You may already know that Medicare is a medical

insurance program for people who are 65 or olderand for people who are disabled at any age. Some

people are covered only by one type of Medicare;

others opt to pay extra for more coverage. Under-

standing Medicare can save you money.

If youre eligible for and want to be covered by

Medicare Part B medical insurance, now is the

time to sign up. The general enrollment period for

Medicare Part B runs from January 1 throughMarch 31. Before you make a decision about gen-

eral enrollment, here is some useful information.

There are four parts to Medicare: Parts A, B, C

and D. Part A helps pay for inpatient hospital

care, skilled nursing care, hospice care, and other

services. Part B helps pay for doctors' fees, outpa-

tient hospital visits, and other medical services and

supplies not covered by Part A. Part C allows you

to choose to receive all of your health care serv-

ices through a managed health care organization.

These plans, known as Medicare Advantage Plans,

may help lower your costs of receiving medical

services, or you may get extra benefits for an addi-

tional monthly fee. You must have both Parts A

and B to enroll in Part C. And Part D is the

Medicare Prescription Drug Program.

There is a monthly premium for Medicare Part B.In 2013, the standard premium is $104.90. Some

high-income individuals pay more than the stan-

dard premium. Your Part B premium also can be

higher if you do not enroll during your initial en-

rollment period, or when you first become eligi-

ble.

There are exceptions to this rule. For example, you

can delay your Medicare Part B enrollment with-

out having to pay higher premiums if you are cov-

ered under a group health plan based on your own

current employment or the current employment of

any family member. If this situation applies to

you, you have a special enrollment period in

which to sign up for Medicare Part B, withoutpaying the premium surcharge for late enrollment.

This rule allows you to:

Enroll in Medicare Part B at any time

while you are covered under a group

health plan based on your own current

employment or the current employment

of any family member; or

Enroll in Medicare Part B during theeight month period that begins following

the last month your group health cover-

age ends, or following the month employ-

ment ends, whichever comes first.

If you receive disability benefits and have cover-

age from a working family member, the same

rules apply.

If you live in one of the 50 states or Washington

D.C. and youre already receiving Social Security

retirement or disability benefits or railroad retire-

ment payments, you will be enrolled in Medicare

Parts A and B automatically. However, because

you must pay a premium for Part B coverage, you

have the option of turning it down.

If you dont enroll in Medicare Part B when youfirst become eligible to apply and you dont fall

under the special enrollment period, you'll have to

wait until the general enrollment period, which is

January 1 through March 31 of each year. At that

time, you may have to pay a higher Medicare Part

B premium.

Exercise With Weights Heps Maintain MuscesBy Dr. David Lipscitz

To live long and live well, exercise with weights.

A cardinal feature of growing older is the inex-orable and progressive loss of muscle that is re-

placed by fat.

An average person gains a pound of weight annu-ally from age 20 to age 60, the majority in theform of fat. But even for those whose weight re-mains stable, the percentage of the body that ismuscle drops from 90 percent at age 20 to 50 per-cent at age 60. And the decline relentlessly con-tinues.

This loss of muscle leads to weakness and, whencombined with weight gain and a sedentarylifestyle, affects gait and balance, contributes toosteoporosis, increases the risk of falls and leadsto the eventual inability to walk without the assis-tance of a walker or wheelchair.

While it is impossible to stop muscle loss withaging, research has shown that weight lifting can

increase muscle size and strength in people of allages.

The benefits of weight training only increases as

we get older. Strength training builds bone andmuscle the two things that the body graduallyloses with age. This in turn improves gait, de-creases falls, reduces fracture risk and promotesindependence. Weight training also improves me-tabolism, reduces risk of diabetes, prevents de-

pression and has highly beneficial effects on theheart and lungs.

People tend to think of weight lifting as a hobbyfor the young and fit, but it's more than that. Lift-ing weights a few times a week is a powerfully

beneficial lifestyle change. This is a form of exer-cise for everyone, no matter your age, physicalfitness or medical conditions (including back

pain, arthritis, heart attack, stroke or other neuro-logical problems).

For many older people with physical disabilities,the place to start is with physical therapy, where a

program can be designed to lessen pain and im-

prove function. When physical therapy ends, con-tinued weight training is essential.

Here's my advice: Do not invest in home equip-ment. Apart from the initial expense, it's hard tostay motivated when your workout room is amusty corner of the basement. Health clubs are amuch better choice. They're more likely to be suc-cessful and a great way to socialize and interactwith others.

Almost always, a club will have many beginnersand plenty of adults receiving Social Security andMedicare. Those perfect (and intimidating) bodiesare the exception, not the rule. Whether you've

been active all your life or are just starting out,you and your physique will feel right at home.

Weight training should be done under the supervi-sion of a trainer or physical therapist, at least untilyou learn the ropes. Unlike walking or biking,

which are almost impossible to do wrong, weighttraining requires proper form and technique. Per-form an exercise incorrectly and risk of injury ishigh.

A trainer can help youmaster every form ofweight training, includ-

ing barbells, dumbbells,elastic bands and ma-chines that are uniquelydesigned to strengthenspecific muscle groups.

Many of those who belong to a health club, youngor old, tend to lift weights that don't appear verychallenging. Lifting a small weight that hardlytaxes your reserves isn't worth the effort. Everystudy has shown substantial benefits from resist-ance training only when high-intensity, muscle-taxing exercises are used.

In practical terms, this means choosing weightsthat are sufficiently heavy that the muscle is virtu-ally exhausted after six to eight repetitions of theexercise.

Exercises should involve every muscle group, in-cluding those on the arms, legs, back and ab-

domen. Each exercise should be done as threesets. During the first set the 10th repetition should

be difficult; during the second, only eight repeti-tions should be possible, and in the final set, youshould only be able to manage five or six.

Exhausting the muscle leads to muscle growthand increased strength. It is hard work, but it's theonly way to build strength to the level needed foroptimal fitness.

You'll probably be a little sore when you start out.But the soreness goes away, and soon you'll findthat you feel refreshed and energized and that theeffort is well worth the sweat involved.

Want to start the new year with a realistic work-able resolution? Don't worry about your weight orshape; instead, stretch, do balance and aerobic ex-ercises and weight train to guarantee a longer,more independent life.

Rules of Aging." More information is available at:

Online dating becomes popular for seniorsBy Anita Creamer

SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE

Shed had it with the whole online

dating scene. So had he.What wasonline dating, he liked to say, but a

high-tech version of the proverbial

meat market? But hope springs eter-

nal, and last fall, he thought hed

give it another go.

And so on Nov. 4, courtesy of ehar-

mony.com, a grandfather from

Carmichael, Calif., sent his first e-

mail to a grandmother from Texas.

Then they talked, day after day, for

hours on end. They met, first in

Phoenix, then in Northern California.

And the rest is a sweet chapter in the

love story taking place between peo-

ple past 50 and online dating sites.

Its been amazing, said Mike Man-

nix, 65, a Carmichael businessman.Its been magical, said Patricia

Newlin, 63, a marketing veteran who

recently moved from

Texas to

Carmichael.

Romance-minded seniors

are making hearts at

online matchmaking sites

go pitterpat with joy over soar-

ing user statistics.

At match.com, for example, the

number of registrants 50 and older

increased by 69 percent from 2005 to

2009, said match.coms Jaklin

Kaden.

I have a 71-year-old client who met

a woman on the Internet, said

David Wygant, a Southern Califor-

nia-based dating coach and blogger.

Its so different today. You can liter-

ally shop from the comfort of your

own home you can shop, click

and date.Spark Networks, the countrys top

online personals aggregator and

home of 30 niche dating sites, has

seen growing interest among sen-

iors, with the 50-plus demo-

graphic

now representing 19 percent ofchristianmingle.com users, 12

percent of blacksingles.com

members and 18 percent of

jdate.com users.

The online community is growing

up, said Spark Networks Arielle

Wolin. Its only natural. It goes

along with dating in real life. People

reenter the dating world after a

hiatus, and online dating is such a

part of that culture now.

Remember when there was a stigma

attached to personal ads, divorce,

widowhood and, in general, life after

age 50? Really, how 20th century.

The world has moved beyond, into

the realm of energetic and technolog-ically hip aging. Smart seniors em-

brace the new.

Joe Comisky is trying. The 61-year-

old Sacramento, Calif., resident has

what sounds like a love-hate rela-

tionship with online dating sites. On

the one hand, look at all the onlinepossibilities, these pages and pages

of appropriately aged women wait-

ing for the right guy to click.

On the other, he said: Dating now is

like filling out a job application. Its

not what I enjoy. I remember seeing

that girl across the room who just

made your heart skip a beat, but you

were scared to death to talk to her. I

miss that.

That seems like a more natural way

of meeting somebody. But were in

such a busy world.

Excuses, excuses. Who said you

cant meet someone the old-fash-

ioned way, through shameless flirt-ing with a total stranger? Continues

After a long or even a short

hospital stay, anyone appreciates the

value of sleeping in ones own bed.

No one to wake you during the night,no more pokes, prods or beeps and

buzzes. Just you snuggled up under

your own covers within the familiar

sights and smells of home.

As wonderful as that sounds, there

are a few things to consider regard-

ing transitioning from a hospital back

into the home. For many seniors, this

process may be complicated depend-

ing on their circumstances.

Seniors are of special concern during

this phase, especially those who suf-

fer medical conditions and are re-

quired to take different medications

at varying times of the day. Sending

someone from a care facility such as

a hospital, where around-the-clockmonitoring is prevalent, to an envi-

ronment where little or no interaction

occurs requires advance planning to

ensure the transition is smooth and

safe.

Some things to consider incude:

The mobility of the seniorMedical conditions that may

need monitoring

Administration of medicine(s)

Future appointments with health

care providers

Nutrition

Attention needs to be given to the

mobility of the person going home.

Challenges in that area should be ad-dressed and solved before less-mo-

bile seniors arrive home. Ensure

walkways in the home are clear. Re-

move trip hazards such as rugs. Re-

arrange extension cords so they are

not a hazard. Handrails in the bath-

room can prevent falls.

Seniors recuperating from an illness

may need assistance identifying

symptoms in the days and weeks

after coming home from the hospital.

Ask friends and relatives to take

turns visiting the senior each day to

ensure the seniors health is on the

rise and not declining.

Proper administration of medications

is essential for seniors required to

take them even for a short period of

time. Sometimes, if multiple medi-

cines are needed, seniors may need

help remembering time schedules. If

personal help is unavailable, make

the senior a daily calendar with each

hour depicted. Pill dispensers can beused for this purpose, as well, and

are the best option for ultimate safety

to keep medications organized and

aid in preventing accidental over-

dose.

Often after returning home from a

hospital stay, visits to health care

providers are scheduled to monitorthe progress of those on the mend.

Help seniors remember these ap-

pointments by penciling them in your

own calendar. Call seniors with

friendly reminders. Accompanying

them to these scheduled visits further

ensures these obligations are met and

can also help keep you in the loop re-

garding any new medical care regi-

mens that may be directed.

Seniors returning home from a hospi-

tal stay may be on a limited diet.

Even if they

are not,

preparing

and eatingdinner for

themselves

may seem

over-

whelming

at first.

Help out by

grocery

shopping or

preparing

easy-to-heat

meals which seniors can make with

little or no fuss. Maintaining bal-

anced nutrition is critical for seniors,

but can be especially important for

those who have had recent health is-

sues.

Following the above tips can helppave the way to a positive transition

from hospital to home. Successful

transitions help eliminate returns to

the hospital which are common when

transitions are not well planned. If

you are unable to assist a senior in

need, now might be the time to hire a

home health care provider, such as

Comfort Keepers. Comfort Keep-ers attend to seniors in need on a

full or part-time basis performing

such duties as cooking, light clean-

ing, running errands and simply by

providing company to keep the se-

niors spirits up.

A word from the dating expert: Get

over the fear of rejection, and go

for it.

I constantly see people 50 and 60

out on first dates, said Wygant.

You can tell from their body lan-

guage. You go to the market, and

you see older guys flirting with

women.

When you see someone youre at-tracted to, smile and say hello.

Wygant suggests a similarly proac-

tive approach to online dating.

Write a profile thats positive, not

about being lonely and being a

loser, he said. Online dating is so

common. Have an open attitude.

Realize there are a lot of great peo-ple to meet who are just like you.

The thing about online dating is

that it gives you the opportunity to

bare your soul

on the phone, said Newlin. By

the time Mike and I met, we knew

more about each other than people

whod been dating for months.

He makes her laugh. She makes

him happy.This is it, said Mannix. Im

done. Shes the one. Id bet my life

on it.

Even though Newlin admits her

grown daughters think the romance

has moved a little too

quickly, the two plan to be married

later this year.Were kind of crazy, but were

crazy about each other, she said.

Weather TriviaWhats the most snow El Paso recorded on a single day for themonth of February?

Answer:B8.1recordedonFebruary2,1956

A.5 B.8.1 C.9.3 D.11.2

We are coming off a decent start to the New Year as far as precipita-

tion. Our numbers are running just a bit above normal for this time ofyear. But, don't get too excited as the three month outlook is rather

grim.

The forecast for the next three months across El Paso and Las

Cruces does not look good if you want rain or snow.

The Climate Prediction Center is showing that our area will likely see

above normal temperatures and below normal rain and snowfall for

February, March and April. Combine

this forecast with our area drought.The U.S. Drought Monitor reports

that we are still in a severe drought

across El Paso and Las Cruces. If

the outlook verifies, then early 2012 could be similar to the start of

both 2012 and 2011 when La Nina was in place and our weather was

generally dry and mild (with the exception of the arctic outbreak of

the first few days of February 2011).

Weather for Next Three Months
