Rabbit mating season usually runs from March through September, so now’s the time when people stumble upon nests of baby bunnies.

That's the premise for a new PSA from the Concussion Legacy Foundation, which wants parents to consider the long-term damage youth tackle football could inflict on their kids. The goal is for parents to keep kids out of tackle football until they're 14 to lessen their risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. Plus, children's bodies aren't built to withstand the head-bobbling hits of tackle football, he told CNN. "They can choose not to play tackle football at all," he said. Bailes called the comparison between smoking and tackle football "misleading and inaccurate."

"Tackle football is like smoking," a youthful voice-over says as a smiling, motherly type lights a cigarette for one of the pre-teen players. "We now have the data that show that playing youth tackle football and developing CTE is correlated in a very similar way to smoking, and developing lung cancer," Nowinski said. "We're trying to help parents visualize that those two things are equally bad: Letting your kid smoke and letting your kid play tackle football are both bad ideas." Some states, including California, New York and Illinois, have discussed banning tackle football for children under 12. We can retool the game where they can still glean the benefits, enjoy themselves, get exercise and delay tackle football until junior high or high school."

A new back-to-school commercial is turning heads because it is more than meets the eye. Teens show off the ordinary items they would bring to school like book bags, sweaters, folders and skateboards, and demonstrate how they might save their lives in case of a school shooting. The chilling PSA was released by Sandy Hook Promise, a gun safety advocacy group formed in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre in 2012. Most chilling of all is a scene of a young girl, hiding in the bathroom and using a new phone to text her mom during a school shooting, tears running down her face.

Fergus Linehan, director of the Edinburgh International Festival, told CNN Business that many artists think the UK currency could weaken further ahead of the October 31 deadline for Brexit, eating into their earnings. The Edinburgh festival decided last November to take out insurance against a weaker pound, buying euros and dollars when one pound purchased $1.30 instead of the current $1.22. The Los Angeles Philharmonic and Berlin's Komische Oper have asked to be paid in dollars and euros, respectively. "We are doing work with people from Lebanon to Shanghai and they are also asking for tour fees to be confirmed in dollars or euros," Linehan said. The festival exchanged 1 million for dollars and euros in November, and will likely do so again next year, despite the costs and hassle.
