...should max out on any tax-deferred savings opportunity. This has been especially true since Congress two years ago rolled back a punishing 15% excise tax on withdrawals from retirement accounts deemed, through a complicated formula, to be too large. Be careful, though, if your tax bracket will rise in retirement. Withdrawals from tax-deferred accounts get taxed as income. If you'll be retiring soon, new contributions might not have enough time to grow tax-deferred. You might be better served putting new savings into a tax-efficient mutual fund, like an index fund.

...wound will kill him if he can't solve the mystery of his curse. He meets Eboshi (Minnie Driver), ruler of Iron Town, and her fiercest foe, San (Claire Danes), or Mononoke, which means spirit.

...simple to say that art ever after has followed trancelike in the acid-green aura of the Warhol Effect.

Episode one begins with the boys' auditioning and by the end of the season, ABC is betting that we'll have a weekly behind-the-scenes look at the newest pop culture phenomenon. It gets...
...That Monty Norman's classic tune can be straightforward enough to instantly stick in one's head yet sophisticated enough to instantly trigger one's imagination is a minor miracle, not to be overlooked. It calls for a precise interplay of uncomplicated but carefully wrought elements: the tensely chromatic rise and fall of the bass, the edgy twang of crafty appoggiaturas, wailing brass punctuation in all the right places. It's just so. What the music doesn't need is a techno beat underneath...
