The review teams —
comprised of contractors
known as “quality raters”
— already comb through
websites and other content
to flag questionable items
such as pornography.
Google added “upset-
ting-offensive” in its latest
guidelines for quality
raters. Google declined to
comment on the changes,
which were reported in the
blog Search Engine Land
and elsewhere.
The guidelines, which
run 160 pages, are an
interesting look into how
Google ranks the quality
of its search results. For
instance, it gives examples
of “high-quality” pages,
such as the home page
of a newspaper that has
“won seven Pulitzer Prize
awards,” and “low-quality”
pages, such as an article that
includes “many grammar
and punctuation errors.”

NEW YORK (AP) —
Google is trying to improve
the quality of its search
results by directing review
teams to flag content that
might come across as upset-
ting or offensive.
With the change, content
with racial slurs could
now get flagged under
a new category called
“upsetting-offensive.” So
could content that promotes
hate or violence against a
specific group of people
based on gender, race or
other criteria.
While flagging some-
thing doesn’t directly affect
the search results them-
selves, it’s used to tweak the
company’s software so that
better content ranks higher.
This approach might, for
instance, push down content
that is inaccurate or has other
questionable
attributes,
thereby giving prominence
to trustworthy sources.

more diagnosis of injuries
in that group that in the past
were not recorded.
“But when we dug a little
bit more into the numbers,
we found the larger driver
is older adult falls,” said
the CDC’s Matt Breiding, a
co-author of the new report.
The toll from elderly falls
has been under-recognized
by physicians and by seniors
themselves, Southerland said.
When falls do occur, older
people tend to downplay it,
she said.
But one fall can quickly
lead to others. In a study
published last year, South-
erland and other Ohio State
researchers found that more
than a third of older adults
with minor head injuries end
up back in the ER within 90
days.
Even when they see a
doctor, the future risk may
be missed. In hospital emer-
gency departments, it’s not
unusual for a 25-year-old
PREMIUM
NEW YORK — Elderly
people are suffering concus-
sions and other brain injuries
from falls at what appear
to be unprecedented rates,
according to a new report
from U.S. government
researchers.
The reason for the increase
isn’t clear, the report’s authors
said. But one likely factor
is that a growing number of
elderly people are living at
home and taking repeated
tumbles, said one expert.
“Many older adults are
afraid their independence
will be taken away if they
admit to falling, and so
they minimize it,” said Dr.
Lauren Southerland, an Ohio
State University emergency
physician who specializes in
geriatric care.
But what may seem
like a mild initial fall may
cause concussions or other
problems that increase the
chances of future falls — and
more severe injuries, she said.
Whatever the cause,
the numbers are striking,
according to the new report
released Thursday by the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
One in every 45 Ameri-
cans 75 and older suffered
brain injuries that resulted in
emergency department visits,
hospitalizations, or deaths in
2013. The rate for that age
group jumped 76 percent
from 2007. The rate of these
injuries for people of all ages
rose 39 percent over that
time, hitting a record level,
the CDC found.
The
report,
which
explored
brain
injuries
in general, also found an
increase in brain injuries from
suicides and suicide attempts,
mainly gunshot wounds to
the head. Brain injuries from
car crashes fell.
But the elderly suffered at
far higher rates than any other
group.
It’s well known that
falls among the elderly are
common. Older people are
more likely to have impaired
vision, dizziness and other
de-stabilizing health prob-
lems, and are less likely than
younger people to have the
strength and agility to find
their feet once they begin to
lose their balance. The CDC
had already reported that falls
were the top cause of injuries
and deaths from injury among
older people; an estimated
27,000 Americans die each
year from falls.
But even experts on
elderly falls said the new
numbers were striking.
Health officials have been
increasing their focus on
brain injuries among all ages,
especially younger people.
CDC investigators thought
the overall rise in brain
injuries might be mainly
caused by rising awareness
of sports-related head injuries
in kids and young adults, and
