The Seasiders' wingers have attracted plenty of interest from clubs in the Premier League this season, with Ince in particular having heavily been linked with a move to Liverpool in January.
Phillips has also been the subject of interest, with Southampton thought to still be keen on the 22-year-old after they had a £5million bid rejected last August.
Despite taking up the options on their contracts, the duo still might not be at Bloomfield Road when the 2013/14 Championship season starts if the Tangerines receive acceptable offers for the pair.
Blackpool have also kept ten other players, including goalkeeper Matt Gilks and defender Craig Cathcart, while they are still in contract negotiations with Alex Baptiste, Kirk Broadfoot, Stephen Crainey, Neal Eardley, Barry Ferguson, Ludovic Sylvestre and Gary Taylor-Fletcher.
Going the other way are 13 players who have not been offered new contracts, with Ian Evatt, Craig Sutherland, Tiago Gomes and Kevin Phillips amongst those leaving.

text: Getting children immunized on time is one of the best ways to keep them healthy. April 21-28, 2012 is National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW), a time when the nation highlights the importance of timely childhood immunizations. Since 1994, NIIW has served as a call to action for parents, caregivers, and health care providers to make sure infants are fully immunized against 14 vaccine-preventable diseases. This year's theme, Immunize. On time. Every time., reminds us that babies need a series of immunizations between birth and 18 months of age. NIIW is a great time to recognize and thank the people who provide and promote timely immunizations. It's also a good time to remind parents, older siblings, and grandparents that they need to be fully immunized, as well. Vaccinating older children and adults help protect children who are too young to be fully immunized. For more information about immunization and NIIW, visit http://www.cityofpasadena.net/publichealth/childimmunization/.

The unexpected storm blew in from the Bay of Bengal late on Wednesday night.
Weather officials said wind speeds reached up to 80 kilometres per hour in some places.
The storm affected rail and air services in the state and caused significant damage in rural areas.
Officials say the district of Hooghly along the river Ganges was the worst affected by the storm and the rains.
Twelve people died in the villages of Hooghly and more than 20 were injured.
Most of the injuries occurred when mud houses collapsed and damaged electricity lines resulted in electrocution.
Two died in the hailstorm in Bankura district and more than 200 were injured, mostly hit by hailstones some of which weighed over two kilograms.
One rickshaw-puller died instantly in Howrah district when he stepped unknowingly on a damaged electricity line.
"Of the more than 500 people injured, 56 are still in hospital," senior state police official Narayan Chandra Ghosh told Reuters.
Heavy rainfall hit several other parts of the state.
Power disruption affected suburban train services from both the Howrah and the Sealdah stations.
Air services from Calcutta were also affected and one report said the roof of a shed in the domestic air terminal was blown off.
Weather officials said the high pressure trough in the Bay of Bengal had led to the depression and the rains had now cleared.

Dear Mr Mustard
On April 24 I was sitting in my car ready to drive off when a traffic warden popped up from nowhere and took a photo of the tax disc. No fine was served and stuck to the windscreen.
I received a penalty charge notice dated April 29 in the post demanding payment.
My questions are:
1) Is a warden allowed to take a photo, in this case the road tax, while the driver is in the car?
2) Is the authority right in demanding a payment even if no penalty was served and affixed to the car?
You reply and advice would be more than welcomed.
Best regards
Mr B
Dear Mr B,
Thank you for your interesting questions.
The simple answer to both questions is "Yes".
After that it gets more complicated.
In your case you are accused of parking across a dropped kerb. Even though one photograph was taken it is not available on the council website. Photographs are not compulsory but to convince the independent adjudicator that a penalty is payable there will need to be a positional drawing of your car and the kerb that was made at the time by the traffic warden. There will not be one.
The traffic warden also says that they had started to prepare a penalty charge notice. That is a question of fact that we can get them to prove. I doubt that the traffic warden had got any further than coming gleefully around the corner to find your car there and then not having more time than it took him to photograph your tax disc, so that he could make out he had performed a close and careful observation.
The drawback with a fine by post is that you don't get the opportunity for a risk free appeal whereby the council re-offer the discount if they refuse your challenge as the postal notice acts as the 'notice to owner'. Thus, for a postal PCN, you get to make one challenge and, if refused, it is straight off to the independent adjudicator at PATAS. I think we will find ourselves at PATAS quite soon as I have filed your challenge for you.
You were outside the 14 days in which to pay the 50 per cent but inside the 28 days in which to challenge and so the decision to challenge was an obvious one.
Good luck
Mr Mustard

Police: Mother flings baby to ground in meth-fueled rage:
23-year-old Kayla Neighbors of Greenwood, Indiana was arrested last week for slamming her infant to the ground while tweaked out on meth.
Her neighbors were concerned because she was screaming about dropping her baby. When her neighbors found her baby and handed it to her she looked at the baby then threw it on the parking lot pavement.
She"s allegedly admitted to police that she was on meth.
And to make matters worse she's 6-months pregnant.
The infant sustained a fractured skull.
Knowing what we know now most logical people wouldn't even smoke cigarettes while pregnant or having small children around. So just imagine the amount of sheer idiocy it must take for someone to smoke meth not only while they're supposed to be taking care of an infant but while pregnant as well.
It's too bad that meth doesn't make you sterile.
Thanks to Raven for the tip.

Then in afterhours trading the luxury electric automobile manufacturer Tesla Motors ( TSLA) reported an earnings beat, but the stock took a turn to the woodshed on a miss of what's was called analysts' whisper numbers.On Monday I wrote Earnings From AOL to Zillow Includes Tesla Today and Tomorrow where I showed four buy rated stocks out of 11 including AOL. This morning AOL and one other stock were downgraded to hold from buy. Tesla maintained a hold rating according to www.ValuEngine.com.

The Brent crude market got hit hard as we continue to talk to Iran and an early reversal of the Seaway pipeline. In Europe the reduced odds of an attack and overflowing inventory, means that we are looking at the possibility of a glut as opposed to a shortage. Add to that the fact that oil trapped in Cushing, Okla. will soon find its way down to the Gulf at a beginning rate of about 100,000 barrels a day and later to the tune of 400,000 barrels a day, so we will soon see more flexibility in Europe. While Iran may be buying more time with its nuclear program, Europe can also buy more time by building an alternative source of supply.
That will be easier as the Seaway will start shipping oil on May 17. Reuters News reported that the reversal of the Seaway oil pipeline prompted heavy transatlantic spread trading. The Seaway pipeline owners who are Enterprise Product Partners and Enbridge, plan to advance the reversal of the flow of the pipeline by mid-May, pending regulatory approval, about two weeks ahead of schedule. The reversal would help ease the glut in U.S. crude stockpiles in the Midwest as the pipeline will bring Canadian and North Dakota crude directly to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Don't cry for me Argentina! Eva Peron would be proud as the new Argentina President has moved to nationalize part of its oil Industry. Bloomberg News reports, "Argentina Seizes Oil Producer YPF, as Repsol Gets Ousted — Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner seized control of YPF (YPF) SA, the nation's largest crude producer, ousting Spanish owner Repsol YPF SA (YPFD) after a dispute over slumping oil output and investments. Argentina took over management of YPF with immediate effect, replacing Chief Executive Officer Sebastian Eskenazi with Planning Minister Julio De Vido, Fernandez said yesterday in a speech in Buenos Aires. The government will also send a bill to Congress to take a 51% stake in YPF, she said. The takeover follows more than two months of increasing government pressure on YPF after fuel imports doubled to $9.4 billion last year. The country sought to block YPF dividends and backed provincial governments when they revoked 15 oil field licenses. Fernandez also seized a $24 billion pension fund and airline Aerolineas Argentinas SA since taking office in 2007."
Things may be tough in the global economy but not so much for OPEC. According to the Energy Information Agency OPEC profits hit a record high. Based on projections from the EIA, April, 2012 members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) could earn a record $1,171 billion of net oil export revenues in 2012 and $1,133 billion in 2013. Last year, OPEC earned $1,026 billion in net oil export revenues, a 33% increase from 2010. Saudi Arabia earned the largest share of these earnings, $312 billion, representing 30% of total OPEC revenues. On a per-capita basis, OPEC net oil export earnings reached $2,684 in 2011.

The former Chelsea manager says that a move back to England once he leaves the Bernabeu "is clear in his mind", and refuses to rule out any club as his next destination
The 49-year-old left Chelsea in September 2007 following an alleged falling-out with Blues owner Roman Abramovich, but has long been tipped to return to England once his spell with the Blancos runs its course.
"When I speak about it in Spain, they turn my words immediately, but I cannot deny what is clear in my mind," he told Sky Sports.
"After Real Madrid, England. That's for sure, but I keep saying on the same thing, I know clearly it's where I want to be."
The former Porto and Inter boss also made it clear he would be open to managing any top-flight outfit, despite his strong ties to Stamford Bridge.
He added: "Everyone [is an option]. I am blue. I am a London blue but I am professional."

Pennell underwent surgery on Wednesday for a fractured ankle and is set for six months out of action with a estimated return for the play offs in March.
Worcester Warriors would like to thank supporters for the many messages of support that have been received for Chris Pennell and will ensure that all are passed onto him.
"It's a cruel blow for him," said Head Coach Richard Hill. "He has had these kind of problems before he has already spoken to me and told me he will be back.
"Chris is a young man and I know a number of players that have had these kind of injuries. Some people are lucky and recover quickly and I know he will come back stronger.
"He was conscious and talking and what I noticed was how extremely positive he was straight away. He told me not to rule him out.
"Up until that point of the game it had been a decent performance, but what happened with Chris was so disappointing.
"We have other good players in Tom Arscott and Willie Walker, we are blessed with the back three and this injury means opportunities for other players. But for now all our thoughts are with Chris and we wish him all the best."

The simplicity, power and beauty of monochrome is often underrated. The classic pairing of black and white is probably one the easiest, yet bold trends this season. While Marc Jacobs experimented with stripes and graphics, we saw polka dots, patterns, solid colors splashed with emblems, prints and so much more in the market. This Fashionisto caught my eye as he walked down the corridor with the confidence of an artist, wearing a shirt with dolman sleeves, which he later revealed, was picked up from the women's wear section at ASOS.
Name : Anurag Dubey
Major : Fashion Designing
Year : Senior
CollegeFashionista: How would you describe your personal style?
Anurag Dubey: My sense of style is sort-of inspired from punk. I try to not make it mainstream and contemporize 'punk' based on what I see in magazines or on television, giving a very next-door look to it. I don't like accessorizing much, the most I will wear is a wrist band, maybe.
CF: Any recent trend which has changed your style statement to a large extent?
AD: Since I am obsessed with punk, I like keeping my head shaved from both the sides. That's one style I am gonna carry forever. I think I'm gonna keep it always!
CF: What is the must-have in your wardrobe?
AD: Basic black fitted jeans.
CF: What have you recently added to your wardrobe?
AD: I have started wearing a lot of crewneck T-shirts and shirts, crop T-shirts. I also have started to like scarves.
CF: Favorite brands to shop at?
AD: ASOS, Forever 21 Men and Zara for wardrobe staples.
How To: Looking to rock your monochrome look this season? Pair a well-fitted clean black jeans with an ombré print monochrome T-shirt or a color-blocked T-shirt and a nice pair of sneakers/ loafers. A pair of black jeans will probably last you forever, so its a good investment!

Jimmy Fallon is still in his first week hosting The Tonight Show but he's already accomplished the impossible: He made Brian Williams look cool.
Fallon and his writing staff are getting late-night street cred for assembling the video of the NBC News anchor performing the hip-hop standard Rapper's Delight, which aired on Wednesday night's edition of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Originally released in 1979 by the New Jersey trio The Sugarhill Gang, Rapper's Delight is generally acknowledged as the song that introduced both hip-hop and rap music to the general public.
And even 35 years later, there's hardly a person alive unfamiliar with the song's opening refrain: "I said a hip hop, the hippie, the hippie to the hip-hip hop and you don't stop."
But for the briskly funny Tonight Show version, Williams didn't even have to step into a recording studio.
Dozens of old clips of Williams on NBC Nightly News were pieced together to make it appear that Williams was actually rapping the catchy song.
The same editing technique was also used to make weekend NBC anchor Lester Holt trades rap rhymes with Williams, and Today host Kathie Lee Gifford also makes a brief cameo appearance.
So far, Williams hasn't weighed in on his rapping performance but it's most likely he'll approve. This is the man, remember, who once hosted Saturday Night Live and parodied his own self-importance on an episode of 30 Rock.
Moreover, Williams knows how to roll with the punches in the TV business, and he certainly knows how to properly make amends on-air.
Before the airing of the Rapper's Delight clip, Williams issued a semi-serious on-air apology to talk-show host Arsenio Hall for not including him in a Brady Bunch-themed montage of late-night stars.
The promo aired earlier in the week on NBC Nightly News and was created to promote Fallon's arrival on The Tonight Show.
On Wednesday's early-evening edition of NBC Nightly News, Williams told viewers, "Arsenio is a late-night veteran and he took us to task on his show. He even urged audience members to call our newsroom…" Williams assured Hall: "It won't happen again."
Earlier that same day, Hall chastised NBC Nightly News for omitting him from the promo during a taping of the recently resurrected The Arsenio Hall Show.
Hall told his studio audience: "If you're doing a story about late night, all I ask is that you mention me. You don't even have to use a photo. I know how journalism is these days – use Samuel Jackson – it doesn't even have to be my photo. Use Laurence Fishburne. Just mention me."
Hall, of course, was referencing the recent imbroglio in which veteran Los Angeles entertainment anchor Sam Rubin mistook Jackson with Fishburne during a live TV interview.
Hall also told his audience that he's the only remaining talk-show host "who competed and survived against Johnny Carson" (the original Arsenio Hall Show aired from 1989 to 1994) and urged viewers to call into NBC Nightly News.
As the punchline, Hall told his viewers, "I hate to be the angry black man, so I have an angry black man who's going to stand in for me."
Hall then brought out Suge Knight, the imposing former CEO of Death Row Records known more for his multiple arrests and prison stints than his music accomplishments. Knight is currently founder and CEO of Black Kapital Records.
Playing his badman role to the hilt, Knight glowered appropriately. "You are West Coast. We are going to give them so many days, so many hours [to respond]," he said to Hall, much to the studio audience's delight.
Hall then turned back to the camera and said, "We might just be kidding, Brian. You know, sometimes I take the joke too far."
But if Hall really wanted to take the joke too far, he'd convince Suge to sign Williams to a recording contract.Report Typo/Error

Chuck Rawle
Landscape Artist
he came to art later in life than most, Chuck Rawle has been making up for lost
time by working hard to hone his skills as an artist.
It started as a pastime and soon became a passion.
When Chuck decided to take up oil painting, he sought out the best
instructors available. By studying
with the best and applying the lessons learned diligently, Chuck has arrived at
his own interpretation of the infinite beauty of nature.
without exception, fine artists insist on working from life whether they are
painting still life, landscapes, or figures.
For Chuck there is no acceptable substitute.
When it became apparent that working from life was the best way to paint
convincing landscapes, Chuck began painting outdoors at every opportunity while
working full time in another occupation. Because
of the time constraints of his job, Chuck began looking for ways to increase
his painting time. With the support
of his wife, they sold their home, bought a recreational vehicle, and began
traveling to those locations that offered inspiration and subject matter for his
landscape vision.
the last few years, Chuck has painted in most of the western states and the
Canadian Rockies. Painting outdoors
almost everyday has contributed even more to his education than the workshops.
Nature is indeed the best teacher, and a demanding taskmaster.
Combining fulltime RV living with fulltime painting was a perfect
lifestyle for a developing landscape painter.
With an abiding love of the great outdoors and a passion for painting,
Chuck feels he has the best of both worlds in a gratifying and stimulating new
When Chuck puts his brush to canvas, he wants the
viewer to be transported with him to some of the most magnificent scenery.
He expects the viewer to feel the sun on his face, relax with the
tranquility of placid waters, revere the majesty of towering mountains, sense
the dampness of a muggy afternoon, or the clarity of clean mountain air.
Such an experience gives us all an emotional connection to the beauty of
our world. And that connection is
how art enriches our lives. Creating
such enrichment gives Chuck immeasurable satisfaction.
addition to galleries, Chuck's award winning work can be found in several
prestigious juried shows.
His work is also available at Collectors Covey in Dallas,
Insight Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX, the Germanton Gallery in Germanton, NC, and the
Brookwood Gallery in Brookshire, TX.

Postgame Quotes - March 10, 2012
Pistons vs Raptors
Toronto: Dwane Casey | James Johnson
Pistons Head Coach Lawrence Frank
(On start of Game) "I thought our guys came out with phenomenal intensity. The defense was leading to transition opportunities; put great effort in to the game to set the tone. They (Pistons starters) started the game the way we started the third quarter. I thought they were very, very good from start to finish. Our guys gave a great effort from our part. A lot positives to build on, we have shown that we can win at home. We've put together four in a row at home, nine of the last twelve. Now we have a great opportunity to go on the road and see if we can continue to build."
(On Pistons guards attacking): "Regardless of who we play, we don't adjust from that standpoint. It is a consistent thing. Our backcourt with 39 points and 15 assists did a phenomenal job setting the tone. They did a lot of good things because a lot of those attacks are either in transition or our bigs setting good screens. We had a real good pick-and-roll game going, very good intent in terms of turning the corner. The ball was moving and sharing, but it all started with good defense. This is our third straight game of holding a team to 86 points or less. Holding a team down to 40 percent (shooting percentage) and to win on the road there are certain things you have to do, you have to defend, rebound, and you have to have low turnovers."
(On good shooting) "Sometimes guys get in rhythm, the ball is moving and there are rhythm shots. The key is getting easy baskets. I think we had 20 fast-break points at halftime, so you are getting out on the break, shooting shots at the rim, which then builds confidence. It's like anything else. I'm not a golfer, but you start making those little puts all of a sudden you start hitting those drives a little bit better."
Pistons Guard Rodney Stuckey
(On last three games) "Our team is stepping up and we just focus and we continue to get better. One day at a time, one practice, one game, we keep getting better as individuals, now we just need to get some wins on the road.
(On this game being a building block in backcourt): "Absolutely. We've got good chemistry. He's (Brandon Jennings) amazing. He can shoot the ball, he takes the right shots and I'm glad to have him as a teammate."
Pistons Guard Ben Gordon
(On focus in second half) "We just wanted to make sure we came out and had as much energy as we could. The first game (at Toronto) we didn't play with all the energy that we could, so this game we made sure we were focused on that and made sure we were all around the court and when the game was over we could say we played as hard as we could."
(On getting the ball into the paint) "That's what we want to do every night. It doesn't matter who it is; just try to attack and try to live in the opposing team's paint. (Rodney) Stuckey and the rest of our guards did a great job just penetrating and basically putting a lot of pressure on their defense."
(On what sparked him today): "Just helping my teammates. They were getting me open, setting good screens and putting confidence in me and me just being aggressive from the start of the game."
Raptors Head Coach Dwane Casey
(On the loss) "I'm shocked that we came out with that kind of effort. This team played last night. There was no defensive focus. There was no screening. There was no fundamental that we executed tonight on both sides and I'm shocked. We walked out there like we won 20 games in a row with no sense of purpose. We can use every excuse. We had different rotations, Andreas (Bargnani) coming back, Jose (Calderon) went down. Whatever the excuse is it's not allowed."
(On Andreas Bargnani's minutes) "He (Andreas Bargnani) just got his minutes. He got close to being fatigued once the game got ahead. There was no use of him getting out there and getting hurt or re-injuring that situation."
(On fixing lineup) "We got to come up with something. We have JB (Jerryd Bayless), we have Forbes (Gary) at the point, LB (Leandro Barbosa) can slide over but we'll figure it out."
Raptors Forward James Johnson
(On losing Jose Calderon) "Another piece we're going to be missing. Hopefully he can come back soon but in this league no one is going to feel sorry for us so we got another guard. He can step up and hopefully Gary Forbes can continue how he finished off today."
(On lack of effort) "They just outworked us. I don't know whatever they did but we came in and you might think that people are focused, but out there it looked like we were tired actually. We hadn't accomplished anything that we wanted too. All the things we went over film about we didn't do. We got to give a lot of credit to Detroit; they made a lot of shots. They figured out our defense pretty well and they did what they did out there."

Generic Name: naltrexone (nal-TREX-one)
Brand Name: Revia
Revia is used for:
Treating alcoholism and narcotic (opioid) addiction in adults, as part of a complete treatment program. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Revia is a narcotic antagonist. It is thought to work by blocking the effects of opioids (eg, heroin, narcotic pain relievers). It has also been shown to decrease alcohol consumption.
Do NOT use Revia if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Revia
- you are currently dependent on narcotics or you are having withdrawal symptoms from narcotics
- you are taking narcotic pain medicines (eg, codeine), opioid medicines to treat narcotic addiction (eg, methadone), or a lab or medical test shows you have opioids in your system
- you have hepatitis or liver failure
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Revia:
Some medical conditions may interact with Revia. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) to naloxone or to an opioid pain medicine (eg, codeine)
- if you have kidney or liver problems
- if you have a history of mental or mood problems (eg, depression), or suicidal thoughts or behavior
- if you are taking disulfiram
- if you have been opioid-free for at least 7 to 10 days before you start Revia. Your doctor may perform a test (naloxone challenge test) to see if yo have narcotics in your system before you start Revia. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Revia. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Methadone, narcotic pain medicines (eg, codeine), narcotic cough/cold medicines, or certain medicines used for diarrhea because their effectiveness may be decreased by Revia. Withdrawal symptoms may also occur if you are physically dependent on opioid medicines.
- Thioridazine because side effects such as sleepiness and sluggishness may occur.
- Medicines that may harm the liver (eg, acetaminophen, methotrexate, ketoconazole, isoniazid, certain medicines for HIV infection) because the risk of liver side effects may be increased. Ask your doctor if you are unsure if any of your medicines might harm the liver.
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Revia may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Revia:
Use Revia as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Revia may be taken with or without food.
- If you miss a dose of Revia, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do NOT take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Revia.
Important safety information:
- Revia may cause dizziness or drowsiness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Revia with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Carry identification to alert health care providers that you are taking Revia. You can get a medication card from your doctor to use for this purpose.
- Do not take narcotics (eg, certain cough and cold products; opioid pain relievers, such as codeine; heroin) while you are using Revia; you will not receive any effect from narcotics. Do not try to overcome this effect by taking large doses of narcotics. Taking large doses of narcotics may cause serious injury, coma, or death. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- Patients who no longer take Revia may be more sensitive to narcotics. Even low doses of narcotics may cause serious and life-threatening effects in these patients. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Revia before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Revia may interfere with certain lab tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are taking Revia.
- Lab tests, including liver function, may be performed to monitor your progress or to check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use Revia with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 18 years old. Safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Revia while you are pregnant.

Changes to the Luxembourg value added tax (VAT) law, effective 1 August 2015, include provisions to address the practical implications of transactions within the VAT-free zone—particularly regarding the implementation of optional measures. One of these measures aims at preventing double taxation in situations when the goods leave the VAT "suspension regime" (i.e., the regularization of VAT and imports of goods subject to VAT).
The law also concerns VAT with respect to imports of collectors' items and antiques. Law n° 6713 amends the Luxembourg VAT law and aims at promoting the "arts sector." The measures are intended to enhance a favorable environment for art-related transactions through various measures. For instance, the law modifies and enlarges the scope of the "margin scheme" for the supply of second-hand goods, works of art, collectors' items and antiques to organizers of public auction sales. Moreover, and following a trend observed in the European Union, the reduced VAT rate (8% as of 1 January 2015) now applies to imports and intra-Community acquisitions following an import by the taxpayer of collectors' items and antiques.

The Texas Supreme Court on Oct. 5 appointed 12 people to serve on a task force to help implement the loser-pays bill's directive about expediting some civil suits through the courts.
The Task Force for Rules in Expedited Civil Actions plans its first meeting in late October, and it must finalize its recommendations for the high court by February 2012, says Thomas Phillips, the task force's chairman and a retired Texas Supreme Court chief justice.
House Bill 274, which became effective Sept. 1, instructs the court to create rules to "promote the prompt, efficient, and cost-effective resolution of civil actions." The rules will apply to civil suits that claim damages not exceeding $100,000. The law says the rules must address the need for lowering discovery costs and expediting suits through the justice system.
"The direction from the Legislature is clear: This is something that's supposed to be quicker and cheaper than the current civil case that goes all the way through the process today," says Phillips, a partner in Baker Botts in Austin. He notes, "The principal issue to be resolved is: How streamlined do you make this process, in order to make it more accessible and affordable, while at the same time making it fair?"
He says the task force would seek input from lawyers and judges and examine other states' rules to expedite civil suits.
Justice Nathan Hecht, the high court's liaison to the task force, notes that the group will review two proposals for the rules created by the State Bar of Texas Rules Committee and by the Texas chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates.
Hecht says the high court hopes to get public feedback about the new rules in the summer of 2012 and it wants to implement them before the Legislature convenes in 2013.
He says there's been a trend around the nation and in Texas towards fewer trials, as people choose to resolve disputes through mediation or arbitration instead of the courts. He hopes the rules for expedited trials will "bring trials back into the courthouse" by making them shorter and less expensive.
"It will be good for the trial system; it will be good for public justice; it will be good for training trial lawyers. It really holds a lot of promise," Hecht says.

Understanding food additives
From food coloring to food preservatives, Americans eat roughly six to nine pounds of chemical additives a year. How much do you know about what you're eating or packing in your child's lunch?
We all know that healthiest choices for ourselves and our families are the most "clean" foods, such as fruits and vegetables.
But, chips and soups are staples in the American diet, as well. And while baked chips are seemingly better for you, unwanted fat has been removed from the snack, which can hinder your body's ability to absorb essential vitamins, possibly causing cramps and gas.
So there's a lot to know about food additives, the list of which grows every year, with nearly 3000 substances recognized by the Food and Drug Administration. Food additives change the color of our breakfast and add to the shelf life of our foods.
But, according to researchers, this long list of additives comes with a price. Some of the top added ingredients to watch for are sodium nitrate and nitrites, which you'll find in pre-packaged meats.
Alec Smith, a registered dietician, recommends we avoid is nitrates or nitrites. "It is usually at the end of the list," he said. "It can be carcinogenic." As an alternative, "You can actually find deli meats that are the same price, pound-for-pound."
Other additives to watch include caramel coloring, found in soy sauce and chocolate-flavored products.
The verdict is still out on artificial sweeteners. Dieticians say real sugar is better. But then you see an additive like ascorbic acid, which sounds scary, but is really just vitamin C.
Suggested Links
"One of the most important things to look for is the ingredient list," said Smith. If you see a long list, "That should be a red flag,' he said. "And, then there are some you should ignore altogether. Number one, there is transfat. Transfat will be shown on the label. It's mandatory. Or it will be listed as hydrogenated oil."
The FDA has a long list of additives on their website.
But you're best to discuss your diet with your dietician or doctor.

How Cardinal Newman Handled the Haters
Today I'm posting at Ignitum Today on how one of the Church's most brilliant men dealt with slanderous attacks against him:
In January 1864, the Protestant pastor and novelist Charles Kingsley reviewed an English history book for Macmillan's Magazine. The review began innocently enough. Kingsley critiqued the author's handling of English figures like Mary Tudor and Queen Elizabeth. However, it quickly devolved into potshots against Catholicism and against one of its most ardent supporters, John Henry Newman. Newman was not yet Catholic, though he was on his way to converting in October 1845. However that didn't stop him from being grossly offended by Kingsley's remarks. This one hurt the most:
"Truth, for its own sake, had never been a virtue with the Roman clergy. Father Newman informs us that it need not, and on the whole ought not to be."
To translate into modern parlance, Kingsley basically said: "All priests are liars and Newman is the worst." Or into leetspeak: "Newman's a n00b."
So how did Newman respond? Well, the same way any of us would. The internet is flooded with slander and personal attacks—if you doubt that, go on Facebook and comment on any religious or political issue—and the typical response is to fight fire with more fire. If they dish it out, you serve it right on back. Newman was of the same mindset, so here's how he responded.

Beards of Endurance
Many an endurance athlete have sported the beard, yet for some the facial real estate is occupied only for a fleeting moment. Few last only as long as the expedition from which they were conceived, some last a little longer, and others have been immortalized by the photograph. Those bold enough to share them with us have now garnered names for their facial fixings that help us to distinguish the Beards of Endurance. What's your style?
The Krar
Projecting with force and flow. The Krar, named after its father and ultra runner, Rob Krar, stylishly presents its wearer as fashionably wise and incredibly fast. Those that choose to sport The Krar must be willing to seek out adventure and dedicate their likeness to the betterment of the ultrarunning image. Be warned though, two Krars at one event has not yet been tested, and may in fact prove too explosively competitive, somehow dominating the top one, two and three positions.
The Robbins
This bush of facial mastery actually gets more lively with adventure, demonstrating that it does in fact have its own personality. The Robbins, proudly presents its Scottish roots through its reds and auburns, gleaning its name from Gary Robbins, the ultrarunner/adventure athlete who makes his home in B.C. Although The Robbins is not for everyone, those that are fortunate enough to sport this look, unknowingly boost the adventure-fun-factor of those within its general vicinity.
The Donato
Groomed and ready to go, yet seemingly juxtaposed to the lifestyle of the adventure athlete, The Donato takes its name from Simon Donato, co-star of the show Boundless. This "all business" beard has hidden, adventure empowering fullness and acumen that is as strong as its style and purpose.
The Gregoretti
Command of the face, with love and embrace. The Gregoretti romanticizes the union of adventure and european lifestyle. It is born of the same Stefano Gregoretti, the Italian ultra racing deity (see V6I4 of Breathe Magazine) and I2P ambassador. To effectively sport The Gregoretti one must also have an aptitude for sculpting the body through routines of punishing, yet passionate exercise. To put it mildly, this one only works with chiseled abs, and pecks that you could rest a single malt scotch on, while running.
The Probst
A thick reddish covering with sun bleached highlights that provide warmth from the crisp mountain air, while charging trail via bike or foot. The Probst takes its name from Daniel Probst, an ultrarunner that calls Washington state home. The Probst, gives its wearer that sought after outdoorsy image, but it comes with great responsibility: its wearer is expected to be steward to the environment and a proponent of the ultra lifestyle.
The Kilham
Classic Kiwi facial bristles. This style of beard works only with a full flowing New Zealand moustache, and works even better with fluorescent zinc. The Kilham is named after its father Rohan Kilham, an adventure athlete and outdoor aficionado who calls the New Zealand outdoors his playground. Those that choose to grow the Kilham must stay true to its roots and seek adventure wherever and whenever possible.
The Turbo
Falling just outside the realm of "beard," the Turbo is like a booster pack for your chin. This ballsy chin adornment takes its name from its father Paul "Turbo" Trebilcock, co-star of Simon Donato of the Show Boundless. For this to work it is required that tufts of gray-white follicles blast downward from the lower lip area and streams of positive, adventure empowering personality, roll off the tongue.
These are only a few of the Beards of Endurance. Many more are out there, adventuring in the backwoods, collecting morsels of food and good times. If you know of others that need mention please let us know on in a comment below, on our Facebook page, or tweet to @BreatheMag #BeardsofEndurance

Geronimo! As we gear up for Friday's prequel and trailer of this year's Doctor Who Christmas special, the BBC have released the first official still of the Doctor – new costume and all!
As part of the BBC'S annual charity telethon Children In Need, a special two minute prequel to the yuletide episode will air on BBC One throughout Britain this Friday evening. Later that night, fans will be treated to the first full trailer – and presumably the long-awaited title.
After Amy and Rory bowed out in the series 7 part 1 finale "The Angels Take Manhattan", the Doctor will meet new companion Clara (played by Jenna-Louise Coleman, who appeared as the seemingly linked Oswin Oswald in "Asylum of the Daleks") in a Victorian themed episode starring Richard E. Grant as the adventure's mysterious villain.
To whet our appetites for Friday's footage feast, the BBC have released the first official image from the prequel. In the picture, we see the Doctor has got himself a new outfit after the loss of the Pond's. While the bow-tie is still present, it's otherwise all change as Eleven dons dark colours and furry collars in a costume oddly reminiscent of the time period he'll be visiting…
Check out the image below, courtesy of the BBC.
Aside from that, there's a new, exclusive preview trailer of the Christmas Special that includes the first glimpse of the Doctor with his new companion… Both items will be on BBC One on Friday, 16 November and will be available to view online soon after their Children in Need premiere.
The Christmas special will air (unsurprisingly) on Christmas day in both Britian and the United States, with BBC America following its recent trend of broadcasting new episodes on the same day as their British premiere.

CHINA has given global climate change talks an unexpected shot in the arm, offering for the first time to make its carbon emissions target binding, a move to encourage firmer action from developed nations.
China insisted its target - one of the most ambitious of the 190 countries at the talks in the resort town of Cancun - would remain voluntary. But chief negotiator Xie Zhenhua said: ''We will have binding targets … You can be assured that our voluntary emission reduction efforts will be honoured.''
China has committed to cutting its carbon intensity - the amount of carbon it emits per unit of GDP - by 40 to 45 per cent on 2005 levels by 2020.
However, Beijing insists that developed nations committed to cutting emissions of heat-trapping gases under the 13-year-old Kyoto Protocol must move to a second round of commitments when the initial agreement expires in 2012. A Foreign Ministry spokesman later expanded on the comments, suggesting that Beijing's target could become binding under the UN's Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Huang Huikang said: ''We're willing to compromise. We're willing to play a positive and constructive role, but on [the issue of Kyoto], there's no room for compromise.''
Mr Huang said China was willing to create a special resolution to legitimise its target. ''We can discuss the specific form. We can make our efforts a part of international efforts.''
But he added: ''Our view is that to address these concerns, there's no need to overturn the Kyoto Protocol and start all over again.''
The pitch created a flurry of interest at the beginning of a second week of talks. They are expected to intensify with environment ministers joining negotiators to find resolutions on a range of issues.
The world's other big polluter, the US, which never ratified the Kyoto rules, has argued that the protocol's targets should be scrapped in favour of a universal commitment to cut emissions.
Other Kyoto signatories, Japan, Russia and Canada, are pushing for a separate agreement covering all nations.
Rich countries also want agreement on a mechanism to verify those cuts undertaken in the fast-developing economies of China and India.
China's offer essentially amounts to a dual-track approach on emissions, under which 40 or so developed nations remain bound by Kyoto to meet specific targets. Developing nations, meanwhile, could volunteer targets that would be captured under the convention more generally.
Since last year's contentious UN talks in Copenhagen, countries accounting for about 80 per cent of the world's emissions have submitted targets.
The US has pledged to cut carbon emissions by 17 per cent on 2005 levels by 2020, a target that Energy Secretary Steven Chu reaffirmed on Monday, despite uncertainty following America's mid-term elections.
So far the talks, which are being played down by negotiators determined not to overinflate expectations, have proceeded amid general goodwill. One negotiator described the mood as ''much more consensual''.
Australian Climate Change Minister Greg Combet was locked in negotiations after being asked to lead jointly with his Bangladeshi counterpart discussions on financing measures to help developing nations adapt to the effects of climate change while reducing their own emissions.
■The author of a widely cited study of climate-change economics for the British government has said China will have a cap-and-trade system to limit its emissions by about 2015 as the world's biggest polluter takes a lead role in developing clean energy.
''There will be cap and trade in China within four or five years,'' said London School of Economics professor Nicholas Stern. China wants ''to win the green race, and good luck to them'', he said in conjunction with the Cancun climate talks. ''This is the kind of green race that we need.''
China, which is studying a cap-and-trade program to establish a market in pollution allowances, will help drive a new ''industrial revolution'' of low-carbon technology, he said.
The European Union, which runs the world's biggest emissions market, was helping China set up a similar system in about eight cities, an EU climate official said yesterday.

Thomond Park (map it)
Cratloe Road, Limerick County
Limerick, Ireland
Year Opened: 1940
Capacity: 25,600
There are no tickets available at this time.
Official Review by Trevor Keane, Stadium Journey Regional Correspondent
If old Lansdowne Road, now the Aviva Stadium, is the home of Irish Rugby then Limerick is Rugby�s spiritual home with Thomond Park its temple.
Rugby is a large part of life in the South West of the Country, with Limerick able to boast three teams in the country�s domestic league, not bad for a County with just over 90,000 people.
Thomond Park is the home of Munster Rugby and the jewel in Limerick�s and the rest of the province's crown.
The multipurpose stadium has hosted International Rugby matches in both Union and League as well Republic of Ireland International Football matches, the Special Olympics opening ceremony and concerts from some of music�s biggest names including Bob Dylan, P!NK and Elton John.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
Unlike most sporting events held in Ireland, Rugby benefits from licensing laws which allow it to serve alcohol at games. Beer is served within the ground in kiosks and outside the stadium in the Bohs and Shannon bars.
Inside the stadium the kiosks serve Guinness, lager, hot whiskeys, tea, coffee and fizzy pop drinks.
A Guinness would cost in the region of �5 euro and along with the lager is served in a plastic cup. On previous visits to the Stadium alcohol was not allowed into the stand however on my most recent trip to a game this did not seem to be an issue anymore.
Snack food such as chocolate, crisps and Sandwiches are also available inside the stadium while outside burgers, chips (fries), hot dogs and other hot food are available from independent vendors. A beef burger costs �5 euro.
A more worthwhile culinary experience on a match day would be to sample the pig in the stick which can be found outside the Curragower pub on the banks of the Shannon River. Again for the magic sum of �5 euro fans can sample the finest slowly cooked Pork in a bread roll.
A rather loud "Shhhhhh" rings out through Thomond Park when a penalty or conversion is being kicked and the respect shown to home and opposition players is one of the reasons that fans love a visit to Limerick.
A re-development of the ground completed in 2008 means that 25,600 fans can now enter the turnstiles on a match day and while the East and West Stands are amongst the best you'll see in any sporting venue, for the true rugby experience the terrace is where you want to be.
Only here can you hear the grunt of the players as they engage in a scrum or the ever so polite questioning of a referee's decision by a team captain.
Munster fans know their rugby and whether it's in the stand or the terrace every tackle is felt and every decision questioned in tandem with the players.
The ground is often used by Limerick sides UL Bohemians and Shannon hence you have a "club" bar for each through the main gate. The "Bohs" bar was part of the recent developments and as such is more modern than its Shannon counterpart although neither lack in atmosphere pre match.
Thomond Park is situated in the North of the City nestled in suburban housing estates 2 kilometres from the centre of the City. The area is a build up housing community that lacks top class bars and restaurants. Fans typically meet in the Shannon or Bohemian's bar pre-game although the Ardhu and Curragower, both within a fifteen minute walk of the stadium, have good atmospheres and are lively watering holes before and after a game.
Munster fans are renowned for their love and knowledge for all things rugby and are amongst the most passionate you will find in the oval balled game. Visiting teams and fans are treated with the utmost respect, no more so evident during the hush that descends over the ground with an opposition number ten is taking a place kick.
After the game Munster fans are renowned for their banter and willingness to engage in friendly discussion on the outcome of the game.
In terms of access there are two main aspects that strike you. The first one is that it is easier to move around inside the stadium than it is outside it. The main entrance leads into the West Stand and this is where you find the ticket collection point, not to mention the two main bars.
Fans based in the East stand and Terrace must go back out the main entrance to go down towards the City, a short walk of less than a minute. The North Terrace is easier as you can access from the main entrance and it's at the back of the ground. Admittedly you can access the East Stand this way too.
The toilets in the stands are large, easy to access and clean. As with any event expect a queue at half time and full time. The same would apply to those wishing for half time refreshments.
Parking around the ground is limited however with Park and Ride facilities based in four areas of the city all commuters are catered for.
The Park and Ride facilities are based in Kilmurry Lodge Hotel, the Radisson Hotel on the Ennis Road, the South Court Hotel in Raheen and in the Woodlands Hotel in Adare.
There is also a bus service from Henry Street in the town centre although for the most health conscious, the twenty minute stroll out from the City takes you past one of Ireland's most famous monuments, the Treaty Stone, which is worth a visit on its own merit.
A visit to Thomond Park is a must for any Rugby fan, especially for a Munster game. Tickets to a game costs between �20 euro for a terrace pass and �30/�40 for a stand ticket excluding booking fees.
If you are in Limerick for a weekend or have sufficient time before a game, subject to opening times, a visit to the museum complete with stadium tour is a must. The tour showcases the proud heritage of Munster Rugby and offers fans the chance to visit areas of the stadium typically reserved for players, management and officials.
An interactive experience, the tour also gives fans the chance to practice their line out skills.
Given its multi use functionality it's no surprise to learn that the Stadium can be used for Weddings, Communions, Confirmations and conferences and it's this flexibility which generates year round use of the venue.

geography correction
Limerick is in the Mid-west of Ireland, on the west coast, so how rugby in the South East of ireland has any bearing on Thomond Park is not at all clear.

TORFAEN is to hand over control of its education department in the wake of its damning Estyn report.
The move will be proposed by council chief executive Alison Ward at a meeting of full council on June 25, a decision which will also see Mark Provis' current role of chief education officer made redundant and he will be taking leave until a decision is made at the end of the month.
Torfaen's education department was placed into special measures at the end of March after failing to make enough progress on recommendations made by the schools' inspectorate Estyn.
In an e-mail to councillors, seen by us, Ms Ward said: "I will be recommending that the council should consider transferring its statutory duty for school improvement to the Education Achievement Service (EAS).
"This will result in a fundamental change in the role of chief education officer (CEO) and will mean that there is no need for the post to continue in its current form; I will therefore also be recommending to council that the post be made redundant."
Torfaen has been a lead authority in the EAS, which was set up is a partnerships between the five Gwent authorities - Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Newport, Monmouthshire and Torfaen - last summer with the aim of sharing expertise and resources to raise standards.
Ms Ward's e-mail continued: "Mark Provis, the current Chief Education Officer, supports this change as the logical next step in the authority's commitment to securing greater capacity to support school improvement at a regional level.
"It is also his view that the planning for the future delivery of the wider Education Services in Torfaen is best undertaken by those who will be engaged long term with these services.
"He has every confidence in his colleagues' capacity to respond effectively to this challenge and in the schools' commitment to working in partnership with them."
Ms Ward said senior education officer, Dermot McChrystal would lead the education senior management team in the interim and herself and Brian Mawby, cabinet member responsible for education will "keep close oversight of the work of the education service and provide any support and guidance that is required."
Cllr Mawby and Ms Ward will bring an initial report on the proposals to overview and scrutiny committee on June 18, when members views will be sought.
The EAS was created last summer but officially got to work in September and has been boosted by £1 million of Welsh Government money.

Software Morphs Into A Service!
We got the big trend right: Enterprises would increasingly deliver software as an online service. The moniker back then was "application service provider" rather than cloud or SaaS provider. But we hear about the same benefits almost 15 years later: Customers can implement software-as-a-service more quickly than on-premises versions and focus more on producing business results and less on managing software. What's surprising in retrospect is two of the main vendors that were touting this movement: Oracle and Microsoft. "All the major software companies are going to have to become ASPs," said Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. Microsoft's Steve Ballmer envisioned desktop and collaboration software becoming a service "over time." Salesforce.com formed that year, but it would be another five years before it bagged a 1,000-subscriber customer. Spotting long-term trends is one thing; knowing when they'll take off is another.

If Unemployment Drops, Will Obama Win? [Poll]
Peter and I got into a disagreement after the show. Peter thinks that if unemployment drops below 8% by June then Obama is sure to win re-election. I don't think he has much of a chance even if unemployment drops. What do you think?

Acne designer Jonny Johansson found inspiration for his fall 2010 collection, show yesterday in London, in his children's current obsession—"The Clone Wars" cartoons. Hours spent watching Star Wars videos and playing with character figurines had its impact on the Stockholm-based designer as seen in his current science-fiction-meets-utility collection. Models (with metallic painted foreheads) wore sand-colored jumsuits, rugged leather jackets, and deconstructed patchwork coats along with oversized track pants and metallic bangles worn as ankle cuffs. Very chic little galactic warriors.

Yeah, I don't feel great about this one.
Printable View
Yeah, I don't feel great about this one.
Officials letting them play so far. I love it.
No, this officiating does suck. There is zero definition to what constitutes a foul vs what does not. First 5 mins was call everything (see also: Hulls picks up 2 quick fouls). Now nothing is called. Zeller getting hacked, no calls.
Christian Watford really is one of the most disappointing players in IU history. I keep waiting for him to have that DJ White epiphany. It's not going to happen.
Some seriously lazy ball on offense.
Watford is a poodle in a Great Dane's body. Does everything half-assed, and does it 15+ feet away from the basket.
This ****ing ***** Gatens is kiling us. Mother****er.
White never played like watford. He may have been hurt at times or grown into his game but he was never as soft as watford.
I thought White had a realization like that and played a lot harder later in his career. His attitude change got him in the NBA. I want Watford to have a similar epiphany, but I doubt he will.
Madison Square Garden.
gets the juices flowing, huh?
'Zo's Volunteers seem to be coming on, too, though to late for the Big Dance. Throw in maybe Butler, and it would be a pretty decent Final Four.
A 20 win iu team with wins over uk osu mich notre dame is not missing the tourney
Andrae Patterson is a better comparison to Watford...
Man, had no idea how to attack the zone and got completely worked over physically. It's definitely been our downfall in B10 play - lack of length, strength, athleticism inside.
They need to work with Zeller in the offseason on developing jump hooks with both hands. Maybe just a left hand period around the hoop. All would really make him more effective around the rim.
Glad they made 20 wins and are likely in the tournament. No complaints. However, I think they've about shot their wad. Lot of holes to patch in terms of quickness/athleticism over the next couple years. Hopefully, recruits will live up to the hype.
A bad loss for sure but this team is progressing nicely overall. People that get bent out of shape over this loss need to understand that IU is not a Final Four, top 15 team but is no longer a laughingstock in the conference or nationally.
At the very least, we should beat NCCU and Purdue at home, if we win a game or two in the tourney in Indianapolis (which will basically be a home environment for the Hoosiers), then we will still likely end up something like a 4 seed and probably no lower than a 5.
I wad talking to someone about IU and I just thought "they are a lock for the tourney BUT their great wins are almost negated by some bad losses..." how does IU beat UK and OSU but lose to Iowa? That's got to be frustrating.
Let me make this clear, as of right now, we are the only team in the entire country that has beaten Kentucky...the...only...one. Combine that with our other good wins (vs OSU, vs. Mich, vs. ND (on a neutral court), @NC St.) they are not even close to being negated by our bad losses.
Iowa walloped Michigan at home as well. Don't know why everyone seems to be forgetting this. That was anything but a guaranteed win. We are 5th right now in what is regarded as the most difficult conference in America. We have 20 wins, and while this shouldn't matter it does, we are Indiana.
We would have to lose every game left on our schedule and our first tourney game to not get in and even then we would still probably get in as a 9 seed or a 10 seed.
Fortunately, we tend to play better on a neutral court than a true opposing court. Otherwise, we'd be a lock first-round out in the tourney.
A meh performance over a mediocre mid-major school. 21 wins is nice- at least we are back to respectability and should stay there for the foreseeable future.

Our Concussion Main Article provides a comprehensive look at the who, what, when and how of Concussion
Medical Definition of Concussion
Concussion: A traumatic injury to soft tissue, usually the brain, as a result of a violent blow, shaking, or spinning. A brain concussion can cause immediate but temporary impairment of brain functions, such as thinking, vision, equilibrium, and consciousness. After a person has had a concussion, he or she is at increased risk for recurrence. Moreover, after a person has several concussions, less of a blow can cause injury, and the person can require more time to recover.
