A recent Fifth Circuit holding in Memorial Hermann has caught the attention of lawyers in our space, with some wondering if the tax law rules on how 501(c)(4)s operate may change. But what did the court really say, and how should 501(c)(4) advocacy organizations react? On this special holiday edition of the pod, we are joined by Larry Gold of Trister Ross Schadler and Gold to understand what this case says and what it means for (c)(4)s in 2025 and beyond.  Attorneys for this episode  Tim Mooney  Susan Finkle Sourlis  Larry Gold, Trister Ross Schadler and Gold   Show notes  What is Memorial Hermann?  Very basics of the case  Basics of the holding  Where does this court's ruling apply?  501(c)(4) organizations must exclusively operate for the social welfare,  how is that interpreted to mean primarily, and the limit on items that do not as social welfare as secondary activity. We frequently talk about one of those secondary activities a lot – partisan political work. But this case focuses on another thing – can you explain why commercial activity does not promote social welfare?   The concern raised by some is the court's move to a smaller insubstantial standard for commercial activity may also apply to political activity, limiting the amount advocacy groups can engage in. How does the law treat commercial activity and political activity differently, and does that distinction matter here for other courts that may be addressing this?  Do (c)(4)s in the Fifth Circuit that engage in partisan political advocacy need to change what they're doing or how much they're doing? What about (c)(4)s outside of the Fifth Circuit?  There's another layer to all of this with (c)(4)s that have filed Form 1024s accepted by the IRS – can you explain what that is and why filing a 1024 now may be a good idea for some (c)(4)s that haven't yet?  What's happening next with this case?  What's your take on how various media outlets have presented this case – do you think they've helped or muddied the waters?  On a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is a yawn and 10 is metaphysical crisis, where are we now with Memorial Hermann for (c)(4)s?     Resources - Tim  The Rules of the Game

Tune in for today's industry updates.

On this episode, we are joined by Amy Lindsey, a physical therapist and Certified Hand Therapist who has lived the experience of being a patient in a hand therapy clinic. When she was a teenager, Amy was involved in an accident that left her with significant injuries to both of her hands. She spent extensive time working to regain functional use of her upper extremities and was inspired by her therapists to become a physical therapist and Certified Hand Therapist.Guest bio: Amy Lindsey, PT, CHT is a physical therapist and Certified Hand Therapist who works closely with patients with various upper extremity orthopedic injuries. She realized her dream of becoming a therapist in 1993 after being in a severe MVA and losing the use of both hands. Through a year of physical therapy and 13+ orthopedic and cosmetic surgeries to regain use of her hands, she developed a great understanding and empathy for the people who have gone through a traumatic injury. Amy received a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science in 1999 and Masters of Physical Therapy in 2001 from Saint Louis University and has been working as a physical therapist specializing in the treatment of upper extremity injuries. She became a Certified Hand Therapist in 2007 and truly became a hand therapist with “first hand” experience. She decided to broaden her scope of practice and return to treatment of lower extremity injuries in 2015 after moving to Houston, TX while growing the hand therapy program in the Northeast Region for Memorial Hermann. Amy currently lives in Kingwood, TX and is a wife to husband of 23 years and mother to her 2 boys, ages 21 & 18. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, lifting weights, walking/hiking, various outdoor activities and spending time with her family.

Turf Toe is ever-changing. Dr. Paul Shupe and Joseph Eberhardt discuss some of the facts and history of turf toe at the Memorial Hermann sports medicine update. What can I do to benefit my athlete since turf is here to stay? Making sure the field is well maintained, and proper personal protective equipment is significantly important. A lot of football players like to wear narrow cleats which can contribute to lower extremity injuries based on the cleat pattern, length, and width of the shoe. The time of day we practice is important as well.  Is there any data or research done about laces and appropriately tying the shoe with appropriate arch support? Great question, I'd have to look into that. I'm sure there are studies - I didn't delve into that. These are very important questions, I think that core strengthening is a very pertinent point as well.  You spoke about an increase in PCL injuries. From my education, the mechanism of injury for PCL is that dashboard injury, coming from direct force on the anterior tibia. Is there any research, or from your background and knowledge, why is it that we're seeing more prominence from that mechanism on that turf? When it's not a dashboard injury, the common mechanism is that you onto your knee bent at 90 degrees, your toe has interacted and your cleat is stuck in the turf so it's not giving away. Your foot is in this dorsiflexed position and you land on that knee with all of the force going back through, as opposed to if the shoe gives out allowing you to land on less of a 90-degree angle.  Is there any correlation to gastrocnemius weakness regarding those Turf Toe injuries? I think that's a valid argument, I don't have enough science or background to say but I do think that would be an interesting thing to study.  We talked about the history of turf in your presentation, would you say we've moved in a safer direction? Are we moving to a safer surface? I think we are, I think we're moving to a safer surface for our lower-level athletes. I think our higher-level athletes have different muscle builds and different muscle types that may lead to some of those injury at a higher level. I do think the technology that's going into it is moving towards a safer playing surface, I don't think there's much we can do about the heat and some of the other things, and they are looking into that. I think we are moving there, the important thing here is that turf isn't going away, I don't think that we'll ever go back to grass. With technology moving forward, I do think it's becoming safer. I don't think it'll ever be 100% safe but with education, and proper maintenance, I think we can make it as safe as we can.  You mentioned the coconut or the cork, those things are natural materials that would rot, and putting turf in is a lengthy and expensive process. How does it make sense for a high school field to put something that might rot underneath there? So part of it is just the turnover of it, so it's got to be properly maintained. So when we use the proper equipment and the proper rakes just to shift it around that's a valid question, especially in a wet and humid environment like it is here. It's not being used a ton yet, and I think that's yet to come. We may determine years from now that it's a bad idea. Rice uses wood instead of rubber on their field, I found that interesting when we played there last year.  Did you notice any difference? Thinking back, I think your point about feet being sore on these fields; is a major problem. Your feet hurt at the end of the day on the rubber. There's less of that impact. We did have in our Rice game, but I don't think it makes a difference in injury, we had an ankle fracture that game, we had a significant hamstring rupture, and a couple of other things so I don't think it makes a difference as far as the interaction of the cleat but it may make it as far as the softness.

Running Analysis is not just for the elite runner. Kimberly Gandler works with runners in all stages of the sport to help improve efficiency and reduce injury. Doctor Mark Knoblauch from the University of Houston Master's of Athletic Training program follows up on her presentation at the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update. Running Analysis - who is it for? If you are going to be a runner I would highly recommend getting a gait analysis Shoes are important and going to a run-specific store where educated people can help you. Fleet feet in Houston, Run on in Downtown They can do that at Memorial Hermann on a cash pay basis. Maximal vs Minimal vs Traditional shoes That focuses more on cushion than support. Think about the area you are running.  Your body can not handle constant banging on concrete. Hoka and Merrel have a pretty low heel-to-toe drop But if you switch to an ultra runner shoe then you need to retrain your body as if you are doing a couch to 5k. How do you balance your style of running and the shoe you need Change your style before changing your shoes. YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THE SHOES ARE MAGIC If it is not broken do not fix it. Look at the situation.  Do not mess up the time of an elite runner Weight training can be the bridge to adjusting the form and help prevent injuries. Late-onset runners - what are you seeing? Those who pick it up later tend to have better form because they go with what feels right rather than trying to meet the expectations of some coach. You do not have to go run if you hate it, there are plenty of other exercises. Marathoners Most people who sign up for a marathon to lose weight end up using it as a free pass How do you make it fun for them? If you do not like it then do not do it.  Find something you like and something you can maintain. I found a way to enjoy strengthening after having 3 kids.
