Summer Travel Forecast: Better, But No Blowout
By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ and JONATHAN FAHEY
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ This summer, high rollers are flying to lavish hot spots for their vacations. The rest of us are driving to less luxurious places like nearby campgrounds.
The good news: At some U.S. campgrounds these days you get live bands, air guitar contests and chocolate pudding slip 'n slides.
Americans' plans for summer travel mirror the current state of the economy. Rising home prices and a soaring stock market are encouraging those at the top of the income ladder to take more extravagant trips. But large segments of the population are staying close to home because wages are stagnant, rents are high and the end of the payroll tax holiday has shrunk their take-home pay.For a travel industry still stinging from the Great Recession, that likely means another summer of steady, but slow, recovery. AAA, one of the nation's largest leisure travel agencies, isn't expecting a resounding start to vacation season this Memorial Day. Citing the "up and down economy," AAA expects 31.2 million Americans to hit the road this weekend, virtually the same number as last year. Throw in planes, trains and buses, and the number of travelers will drop about 1 percent, AAA says. As vacationers set out this summer, here's what they can expect: â¿¿ Gas prices about the same as last year. The national average price of gasoline was $3.65 a gallon Friday, 1 cent higher than during last year's Memorial Day weekend. Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at GasBuddy.com, expects prices to drift lower after the holiday and fall close to last summer's low of $3.33 per gallon before hurricane season starts to drag them up again. â¿¿ More expensive hotel rooms. The average hotel will cost $112.21, before taxes and any other add-on such as resort fees. That's up 4.4 percent from last year's $107.52, according to hotel research firm STR. Hotels are also expected to be slightly fuller, with occupancy rates climbing from 69.3 percent last summer to 70 percent this year.

Shell Ends Force Majeure on Phenol and Acetone
8:15 AM MDT | August 6, 2007 | Chemical Week Editorial Staff
Shell Chemical says it has lifted force majeure on phenol and acetone. Shell declared force majeure on both products in early May after severe storms downed a plant that supplied steam to its phenol-acetone plant at Deer Park, TX, forcing the phenol units offline. The plant has two lines with capacity totaling 600,000 m.t./year of phenol and 366,000 m.t./year of acetone. Market sources say the outage has not been a major problem because the phenol and acetone markets have come into better balance after some tightness. Phenol contract prices rose 8 cts/lb this...

Actor Kurt Russell declared he was astonished by his co-star, Dakota Fanning's performance in the in forthcoming film "Dreamer".
Russell, 54, who plays as Dakota's father in the movie, declared she is the best actress he worked with in his entire career and that he was astonished by her acting ability and well-rounded attitude.
Russell says, "I guarantee you, (Dakota) is the best actress I will work with in my entire career."
Speaking of her film reviews, Fanning says philosophically, "That's just somebody else's opinion. I don't think that's really for me to worry about."
According to official website, Kurt Russell (Ben Crane), Dakota Fanning (Cale Crane) and Kris Kristofferson (Pop) star in a drama about a father who, for the love of his daughter, sacrifices almost everything to save the life of an injured racehorse and bring the promising filly back to her former glory.
Ben Crane was once a great horseman, whose gifts as a trainer were now being wasted on making other men's fortunes.
Sonya was a great horse whose promising future on the racetrack was suddenly cut short by a career-ending broken leg. Considered as good as dead to her owner, who also happens to be Ben's boss, Sonya is given to Ben as severance pay, along with his walking papers.

This time of year can be as exciting as it can be nerve-racking -- for parents as well as students. The anticipation of beginning a new school year, making new friends, and learning new things can bring anxiety to families. It is both wise and considerate to take some time to prepare your children as the new school year begins.
- Get them back on track -- As the summer days wind down, put your kids on a schedule similar to the one they will have this fall. Gradually send them to bed earlier and wake them up early in the morning so that they will be used to that sleep schedule when school starts.
- Create a workspace -- Establish an area conducive to work and learning. Create a workspace for each of your children that is not only quiet, but also well-equipped. Take advantage of back-to-school sales to get the best prices on homework essentials such as pencils, pens, colored pencils, markers, erasers, rulers, paper, notebooks, staplers, paper clips and anything else that your children will need on a regular basis. Plenty of light and space to work is also recommended. When your children are doing their homework, limit the noise in the house as much as possible. They will be able to concentrate better without distractions.
- Be consistent -- For the rest of the summer, set aside time each day when your kids can work on academic skills, such as reading, math, and journal writing. Once school starts, this can become their homework time. Although you may have to make some changes due to lessons, classes or practices, try to stick to the same basic schedule as much as possible. Kids respond well to structure and schedules, so try to be consistent from the beginning.

If this lesson is too short for you and you would like more explanation, check out the Ukulele 101 course.
In this lesson we're giving you the run down on what to do if you're a brand new ukulele player with a brand new ukulele. This includes tuning your brand new ukulele, learning your first basic strum, and finally playing a few chords.
Login or signup for UU+ to view the full transcript of this lesson.
thank you sooo much! Playing a uke has been a dream of mine since I was a kid,but always believed it was super hard..
Now because of you,a Mom in cold north Quebec has got herself her 1rst Ukulele!!
Funny enough, like Juliette I'm another mom up north in Canada… but it's warmer here on the "Wet Coast" (west coast, haha)! Shout out to my Canadian friends! Whoo!
I've dreamt of playing ukulele since they were taught in school about grade 4… but I moved and changed schools so never go to learn it.
But 30 years later that 'itch' came back, and now – armed with a beautiful uke to play – I'm learning! But what am I missing?! So many things..
THEN, I came across Aldrine singing and playing "Moves Like Jagger" and was amazed!
Many thanks for having these lessons available. I can't tell you how excited I am and how rewarding this already is!
Mahalo – spread the uke love!
My new favourite website! I'm gonna be rocking the ukulele in no time!
Hey! I'm not the only mom who is attempting to learn an instrument for the first time. This guy is awesome. Happy Strumming
I used to play when I was a kid. But know I am in my forties, and getting back into it. And being in a wheelchair, it gives me something to look forward to, and that I can do. Thank You for such a wonderful site.
I am a Mom in my forties, and am so excited on learning to play the ukulele. He gives very good lessons. Thankyou so much…..
Thank you so much! You actually managed to show me – most of youtube can't – how to strum properly!! THANK YOU!
Thank you very much, i just have my first ukulele last nite at penang world music festival. Try to learn………
Ha, ha all you Canuck moms, thought I was the only one…maybe its being stuck in the house all winter long going crazy with cabin fevered kids that strumming the uke takes you to a warmer place for a few moments that seems to appeal to us:) I started playing my kids toy uke so I could play you are my sunshine (my sons favourite), and now I'm a full on uke freak…this site is great…have fun everyone! Strummin' along in Calgary:)
I am 85 years old. Lived in Hawaii 9 years– 57-66 Have a 1957 Kamaka Ukulele but never have learned to play..So it's now or never. My son sent me your website, and I am thrilled..can learn in secret and then Big Surprise!!! My favorite Hawaiian song is Pua Carnation. Jere
Am a very new beginner; still struggling with fat fingers! have benefitted greatly from this website! And waves to Jere. I taught my mom (80) to knit last month. I hope yr Big Surprise goes well!! will now go listen to Pau Carnation!
Hey buddy!
Loving the lesson! I am 18 and from Australia. I have hands that have been described ones of a 12 year old :/ Always wanted to play a guitar but couldn't quite do it :S So now with my new blue ukulele, I hope to learn.
I appreciate these videos! Promise to practise everyday! My fingers are aching haha

10 Foolproof Hot Summer Hairstyles
Stylishly survive the heat with an easy, breezy summer do
By Jennifer Tzeses
Beachy Pouf
When temperatures soar, forget trying to coax waves or curls into a sleek blowout. Instead, take a cue from Reese Witherspoon's beachy ringlets and use your natural waves to create a dressy bed-head look. If your hair already has some curl, you're one step ahead of this 'do, says celebrity stylist Sean Jahanbigloo of Juan Juan Salon in Beverly Hills. If not, spritz a sea salt spray onto dry hair, then tightly twist 1-inch sections to form waves around your whole head. Defuse dry and run your fingers through the twists to rough them up a bit. Lightly tease a small section of hair at the top of your head and pin it back with one or two bobby pins.

Arizona lawmaker proposes to girlfriend on Utah Senate floor
SALT LAKE CITY -- Salt Lake City Democrat Luz Robles hears hundreds of proposals each year in her post as a state senator.
But the lawmaker appeared shocked Monday when longtime boyfriend and Arizona lawmaker Juan Carlos Escamilla stepped onto the Senate floor, got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.
San Luis Democrat Escamilla popped the question on the first day of Utah's 2014 legislative session after Senate leaders granted him permission to walk on the floor.
State Democratic Party Chair Jim Dabakis congratulated Robles in a statement and welcomed Escamilla should he move to Utah.
Senate President Wayne Niederhauser captured the moment with a photo he posted on his Facebook page. He wrote in a caption that the event was an exciting start to the 2014 session.

Western Digital's wisdom in not stripping the system portion of the device should be recognized in that it has provided us with a wonderful target for our tinkering. Although sporting only 98 BogoMIPS, its hardware has unusual capabilities (hardware AES encryption and native support for Java bytecode among them) that provide further application levers for our appliance-building projects. I introduced here the hardware, its capabilities, how to breach its security and how to enable it with top-class network configuration at bootup on nearly any network. I hope you, the reader, will follow me and others in this exploration of what our imaginations can make of this small hardware wonder.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

That's My Boy (2012)
Critics Consensus: While it does represent a new foray into raunch for the normally PG-13 Sandler, That's My Boy finds him repeating himself to diminishing effect - and dragging Andy Samberg down with him.

Now, after not seeing each other for years, Todd's world comes crashing down on the eve of his wedding when an uninvited Donny suddenly shows up. Trying desperately to reconnect with his son, Donny is now forced to deal with the repercussions of his bad parenting skills. -- (C) Sony

Critic Reviews for That's My Boy
All Critics (114) | Top Critics (31) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (90)
The basic joke keeps on giving and the sweetness of the parent-child bonding scenes plays well.
It points you toward the irresistible conclusion that for all his success Sandler feels only contempt for his audience and tremendous insecurity about his own stature in the comedy universe.
Sandler's latest wicked pissah, a paean to let-it-all-hang-out party-guy sloppiness...
If someone told you about almost every joke in That's My Boy, you would think they were either a sociopath or a budding serial killer.
There is nothing creative, amusing, valuable or interesting about Sandler's work. That's My Boy isn't the worst film I have ever seen; it's just one of the saddest and most exhausting.
Yet again Adam Sandler has taken a fairly clever concept for a broad comedy and just detonated it with some of the stupidest, most repetitive gags imaginable.
Crass comedy That's My Boy adds close-to-the-knuckle raunchiness to Sandler's usual mix of stupidity and sentimentality.
[M]ay be the most repulsive movie I've ever seen... [L]ike the evil Mirror Universe version of Ted.
That's My Boy isn't as bad as expected. Don't get me wrong - it's a terrible movie - but it's occasionally funny in spite of itself.
I waited until 'tight Tuesdaday' to see it. It was the worst $11.50 I've ever spent. I've bought $11.50 mocktails that gave me more of a buzz than this piece of s---.
That's My Boy serves as a morally bankrupt reminder that Sandler, much like many of us, has no interest in changing his ways.
That's My Boy isn't just the worst film of 2012, it's one of the most morally reprehensible comedies of all time, a disgusting movie you should stay far, far away from.
The script, which resorts to incest for laughs, is utterly puerile.
Warning: this film contains scenes of incest, masturbation, gerontophilia, statutory rape and Adam Sandler.
Not nearly as terrible as burped-out Sandler disasters of recent years, there's enough funny stuff here to remind us of his talent.
With its cringe worthy script, repulsive humor, and piss poor excuse of leading men, "That's My Boy" is the equivalent of recreational brain trauma with a slice of shoving a railroad spike through one of your eyes just to pass the time.
Audience Reviews for That's My Boy
Not as bad as it could have been... Somewhere in this movie is a tolerable story about an estranged father and son, and around it is the usual Sandler frat boy schtick. It's immature, it's gross, but I've got to admit: I laughed. Nowhere near as bad as Bulletproof, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, or Little Nicky, but can't keep up with Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison either. What you see is what you get: Sandler using the money from his past successes to give younger, funnier actors an opportunity and to keep his usual crew employed. It's forgettable, disposable work, but honestly... were you expecting anything better?More

Yep, another Sandler stinker. I honestly don't know why I keep doing it to myself. It's clear he's never going to make another Wedding Singer.More
Super Reviewer
A mixed bag that I mostly enjoyed thanks to hyperbolic statements of the film's ineptitude. It really wasn't all that bad, and there were some moments that were actually quite good in terms of comedy. Adam Sandler plays a deadbeat dad who fathered a child with his teacher at the age of 14. The opening scenes of the teacher seducing the child are offensive and mishandled, but not because of their content, but because the film doesn't challenge itself later on and tries to convince us the characters were in love. Andy Samberg plays his role too straight, and Sandler is too obnoxious. BUT, there is at least one silver lining in the most unexpected of places, with Vanilla Ice playing himself in a self-deprecating role that has all the best material, including the final punchline for a warped tattoo joke, and a race against the clock in a car that has to turn into a foot race. The film is more misses than hits, but it also just doesn't give a damn.More

consent for surgery - who's job is it - page 2
This last weekend a co-worker (a nurse not even off orientation for maybe 2 months) mentioned that she had been written up by a PACU nurse for writing CABG instead of coronary artery bypass graft on the consent. I was telling my... Read More
- 0Dec 5, '07 by classicdame Guidecheck your state's Nurse Practice Act. It may be delineated there. Consider that the surgeon gets the consent but the nurse makes sure it was documented and is on the chart. If the surgeon has not gotten consent then the procedure should be delayed and the patient should NOT get medication that would make him/her incompetent to sign.
- 1Dec 5, '07 by MIRockstarRNi understand what your all saying about the doc talking to the pt first then getting informed consent - but what happens at the hospital i work at is the docs will go in and talk to a pt, then write and order for the nurse to get consent. I work nights - if dayshift doesn't get the form signed, i have no idea if the docs actually talked to the pt about the procedure/surgery. i can ask if all there questions where answered, but that doesn't mean the doc actually answered any questions. I'm very uncomfortable about this whole thing - i have worked here for 2 years - and have come to think this was normal, even though in school they teach you is the surgeons/anesthesias responsibility. But since my coworker got written up (and i know what she did was wrong - but did it really require a write up, how but talking to that person like someone previosily posted) I really feel like the docs need to get there own consent signed.
- 0Dec 5, '07 by CRNA2007How would it expose the hospital to liability? The procedure has to be explained to the patient in order for informed consent to be obtained to begin with. It might be against protocol but I don't believe you can justify it as a libaility issue.
Quote from elizabellsIf it's against protocol and could expose the hospital to liability, I understand why she was written up. Paper trail in case of later legal action.
- 1Dec 5, '07 by IndySkiesThe idea that a physician can place an order in a chart for a nurse to get a consent has always bothered me. Sometimes the doctor will have come in and talked to the patient, other times he(she) expects the consent to be signed prior to them even seeing the patient in the hospital! The hospital I work at competes very closely with another in town, the physicians and surgeons, know this and play one against the other, with a spineless CEO at this one the nurses are expected to get the consent. I never want to get an informed consent unless I heard the doc talk to the patient myself, something that rarley happens.
What I do is ask the patient if they have any questions please address them to the physician, and do not sign the consent until and unless all of their questions have been answered to thier satisfaction. I will then place a stickly note on the consent if the patient doesn't sign, explaining that the paitent wishes to speak to the doctor before signing.
I run about 50% of the patients wanting more information and/or assurances from thier doc before they agree. I know I have developed a reputation of not getting a consent, (i.e. not bending over), but, I really don't care.
- 0Dec 5, '07 by elizabellsI'm just saying that as Suzanne pointed out upthread, if a patient decides to sue later on, they can say "I didn't understand what CABG meant". So by writing up the nurse, the hospital covers itself. I'm not saying it's RIGHT, just that that could very well be the reason. Documentation of corrective action taken, so if the nurse does it again and there are legal ramifications, the hospital is less liable.
- 0Dec 5, '07 by Larry in FloridaQuote from suzanne4Right on. I work in pre-op and your on the money with the consent stuff.Abbreviations on a consent are a no-no in any form. And that has nothing to do with who obtained the consent. The consent must be written out including the full words right or left as well as procedures that we usually abbreviations for. Patients may not know them and you want to posibility of them coming back and saying that they did not understand what the initials were for.
The nurse is never the one obtaining consent, having a patient sign after they have spoken with their provider is not the same as obtaining consent; you are only witnessing their signature.
And you will see some nurses sign that right on the consent form, that they were witnesses to the signing of the patient's name only, and nothing more.

- 0Dec 12, '07 by lamazeteacherQuote from MIRockstarRNIf you're written up for not getting the patients' consent, call in the American Nurses' Association (if that's where you live and work). If you have a union, get them in on it. You're not the one doing the procedure, the doctor is!This last weekend a co-worker (a nurse not even off orientation for maybe 2 months) mentioned that she had been written up by a PACU nurse for writing CABG instead of coronary artery bypass graft on the consent. I was telling my mom about this who is also an RN and she brought up a good point - why isn't the physician getting the consent signed. What do they do where you work? We are ALWAYS the ones that get consent where i work, often times without the physician or anesthesia talking with the patients first. I always ask my pt's if they would like to wait till they are talked to by the doc but then I feel like i run the risk of getting written up for not getting consent. What do you think???
Things may have gotten skewed, when patients indicated that they hadn't a clue about what the procedure they were about to have, was. Since patient education has been our responsibility, we filled the gap without even a thank you from the doc - who was only to happy to turn over that responsibility to us.
However, when malpractise insurance companies became more involved in lawsuit prevention, the ball of getting consent went back in the doctors' "court" (pun intended).
I remember my doctor writing a special consent full of dire possibilities I could have as a result of breast cancer surgery, because he discovered that my husband was an attorney! An oncologist giving me chemotherapy also got a very detailed consent signed, and 2 miserable years afterward, said he never would have given me chemo if my husband hadn't been an attorney (that was in the mid '70s, before the current "triple agent" chemo was discovered as effective in Italy). Nevertheless, another primary malignancy in my other breast occurred in '78.
I'm still alive and active in preserving patient rights, which aren't upheld by HIPPAA (which actually contains a clause in which consent is allowed for patient information to be given to "government agencies", any insurance company, and employers). It's a wonder that it doesn't effect their FICO score - yet! :angryfire
- 0Dec 15, '07 by nursej22I was just in the GI doc's office for pre-procedure visit--routine colonoscopy to be done outpatient at a clinic.I assumed I would see the MD at this visit, but I was only intervewed by an LPN(that's what it said on her name tag, she didn't tell me her credentials). She went over the risks and then asked me to sign the consent!!
I know there are different rules outside of the hospital, like a doctor's employee can act under the the doc's license, but does that carry over to informed consent? None of the references I can find state that the doc must obtain consent in person, so I am guessing that he can delegate this as well?
I have e-mailed the licensing board, but has anyone else seen this?
- 7Dec 16, '07 by TiredMDQuote from nursej22Here's what the AMA says (http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/4608.html):I know there are different rules outside of the hospital, like a doctor's employee can act under the the doc's license, but does that carry over to informed consent? None of the references I can find state that the doc must obtain consent in person, so I am guessing that he can delegate this as well?
"Informed consent is more than simply getting a patient to sign a written consent form. It is a process of communication between a patient and physician that results in the patient's authorization or agreement to undergo a specific medical intervention.
In the communications process, you, as the physician providing or performing the treatment and/or procedure (not a delegated representative), should disclose and discuss with your patient:
- The patient's diagnosis, if known;
- The nature and purpose of a proposed treatment or procedure;
- The risks and benefits of a proposed treatment or procedure;
- Alternatives (regardless of their cost or the extent to which the treatment options are covered by health insurance);
- The risks and benefits of the alternative treatment or procedure; and
- The risks and benefits of not receiving or undergoing a treatment or procedure.
In turn, your patient should have an opportunity to ask questions to elicit a better understanding of the treatment or procedure, so that he or she can make an informed decision to proceed or to refuse a particular course of medical intervention."
- 0Dec 17, '07 by DaytoniteQuote from MIRockstarRNWasn't this discussed with you at your orientation to the hospital when you were hired? We are merely witnessing the patient's signature on the consent form. Yes, we are to ask the patient if the doctor has talked with them and if they have any questions. If they do, then we are obligated to inform the doctor. Talk with your facility instructor or whoever conducts orientation classes to clarify this for you.why isn't the physician getting the consent signed. What do they do where you work? We are ALWAYS the ones that get consent where i work, often times without the physician or anesthesia talking with the patients first.

Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Collateralized loan obligations will be able to weather an economic slowdown and there's unlikely to be a flood of sales even if Greece defaults, according to analysts at Wells Fargo & Co.
European banks are more likely to use CLOs as security for loans from central banks or foreign lenders should the financial crisis deteriorate, analysts led by Charlotte, North Carolina- based David Preston wrote in a research note yesterday. Lenders in the region hold as much as $100 billion of top-rated CLOs, or about 50 percent to 70 percent of all triple A issuance, according to the report.
"We believe CLOs have exhibited resilience through the financial crisis, and that while a recession may push prices down, CLOs should be able to withstand a slowdown," according to the report. "This is not to discard the possibility that European banks may take a more measured approach to their CLO holdings and slowly sell them over the next two to three years" as they need to raise capital, the analysts wrote.
Global markets have been roiled by Europe's sovereign debt crisis that has already forced Greece, Portugal and Ireland to seek international bailouts. The government in Athens is struggling to meet the conditions of a deficit-cutting program to ensure it gets its latest emergency loan of 8 billion euros ($11 billion) and avoids the euro-region's first national default.
Attracting Buyers
CLOs will be resilient because the corporate default rate is likely to stay low for the next 12 months and sales would drive spreads wider, attracting buyers, according to the analysts. AA rated notes offer the best value while junior- ranked mezzanine tranches will be attractive to investors who aren't worried about short-term price movements, they wrote.
"Insurance companies, U.S. banks and even high-grade accounts will likely re-enter the sector should prices drop substantially," according to the report.
Spreads have widened this year, with BB rated tranches of U.S. CLOs climbing to about 1,300 basis points, from about 900 at the end of June and AA portions at 450 basis points from about 300, according to Wells Fargo. Top-rated super-senior CLO spreads jumped to 175 basis points from 150.
CLOs package high-yield loans into securities of varying risk and return, including equity portions designed to absorb losses first and protect holders of top-rated bonds.

Audio of First NCUA Listening Session on RBC
MCUL & Affiliates is providing audio recordings from the first NCUA Listening Session that dealt primarily with the regulator's Risk Based Capital proposal. Once available, MCUL will provide recordings of the subsequent two meetings.
The NCUA's second Listening Session of the year was July 10 in Chicago. A third session is set for July 17 in Alexandria, Va. The first session was June 24 in Los Angeles.
NCUA also plans to post recordings of the sessions, but it will take several weeks because they have to be transcribed in accordance with federal closed-captioning laws.
In addition to the full recording, the above link includes sound clips sorted by topic so listeners can easily find the parts to which they want to listen.
The NCUA, along with other regulatory agencies, issued interagency guidance on home equity lines of credit (HELOC) nearing the end of their draw periods. The guidance describes core operating principles that should govern oversight of these products and components of a risk-management approach that considers the potential exposures.
The guidance addresses the review that examiners will conduct on credit unions' risk management programs for end-of-draw provisions. Additionally, the guidance addresses the need for management to implement policies and procedures for managing HELOCs nearing the end of draw periods, in line with the size and complexity of their portfolio. The prudent risk management expectations listed in the guidance includes:
1. Developing a clear picture of scheduled end-of-draw period exposures
2. Ensuring a full understanding of end-of-draw contract provisions
3. Evaluating near-term risks
4. Contacting borrowers through outreach programs
5. Ensuring that refinancing, renewal, workout and modification programs are consistent with regulatory guidance and expectations, including consumer protection laws and regulations
6. Establishing clear internal guidelines, criteria and processes for end-of-draw actions and alternatives (renewals, extensions, and modifications)
7. Providing practical information to higher-risk borrowers
8. Establishing end-of-draw reporting that tracks actions taken and subsequent performance
9. Documenting the link between allowance for loan and lease losses – ALLL – methodologies and end-of-draw performance
10. Ensuring that control systems provide adequate scope and coverage of the full end-of-day draw period exposure

American 1 hosts 12 annual events for the public, with the income from booth fees and concessions going to local nonprofits. American 1 offers a scholarship program for high school seniors where credit union members donate $25 to the program to skip one month's loan payment; in 2013, 15 $1,000 scholarships were awarded to local students.
"We're thrilled and honored to be recognized by the Governor with the award for Corporate
Community Leader," Vice President of Marketing Kristi Edgar said. "Being a member-owned, local financial institution it's the mission of our board of directors and the entire American 1 team to give back to the communities we serve.

text: Vietnamese women artists have survived the standard political and historical transitions their countrymen have endured from patriarchy to feminism, through eras marked by Confucianism, revolution and social reform. The narrative of the women's liberation movement often follows the discourse of economic development and globalization, where artistic success is measured by international commercial success. In the 21st century, however, women are no longer vying for a place in the male dominated art world and have found a different kind of liberation. While male artists appear more visible in the international art circuits, women artists have been carving a niche for themselves in the experimental art movement. Taking as an example three Vietnamese performance artists: Nguyen Phuong Linh, Lai Thi Dieu Ha, and Nguyen Trinh Thi, this paper will examine the choices that women artists face in finding a space for their artistic practices that provides them room for creativity and self-expression.
