...many of us, it turns out. To improve player safety, all youth coaches should be trained in a concussion-management program approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and be certified before strapping a whistle around their neck. Make coaches carry a concussion card that shows they're aware of the risks and aren't idiotic enough to unleash two 8-year-old heads on each other. "If you're going to coach football, you should be trained - like a lifeguard sitting over a swimming pool learning CPR," says Turley, the former NFL offensive lineman and concussion-prevention...
Bravery. Bravado. Machismo. These qualities create superior football players. But they can be poisonous. "You've got to change the culture, change the mentality," says Turley.

...belated push for the Volcker rule and other add-ons will require new hearings and more delay, and that its line-in-the-sand approach to the consumer agency is a formula for gridlock.

The problem is that on an issue this complex, with so many contentious provisions and alternative proposals floating around, naysayers are always going to be able to find a populist excuse to say nay. For example, some in both parties have turned to Fed-bashing, trying to strip the agency's regulatory powers and opposing Chairman Ben Bernanke's nomination for a second term. Who knows? In 2010, "Bailout...
