Help elderly loved ones avoid financial abuse It's unfortunate, but true: The elderly population may be the most vulnerable group in our society. In fact, in an effort to call attention to the problems of physical, emotional and financial abuse of the elderly, the United Nations has designated June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. If you have older parents, or even grandparents, can you do to anything to help prevent them from being victimized, especially with regard to their finances? Actually, there's a lot you can do. First and foremost, you need to maintain good communications and a trusting relationship with your older family members. As long as these elements are present, you should feel free to make the following suggestions: • Increase awareness — When it comes to financial fraud and scams, many seniors think: "It can't happen to me." But the facts suggest otherwise: Some 20 percent of Americans over the age of 65 admit to having been victimized by financial swindles, according to a survey by the nonprofit Investor Protection Trust. Let your loved ones know that no one in their age group is immune to financial predators. • Guard private information — Ask your parents or grandparents to not divulge personal information over the phone. In fact, urge them to get caller ID, if they don't have it already, and tell them that if they don't recognize the number, don't answer. Legitimate callers are more likely to leave messages than scammers. • Don't send money.

Penney's new home department is like Technicolor Oz plunked down in black-and-white Kansas. Dreamed up by Ron Johnson - the former Apple retail wizard ousted in April as chief executive officer the new housewares emporium features vibrant colors, wood fixtures and other modern flourishes. The rest of the century-old department-store chain? Not so much. The dichotomy is a challenge for CEO Myron Ullman: Johnson's vision is too far along to abandon, yet J.C. Penney is consuming cash faster than any other U.S. brick-and-mortar retailer. So Ullman, 66, has opted for what might be described as Johnson Lite as he sets about renovating the two-thirds of store space left untouched during Johnson's 17-month tenure. Rather than a mini-mall of 100 branded shops, Ullman is testing scaled-down versions of the concept, including one selling Haggar and Dockers khakis that looks nothing like Johnson's proposed Khaki Bar. If it works, Ullman will do the same with additional national and house brands.
