    Abstract The United States is witnessing a growing aging population stemming in part from medical advancements allowing people to live decades longer than previous generations. Simultaneously, food insecurity among older adults has increased, and is projected to get worse as the Baby Boomer generation ages. This review focuses on an assistance program for older adults: home-delivered meals. Specifically, we focus on the effects of Meals on Wheels (MOW) on the physical and emotional well-being of older adults, and the wide variety of procedural and operational issues that various MOW programs around the country experience. Findings from the literature highlight the positive outcomes these programs have on their clients. Although there have been recent budget cut threats from the federal government, evidence suggests that more funding should be allocated so these programs can provide services to everyone in need, and even expand what they are able to offer to older adults.

    Abstract The shift toward wetter climatic conditions during the African Humid Period (AHP) transformed previously marginal habitats into environments conducive to human exploitation. The Turkana Basin provides critical evidence for a dynamic climate throughout the AHP (~15–5 kyr BP), as Lake Turkana rose ~100 m multiple times to overflow through an outlet to the Nile drainage system. New data from West Turkana outcrops of the late-Pleistocene to early-Holocene Galana Boi Formation complement and extend previously established lake-level curves. Three lacustrine highstand sequences, characterized by laminated silty clays with ostracods and molluscs, were identified and dated using AMS radiocarbon on molluscs and charcoal. This study records the earliest evidence from the Turkana Basin for the onset of AHP by at least 13.9 kyr BP. In addition, a depositional hiatus corresponds to the Younger Dryas (YD), reflecting the Turkana Basin’s response to global climatic forcing. The record from Kabua Gorge holds additional significance as it characterized the time period leading up to Holocene climatic stability. This study contributes to the paleoclimatic context of the AHP and YD during which significant human adaptation and cultural change occurred.

    Abstract The Paleocene/Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) and associated carbon isotope excursion (CIE) are often touted as the best geologic analog for the current anthropogenic rise in pCO2. However, a causal mechanism for the PETM CIE remains unidentified because of large uncertainties in the duration of the CIE's onset. Here, we report on a sequence of rhythmic sedimentary couplets comprising the Paleocene/Eocene Marlboro Clay (Salisbury Embayment). These couplets have corresponding δ(18)O cycles that imply a climatic origin. Seasonal insolation is the only regular climate cycle that can plausibly account for δ(18)O amplitudes and layer counts. High-resolution stable isotope records show 3.5‰ δ(13)C decrease over 13 couplets defining the CIE onset, which requires a large, instantaneous release of (13)C-depleted carbon. During the CIE, a clear δ(13)C gradient developed on the shelf with the largest excursions in shallowest waters, indicating atmospheric δ(13)C decreased by ~20‰. Our observations and revised release rate are consistent with an atmospheric perturbation of 3,000-gigatons of carbon (GtC).

    Abstract Demographic projections confirm a dramatic increase in the size of America's elderly population over the next several decades. The elderly now comprise 13% of the population; by 2045, they will comprise 22%. As the elderly population grows, so too will the elderly poor, the elderly homeless, and the elderly uninsured. The implications of the so-called graying of America for the health care system, particularly the long-term care industry, are staggering.
