http://www.tormey.org LLC?s, Corporations, And Other Business Structures - Part II: Written By New York Entertainment Attorney And LLC Counsel John J. Tormey III, Esq. ? John J. Tormey III, PLLC. All Rights Reserved. This article is not intended to, and does not constitute, legal advice with respect to your particular situation and fact pattern. Do secure counsel promptly, if you see any legal issue looming on the horizon which may affect your career or your rights. What applies in one context, may not apply to the next one. Make sure that you seek individualized legal advice as to any important matter pertaining to your career or your rights generally.
Part I of this article discussed the process of selecting a new name for a business, typically a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation in this day and age. Many people choose to incorporate or form an LLC, so as to minimize their personal liability for the debts, liabilities, and obligations of their business. There is cost to forming an entity, but the cost is often worth it. What follows is a brief discussion of ?personal liability?, and the types of entities that may be available. These types of issues regarding corporations and limited liability companies (LLC?s) are often brought to an entertainment attorney such as myself in the context of new entertainment venture start-up companies and otherwise, but are in fact universal concerns across manifold sectors and industries besides entertainment.

A full description of all the differences between an S-corporation (S-corp), a C-corporation (C-corp), and a limited liability company (LLC) would be beyond the scope of this article. Besides, the distinctions are often altered - some would say ?blurred? - by changes in the Internal Revenue Code and state laws. Even by the time you read this article, further changes to relevant tax laws and state laws may be made, further affecting your entity choice as between a limited liability company (LLC), a corporation, or other available form of entity such as a partnership or trust. The bottom line is that a choice of entity should be made upon current information only, with the assistance of a lawyer and an accountant. To do it any other way is to risk making a bad choice that one will later regret, especially when the first or successive tax returns relating to the LLC or corporation are filed. Though in this day and age an entertainment attorney will typically be asked to form and file a limited liability company (LLC) rather than an alternate form of entity in the context of a new media or entertainment business start-up, the choice of entity should still be carefully examined by the entertainment attorney and the business-owner at the outset ? just as it should be carefully examined in any other sector or industry.
The distinctions between an S-corp, C-corp, and limited liability company (LLC) make sense when taken in the historical perspective. Look at them as the product of a kind of Darwinian evolution. In that vein, the S-corp and C-corp may someday become but extinct historical artifacts, while the LLC could become the only entity ?fittest? to survive. The LLC may be the best choice of entity - if affordable, and if one is not otherwise precluded from forming it by virtue of one?s own tax profile or one?s home state?s current restrictions on LLC?s.
At some point in history it was realized that persons involved in businesses could be thereby putting their own personal assets at risk as a result. That principle still applies, by the way. If one runs an unincorporated or non-LLC business out of one?s house, that business owner may risk later losing that same house, not to mention cars, bank accounts, and other assets, to the debts, liabilities and obligations of one?s business. This is what ?personal liability? is all about. A business owner wants to avoid personal liability, at all costs. The owner wants to shield his or her assets - like a house, cars, and personal bank accounts - from the risks engendered by the business. For these reasons, understandable and common to all humanity, the concept of a corporation was first formulated, many years ago. Rights deals in the context of film, music, television, and publishing, particularly, tend to be liability-evocative, and so it is not uncommon for an entertainment attorney to first focus on the structure of the business vehicle through which the deal is intended to run, before looking at the proposed deal itself.
The traditional and old-fashioned form of corporation in the U.S. still exists as of this writing - in the form of the C-corporation, named after a ?Subchapter-C? in the Internal Revenue Code. When properly filed and maintained, the C-corp shields the business-owner/principal from personal liability. For example, if there is US$10,000 in the C-corp?s corporate bank account, then, in theory, only that US$10,000 amount can be used to satisfy a civil (court) judgment against the corporation - even if the President and sole shareholder of the corporation has an additional $50,000 in his/her personal bank account. A ?wall?, ?shield?, or ?veil? is put up between the two sets of assets.
But the C-corp posed historical problems, principally that of so-called ?double taxation?. Those C-corp owners filed corporate tax returns as well as individual tax returns. The unsuspecting were thereupon often disheartened to find out that they were subjected to an extra tax hit. The C-corp would be taxed on corporate earnings. In addition, the shareholders could also be taxed personally on monies withdrawn from the corporation by way of dividends. The net effect wasn?t always necessarily a 100% increase in otherwise-prevailing tax (as the somewhat-misleading phrase ?double taxation? might otherwise suggest). But, on the other hand, the monies generated by the C-corp were required to filter through two ?layers? of taxation as opposed to one.
In this regard, a number of business owners, including some in the entertainment business, realized that they would have oddly been better off from a tax perspective if not incorporated - a bizarre result if there ever was one. Why should the tax code and state corporation law encourage you to take unacceptable personal risk, after all? Some persons thereupon decided to simply not incorporate (or ?un-incorporate?, dissolving a pre-existing corporation), and thereupon take the oft-significant risk of individual liability so as to minimize taxes. If continued, one would expect the rate of commercial litigations and personal bankruptcies to rise as result, an event which in no way would be in the public interest. Other persons instead opted out of corporate and business ownership entirely. As an entertainment attorney practicing in New York, I still encounter many companies who have yet to incorporate or form a limited liability company (LLC) ? they are typically either sole proprietorships or de facto partnerships, the risks of which their principals are still assuming personal liability whether aware of it or not.
The next installment of this article will address how society responded to the growing dissatisfaction with the C-corp - namely, the creation of the S-corp and the limited liability company (LLC) thereafter.

The Asian Innovation Century, Again - Scott Anthony - Harvard ...

by Scott Anthony??|?? 8:00 AM December 31, 2012

Over the last three years I have consistently stated my belief that Asia was emerging as a global innovation powerhouse. It's one of the primary reasons why I moved to Singapore in early 2010. In late 2011, I even wrote, "The overarching trend I continue to see is a shift in the world's innovation energy to the east."

While my long-term optimism remains, I think the region must overcome some very real hurdles before it can realize its potential. Some of these, like creaky infrastructure and a lack of a fully functioning risk-capital market, are straightforward and don't require further detailing. More pernicious and harder to address are three critical mindset shifts that need to happen.

First, there needs to be substantially higher tolerance for failure. The lack of failure tolerance can be rooted in laws ? long-lasting penalties for bankruptcies lead people to avoid risk. But it also can be from pressure from peers, family, friends, and co-workers. It can set early when children are in school. Innovation isn't random, but it isn't perfectly predictable either. Any success will have its twists, turns, and false starts. Some of history's most world-changing ideas were in fact accidental discoveries. A fear of failure can choke off innovation.

Second, hierarchical decision-making approaches need to shift to approaches that favor good ideas wherever they might come from. I remember vividly one experience at a large Asian company. We were working with a young middle manager that was developing a business plan for a new idea. It was quickly clear the idea stunk, and the middle manager knew it. I said, "If we all know this is a dog, why are we working on it?" The unsurprising answer was, "The boss likes it." The argument that the boss would ultimately be happier to not waste time on an idea that was destined to flop fell on deaf ears. Innovation can't be a largest-title-wins game; it has to be a legitimately best-idea wins. Senior leaders with wisdom and institutional knowledge can certainly spark great ideas, but so too can 20-somethings that lack preconceived notions and are living tomorrow today.

Third, companies, particularly large ones, need a dose of humility. Many executives in Asia are appropriately proud of their role in building world-class companies in relatively short periods of time. That success has come from discipline and focused execution. Unfortunately, those skills are less helpful in guiding innovation or leading a company through transformation. Some organizations display deep humility. For example, many executives in the Singapore Government have a deep curiosity, honed by spending time living overseas. They are always on the lookout for a good idea, wherever it might be. Other organizations, however, that lack appropriate humility will find the fall from greatness surprisingly swift and punishing.

These mindsets won't change overnight. Focused work by policymakers and corporate leaders in three areas can help:

1. Encouraging intersections. Just as cross-breeding changes populations, cross-breeding can change mindsets. The more Asian leaders that spend time overseas, the more Asians educated in the West return home, the more Westerners spend time in Asia, the more historical mindsets will shift in some ways.
2. Role modeling. Many Asian success stories over the past few decades involve heavy government intervention, family legacies, or founders that muscled into resource-intense industries. The more these success stories are balanced by innovators ? both in startups and large companies ? the more mindsets will shift.
3. Balancing education. Many Asian countries have top-flight education systems. Yet, the overwhelming focus on facts and rote memorization can blunt students' creative edge. Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shocked many Singaporeans earlier this year when he urged parents, "Please let your children have their childhood." The essence of the Prime Minister's argument is that encouraging free play and more balanced upbringing would ultimately lead to adults that had the curiosity, creativity, and willingness to fail that are so necessary in today's uncertain world.

Asia is as far from a monolith as you'll find in the world. Its people, cultures, heritages, religions, and customs are breathtakingly diverse. Imagine this diversity replicated in the business world. With the right mindset shifts, the vast well of innovation potential still lying dormant in Asia has the potential to change the world.

Navigate Financial Difficulties With These Personal Bankruptcy Tips ...

TIP! It is important to be upfront with all your financial information when filing for bankruptcy. Failing to list these could cause the dismissal or delay of your bankruptcy petition.

There are many different reasons why the debt could have piled up on you and became overwhelming. What?s important now isn?t how it happened but rather what you intend on doing in order to handle it. The main point is to start over financially. By following the tips presented here, you can transform your life through personal bankruptcy.

TIP! Speaking with others who have gone through bankruptcy can help you feel better about the process. It?s quite common for you to feel alienated and unable to connect with your friends while you?re dealing with the stress of a bankruptcy.

Educate yourself as much as possible before filing for bankruptcy. Take stock of your debts, and make sure that they can be wiped out by declaring bankruptcy. Some debts, including credit card expenditures on luxury or unnecessary items may be ineligible for discharge if made during the 90 days prior to the bankruptcy filing. Check with your state?s bankruptcy laws to be sure.

TIP! Never forget that you still deserve to enjoy life while you go through the bankruptcy process. Filing is the most intensive step in the process, so afterwards it?s important to let go of some of your stress.

When preparing to file for personal bankruptcy, be sure to keep a list of the questions you have for your lawyer. Remember that lawyers charge lots of money for their time. List down your concerns and questions to make it easier and to save money. Do not leave until you know you have a grasp on the situation.

TIP! If the primary debt you carry involves student loans, bankruptcy may not be very helpful to you. While situations vary, under most circumstances, student loans are unlikely to qualify for discharge.

You may want to see if you can get lower payments on your vehicle if you want to keep it. Filing for Chapter 7 can help to lower your monthly payments on possessions such as your vehicle, helping to ease your financial load. For instance, you can get lower payments on you car if you purchased it before filing and took a loan with high interests on it.

TIP! Check your debt to find out if it will clear the bankruptcy and avoid unnecessary filing. Certain debts, including student loans, may remain with you regardless of your bankruptcy filing.

If you?re thinking of getting divorced, evaluate the financial consequences of doing so. It is not uncommon for individuals to seek a divorce only to immediately file for bankruptcy due to unforeseen financial difficulty. Making sure that divorce is a good option is best.

TIP! Be honest when filling out your bankruptcy petition. Your petition could be immediately dismissed by the court if they discover you have been lying.

Learn about the personal bankruptcy rules before petitioning. There are many issues with personal bankruptcy code, and these pitfalls can cause problems with your case. If the regulations are not followed, your case may be subject to a dismissal order. Before continuing, research personal bankruptcy. This will make the bankruptcy process much simpler.

TIP! Remember to spend some quality time with your loved ones. The process for bankruptcy can be hard.

Choose an attorney that is respected in your area. Ask if you can get a free consultation to find out if bankruptcy is the best option. Take all financial information when going to a consultation. Your lawyer will then educate you on how the filing process will go.

TIP! Be certain to create a list that displays all the debts you want discharged when you file. Any debts you forget to list will not be discharged.

Do some research about bankruptcy laws before filing for bankruptcy. There are often laws prohibiting the transfer of money from the filer for a certain period preceding the bankruptcy filing. It is also against the law to max out your credit cards before filing for bankruptcy.

TIP! Learn the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. Chapter 7 eliminates all debts.

Ask for a free consultation with your bankruptcy attorney and ask questions about experience and education. When you arrive at a consultation ask plenty of questions. You should also seek free consultations from several attorneys prior to choosing one. Therefore consult with different lawyers and get a feel for them, then decide which one suits your needs You need not decide right away. So, this gives you plenty of time to consult with several attorneys.

TIP! Before undertaking the bankruptcy process, ensure you have made the correct decision. You have other options available like consumer credit counselling services.

Do not hesitate to remind your lawyer of any details regarding your case. Chances are that you may have forgotten to tell them about certain specifics that may be important to your filing. Don?t be afraid to speak up, as it is your case and your future will be affected by its outcome.

TIP! Stop using credit cards as soon as you decide to file for bankruptcy. It can be tempting to go on a buying spree, but the courts will frown on it.

As mentioned, the events that cause bankruptcy are not happy. Even though that is the case, you should not allow it to depress you in any way. Bankruptcy is not the end. Follow the tips given here in order to make it a new beginning.

Dockworkers strike averted for now at US ports

NEW YORK (AP) ? Dockworkers along the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico agreed Friday to extend their contract for more than a month, averting a weekend strike that could have crippled major ports from Boston to Houston and bottled up billions of dollars' worth of cargo.

Talks aimed at reaching a new contract covering the 14,500 longshoremen will continue during the extension, which runs through Feb. 6.

The dockworkers' union and an alliance of port operators and shipping lines agreed to the extension after resolving one of the stickier points in their negotiations, involving royalty payments to longshoremen for each container they unload. Details were not disclosed.

Federal mediator George Cohen said the agreement on royalties was "a major positive step forward."

"While some significant issues remain in contention, I am cautiously optimistic that they can be resolved," he said.

The contract between the International Longshoremen's Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance originally expired in September. The two sides agreed to extend it once before, for 90 days, but it had been set to expire again at 12:01 a.m. Sunday.

As recently as Dec. 19, the president of the longshoremen's union, Harold Daggett, had said a strike was expected.

A walkout would have crippled the loading and unloading of a vast number of products, including electronics and clothing, and made it more difficult for U.S. manufacturers to get parts and raw materials at a time when the economy is in shaky condition. The ports involved handle about 40 percent of all U.S. container cargo.

Business groups expressed relief that the two sides had agreed to keep the docks running.

"A coast-wide port shutdown is not an option. It would have severe economic ramifications for the local, national and even global economies and wreak havoc on the supply chain," said National Retail Federation President Matthew Shay.

White House spokesman Matt Lehrich said: "We're pleased the parties are going to continue their work at the negotiating table and continue to urge them to reach an agreement as quickly as possible."

Major ports that would have been frozen included the massive terminals serving the New York City area and critical seaports in Savannah, Ga., Houston, and Hampton Roads, Va.

Other ports that would have been affected are in Boston; the Philadelphia area; Baltimore; Wilmington, N.C.; Charleston, S.C.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Miami; Tampa, Fla.; Mobile, Ala.; and New Orleans.

Longshoremen on the West Coast have a separate contract.

Supercharge Your Job Search in 2013 | Healthcare News ...

Managing your job search in this economy takes a lot of energy. Scouring job postings, never-ending networking, and constant applications and interviews can take a toll if you?re not careful.

Your job search can only ever have as much energy as you do. For 2013, taking time to recharge yourself will supercharge your job search. Try these techniques:

Write What?s Right: Studies show that people are happier when they take a few minutes each day to write down what is going well and what they are grateful for. Do what feels good to you. Write a few sentences about something good that happened during the day or something you are thankful for in your life and you?ll feel better about your job search and about life in general.

Start Small: What substance is tougher: water or rock? The answer is water. Over time, small drops of water can erode stone. In your life, small consistent actions can also overcome obstacles. Big goals and big dreams are great as long as you remember that you achieve them with one step at a time. Break down your goals into chunks that are easier to focus on and accomplish. And, if you ever feel that you don?t know how to move forward, ask, ?What is the smallest step I can take toward my goal??

Celebrate Small Successes: Getting a job is not the only measure of success. A job offer only happens after many small victories. Did you apply for a job today? Did you call someone you know to talk about your job search? Did you investigate a new kind of position? Pay attention to everything you do and take a moment to praise yourself. Some people have become so discouraged that they?ve stopped looking for a job altogether. You have the courage and persistence to keep going. Celebrate it.

Seek Support: It?s a proven fact that the quality of your connections to others has a bigger impact on your personal satisfaction than almost anything else. It?s easy to get so caught up in your job search that you forget that there are people around who want to help. Make a point of connecting with friends and loved ones and using their support network in 2013. Don?t have a network? You can make one by joining a job-search forum or looking for a community group for job seekers.

Create a Replenishing Ritual: We all have things that energize us and help turn a good day into a great day. Commit to discovering and practicing those rituals that replenish you every day. A few minutes each morning to read, journal or meditate can make a lasting difference.

The final technique is to Adjust Your Attitude. While you might wish for the perfect job, the reality is that a search is less like a sprint and more like a marathon. The good news is that when you make recharging yourself a priority, you know you?ll be able to finish the race. More than that you?ll be ?supercharged? all along the way and have enough energy to really savor crossing the finish line.

Happy job hunting in 2013!

What to Do With Your New Android

[More from Mashable: Facebook in 2013: More Growing Pains Ahead]

Switching from an older Android requires a bit more prep, but it's not impossible. Once you have a Google account, simply log in and sync accounts to receive your email and contacts. Some of your data, like photos and apps, will not transfer as easily, but there are a few ways to get around that.

The easiest way is to purchase the MyBackup Pro app. It'll cost you $4, but the app backs up data and restores it to a new device.

If you'd rather start with a clean slate, without losing old photos, store all of your data in the cloud. Apps like Dropbox will back up data, but you can manually restore specific items to the new device.

Apps will need to be re-downloaded manually on a new device. Any apps purchased on a former Android will not need to be purchased again, but you will have to download those again, too.

Get Connected

The first thing to do before playing around with your new phone is to set up a Wi-Fi connection.

Hit the Menu button, and choose Settings. Then select Wireless & Networks and connect to the proper Wi-Fi as you would anywhere with a computer.

You'll also have the option to connect to mobile networks -- those settings can be found in the same menu. Your phone runs on 3G or 4G mobile networks when there is not a Wi-Fi connection.

It's important to connect your phone to Wi-Fi when it's available, because running on mobile networks uses data. Each download will cost data, which can quickly run over when you first get a new phone and want to try new apps. Running over on data can be very expensive.

Apps on Apps on Apps

Now that you're up and running, it's time to dive into the Google Play Store and get the apps that will make your life easier and more efficient.

There are so many apps for every aspect of your life. It depends on whether you want something entertaining, educational, fun, informative, creative or navigational. Sifting through apps can feel overwhelming -- trial and error is the best way to approach the task. You can always uninstall an app if you don't want it.

If you plan on purchasing anything, you'll need a credit card. Your information will be stored securely, so you'll only need to enter this once. But that doesn't mean you have to spend money -- there are plenty of free apps that will help you just as effectively.

Your phone will already have built-in apps, which differ with every manufacturer. These are likely due for an update before you even log into the new device. You can update them all at once by opening the Play Store, tapping the Menu button and selecting "My Apps."

The Google Play Store can be accessed and adjusted from your phone or a desktop when logged into your Google account. You can install, update or remove any app from your phone via the store.

Google's native apps should already be built in the device. If you can't function without these tools -- which is likely why you went with Android -- you won't be disappointed with the mobile versions.

If you juggle more than one email address, Gmail will access multiple accounts in one device.

Google Maps is a seamless GPS system, plus the updated app gives offline maps, indoor navigation and recommendations for nearby places.

Social

Facebook's native app favors Android devices. The app closely mirrors what you'd see on a desktop, making it easy to navigate. Like any other app, it has pre-fixed settings, so you might need to adjust, depending on your preferences.

After downloading and logging in to your account, hit the Menu button and select Settings. If you don't want to use Facebook Chat from your phone, make sure Chat Availability is off. You can also adjust notifications so they only push the updates most important to you.

If you choose to sync your Facebook friends, they will automatically appear in your contact list if they share their phone number. When you agree to use the Facebook app, it shows your phone number on your profile. If you don't want to share your number with friends, be sure to edit your contact info so that information is only available to you. The easiest way to do so is from a desktop.

Setup for Twitter is pretty straightforward. You can adjust syncing and push notifications, just like you did for Facebook, by going to Settings from the Menu button.

There are a couple options for Twitter aside from the native app. If you're a list person, TweetDeck or Hootsuite might be better experiences.

If there is one good thing about Google+, it's the syncing features that come with an Android device. If you don't use the network as a social place, it can function as an automatic storage space. For example, if you take a photo with your phone, it will save to your Google+ account, even if you delete the photo from your device.

Of course, there are plenty of other social networks, so test them out and judge for yourself. If you don't like one (or any app, for that matter) you can always uninstall it from the Google Play Store, just as you would update it.

Music

Your new Android replaces the need to carry multiple devices, including an MP3 player. If you're gung-ho Google, the native Music app stores all of your files in the cloud, so you can easily switch from device to computer.

There is no native iTunes app, but that's nothing a little hack can't work around. DoubleTwist is worth the $5 pricetag if you cannot live without your iPod. Also, your iTunes library syncs over Wi-Fi -- no wires required.

There are other great apps for music lovers on the go. Spotify is the best service for sharing and discovering music. You can send friends songs, albums and playlists. The free service features a nearly limitless music library, or you can upgrade to premium for an unlimited, ad-free experience.

Should You Use An Email Marketing Campaign?

There are several different ways to get your business out there, and one that has worked out quite well for a number of businesses is the use of an email marketing campaign. If you don?t know what this is, then it might be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the concept. There are a seemingly countless array of marketing tools

Do you need an email marketing campaign?

available for online use, and a well-strategized email marketing campaign could very well be one of the most important things you could ever put into practice.

An email marketing campaign is not a new concept. Businesses have been using email for years to send out newsletters, promote their business with printable coupons, and much, much more. Some have forgotten just how useful email marketing can still be, and this is chiefly because of the rise of the social media marketing on sites like Facebook and Twitter, and the viral marketing opportunities offered through sites like YouTube. And while you should certainly keep these ideas in mind for promoting your business, by no means should you automatically disregard email marketing as something that couldn?t be extremely useful for your own business.

By no means should you ignore a concept as potentially useful as an email marketing campaign.

Basically, an autoresponder sends emails to people automatically. It is also capable of responding to the emails that are sent to it. This is great software to have for those times when it?s easier to remove the human element from an interaction between a customer and a business. A good example of this would be a small business closing its offices for a brief period of time, perhaps due to a vacation, and using autoresponder to let anyone who emails them that they will be available to answer their email personally until a later date and time. This takes a good deal of pressure off of a business that still wants to be able to let their customers know that their voices are being heard, and that their questions will be answered promptly.

But what does this have to do with marketing? That?s the beauty of this software. It has an incredible assortment of ways to interact with a large group of customers that other means would not allow. You can send out a newsletter to your mailing list, email instructions, coupons, news, and advertisements about upcoming or discounted products. The marketing potential of this software is impressive enough, but when you couple it with the customer interaction potential, it becomes something that?s indispensable to a great many businesses.

It might be something that will prove to be indispensable to your business, too.

Do You Need An Email Marketing Campaign?

It?s up to you to decide if this is something you want to use in your own business, but the chances that you should use it are pretty good. By no means should you disregard the other marketing possibilities available to your business, particularly in terms of online marketing, but using an email marketing campaign, with a tool like an autoresponder is something that nearly every business with an online component should use. Be careful that you don?t overwhelm your mailing list with too many emails. That?s really the biggest rule of thumb to remember with this software.

Look into developing an email marketing campaign today, and start to think about the ways you could use it for the health and growth of your business.

LEARN ALL ABOUT USING AN EMAIL MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO MARKET YOUR BUSINESS MORE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY!

Book Challenges Kids With Science-Based Mysteries

Copyright ? 2012 National Public Radio. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.

IRA FLATOW, HOST:

This is SCIENCE FRIDAY. I'm Ira Flatow. Did you get a box set of "CSI" videos for the holidays, you know, the show with the magical blue light that analyzes all the clues? Any enhanced photo software photo thingie that makes impossibly blurry pictures clear again? That's my favorite, how they can magnify something, and it just suddenly fills in all those little pixels.

If this only-on-television sort of sleuthing is not for you, where they solve a horrible crime in an hour, how about a more cerebral kind of game, where you can solve a crime in a minute? Presented for your consideration, short mysteries for kids you can solve with a little logic and some science knowledge.

Want to give it a try? Our number 1-800-989-8255. Give us a call, and you can talk about it with my guest. Eric Yoder is a report with the Washington Post, his day job, but he's also co-author with his daughter Natalie Yoder of the book "One Minute Mysteries: 65 More Short Mysteries You Solve With Science!" Just published, they're both with us today. Welcome back. Happy holidays.

ERIC YODER: Thank you.

NATALIE YODER: Thank you, hello.

YODER: And thank you for having us.

FLATOW: You're going gangbusters with this series. I guess it must be well-accepted, Emily(ph) - I mean Natalie. I'm sorry.

(LAUGHTER)

YODER: It's OK. Yeah, they're doing very well. This is our third book. The first two were written when I was a middle school and high school, and now I'm a college student. So we've seen these books grow, and apparently everyone likes them.

FLATOW: Now do you start with a concept you want to get across and then write sort of backwards to come up with a story?

YODER: For some of them we find a common science fact or misconception, and then we build a story around them. But some of them are just problems that we see in daily life, and we decide to make them a story.

FLATOW: 1-800-989-8255 if our number, if you'd like to play along with us, and I'll read one or two if I can get the time for it of 65 more short mysteries, and maybe you can answer the question or solve the mystery of how somebody knew that. And I like the way the book has always been set up. You have the mystery on one page, and then you turn over the leaf, and you see the answer to the mystery on the next page.

YODER: Yes, we tried to do that so there's kind of an immediate reward, especially for children, rather than for example putting all the answers in the back of the book and making them fish around for them. We find that kids like to read several in sequence, and just having them page after page like that I think really encourages them to keep reading.

FLATOW: Natalie, as you say, when we first met you back in 2009, you were in high school. And now you're off at college. Are you going to be studying literature and writing or move on to something...?

YODER: I'm actually a sophomore at Penn State. I'm studying communications and political science. But I am taking writing-intensive classes, and in the future I would like to do writing for PR or marketing. So this has definitely helped.

FLATOW: Political science you think will be helpful?

YODER: Yes.

(LAUGHTER)

FLATOW: OK. That was one of the favorite subjects when I was in college many years ago, but that's good. And are the books actually being well received? You say you're selling a lot of them. But do you know if they're being received in high schools or middle schools? Are kids being introduced to them through classes in schools at all?

YODER: Yes, we've heard from many, many teachers both directly and through comments sent to the publisher that teachers like to use them to reinforce what they're teaching in the classroom. Sometimes they use them as homework assignments, sometimes as warm-up assignments during the class period or as maybe extra-credit assignments.

And we have just heard so many teachers tell us that they really, really find them valuable as a real-life way to reinforce what they're trying to get across in the classroom.

FLATOW: All right, I have a couple of contestants. I think it's Dante(ph) and Erica(ph) in Nashville. Hi, welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY.

DANTE: Hello.

ERICA: Hi.

FLATOW: Hey there. OK, are you ready to listen to the story, the mystery, and maybe solve it for us?

DANTE: We're ready.

FLATOW: OK, here it goes: Ivan's father had bought a new smoke detector six months earlier, putting each one of them on each level of their house, one in the laundry room downstairs, one in the sunroom on the main level, one in the upstairs hall between the bedrooms.

The smoke detectors sent wireless signals to an alarm system. Ivan's father had asked him to replace the batteries and looked surprise when Ivan brought the smoke detectors to him, where he was working at his tool bench in the garage; that was where they kept the fresh batteries.

You didn't have to take them off their bases, his father said. You could have just taken the new batteries, opened each smoke detector where it was and switched the batteries there. Sorry, I guess I didn't understand what you meant, Ivan said. Can't we just change them here? Well, to do that sure, but we have to put each smoke detector back in the same place, or the alarm system won't work right, his father said.

They're - and they're all the same except that the color of one is more faded than the others, and one has dark spots. At least that tells us what we need to know, doesn't it, Ivan asked? And so I guess the question is: How do they know where to put them back? Dante and Erica, where do they know how to put them, or which one goes to where? Any answers to that?

(LAUGHTER)

DANTE: The one that was in the - it was in the sunroom...

FLATOW: One in the sunroom, one in the upstairs hall.

DANTE: That one's going to be duller, the color will be duller, or faded I guess.

FLATOW: Yeah, you got that. Let me go - let me read - that's very good. Let me go to the answer page. It says: the faded one must be the one from the sunroom, the brightest of the places, Ivan said, setting aside the one with the lighter color. And the dark spots on this one are mildew, meaning it must have come from a damp, dark place, the laundry room. That leaves the other one for the upstairs hall.

DANTE: Very good. Thank you.

FLATOW: Did you - do you study science in school, Dante, was...?

DANTE: I'm a third-year medical student, and my wife is a biology teacher.

FLATOW: Is that you, Erica?

ERICA: Yes.

FLATOW: Did your training help, you think, solve these problems?

ERICA: No.

(LAUGHTER)

ERICA: Common sense.

FLATOW: Just common sense. Well, thank you for playing along with us. I wish we had a prize to give you, but we don't.

ERICA: Thank you.

DANTE: Thank you.

FLATOW: Just the knowledge that you helped the rest of America solve the problem. Have a happy new year to you both.

DANTE: You guys, too, bye.

FLATOW: Bye. Is that typical of how it works?

YODER: Yes, some of them are set up kind of as the classic mystery story, where it must be one of these three things that happened or, you know, in whodunit terms, it must have been one of those three people who did it. And so you use your scientific understanding to, you know, eliminate possibilities and to, you know, match up causes and effects.

FLATOW: So you must be already thinking about the next book you'd like to take on. Do you think about making each one topical, different topics, or do you mix them all up in the book?

YODER: We mix them up depending on where we get the ideas. We have kept a folder of ideas just working on it over the last several years. And so the first book was of science stories. The second book, of course, was stories based on more mathematical principles, and of course this one is science again. So it is a little easier to get science-based stories and ideas because there's just so much of science around us in everyday life.

FLATOW: So you - Natalie, do you come up with ideas from things you see on TV or where?

YODER: Some of them are from things we see on TV, but a lot of the concepts, again, come from daily life. And some of them are just facts that I learned in school or we've encountered at home or on family vacations. And science is all around us. So is concepts in math. And sometimes you just have to look into things and find the mystery within them.

FLATOW: There you go. Let me see if I have time for one more to read. Let's go to John(ph) in Atlanta. Hi John.

JOHN: Hi, how are you doing?

FLATOW: All right, ready to play? Here I go.

JOHN: Yeah, I'll give it a shot.

FLATOW: Hey, I had an old picture up of my grandma looking just like that, only it wasn't a costume to her, Cassandra said, as Ingrid walked into the homeroom. She said they actually thought you look cool. Their school normally had a dress code, but it was Halloween, and everyone had come in that day wearing costumes. Ingrid was dressed like a hippie. She had a tie-dyed shirt, beads, sandals and sunglasses with orange lenses shaped like hearts.

Ingrid took off the sunglasses for class, but she put them back on when it was time to get ready for the Halloween party in the afternoon. The class was decorating the classroom and painting signs for the school parade. Kahn, who thought he was funny, was hanging decorations upside-down. Preston was pretending to sword-fight in his pirate costume with a paintbrush. And Ricky was playing with fake blood after putting some on his zombie costume.

When it was almost time for the parade, Cassandra noticed that one of the signs had been decorated with a red, rather than an orange pumpkin. OK, who's the joker here, Cassandra asked? John, do you have any guesses, and reason it out with us.

JOHN: Right, well, I would guess that the person who painted the pumpkin red was the person who was wearing orange sunglasses because that changed the way she saw the light. Was that Ingrid as the hippie?

FLATOW: Well, let's go to the answer page. Flip over - or there is a picture of someone wearing sunglasses. She looked around the room for a guilty face. I see now, Cassandra said, it's your orange-colored sunglasses, Ingrid. They make everything look the same color to you. They're acting as filters, so the light of only one or some colors come through to your eyes, but other colors are blocked. What you thought was orange paint is actually red. Take off those sunglasses, and you'll see.

Oops, Ingrid said laughing, I guess we'll just paint some flames on it and call it a pumpkin on fire.

(LAUGHTER)

FLATOW: Very cute ending. Thank you, John, you got it right.

JOHN: Great.

FLATOW: Thanks for playing along with us.

JOHN: Thank you very much.

FLATOW: You're welcome. Have a happy new year.

JOHN: You too, bye.

FLATOW: It seems like you don't have to be a kid, Natalie, to enjoy playing these little games with the puzzles here.

YODER: Well, I hope not. I hope that people at all ages can enjoy them.

FLATOW: Yeah, and do you laugh at the things you see on TV sometimes, like I started out by talking about CSI and weird kinds of instruments they have that nobody has?

YODER: I'm actually a big fan of "CSI," but it's also cool to be able to write them and to know that children will be able to solve them.

FLATOW: Yeah, so when can we see the next book?

YODER: Well, we're working on it right now. We're thinking about doing something math-oriented again. But we have some other ideas, and we might try a different format the next time around. So it will be some time, but in the meantime, we're really happy that this book just came out, and it's, you know, now available along with the other two.

FLATOW: All right, thank you very much for taking time to be with us, and have a happy holiday.

YODER: Thank you.

YODER: You, too, thank you.

FLATOW: Eric and Natalie Yoder, author of "One Minute Mysteries: 65 More Short Mysteries You Solve With Science!" We're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about probably a renaissance scientist you've probably never heard of because so many of his ideas were wrong. No wonder you didn't hear about him, but still an interesting guy. Stay with us. We'll talk more about him when we get back after this break.

After Newtown, Americans want their guns, with some restrictions

(Reuters) - Nearly seven in 10 Americans support the idea of placing strong or moderate limits gun ownership following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, a Reuters/Ipsos poll said on Thursday.

But laws that permit citizens to carry concealed weapons or use lethal force for protection while in public were just as popular, the poll said.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll, which surveyed 1,477 Americans online between December 23 and 27, highlighted the difficulty U.S. policymakers face in devising ways to curb gun violence: gun control laws enjoy fervent support in the abstract, but laws preserving specific gun ownership privileges are also well liked.

The poll results come roughly two weeks after police say 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, using a semi-automatic weapon to kill 20 first graders and six school staff members. Ahead of the rampage, he had killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, in their home five miles away. Lanza killed himself as police arrived at the school.

It was the second deadliest school shooting in U.S. history after the 2007 massacre at Virginia Tech University in Blacksburg, Virginia, which left 32 dead.

The Reuters/Ipsos survey found that 48 percent of respondents agreed that "gun ownership should have strong regulations or restrictions." Meanwhile, 69 percent and 68 percent either strongly supported or somewhat supported laws allowing law-abiding citizens to get a concealed-weapon permit and "laws allowing citizens to use deadly force to protect themselves from danger in public places," respectively.

Some restrictions on gun ownership enjoyed even more support than concealed carry rights. Nearly nine in 10 Americans favored laws requiring background checks before someone purchases a gun, and just over seven in 10 favored limits on the number of guns someone could purchase in a particular time frame.

But nearly four in 10 Americans said they supported allowing law-abiding citizens to bring a firearm into a "church, workplace, or retail establishment," according to the poll. Several states currently ban guns in such places.

An equal number said they were "very concerned" about increased purchases of semi-automatic weapons following the shooting in Connecticut, further illustrating the dissonance.

The latest poll results echoed attitudes expressed by Americans surveyed immediately after the Newtown massacre and differed sharply from Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted prior to it. The share of Americans supporting strong limits on gun ownership rose by 8 percentage points to 50 percent in the days after the shooting.

The poll's findings had a credibility interval, which is similar to a margin of error, of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
