Trauma to the head or neck region can cause sub dermal hematoma, closed head injury or concussion, hemorrhaging, intracranial pressure and swelling leading to global hypoxia, anoxic brain injury or hypoxic brain injury, and other forms of minor and significant brain damage. Most seriously, a brain injury can result in cognitive impairment, a coma or persistent vegetative state and all too frequently, death.

Major risk factors for Teen drivers
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009Teens are more likely than older drivers to underestimate dangerous situations or not be able to recognize hazardous situations.
Teens are more likely than older drivers to speed and allow shorter headways (the distance from the front of one vehicle to the front of the next). The presence of male teenage passengers increases the likelihood of this risky driving behavior.
Among male drivers between 15 and 20 years of age who were involved in fatal crashes in 2005, 38% were speeding at the time of the crash and 24% had been drinking.
Compared with other age groups, teens have the lowest rate of seat belt use. In 2005, 10% of high school students reported they rarely or never wear seat belts when riding with someone else.9 In a national survey of seat belt use among high school students:
Male high school students (12.5%) were more likely than female students (7.8%) to rarely or never wear seat belts.
African-American students (13.4%) and Hispanic students (10.6%) were more likely than white students (9.4%) to rarely or never wear seat belts.
At all levels of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), the risk of involvement in a motor vehicle crash is greater for teens than for older drivers.
In 2005, 23% of drivers ages 15 to 20 who died in motor vehicle crashes had a BAC of 0.08 g/dl or higher.
In a national survey conducted in 2005, nearly three out of ten teens reported that, within the previous month, they had ridden with a driver who had been drinking alcohol. One in ten reported having driven after drinking alcohol within the same one-month period.
In 2005, three out of four teen drivers killed in motor vehicle crashes after drinking and driving were not wearing a seat belt.
In 2005, half of teen deaths from motor vehicle crashes occurred between 3 p.m. and midnight and 54% occurred on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

Eggs are good for muscle building
Saturday, January 10th, 2009
Egg Protein
A large egg provides 6 grams of protein
Protein content of egg white=3.6g, protein content of egg
yolk=2.7g
Because of their high protein content, eggs are included in
the meat, fish, poultry, nuts and beans group of the US
Food Guidance Systems.
Eggs have the highest quality protein in the food supply with
the amino acid pattern almost matching the human requirement
for essential amino acids (FAO protein
value=100)
Digestibility of egg protein is 97%. This means that 97% of the
egg protein is absorbed as amino acids, which are available
for new protein synthesis and replacement of lost
protein.
Cooked egg protein is more digestible than raw egg protein
(cooked egg protein digestibility=90.9%+/-0.8, raw egg
protein digestibility=51.3+/-9.8)
The biological value of egg protein is 94%. Biological value is
a measure of the rate at which the protein in food supports
growth. Eggs and milk have the highest biological
value and provide more amino acids for growth and tissue
maintenance than even meat, including beef, chicken, pork
and fish.
The 10-Minute Home Workout to Flatten Abs
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
We’re comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn’t care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn’t care what you plant.
When you think of a workout, do you think of an hour and a half of sweaty weightlifting, coupled with loud music and pumping testosterone? If so, when I mention an ab workout you probably get an idea that is very off-base. But there is a home work out to flatten abs that you can use every day which will cause results very quickly. And best of all, it’s only 10 minutes.
If you truly have the desire for muscular and flat abs, you probably aren’t too phased by the idea of taking 10 minutes out of your schedule for a quick workout. And don’t try to make excuses like you’re too busy or you have better things to do. If you really have the desire for self-improvement, it isn’t a problem to make 10 minutes. Nobody is that busy.
You should plan your workout directly before you plan to eat. Your home work out to flatten abs will tear your muscles up and leave them begging for something to eat in order to rebuild, and it’s best if you eat lots of protein as soon as they are in this state. This results in the most muscle mass.
To start your workout, lie down on the floor and begin doing stomach crunches. You should do them quickly, but still maintain as much form as you can. Do 50 of these. Hopefully by the end your abs have already started to cry for a break; but it’s not time for a break yet, you’re only part of the way done.
After your first round of crunches, it is time for some leg-raises to hit the lower sections of your abdomen. Don’t take a break in between the two exercises. The whole goal is to do a quick and effective workout, so there will be no stopping to catch your breath. Do 25 of the leg raises before you return to neutral position and do 50 more crunches.
After the 50 crunches, you will probably starting to feel an intense burn in your abs. You may be ready to quit, but it’s still not time. Now, do the bicycle exercise – lifting your knees to your chest and performing a crunch with the opposite shoulder, then switching sides. Do 25 of these, and don’t even think about combining the totals of both sides.
After the bicycles, it’s time for the last round of crunches. Pump out 50 more. Think about how you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and how amazing it that you got this far. You will make it to 50, and it will be painful. But it will be rewarding as well. Now, as you lay in a panting, sweaty, immobile heap, you get to look forward to tomorrow’s 10-minute home work out to flatten abs.
This is an awesome work out, i’ve tried it and wow. To find more info, just follow the link here http://www.sixpackabsguide/
From the start.
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Road crashes, causing death, injury, and damage have always happened. History tells of many notable historic personalities who were the victim of such incidents. Louis IV of France died in 954 after falling from his horse, as did at least two kings of England: William I (William the Conqueror) in 1087 and William III in 1702. Handel was seriously injured in a carriage crash in 1752.
The British road engineer J. J. Leeming, compared the statistics for fatality rates in Great Britain, for transport incidents both before and after the introduction of the motor vehicle, for journeys, including those by water, which would now be undertaken by motor vehicle: For the period 1863–1870 there were: 470
fatalities per million of population (76 on railways, 143 on roads, 251 on water); for the period 1891–1900 the corresponding figures were: 348 (63, 107, 178); for the period 1931–1938: 403 (22, 311, 70) and for the year 1963: 325 (10, 278, 37). Leeming concluded that the data showed that “travel accidents may even have been more frequent a century ago than they are now, at least for men
“.
Irish scientist Mary Ward died on 31st August 1869 when she fell out of her cousins’ steam car and was run over. She is believed to have been the world’s first motor vehicle accident victim.
In the United States the calculable costs of motor-vehicle crashes are wage and productivity losses, medical expenses, motor vehicle damage, and employers’, uninsured costs administrative expenses. (See the definitions for a description of what is included in each component.) The costs of all these items for each death (not each fatal crash), injury (not each injury crash), and property damage crash was: Average Economic Cost per Death, Injury, or Crash, 2006: Nonfatal; Disabling Injury; $55,000; Property Damage Crash (including nondisabling injuries) $8,200; Death; $1,210,000; Expressed on a per death basis, the cost of all motor vehicle crashes—i.e. fatal, nonfatal injury, and property damage—was $5,800,000. This includes the cost of one death, 197 property damage crashes (including minor injuries, 54 nonfatal disabling injuries). This average may be used to estimate the motor vehicle crash costs for a state provided that there are at least 10 deaths and only one or two occurred in each fatal crash. If fewer than 10 deaths, estimate the costs of deaths, nonfatal disabling injuries, and property damage crashes separately.
