Today's issue of Inside Illinois online is now available at 
http://www.news.uiuc.edu/ii

Aug. 21, 2003, Vol. 23, No. 4

IN THIS ISSUE:

CAMPUS NEWS:

*  On the Job: Daniel Honnold, musical instrument technician II, has 
worked at the UI for six years. He spends most of his time tuning 
pianos and doing repairs. He and a fellow technician also rebuild 
pianos between other projects. 

RESEARCH NEWS:
*  Tai Chi may benefit older people:  As they age, people tend to 
become more prone to slipping, tripping and falling. And the results 
of such missteps and tumbles sometimes can be catastrophic. 
That's why movement researchers are increasingly focusing on the 
physiological effects and potential health benefits associated with Tai 
Chi, an ancient Chinese martial art that combines aspects of 
movement and meditation.

*  Math education: Research says earliest steps can play a role in 
how well preschoolers learn math. How a child comes to understand 
"two-ness" and "three-ness" and other basic but abstract concepts 
lays the foundation for what comes later, says researcher Art 
Baroody. 

Inside Illinois returns to the print edition Sept. 4. The online version 
will still be available.
