The F-14 Tomcat may be the most pined for military aircraft of a generation. When talking to senior Navy officers we've heard more than once how some admiral is always going on about how much they miss flying the F-14.

They say the F-18 just doesn't compare; the newer Hornet lacks the '14's power, maneuverability and apparently it's simply a whole lot less fun to fly. One officer laughed and told us her admiral goes on about the "F-14 days, like a little girl."

It's nothing new;  those first couple thousand flight hours in a fighter likely fail to ever compare with anything else. Perhaps they can't, because the generation before the Tomcat, who flew the F-8 say, the exact same thing about "their" jet.

The F-14 was the first in the America's series of 'Teen Fighters.'

The Tomcat was developed to challenge decades of competition with Russia's MiGs.

It was a supersonic, twin engine, duel seated beast of the skies.

Stock prices have more than doubled since their lows of March 2009.

But when you look at the stock market since 2000, prices have effectively gone nowhere.

And Vitaliy Katsenelson, author of The Little Book of Sideways Markets, believes stocks could go sideways for another decade.

Click Here To See Katsenelson's Presentation >

"12 years into this sideways market, valuations are still 30% above the historical average, while in 1982 they were about 30% percent below average!" he writes.  "Also, historically, stocks spent a good amount of time at below-average valuations before sideways market turned into a secular bull market."

In a presentation he recently gave to the CFA Society of Atlanta, Katsenelson closely reviews the history of secular bull and secular sideways markets.

In addition to pointing to above-average valuations, he argues that this current sideways market can persist because of higher taxes, lower government spending, heavy global debt, historically high profit margins, and overcapacity in China among other things.

Many people agree that something should be done to curb mass shootings in America.

But a dearth of data about domestic gun use has sometimes hamstrung the debate.

Elisabeth Fosslien, a web analytics guru at Chicago's Leo Burnett ad agency, has created 24 charts that break down everything we currently know about guns in the U.S.

Much of the data is from the last decade — but again, that's a reflection of the absence of new information currently available.

Huge thanks to Fosslien for giving us permission to run her charts.

Something changed last year.

Americans have realized the U.S. is an outlier — our rate of firearm possession dwarfs that of other countries.

Guns are cheaper here.

On Monday, Yammer, the enterprise-collaboration startup Microsoft bought for $1.2 billion last year, moved from its longtime home in San Francisco's SoMa district to a new headquarters in 1355 Market, the building that's also home to Twitter and One Kings Lane.

Business Insider was on hand for the ribbon-cutting. We spoke to Yammer CEO David Sacks, CTO Adam Pisoni, and a host of employees about the move.

Microsoft's Dan'l Lewin, its top executive in Silicon Valley, was also on hand—the only sign of a very low-key presence for Yammer's new owners.

Lewin told us that the hands-off approach was very intentional, the result of a lot of learning on Microsoft's part on how to integrate startups. He called Yammer a "golden egg" that Microsoft wanted to handle carefully.

It's incubating in a beautiful new nest.

The San Francisco Furniture Mart, as 1355 Market was previously known, was built in 1937—the same year as the Golden Gate Bridge.

Twitter and One Kings Lane are also in the building. A local stationery firm, Patrick & Co., added Yammer to the list of new customers it hoped to accommodate.

Yammer's old office was convenient for South Bay employees, who could walk a block from the Caltrain station. Yammer doesn't offer private shuttles, but there is an express shuttle bus, the 83X, which takes them to Yammer's new Mid-Market location.

You pack your lunch, and never buy items at full price. You pay your credit card on time every month, and save up for that much-needed vacation every year.

If you’re doing these things, you’re likely on top of your finances.

But a new year is always a good time for a new challenge–and we have one for you: In 2013, vow to take your finances to the next level.

How? By learning from the pros.

The Certified Financial Planners (CFPs®) at LearnVest Planning Services have seen the fiscal situations of a lot of people.

They know what mistakes people are likely to make, and they know the best ways to fix them.

So we’ve turned their collective wisdom into a must-read guide for turning 2013 into your best money year yet. Read on to find out what exactly not to do—and how not to do it.

Not saving for retirement when you’re employed

It’s easy to come up with excuses for not saving for retirement. (See The 11 Biggest Retirement Lies You’re Telling Yourself.)

But you should be saving for retirement whenever you’re making money because there will be a time when you won’t be making any money—but you’ll still have to support yourself then.

This means that part of every dollar that you earn during your working years should go toward funding your non-working years.

If your company doesn’t offer a retirement savings program, open an IRA. If your company offers a plan, but doesn’t match, use these flow charts to see how best to allocate your retirement money.

Choose the chart according to your tax filing status—either single or married filing jointly.

Not having a game plan for getting out of debt

Don’t let that little voice tell you, “My credit card debt isn’t as bad as my friend’s debt.” And slap your wrist when you think, “I’ll just pay whatever I can this month.”

These are the kinds of rationalizations that “enable” people not to get out of debt.

So if any of these thoughts have crossed your mind, get yourself a plan to get out of debt immediately.

The top three steps to take:

1. Make sure you aren’t spending more than you earn
2. Decide how much you’ll put toward your debt payments each month—and stick to it
3. Figure out your deadline—i.e. the moment when, because you’ve stuck to your plan, you’ll be debt-free

Feeling new resolve? Excellent. One other aid for you: Avoid these debt mistakes.

Not doing the math before you take out student loans

Considering grad school? Have a teenager who’s heading to college?

Whether you or someone dear to you is planning to take out student loans, you should beware of one of the biggest pitfalls that CFPs® see: A lot of people take on huge student loan debt without knowing what their monthly payments will be when they graduate.

This is especially common among people attending grad school programs that promise graduates high salaries.

Be aware: Anyone who takes on a $100,000 loan, and pays 6.8% interest on it, will be paying about $1,100 a month toward that loan–for ten years.

If you’re certain that it’s worth it for you, learn what you need to know about taking out student loans in our Understanding Student Loans 101 and checklist.

The Golden Globes honor the year's best in television and film.

But the red carpet brings out not only the best, but also the worst, in Hollywood's top talents.

While we loved Kerry Washington and Kate Hudson's gowns, we weren't as keen on the dresses worn by Globe winners Debra Messing and Julianne Moore.

BEST: Kerry Washington looked perfect in her nude Miu Miu dress adorned with Swarovski crystals.

WORST: Debra Messing in this ill-fitting Donna Karan gown.

BEST: Presenter Kate Hudson looked chic in Alexander McQueen. But perhaps an updo would have been better to show off that collar?

Kristina Kovalenko may not have political power as the princess of a tiny Russian republic, but she certainly knows how to turn a profit on NYC real estate.

The royal purchased her Liberty Lofts condo in August of 2009 for $4.2 million, and after three years of living in her luxurious penthouse is now flipping the home for $8 million, according to a report in The New York Observer.

Natalia Gavrilov, the broker handling the sale at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, said that the 50% price hike was due to the property's unique layout and NYC location. "There's really no inventory like this, especially the high-end apartments," she told The Observer.

The princess originally bought the pad as a four bedroom, but transformed one of the rooms into her own personal walk-in closet. The barrel vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and Juliet balconies all add to the dramatic and opulent decor as well.

The Liberty Lofts building is just steps away from Lincoln Center and Central Park.

The Consumer Electronics Show is so big, it's nearly impossible for two people to see the entire thing in just three days.

But we did our best. And we saw a lot.

The following photos are the best and worst of what CES had to offer this year.

Winner: Samsung's 110-inch 4K TV was a beauty. It was super crisp and enormous. (Too bad it's going to cost $38,000)

Winner: Samsung's Smart TV interface was by face the best out of all other TV makers.

Winner: Sharp's 8K TV was way ahead of all the other 4K TVs on display in terms of picture quality. It was just a prototype though.

Smog has reached alarming levels in Beijing and much of northern China, forcing parents to keep their children inside and sending many to the hospital.

Monitors say that air pollution has soared past healthy levels, reaching up to 40 times the standard set by the World Health Organization in some parts of the country, according to official readings reported in the Associated Press.

Hospitals reported increases of up to 30% in the number of patients reporting breathing problems, and Chinese officials have warned that bad visibility and hazardous air conditions will likely last until Wednesday, the Guardian reported.

It seems that the housing market is slowly but surely rebounding in America.

Existing home sales and asking prices have crept up, and analysts report decreasing delinquencies and foreclosure filings. 

As a result, some of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the U.S. are beginning to see high listing prices and a shrinking inventory. 

Seattle-based brokerage firm Redfin has honed in on the American neighborhoods that show the most promise for 2013.

Click here to go straight to the hottest neighborhoods >

In its study, the company analyzed data* from 10,000 active homebuyers and 130,000 listings in 16 of the biggest real estate markets around the country. 

"The results surprised us," said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. "The hottest neighborhoods aren't the well-known bastions of privilege. They're once-gritty urban areas and far-flung suburbs with school districts on the rise."

Overwhelmingly, California neighborhoods dominated the list, a trend Kelman chalks up to the state's improving economy and the lure of a thriving tech scene. 

"Across the state, there are far more buyers than sellers, and we see bidding wars on almost every reasonably priced listing in Silicon Valley and Orange County," he told BI. "It’s probably also true that what happens to America happens first in California: the real estate bubble burst in California first, so buyers there have been waiting longer to make their move than just about anywhere else."

*Methodology: This ranking was based data from December 2011 - 2012 for housing markets in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle, Silicon Valley, Southern California, and Washington DC-Baltimore. Redfin highlighted the top three neighborhoods in each metro area, then whittled the list down from 48 to round out its top 10. See the full ranking here. 

10. North Maple Leaf, Seattle

Number of 2012 listings: -44.4%
Number of sales: +15.4%
Median listing prices:  +22.2%

"North Maple Leaf is in the Roosevelt School district and has lower prices than some of the surrounding neighborhoods like Wedgewood and Ravenna," says local agent Chad Pluid.

"There is easy access to I-5 South to commute to downtown. Homes that go on the market sell very quickly in this area." 

9. The Mission, San Francisco Peninsula

Number of 2012 listings: -28.6%
Number of sales: 16.7%
Median listing prices:  79.8%

"The Mission used to be thought of as a rough area, but it's started to emerge as a highly desirable area over the past year," says local agent Landon Nash.

"There's great diversity, tons of cultural activities and great restaurants and shopping. People are getting priced out of Noe Valley and the Castro, so the Mission is right there and great alternative." 

8. Logan Square, Chicago

Number of 2012 listings: -10.3%
Number of sales: +93.8%
Median listing prices:  +19.6%

"Logan Square has many attractive features, including wide park-like boulevards, a unique mix of housing types, public transportation, bike and walking paths, progressive local shops and a really cool vibe," explains local agent Greg Whelan.

"The convenience of two Logan Square blue line stops makes it a destination for those wanting to get more for their money."

The Atlantic just published an article about the Church of Scientology that was written by the Church of Scientology ("sponsor content.")

The article, not surprisingly, is quite flattering.

And the Atlantic's readership, not surprisingly, is aghast.

In the interest of contrast, we thought we would bring to your attention another article about the Church of Scientology.

This other article was written by Lawrence Wright of the New Yorker.

It might be described as a "devastating expose."

Wright's article centers around the story of one of Scientology's most famous defectors, a Hollywood screenwriter named Paul Haggis. It also draws a profile of Scientology's leader, David Miscavige, the beaming fellow in the Atlantic advertorial above.

The article describes how Scientology targets and uses celebrities like Tom Cruise to raise money, recruit adherents, and spread its "technology" (teachings). It also notes that David Miscavige's wife disappeared six years ago. 

The Church of Scientology was founded in 1954, by "several devoted followers" of a science-fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard.

 In 1950, Hubbard had published a self-help book called "Dianetics," which immediately became a best-seller.

What exactly IS Dianetics?

Lawrence Wright explains:

"Written in a bluff, quirky style and overrun with footnotes that do little to substantiate its findings, “Dianetics” purports to identify the source of self-destructive behavior—the “reactive mind,” a kind of data bank that is filled with traumatic memories called “engrams,” and that is the source of nightmares, insecurities, irrational fears, and psychosomatic illnesses. The object of Dianetics is to drain the engrams of their painful, damaging qualities and eliminate the reactive mind, leaving a person “Clear.”"

Hubbard described Dianetics as a "precision science."

"He offered his findings to the American Psychiatric Association and the American Medical Association but was spurned; he subsequently portrayed psychiatry and psychology as demonic competitors."

Australian businessman Joe Cross tipped the scale at 310 pounds when he realized he needed to regain control of his life. His solution? A 60-day juice fast. 

To do this, the 40-year-old traveled halfway around the world to America, home to some of the the fattest people in the world. 

See how Joe lost 90 pounds > 

Under the supervision of a doctor, Joe drank his way across the country while interviewing Americans about their diet and attitudes toward food.  

Joe's transformation and his quest to understand why people are electing to live an unhealthy lifestyle is chronicled in the film "Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead," released in 2011. 

In the spirit of the New Year, we thought it was the perfect the time to review Joe's powerful message about personal health and the larger obesity epidemic (In December 2012 a report found that obesity eclipsed hunger as a global health crisis). 

Following the film's success, Joe founded Reboot Your Life, a health and wellness company that helps people lose weight by teaching them how to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into their diets. Juice-only diets can be dangerous to some people, so check with your doctor before starting a fast.

We downloaded the documentary on Netflix and have pulled out the highlights. 

You can learn more about Joe's personal journey on the official website.  

This is Joe Cross. Joe hails from Australia where he is an entrepreneur and investor. Joe's poor eating habits over the last decade have made him fat and sick.

Financial journalist Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short and Moneyball, penned his first work – a bestseller – in 1989.

In Liar's Poker, Lewis recounts his four-year stint at Salomon Brothers, the now-defunct Wall Street investment bank where the mortgage bond was invented. 

While Lewis' detailed explanation of how Salomon reaped massive profits from the explosion in mortgage loans is instructive, his depictions of the larger-than-life personalities (like bond trader Lewis Ranieri and CEO John Gutfreund) jungle mentality, and other elements of the unsavory culture-du-jour are what adds immense color to this highly entertaining work.

A review by the New York Times was effusive in its praise of Lewis, closing "Whatever the case, he's obviously as good a writer as he was a bond salesman. Perhaps that's because both jobs involve being able to tell a good story."

A movie based on the book is in development, according to IMDB.

We've compiled 18 moments from Liar's Poker that capture exactly why the book became an instant classic.

The scene where the bank's CEO John Gutfreund challenges John Meriwether to a hand of Liar's Poker for $1 million.

The limits of reckless gambling on the Street were defined in the book's opening scene.

John Gutfreund proposed playing one hand of Liar's Poker, which requires gamesmanship and knowledge of probabilities highly valued by the traders, for $1 million. His opponent, John Meriwether (widely considered the firm's best player) didn't want to beat the CEO, so he got the boss the back off by saying he'd only play for $10 million.

The scene where Lewis describes how miserable his friends are as analysts.

Lewis describes a friend working as an analyst who "was so strung out that he regularly nipped into a bathroom stall during midday lulls and slept on the toilet. He worked straight through most nights and on weekends, yet felt guilty for not doing more. He pretended to be constipated—in case someone noticed how long he had been gone... Many analysts later admit that their two years between college and business school were the worst of their lives."

The scene where Lewis miserably flunked his first interview at an investment bank.

When a young Lewis revealed money was the only reason he wanted to become an investment banker   – in an interview  –  here's the response he received:

"That's not a good reason. You work long hours in this job, and you have to be motivated by more than just money. It's true, our compensation is in line with our contribution. But frankly, we try to discourage people from our business who are too interested in money. That's all."

JERUSALEM — It was hour seven of what was supposed to be a two-hour trip, and things were starting to get a little punchy on board the Rand Paul bus tour through Israel. 

The luxury coach, which was carrying the Kentucky Senator and his entourage of family, staffers, and evangelical leaders from Jerusalem to a kibbutz in the Sea of Galilee, had been derailed by flash floods and rock slides in the West Bank. The group was hungry, tired, and cold, but everyone was doing their best to make the most of it. 

'How about a gospel tune?' the tour guide suggested, trying to keep spirits up.

"Do we have 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door'? The Guns N' Roses version!" Paul called out. "C'mon! 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door'!" 

It took a few minutes for anyone to realize Paul was serious. Finally, the tour guide fiddled around with the sound system, and Paul's request came blaring through the speakers. 

"There we go!" Paul shouted to the rest of the bus, singing along. A few beats later, he called out again: "We need to change the name of this bus!"

"It's not the David Lane tour anymore!" he laughed, referring to the California-based evangelical activist who organized Paul's trip to Israel. "It's the Plague Tour! We've got hail, we've got darkness — all we need now are the frogs!" 

It was a surprisingly laid back, undiva-like attitude for a politician whose star is rapidly rising in the Republican Party. With the retirement of his father Ron Paul, Rand Paul has taken over the mantle of the GOP's libertarian wing, fusing it with his growing coalition of Tea Partiers and social conservatives.

His trip to Israel — which included meetings with top Middle Eastern political leaders and a tour of Christian holy sites with 40 evangelical activists — has fueled growing speculation that the younger Paul is seriously considering a presidential bid of his own in 2016. 

To find out more about the potential Republican White House hopeful, I joined Paul in Israel last week. Here are some of the best photos from our trip. 

Paul starts his trip with a rainy late-night visit to Jerusalem's Western Wall.

Israeli reporters crowd around Paul as he meets with Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch.

Despite the rain and late hour, pilgrims gather to pray at the Wall, one of the most sacred sites of the Jewish faith.

Montana is one of the most underrated destinations in the American West.

It has mind-blowingly majestic scenery, rampant wildlife, and lots of opportunities to explore them both in the great outdoors.

It's got the same quality of skiing as Colorado and Utah, but without the pretensions and high prices. And it has fresh food sourced from local farms and ranches, along with a growing number of microbreweries that churn out delicious craft beers.

With its endless miles of ski-able terrain, its serene snow-covered national parks, and its bizarre winter festivals, winter is one of the best times to visit Big Sky Country.

There's mind-blowingly majestic scenery.

The state is about 147,000 square miles, and encompasses vast mountains, sweeping valleys, placid lakes, and roiling rivers. The scenery is, in a word, spectacular.

The state is covered in gorgeous mountains. In fact, it's named for it: Montana comes from the Spanish word montaña, meaning mountain. Some of the mountain ranges, like the Bitterroot, Absaroka, and Beartooth ranges, are part of the Rockies.

There's unparalleled downhill skiing — without the crowds, prices, or pretensions of other ski resorts.

Montana has 16 downhill ski resorts that have over 17,000 acres of ski-able terrain.

Some of the biggest and best-known resorts are Big Sky and Whitefish Mountain, but smaller mountains like Bridger Bowl and Red Lodge are equally challenging and less crowded.

You'll meet some colorful local characters.

When I visited Montana, I met a woman covered in beaver pelts who called herself "the beaver lady," a gruff man who wore a kilt all year round (even the most frigid winters), professional skiers, and tons of real-life cowboys.

They were all colorful characters full of life and enthusiasm for their state.

Yankee star Alex Rodriguez put his gargantuan Miami mansion on sale for $38 million in August, and after months of not selling, A-Rod has taken it off the market, according to the New York Post.

The Post is reporting that A-Rod took the house off the market because he does not want any distractions while he is recovering from hip surgery and getting ready to play baseball again.

The mansion is right on the water and has nine bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. A-Rod bought the land in 2010 for $7 million and spent more than $20 million constructing the house.

The office of the future is going to look a lot different than it does today.

PSFK Labs, a trends and workplace consultancy with clients including Apple, BMW and Nike, just published a new report, The Future Of The Workplace, that predicts how this will look.

In short, offices will be very mobile with high information flow from the top down. And they'll also look a lot different, with sound-proof pods instead of cubicles, and TED-inspired meeting spaces.

We caught up with Piers Fawkes, president and founder of PSFK briefly about the report, which includes 1,200 data points from experts, creative agencies and other sources. "I’m really interested in the idea of talent on demand," he tells us. "Staffing in a company needs to be flexible and the office needs to be adaptive. Using algorithms to efficiently manage staff within the organization is all about efficiency and productivity."

Thanks to PSFK Labs for giving us permission to run the slide deck.

20-year-old Australian Bernard Tomic is the most interesting tennis player you've never heard of.

He has all the talent in the world, but his bombastic personality and a litany of off-the-court issues has so far hindered his ability to became a great player.

This is a man who once tried to get his own father ejected from a match, locked himself in his house to hide from police, and proclaimed he would be the best tennis player ever.

Going into the 2013 Australian Open, Tomic is finally starting to put it together.

If he makes a deep run in his home tournament, his profile as tennis' biggest bad boy will explode.

Let's start with what makes Tomic remarkable — the off-court stuff. This is his $600,000 Ferrari Spider

Most couples who live together know that they can get on each others' nerves sometimes. Now imagine a situation where you and your partner are living together in just 140 square feet.

It's not for everyone, but Chris and Malissa Tack have made it work. They gave up their high-tech lives in 2011 and condensed their world into a "tiny house" in the town of Snohomish, Wash.

The Tacks say that living in such close quarters has actually made them more courteous to one another, they told the Huffington Post.

Chris now works as a photographer and Malissa as a freelance 3D artist. The couple shared some photos of their tiny living space, which they designed themselves.

The Tiny Tack House welcomes you with its rich, dark orange door.

The sitting nook is nestled right in front, sandwiched between two of the house's many windows.

Opposite the sitting nook is a large Mac screen. It can be used as a TV or, when you swing forward the table attached to a hinge on the wall underneath, a desktop computer.
