(AP) ? (AP) ? There's a 15-year-old Florida girl who didn't really know much about Charlie Sheen before this week ? but does now.

The actor wired $10,000 to Teagan Marti and her family on Thursday for a therapy dog to help in her rehabilitation from injuries sustained when she plummeted 100 feet from a Wisconsin amusement park ride in 2010.

"I think he's a very kind person for helping me and my family and very generous," Teagan Marti said by phone Thursday from her home in Parkland, Fla.

Teagan Marti suffered brain, spine, pelvis and internal injuries in July 2010 when nets and air bags that were supposed to catch riders on a free-fall ride were not raised. She had convinced her family to make the trip from Florida to Extreme World in Wisconsin Dells after seeing the amusement park's Terminal Velocity ride on the Travel Channel.

She was hospitalized in Wisconsin and Florida for three months. She initially had no use of her arms or legs but through physical therapy is able to walk again with a walker.

Teagan Marti's mother, Julie Marti, said they are financially in trouble from the medical bills and her recent divorce. Their house is being foreclosed upon and insurance isn't covering physical therapy anymore, she said. She had no idea how they would pay for the English Golden Retriever puppy.

"I'm in such disbelief," Julie Marti said. "I was crying. ... What a guy. What a guy."

The dog is being trained in Fond du Lac to turn on lights, pick up objects and be the teen's constant companion.

Lucia Wilgus, of Eau Claire, became friends with the Martis after hearing of the accident and has spearheaded fundraising and helped find the dog and arrange training.

She sent a letter this week to Sheen through Sheen's godfather, who is a Wilgus family friend and Benedictine brother in the Benet Lake, Wis. She estimated the training and related costs would be around $6,000.

Sheen said he decided to give more for extra costs. The request had a "personal vibe" since it came through his godfather, and "if there's a need for more I told them to call me," he said.

"I like to pay it forward," Sheen said Thursday in a phone interview from Los Angeles. "People come into your orbit for a reason. You don't always know what that is ahead of time, but if I ignore these requests then I don't have any opportunity to see where these things lead us, or lead me."

He said he doesn't like to publicize most of his donations, but wanted to talk about this one to inspire others to donate.

Teagan Marti gets the dog on her birthday in September but hasn't made up her mind on a name.

"I think they should name the dog Charlie," Sheen joked.

Lucas West: Rock Canyon to Colorado Christian University

Lucas West travels across a fair piece of the Denver metro area to get from Rock Canyon to the campus of Colorado Christian University. Contributed photo.

?

Name:?Lucas West


High School:?Rock Canyon High School


Signing With:?Colorado Christian University


What clinched the decision for the school you signed with:
Three reasons sealed the deal for me in regards to signing on with CCU.??Firstly, the?small,?Christian community of less than 1000 students will provide a tight-knit student-to-student and student-to-teacher environment with supportive influences I think will not only benefit my educational experience, but my spiritual experience as well.? Secondly, the business and management school they offer is exceptional.? The professors and deans I have met with impressed me and I think I will reap a fantastic educational reward by attending it.? Thirdly, I will will have the incredible opportunity to run at CCU.? I really wanted to continue running competitively once I reached college, and now I will be able to fulfill that goal.

?

Your favorite high school track event:

I would have to say that my favorite track experience during high school would be a meet at Sports Authority Stadium?last season where my?1-mile relay team set a?school?record and won the race.??We felt so?proud to win, especially after competing in a race where all members of our team ran a mile.


Your favorite high school athletic memory:?

My favorite high school athletic experience would definitely be both of the trips my cross country team took to Arizona for the Nike Southwest National Regionals meet.? I thoroughly enjoyed the stay with my friends and coaches and the race conditions and course were phenomenal.? In fact, the last time I went, this year, I beat my school's 5K record and my own.

Baby Boomers' Health a Bust Compared to Parents - News & Views ...

obesity09233 Baby Boomers Health a Bust Compared to Parents

By Barbara Bronson Gray
HealthDay Reporter

MONDAY, Feb. 4 (HealthDay News) ? The baby boom is turning out to be a health bust.

Despite growing up at a time of great innovation in health care, the 78 million people born in the United States between 1946 and 1964 aren?t looking all that healthy today, according to a new study.

Medical advances have led to the longest life expectancy ever, but U.S. baby boomers have higher rates of chronic disease, more disability and lower self-rated health than did their parents at a comparable age.

The research may surprise many baby boomers, who have embraced activities such as running, fitness classes and backpacking in unprecedented numbers.

?There seems to be somewhat of a disconnect between the reputation of baby boomers for being healthy and what we see in increasing rates of diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity,? said study author Dr. Dana King, a professor of family medicine at West Virginia University School of Medicine. ?It?s really discouraging that they?re not the healthiest generation.?

The study, published as a research letter Feb. 4 in JAMA Internal Medicine, compared data on people aged 46 to 64 in two time periods ? from 1988 to 1994 for the older generation, and from 2007 to 2010 for the baby boomers.

While 32 percent of their parents? generation described their health as ?excellent,? only about 13 percent of baby boomers did so.

Obesity was more common among baby boomers than their parents (39 percent versus 29 percent). In addition, 52 percent of boomers said they had no regular physical activity, while only 17 percent in their parents? generation reported inactivity.

There was one area of good news, however. Boomers have lower rates of heart attack and emphysema, and are less likely to smoke cigarettes, the study reported. King noted that the reduction in smoking ? from 28 percent of the population to 21 percent ? shows the value of conducting a concerted public health campaign. He said the nation needs to focus the same amount of effort now on obesity to discover truly effective solutions.

The findings didn?t surprise some experts.

?Obesity seems to be the underlying cause of many of the health issues baby boomers are facing,? said Nancy Copperman, a registered dietitian and director of public health initiatives at North Shore-LIJ Health System, in Great Neck, N.Y. ?I wasn?t surprised to see the data because we?ve seen the obesity epidemic over the past two to three decades really increase, and with that heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.?

The study tapped data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Factors used to compare the two generations included health status, functional and work disability, healthy lifestyle characteristics, and presence of chronic disease.

The baby boomer generation had a higher percentage of people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity than did their parents? generation.

Disability was defined conservatively, said King. ?To be considered disabled you had to be walking only with an assistance device, such as a cane, or only able to climb up 10 steps, have trouble stooping down, or walking a quarter of a mile,? he explained. Again, boomers consistently had a higher level of disability than their parents? generation.

So what was the previous generation doing right? ?There was a huge difference in their typical amount of exercise,? said King. ?Fifty percent were getting moderate physical activity 12 times a month, while just 35 percent of baby boomers got that much exercise.?

The research also showed that medication use for high blood pressure was higher among baby boomers, and prescription drug use for high cholesterol was 10 times greater among the younger generation than among the previous generation. Of course, many of the medications boomers take were not widely available when their parents were of similar age.

Do boomers rely too much on medications to solve their health issues? ?I?m concerned that has a great deal to do with the problem,? said King. ?The drugs are supposed to be used in addition to a healthy lifestyle, not instead of it.?

Baby boomers are definitely moving less than their parents did, said Copperman. ?Our parents didn?t have the conveniences we have. Now, often both parents are working and spending less time doing manual labor. Instead of mowing the lawn or cleaning the house, they might hire someone to do it,? she noted.

But King said it?s still not too late for baby boomers to get healthier. He said his previous research showed that it is possible to ?turn back the clock? even in one?s 50s and 60s.

'Wikipedia' is in space ? as an asteroid

Wikipedia is loaded with articles on space. And now Wikipedia is in space, too ? specifically, as an asteroid newly named "Wikipedia." The Committee for Small Body Nomenclature has renamed a main belt asteroid, previously labeled number 274301, with an official moniker: Henceforth, it's known as Wikipedia.

Astronomers at the Audrushivka Astronomical Observatory in Ukraine first spotted the asteroid in August 2008. Observatories in Caussols-ODAS in France and Mt. Lemmon Survey and Steward Observatory in Arizona also observed the asteroid. The Committee handed down the official name on Jan. 27, based on a suggestion from a member of the Wikimedia Foundation in Ukraine.

Researchers also posted some scientific facts about Wikipedia (the asteroid), including its measurement of one to two kilometers (about a mile) in diameter and its orbit, which takes it around the sun every 3.68 Earth years. And it won't collide with Earth, so no need to call Bruce Willis.

Astronomers around the world, and at NASA, regularly scan the night sky in order to search for near-Earth asteroids and other objects that could potentially pose an impact threat to Earth. (The latest, with the less-elegant name " 2012 DA14," is due to pass within 17,200 miles of the Earth on Feb. 15.)
