10 Steps to Help Older Adults Prevent Slips, Trips and Falls | cnbnews.net

(NewsUSA) – Some of the most serious injuries among older adults, age 65 and older, are caused by falling. More than 1.6 million older \"10Americans end up in the emergency room or hospital because of a fall, according to the National Institutes of Health. Seniors who have broken a hip by falling can have trouble recovering and regaining mobility.

The good news is many falls are preventable. One of the first things you can do if you take prescription medication is have your health care team review your medication.

\”Some prescription medicines and over-the-counter drugs, or a combination of them, can make you dizzy or sleepy. Either can lead to a fall,\” said Jaza Marina, M.D., a geriatrician at Kaiser Permanente in Atlanta. \”If you fall, be sure to let your doctor know, even if you aren\’t hurt. Sometimes falls are a sign of a new medical problem that needs attention.\”

Letter to Editor: Update on Request for No Train Horn Quiet Zone in Gloucester City

 
So later that day we received a call from Lou Frangella, the Region 1 Inspector for the FRA, we discussed what we have done up until this point. He stated that since we are not connected to Gloucester City in any official manner, we would need to have a city official contact him. We informed him that would not be an issue at all since we have already previously spoken with the Mayor’s office and we were given their full support on this matter.
 
After speaking with Inspector Lou Frangella of the FRA, Lou did mention that he would be out of the office until 9/24 so we may encounter a delay. We contacted Bob Bevan, who is our contact for the Mayor’s office who we have spoken with before. We relayed the Inspectors contact information to Mr. Bevan and let him know that he or someone from the Mayor’s office would have to contact the Inspector. We requested from Mr. Bevan that he keep us informed on his conversation and updated as to what may be the next steps.
 
If we don’t hear back for Mr. Bevan by the end of next week 9/26 I will contact him as to what the status is on this matter.
 
Regards,
 
Morgan Reichner
Gloucester City NJ

Christie, Pelosi attend prisoner re-entry center ceremony

STATE HOUSE BUREAU/THE RECORD

\"Christie-pelosi\"

JENNIFER BROWN/SPECIAL TO THE RECORD
Former Gov. Jim McGreevey, front, leads dignitaries in saying the Serenity Prayer at Martin\’s Place. U.S. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, center, holds hands with Gov. Chris Christie.

For the second time this year, Governor Christie went to Jersey City to promote programs that give drug addicts second chances.

It’s an issue Christie has spoken about passionately – he made it mandatory for nonviolent offenders to be sentenced to treatment – and one his re-election campaign highlighted last year. Some hope he could take the issue to a national level if he runs for president in 2016, a point that was underscored during Monday’s ribbon cutting at Martin’s Place, a one-stop facility for drug treatment, transitional housing and employment assistance.

There was no visible tension between Christie and Mayor Steven Fulop, who earlier this year said Christie’s office cancelled meetings with him after he declined to endorse the governor’s re-election bid, as they chatted during the event. Christie even clasped hands with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democratic who spoke at the event, and smiled as they talked.

The opening of the center, named after Martin Luther King Jr., drew a mix of politicians to the heavily Democratic city, including former Gov. Brendan Byrne, a Democrat, former Gov. Tom Kean, a Republican, and numerous members of Congress.

FBI FILES: The Beltway Snipers, Part 1

 A Byte Out of History

This blue 1990 Chevy Caprice was used as a rolling sniper’s nest.

Five years ago this week—at 3:19 in the morning on October 24, 2002, to be exact—we closed in on the snipers who’d been terrorizing the Washington, D.C., area over the course of 23 long days.

During the month, 10 people had been randomly gunned down and three critically injured while going about their everyday lives—mowing the lawn, pumping gas, shopping, reading a book. Among the victims was one of our own—FBI intelligence analyst Linda Franklin, who was felled by a single bullet while leaving a home improvement store in Virginia with her husband.
