 Ridenbaugh Press » A public corporation
We tend to think now of corporations as almost a creature of nature, that has always been with us as it is now: Legally, a “person” under the law, the same as you or I, but also with extraordinary advantages you and I do not have.
And corporations ran with it: Some of the results have been highly positive (a bit chunk of this nation’s economic development can be attributed to the rise of the corporation) and some highly negative (such as the consolidation of industries we see today).
This is radical stuff: Corporate directors (who at least supposedly are in charge) will be required to consider the effects of their actions on the state and the nation, on their customers and employees and suppliers as well as stockholders; the long-term as well as the short-term.

 Free Press : Put the Public Back in Public Broadcasting
Public broadcasting is perpetually under attack in Washington by those who would cripple public-spirited alternatives to the commercial media and muzzle the critical voices and diverse fare that PBS, NPR and other public media offer.
Free Press is assembling a coalition of policymakers, reform-minded public TV and radio stations, and local citizen activists to advocate for a public broadcasting system that offers more independent programming, harder-hitting journalism, and the educational, ad-free content that is missing from commercial media.
While media technology has advanced in the 35 years since public broadcasting was created, one thing remains constant: the need for noncommercial, not-for-profit media, available free to the public with a mission to inform, educate, inspire and engage.

 Using Six Sigma to Reinvigorate Public Corporations
This article seeks to shed some light on public corporations and ask some hard questions about whether these agencies are properly accountable for the vast sums they spend, and for the public power and benefit they enjoy.
Public corporations can create long-term wealth and societal benefit when, in addition to generating productivity gains, they preserve resources for future generations, create value with society, and do not externalize costs onto society.
To make Six Sigma successful in the operations of public corporations, there should be full accountability for success as well as for failure, commitment on the part of our leaders, moving away from “I am the boss” mentality and removing politics from public corporations to sustain Six Sigma when administration and leadership change.

 Serious Games Source
One reason myths shape public perceptions is because few universities have seen computer games as worthy of serious academic study, robbing the discourse around games of robust data on their use characteristics, effects, and potential value.
A Corporation for Public Gaming (CPG) could be established that would operate on a model similar to its broadcasting equivalent, providing grants to develop a diversity of games for the public good.
An alternative model would be to support serious games within the existing Corporation for Public Broadcasting, by increasing the appropriation and changing the allocation formula from the 75-25 percent split between television and radio to one that reflected the additional funding for games.

 Going Public In The U.S. - Initial Public Offerings, IPO, IPOs, DPOS, Reverse Mergers, Shells, Venture Capital, ...
The "Direct Public Offering" is sort of a scaled-down version of the IPO, more suited to many companies that are not as far along in their business development as the typical IPO candidate.
Public companies actively seeking such mergers are sometimes referred to as blank check companies or public shells, given the fact that ideally only their corporate structures and status as publicly listed entities and fully reporting issuers are the dominant features of interest in such a merger.
The private company merges into a public company and obtains the majority of its stock (generally ranging from 80-95%) Once the merger is consummated, the post-merger, combined entity changes its name to that of the private company, appointing and electing key officers and directors and the discretion of the private company.

 Free Press : Put the Public Back in Public Broadcasting
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was created by Congress to serve as a “heat shield” to protect public broadcasting from political interference.
In 2005, Kenneth Tomlinson, the staunchly conservative chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), led a crusade to pull PBS and NPR programming into line with White House talking points.
These reforms should return the CPB to its original mission “to serve the public interest” and be “free of political interference,” as defined in the Carnegie Commission report of 1967.

 Reverse Mergers IPO public shells going public
The public corporation is called a "shell" since all that exists of the original company is its corporate shell structure and shareholders.
When doing a reverse merger with a public shell it can be very expensive and there are several things you must be aware of.
If you reverse merge a company into a public shell (which usually has 100 or more shareholders and a lot of shares in the float) when the stock price goes up these 100 shareholders inevitably sell the stock and the price collapses.
