at older ages, most men are actually still married, but women, at older ages are not married. they are living alone, and those are among the most deprived. >> you say many of the lowest income seniors depend on affordable housing or food stamps. let me ask you a simple question. what happens if the programs are cut? >> well, obviously, a complete disaster. people can try to go to food pantries, rely on charity from friends and neighbors, and, of course, people from churches, friends, and neighbors try to do as much as they can, but most of those groups are actually relying on the federal programs to give assistance. if you have meals and wheel, you volunteer the time, but it's coming from a federal program. i think as much as we call upon the volunteers to help, it's very, very difficult. >> you live in the northeast area, a very rural area of vermont. what is your observation about seniors in their struggles economically? >> i've seen seniors give away or put down their puts because they can't afford to feed them. i've seen seniors close off all of their living room and use t

i'm thrilled that they are in our life right now. >> i know i'm older, but i'm so glad i waited. because we did it the right way for us. >> it is important to point out there are health risks to the baby of older moms. birth defects do increase as the mother's age increases. we would like to hear your thought on mature motherhood. you can weigh in on our facebook page where several women have shared their experiences and it's interesting to see some of the comments that people are leaving. >> i remember back in the day, we were having kids. 35 was a big number. >> yes. >> if you crossed that number. >> and it was going into older territory. and medicine has made it possible. but there are medical consequences sometimes. >> just because you can don't mean you should. >> that's right. amen. >> okay. all right, guys. >>> 68 today. there may have been a nicer day in november but i can't remember it. not a cloud in the sky. temperatures right now are still pretty nice really. some folks in the 40s. 49 downtown. but we do see some 41s, low 40s in gaithersburg and leesburg. 36 in manass

in employers will not always look to hire older workers, so it is very difficult for older people oncenemployed to go back and get a job but if they are lucky enough to be at least age 62, they can claim social security benefits. unfortunately if you claim benefits at age 62 you are going to get 25% less on a monthly basis then if you wait for the full retirement age of 60. it's now 66. but it is still available to you and we have seen increased claim as a consequence of the recession. >> so very specifically what you are saying is that many more seniors taking social security at 62, at 25% fewer benefits, less benefits than waiting until 66? >> that's correct. >> alright. could you elaborate on the gao's finding about the important role that social security and medicare and older american programs have in protecting the financial stability of our nation's seniors? you talk about poverty rate not declining when people reach social security and also what would happen if social security programs were cut? what happens at the eligibility age for medicare goes from 65 to 67? what would you

they have a lot less of both the good jobs and the good money now after all the older generation grew up in a time the pensions and enjoying booming economic cycles but most of all they have jobs now those older than sixty five now have forty seven times as much net worth as the typical household headed by someone under thirty five years old so while the wealth gap is undeniable is the divide between generations to be concerned about or something trying to create an are generating a warfare all steve said the numbers that show older people way ahead financially may be skewed by the fact that the richest one percent are just older which lends the data to favor older generations laurie told those young people had trouble getting their foot on the ladder but the elderly struggle to get a meager pension she said i don't think there is an age divide a brother would said the baby boomers are about to relinquish their demographic advantage their generation has always taken care of itself and always will judging from your comments the majority seemed to understand that i've been on the card s

i have been working and have had the opportunity to work with older adults for over four -- 40 years in that time, certainly and the beginning, there were not options for folks other than nursing homes. i remember watching grandparents go into nursing homes because there was nothing else for them. i remember being in a nursing home and listening to an older stoic farmer who cried every day because all he wanted was to go back to the farm because there was nobody there during the day because his family was in the field, so he had to stay at the nursing home. i remember working with two women who became very close friends here in san francisco who had, after 10 years in nursing home, the well-being to go home, but the have lost their home when the time that they had been there. so there they were. in 40 years, we have seen a lot of other things happen. we have seen the introduction of pace, the social day, social work services and case management. we saw the introduction of home care. most importantly and why we were here today as we saw the introduction of adult day health centers. at

>> this guy was my fantastic, magnet, bossy, difficult, older brother carl. he was the red state to my blue state. all you have to understand to know about how complicated and difficult this relationship was my first memory of my brother was with when he sail me out a window when i was 2 years old and in the san antonio emergency room with a cut on my eye brow. he gave me the gift of a hard head. he went from there to being the youngest member of the john berk society and coming into my room to smash my joan biaz records because she was on the list. he was complicated, but saying all of that he was mysterious. he grew up to be a trial lawyer turned apple orchardist. part of the madening sibling thing was understanding the control freak nature that my brother had. for example, every year he would send me a box of fruit. the fruit he grew in his gorgeous orchards in washington state. the fruit came with the carl tax where you would get 25 telephone calls before the fruit came, such as, fruit is coming next week, are you going to be home? this is said in a texas

that's fully a continuation of caring for one's elders as they get older.is something that's still very prominent, very strong in asian families, even here in the united states, even here in san francisco, and, and one of the concrete ways this idea of feelialty has been demonstrated in san francisco is the building of low income housing for japanese elders. >> okay. >> and this, of course, this is a housing project, built in japantown, built with hud money for low income japanese elders, and so it's hud money, so they cannot discriminate against people who reside there. but this was originally built with the intention of offering an alternative housing, good housing for japanese elders. >>> and talk a little bit about the specialness of that, and while here's another slide, this is, what? >> this is an assisted living facility. i had input into -- not so much the design, but the spiritual makeup. i don't know a better word for that. this is a very elite project, very unique project. why? because this was built in a community and it was sponsored by what we

show and last night's program last time we discussed the growing wealth gap between the younger and older generations in this country however some might claim it the most recent numbers are misleading and you'll inter-generational warfare that of reminding everyone that they are the ninety nine percent so is this growing gap something worth being concerned about going to produce or for treason to send to you to find out what you have to say. young people enjoy having money and a good job just as much as the next person compared to an older american they have a lot less of both the good jobs and the good money now after all the older generation grew up in time the pensions and enjoying booming economic cycles but most of all they have jobs now those older than sixty five now have forty seven times as much net worth as a double household headed by someone under thirty five years old so while the wealth gap is undeniable is the divide between generations to be concerned about or something trying to create intergenerational warfare well steve said the numbers that show older people way ahead

household headed by a person age sixty five or older has a net worth forty seven times greater than a household headed by someone under thirty five big jump since one thousand nine hundred four when older families only had wealth ten times greater than those under thirty five now it says to stick with many of pointed to in the fight to restructure social security and raise the retirement age is their ideal but older doing so much better than the gun kind of misleading our guests and i argue that it could fuel an intergenerational class war paying americans of different ages against each other and it's a time when the occupy movement is trying to bring the ninety nine percent together joining me to discuss it is joshua holland editor and senior writer at alternate dot org joshua thanks so much for being on tonight and i guess let's start with give us some figures some explanation as to what it is that you see as misleading within this study that came out. sure well this is one of those situations where you have a headline the one that you mentioned where the wealth gap between househol

a lot of playgrounds are very focused on younger kids without adequate attention being given to older kids. a lot of times you have parents who are involved to have young kids that helped design it, and then the kids get older, and it is not as useful. i know recreation and park has recently been focused on this to make sure a range of children are able to use the playgrounds. >> absolutely. our playgrounds serve children of different age ranges. i think you are referring to the episode i of those part playground, which we work with recently, and we are on the verge of breaking ground for a playground geared to slightly older children. it is my understanding from conversations with our playground advocates that the idea would be to have it accepted for basically two different age groups and also proposed play equipment for older youth. supervisor wiener: thank you. >> i was just going to ask -- i appreciate what you said about keeping families in the city and challenging obesity with more outdoor activity. i know you, as a father, and a family guy show that in your life as well, but d

younger and older americans are further apart than ever financially. a new report from the pew reseach center shows the wealth gap between different generations has stretched to the widest on record. darren gersh tells us what's behind the historic divide. >> reporter: in markets and in life, it helps to have good timing. bad timing explains a great deal of the growing wealth gap between young people and their parents, says the pew research center's paul taylor. >> think about most younger homeowners, those who are under the age of 35 and own a home. most of them have purchased their homes the last 10 years or so. many of them purchased their homes at prices inflated by the bubble, and when the bubble burst-- and they find themselves behind, they have less equity in their homes, and some of them are so far behind that they find themselves underwater-- that they face foreclosure. >> reporter: taylor says older homeowners who bought earlier and rode the housing boom are doing much better than 30- somethings. a new pew research center study finds median n

they are providing housing that allows older people to allow -- to remain in the mmunity.wever, they do not have the means that because of hazardous physical environments is a particular risk for entering institutions. when the city came out, we were trying to move beyond the findings, and one of the things that senior action network does do is we, along with a couple of agencies, distribute a housing list, and basically many of the listings on the affordable housing lists are really just sro hotels and waiting lists, and at some point, i can distribute the list so you can see. there is the ambassador hotel, another tell, the civic center, and some of these are cattell's, and region some of these are hotels. -- and some of these are hotels. there are few options as to where they can go next. so there is rarely immediately available housing for seniors, persons with disabilities on very limited fixed incomes, so sometimes you go to craigslist and 03 other things, but it is very hard to face people when they have desperate housing situations. to be faced with a very high agi

the girl is apparently older -- two years older than justin. he would have 16 at the time which is statutory rape. >> makes her 18. yeah. those are fuzzy when you're that close in age. >> you and i differ on these kinds of things. the law is the law for a reason. >> she believes everything is black and white. >> here's what i also think. if it's a lie she should have charges brought against her. for defamation of character. there's got to be a stop to this at some point, too. >> the timing is questionable. her lawsuit -- her suit against him is coming out right when his album is released. >> yeah. and the baby's 3 months old? how about when she got pregnant? >> that's how cynical we've become as a culture. everything's planned. >> everything's planned. i wish i could be devious like that and manipulate stuff and plan stuff. i say bring it on. let it happen. bring it. >> if you fantasize about your celebrity crush, and you're married or in a committed relationship, one study says it's a good thing. because it keeps the -- the juices flowing, app

if a car is a years or older, no receipt is required to buy or sell it for scrap. police say for now the focus is on the tow truck driving thieves. they are still hunting for this man, and darrell green. he has taken about a dozen cars. >> he goes around the beltway with a tow truck. he sees a car breaking down. he takes it to the scrap yard. >> these are older cars. they are not very expensive. police say they are very valuable to the people who depend on them for transportation. since they are older cars, they do not have comprehensive insurance. >>> officials say it and the dick -- an egyptian couple turned their home into a prison for their higher del. a grand jury indicted -- the abuse allegedly happened at this home. the couple forced to indonesian when to work long hours at well below minimum wage. favor not allowed to leave the house. the husband is accused of sexually abusing both women. >> just sorrow for the girls that were involved. it is disgusting. that is the overall reaction. on my own part, why did we notice? why weren't we more aware of what is go

older americans many times turn to alcohol for hard economic times. men are 30% more likely to take up heavy drinking than men that are financially stable and older women seem to cut back on drinking, but both increased on smoking. >>> check with us at 4:00, 5:00 and 6:00. military scandal and how they handled the war dead. >>> if you drive a toyota, hundreds of thousands of cars are being recalled. why in consumer watch. join us for this and the copd makes it hard to breathe, so i wasn't playing much of a role in my own life, but with advair, i'm breathing better so now i can take the lead on a science adventure. advair is clinically proven to help significantly improve lung function. unlike most copd medications, advair contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator, working together to help improve your lung function all day. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day. people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia. advair may increase your ri

while older voters have leaned reliably more republican. pews president andy kohut says this generational divide promises to be even more dram thick time around. >> there are huge value differences between the youngest and oldest voters in the country, that almost seem baked in. >> woodruff: so the called millennial generation, voters 18 to 30 still like president obama more than any other age group. but just half say they approve of the job he is doing. down 24 points from when he took office. >> the millennials gave obama his biggest margin over 20 percentage points. and the margin now is lower but more importantly than the actual margin, the level of engagement is much lower than it was four years ago. >> woodruff: this should worry democrats like strategist maria carkona who says young people are vital to president obama's re-election. >> millennials are going to have a tremendous influence in this election. you are going to see president obama and democrats and the white house continue to speak specifically to them about the issues tha

so what remains are older, sicker people who have no other options.so this creates a classic death spiral where you have increasingly costly group. and is actually benefits companies because the more people who drop out, well, that's people they don't have to pay for. another way that i have seen, another factor increasing these costs is that companies can charge a salaried people more, and some of them do, to subsidize what they have to pay for the collective bargain. don't blame the unions for this produces the company saying will come if we can't get out of paying the union guys, we're going to charge the salaried guys more and we use that access now to pay so we don't have to pay. and, of course, this has a finite life. the all-star to drop out. but we will enjoy it while it lasted so that's a trend i've seen with retiree health care. so the answer to question is, it is unlikely that we're going to see the same kind of program exist for people now. >> none of us are in a union so we are all getting treated the same way. i think what we're starting

another reality, and they know that the hills, coupled with the grand staircase is on many of the olderildings we have can also be a harsh reality for seniors or younger persons -- persons with mobility challenges. perspective. my job is to talk about the work that has been done to include the key collaborative to help focus on ways to enhance the quality of life of seniors that happened to be living in the single room occupancy hotels. this working group has committed. something should be done and can be done to address the growing population in the sro's. the department coordinate services for adults with disabilities and their families to maximize self-sufficiency so that they may continue to live in the community as long as possible and maintain the highest quality of life. there is a strong probability that it could extend a lot longer than when we first came to the department in 1989. thanks to the decision of 1999, which determined that states must provide community-based services for persons with disabilities the otherwise might received institutional care, and is then impacted

>> laurie was a person i talked to about the situation as i got older. she was there a lot of the times, seen a lot of things that were going on, you know, when bernie would come down the basement in his house at night, when i was laying down there. she had to see him every night do that. laurie was the only one else that knew about what was going on and saw things that were happening with her own eyes and that we talked about it. >> i know everything that went on you know, i know everything that went on with him. bernie is an idiot. maybe he is not aware of it, but he is an idiot.

everybody develops wrinkles as they get older, but they also develop folds. folds are the part of the face where the fat begins to descend, and it's tethered, and so a deep fold, and are the things that become pretty obvious. it's not that the folds get deeper, it's that this fat begins to descend and make the fold create a shadow. so these things can be addressed with fillers, and botox can be used to weaken muscles that are causing some deep furrows. all these things can be done, but in reality, the only thing that really works aggressively, or works for fairly substantial structural descent of the face, is some form of a resuspension, or face-lift. >> salgo: okay, let me stop you there. because that's the surgical approach. you, i suspect, do a lot of lasers, and you do fillers. >> so, with the laser or the filler, what i have found is that we've advanced so much in our options of fillers. just 10 years ago, we had one or two. now we have five or six different choices. >> salgo: a filler is a chemical. >> a filler is an ingredient. it could be hyaluronic a
