But filing your IRS Form 990 doesn't have to be that bad if you know what information you need and where to go to file. Here is what you need to know about IRS Form 990, so you can get back to helping your cause.
What You Need To Know About IRS Form 990If you are like any good red-blooded American, the voice in the back of your head is asking "Do I really have to do this?" Short answer: Yup! The fact of the matter is that all tax-exempt organizations with 501(c)(3) status are required to file an IRS Form 990 annually. This is regardless of the amount of donations you receive. If you are unsure about your filing requirement, the Internal Revenue Service offers a list of qualifications if you would like to double check before going forward.
Don't worry I'll wait…….. So yeah you need to file, right? No worries, thousands of organizations around the country need to file annually, and your public will thank you for the openness.
What Type of Form 990 Variation Do I File?While the names might seem confusing, they are fairly straightforward.
Form 990:The one and only, the original Form 990. If your tax-exempt organization's gross receipts are greater than $200,000 and your total assets (art, historical pieces, etc.) are greater than $500,000 then this is the form you are searching for.
Form 990-EZ:If your charitable organization's gross receipts were less than $200,000, and your total assets are less than $500,000 you will need to file Form 990-EZ.
Form 990-N:If your organization's gross receipts for the previous fiscal year was less than $50,000, then this form is for you (Form 990N). This one is actually very different from the other types and is referred to as an e-Postcard.
Before You Start FilingBefore you go charging in make sure you have all of the important information you will need to file. This will include the following information:
- EIN (Employer Identification Number)
- Tax Period
- GEN (Group Exemption Number)
- You will also need information to fill out any required schedules for your organization
990 Schedule A:Every tax-exempt organization needs to file 990 Schedule A. This will tell the IRS more about what type of nonprofit you are, like government, education, environmental, or safety organization. You will also include information about your public support. So this is where you will include information about any gifts or grants you have received in the past year and where they came from.
990 Schedule B:Form 990 Schedule B is based on your contributors (or donors). The rule of thumb is if you receive more than $5,000 from any single donor you are required to file 990 Schedule B.
While these are the most popular schedules, there are 14 other that you could be required to file. These are all specific to the nonprofit type. For the full list of 990 Schedules and explanations click here to visit the IRS website.
When Is The 990 Due Date?Well, I am glad you asked. Your IRS Form 990 deadline is the 15th day of the 5th month after your tax year ends. So if your tax-exempt organization runs on a typical fiscal year, your deadline is May 15th!
Form 990 Deadline:
May 15th, 2018
IRS 990 Filing For NonprofitsNow that you have all the information you need, it is finally time to fill out the form. While you could always go the paper filing route, I do not recommend it for several reasons. But the primary concern is that it takes a lot more time to file on paper, and you run the possibility of making mistakes.
You could always file using an IRS-authorized e-file provider like, oohhh I don't know ..... ExpressTaxExempt. (Hint hint) On top of being approved and trusted by the IRS, we are also partnered with GuideStar. So when you file your IRS Form 990 with us, we will immediately send your information to GuideStar. Instead of waiting months for your form to be processed and then transmitted, GuideStar will immediately publish your information once approved.
But wait there's more! Our step-by-step interview-style process is equipped with built-in audits to ensure error-free filing. And we will automatically include any schedules that are required for filing. Say goodbye to long, mind-numbing hours it used to take to file your IRS Form 990 and say hello to your new friend, ExpressTaxExempt.

Naturally Sweet Apple Pie
When I was a kid, apple pie was my least favorite fruit pie.
Sounds blasphemous, doesn't it?
It is positively unpatriotic to not like apple pie. It is like hating your mother, or burning a flag or admitting to having atheistic thoughts while sitting in front of the baptismal font.
It just isn't often done, certainly not back in the day. It might have led to one being investigated by the House Unamerican Activities Committee or something.
But, the fact is–I really didn't love apple pie. I always thought it was kind of insipid, boring and way, way, way too sweet.
Besides, way too many people made apple pies with that godforsaken canned colorless glop that was mostly sugar and apples that apparently came from places where apples had no flavor.
It wasn't until I was older that I began to appreciate the goodness of a well-made apple pie.
Grandma used to tell me that the best apple pies are made with more than one kind of apples; she always liked to use Jonathans, Grimes Golden and nice tart McIntoshes. I remember her telling me to limit the McIntoshes to one or two to a pie, because when they are cooked, they break down completely into a pulp; she liked that quality because it helped thicken the pie filling so she didn't have to use too much flour and blunt the apple flavor.
But even Grandma's apple pies were too sweet for my taste, generally, because Grandpa liked really sweet desserts. I remember she used to put from three-quarters to one cup of brown sugar in her apple pies, and I always thought that it weakened the complex flavors of the apples themselves.
I still think that most apple pie recipes use way too much sugar, so I decided that I would experiment with using as little sweetener as possible and still make a really good apple pie.
I had read in Ken Haedrick's excellent book, Pie, that one could use apple cider in order to really add a lot of apple flavor to the filling of apple pie; since I add cider to my fried apples in lieu of a lot of sugar, I wondered if I could reduce the sweetening in a pie using the same technique. Haedrick's recipe called for cooking the apples lightly in cider and three quarters of a cup of sugar before draining them and putting them in the pie crust. The reserved cider and juices were them to be reduced down to about one-quarter cup and poured over the apples.
I wasn't sure about cooking the apples, but since I had just read about doing the same thing in the most recent issue of Cook's Illustrated, I decided to give it a go, and see what happened.
But, instead of following the recipe to the letter, I changed it significantly, in order to make an apple pie that more truly suited my taste. Instead of sugar, I used honey, and used only one third of the amount called for. I added crystallized ginger, powdered ginger and golden raisins to the filling, and instead of the all butter crust both the Haedrick and CI recipes called for, I used my typical half-lard, half-butter crust. (And I used utterly magnificent locally produced lard from Harmony Hollow Farms–it was softer than the lard I had been buying from Bluescreek Farms, and very rich. This made it difficult to work with, but the crust was gorgeous–shatteringly crisp and flaky with a voluptuous flavor. I will buy all of the lard I use from Harmony Hollow from now on.)
The resulting pie was quite phenominal. The crust was exceptional, and the filling, which contained four kinds of apples: Ginger Gold, Molly Delicious, Paula Red and McIntosh, was complex and very fragrant. It was both sweet and tart; the honey lent it depth and a lovely golden color and the cider, which was cooked down to a thick jelly, combined with the McIntosh pulp to create a gloriously thick juice that required only a modicum of flour to bind it.
Honey and Cider Sweetened Apple Pie
Pastry for double crust pie
9 1/2 cups of peeled, sliced apples (use at least three different kinds of apples, and include two McIntoshes in the mixture)
3/4 cup apple cider
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon minced crystallized ginger
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground dry ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch cardamom
pinch salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Prepare pastry dough as directed and while it is resting in the refrigerator prior to rolling it out, begin the apple filling.
Combine the apples, cider, honey, crystallized ginger, and golden raisins in a large pot and over medium high heat, bring to a boil and cook, stirring for about five minutes. (The McIntoshes will begin to break down immediately.)
Put strainer over a smaller saucepan and drain apples, allowing cider, honey and juices to fall into pan. Set aside apples.
Cook, stirring, over medium high heat, until liquid reduces to 1/4 cup and thickens to a syrup that will coat your spoon. You will notice at this time that as soon as you remove the syrup from the heat and allow it to begin to cool, it will gel. This is what it is supposed to do.
Put apples in a bowl, and pour syrup over and stir together thoroughly. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
Roll out dough as directed, and line a 9″ pie pan with the bottom crust. Pour apple filling in and top with second crust, as directed in pastry crust recipe.
Place in oven on center rack and bake for thirty minutes, then rotate pie pan 180 degrees. Continue to bake until crust is golden brown and the juices that eminate from the steam vents is thick and tawny gold in color–this will take anywhere from 35-45 minutes.
When pie is done, remove from oven and place on wire rack, and allow to cool to room temperature (or nearly so) before eating.

"Me Like Pie!"
Here endeth the lesson…
And it's certainly nice to see that the appearance of your pies is now matching the wonderous flavour.
Yes, aesthetics are important. Though I tend to consider how a dish looks to be of secondary importance to the flavor and texture of it–it is still important. No one wants to eat something that looks like it went through a war before getting to the plate.

I love this idea of using natural sugar for the pie – thanks for posting the recipe. It looks like it was totally delicious.
Thank you, Luisa.
I tend to think that apples are plenty sweet on their own without any help from big gobs of refined sugar added on top, and I really think that the complexity of the apple's fragrance and flavor is lost if you add too much sweetness.
So many apple pie recipes include lemon juice for no good reason–if you use some amount of tart apples in the first place and don't add too much sugar, you have no need for lemon juice.

What is the weird blue-green object???
My father demanded not-sweet apple pie with a shattering crust and a piece of very old cheddar on the side, so your recipe sounds like a wonderful refinement of what I grew up eating.
Comment by wwjudith — September 23, 2005 #
Your father sounds like a traditionalist, Judith.
That weird object is the silicone spatula that I stirred the cider and honey with as it reduced to a syrup-jelly. I was trying to show how thick the liquid became–it clings to the surface of whatever stirring implement is used and when it cools it turns into jelly.
Mayhap I should have mentioned some of that by way of explanation of the odd photograph….oops!

What a glorious recipe. Now, this could make me an apple pie lover.
While growing up, eating apple pie was a tribulation. It was marginally better than getting those looks ("What? Are you one of those pinko commie unAmerican dislikers of Apple Pie?"). (Growing up in New Hampshire at the time, "pinko commie" was, if not actually said, frequently implied. 😉
My mother was a superb cook of cakes, cookies and made ambrosial fudge. Apple pie was not her forte. (Now I'm in for it, I dissed both apple pie and Mom – got any American flags? :-D)
Jackhammer-hard pie crusts vaulting emptily over a bed of crunchy and rubbery apples sitting on a gooey bottom paste, just didn't appeal to me. My great-aunt Dora's pies were, uh, pale. (She's the only person I knew who both peeled and parboiled rhubarb to make pie: "to get rid of all that nasty color" – and flavor.) Her pie couldn't be much of anything but slightly sweet; there was so little flavor at all. Her crusts were great though. In fact, I'd eat her pie crusts and leave the filling. Now, Mrs. Whitaker across the way from us made a, uh, flavorful pie, but, the closer she neared 100, the more seasoning she felt it needed. I suspect she used more nutmeg than apples.
Needless to say (now that I've said it), apple pie was not one of the joyful memories of youth for me.
Now, your pie, here, sounds ambrosial. Just reading the recipe is satisfying.
I can't wait to try it myself.
Comment by Dan Jenkins — March 17, 2006 #
You will like it, Dan. Later on, I further refined the recipe by adding ginger wine, golden raisins and fresh quince.
That pie is a good one, too. I think the name of the post is "Putting History Into a Pie Crust."
I must say that this (Your) method is truly the best apply pie recipe ever and all in my family use this method. I do NOT care for those that say pile on the sliced apples over the crust and bake – they just taste awful. Here the apples are smothered in their own juices and then baked and I think its just divine !
I will try your recipe of course the next time as my kids just love apple pie this way.
Also u have a wonderful site !

Thanks for the wonderful pie recipe! It is the best apple pie I have made yet! I serve apple pie every Thanksgiving. The pie I made from your recipe is now sitting in the middle of our table. We are blessed!
Comment by Will Rainford — November 21, 2007 #
Carol–Good apple pie is wonderful. Bad apple pie–oh, it is tribulation on a plate. I am glad to know that I am not the only one to advocate partially cooking the apples, and smothering them in their own juices and using as little sugar as possible.
I feel great kinship for your family.
Will–talk about coincidence–my very own pie using this recipe is now in the oven. I am glad that you liked the pie–this year I did add a few dried cranberries along with the golden raisins, and I used the ginger wine, again.
It smells amazing. I just have to say so.
I am glad to have helped bless your family with wonderful pie this year–I will be thinking of y'all tomorrow when we sit down to our apple pie.

Classroom rules are important to your class community. When students have rules, they know what your expectations are for them. They know what you want them to do, and they know that there are consequences for failing to follow the rules.
Making Classroom Rules
When it comes to creating classroom rules, consider including your students in the process. As students take part in making the rules, they take ownership in the rules. They'll will work to follow them and make sure that their classmates are following them, too. Of course, you can sway your students to choose ones that encompass all the necessary rules for your classroom. Think about some of the top classroom rules to help you.
Top Classroom Rules
Although you should stick to 4 or 5 rules, here are the top 10 classroom rules for elementary schools for your consideration:
- Be on time at the beginning of the day and after lunch or recess breaks.
- Come prepared with supplies and completed homework.
- Be kind, polite, and courteous to others.
- Keep your hands and feet to yourself.
- Be respectful of classmates, teachers, and property.
- Listen to the teacher and classmates, and follow directions.
- Work hard, and always do your best.
- Be safe!
- Raise your hand when you would like to speak in class or if you need to leave the classroom for any reason (e.g., going to the bathroom, visiting the nurse, etc.)
- Obey all school rules.
Tips to Consider
When choosing from the top 10 classroom rules, try to cover every behavioral issue that could come up on any given day. Some of the common classroom management issues include talking out of turn, bothering classmates, failing to stay on task, or failing to follow directions. Ask yourself, "do our rules cover these problems and others that students might struggle with this year?" If not, you might want to rethink them.
Also, write the rules as clear and specific as possible. Then, discuss them with your students in order to set classroom expectations. They should understand exactly what the rules are, how they apply, and what the consequences are for failing to follow them.

What is Microneedling exactly?
Microneedling, as the name implies, utilizes micro needles to rejuvenate areas of the skin. The micro needles are on the tip of an electric pen (Eclipse Micropen) that glides across the skin. The needles create tiny punctures in the dermis to create a controlled skin injury, which causes it to react by healing itself. Once this healing process starts, it gives the skin a chance to repair scarring, create collagen (which treats wrinkles and fine lines), thus providing you with smoother looking skin.
What to expect during the treatment?
Microneedling can be used on different areas of the body. Common Microneedling treatment areas include the face, neck, decollete and arms. The area is prepped with a topical numbing agent to decrease any discomfort. Because the needles move so quickly, patients don't typically feel like they are being punctured by needles. It feels more like a hairbrush or sandpaper gliding across your skin. The level of discomfort or pain is minimal, although for scars you may need a deeper treatment which could produce more sensation.
Following your Microneedling treatment, your skin may be red (like a sunburn) for one to three days. It could also be a bit sensitive so it's best to avoid anything harsh or acidic on the surface of the treatment area. You'll be more specifically advised during your consultation—given detailed instruction on what to do to prepare for your treatment, as well as what's to follow.
Difference between Microneedling and Laser Treatments
Lasers, while can be very effective, simply aren't always the best option for everyone. For one, lasers cannot be used on all skin types. With Microneedling, it is safe for all skin types and there are minimal risks associated with this treatment. Not only is it a chemical-free treatment, but it doesn't require any heating or cooling of the skin, which may damage surrounding tissue. It simply allows your skin to repair itself in the safest way possible. Laser treatments also cause more discomfort and downtime.

In part 2 of this series, I talk about why face time is essential; the two types of realtime communication tool which should form the backbone of your day to day interactions as a dispersed team; and why instant messaging can do more harm than good. If you missed Part 1 of this series, you may want to go back and read it. Face Time A little face-to-face communication goes a long way with remote work. A day spent working with a teammate in person can change the whole character of your subsequent online interactions. Before, they were a screen name and an avatar.

Is decluttering wasteful if you're living on a budget? What if you're living on a low income and can't afford to buy something again if you realize you need it later?

And this time, the tubes are invisible.
Over the next few weeks, Earthlink and Wireless Philly will be launching the much-discussed WiFi service across some 12 neighborhoods in Northeast Philadelphia. Northern Liberties, Fishtown and Port Richmond — you all score. Nicetown, G-town and Frankford — not so much.
And Earthlink is already selling the service online.
Granted, you might have to hold your computer out the window to pick up a signal, but hell, that still beats having the Comcast technician pass out on your couch, right?
Speaking of Comcast, is it just us or have they been surprisingly quiet about the whole thing recently? Didn't they used to be, like, pretty vocal about their opposition to the whole thing? (Oh right, we remember… unlike a certain progressive, wildly successful media/technology company based in Mountain View, CA, who embraced the idea and helped their hometown be at the forefront of a global trend — Comcast reacted to the idea with astonishing close-mindedness.)
Maybe it's because they're busy with their smear campaign against cable competition in Pennsylvania with commercials claiming "Verizon only wants to provide cable to rich people." Or maybe it's because they're secretly planning to use their new Comcast Center as a giant wireless router for the whole city.
Whatever the reason, they're surely up to something.
A whopping 11% of the 135 square miles to be covered by WiFi… might be soon [KYW]
Earthlink wants you, Philadelphia

I live in Northern Liberties and put my address into the Earthlink page - no dice.
The Earthlink signal that I have been picking up on my wifi in No Libs wants to charge ridiculous amounts by the hour day or week. It would be be cheaper to go with comcast. Or, even better, stick with varying use of the 4 other signals that I pick up for free in my home.

Trekking in Patagonia
Patagonia is a trekking destination like no other. Incredible, non-polar glaciers surround pristine lakes. The thick vegetation of the Andes is cut through with monumental, serrated stones rising high above treeline, and backpackers are wonderfully infinitesimal in relation.
An area within the future Patagonia National Park has an increasing number of trails, and one official loop named Lagunas Altas is being established now. The trail starts at the park headquarters and climbs in the direction of Tamangito Peak, traverses a ridge around several lakes, and descends back to the trailhead. Expansive views of the Aviles Valley are a prime attraction.
Similarly, a new route has opened linking the trekking capital of El Chalten, Argentina to the trekking capital of Villa O'Higgins in Chile. The 133 km trek passes through the Southern Patagonia Ice Field. The new passage roughly follows Route 40, and can be biked, hiked, or traveled by horseback. Ultimately, what has allowed the linkage is the inclusion of boat rides across two lakes. The tour company Say Hueque has established the new route, and offers amenities along the way.
While not a new route, the classic Torres del Paine National Park hike deserves mention. The trail circles the eponymous peaks, which must be seen to be believed. A five-day hike wanders through the park and around the peaks. Few choose to attempt the summit; most simply enjoy the views from the already strenuous trail. Despite the untouched landscape, refugios are arranged at practical locations, offering comfortable cabins for weary travelers. Most choose to camp.
If You Go
Should you choose to check Patagonia off your bucket list, consider making on of these newer routes your adventure. These extended treks can be a good way to experience what is wild and pristine, deep in the wilderness. The tour by Say Hueque sounds like a novel and varied way to make your crossing.

Welcome to Mrs. Ricotta's
Second Grade
Welcome to your child's second grade classroom! I am excited to begin a new year! My goal as your child's teacher is to facilitate your child's academic, social, personal, and spiritual growth. In order to help your child reach his/her potential in these areas I will be using a variety of materials and methods.
Here's a little about myself: I graduated from Trinity Christian University in Deerfield with a Bachelors of Arts in Elementary Education, and from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb with my Masters of Science in Education.
This is my eighth year teaching Second Grade at St. Thomas More. I also taught sixth grade part time, and second grade in Niles as well as Lake Zurich. I am married with three children. We have a Golden Retriever named Bentley, and two canaries named Mac and Cheese.
Here is a link to an all time favorite music video:

Yay for weekend style! You can't beat a super casual outfit with bright accents on a lazy day, can you? Sure it's not the most visually interesting outfit out there, but sometimes you need a little casual in your life. Besides, the bright yellow and coral add a bit of Springy punch to it that maybe will usher in the season that much quicker!
So don't say I never did anything for you because it's always Spring-like in Los Angeles. That's right, I'm doing this all for you! Philanthropist of the year? I think so.

Natasha Meister Band – Half Way
Half Way may be a strange title for a debut album but it's certainly a good start for South African based, Canadian light rock singer, NATASHA MEISTER.
I was expecting easy listening (which is what i got) as the 11 tracks carry titles such as 'This Desire' and 'Good Thang'. Natasha sings about love, hope and sadness, a regular gamut of emotions that doesn't plumb the depths of honesty yet is delivered with sufficient sincerity so that the music can't be dismissed. Touching on blues, soul and R&B gives variation which is always accompanied by solid guitar work that rises into its own beauty on 'Winter Storm'.
Touring has gotten the word out that the NATASHA MEISTER BAND is good live. Garnering praise from the likes of Ard Matthews (of Just Jinjer fame) certainly helps:Â "I heard Natasha for the first time in December 2011 and was blown away by her distinctive voice and raw talent. The world will hear about her pretty soon I suspect."
Natasha's voice is as sultry as she is sexy which doesn't harm the music at all. She'd fit well on a stage with the likes of foot-tapping John Mayer, Allanah Myles and Tim Pepper. Half-Way is a warm start with the promise of a full career.
PS: Look out for the beautiful hidden track, 'Love Boat'.

The health and climate impacts of available household cooking options in developing countries vary sharply. Here, we analyze and compare these impacts (health; climate) and the potential co-benefits from the use of fuel and stove combinations. Our results indicate that health and climate impacts span 2 orders of magnitude among the technologies considered. Indoor air pollution is heavily impacted by combustion performance and ventilation; climate impacts are influenced by combustion performance and fuel properties including biomass renewability. Emission components not included in current carbon trading schemes, such as black carbon particles and carbon monoxide, can contribute a large proportion of the total climate impact. Multiple 'improved' stove options analyzed in this paper yield roughly equivalent climate benefits but have different impacts on indoor air pollution. Improvements to biomass stoves can improve indoor air quality, which nonetheless remains significantly higher than for stoves that use liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons. LPG- and kerosene-fueled stoves have unrivaled air quality benefits and their climate impacts are also lower than all but the cleanest stoves using renewable biomass.

Benefits of 501(c)(3) Filing
The main reason why charities decide to file for 501(c)(3) status, or exempt status, is for the tax benefits. Charities with exempt status may avoid a number of federal and state taxes, including corporate tax, excise tax and sales tax. Further, donations to the charity are deductible for donors, and there are a number of grant opportunities that are only available to exempt charities. Similarly, exempt charities often receive discounts on health insurance, space rentals, and other business discounts. Depending on the state the nonprofit is organized in, there may be limited liability for the directors and officers in the operation of the organization. Finally, as long as the nonprofit remains in compliance with IRS regulations, the nonprofit organization will survive all existing members and will exist in perpetuity until it is dissolved. That is to say that organizations only need to apply for 501(c)(3) status once and it lasts indefinitely.
Obligations and Restrictions
Exempt organizations have a number of obligations and restrictions, meaning that 501(c)(3) status is not appropriate for every charity. A major restriction is that exempt organizations may not participate in political activity, nor may a substantial part of the organization's activities consist of lobbying. However, there may be a different tax classification, such as 501(c)(4), which does allow for political activity. On the other hand, donations to 501(c)(4) organizations are not deductible. Further, once exempt status is acquired, organizations must make their financial and board meeting records available to the public, and a Form 990 must be filed annually with the IRS, which may be onerous for some organizations. Further, profits of an exempt organization may not be distributed to the members or officers of the organization, but instead must be used to further the purpose of the nonprofit.
Without 501(c)(3) Status
Some charities, particularly those that are on the smaller side, forgo the 501(c)(3) application. The charity may register as a nonprofit within the state so that the board and staff are not personally liable for the debts of the nonprofit. However, without the IRS designation, donations to the charity will not be tax deductible, and they may miss out on a number of grants. For this reason, many smaller charities seek a fiscal sponsor, which allows a larger nonprofit with exempt status to offer their exempt status to the smaller organization that has a similar mission. Donations all go to the larger nonprofit, which then sends the money to the smaller charity, allowing the donor to take a tax deduction. If a charity does not pursue 501(c)(3) status, they may owe taxes on their income.
How to File
For those charities that want to pursue 501(c)(3) status, there are a number of required steps to take. First, the charity must form a board of directors which will guide the charity's activities. The board will draft bylaws, a mission and a purpose for the nonprofit. Then, the charity must file for an Employment Identification Number (EIN), which will be used on all incorporating forms. An EIN may be acquired from the IRS website. The next step is to file the articles of incorporation with the secretary of state in the state where the organization is located. The articles must include a number of required provisions regarding dissolution, charitable purpose, and distribution of profits that are compliant with the IRS. The final step is to file Form 1023 with the IRS in application for 501(c)(3) status. The form is quite detailed and may require a considerable amount of time for a novice to complete. Once the application is submitted, the IRS may take several weeks to several months to issue a determination.

For Eagles to be Crows
The "For Eagles to be Crows" programs were aired on KDSU in 1973. Later the programs were aired on radio stations in Minnesota, New Mexico, Massachusetts, and North Dakota. The programs were intended to facilitate interracial understanding and allow the Native American people of North Dakota the opportunity to speak about their past, their future, and what is important to them from their own point of view. The programs are divided into three sections, the first sections contains the heritage of the Native American people on the Fort Berthold, Fort Totten, Standing Rock and Turtle Mountain Reservations. The second section contains an overview of federal agency program trends and policies, and the third section contains a discussion of problems experienced by the Native American people.
The producer of the project was Sharon Cobb, associate producer was JoAnn Logan. The narrator was John L. Tipton, program manager of KDSU. Other assistants were Mary Metzger and John Hetland. KDSU received the American Bar Association's Certificate of Merit in the Gavel Awards Competition in 1974 for the series.
The title was taken from a quote by Sitting Bull in 1876, "If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man He would have made me so in the first place. He put in your heart certain wishes and plans. In my heart he put other and different desires. Each man is good in his sight. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows."
Work on this collection was completed by Rebecca Keightley as part of her internship with Sociology and Anthropology.

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo| 东京椿山庄大酒店
Welcome to Tokyo! As you guys might have seen on our social medias, we spent some time in Japan since we wanted to experience completely different culture from what we knew so far. We choose Hotel Chinzanso for a few nights; a former Four Seasons Hotel. Hotel Chinzanso is an oasis in the heart of the urban landscape of the Japanese capital.
The Japanese gardens with the waterfalls, an ancient Pagoda, the ponds, and variety of millenary trees makes this place unique and totally worth it! You can smell the nature while enjoying the sounds of the birds or the waterfall. Definitely, peace and quiet moments are exultant in the buzzing Tokyo. Thus, and thanks to the possibilities the garden offers, Chinzanso is a trendy place for weddings and to have a totally different experience.
The rooms are really spacious, and some of them on currently refurbished. The 90C room is the best of them, offering view on the mythic garden and overtaking the city. There are different well-known Japanese restaurants where you can find the Kobe beef cooked over lava stone.
There is nothing much to do around. The neighborhood being quiet, it is hard to find a nice restaurant around. We tried our last night and we finally ended up moving to the city center by metro. A lovely 15min walk is required to reach the nearest public transportation, but is part of the charm of the hotel.
Our most enjoyable moment was having the breakfast with view, our table facing the garden and the pagoda! You can choose either Japanese, either Western breakfast. To be honest, we were reluctant with the idea of eating fish as soon as waking up. Therefore, every morning started our days in The Bistrot, appreciating the a-la-carte western cuisine. It was perfect! Starting with fresh yogurt covered of syrup, followed by eggs benedict with truffle cut in front of us, and crêpe spinach omelet. Delicious! Free flow of fresh smoothies, coffee and tea was completing the perfect way to start our day.
The service and staff is excellent, helpful and attentive to every single detail. I got sick upon our arrival. Without any request, the team sent shortly to our room warm tea and a fresh juice a kind hand written note. The hotels proposed other restaurants we did not have the chance to experience (some located in the garden, cooking traditional Japanese cuisine, charm full, quiet and confidential, another proposing English Style high tea...). Please have a look at their website here below to know more about it.
Stay tuned for our next stop in Tokyo, x.

VA's IG reports Secretary Shulkin wrongly accepts Wimbledon tickets
"Hey look kids, there's Big Ben, and there's Parliament... again."
The VA's Inspector General has come out against the agency head, Secretary David J. Shulkin, regarding his trip to Denmark and the UK last summer. The focus of the investigation is the few days the secretary spent in London with his wife during their 10-day trip.
The IG report hasn't been released yet – it could come out this week, but USA Today managed to get a copy of the rebuttal letter from Shulkin's lawyers. The lawyers, of course, are saying the investigation was biased against Shulkin and that the report is unfair and inaccurate.
The official side of the trip consisted of meetings in Denmark from July 12 to 14 and then a conference on veterans' issues in London, which took place from July 18 to 20. The issue at hand are the four days in-between the two official meetings. During this time, Shulkin and his wife played tourist and saw two palaces: Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral, did a Thames River cruise and had dinner in Piccadilly Circus.
According to USA Today, the IG found four major problems with the Shulkin's mini-vacation while in London. First, the trip might actually be going against a cost-savings directive that Shulkin actually implemented for VA leaders, just before the trip. Basically, the trip may not qualify as "essential travel." Then, there's the problem with tax payers picking up the travel check for Shulkin's wife, Dr. Merle Bari.
"There was no taxpayer dollars associated with it," Shulkin was reported saying in a USA Today article back in October. He also said that Dr. Bari's coach airfare had been approved by the VA's ethics office. It looks like the IG report will take the opposite view, that not only should the airfare not have been approved, but that the amount of free time during the trip was not the best use of taxpayer money.
The other two sticky points are that it looks like the Secretary used VA staff on official time to arrange personal sightseeing trips. And then there's the Wimbledon tickets.
Government employees have very strict rules when it comes to accepting gifts. Civil Servants can accept a gift, as long as it's valued at $20 or less and there's a calendar year limit total of $50 from the same person. I can't say exactly how much the tickets cost that they were given, but a search for Wimbledon tickets today gives a range of $953 to $2,763.
It's a bit over the limit.
The tickets were a gift from a person, Victoria Gosling, who works with the Invictus Games UK, which is a sporting event for wounded warriors. The Shulkin's met Gosling during an event in the States. Gosling didn't have official business with the VA and gave the couple the tickets only after she found out her sister couldn't attend the tennis match. On its own, this wouldn't raise eyebrows. Friends can give friends who happen to be government employees gifts. Only during an interview with investigators, Gosling forgot Bari's name.
Shulkin's European vacation is just one part of the Trump Administration Cabinet level travel drama. Tom Price resigned from Health and Human Services after he spent at least $400k of tax money on chartered flights. Department of the Interior's IG opened an investigation last year into Secretary Ryan Zinke's travel. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin had yet another IG investigation on his travel and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is still under investigation.
These investigations and the reporting done on his trip caused the VA to create a new website that lists all the official travel taken by the Secretary. This site not only lists the trips, but who accompanies the secretary and itineraries are included as well.
Shulkin's lawyers say he did nothing improper. A department spokesman says Shulkin "travels far less than any recent VA secretary" and takes no private jets.

When I was a kid my parents had a huge dictionary that sat on a shelf on the wall unit in our family room. It was so big that it took up the entire shelf, all by itself. It sat right down near the ground because it was so heavy you couldn't really pick it up (or at least I couldn't) and you kind of had to slide it off the shelf and onto the carpet in order to open it.
It's probably been almost 20 years since I've seen it but if I close my eyes I can picture the cover as though it were yesterday. Whenever I opened it the spine would crack, making a very satisfying noise, and it had those finger holes along the side, marking where each new letter started. The pages were whisper thin and would slide through my hands like silk. I remember running my fingers across the letters, in awe of the fact that I had in my possession one book that held all of the words in the world (or so I thought at the time).
I remember running downstairs at random, just to pull that huge book off the shelf and look up a word, any word, it didn't really matter which one. I would read it over and over, rolling the sound of it around in my mouth, trying to memorize the meaning to ensure I used it properly. Even then, I knew there were few things in life worse than using a word incorrectly.
My parents have moved three times since leaving my childhood home and somewhere along the way, the dictionary was discarded, along with the set of encyclopedias and the record player, lost to downsizing space and upgrading technology.
Now I guess we are supposed to look words up online, using one of the dozens of electronic dictionaries that now exist. I really feel like it's lost some of the magic though. You can't run your fingers across a computer screen and be inspired by all of the words your fingers touch. Well, maybe some people can, but I'm more of a "hard copy" girl.
So the other day when I was cleaning out a shelf in my basement and I came across a smaller, and less fancy version of that dictionary, I took a pause. It took my mind a minute to go back to the place in my memory where this particular dictionary existed but I finally got there. I majored in Journalism in university and one of my professors mandated that each of us purchase a dictionary. Not a pocket-sized one but a full-size, unabridged, Canadian dictionary. 'Canadian' so that colour would be spelled colour and not color, which belongs to our neighbours to the south. That's neighbours spelled neighbours, not neighbors. You get the idea. And so I went out and bought one, used it frequently over my four-year university career and then promptly packed it away and forgot about it.
But for some reason I have kept it all these years, making move after move after move, packed in box after box and unpacked onto shelf after shelf. I don't know why. I can't even remember the last time I cracked it open but something stopped me from getting rid of it.
And the other day when I rediscovered it again, after all these years, I pulled it off the shelf in the basement and took it upstairs to the room where I do my writing. There's nothing pretty about it. It has a bright red cover that has been bent and folded over years spent being shuffled around. The pages aren't smooth or shiny, but rather are kind of rough and, if I hold them close enough, have a faint dusty odour. It's also horribly outdated; and probably was even when I bought it. The word 'Internet' does not have an entry, nor does 'texting' and 'friend' exists purely as a noun and not the "he friended me on Facebook" verb version that (wrongly) exists today.
But as soon as I saw it, I was instantly drawn to it. I put it on a shelf right beside the computer so I can see it whenever I sit down to put fingers to keyboard. Something about seeing it there inspires me. Something about realizing all those words are there, all lined up neatly on pages, waiting for me to discover them, makes me want to write. I feel like whenever I get stuck, I can just close my eyes, open it up and pick a word, any word, and use it as a starting point. A starting point for something that probably won't be brilliant and it probably won't be amazing but it will be something, and at the very least I will be sure to use the word correctly.
It's not the beautiful book I remember from my childhood but maybe one day I will have a writing room big enough to hold a bookshelf, a bookshelf with a space right close to the bottom that could fit one like that amazing book I remember. In the meantime, I'll settle for the one I have, and all of it's 90,000 words.
After all, everyone needs somewhere to start.
start – v., n. 1. to get in motion; set out; begin a journey; 2. begin; 3. set moving, going, acting, etc.
(The Gage Canadian Dictionary – copyright 1983)

BindView upgrade helps customers ease into Win2k
BindView's Managed Migration Initiative strives to simplify the transition from Windows NT to Windows2000. Three products in BindView's bv-Admin suite were updated to make up the MMI package, which will be available August 1. Amongst the improvements that change the face of bv-Admin are MMI's new resource migration, security, internationalization, and Exchange administration tools.
BindView Corporation's new Managed Migration Initiative promises to take the complexity out of migrating scores of users to Microsoft Windows 2000.
Available August 1, Managed Migration Initiative is comprised of three products that update BindView bv-Admin suite for Windows. The MMI suite consists of bv-Admin for Windows 2000 4.1, bv-Admin for Windows 2000 Migration 4.1 and bv-Admin for Exchange 4.1.
Third party migration products like BindView's MMI can be lifesavers for enterprises with over 1,000 users, said Gartner Group research director Michael Silver. Some companies do find the migration tools included in the Windows2000 operating system sufficient, but they're too basic for more complex environments. The market is ripe for tools like MMI, he said, because "enterprises have underestimated the value of migration tools."
MMI is more than an incremental upgrade of bv-Admin, because it expands the suite's functionality so dramatically, said Silas Matteson, Vice President of bv-Admin Development at Houston, TX-based BindView. Amongst the improvements that change the face of bv-Admin are MMI's new resource migration, security, internationalization, and Exchange administration tools.
Focusing on the bv-Admin for Windows2000 Migration 4.1 piece, Matteson said the rewritten resource migration component is a key improvement because it now includes full rollback support.
"I can do a trial migration on a file on a file server, and I can find out ahead of time who has all the permissions on them and take whatever actions I want in a pure trial mode, actually do all the migrations and, if need be, do a rollback," Matteson said. On both resource projects and account projects, trial migrations can be done before the actual migration.
Furthermore, Matteson said, "you can run a trial with us, get the errors and then go in and fix those errors in the trial and then rerun it and just run the errors." The product allows you to overwrite the data with the fixed errors.
Another key feature is Security ID (SID) history cleanup, according to Matteson, whereby users can still use their same ID even if they have other accounts. As with the rollback feature, SID history cleanup has added data synchronization capabilities to allow the migration of a file and later be able to migrate any changes to that file since the migration started. There is also the flexibility to migrate data offline using a third party mechanism.
"One of the nice little twists to that, for SID history cleanup, it's not limited to just our products. In other words, if a customer has migrated accounts over with NetIQ or some other product, they can still use our product for SID history cleanup," Mattson concluded.
The last added element to the bv-Admin for Windows2000 Migration 4.1 is what BindView calls "migrating password manager trustees." When users are setup on the new Windows platform, they do not have to re-delegate all the places they were set up on with NT. Essentially, user's roles are also migrated, said Matteson.
Additional enhancements to the bv-Admin for Windows2000 4.1 include improvements in the Find-n-Fix tools, which query the directory to find information, and managed collections that control all Windows 2000 resources. Also, internationalization support offers the ability to support European-based platforms.
The MMI bv-Admin for Exchange 4.1 also offers improvements in Find-n-Fix capabilities. Other improvements include role-based delegation support for Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000 and co-management of Exchange and directory objects.
A twelve-month license for the bv-Admin Managed Migration Initiative is $9.95 per month with the option to extend or get a permanent license.
How does it work?
Through the Managed Migration Initiative's assessment and analysis, customers understand what they have and how it is going to be migrated, Matteson said. BindView calls this "model and migrate."
"We can build these virtual organizational units (OUs) on NT as a way to not only road test and get used to how Active Directory works, because it's exactly the same [as on Windows] but when you're ready, it's literally push button. You just specify that OU in a project and it all gets migrated," said Matteson. "Bv-Admin creates OU's in Windows NT that are 100% compatible with OUs in Active Directory, thus making it a great tool for helping to get ready for Active Directory while still operating off Windows NT."
The virtual OU method acts as a test, but Matteson also said it's a good way for customers to organize physically how they will migrate all their accounts, computers and files over.
Matteson compared migrating to Windows2000 to moving. One box is not used to pack up the entire house, he said. Each room is packed up in different boxes. "How you load the truck is dependent on the order of how you want to unload," he said.
Therefore, "you can use these OUs purely as boxes to facilitate what gets moved in what order because it's completely virtual," Matteson said.
After the "road test," when customers feel comfortable, they can enable the migration via a Web-based interface called "self-service account activation." Users will receive an e-mail to complete the activation, which also tells them about their new account.
"We give you a nice, logical, manageable process for transitioning users over to the new environment without flooding the help desk with tons of calls," Matteson said.
Chris Wilburn, Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Solutions at BindView, summed up the product: "Our overall solutions allow you to assess up front, 'What is the configuration of my environment?' before you even thing about migrating or even modeling."
By using third-party migration products like MMI, IT managers will have access to enhanced reporting tools, which allow companies to understand where they are now; added cleanup capabilities; and the option to backout of the migration if it is not going as planned, Gartner's Silver said.
As most companies can't migrate in a weekend, companies who choose migration tools have the security of knowing the migration will be done more easily over time, said Silver. "Migration tools give you a much better way to plan to move certain users."
