LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The space shuttle Endeavour, bolted to the top of a jumbo jet, was to take off on Friday from Edwards Air Force Base for a last airborne victory lap over California en route to its final frontier and retirement home - a science museum in Los Angeles.

Riding piggyback on a specially modified Boeing 747, the 75-ton winged spaceship was scheduled to depart at 8:15 a.m. Pacific time (1515 GMT) on the final leg of its cross-country trip that started on Wednesday in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The scheduled departure was about an hour later than originally planned due to fog over the San Francisco Bay area.

After making at least 20 planned low-altitude passes over some of California's best-known landmarks and scientific institutions, including Disneyland and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Endeavour and its carrier jet are expected to land at Los Angeles International Airport at about 12:45 p.m. local time (1945 GMT).

Friday's flight from Edwards, about 100 miles north of Los Angeles in the Mojave Desert, will mark Endeavour's last ferry flight, and the final airborne journey for any of NASA's three surviving shuttles.

NASA retired Endeavour and the rest of its shuttle fleet last year after completing the U.S. portion of the $100 billion International Space Station, a permanently staffed research complex orbiting 250 miles above Earth.

Its arrival Thursday afternoon at Edwards was a homecoming of sorts for the California-made spacecraft, which was built as a replacement for Challenger, the shuttle lost in a 1986 launch accident that killed seven astronauts.

Endeavour went on to fly 25 missions, including 12 to help construct and outfit the space station, and logged nearly 123 million miles (198 million km) in flight during 4,671 orbits.

Seven of those missions ended with Endeavour landing at Edwards, which served as NASA's principal backup for shuttle returns during much of the 30-year orbiter program in case of bad weather over Cape Canaveral.

'THERE'S MY SPACESHIP'

On its way to Edwards on Thursday, Endeavour and its carrier jet performed a fly-by pass over Tucson, Arizona, in tribute to former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, the retired astronaut who commanded Endeavour's final flight on his last mission in late May 2011.

Kelly and Giffords, who is still recuperating from a gunshot wound to the head suffered in an attempt on her life last year, watched the flyover from the roof of a Tucson parking garage.

"When it came into view, Mark said, 'There's my spaceship!'" recounted a former aide, C.J. Karamargin, who joined the couple for the event. "Gabby was just elated, hooting and hollering like the rest of us were."

After its arrival at Los Angeles, Endeavour will undergo preparations to be moved next month through city streets from the airport to its permanent home at the California Science Center in downtown Los Angeles, where the shuttle will be put on public display starting October 30.

To make way for the mammoth orbiter along its 12-mile (19-km) route to the museum, crews are cutting down nearly 400 trees, raising overhead utility wires and temporarily removing hundreds of utility poles, street lights and traffic signals. The science center has agreed to plant 1,000 new trees to replace those scheduled for removal.

Endeavour is the second of NASA's three surviving shuttles to be sent to a museum. The oldest surviving shuttle, Discovery, is on display at the Smithsonian Institution's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center outside Washington.

Atlantis, which flew NASA's 135th and final shuttle mission in July 2011, will be towed down the road to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in November.

NASA lost a fourth shuttle, Columbia, in another fatal accident in 2003. That shuttle was not replaced. A shuttle test vehicle, Enterprise, which has never flown in space, was delivered to a New York City museum.

On its way from Edwards to the Los Angeles, Endeavour and its carrier jet are expected to fly in low over San Francisco Bay and the California state Capitol in Sacramento before heading south for additional flyovers of such landmarks as Disneyland, the Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood sign, Malibu Beach and Los Angeles City Hall.

Head Games, a documentary about concussions in sports.

Head Games depicts a young football team in a David vs. Goliath struggle, but its real purpose is to portray a group of neurologists and advocates as underdogs fighting the business interets of football.

Still from Head Games ? 2012 Head Games the Film LLC.

Head Games, the new documentary from director Steve James (Hoop Dreams), begins on the sidelines of a football game at Near North Elementary in Chicago. It's a school for kids with special needs, mostly black and from poor families. The pint-sized players' coach barks out the story of David and Goliath: "Your helmets are your rocks," he says, urging them to use their rocks to slay some giants. Ninety minutes later, we're at the last game of the season; Near North is down with seconds left to play. A score appears at the bottom of the screen: "David 28 / Goliath 35." Will the boys pull this one out?

I bring up these scenes not because of what they say about the movie's theme?the apparent crisis of concussions in contact sports?but because of what they say about its method. The children?s struggle stands in for the team of underdogs at the center of the film, a scrappy crew of neurologists and advocates who are battling football?s businessmen and bureaucrats. But this nifty narrative deflects attention from some deeper facts. First, that the panic over on-field head trauma has given rise to major business interests, some of which tie in to the movie's backers. And second, that the science of head trauma remains cloaked in anecdote, beset by suppositions, and hopelessly benighted when it comes to how to treat the problem.

James starts his tale with Chris Nowinski, an ex-defensive lineman for Harvard's football team who spent some time as a pro wrestler and now helps run the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University. He's a natural showman, smart and charismatic, and we get to watch him re-enact a few of his greatest research moments. There he is in the library, poring over scientific papers and scrawling scary numbers in his notebook. He jots one down and then stares off into the distance. So much outrage in his eyes!

Another unlikely hero: the journalist who brought the dangers of concussions to a national audience. Acting on Nowinski's tip, the New York Times' Alan Schwarz linked the 2006 suicide of former Eagles defensive back Andre Waters to the buildup of tau proteins in his brain, a sign of repeated head trauma. The film paints Schwarz as a dogged, righteous nerd?we see the calculus books on his shelf?and savvy enough to call bullshit on the NFL's bogus science. "In a way, I was becoming the math teacher that I had always planned on being," he says of his early showdown with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. He laid out for Goodell what it meant that the brains of four ex-NFL players had shown the signs of a rare, neurodegenerative disease. "All I wanted to do was get him to understand the probabilities at work here, that it wasn't just me being a pain in the ass. It was the fact that when you're four out of four, for a million-to-1 shot, something's up," he explains.

That's when another nerd might pause to ask a question: a million-to-1, really? A major obstacle for research on traumatic encephalopathy comes from the fact that no one knows its prevalence. The neurologists at BU have found signs of the disease in most of the brains they've studied, but it's still not clear how many other football players have it, nor what the rate is in the population at large. All that makes it very difficult to figure out how CTE affects mental health, or what else it means for sufferers. When Schwarz calls the disease a "million-to-1 shot," he's fudging.

No big deal, perhaps, but for the fact that concussion research is such a fudge factory from end to end. Does CTE lead to suicide, as the film repeatedly suggests? I don't think there's any reason to say it does. (Andre Waters, for example, suffered from many other risk factors: chronic pain, a protracted family dispute, and?most glaringly?chronic and untreated depression.) Does having one concussion make the next one more likely or more dangerous, as the film repeatedly suggests? Maybe, but the evidence isn't as strong as you might think; most comes from rodent work, and what we know from people suggests the added risk extends for about a week. Should people with concussions rest until their symptoms disappear, as the film repeatedly suggests? That's been the standard advice since the 1940s, but there's very little evidence to show it's more than superstition. The only real work to support the notion came out in June, with equivocal results. (Researchers found that a week of rest taken right after getting hit did as much good as a week taken several months later.)

Let's stick to this last point, since the idea that players should be barred from competition after getting dinged is seen as gospel by nearly everyone who appears in the film. It's the closest thing we have to a solid fact about concussion. It's also the central point of Concussions and Our Kids, the new book (out this week) from one of the major subjects of Head Games, BU professor and concussion expert Robert Cantu. "Rest is the hallmark of concussion therapy," Cantu writes.He advises parents and doctors to keep young athletes away from school for weeks or months, if necessary, after a nasty head injury. They should avoid all physical exertion and also mental overload?the kind associated with taking tests and reading books. They should also be prevented from using Facebook, sending text messages, and watching movies.

The last of the 33,000 American surge troops sent to Afghanistan two years ago have left the battlefields of Afghanistan, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said.

With the departure of the last of the surge troops, there are now 68,000 American troops in Afghanistan.

Two years ago, President Obama announced a surge of troops to Afghanistan to help increase security amid the threat of Taliban insurgents. In announcing the deployment of 33,000 additional troops, President Obama said the surge would be temporary.

A phased withdrawal plan was developed where 10,000 troops would leave Afghanistan by July 2011 and the remaining 23,000 would leave Afghanistan by the end of September 2012.

Panetta, traveling in New Zealand on Thursday, released a statement announcing an end to the surge.

"As we reflect on this moment, it is an opportunity to recognize that the surge accomplished its objectives of reversing Taliban momentum on the battlefield, and dramatically increased the size and capability of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF)," Panetta's statement said. "This growth has allowed us and our ISAF Coalition partners to begin the process of transition to Afghan security lead, which will soon extend across every province and more than 75 percent of the Afghan population. At the same time, we have struck enormous blows against al Qaeda's leadership, consistent with our core goal of disrupting, dismantling and defeating al Qaeda and denying it a safe-haven."

NATO has agreed that all of its combat troops would leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014.

"It is important to underscore that even as our surge troops return home, there are roughly 68,000 Americans who remain in a tough fight in Afghanistan, alongside their NATO and Afghan partners," Panetta said. "We are a nation at war. But the international community is also strongly united behind our shared strategy to transition to Afghan security control, which will be completed by the end of 2014."

A U.S. official confirmed the withdrawal of the surge troops prior to Panetta's announcement.

The benchmark of 68,000 troops in Afghanistan reached earlier today was a development that had been anticipated for several days.

Just days ago, Pentagon figures showed there were 70,000 American troops in Afghanistan.

On Wednesday, Australian Brig. Gen. Roger Noble, the deputy operations chief for NATO in Afghanistan, refused to pinpoint for Pentagon reporters when exactly the "surge recovery" would be completed.

Noble said "not many more" surge troops remained to leave Afghanistan and that the goal of reaching 68,000 by Oct. 1 was "very, very close." He added that the timing was "very dependent on strategic lift, weather - and they change daily by sort of hundreds, if you know what I mean. "

Noble was referring to the last remaining troops that were still awaiting their flights out of Afghanistan, U.S. officials said.

There has also been a significant reduction in military equipment that matches the reduction in troops. Lt. Gen. John Terry, the commander of ISAF Joint Command, told Pentagon reporters that half of the 60,000 pieces of rolling stock and another 30,000 containers had already been shipped out of Afghanistan.

Many of the surge troops were sent to southern Afghanistan to fight the Taliban in its strongholds. As troops pushed into areas long controlled by the Taliban, the number of U.S. and NATO casualties began to rise.

Fifty-seven percent of the almost-2,000 U.S. fatalities in Afghanistan have occurred since the surge began in January 2010.

Gen. John Allen, the top NATO commander in Afghanistan, has said that in mid-November he will make a recommendation for how many more U.S. troops should leave Afghanistan in 2013.

It?s time for yet another Austin and Round Rock Dentist Basics 101 as we continue our talks on dental fears.

If you already feel guilty or embarrassed about your oral health situation, the last thing you want is to feel worse. You don?t need to be scolded, admonished like a child or assaulted by facts until your eyes glaze over.

Going to the dentist is stressful enough without the people who are supposed to help you piling on more guilt and blame. No one needs that, and no one wants to pay money to be treated that way.

While bombarding people with information may show professional knowledge, it demonstrates a complete disconnect from the relationship aspect of dentistry. We are people taking care of people. Dentists and medical professionals across the board should never forget their humanity and compromise that bond by indulging in lectures. What people really want is more caring in our care.

What you want as a patient are solutions and to feel the security of good health and the confidence of looking and feeling your best. You need a fresh new start with the hope and promise of a better tomorrow. A good dentist can provide that level of leadership.

It?s key to find a dental team dedicated to making you healthy and happy instead of posturing to make themselves look more knowledgeable and superior. Never forget that you?re the boss, so tell them you prefer a ?no lectures? approach.

At Family Tree Dental Group, we pride ourselves on our ability to connect with patients and put them at ease. If fear is keeping you away from the dental chair, stop in for a chat with the doctors and staff, and I guarantee we?ll assuage that fear. Visit your Austin dentist or Round Rock dentist at http://FamilyTreeDentalGroup.com or send us an email.

For a guy who has been followed by mayhem all year, 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was fairly low-key about the latest episode.

Smith needed a few stitches for a cut over his eye, but was otherwise unhurt in a car wreck Friday that saw a BMW land on its side.?The wreck happened when the driver swerved to avoid a deer. Smith said he was wearing his seat belt.?The unidentified driver had a ?broken back? according to the California Highway Patrol report.

?Everybody?s good,? Smith said, via Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee. ?We all walked away from it. The only thing messed up was the car.?

No, there?s a lot messed up about this one, the latest in a series of things that just seem to keep happening near Smith.

He played every snap in Sunday?s win over the Lions, and that seemed to be the important part.

?Being in something like that ? being in an accident ? and then being able to go out and have fun and do something that I love doing ? it was a relief to be able to get away from everything,? Smith said. ?So it was good that I was able to get out there and make plays and get the win. So I was fine. I was fine.?

The wreck comes after he suffered what were referred to as ?minor stab wounds? and two people were shot at a party in June, and he was cited for DUI in Miami Beach in January.

Asked if the pattern was disturbing to him (as it would be to anyone, or at least their employers), Smith seemed to shrug it off.

?I?m just focused on moving forward,? Smith said. ?If I saw a pattern with a person on my team, and he was able to make plays and play a good game, that?s what I?m worried about. I?m worried about how he plays the game. I?m worried about how he?s helping out this team. I?m worried about the wins we?re getting.?

Smith said the important part was that the incidents didn?t disrupt his game.

?It?s life,? he said. ?You can sit here and make it want you want. But really it?s life. I?m in a good spot right now. I was able to go out and get seven tackles and two sacks, and now I?m ready for Minnesota and ready for the rest of the season.?

Life is going to work and paying the bills and picking the kids up from school to go to the doctor.

When people around you are routinely shot and injured and endangered, the fact you had a couple of sacks might not be the most important thing to consider.

Something big has been brewing at HTC, most often referred to as the DLX or by its less-than-flattering 6435LVW name. While there have been unconfirmed photos of prototypes floating around, a Sina Weibo user has posted what we have reason to believe is an authentic press image of the finished result: meet the One X 5. As the name and image suggest, the phablet-class device should be dominated by a 5-inch (and possibly 1080p) screen that makes even a regular One X look dainty. Internal details haven't been nailed down alongside the looks, although previous benchmarks have had it using a Snapdragon S4 that might ultimately be a quad-core S4 Pro. There's no immediate signs of a stylus or other tricks besides that sea of glass. We may not have long to wait before we find out, however. HTC just happens to have a New York City event planned for this Wednesday, and previously detected links between the 6435LVW and Verizon could see the One X 5 quickly reach the US if it's meant to show at that gathering -- although it might get another name change to fit into the Droid family.

Update: We've been given a heads-up that this is a device posted as a "concept" by Danny Tu on Flickr, which raises doubt that we'll see exactly what's on show here (or see that name). However, it still lines up with earlier photos and what we've heard. We'll keep you posted as to whether or not it reflects reality in the end.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Rebuking Mitt Romney, President Barack Obama said Tuesday that Americans are not "victims" and that voters want to make sure that their president is "not writing off big chunks of the country."

Obama's remarks came after a secretly taped and newly released video showed the Republican presidential nominee describing "47 percent of the people" as Obama supporters who depend on government and believe they are victims.

"My expectation is that if you want to be president, you have to work for everyone, not just for some," Obama said in a taping of the "Late Show" with David Letterman.

It was Obama's first response to the Romney video, which roiled Romney's campaign and put him on the defensive about his views about nearly half the nation. The president appeared on the TV show before a night of fundraising in New York City.

In the video, taken during a May fundraiser and posted online Monday, Romney said it is not his job "to worry about those people." He was referring to what he called Obama's locked-in supporters who believe they are "entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."

Romney has since said he made his point inelegantly in trying to describe differing visions for the nation.

"There are not a lot of people out there who think they are victims" or simply entitled, Obama said.

Obama said people understand that the presidential candidates will make mistakes on the campaign trail. He said that includes one he regrets from 2008, when audio from one of his own private fundraisers had him saying that some residents of depressed rural areas get bitter and "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them."

Having said that, Obama added: "One thing I've learned as president is that you represent the entire country."

The president and Letterman also bantered over lighter subjects, with Obama joking about the Florida pizza restaurant owner who lifted him off the ground in a bear hug last week. "I think he fixed something in my back," Obama said.

The two men exchanged compliments on their appearances.

"You look good," Obama said.

"You haven't seen me naked," Letterman said.

Obama replied: "We're going to keep it that way."

Later, Obama spoke to about 200 people at a fundraiser at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Tickets for the event started at $12,500 per family.

He ended the night at a fundraiser hosted by Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z at the rap mogul's 40/40 Club.

About 100 supporters paid $40,000 per person to attend the party, which was expected to raise about $4 million for Obama's campaign and Democratic Party organizations.

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) ? The University of Massachusetts has again welcomed students back to campus with a world record-breaking culinary treat.

A year after starting the semester with a two-ton stir fry, staff and students at the Amherst campus on Monday made and chowed down on a nearly 6,700-pound seafood stew.

The stew was prepared in the same custom-built, 14-foot pan used to make the stir fry last year. The stew included 1,000 pounds of mussels, lobster, clams, haddock and salmon from sustainable sources in New England and Alaska.

It also contained 1,725 pounds of half and half, 1,137 pounds of potatoes, 575 pounds of onions and 145 pounds of bacon, among other ingredients.

Ken Toong, executive director of auxiliary services, says only vegetables from local farmers and the school's student-run garden were used.
