Concussion seminar featuring Ex-49ers QB Steve Young seeks to shed light in ... - San Jose Mercury News

Steve Young remembers. That much was established Tuesday night at Menlo School in Atherton during a community-based concussion conference in which the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback acted as the keynote speaker. "I was playing at a time where I started in the early '80s, where someone would have a concussion and they couldn't walk straight or they were acting funny and it was actually comedic," Young, 53, told the audience seated inside Menlo School's... Young, who led the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl in 1995 and retired in 1999 with no long-term effects of brain trauma, considers his concussions to be of the "vanilla" variety. It's a subject that has produced public outcry among parents, including Menlo School Athletic Director Kris Weems. "I'm a new parent, I have a 1-year-old," said Weems, who played men's basketball at Stanford and admitted to sustaining a couple of concussions. Instead of pushing the panic button on the concussion topic, Jon Cohen, the athletic trainer at Menlo School since 2007, assembled a panel featuring some of the nation's foremost experts -- in association with the Stanford Concussion and Brain... "We have no idea how many concussions are reported every year," said Cohen, who notes that estimates are at the moment elusive. Source: www.mercurynews.com

Feds take case of 'dark' humor preschool threat on Facebook - San Jose Mercury News

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A 19-year-old Pennsylvania man faces federal charges over a Facebook post threatening to kill preschool children even after telling investigators he merely has a dark sense of humor and didn't plan to carry out the threat. Cale Haer was originally charged Monday by police in his hometown of Johnstown, some 60 miles east of Pittsburgh, with making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. But the FBI and federal prosecutors took over the case and Haer was jailed Wednesday on a charge of making interstate threats, punishable by up to five years in prison. Investigators say Haer was chatting on Facebook with another person on Aug. "I disagree to a point so extreme I'm gonna go blow up a preschool to show my disapproval," Haer wrote, according to the FBI complaint. When the other person asked Haer if he was serious, the FBI said he responded: "I'm 100% serious about blowing up a preschool. A federal magistrate in Johnstown ordered Haer jailed indefinitely as he awaits prosecution. But Bruce Antkowiak, a former federal prosecutor who now teaches law at St. Vincent College, said Haer's prosecution calls into question a U. S. Supreme Court decision in June.

California Drought: Parts of Central Valley sinking 2 inches a month - San Jose Mercury News

Parts of the great San Joaquin Valley are sinking almost 2 inches every month, as the state's subterranean water supply is being drained to record lows by farms and towns coping with the devastating drought. On Wednesday, the most comprehensive study yet of the problem revealed the startling pace and extent of the damage: NASA satellites found the ground subsiding almost everywhere in the 140-mile stretch between Modesto and Tulare, with some of the... Even worse, the sinking is threatening the stability of the California Aqueduct, as satellite images show a bowl of land between Huron and Kettleman City plunged about 14 inches less than half a mile from the state's great canal. "We are pumping more than we are recharging," Mark Cowin, California Department of Water Resources director, lamented in a Wednesday news briefing to release data collected for the state by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Another report released Wednesday warned of the drought's calamitous impact if California's historic dryspell continues for another two to three years. Rural low-income communities, which rely on shallow wells for their water supply, and the environment will suffer the most acute affects, according to a new Public Policy Institute of California study.
