March 14: Improving the 40-Yard Dash
April 4: Shoulder Injuries in Overhead Athletes
April 11: Surprising Symptoms of Back Injuries

All lectures will take place from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 301 Bayview Circle, Suite 218, Newport Beach.
Source: DISC Sports and Spine Center
In recent years, much focus has been placed on safety in sports, especially in football. Concussions run rampant through the National Football League, and the league has put great emphasis on protecting its players.
Dr. Joseph Horrigan, a specialist in sports medicine, along with other specialists will anchor the "Coaches and Captains" lecture series which began Feb. 28 in Newport Beach, where they will discuss concussion prevention and treatment, as well as a myriad other topics.
We spoke with Horrigan about the importance of understanding what constitutes a concussion, how to treat them and most important, how to best detect them in youth athletes.
Q: Why have this series of lectures now?
A: The biggest reason is that there is an increased interest in concussions on a national scale, and a number of other injuries are getting more attention as well. ACL tears in adolescent female athletes are extremely disproportionate and there is a chance it could be related to their menstrual cycle. When we look at that, as well as football and concussions and dehydration, it all adds up to education and information. Rather than doing one topic, we're going to do a series of topics that informs coaches about a number of injuries.
Q: Is a high school kid having a concussion the same thing as say, an NFL player or an adult, having a concussion?
A: It's worse in high school because the brain is still developing. Younger people are also more at risk for a rare occurrence called second impact syndrome, which can be fatal. We see it mostly with athletes under the age of 25. In simple terms, the first concussion confuses the brain and the second can cause the brain to lose the ability to regulate its own blood flow. That can result in malignant brain swelling and death. So, part of why we wanted to include captains and key players is because what we see sometimes is a teammate thinks they're protecting their friends by not telling on them. But they're actually setting them up for more problems. We need to break through this idea in order to reduce concussions.
Q: How many concussions are occurring in sports on a yearly basis? Is it increasing, particularly in football?
A: The Centers for Disease Control (and Prevention) predicted the number of concussions to be close to 2 million per year but that's probably not accurate either. Reporting them becomes the issue. We need to look at the ways in which concussions are reported, such as implementing postseason questionnaires. A lot of kids have concussion symptoms all season and don't tell anyone because we've conditioned them to keep going. We have to change the culture a little bit because parents are becoming very alarmed.
Q: How quickly can these concussions be detected in our high school athletes? What can we do to catch them sooner rather than later?
A: The symptoms would be relatively soon. The only concern is, are we going to continue to teach them to say they're fine? If their grades drop, we clearly have a problem. If parents were to find their children are more emotional, have more mood swings, difficulty finishing their homework, they can't seem to read a page so they go back and read it again, these are not insignificant symptoms. Their brain has been traumatized. Also, in other sports, like soccer, the concussion rate is significant. It's higher in girls soccer and one theory is that because girls' necks are smaller with less strength, their heads whip faster and the brain bounces around in the cranium more. That's an issue. In any sport, football and soccer included, your neck needs to be strong.
Q: What is the key message that we need to get across to kids in order to help change the culture of football?
A: We need to get them to realize that concussions are real and have long-term effects. Most kids are not going to be NFL players of NCAA players. There is a lifetime of cognitive functions that they need.
*The second lecture will take place March 14. Thursday, Feb. 28 was the first of the six-part series.

Meet The Beat – Special Constable Chris Allen, Sedgley Police Station, Dudley LPU
This is the first of a new feature I'm starting on the blog called 'Meet The Beat'. In each little interview I'll be playing a mix between Paxman, Snow and Parkinson asking people from various roles in West Midlands Police about what they do, what they don't do and what they'd like to do.
The aim of the feature is to give you an idea about how diverse our operation is, to introduce you to the people working on your behalf and to try and dispel some common misconceptions held about different roles in the police.
To kick off I've had a chat with SC Chris Allen to find out a little more about what a Special Constable does.
How long have you been in the job and what do you do as well as being a Special Constable?.
I was promoted to Acting Section Officer, Special Constabulary Supervisor in May of this year. However, I've been a member West Midlands Police Special Constabulary for about 3 years now. In my full time job I'm a Property Services Management Trainee for Wolverhampton Homes, which is an Arm's Length Management Organisation of Wolverhampton City Council.
Why did you join the police?
I joined as a Special Constable to give something back to my community and to help protect the community, the best way of doing this I thought was being a Special Constable or a Police Officer. I also want to get a taste of policing and to see if I would like it before applying for a full time position. I hasten to add, I loved it from day one.
Tell us about your current role, where do you work, what do you do and what does the work involve?
My current role as Acting Section Officer, I'm responsible for a team of 10 Special Constables based at Sedgley Police Station. My work involves organising my officers to help police key local events and neighbourhood priorities such as anti-social behaviour or recent bonfire events, etc. I'm responsible for organising any local training events and to liaise and organise the team with any up and coming duties, tasking, etc. I'm also responsible for liaising with the Neighbourhood Teams (NHTs), to gain knowledge of key hot spot areas and local issues and see how the extra resource of a team of Specials can contribute to the policing of local neighbourhoods.
Why did your current role appeal to you?
I wanted to give something back to my community. Progressing to the role of a Section Officer, Special Constabulary Supervisor has allowed me to become more involved with the community with regards to tackling local issues but also it has starkly pointed out many challenges that face the modern day police service with government cut backs and issues that come with that.
What's your shift pattern like?
As a member of the Special Constabulary, I can work whenever I like. Whether it's a Saturday night, looking after the troubles that come with a night time economy or during the week when some local events are taking place, for example PACT meetings. As long as I complete 16 hours a month, which is the amount West Midlands Police asks off its Specials, the choice is effectively yours.
What are your favourite parts about your role and the job in general?
My favourite part about the role is when you've done a good job as a volunteer Special Constable and you're thanked by a member of the public or the duty Inspector at the end, it really does make you feel that giving up your spare time is worthwhile. My favourite part about the job, honestly would be the blue light runs that you get to go on when you're working with the regulars. I know it's a little childish but I still get that sense of adrenaline every time I go on one, perhaps it wears off working full time as a regular?
Is there anything you don't like about your job or is there anything you'd change?
Not being paid for it! Haha!
Let's talk paperwork and files – is it proportionate to the work we do or do you think some of it is unnecessary?
Even as a Special, I think the paperwork side is a little too much. We get to see and deal with some aspects of it but we don't, for example, sort case files as we work perhaps one or two days a week, we simply not there often enough to follow the paperwork through. I really don't envy the regulars with what paperwork they have to do. Fair play to them.
Are you happy staying where you are or are there other roles in the police you're interested in?
When the recruitment opens again for the regulars, whenever that maybe, I would definitely consider applying. However, I really enjoy my current career and working for West Midlands Police as a volunteer is extremely rewarding.
What would you say has been the most memorable thing you've done or been involved with since you joined the police?
There is quite a lot memorable moments, one that springs to mind would probably be when myself and my colleague were first on scene to a large fight in progress in Sedgley. From a personal point of view, knowing that I can deal with that and be confident in that situation is extremely comforting but also to have comments made by high ranking regular officers as being a job well done and not realising we were Special Constables till afterwards gave me a real sense of pride. I was also first on scene to an officer who had press their emergency button as they were struggling with a person who didn't take kindly to being arrested. Just being round the corner and able to help was a really rewarding moment.
The police stereotype is that we all love doughnuts and coffee – is it true?
Not at all, in fact most officers I know are health fanatics, with the exception of the occasional Kebab tradition of a Friday night. Haha, you know who you are!

A new technique called "brain fingerprinting," which is much more accurate than a polygraph test, is an important new tool for catching criminals. However, in one of its first tests, it's being used to overturn a murder conviction.
The method, developed by Dr. Larry Farwell, reads the brain's involuntary electrical activity in response to a subject being shown images relating to the crime they're accused of committing. It's more accurate than the polygraph because it picks up the electrical signal, known as a p300 wave, before the suspect has time to change it. In bbcnews.com, Becky McCall quotes Farwell, as saying, "It is highly scientific; brain fingerprinting doesn't have anything to do with the emotions, whether a person is sweating or not; it simply detects scientifically if that information is stored in the brain. It doesn't depend upon the subjective interpretation of the person conducting the test. The computer monitors the information and comes up with information present or information absent."
Jimmy Ray Slaughter has been accused of shooting, stabbing and mutilating his former girlfriend, Melody Wuertz, and of shooting to death their eleven-month old-daughter, Jessica. Farwell ran a "brain fingerprinting" test on him and says, "Jimmy Ray Slaughter did not know where in the house the murder took place; he didn't know where the mother's body was lying or what was on her clothing at the time of death?a salient fact in the case?What I can say definitively from a scientific standpoint, is that Jimmy Ray Slaughter's brain does not contain a record of some of the most salient details about the murder for which he's been convicted and sentenced to death."
There's evil in the world, but there's good here too. Getting in the Gap is a little book about achieving profound personal revelation through a simple meditation on the Lord's Prayer. The CD that comes with it offers what is probably the most beautiful and vibrant meditation that Wayne Dyer has ever created?it's one of all-time best sellers.

Matthew R. Simmons died suddenly of a heart attack on Sunday. He was the controversial author of Twilight in the Desert, which shed doubt on Saudi Arabia's continued ability to supply the world with oil. Mr Simmons – one of the most influential proponents of peak oil, the theory that world oil production had, or was about to, peak – did more than anyone to prompt the secretive kingdom to make available data on its oil industry.
His study of the world's biggest oil fields and their steep production decline rates was closely followed by a similar study by the International Energy Agency, the rich countries' energy watchdog. This helped thrust the debate from the sidelines of internet doomsayers to the mainstream, especially as oil prices were rising to the July 2008 record of $147 a barrel.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Department of Justice on Dec. 20 ordered Ally Financial and Ally Bank to pay $80 million to borrowers and $18 million in penalties in the largest auto loan discrimination settlement in history. More than 235,000 African-American, Hispanic, and other minority car loan borrowers allegedly received unfair interest rates through Ally Financial, according to federal regulators.
"Too many consumers have had to pay more for their auto loans simply because of their race or other characteristics protected under the law," said CFPB director Richard Cordray. "Discrimination is a serious issue across every consumer credit market." Many consumers do not realize that they are paying more than necessary or are unable to get help in challenging it, he added.
Ally maintains that it does not engage in discriminatory practices, noting that it does not make loans directly to consumers but instead purchases installment contracts originated by auto dealers. Under the settlement, Ally must either monitor dealer markups against future discrimination or eliminate the markups outright. The company also must establish a compliance program to prevent future discrimination, including dealer education and analysis of pricing data for disparities. Until this program effectively eliminates disparities, Ally must pay harmed consumers each year under the order -- or it can move away from dealer markups to a nondiscretionary dealer compensation structure that eliminates its obligation to monitor the fair lending risk of dealer markups.

VIRGINIA CITY - Kyler Schmitz, the man accused of sparking last summer's Bear Trap 2 Fire, was acquitted on all charges following a three-day jury trial.
Schmitz was charged with nine felony counts of arson.
After deliberating for less than an hour on Wednesday afternoon, a Madison County jury found Schmitz not guilty on all counts.
Schmitz took the stand on Tuesday and admitted to starting the fire. He said that he lit the firework that started the fire, but the firework did not work properly.
Schmitz said he tried to put out spot fires then called for help, and that he threw water from coolers onto the fire and then filled the coolers from the river to dump on the fire.
In opening arguments, the defense argued that Schmitz notified other campers of the fire, tried to put it out, and was accountable for his actions.
On Monday, the first day of trial, the prosecution played a tape on which jurors could hear Schmitz telling a deputy he was responsible for the fire.
According to the prosecutor, Schmitz made a series of choices that led to the blaze that destroyed private property, including a home.
According to charging documents, Schmitz and several friends were camping at the Bear Trap Campground in the Lower Madison recreation area.
On the morning of June 25, 2012, Schmitz reportedly lit a firework that exploded several feet from the ground. According to witnesses, the firework sparked several fires in nearby tall grasses. The group tried to put out the fires with water and dirt, but the blaze quickly grew out of control. They fled and called 911.
The fire consumed more than 15,000 acres and cost more than $1.2 million.

Situated at the entrance way of the Malacca Strait, the island is commonly a sea passage and a jewel for many yachts and cruise ships to visit and see. Diving in Weh Island is a well established recreational activity...

The stunning Taka Bonerate National Park
Stretching south of the main island of Sulawesi in the Flores Sea, the Taka Bonerate National Park in the Selayar Regency is predominantly a rich marine park , but it is also habitat to a number of bird species from land birds, to coastal and sea birds that frolic on the many sand dunes. The Island of Selayar is the gateway to this extensive 530,765 hectares national park, of which 220,000 hectares form an expanse of atolls and lagoons....

Located at the most southern end of South Sulawesi, this quiet and now isolated island of Selayar, with its swathes of pristine white sand beaches and crystal clear tropical waters used to have an illustrious past.

This incredibly fun and easily done party dress is all about the inset that you choose for it. We went with gold for a bit of glam, but you can also tone it down with less sparkly options like a cotton trim. This is our little New Year party dress, in case you are still looking for what to wear. You can easily make it in a day or weekend, it is very easy to adjust the fit in the back or sideseams, and you will look super glamorous in it for sure!! This is only a slight modification of the other Minna dress we posted on the site, see in our instructions how to re-shape the neck according to your choice of trim. Have fun with it!

When I saw the Minna original I thought, "lower that neckline a bit and I've got myself a cocktail dress for the company Xmas party". But the wonderful folks at Burda already did it. Sweet!
Apr 3, 2008, 06.17 PMby beckercs
ok wow. I definitely need this… I can't get enough of deep v-necks and drapery. omg it's perfect. Fo sho.
Jan 20, 2008, 01.00 PMby dairyheir66
I love this dress. I'll probably try it as a top first since I don't wear dresses very often even though I love them.
Dec 30, 2007, 10.05 PMby parkerway
i really think this dress is unique and fun, it can give many variations of style by playing with many fabrics…..great job and fun
Dec 28, 2007, 02.06 PMby baerbelborn
Extraordinary! Never seen such drapery and it seems the pattern is perfect for further alteration. To the scissors, heat up the sewing machine. Summer will come and this dress is mine for the upcoming warm and tender breeze.
Dec 28, 2007, 07.19 AMby mirela
I love it! I wish I had the exact same colors you used, but I think I can come up with something, I hope by New Years! This pattern is something I could not find in my full closet of Burda Magazines I have been collecting since the 90s, not even in the Italian "La mia Boutique". Thank you and BRAVO!!!
Dec 27, 2007, 06.33 PMby pranamama
I'm pretty curvy, too, but I think this will be fantastic as a top, because I'm still nursing a baby, and the flowy-open bottom of the dress(that I will make as a top) will be great for hiding what no one needs to see while showing off the parts I like! Great colors on this one, too!!
Dec 27, 2007, 05.33 PMby kallers
Cute dress, I'm just skeptical about how it will look on more curvy figures (like mine!).
Dec 27, 2007, 12.23 PMby ruffie
Wow this dress is stunning, i love the v neck i will make one for me and my daughters.
Dec 27, 2007, 12.07 PMby atmomma
I can't wait to try this one. Although I love dresses, they usually don't love me back so I think I'll shorten it a bit to make a top.
Dec 27, 2007, 09.51 AMby lauriana
I'm not usually one for deep V-necks and loose folds, but I love it anyway! And I'm loving the wide range of sizes.
Dec 27, 2007, 09.07 AMby baruch
The dress is stunning, will be making mine for NYE, will keep you posted!!

To The Beginning - page 2
It was 1998, and as far as I knew, the world was perfect. I was ten years old and the reality I perceived was viewed almost exclusively through the protective eyes of my parents, who deftly maneuvered between telling me enough... Read More
- 1May 5, '13 by AmistadSoldierNurse22,
I have been reading your articles on AllNurses since you posted "The Fifteen" and I never cease to be inspired by your words. As a 21 year old nursing student, I have no idea where I'll end up, but I've always been interested in oncology nursing and I hope to find a position in oncology after I graduate this month. I guess oncology is back to my "beginning" because I was first exposed to nursing care when a family member of mine was being treated for lung cancer when I was growing up. I just want to share that your articles have been an inspiration to me.
As always, thank you for sharing your stories! It sounds like you're going to be a great NICU nurse!
- 0May 5, '13 by SoldierNurse22, BSN, RN, EMT-BAmistad,
So glad you've enjoyed reading and that you're been able to get something from my experiences. It wasn't long ago that I was your age and dreaming of being out of school, so I'm very, very excited for you as you start looking to your own future. That old worn-out saying that life is a journey might be cliche, but it's true, and it is wise to at least try to enjoy every minute of it.
Best of luck on your own track and keep us here on AN updated as to where you end up going in what is sure to be a promising career!
- 1May 5, '13 by BuckRNThank you so much for sharing a glimpse of you! It is awesome to see nurses sharing "life" with each other. Many blessings to you in your future! May your NICU job provide you many challenges, because let's be honest, a good nurse thrives on challenges even as we appreciate the occasional "slow" shifts. I am getting ready to embark on the journey of finally working in the area that inspired me to be a nurse. I embraced my experiences up to this point even though it was not my ideal just as it seems you have. Most of all, thank you for having the courage to serve our country!
- 0May 5, '13 by SoldierNurse22, BSN, RN, EMT-BBuckRN,
Thanks for reading and for your comment! Sounds like we may have had some experiences in common, at least the bottom line of dealing with work situations we weren't necessarily hug fans of! I am looking forward to the transition when the time comes, but as you said, I will focusing on doing the work set before me until that time. All the best to you!
- 1May 9, '13 by MadrasAmazing and inspiring
- 1Jul 30, '13 by AmistadHey SoldierNurse22! I posted a comment on your article "To the Beginning" a few months ago about how I was inspired by your articles. I just wanted to share with you that I got my dream job in oncology and am starting next Monday!! I hope you're doing well as a NICU nurse.
- 0Jul 30, '13 by SoldierNurse22, BSN, RN, EMT-BHey Amistad,
That's awesome! I'm so excited for you! Oncology is such an interesting and rewarding field. As a new grad, try not to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of info coming at you--you will absorb it over time and in one of the best ways possible: through experience, not just book learning.
I have another year and a half until I can work toward my goal of NICU nursing, but until then, I'm taking advantages of opportunities to learn more and help the folks in my clinic. All the best to you and good luck on Monday!
- 1Dec 5, '13 by sokedmy dear so nice
thanks for telling us & share your story.

- 1Mar 13, '12 by shun85I think the nursing shortage is slowly becoming a thing of the past everywhere. more and more people are going back to school for higher eds. a lot of the "desired" nursing jobs are taken by individuals with years of experience. and those people usualy dont leave until they retire or find a higher desired nursing job. uab (the biggest employer in alabama), brookwood, and the baptist health systems are always hiring.

Title: Where are all the next gen games?
Posted: October 05, 2009 (01:13 PM)
So as good as Modern Warfare is, as good as Mario Galaxy is, I don't call them truly "next gen" games. Why? Because they fail my "next gen" test, that's why.
Here's the test: If a game can be ported to a console in a previous generation and keep its core gameplay and overall design in place, it's not what I'm calling for the purposes of this piece a "next gen" game. Mario Galaxy was great, but really, it's a GameCube title with some star-shaking stuff thrown in. Modern Warfare? Amazing, but as the upcoming Wii port attests, it used the 360 and PS3 primarily for better graphics and sound. LittleBigPlanet? Another great game, but the PSP version shows the core experience could have been done on a PS2.
while Modern Warfare and Little Big Planet could be possible on a PS2 with the core gameplay intact. the experience just wouldn't be the same. Mario Galaxy could be ported to GameCube with the spherical worlds concept and no star-shaking but since the idea came to reality on the Wii and with it's tiny extra graphical muscle Mario Galaxy looks and plays better than Mario Sunshine ever did, i think Galaxy qualifies as a "next-gen" mario game.
when i think of "original" next-gen games, i think of new settings, new characters, inventive visual/audio design(not necessarily technically better), inventive gameplay styles. the most important thing is it must be a combination of most or all these aspects but executed properly. there are alot of games i thought could have been good next-gen games but just weren't designed well like Lair, Assassin's Creed etc. hopefully games like Demon's Souls will fare much better.
here are my favorite games/potential franchises from the current next-gen consoles:
(in no particular order)
No More Heroes
Wii Sports
FallOut 3
Little Big Planet
Valkyria Chronicles
Zack & Wiki
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
if i had a 360 the list might be bigger

As the obvious technical differences between each successive generation of consoles decreases, the obviousness of all other kinds of difference is decreasing as well.
In one sense, technical advances allow certain kinds of innovation, and very occasionally someone gets another 'eureka!' idea and makes a game that is new in its exploitation of the advances... but in another sense, there's no reason to expect these technological advances to make anyone more inherently creative. I think that's perhaps where you, or the kotaku guy, overexpect of the idea of 'next gen'. It's only because gaming is so young that we've been able to witness these generations where there was an amazing change each time. That time's over, and we've entered the steep, slow part of the development curve as of the Playstation era.
I wonder if designers were able to divorce themselves from the technology more, that they might experience more freedom in their thoughts. But they can't, 'cos as soon as they get used to programming one set of hardware and just showing up to its basic demands (Re: what consumers expect to see from it), another is thrown at them and they have to move back to point A. I'd like to see another gen like the PS1 where the same hardware stayed in place for 10 years. People really pushed the thing, and had the time to get well past the 'schtick of the week' phase.

actually i'm a little more lenient than the kotaku guy as to what i think a next-gen game should be. he says Call of Duty 4 and Super Mario Galaxy doesn't qualify as next-gen games because it can be done on last-gen consoles but i disagree with that. it's like saying Sonic The Hedgehog on the Genesis wasn't a next-gen game because it was ported to the Master System.

I think what this guy is calling for is games that push the CONCEPT of what gaming is. He wants things that couldn't have been done on a prior system, even if the games were willing to take a graphical hit.
But that's a strange way to judge a game. Games are based on more graphical achievements these days. It DOES affect the gameplay, when you can have a million soldiers on screen during Heavenly Sword, or 256 people fighting online in MAG, or a world so detailed it comes alive in Shadow of the Colossus.
His argument is an interesting one, but it would've been better suited to the gap between NES and SNES, or SNES and PS1.
EDIT: he's also ignoring the amount of coding that new systems can handle, as well as musical and sound achievements. He's looking at a very specific aspect of gaming.
