This is no time to duck the stock market; you would miss the inevitable recovery. Rebalance your portfolio to create your desired mix of stocks, bonds and cash (60%-30%-10% is reasonably conservative). Lean more heavily toward stocks if you're under age 55. Don't pile into a traditional IRA, because these accounts require withdrawals starting at age 70 1/2. "That defeats the purpose of working longer to keep your capital invested and could throw you into a higher tax bracket," says Ed Slott, author of The Retirement Savings Timebomb and How to Defuse It.

Hendricks will have a bone chip removed from his knee, and should be healthy for summer ball in Brewster of the Cape Cod League, set to start a week after NCAA Regionals would occur in early June...
...pretend for a moment that the military should have done more to protect Iraqi artifacts, the furor over the looting is quite disturbing in itself. Let’s be honest here. The outrage over lost artwork is based on the wicked premise that future generations will miss these artifacts much more than they’ll miss the thousands of people who died—or could have died—in this war. After all, there is only one Harp of Ur, but ordinary Iraqis and Americans are replaceable...
