Twenty-seven percent of the 250 U.S. health care providers included in a recent survey said they experienced at least one security breach in the past year, with employee error being the primary cause.
The results of the "2012 HIMSS Analytics Report: Security of Patient Data," a biennial survey by Kroll Advisory Solutions, continued a trend in which health care data is increasingly being exposed. Past surveys found that 19 percent of respondents had experienced a breach in 2010, and 13 percent had in 2008.
The survey report said 79 percent of the breaches were the employee actions — the report concluded that human error is still the greatest threat to security — and that the mobility of patient data, resulting from new devices and technologies, was a major factor in patient data being exposed.
Twenty-two percent of respondents said breaches resulted from mobile devices — laptop PCs, handheld devices or portable hard drives — that were lost or stolen.
More than 50 percent of the breaches were identified as "unauthorized access to information," most often a patient's name and birthdate.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Good as His Word
Jacob manipulates justice
A legal obligation is not the same as a moral obligation. There is a formality in the law, especially the law of contracts, that sets it apart from the dictates of justice.
The patriarchal narratives in Genesis derive much of their dramatic force—not to mention instructive power—from this tension between legal and moral standards. That is one reason for their timeless appeal. The chasm between legal and moral responsibility has never been fully bridged. Legal forms, in the hands of the unscrupulous, can be an instrument of injustice, in ancient times as today.
In some Biblical contracts a solemn oath creates an irrevocable commitment, even though given under a misapprehension or obtained by deceit. Take Jacob, for example, the younger twin. By ancient custom his elder brother, Esau, was entitled to a double portion of inheritance from their father Isaac. Jacob attempts to correct this misfortune by a series of legal maneuvers.

It can be difficult to see how other number systems (such as binary and hexadecimal) work since they have a different amount of numerals than the ten numerals of decimal. But imagine that you are counting in these number systems using an old-fashioned analog odometer that has a different amount of numerals for each digit.
The following three odometers always show the same number, but they are written out differently in different number systems:

October 11 2013 06:48PM
The dressing room is supposed to be a safe place for players. That is said time and again between coaches and players. Things that are said or happen between those walls stay between those walls.
Joe Thornton is making headlines today, for a comment he directed in a humorous way at a scrum of reporters that were interviewing another player. He was not being interviewed himself. He said something sarcastic about scoring four goals in one game and what he would do to celebrate.
""I'd have my c*** out, if I scored four goals. I'd have my c*** out, stroking it."
There is no actual line or set rule between media and players of what is and isn't on the record. As a player there is just an understanding and trust that if someone asks you for an interview or if you can chat with a microphone in your face, that is when it's on the record.
Generally media members show the respect and know that chatter throughout the locker room amongst teammates and off the cuff jokes at reporters are not considered on the record.
The fact that there is no actual rule unfortunately leaves Joe with no one to blame but himself. He now has to live with the comment and every player in the league is now more aware that there are a few amongst the media they cannot trust.
The man who published those comments about Joe was Jason Botchford, who can be found on TSN discussing STUDS & DUDS each week.
He had this to say on TSN's That's Hockey! show when asked why he published the quote.
"Frankly, it was a pretty easy decision for me. It's nonsense that this is off the record. Joe interrupted, with insolence another scrum to tell a reporter, Farhan Lalji of TSN, to 'shut up.' Twenty reporters turned to Joe, he said his joke, and a joke that really made the whole Hertl discussion seem ridiculous. I think it was appropriate to go forward with publishing the quote, for a lot of reasons.
First and foremost, because I work for a publication that asks me to think, write and report with edge, and that's what I think I did today." "The problem here for Joe is that he said the comment to about 20 reporters. I looked around, about half of them had cameras. If any of them had reported it, and I had not, I would have been called to the carpet by my boss and asked why I didn't publish one of the quotes of the year."
Fair enough, in all likelihood he would have been called to the red carpet by his boss, but I only saw one of the 20 reporters actually publish the quotes. They most likely have bosses too and I'd bet every reporter around the league could do this daily if they chose to.
If Joe Thornton was not directly in a media scrum with 20 microphones in his face or in a one on one with someone, then I don't know why this is something that is being published.
If it was something that Jason Botchford thought was on the record, the polite thing to do would be to ask Joe if that was 'on the record' or a useable quote.
Everyone knows the obvious answer.
Ultimately the people that may be affected by this action are other media members trying cozy up and earn the trust of players so that in time they can snag a juicer quote. Over the years I considered many media members my friends and I assume vice versa.
Most hockey players are a difficult quote. The trickle down is potentially less comfort from the players and an even more watered down version of your token cliché from players to the fans.
Now some people will say "well just don't say anything while the media is there"
What usually happens for players is you come off the ice and many times you are getting undressed and the locker room is filled with media. Media members come in every morning and post game to get their quotes. Some stay to shoot the breeze and as players you develop great trust with these guys and can eventually talk about certain things that maybe aren't things you want made public.
It's not like players can hide, some media stick around for 20 minutes or more. Asking players to not speak across their own dressing room is not the solution.
Should Joe Thornton have been more careful with what he said? Sure.
Should Jason Botchford have been more thoughtful with what he published? Yes.
If it was up to me, the media wouldn't be allowed in the actual dressing room anymore. Players would be brought to a specific media room when requested by the media. Eliminate that invisible line for everyone.
For the respectful ones in the media and the fans it would be unfortunate but I could eventually see this happen.
Mr. Botchford, you sir are a DUD.
I thought Joe was bang on, when you score four goals you should get your cock out and stroke it. I'm sure gags did when he popped four on Chicago.
When Botch gets railroaded out of all the nhl rooms, I would like to invite him into our oldtime beer league room after one of our games to get about 50 quotes per nite that would be on the record! Feels like time to go and "score 4"
Articles like this have the best intentions, but just invite the rapey comments like the two above.
Although not overtly rapey, their whole premise is to say something nasty other people don't want to hear.
The grossness of The Nation.

And what gives you the right to dictate what "people" want to hear.
I didn't vote for you to be the spokesmen of the "people".
Sean Avery's "sloppy seconds" comment was widely reported and he was crucified but there was no discussion among the media if perhaps that was a poor attempt at humor and should have been omitted. You guys are as pathetic as the NHL OPS for you are willing to censor comments based on who made them.
I don't think bwar's comments are rapey. It's just evident that he likes thinking about cocks and stroking cocks. Maybe he's gay. Not that there's anything wrong with a man being gay or thinking about cocks and cocks being stroked by their owners hands.

Let me try and sum it up for everyone here. WHO THE EFFING HELL CARES?

OMG you missed the point. Sean Avery actually said "do you have a camera" and then made the comments after the reporter said sure!
At 48 seconds he asked for the camera!!! TOTALLY different.

Nothing wrong with that? Sounds pretty wrong to me.

I thought it was hilarious, and true. Are we forgetting that these are athletes in a dressing room? It's not like they have a cup of tea after the game.
Giggle, or don't. Then move on.
As a former sports reporter myself, I most likely would have asked Thornton a bit later if I could run with the quote before doing so. Brian is absolutely right. Many reporters spend years building relationships with players and most players worked with knew that unless I had a microphone in your face, it was off the record...pure and simple. Maybe it was because I worked primarily with junior players but I was always especially careful not to run anything that could be considered off the record or do anything to break the trust that I spent a long time building. And because of that, I never had a problem talking with players as they knew I wasn't going to throw them under the bus just to publish a juicy quote.
October 12 2013, 09:28AM
Off topic, but the Jets have lost three straight. Where are all the Winnipeg fans that were here stirring up crap a couple weeks ago?
In the old days, if reporters felt that a quote was newsworthy but they didn't want to disclose the identity of the source, wouldn't they just say "a teammate interrupted the scrum and said, (quote)"?
It got the substance out there without damaging the trust with the players.
What else would you expect from Botchford . Don't think Willes or Jones or Matheson would write that .
I think this is freaking hilarious! Why do so many people need to make such a big deal over this? The comment was off the cuff and it was funny! This kind of quote shows some personality from the player instead of the media groomed guys like Crosby that can't or won't let anybody know that they are actually humans with a sense of HUMOR. If you didn't find it funny, you didn't laugh. SIMPLE AS THAT. Move on and stop giving the idiot that decided to report it the attention he so obviously craves.
So has anyone asked Thorton if he wanted his comments published? (I haven't been following what his response has been.) Maybe he doesn't care? Although crude, it is kind of funny, and did shut down the people criticizing Hertle, which is maybe what a captain should do.
Botch is an idiot, he does not have much of a reputation in Vancouver. He asks stupid questions only to get reactions, he is a hack.
The fact we are talking about him makes him happy. So in a way he wins,
Brent - Joe didn't care, handled it like a class act actually, made botch look like an idiot
Joel k - Exactly he's the reporter equivalent of a troll and this is exactly what he wants
This is such a non-story it's ridiculous. If the "code" says that things that get yelled at groups of reporters holding recording equipment don't get reported, then the "code" is *obviously* wrong.
Botch did absolutely nothing wrong, and neither did Thornton. The only people who are doing anything wrong are those bitching and whining about unwritten rules and trying to justify how those rules mean people shouldn't be allowed to do their job.
Jason Bitchford just screwed himself........I wonder how many hockey players are going to ttrust this loser now.
Imagine Eakins sitting up with the press like he does at each practice..........just how long would he do that if those same reporters were violating that trust by reporting everything he said?
Bitchford is callously promoting himself by hiding behind the pathetic argument that his boss would be pissed if he passed up this story.
With Botchford the issue is never the issue. The issue is always ratings.
Botchford is a troll.
There's lots of reporters that are morons,and lack common sence.
The comments by Jumbo should not have been printed for sure, but his statement is bang on (no pun intended) and pretty funny IMO. The guy was frusrtrated with some questions being asked and did what any good leader does, and sticks up for his team mates. Good on him...
Sometimes I like to "score 4" right before I go to bed.
And by reprinting the quote you are also contributing to this regardless of your opinion.... media... they just dont get it

For their part Munster believe that if they can eradicate the mistakes that have plagued their play. If they can produce on the pitch the good work they're doing off it. And if they can bring the intensity that has made them such a phenomenal Heineken Cup side to Thomond Park Stadium this evening, the result will take care of itself.
One of their key go-to players is Alan Quinlan and the farmer's son from Limerick Junction will play a key role in containing and combating an area that could prove crucial this evening.
Quinlan will win his 70 Heineken Cup and 184th Munster cap tonight and he likens the challenge to the international arena.
"These games are close to test level standard and if you want to get results most aspects of your game have to be on the higher of the scale of being absolutely right. You're going to have mistakes and that's part of it but there's very little room for manouver against a side with the quality of Perpignan." he said.
"Yes it is a massive game." he continued. Obviously we're not looking beyond it. Our focus these past few days has been solely on this game. On putting in a performance. We know that (performance) has been patchy. We don't need reminding. They're a very strong physical side. They're the French champions and they've always been very competitive in this competition.
"But there's a good buzz in the group. We're looking forward to a tough challenge. A tough couple of weeks."
Coach Tony McGahan has rung the changes with Keith Earls partnering Lifeimi Mafi in preference to Springbok Jean de Villiers while Denis Hurley gets the nod over Ian Dowling on the left wing.
Up front Denis Fogarty continues in the absence of the injured Jerry Flannery with another Springbok Wian du Preez on his left and the old reliable John Hayes on Fogarty's right. Behind them they'll have the familar weight of the two O'Cs with Quinlan joined in the back row by his Tipperary buddy Denis Leamy and David Wallace on the openside.
Munster: Paul Warwick, Doug Howlett, Keith Earls, Lifeimi Mafi, Denis Hurley, Ronan O'Gara, Tomas O'Leary; Wian du Preez, Denis Fogarty, John Hayes; Donncha O'Callaghan, Paul O'Connell (capt), Alan Quinlan, David Wallace, Denis Leamy. Replacements: Damien Varley, Darragh Hurley, Tony Buckley, Mick O'Driscoll, Donnacha Ryan, Niall Ronan, Peter Stringer, Jean de Villiers.
USAP Perpignan: Jérôme Porical, Farid Sid, David Marty, Maxime Mermoz, Christophe Manas, Gavin Hume, Nicolas Durand, Perry Freshwater, Guilhem Guirado, Nicolas Mas (capt), Olivier Olibeau, Robins Tchale Watchou, Yoann Vivalda, Bertrand Guiry, Yannick Parent.

Another quality bag, and hot commodity at the trade show, is the lime green pull-string backpack from Vi-COR (EH 2417-2518).
You can continue to accessorize with some clothing giveaways. Cargill (EH 3401-3502) and Boehringer Ingelheim (EH 2806-2909) are handing out t-shirts promoting their brands. Bayer Animal Health (EH 4215) helps you prepare for the upcoming colder months with some gloves.
Among the expected (and much appreciated) pens and pads of paper, there are also some unique freebies. In addition to their t-shirt, Boehringer Ingelheim offers attendees posters of their attractive BOVIKALC ad, featuring either a Holstein or Jersey cow. Winfield Solutions (EH 4412-4414) is giving away a handy alfalfa hoop to producers and a pennant that can be colored, for any kid or kid at heart. For sports fans, or GEA (EH 2001-2307, 4313-4316, 4601-4603) fans, stop by their booth for a "Get Dipped!" foam finger.

Will you watch it? My grandson and his high school marching band will perform!
Concord High School's Marching Minutemen will spend Thanksgiving in New York, as they make the school's seventh trip to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Concord's band, 245 members strong, has been raising money for the trip over the past year, and they have been practicing their Macy's show since the summer. "We knew that as our season progressed that we would be involved with our normal, football field state competition, and Macy's was a separate animal we had to prepare for," said Scott Sprading, the school's Director of Music.
The Minutemen have focused exclusively on the parade over the past couple weeks ever since finishing as runner-up to Greenwood High School in Class B of the State Marching Band Finals at Lucas Oil Stadium. "We were really close to winning a state title, and there was some disappointment on the part of the students there. I wasn't sure how they would respond, but since then, they are gung-ho ready to go to New York," said Spradling.
Spradling says the band had to prepare two songs to play while marching the two-and-a-half mile parade route; they chose "Here Comes Santa Claus" and the Concord school song, which just happens to be the Navy theme "Anchor's Aweigh." For their truncated show in front of the Macy's store that will be televised by NBC, Spradling chose the classic "Journey To The Center Of Your Mind", the only hit song from Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes. The selection didn't go over with a Macy's official at first. "When I said 'we're going to do this tune', he said 'Okay. I'm not sure this is going to work. So, I sent him a recording of the arrangement. As soon as he got it, he said 'okay. I love it," Spradling said.
Concord will be the third band in the Macy's parade lineup - Spradling says their approximate performance time on TV will be 10:20 am.

HOUSTON — Wade Phillips shook off the question. The Houston Texans defensive coordinator said to save it for another day. He had no interest in talking about the New England Patriots just moments after the Texans defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 19-13 in the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs at Reliant Stadium.
The Texans players, however, had their minds firmly set on next weekend's rematch with the reigning AFC champion Patriots.
Houston players talked about the embarrassment that unfolded on the road Dec. 10 when they sauntered into Gillette Stadium with an 11-1 record and the attention of the entire league. What unfolded was a humiliating 42-14 defeat on Monday Night Football that sent the team into a downward spiral.
MORE: Texans outlast Bengals
BANANAS FOSTER: Bengals can't slow Houston's star runner
COLUMN: What happened to A.J. Green?
The Texans have not forgotten.
"We knew that if we went out and took care of business today, we'd get another shot at them," wide receiver Andre Johnson said. "They are a great football team. Last time we went up there, we didn't put out a good performance. They actually gave us a real good butt whupping."
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was able to have his way with the Houston defense, which gave up touchdowns on each of the Patriots' first three possessions.
This time around, defensive end Antonio Smith said one main goal will be to keep Brady off the field. The Patriots racked up 419 offensive yards and six touchdowns in the first game.
"We have to make the big plays instead of them making the big plays," Smith said. "We have to get the turnovers instead of them getting the turnovers. The balls need to bounce our way. The energy needs to be with us even though it's at their house. We have to do whatever we need to do for that energy to be on our side. When it's a third down, and it's Wes Welker or whoever they are throwing to, and they are making the first-down catch, we need to knock that ball down. It's the only way to get Brady off that field. When he is off the field, the better chance we have of winning."
Texans owner Bob McNair hopes the victory against Cincinnati restores some confidence the Texans lost after losing three of their last four regular-season games. He liked what he saw against the Bengals, especially the energy.
"We just need to play with the same level of intensity that we had today, and if we do that, we'll do very well," McNair said. "I'm not worried. If we have that kind of intensity, we can play with anyone."
The Texans looked so overmatched in the first game against New England that some major adjustments will need to be made.
"We understand the challenge that we have," coach Gary Kubiak said. "That is what is awesome about this league; it's the ultimate challenge. They've been there for a long time. We had a rough trip up there last time, but we've earned our right to go back. We want to go back and play a heck of a lot better than we did."
The defense will be key, and it couldn't be coming off a better performance. The Bengals offense was on the field less than 21 minutes and went 0-for-9 on third-down conversions. Cincinnati managed just 198 total yards — including 53 in the first half.
Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, who has a sack in all three of his career playoff games, will be key, as will defensive backs like Johnathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson, who each had strong outings against the Bengals.
Each of them want another shot at New England.
"They're not world beaters, but obviously they whupped us up pretty good the first time," said Joseph, who had five tackles and one interception against Cincinnati. "We'll have that on our minds some, but we can't focus on that because we have to focus on the goal at hand, and that's going 1-0."
PLAYOFF PICTURE: Full schedule and matchups
The Houston offense will turn again to Arian Foster, who has shined in each playoff game, becoming the only player in NFL history to top 100 rushing yards in his first three career playoff games. If Foster can produce, the Texans are confident he will open up more opportunities for quarterback Matt Schaub to find the end zone. Foster had just 46 yards against the Patriots last time they met.
"He's a man," Kubiak said of Foster. "I've been around some good ones. ... The whole stadium knew we had to line up and run the ball and, boy, was he at his best there at the end. He's become a fine, fine player and it just seems like the bigger it gets, the better Arian gets."
He'll need to be huge next week.

Crispin Howarth has been a curator at the Gallery for four years this month. My special passion is art from the Pacific, that's Papua New Guinea in the West right over to some of the remotest spots on earth such as Rapa Nui (Easter Island). I am currently curating Varilaku: Pacific Arts from the Solomon Islands which opens in Canberra on 26 February 2011.
What has been your most satisfying moment as a curator?
It was a community access event for the ACT & Queanbeyan Maori community where around 60 members of the community came together to view the national collection of Maori treasures, or Taonga. The works were blessed and celebrated through singing. It was very moving in a way which words cannot really convey.
If you could curate a solo show of any artist who would it be??
It's really obvious—Mutuaga, the famed 19th century master carver from the Dagodagisu village, PNG. He deserves recognition after over a century of obscurity.
If you were a work of art in the collection what would you be?
I'm easy—anything which the Chapman brothers or the late and dearly missed Don Van Vliet have had their hands on.
What is your favourite work not on display?
An inspiration dish from Fiji. It is used by a priest in rites to connect with, or become possessed by, a god. The dish is cleverly created in the form of a turtle and has a sublime patination from decades of handling and care.
What is the smelliest/ oldest/ most fragile work you have encountered?
In a previous museum I worked for, certainly the smelliest object was a 120-year-old vat of sharks in alcohol all piled together like a tin of sardines. A few seconds after lifting the lid off and you could literally pass out.

Tickets are available today. The official word: Filmmaker Ken Burns will speak at the fifth Kent State University Presidential Speaker Series on Tuesday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m. in the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center (MAC Center).
This ticketed event is open to the public. Free general admission tickets will be available beginning Monday, March 3, at http://kentstate.universitytickets.com. A limited number of $15 chairback seats also will be available. Burns' appearance is sponsored by Kent State's Office of the Provost, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of the Arts and the College of Communication and Information.
"It is a true honor to bring Ken Burns to Kent," said Kent State President Lester A. Lefton. "As one of the most influential filmmakers of all time, he has brought history to life for millions around the world."
Ken Burns has been making films for more than 30 years. Since the Academy Award-nominated "Brooklyn Bridge" in 1981, Burns has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made.
His landmark series "The Civil War" was the highest-rated series in the history of American Public Television and attracted an audience of 40 million during its premiere in September 1990. In addition to directing "The Civil War," Burns served as producer, co-writer, chief cinematographer, music director and executive producer. The film was honored with more than 40 major film and television awards.
Burns was the director, producer, co-writer, chief cinematographer, music director and executive producer of the Public Television series "Baseball." Four-and-a-half years in the making and 18-and-a-half hours in length, the film covers the history of baseball from the 1840s to the present. It became the most watched series in PBS history, attracting more than 45 million viewers.
In fall 2009, PBS broadcast the Emmy Award-winning "The National Parks: America's Best Idea." Directed and co-produced by Burns, the six-part series focuses on the ideas and individuals that helped propel the parks into existence.
In November 2012, PBS broadcast "The Dust Bowl," a two-part series about the worst man-made ecological disaster in American history. Other recent projects include "The Central Park Five" and "Prohibition."
Burns' films have won 12 Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations, and in 2008, he was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award. He has been the recipient of more than 25 honorary degrees and is a sought after public speaker, appearing at colleges, civic organizations and business groups throughout the country.
Projects currently in production include "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History," a seven-episode series scheduled for broadcast in the fall of 2014, as well as films on the Gettysburg Address, Jackie Robinson, the Vietnam War and the history of country music.
In addition to being the spring Presidential Series Speaker, Burns' appearance will serve as the keynote address for the 2014 Symposium on Democracy.
About the Kent State University Presidential Speaker Series
The Kent State Presidential Speaker Series seeks to bring high-profile, world-renowned experts to Kent State for serious, thought-provoking discussions and conversations. The program enhances the engagement of the world beyond Kent State's campuses, which is one of the university's strategic goals.

On Thursday, the NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee announced recommended changes meant to bring balance to the game following the lowest-scoring season since 1952, a campaign that sparked "growing criticism."
PREVIOUSLY: NCAA rules panel moves to open up college basketball
These implementations must be approved by the Playing Rules Oversight panel on June 18 in order to become effective for the 2013-14 season. Until then, here's a look at the pros and cons two of the most impactful rule changes could present:
Block-charge rule change: A defender would receive a blocking foul if he moves into the path of an offensive player starting his upward motion with the ball in order to shoot or pass.
Pro: Better offense. This move, in particular, is meant to facilitate more scoring. The block-charge calls will be debated regardless, but the current rule — specifying that a defender must be in legal guarding position before the offensive player leaves the floor — benefits the defensive player.
Con: College coaches preach taking charges. That shouldn't change. This will surely make defensive players think twice when it comes time to make a game-altering play.
An example of the current call sparking controversy: In the third round of the NCAA tournament, Aaron Craft of Ohio State's controversial drawn charge marred his cold-blooded game-winning shot that advanced the Buckeyes to the Sweet 16. Iowa State's Will Clyburn looked to make a clutch basket with 1:15 remaining while absorbing contact. Except Craft rotated at the nick of time to earn a charge call. With the new rule in place, that's a block. "College basketball refs repeatedly call charges on clear blocks. It is an epidemic, and a failure. We can do better." — ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said after the game.

Elbow rule change: Officials will now have the ability to use their judgment to determine if a player's elbow is worthy of a flagrant 2, a flagrant 1, a common foul or no foul out all. With the current rule, any elbow above the shoulders automatically whistled a flagrant foul.
Pro: This avoids criticism over elbows that were clearly inadvertent and end up costing teams in crucial situations.
Con: Referees will still need to make protecting players a priority. The current rule, while criticized, automatically attempts this. Officials still must penalize vicious elbows. But now players might play with more intensity and less restraint. That can be good and bad.
Getty Images
An example of the current call sparking controversy: In the third round of the NCAA tournament, Creighton's Doug McDermott was whistled with a flagrant foul when he inadvertently swung his elbows. In a game between Wichita State and Pittsburgh during the second round of the NCAAs, CBS analyst Doug Gottlieb was fuming when Pittsburgh's Lamar Patterson was called for a similar call. "This is the dumbest thing we do in basketball," he said at the time.
