Fish Toss in Seattle
- dsashin, CNN iReport producer
By Jannet Walsh
Seattle, Washington
I travelled on the Amtrak Empire Builder train from St. Cloud, Minn. to Seattle, Wash., starting early Tuesday morning, taking more than 35 hours, to a city a I have many great memories as a child, Seattle, Washington.
My family would take train trips to Seattle, Wash. in the summer as my late father, Martin J. Walsh Jr. worked for a railroad and we had rail passes, making for adventures. I had not returned to Seattle since my college days, and decided it was time.
The Pike Place Market started in 1907, originally with only eight farmers, according to the official market website, http://pikeplacemarket.org. Today you can find antiques, galleries, clothing, food, gifts, handmade crafts, restaurants and more.
I enjoyed meeting Justin Hall and Anders Miller at the world famous Pike Place Fish Market as they tossed fish, attracted a crowd and answered my fish tossing questions. Learn more about the fish tossing at the following website: http://www.pikeplacefish.com.

2 from Burlingame firm dead in fall from crane in Winters
Two men working for a Burlingame construction company died Friday morning after falling 80 feet from a crane at a work site in Winters, a small Yolo County city west of Sacramento, authorities said.
Disney Construction was building a bridge over Putah Creek just outside the city's quiet downtown when the basket that hoisted the workers came loose, authorities said, falling and crashing into timber covering a 30-foot hole.
There, it took rescuers several hours to recover the men's bodies.
"They're in a bit of a precarious position," said Winters Fire Chief Aaron McAlister as dozens of responders joined the effort to pull the victims from the edge of the pit, which had been dug to hold a footing for the new bridge.
The names of the workers were not immediately released.
The 20-person construction crew, which included a father of one of the victims, watched as the recovery proceeded and more than a half dozen investigators combed the scene.
The bridge, at Putah Creek Road and Railroad Avenue, has been under construction since September and replaces a decades-old bridge that connects Yolo and Solano counties.
Cal/OSHA, the state's workplace safety regulator, said a hook that secured the lift basket to a cable had failed and caused the men to plunge to the ground at about 7 a.m. Officials ordered Disney to stop operating cranes at the site until "hazardous conditions are abated," said Cal/OSHA spokesman Greg Siggins.
The firm has been cited on two occasions in the past decade for safety violations in California, according to state records. The latest violation, in 2008, occurred during work the company was doing at the Devil's Slide Tunnel in Montara.
Disney representatives did not return a call seeking comment.

Excelsior College has the ability to direct deposit refunds to your savings or checking account. This would allow for quicker access to your refunds by eliminating the time it takes to mail your refund and the possibility of your bank putting a hold on the check when deposited. If you are interested in this, please complete our direct deposit form and send it back to the Bursar's Office per form instructions.
Please note: if your refund is for a payment made to us by credit card, we are required to process your refund back to that credit card. The direct deposit process is for payments made to us via check, Nelnet payment plan, or Financial Aid credit balance refunds.
Federal and Financial aid is available regardless of income, with low interest rates and flexible payment options. Excelsior College is the pioneer in offering federal aid for a completely online education. Certificate programs do not qualify for financial aid.
Categories: Associate Degree Nursing Programs, Bachelor's Nursing Degree Programs, Business General, Certificate in Health Care Informatics, Costs & Financing, Health Sciences General, Health Sciences Master's, Liberal Arts Associates, Liberal Arts Bachelor's, Master of Arts in Liberal Studies, Master's Degree in Nursing Education, Master's Degree in Nursing Informatics, MBA, Registered Nurse to Master's Degree Program, Technology General
Yes. Excelsior College offers more than 60 different scholarships for a wide variety of programs. To find out more, visit our Scholarships pages.
The best place to start is by filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
To learn more about your eligibility for federal programs, visit the Title IV Federal Student Financial Aid page. This page also has information on the definition of financial need, how federal aid awards are determined, loan application procedures, and disbursement of funds.
The United States Department of Education provides a formula (or the federal methodology) that is used to determine your eligibility for federal and most state funds. Excelsior College uses the same, consistent method for all students to determine your ability to fund your education and costs. This method incorporates an assessment of your family's income and assets.
Your cost of attendance at Excelsior College is based on direct and indirect expenses. Direct educational expenses include tuition and either the enrollment or annual fee. Indirect costs such as books, room and board, and a technology allowance are also taken into account. Indirect costs can also include child care, tutoring, food/housing for students, clothing, and other related expenses. Although you only see direct expenses on college billing statements, we use the comprehensive cost to determine your eligibility for financial aid. Cost of attendance may vary based on the number of credits and length of your period of enrollment.
In addition to the tuition costs, you should plan for costs associated with purchasing textbooks, as well as your Internet and phone charges. There is also a student services fee assessed annually, so your final program costs will be dependent on how long it takes you to complete your degree. See these pages for current information:
Yes. Excelsior College offers active military servicemembers, veterans, and their families a wide variety of financial aid options. To learn more about the options available, visit these pages:
If you are experiencing financial difficulty and find it hard to repay your loans, you can discuss several options with your lender or the holder of your loan. Depending upon your circumstances, you may qualify for a deferment, a forbearance, or even cancellation of your loan. Please visit our Delaying Loan Payments page for more information.
If you have Federal student loans, you can refer to the Federal Student Aid Web Site for information about repayment options. If you have loans through a lender such as a bank or a credit union, you should contact the lender directly for more information.
The difference between the cost of attendance and the expected family contribution is the student's financial need—the gap between the cost of attending Excelsior College and the student's resources. The financial aid package is based on the amount of financial need. The process of determining a student's need is known as need analysis.
Cost of Attendance (COA) – Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = Financial Need
There are several options for private loans. To learn more, visit our Private Loan Programs page.

More is breaking us apart. More information, more connection.
We're in a world of shrinking meaning and increasing anxiety.
There are no costs to information. Pragmatically, it's free to store, access and process information. Take a simple example. There is no practical cost to email – drafting, blasting, storing or sending. And the lack of friction involved with email is making it's value approach 0 (or negative). It takes more time to "manage" email than it does to create and send. Does a tree falling in a forest make a sound? Does an email sitting unread in an email inbox have value?
I see a wave of technology backlash. People "disconnecting." There is a real cost to being connected. Humans aren't built to be "always connected." Like everything I think we need ebbs and flows. Solace and togetherness. Blistering and glacial paces both.
People are inundated with so much information that facts don't have value. People want implications. They want the step beyond facts. Problematically, they value opinions, then, more than facts. And oddly, frictionless information, rather than bringing on a new higher form of scientific and rational society, is pushing us the other way. Culture is formed by emotion, opinion, the opposite of rational thought. We are moving backwards. Is anyone noticing?
In the last century we've industrialized and made things efficient. We have expectations about the market satisfying any need or want. It's gone so far that we now expect to "know" things as simply as we order at McDonalds. I don't want to think. Tell me what I need, what I want. Tell me the things to buy. Tell me what I should read. I want the world curated and offered up to me in the most efficient way. We rationalize this laziness as a form of productivity. The lie is that we convince ourselves that by making so many parts of our life efficient we can better enjoy the really meaningful things.
But what is meaningful today? I'd love a census of meaning. I'd love to map how meaning has changed over decades and centuries. It's the age-old question — and with all our advances in technology and science, we've gotten nowhere with meaning.
Is meaning a form of faith? Is it an illusion, our White Whale? Meaning can't be verified, measured, tested. But meaning does have a partner. Humans are unable able to ascribe meaning without the accompaniment of story.
The language of narratives is the human OS. If you want to get people to think, do, or believe, you do it through stories. It's not with facts or evidence or science. Many of the storytellers with the most reach manipulate. They rely on age-old hacks and tricks to get people to think, feel, and do.
The problem is that these story hacks inhibit progress. Going back to the standard tried and true tropes reinforce the worst of our nature. For all our technological and scientific progress, we, culturally, are as backwards as we've ever been. We are proud of strong convictions and passion — cherry picking information that reinforces what we already believe (or want to believe).
A day doesn't pass where I don't see some public figure making a statement that seems wildly anachronistic. We have anachronistic beliefs. We take 2 technological leaps forward and 3 cultural steps back. The same culture responsible for making the Internet, space travel, and fusion possible, creates damaging fallacies like the belief there are no industrial effects on the climate, life-saving inoculations create health problems, and somehow freedom can translate to the right to bear arms and not the right to love another human.
It's seems some of our core wiring is archaic. Our hardware and firmware update in such slow fashion — while everything we build and use iterates so many more cycles. It's as if we have a shelf of Playstation 3 games and an Atari 2600 for a console.
Stories need to be hacked. We need to rewire to slow things down, find the in-betweens, understand context. We need evidence, analysis, and science to become emotional triggers. We need ways to reduce the more without throwing away truth. Problem is – a human will always choose a good story over a painful fact.

9/11 monument will be delayed
Everyone is curious to see the new monument representing the tragic events occurring on 9/11. Bob Tiffany of the 9/11 Memorial Committee confirmed this week that Borger will not see the monument for another few months. According to Tiffany, they are still in the process of getting drawings for the monument. "Once we get the drawings ready, we still need to send out bids. It won't be ready for at least two or three months after the drawings are drawn up," he said. On May 11, 2011, two large pieces of World Trade Center steel from Ground Zero arrived in Borger, escorted by emergency vehicles.The procession started at Rice Construction and proceeded down Cedar to Zachry Construction, where the monument will be made for the 9/11 Memorial in Borger's Huber Park.The two pieces of steel for the memorial each measure 78" X 34" X 15" and each weighs 1,290 pounds. According to Tiffany, each beam representing the World Trade Center will sit atop a rusted steel plate that will rest on a five-sided base. The complete event is to be told sequentially on the panels of the five-sided base which represents the Pentagon. Topping out the bottom piece will be green stone representing the field where one of the airliners crashed in Pennsylvania. The story of the 9/11 tragedy will be told in copy that is laser-cut into the stainless steel base platform. The main platform is covered with black granite tile. The pedestal, to be made out of gray unpolished granite, will rise on a five-sided convergent tile-covered column and capped by a polished stainless steel platform. The World Trade Center beams will rise from a Cor-ten steel pentagon set in the corner of the green granite pentagon. Local dolomite will be used for the perimeter wall to establish local context for the monument. There will also be local greenery surrounding it as well. The memorial will be located north of the bird sanctuary and north of the Rotary Club flagpole. Anyone with questions on the memorial or wanting to contribute may contact Tiffany at 886-3879 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

My favorite part of this book was what the Grandma did to make the animals run. The illustrations are good. They helped me understand the book.
I would recommend this book because it made me feel happy. I didn't think a Grandma could get animals to move out of the way.

Guest post by neurobiologist Pat Levitt, Ph.D., of the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine, in Los Angeles
Many children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have co-occurring medical conditions that affect their quality of life and response to therapy. One of the most common of these medical conditions is gastrointestinal (GI) disorder. Our research directly examines the relationship between the two and creates a foundation for understanding the biology and behaviors unique to children affected by both disorders. It is described, in detail, in our recent report in the journal Autism Research.
Our multi-disciplinary research group included neuroscientists, a clinical psychologist, a pediatrician and a pediatric gastroenterologist. We enrolled 121 children through Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, primarily through Vanderbilt's autism clinic, which is part of the Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network (ATN). These children fell into one of three groups: those with ASD and GI disorder, those with ASD only and those with GI disorder only. Their parents completed a dietary journal and questionnaires about the children's behavior and GI symptoms. In addition, a pediatric gastroenterologist evaluated the children with GI disorders.
We found very high agreement - more than 90 percent - between parent reports of GI symptoms and the gastroenterologist's evaluations. While the specific description of the GI condition sometimes varied between parent and physician, these findings suggest that contrary to what some people think, parents do not over-report GI conditions in their children. Also contrary to some popular thought, the children's diet and medications did not significantly contribute to their GI distress.
Overall constipation was the most common GI diagnosis. It occurred in 85 percent of children with both autism and GI disorder and was most likely to occur in children who were younger, nonverbal and/or had significant social difficulties. In fact, we found a six-fold increase in communication disturbances in the group of children who had both ASD and GI disorder, compared to children with ASD only.
This strong association between constipation and language impairment has the support of a previous study showing a unique genetic association between children with ASD and GI disorder. As such, our findings further highlight the need for healthcare providers to be vigilant in detecting and treating GI symptoms in children on the spectrum. This is particularly important in the care of nonverbal children who can't describe their distress. Our research also provides a strong foundation for further research on the causes and treatment of autism associated with GI disorder. We need to know more about how these co-occurring conditions affect the mental and physical health of so many children and adults.

Knowing where the service ends can put an end to some typical problems.
The National Electrical Code refers to the phrase "service equipment" in almost 50 Code sections. Understanding where the service begins and ends is critical in the proper application of many Code rules — particularly those for grounding, bonding, and disconnecting means. To understand how to apply these rules, review the following definitions in Art. 100.
Service point. This is the connection point between the serving utility facilities and the premises wiring.
Service conductors. These run from the service point to the service disconnecting means (the service equipment, not the meter). Service-entrance conductors can enter an installation from overhead (service drop) or underground (service lateral).
Service equipment. This necessary equipment, which usually consists of circuit breakers or switches and fuses and their accessories, is connected to the load end of service conductors that serve a structure and constitutes the main control and cutoff of the supply. Service equipment does not include the metering equipment, such as the meter and/or meter enclosures (Sec. 230-66).
Reviewing these definitions should help you understand that service conductors originate at the serving utility (service point) and terminate on the line side of the service disconnecting means (service equipment). The following conductors and equipment on the load side of service equipment are considered feeder conductors:
Secondary conductors from customer-owned transformers.
Feeder conductors from generators, UPS systems, or photovoltaic systems.
Feeder conductors serving remote structures.
You must install feeder conductors in accordance with the requirements in Arts. 215 (feeders) and 225 (outside wiring). In addition, Sec. 250-30 contains the grounding requirements for separately derived systems, and Sec. 250-32 outlines the grounding requirements for separate structures. Do not apply the grounding requirements for services (Sec. 250-24) to feeder conductors and equipment.
Neutral-to-case connections in violation of Secs. 250-6 and 250-142(b) create a condition where neutral current has multiple return paths to the grounded (neutral) conductor of a power supply. This allows objectionable neutral current to flow on the metal parts of the electrical system and building, which can lead to fire, shock hazard, and power quality issues with digital equipment.
Too many electrical workers (and inspectors) think service conductors include the secondary conductors of transformers and supply conductors to a remote building. This misunderstanding has led to several improper and unsafe neutral-to-case connections at disconnects and panelboards. To ensure a safe electrical installation, know where the service begins and ends. You must ground service equipment, separately derived systems, and separate buildings and structures in accordance with Secs. 250-24, 250-30, and 250-32, respectively.

Twenty years ago, in many regions of the world, it would have been an unusual sight to observe a 70-year-old woman enthusiastically exercising in a public place. At that time, throughout many countries and cultures, old age was considered to be a time in which older persons were expected to take it easy and gradually disengage from many of the trials and tribulations associated with employment and other adult responsibilities. The prevailing models of retirement encouraged older adults to adopt relatively passive lifestyle choices and overtly or subtly discouraged seniors from being physically active (McPherson, 1995). This emphasis on passivity and disengagement was inconsistent with a growing body of knowledge that was emerging at that time regarding the adverse health consequences of sedentary living and the importance of remaining physically active across the life course (Chodzko-Zajko, 2001).
To develop a cohesive strategy with respect to the promotion of health and well-being of older persons throughout the world, in April 1995, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a new program on aging and health. The goal of this program was to respond to the challenges of population aging in a dynamic, life course oriented fashion. Writing in an editorial in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity, Alexandre Kalache, the director of the WHO Aging and Health Program, stressed that a major role of the WHO Aging and Health Program would be to raise awareness of the importance of lifestyle factors in healthy aging through a combination of advocacy, training, and research (Kalache, 1996).
One of the first initiatives of the new program was to focus on educating health professionals and public policy makers about the importance of avoiding sedentary and disengaged lifestyles in old age. To increase awareness and build consensus among decision makers and other influential professionals, the WHO decided to commission a consensus statement about the importance of physically active lifestyles in old age. In December 1995, a scientific advisory panel composed of researchers, public health officers, and policy makers from each of the six WHO regions met in Germany to formulate a working draft of a scientific consensus statement about physical activity. This draft was subsequently disseminated widely for comment and revision and presented to the scientific community at the fourth World Congress on Physical Activity, Aging, and Sport, which was held in Heidelberg, Germany, in August 1996. The final WHO Heidelberg Guidelines for Promoting Physical Activity Among Older Persons were published and translated into numerous languages and disseminated broadly through a wide variety of governmental, nongovernmental, academic, and social outlets.
The Heidelberg Guidelines presented, for the first time, a clear and unambiguous statement from the WHO endorsing the crucial role of regular physical activity as an integral component of healthy aging. The Guidelines were not intended to be either a comprehensive review of the scientific literature or a practical handbook on how to exercise; rather, the Guidelines were designed to be a definitive and authoritative statement of consensus from the scientific community that was endorsed and disseminated by the World Health Organization. The Guidelines confirmed, with the full weight of the WHO behind them, that the evidence was clear: Regular physical activity should be a part of the daily routine for the vast majority of older persons, and regular physical activity is one of the most effective means whereby individuals can influence their own health and functional abilities.
An almost immediate impact of the publication of the WHO Guidelines was an increase in interest in the promotion of physical activity in the older adult population across virtually all regions of the WHO. Universities and colleges in many member states began to develop courses and specializations focusing on physical activity for older adults. Consensus curriculum guidelines were published by the International Society for Aging and Physical Activity and endorsed by the WHO (ISAPA, 2004). Gradually, more physical activity opportunities for older adults began to emerge across the member states. Physicians and health professionals around the world were becoming more willing to encourage their patients to participate in exercise and physical activity. A gradual consensus was emerging that WHO member states had a responsibility to promote physical activity as an essential component of an effective national strategy to promote healthy aging.
Although the publication of the WHO Heidelberg Guidelines marked an important first step in the WHO campaign to promote physically active lifestyles in the older adult population, the Guidelines were targeted primarily at professional audiences, and they were not designed to increase general public awareness of the importance of maintaining physically active lifestyles. The next phase of the WHO strategy was to initiate a coordinated public information campaign to bring the issue of physical activity to the attention of the general public around the world.
The WHO chose to launch its public information campaign about the importance of physical activity for older persons in the fall of 1999. This was a particularly appropriate time for the WHO to focus on active aging because its parent organization, the United Nations, had designated 1999 to be the International Year of Older Persons (IYOP). The International Year of Older Persons focused the attention of the world on the many challenges facing society as a result of the remarkable aging of the population that had occurred throughout the 20th century. Alexandre Sidorenko, Officer-in-Charge of the United Nations Program on Aging, noted that the IYOP was not intended as a purely celebratory event, but rather 1999 should be viewed as a springboard for launching a wide variety of long-term strategies on aging at both the national and international levels (Sidorenko, 1999). In excess of 300 national and international scientific congresses were organized in conjunction with the IYOP. Conferences were held in more than 75 countries, thousands of symposia and workshops were organized, and tens of thousands of papers were presented.
In conjunction with these efforts around the world, on October 2, 1999, the WHO Aging and Health Program launched a campaign to increase public awareness of the importance of physical activity. A central feature of the campaign was a series of coordinated walks for older persons collectively known as the Global Embrace. The goal of the Global Embrace was to emphasize the importance of active and successful aging by organizing walking events across the world synchronized in such a way as to start at the same time of day in every time zone throughout the globe (WHO, 2000). The first walk of the day began in New Zealand and was followed by Australia, Japan, China, India, Africa, and the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. It is estimated that by the end of the last walk of the day, well over 5,000 communities and in excess of two million individuals had participated in the Global Embrace. The WHO estimates that the Global Embrace was the single largest health-promotion event in history (WHO, 2000).
The extensive media participation in the Global Embrace greatly magnified the reach of this transnational event beyond the two million walkers to a much larger audience around the globe. The wide variety of different types of events serves to underscore the critical importance of developing culturally appropriate messages when attempting to communicate with the general population about important health behaviors.
In addition to its leadership role in high-visibility individual events such as Global Embrace, the WHO Aging and Health Program has also worked closely with partners around the world to promote physically active lifestyles through a series of multifaceted public information campaigns. One of the most widespread of these initiatives is the Agita Mundo campaign that was launched in conjunction with the World Health Day in 2002. The primary purpose of the Agita Mundo campaign is to promote physical activity as a healthy behavior for people of all ages around the world. The Agita Mundo campaign is designed to stimulate and encourage the dissemination of information on the health benefits of physical activity and effective strategies to increase physical activity, advocate for physical activity and health, and support the development of national and local programs for physical activity promotion.
There can be little doubt that the WHO efforts to publicize the importance of physical activity for older adults have been successful in bringing these issues to the attention of both health and policy professionals and the general public at large. Events such as the Global Embrace and campaigns such as Agita Mundo have focused the attention of the world on issues related to active and successful aging. However, these initiatives have focused primarily on disseminating information about the importance of physical activity and have paid limited attention to how to integrate physical activity opportunities into a broader and more comprehensive public policy framework in the area of aging.
The WHO began to focus more explicitly on public policy considerations. In the past, the WHO Aging and Health Program had advocated for the adoption of specific health promotion strategies without fully considering the economic, cultural, and political realities under which such strategies were to be implemented. As part of the WHO's contribution to the 2002 World Assembly on Aging, the WHO developed an international policy whitepaper titled Active Aging: A Public Policy Framework. The WHO Policy Framework argues that all strategies to promote active and successful aging must be integrated into a comprehensive and far-reaching public policy that embraces a multisectoral approach to successful aging (WHO, 2002).
Specifically, the WHO vision of healthy and active aging in the 21st century requires the simultaneous involvement and engagement of many sectors of society including health and social services, education, employment and labor, finance, social security, housing, transportation, and both rural and urban development. Physical activity promotion is no longer considered to be the responsibility of the health and academic sectors alone; rather, a multisectoral coalition will need to be mobilized if our policies and programs are to be effective. The realization that effective health promotion strategies cannot exist in isolation but rather must be consistent with and reflective of the economic, political, and cultural realities of the societies in which they are to be implemented marked an important advance in the WHO strategy to promote physical activity.
The WHO Active Aging Policy Framework reminds us that all effective health promotion strategies will need to be firmly grounded within the local, national, and regional reality. These realities must take into consideration such factors as epidemiological transition, rapid changes in the health sector, globalization, urbanization, changing family patterns, and environmental degradation, as well as persistent inequalities and poverty, particularly in developing countries where the majority of older persons live. Furthermore, the WHO Active Aging Policy Framework recognizes that effective policies and programs designed to promote health and well-being in old age will need to adopt a life-course perspective that acknowledges that many of the determinants of chronic conditions and disability in old age have their roots in childhood and young and middle-age adult life. A "one size fits all" model of successful aging simply will not work.
But perhaps the most significant message to emerge out of the WHO Active Aging Policy Framework is the notion that there are numerous and diverse determinants associated with active and successful aging. To truly prepare for successful and active aging, national strategies will need to acknowledge a complex combination of economic, social, personal, environmental, and behavioral determinants. To age successfully, older persons will need to be not only physically active, but also socially, intellectually, culturally, and (for many seniors) spiritually active. Somewhat surprisingly, to date, professionals in the area of physical activity and aging have focused little attention to the development and implementation of integrated programming opportunities for seniors. One of the challenges for our profession will be to learn how to integrate physical activity into the wider social, cultural, and economic context of active aging as a whole.
A logical extension of the WHO Multiple Determinants Model of Active Aging has been a move away from the promotion of individual physical activity interventions or campaigns in favor of more complex public health initiatives in which physical activity is embedded as an integral component of a much broader health promotion and disease prevention strategy. For example, in 2007, the WHO launched a worldwide initiative to support the development of Global Age-Friendly Cities.
The goal of the WHO Global Age-Friendly Cities Guide is to encourage communities around the world to take action to make the environment more supportive and accommodating to persons of all ages (WHO, 2007). The WHO report suggests that making cities age friendly is one of the most effective policy approaches for responding to global aging. An age-friendly community is one in which policies, services, and structures in both the physical and social environment are designed in such a way as to enable older persons to age actively, to be secure, to enjoy good health, and to participate fully in society.
Shortly after the release of the Global Age-Friendly City report, the WHO began work on the development of a consensus statement about falls prevention in older age. The WHO Global Report on Falls Prevention in Older Age is a further example of how WHO strategy in the area of physical activity promotion has evolved from one that focuses on physical activity alone, into one that develops more complex initiatives that include physical activity as part of a broader public health agenda (WHO, 2008). The WHO Falls Prevention Report describes a cohesive, multisectoral approach to falls prevention that is built on the foundation of a proactive and flexible public health policy grounded in the principles of health promotion and disease prevention.
The WHO report notes that falls among older people are a large and increasing cause of injury, treatment costs, disability, and death in virtually all regions of the world. For injuries of the same severity, older people experience more disability, longer hospital stays, extended periods of rehabilitation, and a higher risk of subsequent dependency, as well as a higher risk of dying. Fortunately, there is now compelling evidence that risk factors for falling can be influenced by the implementation of targeted intervention strategies designed to modify the various intrinsic and extrinsic determinants known to increase the likelihood of falling.
The WHO Falls Prevention Model provides a comprehensive multisectoral framework for reducing falls and fall-related injuries among older persons. The model is designed to identify policies, practices, and procedures that will build awareness of the importance of falls prevention and treatment among older persons; that will improve the assessment of individual, environmental, and societal factors that increase the likelihood of falls; and that will facilitate the design and implementation of culturally appropriate, evidence-based interventions that will significantly reduce the number of falls among older persons.
The WHO report notes that regular physical activity has been shown to prevent and/or lower an older person's risk for falling in community and home settings. For healthy older adults at low risk for falls, engaging in a broad range of physical activities on a regular basis is likely to be sufficient to substantially reduce the risk for falling. In contrast, older adults at higher risk for falls will benefit from engaging in structured exercise programs that systematically target the risk factors amenable to change. Older adults identified at the highest risk for falls will benefit from an individually tailored exercise program that is embedded within a larger, multifactorial intervention approach.

Last member of The Passionate Witch crew shares his story
R. Paul Robison of Broken Bow, known to his Army Air Corp buddies as "Roby", was serving as a top turret gunner aboard the plane The Passionate Witch, when it was shot down Jan. 11, 1944, over Brunswick, Germany. It was the eighth mission for the crew. All 10 crew members got out of the plane, however the pilot's parachute did not open and he was killed. The rest were taken prisoner. The POWs were eventually taken to a camp, Stalag 17B, just outside of Krems, Austria. They would spend more than a year there before finally being liberated, May 3, 1945. More than 65 years later, Paul still remembers nearly every detail of the time he spent in that POW camp, and the men he spent that time with. His memory got put to the test a couple of weeks ago when Paul received a visit from two of the sons of one of his closest friends during that time. Ralph Allen, known to the crew as "Al", was the tail gunner on the crew. "Roby" and "Al" spent a great deal of time together in Stalag 17 B, sleeping side by side the entire time they were kept prisoner. Two of Al's sons paid a visit to Paul April 15 and 16, with the sole purpose of finding out as much information as they could about their father and his time in the military. Greg Allen, of Apex, N.C., and Dwight Allen, of Willsville, N.Y., came to the Robison home prepared. They set up video equipment to tape their interview with Paul, and had a 150- question typed questionnaire for him. They also set up a computer equipped with Skype so a third brother, Jim, who lives in China, could be part of the interview. Paul had kept in close contact with Al over the years. In fact, he tried to keep in touch with all the members of the crew. But some, he says, were just not interested in doing so because it was too painful for them. Paul and his wife, Ann, fondly remember a special visit they had from Al and his wife one summer back in the late 80s. They were joined by another POW who was from a different crew but was also in Stalag 17 B. The three couples spent a week together at the Robison home, and Paul says they had a great time. Al passed away nearly two years ago, and the three sons are now in the process of putting together a book about their father. As the only surviving member of the crew, Paul was asked to help fill in some of the blanks Al's sons had. "I was able to answer just about every question they had for me," Paul says. It wasn't the first time Paul had met one of Al's sons. He and Ann had met Dwight several years ago at a reunion in Dayton, Ohio, that Dwight was attending with his parents. Paul has also been in touch over the years with family members of some of the other men he served with. One member of his crew, affectionately referred to as "Charlie", has a son and daughter-in-law whom Paul has corresponded with for several years. That couple will be visiting Broken Bow in a couple of weeks. Jim Allen has made a trip to Austria and drove the route, as nearly as he could tell, that his father and the rest of the POWs were forced to walk. Greg and Dwight plan to make the trip to Austria as well in the near future to do more research for the book. The brothers plan to publish the book in about two years. "I'm 88-years-old now. I just hope I'm around to see it," Paul laughs. Though recalling some of the details of his time as a POW are often unpleasant for Paul, he does enjoy talking about his old friends. "We all got along very well. But then we had to, our lives depended on each other!" Paul says it means a great deal to him to have contact with the wives, sons and daughters of the brave men he served with in World War II. "I really feel privileged to be able to be in contact with some of this second generation," says Paul. "Especially since I'm the only one left."

The Southeastern Conference on Monday announced its Football Players of the Week, recognizing performances from the 13th week of the 2013 season.
OFFENSE: Terrence Magee, RB, LSU
• Rushed for a career-high 149 yards and 1 TD on 13 carries in win over No. 9 Texas A&M.
• Had a 65-yard run on LSU's third possession of the game that setup his 1-yard TD run to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead in the contest.
• Averaged 11.5 yards per carry as the Tigers racked up 324 yards on the ground, the most in an SEC game for the Tigers since a 52-3 win over Ole Miss in 2011.
DEFENSE: Chase Garnham, LB, Vanderbilt
• Garnham paced the Commodore defense with 10 total tackles, including seven solo stops and a tackle for loss, in Vanderbilt's 14-10 victory over Tennessee.
• The 10-tackle total tied a career high for the three-year starting linebacker.
• Garnham's performance was a key factor in Vanderbilt limiting the Volunteer offense to 237 total yards and the fewest points scored by Tennessee against Vanderbilt since 1968.
• The victory in Knoxville marked the first time Vanderbilt has notched consecutive wins over Tennessee for the first time since the 1920s.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Harrold Brantley, DT, Missouri
• Had two huge plays that impacted the outcome of Mizzou's 24-10 road win Saturday at #24 Ole Miss, as he first blocked a Rebel field goal attempt in the 1st quarter to snuff out a scoring threat. Mizzou led 7-0 at the time, and Ole Miss drove to the Tiger 1-yardline before being forced to settle for a 23-yard try. Brantley got a big push and blocked the kick to give Mizzou back the ball with its lead intact. Fellow freshman Josh Augusta was initially credited with the block, but after film review, it was definitely Brantley.
• Later, in the third quarter, after Ole Miss scored on its opening possession of the half to cut MU's lead to 17-10, Mizzou's offense went 3-and-out, but on 4th-and-2 from the MU 20-yardline, Brantley's number was called on a fake punt. Serving as one of the shield protectors for the punt, Brantley took the direct snap and raced around to the left edge to daylight. He made a nice move to shake one potential tackler near the first down line, and raced 26-yards to the Tiger 46-yardline to squelch the Ole Miss momentum.

O'BRIEN, Ore. (AP) — Jennifer Phillippi's grandparents started producing lumber in this corner of Oregon timber country in 1922, when a man could set up a mill, log the trees within range of a team of horses and move the mill to a new stand when those trees ran out.
In those days the forests were full, timber and work both plentiful. But now what was the last sawmill standing in Josephine County has hit the end of the line after yet another timber family had to give up hope that the lands surrounding them could provide enough of the big pine logs they needed to stay afloat.
Phillippi and her husband, Link, are spending their last days at the helm of Rough & Ready Lumber handing out severance checks and hugs to their 88 employees, many of them also the third generation in the mill. The sawmill shut down in mid-April and will ship the last finished lumber in June.
"What they tell me is one door closes and another door opens," said Ron Hults, 50, who worked at the mill for 18 years operating the various machinery it takes to turn a rough log into a smooth piece of lumber. "I'm waiting for the open door."
So are many of the nearly 1 million who live in Oregon's timber country.
The region's troubles have reached a tipping point since the expiration last year of federal subsidies that were sent to rural counties across America for 11 years to offset revenue losses caused by reduced logging on federal lands to protect endangered and threatened species.
Oregon, with far more federal timberlands than other states, got nearly a third of that money — $105 million in 2012 alone.
The loss of the subsidies has forced timber counties to cut budgets to the bone. Sheriff's offices have laid off deputies, cut patrols and released some inmates, only to see them arrested for new crimes. Frustrated citizens have tried to fill the gap with armed patrols.
The subsidies were never meant to be permanent, but rather were intended to buy time to build new economies. Today these communities are still looking for what's next — even as some timber counties drift closer to bankruptcy and state officials make contingency plans in case they collapse altogether.
"There is no silver bullet," said Bruce Webber, who directs the Center for Rural Studies at Oregon State University. "It sort of happens job by job and idea by idea. That is how change happens."
As recently as the 1980s, logging and milling were important parts of the economies of nearly every part of Oregon, from big cities to remote mountain hamlets. But as logging diminished, so did the industry's economic significance.
No Oregon community depends on timber as heavily as in years past. Tourism and light manufacturing join with schools, government and health care to provide jobs. But the more remote and rural the community, the tougher things are.
Unemployment rates across timber country tend to be in double-digits. A quarter of Josephine County's 83,000 people are on food stamps. Food banks struggle to keep cans on the shelves. Young people move away to find work.
Some economists have blamed timber country for not doing enough to get itself out of the mess. Property tax rates in the region are the lowest in the state, a legacy of when the federal timber revenues paid the bills, and residents have repeatedly voted down tax increases. On Tuesday, three counties — Lane, Josephine and Curry —will try again: They are asking voters to raise taxes to pay for law enforcement.
"Always in the past people felt the federal government would come through" and renew the subsidies, said Curry County Commissioner Dave Itzen. "The federal cavalry is not coming ... In fact it's so far away, you can't hear the bugle."
An hour's drive east of the coast, just north of the California border, the Rough & Ready mill is ringed by the timbered expanses of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Gold mines once prospered here, but when the gold ran out, logging became Josephine County's economic foundation.
After World War II, the U.S. Forest Service began selling timber to build homes for baby boomers. Bulldozers carved roads into the hillsides to haul out the logs. Mills operated around-the-clock. No tree was too big to be cut.
"You could get a job anyplace," said Jim Ford, 85, of Grants Pass, the Josephine County seat. Ford quit high school during World War II to work as a logger. At 14, he threw steel cables around giant logs so they could be hauled and loaded on waiting trucks. After the war, he and his brothers started their own logging business. It closed in 1993.
All that remains now are faded photos of logging trucks and a collection of hard hats, chain saws and pulleys hanging from the walls and ceiling of the shop behind Ford's house.
His two sons left home to find work — one in construction in Portland, the other as a fisherman in Alaska.
"We could see it coming," Ford said. "You'd see one mill close down, and pretty soon there'd be another one."
Change came through upheaval. In 1982 Earth First! protesters lay down in front of bulldozers to stop construction of a road intended to open up a mother lode of Siskiyou National Forest for area mills. Conservation groups eventually sued, and the road never was finished.
By 1994, more lawsuits forced the Forest Service to cut logging by 90 percent in the Northwest to save species such as the northern spotted owl and salmon from extinction. Logging jobs in Oregon dropped from 11,000 in 1990 to about 5,000 now. Mill jobs went from 46,000 to 20,000.
Rob MacWhorter, supervisor of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, knows that the good old days of logging aren't likely to return. The Forest Service is focused now on restoration and reducing the threat of wildfire. Where MacWhorter's predecessors spent their days filling timber quotas, he meets with community groups looking to diversify the economy.
In Curry County, MacWhorter and Itzen sit on a task force examining ways to build that new economy. Various ideas are being floated, including marketing the region's blue skies, forest and rivers full of salmon to tourists from Asia and other parts.
"We are finally getting to common ground, common interests coming to the table trying to find solutions," MacWhorter said.
"We haven't been sitting on our hands," added Itzen.
Itzen grew up in Curry County, and still has scars on his hands from working in a plywood mill to put himself through college. Now he works to convince voters to support the proposed tax increase. Otherwise, he said, the county will go broke. But he concedes it's difficult persuading folks to forget the past and see the future.
Logs are still coming off the forest, but they are fewer and smaller — not enough to sustain places like Rough & Ready.
Jennifer and Link Phillippi spent 25 years running the business, investing millions to computerize equipment and improve efficiency. They even bought thousands of acres of timberland to supplement the declining supply from the national forest.
In recent years, however, it grew harder to find the larger 18- to 20-inch pine logs they needed to fill their niche in the timber market, producing lumber for doors and windows.
"Having to close it down weighs heavy on us, especially for these families that really counted on us to figure something out," Jennifer Phillippi said. "We have all the pieces we need to continue to be a productive company. ... The only thing we're missing is a log supply."
Mills that converted to processing smaller logs or producing laminated beams are still operating elsewhere in Oregon, and the Phillippis are confident their workers will land jobs if they are willing to move. The couple has turned to selling logs from their own private timberlands to make a living.
"We love this industry. We'd stay in it if there were something on the horizon," Link Phillippi said. "There aren't a lot of opportunities for these counties to be healthy. It's a beautiful place to live. It's a hard place to make a living."
