Well-Matched Sophs to Clash in Red Legend
With Hansen expected to bow out of the $400,000 Red Legend Stakes in favor of the Iowa Derby (gr. III) June 30, the seven-furlong test of 3-year-olds at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races shapes up as an evenly-matched contest of nine.
"I think he ran very well in the Woody Stephens, and it absolutely gave me the confidence that he could indeed run with the best," said Crowell of the Parx based Il Villano. "He's run against some tough horses, but I am very confident with him in this race."
The Red Legend will mark Majestic City's first start on a conventional dirt track in his 8 race career, another fact that doesn't concern his trainer.
"It never hurts you to have a rider who is familiar with the track, with it being a six-furlong track and all," Miller said. "And getting a leading rider at the track is even better."
Flashy Dresser's first graded stakes effort was compromised by a spill that occurred at the top of the stretch and forced the colt to swerve to avoid fallen jockey Javier Castellano.
Eddie Castro rides Flashy Dancer for the first time.

From Gold Rush to Gold Standard: History's Filigree
Article excerpt
A timeline of the precious metal's effects on the world - from gold rush to gold standard.
- 5500-2500 BC Gold is first discovered in the later part of the Stone Age, probably in Mesopotamia.
- 3000 BC Gold rings are used for payments in Egypt.
- 650 BC The Lydian Lion - a bean-shaped gold piece stamped with a lion - is considered the first true coin. It is first minted by Lydia, the ancient Greek kingdom ruled by Croesus a century later.
- 250 BC The Greek mathematician Archimedes demonstrated that the purity of gold can be determined by calculating its density (weight and amount of water it displaces- ).-
- AD 1284 Venice introduces the gold ducat, which becomes the most popular coin in world commerce for more than five centuries.
- 1511 King Ferdinand of Spain sets the tone for his expeditions to the New World, admonishing his explorers: "Get gold, humanely if you can, but at all hazards, get gold."
- 1787 First American gold coin - the Brasher doubloon - is struck by gold- and silversmith Ephraim Brasher.
- 1792 The Coinage Act puts the US on a bimetallic silver-gold standard, defining the dollar as equivalent to 24.75 grains of fine gold and 371.25 grains of fine silver.
- 1799 The first US gold rush is sparked by the discovery of a 17- pound gold nugget at Little Meadow Creek, N.C.
- 1821 Britain institutes the first gold standard.
- 1848 The discovery of gold at Sutter's sawmill near Sacramento, Calif., sparked the California gold rush and accelerated settlement of the American West.
- 1851 Australian gold rush begins in New South Wales, in the southeast.
- 1870s North American gold finds make the metal more plentiful, prompting the US, Germany, and France to adopt the gold standard, followed by many other countries.
- 1886 While digging up stones to build a house, George Harrison makes the largest gold discovery in history in Witwatersrand, South Africa. The deposit produces 40 percent of the world's gold by 1985.
- 1887 Scottish chemist John Steward MacArthur wins a British patent for the gold cyanidation process. It enables the separation of gold from ore and doubles the world gold output within 20 years.
- 1897 The Klondike gold rush sees 100,000 "stampeders" head north after gold is discovered in the Canadian Yukon the previous year.
- 1900 The Gold Standard Act places the US officially on the gold standard, a fixed exchange rate in relation to other countries on the gold standard.
- 1903 The Engelhard Corporation creates a liquid medium to print gold on surfaces - for tender and decoration. The medium becomes the basis for microcircuit printing technology.
- 1913 Federal Reserve Act sets up a central banking authority and specifies that Federal Reserve notes be backed 40 percent in gold. …

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to find a great IDE for front end development on my mac. What HTML / CSS IDE do you use. does it know js too? that would be awesome if it does.
I used netbeans for a while but that did not turn out well at the end. Don't get me wrong, It's great IDE , but it has it's problems. I tried the demo of CODA 2 but either I'm not doing the front end dev right, or coda 2 is not very front-end-dev friendly. So I found Espresso. That's awesome but still looking for something else that I'm probably missing.
What do you use? What would you recommend?
Are you reading only the topics you start?

Press release from Marketwire
Rare Element Commences Separation Testing and Heavy Rare Earth Testing
Thursday, March 15, 2012
Rare Element Commences Separation Testing and Heavy Rare Earth Testing16:52 EDT Thursday, March 15, 2012LAKEWOOD, COLORADO--(Marketwire - March 15, 2012) -Rare Element Resources Ltd. (TSX:RES)(NYSE Amex:REE) announces that it has entered into an agreement with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO) to develop and test a process to produce separated rare earth (RE) products from concentrates derived from ore material at the Bear Lodge project, Wyoming. Rare Element has also begun metallurgical testing of drill core samples from the three project areas that were discovered to contain high-grade heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) as announced in August, 2011. This test work is being conducted at Mountain States R&D International (MSRDI) in Vail, Arizona.Jaye Pickarts, P.E., Chief Operating Officer noted, "We are very fortunate to have engaged ANSTO and MSRDI for our test work. They both have excellent international reputations in the REE scientific community. As we continue our research into the processing of the ore types at Bear Lodge, we are working to determine the most comprehensive and economic methodology for extraction of the rare earth elements that our potential customers will want." Rare Earth Element (REE) Separation Study Rare Element's strategy is to commence production of a bulk mixed RE carbonate, and then to progress to the separation of the bulk RE concentrate into HREEs; samarium, gadolinium and europium (SEG); neodymium-praseodymium (also known as didymium); cerium and lanthanum products using solvent extraction technology. As this separation work advances, Rare Element may adjust the product suite to add or further separate additional products. The separation testing and development work will be performed in two phases. The first phase, taking place over the next few months, will identify whether any further purification processing is required for the production of a mixed RE carbonate and how solvent extraction can be successfully integrated into the current process. The second phase will identify solvent extraction processes that will chemically achieve the desired separated REE products. Once each of these tasks are successfully accomplished, the Company plans to continue testing of separation into individual rare earth oxides. The specifications for the individual RE oxides (REOs) will be determined by customer requirements. Metallurgical Testing of HREEs The Company has engaged Mountain States R&D International, under the direction of Dr. Roshan Bhappu, to conduct preliminary physical (mineral) and hydrometallurgical concentration testwork on 2011 drill core obtained from the Carbon, East Taylor and Whitetail Ridge areas. These areas have been found to contain significantly higher concentrations of HREEs. (Details of this discovery were outlined in Rare Element's news release issued on August 4, 2011.) HREE enrichment occurs primarily in RE fluocarbonate minerals at Whitetail Ridge and Carbon, and occurs in both xenotime, an yttrium-vanadium phosphate, and RE fluocarbonates at East Taylor. Preliminary characterization of these western areas indicate high grades (greater than 3% RE oxide) and substantial quantities of the light rare earth elements (LREEs) along with some of the highest grades of HREEs in North American REE deposits. The oxidized-mineralized bodies in these three areas are particularly enriched in europium (Eu), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), and gadolinium (Gd), with locally high yttrium (Y).The MSRDI test work will focus on creating an upgraded REE pre-concentrate using a combination of physical and chemical processes, followed by further concentration using the hydrometallurgical process already developed for the Bull Hill deposit. The same physical concentration methods for minerals to be used for Bull Hill ores will be tested on the HREE-enriched material, along with several other potential methods. Markets for Rare Earths Rare Element has been and continues to negotiate with some highly recognized companies for potential off-take partnerships.Rare-earth elements are key components of the green energy technologies and other high-technology applications. Some of the major applications include hybrid automobiles, plug-in electric automobiles, advanced wind turbines, computer hard drives, compact fluorescent light bulbs, metal alloys in steel, additives in ceramics and glass, petroleum cracking catalysts, and many others. China currently produces more than 96% of the 124,000 tonnes of rare-earths consumed worldwide annually, and China has been reducing its exports of rare earths each year. The rare-earth market is projected to grow rapidly as these green technologies are implemented on a broad scale. Rare earths are critical and enabling metals for the green technologies. Rare Element Resources Ltd. (TSX:RES)(NYSE Amex:REE) is a publicly traded mineral resource company focused on exploration and development of rare-earth elements and gold on the Bear Lodge property.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 11/17/14
Leeds players have offered their support to former team-mate Robbie Rogers after the American winger revealed he is gay . Football was left to once again examine its last great taboo as Rogers, capped 18 times by the United States and a 2008 Olympian, wrote on his blog that he had been afraid of revealing his sexuality - and he now wants to live a new life outside of the game. "Secrets can cause so much internal damage," he wrote. "People love to preach about honesty, how honesty is so plain and simple. Try explaining to your loved ones after 25 years you are gay. "Try convincing yourself that your creator has the most wonderful purpose for you even though you were taught differently." He added: "Now is my time to step away. It's time to discover myself away from football." Rogers left Elland Road last month by mutual consent after returning from a loan spell with Stevenage, but his old team-mates quickly took to Twitter to send their support. "Full respect to @robbierogers an...

China Demands Google Step Up Indecency Blockage
State media in China reported that authorities had shut down some of Google's search services because of indecent material, leading the Internet giant to announce on Friday it would work harder to eliminate pornography from its Chinese Web pages, AFP reported.
Google said in a statement it has continually taken measures against vulgar content on the Internet in China, especially against material that is harmful to children.
"Google is currently stepping up its efforts in this regard," the statement said.
The Chinese agency tasked with fighting online porn has already "stopped some of Google China's searching businesses and asked it to clear up its lewd content," according to reports from Xinhua news agency.
Xinhua said the China Internet Illegal Information Reporting Center (CIIRC) ordered Google China to suspend its overseas web page searching services and associated word-search services.
Google China was called out by the center on Thursday, which said it was continuing to facilitate searches for pornographic material.
The watchdog group said in a statement: "Google China's website has not installed filters to block pornography in accordance with the laws and regulations of our nation."
It went on to say that the center strongly condemns Google China and demanded that it must thoroughly clean up the pornographic and vulgar content available on its search returns.
The Chinese government has stood firm in its overall intent to clean up Internet content that it deems unhealthy, including information critical of Chinese authorities and pornography.
In a move that has been considered controversial around the world, the Chinese government recently notified computer makers that all personal computers sold from July 1 must be shipped with anti-pornography software.
With nearly 300 million web users, China has the largest online population in the world.
But in a censorship system that has been dubbed the "Great firewall of China," authorities have historically blocked websites they deem to be offensive or politically unacceptable.
Beijing also plans to recruit an "army of tens of thousands of volunteers" to scour the Internet for porn and report back to authorities in the capital, the Xinhua agency reported on Friday.

Information on the Nature and Costs of Cleanup Activities at Three Landfills in the Gulf Coast Region
GAO-11-287R: Published: Feb 18, 2011. Publicly Released: Feb 18, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4931
Office of Public Affairs

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that one in four Americans lives within 3 miles of a contaminated site, many of which pose serious risks to human health and the environment. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) provided the federal government with authority to respond to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances and created a trust fund to provide for certain cleanup activities. Under CERCLA, EPA established the Superfund program to address the threats that contaminated sites pose. Although EPA has paid for the cleanup of many of these sites through the Superfund program, funding for these cleanups has diminished in recent years. In 2010, we reported that EPA's estimated costs to clean up existing contaminated sites exceed the Superfund program's current funding levels and that some sites have not received sufficient funding for cleanup to proceed in the most cost-efficient manner. Additionally, in July 2009, we reported that EPA does not collect sufficient information on the cost of cleanup activities at Superfund sites and recommended, among other things, that EPA assess and improve the data it collects on the status and cost of cleanups. EPA coordinates the cleanup of Superfund sites by identifying sites potentially requiring cleanup action and placing eligible sites on its National Priorities List (NPL). EPA may compel the parties responsible for contaminating these sites to clean them up, or the agency may, using resources from the trust fund established by CERCLA, conduct cleanups itself and seek reimbursement from responsible parties. In some cases, EPA may not be able to obtain reimbursement because the agency cannot identify a responsible party or the responsible party or parties may be insolvent or may no longer exist. One category of contaminated sites--landfills and other waste disposal facilities--made up more than one-third of the 1,397 sites EPA placed on the NPL from 1983 through 2007, and EPA's expenditures at these 511 sites totaled about $3.6 billion through fiscal year 2007. According to EPA, landfill sites on the NPL generally share similar characteristics and present similar threats to the environment. For example, these sites generally exhibit contamination in various media, such as soil, surface water, or groundwater, and many landfills at Superfund sites contain hazardous waste that may contaminate nearby soil or water. Further, some have argued that landfills used for the disposal of debris created by disasters may also contain hazardous waste that could have long-term, negative environmental impacts. Consequently, concerns have been raised by various studies and environmental groups about the potential for such landfills to become Superfund sites. For instance, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a Louisiana emergency order authorized some potentially hazardous materials to be disposed of in landfills permitted to receive construction and demolition debris rather than in landfills with liners approved for such waste. Studies by a Louisiana State University research institute and an environmental engineering firm found that these categories of waste can introduce hazardous materials into landfills, increasing the likelihood of pollution. In this context, Congress asked us to review issues related to the cost to clean up the Agriculture Street Landfill Superfund site, which received debris from Hurricane Betsy in 1965, and other Superfund sites involving landfills in the Gulf Coast region where cleanup has been completed. Our objectives were to determine (1) what is known about the nature and costs of the cleanup activities at Superfund landfill sites and (2) the costs to clean up the Agriculture Street Landfill site and two additional selected Superfund landfill sites in the Gulf Coast region, and the key factors that influenced these costs.
While cleanup activities at Superfund landfills depend largely on the nature and extent of the contamination at each site, these activities generally include extraction, treatment, and containment. Extraction is the removal of contaminated substances from a site. At landfill sites, extraction may involve excavating contaminated soil and other landfill contents from the site and disposing of these materials at an off-site facility that is permitted to receive such products. According to EPA, extraction is the most expensive cleanup approach used at Superfund landfill sites. Treatment is the reduction of contaminated substances at a site and involves processing contaminated media, either on- or off-site, to reduce the toxicity, mobility, or volume of contamination. For example, EPA and responsible parties may remove groundwater from a Superfund site and chemically process it to remove contaminants at an off-site facility, or they may install a system at the site to treat the contaminated water in place. While treatment is a lower-cost alternative to extraction, it is a high-cost cleanup approach. Finally, containment involves leaving contaminated media on-site and installing measures to prevent human exposure to hazardous substances. For instance, containment at a Superfund landfill site may include installing a cover over landfill contents and establishing institutional controls, such as legal access restrictions, to limit exposure to the contaminated material. Containment is generally the least expensive method of addressing Superfund landfills. Limited data are available on the actual costs of cleanup activities conducted at Superfund landfill sites for two main reasons. First, EPA does not maintain a central tracking system for the costs of such cleanup activities. While EPA tracks its expenditures at Superfund sites, this information does not include the cost associated with each cleanup activity conducted at a site. Rather, EPA's Superfund cost information focuses on the total cost of each contract under which multiple cleanup activities may have been conducted. Second, cost data are limited because no requirements exist for responsible parties--including private companies, states, and local governments--to maintain or disclose their cleanup costs at Superfund sites. Private companies generally consider their cleanup costs as information that they have a right to keep confidential. While state and local governments are generally required to collect cleanup cost data under public accounting standards, these standards generally do not address maintenance of the data. While only limited cleanup cost data are available, we estimated that the costs to clean up three Superfund landfill sites in the Gulf Coast region--the Agriculture Street, Beulah, and Taylor Road landfill sites--ranged from about $13 million to about $55 million. This range is largely the result of differences among the sites in such factors as site geology and proximity to residential areas.

Sometimes when I am studying evolution, I take a step back and worship my Lord because I am so in awe.
A college student raised as a young-earth creationist shares his story of coming to understand and appreciate God's evolving creation.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.
The 1930 showdown between evolutionist Schmucker and creationist Rimmer generated a lot of heat but shed very little light on the real issues behind the debate.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.
Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.

Target of bloody raid may have left Jamaica: gov't
KINGSTON, Jamaica After a slum raid that left nearly 50 people dead in four days of gunbattles, the reputed drug kingpin who was the target may have fled the country, the government said Wednesday.
Strongman Christopher Coke, who helped the prime minister win elected office, had months to stockpile weapons in his slum stronghold while the premier wavered over U.S. demands for his extradition.
"I could not say if he is in Jamaica," Information Minister Daryl Vaz said of Coke, who is known as "Dudus." "It's very difficult to tell."
Police and soldiers who fought their way into the barricaded Tivoli Gardens slum in gritty West Kingston were conducting a door-to-door search, and the government reported calm Wednesday. Coke's lawyer has declined to confirm his whereabouts.
Gray smoke was rising from recently extinguished fires inside Tivoli Gardens. Sporadic gunfire rang out elsewhere in West Kingston and security forces barred journalists from entering the battle zones around the capital on Jamaica's south coast, far from the tourist resorts on the north shore of the Caribbean island.
The violence did not surprise island police and community groups who warned that Coke had been stockpiling weapons and preparing to defend himself since the U.S. demanded his extradition last August. According to the U.S. indictment, he has built a private arsenal of firearms smuggled in by gang members in the United States, sharing guns with other criminals to solidify his power as a major underworld boss.
"The situation at Tivoli is dreadful, but it's been something that's been simmering for a long, long time. And everybody knew that if they made the move for Coke that there would be trouble," said Susan Goffe, spokeswoman for local human rights group Jamaicans for Justice.
At least 44 civilians have been killed, said Bishop Herro Blair, Jamaica's most prominent evangelical pastor, who was escorted into the slum by security forces. At least four soldiers and police officers also have died in the fighting.
Jamaican politicians and gang leaders who control ghetto fiefdoms have had cozy ties for decades. Political parties created Jamaica's street gangs in the 1970s to rustle up votes. Since then, the gangs have turned to drug trafficking, but they remain staunchly and often violently loyal to their parties and live in poor neighborhoods called "garrisons."
The slum presided over by Coke, the alleged leader of the "Shower Posse" gang, has long been a bastion of support for the governing Jamaica Labor Party. It is part of the district represented in parliament by Prime Minister Bruce Golding, who stonewalled the U.S. extradition request for months before reversing himself under pressure from Washington and the local political opposition.
Golding disputes the allegation that his party is close to Coke, and he is not known to have a personal relationship with Coke. But political observers say he could not have been elected to his parliament seat without the gang leader's support. A former prime minister from the same party, Edward Seaga, marched at the funeral of Coke's father, the gang leader known as Jim Brown, who died in a prison fire in 1992 while awaiting extradition to the U.S. on drug charges.

John Halajian Shares His Innovative Creations and Contributions
Innovative book exhibits the fascinating world of lunar exploration.
Suffolk Country, NY (PRWEB) July 03, 2013
Invigorating, astounding and innovative,"Moon Stories" is a riveting book that shares author John Halajian's determined journey into lunar exploration and more. His passion for science is captured in this one-of-a-kind book that elucidates the concept of the power of the mind as he ventured forth in his legendary accomplishments with landing men on the moon in the 1960s.
Napoleon Hill's quote "What the mind can conceive, the body can achieve," is truly descriptive of what Halajian was able to do for humanity. His outstanding contributions for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, also known as NASA, invoked a significant development in technological advancements especially in the lunar science and exploration programs. He also co-pioneered some very vital tools that have enhanced the lifestyle of humanity. Digital imaging is one of them. Versatile, this book is not just a story of science and technology, but more importantly, this magnificent compilation is an inspiring and compelling emblem of perseverance, hard work and passion which one man was able to embody through his groundbreaking discoveries, unlimited amount of knowledge and creative imagination.
About the Author
John Halajian, an engineer who pioneered the scientific exploration of the moon, and an expert student of Armenian sacred architecture was born in Beirut, Lebanon, on January 1, 1926. He spent his early years in Damascus, Syria, where he completed his primary and secondary education in the French Jesuit School. After obtaining his French baccalaureate, he received his bachelor's degree in civil engineering and architecture at the American University of Beirut. He pursued a Master's Degree in Civil Engineering, with a specialty in soil mechanics, at Harvard University. Shortly after graduating, he got married and was blessed with four daughters.
He was employed at Grumman Aerospace in Bethpage, Long Island, and was recruited to provide his expertise in soil mechanics for the purpose of developing a proposal for NASA regarding the manned lunar landing mission. Halajian's research also led him to other area levels, and through his work, he co-invented a pioneering version of the digital camera. Following the lunar landing, and his migration within Grumman to a life of normalcy, he devoted much time to the building of his own home in Long Island, NY, and reverted to his passion for architecture and building.
Aside from handling various responsibilities and positions, Halajian was also known as a writer of essays on a variety of subjects. At the end of his life, he took solace in knowing that a compilation of his best writings would soon be published in book form. John touched so many lives with love, humanity, knowledge and artistry. Among all of his accomplishments, he remained humble.

When it comes to financial threats in retirement, there are many. But which threats do investors regard as those mostly likely to derail their dreams of retirement? Investors worry about long-term care costs, bear markets, the security of their pension plans, being unemployed or being to sick to work, according to a survey released by the Natixis Global Asset Management (NGAM) Durable Portfolio Construction Research Center. NGAM surveyed more than 750 investors in the U.S. as well as more than 5,650 investors in 14 countries from Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and the U.K. as part of its annual global investor survey. Here's what retirement savers around the world say are the biggest financial threats to their retirement. —Robert Powell
1. Long-term care costs not covered by insurance
Forty percent of those surveyed say long-term care costs not covered by insurance is the biggest threat to their retirement. Those here in the U.S., however, aren't the biggest worrywarts, according to NGAM. That title belongs to Asian citizens, who expect to need long-term care for 10 years while in retirement. Americans, meanwhile, expect to need five years of long-term care, on average, and are (for better or worse) confident they will be able to pay for it. Not surprisingly, older investors are more likely to consider uninsured long-term care costs a threat to a secure retirement than are younger investors.
2. Significant reduction in retirement savings or investments due to market conditions
More than 80% of investors globally are "moderately" or "very" confident that their current investment approach will help them achieve their retirement savings goals, according to the NGAM survey. In addition, 81% feel their current investment approach will prevent their portfolio from experiencing dramatic swings in value, a key criterion for retirement success.
But even though investors are generally confident, they see possible obstacles, according to the NGAM survey. For example, 37% say they are concerned about a "significant reduction in retirement savings/investments due to market conditions," reflecting continued anxiety over volatility. Similar numbers worry about the impact of unemployment (35%) and of their retirement funding falling short (34%).
3. Insufficient proceeds from defined-contribution plan
As the shift from defined-benefit plans to defined-contribution plans has taken hold, more and more investors acknowledge that they will shoulder much of the funding burden in retirement, according to the NGAM survey. For instance, once in retirement, investors in the U.S. expect that their biggest sources of retirement income will be 401(k), 403(b) or other defined contribution plans (19%); pensions or other defined benefit plans (18%); IRAs or other savings and investments (17%); and government programs such as Social Security (12%).
Even though defined-contribution plans will be the biggest source of retirement income, 27% say insufficient proceeds from their defined contribution plan is a threat to their retirement. There's reason why U.S. investors should be worried. The average 401(k) plan participant in their 60s with 30 years of tenure with their employer was $208,892. Using the 4% withdrawal rule, that would generate about $8,355 dollars per year in retirement, or cover four or five years of retirement.
4. Unemployment
In general, investors expect that 5% of their retirement income will come from earnings, from work. The rest will come from a mix of savings, pensions, the sale of their primary and/or second/vacation house, and the like.
Still, slightly more than one in five (22%) of investors say unemployment is a threat to their retirement. Unemployment is a concern in other ways too. Investors are growing increasingly concerned about the political and macroeconomic landscape and how it affects their investments, according to the NGAM survey. Nearly all (94%) investors say they are anxious about the federal government's financial situation, with 57% saying they are "very concerned." And, 92% are concerned about the level of unemployment and 91% are concerned about U.S. political issues, including 45% who are "very concerned."
5. Physically incapable of working
According to the NGAM survey, 21% of investors say being physically incapable of working is a threat to their retirement. They should be worried. According to the 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey, there's a gap between workers' expected age of retirement and retirees' actual age of retirement. For instance, just 9% of workers say they plan to retire before age 60, compared with 37% of retirees who report they retired that early, and that 14% of workers plan to retire at ages 60 to 64, while nearly a third (32%) of retirees retired at these ages.
One reason for this gap between workers' expectations and retirees' experiences of retirement age is that many Americans find themselves retiring unexpectedly. The RCS has consistently found that a large percentage of retirees leave the workforce earlier than planned (47% in 2013), and many retirees who retired earlier than planned cite negative reasons for doing so, including health problems or disabilities (55%), changes at their companies, such as downsizing or closure (20%), or having to care for spouses or other family members (23%). Others say changes in the skills required for their jobs (9%) or other work-related reasons (20%) played a role.
6. Insufficient proceeds from a pension or defined-benefit plan
One fifth of investors are worried that they'll have insufficient proceeds from their pension or defined benefit plan. They have reason to worry as well. At the moment, 18.3% of the average retiree's income comes from a pension (it's just 4.1% if they are in the lowest income quintile). But, that's like to change for future retirees. Consider: The percent of private-sector workers participating only in employer-sponsored defined benefit plan has fallen from 28% in 1979 to 3% in 2011, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. The percent of workers who have an employer-sponsored defined contribution and defined benefit plan has remained level, however. It was 10% in 1979 and 11% in 2011.
7. Cost of college education for children
Some 19% worry that the cost of college education for their children will derail retirement. Again, they have reasons to worry. Consider the annual cost of a four-year private nonprofit college is now $39,971.
And parents, along with their children, are both shouldering the costs. Consider: Federally backed educational loans to parents, at an estimated $100 billion, make up 10% of the $1 trillion in educational loans, according to FinAid.org data in published reports.
8. Insufficient sale proceeds from primary residence
Investors expect that 12% of their retirement funding will come from the sale of their primary residence. But 16% worry that insufficient sales proceeds from their primary residence could throw a wrench in their retirement plan. There's good reason to worry, especially among boomers.
Two factors come into play. First house prices, as measured by the S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price index, are still well below the highs hit in 2006. Plus, Americans approaching retirement face worrisome levels of debt, according to various research reports. In fact, more than half (55%) of the American population age 55–64 carries a home mortgage ($66,000) and about the same fraction (50%) has credit card debt. Given that, U.S. investors have good reason to think that the sale of their primary residence won't be enough to fund their retirement dreams.
9. Cost of caring for children/grandchildren
Children, back when farming was a way of life, were your retirement plan. Today, children might cost you your retirement. Consider: It costs an estimated $241,080 for a middle-income couple to raise a child born in 2012 for 18 years, according to a recent U.S. Department of Agriculture report. That cost is up almost 3% from 2011 and doesn't—by the way—include the cost of college, which as noted earlier will run about $160,000 for four years at a private, nonprofit college. All in, you're looking at least $400,000 per child. Not surprisingly, some 16% are worried that this cost threatens retirement security.
10. Cost of caring for elderly family members
In the U.S., nearly 10 million adult children over the age of 50 care for their aging parents, according to the MetLife Study of Caregiving Costs to Working Caregivers. In all, one-quarter of adult children, mainly boomers, provide these types of care to a parent, according to the MetLife study. And the total estimated aggregate lost wages, pension and Social Security benefits of these caregivers of parents is nearly $3 trillion, MetLife said. Viewed another way: the cost impact of caregiving on an individual female caregiver in terms of lost wages and Social Security benefits equals $324,044, said MetLife. No wonder that 15% of investors in the NGAM survey are worried about this cost putting a crimp in their retirement plans.

Select Local Merchants
Cheta Chiropractic Day SpaRead MoreAt Cheta Chiropractic & Day Spa, staffers with at least 10 years of experience each pair holistic pampering with the benefits of chiropractic treatment. Their menu tackles beauty standbys such as nail, facial, massage, and waxing services, but veers into territory often untapped by spas with treatments inspired by ancient healing techniques. Therapists ensnare tranquility better than an aromatherapy oil miner with cupping, a Chinese method wherein jars of bamboo or glass safely suction to backs via the heat of ignited contents. Meanwhile, patrons tip in teeters during inversion therapy, a technique that harnesses gravity to realign spines and ease muscles and nerve pressure. Serenity pours from every corner of the space, which flaunts a scarlet waiting area with cushioned wicker chairs and bright lighting. As a tribute to the mythical Emery Board Forest, the silhouette of a barren tree backs the pedicure room's plush black chairs, and an ornate chandelier sheds light on nearby doting.1900 East 27th StSigna Hill, CA US
Alternative Body Maintenance Massage TherapyRead MoreI specialize in deep/soft tissue massage therapy for those needing that massage with a firmer touch. I work with professional and non-profesional athletes that have chronic aches and pains from over worked to tight muscles, stress, tension and just everyday life aches and pains.2275 Redondo AveSignal Hill, CA US
Ziba BeautyRead MoreMore than 25 years ago, Kundan Sabarwal opened the doors of a modest 400-square-foot skincare spa in New Delhi, working diligently to gently and efficiently eradicate her clients' unwanted body hair through a blend of ancient techniques and modern indulgences. With a bit of hard-earned success, Ziba Beauty hopped the pond, eventually expanding to 17 locations in two U.S. states. Each studio embraces American style while retaining its overseas roots, amplifying faces and bodies with traditional Indian cosmetic adornment and hair removal. By rolling small loops of cotton thread over brows and other facial areas, threading specialists can remove pesky fuzz without harming the skin or skipping over fine hairs. For more sizeable zones, Sumita Wax, which was developed in India exclusively for Ziba Beauty, quickly sends errant hairs packing on the face and body. Artistic hands ink bodies with the ornate semipermanent designs of traditional mehndi, or cloak clients in sparkle with intricate art in a choice of 32 glitter mehndi colors and shimmering crystals, readying skin for special events better than a full-body tuxedo tattoo.7551 Carson BoulevardLong Beach, CA US
Daravadee Spa & Massage TherapyRead MoreWhen clients open the door to Daravadee Spa & Massage Therapy, the heady scents of lemongrass and jasmine come flowing past noses before eyes lock onto decorative Thai statues and delicate orchids. Within candlelit treatment rooms, staff members trained in ancient eastern healing techniques employ their skills to soothe muscle tension and purify complexions. Among the therapies offered at Daravadee, yoga-like Thai massage, herbal compresses of tamarind and kaffir leaves, and all-natural spa products set the center apart from other relaxation oases. But Daravadee's most unique offering is guasa. A body-scrub treatment rooted in Chinese healing practices, guasa helps boost circulation and detoxify skin with the help of a wooden sloughing instrument. Each treatment is performed in a private room, ensuring privacy and comfort for clients and their shy backs.Daravadee Spa & Massage TherapyLong Beach, CA US
Beauty & Wellness Day SpaRead MoreBeauty & Wellness Day Spa sends stress packing, giving clients a brief respite from the tensions and routines of everyday life. This escape can take the form of a nourishing facial treatment, leaving visages nourished and radiant as steam cleanses, personalized masks refresh, and chemical peels rejuvenate skin tone. Held within private treatment rooms, massages set muscles adrift on a sea of tranquility using gentle music and subtle aromas to create a calming environment while delivering swedish strokes or focused deep-tissue pressure. Spa packages encourage clients to forget their woes during extended day-trips, that include indulgent combinations of exfoliating body scrubs, wraps, facials, massages, and fifth-grade math quizzes.2126 East BroadwayLong Beach, CA US
La Dolce Vita Spa LARead MoreJust walking distance from the Long Beach Convention Center lies a 2,000-square-foot oasis and two-time MyFoxLA Hot List winner. The historic downtown building houses four separate treatment rooms where aestheticians and massage therapists perform a variety of facials, massages, scrubs, wraps, and manicures. Their menu of international therapies borrows seaweed mud and traditions from France, Italy, India, and the Middle East, and their medical facials are performed under the direction of a board-certified dermatologist. In addition to individual clients who arrive solo for a day of pampering, La Dolce Vita invites groups celebrating birthdays, wedding days, and spa-appreciation days.927 East BroadwayLong Beach, CA US

Scratch (magazine)
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (January 2008)
Scratch was a magazine about the art of creating hip-hop. It featured articles regarding producers, musicians and DJs that make beats for rap records, and details the secret methods, stories, partnerships, philosophies and equipment behind the music. The magazine's tagline was "The Blueprint of Hip-Hop".
Scratch was owned by Harris Publications, the same company that publishes the popular hip-hop magazine XXL, as well as King, Rides and Slam. It debuted in January 2004, and was published bi-monthly. Various hip-hop producers, DJs and rappers have graced their cover, including Dr. Dre, The Neptunes, RZA, Lil Jon, Kanye West, DJ Drama, Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri, Mannie Fresh, Just Blaze and Eminem.
Starting with its March–April 2007 issue, Scratch was relaunched as XXL Presents Scratch. It then operated under the wing of XXL Magazine, with XXL's former Senior Editor, Online, Brendan Frederick, acting as the new editor-in-chief and XXL's current editor-in-chief, Elliott Wilson, overseeing the magazine as the editorial director.
It was announced that the Nov–Dec 2007 issue of Scratch (with Timbaland and 50 Cent on the cover) would be the final issue of the magazine. Harris Publications folded the magazine for unknown reasons. A Scratch blog can now be found on XXL's website, XXLMAG.COM.

Music Hall of Williamsburg
A Guns N' Roses tribute band playing the Music Hall of Williamsburg seems strange only to those who don't know that Axl is played by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah drummer Sean Greenhalgh. In true form, the imitators-named Mr. Brownstone-have called it quits and subsequently reunited on more than one occasion; as indie darling Greenhalgh once told Pitchfork, "We've claimed to be playing our 'final shows' more often than Axl has claimed that Chinese Democracy is coming out." The latest reunion results in a New Year's Eve gig at Bowery Presents's second-newest space, former hallowed home of Northsix.
8 p.m., $30; 66 North 6th Street, Brooklyn, 212-260-4700
Radio City Music Hall
Following a night at the Fillmore, American jam band Moe offer up another all-ages show on New Year's Eve at the home of the Rockettes. Despite the obvious name recognition, we were surprised to realize we weren't familiar with the melodies of any of Moe's top five songs on iTunes, but we're obviously in the minority. Because they're playing Radio City Music Hall. On New Year's Eve.
9 p.m., $52.50; 1260 Avenue of the Americas, 212-307-7171
Terminal 5
Gogol Bordello (see interview), 9 p.m., $45 in advance, $55 at the door; 610 West 56th Street, 212-260-4700
Trash Bar
If your New Year's plans involve dirt-cheap drinks and blacking out, look no further than Brooklyn's Trash Bar. Free drinks, shots, and-bizarrely-champagne toasts round out a night with local hardcore bands the Gulf of Michigan and Fixer; a low cover ensures that the place will be packed, like it or not.
10 p.m., $7; 256 Grand Street, Brooklyn, 718-599-1000
