Just a day after I blogged about how great the Big Sioux River is for kayaking, it's now almost too low to paddle. A group of 4 of us did the same route I did on Sunday. 57th & Western to 14th & Cliff through the bluffs of Sioux Falls.
24 hours made a world of difference. The river fell close to 3 feet in only a day. There two big factors that play into this. First of all, there is a construction diversion set up on the river that crosses Russell Avenue on the north side of town. So, the only water that's in the river for our trip is that of which either fell from the sky or drained in from the area. None of the actual river water makes it past the diversion. All of that water flows east over the spillway by John Morrell. Once construction is finally wrapped up on Russell, the Big Sioux should be much better for recreation. Secondly, the lack of any significant rainfall this summer. If you want to kayak the Sioux Falls route, you have to be ready to go as soon as the rain stops. Because, once the water runs through town, it's gone. The high levels only remain for a short time.
The first sign of how far the river dropped was the appearance of rocks at the launch site. Those same rocks were completely submerged the previous day. That's always a good gauge as to how the rest of the river will be depth-wise. No rocks = Good. That means plenty of water. Some rocks = OK. You can make it through, but you might scrape the bottom a few times. Lots of rocks = Awful. Don't even bother. Turn around and go home. If you see more than a handful of exposed rocks at the 57th & Western launch point that means the river is low. Like less than a foot deep, low. That's no fun when you bottom out every few minutes. However, just a few exposed rocks was not going to cancel our excursion. Once we navigated past a few of those rocks, the river was rather smooth sailing for the next hour or so. Keep in mind, just because you can't see the bottom of the riverbed, doesn't mean it's not shallow. In fact, the deepest part of our route doesn't exceed six feet. Most of the time we were in 1-3 feet of water. Plenty deep enough for a kayak.
During the three hour trek, we encountered a pair of rapids. Far from raging, the rapids were rather docile. What made them so dangerous was lack of water. Our kayaks barely cleared each set. Lots of scraping, but thankfully, no rocks penetrated our watercraft.
Our group consisted of three seasoned kayakers and one virgin paddler. I was hoping the river would be deep, fun and fast for the newbie. I've been out kayaking is sub-par conditions along with first-timers before. It's not fun for anyone involved. And, chances are that they won't want to ever try it again. With the exception of a few low spots and the lack of any significant current, it was another solid trip. The new guy was hooked and he will definitely try it again. It's fun to be able to share my passion with my best of friends that way.

Age doesn't seem to be an issue for Kate Moss. Most women her age like to cover up, but not Moss. The 39-year-old English Model strips down to the nude in a new campaign for St. Tropez tanning products, proving that age is of no consequence for her. She only gets more beautiful as time goes on.
Moss is the new face for sunless tanning company. ''I'm so excited to be working with St.Tropez,'' she says. ''I've been using the products since they started and it's a really trustworthy, cool brand.''
And in nothing but her sun-kissed skin, Moss claims: ''I always feel more confident with a St.Tropez tan!''
She should feel confident with that body because the lady is hot!

Hi guys! My comouter charger is broken and I haven't gone to replace it because I am scared that it is actually the charger port and not just an easy fix.... so I stole the hubby's computer for the day. I feel so lost without mine!
So lou is just shy of 3 months old and something is up with him the past 2 days. Friday he slept ALL day - only woke up for a few hours to eat. Sarurday he didn't sleep at all except quick 20 minute naps. Today - he is sleepy. He averages 24 ounces of food a day, yesterday he was a monster and destroyed 34 ounces :o. Now I am wondering if he just liekd the sucking motion so he kept eating? He finally went to sleep last night a 3 am (after being awake for pretty much a whole 30 hours with only a few quick naps) after I gave him a dose of tylenol. He doesn't have a fever.
I know 3 months is a bit early for teething - and his gums look fine. He likes gnawing on my finger last night and has been chomping on his hands more than usual. He is a drool monster too.
I guess I will call his doctor tomorrow - but does this sound like teething to those of you who have gone through this? HE had just started to sleep from 9 pm - 6 am.. now this!

So today I was faced with more disappointment as AF arrived. I just completed my second IUI and it was a bust! Everything was perfect and it ended up as a BFN! Then right before a lunch meeting, I get a call that two of my friends are pregnant. REALLY!! I am happy for them but reminded of my heartbreak. So I drove to my RE and chatted with her. She suggested that we skip our last IUI (it is a package where we pay for 3 IUIs and 1 IVF). So if I don't use the last IUI, I lose it!
What would you guys do? She thinks it may be too much for me emotionally to handle another IUI, but I feel like there are no guarantees with IVF either. I am so confused. I told her that I wanted to get as aggressive as possible if I move on with the third IUI. She said we can add in follistem. Thoughts ladies??

A Cruyff turn here, a Panenka penalty there; a feint; a stepover; a sea of scarves on a colourful terrace, or just a stadium bathed in floodlights on a chilly evening. Some things stay with us forever; images, shapes and patterns that remind us of certain players, matches, moments in our own lives or whole generations. We might not even know it at the time.

text: It's 3:00 a.m. and I'm up just thinking about everything. I'm mostly worried about Bobbie and who's going to visit her. I can't get up there till 7:45 and I won't be able to go every day. I won't have enough gas and I'm flat broke. I can't help but feel we've come full circle in the worst possible way. Just months before I purposefully got pregnant with her at 16 I had attempted suicide. I was in ICU for 5 days because I nearly succeeded. I did decide that I most definitely did not want to die, but I wanted, no needed, something in my life to love and love me in return. That was why I purposefully set out to get pregnant. With her. And now she's in a psych ward suffering from the same horrible emotions that brought her here to begin with. I didn't have anyone then. I'm terrified she won't have anyone now. Besides me...and I'm wholly doubting I'm enough. I haven't been or else she wouldn't be where she is now.

Testimony is now underway in the murder trial of Ernesto Gonzalez who's accused of killing San Jose Hells Angel chapter president Jeffrey 'Jethro' Pettigrew.
Gonzalez faces several charges, including first degree murder and discharging a firearm in a structure during a fight at Trader Dick's inside John Ascuaga's Nugget on September 23, 2011.
Defense lawyer David Houston said Gonzalez shot Pettigrew because he feared Pettigrew was kicking another Vagos to death during the melee. Houston says the surveillance video prosecutors say proves Gonzalez carried out the hit will actually show he tried to shy away from the trouble started by another loud-mouthed Vagos. Houston says that Vagos, Gary "Jabbers" Rudnick, lied about the assassination plan to get a plea-bargain deal he thought would keep him out of prison.
Gonzalez is the of the Vagos chapter in Nicaragua.
Three witnesses took the stand today. The first was a woman who took numerous 911 calls that were played in court. The other two worked security and surveillance for the Nugget.
Monday, Hells Angels member Cesar Villagrana changed his plea in connection with the shooting which happened during Street Vibrations.
Villagrana pleaded guilty to a challenge to fight and battery charges and faces up to 15 years in prison and a possible $15,000 fine when he is sentenced September 4th.
Villagrana originally pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and conspiracy charges.

Simply contact one of our server hosting experts using our 24/7 hotline or our email support, and upgrade your server package as and when you need.

David Yurman uses color fearlessly, combining gemstones in unconventional ways to create truly distinctive and captivating palettes. "Fashion has color moments," he says, "but the reality for me is it's not about trends. There are moments when you want something soft and muted, and moments when you want something deep and rich. I like the idea of mixing colors that you don't often see together, that might feel a bit odd, yet the result is refreshing."
The word "bead" is derived from an Old English term meaning "prayer." These bracelets and necklaces are inspired by prayer beads used by religions around the world. Available in a variety of smooth, vividly colored stones, the pieces can be layered or worn alone. Rich in meaning and design, the Spiritual Beads collection represents the union of symbolism and style.

AMARILLO - A recent report says several area schools are teaching the Bible to high schoolers in an inappropriate way for public school.
Bible is a course that's been available in Amarillo public schools for 80 years.
"We teach an academic bible course, not Sunday school," said Amarillo High School Bible Instructor Gene Shelburne.
Shelburne has taught at Amarillo high for 38 years, and ministered at the Anna Street Church of Christ for 44 years.
But he says his role as pastor and his role as teacher never mix and he's offended that his class has been labeled "problematic" in a report by an Southern Methodist University religion professor.
"He assumed the worst," Shelburne said. "He assumed that we were ignorant, that we were bigoted, that we were misusing the public class room, and he just assumed that."
The report used several lines from Shelburne's curriculum as examples of how his class presents the Bible through a conservative protestant filter.
One example is a test question that hints race originated from the sons of Noah.
"We weren't teaching that, Genesis 10 teaches that. Our kids didn't have to believe it, I don't think some of my teachers believe it, they just had to know that's what Genesis 10 says" Shelburne said.
The goal of this report is not to get rid of bible courses. The author himself is a devote Methodist. The Texas Freedom Network just wants to make sure the Bible isn't being taught as factual history.
"We're a religious liberties and public education watchdog based out of Austin. We support religious freedom for everybody," said editor of the report and
TFN gave Professor Mark Chancy the funding to do the research critical of AISD's Bible course. The professor says he doesn't doubt that Shelburne has good intentions. He says it's the state that's at fault.
"Teachers are asked to teach courses without given much help in developing these courses so that they can become constitutionally and academically appropriate," Chancey said.
He says the state needs to give more funding to schools to get Bible instructors certified to teach.
Bible courses in Texas high schools has more than doubled since a law passed in 2007 requiring school districts to create bible courses if there is a want from students or parents.
"This report was intended to catch a snapshot of the state of affairs across Texas, to highlight some of the best practices and courses that others might look to as examples, but also to document how widespread the confusion is over how to teach a bible course," Chancey said.
Regardless whether report's assertions of Amarillo courses are true or not, Shelburne and TFN can agree on one thing; learning the Bible makes for a well-rounded individual.
"How can you read literature that refers to Bible if you don't know the references? You don't have to believe it, but you've got to know what it's talking about," Shelburne said.
Dalhart, Perryton, and Boys Ranch ISDs' courses were also cited as problematic in the report.

As I write this blog, my pit bull Nikita is curled up next to me on the couch. To give you an idea of her temperament, she's been dubbed the "cuddle bug" by one of my friends. She's always ready to shower the next person she sees with lots of puppy kisses. She is a lovable dog who is unfortunately judged by her breed.
I felt compelled to share this blog with you after a heated "debate" regarding the breed on Facebook.
I have been lucky enough to be around American Pit Bull Terriers since I was in the 4th grade. Through the years, my family has owned, trained, and raised many pit bulls. We were very active in APBT clubs designed to educate the public about these noble dogs. We also participated in dogs shows for APBTs (conformation and weight pull). So I have interacted with hundreds of pit bulls. I have always been greeted with tail wagging and affectionate licking, never any sign of aggression.
The American Pit Bull Terrier is a breed worth protecting and fighting for. They are a wonderful breed with a long history of distinction that somehow has been forgotten.
So let me introduce you to the American Pit Bull Terrier...
The APBT is a dog that will save his owner from a fire.
The APBT is a dog that brings comfort in the wake of a tragedy.
The APBT is a decorated war hero.
Click here for the Pit Bull Heroes Hall of Fame and here for a story about a pit bull who took a bullet to the head to protect his owner.

The First Major US Retrospective of the French Fashion Photographer
Revolutionary in his embrace of sunny exteriors when
sterile studios were de rigueur, French fashion photographer Georges Dambier rose to acclaim in the 50s, producing iconic images of many of his era's most famous muses, including Brigitte Bardot, Capucine and
sisters Dorian Leigh and Suzy Parker. Today we feature some of the highlights of his 40-plus-years behind the camera, collected in the new exhibition, Who's That Girl?,
on view at New York's Bonni Benrubi gallery. Dambier's career was launched following a chance encounter with Rita Hayworth at Le Jimmy's nightclub in post-WWII Paris. After snapping the Hollywood siren, he traded the exclusive images for a post at Pierre Lazareff's newspaper France Dimanche. "I said, I don't want money—I want to become a staff photographer," he recalls. These days, the 86-year-old presides over Le Chaufourg, his elegant family house overlooking the River Isle in Périgord, from which he shared some choice thoughts with us.
When you started, which designers did you find particularly inspiring?
Initially I worked quite a bit with an old friend called Alwin Camble, but quite soon I started to shoot a lot of clothes by Jacques Fath. We became close friends and worked a lot together.
What are your fondest fashion shoot stories?
There are quite a few about Dorian Leigh, but none that are suitable to share!
What was your favorite location to work in?
Paris––it was my town. My friends were there so it was comfortable and easy. I loved going to Morocco, Italy and Spain too.
Is there anyone you regret never having photographed?
Audrey Hepburn. I had the opportunity once when she was in Paris, but I was away shooting at the time and missed out. It still makes me sad.
Which modern photographers do you admire?
They have very different styles, but Tim Walker and Ellen Von Unwerth.

Often, the creative process is set in motion by David Yurman's experience in the natural world. The bend of a branch, the flicker of a star, a swaying stalk of wheat—in these small, poetic moments he finds endless inspiration. He interprets them in precious metals and gemstones, always revealing nature's artistry. "I never
make it symmetric," he notes. "It's perfectly asymmetric. Nature is not perfect."
Starburst was born from David and Sybil Yurman's experience watching fireworks illuminate the Paris night sky. The magical bursts of light showering the Eiffel Tower and Tuileries Garden greatly moved Sybil, inspiring David to create designs of brilliant star motifs. The collection explodes with bursts of gold or silver accented with diamonds or gemstones. The alternating rays of cabled and gem-studded metal enhance the radiance of the stones, making Starburst a celebration of light and excitement.

New York University employees incur various types of expenses as they perform tasks and duties that support the operations of the institution and further its missions. This policy is to ensure that employees who incur valid business expenses are reimbursed in a fair and equitable manner; that business expenses are reported, recorded, and reimbursed in a consistent manner throughout the University; and that the University complies with all applicable federal, state, and local rules and regulations.
All faculty and staff of New York University, entities affected by this Policy, all schools, departments, and units of New York University.
New York University reimburses employees for necessary and reasonable expenses they incur in the conduct of University business. This document provides the guidelines that will assist consistent compliance to this policy throughout the University. It details the procedures and the requirements that those who request, approve, or process reimbursements need to know and understand for the following specific reasons:
To facilitate quick return of personal funds used in the conduct of University business.
To ensure that employees do not incur costs for which they cannot be reimbursed.
To provide consistent methods for getting reimbursed throughout all schools, departments, and units of the University.
To protect the fiscal integrity of the University by ensuring compliance to applicable rules and regulations concerning how expenses that are reimbursed using University funds should be recorded and reported.
Note: Individuals who request, approve or process reimbursements are advised to check applicable policies issued by their school, department, or unit, as they might be more restrictive than the University policy.
University Policies on Business Expenses and Purchasing
It is the responsibility of everyone involved in the expense reimbursement process, from the individual initiating a transaction to the individual approving or processing requests for reimbursement, to know and understand all applicable policies. See "Related Documents" for a list of relevant University policies and other documents.
The Business Expenses Policy of the University, in particular, should be consulted for guidance on which expenses are legitimate or valid and thus may be incurred using University funds. Individuals who use personal funds for expenses they will request the University to remunerate are advised to refer to the policy, before they incur any expenses, to avoid incurring costs that may not be reimbursed. Individuals who approve or process
requests for reimbursement are required to know and understand the policy, to ensure that University funds are used appropriately and to assist compliance to applicable University and government requirements.
The University's Purchasing Policies and Procedures Manual should also be consulted for guidance on how certain types of purchases may be made. Certain expenses may be subject to specific procurement rules and requirements of the University and the government.
Sponsored Projects
Reimbursement requests for expenses charged to sponsored projects are subject to the guidelines provided in this policy, unless the funding agency imposes greater restrictions. The terms of a particular grant or contract should be referred to for guidance on what expenses are allowed.
For guidance on expenses that can or cannot be charged to projects that are funded by the federal government, refer to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-21. Examples of costs deemed unallowable by the federal government (as identified in Section J of the Circular) are listed in Appendix 1. The University however may deem certain federal unallowable costs permissible or reimbursable and identifies those costs in the Business Expenses Policy of the University. Refer to the Business Expenses Policy before incurring any expense as specific requirements apply on how those costs are incurred, recorded, and reported. This document provides guidance on how those costs, when appropriate and authorized, are reimbursed. See "Federal Requirement: Segregation of Costs" section in this document for more information.
Also, refer to the Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FAR) for guidance on laws that govern procurement of goods and services, and to applicable state and local regulations that may apply.
For questions related to a specific grant or contract in schools other than School of Medicine, contact Research and Restricted Accounting Services (RRAS) in the Controller's Division or the Office of Sponsored Programs. For questions related to sponsored projects at the School of Medicine, contact the Office of Grants Administration and Research Services or the Finance Sponsored Programs in the Controller's Office.
General Reimbursement Guidelines
Reimbursements for expenses that employees incur in the conduct of University business are subject to various rules and requirements of both the University and the government. Individuals involved in the reimbursement processes need to know and understand those that apply in particular to allowability of expenses under federal guidelines, to permissibility of expenses as established in the Business Expenses Policy of the University, and to the reporting requirements of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Federal Requirement: Segregation of Costs
New York University accepts funds from the federal government and is therefore required to comply with certain cost accounting policies established by the government. Those policies apply not just to the federal funds themselves but to all funds at the University.
The federal government mandates that certain costs must not be charged directly to a federal fund, or charged indirectly to a federal fund through the University's facility and administrative (indirect) cost rate. To help determine those costs that the federal government will or will not allow to be charged to federal funds, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has issued Circular A-21. See Appendix 1 for a list of common unallowable costs identified in the Circular.
A federal unallowable cost may be permissible under University guidelines. Flowers and alcoholic beverages are examples of costs that are "unallowable" for federal purposes. However, when deemed appropriate and legitimate under University guidelines, the University may allow such expenses. For specific guidance, refer to the Business Expenses Policy of the University – it reflects the principles established in OMB Circular A-21 and, wherever necessary, identifies those federal unallowable costs that can be incurred using University funds.
Federal regulations require that all unallowable costs be segregated in the University's general ledger so that they can be excluded from the University's indirect cost submissions. To ensure that an unallowable cost is not inadvertently charged directly or indirectly to federal funds, unallowable costs must be identified, segregated, and charged to appropriate NYU accounts.
Note: It is because of this federal rule on unallowable costs and particular IRS requirements that certain requirements in this policy are very specific -- such as the requirement that expenses be (1) justified to establish their business purpose, and (2) appropriately documented to clearly identify the nature of every expense. For details, see the "Documentation Requirements" section.
University Policy: Permissibility of Expenses
University funds may be used only for expenses that support the missions of the University. For detailed information and guidance on those expenses deemed permissible by the University, see the Business Expenses Policy.
When the nonpermissible expenses identified in the Business Expenses Policy of the University are submitted to the University for reimbursement or payment, they will be rejected. Accounts Payable will not process any reimbursement of nonpermissible expenses unless a memo justifying the expenses as necessary in carrying out a University task or function is attached. The memo should provide a clear explanation of why such an expense should be deemed a business expense, and should be submitted to the "Approver" (the individual responsible for funds being charged) for review and approval. To ensure that employees do not incur costs for which they cannot be reimbursed, it is advisable to confirm the permissibility of expenses before they are incurred.
Purchasing Policy: Expenses that cannot be reimbursed
Certain expenses deemed permissible by the University may not be reimbursable; such expenses cannot be paid using personal funds and submitted to the University for remuneration. Certain expenses may be incurred only through specific mechanisms such as a Purchase Order or the Payroll system. See the Business Expenses Policy and the Purchasing Policy of the University for guidelines on appropriate methods for incurring permissible expenses.
Reporting Expenses and Requesting Reimbursement
General Procedures
Employees who incur expenses in the conduct of University business may request reimbursement through any of the following three methods (all are subject to exactly the same rules):
Reimbursement through Accounts Payable (By check or direct deposit)
Reimbursement of business expenses may be requested through Accounts Payable by submitting a fully completed, adequately documented, and appropriately approved Expense Reimbursement Form (EXP2000) and, when expenses involve travel or business meals, a properly completed Expense Breakdown Sheet (EXP2000T for travel or EXP2000M for non-travel meals). See "Forms" section.
Reimbursements are generally issued in check and mailed to the individual's home address. To facilitate quick and convenient reimbursements however, the options below may be requested by checking the appropriate box on the EXP2000 form:
that reimbursements be sent directly to your bank account (available to those who have enrolled in the "Accounts Payable Direct Deposit" program. Contact Accounts Payable for questions related to the program; see "Forms" section of this document or the CDV Web site for the enrollment form);
that total or partial amount of the reimbursement due you be issued to the credit card company administering the NYU Travel Card as payment on your behalf.
Note: Accounts Payable will only issue to the credit card company any amount up to the total reported and authorized on the EXP2000 form as your appropriate reimbursement. Do not attach your credit card statements to your reimbursement request. Accounts Payable does not require your monthly card invoice or statement and does not require you to report what you have charged to your NYU Travel Card. As cardholder, you are directly responsible for all expenses that you have charged to your NYU Travel Card -- be they related to NYU business or not. Those expenses charged to the card that are related to NYU business are reimbursed by following the guidelines provided in this document.
Reimbursement through the Office of the Bursar (Cash)
If total expenses are $150 or less and you want the reimbursement in cash, check the "Cash Reimbursement" box on the EXP2000 Form and take the form to the Office of the Bursar.
Note: If you have an outstanding cash advance (previously requested through Accounts Payable using form ADV3000), reimbursement of any amount should be processed through Accounts Payable. See "Clearing Cash Advances" section in this document.
Reimbursement through the departmental imprest petty cash fund (Cash)
Minor expenditures such as local cab fares, parking fees, tolls, or business meals may be reimbursed in cash through the department's locally maintained petty cash fund (imprest petty cash fund), provided each expenditure does not exceed $150.
Note: See Petty Cash Fund (Imprest) Policy of the University for guidance on how to be reimbursed through the imprest petty cash fund. This document does not detail the requirements and procedures specific to reimbursements processed through the fund.
Initiator Responsibilities
All individuals reporting expenses for reimbursement are responsible for verifying that:
expenses are valid (i.e., expenses comply with applicable University policies, specifically the University's policy on business expenses);
chartfields are correct (i.e., that the expenses are charged to the correct funds, and that correct account codes are used for the type of expenses incurred);
federal "unallowable costs" are segregated and charged to an appropriate NYU account; and,
appropriate documentation is attached to support the validity of expenses (i.e., original receipts, final hotel folio, Missing or Inadequate Documentation Report wherever required, etc.; see "Documentation Requirements" section).
Documentation Requirements
Appropriate Documentation for Common Business Expenses
As noted in the "General Reimbursement Guidelines" section of this document, New York University is subject to certain rules of the federal government, specifically those rules that apply to how the University records and reports expenses.
The University accepts funds from the federal government and is therefore required to abide by its cost accounting policies. Those policies apply not just to the federal funds themselves but to all funds at the University.
The federal government mandates that certain costs must not be charged directly to a federal fund, or charged indirectly to a federal fund through the University's facility and administrative (indirect) cost rate. See Appendix 1 for a list of common federal unallowable costs. For specific guidance on federal unallowable costs that the
University may permit and reimburse, see the Business Expenses Policy of the University.
To ensure University compliance to the federal rule on "unallowable costs" and IRS guidelines, the University requires that expenses submitted for reimbursement be appropriately documented. The documentation that best satisfies federal requirements are the original vendor-generated receipts that identify each item purchased. In cases where original vendor-generated receipts are not available or possible, other appropriate documentation may be submitted.
Documentation, to be deemed appropriate or adequate, should show as much as possible the type of expenses incurred and should establish that federal "unallowable costs," if part of the expenses, are identified and segregated. Table 1 below lists some documentation deemed appropriate for specific business expenses.
Note: The University prefers to get receipts for all expenses submitted for reimbursement. It will however reimburse approved non-meal expenses under $25 without receipts. Expenses related to meals, regardless of the amount, require receipts to be reimbursed.
Table 1: Appropriate Documentation for Common Business Expenses
Paper Ticket: The original "passenger receipt coupon" from the airline that is usually issued to a passenger when a printed paper ticket has been purchased.
Electronic Ticket: Passengers who are issued electronic tickets should request
a "passenger receipt coupon," or, when purchase is made online, attach a printout of the page confirming the purchase.
Car Rental
Car rental agreement or receipt for payment made.
Cell Phones
Monthly itemized bill
Registration receipt, which should show name, date, venue, and registration
cost for conference or seminar.
Foreign Currency
All expenses paid in foreign currency should be reported in U.S. dollars. The conversion rate as indicated by the University's banking institution for the period in which the purchase was made should be included on the form. Any fee paid for currency conversion is reimbursable and should be supported by the receipt provided by the establishment that processed the conversion.
The final hotel folio or itemized bill for lodging and expenses charged to the room.
When hotels do not include charges for a room in the hotel folio, as in cases when hotel accommodations were not arranged directly with the hotel but "purchased" online through Web sites guaranteeing low, flat rates, the printout of your online transaction should serve as appropriate documentation.
Internet Connection
Vendor statement
Meals (Non-Travel)/Catering Related to
Business Meetings or Events
Meals during business meetings and events are examples of occasions at which certain costs deemed unallowable by the federal government may ordinarily be incurred (e.g., alcoholic beverages; see Appendix 1, OMB Circular A-21, Section J-2). To avoid the inadvertent inclusion of such costs to direct or indirect charges to federal funds, federal guidelines require that such costs be identified and segregated in the University's general ledger.
The best documentation therefore for expenses related to meals and catering are original, itemized receipts showing detailed list of food and beverages purchased. Itemized receipts establish that federal unallowable costs are either (a) not part of the expenses, or (b) part of the expenses but are identified, segregated, and charged to an appropriate NYU account.
Restaurant tabs and credit card slips by themselves are not the best documentation for the reason that they cannot validate the types of expenses incurred. However, the University is cognizant of cases and circumstances where itemized receipts may not be available or obtainable. Some establishments may issue receipts that only provide a summary of expenses with the total charges; others issue only a customer's portion of a tab that indicates total charges. In such cases, the University will deem "appropriate" documentation those "summary receipts" and tabs; and in cases where receipts are not available at all, those credit card slips generated when payment was made using a credit card. However, the following conditions apply:
the expense report should include a notation that no alcoholic beverages are included in the expenses incurred; or,
when the expenses include alcoholic beverages, the report should specify the cost, segregate it from federal allowable costs, and charge it to an appropriate NYU account.
Business Purpose
Also required for reimbursement of business meal expenses is the substantiation of the meal itself as having a business purpose. When reporting expenses, include the reason for the business meal, the names of individuals present, and their affiliations.
Meals During Travel
Individuals who travel on University business are reimbursed for meal expenses they incur in two ways: according to actual, substantiated costs, or at an established "per diem" rate. Travelers cannot switch between these two methods on one trip; the method travelers choose applies to all meal expenses incurred throughout a trip.
Based on actual substantiated costs
When opting to be reimbursed based on actual costs of each meal, travelers are required to provide detailed receipts or other appropriate documentation for all meals taken throughout the trip. Gratuities for meals are deemed part of the meal cost and will be reimbursed by the University provided these are reasonable (that is, do not exceed 20% of total meal cost).
Based on "per diem" rate
The alternative to keeping receipts and other appropriate documentation for each meal during travel is the "per diem," or being reimbursed at an amount set as meal allowance for each day of travel. The per diem applies only when overnight travel is involved. The per diem rate is $50.
For foreign per diem rates applicable to federally sponsored projects, refer to www.state.gov/travel.
Business Purpose
Meals taken by employees during business travel are deemed "business meals." The business purpose of the trip also serves as the business purpose for the meals.
Private Vehicles
Receipts for expenses related to the use of private vehicles for University business such as those issued by toll stations or parking facilities. Reimbursement request should include mileage calculation. For current rate, see the CDV Web site (www.nyu.edu/cdv/policies).
Telephone/Fax Charges
If made from home, the monthly bill detailing calls or fax transmissions made. If made at commercial establishments, the vendor-generated receipt showing amount, date, and type of expense. If charged to the hotel room, these charges should be included in the final hotel folio.
Office Supplies
(Incidental Purchases)
Original receipt issued by the vendor
Request for reimbursement must also include an explanation why office supplies were purchased outside of the University's regular procurement methods.
Online Purchases
Printout of the page confirming the purchase; or, a printout of the page summarizing the type of purchase made, the date, and the amount.
When reporting expenses that are not supported by original receipts or by other documentation deemed appropriate in Table 1 above, you are required to provide other proofs of purchase and/or other documentation to support the validity of your expense. See next section, "Missing or Inadequate Documentation."
Missing or Inadequate Documentation
When the original receipts of expenses that you are requesting reimbursement for have been lost or cannot be obtained, you need to provide other documentation that may support the validity of your expenses.
When submitting documentation in lieu of original receipts, complete a "Missing/Inadequate Documentation Report" (see Forms section). Explain on the Report why original receipts are not available, and indicate other documentation that you are providing to support your request to be reimbursed by the University for the expenses you are reporting. Check the policy of your school, department, or unit as it may require that the Report be signed by an individual designated specifically to review and approve the Report before the request is submitted to the "Approver." Attach this Report with your documentation to your request form
Note: The "Missing/Inadequate Documentation Report" is intended to respond to valid, unavoidable instances where original receipts or appropriate documentation (see Table 1) cannot be obtained or were lost. The Report is not required for the following:
expenses under $25 (except meal expenses that, regardless of amount, must be supported by receipts);
business meal expenses incurred in establishments that do not issue itemized receipts, or for which original itemized receipts have been lost. As noted in Table 1 above, credit card slips or statements and restaurant tabs are deemed "appropriate" and acceptable when the expense report comes with the required notation that federal "unallowable costs" are not included or are segregated;
expenses related to individual's meals during business travel, when the traveler has opted for the "per diem" method of reimbursement (reimbursement is made at an established allowance for meals each day and therefore receipts are not required to establish actual costs incurred; see "Documentation Requirements" section above).
Note: Schools are advised to review habitual inability to provide original receipts and other appropriate documentation.
Appropriate Documentation for Other Expenses
Volunteer Travel
Travel expenses of individuals who volunteer for University functions or activities are reimbursed when travel itself has a valid business purpose and has been approved in writing by the appropriate University designee (see the Business Expenses Policy for more information). Necessary for reimbursement is the memo from the Approver showing the business purpose of the travel and explaining the involvement of the volunteer in the function or activity of the University.
When the volunteer happens to be a spouse who accompanies the University employee on business travel, additional requirements must be met as the expenses may be deemed personal expenses of the employee. The University will permit and reimburse expenses related to spousal travel when the spouse fits the definition of a volunteer and travel serves a legitimate business purpose, is appropriately substantiated, and is approved in advance by the school, department or unit responsible for the expenses. See the Business Expenses Policy of the University for details.
When expenses related to spousal travel are submitted to the University for reimbursement, a memo establishing all points below must be attached to the request for payment or reimbursement submitted to the University:
that the spouse served or will serve as a volunteer whose duties or functions are necessary and essential, not just beneficial, to University business; and,
that the attendance of the spouse is not primarily for vacation purposes.
Note: Accounts Payable will not process requests for payment or reimbursement unless the memo is attached.
Reimbursement of expenses related to spousal travel is based on actual substantiated costs. Due to federal rules on unallowable costs, every expense related to spousal travel must be identified and segregated. Itemized receipts are necessary to establish the type of expenses incurred. Also, due to IRS regulations on expense reimbursement, detailed records such as an expense log should be kept on the spouse's expenses as well as detailed vendor-generated receipts. When expenses of both travelers are reported on a single form, those of the spouse must be identified and segregated from those of the NYU employee.
Student Travel
The University may reimburse the travel expenses of students who are not NYU employees only when travel meets the criteria established in the Business Expenses Policy of the University.
Reimbursement for expenses incurred by students on approved travel are not reportable as income to the student, provided detailed receipts are provided along with documentation that establishes the business purpose of the expenses.
Independent Contractors and Consultants
Expenses incurred by independent contractors and consultants may be reimbursed when travel itself is legitimate and authorized, when expenses are deemed permissible by the Business Expenses Policy of the University, and expenses are not part of the service/contract fees.
Necessary for reimbursement are original receipts. When no original receipts are provided, the reimbursement will be reported on IRS Form 1099.
Note: The Missing/Inadequate Documentation Report can be used only by University employees.
Requests for reimbursement to an independent contractor or consultant must be made on the Payment to Individual Form (IND4000) and indicated as not part of the individual's service fee. The Expense Breakdown Sheet for Travel (EXP200T) must be attached, reporting every expense incurred by the individual. Approval of the appropriate University designee is necessary.
All other conditions and requirements established for reimbursements issued to University employees also apply to reimbursements issued to independent contractors and consultants. When the independent contractors or consultants are not citizens or residents of the United States, additional requirements may apply. See the IRS guidelines on the CDV Web site (www.nyu.edu/cdv/policies).
Expenses incurred in the conduct of University business generally should be accounted for within 30 days after the date of expenditure, completion of event, or (when expenses are related to overnight travel) return from a trip. All cash advances should be cleared within 30 days from the "end date" indicated on the Request for Advance Form (see "Clearing Cash Advances" section below).
Reimbursement requests submitted late may jeopardize the University's ability to satisfy the IRS "accountable plan" requirements.
The University has designated certain individuals with the authority to approve financial transactions in specific areas, or to approve the charging of expenses to specific funds/accounts. Their names and samples of their signatures are maintained in Accounts Payable. All requests for reimbursements must bear the signature of the appropriate "Approver."
Note: In no case should any individual request a subordinate to approve his/her request for reimbursement. Also, in no case should the Approver and the Payee be the same individual.
Rubber stamp signatures and proxy signatures are not acceptable. Proxy signatures are usually executed by "unofficial" designees, who write an Approver's name then affix their own initials to indicate that the signature is executed on behalf or in the absence of the Approver.
Approver Responsibilities
The "Approver" is responsible for verifying the following:
that the expense is permitted under the Business Expenses Policy of the University, and that no nonreimbursable expenses are included (see "General Reimbursement Guidelines" section for examples of non-reimbursable expenses);
that funds to which the expense is charged are sufficient;
that documentation is adequate and correct (In case of inadequate or missing documentation, the approver's signature signifies that he/she is aware of the fact, has verified the explanation, and deems the expense valid for reimbursement);
that any exception to policy has been noted and found appropriate.
Clearing Cash Advances
Cash advances are amounts issued upon authorized request to regular employees who are about to travel for University business, or are making arrangements for a future business event. Also deemed cash advances are those payments made by Accounts Payable to the agency administering the NYU Travel Card, on behalf of regular employees, for authorized expenses related to a future business event or travel.
Cash advances should be cleared within 30 days from the "end date" specified on the Cash Advance Request form (see "Timing" section in this document).
Unused portions of a cash advance should be returned to the University within the prescribed time period. To return unused cash advances, submit to Accounts Payable a completed Form EXP2000 with a check payable to NYU attached. Checks or cash intended to clear outstanding cash advances should not be deposited at the Office of the Bursar.
Cancelled Trips/Events
Employees and students who have purchased tickets for trips that are subsequently cancelled should inquire about using the same ticket for future travel. Unused tickets or flight coupons have a cash value and must not be discarded or destroyed. A copy of the unused ticket must be attached to Form EXP2000; the ticket itself must be kept by schools, departments, or units for future use of the employee. Indicate on the form that these tickets have been submitted to the area's administrative office.
If the event or trip that was cancelled involved expenses that were earlier paid using personal funds, it is the responsibility of the employee to request a refund or to recover the advance payment wherever possible.
Note: The University will only reimburse those expenses related to a cancelled trip or event if the cancellation was due to circumstances beyond an employee's control. A memo explaining the cancellation should be attached to Form EXP2000.
Other expenses related to events or trips that are cancelled or moved to later dates due to unavoidable or work-related reasons will be reimbursed. Such expenses include charges made by airlines for ticket modifications or by hotels for cancelled reservations.
If a cash advance was received for an event or trip that was subsequently cancelled, submit a completed and approved Expense Reimbursement Form (Form EXP2000) to Accounts Payable indicating "Event Cancelled." Attach a check payable to NYU in the amount of cash advance you received from the University.
Tax Issues
The University is exempt from state and local sales taxes. Wherever possible, the University's tax exemption certificate should be presented to the vendor in order for sales tax to be excluded from total charges on legitimate purchases of goods. This certificate is available in the administrative office of each school,
department or unit, as well as from Accounts Payable in the Controller's Division and from Purchasing Services (sees "Contacts"). Sales tax on goods that exceed $150, the University's administrative definition of a petty cash transaction, will not be reimbursed.
Record Retention
The University and the federal government require that records related to the reimbursement of business expenses incurred by University employees must be retained for a prescribed length of time. In case of audit, these records provide the materials that support the tax reports made by the University. The Controller's Division is responsible for maintaining and retaining such records as those listed below for the period of time required by law, and for making them readily available for audit. Other records related to expense reimbursement that are not submitted to the Controller's Division should be retained by individuals or originating units. For further guidance, see the Record Retention Policy of the University.
Records related to expense reimbursement that are retained by the Controller's Division include:
original receipts or other documentation that support the validity of the expenses being reported for reimbursement;
request for reimbursement forms;
attachments such as the Expense Breakdown Sheet and the Missing/Inadequate Documentation Affidavit;
any memo that may have been necessary to support the request for reimbursement.
