It's very common to gradually end up with a "forward leaning" posture that can contribute to the risk for falls. Proper alignment is often described as being "lifted up" by a string with the head, shoulders, hips, and knees all in alignment. When the shoulders and head round forward your center of gravity moves forward out of alignment, increasing the risk of falling. Good posture keeps the shoulders open and centered (not rounded forward) to support better alignment and walking balance – but i...

By Kieran Nicholson [email protected] Courtesy of The Denver Post Sam Gary, an oilman and philanthropist who founded the Piton Foundation, died Monday at home in Denver. He was 94. In the 1960s, Gary, then a “wildcat” in the oil industry, drilled 39 dry holes before hitting it big in 1967 with discovery of the Bell Creek Field in eastern Montana. With an estimated 240 million barrels, Bell Creek was the 84th largest oil field in the country when discovered and more than 400 wells were drilled. In 1976, Gary and his wife, Nancy, cre...

By Katie Ward The Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620 traded newfound religious freedom for harsh living conditions, being unprepared for the bitter winters of New England.

Even so, today there are an estimated 10 million Americans (and 35 million people worldwide) who descend from those original passengers, according to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.
