Under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA), the federal gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax exemptions of $5 million for individuals and $10 million for married couples (subject to an inflation adjustment) were made permanent, as was portability for the estate and gift tax exemptions. As a result of portability and the increased exemptions, it's estimated that less than 0.2 percent of all estates will now be subject to federal estate tax.1 With fewer clients in need of transfer tax planning, estate-planning attorneys find themselves re-positioning and re-evaluating their practices.
A natural transition for the estate-planning attorney is to elder law. Once considered the poor stepchild of estate planning, elder law is now featured at prominent national estate-planning conferences, such as The Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning—something that would have been unheard of a few years ago. But, before we rush to bifurcate our practices into tax planning for clients with assets above the exemption levels and elder law for clients with assets below the exemption levels, it's important to focus on the various areas of estate planning that have little to do with the size of a client's estate, which remain unchanged and are equally important to all clients—big and small.
What's it All About?
Estate planning is, and has always been, about helping our clients reach their goals. One of the greatest lessons we learned as estate planners was when a prospective client (who's now also a close friend) responded to our request at an initial meeting to list his "assets." The client proceeded to name each of his seven children and 20 grandchildren; not his substantial business and real estate holdings. His family members were his treasured assets and the reason he was engaging in estate planning.
The purpose of estate planning has been described as facilitating "the effective transfer of an appropriate amount of financial assets to succeeding generations of family members in a way that will improve their life course."2 However, at its most basic level, the fundamental purpose of estate planning is to help clients achieve their wishes—whether that's helping them provide for and take care of their most cherished "assets" or fulfilling their charitable and social missions. Often encompassed within clients' estate-planning wishes is reducing all taxes (not just estate, gift and GST taxes), protecting assets from their future creditors and from the future creditors of their beneficiaries, eliminating estate disputes, promoting family harmony and allowing for the successful transition of family businesses and wealth to the next generation. These necessary areas of estate planning are diverse and require a multi-faceted approach and skilled counsel.
Digging Beneath the Surface
As we're well aware, each client's wishes and goals are unique. In today's information age, clients are better educated and will often come to our offices with preconceived notions of what they want in their estate-planning documents. Our role, however, isn't simply to act as a scrivener memorializing the client's directives on paper. Instead, it requires listening to our clients' stated desires, projecting
how they'll play out in the future and inserting our own advice. Our job is to help our clients formulate more thoughtful, developed and achievable goals and to use our experience and expertise to help implement them.
To accomplish this task, we must consider the practical and psychological impact of the planning on the client and his family. For example, if a client tells us that he wishes to name his children as trustees of each other's trusts, we should ask the client whether maintaining a good relationship between his children after his death is important to him. If so, the client should consider naming another trustee, so as not to put his children—who may eventually be in different financial positions and have different attitudes towards spending—at odds with each other. Of course, forcing siblings, even ones who may have similar philosophies, to work together may cause all sorts of future issues.
We must also take into account the tax implications and creditor vulnerability of a client's plan. For example, if a client states that he would like his children to receive their inheritances outright at age 30, we should inquire whether he would like a child's divorcing spouse and other future potential creditors to have access to the inheritance and for it to be subject to estate tax in his child's estate. If the client wishes to avoid these potential issues, he should consider naming the child as a co-trustee of his own trust at age 30, with the right to appoint additional trustees or remove and replace his co-trustee with an unrelated party, and giving the "friendly" co-trustee the right to distribute the assets to the child at any time it makes sense to do so.
As illustrated by these two common examples, to be effective estate planners, we must dig beneath the surface of a client's initially stated directives and challenge them. As such, we must be well-versed in both the tax and non-tax aspects of estate planning. We must be able to spot the issues and potential planning opportunities and enlighten our clients as to viable alternatives, including predicting and assessing their chances of success.3 We need to think outside the box and ask the tough questions. It's our responsibility to bring these skills to the table in advising our clients, and failing to do so puts our planning on par with that of Legal Zoom.
Income Tax Savings
Unlike estate tax planning, for which our clients never personally reap the benefits because they're not alive when the tax savings are achieved, income tax planning is a relief experienced in real time by clients adding money to their pockets each year. As such, clients are, typically, much more willing to pay for guidance to save income taxes, as they personally realize the benefit. This generalization is often true for clients with assets both above and below the federal estate exemption levels.
For example, many clients living in states with high income tax rates, including those clients with a moderate net worth, will move or retire to states, such as Florida, to avoid state income taxes. Helping those clients successfully leave the high tax jurisdiction remains an important role of estate planners. When a client declares, "I am officially a Florida resident, I just filed my tax return," it isn't a fait accompli, but rather a signal to the estate planner that careful planning is needed to ensure the client is in a position to withstand an audit from the state that he's fleeing. Many states, desperate for revenue, don't let their taxpayers go without a fight.4 Often, residency audits hinge on key facts, such as the number of days spent outside of the state, a change of driver's license and no permanent place of abode in the prior home state, as well as more subtle details, like moving treasured keepsakes to the low tax state, joining social clubs or houses of worship and voting there. Effective communication and advice to the client by experienced counsel helps ensure that a client will be successful in saving on state income taxes.
Additionally, for those residents of high income taxing states, such as California, New Jersey and New York, who don't want to physically relocate, there are planning opportunities to save on state income taxes through establishing non-grantor trusts for income tax purposes in states with no state income taxes, like Alaska, Delaware, Nevada and South Dakota. Although these trusts are now subject to higher federal income tax rates on ordinary income (39.6 percent after a modest level of ordinary income, plus the 3.8 percent Medicare tax on unearned income), they typically provide overall tax saving due to the avoidance of state and city taxes. Of course, these trusts don't make sense in all cases. For example, this planning doesn't generally work to save state income taxes for assets, such as real estate, which are physically located in the taxing state, and will be ineffective when beneficiaries living in high tax states require distributions of income, because those distributions will be subject to income tax by the beneficiary's home state if paid out in the year the income is earned. It's the estate planner's role to consider these options and advise their clients of the opportunities to save on state and city income tax when the appropriate situations present themselves.
With the increased federal estate tax exemptions, it's expected that in 2013, only 3,000 estates out of the 2.5 million citizens who pass away will be subject to estate taxes.5 In addition to the increase of the highest income tax rate to 39.6 percent and the new 3.8 percent Medicare tax described above, under ATRA, the capital gains rate has also increased to 20 percent for most taxpayers, and many deductions have been limited or phased out. As a result, the focus in many estates has moved away from saving on estate taxes and toward minimizing income tax exposure.
From an economic perspective, there are many instances in which an overall tax savings is achieved by leaving an asset in the estate or even transferring it back into the estate to achieve a step-up in basis. In estates with assets below the federal exemption levels, the step-up in basis is very valuable. For the first time, we find ourselves pulling assets back into the estate and turning the Internal Revenue Service's arguments against them to cause estate inclusion on previously transferred assets through claims of retention of income, control and usage and by failing to respect the legal documents and corporate formalities.6
Even for clients with assets above the federal exemption levels, it's necessary to compare the estate tax cost against the future income tax liabilities through the use of number crunching programs (formerly our pencils and calculators). Analysis of the income tax calculations isn't always straightforward, particularly with complicated assets with low or negative bases, such as real estate investments in partnerships and shares of S corporations.7 And, for those clients who live in states with estate tax exemptions well below the federal levels, such as New York, additional analysis is required, and, quite surprisingly, even in those states, the state estate tax rate is often much lower than the combined federal and state (and possibly city) capital gains tax rates.
Practitioners with clients for whom it doesn't make sense to bring assets back into the taxable estate for the future income tax savings should look for opportunities to maximize the client's ability to get a step-up in basis. For example, practitioners should periodically review previously funded grantor trusts to see if it makes sense for the grantor to transfer cash or other high basis assets to the trust in exchange for low basis assets from the trust. This reversal of the sale to the grantor trust doesn't increase the gross estate, yet ensures a step-up for a low basis asset. Similarly, using joint revocable trusts for married couples should be considered to ensure the estate of the first spouse to pass away will receive a step-up in basis on the entire trust corpus without any increase to the taxable estate.8
Business Succession Planning
Almost 80 percent of business owners want their families to retain their businesses after retirement, yet very few businesses successfully transition to the next generation.9 This inconsistency is primarily because of family and relationship issues and has little to do with taxes.10 As estate planners, we spend most of our energy doing what we're trained best to do—navigating through the tax laws and implementing planning so that the family business won't need to be sold and will legally pass to the next generation. However, we often fail when working with our clients and their key employees to make sure, from an operational and practical perspective, that the business has the greatest ability to succeed in the next generation. Transferring voting shares and naming a successor manager help address control issues, but they don't deal with the larger and more important business and operational issues, as the statistics prove. Put more simply, what good is our planning if the business fails? With over 90 percent of businesses in the United States considered family businesses, this concept is a vital part of our planning. As estate planners, we should better educate ourselves to understand the reasons most businesses don't successfully transition through the generations and seek ways to help our clients achieve better results with their businesses.11 Once again, this is about helping fulfill our clients' goals by projecting and thinking through the practical effects of our planning.
Asset Protection
Another area in which the size of the taxable estate doesn't matter is asset protection. With more than 15 million lawsuits filed each year (that's a new lawsuit every two seconds for those of you keeping score at home)12 and approximately half of all marriages ending in divorce, we should educate our clients on how to protect their own assets and those they pass on to their beneficiaries from creditors. While a larger estate translates into more assets to protect, clients with smaller estates also want to shield what they have against claims of creditors. For example, explaining and recommending flexible spendthrift trusts when your clients wish to transfer assets to their beneficiaries is a simple, yet effective, means of asset protection for beneficiaries.
Similarly, planning to avoid estate disputes applies to all estates, regardless of size. A universal wish of most clients is for their children to get along well with each other. This desire is so strong that many clients would prefer to die penniless, rather than leave their children fighting over assets. As such, establishing an estate plan to minimize disputes should be central to our planning.
Often, simple adjustments may help avoid disputes among beneficiaries. For example, say a client wishes to benefit one child more than the others. Instead of leaving that child a greater portion under the client's will, the client should consider treating all his children equally under his will and benefiting the one child through a lifetime gift or by naming that child (or a trust for that child) as beneficiary of a non-probate asset. With the face of the will showing no outright favoritism to create jealousies, it's less likely the other children will question the will or the overall estate plan, especially if the lifetime transfer happened many years earlier.
With today's increased life expectancies, but not necessarily sustained mental faculties, an increase in contested guardianships and estate litigation is inevitable, and we should strive to help our clients avoid these pitfalls. Currently, one out of four people who are 65 years old today will live past age 90, and one out of 10 from this age group will live past age 95.13 However, over 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, and over the next three decades, the number of Americans who will have Alzheimer's and other types of dementia will increase by 300 percent to 13.8 million people.14 Combine this aging demographic with an increase in elder abuse15 and the fact that we're currently witnessing the greatest transfer of wealth in history, as the baby boomers inherit assets from their parents and make their own transfers.16 Add into the mix more second and third marriages than ever before (and maybe fourth marriages, if our clients can live long enough) and natural and step-children from these different marriages. The result is an environment rife for conflict, where legal and financial complications abound. To deal with this new reality, the estate planner must not only understand the particular client and family, but also be well-versed in basic psychology and general family dynamics.
International Planning
The world has been shrinking for years, with growing international businesses, the age of technology and information, ease of travel and clients and loved ones living and working in various countries around the globe. Foreign bank accounts, as well as business and vacation properties located in different states and foreign countries are common. With new laws and initiatives dealing with offshore accounts and foreign business interests, as well as complex tax rules and reporting requirements, we must advise our clients on how to properly report these assets and provide them with guidance on how to limit their exposure to both income and transfer taxes.17 This task is especially complicated if we're dealing with several jurisdictions in a given fact pattern, as a structure that works most effectively in one jurisdiction may not work well in another. There will be continued collaboration among professionals in different countries and jurisdictions, and internationally recognized organizations, like the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, which currently has over 18,500 members across 80 jurisdictions, will play an even greater role.
Trusted Advisor
Perhaps the most important role of the estate planner is being the client's trusted advisor. This area of estate planning too has no bearing on whether the client has assets above or below the estate tax exemption levels. Often, the estate planner is the person with the most intimate understanding of the client's family, businesses and investments and understands the client's goals and wishes. The client turns to and relies on him for advice—both legal and non-legal. It's due to this relationship that clients often turn to their estate-planning attorney to serve as a fiduciary or as a key decision maker in their estates, trusts and businesses. Corporate trustees are highly valuable for their vast knowledge, resources, expertise, experience, longevity and accountability, but many clients want their personal attorneys to serve separately or, alternatively, to direct their corporate trustees with respect to distributions, legal issues and business decisions.
Serving in a fiduciary capacity is a tremendous responsibility both under relevant state laws, such as the prudent investor rules and duties of loyalty, and under an attorneys' moral and ethical obligations to carry out their clients' wishes. Attorneys must carefully fulfill these obligations, while also protecting themselves against claims by their clients' beneficiaries.
The Future
Traditionally, attorneys practicing in the trusts and estates field often specialized in specific areas, such as estate administration, estate planning, federal income tax, taxation of individuals and closely held companies, state and local tax planning, asset protection, international planning, charitable planning and tax-exempt organizations. Today, many law firms are moving away from rigid distinctions in trusts and estates departments towards "personal planning" groups, in which attorneys are well-versed in the many different planning areas in which clients have needs and wishes to fulfill.
There's also a shift in the estate-planning practice away from large firms towards smaller or mid-sized firms. With individual clients (even affluent ones) not wanting to pay the same billable rates as multinational corporations, over the past two decades, many large firms have eliminated or significantly downsized their trusts and estates groups. This movement will likely continue with fewer estates in need of transfer tax planning and more in need of elder law planning.
Sophisticated non-attorney advisors will continue to play an increased role in the estate-planning process. Knowledgeable financial planners, insurance agents and other advisors are becoming increasingly erudite in planning outside of products and investments and providing real value to the estate-planning process. These advisors, who don't generally charge by the hour, are keys to successful estate planning and invaluable to both the client and attorney. The team approach is vital due to all the complexities involved and greatly reduces the potential of missing items and opportunities. Also, as attorneys continue to develop and focus on the various non-tax aspects of estate planning, there will likely be expanded collaboration with other advisors and formal courses offered by consultants to educate and train attorneys in the non-legal, yet vital, aspects of estate planning, such as psychology, dispute mediation and resolution, business operations and succession and helping attorneys serving as fiduciaries with back office support.
A Multi-faceted Role
Estate planning goes far beyond saving clients estate taxes or helping them qualify for Medicaid benefits. The role of the estate planner is multi-faceted. We must challenge our clients and work with them to develop and achieve their wishes and goals. We must think "outside the box," be knowledgeable and spot the issues in many different areas to guide them properly.
As long as the future brings with it death and taxes, the estate-planning field will remain very active. However, our roles will continue to evolve, expand and become more complex due to the aging population and all the complications that reality brings, greater focus on income tax planning, increased government scrutiny due to advances in technology and need for revenue, general business globalization, increased estate litigations and need for protections and the tremendous transfer of wealth and businesses that we're now experiencing. This is our difficult mission. Should we choose to accept it, it's a tremendous, but rewarding responsibility.

The Jobuilt Hauler is a tractor trailer truck in Grand Theft Auto V.
The design of the truck is evidently based on that of the Kenworth K100 and of the Peterbilt cab-over trucks. For this reason it heavily resembles the Packer from GTA IV.
The performance is average and the acceleration is rather slow. The Truck has, however, a considerable good top speed even if it is the slowest tractor trailer in Grand Theft Auto V.
The Hauler can be found either with or without a wind deflector on its roof.
- Frequently found driving on the Great Ocean Highway in Paleto Bay.
- Frequently found driving around the Port of Los Santos.
- Found on the side of the northeastern highway on the foot of Mount Chiliad.
- Featured during the mission Scouting the Port.
- Spawns at the Harmony Truck Stop on Joshua Road in Harmony, Blaine County.
- Like most large trucks in the game, shooting one of the gas tanks on the side may cause the vehicle to start fire and/or explode.
- The default radio stations for the Hauler are Los Santos Rock Radio, Vinewood Boulevard Radio and Radio Mirror Park.
- It should be known that black and gasoline green are rare colors for a Hauler to spawn with.
- During the night cycle, the front axle texture becomes brighter, white in colour compared to the other axle textures. (Most common in online multiplayer.)
- It's the first flat-nose cab semi in the series.
- It is the most used commercial truck in GTA Online missions.

I have added several fuse blocks to my schematic and would like to change them to have terminal attributes. I want to be able to I also want to be able to insert them with the other terminals using the terminal strip editor. Right now when I right click on one of them it brings up the insert/edit component dialog. How do I get it to open the Insert/Edit Terminal dialog instead?
You will need to create a terminal block that shows as a fuse.
Easiest way to do this is to open a terminal block, one of the ones that changes the wire number as it passes through would be best.
Now edit the graphics to show a fuse and then move the wire connection attributes to match the ends of the fuse. Remove the connection attributes for the opposing wire direction. For example, if the graphics you place are for a horizontal fuse block, remove the vertical wire connections.
Adjust the position of all the other attributes to suit your needs and add the RATING attribute.
Do a "Save As" and rename the block to something similar to the current terminal block name.
NOTE: You will need to create a vertical and horizontal block for this item.
When you add a fused terminal, you can browse to the location and select the block before adding the fuse details.
It can also be added to the fuse submenu in the the insert component dialog box.
I would recommend that you set up the fuses that use this fuse holder to call the correct part as an assembly item. If you do this you may need to add the fuse carrier (and associated accessories) into the FU table.
Regards Brad
When I create the fuse block as a terminal I loose the Tag1 attribute. Without this I can not figure out how to get my fuse labels automatically with retag/update. If I put it into the block it turns it back into a component instead of a terminal.
I gave up trying to have the TSE handle the Fused Terminal for this very reason. I Insert the fuse with the fuse terminal block as a multiple Catalog item in the schematic and set the Footprint Lookup database to call the fused terminal for the panel side of things. I then modified the Footprint drawing to include the Rating1 value from the fuse.
It actually goes pretty quick as long as you know the width of the terminal and select "Use Uniform Spacing" when inserting a bunch of them in a row.
That is how I typically have handled it too. However, I am using a terminal that is fused on the top layer and sensor input on the middle and bottom layer. I can not associate them together unless I have a fused terminal. I really did not want to represent it as a terminal block. I have seen it done on other schematics in electrical. I just have not been able to duplicate it.
Well, I have created the terminal block that looks like a fuse. Now I am trying to use the attribute mapping feature to copy all my TAG1 attribute values over to TERM1. It seems simple. However, I have not been able to get it to work. Does there need to be a title in the columns? Or does it only work if the original attribute is not a AutoCad electrcial attribute? I have tried it with the Attribute mapping file in .txt, .xls, and .csv format. None of them worked.
If i could only change the standard HDS11FL fuse switch to a terminal i would have everything i need for a AB or Wago terminal fuseblock. Any suggestions?

Women have been the primary decision maker for household purchases for decades and many companies have successfully targeted women for that reason. What's different today that marketers must realize is 1) they are making more money that ever, as Marti Barletta points out with the job loss stats and 2) women have bypassed multi-tasking and are "multi-minding," making it harder than ever for marketers to reach them.
No doubt, women will be the ones to shop us out of this economy. And, there are better ways to reach them with commercial messages. I am so passionate about the topic that I wrote a book on it, Too Busy to Shop, Marketing to Multi-Minding Women. You can learn more about the topic at www.kelleymurrayskoloda.com

Remember, in todays world we are governed by market forces, and if woman takes the front seat in thinking better realise that tomorrow we will be governed by women. And thats good for the humanity for sure.
Brand is very important,but as this article said,"Having a tarnished brand is better than having no brand at all".Sometimes,we have no choice excepting giving up something.
This is great news for women who very much want to be marketed to in an intelligent way, rather than in a patronizing or condescending way. It also gives them more information to really make intelligent choices. Insofar as men pulling back from car companies that neutralize their "muscle car" image in an attempt to sell their cars to women, speaks more to the cultural conditioning of men today and why they feel they think they are viewed as more masculine if they buy a "muscle car". Men need to redefine their place, not only in relation to women, but also with regard to what true masculinity really is. Most women feel true masculinity is the result of maturity; responsibility, sensitivity, respect, protectiveness and wisdom. Not easy!!!
interesting but i agree it won't work.
The practice of targeted marketing seems creepy--as if controlling our minds. I should hope we are smart enough to know that if you don't need it, don't buy it.
I'm sure it is meant to be a comic riff on a famous UK ad campaign of a few years ago, selling bras to women.
I reckon almost anyone who lived in Britain at the time will remember the original slogan without me reminding them...
Capitalism is driven by women. Who are the biggest consumers of the two genders? Women! What drives men to consume more goods/services? Their desire for women! Sex drive keeps the gears of any good consumer-driven society running, and that drive is controlled primarily by women. Without women, men would no doubt have shifted to a more equal, evenly-distributed communist society decades ago.
But then we wouldn't have women...
Gender marketing is always dangerous, especially if it is skewed towards women. If a particular product or service emphasizes its female-orientedness, then it will be very difficult to win over male customers in the future. For example, in some countries the VW Beetle was marketed towards women. That image has stuck and now it has become almost unacceptable for a man to drive that car, even if he actually wants to. The opposite is not always the case; women are not considered weird even if they purchase a huge Harley Davidson or a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Of course women are in charge of 80% of spending...that's why the Western world has massive amounts of consumer debt and China manufactures huge amounts of plastic tat that no-one really wants anymore. Time for the male of the species to regain control of 50% of the purse strings!
Perhaps the analysis is correct, but it is worthwhile to recall how women came to control so much spending in the first place: They were often at home while men had to spend their time working. With men being preferentially laid-off in this economy, perhaps it is time to think about marketing domestic products to housedads. As a longtime member of this formerly rare species, my expertise is available at the right price...

it seems easy to make money from women~
This reads like a news briefing than analysis. I don't see any value in this article at all.
The author of this The author of this article probably should have consulted with some of these experienced marketers before adding the classically demeaning title of "Hello, girls".
I read the article twice, looking for the pun or wordplay that would make this article seem less ridiculous and outdated.
Did I miss some clever tounge and cheek social comentary or has The Economist simply been unable to socially advance beyond the 1950s?
Interesting is to note that how this phenomenon is picking up in India.
Rise in number of female-character centric tele-series is an example of how it is developing as a central selling/marketing theme.
It would be interesting to see if marketing for discretionary saving were also to be targeted at women.
IMO, Porsche selling an SUV was the most conspicuous example of poor marketing I have ever seen. "Brand stretch", as it is called, nearly always has the effect of boosting short-term profits at the expense of destroying the value of the brand.

For September 2008 New Balance brings fresh variations of two classics. The MT580 will come in two designs. The first, scene above, carries over some from the ST33 luggage pack, with a hint of croc material at the heel. The remainder of the shoe mixes deep browns in leather and suede. The second MT580 has bolder colors, but the material interplay is more subtle, focusing on full grain leather. Fabric and suede mingle on the M574, and again bright contrast colors drive the scheme. (Via Freshness).

The majority of New York voters say they are in support of giving municipalities the power to raise their own minimum wages.
According to the Siena College poll, 73 percent support letting cities raise the minimum wage on their own, without state approval.
That idea is strongly opposed by Governor Andrew Cuomo, who says it would create dangerous economic competition between cities.
Mayor de Blasio is in favor of it, saying it would enable him to address the unique challenges facing working families in the five boroughs.
Last year, the state legislature voted to raise the minimum wage statewide from $7.25 to $8 an hour.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Assuming, of course, that pastors actually entertain such questions. Responsibly conducted (on all sides), this could be very edifying, if my limited experience is any indication. And that is the way Jesus & the early church taught anyway.

Mark Kirk (R-IL). SSIA would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to require schools and districts receiving federal funds to adopt codes of conduct specifically prohibiting bullying and harassment, including on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The SSIA would also require that states report data on bullying and harassment to the Department of Education. Additionally, the SSIA would require the Department of Education to provide Congress with a report on the state reported data, along with other specified data, every two years.Continue Reading ►

'Fast & Furious 6' busts out the big biceps
A review of the nonstop action movie "Fast & Furious 6," another pedal-to-the-metal installment in the popular franchise.
Seattle Times movie critic
Movie Review
'Fast & Furious 6,' with Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot. Directed by Justin Lin, from a screenplay by Chris Morgan. 130 minutes. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action and mayhem throughout, some sexuality and language. Several theaters.
Let's cut to the chase. Literally.
That's the aesthetic philosophy behind "Fast & Furious 6," the latest installment in the long-running franchise in which a group of very large men (and a few regular-sized women) drive very fast cars, fast. "Fast Five," in 2011, took the series to a new level by moving into the heist genre and presenting a ridiculously enjoyable sequence in which the gang steals race cars from a speeding train. Do they top this scene in "F&F 6"? No, but really, how could they? No matter what happens in "6," you just want them to do the speeding-train trick again; it's this franchise's legacy. (Mention it to anyone who saw "Fast Five" and watch their eyes light up.)
Otherwise, "F&F 6" works as well as it needs to, with nonstop zippy action (including a late sequence that seems to take place on the world's longest runway) that zooms by so quickly you'renot always sure who you're looking at and whose vehicle they're smashing, but it doesn't really matter.
What matters is the way Dwayne Johnson, wearing a T-shirt so stretched out you know it's on borrowed time, manages to convey likability and charisma through the act of standing around looking intense. What matters is how Vin Diesel purrs all of his lines like an electronic cat, and how his character, the Rasputin of the "Fast & Furious" world, never ever gets killed no matter what ridiculous thing he does (including a flying-through-the-air stunt that had the person behind me asking, "Are you serious?"), and that he's such a tough guy that he plucks bullets from his own flesh without any help from anyone, thanks very much. What matters is the wit that comes from sidekicks Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) and Han (Sung Kang), and that Riley (Gina Carano) shows cleavage even in a military vest, and the way the whole thing feels like you're watching a sped-up TV show on the All-Bicep Channel.
Never mind the plot, which sometimes stretches plausibility as far as that T-shirt. (Paul Walker beating up an entire room full of convicts? Really?) Someone who was dead in a previous movie is now conveniently not dead, and there's a new baby who already seems to be working on his gear-shifting skills, and everyone's a family who takes care of each other, and ... let's just cut to another car chase, OK? That's what this franchise knows how to do, and if that's the kind of popcorn fun you're looking for, "F&F 6" has the goods.

Seeing no "tangible business opportunities" in India, the country's largest private power producer Tata Power is looking at overseas avenues especially in Africa, West Asia, Turkey and South East Asia.
Tata Power managing director Anil Sardana in an interview to PTI also emphasised that international opportunities seem to be moving faster than domestic activities. His comments come at a time when the domestic power sector is grappling with multiple woes, including acute fuel scarcity and poor financial health of electricity distribution companies (discoms).
"At this stage, we are not looking for any tangible business opportunities in India. I don't see anything moving on the fuel side (or) project side," Sardana said.
Tata Power, with an installed generation capacity of 7,700 MW, is also developing the import coal-fired 4,000 MW Mundra plant in Gujarat.
Stressing that there is "nothing tangible" to talk about new projects in the country, Sardana wondered where are the requisite clearances.

This week, we filmed a wonderful short piece in which Bill and I discussed the lack of video games that let us play as actual animals. Unfortunately, Bill's microphone cut out mid-discussion, and the camera's face-tracking started focusing on an animated GIF of some dogs having sex I had up on my monitor behind me. So, here's what we did instead.
Max had to leave early this week to go stay in a horse cottage and attend a zoo wedding or something, so we farted out Dumb Idiot Ideas pretty quickly. I had the idea: what if the Xbox One, with all of its voice recognition, had a parental control that alerted parents when their kids acted like dicks online? Shitty kids are probably the biggest reason I don't do more online multiplayer, and I know I'm not alone in wishing there were some way to curb that nuisance. Enjoy our thoughts, and Max's strained trash-talking.
Marc Whitten, Chief Product Officer of Xbox, joined Microsoft in 2000, helping to build the original Xbox and Xbox Live, and release two subsequent consoles. Microsoft has announced his departure from the company to take the same role at Sonos, which makes speakers and things.
"I have had the extreme pleasure over the last 14 years to work on the greatest product with the greatest team and for the greatest community," Whitten said. "Xbox is so special because of the amazing team I've had the opportunity to work with and because our fans are the most incredible fans on the planet. It has been the highlight of my career to work on a product so loved. It's incredibly tough to leave but I am confident the best days are ahead for Xbox fans, in the capable hands of a very talented team."
Tretton, now Whitten. Crazy times.
The Xbox One has a large variety of launch titles, including shooters, action games, a fighting game, and even a racer. I would contend that this is one of the strongest launch lineups of all time, but you can dig into our full launch coverage and find out yourself.
Here, you'll find a quick rundown of the exclusives launching with the Xbox One, or when to expect coverage (due to embargos or other limiting factors). If you're looking for multi-platform game coverage, you can find it at our PlayStation 4 launch area.
My first encounter with Metal Arms: Glitch in the System came via a banner ad on IGN. Being an impulsive chap who will often be drawn to things simply because they look cool, I was immediately intrigued by the game, which pitted a cute yellow robot against other, less cute robots in battles of such extreme carnage that the game would have been banned had the participants not been made of metal.
I was sold on the concept from the start, and as luck would have it, my instincts were justified, as Metal Arms turned out to be a rather fantastic little game. Witty, brutal and damn challenging, Metal Arms was and is one of my favorite third-person shooters of all time.

Adult men have long struggled to maintain meaningful bonds with other men—but that might be changing.
My father and I were great pals, but I don't recall his ever discussing anything remotely personal with me. (Except when he told me to stop losing weight, and later to stop gaining it.) So you can imagine my surprise when I learned that he—in his mid-60s at the time—had co-started a men's group with about ten others. All successful in their fields, and secure in their marriages, they set out to meet once a month to discuss the stuff of life. Three decades later, a few have divorced and remarried and several (including my dad) have died, but the Tuesday Knights live on.
On the opposite end of the age spectrum, my 19-year-old son works hard at maintaining his extremely close posse. Even while they are off at different colleges, these young men return home and pick up where they left off. Can this be sustained through marriages, careers, not to mention the aches and pains of aging? Are his kid-ships now the Tuesday Knights of the future?
"One reason why boys can stick together in a way men can't is that disparities in achievement haven't begun to make themselves felt," contends Neil, a friend who had a searing "break up" over how much money should be spent on a joint event with his former Ivy League classmate and best friend of 20 years.
It may be true that males, in their wonder years, are capable of true friendship, but squander that ability during the following decades of striving and stress—and that as a result, when the kids are gone, the professional peaks climbed, and the spouse's stories a bore, they are buddy-bereft. When my husband, for example, learns I can't go with him to a sporting event, he gets that deer-in-headlights look. "Who will I ask?" Now, if I have an extra ticket to something, I can easily pluck 20 names out of my contact list.
"It is true that men do not easily show intimacies and revelations of strong emotional responses," says New York psychiatrist Dr. Roger Gould. "It does not mean the relationships are not filled with trust, deep regard and respect, fun, and sometimes crisis support. Men relate to other men quite well, just not the same as women relate to other women."
Related Story
As I conduct my own informal polls, I find that many men—particularly the Boomer and beyond variety—are simply out of practice. Part of this is due to the fact that women are generally the social planners in the house, whether by choice or default.
"Men who do not have male friends often rely too much on their women and expect too much from them," says psychiatrist Dr. John Jacobs, who specializes in couples therapy. Meaning it is not good for the marriage, for starters, and may leave serious emptiness at some point. (Remember in I Love You, Man when the groom couldn't find a best man?) Historian-author Richard Reeves, whose wife of 33 years died this month, revealed on his website that, "I'm not sure I've made a decision without her since the day we married."
When men do get together, it is still often to watch sports, or, if their muscles haven't atrophied, to engage in them. But how often do they get past discussing Brady vs. Manning or the best drives of their day? "When my husband (64) comes back from a day of golfing with a bunch of guys, I ask him specific questions about the others," laughs Myra, a New York non-profit executive. "He will always say he has no idea. I say, 'Well, what did you talk about for five hours?' When I am with my girlfriends, we never stop talking and the curiosity is insatiable."
Yet, there are exceptions, and proof that as men reach a point where the past is longer than the future, they may be ready to go deeper. Television political reporter Jeff Greenfield is among a small group that has been meeting regularly for lunch for decades. (The late film critic Joel Siegel was also a member.) Although they have shared their ups and down, they have each enjoyed success in their fields, which include screenwriting and cosmetic surgery. "I think the lack of competitiveness helps, even if unconsciously," says Greenfield. Gore Vidal once said, "It's not enough that you succeed—your friends must fail.' This is cruel and I hope not really true, but it's probably good that we are not in similar professions. It makes it easy to genuinely root for each other."
