Extractions: Home For most of the over three million Americans earning their livings in agriculture, the work is not just their livelihood, it is their way of life; a productive and satisfying way of life of which they are very proud. Agricultural production is hazardous. The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service estimates that more than 200,000 farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural workers experience lost-work-time injuries and occupational illnesses every year, approximately five percent of which have serious and permanent results. Off-the-farm injuries; health conditions, such as heart disease, arthritis, or cancer; and aging disable tens of thousands more. The Breaking New Ground Resource Center estimates that more than 500,000 persons working in agriculture have physical disabilities that interfere with their ability to perform essential tasks on the farm or ranch. Additionally, thousands of children born into agricultural families have disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and epilepsy. Physical and attitudinal barriers often prevent these children from participating fully in farm and ranch operations, and from engaging in social and recreational activities enjoyed by other rural youth. The majority of people with disabilities who work or live in agricultural settings want to continue to do so despite their disabilities. All too often, however, they are frustrated in their attempts. Rural isolation, limited personal resources, gaps in rural service delivery systems, and inadequate access to agriculture-oriented assistance are among the obstacles they face.

Extractions: Overview Committee Action Faculty and Staff Losses New Full-time Unclassified Faculty and Staff of Color ... Diversity Expenditure I. Overview The Annual Report of the Presidents Commission on Multicultural Affairs was delayed in order to include the Report on Diversity Initiatives Since 1990 for members of the Commission. The Commission has been pivotal in guiding and operationalizing many of the initiatives over the past several years. The charge for the Commission for this year FY98 is to develop a diversity plan that will take K-State into the 21st century. It is important to note that President Wefald continues to affirm the Universitys commitment to diversity and affirmative action. As a Commission, we cannot underestimate the importance of the President in setting the tone for diversity for the entire university community. He made the following statements related to diversity and affirmative action in his State of the University Address on September 11, 1997: "I want to state my unwavering commitment to diversity and affirmative action. As you know across the country, there is growing opposition to affirmative action. I think these efforts are mistaken and anti-productive. At K-State, we have a very effective affirmative action program which does not rely on quotas or set asides. Rather we want to recruit and retain as student, faculty, staff and administrators, the most qualified minorities and women . . . We have made some good progress in creating a diverse student body and university staff. There is much more to be done especially in the hiring of minority faculty members. We shall not shrink back from these efforts. They are right for K-State and they are right for America."

Related Listserv Sites Planned Play Experiences: Implementing Physical Activity Programs for Preschool Children PowerPoint View of this paper "Planned play experiences" is a concept that best represents an intervention strategy for promoting physical activity for young children. Most experts in both early childhood education and physical education encourage the creation of a physical activity program that has planned activities that will facilitate children's exploration yet ensure the participation in physical tasks that will contribute to development of fundamental motor skills, movement concepts, health-related fitness, and play behavior. In this concept, physical education specialists provide parents and/or preschool teachers with the resources to create physical play experiences. This is not just free-play nor a structured teacher directed class (See figure 2). The success of the play experience is dependent upon the ability of the teacher or parent to engage the child in play behavior that will contribute to the physical health of the child. The desire to promote physical activity programs in preschool-aged children will not be enough to create an effective intervention. Workshops for early childhood providers, parents, and physical education specialist on ways to collaboration in the planning and delivery of the "planned play experiences" strategy will be essential. Support will be needed from administrators of schools, community recreation centers, wellness centers, and child-care centers to provide the resources in space, staff, and equipment. This strategy offers only one way to meet the physical activity needs for preschool-aged children. Extending play behavior into everyday life is the only way to ensure a commitment to the health and well-being of the child.
Extractions: JULY/AUGUST 1996 In this issue . . . Iowa wins the 1996 Outstanding Achievement Award in CDBG Program and Policy Administration, with its HART review process and its Promise Jobs program. Missouri's Housing Infrastructure program provides site development for new housing construction on economically distressed areas. The Housing Assistance Review Team (HART), initiated by the Iowa Department of Economic Development (IDED) is a process, in which representatives from housing funding agencies throughout the state meet to discuss projects that may or may not consist of joint funding. State staff, recognizing that housing practitioners and developers are constantly on the look out for as much grant and low-interest loan money as possible often apply to as many funders as are available to fund projects. This situation often leads to projects receiving multiple sources of funds. Staff also realized that funds are scarce and wanted to make sure that the availability of funds was maximized. Informally, at first, staff from many funding agencies would discuss potential projects, to determine funding levels of the various sources. Soon phone calls were made on a regular basis to the different sources, IDED decided to formalize the process with regular meetings of housing funders within the state.

Our work spans developmental biology, melanosomal biology, immunology, and neurobiology. We have largely used the mouse but plan to integrate the use of mice with other model organisms such as flies, fish or worms. Glaucoma affects 70 million people worldwide. In glaucoma, retinal ganglion cell death and optic nerve degeneration lead to blindness. Harmfully high intraocular pressure (IOP) is an important contributing factor in many cases. The genetic factors determining IOP and susceptibility to pressure-induced damage are largely unknown. Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is another common ocular disease involving retinal neurodegeneration (primarily photoreceptors). The genetic and molecular causes of ARMD are also poorly defined. Although we study ARMD-relevant phenotypes, and high IOP is not necessary for all glaucoma, the following summary focuses on our pressure-related glaucoma research.
