HOUSTON, TX, June 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) In the midst of continued economic uncertainty, financial issues loom large on the minds of many Americans. According to a recent report from the Chicago Tribune, retirement planning is something that more and more Americans are beginning to think critically about. For many Americans, however, issues such as retirement savings and estate planning are daunting, at best. For this reason, many Americans are seeking the services of financial planners--and independent broker-dealer NEXT Financial Group Inc. (NEXT) is devoted to providing high standards of service and investment savvy.
Based in Houston, NEXT seeks to serve the needs of business owners and entrepreneurs. NEXT's independent representatives provide their customers with sound financial guidance, which includes the proper retirement provisions.
"With the state of today's markets, planning for the future may seem daunting, but financial professionals across the industry are making steadfast strides to help people secure a significant amount of money for a healthy retirement," says president of NEXT, Barry Knight. "NEXT representatives always try to deliver prosperous outcomes for their customers through detailed goal evaluation and desired life achievements."
Indeed, despite economic uncertainty, Knight is nothing if not optimistic. "The right financial professional can help anyone achieve their dream retirement."
The Chicago Tribune article notes that retirement planning does not just involve plans for personal wealth assessment. An individual's "retirement planning duties" also include estate planning, something else that requires the assistance of a financial planner.
The article highlights the importance of making estate planning a priority--not post-retirement, but before retirement. "Options such as the payout scheme for a pension plan or annuities purchased with 401(k) money can be irrevocable, so they should be done in context with your plan for your estate," the article confirms.
Additionally, the Chicago Tribune article notes that close to 20 percent of Baby Boomers "feel they owe their children an inheritance." Even if this is not the case, however, financial planners recommend estate planning, to help ensure one's children are largely free from the legal burdens potentially associated from unplanned or poorly-planned estates.

NOAA: Gulf of Mexico 'dead zone' predictions feature uncertainty
2012-06-22
A team of NOAA-supported scientists is predicting that this year's Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone could range from a low of approximately 1,197 square miles to as much as 6,213 square miles. The wide range is the result of using two different forecast models. The forecast is based on Mississippi River nutrient inputs compiled annually by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The smaller dead zone forecast, covering an area slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island, comes from researchers from the University of Michigan. Their predicted size is based solely on the current ...
Multiple sclerosis patients have lower risk of cancer: UBC-VCH research
2012-06-22
Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients appear to have a lower cancer risk, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of British Columbia and Vancouver Coastal Health.
The study, published in the current issue of the journal Brain, is the first to investigate overall cancer risk in MS patients in North America.
"Because the immune system plays important roles in both cancer and MS, we wanted to know whether the risk of cancer is different for people with MS," says Elaine Kingwell, the study's lead author and a postdoctoral fellow in the UBC Faculty of Medicine ...
Moffitt researchers: Darwin's principles say cancer will always evolve to resist treatment
2012-06-22
According to researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center, cancer is subject to the evolutionary processes laid out by Charles Darwin in his concept of natural selection. Natural selection was the process identified by Darwin by which nature selects certain physical attributes, or phenotypes, to pass on to offspring to better "fit" the organism to the environment.
As applied to cancer, natural selection, a key principle of modern biology, suggests that malignancies in distinct "microhabitats" promote the evolution of resistance to therapies. However, these same evolutionary ...
Study shows stagnating life expectancies in US
2012-06-22
Despite modest gains in lifespan over the past century, the United States still trails many of the world's countries when it comes to life expectancy, and its poorest citizens live approximately five years less than more affluent persons, according to a new study from Rice University and the University Colorado at Boulder.
The study, "Stagnating Life Expectancies and Future Prospects in an Age of Uncertainty," used time-series analysis to evaluate historical data on U.S. mortality from the Human Mortality Database. The study authors reviewed data from 1930 through 2000 ...
Nano-infused paint can detect strain
2012-06-22
A new type of paint made with carbon nanotubes at Rice University can help detect strain in buildings, bridges and airplanes.
The Rice scientists call their mixture "strain paint" and are hopeful it can help detect deformations in structures like airplane wings. Their study, published online this month by the American Chemical Society journal Nano Letters details a composite coating they invented that could be read by a handheld infrared spectrometer.
This method could tell where a material is showing signs of deformation well before the effects become visible to the ...

Research shows how racial and gender profiling can affect outcome of traffic stops
2012-06-22
MANHATTAN, KAN. -- Racial profiling has gained national attention in recent years, and a Kansas State University researcher is finding that it can involve an additional factor: gender.
Jeremy Briggs, doctoral candidate in sociology, Topeka, is analyzing police actions during routine traffic stops to understand how race and gender are connected. Perhaps one of his most significant findings is that black and Hispanic women are just as likely as white men to be ticketed, arrested or searched during a traffic stop.
"Racial profiling has really come back into political discussions, ...
Focusing on water for Central Everglades essential to reversing whole ecosystem's continuing decline
2012-06-22
WASHINGTON — Twelve years into a multibillion-dollar state and federal effort to save the Florida Everglades, little progress has been made in restoring the core of the ecosystem, says a new congressionally mandated report from the National Research Council. Expedited restoration projects that improve the quality and amount of water in this area are necessary to reverse ongoing declines. A new federal pilot project offers an innovative approach to this challenge, although additional analysis is needed to maximize restoration benefits within existing legal constraints. ...
Lab-engineered kidney project reaches early milestone
2012-06-22
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – June 21, 2012 – Regenerative medicine researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have reached an early milestone in a long-term project that aims to build replacement kidneys in the lab to help solve the shortage of donor organs.
In proof-of-concept research published online ahead of print in Annals of Surgery, the team successfully used pig kidneys to make "scaffolds" or support structures that could potentially one day be used to build new kidneys for human patients. The idea is to remove all animal cells – leaving only the organ structure ...
Mayo Clinic: Common blood pressure drug linked to severe GI problems
2012-06-22
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered an association between a commonly prescribed blood pressure drug, Olmesartan, and severe gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss and electrolyte abnormalities -- symptoms common among those who have celiac disease. The findings are published online today in the medical journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
From 2008-11, Mayo Clinic physicians treated 22 patients with symptoms similar to celiac disease, including intestinal inflammation and abnormalities. Patients came from 17 states, ...
