Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can happen from a blow or jolt to the head, or from an object penetrating the brain.
When the brain is injured, the person who has been injured may experience a change in consciousness that can range from becoming disoriented and confused to slipping into a coma. The person may also have a loss of memory for the time immediately before or after the event that caused the injury. Not all injuries to the head result in a TBI, however.
It is estimated that at least 20 percent of U.S. troops who were wounded in our most recent conflicts have been affected by a TBI. TBI is also a significant cause of disability outside of military settings, most often as the result of assaults, falls, automobile accidents, or sports injuries.
TBI can involve symptoms ranging from headaches, irritability, and sleep disorders to memory problems, slower thinking, and depression. These symptoms often lead to long-term mental and physical health problems that hurt Veterans' employment and family relationships, and their reintegration into their communities.
VA research related to TBI is wide-ranging. Among the goals of VA researchers working in this field are to shed light on brain changes in TBI, improve screening methods and refine tools for diagnosing the condition, and develop drugs to treat brain injury or limit its severity when it first occurs.
Researchers are also designing improved methods to assess the effectiveness of treatments, and learning the best ways to help family members cope with the effects of TBI and support their loved ones.
VA's Translational Research Center for TBI and Stress Disorders, at the VA Boston Healthcare System, conducts studies to understand the complex changes in the brain, thinking, and psychological well-being that result from TBI and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These studies will lead to more understanding and better treatment options for returning Veterans with TBI and PTSD.
The department's Brain Rehabilitation Resource Center, at the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Fla., develops and tests treatments to improve or restore motor, cognition, and emotional impairments that have been caused by brain disease or injury.
At the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, the department has established a Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence focusing on mild TBI. A mild TBI involves brief loss of consciousness, or a feeling of being dazed or confused. In some cases, those who have had mild TBIs have difficulty remembering details about the injury.
VA's War Related Illness and Injury Study Center, located at the VA medical centers in Palo Alto, Calif.; Washington, D.C.; and East Orange, N.J., develops and provide post-deployment health expertise to Veterans and their health care providers through clinical programs, research, education, and risk communication. VA's Office of Public Health directs the center.
VA's Polytrauma System of Care is an integrated network of specialized rehabilitation programs dedicated to serving Veterans and service members with TBI and multiple complex, severe injuries, which is termed polytrauma. (Click here to see a map of sites within the VHA Polytrauma/TBI system of care.)
The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) serves active-duty military, their beneficiaries, and Veterans with TBI through state of-the-art-clinical care, innovative clinical research initiatives and educational programs, and support for force health protection services. DVBIC is part of the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury.
TBI, a complex type of injury to the brain structure, is common among war Veterans. It has been called a "signature injury" of modern combat.
Most TBI injuries are considered mild, but even mild cases can involve serious long-term effects on areas such as thinking ability, memory, mood, and focus. Other symptoms may include headaches, vision, and hearing problems.
Mild TBI, also known as concussion, is usually more difficult to identify than severe TBI, because there may be no observable head injury—it may have occurred at the same time as other visible injuries or wounds—and because some of the symptoms are similar to symptoms from other problems that also follow combat trauma, such as PTSD.
While most people with mild TBI have symptoms that resolve themselves within hours, days, or weeks, a minority may experience persistent symptoms that last for several months or longer.
TBIs can occur from direct contact to the head, or when the brain is shaken within the skull, such as from a blast or whiplash during a care accident. The severity of the TBI is determined at the time of the injury and is based on the length of the loss of consciousness, the length of either memory loss or disorientation, and how responsive the individual was after the injury.
Treatment typically includes a mix of cognitive, physical, speech, and occupational therapy, along with medication to control specific symptoms such as headaches or anxiety.
According to DVBIC, more than 300,000 cases of TBI were recorded among service members from 2000 to March 2014. More than 80 percent of these were non-combat related.
VA research focuses on gaining a better understanding of the brain changes that occur in TBI, refining screening and diagnostic tools, developing and evaluating treatments, and identifying coping strategies for Veterans and their families.
VA works closely with DoD on both health care and research related to TBI. DoD research focuses on the development of battlefield screening tools, combat casualty care, and rehabilitation efforts aimed at returning service members to duty.
VA, DoD, and the Departments of Health and Human Services and Education recently made public a wide reaching plan to improve access to mental health services for Veterans, service members, and military families.
The National Research Action Plan will be used to improve scientific understanding of TBI, PTSD, various conditions that are related to both TBI and PTSD, and suicide. Other goals of the plan include providing effective treatments for these conditions, and reducing their occurrence.
Among the highlights of the plan is the establishment of two joint DoD/VA research consortia at a combined investment of $107 million. These include the Consortium to Alleviate PTSD, a collaboration led by the University of Texas Health Science Center-San Antonio, and the Chronic Effects of Neurotrauma Consortium, led by Virginia Commonwealth University.
All four federal agencies will continue collaborating with colleges and universities. They will also standardize, integrate, and share data as appropriate, build new tools and technologies, and maximize the impact of existing research.
The agencies will also work together to explore markers that may demonstrate an association between genetics and elevated risk for mental health conditions. They will also work to identify possible changes in brain circuitry, confirm potential biomarkers for TBI and PTSD, and establish new data-sharing agreements.
TBI can result in brain damage that is sometimes subtle. This damage can result in changes in memory, attention, thinking, personality and behavior that are difficult to diagnose and treat. VA researchers are refining ways to reliably diagnose TBI and to predict Veterans' outcomes and care needs.
In 2012, an international team including researchers from the Boston VA Medical Center discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in the brains of four Veterans after their deaths, including three who had survived explosions from improvised explosive devices. The fourth had suffered multiple concussions in and out of service.
CTE is a degenerative disease linked to repeated head traumas such as concussions, and has been identified in the brains of football players who have committed suicide. It is possible that some of the symptoms of PTSD in Veterans were caused by CTE.
A follow-up study by the team analyzed brain tissue from 85 people with histories of repetitive mild TBI. They found evidence of CTE in 68 of them. Of the 85 people studied, 64 were athletes and 21 were Veterans, although 86 percent of the Veterans also were athletes.
Veterans exposed to blasts from bombs, grenades, and other devices may still have brain damage even if they have no symptoms of TBI,according to a study by researchers at VA's Mid-Atlantic Mental Illness Research Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC) in Durham, N.C., and Duke University. The results of the study suggested that a lack of symptoms of TBI after a blast may not indicate the extent of brain damage caused by the blast.
A study conducted by researchers at the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center found a slightly increased risk for stroke in TBI patients. This study included data on everyone who visited a California emergency department or was hospitalized in California for TBI or non-TBI trauma from 2005 to 2009—more than 1 million people, of whom 37 percent had TBI.
Over approximately 28 months, 1.1 percent of the TBI group had a stroke, compared with 0.9 percent of the non-TBI group. The researchers hypothesized that because TBI can cause bleeding in the brain, it may increase the risk for stroke.
In another recent study, a team of researchers from the San Francisco VA Medical Center and the University of California, San Francisco, looked at the records of 188,764 Veterans aged 55 years or older who had at least one inpatient or outpatient visit during both the years 2000-2003 and 2003-2012 and did not have a diagnosis of dementia on their first visit.
They found that older Veterans with a TBI diagnosis had a 60-percent greater risk of developing dementia over a nine-year period. The results suggest that TBI in older veterans may predispose them toward developing dementia and raise concern about the potential long-term consequences of TBI in younger veterans and civilians.
An ongoing study hopes to determine whether traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) increase Alzheimer's risk as Veterans age. Nationwide, approximately 1,000 Vietnam veterans will participate in screening interviews and 500 will be interviewed by telephone.
The study, called DOD-ADNI, will be funded by the Department of Defense (DoD). Its lead investigator will be Dr. Michael Weiner, a VA investigator who heads the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) at the San Francisco VA Medical Center.
Other VA researchers from the Denver VA Medical Center have established that traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a risk factor for suicide. Compared with Veterans with no history of TBI, those with such a history were 55 percent more likely to die by suicide. Within the TBI group, those who had suffered a concussion or skull fracture were the most likely to take their own lives.
Because individuals who have persistent symptoms after a mild TBI may need targeted intervention, VA established a system-wide screening and assessment procedure in 2007 to identify mild TBI in Veterans as quickly as possible.
The tool consists of questions VA health care professionals must ask all Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans when they come in for care. Veterans who screen positive are offered follow-up evaluations with specialists. VA researchers collaborated in the development of this screening tool.
In 2012, VA researchers published a study documenting findings that this TBI screening process is inclusive, and has value in referring patients with current symptoms to appropriate care. More than 90 percent of Veterans who were evaluated received further VA health care, and evaluations that confirmed a diagnosis of mild TBI were associated with significantly higher health care use.
In another study, VA researchers developed an overview of post-concussion symptoms reported by Veterans evaluated for TBI following a positive TBI screen. Of the 55,000 Veterans who received comprehensive TBI evaluations between October 2007 and June 2010, clinicians diagnosed TBI during deployment in 55 percent, with 38 percent not having developed TBI. Researchers could not determine whether or if TBI had occurred during deployment for 7 percent of the patients they studied.
VA researchers are studying the effectiveness of various existing and potential treatments for TBI and symptoms such as headaches, anxiety, and mood swings.
The latest results from a series of federally funded studies on hyperbaric oxygen therapy for mild TBI found no evidence of efficacy. The results matched those from earlier work by the VA and DoD investigators. The latest trial, conducted at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla., and involving 61 Marines, was a randomized, double-blinded sham-controlled trial, funded mainly by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Research at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System and the University of Washington has suggested that restoring levels of certain hormones, namely those made in the pituitary gland, could help address PTSD- and depression-related symptoms in Veterans with TBI.
Recently, a team of researchers from the University of Kansas, the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center in Cleveland, and Case Western University published a study in which they suggest that an artificial communication link inserted in the brain can restore functions lost as a result of TBI.
The team fitted a microdevice containing a chip into the brains of rats whose motor skills had been impaired as a result of TBI. The neural prosthesis allowed the rats to recover nearly all function. The animals were tested by their ability to reach through a narrow opening and seize a food pellet.
Rats equipped with the neural prosthesis were able to complete the task 70 percent of the time, or as well as normal rats. Without the device, the injured rats were able to reach the food only 25 percent of the time.
The findings may offer new hope not only for Veterans with TBI, but also for stroke patients, those who have had tumors removed, and others with brain damage or impairments.
Two additional studies, one of which also involved mice, indicate that two proteins may help treat or prevent TBI. The first study compared TBI effects in mice, some of which produced a protein called Hsp70 and some of which did not. (Hsp70 is a protein whose function is to help protect cells from stress.) Researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center found that mice that produced Hsp70 had smaller brain lesions, less bleeding in the brain, and fewer TBI symptoms.
The second study, also by researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, found that a molecule called LM11A-31 protects TBI-damaged nerve cells and reverses impairments in spatial memory (memory for spatial information, such as the interior of your home, or a friend's home.) Both molecules may develop into treatments for TBI-related injuries and symptoms.
For Veterans with mild TBI, adjusting to life back home can be difficult—not only for themselves, but for their families as well. In 2010 and 2011, VA researchers in Durham, N.C., treated Veterans and family members in a group to learn about mild TBI, to solve problems, and to establish life goals. The participants were surveyed about their problems, and explored their common struggles and relationships together.
Veterans and family members found this kind of multifamily group treatment for TBI to be highly acceptable—possibly because of the presence of other Veterans in the group. This kind of group therapy also showed both Veterans and their family members that they were not alone, and helped to integrate the family into the patient care process. Results of the study were published in 2013.
One of the most effective tools to manage mild TBI is a smartphone calendar app. It helps Veterans with problems remembering to do things like take their medication and buy cards for their spouse's birthday.
A team of researchers at the VA San Diego Healthcare System and the University of California, San Diego developed a 12-week program called Cognitive Symptom Management and Rehabilitation (CogSMART) to help Veterans with mild TBI to manage their fatigue, sleep problems, headaches, and stress. The program was also designed to improve attention, memory, and problem solving skills. One of the program's key tools is the use of a smartphone calendar.
In a recent study, the team found that CogSMART may improve post-concussive symptoms and memory performance (the ability to conduct an assigned task 24 hours after it was assigned.) The researchers have suggested that the program be studied in a larger trial.
VA's Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Caregiver Health (REACH VA) program provides much-needed support for caregivers of Veterans with Alzheimer's disease. It is based on the knowledge that about 80 percent of caregivers for those with dementia often lack the skills to manage troubling patient behaviors—and their own stress.
As part of the program, VA researchers worked with the National Institutes of Health and several universities to develop and test a six-month training program to educate and support caregivers of Veterans with Alzheimer's disease, and to help them develop better caregiving skills.
The material is tailored to family members based on assessments of where they need the most help. REACH VA is now being rolled out at VA medical centers throughout the nation. It is also being modified to help caregivers of Veterans with TBI and spinal cord injury.
VA researchers are continually working to better understand TBI and to improve therapies for the condition. Ongoing large-scale initiatives designed to improve the health of Veterans with TBI include the Traumatic Brain Injury Veterans Health Registry and the "New Generation" study.
The TBI Veterans Health Registry will provide military and civilian researchers with data on a large number of well-documented cases of TBI from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The registry will help evaluate and compare different therapeutic options and outcomes; compare war-related TBI to TBI in civilian patients; and examine the association of TBI with other medical conditions, including PTSD, depression, memory loss, sensory loss, and seizure.
VA's National Health Study for a New Generation of U.S. Veterans is a 10-year project to assess 60,000 Veterans, half of whom were deployed to combat areas. Some members of that group will participate in the MIND (Markers for the Identification, Norming, and Differentiation of TBI and PTSD) study. In this research, health information from Veterans who have symptoms of TBI or PTSD and a comparison group of Veterans will be analyzed to help build objective and consistent diagnostic criteria for both conditions.

Welcome to the CLA Diversity Website!
In response to concerns about disparities in mental health support for students in diverse and underserved populations (e.g., ethnic minorities, LGBT students, international students, students with disabilities, returning veterans, and low-income students), the CLA Diversity Action Committee hosted a town hall discussion on November 12, which included a panel of speakers discussing campus resources, challenges for students in diverse populations, and student perspectives on navigating campus support systems.
Topics raised at the forum included: seeking support from "someone who is like me," cultural stigmas that prevent seeking help, accessibility of services (hours, location, and eligibility), options on campus and in the community for students on limited incomes, and enhancing awareness in faculty/staff advisors and among peers to recognize when students need professional support.
Our committee is currently summarizing this discussion and will provide a report to Dean Weiser identifying the major issues and our recommendations for action. If you were unable to attend the forum or respond to our earlier survey, we invite additional comments and feedback through this anonymous form:

"Legal and arbitration costs average over US$8 million per investor-state dispute, exceeding US$30 million in some cases. Elite law firms charge as much as US$1,000 per hour, per lawyer – with whole teams handling cases."
This is a quote from the study conducted by the Transnational Institute of the Netherlands (TNI) and Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO), based in Brussels, Belgium, called "Profiting from Injustice" (attached), published in November, 2012.
One of the authors of the study, political expert Cecilia Olivet, of the TNI, was in Montevideo, Uruguay, on Friday, participating in an activity called "Free trade agreements and investments: profits for whom?", organized by REDES - Friends of the Earth Uruguay, Friends of the Earth International and TNI.
The study conducted by TNI and CEO exposes an entire system of investor-State dispute resolutions, where law firms, judges, financers and transnational corporations benefit each other. That was the focus of Olivet's presentation at the activity in Montevideo, where activists Karin Nansen and Alberto Villarreal, of REDES-FoE also spoke.
The summary of the study published at TNI's website adds: "Just 15 arbitrators, nearly all from Europe, the US or Canada, have decided 55% of all known investment-treaty disputes. This small group of lawyers, referred to by some as an 'inner mafia', sit on the same arbitration panels, act as both arbitrators and counsels and even call on each other as witnesses in arbitration cases."
Olivet has worked for years following trade issues, especially Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), Investment Protection Agreements (IPAs), the role of the ICSID (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes - a World Bank body to solve corporations-State controversies), among other issues.
The study by TNI and CEO also states that "The investment arbitration system is becoming increasingly integrated with the speculative financial world, with investment funds helping fund investor-state disputes in exchange for a share in any granted award or settlement."
Meanwhile, Alberto Villarreal, made special reference to the case of the lawsuit filed by US tobacco company Philip Morris against the Uruguayan state due to the anti-tobacco policies of this country. He also spoke about the risks of the signing of IPAs and FTAs for the sovereignty of the country (due to their chapters on investments).

Thanksgiving Dinner-Hopping Strategiesby Toby Amidor in Healthy Holidays, Healthy Tips, Thanksgiving, November 21, 2012
Are you a feast hopper– stopping by 2 or even 3 Turkey Day meals every year? Follow these tips so you can enjoy holiday favorites without feeling like you need to roll home by the end of the evening.
Strategy #1: Come Hungry, Not Starving
Arrive at your first feast famished and you'll probably end up over-stuffing yourself. You'll feel tired (turkey coma?) and can even end up with heartburn. At the next house, you'll turn down Aunt Mary's famous pie and insult the whole family (oh, the drama!). Have a small snack about 30-45 minutes before your first stop. A piece of fruit, granola bar or nonfat Greek yogurt will do the trick.
Strategy #2: Enjoy the Conversation
Instead of shoveling food with lightening speed, put down the fork and enjoy chatting with family and friends. This also helps slow down your food flow, enabling you to eat less and leaving room for feast #2.
Strategy #3: Choose Wisely
There are usually several favorites you look forward to each year. Instead of filling up on everyday foods (like bread), select small portions of 2 to 3 dishes that make the holiday special for you. This way you can enjoy the feast you're attending but still leave room to eat more at your next stop.
Strategy #4: Liquids Matter
Virgin drinks or alcoholic cocktails: they all count. Guzzling down apple cider, hot cocoa, beer or mixed drinks can put a calorie dent in your day and quickly fill you up. Instead, opt for water and save a special drink or two for your last stop.
Strategy #5: Suggest Holiday Games
A family game of chess or backgammon can help move folks away from the table—and can be lots of fun! If you're lucky to have good weather, pre-feast football game or post-feast family stroll can be very refreshing.
TELL US: What's your strategy when Thanksgiving dinner hopping?

DEFINITION of 'Stakeholder'
A party that has an interest in an enterprise or project. The primary stakeholders in a typical corporation are its investors, employees, customers and suppliers. However, modern theory goes beyond this conventional notion to embrace additional stakeholders such as the community, government and trade associations.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Stakeholder'
A common problem that arises with having numerous stakeholders in an enterprise is that their various self-interests may not all be aligned. In fact, they may be in conflict with each other.
The primary goal of a corporate enterprise from the viewpoint of its shareholders is to maximize profits and enhance shareholder value. Since labor costs are a critical input cost for most companies, an enterprise may seek to keep these costs under tight control. This may have the effect of making another important group of stakeholders, its employees, unhappy. The most efficient companies sucessfully manage the self-interests and expectations of its stakeholders.

"30. I will refuse all gifts from the Evil Overlord. They probably contain mind-control devices that would make me giddily happy to marry him. It's demeaning enough to be head-over-heels for the Hero, let alone a creep like the EO."The Damsel in Distress is in the clutches of the villain, but the villain decides that chains, cages, cells, and other ways of containment are too unreliable. The hardest chain for The Hero to break while freeing this prisoner is in the damsel's own mind. Thus the villain hypnotizes the damsel. As with Save the Princess, this need not be a princess or even a lady. The motives can be varied, but the two most common are (1) the villain wants the captive for a lover (this is easier than coercion), and (2) to make the captive betray the hero once "rescued". How the damsel is controlled can be done by straight-up hypnosis, possession or a Love Potion (for either motive). Note that this rarely works well, save for cynical enough stories. The Evil Overlord List would likely recommend this be done just to get her to cooperate in that quiet civil ceremony so you can marry her with as little fuss if possible. Anything else is just asking for trouble. Of course, Freud Was Right, and such brainwashing is inevitably Fetish Fuel for some and subject to Rule 34. Compare Hypno Fool, Stockholm Syndrome (doing this over long term), More Than Mind Control, I Have You Now, My Pretty, Hypno Trinket, The Hypnotoad.

Strategies for Rapid and Reproducible Sample Preparation for Biological Mass Spectrometry
Dr. Franco Basile
Department of Chemistry
University of Wyoming
2:30 p.m. Friday, November 21
Bruner 267
In the area of mass spectrometry advances in instrumentation have outpaced developments in sample preparation techniques. Thus, it is common to encounter experimental procedures where a biological sample needs to be pre-processed for several hours or days in order to be analyzed in less than 1 min by mass spectrometry. This situation becomes more critical in applications requiring rapid turn-around time, such as in field-portable instrumentation (bio-weapon detection) or clinical settings (rapid pathogen diagnosis). The long term goal of our research is to develop rapid and specific sample preparation techniques for the analysis of biological samples with mass spectrometry. This presentation will focus on recent work in my laboratory to prepare samples in a manner of seconds to minutes for biological mass spectrometry applications, and the preparation of bacterial samples for highly reproducible identification with mass spectrometry.

After nearly ten years of diligent CIA intelligence work, U.S. Navy SEALs tracked 9-11 mastermind, Osama bin Laden to his compound in Pakistan and killed him. It was an attack that resonated around the world and is now portrayed in the movie, Zero-Dark-Thirty. Senior Fellow Benjamin Wittes discusses the facts and the myths in Hollywood's telling of the fateful events leading to the death of the notorious al Qaeda leader.

Despite the stereotypes, most guys aren't really that handy. Which is why we need helpers like The Art of Fixing Things ($11). This slim paperback provides you with 150 tips and tricks for doing repairs — it's information that most of us are smart enough to know but never got experience doing. Helping you along are over 175 photo illustrations, so all you need to provide are the problem, the tools, and the brawn.
Get multiple projects done without multiple trips to the tool shed with the Crescent Odd Job Multi-Tool ($15). This relatively petite tool serves as a hammer, mallet, ratcheting bit driver, screwdriver, utility knife, and nail puller, all while measuring less than a foot long. The real surprise? A multi-tool on Uncrate that doesn't include a bottle opener.
Sure, there are more powerful drills — but few can go where this one can. The Bosch 12-Volt Max Pocket Driver ($80) sports a compact, lightweight design that allows it to fit into areas most drill's can't while making it easy to keep nearby on a belt loop or in a holster. Lithium-ion batteries ensure that it'll have the juice to finish the job and recharge quickly once it's over, and thanks to a motor that supplies up to 265 inch-pounds of torque, it's got more than enough muscle to tackle nearly any task.
Cordless drills are great for around-the-house chores, but they can be overkill for a lot of tasks — and keeping track of all their bits can be a pain, besides. Enter the Worx Semi-Automatic Screw Driver ($50). This crazy/handy tool comes with two rapid reload cartridges that hold six bits a piece and uses a slide action system to change the bit selection, letting you go from drilling a pilot hole to Philips to flat head in no time flat — and no bits lost.
We're not sure exactly why you'd need to be doing activities that require safety glasses without adequate lighting, but just in case you're the type of person who operates power tools in the middle of the woods at midnight, you'll want these Dual LED Safety Glasses ($18). They feature two LED lights that last up to 50 hours of continuous use on a set of batteries, clear lenses that offer a 180 optically correct viewing area, and 99.9% UV protection, because you're so likely to wear these out in the sun.
If Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor was moonlighting as a sommelier, there's no doubt he would have come up with something like the Bosch IXO Vino ($65). Combining a cordless screwdriver with a corkscrew adapter, the IXO Vino can open bottles of wine as easily as it puts together IKEA furniture, and has an integrated LED light so you don't miss the bottle when operating in darkened cellars.
If you've ever been whacked by the end of an extension cord or cable that was automatically retracting, you'll appreciate RoboReels ($280-$400). Available in portable and ceiling-mounted versions, these intelligent 360 degree-rotating cord reels use a two-speed motorized retraction system that can be started from the base or the end of the cable, ensuring a smooth, safe return for the receptacle ball, which offers three outlets, a power on/off button, three LED indicator lights, and a retraction switch.
Nothing makes a job more dull than a lack of background music, but unfortunately most job sites aren't really boombox-friendly. Luckily, the Bosch Power Box 360 ($200-$250) isn't your average boombox. Inside its rugged aluminum and rubber roll case, the 360 packs full 360-degree speakers for all-around sound, a weather-sealed media bay for your iPod, a powered USB port for charging your cell phone, MP3 and WMA support for the SD card slot, external auxiliary ports, a built-in battery bay for either charging your tool batteries or powering the Power Box itself, an illuminated LCD display, and a remote control for cranking up the music while you crank up the saw.
Stop running down your car battery just to get music in the garage and pick up the Kobalt 53-inch Tool Chest w/Pioneer Sound System ($1,700). This hulking beast of a tool chest offers killer features like LED lighting, an integrated four-plug power strip, a Pioneer sound system with remote and MP3/CD player, included drawer liners, double-walled construction, and a 2,200 lbs. capacity with casters that lock, swivel, and absorb shocks.
Streamline your toolbox with the Rockwell H3 Hammer Drill ($180). This lime green and black 3-in-1 functions as a hammer drill, rotary drill, and hex driver, and features a SDS Plus chuck system to let you switch between modes in a flash, an LED light to illuminate the work area, variable speeds, and a memory-free battery that lets you charge anytime. Now all you need is a project to work on.
Ditch that bulky wrench set and take care of your household duties using only the Black & Decker Ratcheting Ready Wrench ($26). This one-size-fits-all tool offers 16 of the most common standard and metric socket sizes, and also offers two-way ratcheting action, color-coded socket sizes for easy identification, and a lifetime warranty to ensure that it outlasts the things it helps you fix.
Have a conflagration or other job that your normal hose nozzle just can't handle? Call in reinforcements with the Nelson Fireman's Spray Nozzle ($20). Rated for pressure up to 250 PSI, the Nelson offers an adjustable spray pattern, a die-cast zinc body, a large metal shutoff handle, and 300% more water flow than a standard nozzle, which is perfect for hosing down the driveway, knocking mud off your tires, or holding really extreme wet t-shirt contests.
Keep your tools handy and your clothes protected with the Dickies Toolmaker's Apron ($16). Made from preshrunk denim or unbleached drill fabric, this simple piece of workwear sports two deep bottom pockets, a ruler or pencil pocket, a swing micrometer pocket, and brass grommets. Plus, it's under $15, so you don't have to worry too much about destroying it trying to build your next project.
Burst the bubble and step up to the C.H. Hanson Precision Ball Level ($40). This unique tool replaces the traditional bubble vial with an aviation-style floating ball that can measure and level any angle or pitch and levels in two directions at the same time, letting you go beyond the traditional square to create precise angled works of carpentry art.
No matter how many lasers, levels, and other doodads they add to normal stud finders, one thing remains constant — they're pretty much always a hit-or-miss affair. Literally. So believe us when we say that the C.H. Hanson Stud 4 Sure ($12) is the first we've used that consistently works, time after time. It requires no battery power or calibration, instead using über-powerful rare earth magnets to pinpoint the location of screws or nails in the stud — so powerful, in fact, that it will hang hands-free on the wall — leaving no doubt as to where you should be hammering or drilling. Beware searching Google for it, however, lest you find "drilling" of a whole other kind.
Whether you need to bust up an old driveway or simply want to make yourself a hole into the neighbor's bathroom for creepy, voyeuristic reasons, The Pulverizer ($45) is the tool for the job. At 3.5 lbs. and just over a foot long, it's sturdy enough to take some abuse while remaining small enough to pack along no matter what the job. Features include a industrial-grade sledge head with a 1.5-inch strike face, a two inch scraper and nail puller, a textured TPE grip, claw teeth for better grip when plying, and the strength that comes from fully-forged manufacturing.
Whether you're building a house or just putting together some Ikea furniture, there's little more frustrating than having the necessary bolt, screw, or nail fall out of your hand or pocket only to disappear forever. MagnoGrip Magnetic Work Gear ($13-$110) can help you avoid this time-waster with a variety of goods — including wristbands, nail pouches, belt clips, hammer holsters, suspenders, tool pouches, and, our tool belts (which we just put to good use) — made from rugged double-layered ballistic polyester, and featuring magnetic surfaces that hold small items securely in place until you're ready for them.

If you got a call from someone identifying themselves as Ryan Braun, what would you do? Hang up?
But the suspended Brewers star really did call a Milwaukee tavern.
Bar owner and 20-year Brewer season ticket holder, Pat Guenther got that call. He says he picked up the phone thinking it would be a prank, but recognized Braun's voice right away.
The Brewers confirmed the team provided Braun with contact information for some season ticket holders at his request.
Meanwhile the company that runs his restaurant, Ryan Braun's Grafito Restaurant says it's severing ties with him. The restaurant will change its name at the end of the contract which is at the end of the year.
