Chris Brown Is Just Like Trayvon Martin And Other Bullshit He Actually Said Out Loud
Chris Brown is the cover interview for the October issue of Jet where he whines and bitches about nobody bringing up the fact that Jay Z stabbed a guy while equating himself with Tupac, Michael Jackson and B.I.G. Fortunately, he's figured out the answer to that, and it's racism because his life is just like Trayvon Martin's minus one crucial factor that I'm sure George Zimmerman would love to fix. Chris should give him a call sometime. Anyway, here are the highlights via HuffPost:
On why Jay Z gets a pass for stabbing a guy in 1999, but Chris doesn't for beating the living shit out of a woman and leaving her for her dead on the side of a road:
"Anybody with a voice – Tupac, Michael Jackson, the Notorious B.I.G. – gets formatted … except maybe for Jay Z, who is accepted by White America because he shakes hands and kisses babies. No disrespect, because I'm a fan, but nobody brings up the fact that he stabbed somebody and sold drugs. He gets a pass."
On how he can't take no more lashes from the master, and yes, he uses those words:
"I got to the point where it's only so much you can take from the master, you feel me?" he told Jet. "I've taken my fair share of lashings. I've dealt with the media. Instead of being an artist, I've been called a woman beater; I've been insulted in public and judged. And being able to not want to kill yourself at the end of the day is what made me say, 'F**k it.'"
And now to drop the T-bomb:
"I identify with Trayvon 100 percent as far as living in 2013 and still dealing with blatant racism," he told the magazine. "This generation is so used to racism that it's normal; we don't care. We aren't on drugs or catching AIDS, but they still look at us as ni**as."
As you've noticed, my "white liberal guilt" often has me pointing out racism where some would prefer to see a celebration of our constitutional right to gun down black teenagers anytime, anywhere because Chicago. Which is why I don't say the following lightly: Chris Brown needs to shut the fuck up about racism. For starters, he beat Rihanna to a goddamn pulp and barely got a slap on the wrist from the "system" because he's a rich celebrity. On top of that, he couldn't even complete his bullshit community service and got caught forging court documents, and for that he got… another slap on the wrist. If any other 24-year-old black man in America did the same thing, he'd wouldn't see the outside of a prison until he was 50. But let's listen to Chris Brown talk about real racism because sometimes people go, "Hey, remember when you hit Rihanna?" and his tears stain the upholstery in his Lamborghini. Which I'm sure is exactly how slaves picking cotton would describe getting lashed by their master. "Like a luxury vehicle caressing my back with fine leather seats while I decide what decadent meal to eat for supper. Mmm hmm, yessir." (I never saw Roots, but I'll assume that's close.)

Following its hugely successful debut in Boston in 2011, the cantilever roof of the Institute of Contemporary Art building will see the athletes exhibit their skills once again this year. After four stops in Europe, the World Series leaps over the Atlantic and touches down in one of America's oldest cities to provide the cliff divers with this season's sole urban setting. Artem Silchenko (RUS) has earned the most points for his diving art in the last two competitions and Orlando Duque (COL) leads the rankings going into the second half of the Series. On Boston's Fan Pier, 27m above the water's edge, the battle for glory will intensify on Saturday, August 25.

Tale Of The Tape: San Francisco 49ers At Carolina Panthers
In the moments after a wild-card win at sub-zero Lambeau Field, Colin Kaepernick's initial reaction to meeting the Panthers was that it gave his team a chance to get revenge for a regular-season defeat.
Wild Card Weekend: San Francisco 49ers At Green Bay Packers
Colin Kaepernick was the dominant player on the field when the 49ers defeated the Packers in last year's divisional playoff victory for the 49ers.
Tale Of The Tape: San Francisco 49ers At Arizona Cardinals
The 49ers have been rather ordinary on the offensive side of the ball this season, but they have won five games in a row since losing back-to-back games against Carolina and New Orleans.
Tale Of The Tape: Denver Broncos At Oakland Raiders
Peyton Manning will never admit this, but he would have liked it if the Ravens had beaten the Patriots, because that would have allowed the Broncos to clinch the top seed in the AFC playoffs.
Who Had More Picks In 2013? Eli Manning Vs. The Patriots' Draft
You guys. Eli Manning is bad. I don't care if he won 2 Super Bowls. He's bad. He's worse than Peyton Manning. He's worse than Tom Brady. He is worse than Mark Sanchez.
Tale Of The Tape: Atlanta Falcons At San Francisco 49ers

Meet up in Chicago to talk Pacers?
So, who would win in a matchup between Roy Hibbert and a hurricane? But there's a catch, the hurricane is named Hurricane Hibbert! Discuss!
Im Down
but Chicago is a big spread out town
Im near Evanston
Sittin on top of the world!
I live in and grew up in Illinois, just recently moved down from Decatur to Robinson near Vincennes Indiana...Growing up in the early 90's everything around here was Red and Black but I was mesmorized with a gangly brash shooting guard from Indiana...I rocked my Miller jerseys during the height of that era and still do at times to this day...So weird being so close to Indiana now and I still see no Pacer's stuff anywhere...Stores sale so much Colts and IU stuff but never anything Pacers related
I never really watch Pacers games in bars... because I wouldn't know where to begin. The Colts bars like Mullens don't care about the Pacers, and anywhere else is showing Bulls or nationally televised games.... However some bars have league pass and you are always one nice tip away from having them change the channel.
I live my life between Addison-18th and Austin-the Lake, and would always be down to meet up and drink with some Pacers fans.

I recently moved to Chicago, and i am also down to meet up. I am in Wicker Park on the west side.
We should organize a chicago area pacers party!
BAD idea.
Maybe when the Pacers play in Chicago we could group up and get tickets and have a section of Pacer fans heckling the Bulls. I sure hope we kick the crap out of them this year. I have always hated them but despise them even more now because of my hatred for Noah. I have hated his ugly mug every since he was in college.

"Step up! Come on. What are you waiting for? Listen, you guys have paid a LOT of money to be here. Don't be shy!"
There are other fan events based around single games, of course; both QuakeCon and BlizzCon command significant attendance. But COD: XP is not an event requested by the fans. Rather, it's an endlessly lavish production put on for their benefit by a company eager to... to give something back? Eager to humanise themselves? Eager to soften core gamer perception of a company best known for its dead-eyed annual franchise updates, high-price DLC, and the stewardship of arch non-gamer Bobby Kotick, effortlessly the most disliked CEO by gamers thanks to his apparent disdain toward them?
COD: XP is, let's say, a smart way to both give back to the community that makes it wealthy and to counter a series of setbacks and unpopular decisions made in and around Modern Warfare.
Setback-wise, there's the departure of Call of Duty's parents Jason West and Vince Zampella, the founders of Infinity Ward who left the company in a cloud of controversy and bitter words last year, taking almost half of the studio with them.
Few journalists breathe a word about this momentous, still largely untold event during the press day roundtable with Infinity Ward staff. But questions burn in the pockets. Is it really so easy to maintain the leading series in the leading genre while losing all of that institutional knowledge and talent midway through production?
Activision doesn't want anyone pondering such things and who can blame them? Bugs and windscreens. So instead we are given a military-themed Disneyland to splash about in for two days, filled with zip-wires, jeep rides through rigged explosives and men cosplaying as ghillie suit snipers.
So COD: XP is a distraction then? Perhaps.
But then there's the cloud of scepticism surrounding the announcement of Call of Duty: Elite, a subscription-based multiplayer service that launches alongside Modern Warfare 3. For gamers tired of premium-based paid-for services, it was a difficult sell. But the news unveiled at the show that an annual subscription to Elite will cost just $49.99 (�34.99) was favourably received, especially as this is set to include all DLC released over the course of that year.
It's not an overly generous price-point, but few would argue it's not a fair one for those who would be interested. Then, the news that the $150 COD:XP ticket price would include a Hardened edition of the game, and that every nickel of profit thereafter would to go to the Call of Duty Endowment, Activision's charitable program to help veterans secure jobs, further softened attendees' view of the event and the company that paid for it.
Finally, zoom up and it seems likely that Elite is an evolutionary stepping-stone not only for the series but also the medium. In five years or less, Call of Duty multiplayer will surely be a cloud-based service. If that's the case, and few technology prophets would bet against it, COD: XP is an educational exercise, actualising the virtual community that exists around the game in real life, and winning the core influencers within that community - the kind of people who would pay $150 and a plane ticket to 'elevate their soldiers' - to the Elite cause.
After all, nobody wants to be the bug in the brave new cloud-based world of our near future.
"Tell me: how does it feel to be $100,000 richer?"
"I don't wanna work at McDonalds any more."
In the final showdown, US-based four-man squad Optic beat British team Infinity to take the $400,000 prize money, a frankly ridiculous trophy made from scale replica automatic rifles and the prestige of being the best Call of Duty players in the world.
A huddle of white men in their early twenties, college students with tidy hair and broad smiles who no longer need to support their education with minimum wage jobs, bounce on their back feet. Gleeful for their winnings, they fail to match their skill with eloquence on stage in the post-fight interview. That doesn't matter much. To the assembled throng, they are twitch heroes who have let their reflexes speak louder than any weepy Grammy acceptance speech.
Indeed, to many here, they are now the most important attendees at an event that is all about establishing hierarchy.
"Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic."
Kanye West stands atop a 30-foot high stone-effect pillar wearing a gold necklace that cost more than your education. He stares and sways and spits and sings a song about Power in the 21st Century, firing the word 'egotistic' from his mouth with a prissy flick of the tongue.
He plays for a full two hours, choosing to kick off his new tour in front of a hangar full of Call of Duty players and assembled celebrities (Lindsay Lohan, Jack Osbourne, David Cross - now the most important attendees at an event that is all about establishing hierarchy - all spotted in the guarded VIP area which separates the great and good from the gamers).
He's an apt choice for headline act for an event that is all about hubris and showmanship. Indeed, he's an embodiment.
Bobby Kotick sits inside a VIP area inside the VIP-only COD: XP aftershow party at a small VIP club on an exclusive stretch of Hollywood road.
Two blonde female DJ twins with haircuts from the future - characters plucked from a Jet Set Radio designer's sketchbook - play cuts from Jay-Z and Kanye's latest collaboration to a room of journalists, tournament winners and assorted celebrities and hangers-on.
Kanye slouches in a corner, surrounded by a gaggle of seven-foot, hollow-eyed models, checking his watch surreptitiously from beneath his hoodie, waiting for his contracted appearance time to be up. His bodyguard glares at the room, clutching a Taser, primed for the melee kill.
Teri Hatcher works to break a titter through the botox sausage that is her face. Kotick leans 10 degrees too far forward and she recoils while attempting to maintain the air of coquettishness upon which her invitation tonight depended.
A tournament winner makes a move at a dancer who tells him he's "too ugly for Hollywood". To her, he is the least important attendee at an event that is all about establishing hierarchy.
Outside, one of Activision's drivers squeezes a lever and squirts water over the windscreen of his parked limousine. Two swipes of the blades and it's clean again.

The USGP, scheduled for November 2012, came close to being axed from the schedule amid competition for places.

- Forums

Bernie Ecclestone has admitted that 'support for the event in the region' played a big part in keeping the USGP in Austin on the F1 calendar for 2012, despite uncertainty over the viability of the project.
Pitpass.com has revealed just how close the race, scheduled to be held at the all-new Circuit of the Americas in mid-November, came to being axed after failing to meet financial deadlines as the various parties behind the ambitious plans to construct a circuit to bring F1 back to America began bickering.
Disclosing the contents of a letter, sent from Ecclestone to Austin's Circuit Events Local Organising Committee director Wayne Hollingsworth, business editor Christian Sylt confirms that the event teetered on the brink of being dropped from the schedule without actually going over the edge, and was only rescued when Red McCombs and Bobby Epstein - who took over as majority stakeholders in the CotA after falling out with originator Tavo Hellmund - produced the money to secure the rights to host the race.
"Beginning in mid-2011, it became apparent that [promoter] Full Throttle was having difficulty its obligations, ultimately resulting in the termination of the Austin selection and related contracts," Ecclestone confirmed, Construction on the CotA facility was stopped in November 2011.
"At that time, although competition for an FIA F1 World Championship [slot] was substantial and we had the opportunity to give Austin's place on the 2012 calendar to another location, as the issues that caused FOML to revoke Austin's previous selection were resolved, we evaluated Circuit Events Local Organising Committee's application and again selected Austin to stage a round of the championship. We then entered into new contracts for the promotion of the event with CotA."
Although desirous of an event in the United States, Ecclestone had the proposed New York race up his sleeve, and admitted that there were other reasons for deciding to press on with the Austin project.
"The fact that Austin was selected, after a highly competitive selection process, to host a round of the FIA F1 World Championship in the United States and then reselected in late 2011 as our chosen location for a round of the championship says much about support for the event in the region and our view that Austin is a very desirable location," the letter concluded, "FOML believes that Austin will be a very successful venue for the United States Grand Prix, and we are looking forward to the inaugural event in November and to many successful events in the future at the new CotA facility."

Just days away from the start of track and field's biggest competition of 2009, top officials from the Japan Association of Athletics Federations expressed pride in its athletes and confidence that they'll have a successful showing in Germany.
"I would like you all to perform understanding the great expectations people have," JAAF president Yohei Kono told the national team during a news conference on Wednesday afternoon at a Tokyo hotel.
"The (Japanese) citizens have high expectations for the world championships," he added. "We've seen you have shown great outcomes, making big progress. We hope that you all show your growth in Berlin. The real-deal athletes can't be competitive only in the nation. The real samurai can compete fairly in the world.
"That said, I hope each athlete breaks his or her best mark first, and then national records, or we have some that even aim for the world records or tournament records."
The 12th IAAF World Athletics Championships begins on Aug. 15 in Berlin and concludes on Aug. 23.
Japan is sending a delegation of 59 athletes (32 men, 27 women) to Germany, including hammer thrower Koji Murofushi, a 15-time national champion, 2004 Athens Games gold medalist and 2008 Beijing Games bronze medalist.
Pole vaulter Daichi Sawano, a two-time Olympian, is seeking his first worlds medal, as is long-distance runner Kayoko Fukushi, who also competed at two Olympiads. She is the Asian record holder in the half-marathon.
Other competitors include sprinters Naoki Tsukuhara and Shinji Takahira, who helped Japan win a 4×100-meter relay bronze in Beijing. It was Japan's first track medal in the Olympics since the 1928 Amsterdam Games. The two other relay members, Shingo Suetsugu and Nobuharu Asahara, are not competing at worlds. Asahara has retired.
At the 2007 IAAF World Championships in Osaka, Reiko Tosa won Japan's lone medal, picking up a bronze in the women's marathon on the final day of competition. Tosa's performance set a benchmark for Japan's athletes in 2009.
"The level of the world is improving day in and day out, but we would like the Japanese athletes to compete well in the world championships in Berlin," said Tsunekazu Takeda, the JOC president. "We would also like you to compete and break your own personal records, looking ahead to the London Games in three years."
Susumu Takano, The team manager, said Team Japan has set a target of earning at least one medal at worlds. He said six top eight-finishes represent the other big goal.
Takano described these targets as realistic targets.
"We believe we have made enough preparations since Beijing as we held monthly training camps," Takano noted. "Fortunately, most of the athletes who participated in the training camps made the national team."
Entering the worlds, there are a number of unknowns for the Japan national team, notably the fact that 29 of the 59 participants are first-timers.
The team features 13 athletes who are 23 or younger, including heralded sprinter Chisato Fukushima (100, 200 and 4×100 relay), Yurika Nakamura (5,000 and 10,000) and Yuriko Kobayashi (5,000). All three competed at the 2008 Beijing Games.
Seventeen-year-old Miho Shingu, the youngest member of Team Japan, makes her world championships debut this year. The Higashi Osaka College Keiai High School student is slated to compete in the 4×400 relay.
Japan's youthful identity is part of the team's blueprint for the future, according to Takano.
"We 'sowed some seeds' by having some young prospects compete in Osaka (the 2009 Osaka Grand Prix in May) to give many of them an opportunity, and it has started sprouting up," said Takano.
He added: "We are going to give the best support we can. This is the important first step toward London."
Sawano was selected as Japan's male captain, while hurdler/4×400-relay member Satomi Kubokura earned the honor on the women's side.
Sawano is clearly motivated to help Japan have a successful performance at worlds, but refuses to be intimidated by the feelings of pressure to repeat what the aforementioned 4×100-relay unit accomplished in China.
"In Berlin, we would like to show the best performance we can," he said. "We cannot be overshadowed by the feat of the relay team"

So yeah....it was a male that did our ultrasound today at 1pm. He's the same guy that told us Addison was a girl before she was born. During that ultrasound we found out the exciting news that....
We're having a girl!!!! Sophie Grace Anderson is due to arrive sometime around the 21st of February, 2008. We're both very excited, and Addison can't wait to have a sister to play with. And yes, being a practical guy I'm looking forward at getting the most use out of all this girly stuff we got. Not sure if I'm ready for 2 teenage girls, and 2 weddings to pay for...but I have many years to prepare, right? hehe. Thanks for your congrats and prayers as we continue to pray and wait towards her arrival!

34. The Triplets of Belleville
This nearly wordless, imaginatively animated tale of a grandmother's love simply hasn't been seen by enough people. As much as I love the Pixar movies (and I do, I really do) and the strides in animation they've represented over the past decade, the odd angles, weird colors and strange relationships between spacees of "Belleville"'s animation are charming, nostalgic, and often used to present delightful visual gags. This movie feels like it could've been made fifty years ago but is still fresh, engaging, and lovable today. If you haven't seen it (and seems like almost nobody I talk to has), move it to the top of your Netflix queue. You're in for a treat.

Tudor Primary School in Barnet have made history this year with both their girls and boys football teams enjoying unprecedented success.
The school's girls' side won all three competitions open to teams in the area - the Barnet Small Schools League, the Barnet Cup and the Barnet Champion of Champions Cup, scoring 75 goals and conceding just twice along the way.
The boys' side had a similarly successful season, becoming Small Schools Champions and winning the Champion of Champions Cup.
They were also runners up in the Dick Bailey Cup - reaching the semi final of the competition.
Barnet Small Schools League has been running for 55 years and this is the first time Tudor School have been crowned champions.
Commenting on the school's succes, headteacher Jude Stone said: "We have never had such outstanding sporting success at Tudor School before.
"I am extremely proud of the achievements of our footballers and for their fantastic sportsmanship.
"These are the values we promote at Tudor and the whole school has celebrated their success."
Making the two side's successes even more impressive is the fact the girls didn't concede a single goal in the league competition and the boys remained unbeaten within 90 minutes all season.
Manager of the two sides, Ben Moore, commended his side's sportsmanship: "When a goal was scored or a game was won, the team's reaction has always been conscientious with the highest regard held for the opposition's player's feelings before their own celebrations."
Coach Dean Harrington added: "'I have never witnessed such supreme dedication and ultimate sacrifice as with these teams."
Boys: Hamza Sultanmir, Hamza Hassan, Raphael Ghebtzawi, Shyam Depala (Captain), Shivam Depala, Mohamed Bouchmal Ben Said, Mozamel Dowlatzai, Albis Dema, Krishna Tailor and Matthew Ifaso.
Girls: Ebony Ogbodu-Wilson, Rahmo Ahmed, Elif Sogut, Uzma Zaheer, Jamine Kamagate, Nicole White (Captain), Alina Jafri, Melike Gorur and Karishma Shah.

This is an Italian Vespa!The deep gloss black combined with well defined chrome and stainless steel trim and accessories creates quite an impression. The agility and power of the Sprint is surprising, given that it is a vintage scooter. The original factory combination of 10" rims and tires with the Sprint engine give a comfortable ride height and a 7 mph speed increase over the earlier Super. The scooter listed has had a from the ground up, every nut and bolt restoration.A sensible choice for cruising around in style with impressively low gas consumption with today's gas prices.

Every year we turn the clocks back an hour and we slowly but surely slip into darkness. We usually make it through the holiday season without it bothering us too much but once we settle into January the darkness of the season can be a bit depressive. I think we find ourselves getting bored more easily on the weekends because it gets dark at 4:30pm. Thanks to a friend (Edi May Macri, owner of Bikram Yoga Shelton) we received a wonderful tip for beating "stuck in the house" syndrome.
If you're looking for a little adventure one winter weekend we have a great idea for you New Haven and Fairfield County folks. The pizza train is where it's at!!! Your little ones will love a sweet ride on the Metro North train and if it's their first time shorter may be better. Grab the choo choo from your destination to downtown Fairfield then walk a few short blocks to Colony Grill and you'll have yourself a nice little night out. If your children are under 5, they ride the train for free and weekends are off-peak trains so a family of 4 won't exceed $11 round-trip train fare from Milford to Fairfield. With the cost of gas these days, I don't think that's a bad option for weekend travel and the kids will be so excited.
The wonderful thing is Mom and Dad feel like they're having a "night out" even though it might only be 5pm. Colony is awesome because it is family-friendly especially at that time, so if your little guy feels like yelling Yo Gabba Gabba songs no one will give you the evil eye. Did I mention how good their pies are? Then when you're almost full, walk over to Pinkberry for dessert, and then train it back home. This is a really nice time out whether you need to catch up with good friends or just do something different with the family. We are going to aim to do this once a month with our little family because it's a great time for laughing and bonding and we all could use it these days.

Why shouldn't force field link to force field? And Holography link to Holograms? That's what those things are.--31dot 22:27, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- You know this for a fact? Linking just force field in "force field projection" may not be accurate, or is at least, misleading, when the description and examples are more than a mere "invisible wall protecting the brig or warp core", also, a hologram would seem to be a product of holography, removing the link by piping it removes potential (in both cases) of creating perfectly legit articles to terms that are more specific than what they were replaced with. --Alan del Beccio 22:31, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I concede your point about holography, though I thought that absent such an article it could link to holograms, since that's what was done in the episode(holograms were used). Force field projection, however, is just the act of projecting a force field. The definitition of force field is quite clear. Its uses may be varied, but a force field is a force field.--31dot 22:38, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- A phaser is a phaser, but they come in many different shapes, sizes, uses, and articles. Anyway, upon further review of that scene, I can concede to your point about force fields, however I would like to add that there is a notable difference between her ability to project a force field, from her ship, onto the Enterprise by simply waving her hand and stopping work in his tracks. Clearly that form and use of the technology is much more advanced than anything else we've seen before, or likely since. --Alan del Beccio 23:40, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I for one was always rather disappointed that none of the Trek shows(or even the current MMO) ever revisited the Con Artist known as "Ardra". I would have loved to see her become a recurring character like the much less interesting Vash. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) at 17:26 on 11 April 2014.

Ryan Getzlaf remembers what it felt like inside, winning the Stanley Cup, holding it up proudly, all the while knowing something was missing.
His big brother Chris, his best friend, wasn't there with him.
"Now you're trying to bring a tear to my eye," said Chris Getzlaf, the slot receiver of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, being told what his brother had said earlier in the day in a telephone conversation.
"He's always been with me," said Ryan, the star centre with the Anaheim Ducks.
"He was with me when I got drafted. He came to the Olympics in Vancouver when he won."
The truth is, for the first family of Saskatchewan sport, Chris Getzlaf didn't just miss his brother winning the Stanley Cup in 2007 -- he didn't see it.
He wanted to.
The timing just didn't work out for the elder of the two Getzlaf brothers -- Chris is 30, Ryan is 28, although some might have guessed Ryan as the big brother.
Chris was a rookie in training camp with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
There were two-a-day practices. There were meetings. There was the crush of his first professional camp. It was early to bed.
"The games were so late," he said. "I watched some of it, but not all of it.
"I wasn't able to be there. It was crushing."
This is championship Sunday for Chris Getzlaf and his hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders and, all week long, Ryan tried to figure out how he could get to the game. He looked at the possibility of flying home. He looked at the Ducks' schedule. He thought he might be able to get something accomplished.
Instead, he's hosting a Grey Cup party in California (he wouldn't say t how big it would be), watching on satellite television.
His favourite team growing up, his only brother playing -- what can be better than that for two kids from Regina, who grew up playing a whole lot of hockey and football and baseball and just about everything else?
What could be better than that?
If you look at Ryan -- all 6-foot-4, 220 pounds of him -- and his natural strength, his diminished hairline, his square jaw, you could easily think he, not Chris, was the older brother.
Chris is 6-feet-tall, maybe 200 pounds with a full head of hair and has had to beat the odds at every level to get this far in the Canadian Football League. He was never a sure thing.
He was a late draft pick of Hamilton in 2007, a kid who admits he never started the first year on any team he played on. He always had to battle.
He was someone who went from the practice roster in Hamilton, was a throw-in a trade to Saskatchewan, barely played at all in his first three years, yet kept slugging away at it.
Very little but survival happened in the first four years of his career.
In his last four years, he has caught footballs for just under 4,000 yards.
"It's huge what he's done, considering where he's come from," said Ryan, who said his brother said could have played Major League baseball if he was so inclined.
"He's done so good for himself. Our careers have kind of peaked at different times," said Ryan.
"He's supported me 100% before I got noticed. He's been a little bit in the background at times. There's not one bit of jealousy between us. We're there for each other. We've always been there for each other.
"Me and him have been best friends since I was 14. Growing up, we had our battles. He didn't want me around when I was the younger brother. You know how it is. Older brother doesn't want a younger brother around.
"Once I hit the age of 14, we became best friends. Our friends are now the same. We all hang out together. Everything we've always done is to support each other."
They started in football the same year. Chris was 13, Ryan 11.
"I was a lousy football player," Ryan confessed.
"Lousy in his mind, maybe," said Chris. "He just expected so much of himself.
"Ryan was a better hockey player from the jump and it was known early that he had a chance to go on and play. I played a lot of hockey, too, but football was my thing.
"I spent numerous years being on the bench, then became a starter, then on the bench, then became a starter on just about every team I played on, in every age group.
"My trek to become a professional -- I don't want to say it was longer or harder, because it's really hard to make the NHL -- but I didn't know if I could ever play professionally."
In his rookie CFL season, Getzlaf didn't step on the field, but earned a Grey Cup ring as a practice roster player with the Roughriders.
That championship came five months after Ryan had won his only Stanley Cup with Brian Burke and Randy Carlyle's Ducks.
"Those were good times," said Chris. "But what you always want to know is who is going to be there in bad times. When I've needed him, for whatever, he's been there, and I think when he's needed me, I've been there.
"When there's been personal issues, things like that, I've been there. You want to talk about it. You want to help a brother get through it. In his one down year it was difficult for him. He was going bad. The team was going bad. He struggled with that because he's always been successful. I think I helped him through that."
He says that with a smile and with pride.
"He makes me proud," said Chris Getzlaf.
"And I'd like to think he's proud of me. In fact, I know he is."
Chris Getzlaf expects to be in Sochi for the Winter Olympics.
All he needs for his February trip to come through is to make certain his brother Ryan will be playing for Team Canada.
"My plan is to be there," said Chris. "That's how I'm thinking about it. That's the way I'm looking at it.
"I loved being in Vancouver in 2010. I want to go there, support him, hopefully watch him win a gold medal.
Ryan Getzlaf confirmed Thursday that if he was picked for the Canadian Olympic team -- as he should be -- his brother would be there alongside him.
Getzlaf currently ranks third in the NHL in points, second among Canadian players, and tied with John Tavares.

Planning a summer trip to Disney World? You're gonna pay
As heard on Tuesday's Golden Corner's Morning Show with Kris Butts, Walt Disney Co has raised single-day admission prices as much as 6.7 percent. The increase took effect over the weekend at its theme parks in Florida and California, hikes that are more than five times the rate of inflation. Higher prices for Disney's theme parks have become an annual tradition. As of Sunday, one-day entry to Disney's Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida, costs $95 for a person age 10 or older, a 6.7 percent increase. A single-day pass to one of two parks at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, rose 5.7 percent to $92. A park hopper ticket for entry to both California parks on the same day increased 9.6 percent to $137.

But, despite twice finishing third and achieving a Tour best of second last year, he has looked some way off matching the class of the Texan.
Along with Jan Ullrich, he looks set to be the closest rival to Armstrong and has the backing he needs.
ONCE, aside from US Postal perhaps, were the team of last year's race with a host of their riders impressing in the top 10.
Beloki was the pick of them but at no stage did he realistically push Armstrong and, as such, one wonders where he will pick anything fresh with which to trouble his rival.
This time he has made clear his intention to solely focus on the race, with team boss Manolo Saiz determined to finally notch up a victory and stop Armstrong's dominance over the race.
Beloki's build-up to the 2002 event was hampered by an Achilles tendon problem 12 months ago.
This time there has been no such problems for the Spaniard and he has warned that he feels mentally refreshed and tough.

At the magazine Mosaic, Peter Berkowitz examines the relationship between the Decalogue and liberal democracy, taking his cue from a recent essay by Leon Kass. Both men, Kass and Berkowitz, are among the most thoughtful conservative voices around but I think they are wrong when they suggest that the Israelites were given a choice. In the strict sense, this is true, but the choice was between life and death, which is not what most people consider a choice in our modern understanding of the word. I also think Kass and Berkowitz elide the central issue: To what extent can liberal democracy's commitment to a negative conception of liberty, that is, seeing freedom as a "freedom from," compatible with the Jewish and Christian understanding of freedom as positive freedom, a "freedom for." Still, these are important issues that Kass and Berkowitz are raising and they deserve the kind of careful, judicious treatment they provide.

Q: Standard shift lever replacement?

Is this a replacement for the standard shift lever? GP stated in description, I am not sure what that means.
MotoSport Staff Expert4 months 17 days ago
A: It is a replacement for the Woodcraft shift lever for Woodcraft rearsets. In this case "standard" means it is configured for a normal shift pattern only, "GP" means it works with a reverse shift pattern only, and "Standard/GP" will work with either.

Did you know?
baPedi potters use fresh riverbank clay, burnishing their products with seedpods.
South Africa's baPedi people are part of a seven-million-strong Sotho-speaking group that lives mostly in the Limpopo and North West provinces in the north of the country.
Their origins can be traced back to the Sotho people who migrated south from the Great Lakes more than 500 years ago, followed by generations of social unrest during the time of the Difaqane ('the scattering of the people') and later clashes with Boer Voortrekker settlers of the old Transvaal.
The baPedi traditionally lived in round huts of clay and cow dung, roofed with long grass. Their traditional choice of food (which is still popular today) is specially cooked spinach (morogo), samp, milk and maize.
A protein delicacy is roasted mopane worms, which, when toasted over an open fire as a dinner starter, have intrigued many a visitor with their crispy crunch and nutty aftertaste.
BaPedi music – with home-crafted drums and flutes – is being revived by rural musicians in song and dance performances countrywide.
Modern baPedi cultural offerings include the excellent television production of Ntlolerole – Death of a Queen, based on Shakespeare's MacBeth and laced with mythological references to the African Rain Queen legends, all in the sonorous, deeply musical sePedi language.
The most joyous time in a baPedi village is when a first-time mother gives birth in her original family's home. She returns to her husband's home with the newborn baby and a party ensues.
If there are means available, her husband might even build her a new homestead in celebration of her first child. And when the village chief's wife has a baby, there is likely to be feasting and gift-giving within a week of the birth.
Although baPedi men sing about hunting lions as part of their work-song repertoire, killing a big cat, fortunately, is no longer a pre-requisite to becoming a man in this ever-evolving culture.

Do not buy these boots!...
By: Robb
I work on a railroad. The Carhart boots I have been wearing are about 18 months old. I ordered these CAT boots because the ones I wanted were back ordered till February. The leather is brushed and very soft- like suede. I've only worn them for dress about 6 times and already there is a hole in one toe. The tongue is only attached at the very bottom, so it wants to slide to one side. The heel has very little relief - almost a block heel. They run tight in the toe and loose in the heel. A good boot will pull in slightly at the ankle, but these run straight up. They have almost no arch. I cannot believe the Caterpillar would put it's name on this product. I am now shopping for yet another pair of boots.

Love these boots...
By: CBP
I used to purchase these boots locally at a Super Shoes but they quit stocking them. I chose another boot but I have not liked them from day one. I was looking online and searched for my CAT boots and this is the website that came up. Very easy to do my online order they were on back order but they still arrived quickly.

PONTIAC, Mich. - A jury has ruled in favor of a Detroit-area gas station and a product distributor sued by the family of a 20-year-old man who committed suicide after using so-called synthetic marijuana.
Records show a "no cause" verdict was issued Thursday following the civil trial in Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac.
John Sdao died in 2012 after using Spice that was sold by the Royal Oak gas station. Spice is a mix of dried herbs and spices sprayed with chemicals. Michigan banned synthetic marijuana in 2012.
Defense attorney Dean Kallas said Tuesday that the jury ruled "the suicide was unrelated to the product."
Sdao's family was seeking $10 million. Their attorney James Rasor says he wants the state Appeals Court to "clarify the law" on the ruling.

Watch TV is a small program which allows the user to watch television channels that offer streaming content over the internet.
A few days ago, I came across a program which allows one to watch various streaming TV channels from around the world. Unfortunately, this program is ugly and obtrusive. So, I decided to make a better version. Watch TV does precisely the same thing as this other program does, that is access the live streaming video from various TV stations and display them in a WMP object. What Watch TV DOESN'T do is phone home about it every time the users watches a channel, and its interface is a lot less spammy (IMHO)..

BRENDON King is hoping to tie up a deal for striker Dan Smith in the coming days.
The ex-Truro City man, who has been on trial at the Bob Lucas Stadium, was on target last night in a 3-2 victory for the Terras at Wimborne Town, which took their pre-season tally to four wins from four.
Mark Ford also continued his scoring streak while the third came via an own goal.
King told Echosport: "We played really well in the first half and by the half-time interval we were 2-0 up and coasting.
"However, we then came out after the break and were a little bit sloppy, which allowed them to get back into it.
"In some ways I am glad that happened because it helps stop people getting complacent and over confident.
"The tempo of the game was much higher than the previous three and we certainly got a lot more out of it."
On the subject of Smith, King added: "Dan was outstanding and hopefully we can tie something up with him by the weekend."
Weymouth's next friendly will see them host Dorchester Town this coming Saturday (3pm).

WASHINGTON —U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who won a Nobel Prize in physics but came under questioning for his handling of a solar energy loan, is stepping down and a Baton Rouge businessman may be up for the post.
Chu offered his resignation to President Barack Obama in a letter Friday. He said he would stay on at the Department of Energy at least until the end of February and may stay until a successor is confirmed.
Jim Bernhard, founder of The Shaw Group Inc., of Baton Rouge, said he is in the running to replace Chu, WBRZ-TV reported Friday. Bernhard did not return two calls from The Advocate seeking comment.
Bernhard said several others also are being considered, according to WBRZ. Bernhard recently sold Shaw to Texas-based CB&I for more than $3 billion.
White House spokeswoman Joanna Rosholm declined to comment about Bernhard, except to say there are no new personnel announcements to make regarding the energy secretary. A White House news release of Obama's priorities would remain unchanged.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., said in an email response that Bernhard would make a great choice. "Jim Bernhard is an industrialist and an environmentalist who has dedicated his life to being a responsible steward of our natural resources," Landrieu stated.
Don Briggs, president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, a trade group, also endorsed the selection of Bernhard. "He understands the energy business and he comes from an energy state."
The Energy Department oversees energy, environmental and nuclear issues for the federal government.
Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson, said he has heard Bernhard's name mentioned as a potential candidate to replace Chu. But Scalise said he does not know whether Bernhard is being considered within a pool of "two or 20" contenders.
Scalise said Bernhard would represent a big improvement over Chu, whom he called "one of the worst energy secretaries ever."
"Jim Bernhard is pro-energy and he'd be one of the few in the Obama industry with real-world experience in creating jobs," Scalise said.
The departure of Chu, the 64-year-old former director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in California, had been widely expected and follows announcements by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Environmental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson and Jane Lubchenco, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, that they are leaving.
Obama said in a statement Friday that Chu brought a "unique understanding of both the urgent challenge presented by climate change and the tremendous opportunity that clean energy represents for our economy."
During his tenure, Chu helped move the country toward energy independence, Obama said, referring to billions of dollars in Energy Department loans to boost renewable energy such as wind and solar power.
"Thanks to Steve, we also expanded support for our brightest engineers and entrepreneurs as they pursue groundbreaking innovations that could transform our energy future," Obama said.
In a letter to Energy Department employees, Chu said he was proud of his tenure and cited dozens of accomplishments, including doubling the production of renewable energy from wind and solar power. Installations of solar electric systems have nearly doubled in each of the last three years, he said, while fully 42 percent of new energy capacity in the U.S. last year was from wind — more than any other energy source.
"I came with dreams and am leaving with a set of accomplishments that we should all be proud of," he said.
One of his accomplishments was something that Chu rarely talked about, but was frequently cited by Obama: Chu's role in helping to plug the massive BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Chu and a team of engineers helped devised an interim solution before a replacement well permanently plugged the leak, which spewed more than 200 million gallons of oil in the worst offshore oil disaster in the country's history.
Chu came up with the solution "when nobody else could figure it out," Obama said Friday. "And that's typical of the incredible contributions that he's made to this country."
Mark Ballard and Michelle Millhollon of The Advocate Capitol news bureau and Matthew Daly of The Associated Press contributed to this report.

1. How the Profession Is Organized in New York
The majority of jobs that require accounting skills in New York do not require you to be licensed as a Certified Public Accountant, commonly known as a CPA. However, if you wish to practice public accounting without restrictions, becoming a licensed CPA is essential. This guide looks at everything that you as a foreign-educated accountant must do to become eligible for CPA testing and licensing in New York. At the same time, it includes some background and tips on the larger accounting profession to give you an idea of the variety of opportunities available as you work to rebuild your career.
Regulating Certified Public Accountants
The New York Board of Public Accountancy is part of the New York State Education Department Office of the Professions and regulates one part of the accounting profession: the Certified Public Accountant, also known as a C.P.A. or CPA. If you use any of these terms to describe yourself or your business for work in New York, then you must be either registered or licensed as a CPA with the Board. Before you can be eligible, you also must pass the Uniform CPA Exam. The Board will authorize you to take the exam, which is administered by CPA Examination Services, a division of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA).
Changes to regulation
New York has allowed up to three different pathways (combinations of education and experience) for CPA candidates that require varying degrees of education and experience. This article only discusses option 1 in detail.
- 150 semester hours of qualifying education plus accounting experience equivalent to 1 year of full-time work
- 120 semester hours of qualifying education plus accounting experience equivalent to 2 years of full-time work [Note: this pathway is being eliminated; you are only eligible if you already submitted your licensing application before August 1, 2009]
- No educational requirements but 15 years of qualifying accounting experience under a licensed CPA
Trends in US Accounting
Accounting, as a field, is undergoing rapid change, including:
- Increased regulation of accounting
- Technologies allowing CPAs to work across state lines and internationally
- Pressures to standardize at all levels: within state regulatory organizations, across state lines, international financial reporting standards.
The goal of these initiatives is to facilitate business and to increase comparability and reliability of financial statements from different sources.
Employment in Accounting
Salaries in the accounting field vary widely depending on education, credentials, experience, field of practice, and size of an organization. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average income of salaried (not self-employed) accountants and auditors was $61,690 in May 2010.
Accounting can be broken down into 4 major fields:
- Public accountants, also called external auditors
- Government accountants and auditors
- Management accountants
- Internal auditors
Of these, public accounting and government accounting stand out as areas with the greatest job opportunities for either CPAs or accountants. CPAs have an employment advantage in these fields when they are competing against non-CPA accountants.
Public accounting
Public accounting in particular has standards that require the use of licensed. Also, the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley law tightened regulations on public accounting practices and increased the need for CPAs to help companies meet these new requirements.
Government accounting
With the economic downturn and major problems in the financial industry, the US government has become a growing source of jobs for CPAs and accounting and finance professionals. This is because government oversight is increasing in finance; tax work is a steady source of demand as well. The Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service are agencies hiring in large numbers which may also have some presence at the state level in New York. You will need to verify if job openings require you to be a citizen or a permanent resident.
Globalization and international accounting
Special opportunities exist for accountants with knowledge of International Financial Reporting Systems (IFRS) or the earlier International Accounting Standards (IAS). If you can show that you have practiced accounting according to these systems, private companies and accounting firms with an international presence could see this as a real advantage. They need people skilled in IFRS to facilitate international business. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has publicly stated its intention to transition towards IFRS and away from the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that govern most accounting in the United States today. These standards are not yet emphasized in most US accounting programs.
2. Eligibility for CPA License or Registration
All foreign-educated accountants in New York need to go through the five-step process described in this section before becoming licensed as a CPA. To be eligible for a CPA license and the Uniform CPA Exam you will have to demonstrate that you have either completed 150 semester hours of education and 1 year of full-time experience.
New York, unlike most US states, does not grant CPA licensure for passing the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination (IQEX).
Steps to licensing are as follows:
i. Applications for New York CPA License and Uniform CPA Exam
Your first step towards becoming a CPA is to submit an Application for Licensure and First Registration, Form 1, to the Office of the Professions along with a $377 fee. This form needs to be notarized by a notary public. You will also have to apply to the CPA Examination Services of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) in order to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam. All first applicants are required to pay CPA Examination Services an application fee of $126.
ii. Credential and Experience Evaluation
The next step in the process is to submit documentation of your education and experience to the State Board of Public Accountancy. You must fill out Section I of Form 2 (Certification of Professional Education) from your application and send a copy to each institution that you have attended. The institution's administrative offices must complete Section II and submit it together with official copies of your transcripts directly to the Office of the Professions. Staff in the Department of Comparative Education will review the transcripts to decide if they meet New York State's education requirements for licensure.
You will have to demonstrate that your education is equivalent to 150 semester hours including:
- 33 semester hours in accounting with at least one course in each of the following areas: financial accounting and reporting, cost or managerial accounting, taxation, auditing and attestation services
- 36 semester hours in general business electives
- Coursework in business accounting, communications, ethics and professional responsibility, and accounting research
Full details on education requirements are available via links in the Important Links section.
It is important that you submit ALL of your university educational records for evaluation, not just your accounting program, since the Board considers a large range of courses to meet CPA educational qualifications. The New York Board of Public Accountancy requires an overall average in accounting subjects of "C" or better and of "B" at the undergraduate level.
You must also present evidence of one year of full-time experience (or the part-time equivalent) in accounting services. This can include your experience outside the US. If you do not have a year of experience you will have to begin searching for job opportunities in the field.
iii. Meet any academic or experience deficiency
Following review of your degree and experience you will have to meet the deficiencies the State Board of Public Accountancy and the Bureau of Comparative Education identify in order to sit for the examination. You will receive information about what type of courses you must take to be eligible for licensure.
In the case you are notified of a deficiency in your credentials you will have to take courses from an accounting program registered by the New York State Education Department or accredited by an accrediting body accepted by the Department, such as the Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). For a list of accredited programs see the Important Links section.
In the case that you do not have a whole year of full-time experience, you can finish fulfilling the requirement in accounting services or in advice services under the supervision of a CPA licensed in one of the US jurisdictions or a PA licensed in New York State. Acceptable experience may be earned in a public accounting firm, government, private industry or an educational institution. You can begin or finish your experience requirement at any point during the process since the experience is not a requirement for the examination, unless you are applying for the examination on the basis of 15 years of experience.
iv. Uniform CPA Examination
After eligibility to take the examination is determined by the Board, NASBA will issue you a Notice to Schedule (NTS) your Uniform CPA Exam. If you do not receive the NTS after six weeks of submitting a first time Application you should contact CPA Examination Services. Once you have received you NTS you will have to contact Prometric, Inc to schedule the examination.
To qualify for licensing or registration in New York you must pass the Uniform CPA Exam with a score of 75 and you must pass all parts of the examination within an eighteen month window. The different sections of the examination and its respective fee will be discussed in detail in the Tests section. The examination fee will depend on which sections of the examination you wish to take the first time or if you want to take all sections. If you passed part of the Uniform CPA Examination in another jurisdiction, contact CPA Examination Services for an Authorization for Interstate Exchange of Examination Information.
New York will allow applicants who are required to meet the 150 semester hour requirement to sit for the exam when they have completed 120 semester hours of coursework in each of the required areas: financial accounting and reporting, cost or management accounting, taxation, auditing. The license, however, will not be issued until the applicant has met New York 150 semester hour requirement.
v. Receive License
If after passing the Examination you are still fulfilling the experience requirement you will have to complete it before being eligible for your license.
The Board can take a few weeks to examine your file after all the requirements have been met. If your application is approved you will receive a congratulations letter with instructions on how to receive your CPA number. You can begin your work as a CPA once you have the number.
You will have to renew your CPA license every three years and will have to pay a $277 fee every time you renew it.
3. Tests
Uniform CPA Exam - test format and content
Test format
The Uniform CPA Exam is a computer-based exam available 8 months out of the year during divided two month periods (after every 2 month period, there is a 1 month break). The testing company Prometric offers the exam at many sites throughout the US.
There are two types of problems on the exam:
- Multiple choice questions
- Simulations
Simulations are short case studies that put you in a professional situation and ask you to respond as a participant. Each simulation will require you to compose a professional communication as part of your answer, for example, an office memo or letter. There are 2 simulations in each section of the test except Business Environment and Concepts, which has no simulations.
Test content
The exam is divided into four sections. The Uniform CPA Examination Candidate Bulletin describes them as covering the following topics:
- Auditing and Attestation - 4.5 hours: "knowledge of auditing procedures, generally accepted auditing standards and other standards related to attest engagements, and the skills needed to apply that knowledge in those engagements"
- Business Environment and Concepts - 2.5 hours: "knowledge of general business environment and business concepts that candidates need to know in order to understand the underlying business reasons for, and accounting implications of, business transactions, and the skills needed to apply that knowledge"
- Financial Accounting and Reporting - 4 hours: "knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles for business enterprises, not-for-profit organizations, and governmental entities, and the skills needed to apply that knowledge"
- Regulation - 3 hours: "knowledge of federal taxation, ethics, professional and legal responsibilities, and business law, and the skills needed to apply that knowledge"
More detailed content information is available through the Candidate Bulletin and through AIPCA.
You must pass each of the four sections with a score of 75 or higher within 18 months of your first test session.
Uniform CPA Exam - fees and scheduling
The sections of your CPA exam must be paid to the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA). For 2012 these fees are as follows:
- Auditing Section: $195.35
- Financial Accounting Section: $195.35
- Regulation Section: $176.25
- Business Environment and Concepts $176.25
Total: $743.20
4. Time and Costs
Successfully licensing or registering as a CPA in New York depends on many factors. Just some of these include:
- The completeness of your educational and professional records
- Your performance on several tests
- Your free time and how much you can afford to spend
We provide two hypothetical scenarios to show just some of the variety of results that immigrant professionals may find when they seek to become CPAs in New York. Please consider these scenarios as two examples out of many possibilities. Please understand that individual experiences may vary.
Two Hypothetical Scenarios for CPA Licensing:
|More Efficient Scenario
Approximate Time and Cost
|Less Efficient Scenario
Approximate Time and Cost
CPA License Application + Application to CPA Examination Services
Credential and Experience Evaluation
Meet any deficiency
CPA Examination
Receive License
|More Efficient Total
About 10 months + $1,550
|Less Efficient Total
About 4 years + $4,450
5. Other Credentials
There are many credentials available to you as an accountant, some of which you can only earn after becoming a CPA. The Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook for Accountants and Auditors provides many more examples.
No CPA required
- Certified Management Accountant (CMA): this certification requires experience in management accounting, an exam, and continuing education requirements and is offered by the Institute of Management Accountants
- Certified Internal Auditor (CIA): this certification requires work experience in internal auditing and a four-part exam. It is offered by the Institute of Internal Auditors
CPA required
- Certified Information Technology Professional (CITP): this credential shows additional professional development in the area of business technology as it applies to accounting practice. Coursework and exam are offered through the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
- Accredited Business Valuation specialist (ABV): this program reflects special expertise in business valuation and forensic accounting. Coursework and an exam offered through the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
6. Beyond Licensing
Setting up your business
If you plan to have your own accounting business, it is important to know that you may have to go through one more process: licensing as a Public Accountant Firm. This is not required if you plan to do business under "Your Name, CPA" and work alone (in what is called a sole proprietorship). However, if you plan to do business by another name or to include others in your practice you will need to license. Information is available on the New York Board of Public Accountancy website.
Joining a professional association
State and national associations for CPAs provide opportunities for professional development and networking. They also help set help introducing new accounting standards and develop exams, and give information and opinions on policy in New York and across the US. Their websites may offer useful orientation to CPA candidates about the licensing and examination process, including test preparation. They often provide Continuing Professional Education (CPE) to members as well.
- New York State Society of CPAs
- American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
Beyond these two general associations, there are a large variety of professional associations for CPA and accountants generally. These may emphasize functional areas of accounting, different types of workplace or sector, race and ethnicity, gender, or religion. Visit the Resource Board to see some of these associations or to share associations that are not currently listed.
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) requirements
All licensed CPAs in New York State are required to meet Continuing Professional Education requirements (CPE). The mandatory requirements become effective during your second registration period. You will have to report your continuing education requirements on each January 1 - December 31 reporting year (except during the initial registration period). Your may either complete a minimum of 40 contact hours in any recognized subject area or complete a minimum of 24 contact hours concentrated in one subject area. The recognized subject areas are: accounting, auditing, attestation, taxation, advisory services, and specialized knowledge related to specialized industries.
At least 4 of these hours taken during any registration period must be in professional ethics. These 4 credits can count toward the annual CPE requirement in the calendar year that they are completed. Professional associations are often certified CPE providers and are a good starting point for researching CPE options.
Licensing mobility (reciprocity)
There is not a direct reciprocal agreement between New York and other states for licensing at this time. This means that if you earn your CPA license in the state of New York and wish to perform public accounting services to people or organizations in other states, you will need to research the process for that state and learn how to practice temporarily or permanently there. There is a trend towards making CPA practice easier across states.
