...they are more likely to have a concussion diagnosed. For starters, look to the neck. Bigger, stronger neck muscles can balance the head during impact and lower the chances of the brain's being jolted in a collision. According to a study that will be published in the Journal of Biomechanics, the circumference of men's necks is 20% larger than that of women's necks. Further, resistance tests showed that men's necks are 50% stronger than those of women. Another new biomechanical study shows that during adolescence, boys develop significantly stronger necks than girls do. "More-developed necks...
...girls work with coaches to strengthen their neck muscles. Another solution, especially for soccer players, is to wear protective headgear. Since its inception in 2002, a San Diego-based company, Full 90, has sold some 200,000 soft, padded headbands to soccer players.

But some experts worry that the bands may spur more reckless on-field behavior. "I fear that kids will put these things on their heads and feel invincible," says Guskiewicz...
...about not its resurgence but rather its authenticity. Enthusiasts claim the thujone-free brands, which contain less than 10 parts per million (p.p.m.) of the chemical, are made with the same relatively small amounts of thujone as the old brews. But scientists wrote in the British Medical Journal that absinthe bottled before 1900 packed up to 260 p.p.m. of thujone--which may not sound like much, but consider that only 15 parts per billion of lead in drinking water is enough to scare regulators. "They are playing pretend," study co-author Wilfred Arnold says of the liquor's new cheerleaders...
