It's never too early to start planning for retirement. With this in mind, we asked The Experts: What retirement money tip do you wish you'd given yourself when you were 30?
Investment tips nobody told me
William Reichenstein: If you have not already begun saving, begin saving now! Adhere to the adage: Pay yourself first! Moreover, every time you get a salary increase, have some of that increase go toward more savings until you have maxed out your eligible contribution to your 401(k) or other savings vehicle. If the Roth IRA, Roth 401(k), and Roth 403(b) were available when I was 30, I would have encouraged a careful consideration between saving in say the 401(k) or the Roth 401(k).
Furthermore, I wish someone would have told me to maintain a heavy stock allocation — probably at least 90% until my early 40s — with perhaps 30% of the stock portion in international stocks.

For a typical 64-year-old planning to retire in one year, target retirement date funds suggest a stock allocation of at least 50%. Finally, I wish someone would have encouraged me to pay careful attention to mutual-fund expense ratios. If available then, I should have invested in low-cost index funds.
William Reichenstein is the Powers Professor at Baylor University and head of research at Socialsecuritysolutions.com.
What I wish I had known about stocks when I was younger
William Bernstein: The riskiness of stocks is dependent on where in an investor's life cycle they are; they're the least risky early on, since large price falls are actually beneficial to those with ongoing savings, and the most risky in retirement, when the losses can't be made up with further saving. I wish I had realized this when I was young.
William Bernstein is a neurologist and co-founder of Efficient Frontier Advisors, an investment management firm.
Look before you leap into these investments
Bud Hebeler: I wish I had known about the bookkeeping burdens for investments like real estate and partnerships as well as the difficulties of getting out of the investments. I've had more than my share of these difficulties, but the worst I've seen is an elderly friend who tried to sell a real-estate partnership so a survivor would not have the same obligations. He couldn't find a buyer, so he went to several charities. Only one of these would take ownership — only with the condition that it was appraised. Appraisal of a real-estate partnership with several properties in several states is very costly. So he effectively had to pay to give it away, since the charitable deduction on his tax return was less than the cost of the appraisal.
Henry "Bud" Hebeler was president of the aerospace division of Boeing Co. He has served on the board of MIT's Sloan School and currently focuses on the dissemination of free, sound financial planning on Analyzenow.com. He also is a contributor to MarketWatch's Retirementor section.
The one word I'd like to tell my younger self
Maddy Dychtwald: How many of you remember seeing the movie "The Graduate" starring Dustin Hoffman? It not only made him a huge star, playing Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate who wasn't sure what to do with his future, but it introduced a few memorable lines, including, with some paraphrasing: "One word: plastics. The future is in plastics."
Those might have been wise words back in the day, but not so much anymore. If I were to provide my younger self with the secret to a successful future, it would be "Longevity. Be prepared to live a long life." And one of the best strategies to living a long life successfully can be summed up in one word: "Compounding." In order to live a long life, it's going to take money. A lot of money. The secret weapon to getting there is to take advantage of compounding.
Think about it. We're the first humans who will live to 80, 90, and even 100. If we knew this in advance, we'd quickly realize that this requires some long-term planning. We'll need to figure out how to maintain our health and vitality, how to reinvent ourselves at work and at play, how to get back up when we get knocked down, and how to pay for all this and more.
Money isn't everything, but it can oil the wheel so we have more opportunities and choices in how we live our long life. And so, here's what I would say to my 30-year-old self:

Contingency Management for Methamphetamine Abstinence and HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis in Men Who Have Sex With Men
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study seeks to decrease methamphetamine use and concomitant high-risk sexual behaviors among methamphetamine-using men who have sex with men (MSM) by combining a biomedical intervention with a behavioral intervention. The behavioral intervention will consist of an 8-week course of contingency management (CM) through which participants will be reinforced for testing negative for methamphetamine metabolites during periodic urine analyses. The biomedical intervention involves a 28-day course of an antiretroviral drug (Truvada) to be administered after an unanticipated HIV risk exposure (i.e., engaging in either receptive or insertive anal sex without a condom with someone who is HIV-positive or of unknown status). In combining these two interventions, this study seeks to evaluate the combined intervention's effects on sexual risk behaviors and methamphetamine use.
Amphetamine-Related Disorders
HIV Infections
Drug: Truvada
Behavioral: CM
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Biobehavioral Interventions for HIV-negative Methamphetamine-using MSM
- Self-reported Methamphetamine Use in Previous 30 Days. [ Time Frame: 3-months after baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Mean number of days (of the past 30) of methamphetamine use.
- Description of Incident STI Infections. [ Time Frame: Baseline and 3-months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Proportional 3-month incidence of syphilis, rectal gonorrhea, pharyngeal gonorrhea, and rectal Chlamydia.
- HIV-related Sexual Risk Behaviors in Previous 30 Days. [ Time Frame: 3-months after baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Self-reported episodes of Unprotected Anal Intercourse in the previous 30 days.
- Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Medication Adherence [ Time Frame: 28-days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Median medication adherence rate, defined as the proportion of pills taken relative to the number of pills prescribed (i.e., # of pills taken / # of pills prescribed).
|Study Start Date:
|January 2009
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|December 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: PEP/CM
Participants are provided contingency management vouchers for methamphetamine abstinence, and can initiate postexposure prophylaxis (Truvada; 1 pill daily for 28 days) after non-occupational exposure to HIV.
Drug: Truvada
At qualifying exposure, participants will take 28 days' worth (at one pill per day) of 200 mg emtricitabine and 300 mg tenofovir DF (Truvada).
Other Names:Behavioral: CM
Participants will submit a urine sample every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 8 weeks (a total of 24 urine samples). Samples will be tested for methamphetamine metabolites.
Other Names:
Detailed Description:
At the baseline, all eligible participants underwent informed consent; completed baseline assessments; received rapid HIV testing; provided specimens for syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia testing; and received a medical examination. Those who reported a high-risk sexual or drug exposure episode with an HIV-positive or serostatus-unknown source within the preceding 72 hours immediately initiated postexposure prophylaxis. All other participants received a 4-day ''starter pack'' of Truvada to be initiated only in the case of a future high-risk exposure to HIV. All participants began the voucher-based CM intervention upon study entry. For the initial 8 weeks of study conduct, participants presented to the study site three times weekly for a urine drug screen for methamphetamine metabolites. Participants who provided urine samples that were negative for methamphetamine metabolites earned vouchers, which escalated in value for successive negative urine samples. A participant with a missing sample or a sample positive for methamphetamine metabolites did not earn vouchers. Accrued vouchers were never forfeited and could be redeemed at any time during the study for gift certificates or goods or services that promote healthy, pro-social behaviors; vouchers could not be redeemed for cash.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:

text: I have recently written a near 4000 word report titled; leadership & Group Dynamics In Context. Some may view this as an intimidating task, but after the first few pieces of background reading, and theory study, it really spoke to me. I was able to evaluate myself and although i always knew i was confident and able, i never really put myself in a leadership position. However after writing said report, performing experiments, and studying theory, I have learnt in confidence that i can lead, and with successful results. From now i will jump at these leading role opportunities, and embrace where it may take me! I encourage anyone to evaluate themselves, and really look at their abilities as member of a team, and an individual, improve your weaknesses and push your strengths..

Gov. Gary Herbert has appointed Carbon County Clerk/Auditor Robert Pero to serve on the Utah State Tax Commission. When the State Senate confirms the appointment, Pero will resign the county post he has held for almost two decades.
He had been the accounting and data processing supervisor at Soldier Creek Mine when he was chosen by the county commission to serve the remainder of the term of Clerk/Auditor Norman Prichard, who had died in office.
Mike Milovich, who was on the county commission that appointed Pero, said Friday that Pero is "probably one of the best clerk/auditors in the state. The Tax Commission is getting a very capable individual."
In an interview Thursday, Pero reminisced about the early days in office. He had come aboard at the county in March, the start of tax season for that office, a busy time. Although the job was new, he did bring experience and training to the position. In addition to his years at Soldier Creek, he had also worked at Thiokol as a performance statistician. He also had earned a Master's Degree in computer science and applied statistics from Utah State University and his Bachelor's in business and economics from the University of Utah.
Nevertheless, "The job has never been easy. It has always been challenging," he said. On the other hand, he noted, he is one of those rare people who actually enjoys budgeting and auditing.
Pero wrote all his own programs for those purposes over the years. Since he was the author of the software, he did not need manuals or training. However, his successor may need those things. Pero said he is not going to leave the county hanging in that regard. He'll have a little time for transition between the time a replacement is named and when he has to leave for Salt Lake City.
He said he sought the job in the first place and then ran for re-election because "I have always liked dealing with the public."
The clerk/auditor's office is the place to be to meet the public. The clerk half of the services include such things as passports, marriage licenses and elections. Alexis Horsley, Pero's deputy, runs that operation.
The other half, auditor, is the side Pero likes best.
He has worked at the state level on both aspects of the job. He served on the Utah Association of Counties' Revenue and Taxation Steering Committee. Pero was also appointed by then Lt. Governor Herbert in 2006 to represent Utah on the United States Election Assistance Commission Standards Board.
His term on the Tax Commission will be four years. Assuming the State Senate confirms his appointment, he'll begin the new position some time in February.
Pero said he is glad that the governor has chosen him because he thinks it is important for the commission to have some rural perspective.

Am I the only person who believes PRO-spawned servers should be accessible to anyone they want?
What I of course mean to say is, there should be the option in 'Start a Match' to allow standard players to join, without having to invite them. And not just friends.
It's frustrating, as a PRO subscriber, to not be able to play what I pay for, simply because the map isn't standard this month. And yes, I understand I am paying for this, as is, but that doesn't make it right. Especially those who just get a premium subscription, what's the point in paying for maps you can't play? That's half your subscription.
Keep public standard/premium servers as they are, even with adverts for standard players. I would even suggest making FFA the only mod available to standard players. But have the option to allow standard players to join PRO-spawned servers, if the server op wishes them to. At the very least if they are, or if by doing so makes it, unranked.
Which brings me to another point. Stop having stats available to standard players. You guys have completely gotten everything, that should or shouldn't be free, backwards.

While politicians and media are busy congratulating themselves and each other for this historic election, and with humble respect to the many patriots who served and sacrificed for our country, I'd like to point out some unsung heroes. This month we witnessed an election in which the American people took back their government. Those election results were, in part, made possible by thousands of volunteers and letter-writers across the country.
Ignoring indifference and scorn from family and neighbors, those volunteers and letter-writers, in their own ways, soldiered on. Their focus and intent were to make America a better country. It doesn't matter on which side of the issues they stood; what matters is that they stood up for what they believed. Theirs were the drops of rain that became a mighty torrent. And this historic election is their legacy to future generations of Americans.
So these volunteers and letter-writers have reminded the politicians and media, in the words of the late Woody Guthrie, "This land is your land, this land is my land �" And perhaps the politicians and media will remember who really owns the joint, at least for a little while.

Over the past few years, nail polish trends have reminded us a bit of our adolescence: dramatic and insistent on making a statement. There was the dark and moody moment back in 2006 (when OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark appeared on everyone's fingers), the hyper faze of mid-2008 (with neon nails galore, thanks to Essie's fluorescent collection), and, most recently, the non-conformist moment of this past fall, when an ultra unorthodox hue (jade green) was all the rage. But after this wild and turbulent ride, it seems that things are slowly starting to calm down. That's right, the color that's taking manicures by storm right now is subtler and more sophisticated that past polishes and is definitely one to start wearing now: taupe!
While it's not as immediately eye-catching as some of the aforementioned shades, this mushroom-esque hue is instantly intriguing. The reason is simple: this unique and earthy tone is the perfect complement to spring's biggest trends. After all, a neutral nail is the perfect partner to the season's soft clothing colorsÂ--mid-blue hues, khaki galore, and even pretty pastelsÂ--all of which point to fashion's warm-weather shift to a more grounded and unfussy direction. Plus, as restless lovers of statement beauty, we can't help but delight in the trend's slightly subversive shade, which is far more intriguing than a basic baby pink.
Unsurprisingly, this trend started where most must-buy polishes are conceivedÂ--on Chanel's runway. It debuted at the fashion house's S/S 10 show, where models strutted in a beige-meets-classic palette of crème, tan, black, and red, set against a rustic backdrop. Their edgy-bucolic ensembles were enhanced by Global Creative Director for Chanel Makeup Peter Philips' discerning use of temporary tattoos and, of course, this newfound burnt-toast inspired polish. Taupe-topped talons served as a seamless extension of the farmhouse themes encompassing this collection, andÂ--as a testament to Philips' geniusÂ--caught our eye without catching it, blindsiding us with our sudden need for this Particuliere nail.
If you're still unsure about whether you should leave the Vamp behind and give this magnificently murky tone a whirl, take a top coat-note from some of our favorite stylesetters and their must-have fingertips. Kate Beckinsale and Gwenyth Paltrow each proved that this lacquer does indeed add a luxe finish to red-carpet style when they accented their fancy frocks with toasty nails for a sophisticated evening look. Additionally, Dree Hemingway attested to the go-anywhere-ness of this shroomy shade when she took her nails straight off the runway (she walked at Chanel) and paired them with her glamorous Fendi leather-and-cropped-fur ensemble. Finally, songstress Lily Allen not only rocked the stage as performer at Chanel's spring show, but also ushered in this brand new hue with a white shirt and nubby knits, affirming this beloved polish is equally as elegant with daytime wear.
While we're clearly over the moon for the manicure du jour, we've also scoured the beauty aisles to find a few alternatives. While all these chosen shades are in the correct color family, they each vary slightly in their brown-silver-purple ratio and some even provide a little shimmer!
Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour ($23) in 505 Particuliere
Ripped off the runway, this putty-ish shade is clearly setting the stylish tone for spring fingers. It is a perfect counterpart to their entire new makeup collection that highlights a neutral, bronzed face with delicate brown shadows and a pinky-gold lip. The overall look is equally posh for day or night, while the smoky, earthy effect is incredibly current and chic.
OPI Brights ($5.25) in Over-the-Taupe
One of the new colors from OPI's Brights line, a collaborative branch between OPI and Paige Denim, Over-The-Taupe is a bit more purple than its Chanel counterpart. Yet, for those OPI enthusiasts familiar with signature shades, it is a mistier, less gray variation of last year's matte-nail, You Don't Know Jacques! ($8). Falling somewhere in between each aforementioned polish on the color wheel, this is an ideal talon-topper for one who is not quite ready to say sayonara to gothic shades, but is still fearless enough to try cutting-edge color.
RGB Nail Polish ($14) in Toast
As one of our favorite purveyors of posh, chemical-free polish, RGB has impressed us again with their spring spectacular, Toast. This brown polish with its subtle silver-streak is touted as a current taupe which is very much in line with the company's signature quality: iconic colors with a modern edge. We highly recommend this glossy polish for a whole season of must-have nails!
Nubar Nail Lacquers ($7.50) in Sandstone
Nubar's Nature's Touch Collection may have been a jewel derived from fall, but the inclusion of Sandstone with their richer reds meant they were truly ahead of the curve. Like all of Nubar's polishes, is it formaldehyde and carcinogen-free, and it offers the perfect true taupe tone to accessorize your spring essentials. As if this isn't enough, the polish also has a hint of subtle shimmer to add a touch of glamour to the hands of any pretty young thing.Â--Liza Kaplan

A_K wrote:I agree that there's no combination of 25 players that will make us relevant this year. That's why I believe our outlook should be on what will make us relevant 2-3 years into the future. I didn't in any way mean to sound combative about how one could rationally think sending Matusz/Britton/Arrieta to the minors would be beneficial for the team. I was just saying that the logical extension of a) the group of veterans being irrelevant filler with no upside, and b) the team being destined for a last place finish means c) the only way supporting a) makes any sense is if you believe the young kids can still improve in the minors. If that's what you think-- and like I said, I recognize that it is an entirely reasonable opinion-- then the offseason acquisitions certainly make a lot of sense. Since I personally don't think Matusz/Britton/Arrieta have any reason to pitch in the minors anymore, the moves make very little sense to me.
My initial post merely meant to isolate the primary point of contention: whether the young pitchers have any improvement left to make in the minors. Everything else, I presume, are things we agree upon.
I didn't see it as combative. I think sometimes we agree on an issue but from differing points of view. Frankly, I enjoy reading your posts because I always see some thread of logic in them. I don't always agree with your POV but I come away re evaluating my own POV and remember that, sometimes when you come to a fork in the road, both ways will get you where you want to go.

How the GOP Destroyed its Moderates
October 05, 2012
Moderate Republicanism is not intellectually dead. So where is it?
Leaving TNR
September 09, 2011
I don't know how to say goodbye to a magazine that's been my home since I was a 23 year old intern one year out of college, where I've made some of the best friends in my life, and whose identity has become almost indistinct from my own. Since deciding to accept a job at New York magazine, I've tried to write that goodbye, but nothing seems adequate to the scale of the task before me. So, as I've learned to do in the face of deadlines, I'm just writing. My love affair with the New Republic began in college.
Rick Perry's Temporary Budget Sanity
September 09, 2011
The normal way to measure changes in the scope of taxes or spending is to account for changes in the size of population and the value of the currency. If the government creates a program to, say, give free lunches to poor schoolchildren, then that program will expend more dollars over time as things get more expensive and the number of schoolchildren increases. When conservatives tabulate the size of government, they frequently use alternate methods, such as ignoring the changing size of the population, ignoring inflation, or both.
Obama Pulls Off The Impossible
September 09, 2011
He proposes a jobs plan that wins the approval of Paul Krugman and David Brooks. Feel the love! Surfing on over to Fire Dog Lake, I wondered if Obama managed to win the hearts of his most fervent enemies. So far I see one item on it: So how was the speech? I didn't see it, did Obama open up with a line about how many people he's killed? That's about as positive as you're going to get.
What Will Obama's Speech Accomplish?
September 08, 2011
It always seemed clear to me, though it has not seemed clear to many liberals, that the exquisite care President Obama takes to establish his reasonableness and moderation is the first step of a two-step process.
Factchecker: Obama's Plan Isn't Paid For If Congress Refuses To Pay For It
September 08, 2011
Before I get to commenting on President Obama's speech tonight, I should note this ridiculous "fact check" piece by the Associated Press: President Barack Obama's promise Thursday that everything in his jobs plan will be paid for rests on highly iffy propositions. It will only be paid for if a committee he can't control does his bidding, if Congress puts that into law and if leaders in the future — the ones who will feel the fiscal pinch of his proposals — don't roll it back. Is this serious? That criticism can be made of any proposal to offset the cost of tax cuts or spending.
Still Not Done Arguing Yet
September 08, 2011
My plan is to stay here blogging the next couple of days, and since it's my last couple of days at TNR, I may as well go out in a blaze of hippie-punching. Democratic message consultant Drew Westen, whose New York Times cri de coeur of liberal frustration gained wide acclaim despite, or perhaps because of, its massive factual and historical errors, has another piece responding to your truly. He begins by implying that my response to him was part of a coordinated administration campaign: [I]n a cover story in The New York Times a month ago, I questioned whether he has it in his DNA to lead.
How Rick Perry Won the Debate
September 07, 2011
The most intellectually interesting portion of tonight's Republican presidential debate occurred in its opening moments, when Rick Perry and Mitt Romney sparred over their states' record of job creation. Perry cited his states record of creating jobs. Romney replied that his state inherited a worse situation, and wound up with a lower level of unemployment, while of course ignoring that Perry has governed during a recession.
I'm Not Done Arguing Yet
September 07, 2011
My piece in the New York Times magazine last weekend about President Obama and the left kicked up a lot of debate. The thesis was that the left's criticisms that Obama failed to secure enough stimulus. Let me address a couple objections I've seen. One argument claims that my argument hinges on the premise that those who argued for more stimulus are unimportant. Here's what I wrote: It's worth recalling that several weeks before Obama proposed an $800 billion stimulus, House Democrats had floated a $500 billion stimulus.

The Prophecy
Horror, Suspense/Thriller, SciFi/Fantasy
Tommy Dagget wanted to be a priest, but lost his faith and became a cop instead. He once wrote a learned treatise on angels, so when a physiologically abnormal individual is found murdered and a copy of Dagget's study discovered on the crime scene, he's assigned to investigate. What he uncovers is a literal war of angels. These supernatural creatures, led by the vicious Gabriel, are a tormented, murderous lot, warped by God's rejection in favor of "talking monkeys" called the human race. The angel Simon travels to a dying Western town and steals the soul of a recently deceased psychopath. Gabriel wants it back, because such souls increase his power. Simon hides it in the body of a small girl, and the race is on. Who will get to the little Mary first, the sinister angels, or the forces of human good?

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Why waxing is now old hat; how racers can adapt even better to changing snow conditions; and why ATOMIC designs tailor-made core constructions for each different target group: a look ahead to what promises to be the most successful and enjoyable cross-country season ever.
ATOMIC intends to put a smile on the face of every cross-country skier in 2011-12. Because we provide world champions and beginners, leisure athletes and snow hikers with the very best equipment: equipment tailored to everyone's individual needs. We have developed new technologies, improved upon existing ones and subjected them to the most rigorous quality control measures in existence: our own ambition to construct the best Nordic skis, boots and bindings in the world.
To ensure that every cross-country skier has the best ski for his or her needs, ATOMIC has developed core technologies for every performance level. For racers, the Nomex Featherlight core has been further optimized: ATOMIC's lightest ski is still the lightest ski on the market and boasts optimized dynamics and stability. The models for pleasure skiers feature Densolite and High Densolite cores, which boast a particularly outstanding power-to-weight ratio while also giving the cross-country skier a superb feeling of balance. The more athletic skiers can combine dynamic performance with low weight with the Speedcell, Powercell and Helium Tube cores.
Ambitious leisure athletes are often pushed for time, forced to organize training sessions around work and family. To make good use of every last minute, ATOMIC has developed SKINTEC – the world's first high-performance climbing system technology. It is a technology which ensures that the ski is always ready for use and produces a dynamic kick in all snow conditions. Its party piece: two different skin inlays can, if necessary, be inserted in a matter of seconds. At the same time, a symmetrical camber ensures efficient and effortless skiing. ATOMIC also offers two grip technologies: G2 SYNCRO is the tried and tested variant for pleasure skiers who want to be able to glide securely and push off stably with minimal effort. The new POSIGRIP 3D technology is sure to impress athletic skiers with further improved grip and glide characteristics in all snow conditions. This is thanks to a heat-embossed positive grip system.
In the battle for every last meter and tenth of a second, ATOMIC's top athletes Christoph Sumann, Bill Demong and Johnny Spillane will have two new, uncompromising weapons in their arsenal for 2011-12: the WC Skate now comes in variations designed for soft and hard snow and which differ in terms of length and sidecut. On the Soft Track, a specially defined 3D shape maintains ultra-stability in the centre of the ski, while extreme flexibility at the tip and tail, short contact zones and a single groove ensure outstanding gliding characteristics. By contrast, the Hard Track is extremely stable over its entire length. Long contact zones and a double groove ensure excellent tracking and stability while gliding.
The ATOMIC Nordic ski collection now includes a wide range of high-grade equipment for all target groups. ATOMIC boots – which range from the WC Skate and Classic World Cup boot and the best-selling women's models Aina and Ashera to the comfortable Mover models – now feature a new sole construction which improves power transmission. The range of bindings now includes the SNS Wedge. Mounted as a plate below the binding, it aids weight distribution and minimizes the strain on the shovel. This provides improved kick and edge grip. Four ultra-lightweight carbon poles and an inexpensive aluminum alternative are also now available.
