They are not purposely hiding kids and putting them back in with concussions. Sometimes it is hard to recognize when Young Athletes do not tell you how they are feeling. We brought up the importance of teammates being involved in diagnosing players. How close are we to a better design for helmets . I think we are at the beginning. We have been using a standard that has not changed for 40 years that was designed for skull fractures. Many investigators are working to improve standards to include acceleration as well as other important aspects of impact. Just as the Automotive Industry did with safety ratings, the market can be relied upon for manufacturers to improve designs to improve sales. I think standards are important part of the equation. Thank you. Dr. Gay, you discussed the fact there is a numerical Rating System for helmet impact. It is designed at virginia tech, the star system. You called it the best tool we have for analyzing the merits of helmet systems. Can you describe ho
Degraded or obsolete. Im pleased to learn of your donation. It strikes me of an knowledge meant that wearing an old helmet when playing football is not advisable. It is a statement that would be very influential. Weve also heard that reconditioning those under 10 years old is important to ensure the proper phone density and that other degraded parts are replaced. Want to ask you the following questions. I guess that is why im sitting in the seats. We realize that many issues are subject to negotiations. Can they commit to supporting the habitant helmets on the field that are over 10 years old . In the youth space. I plead not enough familiarity with the issue. I know there are a couple of states that would be happy to work with you to pursue it. The first question is committed to prohibiting helmets on the field of over 10 years old. Can you commit to the supporting a policy positions that these present an unacceptable safety risk that is right most of the helmet industry . I see no re
They act as a control over the course of the season. We are finding what occurs across the season in normal players with no history of concussion, their speed of processing does change over the four or five months of training and the season. With the players who experience concussion, we see a slowdown of about 200 milliseconds. That is four times faster than the slowdown in multiple sclerosis, for contrast. Clearly, the brain has changed the way it is processing. We are moving to start intervention programs with the players identified. There is some data with alzheimers that suggest working memory tasks, even one week, can show continual gain and improvements. We are trying to see some of that occurring. Thank you. Dr. Gay, in regard to concussions, many times it is not a direct blow. The head is going back and forth and the brain is sloshing around. You mentioned going back to 1970s type equipment. Describe what you mean by 1970s equipment and how it may reduce concussions. The neck
Unaccompanied minors represent 20 of the illegal aliens that are coming into america. And those are the ones that we catch. And thats 100,000. Perhaps that number approaching 120,000. If they catch, its a number bigger than that. We have a number that goes to 300,000 criminal aliens to be interdicted in this fiscal year and i think that number will go higher. That is one of those snapshot estimates. I predict, 600,000. This president has refused to send people back. If you are able to set a foot in the United States, get into america, get into the interior, you are almost homefree. If you arent caught at the border, you almost homefree. Something less than 2 of those who come into the United States who get caught are actually sent back home. And now when you slice and dice that number, that trend is 1 10 of 1 that are faced with enforcement. This is the wholesale destruction of the rule of law. The wholesale destruction of the rule of law. This is a president who has olled out the welc
Please raise their hand. The u. N. Security council gets tough on north korea. And the north responds likewise. Delegates at the United Nations have agreed to expand sanctions on north korea. The Security Council condemned a rocket launch there last month. Chinese delegates have long provided diplomatic protection for their north korean allies. But they approved the resolution and members adopted it unanimously. The statement criticizes the launch as a violation of previous resolutions. The Security Council will add organizations and individuals to lists of existing sanctions and freeze their assets. The north Korean Space Agency is among those named. Todays resolution also makes clear that if north korea chooses again to defy the International Community such as by conducting another launch or a nuclear test then the council will take significant action. American delegates told the chinese the resolution would not bring in new measures but would build existing sanctions. Those assuranc
