ScottsMiracle-Gro Announces Commitment To Enhancing Florida Water Quality With Multi-Year Consumer Education And Funding Of Scientific Research
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE:SMG), home to the leading brands in lawn and garden care, today launched a multi-year program across Florida to provide financial support to environmental groups and academic institutions focused on scientific research to help identify potential solutions to the state's water quality issues. The company also said it will launch a multi-media consumer campaign beginning immediately and escalating throughout the spring to remind homeowners how they can maintain healthy lawns and gardens while also protecting the state's critical water resources.
"As the leader in consumer lawn and garden care, we have a responsibility to help our consumers use our products correctly in order to be good stewards of the environment," said chairman and chief executive officer Jim Hagedorn, who is a resident of Florida. "As a resident of the Treasure Coast, and as someone with a passion to be on the water, I have witnessed the challenges in the St. Lucie River, the Indian River Lagoon and other waterways. I want Floridians to be confident that we're helping them do their part to help protect our most valuable natural resources."
Over the past several years, ScottsMiracle-Gro has taken key steps to improve the environmental profile of its lawn care products by removing phosphorus, reducing the amount of total nitrogen while also increasing the amount of slow-release nitrogen. The company has also introduced innovations in its widely-used lawn spreaders to ensure on-target fertilizer application. Additionally, enhanced instructions on product packaging provide consumers with clear instructions on how to use the products successfully while also helping to protect water quality.
"We have an obligation to help protect the environment and to ensure our products are being used correctly," said Hagedorn. "We embrace that obligation and are committing resources that will take us beyond what we've done before. We are proud to take a leadership role in this effort and we encourage others to do the same."

Chapters of the National Audubon Society share membership with the national organization, but the management and legal structure of the Chapter is separate and controlled by its Board of Directors. Because they are autonomous local organizations, local Chapters do not fall under the National Audubon Society's tax-exempt status.
Regardless of Chapter size, incorporation provides liability protection for board members. Federal tax exempt status provides additional benefits. Chapters that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) can offer donors the opportunity to deduct donations as a charitable contribution on their tax returns, and every Chapter has projects and activities that would benefit from donations. Tax-exempt Chapters do not have to pay tax on income generated by Chapter-related activities and they may also qualify for special bulk mailing rates.
Each state has different incorporation processes and requirements. Please browse the links below regarding incorporation/tax exemption and related issues. We recommend that you find a local attorney who can guide you through the processes of incorporating in your state (thereby assuring that your Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are in compliance with your particular state's rules) and of applying to the IRS for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
After your Chapter has been incorporated, please send a copy of your certificate of incorporation, bylaws and IRS tax-exempt determination letter to your State Office and to the Chapter Services Office. When changes to these documents are made, please send copies of the new versions to these same offices.
Because of the variations between states in the incorporation process, sales tax and property tax laws, and state solicitation statutes, and the ongoing requirements for annual tax and solicitation filings, it is important for each Chapter to find experienced and knowledgeable local counsel (an attorney and/or accountant) to guide the Chapter through the incorporation and exemption process and to provide ongoing service to ensure that the Chapter is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
In addition, it is equally important for each Chapter to establish an internal process to ensure that filings are completed and regulations adhered to. The creation of a manual to hold charter documents, annual filings and the applicable rules and regulations would aid new Chapter officers in complying with these requirements.
Incorporation on the state level as a non-profit corporation does not alone result in a Chapter becoming a tax-exempt entity to which donations are tax deductible. Chapters must subsequently file an application with the IRS for tax exempt status as a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. If a Chapter incorporates but does not obtain a federal tax exemption, it will be subject to both federal and state corporate tax.
501(c) (3) organizations enjoy a number of advantages. They do not pay federal income tax (except on unrelated business income) and contributions to them entitle donors to federal income, estate and gift tax deductions. In addition, most foundations and governmental entities will only make grants to 501(c)(3) organizations.
The tax-exempt status of National Audubon Society does not extend to its Chapters. Chapters are autonomous organizations.
While the following discussion serves as a guideline for obtaining tax-exempt status, Chapters should also consult an attorney with regard to filing the exemption application.
Applicants for tax exemption must use IRS Form 1023.
The IRS also issues numerous publications addressing the requirements for tax exempt status and the application process for such status, including the Tax-Exempt Organizations Tax Kit, which contains federal forms and publications pertinent to tax-exempt organizations, and a detailed review of what an organization must know and do to apply for tax exempt status. These publications may also be obtained by calling the IRS or by downloading them from the website.
Generally organizations should file for tax exemption no later than twenty-seven months after the date of their incorporation. This is especially important because, if this deadline is met, and the IRS approves the application, the exemption will be retroactive to the date of the Chapter's incorporation. Although, it is difficult to predict, it may take up to six to nine months for the IRS to act on an exemption application.
If more than twenty-seven months have elapsed since the date of incorporation tax exemption will not be retroactive and the organization will be subject to state for-profit corporate and tax laws. A Chapter in this situation should seek local counsel prior to applying for tax exemption
After incorporating and prior to filing an exemption application, an organization should obtain an Employer Identification Number, even if it does not have and never expects to have employees. This number is the Chapter's identification number, akin to an individual's Social Security number. To apply for an Employer Identification Number file a completed Form SS-4 with the IRS.
Once the IRS approves the exemption application, it will issue a Letter of Determination. The Letter of Determination establishes your Chapter as an organization exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
However, for the first three to five years it is exempt, your organization will be given provisional status as a "publicly supported" organization. Within Section 501(c)(3), organizations are subclassified as public charities or private foundations. For many reasons, it is advantageous to be classified as a public charity and not as a private foundation. The IRS will specify a date when you will have to certify that your organization has met the "public support" test- namely that during this period, at least one-third of your total income was derived from support by the general public, which includes the Chapter's membership dues. If the support test has been met, the IRS will then issue a definitive ruling, establishing your Chapter as a publicly- supported 501(c)(3) organization for as long as it meets the requirements.
You will often be asked to provide a copy of the Letter of Determination to prospective donors (especially foundations and corporations) as evidence of your exempt status. If you have misplaced your Letter you may obtain a replacement by calling or writing the IRS's Exempt Organizations Customer Service Division (877-829-5500; Internal Revenue Service, EP/EO Division, Customer Service, PO Box 2508, Cincinnati, Ohio 45201) with the name of your Chapter and its Employer ID number.
Incorporation as a not-for-profit corporation generally relieves members, officers, and directors from individual liability arising out of accidents or other unforeseen events. Incorporation also results in a more orderly organizational structure, which can be particularly important when it comes to ownership or leasing of real estate and opening of bank accounts. Incorporation is governed by state law and varies somewhat from state to state. It is best handled by a local attorney. Incorporation is also required by the Internal Revenue Service when a chapter seeks tax exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code. Check with your Secretary of State's office to determine the procedure for incorporation in your State.
Upon receiving your Letter of Determination from the IRS you should proceed to take advantage of your exempt status by applying within your state for a state sales tax exemption. In general, this is done through the Department of Taxation in your state. This exemption will allow you to purchase items for your organization free of local and state sales tax. If your organization owns land and uses it for your charitable purposes, you may also be able to take advantage of local property tax exemptions. Property tax laws differ considerably from state to state and by locality, therefore, local counsel should be used to guide you through such an application.
Audubon Chapters that qualify as 501(c)(3) non-profit public charities must file an annual information return using Form 990 or 990-EZ. If annual gross receipts do not normally exceed $25,000, an annual electronic notice (e-Postcard) Form 990-N (http://epostcard.form990.org/) generally may be filed instead. The deadline to file is May 15th for all organizations whose tax year ends on December 31. Organizations whose tax year is different from the calendar year must file by the 15th day of the 5th month after the close of their tax year.
Learn more and download IRS forms at http://www.irs.gov/charities/index.html. Please consult your tax advisor to determine the application of these requirements to your Chapter.
The IRS has often dropped 501(c)(3) entities in good standing from its comprehensive list of 501(c)(3) exempt organizations--Publication 78--because they have not filed their annual return. Inclusion in Publication 78 is important because it is often used by corporate and foundation donors to confirm an organization's exempt status.
Most states also require exempt organizations to file annual returns (most often with the Secretary of State or State Attorney General and, in many cases, even if the organization's annual gross receipts are less than $25,000) and many accept Form 990 in lieu of their own forms.
Federal law requires that exempt organizations send a copy of Form 990 (and make it available on their premises) to all members of the public requesting it.
Upon receiving your Letter of Determination, you may apply for a third-class, nonprofit bulk mailing permit from the U.S. Post Office from which mailings will be sent. The postmaster can tell you the price of the annual fee and of the special per-item mailing rate. The permit holder is required to separate all bulk mailings by zip code and organize them to certain specifications. Despite this extra burden, third-class bulk mailing is quite economical for large mailings such as newsletters and notices of meetings.
Learn more about non-profit bulk mailing at http://pe.usps.com/businessmail101/getstarted/bulkMail.htm.
What is Move Update?
Move Update involves the periodic matching of a mailer's address records with Postal Service customer-filed change-of-address orders, and is used to reduce the number of mail pieces that require forwarding or return due to incorrect addresses. Non-profits using bulk mail must certify on the postage statement submitted with each mailing that the address on each mail piece has been updated within the previous 95 days. If it is the first time the Chapter has gone through an address update process, a pre-mailing method method must be used. A pre-mailing method must also be used if it is been more than 95 days since the addresses have been updated. Otherwise, a post-mailing method may be used.
Can Audubon provide Chapters with a Certification of Move Update Compliance for the addresses on monthly Chapter membership rosters or mailing labels?
Unfortunately, it is not possible for Audubon to provide that certification. Once the roster or mailing labels are downloaded from the Chapter Reporting System website, Audubon no longer retains control of the membership list. The mailing method must be certified by the owner of the mailing (i.e. the Chapter).
How can a Chapter comply with the new Move Update standards?
There are several different ways to comply with the USPS bulk mail Move Update requirements. You can read more on these methods at https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=moveupdate.
Alternatively, one can bypass the Move Update standard, and avoid any fees, by including "OR CURRENT RESIDENT" or "OR CURRENT OCCUPANT" on the address. However, if the resident or business has moved, that mail piece will not be forwarded or returned to the Post Office. Read more at http://bulkmail.info/moveupdate.html.
How much does Move Update cost?
Cost varies depending on the method you choose for updating addresses. If you need to do a pre-mailing, please contact one of your local mailing houses (i.e., direct mail services). As of fall 2011, it cost about $25 to update 1,000 addresses. Ancillary service endorsements have small fees associated for each mailpiece, for example, the "return service requested" endorsement will cost first-class stamp postage for USPS to return the mailpiece to you with either an address update or an explanation of a bad address, and if you choose to resend the maipiece to the member, it will cost you first-class postage.
Pre-mailing is when you perform Move Update processing on your address list before you mail. Contact your local mailing house (i.e., direct mail service) for more information.
Post-mailing is when you mail to the existing addresses that you have on file and, after the mailing, the Postal Service will notify you about the new addresses of any customers who have moved.
The primary reason many organizations seek and obtain a tax exemption is to be able to compete with other charitable organizations for donor dollars. Individuals are far less likely to donate (while living or under a will) to an organization if they can not obtain an income or estate tax deduction for their contribution. Foundations, corporations and governmental entities often will only make grants to organizations with 501(c)(3) status.
State regulations governing fundraising by exempt organizations have grown more numerous and complex. Virtually every state now requires exempt organizations that intend to fundraise in that state to register with the state prior to conducting fundraising activity and to file annual reports documenting their activity.
In addition, most states require companies and individuals that provide fundraising solicitation and consulting services to exempt organizations to register prior to providing such services. Many states require the organizations to enter into a written contract with solicitors and consultants and to file the contract with the state prior to the provision of services. In many cases, organizations are subject to penalties if they hire a solicitor or consultant who is not properly registered. Finally, many states require that certain written information (or oral statements) be included in all fundraising materials sent into that state or as part of telephone solicitations within that state. The IRS website provides a portal where you can review the requirements for the states in which your organization solicits funds: http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=129028,00.html.
Non-profit organizations must also comply with the IRS acknowledgement and disclosure requirements when receiving certain contributions. The IRS website provides a publication aimed at the general public that provides more information on these requirements: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1771.pdf. Chapters are encouraged to consult with their legal and financial advisors on these and any other applicable requirements.
Federal law permits publicly supported 501(c)(3) organizations to "lobby" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) so long as lobbying activities do not constitute more than an insubstantial amount of the organization's total activities. Such organizations may elect to be covered under Section 4911 of the Internal Revenue Code which prescribes specific dollar limitation safe harbors on lobbying based on an organization's annual revenues (National Audubon Society is an electing organization).
Lobbying, as defined in the Code, is further subclassified into "direct" and "grassroots" lobbying; and the dollar limitations referred to above are broken down by these two categories. Organizations exceeding the prescribed amounts are subject to taxes, penalties and, ultimately, possible loss of tax exempt status. Learn more through the IRS website.

Queens Park Rangers have confirmed that midfielder Kieron Dyer has signed a new contract at Loftus Road.
Dyer, 33, has extended his deal with the Barclays Premier League club to the end of the 2012/13 campaign.
He suffered a nightmare start to his Rangers career having signed on a free after leaving West Ham United last summer, picking up an ankle injury seven minutes into his debut last August.
Dyer failed to play again for the rest of the season after injuring ligaments in his foot, but Rangers manager Mark Hughes hopes he will be available for pre-season training.
According to the club's official website, QPR have also offered new deals to defender Clint Hill, midfielder Akos Buzsaky and goalkeeper Radek Cerny.
All three are now in negotiations with the club, who are hoping they follow Dyer and Jamie Mackie in agreeing to stay in west London after QPR secured their place in the top flight next season.
Rangers have confirmed eight players will not be staying on when their contracts expire at the end of June.
Peter Ramage, Danny Gabbidon, Danny Shittu, Fitz Hall, Gary Borrowdale, Lee Cook, Rowan Vine and Patrick Agyemang will now all be on the lookout for a new club.
"The club would like to thank each and every player for their contribution to QPR during their time here and wish them every success for the future," said a QPR statement.

A Special Supplement: The Trouble with Black Power
By separatism Powledge means "the construction of parallel societies, black and white." This is "impossible," he thinks, because "black institutions, built alongside existing white ones, would be poverty-stricken by comparison." Moreover, separatist "demagogues" would have to use violence "as an organizing tool" in order to keep the black community in line; and if that happened, "the white majority would respond with near-genocide." Integration, on the other hand, does not necessarily mean assimilation. In fact Powledge thinks that it is "essential" for the civil rights movement to "stamp out the idea, held so long by so many white liberals who did not even know that they held it, that integration consists of turning 'them' white."
Powledge's position resembles Nathan Wright's. Both writers advocate integration or desegregation—that is, equal rights and equal opportunities—while opposing assimilation on the one hand and black separatism on the other. If Black Power means that Negroes should not straighten their hair in order to win illusory acceptance by whites, then both Powledge and Wright support it. Nor does Powledge deny that, within the civil rights movement, Negroes should "run the show." When he urges whites to restrict themselves to contributing their special skills to a movement led largely by Negroes, he agrees not only with Wright, but with Carmichael and Hamilton, who believe that white people are most effective in "supportive" roles. Since neither Wright nor Carmichael and Hamilton advocate the conception of black separatism which Powledge attacks, one begins to wonder whether the whole controversy about Black Power doesn't boil down to a dispute about certain words. Everybody, it seems, supports Black Power and, at the same time, favors "integration."
But as Stokely Carmichael pointed out in an interview in The Militant (May 23, 1966), "You can integrate communities, but you assimilate individuals." Until black people become a community, in Carmichael's view, efforts to integrate them necessarily imply assimilation. Here is the irreducible difference between the integrationist and Black Power positions. Fager's book helps to clarify the debate. Without indulging in the liberal-baiting that so often accompanies discussions of Black Power, he challenges integrationists to demonstrate why "integration" does not work out in practice to mean assimilation, whereby a few middle-class Negroes are provisionally admitted to white society, leaving the others behind in the ghetto as unassimilable. According to Fager, this is certainly the way things have worked out so far. If more money were spent on education and welfare programs, he argues, the rate of mobility could be speeded up, but it is unlikely that the ghettos could be completely eradicated—not for a long time, anyway, and in the meantime more assimilation at the top will merely add to the hatreds and frustrations at the bottom of Negro society.
Whereas Bayard Rustin and others argue that Negroes cannot hope to win equality except in coalition with other groups, Fager believes, as do other advocates of Black Power, that at the present time the black community is not cohesive enough to enter into coalitions without being swallowed up. As a white radical who until recently worked in the civil rights coalition, he is left with the question of where next to turn his energies. He tries to show that Black Power demands of white liberals a parallel strategy, based on the premise that the "liberal community," like the Negro community, "does not control the institutions around and through which its life is organized and controlled." Each of these communities must therefore develop "an economic base which it can control, which can support the community substantially, and which can confront other power groups as equals." Young radicals should "go back to school" and acquire the skills necessary to run parallel and competing institutions which will free the "liberal community" from its dependence on established structures; while the older radicals should "figure out how to withdraw their money and abilities as much as possible from status quo institutions and rechannel the bulk of them into the development and support of independent-base institutions."
UNFORTUNATELY THESE SUGGESTIONS are exceedingly vague, although they are not much more vague than the strategy of Black Power itself. Fager's effort to translate Black Power into its white equivalent unintentionally reveals the poverty of Black Power as a political strategy. For while a program of collective self-help seems closer than civil rights solutions to the psychological and even to the economic needs of the ghetto, the advocates of Black Power have not been able to explain what such a program means in practice or what kind of strategy would be necessary to achieve it. This is probably why they spend so much time talking not about politics but about therapy. By detaching Black Power from its context—the psychic and spiritual malaise of the ghetto, which Black Power, like other versions of black nationalism, is designed to cure—Fager makes clear what we had already begun to suspect, that Black Power not only contains no political ideas that are applicable elsewhere, it contains very few political ideas at all. As a program of spiritual regeneration, it offers hope to people whom the civil rights movement ignores or does not touch; though, even here, Black Power may prove to be less successful than the religious versions of black nationalism, since it can appeal neither to the mystic brotherhood nor to the authoritarian discipline of the Black Muslims. As a political program, Black Power does not explain how Negro cooperatives are to come into being or what they will use for money, how the ghettos are to control and pay for their own schools, or why, even if these programs were successful, they would lead to sweeping changes in American society as a whole.
Are the proponents of Black Power capable of formulating a workable strategy? Are they even interested in formulating a strategy? Although Black Power does address itself to certain problems of the ghetto which other approaches ignore, one cannot even say with confidence that the emergence of Black Power is a hopeful sign, which, if nothing else, will teach black people to stop hating their own blackness. If it merely teaches them to hate whiteness instead, it will contribute to the nihilistic emotions building up in the ghetto, and thus help to bring about the race war which spokesmen for Black Power, until recently at least, claimed they were trying to prevent. In so far as Black Power represents an effort to discipline the anger of the ghettos and to direct this anger toward radical action, it works against the resentment and despair of the ghetto, which may nevertheless overwhelm it. But Black Power is not only an attack on this despair, it is also, in part, its product, and reflects forces which it cannot control.
In the last few months, we have seen more and more vivid examples of the way in which Black Power has come to be associated with mindless violence—as in the recent disturbances at San Francisco State College—and with a "revolutionary" rhetoric that conceals a growing uncertainty of purpose. It becomes increasingly clear that many of the intellectuals who talk of Black Power do not understand the difference between riots and revolution, and that they have no program capable of controlling the growing violence of the ghetto. It is also becoming clear that in fact they have not only given up the effort to control violence or even to understand it, but are themselves making a cult of violence, and by doing so are abdicating leadership of their own movement. Meanwhile white radicals, who supposedly know better but are just as foolish and patronizing about Black Power as they were about civil rights, applaud from the sidelines or, as at San Francisco State, join the destruction, without perceiving that it is radicalism itself that is being destroyed.
THE NIHILISTIC TENDENCIES latent in Black Power have been identified and analyzed not only by the advocates of "liberal" coalitions. The most penetrating study of these tendencies is to be found in Harold Cruse's The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual, which is also an analysis of integration and a defense of black nationalism. Cruse is a radical, but his book gives no comfort to the "radicalism" currently fashionable. It deals with real issues, not leftist fantasies. Cruse understands that radicals need clarity more than they need revolutionary purity, and he refuses to be taken in by loud exclamations of militancy which conceal an essential flabbiness of purpose. At a time when Negro intellectuals are expected to show their devotion to the cause by acting out a ritual and expatiatory return to the dress and manners of their "people"—when intellectuals of all nationalities are held to be the very symbol of futility, and when even a respected journalist like Andrew Kopkind can write that "the responsibility of the intellectual is the same as that of the street organizer, the draft resister, the Digger: to talk to people, not about them"—Cruse feels no need to apologize for the intellectual's work, which is to clarify issues. It is because Negro intellectuals have almost uniformly failed in this work that he judges them, at his angriest and most impatient, a "colossal fraud"—a judgment that applies without much modification to white intellectuals, now as in the recent past.
The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual is a history of the Negro Left since the First World War. When all the manifestoes and polemics of the Sixties are forgotten, this book will survive as a monument of historical analysis—a notable contribution to the understanding of the American past, but more than that, a vindication of historical analysis as the best way, maybe the only way, of gaining a clear understanding of social issues.
As a historian, an intellectual, a Negro, and, above all perhaps, as a man who came of political age in the 1940s, Cruse sees more clearly than the young black nationalists of the Sixties how easily Negro radicals—integrationists and nationalists alike—become "disoriented prisoners of white leftists, no matter how militant they sound." Instead of devising strategies appropriate to the special situation of American Negroes, they import ideologies which have no relevance to that situation and which subordinate the needs of American Negroes to an abstract model of revolutionary change. Marxism is such a model, and a considerable portion of Cruse's book elaborates and documents the thesis that American Marxism has disastrously misled Negro intellectuals over a period of fifty years.
But the ideology of guerrilla warfare, which in some Black Power circles has replaced Marxism as the current mode, equally ignores American realities. According to Cruse,
The black ghettoes are in dire need of new organizations or parties of a political nature, yet it is a fact that most of the leading young nationalist spokesmen are apolitical. …The black ghettoes are in even more dire need of every possible kind of economic and self-help organization, and a buyers and consumers council, but the most militant young nationalists openly ridicule such efforts as reformist and a waste of time. For them politics and economics are most unrevolutionary. What they do consider revolutionary are Watts-type uprisings—which lead nowhere.

Webster Dictionary

liberality in giving; munificence
Generosity is the habit of giving without expecting anything in return. It can involve offering time, assets or talents to aid someone in need. Often equated with charity as a virtue, generosity is widely accepted in society as a desirable trait. In times of natural disaster, relief efforts are frequently provided, voluntarily, by individuals or groups acting unilaterally in making gifts of time, resources, goods, money, etc. Generosity is a guiding principle for many registered charities, foundations and non-profit organizations. Generosity can also be spending time, money, or labor, for others, without being rewarded in return. Although the term generosity often goes hand-in-hand with charity, many people in the public's eye want recognition for their good deeds. Donations are needed to support organizations and committees, however, generosity should not be limited to times of great need such as natural disasters and extreme situations. Generosity is not solely based on one's economic status, but instead, includes the individual's pure intentions of looking out for society's common good and giving from the heart. Generosity should reflect the individual's passion to help others. In Buddhism, generosity is one of the Ten Perfections and is the antidote to the self-chosen poison called greed.

Chaos to Comprehension: Estate Planning in Wyoming
Estate planning in Wyoming used to be much like trying to decipher the instruction manual for any item of technology. There was very little clear statutory guidance on estate planning so there was an element of "Hmm…let's see what happens when we plug the cord in this slot." If you didn't get electrocuted and the appliance worked, then it was a successful experiment. Likewise, if your client's estate bypassed probate, then it was a successful estate plan. The other solution was to predecease your clients, which really wasn't all that viable of an option unless one was speaking with your spouse who just happens to be the beneficiary under your life insurance policies and retirement plans. Accordingly, I can assure you that I will not provide my lovely bride with a copy of this article.The Wyoming Probate Code, WS §§ 2-1-101 et seq., used to provide the only statutory guidance to Wyoming lawyers preparing an estate plan for their clients. However, this guidance was more tailored towards "what not to do" rather than giving a path on how to prepare proper estate planning for a client. Since any Wyoming probate estate in excess of $150,000 currently requires formal probate administration under WS §§ 2-7-101 et seq., estate planners in Wyoming historically looked for mechanisms to avoid the relatively onerous and confusing probate administration provisions. This typically required that lawyers and their clients employ creative beneficiary designations, survivorship titling of assets, pay-on-death or transfer-on-death designations, coffee cans of cash buried somewhere in the back 40, or trusts to minimize probate exposure. However, for most reasonable sized estates, the use of trusts constituted the primary planning tool for Wyoming estate planning lawyers due to the fact that, if properly drafted and funded, a trust can avoid conservatorship proceedings as well as probate administration. Until July 1, 2003, the creation or use of any trust in Wyoming forced most Wyoming lawyers to rely on the Restatement 2nd of Trusts, a couple of published Wyoming cases, the common law of other jurisdictions, and a certain modicum of blind faith, the latter of which could only have made the various professional errors and omissions carriers cringe. With the adoption of the Wyoming Uniform Trust Code, WS §§ 4-10-101 et seq., (the "WUTC") in 2003, a technical amendment in 2005, and a substantive amendment in 2007, Wyoming lawyers now have a very clean and clear framework for establishing, modifying and otherwise assisting in the administration of any Wyoming trust. The WUTC applies to all Wyoming trusts created after 2003, and can be applied to any trust created before 2003 through the retroactive application provisions of WS § 4-10-1103(c). The principal drafters of the WUTC, Robert Leonard, Doug McLaughlin, John Warnick, Mike Bohl, Robert Leibrich and others, spent countless non-billable hours integrating the Uniform Trust Code with the very best statutory provisions that could be pulled from Alaska, Delaware, South Dakota, Nevada, and other trust savvy states to come up with the chassis from which we all benefit today. While this was neither an exciting nor glamorous process, it did create a well laid out statutory framework that can only help Wyoming lawyers dealing with trusts, as well as our clients who are using these trusts. Put another way, they created a coherent instruction manual for trusts within this state. Accordingly, if any of you see any of these drafters (who are rarely allowed into the general population for obvious reasons including their detailed knowledge of the Internal Revenue Code), please give them a pat on the back for their years of hard work. The WUTC, as originally adopted in 2003 and amended in 2005, was intended to create a general statutory framework for the creation, administration, modification and termination of trusts, whether they be revocable, irrevocable or charitable in nature. While this trust instruction manual is not the "Complete Idiot's Guide to Estate Planning," it is coherent and a true benefit to each of us in our practices. In juxtaposition is the DVD instruction manual at which we all quickly looked and promptly disregarded unless we had a degree in mechanical or electrical engineering.In addition, when the WUTC was originally adopted in 2003, the legislature adopted a parallel amendment to Wyoming's Rule Against Perpetuities (RAP), the mere reference of which takes many of us back to the hazy law school days of property classes, thereby allowing a Wyoming trust to last for a period of up to 1,000 years. This amendment to the RAP created a whole new set of planning opportunities for clients who wanted to give their descendants an additional prolonged level of creditor protection as well as avoid the successive imposition of estate taxes at each subsequent generational level through the allocation of their generation skipping transfer tax exemption.When coupled with Wyoming's favorable income tax laws and lack of any estate tax, the WUTC and parallel RAP amendment quickly thrust Wyoming into the forefront of favorable states in which to create and site a trust. Several national publications, including Worth magazine, repeatedly rank Wyoming as one of the top states in the nation in which to create, site and administer a trust. As word gets out, Wyoming is continuing to attract a new type of "green economy" (take that one as you please) which in turn creates more business for Wyoming lawyers, accountants, financial institutions and the like. Over the past several years we have seen many trusts created under the WUTC by non-Wyoming residents, as well as the transfer of a multitude of trusts from other jurisdictions. This new business clearly reinforces the success of the WUTC and our legislature's decision to adopt this act.In 2007 the WUTC was further amended to allow for the creation of self-settled asset protection trusts--one more step in making Wyoming a competitor, if not a leader, in the area of trust law. To the credit of the principal drafters, they strived to provide a mechanism for the creation of self-settled asset protection trusts while discouraging the abuse of these trusts by those who would use them to defraud creditors. The goal was really to keep Wyoming competitive but not to attract disreputable persons and business to the state. This 2007 amendment is again generating more diversified "green" business to Wyoming, and will hopefully help us to ride out the rough economic times should there ever be any downturn in our mineral driven economy.So what then does all of this mean for the practicing Wyoming lawyer? In general it means that the WUTC provides each and any one of us with a quick "go to" instruction manual when our clients come to us with a trust question. This is a much better resource than the cobbled common law that we were forced to rely on in the days of old. By virtue of the WUTC we are now all much better equipped to serve our clients who come to see us with estate planning questions and to prepare the necessary trusts for those clients whose probate estates exceed the current administration threshold. Moreover, we are now able to attract and retain the business of those clients who come from less favorable trust jurisdictions. I can tell you that over the past four years my print versions of the WUTC have gotten dog-eared, flagged, highlighted, coffee stained, and otherwise abused but have served me extremely well in responding to the needs of my clients. By comparison I'm still unable to decipher the DVD instruction manual which still looks brand new, so if anyone has the "Complete Idiot's Guide" to DVD players, please let me know where I can find a copy.

Fave Host Segments?
Hi everyone! I'm new to the community and to Blurty in general. ::waves:: Just wanted to introduce myself and share a question with you all. I've been a card-carrying MiSTie every since the show was on the old Comedy Channel. That's right, Comedy Channel, with all the other old "shows" like Rachael Sweet, the Higgins Boys and Gruber, and Allan Havey. That's a long time ago!Anyhoo, here's my question. What's your favorite host segment? It can be from Joel era, Mike era, Comedy Central, Sci-Fi, any era you wish, even KTMA! Here are mine. Joel Era: Pod People, the Idiot Control SongJoel and the bots mimic the stupid band singing a song in the movie. "It stinks!"orMitchellJoel's Farewell. "You are a part of the circus of Dr. Lo."Mike Era: Jack Frost"Michael Nelson is Lord of the Dance!"orFinal JusticeGoosio! Tom and Crow think that Goosio is just a lame puppet controlled by Mike and beat up on it, only to have Mike come in and tell the bots that it's the real Goosio. There's probably a lot more I could name, but then I'd have to go on and on and on. :)

One Thousand White Women
The Journals of May Dodd
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
I loved this book. May Dodd was definitely a misfit in her society but I liked her. The book dealt with the conquering of the native people by the whites. Interesting day to day details of native life and the old west.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story; the cultural differences, the eccentric cast of characters, and the voice of the narrator, May Dodd. Highly recommended for a unique story line.
Not very well written. Also the main character was so unrealistically "progressive" it was hard to really get into the story. An interesting concept for a book, but it was so poorly executed I couldn't finish it.
An interesting and unusual idea for a book, however the writing itself was not that great. I think it picked up near then end but apparently some readers quit before that.
have read better treatments of the native American vs Great White Father. Did not enjoy the broad dialects and in general thought it needed editing
This is an impressive historical novel, terse, convincing, affecting and so well written it trasports readers to another time and place so that when they close the book, they are astonished to find themselves returned to their everday lives.
Great book! Excellent insight into the Native Amercian "resettlement". While fictional, much of what happened, minus the main plot-line, could have been real. Great read.
Great story

Your search "year end" resulted in 18 Articles
Shutter Stories: My Awesome 2013 in AnalogueWhile 2013 was a year of many changes and challenges for me, overall, it was a really great one. I got to travel a lot (no trips abroad, but the local trips were nothing short of amazing), I got to try some new things, resumed a photography project, and added two new members in my analogue arsenal. Read on to find out which events defined the outgoing year for me, all in glorious analogue!
A Year-End Message from the Magazine TeamWe hope all of you are having a spectacular time this yuletide season. As the year draws to a close, the Lomography Magazine would like to impart a brief yet heartfelt message.
My 2013 in Analogue: Going PlacesA combination of travelling of sorts and discovery defined 2013 for me. Be it a trip taken within the country (in this case, the tiny island of Singapore) or outside, they have been special to me in their own way.
My Best Analogue Moments of 2013I have lots of analogue memories this year. Come and take a look at my photos and best moments from year 2013!
2012: The Year of the AnalogueYear in and year out, I kept a camera in my bag and a sharp eye out for fabulous photo ops. Take a look at some of my best (and worst) Lomography moments!
Counting Down My 2012 in AnalogueWhile counting down to the end of 2012, this is a lomo-harvesting year for me. I <3 Lomography!
Shutter Stories: My 2012 in AnalogueEvery photo has a story apart from what was caught on film. Here, I present my 2012 in analogue photos and tell the stories behind them.
My 2012 in Analogue: 5 of My Favourite PhotosThis year, I have taken some photos that I am really rather proud of. In this article, I will talk about 5 photos that I have taken this year that I love, and why I love them.
My 2012 in AnalogueI promised last year that I would shoot exclusively film for this year. Sad to say that I was not able to keep such promise. But on the bright side, I shot mostly film this year. Compiling these photos I got a clear picture of how my 2012 transpired.
My Analogue 2012: A Year of Firsts!My whole 2012 year, including my 1 year anniversary of being a Lomographer.
My 2012 in Analogue: A Year of Acquisition and Experimentation2012 saw a lot of photographic action from me. I acquired half a dozen new cameras, learned some new, and fun techniques, and shot hundreds of pictures. I even made my own website to document it all.
2012 Through the Analogue Lens2012 was quite the year for some of us analogue lovers. Luckily for us, we probably captured most of it with our cameras!
2012: My Analogue Year2012 has been my second and best year of Lomography so far. It has been a year of experiments, travel and buying new lomo gear! Read on to find out more about some of the highlights of my analogue 2012.
Naughty or Nice: The Lens Licker Meets Lomo Santa Claus!What if the Lens Licker meets Lomo Santa Claus? They probably chat about analogue photography,cameras blah blah blah...but more of that later! It's the end of the year so how about me as adi_totp share my own failed shots side by side my very own (maybe) great snaps? Come on, let me show you all!
My 2012 in AnalogueLooking back on this year I know I will not remember it by the month, rather by the place that I was. I was extremely lucky this year to start the year where I come from in Australia, finish it in London, Canada where I now call home and visit a bunch of places in between.
My 2012 in Analogue: A Wonderful and Content YearIn just a blink of an eye, 2012 is going to end in a few more days. Analogue has filled the empty space in my 2012 and had given me sweet memories. It's all because I brought them everywhere, regardless of whether I'm on a business trip, vacation, or outing.
My Analogue 2012: A Photo a MonthLast year, I took part in the year ender series and shared with you all one of my favourite photos from each month in 2011. I am going to do the same again this year and tell you a bit about each shot.
My 2011 in Analogue: A Photo a MonthMy aim for 2011 was to make the most of free time and snap snap snap away. I think I achieved that as I became a much more active lomographer throughout the year. Here I will show you one photo I love from each month of 2011, and tell you a little about it.

At Pumulani - Some fantastic food and warm welcome. The villas are gigantic and so well decorated, with an amazing view on the lake. The sunsets were magnificent (especially from your bath in your gigantic villa, with a glass in your hand!). We went for a walk in the villages nearby and it was a good reality check for the kids but again some warm welcome from all.

Anna & I have recently returned home from our honeymoon & would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to you & your staff for making our honeymoon SO SPECIAL! You really spoilt us rotten, our personalized dinners, breakfasts on the dhow etc. etc.! As for the incredibly tasty food & making special gluton free meals we felt truly spoilt! Please could you pass on our thanks to your amazing staff – we miss their HUGE smiles & amazing nature!
We can't wait to return to Malawi & hopefully Pumulani soon – we will definitely be spreading the good news & referring everyone to your beautiful place! All the best that end and we hope the season is a great one & Malawi goes from strength to strength during this challenging time!

This was an amazing place…every single facet was exemplary. Great guiding for bird-watching. Excellent Service, great hosts and staff. Overwhelming accommodation, beautiful villas, well maintained and clean, and very comfortable. The best food we've had in the region.

The village visit was a memorable experience, being a real village, not one set up for tourists and the dhow trip was lovely, even with extreme winds!

What makes Pumulani so special is the views & the staff. There are views over the lake to 3 nearby villages where there is always lots of activity.
We saw fishermen on the lake in their dugout canoes & heard them singing as they worked. This created a wonderful atmosphere. The staff at Pumulani are mostly from the nearby villages. We were keen to learn about their lives and they were keen to hear about life in the UK. Malawi is a desperately poor country and it was good to see what Robin Pope are doing to help just a little.

Pumulani, Lake Malawi: Absolutely fantastic place – enormous and stunning accommodation, beautifully located and really well done – one of the best places we have ever stayed in. Luke and Betty were excellent (please apologise to them again for us running off with the key – so sorry!) and run it brilliantly – very helpful, friendly and relaxed. All the staff were great, everything was really well organised and the activities were great fun. Lovely little touches like having your sundowner round the campfire, and lunch on the beach, were very much appreciated.

Thank you to all at Pumulani and to Robin Pope safaris for an absolutely SUPER holiday, great for the kids, relaxing for me and with superb food, views and the privilege of being in the National Park. Glen was great with us and patient with the kids taking them fishing and taking us all tubing and on the sailing boat. We came back relaxed and felt so pampered there. It was amazing to see the cichlids around your feet just off the beach, whereas most places you have to have a trip off the island to see them.
Am now looking ahead to booking up at Christmas when my Mum visits and have spread the word in Blantyre and on facebook!
Sonja Schlegel
Malawi, March 2010
Our time at Pumulani was absolutely amazing. We were there for three days and felt like we had been away for three weeks. Luke, Bettina, Lukia, Michael, Loyce, Joseph, Black... all of them and the entire staff made us feel very special and pampered us all the way. The absolute top was breakfasting on the dhow on our last morning. We used Lake Malawi to its maximum - sailing, kayaking, swimming, snorkelling, speedboating - and I also went on a beautiful nature hike with Luke, kayaking back in the sunset to a stunning landscape. Throughout our stay, we enjoyed the beautiful views from our villas - the clear blue lake surrounded by lush hills and mountains, the fisher village in the distance - you didn't know where to look first. We will definitely be back! :-)

We would like to express the appreciation of my family for the very unique experience we had at Pumulani. The views are stunning; the staff are excellent and the food was great. It was so relaxing in the villas, it was incredible. We look forward to spending more time there.
Mark and Jenna are wonderful and the staff take their cue from them.
All the best to Pumulani.
