Regulation of Investment Advisors and Investment Advisor Representatives - Additional Information
If a broker-dealer both effects transactions and offers investment advice for special compensation, then he or she must register as an investment advisor as well.
De Minimus: The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 mandates that an investment advisor that has fewer than six clients in a state (in a 12-month period), and has no physical address in the state where the clients are located, is not required to register as an investment advisor in the state in which the clients reside.
The USA also states that an investment advisor is prohibited "from employing an individual who is prohibited from such employment or association by the administrator". Violation of this provision does not result in strict liability. To be liable, the investment advisor must have known or should have known of the administrator's order to the individual suspended or barred.
An investment advisor may conduct business with institutional clients in different states than where it is registered, if:
the investment advisor has no physical address in that state, but is registered in another state.
- the client the investment advisor is providing advice to is an institutional client (i.e. bank, another investment advisor, benefit plans with assets greater than $1 million, and/or government).
- the investment advisor has no physical address in that state, but is registered in another state.
Exam Tips and Tricks
The De Minimus exemption could easily show up on the exam, so remember: for registration exemption, an investment advisor must have fewer than six clients in 12 months and must not have a physical address in the state.
Exam Tips and Tricks
Exam questions will often refer to definitions or regulations for either the USA or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Most of the requirements are similar, but make sure you read the question carefully, since there may be differences. Here are examples of each type of question:
Which of the following are defined as "Investment Advisors" under the USA?
- General circulation newspaper with an Investing column
- Publisher of an investment newsletter that offers specific advice for clients in certain circumstances
- Individual who charges a fee for giving clients advice about securities
- Lawyer who advises a pension client about investments at no charge
Which of the following are defined as federal covered investment advisors? An engineer who provides investment advice for a fee to 20 of his colleagues A stockbroker who gives a free financial plan to her clients An investment advisor whose only clients are insurance companies An investment advisor whose only clients are lawyers I & IV III & IV I, II & III I, II, III & IV
The Federal and State Registration Process
While there are some common exclusions between the two definitions (such as publishers of general investing information and professionals who give incidental advice), there are differences in the definitions. Question 1 is very straightforward and the correct answer is "d". Question 2 is more difficult. The first instinct may be to exclude III & IV, due to the exclusion of professionals. However, there is no exclusion for providing advice to attorneys, only insurance companies, so the correct answer is "a" - the engineer who has more than 15 clients does not qualify for the private advisor exemption and the investment advisor to attorneys also doesn't qualify for exemption.

Josef von Sternberg's The Scarlet Empress (1934) does not show Catherine the Great (Marlene Dietrich) getting amorous in a stable, but the script throws in several teasing allusions to this apocryphal rumor.

One Thing Tony Romo Can't Fumble Away: The Top-Selling Sports Jersey
Forbes this morning guesstimates that some half a million Tony Romo jerseys have been sold this year, would would make the Cowboys QB's No. 9 the top-selling top of 2008, even when you factor in baseball, basketball and that other sport that involves some kind of frozen liquid and a circle made of vulcanized rubber. Also on the Top 10 list of jerseys sold this year: Marion Barber (at N0. 8, with some 100,000 sold) and Terrell Owens, who brings up the rear at 75,000. Still, one must wonder if Jason Witten is jealous. --Robert Wilonsky

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — A Brooklyn mother is praising two NYPD officers who used rescue techniques to revive her baby after he had stopped breathing.
Christine Maresca, 32, said she was feeding her 2-week-old son Michael late Sunday night when he started choking and stopped breathing, WCBS 880's Jim Smith reported.
"It was very scary, it was horrible," Maresca said.
Maresca called 911, desperately asking for help, CBS 2's John Slattery reported.
"He was choking. He couldn't breathe. He was turning color," she said. "I was begging them to please come help, and they did. The police were actually the first to arrive."
Sgt. Michael Dario and Officer Elias Khan had gotten the call and raced to the home on 74th Avenue in Bensonhurst.
"They ran right here, they were here in 5, 10 minutes," Maresca said.
When the officers got to the scene, the boy was unresponsive and his face turning blue, according to the NYPD.
Dario called for EMS while Khan did a finger-sweep of the infant's mouth to make sure his airway wasn't obstructed and then started patting him on the back.
The child began breathing within 10 to 15 seconds.
"They really did a good job," Maresca said. "I don't know, if they had not come; I can't think about that."
The child was taken to Maimonides Medical Center where he is listed in stable condition.
Maresca's mother, who lives upstairs, also praised the officers.
"They did a good job," she said. "I'm glad they came right away. They came very fast."
Maresca said little Michael will remain hospitalized for a few days.

ATLANTA-- The University of Virginia women's tennis team lost to Maryland 5-1 late Friday night in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference women's tennis tournament at the Bill Moore Tennis Center on the Georgia Tech campus.
The Cavaliers, who lost to Maryland 5-4 during the regular season, fall to 13-9 overall. Maryland, winner of four straight matches, improved to 12-9 and advanced to the semifinals for the first time since the single elimination format began in 1990.
The Terrapins closed out the victory without having to play the doubles competition. Stacy Walkowitz defeated Leslie Cook 6-0, 3-6, 7-5 at 4 to clinch the win.
Freshman Christie Schweer, the ACC runner-up at 5, was the only Cavalier to win. She defeated Chrissie Terrill 6-3, 7-6 (6) for her seventh consecutive win. She leads the Cavaliers with a 23-9 record this season.

Watch: protestors swarm Conservative MP's car
Protestors have surrounded the car of Conservative MP David Mundell, who was attending the opening of a foodbank in Dumfries.
They can be heard chanting "shame on you", in the video:
Protestors swarm Mundell's car at foodbank opening
Protestors swarmed around Conservative MP David Mundell's car today, as he opened a new foodbank in Dumfries.
As he attempted to leave the premises through the back door, around 50 people surrounded his car, many with placards criticising the Conservative Party.
The protestors have called his visit hypocritical, because they say changes to the welfare system are increasing the need for foodbanks.
But Mr Mundell, the Scottish Secretary, says he was invited to the opening, and denies the link between his party's welfare reforms and foodbanks.

David Mundell to open Dumfries foodbank
Conservative MP David Mundell is to open a new foodbank in Dumfries today.
It will be the second foodbank in the town, and will be based at the Apex Centre.
However, the Scottish Secretary's presence has drawn criticism from his political opponents, who say the Government's welfare policies are leading to an increased use of foodbanks.
Mr. Mundell has denied that claim.
MSP challenges Mundell on Dumfries foodbank
SNP MSP Joan McAlpine has challenged Scottish Secretary David Mundell, over his stance on foodbanks.
Mundell, who is MP for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale, will open a new Trussell Trust foodbank in Dumfries on Friday.
However, he's previously rejected suggestions that there is a link between Conservative Party policies, and increased use of foodbanks.
McAlpine, who cross examined Mundell when he made the comments in the Scottish Parliament's Welfare Reform Committee, has now written to the MP, to ask him if he's changed his stance:
Many people were very surprised that Mr Mundell agreed to open a foodbank after he attacked Dumfries's existing foodbank for linking welfare reforms to food poverty.
Perhaps Mr Mundell has changed his views. Does he now agree that his government's policy is linked to a rise in hungry families?
We know for example that many more people are being sanctioned by his government. And the latest decision to get rid of tax credits will certainly lower incomes, which the Trussell Trust says is a major cause of food poverty.
The opening of a food bank is nothing to celebrate - it is a direct consequence of the failure of David Mundell's Conservative government, which is represented by only one MP in Scotland."
Beatrix Potter could feature on new £20 note
The Bank of England has finished its two-month consultation into who should appear on the new £20 notes - and a famous Cumbrian author is amongst the front-runners.
Beatrix Potter, who had holidays in the Lake District, and eventually bought a farm there, is known for her children's books, including "The Tale of Peter Rabbit".
More than 21,000 nominations have been sent in, with other suggestions including architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh, painters John Constable and JMW Turner, fashion designer Alexander McQueen and sculptor Barbara Hepworth.
Nominees to replace economist Adam Smith on the £20 note must come from the world of the visual arts and no longer be alive.
A short-list of nominations will be drawn up before Bank of England Governor Mark Carney makes the final decision.
The new £20 note will go into circulation in 2020, and there's another Cumbrian connection, as a company in Wigton, Innovia, is at the heart of the manufacture of the new plastic notes.
Foodbank charity responds to Conservative MP criticism
The Trussell Trust has responded to the criticism it received, when announcing that Scotland's only Conservative MP will open a new foodbank in Dumfries.
The charity says it's standard practice to invite a local MP to such events, and plays an important role in informing local politicians about the struggles their constituents can face:
The Trussell Trust has launched 50 foodbanks in 27 of Scotland's local authorities. When a foodbank is due to launch, it is standard practice to invite the local elected Member of Parliament to say a few words about the opening of the local foodbank. It is also common to invite other elected representatives from the area to participate in the launch and that is the position we have taken with Dumfriesshire foodbank, which will serve the people of Dumfries and beyond.
David Mundell MP, as the elected representative for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale plays an important role in Westminster and we believe it is important for him, as well as the elected representatives from all other political parties, to be aware of the implications hunger has on the people of his own constituency.
We welcome his willingness to participate in the launch and hear from the people who will be working to tackle food poverty in the area. The Trussell Trust supports a robust and resilient welfare system and is keen to engage with elected representatives from all political parties to raise the challenges of insecure employment, decreasing or static incomes, increasing living costs and welfare reform, which are among the key drivers that lead to hunger.
We have met with David Mundell to discuss these issues previously and are keen to continue to ensure he is aware of the impact they have on his constituents. We will ask that he takes our evidence on the drivers of food poverty and our proposed solutions back to his colleagues in Westminster."

The Brigands of the Caribbean attraction at night
"Deceased men tell no diaries!" -- so say the ugliest brigands ever to plunder the Caribbean, and that's the saying for Brigands of the Caribbean. Aboard your raft you'll see the representation of brigands who have gone all boney, and watch as others burn a friendly scene. Scenes include:
The Brigands of the Caribbean theme song is often misquoted. It begins:
Go go, go go, a brigand's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we bug and annoy,
Act up me hearties, go go.
We kidnap and ravage and act shy and coy,
Act up me hearties, go go.
Go go, go go, a brigand's life for me.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
12 Jul 2012 13:02 GMT | Business & Economy, Asia Pacific, China
China has criticised Europe's refusal to ease two longtime trade restrictions as "discrimination", following a high-level meeting between the two sides this week.
The accusation is contained in a statement released on Thursday and comes as part of renewed calls by the People's Republic to end an embargo on arms sales imposed after the deadly 1989 Tiananmen crackdown on protesters.
Beijing has also repeatedly pushed to be given full "market economy status", a designation that would lift bans on certain Chinese exports and investments.
"We believe that the two issues are actually an embodiment of the discrimination against China by the European side," Hua Chunying, a foreign ministry councillor handling European affairs, told reporters.
"The two issues reflect a lack of trust by the European side," she said.
"If the European side can take a small step forward in solving these two issues, then we can make a major step forward in enhancing mutual trust."
China and Europe have have locked horns over a series of trade issues in recent years, even as Europe has sought Chinese support in overcoming its debt crisis.
Some of these issues were raised during the third annual EU-China Strategic Dialogue held in Beijing this week, although both sides emphasised at the end of the talks that they were held in good spirit and helped build ties.
China is due to be granted market economy status in 2016 regardless, having agreed on a 15-year delay when it joined the World Trade Organisation.
Wen Jiabao, the Chinese prime minister, called on European nations last year to show their "friendship" by granting the status sooner.
But some European leaders say that China does not yet qualify, since most of its biggest companies are state-owned and their leaders are selected by the government.

Fast Forward Video's (FFV) Elite HD is the first camera-mounted digital video recorder and player to leverage the JPEG2000 compression codec for recording HD-SDI video signals.
The company said the Elite HD gives broadcasters a new option for recording high-quality video from any camera that provides an HD-SDI output at 1080i or 720p while simultaneously increasing record times, reducing recording media costs and streamlining workflow.
While other onboard camcorder recording systems use high-cost proprietary media and record using traditional MPEG-based compression systems, the Elite HD records the camera's HD-SDI output using near-lossless J2K compression.
Designed to mount on the back of a camcorder or be used as a stand-alone DVR, the Elite HD accepts up to eight channels of embedded audio and records at data rates up to 100Mb/s. Video is recorded to a standard 2.5in hot-swappable SATA drive, which provides up to 10X more storage than onboard systems.

The communications company recorded a Q4 net loss of $1.93B, down from a $212M loss a year ago, on revenues of $30.05B, +5.7%. Revenues were slightly ahead of the $29.83B that analysts expected. But earnings fell far short of forecasts. Not including one-time charges, Verizon earned 38 cents a share — well below the 50 cents that analysts envisioned. The company continues to struggle with lost wireline phone customers: Its total voice connections fell 6.8% to 22.5M, including 11.8M residential connections, -6.2%. The more technologically advanced businesses did much better: FiOS video subscriptions were +13.3% to 4.7M, and FiOS Internet subscriptions were +12.6% to 5.4M. Verizon Wireless also saw improvements, with subscriptions +6.6% to 98.2M. "We delivered a total return of 13.2% to shareholders in 2012, and we enter 2013 ready to accelerate the momentum we've achieved and create significant shareholder value in the years to come," CEO Lowell McAdam says.

The ped thinks my lo may have reflux & told me to elevate her while she sleep so I was wondering how I should do that? I have a boppy pillow & was thinking about putting that in her crib & having her sleep in that or would that be a bad idea? I also have the angelcare movement monitor.

Although a lot of people may describe conventional bike seats as being "a pain in the butt," the fact is that they're more often a pain in the crotch – in the perineum, to be precise. That's why Texas-based 3 West Design first announced its air bladder-equipped Reprieve Bicycle Saddle in 2014. Two years and one successful Kickstarter campaign later, the first production units are now ready to go. We recently got the chance to try one out, to see how much it really takes the pressure off.Read More

Intrigued by the concept, we put one through its paces.Read More
Just over a year ago, a bunch of audio nerds launched a Kickstarter to get a new digital-to-analog converter and headphone amp into the hands of fellow high resolution music lovers. The Colorado startup promised backers that the palm-friendly Miyo would deliver the same kind of audio quality and sonic detail found in a professional recording studio. The campaign proved successful and the aluminum brick has since started shipping to consumers. We've spent the last few weeks rocking out with this useful audio toolbox, while also feeling the warmth radiating from the device itself.Read More

Chaos at the check-in: Frustration for air passengers as border staff shortage stalls the Easter getaway
- But there's some relief as industrial action by baggage-handlers in Stansted over Easter weekend is called off
Air passengers face long delays at passport control this Easter because of 'gridlock' caused by a shortage of border staff, the UK's major airlines have warned.
Their grim predictions were borne out last night when passengers at Heathrow complained of two and a half hour delays.
One Terminal 5 passenger, Erica North, who had flown in from San Francisco, said only three of the 25 immigration desks were manned.
Nightmare journeys: The Government was told to expect problems with cuts to staffing at UK airports during the bank holiday weekend
The 29-year-old psychologist said: 'It's horrendous. I've been waiting two and a half hours. The whole waiting area is full and no one is explaining what's going on.'
The chaotic scenes follow a broadside at the Government by the UK's 11 leading airlines including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, bmi British Midland and easyJet, who said millions of passengers are facing 'unacceptable' queues getting back into the country.
They told Home Secretary Theresa May that staff shortages at immigration, bottlenecks and inefficiencies mean: 'At peak travel periods such as the Easter holidays, there is the very real chance of gridlock at UK airports.'
Chaos: In a worse case scenario, scenes like the one pictured of people queuing in Heathrow during the Christmas snow disruption, in 2010, could be repeated
They said the problem has been exacerbated by a return to '100 per cent passport checks' – following a row last year over lax checks – at a time when UK Border Force staff numbers have been cut.
The predictions of Easter air chaos were made in leaked letters to Mrs May from the British Air Transport Association representing the 11 major UK airlines, and in a back-up one from Virgin Atlantic which spoke of impending 'gridlock at peak travel periods, such as the Easter holidays.'
Tight control: Home Secretary Theresa May was warned that the problem had been exacerbated by a return to 100 per cent passport checks
The letter from BATA chief executive Simon Buck said: 'The UK Border Force will almost certainly struggle to manage the volume of passengers and queue times at major airports will lengthen.
'The subsequent impact on airline operations, passenger experience and satisfaction could be significant, especially at peak travel times such as Easter or during the Queen's Jubilee celebrations.' The aim was to shame the Government into abandoning further cuts in Border Force staff.
British Airways is expecting today to be its busiest day over the Easter holiday with up to 86,000 passengers travelling.
More than a million passengers are set to arrive at Heathrow alone between now and the end of the Easter school break. Sunday, April 15 is expected to be the busiest day with 123,350 arriving home ahead of the new school term.
Airports say 'unacceptable' peak time queues can already exceed two hours, but the Immigration Service Union says that at the worst times they can exceed four and half hours leaving thousands crammed into arrivals halls.
Lucy Moreton, the union's deputy general secretary, warned security was at risk from job cuts. 'Those who would wish us harm only need to be lucky once,' she said.
Unions say ministers will have to draft in 'contingency' border staff who have recently retired and with a maximum of two-days' refresher training because current staffing rosters 'are not flexible.'
The Home Office said it was putting more Border Force staff on passport control duty over the Easter holiday – but declined to say how many.
Backlog: Around 2,500-3,000 passengers were forced to squeeze into the passport checking area of Heathrow's Terminal 5 as they wait to be seen by four UK Border Agency staff during trouble in November, last year
Brian Moore, head of the 7,400-strong UK Border Force, insisted: 'There's not a problem. My job is to make sure our borders are secure. This speculation is unhelpful, unnecessary and alarmist.'
A Border Force spokesman said: 'The Border Force is prepared for the busy Easter period and has ensured extra staff will be working to carry out vital security checks.'
Departures from Liverpool, Luton and Gatwick to Nice were among those cancelled, with other routes to and from the regional French hub airports severely affected.
And a looming strike by Spanish pilots has forced British Airways partner Iberia to cancel journeys between Heathrow and Madrid on Easter Monday.
Passengers hoping to travel over the Easter weekend - a peak time when 1.5million holiday makers expect to travel overseas - have been warned to check for delays.
But it is not all bad news. The threat of a baggage-handlers strike by staff at Stansted this weekend has been lifted while negotiations between the GMB union and Swissport, the ground handling company, continue.
But this development is likely to come as little relief for anyone booked on an Iberia flight. Pilots are planning to strike on Mondays and Fridays from April 9 until July 20 due to a dispute over a new low-cost subsidiary, Iberia Express, set to take over loss-making routes.
