Never trust a genie
Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course. The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us." So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door.
A warm voice said, "Come on in." When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the broken window. A man reclining on the couch asked, "Are you the people that broke my window?" "Uh...yeah, sir. We're sure sorry about that," the husband replied. "Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you. You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for myself." "Wow, that's great!" the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, "I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life." "No problem," said the genie. "You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!" "And now you, young lady, what do you want?" the genie asked. "I'd like to own a gorgeous home complete with servants in every country in the world," she said. "Consider it done," the genie said. "And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!" "And now," the couple asked in unison, "what's your wish, genie?" "Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to sleep with your wife." The husband looked at his wife and said, "Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?" She mulled it over for a few moments and said, "You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?" "You know I love you sweetheart," said the husband. "I'd do the same for you!" So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable. After about three hours of non-stop fun, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, "How old are you and your husband?" "Why, we're both 35," she responded breathlessly. "Really?! Thirty-five years old and both of you still believe in genies?"
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain |

Nativity Flight into Egypt Hours of the Virgin: Vespers Hours of Catherine of Cleves, in Latin Illuminated by the Master of Catherine of Cleves The Netherlands, Utrecht, ca. 1440 7 1/2 x 5 1/8 inches (192 x 130 mm) In this Nativity, Mary and Joseph kneel in adoration of their son, the Savior. Although Joseph holds a candle, its light is rendered moot by the radiantly lit sky from which the angel descends to tell the good news to the shepherds tending their flocks in the hills. Typical of the artist's interest in detail is the distant castle, surrounded by a ruined wall, to which a man makes his way along a winding path. The smaller miniature illustrates the Holy Family's journey to Egypt to escape Herod's slaughter of all newborn children (for he had heard that one would overthrow him). Purchased on the Belle da Costa Greene Fund with the assistance of the Fellows and with special assistance of Mrs. Frederick B. Adams, Sr., Mrs. Robert Charles, Mr. Laurens M. Hamilton, The Heineman Foundation, Mrs. Donald F. Hyde, Mrs. Jacob M. Kaplan, Mrs. John Kean, Mr. Paul Mellon, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Morgan, Mr. Lessing J. Rosenwald, Mr. and Mrs. August H. Schilling, Mrs. Herbert N. Straus, Mrs. Landon K. Thorne, Mrs. Alan Valentine, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Whitridge, and Miss Julia P. Wightman, 1970; MS M.945, ff. 35v–36r
Hours of the Virgin The heart of every Book of Hours is the series of prayers called the Hours of the Virgin. Each Hour is composed of psalms plus hymns, biblical readings, and short phrases (antiphons, versicles, and responses). Ideally, these eight Hours were prayed throughout the course of the day:
Who Was Catherine of Cleves? Catherine of Cleves (1417–1476) is known for two things: her Book of Hours and her protracted political battle against her husband. In 1430 she married Arnold of Egmond (1410 –1473), becoming duchess of Guelders. Although she bore her husband six children, the marriage was not happy. By 1440 Catherine refused to live with him. War between husband and wife was sparked by Arnold's disinheriting his only living son, Adolf (1438–1477; rumor had it that Adolf accused his father of homosexuality). Catherine's siding with her son in the conflict led to anarchy. The cities of Nijmegen, Zutphen, and Arnhem supported Catherine and her son; Roermond sided with the duke. In 1465 mother and son imprisoned Arnold, forcing him to abdicate. Adolf, as duke, spent six years in ceaseless struggles with his father's supporters. In 1471 Catherine watched in horror as Arnold secured his freedom and regained his title while Adolf was imprisoned. Arnold died in 1473, disinheriting both wife and son. Catherine's death in 1476 robbed her seeing the release of her son. Adolf's liberty was short-lived; he died the next year.

Editor: What a thrill it was to go to Frankfort and see our Trimble County High School girls' basketball team beat Murray on Wednesday night. Several hundred folks made the trip to see our "never-say-die" team overcome a much taller squad. Our ladies fought back over and over to win a two-overtime squeaker.
This week in Frankfort, the Senate passed key pieces of legislation that help our students and school districts, provide economic development and access to better communications, and give law enforcement time-saving investigation procedures.
With more than half of state government's revenue dedicated to education, it shouldn't be a surprise that many of the bills considered by the General Assembly every year are also centered on the subject. That was certainly the case last week in the Kentucky House of Representatives, which sent to the Senate several pieces of legislation designed to improve different facets of our schools.
Recently, someone passed on a bit of gossip to me. This person said, according to reliable sources, a certain person at a certain local church did something that, while doesn't technically violate the letter of any of the Ten Commandments, is unseemly for, as this person put it, "church people." That same week my pastor said someone came to him and informed him that a certain person who was attending the pastor's class with the intent of joining the church was, indeed, not a very nice person, maybe even a despicable one.
Whenever corporate leaders scout for new locations to expand or re-locate their business, they consider such obvious things as infrastructure, government incentives, taxes and the cost to build. Above all else, though, they look at the quality of the local workforce, according to annual surveys done by Site Selection magazine, a national trade publication that tracks economic development.
A few weeks ago, I watched a movie on TV called "The Perfect Family."
Right away, just by the title, you know they're not perfect.
The main character is Eileen, the mother of the family. A devout Catholic, she attends Mass every day, and at confession she confesses every sin she can think of down to her gossipy thoughts.
She serves communion and delivers food to the homebound. She's careful to pray before meals and keeps a family altar in her home.
On Nov. 24, the Jameson family named their newborn baby girl Hashtag, after Twitter's use of the (#) symbol.
The year before, an Egyptian man named his son Facebook, and in 2011 an Israeli couple named their baby Like.
These babies join celebrities' babies Spec Wildhorse Mellencamp, Moxie Crimefighter Jillette, Pilot Inspecktor Lee and Audio Science Clayton, which makes Apple Blythe Alison Martin sound almost traditional as a baby name.
Kentucky is blessed to have not one but several "signature" industries, those areas of the economy where few if any states have a bigger impact.
Since last summer, we've gotten a much clearer picture of just how extensive some of these industries are.
The latest news about two of them, in fact, came last week. First, we learned that Kentucky churned out more than a million cars and trucks last year, the most our four assembly plants have built since 2007. Only three states produced more.

Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske was expected to name Brussow against the Chiefs, but opted against fielding the Springboks fetcher as the Free State based loose forward ranks operated well against the Sharks a fortnight ago, and held their own against a championship winning back row over the weekend.
However the missing link was a turnover threat at the ruck, meaning that the Chiefs were allowed to patiently reset their attacking or defensive lines throughout the contest.
Drotske told the Volksblad website in South Africa last week that it was expected Brussow would return after being out of action for the last five months with a shoulder injury.
"He should definitely be ready against the Highlanders," Drotske said prior to the Chiefs clash.
"We said before the Sharks game that if we remain injury-free and the loose forwards do well, then we won't use Heinrich against the Chiefs. We'll probably give him another week."

The Bulldogs wrestling team won two championships — both in lower weights, and placed six wrestlers to take fifth place at Saturday's Eagle Valley Invitational. At 113 pounds, senior Garrett Toothaker (11-4) was favored to win the tournament and was 3-0 for the day, pinning Raul Lopez of Eagle Valley in 53 seconds for the championship.
The Rangely boys basketball team probably expected trouble from Hotchkiss, but it wasn't prepared for River Panish. The junior guard put up a game-high 24 points, including 19 points in the first half, to lift the Bulldogs to a 57-43 non-conference win Saturday over Rangely (6-2).
Katie Richards was deadly from the paint. The junior post player scored a game-high 16 points to lead the Hotchkiss girls basketball team, which shot five three-pointers, to defeat Rangely, 59-23, Saturday.
The Hotchkiss girls basketball team expected to open the season at home against Paonia, but the rivalry games are all rescheduled for Jan. 21.
Hotchkiss opens the new year with a 3-2 record.

Taylor Lautner and Gus Van Sant to Make Pretty-Boy Boxing Flick?

Jurors in the embezzlement trial for former State Senator Pedro Espada Jr. heard testimony from a former lawyer for his Bronx health care clinic on Wednesday.
Alexander Fear said he was never told Espada got a pay raise after he was elected to the State Senate in 2008.
The federal government, which contributed funding to the clinic, wanted Espada to take a pay cut to reflect his reduced hours after bing elected to his seat in Albany.
Fear told the court Espada asked him to write to the government saying the lawmaker would be cutting back his hours.
The government was also told, inaccurately, that Espada was also cutting back on his pay.

Originally posted on Gigaom:
When violence erupted in Cairo this week, Al Jazeera once again became the go-to source for on-the-ground news coverage. The network streamed live from Egypt's capital, and uploaded dozens of videos to its YouTube channel. However, U.S. visitors to the site found themselves turned away, with an error message on YouTube (s GOOG) telling them that "the upload has not made this video available in your country."
The blocking, which began on Thursday, is part of a concession that Al Jazeera made to get pay TV operators to carry its new Al Jazeera America network, which is scheduled to launch next Tuesday. With the launch, Al Jazeera will also start to block U.S. viewers from accessing its international live stream. Al Jazeera had previously said that it was going to disable access to the live stream, but many viewers will likely be surprised by this extending to news clips on YouTube as well – especially because these clips have been a big reason that people are intrigued with Al Jazeera's take on TV news in the first place.
Al Jazeera tried for a number of years to get U.S. cable companies to carry its Al Jazeera English station. The big pay TV operators refused, in part because they didn't want to be associated with what Bush administration officials essentially had branded an enemy network. That's why Al Jazeera took to the internet instead, streaming its program live online around the clock and uploading both news clips and entire shows to its YouTube channel, which to date features more than 41,000 videos.

Yields about 3 dozen cookies.
These spicy ginger crackles are chewy, old-fashioned cookies with broad appeal.
Heat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. In another large bowl, beat the butter, shortening, and 1 cup of the sugar with a mixer or a wooden spoon until well combined. Add the egg and molasses to the butter mixture; beat well. Add the dry ingredients and mix until well blended, scraping down the bowl often (if you're using an electric mixer, set it on low speed). Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the remaining sugar. Put the balls 2 inches apart (they need room to spread) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges and puffed, about 13 minutes. Let the cookies sit for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
To freeze these ahead, put the sugared dough balls on a tray in the freezer until they're rock-hard and then stash them in zip-top bags. When it's time to bake, arrange them on cookie sheets and let them thaw while the oven heats up.

by lobsterwoman, 2/20/2013These are Fantastic! I made these for a fundraiser, and people said they were the best cookie they had ever had! I froze the uncooked dough balls and then just baked them off as needed after they came back to room temperature. Recipe doubles and triples easily. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. The combination of ginger, cinnamon, cloves & molasses gave the cookie great flavor. Even people who said they didn't like ginger cookies Loved these and came back for more. Shelf life was a good week. Perfect.

We need the 'Control-a-Kid' remote
If the TV is the modern-day nanny, then the remote must at least be the part-time neighborhood sitter. That's why so many of versions have been created with children in mind, from kiddie clickers to remotes designed to make them go cold turkey.
Finally, someone has taken this concept to its logical extreme: the "Control-a-Kid" remote. To wit, according its description: "The Control-a-Kid remote has all the functions you will need to help keep those little monsters under control. Functions like stop sulking or tantrums, eat greens to do homework and more. What is even better … Read more

May 18: Prayer Day for Star Mountain and Middle East Peace
February 21, 2014 in Uncategorized by dguthrie
The Southern and Northern Province Provincial Elders' Conference have designated Sunday, May 18, 2014 as the Prayer Day for Star Mountain and Middle East Peace.
The Moravian work at Star Mountain began in 1867. At the Synod of 2006, our Province became a member of Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP).
A bulletin insert provides basic information about Star Mountain and the work of Churches for Middle East Peace. Congregations are invited to include this in worship bulletins in March. In April specific prayer concerns and additional resources for observing the Prayer Day will be provided.
The coming months are important ones as our country and others are giving increased attention to achieving a just and lasting peace for Israel and Palestine, and the need to support our sisters and brothers at Star Mountain is certainly ongoing.

look: 4.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
Appearance: Black, foamy tan head that never died, nice lacing that held on throughout the drink.
Smell: Heavy peppery hop smell with a slight hint of fruit at the rear of the nose.
Taste: Not at all what I expect from an IPA. Smooth and almost sweet at the front with a quick hit of bitter hops and a slight but not lingering hop aftertaste. Mixed in the middle is a fig/fruit sweetness that comes as quickly as it leaves.
Mouthfeel: Very light for an IPA.
Overall: Quite good for a dark IPA. I'm glad I found this on cask. I'm thinking the cask toned it down. Overall a good drink.

Wing 1986

September 28, 2013 - January 5, 2014
Nashville Public Library - Conte-Bredesen Courtyard Gallery
615 Church Street
Nashville, Tennessee 37219
As a part of the 25th anniversary celebration for Arts at the Airport (AaA), more than 50 pieces of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority's (MNAA) permanent art collection will be shared with Nashville residents as a part of the prestigious Metro Library Art Exhibit Program. The exhibit, entitled
First Flight Out: Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority Shares Its Corporate Art Collection,
showcases selected pieces that represent the entire body of work. This will be the first time that the MNAA and AaA have traveled pieces from the collection to a community exhibit.
From 1988 through 1990, the AaA program played a major role in the review and recommendation for art acquisition for the MNAA. The permanent collection includes 245 artworks in various styles and media, including painting, sculpture, photography, stained glass, printmaking and mixed media on paper. The collection was formed to spotlight contemporary Tennessee artists, including some of the state's most acclaimed creators. The collection was funded by setting aside a percentage of construction funds that were dedicated for the newly constructed Nashville Airport terminal facility which opened in 1987. This was a precursor for the program now known at the 1% for Public Art Program utilized by many cities and airports across the nation (including Nashville).
Please note that this exhibit is not located in the Nashville International Airport terminal. It is located at the Nashville Public Library (address above).
First Flight Out
is sponsored in part by the Nashville Public Library Foundation.

Workers are less committed and less satisfied today than they were five years ago, according to a new survey by the employment benefits gurus at Mercer.
The discontent seems to stem partly from the economy and employer mandates that have fewer workers doing much more with less pay and stability. The fall out apparently is measurable, Mercer officials said.
According to the survey, the most disgruntled workers reported being ready to bolt and greatly dissatisfied with their benefit packages, type of work,available training opportunities and compensation.
"Engagement today is at historic low levels and employees are not happy with the current deal, said Pete Foley, Mercer's Employee Research Leader for North America. "Employees are reacting to actions taken during the economic downturn, such as cuts in pay, benefits, training and promotions and increased workloads due to layoffs."
Foley suggests that employers assess employee engagement levels within their firms to determine which workers are at risk of leaving.
Key results from the survey found that those most likely to be "so outta here" tend to be:

Our take: With rugged 600x600D high quality construction using the finest materials, the Airsoft Megastore Armory line of tactical gear offers the best bang for the buck on the market. Comparable 600x300D holsters sell for $20-$30, while other true 600x600D construction drop leg holsters sell for over $35-$50+.The Urban Assault Drop Leg Holster is a high quality, player-oriented holster that both protects and stores your sidearm, securing it while allowing for quick and easy access to the weapon. Equipped with two adjustable leg straps and a single adjustable belt strap, this holster is solid. It fits M9, M92F, P226, P229, and other compact frame pistols. At the introductory sale price, it is an absolute steal.In comparison to the majority of the other sub-$30 600x300D holsters currently on the market, the Airsoft Megastore Armory Urban Assault Drop Leg Holster stands out in a league of its own due to the simple fact that it has better build material and precision stitching, allowing it to be up to twice as strong in wear-and-tear tests conducted between the Airsoft Megastore Armory UA Drop Leg Holster's material and a leading 600x300D holster's material.Features:- Fits M9, M92F, P226, P229, and other compact frame pistols- Precision high velocity QuikSnap pistol retention snap/buckle- 2 adjustable length leg straps with high quality strengthened polymer clips- 1 adjustable length belt strap with large high quality strengthened polymer clip- 1 Integrated side magazine pouch with cover- Adjustable size (for leg size and user height); universal fitmentColor: OD GREENWhy Airsoft Megastore Armory?Airsoft Megastore Armory was founded on the principle of bringing premium grade products to the Airsoft market at aggressively low prices. The MilForce line of holsters and gear does just that, bringing genuine 600x600D Tactical-Grade construction (preferred by military trainers and experienced Airsoft enthusiasts alike) to the market at unbelievably low prices. The attention to detail, quality in materials, stitching and construction, among other things, has made Airsoft Megastore Armory gear highly desirable, as beginning players and veteran players alike can enjoy rugged, durable gear at a price that won't break the bank.

Medical Error 'Second Victims' Get Some Help, Finally
Johns Hopkins research center director Albert Wu, MD, was a San Diego house officer when a fellow resident "failed to appreciate the significance of a patient's test result. An urgent problem became an emergency in the middle of the night" and the patient had to be rushed into surgery.
The staff turned on the resident, who "bore the brunt of finger pointing and criticism" for his lapse in medical judgment, Wu recalls.
"It became a bit of a mob, [with] bullying, with gossip, and [with] criticizing and castigating," Wu says. The way the resident was treated, "was wrong, because he shouldn't have been the only one seen as responsible for every aspect of this patient's care. More importantly, it wasn't a good way to handle the problem."
In fact, it was quite destructive.
That was in 1987, but the incident nagged at Wu as he realized that healthcare organizations are missing an opportunity to help caregivers grapple with the emotional distress of errors and bad outcomes they see so often.
"Although patients are the first and obvious victims of medical mistakes, doctors are wounded by the same errors; they are the second victims," he wrote in a British Medical Journal article in 2000.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Disabled and in pain (9/19/2013 at 6:20 PM)
Daniel, that was so well put! The godlike status of these doctors has got to stop. Pat, and everyone else who has been harmed, I am a patient-victim as well, and I'm sorry that you're suffering. Not ONE of the employees who assisted in the surgery - that was done against my need and consent - stepped forward to speak up. I am worried about dying on the street because, thanks to this horrifically negligent, ego-drive surgeon and his complicit team, I am disabled, can't work anymore, and will die from this. The 'team' saw me after surgery , I called, emailed, and showed them the horrific way my body was maimed, yet they all sat tight-lipped AND no one notated my cries in the medical records [INVALID] as per the doctors orders, right? After all, he's the only controlling the paychecks. I know that one nurse changed jobs soon after my surgery. Was that a coincidence? I don't know. If she changed jobs because she felt badly that she participated in my butchering, then she needs to contact me and SPEAK UP. Of course doctors fabricate the reports because it's not about ethics or conscience, it's about money. So, to any medical employee who is suffering in silence [INVALID] step up and speak up NOW. Be an advocate for the human being whose body and life you helped to ruin. Daniel is right: the medical boards aren't tossing these guys out of practice. They allow the most despicable of doctors to keep operating. What is wrong with the horrible, horrible system! Get it together, medical boards. In theory, I get the idea of this article, but only in theory. In reality, people such as myself were butchered, and doctors, nurses, and other clinicians could devote their lives towards restitution, but they don't. Instead, they treat iatrogenically harmed patients as if they are disposable. Whoops, sorry (but not enough to speak up because I'm more concerned about me), NEXT! "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing."

I know what it's like to be the family member of someone who's had a medical mistake made on them, and a healthcare worker who's life was devastated after being accused of a medical mistake. When you're the "first victim," you have options. There are support groups, sympathy, apologies, and many people seek legal action. In the case of the healthcare worker, you are singled out, silenced, and made to feel like you can't do the job you used to love. In many cases you lose your job and ability to support yourself and family, too. Healthcare facilities need to look at adverse events as ways to improve patient care facility-wide. If one person made an error in good faith, certainly it could happen again to someone else. Punishing the employee just spreads an attitude of fear to report errors. Thank you for this important, often overlooked aspect of healthcare.
Daniel Long (1/18/2013 at 9:41 AM)
Absolutely speechless!!! I could not have been more insulted. Second victim? Hospitals are irresponsible if they don't spend MORE money for patting the doctors on the head saying "Its OK, it is the patients fault, you are still godlike, besides it will cost us money to replace you if you don't push this out of your mind and keep the money coming in" Heck with the family, we already falsified the records, they will never know, and besides, we already have the Medical Boards blessing to cover this little incident up. Here, our next customer ($$$,$$$.$$) is waiting for you. ;-) You can quote me on that. Danny Long

Many factors affect the need for special services by the elderly, participation in programs for the elderly, and the type and amount of support to which elderly persons have access. The list is long and the interrelations are complex. The tables presented offer data on only some of these important variables:
Living with a spouse is a primary factor contributing to the support and independence of the elderly. The majority of elderly men, but only a minority of elderly women, are currently married and living with their spouses-a pattern that is expected to continue over the next several decades.
Projections of the Bureau of the Census show in Table 6a divide marital status broadly into "never married" and "ever married." Within "ever married" are two categories, "married, spouse present" and "other"-a large category that includes widowed, divorced, and married but not living with spouse. According to projected estimates of the marital distribution of the 1995 population, about 5 percent of elderly men have never married, about 71 percent are married and living with their spouses, and about 24 percent are widowed, divorced, or married and not living with their spouses. The percent of never-married women is somewhat higher than for men, but the striking difference is in the distribution between "married, spouse present," and the "other ever-married" statuses. A little more than one-third of the women are married and living with their spouses, while nearly three-fifths are in the "other" group-most being widowed, and the rest either divorced or married but not living with spouses. According to the census projections, by 2010 the proportions will not experience significant change.
Married, spouse present
SOURCE: U.S. Bureau of the Census (1996b).
Table compiled by National Aging Information Center
In contrast to the overall elderly population, the percentages of men and women aged 75 and over, married and living with spouses, are substantially lower, and the percentages reported in the "other" category are substantially higher, with most being widowed. Only three-fifths of the men and one-fifth of the women 75 years and over are currently married and living with spouses. Nearly three-fourths of the women were previously married, but are unmarried now. Age and sex differences in mortality, in particular the premature mortality of men, contribute significantly to the sex differences in the marital distribution in later life. Because differences in mortality are expected to continue but converge somewhat, the marital distribution of elderly people is also expected to change. By 2010, the "married spouse present" status will tend to rise for men and women by nearly two-thirds and one-quarter, respectively.
The projections of the marital status of the population prepared by the SSA are consistent with those of the Bureau of the Census through the year 2010, the terminal year of the census projections (see Table 6b). The SSA projections presented in this report extend to 2050. Because the SSA figures on the percent married include absent spouses, they are somewhat higher than those of the Bureau of the Census. In 1995, about three-quarters of the men, and two-fifths of the women 65 and over, were married. After 2010, the proportion of married men is expected to decline substantially, from 73 percent in 2010 to 67 percent in 2050. The proportion of married women is expected to rise from 39 percent in 1995 to 44 percent in 2030 and then decline to 42 percent in 2050.

SOURCE: Social Security Administration (1995).
¹ Married includes those married with spouse absent.
By ages 85 and over, many married persons have died, leaving numerous widows and some widowers. Consequently, in 1995, the proportion married is sharply lower in this oldest age group, 51 percent for men and 14 percent for women. The proportions married at ages 85 and over for both men and women are expected to fluctuate between 1995 and 2050, with small net gains by 2050.
There are interesting variations on the basis of race in the proportions of married elderly persons expected in the years to 2000 (Himes, 1992). Paralleling the marital distribution of the general population, over three-quarters of white men aged 65 and over were married in 1995 and will be married in 2000. About two-fifths of white females aged 65 and over were married in 1995 and will be married in 2000. The patterns for the older aged are about the same, but the marital proportions are much lower. According to Himes (1992), for these ages, somewhat over one- half of the white men, and one-tenth to one-eighth of the white women are married. The figures for blacks are much lower than for whites for both of these age ranges.
Back to top
Children, after spouses, are the next most important potential source of social support for elderly people. About one-third of white women and nearly one-quarter of black women aged 65 and over were married and had at least one child in 1995. Himes (1992) projected little change in these proportions from 1995 to 2000. Forty-seven percent of white elderly women were unmarried and had at least one child, and this proportion is expected to increase to only 48 percent by 2000. Fifty percent of black unmarried women aged 65 and over had at least one child, and that figure is expected to reach 52 percent by 2000. Linking the Himes projections for 2000 with projections made by Siegel and Ghadialy (1993b) for 2010, we can anticipate a large increase in the percentage of elderly white women with at least one child in the current decade, from 79 percent in 1990 to 85 percent in 2000, and then a small rise to 86 percent in 2010. The large increase from 1990 to 2000 reflects not only the continuing decline in the mortality of children and young adults but also the rise in fertility and marriage during the baby-boom era. The figures for elderly white men are very similar to those for elderly white women. The proportions of black men and women (especially black men) who have at least one child are much lower than for whites. In the final analysis, these figures suggest that a great majority, but by no means all, of elderly women will have a child available for support in 2010.
Two groups-elderly unmarried men with no children, and elderly unmarried women with no children-are small and declining. The percentage of unmarried elderly white women with no children declined from 17 percent in 1985 to 13 percent in 1995, and is expected to decline to 12 percent in 2000. For black women it is expected to be 20 percent in 2000, down from 26 percent in 1985 and 22 percent in 1995 (Himes, 1992).
Married elderly men and women without children may be able to depend on a spouse for support, but only as long as the spouse does not die or become disabled. This group is smaller than the elderly unmarried group and its numbers have been declining even more rapidly. Nine percent of white men and 12 percent of black men will belong to this group in 2000; for women the figures are 4 and 5 percent, respectively.
For persons aged 85 and over, the percentages of men and women married with children are much lower than for the age group 65 to 84 (Himes, 1992). The percentages of both married and unmarried persons with at least one child are projected to increase markedly between 1990 and 2020, while the percentages for those without children are projected to decline significantly. This pattern is consistent with the higher survival rate for women who have children, but the trend is probably more affected by the general rise in marriage and fertility since the 1930's. Only about 8 percent of the 85-and-over age population will be unmarried and without children in 2020.
As stated previously, nearly three-quarters of elderly men are married and live with spouses, but only one-third of elderly women are married and live with spouses. About 31 percent of all elderly lived alone in 1990, and four-fifths of these were women (Table 7). Since most elderly men are married and most elderly women are not married, elderly women are more likely to live alone. One in eight elderly live with other relatives, not including a spouse. There has been a significant shift toward solitary living in recent decades. The Lewin/ICF projections show little change in the proportion of elderly persons living alone between 1990 and 2020, but it is still possible that a substantial increase could occur. Many elderly persons choose to live alone if their health and finances permit. This pattern reflects the desire of most elderly to be independent. Some of those who live alone have a child or children living nearby. Others have a child or children living at a distance who regularly keep in touch with them.

Solitary living increases with advancing age. In 1990, 47 percent of those aged 85 and over lived alone; projections show that 45 percent will live alone in 2020. The proportion of Hispanics living alone in 1990 (22 percent) was considerably lower than for whites (31 percent). While roughly 31 percent of all elderly lived alone in 1990, according to the Lewin/ICF projections, only about 8 percent lived alone and had no living children (Table 8). The figure is expected to remain at about this level until at least 2020. The figure for blacks and Asian and Pacific Islanders is substantially higher (11 percent) than for whites (8 percent), as a result of the higher percentages of blacks without living children (Himes, 1992). Furthermore, only about 2 percent of all elderly lived alone and had no living children or living siblings.

Table compiled by the National Aging Information Center
Percent of Total in Class
SOURCE: Lewin/ICF (1990) estimates based on data from the 1984 Supplement on Aging (SOA) and the Brookings/ICF Long Term Care Financing Model.
Estimates of the proportion of elderly who live alone, with no living children or siblings, among all those who live alone, vary from 11 percent (Supplement on Aging, National Health Interview Survey, 1984) to 7 percent in 1990 (Lewin/ICF estimate based on the same data; see Table 9). The proportions of elderly with no living children or siblings are higher for persons living alone than for persons living in married couples or with others, and increase with advancing age. Approximately 12 percent of persons aged 85 and over living alone have no living children or siblings. According to the Lewin/ICF series, the proportions in all age groups and living arrangement categories are not expected to change by 2020.
Changes in marital status and living arrangements result in changes in the numbers and types of households. "Headship ratios" (that is, households per 100 population) increase rapidly with increasing age up to about age 50 because of new family formations and remarriage of divorced persons (Table 10). They continue to increase thereafter in spite of rapidly rising spousal mortality rates as the surviving widowed men and women continue to maintain their own homes. As a result, the peak headship ratio occurs at the highest ages, shown in Table 10 as 64 households per 100 population at ages 75 and over in 1995. Census data indicate, however, a decline within the oldest age groups as householders move in with close relatives or into group quarters when health fails or income falls too low. The projections of the Bureau of the Census, released in 1996, imply modest changes in headship ratios by 2010, with slight gains at the middle and older ages.
SOURCE: U.S. Bureau of the Census (1996b). Table compiled by National Aging Information Center
Households maintained by elderly persons (Table 11) are mostly either households maintained by married couples (45 percent) or households maintained by a woman with no relatives present (35 percent). Married couple households are much less common, and female-headed nonfamily households are much more common at the older ages than at younger age groups. This shift is evident even within the older ages. As the age of the householder increases from 65 through 74 to 75 and over, the proportion of married couple households decreases and the number of female-headed nonfamily households increases. Male-headed family and nonfamily households are much less common among the elderly. In fact, the former are rare. The Bureau of the Census expects no dramatic change in the distribution of types of households among the elderly between 1990 and 2020.
Married couple
Other family, female householder
Other family, male householder
Female householder
Male householder
One-fifth of all households are maintained by a person or persons aged 65 and over, and this proportion is expected to increase slightly between now and 2010, as is expected for the overall proportion of elderly in the population. These proportions can be very different for different types of households. Nearly one-half of all nonfamily households headed by a woman had an elderly head in 1995, but only one-sixth to one-seventh of the other types of households were headed by an elderly person (Table 12). With advancing age, the proportion of female-headed nonfamily households maintained by elderly persons increases, while the proportion of the other household types maintained by elderly persons tends to decrease. Changes in these proportions between now and 2010 are expected to be negligible or small.
All ages
The proportion of high-school graduates among the elderly will increase sharply in the decades to come as the more educated younger cohorts age. In 1995, 64 percent of the elderly were high-school graduates (Bureau of the Census, 1996c), and the proportion is expected to increase to over three-quarters in 2010 and to nearly seven-eighths in 2020 according to Siegel (1993a). The proportion of high school graduates remains approximately the same within a particular cohort as it ages. Consequently, the population aged 75 and over will have about the same percentages of high school graduates in a given future year as did the overall elderly population a decade earlier, and with a lag of 20 years, the population aged 85 and over will show about the same percentages of high school graduates as did the overall elderly population a few decades earlier.
In spite of these increases in education overall, the elderly remain the least educated age group in our society. In addition to the 36 percent of the elderly who have not completed high school, an additional small proportion of elderly, especially Hispanic elderly, have limited facility in the English language, even though they may have completed high school.
Trends in labor force participation among the elderly will have an important impact on economic support ratios and dependency. They affect:
Labor force participation drops sharply for both men and women with increasing age from ages 55 to 64 (and even earlier) through the oldest ages (Table 13). Two-thirds of the men and one-half of the women now work at ages 55 to 64, but relatively few men or women are still working at ages 75 and over. According to the latest labor force projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, labor force participation ratios for men at these ages will either remain unchanged or decline slightly, but those for women will continue to rise. (See also SSA series, 1992, and Urban Institute, 1989.) By themselves, these patterns do not determine a particular pattern of change in the median age at retirement for either men or women, but they suggest a halt in its historical decrease and, possibly, a stabilization. A declining trend in median age at retirement has been evident over the last 4 decades for both men and women, but the trend has leveled off somewhat since the 1970's (Gendell and Siegel, 1992 and 1996).

The projected shifts in labor force participation, median age at retirement, and longevity, along with past and projected shifts in fertility, foreshadow pronounced changes in the relative numbers of nonworkers and workers in the next half century. For example, the ratio (per 100) of nonworkers 55 years of age and over to all workers is expected to rise from 31 in 1995 to 35 in 2010 and then to 52 in 2030 (Siegel, 1993a). Currently, there are more than three workers for every older nonworker, but it is projected that in 2030 there will be less than two workers for every older nonworker. Most of these older nonworkers are women. The economic support ratio for women will fall from over 5 workers of both sexes for every female nonworker aged 55 and over in 1995 to 3.25 workers for every female nonworker aged 55 and over in 2030.
Historically, dependent or nonworking members in a household have mostly been children. After 2010, these so-called dependents will more often be elderly. Children and even many adults under age 55 who do not work generally have to be supported. The proportion of children, virtually all of whom are not working and are therefore dependent, is expected first to decline and then to increase within narrow limits, and to be nearly equaled by the number of elderly by 2030. Moreover, there is a large nonworking population aged 16 to 54, which, together with the nonworking population aged 55 to 64, exceeds the number of nonworkers 65 and over in the period up to 2010. By 2030, there will be far more nonworkers aged 65 and over (39 to 40 per 100 workers) than nonworkers aged 16 to 64 (30 per 100 workers).
In planning the financial operations of the Social Security system, the SSA has regularly charted the ratio of the number of beneficiaries under Old Age Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI) to the number of covered workers. The ratio of beneficiaries to 100 covered workers was 30-31 in 1995 in the SSA projection series II (Table 14). Compared with the level in 1995, the ratio is expected to increase sharply to 49 by the year 2030 and then to 51 in 2050. Alternatives I (Low Cost), II (Intermediate), and III (High Cost) represent different OASDI cost rates and demographic shifts. The series vary from high fertility and small reductions in death rates (Low Cost) to low fertility and substantial reductions in death rates (High Cost). The projected dependency ratios range from 43 to 56 in 2030; thereafter, the Intermediate series and the High Cost series, but not the Low Cost series, continue to increase.
SOURCE: U.S. 104th Congress, 1st session (1995).
There is a strong correlation between the cost of the OASDI programs and changes in population age patterns. Hence, the pattern of the annual cost rates of the system is similar to the pattern of the annual ratios of beneficiaries to workers. The OASDI cost rates are expected to rise rapidly after 2010 because the number of beneficiaries is expected to rise more rapidly than the number of covered workers. This will occur because the relatively large number of persons born during the period of high fertility rates after the end of World War II through the mid-1960's will reach retirement age, while the relatively small number of persons born during the subsequent decades, 1965 to 2005, will comprise the labor force.
The income situation of the elderly, on average, is relatively favorable, and the extent of poverty is less than among the rest of the population (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1996d). Yet, there is a wide dispersion in the distribution of income and assets among the elderly population. A closer look reveals a pronounced economic disparity among subgroups within the elderly population. Many elderly fall either below the poverty level or have a yearly income that is less than 200 percent of the poverty level. Women, blacks, persons living alone, very old persons, those living in rural areas, and especially persons with a combination of these characteristics are subject to living in poverty to a disproportionate degree (Siegel, 1993). However, more and more women in the older age groups as well as in the younger ones have been entering the labor force. As a consequence, these women are accumulating credits for annuities and pensions, as well as Social Security benefits and Medicare coverage, in their own right. Failure to have a pension has been linked directly to the probability of falling into poverty in old age.
In 1994, the median income of households maintained by persons aged 65 and over was $18,095, while the median for all households was $32,264 (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1996d). This 44 percent difference reflects a real decline of household income from its peak at earlier ages. Yet, it overstates the effective difference because of the smaller size of older households, the greater noncash benefits received by the elderly, and probably a greater underreporting of money income by older persons (Siegel, 1993).
Projections of income to 2020 or 2030, in comparison with current estimates for 1990, have been prepared by Rivlin and Weiner (1988), the Urban Institute (1989), and Lewin/ICF (1990). These sets of data reflect the decline of income and the increase in poverty with advancing age in the older age groups. They also reflect the considerable deficit in income of unmarried persons in comparison with married couples. The projections themselves are based on rather optimistic assumptions of the trend in per capita income and are designed to serve as a foundation for projecting demand for public services and entitlements. Rivlin and Weiner projected an 85 percent increase in real median income for "elderly families" between 1986 to 1990 and 2016 to 2020, and a 17 percent increase for families maintained by persons aged 85 and over. Family income is defined as joint income for married persons and individual income for unmarried persons. The Urban Institute also projected increases in real median family income. The income of married couples would increase by 57 percent between 1990 and 2010 and by 50 percent between 2010 and 2030. The income of unmarried men, beginning at a level 54 percent lower than for married couples, would increase by 51 percent and 55 percent in those periods, and the income of unmarried women, beginning at a level 61 percent lower than for married couples, would rise by 35 percent and 59 percent in those periods.
According to the Lewin/ICF series, in 1990, about 17 percent of the elderly living in the community (as opposed to nursing homes) had incomes less than 100 percent of the official poverty level, and about 48 percent had incomes less than 200 percent of the official poverty level (Table 15). Because of the assumptions of rising per capita income, these percentages are projected to drop sharply to 7 and 25 percent, respectively, by 2020. Since considerably more elderly who live alone live in poverty, compared to those who live with others, we will focus on persons aged 65 years and over who live alone and are poor. In 1990, the poor, defined for this purpose as having incomes under 125 percent of the official poverty level, constituted 40 percent of the elderly living alone but only 21 percent of the elderly living with others (Table 16). The poor comprised only 35 percent of those aged 65-74 living alone, but 49 percent of those aged 85 and over living alone. The poverty ratio was notably lower for whites than for Hispanics and "blacks and other races." The proportion of the poor among the white elderly living alone was 36 percent, among the Hispanic elderly living alone 65 percent, and among the black and other elderly living alone 69 percent. The poverty ratio for those living with others was far more favorable in all age and race categories, except ages 85 years and over. Because of the underlying economic assumptions, it is expected that the percentages of those living in poverty among the elderly living alone in 2020 will be well below those of 1990, by more than half in several categories.
