Layout Confusion

I am using AuthLogic and ActiveScaffold together in a Rails App.
Essentailly, through AuthLogic (using Railscast 167 tutorial) I create
a username/password signon screen, which has a link in the upper right
to allow one to Register should they not presently posses a username/
password. Very straightforward. If they click to Register, it takes
then to associate/edit/.

Here is how my associate/edit/id looks

note that this is rendered from erb''s in the views/associate
directory, inside of  /views/layouts/application.html.erb.

Note that I am using Active Scaffold.
Here is how it looks when displayed from within the edit functionality
of active_scaffold:

Notice that the  "Register | Login" and copyright notice are
incorporated into the inner edit form, because of  /views/layouts/
application.html.erb. How can  I set things up so that the inner form,
for editing or creating a record, does not do this?

here is my associate_controller.rb :

class AssociateController < ApplicationController
layout "application.html.erb"

  active_scaffold :associate do |config|
      config.label = "Associates"
      config.list.columns  [:lastname, :firstname, :username, :email, :branch]
      #list.columns.exclude :comments
      config.columns[:state].form_ui = :usa_state
      config.columns[:country].form_ui = :country
      list.sorting = {:lastname => ''ASC''}
      config.actions.exclude :show #, :delete
      config.actions.swap :search, :live_search

    end

        def new
            @associate = Associate.new
          end

          def create
            @associate = Associate.new(params[:associate])
            if @associate.save
              flash[:notice] = "Registration successful."
              redirect_to root_url
            else
              render :action => ''new''
            end
          end

          def edit
            @associate = Associate.find(params[:id])#current_associate
          end

          def update
            @associate = Associate.find(params[:id])#current_associate
            if @associate.update_attributes(params[:associate])
              flash[:notice] = "Successfully updated profile."
              redirect_to root_url
            else
              render :action => ''edit''
            end
          end
end

here is my /views/layouts/application.html.erb :
