Lakers' Anthony Davis to travel after negative MRI from fall

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anthony Davis plans to travel with the Los Angeles Lakers on their upcoming road trip after he bruised his buttocks in a nasty fall.
The Lakers announced encouraging news about their six-time All-Star's health Wednesday, a day after he left their blowout win over New York with a scary injury.
An MRI exam performed overnight on Davis showed no major concerns, and X-rays were negative. Davis was extremely sore, but his injuries appear to be only bruises.
The NBA's sixth-leading scorer is expected to be listed as questionable when the Lakers open a two-game road trip Friday in Dallas.
Davis was hurt when he fell hard on his back and tailbone after trying to block the shot of New York's Julius Randle in the third quarter of the Lakers' sixth straight win, 117-87 over the Knicks on Tuesday night.
Davis pounded the court in pain and stayed down for about two minutes while his teammates gathered around him. He eventually rose with help and walked off the court slowly, but under his own power.
After the game, the Lakers' Danny Green called it an "ugly fall, man. It's probably going to take some time, seeing how long it took for him to get up and walk out of here, the way he's walking out of here."
The news might not be as bad as the Lakers feared, however.
The team initially diagnosed the injury as a bruised sacrum — the lower part of the spine. But the Lakers altered their diagnosis to a soft-tissue bruise after the MRI, which likely means the injury is less serious.
The Western Conference-leading Lakers (30-7) were off Wednesday. They play the Mavericks on Friday and at Oklahoma City on Saturday before returning to Los Angeles.
Davis will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, but he is widely expected to re-sign with the Lakers. He is averaging 27.7 points and 9.5 rebounds in his first season with Los Angeles after the team traded most of its young core to New Orleans for him.
"He's one of our pillars," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. "He's our present. He's our future. He's one of the best players in the world, so obviously he means a lot."

Bethel Names Brad Foster as Next Tennis Head Coach
by Paul Condry | May 29, 2019 | Headlines, RRSN News | 0 comments
MISHAWAKA, Ind. – Bethel College Athletic Director Tom Visker is pleased to announce that Brad Foster has been named as the men's and women's tennis head coach.
"As a former player and as assistant coach for the past two years, Brad has first-hand knowledge our tennis program," stated Visker. "He brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm as a first-time head coach. I'm confident that he will build on the foundation set by John Natali and Joel Dendiu to move our tennis program forward."
Foster has been an assistant coach for the Pilots for the previous two seasons and helped the men to a 14-24 record and the women to a 25-16 record. Accolades with Foster on staff include six NCCAA All-Americans, eight NCCAA North Central All-Region, nine NCCAA National Student-Athletes of the Week, nine Crossroads League Athletes of the Week, eight NAIA Scholar Athletes, and 12 NCCAA Scholar Athletes.
"John [Natali] had a long tenure with the team and we couldn't be more thankful. Joel [Dendiu] brought a new life into the team for the last four years. It is sad to see them both go, but I am very excited to bring about a new era for our team," described Foster.
"This place and this program mean a lot to me and I am blessed to have the opportunity to make a difference for this school and more importantly, for the athletes. I know I am young, but I think that is something that will be an asset to the way I coach and will help me connect in a different way to the athletes and I will bring a new energy and a new culture to the team."
Foster, a 2018 graduate of Bethel, played for the men's tennis team from 2013-17 and was named the team's Most Improved Player after his junior season. He was named a Crossroads League Player of the Week and NCCAA National Student-Athlete of the Week on March 28, 2016. As a senior, Foster earned the team's Pilot Spirit Award.
Foster inherits a program that went 6-12 on the men's side and 14-6 on the women's side this past season.

A lot of kids enjoy a place they find entertaining and enjoyable for their eyes. It is applicable whether they are looking at foods, toys, books, and even places too!
Before, most parents were the ones choosing the designs of their children's rooms. They usually stick to white and pastel colours, which they thought were the best colours for their children's rooms. Dull colours will make them feel bored, making them feel uncomfortable or less happy with their own little territory.
Most kids like different colours, most especially the bright and loud ones which greatly show their personality. Bright and loud ones like red, blue, green, and orange are very popular colour choices for kids.
When choosing a design for your kids' room, incorporate them during the decision making. Make them participate especially in choosing the colour of their walls, the kind of furniture in their room, as well as the curtains and their own bed sheet. If your kid likes the final appearance of his or her room, they can sleep better and perform better in school! They will start staying in their own little space. This is the right opportunity for them to spend more time working on their school work. Crisp and colourful kids room designs will help your kids grow happier, making your bonds stronger.


Decorating your Christmas tree (and your entire home) is always the best part for me. Especially when you get to do it with some of your favorite people. Although there were plenty of times when "fights" needed to be broken up, arguments had to be settled with calming words and the lights had to be redone because there were holes missing, it was still the perfect way to start the month of December.
For our tree this year, we wanted to keep it as simple as possible, especially because we were fitting four different ideas into one. We stuck with the simple red and green ball ornaments and candy canes for a traditional look. We even did a net of lights instead of several strings.
Usually when I decorated the tree with my family or the past two years, the ornaments I used were ones I had gathered throughout the years. Or rather the ones my parents gathered. We had a tradition that every year, we buy one new ornament to put on the tree so the past two years I've bought ornaments that represent what the year has been (maybe I'll put that as a separate post). I haven't gotten around to doing that this year but hopefully before it gets too far into the month.
How did you decorate your tree this year?
Trying to convince her that she really does love me....Or trying to get her to take me to Rhode Island with her for the holidays.

Sheridan Smith reveals her anxiety battle left her 'screaming on the inside'
Sheridan Smith reveals anxiety battle left her 'screaming on the inside' and spiralled after her father's death
By Lily Waddell For Mailonline
Sheridan Smith revealed her anxiety battle left her 'screaming on the inside' and nearly destroyed her BAFTA-winning acting career.
The actress, 37, admitted she 'couldn't cope' when her late dad Colin was diagnosed with cancer while she was juggling playing the lead role in the musical Funny Girl.
Speaking to The Telegraph's Stella magazine, the West End star explained she was under a lot of pressure when people expected to hear how happy she was because her acting career was flourishing but in reality she felt 'lonely and scared'.
'I felt scared': Sheridan Smith revealed her anxiety battle left her 'screaming on the inside' as she admitted she struggled to cope with her dad's death (pictured in June 2019, London)
Sheridan told the publication: 'All people wanted to hear was how happy I was that I was doing so well, but inside I was just screaming. I thought everyone could see I wasn't right.'
During the 2016 run of Funny Girl, she missed curtain calls and the show's promoters blamed her behaviour on 'technical difficulties'.
Speculation was rife that the award-winning actress was drunk on stage which she has always vehemently denied.

Her anxiety spiraled out of control when her beloved father Colin passed away aged 80 at the end of 2016.
The musical theatre star explained it 'killed' her that she couldn't talk to anyone about how she really felt.
'I felt so lonely and scared a lot of the time and it killed me. I felt I couldn't actually say that to anyone because no one wanted to hear it.'
Devastating: Her anxiety spiraled out of control when her beloved father Colin passed away aged 80 at the end of 2016 (pictured in April 2018, London)
She explained: 'All I knew was that the man I loved most in the world was in a hospital bed and I just wanted to be with him.'
Fast forward two years, Sheridan has thrown herself into rehearsing for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat musical.
The show will open on June 27 at the London Palladium.

The following are a collection of wedding ceremony readings, poems and prayers that can be brought into your wedding ceremony to inspire and uplift your guests. I have assembled a list of the most popular non-religious wedding ceremony readings as well as time-tested wedding ceremony bible readings that our wedding couples have found useful. You can also add Prayers to your wedding ceremony if you wanted to bring in a religious or spiritual dimension.
All of these choices are one way of adding a certain flavor to your ceremony to help shape it into the wedding of your dreams. For example, if you wanted to bring in a little religious flavor, you could choose a Bible reading. Or maybe you love poetry and want to express your feelings about your marriage through a beautiful poem. Or perhaps a certain reading distills the perfect essence of marriage and you would like to share it to inspire your loved ones.
Please note that one way of honoring a loved one or a friend is to invite them to participate in the ceremony by sharing a reading, poem or prayer. This adds drama, warmth, connection and joy to your ceremony. You could also share the reading, poem or prayer yourself, either to your partner, or together. Of course, you can always have one of our wedding officiants enthusiastically present your favorite passage as you take in its rich joy and meaning on your miraculous wedding day.
Let us walk together yet not as one, but such that our shadows are separate and distinct, such that our souls are unbound and free. Let us share our time, yet do not give all your time, nor take all of mine for in order to develop to the fullest, to be free, we must have solitude and individuality.
For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation. Loving does not at first mean merging, surrendering, and uniting with another person - it is a high inducement for the individual to ripen, to become something in himself, to become world, to become world in himself for the sake of another person; it is a great, demanding claim on him, something that chose him and calls him to vast distances.
A wedding is between two reflections of God. Two pairs of eyes see one vision. They are dedicated to serve one another and the humanity at large. Two minds come together to help each other realize their true nature. Going side by side with the right partner is a good way to reach God quickly. When the husband's and the wife's love for each other blends together and becomes love of God, marriage is a divine institution.
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Sing and Dance together and be joyous, but each one of you be alone.
When you were children, you talked like children, But now that you've grown, you should be done with childish things and put them away. When you were children, you looked into a mirror that gave only a blurred reflection of reality. But with love and maturity, you shouldn't be afraid to look into that mirror and see each other face to face. Be swift like the wind in loving each other. Be brave like the sea in loving each other. Be gentle like the breeze in loving each other. Be patient like the sun who waits and watches the four changes of the earth in loving each other. Be wise like the roaring of the thunder clouds and lightning in loving each other. Be shining like the morning dawn in loving each other. Be proud like the tree who stands without bending in loving each other. Be brilliant like the rainbow colors in loving each other. Now, forever, forever, there will be no more loneliness because your worlds are joined together with the world. Forever, forever.
"When you love someone you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. The only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity, in freedom, in the sense that dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.
The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. One must accept the security of the winged life, of ebb and flow, of intermittency."
A soul mate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soul mate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soul mate is the one who makes life come to life.
...the one I love with every fiber of my soul.
Put the love, good looks and sweet temper into a well furnished house. Beat the butter of youth to a cream, and mix well together with the blindness of faults. Stir the pounded wit and good humour into the sweet argument, then add the rippling laughter and common sense. Work the whole together until everything is well mixed, and bake gently for ever.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor, and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
Be ambitious for the higher gifts. And I am going to show you a way that is better than any of them. If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. If I have the gift of prophesy, understanding all the mysteries there are, and knowing everything, and if I have faith in all its fullness, to move mountains, but without love, then I am nothing at all. If I give away all that I possess, peice by peice, and if I even let them take my body to burn it, but I am without love, it will do me no good whatever. Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous; love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offence, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.
The Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helpmate."
So from the soil the Lord God fashioned all the wild beast and all the birds of heaven. These he brought to the man to see what he would call them; each one was to bear the name the man would give it.
The man gave names to all the cattle, all the birds of heaven and all the wild beasts. But no helpmate suitable for the man was found for him.
So the Lord God made the man fall into deep sleep. And while he slept, he took one of his ribs and enclosed it in flesh.
The Lord God built the rib he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man.
The man exclaimed: "This at last is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh! This is to be called woman, for this was taken from man"
This is why a man leaves his father and mother and joins himself to his wife and they become one body.

I am sure that many people on this forum have expressed concerns regarding the overwhelming amount of debt that will follow most DPT programs, but I wanted to see what people thought about this issue. More specifically, does anyone else find the average compensation for PTs to be completely ridiculous? Three years of tuition, in my area, would cost approximately $80k. I have spoke with several of the business professors and accounting professors on my campus and everyone keeps telling me the same thing when I show them the numbers...things don't add up! I understand that if a person is passionate about their field of work, monetary return may not be a concern. I too am passionate about the field of Physical Therapy, but at the same time, I am not comfortable with digging myself into so much debt. I'm just trying to see how many people share my thoughts. Also, if not, can anyone provide with any information or insight that may help me overcome my fear of having to pay off debt for 20+ years? Thanks, I look forward to hearing everyone's opinion!
The compensation for a PT is not that of a pharmacist or an MD but with that said, the job satisfaction of a PT is often rated much higher. Now to say compensation is 'little' is incorrect, the average salary for a PT ranges in the 70-80s w/ experience depending on location. If you want to do home health or traveling PT you can make some good money. Will you get loaded being a PT? probably not, unless you become a manager or own your clinic. Can you make 70k+ in your mid 20's throughout the rest of your career? absolutely. Over time if your smart that adds up. You can also work part time teaching at Univeristy's PT dept. as well as community college courses.
As far as debt is concerned it is a lot to go to school, in my opinion too much but with the demand for PT's on the rise there is an increase in tuition repayment post graduation. Try to be smart and not add to greatly to your debt while in school with cost of living and things of that nature and you should be just fine.
You can make more by working a second part-time/per diem job. With this, it is possible to make 90-100K. You just have to sacrifice your first few years after PT school. So it is possible to pay off loans sooner, but it's your choice to hold off on a comfortable lifestyle for a couple of years.
I can see where "efm6116" is coming from. He is looking from a practical stand point and taking a look at the numbers. You guys can't knock on the kid for just trying to get some information. He does have a valid point that when you look at the return on investment, the numbers speak for themselves. Anywhere from 80-120gs in debt and a starting salary anywhere from 50-70gs. I gotta agree with "efm6116", the pay for PTs does not seem right based on the length, cost and work needed to attain the DPT degree.
What is everyone elses thoughts on this? Is anyone worried about the long term struggle to pay off the enormous debt after graduating and making a marginal salary in comparison to the debt?
Check out your state schools tuition and stay away from private if the debt load concerns you. Federal loan guidelines presently limit your repayments to a max of 15% of your income, after 2014 it is reduced to 10% and after 20 years it is forgiven. But if you bust your hump the first 5 years after graduation and work home health on weekends you should be able to pay off the debt pretty quickly. I know a PT with his own practice that recently was paying 120K/year to DPTs with 3 years experience to do nursing home, assisted living, and home health care.
I am trying to understand why working excess job and overtime hours is acceptable when you go to school for three years and work extremely hard. if your going to school to work that hard you should be able to graduate and have a job that can offer a steady inflow of money that will allow you to pay of student loans at a normal rate while also taking on car payments, mortgage, etc.....how is that possible in the field of PT when your only making 60gs on average and your 100gs in debt? remember if you make 60gs, your actual take home is around 40gs....how does someone use 40gs to live the daily functions and also pay off loans and pay bills, go grocery shopping, pay mortgage, car payment, etc...? at that rate, it would be a nominal amount of 5grand per year going to pay of student loan debt, and with interest rates, the total repayment could potentially be 200grand for a job that averages a gross income of 60grand....how are current PTs doing this?
It's what we love to do so we do it. Like in any job, you do what you have to do to make ends meet. Young MDs moonlight and have second jobs to help pay off med school (my dad did this and I know many other MDs that have done this too). So getting a second job is not unheard of.
Relatively, look at what we do in undergrad. Many spend tons of money to get a degree that means little. I had a degree in kinesiology and all I could really use it for was to get into PT school. Where's the immediate return? The result: I worked as a PT aide making 30K/year...I definitely paid more than that for my undergrad education.
It obviously doesn't seem fiscally responsible to go to 4-5 years of undergrad and then 3 more years of PT school to make only 60-70K. But like I said, if this is what you want to do, then find a way to make it economically feasible. PTs are at the whim of insurance reimbursements, so this limits our salary.
Personally, I am sad to see potentially great pre-PTs choose different career paths due to the salary/debt issue. I see where they are coming from and it makes sense financially. Unfortunately, we may be losing out on kids that may have otherwise made this profession great (maybe the next Mulligan, Maitland, McKenzie, Paris, etc). On the other hand, it weeds out those that are in it for the money (if that's even possible). In the end, is passion enough? Is it worth getting a second job to make ends meet? Is job satisfaction enough? It all depends on who you ask. But truthfully, the only person that can answer this is yourself.
I am trying to understand why working excess job and overtime hours is acceptable when you go to school for three years and work extremely hard.
It isn't. Therapists should not have to pick up a second job to make 90-100k. A legally booked therapist generates somewhere between 200-280k a year, not counting what PTAs and rehabilitation techs they supervise might also generate. Hospitals use rehabilitation departments to fund other, less profitable departments instead of properly compensating the therapists.
"...how is that possible in the field of PT when your only making 60gs on average and your 100gs in debt?"
My opinion: The short answer: the profession places ever increasing demands on its new members and then does not reward them for the effort.
My opinion: The long answer: Current "fair pay" standards are rooted in the days of certified PTs. These "proto-therapist" were high school graduates with (I believe) 6 weeks of class room training. They had approximately 1/35th the entry-level education of a BSPT (and 1/70th of current DPTs). Experience was very important to CPTs as they really were trained on the job. Then came the college educated therapists (BSPTs). With clinical experience already under their belts, the CPTs became defensive, insisting that their better educated and trained peers be no better compensated or privileged than they. Thus began the long, sordid tradition of therapists being their own worst enemy in terms of compensation. This scenario repeated itself when the last CPTs and a majority of BSPTs saw the emergence of MPTs. And again when the BSPTs and MPTs saw the first DPTs enter the work force.
Following the course of events, the lay person therapist with 6 weeks of post-high school education became equivalent to the doctor of physical therapy with 7-8 years of college education and a 1-2 years worth of clinical education concurrently performed. Consequently, compensation has been adjusted for inflation and little else. Which is why you see new DPTs offered 55-65k at first hire -- excellent compensation for someone with a high school education, good compensation for someone with an undergraduate education, fair-to-poor compensation for someone with a master's degree and an abysmal compensation for one with a first professional degree.
Good points. kudos . However, do you think this is true in all PT or just in the hospitals?
200-280k a year is even a little low if you are really busy. 5-6k a week is a normal week with new patients and we see 20% of that. I think it would be better to get paid based on productivity, but then you get into the debate about ethical billing. It's definately an uphill battle for us!
Great feedback everyone! thanks for all the comments...regarding the post above, is it true that PTs who hold the minimum education levels will eventually need to transition into a DPT program to maintain their license? I know experience accounts for a lot, but if the profession is going to try and gain the accreditation it deserves, wouldn't this be a requirement?
My problem is that the DPT has no more authority to order test/imaging than a MPT. So if they both can practice and bill the same, why would the MPT spend 15k to get a t-DPT.
If it doesn't add up for you personally, don't do it. You know how you want to live and compromising your wants will lead to regrets. If you need to make more than 100k annually for the rest of your life PT is not for you. If you are content with the smaller things in life and want to live comfortably, yet still have time for your family and be a part of a great career, then PT may be just your ticket. But in all seriousness this has been beat to death way too many times to count, so if you can't accept that you will probably not get paid what you are worth and that money is your number one concern, it may never add up.
p.s. search function is your friend.
I think people almost always get paid what they are worth.
Now that the shouting and throwing things at the computer is finished, I will elaborate.
If a PT wants to make a ton of money, they shouldn't work for someone. They should work only for the patient. That means they aren't employed by a hospital (I am). they are responsible for all facets of their career. They beat the bushes for patients, they assess them properly, treat them well, charge a fair price, get paid for those services, and comply with all manner of regulations. Those patients talk to other people, talk to their doctors, and more patients come.
That same PT who doesn't do any one of those things will ultimately fail. Those professionals who take risk have the greatest potential to make a bunch of money.
Example: my uncle worked as a plumber for years. he got to the point where he was bidding the jobs, ordering the stuff, scheduling the crew, supervising the crew and yet he was still just a plumber. When he took a risk and started his own plumbing business he was not able to crack his local market right away. So, in the late 70's he packed up his wrenches and whatnot and went to Texas. He was away from his family for months at a time. He worked his tail off, maybe 80-100 hours per week because it was HIS. If he didn't do it, it didn't get done. He worked just like before but if what he did didn't work, it was HIS fault. He took a risk and because he was willing to bust his ***** he made it work. He moved back home and blew the joint away. He retired a multimillionaire at 55. Now he plays golf every day.
The point is, if you are willing to do the hard work ( I am not talking about just studying hard and getting into the school of your choosing) then you are much more likely to make the kind of money you deserve.
Me, I was all gung ho about starting my own clinic and running the show but I realized that I am not the type of detail person that can deal with all of the administrative crap that business owners have to deal with. I personally like that I have an administrator who knows and keeps up with legal changes, regulatory changes, HR changes and other things that really don't always abide by common sense and logic. If it were that easy, I would have had my own shop. I am glad that I have a billing office that deal with the insurance companies and spend hours on hold to claim the money that I bill. The peace of mind that I have by not having to deal with the "other" stuff makes it well worthwhile for me not to have my own clinic. Would I like to make more money? Sure. Is it worth the sacrifice and stress? To me, the answer is no. Do I begrudge the people that do, Hell no.
So, if you think you are going into a job you love and work 36-40 hours per week for someone else, letting them take all of the risk and become wealthy, you are misguided. If you want to make more money and count pills all day, be my guest. But don't have any illusions that you aren't getting paid what you are worth.
If you treat 14 patients per day and you bill them $150 per session, you will be paid $2100 per day. If you collect all of it you can make a boatload of money ($525k assuming 50 weeks of 5 working days and giving you 2 weeks off excluding holidays just to make the math easier) That's a lot of money. Remember, someone has to collect all of that money. So, if you are treating patients all day, the billing has to be done sometime. Insurance companies aren't open at 7pm so you have to do your calling during the day. This means that you are treating your 14 patients sometimes in the evenings (OK, most evenings) and for $150 per visit you damn well better be getting excellent results or you will be finding yourself with a lot of time on your hands.
I am getting long winded. I think I have made my point of view clear. Get over yourselves.
The new age DPTs are going to have exert their influence in the political frontier more than in the past if they want anything to change. Probably the unfavorable debt to income ratio will induce more PT activists to get involved. I despise politics, but I do see the apparent need to get involved. Hopefully this mindset becomes more mainstream then in the past.
"However, do you think this is true in all PT or just in the hospitals?"
It is a standard prevalent throughout the profession. Large hospitals and rehabilitation companies would likely be the most adherent to said standard. Working in private practice would offer the most latitude to move outside them. And owning your own practice would see you free of them.
"...is it true that PTs who hold the minimum education levels will eventually need to transition into a DPT program to maintain their license? I know experience accounts for a lot, but if the profession is going to try and gain the accreditation it deserves, wouldn't this be a requirement?"
Personally, I'm very much against the current t-DPT model. I applaud the willingness of BS and MS therapists further their knowledge, but from what I've seen and heard the standards school to school are not concrete, and the t-DPT students do not put in the same time or effort as e-DTP students (even in light for their prior education). This causes several issues. First, the t-DPT (primarily BSPTs but to a lesser extent MSPTs) do not graduate with the engrained skill and mindset of a e-DPT, defeating the autonomous practitioner intent of the vision 2020. Secondly, it creates a false impression of the DPT within the profession and with other professionals.
"The point is, if you are willing to do the hard work (I am not talking about just studying hard and getting into the school of your choosing) then you are much more likely to make the kind of money you deserve."
"But don't have any illusions that you aren't getting paid what you are worth."
I give you my current work environment. Four therapists all working at the same hospital outpatient clinic. All treat the same number of patients a day, all basically having the same productivity and, as it is a fee-for-service profession, produce the same revenue for the hospital. Therapist A is a staff therapist with one year experience earning $33/hr (~$69,000/yr) plus benefits (say a value of an additional $10,000). Therapist B is a staff therapist with 10 years experience earning $40/hr ($83,200/yr) plus benefits. Therapist C has 8 years experience, works full time PRN and the hospital pays her $65/hr ($135,200/yr) but with no benefits. Lastly, Therapist D has 4 years experience, works locum and his agency bills the hospital $75-80/hr (or $156,000-$166,400/yr), and from that amount pays him and provides benefits.
In all of these cases the hospital continues to make a profit or they wouldn't have signed a contract with the therapists or their company, but we see the hospital willing to pay double for Therapist D than Therapist A. Therefore, one cannot say Therapists A or B are getting paid what they are worth.
"My problem is that the DPT has no more authority to order test/imaging than a MPT."
Scope of practice is determined state by state. In some direct access states the privileges of direct access are limited to DPTs. But by in large you are correct.


Although electric motorcycles and scooter insurance is a relatively new, small but growing market we are glad to say that to insure any of our electric motorcycles will not cost any more than an equivalently priced and powered combustion models.
We've scouted high and low to find the best possible insurance for electric motorcycles and electric scooters and turns out the best guys in the electric insurance industry happened to be based just down the road from us!
Lexham Insruance have been in the game for 20 years and are unique in that they have a UK call centre rather than based abroad and offer the most competitve rates by contacting direct rather than price comparisons sites.


Manchester United are becoming increasingly concerned they will lose prospect Angel Gomes to another top European club.
The Sun report that the 17-year-old is stalling on signing his first professional contract and could walk away for nothing more than a nominal fee next summer if he doesn't put pen to paper.
The forward is widely regarded as one of the most exciting youngsters at Old Trafford and was handed his first-team debut by Jose Mourinho in May when he came on as a late substitute for Wayne Rooney against Crystal Palace.
On that occasion, he became the youngest United player to feature since Duncan Edwards.
The club's hierarchy have been taught a harsh lesson by having to fork out a then-world record £89million for Paul Pogba after letting him go to Juventus as a teenager for £800,000.
It's claimed Gomes' fee would be closer to £4million if set by a tribunal, but United could still be left to rue losing him.
Barcelona make it their policy to sign young players they can develop, even if they have strayed from that somewhat this summer with the addition of Paulinho and their interest in Philippe Coutinho.

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut
In Movies by Scott June 30, 2011 0 Comments
(This review originally appeared on my short-lived blog Netflix Fiend a couple years ago. With the recent release of all the Superman movies in a fancy Blu-ray box set, I thought I'd run it here now).
I'm a huge fan of Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie — I love the mythic feel it has, and along with The Incredible Hulk TV series, in 1978 it was pretty much the only time I'd seen a comic book adaptation treated with respect. I do think it went off the rails a little with the Batman-TV-show-esque interplay between Lex Luthor, Otis and Miss Teschmacher, and that "Otis Theme" makes me wanna kick the coffee table over, although everything else about John Williams' score is incredibly good (I dare you to tell me you don't get goosebumps during the opening credits sequence as that big S roars past and the music swells).
I've never been much of a fan of Richard Lester's Superman II, however. Even as a doofy 16-year-old, I thought Lester was an odd choice for such a movie, and the flick itself looked cheap and kind of half-assed, particularly in comparison to the first film. I know a lot of people really dug it, largely because of the battle between Superman, General Zod, Non and Ursa in the streets and skies of Metropolis, but I thought the whole sequence seemed a little fruity, what with the slow-moving pointy-toed kicks and whatnot. Overall, I felt like the progress towards respect to the material that had been made with the first film had largely been lost, in favor of goofy jokes and silly situations.
Most people are probably aware that Richard Donner was shooting Superman and Superman II back-to-back, and wound up getting fired from the project before the second film was completed, which led to Lester taking over. While he's credited for helping create the music video thanks to helming A Hard Day's Night and Help!, Lester was never a wildly visual director — that said, however, the slapstick set pieces in Lester's A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum and the fight scenes in The Three Musketeers/The Four Musketeers are rousing sequences that stand up as some of the best put on film, but it almost seems that Lester's style was overburdened by the subject matter of Superman II and as a result, sequences that needed some serious visual flair tended to look as if Lester aimed a camera at them and said "go." It didn't help that for a movie released the same year as The Empire Strikes Back, Superman II looked as if it had been made ten years prior.
Recently, thanks to interest from fans of the Superman series, Warner Brothers allowed Richard Donner to revisit his "lost film" and create Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut. Of course, Donner had to use portions of Lester's version to put together a complete movie, but the results are really kind of astonishing. Donner and editor Michael Thau recut the Lester scenes, tightening them and removing many of the cornier elements, re-inserted the Marlon Brando sequences that were dropped from the original version of Superman II when the producers didn't want to pay Brando's exorbitant fee (his scenes were replaced with less-than-thrilling footage of Susannah York as Lara-El), and added scenes that Donner had shot before being fired.
One of the things I never liked about Lester's version was the way Lois Lane finally outs Clark Kent as Superman — his glasses fall into the fireplace and he snatches them out without getting burned. The new scene (using the term "new" loosely, I suppose) is still not entirely satisfying but pays off with a little more impact. Donner was never able to shoot the sequence during production, however, so screen test footage was used, and it's interesting to see how much Christopher Reeve inhabited both roles — Clark Kent and Superman — even then.
Donner's cut of the movie significantly improves the overall tone of the flick, bringing it much closer in spirit to the first Superman — which is unfortunate only during some of the scenes involving Lex Luthor, which are still too campy for my taste. The fight between Superman and the Phantom Zone criminals plays much better here, too — the awkward moments are mostly gone, some new stuff has been added, and it feels like much more is at stake than it did originally. The movie is still lacking that great quality of American Mythology that Donner brought to Superman: The Movie, though, and while I'd absolutely say the Donner cut is a far more satisfying movie than the Lester version, more than anything it makes me wish Donner had been able to shoot the movie he envisioned from the start. Definitely worth seeing (and be sure to watch the featurette about putting the new cut together), and while I was never inclined to own Superman II on DVD, I'll be buying this version.

Financial wellness programs must go beyond education: survey
Staff | April 22, 2019
While educational content is a key component of financial wellness programs, they must also be measurable and embrace technology to help defined contribution plan members move easily from ambition to action, according a new report by the SPARK Institute and Cerulli Associates.
The report, which combined feedback from 26 U.S. record keepers representing $5.9 trillion in DC plan assets, found the majority (71 per cent ) of respondents measure the effectiveness of their financial wellness programs by the level of participation in education sessions. An additional 67 per cent said they use website activity, such as click rates and website interactions as a measure of effectiveness.

"There are a variety of ways to track the progress of a financial wellness initiative," said Dan Cook, a research analyst at Cerulli Associates, in a press release. "For record keepers, it's important to focus on key metrics that are most relevant to each plan sponsor's top priorities."
While the report noted the term 'financial wellness' can be ambiguous, at its most fundamental level it emphasizes holistic advice and goes beyond a participant's workplace retirement savings plan to include budgeting, emergency savings accounts, cash flow management and debt optimization.
"There is increased awareness among retirement industry stakeholders that plan participants don't save for retirement in a vacuum," said Cook. "The average participant has several competing financial priorities, which can be challenging to manage without access to personalized financial advice."
DC plan members with less than $100,000 up to $500,000 in investable assets are less likely than their more affluent peers to select 'financial advisor' as their primary source of retirement advice, the survey found. "As such, DC record keepers play a key role in providing guidance to this group of underserved individuals," said Cook. "Oftentimes, a financial wellness program is the most effective framework through which to deliver this guidance."

In order to compensate Lee Feldman for the higher exercise price, the Company has agreed to pay him a cash bonus of £1,979,567 (being £4.67 less £4.22 multiplied by 4,399,037 (the original number of shares under option)).

Remuneration Additional Information
After consulting with GVC's Chairman and Remuneration Committee Chair, GVC's Chief Executive Officer has volunteered to reduce his annual salary from £950,000 to £800,000.? This offer was made in light of recent shareholder and proxy adviser feedback on GVC's 2018 remuneration report and on our Remuneration Committee Chair. This change will take effect from 1 June 2019.
Paul Bowtell
Paul Bowtell will retire as a Director of GVC Holdings Plc on 5 March 2019 and will remain an employee until 5 March 2019, during which time he will work on a variety of integration projects and undertake an orderly handover and?transition of responsibilities.
The Remuneration Committee has determined that the following arrangements were fair and reasonable, consistent with the Directors' Remuneration Policy and in line with?Paul's contractual entitlements.

Follow-up Response to vote on 2018 AGM Resolution 2 Vote
In response to the voting outcome on Resolution 2 at the GVC Holdings plc Annual General Meeting on 6 June 2018, this follow-up provides an update to the statement we made after the vote.
The Board was naturally disappointed with the overall voting outcome of 56.06% in favour of the 2017 Annual Remuneration Report.? As set out in our initial statement, the Remuneration Committee had sought to balance the views heard from shareholders with the need to appropriately reward and retain a successful management team.
Since the vote, the Company Chairman, Lee Feldman, and the Senior Independent Director, Stephen Morana, have conducted a corporate governance roadshow with a number of our largest institutional shareholders, at which we had a frank and open discussion on remuneration at GVC.? These discussions highlighted that shareholders' primary concern centred on legacy arrangements for the CEO and Chairman.? These arrangements are now fully vested and do not form part of our ongoing Remuneration Policy, which is aligned with UK best practice expectations, and received support from over 90% of our shareholders in 2017.
We would like to thank shareholders for taking the time to engage with us and we have noted the feedback received.? The Committee has seen and extensively discussed the feedback received in relation to remuneration and remains committed to active shareholder engagement going forward, which will be used to inform future decision-making.
Further details will be provided our Annual Report 2018, with the 2018 Remuneration Report being put to an advisory shareholder vote at the 2019 AGM in the usual manner.?
Correction to 2018 Annual Report
There was an error in the related party note in the GVC 2018 accounts on page 153 in respect of the payments made to Lee Feldman. Up until the end of 2017 GVC paid Twin Lakes Capital, a company affiliated with Lee Feldman, a fee for office use of £50,000 a year under legacy arrangements. At the end of 2017, with the adoption of the current remuneration policy, the office services charge was terminated and the Chairman's remuneration arrangements were simplified and he moved to an annual fee of? £350,000. In 2018, this annual Chairman's fee was paid to Twin Lakes Capital and during the preparation of the 2018 accounts this annual Chairman's fee was incorrectly allocated in the related party note as "office services".? The correct disclosure in the related party note should have stated "nil" for 2018 in relation to office services.

Gli Elbow sono un gruppo musicale inglese di Manchester, nato nel 1997.

Il nome del gruppo deriva dalla parola che in lingua inglese significa "gomito" ed è stato scelto perché Michael Gambon in un episodio della serie televisiva The Singing Detective (trasmessa su BBC One nel 1986) afferma che elbow è "la più bella parola della lingua inglese" (the loveliest word in the English language).

The days and weeks leading up to Valentine's Day are so exhilarating, aren't they? You scuttle around buying boxes of chocolates, oversized teddy bears, and bundles of flowers to show your loved ones how very much they are indeed loved. There's just nothing that could spoil such a dreamy time of year for anyone.
Except maybe, if you're like me, and this time of year is also the time someone you love died. Or for that matter, if this time of year just reminds you how much you miss someone who has died, no matter when that death happened.
My mom died on February 13th, 2007. Valentine's Day Eve. I was never the type to expect a dozen red roses anyway, but since Mom died there has been a dark grey cloud over this cotton-candy pink holiday. In recent years, I've just let Valentine's Day slip by me like any other day. My husband knows that a card is more than enough now, and that pretty much covers our celebration of the day. He is keenly aware that any sense of romance I might be feeling is far outweighed by the lingering memory of Moms' death.
I was planning (or rather not planning) for Valentine's Day to come and go as usual this year. And then, as it often does, my mom's memory came knocking softly at my heart. Mom loved holidays, loved the idea of spreading cheer and love and chocolate any time it was remotely reasonable to do so. Much as I wanted to pretend that Valentine's Day was just another day, and that the majority of the country was just drunk on the fumes of freshly printed Hallmark cards, I felt something different this year. I felt challenged to reclaim this day.
I decided that I wanted to do something that was fun, fairly easy, and likely to bring joy to others. I also decided that I wanted it to be something that still felt somewhat "normal" for me, since the idea of celebrating Valentine's Day at all was already a pretty big deviation from my routine. It's all about baby steps with me and my grief.
I remembered sitting at the kitchen table as a kid, carefully folding and tearing the strips of Valentine's Day cards Mom let me pick out from the store. She would always ask me who I wanted to give one to, even though she knew we bought enough for everyone in my class. Looking back, I realize this was her undercover Mom way of finding out who my BFF of the week was, and which boy I had a crush on. Smooth, Mom, very smooth.
I don't have a roomful of classmates anymore, but I do love the idea of everyone getting a card, no matter how cool or fun or popular they might feel. I love the idea of people having a random moment in their day when they feel valued, cared for, and loved. I thought of things I loved about Mom, things I had told her, and some I had not. I thought of how happy it would make anyone to hear things that someone loved about them. And just like that, I had my plan.
I bought a box of children's Valentine's Day cards that came with tiny little envelopes. I chose ones with little bears wearing funny outfits, because Mom would have loved the silliness of them. I sat at my desk and carefully tore the strips of cards apart. I could almost feel Mom at my shoulder.
I wrote tiny messages to my mom on the cards. They weren't anything spectacular, just simple little messages of love: Your smile makes my heart sing. I love the way your hair catches the sun. Thank you for being an example of kindness. You are loved. I sealed them into the envelopes, and wrote the same thing on the outside of each: If you found this, it is for you.
I stuffed the cards into my bag, and left the house. With no particular plan, I took a little tour of my city, leaving cards along the way. I tucked a card under the windshield wiper of a beat up car. I slipped one into a sneaker on display in a store. I left one on the counter at a coffee shop, and one stuck between two sodas in a drink cooler. With each one, I thought of Mom, of the many things I loved and missed about her. I thought of the joy she would have felt in knowing that my love for her was bringing a little happiness into the lives of others. I thought of the strength I felt in making a choice to lean into, rather than away from, my feelings of grief that surround this holiday.
My grief was telling me to ignore Valentine's Day. My mom's memory was telling me to find a way to celebrate that felt real and right in my heart. I won't pretend that hiding children's cards in random spots for strangers to find is going to be the right way for you to celebrate your loved one's memory. I will say that you sometimes need to try something different when the thing you've been doing is just not bringing you any sense of happiness or peace.
I couldn't have guessed that a two dollar box of cartoon bear cards could help me to feel that Valentine's Day might be worth celebrating after all. I sent my love for Mom out into the universe, and that simple act helped me to feel filled with love myself. It's an amazing thing to start with grief and sadness and finish with love and peace. Who knows, I may even ask my husband for a box of chocolates this year.
What ways will you celebrate your loved one this Valentine's Day?
I love it…Thanks for sharing the idea 🙂 Lost my sweet dad 4 months to the day,and he never forgot me on Valentines Day…My heart aches today, as it does most now.
Alisha, I love this idea. What a great way to honor your mom and find ways of bringing joy back into your life in a unique way.
This was my first holiday without my husband who died suddenly the morning of New Year's eve. I stopped in a jewelry store and picked out a nice pair of earrings and matching necklace and treated myself because I know he would have done this for me.
I love what you did with the valentines. It really brings a lump to my throat.
That is beautiful. I am sure your mother is proud of you. My brother passed away right before Christmas 2012. I found out that the last kind thing he did the morning of his passing was make a donation to the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. A little kindness goes a long way and paying it forward are words to live by.
This is the loveliest idea. Thank you Alisha for this wonderful idea to take care of yourself and of those around you, whether you know them or not. I think it could work for almost any day when any of us need a way to move beyond our own very small world.

House of Cardin: A guide to knowing all things Pierre Cardin
Emma Ruben July 29, 2020 Art and Film
"Designers have that power to globally inspire millions of people" – Jenny Shimizu
"What is the secret to youth?" The interviewer behind the camera asks 98-year-old Pierre Cardin. His slightly unkempt white hair reminds me of my grandfather. Mr Cardin gives the camera an impish smile. "What's the secret to youth? Work." He answers. And the cheeky grin he gives the camera depicts his youthfulness, living on.
If there's one thing P. David Ebersole and Todd Hughes' documentary House of Cardin will give you, it's an insight to Cardin's life and persona. A compilation of old videos from earlier moments in Cardin's life and new interviews from Cardin and some others, this documentary is a fashion lover's must-watch. By the end of the documentary you'll know exactly who Cardin is and isn't. The transformation from youth to adult to senior will remind audiences: some of us really can stay forever young.
Cardin was in his late teens when he decided that fashion was the world that he wanted to orbit, and he's been orbiting around it ever since. As the fashion industry began to develop into the way it is now, Cardin was at the centre of it, beginning most trends or movements himself—fashion's first socialist. He made the untouchable aspects of fashion accessible. He was one of the first couturiers (a designer that creates couture designs) to make a collection for men, and his men's collection was eventually worn by The Beatles. He was also one of the first to design a ready-to-wear line, a decision that was met with intense criticism at first. In the 21st century however, it's a decision that most fashion houses make themselves. Cardin's smart fashion moves translated into smart business moves for the fashion house. While other well-known luxury brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Fendi and Marc Jacobs are owned by large corporations, Pierre Cardin still belongs to Cardin himself.
The documentary details all aspects of Cardin's life: his move from Italy to France after the First World War, his time working for Christian Dior, the eventual establishment of his own fashion house and the empire that came along with it. The main thing you learn is that Cardin is subversive. He challenges every aspect of the world around him. In his fashion, he ignores the female form. In his furniture design, he sought to conceptualise the future. When other fashion houses were only using white models, he wanted African American and Asian models and travelled to countries like China and Japan to seek them out (of course no one can forget his iconic runway show on the Great Wall of China). His fearlessness to defy all boundaries pays off. To this day he receives the praise of individuals such as Kenzo Takada, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dionne Warwick and Naomi Campbell, all of whom appear on film to sing his praise.
Ebersole and Hughes' use of interviews projects the documentary into a world of narrative story-telling through which audiences are able to learn about Cardin's work from an alternate point of view. Even more so, audiences get to learn about Pierre Cardin the man and not just Pierre Cardin the fashion designer. Fellow fashion designer Gaultier fondly remembers when Cardin took him in as a young prodigy at the age of 17. Singer Dionne Warwick, who performed at Cardin's theatre L'espace Cardin, noted that he was at every performance she ever did there. Even rock singer Alice Cooper was surprised but overjoyed that Cardin invited him and his band to play at his theatre (considering how non-upper class their music genre was for the time).
What this documentary portrays is that at his very heart, Cardin is a futuristic artist of many different mediums. He creates what he hopes to see for the future. In a time when fashion was seen as an untouchable art form, limited only to the privileged, it was Cardin who made it possible for fashion to touch the everyday individual. Even in the act of allowing a documentary to be made, Cardin ensures that his worldview and life are accessible to everyone.
House of Cardin is showing at Luna Palace Cinemas from the 30th of July to the 5th of August.
