Experts Skeptical of
'Anti-Concussion' Sports Equipment
|
|
|
|
As scientists confirm that football and other high-impact
sports can leave lasting brain damage, companies are marketing
"anti-concussion" equipment to coaches, parents and children
that, neurologists say, probably does not work. "I wish there was
such a product on the market," Jeffrey Kutcher, chairman of the
American Academy of Neurology's sports section, said at a Senate
hearing Wednesday. "The simple truth is that no current helmet,
mouth guard, headband or other piece of equipment can significantly prevent
concussions from occurring." Alexa Vaughn, LA Times

Killer Cantaloupes

|
|
A dirty packing facility at a Colorado farm was the likely
source of an outbreak of listeria in cantaloupes that killed 25 people
in the US since August, health authorities said Wednesday. The
foodborne outbreak was the deadliest in a quarter century in the United
States, and also sickened 123 people and caused one pregnant woman to
miscarry, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Kerry

Citigroup to Pay Millions to Close
Fraud Complaint
|
|
|
|
Citigroup on Wednesday agreed to pay $285 million to
settle a civil complaint by the Securities and Exchange Commission that
it had defrauded investors who bought just such a deal. The transaction
involved a $1 billion portfolio of mortgage-related investments, many
of which were handpicked for the portfolio by Citigroup without telling
investors of its role or that it had made bets that the investments
would fall in value. Edward Wyatt, The New York Times 10/20/2011
