St. Paul Pioneer Press reporter Jeremy Olson has launched a new blog called The Age Wave. Jeremy has received a fellowship from the Kaiser Family Foundation to look at long-term care today and its future and is writing a series of stories for the newspaper.
In writing the series and the blog Olson says he’s taking his late grandmother’s advice:
“Take care of the corners and the middle always takes care of itself.” Sure, she was talking about spreading frosting, but it applies. By examining individual stories and struggles — by highlighting the hidden corners of long-term care in Minnesota — he intends to identify broader solutions.

An Australian woman renowned as the world's oldest blogger has died at the age of 108, with her last posting talking about her ailing health but also how she still sings a happy song every day.
Olive Riley, of Woy Woy about 50 miles north of Sydney, began blogging in February last year, sharing stories from her life during the two world wars, raising three children on her own, and working as a station cook in the outback.
The physically frail but mentally alert Riley won an international audience with her blog, The Life of Riley (www.allaboutolive.com.au), and series of videos posted on YouTube with her talking and singing.
Riley was said to be the world's oldest blogger as she was 12 years older than the previous titleholder, Spain's Maria Amelia. She was born in 1899 and would have turned 109 in October.
