Balance is among the most needed physical exercises If you're not as confident on your feet as you used to be, you're not alone. Balance involves your ability to control your center of gravity over your base of support. When standing, your base is your feet, whether it's one foot on the ground, two feet, or two feet and a cane. Systems involved include vision, depth perception, muscle power, visual contrast, and low-light vision. Strengthening your balance can help you live more confidently and avoid falls. Balance exercises should be part of your fitness program. They help you build strength and maintain greater mobility.

Tommy Druen: I lost my hero Previous Column: Grace in an era of flash By Tommy Druen I've never been one to be starstruck. Over the years I've shaken hands with presidents, chatted Duke basketball with a former NBA coach, and conversed about the genius of Nirvana with a Grammy Award winner. Once, Shirley Temple herself even called me. But, to borrow from Garth Brooks, I've also got friends in low places--and I've always taken pride in that too. And, straying far from Garth's territory, to paraphrase Depeche Mode, people are people. Whether CEO or janitor, each bears equal worth before God, and so they should in my eyes as well. Hero worship has never been my habit. With one exception. On August 6th, I lost my hero.
