   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-4251
   Southern District of Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bowman, Author, with Wollman and Bright, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Social Security. ALJ did not err in weighting the
   opinions of the nurse practitioner and therapists as their opinions
   are not entitled to treating-source weight since they are not
   qualified as treating sources under the Social Security
   Administration's regulations; ALJ did not err in giving examining
   physician's report greater weight, as it was consistent with claimant's
   reports of her activities and limits and was supported by objective
   evidence; residual functional capacity findings were supported
   by the medical evidence; hypothetical posed to vocational expert was
   proper and included all impairments supported by the record.
