Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) We dedicate this book to the GSA 2008 annual meeting researchers who took resilience seriously, to those who have been studying resilience, and to the wonderful older adults who have led the way and taught us all what it truly means to be resilient. Foreword Gerontology has advanced far beyond the problem-focused approach prevalent in the past decades. Now, scholars are increasingly interested in uncovering the strengths of older individuals and the benefits they contribute to society. From the medical sciences that stress health practices to prevent or slow the onset of disabil- ity to the behavioral sciences that demonstrate the value of positive thinking and close relationships, evidence of a balanced approach to understanding aging is widespread. Resilience in Aging: Concepts, Research, and Outcomes, situated in this multifaceted context of contemporary aging scholarship, presents a compre- hensive set of theory and research on resilience in old age. Chapters on health, ill- ness, and physiological aspects of aging; personality, motivation, and other psychological dimensions; culture and ethnicity; work and civic engagement; spiri- tuality and the environment; and care settings and community interventions all offer important insights about many ways that older adults can achieve and display resil- ience, the benefits of being resilient for aging well, and steps community service providers can take to foster resilience in the older population. This volume is a key resource for gerontologists, researchers and students of aging, and professionals who work with and on behalf of older adults. Blacksburg, VA Rosemary Blieszner, PhD vii Preface Like every book, this book has a story behind the making. First and foremost kudos for every moment you enjoy reading this book should go to Janice Stern, our Springer editor. Janice initially pursued me with the idea of a book about resilience in older adults, similar to a book that Springer had published about children. The Handbook of Resilience in Children. She contacted me around the time I was living and breathing resilience as I was recovering from microfracture surgery on my knee and was unhappily non-weight bearing on my left lower extremity for 2 months. That and my own research in the area of motivation of older adults inspired me to seize this opportunity. Simultaneously, the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) was planning the 61st annual scientific meeting with the theme set at “Resilience in an Aging Society: Risks and Opportunities.” As the Health Section Chair for the GSA that year (2008), I was part of the conference planning commit- tee and had the opportunity to learn about the many sessions highlighting and addressing resilience in older adults. Fascinated with the wide array of presenta- tions focused on different areas of resilience, I gathered the names of individuals to contact post presentation to invite them to turn their presentations into chapters for us to have and to hold. In addition, I asked the 2008 GSA President, Lisa Gwyther, and the 2008 Behavioral Science Section Chair, Karen Roberto, to join me as coedi- tors of the book. Together we divided and conquered and share with you more than you could ever want to know about resilience in older adults, and what we believe is the true key to successful aging. ix Contents 1 Resilience: Definitions, Ambiguities, and Applications ......................... 1 Rebecca S.

  • Dave Presher Began Work at the San Diego Spirit of the Women’S United Soccer Association, the WUSA’S Mortal Wounds Had Already Been (Self) Inflicted
    By the time Dave Presher began work at the San Diego Spirit of the Women’s United Soccer Association, the WUSA’s mortal wounds had already been (self) inflicted. After blowing through three-years of seed money in an orgy of spending leading up to opening day of its inaugural season, the WUSA stared into the abyss after two seasons of staggering financial losses. Corporate sponsorship badly underperformed expectations and TV ratings barely registered - distressing for a league founded and subsidized by cable television operators. Presher was a 20-year sales veteran of the radio industry, but a pro sports novice. He was expected to apply his promotional know-how to fill seats for the Spirit, a club which already paced the WUSA in season ticket sales. Although brought on as a revenue-side hire, Presher immediately dove into player personnel - transforming an on-field product he found “in shambles“. Trades in the WUSA were rare and unremarkable. The top American players held an equity stake in the league and a say in which cities they agreed to play in. A few weeks into the job, Presher engineered the biggest trade in league history, shipping veterans Shannon Boxx, Margaret Tietjen and Sherrill Kester, along with the #2 overall pick in the 2003 college draft, to the New York Power. In return, San Diego received the #1 overall pick and midfielders Jen Lalor and Wynne McIntosh. The key to the trade was that #1 pick, which Presher used to draft Aly Wagner, the young U.S. National Team midfielder projected to be the best attacking player of her generation.

  • ROCHELLE SCHIECK Founder, Qoya Movement Praise for Rochelle Schieck’S QOYA: a Compass for Navigating an Embodied Life That Is Wise, Wild and Free
    “The Qoya were the sacred women of the Inka, daughters of the Sun, the ones chosen to uplift humanity to our grandest and greatest possibilities. Rochelle accomplishes this great task in this stunning book.” —Alberto Villoldo, PhD, author of Shaman, Healer, Sage and One Spirit Medicine Q YA A Compass for Navigating an Embodied Life that is Wise, Wild and Free ROCHELLE SCHIECK Founder, Qoya Movement Praise for Rochelle Schieck’s QOYA: A Compass for Navigating an Embodied Life that is Wise, Wild and Free “Through the sincere, witty, and profound sharing of her own life experiences, Rochelle reveals to us a valuable map to recover one’s joy, confidence, and authenticity. She shows us the way back to love by feeling gratitude for one’s own experiences. She offers us price- less tools and practices to reconnect with our innate intelligence and sense of knowing what is right for us. More than a book, this is a companion through difficult moments or for getting from well to wonderful!” —Marcela Lobos, shamanic healer, senior staff member at the Four Winds Society, and co-founder of Los Cuatro Caminos in Chile “Qoya represents the future – the future of spirituality, femininity, and movement. If I’ve learned anything in my work, it is that there is an awakening of women everywhere. The world is yearning for the balance of the feminine essence. This book shows us how to take the next step.” —Kassidy Brown, co-founder of We Are the XX “Rochelle Schieck has made her life into a solitary vow: to remem- ber who she is – not in thought or theory – but in her bones, in the truth that only exists in her body.

  • The Time Traveler's Wife
    When Henry meets Clare, he is twenty-eight and she is twenty. He is a hip librarian; she is a beautiful art student. Henry has never met Clare before; Clare has known Henry since she was six... “A powerfully original love story. BOTTOM LINE: Amazing trip.” —PEOPLE “To those who say there are no new love stories, I heartily recommend The Time Traveler’s Wife, an enchanting novel, which is beautifully crafted and as dazzlingly imaginative as it is dizzyingly romantic.” —SCOTT TUROW AUDREY NIFFENEGGER’S innovative debut, The Time Traveler’s Wife, is the story, of Clare, a beautiful art student, and Henry, an adventuresome librarian, who have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-three and Henry thirty-one. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing. The Time Traveler’s Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare’s marriage and their passionate love for each other, as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals— steady jobs, good friends, children of their own. All of this is threatened by something they can neither prevent nor control, making their story intensely moving and entirely unforgettable. THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE a novel by Audrey Niffenegger Clock time is our bank manager, tax collector, police inspector; this inner time is our wife.

    Scotland Women’s National Team: A Team on theRise by Ciara McCormack For anyone that has been following European women’s soccer in the last decade, Scotland is a team that has been knocking on the door, inching painfully closer to inclusion in its first major international tournament. On Oct. 24, 2012, Scotland played Spain for the final spot in the UEFA EURO 2013, which will be held in Sweden next year. photo courtesy of Glasgow City FC For Scottish players, it would have been a way to eliminate memories of losing on away goals in a playoff to Russia for a EURO 2009 spot. Yet with Scotland moments away from going through on away goals, and the score tied 2-2 in Spain, after a 1-1 draw in Scotland, Spain scored a goal with seconds left in extra time. They left the Scots shattered on the field, so close to such a major accomplishment after overcoming so many challenges. But Scotland’s players had little time to dwell. “We played Spain on Wednesday night in Madrid and suffered the most heartbreaking loss of not only my career but all of ours,” said Scotland Captain and starting goalkeeper Gemma Rachel Corsie and Fay. “Thirty-six hours later, we were back at work and school. Leanne Ross lift the Cup “In that last game we played against Spain in the EURO 2013 playoff, nine of the starting 11 were either full-time students or in full-time employment. At least two of the players were taking unpaid leave to be there as they had used up all their annual leave for the year, and the rest were using their last few days of their annual leave,” Fay said.
