Infinity Rehab Director Selected for American Occupational Therapy Association Emerging Leaders Development Program
Courtney Holmes, COTA and Director of Rehab for Infinity Rehab at Shalom Park in Aurora, CO was recently selected to participate in the esteemed American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) Emerging Leaders Development Program.
Denver, CO (PRWEB) June 24, 2015
Courtney Holmes, COTA and Director of Rehab for Infinity Rehab at Shalom Park in Aurora, CO was recently selected to participate in the esteemed American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) Emerging Leaders Development Program. According to AOTA, participants “receive leadership training, ongoing mentorship, and participation in current service opportunities that match each participant’s own leadership goals.” The year-long program kicks off with a two-day leadership institute, August 18-19, 2015, at AOTA headquarters in Bethesda, MD.
“Courtney is a self-driven leader with the ability to follow through on her own commitments and inspire others into action,” says Derek Fenwick, PT, MBA, GCS, and Director of Professional Development for Infinity Rehab. “I am so impressed with Courtney's ability to quickly assess a situation and make key insights that help advance the conversation. We are so fortunate to have Courtney on our team at Infinity Rehab and I look forward to watching her abilities and influence continues to grow along her career trajectory that is clearly headed for greatness.”
Courtney has been with Infinity Rehab as a Director of Rehab for just over one year and already is advancing her leadership skills in impressive ways at this early stage in her career. She joined the Occupational Therapy profession just over two years ago and immediately challenged herself by accepting a management position in one of our Denver-area programs.
“As a participant in the Emerging Leaders Development program, I hope to have the opportunity to continue to explore my interests in evidence-based practice in Occupational Therapy,” says Holmes. “While I have always been involved in AOTA, this program will allow me to become well-integrated, creating partnerships with mentors and colleagues to help our organization reach our Centennial Vision.”
While working full-time, Courtney is now pursuing a Master of Professional Studies degree in Healthcare Leadership from the University of Denver, which she expects to complete next year. Courtney was also recently accepted into the first-ever cohort of the Infinity Rehab Leadership Academy, a professional development program that offers a year-long learning experience that combines onsite and distance learning to help transform high potential employees into high functioning leaders. Each of these examples represents a tangible step on a career trajectory that is clearly headed for great personal and professional success for Courtney.

“Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can’t Weight”: Shane and Marissa begin their wedding transformation journey at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center
Before beginning their transformation journey, Shane and Marissa had spent only five days apart in their seven years together. Their efforts to transform could bring the couple closer together, or it could drive them apart.
Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) June 25, 2015
Season 5 of the hit ABC series "Extreme Weight Loss" offers a new twist with three special companion piece editions -- "Love Can't Weight" -- in which three obese couples get in shape, both physically and emotionally, for each of their weddings. In this episode, Shane and Marissa are determined to shape up so that when they get married, they can actually wrap their arms around each other for their first dance.
The couple’s incredible transformation will be featured on “Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can’t Weight” on TUESDAY, JUNE 30 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network.
Shane (40 years old) weighs 467 pounds, and Marissa (32 years old) weighs 255 pounds. The two met during low points in their lives. Shane had just been through a wrenching divorce, while Marissa was struggling with her father‘s unexpected suicide.
The two bonded over a sedentary lifestyle that included eating out nearly every single day. Before beginning their transformation journey, the couple had spent only five days apart in their seven years together. Their efforts to transform could bring Shane and Marissa closer together, or it could drive them apart.
This episode documents the temptations facing the couple as they fight to embrace a healthy lifestyle.
Like the cast members on “Extreme Weight Loss,” the couples will begin their transformation journey attending boot camp at the renowned University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora, Colo. The center’s associate director Holly Wyatt, MD, serves as medical director for the television program. Wyatt is affectionately known as “Dr. Holly” to the cast members and is seen on the show each week helping the couples safely lose up to half of their body weight, as well as the emotional baggage that often holds one back, in preparation for their weddings.
At the end of this episode, Shane and Marissa will continue the tradition of “paying it forward” by giving a friend or family member the opportunity to transform his or her life. The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will provide the designees with a place to begin their own weight loss journeys at the one-week, evidence-based Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp transformation program.
Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp was inspired by Wyatt’s participation in the TV show. She designed the boot camp to provide participants with the tools they need to complete their own successful weight loss transformations – without the TV cameras! Limited space is available in upcoming boot camps and weight loss seekers are encouraged to learn more and register now.
The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center is recognized as a global leader in the fight against obesity. It offers some of the country’s most advanced research and science-based expertise, focusing on a comprehensive weight loss and weight management approach, including fitness, nutrition and wellness services. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
“Extreme Weight Loss” is produced by 3 Ball Entertainment. JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Matt Assmus and Brant Pinvidic are the executive producers. Reported by PRWeb 21 hours ago.

The couple’s incredible transformation will be featured on “Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can’t Weight” on TUESDAY, JUNE 30 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network.
Shane (40 years old) weighs 467 pounds, and Marissa (32 years old) weighs 255 pounds. The two met during low points in their lives. Shane had just been through a wrenching divorce, while Marissa was struggling with her father‘s unexpected suicide.
The two bonded over a sedentary lifestyle that included eating out nearly every single day. Before beginning their transformation journey, the couple had spent only five days apart in their seven years together. Their efforts to transform could bring Shane and Marissa closer together, or it could drive them apart.
This episode documents the temptations facing the couple as they fight to embrace a healthy lifestyle.
Like the cast members on “Extreme Weight Loss,” the couples will begin their transformation journey attending boot camp at the renowned University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora, Colo. The center’s associate director Holly Wyatt, MD, serves as medical director for the television program. Wyatt is affectionately known as “Dr. Holly” to the cast members and is seen on the show each week helping the couples safely lose up to half of their body weight, as well as the emotional baggage that often holds one back, in preparation for their weddings.
At the end of this episode, Shane and Marissa will continue the tradition of “paying it forward” by giving a friend or family member the opportunity to transform his or her life. The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will provide the designees with a place to begin their own weight loss journeys at the one-week, evidence-based Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp transformation program.
Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp was inspired by Wyatt’s participation in the TV show. She designed the boot camp to provide participants with the tools they need to complete their own successful weight loss transformations – without the TV cameras! Limited space is available in upcoming boot camps and weight loss seekers are encouraged to learn more and register now.
The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center is recognized as a global leader in the fight against obesity. It offers some of the country’s most advanced research and science-based expertise, focusing on a comprehensive weight loss and weight management approach, including fitness, nutrition and wellness services.

15 Most Outrageous Police Responses after Killing Unarmed People
Police kill a lot of unarmed people. So far in 2015, as many as 100 unarmed people have been killed by police. Here are fifteen of the most outrageous reasons given by police to justify killing unarmed people in the last twelve months.
First, a bit of background. So far in 2015, there have been around 400 fatal police shootings already; one in six of those killings, 16 percent, were of unarmed people, 49 had no weapon at all and 13 had toys, according to the Washington Post. Of the police killings this year less than 1 percent have resulted in the officer being charged with a crime. The Guardian did a study which included killings by Tasers and found 102 people killed by police so far in 2015 were unarmed and that unarmed Black people are twice as likely to be killed by police as whites.
One. He was Dancing in the Street and Walking with a Purpose. On June 9, 2015 an unarmed man, Ryan Bollinger, was shot by police in Des Moines after "walking with a purpose" towards the police car after he exited his vehicle after a low speed chase started when he was observed dancing in the street and behaving erratically. The deceased was shot by the police through the rolled up cruiser window. The murder is under investigation.
Two. Thought It Was My Taser. An unarmed man, Eric Harris, ran from the police in Tulsa Oklahoma on April 2, 2015. After he was shot in the back by a Taser by one officer and was on the ground, another 73 year old volunteer reserve officer shot and killed him, all captured by video. While dying he was yelling that he was losing his breath, to which one of the officers responded "F*ck your breath." The police said the officer thought he was shooting his Taser and "inadvertently discharged his service weapon." The officer has been charged with second degree manslaughter. Running away from the police so often provokes police overreaction that the aggressive police response has several names including the "foot tax" and the "running tax."
Three. Naked Man Refused to Stop. A naked unarmed mentally ill Air Force Afghanistan veteran, Anthony Hill, was shot and killed March 9, 2015 by DeKalb County Georgia police after police said he refused an order to stop. The killing is under investigation.
Four. Not Going to Say. On March 6, 2015 Aurora Colorado police shot and killed unarmed Naeschylus Vinzant while taking him into custody. For the last three months, while the investigation into the killing continues, the police have refused to say what compelled the officer to shoot Vinzant.
Five. Five Police Felt Threatened by One Unarmed Homeless Man. March 1, 2015 Los Angeles police shot and killed an unarmed homeless man Charly Leundeu Keunang after five officers went to his tent and struggled with him. One unarmed homeless man threatened five armed LAPD officers? Los Angeles police have killed about one person a week since 2000. An investigation is ongoing.
Six. My Taser Didn't Work. On February 23, 2015, an unarmed man, Daniel Elrod, was shot twice in the back and once in the shoulder and killed by Omaha Nebraska police after he tried to climb a tree and jump a fence to escape police who suspected him of robbery. Police said their Taser did not work, he ignored their demands to get down on the ground, he did not show his hands, and they felt threatened. Video was not made available and the officer later resigned. This was the second person this officer killed. No criminal charges were filed.
Seven. Armed with a Broom. Lavall Hall's mother called the police in Miami Gardens February 15, 2015 and asked for help for her son who was mentally ill. Lavall Hall, five foot four inches tall, walked outside with a broom and was later shot and killed by police who said he failed to comply with instructions and engaged them with an object. The killing is still under investigation.
Eight. Throwing Rocks. On February 10, 2015 an unarmed man, Antonio Zambrano-Montes, was fired at 17 times and killed by police in Kennewick, Washington. A video of his killing has been viewed more than 2 million times. Officers said he had been throwing rocks at cars, ran away and then turned around.
Nine. Taser Worked but He Didn't Stop Moving. On February 2, 2015, a Hummelstown Pennsylvania police officer shot unarmed David Kassick in the back with a Taser and when Kassick went to the ground on his stomach, then shot him twice with her gun in the back, killing him. The officer said Kassick, who was running away from a traffic stop, was told to show his hands and not move but continued to try to remove the Taser prongs from his back and the officer thought he was reaching for a gun. The officer has been charged with homicide.
Ten. Car going 11 Miles an Hour was going to Kill Me. Denver police fired 8 times at unarmed Jessica Hernandez, 17, who was killed January 16 after being hit by four bullets. The police said she drove too close to them when she was trying to get away and may have tried to run them down as she tried to drive away so they shot into the windshield and driver's windows. The police said the car may have reached 11 miles per hour in the 16 feet it traveled before hitting a fence. The police were not charged.
Eleven. Armed with a Spoon. Dennis Grigsby, an unarmed mentally ill man holding a soup spoon, was shot in the chest and killed in a neighbor's garage by Texarkana Police December 15, 2015. The killing is under investigation.
Twelve. Armed with Prescription Bottle. Rumain Brisbon, a 34 year old unarmed man, was shot twice and killed by police in Phoenix on December 2, 2014, after he ran away, was caught and was in a struggle with the officer who mistook a prescription pill bottle in Brisbon's pocket for a gun. The police officer was not charged.
Thirteen. It Was an Accident. On November 20, 2014, a New York City police officer fired into a stairwell and killed unarmed Akai Gurley. The officer, who was charged with manslaughter, is expected to say he accidently fired his gun.
Fourteen. Don't Mention It. On November 12, 2014, an unarmed handcuffed inmate was shot multiple times in the head, neck, chest and arms by officers while fighting with another handcuffed inmate in the High Desert State Prison in Carson City Nevada. His family was not told and did not know he had been shot until three days later when they claimed his body at a mortuary.
Fifteen. Armed with Toy Gun. John Crawford was unarmed in a Walmart store in Beavercreek Ohio on August 4, 2014, when he picked up an unloaded BB gun. When officers arrived they say they ordered him to put down the gun and started shooting, hitting him at least twice and killing Mr. Crawford. In a widely viewed video Mr. Crawford can be seeing dropping the BB gun, running away and being shot while unarmed. Likewise, Cleveland police shot and killed an unarmed 12 year old boy, Tamir Rice, who was playing with a toy pellet gun on November 22, 2014. Police said they shouted verbal commands from inside their vehicle in the two seconds before they shot him twice. In both these cases, the police story of shouting warnings and orders looks quite iffy at best.
These are the responses of police authorities who face less than one chance in a hundred of being charged when they kill people, even unarmed people. These outrages demand massive change in the way lethal force is used, reported, justified and prosecuted.

The biggest terror threat in America isn't Islamic extremists
When Dylann Roof allegedly shot and killed nine African-American parishioners at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina, it was considered a hate crime and a massacre.But many people would also consider Roof's alleged actions a terrorist attack, one of 19 carried out by non-Muslim extremists on American soil in the post-9/11 era, according to data by New America, a Washington Research Center, as reported by The New York Times.
By comparison, jihadists have carried out seven such attacks over that same time span. The study found that non-Muslim extremists are responsible for 48 American deaths — 22 more than jihadists, who have perpetrated 26, since September 11, 2001. These numbers suggest that racial hatred and government hostility inspire more terrorist attacks than religious fanaticism, typically considered a driving force of the "War on Terror."
The study, however, omits several mass shootings, including the ones in Newtown, Connecticut and Aurora, Colorado, because in both cases no ideological motive could be discerned.
“There’s an acceptance now of the idea that the threat from jihadi terrorism in the United States has been overblown,” John G. Horgan, who studies terrorism at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, told The Times. “And there’s a belief that the threat of right-wing, anti-government violence has been underestimated.”
Jon Stewart, host of the "Daily Show" on Comedy Central, suggests Americans have formed a biased definition of terrorism.
"What blows my mind is the disparity of response between when we think people that are foreign are going to kill us and us killing ourselves," Stewart said on his show following the Charleston shooting.
"We invaded two countries and spent trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives ... all to keep Americans safe," Stewart said, referencing the War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11. "But [in Charleston] we're going to keep pretending like 'I don't get what happened this one guy lost his mind'."
Others say we don't see Roof, and those who have committed similar acts, as terrorists because to some degree, they're more relatable to Americans than, say, Islamic extremists."Most Americans are white, and we see white people like ourselves. When I see Dylann Roof, I remember being a white male his age, barely out of my teenage years and experiencing weird anger in a difficult time," Philip Bump wrote for the Washington Post. "We can identify much more easily with who he is."
While many people have their own opinions of what constitutes terrorism, it's clear that in America today, extremist violence isn't solely an issue of religion.

Astronaut's Video Of Northern Lights From Space Is Absolutely Stunning
Talk about a light show!
Scott Kelly, a NASA astronaut now in the midst of a one-year mission aboard the International Space Station, has recorded an amazing video of the Northern Lights (above).
Also known as the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights are usually visible only near the Earth's North Pole. But the lights Kelly captured on video Monday night extend all the way down to the American South--and were particularly bright. That's because the solar storm that triggered the lights was unusually intense, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration classifying it as "severe."
But don't worry. Although solar storms have been known to disrupt radio signals, there have been no reports of outages in connection with this storm.
Just incredible night skies.
