Annual contributions of any amount from alumni have a significant impact on the University's rise in excellence. Annual gifts are an important factor in national rankings, which attract top students, faculty, and grants. Gifts to the University help to fill a gap of about $8,000 between the cost of tuition and the cost of educating a student at UM, enabling the University to achieve key priorities outlined in the provost's strategic plan, Accelerating Ambition.
Alumni annual gifts are a significant source of unrestricted support, gifts that are applied toward the most pressing needs across the University each year. They help meet urgent funding challenges that arise each year, which makes an immediate and tangible difference for current UM students.
Every day, University of Miami undergraduates count on scholarship gifts from UM alumni. Scholarships give bright young Hurricanes the chance to break through financial barriers and grasp the tremendous opportunity of a UM education.
From study abroad to sustainability, computer science to creative arts, the University of Miami offers more areas of study than any other private research university of comparable size. Expanding the on- and off-campus activities that foster intellectual and personal growth is a major priority for alumni annual contributions.
Graduate students are the next generation of leaders who will help solve some of society's most complex problems. Competition for top graduate students across the country is fierce, so providing the fellowships and stipends that attract these students is critical in maintaining a world-class university.

The impact of your annual gift is powerful. Collectively, annual gifts influence the University's ability to meet new opportunities and emerging needs while also honoring the timeless tradition of giving to the U. The newly established Loyalty Society recognizes committed alumni donors whose annual gifts serve as the foundation for the University of Miami's growth.
Gifts of any amount, to any area of the University, given for two or more consecutive fiscal years count toward Loyalty Society participation. Alumni donors will qualify for membership upon their second consecutive year of making a gift every fiscal year. (May 31-June 1)
Loyalty Society members receive a membership packet and invitations to donor recognition receptions and other special events. It's the least we can do to say thank you to those who make a profound and lasting impact through their dedicated giving.

Assistant Director, Annual Giving, Retention & Stewardship
Young alumni—those who graduated within the past ten years—play an important role in helping the University of Miami to become the next great American university. When young alumni stay engaged through annual giving, they feel great about giving back and strengthen their lifelong connection to the U. This year, through the Goldstein Family Challenge, young alumni have the opportunity to work with fellow 'Canes to help the University reach unprecedented levels of greatness.
Back in February, UM Alumni Sandy, BBA '81, MBA '85, and Cindy Goldstein, BSN '79 and their son, Sean Goldstein, BBA '12 pledged to make a gift of $25,000 to need-based scholarships, if 2,013 young or GOLD alumni (graduates of the last decade), make a contribution of any amount, anywhere within the University of Miami before May 31st.
Great news, on April 30th, we reached the initial goal of 2,013 young alumni donors! Now, in the Bonus Round, we need an additional 387 donors for a total of 2,400 before May 31st to receive an additional $10,000 gift (on top of the original $25,000) from the Goldstein Family to support need-based scholarships for deserving students!
Let's stand together – every 'Cane giving whatever is meaningful to each of them. Together we can get this Bonus Round and continue to create scholarships for future Miami graduates. DO the 'Canes thing today! Stand up and for your fellow Hurricanes, make your gift and be counted today!
Every gift to UM makes a difference, and no one else can do your part.
Today Sean is #1 in the Goldstein Family Challenge by making his first gift to UM.
What will your number be? Make your gift today and join your fellow young alumni.

If your employer has a matching gift program, you can maximize the power of your gift to the University of Miami. Thousands of companies offer to match all or a percentage of employee contributions to charitable organizations, making the employer a partner in your personal philanthropy. Best of all, you are recognized by UM for the full amount of your gift plus any resulting corporate match.

Great article. But there were a few splurgy items on the recommended list -- let's be honest, if you don't take care of your skin to begin with, you're not going to shell out $140 on a repairing cream.

I believe that for the busy person who really does not take care of their skin this is a very good article. We know that they will not heed to all the suggestions, but, if they take one or 2 points away it will be to their benefit.

by yetunde Monday, March 14, 2011 at 12:48PM Report as inappropriate
@Isis04 The clinique ones are way too harsh for me, even the mild. They worked for me in my teens, but my skin is way too dry now. Try one called a softener, like the ones from Shiseido. My skin is very reactive and prone to painful acne from time to time. Bliss has one that is nice as well.
by GlamAllure99 Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 01:28PM Report as inappropriate
I think the simpler the routine, the better. The easier that your skin care regimen is, the more likely you are to always stick with it. Always wash your face as soon as you are in for the night, once you laze around and watch TV it will be a pain to do later. Also on those nights that you can't make it to the sink, keep some face-cleaning wipes on your nightstand so you can get all the makeup and gunk off of your face.

I need to do some "spring cleaning" in my facial care stuff (that's for sure). I also like the idea of keeping baby wipes near the bed (I'm notorious for going to bed with makeup on!).

I use a pukka rosewater as my toner but after using cleanser I like to use a muslin cloth very wet with warm water and wipe over all my skin, neck and decollatege area, this refreshes really well and feels lovely and clean, then I apply a light moisturiser before bed !

I agree with 7 of the 9 that they mentioned in the article; however, the comment made for the toner and higher spf I am totally disagreeing with. I swear by toner after my cleaning and pre-moisturizing regime. I know for a fact that when I skip that step my skin sees a noticeable difference. Also my skin when I use a lower SPF my skin also sees a difference, and this is backed by dermatologists. This article is a hit and miss.

Occupy The Military Industrial Complex 2.0 Photos

I'm glad OLA is against U.S./NATO wars in the Middle East
Submitted by barahona on
Unfortunately, one OLA participant, Clay Claiborne, has written over 100 pro-war articles in The Daily KOS, and now identifies himself as Clay Claiborne of Occupy Los Angeles.
Most of the articles cheer for the NATO bombing and overthrow of the Libyan government. After this overthrow, the West installed a bunch of gangsters and technocrats (and gangster technocrats) who immediately gave away Libya's oil to, you got it, NATO powers and the United States. There are also thousands of people being held in prisons without charges, and many have been tortured an extrajudicially murdered.
The rest of Mr. Claiborne's articles are focused on promoting the arming of the Western-backed militias who are murdering Syrian police, soldiers and civilians daily, including the infamous al-Houla massacre. Claiborne would love to see NATO bomb Syria just like it bombed Libya, and the extremist militias overthrow the Syrian government. Then the West would install another neoliberal government of gangster technocrats who would give away Syria's natural gas to, you got it, the NATO powers and the United States. They would also waste no time in building hostile military bases right on Iran's border.
Clay does not represent
Submitted by lizsavage on
Clay does not represent Occupy Los Angeles and has not participated in ANYTHING we have been doing since October after he broke solidarity by printing out flyers with occupiers photos and names on them and distributing them, denouncing the people on the flyers. He was not been denounced officially at OLA, but his presence at our meetings, and events is not welcomed by many, if at all any, and this has been made perfectly clear to him by many participants.
My words represent myself and not Occupy Los Angeles. @lizsavage on Twitter
People who use Occupy's name to push their own agenda
Submitted by barahona on
Thanks very much for that clarification. Since I pointed this out publicly, Clay has stopped using OLA's good name to push for war on Syria. Now if we could only get Pham Binh to stop using OWS's name to do pro-war propaganda!

Climate debt news
Our campaign for climate justice
Whilst rich countries are responsible for most of the emissions pumped into the atmosphere it is the poorest communities in the world that are being hit the hardest by climate change. But rather than providing compensation for causing climate change rich countries are using it to trap the world's poor into new and dangerous climate debt. WDM is campaigning for climate justice for developing countries.
What is WDM doing?
We want to ensure that the UK pays its climate debt instead of locking poor countries into further unjust debt by providing loans to help deal with climate change.

Why does the UK owe a climate debt?
Rich countries like the UK have become wealthy by industrialising in a way that has pushed the world to the brink of catastrophic climate change, but it is the world's poorest people who are paying the price. By following such a high carbon development path, rich countries have also used more than their fair share of the earth's ability to safely absorb carbon, leaving the rest of the world unable to develop in the same way.
The UK is one of the world's top emitters on a per person basis, both historically and currently. Our historical responsibility for climate change means we must now pay a massive climate debt to the world's poorest people as compensation. This will help them cope with the impacts of climate change and transition to a cleaner development path.
Why is the climate debt campaign important?
Climate change is already killing 300,000 people per year
- Global Humanitarian Forum, led by the former UN secretary general Kofi Annan
The major injustice is that the people most affected by climate change are not responsible for causing it. Climate change is already having a disproportionate impact on the global south, threatening millions of people with famine, disease, drought, flooding and other weather related disasters. Despite promising large amounts of new climate finance at the Copenhagen UN talks in December 2009, the UK is continuing to fail the needs of poorer countries.
Not only is the UK failing to recognise its debt and pay adequate compensation, but by providing climate finance as loans through the Wold Bank it is actually increasing economic injustice and inequality. At the same time, the UK is continuing to emit more than its fair share, thereby continually increasing its climate debt.
WDM is campaigning with people around the world to get the UK to live up to its commitments.
How can the climate debt be paid?
Firstly, the UK must stop increasing its climate debt. Every day that the UK continues pumping carbon into the atmosphere, it is increasing its climate debt. This means the UK must take the lead in reducing emissions by phasing out the use of fossil fuels and switching to a way of living that moves beyond the idea of continued economic growth at the expense of all else.
Secondly, the UK must provide compensation to the people who are suffering the worst effects of climate change, to help them adapt to better cope with the devastating consequences of a changing climate.
Finally, the rich world also bears a responsibility to ensure that countries in the global south are able to access their right to develop economically without endangering the world's climate. As rich countries have used more than their fair share of the earth's ability to safely absorb carbon, countries from the global south cannot follow the same development path. These countries, which do not bear the responsibility for climate change, cannot be expected to sacrifice their right to development so that the rich world can continue living in an unsustainable way. Rich countries must finance and support countries in the global south in transitioning to a cleaner model of economic development.
How is the UK government using climate finance to reinforce existing inequalities?
The UK government promised a significant amount of new climate finance during the Copenhagen summit in December 2009. Instead it is taking money from its aid budget, intended to be used for vital services such as health and education, and channelling it as loans through the World Bank. These loans will lock countries into further poverty. Repaying the loans and interest on them will divert scarce government resources away from vital measures to tackle poverty such as expenditure on healthcare and education. Trying to pay compensation to countries in the global south with climate loans is like a loan shark burning down your house and then offering you a loan to rebuild it.
The UK has also been instrumental in furthering the World Bank's ambition to be the primary institution managing climate finance. This undemocratic institution has been completely discredited in the global south, and the use of it for channelling climate funds is opposed by developing countries (see 'What's so bad about the World Bank?' below).
What is WDM calling for?
WDM is calling for climate adaptation funding to go through more democratic and accountable mechanisms like the UN Adaptation Fund, rather than the World Bank. The World Bank can use money to force economic and political conditions on countries and has a track record of failing to consult the people its projects affect.
We are calling for this money to come from new sources, such as a tax on shipping and aviation, a financial transactions tax (like the Robin Hood tax) and ensuring that corporations do not avoid payment of tax. These measures would not only provide new money, but could also be transformational in themselves. Finally, we are calling for none of this money to be given in the form of loans, but is instead given as grants.
What's so bad about the World Bank?
The World Bank has a long history of pushing push policies which benefit rich countries and funding projects which have increased climate change. For example:
- World Bank lending in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in massive deforestation in Brazil and Indonesia, leading to an increase in carbon emissions.
- In the 1980s and 1990s irresponsible World Bank lending led to many poor countries getting trapped into debt.
The World Bank then used this debt to force poor countries to privatise infrastructure, liberalise trade policies and cut public spending on education and health care. These policies led to huge increases in poverty across the world's poorest countries, whilst creating business opportunities for western corporations.
In April 2010 the World Bank agreed a £2 billion loan to South Africa for the completion of the world's fourth largest coal-fired power station, adding billions to South Africa's already high level of debt. The loan will benefit some of the biggest corporations in the world which receive subsidised electricity while ordinary South Africans pay around four times as much per unit. As the US treasury stated, the loan showed "incompatibility with the World Bank's commitment to be a leader in climate change mitigation and adaptation".
The World Bank has proven itself incapable of effectively dealing with development or climate issues in the global south. Its track record of imposing policy conditions and programmes on developing countries, and its undemocratic governance structures seriously discredit the institution.
Wouldn't it be easier to reform the World Bank rather than creating new institutions?
WDM, along with many other groups around the world, has campaigned for many years for the radical reform of the World Bank. However, in 2006 we released our Out of Time report which argued that the World Bank needs to be replaced because efforts to reform it have been unsuccessful. The World Bank was set up to ensure that rich countries would always be in control of the money it dispersed and the policies it advocated. This is so fundamental to the way the World Bank is organised that we now believe that it is impossible to reform to the extent that is needed.
For instance, decisions are not made through democratic votes but are instead based on a complex formula of economic factors. As a result high income countries hold over 60 per cent of voting power while low income countries hold just 6 per cent. Yet developing countries represent over 80 per cent of the world's population and Bank's membership; are where almost all of the Bank's activities take place; and, through loan repayments, are the main financial contributors to the Bank.
The World Bank has proven to be incredibly resistant to reform. Management of climate funds needs to be democratic, accountable and transparent. The UN Adaptation Fund is one example of an existing fund that meets these criteria.
Hasn't debt cancellation cleared 'Third World Debt'
Thanks to campaigners some debt cancellation has become a reality – but enormous debts still remain. Despite progress in recent years the poorest 48 countries have a debt totalling US$168 billion. In 2008, these countries paid over US$8.3 billion to the rich world in debt service – over US$23 million a day. For example, Bolivia was given debt cancellation through the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative, resulting in nearly US$2 billion of Bolivia's debt being cancelled. However, the Bolivian government's external debt is still US$2.5 billion.
Rich countries have used this illegitimate financial debt to exercise control over developing countries. The World Bank and IMF have often acted as the vehicle for this control via policies such as structural adjustment programmes. For example in 2000 the World Bank forced Bolivia to privatise its water provision, handing it to US company Bechtel. This led to steep increases in price and left many people without access to water. Today climate change policies are forcing Bolivia to face the prospect of taking loans from the World Bank, thus pushing them deeper into debt.
In a time of cuts, where can this money come from?
There are a number of ways that the large sums which are required to repay the UK's climate debt could be raised such as:
- International taxes on transport – international aviation and shipping pay no tax on their fuel. An international air passenger levy would generate £5 -13 billion per year in the first five years, and potentially more in the longer term. A maritime levy could generate £16 billion per year.
- Financial transaction tax (Robin Hood tax) – this could raise £250 billion per year if implemented globally.
- Stopping corporate tax evasion and avoidance could raise billions more. It is estimated that in the UK alone nearly £100 billion is lost through tax avoidance and tax evasion.
Innovative financing sources such as the ones above could also have other benefits, helping our transition to a more just world. For example, air passenger and maritime levies would reduce unnecessary flights by making it more expensive for airlines to continue inefficient flights, as well as making corporations pay the true cost of producing their goods.
A financial transactions tax, if set at a high enough level, would help limit the currency and commodity speculation that forces millions into poverty. This tax could help transform the global economy by making it more expensive for bankers to gamble on the markets. Speculators would have less power over the value of other countries' currencies and be less able to recklessly push up the price of food in speculative bubbles, which creates hunger for even more of the world's poorest people.
Aren't there problems with the UN too?
There certainly are problems with the UN. The failure of the UN climate talks to reach a meaningful deal on tackling climate change for the period after 2012 when the Kyoto Protocol is due to expire is one of the clearest examples of the problems with the UN process.
In 2010 the World Bank approved a US$3.75bn loan to help build the Eskom coal power power plant in South Africa. It will be one of world's largest, raising further questions about the World Bank's commitment to solving climate change.
However, as long as there are efforts to reach a global deal on climate change, the best place for it to happen is through the UN because it is a forum where all countries in principle have an equal voice. That said, at the 2010 climate talks Cancún consensus was declared even while Bolivia was still objecting to the proposed weak deal being agreed.
While problems exist within the UN climate negotiations, the UN Adaptation Fund has proven itself to be an effective body. Because of a representative governance made up of countries of the global north and global south, rich countries have not been as able to impose their interests. The UN Adaptation Fund has given out 50 times more money than the World Bank's fund for adaptation (the PPCR), in spite of the fact it has received less than 10 per cent of the financial contributions the PPCR has received.
Doesn't corruption in developing country governments make paying our climate debt pointless?
No. Corruption is and has been a problem for many countries in the global south; however this doesn't undermine the effects of providing finance to developing countries.
For example, repeated studies have shown that money from debt cancellation does go where it is needed. One study of ten African countries found a 40 per cent increase in education spending and a 70 per cent increase in health spending after just four years of debt relief.
Contrary to common perception, corruption is not just due to corrupt politicians and officials in developing countries, it also takes place in rich countries and is perpetrated by multinational companies based in the global north. Recent research has highlighted how open carbon trading systems are to abuse. Due to the undue influence of vested interests, the allocation of carbon permits in the European carbon trading system led to windfall profits of £5-7 billion for some of Europe's largest polluters. Tax evasion by multinational companies is also a huge problem, estimated to cost developing countries as much as £100 billion a year.
Corruption is often used as an excuse for rich donor countries to try and increase their power and influence over poorer country governments. However, many of the free trade and market liberalisation policies pushed by these same rich countries through institutions such as the IMF, World Bank and WTO have been responsible for growth in corruption.
The fact that corruption exists in both the global north and the global south is not a reason not to pay our climate debt. Instead we need to promote genuine solutions that can help to tackle the problem. To ensure that climate finance is delivered effectively, WDM is campaigning for it to be fully transparent (something which is a major problem with some of the finance currently managed by the World Bank).
The use of climate finance must also be accountable to those in the countries affected by climate change, rather than the demands of donor country governments. WDM also supports direct access to climate finance whereby non-governmental organisations can access finance directly, meaning that money is not provided solely through national governments.
Why does the UK government claim that 77 pence out of every £1 given through the World Bank's PPCR is 'effectively grant finance'?
It is based on the fact that the loans are concessional. This means that the loans are cheaper than if the recipient countries had taken them out at commercial rates.
Although the UK government announced in Durban that it would give £70 million to the PPCR as grants, £15 million will still be given as loans. This money is provided to the PPCR as 'capital' which means that it can only be leant to recipient countries. Grants involve a direct financial transfer for which no repayment is required. Given that loans from the PPCR must be repaid in full with interest it is highly misleading to claim that any part of these loans are "effectively grant finance".

Family owned and operated Lewisville Autoplex wants make you part of theirs
Lewisville Autoplex is a third generation owned and operated business and it shows in the way they do business. They treat you like their own family. "There is no pressure," manager Michael Baum said. "We're very friendly."

"We have the most diverse inventory in North Texas," Baum said. "We sell everything from Ferraris to Ford pickups. We've got it all."
Their selection has grown so much that they've moved to a new 4-acre state of the art facility located directly off Interstate 35.

Even though they are Mitsubishi "Triple Diamond Certified," the dealership handpicks late model and highline vehicles, usually that have only had one owner with a remaining warranty, from all makes and models.
"We'll buy your car even if you don't buy ours," Baum said. "If someone came in and we couldn't put a deal together but they were looking to sell their car, we'll still buy their car."

This never crossed my mind to ask until now. Our DD is getting married tomorrow afternoon at our towns city hall by the mayor, and his wife says a few pr*yers. I need to know if we should pay him or is this considered part of our taxes at work? TIA | |||
It's not clear and the practice of tipping the marriage officiant may vary from state to state. Sometimes a donation is made for a charity or small gift of cookies is appropriate. In your shoes, I would call the City Hall clerk's office in the state in which your DD is getting married and ask them. | ||||
In Texas, this is not part of an elected offical's salary. The county judge I work for has started referring couples to the justices of the peace - mainly because their annual salary is less than the judge's and this is a way to supplement their income. I remember my dad's story - he said he asked the JP what he owed. The JP said, "Whatever it's worth to you." Daddy said he emptied his pockets. You should call the mayor's office. Sherry Does this hat make my butt look big? www.keepyouinstitches.blogspot.com http://s193.photobucket.com/al...9/keepyouinstitches/ www.friendsofthedaingerfieldpu...library.blogspot.com | ||||
mountainbeach, The answer is YES, Yes and Yes - the marriage officiant should absolutely receive compensation for his services - it is NOT part of his duties as mayor and, therefore, the taxpayers have not paid for this service. Why? There are a number of things "behind the scene" that the officiant does that the wedding party never sees. That wedding license? Who do you think sees that it is properly filled out and recorded? The words of the ceremony - unless the bride and groom have prepared the entire ceremony themselves - has taken the officiant a great deal of time to perfect. A plate of cookies or a contribution to a charity??? No, not acceptable although both would be nice in addition to a reasonable fee for the services provided - $100 is the bare minimum - delivered to the officiant in a discreet envelope after the ceremony by the best man, if there was one, or the groom himself or the grooms/brides' father or mother ... PS. "Tipping" implies offering something over and beyond payment for services rendered. In this case, you are only talking about paying for the service itself - no "tipping" involved.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Idaho Resident, | ||||
Where we come from the officiant always gets paid -- even when it is a minister. Weddings are not part of their regular duties. And I agree that $100 would be the bare minimum. If you want to "tip" on top of that, you could. And when I read the title of the thread that is what I thought it was going to be about -- how much "extra" should you put in the envelope for the minister as a "tip"! Not whether you pay him or not! Martha | ||||
In our area YES the Groom & Bride pays what they believe it means to them,(100.00 usally).Even at local small wedding venues it is custom to tip the official whether it is a notery,Preacher,Judge or Mayor. | ||||
Texas county judges can sign up for a "list serve" in which they can ask questions of all the judges AND TAC (Texas Association of Counties). They discuss all sorts of issues. This too came up. Some county judges do not perform marriage ceremonies - at all. They do as my judge does and refer the couple on to the JPs. Some have a set fee for in office, in town, out of town, way out of town. Some pocket the money. One quotes his price, receives his payment, then shakes the hand of the groom, gives the money back with instructions to take his new wife to a nice place for dinner first chance they get. Another donates the fee to a local children's charity. Others had different responses. The ceremonies that my judge performed in the first year - year and a half of her tenure, she did for free. (Hence the reason she decided to refer future couples to the JPs offices. (PS Texas notaries are not permitted to perform marriage ceremonies. Sherry Does this hat make my butt look big? www.keepyouinstitches.blogspot.com http://s193.photobucket.com/al...9/keepyouinstitches/ www.friendsofthedaingerfieldpu...library.blogspot.com | ||||
I am glad Stitches weighed in on what Texas does. Each state is different. Here's an article on tipping etiquette from the Martha Stewart website. Scroll down to read about tipping officiants: http://www.marthastewartweddin...ping-wedding-vendors I'll save you the time. Here it is: "If your wedding is performed by a civil employee such as a judge, clerk, or other nonreligious official, then forgo a gratuity. Such officiants are paid a flat rate and are usually not permitted to accept tips or donations -- local law may actually prohibit it. A thoughtful card, however, is always appreciated."This message has been edited. Last edited by: aychihuahua, | ||||
Yes | ||||
Well she got married and here's what happened. If she went to the county court house and got married by the JP, there was a fee. Our town mayor does it as a courtsey to his residents and does not expect payment or tip. All info was given to me by his wife. I know it's always nice receive, but where does it stop? Our society expects payment for every little thing. I feel it's a good gesture on his part to provide these services and I will send him & his wife a thank-you card with some kind of gift basket. | ||||
I think 3 congratulations are in order...no, make that 4. 1 to the mayor for being kind and being a true public servant . 1 goes to you for calling his wife and asking instead of just wondering. Another goes to you for sending a thank you note and gift basket. And lastly 1 to the couple. May they have a long and happy marriage. | ||||
What Aychihuahua quoted from Martha Stewart is correct. My StepD is clerk of the probate court where she lives and she does many weddings every week and she is prohibited from accepting payment for her services - it is part of her job description. I don't quite understand what the OP meant in her 2nd post. As far as I know the JP is doing his job and the locality has a fee structure for his services.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Charming, | ||||
DD called the county courthouse and they told her she needed to purchase her marriage license and then there was a $25 fee for the JP to officiate. Maybe the $25 was for the paperwork? Anyhow it all worked out and I think it is kind of our mayor to do this w/o expecting any compensation. | ||||
Well, I'm confused. Did they get married twice?...once by the JP and another time by the Mayor? Ours you get married by the Probate Judge and no fee can be accepted...part of their job! "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
First, mountainbeach, I am glad your DD and her intended were married - may the union last a lifetime! Next, I completely disagree with the excerpts from Martha Stewart - I wonder when the last time was that Martha actually attended a wedding where the price of compensating the wedding officiant was less than the bottle of wine the couple pops to celebrate the occasion? Here in Idaho, the marriage license has a set fee, an in-house court marriage has a set fee, and an out of the courthouse ceremony has a minimum set fee - BUT that is where is becomes complicated. To be honest, I was disappointed that "mountainbeaches" DD and her newly wed husband did not compensate their officiant for his services... Just MHO - | ||||
LOL, no they got married once. When she was researching her options, her choices were either JP at the county courthouse or sometimes your towns mayor can officiate. It ended up that our mayor does do it, and just for a 10 minute ceremony, it was better than the 45 minute travel time to the county courthouse for the JP to do it. We live in a small town and our city hall is less than a 5 minute drive. Thanks for all the comments. | ||||
I agree with IR. Martha Stewart is no Emily Post. Nor does she know the laws/rules/regulations of all 50 states. The 'offer' to pay the services of an officiant at a wedding (or funeral) should always be made. Then let the officiant tell whether or not and/or how much he/she charges.

Idaho resident sent you a PM | ||||
She doesn't have to know the regulations of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. That burden falls on the bride and groom for checking their local laws. Martha Stewart is merely offering cautionary advice to prevent embarrassment for all concerned.This message has been edited. Last edited by: aychihuahua, | ||||
aychihuahua, You are correct. But she should preface what she writes with in the state of ______. She should not make a blanket statement that covers all. And, yes. It is the responsibility of the bride and groom... Sherry Does this hat make my butt look big? www.keepyouinstitches.blogspot.com http://s193.photobucket.com/al...9/keepyouinstitches/ www.friendsofthedaingerfieldpu...library.blogspot.com | ||||
I just read over it again and she did not make a blanket statement. Civil employees are paid by the local jurisdiction. As far as I know localities ethics rules prohibit civil employees from accepting payment for services they are already paid to perform. In the quote it is prefaced with "USUALLY" that allows for the few jurisdictions that have no problem with graft and other misdeeds by employees. In some localities even a thank you gift if over a certain value is questionable. Same rules of preventing graft. Elected officials have somewhat different rules - thus the mayor performing the ceremony gratis - I'm sure the ethics laws prevent him from accepting money or a large gift where the courthouse has a requiredd fee. Replace the word wedding with - building permit - and you will see the problems it can cause.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Charming, | ||||
Good point, Charming, but here is where I differ with your interpretation: I have NEVER seen the job description of any elected official to include performing a wedding so it is NOT within the work for which they have already been compensated. It is, instead, an authority which they have been granted should they choose to utilize it. Replacing the words "wedding" with "building permit" is a bit deceptive - building permits have obvious economical factors whereas I doubt very much that a "wedding" carries any. Bottom line, in my opinion, any officiant performing a wedding should be offered a fee for their services - not a gratuity - and it is then up to them to accept it as compensation for time and effort involved, donate it or decline as the mayor did in "mountainbeaches" case who started this thread.. | ||||
Unless you are a judge, it probably is not in their job description of an elected official. It is especially problematic to offer an elected official a cash compensation for performing any act. It is all about ethics. Once you are in an elected position or government job - You do not accept cash from constituents for any reason. Depending on the position, it is part of the job description. As I mentioned one of the duties of my StepD's job is to officiate marriages. In her official capacity at the courthouse she is not allowed to accept cash or equivalents. When officiating off site I'm not sure, but I think cash and cash equivalents are frowned on if outright not allowed - I could be wrong on the off site.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Charming, | ||||
mountainbeach handled this correctly. She called to find out what to do. Not knowing - it's better to ask/offer and be told "No charge - it's part of the job"...than not to ask at all.

Responding to concerns about its new Photo Sync feature for smartphone users, Facebook said Tuesday that it won't use data from pictures that are automatically uploaded to users' private albums on the social network, unless the user shares them.
Facebook recently began offering an optional service that will automatically upload photos from a user's iPhone or Android smartphone, while promising to store them in a digital album that keeps the photos private until the user decides to post them on a Facebook page or share them with friends.
Some analysts raised the possibility this week that Facebook might analyze private photos for digital clues about where they were taken or even the identities of people in the photos, perhaps applying that information in the same way it relies on other user data to determine which ads and other messages are shown to different users.
A Facebook representative appeared to dispute that on Tuesday, saying in a statement: "We only utilize photo data after users decide to share them to Facebook." In response to a follow-up question, the representative said that means the company won't use data from uploaded photos in the user's private album, although the company would apply its normal policies if the user opts to share the photos on Facebook.
In its privacy policy, Facebook lists several possible uses for data it obtains from photos and other
Facebook has described Photo Sync as a convenient way for smartphone users to upload pictures as soon as they are taken, while allowing users to review them later for possible sharing. Facebook, which draws most of its revenue from advertising, wants to encourage users to share more of their lives with others on the social network.
Google (GOOG) offers a similar "Instant Upload" feature for its Google+ social network. A spokeswoman said Google does not use any photo information to target its advertising. Google+ offers facial recognition for users who opt to allow it.
Bloggers and security experts have praised some aspects of the Photo Sync feature, while cautioning that it could still give Facebook access to more data if it leads to users sharing more photos, and that it might also increase the chances for sharing photos inadvertently.

The state attorney general announced Tuesday he has filed lawsuits against a Watertown "head shop" and 15 other similar businesses statewide over the alleged sales of synthetic drugs.
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman included Trip on the Wild Side II, 671 Mill St., in a statewide action designed to crack down on stores that are allegedly violating state label laws by selling designer drugs, including commonly known synthetics such as "bath salts" and "synthetic marijuana."
In a prepared statement, Mr. Schneiderman said the sale of the drugs has led to a "public health crisis" across the state and country. With psychoactive effects similar to those in substances obtained for illegal drug use, the products are typically packaged with innocuous names and bright graphics to give the misleading impression that their use is harmless, Mr. Schneiderman said.
In his statement, Mr. Schneiderman cited a June 7 incident in which a Watertown man crashed his vehicle into six parked vehicles at Olive Garden on outer Arsenal while allegedly under the influence of "Spice" and two other medications.
His legal action, which has been filed in 12 counties, seeks an immediate end to the sale of any mislabeled drugs. It is also seeking additional information about the types of products that are sold.

Funeral services for longtime Mancos resident Mary Margaret Johnson will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 28, at Ertel Memorial Chapel. Interment will follow at Cedar Grove Cemetery.
