of those, 18% are age 62 and above. the key to our culture of aging is our philosophy that we believe experience, wisdom, and institutional knowledge of our older workers is invaluable. in fact, it helps us make a more prosperous organization. let me share reduce story of patti davis. for someone turning 89 in august, patti does not look a day over 60. she shines when she talks about her distinction as our oldest employee. she recently reflected on her life and her career as a nurse that continues today with her two-day a week job. she is also a regular volunteer for us in our gift shop. when asked about her career with the health system, patti said, i tried to retire, but soon after that, bon secours called me into work for them. we are committed to that culture and court named over the last 10 years by aarp as a top company for workers over 50. at the same time, people are starting to live longer and healthier lives. the majority of our workers are delaying retirement bid by offering phased retirement, flexible work s

that is aging in place retirement village models. also provide legislative recommendations for incentives that encourage property owners to make residential upgrades that increase accessibility and safety for aging adults. that is the proposal. i would like to ask ms. newman to also make some comments. >> certainly. again, debra newman from the budget analysts office. let me give -- let me step back and maybe just give a little overview of where we are on our audit program. as you know, as part of our budget and legislative analyst contract, one of the functions that we do provide for the board of supervisors is audit services. these generally, as requests from the members of the board. to date this year, we have conducted the mta, the first phase analysis of that, the revenue analysis, and concluded the small business audit. we have approximately 4500 hours each year to dedicate to audit services. we have expended to date about 1500 hours on the, so this applies to both this audit and the earlier one that i will not go into detail r

the age issue is a non-issue. we should actually be teaching our senators and congressmen that all longer that you serve, the less likely you are to be approved by your constituents. host: back to the political article on age in congress. "is not only taboo on the hill to question lawmaker capability, but it brings an influential longevity to their roles. "i have dedicated my entire life to congress and i think i should be able to attend committee meetings. apparently the people of senator byrd wanted to give him the ability to do what he was doing but there is a likely reason that senator byrd's a physical state was overlooked by west virginia. he was able to grab projects all by himself, almost $30 million with other lit -- other lawmakers in the 2009 spending bill. even during extended absences from the hill he still managed to sponsor several pieces of legislation, including one with five co-sponsors. myrtle beach, south carolina. caller: i have to agree with that last article. it is not an age issue, it is a

to have a comfortable old age. you are also seeing in terms of epidemics, an increase in alzheimer's and it is going to increase as the population increases. there are quite a few seniors who have mental health problems but they are also, the majority of seniors, who are hard-working, who had minimum wage jobs their whole lives, who paid social security. think about living on $889 a month in the city of san francisco needing to buy medication, one meal a day, hopefully, and health care. if we could provide health care early on we might prevent (inaudible) and people would be less likely to end up in the emergency room with a drastic outcome. we could actually provide prevention and health care to people who had no other way of getting health care, those without insurance, it might be more cost effecti

owners to make this necessary residential upgrades to increase accessibility and safety for aging adults. we estimate that this audit will require approximately 255 hours to complete and that we could complete this audit and present it to you in september. as you know, the board is going on recess in the near future, and much of our legislative work does slowdown in, and is a perfect opportunity to begin work on an audit such as this. supervisor mar: thank you. let me give a bit further background. there has been a group of senior organizations and add it -- advocates and activists that have been working with my office, so a lot of the questions and framing of the previous report by the budget analyst office and then these new questions and research issues and areas have been driven by activism of senior organizations, but also people like me that our baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, the 72 million people in the u.s. that came about after the end of world war ii and that will be entering a very rapidly the senior ranks and demographic group within the city and around the country

i count myself as part of that aging baby boomer population, and i expect to live in san francisco and see the final demise of this once great city. i'm expecting to be proven wrong, but most of the information i have seen over the last four years indicates that i may be wrong or right. i think that i'm right. anyway, back to the subject matter, one of the recommendations as part of the listing here on the page mentions of the seniors getting proper services as they age. since so many seniors have to go to san francisco general hospital for necessary care, i would like to reiterate my request that san francisco general the audited financially based on the financial recommendations of the 2003 report which was issued by the board of supervisors. i'm still confused as to why a request to reexamine those recommendations is still meeting opposition on the board level because i think, realistically, if an audit was done of general hospital, it would make seniors feel more comfortable using the services there. as everyone knows, there was a recent horrible incident involving a disabled chine

inhalants is a problem at younger ages more so than at the older ages. we see a higher use of inhalants with the 13- to 17-year-olds than with the 18- to 24-year-old. and the challenge with inhalants is that they're more readily available. they're in the homes, so. gateway-type drug to using other things, eventually. monique, what are some of the factors that really place a youth at risk? well i think factors that place the youth at risk for using substances include underlying mental health issues. i think that environmental factors play an important role if they're in a community that is highly supportive of use. maybe at home there's using going on. i think that those are some really big contributing factors. and greg, why should we be concerned in america with all of these issues with youth? well i think the biggest thing is people don't generally realize all the different areas that are impacted by young people using drugs and alcohol, you know. if you look at, you know, in my life, you know, you talk about the hospitalizations, the criminal stuff, a

almost 30% were under the age of 30. that's your headline, folks. dr.s here to discuss whether there is cause for concern in those mumnumbers. were you surprised to see that? >> a little bit. i'm seeing this in my practice with all types of cosmetic plastic search. it is infiltrating the younger age demographic and anytime you see 18-year-olds looking to cosmetic surgery, there is cause for concern. the fda has approved botox for cosmetic therapeutic medications in the age of 18 to 35. to most will not consider it below age 18. >> and let's look tat these numbers again. >> tremendously popular when you look at how it breaks down, 0.2% of those who had botox were actually in the 13-19-year-old age group. so obviously outside of the fda indication. about 26% were in their twenty. so, again, this adds up to about 27%, it's huge chunk of the botox users. gr and how do we account for the increase? >> well, listen, i think that when you talk about botox, it can be very helpful for certain people into reducing fine lines. there is a sweeping trend kind of an u

i mean, they were the right age. bette davis was 52, as was martha, and james mason had always been 46, you know, so... [laughter] so it was--it was good. and so i said okay, knowing at the time that when you sell the rights of a play to be made into a movie, you lose absolute control over it-- understanding that. if you write a play, you have absolute control over what is done to your play onstage. they can't change a word without your permission. but you take a chance when you sell a movie. but that whole combination struck me as being pretty good. but then there's a thing called movie magic, and bette davis and james mason turned into elizabeth taylor and richard burton. and oddly enough, mike nichols stayed mike nichols, and...but i sort of trusted mike. i didn't think he was going to allow them to really screw it up. and what happened, finally, by some great fortune: there was no screenplay. i mean, there's this guy, ernest lehman, who is credited with the screenplay. but then again, he produced the movie too. b

greatest generation born between 1901 and no mangeneration x, age 29 to 4 generation neration z, age. all of these generations, which one fears it is losing ground most in achieving the american dream? >> i just want to finish what i tried to say earlier and that is that the baby boomers gave us a civil rights resolution, and the antiwar movement. so they put their name on the map. >> they gave us gay right protests, too? >> that, the gay rights protests are actually a later generation. you have the latest generations -- >> they gave us civil rights protests? >> they aren't bias against gay people in the least. >> the gay protests go back further than you think. >> the baby boomers are the generation that fear they have the most to lose in this crisis, because older americans, silent generation, frankly they don't have that much time left. so they have saved and i mean, i hate to sound crude about it, but they already settled in their life. the baby boomer generation is looking forward to retirement and the retirement savings is gone. >> what is between the baby boomers and the tea p

i am pushing middle-age. and i kind of share the sentiment from the caller from tampa bay few minutes ago. my generation is coming into our political crime, and we have watched the older generations spend money off the chain in government and there will be a day of reckoning because as my generation comes in to political power, we know what the numbers are. we know there has been a population explosion in the world in general since the 19th century. we know what it takes to sustain -- i am going to call that a ponzi scheme because the government stole our money, all these big government programs. and we are not happy about it. we are victims of big government, my generation is, and older generation has been posted on it and we are extremely unhappy about it. i think older generation's need to reconcile this. the older generations are pushing this off on our generation and generations behind me. as the generations go out the door of political power, it is my generation that's got to be making decisions. guest:
