Solar Power Expands Across the West: Potential Development Impacts and How to Respond/
by Scott Harmstead, AICP, Bismark, North Dakota
While many Western planners already deal with land use regulation for utility-scale solar power facilities, there remain areas in the West where solar has yet to become an important component of utility-solar power generation. Using first-hand experience in the public and private sectors, the article highlights common impacts encountered in regulating utility-scale solar power facilities and offers solutions.
Continued Expansion in the West
Many planning practitioners across the West know about utility-scale solar facilities. Many have dealt with solar facility regulation in local plans and codes. However, there are areas in the West that remain relatively untouched by the solar frenzy that began almost a decade ago in states like Nevada, Arizona, and California. Other states that may have plentiful sun still rely on other cheap and plentiful energy sources - such as coal, wind, or natural gas. Examples of these states include Wyoming, North Dakota, and Montana. However, regulatory changes and economics are starting to make solar facilities become likely players in wind and fossil fuel-rich states.
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Power Plan rule allows states different options to meet new carbon emission rate goals—some of these options include the addition of renewable power sources - such as solar power. The other, much bigger factor driving a wider interest in solar is the drop in prices. According to the U.S. Department of Energy,1 utility ground-mounted solar facility prices fell 16-19 percent per year between 2009 and 2013. As shown in Figure 1 below, the fall in prices is expected to continue over the long term.
Utility-Scale Solar
Generally, there are two types of utility-scale solar facilities that produce power on a large scale straight into the grid. Concentrated solar power (CSP) utilizes a system of lenses or mirrors and a unified tracking system to focus sunlight into a beam. The concentrated heat created by the mirrors are used to heat a medium, such as water or oil that in turn works a generator to create power. A recent example is the Invanpah Solar Electric Generating facility in California, with a generating capacity of 377 megawatts.2 The other more common type is photovoltaic (PV). PVs utilize solar cells to convert light into energy. Unlike concentrated solar power, a medium such as water is not necessary. PVs are the more common type of solar power system in use today for both utility-scale use and residential or commercial use. Utility-scale PV facilities are the subject of this article.
Impacts of Utility-Scale PV Facilities
Issue: Aesthetics
Solar facilities most resemble an industrial use. Rows of metal and glass are typically not appropriate within the corridor of a scenic highway. If located adjacent to an existing residential area, the neighbors may not think too highly of a project that converts what may have been open greenery into walls of metal and glass surrounded by chain link fence.
The Solution
The first contact with a potential applicant should convey the importance of siting a utility-scale solar facility. The best way to minimize aesthetic impacts is to minimize the chance solar facilities will be seen by the public. That means siting in deserted areas, areas that already look degraded or industrial in nature, and areas away from scenic highways—in other words places where the public will not notice the change to the aesthetic environment. If the applicant is resolute in placing a solar facility adjacent to residences or a scenic route, the next step would be to consider screening. Given the rural setting of most solar facilities, vegetative screening is usually most preferred given the surrounding character. The problem, of course, is the time it takes for the vegetation to grow up and screen the facility. In the end, screening can never completely eliminate the visual impact—once open fields and unimpeded viewsheds will be changed.
Issue: Glare
Photovoltaic panels are designed to absorb sunlight, not reflect it. PV solar facilities are increasingly utilizing tracking bases to make sure the PV cells are always oriented to absorb sunlight at the most optimal angles. The panels are typically angled upwards toward the sun, usually in a direction away from motorists or building windows. Reflectivity can be measured by albedo, which varies between 0 (no light reflected) and 1 (a mirror-like surface). Solar panels with at least one layer of anti-reflective coating (most panels are designed with at least one layer) have a reflectivity of around 0.10. Compare this to agricultural vegetation, which has an albedo between 0.18 and 0.25. One environmental assessment notes that aircraft flying over an array near an airport "may momentarily experience direct glare from the solar array, but the reflection intensity from the panels is only half compared to agricultural vegetation."3 Environmental assessments already approved for PV solar facilities are a good resource to find factual information on the impacts of glare.
The Solution
The solution for the issue of glare with PV solar facilities is education. Facts about glare should be presented by staff as objectively as possible, utilizing studies and other documentation already performed through existing environmental assessments and other trustworthy sources.
Issue: Wildlife
Sometimes, what looks like vacant, sparse land could be valuable habitat for a number of species of wildlife. The Invanpah Solar Facility displaced desert tortoise habitat in California and involved the relocation of tortoises from the project area to another location.4 However, impacts to wildlife are not always as clear-cut as a direct loss of habitat. Even projects located adjacent to certain types of habitat can have a potential impact on wildlife. For example, regarding another project in California, an environmental group commented that a project located on agricultural land adjacent to a riparian area would have an impact upon an endangered hawk.5 The agricultural land, where the project was proposed, was claimed to supply valuable foraging habitat for the hawk. The passage of wildlife can be a concern—utility-scale solar facilities are typically fenced for security reasons. Unfortunately, a fenced site, especially of the large size common to many solar facilities (about 10 acres per megawatt), can become a major obstacle to wildlife and would impact foraging wildlife similarly as if the entire fenced site were a large building.
The Solution
Here is another impact where siting can help immensely. Identify a proposal's proximity to critical habitat areas early. Do not simply verify if there may be direct impacts to critical habitat, but also evaluate the project's proximity to critical habitat and potential impact to foraging opportunities and the general passage of wildlife from one habitat area to another. Just because a project is located on land that has been in agricultural production for decades does not mean the project will be free of impacts to wildlife. Habitat and foraging area information can be gathered from a number of sources and may require some outreach on the planner's part. Important sources to reach out to include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the state's wildlife agency. Areas with other development pressures may have helpful documents, such as Habitat Conservation Plans, project-specific biological assessments, and related documentation that will help identify critical habitat areas and wildlife behavior.
Issue: Farmland
Coincidentally, both utility-scale solar facilities and farmland operate best on relatively level, open ground. Many places that are ideal for utility-scale solar facilities are utilized as active farmland. In many places, viable farmland is at a premium. Across the West, viable farmland may include areas with access to irrigation and/or areas that include U.S. Department of Agriculture designated prime or unique farmland.
The Solution
Once again, siting is important to protect exceptional farmland. Even though utility-scale solar facilities should be accompanied with reclamation plans that ensure the land is returned to its natural or previous state after the life of the solar facility, exceptional farmland is at a premium in many places and protection should be considered from solar facility development. A mapping analysis to identify prime and unique farmlands, or even viable farm areas with access to irrigation, helps in this instance to avoid important agricultural areas with a high productive capacity.
The Solution is in Siting
If possible, set siting standards early, before applicants come to the permit counter. Be proactive by identifying the following critical elements through a GIS mapping analysis:
- Existing and planned transmission corridors capable of supporting utility-scale power generation
- Prime, unique and other valuable farmlands that are particularly important to the community or region
- Critical habitat areas and important foraging and migration areas
- Scenic highway corridors
- Areas with existing residential development
- Areas planned for other types of development in existing local plans
- Known areas of historical or cultural importance
To assist in this effort, reach out to state and federal agencies for input and information. As constrained areas are identified, areas available for utility-solar facilities become apparent. Developers will appreciate such guidance by giving them certainty and requiring less leg-work in finding areas acceptable for solar development.
Implementation Tools
Once constrained areas have been mapped, update the comprehensive plan and amend the ordinance/code to protect those areas. Areas of solar power opportunity may be translated into a mapped overlay zoning district. Many communities have utilized this approach in a number of ways. Massachusetts has a widely utilized model zone for utility-scale solar6 that can be utilized as an overlay zone in local jurisdictions. The State of Washington passed Senate Bill 5107 in 2009 to encourage local jurisdictions to create local overlay zones that provide suitable solar sites with available infrastructure and also protect environmentally sensitive areas.7 Klickitat County in south-central Washington conducted a detailed environmental analysis8 prior to establishing their own energy overlay zone that involves solar, gas-fired, biomass, and wind power. Areas covered by an overlay zone may allow solar projects by right, subject to a number of standards - such as a reclamation plan, setback provisions, or operation and maintenance provisions (in addition to compliance with state and federal requirements). The University of Arizona recently developed a statewide suitability analysis for utility-scale solar facilities for planners, as described in the Dec. 2014-Jan. 2015 issue of The Western Planner. An interactive Arizona map of low to highly suitable areas can be found at http://reoa.uagist.com.
Alternatively, solar projects may be allowed on a project-by-project basis. In this case, the areas mapped as constrained would be referenced in the ordinance language and utilized when evaluating the placement of each development proposal. In such instances, a conditional use permit may be utilized, or an individual overlay zone application. In either case, the application should come with standards to ensure environmental protections, reclamation, and other concerns are taken into account.
During a recent zoning ordinance update meeting in Beulah, North Dakota, utility-scale solar power was identified by a local engineer as a very likely future land use. Ironically, Beulah is a city economically dependent upon coal mining and energy production. This comment from a coal town was a result of the EPA's recent Clean Power Plan—a new federal rule that may be opening the door to solar power in states across the west that have yet to experience utility-scale solar facility development. With solar development set to expand, it will be imperative for local planners to understand the full spectrum of impacts and be prepared to thoughtfully regulate solar facilities.

I Am Making Runic Cards Set
I started this project year ago after one amazing concert of the band Wardruna. This was my "kick in the ass" start this journey. For me it`s spiritual and personal experience but I believe that the people can feel this too as personal for themselves. My major inspiration is the music of Wardruna and the nordic rune poems. I am making lots of research before I start draw the runic illustration. Each runic illustration cost me sleepless nights and all day concentration but after this the pleasure of the finished work is great and I feel satisfied. During the process I am feeling and thinking about the concrete rune and learning. I think this experience must be shared with the world and maybe someone somewhere will feel the meaning of this symbols.
Let me explain what are the runes. Runo), Old Norse: rún) are the letters in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets, which were used to write various Germanic languages before the adoption of the Latin alphabet and for specialised purposes thereafter. The Scandinavian variants are also known as futhark or fuþark (derived from their first six letters of the alphabet: F, U, Þ, A, R, and K); the Anglo-Saxon variant is futhorc or fuþorc (due to sound changes undergone in Old English by the names of those six letters).
In Norse mythology, the runic alphabet is attested to a divine origin (Old Norse: reginkunnr). This is attested as early as on the Noleby Runestone from approximately 600 AD that reads Runo fahi raginakundo toj[e'k]a..., meaning "I prepare the suitable divine rune..."[28] and in an attestation from the 9th century on the Sparlösa Runestone, which reads Ok rað runaʀ þaʀ rægi[n]kundu, meaning "And interpret the runes of divine origin".[29] More notably, in the Poetic Edda poem Hávamál, Stanza 80, the runes also are described as reginkunnr.
The poem Hávamál explains that the originator of the runes was the major deity, Odin. Stanza 138 describes how Odin received the runes through self-sacrifice:
I know that I hung on a windy tree
nine long nights,
wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin,
myself to myself,
on that tree of which no man knows from where its roots run.
No bread did they give me nor a drink from a horn,
downwards I peered;
I took up the runes,
screaming I took them,
then I fell back from there.
This passage has been interpreted as a mythical representation of shamanic initial rituals in which the initiate must undergo a physical trial in order to receive mystic wisdom.
So this runes can be used for divining , fortunetelling and meditating.
For the creating of this images first I am drawing a sketch on paper with pen and then I am starting the "magic" photoshop.

"Free Memory" Review
Have you ever been frustrated because you want to play one of your iPhone games, but the app keeps crashing? Then you get even more frustrated when your realize you'll have to restart the device in order to clear up memory? (A process which takes 2+ minutes!). Well, I have found a solution. I was browsing the app store yesterday, and I came across this little gem. Its called "Free Memory 1.2", and it does just as the name implies. Whenever you find yourself in the situation described above, just open up "Free Memory", and you will see a very simple screen (screen shot shown at the right). It will show you how much memory is left. If the amount left is above 20MB, it won't let you free it up. But if its below that, it will clear it out in a few seconds.
The App's Description:
Ever wondered why some of your iPhone or iPod Touch applications suddenly quit?
Wondered why sometimes Safari quits while you are browsing a web site?
Could it be that your iPhone or iPod Touch is running low on runtime memory?
Now, you can free up 20 MB of memory to make it available for applications.
The iPhone comes with 128MB of runtime memory. Native iPhone applications such as the iPhone dialer and iPod can remain running even though you have closed them.
This leaves any remaining memory available to non-native iPhone applications. This remaining memory can change and can affect the performance of non-native iPhone applications, sometimes even causing the applications to close unexpectedly.
Use Free Memory to free up 20 MB of runtime memory!
After using it for a day or so, I can say that it works very well. If I plan to play a memory heavy game such as X-Plane, I just open Free Memory first and clear up the memory. That way I know that X-Plane won't have any issues with crashing (the same goes for any other "big" game; such as SimCity).
One thing the developer notes in the description of Free Memory is this:
For users of iPhone/iPod Touch 2.2 software that have less than 4 MB available, freeing memory may take about 1-2 minutes, or it may cause a soft reset.
I think this is a very usefull app, and one that many people will appreciate. I give it 5 stars out of 5.
Free Memory is available for $0.99 in the App Store. [iTunes Link]

As loving and caring parents, we naturally want to help our children feel better when the inevitable fevers, colds, and illnesses arise. Many of us will reach for popular over-the-counter remedies to suppress fever and alleviate symptoms, in the belief that these products are reliable. Yet, it is important to recognize that by suppressing fever, we are suppressing a critical immune response—one that has a necessary function in fighting illness.
I can attest to the enormous fear that fever provokes in parents. By far, the greatest number of after-hours telephone calls are questions regarding the "management" of fever with drugs. Undue attention to a child's temperature and mishandling of fevers generate a great deal of unwarranted parental anxiety, avoidable medical complications, and countless calls and costly visits to doctors and emergency rooms. As long as we remain captive to the medical myth that nature made a mistake in causing a fever during illness, our children will be put at risk.
Yes, fever can be uncomfortable. A child with a high fever will often seem irritable, lethargic, glassy eyed, and listless. This alerts you that the body is mobilizing defense against disease and you, in turn, must care for your child in the most appropriate way: encouraging rest and fluids. On the other hand, there may be no reason to treat even a high fever if your child seems happy, active and alert.
The pervasive belief that fever is dangerous and must be suppressed disregards the scientific evidence demonstrating its beneficial role in inflammatory diseases. The immune system depends on the fever to accomplish myriad tasks when gearing up to fight infections.
"Fever phobia" is made worse by hearing myths about children being severely harmed by having a high fever. Many people know of children or adults who had a high fever and ended up with some sort of injury…brain damage or hearing loss. These problems are never caused by fever. The likely explanation is that they had a serious illness that gave them a fever, but it was the illness that caused the brain damage or other result. The fever was only the body's attempt to fight the infection.
"Doctors do a great disservice to you and your child when they prescribe drugs to reduce fever," writes Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, pediatrician and author of How to Raise a Healthy Child In Spite of Your Doctor. "Fever phobia is a disease of pediatricians, not parents, and to the extent that parents are victimized by it, doctors are at fault." Parents are left to fear that their child's temperature will keep rising unless measures are taken to control it. Yet, reducing the child's temperature will do nothing to make the child well, and our bodies have a built-in mechanism that will prevent an infection-induced temperature from reaching dangerous levels. Mendelsohn emphasizes that "only in the case of heatstroke, poisoning, or other externally caused fevers is this body mechanism overwhelmed and inoperative."
"Fever: Your Body's Defense Against Disease" is the title of Chapter 7 in Dr. Mendelsohn's book, an excellent resource for parents seeking a balanced and accurate perspective of the beneficial role of fevers in childhood. Dr. Mendelsohn condemns the useless and dangerous practice of fever suppression through drugs, and counters the myth that high fever causes seizures. "Many parents are fearful of fevers because they have witnessed a convulsive seizure and believe their child may experience one if the body temperature is allowed to rise too high. High fevers do not cause convulsions. They result when the temperature rises at an extremely rapid rate and are relatively uncommon." Only a small percentage of children with high fever experience convulsions, and those who do suffer them do not have any aftereffects. Simple febrile seizures are self-limited and harmless, although they are one of the most frightening things that a parent can witness.

Since being at UCLA the way I view summer has changed drastically. When I was in grade school I anxiously waited for summer vacation because it meant more time to hang out with friends and less time spent on homework. Now, I have mixed feelings about summer. One one hand I love it! The weather is nice, I have no homework, and can explore LA. On the other hand, it can be an interesting time of transition.
This is my second summer spent in LA. While I have thoroughly enjoyed both of my summers, I always look forward to the end of the summer because it means all of my friends will be returning to UCLA. It is at the end of summer that I will finally be reunited with my friends who went home for the summer or went overseas. This summer I had friends in Japan, Italy, Bolivia, Hawaii, and various other locations. During the school year we all have homework and clubs and work, but we always find ways to hang out…even if that just means studying in the same location. We also always make sure find times for our "family dinners" when we get together and cook dinner together- some of our more ambitious meals have been jambalaya, shepherd's pie, and bacon fried rice! The start of the school year means the start of a new year with my friends. Some of my favorite times at UCLA have been the few days before classes start when my friends and I can swap summer stories without the burden of school work.
Does this mean that summer is depressing and lonely? By no means! The summer after my first year I was in Ft. Collins, CO on a trip. After my second and third years I was in LA and enjoyed getting to know people in a different setting. Between my friends, my friends' friends, and subleasers in apartments both of these LA summers have been eclectic in terms of community. I have had some wonderful adventures and made many new friends.
But summer is a transition. At the beginning of summer I moved into a new apartment and in a week two of my roommates are moving out to start living in "the real world". While I am going to miss them so much, I am excited for the new beginnings that they are getting ready to face. We celebrated the end of summer and their finding jobs last night by making homemade enchiladas and playing apples to apples…and talking about Miley Cyrus at the VMAs!
Every ending is a new beginning and I cannot wait to see what this new chapter holds.

Ask, answer and talk about our products
TPG has caused numerous problems for me, the main one is it randomly disconnecting during the day up to 5 times. I play online games and these consistant disconnects have ruined my experience. The wifi logo has a yellow sign next to it and the wifi doesn't work until around 5-10minutes. The next problem is sometimes my ping just spikes to a level of unplayable. This happens far to often almost every game I'm thinking about changing plans to Optus or Dodo as this has become a real problem to me.
Hi @michael18,
Welcome to the community!
We have a thread about how to improve Wi-Fi connection. Located here.
Let me know how it will go, cheers!

The Green Room: The Ann Arbor Area's 1,4 Dioxane Plume-Part24 By Barbara Lucas • Oct 21, 2016 Barbara Lucas / 89.1 WEMU As concern rises and detection methods improve, 1,4-Dioxane is being discovered in water sources across the country. Central to formulating remediation plans is determination of the safe level of exposure to this probable human carcinogen. What constitutes a true hazard as opposed to an "acceptable risk?" Barbara Lucas goes in search of the answer in this 24th installment in our series on the Ann Arbor area's 1.4 Dioxane Plume in "The Green Room."

That source is the old Gelman Sciences facility on Wagner Road in Scio Township. Other area's of dioxane contamination around the country, such as the KL Avenue Landfill in Kalamazoo, have many "Responsible Parties" contributing to the contamination problem. Even with a single source, assigning responsibility for clean-up remains complicated in Ann Arbor. In this installment of "The Green Room" we try to untangle the confusing web of who is who when it comes to liability.

Title: Blood of the Demon
Author: Diana Rowland
Series: Kara Gillian Series, book 2
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Publisher: Bantam
Format: E-book
* Warning: This review contains spoilers from book 1, Mark of the Demon *
Welcome to the world of Kara Gillian, a cop with a gift. Not only does she have the power of "othersight" to see what most people can't even imagine, but she's become the exclusive summoner of a demon lord. Or maybe it's the other way around. The fact is, with two troublesome cases on her docket and a handsome FBI agent under her skin, Kara needs the help of sexy, insatiable Lord Rhyzkahl more than he needs her. Because these two victims, linked by suspicious coincidence, haven't just been murdered. Something has eaten their souls. It's a case with roots in the arcane, but whose evil has flowered among the rich, powerful, and corrupt in Beaulac, Louisiana. And as the killings continue, Kara soon realizes how much there's still to learn about demons, men, and things that kill in the night—and how little time she has to learn it."
Blood of the Demon is the second book in the Kara Gillian Series by Diana Rowland.
Beaulac Police Detective Kara Gillian, is back to work after being on medical leave for a month, due to the aftermath of the events in Mark of the Demon. She is not just recovering physically but emotionally. Her aunt Tessa is still in a vegetative state after missing her essence or soul, and there is little hope she will ever recover.
Kara is investigating a series of suspicious deaths, in which the "essence" of the different persons has been ripped violently from their bodies.
Kara knows some lower level demons eat the essence of animals, but she had never heard of that been done to humans. Whatever or whoever it's doing it, it has to be a very strong being.
Agents Ryan Kristoff and Zack Garner are relocated to the new FBI office in Beaulac and are also investigating a case that is crossing paths with Kara's case.
Kara is at lost with this case. She needs help, and the only source that could help her with the information she requires is Lord Rhyzkahl. But he wants something in return. He wants her to be his summoner in exchange for the information. Kara is not so sure of the implications this will have. She needs to think about it. It's a great opportunity to learn from him. But she also needs to consider her attraction towards him. She knows he is a Demon Lord and there must be something else he is not telling her.
Kara and Ryan's relationship starts to develop a little bit, but when he learns Kara has summoned Rhyzkahl again for answers and also learns about Kara and Rhyzkahl's previous encounter he goes ballistic, hurting Kara's feelings in the way. Now their friendship is not as it was before; things between them are stained, and on top of all, Kara discovers Ryan has been keeping secrets from her. Making her decisions even more complicated.
Kara is a great heroine, she is strong, smart, funny and capable. She knows she is not all powerful and when she needs help she asks for it (usually). Furthermore she is willing to do whatever is necessary to protect those she cares for.
I also like that she has flaws and insecurities making her more real and easier to connect with.
Ryan is still a "don't know" for me. I go from I like him to I don't like him from page to page. I don't like that he hides things from Kara. He may have his reasons but I think is selfish of him to want to know everything about Kara while he is not sharing his "real self" with her.
I know I shouldn't root for the demon but in this case I am. I really like Lord Rhyzkahl. He may be vague with his answers but he cares for Kara, he has proved it in many occasions. It's also clear he is attracted to Kara, and in his way he has been there for her when she had needed him.
Of course there is more to him, he is a very intricate being, and it's in his nature as a Lord Demon. But I don't think (hope) nothing bad will come to Kara from him.
My final thought: Blood of the Demon it's a fast paced book, with rich and delightful characters. There is sexual tension and sizzling pages. The world is unique and exciting. The plot has nice and well elaborated mystery and police elements. All in all, this book is a great addition to a great series.
In Blood of the Demon Mrs. Rowland created magic with words that would let you begging for more.
As I said in my review of Mark of the Demon this series had become one of my favorite Urban Fantasy series and if you are a lover of this genre you need to pick up this books, like, Now!
This book can be a stand-alone book but I won't recommend doing that. There is a nice back-story and a great book that you would be missing if you do that.
My Verdict: 5 Paws

With incomes rising, particularly among the wealthy, Americans are paying a lot more in federal taxes than they did before the economic expansion of the last decade. Not so, American corporations. Their profits are growing even faster than Americans' incomes, yet the taxes they pay have peaked and have begun to fall.
The changes have been striking. Almost 15 cents of every dollar of income earned by Americans in 1997, the latest year for which figures are available, went to the Internal Revenue Service, up from 13 cents in 1990. By contrast, taxes paid by companies on profits reported to the I.R.S. fell to 20 cents on the dollar in 1997, from 26 cents on the dollar in 1990.
A number of factors explain why the corporate tax burden has fallen, from the legitimate use of various tax credits to the deduction of the cost of stock options exercised by employees. But the most troubling factor is the rapid spread of tax shelters, especially among large corporations, according not only to experts at the Treasury and I.R.S., but to some corporations and law firms that serve them.
Some of these tactics have been found to be illegal tax dodges. Others, many of them novel arrangements, have not been tested in the courts but are raising eyebrows.
''Corporate tax shelters are our No. 1 problem'' in enforcing the tax laws, Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers said in an interview, ''not just because they cost money but because they breed disrespect for the tax system.''Continue reading the main story
What particularly alarms I.R.S. and Treasury officials is what they call a growing willingness by prominent companies that are well known for guarding their public image to engage in the kind of tax avoidance tactics more characteristic of the most disreputable companies.
Among the companies that have been found to have engaged in what the courts called shams are Colgate-Palmolive, Compaq Computer and United Parcel Service. For example, the Tax Court found last year that U.P.S. engaged in a long-running sham to evade more than $1 billion in taxes.
''There is a race for the bottom,'' said Jonathan Talisman, acting deputy Treasury secretary for tax policy.
Compaq did not return calls seeking comment; Colgate-Palmolive declined to comment, and United Parcel Service, in a statement, said it was ''deeply offended'' that government officials ''would even begin to equate'' its tax case with evasion or impropriety.
The tactics have become widespread enough that even corporate tax lawyers are quietly alerting the I.R.S. about tax shelters they think cross the line from legitimate tax planning into illegal schemes. The New York State Bar Association's tax section, a leading organization of corporate tax lawyers, said last year that tax shelters were a growing problem and called for new legislation to combat them.
Such tax shelters differ from legitimate ones because they use accounting gimmicks intended solely to lower tax liabilities and have no legitimate business purpose. In one typical example, a company that owes taxes forms a partnership with a business, often one abroad, that for various reasons does not owe any taxes. The company then shifts its profits to the other business's books, reducing its own profits, and later takes back the money in ways that do not count as profits. Many big accounting firms and Wall Street investment houses help arrange such deals for a fee.
In one current case involving AlliedSignal, the big automotive and aerospace company that was acquired last year by Honeywell, a substantial tax bill was wiped out. In that deal, AlliedSignal sold its investment in a Texas petroleum company at a profit of more than $400 million. The company would have owed more than $140 million in taxes on the profit. But, following a plan devised by Merrill Lynch, the company shifted the profit to a partnership created with a Dutch bank. AlliedSignal later took back the profit from the partnership, untaxed, and even reported a $4 million profit from the investment in the partnership.
The Tax Court disallowed the deal as having no purpose other than avoiding taxes, and an appeals court upheld that decision this month. Honeywell said in a statement that its policy was to comply with all applicable tax laws and pay all taxes properly due.
Deals like this one, which are revealed by I.R.S. audits, have repeatedly been labeled illegitimate by the courts. But the I.R.S. may find fewer than one such deal in 10 and its auditing resources have been shrinking.
That apparently is emboldening some companies to play ''audit roulette,'' said Larry Langdon, commissioner of the I.R.S. large and midsize business division and former tax director at Hewlett-Packard.
Last year, the amount of income taxes paid by corporations fell 2.5 percent from 1998, government finance records show, while individual income tax revenue surged 6.2 percent.
The amount of taxes paid by individuals has been growing quickly in recent years, even faster than the growth in incomes, because more people are moving into higher tax brackets, where they pay in taxes a larger percentage of each extra dollar of income. (The top tax bracket is 39.6 percent.)
Individual incomes were 131 percent higher in 1997 than in 1990, while taxes were 164 percent higher.
But that is not the case for corporations, which have a tax rate of 35 cents on every dollar. Corporate profits reported to the I.R.S. were 252 percent higher in 1997 than in 1990, but taxes rose just 191 percent.
An additional factor is lowering corporate income taxes. A Treasury Department analysis of tax returns filed by large companies found that each year from 1991 to 1996 a shrinking portion of profits reported to shareholders was reported to the I.R.S. as taxable income. This year less than 70 cents of each dollar of profit reported by companies to shareholders will be reported to the I.R.S. as taxable, down from 91 cents in 1990, Internal Revenue Service officials say.
Because of these trends, in 1997 alone, companies paid $60 billion less in income taxes than they would have if they had paid taxes at the same rate as in 1990. But individuals paid $80 billion more.
Much of the reduction for companies is legitimate. For one thing, companies report profits differently to shareholders and to the I.R.S. And some of the reduction can be attributed to a growth in tax credits taken for investing in new buildings and equipment, among other things. Also, as stock options proliferate and are exercised, companies can subtract the cost from their profits reported to the I.R.S., even though they can ignore that cost and report higher profits to shareholders.
But it is widely agreed that such factors explain only part of the drop in the corporate tax burden.
Abusive corporate tax shelters, Mr. Summers estimated, cost the government more than $10 billion a year, a figure Treasury officials call conservative. They suspect the number is much larger.
It is not just the fact that tax shelters are being created faster than dot-coms on the Internet that worries Mr. Langdon and others, it is which companies are embracing them. ''You can divide the corporate world into white hats, gray hats and black hats,'' Mr. Langdon said.
He said the black hats had long taken aggressive postures on tax matters, pursuing schemes that white-hat companies would reject.
What alarms I.R.S. and Treasury officials is the willingness of the white-hat companies to match this conduct ''because the payoff to shareholders is sufficient to make the risk to their public image worth it or because their shareholders will say, hey, everybody else is doing it, you should do it, too.''
Mr. Langdon said the tax shelters arranged by accounting firms including PricewaterhouseCoopers, investment houses including Merrill Lynch, and others go so far beyond lawful exploitation of loopholes that he and other I.R.S. officials are considering calling on the chief executives of these and other companies to tell them that they consider the conduct of the companies out of line.
PricewaterhouseCoopers, asked for comment, did not issue a statement. Merrill Lynch said in a statement, ''These transactions were carefully reviewed at the time by prominent outside tax counsel and accountants, all of whom gave opinions that they were proper and appropriate.''
Mr. Summers is proposing a law that would require early disclosure of tax shelters and a 25 percent excise tax on their promoters and buyers. The tax lawyers section of the New York State Bar Association supports requiring greater disclosure and other steps.
But Mr. Summers's proposal has received a cold reception on Capitol Hill. Last week Representative Dick Armey, Republican of Texas, taking note of his long experience with tax legislation, said that in the Treasury secretary's proposal, ''There is a sort of an implicit indictment of the corporation for doing something, as it were, unethical or perhaps even illegal or maybe immoral, but the fact of the matter is we write the Tax Code, and any corporation ought to do what they can to minimize that cost on behalf of their shareholders.''
But some tax shelters should not be confused with legitimate tax breaks, said Christopher Bergin, editor of the journal Tax Notes. They ''cross the line and are pure and simple theft.''
Nevertheless, corporations feel confident in proceeding with such deals because their lawyers say the deals are legal, and also because the I.R.S. does not have the resources to challenge many of them in Tax Court.
The Financial Executives Institute, a group of senior finance and tax officials at large companies, says that there is no problem that merits a new law as proposed by Mr. Summers.
Mr. Langdon said that in the last decade he had seen a disturbing shift in attitudes by corporate executives as to how aggressive to be in avoiding taxes. ''The tax department is viewed more as a profit center and a place that has more of an obligation to more or less aggressively reduce the tax burden,'' he said. ''Most companies used to worry about their image. When I was at Hewlett-Packard and we looked at one of these deals, my boss would say, 'I want you to write the article that you imagine that The New York Times or Wall Street Journal would run if they find out about this and if the article passes muster we will consider doing the thing.' The deals that couldn't pass that muster were not done.''
Now, he said, corporate finance and tax officials are under such pressure to increase profits that image is hardly a consideration in whether to cheat on taxes. ''Most chief financial officers these days are more afraid of the Securities and Exchange Commission than the I.R.S., because more of them have lost their jobs for violating S.E.C. rules than I.R.S. rules.''Continue reading the main story

I've created a form but it isn't saving data to re-use later. When I get the email and go to the link the form is blank again. I've checked it and tested it but I can't work out what I'm doing wrong
I tried following this article
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on November 14, 2012 at 07:53 PM
Hi Dean,
Are you perhaps trying to make this feature work on this form http://www.jotform.com/23178048602856 of yours? Please tell us which form instead if not this one.
On the first look of this form, i believed the session trick will not work because it requires the main form to have a Page break field -- this form is having a collapse field instead. Page break field and collapse field do not work together on the same form (this is a known glitch)
Will await for your updated response.
- deanmcrabbAnswered on November 14, 2012 at 08:03 PM
Yes, that is the correct form.
Question 1 - If I add a page break, will this work then at all?
Question 2 - Any ETA for the glitch to be fixed?
Question 3 - Okay, thinking laterally, if I make this whole form with page breaks then instead of collapses, is there some form of pagination I can put across the top of all form pages to shows the use which page they are on. Such as "1. Mailchimp >> 2. Ecwid >> etc"
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on November 14, 2012 at 08:12 PM
There is no ETA yet for the fix on the conflict glitch between those 2 fields. We can only wait when it is available.
Using the page break field as mentioned in the guide (How-to-Save-Forms-to-Continue-Later) should work.
That field is a requirement in the main form and for the session feature to work. Also, the session feature will require at least 2 forms.
Please try to review the guide to get the hang of it.
Please inform us if you require further assistance.
- deanmcrabbAnswered on November 14, 2012 at 08:25 PM
Okay thanks for your prompt reply. Is there an answer to question 3?
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on November 14, 2012 at 08:40 PM
Hi Dean,
Somehow, your previous response prior to this was not what I saw earlier. ;) I only saw 1 & 2 and in different text..
Anyway, to answer #3 -- Yes you can set this up in the multiple page form(with page breaks).
You can add a header field or a Free Text(HTML) field after each page break to put a header text like pagination on each pages.
Similar to this test form.
- deanmcrabbAnswered on November 14, 2012 at 10:23 PM
Yes, I did an edit of my comment maybe only 1 minute after posting it. You must have been reading it already. :-)
Thanks for your suggestion although its not exactly what I'm looking for.
Having "pages" then leads onto the need for "pagination", the ability to see what page you are on in context with the other pages on the form.
Here is a simple mockup I did to show you
Another great example is on Mailchimp
If this is not a feature then it would be GREAT it if was. Its seems a healthy natural step.
Another great feature would be to include options to hide pages by using tokens in the URL so you can customise it, so if people go to the URL a whole page (or series of pages) won't appear in the list for them.
IF HOWEVER there is a way to achieve both of these things that would be great.
Cheers Dean
- JotForm SupportidarktechAnswered on November 15, 2012 at 12:27 AM
Hi Dean,
The first picture seems to be like a tab pages, unfortunately that's not possible however the pagination using images is doable. Currently, JotForm doesn't have built-in pagination so what we are doing is a workaround. To do that, you just need to get all the pagination images and upload it to your form (using Image tool, under Power Tools) and then place them in the correct pages. It's just like Jonathan's idea. Example form:
Nice suggestion, we'll take note of that for now. Our dev team are prioritizing features base on the number of user requests and they are the one to decide if such feature will be considered or not.
- deanmcrabbAnswered on November 15, 2012 at 12:35 AM
Okay, Jonathon's example is a screenshot of Mailchimp as well
The nice part of the feature is not just having an image, but making it clickable, so that if you click the word "Ecwid" in the pagination, it jumps you to the Ecwid page. While I can certainly put a image up the top, is it possible to make the image clickable so that it takes you to a certain page? The implication being there, is there a URL method of taking the user to a defined page? If this is possible then I can do a special hotspot image that would do the trick.
BTW, talking business strategy ... while I understand user popularity based feature suggestions is a good way to prioritise your work, if your business is trying to compete with other online form builders, wouldn't their users be making the same requests? Hence you all end up with the same features and competing on equal ground. That's a nice way to stay stuck in battle with your competition and never clearly standing out from the crowd. Hmmm ... :-) Some features like this become a clear differentiator to you from the rest of the pack and would put you out in front. Something to think about.
- JotForm SupportidarktechAnswered on November 15, 2012 at 12:58 AM
Hi Dean,
Like I've said tab pages isn't yet possible in JotForm and I don't think there's any available workaround for this since multi-pages can't be access via links. Sorry about that.
Thanks for your feedback and we appreciate that. We respect and value every user's input but the fact is we can't give an assurance on the new/less requested feature since there are other prioritized features that needs more attention, but no worries because most of them are taken into consideration. It is just a matter of time.
- deanmcrabbAnswered on November 15, 2012 at 12:59 AM
I understand. Just making a suggestion.
Thanks for your help.
- JotForm SupportidarktechAnswered on November 15, 2012 at 01:32 AM
Be sure to let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. We are more than happy to help you here. :)
- deanmcrabbAnswered on November 15, 2012 at 06:44 PM
Okay, still having problems. I've cloned the form and replaced all the collapses with page breaks. But now when I submit the form I still don't get the saved responses coming up.
I've had once or twice where I've had partial responses appear but then later it blank.
When I go an look at "Submissions" the data is saved on your servers, but it is not appearing on my form when I access the URL link with the session= details.
Are you able to assist in what is the problem?
- JotForm SupportidarktechAnswered on November 15, 2012 at 08:48 PM
Hi Dean,
Thanks for your message.
FYI, once a session data is submitted, it is considered as "complete submissions" and so it will not stay anymore on the session link, it will be cleared from the form session URL. Session data can only be accessed when it isn't submitted yet. Example: http://firstname.lastname@example.com
Maybe what you are referring here is the edit_link. With this, your form users can access their completed submissions data using the edit link and so they can edit or update their data anytime they want. Here's a short guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/40-How-to-Let-Users-Update-Their-Form-Submissions-on-a-Later-Date

The worst Xbox 360 difficulty is the red ring of loss of life, and that is just what this article is likely to help you with. If your Xbox 360 problem is that your technique is freezing and you are acquiring red lights on the energy button this article is for you.
You are heading to learn:
-the trigger of the red light Xbox 360 dilemma
-what you must NOT to do when attempting to repair your Xbox
-a guidebook on how you can correct your Xbox 360 difficulty your self, and get rid of red mild errors once and for all!
Very first off I will acknowledge how pissed off you may possibly be to have this Xbox 360 issue. It is a royal pain, it ruins you sport time as you are in continual fear of freezing. Worse, it drops you from on the internet games (hurting your video game score) and you constantly drop stage progress.
This red mild Xbox 360 difficulty basically turns your method into a paper fat.
Nevertheless, no make a difference how frustrated you get, don't resort to desperate rapid repair tricks (like the towel trick I will display you in a instant). There is a risk-free and quickly way to restore your Xbox 360 dilemma permanently, and you will see how you can do that.
The cause of the red mild Xbox 360 problem
Warmth! The trigger of this red mild freezing Xbox 360 difficulty is warmth!
The following is the technical clarification: The heat sink (the cooling unit) was produced too little by Microsoft. They made it small to make space for the DVD drive. Now what occurs is this heat sink is as well modest to preserve the motherboard calme. As the motherboard heats up, it vibrates. These vibrations cause the GPU (graphics processing unit) to appear loose. The cause of your Xbox 360 difficulty is the GPU coming loose and your system locking up.
The repair to this Xbox 360 problem is explained beneath, but basically what you want to do is lessen the vibrations of the motherboard and enable it to breath far more (therefore retaining it cooler). Don't fear, this is not as challenging as it audio, and you can resolve your Xbox 360 dilemma with simple residence maintain instruments.
No technical experience is essential with a safe Xbox 360 fix, but in your stress do not resort to the towel trick!
The towel trick will not correct your red ring of demise
Some sites and websites are stating you wrap your system in a towel (leaving it on and more than heating it) or utilizing a hair dryer and above heating. Do not do this.
You observed above how warmth is the lead to of your freezing Xbox 360 issue, so far more heat will only make your Xbox 360 dilemma worse.
You have been warned.
Your Xbox 360 Issue Resolution Manual
Prior to doing something, I propose you take a look at a specialist Xbox 360 repair guide. These guides have movies and phase by action instruction to manual you by means of the complete process. They make it very simple to comply with together.
Also, do not be scared to take your system apart. 94% of red light error Xbox 360s do not want new areas, they just need a little tweak to get them up and working. It is not tough to take your system apart and do this repair. Apart from, it's damaged now anyways isn't really it?
Also, you CAN resolve this Xbox 360 difficulty by sending it in to Microsoft, but it will value you $140 and it will take six weeks. This Xbox 360 difficulty resolution guide (and a skilled Xbox 360 repair service guide) are really simple and a good deal less expensive. Select what works greatest for you.
So with that and mind (and my sturdy advice to watch a fix video) the following is how you fix your freezing Xbox 360 problem when and for all (note: the arctic silver thermal compound can be identified at any computer store and it only fees about $one):
1.Take away the encounter plate and casing. You will find a bit grey circles between all the holes on your method. Poke these with a sharp point. Also, at the back, there are 6 little box shapped holes that also want to be poked in order to pop your technique casing.
two.Eliminate the DVD drive and unplug it's cables
three.Gently just take the motherboard out.
four.Flip the motherboard more than and search at the 2 X-formed clamps. The heat sink is a large silver box on best of one particular of these X-clamps. Pop that X-clamp off and unscrew the warmth sink.
five.Now clean the CPU and GPU with rubbing alcohol (get rid of all the thermal compound).
6.The moment thoroughly clean, set new arctic silver thermal compound over the CPU and GPU.
7.Prior to placing the heat sink back, put 2 nylon washers beneath the heat sinks holes over the motherboard, and before you screw in the screws, put 2 washers on them as effectively. This allows your motherboard to breath and is a extremely important element of fixing your Xbox 360 issue.
8.Place the motherboard and DVD drive back again. Place the situation back again on, and electrical power it on for fifteen minutes. Just depart it. Then electrical power it off for half an hour or so.
nine.Turn it back again on and you are done! No much more Xbox 360 problem.
Free microsoft points generator
Now you know how to resolve your Xbox 360 issue, I suggest you take a seem at a specialist Xbox 360 repair service guidebook if you want support through this Xbox 360 restore. Just don't do nothing, your Xbox 360 is as well high-priced to turn out to be a paper bodyweight.
Best of luck repairing your Xbox 360 dilemma!

Barb Jungr - Shelter From The Storm - All About Jazz
Barb Jungr's art makes a grand argument for her being the most innovative singer in jazz since Cassandra Wilson. She has single-handedly emerged as the principle momentum behind expanding the "Standards Songbook" forward in time to include the Beatles, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and David Bowie. Her previous recording, Hard Rain (2014) was a revelation in the music of Dylan and Cohen, released after her very well received Every Grain of Sand (Linn, 2002). She has shown herself a smart collector of her repertoire and instrumental in the unique arrangements she employs. On Barb Jungr: Shelter from the Storm-Songs of Hope for Troubled Times, Jungr taps the resources of pianist (and Kurt Elling accompanist) Laurence Hobgood, in a simple jazz piano trio format to address another batch of Dylan and Cohen songs with David Bowie, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Bernstein and Sondheim, and Joni Mitchell thrown in. Hobgood does the arranging duties, imbuing the music with a certain dramatic pathos that drives like some divine momentum as a remnant through the collection. The title piece is presented as a complex tone poem that evolves from a simple presentation to a complex and demanding ending. The mashup of "All Along the Watchtower" with Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" is inspired and intelligent. A fine effort by all.

I was dealing with a distressed 12-year-old in the middle of moving to Hanna last July. She was working her way through a long litany of complaints…
"It's too far from Granny and Grandpa."
"I can't see the prairies."
"Our yard is too small."
"It's too noisy."
That's when I drove her out to Fox Lake and pointed out that there were a lake and campground within five minutes bike ride of Hanna, and that she could go there whenever she wanted to that summer. I didn't hear any more whining for the rest of the week as there were no lakes within biking distance at our old home (nasty, brackish sloughs don't count). Lakes are a Big Deal and that was the end of that.
I headed back out to the lake this evening hoping to shoot the crepuscular rays (God beams) appearing all through the evening sky over the water. They didn't disappoint, but the colour was so washed out of the final images that I decided to go with black and white. The beams were followed by rather empty rain clouds. It's nearly 11 pm as I type this and we're lucky if all of ten drops landed in our yard. The skies were "all show, no go" in that department this evening. I feel badly for the farmers – you can see the crops starting to fail all around the area now from the drought.

House Republicans just released a tax-cut plan that meets the nation's needs — and in a less bitterly partisan world would win major Democratic support.
It offers the relief for business and the middle class needed to get the economy roaring, while arguably increasing the progressivity of the individual tax code.
There are goodies for middle-income taxpayers, too. For example, the lowest bracket, with a rate of 12 percent, has an upper limit higher than the current 10 percent and 15 percent brackets. So many middle-income taxpayers would see their rates drop.

Our 2009 Tamar DA Dinner & Dance was help this weekend at the Hannafore Point Hotel in Looe. 78 guests attended what proved to be a cracking event, enjoyed by all whom attended it appears.
Everyone looked the part, some of us probably taking things a little too serious 🙂
Our Committee members worked tirelessly to ensure the evening went to plan, and allow us all to have a great time. The hotel staff certainly played their part also, with excellent service and timing throughout. It seemed that we overtook just about the whole of the hotel, and maybe one or two surrounding as well.
A small selection of photos are available here. Make sure you all check out our Chairman's good lady making full use of the dance floor.

Staff writer Nikki Ross and her boyfriend Andrew took a day trip to New Smyrna Beach on a cold and cloudy Saturday and wanted to try something off the beaten path for lunch. They decided on The Baker's Table in New Smyrna Beach located off of A1A in a shopping plaza.
What was the place like?
Though the location seemed commercial in the shopping plaza, the inside décor made you feel like you were in an off road café in a historic town. Two walls are covered in wide open windows which light up the otherwise dark and cozy walls and tables. Since it was a Saturday morning, it was fairly empty when we showed up around 11 a.m.
What's on the menu?
The lunch menu for Saturday includes brunch favorites including shrimp and grits, huevos rancheros, eggs benedict, French toast and breakfast burritos. Traditional lunch options include cold and hot sandwiches served with a side of house made chips, an Oyster Po'Boy, salads and soups. They also have starters like ceviche and a warm goat cheese tart. Each day they have homemade pastries.
What did you have?
We started off our lunch with a homemade lemon ricotta doughnut. I was skeptical at first because of the ricotta but my mind was settled after taking a bite. It was delicious. I'm not a huge fan on lemon, however, the lemon flavoring wasn't overpowering. At first you get an immediate taste of the lemon but as you chew it blends into the doughnut. We ended up ordering another to take home with us.
I decided on the turkey and avocado sandwich. I was not expecting something with so much turkey on it, but it was a nice change from other sandwich shops that only give you a few thin slices. In addition to the turkey, there was avocado, sprouts, mayo and monterey jack cheese. On the side was homemade chips I dipped in dressing. I was only able to eat half of it and with much difficulty since it was so big! I took the rest home for dinner.
Andrew decided on the day's sandwich special, a prime rib sandwich on ciabatta bread with crispy onions, swiss cheese horseradish dressing and pickles. It was served with a side of homemade chips that he dipped in the Po'Boy sauce. It was served warm and was a great addition to a chilly day. This is something we both wished was on the menu every day.
What did it cost?
The total was $29.82 before tax and included a coffee and a coke.
