RedPrairie could anchor proposed Park East tower
A prime site in the Park East freeway corridor in downtown Milwaukee is being pitched as a potential site for RedPrairie Corp.s new corporate headquarters, according to commercial real estate sources. RedPrairie is based in the Town of Brookfield, but company leader John Jazwiec has said the firm may relocate its headquarters. Although Milwaukee officials have courted him to move his company downtown, Jazwiec has been critical about Wisconsins business climate and has said the company may move out of state. Real estate sources told SBT that RedPrairie has been approached to move its headquarters to a Park East corridor site at the northwest corner of North Water Street and East Knapp Street that would be developed by Brookfield-based MLG Commercial Inc., which acknowledged that it is planning a much larger development for the site than the company had indicated it was working on a year ago.
Student's life memorialized at West Salem
About now, the bright and cheerful West Salem High School student would have been getting ready for basketball season, planning her 18th birthday party and preparing college applications.
Friends and family still struggle with each new reminder that Sam is gone.
"All the things that a parent looks to in the future have just vanished," said her father, Eddie Hopper. "Senior year, graduation, college. It's torture."
Hopper died May 1 in a car crash as she and her date traveled to West Salem's prom, which was being held in Independence.
On Friday, about 100 people gathered at the high school to dedicate a memorial in Samantha's honor.
In a sheltered spot near the gym, they planted trees that were donated by family members and the Hoppers' church and unveiled an engraved granite bench that was donated by Restlawn Funeral Home.
Prepare Your Finances For Living To 100
According to the Office of National Statistics, men living in the local authority of Kensington and Chelsea can expect to live to a robust 82.2 years, whereas men living in Glasgow City will boom-and-bust at age 69.9. Women in Glasgow defy their smoke-filled lungs for several more years and survive till 76.7. But the women of Kensington and Chelsea laugh at death. Young ladies there can now expect to survive to 86.2. From a financial perspective, these women are terrifying. Should we all start living as long as this, it'll mean we'll need much larger retirement pots. If we fail to save more, it may put an impossible bill on younger generations. In terms of retirement, these life expectancy figures of 69.9 to 86.2 are too low. The average life expectancy is pulled down by all sorts of nasties that kill people off early.
Retirement industry heads to Olympia
Legislation aimed at providing guardianship protection and protection from unqualified individuals selling living trusts, as well as the biennial battle to procure more money for health-care providers, top the retirement-related agenda at the Washington Legislatures 2007 session. Richard Sayre, a principal in the law firm of Sayre & Sayre PS, of Spokane, says a proposal to form a state-run public guardianship program, similar to such programs in many other states, would benefit senior citizens who need, but cant afford, a guardian, and also would save money for the state. Guardians often are employed to help the elderly take care of their health and financial affairs. With the program we have now, the court appoints a guardian for elderly individuals who have no children around and no money to pay for a guardian, says Sayre, whos a trustee for the elder-care section of the Washington State Bar Association.
