He· insists that he never wore a helmet when he was growing up, and he is fine: Can you give . me some information that might help me to change their minds? Answer: We are getting to the time of year when people engage in skateboarding, bicycling and rollerblading - all activities typically conducted over cement and hard surfaces. Sports-related head injuries lead to more than 750,000 hospitalizations annually, just in the United States. Many of these requ~ a visit to the emergency room or, at least, urgent care.

But without head Protection, even what may seern like 11 minor bump on the head can actually result . in permanent brain damage: a condition known as traumatic brain injury (TBI). Your brain is a highly remarkable, yet very vulnerable organ. It basically floats inside of your skull, surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid; which cushions it from everyday bumps and blows. A violent jolt" to your head - such as that caused by falling fi'om a quickly moving skateboard ·- can force your brain to slam up against the inner wall of your skull. This can tear nerve fibers in your brain .and cause internal bleeding. Helmets absorb some of that shock energy, reducing the impact and injury to your brain and helping to prevent permanent damage and. in some cases, death. Sometimes it can · take weeks to months for the signs of a TBI to show up. Possible sytaptoms include short- and long-term memory deficits, learning r,roblems, physical disabilities and changes in mOod and/or personality. Closed head injuries, defined as blows to the head with no open wound -- with or without loss of consciousness -- can still cause such damage the brain. Motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of TBI, with sports-related injuries close behind. TBis are graded on a scale of ·mild, moderate or ·sel'ere. · After one head injury, the risk for permanent brain damage from subsequent injuries increases. You also want to be sure to protect other ru:eas of the body during athletic activities conducted over concrete, such as skating, skateboarding and bicycling, and during high-irnpac~ sports, such as tackle football or hockey. Knee and elbow pads as well as wrist and hand protection can help prevent pennanent damage to growing bQnes and joints. Eye protection should be used if the activity has a risk of eye damage . .

Experts: Mild swine flu COCJkl quickly tum cltaclly Bv $ETI:f BORENSTeiN Deve,opments on swine flu worldwide On the Net: ' i ( Helping doctors,ask about drug, alcohol problems Bv LAURAN NEERGAARD . . AP MEDICAL WRITER • WASHINGTON - lf more doctorn started asking, would more drug and alcohol abusers 'fess up so they could get help? . It's a huge irony of health· care: Go to the emergenc)' room and you'll be asked about a tetanus shot, even thougli "most of us have never seen a case of tetanus," says Dr.. Gail D'Onofrio, emergency medicine chief at Yale-New Haven Hospital. . Yet although up to half of ER visits involve illegal drugs or alcohol, typically "we don't ask it. It makes no sense whatsoever," says D'Onofrio, who teaches new dpctors to break that chain of silence. · : · A new program from the National Institute on Drug Abuse aims to help health workers past the stigma and ensure that more patients are asked for simple ·clues tQ addiction at every visit - not just in the ER, but anytim~ they see a doctQr. It's a step-by-step computeriz:ed guide tnat takes patients' answers to various behavior questions, analyzes their risk for a serious substance l!SC problem and tells doctors what ne)(( steps to take. . . A patient admits to experimenting with heroin? A few more questions about how often, when and if he felt cravings can guide how big his risk is for ongoing drug use and what intervention is needed - plus remind the doctor to administer an HIV and bepatitis test. . Someone else insists she's a social drinker? If she's ever had .four or more drinks in a day, she may have a bigger problem. The goal: To get substance abuse treatment for more of the 23 million Americans estimated to ,need it. Only abou1 2 million today get that belp, NIDA says. Better would be finding people early, when substance abuse is just taking hold and a doctor intervening might keep it from gettinJI worse. A government st~dy !ast ye_ar found that some stmple doctor steps - bnef m-office counseling or referral to a specialty center - could help . slash drug use by patients coaxed to come clean. They have plenty of opportunity. Studies suggest people with brewing drug or alcohol problems actually see thJ< doctor more often tban their sober' counterparts. They have a lot of injuries, and -a tougher time with problems ranging from high blOod pressure to liver disease. "There are all sons of people who are using alcohol, drugs, who are continuing to work and do their jobs and. slowly spiraling down, who are not the hard-core users," says Dr. Brian Jack, a family medicine specialist at Boston University Medical School. "Those are people ·who are in the clinics every single day for all sorts of different things." · · Hence the push for better su~stance abuse screen in~. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologtsts in December urgJ:d its members to ask every patient about alcohol or drug use. Top-level trauma centers must screen trauma patients as part of their accreditationc The·govern- . .inent adopted new insurance payment codes last year so doctors could bill for screening time. , . · · The ne~ feqeral program, called NIDAMED, aims to break another barrier: How doctors not trained in addiction medicine can iell the difference between experimenting an~. abuse, and what tbey should do for a patient with ·a problem, Already, New York City officials have told the gov. ·ernment they' re plannin~ to incorporate NIDAMED into the health department s electronic medical records, enabling more than, I ,000 providers in underserved parts of the citr to use it. Don t patients just lie? Sure, some do. "Help your doctor read between the lin~s," says patient informatton accompa· nying NIDAMED. · · · There are consequences. Lie about what's io your system and you might .be prescribed a le~al drug that co,uld trigger a deadly interaction. Lie if you re pregnant and you cari hurt your baby. The key, say doctors. who routinely screen, is earning patients' trust and explaining they're not being judgmental: Substance use is a medical problem. "We're not the police," says 'D'Onofrio. Medical information is confidentiaL "Get to know them as a person and treat them as a person, and care, frankly," adds Jack. Dana Moulton of Boston recalls long ago being hospitalc· ized with hepatitis and concealing that he was trymg to kick a nearly 20-year heroin addiction. But one doctor sat by his bedside, talking about a mutual love of books and eventually coaxing Moulton to reveal his struggles in methadone treatment. Moulton credits that doctor's help with his sue'cess in going drug-fr~e a decade ago: . .

He· insists that he never wore a helmet when he was growing up, and he is fine: Can you give . me some information that might help me to change their minds? Answer: We are getting to the time of year when people engage in skateboarding, bicycling and rollerblading - all activities typically conducted over cement and hard surfaces. Sports-related head injuries lead to more than 750,000 hospitalizations annually, just in the United States. Many of these requ~ a visit to the emergency room or, at least, urgent care.

But without head Protection, even what may seern like 11 minor bump on the head can actually result . in permanent brain damage: a condition known as traumatic brain injury (TBI). Your brain is a highly remarkable, yet very vulnerable organ. It basically floats inside of your skull, surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid; which cushions it from everyday bumps and blows. A violent jolt" to your head - such as that caused by falling fi'om a quickly moving skateboard ·- can force your brain to slam up against the inner wall of your skull. This can tear nerve fibers in your brain .and cause internal bleeding. Helmets absorb some of that shock energy, reducing the impact and injury to your brain and helping to prevent permanent damage and. in some cases, death. Sometimes it can · take weeks to months for the signs of a TBI to show up. Possible sytaptoms include short- and long-term memory deficits, learning r,roblems, physical disabilities and changes in mOod and/or personality. Closed head injuries, defined as blows to the head with no open wound -- with or without loss of consciousness -- can still cause such damage the brain. Motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of TBI, with sports-related injuries close behind. TBis are graded on a scale of ·mild, moderate or ·sel'ere. · After one head injury, the risk for permanent brain damage from subsequent injuries increases. You also want to be sure to protect other ru:eas of the body during athletic activities conducted over concrete, such as skating, skateboarding and bicycling, and during high-irnpac~ sports, such as tackle football or hockey. Knee and elbow pads as well as wrist and hand protection can help prevent pennanent damage to growing bQnes and joints. Eye protection should be used if the activity has a risk of eye damage . .

It makes no sense whatsoever," says D'Onofrio, who teaches new dpctors to break that chain of silence. · : · A new program from the National Institute on Drug Abuse aims to help health workers past the stigma and ensure that more patients are asked for simple ·clues tQ addiction at every visit - not just in the ER, but anytim~ they see a doctQr. It's a step-by-step computeriz:ed guide tnat takes patients' answers to various behavior questions, analyzes their risk for a serious substance l!SC problem and tells doctors what ne)(( steps to take. . . A patient admits to experimenting with heroin? A few more questions about how often, when and if he felt cravings can guide how big his risk is for ongoing drug use and what intervention is needed - plus remind the doctor to administer an HIV and bepatitis test. . Someone else insists she's a social drinker? If she's ever had .four or more drinks in a day, she may have a bigger problem. The goal: To get substance abuse treatment for more of the 23 million Americans estimated to ,need it. Only abou1 2 million today get that belp, NIDA says. Better would be finding people early, when substance abuse is just taking hold and a doctor intervening might keep it from gettinJI worse. A government st~dy !ast ye_ar found that some stmple doctor steps - bnef m-office counseling or referral to a specialty center - could help . slash drug use by patients coaxed to come clean. They have plenty of opportunity. Studies suggest people with brewing drug or alcohol problems actually see thJ< doctor more often tban their sober' counterparts. They have a lot of injuries, and -a tougher time with problems ranging from high blOod pressure to liver disease. "There are all sons of people who are using alcohol, drugs, who are continuing to work and do their jobs and. slowly spiraling down, who are not the hard-core users," says Dr. Brian Jack, a family medicine specialist at Boston University Medical School. "Those are people ·who are in the clinics every single day for all sorts of different things." · · Hence the push for better su~stance abuse screen in~. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologtsts in December urgJ:d its members to ask every patient about alcohol or drug use. Top-level trauma centers must screen trauma patients as part of their accreditationc The·govern- . .inent adopted new insurance payment codes last year so doctors could bill for screening time. , . · · The ne~ feqeral program, called NIDAMED, aims to break another barrier: How doctors not trained in addiction medicine can iell the difference between experimenting an~. abuse, and what tbey should do for a patient with ·a problem, Already, New York City officials have told the gov. ·ernment they' re plannin~ to incorporate NIDAMED into the health department s electronic medical records, enabling more than, I ,000 providers in underserved parts of the citr to use it. Don t patients just lie? Sure, some do. "Help your doctor read between the lin~s," says patient informatton accompa· nying NIDAMED. · · · There are consequences. Lie about what's io your system and you might .be prescribed a le~al drug that co,uld trigger a deadly interaction. Lie if you re pregnant and you cari hurt your baby. The key, say doctors. who routinely screen, is earning patients' trust and explaining they're not being judgmental: Substance use is a medical problem. "We're not the police," says 'D'Onofrio. Medical information is confidentiaL "Get to know them as a person and treat them as a person, and care, frankly," adds Jack. Dana Moulton of Boston recalls long ago being hospitalc· ized with hepatitis and concealing that he was trymg to kick a nearly 20-year heroin addiction. But one doctor sat by his bedside, talking about a mutual love of books and eventually coaxing Moulton to reveal his struggles in methadone treatment. Moulton credits that doctor's help with his sue'cess in going drug-fr~e a decade ago: . .

Mariners' Griffey • remamsout '· ~ 1' '. ' .. '·r i • ,•' •• '' l ' ' . SEATILE (AP) - Ken Griffey Jr. was out of the Mariners' !tneup for the third consecutive day. Yet his surprising, firstplace team was still feeling his unmistakable presence. , Actually. they were wearin~ it. Seattle's 39-year-old slugger arri•ed Tuesday morning before the series finale against the Texas Rangers still bothered by the flare-up of a colon condition called diverticulitis that was initially diagnosed in late 2006. Griffey said while sitting out Monday that it feels like someone kicked him in the side, but the pain usually clears up within a couple of days. :. Manager Don Wakamatsu thinks Griffey will start of the fm;t time since Saturday when the Mariners play at Kansas City Wednesday ni~ht. "They say it s just something that just passes through his system, that it's not something that should linger," Wakamatsu said. The pain Tuesday didn't keep Griffey from passing out his second set of custom printed whi te neck ties in as many road·lrip getaway days. . : One week after he gave each player a white tie With a blue jikeness of Wakamatsu across the bottom, to comply with the ~ ·s dress code for traveling. Griffey handed out white ties with his own face on them for the team's trip to MiSsouri after Tuesday's game. · · · The tie depicted Griffey wearing a Mariners pullover and a cheesy grin between two thumbs up. The tie's inscription: ~'World's Greatest Teammate." · : "That's outstanding'" fellow veteran and team crackup Mike sweeney yelled across the clubhouse as Griffey presented him with his lie. Griffey just kept smiling. . The scene was another example of how Griffey has' improved the Mariners - beyond toe field - in his first month ·back with Seattle since he left in 2000. : Baseball's active home run leader with 613 home runs entered Tuesday batting .190 with two home. runs and five RI;lls in 18 games, after having arthrQscopic surgery on his left knee in October. But he has lightened and enlightened an impressionable clubhouse that was bickering to the point of bemg dysfunctional last season while Seattle lost 101 games. Griffey· has established a rollicking "kangarOO comt" in which he levies fines for mess ups on and off the field. The court's underlying purpose: to ensure accountability. That trait was so lacking in Seattle last season, one of general manager Bill Bavasi's fmal, desperate acts before he was ftred in June was closing the clubhouse's postgame food line and cutting off access to towels in an effort to force players to describe at their lockers why they had just lost another game. · . 1 • "The common thing is, from Day One of spring tr.lining they wanted to put last year's situation behind them," Griffe)' said of his new teammates. "No matter why last year was last year, this was a fresh start for a lot ofpeople. And they are making the . best of it." Griffey has had formerly stone-faced teammates· such as Adrian Beltre, who is also struggling offensively so far this sea·son, doubled over in laughter - while Beltre was standing on · base during play. · Wakamatsu noted the mere presence of Griffey's left-handed bat has allowed Seattle to spread other left-handed batters such ·as Endy Chavez and Russell Branyan across its lineup, setting up the team well for late-inning chess matches against opposing managers who seek favorable matchups with their relievers. . Griffey's bat still carries clout, if not as many home runs. He had a team-leading 14 walks entering Tuesday. Wakamatsu said Griffey has earned the right to keep batting third when he returns - for now, anyway. : . · "If he doesn't start producing, at some point, yeah, you've got to look at that," the manager s.aid. "But he's got a track record." · Wednesday, May6, 2009 www.mydailysentinel.com NFL marking AFL's * ' ... •• *f!!/!;.. ** 1 * :.t .. . **"' ..... ...

Mariners' Griffey • remamsout '· ~ 1' '. ' .. '·r i • ,•' •• '' l ' ' . SEATILE (AP) - Ken Griffey Jr. was out of the Mariners' !tneup for the third consecutive day. Yet his surprising, firstplace team was still feeling his unmistakable presence. , Actually. they were wearin~ it. Seattle's 39-year-old slugger arri•ed Tuesday morning before the series finale against the Texas Rangers still bothered by the flare-up of a colon condition called diverticulitis that was initially diagnosed in late 2006. Griffey said while sitting out Monday that it feels like someone kicked him in the side, but the pain usually clears up within a couple of days. :. Manager Don Wakamatsu thinks Griffey will start of the fm;t time since Saturday when the Mariners play at Kansas City Wednesday ni~ht. "They say it s just something that just passes through his system, that it's not something that should linger," Wakamatsu said. The pain Tuesday didn't keep Griffey from passing out his second set of custom printed whi te neck ties in as many road·lrip getaway days. . : One week after he gave each player a white tie With a blue jikeness of Wakamatsu across the bottom, to comply with the ~ ·s dress code for traveling. Griffey handed out white ties with his own face on them for the team's trip to MiSsouri after Tuesday's game. · · · The tie depicted Griffey wearing a Mariners pullover and a cheesy grin between two thumbs up. The tie's inscription: ~'World's Greatest Teammate." · : "That's outstanding'" fellow veteran and team crackup Mike sweeney yelled across the clubhouse as Griffey presented him with his lie. Griffey just kept smiling. . The scene was another example of how Griffey has' improved the Mariners - beyond toe field - in his first month ·back with Seattle since he left in 2000. : Baseball's active home run leader with 613 home runs entered Tuesday batting .190 with two home. runs and five RI;lls in 18 games, after having arthrQscopic surgery on his left knee in October. But he has lightened and enlightened an impressionable clubhouse that was bickering to the point of bemg dysfunctional last season while Seattle lost 101 games. Griffey· has established a rollicking "kangarOO comt" in which he levies fines for mess ups on and off the field. The court's underlying purpose: to ensure accountability. That trait was so lacking in Seattle last season, one of general manager Bill Bavasi's fmal, desperate acts before he was ftred in June was closing the clubhouse's postgame food line and cutting off access to towels in an effort to force players to describe at their lockers why they had just lost another game. · . 1 • "The common thing is, from Day One of spring tr.lining they wanted to put last year's situation behind them," Griffe)' said of his new teammates. "No matter why last year was last year, this was a fresh start for a lot ofpeople. And they are making the . best of it." Griffey has had formerly stone-faced teammates· such as Adrian Beltre, who is also struggling offensively so far this sea·son, doubled over in laughter - while Beltre was standing on · base during play. · Wakamatsu noted the mere presence of Griffey's left-handed bat has allowed Seattle to spread other left-handed batters such ·as Endy Chavez and Russell Branyan across its lineup, setting up the team well for late-inning chess matches against opposing managers who seek favorable matchups with their relievers. . Griffey's bat still carries clout, if not as many home runs. He had a team-leading 14 walks entering Tuesday. Wakamatsu said Griffey has earned the right to keep batting third when he returns - for now, anyway. : . · "If he doesn't start producing, at some point, yeah, you've got to look at that," the manager s.aid. "But he's got a track record." · Wednesday, May6, 2009 www.mydailysentinel.com NFL marking AFL's * ' ... •• *f!!/!;.. ** 1 * :.t .. . **"' ..... ...

(AP) -The New York Yankees urged a state judge Tuesday to quash the subpoena from two Assembly committees invesugating !he use of public funds to help build the team's new stadium, saying !he issue already has been fully aired publicly. · Attorneys for the basebalr team said Assemblyman Richard Brodsky, a Westchester Democrat, is exceeding his authority and harassing the Yankees wilh legal actiort. The new stadium in the Bronx was the s·ubject of 21 local, state and federal approvals and 22 public hearings, they said. · "It's one of the most exhaustively ·reviewed and approved public projects in the state and in the country involving a sports team," attorney Jonathan Schiller said after Tuesday's COUI1 hearing. He estimated it would cost !he Yankees between $600,000 and $12 million to comply wilh Brodsky's subpoena·for private information from the past nine years. . Attorney George Carpinello argued in court !he subpoena also was "grossly overbroad" and would require culling !he elecn:onic and ·paper documents ~f more .than I00 people. Carpmello added !hat the relevant InformatiOn 1s held by !he New York City Industrial Development Agency and said the · Yankees already have provided the coiJunittees chaired by . Brodsky and Assemblyman James Brennan with thousands of pages of documents plus testimon}'. Brodsky countered that the Yankees are using $4 billion of public-supported financing for the new stadium, which opened m April across the street from the old one, while raising prices beyond the reach of many taxpayers. He said the team should be forced to disclose information so lawmakers can clarify !he facts and whether the governing laws should chan~e. ''We have a right to know the trulh," Brodsky smd. At State Supreme Court Justice John Egan Jr.'s suggestion, both sides mlked. behind closed doors for more than two bows, then Egan set the next hearing for May 27 to consider the subpoena and motion to quash it. . In coon documents, Brodsky said unresolved issues include whether the Yankees .paiticipated in manipulation of property tax assessments, how many new jobs were created at what wages, how many New Yorkers have been exclll!led by higher 8 charged with point ·shaving at Toledo, Bt . e · "' � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
