Call for Papers - Cities and Regions: Managing Growth and Change - Atlanta 15-17 June - Abstracts due April 21
If you have a research paper in draft or completed that is important to the regional development challenges in the U.S. and North, Central or South America – please consider attending this conference and joining the Regional Studies Association
Regional Planning and the organizations that do it, the people that do it, are obscured in the U.S. by the focus on the MSA. In the early days of regional councils, there was a match between Council territories and the MSA, but the long reach of commuting patterns eliminated that over the years.
Metropolitan or rural, there is no national analysis and research about the regional council/multi-jurisdictional path States have taken to encourage cooperative action by neighboring jurisdictions. The political science establishment has promoted consolidation of local governments for decades, but none are willing to give up the historic identities set in play by their founders.
While there are great results that every planner can point to in their own region, little recognition exists in the greater world, and certainly not in the world of academic research. North American Regional Science Council, American Association of Geographers and even the American Planning Association, have little research published on regional councils. The Metropolitan Planning Organization has visibility, but there is an assumption that the MPO "metropolitan" geography is the same as that of the MSA
As an individual who began advocating for national regional council data in 1998, I have advocated regional council analysis by academics and agencies. Besides few being aware of regional councils, the major limitation is the lack of a data set. MSAs are the unit of regional analysis because the data set exists. The fact that from decade to decade the actual territory regularly changes, is unknown to most researchers. Therefore there is no recognition, beyond that of NARC and NADO of the contributions of regional council networks to local, state and federal effectiveness.
In 2005 I joined the Regional Studies Association to get a better sense of regional planning and policy throughout the world. It was founded in 1965, an alternative to the Regional Science Association organized in 1954 by Walter Isard. Both are international organizations today, RSA research taking into account politics as part of the policy process.
As an advocate for regional council analysis, I developed and published: Prototype Global Coding of Political Geographies for Library and Data Management-Wikipedia Example –in Papers in Applied Geography, Volume 36, 2013. p 246-255. I have a series of PowerPoints which are working papers for publication. There is an interest in the American experience, but academic researchers are not aware of the regional council networks, but regional planners can begin to contribute to the literature.

"Acts of conservation without the requisite desire and skills are futile. To create these desires and skills, and the community motive, is the task of education." — Aldo Leopold "Conservation: In Whole or in Part?" (1944); RMG 319
"Community motive" has not been adequately recognized. The "profit motive" that works in the civil markets made possible by self-governed communities, has been made to appear as the first cause of wealth. Yet, in one's life, the most important things one does are not for profit, but for family and community, to ensure their perpetuation. Both work together now, though in the beginning, there was only community motive, since survival and perpetuation depended upon the community.
History confirms industrious human communities have survived and advanced throughout time, leading to the present world which has enormous challenges, environmental, social and economic. They require more and more, all talents and abilities of humanity to achieve balance and eliminate the waste of war.
Cooperation Industry Earth is inclusive of all humans and their activity, therefore it has no classification code. As a singularity, it works worldwide, still recognizing the importance of boundaries for community self-management and the organization of regional/greater communities. Those who cooperate only for the domination of others, using war and conquest, are catalysts for greater peace. To see this requires a Greater Community Spirituality, without domination of any single religious or non-religious group.
This then is a paradigm offered to Humanity as a result of years of work, practice, study and inspiration: "Cooperation Industry Earth: Acknowledge boundaries. Work across them. Think local planet, act regionally."

REGIONAL COUNCILS: Today's Governmental Tool for the 21st Century (1986) - The U.S. is about to hit the debt limit ceiling again; another budget crisis. "How did this happen?" many wonder.
The U.S. is about to hit the debt limit ceiling again; another budget crisis. "How did this happen?" many wonder. In 1986, I wrote the following article for the World Future Society. If you are short of time, just consider the first line. The need is greater today, the answer the same.
REGIONAL COUNCILS: Today's Governmental Tool for the 21st Century (1986)
Thomas J. Christoffel, AICP
Revenue sharing may soon become deficit sharing, as the crisis of the U.S. Federal debt causes the national government to retrench from its fiscal assistance to state and local governments. With programs being eliminated or severely cut back, state and local governments are getting financial and program responsibility for their own self-help for urban, suburban and rural development. This decentralization is occurring at a time when the shift to a global economy is causing havoc in many industries and likewise in the tax base of local government. As they seek to broaden the tax base to help take up the federal fiscal slack, they find themselves in competition with other regions of the country or their own state, for existing as well as new development. Since no industry is safe from downturns, greater diversity is being sought in the local economic base. Economic development is the goal of the day for most state and local governments.
An important reality that governmental officials are learning is that "...business owners select locations primarily on the basis of regional characteristics, not local attributes."1 The structure of the economy does not follow governmental boundaries at the local level any more than it does at the global level. While this is not startling information to futurists, it is news to those elected officials who have not caught up with the changes in the global economy. Local officials must look at economic development in the context of their geographic region and attention must also be paid to the governmental services that create the environment in which productive economic activity can take place. In The Third Wave, Alvin Toffler correctly identified the trend to decentralization in government. To deal with it he said, "...the institutions of government must correlate with the structure of the economy, the information system, and other features of the civilization."2 State and local governments now need such an organization of the future to deal with these changes.
Organizations of the Future
Toffler said organizations of the future, "...have flatter hierarchies...are less top-heavy.... [and] consist of small components linked together in temporary configurations.... capable of assuming two or more distinct structural shapes as conditions warrant...."3 Furthermore, these organizations: ...need managers who can operate as capably in an open-door, free-flow style as in a hierarchical mode, who can work in an organization structured like an Egyptian pyramid as well as in one that looks like a Calder mobile, with a few thin managerial strands holding a complex set of nearly autonomous modules that move in response to the gentlest breeze.4
Surely there is no "module" more autonomous than a local government. Do local governments have such an organizational structure and managers available to help them deal with the crises of the future as the demands on and cost of governmental services increase?
Yes they do, since most local governments belong to: "...a public organization encompassing a multi-jurisdictional regional community ... founded, sustained and directly tied to local governments through local and/or state governmental laws, agreements or other actions."
Although the local name may be council of governments, planning district commission, or planning and development district, the generic name is "regional council." There were 534 councils in the U.S. at last count and they exist in all but four States: Alaska, Hawaii, New Jersey and Rhode Island. Their governing bodies are composed of elected and/or citizen members appointed by the local governments and states.
Although formed in response to federal programs and state enabling legislation, they each now work essentially as a tool of the local governments within their region, and as an advocate of the region to the state and federal levels. Staff size and budget vary with the nature of the region served, ranging from under five employees in some rural areas to over 50 in large metropolitan areas, but generally ranging between 6 and 15. Budgets similarly run from $150,000 to over $5 million, a very small share of the total local government cost.6 In Virginia in fiscal year 1982 for example, regional council budgets totaled $6.9 million compared to $4,313.2 million for cities and counties. This does not include towns or special districts.
Besides an Executive Director, councils employ what are essentially information workers; planners for community assistance, economic development, environmental concerns, human services, and transportation; engineers, data analysts, cartographers, and computer specialists. By providing ad hoc coordination from a regional perspective, they help the local governments correlate their local plans within the structure of the regional economy. They are also capable of dealing with specific sets of localities on various issues, being for example, the transportation planning organization for the urbanized areas of the region or the service provider for programs for the elderly. They are entrepreneurs providing data services to local governments and the private sector, regional training for agencies, and ride-matching services for commuters. Unlike local governments, they can easily expand and contract their staffs to meet program needs.
Changes in Local Government
According to the International City Management Association (ICMA), 1960 was a benchmark year for "...the beginning of rapid growth in the federal aid system, the closely related expansion of local government responsibilities, the creation of substate regions, and the modernization of state governments."7 In contrast, 1980 is the benchmark year for the decline of the federal aid system, but the roles it helped fund still remain for local government to carry out. In 1960, local governments raised 70.6% of their revenue and their budgets totaled $32,424 million. In 1983, their $178,994 million local share was 60.7% of their $294,651 million total budgets.8 Although the percentage share declined by 10%, the total increased 909% in 23 years. The Federal government share of state and local government revenues peaked at 22% in 1978, and declined to 18.5% by 1983. The difference of 3.5% was absorbed 1.7% by the states and 1.8% by localities.9
This has created conflict at all levels of government, since citizens want better services without further tax increases. Quality governmental services are, in fact, a prerequisite for the economic development sought to balance the tax base, so more investment is necessary. Local governments will be forced to seek greater efficiency and look for economies of scale in service delivery to deal with the impact of the federal fiscal crisis, the changes brought by technology, and the global economy now and on in to the 21st century.
How has the structure of government changed to correlate with that of the global economy? Local government has gotten more complex and fragmented. Since 1962, at the local level, decreases have occurred in counties, declining in total from 3,043 to 3,041; townships and towns from 17,142 to 16,734; and school districts from 34,678 to 14,851. Municipalities have increased from 18,000 to 19,076, and special districts from 18,323 to 28,588.10 Thus in spite of the consolidation of almost 20,000 school districts, the total number of local government units has increased by 10,931 since 1962.
Consolidation of local government units is often proposed as a means of dealing with the cost of government, but is generally rejected by local politicians and even by the voters in referendums, if the idea gets that far. The report of the Governor's Commission on Virginia's Future in 1984 called for a bold realignment of local government boundaries to consolidate many rural counties, but the idea has not moved any local governments to action. It also recommended more aggressive state leadership in the promotion of regional solutions to regional problems and state aid to reward regional cooperation and encourage consolidation among local jurisdictions.11
The rapid pace of change may in fact make people cling to the local identity provided by governmental boundaries, even as they understand that they work, shop and play within a greater region than the single jurisdiction in which they live. State aid to reward regional programs is more likely to help achieve coordination among the autonomous modules of local governments, since it offers something in return for local control shared in a regional program. Likewise, the State agencies must share decision making with these regional programs.
Kent Mathewson, Counsel on Urban Affairs from Ray Associates, Inc., recently told City and County Managers in North Carolina that, "Fiscal restraints are reshaping Federalism."12 He quoted Andrea Beatty, a former Vice President of ICMA, on the benefits to local governments of this situation: "As the Feds opt out the locals are given the opportunity for greater control and decision-making and ... enlarge the opportunity for regionalism as a cost necessity, e.g., water resources and economic development."13
What tools do localities have for working regionally?
Primarily there are the special districts, the majority of which are single purpose. They deliver services such as transportation, sanitation, parking, etc. As a reflection of the complexity of governmental services, they have grown by 56% between 1962 and 1982. While they can be efficient in delivery of a limited range of services, Kent Matthewson says his boss, Jim Ray, "...foresees the awful prospect of impotent general purpose local government elected officials (city and county) as special purpose politics move power and service options off of their hands and into special purpose districts, independent local commissions or boards, and regional single-purpose authorities."14
The Regional Council Alternative
Regional councils are a type of special district, but they can be comprehensively multi-jurisdictional and multi-purpose in terms of the scope of their services. By their representation from local governments, they can avoid some of the tunnel vision that limits single purpose authorities. Although regional planning commissions have existed in metropolitan planning areas since the 1920's, they were composed primarily of citizen representatives. It wasn't until the 1950's that informal meetings of city and county elected officials became structured as councils of government, as a response to local interest and encouragement by the Federal Housing Act of 1954.15 Georgia, in 1957, created a state-wide system of planning and development districts. Other States investigated the idea and followed suit. With the 1968 Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, the federal government encouraged the concept by establishing the A-95 review process which called for a regional review of applications for grant funding to determine the regional impact of projects. The Department of Housing and Urban Development supported the concept by funding councils for regional planning.
Regional councils, as early networks, put local governments into a situation where they had to share power in decision-making. Under this system, applications for Federal and sometimes state grants had to be reviewed by a regional clearinghouse for its impact on local and regional plans. Thus, to get a local sign-off on a grant application, a central city may have had to deal with growing suburbs or vice versa. These early regional forums were either controversial or yawn inducing as they dealt with the allocation of assisted housing or abstract issues of regional planning. The reaction of local officials to the concept of the regional council in many cases was that it was an unnecessary level of government and a threat, fearing that they would be eliminated at some time in the future. State administrations often oversold the early regional councils, such as in Virginia, where the enabling legislation even included an option for a directly elected multi-purpose regional service district.
What are the roles of regional councils today? That depends upon the size and characteristics of the region served. There are three basic categories, depending upon the size of the metropolitan area within the region: large, medium and small or rural if there is no City/suburban area of over 50,000 populations within a Metropolitan Statistical area of 100,000. In a 1985 meeting of regional council Executive Directors, all levels saw economic development as a functional concern of their member governments. This reflects a growing understanding by all involved in the process that companies pick regions in which to locate, since single jurisdictions can seldom offer all the amenities sought. Also the high cost of marketing encourages cost sharing approaches. The rural/small metro and medium metro councils saw their roles as providing specific types of technical and operational assistance for localities, while promoting, brokering and assisting in financing/grantsmanship deals to bring about economic development. The large metros operate as information/data resources with increasing private sector ties to facilitate better management of a broader region.16
As tools of local government, regional councils can be shaped by the member governments to handle programs for one or more member government as desired, though authority may have to come from state legislation. In southwest Virginia, two regional councils are involved in implementation of a variety of programs, including development of a regional industrial park, operation of solid waste disposal programs, and job training. In southeastern Virginia, for the Norfolk-Portsmouth-Virginia Beach metropolitan area, the regional council serves as the ad hoc coordinator for a variety of regional services through a network of appointed and elected officials. The states can use these councils to promote regional cooperation through an application of incentives, however if they are to function in concert with state agencies, the agencies must share power.
Looking back at the 1950's, the leaders in the regional council movement envisioned the benefit of local governments working cooperatively to benefit themselves and each other. Within the past thirty years, the regional council has grown from a "meet and eat" affair for local officials, to become a valuable tool for local and state governments to deal with complex issues which are now faced by the various substate and interstate regions of the country. A tremendous amount of consciousness raising was necessary on the part of local officials to get them into the 20th century. Now that many have arrived, using the local planning tool, it is now time for them to jump shift to a tool for the 21st century, the regional council.
The ultimate decentralization in the current political structure is to the local government, those boundaries set up in the horse and buggy days. The identity local governments provide is as important to American democracy today as it was then, so it is unlikely that the public will voluntarily reorganize in the name of efficiency. At the same time local government will face crises as impacts are felt from (1) the shortage of public dollars, (2) the shift to a global economy, and (3) technological changes. A viable option for local governments is the continued evolution of regional councils consistent with the needs of the regions they serve. The regional council is a tool for today and tomorrow.

|Here are some details about my project:
What was your source for this piece?
Tell us a little more about your inspiration. These are roses that I grow in the wee garden in front of my studio. The name of the rose is Floral Fairytale. There is another painting I did by that name, but this was taken right after I watered.
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this piece. I veered from my usual 140# cold press paper and used 300# cold press Arches. I liked working with it, didn't have to stretch it and I kind of liked the harder edges I got with it. I was also able to lift color quite easily. I used transparent watercolors and splashed a bit of Liquid Paper on it to finish and add to the water sparkles.
Absolutely beautiful Susan. But I too would like to know what liquid paper is please?
Beautiful. What is liquid paper?
Okay, I call it liquid paper, but the proper name is Aquacover by Creative Mark. It is available in five shades of white that perfectly match the most popular watercolor papers used today. It is non yellowing, dries quickly, and once completely dry, can be painted over without bleeding. It's great for restoring the lost white of the paper, or cleaning up edges and because it is the same color as the paper, you never get that chalky gouache look.
Absolutely fantastic background so deep
wow!!!!! i am, as always, so deeply in awe of everything you share. thank you for being so inspiring
Thank you. :)

Publisher's Description
This study explores how the gifts of the Advent season have a permanence that speaks to generations of children past, present, and future. Everything you need to implement this study for children is self-contained in this single resource. No additional student books are required.
What are the Christmas gifts that wont break? They are those gifts that cannot be lost, that never go out of style, and that are independent of the chances and changes of life. They are the gifts that have been graciously given by God.
Designed to be used in conjunction with the Adult and Youth versions in an all-church Advent study, this study will focus on four of those gifts that also coincide with the four outer candles of the traditional Advent wreath:
- Hope
- Love
- Joy
- Peace
During these 4-week studies, children will receive from God and pass on to others "Christmas Gifts That Wont Break!"

The OECD's second action point in the BEPS Action Plan is to "neutralise the effects of hybrid mismatch arrangements". Our commentary, and links to content, on action 2 are included here.
6 February 2016
The European Commission has proposed a standard for the EU as part of its Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive that is somewhat different...
although it only seeks to address mismatches between Member States' tax systems (mismatches between Member States and non-EU countries will be further examined).
Under the proposed treatment in the ATA Directive, characterization of the entity or instrument in the Member State where the payment has its source would be followed by the other Member State involved in the mismatch.
This proposal would therefore result in treatment contrary to the G20/ OECD BEPS Action 2 recommendations. For example, in relation to hybrid instruments, those recommendations would, as a primary rule, require the payer jurisdiction to deny a deduction for mismatch payments, whereas the EU proposal would require the payee to include such payments as income.
The different approach might be driven in part by CJEU case law which has indicated that the fact that payments are taken into account in another Member State cannot justify discriminatory treatment in the source Member State (see, inter alia, Philips Electronics C-18/11).
See further our Tax Policy Bulletin of 5 February 2016.
23 October 2015
Although we anticipate broad take-up of these recommendations, there are various issues with respect to implementation and timing that suggest it is far from clear…
how coordinated actions will be in practice.
The final recommendations do not include any specific start date or transition rules. These should be determined as agreed in Recommendation 9.2:
On drafting, the report also recognises in design principles (Recommendation 9.1) that the wording of relevant legislation or regulations will have to be specific to each jurisdiction, that jurisdictions should ensure the counter measures apply automatically and aim to neutralise the mismatch between jurisdictions rather than reverse the tax benefit while minimising the administrative burden for taxpayers and tax authorities. The lack of a motive or purpose test in the recommendations may give rise to the potential for unintended consequences.
There is a considerable degree of complexity involved in how countries should apply these rules to multinationals, particularly where the tax years/ accounting periods are not coterminous or countries' rules are not identical. The examples in the report will need to be supplemented further with more explicit examples if they are to deal with various situations that will arise in practice.
Having identified the interaction with measures on interest deductibility and CFCs, there is an added complication in having hybrids rules that apply in these situations. Further, while the acknowledgement of potential interaction between measures under different action items is welcome, and essential, some cross-over might also be considered in relation to other rules. The OECD and the European Commission (EC) have consistently stated that the EC has been actively involved in the BEPS deliverables and ensuring compliance with the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU and /or EEA agreement in intra-EU/EEA cases, but the application of EU law to the proposed recommendations is complex.
There is a recognition that ongoing review will be needed with a need for a regular exchange of information between jurisdictions on rules and specific taxpayer circumstances. The report also notes that tax administrations (and the OECD) should endeavour to make relevant information available to taxpayers.
21 October 2015
The recommendations that have been made to ensure that hybrid instruments and entities are not used to obtain the benefits of treaties inappropriately…
cover the following situations:
The OECD does contribute to greater certainty in suggesting that countries may consider a rule that an entity that is considered to be a resident of another state under a tax treaty, under the expanded rule, will be deemed not to be a resident under domestic law.
5 October 2015
The final Report confirms an agreed outcome of the September 2014 deliverable recommending domestic rules to neutralise the results arising from hybrid mismatch arrangements but:
there is now much enhanced guidance on both the implementation of the rules and transitional arrangements (though no specific start date). These cover the complex situations that may arise in the appropriate counteraction measures. This depends on the arrangement and its effect, so that in essence the payer jurisdiction denies deduction for payment or the payee jurisdiction includes payment as income.
Many more examples show how it might apply to structures involving 'payments' of interest, or royalties or for goods (but not notional interest deductions).
There are still outstanding issues for a number of matters including in particular stock lending, hybrid regulatory capital and interaction with CFC regimes.
24 September 2014
The discussion paper has been turned into a comprehensive set of proposed rules with …
no substantive change to the treaty recommendations, relatively minor changes to the domestic law recommendations but more work to do in 2015 on imported mismatches, repos, interaction with controlled foreign companies (CFCs), regulatory capital and collective investment vehicles, and to take account of deliverables from other workstreams.
The principle of automatic application with no motive or purpose test, and a structure of primary and defensive linked rules with a hierarchy, has been preserved.
Hybrid payments are broadly defined and can include royalties or even payments for goods, but do not include deemed payments, for example notional interest deductions.
The reverse hybrid & imported mismatch rules have been revised somewhat to make them clearer and more consistent with other recommendations.
A bottom-up approach is taken to scope and in several areas is now restricted to related parties, structural arrangements or controlled groups (including generally treating a person as holding any investments held by an investor that is acting together with that person). Rules against deductible dividends and double deduction situations are proposed to have no scope restriction. Where a related party threshold is used it has been raised to 25%.
The OECD and G20 will consider the coordination of the timing of the implementation of these rules. It is possible that this may not be until after a Commentary and guidance have been produced, foreseen by September 2015.
3 June 2014
The OECD's Annual Conference in Washington DC provided insight into several outstanding issues …
including the fact that there seems to be convergence toward the bottom-up approach that would see matters within scope being specifically included rather than a top-down blanket definition with limited carve-outs. .
It was reiterated that EU representatives have been involved in the discussions and their current work for example on the Parent-Sub Directive is consistent with the overall BEPS approach.
Timing issues are something that the group is still working on though it was acknowledged that this was something that they were struggling with.
On thresholds, it was mentioned that the current thinking was for a 25% control test on various financial instruments with a 50% standard otherwise.
26 May 2014
The OECD's webcast today noted that the Working Party/Task Force was discussing …
a number of outstanding technical issues. It was again stipulated that there has been "very close coordination" with the European Commission in coming to solutions which will be widely applicable.
15 May 2014
The bulk of the discussion at today's public meeting repeated points made in general feedback and related to the OECD recommendations for domestic law change such that …
the OECD Secretariat claimed most people supported a linking approach rather than a motive or abuse test (yet very many comments through the day suggested strong support for a motive/ abuse test).
Concerns were voiced about whether there would be widespread acceptance and implementation in practice - if not, the difficulties would be exacerbated. There were also questions raised about whether the proposals were too broad given the intended target of abuse.
There was overwhelming push back from the meeting against the proposals for a 10 per cent threshold of relevant ownership for related party test on the basis it is much tougher than is needed and is impossible to apply in practice. A threshold is needed that secures effective control in this context. The secretariat reported that it had received a range of suggestions on the precise level of ownership and was interested in comments as to whether, say, a 30 per cent test would work as a mid point.
It was pointed out that making domestic rules depend on the operation of foreign law would be difficult and is unattractive, raising significant compliance/ implementation issues. Concerns were also expressed about alignment with EU proposed rules on hybrids and also conflict with EU law - which suggests the OECD rules should operate only in cases of abuse (but reported by the Secretariat that the work on BEPS generally and hybrids also is being done with participation of the European Commission).
There was some discussion of treaty issues. A suggestion made to the OECD was to apply a more consistent approach to the distributive articles (6-21 of the OECD Model) by using the standard phrase "derived by" rather than the various phrases currently used such as "paid to" etc. The OECD was resistant to the suggestion as it potentially required changes to many articles in the treaty ( though it was pointed out the change could be delivered by a change to the definition rules in art 3 alone)
The Secretariat recognised the competent authority process needed to be improved.
8 May 2014
A 457-page consolidated document comprising 69 responses (including our own) on Hybrid Mismatch Arrangements ...
has been published by the OECD.
19 March 2014
The OECD has released two discussion draft papers on hybrid mismatch arrangements. Links to the press release and the papers:
If the recommendations are widely adopted they are likely to have a significant impact on multinational enterprises (MNEs). The OECD reports have a strong focus on intra-group financing, although other arrangements are not excluded. It is not surprising, given the scope of Action 2 of the OECD Action Plan, that the reports focus on the incidence of double non-taxation, and measures to combat such incidences. To ensure appropriate balance, it will be important that the OECD addresses the potential for double taxation which could, inadvertently or otherwise, arise as a consequence of the proposed changes.
The draft reports describe "hybrid mismatch arrangements" as being the result of a difference in the characterisation of an entity or arrangement under the laws of two or more tax jurisdictions that result in a mismatch in tax outcomes. The hybrid mismatch arrangements targeted in the reports are those that result in a lower aggregated tax burden for the parties involved. The OECD considers these arrangements to harm competition, economic efficiency, transparency and fairness.

21 February 2014
There has been much speculation about what will be in the OECD's proposed Discussion Draft of recommendations on tackling hybrid mismatches but dates …
have now been announced provisionally by the OECD for publication of the draft (4 April), the deadline for comments to be made to the OECD (4 May) and a public consultation meeting at the OECD (15-16 May).
2 September 2013
Various countries have in the past taken actions through domestic law provisions (eg Denmark, Germany, UK). These are likely to contribute to the …
design of what is considered best practice – and the OECD already has done detailed work in this area in identifying problems and possible solutions (see our bulletin on the OECD report on Hybrid Mismatch Arrangements of March 2012).
Hybrid instruments
Hybrid entities
26 July 2013
An interesting point of interest in this area is the extent to which the coherence of tax rules to produce a level playing field between MNCs and nationally-based entities …
has become a more important influence in some territories. MNCs should not, they suggest, have access to more sophisticated planning techniques than those entities operating solely within a domestic market. This line of argument clearly adds pressure for action against hybrids.
19 July 2013
As indicated in the Action Plan, the focus on hybrids is premised on the need to address gaps created by the interactions between domestic tax laws. The Plan states …
there is a need to create standards to establish international coherence in corporate income taxation. The action on hybrids in particular is explained by reference to the use of such instruments to achieve unintended double non-taxation or long-term tax deferral (e.g. by double deductions, or generating deductions without corresponding income inclusions).
The action point is multi-faceted and includes work on the Model Treaty and recommendations for domestic law change. Model Treaty provisions are to be developed to prevent undue benefits under treaties for such hybrid arrangements (presumably countering the ability of such instruments to access treaty withholding tax reductions) and various changes for domestic law are to be considered, primarily in relation to deductibility. The work on hybrids will be coordinated with the work on interest expense deduction limitations, CFCs and treaty shopping (see below). On hybrids in particular, the OECD presumably has a head start from its recent work culminating in its report on Hybrid Mismatch Arrangements, as discussed in our April 2012 Bulletin.
The Action Plan calls for recommendations in relation to the Model Treaty and domestic law to be completed within one year, by September 2014.

Here's a quick preview of last Saturday's wedding with Jennifer and John. The ceremony and reception were both at Texas Old Town which was an amazing venue to shoot at. The day turned out perfect, between a UT win (which everyone at the wedding was paying attention to) and great weather.
Lex says
Love it! (Although honestly, if I may, that first one is a touch creepy. Maybe it's the B&W.)
Chad Wright says
Haha! Ok, yeah, I could see that being a little creepy.🙂

- Directed by Dale Rosenbloom
===Story=== When a mistreated beagle pup follows 11-year-old Marty Preston (Blake Heron) home one day, it sparks a passion in the boy that leads him into a web of moral and emotional turmoil. Marty knows the dog belongs to his irascible neighbor, Judd Travers (a spittin' mean performance by Scott Wilson); he also knows Judd breaks local gaming laws and abuses his hounds. But Marty's father (Michael Moriarty) is a stickler for the first rule of pet ownership: he who owns the pet rules the pet. Marty seeks advice from the wise Doc Wallace (Rod Steiger), who tells the boy about his own struggle to claim legal guardianship over his granddaughter following her parents' death. The story inspires Marty to fight for the creature he has come to love. With a believable blend of nerve, conviction, and a hint of fear, Marty works every angle to beg, buy, or (finally) strike a trade with Travers to save Shiloh. While its pace runs a bit slow, the film provides a thoughtful lesson in weighing right and wrong and should appeal to families with children under 12. Based on the Newbery Award-winning book ''Shiloh'', by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. ''--Liane Thomas''

Searching for Sustainability: Strategies from Eight Digitized Special Collections
Date: November 2013
Creator: Maron, Nancy & Pickle, Sarah
Description: This report aims to address one of the biggest challenges facing libraries and cultural heritage organizations: how to move their special collections into the 21st century through digitization while developing successful strategies to make sure those collections remain accessible and relevant over time. Through a cooperative agreement as part of the National Leadership Grants Program, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funded the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), in partnership with Ithaka S+R, to undertake in-depth case studies of institutions that have worked to build the audience, infrastructure, and funding models necessary to maintain and grow their digital collections. The eight collections profiled provide useful models and examples of good practice for project leaders to consider when digitizing their own materials. We hope that these case studies will encourage greater discussion among individuals in the academic library and cultural heritage communities about the reasons why they invest so much time and energy in the creation and ongoing management of their digitized special collections, the goals they set for them, and the planning needed to realize those aims. These questions become even more pressing in an environment where the traditional sources of funding for digitization are beginning to wane. ...

Sustaining the Digital Humanities : Host Institution Support Beyond the Start-up Period
Date: June 18, 2014
Creator: Maron, Nancy L. & Pickle, Sarah
Description: As more and more scholars experiment with digital methods and with building digital collections, what measures are in place to make sure that the fruits of these labors are kept vital for the long term? Library directors and chief information officers sense that there is interest on the part of faculty, but does this mean they need to invest in a digital humanities center and hire new staff or just reconfigure the people and resources they already have? First and foremost, what does university leadership seek to gain from such an investment? This study seeks to address the fate of digital research resources - whether they be digital collections of scholarly or other materials, portals, encyclopedias, mapping tools, crowdsourced transcription projects, visualization tools, or other original and innovative projects that may be created by professors, library, or IT staff. Such projects have the potential to provide valuable tools and information to an international audience of learners. Without careful planning and execution, however, they can also all too easily slip between the cracks and quickly become obsolete.

Michael Bloomberg's large, sugary drink ban will start in NYC tomorrow.
But Bloomberg is facing some intense opposition from corporate giant Starbucks. The coffee chain said it would make no immediate changes to its business based on the ban.
Bloomberg told television show Face The Nation that Starbucks not changing its offerings is "ridiculous."
When interviewer Bob Schieffer pointed out that Starbucks wasn't changing its offerings because it was confused about which of its products would fall under the ban, Bloomberg retorted that the corporation should know better.

Virtual tools enrich student instruction
Using a virtual environment for instruction is a valuable tool that teachers and parents should embrace, not fear. For more than five years, I have been helping teachers across the region build and connect virtual environments in their classrooms. When a secure virtual tool is utilized appropriately, it enriches instruction and leads to a deeper level of understanding.
In my professional development sessions, we use a tool called OpenSim. Eight different schools have been trained and currently 13 teachers are using the tool in their classrooms. The project, which is aligned with Common Core standards, has helped students understand the complexity of the Holocaust by providing a companion experience to the classic book, "The Diary of a Young Girl," by Anne Frank. Using avatars, students experience the streets of Amsterdam in 1944, the secret annex and other surrounding areas that are detailed in the book. Personalizing and dressing an avatar is a very small piece of the project and some tools, like OpenSim, will only display shaded body features.
The teachers I have partnered with have reported an increase in student engagement, interest level and test score data. Earlier this year, Erie 1 BOCES was awarded a three-year $50,000 Learning Technology Grant by the New York State Education Department to continue its work with virtual environments.
As technology continues to evolve, educators and parents must evolve with it as partners. Students, as a rite of passage, will stretch and test the limits. That applies in all mediums, from books to computers. We must stand ready and willing to work together in building a new world, whether virtual or physical.

As I've made plain in the past, I'm a Disney fan and not at all ashamed of it.
Hi, my name is Allison Nugent-Caruso (I got married a few weeks ago) and I'm a Disney-holic.
As such, while I love most of the new films being turned out by the Disney Pixar machine, there's something so special about the older films.
Among the older films that hold a special place in my heart is "Mary Poppins." Seriously, what's not to love?
Deemed a classic family film, the story based on P.L. Travers' beloved character earned 13 Oscar nominations, winning five, including a Best Actress in a Leading Role statue for Julie Andrews.
Those who are interested in a trip down memory lane or who are interested in introducing their little ones to the magical nanny will have a chance to catch "Mary Poppins" on the big screen at 11 a.m. on Wednesday at The Terrace Theater.
Located at 1956 Maybank Highway, the showing of the film serves as the kick-off to their eighth year of presenting their classic family film series.
Admission to the movie is free for ages 10 years and younger, with all other tickets costing just $4. For more information, go to www.terracetheater.com.
Starlight Cinema
While not quite falling in the classic family film category, the film being shown at this week's Starlight Cinema at Freshfields Village is definitely family-friendly and definitely entertaining.
"Despicable Me 2" brings back ex-scheming evildoer-turned-parental figure Gru and his three adopted daughters to face a new foe in this sequel to the wildly successful 2010 animated picture. And again stealing the show are the Minions.
Also showing on Wednesday, the free outdoor movie series begins at 8:30 p.m. on the Village Green. Attendees are encouraged to bring a beach chair or blanket.
Freshfields Village is at the crossroads of Kiawah, Seabrook and Johns islands. For more information, go to www.FreshfieldsVillage.com.
Music on the Green
Another event taking place at Freshfields Village, this one on Friday, is the annual Music on the Green concert series.
From 6-9 p.m., enjoy live music by Shelly Waters, a Louisiana native who brings her Cajun country and swamp pop sound to the Lowcountry at a variety of events, including this year's Lowcountry Cajun Festival in April.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Attendees are encouraged to bring a beach chair or blanket.
Party at the Point
Billed as Charleston's "premier happy hour concert series," the long-running annual summer concert series Party at the Point continues its 14th season Friday.
Held at the Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina, 20 Patriots Point Road in Mount Pleasant, gates open at 5:30 p.m. with bands playing from 6:30-9:30 p.m.
Tickets are $5-$7. Free on-street parking is available, as is valet parking for $5. The event features $2 drafts while they last as well as a variety of food, including hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and fish tacos.
This week's concert will feature two Charleston-based favorites: Sol Driven Train and Fowlers Mustache.
For more, go to www.CharlestonPartyatthePoint.com.
Party in the Park
After kicking off its month-long series earlier this week, Party in the Park returns on Tuesday with another show.
Presented by the town of Mount Pleasant, WEZL 103.5 FM and Colonial Life, the series features a free show every week in the month of June following the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market at the Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park.
An official after-party will be held each Tuesday at Red's Ice House on Shem Creek.
This week's concert will feature Eric Pasley and The Swon Brothers.
Music will start at 6 p.m. at the rain-or-shine event. In addition to the tunes, Party in the Park will feature food and beer vendors.
Lawn chairs and blankets are permitted, but organizers ask that dogs, coolers, umbrellas and tents be left at home.

BOSTON -- The matchup between the top two teams in the Eastern Conference didn't disappoint as the Boston Bruins defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 in overtime Monday night at TD Garden.
Torey Krug scored the winning goal only 34 seconds into the extra period. It was his seventh goal of the season.
It appeared the Bruins would win in regulation, but the Penguins' Sidney Crosby scored with three-tenths of a second remaining in the third period to tie the game at 3-3 and force overtime.
The Bruins also received goals from Loui Eriksson, Reilly Smith and Zdeno Chara while goaltender Tuukka Rask made 28 saves to earn the victory.
James Neal scored a pair of goals for the Penguins.
Entering Monday's game, Pittsburgh had won seven consecutive regular-season games, but the Bruins boasted a four-game sweep in the conference finals last spring.
The Penguins dominated the first 10 minutes of the opening period, and if Rask wasn't on top of his game, Pittsburgh easily could have had at least a two-goal lead. Fortunately for Boston, it caught a few bounces and quickly took over momentum and finished the first period with a 2-0 lead.
Eriksson notched his fifth goal of the season at 12:27 of the period to give Boston a 1-0 lead. Carl Soderberg gained control of the puck in the neutral zone and took it into the offensive zone before dishing to Eriksson. The pass was a bit behind the streaking forward, who made a nifty move by passing it to himself through the legs before beating Marc-Andre Fleury to the five-hole with a backhander.
Soderberg's contributions continued. He drew a penalty at 15:34 of the first to give Boston its first man advantage of the game, and the Bruins quickly capitalized when Smith scored at 15:43 for a 2-0 lead. Soderberg had the puck in the corner when Smith broke for the net before connecting on his fifth goal of the season.
It didn't take long for the Penguins to cut their deficit at the start of the second period. Neal scored his first of the game when he was all alone in the high slot, received the pass and beat Rask only 37 seconds into the period.
Neal notched his second of the night to tie the game at 2-2 at 11:09 of the third period. His one-timer from the left face-off dot beat Rask to the high glove side.
Chara scored his fifth of the season at 14:45 of the third period. His shot from the right point found its way through traffic and beat Fleury to give Boston a 3-2 advantage.
With their goalie pulled for the extra attacker, the Penguins tied it with three-tenths of a second remaining in regulation when Crosby knocked the loose puck past Rask.
With the win, Boston has 34 points to remain atop the Eastern Conference standings. The Bruins are 4-0-1 in their past five games.
Up next: The rest of the week for the Bruins is interesting. They'll travel to Detroit to face the Red Wings on Wednesday night at Joe Louis Arena before hosting the New York Rangers at 1 p.m. Friday at TD Garden. Boston will then host the Columbus Blue Jackets at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
