| | Retiring to Bangkok Thailand | | 2008-07-14 12:41:06 | | Recently I was asked to discuss retiring in Thailand and this is the first in a series of posts answering the first question I identified – “Where will you live”. I decided to break the answer up into individual posts for each city I plan on covering rather than overwhelm everyone with a 2500 word [...] | | By: Thailand Musings | | |

| Google is retiring AdSense Referrals | | 2008-07-01 04:10:23 | | Today, I got an email from adsense-noreply@google.com with the subject “We are retiring AdSense Referrals”. It says that during the last week of August, the AdSense referrals feature will be retired for both AdWords advertiser products and Google products.

| | Adsense Referral Retiring to Give Room for Google Affiliate Network | | 2008-07-01 02:26:33 | | It is a sad news actually as many big publishers have been making a lot of money from their downline users through referral link provided by Google. However, this changes would lead to a big change to their monthly earning and I am sure it will be lower than the months before August 2008.
Here is the official announcement posted in the Google Adsense blog today:
We're constantly looking for ways to improve AdSense by developing and supporting features which drive the best monetization results for our publishers. Sometimes, this requires retiring existing features so we can focus our efforts on the ones that will be most effective in the long term. For this reason, we will be retiring the AdSense Referrals program during the last week of August. We appreciate your patience during this transition and here are some alternative options to consider:

Google is going to be discontinuing the AdSense referral program in the last week of August ‘08. Instead of this, they will adopt the “DoubleClick Performics Affiliate Network” as a replacement.

| | Nine Toyota execs in the U.S. retiring, or are they? | | 2008-03-05 21:03:50 | | Filed under: Hirings/Firings, Toyota
With Toyota reporting its daily average sales rate fell 6.6 percent last month, it might be easy to think the retirement of nine U.S. executives is a sign that the company is getting ready for a new start. But at least one analyst thinks something else might be happening. Head hunting.

| | Brett Favre Retiring From The NFL | | 2008-03-04 08:38:02 | | Fox Sports' Jay Glazer is reporting, and Buzz Cook, Favre's agent has confirmed, that Brett Favre has told Packer's Head Coach Mike McCarthy he is retiring. Favre is apparently upset that the Pack was unable to get Randy Moss, and this decision was, in no doubt, affected by Green Bay's lack-luster attempt to obtain Moss, this year or last off-season. This is typical Brett Favre. Selfish. Yea, he'll go down with all those records, but I'll remember Favre's last pass, an interception, and his "I am taking my ball and going home" attitude he is expressing in quitting now. At least Packers fans can take heart that Favre can not hold the franchise hostage. The best comes from JSOnline -- Quarterback Brett Favre told Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy Monday night that he was going to retire. But his agent, James (Bus) Cook, told the Journal Sentinel this morning that he believes Favre wants to play another year and didn't get the sense that the Packers wanted him back all | | By: Mile High Report | | |
| | Warren Sapp Retiring | | 2008-01-02 14:27:00 | | The NFL Network has reported that Warren Sapp has told teammates he intends to retire from the NFL. That makes the 2nd former Cane to retire in the past week. Sapp, like Testaverde, began his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he enjoyed a far more successful career, including a Super Bowl victory in the 2002 season.Sapp finishes his illustrious career with 573 tackles and just shy of 100 sacks. Having been named to 8 Pro Bowls and having won one defensive player of the year award, Warren is a strong candidate to get into Canton. Probably not in the first ballot, as the 100 sack mark is a nice round number that would have given him a stronger resume. But there's no doubt in my mind that eventually he will join several of his fellow Canes in the Hall of Fame.Warren's NFL career modeled that of his college career at UM. There, he dominated opposing linemen enough to warrant an All-American selection as well as being selected early in the first round of the 1995 draft. Becau | | By: State of Miami | | |
| | Retiring Numbers | | 2007-12-20 18:46:00 | | Last night's injury to Alonzo Mourning probably spells the end of his career. In all likelihood, Zo's #33 will be hung from the rafters at the AAA as the first Heat player to have his jersey retired by the franchise. Many of you may know that he won't be the first NBA player to have his jersey retired by the Heat, as Michael Jordan owns that distinction.My question is, after Alonzo's number is retired for good, what next for the Miami Heat? Is there anyone on this roster who will have that same opportunity? I believe franchises build their image through consistent rosters of good players who stick around for several years. Miami has been unfortunate in that most of the players we've celebrated around here haven't stayed very long. Rice, Smith, Caron, Odom, etc.Shaquille O'Neal only has 3 years left on his contract and likely his career. Barring some major injury or a trade that we just can't turn down, he will have finished his last 6 years of his career with the Miami Heat. Co | | By: State of Miami | | |
| | Retiring Outside America | | 2007-10-15 14:25:13 | | By Lisa Bonos The Washington Post (Oct 14, 2004)Mary Strociek, 49, and her husband, Matt, 67, had their hearts set on retiring to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They bought a condo there in the late 1980s "when it was a quiet, sleepy village," Mary Strociek said.But then others discovered the beauty of the area and the place boomed. "We decided to get out of there," Mary said.Avid sailors, the couple hopped on a friend's 50-foot boat and cruised the Caribbean. They checked out all of the Virgin Islands, St. Martin and St. Bart, and yet were drawn back to Mexico.Then they discovered Panama. The Strocieks were overwhelmed by the breathtaking sights."It's one of the few places I can see the curvature of the Earth," Mary Strociek said of the view from her property, which she says looks out on nearly 300 miles of coastline.Won over, the Strocieks sold their Chicago home and built a house near the mountain town of El Valle, where they now live, she explained in a phone interview from her pool.Two years ago, it cost the couple about $150,000 to buy their land and build a house, pool and bohio — a type of tropical gazebo. They live debt-free and enjoy the perk of a newly built Panamanian abode: no property tax for 20 years.The Strocieks are among many Americans who have retired to Panama.The Migration Policy Institute, a Washington, D.C., think tank, said last year the number of U.S. citizens receiving the kind of Panamanian visas most often used by retirees more than tripled between 2003 and 2005.The number issued in the first quarter of 2006 almost equaled those in all of 2003, said the report, which cited Panamanian statistics.The institute found in focus groups with U.S. seniors in Mexico and Panama that the lower cost of living was among the most attractive features. The natural beauty and a sense of community also ranked high."People felt like they had more interaction with people in their daily life than in the U.S," said Julia Gelatt, a research assistant who worked on | | By: Tropiland Panama Blog: Your Panama Real Estate Sou | | |
| | MSN On Retiring In Panama: "Best Place For Retirees" | | 2007-08-08 14:21:09 | | Source: MSN Money, Aug 7, 2007Panama is one of the best places in the world for retirees today, combining a low cost of living, near-perfect weather and one of the world's best discount programs for retirees, with up to 50% off everything from public transport to movies, mortgage rates, doctor's visits, electricity, restaurants and airfares.When you compare Panama with its neighbors, you'll see that it has more amenities than traditional retirement spots such as Mexico and Costa Rica, with lower costs and crime rates. In Panama, you'll encounter less red tape and less interference from local authorities.To encourage long-term foreign investment, Panama requires no special authorizations, permits or prior registration for foreign investors. The Investment Stability Law, passed in 1998, protects foreign investors from any change in tax, customs, municipal and labor rules for a period of 10 years after an investment is registered. Major companies doing business in Panama include Federal Express, DHL, Sears, Price Costco, BellSouth, Kansas City Southern Railways, Continental and American Airlines, Warranty Company of the Americas and Hutchison Whampoa. Plus, you'll find just about every American franchise you can imagine on the streets of Panama City.And there are other incentives for foreigners to spend time here, invest here … or retire here.

| | Strahan retiring? Thanks a lot, Michael! | | 2007-07-27 22:13:06 | | Forget that stuff I posted earlier about Michael Strahan wanting more money. According to the Star-Ledger, Strahan may retire. GM Jerry Reese confirmed that to the Star-Ledger's Mike Garafolo. "Last night, I talked to his agent (Tony Agnone) and his agent said to me -- this was about seven o'clock -- (Strahan) was contemplating retiring," Reese said. "That's all I know right now. We haven't spoken to him. We'll get more details about it. We'll put him on reserve/did not report to camp." This is not good news. Thanks a lot, Michael, for making a decision at a time when the Giants are screwed now in terms of structuring their defense if you decide not to play. I know Strahan is not the dominant force he used to be, but the Giants were/are still counting on No. 92 lining up at left end. I'm sure Reese would have left Mathias Kiwanuka at defensive end and more aggressively pursued linebacker help if Strahan had given any indication this might be coming.

| | Senate Watch: Is Chuck Hagel Retiring? | | 2007-04-19 17:57:00 | | The Hotline is reporting that Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel should prepare for a primary challenge, should he opt to run for re-election. Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning, who had previously stated that he intended to run for the seat if Hagel retired or ran for president, now says he is in the race regardless of Hagel's decision.Bruning cites Hagel's recent vote in support of a troop withdrawal deadline and comments about the possible impeachment of President Bush as evidence that he is moving away from the values of Nebraska Republicans. "Given Sen. Hagel’s vote and public comments, I have to seriously consider running for this seat regardless of what Sen. Hagel does," Bruning stated.Hagel disappointed supporters and politicos with a bizarre announcement that he would not discuss his future plans until later in the year. Most had believed that Hagel would use the press conference to announce his bid for the presidency. It has since been revealed that Hagel said when he first | | By: Political Realm | | |
