CNN —Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Sam Shields has said he regrets playing in the NFL, pointing to the effects concussions and head injuries had on his career and his later life. The spotters “serve as another set of eyes, watching for possible injuries at every NFL game,” according to NFL Football Operations. Concussions and their prevention have become an important issue in recent years due to their connection to brain disease later in life. The neurodegenerative brain disease can be found in individuals who have been exposed to repeated head trauma. The researchers hypothesized about a relationship between head trauma and ALS because of a similar link detected between football and the neurodegenerative disease CTE.

[What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.] In the middle of West 69th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue, behind some scaffolding and a green wooden wall, stand a few precarious inches of facade. A few years from now, this remnant will be grafted onto a mansion that may well cost $100 million by the time it’s finally finished. Manhattan has countless monuments to outrageous wealth, most recently and glaringly the $238 million penthouse that the hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin just bought at 220 Central Park South. Lacking famous owners, a prestige address, a brand-name architect or coverage in tabloid real estate blotters, 48-50 West 69th Street has thus far been a study in inconspicuous consumption.

Cuvântul „grexit", care se referă la o posibilă ieşire a Greciei din zona euro, a fost inclus, joi, alături alte neologisme, precum termenii argotici "manspreading", „hangry", „butt-dialing" şi „brainfart", în ediţia online a prestigiosului dicţionar OxfordTermenul „manspreading” a fost creat pentru a descrie un bărbat care stă pe scaun cu picioarele depărtate şi ocupă mai mult decât un loc într-un mijloc de transport în comun. În 2014, autorităţile care reglementează transportul public din New York au lansat o campanie în metroul din metropola americană ce a inclus o serie de afişe speciale, cu scopul de a descuraja această atitudine, transmite Mediafax. „Brainfart” înseamnă incapacitatea temporară – şi frustrantă – a unei persoane de a-şi aminti un lucru bine ştiut. Acest dicţionar online, alcătuit de creatorii prestigiosului Oxford English Dictionary, au inclus în noua ediţie şi adjectivul „awesomesauce” – ce descrie ceva care este excelent – şi expresia “manic pixie dream girl”, inspirată din universul cinematografic, care descrie un personaj feminin atrăgător şi neobişnuit. Alţi termeni incluşi în ediţia online a dicţionarului Oxford sunt “wine o’clock” şi “beer o’clock” (ora potrivită din zi pentru a bea alcool), “fangirl” (o admiratoare înfocată a revistelor de benzi desenate), “ragequit” (ieşire, marcată de furie, dintr-un joc video) şi “YouTuber” (utilizator frecvent al site-ului YouTube).
