This monograph offers information, suggestions, and proposals to teachers, students, and citizens to increase their understanding of the aging process in both its physical and psychosociological aspects. Part I, What Is Aging? examines various aspects of aging, some of its major characteristics, and what it is like to grow old in the U.S. today. Part II is concerned with the physical aspects of aging: how the body changes; the aging processes of human cells, human tissue, and organ systems; aging and disease; some theories on why aging takes place; and suggestions on how to deal constructively with aging. Part III examines some psychosociological aspects of aging, with emphasis on ways to encourage continued psychological and social involvement with the rest of the world. Appendixes provide details of resources for additional information. Appendix A describes programs for senior citizens, specifically those provided by ACTION and the Department of Labor. Appendix B lists materials available free from the Administration on Aging. Appendix C gives the locations of all regional and state agencies on aging. (MBM)

The results of five years of development of the inner tracking system of the HERA-B experiment and first experience from the data taking period of the year 2000 are reported. The system contains 184 chambers, covering a sensitive area of about 20 * 20 cm2 each. The detector is based on microstrip gas counters (MSGCs) with diamond like coated (DLC) glass wafers and gas electron multipliers (GEMs). The main problems in the development phase were gas discharges in intense hadron beams and aging in a high radiation dose environment. The observation of gas discharges which damage the electrode structure of the MSGC led to the addition of the GEM as a first amplification step. Spurious sparking at the GEM cannot be avoided completely. It does not affect the GEM itself but can produce secondary damage of the MSGC if the electric field between the GEM and the MSGC is above a threshold depending on operation conditions. We observed that aging does not only depend on the dose but also on the spot size of the irradiated area. Ar-DME mixtures had to be abandoned whereas a mixture of 70% Ar and 30% CO2 showed no serious aging effects up to about 40 mC/cm deposited charge on the anodes. X-ray measurements indicate that the DLC of the MSGC is deteriorated by the gas amplification process. As a consequence, long term gain variations are expected. The Inner Tracker has successfully participated in the data taking at HERA-B during summer 2000.

He grew up in Coral Springs, FL, and graduated in 1987 from Coral Springs High School. George LeMieux graduated magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa in 1991 from Emory University, where he majored in political science. He was selected by his peers to address the graduating class as senior class orator. While earning his college degree, he interned for Congressman E. Clay Shaw, Jr. and U.S. Senator Connie Mack III. After college, George LeMieux went on to earn his J.D. cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 1994. At Georgetown he received the Vincent G. Panati Award as the graduate with the highest GPA in criminal law courses. After law school, he joined Gunster, a prominent Florida law firm, resident in the firm's Ft. Lauderdale office. George LeMieux and his wife, the former Meike Sigrid Detassis, are the parents of four children: George Maximilian, Taylor Franz, Chase Karlyle, and Madeleine Meike. Max, Taylor, and Chase were born in Tallahassee, FL. Madeleine was born in Washington, DC, while George LeMieux served in the Senate. Inspired by President Ronald Reagan, George LeMieux became active in Republican Party politics at a young age, culminating in his election as chairman of the Broward County Republican Party in 2000. In 2002 George LeMieux resigned his position with the Republican Party to serve as deputy attorney general for the State of Florida. During his time in the attorney general's office, George LeMieux helped lead an agency of more than 400 attorneys. In 2004, on behalf of the people of Florida, he successfully argued a death penalty case, Florida v. Nixon, before the U.S. Supreme Court, where he obtained a unanimous reversal of the decision by the Supreme Court of Florida. In 2006 George LeMieux managed a successful gubernatorial campaign and in 2007 became chief of staff to Governor Charlie Crist. In his year serving as chief of staff, he oversaw the executive office of the Governor including the Governor's legislative agenda, policy initiatives, and the management of the agencies that reported to the Governor. In 2008 George returned to the Gunster law firm and was selected by his colleagues to serve as chairman of the firm. In summer 2009, he was called back into public service when Senator Mel Martinez retired before the end of his term. On September 10, 2010 George LeMieux was sworn in as Florida's 34th U.S. Senator, and at the age of 41, was the youngest U.S. Senator then serving. During his time in the Senate, George LeMieux was an active member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Commerce Committee, and the Special Committee on Aging. In the Senate, he made the debt and deficit his primary focus. He introduced a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution and opposed wasteful earmark spending, helping to lead the effort to ban all earmarks in the 111th Congress. While in the Senate, George LeMieux proposed the ''2007 Solution,'' a plan to eliminate the deficit by 2013 and cut the national debt nearly in half by 2020. He also saw several of his legislative priorities signed into law, including Medicare antifraud legislation, an export promotion act, tax relief and lending assistance for small businesses, and elimination of the monopoly given to rating agencies to determine the creditworthiness of securities. George LeMieux also successfully offered an amendment to the resolution of ratification to the New START Treaty with Russia, requiring the President to seek negotiations with Russia to secure and reduce tactical nuclear weapons in a verifiable manner. For his efforts, George LeMieux received several recognitions including the Spirit of Enterprise Award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Tax Fighter Award by the National Tax Limitation Committee, the Friend of the Family Award by the Christian Family Coalition, the Guardian of Small Business Award by the National Federation of Independent Business, and twice received the Taxpayer Hero Award by Citizens Against Government Waste. In his farewell speech to the U.S. Senate, George LeMieux described his service in the Senate as the ''honor of his life,'' and quoting President Theodore Roosevelt, said serving in the Senate allowed him to enjoy one of the greatest gifts life has to offer, the opportunity to ''work hard at work worth doing.'' Farewell to the Senate Tuesday, December 7, 2010 Mr. LeMIEUX. Madam President, I rise to pay tribute to the body with which I have had the privilege of serving for the past 15 months. Being a U.S. Senator, representing 18\1/2\ million Floridians, has been the privilege of my lifetime, and now that privilege is coming to an end. As I stand on the floor of the Senate to address my colleagues this one last time, I am both humbled and grateful, humbled by this tremendous institution, by its work, and by the statesmen I have had the opportunity to serve with, who I knew only from afar but now am grateful that I can call those same men and women my colleagues. No endeavor worth doing is done alone. And my time here is no exception. In the past 16 months, I have asked the folks who worked with me to try to get 6 years of service out of that time, and they have worked tirelessly to achieve that goal. My chief of staff Kerry Feehery, my deputy chief of staff Vivian Myrtetus, my State director Carlos Curbelo, Ben Moncrief, Michael Zehy, Ken Lundberg, Melissa Hernandez, Maureen Jaeger, Danielle Joos, Brian Walsh, Frank Walker, Spencer Wayne, Vennia Francois, Victor Cervino, Taylor Booth, and many others have made our time here worthwhile, and I thank all of them. I especially thank Vivian and Maureen who left their families and gave up precious time with their children to come to Washington to support me in these efforts. I am also thankful to the people who work in our State office. Time and time again when I travel around Florida I am greeted by people who have received such a warm reception from the men and women who serve us in Florida and help people deal with problems with the Federal Government. I am grateful for their work. Senator McConnell has provided me with opportunities beyond my expectations. He is a great leader, and I am grateful to him. Senators Alexander, Burr, Cornyn, Kyl, McCain, Corker, and many others have taken me under their wings and mentored me, and I am appreciative of them. Chairmen Rockefeller and Levin, we have had the opportunity to do great work together in your committees. I thank you for that. Senators Cantwell, Klobuchar, Landrieu, Whitehouse, and Baucus, we have worked together in a commonsense way to pass legislation that is good for the American people, and I am appreciative of your efforts. Senator Mel Martinez, who ably held the seat before me, has been generous in his advice and counsel. Senator Nelson and his wife Grace have been warm and welcomed Meike and me to Washington. I am thankful for your courtesy. I thank Governor Crist. He has afforded me tremendous opportunities for public service, and I am grateful. I want to say a special thank you to my parents. My grandfather, in 1951, drove his 1949 Pontiac from Waterbury, CT, to Fort Lauderdale, FL, with his wife and five kids piled in the back. He didn't know anybody. He didn't have a job. But he went there to make a better life for his family. He worked in the trades, in construction. He built houses and he taught my father the same thing. And as my father worked in the hot Florida sun, his ambition for his son was that he would one day get to work in air-conditioning. I have achieved that goal and so much more because of their sacrifice. Mom and Dad didn't go to college but they sent me to college and law school, and I will be forever grateful for what they have done for me. My most heartfelt appreciation goes to my wife Meike. When I learned of this appointment, I met her at the door of our home in Tallahassee and she was crying. She was not just crying because she was happy; she was crying because she was worried. At the time we had three small sons Date(s) Held: 2010-12-07, 2010-11-30, 2010-12-08, 2010-12-10, 2010-12-15, 2010-12-16, 2010-12-17, 2010-12-19, 2010-12-20 111th Congress, 2nd Session GPO Document Source: CHRG-111shrg64813 Related Items:

This article is from Shanghai Archives of Psychiatry , volume 25 . Abstract Summary: Cognitive and depressive disorders are common in elderly Chinese and are becoming an increasingly important public health problem, partly because of the rapid aging of the population. To help address this issue China's national government has funded a major study to establish national standards for the early identification, evaluation and treatment of common psychological disorders in the elderly. The present paper describes the overall methodology of this study. Fifteen centers in eight provinces will recruit representative samples of subjects aged 60 and over, collect a detailed history, conduct a physical and neurological examination, administer a comprehensive battery of psychological tests, and carry out a diagnostic exam using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID). These subjects will participate in follow-up evaluations one year and three years after the initial evaluation. Subsamples of subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subclinical depression will be enrolled in randomized controlled trials of a cognitive training program (for MCI) or group cognitive behavioral therapy (for subclinical depression). The results of the study will be used to estimate the prevalence of cognitive and affective disorders in the elderly, to develop a standard screening procedure for these conditions that can be promulgated nationally, and to promote the use of specific interventions that can prevent the development of dementia in persons with MCI and the development of depressive episodes in elderly individuals with subclinical depression.

Approximately 20% of all the USAF aviators are now over the age of 40. Over 60% of the U.S. civilian airline pilots are over the age of 40. Because of the age 60 rule, these pilots must retire when they reach 60 years of age. We decided to look at what are the ocular/visual problems that brought our senior USAF aviators to the Consultation Service at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine at Brooks AFB, Texas. The Consultation Service evaluates all USAF aviators who have a medical problem that threatens their flight status. Following a through medical workup, our staff makes a recommendation to the USAF Surgeon Generals Office. This might be grounding, further treatment, a waiver to return to flight status or change in flight status. (1)

Few people are conditioned in the middle years to cope with the prospect of old age and retirement. If public libraries could act as the liaison in this transition, perhaps more people would be prepared to lead productive lives after age 65. Public libraries set aside sections for children and young adults but fail to do the same for the elderly. This age group has very little to occupy their time or mind after retirement, and many regress to the point of turning their energy inward, which can result in psychosomatic disorders, death wishes, or depression. This energy could be channeled into continued education, pursuit of a new interest, or interchange of knowledge. The public library could and would be the most logical coordinator of such a program. A bibliography is inserted at the end of each chapter with a glossary and list of available literature appended. (DS)
