As Baby Boomers prepare to retire, it’s possible that more than half of the existing construction workforce will retire by 2012.

IRVING – The Cowboys picked a terrible time to allow their first punt return for a touchdown this season.
Domenik Hixon’s 79-yard TD gave the Giants a commanding 14-point lead with 5:33 left in Sunday’s 31-24 loss to New York.
Dallas special-team coach Joe DeCamillis said Monday there was plenty of blame to go around.
