the good news is look how many people are in blue below the baby boomers? unlike many other states and countries, there is nobody left to support us as we become decrepit. in fact, california is in good shape, largely as a result of our immigration over the last 20 years that has populated the state with people who will be working while the rest of us spend our time is tired and getting health care. i mentioned that we are a growth industry were there will be a major construction surge. i would hardly describe hospitals is being green yet. we consume an enormous amount of energy, but we are becoming more efficient. and, of course, i need tell nobody here how important we are in terms of biomedical research and technology innovation. what challenges do we face? like all of you involved in development, in time in the city is a challenge for us, and i cannot imagine how much more difficult it would be for us if it were not for the profound support we have received from the mayor, the planning department, and the mayor's staff. i want to thank them publicly for

i am actually a baby boomer, at the edge of the baby boomer, and i know that baby boomer era. there's this huge boom in a population of seniors in our city that will grow. i think by 2020, 60% of the population will be seniors, and i think some people are now defining 60 and over, but i think generally, people looking at 65 and over. that is a huge population. i'm trying to look at issues of senior nutrition programs, alzheimer's research, but even housing policies that allow our buildings to become more senior- friendly. i guess we are calling it developing an aging-friendly city. we are also looking at how to support senior services and unique neighborhood by neighborhood programs called aging in place or village models that allow people who are older or seniors getting older to be able to support each other and to stay in their homes and communities longer so they can be contributed to the community as long as possible as opposed to institutionalizing them, which costs quite a bit more. so i'm looking with senior group's ideas of how to create more aging in place programs n

so profound was the innone dation that no baby boomer can fail to recall this american hero's name. this recognition to my way of thinking is a good thing, but the veritable flood of misinformation about crockett's life that resulted, something i became very much aware of later in my life and certainly proved up while researching this book that in part motivated me to write this book, has created a crockett me tholing that continues to this day. so, my friends, this is not just another straightforward chronological book of crockett, cradle to grave, nor does it focus on the one slice of the crockett pie at the alamo. there's more to crockett than the last few weeks of his life. it's not a rejournallation of the many, many myths and total lies perpetuated by crockett over the years. this is a book for people interested in learning the truth, or at least as much as can be uncovered about both the historical and the fictional crockett, and how the two often became one. hopefully, readers will gain some new historical insights into the actual man and how he captured the imagination of h

as these baby boomers age, one in eight will develop alzheimer's. at a time when our government is looking for ways to save money, thinking about the economic cost of diseases like alzheimer's is an important priority to consider. today, alzheimer's is the sixth leading cause of death in the united states and we're seriously lacking in ways to prevent, cure, or even slow its progress. this year alone, the economic impact of caring for alzheimer's patients will cost our economy a total of $183 billion. unless something is done soon, the cost of alzheimer's in the crites will total $20 trillion by the year 2015. $15 trillion of that cost will come from medicare and medicaid. this is a disease that is not only heart break bug it's also a disease we can't afford if we don't take action now. that means making alzheimer's a national priority. leadership from the federal government has help red deuce the number of deaths from other diseases, such as hiv-aids, influenza, pneumonia and stroke. we need to do the same for alzheimer's. we have the potential to
