| Yale study will be first to look at effects of war on women [New Haven Register, Conn.] Mon, 21 Dec 2009 06:00:00 -0800 Nov. 9--In the first study of its kind, Women's Health Research at Yale will examine whether women soldiers have more trouble adjusting to post-war life than men. Rani Desai, associate professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, is the principal investigator. She also is in charge of evaluating post-traumatic stress disorder treatment programs in the Veterans Affairs Department nationwide. "The point is really to look at whether men and women differ in their post-deployment experiences," Desai said. This is the opportune time for such a study because Iraq and Afghanistan are the first wars in which significant numbers of women have seen combat. Of 2 million Americans who have fought in the two wars, about 220,000 have been women, according to a press release. |

| NFL Seeks Limits on Tailgating to Curb Drinking Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:15:09 -0800 The NFL has adopted a "Fan Code of Conduct" in hopes of deterring behavior that league officials worry is scaring families away from games. The code includes 43 recommendations, and a league auditor is checking the NFL's 32 teams for compliance. The NFL office sees a correlation between the length of tailgating and the incidence of rowdy behavior and intoxication at games. "We hope folks will implement this, or gradually work toward the 3-1/2 hours, because we think it provides us with a better opportunity to have fans come into our building in a condition that's not impaired," said Jeffrey Miller, strategic security director for the NFL. |
