I am looking for information/statistics on the amounts of finger/hand injuries suffered by an NFL player through the source of a NFL season.
Is there a good place where I can find statistics about the types and amounts of finger injuries in the NFL?
This site has updates twice a week and keeps an archive of injury reports from past years.

Is there a site where I can get statistics on flight over-bookings?
Some relatives of mine recently had their vacation spoilt by being "bumped off" their flights on both the outward and return legs.This was in spite of having checked in early and having boarding cards in their possession. Evidence is that the airline knew that they were overfilled eight hours before the departure time, so they re-routed a group of ten passengers, causing them to lose a day of their vacation. The same thing happened on the way back! Ironically, all the people had paid a surcharge to use that particular airline. Is there any site which gives information on the average overbooking by the various airlines? I have looked at dozens of sites and found nothing useful yet, using normal searches. Have we an insider out there who can point me in the right direction?

Have you tried www.DOT.gov? The number of tickets sold on a particular flight kinda goes by the "no show" factor of the flights in the previous years around that time of year. For example, if an average of 10 customers tend not to show up for their flights in previous years, that flight may be oversold by 10 this time around, and thats when EVERYONE shows up. Your relatives are definitely entitled to compensation if they were involuntarily denied boarding on the flight they booked. ***unless they bought a really cheap ticket through a cheap travel agency (priceline to name one). sometimes you are not entitled to oversale rights with those tickets, and you are the first to get bumped.

Does anyone know where I can find global statistics on rural and agricultural microfiance activities?
I'm doing a research on agricultural microfinance worldwide. It haven't had much succes on finding statistical data so far. There are lots of information on microfinance generally, but I'm looking for microfinance applied to agriculture activities. Thank you.

Which jobs would I be qualified for with an Economics major and a minor in Statistics, besides an actuary?
I'm a nontraditional student with 10 years of full time work experience and 5 years of management experience--all in the restaurant industry.
Which jobs would I be qualified for with an Economics major and a minor in Statistics, besides an actuary?
It depends. Do you consider yourself a macro or micro guy? Anyway, you can work in the financial sector (not necessary in the insurance sector) as an analyst, you can work in some economic governmental agency as an economist, or you can teach. Those are some options, but from experience I would recommend working in the financial sector, getting some experience in finance beside economics and statistics, and then doing the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst). For economist real money is actually in finance!

I need Statistics on the annual rate of economic growth?
The Annual rate of growth in the US during the 1920s or early 1930s
For example the Soviet Union had a 13.9% annual rate of growth during that time
I need Statistics on the annual rate of economic growth?
US Census Bureau would probably have what you need.
Reply:you could possibly look in an almanac, or you could search for a statistical chart. just type it into google.com( statistical chart of economic growth during 20's and 30's)

What are two good things that have to do with soccer that I can to statistics for?
This would be like free throws/free throws and shots/shots made in basketball. I need something like that.
What are two good things that have to do with soccer that I can to statistics for?
it is shots on target, total shots, number of cards, possession etc
Reply:passing acccuracy: correct passes/total number of passes
ball recovery: number of recoveries/number of players (10 field players).
Reply:Goals scored in a game. People died bcz of the game. Saves/Shots. Penalty kicks made. Bookings per player or game
Reply:time of a player accept the ball or kick the to his/her term palyer.
time of a player control the ball.

How are cancer statistics compiled? Who counts them?
I'm suspicious of cancer mortality statistics published by the government. What is a "survivor"? What is a "death?" Do people really die of one thing? What if they die from the treatment? Does early detection really alter the DATE of death or just the length of the period until death?
How are cancer statistics compiled? Who counts them?
As a cancer registrar it is my job to report all of this information to the government for the hospitals I work for. We stage the cancer, tell them what tests and treatment the patient had, if they were cancer free, alive or dead, etc. etc. We give them everything. It is required by law in every state of the United States. Each state gives the data to Washington DC and they give it to The World Health Organization as do all the countries that make up the United Nations. Researchers all over the world use this data and the government publishes the statistics.
The statistics are based on survival rates (how long the person lives) from the date of diagnosis and can be subcategorized by race, age, gender and stage at diagnosis.
No, people do not usually die of one thing. However, you can tell if early detection makes a difference if people with a stage 4 colon cancer live for a year after diagnosis and people with a stage 1 live for 10 years or more.
If someone dies and they were not cancer free at the time it is contributed to the cancer. If they were cancer free it is not.
Reply:Hi Neil. Your questions are valid and important, but not easy to answer.
First, for the latest cancer statistics use Pubmed to read this paper: CA Cancer J Clin. 2008 Mar-Apr;58(2):71-96. "Cancer statistics, 2008".
Cancer treatment is generally not very effective. The "war on cancer" has led to a dramatic increase in our understanding of the biochemical changes involved in carcinogenesis, but progress in treating most cancers has not been as rewarding.
Because of this poor treatment track record, cancer is the only disease that has a 'phony' definition of cure. A cancer is considered 'cured' if the patient survives 5 years after diagnosis. No other disease is considered cured if the patient survives 5 years after diagnosis!
I believe most cancer statistics (aside from the 5 year survival 'game') are legitimate (within the limitations of data collection). However, there are factors that are driven by scientific progress that can artificially 'change' cancer stats. A good example is the so-called "Will Roger's Phenomenon" (You can read many articles on this issue and cancer by going to Pubmed).
Will Rogers one said: "When the Oakies leave Oklahoma and move to California, they raise the average intelligence of both states!" So, how can this be true? It would be true if the intelligence of the Oakies is mid-way between those in California and the people they left behind in Oklahoma (Californians being dumber than Okies and remaing Oklahomans being smarter).
The Will Rogers Phenomena in Cancer has recently lead to 'improved' cancer survival statistics without any actual changes in cancer survival. Just 10-15 years ago, science could only seperate many cancers into 'early' or 'advanced' stages at the time of diagnosis. However, recent scientific advancements have enabled the identification of a third, intermediate, stage at diagnosis.
Generally, the new 'middle stage' of cancer severity was lumped into the 'early stage' groups. Now, it gets lumped into the 'advanced stage' groups. This results in better survival stats for both groups! - the Will Rogers Phenomenon!
Hope this wasn't too complex to be helpful.
Best wishes and good luck.
p.s. a few years ago my mother died from breast cancer. She survived more than 6 years after her initial diagnosis, so she went into the statistics as a 'cure'. Her funeral suggests otherwise.
