The book, currently untitled, will be co-authored by Sports Illustrated’s Tom Verducci and will include Torre’s memories of the Yankees, with whom he won four World Series championships, and general thoughts on the game. Doubleday, 섯다사이트 an imprint of Random House Inc., will publish the book in the spring of 2009. “Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees,” Torre said in a statement issued Thursday by Doubleday. “It was a wonderful 12 years and I look forward to sharing my thoughts and perspective on how the game has evolved.” According to Doubleday, Torre will explain his “decision to walk way from the job of manager of the Yankees, but only as the endgame in explaining in unprecedented detail what history will record as the `Torre Era.”‘ Torre signed a three-year, $13 million contract to manage the Dodgers last Thursday, exactly two weeks after walking away from the New York Yankees when they offered a one-year contract worth $5 million plus $3 million in performance bonuses he termed “an insult.” The Yankees were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs this fall and haven’t won a World Series since 2000. Torre completed a three-year, $19.2 million contract with the Yankees this year. Financial terms of Torre’s book were not disclosed. The biggest sports book deal in recent memory was for tennis great Andre Agassi,...

Stewart first cracked this joke last week on “The Daily Show.” Just after 11 p.m. on Wednesday, he’s telling it again. This does not bode well for night owls. The Comedy Central rerun is an instant effect of the writers strike that left every major late-night show without its snarky scribes. If history is any indication, this walk-off could last a loooong time: Hollywood writers previously went on strike, in 1988, for 22 weeks. How will late-night TV watchers make it through a potentially months-long spell without fresh offerings from Stewart, David Letterman, Jay Leno – and, if they stay up REALLY late, Conan O’Brien? 2There’s hope yet: A little late-night channel-surfing (away from the networks) turned up a few post-local news shows that offer more humor – intentional or not – than one might think. ABC’s “Nightline”: The trusty program, which goes up against Leno and Letterman, is likely thanking its lucky stars for the strike, which could generate viewers for its hard-hitting news segments. Or it’s not-so-serious stories (Exhibit A: Wednesday’s Ryan Seacrest profile). “I get lonely, but there are four of me. And so I spend time with the rest of mes and we talk about our day,” Seacrest, who has about 35 jobs, says of his nonstop work schedule. The “American Idol” host adds, for the record, that he’s not gay. CNBC’s “Mad Money”: Motormouth...

Older adults who look after their grandchildren might also be doing themselves a favor. New research suggests that it could be linked to a longer life for the caregivers. The study, published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, found that grandparents who helped care for their grandchildren lived an average of five years longer than those who did not. The international group of researchers also found a similar effect among seniors without grandchildren who cared for kids outside their own family or provided assistance to people in other ways. Older childless adults who provided childcare lived an average of three years longer. Study author Ralph Hertwig, director of the Center for Adaptive Rationality at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, notes that the benefits grandchildren receive from being cared for by their grandparents is well established — but there’s been less research on the other side of the equation, what it means for the grandparents. He points to a 2009 U.S. Census Bureau report that found 2.5 million grandparents were responsible for most of the basic needs of one or 카지노톡 more grandchildren who lived in their household. Similarly, according to a 2009 study of more than 35,000 Europeans, 58 percent of grandmothers and 49 percent of grandfathers reported providing some care for their grandchild over the course of a year. “Now, rather than only focusing...
