Spokane:  Sports associations are studying the effects of concussions on players. Most of them cause  slight bruising to brain sloshing back and forth within the skull cavity. Concussions to blunt force trauma claim lives.

Ms. Natasha Richardson, 45, died two days after what appeared to be a minor fall on a beginner’s ski slope north of Montreal. She initially turned down medical treatment but an hour later complained of a severe headache (http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/symptoms/headache/overview.html?inline=nyt-classifier) and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.  Autopsy blamed death on blunt force trauma.

   Baseballs Ryan Freel died last December from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after an eight-year major league playing career during which he claimed to have suffered 10 concussions. Believing there to be a link between the suicide and Freel’s multiple incidents of head trauma, Freel’s family donated his brain to the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, where many football players and boxers have been tested and studied for CTE.

CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) is an incurable brain disease clinically associated with symptoms of irritability, impulsivity, aggression, depression, short-term memory loss and heightened suicidality.

Freel, the center has discovered, was suffering from Stage II CTE at the time of his death.

“It’s a release in that there was a physical reason for what he did,” Clark Vargas, Freel’s stepfather, told Justin Barney of the Florida Times-Union. “On the other side for me, Ryan fell through the cracks. … We’re keeping track of pitch counts, can we keep track of how many guys are hit on the head? @drewsilv

Our Beloved National Pastime - Little League

Linda Carroll NBC News contributor “The focus for parents of Little Leaguers should be on the concussions themselves, said Dr. Joseph Maroon, a professor of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Heindl Scholar in neuroscience and team neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“There should be concern about any type of head injury,” Maroon said. “These certainly do occur in baseball, but not with the frequency as they do in football, soccer, hockey, or even field hockey. We know that multiple blows to the head may lead to prolonged problems.”

Maroon and others worry that fear of concussions might prompt parents to pull their kids from all sports.

Between 2010 and 2012 there was a 9.5 percent decline in the number of kids opting to play Pop Warner football, said Josh Pruce, a spokesperson for Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc.

The most important thing for parents to understand is that properly managed concussions (http://www.nbcnews.com/health/new-sports-concussion-mantr...) are far less likely to create long-term problems, experts said.

TMobile (http://tmobile.com/) is currently running (at least) al full-page still photo campaign as of Dec.15 when an angry mother alerted me.  The Docs at The Center for the Study of Encephalopathy diagnosed her son with CTE. This doc was able to show him precisely where the damaged tissues are on his brain specifically where the damage is visible.

Lady is bringing her A-Game to take the discussion into the schools and get the and get people talking publicly. http://HelpKeepLadyWarm.com

The first thing Lady wants to accomplish is for http://TMobile.com to withdraw the ads and turn it around so something freakin’ good and positive are coming out of their images and manipulated theme campaign. That might be a fantasy tale for Lady to believe that.  We shall see!
