...discussed issues, including poor performance and what is known as leakage. The average 401(k) plan's equity holdings are concentrated in large-cap companies, so their returns track the S&P 500, which has dropped 44% from its peak. Over the long run, experts say, 401(k) returns lag behind professionally managed pension funds by 1 to 2 percentage points a year.

They also borrow roughly from Japanese anime master Hayao Miyazaki, who in My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service plopped adorable kids into magical situations. (In tribute, the film has Nani open a business called Kiki's Coffee House.) But after a lag in the early sister scenes, Lilo reveals its own very American verve and wit, along with a smart story sense that marks the best animated features, traditional or computerized. When Stitch makes his appearance in a Vegas-Elvis silver sequined outfit, the 'plexes should erupt in delighted laughter...
Though Yale may appear to lag behind Harvard on paper, the Crimson rowers still eagerly await the Harvard-Yale regatta regardless of teams’ relative standing. The lack of interaction between the two teams as they both train at Red Top—at different times—adds to the event’s mystique...
