			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Wyoming does not have many standard legal forms. Through the Wyoming Judicial Branch Self Help Center you can find and download or print the forms you need for divorce, child support and custody. Printing fees are $.10 per page at the law library.</p>
<p>For all other forms, we have available two sets of general form books and access to the Gale Legal Forms (available in the State Law Library only) database. The books and database contain SAMPLES of various forms that can be photocopied or downloaded and then modified for your needs. Sometimes, it is necessary to combine several forms. Librarians can show you where the formbooks are located, but it is up to you to determine which examples to follow. Our form books are American Jurisprudence Legal Forms and American Jurisprudence Pleading and Practice Forms. We do not photocopy and send forms to the general public. Most large law libraries, including law school libraries, will have similar sets of books. If you have any questions about the type of form to use, we recommend you consult an attorney (Wyoming Bar Association). &#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The national economy has wobbled due to recession; Wyoming, despite of its economic problems, continues to provide sufficient and human health services for its residents, especially the elderly. Although there were budget cuts from Medicaid, it did not hamper the state from strengthening long term care programs.</p>
<p>Senior population comprises 12 percent of the state&#8217;s total population. There are nearly 95,000 seniors age 85 and above&#8211; the age group that will require long term care services. It is estimated that the senior population will by 126 percent by 2007 &#8211; 2030, which puts Wyoming on 4th spot with the highest senior growth rate.</p>
<p>All types of settings for long term care in Wyoming are expensive. In Cheyenne, the median annual cost for a private nursing home room costs $74.460; in Casper, it costs $70,445. The cost throughout the state is $63,875.</p>
<p>The median annual cost for a private room in assisted living setting typically run from $32,880 to $38,400. Casper&#8217;s costs have increased by 15 percent over the past five years, while only 5 percent in Cheyenne. The total statewide costs have swollen to 6 percent a year over the past five years versus the national annual median costs of 5 percent. A private room in an assisted living for the national level is $33,903.</p>
<p>Seniors who opt for home care should also expect to pay around $17 to $28 &#8212; the median hourly rate for non-Medicare certified home health aide. Residents of Casper are unlucky as their state has the most expensive rate of $28, while cost in Cheyenne and the rest of the state is only $18 per hour. The national hourly rate is $18, which is 2 percent increase annually over the past five years.</p>
<p>The adult day care has daily median rate of $52 in Casper; however, the rates in Cheyenne are unavailable. The rest of the state in Wyoming has median cost of $39, much lower than the national rate of $54.</p>
<p>There are almost 82,000 Wyoming residents relying on Medicaid, seven percent of which are seniors age 65 and above. However, the state Medicaid allocates only 14% budget for long term care for seniors under home and community-based settings. Long term care services are very crucial for elders because it will help them perform activities that a frail adult is incapable of doing. However, the insufficient funding from Medicaid adds burden to people, as they will be forced on the spend-down requirements of Medicaid for long term care eligibility. Medicaid does not exempt the person from paying the services because it won&#8217;t cover all the expenses, and it has strict rules in qualifying recipients.</p>
<p>Recently, the state of Wyoming implemented the long term care partnership program that aims of encouraging residents to purchase LTC policies. The program serves as reform in improving Medicaid&#8217;s support for long term care and bolstering the health care for the elderly. This program is strictly implemented in all participating private insurance policies. Just like other partnership policies in some states, the Wyoming partnership policies provide benefits namely asset disregard, inflation protection, tax qualified and reciprocity agreement. The asset disregard is the most-sought benefit feature of partnership policies. This allows people to apply for Medicaid coverage without depleting theirs assets to meet the asset li</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those who are interested in planning a Wyoming fly fishing trip, there are several things that you will want to keep in mind. First, there are several regions that are good for fly fishing in Wyoming. Before you pick your fly fishing spot, you should check the latest conditions and trends in the area to ensure that you are selecting the best fly fishing hole for your needs in this state. Also, you will want to make certain that you can catch the type of fish that you are after when you are planning your trip.</p>
<p>The majority of people going on a fly fishing trip in this state will be after the large trout, bass and steelhead. Depending on location, you may have good or bad luck with any of these different types of fish, which is why it is important to check the Wyoming fly fishing conditions prior to planning and leaving out on your trip.</p>
<p>One of the particularities of Wyoming fly fishing is the fact that for most years, there are down periods across the region. It is very rare that fishing will be maintained in the region universally for the entire season. Because of this, you may want to consult a particular fly fishing tour guide to find the holes that are currently active to prevent an unsuccessful fishing trip. Also, conditions such as glacier melt off and spring floods will affect the quality and quantity of the fish that can be found. This is particularly notable in the Yellowstone region, where glacier melt off can drastically change the water levels in the early spring.</p>
<p>One of the most noted fishing holes for fly fishing is the Jackson hole and its surrounding region. This accounts for a large portion of the Wyoming fly fishing, and is often the hot spot for tourists to go to. However, even when the Jackson hole is low, there are many other Wyoming fly fishing holes that you can go to, including Yellowstone and South Fork.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What would the &#8220;Cowboy State&#8221; be without cowboys? A silhouetted image of a bucking horse and rider, hat in hand, is a registered trademark of the state of Wyoming. The image appeared as early as 1918, when it was worn by members of Wyoming&#8217;s National Guard. The bucking horse graces the license plates of Wyoming to this day. The state knows a thing or two about cowboys, and the tradition is a proud one.</p>
<p>The tradition is continued, and offered to visitors, at many Wyoming dude ranches. Guests can take part in the action of roping, branding, and herding cattle. Organized cattle drives regularly take place at many ranches.</p>
<p>Working ranches and guest ranches are scattered across Wyoming, and the amenities range from indoor plumbing to in-room massages. There&#8217;s a dude ranch available for every kind of guest, and accommodations are as primitive, or posh, as the vacationer is looking for.</p>
<p>Open meadows and rolling hills await exploration on foot or on horseback. Guests will invariably spot the wildlife Wyoming is known for, including coyotes, wild turkeys, and, of course, the official state animal, the bison. Many Wyoming dude ranches herd bison as well as cattle. Overnight pack trips are often available, as well as pack trips that can last a week or more. Guided big game hunts are also sometimes offered.</p>
<p>Cowboy culture has been preserved, and still thrives, in Wyoming today. At any one of the many Wyoming dude ranches, guests can experience a world outside of what they&#8217;ve ever known. Pairing tamed and controlled horses, with wilderness that can never be either, and it&#8217;s the experience of a lifetime.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wyoming construction jobs are crucial to the state&#8217;s development. Construction is not as important to the rest of United States as it is to this particular region. This is because this activity plays a more important role in the state&#8217;s economy than in the rest of United States. About 20,000 jobs were provided in this field in Wyoming in 2002. Construction jobs in Wyoming have increased down the years right from 1990. In the years 1990 to 2002, construction jobs have increased by about 60%. The best part about construction employment in Wyoming is that while other states pay around $563 every week for construction work, this state pays around $602.</p>
<p>Employment Season: Wyoming construction jobs are highly seasonal in nature. The late summer (around August) is the time when jobs are usually the highest. Around the time of February, the jobs decline in nature. In present years, opportunities have increased by about 5000 jobs.</p>
<p>Components are three main components of Wyoming construction work. These are: Building Construction, Civil and Heavy Engineering Construction and Specialty Trade Contractors.</p>
<p>Building Construction is the most general category of construction. This kind of construction has two parts- residential and non-residential. Residential construction work in this field includes construction of houses for single families, residential remodeling and construction of apartment buildings.</p>
<p>While non-residential construction includes institutional, commercial and industrial buildings. General contractors are employed in this industry. This field provided around 4000 jobs in 2002. However it is still the smallest field when it comes to construction job opportunities in Wyoming.</p>
<p>Civil and Heavy Engineering Construction includes all the heavy public engineering construction jobs that require special training. This kind of job includes the construction of utility systems like pipelines, bridges, streets and highways. This is the second largest field in the construction arena accounting for about 5400 jobs in the year 2002.</p>
<p>Specialty Trade Contractors is the largest field of construction in the state. In 2002, this field accounted for about 9800 jobs. This kind of construction work revolves around special trades. Special trade involves electrical work, roofing, flooring, painting, plumbing and framing contractors. Most often personnel of this field are seen to make contracts with the general contractors involved in the work of the first kind.</p>
<p>Opportunities: How many jobs are found in a year depends on the construction of power plants and pipelines and the federal highway spending. Very difficult to make an estimate of how much work will be provided by the heavy civil engineering projects of this type is very unusual. A number of factors such as population and income growth will also affect construction in Wyoming.</p>
<p>With the growth of both these factors, a strong demand of the construction works. But can say without doubt, that Wyoming construction work will increase in future due to high demand for new construction and companies venturing into the water. The economy in Wyoming is growing rapidly due to the building. Wyoming job building a great prospect for money and respect.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The laws against driving under the influence (DUI) in Wyoming have always been tough. For example, Wyoming has anti-plea bargaining laws. This means that prosecutors cannot reduce or dismiss DUI charges without filing a motion in court. And in 2009, Wyoming legislated tougher DUI penalties with Senate Bill 88. Among other things, the Bill imposed penalties on people who aid drivers in disabling or defeating an ignition interlock device (IID), as well as providing that anyone convicted of aggravated homicide while operating or driving a vehicle will not be granted an IID-restricted license. Additionally, beginning July 1, 2010, Senate File 19 increases Wyoming&#8217;s &#8220;look-back&#8221; period from five to 10 years. This means that if you receive a second DUI conviction within 10 years of the first conviction, you will face harsher penalties. Conversely, if your second conviction is more than 10 years after your first, the second conviction will be treated as if it were your first.</p>
<p>Drunk driving in Wyoming will trigger a criminal case in the courts and an administrative case with the Wyoming Department of Transportation. The criminal case determines the jail time, fines and other DUI punishments you will face, whereas the administrative case determines the impact to your driver&#8217;s license. The administrative case precedes the criminal case, and your driving privileges may be suspended for as little as 90 days, or revoked for as long as three years, depending on the offense. When faced with the potential of losing such a freedom, and all the ramifications that go with it, you might want to find the best drunk driving attorneys available.</p>
<p>If you are convicted of your first DUI in Wyoming in criminal court, you can be sent to jail for up to six months, or fined up to $750, or both, and you will be required to undergo substance abuse assessment at your own expense. If your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was .15 or above (a BAC of .08 is the legal limit), you will be required to install an IID in your vehicle, again at your own expense. Finally, your license will be suspended for 90 days.</p>
<p>A second DUI offense brings a jail sentence from seven days to six months, fines from $250 to $750, the installation of an IID for one year, substance abuse assessment, and a license suspension for one year.</p>
<p>Your third Wyoming DUI carries a jail term from 30 days to six months, fines from $750 to $3,000, two years with an IID, substance abuse assessment, and a license suspension of three years. Other possibilities include probation, an in-patient treatment program, and/or an alcohol education program.</p>
<p>When is a DUI a felony in Wyoming? The fourth DUI conviction. Convicted felons lose their right to vote and to bear arms; they also are barred from holding certain jobs, and have a harder time obtaining loans. The jail time for a fourth offense is up to two years, and you can be fined up to $10,000. You will also be required to have an IID installed in your vehicle for life, but you may apply to have it removed after five years. And who knows how long your license will be suspended. It is also possible that you will be sentenced to probation, an in-patient treatment program, a substance abuse assessment, and/or an alcohol education program. Isn&#8217;t it time you found a DUI defense attorney?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The University of Wyoming, located in the city of Laramie, is quite literally positioned above nearly every other major university in the United States as it sits high on the Laramie Plains at an elevation of 7,200 feet. Founded in September of 1886 the college sits close to a mile and a half above sea level and is the product of a land-grant university initiative from the late 1800s.</p>
<p>The term land grant university is the common vernacular for institutions of higher learning that received federal funds as a result of the congressional Morrill Acts of Parliament 1862 and more recently in 1890. Even during the latter parts of the nineteenth century many of the United States was unoccupied and filled with an abundance of government controlled land for lack of a better use. In an effort to bolster education the federal government granted upstart and existing universities land through a process that related giving control of the land to the states with the regulations that the states would then either sell the land to raise educational funds or directly develop the land for higher educational purposes. The specific purpose of this act was to develop colleges where practical trades like engineering, agriculture, science, and other endeavors related to the industrial revolution could be learned. Up until this point in history universities predominately focused on what was then considered classical studies and is today largely referred to as liberal arts.</p>
<p>With a growing student population the University of Wyoming now boasts an enrollment of over 13,000 pupils. The opportunity for citizens of the state to send their children to college within such close relative proximity was not a luxury the residents always had. The importance of having such an important institution within the state boundaries was a fact not lost on the locals who had a Latin phrase inscribed on the landmark building at the time of the September, 1886 opening. The Latin phrase which can still be read today (despite numerous renovations to the Old Main) translates to, &#8220;He need not go away from home for instruction.&#8221; Despite the use of the pronoun &#8220;he&#8221; the University of Wyoming admitted a coeducational class of 42 women and men when classes began.</p>
