The Use of Earmarks for Funding The use of earmarks for the federal funding of projects is a controversial issue. But what, exactly, are earmarks? In broad terms, earmarks refer to the designation of funds for specific purposes. An earmarked tax, for instance is a tax whose revenues must, by law, be spent for specific purposes. For example, a state gasoline tax may be earmarked for highway construction. Similarly, user charges, such as the charges that individuals pay to obtain a fishing license, may be earmarked for specific programs like wildlife conservation programs. While few would argue with the logic of these earmarks, the earmarks that appear in federal legislation tend to inspire more debate. Every year the U.S. Congress passes appropriations bills. These bills authorize the spending of federal funds on many different types of projects, including highway and bridge construction, environmental initiatives, and scientific research. These bills often contain earmarks requiring that a certain amount of the appropriated money be spent on a very specific purpose. For example, a federal highway bill that grants $500 million dollars for the construction or repair of interstates around the country may include an earmark designating $200 million of that sum for construction of a bridge in a particular town. Although this might make the citizens of that particular town happy, it likely will seem unfair to others. Earmarks allow congressmen to bypass the normal bureaucratic procedures for how funds are allocated and instead legislate their use. In some cases, this may be helpful, reducing bureaucratic inefficiency and ensuring that key programs receive funding. In other cases, the power to use earmarks may be abused, causing funds to be wasted or used for low-priority projects. In this Discussion, you consider the different contexts in which earmarks are used and the value of earmarks in funding public projects. Submit 150 – 500 word response: Due by Thursday 6/25/15: a brief explanation of an earmark. Then, explain your opinion on the use of earmarks to fund public projects and programs. Be sure to use examples to illustrate your points. Support your work with specific citations from the Learning Resources. You are allowed to draw from additional sources to support your explanation, but you must cite using APA standards. All quoted material must be identified, cited, and referenced per APA standards. .

This document discusses a case scenario involving Zoey, the owner of Happy Paws pet store. Zoey operates the store out of her grandmother's old Victorian house, which is in a desirable location but needs renovations that Zoey cannot afford. The document notes that the city has invested in beautifying the surrounding neighborhood to attract more businesses and tourists. Zoey learns from a friend that his uncle received government funding to renovate his historic restaurant through tax incentives and grants. Zoey wants to explore if her grandmother's century-old building would qualify for similar government programs to help cover the costs of needed renovations. The case scenario sets up an analysis of economic development strategies and tools that governments use

Public Private Partnerships - State of the Market and the Future of P3's
This document discusses public-private partnerships (P3s) for infrastructure projects in the United States. It notes that America's infrastructure received a poor grade and an estimated $4.6 trillion is needed for repairs by 2025. P3s are growing in popularity as a way to efficiently finance and deliver infrastructure projects. However, the US still has a large funding gap for infrastructure needs across many sectors like transportation, water, and schools. The Trump administration aims to address this through proposals to expand funding programs that support P3s like TIFIA and private activity bonds.
Rapoport Testimony Pa 1 14 10
The document provides testimony from Frank Rapoport before the GOP Policy Committee of the House Republican Caucus regarding public-private partnerships (PPPs).
Rapoport discusses three main points: 1) how PPPs can contribute to economic development and overcome shortcomings of traditional public sector delivery methods by lowering whole-life project costs, 2) the need for a federal best practices center to help local governments better understand PPPs, and 3) comments on a specific Pennsylvania Senate bill regarding legislative options to maximize PPP opportunities in the state.
2-2016 - Tackling the Infrastructure Deficit
The US faces a large infrastructure deficit, estimated at $3.6 trillion needed by 2020. The Highway Trust Fund, which funds domestic highway projects through a gas tax, faces a growing shortfall as maintenance costs outpace tax revenues. The EB-5 immigrant investor program has potential to help fund infrastructure by drawing $7.35 billion in overseas investment from 2010-2014. However, current rules prohibit using EB-5 for public infrastructure due to risk requirements. Allowing EB-5 funding of public projects like highways could help address the infrastructure funding gap at no cost to taxpayers.
Financing The New Economy New America Heartland Bank
The document proposes the creation of the Heartland Development Bank, a $10-25 billion source of financing for infrastructure projects in America's Heartland regions. It would serve as a lead lender to leverage private and public co-investment for economically significant projects. Modeled after development banks like the IDB, it would obtain capital from state and federal governments, private investors, and regional organizations to fund things like transportation, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing that current federal resources cannot fully support alone. The goal is to capitalize on emerging economic opportunities in the Heartland through strategic public and private infrastructure investment.

Scenario
Taggart County in Florida has a regular population of over 150,000, an annual operating budget of over $650 million, and a capital improvement project budget of over $175 million. Regular infrastructure projects in Taggart are funded through the operating budget and through the capital improvement project budget, which is adopted each year by the county commission.
Over the last year, the county government has undertaken a project to repair and replace 10 miles of sidewalks in the underserved, unincorporated community of Bluebird. The 500-home community of Bluebird is made up of primarily African American homeowners and renters, many who have lived there most of their lives. Sixty-five percent of families are female-led, and the median household income is $32,000 for a family of four, which is roughly half the area median income (AMI) of $60,000. A little over year ago, there was an accident in which a 10-year-old girl was riding her bicycle on the sidewalks and was severely injured as a result of the uneven, hazardous pavement.
Brookes Brothers Concrete Company was a leading advocate for the replacement of the sidewalks in the community. In fact, Brookes Brothers lobbyists privately brought the issue of crumbling sidewalks to the attention of a county commissioner named Harold Winter outside of a meeting given proper notice as required by law. Winter had previously worked at the Brookes Brothers company, and it was later found out that their communications were not properly documented. While there was never mention of corruption rising to the level of a corporate kickback, there were verifiable issues with communications that took place outside of what is permitted by law for lobbyists and elected local government officials.
In the yearly budget, only $12 million for sidewalk repairs had been allocated for the entire county, so the absolute most that could be spent on Bluebird without compromising the county’s ability to pay for maintenance and repairs in other places was estimated by the department of budget and financial services at $3 million. Ultimately, Brookes Brothers won the contract by submitting a bid of $2.5 million for the work to be completed within nine months. However, it has become clear that Brookes Brothers underbid the project in order to win the contract. They have been submitting substantial overage fees that are drawing near to the maximum budget of $3 million. The work is significantly behind schedule at just over a year, which has made it increasingly seen as a real disruption to community life, instead of a beneficial public works project.
Public disapproval of the project has reached a peak due to a recent investigative report from local media implying that the project is a result .

Are Public-Private Partnerships the Solution for the U.S. Infrastructure Issue?
While many typically associate the buzz-word "infrastructure" with crumbling roads and bridges, the issues are far more pronounced than what we see on our daily commute. There have been increased calls for public-private partnerships to alleviate or mitigate the ever-growing list of problems with U.S. infrastructure. The shape and structure of those partnerships, however, is a different story.
ASCE Infrastucture Report Card
The document discusses the state of aging U.S. infrastructure and opportunities for private investment growth through public-private partnerships. It notes that an estimated $2.2 trillion is needed over 5 years for infrastructure improvements, while only $975 billion is expected from government funding, leaving a $1.2 trillion gap that could be filled by private capital through partnerships. Several factors are driving increased interest in infrastructure investing, including an Obama stimulus package and the need to address critical sectors like roads and bridges that received poor grades in a recent infrastructure report.

This document discusses the benefits of pursuing long-term federal construction contracts. It summarizes that federal construction provides stable work even during economic downturns due to the large and consistent size of federal construction budgets. It recommends contractors commit for the long-term and build experience, quality work, and relationships to succeed. It also provides tips for getting started such as researching opportunities, attending seminars, partnering with others, and registering as a federal contractor. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides over $100 billion for infrastructure projects, creating new opportunities for federal contractors.

2. Public sector projects have longer lifetimes, larger investments, and lower interest rates than private sector projects. Their costs, benefits, and potential disbenefits must be estimated.
3. The benefit-cost ratio was developed to introduce objectivity to economic analysis of public sector projects by reducing the effects of politics and special interests, though there is always disagreement about how to define and value benefits.
Chapter+7 capital+markets
The document discusses various financial instruments and legal forms that can be used to finance water and sanitation projects through capital markets, including bonds, BOTs, PPPs, and others. It provides examples of how bond markets have been developed in countries like India and initiatives taken in African countries. Key requirements for developing a local capital market include an efficient government debt market, institutions to mobilize long-term savings, and continued support from international lenders to leverage local funds.
Hedge fund meet highway
Since the financial crisis, asset management companies, including some private equity firms and hedge funds, have become the backers of choice for huge, multiyear infrastructure development efforts like this one. Following on the heels of Blackstone’s success, many of the world’s largest private investment firms have begun to view these projects — mostly involving basic services like energy, transit, and water, but also medical and educational facilities — as an attractive channel for investment-grade credit. J.P. Morgan, Allianz Global Investors, BlackRock, and KKR are among the asset managers pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into capital projects in both the operating and construction phases. Pension funds have also begun to invest, finding that they can hire the expertise themselves instead of paying fees to asset managers. This unlikely romance between private asset management and infrastructure development could become the critical factor enabling industrial society to keep pace with the ever-growing needs of billions of people around the world.
Many of these global infrastructure investments have traditionally been the province of major commercial banks (U.S. projects tended to be funded by municipal bonds). The banks viewed these investments as desirable because the returns they offered were generally higher than those from sovereign or corporate debt. But the global banking collapse changed the investment landscape. When the dust settled from the crash and money began to flow again around the world, the banks were left with very different rules of engagement. Increased capital-to-debt requirements forced them to clean up their loan books, and tighter controls on derivatives and other proprietary trading activities limited their ability to invest widely. Seeking more liquidity and wanting to simplify their portfolios, many banks pulled out of infrastructure investments, which are generally long-term instruments and complex to manage.
Wastewater Infrastructure_Jung_Spring 2016
The document discusses financing options for wastewater infrastructure in the United States. It estimates that $271 billion will be needed over the next 5 years to maintain and improve wastewater systems. Current government spending has flatlined while costs are rising. Alternative options discussed include public-private partnerships, decentralized distribution systems, increased state revolving fund grants, the WIFIA loan program, and adjusting policies around private activity bonds and infrastructure trusts. The largest nutrient recovery plant in the world is highlighted at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant in Illinois.

Return on Investment Analysis City of Denver
This document provides a literature review and methodology for conducting a return on investment analysis of the Speer Boulevard Grade Separation project undertaken by the City and County of Denver in the 1990s. The literature review discusses public transportation investments, return on investment analysis methodology, and taxes related to property that are relevant to the analysis. The methodology section outlines collecting tax revenue data from reports, adjusting values to reflect 2012 dollars using the consumer price index, and using exponential smoothing to forecast future revenues. The analysis will examine costs of the project compared to tax revenues from real estate, business property, occupational privilege, sales, and use taxes to calculate the financial return to the city from the transportation infrastructure investment.
Jamieson: Alternative Finance and Delivery for Water Projects
Jill Jamieson presented on leveraging alternative finance and delivery structures for water resource projects. She discussed the global infrastructure funding deficit and America's aging infrastructure needs. Two case studies were presented: the Grand Prairie Irrigation Project, which could benefit from a public-private partnership to accelerate completion, and the Fargo-Moorhead Flood Risk Management Project, which a P3 approach would reduce costs and accelerate delivery for. The presentation concluded that P3 is becoming more common for infrastructure projects due to capital availability, though water projects have unique characteristics that require understanding to structure successful transactions.

There are numerous theories that attempt to explain the development and manifestation of psychological disorders. Some researchers hold that certain disorders result from learned behaviors (behavioral theory), while other researchers believe that there is a genetic or biological basis to psychological disorders (medical model), while still others hold that psychological disorders stem from unresolved unconscious conflict (psychoanalytic theory). How would each of these theoretical viewpoints explain anxiety disorders? Does one explain the development and manifestation of anxiety disorders better than the others?

There are multifaceted ethical issues relating to international inve.docx
There are multifaceted ethical issues relating to international investments. One aspect relates to human rights. Most Latin American governments have constitutions that mandate health care as a human right, yet some of these countries provide poor health care for the majority of their population.
During the 1980s, the general populace of these countries deteriorated, even though several Latin American countries developed strategies to reposition medical personnel and services to rural areas. Throughout this time, many international donors provided assistance; however they did so with imposed conditions. An example of this constrained assistance was the World Bank, which imposed restrictions that included privatization of health care, as well as required limitations on universal access.
Did the World Bank and other international donors act responsibly and ethically in constraining their humanitarian assistance? Who has the responsibility for the health care of the Latin American people? Is it a reasonable and socially responsible practice to offer international assistance in exchange for an opportunity to shape a country's political and/or social system? Why or why not?

Return on Investment Analysis City of Denver
This document provides a literature review and methodology for conducting a return on investment analysis of the Speer Boulevard Grade Separation project undertaken by the City and County of Denver in the 1990s. The literature review discusses public transportation investments, return on investment analysis methodology, and taxes related to property that are relevant to the analysis. The methodology section outlines collecting tax revenue data from reports, adjusting values to reflect 2012 dollars using the consumer price index, and using exponential smoothing to forecast future revenues. The analysis will examine costs of the project compared to tax revenues from real estate, business property, occupational privilege, sales, and use taxes to calculate the financial return to the city from the transportation infrastructure investment.
Jamieson: Alternative Finance and Delivery for Water Projects
Jill Jamieson presented on leveraging alternative finance and delivery structures for water resource projects. She discussed the global infrastructure funding deficit and America's aging infrastructure needs. Two case studies were presented: the Grand Prairie Irrigation Project, which could benefit from a public-private partnership to accelerate completion, and the Fargo-Moorhead Flood Risk Management Project, which a P3 approach would reduce costs and accelerate delivery for. The presentation concluded that P3 is becoming more common for infrastructure projects due to capital availability, though water projects have unique characteristics that require understanding to structure successful transactions.

There are numerous theories that attempt to explain the development .docx
There are numerous theories that attempt to explain the development and manifestation of psychological disorders. Some researchers hold that certain disorders result from learned behaviors (behavioral theory), while other researchers believe that there is a genetic or biological basis to psychological disorders (medical model), while still others hold that psychological disorders stem from unresolved unconscious conflict (psychoanalytic theory). How would each of these theoretical viewpoints explain anxiety disorders? Does one explain the development and manifestation of anxiety disorders better than the others?

There are multifaceted ethical issues relating to international inve.docx
There are multifaceted ethical issues relating to international investments. One aspect relates to human rights. Most Latin American governments have constitutions that mandate health care as a human right, yet some of these countries provide poor health care for the majority of their population.
During the 1980s, the general populace of these countries deteriorated, even though several Latin American countries developed strategies to reposition medical personnel and services to rural areas. Throughout this time, many international donors provided assistance; however they did so with imposed conditions. An example of this constrained assistance was the World Bank, which imposed restrictions that included privatization of health care, as well as required limitations on universal access.
Did the World Bank and other international donors act responsibly and ethically in constraining their humanitarian assistance? Who has the responsibility for the health care of the Latin American people? Is it a reasonable and socially responsible practice to offer international assistance in exchange for an opportunity to shape a country's political and/or social system? Why or why not?

TCO 5. There has been a bumper crop of politicians who have been revealed to be less than upstanding citizens. John Edwards, a former senator who was in the running for the 2008 presidential nomination, and who said family values were at his core, was revealed to have had an affair with a campaign worker, at the same time his wife was battling cancer. Similarly, New York governor Eliot Spitzer, a married, moralizing crusader for laws against sexual tourism, was caught in an escort service "sting", and forced to resign. These are only two of several recent examples of politicians who have celebrity status, and flaunted the social norms of decency.
Apply the course concepts of the
dark side of self-esteem
and
moral hypocrisy
to this type of behavior. What do you conclude about people who behave in such a way? Hint: Explicitly use each concept by name and also give a one sentence definition of it before explaining how the concepts apply to these people.

TCO 6. The Beltway sniper attacks in the Washington D.C. area, in 2002, completely transfixed American consciousness for the three weeks in October, when a pair of armed killers roamed through the Capital region, ambushing and killing 10 people, and wounding three others. As time progressed and law enforcement officials were having little luck in solving the case, tensions and apprehensiveness spread far beyond the area where the killings were concentrated. Even though there was never any hard evidence that the killers were headed in their direction, the citizens of towns and cities a hundred miles away were terrorized by the notion that the killers were about to show up in their communities.
Discuss this with respect to the
effects of suggestibility
that Myers writes about in Chapter 6. Be specific as to what aspects of suggestibility apply to the case.

Question 3.

TCO's 4 and 12. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Cuban Taekwondo athlete Angel Matos fell to the mat, after being hit by his opponent. He became incensed at the referee, who disqualified him for exceeding the one-minute time-out allowed for an injury. Matos angrily disputed the call, physically pushing a judge and then pushing and kicking the referee in the face. He spat on the mat and was escorted out by officials. The World Taekwondo Federation immediately banned Matos for life, and the IOC took away his bronze medal.
This is a two part question:
a. What is it about the fundamental nature and structure of the Olympics that helps explain why this situation occurred?
b. This example contains evidence of both hostile aggression and instrumental aggression. Which part of the example involves hostile aggression, and which part of the example involves instrumental aggression? Explain your reasoning.

Theodore Dalrymple How—and How Not—to Love Mankind A.docx
Theodore Dalrymple
How—and How Not—to Love Mankind
Almost every intellectual claims to have the welfare of humanity, and particularly the
welfare of the poor, at heart: but since no mass murder takes place without its
perpetrators alleging that they are acting for the good of mankind, philanthropic
sentiment can plainly take a multiplicity of forms.
Summer 2001
Almost every intellectual claims to have the welfare of humanity, and particularly the
welfare of the poor, at heart: but since no mass murder takes place without its
perpetrators alleging that they are acting for the good of mankind, philanthropic
sentiment can plainly take a multiplicity of forms.
Two great European writers of the nineteenth century, Ivan Turgenev and Karl Marx,
illustrate this diversity with vivid clarity. Both were born in 1818 and died in 1883, and
their lives paralleled each other almost preternaturally in many other respects as well.
They nevertheless came to view human life and suffering in very different, indeed
irreconcilable, ways—through different ends of the telescope, as it were. Turgenev saw
human beings as individuals always endowed with consciousness, character, feelings,
and moral strengths and weaknesses; Marx saw them always as snowflakes in an
avalanche, as instances of general forces, as not yet fully human because utterly
conditioned by their circumstances. Where Turgenev saw men, Marx saw classes of men;
where Turgenev saw people, Marx saw the People. These two ways of looking at the
world persist into our own time and profoundly affect, for better or for worse, the
solutions we propose to our social problems.
The resemblances between the careers of these men begin with their attendance at Berlin
University at overlapping times, where both were deeply affected—even intoxicated—by
the prevailing Hegelianism. As a result, both considered careers as university teachers of
philosophy, but neither ever held a university post. They had many acquaintances in
http://www.city-journal.org/index.html
common in Berlin, including Mikhail Bakunin, the Russian aristocrat who later became a
revolutionary anarchist, the philosopher Bruno Bauer, and the radical poet Georg
Herwegh. They shared a carelessness with money, perhaps because they were both born
into easy circumstances and therefore assumed that money would never be a problem.
Both started their writing careers as romantic poets, though more of Turgenev’s poetry
than Marx’s was published.
Their literary influences and tastes were similar. Each read widely in the Greek and Latin
classics; each could quote Shakespeare in the original. Both learned Spanish in order to
read Calderón. (Turgenev, of course, also learned it to speak the native language of the
great, but unsatisfactory, love of his life, the famous prima donna Pauline Viardot.) The
two men were in Brussels at the outbreak of the 1848 revolution against the July
monarch.

theme throughout this course has been that human and social services.docx
theme throughout this course has been that human and social services professionals constantly apply theories and processes to address issues and challenges. As a social change agent, leader, and advocate, you should be able to apply relevant theories and processes to implement and support change on a local and global scale. As always, codes of ethics should provide guidance as you attempt to bring about change. As the final step in the development of your strategic plan, you will develop an action plan for each year of the strategic plan. For example, your plan might start off with strategic goals at the local level with plans to take these goals national or international in following years of the strategic plan.
To prepare:
Review the feedback from your Instructor regarding the components of your strategic plan in Weeks 3, 4, and 6–8.
You should make any changes based on the feedback you received. You will include these elements as a whole this week for your final strategic plan.
Finally this week, consider what actions you will take each year of the strategic plan.
The Assignment (15–22 pages):
Guidelines for each section of the Assignment are provided below.
Part I. The Fundamentals (3–4 pages):
The fundamentals of a strategic plan include identifying the core values, mission, and vision, which represent the organizational identification (ID). The Assignment requires you to develop the organizational ID for the agency, organization, or community for which you will develop a strategic plan.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

The Use of Earmarks for Funding The use of earmarks for the fe.docx
- 1. The Use of Earmarks for Funding The use of earmarks for the federal funding of projects is a controversial issue. But what, exactly, are earmarks? In broad terms, earmarks refer to the designation of funds for specific purposes. An earmarked tax, for instance is a tax whose revenues must, by law, be spent for specific purposes. For example, a state gasoline tax may be earmarked for highway construction. Similarly, user charges, such as the charges that individuals pay to obtain a fishing license, may be earmarked for specific programs like wildlife conservation programs. While few would argue with the logic of these earmarks, the earmarks that appear in federal legislation tend to inspire more debate. Every year the U.S. Congress passes appropriations bills. These bills authorize the spending of federal funds on many different types of projects, including highway and bridge construction, environmental initiatives, and scientific research. These bills often contain earmarks requiring that a certain amount of the appropriated money be spent on a very specific purpose. For example, a federal highway bill that grants $500 million dollars for the construction or repair of interstates around the country may include an earmark designating $200 million of that sum for construction of a bridge in a particular town. Although this might make the citizens of that particular town happy, it likely will seem unfair to others. Earmarks allow congressmen to bypass the normal bureaucratic procedures for how funds are allocated and instead legislate their use. In some cases, this may be helpful, reducing bureaucratic inefficiency and ensuring that key programs receive funding. In other cases, the power to use earmarks may be abused, causing funds to be wasted or used for low-priority projects. In this Discussion, you consider the different contexts in which earmarks are used and the value of
