The first witness was Stefan F. Tucker, Chair of the ABA Section of Taxation, who presented an overview of the diverse 20,000 member Section that serves as "the national representative of the legal profession with regard to the tax system." Among active Section members and Section leadership, he identified lawyers from the Big Five and other accounting firms, in-house corporate legal staff and full-time law professors, as well as investment firm and trade association representatives; in fact, he said 40% of the Section Committees and Task Forces are chaired by lawyers not in law firms.
Although the Section has not come to a comprehensive agreement on the issue of multidisciplinary practice and the MDP phenomenon today extends beyond tax into areas such as employee benefits, real estate, environmental law, and even litigation and alternative dispute resolution, the Tax Section has found itself at the forefront of the MDP issue. Two weeks ago at its Midwinter Meeting in Orlando, the Section followed the lead of the Toronto Annual Meeting showcase program, "The Ends of the Profession", with an emphasis on the future of tax lawyers.
In preparation for this hearing, Mr. Tucker reviewed the witnesses' comments from the November hearing and, in particular, treatises regarding the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. In sum, multidisciplinary practice is a product of a consumer-driven global economy that presents increasingly complex issues that intermingle finance, accounting, law and other disciplines. The Model Rules fail to recognize these marketplace realities and are now in many respects unnecessary from a consumer point-of-view. Certain aspects of the lawyer regulatory system must be overhauled. The Section considers that a rapid response from the ABA is absolutely necessary. As the train has left the station and headed down the track, the Section urges that the Bar's response be focused on the direction and configuration of the tracks ahead.
In the highly competitive business world, companies expect quick response and focus on cutting costs. In the face of what may be considered the unauthorized practice of law that is happening every day, the customer perceives the bar's UPL efforts as lawyers protecting their pocketbooks rather than the interests of the public. Lawyers can analogize to other professions where at one time 'professionals', such as engineers and architects, had been self-contained and are now members of some other group. In medicine, doctors at one time made the rules that are now being made by health maintenance organizations or large medical service providers. As the law moves to more prepaid legal service plans, these will subordinate the lawyer role to their rules.
Certain of the Model Rules should be rewritten, as they are not protecting the consumer who, if he or she wants a certain lawyer, is willing to waive (or forego the issue of) a conflict. Commenting that lawyers are probably doing more fee-sharing now than they want to admit, he recalled the small city practice of the late '40s, '50s and '60s where the lawyer did real estate title, tax return and insurance brokerage work along with the law to support a practice. In-house counsel, who are paid from corporate earnings, oftentimes also are involved in stock purchase plans and own stock options, so to say that lawyers are not sharing fees is to put one's head in the sand.
Amending MR 5.4 to permit lawyers to enter into partnerships or other fee-sharing arrangements with nonlawyers would not harm the client as long as the client understands the facts. The American Bar Association should spearhead media communications to engender this understanding on an over-all basis through state and local bar groups. Clients believe they benefit from one-stop shopping as demonstrated by the proliferation of the Big Five, American Express, or Century Business Systems approach, as well as passage of an expanded attorney-client privilege to a taxpreparer privilege (on which, from anecdotal information, the AICPA spent $10 million) that is leading to allowing anyone to do just about anything in the tax world.
Clients cross state and national borders every day and the accountants are not shackled by state licensing protectionism the way lawyers are, as exemplified by the strange result in the recent California case that voided fees payable to an out-of-state law firm on a California matter where the work was done in New York. A change in the Model Rules would not risk impairment of a lawyer's independent professional judgment as lawyers already receive contingent fees, interests in a clients entity as a fee, or preferential acquisitions or terms of acquisition on behalf of a client in consideration for services, all of which, in Mr. Tucker's opinion, have a more prejudicial impact on independent professional judgment than fee sharing. A law firm survives because it provides not only legal, but also business or financial, advice to help the clients solve their problems. Failure to abide by the exhortation in the Preamble of the Model Rules that a lawyer maintain communication with the client is the problem most commonly voiced by clients. The confidentiality rule (Model Rule 1.6) that mandates disclosure and informed consent does not need to be changed, as it is clear that the level of sophistication of the client determines the extent of disclosure required for truly informed consent. The notion of imputed knowledge, developed in a generation when every law firm was in one or maybe two or three cities rather than a multinational presence, whose partners in different offices may not even know each other, needs to be revised in a wholesale way.
Rule 7.2(c), prohibiting giving anything of value for recommending the lawyer's services, is also out of touch with reality. 'Unauthorized practice of law' is an increasing reality in our consumer-oriented society so what were once considered 'law-related services' are now offered outside the traditional law practice much as lawyers routinely performed real estate title, insurance brokerage and tax preparation services a generation ago. The Model Rules should not discipline law firms or MDPs for the action of one lawyer if there has been no actual exchange of information within the law firm - discipline should be focused on the individual lawyer. Jim Holden's recommendation of a federal level commission to regulate lawyers in a multidisciplinary setting is not favored as the Tax Section doesn't think the federal government should set lawyer rules. The ABA, however, must take a leadership role and bring the states along. Lawyers should be guiding their wagons, not circling them around evanescent notions, as multidisciplinary practice represents the future of the legal profession.
Professor Daly started off the questioning. In response to her inquiry, Mr. Tucker said that Rule 5.4 should be amended to allow fee-sharing in providing any professional services, not just legal services as in the D. C. model. The Rule should be changed to omit all partnership restrictions in one and not two steps. The Rule 7.2(c) referral constraint was considered too broad and an example of bad facts, such as ambulance chasing, making bad law. Mr. Tucker thought that there should be no regulation of the law firm or group in toto: lawyers' rules, including the supervision mandates, should govern individual lawyer conduct. Internal organizational rules should discipline the employee. The market, through civil damages and impairment of reputation, will regulate the MDP. The ABA should take the lead in overhauling the ethics rules, and its leadership must permeate to the state level in order to allow cross-border practice. The interstate commerce clause was offered as a possible override to eliminate state barriers. Mr. Tucker thinks a lawyer should be responsible for those working under him or her.
When Mr. Wander questioned how much disclosure was necessary to communicate to the client that another firm office was working against the client's interest as a predicate to informed consent, Mr. Tucker talked about creating a 'wall' on the order of Big Five practice, much like what was allowed in the instance of an ex-government employee. To the comment "We're not going to tell you because we don't know," Mr. Tucker responded that a lawyer can't know everything. Presented with a hypothetical where open files in the firm are available to lawyers and nonlawyers, the nonlawyer supervisor tells the lawyer to do something unethical and the lawyer does it and only the lawyer is subject to discipline, Mr. Tucker reiterated that only the individual lawyer should be responsible and that discipline of lawyers in the big law firms in reality currently follows this model.
Judge Friedman then asked how you communicate the reach of confidentiality to a client in a multidisciplinary practice. Mr. Tucker answered that the lawyer should tell the client what is privileged. Although there is a devolution of privilege today, it is not as broad as it was once thought to be.
Mr. Nelson asked to what extent will an organization of several different professions attribute to lawyers what the firm's nonlawyers do. Where lawyers are in charge there is no question, but if a lawyer is not in charge of the matter, Mr. Tucker felt the marketplace would mete out the damages; Mr. Nelson, however, questioned whether there would be damages if no rule had been violated.
Mr. Mundheim queried whether requiring the law firm to operate as a separate entity, with the nonlegal elements owning less than 50%, would allow lawyers clearly to be in control and better carry forward certain legal traditions. Mr. Tucker thinks that today's realities must be faced, and that the separate entity approach is not the answer. He eschewed the percentage control notion by talking about a tax lawyer's creative way of shifting profits and determining costs, deductions and offsets to allow 50% ownership to reside in one entity while shifting 75% of profits elsewhere. He said it's the practical ramification that should be thought through, and that, by defining the lawyer's lines of responsibility, the same thing can be accomplished in a MDP.
Dean Powell commented that law practice is by nature interdisciplinary; lawyer rules ought to exist for the benefit of clients; and the marketplace should be allowed to operate. The Chair commented that all but one of the Big Five have indicated that they are going to try cases in Tax Court. Although Tax Court rules prohibit a practitioner's appearance in three instances - those who have been involved in planning the transaction, who represent more than one person in conflicting interests in the same matter or who are potential witnesses, neither the IRS nor the Tax Court is going to object to "violation" of these Tax Court rules.

How to Put Your Wig On
Cleaning the Human Hair Wigs
Human hair wigs is durable, generally costs more, and has the most natural look and feel of any wig you can buy. And can be dyed and treated the same as any human hair that grows from the scalp.
It is advised you take it to a profession stylist for restyle. For a synthetic wig, a simple shake and go method works just fine. Place the wig on its wig stand and use hot rollers or a curling iron on a low setting to style the hair to your liking.
You can clip and pin different sections for a change of style, but as you get used to the wig, you will most likely find that you do not have to do anything if at all in maintaining its style.
When not in use, always put your wig on a mannequin or wig stand to maintain its shape. Frequency of cleaning will depend on your environment, lifestyle and amount of perspiration. Suggested guidelines for cleaning are after 10 to 14 days of wear.

A Discussion With Liam Lynch (aka Olly of Sifl & Olly)
They came like a hallucination: two sock puppets babbling about pop and consumer cultures, sometimes ranting, other times singing songs of crafted nonsense like "Crescent Fresh," "Fake Blood" and "Rock and Roll Friends."
The Sifl and Olly Show ran for two seasons on MTV between 1997 and 1999 (a third was filmed, never aired and eventually released on DVD). Like many cult phenomena, these perfectly absurd puppets seemed to own just a fleeting moment in entertainment history, but now they are back to make us feel like stoned college kids all over again. Machinima has signed the duo for a new series, Sifl and Olly: Video Game Reviews, which is being sold as: "Real reviews for fake games." (The press release further clarifies: "All game footage, screen grabs, demos, soundtracks and cover art are completely fake.")
Liam Lynch, the series' co-creator is here with us to talk sock in the discussion below. Very cres of him.

Over 4,000 unique images
All vintage originals - we do not sell reproductions!
Colorful paper labels have been used to identify products since the early 1880s. Introduced to America by European artists, this profession became known as lithography, the first commercial art. The goal was easy: catch the customer's eye. As the fruit market grew larger each season, immense competition at the local markets erupted. Orchard owners used this new concept of lithography to bring attention to their fruit. Labels were used on everything including cedar crates full of fruit, cans of vegetables, and boxes of cigars.
In the 1950's, the development of pre-printed cardboard boxes caused wooden crates with paper labels to be a thing of the past. Unused stocks of labels remained undiscovered for years in old barns across the country. Labels were slowly being gathered by historians, collectors, and art lovers. These rescued labels form the remaining stock of labels available for purchase today. We guarantee all of the labels we sell to be originals. We do not sell reproductions.

At Reebok, they don't believe that " a blocker is just a blocker". It is a key piece of equipment for maximum coverage and better stick handling. The Premier 4 blocker is built with these key elements in mind.
The blocker board is one of the thicker boards on the market. It is made of an .8mm poly, a 1" PE foam, and a 3/8" HD foam that creates a lightweight, solid blocking and coverage surface. The board position is centered over the goalie's backhand giving it a nice, balanced feel. The nose of the board is beveled for paddle down play.
The side hand protection is substantial. It features a large, HD foam inside thumb and wrist blocking surface, with a softer air pillow between the palm thumb and the side hand board. In addition, a smaller HD foam forefinger protector sits beneath the main side shield to help protect against pucks that ride up the paddle towards the palm. Goalies who turn their hands outward while in the buttefly position will enjoy the substantial amount of protection and coverage afforded by these shields.
The palm is made of durable synthetic leather with grip for easier stick handling, as well as mesh finger gussets for ventilation. The fingers are wrapped on the back and the sides by HD foam shilds, and they also feature thinner foam padding on the back of the finger stalls for added protection. A single wrist strap provides a custom fit, and a detatched cuff allows for great wrist mobility.
Measure your hand from the heel of the palm to the tip of the middle finger, then consult the chart below to find the size that will work for you.
Key to a Proper Fit:
The blocker should be fitted based on hand size. The goalie's fingers should be no more than 1/4" from the end of the fingers in the palm. If the fingers are too long, chances are the hand tabs that tie down the palm to the blocker are too large. This will cause the blocker to wobble, tilt or rotate on the goaltender's hand, seriously affecting control while limiting coverage (blocking surface).

A couple of weeks ago I asked for some suggestions for blog article topics on the forum. One of the topics suggested was "adding/creating visual styles/textures". That's a bit of a softball topic after the Virtual Components posts. Still, it's important, and maybe a topic that new users will benefit from.
As is becoming usual for me when I learn new Solid Edge functionality, something that originally looked simple becomes much more involved once I start diving into the details. At first, I only saw the Part Painter, View Overrides and the Color Manager when looking for color controls. Solid Edge gives an amazing level of control when it comes to creating new styles of visual options.
Setting the Style
The Style (View > Style > Styles) dialog is the beginning of a wild journey of visual and display customization options. In the top selection box, the two items we are most concerned with at this time are the 3D View Styles and the Faces Styles. We have talked about the Dimension styles options in a previous article on units and standards.
Color is not the only visual property that you can control for Solid Edge parts. Face Styles in Solid Edge consist of the following factors
From all of these available settings, you can either modify existing styles or create your own from scratch. This functionality is much more powerful than I initially thought.
To the right is a part with a special style that I made just to show what can be done. Yes, I realize it's ridiculous, but there will come a day when someone needs to makes something like this, and now they can do it. First, I assigned a Diffuse color of purple, then a red specular color, and a light blue ambient, with an Emission of dark blue. Emission is the color the object would emit if it were a light bulb (great way to make glowing lights on models). Under Appearance, I made it very shiny, and in Reflection Box, I assigned a picture of the sky. Then I set up the lights in the View Overrides dialog, which we will come to shortly. There are also some shadow settings which enable a part to cast shadows on itself if the lights are in the right position. This part above is shown upside down, so there is a shadow on the inside.
If you haven't caught on by now, what I'm saying is that Solid Edge parts don't have to look so dull and drab. And you don't need a rendering package or an art degree to make parts/assemblies/scenes that look a little more interesting. The main thing you need here is an interesting image in the Reflection Box panel, and parts that are at least a little bit reflective. Shadows also help a scene look more realistic.
Ok, so that's how to create a style that is interesting.
Painting Parts
To apply a style to a part, use the Part Painter tool. The Part Painter is easy to use once you get the workflow down. If you just start flailing away at it, you'll get frustrated, so stop pounding the keyboard and read this for a second.
To use the Part Painter, first, initiate the tool by clicking on the icon, shown to the right.
Once you do that, you'll get the Command Bar shown here to the left. I'm using the vertical Command Bar. If you use the horizontal setting, you will see something else.
You won't hear me say this often, but ignore the Prompt Bar. It tells you to "Click on elements to apply paint to". Besides being grammatically tenuous, it is also leaving out some details.
First, you need to set the style that you want to apply. Then set the selection type you want to apply the style to. If you want to color a selection of faces that aren't a feature, just click Face, then make your selection. The style is applied as soon as you make the selection.
When you're dealing with colors/styles, on multiple levels of the model, such as faces, features, bodies, components, instances, etc, you need to remember that there is a hierarchy for overrides. And then there are some options to override the overrides. Hang on, this gets a little bumpy.
The part color is overridden by the
So if you remove a Face color and there is no Feature or Body color, the face will return to the default Part color. To remove a color, use the Part painter, with the Style set to None, and then select the faces you want to set back to the default style.
This override business takes a little getting used to, but it will help you make sense of a part or assembly with multiple layers of Styles applied to it. When you have an assembly of parts, it is best to change the color (ahem, style) of individual parts in the part window rather than in the assembly window. Doing this will help you from becoming more confused than necessary regarding the overrides.
Color Manager
The first place you need to check before starting to change the colors of parts is the Color Manager (View > Style > Color Manager). This enables you to use global settings for all parts, or each part file can control its own color. When global settings are used (called Use Solid Edge Options color settings in the Color Manager dialog), Active, Inactive, and Construction (surface parts) are controlled as groups.
The Solid Edge Options color settings can be found at the Application Menu > Solid Edge Options Colors, and allows you the settings shown below. Using the Color Scheme selection at the top, you can establish various settings for different color schemes. For example, you might have different color schemes for working with surfaces, large assemblies, electrical assemblies, or if you're a contractor, different customers might require different color settings.
The advantage to this way of working is that all the parts are the same color, but features with different functions will be colored differently and be easier to identify quickly. In most situations, I see the "Individual Part Styles" option as being the best.
The dropdown color selection lists (for the Construction in the image below for example) offer you a list of color names spelled out with options such as clear, dull and glass. This makes it easy to get the same color every time, as opposed to a visual selector where matching colors can be difficult.
The options at the bottom of the Color Manager are:
View Overrides
The final area to talk about with Solid Edge styles/colors is the View Overrides dialog. This was one of the first functions I leaned in Solid Edge because the gradient background can be turned off in the Background tab of this dialog. Let's go through the options available here.
The Perspective option enables you to select none, 85, 50, and 30mm. The smaller the number, the more severe the perspective. Remember that most non-CAD users are used to seeing images without perspective. As CAD users we get used to all the edge being parallel, but others might be put off by that effect. So when you are putting together marketing images, or especially when you talk to an industrial designer, make sure to include perspective.
Antialias is what the computer does to smooth out jagged lines caused by angled or curved edges on a computer display. Solid Edge gives you None, Low, Medium and High setting options. High looks better, but it will tax your performance to some extent, especially when you have a large number of edges on the screen.
Render mode is just talking about regular shaded rendering, not photorealistic rendering. I like to work with "Smooth with VHL Overlay" turned on, but sometimes for presentation images, I turn off the VHL (visible hidden lines) option.
The toggles at the bottom of the Rendering tab are mainly self-explanatory. The toggles exist to simplify the display and save some compute power in large assemblies.
I have not yet discovered what Depth Fading does, although I would assume it would apply some equivalent of "depth of field" where items in the background are progressively out-of-focus.
Something to watch out for here is that the lights are tied to the Style. So parts may have different lighting arrangements that are based on the applied style. But also notice that the second tab on the View Overrides is a Lights tab. So you can override the lighting situation in the assembly. Lights can be of various colors, and come down from an adjustable angle.
The Background tab enables you to use a plain color (default white), a gradient color, or an image background. I prefer the white background for capturing blog images, but most people seem to use the default gray gradient. I set all my document templates to use the white background.
The final tab is the reflection box. This is where you can put an image to reflect on your parts. Having some sort of reflection helps make parts more realistic. You can look on the internet to find all sorts of industrial setting images, such as the inside of a factory. If your parts are reflecting a plain white background, they may as well not have any reflective property at all. Even an image of the sky can give images of parts a nice touch.
Solid Edge is far more advanced in the display options area than anyone has let on. I must say you guys are really good at keeping secrets. How things look is really a secondary function for a CAD product. The important thing is the ability to get the geometry and engineering right. But if you could use your CAD tool instead of a dedicated rendering software to create passable presentation images, wouldn't that be a good thing?
This is great, but what do i need to do to match a given RGB color? I need to change the material face color to the color below. If you notice this pallet uses whole numbers for the RGB, SE uses (0.0 - 1.0).
Right. I agree with you there. I think they need a more standardized system at least for specifying colors exactly, but also maybe a Windows standard interface as well.
RGB values can be either represented as a percentage (as in Solid Edge), as a value between 0 and 255. You will need to find a method to convert the 255 range value to a percentage (Example: Divide B=186 by 255 for "B=0.73").
Right, but where do you access that?
I see a RGB/HSI interface for Lights under View Overrides, and also under Styles, but pretty well buried.
Pantone color is another standard that I think SE should add. Especially if interested in consumer product design.
I think these things will come, we may just have to be patient.
Just to clarify, I do have access to ST7 if I want it, but I haven't even looked at it precisely because I can't talk about it in public, and most of my job is talking in public. So I know as much (or less) as anyone else about what's coming.
You are right that there are 256 colors, but color 255 should be an equivalent of 1.0 % and it doesn't work if you divide 255 by 256.
Actually you would only divide by 255. Although there are a total of 256 colours, the starting 0 is not included in the maths.
If you have a range from 0 to 100 you have a total of 101 numbers. However when you convert that range to a percentage you do not divide by 101 but by 100:
100 / 100 = 1.00 not 100 / 101 = 0.99
Nor would you add 1 to the starting number to compensate for incorrectly using 101:
1 / 100 = 0.01 not 1 + 1 / 101 = 0.02
Works the same way when converting the RGB values.
From Wikipedia:
"…RGB values are usually given in the 0–255 range; if they are in the 0–1 range, the values are multiplied by 255 before conversion…"

Lamar Joseph Odom (born November 6, 1979) is an American professional basketball forward with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association.

A young harbor seal was discovered in a state fish hatchery in the town of Sandwich in Cape Cod. There she had her pick of delicious trout to eat. Her all-you-can eat buffet came to an end, however, when the Cape Cod Stranding Network captured the seal, tagged her, and released her back into the Atlantic in West Dennis.
What is interesting is the tremendous journey this seal had to make to reach the hatchery. According to Misty Niemeyer of the Cape Cod Stranding Network, the seal would have had to waddle on land for 2 miles, including stretches on the boardwalk and through a tunnel under Route 6A.
For more information, see Boston.com's article: "Hungry Seal Hits Bonanza at Fish Hatchery"
