Yao makes it official, retires from basketball - Rockets center announces decision at news conference in Shanghai.  With the door to the NBA that swung open nine years ago closed to him, Yao Ming on Wednesday chose “a new life.”  Yao announced his retirement in a ceremony and news conference in Shanghai, citing the repeated injuries to his left foot and ankle.  “At the end of the last year, my left foot had a third fracture,” Yao said. “Today, I need to make a personal decision. I will stop my basketball career and I will formally retire. Today, thinking back and thinking of the future, I have been very grateful. First of all, I need to be grateful to basketball. It has brought happiness to many people including myself.  “Life is my guide. Just follow it and it will open doors. Out of each door, there will be beautiful world outside. Since I am retired, one door is closed. But a new life is waiting for me. I have left the basketball (court), but I will not leave basketball.”  He also will not leave Houston, and sent a message to his “second hometown.”  "I’d like to thank you for giving me a great nine years in my career,” Yao said. “Nine years ago, I came to Houston as a young, tall, skinny player. An entire city and team changed me to a grown man, not only as a basketball player. I gained my first daughter over there. I feel I’m a Houstonian and I will always be with you.”  Yao thanked former national team teammates including his longtime friend Liu Wei and former Bucks and Wizards player Yi Jianlian, and former Rockets teammates Chuck Hayes, Kyle Lowry, Aaron Brooks and Luis Scola, and said there are many others to thank.   READ MORE Mavs Open Season vs Bulls, If Season Opens On Time - The NBA champion Dallas Mavericks will open the season, if it begins on time, at home on Nov. 1 against MVP Derrick Rose and Chicago, then host Miami in a finals rematch Christmas Day.  The NBA released its complete 2011-12 schedule Tuesday despite being in a lockout that could last months and cause it to be scrapped.  Owners and players are still well apart in negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement to replace the one that expired June 30, and there is a fear that regular-season games could be lost to a work stoppage for the second time in league history.

Minimum Liability Facts

California law requires that an insured party be responsible for injury or damages if he is found at fault in an accident. This is called the "Tort" system. For this reason, it's very important that you have adequate liability coverage. Los Angeles, California residents are required to have Bodily Injury (BI) liability insurance of at least ,000 (per person) and ,000 (per accident). Property Damage (PD) liability must be at least ,000 per accident. If you are part of the California Automobile Assigned Risk Plan, the requirements are ,000/,000/,000.

Los Angeles residents are not required to purchase a coverage called Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury; however, this type of insurance is recommended because it covers expenses if you have an accident with someone that has no insurance or inadequate coverage. Keep in mind that the minimum requirement in California covers mainly the basic necessities if you are at fault in an accident. It might not cover all the expenses, so you should consider purchasing more coverage than what's required...especially if you want to protect your savings and personal assets.
