If you catch Adam Lambert on tour with Queen this summer you might be surprised by how subdued his performance outfits are — at least for him. The American Idol alum and former VH1 Divas host has sported many memorable looks over the years, becoming just as well known for his loud ensembles as his monstrous voice.
Can Adam Lambert-Led Queen Keep The Band's Classic Legacy Alive?
It can't be easy being Adam Lambert these days. Sure, he's living everyone's rock 'n' roll fantasy by fronting the rock icons in Queen on a cross-country arena tour. On the surface his life seems to rule in a major way, but I began to think again as I approached Madison Square Garden Thursday night. I had expected to see a mixed crowd of young Glamberts who have followed Adam's art and antics since his American Idol days, as well as classic rock fans thrilled to hear the vintage songs played live once more. But the well-worn Queen t-shirts were plentiful and the Lambert love appeared few and far between as I took my seat.
He is about to play to a packed crowd of 20,000 people (New Yorkers, no less!), who all seemed to be thinking the same thing: "Can the kid pull it off?" Under pressure, indeed.
Loud And Proud And LGBT: Sam Smith Is One Of Many Out Musicians

Adam Lambert And His Long-time Boyfriend Call It Quits
We've loved Adam Lambert ever since we saw him kill it in his very first audition for American Idol all those years ago, so we're especially sad to find out that he and his long-time love, Sauli Koskinen have split up.
Lambert revealed the two had parted in an interview with SFGN, adding that "Sauli and I remain really good friends, and I know it's a cliché thing to say. But it's totally true. I just gave him a coffee and bagel earlier today. He's a great person and we've had an amazing couple of years together. Things have just run their course."
Friday Face-Off: Adam Lambert vs. Ricky Martin
Whether you're for or against same-sex marriage, you can't escape the Supreme Court case rocking the United States right now (thanks, Beyonce's Tumblr). We're all for opinions, no matter what they are, so this week's Face-Off is between Ricky Martin and Adam Lambert – two acts who put their music ahead of their sexuality while remaining…ahem, sexy!

Our 20 Favorite Moments From VH1 Divas, In Pictures
We've already shared some of our favorite behind the scenes moments, a few of our favorite GIF-ed moments and a whole slew of our favorite musical moments from last nights spectacular VH1 DIVAS show, and we're still not through with our gushing because we just thought everyone on the bill — Adam Lambert, Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato, Metric, Keri Hilson, Pitbull, Ciara, Bootsy Collins, Miley Cyrus, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Rowland and more! — totally killed it. And so here we are, reliving our favorite moments last night through photos. Our top twenty moments, in no particular order — because, really, it would be cruel to make us chose between them — look something like this:
1. Kelly that brand new precious stone of hers! Brandon Blackstock sure is a lucky guy.
…and she showed of her powerful and Idol-winning pipes. We are so glad she didn't settle with a career as a backup singer.
2. Pitbull didn't "Stop The Party" until all his dancers were flat-out on the ground.
3. Natasha Bedingfield, Bootsy Collins and Iggy Azalea's "Grove Is In The Heart" was hands down the evening's most funky moment. And look how cute these three looked together!
VH1 DIVAS Behind The Scenes: The Top 16 Things You Didn't See On TV
What an amazing evening! The 2012 edition of VH1 DIVAS was chock full of unforgettable moments, ones that you can fortunately watch over-and-over again thanks to the miracle of streaming video. However, for all the show-stopping performances that you saw on VH1 tonight during the broadcast, there were a plethora of precious moments you weren't privy to that happened backstage and off-camera. To that end, we had some VH1 insiders strategically placed all around the Shrine Auditorium tonight keeping their eyes, ears and camera lenses open all night long for those special moments that our TV cameras weren't able to capture. And, seeing that it's the holidays and all, the giving spirit is coursing through our veins and we thought we'd share some of the highlights with you.
So now, without further ado, here are the Top 16 Things That You Didn't See On TV During VH1 DIVAS:
1. American Idol alumnus Adam Lambert ran out to greet the original Idol, Kelly Clarkson, and the two shared a warm hug just minutes before show time backstage. Adam did a little turn showing off his duds.
2. Speaking of the newly engaged Kelly Clarkson, she showed off her sparkly yellow canary diamond ring to a friend a few moments before she performed "Catch My Breath." We overheard her saying "He did so good, didn't he?" and "I was freaking out when he went down on one knee and all." A clearly emotional Kelly also admitted on her way off-stage that "I can't believe I almost totally cried on television!"

Aftershave, alum, alum matchsticks, astringent, babershop, best remedy, cuts, irritation, men's grooming products, nicks and cuts, razor burn, review, shave, shaving, shaving accident, solution, styptic, The Legends London, treatment
I've long been a fan of alum – the old (and I mean old) treatment for razor cuts and nicks – for several years now. Used since Egyptian times, it's an absolutely brilliant astringent, aftershave product and a natural styptic, stopping bloodflow and closing wounds almost instantly.
The traditional alum blocks are excellent but these novel, disposable 'matchstick' versions from The Legends London are a little more practical and hygienic and are ideal for travel too. You simply moisten the tip of one with a little water and apply to any nicks, cuts or razor burn.
If you're one of those clumsy shavers who always leaves the house covered in bits of loo paper these are a must so give them a try.

Symposium 2014 - Defining Inequality: Poverty on a local and global scale
As honors students in higher education, we have a unique opportunity to make an impact. We hope the events from this symposium provided an opportunity to explore new perspectives on poverty and consider how social change can be enacted. Our first event was the Student Presentation Night and featured student experiences with poverty and the insight they gained from those experiences with subsequent discussion.
The second event was the formal Symposium with presentations by faculty members. Perspectives on poverty in this presentation included economics, catholic studies, and public health. After the faculty presentations, there was time for further discussion on the subject of poverty.
Thank you so much to all who came out and participated in this year's symposium. It truly was a wonderful week! Below you will find the link to the video from student presentation night. These five scholars worked so hard and gave incredible witness to the ways in which they have made a difference in their own communities and abroad, and are an inspiration to all of us. If you have time, please take the time to watch these presentations.
Note: Emily Kindelspire also presented at the Symposium. Unfortunately, Emily's presentation is missing from the recording.

FWIW, mbuf(9) alloc functions need a redo with similar resoning. There are many places where a failed mget() will cause a panic.
Especially, the NFS code seems to like doing unchcked/unsafe mbuf allocations, and then getting messed half-way somewhere else. I have some patches for this which I will commit some time once I get back into the loop.

In President Millican's introduction of astronaut John Young as the charter commencement speaker in 1970, he said that the two men share "a common desire with FTU; we both like to reach for the stars." Since that commencement of 422 students, hundreds of thousands more earned FTU and UCF degrees. Commencement ceremonies have varied in location, grew in ceremony length, and featured diverse commencement speakers. Starting in the Orlando Municipal Auditorium, FTU and UCF commencement ceremonies have taken place in the Reflection Pond, on the green outside of Colborn Hall, and most recently in the UCF Arena. Some of the university's most historic moments took place during commencement ceremonies including the address delivered by United States President Richard Nixon in 1973. Commencement ceremonies are important not only for the students who are awarded with degrees but for the message commencement speakers and university administrators give to the class and public. As John Young stated in his 1970 speech before being given and honorary degree by President Millican, "What happens to the world depends on the individual. There is no reason that life can't be made better on this planet except us and that is our challenge."
The collection is comprised of one series. The series lists colleges alphabetically and then chronologically.
Series I: Commencement Videos, 1998-2005 holds video cassette and DVD copies of graduation ceremonies for various Spring, Summer, and Fall terms at UCF between the years of 1998 and 2005. In some cases, the commencement speaker and time of day for the ceremony is given.
The series contains videos showing commencement ceremonies for UCF undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students. The videos are made up of both VHS and DVD copies and are seperated by colleges which hold ceremonies individually of each other.

1. I don't want to get on a soapbox, but ...The Big East on Tuesday shot its popgun in the air and thumped its chest at the latest round of conference realignment.
But understand this: The big, bad howitzer is coming, everyone. Stand back and cover your ears.
When Maryland finds a way to get out of paying the full $50 million buyout to the ACC for joining the Big Ten; when the Terps show the rest of the ACC how to leave a conference on the cheap despite signing what are supposed to be binding legal documents, conference realignment will reach the final, end-game stage.
The dismantling of the ACC and strengthening of the Big Four is coming. The only things that can stop it are high-priced lawyers.
"We'd be absolutely foolish to not watch Maryland," one FSU official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Sporting News. "If or when they get out of (the $50 million buyout), everything changes. It's almost like free agency."
If that's true, Maryland is the Curt Flood of college football. And it could lead to the one remaining mega move still out there: Florida State and Clemson to the Big 12.
If that happens, the two crown jewels of the ACC become available. Duke and North Carolina, which an ACC source said have been chased by the SEC for "the last three years," will choose between the Big Ten and the SEC.
For those who don't think this is serious, consider this: The ACC announced Tuesday it had filed suit against Maryland to force the university to pay the full $50 million exit fee. Maryland and Florida State were the only two ACC schools to vote against the league's $50 million buyout fee.
"There is the expectation," said ACC commissioner John Swofford, "that Maryland will fulfill its exit fee obligation."
Conferences expand for two reasons: television markets (for future media rights deals) and desperation. Right now, there's a whole lot of desperation going on, including the Big East's inclusion of Tulane and East Carolina.
The SEC started this by adding Texas A&M and Missouri for prime TV markets Houston and St. Louis/Kansas City. The Pac-10 became the Pac-12 by adding critical Mountain Time Zone markets Salt Lake City (Utah) and Denver (Colorado).
Sensing what he called a "paradigm" shift, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany did what he said his conference wouldn't do: expand beyond 12 teams. Last week's addition of Maryland and Rutgers proved realignment is all about television dollars.
That brings us to the Big 12, which has 10 teams and a compact geographic market footprint (West Virginia notwithstanding) that limits future television growth. By adding FSU and Clemson, the Big 12 reaches into the South to compete with the SEC for television dollars – and as important, high school recruits (just like the SEC did with Texas A&M).
Expanding to 12 teams means the return of the Big 12 Championship Game, which generates consistent revenue for the conference and can be the difference in playing for it all – or playing for nothing. Case in point: Kansas State.
Once the new prince of 2012, one loss has K-State completely out of contention in the race for the BCS National Championship. If this were 2014 with the new four-team playoff, the Wildcats would still be out.
Like it or not, voters – and in the future, the playoff selection committee – are more impressed by teams forced to take a huge gamble by playing a conference championship game than those who don't. That and television market potential will eventually bring the Big 12 back into conference expansion.
And end realignment once and for all.
— Hayes: ACC comes to its senses, adds Louisville
2. Pennies on the dollarWhose stock has fallen faster: Gene Chizik or the ACC? Discuss
3. Win now or walkIt wasn't easy watching an emotional Jon Embree on Monday accept his firing as coach at Colorado after just two seasons in Boulder.It was even harder hearing the truth.Embree won four games in two seasons, but his firing touched on a larger issue facing coaches: Do it the right way and risk getting fired after two or three seasons, or cut corners and win—and leave a mess in your wake after you leave."You've got to decide who you want to be," Embree said. You can try to do the right things or throw caution to the wind. You can't have one foot in that game, and do it another way. If you hire the next guy and say you've got two years, keep your fingers crossed. Whether you're talking about paying for athletes, grades, not worrying about guys going to class. There are a lot of things you can do to circumvent doing it the right way."This is life as an FBS coach. In less than a decade, four or five years to build a program became three. And now it's two.Unless, that is, you're Ellis Johnson—who Tuesday was fired at Southern Miss after one season.Want to blame someone? Blame Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer and Nick Saban—coaches who won national championships in their second seasons at Ohio State, Florida and Alabama, respectively.Turner Gill was fired at Kansas after two seasons. Derek Dooley made it to three. So did Joker Phillips."If you want (coaches doing it the wrong way), you basically want mercenaries," Embree said. "Then you win and move on, and whatever happens (to the university) happens to them."
4. Expectations are everywhereJust when you thought it was safe to apply for a job, NC State athletic director Debbie Yow publicly explained her expectations for the next coach in Raleigh.She's looking for—wait for it—a coach who can bring in "Alabama-type talent."Yeah, Deb. You and every other AD outside Tuscaloosa.
5. The Weekly FiveOhio State celebrated the 2002 national championship during last week's Michigan game, and players from that team lifted disgraced coach Jim Tressel on their shoulders and paraded him around the end zone.Five things Ohio State thought were too tacky, in light of the current Buckeyes' team ineligibility for postseason play because of Tressel's transgressions:1. Invite Mark Emmert to the game.2. A gold pants fundraiser to supplement Tressel's salary at Akron.3. Run The 40 With Maurice: First 100 fans to beat Maurice Clarett in the 40 receive a signed copy of his freshman transcript.4. Give Tressel a ceremonial Get Out Of Jail Free card.
6. Don't mess with Mother FootballA lesson to the elite high school recruits: no choice is safe.Gunner Kiel, the nation's No.1 quarterback recruit last February, committed to Indiana before his senior season, and eventually backed out to commit to LSU. Shortly before National Signing Day, Kiel informed LSU he would be signing instead with Notre Dame.In between hearing about his lack of a "chest" (thanks, Les) and the Irish locking up a spot in the BCS National Championship Game, redshirt freshman Everett Golson won the starting job at Notre Dame and Kiel settled in at third or fourth on the depth chart.Meanwhile, at LSU, Zach Mettenberger struggled for the first two months of the season, and the Tigers stuck with him because, well, because they had no one else.Now, Kiel's future: sit behind Golson and hope to eventually beat him out, or transfer and take another shot at the uncertainty of choosing a college.Either way, stick out your chest, son.
7. You heard that rightIn what could be the most alarming example of chutzpa in the history chutzpa, Nick Saban says those who don't win their division shouldn't play in a BCS bowl.Hello? Hypocrisy, Line 1.Saban was asked about the quirk that has left the SEC Championship Game loser with the reality of playing in a meaningless bowl game because Florida—which finished second behind Georgia in the SEC East Division—has locked up a BCS bowl at-large spot by finishing in the top four of the BCS poll."It's not really a great scenario," Saban said. "You play your way into the championship game, which means you're the best team in your division. It doesn't quite seem right."Says the coach whose team failed to win the West Division last season, but was given a mulligan by the BCS poll to play SEC Champion LSU again in the BCS Championship Game.I'm pretty sure it didn't seem quite right to Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy in 2011. Or Les Miles.
8. On the caseSo Tulsa athletic director Ross Parmley is an "admitted gambler" according to the FBI, and has been suspended after 10 months on the job.If you remember, Tulsa president Geoffrey Orsak was fired in September after 74 days in office. No reason was given.You know what this means, right? Here comes King Emmert and his Merry Band of NCAA wonks swooping into Tulsa to rectify and testify.Emmert to new Tulsa president Steadman Upham: "We've got our info from the FBI!"Upham: "You mean the same FBI that refused to talk to the CIA prior to 9/11 and refused to … oh, forget it."
9. The toughest voteI dare you. In fact, I double-dog dare you: Pick a coach of the year.Bill O'Brien, Penn State: a no-brainer, right? No precedent for what he dealt with.Brian Kelly, Notre Dame: All the pressures of ND, and a redshirt freshman quarterback who made more mistakes than good plays for the first half of the season.Urban Meyer, Ohio State: Inherited a team that lost seven games—and its iconic, beloved coach. And NCAA probation.

Another case of measles in Rensselaer County, NY
The New York Department of Health reported that another case of measles has been confirmed in Rensselaer County. Health officials are investigating whether the young child was exposed through contact at an emergency room with an RPI student who contracted measles earlier this month. The new case involves a young child and the health department […] [Read More]
Measles rare and tough to diagnose
County and state health officials retraced the steps of the RPI student who is infected with measles and released the information to warn members of the public who may have crossed paths with the him. The information also creates a map of the student's travels through the health system. Measles is difficult to diagnosis because […] [Read More]
RPI student is 1 of 10 not vaccinated against measles
The RPI student with a confirmed case of measles is one of just 10 students at the school who has a waiver exempting him from the measles vaccine, an RPI spokesman told the Times Union.

Income Tax Act - 241-260 - Section 248 - 248(1) - "Corporation"
See Also
Anson v. HMRC, [2015] UKSC 44 [profits of LLC earned directly by members]
Lord Reed found that that the profits of a Delaware LLC belonged to the members as they arose, so that a UK member was taxed on the "same" income in both countries. See summary under Art. 24.
HMRC v. Anson, [2013] EWCA Civ 63, rev'd supra [LLC not fiscally transparent]
The taxpayer, who was resident in the UK, paid US income taxes on his share of the profits of an LLC of which he was a member, and also paid UK income taxes on income remitted to the UK including such share of the LLC's profits. He would have been entitled to relief under Art. 23 of the UK-US Double Tax Convention from UK tax on such profits if the UK tax was "computed by reference to the same profits or income by reference to which the United States tax [was] computed."
In finding that this requirement was not satisfied, given that the distribution of the profits to the taxpayer (so as to attract UK tax) was distinct from the earning of the profits by the LLC in the first place (resulting in the US tax), i.e., the LLC was fiscally transparent for US but not UK purposes, Lady Justice Arden stated (at para. 57):
If profit is earned by an entity, and the source of the profit to the taxpayer as a member of that entity is a contract as between him and other members, then in the usual case it follows that the source of his income must be a different source of income from that of the entity itself. The fact that there is a contract generally suggests that there is a disposition of a right to the profits from one person to another. That result can be avoided if the member had a proprietary right to the profits as they arose. This would as I see it generally be the case where income accrues to a trust under which an income beneficiary has an interest in possession, or to a unit trust or collective investment scheme, if the investors have a beneficial interest in the assets that are subject to the unit trust or scheme.
In the case of the LLC, there was was "nothing to suggest that it did not have unqualified ownership of its assets or that its members had any interest in those assets" (para. 77). She furher stated (at para. 64):
It would be unusual but not impossible for an entity with a separate legal personality, such as a company, to be tax transparent for English law purposes. One example would be the Scottish partnership where the partnership is a separate legal entity and holds the assets of the business, but the partners have an (indirect) interest in the assets and carry on business in common: this has been held by this court to be tax transparent....
Hague v. Cancer Relief & Research Institute, [1939] 4 DLR 191 (Man. K.B.) [corporation has separate legal personality]
In finding that an institute which section 2 of the Cancer Relief Act, 1930 (Manitoba) purported to make a "body corporate" was not, in fact, a corporation because there were no natural persons to compose or to constitute the corporation, Dysart J. stated (pp. 193-194):
"What is a corporation? According to our system of law, a corporation is a group or series of persons which by a legal fiction is regarded and treated as a person itself. It is a legal entity composed of persons. In law 'a person' is any being that is capable of having rights and duties, and is confined to that. Persons are of two classes only - natural persons and legal persons. A natural person is a human being that has the capacity for rights or duties. A legal person is anything to which the law gives a legal or fictitious existence and personality, with the capacity for rights and duties. The only legal person known to our law is the corporation - the body corporate."
Administrative Policy
28 May 2015 IFA Roundtable, Q. 3, 2015-0581511C6 [Florida LLLPs potentially corporations]: CRA indicated that Florida limited liability limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships potentially may be corporations for purposes of the Act given that "they seem to have both legal personality and full, or at least very extensive, limited liability for all members," i.e., liability protection which "seems to go beyond the type of limitation of liability applicable to partnerships governed by the laws of the Canadian provinces," and invited submissions on this issue.
CRA also noted (before release of Anson) that it accepts that LLC are corporations. See summary under s. 96.
20 October 2012 Ontario CTF Round Table, 2012-0463021C6 [entity classification rulings: resumed]:
[The] Directorate has reconsidered its 2010 decision [to cease giving entity classification rulings]....Taxpayers wishing to request an advance income tax ruling on...classification...should include with their request a complete description of the characteristics of the entity, their analysis as to its proper classification, and a translated copy of both the legislation under which the entity was created and its organizational documents.
15 July 2011 Memorandum 2010-0388621I7 [anstalt a corp]: a Liechtenstein anstalt possessed most of the hallmarks of a corporation aside from issuing shares, and was to be treated as a corporation. Furthermore, although it did not issue shares within the meaning of s. 248(1), as there was only one beneficiary, a division of the capital of the anstalt into shares was unnecessary so that it was reasonable to consider that the Canadian resident beneficiary's interest was the equivalent of a share. "For Canadian tax purposes, it should suffice that the interest is what accords him the same rights as are normally conveyed by a share."
28 September 2009 Memorandum 2008-030051 [anstalt a corp]: In light of its characteristics, a Liechtenstein anstalt could be treated for Canadian purposes as either a trust or a corporation depending on the specific facts of the particular situation. However, CRA would not change its published position that an anstalt is a corporation without a public announcement to that effect which would only have prospective effect.
Income Tax Technical News, No. 38, 22 September 2008 under "Foreign Entity Classification": discussion of CRA's two-step approach to entity classification (determine its characteristics under the foreign law; and compare those characteristics with those of a recognized category of business association under Canadian law).
14 August 2008 T.I. 2004-010469 [Del. LP a partnership]: application of CRA's two-step approach to entity classification to find that a Delaware LLC governed by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act that is converted into a limited partnership pursuant to s. 17-217 of the Limited Partnership Act will be considered to have become a partnership for Canadian income tax purposes, so that there is a disposition of the property of the LLC and of the shares in the LLC.
5 October 2004 TI 2004-006186 [Madagascar LLC]: A limited liability company organized in Madagascar would be considered to be a corporation for purposes of the Act given that it has several characteristics of a corporation, including separate legal personality.
9 September 2002 Memorandum 2002-014395 [anstalt a corp]: A Leichtenstein establishment (i.e., a Leichtenstein anstalt) is a corporation for purposes of the Act.
29 January 2002 T.I. 2001-008584: List of states for which CCRA has provided an opinion that a limited liability company formed under the laws of that state is a corporation for Canadian tax purposes.
10 February 1999 T.I. 982987: A Hungarian korlatolt feleossegu tarsasag is a corporation for purposes of the Act because it has legal personality and existence apart from its members. "This would be our view whether or not the Articles of Association of the particular Kft provided that members may be liable for losses of the Kft in excess of their initial capital contributions."
24 September 1997 T.I. 964219: A Tennessee limited liability company is a corporation for purposes of the Act.
28 January 1997 T.I. 962501: A Russian joint stock company would be a corporation for purposes of the Act (including the foreign affiliate definition), as it is a distinct legal entity, separate from its shareholders, directors and officers.
30 July 1996 T.I. 962459 (C.T.O. "Kazackhstan Limited Liability Partnerships"): Kazackhstan Limited Liability Partnerships normally will be considered to be corporations given that they have the status of a legal entity under Kazackh Law, their property belongs to them and the participants are not held liable for the partnership's obligations - although it is possible for a particular partnership to possess certain important attributes which are not indicative of a corporate entity, for example, being formed for only a very brief period of time.
30 August 1995 T.I. 950304 (C.T.O. "Corporate Status-Dutch BV with Unlimited Liability"): The fact that a private company with limited liability incorporated under, and governed by the Netherlands Civil Code may not have an unlimited life or that the shareholders have agreed to assume liability for its liabilities, does not generally affect the determination that it qualifies as a corporation.
13 July 1995 T.I. 951809 (C.T.O. "6363-1 Foreign Affiliates - Def'n of Corporation"): RC stated on the basis of its review of the New York Limited Liability Company Law that it was of the opinion "that a company formed under the NYLLCL would be a corporation for the purposes of the Act notwithstanding that all of its members are liable in their capacity as members for all its debts, obligations or liabilities as a result of a statement to such effect in the articles of organization thereof."
25 October 1994 T.I. 941925 (C.T.O. "Partnership or Corporation"): A German offene Handelsgesellschaft ("OHG"), as described by the writer, would be considered a partnership for Canadian tax purposes.
25 October 1994 T.I. 941750: A limited liability company organized under the applicable legislation of Florida, Wyoming, Delaware or Indiana will be considered to be a corporation rather than a partnership for Canadian tax purposes.

27 June 1994 T.I. 940819 (C.T.O. "Corporate Status of a Nova Scotia Co. (H.A.A. 6363-1)"): An unlimited liability company incorporated under the Nova Scotia Companies Act is a corporation within the meaning of s. 248 of the Act.
17 February 1994 T.I. 932790 (C.T.O. "Barbadian Limited Liability Company (Barbados Treaty)"): Assuming that the proposed Barbadian Societies Restricted Liability Act is enacted in its proposed form, a foreign entity created under that legislation should qualify as a corporation for purposes of the Act.
93 C.M.TC - Q. 12: The limited liability companies for the two states that RC has reviewed (Wyoming and Florida) are considered to be corporations rather than partnerships.
4 October 1990 T.I. (Tax Window, Prelim. No. 1, p. 20, ¶1022): A foreign unlimited liability company is a "corporation" and therefore may qualify as a foreign affiliate.

Matias Milet, "Hybrid Foreign Entities, Uncertain Domestic Categories: Treaty Interpretation Beyond Familiar Boundaries", 2011 Canadian Tax Journal, Vol 59, p. 25
When categorizing foreign entities so as to apply the relevant entity-based Canadian rules, it likely is preferable to utilize the Wittgenstein approach of identifying "family resemblances" rather than attempting to determine the "essential" or "fundamental" characteristics that all such entities (e.g., corporations or partnerships) share in common.

Baltimore, MD - Congratulations to Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering's Sherra E. Kerns, Ph.D.; her husband David V. Kerns, Jr., Ph.D., P.E.; and their colleague Richard K. Miller, Ph.D., for winning the National Academy of Engineering's 2013 Bernard M. Gordon Prize!
In 1999, Richard Miller, Olin's first employee, hired Sherra and her husband, David, to help build the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Needham, Mass. Together, they developed a vision for an engaging approach to teaching engineering and a new culture of learning that is truly student-focused. Some argue that one of their most significant contributions was the creation of a profoundly inclusive and collaborative process of experimentation and decision-making involving students in every aspect of the institution's invention. This is illustrated by the 2001 decision to recruit 30 young students to spend a year as "partners" in residence with the faculty in conducting many experiments together before establishing the first curriculum.
This new learning model, and the inclusive process that produced it, have attracted considerable international attention. In the past three years, approximately 200 universities have visited Olin to benchmark and explore ways of initiating major changes in their own curriculum. Nine other institutions have already made substantial changes that were inspired by the Olin program, and dozens of others are considering such changes. In the next 10 years, Olin aspires to build a "movement" among like-minded institutions to globally transform the education of undergraduate engineers.
ABET is proud of Sherra Kerns' accomplishments, as she was heavily involved with our organization while founding this innovative new institution and developing its ground-breaking curriculum with her team. Sherra was member of the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) for six years (2000-2006) and represented IEEE on the ABET Board of Directors for two years (2006-2008).
Press release courtesy of National Academy of Engineering.
ABET, the recognized accreditor for college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and technology, is a federation of 32 professional and technical societies representing these fields. Among the most respected accreditation organizations in the U.S., ABET has provided leadership and quality assurance in higher education for more than 75 years.
ABET currently accredits over 3,200 programs at more than 670 colleges and universities worldwide. More than 2,000 dedicated volunteers participate annually in ABET activities. ABET also provides leadership internationally through workshops, memoranda of understanding, and mutual recognition agreements, such as the Washington Accord. ABET is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
Anyone who attends ABET's events qualifies for professional development hours. PDHs help individuals acquire or maintain professional licensure, registrations, and certification.

It's crazy, messed up and too difficult to understand just how much your life can change in a span of five seconds. A guy pulls a ring from his pocket, a murderer pulls a gun from theirs, a baby's head is seen or someone breathes their last breath. In everyone's life there is a small, five-second time slot where your whole life suddenly changes – for better or for worse.
I have a lot of questions to ask about this 'five second time slot', and I have been asked many questions about it, questions I can't answer.
But there are some things I can answer. I can answer what my time slot was, what changed my life in the span of five seconds.
But that answer is a long one, and I have to go way back to the very start to answer it.
Hi. My name is Jade.
This is the story of me and some friends, going against the world. See, you would never have heard about this, I can guarantee. Unless one of my friends went and blabbed somewhere, which I know they haven't, you would only ever have heard a clean-up story or a rumor. What am I talking about, exactly?
Years and years ago, when I was merely fifteen years of age, a race of aliens came to our Earth.
Yeah. Aliens. Not all Independence Day style aliens, either. They were humanoids, looked exactly like us, just about.
So anyway, this race of people came to our Earth and I knew something was up from the second I saw them.
But this story isn't about me, or my five-second-time-slot, really. This is about perfecting imperfections, or doing what we did, and keeping those imperfections perfect.
Guess who's back?
So hai. To all of the people that read the original story; I AM SO SORRY, IS YOUR HEAD OKAY, ARE YOU RECOVERING FINE?
To all the newcomers; ... hai. Not every chapter is this short, its just the tiny 366-word-long PROLOGUE. Sorry. Love you. Please stay.
AND TO ALL; Click next chapter would ya? ;D

The purpose of this grant was to establish and administer VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) in county correctional facilities throughout NYS. The NYS Sheriffs' Institute continues to administer this program in New York State today.

Weddington couple welcomes first baby of 2013
The Dorton Family of Weddington rang in the new year with a new baby girl.
The child was born at 2:37 a.m. and weighed 8 pounds, 11 ounces.
"It's good," Stephanie, the baby's mother, said. "This has been a long pregnancy."
Carolinas Medical Center-Union did not provide information about the first baby born in Union County, but Presbyterian's staff did.
The baby girl did not have a name as of Tuesday afternoon. Stephanie, 36, said they have a few names in mind, but wanted to meet the baby first.
The baby not having an official name is a tradition for the Dorton family. Stephanie said they always wait. Sometimes they do not have a name until the hospital is filling out the birth certificate, she said with a smile.
This is the fifth child for James and Stephanie Dorton and their first girl. The boys are 17, 14, 5 and 2 years old.
Stephanie said she did not think they would ever have a girl. It is also the first female grandchild for Stephanie's mother.
The baby girl already has a great wardrobe, Stephanie said.
Stephanie is a stay-at-home mom and James owns and runs Dorton's Heating & Air in Monroe.
Though James was hoping for a Christmas baby, Stephanie thought Christmas was too early and knew she had to be at home with her family on Christmas day.
"I was hoping for New Year's Eve," Stephanie said. However, her baby girl had other plans.
"I think it will be beat to have a birthday on New Year's Day," Stephanie said.
The baby was born at Presbyterian Hospital-Matthews.
She received a gift basket for being the first child of the new year from the hospital.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 2001 Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergey Ivanov is just part of a Bush administration effort to put U.S.-Russian relations on a whole new plane, said a senior defense official Aug. 10.
Rumsfeld will hold concentrated meetings with Ivanov in Moscow Aug. 13. The consultations will build on talks held at the Pentagon Aug. 8 and 9. Those talks were confidential, but a senior defense official said they were conducted in a spirit of "consultation, cooperation and transparency."
Discussions in Moscow will deal with offensive strategic force reductions, missile defense, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and areas of cooperation that can be developed between the United States and Russia.
The official said no formal agreement will come from these talks, rather this will advance the consultative process necessary to ensure the development of a new relationship between the United States and Russia.
The official said that new relationship would be entirely different from the U.S.-Soviet one of the Cold War. "It's a relationship that will require us to move beyond the institutions of the Cold War such as the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty," he said.
Missile defense will be a large part of the discussions. The United States will build "a limited, but effective missile defense against handfuls -- not hundreds or thousands -- of missiles," the official said. "It is in the interests of both the United States and Russia that we withdraw jointly from the ABM Treaty."
The official would not go into specifics about reductions of offensive nuclear weapons, saying the talks in Moscow will only start the consultative process.
The talks between the Rumsfeld and Ivanov will help set the agenda for talks between President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin later this year.
Rumsfeld will return to Washington Aug. 13.

i agree MamaMooey. the bus stops need to be moved from public square. when i walk from my office to tower city during the day there seems to be an overwhelming mob of people right there at the front of that building. in this case, Cleveland can learn from Akron. Akron just recently moved the main bus terminal area from Main street downtown to a close but tucked away location. this def. helps the perception one gets when visiting downtown main st.
Teemstro - You're a 25 y/o male, so am I. I also own a company so I get to see how much the healthcare costs for someone like you and I. My company offers a very generous plan through Medical Mutual including full medical, prescription, dental, and vision. My rate is less than $125 per month.
I'm having a hard time with people that think healthcare is too expensive when they're in their 20s! And male! My god, $125 per month just might make you go broke! Before posting on here, do some research and figure out your options instead of complaining.
crazy, i thought they had lost my girlfriend's renewal form in the mail. she sent it in 6 weeks before expiration and received the new plate sticker 2 days before expiration although the check cleared 2 weeks prior to that. it turns out that most government run agencies are just horrible, who knew?

That being said, I am a small business owner that provides paid sick leave, which is the norm for my company's industry. There is no way I could compete competitively in the job market for top talent if my company didn't. However, I do not believe all small businesses are the same, other small business owners must make choices that are consistent with their business model - just like individuals must choose to take or decline a position based on their individual needs. If an employee doesn't agree with a policy (ie. the availability of sick pay), they can choose to lobby their employer for a change or find a position with an employer that offers their desire as part of their compensation plan. You see, the (job) market determines what is the norm for a position - just like wages, fringe benefits, etc. If an employer is offering something that is unfair they will lose in the end, they won't be able to attract and retain quality employees. This will ultimately lead to the demise of the employer. In the end the employee has 90% of the power, they choose where they work!
It's troubling to me that you can't see these simple facts.
Cleveland.com is very different from your Facebook profile. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that. On Facebook you choose who you're friends with and engage in conversation with... if we're not friends then I can't see your profile and thus your comments, etc. This creates a level of comfort in others knowing your identity. I don't think many people are friends with people on Facebook that they don't feel 100% comfortable in sharing their views, otherwise they wouldn't be "friends". Cleveland.com on the other hand is a public forum where individual safety needs to be considered. In order to stimulate an even more honest debate on the topic at hand the posts are anonymous. I don't know anyone on here as far as I know and I'd rather post anonymously in case anyone is a loon and would like to go after me or my family for my viewpoints.
This is yet another rediculous article. You should feel thankful everyday that you still have a job that allows you bloviate your crazy opinions every week.
I'm not sure if anyone gets to Hudson much. I'm also unsure how this turned into a political conversation; however, Hudson has a reputation of being fairly east-coast liberal elitist - meaning that there are more than many residents that support our president whole heartedly.
A drive through Hudson during last fall's campaign season (a non-scientific study...) shows that there are plenty of folks in support of Obama.
I'd argue that there are more liberals than conservatives in Hudson.
for those that think 'if you like your healthcare you can keep it and if you like your doctor you can continue going to them', you are sorely mistaken.
(a) today, who chooses your healcare coverage, you or your employer? the answer is in most cases your employer. Now, when the vast majority of people are employed by small businesses facing forthcoming increased taxes, and the small businesses decide they're just going to drop coverage and employees are all to get on the government plan, do you really think that you're 'free to keep your coverage'? Many, many employers will cease to offer healthcare coverage for non-owners - why would they? their taxes are going up and the government is offering "free" healthcare.
(b) how easy do you think it is going to be to see your doctor when they're required to see a collective incraese of 47 million new patients? it's tuff enough to schedule an appointment today let alone when the system is more thoroughly overloaded.
The bottom line is that there is absolutely no benefit to the government plan if you are a normal middle class individual or family. There are only negatives to Obamacare to the vast majority of folks.
44023 - I completely agree. Fix the superior bridge and other inadequacies in our existing road infrastructure first, then work on rail.
271 between Chagrin and Broadway could use a couple new lanes, does anyone else sit in this traffic daily? I can only imagine the nightmare this route is going to be when the new University Hospitals location opens at Harvard - oh yeah, and add the new Eaton Corp. headquarters across the street and this corridor is going to be a nightmare.
enrealidad - I hope you find your comments painfully ironic. You're arguing that people are begging for a stop to be added to their location unnecessarily:
"Compounding matters are the people in this article begging for their marginally useful hamlet to be an added stop. Downtown Cleveland. Mansfield. Downtown Columbus. Springfield. Downtown Dayton. Monroe. Cincinnati. That's it. That's the list. People can find other ways to get to the Grafton prison."
Funny that you include Springfield, Mansfield, and Dayton. If you're going to include these three you might as well add Akron and Canton. Then by that standard go ahead and add every other town along the way. Akron and Canton are just as far out of the way as Dayton to the 3Cs.
Keep this a 3C project and add additional stops later!
Oh yeah, all comments on speed are completely warranted. If the train does not offer speeds in excess of 120mph then I'll just drive my car. Comments regarding walking once you get to your destination are useless, getting off in downtown Cleveland and walking to University Circle is quite a task. Even navigating the complex public transportation system is difficult if you're not used to it every day (read: those who don't own a car - they're the only ones using buses in Cleveland). Besides, maybe it's just me but I don't feel safe on Cleveland's buses or the rapid.
Good points Szieve. I love the audacity of city officials that say "...this will create 300 jobs." Just because you build it does not mean jobs will come. Jobs are created by companies that have demand for their products - having available space doesn't do this.
As Szieve said, there are plenty of available prime industrial spaces vacant in this city. How about we take care of those first instead of wasting stimulus funds on this project?
i didn't even read the article but, doesn't the PD own stock photos from this decade?
I want to make a few points about the mall site, which is by the way, a terrible location as opposed to the Tower City site or Wolstein's offering on the flats east bank.
1. The current convention center was built 80 years ago and is outdated. Building a modern and acceptable convention center in its place and on the same underpinnings is rediculous. For those that don't understand, this building needs to be FUNCTIONAL. That means that it needs to be accessible to very large vehicles and needs to accomodate large displays (both issues when you're underground). This is clearly an issue for the space since it will not be able to support industry standard ceiling heights. If the building is not functional it will be very easily overlooked when conventions are considering venue.
2. Cleveland clearly needs something to lift the city's spirits and spark progress. Burying the city's new beacon of hope underground is a psychological proplem. Why build the new Med Mart/Convention Center underground when a new and impressive building can serve as an indicator that successful public projects are actuallly possible. Please look at Pittsburgh or San Diego's convention centers for an example of how a new convention center can actually look..
3. Connectivity. The mall site lacks any of it. For those that haven't noticed, we have terrible weather. And the problem is, to be profitable this venue needs to be booked more than our three to four nice months per year. The Tower City site provides rail transit service to and from the airport without trudging in the snow, sleet, or rain. A huge perk.
4. If you haven't set foot in the city recently, I'm going to tell you something that might be new to you: the mall area is dead. I work in the Penton Media building so I'm quite aware of what's here. There are no restaurants worth visiting, no entertainment venues worth looking at, nothing. The Tower City site is physically connected to the Tower City Mall which can easily be resurrected to its former status since previous retail tentants can be enticed back with the opportunity to sell to thousands of conventioneers. There is also a bustling entertainment and dining district on East 4th, just around the corner. With Cadillac Ranch virtually on the edge of public square, the East 4th entertainment district is inching closer and closer to Tower City.
5. Physically connected HOTELS! The Tower City site has hotels, right onsite! Man, it doesn't take a genious to figure out this is an excellent perk. To be fair though, there are hotels located within easy walking-distance proximity to the mall site.
That's it. Go ahead, put it on the mall though. Great idea. This city makes one disasterous decision after another. It's no wonder why the city is virtually dead. I love Cleveland but I can't stand the decisions that are made in this city.
wez - of what relevance is your comment? just wondering how you could construe this as bad news for cleveland.
Also, i'm fairly certain that branches in florida and vegas are not for profit as well. i am unsure of abu dhabi.
what i do know is that we're better off as a city collecting all the payroll taxes from main office workers than nothing at all. we should be glad we have one of the best hospital systems in the world right here... but go on, keep hating on cleveland. healthcare is the one thing we've got.
dear god, i just looked at the photo and assumed it was taken in 1980. maybe this guy should just get cable if his sets are even cable ready.
teaparty - It is my understanding that there is a tunnel connecting the existing convention center to the Crowne Plaza hotel. That is the only tunnel I am aware of but I wouldn't doubt that there are more leading to various other external facilities.
I couldn't even get past the first line.
Steve - the money comes from somewhere, it's called our taxes! There still is no such thing as free money. It has to come from somewhere, or it's just being printed... which leads to the inevitable inflation which will therefore leave us all poorer.
You've got to be kidding me.
although it is commendable that this project got axed, what the heck were they thinking in the first place? can you see Honda or Toyota even thinking about producing this thing. let's see, the SSR wasn't exactly a raging success... apparently GM didn't learn their lesson.
the fact that research and development dollars were wrapped up into this project is a clear indication of how wasteful GM really is.
not sure if i've ever heard of anything good Cartwright did at KSU... lousy decision BGSU.
as an Akron grad there were plenty of good things you can say that Proenza was directly responsible for but knowing Kent state I don't think i saw too much change in the past 5 or 6 years.
I agree with monkie's comments... no one is forcing these people to live in these places. Why would you agree to live somewhere for obviously low rent if you didn't expect the place to be a rathole.
I love how AmishMafia insults President Bush for being in "great physical shape" while Barack Obama is celebrated on the cover of Mens Health magazine while being an admitted smoker. Do you think Barry misses a workout AmishMafia? Probably not, and I bet he isn't in line at 6:30pm after work for the elipticle machine at Urban Active either.
Things can't get any more backwards...

It's harder to coax students who are struggling academically to grow fast enough to catch up to their peers than it is to get typical students to pass minimum standards on state tests.
The first job is something urban schools often do well. The second job is what they struggle with but what most suburban schools easily achieve.
So says the Jacksonville Public Education Fund, an education policy and research group that Wednesday released its recommendations for Florida to revamp its nearly 15-year-old school grading system.
JPEF says that schools should get more credit for rapid academic growth among disadvantaged students and they should get fewer points for proficiency, which is Florida's definition for passing state tests. Currently, the report cards give equal weight to student growth and proficiency.

California's dismal turnout
With the GOP presidential nomination already sewn up and few other high-interest statewide races or issues on the June 5 primary ballot, California posted record low turnout this year, according to new figures.
From the Sacramento Bee report:
California's election turnout last month set a record low for a presidential primary in the state, with more than two of every three registered voters opting not to cast ballots…
Turnout statewide was 31.1 percent, shattering the previous record low of 41.9 percent for a presidential primary, recorded in 1996. State figures track balloting since 1914.
It's a reminder that despite its size and treasure trove of electoral votes, California's function in presidential years is largely to serve as an ATM for candidates.

(Press Release) Robert and Doris Kensing of Menard County have created two generous charitable gift annuities and a bequest that will support students and faculty in Texas A&M University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The endowments created through these gifts will be held at the Texas A&M Foundation and will honor the legacy of two Texas A&M agriculture professors: Tyrus R. Timm, a professor and former head of the agricultural economics department; and Fred Brison, a horticultural sciences professor.
The Kensings designed the charitable gift annuities to provide them with fixed payments for life from the Foundation as well as a charitable deduction.
The Kensings credit their success to hard work, wise investments and their Texas A&M degrees. "This university has been an influential part of our lives," Doris Kensing said. "We wouldn't have what we have without A&M."
Robert Kensing earned a bachelor's degree in agricultural economics in 1960 and an agricultural education master's degree in 1968. Doris, a graduate of Abilene Christian University, earned a master's degree in education from Texas A&M in 1970.
For 26 years, Robert Kensing worked in San Angelo as an economist for the Texas Cooperative Extension Service. He was active in the development and judging of pecan shows well into his 80s. He also was president of the Texas Extension Specialist Association, president and manager of the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association, and president of the Texas Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers Association.
"I've had the opportunity to work with a lot of good coworkers and to make a lot of friends across a big part of the country," he said. "Now the time is right to return our mentors' gifts, which have had such a profound influence on our lives." Early in her career, Doris Kensing worked as a bookkeeper and secretary before becoming an elementary school teacher in the Lake View School District (now part of the San Angelo Independent School District).
Now retired, the Kensings reside near Menard where they raise purebred Spanish meat goats.
The Texas A&M Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that solicits and manages investments in Texas A&M academics and student leadership programs

i've been making this recipe for years and love it. i like creamy and thin chowders both, and this is my go to for the latter. so easy.flag if inappropriate
I really enjoy chowder that is not thick - this recipe is just perfect - I usually up the clams - and depending on the guests - I take the clame out of the shells!flag if inappropriate
Very nice, I added a smoked paprika instead of bacon since my guests were vegetarian. Easy and delish!flag if inappropriate
Omigosh, Yum! I tried this recipe, because corn is in season, and I had five fresh cobs. I changed a few things: because I didn't use bacon, I added/sauteed 1/2 diced onion, 1 minced celery, and a few ounces of shelled lobster. I also added a small amount of cayenne, and a dollop of white wine! My grocery store didn't have fresh clams, so I used several cans of whole clams. I served in heated sourdough bowls, with a small piece of lobster on top! I'm not usually this fancy, but Wow!flag if inappropriate
This was tasty and easy to make. I did use frozen corn as well as mini new potatoes (that needed dicing but not peeling), which cut the labor a bit. Added about 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves, a similar quantity of dried chiles, and some minced parsley at the end. I used 2% milk and creamo (10%) rather than the called for homo milk and heavy cream (had them left over from a brunch) and result was fine. A wonderful Friday night meal with some crusty bread.flag if inappropriate
This chowder is worth digging your own clams for. Great as written but awesome with a few extra clams.flag if inappropriate
Great recipe. I only changed it a bit. I added extra piece of bacon and once it was slightly browned added a half of red bell pepper diced small. I did not add the corn (used frozen) with the potato as others had advised. I also only used aprox 3/4 lb potato. Once the clams opened up i added the corn. I did take all the clams out of the shells (didn't take too long). I like my soup a bit thicker so i added some corn starch to white wine and added that. The white wine (sav blanc) added another layer which was really great! I did a a bit of red pepper flakes per other reviews. Soup was yummy! Served with sliced toasted baguette that I broiled with a bit of olive oil.flag if inappropriate
I have made this three times. I don't make any changes, except I halve it because there are only two of us. Plus, two bottles of clam juice is sorta expensive. (Another reviewer uses fish stock-may be less expensive.) But, this is DELICIOUS! I am going to make it Friday with frozen corn from last summer. :)flag if inappropriate
This is absolutely delicious. It tastes even better served in carved sour dough bread.flag if inappropriate
I've probably made this a dozen time since the recipe came out in '07. It's definately a staple during the summer months. I use the frozen clams that they sell at Costco which are very tasty even on their own. I've used fresh and frozen corn and don't really notice a difference between the two. I also a some red pepper flakes to kick it up a notch.flag if inappropriate
