Why Adoption is a Great Option
LACY (BLUE), a Tully German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Tully, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Tully.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tully already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tully breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tully paves the way for another one to be saved.

High Carb Foods
There are two kinds of high carb foods, healthy and unhealthy. Carbohydrates are used by the body to create fuel to burn for energy. Healthy high carb foods are absorbed slower and provide an even supply of fuel. Unhealthy high carb foods are absorbed in the body very quickly and spike the blood sugar. They burn off fast and create what is called a sugar crash. After eating a sugary candy bar, blood sugar spikes, the body gets a burst of energy, it burns off quickly, and the body droops, feels tired, and sleepy.
- High Carb Whole Grains. One of the best sources of high carb foods is whole grains. High carb whole grains foods are brown or wild rice, bran, barley flakes, buckwheat, millet, oatmeal, whole wheat flour, and whole wheat pasta. Oatmeal or whole grain cereal makes a great high carb breakfast, especially if you add fresh fruit to the cereal. Use whole wheat bagels, whole wheat pita bread, or whole wheat bread for sandwiches. Instead of white pasta, try whole wheat pasta with your favorite sauce for dinner.
- High Carb Legumes. Not all legumes are high carb food. The legumes with the highest content of carbs are chickpeas, white beans, black eye peas, refried pinto beans, garbanzo beans, and navy beans. A burrito made with a whole wheat tortilla, refried beans, shredded lettuce, and chopped tomatoes makes a tasty high carb lunch.
- High Carb Fruits. The fruits that contain the highest concentration of carbohydrates are bananas, raisins, cherries, grapes, mangoes, dates, kiwi, figs, pears, pineapple, oranges, and plumbs. Fruit alone will not add a large amount of carbohydrates to a diet but should be added to breakfast cereal or eaten as a dessert.
- High Carb Vegetables. Vegetables with the highest content of carbs are beets, carrots, onions, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams. The high carb vegetables do not make a meal but when added to a meal of chicken, legumes, and whole wheat rolls, it becomes a high carb meal.
- High Carb Processed Grains. There is a simple rule for a healthy diet or weight loss program. It is never eat anything white. This is referring to processed flour, sugar, and rice. When whole grains are processed, the natural vitamins and fiber are removed. When processed white flour, sugar, and rice are ingested, it enters the body quickly and spikes the blood sugar. Essentially, eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread is equal to eating a candy bar. Processed grains are found in crackers, breakfast cereal, soft drinks, colorful snack foods, cookies, cupcakes, rice cakes, and many brands of bread.

Colindale school officially opened by Mayor of Barnet
Published Friday 22 June 2012
The borough's newest primary school officially opened its doors to pupils this morning.
The Worshipful the Mayor of Barnet, Councillor Brian Schama, cut a celebratory cake at Colindale Primary School, Clovelly Avenue, followed by a morning of musical performance by pupils at the school.
The opening marks the successful completion of the eighth First Class Schools building project to be undertaken in the borough with partners Kier London.
Colindale Primary School is a three form entry primary school with a provision for children with physical disabilities. The building also houses The Acorn Centre, an Early Years Assessment Centre for children with a range of complex needs.
The wider community will also be able to benefit from many of the building's facilities including a large all weather playing field, games courts, swimming pool and a large hall with stage lighting.
The building has been finished to a high environmental standard using solar power and a ground source heating system to generate energy and heat the pool.
The Worshipful the Mayor said:
"I am delighted to be opening such a magnificent building which will be enjoyed not only by our local school children but the community at large.
"Local residents will be able to make the most of its first class facilities and I am sure it will become a real community hub."
Councillor Andrew Harper Cabinet Member for Education, Children and Families, said:
"Alongside our seven other new primary schools, Colindale has been delivered on time and on budget. This is no mean feat.
"Against what is a very difficult financial backdrop for the council, we have been fortunate enough to be able to make a £100 million investment in our education system which has allowed us to completely rebuild a number of primary schools as part of our First Class Schools Programme.
"I am sure Colindale Primary School will become as well loved as our other schools, showing our commitment to give every child in the borough the best education possible."

NRSC Endorses AM IBOC for Daytime Only
Washington, DC - Mar 21, 2002 - The NRSC's AM IBOC working group will potentially recommend to the FCC that Ibiquity's AM IBOC is suitable for use during daytime hours only. The committee's results show that AM IBOC during the day yields performance comparable to that of FM IBOC. Nighttime operation of the AM IBOC system has outstanding issues due to first- and second-adjacent channel problems. Ibiquity has already stated that it does not expect AM IBOC to work via sky wave signals because of the three subcarriers that occupy the 15kHz mask. This means that AM IBOC will rely solely on ground wave propagation.
With ground wave coverage, the AM IBOC system provides satisfactory results to the 2mV/m contour and sometimes as far out as the 0.6mV/m contour. Stereo AM IBOC sounds like good FM stereo. As the AM IBOC signal degrades, it "glides" to sound like FM mono and then deteriorates from there. This may come as a big surprise to some if there is no nighttime operation. One has to ask if it will be worthwhile for stations to use the system only during the day.
Overall, the AM IOC signal is very robust, but it suffers from the usual AM problems and may limited by first- and second-adjacent problems. The NRSC committee will present its findings on April 6 at NAB for approval by the NRSC.

I am in the process of choosing a navel orange tree. The three candidates are Washington Navel, Robertson navel and trovita navel. I'd like to know the difference between the three. Maybe there is room for two or even all three. But I'd like to know which one grows best and is the sweetest.
Thanks so much. FG |

Where are you?? Growing location is essential to know. I personally think the red navel is best of all for Florida. Paul. |

The original navel orange was the result of the mutation of a common sweet orange growing in an orchard at a monastery in Brazil in 1820. A cutting from that tree was sent to Washington, D.C., in 1870 for propagation. As a result, the original navel orange variety came to be called the Washington navel orange. In the late nineteenth century, Washington navel oranges were distributed around the United States for general cultivation. They were so well suited for the climate of Southern California that they spawned the California citrus industry. The navel orange is the most commonly grown orange in California today. The Washington navel orange ripens from fall into winter, and the fruit will keep on the tree for 3 to 4 months. Other navel orange varieties are sports or mutations of the original Washington. When plant mutations result in desirable traits, they are often developed by growers into separate varieties. Well known Washington navel sports include: Cara Cara: a navel orange with a flavorful, juicy pink flesh. Cara Cara is sweet and mildly acidic. Its flavor is reminiscent of strawberries and raspberries. Cara Cara was discovered on a Washington tree growing in Venezuela. Sometimes Cara Cara is called Red Navel. It ripens from fall into winter. Fukumoto: a sweet and juicy navel with a reddish-orange rind. This is a medium-sized orange that ripens about one week before the Washington. Lane Late: similar to the Washington but has a smaller navel and smoother skin. This variety was discovered in Australia in 1950. Lane Late ripens 4 to 6 weeks later than the Washington. The Lane Late is sometimes called a summer navel. Riverside: this navel orange is the original Washington navel orange by a different name. A cutting of the Washington was sent to Riverside, California in 1870. This was the Washington orange that started commercial orange growing in California. (Bahai is yet another name for the Washington and Riverside navel orange. Bahia is the region of Brazil where the original Washington was discovered.) Robertson: has medium-large fruit just like the Washington but this variety ripens 2 to 3 weeks earlier than the Washington. The Robertson, which is moderately juicy, bears its fruit in clusters. Skaggs Bonanza: is a medium-large to large navel orange that bears more fruit than the Washington and ripens 2 weeks earlier. Skaggs Bonanza has a rich and sweet flavor and is moderately juicy. |

The article's title is "The shoulders Steve Jobs Stood On."
I was waiting for somebody else to do it and now it's days late, but here it is. Steve Jobs deserves all the praise he's gotten, from the public and the geeks. Dennis put a lot of cornerstones in the foundation, and he's not getting much attention from anywhere but the geeks.
I bump into Apple stuff in my work now and then, but Ritchie wrote things that are part and parcel of every minute of my working day. And long after I retire it'll still be there. Probably long after my grandchildren retire. Not a bad thing to put on a tombstone.

The town of La Línea de la Concepción is found settled in the sandy isthmus which links the Rock of Gibraltar with the Peninsula. The origin of the city is related to Spains military history and the construction of the contravallation line around Gibraltars main square known as Línea de Contravalación de la Plaza de Gibraltar. This was constructed under the orders of Philip V during Gibraltars occupation in the 18th Century with the aim of attacking the square and restricting access through the isthmus which united it to the rock. It extended from western to the eastern sea waters, through the San Felipe and Santa Bárbara Forts. One of La Lineas main tourist attractions are its beaches, with their fine, light sand; above all the West beach which extends from the border with Gibraltar to the boundary lines with the municipal territory of San Roque. La Línea is ideal for practicing any type of water sports such as sailing, water-skiing, windsurf, competitive fishing possible both from land or sea-vessels. In addition visitors can also practise golf in an area which offers numerous tourist sporting complexes. Any spot along the coast is perfect for observing the migration of the multitude of birds which cross the Strait every year from Europe to Africa. The panoramic views are also recommended which one can enjoy from numerous points throughout the region: the Higuerón road, the West Beach walkway, the Santa Bárbara watchtower, the San Felipe Pier... On the other hand, the waters around La Línea de la Concepción are home to a large variety of marine species. Among these are three species of dolphins (common, striped and bottle-nosed), it being common to see groups of all ages and sizes. To allow easier observation the town offers daily boat trips where tourists can see and learn everything about these surprising cetaceans. La Línea es una ciudad marcada por su carácter fronterizo, de ahí que la cercana presencia de Gibraltar complemente por una parte su atractivo turístico -es posible subir en teleférico al Peñón y disfrutar de unas espléndidas vistas- y condicione por otra, su actividad económica, conocida por la gran cantidad de establecimientos comerciales que posee. |

Individual Bio's are coming soon...
East Coast Boogiemen (or ECB for short) was created on or around Halloween 1997. For over a decade the duo toured across the Globe playing house music and other twists of the genre for the masses. Unlike most DJ groups of the world, ECB has had a colorful history of splitting and reuniting over time, often to work on solo projects or other personal endeavors. Both DJs became successful in their own right as time grew on. Many complications arose due to living in different cities and a major break for Ken Christensen in 2007 after a health scare from an extended flight back from Australia. Ken continued to DJ again in 2008 very selectively as well as remixing projects for Mark Farina's Great Lakes and doing Sound Scores for various commercial outlets. He also transitioned into widening his range without limits that landed him on stage next to Common, Cyprus Hill and many other majors.
By 2011, Juan was continuing his ELM events and DJ gigs while Ken created an album titled "Underground People" in dedication to their most loyal fans. The pair decided that in the end... they could "not" make music without eventually performing live. In honor of this, the Album is set to be released this Fall 2011 with a tour full of surprises.
The album consists of 28 tracks, there are many new titles and a few older titles that have not been publicly available in close to a decade.
Ken and Juan are available for global booking in support of the album.

US intel believes Kashmiri killed in June Predator strike
Ilyas Kashmiri, the leader of the Harakat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami and al Qaeda's Brigade 313. |
US intelligence officials now believe that a top Pakistani al Qaeda military commander was killed in a Predator strike in South Waziristan that took place early last month.
Ilyas Kashmiri, one of al Qaeda's most dangerous military commanders and strategists, is now thought to have been killed in the June 3, 2011 Predator airstrike that leveled a compound in the Wana area of South Waziristan, an unnamed US official told Reuters.
"US agencies had confirmed to their satisfaction that Kashmiri is dead," the news service reported today. "The official declined to elaborate on what kind of evidence the United States had acquired confirming his demise."
Kashmiri's death has yet to be confirmed by al Qaeda or the Harakat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, the Pakistani terror group that Kashmiri commanded.
Pakistani intelligence officials and the Pakistani press were quick to announce Kashmiri's death, reporting it immediately after the June 3 strike that had occurred in an area under the control of Taliban commander Mullah Nazir, a favorite of Pakistan's military and intelligence establishment.
Within a day of Kashmiri's reported death, several local Taliban leaders, including Mullah Nazir's spokesman, another HUJI leader named Qari Mohammad Idrees, and the Political Agent for South Waziristan, all claimed that Kashmiri had been killed.
But reports of Kashmiri's death were cast into doubt when a person who claimed he was a spokesman for the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islam (or HUJI), said that Kashmiri was indeed killed. Abu Hanzla Kashir, the spokesman, signed a statement claiming Kashmiri had been killed. Kashir's account from the self-proclaimed HUJI spokesman was immediately called into question when discrepancies in the statement were identified. In addition, a photo that was released with the statement and purported to be that of Kashmiri's corpse turned out to be instead a photo of the corpse of a member of the November 2008 Mumbai suicide assault team.
If the reports of his death are confirmed, Kashmiri would be the third top al Qaeda leader killed this year, and the second killed by covert US forces in Pakistan. On May 2, a US special operations team killed Osama bin Laden, the founder and overall leader, during a raid on his safe house in the city of Abbottabad. Also, on June 8, Somali troops killed Fazul Abullah Mohammed, the leader of al Qaeda in East Africa.
Kashmiri is one of the most hunted al Qaeda leaders in the Afghan-Pakistan border area. He leads al Qaeda military forces in the region, and is one of three members of al Qaeda's external operations council, which is assigned to directing attacks against the US and Western allies. He has been implicated in attacks and assassinations in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India, as well as in plots against the West.
For more information on Ilyas Kashmiri, the initial report of his death, and the discredited HUJI statement, see LWJ reports, Top al Qaeda leader Ilyas Kashmiri killed in US Predator strike and Questions emerge over HUJI's statement on al Qaeda leader Ilyas Kashmiri's death.
READER COMMENTS: "US intel believes Kashmiri killed in June Predator strike"
Posted by Neo at July 7, 2011 7:04 PM ET:
They are getting quite a few high value targets, the level of penetration must be very high. You certainly aren�t going to get real time information about this many leadership figures by remote observation and a few tip-offs alone. It has gotten to the point were if more than a few people in the ISI knows were someone is, than we also know. Just because much of the Pakistani security establishment are hostile to the United States doesn�t mean many haven�t grown cynical about the aims of the Taliban as well. A little cash often helps too.
Posted by Zulu1 at July 8, 2011 8:25 AM ET:
It all seems true this time then. But still those strange things right after the reaper-hit makes one cautious. Strangely it would be assuring to get a confirmation from AQ, and not the HUJI-spokesman unheard of before. Remember everyone thought he was hit before and then resurfaced many months later.
But of course it all depends on how strong the intel is signaling his death. Maybe there won't be any euologies from the militant camp. I can't remember hearing of any after the death of Qari Hussein Mehsud.
Posted by Bill Roggio at July 8, 2011 8:37 AM ET:
We've never had confirmation that Qari Hussain Mehsud was killed (and in fact the Taliban have denied this). We have to be careful, remember the Hakeemullah Mehsud fiasco last year; even the US government touted him as being dead until he resurfaced with the Times Square bombing (in fact we here at LWJ were the only ones reporting he was in fact alive).
The short answer on Kashmiri is I don't know. US intel's perspective lends more weight to reports he is dead, but US intel is certainly not infallible (see Hakeemullah above for example). My sources remain agnostic on Kashmiri's status, FWIW.
Posted by KaneKaizer at July 8, 2011 12:49 PM ET:
Not only that Bill, but when Baitullah was killed in 2009 US intel thought he was still alive until Hakeemullah confirmed it, IIRC. Very difficult to find out unless you're in possession of the body.
Posted by dich vu seo at July 9, 2011 8:55 AM ET:
Kashmiri's death has yet to be confirmed by al Qaeda or the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, the Pakistani terror group that Kashmiri commanded.
Has yet to be confirmed!
Posted by Clarence Darby The Villain at July 9, 2011 5:23 PM ET:
It's highly plausible that someone of Kashmiri's caliber can ghost himself. This process would be facilitated in order to avoid US-sponspored snuff strikes by either Predators/Reapers or Pakistani gun-for-hires..
Posted by zulu1 at July 10, 2011 7:40 PM ET:
Exactly. Keep on wondering if ISI is trying to pull a fast one. That boils down to what his recent relation was with the ISI. Remember that Kashmiri used to be somewhat of the golden boy of ISI-sponsored jihadists. Kashimiri was responsible for the raid and kills of among others 2 indian colonels.
But If Kashmiri kept on with attacks in pakistan eventually the establishment is going to get tired and at some point turn on him. Had that time come?

It looks like Kanye was taking another flight out yesterday from Milan landing in Newark. This same airport that West went to yesterday was actually the same location(airport) where he had a few one-on-one incidents with not one but two paparazzi's. He is now facing 2 pending criminal charges due to his violence towards them.
His rep actually did not encourage him to take this route to the Lax. Instead he suggested an alternate route to prevent any run-ins with the paparazzi's taking photos of West. West decided that he did not want travel long in route just to catch a flight out to his destination. Instead, he stated that "he would remain cool no matter how the paps acted".
To add to his sincereness, he hired 3 security guards to go with him for extra containment and security. It seems as if West used a little of his common sense in terms of how he would arrive and depart once he was at the airport. I guess he realizes that he already has two charges pending now and does not want anything else to hurt his case at this time that could make any it more severe.

Our Tylenol lawyers at NastLaw are offering free case evaluations for individuals who suffered liver damage or liver failure from Tylenol.
If you suffered a serious liver injury from Tylenol, you may be eligible for financial compensation by filing a Tylenol lawsuit with one of our dangerous drug attorneys. We will evaluate your case free of charge and will not charge you any fees unless you are compensated for your liver injuries.
Serious Liver Injuries from Tylenol
Research has shown that the acetaminophen in Tylenol can lead to serious liver problems and potentially life-threatening liver damage. Some of the liver injuries and liver problems from Tylenol can include:
- Hospitalization due to liver injury or liver problems
- Liver transplant, and/or being placed on the liver transplant list
- Liver failure
- Death from liver failure
If you or a loved one suffered one of these injuries within one week of taking Tylenol, you may be eligible for a lawsuit against the drug's manufacturers.
Tylenol Lawsuit Allegations
It has been known for some time that acetaminophen may increase the risk of liver damage and liver failure. Despite the manufacturer's awareness of the risk of liver injury, Tylenol is marketed and labelled as a safe medication without adequate warnings to consumers.
Specific allegations against the manufacturers of Tylenol include:
- Tylenol is a dangerous and poisonous product that increases the risk of liver damage and liver failure as a result of the active ingredient acetaminophen.
- Manufacturers failed to adequately warn consumers and the medical community about the risks of liver side effects from Tylenol.
- Marketing tactics for the product increased the risk of acetaminophen overdose and liver damage by encouraging individuals to take large amounts of the drug daily.
Tylenol Class Action Lawsuit
Due to the high number of serious liver injuries from Tylenol, our Tylenol lawyers are investigating a potential class action lawsuit against the drug's manufacturers. If you suffered liver damage, liver injury, liver failure, or needed a liver transplant within one week of taking Tylenol, contact our lawyers today to see if you are eligible for a Tylenol lawsuit. There is no charge or obligation to you.
Pre-Existing Liver Conditions
If you or your loved one have ever been diagnosed with one of the following conditions we will not be able to represent you in a Tylenol lawsuit:
- Liver cancer
- Any form of liver mass
- Autoimmune Hepatitis
- Alcoholic cirrhosis
- Primary Sclerosing Colangitis
- Wilson's Disease
- Budd-chiari syndrome

ICFA Beam Dynamics Mini-Workshop on
Deflecting/Crabbing Cavity Applications in Accelerators
Deflecting/crabbing mode cavities have been proposed, designed and implemented for a number of accelerator applications such as beam luminosity increase for "head-on" collisions in high energy colliders, emittance exchange techniques and particlebeam diagnostic.
In recent years a number of high-energy synchrotron light sources have started serious R&D programs to utilize superconducting deflecting cavities for the production of short x-ray pulses based on Zholents' proposed scheme. Following the success of KEKB, CERN is pursuing the use of crab cavities for the LHC with a potentially significant luminosity increase.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers in various accelerator communities and discuss advances in the defecting/crabbing
RF cavity for accelerator applications.
Topics of interest are:
- High energy colliders (LHC, KEK-B, ILC, CLIC …)
- Generation of short x-ray pulses in synchrotron light sources
- Beam manipulations, emittance exchange and diagnostics
- Deflecting cavity design optimization
- Novel deflecting cavity design

If you're a fan of any professional sport, you've probably heard about someone suffering a concussion and having to sit out the next play, the rest of the game or even the remainder of the season. But did you know that concussions happen to plenty of non-athletes, too … and that they affect millions of children every year in the United States alone? Concussions are traumatic brain injuries that result from the brain going into a spinning motion. This is most often because of a direct blow to the head, but can also be caused by a blow to the body that snaps the head forward or backward. Sometimes, a concussion causes an immediate loss of consciousness, but a child can also appear fine at first and then have symptoms develop later. Symptoms of a concussion usually include:
These symptoms can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks after the injury. All concussions cause some disruption to the brain, and call for an exam by your child's regular doctor as well as careful monitoring.
The good news is that most concussions don't cause any lasting effects, and most children make a complete recovery with physical and mental rest. Even when concussions lead to complications, advances in concussion diagnostics and treatment make the majority of cases very treatable.
How Boston Children's Hospital approaches concussions
Children's has a long and distinguished history of caring for children with complex diseases and disorders of the brain, spine and central nervous system. Clinicians in our Department of Neurology and Department of Neurosurgery are regarded as international leaders in treating conditions that range from rare syndromes to relatively common injuries like concussions.
In addition, Children's Division of Sports Medicine is at the forefront of advocating for greater understanding of – and better treatments for – concussions and other head injuries sustained during athletics. Student-athletes are playing at higher levels of competition (and facing more pressure to return to play) than ever before. Recognizing that student-athletes of all ages are at elevated risk for concussions, the Division has established a Sports Concussion Clinic that:
Here in the Sports Concussion Clinic, we use a computerized test called ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) to obtain baseline evaluations of neurocognitive functioning (thinking, memory, concentration and information-processing abilities) in children who have sustained a concussion.
Through our state-of-the-art assessment tools, relationships with schools and coaches and multidisciplinary team approach, Children's Hospital Boston provides an essential medical perspective and outlines measurable steps for athletes, coaches and families.

While recent news coverage has focused extensively on the issue of concussions in professional athletes, the fact remains that kids get concussions, too – and not only from sports.
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that:
What happens when a child gets a concussion? Concussions usually cause:
How are concussions treated? Rest (both physical and mental) is usually the best treatment for a concussion, and symptoms typically improve within a few days and are gone within a month. After symptoms have cleared up, children can resume their normal school, home and sports routines as long as they have been evaluated and given the ok by their doctor.
How do I know if my child needs to see a specialist? It is possible that a child with a concussion will need more specialized treatment. If your child is not getting better – or is actually feeling worse – after the first few days, you should ask for a referral to a specialist.
Rarely, a child with a concussion will experience serious complications. You should seek immediate emergency care if your child:
Why is there such a focus on concussions in student-athletes? While children frequently sustain concussions for other reasons – falls or car accidents, for example – student-athletes are at particular risk. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as many as 3.8 million concussions happen each year in the U.S. during sports or recreational activities. This is especially troubling because:
Here at Children's Hospital Boston, we treat concussions with a multidisciplinary approach – combining our clinicians' expertise in sports medicine, neuropsychology, neurology, and neuroradiology. Our experts are fully equipped to assist your child – and each member of your family – at every step of the way.
What causes a concussion? A concussion is caused by the brain going into a rapid spinning motion. This most often happens because of a direct blow to the head, but it can also happen if the head is snapped forward or backward by a blow to the body (for example, a hit to the chest or facemask during sports).
What are the symptoms of a concussion? Most children with concussions will have headaches and difficulty falling or staying asleep (insomnia). They can also experience:
All of these symptoms should start to improve after a few days of rest and refraining from any strenuous physical or mental activity.
It's important for parents to recognize possible symptoms, because younger children don't always realize that what they are experiencing could be linked to a concussion. Parents should watch for any evidence of their child:
If you suspect your child may have sustained a concussion, you should always seek treatment from a qualified medical professional right away. Even if the trauma your child experienced appeared very minor – for example, a collision during a game that he quickly got up and walked away from – and his symptoms don't seem "serious," it's essential that he be evaluated by a doctor.
Q: Will my child be OK? A: Most likely, he will be just fine. The vast majority of children who have sustained a concussion make a complete recovery with no complications. However, it's crucial that a child with a concussion is diagnosed and treated properly, and that he avoids physical and mental exertion for the period of time recommended by his doctor. Some children with concussions do develop more serious complications. It might be months before they regain normal brain function and feel "like themselves" again. This is especially true of children who experience a second concussion when they have not fully recovered from their first.
If your child has suffered a possible concussion, the most important thing you can do to maximize his chances of a full recovery is to seek immediate medical treatment. Always follow prescribed recommendations for rest, monitoring and follow-up care. And, if your child plays sports, be sure to adhere to the restrictions and gradual schedule for return to play outlined by his doctor.
Q: Is a direct blow to the head the only way of getting a concussion? A: No. Concussions occur when the brain is sent into a sudden "spin," which can also happen when there's a blow to the chest or torso that causes the head to snap forwards or backwards.
Q: Which sports carry the highest risk of concussion? A: Football tends to attract the most attention in the media, but ice hockey players are just as likely – if not more likely – to suffer sports-related concussions. And virtually any sport or physical activity can result in concussions: here at Children's, we have seen patients with concussions sustained during baseball, softball, rugby, wrestling, lacrosse, soccer, basketball, field hockey, horseback riding and even swimming!
Q: Is a concussion always obvious right away? A: Most of the time, warning signs show up shortly after the initial impact. However, it's also possible that symptoms won't emerge until later (or that they will be subtle enough to be overlooked, especially if the child has also suffered a more visible injury like a fracture or laceration).
For this reason, it's a must that – even if your child has received immediate treatment from a coach, athletic trainer, school nurse or EMT, or in the emergency room – he also see his regular doctor as soon as possible. He should be monitored closely for the next few days.
Q: Is there any way to prevent concussions? Can't helmets and mouthguards stop them from happening? A: Nothing can prevent a concussion altogether. Helmets were designed to guard against catastrophic brain injuries, not concussions (and mouthguards, although very good at protecting the mouth and teeth, don't lower the risk of concussions, either.) Neck-strengthening exercises can likely reduce the chance of your child's head snapping forward or backward if he sustains a blow to the body. Talk to your doctor about recommended exercises for your child's age, size and (if applicable) the sport he plays.
Finally, if your child has already suffered one concussion, the best way to prevent another is to make sure he has recovered fully (getting plenty of mental and physical rest) and has been cleared by a doctor before returning to his normal routine, including athletics.
Q: What is chronic traumatic encephalopathy? Could my child develop it as an adult? A: Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a relatively new diagnosis. It is a rare syndrome that has been observed in some former athletes – most notably, football players – who suffered multiple concussions during their sports careers, and went on to experience severe mental health and memory problems later in life. Autopsies have revealed changes in their brains that are very similar to the changes caused by Alzheimer's disease. Doctors and researchers believe that sustaining repeated concussions on the playing field may have caused irreversible brain damage in these athletes. However, since the disease is so newly discovered, and research is still in the very early stages, it is entirely possible that other factors beyond multiple concussions were involved.
Q: What is second impact syndrome and is my child is at risk? A: Second impact syndrome happens when someone who has not completely recovered from a prior concussion sustains another blow to the head, even a minor one. For reasons that doctors do not fully understand, some of these individuals experience massive brain swelling that can lead to a coma or even death.
Although second impact syndrome has received widespread news coverage, it is a rare phenomenon. It can be avoided by reporting concussions, and being honest with medical personnel. It's always essential that a child who sustains a concussion is given plenty of time to heal and rest – and gets formal clearance from his doctor before returning to playing sports and the rest of his daily routine.
Q: Does my child need to give up sports if she's suffered a concussion? A: Most likely, no. Nearly every student-athlete who experiences a concussion can eventually return to sports – but only gradually (after getting the prescribed amount of rest), and only with a doctor's explicit permission. Talk to your child's doctor about the approach that will work best for her.
How is a concussion diagnosed at Children's Hospital Boston? Typically, we will first perform a neurological and physical exam of your child and obtain a full medical history. We will also conduct a standardized assessment of his balance and coordination, and use computerized tests to measure any effects on his neurocognitive functioning – how well his brain works when processing certain kinds of information. If your child plays sports, ideally he will have had a baseline test performed before his injury that we can use for comparison after a concussion. Here at Children's, we use a system called ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) to track a child's progress as he heals. The goal is to get him to a point where his scores match what they were before his concussion.
Because this type of testing is so precise, and gives such a clear picture of a child's neurological and cognitive functioning after a concussion, we strongly recommend that any child or adolescent who plays sports – particularly high-concussion-risk sports like ice hockey, football, rugby and soccer – be tested.

What are the treatment options for a concussion?
Rest The main part of any concussion treatment plan is rest – both physical and mental. Rest allows the brain to heal and gradually return to its normal level of function.
This means, for the time duration specified by her doctor, your child must:
Depending on the severity of her symptoms, your child may need to stay home from school for a few days. (Most children and teens will start to feel better within a couple of days, and nearly all will make a full recovery within a month – but some will take longer.) She should not read or do homework, as well as anything else calling for intense concentration, until given permission by her doctor. If your child plays sports, she will be taken out of practice and games for a designated period of time (and she will have to sit out phys. ed. class and recreational exercise, too). Only when her doctor has examined her and given her the "all clear" should she resume her normal school, home and sports routines. Read more in our "Returning to sports" section below.
Medication Although no medication can "cure" a concussion, your child's doctor may prescribe medication to help manage her symptoms, such as headaches or difficulty sleeping. Always follow the exact dosages and instructions you are given. If you have questions about any medication, or are concerned that your child may be experiencing side effects, never hesitate to call or see your doctor right away.
The most common complication of a concussion is a delayed or lengthy recovery. If your child's symptoms aren't getting any better after the first few days – or if they are becoming worse – he should see a doctor.
Rarely, a child with a concussion will experience serious complications.You should seek immediate emergency care if your child:
If your child is involved in sports, it's essential that she not resume practice or play until her symptoms have resolved, balance has been re-established and her pre-concussion brain functions have been restored. Doctors can assess her brain functions at multiple stages of recovery with neurocognitive testing, like the ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) system used here at Boston Children's Hospital.
Returning to sports after a concussion is a gradual process that takes place over a series of steps, and should always be directed and observed closely by your child's doctor. The process typically looks something like this:
1. A period of absolute rest from any and all physical activity, until all concussion symptoms have disappeared. (This may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on your child's individual symptoms and circumstances.)
2. Clearance to start light aerobic activity, such as walking or riding an exercise bike.
3. Clearance to resume warm-up activities related to the child's sport (for example, jogging on a training track or swimming laps).
4. Clearance to take part in non-contact training drills.
5. Clearance to resume resistance training, gradually upping the level of difficulty with each session.
6. Clearance to return to full-contact training/practice. This can only begin after a doctor has deemed it safe.
7. Clearance to take part in games or meets.
If concussion symptoms re-emerge at any time during any of the steps, your child should see her doctor immediately. She may need to go back to the previous step (or several previous steps) until symptoms subside and her doctor gives the OK.
It's critical that your child not rush to get back to the playing field before her brain has healed; returning too soon will increase her risk of suffering another concussion. And although second impact syndrome – caused by a concussion sustained while the brain is still recovering from a prior concussion – is rare, it can be life-threatening. Your student-athlete is undoubtedly passionate about her sport and her teammates … but nothing is more important than protecting her health. Caution and patience are vital, and you are your child's greatest advocate as she progresses in her healing. If your child's coach, trainer or fellow athletes are pressuring her to return to play, refer them to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website on concussion, or remind them of Massachusetts State Law, which prohibits the return to athletics after a concussion until written clearance from a doctor has been obtained.
How often your child will need to see his doctor for follow-up care after recovering from a concussion – and how long he will need to be monitored – depends on his individual circumstances (such as his age, the severity of his concussion, whether he plays sports) and the exact symptoms he experienced. Some children will need only standard annual check-ups, while others may require ongoing assessments and neuropsychological testing. Ask your doctor for detailed follow-up recommendations.

At Boston Children's Hospital , our care is informed by our research, and our discoveries in the laboratory strengthen the care we provide at each child's bedside. Children's scientific research program is one of the largest and most active of any pediatric hospital in the world. In particular, our neurology, emergency medicine and sports medicine researchers are yielding crucial insights into the causes and development of concussions, paving the way for the promising new treatments.
Study finds CT scans are frequently unnecessary after head injury Overall, roughly half of U.S. children taken to hospital emergency departments (EDs) for a head injury receive a head CT scan, often to ease worried parents' concerns. Yet true traumatic brain injury is uncommon. A multi-center study of more than 40,000 children with minor blunt head trauma, co-led by Children's Hospital Boston, shows that allowing a period of observation can reduce the use of head CT by as much as half without compromising care – and without exposing children to ionizing radiation.
Kids who receive neuropsychological testing after concussions are sidelined longer When computerized neuropsychological testing is used, high school athletes suffering from a sports-related concussion are less likely to be returned to play within one week of their injury, according to a study in The American Journal of Sports Medicine co-authored by Children's clinicians William Meehan, MD and Pierre d'Hemecourt, MD.
A link between head injuries and epilepsy? As doctors re-examine many of the basic assumptions and long-held understandings about concussions, research by Children's neurologist Alexander Rotenberg, MD, PhD, is shedding light on what happens on a molecular level during brain injuries.
Children's is known for pioneering some of the most effective diagnostic tools, therapies and preventive approaches in pediatric medicine. A significant part of our success comes from our commitment to research—and to advancing the frontiers of pediatric health care by conducting clinical trials.

Children's is involved in several multi-site clinical trials and studies. While children must meet strict criteria in order to be eligible for a clinical trial, your child may be eligible to take part in a study. Before considering this option, you should be sure to:
Taking part in a clinical trial at Children's is entirely voluntary. Our team will be sure to fully address any questions you may have, and you may remove your child from the medical study at any time.
Dr. William Meehan speaks about his new study about concussions in children on WGBH.com's "The Pressure To Win And New Concussion Research"
Maggie Hickey was a star athlete and scholar. But after hitting her head, she couldn't exercise or study without coming down with crippling headaches and other mysterious symptoms. "My whole life was falling apart," Maggie says. "I thought, 'This just can't be normal.'" She was referred to Children's Hospital Boston, where the Hickeys were startled to learn that Maggie's problems were due to the after-effects of a severe concussion. Read more.
