Jonathan Boland was a rising football star in Oregon.

Then, four concussions later, he ended up incarcerated.

What his story tells us about America's youth concussion laws: portlandtribune.com/pt/9-news/4196… @theportlandtrib
@ThePortlandTrib To hear Jonathan's story, check out this week's episode: revealnews.org/episodes/lasti…
@ThePortlandTrib And even though all 50 states have youth concussion laws on the books, no one's sure which districts are tracking concussions – and which ones aren't.

We aim to change that. And we want your help: screendoor.dobt.co/reveal/what-ar…

One important question Cohen might not get asked today:

Why did he help facilitate the $9.5M sale of a Beverly Hills mansion Donald Trump got for free? revealnews.org/article/a-smal…
The deal worked like this:

In 2008, an Egyptian man named Mokless Girgis bought an opulent 10,400-square-foot mansion on famed Rodeo Drive.

He had a reputation for small-time financial scams.
Public records show that the sale price was $10.3 million.

Six weeks later, Girgis transferred the mansion to a shell company set up by Donald Trump – for no money at all. documentcloud.org/documents/4429…

We're honored to announce that "Kept Out," our investigation into modern-day redlining, has been named a finalist in the Business/Financial Reporting Category for this year's @SH_Awards.

Details: scripps.com/foundation/new…
The investigation, which we released in February of 2018, showed that in dozens of U.S. cities, people of color were being denied home loans at rates that far exceeded their white counterparts.

That's after controlling for a host of factors. revealnews.org/article/for-pe…
We found this disparity was particularly pronounced in Philadelphia.

There, we told the story of two loan applicants – one black, one white – whose experiences raise larger questions about who gets to buy a home, and who doesn’t, in America.

1/ More than a year ago, we asked D.C. police for bodycam footage of #Pizzagate shooter Edgar Maddison Welch’s arrest.

We finally have that never-before-seen footage.
2/ In the fall of 2017, we teamed up with @RollingStone and @typeinvestigate to find out how #pizzagate started and spread. revealnews.org/episodes/pizza…
3/ The reporting began with a Facebook post and led us from Missouri to Pennsylvania to Macedonia. We confronted conspiracy theorists and uncovered Twitter bots.

A bit more about @starecheski and Amanda Robb’s journey:

Right, rugby (and other contact sport) friends, gather round and let me try to share with you some slides & ideas I presented at the @NFLResearch Conference on Collision sport in London last week. This set was on nudging safer behavior, it’s a thread. But it’ll have pictures…1/
2/ First, a philosophical issue that *SHOULD* influence actions (subtly). Change is hard. It’s resisted. That’s as true in the #NFL as it is in #rugby, and in any other sport. These quotes are basically interchangeable - players, coaches, media etc - push back against change.
3/ However, we also can’t allow the tail to wag the dog - if risk is too high, change IS necessary. But how much? The key question, for me, is how you achieve “change without change?”, as this slide asks? Change X but not Y (the sport) (too much). That’s key to getting buy-in.

I have just discovered that #Oregon is proposing changes to the state #opioid policy for #chronicpain patients on #medicaid.
I am incensed and I don't even live in Oregon. So let's break this down. #disability #opioidhysteria #spoonies #painpatients #opioidepidemic
Buckle up.

To summarize:
-Oregon's Health Evidence Review Commission and Value-based Benefits Subcommittee (HERC and VbBS) are proposing changes to Medicaid
-The changes intend to discontinue long term opioids for chronic pain patients

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

1/ If u have played the game the way I have, this clip is not that difficult to break down. Notice Wilson’s right skate before or at the initial point of contact. It is leaving the ice intentionally, which means he thrusts his body into an upward direction, which is towards the
2/ head of Reese. If we look at the left skate during the point of contact, Wilson is rising up onto his toe, as if he is trying to jump, hence the reason he ended up sitting on the dasher of his own bench after the hit. It is clear that Reese sees Wilson coming but that has very
3/ little to do with the fact that Wilson clearly makes contact with the head/jaw of Reese, in direct result of jumping and thrusting his body in an upward motion. Bc of this, we have a human being who may get the right diagnosis of a #concussion yet will he receive the treatment
