One of the a lot of important business decisions a business buyer will accomplish is to accept a acknowledged commodity through which to conduct business. Generally times, the accommodation is narrowed down to two types of entities: (1) the California S Association (S Corp), or the California apprenticed accountability aggregation (LLC). Both the California S Corp and the LLC accommodate capricious levels of claimed asset aegis for the business owner, capricious tax advantages and disadvantages, and capricious complication in the day to day operations of the business, amidst added differences. The purpose of this commodity is to highlight some of the key differences if authoritative the best amid a California LLC or a California S Corp.
Important Considerations If Choosing a Business Entity.
Owners of anew formed businesses generally accretion allocation out the differences amid the two entities to be overwhelming. However, as a accepted rule, if chief whether or not to adapt as a S Corp or a LLC it is usually a lot of advantageous to attenuated the focus on three key areas that will be important considerations for a business owner:
Limiting abeyant claimed accountability to the owners from the liabilities associated with the business, and the requisite formalities associated with advance such apprenticed liability;
Limiting abeyant taxes associated with the business; and
Acclamation any added appropriate affairs applicative or important to the owners.
Achieving the Goal of the Owners with Basal Compromise.
However, afore acclamation these three issues, it is important to aboriginal actuate how abounding owners the new commodity will accept (referred to as "shareholders" in the ambience of an S Corp, and "members" in the ambience of a LLC). The bulk of owners is actual important. Determining the a lot of important application area there is alone buyer is almost straightforward. However, in representations involving added than one owner, anniversary buyer will generally accept differing objectives or areas which they feel are the key antecedence for the business. For example, accustomed two owners, the aboriginal owner's antecedence could be to access assertive tax after-effects aloft all else, while the added buyer may be added anxious with adaptability with account to buying interests, or the allocation of the businesses' profits and loss. In this situation, it is usually best for the advocate to yield a footfall back, attending at the all-embracing purpose of the owner's business, and accept the commodity which would best accomplish the capricious goals of the buyer with basal compromises.
An Overview of the California S Corporation.
An S Association is a acknowledged commodity which banned the abeyant claimed accountability to the owners from the liabilities associated with the business, provided that it is appropriately formed and maintained.
1. S Association – To Absolute Liability, Respecting Accumulated Formalities is Essential.
With commendations to able accumulated formation, abominably I accept apparent too abounding instances area a association was initially formed for a basal cost, by a non-lawyer, application an online account (who usually adulterate the account they are offering), or by some added means, but afresh already the basal anniversary of accepting the formed Articles of Incorporation from the California Secretary of Accompaniment is achieved, there is never any chase through with any of the added abstracts that are appropriate beneath California law. The end aftereffect is that the association is break formed, and appropriate from the onset, the owners accept needlessly apparent themselves to accountability in the anatomy that at some point in the future, an afflicted affair may auspiciously "pierce the accumulated veil". What does this mean? It agency that an afflicted affair may attending through the association to the claimed assets of the owner.
With commendations to able aliment of a corporation, a California S Association accept to beam assertive accumulated formalities. In allegory to a California apprenticed accountability company, it is generally anticipation that the S Corp has added crushing aliment requirements than the LLC. In added words, the S Corp is the added academic commodity amid the two.
For example, if the S Corp is alleged as the entity, in adjustment to allow best apprenticed accountability aegis (and abstain the abeyant for a acute action): (1) the association should appropriately notice, ascendancy and certificate anniversary affairs of the shareholders and directors, in accession to any appropriate affairs of the lath of admiral all-important to accredit and assert assertive accumulated acts, (2) the association should appropriate book all appropriate abstracts appropriate beneath applicative law; (2) the association should be adjourned with a acceptable bulk of capital, and should not be clumsily capitalized; (3) the owners should accumulate the corporation's accumulated minute book in adjustment and up to date, and should assurance all abstracts area the association is a party, in their accommodation as an administrator or accustomed abettor of the corporation; and (4) accumulated funds should never be circuitous with added claimed funds of the owners.
2. S Association – Tax Considerations.
In general, a S Association does not pay federal assets taxes. Instead, the corporation's assets or losses are disconnected a allotment of and anesthetized through to the shareholders pro rata in accordance with their buying interest. The shareholders accept to afresh address the assets or accident on their own alone assets tax allotment (this anatomy of taxation agency makes the S Association a blazon of "flow through" entity). This breeze through taxation of an S Association is altered from a C Corporation, because there is alone a tax at the actor level. The owners in a C Association on the added duke acquaintance what is alleged "double taxation" in that the commodity is burdened alone from the shareholders. In added words, aboriginal the association is taxed, and afresh the shareholders are aswell taxed.
Although the S Corporation's abstention of bifold taxation in the anatomy of canyon through taxation is generally beheld as one of its primary advantages, one application that can be beheld as a disadvantage is that there are austere accommodation requirements for S corporations.
It is aswell important to agenda that agnate to a LLC, the S Corp accept to pay an $800 California accompaniment authorization tax for the advantage of accomplishing business in California. However, and one big advantage of the S Association is that it avoids the gross receipts tax of the LLC, in which gross receipts of an LLC over $250,000 are taxed.
3. S Association – Added Considerations.
Eligibility Requirements of the S Corporation.
For a association to be acceptable for S cachet it accept to attach to adequately austere actor requirements. For example, a S Association accept to absolute the bulk of acceptable shareholders to 100; the shareholders accept to be individuals who are United States citizens or acknowledged United States association (this agency that accession association cannot be a actor in a S Corporation), or the actor accept to be a assertive blazon of able assurance or estate. If there is a able assurance that is a actor of an S corporation, anniversary abeyant accepted almsman of the assurance is advised as a abstracted shareholder. Related shareholders, whether owning shares anon or by accounted buying as a almsman of a trust, may be advised as a alone actor pursuant to ancestors allegation rules.
Another actual important claim is that S Corporations are apprenticed to alone one chic of stock, and in that attention are beneath adjustable with account to appropriate bread-and-butter agreement that you would generally accretion in a apprenticed accountability aggregation Operating Agreement.
Management and Ascendancy of the S Corporation.
The three key categories apropos administration and ascendancy in an S Association are the (i) Directors, (ii) Officers, and (iii) Shareholders. Corporations are managed by a Lath of Directors, who accredit admiral to run the circadian business operations of the corporation. The Admiral (including a President, Secretary, and Treasurer) are advised agents for the corporation, and are accepted with ascendancy to bind the corporation. Shareholders (in added words, the owners) accept the Lath of Directors, but accept no appropriate to participate in the circadian administration of the corporation, unless adopted as a director, or appointed as an officer. In a archetypal baby business S Corporation, it is not aberrant to for a alone alone Shareholder/owner to aswell serve as both an Administrator and/or a Administrator (in accession to their buying role as a shareholder).
Transfer Issues in a S Corporation.
In the ambience of a S corporation, buying is apparent by banal certificates, which accept to be issued to anniversary buyer as allotment of the accumulated formation. Usually, cogent changes in buying in a association are memorialized in a Banal Purchase Agreement, Asset Purchase Agreement, or occasionally, added forms of accretion or alteration documents. Whenever banal (sometimes referred to as shares) are transferred, it is consistently actual important to thoroughly analysis the accumulated abstracts to actuate if the shares are apprenticed any Actor Agreement (also sometimes referred to as a Buy-Sell Agreement) which may abode limitations on transferability.
An Overview of the California Apprenticed Accountability Company.
Similar to the California S Corporation, a California apprenticed accountability aggregation is a acknowledged commodity which affords its owners aegis from abeyant claimed accountability associated with the business, but afresh with the accident that such commodity is appropriately formed and maintained.
1. LLC – Airy Requirements Compared to S-Corporation, But Don't Get Too Relaxed.
With attention to formation, to anatomy a California apprenticed accountability company, the owners accept to book Articles of Organization (as against to the Articles of Incorporation filed for a corporation), accede on key business credibility to be categorical in a aggregation Operating Agreement, book a Statement of Information with the California Secretary of State, amidst assorted added requirements which are above the ambit of this article. Unfortunately, too abounding times I accept apparent LLC aggregation kits in my appointment area the Articles of Organization for the LLC were filed and then, not abundant abroad happened afterwards that. In such cases, typically, the associates certificates are not issued, no Statement of Information was anytime filed, and an bare "plain vanilla" (although the online account that awash it bills it as "custom") Operating Agreement lies in the aggregation kit, bearding and untouched. The bearings is circuitous added if several years afterwards accumulation a altercation amidst owners arises about distributions or allocations, and the key business agreement (that were to become a academic Operating Agreement) are instead active in almost categorical emails. Needless to say, this is not something you should let appear with your business.
With attention to maintenance, a California apprenticed accountability aggregation is generally anticipation of as accepting airy requirements with account to formalities in allegory to a S Corp. Although affairs are not required, we advance that the owner(s) still appropriately notice, ascendancy and certificate affairs of the associates to bolster the claimed apprenticed accountability protection.
2. LLC – Tax Considerations.
For federal assets tax purposes, by default, an LLC is advised by as a flow-through entity. This means, that if there is alone one affiliate in the LLC, the LLC is advised as a breeze through commodity for tax purposes, and profits and losses would be appear on Schedule C of the owner's alone assets tax return. In the accident there are assorted members, the absence aphorism is that the LLC is burdened as partnership, which is appropriate to address assets and accident on IRS Anatomy 1065. Beneath affiliation tax treatment, anniversary affiliate of the LLC annually receives a Anatomy K-1 advertisement the member's distributive allotment of the LLC's assets or accident that is afresh appear on the member's alone assets tax return. It is important to agenda that an LLC may accept to be burdened in added means that are above the ambit of this article.
Similar to the S Corporation, a California LLC accept to pay the $800 California accompaniment authorization tax. However, one cogent disadvantage for a business operating as an LLC is that it accept to pay an added California tax on gross receipts over $250,000. This is an anniversary tax, and its aftereffect can be apparent in the table below:
LLC Fee
California "Total Income"
$250,000 or more, but beneath than $500,000
$500,000 or more, but beneath than $1,000,000
$1,000,000 or more, but beneath than $5,000,000
$5,000,000 or more
In added words, depending on income, a California business operating as an LLC could be accountable to an added $11,790 tax which is not taxable to a S Corporation.
3. S Association – Added Considerations.
Eligibility Requirements
In allegory to the S Corporation, the LLC is a added adjustable entity, both in agreement of who can be an owner, and the alignment of bread-and-butter administration arrange amid the members. For example, a LLC would be active area two ally adapted to be according owners but accept a asymmetric allocation of profits and losses.
Management and Control.
As compared to a S Corporation, a California LLC is a abundant added adjustable with account to administration and ascendancy issues. In allegory to the Officer, Directors, and Shareholders who anniversary play abstracted roles in a S Corporation, an a LLC, administration and ascendancy lies either with the associates (in a so alleged "member-managed LLC") or with the managers (in a so alleged "manager-managed LLC"). The key aberration is that in a affiliate managed LLC, anniversary affiliate is accustomed as an abettor to bind the LLC by advantage of membership, admitting in a administrator managed LLC, there is a centralized administration board in the anatomy of the managing members.
Transfer Issues.
Similar to the S corporation, transferability of a member's absorption can be able calmly so continued as it is not precluded in the Operating Agreement or some added acknowledged certificate such as a Associates Buy/Sell Agreement. Afore the alteration of any LLC Associates Interest, one should consistently argue the accoutrement of the LLC Operating Agreement to analysis for any alteration restrictions.
What Commodity Should I Accept For My California Business?
In any new business, it is important to consistently accumulate the three key areas in mind, namely: (i) apprenticed accountability and the formalities appropriate to advance it; (ii) the tax consequences; and (iii) appropriate affairs applicative to the owners. There is no "one admeasurement fits all" acknowledged entity, and the best accept to be fabricated with accurate application about the continued appellation ramifications.

The death of Pete Seeger last January sent at least one Beloiter back to a memorable Friday night in March of 1956, when the folk singer, songwriter, and activist performed "Wemoweh" and other songs in Eaton Chapel during an evening "two-pointer" (students were required to attend chapel events for points throughout the semester).
Peter Mitchell'58 recalls Seeger as an instant success and describes the concert as a seminal event that turned many of his contemporaries into early folk music junkies, banjo and guitar players, and even makers of steel drums.
"Everyone joined in the singing, and we were having a great time," recalls Mitchell, "even some of our more stoic faculty members."

Lee Scratch Perry & Subatomic Sound System live on tour across North America Jan 12-28 for Dub Champions Festival in support of the top ranking new "Super Ape Returns To Conquer" album.
After Lee "Scratch" Perry defined dub music with his seminal 1976 Super Ape concept album, the musical genius, at age 81, returns with Subatomic Sound System showing off a new style on a new album, Super Ape Returns to Conquer, which reincarnates the magic of Perry's Black Ark studio in Jamaica, digging even deeper in classic Ethiopian horns & percussion, while reinvigorating the sound with beats for today's music heads. Perry's live concert with NYC's Subatomic Sound System is a fluid combination of improvisational electronic and acoustic-based performance. Subatomic is spearheaded by producer/instrumentalist/DJ Emch on the live dub mix and includes legendary Jamaican percussionist Larry McDonald and Troy Shaka Simms (Brooklyn Gypsies) on saxophone.
After mentoring and producing Bob Marley at a turning point in his career, Perry went on to create a blueprint for where most music has arrived 41 years later. Today it is commonplace for a producer to be considered an artist, work from a home studio, sample and remix existing songs, and have the beat and bassline at the forefront of the song, perhaps replacing singing with rhythmic talking or with echoes and effects and no vocals at all. In 1976, it was unheard of, and even unacceptable, but Perry did it.
Subatomic Sound System first worked with Perry in 2007 doing a series of dubstep remixes for Dubblestandart. Subatomic also produced music involving David Lynch, Anthony B, Elephant Man, Ari Up of The Slits, and more. At the forefront of dub music's renaissance, Subatomic founded the US & Europe Dub Champions Festival, toured worldwide with Perry, performing at major festivals including Coachella, Red Bull Music Academy, Ableton Loop Berlin, Central Park SummerStage, Ozora, Infrasound and more.

Looking at Effective C++
The first two editions of Effective C++ were embraced by hundreds of thousands of programmers worldwide. The reason is clear: Scott Meyers' practical approach to C++ describes the rules of thumb used by the experts--the things they almost always do or almost always avoid doing--to produce clear, correct, efficient code.
The book is organized around 55 specific guidelines, each of which describes a way to write better C++. Each is backed by concrete examples. For this third edition, more than half the content is new, including added chapters on managing resources and using templates. Topics from the second edition have been extensively revised to reflect modern design considerations, including exceptions, design patterns, and multithreading.
The third edition of Scott Meyers' classic Effective C++ was published in May, so we caught up with Scott to talk about his view of the the current C++ computing landscape.
LinuxPlanet: In your book you discuss the many changes that have occurred in the C++ universe since 1991. When it comes to C++ as a language, what do you see as the most significant change in the past decade?
Scott Meyers: There is no doubt that the most significant change has been what we might call "the rise of templates." Templates were originally envisioned as a way to support "containers of T," but we now recognize that they are vastly more powerful than that. The STL, the notion of generic programming, policy-based design, template metaprogramming, and expression templates are all technologies that have proved their practical worth and that require template capabilities beyond containers of T. All modern C++ libraries take advantage of the power of templates, and in fact the notion of "modern" C++ programming is virtually synonymous with programming that makes liberal use of templates. That's why the new edition of Effective C++ not only contains a chapter devoted to templates, it also mentions them throughout the book. You can't be an effective C++ programmer these days without having a good understanding of how to use templates.
LP: Are there any other changes that are as pervasive as the rise of templates?
Meyers: The other big change concerns the impact of exceptions on well-designed and well-implemented software systems. When exceptions were first introduced into C++, most people thought that their use was pretty straightforward and that the main issue was learning how to master the syntax and language rules. In fact, the syntax and language rules turn out to be rather unimportant. What was unanticipated--what took years to really understand--is that software that is well-behaved in the presence of exceptions looks quite different from software that doesn't worry about exceptions. Fortunately, there is a small core of techniques that make writing exception-safe code more or less straightforward, and those techniques are referred to repeatedly in the new edition of Effective C++. The most important of the techniques is to use objects to manage resources, a topic I devote most of a chapter to.

RAIDframe -> Softraid
I don't often ask for OpenBSD administrative advice, I usually provide it...whether or not it is correct advice.
One of my servers uses RAIDframe in a root-on-RAID configuration. I've had bad sectors on one of the drives multiple times, and with RAIDframe have had no unscheduled downtime. I've taken drives out of service, "repaired" bad sectors by having the drive replace them from spare, and placed them back into service, without rebooting. No sector failures in the last 18 months, though.
I use Softraid on my netbook, with the CRYPTO discipline, to encrypt /home at rest. I use it with a DUID so that it mounts regardless of sd # assignment. I like Softraid, it is easier to provision and manage than RAIDframe. But it is not quite yet "production RAID" ready, as root-on-RAID is not yet possible. Altroot provides a method to recover from a failed root drive, but the root drive remains a single point of failure.
That said, root-on-RAID is coming to -current. Soon. I am thinking about becoming an early adopter. As such, I want to know if I'll be in the minority, or among the majority.
An informal poll is attached to this thread, with questions for the community regarding your administration of software RAID implementations. If you administrate any OpenBSD system, even if its just a single workstation for personal use, please respond to the poll, whether or not you use any RAID implementations at all.
I'm also seeking advice from anyone who has gone down the path of softraid for RAID management (as opposed to CRYPTO) already, before root-on-RAID is available.
Edit: You may select multiple choices, if you manage multiple RAID environments.
Edit: please consider storage that is an externally managed RAID subsystem equivalent to BIOS-managed, when responding to the poll.

softraid for crypto here. All actual RAID arrays are hardware-based.
Linux/Network-Security Engineer by Profession. OpenBSD user by choice.
There seems to be a problem with the forum's poll statistics software. E.g., right now there appear 6 responses, and each is treated as 20% = 1/5. If this is a known problem sorry to have interjected.
Six responses from five people. Multiple choices are permitted. But I'm more concerned with the the low response rate. We only have 5 OpenBSD admins on this forum?
I would of replied but I didn't know how. I used to used softraid. And in a couple of weeks I will be again (raid 5). I found it good. I also wouldn't call myself a OpenBSD admin. I only administer my desktop and server. But to make you numbers look higher I will put down softraid because that's my norm when I need it.
Bumping to put an end to this thread. There were 10 voters who responded.
3 do not use RAID. They might use CARP instead, of course, but I am focused on storage redundancy, rather than system redundancy.
1 uses BIOS-managed RAID.
3 use bioctl(8) to manage RAID controllers.
1 used to use RAIDframe, and has already switched to Softraid without root-on-RAID capability.
3 people are using Softraid without having come from RAIDframe, and don't require root-on-RAID capability.
Two users responded that they were both a softraid user and a bioctl hardware RAID controller user, neither requiring root-on-RAID. I believe my poll was not understood, since bioctl(8) is used to manage both softraid disciplines and hardware RAID controllers. I assume the count of hardware RAID users in this poll is invalid.
I'm the only respondent to the poll who requires root-on-RAID. Perhaps, since no one but me has used it (for software RAID), I should explain its value:
Without root-on-RAID, the root partition must be located on a standard PATA, SATA, or SCSI device. In the event of a failure of that drive, the OS will come down with a panic or a hang. An /altroot partition, if established, can be used on system reboot, but that boot and usage require an on-site admin.
I believe root on softraid is coming real soon, someone showed a dmesg with it working somewhere I idle.
Yes, I know it's on the way. That's why I started the thread. See post #1 above.
Reviving this old thread to say that as of 19 September, root-on-RAID is now possible with softraid(4) on -current, and will be in 5.1-release next spring. I have tested, and will be converting my one RAIDframe server to softraid(4) tomorrow.
It operates in similar fashion to RAIDframe, requiring boot of a kernel from a non-RAIO partition. In this implementation, if that partition is on a drive containing one of the RAID chunks, the "a" partition will be used as the root partition by the kernel. This avoids one of the reasons for a RAIDframe custom kernel.
The bioctl(8) tool is certainly simpler to use than raidctl(8), there is no need to have complex configuration files -- RAIDframe was designed for the testing of complex RAID array designs, rather than production use.
Restoration after a chunk failure is simple and easy. RAIDframe has many more options, including the ability to manage mirrors for data replication and instant recovery -- such as intentionally breaking mirrors and later rejoining them and possibly doing an instant recovery from a "saved" mirror -- but I no longer need those advanced features.
My thanks to Ocicat, who pointed me to this week's CVS log entry.
jggimi has written up how to implement RAID 1 through softraid(4), & it was published on http://undeadly.org today:
For those who would like to try this out on their own hardware, note that this is using source code committed mid-September. This is available now to -current users installing/updating from recent snapshots. For followers of -release & -stable, this will not be available until OpenBSD 5.1 which tentatively will be available 1 May 2012.
Congratulations, jggimi! You are a true asset to the OpenBSD community!
Thank you kindly, ocicat.
The same technique may be used with the other disciplines: RAIDs 4, 5, CRYPTO, and even 0 when layered with a redundant discipline.

Extended Suffolk Transit service on the S92 and the 10C bus lines has now become available on Sundays and holidays, offering those on the East End who are carless or unable to drive one a way to get around seven days a week.
Neither the 10C, the bus that runs from East Hampton to Montauk, nor the S92 was previously running seven days a week, making it difficult for some of those who relied on the transit line to get to their jobs. But the additional 50-cent fare on the 10C and the S92, hiking the price for a one-way ride to $2, will help defray the cost of the added run.
According to a release from the office of County Legislator Jay Schneiderman, the pilot program was approved by the County Legislature in March and signed by County Executive Steve Levy in early April. But it kicked off on Sunday with a "maiden voyage," according to Mr. Schneiderman, ferrying some of the officials responsible, along with the public, from the Riverhead stop to the County Center.
The S92 bus line runs from Orient Point to East Hampton, making stops in Riverhead, Flanders, Hampton Bays, Southampton Village, Water Mill, and Sag Harbor. Riders can switch in East Hampton to the 10C, which makes stops in Amagansett and finally Montauk.
"Legislator Schneiderman really deserves an enormous amount of credit for this," said Tom Ruhle, the director of housing for East Hampton Town and a board member of Five Town Rural Transit, a nonprofit group formed in 2005 to research and develop improved public transportation concepts for the East End. "This is necessary to get part of the work force out here on the weekends. Transportation is such a key element. It's a major accomplishment."
Mr. Schneiderman said Tuesday that it had never been a question of need for Sunday and holiday public transit. "The main obstacle was, how on earth do you pay for it?" he said. "Fares don't cover the cost."
However, Mr. Schneiderman said, the fare had not been raised at all in almost two decades, so the 50-cent price jump is, well, a fair fare.
"It may only run from Memorial Day to Columbus Day next year," he said, adding that the Sunday rides would be shut down sometime in September this year because of the cost. He said the increase is only for full-fare riders, not those who receive a discount, like students or senior citizens. The 10A bus, which runs from Bridgehampton to East Hampton, is not yet slated for Sunday runs, but that could be in the cards.
According to Kathleen Cunningham Faraone of East Hampton, a Five Town Rural Transit board member, it is not a social issue. "I think there's an impression that only poor people ride the bus," she said. "That is simply not true." She mentioned another board member, Vince Taldone of Riverhead, who has problems with peripheral vision and therefore cannot drive.
"Think of how frustrating it would be if you were transit-dependent and you couldn't get to your family's on a holiday, or to work on Sunday," she said.
Mrs. Faraone complimented Mr. Schneiderman, along with County Legislator Ed Romaine of Center Moriches, for getting it done.
"For us, it's the first tiny step toward a rail-and-bus network for the East End," she said. "It is so exciting."

For the last 35 years Argentina has experienced a general crisis that has affected almost every area of society. The military coup d' etat in 1976, the return of a weak democracy in the early 80′s and 10 years of a crude neo-liberal political model beginning in 1990 thrust nearly 50% of Argentina's population into poverty. All this culminated in the economic and social crisis of 2001 that not only resulted in a breakdown in the political, social and economic spheres but also cost the lives of dozens of people. Like many other Latin American countries, Argentina is attempting to reverse this situation by leaving behind harmful and unjust political and econonmic models. For this to occur the country needs to foster and develop greater equality in the distribution of its resources and newly found economic growth.

This slide created by Bill Ferriter gets to the very heart of it:
Why is it, do you think, that creativity is related to as a bad habit? Is it due to not providing enough time to allow it to breathe and find its rhythm? Is it the by-the-book curriculum? Is it the structure of a school day? Is it the people within the school? Justin Tarte tweeted, We want students to be autonomous learners who are taking control of their learning. To me, this is most apt to happen when students have ample opportunity for exploration and ownership of creating. This takes a substantial amount of time and time seems to be a commodity that is being whittled away. Still, in some places there are educators who are devoted to making it come to life and I'd like to hear from them. Please share with all of us your role in how it is being cultivated.
Krissy Venosdale wrote this about how, at times, our good intentions are less then mindful in the way we relate to students:
You need to read this. I said to. Do this first. Follow this pattern. This is the way to do it. Here is the right way. Sit still. Complete the front side. Number your paper. Do as I say. Raise your hand before speaking. Put your name at the top. I give this a 95%. Follow the classroom rules. Be engaged. Keep your eyes on your page. Choose A, B, or C. I talk, you learn. You're following my lesson plan. My classroom.
Little words. Tiny phrases. Together? They create fences that keep our kids in one safe spot where learning and exploring become all about what we say to do. Fences that keep kids from learning. (Here is her entire post, Learning Because The Gates Are Wide Open).Krissy puts forth a timely example of how we can be a wet blanket to creativity and autonomous learning. What are your daily practices that do not fence in students? Let us call it Free Range Learning. Again, I'd be grateful to hear from you.
Milton Glaser says this about his creative philosophy:
There's no such thing as a creative type. As if creative people can just show up and make stuff. As if it were just that easy. I think people need to be reminded that creativity is a verb, a very time consuming verb. It's about taking an idea in your head, and transforming that idea into something real. And that's going to be a long and difficult process. If you're doing it right, it's going to feel like work.Consider a time when you had a moment from which sprang a perfect idea-- an a-ha moment. It came seemingly and suddenly out of nowhere. An epiphany. Chances are, you were probably taking a nap, driving your car, waiting at the airport, or in the shower. Some place like that. Milton Glaser had one such moment in a taxi and this is what he sketched on an envelope. That sketch led to this iconic design. Those magical moments of insight only take place after lots of tireless effort and concerted thought. It just does not happen in a single moment. Persistence and perseverance always precede it.
To me, his philosophy speaks to the path along which
one journeys and not the end product itself. In school, how can we set the stage for students so these bursts of insight can happen organically? How can we shift the perception so that creativity is viewed as an admirable, expected habit? Please comment. I'd like to hear from you.

As for JAG, good recommendation. A top 10 school will undoubtedly help. However, keep in mind that JAG positions are extremely competitive right now. This is not a refuge for people with no other options. I wouldn't say it's as competitive as biglaw, but probably on par with trying to get a federal position.
Not to burst the OP's bubble (I would still apply), however, I don't believe that attending a top 10 school - in itself - will help too much with JAG. It is my understanding that JAG typically selects the top performers at any given law school, regardless of the school's rank. I believe JAG prepares a document every year showing the respective schools of its hired classes. From what I recall, regional schools fared quite well in the selection process.
Nevertheless, the economy does seem to be picking up for entry-level and lateral hiring.

Cream-Bo (Chocolate-covered Cream-topped Cookie)
A cream-bo is a chocolate-covered cream-topped cookie, based on an Israeli treat with a similar name. Those of us born and raised in the US might be reminded of Mallomars. In either case, they're infinitely better homemade.
Excerpted from Balaboosta by Einat Admony (Artisan Books). Copyright © 2013. Photographs by Quentin Bacon.
Read more: Bake the Book: Cream-Bo
- Yield:makes about 16 pieces
- Active time: 45 minutes
- Total time:overnight, for setting/cooling
- Homemade Cookies
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 cookies)
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
- Cream Filling
- 1 cup sugar
- 1⁄3 cup water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 egg whites
- Pinch of cream of tartar
- Ganache
- 11 ounces 72% cacao chocolate
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
For the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Combine the graham crackers, butter, and pecans in a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are well combined and the texture is like grainy sand.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form 2-inch disks directly on the sheet. I usually grab the cookie cutter and pack in a little bit of the graham cracker mixture inside, then pat it down. This gives my cookies a nice uniform shape, but if you don't have anything on hand, there are no strict rules against making them freehand.
Bake in the oven until the cookies are crisp, about 20 minutes. Place them on a rack and cool completely before handling. Reserve the baking sheet and parchment paper to use for assembling the cream-bo.
For the Cream Filling: Place the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan and dissolve completely over low heat. Simmer just until a candy thermometer reads 235°F; alternatively, to check whether the sugar is ready, old-school style, simply scoop a teeny tiny amount of syrup onto a spoon and drop it into an ice bath. If the syrup congeals, it's ready.
While the sugar is heating, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and keep whipping over medium speed. Once the syrup is ready, carefully and slowly drizzle the syrup into the mixing bowl with the egg whites while the mixer is running. Keep whipping the whites until the mixing bowl is cool to the touch and the mixture is stiff and glossy, 5 to 7 minutes.
Scrape the cream filling into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Place the cookies back on the baking sheet lined with the parchment paper. Carefully pipe a 3-inch mound of cream filling onto each cookie, covering the entire surface area and finishing it off with a peak at the top. Place the almost-finished cream-bo in the freezer overnight or for at least 5 hours.
When the cream-bo is finished hanging out in the freezer, you can start on the ganache. Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer. Combine the chocolate and oil in a large bowl, then place it over the simmering water. Melt the chocolate and stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined.
The next step is a bit messy because it requires you to cover each cookie entirely in chocolate. Delicious but messy. The simplest way is to place a rack on top of the baking sheet lined with parchment paper and then place the cream-bo right on top of that rack. When you pour the ganache over the cream-bo, the ganache will drip past the cooling rack and onto the parchment paper. The ganache should harden almost on contact with the frozen cream-bo, creating a nice chocolate shell. Use a spatula to lift the cookies from the cooling rack and onto a serving platter. Crumple up the parchment paper for an easy cleanup so you can have more time to enjoy these gooey treats.

Tony Capaldi admitted Oxford United's players were almost thankful results elsewhere did not go their way in the race for the npower League Two play-offs on Saturday.
A draw for Crewe meant they were guaranteed to claim seventh, regardless of how the U's got on at Port Vale.
Capaldi took some consolation from the fact that United's 3-0 defeat did not cost them the chance of making the play-offs.
And he agreed with manager Chris Wilder's assessment that the cause for the disappointing finish came from slip-ups in recent weeks.
He said: "In the end we're slightly grateful Crewe ended up getting a draw – it would have been heartbreaking to lose and then find out Crewe had lost.
"Things that have happened before Saturday are what cost us the chance of making the play-offs, we've got the summer to think about it to get ready for next season.
"It's been a despondent changing room for the last four or five weeks."
While it was a disappointing game for the club, Capaldi took some personal satisfaction in ending an awful season on something of a high.
Back and knee injuries have kept the 30-year-old out since signing last summer, so to get through 90 minutes was a source of satisfaction.
He said: "It's been 13 months since my last competitive game and I didn't want it to be another three months over the summer, so I'm just pleased to get it out the way.
"It was nice to get out on the pitch and play, the body feels good which is the most important thing, I knew I was fit enough to get through 90 minutes.
"I'm pleased to get it out the way and I can work hard during the summer to get ready for next season."

It was only a few short weeks ago that Chancellor George Osborne was mocked nationwide for his pasty tax proposal. Oh, how we laughed - the moon-faced Tory gimp gabbling justifications for his attempt to impose a levy on unhealthy prole-fodder like he'd been caught spanking himself in a public toilet; the Prime Minister furiously declaring his love for pastry-based, high-fat snacks.
How we laughed! Imagine, his detractors brayed - these public schoolboys trying to pretend that they shopped at Greggs! How out of touch and elitist could politicians possibly be, to try taxing such an obviously working class snack?
And as I read all this on blogs and in broadsheets, I thought to myself... Well, fair enough, but when was the last time any of these jokers washed down a steak bake and a fudge doughnut with a bottle of Irn-Bru? And who, exactly, do all these critics imagine is buying twenty Regal King Size day in, day out, every day of the year, or guzzling all that lager?
Osborne whacked forty pence a throw on fags, and I can tell you that it isn't the Bullingdon set who are shuffling their budgets to work out how to cut that expense out of their weekly shopping. Where are the cries of class war! when the Chancellor whaps another two quid onto ten Benson and eight cans of Carling, under an obviously fraudulent pretence of public health?
After all, there's a reason why heroin dealers sell junkies-to-be their first few hits at bargain rates, then jack up the price 300%, and it certainly isn't because they want to combat drug addiction. Osborne knows full well that incremental tax rises on cigarettes don't affect smoking rates one bit - they continue to drop at the same rate, regardless.
Out here in reality, whacking great tax rises on fags lead directly to the following results - a big hit on the cash in low-earning smokers' pockets, and a booming black market in counterfeit cigs that are even worse for your health than the ordinarily ultratoxic kind. They mean that the cops have to find extra cash for hit squads to crack down on a fresh class of newly-wealthy criminal.
Well friend, there was no prolier-than-thou outcry. Nobody queued up to boot the Chancellor in the bollocks for exploiting those who are hooked on nicotine, a vast chunk of whom are on low incomes. Nor will any notable public figure give it a concerted try, ever.
Here's the deal. If the government seriously intended to tackle serious public health issues like tobacco, they'd say something like this...
Citizens of Great Britain, we can no longer continue to profit upon the wages of death. The national coffers are stuffed with ill-gotten cash extracted from addicts. It is immoral that our schools and pensions are propped up by exploiting users of a cancer-causing addictive substance. Henceforth, all tobacco products are banned...
We are under no illusions. This measure will not stop people from smoking. It will merely move underground, to the black market. Nonetheless, at least our consciences will be clear and our hands will be clean - no longer will we pay our way with blood money.
Now, each and every one of you motherfuckers owes us three hundred quid extra, annually.
Pay up immediately, or the sheriff officers are coming for your widescreen TVs.
I assure you that giraffes will whistle Rule Britannia in Paris before that day comes.
Don't believe me? Consider today's proposal to sell cigarettes in plain packaging. In theory, those wonderfully designed fag packets are so alluring to kids that only a bland, olive-green packet can protect their fragile minds from their baleful influence. Plain packaging will totally reduce smoking, big time.
We can conduct a thought experiment right now to see how this would work - what if they started selling beer in plain bottles? Would kids swear off the demon drink for life, repulsed by these suddenly unfashionable beverages? Would public drunkeness decline by a fraction? Would it help our nation's alcohol problems?
Like. Hell. It. Would.
So. The government knows damn fine its new policy is bullshit. The journalists explaining their new policy know that it is bullshit. You and I know that it is bullshit. What's going to happen?
It's going to sail through Parliament like a billion-pound yacht with a tail-wind.
You don't have to be Lieutenant Columbo to work out why. Turn on your TV tonight and tune in to the first Poke The Fat Fuckers show you find. You know the ones I mean - Supersize vs Superskinny; Half-Ton Son; Fat fighters and so on. There are entire channels dedicated to this kind of reality telly.
Here's an iron rule of broadcasting - sensitive documentaries about serious public health issues don't feature the subject waddling up some stairs, gasping for breath, while a tuba plays a comedy Oompa-Oompa-Oompa tune in the background. Shows about people born with horrible afflictions, unlike fat-fucker-poking shows, don't strip their subjects to their pants and show you their symptoms in pornographic detail.
These shows exist so that we can all laugh at the porkers and look down on their greed, their disgusting diets and their wobbling rolls of lard. A nation that can support a massive magazine industry that's entirely dedicated to extreme-close-ups on celebrity cellulite is a nation with a multimillion pound market for contempt, snobbery and mockery.
Let's not kid ourselves about that pasty tax that the Chancellor was pushing, folks - if the shoe was on the other foot and a Labour government was pushing it, all that hilarity would be coming from the Tories and all these lefty websites would be furiously hunting down obesity statistics, angrily explaining that the scum classes need incentives to cut down on their junk food intake.
Yes! the Comment is Free bloggers would shout in unison. Stick it right to those booze-sodden, wheezing, lazy twats! Those pie-eating fucks are a huge drain on the NHS!
Well. Is there a point here? I guess there is, and it's this - next time we find ourselves wondering how a nation of nice, congenial citizens such as the United Kingdom can elect a series of vicious, contemptuous, mean-as-fuck governments like the ones we've had this last three decades, maybe we should re-evaluate our assumptions.
If our governments are vicious and contemptuous, delighting in cracking down on and exploiting our weaknesses then just maybe, they're a reflection of ourselves.
Hey, if that's the case, that would mean that we'd deserve to be ruled by mean-as-fuck snobs who hate our guts.
Now, isn't that a thought?

Attention fellow numbers geeks and/or fans of college sports in our fair commonwealth. Courtesy of a revealing USA Today database, we can glimpse inside the finances of public university athletic departments not only in Virginia but also nationwide.
The newspaper collected information from 227 schools, and while accounting practices vary, there are some curious trends. To wit:
Virginia Tech is among 22 of the 53 public schools in the Bowl Championship Series automatic-qualifying conferences (ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific 12 and Southeastern) to report a surplus each of the last six years. North Carolina State is the only other ACC school that can boast the same.
This the Hokies did — $66.91 million in 2010-11 revenue, $62.59 million in expenses — without unduly taxing regular students. In 2010-11, only $7.24 million in student fees, about $313 per undergraduate, went to athletics.
That speaks to effective fiscal management by athletic director Jim Weaver and his administrative team. It also speaks to Tech fans, who contributed $18.98 million in ticket revenue.
Virginia was far less-reliant on ticket revenue in 2010-11, generating $12.97 million with the same number of home football games (seven) as the Hokies. That represented a 15.7-percent decline in ticket sales from 2009-10.
But with $78.44 million in revenue and a $6.0-million surplus last year, the Cavaliers are not paupers by any stretch. Their revenue trailed only Florida State's $78.58 million among the ACC's eight public schools and ranked 25th nationally.
Nearly half of Virginia's revenue, $34.5 million, came from private donors, more than double 2006's $14.57 million and attributable, in part, to pledges for John Paul Jones Arena and contributions connected to the reseating of football season-ticket holders.
Virginia Tech, by comparison, reported $15.85 million in donations for 2010-11. Meanwhile, Virginia relied far more on student fees than did the Hokies.
More than $12.97 million in fees went to Cavaliers sports. That's about $940 per undergraduate, triple Virginia Tech's $313. The only ACC school more dependent on student fees was Maryland at $15.9 million in 2010-11.
Salaries for head coaches and their assistants are escalating nationally — Alabama's rose 84.6 percent from 2006 to '11 — but Virginia and Virginia Tech were not extravagant by market standards. The Cavaliers increased pay 36.6 percent, the Hokies 27.4 percent.
Absent significant football television revenue, the state's other Division I schools have vastly different budget dynamics.
William and Mary reported a 61.7-percent revenue increase from 2006-11, to $22.7 million, more than $4 million less than Virginia spent on coaches' salaries alone. The Tribe has operated in the black the last six years, remarkable for a department that offers such a broad-based program (21 sports) for so few students (6,071 undergraduates).
More than $10 million in student fees covered nearly half of William and Mary's 2010-11 budget. By percentage of expenses, only six other Championship Subdivision football schools were less subsidized, including Virginia Military Institute.
Old Dominion's 72.7-percent subsidy was more in line with most FCS programs. The Monarchs' expenses more than doubled from 2006-11, from $13.99 million to $30.91 million, clearly a function of adding football.
But football also has ratcheted up contributions. ODU reported $1.17 million in donations in 2006, $3.57 million in 2011.
At last week's news conference to announce the Monarchs' move to Conference USA and the Bowl Subdivision, athletic director Wood Selig and university president John Broderick said they have received additional pledges of more than $3 million to help finance the upgrade.
These days, whether working at Longwood ($7.9 million budget) or Texas ($150.3 million), presidents, athletic directors and coaches need to double as fund raisers.

Three research teams focused on developing strategies that could help to rid the body of HIV are receiving grants totaling more than $14 million a year, for up to five years, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health announced today.
The grants are part of the Martin Delaney Collaboratory, a funding opportunity designed to foster public-private partnerships to accelerate progress toward an HIV cure. Delaney, an influential AIDS activist, died of liver cancer in 2009.
Although antiretroviral therapy enables many people infected with HIV to effectively control their virus levels and thereby stay relatively healthy, some virus remains hidden in a latent or persistent form in cells and tissues where it is not susceptible to antiretrovirals. Each research team will pursue a unique and complementary approach aimed at eradicating these remaining HIV reservoirs. To fulfill their role as members of a collaboratory, the teams will also meet periodically as their research progresses to find ways to work together.
The research teams receiving the grants include the following:
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) in Seattle, working with Sangamo Biosciences Inc., a biopharmaceutical company based in Richmond, Calif. -- In five projects led by co-principal investigators Keith R. Jerome, M.D., Ph.D., and Hans-Peter Kiem, M.D., of FHCRC, scientists will attempt to develop proteins that directly attack HIV reservoirs, and they also will study whether a patient?s immune cells can be made resistant to the virus. These approaches for eliminating the viral reservoirs will be further tested in a preclinical model. Five core facilities will be funded as well, to provide shared resources and support services to facilitate the collaborative projects. First-year funding is $4.1 million.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), working with Merck Research Laboratories, headquartered in Whitehouse Station, N.J. -- Led by principal investigator David Margolis, M.D., of UNC, this initiative consists of 15 scientific projects and four core facilities located at multiple universities nationwide. The researchers aim to enhance the understanding of how HIV persists in patients on antiretroviral therapy, and to develop small-molecule drug candidates and other therapies to target the viral reservoirs. First-year funding is $6.3 million.
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and the Vaccine & Gene Therapy Institute of Florida (VGTI) in Port St. Lucie, Fla., also working with Merck Research Laboratories -- Led by co-principal investigators Steven Deeks, M.D., and Michael McCune, M.D., Ph.D., of UCSF, and Rafick-Pierre Sekaly, Ph.D., of VGTI, this research initiative comprises seven projects and three core facilities. The researchers seek to define the nature and location of the cells where HIV hides, better understand the immunology of how these viral reservoirs are created and maintained, and develop and test targeted treatments that eliminate HIV reservoirs without broadly activating the immune system. First-year funding is $4.2 million.
NIAID is providing primary funding for the grants. Additional funding comes from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), also part of NIH. Funding beyond the first year is subject to the availability of appropriations. Sangamo Biosciences and Merck Research Laboratories will not receive federal funds for their contribution to this research.

About the Creator
I've been a code jockey for software firms, a gemologist, a surveyor, and even spent a summer in the Texas oil fields. I have an abiding love for the New Hampshire woods where I grew up, and they've drawn me home to my family farm, where my workshop resides. From my father, I learned to treasure and be a careful steward of the forests surrounding our farm. He was my first woodworking instructor. When I was no taller than the workbench, he helped me discover the thrill of creating something by hand. I've devoted much of my time in the ensuing years to perfecting my practice. I believe woodworking is akin to faceting jewels – revealing the graceful sweep of patterns amid the warm beauty of natural materials. To this day, I get excited every time I finish a piece that captures a client's dreams, that becomes a centerpiece in their home, an heirloom passed from one generation to the next. I'm a lucky man just to be part of all this.
