THIS I am deeply worried about our field and how these cuts will direclty hurt the American public. And we in injury prevention science will continue on as best we can! www.npr.org/sections/sho...

With CDC injury prevention team gutted, 'we will not know what is killing us'
Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

The NBA doesn't have a 3 pt shot problem. 3's have skyrocketed this yr because it's the most protected shot. Inside the 3 line, there can be all kinds of contact. Outside the 3 line, you can't even be in the "landing zone", and most guys just fly by to contest. Of course there are more 3s
