Use the smaller sizes for Chirashi sushi, which is a type of sushi that has a number of toppings "scattered" on a bed of loose sushi rice. Although chirashi toppings can be nearly anything, pieces of vegetable are the most common. One bowl of chirashi has a number of toppings (nine is a common number), and sometimes do not even contain seafood or fish. Toppings vary regionally.
Larger sizes can be used for serving large groups in restaurants or when entertaining special guests in a home party,

The National Weather Service in Calera today issued a winter storm watch for much of Alabama, including the Anniston area, for a 12-hour period on Thursday. (Wednesday night that was upgraded to a winter storm warning.)
The Weather Service watch statement predicts between one-half inch and two inches of snow will accumulate, with the possibility of up to four inches in some spots.
Rain is expected to change to snow in the Anniston area between noon and 2 p.m. on Thursday, with snow lasting through the early evening.
No travel problems are expected, according to Scott Unger, a Weather Service meteorologist, as conditions have been too warm recently for snow to accumulate on roadways.
Weather Service officials are more concerned about rain freezing over roadways Thursday night and into Friday morning, Unger said. According to the service, Anniston will have a low of 27 degrees Thursday night.
Most Calhoun County school districts have so far not altered their schedules for Thursday.
"As always we will monitor this event for possible changes," said Mike Fincher, director of safety for the Calhoun County Schools, in an email sent this morning.
Administrators with Anniston, Oxford, Jacksonville and Piedmont schools also said this morning that they are monitoring the weather, but are not planning on altering class schedules.
Piedmont schools Superintendent Matt Akin said his system won't make an absolute determination until officials consult with the Calhoun County Emergency Management Agency and other area school superintendents Thursday morning, he said.
Weather Service meteorologists expect Thursday to be breezy, and Unger said they're hoping those winds will dry the roadways. If not, motorists can expect ice on the roads, especially elevated roadways like bridges, he said.
Unger also warned residents that meteorologists expect temperatures to get even colder next week, with highs in the 30s and lows in the teens.

text: Carlos Vives is back with a new album and it already has two hits on Billboard music charts. Titled Corazon Profundo, Vives says that he found rhythms from the bottom of his heart. His debut song "Volvi A Nacer" was the first song that Carlos put together for the album and in order to write it, he went back to his native land of Colombia to find inspiration. The multi Grammy-winner says he's thrilled to be coming back into the music industry after eight years because he missed the life he was used to.

We were two sombre boys hunched in our coats, grim winter settling in. The college was at the edge of a small town way upstate, barely a town, maybe a hamlet, we said, or just a whistle stop, and we took walks all the time, getting out, going nowhere, low skies and bare trees, hardly a soul to be seen. This was how we spoke of the local people: they were souls, they were transient spirits, a face in the window of a passing car, runny with reflected light, or a long street with a shovel jutting from a snowbank, no one in sight.
We were walking parallel to the tracks when an old freight train approached and we stopped and watched. It seemed the kind of history that passes mostly unobserved, a diesel engine and a hundred boxcars rolling over remote country, and we shared an unspoken moment of respect, Todd and I, for times past, frontiers gone, and then walked on, talking about nothing much but making something of it. We heard the whistle sound as the train disappeared into late afternoon.
This was the day we saw the man in the hooded coat. We argued about the coat—loden coat, anorak, parka. It was our routine; we were ever ready to find a matter to contest. This was why the man had been born, to end up in this town wearing that coat. He was well ahead of us and walking slowly, hands clasped behind his back, a smallish figure turning now to enter a residential street and fade from view.
"A loden coat doesn't have a hood. A hood isn't part of the context," Todd said. "It's a parka or an anorak."
"There's others. There's always others."
"Name one."
"Duffel coat."
"There's duffel bag."
"There's duffel coat."
"Does the word imply a hood?"
"The word implies toggles."
"The coat had a hood. We don't know if the coat had toggles."
"Doesn't matter," I said. "Because the guy was wearing a parka."
" 'Anorak' is an Inuit word."
"So what."
"I say it's an anorak," he said.
I tried to invent an etymology for the word "parka" but couldn't think fast enough. Todd was on another subject—the freight train, laws of motion, effects of force, sneaking in a question about the number of boxcars that trailed the locomotive. We hadn't stated in advance that a tally would be taken, but each of us had known that the other would be counting, even as we spoke about other things. When I told him now what my number was, he did not respond, and I knew what this meant. It meant that he'd arrived at the same number. This was not supposed to happen—it unsettled us, it made the world flat—and we walked for a time in chagrined silence. Even in matters of pure physical reality, we depended on a friction between our basic faculties of sensation, his and mine, and we understood now that the rest of the afternoon would be spent in the marking of differences.
We headed back for a late class.
"An anorak is substantial. The thing he was wearing looked pretty flimsy," I said. "And an anorak would have a fur-lined hood. Consider the origin of the word. You're the one who brought up the Inuits. Wouldn't an Inuit use fur to line his hood? They have polar bear. They have walrus. They need coats with bulk and substance top to bottom."
"We saw the guy from behind," he said. "How do you know what kind of hood it was? From behind and from a distance."
Consider the origin of the word. I was using his Inuit lore against him, forcing him to respond reasonably, a rare sign of weakness on his part. Todd was a determined thinker who liked to work a fact or an idea to the seventh level of interpretation. He was tall and sprawling, all bony framework, the kind of body not always in synch with its hinges and joints. Somebody said that he seemed the love child of storks, others thought ostriches. He did not seem to taste food; he consumed it, absorbed it, ingestible matter of plant or animal origin. He spoke of distances in metres and kilometres, and it took me a while to understand that this was not an affectation so much as a driving need to convert units of measurement more or less instantaneously. He liked to test himself on what he knew. He liked to stop walking to emphasize a point as I walked on. This was my counterpoint, to let him stand there talking to a tree. The shallower our arguments, the more intense we became.
I wanted to keep this one going, to stay in control, to press him hard. Did it matter what I said?
"Even from a distance the hood looked too small to be fur-lined. The hood was snug," I said. "A true anorak would have a hood that's roomy enough to fit a woollen cap underneath. Isn't that what the Inuits do?"
The campus appeared in fragments, through ranks of tall trees on the other side of a country road. We lived in a series of energy-efficient structures with solar panels, turfed rooftops, and red cedar walls. Classes were held in the original buildings, several massive concrete units known collectively as the Cellblock, a bike ride or long walk away from the dorms, and the flow of students back and forth in tribal swarms seemed part of the architecture of the place. This was my first year here, and I was still trying to interpret the signs and adapt to the patterns.

MTV Movie Awards: Best and Worst Dressed
The annual MTV Awards are the anti-Oscars. For starters, "The Avengers" won best picture, Taylor Lautner received the Best Shirtless Performance award, and comedic actress Audrey Plaza may have drunkenly stormed the stage to take Will Farrell's golden popcorn trophy. Aside from onstage antics, the outfits were also far riskier and tackier than any Academy Awards red carpet in history, as perhaps they should be. Here are our picks for best and worst dressed.

Whether you are a gardening enthusiast or simply starting out, the Flymo gardening blog can provide tips and advice on how to make your garden the envy of all your neighbours.The Flymo gardening blog is updated twice a month and contains helpful buyers guides for garden tools, gardening tips and advice on what seeds to plant each month and more.

Traditionally mid spring to late autumn is the optimal time to grow your own lawn. The weather is warmer (optimum grass growing temperature is between 6 and 20 Celsius) and the soil is still moist providing suitable conditions to promote good grass growth. Growing your own grass is cheaper than laying new turf, and once the seed has been laid requires very little work.
A great looking lawn is not only the ideal location for a summer BBQ with family and friends, but it can add value to your home too. This can be easily achieved whilst you sit in your armchair and watch the TV.
Spring has finally arrived! The sun is out and many of us are getting the lawnmower out for the first time this year, and getting ready to mow the lawn. For most, this is relatively painless, but for a few their lawnmower just won't work. Find some of the most common reasons why your electric lawnmower won't work and how to fix them.
Making your own compost is a great way to fertilise your garden for free. It can be made of almost anything and requires no technical skill. Ideally you should make your compost pile in the spring however you can make one at other times.
Thatch is an essential part of a healthy lawn. Too much however can prevent sunlight and rain water from reaching new blades of grass, preventing them from growing healthy and green. This article provides all the information you need to know about thatch and how to tell when your lawn needs dethatching.
Achieving a green lawn requires three main elements; regular maintenance, regular mowing and fertilisation. Each is just as important as the last and doesn't require hours of backbreaking hard work!
Thatch is naturally occurring and is essential for a healthy lawn, however too much can have the opposite effect. Scarifying (or de-thatching) your lawn is therefore an important part of any lawn maintenance program and should be done regularly for a healthy green lawn.
A fantastic looking lawn can be a brilliant feature for your house. It can be a place for sizzling a sausage on the barbeque during a summer party with friends, or a key selling point for your home. Follow our simple, easy to follow advice and achieve that lush green lawn with ease this summer.
Large areas of the UK have been recently been hit with flooding. We know the damage flooding can have on homes, but its effects on your garden can be just as devastating.
The beginning of the year is often a good time to trim your hedges and bushes before the summer sun and warmer weather encourages them to grow. Often hedges and bushes are key visual features of your garden and make a real impact on how your garden looks.

From what I've heard, the 3" guns can have some feed and jam problems. Some don't. Wouldn't stop me from buying a Kimber, although I'd probably go for a 4" just to be on the safe side.
Hey, I'm fairly new to handgunning. I recently purchased my first Kimber, Ultra Carry 2 (aegis). The question that I have is why all the negative reviews about Kimbers? So far I have 600 rounds through it and no problems. It is EXTREMELY accurate. I own several other pistols/revolvers and the Kimber is without a doubt the nicest of them all.The only modification will be to have an amedextrious safety installed as I am a lefty. The pistol that I own is in 9MM. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
From what I've heard, the 3" guns can have some feed and jam problems. Some don't. Wouldn't stop me from buying a Kimber, although I'd probably go for a 4" just to be on the safe side.
10-4. No problems with the 3 inch so far. I am looking to get a 5" model in the near future....another Kimber. thanks for the response and have a Merry "Christmas Vacation" .
I have a Kimber Ultra CDP II and not one problem, has turned into one of my carry pistols, something I thought would never happen.
Two things I never liked, 3" 1911s and lightweight 1911s. A local range was having Kimber days and I stopped by and fired an Ultra CDP II and I bought one that day. I shoot very tight groups with my CDP, never had a single problem, the light weight is NOT noticeable when shooting but very noticeable when carrying all day (carries great and forget I have it on). Have never been a Kimber fan but I'm hooked on this pistol. BTW my other carry pistol is a Les Baer Concept VII Commander.
You rarely hear about the good ones. A thread that says "MY gun works" wouldn't get read. Anyway, most of the 3" guns run just fine, if they didn't, no one would make them since the repair costs would eat the profit and then some.
My Ultra CDP II has been flawless for years and is carried regularly.
I am the owner of a new Kimber UC II 45 Stainless, which took its first trip to the range today. It fired and cycled flawlessly thru 50 rounds of factory FMJ ball ammo.
My wife also shot it, and fell in love with it. Now she wants one of her own.
I had a 4" Kimber CDP. I sent it back for service 3 times. It never did work well. I sold it.
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." -Mark Twain
It's true that threads that say "my gun works" won't be seen much. But in the course of my work at Galco, I talked to many unsatisfied Kimber owners. And of four shooting buddies who bought Kimbers in the last couple of years, three of them sold the guns because they didn't work. None of these guys were neophytes.
These conversations, along with watching various 1911s puke at Front Sight, made me dispense with the 1911 for defensive carry altogether. Now I carry Glocks.

All opinions, particularly those involving politics and Glocks, are mine and not Galco's.
never had any problems on any of my kimbers , including the ultra compact (every day carry)
I considered it my "wish list" gun for a long time. I am starting to re-think that based on some of the posts I have read.
Regardless of what forum you read many of the threads about most brands will be about some type of problem. A happy owner tells one or two people, an unhappy owner tells everyone. Other times folks are just looking for a little help to solve a small function problem. Quite often the problem seems to be related to inexperience with firearms, particularly 1911's.
A Glock group is probably about the only one that you can read where all is positive. Glocks are all perfect and not one has ever failed. They all shoot x-ring even at super long distances and you can drop them out of airplanes and they will still work. Just ask them.
1911s are gorgeous.
The majority of 1911s work fine.
1911s are accurate.
1911s are slim.
1911s are romantic.
That said... 1911s where designed, ummmm, 90 friggin years ago.
1969 Camaros are gorgeous.
Professionally rebuilt 1969 Camaros USUALLY work fine.
1969 Camaros are fast, but not nearly as fast as a modern one.
1969 Camaros are light, for 1969...
1969 Camaros are romantic.... no doubt.
There are people who prefer to drive a 1969 Camaro, over a new one... But if we're racing around Willow Springs Raceway for pink slips... Give me the modern car.
MODERN Kimbers are still based in a nearly 100 year old design, that HAS been improved on, despite the rantings of the WWJMBD-crowd (What Would John Moses Browning Do)... You think Glock-Guys are bad?????????
I'll CARRY an ugly, cheap, MODERN XD, Glock, or M&P, over a 1911 any day. Same reason.
My 2 cents...
Jeff Ward
I own a stainless ultra carry II and love the damn thing, its accurate, flawless and never lets me down. fired over 1000 rounds of all kinds of crap ammo and premium loads, keeps on running like the energizer bunny. I carry it mostly when im on my bike and its ease of carry makes me glad I purchased it.
love my kimbers have a 3" no malfuntions use power ball in it takes any ammo i give it also have 4" that takes any ammo i give it both no problems at all both shoot a 1 1/2" at 30 yards easy
I love my Kimbers! I used to carry my Pro CDP II & then I bought an Ultr CDP II & carry it all the time. I'm in the process of buying a Team Match II for the range. I have had ZERO problems with either gun but I'm anal about cleaning & logging usage. I just ordered replacement springs to have on hand when needed.
I currently have 3 Kimbers: Pro CDP II, Pro Raptor and a Pro Covert. I have put an aggregate of 4000 rounds through these guns and have NEVER had a feed/extraction problem ever. My very first Kimber stove piped a few rounds when it was new. I sent it back to Kimber and they fixed it and air expressed it back to me (over night) in ONE day! It never jammed again. I have owned Les Baer guns and I even owned a Wilson Combat Stealth at one time. ALL very fine guns but I must say that my Kimbers shoot every bit as well as any 45 I have ever used. When the chips are down and the excrement hits the fan I will put my Kimber up against any 45 out there. Thanks for reading my post. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Grew up around 1911s. My first real pistol was a revolver, but soon graduated to 1911s. It is my prefered platform because it is what I am most comfortable with. But that does not stop me from owning or enjoying other brands and types. Yes it has been around along time and that speaks for the validity of its design. All modern semiautos are reliable to a degree because of the computers used nowadays in their manufacture. But I don't really recall any new break through design wise other than to use different materials. Most semiautos still have a slide that reacts and moves the same way that the 1911 does.
I'm one guys th of those 1911 guys that don't much like a Kimber. For me it's a feel thing. I just don't get the lovin' feeling when I pick one up. I know several people that swear by them and have had no problems with them. I believe that they are good pistols. I just like other makers more. I really like Para Ord though and know a lot of people that do not. So I guess it's just a what you like thing.
I think many people that don't like Kimber or have had troubles bought a target model that is a lot tighter then tried to carry it. Most target models for any maker will be more picky about what it wants to eat.
I have had my Ultra Aegis for nearly a year without a malfunction of any sort,nearly 700 rounds of mixed ammo.I would definately purchase again if needed.And I carry it daily,so I do trust it.
I've heard that the 3" have feeding problems as well... Wouldn't stop me from buying a kimber because I know if such a problem occurred, Kimber would fix it, they have good customer service
Most people I know who own kimber have no problems
Kimber puts itself out there a a premium brand, and charges accordingly. This is fine. They make some very appealing pistols. However, when shopping at their price point I would think a warranty longer than one year wouldn't be asking too much.
One guy put a sour taste in my mouth about kimber and I don't think I will ever buy one because of it. This guy tried to rain on my parade when I ordered a Colt through my squadron that was engraved and my first pistol. This guy said "I don't know why your excited about a Colt when I get back I'm getting a Kimber they are twic$$$ and better than a Colt". I asked why and all I got back was Kimbers better and Kimber costs more.
I'll take my money elsewhere. Especially after seeing there release of there first Kimber designed pistol.

Welcome to Woodstock, New York (NY), "Colony of the Arts" since 1902.
Woodstock Playhouse
Chamber Information Booth
"The goal of the colony, inspired by the ideas of John Ruskin and William Morris, was to become self-sufficient by creating beautiful and useful objects which could be sold to support the community."
A brief History of Woodstock by Edgar Leacraft,
former Woodstock Town Historian:
The Byrdcliffe Colony, also called the Byrdliffe Arts
Colony or Byrdcliffe Historic District, was founded by Jane and
Ralph Whitehead and colleagues, Bolton
Brown (artist) and Hervey
White (writer). The
Arts and Crafts Movement arose in the late nineteenth century in reaction
to the dehumanizing monotony and standardization of industrial production. It
was created as an experiment in utopian living inspired by the arts and crafts
movement. It remains focused on the development of artistic vision.

53% children don't know meaning of Easter and 25% think it's celebrating Easter bunny's birthday
Firstly happy Easter folks.
There's been a slew of rather disheartening stats released relating to Easter.
The Daily Star has picked up on a poll conducted by the hotel chain Travelodge:
A QUARTER of children reckon Easter is about celebrating the Easter Bunny's birthday.
53% do not know what Easter is, instead seeing it as just a chance to scoff chocolate.
The BBC note that ++Williams is expected to warn against downgrading religious education in schools in his Easter message. Frankly, if the above stats are to be accepted, it would seem that religious education in schools is already failing.
British Religion in Numbers have covered a YouGov poll that finds:
Spending time with family and friends is the most important part of Easter for 43% of Britons, followed by having a break from work (18%) and only thirdly the festival's religious meaning (17%), with the exchanging of Easter eggs trailing at 2%.
79% of respondents had no plans to go to church over the Easter period, 16% thought they might (three-quarters of them on Easter Sunday), with 5% uncertain. It is likely that the good intentions of many of the 16% may well not translate into reality.

Thanks. I have the flange spacers so now I can do it either way, spacers on the subfloor or on top of tiles. I'll let fear be my guide once I start tiling the floor.
We took delivery of the tub(American Standard Princeton). The instructions call for a 13 5/8" high 2x4 string across the back wall. I set up a laser level and found the highest 13 5/8" measurement based on all 4 corners of the tub and then used that for my height. It also didn't call for stringers on the two shorts sides, but the old tub had them, so I put put them up to. Is there any reason to NOT have stringers for the front and back as well?
The plan is to "dry fit" the tub, shim the apron as needed and then for the final install set the tub in a bunch of piles of mortar that will be squeezed down so the tub sits on the strings and apron shims set up during the dry run.
Here's a photo of the tub stringer with the laser level:

Treasury Management Operations
|Section: Treasury Management
|Number: 105.100
|Title: Treasury Management Operations
Cash management services are the responsibility of the Oregon State Treasury's Finance Division, Cash Management Section. The Treasury maintains accounts for OUS in which each institution's cash balances are held. Each institution deposits and disburses funds through these Treasury accounts. The Treasury contracts with banks to provide institutions a method to deposit money into their accounts at Treasury. The Treasury's Cash Management Manual provides the policies that all state agencies, including OUS, must follow in managing our cash transactions and balances.
The OUS cash management operations policy and related procedures provide additional detail on the types of accounts that the Chancellor's Office and institutions use at the Treasury to process cash transactions. This policy details the functions that must be completed to ensure maintenance of reconciled balances between OUS Banner instances and the Treasury. In addition, it defines the responsibilities of both the Chancellor's Office and institutions in performance of duties related to cash management.
Within the Oregon University System, responsibilities for cash management exist at both the Chancellor's Office and the institutions. This policy is intended to define distinctions between functional responsibilities for both the Chancellor's Office and institutions. In particular, as a result of the Fiscal Accountability Framework (FAF) project review of Treasury Management, some institutions may now perform functions previously completed by the Chancellor's Office. Therefore, differentiation of functions between institutions performing their own cash reconciliations and those for whom centralized reconciliations are completed must be defined.
An additional outcome of the FAF project was the assignment of responsibility for maintenance of positive fund cash balances to the Vice Presidents for Finance and Administration at each institution, with the understanding that they may further delegate this responsibility as necessary. This policy formalizes that assignment of responsibility as part of the broader definition of duties related to cash management.
This policy and related procedures also document the various accounts that the institutions may utilize for processing cash transactions. These include suspense checking accounts as well as other Treasury bank accounts, revolving fund accounts, and petty cash funds.
The basis for this policy is provided in the following:
- ORS 293.875 State Treasurer as state cash management officer
- ORS 351.540 Board Checking Account
- OAR 580-040-0005(8) Vice Chancellor for Finance & Administration signs claims, payrolls, and checks
- IMD 6.004 Accounting policies for cash funds
- IMD 6.005 Cash receipts deposited promptly

Approved by the Senior Vice Chancellor for Finance & Administration on January 20, 2005, with an effective date of January 24, 2005. This policy supersedes FASOM Section 13.07: Purchasing -- Cash Management.
All Chancellor's Office and institutional personnel with fiscal responsibilities in the area of treasury management should be knowledgeable about this policy and related procedures.
A glossary of terms related to cash management is available in the Oregon State Treasury's Cash Management Manual. The manual can be accessed on the web at: http://www.ost.state.or.us/Services/CashMgmt/Manual.asp
The Senior Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration is responsible for System fiscal policy, including the Treasury Management Operations policy.
Functional responsibilities of institutions and the Controller's Division in the area of treasury management operations are detailed under Policy section .170[2] Suspense Checking Accounts Responsibilities.
[1] Suspense Checking Accounts Overview
OUS maintains separate suspense checking and payroll accounts at the State Treasurer's Office for each institution. Suspense accounts are the primary checking and clearing account for each university. Each institution is authorized to issue checks on its suspense and payroll accounts. If a situation arises that requires a separate revolving fund checking account, an institution may still establish such an account. (See Policy section .180)
[2] Suspense Checking Accounts Responsibilities
The Controller's Division will be responsible for the following functions:
- Reconcile all Treasury bank accounts. This function may be delegated from the Controller to the institutions.
- Analyze monthly Banner expenditures by bank code (e.g., bond building fund, student activities fund and donation fund) and reimburse suspense checking accounts. This function may be delegated from the Controller to the institutions.
- Coordinate electronic funds transfers and automated clearinghouse transfers with the State Treasurer. This function may be delegated from the Controller to the institutions.
- Reconcile cash impact of inter-institutional transactions and transfer cash between institution suspense checking accounts accordingly.
- Act as liaison with the State Treasurer's Office for responsibilities not delegated to the institutions.
- Authorize institution personnel to disburse funds from the Oregon State Treasury.
- Create a process to produce cash modification reports (FWRSBCD and FWRCAAD) at the Controller's Division and create a file of any unposted inter-institutional journal vouchers each week from the institution FIS database.
Institutions will be responsible for the following functions:
- Maintaining positive cash balances in all funds at all times. Balances shall be monitored both within Banner and at the Treasury. Ultimate responsibility for maintenance of positive cash balances is assigned to the Vice President for Finance and Administration at each institution. This responsibility may be further delegated within each institution by the Vice President for Finance and Administration if formalized within institutional policy.
General Policy Statement:
In general, all funds should maintain positive cash balances at all times.
Cost Reimbursable Grant Funds
By their nature, funds established to account for cost-reimbursable grants require expenditure of funds in advance of the receipt of grant funds. If an institution does not record inter-fund loans to recognize the substance of the negative balances in funds accounting for cost reimbursable grants, positive balances within the Education and General funds must be offset with the negative balances of cost-reimbursable grant funds to properly measure compliance with this policy. In that case, funds within the Education and General funds group operating out of the same Treasury bank account must maintain sufficient cash balances to offset negative balances within cost reimbursable grant funds.
Operating Units with Multiple Funds
It is recognized that institutions may have units that operate out of multiple funds. In those cases, if the funds of the operating unit roll up to a single fund in the accounting system and those funds all operate out of the same Treasury bank account, the control point for purposes of measuring the positive balance mandate would be the roll-up fund. Individual funds within those units may be negative but the total of the roll-up fund must be positive at all times.
- Maintaining appropriate internal controls over delegated treasury operations.
- Maintaining adequate security over check stock and facsimile software.
- Controlling the internal check-writing process.
- Replacing lost or forged checks.
- Providing the Controller's Division with timely data needed to perform its functions.
- Encoding Banner fund code records with correct bank codes (coordinate with the Controller's Division as needed).
- Processing inter-institutional transactions accurately and timely, and ensuring that inter-institutional transaction totals remain unchanged.
- Reviewing Bank Interfund Account Control (FGRCASH) and GL Subsidiary Ledger Control (FGRCTRL) reports for out-of-balance conditions daily.
- Additional responsibilities are assigned to institutions performing their own Treasury reconciliations and reimbursements:
- Reconcile all institution-specific Treasury bank accounts in a timely manner. Recommended timeframe is within 15 days of the close of each fiscal period.
- Analyze monthly Banner expenditures by bank code (e.g., bond building fund, student activities fund and donation fund) and reimburse suspense checking accounts.
- Determine that assignment of responsibilities for Treasury reconciliations and reimbursements meet standards of internal control, which includes segregation of duties. Assignment of responsibilities will be reviewed by the OUS Internal Audit Division.
- Perform certain liaison functions with the State Treasurer's Office:
- Timely interaction with Treasury regarding potentially fraudulent or counterfeit checks and check encoding errors, based on daily monitoring of Treasury check data. In the event that a counterfeit check is discovered, Treasury must be notified within one business day. Forged checks must be reported within 18 months and altered checks must be reported within six months.
- Interact with Treasury regarding Wires and incoming ACH.
- Utilize the State Treasurer's approved method to process monthly expense reimbursements. Current method for processing is through the State Treasury ACH Network (STAN).
- Coordinate with Treasury the receipt of electronic check and deposit data.
- Prepare bank account requests and signature authorization forms for submission to Treasury. Note that these forms will still be routed to the Controller for approval and signature prior to submission to the Treasury.
- Certify to the Controller that monthly reconciliation and reimbursement functions have been completed. (See Procedures section .710)
- Utilize the principles, standards and related requirements for cash management prescribed by the State Treasurer. These requirements can be found in the Oregon State Treasury Cash Management Manual. The manual can be accessed on the web at: http://www.ost.state.or.us/Service/CashMgmt/Manual.asp.
[1] Revolving Fund Checking Accounts Overview
Under rare circumstances and when necessary for efficiency, an institution may be authorized to establish revolving fund checking accounts. Such accounts are operated on an imprest basis, which means that the exact amount of fund expenditures is replaced periodically.
[2] Revolving Fund Checking Accounts Approval
Establishment of revolving fund checking accounts must be authorized by the Controller's Division and approved by the State Treasurer.
[3] Revolving Fund Checking Accounts Operations
Revolving fund checking accounts must not be operated at negative bank balances. To meet this requirement, procedures defined in the Procedures section .100 must be followed.
Petty cash funds may be established by each institution's Business Affairs office to fund minor departmental expenditures for which a procurement card or other purchasing procedures cannot practically be used. These funds are operated on an imprest basis, which means that the exact amount of fund expenditures is replaced periodically. At all times, the total of receipts plus cash on hand must equal the total of the petty cash fund. Institutions are responsible for establishing appropriate internal controls and for safeguarding the petty cash funds.
Petty cash funds must be recorded on the institution's balance sheet. Petty cash fund transactions must be entered in institution accounting records on a timely basis. As petty cash funds are reimbursed, the expenditures are recorded in the accounting records.
The Treasury Reconciliation and Reimbursement Certification Form (PDF format) is used for the monthly Certification of Treasury Reconciliation and Reimbursement process. (See Procedures, section .710)

01/20/05 - Approved. This policy supersedes FASOM Section 13.07: Purchasing -- Cash Management.
Policy Last Updated: 01/24/05
The following treasury management operations procedures are not a part of the treasury management operations policy. They may be modified by the Controller without re-approval of the policy by the Senior Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration.
As stated in the Policy section .180[3], revolving fund checking accounts must not be operated at negative bank balances. To meet this requirement, the following operational procedure must be followed:
- Enter revolving fund accounting transactions in institution accounting records on a timely basis.
- Reimburse the revolving fund checking account for any expenditures by generating a suspense check within FIS to the revolving fund. Institutions must deposit such suspense checks to revolving fund bank accounts immediately. These reimbursements are the only deposits made to revolving fund checking accounts.
- As an alternative to the above procedure, institutions may determine an initial amount to deposit in the revolving fund checking account; these funds come from the institution's suspense account. The revolving fund bank account is reimbursed periodically as in the above paragraph.
[1] Summary
This procedure defines the requirement for certification of certain distributed Treasury reconciliation and reimbursement processes.
[2] Scope
This procedure applies to institutions that have been given delegated responsibilities for Treasury reconciliation and reimbursement.
[3] Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to encourage efficiency and promote good internal control.
[4] Certification of Certain Distributed Processes
Each month, the institutional Director of Business Affairs, or designee, will certify that certain distributed reconciliation and reimbursement processes have been successfully completed. The processes covered by this certification will be established by the Controller. This certification will be submitted to the Controller within two weeks of the close of each period.
[5] Designation
The institutional Director of Business Affairs will designate an institutional employee responsible for reconciliation and reimbursement of Treasury accounts. The institution must determine that assignment of responsibilities for Treasury reconciliations and reimbursements meet standards of internal control. Assignment of responsibilities will be reviewed by the OUS Internal Audit Division. This designation will be communicated in writing to the Controller. Also, a substitute will be designated to serve in that employee's temporary absence.
[6] Exceptions
A legitimate business need may be identified which would not strictly conform to these guidelines. If that occurs, an exception may be requested. The Controller will evaluate the request and may grant an exception.

Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester KG KT KP GCB GCMG GCVO (Henry William Frederick Albert; 31 March 1900 – 10 June 1974) was a soldier and member of the British Royal Family, the third son of King George V and Queen Mary.
He was appointed potential regent for his niece, Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II), when his brother, King George VI, came to the throne in 1936, and was required to stay in the United Kingdom until she came of age in case her father died and she ascended the throne as a minor.
The Duke served as a soldier for most of his life. He was also the 11th Governor-General of Australia, from 1945 to 1947. At his death in 1974, he was the last surviving knight of the Order of St. Patrick as well as the last surviving child of King George V and Queen Mary.
Early life[edit]
Prince Henry was born on 31 March 1900, at York Cottage, on the Sandringham Estate.[1] His father was the Duke of York (later King George V), the eldest surviving son of the Prince of Wales, (later King Edward VII).[1] His mother was Mary of Teck, the only daughter of Prince Francis, Duke of Teck and Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge.[1] In 1898, Queen Victoria issued letters patent granting the children of the Duke and Duchess of York the style Royal Highness. Thus he was styled His Royal Highness Prince Henry of York from birth.
He was baptised at the private chapel of Windsor Castle on 17 May 1900, by Randall Thomas Davidson, Bishop of Winchester, and his godparents were: Queen Victoria (his great-grandmother); the German Emperor (his cousin, for whom Prince Albert of Prussia stood proxy); Princess Henry of Battenberg (his paternal great-aunt); the Duchess of Cumberland (his paternal great-aunt, whose sister, his grandmother the Princess of Wales represented her); Prince George of Greece (his cousin, for whom Prince Henry's paternal grandfather the Prince of Wales stood proxy); Princess Carl of Denmark (his paternal aunt, for whom her sister Princess Victoria of Wales stood proxy); Prince Alexander of Teck (his maternal uncle, for whom Prince Henry's great-uncle the Duke of Cambridge stood proxy); and Field Marshal The Earl Roberts (for whom General Sir Dighton Probyn stood proxy).[2] He was informally known to his family as Harry.[3]
Prince Henry attended St Peter's Court in Broadstairs[1] and Eton College[1] from September 1913 and during the First World War the house in which he lived, Mr. Lubbock's,[1] was also home to Crown Prince Leopold of Belgium (later Leopold III).
Military service[edit]
Unlike his brothers, Prince Henry joined the Army instead of the Royal Navy. He attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1919.[1] He later served with The King's Royal Rifle Corps and the 10th Royal Hussars[1] before retiring from the active list in 1937. Following the outbreak of World War II, he joined the British Expeditionary Force, serving as a Chief Liaison Officer.[1] He was slightly wounded in 1940 when his staff car was attacked from the air.[1] In 1940 he became second-in-command of 20th Armoured Brigade.[1] He was appointed a Field Marshal in 1955[1] and a Marshal of the Royal Air Force in 1958.[4]
Duke of Gloucester[edit]
On 31 March 1928,[5] his father created him Duke of Gloucester, Earl of Ulster, and Baron Culloden, three titles that linked him with three parts of the United Kingdom, namely England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. On 2 November 1930 he attended the coronation of Haile Selassie of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa.[1] In 1934 George V (as King of Ireland) made him a Knight of St Patrick, Ireland's chivalric order. It was the second to last time this order was awarded (the last appointment being the Duke of York, later George VI, in 1936); at the time of his death the Duke of Gloucester was the only remaining knight.
On 6 November 1935, Henry married Lady Alice Christabel Montagu Douglas Scott,[1] a daughter of John Montagu Douglas Scott, 7th Duke of Buccleuch. The marriage was originally planned to take place at Westminster Abbey, but was moved to the more low key Chapel Royal at St James's Palace owing to the death of Lady Alice's father shortly before the wedding.
Following their wedding, Alice was known as HRH The Duchess of Gloucester. Together they had two sons:[1]
- Prince William Henry Andrew Frederick of Gloucester (born 18 December 1941; died 28 August 1972).
- The Duke of Gloucester (Richard Alexander Walter George; born 26 August 1944). Married the Danish Birgitte van Deurs on 8 July 1972. The couple has three children:
- The Earl of Ulster, born 24 October 1974; married with issue.
- The Lady Davina Lewis, born 19 November 1977; married with issue.
- The Lady Rose Gilman, born 1 March 1980; married with issue.
Governor-General of Australia[edit]
In late 1944 the Duke was unexpectedly appointed Governor-General of Australia.[1] His younger brother, the Duke of Kent, had been offered the position, but he was killed in an air tragedy in Scotland. The Labor Party of the Prime Minister, John Curtin, had a policy of appointing Australians to the vice-regal post. In the circumstances of wartime, Curtin decided that appointing a member of the Royal Family would have three advantages. It would improve the likelihood that Britain would maintain its commitment to the defence of Australia, make the point that Australia had not become a dependency of the United States, and, given the protests that had arisen in conservative circles with the last Labor appointment, the Australian Sir Isaac Isaacs, would be a politically neutral choice.
The Duke had made a successful visit to Australia earlier, in 1934. The Duke was shy[1] and appeared stiff and formal to some. He and the Duchess travelled widely using his own plane during their time in office. When Curtin died in 1945, the Duke appointed Frank Forde as prime minister. Gloucester left Australia in March 1947, after two years in the job, due to the need to act as Regent during the absence in South Africa of his brother, King George VI.[1] As a parting gift he left his own plane for use by the government and people of Australia.
Later life[edit]
Returning to Britain, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester acquired Barnwell Manor in Northamptonshire, while retaining an apartment in Kensington Palace.
In May 1949, the Duke temporarily served in the office of Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. This appointment afforded him, for its duration, its Scottish precedence (immediately below the King) and style, His Grace The Lord High Commissioner.
The Duke attended the coronation of his niece, Elizabeth II in 1953. Both the Duke and Duchess carried out royal engagements, including several overseas tours.[1] In 1954 the Duke served as the Treasurer of the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn. He suffered a series of strokes in later years,[1] and was too ill to attend the funeral of the Duke of Windsor in 1972, and the wedding of his younger son.
After a series of strokes, the first one being in 1965, he was left in a wheelchair and unable to speak for the last remaining years of his life. His last public appearance was for the unveiling of Queen Mary's plaque at Marlborough House in 1967, where he appeared weak and considerably older than his brother the Duke of Windsor. In 1972, the Duke's elder son, Prince William, died in a plane crash.[1] The Duke was in such poor health that his wife hesitated whether to break the news or not, she later admitted in her memoirs that she didn't and that he probably understood from watching the television.[6] The Duke was the last surviving child of King George V and Queen Mary. He died on 10 June 1974. He was buried in the Royal Burial Ground, Frogmore. His second son, Prince Richard, inherited the title of Duke of Gloucester. The Duke's wife, Alice, received permission from Queen Elizabeth II to be styled "Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester" to distinguish herself from Prince Richard's wife. She survived until 2004, becoming the longest-lived member of the British Royal Family in history.[citation needed]

X17 XCLUSIVE - Miley Cyrus And Justin Bieber Have A Dinner Date
Posted on Tue May 11, 2010 07:25 AM PDT
Last night Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber grabbed dinner at Ari-Ya sushi in West Hollywood, and the two teen superstars were all smiles when we spotted them leaving the restaurant. Miley's driver picked Justin up at his hotel in WeHo, and the two originally planned on catching a movie, but they realized they showed up at the wrong time when they got to the Beverly Center, so they decided to eat sushi and stop by Pinkberry instead.
An X17 photog on the scene tells X17online exclusively:
"Miley and Justin were quite a pair! These two together at the mall was causing a riot. It's like the two most famous teen stars coming together to hang out and do regular teen stuff ... except they're not your average teens, they're superstars!"
When asked if they might be working on an album together, Miley replied "Maybe," and though there obviously wasn't a romantic connection, Justin certainly enjoyed the attention he received from tagging along with Miley! Or Miley with Justin? Who's the bigger star here?
Obvi Miley is...literally! She towers over him!
