yes warlocks are certainly much better these days, and having something like plate(s) or shatter up your sleeve as well as easy magic damage through empower weapon I think makes a big improvement to life expectancy.
Similarly grey knight could be potent with the inclusion of some spirit invis/spirit shield innates.
As I said before the amount of times you fight 'just blokes' is very small so having something in your back pocket to even up the disadvantages of using a b class weapon is really needed.
I've got 5K of b class monk and the lack of supernatural damage and defences is my main downfall and getting there was a real slog at times, conversely I have 2k of b class warlock who was much more enjoyable to play.
I think the issue with a Kenzi is that they don't really have any progression that makes them unique, 1st class warriors can buy a lot of what they can do and be in more life and still m/c wizard or something in the future.

Scott Boos at the Alliance for American Manufacturing has published an analysis of Congressional efforts to boost domestic clean energy technology and producton...
Yesterday, the House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing to "examine the effectiveness of current energy tax policy." The focus of the hearing was on how the U.S. could contend with China and European countries that are racing ahead in the competition to build manufacturing capacity for clean energy industries, such as wind, solar, and batteries.
Dr. Joseph Romm at the Center for American Progress testified that China is a leading manufacturer of photovoltaic cells, second only to Japan, and it was set to be the world's leading manufacturer of wind turbines by the end of 2009. He also highlighted a March study by the Pew Charitable Trusts, that found that China was outspending the U.S. in clean energy by $34.6 billion to $18.6 billion in 2009.
Mr. Matt Rogers, Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Energy, testified that the U.S. has a relatively small share of manufacturing capacity for clean energy goods:
"In 2008, the U.S. had 16% of global wind manufacturing capacity (5.4 gigawatts (GW) in the U.S. out of 33 GW worldwide), 6% of global solar manufacturing capacity (0.5 GW out of 9 GW worldwide), and less than 1% of global battery manufacturing capacity."
Mr. Rogers and Treasury Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy Michael Mundaca testified that progress is being made due to clean energy investments made in the Recovery Act, but that more funding would be needed to fully realize our potential for job creation.
For example, the $2.3 billion in so-called 48c tax credits for investments in advanced energy manufacturing facilities are supporting 183 projects in 43 states. However, the program was oversubscribed by a 3:1 ratio. The President has proposed an additional $5 billion for 48c tax credits to support at least $15 billion in total capital investments.
The risk of inaction was highlighted by Committee Chairman Sandy Levin:
"We have to make certain this demand is satisfied with goods produced in the U.S. If we are not aggressive about expanding our green manufacturing capacity, these manufacturing jobs will be created overseas and the United States will become more reliant on products that are produced outside of our borders."
Yet, while billions of dollars are being invested to create demand for clean energy manufactured goods, the Alliance for American Manufacturing believes that simply throwing money at the issue is not enough. Strong domestic content requirements are needed to maximize job creation associated with incentives for clean energy production. Americans have been frustrated to learn that our efforts have resulted in the creation of manufacturing jobs in China and elsewhere.
• West Texas Wind Farm. In October 2009, a consortium of American and Chinese companies announced a deal to build a $1.5 billion, 36,000-acre wind farm in west Texas, relying solely on imported Chinese turbines. Company officials said they planned to collect $450 million in taxpayer support to subsidize the project that is estimated to create dozens of permanent jobs in the U.S. and thousands of manufacturing jobs in China.
• BP solar. In March 2010, BP announced the closure of its solar panel manufacturing facility in Frederick, MD. It intends to shift production to China and India to gain access to cheap labor. BP recently applied for taxpayer financial assistance for a proposed 32 megawatt solar-power generation plant on land belonging to the Energy Department's Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York.
Without properly designed tax and investment incentives for clean energy generation, loan guarantees for nuclear reactor construction, and other federal supports, our efforts to rejuvenate our manufacturing base could be unseated by subsidized imports from countries seeking to capitalize on new demand for clean energy products in the United States, such as wind turbines and solar panels.
Congress should continue to enact and enforce strong domestic sourcing requirements for all federal infrastructure investments, including instances when taxpayer dollars are used to incentivize or support renewable energy production.

Kellogg's Stakes Claim To Toucans, Mayan Imagery; Issues Cease-and-Desist To Guatemalan Non-Profit
from the too-bad-the-court-of-public-opinion-doesn't-accept-settlement-offers deptWhen it comes to preventing "morons in a hurry" from mistaking "Unrelated Product or Service X" for "Unrelated Product or Service Y," no one seems to be quicker on the draw than large corporations with nothing to lose but a public relations battle.
Overlawyered points us in the direction of the latest entrant in the Misguided Trademark Defense SweepstakesTM. Kellogg's has apparently decided that the Maya Archaeology Initiative is treading dangerously close to its breakfast cereal turf. A cease-and-desist letter was sent to the non-profit group after Kellogg's discovered MAI's brazen use of a natural, tropical bird in its logo, specifically one with an unusually large nose that may possibly be used to discover the great flavor of fruit. (Or something.) Lowering the Bar has more details:
MAI, a non-profit that supports education for Guatemalan children (as well as archaeology), got a cease-and-desist letter from Kellogg's lawyers in July saying that Kellogg was concerned about an application to use the logo in connection with clothing, given that Sam also appears on clothing. Kellogg said it was also concerned about the use of "Mayan imagery" in the mark, saying that Sam also sometimes appeared in a similar setting.Kellogg's must have some serious doubts about these fast-moving morons if it's truly concerned that children may end up with a shirt featuring the mascot of a non-profit entity rather than a finely crafted Toucan Sam shirt conceived by a marketing department and (possibly) manufactured by children in their same age group. Even more amazing is the fact that Kellogg's feels pursuing a claim against a non-profit group somehow is the right thing to do.
To its credit, MAI seems to be handling the situation well, issuing a solid statement (via Sarah Mott of the World Free Press Institute) pointing out the clear differences between the two toucans:
Mott noted the differences between the two toucans, including coloration, beak shape, and the fact that MAI's bird is based on birds that actually exist in nature. Like other such birds, MAI's bird does not have a name. Also, MAI's logo includes a Mayan step pyramid and is egg-shaped, so it is more than just the bird. MAI doesn't plan to sell cereal, and so "[u]nless either of these toucans or their purposes change, there would be no incentive or reason for MAI to associate with Kellogg" and no likelihood of confusion.
Not only that, but Kellogg's bizarre claim to Mayan imagery (w/r/t Toucan Sam) is also groundless. Mott visited Kellogg's websites to see what sort of "Mayan imagery" it was employing, and came up damn near empty-handed:
Mott said she had looked at Kellogg's websites in an effort to explore this claim. The only imagery she could find that was even "vaguely Mayan," she said, was on the Froot Loops site, which includes a number of "Adventure" games set in various locales. Generic pyramids do appear in one of those, she noted, but there doesn't appear to be anything distinctively Mayan about them.It gets better/worse. Mott points out that the "the only quasi-Maya depicted there is not depicted favorably:"
Disturbingly, the villain in this Kellogg Adventure and its related games -- and the only character who is of color [other than the birds] -- is a "witch doctor" with a cackling screech. Apparently, he is supposed to be a Maya. At best, this is culturally insensitive. I would characterize it as a demeaning caricature of an advanced and ancient civilization about which your game developers know nothing.This situation has led to some other amusing comments. Dr. Estrada-Belli (MAI) stated that Kellogg's claim was "a bit like the Washington Redskins claiming trademark infringement against the National Congress of American Indians." And the MAI itself has released a statement saying that it has "no present intention of directly challenging Kellogg's disrespectful treatment of Mesoamerican indigenous culture."
As it stands now, both parties are in settlement talks, but the stench of trademark-bullying is already starting to descend on Kellogg's vitamin-fortified shoulders. And more evidence continues to amass on the relative "soullessness" of lawyers. You would think that someone on the legal team might say, "You know, there's no way we come out of this looking good" or better yet, "There's no way the Mayan Archaeological Institute is part of this complete breakfast," but, as we've seen here at Techdirt time and time again, the urge to protect "intellectual property" tends to make a mockery of the first word in that phrase.

Hedda Morrison studied photography in her native Germany, and from 1933 to 1938 managed Hartung's Photo Shop in Beijing. From 1938 until she and her husband left China in 1946, Morrison worked as a freelance photographer, selling individual prints or thematic albums of her work and creating photographs for other people's books on China.
Above is a photo of a man sitting idly with two children in the winter sun. It reveals more information than it seems:
"The empty wicker basket suggests that this old man and children are probably from a village outside Peking and have come into the city to trade. On the wall behind the children is a graffiti scrawl written in chalk which represents a play upon the opening words of the Thousand Character Classic (Qianziwen), which refers to the creation of the universe."
The children in the baskets resemble the growth of the lotus flower, it's roots in the earth rising through the water and nourished by the air…beautiful PADMA! – j. quigleyPADMAPANIFlowers in the sky.Flowers on Earth.Lotuses bloom as Buddha's eyelids.Lotuses bloom in man's heart.Holding gracefully a lotus in his hand,the bodhisattva brings forth a universe of art.In the meadows of the sky, stars have sprung up.The smiling, fresh moon is already up.The jade-colored trunk of a coconut treereaches across the late-night sky.My mind, traveling in utmost emptiness,catches suchness on its way home.1976

Nike, Huge IP Proponent, Blatantly Infringes Shawne Merriman's Trademark
from the live-by-IP-law,-die-by-IP-law dept
Let's lay out a couple of things we know. First, trademark is one of the better IP laws out there, ostensibly designed to limit customer confusion between brands (though it's still open to significant abuse). We also know that Nike, maker of all things apparel, firmly believes in the strongest of protections against anyone infringing on any of their intellectual property. We also know that Nike firmly believes that limits on copying sure as hell don't apply to Nike.
But I'm not sure we knew just how brazen they could be. Such appears to be the case when Nike decides to just blatantly use someone else's trademark of which they were absolutely aware.
Former San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman is suing athletic equipment giant Nike in San Diego federal court, alleging unfair competition and trademark infringement of his "Lights Out" brand. The suit, filed by Merriman's company, Lights Out Holdings, LLC, demands immediate injunctive relief to stop Nike's alleged actions, plus millions of dollars in damages. Merriman said he holds the federal trademark for the "Lights Out" brand on a Nike clothing line, which includes a broad range of apparel for men, women and children.We deal a lot with frivolous trademark threats and suits that never appear to amount to much of the customer confusion the law is supposed to address, but this doesn't appear to be one of those cases. We're dealing with Nike using the mark, which Merriman holds, on similar sports apparel and clothes. Merriman is a sports figure whose company produces a clothing line. What makes this most egregious is that Nike was quite aware of the mark.
In late 2006 or 2007, according to the lawsuit, Nike entered into negotiations with Merriman for a "Lights Out" line of apparel. Negotiations between Merriman and Nike were unsuccessful but "after these discussions Nike decided to use the `Lights Out' clothing brand anyway," the suit alleges.How nice of them. I'm sure they would look quite kindly on anyone who decided to just appropriate their infamous swoosh. Hypocrisy, thy name is Nike.

Kubota MX5200
Double tap to zoom
More Powerful and Clean Engine
Kubota takes tractor performance to the next level. In response to growing environmental awareness, the new MX engines also employ a Common Rail System (CRS) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) for cleaner emissions that comply with the latest EPA Tier 4 Final emission regulations, and direct fuel injection for better fuel economy.
HST Transmission
Kubota's new MX4800, MX5200 and MX5800 models feature hydraulic servo HST systems that increase pedal responsiveness, and ease on pedal-shifting for smooth performance and improved control, regardless of load size. Forward and reverse directional changes are simple. HST also reduces shock, vibration, noise and fatigue to improve tractor performance and operator comfort.
Cruise Control is standard, a great feature for mowing applications; just preset your travel speed then remove your foot from the HST pedal.
Gear Drive Transmission with Synchro Shuttle Shift (MX4800/MX5200 only)
Kubota's Synchro Shuttle Transmission lets you spring into action with smooth control and power. The 4-speed main shift speeds and 2 range-shift speeds (Hi/Lo), give you 8 forward and 8 reverse speeds for the versatility you need to maximize productivity. The shuttle lever is conveniently located at the left side of the seat for quick and easy switching between forward and reverse. It's particularly handy for tasks that require repetitive forward/reverse motions, like front loader work.
Bevel Gear Front Axle
A superior feature that delivers an extremely tight turning radius with full power transfer to the wheels at every steering angle.
High-back Suspension Seat
Work has never been this comfortable. The new suspension seat with a high seatback offers greater comfort and minimal back fatigue even after a long day's work. The luxurious design is also pleasing to the eye.
New Dash Panel
The newly designed dash panel with larger and easy-to-read gauges and digital LCD panel with parking indicator provide all the vital information you need for your MX tractor, including ECU and fault code management.
Operator Comfort
Kick back, relax, and get working. The full-flat deck enables safe and easy mounting/dismounting, and the 30 spacious inches between fenders gives you all the room you need to work in comfort. In addition, the easy-to-operate hanging pedals optimize legroom.
Easy Handling and Maneuverability
Traveling from site to site has never been easier. Both 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive models come equipped with a smooth, easy-turn, hydrostatic power steering. Their ideal size and tight turning radius make maneuvering in tight spots a breeze. The brake pedals for HST models are located on the left side for easier operation and smoother turning.
Engine Throttle
The handy engine throttle is conveniently positioned next to the steering wheel. Throttle up easily when you need that extra power to get out of tight situations or when hauling that extra load.
Electric-Over Hydraulic PTO Switch
Our new PTO switch makes PTO operation easier than ever. Conveniently located on the right side console, Push and turn starts and one push stops the PTO.
One-piece Hood and Halogen Headlights
The newly designed slanted hood, and new halogen headlights provide a more powerful appearance and better visibility. The full-opening one-piece hood is made from steel for added strength and features hydraulic dampers for easier opening, so you can perform routine maintenance quickly and efficiently.
Easier Cleaning and Maintenance
The new MX Series is designed to make daily maintenance easy. For fast cleaning, the radiator screen can be removed from either side of the tractor. The air filter, battery, tray, and coolant recovery tank are readily accessible.
Large Fuel Tank
The new MX fuel tank is now larger with an ample 13.5 gallons capacity, so you can operate longer with less fill ups.
Grill Guard
The grill guard provides a robust level of protection and easily tilts forward for opening the hood.
3-Point Hitch
The powerful Category II 3-Point Hitch is convertible to Category I easily handles correctly matched Implements. Rigid link ends are standard on the MX4800 and MX5200F models, with telescoping link ends and stabilizers on the MX5200 and MX5800 4WD models, such a great feature. An upgrade kit is available for the MX4800 and MX5200F 2WD models. The telescoping lower links make hooking up and working with large implements easier.
Draw Bar
The newly adopted drawbar has a 1.3 inch drawbar pin hole that accepts a standard size 1.25" drawbar pin.
Cup Holder
To help you stay hydrated, the convenient cup holder will always keep your beverage within easy reach.
Tool Box
A large tool box is located right behind the operator's seat for easy access. Models with the backhoe will have the tool box above the left fender, next to the operator's seat

Here's an extract from the abstract:
The mere presence of your smartphone reduces brain power, study shows
- Date: June 23, 2017
- Source: University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin)
- Summary: Your cognitive capacity is significantly reduced when your smartphone is within reach — even if it's off — suggests new research.
"The findings suggest that the mere presence of one's smartphone reduces available cognitive capacity and impairs cognitive functioning, even though people feel they're giving their full attention and focus to the task at hand. "We see a linear trend that suggests that as the smartphone becomes more noticeable, participants' available cognitive capacity decreases," Ward said. "Your conscious mind isn't thinking about your smartphone, but that process -- the process of requiring yourself to not think about something -- uses up some of your limited cognitive resources. It's a brain drain.""

Young and Emerging Financial Planners: Frequently Asked Questions
Good with numbers? Enjoy interacting with people? Like to have a positive impact on others? Want to own your own business and gain financial independence? Have an interest in personal finance? A career as a CPA financial planner or Personal Financial Specialist may be right for you! Below you will find answers to some commonly asked questions about this unique career!
Why does being a CPA matter if one can go into personal financial planning without being a CPA?
The CPA has garnered the reputation of the most trusted advisor, and clients are more willing to work with a CPA as a recognized professional. CPAs bring objectivity to the financial planning process yet are still able to advocate on the client's behalf as financial planners. Because of licensing requirements, CPA financial planners and Personal Financial Specialists (PFS) are required to have a broad base of knowledge, including an ethical component, which is more comprehensive and well-rounded compared to other types of financial planners.
What types of client cases might a CPA financial planner work on?
CPA financial planners and Personal Financial Specialists are in the unique position to build long-lasting relationships with clients, making a difference in their lives and getting to know them beyond the financial statements. They help clients navigate technical issues like tax consequences of property exchanges and retirement planning which can be stressful transactions or events for people. They coach clients and help them attain a satisfying quality of life, which goes beyond the numbers. Each day for a CPA financial planner is different and each client has a unique situation.
What are some specialty areas in the area of personal financial planning? How do you ensure a well-rounded financial plan?
Personal financial planning itself is a specialty area. As a young professional, you can focus on several areas of financial planning as a holistic planner to ensure a well-rounded plan for your clients. These areas include estate, retirement, income tax, risk management and investments.
How did you learn to be a CPA financial planner?
There are three components to gain competence in personal financial planning: education, experience and understanding the business. First, make an investment in yourself and your education. The AICPA PFP Section offers education opportunities in the form of PFP Boot Camp, self-study education, webcasts, and conferences. Second, gain the experience – do as many financial plans as possible. Work on developing your soft skills – listening is among the most important of these! Third, the best way to learn and understand the business is by engaging with CPAs who have been successful. A pre-conference day-long workshop is offered at the AICPA PFP Conference each year and focuses on the various business models that have worked for CPAs in financial planning.
Take advantage of networking opportunities in your state CPA society and the Advanced PFP Conference.
Is there coaching or are there courses that you can take to develop confidence when engaging with clients or prospects?
You can develop your confidence when engaging with clients, both in technical expertise and in soft skills. To develop your technical expertise, take advantage of PFP Boot Camp, self-study education, webcasts, and conferences. Many CPA financial planners find that the AICPA Advanced Personal Financial Planning Conference is very valuable in providing them with strategies and cutting-edge information to keep them on top of their game.
To develop your soft skills, volunteer to help those in your local community understand their personal finances through every stage of life via financial literacy efforts using materials made available through 360 degrees of Financial Literacy. Alternatively, hold a learning session for professionals in your office on a topic you are particularly passionate about – it not only shows initiative, but teaching is the best way to learn because you have to understand it first.
In addition, Broadridge Advisor contains a library of customizable, high impact presentations written by CPAs and lawyers to help you build long-lasting relationships with clients, and find planning opportunities.
Learn more about media opportunities through being a spokesperson, available training at the AICPA Advanced Personal Financial Planning Conference and through your state CPA society.
How do you handle the stigma of being a new CPA financial planner who does not have years of experience?
The good news is that most clients do not consider age as an impediment to being a good CPA financial planner; it is more often our own CPA self-perception that age is correlated with experience and competence. But just in case you run into that one client, go the extra mile to dress, communicate and act in the highest professional manner. Demonstrate your energy and enthusiasm and be proactive in making yourself a better financial planner to then help your clients.
A good response to someone who says something like, "You're so young, do you even know what you're doing yet?" is to treat youth as an asset and advantage, replying politely with something like, "Don't you want to work with someone for the next 30 years who won't be retiring before you do and who is young and enthusiastic about the profession and building a career and can use the knowledge to best help you?"
Build rapport with your clients by saying, "I don't know, but I'll find out for you," if you really don't know the answer to a client's question.
After getting an education in personal financial planning, where would you look for a position in a CPA firm using your PFP and investment skills?
There is no right path – it can be different for everyone. That's what is so great about being a CPA financial planner, the infinite possibilities your career can follow. Stay connected and network not just with other financial planning professionals or CPAs, but with estate planning attorneys, insurance specialists, and any other expert you can think of working with on a client's financial plan. Talk to people who are in the shoes you want to be in; CPA financial planners are willing to mentor and foster the future of their profession. And finally, don't be afraid to go out on your own to start a practice if that is your dream.
I'm already a CPA with a number of years of experience in tax, what do I need to obtain the PFS credential?
To help you get started on the PFS credential, we have put together a series of pages to walk you through the requirements. We start with the examination qualifications. Often as you prepare for the examination, you will meet the education needs. After looking at the education requirements, we'll walk you through the experience qualifications. Click here to get started.
What is the difference between the CFP and the PFS? What are the benefits of having the PFS credential?
The PFS, unlike other certification programs, is awarded only to CPAs who are members of the AICPA. Accordingly, this credential represents the highest professional standards of any financial planning credential and sets the PFS credential holder apart from other financial planners. Becoming a PFS also means that you have access to all of the PFP Section member benefits plus additional opportunities as media spokespersons and the Business Development Toolkit.
My firm doesn't support personal financial planning services, how do I gain the experience for the PFS credential if there is no one to teach me?
You can practice on friends and family, provide services to employees and partners of the firm, or even do mock financial plans for current client cases. Joining a study group may also afford you the opportunity to work on case studies with experienced financial planners. And finally, consider connecting with an outside advisor to develop a mentor relationship.
Where can I find more information on the CPA/PFS Program?
I'm a CPA working in a tax department, what is the best way to approach tax clients about expanding services to include personal financial planning?
The tax return is a great spring board into financial planning services. The AICPA Advanced Personal Financial Planning Conference offers a session on how to develop planning opportunities from a tax return as well as how to approach clients with these opportunities. The conference also offers a day-long pre-conference workshop that helps CPAs add PFP to an existing practice.
I'm already a CPA and I have an interest in personal financial planning, but my experience is in audit or industry – not tax or related area of personal financial planning, what is the best way to transition careers?
Personal financial planning uses many of the skills you acquire as a CPA, but you must supplement that knowledge with learning opportunities related to personal financial planning. Transitioning to a new career of any kind has its rewards and obstacles. Follow your passion and put in the time to build a solid foundation of education and experience. And start saving money in case you decide to open your own practice one day!
One step in the right direction is to obtain the PFS credential. To help you get started, we have put together a series of pages to walk you thru requirements. We start with the examination qualifications. Often as you prepare for the examination, you will meet the education needs. After looking at the education requirements, we'll walk you through the experience qualifications. Click here to get started.
How much experience should you have as a CPA before you are considered a great financial planner?
There is no exact formula. A CPA could move into financial planning very early in their career and then focus on building their expertise in financial planning specifically. Others do this after many years as a CPA, having built a practice and then want to move in a new direction. If you feel it's your calling, the sooner the better.
Are CPAs who provide personal financial planning services regulated by the SEC or other regulatory bodies? What is the best way to learn and comply with these regulatory requirements?
The short answer is, it depends. CPAs who are providing personal financial services (including tax, estate, retirement, investment and/or insurance planning) to their clients are in an optimal position to add investment advisory services to their business, but many CPAs do not enter into this line of business because they believe the regulatory issues are too complex to navigate. They could be governed by the SEC or by their state, but then there are definitions, exemptions and thresholds to consider. You can see how quickly the issue gains complexity. To give clarity, the Regulatory section of the PFP Practice Center can provide you with a broad overview of some of the issues you will face in this area.
What types of business models and fee structures exist for a CPA performing personal financial planning services?
CPA financial planners can provide services through a variety of business models – most CPAs choose to provide financial planning for an hourly or retainer fee and if crossing the line in terms of providing investment advice, register as an investment adviser and create an RIA (registered investment adviser entity) . Compensation models could be arranged as a fee-only, commission-only or a blend. You can find more information on business models in the PFP Practice Center.
Many planners say there is a large investment of time in each client. How do you balance client time with the compensation and how do you address the issue of scalability?
There can be a large investment of time for each client to provide personal financial planning services. In some practice models, you can manage investments and have a minimum size client that equates to a minimum fee in order to be compensated for the time spent on the clients. There are other practice models that may work as well. For example, if you establish a niche where clients have similar needs, you can leverage your technical knowledge across more clients and less time necessary to research. You can find more information on business models in the PFP Practice Center.
What are the advantages of providing personal financial planning services in metropolitan areas and rural areas?
One of the advantages of providing financial planning in a large city is the size of the potential client base; the down-side is that the market is probably saturated with personal financial planners. On the other hand, being a personal financial planner in smaller cities and towns means that there is less competition and the community probably needs a quality CPA financial planner to provide such services.
What are some common roadblocks that new professionals face as they try to develop a personal financial planning practice?
If you are already involved in tax, finding time during tax season to respond to client financial planning needs can be difficult. The opportunity exists to identify financial planning needs for these clients since you already have a trusted relationship by meeting their tax return needs. Much can be learned about financial planning needs from a client's tax return. One way to overcome this obstacle is to gradually move from tax emphasis to financial planning emphasis while building your personal financial planning practice.
One of the benefits of becoming a PFP Section member is access to web events that tackle practice management issues, like these:
- From Tax Advisor to Wealth Management Advisor: The Road Best Traveled presented by Lyle Benson, CPA/PFS & Jerry Love, CPA/PFS
How do I gain experience in investments?
The AICPA Advanced Personal Financial Planning Conference has teamed up with IMCA, the Investment Management Consultants Association, and the CFA Institute, to present an investment management track at the conference. Additionally the PFP Section has teamed up with The American College and Kier to provide additional education opportunities in six areas of financial planning, including investments.
What are some useful websites or periodicals that I can use to stay abreast of personal financial planning issues?
The AICPA PFP Section has a number of publications that provide centralized and synthesized information on the most timely and relevant personal financial planning topics.
- PFP News: A weekly member communication providing you with exclusive access to upcoming events, regulatory updates, Broadridge Advisor alerts and other valuable information related to the PFP Community.
- Inside Information from Bob Veres: A leading information source for the elite of the financial planning/financial services profession.
- Financial Planning Digest: An e-newsletter to update you on trends, news, legislation and events of interest to CPAs who practice in the areas of tax, estate, retirement, investments and insurance. Guidance on Roth IRA Conversions
- Stay up to date on current rules and regulations, critical topics and how to implement Roth conversions and recharacterizations into your planning.
- BroadridgeAdvisor: A library of customizable, high impact presentations written by CPAs and lawyers to help you build long-lasting relationships with clients, and find planning opportunities.

DENVER (AP) — Medical and recreational marijuana may be legal in Colorado, but employers in the state can lawfully fire workers who test positive for the drug, even if it was used off duty, according to a court ruling Thursday.
The Colorado Court of Appeals decision found there is no employment protection for medical marijuana users in the state since the drug remains barred by the federal government.
"For an activity to be lawful in Colorado, it must be permitted by, and not contrary to, both state and federal law," the appeals court stated in its 2-1 conclusion.
The ruling concurs with court decisions in similar cases elsewhere and comes as businesses attempt to regulate pot use among employees in states where the drug is legal. Colorado and Washington state law both provide for recreational marijuana use. Several other states have legalized medical use. Police departments have been especially concerned since officers are sworn to uphold both state and federal laws.
The Colorado case involves Brandon Coats, 33, a telephone operator for Englewood, Colo.-based Dish Network LLC. Coats was paralyzed in a car crash as a teenager and has been a medical marijuana patient in the state since 2009.
He was fired in 2010 for failing a company drug test, though his employer didn't claim he was ever impaired on the job.
Coats sued to get his job back, but a trial court dismissed his claim in 2011. The judge agreed with Dish Network that medical marijuana use isn't a "lawful activity" covered by a state law intended to protect cigarette smokers from being fired for legal behavior off the clock. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, more than half of all states have such laws.
Dish Network did not return a call seeking comment.
Coats answered the door Thursday at his Denver home but said he wanted to talk to his lawyer before commenting.
His attorney, Michael Evans, issued a statement saying the ruling has wide implications for Colorado marijuana laws.
"This case not only impacts Mr. Coats, but also some 127,816 medical marijuana patient-employees in Colorado who could be summarily terminated even if they are in legal compliance with Colorado state law," Evans noted.
The ruling is expected to be appealed.
Morgan Fox, spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project in Washington, called it a setback.
"It's unfortunate, considering how much support there is for medical marijuana, that employers don't see this like any other medication," Fox said.
The Marijuana Policy Project said the ruling appears to be limited to state law because it does not fall under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.
Judge John Webb dissented in the split decision, saying he couldn't find a case addressing whether Colorado judges should consider federal law in determining the meaning of a Colorado statute.
Marijuana supporters say the courts are discriminating against them because Colorado's Lawful Off-Duty Activities law protects workers being fired for legal behavior off the clock, citing cigarette smoking as a protected activity.
The Washington state Supreme Court also has found that workers can be fired for using marijuana, even if authorized by the state's medical marijuana law.
Last year, a federal appeals court ruled against a cancer survivor fired from his job at Wal-Mart in Battle Creek, Mich., after failing a drug test for marijuana. Joseph Casias had a medical marijuana card and said he used pot to alleviate symptoms of an inoperable brain tumor.
According to the Marijuana Policy Project, the California Supreme Court also has ruled that people could be fired for testing positive for marijuana. The Legislature passed a bill to change that in 2008, but it was vetoed.

George Clooney's first film of 2010, "The American," got a poster yesterday, and it packs a ton of promise for a '60s- or '70s'-style thriller.
With its burnt amber background, clean text, and Clooney atilt over a woman's face and overall starkness, the poster evokes some classics like "Blow-Up," "Bullitt," "Easy Rider," "Get Carter," "Klute," "Magnum Force" and "The Conversation," which seems to also share a similar psychological sensibility.
"The American," based on Martin Booth's novel "A Very Private Gentlemen," stars Clooney as an assassin hiding out in a small Italian village who falls a beautiful woman while awaiting an assignment. He eventually tells his handlers he wants out -- "Consider it your last assignment, you won't even have to pull the trigger," a voice on the phone assures him.

The day's top national and international news.
Former music video director Anton Corbijn, who earned high praise for his debut feature film, "Control," about Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis, is behind the camera, working from a script by Rowan Jofffe, the man who penned "28 Weeks Later."
The story sounds like your standard "aging killer coming to grips with his life" story, but judging from the trailer and with Corbijn directing and Clooney rocking his "Michael Clayton" vibe, we've got hopes for it being genre film done right.

Orvis women's clothing is sized for real women to wear in active, real life situations. We create each piece with a body's natural range of motion in mind. We field-test our original designs on associates of all sizes and shapes to ensure that our pieces comfortably flatter a variety of figures. Because we only sell what we would be proud to give or wear ourselves, we are passionate about creating the highest-quality, best-fitting, and most versatile styles for you.
Women's Petite Clothing Sizes:Many of our Women's styles are available in Petite lengths. Your height will determine which length you choose (5'4" and under). For the Petite pants customer, we have reduced the rise measurement and inseam. For all styles, the body widths have been reduced slightly.
Our pants come in three fits.
Our skirts are measured from the top of the waistband.
Find your hat size easily!
Using a cloth measuring tape, measure around your head at the point at which your hat normally rides (approximately 1" above your ear). If your measurement is between two hat sizes, order the larger size.
Your hat should fit securely, but not tightly—if you shake your head back and forth vigorously, the hat should stay put. The same goes for bending forward: if you bend down, your hat shouldn't slip off. Make sure, though, that your hat doesn't bind or pinch. If it does, we recommend you exchange it for the next larger size.
a. Hat Sizes: Using a flexible/soft tape measure, start 1" above the ear. Follow around head staying 1" above the ear. This will give your most accurate reading. Then refer to the chart for size.
b. Bust/Chest: Wrap a tape measure evenly around the fullest part under your arms.
c. Waist: Wrap tape around your natural waistline.
d. Seat/Hip: Standing with your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hip (approx. 7-8" below the waist). Don't forget to keep the tape level.
e. Inseam: Best taken from an existing pair of pants you like. Measure along the garment inseam from the crotch seam to the hem.
f. Glove Hand: Measure all the way around the flat part of your hand, excluding the thumb, and around the widest part at the knuckles. Use the chart above to convert this measurement in inches to your corresponding glove size.
Because size measurements can vary dramatically across the marketplace, it can be hard to know your best fit. Our Customer Service experts are here to help. Just chat, email, or call 888-235-9763 for the actual garment measurements of any item we sell.

It is bonded to the fibers using BugsAway®'s patent-pending process that transforms ordinary clothing into comfortable insect protection.
BugsAway is registered by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA registration process is designed to evaluate a proposed product to ensure it will not have adverse effects on humans or the environment. BugsAway has been evaluated at multiple levels—the chemistry, the application process and the final consumer product. The end result was BugsAway receiving the first-ever EPA registrations for insect-repellent clothing and gear.
BugsAway's protection is invisible, odorless and as easy as putting on your clothes. Unlike traditional repellents, BugsAway products cannot be misused or over applied and do not require re-application. The BugsAway line of clothing offers head-to-toe protection and has grown to include new lightweight, breathable separates for warm climates.
