Perry Fewell, New DC
Just found out on ESPN. Former Buffalo Bills DC and interim HC Perry Fewell has been made the new Giants DC. Thought you guys would be interested.
Well, I hope he doesn't expect to run the same D as Buffalo
Edit: article http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4825410
I don't like this. Doesn't he only run a Cover 2 base defense?
I don't think he is that bad of a pick up he will have alot better talent to work with the G-Men.
I'm furious right now. Livid. Every word for pissed off you can think of.
This is terrible. I hate Cover 2. I despise Cover 2. This was a horrible hire. It doesn't fit our team at all. If this doesn't work, Coughlin should get fired next year.
I don't even want to talk about defense until after next year is over. I'm disgusted right now. I just hope our offense can carry us. I'm sick to my stomach right now.
Our 2 best corners are both physical man to man guys and yet we hire Fewell. He better change his ways.
He won't. They never do. As a coordinator, you can't just change your ways, you do what you like doing and thats that.
We've been down this road with Sheridan. You can't ask a guy to run another guy's system. They're gonna run what they like. Bc thats what they know.
Our defense is going to suck next year.
Well your DBs should have a lot of picks now. And you will be drafting 8 DBs a year now too.
Why do we insist on hiring guys that go against our personnel? Makes 0 sense.
Guys you are overreacting to the Cover 2 thing.
We are not running the scheme that Tampa or Indy runs. There will be elements of that scheme implemented but if you watch what we did under Spags, we ran some cover 2 every week.
Either way I'm taking the wait and see approach. Like Jughead said, he's not a Tampa 2 guy by any means.
I'm curious to know his philosophy on blitzing and his pressure schemes.
Of course I'm going to give him a chance but on first glance I don't like it. Isn't he a booth guy also which as we know our players have a problem with?
I won't believe it until I see the product on the field. We've all heard Sheridan say this and that, and when the time came to step up to the plate, did something different.
So even when Fewell says all the right things at his press conference, I won't care. I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm not expecting to be pleased, thats all I know right now.
I know a lot of Giants fans were thinking pie in the sky with Fox but that was never happening and I don't really see that many options for us at DC. Especially if we exclude guys who have no experience at DC.
I just want to hear his philosophy and what he intends to do with our defense before I start freaking out about it. He might have some interesting new twists with our personnel or something.
What about his crappy run defenses? All personnel or more scheme #10?
I just don't trust it right now.
this article makes me feel a lot better about the hire, but i'm still a little unsure about it
If what that article says is true, then this is a great hire. But if its just fluff to hype up a guy, then its not.
Run defense is analyzed to a point where it makes me sick sometimes. It is one of the more simple elements to the game. It centers around gap control and ability to tackle on initial contact. So with that said, I am under the impression that their run defense issues falls on the players more than the scheme. Am I 100% right? No way to answer that. But tackling is such an overlooked element to the game in the fans eyes and it is sickening. Watch the Vikings and Jets this weekend and you will see what I mean.
Honestly...forget the articles. Forget the interview with the media that is coming up. Forget the mini-camp and training camp reports.
You will not be able to evaluate the scheme until next fall. End of discussion.
I mean the Bills were terrific against the pass, plus they create a ton of turnovers and give up very few big plays. All good things in my book, just based off looking over the team defense statistics and having seen the Bills play about 3 games this year. Not enough to get a feel but I felt like they were always swarming around the ball.
Our biggest problem is we need to plug in some good DT's or it won't matter who we get as DC, we'll still be ran over all game.
Also it mentioned he isn't a calm/passive person which is a great thing as well. Plus just based off those quotes, the players all seemed to love him and he really has done some nice things with some of the safeties he's worked with. Hopefully he could do that with Kenny Phillips and maybe another safety we bring in.

Another Side of Seoul: Hongdae's Offbeat Cafes
When people think of Hongdae, the popular area near Hongik University, they think of musicians playing in the park, the art scene, night life and unique fashion trends. Being home to many college students and young professionals, cafes have sprung up to provide a place to study, meet up with friends, go on a dates or to even try something new. The standard variety cafes may be the most noticeable at first, but a little exploring in the popular area will uncover many unique and offbeat cafes. We invite you to read on to learn more about some very interesting cafes in the Hongdae area.
The Ggum Cali Café (더꿈캘리 카페)
Calligraphy, a dated manner of writing scripts artistically, and Hongdae, one of the top nightlife destinations for young people in Seoul, would, at first glance, seem to be at odds. Calligraphy, though, is found all around us— in advertisements and on book covers and greeting cards. This is why the owner of Ggum Cali Café decided to open this unique cafe. He wanted to share the formative aesthetic of calligraphy in an everyday setting because he thought people tend to think calligraphy is something only for experts and wanted to give everyone a chance to enjoy calligraphy in a relaxing environment. This small hope of his is reflected in the café name, The Gggum ('dream' in Korean) Cali (short for calligraphy) Café.
The cafe hosts an exhibition of calligraphy artwork that changes every two weeks and offers programs like making your own mug, fan and wine label with your own calligraphy and even a formal calligraphy class. The cafe also sells a variety of calligraphy works and engraving pieces available in many forms including jewelry, cell phone accessories, and cups. Making for a perfect gift, each item has an inspiring and cheerful phrase written in an expressive and skillful. We highly recommend you check this cafe out and enjoy one of the many programs they offer or simply to relax amongst the time-honored art of calligraphy.

a;t fox (에이티 폭스)
Located just off the main street of the Hongdae area, 'a;t fox' is probably one of a few cafes where you can enjoy a great afternoon tea, dessert, and trendy cosmetics all in one spot. The 'a;t' in a;t fox stands for afternoon tea, and the café gives you the feeling of being invited over to a posh afternoon tea party. The tea is served in antique teapots on ornate dessert trays. Displayed on the walls next to the cozy tables are British style-tea sets and colorful bottles filled homemade tea and syrups.
However, what makes this café stand out is its beautiful powder room fully equipped to allow women to put on make-up and test the cosmetics displayed on the table. The cosmetics are made by the same company as the café, and made with ingredients used to make tea such as jasoyup (perilla frutescens) and tangerine peels, which are known to help with skin problems. Visitors are welcomed to test the shop's popular cosmetics such as black tea mist, moisturizing cream in a cupcake-like container, and jasoyup BB cream. The friendly and knowledgeable staff will assist you while giving you some useful make-up tips. Though having the famous 'The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince' as a neighbor helps, the unique concept and quality products at 'a;t fox' is attracting international and local visitors.

When you first walk in to Mustoy Cafe, you might not even think it a cafe at all. It has a feel of an art studio, the walls covered in past works, patrons diligently managing their crafts and occasionally looking up to check on their partner's creation. The owner of the café, a former TV commercial director, wanted a café that stood out in the artist heavy community of Hongdae.
The café offers the chance to decorate two main characters, the boy 'Muskky' (Mustoy + lucky) and the girl "Musppy" (Mustoy + happy) — both were designed by the same artist who created the popular children's cartoon character Pororo. Muskky and Musppy come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors to choose from and they even have a salt and pepper shaker model. They also have clothes and other themed accessories you can purchase to add a bit more style to your character.
With the purchase of a character comes a free drink and Mustoy Café provides all the essentials you need to design the perfect Mustoy. Mustoy Café is a great place to take a date or spend the day expressing your inner artist.

TOMS Cat Café (톰스캣)
One of the most popular cat cafes in Korea, Toms Cat Café is home to 34 different cats and was opened so the owner could share his love of cats with everyone. Upon entering, guests are asked to change into slippers and clean their hands before playing with the cats. Then you are asked to review the rules, written in English and Korean. Once you have ordered your drink from their relatively extensive menu, you are free to play with the cats for as long as you like. You can even purchase food to have the cats eat out of the palm of your hand!
The interior looks like one big playground for the cats. Cat beds and toys are strewn across the floor. Chairs and tables line the back and windowed walls, while the middle area is slightly open and is the best place for customers to meet and play with the cats.
For your convenience, the café offers a bag to put any articles you want protected from cat hair, and when you leave, they have lint rollers to remove any unwanted hair from your clothes. Even if you are unfamiliar with cats, this café is still a great place to visit as the environment is just as relaxed as the cats.

Hello Kitty Café (헬로키티 카페)
If you happen to see this café with its bright pink exterior decorated with a big bow, you will probably not be able to resist stopping by. Hello Kitty Café is without a doubt one of the most beloved cafés in the Hongdae area. Dedicated to the cutest kitty in the world, the cafe is always packed with fans and those who could not resist the cute décor. Once you step inside the café, you will be overwhelmed by pink and the famous Hello Kitty icon. The walls have big Hello Kitty shaped openings, and at the counter there are a variety of Kitty-shaped desserts on display. Some of the most popular items at the café are the Kitty mousse cake, waffles, and café latte sprinkled with cocoa powder in the shape of Hello Kitty. The café also sells a variety of Hello Kitty memorabilia including Hello Kitty wearing a Hanbok (Korean traditional clothes).
There are many tables in the spacious second floor. The pink couch donned with the Hello Kitty Bow makes for a great place to take a photo. The pink walls and Hello Kitty decorations continue on the second floor and even extend to the bathroom. The majority of visitors are mostly girls from all over the world that come to enjoy this adorable café where there is never too much of Hello Kitty!

Thanks Nature Café (양카페)
Thanks Nature Café, also known as the Sheep Café, is located close to the main gate to Hongik University's campus. The uniqueness of this cafe is not hard to notice as it is the only cafe in Hongdae where one can enjoy a cup of coffee in the company of sheep. Friendly and approachable, the sheep will let you feed them, making for a great photo opportunity. Its popularity of late is due to the café being featured in a variety of foreign publications in Japan and China and its recent feature on the hit TV show "We Got Married."
The owner of the café said he wanted sheep so that his café would stand out. Though the sheep help, they return to their Gangwon-do farm for the summer, meaning Thanks Nature Café would need something to ensure that customers return. And what keeps customers returning is the delicious food and coffee. Crafted with delicacy and using fresh ingredients, the food is quite good. The coffee, though, is better. Thanks Nature Cafe uses coffee beans exclusively from Terrarosa, perhaps the most famous café in Korea, known for choosing the highest quality of imported coffee beans. The cafe also offers a variety of preparation methods including hand drip and Dutch style. The simple decor, friendly staff and of course the sheep help make Thanks Nature Cafe stand out as a truly unique and enjoyable cafe.

Scoliosis 2010, 5:9 doi:10.1186/1748-7161-5-9Published: 30 May 2010
Thoracic hyperkyphosis is a frequent problem and can impact greatly on patient's quality of life during adolescence. This condition can be idiopathic or secondary to Scheuermann disease, a disease disturbing vertebral growth. To date, there is no sound scientific data available on the management of this condition. Some studies discuss the effects of bracing, however no guidelines, protocols or indication's of treatment for this condition were found. The aim of this paper was to develop and verify the consensus on managing thoracic hyperkyphosis patients treated with braces and/or physiotherapy.
The Delphi process was utilised in four steps gradually modified according to the results of a set of recommendations: we involved the SOSORT Board twice, then all SOSORT members twice, with a Pre-Meeting Questionnaire (PMQ), and during a Consensus Session at the SOSORT Lyon Meeting with a Meeting Questionnaire (MQ).
There was an unanimous agreement on the general efficacy of bracing and physiotherapy for this condition. Most experts suggested the use of 4-5 point bracing systems, however there was some controversy with regards to physiotherapeutic aims and modalities.
The SOSORT panel of experts suggest the use of rigid braces and physiotherapy to correct thoracic hyperkyphosis during adolescence. The evaluation of specific braces and physiotherapy techniques has been recommended.

BlizzPlanet points out, quite logically, that Blizzard probably wasn't too thrilled with that. Even if they had planned to do it in Las Vegas, that kind of public relations misstep is a deal breaker. Besides, Eldorian from BlizzPlanet applies simple, sound logic to his sleuthing work and explains that examining the Anaheim Convention Center's Calendar of Events reveals an odd, blank date on the weekend of August 20-21, yet almost all the weekends of the venue are already booked. With Blizzard being the secretive bunch that they are, he figures those blank dates actually correspond with this year's BlizzCon event. It's a pretty cool theory. Read the rest of their predictions as well as a few of our own guesses after the jump.
Now that BlizzPlanet has the date figured out (don't book your hotels just yet, though!), they even go so far as to predict an announcement as early as next month. They say that since last year's August event was announced in February, it makes as much sense to announce the event early enough for folks to make their plans, too. They say we should also expect what worked for BlizzCon last year to be in effect this year, too, such as the queue system for purchasing tickets, DirectTV and a bundled free gift, and probably better loot bags this time around.
It's too early to tell at this point, but we can probably speculate on what else might be coming with BlizzCon this year. By that time, Cataclysm should be out because it's hard for me to imagine Icecrown Citadel keeping players occupied -- gated content notwithstanding -- until then. That said, Blizzard has mentioned that Patch 3.3 isn't likely to be the last content patch before the next expansion, so we'll see what happens. BlizzPlanet thinks the game might be in closed beta by then, but I personally hope Blizzard's timelines move a little faster than that.
We concur that BlizzCon 2010 seems like the perfect event to announce a new game. Diablo III is in the oven, StarCraft 2 is slated to be out this year, and Cataclysm has already been revealed. There needs to be something really, really big during BlizzCon, and there's nothing bigger than a brand new game, and signs point to an entirely new property from the guys in Irvine. Announcing the new game -- a "next-gen MMO" that Blizzard is known to be working on -- would be the biggest thing. It's kind of hard to imagine a bigger game announcement from any developer this year.
Since it's way too early to play BlizzCon bingo, why don't we dwell a bit on that new property (we feel really good about Blizzard revealing more about it this year)? It won't be fantasy, I think. With Warcraft and Diablo already treading the fantasy waters, we can probably rule out that genre. StarCraft is sci-fi, but there's still some room to play there. Maybe a grittier, cyber-punk style world that's a darker take on sci-fi the way Diablo's fantasy is to Warcraft? We won't know until August.
Will Jay Mohr reprise his hosting gig? No serious reason to think otherwise. Blizzard seems to love him, and at least he actually talked like he knows something about WoW during the last BlizzCon. Will Ozzy return as the big finale? Not so sure about that one. Blizzard likes to keep upping the ante, so an even bigger act might be in the cards for this year. Although it's definitely too early to make any assumptions about BlizzCon 2010 (those guys from Irvine are pretty good at throwing a curve ball or two), it's never too early to whet our appetites for everything Blizzard this year.

Malpractice by Physical Therapists: Descriptive Analysis of Reports in the National Practitioner Data Bank Public Use Data File, 1991-2004
Sandstrom, Robert, Journal of Allied Health
MEDICAL ERROR and patient safety have gained increased attention from the public with recent reports of higher than anticipated error rates in health care settings. The Harvard Medical Practice Study found that 3.7% of all hospital admissions result in iatrogenic patient injury, of which 27% of these events result from provider negligence.1 Similar results (2.9% adverse events) were found in a study of hospitals in Utah and Colorado, with negligent causation found in 27% (Colorado) to 33% (Utah) of the cases.2 The mortality rate from medical error in the United States has been estimated at 98,000 deaths/year.3
Efforts to reduce medical error have traditionally relied on identification and punishment of "bad actors" through civil litigation or professional discipline. Malpractice claims, judgments, and settlements are one indicator of the incidence of provider responsibility for medical error. Malpractice in physical therapy has not been studied systematically. Most reports have been anecdotal. A recent report identified a large ($500,000) arbitration agreement for improper use of physical therapy.4 Scott noted that "the number of reported and non-reported physical therapy malpractice cases remains relatively small" but was unable to cite the actual size of the problem.5 Schunk and Thut outlined several areas for increasing malpractice risk for therapists in more autonomous practice models, including responsibility to refer, supervision, and documentation.6 Similarly, Kolber and Lucado have recently emphasized the importance of good patient care documentation to decrease risk exposure to potential physical therapist malpractice.7 An increased emphasis on professionalism is being discussed as the profession recognizes its changing responsibilities as it moves to a more autonomous practice model.8
The changing legal relationship of physical therapists to physicians in states that allow some form of direct public access to physical therapy is controversial. In part, this controversy relates to the potential for medical error, patient harm, and malpractice by physical therapists making inappropriate clinical decisions, especially medical diagnoses. The "sample talking points" of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons on the issue of direct access to physical therapy are illustrative.
Physical therapists claim that direct access will not expand their scope of practice since they may not make medical diagnoses. …

Got statin? Soon, most of us will
We love prescription drugs in America.How deep is the love? Consider this: New heart disease prevention guidelines announced this week could double – yes, double — the number of people who take statins, a class of drugs that lower cholesterol.
By some estimates, roughly 33 million people soon could be popping statins. Oh yeah, I predict some very happy drug companies.
The new guidelines by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology became big news not just because heart disease is our No. 1 killer, but because they suddenly quash the cholesterol reading we've grown to know and hate.
Remember when doctors warned to keep an eye on the LDL cholesterol, the bad boy of the two types of the artery-clogging wax? The associations representing cardiologists and other health experts now say that heart attacks and strokes are not about cholesterol anymore. Instead, they want doctors to use a whole new set of criteria to decide who benefits more from statins, which block the liver's production of cholesterol. Could the death of health fairs where we get free cholesterol and blood pressure readings be on the horizon?
The overhaul is anything but simple. Doctors (at least those who follow the guidelines) will use four specific risk factors to decide if people need to be treated with medication. This includes whether a person has heart disease, diabetes, an LDL cholesterol level higher than 190 and whether your 10-year risk of a heart attack is greater than 7.5 percent. If it sounds complicated, it's because it is.
"I don't think this is something a patient can do on their own," Dr. Indu Poornima, director of Allegheny General Hospital's Women's Heart Center, told me.
The good news is the guidelines emphasize treating the sickest people, rather than those with just a high cholesterol reading. The bad news is that when it's all said and done, one-third of American adults could be taking statins. That would be 44 percent of men and 22 percent of women.
It all sounds like a big conspiracy by drug companies to make money until you realize this could only mean one thing: A lot of people out there are teetering on the verge of a heart attack or stroke.
All you need to confirm that is to walk through a mall parking lot, where you'll see plenty of smokers and overweight people – those at highest risk of heart disease. With such obvious evidence, why such heavy dependence on drugs instead of ways to fight obesity and smoking?
As Poornima said: "Just because you take a cholesterol pill, that's not going to prevent a heart attack or stroke."
Dr. Daniel Rubin of Jefferson Regional Medical Center in Jefferson Hills told me people should focus on exercise, eating right and smoking cessation. He believes statins are effective when reasonably used, but agreed there's been too much emphasis on that pesky cholesterol reading. Some doctors, he said, prescribe too many drugs just to get the number at low levels.
"Lower is better but where did people get specific numbers from? It's very nebulous," he said.
Because the guidelines are such a marked departure from what we're used to, Rubin suggested the medical community will need time to sort them out. True.
In the meantime, it's wise for people to know their risk of heart disease. And it's even smarter to be ever mindful that it can kill us.

Rotunda in Toronto Star: Entrancing the Jury
Attorneys' use of body language, facial expressions and vocal timbre are tactics that have been used to try to influence juries for decades according to legal ethics expert Professor Ronald Rotunda, who commented on these types of legal maneuvers in a Toronto Star news article looking at lawyers' behavior in the current U. S. federal court trial of Conrad Black for fraud.
Pulling out all the smirks at Black trial; Lawyers woo jury with well-honed body language, Toronto Star, April 4, 2007. By Rick Westhead.
"Lawyers for decades have experimented with using body mannerisms, postures or facial expressions to try to influence jurors, says Ronald Rotunda, a George Mason University law professor who specializes in legal ethics issues.
"'Whether it's smiling or snickering, everybody's looking for a way to try and convince the jury that they're right,' Rotunda says. 'The danger is that you don't want to appear forced or silly or inappropriate.'
"A U.S. federal prosecutor involved in Timothy McVeigh's bombing trial in Oklahoma City was admonished by a judge when he became choked up as he questioned a witness.
"Some lawyers have even resorted to parlour tricks.
"When smoking was permitted in some courtrooms, famed U.S. lawyer Clarence Darrow purportedly would slip a paper clip into the end of his cigar, Rotunda says.
"As his rivals tried to make key points to the jury, Darrow would make a point of showing the stogie with its physics-defying buildup of ashes.
"'You want to entrance the jury and if it distracts the other lawyers, all the better,' Rotunda says."

Mozilla to begin accepting developer submissions at MWC
updated 04:25 pm EST, Wed February 22, 2012
Mozilla Marketplace to use HTML5, custom API apps
Mozilla revealed on Wednesday that it will begin accepting web app submissions at MWC next week. The web apps will be based on HTML5 and some Mozilla-proposed APIs, and work in both the company's Firefox browser as well as platforms that support HTML5. Mozilla promises to give developers easy development, direct user feedback, and allow for flexible billing
The organization is also touting a "write once, deploy everywhere" nature that will reduce costs of the initial creation, maintenance, and various versions of each app.
The Mozilla Web Apps platform will include the Mozilla Marketplace, where apps will be system- and device-independent. They will also use open web technologies such as HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. The new Mozilla APIs will be submitted to the W3C for standardization. Finally, apps will be tied to the user and not a device or platform thanks to a new identity system.
The Mozilla Marketplace will go live for end users later this year and offer games, media, music, productivity apps, and more. Depending on exactly when it launches, it will be about a year behind Google's Chrome Web Store.
