What happens after the current regime . The soviet people with their antiwestern mindset still admire the west as consumers. The same phenomenon is observed in todays russia. They brandished their patriotic as rely on imports in almost every aspect of their daily area. Experience. Anyone who can afford to go abroad for shopping or were some tourism will do it. The population might welcome more engagement with the west. They have the hope of achieving a higher living standard. But it becomes too risky. Historical parallels become too risky. Painful memories of the interior crisise the ukrainian has reopened the old sores. It did not heal any wounds. The contrary was the case. Russia remains extremely fragile. This is not good news for anyone who wants to be democratic or peaceful. [applause] thank you very much. That was a professor from the university of tartu in estonia. Is annal speaker associate at harvard university. Thank you. Expertise is in military. I will start by talking abou
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
Races. Or bronco games, whatever you like to do. Americans are not ideological which is, sadly, why ideological appeals dont always resonate with americans. If you in this room represented, if you are a firm representation of the american body politic, wed have no problems. Youre not, im very sorry to say, and neither am i. Ideology is about ideas, politics is about winning elections. And you only win elections in the aggregate as divorced from any individual election where anything can happen. But when you take a look at this great nation of ours with 435 congressional districts and 100 senate seats, in order to be a Majority Party you have to put together a majority coalition. This is a twoparty system. Its going to stay a twoparty system for a long time to come. No minor party is going to emerge and suddenly displace one of the two major parties, the democrats or republicans. Not in my judgment anytime soon. You remember ross perot. Ross perot lost that election, 1992, helping bill
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
