"Diversity, Efficiency, Simplicity!" Danger Man, Roadkill, and Square Peg discuss criteria for retirement investment plans. Low-cost index funds, guaranteed annuities, and rebalancing to stay near the Efficient Frontier are optimal. An eye-catching statue features Prometheus bound, with an eagle getting ready for a liver dinner as a pair of Oceanid nymphs hang out. It's a copy of an 1879 original in the Berlin National Gallery.

We mourn the passing of Eddie van Halen, and share stories of how scientists are humans too. A recent Nobel laureate and somebody's close friend are enemies after one stole the other's potential spouse. Oops!
