Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. "Research supports that online learning is an effective and preferred format for mature students who are seeking graduate education options. These young men and women are digitally savvy—they thrive in their own environments, and they're independent, focused learners." After the commission's site visit to Logan in 2011, it approved the new master's program's online format. Following this milestone, HLC authorized Logan to offer a variety of our undergraduate science courses online. Currently, Logan provides the following accelerated science courses online and on campus: physics, chemistry, organic chemistry and algebra. Through Logan's online channels, students can now complete two semesters of science coursework in only one semester's time. certain subject areas are mastered. Some of our greatest online tools include the discussion functions and Blackboard's tracking mechanisms, which allow instructors to engage with their students and to know exactly where students are with their studies at any given time." A Look Online Logan's online curriculum isn't for everyone—only students who, just like their campus counterparts, submit to the traditional admission standards and earn secure access to the online coursework. Once accepted to the program, online students enjoy the same instruction provided on campus and all of Logan's student service offerings. "There is no distinction among our Logan students," confirmed Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. "All students receive the same attention and care regardless of where they take their Logan classes or the degree program they are seeking." For example, Logan requires distance learners to complete an online orientation prior to their studies. These students have access to a 24/7 help line, counseling and all other services provided to students on the Logan campus. Once students are online, they can select from a menu of tools and view the exact same materials provided to students in the classroom, including PowerPoint lectures, X-rays and multimedia content. They also can use dedicated online grading and discussion tools that promote interaction between faculty and students, and their fellow online classmates. "Logan faculty members own their curriculum whether presented online or in the classroom," said Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. "They have the latitude to design online courses so students, for example, can study ahead or review assignments during our trimester recesses, or they can prohibit advancement until Future Plans Despite the progress Logan has made with its online curricula options, the administration and its technology experts remain focused on the future. "Our current online coursework is open to all accepted students, complementing the practice of chiropractic but not requiring the pursuit of a chiropractic degree," said Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. "Take, for instance, our accelerated science coursework now offered online. These students can enter one of our graduate programs or pursue a healthrelated degree from any college or university. Still, we've exposed them to chiropractic-based education, and that's an immeasurable benefit." Next, Logan would like to offer a number of DC courses online, while exploring other degree programs as well. Another area of focus is postgraduate education. "We need postgraduate offerings to be original and online," said Dr. Elizabeth Goodman. "Now, some states only sanction postgraduate courses in the states where the DC is licensed. We'd like to continue knocking down barriers to chiropractic-based education and make quality courses and instruction available to all DCs who wish to enhance their education. It's important for Logan to stay ahead of this movement and continue advancing our online curricula to help our doctors."

Yochum's Gift to Logan Radiology Dr. George A. Goodman with Dr. Terry Yochum and his wife Inge. "You have to give before you can receive." These words were shared with Dr. Terry Yochum early in his career. "I once asked the chiropractic legend Dr. Monte Greenawalt the secrets to his success, and I've never forgotten his words," recalled Dr. Yochum, DC, DACBR, Fellow, ACCR, owner of Rocky Mountain Chiropractic Radiological Center located in Arvada, Colo. "Back then, I remember telling Dr. Greenawalt I didn't have much to give, I had little money but was working on a book." Dr. Yochum would spend the next six years giving what he could to his profession and all that he had to his book. With his pen in hand, he wrote 10,000 pages, which took his secretary four and a half years working 50 hours a week to type. His words, first printed by a medical publishing house in 1987, remain required reading for chiropractic students and serve as reference text in 100 medical schools worldwide. Now in its third edition with more than 100,000 copies sold, including 25,000 copies in use by medical doctors globally, "Essentials of Skeletal Radiology" opened doors for Dr. Yochum's career and knocked down barriers for chiropractic. "I was the first chiropractic author to have a book distributed by a medical publishing house," added Dr. Yochum. "When my 8 LOGAN COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC/UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE textbook became a best-seller, medical publishing houses took note and began printing more works by chiropractic authors. I'm proud to have broken that barrier." With the success of his textbook, Dr. Yochum's career quickly expanded from practitioner and author to international speaker. The chiropractic radiologist who had once sought the counsel of Dr. Greenawalt, found himself as a global educator and mentor for thousands of chiropractic and medically trained professionals. Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together "X-ray to me is like a puzzle," commented Dr. Yochum. "As a chiropractic radiologist, I get to play Sherlock Holmes and put the pieces together to improve patient care. It's a stimulating challenge for me, academically and clinically." According to Dr. Yochum, the X-ray guides the chiropractor. The image can confirm an accurate diagnosis, which then leads to effective chiropractic treatments. "X-ray provides us with a window into the possible pathologies. Since the early 1900s, X-ray has served as a critical diagnostic tool providing for the comprehensive evaluation of patients." The puzzle pieces of Dr. Yochum's career soon revealed greater opportunities to give back to his profession. Through new editions of his text, guest lectures and his practice, he gave his time and expertise; and then, he found a missing piece that would lead him home. The Logan Connection Dr. Yochum led Logan's radiology department in the late 1970s. As department chair, he recognized the power of education in expanding the profession and chiropractic's benefits. When he left Logan for a post as the director of radiology for the Institute of Technology School of Chiropractic in Melbourne, Australia, St. Louis remained home. "My father practiced in South St. Louis, it's my hometown and I frequently visit to see family and teach," said Dr. Yochum. "When I would come back to Logan, what I saw was the premier radiology residency program. I was so impressed with the department, led by my friend and colleague Dr. Norman Kettner, that I sent my daughter Alicia there. I didn't graduate from Logan, but I chose to send my daughter here, which speaks volumes for the school and its radiology department." During a recent trip to Logan, Dr. Yochum saw a need— and responded. "After visiting the health centers, my wife and I pledged matching funds so that Logan could immediately convert the three satellite centers to a digital X-ray platform, which was already present in the main clinic radiology suite on Logan's campus," said Dr. Yochum. "It's something Inge, my wife and best friend, and I wanted to do." Dr. Yochum's generosity emanates from his belief that "students are the future of the profession, and it's important to give back to the future." His actions also reflect the words he often recalls from Dr. Greenawalt. Dr. Alicia Yochum, who graduated summa cum laude from Logan in December 2011. "What Dr. Yochum gave to us at Logan is the capability to employ digital X-ray technology throughout our community health centers," explained Dr. Kettner. "His matching donation facilitated the health centers' move to rapid imaging communications between our department and the centers' clinicians." Logan has already installed all of the digital X-ray equipment, thanks to Dr. Gary Guebert, BS, DC, DACBR, who managed the conversion. Now, the health centers and Logan's radiology department electronically modify and move images, which Dr. Kettner says unifies Logan's health center system, provides superior imaging compared to analog radiography and, ultimately, supports more efficient and accurate diagnoses. "I've known Dr. Yochum for years," said Dr. Kettner. "He's industrious. He sets his eyes on a goal, rolls up his sleeves and gets it done. He's also one of the most generous individuals I've ever met, in all senses of the word generosity. He gives of his time, knowledge and finances." Dr. Kettner describes the new technology as state of the art yet cost effective. "It's important that we expose our students to technology and equipment they can one day use in practice," he said. "Our department now is incomparable. We offer the best in technology and expertise." The Next Generation Logan's reputation acts as a magnet, attracting supporters like Dr. Yochum and promising students and residents, including Dr. Alicia Yochum. "Alicia had no idea that her mother and I were going to make this gift," said Dr. Yochum. "This gift is for the future of all Logan graduates and our profession." As for Dr. Alicia Yochum, who graduated summa cum laude from Logan in December 2011, the former ICU-nurse now spends her days working in her father's former department under the direction of Dr. Kettner as a radiology resident. "I'm so proud of Alicia and her accomplishments," said Dr. Yochum. "She represents the third generation in our family to practice chiropractic and to pursue our shared passion of radiology. I know it would please my father, Kenneth E. Yochum, DC, and it certainly pleases me." Dr. Terry Yochum's future plans call for continued giving of himself to his beloved profession. Often asked to speak at commencement ceremonies, Dr. Yochum seizes the opportunity to share what he has learned on his chiropractic journey. "You can't give yourself into poverty," said Dr. Yochum. "I always impart this wisdom, which Dr. Greenawalt first shared with me, with recent graduates. We all have knowledge, energy and clinical expertise that we need to share with others. For me, I dedicate the majority of my gifts of time, expertise and finances to Logan because I want to give all I can to help keep Logan in the spotlight of excellence." FA L L 2 0 1 2 9 FOCUS ON GIVING Your Gift: An Investment in Logan Logan is a vibrant learning community dedicated to student success and chiropractic advancement and outstanding graduate programs that are complementary. Your gifts reach far beyond our campus and support Logan's foundation—our students. The Logan student represents a constant and worthy investment, generating returns for every graduate who holds a Logan diploma, every patient who has enjoyed improved health and performance, and every member of our extended Logan family. Despite all we've accomplished, we have more work to do on behalf of the Logan student. Mission Critical The Logan mission continues and your gift is an investment. Invest in Logan students. Invest in Logan's continuous improvement. Invest in the educational future of the profession. Invest by giving to Logan's annual fund. Countless donors have come together over the years to assist our students so they can reach their educational and career goals. Their academic and professional achievements make Logan one of the best chiropractic colleges and universities in North America. Our Logan graduates and their future successes elevate our profession. Now, imagine what we, and our students, can achieve if every alumnus and every friend of Logan lend a hand and pledge to support this critical mission. How high can we reach? How far can we take our institution and our chiropractic profession? Every donor matters and every dollar counts to Logan and our students. No amount is too small … every contribution helps us advance our mission. 10 L O G A N C O L L E G E O F C H I R O P R A C T I C / U N I V E R S I T Y P R O G R A M S SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE Many Ways to Make a Difference We encourage donors to give annually— to Logan's annual fund. Logan's annual fund offers these designated giving opportunities. Logan's Area of Greatest Needs Some donors offer their gifts, leave their mark and allow Logan to determine how best to allocate their funds. Most often, Logan applies those contributions to timely operational needs. These gifts provide tremendous value to Logan and the students we serve. The Assessment Center's METIman Standardized patients represent one of the most significant assets provided inside the Assessment Center, and an educational best practice. These patients help create a safe environment for student exposure—introducing Logan students to specific clinical scenarios before they're encountered in private practice. Our students can then practice their specialized skills and techniques, earning immediate feedback from their "patient" and the observing clinician or Logan faculty member. To augment our standardized patient practice, Logan recently purchased a human simulator, METIman. The fullbody mannequin ensures students experience pathologies that they may not otherwise encounter. METIman responds verbally and physiologically to actions or omissions by the student. For example, the human simulator is capable of presenting: reactive pupils; irregular heart; irregular pulses; carotid and abdominal aortic arterial bruits; and irregular blood pressure and respiratory rates, to name just a few. METIman effectively personifies conditions and scenarios Logan students learn about in class, providing them with a hands-on training experience conducted in a safe, simulated environment. William M.

F A L L 2 0 1 2 13 LOGAN PROGRAMS Amanda Smith and Jordan Pond Finding Common Ground with the 3+3 Articulation Program By the start of his senior year of high school, Jordan Pond knew he wanted to be a chiropractor and could not wait to get started. Luckily, there was a program in place, designed for people just like him. Jordan's guidance counselor at Northview High School in Brazil, Ind., told Jordan about the 3+3 articulation program, in which students complete their first three years of undergraduate study (at least 90 semester hours of specific coursework including physics, chemistry and biology) at their undergraduate home institution, then transfer to a chiropractic college to start their Doctor of Chiropractic program. By the end of their first year in the Doctor of Chiropractic program, these students earn the credit hours needed to receive their bachelor's degrees from undergraduate colleges while satisfying the basic science requirements and completing their first year of graduate studies leading to the Doctor of Chiropractic degree. 14 L O G A N C O L L E G E O F C H I R O P R A C T I C / U N I V E R S I T Y P R O G R A M S SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE The guidance counselor pointed Jordan to Logan College of Chiropractic/University Programs, which has a 3+3 articulation agreement with the University of Southern Indiana (USI). Today, Jordan has a bachelor's degree in biology from USI and is a Tri-7 student on track to graduate a year earlier than if he hadn't enrolled in the 3+3 program. "Logan's 3+3 program was very convenient for me," said Smith, a Tri-7 student who started her education at Hannibal-LaGrange University in Hannibal, Mo. "I was able to combine one year of undergraduate school with the beginning of my graduate education. This saved me money as well. I've also enjoyed the convenience of finishing school a year sooner than my fellow students since everyone else attended four years of undergraduate school before attending Logan. I loved being able to attend the two schools of my choice. At both institutions, I experienced many personal and educational benefits while saving time and money." Jordan's journey from high school to USI to Logan through the 3+3 program is a prime example of how a successful articulation agreement can work: academic institutions working side-by-side in the best interest of the student. "To me, the 3+3 meant less debt overall and quicker turnover to doing something I love," he said. "It was definitely the right decision for me financially and timing wise." More options for students Though 3+3 agreements have existed at Logan since the early 1990s, Logan's admissions team has been taking a more strategic approach to the program throughout the past year and is further developing a national presence. "What we are trying to do now is really cultivate the agreements and build up the existing program," said Mary Nagle, assistant director of admissions. "The biggest advantage in partnering with colleges and universities is that it allows them to market to high school students." "To me, the 3+3 meant less debt overall and quicker turnover to doing something I love. It was definitely the right decision for me financially and timing wise." Ongoing communication was key throughout Jordan Pond's time at USI and during his transition to Logan. He said it was the guidance and encouragement he received along the way from both institutions that gave him the confidence to stick with the rigorous curriculum. "My advisor did everything in his power to make sure I was put in the classes I needed to continue on in the 3+3 program and was very supportive of it the whole time," he said. "At the end of my first year at Logan, an admissions counselor contacted me to see how I was doing." Jordan said he would recommend the 3+3 program to anyone who is confident that chiropractic is the profession they want to pursue. "It saves you money, especially if you are attending –Jordan Pond an expensive undergraduate school," he said. "Plus, it allows you to move through the laborious Nagle said that forming a partnership with these educational curriculum a year earlier, taking you just one step institutions demonstrates a home institution's willingness to closer to your goal." diversify its curriculum and embrace chiropractic. 3+3 Logan currently has 3+3 articulation agreements with 50 colleges and universities across 23 states. The most recent institution to join the roster is Benedictine University at Springfield in Illinois. Logan and Benedictine University's agreement stemmed from a relationship built between Dr. Todd Lafrenz, Director of PreProfessional Health Programs at Benedictine University at Springfield, and Logan's Director of Admissions Steve Held. Throughout the years, Logan had received many Benedictine University graduates, and Held was already engaged with Benedictine, serving on a health care professionals' panel. "Health science is one of the fastest-growing areas for enrollment," Dr. Lafrenz said. "With our recent additions of biology and health science degree programs, the articulation agreement with Logan made perfect sense. It gives Benedictine the advantage of offering students another career path to achieve their educational and career objectives while saving them time and resources." Students Jordan and Amanda Smith couldn't agree more. The 3+3 edge In addition to giving students a competitive and financial advantage, the 3+3 program offers similar benefits to the institutions. In this day and age, Held said, it's a win-win for both. "Colleges and universities are seeing the big picture and are receptive," he said. "The 3+3 partnership requires no financial commitment—it's an academic agreement that serves the student." The articulation world has truly changed the cost of education. For students, it is economical to start their chiropractic education before setting foot on campus; at the same time, the home institutions are broadening their prospective student base by offering more career options. On Logan's campus, it's bringing students with a passion for chiropractic one step closer to their goal of providing exceptional patient care while also forming partnerships with new institutions whose educational missions align with Logan's mission. F A L L 2 0 1 2 15 LOGAN PROGRAMS 3+3 Articulation Program Partner Institutions Fortunately, at Benedictine it was just a matter of plugging Logan's curriculum into Benedictine's health science degrees. From a curricula and a geographic perspective, the partnership was a perfect fit. Of all articulation agreements that Benedictine University at Springfield and its parent, Benedictine University at Lisle, have with partner institutions, the 3+3 partnership with Logan is the only one where students earn both a Bachelor of Science and a doctorate degree—just another aspect of the program that Benedictine can tout. I loved being able to attend the two schools of my choice. At both A cohesive partnership Dr. Lafrenz looks forward to institutions, I boosting awareness of the 3+3 experienced agreement with Logan and positioning Benedictine as an many personal avenue toward a chiropractic and educational degree. benefits while "Our goal is to build the saving time and relationship much earlier on, exposing incoming freshmen to money." options and possibilities so we can –Amanda Smith fine-tune a path for them," he said. "One of the ways we'll be doing that is through a letter of intent, which tells us which freshman students may be interested in this particular career path." Held also is working on a plan that will target three areas of the 3+3 program: focusing on institutions in close geographical proximity to Logan, forming partnerships with institutions that consistently send students to Logan, and further strengthening and leveraging Logan's existing partnerships within the 3+3 program. "It's important that we stay in close communication with our partner colleges and universities," he said. "The 3+3 program is built around giving students at a home institution a solid path to Logan. In a partner institution where we have that close connection, students have the greatest opportunity for success." 16 L O G A N C O L L E G E O F C H I R O P R A C T I C / U N I V E R S I T Y P R O G R A M S SCIENCE AND NATURE ALIGNED IN BALANCE Alabama Auburn University Arizona Grand Canyon University Arkansas Henderson State University Illinois Benedictine University at Springfield Eastern Illinois University Greenville College Lewis University Indiana Ball State University Indiana University-Kokomo University of Saint Francis University of Southern Indiana Iowa University of Northern Iowa Kansas Pittsburg State University Kentucky Morehead State University Murray State University Maine University of Maine-Orono Michigan Eastern Michigan University Minnesota Southwest Minnesota State University Missouri Avila University Hannibal-LaGrange College Lincoln University Lindenwood University Northwest Missouri State University Southeast Missouri State University Truman State University University of Missouri-St. Louis Nebraska University of Nebraska-Kearney Wayne State College New Jersey Bloomfield College Fairleigh Dickinson CollegeTeaneck Campus Fairleigh Dickinson CollegeMadison Campus New York Elmira College North Carolina University of North CarolinaCharlotte Fayetteville State University North Dakota University of Mary Ohio Mount Vernon Nazarene University University of Rio Grande Oklahoma Oklahoma State University Pennsylvania California University Clarion University Indiana University of Pennsylvania Keystone College King's College Philadelphia University Shippensburg University Slippery Rock University Tennessee Middle Tennessee University West Virginia Marshall University Wisconsin Carthage College Viterbo University AROUND LOGAN AROUND Logan Admissions: to a Logan Admissions: ComingComing to a City Near YouCity Members of Logan s admissions staff dedicate their careers t Members of Logan's admissions staff dedicate their careers to the the future: our students.

CUMBERLAND ŌĆö At 56 years of age, Scott Miller, a small business owner, doesnŌĆÖt have to take part in the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge ŌĆō a grueling, two-day, 192-mile trek from Sturbridge to the tip of Cape Cod in Provincetown.
The Cumberland resident just chooses to, and he has dozens of explanations as to why he participates in the longest, most difficult version of the PMC.
Contributing writer
PAWTUCKET --- If Tuesday nightŌĆÖs game proved anything, itŌĆÖs that, in baseball, a team should always play until the final out. Whenever a team is considered down and out, as long as three outs havenŌĆÖt been recorded in the last inning, a team can still come out victorious.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Sometimes, heŌĆÖs simply carrying out marching orders from those above him. Other times, he engages in small talk, a sign that allows the ballplayers to comprehend that, yes, this particular minor-league manager will ŌĆ£have our backs if we heed his expectations.ŌĆØ
You see it during batting practice when PawSox skipper Gary DiSarcina sprays fungos to the infielders while standing not too far from the batting cage. A bum shoulder prevents DiSarcina from throwing a round or two. He makes up for it in other areas such as assuming an even greater instructional role.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Pineview Big League skipper Joe Clark revels in this kind of problem.
Thanks to his clubŌĆÖs simplistic 10-1 victory over East Greenwich in the championship game of the R.I. Big League (15-18) All-Star Tournament at its PresidentŌĆÖs Field home on Sunday afternoon, Clark and Co. earned a berth in the U.S. Eastern Regional Big League tourney in Dover, Del., one that begins Saturday.
With the title, unbeaten Pineview qualified for its third straight regional event, but will need to raise approximately $5,000 to make the trek.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆō The Town Council is not scheduled to convene this month. Those plans have changed thanks to the proposed significant upgrades to the football and track portions of Tucker Field.
Parks and Recreation Director Michael Crawley confirmed late last week that everythingŌĆÖs in place for the council to gather this coming Wednesday night. The hope is that this special meeting will bring the town one step closer to commencing a construction project that some will say is long overdue.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Pineview Big League skipper Joe Clark admitted his club didn't exhibit the kind of superb defense he expected from a lot of high school players in a 3-2 victory over East Greenwich on Tuesday night.
Sure, Clark and Co. won the game, but they looked rather shaky doing it.
That's why he chose to have a short conference with his young men prior to facing Edgewood/South Elmwood in the R.I. Big League (15-18) All-Star Tournament's winners-bracket final at the Doreen A. Tomlinson Athletic Complex' Presidents' Field on Friday night.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆō The old phrase ŌĆ£Familiarity breeds contemptŌĆØ took a beating at the Arnold Mills Four-Mile Road Race on steamy Fourth of July morning.
Perhaps a better way to put the overall mood after Northeastern University junior-to-be Brian Doyle, the 20-year-old son of former Ocean State marathon great Bobby Doyle, crossed the finish line in a cautious but solid winning time of 21:07: The mutual admiration society.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō In Rubby De La Rosa and Anthony Carter, you have two PawSox pitchers who have come a long way since the end of April.
Validation for their efforts in the ensuing months came in the form of a nice reward Wednesday, as the pair was selected to represent the franchise and International League at the Triple-A All-Star Game. The midseason get-together pitting the best players from the I.L. and Pacific Coast League is on tap for Wednesday, July 17 in Reno, Nevada.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Where thereŌĆÖs a will, thereŌĆÖs a ŌĆ" possible return to the Boston Red Sox?
While it should be noted that Will Middlebrooks entered PawtucketŌĆÖs record books on Wednesday night, there is a much bigger picture to consider. The sledgehammer he took to Scranton/Wilkes-BarreŌĆÖs pitching staff came with a note attached: IŌĆÖm getting close.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō The third largest crowd of the year to fill McCoy Stadium expected to see a solid pitching performance on Tuesday night.
But instead of watching a strong outing from one of the Boston Red SoxŌĆÖs top prospects, they saw one from a journeyman reliever who is his first full season as a starter in eight years.
CUMBERLAND -- As the girls representing the Cumberland A All-Star squad posed for family photos in center field, manager Chris Boddington just smiled, soaking in the joy.
His kids had just clinched the programŌĆÖs fourth consecutive R.I. Little League District IV Major Division (11-12) Tournament crown after rolling to an 8-2 victory over North Smithfield on Tuesday, this before approximately 125 fans at Diamond Hill Park, and the head coach chuckled while holding yet another championship banner.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö On one hand, the phrase ŌĆ£birds of a feather flock togetherŌĆØ seems applicable to the scouting contingent that showed up in droves last weekend at McCoy Stadium.
The section behind home plate became known as an open-air baseball boardroom; one PawSox game featured as many as nine scouts. Remember, the July 31 non-waiver deadline is not that far off ŌĆō four weeks from Wednesday to be exact.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö ItŌĆÖs hard to believe, but for the first time this season, the Pawtucket Red Sox have lost three straight games.
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders made the most out of eight extra-base hits (and their second straight game with four home runs) and overcame a big afternoon from PawSox third baseman Will Middlebrooks on Sunday in producing a 9-6 victory before the fourth largest crowd at McCoy Stadium.
PAWTUCKET --- After opening his 2012 season with four woeful starts for the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs, Brock Huntzinger knew that something drastic needed to be done to resurrect not only his season, but possibly his career.
ŌĆ£I just felt like, ŌĆśI get it, I know how this game works,ŌĆØ he recalled. ŌĆ£You either put up or (the organization) gets rid of you or sends you down. I knew there was more in the tank for me as a pitcher, so I had to do something.ŌĆØ
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Prior to Darlington American's R.I. Little League District II All-Star Major Division (11-12) Tournament opener against Warren on rainy Wednesday, manager Kevin Andella struggled with whom to start on the hill: Co-aces Seth Watson or Chris Pierce.
He chose Watson, and it proved to be an outstanding move. The right-hander baffled the Warren lineup, hurling 3 1/3 innings of no-hit, nine-strikeout ball as DALL captured a satisfying 7-2 victory.
A little of this, a little of that ŌĆ"
Based on recent discussion by the Rhode Island Interscholastic LeagueŌĆÖs PrincipalsŌĆÖ Committee on Athletics, it might be time to chisel in stone the following commandment:
ŌĆ£Thou shalt not alter the makeup of divisions in non-realignment years.ŌĆØ
The time has come to take a hard line on teams petitioning the PCOA to move up or down in the midst of a given realignment cycle. The 2013-14 school term marks the conclusion of a two-year realignment, a precursor to the presumed changes to the realignment formula that figure to take effect in 2014-15.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Xander Bogaerts took groundballs at McCoy Stadium on Thursday afternoon, a pregame ritual that the promising shortstop has down to a science.
This particular day was different. Not only was Bogaerts taking grounders at third base, but ŌĆō as an added bonus ŌĆō he was the under the tutelage of someone who knows a thing or two about manning the hot corner.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö The names have changed, but the results have stayed the same.
A year after cruising through the District IV ranks, as well as the best teams the rest of Rhode Island had to offer, en route to its second straight Major Division state championship, CumberlandŌĆÖs formidable ŌĆśAŌĆÖ team picked up where it left off by earning its third mercy-rule victory in as many games before a large gathering at Diamond Hill Park.
Seth Cohen is proud of the business-like fashion that his client conducted himself in during arguably the most important stretch of basketball in his young life.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Will Middlebrooks spoke so softly that it felt as if the PawSox clubhouse had been transformed into a church.
The struggling third baseman didnŌĆÖt attempt to mask his disappointment regarding a season that has hardly gone according to plan. For the moment, finding a silver lining in the fact that he was sent down is an impossible endeavor. It probably didnŌĆÖt ease MiddlebrooksŌĆÖ frustration that WednesdayŌĆÖs Red Sox-RockiesŌĆÖ game was being featured on the clubhouseŌĆÖs main television.

UN panel calls for moratorium on editing human genome
by Michael Cook
| 8 Oct 2015 |
Warning that rapid advances in genetics make "designer babies" an increasing possibility, a United Nations panel today called for a moratorium on "editing" the human genome, pending wider public debate lest changes in DNA be transmitted to future generations or foster eugenics.
While acknowledging the therapeutic value of genetic interventions, the panel stressed that the process raises serious concerns, especially if the editing of the human genome should be applied to the germline, thereby introducing hereditary modifications.
"Gene therapy could be a watershed in the history of medicine and genome editing is unquestionably one of the most promising undertakings of science for the sake of all humankind," the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said in a news release on a report by its International Bioethics Committee (IBC).
But the IBC added: "Interventions on the human genome should be admitted only for preventive, diagnostic…

Harassment "pervasive" among Australian surgeons
by Michael Cook
| 3 Oct 2015 |
The late Edmund Pellegrino, the chairman of the President's Council on Bioethics under George W. Bush, was a champion of approaching bioethics through the lens of virtue ethics. A virtuous physician must also be a virtuous person, characterised by the character traits of courage, honesty, justice, wisdom, temperance and so on.
What would he say about the scandal which has blown up amongst Australian surgeons?
In March, a vascular surgeon, Gabrielle McMullin, made headlines when she complained about widespread sexism amongst her colleagues and about a toothless complaints mechanism. She said that she had advised surgical trainees to provide sexual favours or otherwise their career prospects would be damaged.
But the president of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Professor Michael Grigg, angrily denied that there was a culture of sexual harassment. "The inference is that this is what successful female surgeons and trainees…

Conscientious objection under fire in Canadian hearing aid case
An FM transmitter
Most disputes over conscientious objection concern issues like abortion and euthanasia. However, a case from Canada centres on a hearing aid.
William Sears, a third-year history student at Memorial University in Newfoundland, is hearing-impaired. When he attends lectures, he asks professors to wear an FM transmitter which transmits to his hearing aids. However, to his great surprise, Ranee Panjabi, who taught a course on the history of espionage, refused on religious grounds. She is a Hindu.
"I do have certain spiritual beliefs garnered over a lifetime of travel with my diplomat parents, intense study of many religious and spiritual sources," Ms Panjabi said. However, experts on Hinduism contacted by the Canadian media were baffled. They said that there was no Hindu belief which would preclude wearing an FM transmitter.
Apparently this is a long-standing conviction of Ms Panjabi because…

Creating Lexie's Village
Natalie Lovett and Lexie / Australian Story
IVF for single women who never found Mr Right is becoming more popular, even if it is still regarded with some misgivings. A documentary on Australian Story profiles a former Facebook executive, 46-year-old Natalie Lovett, who decided on single motherhood and a designer baby after several failed relationships.
"Have I done it all right? No. I, I've made so many mistakes in my life: so many. I've walked away from an amazing relationship in my early, late 20s because I chose career over it. Should I be punished for the rest of my life because I didn't make the right choices at the right time? I love my nieces and nephews so much, but they weren't my own."

UK transgender woman wants to be both father and mother
Another dispatch from the Wild West of assisted reproductive technology. The third place contestant in the UK's first Miss Transgender beauty competition wants to be the first Briton to be both father and mother of a child.
Fay Purdham, 27 (formerly Kevin McCamley) froze some of her sperm before transitioning to a woman via hormone treatments and surgery. Now she has launched a 100,000 pound crowd-funding appeal to help her engage a surrogate mother. If she is successful, she would be both the biological father and the adoptive mother. "Even before I knew I wanted to become a woman, I wanted to be a mother," she says.
Ms Purdham first raised the possibility of changing her gender with a doctor when she was 16. At 19 she changed her name by deed poll; at 21 she embarked upon gender reassignment surgery. At the moment she has a…

Mexican politician suggests lethal injections for the homeless
This belongs in the "ooops, I really shouldn't have said that" department rather than serious public policy -- but if some politicians think it, others might actually do it. Olga Gutierrez Machorro, a councillor in the local government of Tecamachalco, not far from Mexico City, has suggested that homeless beggars should be put down with a lethal injection to keep them off the streets.
"Yes they're a little crazy, but they're harmless. Which is why I think to myself wouldn't it be kinder to just give them a lethal injection?"
"Yes they're a little crazy, but they're harmless. Which is why I think to myself wouldn't it be kinder to just give them a lethal injection?"
She said in an interview with the local paper Diario Cambio that this would be an improvement on "wandering around on the roads in danger of being hit or causing an accident."
Ironically, Ms Gutierrez Machorro is the councillor responsible for the Vulnerable Groups Commission, a group which tries to find ways…

Do money and mother's milk mix?
by Carrie Arnold
| 3 Oct 2015 |
© Laura Breiling / Mosaic
Demand for human breast milk is increasing "exponentially". What are the ethics of creating a market for it?
North America is currently home to 19 milk banks, with nine more opening their doors soon. The Human Milk Banking Association of North America, which helps to run and accredit these banks, has gone from dispensing around 400,000 ounces of pasteurised donor human milk per year in 2000 to 3.8 million ounces in 2014. John Honaman, its Executive Director, says that the rise is due to both an increase in awareness of the health benefits of breast milk and an increase in the number of preterm infants who desperately need donated milk.
The American Academy for Pediatrics has stated: "all preterm infants should receive human milk. Mother's own milk, fresh or frozen, should be the primary diet, and…

What are the bioethics of Mars exploration?
by Michael Cook
| 2 Oct 2015 |
Ridley Scott's latest film, The Martian, opens this month. Matt Damon plays an astronaut who is left for dead on Mars after a catastrophic accident. His challenge is to survive long enough for a rescue mission to return to the Red Planet. He has to make water and air and grow plants – alone and hundreds of millions of kilometres from home. It's 93% fresh according to Rotten Tomatoes. "A muscular storytelling masterclass, a giddy audience-pleasing thrill-ride and certainly the most purely entertaining sci-fi movie since 2013's awards-magnet Gravity," according to the critic for the The Times (London).
It also provoked ethicist Janet D. Stemwedel to discuss in Forbes the bioethics (in a more capacious sense) of space colonisation.
Is it ethical to investigate the genetic component of IQ?
by Michael Cook
| 30 Sep 2015 |
With the advent of new genomic sequencing technologies, researchers around the world are working to identify genetic variants that help explain differences in intelligence. Can such findings be used to improve education for all, as some scientists believe? Or are they likely to have a chilling effect on programs meant to improve educational outcomes among disadvantaged populations? These are among the questions explored in "The Genetics of Intelligence: Ethics and the Conduct of Trustworthy Research," a special report of the leading bioethics journal, Hastings Center Report.
The report assesses the science and explores concerns about the implications of the research and interest in applying it to education. It concludes with recommendations to ensure that the research is done in a way that is trustworthy and avoids the "vortex of classism and racism."
The special report is the product of a workshop on responsible research and the genetics of…

Dutch doctor in hot water for refusing to approve euthanasia
by Michael Cook
| 26 Sep 2015 |
Milou de Moor
A Dutch general practitioner is being sued for not approving the euthanasia of a 19-year-old woman.
The tragic events surrounding the death of Milou de Moor could become an important legal precedent. Ms de Moor suffered from lupus, an autoimmune disease, from the age of 12. This was not only painful, but had severe psychological effects. She was subject to depression, mood swings, anger, blackouts and nerve pain. At least three years ago she requested euthanasia.
According to the story given to the media by her family and doctors, it appeared that all the necessary people had agreed, in accordance with the Dutch law on euthanasia. Her parents supported her decision. A date was set for her death. However, at the last minute, the (unnamed) general practitioner reneged and said that she did not believe that euthanasia was appropriate. Then the…

Hugh Jackman sat down with SiriusXM radio host Julie James to talk about his role in the feature film LES MISERABLES.

The Turkish Mediterranean Coast region
This is probably the easiest area of Turkey to get excited about. From Marmaris to Antalya the coastline is gorgeous, the weather is reliably excellent and there are heaps of things to see and do. The Turquoise coast at its finest has become the destination of first choice for many first time and repeat visitors to Turkey. It is also, of course, the area that shows the highest level of tourist development and there's some sort of race going on here. The rugged nature of the country slows the developers down but more and more of the coastline is being opened up. Datca for example, on the tip of the Marmaris peninsula and for years only accessible by narrow and twisty mountain road, will benefit from a new highway being carved through the mountains this year. Whether or not this is good or bad is way to complex a question for this correspondent.
This region corresponds to ancient Lycia and the Lycians knew a thing or two about designing cities that would degrade gracefully. Between Fethiye and Antalya there are a score of sites worth seeing, Lycian , Dorian, Roman, whatever. Highlights include Myra, Simena, and just about everything in the Xanthos valley, not forgetting the magical site at Olympos. Your best bases for these excursions are probably Hisaronu or Kalkan, any further East and the Xanthos stuff starts to become a little hard to get to.
The coastline from Marmaris to Fethiye is green and spectacular, the beaches are pretty good and it is here, usually via Dalaman or Antalya airports, that the charter planes bring the bulk of Turkey's summer visitors. Don't let this put you off. There are still plenty of places that not everyone gets to and you'll probably have a great time. The key to enjoying all the delights that this area offers is mobility and if you can hire a car or just get on the myriad of small buses running up and down the coast, the effort and expense will be repaid.
DO consider visiting out of season if you can. Anytime from April to October is fine and the spring in particular is lovely down here. In the autumn the water is still warm and you should find everything easier and cheaper outside of the July/August rush.
You can visit Patara, Kas, Fethiye, Oludeniz, Kekova, Gombe, Kaputas Beach, Saklikent, Islamlar ( famous with trout farms ) and lots of historical Lycia cities as Patara, Letoon, Tlos so on.
British newspaper The Independent listed Kalkan among the best tourist destinations for 2007. The paper recommended Kalkan especially for those seeking a romantic vacation and who do not want to travel far from their home country in Europe.
British newspaper The Independent listed Kalkan among the best tourist destinations for 2007. The paper recommended Kalkan especially for those seeking a romantic vacation and who do not want to travel far from their home country in Europe.
Kalkan is a town on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, and an important tourist destination. The area includes many historical sites and many fine beaches.
Kalkan is an old fishing town, and the only safe harbor between Kas and Fethiye; it is famous for its white-washed houses, descending to the sea, and its brightly coloured bougain villeas. It averages 300 days of sunshine a year.
Until the early 1920s, the majority of its inhabitants were Greeks. They left in 1923 because of the Exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey after the Greco-Turkish War and emigrated mainly to Attica, where they founded the new town of Kalamaki.
Kalkan was an important harbour town until the 1970s as the only seaport for the environs. It declined after construction of Fethiye road but revived after the emergence of the tourism industry in the region.
Although part of the Antalya province administratively, Kalkan is connected more closely to Fethiye economically and for transportation.
