The neighborhood where I have lived for a dozen years has relatively few young families. Most households consist of an elderly single person or couple. One couple in particular has continued to live a fairly active lifestyle, considering their ages. There are the expected age-related issues and occasional illnesses, but they handily execute life's daily tasks of housekeeping, meals and minor yard work. Driving to the grocery store or the doctor has not become an unreasonable chore for them. On some occasions they take out of town trips to visit relatives. At this point they are doing OK, but I imagine the day will arrive when one becomes dependent and the other tries to manage full-time care of the spouse as well as the household chores.

If you are in a higher risk category (over age 65, very young, pregnant, immune compromised), it's important that you talk with your health-care provider about getting a flu shot if you haven't received one already. However, all of us can reduce our chances of getting and spreading colds and the flu by following some simple practices.

The College of Engineering at Colorado State University today announced it received patent and grant gifts from DuPont that support the development and commercialization of an innovative process to clean contaminated soils. The technology holds the promise of being far more effective and much less expensive than current options for cleanup of such hazardous waste areas as Superfund national priority list sites, Department of Defense facilities, agricultural storage facilities, chemical plants, automotive maintenance facilities, dry cleaners and other sites contaminated with chlorinated solvents.

The new year is always a good time to reassess current habits and their effects on health. Take eating, for example. Think about what, when, why, where and how you eat. Are you usually a stand-up diner? Do you routinely snack throughout the day and then aren't hungry at mealtimes? Do you tend to eat fast so that you can finish quickly and get back to what you were doing? Do snacking and watching television go hand-in-hand for you?
