briefly, what i learned about acl injuries
5/21/2012
Long story short, I stupidly injured my knee riding my bike on sunday, and this is what I found about ACL injuries.
1.) Only those with complete tears need to have surgery, otherwise physical therapy should do the trick
2.) Even If the ACL is completely torn, surgery is not always required. Age and level of activity play an important role in deciding whether surgery is necessary.
3.) A younger more active person would significantly benefit from having ACL surgery as it will allow them to return to normal activity.
4.)When the ACL is torn, it is not technically repaired as the ends of the ligament cannot be reattached. Instead, the ACL is reconstructed by creating a new ligament.
5.)Most people return to sports within 4 months after surgery.

The new iPad
"Everyone's been wondering... who will come out with a product that's more amazing than the iPad 2?" Let me guess. Apple?!
"You won't find these incredible apps on other tablets. In some estimates there were over 100 competitive tablets launched in the last year. You won't find that same competitive experience."
Blah blah blah, everybody loves the iPad. We got it Tim. WE KNOW!
"When we asked iPad users who had a notebook a desktop and a smartphone about their favorite device for email, they responded 'iPad.'"
That's more iPads than any PC manufacturer sold PCs. HP sold 15.1 million PCs total in that same quarter, though we're not sure of the source of these numbers.
"The momentum behind iPad has been incredible and it has surprised virtually everyone."
"Okay, time to talk iPad..."
It also recommends movies for you based on what you've seen. A long-press of Menu brings you back to the home, short tap to bring a pop-up menu.
