Devi Mathieu was traveling in Minnesota on Sunday, the day Pope Benedict XVI proclaimed Hildegard of Bingen as a doctor of the church.
Had she been at home in Sebastopol, Calif., Mathieu would have mixed up a batch of cinnamon-nutmeg cookies based on one of Hildegard's own recipes. Then she would have organized a special gathering of friends to celebrate the music of her favorite saint, an earth mystic, Benedictine abbess, wisdom teacher, "Sybil of the Rhine," author, healer and spiritual conscience for the patriarchy of her time.
Mathieu sees the 12th-century nun's liturgical plainchant compositions as "a doorway into the source of all being. Anyone can go through that door to partake in the beauty," she explained last month at the Procter Center at The Episcopal Church in Southern Ohio in London, Ohio.
"Hildegard had this vision of a crown of pipes. She saw each of us as being one of those pipes. Through singing praises, we become sounding beacons, (leading) to the One. It is a journey through the ear to the heart," she said.
About 20 of us from many different faith traditions had gathered in the Procter chapel that day. We were preparing to sing along with Hildegard, led by Mathieu, a trained specialist in medieval music. Her own spiritual practice is Ruhaniat Sufism, a tradition that taps into the mystical paths from all the world religions. It teaches that music, dance and poetry are portals to the divine.
We were on an afternoon break from our official retreat, "The Genesis Meditations," a four-day dancing/chanting/meditation event facilitated by Sufi scholar Neil Douglas-Klotz. That morning, we had experienced three circle dances celebrating Holy Wisdom, whom the Hebrew proverbs tell us in Douglas-Klotz's Midrash version, "I was dancing in you from the first waters and I was baptizing everything." So in the same spirit, our teacher chose one of Hildegard's most famous Latin chants, "O Virtus Sapientiae," or "O Virtue of Wisdom."
Setting the scene for us, Mathieu gave us an image of Wisdom, a being of three wings. "One flies above in heaven. One draws sweat from the veriditas, the green power of nature. The third flies everywhere at once."
We plunged into the first phrases a capella, the way Hildegard taught her music in the monasteries at Rupertsberg and Eibingen. It did not take long for the energy of Holy Wisdom, who shines through all of creation, to be there in our midst. She danced alongside us in our singing circle. She soared outside the vast sanctuary window.
As we chanted, we delighted in the sight of a mother deer and her youngster drinking water from a pond. A large flock of ducks floated by, smoothly and seamlessly.
Mathieu soothed us up and down the ladder of notes, even those of us with musical ranges below middle C. Some of us did not manage to soar, but that was OK. We did the best we could, basking in the ethereal high notes piped effortlessly by some of our circle companions.
"Our bodies are our singing pipes," Mathieu said. "Rest in their sounds and put aside those notions of self-judgment, criticism, and performance mentality. Remember, from the ear to the heart."
From the ear to the heart is a phrase Devi Mathieu has borrowed from her late spiritual teacher and musical mentor, Barbara Thornton. Thornton was a singer and musicologist who, with Benjamin Bagby, founded and directed Sequentia, a medieval music ensemble. Thornton specialized in the music of Hildegard, bringing the saint from relative obscurity to fame in 1982, when Sequentia went on tour with a production of Hildegard's "Ordo Virtutum," an allegorical work that depicts the soul being challenged by both the virtues and the devil.
Mathieu met Thornton and Bagby in 1994 at a medieval music workshop at Santa Sabina Center in San Rafael Calif. She had sung all of her life, but lacked self-confidence.
"I was the little chorister at my Methodist church in Texas, very timid, and not confident singing in front of people," she said.
Mathieu left her church while in college because "somehow, I could never seem to be good enough."
She discovered Buddhism as a college student in San Francisco, and later combined it with Sufism. Her husband, Allaudin Mathieu, is a choir director and composer who started the Sufi Choir in 1969.
By 1994, Mathieu was searching for a spiritual teacher. But she never anticipated her guide would show up at Santa Sabina Center in San Rafael. But it was there she met Barbara Thornton, who became her mentor and spiritual teacher over the next four years.
Thornton introduced Mathieu to the beauty and depth of Hildegard's music as a spiritual practice for herself. Inspired, Mathieu went to another workshop a few months later in Vancouver. But she couldn't sing the first three days because she was in excruciating pain from a muscle spasm in her neck and back. Thornton found a physician who could help, and Devi was able to finish the two-week intensive.
When Thornton became ill with a brain tumor in 1998, Mathieu traveled to Cologne to see her in the hospital. Thornton was in a coma, but Mathieu was amazed because the two of them communicated telepathically. "As I sat there, I remembered how she would often close her eyes and rock from side to side as she listened to her students sing. I found myself rocking -- being rocked -- and suddenly realized I wasn't the only one awake in that hospital room. Barbara's physical body may have been sound asleep, but her essence was awake and present, remembering with me.
"We spent the next half-hour in a magical wordless communication filled with both joy and sadness. We cried about the inevitability of her leaving this life, and laughed at the silliness of Barbara envisioning herself, first as Janis Joplin singing 'Take a Little Piece of my Heart,' then as the Virgin of Guadalupe surrounded by golden haloes and masses of roses."
Mathieu said Thornton's final gift was "an infusion of courage, determination and self-acceptance. It is a message I know she would want me to share. It's this: 'Whatever vision you have, whatever your heart's desire, don't hold back. Don't want for permission. Don't wait for someone else to say yes. Go for it. Now. Assume acceptance, assume success. It's the only way to live, the only way to accomplish anything."
Mathieu now performs in Hildegard recitals and shares the saint's music with others.
Since last year, she has conducted monthly Hildegard singing sessions at the Santa Sabina Center. A couple of weekends ago, she led a weekend retreat there.
Dominican Sr. Margaret Diener, director of the center, is a regular member of the Tuesday evening gatherings.
"Along with the music, Devi is able to introduce much of Hildegard's perspectives and theology; through her comments, the deep ecology of Hildegard's understanding of creation and the divine presence with it shines through," Diener said. "The harmonics of the music truly do suggest the power of sound and song to rouse the spirit and to heal."
"As I listen and participate, I am reminded of 'The Music of the Spheres,' " she continued. "Didn't some of our predecessors have it right? The harmonics of the music truly do suggest the power of sound and song to rouse the spirit and to heal."

Motley Crue rocker Vince Neil is set to take to the stage as planned on Tuesday, just a day after undergoing surgery to remove kidney stones.
The star was admitted to hospital in Australia on Sunday night after cutting short the band's gig at Sydney's Allphones Arena due to his pain.
Nikki Sixx told fans on Monday that his bandmate had been operated on, and Neil took to Twitter after the procedure to thanks fans for their well wishes.
He also revealed he planned to be part of the band's show in Brisbane on Tuesday.
In a series of tweets, he writes, "Just out of surgery. Spent (the) night in hospital probably have to again tonight (Monday). Thank you all for the kind words and prayers.
"Huge thank you to all the paramedics at the All Phones Arena (sic), the ambulance paramedics, the nurses, doctors and Staff. Doc says I should have a full recovery and be back onstage for the Brisbane show tomorrow. Thanks to my bandmates and crew for your support!"


text: Thursday, May 10, 2012 APTA Sets the Record Straight: 'Physical Therapy' Is Not a Generic Term APTA responded to FoxNews.com regarding a May 2 article, "How can chiropractors benefit your health?" in which Keith Overland, president of the American Chiropractic Association, said that chiropractic treatment may include "combinations of chiropractic manipulation, physical therapy, and rehabilitative procedures for many musculoskeletal problems." APTA tells Fox News, "'Physical therapy' is not a generic term. It describes only those services provided by a licensed physical therapist. Chiropractors may provide some of the same treatment modalities as physical therapists, but they should portray their services as chiropractic and not as 'physical therapy.'" Comments hear, hear. I think chiropratics and physical therapy is a touchy subject. They are two separate entities with some similar approaches. I may use manipulations as a PT, but I would not say that my approach is a mix of exercise, advice, and chiropractics. Isn't Physical Therapy a protected term in the US, or is it only certain state? Posted by Brandon Goulding on 5/10/2012 6:47 PM The law - in California at least - states that Chiropractors can indeed advertise and bill for provision of "Physical Therapy" services. Physicians can also bill for "Physical Therapy". I've always wondered why that was so. Posted by Kevin on 5/10/2012 7:12 PM I'm a travel PT who has had licenses in 8 different states. "Physical Therapy" and PT are protected terms in all 8 of those states. If in a state where these terms are protected, I would hope Mr. Overland (who should be highly sensitive and knowledgeable of these issues) would receive a letter from his local PT Board. Posted by James Spencer on 5/11/2012 12:31 AM Kevin, same thing in Florida! I have been complaining about this to the APTA and the state chapters for as long as I have been a PT! It's time the APTA gets its act together on protecting the term "physical therapy"! Posted by Helen Present -> >HS`EO on 5/11/2012 1:50 AM Learning techniques on how to use modalities like electrical stimulation and hot packs from a physical therapist does not mean you know how to perform "Physical Therapy." There needs to be serious consequences for chiropractors/chiropratic businesses who advertise "Physical Therapy" without a Physical Therapist on staff. Posted by Anne on 5/11/2012 12:14 PM And did the response ever get aired or responded to by Fox in a public forum? If not, the record didn't really get set straight Posted by Dave on 5/11/2012 3:16 PM I would encourage everyone to do their part in protecting our profession and file a complaint with your state PT licensing board if you see someone who is NOT a PT advertising their services as "physical therapy." Many states have laws on the books protecting the term "physical therapy" and the licensing boards are the entities that have the legal authority to enforce the state licensure laws and impose fines. Posted by Terri on 5/11/2012 3:26 PM I'll add one more to the mix. Health clubs are telling their clients the "PT" will be with them shortly. Their "PT" is a personal trainer. When questioned about this practice, the back pedaling was obvious. Indeed, the use of "PT" in this scenario is not an accidental misrepresentation. Posted by Steve on 5/11/2012 3:32 PM I believe part of the problem lies in the fact that at many Chiropractic schools they call the classes that teach modalities "Physical Therapy". If these schools are in states with good term protection I wonder if the licensure boards could take action against them. If the schools no longer call modalities Physical Therapy I believe that would help curb the inappropriate use of the term in the long run. Posted by John Cormier on 5/11/2012 4:40 PM It is indeed up to individual state law to protect titles and acronyms in the United States. The APTA has done a lot to protect our profession, titles, and acronyms. So join the APTA if you're an American PT. You make enough money that you have no excuse not to pay the dues. Physicians' practice acts allow them to practice physical therapy in Texas, for instance. One reason is because they can hire a PTA to treat their patients and then bill full value for PT services. They can skip having a PT's clinical judgement altogether. For those of you aware of the issue surrounding physician-owned PT clinics and the other issue about the future role of PTA's, how do you like them apples? Posted by E. on 5/11/2012 5:08 PM In some states it prohibit physical therapist from performing manipulation. These states that prohibit PT in manipulation are due to combined lobbying effort of the American Chiropratic Association. Did the APTA fight this states or federal legislations? How come we PT's are losing ground on this issues. The chiro are now getting into PT business as part of their practice. They use the same billing codes as PT (97xxx codes). I encourage you PT's to support your PT political action committee PT-PAC and donate $$$ so we can win some legislation and to protect our profession in the future PTs'. Posted by Alex on 5/11/2012 5:34 PM My own personal experience is when I had a patient whom used almost 3/4 of her physical therapy benefits (i think around 2 or 3000)in a chiropractors office so I had to discharge her, still recovering from healing. Frustrating and if there is a way to change the rules that would be great. We don't bill manipulation under a chiropractic code. They should not be doing the same. I'm a member of the APTA and I hope they are doing more to support us in what we work so hard at on a daily basis to help our patients recover..... Posted by Cortney on 5/11/2012 9:47 PM In Tennessee this year we received an Attorney General opinion regarding Chiros ability to use the term physical therapy and directs enforcement. Log onto the state website for a quick read of some exciting news. Posted by Scott Newton on 5/12/2012 12:12 PM I find this most interesting. If you are not familiar with the HOD recent RC's 1-4 regarding changing the model of out patient PT you should read this. Basically APTA is proposing that PT can be provided by anyone! This is a huge can of worms they are about to open. It seems like APTA is talking out of both sides. Last time I checked PT is to be provided by licensed PTs or PTAs. No one should be making clinical judgments or decision making besides licensed therapists. I hope this does not pass. PTs have worked too hard to identify themselves and their practice capabilities just to give it away because the private practice section is feeling the crunch of the economy. Who isn't feeling the crunch these days? Posted by Nicole on 5/12/2012 5:24 PM RC3 would have physical therapy performed by whomever the therapist deems appropriate including AT's, EP's and others. How could we claim PT is not generic if this is indeed how we practice Posted by Marc Lacroix -> >FP on 5/12/2012 7:12 PM Earlier this year in the Detroit Free Press, a chiropractor who is also a state legislator stated that chiropractors do physical therapy. Many people complained but there was no visible response anything like the article (full page article with large color photo)in the Free Press. What about APTA taking out a large one page color add in the USA TODAY newspaper to present these issues and clarify our (APTA's)stance? Posted by sam gill on 5/12/2012 9:22 PM "While chiropractors often perform SMT on patients, it is also administered by physical therapists and osteopaths. But which treatment is right for any patient depends not only on their specific pain, but their doctor's recommendations and their own comfort level with various options, said Stephen Perle, a spokesman for the American Chiropractic Association." http://consumer.healthday.com/Article.asp?AID=654498 The Physical Therapist's public distinction in the application of manual therapy practice utilizing the interventions of manual therapy including soft tissue and joint mobilization/manipulation and manual traction is through the foundation of the PT profession's unique body of knowledge, competency and perspective on facilitating and managing movement, which results in actions and function to enhance and sustain human performance and quality of life through multiple body systems. In "PT joint mobilization and manipulation", the implementation of the procedure by its very nature, produces new clinical findings that must be evaluated simultaneously as the intervention is implemented. Examination, evaluation and intervention are inseparable and the manual therapy procedure of mobilization/manipulation is defines as "a manual therapy technique comprising a continuum of skilled passive movements to the joints and/or related soft tissues that are applied at varying speeds and amplitudes, including a small-amplitude/high- velocity therapeutic movement". (Guide to Physical Therapist Practice). Posted by Stephen McDavitt on 5/13/2012 10:19 AM PT/PTA's really need to be connecting and active with their local chapters in order to have their voices heard on these issues. There are 14 Chiropractic Institutions in the US. A good handful teach what they term "physical therapy or physiological therapeutics or physiotherapy". The PT Licensure Boards in these states should have the knowledge of who is using what term and which one is protected. If your state's PT practice act has not yet protected these terms you may want to address this with your chapter. These changes can occur at the state level and depend on what has already been enacted in the Chiropractic & Osteopathic practice acts. It is in the best interest for each practitioner to have separate billing codes, ie chiro MT, Osteopatic MT, PT manual therapy. I would just be sure that the 3rd party payors are not considering what the chiro and osteopaths are doing as physical therapy and thus tapping into the client's PT benefits. Again, that is where you and your chapters need to be clear on and knowing who is billing for what. Posted by Melissa on 5/13/2012 8:03 PM We are finding that our patients' annual insurance benefit for physical therapy is being exhausted (or nearly) by their previous chiropractic care. The chiropractors are using codes and billing "physical therapy". Anyone else run into this? Any suggestions? Posted by Karen Brown on 5/14/2012 4:30 PM This is to rebut Kevin's incorrect comments regarding chiropractor's use of "physical therapy" and "physiotherapy" in California. According to Tameka Island, Executive Associate, Professional Affairs, California Physical Therapy Association, in California, the terms "physical therapy" and "physiotherapy" are term-protected and only those holding an active license in physical therapy may use these terms. Any unlicensed individuals using these terms may be subject to civil charges per the PTBC. I hope this clarifies the situation in California. Art Posted by Art Ando DPT on 5/18/2012 4:10 PM http://www.eliteperformancedocs.com/default.html Here is an example of DC's blatantly advertising that they perform "physical therapy". They even state that the "physicians" perform "physical therapy". One guy has "some" training in rehabilitation and the other is an ATC. Neither are licensed PTs! How is this legal? Posted by Chris on 5/19/2012 11:23 AM @Chris - its not legal. The Oklahoma PT Act says: Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 887.16(A) "No person shall advertise, in any manner, or otherwise represent himself as a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant or as a provider of physical therapy services unless such person is licensed pursuant to the provisions of the Physical Therapy Practice Act." Posted by Mark M on 5/21/2012 11:28 AM I think that the comment posted by Nicole on 5/12 is worth everyone's time to re-read. The HOD of the APTA has several items that are certainly flying under the radar which impacts our profession. Our delegates are responsible for communicating this to us, as members of the APTA, but most people don't know anything about the proposed plans to allow a wide variety of 'other' professionals to treat patients under our license. As of right now there are no plans in place for knowing who is trained appropriately. The PTA's fall under the same branch of the APTA (CAPTE) for their educational oversight. Please encourage all to read the HOD documents on the APTA web site - look under communities, find packet one for some of the info, or contact your state's delegate. Posted by Lou Ann on 5/25/2012 12:47 AM I am so sick of everyone saying they do "physical therapy". Doctors, chiros, ATC's, even personal trainers!! I've been at PT for 20 years and private practice owner for 10 and contributor to the ptpac but honestly, nothing is being done. Everyone uses our name, opens pt clinics in their offices, and we sit idely by. This profession will at one point lose complete credibility and independence. Posted by Dahlia Fahmy on 6/21/2012 10:17 PM Yo E....On 5.11.12...PTA's cant work without the supervision of a PT even if they are under a physician...read the rules....we would lose our license..how bout them apples American PT? Posted by Dave on 8/8/2012 9:29 PM Nice to see other PT's care about this abusive, unprofessional and illegal conduct by many non PT's. It'd be nice to have some direction from the APTA. Perhaps they should have some type of task force developed to screen for this activity and report it immediately. Perhaps the APTA should begin to take legal action against this type of behavior. Posted by Burton Ford -> @JR_?L on 12/8/2012 12:01 PM Chiropractors are classified as "Physicians" by the Joint Commission (along with MD's, DO's, DPM's, OD's, and DPM's). https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:5BYzIejDgGQJ:www.jcrinc.com/common/PDFs/fpdfs/pubs/pdfs/JCReqs/JCP-06-09-S6.pdf+joint+commission+definition+physician&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESi_OJudOaQrK33VQUAvZrZHQSMV-iqfHWdjIrfpbHbLsV58bJoaJwNigddenRAYAWycIzMA-1srvriL5DgSFBgJ-yIk5WUGk81hu8r15SYFhj_eTD0cNefBMw1_VrpQdhbK3fku&sig=AHIEtbQ1SWQAR9bHjHlL9lxYjLEDoUfSMQ This is also true in the eyes of Medicare and Social Security. More importantly they are classified by state statues in 33 states as "Physicians" excluding the use of drugs and surgery in most of them with a few exceptions . http://www.acatoday.org/pdf/physicianstatus.pdf In most of these states Chiropractic Physicians can take X-rays, draw blood, order other imaging studies such as MRI's, CAT scans, etc. And YES in those states (most of the them) they can advertise that they perform "Physical Therapy". A profession like Medicine, Podiatry, and yes Chiropractic because of their scope of practice can perform "PT" LEGALLY. I am not interested in PT myself but I am getting SLAMMED with it in my program (Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine). I have to take the SAME classes the first two years as MD students and cram in all of the PT stuff...I hate it. I will be hiring a PT to do my physical therapy in the future. Physical therapists are classified by the gov't as technicians/midlevel providers even with the advent of the DPT. If you really want to change things you will have to change the definition of a PT to include being a physician, increase your education to mirror the basic sciences taught in Medical, Osteopathic, and Chiropractic schools and THEN LEGISLATE at the state level. Chiropractic has been very successful doing this and so has Optometry. That said, I hope I clarified this a little Posted by ChiropracticPhysician2015 on 1/19/2013 8:18 AM Chiropractic does not equal joint manipulation. There are several manipulative techniques with protocols in the chiropractic profession, however the profession itself is not limited to these techniques. Manipulative techniques are but a tool in the improvement and/or rehabilitation of the patient. Chiropractic doctors are physicians because it is within their scope of practice to reach a comprehensive analysis of the patient's overall health status and to make the appropriate decisions to help such patient in his/her recovery. This includes lifestyle habits, fitness and referral to other appropriate professionals when in the best interest of the patient. Therefore, chiropractic physicians have authority to order any diagnostic procedure (imaging, laboratory, orthopedics)in order to plan proper treatments. Chiropractic doctors excel in conservative management and treatment of patients. There are specialties within chiropractic medicine to manage advanced complicated cases weather physical or internal in nature without the use of drugs or surgery. However, DCs know when drugs and surgery are necessary and will refer to specialists in such fields. If a DC makes a referral for PT, he/she will know how to Rx for Tx and what to do if Tx does not work. PTs should market to DCs for referrals as many DCs now would like to concentrate on manipulation or prefer to use a nutrition management practice. Posted by Haish on 1/29/2013 4:38 PM In response to the comment from ChiropracticPhysician2015 on 1/19/13. I would start by saying that I cannot find anywhere that a Physical Therapist is classified as a mid-level provider (by the government). While this may be the view of some people, the use of mid-level practitioners are broadly used to describe individuals that practice under licensed physicians. As it relates to drug enforcement the term is described as follows: "Pursuant to Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1300.01(b28), the term mid-level practitioner means an individual practitioner, other than a physician, dentist, veterinarian, or podiatrist, who is licensed, registered, or otherwise permitted by the United States or the jurisdiction in which he/she practices, to dispense a controlled substance in the course of professional practice. Examples of mid-level practitioners include, but are not limited to, health care providers such as nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, nurse anesthetists, clinical nurse specialists and physician assistants who are authorized to dispense controlled substances by the state in which they practice." Neither of these definitions, nor the term technician, describe a physical therapist. Physical Therapist operate independently of other providers. Direct access is unrestricted in many states, while other states have provisions to direct assess. The title of Physician might be important to you and the chiropractic profession, but it is unimportant to me. I don't have any need to be considered a physician by the joint commission or any other agency. Every states practice act is different, however in Florida the Chiropractic Practice act states "Chiropractic physicians may adjust, manipulate, or treat the human body by manual, mechanical, electrical, or natural methods; by the use of physical means or physiotherapy..." The Physical therapy practice act states: "No person shall practice, or hold herself or himself out as being able to practice, physical therapy in this state unless she or he is licensed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter;..." "(7) "Physical therapy practitioner" means a physical therapist or a physical therapist assistant who is licensed and who practices physical therapy in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. (8) "Physical therapy" or "physiotherapy," each of which terms is deemed identical and interchangeable with each other, means a health care profession." My guess is that the interpretation of these statutes will vary and the overlap of terms only muddy the waters. In regards to your suggestion about increasing basic sciences, you must not be familiar with the curriculum of DPT programs. They include gross anatomy with cadavaric dissection, neurology, neuroanatomy, pathophysiology, cardiopulmonary, differential diagnosis, and pharmacology to name a few. While I wouldn't compare my medical knowledge at the same level of medical doctors like you do, I would say it covers what I need to know to be a competent independent practitioner. Finally, I would suggest that if you feel "Slammed" with your course work, and "hate" cramming all the "PT stuff", I would suggest you advocate to remove it from your curriculum so you can focus on chiropractic philosophy and technique and leave the Physical Therapy to the Physical Therapist. respectfully, Michael Raiman, DPT Posted by Michael Raiman -> AHYa@N on 2/24/2013 1:02 PM Listen Physical Therapy was Medicines answer to chiropractic, think what you want but DC'c perfected the use of all therapeutic modalities before the profession of physical therapy was even invented. Stop with all the propaganda there is no argument, PT's do not even know how to perform a neurological or orthopedic examination, I have been a practicing DC for 20 years and we are BAR NONE the experts in musculoskeletal complaints and a person's general health. Period.. end of story, we advocate cleanliness, healthy whole food eating, less invasive treatment, we argued against rampant antiobiotic and vaccination use, people taking responsibility for their health, when it comes to humans general health, not to mention an excellent adjustor can alleviate 90 percent of musculoskeletal aches and pains, migraines, radiculopathy etc... For aches and pains and wellness take me to a DC 9 times out of 10 but if a car backs over me when then mr MD can have at it!! hell just last week a man was in the news for getting his vision back after an adjustment. Posted by Dr Peter Martin on 6/6/2013 3:24 PM As a private practice owner Google and other search engines are vital to advertising. When I type in "physical therapy" 75% of local results are chiropractors. Now there are 2 on every block. When is the APTA going to go head on at the ACA? As far as manipulation goes I have treated 4 patients in the last 6 months either paralyzed or rushed to ER from chiros!! They will start to lose ground once this danger stops getting swept under the carpet by ACA. I did not re-up my APTA membership not due to money but frustration. Chiros have branded themselves better than any profession I know of. I stopped complaining and started to ACT. I wrote a blog on my website. Www.ptandpainrelief.com and a video blog on YouTube titled Chiropractor vs Physical Therapist. Everyone lets stop talking about it and DO something, we don't need the APTA to talk for us. We all have the ability to write our legislators and ability to inform the public with our blogs/articles!!!! Lets STOP asking others to do our bidding! I am forming a coalition to inform the public myself and anyone who wants to help! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com....lets STOP complaining everyone and let's DO SOMETHING! Posted by Ryan on 7/13/2013 7:37 PM Ryan, That is very interesting that you have treated 4 patients in the last 6 months from chiropractic physicians sending them to the ER. Some reasons I might send a patient with an urgent referral or to the ER who would then most likely require PT later on could include: s/sx VBD, AAA, cauda equina, s/sx heart attack, various fractures such as Jefferson, detection of ↑ intracranial pressure, suspected joint infection, etc. However, the evidence is absolutely not with you on what you seem to be claiming... that the chiropractor injured the patient. VBA is up in the 1/millions, paralysis.... no way buddy. That case was not caused by the chiropractors adjustment (if they even adjusted before sending them to the ER, I bet not!!!). Sorry, this is really upsetting you would make a claim so clearly wrong. Try something more believable like: elderly patient & hvla => broke rib => pneumonia => death. I bet that one exists, maybe even in the 1/50-100 million range. I love PT's. They are underappreciated rockstars, but don't go knockin down chiros unjustified like that. I hole this problem does get fixed with the billing, it is very sad for a patient to not get treatment due to this issue. Posted by Chiro Student on 8/8/2013 3:44 AM "Dr" martin is the president of palmer college of chiropractic. Go figure. He may want to review when physical therapy vs chiropractic was "invented." And then review entrance stats and the literature. Posted by Burton Ford, PT on 9/2/2013 11:09 PM I have studied this issue a little bit. I am a chiropractor in Missouri and in Missouri chiropractors can advertise physiotherapy but not physical therapy. However, I noticed in another state that chiropractors are indeed allowed to advertise that they provide physical therapy services. It should be an interesting debate. Is physical therapy a generic term or limited to services provided by a physical therapist? I can see the argument from both sides and have not yet made up my mind on what is the right thing to do. Posted by MITCHELL DAVIS on 12/9/2013 11:05 AM As a chiropractor who practices in a facility that includes PTs, PTAs and PT aides, I can say, without hesitation, that physiotherapies were taught in my school and I am well-versed in most modalities used in my facilities, however I have the utmost respect for the incredible talents and different skillsets of the PTs/PTAs. I do not practice "chiropractics" though. That word does not exist. The many accurate and passionate responses to the original question refer to a PTs ability to do spinal manipulation. They reference that is comparing what they do to what I, as a chiropractor do when I adjust a patient. To be fair, saying that both spinal manipulation is the same as a chiropractic adjustment is no more honest than a chiropractor saying he/she does physical therapy. It may be semantics, but the playing field needs to be level. Posted by Stan Anderson on 11/25/2016 4:19 PM Will medicare reimburse for physical therapy plan of care if a chiropractor is the type of referral source signing said plan of care? Most states including my own allow Physical Therapists' direct access (see clients without referrals from anyone) however medicare requires that there be a MD, DO, or a physician extender such as APRN or PA that sign that plan of care and re-certify it every so often. What I'm wanting to find out is will medicare accept a chiropractor signature for that? Posted by David Escobar -> @OW_> on 2/15/2017 1:09 PM Interesting thread. I have never liked the term physical therapy used as a treatment term. I think it is rather broad and really does your field a disservice because it does not adequately define what you do. You are a Physical Therapist who employs a variety of techniques and treatment strategies based upon each individual patients needs from therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, gait training, vestibular rehab and so on. You do not do physical therapy. )I don't even know what that really means.) The term defining who you are should not be the same term that defines what you do. Now to my fellow chiropractors that advertise they do PT they are doing it IMO intentionally to deceive the public. On a side note. I think a problem with organizations like the AMA, ACA and APTA is that sometimes in acting in the best interest of your profession you are not always acting in the best interest of the people we as professions are supposed to be serving. Posted by Robert Brant DC on 6/29/2017 3:43 PM Hey...if Physical Therapists want to take one infinitesimally small aspect of acupuncture which is needling an ashi point, use acupuncture needles, and then call it dry needling, I think EVERYONE in every profession should start using physical therapy and billing out for it to increase their revenue. Whatever it takes, right? Stay in your lane and practice what you do. Since you folks want to start practicing acupuncture, I'm going to start doing physical therapy. Posted by Cut the BS on 7/4/2017 2:46 PM Chiropractors are trained in PT and even take a PT board. In Michigan we can do PT and Bill for it. It saddens me that in this state the PTs refuse to work alongside us for the betterment of the patient, often telling their patients to not see a chiropractor while doing PT (which is illegal for them to say by the way!) PTs in Michigan refuse to take a referral from a chiropractor, forcing the patient to see their MD in order to get that, despite chiropractors being port of entry and not needing a referral to come and see Us And despite the fact that We don't even NEED the PT as we have been trained in PT and rehab ourselves! I'm starting to work to keep all my patients in house and do all the therapy myself instead of refer it out because of the ego of the local PTs!! Posted by Kelly on 8/14/2018 7:19 AM

Witness shares video of medical helicopter crash
Driver says he watched helicopter losing altitude
A Mason City man shared video Thursday of the moments after a medical helicopter crash.
Darrell Lewis said he was driving along an icy highway when he saw the helicopter struggling to stay airborne.
"It was probably about 7:30 or (7:45) when I left my house," Lewis said. "I was heading west with a friend to rescue his daughter who had went into a ditch because of the icy roads."
As Lewis drove slowly along Highway 18 just west of Mason City, he saw something he will never forget.
"Up alongside of us and quite low was the Mercy Hospital helicopter," Lewis said. "He was low enough that I could see the whole helicopter and see it was red and white."
The crash happened just moments later.
"There's just this enormous orange ball -- some kind of explosion that filled the whole sky," Lewis said.
Lewis said he rushed to the scene of the crash.
"When we got there, there wasn't a lot left. It had pretty much disintegrated," Lewis said.
Lewis grabbed his phone and started recording video of the aftermath.
"I panned out to the farmhouse that it probably missed by 500 to 600 feet," Lewis said. "There was smoke that you can see in the video, but there were no signs of the helicopter."
Just more than a day after the crash, Lewis said he can still see the images of the crash.
"He was flying crooked and low, and then he kind of disappeared into the darkness," Lewis said.
Not only did Lewis witness the crash of the helicopter, but he learned the pilot was a Mercy Medical Center nurse who cared for his father just before he passed away.
The crash is under investigation.

For the same reason that money only goes up.
A member of staff at the centre's ice cream stall is said to have told officers that Mr White took photographs of her with his trouser zip open.
He added: "It is because Mr White chose to seek publicity for his account of events and because of the planned demonstration that we feel compelled to take the unusual step of making our findings public.
"In reaching our conclusions, officers took statements from a number of independent witnesses and viewed the substantial amount of CCTV that was available in the centre.
"On reviewing all of this objective evidence, I have to tell you that we can find no basis to support the complaint which Mr White has elected to make.

"I'm not a big fan of the social media, personally," Thornton said on ESPN 1000's "Talking Baseball." "I don't tweet. I don't Facebook. I don't like it in sports at all. I don't think it's necessary at all. … What happened here with Oney tweeting what he did, that's crossing a pretty big line in my personal opinion. That's something that's gotta be addressed quickly and taken care of and snuffed out real fast. Anytime you bring clubhouse stuff out in the open, I don't care what it is, it's that person's personal business and also the clubhouse's personal business. That's the first time all this stuff has really irritated me. It doesn't matter what's true and what's not true, I don't care about that. The fact that anything was said at all is ridiculous. It's definitely gotta be addressed and taken care of real quick around here."

Charleston Community Acupuncture's Chad Houfek has been offering sliding scale acupuncture services since the place first opened, back in 2009. Community Acupuncture has been taking home the Best Acupuncturist award since 2013, and for good reason.
First of all, that sliding scale is awesome. Depending on how much you can afford, you can choose what amount of money to pay for your acupuncture. If you're a newbie and totally intimidated by the prospect of little tiny needles sticking you, you're not alone. Houfek gets that and is happy to calm your nerves with a free, introductory consultation. He'll ask you where your aches and pains are and make sure you know exactly what's happening throughout the process. We know, we've been there. And we felt so great after. As Houfek told us last year for a feature story on the topic of self-care: "I think that if more people educate themselves and take responsibility for their health, and putting their money where their health is, then we might see a healthier shift in our society." - Connelly Hardaway

What is your favorite animal to visit at the zoo? Draw a picture of that animal. Beneath your drawing, write down what kind of animal it is AND its name.
What animals have you been able to observe up close? Take a few minutes to think about how those animals behave.
Identify the animal you've observed and at least three things that animal does that set it apart from other animals. How do these behaviors help the animal survive?
Many man-made inventions are a result of people studying how different animals live. For instance, scientists study birds when designing airplanes. Sonar technology mimics how bats use sound waves to navigate instead of sight.
Imagine that you are one of the scientists. You've been tasked to invent something useful for humans based on the abilities, instincts or behavior of an animal.
To start, choose an animal to study.
Then, brainstorm the different traits and abilities associated with this animal.
Finally, describe at least one possible invention/man-made creation that could be made based on one of those animal's abilities. Your description should be at least one paragraph.

Henrik Lundqvist turned aside 30 shots and the New York Rangers created some distance from the Philadelphia Flyers in the Metropolitan Division race by notching a 3-1 victory in a key late-season matchup.
Lundqvist's effort was supported by goals from Derek Dorsett, Ryan McDonagh and Dominic Moore and ran the Rangers' win streak to a season-high five games.
The result also moved New York three points ahead of the Flyers for second place in the division, though Philadelphia still has two games in hand.
Lundqvist took a shutout deep into the third period before Jakub Voracek spoiled the bid with 1:53 remaining.
Steve Mason stopped 26 shots in the loss, the Flyers' eighth straight in regulation at Madison Square Garden since a 4-2 decision over the Blueshirts on Feb. 20, 2011.

Truly Tuley: Let the light shine in
ADDRESS: 2969 Catlett Road
SIZE: 4,360 fin. sq. ft.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Garth Road in Western Albemarle
CURB APPEAL: 9 out of a possible 10
LISTED BY: Jim Bonner of Roy Wheeler Realty Co. 951-5155
When this house was built 25 years ago, Garth Road was still untouched by the McMansions that sprouted during the 1990s. This must have been the boondocks, with nothing but a dirt trail through the woods.
However, someone did find this spot, chose James Tuley as the architect, and erected a contemporary ode not just to privacy but also to the outdoors.
As described by the realtor, it is indeed a "stunning contemporary," and its 35 acres still mean a total lack of neighbors, as it sits proudly atop an expanse of grass.
Or mostly proudly. Because of the architectural angles, the entrance alongside a single-car garage barely registers as interesting.
Once you're through a small vestibule and up a spiral staircase, the house opens into a light-infused spectacle. An entire wall of uninterrupted glass stretches along the living area and draws one to it like the proverbial moth.
Trees and mountains appear so close that they seem part of the décor. The kitchen, with a narrower, yet continuous band of glass, looks over the parking area.
Tuley worked closely with his clients, noting individual needs and adapting accordingly. Walter Hauser, Professor Emeritus of History at UVA, knew Tuley personally as well as professionally and says Tuley was "more site-specific" than any architect he knew. Hauser didn't commission this place, but he knows the drill.
"It was specifically designed to meet my needs as an academic and so I could see the woods and mountains," Hauser says of his own Tuley-designed house.
Tinted sliding glass doors are the only partition between living/dining areas and the master bedroom. Sort of an odd arrangement until one gets to the bathroom.
Straight out of Architectural Digest, the sunken bathtub is situated so that its focus is another entire wall of exterior glass. This isn't for everybody, but why not? There's nothing to look at but trees and sky and, as if on cue, a few deer meander into the picture.
The rest of the house is not Tuley designed, but you'd never know it. The house flows like a stream into the new addition.– with the same unobstructed views and soaring ceiling angles. Built as an almost mirror image of the preceding floor plan, the duplicate living space could house in-laws or itinerant family members. An elevator has been installed, but it's located behind a door and looks to the casual observer just like a closet.
Downstairs, the ground level– which can be accessed by the elevator or down the spiral steps– contains more large rooms but with less splash than upstairs. The current owners added 17 windows and opened up a hallway making it seem much more open than originally intended. Two bedrooms, laundry room, wine cellar, and an office are the current configurations and keep the daily flotsam out of the way of the majesty upstairs.
The two bedrooms share a colossal deck, and stepping onto it makes you feel as if you're on the prow of an aircraft carrier plowing through the waves. Of course, here it's just you and the tree-covered hills of central Virginia.
Tuley knew what he was doing. His style, as modern as it appears on paper, fits the landscape. There's a level of comfort created by precise design. Hauser says he spoke to many architects when deciding on building but none of them, he says, responded to the site as well as Tuley.

Diversify your business by offering perimeter pest control
While many green industry professionals focus on providing their customers with green lawns, many have also realized the benefit and opportunities in offering add-on services, such as pest control. Providing these additional services offers consumers the ease of having one trusted service provider to meet both their landscape and pest control needs. This also affords lawn care operators an opportunity to increase revenue, generate additional sales, increase their brand awareness and build a loyal customer base. If you're considering adding this service to your business, take some tips from the experts profiled below. If not, you may want to reconsider.
Traditional pest control companies require the homeowner to be home at the time of service, thereby providing access inside the home. Companies offering interior pest control attribute successful insect elimination to providing both interior and exterior pest control applications. The interior applications are aimed at those insects already inhabiting the home, while exterior treatments target insects before they have an opportunity to enter the home.
Massey Services, which operates 50 family-owned-and-operated service centers in Georgia and Florida, provides both initial interior services and ongoing exterior services designed to prevent pest access and activity to the inside of the home. Bob Belmont, pest prevention training and technical director for Massey Services, has his master's degree in entomology and owned his own pest control company for 16 years prior to joining Massey Services in 2000.
"We offer pest prevention, which entails a comprehensive initial treatment and regular inspection and services thereafter, centering on sealing the structure and using low-hazard baits or residuals outdoors, only where necessary," Belmont said. "Customers prefer this service to traditional indoor pest control, which incorporates the indiscriminant broadcasting of pesticides to the inside of the home, whether needed or not. During our regular visits, we perform a thorough inspection to determine what preventative actions need to be taken, such as caulking pest access points or pruning plant limbs to help prevent pests from getting inside. Depending upon the inspection findings, low-hazard baits or granules may be used in garden areas where pest activity is found."
Lawn Doctor, Inc., which supports approximately 475 locally-owned-and-operated franchises coast to coast, provides its customers with Perimeter Pest Control in addition to its Lawn Maintainer Care Program. Lawn Doctor's pest control treats only the exterior of the home.
"With households becoming dual income, it's become increasingly difficult to gain access to the home during the regular business day," said John Buechner, director of technical services for Lawn Doctor, Inc. "In order to help solve the pest control problem while accommodating the needs and concerns of the consumer, we've opted to move toward Perimeter Pest Control to help control the inhabitation of insects into the home."
Doc Nichols, Middleton Lawn and Pest Control, has his Ph.D. in entomology and has more than 30 years of pest control experience. Middleton Lawn and Pest Control, located in Florida, operates 22 privately held locations.
"We don't do conventional pest control; we don't do any spraying inside the home," Nichols said. "Instead, we use a baiting process, which takes technicians about two to two and a half hours for a 2,000-square-foot house. We use gel bait in the kitchen and bathrooms, granular bait around heavy pieces of equipment like the stove, washer/dryer and refrigerator. Then we treat harborage areas with dust and crack and crevice treatments."
Although the pests may change depending on geographic region, the concern for the health of family and pets remains the same. Consumers who already employ a professional lawn care service provider are an excellent target audience for add-on services, such as pest control.
"Primarily, offering Perimeter Pest Control as an add-on service just makes sense," said Scott Frith, marketing director for Lawn Doctor, Inc. "It allows our franchise owners to use their resources more efficiently to generate additional revenue. It also provides our customers with something much more important: an opportunity to utilize the same professionals they already trust to take advantage of an extended menu of services. We also market pest control to consumers at large, using advertising materials that describe the program and its benefits created by our marketing staff."
Many lawn care operators market pest control using traditional marketing materials sent via regular mail or left behind for the customer following a service. Middleton Lawn and Pest Control also targets customers using e-mail and actually convert their pest control customers to lawn care.
"We are a full-service company, and they [customers] often move from being termite customers to pest control customers and then to lawn care customers," Nichols said. "We bundle our services to offer a discounted rate."
According to Belmont, Massey Services receives a lot of pest prevention sales simply through word of mouth. Although this type of consumer-driven advertising is beneficial to any business, many organizations find it necessary to market their customer-base with professional materials.
"We do all kinds of cross-selling using brochures, discount incentives and our inspectors' professional sales skills, converting at least 75 percent of our lawn care customers' inquiries about our residential pest service to our pest prevention service," Belmont said. "Once they [consumers] meet our inspectors, they're sold."
The number of pest control services varies, primarily due to the differentiation between interior and exterior applications. Although those organizations promoting interior pest control maintain the value of eliminating insects from the inside out, they only treat the interior as needed and, instead, focus on exterior treatments to help keep unwanted pests from inhabiting the home.
"The number of services is determined based on the initial inspection, history and conversations with the customer," Belmont said.
In fact, the number of services provided by Massey Services is partly dependent on the geographic location of the infested structure. Massey Services' technicians meet their customers' needs using both interior and exterior treatments, based on the situational analysis conducted during the initial inspection.
Although Massey Services provides interior treatments, technicians do not provide them regularly, unless deemed necessary based on customer pest sightings, infestation history or inspection. A commercial property may require monthly services, whereas a newly built home generally requires only quarterly visits.
"During inspections, we look for dead insects, live insects, droppings, nibbling and whatever samples the customer provides," Belmont said. "We look in and around the home for avenues and for sources of infestation; a gap under a door, for example. Then we make appropriate recommendations or treatments based upon the findings. We regularly seal and caulk structures to eliminate pest and rodent avenues of entry."
According to Nichols, Middleton Lawn and Pest Control provides an initial inspection at no charge to the customer. Once customers sign up, they receive their first service, which is performed to both the inside and outside of the home. The second service, six months later, treats just the perimeter of home for insects, providing a barrier to pest infestation. The pest control service offered by Middleton Lawn and Pest Control covers all pests including termites, roaches and rodents.
"Lawn Doctor's pest control is comprised of three to six services, depending on the area of the country," Buechner said. "Lawn Doctor owners in Florida, for example, offer six perimeter applications because of the warm climate and longer growing season. A service program in the Midwest, however, may consist of three or four services."
Providing pricing recommendations proves to be challenging for some lawn care service providers because of the variables associated with each customer, including home size, lawn size, the application of either interior or exterior treatments and the frequency of applications.
"Based on the climactic differences from region to region, it's not possible to provide a standard pricing structure for our pest control program," Buechner said. "We encourage our franchisees to provide a free inspection, which gives the customer a specific price quote and an outline of Lawn Doctor's program."
Massey Services does have a pricing scale for its technicians to follow. According to Adam Jones, vice president and director of quality assurance, the pricing is based on how long it takes to provide the service, the lineal footage of the exterior foundation of the home, the number of structural elements that need to be treated (such as attics and crawl spaces) and how many recurring services are required.
"Although this service is site-specific, it is not as site-specific as lawn care. We use a rate card that consists of a monthly care rate, a bi-monthly rate and a quarterly rate, all offered following the initial inspection and treatment," said Jones.
Massey's general price model is used as a guide; special situations, such as serious pest problems, the degree of infestation and unusual treatment issues are priced accordingly. For a monthly and bi-monthly service plan, a customer can expect to pay $90 to $120 for the initial service and $25 to $60 for each recurring service. For those customers receiving the quarterly pest control plan, they can expect to pay $120 to $150 for the initial service with recurring services costing $80 to $95.
For lawn care service providers looking to make pest control part of their business, Jones recommends the following, "Shop in your own market to find what's going on. Mystery shop your competitors."
Large and small business owners in the green industry face various challenges. Some of these include communication, licensure, retaining staff, marketing and customer loyalty.
"There are many challenges, but some of the bigger ones are dealing with 'double digit' growth and keeping everyone trained properly and in the same line of communication," Belmont said. "Everyone needs to know what's happening and recent changes when they are made, so that the company can run smoothly. Good communication is an important key to successful growth."
"Lawn Doctor franchisees are encouraged to offer Perimeter Pest Control as an add-on service to lawn care, and the materials are provided to aid their success," Buechner said. "However, state requirements for licensure can be challenging and can actually prohibit some of our guys from offering the service."
Clearly, many lawn care operators are moving in the direction of offering pest control services in addition to their lawn care programs. Implementing this add-on service as part of your overall business model requires some planning. Primarily, be sure to find out what your state's license requirements are prior to marketing this service. Next, determine what your resource needs are, including both personnel and equipment. Finally, create effective marketing materials that let your customers know about this new add-on service. Including pest control, whether it be interior, exterior or a combination of the two, will help you grow your business and increase your customer loyalty.

I am dubious. It says on the web site, "Earning an online high school diploma on the basis of online equivalency test is a matter of days, not months or years. There is no need to attend classes and submit assignments; hence, there is no need to wait for something that you deserve. You can apply to receive your high school diplomas in just 15 – 20 days."
In other words, send us a check and we'll send you the diploma as soon as it clears. Well, they just want the credit card. There is no actual address anywhere on the web site.
Looks like a scam to me. Mail me a checck and I'll send you a diploma as soon as it clears. I know how to make a really good one.

Lindsay Lohan - double trouble - risks return to jail
Post: #1
Lindsay Lohan on Thursday faced the possibility of being sent back to jail after a tumultuous 24 hours in which she was arrested in New York for assault, and charged in California with reckless driving and lying to police over a June car crash.
Lohan, 26, who has been to rehab, jail and court multiple times since a 2007 arrest for drunk driving and cocaine possession, is still on unsupervised probation in Los Angeles for a 2011 jewellery theft.
But prosecutors in Santa Monica, California, said in a statement on Thursday that the "Mean Girls" actress lied to police when she told them she was not at the wheel of her Porsche when it smashed into a truck on a busy highway in the summer.
They charged Lohan with three misdemeanour counts stemming from that collision, hours after the troubled starlet was arrested on suspicion of punching a woman in the face at a Manhattan nightclub.
Lohan's New York attorney Mark Heller said the actress was "a victim of someone trying to capture their 15 minutes of fame."
"From my initial investigation, I am completely confident that this case will be concluded favourably and that Lindsay will be completely exonerated," Heller said in a statement on the nightclub incident.
Frank Mateljan of the Los Angeles City Attorney's office, which handled the 2011 jewellery case, said prosecutors were still awaiting paperwork from New York and Santa Monica to determine if they will pursue a probation violation case against Lohan.
A Los Angeles judge told Lohan in March that she must obey all rules until 2014, and advised her to stop night-clubbing and focus on her work.
The two incidents came during a rough week for the former "Parent Trap" child star, who was once considered one of the most promising young actresses in Hollywood.
Her comeback performance on Sunday as screen legend Elizabeth Taylor in the TV movie "Liz & Dick," was panned by critics and watched by a disappointingly small U.S. TV audience of 3.5 million.
In New York, Lohan was briefly arrested shortly after 4 a.m. (0900 GMT) on Thursday on a third-degree misdemeanour assault charge against a 28-year-old woman, police said. The victim suffered minor injuries, New York Police Sergeant John Buthorn said.
Celebrity website TMZ.com said Lohan had been drinking heavily and lashed out in a stand-off over one of the members of British boy band The Wanted, who were also at the club after playing a concert in New York.
Lohan's recent visits to New York have featured run-ins with police and public spats over the last three months.
In October, police were called to the Long Island home of Lohan's mother, Dina, after a loud argument, though no arrests were made. In September, Lohan was arrested in Manhattan after a pedestrian told police her car had struck him in an alley, but charges were not filed.

Royals closer sets club single-season saves record
Greg Holland collects 46th save of the season
The new Royals club record set on Thursday, Sept. 26, was met with little fanfare outside of Kansas City. Coming a day after the Royals' quest for the playoffs ended, perhaps it did not even get the recognition it deserved at home.
With strikeouts of Paul Konerko, Adam Dunn and a pop out off the bat of Dayan Viciedo, Royals closer Greg Holland collected his 46th save of the season -- breaking the club single-season saves record previously held by Royals Hall of Famers Dan Quisenberry (1983) and Jeff Montgomery (1993).
When it comes to closers over the last one-third of a century, the Royals have been blessed with some of the best in Major League baseball. Since Quisenberry debuted in 1979, the Royals have had a succession of four dominant closers. The Royals' first championship teams experienced playoff disappointments for several years in large measure to their lack of a steady reliable closer. Of course, all of that changed in Quisenberry's first full season when he helped lead Kansas City to its first American League championship in 1980. He still holds the MLB record -- along with Mariano Rivera -- with five Reliefman of the Year awards. Quiz set a high standard, and fortunately for the Royals, he also started a Kansas City tradition.
The unheralded and undrafted free agent Quisenberry was followed by Montgomery, the minor trade acquisition of February 1988 that became a major force for the Royals throughout the 1990s. Montgomery surpassed many of Quisenberry's records, including the club's all-time saves record of 304, to become a Royals Hall of Famer himself. He was the first pitcher in MLB history to collect 300 career saves with a single team.
The run of outstanding closers seemed to have stopped at two after nearly 20 years of Quisenberry and Montgomery at the back of the Royals bullpen. There were contenders to the crown after Montgomery, in particular Mike MacDougal, who posted a Royals rookie record of 27 saves in 2003. MacDougal was named an American League All-Star that season, but his success didn't last beyond that exciting rookie campaign.
In 2007, the tradition was renewed when a virtual unknown named Joakim Soria led the Royals in saves with 17. It turned out that was just a hint of what was to come from Kansas City's 2006 Rule-5 draftee. Soria led the club in saves for the next five years, including personal bests of 42 in 2008 and 43 in 2010. The two-time All-Star was a worthy heir to Quisenberry and Montgomery until a second [Tommy John surgery] stalled his career with the Royals after the 2011 season.
Again the Royals needed to replace one of the most effective and reliable closers in baseball. They seemed to have found another answer in Greg Holland -- their 10th-round Draft selection out of Western Carolina University. Holland opened 2012 as a setup man and ended it as the closer.
Beginning the night after then-Royals closer Jonathan Broxton was traded to Cincinnati, Holland nabbed the job. He went on to convert 16 of 18 save opportunities, including his first 13 in a row. Overall, he had 91 strikeouts in 67 innings pitched, averaging an impressive 12.22 per nine innings, second among AL pitchers with at least 60 innings pitched and the best such mark in Royals history. Now we know that was just Holland's opening act. This year he joined Quisenberry, Montgomery and Soria in the tradition of representing Kansas City in the All-Star Game. Entering play on Sept. 27, 2013, Holland converted 46 saves (in 49 attempts), second only to the Orioles' Jim Johnson with 48 saves (in 57 attempts).
If Holland stays consistent he will be a key factor in helping the Royals build upon their 2013 winning season. Being a closer is like having a featured role in a musical -- you're not the star, but you have one big solo that will make or break your performance. When Holland blew a save at Philadelphia in the first week of the season, he was briefly moved from the closer role. But Royals manager Ned Yost quickly returned to him, and Holland has since posted one of, if not the best, relief pitching performance in Royals history. Holland started this year with one brief off-key note but is ending with a much deserved standing ovation.


text: Just thought I'd post a couple new shots, now that I'm starting to find the time to do a bit more modeling again. These are WIPs of the Klingon briefing room, seen in "The Time Trap" in TAS; the general layout of the room is based upon what was seen in the episode, but I'm trying to flesh out the design a bit. There will be considerably more detail when this is done, as there will be the equivalents of Enterprise's tabletop viewer and comm stations, as well as hardware and comm screens on the walls and at the doorways. Original scene from episode (Screenshot courtesy TrekCore.com) The chairs used are nothing like those in the episode; I designed them with this project in mind, and added a more robust chair on the long edge of the table where I consider the ship's captain would normally sit, in the place of honor. Standard chair Captain's chair (removed the arms for the briefing room) It's hard to see in this shot, but the briefing room has a cathedral ceiling, with a large lighting module hanging directly over the table; the image from the episode gave me the impression that this room was considerably larger and more impressive than Starfleet's utilitarian architecture.

New year, new manager – a concept every Barnet fan has become all-too-familiar with.
When former Gillingham and Peterborough coach Mark Robson joined the club in June 2012, he was promised "a job for life"; instead he was undermined, slated by the fans and very rarely praised by anyone.
You could tell the players liked him – seeing younger team members celebrate goals with him was lovely to watch and the Tweets following his departure spoke volumes – however, for some reason, the Underhill faithful never properly warmed to him, and sadly I have to include myself among that number.
With the arrival of Edgar Davids as 'Joint Head Coach' in October last year, there were always going to be doubts as to how two very different characters could possibly manage the same team together – indeed, it could be argued that the departure of Robson was inevitable from the start.
And so we begin 2013 with just the one manager, and one who has very little direct experience of coaching at any level.
Not surprisingly, there's still a strong sense of uncertainty surrounding the club, exacerbated by the lack of news regarding plans to relocate to The Hive in Edgware for the 2013/14 campaign and compounded by questions linked to Davids' likely tenure at the helm.
To make matters worse, there's a real dearth of quality within the squad.
With the transfer window open, now is the time to offload the 'dead wood' and invest in replacements – any fan will tell you that.
Unfortunately at Barnet, everything seems to be left to the last minute, which tends to be too late.
Take this campaign for example: we appointed Robson with the previous season finishing the month before.
In order to assemble a full squad in time for the new campaign, a number of apparently hasty decisions were made regarding signings and even then the team was modest in size.
I'll be honest though: 2013 cannot possibly be as bad as 2012, or 2011 for that matter. Or even 2010 if it comes to that.
Nobody ever expects us to beat the drop, so why not silence the critics right now and instead of settling for 22nd place, aspire to something slightly more ambitious.
As for 2012, the highlight was, of course, the final day 'great escape' we've long become accustomed to – beating Burton Albion away 2-1, the winner coming from 'captain fantastic' Mark Hughes.
In truth, things only began to gel when the inspirational Martin Allen arrived for his annual final three games of the season in charge.
With 'mad dog' at the helm and a potential nine points to play for, there was a real buzz around Underhill: fans actually got excited and turned up in fairly large numbers for the penultimate game against AFC Wimbledon – a marked contrast to the leaden, morgue-like atmosphere that usually pervades the ground.
The result: a sensational 4-0 victory that proved hugely influential in helping us beat the drop.
That said, there had been a real sense of excitement earlier in the season, with the possibility the Bees could be heading for Wembley.
Under Lawrie 'the magician' Sanchez, the club made the area final of the JPT for the first time, although we were handed a difficult draw against the eventual League Two champions, Paulo Di Canio's Swindon Town.
That one episode summed up 2012 nicely: we were genuinely excited about a competition fans rarely enthuse about, a cup that's great if you make Wembley but is dismissed out-of-hand when you get knocked out.
So how best to conclude? It was the usual doom and gloom at the 'Hill – a mixture of limp performances and soul-destroying underachievement.
The undisputed low point of last season came in October 2011: hosting Burton Albion we succumbed to a humiliating 6-3 defeat.
Sanchez should probably have gone there and then but we were left to endure a further six months of embarrassment and ridicule.
At present, it's still very close at the bottom of League Two, with just eight points separating 18th and 24th.
The future may become clearer when the club learns to communicate with its fans on a more regular and considered basis, but in the meantime, here's hoping we surpass the past three seasons' last-day survival routine.

New mosaic of Titan
Bright and dark terrain on Titan's trailing hemisphere is revealed by Cassini's Imaging Science Subsystem in this mosaic of images taken during the T28 flyby in April 2007.
The region shown in this image, centred on the northern part of Titan's trailing hemisphere (near 31.2° North, 139.3° East), had only been seen at very low resolution until February 2007, when Cassini flew over this area for the first time. This mosaic consists of images taken during one of a series of flybys in early 2007 designed to study this long unavailable part of Titan (5150 kilometres across).
Several intriguing surface features that warrant further study can be seen in this mosaic. Along the top of the mosaic is a series of dark lineaments, or linear features, that stand out against the bland northern, mid-latitude terrain. These features were also observed by the RADAR instrument in December 2006 and represent an area of potential future co-analysis for the RADAR and camera teams. Another such region is the large bright area known as Adiri at bottom centre, also imaged by RADAR in October 2005.
The mosaic shows a number of dark areas within Adiri that line up with small dune fields observed by RADAR. A portion of the dark terrain surrounding Adiri was also observed by RADAR in 2005 and was similarly found to consist of large stretches of longitudinal dune fields - further supporting the correlation between equatorial dark regions and dune 'seas'.
To the east of Adiri is a dark spot surrounded by a ring of bright material, which may be associated with an impact crater similar to Sinlap, discovered earlier in the mission.
This mosaic consists of 29 separate frames using a total of 116 images. Each frame consists of three images, taken using a filter sensitive to near-infrared light centred at 938 nanometres, allowing for observations of Titan's surface and lower atmosphere, added together.
An image taken using a filter sensitive to visible light centred at 619 nanometres was then subtracted from the product, effectively removing the lower atmosphere contribution to the brightness values in the image, increasing image contrast and improving the visibility of surface features. This process is also intended to reduce noise, but some camera artefacts still remain, such as a dark ring caused by dust in the camera system near the bottom right of each frame.
The images used for this mosaic were taken on April 11, 2007 from distances ranging from
