Red Sox notebook: Justin Turner soaking in the full Boston experience

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:36 GMT

It’s not hard to see why Justin Turner felt an immediate connection to the song.“I think I’ll go to Boston. I think I’ll start a new life. I think I’ll start it over, where no one knows my name.”That’s the chorus to Augustana’s 2005 song “Boston,” which the new Red Sox infielder has used as his walk-up song ever since making his debut with the team. Prior to his signing, the 38-year-old spent nine years with the Los Angeles Dodgers and expected to finish his career there, but now he’s embracing his unexpected new chapter and finding himself right at home.“It is pretty fitting for the situation,” Turner said.Turner said the song choice has gotten mixed reviews from his friends and teammates — it’s a lot more subdued than his old walk-up song, “Turn Down For What” — but so far he’s loving the experience of playing in Boston. This weekend was particularly special, between the remembran...

How to protect your parents from financial scams

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:36 GMT

When a scam artist called Cameron Huddleston’s mom to tell her to wire money in order to claim a prize, Huddleston had to intercept the calls. Her mom, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, was convinced she had to wire the money as soon as possible.“That was a wake-up call for me. If you have any cognitive decline, you don’t see those red flags anymore,” says Huddleston, who lives in Kentucky and is the director of education at Carefull, a service built to protect aging adults’ daily finances. She also wrote the book “Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk,” on how to have important conversations about money with your parents.Scam artists often target older adults, partly because they have amassed greater wealth. “If you are thinking from a criminal’s perspective, which target will give you the greatest returns: a broke 20-something who is struggling with student loans or a baby boomer with a couple million dollars of retirement assets?” asks Marti DeLiema, assistant professor of so...

Supreme Court to deliver answer in religious mailman’s case

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:36 GMT

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — Gerald Groff liked his work as a postal employee in Pennsylvania’s Amish Country. For years, he delivered mail and all manner of packages: a car bumper, a mini refrigerator, a 70-pound box of horseshoes for a blacksmith. But when an Amazon.com contract with the Postal Service required carriers to start delivering packages on Sundays, Groff balked. A Christian, he told his employers that he couldn’t deliver packages on the Lord’s Day.Now Groff’s dispute with the Post Office has reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which will consider his case Tuesday. Lower courts have sided with the Post Office, which says Groff’s demand for Sundays off meant extra work for other employees and caused tension. Groff, for his part, argues employers can too easily reject employees’ requests for religious accommodations, and if he wins, that could change.“We really can’t go back and change what happened to me,” said Groff, who ultimately quit his job ...
