The summer of 2012 marked the third consecutive year in which the monsoon season caused widespread flood damage in Pakistan. The 2010 monsoon pushed the Indus River over its banks and carved an alternate channel. The 2011 rains led to floods in the southernmost part of the country. In 2012, the monsoon caused significant damage to irrigation infrastructure west of the Indus River.
These images show part of that irrigation infrastructure. Both images show flood conditions, but flood waters shifted between September 19 and October 5, 2012. (For a view of non-flood conditions, see the natural hazards image from September 1.)
Acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite, these images use a combination of visible and infrared light to increase contrast between water and land. Water varies in color from electric blue to navy. Vegetation is bright green, and bare ground is pink-beige. Clouds are pale blue-green and cast shadows. The irrigation infrastructure can be identified by its straight contours. In the more recent image, flood waters have receded in the northwest but increased around Hamal Lake.
Compared to conditions in 2010, significant flooding did not occur along the Indus River in 2012. Instead, floodwater pooled along levees and canals, according to the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). Pakistan's Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) reported that the country experienced two bouts of seasonal monsoon rain in 2012. The first episode occurred in late August. The second occurred over southern Pakistan in early September, affecting parts of Punjab, Balochistan, and Sindh.
In fact, the PDMA reported, the 2012 monsoon rains arrived late and brought less precipitation than usual, but intense rainfall in September still caused widespread damage and casualties. Local news reports described especially heavy rainfall in Sindh Province and overwhelmed irrigation structures. On October 8, the PDMA reported a total of 451 deaths, 2,884 injuries, and 269,755 people in relief camps throughout Pakistan. The hardest-hit province was Sindh, with 258 deaths, 2,421 injuries, and 264,691 people in relief camps.
Besides the heavy rainfall, preexisting damage to the country's irrigation infrastructure might have played a role in the 2012 floods. Dath Mita of the U.S. Foreign Agricultural Service cites the long-term accumulation of silt in Pakistan's irrigation infrastructure. "Flood events tend to increase siltation and compromise the engineering integrity of the structures, and therefore the 2010 and 2011 flood events may have contributed somewhat." But he cautions that prior floods cannot be confirmed as contributing factors in 2012 without on-site inspection of the flooded sites.

A pedigreed race shoe with a responsive forefoot that pushes you forward, the adidas adizero adios 2 features minimal cushioning and a firm ride.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree with the adidas adizero Adios 2. Already off and breaking records, this shoe beats the last marathon world record set by the original Adios. Now featuring a more cushioned forefoot, this shoe is great for speedwork and uptempo training days. The fast, flexible midsole is super light and gives excellent rebound on the road. The adios 2 will take you anywhere you want to go.
Model Number:
Weight: 7.0 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: Heel (24mm), Forefoot (15mm)
Available Widths: B=Medium
How It Fits (based on width B)
The adizero Adios 2 is a minimum featured, minimum neutral shoe intended for racing, speedwork, and daily training.
Comments: I have had this pair of sneakers for one week and absolutely LOVE them! This is my third pair of the adios and by far my favorite. Still lightweight,(big plus for me), but seems to have more support than previous generations. Was able to run a 10k,( on a treadmill), the very first day I got them. I've never been able to do that w/o breaking them in a little. Buying from R W was a big plus, also. 15% cheaper with the price, and free shipping. I got my sneaks 2 days after ordering! I will definitely be a return customer!

"I LOVE these wedges!! The olive color is different and the stud accents give them a cool edginess. I wear an 8 and that was the size I purchased, even though other consumers said that they preferred a larger size.Mine fit perfectly and they are comfortable, despite the height. I have been looking for the perfect pair of wedge sneakers with a high heel height larger than 2.5 inches and I am SO happy to have found these, which are about 4.5 inches.They can go with tight leather pants, skinny jeans or even a skirt or dress. They are so cute and they make my feet look so small and dainty.I definitely feel like Rock Royalty in them. Score!"

Attractive Shoe - Runs Short!
"First of all I love the look of the shoe and the wedge is perfect! However I normally wear a size 6.5 and decided to order a half size up....I should have ordered a full size up. I love the other pumps in the same style and I will be ordering a size 7.5 a full size up from my normal. Very stylish and comfortable and looks great with skinny jeans. Must have!"

The Green River Pirate Basketball team spent the past week in heated basketball action. The Pirates had a playin game on March 4 at Green River High School Gym. The Pirates put the team from Piute out of contention with a win. This win qualified the Pirates to move on to the 1-A State Tournament held in Cedar City at the Centrum.
The Pirates were defeated in their first game of the tournament which dropped them into the consolation bracket. The Pirates won their game on Thursday which kept them alive to play on Friday.
Their Friday opponent was the West Desert Hawks. The Hawks jumped out to an early lead and were up nine to six with 4:58 left in the first quarter. Gabrin Ekker hit the three pointer and brought the Pirates tally up to 10. The Hawks answered with four points of their own and the score stood at Green River 10 and West Desert 13 with 2:06 left in the first quarter. Bowman Mitchell came alive with the hot hand and added two quick points.
At the end of the first quarter Green River was behind 14-17. Ekker put in two points at the beginning of the second quarter. Kevin Keele put in two foul shots to boost the Pirates to 18. The Hawks added a bsket of their own and the score stood at Green River 18 and West Desert 19 with 6:34 left in the second quarter. Ekker hit a three to tie the score at 21s with 5:44 left in the second quarter. The score was again tied at 23. Ekker converted on another three to put the Pirates in the lead.
A turnaround jumper by Mitchell added to the Pirate total. Kody King added a shot to bring the score to Green River 30 West Desert 23 with 3:27 left to go in the second quarter. Ekker was fouled and hit two foul shots. Green River maintained the lead and was up 39-32 at the half.
Green River came out smoking in the second half and quickly went up by 12 points. The Hawks battled their way back and were down by 52-43 at the end of the third quarter. Some questionable calls of traveling on Green River players brought the Hawks back even closer and with 6:19 left in the game the score was 52-47 with Green River hanging on to the lead.
The Pirates clung to a three point lead with 5:08 left to play. West Desert put up some tough defense and connected on their side of the floor. With 4:20 left to play the Pirates were still up by two points. Green River was not to be denied as Ekker and Mitchell each added two points. With 2:35 left to play the Pirates were 57 and the Hawks were 54. The Hawks took a time out to think about it.
Green River inbounded the ball under their basket and Mitchell put the ball up for a quick two points. With 2:14 remaining the Pirates were up by five points. Kedric Bayles put in two points to bring the score to 61-54. The Hawks began fouling to stop the clock but the Pirates were accurate with their foul shots and kept their lead. The final score was Pirates 64-Hawks 58.
This win led Green River into their Saturday matchup against Duchesne who had defeated them in the region tournament. The Pirates were out for revenge and ended up defeating Duchesne 57-50. The Pirates were the consolation champions and finished 6th in the state.

Sad in South Carolina
"I was really excited to receive these shoes. But, true to other reviewers they were tight across the top. I would have tried to stretch them, but they weren't even cut from the same part of the leather, or fabric, or whatever. They didn't match at all. First I didn't want to be too critical, but one has lots of the color design on the top and the other is almost colorless. They are going back as soon as I read the I instructions to send them back. Not only did I waste my money, but I wasted the shipping cost and tax too."

EAC maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form, which voters can use to register to vote and update their registration information. The form is available in seven languages.
EAC also provides voter guides in 11 languages and a variety of links to helpful resources for voters relating to registration, military and overseas voting, accessibility, and volunteering as a poll worker.
HAVA mandates that EAC accredit voting system test laboratories and certify voting equipment, marking the first time the federal government has offered these services to the states.
EAC is committed to running the program in a transparent manner, releasing voting system test plans and reports for the public to review and posting detailed information about the voluntary voting system guidelines, program policies, and related correspondence.
One of EAC's top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. We do this by issuing guidance, advisories and best practices to help officials comply with the Help America Vote Act and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.
EAC administers federal funding to improve the administration of U.S. elections as authorized by the Help America Vote Act. The commission also manages discretionary, competitive grant programs authorized by HAVA, including the HAVA College Program to recruit college students to serve as poll workers and the HAVA Mock Election Program, which supports activities to educate secondary students in the electoral process.
EAC is responsible under the Help America Vote Act for collecting information about election administration issues and sharing that information with Congress, election officials and the public.
This section contains completed research and reports commissioned by EAC, information about EAC research in progress, and additional elections research issued by other organizations. Datasets are also available to download.
Voters can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address, or register with a political party.
The National Form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.
EAC streams a live webcast for all public meetings, which are archived and available for viewing 24-hours a day in our webcast archive.
Use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update your registration information with a new name or address, or register with a political party.

The Election Center is conducting six accessible voting workshop seminars to help election jurisdictions of all sizes to prepare for an anticipated rise in the number of voters with disabilities. Each day-long session will have the same content.
Schedule: Chicago (Nov 12); San Francisco (Jan 30); St. Louis (Feb 13); Seattle (March 7); Washington, DC (March 18); Minneapolis (April 10).
For details on how to participate, see the Research Alliance for Accessible Voting (RAAV) Seminars BROCHURE or visit the Election Center website. The seminars are made possible through a grant by EAC.
Background: In FY 2009 and FY 2010, Congress provided funds to the EAC to develop a research program to continue to support accessible voting technology. In September 2010, EAC awarded a $500,000 grant for the Military Heroes Initiative to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF). Read more about it here. In 2011, EAC awarded $7,000,000 to support research on technologies and approaches to meet the challenge of making voting accessible for all eligible voters. Grants were awarded to ITIF and Clemson University. The Election Center, on behalf of Clemson University, conducted four RAAV training sessions in 2012 to receive input on the issue of voting accessibility.

This is mild and delicious! I live in Japan, land of soy sauce! But hard to find tamari without the wheat. Lovely flavor, have to use more liberally than the local soy as the flavor isn't as strong.
This is mild and delicious! I live in Japan, land of soy sauce! But hard to find tamari without the wheat. Lovely flavor, have to use more liberally than the local soy as the flavor isn't as strong.
I love it! Great taste and value for money:
Posted by SimenM on May 16, 2012
The fact that when you pour the tamari and spirnkle it over your food and it comes in desirable and controllable quantities and not like the niagara falls perhaps gives some clues to the ethical standard behind this product. Taste is great too. Love it! Highly Recommended!
Excellent Product
Posted by Reviewer1854889 on Feb 25, 2009
I'm very pleased with Eden Foods Organic Tamari Soy Sauce. I didn't know what to expect it to taste like but I wanted to try a soy sauce without GMO or MSG ingredients. This soy sauce tastes great! We love Chinese foods and can now prepare them more often without worry. I will definitely reorder when I run out.
Very Good!
Posted by Reviewer3126648 on Oct 10, 2012
Lovely flavor.
Posted by Reviewer2712597 on Apr 08, 2008
Tamari soy sauce is so much better than regular soy sauce. I t has like a smoky flavor and not too salty. Better for you as well.
excellent gluten-free soy sauce
Posted by Reviewer2695538 on May 20, 2008
I am gluten-free & it is very difficult to find gluten-free soy sauce. This is excellent....good quality, the delivery was superb and fast!!
A great alternative!
Posted by Reviewer2910193 on Mar 10, 2011
I wanted to buy a better soy sauce than the one I could get i Norwegian stores, which I fear is full of GMO. Tamari/gluten free is available, but let's just say even paying to get this shipped to Norway, saves me money... A good, clean soy sauce taste, used it for everything I used the old soy sauce for, and it works great! Will continue to buy this!
Has a light flavour, definitely less salty.
Posted by Reviewer1620513 on Sep 24, 2010
Nice to get something that isnt made from GM soybeans!
I love this soy sauce!
Posted by Reviewer2082424 on May 29, 2011
I live in a country where soy sauce is plentiful ( I mean a whole isle dedicated to soy sauce) yet none of them is as healthy as Eden Foods, Organic Tamari. You can definitely taste the difference. I'm over heavy salty soy sauces.
Organic Tamari Soy Sauce
Posted by Reviewer1148213 on Dec 29, 2008
This is the best soy sauce I have I had. And it is wheat free, so I can enjoy gluten free Chinese and Thai food with this sauce.

Very CuteSuper cute headband, comfortable, versatile, and the price is reasonable...my only complaint is that the silk ribbon on top can slip off the band pretty easily, as it's attached only on the two ends of the headband. Just be careful when putting on and removing headband and you'll be pleased.Dec 6, 2011Whit / SeattleHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Rider's Bits Make For Lovely AccessoriesWith the caveat that this would have earned 5 stars if I'd received almost any other color (and taking exception to a TINY flaw, which I'll describe later), this VIP Reviewer is very impressed with both the look and feel of the France Luxe Small Bit Headband. I received the Hot Pink in 100% silk charmeuse with a gold rider's bit detail which rests off-center on the headband. The bit stays in place with the help of a thick length of silk folded through the bit loops, which is layered over still more silk, covering the headband, itself. With fully padded tips, the headband stays in place in your hair, but never feels like it's squeezing your scalp; in short, it fits perfectly.
On the inside surface of this hand-crafted headband, you'll notice a label, which says, "L. Erickson USA". I had to find out more about this name, and discovered that Laurie Erickson is the founder of France Luxe, and her name appears on this headband as part of an exclusive line handmade in the United States.
I admit that with my dark brown hair, this hot pink headband looked just right, but keep in mind that Folica offers seven different colors in this classy but simple style if you're looking for something a little less "hot", because this is a very bright pink. It's perfect for all hair types from thick to fine, since it holds lightly but firmly in place. However, I did notice a very tiny flaw -- the loops and bars of the decorative bit are held together by a "jump ring", which is a simple metal ring that is supposed to form a closed circle, often used in jewelry to hold different pieces together. The jump ring on this headband was slightly open; though it wasn't about to separate, it looks like it might. If you do receive a headband with a slightly open jump ring, use either needle-nose pliers or, if you have them, round-tipped pliers to easily close the ring.Oct 22, 2010Mireille L.HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Sports-related Head Injury
Updated August 2014
Although sports injuries contribute to fatalities infrequently, the leading cause of death from sports-related injuries is traumatic brain injury. Sports and recreational activities contribute to about 21 percent of all traumatic brain injuries among American children and adolescents.
Traumatic Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as a blow or jolt to the head, or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. TBI can result when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue. Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate or severe, depending on the extent of damage to the brain. Mild cases (mild traumatic brain injury, or mTBI) may result in a brief change in mental state or consciousness, while severe cases may result in extended periods of unconsciousness, coma or even death.
The 4th International Conference on Concussion in Sport held in Zurich, Switzerland in 2012 defined concussion, a subset of mTBI, as the following:
Concussion is the historical term representing low velocity injuries that cause brain 'shaking' resulting in clinical symptoms and that are not necessarily related to a pathological injury. Concussion is a subset of TBI and will be the term used in this document. It was also noted that the term commotio cerebri is often used in European and other countries. Minor revisions were made to the definition of concussion, which is defined as follows:
Concussion is a brain injury and is defined as a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by biomechanical forces. Several common features that incorporate clinical, pathologic and biomechanical injury constructs that may be utilised in defining the nature of a concussive head injury include:
1. Concussion may be caused either by a direct blow to the head, face, neck or elsewhere on the body with an "impulsive" force transmitted to the head.
2. Concussion typically results in the rapid onset of short-lived impairment of neurological function that resolves spontaneously. However, in some cases, symptoms and signs may evolve over a number of minutes to hours.
3. Concussion may result in neuropathological changes, but the acute clinical symptoms largely reflect a functional disturbance rather than a structural
injury and, as such, no abnormality is seen on standard structural neuroimaging studies.
4. Concussion results in a graded set of clinical symptoms that may or may not involve loss of consciousness. Resolution of the clinical and cognitive symptoms typically follows a sequential course. However, it is important to note that in some cases symptoms may be prolonged.
To view peer reviewed literature related to sports concussions, the Sports Concussion Library can be found here.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) tracks product-related injuries through its National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS).
According to CPSC data, there were an estimated 446,788 sports-related head injuries treated at U.S. hospital emergency rooms in 2009. This number represents an increase of nearly 95,000 sports-related injuries from the prior year. All of the 20 sports noted below posted increases in the number of injuries treated in 2009, except for trampolines, which posted 52 fewer injuries in 2009. Sports that exhibited substantial increases from 2008 to 2009 included water sports (11,239 to 28,716*), cycling (70,802 to 85,389), baseball and softball (26,964 to 38,394) and basketball (27,583 to 34,692).
*Four categories were tabulated by the AANS in the current analysis that were not reflected in the 2008 injury data analysis, but together, these account for only 1,397 injuries.
The actual incidence of head injuries may potentially be much higher for two primary reasons. 1). In the 2009 report, the CPSC excluded estimates for product categories that yielded 1,200 injuries or less, those that had very small sample counts and those that were limited to a small geographic area of the country; 2). Many less severe head injuries are treated at physician's offices or immediate care centers, or are self-treated.
Included in these statistics are not only the sports/recreational activities, but the equipment and apparel used in these activities. For example, swimming-related injuries include the activity as well as diving boards, equipment, flotation devices, pools and water slides.
The following 20 sports/recreational activities represent the categories contributing to the highest number of estimated head injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms in 2009.
Cycling: 85,389
Football: 46,948
Baseball and Softball: 38,394

Additional Sports Facts
Over time, professional and amateur boxers can suffer permanent brain damage. The force of a professional boxer's fist is equivalent to being hit with a 13-pound bowling ball traveling 20 miles per hour, or about 52 times the force of gravity.
According to the Journal of Combative Sport, from January of 1960 to August of 2011, there were 488 boxing-related deaths. The journal attributes 66 percent of these deaths to head, brain or neck injuries; one was attributed to a skull fracture.
There are boxers with minimal involvement and those that are so severely affected that they require institutional care. There are some boxers with varying degrees of speech difficulty, stiffness, unsteadiness, memory loss and inappropriate behavior. In several studies, 15-40 percent of ex-boxers have been found to have symptoms of chronic brain injury. Most of these boxers have mild symptoms. Recent studies have shown that most professional boxers (even those without symptoms) have some degree of brain damage.
Cheerleading has changed drastically in the last 20 years, with increasingly difficult acrobatic stunts being performed. A number of schools at the high school and college level have limited the types of stunts that can be attempted by their cheerleaders. Rules and safety guidelines now apply to both practice and competition.
According to cheerleading data from the CPSC, in 2010, head and neck injuries accounted for 19.3 percent of total cheerleading injuries. Additionally, in the 2010-2011 school year head injuries were associated with 1579 concussions, 361 contusions, and 2,292 internal injuries; neck injuries accounted for 118 contusions, 16 fractures and 1,301 sprains/strains.
In its Catastrophic Sports Injury Report for fall 1982 through spring 2011, the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research at the University of North Carolina (UNC) noted that there was one direct high school cheerleading catastrophic injuries during the 2010-2011 school year. 1. A high school cheerleader collided with another cheerleader during practice and was elbowed in the temple. The result was two skull fractures, seizures, and a medically induced coma. Recovery at the time was incomplete.
UNC also reports that college cheerleading was not associated with any direct injuries during the 2010-2011 school year.
A 2009 study by the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital yielded the following head-injury statistics:
A 2012-2013 RIO study by the Nationwide Children's Hospital yielded the following statistics about high school cheerleading:
1. Cheerleading yielded 0.73 injuries per 1,000 athletic exposures in the 2012-2013 school year.
2. Injuries to the head/face accounted for 36.5 percent of all cheerleading injuries in the 2012-2013 school year.
The National Cheer Safety Foundation also offers comprehensive resources and safety information specific to cheerleading, including news articles such as this.
Every year, more than 500,000 people visit emergency rooms in the United States with bicycle-related injuries. Of those, nearly 85,000 were head injuries in 2009. There are about 600 deaths a year, with two-thirds being attributed to TBI. It is estimated that up to 85 percent of head injuries can be prevented through proper usage of helmets, such as those approved by The Snell Memorial Foundation, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). It is essential that the helmet fit properly so that it doesn't fall off while the user is riding or if he or she takes a fall. According to Safe Kids Worldwide, more children from ages five to 14 are seen in emergency rooms for biking-related injuries than from any other sport. Helmets can reduce the risk of severe brain injuries by 88 percent. However, approximately 55 percent of children are reported as not always wearing a helmet while bike riding.
The following facts/statistics are from Safe Kids USA:
Safe Kids Worldwide further reported that in 2010, 112 children under the age of 19 died while riding a bike. This is the smallest number of deaths since 1999, and is a 56-percent reduction in the number of deaths since the year with a 59-percent decrease in the death rate.
The National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research (NCCSIR) also tracks a number of statistics for "catastrophic" football injuries, which it defines as those that resulted in brain or spinal cord injury; or skull or spine fracture. Recent findings in the Annual Survey of Catastrophic Football Injuries, 1977-2012, include the following:
In addition, the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research reported the following incidences: (For a full listing of incidences, read the Annual Survey of Catastrophic Football Injuries, 1977-2012.)
A few football injuries also have resulted in fatalities, according to the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research's Annual Survey of Football Injury Research, 1931-2012:
According to the same report by NCCSIR, a number of the players associated with brain trauma complained of headaches or had a previous concussion prior to their deaths.
The National Federation of State High Schools released the following statement on February 23, 2010: "Effective with the 2010 high school football season, any player who shows signs, symptoms or behaviors associated with a concussion must be removed from the game and shall not return to play until cleared by an appropriate health-care professional." The new concussion language has been placed in all NFHS rules books as well as the "NFHS Suggested Guidelines for Management of Concussion."
More recently, the long-term implications of concussion have been discussed at length in the media, sparked by the controversy between the NFL and its former players. An ESPN news story from early November 2013 covered the chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) diagnosis of three ex-NFL players. Additionally, ESPN also reported that last year UCLA tested five other former players, and were able to diagnose all five as has having signs of CTE, marking the first time the disease has been recognized in living patients.
Horseback Riding
While head injuries comprise about 18 percent of all horseback riding injuries, they are the No. 1 reason for hospital admission. A 2007 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that horseback riding resulted in 11.7 percent of all traumatic brain injuries in recreational sports from 2001 to 2005, the highest of any athletic activity. Of the estimated 14,446 horseback-related head injuries treated in 2009, 3,798 were serious enough to require hospitalization, for an estimated 4,958 concussions and 97 skull fractures. Subdural hematomas and brain hemorrhages comprised many of the serious injuries. According to the Equestrian Medical Safety Association, head injuries account for an estimated 60 percent of deaths resulting from equestrian accidents.
There are factors that may increase the risk of falling, such as a green horse, slippery footing or bareback riding, but it is the height from which the rider falls that most significantly impacts the severity of the injury. According to the Ontario Equestrian Federation, a rider sitting on a horse is elevated eight feet or more above the ground, and a fall from just two feet can cause permanent brain damage. Riders ages 10-14 are most likely to be involved in an accident with a horse.
While serious head injury can occur while wearing a helmet, the data very clearly shows that the severity of the head injury can be decreased through helmet wear. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, helmets can reduce head and brain injuries by 85 percent. While helmets are required in equestrian sports that involve jumping, including eventing and show jumping, in high-level dressage competitions, the riders generally wear top hats, which provide no protection. Accidents are less common in competitive dressage, but accidents can occur. While most dressage riders do not wear helmets even when practicing, they are allowed both during practice and competition.
The United States Equestrian Federation strongly encourages all riders while riding anywhere on the competition grounds to wear protective headgear with harness secured which passes or surpasses ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)/SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) standards for equestrian use and carries the SEI tag.
Snow Skiing/Snowboarding
According to a John Hopkins Medicine-led study, approximately 10 million Americans ski or snowboard in the United States each year, with about 600,000 injuries reported annually. Severe head trauma accounts for about 20 percent of all skiing- and snowboarding-related injuries, and of those head injuries, 22 percent are severe enough to cause loss of consciousness or concussion. Head injuries are the most frequent cause of death and severe disability among skiers and snowboarders.
According to the National Ski Areas Association's (NSAA's 2012-2013 National Demographic Study, 70 percent of skiers and snowboarders wore helmets during the most recent ski season. This shows a 5-percent increase from the 2011-2012 season. Among those interviewed, helmet usage has increased by 180 percent since the 2002-2003 season, when only 25 percent of skiers and snowboarders reported wearing helmets.
More importantly, 80 percent of skiers and snowboarders age 17 and under reported wearing helmets on the slopes during the 2012-2013 ski season. The NSAA National Demographic Study was compiled from more than 130,000 interviews of skiers and snowboarders nationwide.
The 2012-2013 NSAA study also revealed that:
NSAA recently launched a revamped Lids on Kids website designed to provide parents with pertinent helmet-safety information; it includes simple helmet-sizing instructions to help ensure a proper fit.
Helmet Usage
In 2011, New Jersey became the first state to require those under the age of 18 to wear a helmet while skiing or snowboarding. Currently, there are no other state laws mandating helmets for skiing or any winter sports. Ski resorts in Aspen, Colo., mandate that skiers under age 12 wear helmets. Following the high-profile skiing-related deaths of Michael Kennedy in December of 1997, Sonny Bono in January of 1998 and Natasha Richardson in March of 2009, an increase in the number of skiers wearing helmets has been noted in several studies.
Meanwhile, helmet use has been mandatory for snowpark users in Quebec, Canada, since the winter of 2006-2007, according to the Quebec Ski Areas Association (ASSQ). And in January of 2010, the Canadian Ski Council (CSC) issued the following national policy:
"The Canadian Ski Council recommends wearing helmets for skiing and riding. Skiers and snowboarders are encouraged to educate themselves on the benefits and limitations of helmet usage. The primary safety consideration, and obligation under the Alpine Responsibility Code, is to ski and ride in a controlled and responsible manner."
The policy was developed after research undertaken by the CSC showed that helmet usage in Canada is increasing steadily, with more than 50 percent of Canadian skiers and boarders wearing helmets; usage is much greater among youth, reaching 90 percent in many areas. In order to further ensure compliance with this initiative, the CSC notes that Canadian ski areas have invested heavily in making the sport safer, with improved signage, better grooming and safer equipment; areas have purchased more than 50,000 rental helmets to include in their rental packages, which are available at nearly all Canadian ski areas.
In a February 2010 release from Quebec's Trauma Centres and the ASSQ, Dr. Tarek Razek, director of the Montreal General Hospital Trauma Program, said, "Wearing a helmet reduces the risk of head injuries in skiers and snowboarders by approximately 35 percent." Dr. Razek also advocates helmet use in other sports, including cycling and rollerblading.
As part of a survey of 80 Canadian ski areas:
Meanwhile, according to the 2012-2013 National Demographic Study of skiers and boarders, the National Ski Area Association in the U.S. found the following;
Protection against head injuries in soccer is complicated by the fact that heading is an established part of the game, and any attempt to protect against head injuries must allow the game to be played without modification. Several head guards have been developed to reduce the risk of head injuries in soccer. One independent research study found that none of the products on the market provided substantial benefits against minor impacts, such as heading with a soccer ball.
A McGill University study found that more than 60 percent of college-level soccer players reported symptoms of concussion during a single season. Although the percentage at other levels of play may be different, these data indicate that head injuries in soccer are more frequent than most presume.
According to CPSC statistics, 40 percent of soccer concussions are attributed to head to player contact; 10.3 percent are head to ground, goal post, wall, etc.; 12.6 percent are head to soccer ball, including accidents; and 37 percent are not specified.
Types of Head Injuries
Cerebral concussions frequently affect athletes in both contact and non-contact sports. Cerebral concussions are considered diffuse brain injuries and can be defined as traumatically induced alterations of mental status. A concussion results from shaking the brain within the skull and, if severe, can cause shearing injuries to nerve fibers and neurons.
Grading the concussion is a helpful tool in the management of the injury (see Cantu below) and depends on: 1) Presence or absence of loss of consciousness, 2) Duration of loss of consciousness, 3) Duration of posttraumatic memory loss, and 4) Persistence of symptoms, including headache, dizziness, lack of concentration, etc.
Some team physicians and trainers evaluate an athlete's mental status by using a five-minute series of questions and physical exercises known as the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC). This method, however, may not be comprehensive enough to pick up subtle changes. More recently, teams have employed ImPACT, a 25-minute computer-based testing program specifically designed for the management of sports-related concussion. A player who has sustained a concussion is three to six times more likely to sustain another one.While the decision on when an athlete is ready to return to play isn't straightforward — such as in this news story, when in November of 2013 a professional soccer player helped bring his team to victory despite having lost consciousness and dislocating five vertebrae — every player could benefit from baseline neurological testing before the season so that the results can be used for comparison in the event the athlete receives a blow to the head.
Note: There is no evidence to demonstrate all participants in contact collision sports should have baseline computerized neuropsychological (NP) tests. NP tools such as ImPACT/Cogsport, as well as SCAT3 have yet to be proven reliable or validated. These screening tests can be used only as a tool in the expert medical diagnosis and return to play decision-making process.
Second Impact Syndrome (SIS) results from acute, sometimes fatal brain swelling that occurs when a second concussion is sustained before complete recovery from a previous concussion. This causes vascular congestion and increased intracranial pressure, which may be difficult or impossible to control. The risk for SIS is higher for sports such as boxing, football, ice or roller hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball and snow skiing.
In September 2011, the AANS issued a Powerpoint presentation, titled "Concussion and Sports: Useful prevention and treatment information for your community from America's neurosurgeons" to help prepare and educate the public on this critical issue. The issue of concussion is covered further within the AANS Patient Information section as well. To view that page, click here.
The word coma refers to a state of unconsciousness. The unconscious state has variability and may be very deep, where no amount of stimulation will cause the person to respond or, in other cases, a person who is in a coma may move, make noise or respond to pain, but is unable to obey simple, one-step commands such as "hold up two fingers" or "stick out your tongue." The process of recovery from coma is a continuum along which a person gradually regains consciousness.
For people who sustain severe injury to the brain and are comatose, recovery is variable. The more severe the injury, the more likely the result will include permanent impairment.
The Glasgow Coma Scale usually is administered upon admission to the hospital or by paramedic first responders to establish a baseline level of consciousness, motor function and eye findings. Frequent evaluations of the patient are imperative to help assess neurologic improvement or deterioration.
Brain-imaging technologies, particularly computerized axial tomography (CT or CAT scan), can offer important immediate information about a person's status. The purpose of performing an emergency CT scan is to rule out a large mass lesion (hematoma) compressing the brain that requires immediate surgical removal. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is used in a more elective setting to image subtle changes that are not picked up by CT.
Brain Injury Symptoms
Head Injury Prevention Tips
Buy and use helmets or protective head gear approved by the ASTM for specific sports 100 percent of the time. The ASTM has vigorous standards for testing helmets for many sports; helmets approved by the ASTM bear a sticker stating this. Helmets and head gear come in many sizes and styles for many sports and must properly fit to provide maximum protection against head injuries. In addition to other safety apparel or gear, helmets or head gear should be worn at all times for:
Head gear is recommended by many sports safety experts for:
General Tips
Rule Changes in College Football to Prevent Head and Neck Injuries
The National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Task Force, headed by Ron Courson, director of sports medicine for the University of Georgia, has focused on two primary problems associated with head contact.
Rule changes implemented by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) related to head-down contact and spearing in collegiate football have been distributed to all coaches and officials throughout the country. The objective is to eliminate injuries resulting from a player using his helmet in an attempt to punish an opponent.
With the rule changes and more diligent enforcement of the rules, there is hope that a significant reduction in head and neck injuries will result.
The NCAA revised its 16-year-old guidelines on treatment of concussion in the NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook to better provide member institutions with appropriate responses to concussion injuries and procedures for returning athletes to competition or practice. According to page 59 of the 2013-2014 edition, "…Any athlete who is diagnosed with a concussion must not return to play or practice that day and must be cleared by a healthcare professional before returning to play or practice."
The "Concussion Diagnosis and Management" section details circumstances in which an athlete should be withheld from competition pending clearance by a physician.
