It’s fall, and that means its time for some football. It also means the potential for many of our athletes suffering concussions, whether during amateur play or professional sports. But thanks to Dr. Brian Ragan of Ohio University (OU), GPS tracking technology is helping researchers discover what happens to people after getting a concussion, with the goal of more accurately measuring recovery.

Every year approximately 300,000 concussions are reported as a result of sports or recreational activities, according to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). However, the number is likely to be significantly higher since not everyone who gets a concussion will see a doctor, the ACSM suspects. Between 2001 and 2005, 502,000 children and teens arrived in emergency rooms throughout the US for concussions, 50% of which were sports-related. Read the rest of this entry »

If you thought the mystery of the great white shark was going to remain hidden forever, you’re about to get a big surprise. Thanks to GPS technology, people will know more about these mysterious sharks who’ve have been terrorizing ocean swimmers for years — including where they prowl, feed, and breed.

Chris Fischer, along with the help of research vessel OCEARCH, is proving that tracking great white sharks movements is more than possible, it’s being successfully done.

The team is doing this by capturing the great white sharks and inserting the GPS tracking chip into their dorsal fin. Once the chip is secured, the shark will be let back into the Atlantic, where its movements will then be tracked for up to five years. Read the rest of this entry »

Dr. Phil is usually the one to dole out advise. But this time, it seems that Dr. Phil is the one needing some advice — on how to get his car back.

TMZ reports that his vintage 1957 Chevy convertible, pictured, was stolen from a Burbank, Calif., repair shop. Law enforcement sources told the site that robbers broke into the RODZ auto repair shop in order to swipe the gorgeous wheels.

The classic car, worth at least $80,000 — although some say it’s worth $100,000 — was stolen during a smash hit when the thieves broke into the roll-down door of the repair shop.

“I love the fins, the grille — everything about it,” Dr. Phil told the USA Today. About the theft, he says “You just feel violated.” Read the rest of this entry »
