• Out of sight, out of mind. Fear and misperceptions ultimately fuel a lack of attention to older adult health, but keeping aging "off the radar" does little to remedy impediments to health as we grow older.In light of this, we are qualifying the AMA recommendation for referring to a person's age. Specifically, JAGS will require that authors use the term "older adult" when describing individuals aged 65 and older. Authors will also

Hydrogeologic and water-quality data were collected at the Explosive Experimental Area, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Site at Dahlgren, Virginia, as part of a hydrogeologic assessment of the shallow aquifer system begun in 1993. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted this study to provide the U.S. Navy with hydrogeologic data to aid in the evaluation of the effects from remediation of contaminated sites and to protect against additional contamination. This report describes the groundwater observation-well network, hydrogeologic, and water-quality data collected between October 1993 and April 1995. The report includes a description of the locations and construction of 28 observation wells on the Explosive Experimental Area. Hydrogeologic data include lithologic logs, geophysical logs, and vertical hydraulic conductivity measurements of selected core intervals. Hydrologic data include synoptic and hourly measurements of groundwater levels, and observation-well slug tests to determine horizontal hydraulic conductivity. Water-quality data include analyses of major dissolved constituents in ground water and surface water. DESCRIPTION OF OBSERVATION-WELL NETWORK Observation wells were sited to obtain maximum areal coverage of the EEA study area, to have drill sites accessible by drilling equipment, and to avoid areas of known or suspected contamination. Observation well locations are shown on plate 1. Well Construction All 28 observation wells installed at the NSWCDL for the hydrogeologic assessment were constructed of 4-in. inside-diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) casing. Twenty wells were screened in the Columbia aquifer, of which 17 wells were augered and 3 wells (wells EEA-S6,
