Video: Tim Wakefield Announces Retirement From Baseball
2012-02-17 22:49:00 The man who knuckled his way into our hearts, Tim Wakefield, announced his retirement from baseball after spending 19 years in the big leagues including the final 17 of his career with the Boston Red Sox. Wakefield said during his press conference that he actually had decided to retire on Monday and hadn't slept all week. It's almost a sure thing but as much as he'll be missed on the field, he'll be missed just as much for all the work he does for charities in the Boston area. He said during the presser that he had been offered jobs by the Red Sox Foundation and The Jimmy Fund but hadn't decided what to do. Something tells me once the dust settles from the retirement announcement, he'll stay involved with one or both of those charities. He also stated no matter what that he'll continue to do charity work. Folks, that's what made Wakefield great. For as good as man as he was on the field, he was an even much better man off of it. And for some, that's how he'll be remembere...

Should You Buy Your Retirement Home Now?
2011-12-16 06:00:00 According to the Mercury News, there are 3 ways to use financing to buy that retirement home. As an owner-occupied home, a second home or as an investment. It certainly might make sense to buy now, if your retirement is 5 to 10 years away. That's because not much will change between now and then, except prices will eventually rise and so will interest rates. Interest rates dropped last week below 4%. In many areas of the country, prices are bouncing around the bottom and are at a historic low. I'm still trying to buy a vacation home on the beach. Just a small home on the ocean somewhere from central to northern California. That is one area of the country that is not really depressed. It's hard to find an affordable home on the ocean. But it's still an excellent time to buy a retirement home.

Naaaaaw...say it ain't so: For nearly a decade, Ms. Schultz and her colleagues have been rooting through the minutiae of accounting regulations, government filings and corporate retirement plans to expose how many of the largest American companies have systematically plundered their employees pension funds, at once robbing their workers of hard-won benefits and enriching their own profits. Her work has led to Congressional hearings, to a Washington investigation or two and to numerous journalism awards. Now, inevitably, comes the book. In "Retirement Heist: How Companies Plunder and Profit From the Nest Eggs of American Workers." Ms. Schultz herds all her journalistic cattle into a single corral, laying out by what any measure is a damning indictment of the broken pension promises too many American corporations have made to their workers.

Retirement Should Be Retired
2011-03-21 09:00:00 I love technology. I love science and engineering and all the beautiful things they've created from maps of our genes to particle accelerators to indoor plumbing and cable tv. When I think of the 76 billion people who have made their way through this world then consider how amazing it is to live in such a time it kind of scares me but what really scares me is how our technology and our abilities tend to outstrip our wisdom. We haven't quite figured out how we fit into this society we've created. I've written about the new phenomenon of adolescence but as I've watched the fury of the political standoff between unions and bankrupt state governments it's occurred to me that my logic didn't go far enough--that while the 20th century created the extended childhood of the teen years it simultaneously created the other complimentary freak of nature: retirement. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that there is very little difference between adolescence and retirement.&nb...

The biggest moment in his career at Old Trafford was when he saved the final penalty of the 2008 Champions League final in Moscow, which won the cup for United. Speaking to MUTV, Van Der Sar said: ?It?s been coming for a while,? ?After playing for so many years, you reach a point where you have to make a decision. ?There are a couple of things to consider ? whether you still have an appetite for it, your family. You have to look at yourself also. You have to ask if you can bring that top level of performance that you need at United.
