Adult supervision is best way to prevent falls
The Olympian, WA -
Injuries and death can occur from falls down stairs, off changing tables and off outdoor play equipment. Many children fall from windows and even from roofs. The severity of a fall-related injury is determined by the distance of the fall and the landing surface. The most severe injuries and the vast majority of deaths from falls are the result of damage to the brain or spinal cord.

HIGGINS SECURES $1.25 MILLION FOR PROJECT TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION
Amherst Times.com, NY -
The Subsurface Engineered Wetland Water Quality Project is necessary to treat non-point source glycol runoff from airside pavement at the Buffalo Airport. Currently, storm water discharges at BNIA drain directly to Ellicott Creek at the north end of the airport and to the U-Crest Ditch, a tributary of Scajaquada Creek at the south side; both of these creeks drain to the Niagara River. In recent years, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) has improved its glycol collection capability by reducing the storm water discharge into Ellicott Creek. However, by collecting more glycol wastewater, NFTA increased the volume of effluent to the Buffalo Sewer Authority, through the Town of Cheektowaga's facilities. The existing system does not have the capacity to accommodate the increased levels of effluent.

The researchers narrowed their study to the blood-brain barrier, a selective barrier that controls the entry of substances from the blood into the brain. They believed two toxic HIV proteins -- the envelope glycoprotein (gp120) and transregulatory protein (Tat) -- could be disrupting the protective barrier and allowing toxic materials to pass through to the brain. If true, the proteins could be inducing oxidative stress in the cells and causing dementia in patients.
