American household demographics constantly change. With kids grown and moved out, many adults are considering remodeling to meet their future needs. This has inspired the idea of aging in place, meaning the desire to have a high quality of life in your home as you get older. In the United States, it’s a desire shared b... |
According to the AARP, 87 percent of adults age 65 and older want to stay in their current home and community as they age. Furthermore, among people age 50 to 64, 71 percent of people want to age in place. The desire to age in place typically requires making thoughtful updates to a home to accommodate senior needs. |
Multigenerational households also are changing for older family members. Sometimes it’s necessary to have elderly relatives move in to your home for them to thrive. Adult children will opt to make remodeling updates so spaces are safe, comfortable and accessible for all. |
Whether you’re remodeling for yourself or a family member, there are many things to consider. Making changes where it matters most will help transform the household into a secure space for aging adults. |
Having all rooms on a single story is the ideal layout for senior living. That means the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen can be accessed without having to travel to different levels of the home. Keep in mind, open-concept designs can be beneficial for seniors, but if you are updating hallways, make sure they are at least... |
Adding a bathroom to facilitate single-story living might seem impossible if you don’t have existing drainage. However, it is feasible and doesn’t require costly demolition. With Saniflo, you can add a complete bathroom where no drainage existed before, thanks to above-floor plumbing features like a macerating toilet a... |
Bathrooms are one of the most dangerous rooms in a home, particularly for those age 65 and older who are more prone to falls. When remodeling, add wall supports such as grab bars in the bath, shower and by the toilet. For showers, a fold-down seat and handheld showerhead can add comfort. A wall-hung sink adds space bel... |
Redesigning your home with a mother-in-law suite for aging relatives can be a nice way to provide them with everything they need. It will also ensure that everyone has their desired privacy in the home. Again, don’t let drainage limit your remodel plans. Add a modest kitchen setup using Saniflo Sanivite technology. It ... |
There may be spaces in a home where you can’t avoid installing a ramp or stairs. The entryway is one such area. For stairways, install handrails on both sides and add contrast strips to prevent tripping and stumbling hazards. For ramps, the National Association of Home Builders recommends slopes no greater than a 1-inc... |
As vision decreases with age, lighting becomes a critical element throughout a home. Consider adding windows and skylights for plenty of natural light. Swap in brighter bulbs and add adjustable features that allow you to customize settings for frequently used spaces. Finally, add motion lights to hallways and bathrooms... |

LAS VEGAS — Saul “Canelo” Alvarez made a case for himself as boxing’s next star Saturday night, landing the bigger punches to take a unanimous decision over Miguel Cotto and win a piece of the middleweight title. |
Alvarez took the fight to Cotto from the opening bell, winning rounds with big right hands and uppercuts. Cotto tried to box and had his moments, but Alvarez was clearly ahead as the crowd stood on its feet as both fighters traded punches in the final rounds. |
Alvarez won the WBC version of the title that Cotto vacated days earlier for not paying sanctioning fees. His win set up a possible megafight with Gennady Golovkin, the middleweight champion who was watching at ringside. |
“With all due respect if he wants to fight right now I’ll put the gloves on and fight him,” Alvarez said. |
Alvarez won by scores of 117-11, 119-109 and 118-110. The Associated Press had him ahead 116-112. |
Alvarez, whose only loss came to Floyd Mayweather Jr., set the tone early, winging big left hooks in the first round that Cotto largely avoided. As the fight went on, though, he began landing more of his punches as he patiently stalked Cotto around the ring. |
Cotto boxed well at times and landed flurries of punches, but his didn’t seem to have nearly the same power as those thrown by Alvarez. In the final rounds, Alvarez caught Cotto with a series of punches that seemed to shake him some though he was never down and never appeared in real trouble. |
Though the fight was for a 160-pound title it was fought at a catch weight of 155 pounds. Alvarez weighed exactly that the day before the fight, but after rehydrating appeared much larger in the ring than did Cotto, who was 153 ¹/₂ pounds at the official weigh-in. |
Alvarez was a 3-1 favorite coming into the bout, largely because he is 10 years younger than Cotto and a bigger puncher. The ages didn’t seem to make a difference, but the ringside judges were surely influenced by the harder punches that the red-headed Alvarez landed. |
Cotto was credited with throwing 629 punches to 484 for Alvarez, but Alvarez landed 155 to 129 for Cotto. |
Cotto had vowed to pull the upset by using his boxing skills, and at times he was quite effective. But by the third round, Alvarez was landing some of the big punches he was winging at Cotto. |
Cotto expressed disappointment in the judges’ decision, but left the ring before speaking. |
“We thought it was much closer than the scorecards showed,” said Cotto’s trainer, Freddie Roach. |
The fight was the latest in the boxing rivalry between Mexico and Puerto Rico. Alvarez, from Mexico, was the clear favorite of the crowd at the Mandalay Bay casino. But Cotto was competitive and a lot of the early rounds were close. |
The action picked up in the eighth round, with both fighters trading punches. Again, Alvarez landed the harder shots, using his uppercut effectively and shaking Cotto with punches to the head. |
Torrisholme's James Cookson in action. Picture: Tony North. |
Torrisholme were beaten away at Thornton Cleveleys by 10 wickets on Saturday in the Palace Shield Premier Division. |
Torrisholme captain Daniel Woods won the toss and decided to put his side into bat first, but the visitors could only manage 114 all out. |
Opener Jack Heap (15) managed double figures but he was bowled by Jordan Beech (6-33), and the Thornton man also took the wickets of fellow-opener Aaron Tinker (0) and skipper Woods (0). |
Joseph Wills (1) was caught by Joshua Sackfield off Greg Tirrell (1-21), while Bryson Little (28) was Torrisholme’s top run scorer on the day before falling LBW to Daniel Howard(1-23). |
Beech struck again to remove Joel Stewart (0) with the help of Joshua Vincent but James Cookson (22) and Andy Butler (14) then tried to steady things for Torrisholme. |
However, Joshua Rolinson (1-5) bowled Cookson and Beech, with the help of Howard, took the wicket of Butler as Torrisholme struggled to record a competitive target. |
Rhaul Gupta managed a knock of eight before being caught by Sackfield off Beech and when Mark Cottam (0) was run out Torrisholme were all out for 114 from 35.5 overs. |
Ben Pye was the only Torrisholme batsmen to remain unbeaten at the crease, finishing on four not out, while Jake Apperley was the only Thornton bowler not to take a wicket, finishing with figures of 0-21. Thornton reached their target with ease and without even losing a single wicket. |
Joshua Vincent (36 not out) and Jon Eade (64 not out) helped the home team ease to victory in just 15 overs, with 15 of Thornton’s 115 runs coming via extras. |
Six Torrisholme bowlers tried but failed to make a dent in the Thornton order – Rhaul Gupta (0-21), Jack Heap (0-18), James Cookson )0-19), Daniel Woods (0-22), Joel Stewart (0-21) and Joseph Wills 0-13). |

JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST (voice-over): Finland face-off. President Trump heads to Helsinki to sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin. |
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We may come out with something very exceptional. |
TAPPER: With the eyes of the world on the summit, will it be a meeting of friends or foes? We're here live in Helsinki. |
Plus, bombshell indictments. The special counsel charges 12 Russian military intelligence officers for hacking Democrats in 2016. |
TAPPER: President Trump blames Obama for letting it happen, but will he also blame Putin? |
TRUMP: I don't think you'll have any, gee, I did it, I did it, you got me. |
TAPPER: Top intelligence committee Democrat, Senator Mark Warner will join us next. |
And Diplomatic disruption. President Trump stirs up trouble in Britain. And muscles more money out of NATO partners. |
TRUMP: Do you think Putin is happy about that? I don't think so. |
But will the president stand up to Russia? We'll ask Republican Rand Paul of Kentucky, next. |
TAPPER: We are live from Helsinki, Finland, and you're watching a special edition of STATE OF THE UNION. I am Jake Tapper. |
Right now President Trump is on his way here. He took off about an hour ago from Scotland. Behind me you can see Finland's presidential palace. That's the site of tomorrow's summit between presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The stakes for this one on one summit rose dramatically on Friday after the special cou... |
TRUMP: I think we have a lot foes. I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now you wouldn't think of the European Union but they're a foe. |
Russia is a foe in certain respects. China is a foe economically, certainly they're a foe. |
But that doesn't mean they're bad. It doesn't mean anything. |
TAPPER: Just moments ago the president of the European Union directly responding to President Trump said -- quote -- "America and the E.U. are best friends. Whoever says we are foes is spreading fake news." |
As we speak Air Force One is headed here to Helsinki. CNN's senior White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny joins me now. |
Jeff, what do we know about the president's goals as he heads into the summit? |
JEFF ZELENY, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: Jake, because of the fact that the summit -- I mean, it is a major deal, of course, the third time he's meeting Vladimir Putin, but despite all of the high intensity we know very little actually about this jaded goals. |
White House officials have been extraordinarily tight lipped about what the agenda is. We still do not know if the president will be meeting alone with Vladimir Putin or if he'll have aides and others in with him. |
But we do know the president wants to talk about Syria of course. He wants to talk about nuclear weapons, nuclear engagement. |
And, of course, Jake, despite what he hopes would be the agenda those indictments as you said on Friday hang over this summit. There is no question that the Russian meddling investigation is going to be front and center in this. |
Will the president confront Vladimir Putin? Knowing everything we know there are no signs that he will confront Vladimir Putin. We have not seen an indication of that but that certainly will loom larger. Now after the president really spent the last week or so insulting allies and embarrassing them in some degrees he i... |
But the agenda shockingly less than 24 hours before the summit is still not finalized or certainly set in ink, Jake. |
TAPPER: All right. Jeff Zeleny, thanks so much. |
I would like to note that we invited the White House to join us this morning to offer their perspective on this historic summit. The White House confirmed that we would be able to interview their national security adviser, Ambassador John Bolton. We arranged our show and our schedules and our crews and trucks according... |
And then the White House cancelled the interview for -- quote -- "bad behavior." What was the - quote -- "disrespect" that the White House took issue with? Well, nine minutes after President Trump attacks CNN unprompted during a press conference in the U.K. our correspondent tried to ask the president a question. Take ... |
TRUMP: John Roberts -- go ahead, John. |
JIM ACOSTA, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Can I ask you a question, sir, since you attacked CNN? |
TRUMP: CNN is fake news. |
ACOSTA: Well, sir, if you call us fake new, can you take a question? |
TRUMP: I don't take questions from CNN. CNN is fake new. I don't take questions from CNN. |
ACOSTA: If you continue to attack us, we should be able to ask you a question. |
TRUMP: Let's go to a real network. John, let's go. |
ACOSTA: Well, we're a real network, too, sir. |
TAPPER: We are told that Ambassador Bolton was prepared to do the interview and we invite him to join us at any time. |
I want to bring in now Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia. He's the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. |
He joins us now live. |
WARNER: Well, Jake, let me just make clear, I'm not -- I'm not afraid to come on CNN. |
So, even if the White House doesn't want to send someone, I'm happy to be on your show. |
TAPPER: We appreciate it, sir. |
I want to play for you what President Trump said this morning about those 12 Russian military officials who were indicted. Let's take a listen. |
TRUMP: This was during the Obama administration. They were doing whatever it was during the Obama administration. |
