I fail to see what food stamps have anything to do with the Olympics.

Good Post, having been a long time Laker fan, since they came to LA. I have seen the Game go from…Read More playing defense to a mostly offensive game only. Scoring has been up this year, it makes for better television. PED's help the players get by the 82 game Sch. and the 30 to 40 more for the playoffs, and also why we see alot more older players in the NBA, Steve Nash just turned 38, and he's plays Point Guard. and he's still playing very well...!!! The money to be made in the NBA is just way to much to really test for PED's. Jerry Buss past away this past week, a great owner will be Missed, He paid'd 98 million for the Lakers in 1979, they are on the Forbes top 10 list for sports teams world wide at # 10 worth 950,million...!!!

There was a time in this country when The Dumb and the Willfully Ignorant worked on assembly lines…Read More and wanted nothing more when they got off work other than "Miller Time," a woman with a retarded sense of morality, and a double-wide they could call "home." Then came downsizing, outsourcing, Bush the Second's devaluation of the dollar, and the economic collapse of 2008.
Now The Dumb and the Willfully Ignorant are unemployable so they spend their days commenting on the Patch. Even when the article deals with topics they know nothing of; they live to spew their ignorance and hatred. They don't use their real names because they claim speaking your mind can be dangerous. Tell that to Martin Luther King, Jr. Malcolm X, Nathan Hale, Thomas Paine...
They are cowards and like all cowards they bully if you point out their complete lack of logic. They ruin online communication and any chance we may have had to learn from each other. They are why the Patch will fail and our society will continue to crumble around us.

The Ancient Olympic Games were religious and athletic festivals held every four years at the sanctuary of Zeus in Olympia, Greece. Competition was among representatives of several city-states and kingdoms of Ancient Greece. These Games featured mainly athletic but also combat sports such as wrestling and the pankration, horse and chariot racing events.

Prior to the 2012 Football Season, the American Academy of…Read More Neurology published, in the journal Neurology, a study of 3500 professional football players, and found that professional football players are 4 times as likely to develop ALS ( Lou Gehrig's disease), and also had higher risk of developing Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimers Disease, compared to the general public. Attorneys did not make this up.
Its important that parents know this prior to signing up their kids for football.. yes, it can happen even in middle school or high school or college... Its not a laughing matter. If you are a parent who wants your kid to be in football, consider making sure they will be the quarterback or kicker... unless the game changes to reduce repetitive head injuries.
Respectfully,
Jane Tanaka MD.

Also different ages, different head injuriy severity risk.
Again, per the researchers from the…Read More Sports Concussion Instittute:
"There are distinct differences in age when it comes to managing sport related concussions. Recent research demonstrates that high school athletes not only take longer to recover after a concussion when compared to collegiate or professional athletes, but they also may experience greater severity of symptoms and more neurological disturbances as measured by neuropsychological and postural stability tests. It is also estimated that 53% of high school athletes have sustained a concussion before participation in high school sports, and 36% of collegiate athletes have a history of multiple concussions. Because the frontal lobes of the human brain continue to develop until age 25, it is vital to manage youth concussions very conservatively to ensure optimal neurological development and outcomes."
Jane Tanaka MD January 12, 2013 at 12:56 pm
Yes, different sports different injuries.
According to the Neuropsychologist researchers at the…Read More Sports Concussion Institute:
"CDC estimates reveal that 1.6 million to 3.8 million concussions occur each year
5-10% of athletes will experience a concussion in any given sport season
Fewer than 10% of sport related concussions involve a Loss of Consciousness (e.g., blacking out, seeing stars, etc.)
Football is the most common sport with concussion risk for males (75% chance for concussion)
Soccer is the most common sport with concussion risk for females (50% chance for concussion)
78% of concussions occur during games (as opposed to practices)
Some studies suggest that females are twice as likely to sustain a concussion as males
Headache (85%) and Dizziness (70-80%) are most commonly reported symptoms immediately following concussions for injured athletes
Estimated 47% of athletes do not report feeling any symptoms after a concussive blow
A professional football player will receive an estimated 900 to 1500 blows to the head during a season
Impact speed of a professional boxers punch: 20mph
Impact speed of a football player tackling a stationary player: 25mph
Impact speed of a soccer ball being headed by a player: 70mph"
