Braille Trails Let Blinds Explore America's Parks
A growing number of blind Americans enjoy outdoor life through Braille Trails. Nylon ropes guide users to Braille sign markers across 600 miles in 200 to 225 nature centers, from city parks to rugged forest preserves. The first trail appeared in 1987 at Colorado's White River National Forest, inspiring a coast-to-coast network within reach for most, if not all, of the country.

Cold water drowning risk study by University of Calgary professor
Dr. Keith Cooper of the University of Calgary, backed by grants from Canada's Defense Research Board and the US Navy, leads tests in a large bathtub to measure how cold water affects breathing, circulation, and muscle response. Findings aim to explain annual world drownings and identify who is most at risk, how to reduce danger, and the best first aid if immersion occurs.
