About Us
Welcome to Rethinking Complexity.
We live in a time of growing complexity, a time that calls for new thinking, new conversations, new ways of working together and new forms of organization that support continuous learning and innovation. Finding new ways to work within and across organizations and communities is critical to address current needs for climate change, resource use, social innovation and social justice.
"Rethinking Complexity" is a forum to explore these issues, examine best practices, and share critical research at the cutting edge of how organizations behave, systems change, and complexity can be managed for the good of humanity.
Produced by the Organizational Systems program of Saybrook University, Rethinking Complexity holds a system must be sustainable and support the human potential of the people it touches before it can be considered effective.
We hope you enjoy reading, and encourage you to become a part of our community.

Since 2009, 52 fire departments in the north country have received a total of $3.4 million in federal life-saving grants, according to the office of U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y.
There may be no future grants unless the House of Representatives reappropriates the program. A Senate defense bill provides the grants, which help fire companies recruit and train firefighters and purchase vital equipment, but the authorization is missing from a similar House bill.
The senator on Wednesday called upon members of the House to restore the Assistance to Firefighters Grants and the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response programs, according to his office.
Our firefighters need to know that the federal government has their backs every time they suit up and prepare to save lives, he said. For this reason, it is critical that the final National Defense Authorization Act include the reauthorization of two critical grant programs for our firefighters.
He cited Hurricane Sandy and tropical storms Irene and Lee for the life-and-death situations they presented, saying departments that received grant money were better prepared to participate in rescue efforts.
The senator made his argument in a conference call to House conferees, and was joined by Thomas L. LaBelle, executive director of the New York State Association of Fire Chiefs.
The north countrys share of grant money is dwarfed by distributions elsewhere in the state, according to the senators released statement. Since 2009, 56 Hudson Valley units have received $15.1 million, followed by 61 departments in the Rochester-Finger Lakes sector, $7.4 million; 56 companies in the Southern Tier, $7.1 million; 50 departments in Western New York, $6.9 million; 40 units in Central New York, $6.1 million, and 61 departments in the Capital Region, $5.4 million.

The Watauga High women's cross country team turned in a strong performance on Saturday at the Wendy's Invitational at McAlpine Park in Charlotte.
The WHS had three runners in the top 15 and finished third against a very talented field that included such powerhouse programs like Chapel Hill, T.C. Roberson, Mount Tabor and Myers Park.
Sam Littlejohn was 39th in the boys junior-senior race; Ingrid Forsyth was 37th in the girls race; Noah Allain was 72nd in the boys freshman-sophomore race; Dustin Hickernell was 73rd; Celia Jackson was ninth in the girls race. She covered the course in 21:43.

POTSDAM Seventh-seed Rensselaer gave the Clarkson University womens hockey team a scare in the ECAC hockey playoff opener Friday night at Cheel Arena.
But a tip-in goal in overtime by captain Carly Mercer gave the No. 2 Golden Knights a 3-2 win and a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three quarterfinal series which continues at 4 p.m. today. If Clarkson wins it will advance to the semifinals next weekend. If RPI wins there will be a deciding game at 4 p.m. Sunday.
I didnt see a whole lot, Mercer said of the play. I just saw (Jamie Lee Rattray) throw it towards the net and I just wanted to be there to set a screen and it just happened to hit me and go in. I didnt even know it went in. I hear it barely crossed the line.
Clarkson (27-8 overall) beat RPI twice during the regular season but the Engineers (10-21-4) never let the Golden Knights stay in a comfortable position throughout game one.
This was a great game here tonight, RPI coach John Burke said. We knew this was going to be a long, tough series here and our goal is to get to Sunday. I thought our kids did a really good job responding in those key situations. We are a very mentally tough team. Well be back (today).
Clarkson struck first in Fridays game when Vanessa Gagnon scored on a shot from the circle at 3 minutes, 42 seconds of the opening period.
But midway through the first period Clarksons Shannon MacAulay was called for roughing and RPI took advantage with a power-play goal by Alexa Gurschow, which was set up by a pass from Jordan Smelker, to tie the game 1-1 at 10:53 of the first period.
Especially in playoffs the game is all about momentum, so you want to keep the momentum when you have it instead of giving it back to them, Clarkson co-coach Shannon Desrosiers said. Its always easy to be the underdog. I think our team has handled it really well. Weve kind of had the bulls-eye on the back since the first weekend. I think we handled it well in overtime and we just believed. We knew wed get the job done. The game remained in the 1-1 tie until 11:05 of the third period when Rattray scored a goal while lying on her belly. She was knocked to the ice in front of RPI goalie Kelly OBrien but still poked a shot between her legs to give Clarkson a 2-1 advantage.
I have no idea (what happened), Rattray said. I kind of got tripped up and just put it to the net. I just heard the horn go off. I dont know if the goalie thought I was going to shoot it after I fell. Im glad it went in. I kind of got a lucky bounce there.
Just as it did in the first period, RPI had an answer when Clarkson took a lead and it started with another power play as Olivia Howe was called for tripping at 14:02.
The Engineers scored exactly two minutes later on a shot from Taylor Horton, but it came a second after the power play had expired.
I thought we did pretty good at being calm (in overtime), Rattray said. We got off to kind of a rough start in the beginning and then we kind of calmed ourselves down. We got back to our game and I think we got the momentum back through a power play there. All we have to do is stick to our game and thats what we did and thats what made us win the game.
I expect us to have more in the tank, Desrosiers said. I think that game could give us confidence. Im looking forward to a good effort tomorrow, but Im looking forward to a good effort from (RPI) too. They are playing for their lives.
It took nearly 71:00 minutes of hockey, but the St. Lawrence University womens hockey team got its ECAC Hockey title defense underway successfully on Friday evening. Sophomore Kayla Raniwsky scored at 10:56 of overtime on a wrap-around try from behind the net, giving the Saints a thrilling 1-0 quarterfinal game one victory over Quinnipiac University at the High Point Solutions Arena in Hamden, CT.
The Saints (18-12-5) and Bobcats (19-11-4) had played a fantastic back-and-forth game, with both goaltenders, St. Lawrences Carmen MacDonald and Quinnipiacs Victoria Vigilanti, playing brilliantly.
The game-winner came off a pass from Jackie Wand, as Raniwsky circled to Vigilantis right and poked it past the Bobcat goaltender on a second effort for her first game-winner as a member of the Saints.
Both teams piled up chances throughout the game, as Quinnipiac closed the contest with a 46-39 lead in shots on goal. MacDonald had her best performance of the year, making some incredible saves including a diving effort in the first period to rob Quinnipiac of a power play tally and a brilliant rebound stop on Nicole Connery in the second.
MacDonald earned her second shutout of the year thanks to the 46-save effort, including seven in overtime. Vigilanti continued her outstanding play with 38 saves, but came up one save short of the win.
St. Lawrence and Quinnipiac will meet in game two of the best-of-three series today at 4 p.m.

Yesterday we reported on just how poor a reaction the Bentley Exp 9F concept was receiving here in Geneva. But everyone you speak to adds a caveat to their exterior loathing, reporting that "the interior's rather nice though". We'd agree – and when the split tailgate opens up, while it's become a bit of a cliche in the luxury car space, we couldn't help notice the rather nice picnic set.
The Germans must think the British spend the few days of summer we get on the grey and rainy island in a perpetual picnicking adventure. We can add the set in the 9 F to what Rolls-Royce showed in the Phantom a year and a half ago, and the series of ones that adorned a Mini Clubman concept or two that were shown in 2005/6. All 'British' brands, now under the direction of German firms. Now where did I put my Pimms and lemonade?

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Renee Barlow was born in New Jersey, but her heart is in Range Creek.
The College of Eastern Utah curator of archaeology jumped at the chance to work at the prehistoric museum last year because she knew she would be doing exactly what she was doing when talked about the 2009 summer dig.
The site where Barlow, students and volunteers have been putting in a lot of hard work in the last two months may have initially looked like a pile of rocks and branches.
But when archaeologists started to survey the canyon for signs of ancient habitation, the site popped up due to what had ended up on the bottom of the hill on which it is located.
"I was working here with a team and other teams to locate all the sites we could find," said Barlow as she hunched over the work going on in the pit that has been uncovered since the beginning of June. "We found some artifacts at the bottom of the hill, kind of washed down there. Once we were able to really look at where they came from and dug a test pit, I knew I wanted to excavate this site some day."
The test pit happened to end up right in the hearth of the dwelling, which was long since unidentifiable except to the trained eye.
Ashes at the bottom of the pit showed there had been habitation on the site so that's the reason work has begun on unearthing it.
"So far, we have uncovered two levels of habitation. The first is about 1000 years old," said Barlow as she pointed to an upper dirt shelf in the dig. "The second, down here, is 1,200 years old. And we have found over 500 artifacts already and we aren't even close to being done with it."
Barlow indicated that there could be older levels below, but the team members won't know until they dig deeper. So far, the workers have only uncovered what she thinks is about the front third of the site.
"It looks like to me, the way the debris field is set as we have dug, there is more to this," said Barlow as she pointed about 20 feet behind where the present excavation pit is located, "It appears there was a large wall of some sort at the back of this and it got pushed down over the years and collapsed toward the front where we are working now."
That means plenty more work for the team since the overburden covering the top layer was about 18 to 24 inches under rock and dirt that has been molded together like cement.
"Who knows what we might find back there," commented Barlow.
Digs can prove a lot of things and, when logic and supposition are applied to supposition are applied to the facts, researchers get an idea of how the people who lived in an ancient structure survived.
"Look at these projectile points," she said as she held up some specimens they had collected. "This type of material only exists on Skyline Drive, in Wasatch Plateau. It migrated here in some way."
Then she held out a piece of fine turquoise jewelry and said they had found that at the 1200 year old level. A very small piece, but worked turquoise it was nonetheless.
"This came from New Mexico," she said. Pottery shards found prove that the vessels used by the people living there did not all just come from the canyon in which they dwelled.
"This one is interesting because there are two different pottery types sitting on the same floor (level)," said Barlow as she held two shards in her hands. "This is applique which is typically Fremont, and a very pretty one is emery gray pottery type. This suggests, like most of our artifacts, that these people were linked to the people out on the San Rafael Swell. This jar (referring to the other shard) which was just over this way sitting on the floor is Uintah gray which suggest trader exchange or some kind of social link to the people up in the Vernal area. Those are two different Fremont groups (trading)." The people who live in Range Creek were obviously not isolated, but in contact with people possibly clear out to the Pacific Coast.
"This appears to be a family dwelling we are digging in," she said. "This just wasn't a hunting post." Barlow then held out a round stone, so round it was probably used as a toy ball or in some kind of game.
Based on what the team is finding the people that lived here were not nomadic but fairly fixed in where they lived. They grew corn, but also hunted and the fished. When asked about how the team knew these things the whole group laughed.
"We were just discussing that this morning," she said as she held up what would look like a rock to most people. "This was found down there at the bottom of the hill on the flat. It is an ancient hoe."
Barlow also said that they have sunk a test pit in the middle of the flat and found layer after layer of ashes with soils separating them. "Obviously they would harvest, then burn to reconstitute the soil," she said.
She has submitted the charcoal found in the valley along with some pollen tests that are used to check on the age of the substances, which she is trying to tie to the habitation sites dates.
The hunting part was also known because they found dear bones in the debris.
"As for fishing we actually found some fine fish bones in here as well," she said proudly. "Fish bones seldom hold up during the time since a structure like this was abandoned. The are small and fine, but obviously they are fish bones. But we don't know what kind of fish yet."
Barlow says there are many ways including of course carbon dating (which has been done on the lower level), soil levels based on weather, and tree rings in old trees used in the structure building process. In recent years other processes have also been developed.
In 2003 when it was announced to the world that an almost completely unspoiled canyon with ancient Indian ruins existed in the Bookcliffs east and south of Price, the media of the planet descended on the town and eventually got a trip up the canyon. Many were disappointed that the place didn't look like a 17th century Mesa Verde, with huge structures under cliffs and complete pottery laying right on the ground. Instead they found sites they were told held treasures, but many of those treasures weren't obvious. Some went away grumbling, and since then the canyon gets an article here and a television special there, but for the most part the spotlight has moved onto other things.
But for the archaeologists working in the canyon today, that's okay. They can do their work quietly and succinctly, as they learn about the ancient people who once lived in a canyon the modern world calls Range Creek.
Editors note: This is the first of three articles on Range Creek and the archaeological work that is being done by the CEU Prehistoric Museum.

I needed to resample some wavefiles for a project. In first instance, I used Audacity (1.3.13-beta) running in a MacBook Pro. After finding many aliasing errors I went back to analyze the results of the resampling. Here some pics:
The results with Audacity ® 1.3.13-beta (Unicode) and Matlab are much noisier than those obtained with Praat.

Oregonians lose over $6 mil. to cyber crime in 2012
EUGENE, Ore. -- Online scams are on the rise, and according to the Internet Crime Complaint Center scammers took over $6 million from Oregonians last year.
The Better Business Bureau said that number is up from $3.5 million in 2011. Officials with the ICCC found that Oregonians over the age of 40 were the ones who lost the most money to internet phishing and scams.
On Friday, KVAL News talked to Eugene resident Kristen Smith who said she was a click away from adding her money to the millions taken by scammers each year.
Smith said a man named Frank Woods emailed her, sent her two blank U.S. Postal Service money orders and asked her to send $1,500 to someone she didn't know.
"Then Frank said, please confirm that your address is … and I did," said Smith.
Luckily for Smith, the cashier handling the money orders noticed something strange.
"They said they were not valid, although they were valid at one time but the routing numbers and stuff had been changed so they were void," said Smith.
Kyle Kavas of the Better Business Bureau told KVAL News what happened to Smith isn't all that uncommon.
"One of the biggest issues we've encountered recently are with phishing emails and those are emails that are sent out usually claiming to be from official agencies or even organizations like BBB," Kavas said.
He went on to say that the scammers hope is to get people to click on links or open up attachments that might be damaging to computer files and might actually try to coerce personal information out of victims.
One good rule to follow with online offers Kavas recommends following is if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
"We had a feeling there was something going on… it was just too easy of money … It was too good to be true," Smith said.
The Better Business Bureau said to stay safe online, users should research a company first, look at reviews, and see if there are any complaints before giving out any personal information.
Below are the ICCC's statistics on cyber crimes for Oregon. View the stats from other states.

A series of recent studies by psychologist Margaret Evans shows that children not only are learning how to spell, add, and write in elementary school, but they also are learning organic evolution. The first study demonstrated that children in their middle elementary-school years (8-to 10-year-olds) were exclusively creationists, whereas the oldest children (10.5-to 12-year-olds) were almost exclusively evolutionists, with a smaller number being creationists (Evans, 2000). So at the time when most students are being introduced to the life sciences, they also are receiving a heavy dose of Darwinism. This battle over origins takes place around the time your child or grandchild enters the fifth grade, and for all practical purposes is over when he or she finishes the seventh grade—just a mere vapor of time. But the victor of the war ultimately will control your child or grandchild's belief system for decades yet to come.
Additionally, Dr. Evans discovered that the emergence and distribution of beliefs about the "origin of species" is highly influenced by parents and school systems (Evans, 2001). During this study, children were asked questions such as "Did dinosaurs and people live on the Earth at the same time?" The study showed that 90% of students who had active parents with strong beliefs in the Creation and who attended schools that promoted similar beliefs would grow up believing that a supernatural Creator played a role in their existence. Children's natural history and religious background predicted whether they eventually would believe in evolution.
Be proactive! Make sure that you do not wake up one morning and realize that this vapor of time has completley passed you by, only to discover that your son or daughter has been caught in the clutches of godless evolution—and has abandoned his or her faith.

The Catalonian capital city of Barcelona is a city as unique as its fiery people are. Often described as quirky and chic, Barcelona is charged with vital energy and an unmistakable pride in its distinctive culture. Each day as the sun dips below the horizon, a surging tide of revelry spreads through city streets, compelling visitors to join in the festivities until the late morning hours.
Barcelona's Must-See Attractions
- Puzzle over La Sagrada Familia, a striking, unfinished masterpiece of the Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, and one of Barcelona's most notable landmarks
- Take in the city's flavor with a leisurely stroll down La Rambla, Barcelona's main thoroughfare that is bustling with activity and street performances
- Pay homage to the beauty of music with tickets to Barcelona's modernist masterpiece, Palau de la Música Catalana
Hidden Gems in Barcelona
So many of Barcelona's delights are stubbornly ostentatious, refusing to be ignored or denied. Unsurprisingly, many hidden delights lay hidden in the city's nooks and crannies. The cross-street alleys that run between Rambla de Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia contain a number of the city's best shopping destinations.
Barcelona's Pleasures
Barcelona's cuisine is second-to-none, with the luxurious Eixample and trendy El Born districts that are leading the charge of the culinary avant-garde. As night descends upon the city, people pack into the city's many tapas bars and clubs.
Plan Your Barcelona Holiday
Barcelona features a mild climate year-round; its warm summers perfectly complement Costa Brava's golden sands. When booking your flights to Barcelona, consider traveling during winter to avoid the beach-faring tourist crowds. Save money on lodgings by booking cheap hotels in Barcelona's Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter), and save on airfare with great flight deals to Barcelona on airberlin.com.

Apple's design signature has long been about minimalism, elegance, subtlety, and bulging superhero six-packs – wait, what? Oh, we're sorry. We got distracted for a moment there by one of the craziest (silliest?) iPhone 5 accessories we've seen yet. Behold the Iron Man Mark VII iPhone 5 case from Brando.
With an April release promised, this in-your-face accessory is modeled after the Marvel comics superhero Iron Man, A.K.A. Tony Stark. To be sure, this definitely won't impress iPhone aficionados who love their devices' sleek, understated design.
But it may just impress die-hard Iron Man fans. After all, its look is a pretty close imitation of the character's red and gold body armor, and it even comes with a built-in battery-powered LED arc reactor. Now that's something you definitely won't get from average iPhone cases and skins.
Though as far as iPhone cases go, it's on the low end when it comes to practicality. You've got to flip open a panel just to use the camera, and the overall design is pretty bulky and doesn't seem to have much in the way of grip.
We won't go so far as calling this fairly ridiculous case "obscene," as did Gizmodo, but we will label it as gaudy. Bulky, over-engineered, impractical and lacking in all subtlety, it goes against pretty much everything Apple strives for in designs like the iPhone 5.
However, it's more or less exactly what Tony Stark's all about. Flashy, loud and attention grabbing, it's the cell phone accessories equivalent of a spoiled, rich boy genius/self-made superhero.
Again, the Iron Man Mark VII case will only be released next month, so we can't speak to how tough this iPhone 5 accessory really is. But clad in Iron Man's armored physique, you phone will at least look strong.

Naples, 1763. The Great Ape of Posto di Forragio is on show, an exhibition to amuse jaded foreign tourists. However, there are three Englishmen who recognise that the creature is no mortal beast, but a harbinger of ancient evil from before the time of the Pharaohs-- and one which may presage the return of something thought long buried.
To prevent this, they must turn to Cousins Justine and Eliza, the mysterious representatives of the Faction Paradox-- but any dealings with the Faction Paradox always come at a price.
Faction Paradox was originally created by Lawrence Miles for the BBC's acclaimed Doctor Who series of novels.

VIDEO> Low-Familia 2010 Wörthersee
Official Wörthersee 2010 Video of the Low-Familia from Thomas Diewald on Vimeo.
Every year, droves of Euro-inspired enthusiasts come out to a little city in Austria for a fun-filled weekend of girls, beer, cars (and more beer). This year there were some amazing cars – from a first gen Volkswagen rabbit (Mk1) swapped with a 1.8t to sick Audis sitting just right on big wheels riding on Air.
I have to hand it to the Europeans, they sure know how to do up their rides – everything from getting the stance of the car just perfect to even the minute details in chrome and the polishing of every single nut and bolt. That's just pure dedication. The theme that seems to be running all throughout Europe is Air-ride. I saw it much more this year than ever before. The versatility and ride quality were just amazing – it just makes sense.
Here's a video from the guys at LOW-FAMILIA as I just happened to come across their video and thought I might share it amongst you guys to give you a sneak peek at how the Europeans do up their rides.
Big -ups to Thomas Dieweld for putting together such a sick video of the show.

GOUVERNEUR Village officials are looking for answers to why they were not informed about the state police blanket patrol coverage that took place last Wednesday.
Many in the community were alarmed when state police patrols descended on the village, stopping dozens of motorists and writing numerous vehicle and traffic tickets, mostly for minor violations, but without informing village police or St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin M. Wells.
Certainly theres concern, Mayor Ronald P. McDougall said at a village Board of Trustees meeting Tuesday. Were not anti-police. We need police protection, theres no question about that. They should be acting in concert with our village police department. Why that wasnt done, Im not sure.
Police Chief Gordon F. Ayen said he could not speak for the state police.
They did what they did, he said. They didnt call me.
Many of the tickets issued, such as for burnt-out license plate lights or obstructed vision because of a GPS unit mounted on a dashboard, seemed petty to village residents.
Some of those young officers, they must have thought they were a long way from the New York State Academy, Mr. McDougall said.
Some in the community have speculated that the roving patrol was meant to send a message that state police are weary of answering complaints from village residents when the understaffed village police force has no one on duty, although state police Capt. Michael J. Girard has said that is untrue.
Trustee Roger A. LaPierre said he was surprised to learn that the state police apart from last Wednesdays saturation patrol have taken on the responsibility of policing village streets during the midnight shift to maintain public safety. When the village cut the budget of the police department several years ago to avoid a large property tax increase, state police were asked if they could pick up the slack but said they were too busy, he said.
Im glad theyre here to help, Mr. LaPierre said. I still dont know why they did what they did. The show of force maybe startled some people.
Whether the state police are tasked or not to maintain order in Gouverneur, they should treat the village police with courtesy, Mr. McDougall said.
We have a police force, he said. Its stretched, but we have a police force.
Town Council member Harold E. Lacey, who was at the meeting, said he would rather the state police work on solving major crimes, such as the murder of 12-year-old Garrett J. Phillips in Potsdam, than write a slew of minor tickets in Gouverneur.
Theyve done this sting under the guise of public safety, he said. It makes me feel so much safer.

Earliest signs of autism identified in babies: With about one in every 150 children being diagnosed with a condition in the "autism spectrum," there's been an upsurge in autism awareness and research. New research, which finds that the earliest signs of autism can be detected in babies, will help improve screening efforts for autism. Babies who get an earlier diagnosis get the interventions they need sooner.
*Obesity and kids: What parents should understand: Why are so many kids today overweight or obese? Many factors are involved, from out-of-control portion sizes and eating on the go to sedentary lifestyles and parental uncertainty about what kids should weigh. It's important for parents to be good role models for their kids by eating well and exercising often. But beyond that, moms and dads also need to educate themselves regarding where kids should fall on a growth chart and how their child compares with peers on these charts.
*Many kids missing out on CHIP benefits: A recent study concluded what seems obvious - kids who lack regular pediatric care often don't get the medical services they need. Although it's uncertain how well current health care reform initiatives will help meet kids' needs, there is help available for millions of uninsured children via the children's health Insurance program, or CHIP. So what's the problem? Most of the 11 million eligible kids still haven't been enrolled.
*H1N1 flu pandemic affecting kids the hardest: worry over H1N1 virus has let up a bit in recent weeks and the peak of the outbreak appears to have passed, but experts caution that cases could surge again. So it's important for parents to remain vigilant and do their best to protect their families, especially since kids and teens were especially hard hit by the recent H1N1 pandemic.
*Texting and driving: just say no: As irritating as cell phone and texting proficiencies can be for "old-school" parents, they can be more than just annoying. On the road, these distractions can be deadly. One report estimates that teens are four times more likely than adult drivers to get into an accident related to cell-phone use. Another found that texting was, by far, the most potentially dangerous and lethal activity related to cell phone use on the road.
*The importance of vitamin D: Most of us know that vitamin D is crucial to bone health, but now it's been shown that insufficient levels can cause or increase the risk of developing a number of health problems. Recent studies report that about 70 percent of kids in the United States have low vitamin D levels. Traditionally, milk has been the main source of vitamin D for kids, but fewer kids now drink much milk every day. Another likely risk factor is the 3-4 hours of TV and computer time many kids get each day. Ultraviolet rays absorbed by the skin help the body make a usable form of vitamin D - so kids who are parked inside day after day aren't getting these natural "doses" of vitamin D the way kids did in the past.
*The Impact on Concussions: In the wake of head injuries among some of the NFL's most high-profile players, concussions and their treatment have become big news. Because the treatment of concussions relies heavily on symptom reporting by those who incur them rather than more obvious signs, many athletes have been encouraged to "play through" head injuries. This is especially troubling for younger athletes, in whom repeat concussions can be serious. So it's important to prevent concussions from happening in the first place and, if they do, to know the signs and how to make sure a child recovers completely.
*Pregnancy, STDs Increasing Among U.S. Teens: The CDC reports that, following declines from 1991 to 2005, birth rates among U.S. teens are increasing, and more than 25 percent of 14- to 19-year-old girls had one of four sexually transmitted diseases in 2008. And in a new study, the AAP reports that many parents aren't talking to their kids about sexual development until it's "too late" - more than 40 percent of kids already had sexual intercourse before any discussion with their parents about STDs, condom use, birth control, or what to do if a partner refuses to use a condom.
*Smoking: The U.S. smoking rate has dropped sharply, from around 40 percent in the mid-1960s to a little over 20 percent now. That's the good news. However; the American Lung Association,says each day 6,300 American kids try their first cigarette and nearly 2,000 of them will become daily smokers. Gaining traction are electronic cigarettes (or e-cigarettes), marketed as the "healthier alternatives" to regular smoking, with many brands offering free trial kits through online promotions that kids can easily access.
